Unveiling Of God #02

Shall we pray.

Heavenly Father, we know this that Your Presence that came to the prophet where he saw You that day mirrored in the imagery of three great beautiful rainbows when it was said, “Jehovah of the old is Jesus of the new,” and there Lord, in that hour You gave him the authority to declare the Word, what he would say would come to pass and an act of creation came into being at that time.

So we know Lord, that this is that hour that all things are possible now that You’re here just the same exactly when Martha and Mary stood at the graveside of Lazarus and said she was so happy to know that he was there. Martha said, “You are… even now Lord, we know that something wonderful can happen.”

And You said, “I am the Resurrection and Life, and he that believeth in Me though he were dead yet shall he live, and whosoever that should believeth on Me should never perish. Do you believe this?” And she said, “Yea Lord, I know that’s right.” And he came forth from a rotted condition into a Resurrection Lord.

So we know we’re in that final hour this day and we are very happy Lord, to know that You’ve spoken to us, and may we so esteem You Lord, Your Presence and Your Word, Your Way and Your doings that we’ll live for You as we’ve never lived previously and we’ll give You the glory in Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now we’re going to continue a little while tonight in The Unveiling of God [64-06-14] and just for a little sort of a recap, the major principle in this message of the unveiling of God is that God uses different forms to manifest to reveal Himself to the people.

He used different forms and Brother Branham brought out the Pillar of Fire, he brought out the fact of a whirlwind and the earthquake and of course, the… he used the human form, also used angelic form, no doubt.

So the major principle then in this message of unveiling God is to let us know most assuredly that God uses different forms that fit the occasion, fit His purpose to reveal Himself to the people.

And the subject matter as I see it having read it and gone into it by myself is not meant to give us a definite in-depth revelation of His Person so much as it is meant to show us how He is revealed, that’s how He is revealed, and to accept and believe that revelation whether our understanding is perfect or not.

Now you know no matter how much one ever apprehends concerning God Himself there’ll always be a mystery. There’s no one can explain it perfectly. I don’t know how far Brother Branham himself went but he said he knew what he was saying whether we understood it or not.

And the ability to project or to give the understanding doesn’t reside of course in the prophet as much as resides in God who would give that understanding. Then how much understanding you and I have to have would again depend on perhaps our capacity.

And I don’t see here in this message where Brother Branham is to the utmost definitive in his preaching concerning Godhead Himself, but he’s giving us a revelation, of course, that is suitable to us.

So it’s not how perfectly we understand but more that we receive it as God Himself being revealed to us, now according to His own desires and ways. Now what I’m saying there is if you’re convinced that God is being revealed to you according to His own desires and ways, according to this hour that’s what you really are open to receive and should receive that it’s God being revealed.

Now as I say you might not catch it all. It might be difficult but that’s all right. The big thing is that you know that in this hour God is being revealed. See, that’s the thing that counts.

And, of course, Brother Branham said, “That this God is Jehovah of the Old Testament and He’s… Jesus of the New, and He’s the same yesterday, today and forever,” so consequently what He is essentially and how He is revealed is always the same.

Now there again, you understand that in dealing with us, God Himself doesn’t change, that’s essentially, basically what He is, He’s Spirit, attributes lie within Him, all the attributes and the way He is revealed does not change. Now, of course, that’s a stumbling block to many people.

Basically the prophet is the revealer; that never changes. God revealing Himself and using the prophet is Hebrews 13:8. You’ll find that more and more as we go along. All right, on page 8.

[49]  Notice, Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New Testament. See? He’s the same God, just changing His form. [Now that’s The Message of Grace [61-08-27] Brother Branham saw the three rainbows.]

[50]  Now, someone said the other day, a… Baptist minister out in Tucson, “How can you say that… Jesus and God would be the same Person?”

[51]  I said, “Well, it’s… very easy if you just let your own thinking get away, and think the Bible terms of it. They are the selfsame Being. God is a Spirit; Jesus is the body that He was veiled in. [Now that’s really very, very basically true. You wouldn’t get a better definition.] God is a Spirit; and Jesus is the body that He’s veiled in. See?” I said, “Like in my home. To my wife, I am her husband. And I have a young daughter, Rebekah, I am her father. And I have a grandson… his name is Paul, I am his grandfather. I am husband, father, and grandfather. [And that’s exactly true.]

And my wife has no claims on me as father or grandfather; she has claims on me alone as husband. And my daughter has no claims on me as husband or grandfather; she is my child. See? But yet all these three persons is the same person. See? [Then he explains:] That’s God: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, is just the dispensation claim.

Now you’ll notice that actually He’s all three at the same time though He doesn’t need to manifest each office or each attribute. It’s just like Brother Branham expresses himself, he said, “I’m husband. I’m father and I’m grandfather.”

And let’s face it he’s perfectly that and there’s no change there but… and he can’t get away from being that either. There’s no way he could annul it because that’s what he was. Yet he didn’t manifest all those positions except as it was warranted: dispensation claim.

Now Brother Branham was a dispensationalist but he wasn’t one of those that was dispensationalist like you know, Larkin, in the beginning they had innocence and then they had conscience and then they had human government, and then they had law and everything like that. That’s a lot of hogwash.

There’s three dispensations; Father, Son and Holy Ghost. And then you’ve got to know the Scripture to place them correctly which would only be revealed to you correctly through a prophet. All right.

[51]  “God is the same, the same God. God changed Himself, changes His form.”

Now notice that the phrase there, there’s two phrases. God changed Himself, changes His form. So what He’s doing in ‘changes His form’, He’s explaining what he said when he said ‘God changed Himself,’ because God cannot change Himself. He remains essentially the same.

Now he’s talking about revelation. See? God revealed and the revelation comes these various forms that are dispensational.

[52]  If you notice here in Philippians, He said, “Not thinking it robbery, took the form of a man.”

Now taking the form of a man, he’s talking about a change here; you’ve got to watch because this is not some mythological wizardry where the wizard can turn into a cat, you know, or a mouse or a horse or a dog or something. That’s not that at all. That’s mythological foolishness.

Then God doesn’t change. What He does He just simply puts a robe on. So when He took the form of a man He robed Himself in a human body or as previously He was in a Pillar of Fire or a whirlwind or a light, whatever what.

[53]  Now, the Greek word… for that form, I’ve been looking at it all day yesterday, trying to think out what it was, I find, come with this word… with the word… “en morphe.” It’s spelled e-n m-o-r-p-h-e. Looking in the Greek to find out what en morphe was… I may pronounce that wrong, but… reason I spell it, when… a tape is released, the people will [scholars will] know what I… mean by it.

He… that means that He changed Himself. He… came down. Now, the Greek word there means that, [Now listen carefully.] that “something that could not be seen, yet it was there, then it’s changed and the eye can catch it.”

Now what is the change? The change is not in the thing itself. The change is in whether it can now be seen or not seen. So something happens around what is there, so you can know from what is around, that’s… not the atmosphere but the environment and the conditions around it, you can know that what then is behind it because something’s got to catch your eye. See? The eye can catch it.

So evidently there is something there that’s… you can’t see. The eye cannot catch it and you know it’s there and then pretty soon there comes the evidence that… that which was not visible is really there. There’s some type of visibility or sensual way that by your senses you can apprehend it.

Like… now this illustration here is a little different from this up above it. He’s going to talk about Elisha at Dothan.

[54]  Like Elisha was, at Dothan. See, the… servant couldn’t see all those Angels around there, and God just changed; not brought the Angels down, [Now not that God changed] but God changed the seeing of the servant.

Now it doesn’t say there that He changed the objects but He changed the seeing. In other words, He gave this one perception such as like a vision. He allowed him to look into an area that the human eye cannot look into.

The speed of vibration is too fast. So you can’t see light, that angels are light; that is a type, so they have a very high type of vibration. Well, he was given the gift of God; the eye was speeded up evidently.

That’s like they say Ted Williams had the fastest eye in baseball. I still think he’s the greatest of the works myself. He could see a ball as soon as it left the pitcher’s hand right just… to where he was going to hit it, he could. Other people they have an eye span that goes zap, zap, zap. I guess his just was fantastic.

Well, that’s what you’re looking at. You’re looking at this man here was given something in the realm of beyond mankind, like animals can hear noises at a higher decibel than we can. And of course, then there’s noises… speeds of vibrations far beyond animals, but this is what happened here, you see, the change, he change…

And then he said,

[54]  And there was the mountains full of Angels, and fire, and horses of fire, and chariots of fire, all around His prophet. See? They… He changed the seeing. The… thing is already there.

So he’s letting you know in two different ways how that you can get a contact here that will help your physical because you’re not in the realm of the spirit; you know what I mean, purely spirit. Now back in Adam’s day when before he had a robe of flesh on, I imagine this was… you know, this was just every day, you know.

[55]  So, that what I’m trying to say, that God that always was is here.

Now he’s letting you know that you can’t see Him, but He’s here and when God begins to operate through the role and what He’s chosen to reveal Himself in and through you can know that He’s here now. Do you follow me?

[55]  The only thing He did when He became man, He changed His mask. [Now he’s talking about today.] See, too? This is en morphe, He… changed Himself to what He was to what He is, or His mask, another act.

So you see though the words are disjointed he’s still very clear that God per se has not changed, no way shape and form. It’s just that he is surrounded Himself in such a way that now He can begin to project in the manner that He wants to project in.

So nothing happened to God per se but the office requires an action, perhaps a different action from previously though the same God.

Now Brother Branham goes on.

[56]  Like… a great drama. [Here’s right where he gets into the technical part.] As I was speaking this morning, kind of catching up on this Shakespeare. It’s been a long time. But when Shakespeare wrote the… drama,… for the King… of England, with… the character of Macbeth. See, Shakespeare did not believe in witches;… in the play, but the king did believe in witches, so Shakespeare had to include witches. See?… now, in order to do this, they change the cast.

[57]  Becky here, in Carmen, [He’s going to illustrate now about Macbeth by using Carmen.] Becky here, in Carmen, they acted that in the… school where she just graduated a few weeks ago. [That girl’s going on forty isn’t she?] Now, maybe one person played three or four parts. In order to do that, he… changed his mask. Sometimes he came out… as this character;… the next time he came out, he’s another character. But it’s the same person all the time.

In other words, doing the things that fit the role and being in the… what you might call the description of the role, you know, you would hardly call or have a Salome come out dressed in cowboy boots and a big hat and chaps and spurs. She had seven veils, right? So you know what I mean, you couldn’t… the character, everything must… everything must be in the… role.

See, now you get… let your minds go and begin to see this hour in which you’re living, the Appearing of the Son of man, Christ Appearing that the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a Shout, that’s the Appearing, right on down here now and we’re right in the midst of what is going on and this is an elucidation or a description so we enter into what what’s going on with the Lord present.

And there’s got to be a mask, there’s got to be something in here that reveals Him. That’s why I said a while ago the subject matter to me in this message is not the in-depth revelation of Him but it’s how it comes and you’ve been seeing the real thing, believe it. In other words, get in or get out. See?

Now let’s see how we get in or we get out. See, that’s what we want to look at. See are you on Bible ground… are we on Bible ground being the people we’re being? Well, we better be.

[57]  Now it’s the same person all the time.

[58]  …that’s God. He changed Himself from… a Pillar of Fire, to become a Man. Then changed Himself from that back in the Spirit again, that He might dwell in man. God acting in man what He really was. [Now this is back to God in Jesus Christ.] Jesus Christ was God acting in… a Man.

[Now he tells you what the complex was; Jesus Christ. Who was he? God acting in a Man. That’s what he tells you.]… now acting in… a Man, in a Man, in a Man. That’s what He was. He… changed from the Pillar of Fire, [as He changed His robe. didn’t He?] and then had come in, which was a veil in the wilderness that hid God from Israel.

[That Pillar of Fire was with Israel. And who was in the Pillar of Fire? God was in the Pillar of Fire.] Moses saw the shape of His body, but really He was hidden all the time behind this Pillar of Fire, which was the Logos that went out from God.

[Well, that’s not too hard to understand. Whatever came out from God, God just used it into… in a form and God could be in that because what else would God do but produce from God Himself that very form. Okay.]

[59]  Now we find here, now since Pentecost, God is not acting in man,… now He is acting through man. [Now you’ve got to watch that one because when you’re talking about that, you’re not talking about everybody who is born again, you’re talking about the prophet.] See? He was acting in a Man then, Jesus. Now He is acting through man that He has chosen for this purpose.

Now you see we’re talking about revealing. We’re talking about a mask. Now look, you don’t just grab this and say, “Hallelujah, that’s the body,” that’s a lot of hogwash; that’s not the body. This is a certain individual in the body. See, you’ve got to watch that.

You don’t ever… anybody kid you there’s a group revelation. A group revelation is no revelation; it’s a muddle. Remember, the African Prime Minister said the truth, he said, “If Moses had been a committee the children of Israel would still be in Egypt.” Now there’s no such thing as two people sitting down and ever getting a revelation. Now you might compare notes; you can both be dead wrong.

[59]  Now He is acting through man that He has chosen for this purpose. [What purpose? To be a mask and a revealer.] God, in the form of man, He changed Himself from the form of… God, to a form of man. [Well, what’s a form of God? Spirit. What’s a form of man? Flesh. Okay. Spirit’s invisible; flesh is visible, so God gets a visibility through flesh.]

Now let’s go a little further. He’s working his case up.

[60]  He came in three names, three sons’ names. He came in the… name of the Son of… man, the Son of David, and the Son of God; three sons’ names. [Now that’s… we must know that because this has to do with the mask. This has to do with the revelation, has to do with the role, position.]

[61]  Now, He came first in the… name of a Son of man, because He was a Prophet.

Now there you are, anytime there’s anything to do with Son of man, Prophet; now you just… you move from that you blow it. Now come on, you move from there you blow it. You’ve lost your revelation. You’re not following God. He’s no longer Hebrews 13:8 to you. Now you’re in pretty sad condition. Now you say, “Just a minute, brother.” No, don’t just a minute me; you watch… come along here see.

[61]  Now, Jehovah… called Himself… called Ezekiel, the prophet, “son of man, what seest thou?” Jesus never referred to Himself as Son of God;

Now it’s true He never did but He did. Now when He referred to Himself as Son of God he was placing His identity that God was His Father and he came by virgin birth. Now there are places where he called himself the Son of God.

They hated it because in the Wuest translation, now he called himself Wuest, that’s what Dr. Woost called himself, Wuest, because it sounds better. I guess they don’t call it Fruehauf, they call it Fruehauf; anyway you want to pronounce it you feel like is okay.

But Dr. this… Dr. Wuest anyways as he liked to call himself, he has said that in his expanded translation that Jesus was hated because he referred to God as his Father in a way which God was not the Father to anybody else. Nobody else had God as a Father like Jesus had. That’s true. See?

[61]  Jesus never referred to Himself as Son of God; [which Brother Branham means across the board he did not.] He referred to Himself as Son of man, [which was across the board, that was the title that he went by all the time really.] because the… Scriptures cannot be broken. [Now watch his little statement.] the… Scripture cannot be broken. [Now he had to call himself the Son of man.] There can be nothing broken in the Scripture. Every Word must be so. Every Word must be so. That’s the way… I believe it. That’s the way It’s got to be; not because I believe it, but because It’s the Word of God.

Now remember, Deuteronomy 18, Moses said Jesus would be a prophet; the Messiah would be a prophet. All right. That’s Son of man, Son of man is always a prophet: prophet’s always Son of man. Now that’s a simple thing and our theologians don’t like it. Well, we don’t like the theologians… what they like anyway.

I don’t like their breakfast, their breakfast cereal; I like my own because it’s just like a bunch of puffed wheat. All puff and no wheat. We don’t have a bit of puff; it’s all wheat, the finest of the wheat. That’s… the Bible tells us that.

[62]  Now if you notice…

Now watch he talks about this changing one Word. He’s going to have maybe two or three paragraphs giving you an insight of not changing the Word what It can do against you to bring you to the place of where you’re getting the definitive revelation of God. Do you follow me? I’m coaching you ahead of time so… get you lined up.

[62]  Now if you notice in the beginning, one Word, page one in the Bible, Genesis 1, we find out… the whole… all the sickness, all… sorrow, all… heartache, and everything that’s ever happened to human beings, came because one person disbelieved one Word, caused all of this. That’s the first of the Bible. In the last of the Bible, Revelation 22, the same God said, “Whosoever shall take one Word out of This, or add one word to It.”

What’s he telling you? It’s the end time right now and the same thing is going to happen if you don’t watch out and it has to do with revelation and it has to do with three sons’ names. I don’t care what you’re thinking; I’m telling you what I believe this prophet’s saying and I can prove it to you. See? Okay.

One Word in Genesis brought all the plagues, right? One Word off will bring the plagues at the end time. So you better get your thinking lined up, not your own thoughts now, but God’s thoughts by a prophet.

[63]  So therefore why just take the little thing like I’m going… someone always going on to me about… women bobbing their hair. Now, to me, as long as she does that, I don’t care how saintly she does and how much she knows, she is still wrong!

She wears shorts and these clothes like that, I don’t care what she does, how… she can sing, how well she can preach, whatever she can do, what kind of a life she lives, it’s still that one Word broke. See? See, it’s got to be every Word. Not a sentence; a Word, one word! So, the Bible is no private interpretation. It must be Word by Word the way It’s written. We must believe That.

[64]  And not only believe It, but live It. If we don’t live It, then we don’t believe It; we just say we do. Like I… Basing back to what I said, those disciples could not explain It, [Now listen! See?] but they believed It, anyhow, and they made their confession and lived… it.

Now if you don’t know what is being said how can you live it? Well, there’s some of the things there’s just no way you can live them; you live them on the very grounds that you are that living Word because you believe what was said. That’s in your heart.

And yet you could die for it. See, persecution always comes over revelation. That’s why people are so messed up in their thinking whether it’s communism in the church; it’s not. It’s the Church in the Bride.

God doesn’t need any politics. Fap! That’s a separate kingdom. He set his own ministers over that garbage tin. His own kingdom He died for in the form of a human being, shed His blood; that whole kingdom is going to get revived, restored. He doesn’t lose one grain of ground even. See? God so loved the world.

That’s God’s cosmos He loved and bled for and it’s going to restore, brother/sister. Don’t let anybody kid you. He’s going to wipe this other cosmos plumb off with their germs. He’s going to put those flames up there a thousand miles high and get rid of every germ. Can’t wait. Can’t wait. Man, I’m plagued enough with these yeast problems; all this junk I’ve got.

I could have this burned out right now. If the Holy Ghost wants to do a good job; I’m wide open by the grace of God I hope I am. Sure, you believe it. You live it. In other words, it’s your life.

[64]  When all the rest of them walked away from It, they stayed with It!

What did they stay with? “Eat my flesh, drink my blood. You came from above, you’re down here, you’re going to go back up. We believe it. You speak plainly. Hallelujah!”

“Well,” they say, “You’re nuttier than he is.”

“Oh well, we don’t mind. Sink or swim, live or die, we’re sold.” That’s the way you’ve got to be. All the others things are very good but if you’re not in that group, it doesn’t matter how nice you sing, and how holy you are and how good you are and how many souls you win to Christ and all this and that:

what are you winning them to? Remember Brother Branham said, “The seed was in Phillip;” being born again of the incorruptible spora, not the corruptible stuff. I could say some things here but I don’t dare really because I think I’d be muddled up saying them and I’d muddle you up too because I can’t get the bottom myself.

[64]  …they stay… they stayed with It! [They just got real staying power once you let it get root.] They believed It! That’s the way we do. That’s the way you’ve got to do it. No matter what anybody else does, we believe It and then we act upon It. If you don’t do it, then you don’t believe It.

In other words, anything that lies in there that you can follow, you follow. Now there’s no way you can follow revelation of God; you follow what God’s Word says when you get a revelation because you love Him. But you know what I mean, let’s get this.

Now remember, he’s revealing God. Now if He’s being revealed, Hebrews 13:8 which is Revelation, I beg your pardon, Genesis 18, Acts 8, also right back to… we’ll get it later, Revelation 10, Malachi 4, all of those things there, if you really believe that then whatever else he says you’ll do. All right.

[65]  Notice how… He came, He had to come as Son of man, because the Holy Scripture said… He would, God would raise up a Prophet to them. So He could not come calling Himself the Son of God, [that’s across the board] because it wasn’t that dispensation. [That came after the Resurrection. Romans 1, right?]

He was the Son of man prophesying, to fulfill, and revealing to them all the things that He had… done, [That’s back as Jehovah, doing now and would do]… typed what He was. Then He was on earth as Son of man.

Now remember, He’s Son of man today to the Gentiles in the form of the Spirit. Right? Now let’s go back again with Brother Branham to the time on earth.

[66]  Look at that Syrophoenician woman run to Him, and said, “Thou Son of David, have mercy on me!” He never so much as raised His head. She had no claims on Him as Son of David, she was a Gentile.

Now we’re getting to some of these things that Brother Branham said, “You’ve got to say the right word.” So she said the wrong word. Now if she’d have said, “Son of man, I recognize the prophet,” that would have cut some ice. Right? Sure, should have.

[66]  She had no claims on Him as Son of David. She was a Gentile. No more than my daughter has claims on me as husband, or, my wife as daughter. Yet, she is my daughter and my wife, she is my daughter in the Gospel. But, earthly, she has no right to call me a… father. See?

[But] now notice, this Gentile woman had no claims on Him as Son of David. But blind Bartimaeus did, see, he was a Jew. Now, then He came as Son of man.

[67]  You have to know these words and these things.

All right, he’s talking about revealing. So no matter what you thought you saw that revealed God through the senses there’s another sense that you have to have brought into play which is your sixth sense of faith revelation and it will be based on the Word.

[67]  You have to know these words and these things. [Notice, words and things. You have to know the Bible, you have to know how the Bible works. You got to know what you’re looking at.] Look at Hattie Wright that time, when the Third Pull.

Well, now listen, the unveiling of God and the Third Pull and the three names have a lot to do with this hour or you’re not getting God unveiled. Now I’m just reading what he said here, now you can do what you want with my understanding of what he is saying and I’m open for criticism but I doubt anyone will prove me wrong because I’m right. I know I’m right. Now he said here,

[67]  Look at Hattie Wright that time, when the Third Pull. [And he’s talking about knowing the right words concerning the unveiling which is to give you a knowledge.] Of all the everything, that woman said the right thing. You’ve got to say that right word, the right thing to God.

Now if this is all… if these are not contingent and a part of each other then the prophet is doing a great disfavor. He is mixing goose eggs and duck eggs and we’re going to get a duck-a-goo or something. You can’t do it or he’d be guilty of a breach of conduct of what we would expect from a prophet.

This would even be a breach of the lowest type of education when there’s no such thing as a person describing two things and then expecting to hear it understanding what’s going on.

So you see the picture is the unveiling of God. And he’s letting you know that when he was in the flesh, when that woman talked to him and addressed him under a wrong ‘son’ title or name it didn’t work. He just ignored her. Now he’s telling you that Hattie Wright used the right word. It brings results.

And what we’re trying to get across to you in very plain English is this; that this Elohim is His own prophet, and He is here and has been here as Son of man, and if you don’t know that you’ll not get anywhere as Bride; it’s impossible.

Now people will say, “Brother Vayle, I think it’s something else.” Well, you may think all you want but the prophet said, “One word,” and he said, “One change wrought havoc and brought the plagues.”

Now then if we go off of the revelation of the Son of man in Luke 17:30 there’s nothing going to hit you but the plagues. Then tell me this is not important? You better have your revelation lined up. Now this may sound very crass at this moment but you better hang on to what I am saying because this is the way it is.

[68]  Notice now, He came first as the Prophet, and they crucified Him. His own crucified Him. He came as the Son of man.

And they say at this hour He will be crucified to themselves afresh. Well, how does He get crucified? Under prophet: He does not get crucified as Son of God. You cannot crucify the Holy Ghost but God gave His Son to us in the form of the Holy Ghost, Son of man dispensation, at this very moment. So there’s your Appearing.

Are you a part of it by recognizing it? Or are you with those that twiddle their thumbs and say, “Ah, you know, He’s been here all the time, this time, all that.” Come on; let’s get down to the nitty-gritty where the prophet was. Let’s get down to where the things are moving. Not some abstract thing, you think come along and just like a revolving door, sashay your way through, ricochet through as Brother Branham said.

If you’re a bunch of billiard balls you’ll crow them off the table, sure. I’m not a billiard ball. I’m not being shot for a game. We’re getting ready to be taken up. See?

[69]  [now]… Son of God. He was the Holy Spirit, Son of God. He lived through the church ages as Son of God [dividing Himself].

[68]  Notice now, He came first as the Prophet, [Okay, we read that.]

[70]  Now, in the Millennium, He’ll be Son of David, sitting on the Throne of His father, David. He is the Son of David… [All right. You have to understand Luke 17:30 which you do.]

[71]  Now, you remember, between the Son of God… in the Laodicea church age, they put Him out. And in Luke, He said that He would be revealed again as Son of man, the Prophet, fulfilling the rest of it.

The Prophet fulfilling the rest of it. What’s it? I imagine that’s Isaiah 61, I think; if my memory serves me right. If it doesn’t we’ll find it someplace else. All right, reading from… he read this from Luke.

So now you’ve got Him here to bring vengeance which is Judge and at the same time to comfort those that mourn which is the Bride because you know she’s like a dove and the dove mourns. She’s a dove. She’s a mourning dove and she’s mourning for her lover because they’re not united to this time physically because remember, she’s still a physical person.

But now in the Spirit she knows that He is here; she’s seen Him revealed. See? And so we have Him, have Him here vengeance and vindicating the judgments of God are in the earth but the Bride is vindicated. Now how’s it done? He is the Judge because He is the Son of man.

Now the prophet then axiomatically he’s got to be judge, over here that’s a little bit different. Right there he’s everything. Here He’s specialized but all the rest is still there. So, all right, follow me? All right, the rest of it.

[71]  The Scriptures tie perfectly together. Son of man, Son of God, Son of David. What was it? It’s the same God all the time, just changing His form, en morphe. He just changed it. It’s a great drama to Him. He is acting it out. [All right.]

[72]  He came as Son of man, the Prophet. [Did] exactly. Even that little woman in all of her sin, there at the well, she recognized Him. [One little simple sign she recognized Him. See?] She said, “We know… Messiah’s coming, which is called the Christ, that’s what He’ll do.” See, she recognized because she was a predestinated seed.

[Okay. What is it that gives the people the power to recognize? The seed in them. See?] Then she… Where, the rest of them didn’t recognize It. They had nothing to recognize with. They were in sin, to begin with. [Okay.]

They had nothing to recognize with. What was it? Jesus said to the Pharisees, “You’ve got no place in you for the Word.” So when the Word struck, Phttt! just ricocheted, bunch of billiard balls. That’s right. Ever see how the man comes in and breaks up all the balls in the triangle? Takes the old cue out and polish up real good and gets ready and takes the ball and as hard as he can he hits that pile of balls in there. See them all scattered.

Well, the Lord comes in maybe the great master cueman comes in the odd time with a little Word, it sure scatters the people. But there’s always somebody going to go in the pocket for this, you know. They’ll get in there. He’ll take you up and pick them up, sure, never mind the illustration; it sounds kind of corny but they’ll do for the time being.

[72]  They were in sin, to begin with. [unbelief, See?]

[73]  For, His acts, He changes His form.

Now he’s telling you for the acts that He’s going to do He changes His form. See the form He appeared in up here? Judge! Now Brother Branham said, “That’s the literal scientific picture of Him.” There He is.

People say, “Well, I think you could just make that say anything.” Well, fine and dandy we don’t care what anybody says, we’re convinced; you know we got no problem. You know, they go their way, we go ours. We’re going up just as sure as we’re alive, we’re in Him.

[73]  …changes His form. Then He came the form of the Son of man. [All right. He was the Son of man then He went to Son of God. Now] For the reformers’ age, Wesley, Luther, all down through, and then we find out they got it so [bungled] up, [He said, “bundled up;” I think he means bungled up.] just like Israelites did, till when He does appear in the last days, in the Pentecostal age, as the Holy Spirit, they reject It.

So now He comes right down, Holy Spirit and He’s got to have a mask, otherwise, if he’s not made visible somehow then how are they going to reject? So He appears. It says He appears.

“I wasn’t the one he said that appeared down there, I was the only one standing there when He appeared.” Now just keep with me now. This may… this is going to do you good as your life goes on in Jesus Christ.

This is that simple bread and butter stuff, you know, we’re not out here talking about this thing and that pretty thing with butterfly wings and all that. We’re getting down where it is, brother/sister, tonight.

This is the fooler right here. This simple stuff is what fools everybody. Yup, too many things to do to listen maybe, but if you listen now, you listen carefully.

[73]  …they rejected It. They did the same thing Israel did. And what does He do now? Return as Son of man. And then, from that, Son of David.

In other words, no more Son of God, no more baptism, no more nothing, you’ve had it. You turn this one down it’s all over. See? You get the plagues added, then the tribulation, then die. Okay.

Now listen.

[73]  And see how close we are? Son of man, Son of David, Son of God. He’s revealed in the last days as Son of man, according to Malachi 4, all the rest of the prophecies pertaining to this hour.

Now he starts in Malachi 4 and says all the prophecies pertaining. Now where does he get the basic? Luke 17:30 in a Sodom condition just before the fire falls and the Son comes in the form of true human flesh.

Now this is not true human flesh at this point. This is fulfilling prophecies under the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, to be crucified, Son of man, Prophet, finishing up what he didn’t do when He opened the book and then he closed it. Now It’s open again.

And remember when the book is open it says, “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book for the time is at hand.” And it tells you it’s all over which is the very same thing that Jesus said upon Calvary, “It is finished.” Now after the Son of man; it’s over. See?

There’s no way that you’re going to get anything back. There’s just judgment pointing. So, all right.

Let’s go to Malachi 4 because that’s what he said to do. We take our time tonight. We won’t get very far but then that’s all right. Now,

Now what’s he talking about? Prophet! What is Son of man? Prophet! So okay, there’s got to be a prophet at the end time because… Now there’s got to be a prophet at the end time because remember He’s here in the form of the Holy Spirit and so therefore, there’s got to be a mask.

There’s got to be some way He breaks through and God does not reveal Himself to individuals that comprise a group. It’s revealed to individuals in a group who have over them by the sovereignty of God a prophet that He can deal with. So you see what he’s saying here?

In other words, he said, “When the hearts are turned back I will not smite at that time but after that time I will smite when all the hearts are turned,” and that’s exactly Genesis 18, “Will You the Judge of all the earth destroy the righteous with the wicked?”

He said, “By no means, I will not destroy one righteous with any wicked.” And what was it? Judge! Prophet! See? Now you know all the typing that Brother Branham does there. All right.

[73]  [Now] no more dealing with the church after He…They put Him out; on the outside, knocking at the door. Some predestinated Seed in there, yet. He must get to them. [Okay.]

Let’s take one more Scripture and that’s back in Revelation 10.

So it tells you the whole mystery is going to be finished with a prophet. So now you’ve got Malachi 4 here, “I am here with My prophet.” Now that’s what He’s saying. If He’s not saying that well I don’t know what He’s saying and personally I wouldn’t care much what he’s saying; that’s not what he’s saying because that’s what he said all along.

And a prophet cannot have two stories coming out of his mouth. Everything must run in continuity like over sixteen hundred years, over forty people gave us this Word we’ve got right here. I think it’s about forty, everything in continuity.

[74]  And God, in man, [Now God in what man? Not you and me,] has emptied Himself. Joel 2:28,

Now we can look at this God in man has emptied Himself so that no more is going to get the Holy Ghost. Or you can look in the last day here and you can view it as a prophet.

Let’s go back to paragraph 59, just a second, I think it is.

[59]  Now [he find] since Pentecost, God is not acting in man, He’s acting through man. He was acting in Man then, Jesus. Now He’s acting through man [Okay.]

[74]  …God, in man, has emptied Himself. Joel 2:28, we find out, that He said, “I will pour out, in the last days, My Spirit.” Now, if you’ll notice the word there,

Now I can tell you what, to me there’s a little bit of a problem here because I really believe that Brother Branham looked down at his notes and he stopped his thought right there in half of paragraph 74, and I’ll tell you why, because he said, “Now if you notice the word there, Greek.” The Old Testament is not in Greek; it’s in Hebrew.

So he’s looking at his notes and he’s going back to Philippians. So evidently that first portion of 74 belongs to 73. And he’s telling you what you see in Ephesians. It runs out. So therefore, there’s nothing left but the Holy Ghost Himself, and He’s turned down because He comes in the ministry of the Son of man and they can’t discern, they can’t take it, so therefore, they address Him wrong.

Now let’s just stop a second here and remember there’s a new name coming up. Brother Branham said, “They squalled, they hollered, they beat everything this way, that way, and they yell and they can’t get anywhere because,” he said, “the name of Jesus, like it’s kind of wore out.” Now look, as long as there is salvation that Name has got to stick. We all know that.

Now he said, “That new name would be revealed under the Thunders.” He also said, “Hattie Wright said the right thing talking about names, Son of man, Son of God,” and so on. Right? He said categorically, “and that would be under the Seals” See? “under the Third Pull using that name.”

So what I’m trying to get across to you is this, not that I believe the new name is Son of man, I’m just telling you this, if you can’t get that far don’t even look for a new name. And I’m not trying to be mean with anybody because I’m not looking for anything, period.

I’m just staying and waiting where I’m at, under Son of man knowing the Holy Ghost baptism has literally run out and we’re to the Holy Ghost Himself, and that gift that God has given, His Son again in the form of the Holy Ghost, to be crucified unto us, Son of man, that’s the way it is and He is here at the head of the Church. How He came into manifestation is His business.

But I say this, what’s coming down the road? And that new name could come when Brother Branham comes back, I don’t know. I haven’t got a clue. But my clue is this from what he is saying here, if we don’t understand and have this forget about a new name.

That becomes Latter rain kind of stuff, spiritual leap-frog again, if you want to know, Lloyd, that’s what it amounts to. Oh yeah, I can understand how they do that… it’s really ridiculous isn’t it? All right.

Let’s read a new paragraph.

[74]  Now, if you notice the word there, Greek word. I may have this wrong, but the one I could find… You have to watch the word. [You see?]

[75]  The English [word] means double meanings. Just like the word we say, “god.” “God created the heavens and earth,” Genesis 1. But now, in the Bible, It said, “In the beginning Elohim.” Now, Elohim the English calls “god,” but it really wasn’t… Elohim… Anything could be god, to the word god; you can make an idol a god; you can make a piano a god; you can make anything a god.

That’s right, you know. Make it your god. In other words, where your prime desire is, what you put your life on.

[76]  But it isn’t so in the word Elohim; It means, “the self-existing One.”

It also means, not just that but it means ‘the Strong One bound by an oath’, so therefore, every time God has got to at a juncture bring His Word to pass He comes right down bound by that oath as if He would raise His hand, swears and says, “Look, this is it.” It’s being done right today, okay.

[76]  So, the word ‘Elohim’, means “He that always existed.” God can mean anything. See the difference in the word?

[77]  Now, when It said here that He emptied Himself, or poured out, now, we think like this, that, He [would] “vomit [out],” the English word emptied, or poured out see… went something… out of Him that was different from Him. But the word Kenos [2756] in the Greek, does not mean that He would “vomit up,” or [something like that] some… His arm went off, or… eye went out, another person.

Now he’s letting you know, look it, it’s not another person, that’s what Servetus said also, he said, “When the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep,” he said, “we are not expected to believe it was another spirit; it was that One Himself that moved.” See? One God.

[78]  …that is, He changed Himself, He “poured Himself into,”

Now you see the pouring out into human beings is over in this end time; there will be no more full of the Holy Ghost. This is that hour. And at that hour you watch what God’s going to do with the Church.

[78]  …He changed Himself, He “poured Himself into,” [Amen!], into another mask, [At least he’s talking about the incarnation back there.] into another form. Not another person went out of Him, called the Holy Spirit, but It was He Himself. You get it? He Himself poured Himself into the people.

[Now He didn’t pour Himself on all the people.] “Now Christ in you!” How beautiful, [Poured Himself into the people.] “Christ in you!” How beautiful, how wonderful, to think it, God pouring Himself into the human being, into the believer. Poured out! It was a part of His drama, to do so. God, all the fullness, all the Godhead bodily was in this Person, Jesus Christ. [It doesn’t say it was in the Bride. The Bride does not become God, no way shape and form.] He was God, and God alone.

Not a third person or a second person, or a first person;… the Person, God veiled in human flesh. [Now he goes on.]

[79]  first Timothy 3:16, “Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; for God, Elohim, ” capital G-o-d, in the Bible, refer it back, anybody it refers to, in the original, It said, “Elohim. In the beginning, Elohim.” See? “And Elohim; without controversy great is the mystery of Elohim; for Elohim was made flesh, and we held Him.”

Now remember, he doesn’t say, great is the mystery of God; he said, “Great is the mystery of godliness,” and yet he’s using this in the form of the mystery of God because godliness does have to do with God. Let’s face it. It’s an intrinsic quality, an attribute.

So that’s what we find over there in the… Book of Revelation 10:7, the mystery of God should be finished. He’s talking about it. Who’s going to do it? A prophet. Now let’s watch this.

[79]  Without controversy great is the mystery of Elohim; for Elohim was made flesh, and we held Him.” Elohim veiled in human flesh! The great Jehovah that covered all space, time, and everywhere, was made man. We handled Him, Elohim. “In the beginning, Elohim. And Elohim was made flesh, dwelt among us.” [All right, you just keep that in mind for what we were reading… going back in the back here.]

[80]  What? This is His way, the parts of His drama. That’s the way He’s to act it out, His way of revealing Himself to us as some different person. We are mortal, and He knows that. And we only understand as mortal. We only know as mortal. We only know as our senses will let us, and the rest of it we have to believe by faith.

In other words, you can get so far even here and you’re going to have to take the rest by faith. You might not understand; I might not, but we understand an unveiling has been going on.

The apocalypses’ has been taking place and through the Appearing, and remember, not only in signs and wonders but He Himself as taken by two pictures. See? Can’t get away from it. And who’s back of it all? God with a prophet!

[80]  Now we have to say there is a God, whether we see Him or not, we believe it anyhow. See? Whether there is or not, we still believe it because God said so.

Now that’s like a malapropos of some kind there because you know something like… “How can I yump when I’ve got nothing to stood on?” If there isn’t any God how He’s going to talk to His Son? It’s a little bit twisted but you get the point here. There is a God and man had better begin to be responsible.

[81]  Like Abraham, could not see that son, no sign, no pregnancy of… Sarah, not even any menstrual period or anything, but yet God said so. All hope, even her… womb was dead, and his life in him was gone, and the… stream of his life had dried up, and her… life had dried up within her.

“And yet he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise, knowing that God was able to perform anything He said He would do.” That’s the way we got to believe that Word today. How is it going to be? I don’t know. God said it’s going to be that way, and that settles it.

Now he’s talking about the unveiling of the mighty God. He’s talking about the Appearing. He’s talking about you and I having an understanding. He’s bringing this about Abraham, just before the promised son came. How is it all going to come? We don’t know how all things are going to take place.

We don’t have every single answer as though we can analyze and put in a cute little cubical and say, “Hey, one, two, three, four, five, six,” but you believe it because it’s going to come to pass anyway. See, just like in Abraham’s day.

[82]  Who is this great unseen Person? Who is This that Abraham saw in visions? Right at last, though, He was manifested in flesh, before the son came, God Himself came to Abraham in the form of a man, at the end time. Manifested!

He saw Him in a little Light one time; he saw Him in visions; he heard His Voice; many revelations, but just before the promised son, he saw Him in the form of a man, and talked to Him, and fed Him meat and drink. See? Notice, God Himself veiled in human flesh.

What was that? The incarnation. What’s the next thought? Hebrews 1:1 God in the prophets, period.

[83]  That was a part of His way. This is the way… He manifests Himself to us, manifests the Eternal Word, God, Jehovah made flesh. Like in… John 1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and… In the beginning was Elohim, and Elohim… became the Word, and the Word was Elohim. And the Word was made Elohim.”

Now you know that sounds kind of funny. It sounds like he got things backwards. I don’t think he did. Because Jesus went back to being a spirit form in a Pillar of Fire; there’s your Elohim again, from Logos. The Logos became flesh but now not, it’s the Pillar of Fire back to Elohim.

That’s what it was. But just before the destruction, remember, God used a human form, and that’s the thing people don’t like is God in the prophets because they think it takes something from Jesus. They think the prophet’s trying to make himself somebody. They think it denigrates God.

It doesn’t; it glorifies God because that’s God’s way of doing it. Jesus had His run-in because he was a man. “Thou man, maketh thyself God. Get out of here. We’ll crucify you,” and so they did.

[83]  And the Word was made Elohim.” See? It’s the same thing, just unfolding. [Unfolding is a word.]

[84]  Like the attribute, see, it is in God. An attribute is your thought. God in the beginning, the Eternal, He wasn’t even a God. He was the Eternal. He wasn’t even God; God is an object of worship, or something. See? [See] He wasn’t even that. He was Elohim, the Eternal. But in Him were thoughts, He wanted to become material. what did He do? Then He spoke a Word, and the Word was materialized.

That’s the whole picture, from Genesis to Revelation. There is nothing wrong. It’s Elohim materializing so He can be touched, felt. And in the Millennium, there will be Elohim sitting on the Throne,

Who is that? That’s Son of David. But He’s not Son of David now, although He is Son of David. Elohim is Elohim. Everything is in Elohim, your life, your breath; every time a flea bats its eye, billions and billions, and trillions and every different snowflake, trillions of tons, every one different, every leaf on every tree different: Elohim.

[84]  …in the Millennium there is Elohim sitting on the Throne, see, that’s right, with all of His subjects around Him, and He predestinated before the foundation of the world.

That He predestinated before the foundation of the world. See? When’s that going to happen? When the Spirit that’s in the midst of us becomes incarnated to us.

[85]  Like a man building chimes or making chimes, the molder. Each bell’s got to ring different from the other. The same materials, but so much iron, steel, brass, to make it give the “ting.” [You know, the sound.]

[86]  That’s the way God did. He bred this one to that one, to this one to that one, to this one to that one, till He got exactly what He wanted. That’s how He came down. [Sure, that’s how He got His body He wanted through the chemical factory, processes. See?] That’s the way He came down.

God unveiled Himself in a Pillar of Fire down through the prophets, then into the Son of God, which He was God. [Sure. Sure, He was. He’s just God of the flesh. Not the flesh, it’s God. That’s what counts.] See, the same God bringing out exactly, from perfection [from] perfection, glory to glory. That’s the way the Church goes.

So, the revelation is going to take the Church from glory to glory. What a glory this will be. Luther’s glory faded. Wesley’s faded. Pentecost faded. This will not fade. This is going to bring literally an immortal people to meet the immortal God in the air. He’ll be incarnated to us. The Church is going right on from revelation to revelation, clouds of glory.

[87]  Notice, through the ages, the same way, by His prophet, Notice, through the ages, the same way, by His prophet, [Not He Himself the Prophet, although that’s true, by His prophet.] He has revealed Himself. [How? By His prophet. They weren’t] exactly prophets, they were gods. [That’s right. For He said.]

He said so. For, what they spoke was God’s Word. They were the flesh that God was veiled in. They were gods. Jesus said, Himself, “How can you condemn Me when I say I’m the Son of God, and your own law says that they to whom the Word of the Lord comes… they’re gods?” See?

[88]  So it was God formed in a man called a prophet. And the Word of the Lord came to this man, so it wasn’t the prophet; the prophet was the veil, but the Word was God. The man’s word won’t act like that.

Now that’s the prophet or God in human flesh. When He says it and it happens and man can’t do it. Now that’s God manifested in flesh. That’s the Word living Itself amongst us. That is the Son of man revealed. Now He is the Son of man and He’s been revealed and this is that key that people don’t want. See?

So therefore, as I said awhile ago, and two messages now concerning this and we’ll quit with this, that you and I don’t understand everything about Godhead per se is not the point because we might not understand everything. It could boggle our minds but that we understand that He has been revealed and we’re in it this much and perfectly in it that much. We’ll make it.

But as Brother Branham said to Billy Paul, signifying a much greater amount; “They can be that much and miss it,” because they get messed up on who Brother Branham is and who God is. And when you make Brother Branham God except to the people in the form of a representative, you are way off your beat. See? You can’t do it.

[88]  [Now] the man’s word won’t act like that. See what I mean? It cannot act in that manner. But potentially it was God. [Now Brother Branham said, “Potentially means not the real thing but it’s coming to it.” Sure, it’s going to bring us right to Him.] See, He was that Word of God in the form of a man, called “a man.” [That’s Jesus was back there.] Notice, He never changed His nature, only His form. Hebrews 13:8, said, “…the same yesterday, today, and forever.” So that He does not… did not change His nature when He came.

He is always that Prophet, all down through the age, same thing, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word. See? He cannot change His nature, but He changed His form. Hebrews 13:8, “He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever.” He… changed His mask.

What was His mask in this hour? William Branham, Elijah, prophet of God. But the Word was God; it wasn’t William Branham. That’s not William Branham above William Branham. That’s making the son his own father. Come on, man, that’s paganism. That’s some kind of ridiculous suppositions, or heaven knows what. See?

[89]  Like I’ve changed from husband, when my child is born, then I’m father. When my grandchild is born, I’m grandfather. See? But, I don’t change. that’s still… me. See? (…that’s God.)… See, it’s just changed your form. See? and nature changes it down from a young man to a middle-aged, to an old man. And there you are, you see, you just change your form.

And at the same time you change your role, so therefore, what God is doing in a manifestation and juncture period, this and that, is it for a purpose and it’s being acted out. Now what’s being acted out? He has to come and fulfill to the Gentiles what He said He would do. He’s got to appear. So therefore, we see it.

Now, you say, “Can I sit in the safety of that ark?” That’s what the prophet said or I don’t know what he said. He brought us into the Third Pull, the Seven Seals, the Seven Thunders, brought us right down in the Presence, the whole thing; what more do you want for your good of your spiritual health?

I’ll tell you one thing, you add to it and you do lose your spiritual health. You take from it, you drop just as dead. So let’s be very content with where we stand. Not say like some foolish, “Well, I knew the prophet.” How well did you know him? Or some are piping up, how that William Branham was God.

And Banks Wood said, “Well, if he’s God it sure didn’t rub off on you the way you live.” You know you do get kind of tired of some people once in a while, not that you should get tired. But anyways, that’s enough for tonight.

Let me see, I want to fold my page down here, put the date and see, it’s over a full hour now and a full hour is plenty time come, I’m a little bit weary but it’s all right. Sunday morning we’ll continue. I don’t like taking too much Wednesday nights anyways because you know people miss too much that way.

All right, right here. This is the 25th, is it? Something like that. All right. Shall we rise at this time?

Gracious and eternal heavenly Father, we again Lord look tonight and think in our hearts what we have looked at and say, and are beginning, Lord, a little bit hopefully to say, when the prophet preached the Seals then he said, “My I didn’t know how simple it was,” and now we’re getting to the place where we can begin to see a little simplicity and we thank You for it, gracious heavenly Father that You’ve opened our eyes to this simplistic truth and laid it down, it’s been all through Your Word, God in the prophets.

And You have manifested Yourself Lord, and revealed Yourself and we believe You’re here right now in the form of the Pillar of Fire, the head of the Church to raise the dead and take us right into the Millennium and at that time Lord, when You take us up You’ll incarnate Yourself into that wonderful body that You… that was prepared and You indwelt and once more will dwell in and then we’ll crown You King of kings, and Lord of lords and come back and reign upon the earth where You will be the Son of David.

And all these things Lord, are very beautiful and we’re very happy with them because we see You revealed as You are, the fullness of the Godhead bodily and we appreciate that so much to know that You have helped us this far and we believe Lord, You’ll help us all the way.

Now humble us all down, making us all down Lord, just bring us right down to the place of a sweetness and a kindness and a lovely temper amongst us and a sweet spirit, oh God, of just loving You and loving each other and just going on serving You humbly and sweetly day by day,

Lord, putting the dross and the things aside as the Holy Spirit helps meld them out of our heart and the real jewels Lord, begin forming like, you know Lord, You said, faith and virtue and knowledge and godliness and temperance and all these lovely things coming right up, Lord, where You Yourself just are taking over our lives and have taken over our lives Lord, we believe for that too, and we believe for a simplicity.

It’s all been so simple Lord, we believe this will be, too, so help us tonight Lord, to be simple, to be like children that we might inherit the kingdom of God.

Be with each one tonight Lord, every home here and we just pray Father, that the sick amongst us will be healed. I look for help myself. And I thank You so much for Your help Lord, I appreciate it, very, very much.

Look for my wife and I don’t stop… look for other people in the country around about us and everyone here Lord, just love to see everyone in that condition of health because then, oh God, we know something’s really going to take place.

That sweet Spirit come amongst us Lord, and not one be feeble, not one be sick, no siree, and the prophet said that so many times, Lord, I know there’s something to it, there’s something in it and we know it’s going to be very, very simple, just walking into it, just like we’re walking into this now and seeing the beauty of the simplicity of God unfold.

Now if we cannot praise You enough but though we might attempt, Lord, we know we’ll never do it but accept our praise tonight and just encourage us and we know You will and help us to encourage each other until we rise to meet our lovely One in the air in Jesus’ Name, we pray.

Amen.

Let’s just sing, “Take the Name of Jesus with you.”
