Why Is He Here #6

Heavenly Father, we’re very grateful again to be in Your Presence knowing that You’re not a God who is a far off, You certainly weren’t that way when by omniscience and omnipotence You could deal with every single one of us no matter where we were but now You’ve come down amongst us and make Yourself welcome in the Bride which we are very grateful to say, “Welcome,” just tremendous privilege to have You here in the form of the Holy Spirit in the fullness of God once more, just at this last day, the hour before destruction and yet the hour before deliverance, Lord.

We’re so happy for that and we thank You, Lord that it’s out of our hands that the invitation and all has been of You, the working and performing has been of You and we take no claim, or no credit whatsoever, just happy, Lord, that You are here and have made us welcome and we make You welcome, oh God.

We pray now You’ll reveal Yourself by Your Word to us this afternoon that we might not falter or stumble in any way but be illumined with the knowledge of God that has that deep pervasive effect upon us, even to the transfiguring of our bodies, Lord.

And we know that this is true, this is that hour for it and we’re very grateful and we count ourselves a part because we’re a part of that revelation which You’ve made known to us.

We give Thee praise and give Thee glory in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

You may be seated.

Brother Vayle goes through some local announcements.

Now let’s not forget that Brother Terry is with us on Tuesday at 7:30pm and I guess that’s all I can say except we’re in for a good time.

I know you appreciate his ministry and we’ll just see what happens in future, perhaps there’s others also that can come by that are very knowledgeable in the Word of this hour.

Now we’re going to continue with the Why He Is Present: this is called message number 6, The Judge and the Bride, and of course, we’ll just get into it with the messages continuing as we go along.

And we’re going to get into the Book of Revelation again, chapter 1, 12-18 and I’ve got myself a stool here and the reason I got it was that I figured that teaching is not meant to be preaching.

So it kind of holds me down up here and if I jump off the stool and start running around you’ll know I went back to meddling instead of teaching.

So I’m just going to see what happens this way and don’t you feel bad, you know, whatever I do up here don’t you worry about it, as long as I preach, as long as I try to preach the Word of the Lord. All right.

We’ll get into Revelation 1:12-18 and it says,

Now the words which we have just read are a description of what John saw first in the series of visions that he had on the Isle of Patmos because he was in Patmos when these visions broke to him over a period of time.

And this vision that we saw here, as the number one of the series, is based on Revelation 1:1 and Revelation 1:10.

And then in verse 10,

Now here then is a revelation of Jehovah Saviour who was in Christ and is now seen in the day of the Lord. Now that’s what we’re looking at.

This is as Brother Branham said, “Projects over into the day of the Lord and in the day of the Lord He stands as Judge.”

Now in The Patmos Vision page 103, Brother Branham said,

The Patmos Vision 60-1204pm

[168]  He was not a priest during this time, neither was He… king, He was… judge. … John went all the way over into the Lord’s day and saw Him coming as the judge.

[170]  He is the judge, the Supreme Judge. And John shows that He wasn’t in the days of His prophecy, as a prophet, neither was He plumb… into the days of His kingship, but He was in the day of the Lord as… Judge.

And he quotes from John 5:22 “For the Father judgeth no man, but [has] committed all judgment unto the Son:”

Then again in page 105, where Brother Branham comments on Daniel 7 which is the same vision back there that Daniel had in the sense of the same personage.

[181]  Old ancient judges wore… white wigs… he saw Him as a judge. …Not as priest, not as king, not as prophet, but as judge. …He’s judge now, come to judge the nations.

Now notice the four; that is four roles in the drama of the eternal ages are mentioned by the prophet. God’s not in four persons but the same God in four roles is set before us here: prophet, priest, judge, king.

And even these four roles are not sufficient to begin to describe Him completely because He’s also known as we know the Messenger of the Covenant, and the Captain of the Host of Israel, and many, many other titles that’s just to mention a couple.

Now all these roles that we mentioned here and many more that we haven’t mentioned have been rehearsed or manifested or dramatized in theophanies which theophanies took the form of a man. Now the word ‘theophany’ isn’t always man.

The word ‘theophany’ is simply from two Greek words, ‘theo’ and ‘Phaneroo’. The word ‘theo’, of course, is God, and when you get into the word ‘Phaneroo’ you’ll find it talks about showing forth.

So when God begin to bring Himself into view which is the same thing Brother Branham called the ‘en morphe’ from the Book of Philippians taking upon Himself the form of a man; it is simply God using a form which in this case we’re talking about He used the form of a man; not a cloud, not a Pillar of Fire, not a whirlwind and so and so.

Now all these roles have been rehearsed or produced in theophonies in the form of a man and though at one time these outward forms of men were direct creations of God there is now a glorified human form born of a woman but true flesh coming from a womb that God veils Himself in as the hour necessitates for the great drama.

Now you can understand what I’m saying. There was a time that God created these bodies in the form of a man.

Now in ‘the form of a man’ that we’re used to and what we’re looking at that form is human flesh from the womb of Mary that God now veils Himself in as is necessitated.

Now if it’s not necessitated He’s not going to use it. So that’s why He clothed Himself but this time in a Pillar of Fire. The body was not necessary. It was used elsewhere for another purpose, not in the consideration of deity but in the consideration of His manhood because He was priest.

Do you follow me? Huh? Don’t follow me? Well, we could be here all day. Anybody… anybody not get what I’m saying? Huh?

Do you follow me? Well, if you don’t say something or kind of raise your eyebrows or put one up or something, I can’t tell too well, see, because I can’t look at you all and try to figure you out. All right.

So all these roles where God must manifest in such a way as to relate to give recognition, communication, it seems the one He used the most was a form of a man which was created.

Now the form of the man you and I are most used to which is “I and my Father are one, the Father dwelleth in me,” was flesh. It was not created and God knows what happened to it.

I’m… Just went back being Logos. I don’t know all the answers but I know at this time we are more concerned with the one that came forth from the womb of Mary, the human flesh.

Now God uses a form as is necessary, the hour, the event, the condition necessitates it. Now don’t forget that because nobody else knows that but us.

Oh, old theologians do but they’re not very bright anyway. They only know it and they go, “Phttt, who cares?” You know, they walk off. “We know better.” See, we know better.

No need for the… God to be here in the form that came from Mary’s womb. Now He could come here in an angel form, no problem. Turn into a Pillar of Fire, no problem. Come here in a whirlwind, no problem.

What… What is the… What necessitates it? What hour? What conditions? See, that’s it. Do you follow me? So that’s why, so all right.

Now let’s follow this through. Prophet, God has always been prophet. The prophet said, “God’s His own prophet.”

Now look, that’s simple to understand how God is His own prophet and how God is prophet because the words of a man don’t work. No way. I don’t care who says it there’s got to be a power behind it.

Now an ancient king and even modern kings and dictators, they can say, “Okay, if you don’t listen to me off goes your head.” They can do it.

But you ask them whether it’s going to rain or not tomorrow; I don’t care if they have the best computers in the world and the finest… what do you call these guys that predict the weather?

Fap, I knew more years than they ever did. I used to read the paper, about twenty some years ago just for fun, and I’d go outside and say, “They’re wrong.” I knew they were wrong.

I didn’t have to look at the stars; something told me they were wrong. I did it day after day after day after day. Something inside of me told me.

Well now, look, to predict a future is predicated upon a foreknowledge that by power or a power that can emit a foreknowledge because if you haven’t got the power to do it then shut your mouth, you know.

That’s why parents threaten their kids all the time and the kids laugh and say, “Ha, ha, ha.” You know.

So God has always been prophet, but openly manifested after He created and set and inhabited the universe in order. Now He always was prophet but He… and… that’s the prophets exactly.

So He was a prophet within Himself, so He was a Foreknower and a Producer, then He begins creating toward habitation. Inhabitants in the habitation. Now, He’s got someone to talk to. So He becomes a prophet to the inhabitants, right? Okay.

Read it again. God has always been prophet, but openly manifested after He created and set and inhabited the universe in order. And thus put forth his prophetic utterances that before He only thought, that included His knowledge.

Now not just included His knowledge, I’m going to read what it’s included with the knowledge.

So it not only included His knowledge but also His curatorial and maintaining power in relation to the inhabitants and thus informs those inhabitants of foreknowledge unto predestination which simply means, “I tell you: it’s going to happen; that’s foreknowledge. And predestination; it does happen.”

Right? Okay. Now we understand each other to this point.

King, He ruled in the heavens absolutely, and He does rule, and in earth all things are even now under His sovereignty to the end that His purposes will prevail.

I’ll read you scripture on that. I won’t read scripture on everything; we just talk like, you know it’s true anyway. All right. Daniel 4:34-35 Nebuchadnezzar finally smartened up.

And oh brother, what an understanding. You know it pays to go crazy to lose your own mind to get the mind of God. Smarts is smarts but wisdom is wisdom. All right.

Now that came from a heathen king who got converted. All right. King.

Judge, number 3. He keeps order by constantly watching over His Word to perform It. You get that in Jeremiah and the Psalms. And all distinctions required by and in predestination are already set through His Word which He enforces. See?

Judge, that’s… Let’s read some scripture on that. I’ll read it over again. Judge, keeps order by constantly watching over His Word to perform it. Now notice, judge and king are a lot alike. Yeah.

Judge and prophet is a lot alike: they’ve got to be because they’re all in there by decree, whereas a prophet to whom the Word comes can judge according to the Word, and a king is able to set a decree which he enforces.

A judge is that one which is considering only the Word, whether it came to him or not, whether that word is by precedents which it would be or how if it’s essential, that judge is set to interrupt it and to give decision which bodies are within the judiciary to carry it out.

Follow? Like our United States government. Okay.

So He keeps order by constantly watching over His Word to perform It, and all decisions required by and in predestination are already set there through His Word which He enforces. In other words, foreknowledge sets the tenor for predestination.

Predestination is the actual conditions and manifestation which should obtain and they will obtain because God won’t fail.

But other conditions can also set there as we saw perversion come in, so therefore, there has to be someone who can tell us what should be the logical outcome of that Word or the right outcome of the Word and in doubt, what is the pronouncement if it is genuine or should be brought back a certain way. See, that’s judge.

Then if somebody else has got to carry that out and enforce it, that’s under the judge. Now that’s a lot different from king.

See, because the judge has enforcement powers arrogated to him through that which is superior to him but there’s nobody superior to a king. See, nobody over king. So these things have their roots in each other.

We’ll get into that a little more as time goes on. But at a certain specific periods as is necessary these elements that are within God and manifest uniquely in men so that we understand He in His own sovereign times and seasons will manifest in these areas, such as, prophet, priest, judge, king. That’s what we’re talking about. See? Okay.

Let’s go to,

Let’s just quickly go back to Romans and we go to,

So you’re looking at the complete gamut here of where He can act in any of these capacities based upon the Word, “He even makes the wrath of man to praise Him,” says the psalmist, “the remainder wrath he doeth restrain”. All right.

As priest we saw Him in a theophany which was formed in a human figure and He was Melchisedec priest king wherein He served Abraham the elements pertaining to His magnificent role Redeemer, Savior, Good Shephard.

Now this priest king which was Elohim in a theophany, a body He made, and He stood there as a man. And what I like about this and I always tell you what intrigues me so much is that here was a man, a king with a kingdom.

Now kingdoms were very small in those days; a city could be a kingdom, you know. Like I hear there is a black fellow down in the States somewhere, down south has got a… he’s made himself king, and I think it’s in the Carolinas, and the government laughs and goes along with it because a lot of money comes out of the town because he’s king.

Well, fap, he’s the king of his imagination but the guy isn’t dumb. He’s not some scrupled up idiot, he’s smart because the bucks are rolling in. Ha, ha, he’s pulling a racket on the white guy, so it serves you right, you know. But you see, he’s no more king there than nothing, you know.

But here’s the point, this Man Melchisedec which was a theophany, do you realize that God was right down there with a bunch of people? And nobody knew who He was but Melchisedec, I mean, but Abraham.

You know, listen, let your minds go, if… You know, I tell you what, if this Word that we believe today was not living Word, it is at least the most intriguing, mind titillating, mind boggy, incisive Word that’s ever been in the world, because in Paul’s day if this is the Word it couldn’t be fulfilled, today is it.

And just look back to… people… and people, do you think anybody but us… us poor idiots that lost our minds like Nebuchadnezzar to get the mind of Christ? Do you think they’d believe the fact that here was an actual king with a retinue and a little palace and that was God?

Well, you can’t believe nothing then. What makes you think you can believe John had the Holy Ghost before he was born? Ha!

Now see if I can’t believe these things why am I talking? Then you say, I believe I’m going to suddenly see the dead come out of the ground? Ha!

Then come on you bunch of jerks, look, I’ve always told them before if you can’t lift ten pounds today you ain’t going to lift ten pounds tomorrow, or a hundred pounds tomorrow: put it that way because that’s what it really should be, a hundred pounds tomorrow.

Now if people simply can’t believe this Book and say, “Hey, look at that.” You ain’t going nowhere, you’re going to sit right here. I want to be nice to you and love you but I might as well be honest with you, I don’t intend to be sitting here with you.

Ha, ha, ha, because look, I know that Melchisedec was literally God in a human form. Yeah, and He’s eating and drinking. You say, “God eating and drinking?”

Mind your own business. Yeah, it’s just… you know, you know what I mean, look, if there ever was high time to believe it’s high time to believe now.

Now, the One speaking those words or the One that was there with Abraham has spoken, conversed, and gave him the elements foreshadows Luke 22:14-18.

All I got to do is get a lamp or a fire up here and I’ll keep my voice low next time. We better get one this week, brothers, you and I’ve got to do some shopping.

What is the trustees stand at the door and reach in their pockets to get the money while you and I shop? I don’t care how they do it, we’ll pay our own way. All right.

Now he tells them that it’s going to be done anew in the kingdom. So that’s where He is King. See? Now, however, notice who is speaking this in Luke. It is he who is the sacrificial Lamb.

He said, “I’ve desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer:” I’m the Lamb that suffers. But the Lamb is the Logos who has become flesh.

Now standing right there is that One, the original Logos, the One standing there is the same Melchisedec but this time it is… it is a body of flesh from the virgin womb, before it was simply created in the form of a man.

Whether God descended, rights? What He does, I don’t know, I just believe the Word.

Now this what we see here, this One we’re talking about, who is the Logos. The same One that was Melchisedec way back there in another form. This is what we want to talk about for a while to set a clear pattern for this hour if we can.

It will make us see why Brother Branham said, “Both prophet, priest and king,” and then he said, “Prophet, judge, and king.”

So, Brother Branham spoke of a prophet turned judge and yet to be king. He also spoke of a priest turned judge and yet to be king. Right? Do you follow me? Okay.

The first: prophet, judge, king is purely Elohim. Prophet, judge, king: God is prophet using a mask when He desires. God is judge using a mask when He desired. God is King using a mask when He desired. And the Old Testament brings this out perfectly.

Moses sat there, prophet judging the tribes. Moses goes off the scene; Samuel comes on the scene, judges Israel by the same Word but he does not receive the Word; he adjudicates by reason of the Word and if he did not have prophetic insight he would have no revelation how to adjudicate by the Word.

He’s got to know to go to God and get it, “What does this mean?”

We saw that in Moses, well, last Wednesday when we looked in the Book of Numbers and we saw a man picking up sticks on the Sabbath and they said, “Hey, I don’t think this is right.”

So they put him in a little place by himself in isolation, and Moses went to God and he said, “Now is this right that this man can pick these sticks up?”

And the Lord says, “No, he’s got to die for what he did.” So therefore, to be judge requires revelation, interpretation.

You’re putting it with the prophetic because the seeds of the prophetic are there and the life of the prophetic that gives it is the same life that interrupts it; not another life.

So, the next thing we saw is a king. Saul had to judge Israel. He did a lousy job so God raised up His own judge king. So we have prophet, judge, king but everyone has the elements of prophet and judge.

You can’t get away from it. See? You can’t do it. That’s why you’ve got church order.

“Brother Branham, what about this? What about that? What about the other thing?” Brother Branham said so. “Well,” they said, “we’ll have our own way,” and they walked off. See? They got in trouble.

Now then that’s Jehovah, we looked back Old Testement. And we want to go into that to see how that makes it prophet, priest and king. That’s how it works out in this hour. Then we’ll see how Elohim as the One who was, is, and is to come, the Almighty.

Now, see, now you heard what I said that’s Elohim. Now keep your thinking caps on because Brother Branham, I already told you, everybody likes rabbit… rabbit’s foot, not horseshoes, rabbit’s foot, horseshoes, same thing, yah.

So they hear Brother Branham say to Hattie Wright, Hattie Moser, when she says, “Brother Branham, that’s nothing but the truth.” And to Fred Barker, “One day you’ll say the right thing.” So everybody wants a rabbit’s foot.

So a guy that was around here years ago, you know, Joe Hankin. I might as well mention the name because he’s the bird that did it. He went out to Tucson and he came back in ’75 or ’76 and he had a secret.

Now we got this right on tape and there’s lots of preachers heard it; we’re not lying to you, telling you.

Now he said, “Listen, I’ve got my secrets from God,” and he said, “I dasen’t tell anybody,” “maybe you daresn’t,” Brother Branham said, “You daresn’t tell anyone.” Well, it was just as good of an expression.

Now he said, “When you get your secret, you daresn’t tell anybody.” And that’s going to put you in the rapture? Rabbit’s foot!

Now I know that it’s a revelation that’s going to put you in the rapture but I don’t believe this stuff because Brother Branham put on tape for everyone to hear those secrets of what you say right back to God.

And it’s right on the tape where he talks about Son of man, Son of God, Son of man, son of David, and he said, “You got to give back to God the right words.”

Now he also said, “that the Bride ministers to the husband what the husband provides, and thereby, blessing it to come back.”

Now let’s look at the prophet and the widow. All right here, the prophet said, “What have you got in the house?” So that set the tenor, that’s the prophet’s words, that’s God’s words.

She said, “I have this oil and a bit of meal.”

He said, “Bring it to me.” Now he said, “You bake a little cake and you give it to me and you watch what happens.”

So she did it and from then God turned His Word back on it and the meal never ceased nor did the oil until there was no necessity, like the Holy Ghost baptizes people there’s no necessity. And when the last one’s in there’s no necessity. See? All right.

We’re looking at how we are not in a place of the rabbit’s foot. We’re not in the place of the ‘up for grabs’ or the ‘guesswork’; we’re in the place of revelation.

Now look at what I’m saying. Then we’ll see how Elohim as the One who was, is and is to come, the Almighty slides from prophet in this hour to judge and king with the One who is called Jesus who has become priest and will be judge and king.

Now in the Book of Revelation you’ve got the designations which we’ll go into. One signifying in the absolute Elohim; one signifying, the other signifying Jesus the Christ, the Logos that was made flesh. All right.

Here’s what the prophet said concerning what I read. Read it again.

“We’ll see how Elohim as the one who was and is to come, the Almighty slides from prophet in this hour right to judge and king with the One who is called Jesus, who is priest and becomes judge and king when Elohim takes on the full representation of the might and the power of Judge throwing things into enforcement.”

Now here is what the prophet said, “When the Holy Spirit that we have, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Spirit becomes incarnated to us in the form of Jesus Christ we’ll crown him King of kings.”

Now he tells you right there, the Elohim with the prophet veiled in a Pillar of Fire has obligated Himself to become judge and king.

At the same time the priest is here, the human element, the virgin produced body which we’ll talk about in a little while is there on the throne to fulfill all that’s been committed unto Him. He will be judge and king. They’ll be one.

Now the elements are still here. That’s why I’m always cautious to let you know we’re in a transition period.

And if you don’t get the transitions you get nothing because it is Son of man, Son of God, Son of man; and everybody but us misses it. They miss the Son of man.

Are you with me? Now I hope you all are, I don’t know. All right.

Exactly so, read it again. “When the Holy Spirit that we have, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Spirit becomes incarnated to us in the form of Jesus Christ we’ll crown him King of kings.” See?

And yet two of them King and Judge will slide in a groove very tight. Judge is coming to it. King… king unites. Judge separates, so-to-speak. King takes preeminence. Judge comes back. Prophetic elements there because your reviews back.

Now you didn’t catch what I’m saying. I was talking about the White Throne judgment. I was talking about the Millennium. I was talking about now going into a logical sequence, so try to listen carefully.

Exactly so, what I’ve said, what Brother Branham said, I’ve quoted. And it is at that time the judgments of God fall. At that time of the reincarnation, see? God going from Pillar of Fire and a prophet, the prophet’s gone.

Pillar of Fire, Son of man ministry, prophetic Word, Shout, here it is. Now watch it swing over. When? As it peters out, hasn’t fulfilled his time. See? Begins moving, moving, moving. See? Okay.

Revelation 15:1-8, I’ll put this together for you as time goes on, just hold everything.

Notice 3 and 4.

So listen, we are looking at the premise, not the promise, the premise of God, Elohim Jehovah, that is the principle, the basic; we’re looking at the doctrine, Elohim Jehovah, Holy Spirit, who is Spirit that no man can see or has seen became flesh and through that literally He became His own Mediator, one who stands between to affect recognition, reconciliation and accord, and who and also, Redeemer of mankind to God, and priest unto God from the human need set forth.

Now there’s a great human need and this One who is Spirit becomes His own Mediator.

Now let’s check that out. The Book of Galatians, I’m not too bright today and not too bright any time so I might not be able to find it.

Well, I got it.

It tells you right there that no man can be his own mediator; he’s a dictator. A mediator signifies three people are in a group, or three elements. And one element is to bring the two other elements together.

So what does God do? He comes down and brings man to Himself, making reconciliation. God was in Christ making reconciliation. See? Mediator.

Now how does He do it? See? What allows this where God can do it? All right. According to the human need. All right.

Go back to Genesis 3:15. Here the trouble has set in, chaos.

All right, Seed, okay. When you talk about seed, you talk about that which comes out of a seed, so there’s a new creation of people going to be on the earth.

That’s why he’s called a first-fruit, and we’re a first-fruit unto him because of the first resurrection. So it’s predicted here.

It tells it’s going to come through the woman. Woman doesn’t have seed, she’s in there to help it but okay.

Back to Isaiah 9, there’s another verse we should all quote but as soon as I memorize, I forget it. I get it mixed up.

Now notice the elements in there. God, man, prophet, priest, king, judge; everything sets in there. The all in all.

Now, let’s go to Luke 1 and learn a little more about this.

Notice verse 31.

Of course, conception takes place in the womb but there must be a previous act if it’s… if the child is to come from human beings. The egg has got to drop down in the womb, the sperm has got to come up through the vaginal canal and so on.

But this places everything in the womb without a man; so if it is without a man, it’s without a woman. Man doesn’t produce the sperm, neither does the woman produce the egg. All right.

That’s,

And then it says,

Now let’s go to,

Now that’s a very, very wonderful Personage. Now you get your thinking caps on with me. We’re going to see where we go.

Now we’re talking about this One for a special purpose of understanding Godhead and what is going on now and what to look for. So this one here in whom God reincarnates Himself.

We’ve read about him. Okay.

Now let’s just stop here and talk about a normal birth, so that we can associate the normal birth to the super normal. In a normal birth each egg and each sperm contains twenty-three chromosomes.

Hey, you’re here, Diane. You’ve made a lot of studies of biology plus bio-chemistry. Peter would know more in bio-chemistry but this is true isn’t it? Each egg and sperm contains twenty-three chromosomes?

Now, let’s just stop here a second, I’ve got to find something.

Chromosome, biological term: each of several thread-like, rod-like, or bead-like bodies which contain… contain the chromatin during the mycotic and mycotic, yes, and mitotic processes.

And I hope this doesn’t go over, Diane’s head, it is certainly going to go over my head in a hurry. Now the chromatin, the portion of the animal or plant cell nucleus which readily takes on things. So there’s a portion of the nucleus of a cell.

Now, it says the chromosome evidently control… contains a portion of the animal or plant cell nucleus which readily, I guess, is viable or something, during the mycotic and mitotic processes. Mitosis maturation process of gametes consisting of chromosome conjugation.

Now the gametes either of two germ cells which unite to form a new organism, a mature reproductive cell. So in here we’re talking about how the chromosome is that which is responsible through what lies in it and the processes inherent in it to literally produce fresh cell.

Is that kind of right? Something like an amoeba, it divides, but this is not an amoeba, this is where two come together and allowed to produce a cell which in… that’s what they do, they unite and become one cell. Right?

And out of that comes all the other cells. Okay. Mitosis, usual method of cell division. In other words, the cells in the body don’t go crazy. It’s a process known to all life. It’s natural.

Now genes, okay. In a normal birth each sperm and egg contains twenty-three chromosomes.

There are, therefore, more than eight million ways they can combine, or let’s face it, they never combine in eight million ways, now they might but hundreds of millions of people but no one person has eight million ways because as soon as the combination is set… Isn’t this right?

The combination is set they just divide according to the combination. Right?

Do you follow what I said? You don’t follow what I said? We’ll look at this, let the sperm and egg get together, right? They become a cell.

Like they come, you know, then everything comes from it. All right then, nothing else enters. It just comes from those two that got together, so there wouldn’t be a chance for one person to have eight million combinations.

Do you know what I’m talking about? Okay.

Now then each chromosome has as many as twelve hundred and fifty genes. Never mind the Georges, because of the genes. Genes, a biological term: the unit of inheritance probably biochemical in nature.

Now do they know anything beyond that statement? Do they know more since this was written? This is maybe an old dictionary. They said it’s probably biochemical.

I guess you’ll let it stand as that being across the board? Which is located on and transmitted by the chromosome and which develops into hereditary character… character as it reacts with the environment and with other genes.

Now I suppose the environment means what’s there in the human body producing it. Is that what the environment means? Or like suppose there’s water around it like, what is that substance.

Okay, that’s from the Greek word ‘geneá’ which means ‘to breed’ or ‘the kind’. Okay.

Now listen! That makes a possible combinations into trillions, possibly one followed by nine thousand zeros. That’s a human birth.

So if you don’t think you’re pretty interested… that’s why Brother Branham said, “The virgin birth of Jesus was nothing alongside of God tracing a cell down through six thousand years and getting just what He wanted.” Okay.

Now, no way does any one person receive the benefit of all that. One followed by nine thousand zeros. Not saying it’s not fair.

Now think of eyes and skin, hair and pigmentation, just the combinations that must lie there in that cell that goes back generation, generation, generation.

If it could be released, now listen carefully, this is my thinking, if this could be released in one person it would take a patched work man at least as big as Texas. Yup, what would his skin be like? The gradations.

You know what variegation is, don’t you? And monochromatic? Monochromatic is taking one color and building it to degrees of intensity.

Variegation is where you take them and you variegate it showing the different areas and you can add to it, using even variegated, it’s the scales. The monochromatic and the variegated which we would be using in this case. All right.

I don’t like to do this because I’m sitting up here and you can’t do it but I look at four people right there. I look at the fifth one. I look at everyone; ain’t one of you got the same pigmentation.

Now you might come close and you might come say, “Well, there’s Caucasian, Negroid,” and what’s that red? I don’t know what it all is. There’s five kinds of main races; red, yellow, black, white, green, purple, whatever you’ve got there.

Look, you can breed purple dogs without hair. They’ve done it right now back what the Incas had; they’ve rebred them. People laughed at the unicorn. They’ve got unicorns today. Beautiful little creatures with a solid horn coming out of his head.

I’d like to buy one but I haven’t got that kind of money. I wouldn’t anyways if I did have that kind of money. Yeah, they’ve got them right now. Now it’s not a true unicorn in the sense of a… you know, whatever that was.

God knows I think it’s a figure of speech but these men read enough books and they have bred what is known as a unicorn. They’re as cute as a button.

It’s like they’ll go… You’ve seen the pictures here. Sure, you all, if you haven’t seen pictures, get yourself a book somewhere, because they’re really cute. Okay.

You consider in one person just one element, merciful heavens, you have what, four people standing on the land’s face of the world to be big enough, to produce all of this? And I’m talking about this for a purpose, see, I’ve got something in my mind.

Now you listen. This is the story of attributes. Right? Attributes, attributes that which attributes. Ha, ha, ha, I’ve got myself in a bind on that because that’s true but look it it’s a lot different.

Things have attributes and the attributes manifest because the attributes are lying there and must come to another place.

Hey, if you’ve got too much sun in your face, get over here somewhere. Don’t worry about me, you can move around, just don’t make a lot of noise. You know, you’re not making noise but if you don’t want the sunshine in your face, just move around a bit until we get the thing fixed.

Now you see what we’re talking about, this is the story of attributes that we’re looking at because you talk about the attributes of a rose.

Soft petal, green stems, green leaves, certain type of leaf with serrations on the edges, some don’t have so many serrations, some are long, some are round: you designate what they are.

Those are the attributes coming forth that were within those genes. The genes are being manifest. The chromosomes are being manifested. See? All right.

Attributes, okay. Jesus was the attribute of God in flesh. Now no one person is the heir manifested of that which lies within two cells, the sperm and ovum; just some, just some.

No one person is heir to the whole contribution of mankind, although in there recessively, yes. See?

Not so with Jesus; it wasn’t so. God took all His attributes, just as we have genes and chromosomes; that was the Logos. Do you follow what I’m saying now?

The Logos, the attribute, the genes, the chromosomes, the life substance within God.

Now He will never produce another God, but there lies in Him that which can produce an actual copy so that Jesus was the actual out-raying of God and he was the exact copy of God because God took from within Himself the attributes that lay there and He miniaturized it.

You know something? If you let your thinking go you’ll find that everything that’s in science today is a reflection from the spiritual; it’s a perversion but it’s a reflection.

Miniaturized circuits, a chip, how many thousands of words or something can a chip contain? I don’t know.

They’ve been miniaturized things so tremendously, I was just reading today, the other day, well, look it, let’s face it; just pick up any… any little pseudo-science magazine and it would have to be pseudo for me because I’m not smart to read real stuff.

I’ve just about got myself ordering a science magazine and I remembered I had one once and forget it: I’d be all day looking up terms. I can’t even, you know, bug myself to look up ordinary terms without going through that.

But look-it, pseudo-science in a special sense of the word, Mechanics Illustrated. Yeah, Popular Science, Electronics, it’s not really pseudo but it’s, let’s call it immature. I can’t even get that through my head.

No, I just don’t work in those realms but I read them and something comes out it to this sense, hey, this guy tells me here, you can take a little tiny piece of something, micro something and you can fill that so full of information and these things and that things, that that thing it’s just marvelous what they do now.

They’ve got computers cut down from big as houses and as big as the Empire State Building, it was almost. How about some computers years were over three floors high, weren’t they? Sure they were.

They’re down to what, the size of your thumb or something almost, well, maybe not that good but they’re getting there. Miniaturization. Circuitry.

Show that in the spiritual and see what you come up with in this hour. See? Okay.

And so miniaturized in God reduced the full, how do you put it? You can’t put ‘input’ because nothing was put into God. He was.

The full spectrum… put it that way, the full spectrum of that which was contained in God was miniaturized and reduced to the size of a sperm and egg which must be seen by microscope.

And I know one sperm, fifty thousand sperm go across the… the cross section down of one hair, and I think the egg is what? Twelve times bigger? Remember, what it was?

Well, it’s much larger anyway because it needs the bedding ground. Whatever it is, I don’t know, it needs it anyway, and some substance there which it is going to work with. Okay.

Those two cells, that’s a baby is born, and a baby that was born from Mary through the chemistry of her body—that’s where she was used in the human race is identified with God through the processes of a human body because it was the processes of a human body that got us messed up. Right?

Do you follow me? Sex. Now the processes are going to get us out, so God miniaturized in essence, it’s not God Himself. I don’t believe in any Puss ‘n Boots story.

If I’m wrong here, I’m just wrong but I’m sorry I’m just… I’d just telling you… just might be telling you lies if I’m telling you wrong but I don’t believe that.

I believe Logos, attributes. Logos is the Word containing the idea; it is the expression, so we have an expression containing the resolution of God. That’s well put. Not containing God, the resolution, the idea, the whole thing behind it.

So God brings that all together and puts it into two little cells, sperm and egg, and the woman’s chemical facilities bring that into a human form. The very life of the attributes of God are in flesh. See? God doesn’t get born. God doesn’t die. But this was for the purpose.

Now, no wonder he was the express copy, the very out-raying of God, he was and is and shall be the very script for the enactment of the roles of God, or the enacted roles of God.

He would be the very script. Is he? But it is a role. So the Word is performing God. This one here is performing God. Yeah, that’s right. So far so good.

As we were in our earthly fathers so this one born and called Jesus was in His Father, and he had to possess in flesh every qualitative attribute in a human form. No wonder he said, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” What more do you expect?

The attributes were there and were made flesh. I got this from Brother Branham, see, the attributes. It takes me a long time… I’ve got twenty-five pages of this and never used them. I prefer to use this.

Then God came and indwelt him. Right. He said, “I’m the Son of God.” and when he said it he meant that he was a Son of God in a way which no other person ever was or could be a son of God.

And when they caught that they said, “If you’re the Son of God, we’re going to kill you as a liar and a blasphemer because you make yourself equal to God,” because the first born son that’s a real son is equal with God the same as Adam was equal with God.

He was equal with God on the ground that he was the manifestation of Godhead in his acts because Adam was to rule, understand and take over, and God was directing him.

Jesus was the last Adam; he was the great one. Ain’t going to be no more Adams. Thank God, who needs him? That is the first Adam.

We need the second Adam… the last Adam, but not that first Adam. He botched things up, just like we’re the last seed, thank God.  Oh man, who wants history to go on? Okay.

Then God came and indwelt him. This one was the prophet. The seed or germ was already there for the manifestation because in Him… in God was to be prophet.

John said, “Behold, the Lamb of God,” in God was to be sacrificed, the Lamb. He was the blood of God. In Him was that particular attribute. He was Redeemer, in Him was to be that. He’s Mediator, in Him was to be that. On and on and on and on.

Now then God left him and he could not die, that is his life taken from him. His life couldn’t be taken from him. See? That’s what death is, is taken from you. They couldn’t take it from him. Couldn’t die. So he gave it up.

“Into Thy hands I commend my spirit.” His spirit went back to God, then God allowed that spirit with His Spirit to go down with the soul into Hades, joined together, raised him to the right hand.

So now He is Lamb of God on top of the one raised in whom God dwelt, God left him in the Garden of Gethsemane stood there as perfect man, couldn’t kill him, suffered more than any man living, drained the blood out of him, still couldn’t die, it comes through the vessels up here that morticians tell when you puncture the body these veins don’t… they don’t come down, the blood doesn’t come down, they’ve got to be punctured, but morticians don’t puncture them, of course, doctors tell us that. I don’t know, I heard it anyway, read it.

A lot of things you read you don’t know but they claim that was how it was, thorn crown brow let the blood out, but the blood couldn’t come normally, a bit around the pericardium, the sword went up there, blood and water came out.

Of course, he was dead by then because he gave his life up. He couldn’t die. See? And then when he died they couldn’t hold him. No way. See? No way. All right.

Now that risen One, see, he is Lamb of God, he is our sacrifice, our propitiation, the turning away of the wrath of the Offended one from the offender, he is our Mediator, open door to get there, he is our intercessor, the one to keep us there.

He is our Priest, that combines within him meditation, intercession, constancy, prevailing; he cannot be other than Hebrews 1:3 which we read, the very out-raying of God. See?

And he is also the manifestation and will be the manifestation to us that all God ever is and desires to be to us.

Now that is why we see Revelation 1:5-7 and don’t make two gods. Now you may think I’m not going to get back to what I’m into today about the judge, but you just hold on because we’ve got another three and a half hours to go.

We’re just not going to take, you know, waste our time today I’m sitting down and get that thing up here right where I don’t even have to yell at you to make sure my voice carries.

We can be here till midnight and you know, and then some of you can fall out the window. You won’t break your neck, you just… wake you up, smarten you up. We’ve got this all figured out. All right.

John…

Now that’s over in verse… chapter 4,

[2] “…I was in the spirit; …a throne… set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

[3] …he that sat was to look upon like a jasper, …sardine stone: …rainbow [around] …the throne, in sight like… an emerald.”

Now God can’t do it, it takes a man. Well, you say, “God can do what He wants.” That’s a lot of hogwash. God can turn Himself into a frog, I suppose, if He wants to turn Himself into a frog. No way.

You know people have an idea because God is spirit He’s not limited. There is nothing that can be described or as purposeful if it is not limited.

Let’s just think it over. If you don’t really understand what I’m saying, you ain’t much of a scientist. You ain’t much of nothing.

I’ll just tell you flat because everything has to have definition to be purposeful and God has definition and thank God He’s got definition the kind that never, never, never, never, never, never changes.

Everything else can go potty and pooey; this earth can disintegrate, the same as we’re disintegrating, and change but God never does. So you better believe He’s got definition. See, if anybody tell you He hasn’t, that’s somebody that doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

You say, …in other words, now the next day you’re going to say, “I’ve waved my arms and I waved my arms through God, and I sniffed and I sniffed up God.” Fap!

See, where you go? You go the way. Ha, ha, ha, ha, the wrong way. A couple of boys were acquainted with some of that stuff.

What man? No man. Looked everywhere. Yeah, they looked everywhere?

Where did he come from? Now see, there you are. You say, “He wasn’t in heaven.” Where was he? Well, the Oneness will say, “Well, you see, he was sucked in but God poofed him out.”

You can think a lot of things. You can think anything you want. I don’t care what you think; it’s your business. I can think what I think, too.

I know what my thinking is, could be wrong but I don’t believe it. It wasn’t ready to be revealed, that’s all. That’s all.

See, it’s time for revelation, and it wasn’t ready but now he can come forth into revelation. And when he does, he came; and who was that bleeding Lamb? Jesus who is the Christ. All right.

I’ve got to read further? Where was I going to go? 1 to 7? I read it.

Now Revelation 1:1, I mean, sorry, yeah, 1:1, that’s what I want.

Okay, next,

Oh, I haven’t read far enough, I said Revelation 1:4,5. I read the wrong page. I’ve got to keep my thumbs from wandering. Okay, start again.

Now there’s two people… two things coming, …there’s one thing coming forth in two parties.

Notice, one which was, and is and is to come, the Almighty; and the other, is Jesus Christ who is the one which was dead and is alive washed us from our sins in his own blood. Okay. The 8th verse.

Now you can tell who that was. That is… that is the original and only and true Elohim the same as up here, the One that’s on the throne is Elohim. See? He’s the same One… well; we’ll talk about that later in Revelation 5, but not right now. Okay.

Now the salutations are from two different people: one is in a spirit form, one is in a physical form. God can’t die. Jesus did die. He did rise. Okay. We understand that.

Now,

See? With that,

What is it? It’s the incarnation. God back in the body. You see? Why? Because the hour dictates it. Okay.

Let’s go to Isaiah 1:21-28. It’s all… I’ll get back, don’t worry, to my sermon. I’ve got lots of time to do that, and you’ve got lots of time to listen.

Sure, thank you for your kind attention; kind or unkind attention. Just stay with the boat. I’ve got to have someone to preach to, otherwise what’s the use? I don’t want to go on the road, just want to get on the road. All right.

Okay. Compare this with,

There you are. You see what I’m trying to tell you. Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New. You’re back to the reincarnation. You’re back to judgments. See?

Now just keep all those things in mind. Jehovah of the Old is Jesus of the New: it’s the same One. He just left the Pillar of Fire. He left the theophonic body that looked like a man, was an angel perhaps. See?

Jesus had a theophonic body for a while, then he was in an archangel. That’s that Logos. God putting His attributes in there. But this one that was born of Mary was the fullness of the attributes.

And if we would have attributes in the human being of a complexity of one with nine thousand zeros behind it, if that’s… if that would be one person out of that number could have all of those or let’s face it, it’s worse than that. It’s if two people could have the same.

What about him in whom it dwells? There’s no limit yet people want to… they want to just sit and become stagnant. How can you become stagnant when you’re identified in Him?

How many trillions of years will it take for us to plumb just one attribute of God that we stumble at today? It staggers the mind. And so it should, be we’re in the staggering business. So the Elohim of the Old, Jehovah of the Old is Jesus of the New. All right.

We now go back to this our day, see, it started back there saying, telling you, hold it. Judge, prophet, judge, king, prophet, priest, king. And incarnation has to take place bringing them together.

In the meantime, the elements as are requisite and prerequisite because nothing is requisite that is not prerequisite are coming forth.

And when I say elements coming forth as are requisite based upon a pre-requisition or predestination coming into effect from foreordination going on now we are looking at God manifesting in this hour in a certain way and if you don’t give it back to God you’re never going to make it.

This is no rabbit’s foot. See? Okay.

Let’s go to Luke chapter 17: we’re dealing with the judge. Okay. 20th verse.

It’s here and you’re looking at it and you can’t tell it, because if the King is there, the kingdom is there. You’re not dealing with earthly propositions, my brother, my sister, you’re dealing with Creator.

In Him was the seeds of Creator, that’s why he took the bread that was dead and blessed it and it came alive. He could touch the beard of the man dead, and he came alive because he was the Resurrection. See?

He was that One the attributes lay there. That’s why he could say, “He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father.” I… I… there’s no problem, don’t look at me.

You just give old Lee Vayle all the money of the Rothschild’s and the Rockefeller’s have, give me power of attorney. When I start spreading the money around you’ll see the Rockefeller’s and the Rothschild’s.

I’m just giving a lousy illustration what’s real. I ain’t very smart. I’m just groping, see what I could, maybe God will show me someday. Well, He will if we go on with that.

Now he said, “As I’m here and I am King.” Now he’s no phony king because he said, “Can I not presently call twelve legions of angels?” He was the captain of the host of Israel. But it wasn’t time. Time now.

He said, “I’ve got to leave it sit. I’ve got to leave it sit. I’ve got to let that sit. I’ve got to let that sit.” Why? Because the Son of man must suffer. Let’s watch it.

Well come on now it wasn’t that day. It was based upon that day. This is future. See? It was in a human body in that day but the life that was in the human body will repeat.

Do you understand what I’m saying? He came forth as a virgin born one, God in human flesh, the attribute of God, the Logos. Now it won’t be that way as the original light was in the man, and he was that light. See, at that time.

Next time, Son of man is strictly light. Prophet, thy word is the light.

What will the next generation do? According to all these fundamentalists that are dead as a bunch of dodos and they’re going to be right here with the foolish virgin, and they’ll go absolutely, to the great tribulation.

They got this mixed up, “Oh, we’ll all recognize him.” Like fun you will. And then if you do recognize Him, then He’s not the same yesterday, today and forever. They said they’ll crucify Him afresh to themselves.

Now listen!

Listen, I could take my coat off and get up and fight now but I’ll just get too hot. But I want to tell you something, I don’t buy that nonsense. I just see myself again a bunch of Christ killers.

Now you can say what you want. I’m not bitter and I’m not vindictive. But I’m just going to tell you something, smarten up people here, smarten up. I’m not wasting my time with a bunch of deadbeats.

It’s not that I’m God or anything but I’m not preaching here this way for a purpose of just talking, because I’m not just talking tonight because my strength goes and I can be sick for days after stuff, after a long subject like this.

I’d just sooner look out the window and watch the birds, but I tell you this is far greater than watching birds. Watching doves and eagles, hopefully.

Now listen! They were too busy with what? Marrying and giving in marriage. I’ll tell you what that is in my books; running from church to church, and every consideration because they can’t stand still.

Do you get what I’m saying over here? They can’t stand still for the first Resurrection, that’s why Ephraim couldn’t do it. Can’t stand still.

I’ll tell you something, anybody want to leave this church, just do me one favor, say, “Brother Vayle, I’m not coming back.” And I’ll see that you don’t.

So tell me, because we’re too late. I can’t waste my time. You know, I’m not hard and mean, I’m just telling you the truth.

I want you to become serious and I want you to be dead serious because look, it’s laid out here in Scripture, “Thus saith the holy Word of Almighty God.” I’m not ranting and raving up here like some idiot.

Now it tells you, destruction lies for that nonsense. Rome’s going to come in. Now the Bible said, “The flood will come in and God raises a standard.” God’s His own standard.

Tell me one thing that God isn’t His own because He’s the original. He’s His own messenger. He’s His own prophet. He’s His own pastor. He’s His own everything. See? Now it comes in like a flood, sure. There’s only One to stem it and that’s the Son of man.

Same day.

Now in one area you have idolatry to the apex: Noah’s day; the other you have sinful, degenerate lustful sex to the nth degree. So blinded were they in Sodom when the angels struck them blind they were still searching for the door.

Men will be carried away religiously to find the door that leads to excessive spiritual adulteries until there’s nothing but filth. They’re already blind and they’re doing it. See?

I said, “Brother, let’s get this, there comes a day when it’s too late to repent.”

There comes a day when it’s too late to change the mind, and it tells you that day right here and it’s the day of the Son of man repeating. God vindicating that He is on the scene. God vindicating He is here with the prophet. “The Lord shall descend with a shout.”

They say, “So what? He’s always been here. Right?”

The gates of hell are beginning to squeak and squawk and they’ll squeak more and more and squawk more and more and God knows what will happen to you and me as there comes a squeeze from the inside, the outside, the whole thing, there could be sickness and God knows what comes amongst us, praying and trying to get help.

No help, watch that squeeze, it can’t do anything but it can’t squeeze God out of you. And it can’t squeeze you out of God if you’re a true child of God. See? One great test is deception. I think we’re pretty well over that. See?

Because false… a man to be a false prophet isn’t a guy that gabbles and says something wrong: a false prophet is a man that’s got a ministry that’s valid, that could shake the universe almost but he’s off the Word.

There ain’t none of those amongst us, never will be as far as I can see. Oh, they try to get them out here, west, that’s their business. I wouldn’t give you time of the day for it.

Prophet is Son of man. God, Elohim as in Genesis 18:17-23, 25. Now I’m nice I rap your knuckles, now I’ll get nice again. Don’t mind me, I just live here. It’s a house, isn’t it? Okay.

So I start today, I’m groggy until I get here and then I get woopy goody. So I say I sit down on the chair and pretty soon I’ve a little swinging basket, a swinging to fan my brow and I’ll just preach day and night for, you know. I could tease you, it won’t hurt you none.

Now listen! He’s prophet turning judge and when the Word comes back to God they turned down My messengers flat, judgment hit. You’ve got to turn down the prophet before judgment hits. God is becoming Judge in this very hour.

Now I’m talking about the Judge and the Bride because He’s standing in the midst. We’ll get to that but I want to show you the transition. See?

And then he asked you a question, “When Sodom and Gomorrah was burned up, who owned it?” Nobody but God.

I don’t think they came by that place for a long time, don’t worry, the same when Nineveh fell, just the hooty owls and the satires and the things went in there and the crows, I guess, a few buzzards, and the people were scared to even go in it. See?

All right. That’s what is coming on the earth. See?

The righteous judge stood there as a prophet. Now, wait a minute, just leave that a second. Let me find you something here. It’s always hard to get these little minor prophets in there lined up. Okay.

He stands there as a judge but He can’t judge until the Word goes forth. See? No way, see. “Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet…”

Now, truly the righteous was Abraham and Sarah. They were not down there on the plains but in heavenly places in the mountains above the plains. Now watch this righteous judge when it comes time to deal with Abraham, chapter 20.

Now she was already changed, yup, she was young again. Back there in the tent when God spoke to her… them and said, “Now Sarah’s going to have a child,” she said, “Shall my lord and I have sexual pleasure again?”

In other words, “What’s going on? We couldn’t do it before, have a child, we ain’t going to have one now likely.” That’s all it meant, was a pleasurable act. She didn’t believe. And Abimelech came near her and said, no…

Now you see this old boy is a nice old boy but he acts without the revelation. He acted on a lie. He said, “Well, a nice man told him a lie.” It was still a lie. Well, what Abraham said at that time was not the Word of God.

People got mixed up with Brother Branham, too. Brother Branham said, “Wouldn’t it be nice if your daughter… my son, your son and my daughter got married?” They said, “Well, they’re supposed to get married.” They’re still not married. She got a nice man instead with another guy. I wouldn’t have married him either.

Brother Branham said, “I’ll come by and eat a steak in your house.” Talking to a nice young girl who is going to grow up and get married, perhaps, so now Brother Branham’s got to come back and eat a steak. Was he talking as a man? Was he talking as a… as God?

No, Abraham wasn’t talking as God here. He’s talking as a man, a scared man, too, by the way. Talking as a rabbit and a scared rabbit. Not sheep. Could be a scared sheep, too, because scared, you’re a scared sheep; God said he was.

Now he was dead both ways. He was dead if he kept her and he was dead if he gave her back and Abraham didn’t pray.

Well, you say, “God’s pretty prejudice.” I hope to tell you He is. I hope to tell you He is. See? All right.

Now in other words, He just turned the tables on him. He said, “Okay, you’re going to get what Sarah had, you’re all dead.” Now the tribe is gone. All right.

The righteous judge revenges on evil but nowhere would he touch his own. So we want to state a premise here that can’t be broken, it can’t be touched. Can’t add or be taken from. Can’t do a word about it, it is this.

As we consider the role of judge we are talking about that role contingent to the Bride for we saw this judge in the Lord’s Day standing in the midst of seven golden lampstands.

Now remember, redemption is by blood and the Lamb was God’s flesh, flesh that became human through Mary’s womb, her body.

So no role, no role of God, nothing from God, bar none, none whatsoever, and under no condition can compete with the Lamb or abrogate the protected vicarious mission of the Lamb but rather adorn and complement and enhance and delineate and glorify the Lamb.

In other words, with God you don’t pit role against role.

Do you understand what these legalists have done? They pit role against role. Is God divided? Is He some kind of a nut that changed His mind? Does He have a role of this day and He forgets it the next day? Well, come on. No way.

The judge stands in the Bride, the same Pillar of Fire is the righteous judge, veils the righteous judge, veils Elohim standing right here and the investigating angels, the flying saucers have gone out. Come on.

Now on, just try to pit the judge against the Lamb, same Person. And that’s the center of the universe is redemption. The centrality of the cross.

So whatsoever role is manifested will invariably delineate, glorify, enhance, complement, adorn, elucidate, magnify the Lamb. Okay.

I like this, don’t you? I’m ready to go home yet. Oh yes, oh, about ten, ten, just a few more pages but those few pages are the hard ones. It’s a long, long part in there, just a long, long way to go, but the longest way home is the sweetest way around when you love… when you’re in love.

I used to love to have… if you had a horse and buggy in the old days it was so nice to have the horse want to eat grass so that you wouldn’t get the girlfriend home so quick.

I never even had a horse and buggy, ha, ha, we walked, it was better still, you’d always make her sit down and just say, “You ain’t going home yet, kid, no way.”

2 Corinthians, the 5th chapter beginning at verse 14.

In other words, where Paul said, “I’ve been crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live yet not I but Christ lives in me.”

In other words, get born again and the Holy Spirit will live through you.

Now that’s laid out there exactly what the Lamb does.

Now let’s go to Romans 5. We want to see about Romans here, the 5th chapter and beginning in verse 8.

How can the man that saves you from wrath kick you in the teeth into wrath? Legalism is sick, sick, sick, to attempt to make the Judge fight the Lamb when He is indeed the Lamb. It’s sick, sick, sick. It’s anti-Christ.

Legalism stinks and let me tell you eternal security is nothing but legalism extended in the opposite direction. Grace, amazing grace. It’s to know Him and those attributes manifested and now projected toward us. That’s why they were sealed in, in the first place.

It can’t pit the Lamb against the Judge. The minute you do, the Judge walks out. There’s no Judge with the Lamb. One person, but the Lamb is not Judge. He’s the Justifier but you wait until it’s time for judgment and the Bride’s gone. That’s another story.

The same one that’s Judge is the Lamb. He gets to the Lamb first, it’s all over. The Lamb gets you… if the Lamb gets you first it’s all over. All right. Okay.

In the power and authority of God is both life and death: Deuteronomy 32. Are you still following me? See, I’m getting you back now to this Judge. I had to take it all the way around to show you exactly who is who and what is what. See?

That that God before He came forth in a Logos that came flesh, always was, and He had to become flesh in His own way which God Himself cannot be a human being per se, because He’s Spirit and He does not make Himself a human being per se.

He takes all those attributes, everything in there and this One becomes that Son that He can inhabit and thereby God becomes Son.

And that life that was shed was a peculiar life, brother/sister, not like yours and mine. It was not the life of Adam. It could not have been the same or He would have got us right smack dab back into sin.

You’re talking of a last Adam, second Adam… last Adam, second man. See? There is a comparison but all Mary was, was an incubator, never forget that or you’re just right back to being a Trinitarian, Roman Catholic or one of the whore’s daughters, and that’s not very nice.

Merciful God, who wants to be branded that stuff. All right.

36 of 32 of Deuteronomy:

He’s going to be merciful to our land; we’re going to get America back. We’re going to get all these strip mines and all this gunk and all this gook and this atomic stuff is going to be completely gone.

God is smart, He’s going to, ‘Whack’ and burn it right off. Oh, that’s a good fire coming. We don’t know fire in the good sense; we’re going to know it in the good sense.

You know fire in the good sense, hey, that’s great. It made this piece of iron so I can mold it into a plow shear or something, that’s nice, that’s nice. That’s not the fire of God.

The fire of God is greater still. It just remolds everything, puts it back in original shape. Don’t ever fear the fire of God. Don’t get near the Pillar of Fire, that’s none of your business but don’t fear the fire that’s coming.

You won’t… because look-it, you’ll be in the original shape when you get out of here. You won’t need any fire. Don’t worry about that. Na, see how beautiful the Word of God is? Okay.

Romans 14: The power of life and death, notice how he works them. The Book of Romans, the 14th chapter. See, remember Judge and Lamb. Don’t pit them against each other. Take them as they are given.

All right.

We go to Acts, the 10th chapter, we want to read along here. We’re coming to some thoughts but we’ll just bring right to your attention.

Now He’s going to judge the quick also, that means those that are quickened from sin. But that’s a different judgment that we’ll see. Okay.

2 Timothy 4:1-8. Now don’t sell him short, just go right along with everything but you don’t pit one against the other because God can’t change. Those attributes don’t change; they come perfectly every time. All right.

Because He’s in the kingdom, things set up; judge and king are melded together. Where is that? That doesn’t take place on the earth here. Our judgment, remember, Brother Branham had the vision.

He’s going to come and judge you according to the Word that you preached. Now he’s not going to judge them according to the Word as though that Word is going to be a Sword against him; it’s “Did you preach that Word?”

They said, “We’re resting on that.”

Then our hope is this that we’re going to get picked up and taken up because that was their hope. Or they’ll still going to sit there, can’t get out because God’s got to bring them forth with Jesus.

The Bible says, He’s got to bring them forth, just the same as He went down there and preached in upper Sheol and led them forth. He’s got to bring them out again. He’s got to do it. It’s not going to be automatic.

It takes His offices and what He is at that time to do it. And at our time He is a swallower of death. The mad beast Subduer; God is Subduer at this time.

Hey, we should get into zodiac on that. I never will though. But remind me some time and we’ll maybe read a bit from Balajourn and different ones, Sies and different ones, because I’m not smart in those things but just… just made me think, you know, one of the signs in the stars… one of the signs of the zodiac, now you’ve got… we’ve got you know, twelve major signs of the zodiac. Is that right?

Twelve major signs, on those twelve major signs are many minor signs and one of the signs are… is I believe it’s one where the man lion or something like that is over the great circle with the sword to eliminate the serpent.

So He’s the Subduer, the Eliminator, I see He’s Subduer, yeah, commander-in-chief. Right now He’s our commander-in-chief getting us in order, marching orders.

Yeah, see, lots of these things are there. See? We’re looking at this. Okay.

In other words, “Just preach what I want to hear. Preach what I want to hear. Preach what I want to hear.”

Forget that nonsense. If I preach just what you want to hear, you’ve simply got an itching ear. You’re nuts and I’m nuts, too.

I’m not preaching some pleasing… pleasing things here. Look-it, I sit up here or stand up here and I’ll tell you a lot of things I say just make me quiver inside because I say, “Hey man, you’re in trouble. You know, you’ve got to watch.”

We’re in the appearing right now, brother/sister; you’re being judged right now. But there’s a difference because the judge can say, “Life, death; life, death; taken, left; taken, left; this Mine, that no.”

You know, even animals judge. If a… if a female that’s given birth to a bunch of animals or even birds and all, they’re even hatching them in the egg, she’s smart and a bunch come running up to her and want to eat, now she just kicks them out of the way. She knows her own kids.

Judging is absolutely natural, and since we were made in the image of God as though the image has been marred, remember, Adam broke the image back there.

There’s a quote on that but I forget what it is. I can’t remember anything anymore. What’s the use? I’ve got a Bible here. All the quotes… this Bible and the quotes are the same thing.

I just get… I just get what He says and then I take right to Bible; that’s it. Because you see, he said in there, he said, “before it gets entirely king, He’s judge in here, see.”

So I’m watching the transitions. I just watch the transition and here He is the judge. Now we ain’t finished by a long shot. I’m just reading, see. Just getting warmed up on this subject here.

Let’s go to 4 and 12 of Hebrews and see some more here, right in our very hour.

God, judging and proving He’s here. Discern means to judge between, and He’s judging between us by the Word because when He revealed the Word it lets us know who is righteous, now pardon me, lets us know what is righteousness and what is wickedness and who serves God and who doesn’t serve God: Malachi 3:17, 18 based upon 16.

You can’t get away anymore thinking I can say what I want and do what I want and I will make a little sacrifice to God and say, “Hallelujah, Jesus, it’s all over,” and speak in tongues or something else… not many here were tongues-talking in the first place, outside of a couple of us, so that fell on deaf ears but let me assure you what you did, too, in your swill don’t get puffed up; you never even had as much as the good stuff as we had.

At least we got as far as talking in tongues, you never even got that far. What did you have? Paaa. So don’t get full of pride or some kind of junk you had. It’s all limburger cheese sautéed in coal oil. Okay.

1 Peter 4:3-5, you might as well know the truth, that’s what it’s all about.

You might as well grin and bear it because bless God I tell you, the Bible says, “Kiss the Son,” or he’ll laugh at you in derision. God laughs, don’t worry.

Notice, the quick always come ahead of the dead. Why? Because the Bride is exonerated in judgment and then He judges the dead, brings up in a Resurrection, all by themselves, well, not all by themselves, really not because the foolish virgin is there, too. All right.

So we repeat, in the authority and power of God is both life and death. No doubt about it. But consider the Lamb, consider the Lamb.

That’s the Lamb. That’s the Judge. That is the Lamb. That is the Lamb that’s down here is Judge. That’s the Lamb that the prophet.

Elohim is here and this one says what Elohim said because he says nothing but what the Father said, he said, “I am that one,” he said, “that paid the price. I died and I’m alive, and I’ve got the keys to hell and death.” And he said, “In your case I’ve thrown them away. They don’t have a thing to do with you.”

And those that are there, He has to open the door and bring them out. That’s why He’s here. He’s here to bring them out. He’s here to see that we don’t get in.

Oh, come on, brother, we got… listen, this thing is sewed up. You just, listen, don’t you understand that Lamb, you cannot… Everything enhances Him. All right.

In that Lamb there is no power of death in God for that Bride. It is exactly as Jesus said himself, when he was here on earth, he’s got to say the same thing today, the same voice repeats.

Thus as Judge to the Bride it is Luke 18:1-8, now that’s the unjust judge. The woman says, “Avenge me. Make justice work for me. You’ve given that there’s a verdict on this thing, bring it to pass.”

There’s a word out; the righteous won’t perish: get us out of here. He said, “Amen, I’m going to get you out of here.” You think not? Well, I’ve got news for you. He said,

When I come back as a prophet, nobody knows this to be true. They’re only guessing at it. They don’t even know what I’m saying. They know the promise lies there. They know something about it in that respect: there’s a word, there’s a word.

But He said, “They won’t even know when I come that I’m going to do it. I’m going to get them out. I sent a prophet, here I am the Pillar of Fire; this is the day to get you out. I’m the Judge that’s going to exonerate you, put the law to working for you, get the Word in your favor.”

They say, “Blah, judge, phttt! Prophet, phttt! William Branham, phlah! Jesus only, phlah!” Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. See where he went. See where you come out.

You can’t dishonor a prophet of Almighty God, I don’t care if we… and then some man say, “Well, William Branham told lies.” So did Abraham. Smarten up around here. Merciful God, sometimes I think I got to pick up the hammer and hit people.

We should be so used to the gentle Word of God today, man doesn’t need screaming at, shouldn’t need… just one little tone should come running… make us come running to Him and stand up straight as soldiers.

It will come, don’t worry. It’ll come. “How will it come, Brother Vayle?” It’s going to come two ways; squeeze and love.

I don’t think I’d love a girl I didn’t squeeze. Ha, ha, yeah. Squeeze and love; it will be here. It will be here, brother/sister, don’t kid yourself.

I might get pretty touchy at times because I get up here and I preach under some kind of anointing, some kind, I ain’t going to say what kind it is, I get up here preaching and I see these things so clear.

Don’t worry, I’m not pointing the finger just at you. I stand here in fear and trembling.

Romans 8:28-34 let’s look at it.

What does that mean? It means just flat what he said. How in the world could God ever allow the sacrifice of one person for others? But God didn’t say, “Here Son, now I’m going to shove you forward.”

In him was those attributes to step forward. They came from God. They were those attributes of God in flesh. See?

And the Word of the Lord come to him saying, “Look, I tell you what that’s exactly right but you don’t have to. But you have to because it’s in you to do it.”

It was in Judas to do it, and going out and killing himself didn’t alter the case. And Jesus dying didn’t alter his case; the righteous one died, the righteous one rose: it altered our case. That’s what was altered. It was our case. See, they couldn’t hold him.

I don’t care what charge you bring. It is God that said I’m righteous. You can’t reverse His decision. How can the decision of precedence be reversed? How can the decision of outright planning purposeful negotiation and bringing it into being be rescinded? No way!

A dog is a dog is a dog is a dog; and a horse is a horse is a horse is a horse; and a rose is a rose and a rose is a rose: and justification is justification, justification, justification, justification based upon the righteous blood of Jesus Christ, meeting the demands of God.

How are you going to change the Lamb? The Judge enhances the Lamb.

Brother Branham said, “He’s… He is… Christ is the attorney, He is the Judge, and He’s the whole jury, too,” you better believe it, because His Word in heaven is law and every time something happens according to that law, the angels scream, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. Righteous are Thy judgments, oh God.”

It’s time we learned them. Yup, that’s the blood, brother/sister, you can’t put the… you can’t pit the Judge against the Lamb: the Judge was in the Lamb. Where’s the Lamb? In the prophet. Where’s the prophet? That was God the Word. All right.

2 Thessalonians 1, we’re moving down the road a little better than we were thirty-five minutes ago. Ha, it’s not even four o’clock.

Just getting… I was at… the fellow said, “I have not yet begun to fight;” I’ve not yet be… You say, “Okay, Vayle, quit meddling and get to preaching.”

Well, I’ve been trying that but I don’t know if you’re listening or not. Okay. 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, I beg your pardon, 5-10,

Oh, that’s 1 Thessalonians, yeah. No, what have I got here? 2 Thessalonians, first of all I want, then I want 1 Thessalonians.

You know what? I haven’t been hauled into court yet but that could happen, and the sweetest sound anybody can hear in a court is, “Not guilty.”

Now you might know you weren’t guilty anyways. You might have been framed and God knows what because they can get me any time in Canada. They can run me and sit me in a coop up there because you can’t speak out against anybody or anything or you call it ‘hate’.

So anybody wants to see me in jail, you just phone up there and tell them, “Vayle’s going up there to Brother Palberg’s church and he’s going to no doubt hit the Catholics. Pick him up and throw him in jail.” They’ll throw me in jail.

That same law is here, too, if you only knew about it. Your freedoms are gone. You might as well smarten up.

Oh sure, they said for years, you know that acreage wasn’t up there in Alaska, the hundred and some thousand acres for kooks up there like us, but then when they find oil up there, the cat’s out of the bag.

It was Goldwater, I understand, that got that thing rolling, so you see who you can trust. Republican, ha.

In other words, it’s going to take God to get us out of here the same as it is going to take God to get them out of the dirt. So what is it? Mercy. You say, “Hey, you know the Lord is present here; that makes us something.”

Hogwash! Makes you worse than the whole bunch because He’s got to come down and do something for us, after everything has been done in seven church ages we’re so messed up, ‘wretched, miserable, naked, blind,’ and smarting off, like those stinking prostitutes out there.

Oh God, I know the most vulgar sights I saw in my life was a white girl with a black man in front of the, you know, on old Dixie there where they got the big bear up there you know in that area right there.

Near Seed and Taller, right near the circle. She’s right in that little area there where they got the Grace Drugstore and liquor vendors and restaurants and a few things in there, and she had her skirt split plumb up her front to her crotch pretty well, and this black guy with her, and she was just lustfully throwing herself; look, look, you know, look what I’ve got to give to him or something.

Oh, come on, that’s the church that Brother Branham saw with her filth, prostituting themselves all around the country, nothing but filth and we were a part of it. So we don’t got any preeminence.

I’m going to tell you something, I believe it takes more of God to get us out of our mess than it takes God to get them out of the ground, in fact there’s Scripture for it.

So we ain’t got no preeminence. We should have a lot of humility. Yeah, we should have a lot of humility. A lot of sobriety and shame face, and diligently calling him Lord, because He is Lord.

Notice the various things where God placed Himself by way of the veil. The first is a voice, a shout; and that voice rather, which is the shout, it’s a human voice; it is not said to be the voice of God… and when William Branham, those words came, “Behold, as John the Baptist foreran the first coming of Christ, so your ministry… your message will forerun the second coming of Christ,” that was exactly William Branham’s voice that God used.

It’s on a tape where He said, “This is not William Branham speaking; this is the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Is Him calling us to His own wedding supper which is ours, the whole thing laid out before us.

Now wherefore, he said,

Now listen! This One that comes to bring vengeance in the negative, on the earth, judging is here now bringing us vengeance in the positive. In other words, meting out justice. And you know that word ‘justice’ is a form of justification. See? To us it is, where we are declared justified.

Now down to,

All right. It is Isaiah 40: 1- 2 that we are talking about. We’re talking about it now in the light of the Lamb who is turned Judge, cannot abrogate, not for one minute what He has done as the Lamb, no way shape and form, everything He does enhances the mighty work of the Lamb.

Okay, 1 and 2, of,

Now the word ‘double for all their sins’ is when you’re in the Eastern Oriental country and this would pertain for Israel, it pertains for the… for the Mohammedans, no doubt, and for the Hindus and all the people in the East where religions came from.

And that word there, when a man has criminally sinned against a person or owes them money which he won’t pay; the man gets fed up and he puts a sheet of paper on the wall of the church or the gate of the city and he puts the man’s name there, and says this man owes me so and so, and has done so and so.

Then he signs his name, now many times some relative will come by and feel sorry for the guy or the man will smarten up and do something about it.

And he’ll pay the man that he owes it to or makes the thing right, then the man who was done wrong by, takes the sheet of paper and from the bottom and he folds it up double, then nobody can see it; it’s all over.

That’s what it said here. The warfare is accomplished, the testing is over, your sins are blotted out. Why? There’s no sin there.

The blood of Jesus Christ has scattered sin; there will be no evidence. And on top of that he that is born of God does not commit sin which means to initiate it. How can God initiate sin? It was the devil that did it. So it’s blotted out. All right.

Isaiah 40:1-2 gives way to 3:3rd verse.

Now does the Word in all that condition that stands. Say, “Well, the Word stands it just means we’re going to get a hard time.” It doesn’t say that. It says, “God’s Word stands.”  What Word was given? For what time?

Who? God that made it all. That’s the Word of the Lord that’s going to stand. How can you put a Judge against the Lamb when the Lamb is the Judge?

I told you a long time ago my mother always used to tell a little joke and she always loved that little joke.

No, nothing against black people, like I told you before, but the thing was this, it was a black lady, you know, we didn’t have many in Canada so we didn’t think much, you know, about the situation but anyways, this black lady was in town as I told you a little contest given to the prettiest kid to be there.

So they thought, “Well,” they tried to be nice to this lady so they said, “Okay, you give the prize,” so she walked over and gave the apple to her own child. Well, that’s what God does.

If God didn’t prefer me as His child, forget it. If I was a parent and didn’t prefer my child, something’s wrong with me, unless that kid’s sure a mess. Let’s not talk about that. Let’s talk about the Lord. All right.

There is no condemnation. He is prophet, Lamb, and priest, judge and king, all in all, and above all redeemer to buy her back by paying a price. All that was poured into the Logos and from the Logos in flesh it all was poured into the Bride.

The same Jesus in Bride form is here. The same power is here. The same everything is here. That’s what Brother Branham said. The Sealer-in is here to make sure of our redemption. It is Revelation 10:1-7.

Now you know what that is. The mighty messenger come down, time is running out, the prophet stands there, every mystery is fulfilled.

Then Revelation 22:10 the book is opened, can’t close it. “He that is righteous, is righteous still; he that is filthy, is filthy still.” It’s over. “I’ll take this. I’ll leave that.” It’s all done.

It was Himself that came to separate the righteous from the wicked. It is Himself in Revelation 22. Come on, let’s look at it. As soon as the seals were opened the Judging Word has come forth. The whole thing is there before us.

Now it says,

Now he’s telling you about the Spirit. The Spirit is moving. The revelation is the Spirit of Almighty God and as Brother Branham said, the same as Servetus said, “The Spirit of God does not mean a spirit comes out of God, as though it were another spirit; it’s God Himself.”

Oh my, and then people think they’re… there’s more than one God, and then try to make Jesus, God. You can’t make Jesus, God, per se; he’s the attributes, the Logos, and when God reincarnates him He will do so and He’ll disincarnate Himself but they’re one.

How are they one? Simple as ABC, joint control. The Son says nothing but the Father; it’s already been predestinated. That’s where their oneness lies.

Brother Branham said, “That’s the last thing we see is God and the Lamb, is the Lamb is over… over the… on the throne of Zion, fifteen hundred miles pyramidal structure and the Lamb sits there.”

And over Him is what? Pillar of Fire. What’s in that Pillar of Fire? God. But I have another question. What’s in the Bride? God. We’re all one.

“They may be one as we’re One.” We’re right at that to the end of the Word, when the Word… oh, you can’t… you can’t change it, brother/sister.

“Seal up.” This is in particular a history book of definition and of prophecy revealing of foreordained predestination. It’s arrived. No longer a word history; it’s here. It’s in human flesh. See, that’s what I keep preaching.

They don’t understand but Brother Branham said, “Once it was the Word, ‘let there be light’, when the light came it was no longer a Word. It is reality.” And today it is life. It is no longer a word; it is reality.

All right.

Let the false anointed disavow this message. Sure, they will because they don’t want to give Him preeminence. I care not for here in conclusion Numbers 23:16-24 and Revelation 19:11.

Let’s go to Numbers 23, beginning at 16.

You say, “You’ve got to be kidding.” I can’t find it. You shout up. I’ll destroy those who come against My judgment. Did you hear what I said? Exactly right, I have not beheld anything.

And the shout that came with the prophet, was the king in our midst not yet manifested. The judge in process and the whole thing coming into divine order of that which the king promised coming into being. We are about to go into the Millennium. All right.

Closing with Scripture reading, the 10th page of my notes. I’ve got no more notes to read, so I won’t go any further. Aren’t you sorry? Poor, lucky, come on. 19th chapter.

War has not been declared. The trumpet has only sounded for the war and the war comes when the message is rejected. In the meantime it is the war of unbelief on the Word of God and against the righteous ones.

That One in Revelation 1, that One in Revelation 5, that One in Revelation 10 is now in human form. He has crowns.

For a long time the anti-Christ bunch had the crowns; they got the three big crowned deity arrow over there in Rome, the vicar, the false prophet, the false judge, the false ruler, anti-Christ.

Here’s the real One. Here’s the real crown. The saints have crowned Him.

Now listen! Who’s doing that? Well, somebody’s got to tell us. It’s right here in scriptures.

Who is it? The One that’s down here now is going to destroy the anti-Christ. He’s already pulled the skids from under him. He’s already destroyed his foundation.

Yup, you know what would give him foundation today? A true Bride joining the organizations would give them strength and foundation because we’re pillars, part of the foundation of the church but God has put us wise and we’ll not be trapped.

And when we’re gone there is no pillar left. Then watch the organizations come tumbling down. Watch that the great feast will be in the feast of the marriage supper.

Here is the feast when we come back with God in the glorified flesh that was formed in the womb of Mary from the… from those trillions of genes, attributes.

Oh my, what an unfolding of God in Christ is yet to come on this earth in the Millennium, and the thousands and millions of years that are going to follow.

You know, I can sit here and think that it’s pretty good for a duck like me, you know. In fact I find whether I congratulate myself or not congratulate myself, whether I’m telling the truth or not, it certainly feels wonderful, it’s just marvelous to see these things come forth in the Word of God, and to know we are privy to them, we have access to them.

Now I’m going to tell you something, if this was not true, it would be nice for those who do have the truth. Certainly it would, I’ll say with Brother Branham, “If we’re not Bride, there’s a Bride out there somewhere, I don’t want to stand in her way.”

Look, if we’re not getting the truth here, there’s somebody going to get it. And if this can be as thrilling and as energizing as it apparently is through the revelation and I’ve never known revelation to what I’ve known today, the peace of God, the good things of God as I know today in spite of myself.

Well, I’m going to be,… I’ll tell you what may the Lord allow me to stand around and cheer for those who do get it.

One day there was some people that had the right idea, it was right around Old John and he said, “Look,” he said, “I am not the bridegroom; I am the friend of the bridegroom,” and he said, “it is just so nice to stand around and look at the bridegroom, though I’m not the bridegroom and just cheer him on.”

And you know I believe there’s got to be a people somewhere in whom that spirit is. Now that doesn’t mean that we’re not Bride when we say that. That means we’ve got the right spirit.

Yeah, because John had the Holy Ghost in his mother’s womb, and that’s the spirit that made him say that. So we’re getting… we’re getting somewhere to the spirit that wombed Jesus you might say.

Yup, so we’re… we’re fast approaching, but I want you to know this, that that Judge in the midst of the Bride He’s got nothing but praise for the Bride.

See, because she is His masterpiece and there is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. No way, and it doesn’t say who walk not after the flesh, after the spirit. It doesn’t say that.

It doesn’t say that at all, what it tells you, what the law could not do, and is weak to the flesh, God coming in human flesh did it for us, and then through the blood and the sealing back to God has guaranteed that if you die you’re going to make it.

And He said, “As I’m going to come and get them, and they’ve already got the guarantee. I’m going to come down and see that you get your guarantee. I’m going to separate the righteous, because the fan’s in my hand, I’m going to separate and I’m going to see that you make it.”

Now that is the just judgment of God that’s in the earth.

You know something, folk, you’ve got a piece of real estate right now that’s never going to ever decrease in value but it’s going to keep increasing with the increase of God because that piece of real estate is so valuable when God gets through with it He’s going to take and transport up into the heavenlies to the marriage supper, and then He’s going to bring it back down here upon this earth, completely reconditioned and make it the center of the universe.

So I’m going to tell you what, it may be that people think this little real estate we’ve got right here is not too much.

And you look in your three-way mirror and you begin to look down your nose and wonder what people think. Personally I don’t care what anybody thinks anymore.

My wife doesn’t like that, I know, because I’ll go dress in my good clothes and pick up dirt and mess them up, I’ll go someplace in my rotten looking clothes and she’ll say, “Lee, you know you’ve got a cupboards that’s full of suits. It’s just the clothes are hanging. Why don’t you put something nice on?”

Of course, I say the same thing to her at times, so it works both ways. But you know, there it is.

You know, that looked down… people, look at this, look at that, I want to tell you something, brother/sister, the Bible puts a pretty good premium on this body, regardless of that, that it is the vessel that is dying and will die.

There’s a change coming in these cells where they will not be gold-plated cells, they’ll be the gold of God because Brother Branham said, “The cells are going to begin to form around that which lies within the very thing within us, that Word is going to form.” See?

And that’s where we’re bound to that, that’s the Word of the Lord.

Brother Branham on this earth here stood in the form of a prophet judge, the voice of God, the shout of God in this hour and he said, “I want to tell you something,” he said, he said, “you absolutely did not do it. You are justified, the pure, sinless Bride of the Almighty God,” and he said, “thus…” in The Rapture tape, three times, “thus it is spoken, thus it shall be.”

Now look, we’re in that last countdown. It’s all over.

And you know really from this hour on, we ought to have a look let’s face it, if this Word doesn’t change us, forget it. If this preaching isn’t the truth, I messed you up.

But I’m going to tell you something, if this preaching is the truth and I can tell you assuredly from the foundation it is the truth and if you get the foundation right, the other blocks will not be wrong because they won’t match, and everything is matching.

I’m going to tell you something, from this moment on you’re going to find more change in your life than you had previously and I’m going to tell you why because I’m looking for it, too. I’m not looking back.

I know I’ve got a terrible propensity in many ways to be negative in many things, actually the truth of it is not so negative but fighting mad. Just fighting mad about this, and righteous indignation of the wrong sort.

I’ll blow my stack, I’ll admit but I’m going to tell you one thing, I within the revelation in my heart I’ve got a God that’s greater than any force in this world and if I decide, which I won’t, but if it should happen through my temptations I should outlie Abraham, and David, and Jacob and all the rest, He isn’t going to leave me in the lurch. There’s no way.

And I’m… you know I’m not telling for us to go out and sin. You know I’ve said if there should ever be an hour for virtue, this should be the hour.

If there should ever be an hour to be honest, this should be the hour. To be truthful, we should be truthful. To be tempered, we should be temperate. To show grace and mercy, all of these things I am for but that doesn’t do it anymore than sin can destroy.

Then you’re right back to one precept as Terry said so beautifully, “Grace is God plus none.” the minute you change that you simply go back to a principle or a precept. And my God is not a principle or a precept: He is God.

There He is being unveiled today in the midst as it is our fortune, good fortune by the prophetic message delivered us and remaining in our hands to see Him in that transition period, prophet, priest, judge… yeah, prophet, judge, king, prophet, priest, king, yeah. See, how it goes all the way through.

Now that one that’s prophet, judge, king is the One that is prophet, priest, judge, king. See? All the qualities lay in Him, a thousand titles merely describe what lies there. Every one moving and working in its sphere.

One predominant one time, one recessive but never changing. It is the unchanging God. And to know that that One has pronounced meritorious judgment on us in this hour through a prophet is pronouncing the inglorious and the destructive judgment upon the world.

Right? Amen.

Let’s rise.

Heavenly Father, again we are so happy to have been in Your house here to be together, to know the things of God and know Lord, that here again if there wasn’t one feeling of rejoicing, there was not one little trickle within us of inspiration that could be felt, we know that the Word of the Lord will do it just the same because It does not depend upon us, as though we had a part in It for the performance in this hour for this Word of promise, Lord, is what You are doing and we open ourselves in consecration and say, “Lord, do it unto me.”

We can say with the prophet we have consecrated ourselves to this Presence, to this prophet, to this Judge, to this King, to this All in all. We are the children of God through Jesus Christ our Lord coming into the inheritance, and it is You who have done it all and are doing it all.

Lord, we would like to show our appreciation by that thing called ‘the closer walk’. Many people describe it as such but we might describe it as, Lord, to show our appreciation because we know that we couldn’t love You except You loved us first.

And there isn’t anything anybody can ever do for You except You did it for us first and we doing it is not because there is a debt, although there could be something stated that way. But we rather because there is a gratitude for the removal of a debt of… they forgiven.

Lord, may we therefore, out of gratitude, and that’s a pretty big word, respect, loyalty, begin to walk in the Spirit as well as, live in it in a way that, well, Lord, it’ll just causes us to be a little bit more happy with, not with ourselves but with the fact that well, here we are progressing and we know that You want us to progress.

We’re trying to please You, Lord. We really are. We trust that in this all the great concept of being pleasurable to God, reacting from His love will manifest.

That’s what we want, Lord, this wouldn’t be much of a favor to You but we’d feel good about it. Just… just have ourselves cut loose more and more and yielded more and more, that’s what we’d like and we pray for it.

Bless each one, Lord, and just pray each one gets help this afternoon in the realm of the mental, the spiritual, and also, physical because here we are getting older and we’re getting softer and as the prophet said, “If the body turns to mush from what’s left in the ground, the brain turns to mush, too,” and we know, Lord, that that’s pretty accurate assessment of this hour and we… we know that here we are that…hmm, we know more health rules than anybody perhaps than any… any group that ever lived outside of when You took Israel over into Palestine, when You were doing it all for them.

And we’re the weakest and the gongiest of the whole bunch, so we’d appreciate help and we thank You for the help You’ve given because it sure has been wonderful.

And none of us has been tempted above what we’re able to bear and none of us carried any more than we are supposed to carry. It’s been good, Lord, it’s been good, Lord.

We just want to thank You now for grace and mercy and hopefully Lord, we’ll show the same grace and mercy to others that You’ve extended to us because we know nobody’s perfect, Lord, nobody is but we know, Lord, at this end time there isn’t one thing left that we cannot trample You underfoot.

We cannot… we cannot think, rethink, think, and rethink, not anymore, Lord, it’s a changed mind that does one kind of thinking. And God if I haven’t got it, forgive me and help me.

Let this mind be in us which was in Christ, absolutely, absolutely, Lord, at this end time. Help us to this end. And now we just praise You and love You and we know You’re going with us and will be with us to the end in Jesus’ Name, we pray, Amen.

Now don’t forget that Brother Terry Sproule is coming with us Tuesday night. If you can’t be here, I know some of you can’t.

I guess Brother Dave has got to be out of town but business is business, work is work, we understand that. There’ll be a tape, there’ll be a tape, no doubt; we’ll have it.

And just pray about the meeting and we’re not phoning and inviting a lot of folks because I’m just not, it’s I think Brother Miller is coming over and a couple of his people. If you want to invite somebody, you go ahead.

Now look, it’s not a closed meeting by any chance in any shape or form but you know just a meeting. No big deal but anybody’s sure welcome to come to stand up or anything else but the meeting’s on Tuesday.

There’ll be no meeting Wednesday because one meeting a week is enough for an old boy like me. My vacation time, so we’ll be preaching next Sunday we’ll go on the subject matter of today take it further down the road with you. And we’ll go from there.

So let’s sing, “Take the Name of Jesus with you.” Brother Lloyd start it.
