Revelation of the Rapture #03

Transcript in progress.

Audio is available now.

Let’s pray shall we.

Heavenly Father, we’re very grateful again, to be allowed the opportunity of coming together to study your Word Lord, to know that which is surely revealed to us, in this day, this hour Lord, for this is a portion of the manna, the saint’s food.

And, we are grateful for it, and it certainly is not something which is untimely, nor is it something that we do not love, but, we love your Word, Lord.

And, we love Him who gave that Word, so that now He Himself is here, and we’re very grateful for it.

Help us in the study tonight, and may Your Name be glorified, may we be built up and edified, as we’re supposed to be, thoroughly corrected and blessed, and on our way back home.

In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now, I want to go to The Rapture tape, and we’ll get to the book here. To begin with, first of all, page14 and paragraph 65 and he said:

The Rapture

[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, also I just might read on page 28, paragraph 133,4 and 137.

[133]  Now, remember, the Message is promised. And when all these mysteries has been all so bundled up by the bunch of ecclesiastics, it will take a–a direct prophet from God to reveal it. And that’s exactly what He promised to do…

[134]  Now, remember, the Word of the Lord comes to the prophet, not the theologian, the prophet. He is a reflector of God’s Word. He can’t say nothing; he can’t say his own thoughts; he can only speak what God reveals. Even to the prophet Balaam when he was tried to sell his (birth) right; he said, “How can any prophet say anything but what God puts in his mouth?” It’s a thing that God does that you can’t say nothing else. And you’re born that way.

[137]  Now, if a prophecy goes forth, two or three have to set and judge whether that’s right or not before the church can receive it. But nobody’s set before a prophet, ‘cause he was–he was absolutely the Word of God. He was that Word in his age. He saw God reflect…

Now, what we’re looking at here, is first of all that he mentions in the first quote”

[65]  But to the Church, the Bride, the rapture is a revelation to her.” It is revealed to her, that the revelation of Christ, would be revealed to her, the true Bride of Christ in the revelation of the Rapture.”

It doesn’t sound like too good English, but don’t worry about it. I might read a bit further.

[65]  …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 so…

Now, did you hear what he said there. “Abraham, that could call anything contrary to what had been revealed to him as though it wasn’t so.” In other words, everything previous, was set aside. We’ll get to that later in Scripture.

… Now, faith… That’s what faith is, is the revelation of God. The church is built upon a revelation, the entire body.

[67]  Here a few weeks ago I was talking to a fine Baptist minister. He came to discuss with me. He said, “I like you as a man, but,” said, “you’re all mixed up.” I said, “Then I pray you straighten me out with the Scripture.” 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 in the Nicene Council, way back as far as that, three hundred years from the death of Christ, they were still debating which Greek scholar was right. It’s a revelation. The whole thing is…” He said, “I cannot accept revelation.” I said, “Then how can you accept Christ?”

Now, what we’re looking at here, repeating from last Wednesday, that the Rapture, the doctrine of the Rapture is definitely a revelation.

And, Brother Branham, very carefully lays it out, when he says a prophet can speak nothing except the exact Words of God. He hasn’t got his own thought.

And, what he’s saying here, I brought to your attention, he spoke and said, “You’ve got to let your own thinking go.” Now, that’s what’s basically wrong with everybody that listens to Brother Branham.

And, I found out many years ago, even before he died, that I wasn’t understanding what he said, because, I was constantly interpreting, evaluating, and judging everything by what I’d previously been taught. And, I found that, it won’t work.

Now, Paul the Apostle, tells us that, he received a revelation.

Now, let’s just see what happened to him in,

Now, if he had not had a revelation, he wouldn’t be able to appraise what he formerly believed, therefore was a part of, and participated in, as dung.

Now, you’ve been taken off the dung hill, because you have got dung heads. Hi, manure-heads. If you can’t see that, you’re gone. You’re gone, you never will understand this Message. I don’t care who you are. Because you’ll be like all the rest of the guys with a bit of vindication.

“Well Brother Vayle, the prophet had great visions, but you know, I had some too.”

Well drop dead. Take your visions with you. I’ve had visions, I’ve had prophecies come right to pass, like, few men have had.

I was foolish enough to break into the realm of discernment, and stand there said, “Bring your Catholic priest,” Kind of made Dave chuckle, and Joe chuckle.

And, I said, “Bring your Pentecostals.” Junior, had a ball over that. And, I had enough moxie, chutzpah, to stand there and challenge them. And, I could do it. And I still had a manure-head.

I’m going to tell you something, brother/sister. If you’re going to be a prince with God, you not only come off the dung heap, but you get rid of your manure-head. Because, that’s what Paul’s telling you.

Oh, you say, “No, Paul,” Hold it!! How could Paul do anything, unless his mind went to another channel, unless he was insane, and the devil controlled him. Huh? Well come on.

Come on, I want to ask you a question. Maybe some of you still have that old manure pile back there. You ain’t got cataracts brother/sister. You got manure piles. Not you, of course. Heaven forbid. He he… if we were the nicest people in all the world, it’d be a mighty small world, ha ha ha ha.

Yeah, let’s go to [1 Corinthians] you want something nicer. We’ll leave old Paul here, we’ll get him off the manure heap. Job off the ash heap. The prodigal son out of the pig parlour. Look over here at Paul.

How are you going to know Him? You’ve got to have the Spirit of God to show you. Paul says in that second chapter.

Okay. Let’s go to Galatians. Paul says in here;

Okay, now he says here, that he didn’t confer with flesh and blood. Verse sixteen, verse fifteen.

I didn’t go up and listen to somebody. What did he do? He went to the desert for about three years, and there he heard everything he needed to know from God.

Let’s go to 1 Corinthians 14: Now, watch this man, and here’s what he said to those.

And, the same man said, “God is going to judge the world, by my gospel.” Brother Branham`s vision, lined with Paul’s. Because, if Paul was a phony, then William Branham was a phony. We got two phonies.

Beyond the curtain of time, they told him… this voice said to him, “He’s going to come to you, and judge you, according to what you taught.” Why, he said, “I taught, what Paul taught.” And, the people screamed, “We’re resting on that.”

As Brother Branham said, “The prophet can say nothing, except either good or evil, except, God puts it in his mouth.” See? Now, Paul’s thinking was changed.

Now listen, repentance means, a change of mind, or a change of thinking. A change of understanding, and consequently, with the change of understanding, comes a change of emphasis.

Now, what’s being emphatic in this hour? Everything, but the Presence. Everything, but the Presence. The emphasis has to be upon Him, or it is a wrong revelation.

I don’t know that anybody, tried more desperately to obey God, than William Branham. And yet, when the messenger came to him, and gave him the vision, and said, “You have made a side show of this ministry.”

And, as far as I know, he did everything he could to be right with the ministry. What happened? Too much pre-eminence got put upon the prophet.

Now, I think some people just say, “Hey you better just watch out.” Because, you see nobody wants to give him the right pre-eminence.

Listen, when you go beyond the pre-eminence that God gave him, you are slandering God. You’re lifting yourself up above God.

It’s good enough he tells us what the voice spoke to him, the Pillar of Fire, John the Baptist, foreran the first coming of Christ, so your Message, shall forerun the Second Coming. See?

And, remember, it was in the descent of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Message comes forth. Are people still looking for a Message? Ha. I thought the prophet said, we have everything to put us in a Rapture. That means, to get us to the place where, the dead can come out of the ground.

And, we can be changed. That’s what this Message gave us. Now, if it didn’t ‘give us’, William Branham still has a dung head. And, he ain’t going to heaven.

Now, let’s put these people on the spot, that say they believe a prophet. You’ll see if they’re phony three dollar bills, or they ring up the cash register. I see we don’t fool anymore with the Word of God.

Now listen, one Word off, voids the entire promise of Almighty God. Now this is the hour, Brother Branham, said, “The Bride was looking for the revelation of the Rapture.”

Now, why did he say that? I’ll tell you why. If anybody has one ounce of brains, and I mean, ‘one ounce of brains,’ I’ll even go further than that, if they’ve got ‘one, hundredth, ounce of brains.’ Spiritually speaking.

Now, back many years ago, when I used to listen to all these guys on the radio, which heaven forbid, I should waste my time now. But back there, was old Charlie Fuller, who was a good ole boy.

Now Charlie Fuller, was just about as good at walking a tight rope and a fence, as anyone could ever walk. Because, he could tell you everything, and end up by telling you nothing.

And, month after month he kept us spellbound, whether he was pulling tricks out of a bag, or just what he had in mind, I don’t know.

But I heard enough of Charlie Fuller he’s a great preacher and all, but I don’t admire him, or men like him too much. And I look back on their careers, and begin to deal like, what he was dealing with. It was always the same story.

Now I’m going to let you know exactly, if there’s a pre-tribulation Rapture, or a post tribulation Rapture. And, we ended up never really knowing. That’s exactly right, because you couldn’t know.

Was Sperry Lewis Chafer right? Post tribulation. Were men like Charles Fuller right? Pre-tribulation Rapture. Why some were even pre-millennialists, and some were post millennial. Take your pick.

If you don’t like the red balloon, bless God, we’ll give you a brown balloon, or a green balloon. They’re all full of hot air. Take your pick, what colour do you want? He couldn’t tell.

Now, the controversy has not only raged, as to whether there is a pre-tribulation, post tribulation, pre-millennial, or post millennial. And, who gives a rip, so to speak.

But, it also raged, over the understanding, that there was an appearing, which was secret, which involved the Rapture, and there was a Coming which was physical, that involved the person, and everybody would see Him.

And that’s been raging and raging and raging. And somebody said, “Well, you see, the Bride doesn’t need a revelation. Hogwash, she doesn’t need a revelation.

He said, the ecclesiastical, are so gommed up, so scrupled up, so crudded up, so manure-headed. Ever walk in a barnyard? I hope you have, if you haven’t, you’ve missed a real treat.

Manure piled up there, and a great big rain storm come, and, you walk in manure, and manure juice.

Ah, you say, “Brother Vayle, you’re crude.” I am not crude, what would you sooner talk about, vomit? What would you sooner do?

Listen to Lee Vayle, saying, “Pitter patter in the cow juice?” And, the pig juice? Or, would you sooner sit at a table with vomit?

I’ll.. I’ll tell you what. I have walked in manure. And, I floated my brains in it. Give me that, instead of puke, any day, or vomit, any day.

The Bible is tougher than I am. Far tougher. Every table is full of vomit. Now, he said the Bride has been looking for a revelation. Because, the argument is pro and con and mighty discouraging. Because, I have been on both sides of the fence. I know what I’m talking about.

And, I’ll tell you what I came up with. I came up with Dr. Bosworth. That the Scripture, unbiased, uninterpreted, lying out there flat, or laying out there flat, how you want to put it, laid out there.

I would have to throw my lot with the saints going through the tribulation, than missing it. Because, I made my studies.

I would say the preponderance of evidence, from the amount of Scripture, and from association of other Scripture, when you analyse, premises, and trends. The saints, never miss anything, they go through it.

And, how you bear, is by the inner power and consolation of God, if you can walk through it. That there is a way of escape. And that is, God giving you strength, to bear it. So, the Bride, was and is in a dilemma.

So, what do you do? You listen to the prophet. Now, let’s go a little further. Nobody, but nobody, but nobody, but nobody, but nobody, but nobody, but nobody, ever came up with a Shout, the Voice, and the Trumpet, being a Message, the Resurrection, and, the Rapture.

But, now that I know, I can take you to Scripture, after Scripture, after Scripture, and prove it is one hundred percent right.

You say, “But, Brother Vayle, I realize that your proof, does not mean anything to anybody, except those of us who see it.” That’s exactly right. Exactly right. See?

But, the prophet said, “There is a revelation, that the Bride has to have.” And, she is waiting for it.

Now listen, if you change the promise of God, a Rapture pre-tribulation, to put you in the Millennium, you change it, you don’t get it! That’s why the Bride is never deceived, and, the Bride always has the information.

Now, one Word changed, that’s all it takes. And, she’s off. So therefore, the Bride has to have a perfect revelation, understanding, of the Rapture in this hour. And, she’s got it. She’s got it.

She’s got everything to put her in the Rapture. Which means, she’s going to come to the Garden of Eden again. Back to the Millennium, after the resurrection. Now, I want to go a little further.

I said, and I agree a hundred percent with Brother Branham, because it’s the Word. Whether I agree or not, doesn’t make any difference, It’s the Word. Adding one Word, negates the promise of God.

Now, the human mind is prone, because of Scripture, to take the negative, in preference to the positive. Or rather, should I say, to neglect the positive, because of being involved with the negative.

Now, we go back to the Garden of Eden. Let’s go back to Genesis. And, we’re going to read what God said to… Chapter 2: I beg your pardon… to Adam.

Now, there’s a negative there. Now, what people forget, is the positive. Whenever there is a negative, man forgets the positive. You know the old song; ‘Accentuate the positive,’ that’s an old Walt Disney, I believe. He’s a hundred percent right.

Because God made a promise, and God blessed and said, “Be fruitful, and multiply, replenish the earth, take dominion over it, subdue it.” You’re the boss.

Now, all through Scripture, the negative, has superseded the positive. Because, of man’s inability to hold to revelation.

Alright, to understand what I’m saying, we go to the book of,

Every bit of that is negative. Every bit’s negative. Now, the setting of Sodom and Gomorrah, is a negative setting. The setting of the Flood, is a negative setting.

It took a prophet of William Branham’s stature, to simply bring to our attention, that, at the time of Noah, there was a prophet. And, at the time of Sodom and Gomorrah, there was a prophet. And, there was a visitation from God Himself, in both cases.

Now, let’s look at the Scripture, that precedes what I read. He says in verse 22,

Now, he tells them, they won’t see it, but there will be a repeat of the days of the Son of man, and nobody, but nobody, caught it, but William Branham. So, they can’t major on the positive. How can you major on a promise, when you don’t even know it’s there? See?

Now the question is, how is He going to get us out of here? He’s going to come down and do it. And, that’s the Presence. That’s the literal Appearing, which has to do with, the secret Rapture.

Now, unless, people throw away their thinking, deliberately throw away the vomit, and the manure, of fundamentalism, to denying their own rebirth. Yup. Because, if you’re not born again, you can’t see the revelation.

Other words, this age of Laodicea, there is one message; repent. Which means, to change the mind. This is the mind age. This is the eagle age. But, who wants to change it?

Now, people have been running from church to church, with the constant changing of mind. And, they’ve run themselves, plum off into a ditch.

Because, they would not stand still, and, wait for God, to somehow bring a revelation. See? Or, sit still without one.

Now I know the world says, “Well, hey just a minute, it’s better to make any kind of a move, then, just not make a move.

I’m going to tell you something, years ago when I was very young, well, very young in the sense of what I am now. Very old, in the sense of some of you sitting here. Well you kids just pfft beat it, ha ha ha ha.

Well I was twenty-two to tell you the truth somewhere in there. Well, maybe a little older. About twenty-two, somewhere in there. Well, way back in there you know, when you’re young, quite a bit this side of thirty. I’d had it very tough.

So, one day I made a decision, it was the wrong decision, but I sure felt good, for awhile. Now, there isn’t one of you sitting here, who isn’t aware of what I’m talking about, at least in a certain measure. That you cannot sit still any longer, and stand the pressure. Oh no, you can’t do it.

Well, join the crowd, and get really blistered, honey. You haven’t had your hide taken off yet. Get up, and get out there, without getting a solid answer, knowing which way you’re going.

Don’t come to me, because I will pour cayenne pepper on it. Yeah. You say, “Vayle, you’re dirty.” You bet your sweet life I am, honey. You fool with me, and you’re going to get both barrels. Because I’m telling you, warning you tonight.

This is what Brother Branham said, “They, can’t sit still for the Resurrection.”

They can’t sit still, stand still, in the waters of separation, to be clothed in that Word. They can’t stand still.

Now the Church couldn’t stand still, so gets its theologians together, and it says, “Well, what about this Rapture bit?” “What about this thing that’s going on?”

Well, the theologians get together, and they say, “The thing is this, in a multitude, there lacketh not wisdom.” So they pooled their resources.

And, I’m just going to tell you one thing about manure. You can have it in a thimble, it’s manure, you can have it in a car load, or train load, it’s still manure.

I’ll tell you one thing about the Holy Spirit, you can have a thimble full, or Himself here, neither one, makes a mistake. Because, Holy Spirit, is Holy Spirit. It’s like a thimble full of ocean water, or whether it’s the whole ocean, it all analyses the same. It’s ocean water.

Now, people couldn’t stand still. So, they committed themselves, to their understanding like Israel did. And, when He came on the scene, and He said, “Here I am.”

And, John said, “There He is.”

They said, “No He ain’t.” But He was. What about today?

“The Lord Himself shall descend with a Shout.”

Jesus stood before the crowd, and He said, “Listen,” He said, “Wise guys, you really know so much,” He says, “I just want to ask you a question,” He says over here, where It says, “the Lord said unto my Lord, sit Thou on my right hand. ”

Who was talking to who? And they said, “Well, we don’t have time for little riddles like that. We’ve got big things ahead.

You see, for after all, when God gets in trouble, He comes to us to settle the question.” The Sanhedrin actually said that. Maybe, not at that time, but they said it.

I’m going to go back to 1 Thessalonians 4: and, I want to ask everybody this question. And, you tell me this, answer me quickly.

Now that follows verse 15:

Then it tells you about that Presence, when He’s going to descend from heaven with a Shout.

Now the question is: Does He come down, or doesn’t He come down? Alright, if that’s the case, let’s find out what Brother Branham said. These people say they believe the prophet.

The Anointed Ones At The End Time  65-0725m

[269]  You, that listen to these tapes, you may have thought I was saying that about myself, seeing that I was packing this message. I have no more to do with this Message, than nothing. No more than just a voice. And, my voice, against my better judgement. I wanted to be a trapper. [Skunk skinner, smell like a skunk.]

Good ole beggar on the dung heap. With a manure mind, human being, William Branham, smell like a skunk, had no more real interest in God, than nothing. But, he was born to it.

And, one day the footsteps, from eternity, begin to echo in the corridors of his soul. And, he knew, he had to stand up to truth.

Now, he said, “I’ve got no more to do with this, than, nothing, than, just a voice.” That’s a prophet! He had nothing to do with it.

“Thy Words, You put in my mouth.” William Branham, God took his tongue. Oh, you say, “God blanked him out?” Yes, God blanked him out. God, gave him his thought. God made him leave his thought.

“Well Brother Vayle,” you say, “That’s spiritism.” Drop dead. Can’t tell a spirit of hell, from a Spirit of God? That’s worse than a manure heap.

“But, it’s the will of My Father, that I declare, and am to do. I wasn’t the one that appeared down on the river.”

Now where’s the river? Up there in the clouds somewhere? Milky Way? A galaxy of stars, that make a mighty river? Oh, Great One in the Milky Way, shut up, down here in the water.

Where did He come before? Down on the water. Huh? Well didn’t He? As a flame like a dove come down into the water with John the Baptist, and the form Jesus, standing there.

The Logos that became, flesh. What came down? A dove. Fiery dove came down. Where? Over the water. Oh, He’s up there somewhere, says John the Baptist.

I can’t really see Him, but He’s up there. (Fap.) I get sick and tired of ignorance. I’m old and crotchety. And, I’m happy I’m that way, and I’m going to get worse. Whether you like it or not.

“I wasn’t the one that appeared down on the river. I was only there, when He Appeared. I’m not the One that does these things, and foretells these things, as happen as they are. I’m only the one that’s near, when He does it.” How near is near here?

Now, you tell me, that people in this Message, have let their thinking go. And, I’ll tell you, you’re just as bad off as they are, because they haven’t.

I asked you a question. What kind of a curve did Brother Branham throw the people? Well he painted his hair yellow, and ran off with a green haired gal. Did he? Well, he bought himself a hotrod. Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom. And, ran over stop signs and everything else. Did he?

Well, he got mad one day, and swore a blue streak and ripped up the walls and got put in jail for robbing a bank? Did he? He threw them curves, with the Word. He brought out those strange, peculiar things.

And said, “That’s it.” Hoo, hoo, hoo hear what he said? Hoo hoo. Oh, he’s God to the people. I can’t believe that. Pfft.

So you can’t believe it. Goodbye. Wasn’t nice knowing ya. Going to be nice, not knowing ya. Now Junior, I’m not wicked. I know you love me, and I love you, but, I’m not wicked. Ha ha ha. I got to kid Junior all the time. Junior, is a good friend of mine.

I wrote something about Junior, I’ve got to read it to you. He’s a young man always in a hurry, but, going nowhere really. Continually making turns, both good and bad. Loves to carry people and their burdens.

Always knows when he gets a green light. What is he? A bus driver. Ha ha ha ha. Aw, he’s my good buddy. Junior is a lot like me. He gets terribly impatient too, with what goes on.

Why can’t they see it? Look, you and I all know why they can’t see it. But I’ll scream louder and longer, if it’s going to help anybody to get it nailed down.

I’m not giving you something that’s alien. I’m telling you the truth of God’s Word, that the prophet brought here. This is that hour, of the eagle revelation.

And, you can mouth it all you want, and say, “This is that hour of the eagle.” You are no more eagle than a clucking, clucking hen, if you cannot change your mind, and throw out your manure heap. Your manure thinking. The vomit. Offer back to God, vomit. Won’t work. See?

Now listen. The very Word of God is voided by traditions. He said, “You’ve made the commandments of God, to none effect, by your tradition.” You’ve made the Word of God, non-effective.

Now, one change of the Word of God, brings curse. Period. See? Eve, the prophet said, was secure as long as she stood behind the Word. The very minute she left the Word, she was vulnerable.

People want to become invulnerable. How do you get that way? Getting back to the revelation. Now, let’s look at the Blood. People talk a lot about the Blood. Anybody can talk. Do a lot of talking here ourselves.

Okay, this then is the Message we have heard of Him, and declare unto you.

And, he says at the end time, It is a light. The Appearing, the Presence, the revelation, is light. Which is revealed Word. Now, I’m not telling you for one minute, that we’ve got revealed Word, without Him.

I’m not saying that. I am saying, that He, the Logos is here, and is revealing Himself through the passage which He takes, which is by a prophet. We have had the revelation.

That simply says in,

Revelation 10:4 sealed the Book, Revelation 22:10 opened the book, which was opened in Revelation 10: 1-7. So the thunders came forth under the Seventh Seal.

Now It says, “You can’t seal it.”

Somebody said, “But, Brother Vayle, it is true the Seventh Seal is not opened.”

Then if the Seventh Seal wasn’t ripped off the book, and the book is not opened, then, the book is still closed. You can’t have your cake and eat it.

Now, we say, “If we have fellowship with Him, and lie in darkness, we walk, and do not the truth.” Now, look at It. “If we say we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie , and do not the truth. ”

We certainly don’t have it. “But, if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another. And, the Blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us. ”

Now listen, walking in the light, is not sinless perfection. Because, if it were sinless perfection, why would you need the Blood?

It says the Blood of Jesus Christ, cleanses us from sin. Your justification, is a once for a lifetime deal. Your sanctification, is progressive. Your baptism with the Holy Ghost is your seal into eternity. And, what is He talking about?

He’s telling you, that the Blood does not avail, without the light. What are you going to do about it? You better believe the Bible.

In other words, there is no Blood, they can talk about Blood all they want. They can talk about Holy Spirit all they want. They can talk anything they want. But, when you turn down a vindicated, Word, you’re finished.

Let’s find out in Scripture.

What adversaries? You become one of them. You turn on the revealed Word of God, you’re an enemy of God. Now, people don’t like that kind of language.

I go before Pentecostal people, I fear not what they say, but I quote from,

And, a man said, “I saw the works that God did, but, don’t tell me I hate God.” I tell you, you do hate God. “Oh, no no. ” Oh, shut up. You make me sick.

You make Jesus Christ, illegitimate, and a liar. Don’t bother coming to me. Don’t talk. Shut up, and go back to the hole you came out of. You ain’t out of your hole yet. Hell bound sinners, that dare to lift their voices, against the light.

Now you tell what would do it. Now listen, what would do it? Let me get this across to you, so you understand what we’re saying here.

The Blood of Jesus Christ has been shed, it fell upon the ground for future sanctification of the earth. To bring our bodies out, He put it on the Mercy Seat, as a witness. The sin was dealt with.

Tell me, what can you do about the fact, that the Blood has been shed? Nothing, it’s been shed. Jump up and down and scream. Run to Jerusalem, where the Blood was shed, if, you can find it, and defecate on it, spit on it, pour the blood of hogs upon it.

Commit a voodoo murder. It won’t do you one bit of good. You’ll never change it. Climb into heaven, offer a pig where Jesus is. Can you do it? What can you do about the sacrifice?

Then, what is He talking about? Light. Moses brought a Word. The revelation of that Word brought a course of action.

Now, let’s go back under the law. Let’s see a man after God’s own heart, David. David paid for a lot of sins. Let me tell you flat. David got into some very vulgar sins. Oh, he got so many women, so many kids, he loved them all.

So when one of his sons rose up and raped one of the daughters. He said, “That’s too bad, but boys will be boys, you know.” After all men like it, and then girls must like it too, it’s too bad it happened that way.

You know what? That boy should have been put to death. His Dad knew all about it. Here’s the king, sitting on the throne. Oh, he won’t rise up and do something about his family.

The priesthood was that way for years. Where did the prophets go with their kids? You show me anybody that ever had anything on the ball, that he could stand before God and say, “Here I am, open the pearly gates.” Ha. I’m going to tell you about David.

In spite of David, he honoured that Word. The best he could, he wasn’t a priest. He… had the ability of a prophet, he had some prophecy in him, but, he wasn’t the prophet. Nathan was the prophet of the land. He was a man after God’s own heart.

But, I want to show you here, is the fact, that, I don’t care what anybody says, about the Blood, you can do nothing about it, It’s been shed, the purpose has been accomplished.

Then what is wrong with people? They will not come to the light. They have never taken the Word. The way they are supposed to take the Word.

And, in this hour, there is going to be a Bride, who believes as… Listen, rapturing faith in a group, group faith outside of Israel, has never been in existence. It’s going to come in now.

A group of people, standing here on earth, believing the same thing, walking in the same light. Not all doing the same thing, all thinking the same thing. Brother Branham said if you get ten people with the same thoughts there’s going to be a Rapture.

Is there going to be ten in the Rapture? Maybe ten hundred, I don’t know, maybe ten thousand. Who knows? I am not interested. But comparatively, with four billion people in the world, the few hundreds, or thousands, are infinitesimal.

Literally, the percentage is horribly small. Now, we sit here. What is it? They turned down the light. Now, Brother Branham categorically said, “The Bride is waiting for light on the Rapture.”

And, everybody sat back and said, “Well, his opinion will be like the rest. It’ll be do we go before the tribulation or don’t we?”

Now, as I told you, I talked with Brother Branham on the tribulation, pre-tribulation and post tribulation Rapture, I couldn’t see what he was saying. But, that was before he preached December 4,1965, Yuma, ‘The Rapture’.

I had questioned him before, but I believed what he said. He said, “Lee, it’s ‘Thus saith the Lord’ the Bride will not go through the tribulation.”

I said, “Thank you Brother Branham, I believe it, because, you told me.” I stood on it. That meant, that I was going to change my entire thinking and, I began opening my mind for the entire thinking.

When he preached this, and he said, “The Shout.”

I told you, I said to myself, “Hey, Brother Branham, you said a lot of far out things, but this is the furthest out thing I’ve ever heard you say, I cannot take it.”

And, suddenly I said, “Hold it, when was he ever wrong?” I said, “The Shout is the Message.” Fine and dandy.

And, I sat there, completely snowed under, with no revelation, but with the open mind. I said, “Hallelujah, that’s it.” Shout is the Message. “Bring it on buddy. Pour it on.” My mind was wide open.

My mind was wide open for the saints that to go up ahead of the Rapture. God showed me about it. You say, “God didn’t show you.” Fine, whatever. Whatever showed me, showed me. I’m perfectly satisfied.

You see, the mind has to give way to the mind of the prophet. Now here’s the beautiful thing.

1964 in Tampa, in Spring, Brother Branham sat with me at breakfast and said, “Lee, I’ll tell you, all my thoughts are of God.”

And, I thought , “Boy, I thought it was this… phfft.. out it goes.” Get it out, out. Kick it out of his mind. How many of us can do that?

All then, somebody says, “See Vayle, you’re just getting your little group there, in Ohio, right ready to pull a great big ‘Alexander Dowie’ or ‘Paul Jones’, or somebody else, kind of an act on the folk, get them in bondage.

I’ve got news for you, that’s a lie from the pit of hell. I ain’t got you in bondage, I could walk out of here tomorrow, and leave you sit, and do what you want. I’m not threatening anybody.

And you say, “You’re using more psychology.” No I’m not. I’m just telling you the truth.

…Listen, I don’t want you on my back, in front of me, or any place else. I want you in the hands of God. And, I’m doing my best to tell you something.

Whether it’s sinking in or not, you can do it, or not. That’s up to you, and God. I am not God. I can’t do it for you. I want to tell you this, you’ve got to put your thinking aside my brother/sister, when it comes to what the prophet said.

I’ve been in that bind, time, after time, after time. And, it scares you, part of the time.

Oh you’ll say, “Oh, merciful heaven, the prophet said this, I’m scared. The prophet said that, I’m scared.” Aw, shut up. Bring your stupid emotions under control, for once. Stand still like men, quit yourself like children of God, be soldiers of the cross. Stand still and listen.

Until, He begins helping you. I’m going to tell you something, brother/sister, the minute you begin confronting your scarecrows, that’s the time the scarecrows go.

Why are they worried about the Presence today, the way I preach it? “Oh don’t you know, that there, is how the Russellites taught it, old Russell taught it. Oh my, it’s got to be wrong.”

What about the woman in an Irvingite meeting, had the original revelation in a darkened room, flat on her back, having spoken in tongues, and interpreted, and said, “There is a secret appearing, and a secret Rapture.” A woman!

Big mouth, yappity yap. And, she had it wrong. She only had part of it right. There was a secret Appearing, and there was and is a secret Rapture.

And I told you, I thought I had Brother Branham right by the short hair… in the back there where it hurts… eyoo… back of the neck, you think they’re going to scalp you. I could lift the rest of his hair off. Speaking, you know, intellectually.

So I say, “What about this woman, Margaret Whiting?” or something her name was?

“Well,” he said, “So what, it’s still the truth.” Because, somebody down the road says something, back in 1876, because somebody got some little thing right, the devil threw a scarecrow, I’m supposed to back away? Then back away from the prophet!

Because Dowie said, “He, was Elijah.” He’s a nice old boy, but he drank liquor. He got so stewed by the fine wines, that he learned to imbibe, and relish, and fancy, he came home holding onto the pulpit. …Good old boy. Just had too much good stuff.

Wrong kind of a spirit came out of the bottle. I want to tell you something. He had a lot of things right in the head, but, he is wrong.

William Branham came on the scene, he had the right fruit, he had the right character, they couldn’t put a finger on him. And, the most ridiculous thing in all the world, is people in this Message, not to see the Presence, because, now they have reduced William Branham, to a loud mouthed, nin-come-poop.

I read to you, and I’ll say it over again, in 1962, here’s what William Branham said,…in Spokane, from that time “This is my ministry, to declare that He is here.”

Why, what Baptist wouldn’t say, “Don’t tell me, that you’re here to say He’s here. If that’s the best you’ve come to do, Ha!”

“Sir, read my book, about how He is here.”

A lady missionary from China could come on the scene, and she said, “Brother Branham you’re a lovely person, I know you’re a great man. Yeah. But, I’m going to tell you something, I taught my little girls in China, that He is present. At one time we didn’t have any soap, we were reduced to no food and no soap”, and, I said to them, “Girls, He is present, He is in the midst, and they shouted ‘Praise God’, and there was a knock at the door, and a baker came and said, ‘Say, could you use some bread?’

And a grocer came and said, ‘We’re overstocked with soap, could you use soap?’” And, then, when the Commies came in, and they were raping all the young girls, which is their favorite pastime, naturally, and they came to take the young girls, knocked at the door , and the Sister, I forget her name, I can get her name, don’t worry, I can get her book and all the other things… knowing those brigands were there, she had the girls stand, “He’s in our midst. He’s here.” They neatly turned and left the building.

Others were raped, that could’ve been the plan of God too. And they said, “William Branham, Ha.”

What is so great, that He is here, already having been here, being here all these 2000 years, that now this great ministry, just amounts to the fact you’re saying, “He is here.”

Look, it doesn’t cut brother/sister. It doesn’t cut. Because, if you’re eating lettuce and tomatoes, and I come in, and I see like this, and I say, “I’m here, to tell you, you’re eating lettuce and tomatoes,” You’d say, “Oh, boy, What’s with Lee Vayle?”

Well, come on. Is that all the prophet amounted to? I’m pretty derisive, I speak off the top of my head and these things, I’m off the top of my anger, on my inside. Because, I want to know.

I cannot reduce God and the prophet to hey- nonny-nonny and and hot-cha-cha. Some stupid thing out there. Don’t tell me William Branham came on the scene, with one of the greatest miracle ministries the world has ever seen, with the discerning of hearts. …?… and stand before thousands, and take every spirit under control, and you couldn’t hide if you tried.

And you say, “I’m here just to let you know, what you already know.” And there’s a great emphasis.

What did it do? Tell me, what did it do? It backfired. Because, they said, “Yuck.” And, we’ve got people who call it the ‘puke’ doctrine. Said, “I’ve known He’s here, for twenty-nine years.” Yeah? It’s interesting.

What do you know? They totally dis-ascribed, that Brother Branham said, “How wonderful, just think, the same Pillar of Fire that brought the Word to Paul, is here revealing it.”

Did they fail to catch the fact that Brother Branham said, “Originally, a prophet was a revealer of the Word, not a bringer of the Word, so much as a revealer of the Word.

Because, that’s the truth, he wasn’t the bringer, God brought His own Word. If the prophet is a bringer of the Word, then, the prophet starts, the Word starts in him. It doesn’t. The Word is in God. And God is in the prophet.

So he reflects the Word, he doesn’t bring it. He reveals the Word, and he interprets the Word.

Who knew what the Word meant back in Moses’ day? Except that Moses could get to God, and get the understanding. And, Brother Branham one day stood before us, and he said, “Listen, if I tell you I am a hypocrite.” Letting us know that he went to God, for the answers.

If God wanted to bring an answer, he could get the answer and bring it back, and, if he told us a lie, he was a hypocrite. You and I can lie, and we’re not hypocrites. We’re just stupid. Just plumb ignorant. Unable to do things.

But, when you deal with a man that can go there, like Balaam. Balaam took his parable, and Balaam made his altars, and accepted the seven rams and everything else was in order, and lit the fire.

And, he stood there with his parable, took up His Word. God came on the scene, spoke right through that man’s mouth, and the prophecies still coming forth. And he was only a prophet, truly a prophet. But, Moses, was the true prophet.

Here’s a picture of the twins, Moses and Balaam. Prophets. Here’s a picture of the twins, Cain and Abel. You’ve got twins right today. Only to the place of,

So, you had one Elijah, for a Bride, and you’ve got dozens and dozens of false anointed ones, but, that’s not what bugs the people today. Because, they know we’re not false anointed anymore to gifts. We put the gifts aside, so they can’t get us.

But now, it’s the teachers. Yeah. They run around. That’s why I stay home. Now I don’t say that’s the reason I stay home or not… I just stay home, because I like to stay home.

Now we’re at the end time. It’s almost nine o’clock, I’m not going to take any longer. What time did we start preaching? Eight o-‘clock.

Alright, tell you what I’m going to do, next few minutes, I’ll leave the service open unto you.

Do you want to ask some questions? You ask me questions right now. Any questions you want to ask me, I’ll do my best, to answer. We were talking about the Presence.

I am trying to nail it down to the place where you don’t have one single doubt. As to why we preach what we do preach. That the Baptizer Himself, is here. That His justification, gave way to sanctification. So sanctification, gave way to the baptism with the Holy Ghost.

And, the baptism with the Holy Ghost, gave way to the Holy Ghost, Himself. Now, how do you figure that one out? Who’s been doing it all along? The Holy Spirit has been doing it all along. Every age, there’s been a measure. Until the fullness of the Holy Spirit is here.

Then, when the fullness is here, my brother/sister, it means there is no more Word. It means the Capstone is here. You want to know about the Capstone?

I think I wrote it down here, somewhere. Always, writing things down and forgetting where I put them. That’s natural. I got it somewhere.

Capstone, Feast of Trumpets, Page 17 Par 5 read it sometime, it tells you about the Capstone. Why the Capstone is not the cornerstone. Or, the headstone. You’ve got a different story there. Capstone has come down. Okay, it’s all yours.

Any questions? See, I don’t have time to go into the tape tonight. There’d be no way, I’ve got fifteen pages to read, somewhere in there. I couldn’t take that time.

Now, Brother Branham used this Scripture,

Where is the promise of His Presence? See, the question was: What is the sign of Thy Presence? You threw that into the Word ‘coming’.

Now, he took the thought there, scoffers appearing at the end time.

Alright, brother/sister, listen, if there is such a thing concerning His Presence, if there is such a thing concerning the Rapture, if there is such a thing concerning the Wedding Supper, if there is such a thing concerning the Resurrection, this bunch here, says” no.” It is not here to do it.

Oh, they’ll give lip service, you bet they will. Oh they’ll say, “The prophet said it, Amen.” But, to believe, He came down, from heaven, stand before groups of men declare Himself. See?

Oh, they’re looking for some great thing. And, the simplicity has gone over their heads. Because, you know why?

I’ll tell you why. They look just like old Caiaphas, “Oh Mighty Jehovah, come down on a red carpet, stand before dear old, you know, Caiaphas, and say, “Caiaphas, I’ve always wanted to come down for a long time. This is the great moment of my life. I’m going to come down, and you and I are going to be so great together. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yes.”

Doesn’t work that way. Too many manure-heads. I hope you caught what I was saying just then. No man can take it. No man can stand a ministry, that people speak of. No way. They won’t have to stand it anyway.

Because, they aren’t going to get it. Far as I know the Word, far as Brother Branham taught, you’ve seen your last sign. He said, looking for great things, that belongs to the Jews. But no man, can stand that ministry, unless he’s already really, got something. Or, it will destroy him.

He’d get lifted up, or, something will happen. Hard to tell these things, hard to understand it, but, I know what I’m talking about. At least as far as I know, I know what I’m talking about.

Great visions, that people have to be somebody great. I’ve got news for you. Just do your best, to get that old brain of yours, straightened out. Do my best, to get my brains straightened out.

And, do you know something? There’s nothing like this anointed Word, to do it. I’m living proof before you, whether you know it or not. That I can tell you categorically, I don’t care where you stand, and how tough any place is, if you do just one thing.

You get with what William Branham taught, which is Twentieth Century Word, delivered to this people. And you, put your own thinking away. Don’t read with anything in mind, but, to get what’s there.

Just pretend you’re like when you were trying to do certain problems in school. Calculus, anything at all, and you went over it, and finally said, “Bluh, I’m going to have to really look at it.”

And, for the first time, you, put out of your mind, what was messing you up. And you say, “What does it really say? What does that question really ask for?

Now if so and so, and so and so, and so and so, and so and so. So and so, and so and so, and so and so. Oh, huh! No wonder I went wrong.

Because, so and so, and so and so, and so and so. Hmm, I’ll read that again. So and so, and so and so, and so and so. Oh, I see where I went wrong.” For the first time, you can really read what the book said.

You’ve got to know, that against the prophet, your table is full of vomit. And, the only hope you’ve got of eating pure manna, is to disengage your mind. If, you possibly can.

And, you can, if you’re a child of God. And, begin to look at what he says. I’m not up here to tell you, “Look, I’ve arrived.” No. I’d be a liar. But, I tell you, I’m going to say this truthfully, I know which direction to go.

I’m telling you everything, that I’m telling myself. I don’t hold one thing back from you, to the best of my knowledge. Just get out of your mind. Don’t be afraid.

That’s the worst thing in the world, because, remember, it’s when you come to the light, the Blood cleanses. You are on dangerous ground, holding back from the light.

And, you are on healthy ground, when you come to the light. Now, I want to tell you something brother/sister, there is hardly a better fertilizer than blood.

If you want to grow, you come to the light and let that Blood begin to move through your life. And, you’ll be a healthier plant, than you ever were before. You’ll be a plant that begins to grow.

If we walk in the light, as He is the light. Remember, there is no darkness in Him. If you walk in the understanding of the Word, now it doesn’t tell you brother/sister, that then, you’re going to be perfect. It says, the Blood will cleanse you.

Now look, you can’t go to God and say, “Lord, forgive me for running that car over that poor old cripple lady, if you hadn’t run the car over the poor old cripple lady. How can you go to God, and say “Lord, forgive me.” If you haven’t been doing bad things.

How can you claim the Blood, if you aren’t in trouble? Understand what I’m saying? Let’s go back, and read some more. Because, we’ve got to be in this light.

Listen, first of all brother/sister, you’ve got to come to the light. See? That’s why they don’t come. See.

Then he said:

Verse 9 of Chapter 1:

Why would you need an intercessor, if you weren’t in trouble at times? There is no perfection, this side of the grave. There is no perfection, this side of your change in the mortal body, we’re going in the Rapture.

Then what’s it all about? It’s first of all, get in the light. Get in the light. Don’t be afraid. Get in the light. Let your thinking go. Take a whole new attitude towards the prophetic Message. Then, things will fall in order.

But, they will never fall in order, until then, my brother/sister. Do you understand what I’m saying? That’s exactly why, with Brother Branham off the scene, it’s not that we don’t miss him.

But, let’s face it, if this wasn’t as I say it, then he’d better come back. But, if this is as I see it, then he had to go, so that we would see it.

And, get our eyes off of him, and onto the One that he presented. And, onto the Word, that gives a revelation of Him, who is present.

Now look brother/sister, understand this flat, I could stand here for hours and hours, and you could live around me for many, many years, and you would never really know me.

Unless I opened my heart, and give you an insight in such a way that for the first time, you really know me. That’s how we get to know God. If it isn’t for the Word that He gives us, you would never know Him, that is Present.

And, what you’re doing is, getting to know Him, more and more. Until your knowledge of Him, comes to the place of:

We’re not looking at a glass darkly, no, we ourselves, have become the reflector, of the very thing that the prophet gave us, coming right back to God. And, we see ourselves in the image of God. In the light as He is in the light. The very outraying.

You say, “Does that make it so?”

Look, I’m telling you, what God’s Word said. Let your mind go. Questions, questions, questions. What good are your cotton picking questions?

I told you years ago, in Depression, we all stood there hungry, we had a mess on our hands, and every politician, “This is wrong, that’s wrong, this is wrong.” I said, “Shut up and sit down, any jackass knows what’s wrong. Bring us somebody with the answers.”

And, they’re still saying it. One day William Branham stood, and he said, “The question come before politicians, “Will there be peace in this earth?”

And, he said, “You know there will be no peace.” Until the Son of Righteousness comes. And, His kingdom sets upon the earth. Then there shall be peace.”

And, William Branham took their questions, and turned them into an answer. I’ve done the same thing tonight by the grace of God, to turn your questions into an answer. Go back over the ‘Omega Reflection’, you’ll see It.

Now, I want to tell you something, you feel better than when you came here, don’t you? For the first time, your heart feels, nice and calmed down.

Say, “Hey, that’s great.” That’s true, that’s the way you’re supposed to feel. God never came on the scene and a big ole storm, and said, “That’s a great storm, hit it harder boys. Let’s sink em.”

After the old boat was rocked, and they’d had enough, He said, “Peace, be still,” Choom, quiet.

“Well,” they said , “Hey that’s great.”

He said, “I’m a great guy. What do you expect?”

Well come on. People talk about love, and they no more give God the credit for loving them. How nice is God? Wonderful, wonderful. Yeah.

There’s a sign I read in a man’s house, …I really hope he took it to heart. It hangs over the mirror, it says, “What do ye think ye of Christ? And, He is altogether lovely.” You say, “ …I really believe that.” When do you really believe it? Tell me.

When, do you really believe it? You believe it, because, it’s a revelation. You believe it, because you know. You believe it, because He’s proved it.

The Lord Himself, has come down. Stands before groups of men, declare Himself as ever He did. What did He ever do? He used a prophet. Came down in a theophonic form.

Well they say, “ We’ve known He was here, all these years. ” Did they? How come they missed it? How come they don’t talk different? I want to know…. I want some answers. They don’t give me answers.

The answers I (they?) give back, are more hateful than mine. I got some pretty blistering ones. Huh?

Okay, let’s rise.

Heavenly Father, we’re grateful to begin to know that You’re always with us, as we go into Your Presence, Lord, bringing out more and more of the facets of what has transpired in our hour.

And, we know, Lord, it is not, something that is brazen, it’s not something that gives us a facility of wit, sarcasm, all those things. Lord, but we know actually, down within us, there is the absolute, unalterable truth.

And, we know, Lord, maybe that we’re not going to be any more than just friends of the Bridegroom, I don’t know. By Your grace, we take it upon ourselves, to believe that you brought us this far for one purpose, to be Bride.

But, if You haven’t, we say what the prophet said, absolutely, sincerely, it we’re not Bride, there’s a Bride out there somewhere, and, hopefully by the grace of God, we won’t get in her way.

But rather, begin to point out, the Masterpiece of God, and the Great One Himself. The Great One Who is here. The One Present, to bring about a resurrection. And, we know that You are going to do it. Absolutely. We know that You will.

We don’t understand so much about the day and the hour, in the sense of the day of the month, and the month of the year, and those things. But, we believe it’s very, very close now.

And, we just know that everything is on time. We can just say, “Everything is right on time.” May we stand still, until that time.

May we be of those, Lord, who can stand still, and above all, may we be those that can change our minds, by letting the Holy Spirit do it for us.

May we be those, that can give way our own thinking, and stand right there before this Word, until out thinking becomes Your thinking. That’s right.

Because we believed way back there, we were Your thinking, and then if we were back there, way back there, were Your thinking, then we must be Your thinking for this hour.

And, there’ll be a Bride standing here to be immortalized. And, that’s marvelous. To stand right here, to greet them, the resurrected saints, as they come out of the grave.

To see the Seven Church Age messenger, prophet of God, the Elijah of this hour, come forth. And, we see him, and say, “Hi, Brother Branham.” Know it, Sister Branham, see those different ones, come forth.

To see the Sixth Age come forth, and somehow recognize. Because, there’ll be some, we’ll recognize from them. And, Five, and Four, and Three, Two and One, and then, see our change. Then seeing One go up, then Two, Three, Four, Five and Six and Seven, caught away, a little bit at a time.

We believe these things, Lord, we know they are real. We thank Thee my God that they have been impressed indelibly upon our hearts, and we’re going to stand with them, and we do stand with them. And, we praise You for it.

Now, Lord, we just pray that we may go in strength from this place, and the joy of the Holy Spirit. The love of Almighty God shed abroad in our hearts, abounding unto Your glory, then rebounding unto Your glory, Lord.

And, may from this moment on, just begin looking at this Word, as we’ve never looked at It before. And, give ourselves to It, as the prophet said we ought to do.

And now, with an understanding, perhaps as we not hitherto had, and a zeal, and a perseverance.

Bless each one, Lord, we pray, Almighty God. We pray the blessing of God, the joy, the peace, the depth, the power of revelation, unto the resurrection, and the Rapture.

And unto the King eternal, immortal, the only wise God, present here with us. Unto Him be glory and honour, from these lives, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior, living Savior. Amen and Amen.

The Lord Bless you.

Let’s sing, ‘Take The Name of Jesus With You.’
