Spoken Word is Original Seed; Book 2 #01

Shall we pray.

Heavenly Father, we’re grateful for Your Presence this evening hour, especially with us, Lord, through the revelation of the Word knowing Your Life is in that Word Lord, and therefore, pulsating in every heart when that Word has found lodging place and fed continually by the same Life of that same Word coming forth.

Even as it says in Malachi, “We shall be as calves of the stall, right in there, Lord, fattened up with the Word.” But not unto sacrifice, although that’s true in a measure, but dear children of Almighty God.

We thank You for that privilege Lord, and pray that You’ll reveal Your Word to us, even as You gave It to the prophet with the same Spirit of revelation that we may know those things that are truly given to us by You, and we give You praise in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

You may be seated.

Now I’m going to sort of take my time tonight, I’d thought I’d just about try to rush things through and get you out here early but we’ll just see what happens as we go along.

Now, in beginning this number one message on the second book of ‘The Spoken Word is Original Seed,’ I don’t need to have a preamble because I simply need to read from the second page and this is the old original setting.

I don’t have the one with the paragraphs. This was already made up, so I just use it.

And Brother Branham said,

[64-1]  [Here] …we left off this morning speaking on our text found over in Genesis the 1st chapter, the 11th verse, mainly: “The Spoken Word is the Original Seed.”

And now my purpose this morning and today is to try to explain to the people… my actions, [actually his ministry,] why that I have done the things that I have done. And realizing that these messages are being taped and will be sent out, many people will be… will probably… be hearing them after I am away from here, if Jesus tarries; but I want to say that I believe the Word of God, that It is the Truth.

Now that was his major premise, one of the major premises he came with that he believed the Bible to be the Word of God and It is the truth.

And of course, you realize that he is not speaking, and was not speaking as a lot of fundamental preachers who simply believe It and we give them credit for believing, we appreciate that. But this is different.

You’re hearing from a vindicated prophet who knows that he knows that he knows, who could say based upon his vindication “If God told me to raise Abraham Lincoln from the dead, or George Washington, it wouldn’t matter.”

He said, “I’d invite the armies of the earth to come and shoot me down if I couldn’t do it.”

Now this is what you’re hearing about then when you talk about truth. And so this is truth in the ultimate.

Actually, there’s no such thing as truth being in the ultimate or the penultimate or not the ultimate. Truth is always the ultimate.

This is where Brother Branham is talking about you need an ultimate. “You need a tie post. What is your ultimate? Live, die, sink or swim.”

Now I’ll either bore you to death, run you out of here, or we’re all run together. It’s that simple. Let me tell you something; it’s simpler than you really believe.

[64-2]  Now, we left off where we talked about the last days, relative to what has happened [through the ministries] of the evangelists that a few years ago were just burning up the country… and now seems that all of them have just stopped.

Now, I don’t mean that they’re off the field. They’re still going, but there are no results, seems like. They’re not getting anywhere. See? What’s the matter? The field… is [already finished being] sowed. Now, remember, don’t forget.. that.

Now Brother Branham himself said sometime after this, he said, “I’ve criss crossed America,” and he said, “this last time it looks like it’s all seined out.” He said, “Maybe fifty people came to the altar and we don’t know if any of those were saved.”

So Brother Branham is speaking in terms now, which he spoke many times of the prophet Noah. The ark completely loaded with those souls that were to survive and come back upon this earth, not having any death to discomfort them in any way, take them off.

[64-3] Someone asked me to repeat that Hebrew word again. It’s in Joel the 2nd chapter (Joel 2:28) where Joel is speaking of the coming of the former and latter rain, the word “former” in the Hebrew is M-o-u-r-e-h, moureh, which means “teaching.”

In other words, it will be a teaching rain and a harvest rain. Now, we’ve had the teaching rain, and we’re ready now for the harvest rain. You know the first rain is when you plant the seed. That starts your crop growing. Then just before it matures, there comes another crop. [He means another rain before the crop matures.]

That’s what they call the harvest rain. We know what it is–the spring rains, and it rains about June, that makes your crop. [That’s pretty accurate for spring wheat, but winter wheat that’s very good.]

Now you notice Brother Branham as I recall spoke of the latter rain starting with the Pentecostals and it could even be called erroneously, the latter rain.

A period of the renewing of the gifts or the restoration of gifts which many people even today believe that’s the Elijah ministry to bring the gifts and power back to the church. But that wasn’t so.

That was the time and if you wish to call it that, and we have called it that, the time of the latter rain, a latter rain type of ministry, where the people were misinformed believing that this was what we were looking for, when we were not. We were looking for the restoration of the Word.

Now let’s just look at the thought of rain here for a little bit to place it in the Scripture. I find it very interesting, going back to Hebrews, the 6th chapter, to begin with, and it says here, that there comes a time when…

Now he’s explaining what you’re looking at here, that when you’re going to leave the doctrines of Christ and go to perfection. And he’s telling you here that if you don’t have to lay the foundation again.

You don’t have to go back over it all. Why is that? Because the Seals will correct the errors and when the errors are corrected, you stand with a perfect revelation.

And so he says, in here; it’s not as though you’re sowing the entire thing. You’re starting all over again.

But what you’re looking at then as Brother Branham said, categorically, “Just think the same Pillar of Fire that brought the Word to Paul is here revealing It.”

Now there’s certain parts that do not need a revelation because it was given absolutely in a particular form as to men such as Luther and to Wesley and the peoples of those two periods, ages five and six.

And then further reveal light in the seventh age until there comes a sowing rain, as Brother Branham talks of his ministry which is a message at the end time.

And notice, it corrects the errors. The revelation now is brought and it’s over. There’s no further revelation.

That’s why we treat very, very, angrily, actually, and with great disgust, anybody who would tell me or tell you or go around this congregation telling any of you, that they’re now in a position having known the teaching of Brother Branham, if this is not the real thing, they’ll know the real thing when it comes. That’s a lie! It’s a lie! And those that say it are liars.

Say what you want, but don’t fool with me. All right.

He said,

Now what was he going to do? He was going to start where the Bride went off a track. Wrong Jesus, wrong Word, wrong Spirit. In that you get the complete doctrine of Christ but it wasn’t possible.

And Paul says,

Now when this particular hour comes, you don’t go any further, because there’s no place else to go. You’re learning, your thinking is complete.

So if you take away or add you’re in very serious trouble with God and you’re in very serious trouble with yourself.

Having fallen away, they can never be renewed to repentance; there’s no way they can change their minds. So you see they don’t have a think coming because God isn’t going to enlighten them.

As Brother Branham said in the year of the Jubilee, you take the slave to the door, and say, “Do you want to serve me forever?”

And he says, “No.”

Well, then you… he doesn’t… can’t do a thing with your earlobe.

But if you say, “I love my master, I’ll serve him.”

He takes you to the door there, the jamb and punches an awl through your ear which leaves a little bump there later on; showing that you can never leave him, that you will never, ever, hear anything again. It’s finished.

So he’s talking about that here.

And it says,

All right, Paul wanted to present the Bride. He wanted her to be faultless, just as Jesus did. He wanted his age to be a credit.

Well, not all of it was a credit. Face it. He had people in that church that were just as far off as we see them today. Some even said the Resurrection’s over.

Fellow drove all the way from Tucson, said, “Lee, I want to ask you a question.”

He said, “I don’t believe it but,” he said, “they said you did so I want to ask you face to face to know from you. Do you believe the Resurrection’s over?”

I said, “You’re looking at me, ain’t you? It ain’t over. I’m a part of it.” Sheee! My Lord, just about need… I, well, never mind.

The earth; we’re that earth. See. Receives blessing from God. God’s there to bless you. What greater blessing could be made immortal or come out of the ground? See?

And you’ll notice in here, whose end is to be burned. Whose fan is in his hand and thoroughly purge his floor, of Matthew 3 then Malachi 4 comes on the scene, burning. So there’s an end time rain.

And that rain will be both restoring as to the Word and bringing about a harvest. So what you see then is a cycle of life completed. All right, we’re looking at that.

Let’s go a little further. Let’s go now to Joel where this comes from… from which this come. Okay. We’re in the 2nd chapter, and in 23.

The former rain was given in moderation. What do you mean by moderation? It was not totally for that hour and totally revealed. There was in moderation.

Now, Paul was a vindicated minister. Jesus was vindicated. But at the end time there is no moderation it goes plumb wild. That’s a nice thought; wasn’t it? Hold your finger there and I’ll prove it to you.

We’re going to go to,

What is that verse written about? It’s written about the prophet in whom God is at the end time, even as He was in Christ. But the manifested vindication is greater than ever.

Of course, we’re going to have a lot of flea bitten spiritual minded people so-called who don’t believe that. You wait till you get to the White Throne; you’ll change your mind, too late.

Without moderation. Both the vindication and the revelation, never a time like this in the abundance of the revelation.

Paul walked around dizzy, like Daniel, from abundance of trance and revelation; Brother Branham had just about every time he went in a meeting.

“I’m… just going to put that to one side.”

Put it to one side! Have your own thoughts. Have your own understanding. Do what you want. You’re a free moral agent.

I don’t have to answer for you. I’m answering right now, because I’m telling you the truth.

Brother Branham said, “If Daniel got dizzy from a vision or two and told one great man a dream he had forgotten…” Where does Brother Branham stand in the lexicon of the names of the great prophets?” Huh!

And we got people who know better than the prophet, “Live, die, sink, swim.” “I can’t like that, I can’t take it and I do have a think coming.”

Well, I got news for you, when you wake up in hell after the White Throne don’t ask me for water on the tip of your tongue. I won’t have any to give you anyway.

“So you’re condemning it.” What do you expect me to do? Huh? I’m not a servant of man, I don’t need anything from anybody, neither do you.

“Be glad… and rejoice, he hath given you the former rain moderately and will cause to come down, he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain.”

Notice the emphasis. Very emphatic what rain it is. It is the teaching rain. Paul said, “If any man is a prophet or thinks himself spiritual or a prophet, let him acknowledge the things that I write are the commandments of God.”

And even in the… then the latter rain, in the first, now they threw the word ‘month’ in there, there’s not that at all. He’s just telling you how it comes.

As Paul said, “This Word came to you vindicated, it came in power. Absolutely manifested.” And William Branham’s ministry was even a far greater ministry because he fulfilled John 14:12.

All right, now the time of the latter rain, you can place it if you want with Pentecost, which is fine, from 1906 to the present time, but Brother Branham goes a step further here.

You will notice he says, “That when this rain falls, the teaching rain, the Spirit of God which will ripen it and bring it to perfection which will bring it to the Resurrection and immortality is right here to do it.”

Now there’s people running around thinking, of course, we’re going to do great and marvelous things. Oh, come on, what has that got to do with this?

Churches already had its last sign. And those that try to make other signs make the prophet a liar. That’s their business; I’m not going to join them with their stupidity.

Let’s go to Zechariah, chapter 10, that’s just about the last book in the Bible but, not quite, and in there we read the 1st verse and it says,

Now if there’s no shepherd. What’s the answer? He just told you. Ask for rain in the time of the latter rain. Ask for the teaching rain. There’s no use looking to any preacher under God’s high heaven, he isn’t going to help you.

Good, bad or indifferent, sincere, or not sincere, hypocrites, you name it. We’ve seen them; we’ll see more of them. And they’ll even preach this for conscience sake.

Brother Branham said, “You’d have preachers preaching for conscience sake.” We’ve seen it. Not preaching by revelation, the Spirit of Almighty God moving.

Hey, look kids, you’re not stupid. You’re not two year old babies that need your diapers changed. I’m talking to adults tonight.

There you see the end time. How is God going to correct all the trouble that’s in the world? He’s going to restore His Word and that eliminates the false prophets, all the do-gooder’s, everybody else, who want a think coming.

According to this Scripture it’s not ‘Live, die, sink, or swim’ they’re sinking and they’re dying. Except what? The Lord send the rain to bring the revival.

We’ve really seen a great revival and people don’t even know it. It’s a revival of the Word and that Word is now sown in the good ground; the hearts of men and women.

Okay. Let’s go to the Book of James, that’s a good book to go to. And it’s the 5th chapter, of James, and it says in verse 7.

Who’s knocking at the door? The Judge. Put the Scripture together. Be patient, brethren. Precious fruit of the earth; that’s what Paul talked about. And at that time there’s a former and a latter rain.

And Brother Branham vindicated, categorically, tells us that he has sown the former rain, and now all it’s going to take is lying in the Presence of the Son, the Holy Spirit, that’s S-o-n, the Holy Spirit to bring it out.

Now, let’s go to… and we’ll skip Hebrews 6 because we read it already. Now let’s look at Hebrews 6 in the light of everything we’ve read so far and bring it right to,

…to bring his people subject to Himself in the year of the Jubilee when we put our earlobe to the door and He’s standing by the door, so He can puncture our ears with His Word and we’ll never hear any other Word as long as we live and that will be eternity.

You got your choice. You have your choice, my brother, my sister.

When He comes down with the Message, then He raises the dead, He gathers us to the great Wedding Supper, and the Spirit that’s in the midst will become incarnate to us in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Who even now is on the Father’s throne and yet He is still our intercessor and He is caring for us. All right.

[64-4]  Now, the rain we found… was the Spirit.

The rain we found was the Spirit. Rain is Word; rain is Spirit. How come they can be actually used as one and the same?

The very reason is that the Spirit and the Word are one, just like Rhema/Logos are one and the life, “My words that I speak are Spirit and life; they’re found in there.”

And Brother Branham said, “That the One in our midst was Elohim.”

And the rain we found out was the Spirit. God pouring out His Spirit. God bringing the teaching rain. Who was doing the teaching? It was the Spirit Himself. It was God Himself in the form of the Holy Spirit in this hour and He uses a prophet all the time.

Never forget that because you simply cannot take one little thing that Brother Branham said, then throw it plumb out of the gate, you’ve got to reconcile every single thing.

So he’s telling you right here, “How does the teaching rain come? How is there going to be a harvest? How is the Bride going to get out of here? It’s by God Himself.

[64-4]  And now, we left off at where I gave my thoughts of what the whole thing will be. That is, I believe that… the rain has been… [the rain has been] brought… [In other words, the rain has come, the Word has been brought.]

This… is the reason we are quietened down, because the ground is already sowed over. [Sowed over with what? The rain which is the Word. and you get that in Isaiah. See?] This is the reason it’s quietening down,…

You can’t find anywhere hardly what’s been sown. [All the sowing out there, just as though it fell upon the dry ground and sidewalk, or something.] It went out through radio, television, tapes, word, everything; it’s been sown, the country is sown down. It’s planted seeds.

Now it tells you right there, the seed is planted. So what’s he talking about? The moureh. He’s talking here about this former rain, is a teaching ministry, the Word of God is gone forth.

And notice now, that this is in 1962 before 1965 when the Seals were opened. This is right in between ’60 and ’63. That’s the Church Ages and the Seals.

And so therefore, there’s just the teeniest bit left in the last time allotted to Brother Branham.

[64-4]  Now, what the seeds were planted, you cannot get anything else from them but what the seeds… were planted.

In other words, what actually is in that little seed, you will get nothing but what is in there. Now if that’s the case with this Message we who have received it in the good ground will get nothing but this.

How can the Bride go then through the Great Tribulation? How can she be counted disloyal? Unclean or anything else?

How can she not be what Brother Branham said, “The perfect, righteous, sinless, Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ who didn’t even do it?”

[64-4]  Do you understand now? It will be the seeds that are planted that whatever comes forth. See? Now, the Spirit will fall, [On what?—as rain, as life, nurturing that,] …It’ll bring forth a harvest of the seed that It falls on. Now, remember.

Now what is he talking about? He says, “Remember now when that rain falls…” and he’s talking about the seeds of denominationalism, Catholicism, Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, especially, in Protestants.

That’s your fundamental and your Pentecostals. They’ve been sowing. The Catholic church sowed many, many years ago. But these guys have sown.

Now those seeds are there. Now that is a former rain. A teaching, see, so what are you going to end up at, at the end time?

In the beginning under Paul, what came forth? Wrong Jesus, wrong word, wrong spirit, another Jesus, another Gospel, another spirit. What are you going to have now? They’re teaching the same thing.

Now there could have been a resurrection and a rapture at the time of Paul. But it eschewed off like we’ll study in this message like the other message, eschewed off; the Bride got messed up. At the end time it won’t happen.

Now the seeds have been sown and the Holy Spirit is going to see that all of those seeds mature. Right? So you’ve got two vines and at the end time the Spirit is so close that all but the very elect are deceived.

Now the foolish virgin can be fooled. She hasn’t got what it takes. But that elect Bride, the wise virgin, cannot be deceived and she’ll stand right there and she’ll go through it.

Now remember there’s two spirits. There’s a Son of man; the son of perdition. William Branham’s ministry in contrast to Oral Roberts, Tommy Hicks, Osborne and all of those Trinitarians. See.

Now, the Son of man ministry given by the Holy Spirit through the prophet is finished. We’re waiting for the work to be done by the Spirit of God in our lives. We’ll talk about that. We’ve talked about it a lot already.

Now we’re waiting now then for an incarnation of what lies in those two seeds. You will have the incarnation at the Wedding Supper. You’ll have the incarnation down here on earth as one pope likely out of America, will be incarnated by the devil.

[65-1]  All right, I predict that the two denominational groups, Pentecostal and the Evangelical groups, will work together in a denomination, will unite themselves together, become a member (all of them) of the Federation of the Council of Churches… They already belong to it–all of them.

Now remember, Dr. Bell, that’s Graham’s… father-in-law in ‘Christianity Today’, many years ago, said, “The Assemblies of God had joined the Federation of Churches.”

And they hastily wrote back and they denied they’d done it and Dr. Bell held his ground.

He said, “They’re in it.”

In other words, the Pentecostals are some of the most blatant liars. I’ve been amongst them. The truth is not in them. They’re already in it, certainly.

Full Gospel Businessmen even wrote a creed, “We believe in the Holy Trinity because we said so; we got lots of money. Hey, God, you’re a Trinity. See. Oh, ya, ya, we got money.”

Yeah, the Jews got the paper and Rome got the gold. You’ll learn more and more of that as time goes on, what it really means. I’m talking politics now, and religion. Gold and paper. Huh?

How many Jews here? Any Roman Catholics? Then you ain’t got no paper and no gold. We better get out of here; can’t buy and sell, can’t do a thing. They own you lock, stock, and barrel.

You know when America was formed, wasn’t it Alexander Hamilton sold us all down the river with the International Banking scheme? Think you look it up in the records, you’re going to find that. Can’t control your own money. You give it away to people, right.

Why did America do it? So Rome could come behind with the gold. Big smile, all goldie! Rome. Come my children; see the gold in my teeth?

Yeah, did you ever hear of Little Red Riding Hood? Yeah, you better. You got big teeth, auntie. Right.

All right. They already have…

[65-1]  [Now] there will come a time through them a forcing or a boycott, that will stop everything but what belongs to that union of churches. The Bible said that there would be a boycott, [that’s of course, the 13th of Revelation,]

…even to such a way it would cause people to not buy or sell unless they had received this, the Mark of the Beast, which is Romanism, [Remember the forehead and the hand to think their doctrine, to do their will, the image,] and the image of the beast, which is Protestantism,…

You know if the Protestants had stayed protesting, Rome couldn’t do a thing. But with this Federation of Churches which the Protestants have built, all getting together.

As one fellow said, “You can’t build a cart, but what somebody has got to drive it.” So Protestants have built this image and Rome’s taking it over.

[65-1]  …The beast had power, authority to give the image life to speak, and it did. Huh!

They’re all going back to Rome. The Anglican Church is literally there, and so is the Lutheran. Brother Branham said, “The Pentecostals in two hundred years would be worse than the Catholics in two thousand.”

I think he over shot his mark, actually, he could have been a little more assertive and said ten more years or whatever.

[65-1]  And that’s the Confederation of Churches, when they confederate themselves together.

So Brother Branham blames America for the image and he laid a lot of stress on the fact that America voted for a Roman Catholic president which showed the whole world, “Hey, Catholicism is fine.”

What are you idiots sending us missionaries for? You crazy? You got a Roman Catholic running the country and all Rome behind him. What are you talking about sending people…? Come on.

America betrayed Christ and even then God gave them, you know, a little time. Wasn’t it 1956 that he said stop praying for America? It’s finished.

[65-2]  Now, there’s many young people here. I don’t know; Jesus may come this afternoon; He may come next year. I don’t know when He will be coming. But remember, if I do not live to see that day of His coming–which I hope that I will, and somehow believe I will…

Now if I do not see it, do not let this Word ever depart from your ears and from your heart…. Just remember, I speak in the Name of the Lord.

“I am one of the prophets of Deuteronomy 18. I speak in the Name of the Lord, and don’t let this depart from your heart.”

What is he saying? I am leaving you a legacy. Now what was his legacy? Well, hey, his legacy as this prophet has got to be what he has. And what is that?

Joshua 1:

All you got to do is testify to it. I’m a child of the former rain: I’m one of the very elect. Part of the wise virgin Bride. Yup. Oh yes!

[65-2]  Now, I believe with all my heart, that’s the way it’ll wind up. There will be a union, a boycott. All such places as is here will be closed down. And you’ll not be able to speak unless you got their permission or a license from this federation of Churches to hold a service.

Why back in 1938 I wanted to get a public building when I was in the city of Red Deer, tiny little city of Red Deer up there in Alberta, Canada.

And they said, “Well, if you don’t belong to the local churches and the little union of churches here, you can’t have the building.”

Already they’re running politics, because politics wanted to be run. Give me your vote because I am a goat and we’ll all go to the pasture together. Yes, and eat thistles and junk, forget it. I want clover.

[65-3]  …it shows it does that… even [now]… [even] in the denominations. [That’s right. Way back in ’38 which would be when Brother Branham preached this is ’62 it would be twenty-four years later. See?]

It shows where it’s at. Yes, sir, you have to have it. …that’s where it’ll wind up…. That’s my prediction, as a servant of Christ through the understanding that I have of the Word and the inspiration; that’s where it’ll come.

That’s the very same thing he said about 1977. It’s written right in the Church Age Book. By the inspiration which was divine and his own particular thinking, he thought it would be 1977, and then he had to revise it because things were coming in too slow.

See, at that time they were accelerated but then they slowed down.

[65-3]  …All signs are pointing to the end. I just got through speaking on that.

Now remember it’s at the end time you also find people saying, “Wow, is this going to happen? What’s it going to be?” That’s why they’re going back to Pentecost.

Brother Branham warned absolutely, said, “Now listen, you get a man trying to discern, that’s false anointing.” And they can talk all they want about the Message, they’re still false anointed.

And yet just as soon as someone sticks his head up, everybody… well, not everybody, but a bunch of people, so-called Message people, they run right for it. Well, once they pull that, forget it.

You say, “Well, this guy’s lining up now.” Well, is he? Well, it’s wonderful, good-bye.

[65-4]  …it’s even come to the time that the unwise or foolish virgin has begun to cry out for oil. Now, remember, she was a virgin, and if she’s a virgin, she’s a church.

Like Brother Branham said, “Wise and foolish virgins, same thing, same substance, they’re both virgins, but one is like a bolt of a cloth. And you put the pattern on the cloth and what you snip out that is the wise virgin; cut the pattern, the others are just out there, remnant.”

They sort of got to find their way around. Sort of, come intellect. The Bride’s not that way. She’s married. She’s got a head. She’s under jurisdiction.

The ear has been put there. Can’t change. She’s got all the thinks coming she needs. And she knows she’s not going to sink or die. No.

[65-4]  See, we’ll get to that this afternoon in Revelation 17. If she’s a virgin, she’s a church; because the church is a virgin. Paul said, “I espouse you to Christ as a chaste virgin.” The prostitute of Revelation 17 was a church. [Another woman. See?]

John admired her because… of her beauty, what she was; she was a beautiful thing, but yet in her was found the blood of every saint of Jesus Christ that had been murdered in her. That’s right.

[66-1]  I believe it is 68,000,000 martyrs… that the Roman Catholic church has put to death since Saint Augustine of Hippo. Sixty-eight million Protestants has been killed and recorded on the record of the martyrology of the Catholic church because of disagreeing with her doctrine.

No wonder the Bible said, “In her was found the blood of every martyr.” [Well, that’s the truth, and that’s just the honest truth.]

[66-2]  Now,… didn’t Jesus say that there would come a time that they… would kill you, thinking they were doing God a service;

Now what did their thinking do for them? They had a thought coming. Any murderers here tonight? You got a thought coming? “Oh, Brother Vayle, I’m not a murderer.”

Then why do you go around the congregation trying to destroy souls? Huh? You don’t like my preaching? Hey! It’s no matter to me. No matter. Ain’t got a think coming. I don’t want a think coming if I’m going to think like that.

[66-2]  …Jesus said, there would come a time they would kill you, thinking, [thinking, thinking,] they were doing God a service; and they are sincere about that. They’re not hypocrites. [Then what are they?] They believe that; they’re taught that.

So are the Muslims, so are the Seventh Day Adventists. They’re all taught a certain way; they got a mind set. I’ve got a mind set, too. My mind set says, “I ain’t got a think coming,” but I’m glad.

I wish it were that easy for everything. Just to think when it comes to your eternal destiny, you’ve got it easy.

But to know whether you should go tomorrow uptown with the few little measly bucks you got and invest in green stamps or yellow stamps, your eyeballs go in circles, you might… boing, boing, boing.

Wouldn’t it just be nice to just have your thoughts really under control? Well, God’s not going to get your thoughts in the stock market. But He’ll get you out of the slave market which is a whole lot better.

[66-2]  And when that Word… When… that Word is planted there, it has got to bring a crop. Sure it has. Remember, we are staying with the Seed. [What Seed? Spoken Word is original Seed.]

That’s our text–our Seed. The spoken Word of God is a Seed. See? It’s got to come back to this Word, and that Word will produce what It says.

Now what’s he doing? He’s quoting Paul here. 2 Thessalonians 1:10.

Now he says, “See, it’s got to come back to this Word, that Spoken Word of God is a Seed. And it’s got to come back to that. And it’s got to produce it.”

Now,

Not Paul’s day, the day that He comes, oh, in the Cloud. The day that He comes; you’re going to believe Paul’s testimony; the Judge. I said, “We’re going to believe it.”

2 Thessalonians 2:

Did you hear what I read in verse 10? “When he shall come to be glorified in his saints,” because you believed Paul’s Word and Paul’s Word went out of cater, another Jesus, another spirit, another gospel, in the first century.

So there’s got to be some believers come on the scene at the end time who believe Paul’s gospel.

When he says, “The world will be judged by my gospel.”

There’s the Judge, there’s the Judge. [Brother Vayle points to the pictures of the Pillar of Fire and the Cloud] Yeah. It’s interesting, isn’t it? It’s more than interesting.

Let’s go to 2 Corinthians, we go to the 4th chapter, and we read verse 2. But Paul says,

Hey, did you catch what I read there? He said, “You ain’t got a think coming.” And the gods of this world have blinded people’s eyes to think they got a think coming.

It keeps them from getting the glorious gospel, the light of the glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God, can’t shine into them. Notice!

What’s he telling you? He’s telling you Jesus Christ is his own preacher, like Brother Branham said, “He’s his own prophet.” Paul’s not in this picture at all. He’s just a mouth.

Take that back to Ephesians, the 1st chapter hey, 17 to 23, you begin to see great things there. See? Okay. We’re going to read 1 Thessalonians, we haven’t read it before, the 2nd chapter, verse 13.

You say, “Brother Branham’s got it made.” Then we got it made. I get criticized because I don’t preach Brother Branham coming back in a tent. I don’t even know what it means.

How am I going to preach what I don’t understand? End up like a guy from Florida, preaching the new name up there in Brother Guenther’s church.

Nobody understood him, he didn’t understand himself because I heard his tapes. Hooo! Forget it.

That’s what he says here. God brings His Own Word; He’s is Own Prophet: He’s His Own Teacher, He’s His Own Revealer.

[66-3]  That’s the reason I believe in Divine healing; that’s the reason I believe in visions; that’s the reason I believe in Angels;

What’s he saying? The Word of God must come forth, what was planted, into manifestation. And it’s going to bring forth healing. It’s going to bring forth visions. It’s going to bring forth dreams. It’s going to bring forth angels.

[66-3]  And that’s the reason I believe in this message, is because all of that has come to me. And It comes from the Word of God. And anything outside the Word of God, I don’t believe it. [He doesn’t have a think coming.]

[Now he said,] “It could be so,” [you said, “There could be out something there, doing something.” Sure, I’m not going to argue that.] …but… I’ll just stay with the Word what God said and then be sure that I’m right.

Now if he’s sure that he is right based upon vindication then you and I are right believing it. How can you be wrong when you’re right? If you’re going west, how can you be going north? It’s that simple.

[66-3]  Now, God can do what He wants…; He’s God. But as long as I stay with His Word, then I know that’s all right. And I believe that.

[66-4]  Now, this unwise virgin is a woman; she’s a church; but she is unwise. See? She has just been dilatory.

Now that’s a very nice word. What does word ‘dilatory’ mean? “A dillar, a dollar, a ten o’clock scholar, what makes you come so soon? Used to come at ten o’clock but now you come at noon.” Right? A dillar, a dollar.

A dillar, a dilatory person is a late person. They show up too late. The unwise virgin. “I want to get in.” Too late! She’s dilatory. Right.

Why is she late? She’s got no oil. She’s not dressed. She’s not Bride. She’s got just about all the essentials but she just doesn’t make it. She is coming to the Word too late.

As Brother Branham said, “One day they’re going to wake up and say, ‘Wasn’t all this supposed to take place? Wasn’t all this supposed to take place?’ Just like at the time of Jesus. ‘Wasn’t this supposed to take place? Wasn’t this supposed to take place?’”

In other words, He’s coming, He’s coming, He’s coming. He’s come, He’s come, He’s come. But He’s gone, He’s gone, He’s gone. “Oh, did that happen?” Too late. They’re tardy.

They stayed in the denominations with their creeds and dogmas. The Jesus-Only have remained Jesus-Only and most of the Branhamites have turned that way from Trinity, too bad.

[66-4]  And yet she’s called–she’s called herself the bride. But she’s not. And remember everything runs in… three for perfection. Three is the number of perfection:

Now he’s going to bring something in here. Now you listen carefully because your think you’re going to think you hear something you’re not hearing.

God’s offices: Father, Son, Holy Ghost. God the Father was a God that lived in the Pillar of Fire. He was trying to draw Israel to Him. They wouldn’t come. God the Father lived in the Son, which made Him God the Son,…

Now Brother Branham categorically says, “There is no such thing as God the Son.” But you notice what he said previously. “He lived in the Son.” See?

Now that’s true because in Matthew 17:5 He said, “This is my beloved Son in whom I’m pleased to dwell.” In the Book of Hebrews; God dwelled in the prophets and He dwelt in Son, in that only begotten One. See?

[66-4]  Now, which made Him God the Son, [This is terminology to suit the Trinitarians so he’s expressing it, a bit in their language. But let’s keep reading.] …God, the Father, lived in the Son,…

So He must have had a Son to live in if He’s going to live in a Son. And sons have beginnings. And sons… come out of. All right.

The same God, expressed image of God,…

Now what’s he talking about? They wouldn’t come. God the Father lived in the Son which made him the Son of God, the same God expressed image of God.

[Now watch!] …the seed of God manifest, [Well, is God His own Seed? No. Has Seed. But He Himself is not Seed. He has Seed. Now watch!] The seed of God manifest, trying to draw the people to Him; they crucified Him.

Can you crucify God who is Spirit? Uh-uh. You can do it in an off-hand manner of, you know, like cause and effect and a certain way but how can you kill God; how can you crucify a spirit?

The Holy Ghost is the same God that was at the beginning in the Son of God, and now here the other office of God in the last days, living in the church, trying to bring the Word …

The same Pillar of Fire that brought the Word to Paul is here revealing It.

See? (the spoken Word like all other two offices did) to the people, and they reject It. It’s the same thing.

In other words, in this hour they crucified to themselves the Son of God by crucifying the Word because they are literally destroying to themselves the life that could get them out of here and put them in a Resurrection. It’s the same thing.

[66-4]  It’s the three offices or manifestations of one God in action. And God in His people today in action is God in action.

Now let’s go a little bit further now. That’s number four, that’s not three. You got four now. That’s why you got Presence and presence. It’s God in His people.

It’s not the same as that God right there, you better believe it. That’s God. The Baptism is just a part of God.

Like one drop of ocean water of all the oceans in the world. The entire mass of the world that we see today is five-sixths water. It’s an awful lot of water.

[67-1]  Lord willing, I want to speak on that tomorrow night: God in His universe, God in His Son, God in His people,…

Now notice in there, God in His universe, God in His Son, God in His people, it’s all different.

[67-2]  Now, then, this unwise virgin, when she went to buy oil–she was sent to buy the oil. When she did, she found out it was too late. [Dilatory, see?] Why? Why, friends? The seeds are done planted.

She missed it. She missed the planting. She didn’t take the Message. So what… so if the rain falls, not going to do her any good. It’s just going to bring forth what’s in her.

And it brings forth death, because she’s numbered right there with the wicked and unrighteous and the filthy. And she dies. Hunted down like dogs.

Remember Brother Branham said, “The church is purged. The church is purged.” All the foolish virgin die. The Jews are purged, the earth is purged. You’re looking at it.

[67-2]  The seeds are done planted. See?

It’s going to bring forth charismatics, Full Gospel Businessmen. This foolish virgin has no Word vessel, she’s got no Word vessel. She’s got creed vessel. Can’t take It.

David said, “Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee.”

What does Paul say about the Word? Romans 10, now this is the Word that you and I need in our hearts. This is the greatest battle of all time, to get rid of our thinking.

You know why they don’t want to get rid of their thinking? Because it’s titillating to have some stupid little thought, like maybe Satan was one time the Bride of Christ. Ha! Merciful God!

Satan’s a created creature. Jesus is a born creature. We are born creatures. We’re born of God. And we want to get rid of this body because it’s not good for us. It’s mammalian mingled now with animal. All right.

Negative number one: Don’t you dare say in your heart! Don’t you dare add a word! Don’t you dare have your own thoughts and expression! You ain’t got a think coming!

I said that way to be mischievous, to be nasty. I shouldn’t even bother because if you don’t believe you ain’t got it anyway. You’re going to be doing your best to frit around and find something.

I’m going to do my best to get rid of all the crud that I got and you’re going to want all the crud you can get and dredge up. If you got it; I don’t know what you’re doing.

I can’t read hearts and thank God I can’t. I understand now, finally, why Brother Branham did not want to read people’s hearts, he just hung back from knowing anything about people.

“I never got it by myself. I never got it by a man. God said so. I’m a mouthpiece. Let me prove it to you,” said Paul. “Now, the word of faith; which we preach; which you heard.”

Now he’s telling you right there, every single thing that you’re going to confess about Him is going to come from your mouth, unless somebody puts it in there. Spiritual food in due season.

Now, all right, we’re talking about that. As we talk about that, let’s go to 1 John 2:28. Okay, and we all know that Scripture. Now it says here,

Now Paul mentions that you must keep your confidence to the end, and don’t take your hand from the plow. All right, again.

All right. The word ‘ashamed’ actually means that we are not disfigured, we’re the proper figure. When it comes time to be in His Presence as today, we are not ashamed, we are not disfigured. See?

Now remember, that Brother Branham speaking of the Presence said, “When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden, when His two children fell into sin, and therefore, into the clutches of death, Satan, God did not send a Cherubim, He didn’t send an Angel, didn’t send an emissary, didn’t send an army; but He Himself came down and so today.”

So now in the Presence of Almighty God what was it like back there? They were naked. Fig leaves didn’t do anything for them.

They tried something; it didn’t work, like in Revelation the 3rd chapter, “Wretched, miserable, naked, blind, don’t even know it.”

Right there in His Presence of the Judge. Remember the Judge is the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart and can see right through you.

And everything that has to do with Him with you that’s through the process of worship, not just creation but mostly worship and so on in the church.

It’s all absolutely, public; you couldn’t hide if you tried. We see it all brought out there, very, very carefully. We’re not disfigured.

Now let’s go back to 2 Corinthians, and begin to get rid of the disfigurement,

This man’s telling you right here, “Look, I’m out of the picture, yet I’m in the picture.”

He said, “I’m out of the picture, but I’m in the picture concerning you. I don’t have one thing to do with you, you one thing to do with me. But I’m here for God and God’s giving you what you need through me, and that’s it.”

No glory, no credit, that’s how it is. Now watch!

Now Paul is telling you here, that he is an able minister of the Spirit and you can say all you want except for the apostle Paul, you couldn’t be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Now he brought the Word. What’s he telling you? Everything is restricted to Christ and His order.

Now in plain English, I understand from the guys that know Scripture, they said what this really means is this: “they knew that glory would fade and they couldn’t stand to see it fade.”

Now let me tell you something, the law was interim and Brother Branham himself said, “The Baptism with the Holy Ghost is interim.”

What have you got then that is so wonderful that it keeps moving and moving until it gets exactly where Paul said, which is the image and glory of God. The Word! The Word!

And if you haven’t got it, but you got your own thinks and your own thoughts and it isn’t ‘Live, die, sink, or swim’. Hey, have fun! You want to play church; play church.

I’m not twisting Scripture to the best of my knowledge, I’m just telling you right here, here’s a letter that kills; it’s written in rock.

Here’s another letter that doesn’t kill; it’s written in the heart. “Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Read your 1st Psalm again.

Now,

Aha! Blinded to what? The whole purpose of the ministry of God to them. Well, he’s talking about ministries. The first one was nothing compared to this because it faded, it was temporary, it’s gone.

And the Baptism with the Holy Ghost does not touch that but if you do not have the Baptism you do not know that and you’ll substitute what you think you got for that and you’ll have creeds and dogmas and everything else.

That tells you right there that what you are looking at and it’s in this Word here, and the Spirit of God there, is going to do something to you.

He said, “I’m completely vindicated. I’m exonerated.” My word wouldn’t do it. My thoughts wouldn’t do it. Nothing would do it but God. This is God’s Word. Now watch!

You’re lost without the gospel. You’re lost without this Word revealed. That’s why Brother Branham was up there and he said, “I preached what Paul preached.”

“We’re resting on that.”

And he said, “Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t miss it.”

Don’t miss what? Getting there? You couldn’t get there if you tried unless you’re ordained to it. Don’t miss what? What we’re preaching tonight. Paul’s gospel, trying to show you and it better be Paul’s gospel.

Now where is that in the Book of Acts? Oh, my, my, I’ve such a poor memory. I wish I had made a note of this, but it never came to my mind. I don’t think I’m going to be able to find it.

It’s in the book of Acts, not there, my, my, can’t be, can’t be in 13. I’m not going to be able to find it, it has to do with Paul preaching, where he mentions that Paul would be a light to the Gentiles.

He’d like actually be, like a saviour to them. It would be by proxy. It would be because Christ Himself wasn’t there. Paul was there, but it was the same thing.

Now look, He appeared to Paul in that Church Age to the church, the same thing repeats. Ephesians repeat. And we come to the same place again, identically where we were at.

Now, how far have we got over here? Okay.

He says here,

[67-2]  Now, this unwise virgin, when she went to buy oil–she was sent to buy oil. When she did, she found out she was too late. Why? See? She had her old creeds and dogmas, never took the Word… The seed… was done planted. There were three up to the Sodom time…

In other words, the time of Sodom. At the time of Sodom there was three people standing there.

There’s always been a… three [in number]… There’s three comings of Christ. He came once to redeem His Bride. He comes in the rapture [by the flesh, he’s talking about, the Rapture] to catch away His Bride. He comes in the millennium with His Bride. Everything in three.

Threes is a perfect number. Five… the number of grace; seven, completion; twelve–worship; twenty-four, rather, forty–tempted; and fifty is… jubilee. Now the word “Pentecost” means “jubilee, because it’s fifty.” See?

[67-3]  Now, and now God is in His numerals, He’s perfect in His numerals; He’s perfect in His Word; He’s perfect in His action; He’s perfect in everything, because He’s a perfect God. And He sees that in these virgins…

Now look, there is… in the Bible there’s called a whore. (Now, I want my sisters… to forgive me. …[But] that’s what the Bible says. Today I am speaking just plain.) Calls her (a) whore, (the) mother of harlots, which is the same thing…

[67-4]  Now, if you notice, there is a whore spoke of in the Bible (That’s a church.), a harlot spoke of in the Bible (That’s a church.), and a Bride spoken of in the Bible, and that’s a church. There’s the three.

We’ll get in to them after while showing whose brides, [that’s w-h-o-s-e Bride,] those are, and how they’ve been rejected, …all about… if the Lord willing.

[67-5]  Now, the first thing I want to say before I forget… Do not fear Communism. Communism is only working in the hands of God. It’s an ungodly affair just like King Nebuchadnezzar was, but He sent him over there and chopped Israel out because of their disobedience.

And when the prophet told them what was coming and he told them to stay in their land and remember God, they wouldn’t do it; they went on anyhow, and the king come right out and got them anyhow, because he said he would.

…The reason… Communism rose up is because the illegitimacy of the Catholic church overseas in Russia. They took all the money and had everything hoarded up, and that’s all there was to it. And that’s exactly Communism.

Now what happened? Rome drove the people to Communism to take all of their wealth. See? And so they lost all of their wealth.

Now they’re trying to get it back through Communism. And what happens? The church comes right in and takes over again. They simply can’t win for losing.

Now let’s find out, let’s go to the Book of James, we’re going to go to the Book of James, the 5th chapter,

Pension funds and everything else is gone. NAFTA gave it all over there to these foreign countries, sure, watch the millions of jobs go down the drain, who’s behind it? Trilateralism, the Bilderbergers; the guys with the paper, but Rome’s got the gold.

Oh yes, gold is hard to burn. But paper went gone. Rome will endure but the Jews and their money is going to go down the drain. So will the Gentiles.

Well, I want to be out of here, brother/sister, because I could be called a race hater and a race baiter, right now because of what I believe.

That’s why they got conservancies going now. EPA. Never mind the spotted owl, never mind this, bring in the money, who cares if I… destroy my kids twenty generations from now? Give me the money. You…

No justice in the courts. The government doesn’t care two bits about you. You put those guys in there to do their own will.

As old… what you call him said, “There’s no difference between the American government and the Communists,” he said, “They get themselves elected and do what they want and you elect these guys and they do what they want.”

But watch what it says!

See, silver and gold, everything’s gone. And the Judge is here. This is the hour. See? Rome is going to take over. They’re going to own it all.

Rome forced Communism on the scene. Just like Israel brought on Babylonianism. We got a vicious circle, and it’s come full swing and we’re right now back to Revelation, chapter 13, where Rome is going to control it all.

And all of these guys in America and in Europe, all these birds here that James is talking about, they don’t care two bits about anything but the paper and Rome’s been grabbing the gold. When it’s all over she’s going to control the whole thing.

That’s as far as we’re going tonight, but we got two pages in, I guess, didn’t we? Four pages of it; that’s not too bad: I’ll try to read a little faster and get this moving a little faster but anyway, that’s what it is.

Let’s bow our heads and pray.

Heavenly Father, we’re going to the part of the service where foot-washing and communion and we pray Lord, You’ll be with us in the little exhortation of Your Word, Father, and getting deep down within people’s souls Lord.

Where they realize they can come to the place where they can stand there without a quiver, without a tremble, because this Word Lord, that’s been vindicated doesn’t have one thing to do with us or our conditions, or our emotions, or our ideas.

We are excluded even as the prophet said, “That’s what man always did. Every time You did something; man wanted to put something in to it, and he did.”

And it was the end of the man, because You are God and You do not change and I’m glad Lord.

And I only pray, Lord, if I can twist Your arm, it’s for one thing, “Change me, Oh God, and You remain steadfast, never changing Lord, and may I know it, believe it, and walk in it, because that’s the way it is anyway.”

And I would sooner be one of those people Lord, that can acknowledge what is real to receive it and forget eternally what is unreal and to walk in the light as You are in the light and have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son cleansing from all unrighteousness.

Help us, Lord, to believe and to believe correctly, that also our spirits may be one with You in all things, in Jesus’ Name, we pray, Amen.
