Revelation of the Rapture #02

Transcript in progress.

Audio is available now.

Heavenly Father, again we’re very pleased with the fact that we have been made aware of the personal Presence of our Great God and Savior who has wrought our salvation for us. Even now, setting Himself as the Head of the Church, in order to raise the dead.

We thank you for this Lord, we know that this is not some myth, or some little fable. Something Lord that has a moral to it. Or, some little thing that is to palliate (soften) us now at this time. But, it is life, absolutely life. We’re grateful for that. And, this is our life. We rejoice in it.

With joy unspeakable and full of glory, our whole hope is pinned on It Lord, and we cannot turn elsewhere. Now, we have turned this way Lord, we are with It, for we know that there is no place else to go.

Our lot is cast with thee O God, we are on Your side, because You came to our side. And, we are grateful. Help us tonight, in the study of Your Word in Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now, the other, for about two nights at least, we’ve gone into the fact or the thought, Brother Branham said, “But, to the church, the Bride, the Rapture is a revelation to her, it’s revealed to her.”

That the revelation of the true Bride of Christ will be waiting for that revelation of the Rapture.

Now, my understanding here, of course, is, that this is not what many people have thought it to be, who believed this Message. Said, “You know it’s a revelation, I just get a revelation then that’s the Rapture.” Come on.

A revelation is going to bring something. See? What it… a revelation, has to do with something that is there. We’re not dealing with the nebulous. See?

What it is, Brother Branham has told us, that you’ve got to put your own thinking aside. You’ve got to let it go.

And, I’m going to read you something out of ‘Oneness,’ “You’ve got to get with the Word. Get yourself killed out.”

Now, right away I recognized from even what he was going to say next, that the average person wants to say, “Well I’m in debt indeed unto sin, but I’m alive unto God.”

Well, that’s very good, very good, but, that’s not all of it. I’m persuaded that many of us friends, have received the Holy Ghost, but we just receive enough Holy Ghost in us, to make us to a place where, we don’t want to be, feel or do anything, in other words, deeds and so on.

But, God wants to fill every fiber of His Church. He wants to fill your thinking. See, now. That’s over the heads of the people, because they don’t believe that this is the ‘mind age’. This is the age of repentance.

They are too much like this fellow, that came out of New Zealand, he wanted to argue with me over my preaching, that repentance was that emotional feeling you get. Now, come on. It isn’t godly sorrow, “godly sorrow leadeth to repentance.” Godly sorrow is not repentance.

Do you understand what I’m saying? Look I’m just about to the end of my rope, with talking to people, dealing with people, and I might as well go back to teaching two year olds. And, I’ve got a pretty good vocabulary, and I could snow them.

Now, godly sorrow worketh repentance. Godly sorrow, is not repentance. But, you’re going to get everybody in Pentecost believing that, “I repented, with godly sorrow.” Look it, repentance is changing the mind. See?

Old Doc Peter has a whole lot more on the ball, and Napoleon Hill, and Claude Bristol, and Christian Science and Unity, than Pentecost ever has had. When it comes to knowing, and understanding the mind.

So you can snow any Pentecostals, and this is the Pentecostal age we’re coming out of. You can snow them with anything. Anything goes, anything goes, it’s God. Good happy feeling, well that’s wrong. You’ve got to be with the Word.

Now, He wants to fill your thinking, so that means; “Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord. If bad times come I say Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord.” That’s good I appreciate that, that’s there too. But, that’s not everything.

Because, you can go through that, and be as false anointed as a hypocrite ever was. So that’s not what it is. He wants to fill every bit of you. Just make you completely totally dead to yourself, and to your thinking. See?

Just those surrendered in God, shall His Word, just living right there through you. Alright. What Word? Well the false anointed got, lay hands upon the sick, prophesy, do this, do that.

And you say, “It’s living through them.” I beg your pardon, it is not. Because, first of all, they are all out of order when it comes to gifts. So now you’re doing what the devil did. Take the things of God, and prostitute them. Pervert them.

And, nobody can deny that all the power of the devil has, comes from God. Oh they say, “Now, hold it.” Hold it yourself, I’m telling you the truth. The devil doesn’t have one bit of power, authority, but it originally, came from God.

And the understanding of the entirety of Scripture, is to realize where perversion comes in. That’s right. There isn’t one thing that the devil can do but it’s a perversion. Man does the same thing. See?

You don’t know nothing else, but God’s Word. Just to stay right with His Word. Now, what if you’ve got all the manifestation that applies to the Word, or seemingly, and literally, does come from the Word that is set forth there.

And, you yourself, were off the Word. You say, “Who’s that?” That’s Balaam. That’s Pentecost. That’s a bunch of Methodists and Baptists too, so don’t sell them short. They’re right in there, in the hog pen too.

“My Words are life,” said Jesus. He’s placed them with teachers, believing the Bible, prophets that say the truth. That say, “Show the same prophesies that they’ve always done, down through the age.”

What’s He done? He’s showing Himself alive, among them. Confirming his Word. Alright. What about confirming His Word? Everybody talks, confirming His Word, with signs and wonders. Hallelujah. Confirming His Word, with signs and wonders. Hallelujah.

At the end time, there’s false anointed, and that’s confirming His Word with signs and wonders, because He said He would be there. Tell me, who has got the right one? Not the man that’s off the Word.

Now He’s going to confirm His Word with signs and wonders, He’s set Himself if at Head of the Church in order to raise the dead. You tell me, who’s going to come out of the ground? And who’s going to get changed? Not the false anointed.

But, they’ve got a confirmed Word, and, their confirmed Word is, at the end time. The hypocrite, the make believer, will be doing more, and have more on his side, in numbers, and in multitude of works, than the real born again Christian. “For many more are the children of the desolate,” than she that has a husband.

Well you say, “Now, how does it work?” It works, simple. If I want to make a lot of money, I would get a mailing list. And, you take the law of averages. That’s right.

And, in the law of averages, you can get anybody to listen to your clap trap and hog wash, and they will send you money. Do you want to know how to make money? I’m telling you. Get a mailing list. It’s called the law of averages.

Okay, you get a great big bunch of people that belong to Hagar, the group of which is below here. Certainly, she’s going to provide more, and have more than anybody else.

She’ll have more kids, she’ll have more signs, more wonders, she’ll have more miracles, more love, if you call love, this, that and another thing. But, she will not have the Word.

Why? Because, she’ ain’t got the seed. Now we’ll hit that a little later. One more thing. Oneness with God, is to have God’s Spirit in you, agreeing with the Word. All the Word.

The whole Word, and to make It manifested in power. There you are. That’s oneness with God. In the last day we’re going to be one.

Brother Branham said the Bride would have the Word and know what to do with It or she wouldn’t even bother. We’re closing into the end time.

Alright, I hope we can get through tonight because I want to get into the Rapture. And, that’s what we’re into, we’re into the prelude of it this time.

Last time we took the Rapture itself. In here, we are where Brother Branham said,

[2 Peter 3:] Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

For this they willingly are ignorant of that, [Now listen, they are willingly ignorant of this, that is] that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that… was, being overflowed with water, perished:

Now It says there, it’s something that they’re cognisant of, there’s something that they know. They put it to one side, they ditch it. They are willingly ignorant.

They don’t want it to come into their minds, their hearts. They don’t want it, because it’s going to upset their apple cart. Do you think for one minute that Pentecost would want William Branham to come in and set the Church in order?

When Grandma runs the Church, she likes to do her little chittery dance, yap, yap, yap in tongues and everything else. And her phony prophecy’s.

Do you think they’ll want to leave their congregation? To lose them? Pfap. You know better than that. It’s all built on stinking politics. Certainly, they don’t want the church put in order.

Do you think the Baptists want to be set right on what true eternal security is? Be really full of the Holy Ghost? No way. How are you going to get lost, if you’re truly full of the Holy Ghost? See?

Do you think the Nazarene’s want it? Blows their sanctification. Sanctification is legalism. After justification came sanctification. Is where legalism comes in.

The hardest job everybody’s got sitting here tonight, is your legalistic background. And, that goes for you former Catholics.

Too bad Joe, but, you know, that’s the truth. Except, you had one thing, you could sin like the devil, and did something, by next Sunday after confession, you’re forgiven.

If you had the money. Is that it? I thought it was something like that. It was actually pretty good psychology. That ought to get you off the hook. Ten bucks and you’re off the hook.

That’s what the guy did, he kept going to this priest all the time for his sin. Said, “It’s going to cost you ten dollars. Put it in the poor box.”

And, the priest took the money. That’s in the days when ten dollars, was ten dollars. Fifty dollars now, just put you in the fifty dollar bracket.

One day this guy came up to me, after about eight weeks in a row, paying the priest fifty dollars.

He said, “I’ve been coming over my guilty sins,” he said, “Yeah.” said the priest, “I want to talk to you about that.” He said, “You’ve been doing a lot of that.” He said, “Yeah, if you ain’t careful, and lower your price, I’m going to take my business down the road, he’ll do it for forty.”

Going out and getting drunk, knocking people in the mouth, then knowing, he’s got to be forgiven for it.

So, alright. Use a little psychology in there. Alright. They are willingly ignorant of something at the end time. That when they are confronted, they know that it’s real, and they’re not going to take it. They say, “No way.” Alright.

Now said,

The Rapture  65-1204

[33]  The reason the people are acting today the way they’re acting today, you certainly are expecting it, because the Bible said that: “In the last days they’d be heady, high minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, despisers of those that are good, having a form of godliness and denying the power thereof; from such turn away.” Can we look…

Now here’s where Brother Branham placed it. Can we look for a impersonation of Truth? Certainly! 

Now you see, here’s the thing. You and I read that, and we think that, now what is this? This is a bunch out there that, they never got past the… well, they never got past the door of the church. Never got anything from God. Oh, don’t you kid yourselves. These are impersonators. See. They got something.

[34]  When Moses went down into Egypt to deliver the children of Israel with only a stick in his hand for vindication, with the God of heaven behind him, he performed a miracle. There came impersonators behind him and doing the same thing he did. See?…

Now Brother Branham, was letting you know what’s going on, he came on the scene originally, they followed. Do you see everybody? Yeah. Unless they’re one with the Word. Sure.

There’s a fellow right now today, Brother Branham said when he’s off the field, when I leave the field, you watch him proliferate, you watch him really do great things.

Got a guy right down here in Ohio, on the border with Kentucky, I think he’s likely told people more dreams than Brother Branham ever did. But, he makes mistakes. He’s off the Word, too. He’s a Trinitarian.

Now, they come second after he did it. Then they come around, because they were copying after what he did, impersonating the original. We find that. [He placed it right in this hour.] “Well, that was in the days of Moses.”

But the same Scripture says that they’ll come again in the last days, “As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so will these man of reprobate mind concerning the Truth.” 

What were they reprobate in? In the mind. Now they might have had an awful good heart. They might have been awful nice people. They might have been those perennial do-gooders. They are the worst of the worst.

…See? Impersonations, all kinds of things to upset people…

[35]  And then, if this Rapture which is coming to pass, and anything that God has in the line of His Word, there’s always something to come out, to upset that, if they can. It’s Satan’s purpose.

It tells you, there’s something that’s going to come out, to upset the Rapture. And, we read where it’s a revelation.

Now I told you the time before, that you’ve got Sperry Lewis Chafer, and you’ve got old Dr. Charles A. Fuller, and you’ve got all these guys on the air, and everyone was telling you the truth. Everyone, differ.

And, everyone had an idea about the Rapture. Pre-tribulation, post tribulation. Post Millennium. Pre-Millennium. God knows, I don’t.

They had it all figured out. Now, let’s face it. Now, the people are upset. Now then, a lot of people they come to the place where they say, “Hey, I believe this.”

What if they’re wrong? What if you get a lot of comfort out of, somebody letting you know for sure the tornado had not blown the roof off of your house.

You’d say, “Oh boy, I’m sure glad you know it missed my house.” And, you come there, (fap) you haven’t even got a house!

Now you had a lot of comfort, until the time you got there. Right? What if you’re wrong? What if you’re wrong about the Rapture?

Bible distinctly says, “You make void my commandments, my Word by my prophets by your traditions.”

What if there is a tradition with the Rapture? Everybody wants to go Hallelujah. Some get pretty smug. What if it’s their own thinking? What if it’s not God’s thinking?

[36]  As the brother here from the meeting up there at Las Vegas said, “Satan,” said, “the world was his dominion and–and that being his headquarters up there.”

The guy said, Satan owns the world, and his headquarters were in Las Vegas.

I know that Satan is the god of this world. Every nation under heaven is controlled by him. That’s exactly right! This world belongs to Satan. But Jesus will take it over. Satan offered it to Jesus one day, and Jesus refused it; but He said–’cause He knowed He’d be heir to it in the times to come. 

[37]  Scoffers, let’s just take for a few moments on that one word before we go further. Scoffers… I was reading a paper about two weeks ago in Tucson that where some Englishman from England had made a statement–it was in headlines in the paper–that the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ was only fake between Pilate and Jesus, that He come to make a–just to make Himself something.

And there’s no way that we could disprove that to them, How could you this late in the day? because all the things of God is to be received by faith. We must believe it. 

Now how can God, Himself prove anything? No way. But, He can make you stop and think. And, He can make you think, sure there is a God, but what kind of a God? And, how many? See? 

Now, he went ahead to give a description how that could be done. [That is, to fake the crucifixion.]

[38]  Here not long ago in that great nation, London, in England rather, where that John Wesley and Charles and many of those great preachers of the early days, like Spurgeon and those that preached the Gospel in the hay markets and everywhere there, they turned down that message of their day and look what they are in this day.

There’s where Brother Williams ,and them are tonight. [That’s Carl Williams, who is deceased now, businessman] It’s one of the lowest degraded countries in the world. I’ve been over the world, but I don’t know anything that so illegitimate as England. Billy Graham said the same thing.

He had to take his wife from the parks, because of indecent acts. When I was there I never saw anything would break a person’s heart any more than what was going on in England, which had the opportunity and one time led the world in a reformation. Just shows how it can fall. 

[39]  But you see what does that, the message that went forth then, the Englishmen try to hold that same message for today.

What is it? Justification, Sanctification. It was really Sanctification, because Justification came through Germany.

…It won’t work. 

[40]  …What if Moses would’ve come and brought Noah’s message, “We’ll build an ark and float down the Nile?” It wouldn’t have worked. And neither would Jesus’ message work by Moses. And neither will Wesley’s message ever work in Luther or Luther’s message vise versa. And today, –our last great reformation was Pentecost.

And today we’re moving from that, and the Pentecostal message won’t mix with this, because it’s another day. It’s all the Word of God, but it’s building. Like the feet, arms, coming up, it’s forming a Bride for the rapture.

See, It don’t–don’t displace them people back there; they lived to their message. All those will come out that was in the Bride. Just like life going through a stalk of wheat. It leaves the wheat–the hull, but the wheat forms itself, like the grain of wheat that fell in the ground. 

[41]  Here not long ago I was reading a book that some German wrote in criticism; he said, “Of all of the–of the fanatics in the world, William Branham tops them all.” He said, “Why, he’s nothing but a… magician.” See, the man not knowing…And then, the man was a critic. He didn’t even believe in God.

He said, “A God that could set up in the Dark Ages, hold his hands across his tummy, and laugh at a bunch of Christians being mothers, and his own disciples was supposed to be–mothers with little children and things and let lions eat them up and never even turn a hand.” You see where the carnal mind, where education and things can’t catch the vision? That corn of wheat had to fall into the ground.

That’s the Church he’s speaking of. Like Christ. 

[43]  Just like Jesus had to fall to rise again, so did the church of Pentecost had to fall. It had to go into the ground, them Dark Ages. Any wheat that–any grain that goes into the ground, it has to lay in that dark time to bring forth. But it started sprouting in Martin Luther. Come out of Wesley, on out into Pentecost; now into the–go out to the grain.

And now, the denominational systems that they left behind, they’re stalks. That’s all. It’s to be burnt. But the real grain of wheat that come out of each one of those reformations will be caught up in the Bride. It’ll altogether will be made Bride.

Now, you see, that answers the questions that a lot of people wonder about the ages before us. Were they baptized with the Holy Ghost?

Did they have the Word? Certainly, they did. There is no problem there. Isn’t it funny, people always want to look back and say, “ What’s with those birds?” What’s with you birds? What’s with us birds? That’s the question. See? 

[44]  Now, we find out in England there they impersonated the crucifixion not long ago, a bunch of people, bunch of kids with long hair hollering and calling Jesus “daddy-o” and all that stuff. Now, you say, “That’s in England, London,.”

Watch what was in the paper last week here in America. Some great doctor of divinity from a fine school said that the–the crucifixion was a fake, said that Jesus only tried to make [Himself] like that, that He had drunk the mandrake weed,… We find it in Genesis where it’s spoke of.

It’s a weed like marijuana or something. It’s found in the Orient there. And if you drink it, it’ll put you to sleep, maybe in your–like you’re dead, slump over, everything maybe for two or three days at a time. 

[46]  He said when they give Him vinegar and gall, it’s all possible that that was mandrake weed. And when they did, they give it to Him; and He went and slumped like He was dead. They put Him in the tomb, and they laid Him there. And after two or three days, sure, going back He was awake again, was all right.

Said He went up to India and died somewhere an ordinary death. Trying to fake a religion. The first place, that critic… What’s the matter with people? See? It’s just this day we’re living in, scoffers (see?) the day to fulfill the prophecy. 

[47]  God a ‘lotted His Word out to each age. And each one of those ages has to manifest that. And He also foreordained men for that age to fulfill that Word. Every time He a ‘lotted His Word, He a– lotted a man for it. When He allotted Moses’ time, He allotted Moses to it. When He allotted a time for the Son of God to be born, He allotted Him to it.

Every age He’s allotted His men, foreordained. As the Bible said, … If God’s infinite, almighty, all powerful, omnipresent, omniscient, why, He knew all things in the beginning. So He knew… There’s nothing out of cater; it’s just us that thinks it is…Look back in the Word and see what He’s doing, then we’ll have an understanding. 

[49]  Now, just think. The first place, if that minister would’ve thought, when they put that vinegar and gall in His mouth, He spit it out. He did not take it at the first place. See? It’s just scoffers rising. Another thing, how did this Jesus of Nazareth, how did His life fit every prophecy of the Old Testament? How could it been. It couldn’t have been without it been ordained of God. His life fit every prophecy of the Old Testament.

Another thing, if those disciples had faked Him like that, why did each one of them die in martyrdom? And even the apostle Peter said, “Turn my head up-side-down; I’m not worthy to die like He did” How… They took Andrew and turned him sideways on the cross.

They every one sealed their testimony in their blood. They believed Him, and loved Him, and gave their life for Him. If He was a faker, how would they ever have done that? See, the spiritual application, people don’t get it. 

[50]  Here was a great man here not long ago, some great Rabbi, that wrote that Moses while passing through the Red Sea, said, “It wasn’t actually water; the waters never walled up.”

Said, “What it was, up at the other end of the Dead Sea, there was a bunch of reeds, and he passed through the water–reeds, the reeds of the water. [Red Sea not Dead Sea, Dead Sea is in Palestine] No water in there, just a bunch of reeds, an ocean of–of reeds they passed through.” And many clergy believe it;…

Just like one person said they begin to, “Praise the Lord.” What are you praising the Lord for? He said, “My goodness me, Just think of the miracle that Pharaoh’s whole army drowned in it.” So you know, you’ve always got an answer. Just stick with it. 

[52]  Education, and the educational system, science, and civilization is of the devil. It’s the devil’s civilization. The Bible said so. And our civilization that’s coming on will have nothing to do with this civilization at all. It’s nothing of it at all. It’ll be a different civilization.

Into this civilization and this scientific world we got... [He doesn’t finish his sentence] the more scientific we get, further we go into death, things, traps to kill, and everything. In that new civilization there’ll be no death, no sickness, sorrow, or no pain. See? There won’t be any in there. So this civilization will have to be destroyed, because it’s of the devil. 

[53]  We find out that in Genesis 4 that Cain’s people started civilization, building towns, and cities, and so forth, and instruments of music, and were great in science. And the people got further away from God, but were religious. But when Cain’s people came on, they begin to call on the Name of the Lord. 

[54]  I’m not here to hurt anybody’s feelings, or say something about a church. And if you’re here and belong to this church, I’m not saying this to hurt your feeling, ‘cause just as many good people in there as there is in other church.

But I was reading in Shreveport last week where the Catholic church made a statement. And see where they’re all coming together now to some great ecumenical council and so forth, exactly fulfilling what the Bible said they’d do. Just exactly…

[55]  Now, we find out they said, “Why, the Bible, the–some of the Protestants want to hold to that Bible. Why,” said, “the Bible was nothing but a Book, a history of the church, and they didn’t have It in literature till about 250 years ago. It’s always been the church.”

Said, “It was the church not the Bible, and the Bible is just a history of what the church did.” What a subtle lie that is. Why, we’ve had the Bible for three thousand years. The Old Testament was been written in Scripture for hundreds and hundreds of years before the coming of Christ. It’s just a subtle thing of the devil. 

[56]  And we find out in this day when this great scoffing and making fun of the Bible and trying to push It out… God’s got to judge the church by something…

See now, that’s where your Rapture comes in. Revelation, the whole bit. What exactly, is in the Bible. That’s my interpolation.

[56]  …God’s got to judge the church by something. He can’t be just… They can’t go down this street and arrest me and say I’m making thirty miles an hour in a twenty mile zone unless there’s something there to tell me that I’m only allowed to go twenty miles. It has to be there.

And God’s going to judge the church–is going to judge the people someday. We know that. There’s a judgment coming. So if He’s going to judge the church by the Catholic church, which Catholic church? If He’s going to judge it by the Methodist, the Baptist is lost. Judging it by the oneness, the twoness is lost. See?

What’s He going to judge it by? He said He would judge it by Christ, and Christ is the Word. So it’s the Word of God that God will judge. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us… The same yesterday, today, and forever.” See?

So He’ll judge it by the Word. And now, we find out that in this day when they’re trying to push the Bible out, and accept the church… instead of The Bible, they don’t want it—So they can just make any kind of a creed or anything else and walk by it. 

[58]  Why, as I was speaking the other night at Shreveport talking about the communion when they’d kill that sacrificial lamb, there was to be no leaven among them through the entire seven days. No leaven, no leaven bread. Everything had to be unleavened.

That represented the Seven Church Ages that we get in the book here. And there’s no leaven when it’s–something mixed with it. And we’ve the mixed creed, and denomination, and everything else with the Word and still we try to call It the Word.

No leaven shall be the entire seven days. And even what is eaten today, don’t try to keep it for tomorrow, burn it with fire before the daylight comes, for there’s a new message coming forth and a new thing. 

[59]  See, try to hold it over. But that’s been the attitude of the church. A revival goes forth, and the first thing you know, within about three years they start an organization over it, and they do organize it. The denomination starts a organization.

But have you noticed, this has been sweeping for twenty years now, and there’s no organization. And there never will be! This is the end.

The wheat’s come back to the wheat again. The wheat’s come back to its grain. The shuck has pulled away from it. And the wheat must lay in the presence of the sun to be ripened.

Now there again, that’s been twisted by many people. Just take it, as he says it.

[60]  Isn’t it a strange thing that not long ago on the East Coast, the big blackout. They couldn’t understand it. Texas blacked out last week. They can’t understand it. Don’t you realize that that’s a sign? Don’t you know the nations are breaking? Israel’s in her homeland, and these signs are indicating that we are at the end!

The same time it’s blacking out, don’t you know that’s a sign that the prophet said that– ”But there shall be Light about the evening time,” that there will be a Light come forth in the evening time when the blackouts and things are going the way they are now. Look at just how it blacked out. 

[61]  The Pope just come over here. Remember at the tabernacle when them–you get the tapes-I guess all of you get them–how that the Lord showed there that day in the tabernacle exactly where those Church Ages would be and how they would be. And I had drawn them out on the board up there, them Church Ages which you see here drawn out in the book.

And if that Holy Spirit didn’t come down in a big Pillar of Fire and went right back there on the wall and drew them out Himself while three or four hundred people sitting there looked at it.

And just as the Pope started over here, the moon somehow blacked out, and they took the pictures, the same way that it was drawn out here on the platform.

Now, he’s made his trip over here on the 13th, walked 13 steps, served communion to 13, to a nation that’s number 13, and blackouts everything coming. Don’t you see where we’re at. We’re at the end time.

That’s of course, the first time, the Pope came over. 

[62]  “Scoffers shall rise in the last days, saying, ‘There’s no difference in the time than what it was, than when our fathers fell asleep.’” But when you see these things begin to happen, raise up your head; get ready; something could happen at any time. Christ come for His church.

Now, you notice how he’s relating the Word, his ministry, with this. When you hear him, you’d almost swear that he’s talking about events. But, he’s not.

He’s not just taking events, he’s linking them with the Word, and therefore, you’re going to have to link what’s in his ministry, with His Word. Or, you haven’t got it.

Now this is where the church went off. This is where there’s so much trouble in our ranks, that too many people can’t get their own thinking put aside. They can’t do it.

And, I admit, it’s terribly hard. If you’ve been taught all your life, that black is brown, you’re going to have an awful job getting over it. But believe me, to unlearn that black is not brown, is much simpler than, getting rid of your creeds and doctrines.

Now, Christ come for His Church.

[63]  Now, they don’t believe it, because… They don’t realize that they’re the ones that’s fulfilling the Scriptures.

Why do you think false anointed? Do you think, they believe they’re fulfilling Scripture? Not, this way. The other way. They are convinced that, they are the ones. So, they are heady and high minded.

A man anointed with the Holy Ghost, but not full of the Holy Ghost, but anointed. Or full of the Holy Ghost this age way.

You could tell them, “Hey, you haven’t got it.” “Why, don’t you tell me that, you whipper-snapper.” See? But, you know something? We, know. If we don’t know, nobody knows.

Because, if this goes down the drain, you’d better believe everything is down the drain, because, there hasn’t been anything like this for two thousand years. See? No way.

In fact actually, how much was Jesus known when He was here on earth? Not at all. How well was He known, for who He was when William Branham went to Africa and India and places around the world? Very well known.

If He wasn’t well known back there, and He’s well known now, and the whole thing blows up. What do you doing? There’s no such thing. What are you looking for? Nothing. But he proved, that this was the Word. Okay.

[63]  Now, they don’t believe it… The people really don’t realize in doing these things and saying these things they’re fulfilling the Scriptures.

How little did Caiaphas the high priest and all those priests in that day that scoffed and made fun of Him–didn’t know that the very God that they were singing about, “My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me (the 22nd Psalm), My hands and My feet, they pierced…”

Singing that in the temple and Him dying out there on the cross, little did they know they were doing it. Even Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them. They don’t know what they’re doing.” Because they were actually predicted by the Scriptures to be blind. [Same thing this day of course.] 

[64]  Did you know the Protestant and Catholic church is predicted in the last days to be blind, the same thing through the Scriptures, with Christ on the outside trying to get in?

“Because thou sayest I am rich and have need of nothing, knowest thou not that thou art miserable, poor, wretched, naked, and blind, and don’t know it!”…

Now, he could preach this in Pentecostal churches, and, did they think they were preaching that about them? No. They’re looking way down the road. That’ll come soon, when we’re out of here. Yeah. They didn’t believe, that was about them.

Well that’s the new bunch coming in, maybe. Well of course, it wouldn’t be their kids. They’d get by too. And their grandkids. Of course they’d get by too. And of course their great grandkids. They’d get by too. And great great grandkids. They’d get by too. And great, great, great grandkids. They’d get by too.

Now we’re come to four greats. Hogwash. It’s now. They didn’t know the hour of the visitation. See, this goes to the Scripture where It says, “If the princes of this world had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.”

They would not have crucified, the One that fulfilled the Word. See? What are they trying to do today? They’re doing the same thing. Okay. 

 …There you are, back to the blindness again, trampling over the things of God as if they didn’t mean nothing to them, scoffing and making fun of it; that’s what the Bible said. 

[65]  But to the Church, the Bride, the rapture is a revelation to her. It’s revealed to her, that the revelation, the true Bride of Christ will be waiting for that revelation of the rapture…

Now, his language, is kind of awkward there. But, you can tell that there’ll be a people waiting, amongst all these. Who simply know that something isn’t right, and when it does come, what is right, they will know it. And, receive that revelation. See?

Because, something’s wrong, because these people are convinced by the Word, that they are the Word. That they are the Bride. It isn’t going to work.

 [66]  Now, it is a revelation, for the revelation is faith. You cannot have a revelation without it being faith. Faith is a revelation, because it’s something that’s revealed to you. Faith is a revelation.

Faith is something that has been revealed to you like it was to Abraham, that could call anything contrary to what had been revealed to him as though it wasn’t.

Now you’ll notice in there, the language is beautiful. Because, it tells you that Abraham, could ditch his former revelation, for the present revelation. Because that’s what he said. That could call anything contrary, to what had been revealed to him, as though it hasn’t. See?

He could take and look at what was contrary, and say, “Forget it.” Ditch it, and he’ll right to what the revelation was. Now do you think for one minute that Abraham had a revelation.

That he and his wife, were going to be changed back to kids? I don’t believe it. I believe he just thought God has performed a miracle again, that he would get fertile again, and, she’d be able in her old age to have a child. Because that’s the Scripture people used all the time.

You’d go way back there, and the idea would be well, and then the revelation came. You’re going to be young people. How would you like to be slapped in the face with that one? That would sure wake you up in a hurry.

Say, “Hey, I never thought of that.” Just a minute now. Who are those young people? You say his revelation just went down the drain. What he thought.

[67]  Here a few weeks ago I was talking to a fine Baptist minister. He said, “I like you as a man, Brother Branham, but” said, “you’re all mixed up.” I said, “Then I pray you help me get straightened out.. with the Scripture Why he said, “We’ll never be able, Brother Branham, to get the things together till we get every word upon word upon word exactly with the Greek and so forth.

“I said, “Oh, sir, you know better than that.” I said, “Even back before the Nicene Council, they were debating which Greek scholar(s) were debating, was right. You cannot, except.. It’s a revelation. The whole thing is…”He said, “I cannot accept revelation. “I said, “Then how can you accept Christ?”

He said, “Why, the Bible said, ‘He that believeth on Christ has Everlasting Life.’ “I said, “That is true. It also says that no man can call Jesus the Christ only by the revelation of the Holy Spirit that’s revealed it to him.” See?

And there you are, right back around again, falls right back to the revelation. It’s got to be revealed. There you are, falls right back to revelation.

[70]  In the Bible… Cain and Abel didn’t have a Bible to read, but it was revealed to Abel by faith, which is a revelation. Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than that of Cain, which God testified that he was righteous…

What made him righteous? They said, “The sacrifice did.” That’s wonderful. Where did he get it? From revelation. You better put them together. You can’t have one without the other. See? 

…When Jesus was asked here in Matthew 16:17 and 18… We haven’t time to read it, but if you want to write it down. He said, “Who does man say I, the Son of man, am?” One of them said, “You’re Moses, Elias, or someone.” He said, “But who do you say I am?” 

[71]  He said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” 

[72]  He said, “Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonas, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you; My Father which is in heaven has revealed this to you. Upon this rock (the spiritual revelation of who God is, who Jesus is, and He is the revelation of God, God made in flesh and revealed to the world. He was in the world; God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, revealing what God was in a body of flesh.)…” “Thou art the Christ, the Anointed One, the Son of God.” 

[73]  He said, “Flesh and blood never revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven has revealed this to you. Upon this rock, I’ll build My church (the revelation of the Word in It’s season)–I’ll build My church and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it.” 

[74]  The Book of the Revelation is the last Book of the Bible. It’s sealed to unbelievers. In there the Bible says in the 22nd chapter, “Whoever shall add one or take I’ll take his part from the Book of Life.” We realize that then It was altogether given for believers…

Okay. That’s right. Because, if you take from it, or add to it. you’re out. So, therefore it’s a very special class of people. It’s the believer type, that doesn’t add or take.

Then the point is, how do you get that far? Who takes you there? See? We realize, that it was altogether given for believers.

…And it opens the Book of Revelation and reveals who the Author of this entire Book is (He’s to look upon as Alpha and Omega, from Genesis to Revelation, Jesus Christ just the same right straight through), and reveals His complete mystery of Himself and His plans for His church ages that’s to come, and was sealed in there by Seven Seals.

Now, that’s what he tells you that book is. 

[75]  Now, the Book was written, but then remember, It was sealed with Seven Seals. And these Seven Seals was not to be opened, Revelation 10, until the sounding of the last earthly angel on earth, Revelation 10:7. See?

“And in the days of the sounding of the last angel’s Message, seventh angel, the mystery of God should be finished in that age.” That… And that’s the age that we’re living in. 

[76]  We all know we’re living the Laodicea Age…

And, some people don’t. This fellow, what’s his name? Not Dr. Ed, but, not Effley, but something like that.

He’s out there in California, he says that this, that this is the Sixth Age. He got it all figured out. Well, he’s got it all figured out wrong.

Now,

…So we’re living in the Laodicea Age, and these Seven Seals that’s held that Book is a mystery to people, should be open at that day. That’s what He promised…

Now see, that’s why he’s hitting it, revelation. Now he’s letting the people know the book’s got to be opened, there’s got to be a revelation.

And, when he talks about the Rapture, he lets you know that the Rapture, was given to him by revelation. It’s under the mysteries revealed under the Seventh Seal in Revelation 10: 1-7. 

 …Now, it won’t be nothing outside the Word, because you can’t add to the Word or take from the Word. It’s got to remain always the Word. But the revelation is to reveal the Truth of It, (that’s the Word) what It is, to make It fit with the rest of the Scripture. And then God vindicates that to be the Truth.

Well, the point is. How are you going to vindicate the Rapture? You’re stuck. You’ll see the dead come out of the ground. That’s when no more won’t die.

Up north, we have a little previous, he wants us cooped up with his gimmicks. We don’t buy gimmicks here. You, stick with the Word. Because, you wouldn’t even know the Rapture was even going to take place. Because, you’re not changed.

You know the Rapture is going on now. That’s what you know, and you know this generation cannot pass away. Now, what is the vindication of the truth of the Rapture? Mount Zion, the Rapture itself.

You’ll see the dead come out of the ground. You’ll get changed, you’ll wave the world, good-bye. I don’t think, you’ll even take the time to wave good-bye, actually. Too busy, looking up. And then, God vindicates that.

[77]  See, God don’t need no interpreter. He’s His own Interpreter. He does His own interpretation by bringing to pass the things that He said would happen. Like in the beginning He said, “Let there be light!” and there was light. That doesn’t need any interpretation. It was vindicated. 

[78]  Now, He promised certain things in this last day in the Scripture. Why, there it was. That’s how Jesus was the Son of God. He promised to send Him. When He was in his days here on earth and the people couldn’t believe Him, He said, “Search the Scripture, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life; and They are They that testify of Me…

Now, you put the two together. He said, “You’re reading the Scripture, all backward.” He said, “In them, you think you have eternal life.”

Said, “How about just looking a little further.” He said, “You’ve been left behind.” See? Moses’ message won’t work. Said, “Moses, spoke of me.” See?

 …If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not. But if you can’t believe Me, believe the works that I do; because they testify Who I am.” Now, there you got it. You’ve got precept for example. 

[79]  Well then, in Wesley’s age the works that he did testified who he was. In Luther’s age on the reformation, why, sure it testified who he was. In the days of the Pentecostals, the restoring back of the gifts, the restoration of the gifts, speaking in tongues, and casting out devils, and the gifts, why it testified. There was no joke about it. 

[80]  People said when it first raised up… I read the books on the history of Pentecost. They said, “It can’t last long; it’ll burn down.” It’s still burning. Why? It’s because you’ll never put it out. God said it would be there.

It’s that portion of the Word, and no more could you put that out… And then when the Bride is being called , how you going to put her out? It’s the revelation of the manifestation of the Word made true. And we’re living in that day. Praise be to God! The revelation of the mystery of Hisself.

In other words, he said, “Look what happened in Luther’s day. You could take it, you took the Word. You saw what was there, you identified. You went to Wesley. You saw what was there, you identified. Now, you’re at Pentecost. You see it was right, you identify.”

Now, what about this? Each group felt there was no further identification. And, yet each time, there was a measure of the Word, that hadn’t been fulfilled. See?

Now It says, “We’re living in that day. Praise be to God.” The revelation of the mystery of Himself. Now, the Lord Himself, descends from heaven with a Shout. See? You’re living in the revelation of the mysteries.

[81]  Now, the rapture is only, this rapture that we’re talking about is only for the Bride. Remember, the Bible said, “And the rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years.” This great rapture… If there’s not a rapture friends, where are we at?

What are we going to do? What age are we living in? What promise do we have? There is going to be a rapture. The Bible says there will be; and it’ll be only for the Elected, the elected Lady, the Bride in this day that’s pulled out, the church. 

[82]  The very word “church” means “called out.” And as Moses called a nation out of a nation, the Holy Spirit is calling a Bride out of a church. A church out of a church, members from every denomination making up a Bride, [you get that in,] the Bride Tree [The Spoken Word, Vol. 3 No.15–Ed.].

A Bride coming out called… And that’s the one that the Bride Tree is the–the Bride, rather, is the one that’s going to be in the rapture, that alone, nothing but the Bride, the elected ones foreknown by God from the beginning, the Father’s spiritual gene.

Now, just watch everything here. We’ll come back to this later… stop here a minute. 

[83]  But notice; look! Each one of you people, do you know years before you were born you were in your father as a gene?

Now he’s illustrating, the Heavenly Father gene.

That’s right! A germ of seed was in your father, comes from the male sex, not the female. See? Female furnishes the egg, the bedding ground, but the germ come from the male… 

[84]  Now, say in my father or my son setting here. When I was sixteen years old, my son was in me. I didn’t know him, but he was there. Now, through a bedding ground, through holy wedlock, he becomes in the image of me. I know him; I can fellowship with him. And he come just at the time when it’s a right time. 

[85]  Now, so were you in… If you’ve got Eternal Life, you were in God before there ever was a world. You are a part, a son of God, an attribute of God. He knew the very age you were coming. He predestinated you to that age to take that place, and no one else can take it don’t care how many impersonations and things, you’ve got to be there, because He knew you’d be there.

Now, you are made manifest; now you can fellowship with Him, now that’s what He wants. He’s longing for fellowship, and worship. But in–if your life was not always an attribute of God, you’re just a mimic of Christianity. See? There’ll be billions and billions of them that’ll just be mimics of Christianity. 

[86]  A remark that I made just recently. I was watching Brother Demos Shakarian over there when they was having a—breeding of cattle, watched the test tubes and so forth being taken in by the doctors and watching these things.

He’s a veterinarian or someone skilled in that.

[87]  In the literal discharge of the male there’s somewhat a million germs comes forth from the male at each time. And somewhat a million eggs comes from the female…

Nobody knows the number of any, but not at the same time. The male discharge is always greater than in the female. Because it’s just one that comes down. 

…But did you know in all them little germs moving around, a million of them, [could be many, many millions.] there’s only one of them ordained to life, and there’s only one egg fertile? [And that’s of course, the one that comes down]

And that little germ will crawl right up there through everyone of them other little germs, right over the top of every little germ looking just like him, and come over the top of that and come over here and find that fertile egg and crawl into it.

And then all the rest of them die. Why, talk about the virgin birth, why, it’s not half as mysterious as a physical birth, how it’s foreordained, predestinated by God.

Now, he’s talking about human beings. Here’s where a lot of people don’t understand. Now look, when you’re talking… I’ll hit back here later 

[88]  Now, in the beginning, way back, way years ago before there was a time began, you, if you are a borned again Christian tonight, you were in God then, your Father.

And that’s why when you come into this life here and profess Christianity, everything going wrong, you’ve wondered why this is and all of this. You wondered at it.

But one day something struck you. What was it? That life that was down in there from the beginning. Right, he’s talking about you and your gene. Where you were.

[89]  My little story about the eagle finding the–his mother finding the eagle. You’ve heard me preach on that, how that little eagle was hatched under a hen.

Her habits of trying to feed them chickens, the little eagle couldn’t stomach it, because he wasn’t a chicken to begin with, yet he was in the pen with the chickens and followed the chickens.

But she’d scratch in the barnyard and things, and the little eagle couldn’t stand it. But every time she would cluck and everything, all the little chickens would go, so he’d go on to.

If you’re taught to scratch in the manure heap, you’ll scratch in the manure heap. That’s where you get your manure-head from. 

[90]  But one day his mother knew that she had laid two eggs, not one. There had to be another one somewhere. She went to hunt it. Flying around, circling, finally she come over the barnyard, and she found her baby. And she screamed to him. It was a voice that he realized that that’s the thing that fit.

Not cluck, cluck, a scream. See?

That was what he’s looking for. See? And he realized then that he wasn’t a chicken; he was an eagle. Now, this is the truth. And that’s the way with every borned again Christian.

When you come, I don’t care how many denominations you join, how many names you put your name on the books and things, when that real Word of God is vindicated and made true before you, like that, you realize you’re an eagle right there. Because all this clucking of the hen, you join this, and join this and go this way and that way, it’s nonsense. It’s a genuine adding word to Word. 

[91]  When a germ comes into the womb of a female, it don’t take on… You don’t become a human germ from your father, and then the next thing you become a germ from a dog, and the next thing from a cat, and the next thing from a chicken; it was all human germ.

And the Body of Jesus Christ, the Bride, will be part of His Body which will… He was the Word, and the Bride will have to be the Word, Word added to Word added to Word.

Luther’s Justification, Wesley’s Sanctification, Pentecostal’s Baptism with the Holy Spirit, restoration of the gifts, and all the rest of it goes with it. It’s got to be Word on top of Word, germ on top of germ, life on top of life, to bring out the full stature of the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

[92 ]  Now, you remember, you were a attribute. And now the thing of it is, after we find out these things, that Christ is coming for His Bride, now how do we get into that Bride? Now, that’s the question.

Many say, “Join our congregation.” One of them wants a certain type of baptism. One wants to do this or that or another thing. One said you must speak with tongues or you haven’t got it; the other said you don’t have to speak with tongues. This one says you must dance in the spirit.

And this says you must shout. This has got a sensation. It’s all all right, and then still it’s all wrong. How could a man that’s–or a woman, or a child of God that’s borned of the Spirit of God deny the Word of God, when God Himself interpreted it and say, “This is it. I promised it; here it is,” showing it just as plain as they can.

Why, they’re bound to see it. See? How could Christ deny His own Word? If Christ is in you, He can’t deny His own Word. They say, “How could you?”

[93]  Then how do we get into this Body? I Corinthians 12, “By one Spirit we’re all baptized into this Body,” by one Holy Spirit baptism.

And that… If you want to put that down, it’s I Corinthians 12:13: “And by one Spirit we are all baptized…” And the Spirit is the Life of Christ, the Life of Christ. And the life of any seed–which He was the Word Seed–brings the seed to life…

Now watch this. See, this is where people are mixed up. Were you seed to begin with, or do you become seed , by rebirth?

Now if you are seed, what happened? Why did you need it? Oh, you were sheep that were gone astray. You needed a sacrifice. You were separated from God.

Now watch. The life of any seed, which He was the Word seed, brings the seed to life. In other words, the seed is lying there, and it’s the life in it, that brings it up. If there’s no life in it, there’ll be nothing there. 

…You get it? If that life is laying in the seed and this baptism of the Holy Spirit comes upon it, it’s bound to bring that seed life.

Now, there’s your understanding of foreknowledge. And, predestination, and everything else, it comes by a physical source. In the beginning of the creation of God. That’s when He started with Jesus. Then He formed it into flesh.

And, He put a man and woman on earth. And, with them, they were going to bring forth children. They got into the wrong act. So, every child was born in sin. But, they are children of God.

That’s where your gene come from, your soul come from. Now people are mixed up on this, they don’t believe you’re seed… never mind, don’t bother because they are usually ‘non mentis compos’, they are not mentally capable.

I am thinking of cases right now my brother, and my sister. It would be a joke to you, but it’s not a joke to me, because I’m thinking of single cases. They get livid with rage.

Why? Because they want to be devils. They want to be hogs. They want to be dogs. And suddenly change. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You ain’t going. God doesn’t take dogs and hogs in the Rapture.

And, goats. Doesn’t take liars and whores either. Let’s get this straight. Churches are all telling lies. They are all harlots. Alright.

Now.

 …If that life is laying in the seed and this baptism of the Holy Spirit comes upon it, it’s bound to bring that seed life. 

Let’s go back to page 17 paragraph 82 again then.

[82]  …Bride, that’s going to be in the rapture of God, that alone, nothing but the Bride, the elected one foreknown by God from the beginning, the Father’s spiritual gene. 

[83]  But notice; look! Each one of you people, do you know years before you were born you were in your father as a gene?

Where does the seed come from? Natural generation. There’s a natural election, and there’s a spiritual election. But, the spirit was there ahead of time. Before there was light, He said, “Let there be light.”

Before there was one manifested son, there was the Word concerning him… All through the ages, right from Adam on down to ’til now, and there’s going to be a glorious family, that the Bride of Christ, the chosen, elected ones, that are going to be there, in that Holy City. Alright.

[94 ]  As I told you here at Phoenix, not long ago I was talking to Brother John Sharrit.

And, that’s the story of the citrus tree that was bearing lemons, and oranges, and what have you. 

And he said, “Say, what a remarkable tree.”

He said, “they are grafted in.”

He said, “Next year there’ll be oranges, on this orange tree?”

He said, “No way”, He said, “What ever that limb is, that’s the fruit it’s going to bring forth..”

Now, he’s talking about genes, and people. Methodists bring forth Methodists. Pentecost brings forth Pentecost. We don’t have a thing to do with Methodists or Pentecost.

We have a thing to do with the William Branham Message, Elijah and Malachi, Word of this hour. Christ revealed, and manifested. That’s all we know.

When anything else comes up, we just freeze, and want to engage in battle. Right on, Charlie Brown. Don’t feel bad about, it, it’s not worth fighting for. It ain’t worth believing. Pfap.

I’ll preach sometime, and show you folks something. You already know it’s there, but, you’re just a little bit careless, you don’t see it. Not about this, something else. 

[97]  Ah, if that tree ever puts out a original branch, it’ll bring forth oranges. Then if God ever does anything in the church, it’ll be original back with the Word again exactly.

So every time God moves, every fresh here, it’s fresh oranges. He doesn’t bring forth lemons. Huh? And, tangelos, and grapefruit. So, we’re not lemons. We’re oranges. You know what? That’s pretty good.

Because you know, in the Bible, apple is the golden pitchers of silver in the Hindu really it is oranges after a kind. Ha ha ha. Brother Branham didn’t know that. That guy was fantastic.

He was fantastic, because God worked through the man, there wasn’t anything out of cater in his Messages. Tremendous. Not the man himself, forget it.

If God put you in a straight jacket, you’d do something too. Better start doing it, without a straight jacket. Hear ye, hear ye. Over in the little church over here, in this little town we are in. On the Evan’s ranchero. Alright.

[98]  Now, when we find out… Now, that–that big church has moved down through the ages bearing its fruit, and as the limbs quit they prune them off. In St. John 15… Never pruned the vine out now, He took the branches off, cut them out, because they weren’t bearing any fruit. 

[99]  Jesus wants fruit for Hisself. His wife must bring forth the kind of a children that He is. That’s Word children. Then if they don’t bring forth children, Bride children, Word children, then it’s a denominational child. Then her first love for the world and denomination, she’s gone back to that.

She leaves the Word. In the day John saw the Ephesian Church, lost your first love. See? 

They can’t bring forth a real, genuine, borned again Christian, ‘cause there’s nothing there to bring it to life. There’s nothing there to bring it forth. 

[100]  Just like, you take a lemon branch and stick it in there; it’ll bring a lemon, but it can’t bring a orange, because it wasn’t there at the beginning. But it was ordained at the beginning, and, the foreknowledge of God predestinated it, and born, it has to bring forth an orange; it can’t bring nothing else.

Now, you see, that explains the men and women that are foreordained to this hour. Man, I wish I knew my Bible. Which I don’t. I’m going to have a terrible job, trying to find this… It’s got to be in Peter, because I’m not that smart…

That’s one of them alright. Before men crept in that were foreordained, before of old, ordained to this condemnation. Now that word ’ordained’ is not foreordained, as we know foreordination, it’s spoken of. See, spoken of.

In other words, things were set in motion, then, when the perversion started, this became spoken of. Showing where it would go. Never were in the Word, never will be. That was kind of tricky, what I said, wasn’t it? Don’t worry, I might even be wrong. Don’t pay too much attention to it.

But, I think I’m right. I think I’m right on that. See, lots of things were spoken from the basis of that which previously been said.

And, because it goes off, then you predicate instantly, which becomes a prophecy. Something is going to happen which is drastic. That’s what this is. See? I hope you caught that. Alright.

 …But it was ordained at the beginning, the foreknowledge of God predestinated it, and born, [See? It’s got to be predestinated, and born.] it has to bring forth an orange; it can’t bring anything else. 

[101 ]  That’s the way with the church of the Living God is. When the hour comes, everybody… You let God start to do something, (Now he cut’s it off, he goes back to this). You let God start to do something, everybody’s got the ball and gone. See? It’s always been that way. I was reading in history of Martin Luther here not long ago.

It said that it wasn’t so hard to believe that Martin Luther could protest the Catholic church and get by with it; but said the strange thing, that he could hold his head above all the fanaticism that followed his revival and still stay straight on his justification. See? It’s everything, impersonations and everything falling…

See, the man went to him one day, he tried to insist that Martin Luther was God, or something. …And, the man said that he had this spirit on him, that let him know who Martin Luther was. Then Martin Luther said, “My spirit smacks your spirit on the nose.”

And, he got so mad, he went off and left. I like men like that. People think you’re not a Christian to talk that way. Why did Jesus say to Peter, “Get thee behind me, Satan.”

I think that’s pretty rude for a man of His stature, to say something like that, that’s rotten. Because, it’s the truth. He wasn’t hitting at Peter; He was hitting at the devil. 

[102]  Look at Mrs. McPherson, Aimee Semple McPherson, that had this temple over here. Every lady preacher had them wings and packed the Bible the same way, [Oh boy, the white wheee, here we come, she was a doozey]... carnal impersonations.

They can’t be original. That’s the way the churches can’t be. You let one church get something or other in a city, the other church can’t stand it till they get it. See? They’re not original anymore. God’s Word is original.

He’s letting them know, I’m not going to preach what you people are preaching. I’m not going to teach, the way you are teaching. It’s getting them ready for the Rapture.

The doctrine. Oh my, oh my, oh my. Now, I’m going to sit here and tell you something.

Out of the several hundred people there, I’m going to make a bet right now, and I will be corrected by God Himself at the judgement, if He could even get me before then.

I was the only one that sat there, in that whole meeting, with that attitude in my mind, that said, “He never was wrong, this is right.” Opened my mind, to receive.

You say, “You believed, and nobody else did?” Not, quite the way I did. I’m not saying they’re weren’t people sitting there saying, “Well hey, just a minute now, if you say so, that’s it.”

That’s very true. You can do it that way. But, do you know what you’re doing? Do you understand what it is? You say, “Well I can take that.” Can you take the next thing he said?

Because, listen I’m going to take you back, and most of the people that are off beat right now, have done despite to this Message of grace, never did know, never will understand. What? Predestination.

How many people, began to understand Brother Branham in the light of his own understanding of predestination? Hardly anybody.

Because, he looked down and said, “You Pentecostals, you can’t stand the word ‘predestination’, so I’ll tell you, I’ll use the word ‘foreordination’.”

They said, “Oh, goody goody gumdrops.” This is a pen, that’s an organ. Oh, wonderful, wonderful.” Try a …?… and find out.

Now listen, how stupid. How willingly ignorant, can you get, for a prophet to say, I will call it ‘foreknown’? And, he knew what they’d do with it.

They turned it down, flatter than a fritter. Because, it means well God simply knew, what was going to happen, but God had nothing to do with it. Now why: “Jacob have I chosen, and Esau have I hated.”

I loved one, and hated the other. Well you see, they don’t want to make God, definitive. Well God is definitive. Okay. 

…God’s Word is original. It’s the Word, and It has to bring forth Its–Its kind in It’s season, elected, predestinated by the Father God…

What is its kind today? There’s going to be a group standing here, that doesn’t die. The Word, couldn’t do that before. Therefore, it takes an original Message. And, let me tell you how original this Message is.

I’m not trying to preach Brother Branham’s sermon, I’m trying to help you, as I go along here.

Things come to my mind, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it, hath never come into existence, been manifested, what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, He shall be made absolutely manifested, as to who He is, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”

Never was a group of people, ever changed at one time, and taken off of this earth, with the rest of them Never was. It’s going to take a Word, in its season.

Then it’s going to be a different message. You tell that to the church. Oh, they say, “Come on. It’s always been here.”

Oh, but not the way you understood it. So you see, you don’t have the Message. I don’t care if you do got the Bible. I don’t care if you’ve got the Bible, or anything else. You haven’t got it, because, that’s not it.

You avoided what you were looking for. You’ve got to be dead on. See? That’s what’s wrong with the two soul doctrine. They misunderstood completely, what Brother Branham said the soul being the nature of the spirit.

So now, the bullet’s a million miles off track. Oh, they say, “We’ll correct it.” Fsswp. Bring it down. No. You bring it all the way back, and the bullet hasn’t even been fired now.

You start thinking all over again, without one thought of what you had before. These people make me laugh, the head honcho, they have there now, he quotes the Church Age Book.

Who knows the Church Age Book better than Lee Vayle, and Brother Branham? Because, I wrote it from what he taught me.

Nobody knew the things in there, except Lee Vayle. I’ll just challenge you. Anybody says, he’s a liar. Because the Lamb’s Book of Life, is pretty tricky right now, and I knew more than anybody outside of Brother Branham, at that time.

And, I know a whole lot more at this point but I-I still need to know a lot more perhaps. But, all I need is what I’ve got. Because, I understand the basic doctrine.

To understand the basic doctrine, is to understand the plan. And, to see life come forth, which it came forth in God. To see the intrusion. To see life keep going on. To see God moving. And, you fiddle with it, you’re out. I don’t care what anybody says. It’s really not too hard.

Once you begin to see. It only took me about two weeks, but a couple of hours a day, to get that one. I don’t know, they tell me now, the quotes are going around the world. That Lee Vayle, he’s.. a.. he’s intellectual.

How come they’re reading the Church Age Book if I’m intellectual? I betrayed Brother Branham. Well, it’s alright. Say, when they do this, look up your redemption draweth nigh.

Didn’t say ‘their’, said, ‘mine did.’ Sorry about that. You say, “You’re pretty snide.” Never said I wasn’t. Okay. 

[103]  Now, how do we get into this church? True church, that is. By one Spirit we’re baptized into this one Body, Body of Christ.

The Word, she’s got to be Word. Got to be, she can’t be creed and dogma. She can’t be yesterday’s manna.

[104]  Now, let’s notice whether we’re in the last age or not. See. we find out if we turn back in Genesis, about the, oh, about the 5th chapter–you can also turn to Luke–and find out that Enoch was the seventh from Noah.

[Okay,] Enoch… There catches the serpent’s seed, for if Cain was Abel’s son, then he was the eighth. You see? Nowhere in the Bible it said that Cain was Abel’s son–or Cain–or Cain was Adam’s son [rather], because that the Bible said he was of that evil one. And Adam wasn’t the evil one. See? Cain was of the evil one. That would be Satan. 

[105]  Now, we find here that Enoch was the seventh from Noah which was a type of the Church Ages. Now, all of the rest of the six men before him died, Enoch was translated, Enoch was raptured, the seventh, showing that it’s the Seventh Church Age that takes the rapture. Now, there’s no doubt we’re in the Seventh Church Age. We all know it. But they really don’t know it, do they? They are guessing at it.

[106]  Now, it’s the Seventh Church Age that takes the rapture. All of the other six died. But Enoch was translated because he was not found; that’s a hint right there, you’ll be missing, you won’t be found. God took him.

But Enoch raptured, was a type of all of the rest of them dying, but the–the end time Bride will be called out ( rapturing, without death)–will be called out of the Seventh Church Age. Which we are now bearing record of that age. Oh, my. Let’s dig in now real deep. 

[107]  Now, here also a type of the Seven Church Ages, which in Revelation 10:7.

Now, here also a type of the Seven Church Ages, which is Revelation 10:7 when the Seventh Angel begins to sound, the mystery shall be finished, as God declares the good news of His gospel, to His prophet, and right down the line, Okay. 

 …that the great mystery of the Book was to be unfolded by the seventh angel’s Message. 

Now, why does he say that? Because, if every mystery, it’s all revealed, then the thunders are revealed by that man, at that time. Now, you don’t have to stretch your imagination, to believe that. See?

[108]  Now, there’s a Messenger above always, and a messenger on earth.

Did you get that? Counterpart, there’s one up there, like the seven spirits. Seven horns. Seven horns up there, seven churches down here. Seven spirits up there, seven messengers down here. Alright.

Now there’s a messenger above always, it’s in your book as ’all these’ You’ll find on the tape it says ‘always’, at least that is what I hear. Or it could be above ‘all these,’ doesn’t matter. And, a messenger, on earth. 

[Now], The word angel means “a messenger.” in English. And in the seventh angel’s Message, while he was making his–proclaiming his ministry, then when he begin to sound forth his ministry, not when he started out… Jesus when He started out, He started healing the sick and afflicted.

“And oh, that great Rabbi, He’s a prophet!” And everybody wanted Him in his church, He set down one day and said, “I and My Father are One,” that was different. That was different. That was different. “And except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His Blood, you have no life in you.” “Why, he’s a vampire.” See.

See? That was different. He didn’t explain it. They’d already seen the manifestation, the a-vindication of the Word of God for His age made real and proved to them that He was that Messenger of that age. And He didn’t have to explain nothing.

Now remember, he said there was a messenger on earth and One above. What came down? Mighty Messenger from above came down to Brother Branham on earth. He said, “Okay now, this one here, God was is human flesh.” Didn’t explain a thing. 

[109]  Now, Those disciples might not have been able to explain it, but they believed it whether they could explain it or not. They set right still and believed it. How could they tell if they was going to eat His flesh and drink His Blood?

Why, it was impossible for them to do it, but they believed it, because they were ordained. Jesus said He chose them before the foundation of the world. See? They believed it. Whether they could explain it or not, they still believed it. 

[110 ]  Now, watch! Now, in the Seventh Church Age when the seventh messenger begins to sound, the mysteries of God was to be made known right there. The Seals that’s reformers… Hadn’t been they had time… Luther didn’t live long enough, neither did Wesley,

He said, “What if they’d lived longer?” They couldn’t. Couple of hundred years in between there. Bride wasn’t in. Time hadn’t run out.

Now, if they could’ve, they just kept moving up, here’s old Grand daddy Luther. Nah, you got to die. No way. Grand daddy Wesley, no way. Grand daddy Pentecostals, no way. Na ah, the original bunch has moved on, brother/ sister.

Pentecost started in 1906. He realized that, seventy-five, seventy-seven years. Not too many people live past seventy-seven. Seventy-seven years. Connotation, forget it. Now, I don’t want to talk about that. They believed it. 

 …They didn’t live long enough. Those reformers, they had their message of that day, and the people grasped it and denominated it. And what is it? 

[111]  You can never beat nature. Nature always testifies. God runs in continuity with nature. It has to. Like the sun, the sun rises in the morning; it’s a little baby born. It’s weak, hasn’t got much heat to it. Ten o’clock, it’s coming out of high school.

The middle of the day, it’s entering into life. Three o’clock in the afternoon, it’s getting old. Five o’clock, it’s dying, old and weak again, going back to the grave. Is that the end of it? It rises again the next morning. See? 

[112]  Look at the trees how they put forth their leaves, everything that they do. Now, the leaves drop off the tree, go back. The… What? The life goes down to the root of the tree. Is that the end of it? Comes back next spring with new life. Same life, just in the manifestation.

[113]  Now, watch the true churches, how it’s done the same thing in the reformation.

See, it’s the same life coming up, but it’s a new leaf. It’s the same life coming up each year, that gives you new oranges. It’s the same life coming up through the stalk, that gives you Christians. Then finally one, day there’s a bunch that don’t die. That’s just like the plant. See? Now, watch the churches. See.

…how it’s done the same thing in the reformation. It come up. That corn of wheat fell in the ground and died under the Dark Age persecution. It went into the ground. It had to die. Any man spiritual can see that. Unless that seed dies and rots, it abides alone.

And it had to go into the ground in the Dark Ages. It laid there, rotted, and come forth in two little blades of the Lutheran church. Like Zwingli and so forth. Come on up into the tassel, John Wesley, the great missionary age. It dropped back. Out of there come that deceiving age, that Pentecostal age…

Pentecostals didn’t like that, because they think they have arrived. Oh, they are the big shots, you know. Even got Holy Fathers, Hallelujah. 

[114]  Anybody here ever raise any wheat? You look at that wheat. When you look at it… You say “I’ve got wheat.” You look like you got a wheat there; open it up real close and watch, you haven’t got no wheat at all. You got a shuck.

Didn’t Jesus warn us that in Matthew 24:22–24, in the last days the spirits would be so close together it would deceive all but the Very elect… Now, watch, it’s a carrier.

It’s a carrier. Watch, the life has gone out of it. See, Pentecost came out of Wesley. Now they say, “We came out.” There’s nothing coming out of us, because, we’re it. Well, I would beg to differ. Man, they look like a side show right now. 

[115]  Now, the Life that come up through Luther was what made Wesley. The Life that come out of Wesley made Pentecost. The Life that comes out of Pentecost makes the wheat. [So, but] they are a carrier. See?

Now in their day, they weren’t carriers, they were the real thing. Today, they’re carriers. That’s why you’ve got foolish virgin. See?

The real Life goes through there. The Message goes through, but it’s heading on up into the wheat. That’s the reason the wheat come up and brings the whole thing in the rapture up here at the top. The Bride itself comes out of each age, but the denominational stock dies, dries up and dies.

[116]  Have you noticed this last days how it’s begin to pull away now? When that wheat begins to grow, then the–the shuck begins to get away from it. [They pulled away from Brother Branham.] Look back in that little wheat when you look at it. Pull it open like this and look into it and see; you got a little bud of wheat back there.

You’d have to take a thirty power scope to look into it to see the little bud of wheat back there. See? But it’s way back in there, but it starts growing. Now, that shuck has to be there to shelter that to give it a chance to get out. Yep. But then when it begins to grow and the Message begins to spread, then the shuck pulls away from it. 

 It’s got to, because you see, it’s the Word, Catholics pulled away from Luther, Luther pulled away from Wesley, Wesley pulled away from Pentecost, and Pentecost pulled away from us. Now, come on. That’s it.

…And the life goes right out of that shuck right into the wheat. Goes on. That’s the way each age does. It just–it just can’t beat nature; That’s God’s continuity, the way He does things. And now, that’s the age that we’re living in right now, the Seventh Church Age. 

[117]  Now, it’s all to be manifested in the grain of wheat at the end. Another come back… Now, if you take Luke the 17th chapter and the 30th verse, “As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man begins to reveal Himself.”

What is reveal? Make His revelation of what He is in this day, revealed out to the people, the Word that’s made known for the day, revealed to the people by the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, making that Jesus live among us.

Now he tells you that, that same spirit that was in Him at that day, when He was in flesh, is here now, does the same things. Now remember, justification gives way to sanctification, sanctification gives way to the baptism with the Holy Ghost.

And, the baptism with the Holy Ghost gives way to what? To the Holy Ghost Himself. Because you’re coming up, remember, every single thing came from the head starting with the feet. Is that right?

Then when everything is poured in, there is nothing left but the head. Is that right? Then He comes down, sets Himself as head of the Church, in order to raise the dead. Is that right? There you are. Nothing to it. Why can’t they see it? Because, they don’t want to see it.

They won’t let their thinking go. Don’t you think for years I grappled, with the Holy Spirit coming more and more into the Church, and a Word in every age?

But, I went right to my Bible, and, found, as close as I could, where there was an allotment for every age. I found it over here, at least I think I did, to the best of my knowledge… I don’t know if I can find it now… Okay. 

[118]  And remember, He was represented there in a Man, a Man. He said, “As it was.” Now, He read the same Bible we read, Genesis. [Talking about Abraham see, not Jesus.] Now, we notice in that Genesis chapter there when Jesus was speaking about it… We find there that in that with His back turned to that tent, and Sarah in the tent, He said–He asked a question.

And she didn’t believe what was going to happen could happen. He said, “Now, Abraham, I’m going to visit you according to the time of life,” see? And Sarah in the tent laughed about it. He said, “Why did Sarah laugh in the tent, saying, ‘How can these things be?’” Jesus promised, and that was Him; Abraham called Him, Elohim, the Almighty. That was Him. 

[119]  Now, the Bible predicts that it will return again in the last day. Jesus said so. Now when you see these things begin to come to pass, just remember, when this starts to taking place like that, then it’s–you know that the time is nigh at the door.

Now, you see what the Church is doing, and we’re prone to do, is to take history, more than we take the Word. You say, “What do you mean?”

I’ll tell you what I mean. As it was in the days of Noah, terrible things. “Oh yeah.” Sodom and Gomorrah, oh yeah, terrible, terrible. “Oh yes, terrible, terrible.”

What about Him that’s present? That’s when he told me. Don’t look at what’s out there. Never mind. What is for you? And of course, like a real fine son, I ignore Him. Huh?

Well, that’s alright. We’re in the same boat. We better stop doing it. See? Never mind the history. Listen. That’s dead manna. In fact, it’s not even manna at all.

When you talk about the history, of Sodom and Gomorrah, that tells you what happens when people leave the manna. And, they do despite to the Spirit of Grace.

We don’t need that. We need to look at Him. Look at what’s being fulfilled. What’s going on now! See? That’s why my life is dedicated, as much as it’s dedicated, which is really, fiddle-dee-diddle.

I want to know what’s going on. If I know what’s going on, at least I feel I do, if something happens, I like to tell the people. Happened to me in my thinking. Alright. 

Now, the Bible predicts that it will return again in the last day. Jesus said so… When this starts to taking place like that–you know it’s nigh at the door. 

[120]  Look at the world itself. Look at the world, Sodom if there ever was a Sodom. Look at the people, perverted in such a perverting. Their minds are perverted. They don’t know what common decency is. Look at the outlaws, homosexuals, and everything else…

You know you’ve got incest to the place, where now, they’ve got a group of influential terribly rich men, who had formed a group, that they want incest in the homes. And they say, if there’s no sex before eight, then it’s too late.

So folks, you’re looking at something pretty, pretty, pretty rotten. And, don’t tell me the big shots aren’t doing it. No, come on. It’s got to the place, where, Lord get us out of here, or, Lord, give us the power to take the earth over, and we’ll get rid of it.

Then we’d have to get rid of ourselves, because, we’re not very nice. I’ll just let Him do it, and work it out. Also, hang onto grace, and let God do it, that’s real grace, right there. 

[121]  Look at our men; they hang… Instead of the Word of God, some little tradition of a denomination they hang onto it instead of coming out when they see God make Himself known perfectly. That’s the hour. The reason, they’re blind, and can’t see it. They never will see it. That’ll take care of that. 

Now, watch what takes place here in this, while we hurry. I think that lady wants us to leave; and so on.

[122]  So now, notice Enoch, the type of the church. Here he’s also typed in the Seventh Church Age. Can you think of that? 

In other words, would that stagger you, that Noah is the Seventh Church Age? Have you let your thinking go?

[123]  How many believes there’s been seven messengers for the seven ages? Oh, we all believe that if we believe the Bible. Of course, some don’t believe that.

See? They believe it’s already took place. If we don’t believe the Bible, ‘course (see?) we don’t believe it… 

[124]  Now, we’re living in the Seventh Church Age. And when the Bible said that this Seventh Church Age… When the messenger of the Seventh Church Age begins to sound his Message, that the mysteries of all the things that’s been twisted up down through the age would be revealed in that time. And here we see it, the Son of man coming among His people and doing just exactly, confirming His Message as He said He would do…

Now remember you cannot see the Son of man outside of a prophet. Abraham was a prophet, so he could see. And, God was only dealing with the prophet at that time and his wife.

Now, they were able at that time to see God manifested. You say, “Sarah saw Him?” I believe she did, but, she did not recognize Him, Abraham did. Or, she wouldn’t have laughed.

In other words, the Bride doesn’t recognize, but the prophet does, and the prophet tells it. And, because, we’re a part of Him, and that Word, then we’re going to believe all what he said. Jesus said, “No man has seen the Father, at any time.”

You’re looking at Him now, you’re seeing me. You saw yourself, William Branham bringing us the Word. We weren’t looking at a man, we were looking at God. Why? God in a form of a man. Because he brought the Word.

You can stretch that too far. But, most of them don’t stretch it far enough. We were not looking at a man. Nor, was I ever looking for man. I was always looking for God in his meetings. God, confirming His Message.

[125]  Now… And the seven watches, like the seven watches, one come… He didn’t come the first watch, second, third, fourth, but come in the seventh watch. That was Enoch, the seventh, translated, and Noah, being a type of the remnant of the Jews, is to be carried over. 

[126]  Now, in the Bible times–talking about the watches–and nights were not divided into hours in the Bible time. No, the Bible was divided in watches.

[127]  There was three watches. Now, the first watch started at–from 9:00 until 12:00; the second 12:00 to 3:00, and the third 3:00 to 6:00. Now, we got three, three three’s, that’s nine, imperfect number. Then we come back to the seven for the rapture, which will take place I believe between 6:00 and 9:00 o’clock some morning.

Say, “How do you know?” He said, he believed it. If he believed it, I’ll believe it too. Now, with that preamble, he brought the doctrine.

The doctrine was this: The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a Shout with the Voice of the archangel, with the Trump of God. How many believed it?

For you say, “They all believed it.” So, how did they believe it? Well, very simple. The way we all do.

We simply take what’s in our minds, and, then what He said, we follow with what’s already in our minds, and adapt everything conveniently. From what was in our minds, and we miss it. 

Now remember that the Presence was known before Brother Branham left the scene.

And, he wasn’t gone hardly anytime cold, when people were preaching the Presence, that He’s already here, the resurrection is over, ‘The Rapture’ has taken place, we’re in the Tribulation.

And, some teach it right now. They will tell you, it’s over. They have missed the understanding, of the prophet. They forgot to read ‘The Rapture’, where he said, “The Lord Himself, does all three in descending.” Jesus does all three.

And, He is responsible for the Message. But, William Branham says, “My Message.” I was just the voice of one standing there, when He appeared. He said, “It wasn’t mine, but, was His, because, It’s identified.”

So now, what you do with everything. And, the only thing we can do from this hour on, and we may be a whole lot further from the Rapture than we think, and a whole lot closer, because now we’re getting warmed up.

Maybe it just takes one revelation, to bring all the revelations into proper agreement, and understanding. But, from this point on, we have got to know this, there cannot be one denominational thought in our minds, amongst us.

We’ve got to be like the Apostle Paul, “Who are you anyway?” I’m Jesus. He said, “Blew-ee, there goes everything. My God, there goes everything. Everything. Everything is gone.”

He said, “That’s right, everything’s gone, now, we can get somewhere.” See? Now it’s difficult for some to do that. It’s difficult for all of us, to do that. Be honest, we’re here to be honest.

It’s difficult, but, it’s no big deal because we have the Holy Spirit. See? It’s not that you’re left on your own. If you were left on your own, to figure it. We’re not on our own, anymore. It’s done been figured. You don’t have to understand everything, just say “Yes” to everything.

Wait, and see what happens. Be of good cheer. God’s just not saved the Apostle Paul, and made the entire body. And then, He did not say take one more man, and say, “I’ll split the body into its share in William Branham.”

Because, the same Pillar of Fire that brought the Word to Paul, is here revealing the Word. He didn’t make it out of two. It’s necessary to have a beginning and an ending.

We have a foundation ministry, and, a capstone ministry, and we find it’s all God. And, it all came down from the Head. So there’s nothing left but the Head. So, what happens? The flange has been set up.

The ministry’s so perfect, indicating, vindicated, comes right down. We say, “Hallelujah.” Now we’re ready to go. Pretty soon, not quite. Pretty soon, let it run its course. Last one child trained, it’s all over.

So, there you are. I hope you understand a little better now. If you don’t, well that’s alright, you wouldn’t be the first one. I’m counting on you understanding better.

From now on, getting your own thinking out of the way. All of us, getting our thinking out of the way. Depending on what the prophet said with the Holy Spirit helping us get everything out of the way.

You know, we’re a little bit, like they used to say years ago, about being full of the Holy Ghost back in the old Pentecostal Conference days, and they say, “Now how do you really get full of the Holy Ghost?”

Well it’s very simple, it’s like a bottle. We’ll now take a bottle and fill it full of pebbles, now we’ll pour in water. Now there’s just as much Holy Ghost in there, as there is water. But you start…
