Why Is He Here #5D

…waiting only for that which is to come, we praise Thee, Lord, for it. Now, we believe, Lord, You’ll instruct us tonight, You’ll help us in utterance and application of wisdom from Your Word in Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

You may be seated.

Now, just thinking tonight so many songs sung strictly from the Scripture, you know, that was the old way they used to do it, before people got poetic. And they began making up nice songs, which are fine. But I understand that originally, they used to just sing the Word.

Now, we’re talking tonight, varying the names, It says in Isaiah, “So shall they fear the Name of the Lord from the west, and His glory form the rising of the sun.”

You know, Israel never did really know the Name, that is to the revelation and the application of It. Oh sure, they knew the Name, but see, we have the Name, It’s in the west that the Name is. In the east was the glory.

That’s where the glory first came from, also the light. But, glory usually refers to the splendor and the majesty, especially centered around Israel as a great nation.

But, it says, “At this time when this is known, the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall raise up a standard against him.

And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, unto them that turn from transgression to Jacob, saith the Lord.” Then It says, “As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and forever.”

So, when the Light shines in the west the Name is known, the glory of the Lord proves that’s the same One of the east. That’s the time that the Redeemer is going to come back. And that’s the time the Millennium sets in.

So, every place you look there’s no way that doesn’t tell us that this is that hour. And if the Seventh Seal was hardly half an hour, not much time left. Not much time left at all.

I want to read you something I picked up, an excerpt from Oswald Chambers said.

Oswald Chambers:

For thirty years Jesus did nothing, then for three years He stormed every time He went down to Jerusalem. Josephus said He tore through the temple courts like a madman.

We hear nothing about that Jesus Christ today. The meek and mild being pictured today makes us lose altogether the meaning of the Cross. We have to find out why Jesus was beside Himself with rage and indignation at the Pharisees, and not over those given to carnal sins.

Which state of society is going to stand a ripping and tearing Being like Jesus Christ Who drags to the ground the highest respected pillars of a civilized society, and shows that their respectability is built upon a much more abominable pride than the harlot’s or publican’s?

The latter are discussing, but these men have the very pride of the devil in their hearts. The remarkable thing about fearing God, is that when you fear God you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God you fear everything else.

If we put our trust in men we shall go under, because men are just like ourselves, and none of us in our wit before God that everything would ever think of trusting ourselves; if we do it is a sign we’re ignorant of ourselves.

Pretty good, eh? You know I never did think too much of Oswald Chambers.

I guess I must have had his one book, ‘My Utmost for His Highest’, it’s kind of a devotion. It didn’t come across too good to me, I thought others were better. I never did get into his writings. That’s interesting. Very good.

Now, we want to continue tonight laying pretty well the last ground work for Sunday when we go into the ‘Judge is Relative to the Bride’.

And so, we’re into number 5d, ‘Why He is Present the Judge’. And we’ll read in John 5:.

We’ll read a lot. One thing is you read a lot of Scripture, then you can go home and say, “At least we heard the Scripture.” Sang It and you heard It read.

We’ll start with John 5 verse 19, and we’ll read It continuously to about the end of the chapter.

Well, of course that’s perfectly obvious if It’s the Father in Him doing them.

Now, that… you know, ha, ha, I tell you what really… all I’ve got to do is ask anybody there, what do you expect is going to come out of that statement?

And I’ll bet you ten to one you’re wrong. Because I would do the same thing, oh the old great splash, great this, great that, that great other thing.

And yet He said, “No sign given to this generation, save the sign of Jonas, as Jonas was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale.” You say, “What kind of a sign is that? Fap!

You know, don’t let the devil trick you. As he has been so good at tricking us in the past. When the enemy comes in like a flood, a standard, a revelation has been raised up to help us. You know, that you may marvel.

Now, let’s be honest, do you marvel at the raising of the dead, or do you marvel at the revealed Word when you stand in grace?

Now, if you marvel at the dead being raised, you’ve been white washed, brainwashed. Not whitewashed, but like brainwashed by the charismatic’s.

And we’re going to have to, you know, nicely bat some heads to get all this old charismatic’s brain out. And come back to God Who is the Word. Right?

Oh, I don’t think I’ll get to preaching tonight, except for two and a half hours. So, just take it easy. All right:

Now notice how He put those two together. You see, they sound like… well, just two unrelated statements.

He said here, “The Father Himself which has sent Me bore witness of Me. You’ve neither heard His Voice at any time, or seen His shape.” And He said, “You’ve not His Word abiding in you.” You can only see Him in the Word.

As He Himself said in verse 39,

And if you don’t see Him there, forget it. Especially today, because God has so granted His power to be used by His enemy, that the false anointed, you know, can produce what the charismatic, or the charismatic inclined believer true Christian might produce.

And even more so, but they can’t produce the Word.

Now,

Now, He makes it very hard for them to come. Huh, well, first of all you come to my house and, you know, or I go to your house, maybe how we do it, I can go to your house and I can just tell you’re the rottenest cook under high heaven, and your food smells like swill and taste like swill.

Well now, I’m going to tell you what, when once you hit a guy like that you don’t expect that person to come and eat dinner at your place do you?

Well, that’s what Jesus did. He hit them with both barrels, He said, “You act like a bunch of hogs, there’s no Word in you, you’re a complete mess.”

And then He said, what does He say here, He said, and you’ll not come to Me, that you might receive life.”

Well you say, “Why should I come?”

See, that what’s got Him hopping mad He insulted the whole bunch up. People don’t like to be insulted. The old saying: “You get more flies with honey, then you do with vinegar.”

It’s certainly true, but who wants flies? They can both drown in either honey or vinegar. See what I mean?

Look, He insults them. All right, he said:

Now, they should have known back in Moses’ day, it happened to Moses by him glorifying Himself. But they… you know, see, you get a person mad he can’t think. That’s right. You get him raging and he may even have a gun pulled on you.

Pat Tyler tells the time a man got the drop on him, said he’s a fool. Pat’s dead now of course. Pat taught the FBI how to shoot. He can pawn dice and change cars as fast as any man living.

In fact, he owned an airplane to get from place to place, to just find these big tables and he’d go in and take all the money. And this one guy hated him. And like a fool, he let him get a drop on him.

And the guy had the gun cocked ready to kill him. And he baited him and baited, he just snarled at him, baited him. Got him so raging mad, when the eye flickered he hauled and hit him and knocked him across the room, saved his life.

You get a man mad he may kill you, but ten to one he won’t. Ten to one he won’t. He’ll try to kill you any other way, but they rage they lose their sense of balance and all. Look at what he did. He deliberately goaded them. Verse 45.

Okay, except for the delineation which we should of just not done any, but, fuss. Just read the Scripture, there are various precise and illuminating pronouncements made in these verses which deal primarily with the subject that we have on hand.

Number one: ‘Who is Judge’.

Number two: ‘Why He is Judge’, and,

Number three: ‘the time that He is Judge’.

Now,

John 5:22 categorically and unequivocally states that God has given into the hands of the Son the processes for the pronouncements of verdicts which are either for, or against anyone so that the verdict is exoneration, or guilt, with the disposition of the purchase of the person subject to the judge.

And not only so, but this authority is such that in a case of an attempted accusation the accused cannot even brought into court, when the judge believes, or declares there is no possibility of establishing guilt, or any association with guilt for the question is already handled by precedence. And the decision is, that there is no grounds to proceed.

So, that’s what we’re looking at here. When you speak of judgment you’re thinking in terms of verdicts, a disposition of what the verdict is. More or less the disposition of the person according to the verdict. And also, the judge is the one that has the authority to even refuse to hear a case.

Now, this definition is founded upon the words ‘all judgment’, because that’s what it says, “All judgment is committed unto the Son.”

Which would not only set forth all kinds of judgments as to their number, any amount any number, and their intent. But would obviously refer to all decisions in any and all cases with the right to deny certain attempts at arraignment or prosecution.

Now, if he’s got… this is He said, “All judgment.” Then this would include all numbers, all types. Take care of all decisions, and give the right to deny arraignment, or attempts at arraignment.

Now, that our definition is correct is further seen in,

Now, you’ll note the very words, “shall not come into judgment.” For it shows no possibility of the need for decision, because the person is passed from death to life.

And such a person is incapable of being tried, because he is beyond any other word, then the word that is now placed with him and under him.

Now, I want you to catch what I said. We started out by telling you that all judgment showed that it is not limited to numbers. It includes universally all, numbers is not limited.

The decisions and the disposition of the person, or persons is included. And with it the understanding that is the judge had no precedence, there is no case.

Now, that was in John 5:22 “All is committed,” so that the complete spectrum is before us. Wherever there is a necessity, or in the minds of men no necessity, but that which would be grounds for a trial.

Then in verse 24, It says there are those who will not ever come into the judgment. It shows that there is no possibility of the need for a decision concerning these people, for they have passed from death unto life.

And such persons are incapable of being tried, because they are beyond any other word, see? than the word which he is now placed with, and under.

In other words, it is like a jurisdiction so as that one particular judge could in no way attempt, or if he did attempt, his efforts would be nullified to take jurisdiction over this, or these persons. See?

Just like you can’t try a person under an arson charge when he’s held up the bank. He robbed it, he didn’t burn it. So, there’s no way and no necessity for a decision, a verdict. So, that pretty well takes in all judgment.

There’s just one escape route and that is, “He that heareth My Word,” and now a word and a disposition which is inviolate, cannot be violated by anybody under any consideration. Because he is in another situation, another jurisdiction.

So, everybody but those will be in a judgment.

Number two: we saw Who is Judge. Next, we see this awesome authority of wisdom and power in totality is given to Him, because of John 5:27. The Son, unto Him has been committed all judgment. Why?

The authority to pronounce and to cause to be executed all judgment, because He is the Son of man. This places Him in the position of verdict and disposition.

Because of this peculiar title and what lies in it intrinsically, so that all judgment is passed on to Him. There is no other reason, and can be no other reason for this is exactly what It says.

Now, someone might look around and might think, “Well, there should be another reason here.” But, that’s not so, this is the reason. See?

The Son is Judge, because He is the Son of man. The question arises, what authority lies in the Son of man to give Him such sovereign power of adjudicating and thereby disposing universally.

In other words, it’s an unlimited so that nobody can stop Him, He’s got absolute authority. And He’ll do it, because it’s committed to Him on the grounds that He is the Son of man.

Remember, what back in Matthew, Jesus said, “Who do men say that I the Son of man am?”

And Peter said, “Thou art the Christ, Thou art Messiah the Son of the living God.”

And Jesus confirmed it. He said, “Flesh and blood hath not revealed unto you, but My Father which is in Heaven.”

And He reconfirms it in,

How can you get a proper court decision when everybody’s seeking each other’s honor? Scratching each other’s back, pulling every cotton-picking rotten deal in the book.

Now, John 5:39-47, is Deuteronomy chapter 18 beginning at verse 15, I believe, so let’s go back.

John 5: which we’re looking at:

Now, He’s saying, “You’ve got to believe that God that said that someone was coming, and you hear His Words. And if you didn’t the words would be required of you.”

If you did hear, then there would be a requirement of the words. The word would superimpose a jurisdiction over which there was no other jurisdiction.

You follow what I am saying? Do you really follow what I am saying? Hasn’t got a thing to do with any action, or anything anybody ever did. It’s a faith precept, puts them in a place where whatever is spoken can never be required as a verdict of condemnation.

Do you realize what He is saying over here?

Well, that’s what He’s saying, over here is a negative, over here is a positive. It’s the same thing.

In other words, no requirement other than listening. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God,” which is a revelation.

Now, notice: He never waivers from,

Do you know, I wished that they had somehow had enough of the record to put at least fifty percent of His sermons in on these verses. I’d loved to have heard Jesus preach a sermon, It’s a pity that He didn’t take this one.

Now, He did preach other sermons, but I wished He’d have preached this one. Of course, He didn’t ask me. And I guess I got no problem there.

All right, He never wavered from Luke 4:16 to about 21. He is,

God hasn’t got two sets of words, He’s got one Word, and He upholds It. And He said, “He that listens to the One the Father sends coming in His Name, and the ones that I send hearing that Word shall never come into judgment. Everybody else does.

Let’s go back to,

Where did they get all the grace and truth from? When He went down there to Jerusalem, every time in the synagogue like a bull in a china shop. Just about tore the doors off, threw out the money changers, threw out the offerings and sacrifices.

Went into homes and shut them up. Defied them face to face, made their religion like a two-bit phony thing. Where was the grace and truth? The Word, yep, of Eternal Life, that’s where it was.

Now, He is that One here, Logos is the Word. He was the great Prophet. He was the One to come. We go to,

Now, It tells you, He’s the Prophet, now It tells you He is the Word. The great discerning Word. He is,

In other words, at the time of revelation of this Book. Plagues will follow at the time of the revelation of this Book.

Now, that tells you about Him being qualified, because He is the Son of man to be that Judge.

Now, since He is,

And also, how that He is the One Who by words lead forth, and also revealed God. He was that One Who was to come by virtue of that He must be Acts 17:31. Okay.

Now, you can see right here, that because that He is the Prophet the Son of man. And as we showed you before how He was part of that human race and therefore, would have the ability to positively deal with both God and man in that particular area. He would now be a tremendous Judge.

Now, to elaborate more fully we go on. He, Jesus was not that Prophet just by virtue of birth. To be a man is not axiomatically, or automatically to be a prophet. It is Hebrews 1:1-2.

Now, I’m going to explain what I said. Now, He’s called the Son of man. He’s a man. But being a man does not give you axiomatically the privilege or the right to be a prophet.

Back in John 1:1-3. Go over It again:

Now, with that we go to,

Now, you notice that what we saw in previous verses to this, was that there was a hook up with God. There was a special interrelationship with God.

God was in the prophets in parts and ways over a period of time. Then God was in the Man, the One man, all of Him, the great Elohim, Redeemer, Jehovah was in this One Jesus.

Now, you’ll notice that we’re getting into explanation here, that these men are in lieu of, or instead of God to the people. In other words, they have a very special something about them that gives them the privilege of being in this position. See?

Let’s keep moving.

Now you notice in there that Jesus is identifying the quote in the Psalms, “Who are gods.” And It’s not simply any person per se, because that person happens to be born.

Now certainly they got to be born. See? But being born is not the qualification, there’s another qualification.

The qualification would have to be as over here in Jeremiah 1:4-9. And we’ll try to put it together for you. I think you get what I’m talking about. But anyway, that means trying to put a whole lot together. Okay:

In other words, this Man was born, specially born. That’s why Jesus would be specially born. See? Follow in the line of the traditional prophet. Ordination before birth.

Neither is every prophet glib, or smooth. Paul wasn’t smooth. Moses wasn’t smooth. And maybe even Jesus stuttered when He got mad. I don’t suppose He did really, because He was perfect. But the sparks might have flown. They did in fact.

A man is ordained in the womb, he’s born a certain way. It’s like Brother Branham said, “The serpent had a place for a soul, but didn’t have a soul.”

Jesus said of those Pharisees, “There’s no place in you for My Word.”

In other words, anybody who hears the Word of God and born again, has got something the rest of the people don’t have. You’re made a certain way by predestination.

He said,

You say, “Can one man have that power?” You better believe one man has that power, and he doesn’t even have to go to the nation to exercise that power, because It is God’s Word in the man’s mouth that does it. He’s specially built. He’s got a special mouth.

Even Brother Branham in a dream saw. Although I don’t think his mouth was that particularly special in contradiction to other men’s… you know mouth, the way the occlusion is, or anything else. But it was a very special mouth on the count no other mouth was going to get the Word of God.

So, this is not simply something, because a person is born he can say, “Well, I’ve got a right.” Hogwash, you’ve got a right.

My, I’ve got a very nice kid, I go and he give me my good massages. He’s a real sweet guy, I think the world of him. If I had a son like him, I’d be terrible proud of him. Worker, he’d put a lot of people to shame. But he’s been hooked by a bunch of stupid cultists.

They got some apostle up in Canada, that if you said, “Give me one sign you’re an apostle.” He’d stand there and blither like that Mormon jerk up in Canada… when I was there, after meeting he came bustling up and the sick were being healed, everybody getting help.

And he said, “By what authority do you this?”

Well, I said, “Just before I answer that question I’d like to ask something. Do you have authority to do what I’m doing?”

And he said, “Yes.”

I said, “Can do it.”

He said, “No!”

Then I said, “What good is your authority?”

Oh, come on. I could stand right there and absolutely prove how a devil manifest’s himself and what he works.

Absolutely show the people that anybody has a continuous rolling pain in the body, has a devil stood right there and commanded the devil move one place in that boy’s body and they cast it out. Who knows?

Lots of dumb wonderful things happened… “Where do you get your authority from?”

There is in birth a thing called predestination which is based on election, which is based upon foreknowledge, and it will come out.

And a prophet is one of the most foreknown predestinated persons ever, and they’re very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very… and I could stand there the next twenty five years and say, “few.” There’s literally one in hundreds of millions.

In fact, I suppose that over the six thousand years there would have been eight billion peoples on earth by now. Eight billion quite easily. You say, “Well, I don’t know.” And I say, “I don’t know.” There’s close to four billion right now, she’s not over yet.

And the estimation of peoples on the earth before the flood when the land masses were greater than the water masses; and they lived so many years and were very prolific.

Why good night, there could have been eight, or then, or twenty-two billion for all we know, how many there were there, I don’t know. But you start numbering, let’s say just eight billion people for an easy estimate.

How many prophets? I mean real prophets, Word prophets. The Word of God in their mouths. Not many.

So, you can see these people were exceptionally exceptional, because they have a role that literally makes them the mouth of God.

Now, God in His role as Word and Word giver indwelling a man constitutes a prophet. That’s why they hate him. They’re all like prophets, they’d sooner have these goofs that call themselves, you know, apostles or something. Phfft!

Oh brother, sick is sick and weird is weird, but when you get a sick weird person, especially religiously. You know, it’s refreshing to have a prophet come by that’s ordained of God, at least for once you can tell which way the wind might be blowing. Instead of all this junk.

So, God in His role, because we’re looking at roles remember. Offices, titles and drama. God in His role as Word and Word giver indwelling a man constitutes a prophet.

God made flesh in a man, primarily a prophet. The Word and authority are of God. The voice of speech only is human.

All right, let’s go to Psalms 119:1-6 again.

All right, here we see that the prophet gives the Word, and the Word is the law, a statute, commandments, precepts, judgments, signifying that the prophet is the one whereby the judgments of God are in the land. Yep. His pronouncements are set judgments.

The absolute and unadulterated power of direction and disposition lies in His Word. His pronouncements are set judgments, try to get back.

He has the absolute and unadulterated power of direction and disposition through that Word when It’s spoken. When It is spoken, It’s got to be dealt with, It’s got to come to bad. We cannot doubt that.

Further we see that not only does the Word whereby we judge come by a prophet. But also, the interpretation, or revelation of It, so that the Word is capable of taking its course amongst us.

Let’s go to Numbers 15th chapter, this little simple one here, but I remember this, so I turned to It. I had to look up in my concordance of course.

All right,

Now, something was already written here about the do’s and the don’ts on the Sabbath. And there were certain things that you couldn’t do, there’s certain things you were permitted to do under extenuating circumstances.

Now, this fellow must have needed something to cook with. I don’t know whether he couldn’t get out of bed the day before or something to get the fire readying the food prepared, I don’t know. All I know is, there was doubt.

So, they brought him to Moses, and this one who was going to be the judge had to get an interpretation of the Word. Why do you think we go up to the Supreme Court for? To get what is the final interpretation.

So, there must be an interpretation in here and we find the judge is the revealer and thereby the interpreter of God’s Word.

Now, God was the first prophet and then He was Judge. Let’s go back to the Book of Genesis.

All right, what does that mean? Well, he didn’t drop over dead. What is it all about? Let’s go and fine out. Now, let’s not get too lean, let’s not get too stringent. Let’s not get just one little idea and look at it.

Let’s look at the Book, 3rd chapter.

Now, that’s a good question. Here’s a legal thing. Come on, concerning the Word.

Now see, the question was: is there something in here about something being said about you can’t eat of a special tree? Why she said, “Yes, I’ll point it out to you, so to speak, can’t eat it in the tree in midst of the garden… don’t touch it unless you die.”

He ain’t no prophet this fellow, God’s a Prophet. Now if this fellow had it in Moses… he’d have gone to God. Now he brings in his own two-bits worth.

Now, you read the Book of the Songs of Solomon, you’ll see that’s sexual intercourse. And people think they’re really smart and wise, because they know how to perform the act and mess their lives up and everybody’s else’s up.

Now, here you’re telling what this debt is, he’s talking about.

All right:

Now, man does not have eternal life in the ultimate sense until he gets this all back. Because that was his life in the first place.

See, I keep telling you eternal life hasn’t got a thing to do with something that’s different from this. It’s the same life that goes on and on and on. And it was that life that they had when they went in upper Sheol.

And Jesus came and got them out of there to put them immortal in another place. That’s what He’s going to do for you and me. That’s when death really ends.

How would you like to be here immortal with twigs and everything picking you?

Now, they could have been that way if they got to the Tree of Life, lived on and on in a state of death. Separation just… now death is not just separation from God, it’s separation from the blessings and the help and the beauty of God. It’s everything that’s in God as per original creation, and His great power.

That’s why when He’s revealed as the Father of glory, the One that’s responsible for all glory. He wants you to know tonight you’re looking down the road to where you’re going to pass into immortality and eternity.

Now, some of you don’t feel good about yourselves. The trouble is, you’re still back where I was, you looking into a three-way mirror and your nose is too big; or you chin’s too big, your eyes don’t match. Your ears are screwy, your hair’s this way.

For God’s sake, smarten up. Anybody with that idea is not born again, and can’t be a child of God. Because you’re looking at the biggest ape with flat feet, the big nose and everything else under God’s high heaven.

And it doesn’t mean anything anymore, because I’m walking in. See? We’re not dealing in this muck-wuck junk. See? Now, that’s why you understand I get tough at times, because time has run out for nonsense. See?

This is what Eternal Life is, and there’s where they died, they lost this. See? They sold it. Now, we’ve got to get back to life.

Now listen, let’s face it. This has got to be death, because Adam lived on and Eve lived on, and every child of God, that’s a seed of God, lives on, but he’s away in that place of detention.

Now, he’s suppose to have this. See? Now, he that believes that Word is going to get It, because it was not believing that Word that lost It. That’s why all these things we call sin are not sin at all. There’s only one sin and that’s unbelief, and the rest are the attributes of sin.

Now, you noticed in here how God interpreted His Word. He said, “That’s death.”

Ho, merciful heaven, Brother Branham said, “I always used to wonder what it is about, maybe that little old cloud of vapor. And (you know) here’s Brother Neville go by, a little cloud of vapor, and here’s William Branham…” I never did have that idea.

Brother Branham said he was always was afraid until he got beyond the curtain of time. And then he said, “I’ll never be the same again, my thinking has been changed.” It took a vision.

You’ve got the Word tonight to change your thinking, your minds, get rid of your own thinking, get right back to the Word of God and realize this is Eternal Life. To know Thee, the only True God and Jesus Christ Whom Thou has sent.

God’s His Own Prophet, God’s His Own interpreter. See? What does it matter if your body goes to the grave. Fap! I’d like to get out of here, because there’s something better. I’m going to keep saying that, till one day I leave, or He’s changing me. I know you people don’t think that’s right, in a certain way, you think I’m nuts. But Brother Brian, he always can find everything I preached, and I can never find what I preach, and he always finds it in Brother Branham sermons. In there he mentioned to me how Brother Branham said the very same thing. To start talking, start praising, enter in like I said, there’s Malachi.

A kid phoned me up, and he said, “Brother Vayle, (he said) I don’t understand the silence in heaven, not a cherubim, not this, not that, but (he said) I was born again since that time. The Bible says, ‘Angels and heaven rejoiced’.”

I said, “Brother never mind what went on in heaven, it’s down here that you speak the Message and you talk one to another and glorify His great Name.” Set the kid on fire to know there was something real, he thought he’d missed something. Yes sir. Oh yes, I’m happy. If you’re not happy, well you sit back and grin like a hog that ate (you know) ate some of that good old mash we made and fed to the hogs.

Moses was prophet and judge. The prophet is the living Word of God manifested in human flesh. Why? Because God’s got to have some place for His Word. So, He’s the Logos as it were. He would be Judge on the same base as the Living Word of God manifested.

So, what we are saying is the prophet is a portion of the Logos, come to us through human instrumentality with the purpose of God set forth and revealed in Him, because it’s revealed to him.

Jesus was the Logos without human instrumentality. Except that God used Mary in a chemical way. He was the Logos, the whole Logos made flesh.

Other prophets were already born flesh and the Logos came in a portion to them. Those that were born by human instrumentality. God a little portion here, a little portion there came to them. But this one absolutely born without human instrumentality. See? He is the Logos.

Now, drawing a conclusion we see a union, God and prophet. Prophet and God. Never a separation, one has to have other. They have one Word, God’s Word. They have to have one mind. God’s mind. What I’m trying to show you here is why Jesus absolutely is that Judge. See? He’s got to be first of all Prophet. See?

In other words, the Word has got to come to Him in the basic of the precept and in the revelation of the precept. How could a prophet make a mistake? If a prophet could make a mistake, then Jesus as Judge would make a mistake.

He said, “Which of you can, that word is, convince me of sin? Which of you can confute me? Find one word?”

Can’t find one Word off, as to fulfilling It. As to manifesting It. As to saying It, or any way at all, He wasn’t one word off. If He’d have been one word off, He couldn’t be Judge. See, no way He could be Judge. It would be intolerable.

All right, let’s go to Acts the 3rd chapter down to 19, the middle part.

Now, examine A: examine 3:22.

All right. Go to,

Okay, Acts 3:19b part, examine.

Two sets of days. The days when He was on earth, the days that He is to come back. Tells of It.

All right, verse 24… well I better read 24 of It.

Now, you’ll notice first day: Moses, second day: Samuel. There’s two places of starting.

Now, I read you in Luke where He went took them to Moses. This Scripture doesn’t only go to Moses, It goes to Samuel. See?

The first day was the prophet like unto Moses. The second day is the prophet like unto Samuel like unto Moses, but as prophet.

Now listen: Samuel never received the Word. Nah, only by revelation was he judge. Not one place where Samuel got anything from God that Moses had not already given. But he came on the scene as judge, the Word giving was over. All that needed was interpretation to the people.

So therefore, there was a Word giver called ‘Moses’. And there was a prophet judge who was exclusively in the realm of interpretation and revelation judging the people. So therefore, after the Word came the judge now in the Ephesian Age.

Here’s what Paul says in,

And Paul literally brought a Word in revelation and in some places tediously explained It. And the explanation was always to put the Church in order. They got off limits somewhere. Misunderstanding.

All right, now in the Laodicean Age It is,

All right, hold it there: turn back to Acts the 3rd chapter.

Now,

Now, there comes a finishing, the conclusion, the final touch to what every prophet said about Him. But in Jesus’ day it was only His sufferings and entering into His glory.

So there had to come a time in the Book of Revelation when even John, the revelator, was explained and revealed, the Word revealed that John brought.

Do you follow what I am saying? I lost you, right? You’re all lost, too bad. I’m not going to leave you, I should leave you there, just to smarten you up. You come and listen to the tape real good.

I’m going to go over it again. All right, in the first time Jesus, when the Holy Spirit came in the form of a Prophet in Jesus, the fullness. All right, there are two sets of days mentioned.

The day of His flesh, the day that’s coming in the future, when He will come back in His flesh. But in the meantime, between a healing revival, and when He comes in the flesh the Word has got to be restored spoken in the mouth of all the prophets. Not just some, all.

Now, the Seventh Church Age messenger, every mystery of every prophet to the finish line has got to be expounded.

In Jesus’ day It was Moses, to His birth, death, resurrection entering into glory. This is coming back to glory on the earth.

You follow me now?

All right, Moses is the type of the first. Samuel is the type of the second, because Samuel didn’t bring any Word.

But, as Moses said, “You don’t dare add a word, or take a word.” He went to Moses.

As John the revelator said, “You don’t dare take a word, or add a word.”

William Branham went to the Book of Revelation. And in doing it he went back to every prophet, starting with God, and he concluded with God as Prophet. That’s what we’re talking about.

Now, remember this man Samuel was in a judge class way beyond Moses, because he judged the nation all his life. Moses did a little bit of it. Then he got seventy men to help him.

This man stood there the complete generation. Years and years, he judged Israel based on the revelation. And he was the prophet revealing the Word.

Now, the Book has already been given, so in our day we have to have a man like not Moses, but Samuel.

Now listen, the same Spirit that was in Moses giving the Word, was the same Spirit in Samuel as judge Who revealed the Word and set the thing in order. The same thing here today. See? You can’t get by it.

Now, that’s in the Laodicean Age. Now watch,

Now, It tells you the Book is going to be open. How do you open any book? Through knowing what’s in the covers and understand what’s in the covers.

This is Isaiah, …if I could turn to It right now, I forget what chapter, It said they handed the Book to the man, he said, “I can’t leave them ignorant.”

So, they tried another person, he said, “I don’t understand it.” At the end time, there’s got to be a complete revelation of the Gospel. See? So, this man does it.

Revelation 10:7, so we see comparing the Logos Prophet ministries of Luke 24: and Acts 3:24, Jesus was Prophet Who set the course for judgment.

At the end of time He is the Logos, the Prophet Judge. He not now only sets, but adjudicates. See, the same One that gave It is here interpreting It. What for?

He that adds a word goes to the tribulation. He that takes a word away gets his life taken away. All right, that’s what it is.

“This is a condemnation, that light was in the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”

What evil deeds? Their religious worship. Oh God, do you understand tonight why I hate legalism, and try to preach all this time? I don’t want to keep harping, but this is the reason we’re here.

That’s why I’m off the road. You cut my throat you don’t dare… I tell you what, God will judge you sure as I stand here, I’m preaching under inspiration tonight, and you know I am, and I know I am. These aren’t my notes.

Now listen, don’t just praise God and your amen me, get this down flat, we’re not kidding, I’m telling you the truth. I’m not boasting or anything, I know what I’m talking about. And I’ve seen some of you and your changing.

I’ve looked at our women and I can see women are changing for the first time in all these years. I want to say this, I’ve seen women begin to change.

Though I sound rough and tough and mean, I’m not, and I know I shouldn’t try to get emphasis by screaming and all, but God help me, I’m just so stupid, I don’t mean better. But don’t think I’m not pleased, don’t worry. I’m pleased, mighty pleased.

Now, you say, “Why don’t you smile?” I say, “That’s my business. I’ll smile when I’m ready”. The Book written about Jesus said, “He cried a lot, never known to laugh, or crack a smile.”

Well, I’m not trying to be Jesus, you can sure see that, and don’t want to be the devil either.

All right listen, the great Prophet Judge, and that’s exactly as He should be. Over here in Genesis the 18th chapter Abraham saw that great One veiled in a man which is a Prophet come right down there.

And then He said, “Now, He said, will I not show this man of what I’m going to do?” And He said, “I’ll you why I’m going to show him, because he’ll apply the Token to his family.”

Yet, He said he’ll bright his kids up right. How are you going to bring those kids up right outside of a Word that’s revealed?

And then He said, “Now, I’m going to show Abraham what I’m going to do.” And he stood right there and Abraham said, “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

And the question comes up in the hour that He’s Judge, how is He going to treat the righteous? A hundred percent they’ll never come into the judgment.

We’re laying the foundation for Sunday, see, I haven’t got my notes in order, we’ll see what happens. Got to wait as you do to see what happens. We’re looking at It, see brother/sister.

So now, we can see how the prophet becomes judge. He’s the only one that can be judge, because the Word and the revelation can come to him alone.

And when a man stands as a judge in our courts, he’s a supreme symbol of the sovereignty of that nation. What have we got? Rot, filth, muck, prostitute-ism. Prostitution everything else under God’s high-heaven in our court. You can…

As the fellow said, “You can rent anything today but a politician and a judge. I’ll add that, you got to buy them. Filthy rotten, that’s why the judges don’t look down and condemn sin anymore, because they know their kids are into it. See?

Judge righteous judgment, where is it? See? Well, it’s not in man to ever do right. So, God just applies the Blood and perfects it by the Blood.

All right, only a prophet can be a judge. That’s why even Deborah in politics. She had to be a prophetess. She no more knew that Word than nothing. She’d have to stand there before God.

See, the Word couldn’t come to her as a man, come to a man. So, God would give her understanding exactly what she would say. Women never was called to preach, but she can testify.

All right, question number 3 that arose was, at what time was he judged? It is unequivocally the Day of the Lord. All right, that’s Malachi 4:1-6.

Ain’t mad at nobody, just yell, because if feel good to yell. All I know to do is yell. I’m not beautiful, sensitive or anything else, but I believe the Word of God.

How are you going to know those who do wickedly? It says, “the proud are going to go down to…” Satan fell by reason of pride. That’s right.

They that do wickedly are as Cain, religious prostitution. The Word of God comes and they go by their own interpretation. Doesn’t do them one bit of good.

Now listen:

That’s it. It is the pronouncement of a verdict and the accomplishment. The verdict is said here while these are being judged as chaff, “you’re going to be judged with the Sun of righteousness coming down upon you, healing you into immortality, and you’re going to come back.

You’re going to tread them down,

Now,

In other words, it’s ordained that the curse come. “Behold, the earth shall burn as an oven,” But, that foreordained Word as to Abraham before the fire fell, and given to Abraham as given to you and me.

And said, “Look out there, that’s what is going to happen, but you’re going to miss it.” Oh, only God can say that. And He said, “There’s got to be a prophet.”

Now, that prophet by His Words sets the course of the righteous judgments of God in this earth. And all the judgments of God in this earth.

And the pronunciation on one side, is you’re going to be immortal. The pronunciation on the side is ‘death’. Because that’s what going to happen.

Now listen, that day is Malachi 4:1-6, we’re in Malachi 4:2-3, that is, you’re going to be okay, you’re going to tread down the wicked. That is absolutely over here in 1 Thessalonians the 4th chapter  we all know, Brother Branham preached It.

That’s what It tells you here. In Malachi, [4:2] “the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings,” is to come down with a Shout and a Voice, and a Trumpet to the Wedding Supper. Then we’ll come back and tread the wicked.

Now, that’s what It says. Prophet preceding judgment. And there can’t be a judgment unless there’s a prophet. And the same Spirit that brings the Word, is God’s Spirit, comes down by the spirit of a prophet.

Now, I didn’t say, “It came down by the spirit of a prophet,” though the spirit of the prophet up there.

I said, “The prophet has got a spirit.” This in his… even structural, structured figure of his body is uniquely formed to receive that Word.

God coming down by the prophet’s spirit. God’s Own Spirit coming down. Bringing that man to bring forth the Word, and that man categorically, because of that spirit in him is both prophet and judge.

Though the reality is, It’s the One in him, God, Logos the Word, is the Prophet and the Judge. See? Because you can’t have a prophet without a judge, you can’t have a judge without a prophet it’s axiomatic.

You can’t have a law without a penalty, or some fruit, or some merit. No way. Why? Because it’s in the seed.

That goes to Revelation 19:11, where we come back with Him seated upon white horses. It’s the very same thing as over in Luke the 17th chapter Now, here’s the prophet standing here, demanded, “If you’re a prophet, tell us when the Kingdom of God is going to come?”

He said, “It’s come and you won’t see It, that’s how It comes.” Oh, brother. “Neither say here, lo there, lo, because the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”

Then He turned to the disciples. Now, here’s there… listen, you talk about those nice learned beautiful polished and sweet old boys coming and saying, “Well, you seem to know an awful lot, great Sir, people call you a prophet.”

He said, “When is the Kingdom of God going to come?”

He said, “Well, I’ll just tell you flat, boy, It’ll come but you won’t even see It, because It doesn’t come the way you see things.”

You talk about looking for a fight, He was out there sparring. Yep, see?

He said to the disciples, “You’ll want to see one of the days of the Son of man, that was the Kingdom right there.” See? Passing from Prophet to King, in between is a Judge.

Now, let’s face it, the same qualities that lie in that Judge, is the same thing that’s King. Right, because the King is Judge.

Solomon was the wisest king and the mightiest judge Israel ever had when it came to a king. See? Then there was the one in between him and Saul, that was David, and he was a prophet king; prophet judge. Absolutely.

Remember, Solomon was judged by the wisdom of God. Now he said, “You’re not going to see It.”

Now, He told them the same thing, He said to these people, “You won’t see It, so don’t go looking for It.” In other words, if it’s under your nose you don’t see there, forget it.

Why look it, if there was a kangaroo in the midst of us and you couldn’t see the kangaroo you’d have to be awful blind, or the kangaroo awful small… or you’re nuts. In other words, you haven’t got any, “I see anything anyway.” Well, sick is sick, this isn’t sick, this is revelation.

And He said, “It’s coming by the Light.” It’s the Light that was brought. What brings Light, a prophet brings Light. See? “But men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.”

And this is the condemnation that men turned down Light. They turned down a Prophet, and the Prophet becomes a Judge. We’re talking about the Holy Spirit.

Now, He said, “You’ve got to suffer first.”

What is going in the days of Noah? Eating and drinking, building and so on. At that time, the Son of man will be revealed again. He’ll do the same things. He’ll be there and they’ll walk off and say it ain’t so.

A fellow wrote me a letter, oh, I don’t know why he’s taken all these years. I think he kind of had it coming to maybe, I guess I shouldn’t say that.

A lot of people got to be slow I guess, we’re fast on the trigger around here, we shouldn’t be maybe, he began really to put his church in order the first time.

He had a lady in his church for thirteen years… I guess of course they haven’t believed this Message all this time, but she said she believed, and he thought she did.

And when he put the church in order she really cussed him up one side down the other, stomped out of the church. But he said, “I’m used to those things.”

So, I wrote him a letter and I said, “Well brother, just wait until the gates of hell start clanging on this revelation.” Church order is nothing compared to this.

But I’m going to tell you something: it’ll be much more subtle too. You watch the charismatic’s go into action now, the charisma among us. Watch the Pentecostal pussycats, because that’s what it is. You watch. They don’t want it.

“Why, He said, right here the Son of man is going to be revealed.” That’s the Apokalupsis. See?

Now, that’s not the Rapture. They got an idea that’s the Rapture. But He said It’s in the midst. Thy Kingdom come on earth. See?

Now listen, that Kingdom of Heaven is nothing but an elevation, which means an authoritative position, a higher place. People get all mixed up on these things.

In other words, listen, the day’s coming when you’re going to be transported into a higher realm, another dimension. See? People can’t take it. They want the old dimension. So, they don’t see the Son of man revealed. He stands in our midst.

They say, “Ha, that ain’t so.” He’s revealed! He’s Present! He’s revealed, the Prophet, the Judge is here! Because He’s the same Person. He can have a thousand titles.

Why, you can belong, you can go down here and buy yourself a great big warehouse and you can import five thousand masks and costumes and wear everyone one at a time, you’re the same stinking rotten person. Fap!

What’s that got to do with it? God can take a million masks, He’s the same wonderful glorious Almighty Person.

Let’s look at the thing right. This is Matthew 3:10-12, let’s look at It. Notice how the Scripture spans two thousand years, the same as It does in the Book of Isaiah many times.

Here’s is what It says here, John the Baptist says:

Now listen:

Now listen: This mighty Baptizer with the Holy Ghost, and he couldn’t do till after he died and rose again. John said, “Behold the Lamb of God,” when he saw Him standing there. See? This is that One.

Now, but he says right here to these people coming to him, “Generation of vipers, he said what have you got to do with what I’m preaching about?” He said, “You’re no more going to get the Holy Ghost than nothing.”

He’s going to be right here and die for you, it won’t do you no more good than nothing, just bring you condemnation.”

Now, he says here, “Who’s fan is in His hand, this One Who is going to baptize, the fan is in His hands purge His floor.”

That’s not until this hour, because the chaff gets burnt up. The baptism with the Holy Ghost runs out, and when It does judgment sets in. He’s no longer the Baptizer with the Holy Ghost. You bet He’s not, He’s Judge. See? Just waiting to lower the boom so to speak.

All right, burn up the chaff. Now, that’s the same as Malachi we’re talking about. “Behold the day cometh that it’ll burn like an oven,” all the proud. But these are so proud.

He said, “You generations of vipers, you Sadducees, you Pharisees, phooey.”

He said, “I want to tell you something, you come here with your analytical minds, as though I could tell you something to make those minds function in a different way. I’m going to tell you something, there’s nothing I told you that makes me believe that I’ve got any evidence from you that your minds have been changed.”

What did John the Baptist do, he changed people’s minds. That’s repentance, this age needs a change of mind. Because the last seeing part is the eye, which is a ‘seer’ and above it is the mind which doesn’t move, it sits there.

Now, the Judge just sits there and watches that Word, because the Word has been given.

When the prophet left the scene let me tell you flat brother/sister, the Spirit went from Prophet to Judge, just waiting in between. It can’t swing back to Prophet, it’s got to swing to Judge. That’s why it’s time short.

See, Noah was right, Noah was here as a prophet to the flood, our Elijah left us, I’m talking about the man, spirit didn’t. So, standing right here watching the judgments of God are in the land right now. See? Okay.

Let’s go to 2 Timothy 2nd chapter, 15-19, I guess is what I want here.

In other words, you take off one word, you’ll take another, take another, take another till it’s messed up. You add a word, you’ll add, add, add, add, add. You don’t have to worry about doctrine.

Just give your time, just give yourself time to watch. Don’t jump at everything, just stand back and watch it for a year or two. Let’s see if what I’m teaching you is the truth after about a year or two, you’ll find out if I’m teaching you the truth.

Those who jump for the two-soul stuff they got polygamy now. How wonderful, they’ve got whore houses, now that’s what it amounts to. Who needs that junk.

That’s lawlessness, get back to the Word, naming the Name of Christ. What I’m trying to bring out here is the foundation of God stand sure. At what time? This time! When the prophets come pronouncing the Word of Almighty God, and men have got to make a decision.

Because God’s decision is already made, and the Word is laid out in front of them. Now, where are you going to go? “He that believeth my Word has everlasting Life.”

They’ll never come into a judgment. He that doesn’t believe the judgment hits you, you’ll never miss the judgment. Why? because you turned the prophet down. Why? Because God’s in the prophet. The man, the man, the man.

Ha, remember I preached on that, I said, “Never could understand.”

Just a few weeks before I left Quincy, I couldn’t understand about Brother Branham said, “He’s just a man, he’s just a man, (he said) I preached on.” Remember, get my tapes. If you’re dull of hearing get the tapes, Brother Evan’s got them.

Now, the big sneer, “the man, the man, the man.” Oh, what are you?

Now, can’t you see why I get upset with this nonsense that’s going on around here? Get with it or get out. Well stick around I’ll know who cut my throat. I’m not naming names here, I’m just saying, phfft, it’ll manifest. It’ll manifest, look we’re not kidding anybody anymore. See?

Brother Branham said, “Take the gloves off, so we took the gloves off.” He said, “Somebody’s got to tell them.” Not that I’ve got to be that one, but he had a trance and a vision and he told me so. Okay.

You’re being told that’s good, it’s good for you. You’ll never know when you’ll need it, get your eyes open, and understand. See? We’re in that hour.

Now, if want to show you something here: “My sheep hear My Voice and they follow Me.”

Now, only God knows who the Elect are. See? They’re the ones that hear and follow, and they will never come into a judgment. Then the prophet Word brings judgment.

Now, judgment isn’t just a matter of condemnation, it can be a matter of merit, or placing. See?

Where is it? See if I can find it for you.

To be the judge, the One that’s Present as He came to Abraham with a revelation, was the same One that went down as Judge, and the fire fell. Wasn’t two of them.

And the One that brought the Word, which is God, is Judge, but It’s not manifested. It is in a transition period from Prophet to Kingship, it transitioned. But there couldn’t be any Judge unless there has been a prophet.

How in the world could you tell anybody here a Book is all sealed up. It’s not open! And then say, “Hey, if you add a word or take a word you’re gone.”

“Well, they say, that’s the idea, see Brother Vayle, it’s all suited up so you can’t add a word or take away.” That’s only part of the truth.

There’s seven thunders that nobody has them numbered. What about those? So, if you guess, you can add or take away. Now where do you stand?

You got to be some place we’re under no condition till you add or take. That means the Book’s got to be open which It wasn’t in chapter 22 of Revelation and the 10th verse, the Book is open.

And there’s only one Person that could open that Book, that’s God Himself. That’s the Lamb that took It and sealed It as a Prophet, He got open it as a Prophet.

Now, he said, “I’m like Moses in the First Age, the next day I’m like Samuel, there’s no Word that can be given.” That’s why the prophet said, “Though these men came and said Brother Branham you’d be the one to write a Bible. You’d be the one to put those in there, you’d be…say, ‘haw-haw, haw-haw’, hold it.” 

What is that sermon? He preached… that big long sermon, anyway… I know one guy, one Pentecostal Jesus-only whatever he is, when I made public in the little book that there was only Seven Seals, and was already in the book.

Oh, he was yapping my spine and down the other. I could take a four by four and knock his cotton picking head off. I could still do it, just about… I’m not as mad as I sound, don’t worry about it.

I’m just letting you know that I’m tired, tired, tired of all this hogwash. I’ve had it all these years, just sick of it.

And so, when Brother Branham preached it, he didn’t think that Brother Branham talked to me privately. Oh, who do you think talked to me about the baptism of the Holy Ghost? I was talking to my shadow? I’m not a liar.

Look, other guys out there can be liars. I’m not a liar, at least I’m not much of a liar. My hand in the cookie jar, sure. phfft! Same as you. But deliberately lies, forget it. I believe I’m born again. No way, Judge.

All right. In the day of the Lord, He’s Judge. Which is also the time of the Resurrection. Let’s go back to,

Now listen, He said that, didn’t He? Now watch: just hold your finger there,

That was said afterward, and a prophesy is a day of the Lord. So, how are you going to hear His Words? You better have a prophet. Now, I’m not kidding you.

Hearing and resurrection. And when they heard Him back there, as the prophet, there was a resurrection. And when they hear Him here, “the Lord descended with a Shout,” there’d be a resurrection. And He’s Judge.

Yep, you follow what I’m trying to tell you? He’s here, and He’s here as Judge. Oh, one of these days, we’re going to get real serious and real sweet, don’t worry.

I’m banking on it, don’t you ever kid yourself. I get my bad days. I was so grouchy Sunday I thought the Spirit of God left me. But He ain’t. He ain’t. No way, I know I’d get up here, be alright, because that’s what it’s all about.

Now,

Do you think the Son’s ever going to die again? He couldn’t die in the first place. His body just went to the grave. He went down, tore the gates of hell, and came right back in His Body, hoop, He’s gone.

He had a few minutes siesta. The Body didn’t even corrupt. You talk about life.

You say, “Well Brother Vayle, that Jesus he had this kind of life, and He went here and He had that kind of life.”

You got to be ridiculous, you’re not hearing what I’m saying. He already had It. I’ve got It, you’ve got It, if you’re born again the Blood’s been applied, and you’re full of the Holy Ghost you’ve got It. See?

How can you be hurt? Baptized in the Holy Ghost, “fan is in His hand, thoroughly purge his floor, gather the wheat in the garner.”

What’s the wheat? Baptized with the Holy Ghost. He’s going to gather every single one in the garner, right in His great big old granary. Right in His big old sheep-fold.

“In my Father’s house are many mansions.” And we get taken to the bridal chamber and to the big Marriage Supper. Yeah.

Okay, keep reading:

When He shows He’s Son of man, He’s already got the authority to judge. Now, when you’ve got the authority to judge, you’re judge. Now, it doesn’t mean you’ve got to do it right now.

A boy or girl can be a father or mother even as a tiny baby, it’s all there waiting for the day. It better be the right day. Everybody gets previous.

Now, He’s telling you, that’s way down the road, a thousand years past now. See? On what grounds? He was a Prophet. Judging men, because He is the Son of man. If He hadn’t been the Son of man He never could be the Judge.

“Well, (you say) couldn’t He have been Lamb and not be Judge?”

Sure, if God wanted it that way. He could have been Lamb and not Judge. But, the minute He’s Prophet, He’s Judge.

You know what I’m saying? Why is a man a judge? Because he studies the law. You get some idiot that doesn’t know the law, he messes up every single time.

I’ve talked to lawyers that didn’t know the law, I knew right away they wouldn’t be any help. I know judges that don’t know the law. And when they do know the law, they wink and go on. They put their own law in.

You know the Supreme Court even said if a man defending himself against arrest kill the policeman, that man’s not libel for murder. But you try to make a judge believe that.

So, any rotten stinking cop can do what he wants. Bully and mess you up, even rape you if that’s what he wants, and you’ve got to stand back and take it.

They don’t care two-bits about the law. Let me tell you, God cares about His Word brother/sister. And don’t think He cares that much about the world, He just goes phfft! like that. But you and I, He cares for. That’s a different thing entirely.

Righteous Judge, is righteous judgment. You bet your sweet life.

Let’s go to Revelation 11: these are just examples, don’t worry. But they’re in the Bible, so they’re good examples. Okay.

That’s what the Word say, that’s what we’re going to get. Revelation 11:15-19.

Okay, Revelation 15:1-8. There’s a Judge there see?

You’ve got to have the seven plagues. No more people coming in brother/sister, just judgment, nobody coming in. 144,000 last one’s sealed, it’s all over. phfft! And judgment hits the earth.

What is He? We’ve crowned Him King, but He’s Judge. You see, this is why God told me that time, He said He didn’t come to earth just to redeem, He went down and brought those people out.

Now, He’s not here just as Prophet, He’s here as Judge. I’ll tell you something: I think I love Him far more as Judge than Prophet. Whew!

Because of what He says brother/sister, about what He said concerning me is what I’m interested in. And every time I get off the hook I go “whew, boy, I’m so happy.” Oh, yes, in verse 4, “for thy judgments are made manifest.”

The were made manifest to us by the Word that was proven that He was that Prophet. Then It says, “You believe Him, you fear Him.” There’s nobody puts fear in the heart of anybody more than a police and a judge.

Now then, when we close in making some comments, based on, Another 85 minutes then we close. Based on Matthew 24:32-33, I don’t know when I’m going to close, I can say this in my notes and start talking, flipping the pages back and forth as I just feel like talking. Last time I feel like anything was when I’m preaching. I feel worse than ever cause there ain’t nothing there. All right,

This is not just Israel, all the signals are in. One side is Malachi 4:1-2. You say, “What’s our sign?” The prophet! “Unto you that fear My Name.” There you are.

And the same 5-6. “Before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, I’m going to send Elijah, and he’ll turn the hearts of the people.” And that’s Acts 3:21, “restoration.” And restoration can only come by Elijah.

So, the signs are in. Israel is the home land, the prophet appeared on the scene. Yep. Which is Joel 2:23.

Let’s go back to,

All right, that goes to James 5:7-8. Now watch this, listen carefully.

Now, that’s the former teaching becomes the latter teaching. It’s the same teaching. God’s got one Word. Now, that’s the husband waiting for the precious fruit of the earth, which is the Resurrection, the First Resurrection, because we’re first fruit. Right?

All right, now watch in verse 9.

“Behold I stand at the door and knock.” What for, He’s trying to get in and help us.

The Messenger from God, Messenger covenant, God Himself in the form of a Spirit, came down through a prophet. Veils Himself in Word. Stands in the midst.

The Kingdom’s here. The Prophet is here, the Judge is here, the King is here. Now, He’s in transition. Former and latter rain, equal Judge, equal King, or transition. See, they’re resolving themselves into each other.

The ultimate is Kings of kings, and Lord of lords. But He’s working with the people, so therefore, prophet. That prophet died, sent forth the Holy Ghost. That runs out.

Fan is in His hand, thoroughly purge His floor. Gather wheat in the garner. Former and latter rain. Restoration of all things. I can’t be giving you the Word again as though it was a matter of giving the Word for the first time. No way.

It’s the same Word brought back. It’s the same Word restored. How, all the loose ends come together. Revealer standing there. Revealer now becomes Judge. See? All right, verse 9, the Judge is at the door. Prophet, Judge.

That takes us right back to,

He appointed a day in which the inhabited world will be judged. That’s the hour He turns exclusively from Prophet to Judge. In the meantime, the seeds of the Judge are forming more and more.

As soon as the last one’s in and child trained, it’s all over. He’s exclusively Judge. Separation. Gets the dead from out of the ground from those who can’t come up.

Gets us out from those who can’t be changed. It’s all over. How? By Word. What Word? Judge. “The foundation of God stands sure, the Lord knows them which are his.”

The fan is in His hand, you can’t tell wheat from tare. You can’t tell false anointed from the real thing, unless it’s just by Word. But people don’t want the Word. I see it everywhere.

Just as sure as He Appears and proves that He is the One in Acts 3: (to restore the Word) He’s also the Judge, Who sentences to death, because they won’t listen. They that don’t hear dies.

That’s what It says in Malachi. That’s what It says in Acts. That’s what It says in Deuteronomy. They didn’t die when Jesus was here, raised up as Moses a Prophet like unto Him.

But you watch under Samuel. Same Spirit. You watch under that discernment, not a heart could hide. What was that? Judging Word. The Lord knew who was His. He knows who is His. We have witness in ourselves.

Listen, that’s Hebrews 6: that’s going to be the whole Bible pretty soon, right? No use preaching if you’ve got the whole Bible. Forget it.

That’s run out, it won’t do you any good. That doesn’t get you there. Oh, it does you good, because, you know, you got through it.

What do you mean? You don’t have to worry about resurrection, you’re not going to die. You don’t have to worry about judgment, you’re not going to be in it. So what, go to perfection. How?

The once for all enlightenment, No more revelation. The Book is open. You can’t add, you can’t take. And it’s got to be just before the great tribulation, because how can you… go in the great tribulation if it doesn’t happen just before great tribulation?

God has to bring them out of the ground and throw them in the great tribulation. He’s not going to bring them out of the ground and throw them in great tribulation, He’s going to throw them in the Lake of Fire.

Now, there’s no fruit-cakes here tonight. There’s nobody mixed up in chronology. We know what we’re talking about, at least I do.

You know what I’m talking about? If you know what I’m talking about, you know what I’m talking about, we all know what I’m talking about.

Tell you right here, “once for all enlightenment.” Once for all enlightenment brings what?

From what? The enlightenment. They said, “Look, come on, come, come, come, come. Look what we’re doing… oh look, come on now, we understand this Word perfectly. It’s in the Word, isn’t it?”

You say, “Yeah, this is the Word too.”

“Well, let’s just l-o-o-o-ve each other.”

That’s what the serpent said to Eve. Love isn’t exactly sex, it may be part of it. But…

Not if they shall fall, having fallen away. They’ll never be renewed in their minds. They can never change their minds again.

As Brother Branham said, “They put the ear to the wall, and the awl goes through.” Showing you the year of jubilee.

You chose to be a prisoner, and this is jubilee. No, they want to go back. Oh, because it’s only a man. Oh, I thank God, it is a man. Oh, how are you going to get to the One you can’t approach unto?

Something’s wrong somewhere, sure ain’t up here, around here as far as I can see.

Now listen,

Spit on him, pluck his beard. Make him naked. Let him stand here and say, “Well, phfft who needed you?” People still say, “Who needs Elijah? I got Jesus, hallelujah.”

He said, “You better have Elijah, or I’m going to come and get you.”

“Oh Lord, we are now, now… we’re too nice.”

I said, I was too nice. I want to tell you something: I got a way as of being led child of God. And then He turned right around. So, I know what I’m talking about now. I’m just as righteous as He is and there’s no guilt.

But I’m going to tell you, it’s only one reason, because I was in the election and ignorant. But you pull it now… you watch what happens.

We’ve got no place today for self-righteousness today brother and legalism. And eternal security is just as rotten, they’re both the same stinking spirit of hell. Never let it kid you. You got both eyes.

“They crucified him afresh.”

And he tells you:

He’s telling you right there, that Word is going to bring forth the children of God out of this earth. He’s the vine dresser, He’s the One that’s doing it.

He said, “I’m the vine, you’re just branches, you’re My Father’s husband.” He’s going to bring them forth, you bet your sweet life. It’s going fit for God.

For at least seventeen years we’ve been listening to the prophet in the Shout. And the Voice will soon raise the dead. And you watch the judgment set in. Yep.

The judgments of God are in the land. But you know what? We just remember this one thing more than any other thing, Abraham turned to that great God.

And he wasn’t at all abashed, he never had any feelings of inferiority, or any feelings of superiority, he talked face to face in a conversational tone, because he knew that God was there for him.

And he said, “Now, Lord, he said, I know You’re here. And I know absolutely that You’re going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, You said so.” But he said, “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

And the Lord stood there and he [Abraham] said, what I’m saying is trying to say is this, “Will you destroy the righteous with the wicked?”

“Far be it from you, He said, I never have and I never will destroy the righteous with the wicked. I’m here to see that the righteous get away before the fire falls.” There’s no way you’re going to get around it brother/sister.

That prophet right today is just a hair from being a judge on the world, because they turned Him down. They crucified Him.

Remember when they crucified him? He said, “Look, people wept, he said, don’t weep for me, weep for yourselves.”

I want to tell you what: This world has crucified Him to themselves afresh. And there are those that are good, kindly intended people, they love to be nice and be good, and everything else, and I appreciate that.

And they may feel very sorrowful that this has happened. I’m going to tell you, put your sorrow where it belongs, on those where judgment falls.

Jesus said, “Don’t weep for Me.” They can’t do a thing to Him. If Satan or anybody could move one hair of His attention, we’d be gone brother/sister. “In Him is neither variableness nor shadow of turning.”

God looked down when He said, “I’m not a man that I should change my mind.” No way. And the foundation of God stands sure, He has always known, foreknown and does know those that are His.”

You bet, there won’t be one righteous perish with the wicked. The Judge said so, because that’s the Word of the Lamb.

Aren’t you glad that you’ve had a Word tonight from a vindicated prophet?

You could have had a word from your church, you could have had a word from your mother in-law, how lucky, how lucky you would have been. Or, from your father in-law, doesn’t really matter, both ma and pa got big mouths these days and the kids are ten time worse.

But we’ve got a Word from the Lord. Vindicated Word.

A Word that was proven could not fail. Yep. And we’re looking at that tonight. That He has been Prophet all along.

But I tell you from what I believe He told me, and He told me so flat, He said, “Just don’t think for one minute, you know, that all He was, was that Lamb.” See?

And I began realizing He was a Prophet. He was a mighty Conqueror. He was a Captain that led Him up there. And He’s everything, the same today, and He’s doing it all over again for the Gentiles, is wonderful.

It’s wonderful to know we can go in this Book and see a repeat performance and know it has to be that same one. Sure, to know that He’s turned back to the Holy Ghost exactly as students, and scholars, and theologians have said.

But as a Prophet said, that One Who was incarnated. That Elohim, that One was down here is Melchisedec, that great One that came down. He in form of an Angel, form of a Cloud, form of a Pillar of Fire. Speaking in a whirl-wind, small Voice, rending rocks.

Why the same one rent the rocks were the prophets. The same One showed the Fire in Tucson. The same One Who was out there and brought the Word back.

Your adulteries and your divorces, and you’re messed up marriages, is all over. And that’s what this was all about.

He said, “I’ve espoused you to one husband. But, he said, you’ve got another husband, you’ve got another Jesus, you’ve got another spirit. You’ve got another word, you’re all messed up, everything is messed up.”

And now He came back and said, “Everything is clear honey, you’re Bride, you’re Bride once more.”

And at the same time as Moses was up in the Mount, there was a Pillar of Fire going up and down, and there was a black cloud going up and down.

But Brother Branham never once mentioned the black cloud, did he? No, he didn’t tell anybody about the black cloud. The people that saw it, knew the black cloud was there and he wouldn’t tell it, because then they’d say, “Who do you think you are?

Now it was bad enough when you said you were Elijah, but now you thinking you’re Moses too.” Who, the two witnesses rolled in one, Moses and Elijah?

No, He said, “Remember Horeb.” My servant Moses, a Pillar of Fire and a black cloud going up and down. Cursing and blessing. God’s Elect and the non-elect.

And the Word came back from the Pillar of Fire where the blessing was. “Don’t ever do it again. Don’t get to your organization, denomination, don’t go back to your vomit.”

I tell you, if you’re Seed, I’m going to tell you what: you go and try and go back and see what happens. Don’t ask your wife or your kids for me to preach a funeral sermon. I just leave you where you are. That’s all.

I’m not… I’m being a little serious, but I want you to get some here, He won’t just cut you down, but it could be you’d be more than cut down.

We are not of those who go back the Bible says to perdition. We are not of those who go back. And there’s no turning back for the Bride. Some might think they’re Bride and fool around.

But Brother Branham said, “The course has been set, the stabilizers have been put in position cresting every storm going right down to the portals and the gateways of heaven.”

That’s what’s been spoken brother/sister. Righteous Prophet, righteous Judge. His Judgments are in the land that’s right. There are in all the earth.

Let’s rise.

Heavenly Father, we look to You again in thanksgiving and in love, because of Your grace and mercy and kindness to us tonight. Allowing us to come together for a Word, Lord, to see how close we are to the judgments in this land that a Bride will soon be taken out of here.

Oh God, how wonderful, that would necessitate a judgment everywhere as the Blood cleansed the heavens, now the judging will also do something tremendous, because there’ll be those who will be able to come back to pick up glorified bodies and those who won’t, will have to wait for the Second Resurrection.

Right across the board, Lord, we believe all mysteries and all pertaining to the Gospel is running out from the great Roman candle starting with God in a prophet.

God His Own Prophet, God the Prophet down here, dealing in a man that You chose, that You formed in a certain way. Made in a certain way for this hour, and we’re grateful, Lord, that… how can we express our gratitude just to know that You allowed us to see Him to know.

It’s… there again puts us with the children of the prophet. Put us… the same Seed, and it humbles us and at the same time exalts us, Lord, and puts all the glory on You.

Because, Lord, You know my own particular case and testimony, no interest, nothing, just out there back in the old swine husks. Sheep trying to act like a pig, and it wasn’t working.

But, Lord, the day I saw Your prophet somehow there had to be something behind the eyes that looked deeper than the casual. And it was never the same again, Lord, it’ll never be the same, but it’s got to be going from glory to glory as by the Spirit found in the Word of God.

Yes Sir, we thank You for that, Lord, until the very Day Star rise, dawn in our hearts. That same thrilling Word that was in the prophet’s now coming to Life within a Bride. We thank You for It, Lord.

O God, we just pray for that day to come and the sweet Spirit moves amongst us healing everybody. Which will signify the Resurrection at hand. Praise God. Oh, what a wonderful day, Lord, that’s around the corner.

What a wonderful day is now. And we thank You, Lord, that we just enter our voices with the prophetic thoughts in the Book of Revelation. We give Thee praise, O God, Who has taken unto Thee Thy great honor, Thy great power.

Now, we look at You, and see You in virtue of Kings of kings and Lord of lords. And we just say, well, sure the enemy comes in like a flood, but our God is His Own standard.

He’s here, He will protect us. He will see us through, descend with a Shout, with a Voice, with a Trumpet. No miss, no way. How we praise Thee.

I pray, Lord, for journeying mercy, for blessings and all the things that are… we feel a requisite, and You promised in a measure these things to us. And they’re good for us.

We appreciate these, Lord. But, just thank You for bringing us to a place where nothing is to be appreciated and heartfelt as this Word is.

We’re glad that, that if we’re not all the way there that You’ve given us a part of It, and we’re very, very thankful for It.

And we’ll give You all the praise in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Okay, let’s sing, ‘Jesus is here’, because that’s what it is all about.
