Why Is He Here #6A

Transcript in progress.

Audio is available now.

Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, we’re so glad that You’re here, that You are ending off the day of salvation, the day of redemption, and as You started Yourself, now You are here again to start it, to finish it, takes us right back to the fresh start in the Garden of Eden, and we’re so thankful for that, Lord, when we can all rejoice in Your wonderful revelation of Yourself in the Person of Jesus Christ.

What a tremendous day that will be, and not that this isn’t a tremendous day, it is, because this is the start of that great event. And we’re so grateful for it that here we stand as a part of it, that we are not that those who stand by and look on but we are part of that great drama ourselves, and we are so thankful for it, Lord.

We’re grateful that we’re part of that Word, that life which came from You, and now manifest in this hour. And certainly Lord, it does cause people to wonder and we ourselves would wonder but we have the assurance in ourselves and we are grateful for that.

So, Father now we commend ourselves to the study of Your Word this afternoon. May it be rich and sweet to our souls, Lord, may it be manna from above that’s come down for the specific purpose of translating and transfiguring flesh into immortality and then translating that same in a Rapture to the Wedding Supper and we know from this moment on whether we can actually apprehend it as we ought to, we know deep within ourselves by that same Word given to us that this is the hour of triumph and rejoicing the kingdom of our God on earth has become the kingdom of our God and we are on this very verge of ruling and reigning as priests and kings with You. And we’re very grateful for it.

We cannot thank You enough, Lord, and we know that as time goes on our appreciation shall wax greater and greater through our understanding by revelation our joy shall increase, the Spirit of God and all these things increase because we know that’s Your Will, that’s Your Word, and we thank You for it in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

You may be seated.

Now, of course, you know that I’m not known to be short winded, I may sort of tire a lot of times in a lot of ways but this is one place I don’t try “tire in” too much and I kind of think Brother Bell was so sweet when he said, he said, “It’s not that Brother Vayle is long winded; he’s just got a lot to say about the subject.”

Well, we’ve been going hour after hour after hour on the same subject and this is number 6a, “Why He is Present, The Judge and the Bride.”

So, just relax and I’ll try to do the same and everybody happy, and if you’re not by the time we’re finished I think you will be happy and you’ll be happier Wednesday and then you’ll be happier as time goes on because we’re getting into the fact of the Judge and the Bride, and this is where some of the lovely things come out.

Now we’re taking our time again so we’ll just sort of recap so that you understand very thoroughly how everything is working and dovetailing with the Scripture and you’re a part of it.

Now we’re going to go, of course, to Revelation 1: and I’ll sit here to sort of keep myself under control because you know enthusiasm though it is wonderful and stimulation from revelation is great, you know you can get carried by the stimulation and revelation of somebody else in the sense of stimulation alone but not revelation. And that’s bad.

I want everybody rejoicing because everybody has the same revelation. See? The same stimulation from revelation because this is what it is.

One day we’re going to get so stimulated that the…why, there’s just no use not being changed. I mean, mercy me, if that isn’t the truth of it then Brother Branham lied when he said, “That the shadow is getting more and more to the real.”

And when you start hitting the real, if that doesn’t do something for you, forget it. Ha, I mean look, now you’re only fit for burning, so I reckon just resign yourself. I mean that’s awful to talk this way, isn’t it? No, it’s the right way to talk.

I mean let’s understand we’re… we’re… we’re not fooling ourselves or anybody else anymore. See, you’re… you’re right back, you’re literally right back to the… before the… to pre-creation days, God said.

Ah, ha, and we’re looking for as Brother Branham said, “God…God is going to create anew, not through sex, but He will bring out of the ground; the petroleum, the cosmic light, and the potash and calcium, and He will create again those bodies.”

So that’s His Word going… He’s going to speak, so you’re just… hey, this is great. What’s the use of preaching?

Let’s just get up and scream a little bit and clap our hands and go home. No, all right. You just got to get your… you just got to get to believing because that’s… that’s where the power is.

And here it is, He said,

Now, page 103, Brother Branham said,

The Patmos Vision  60-12-04

[168]  He was not…priest during this time, neither was He…king, He was…judge.

[170]  …He wasn’t in the days of His prophecy, as a prophet, neither was He plumb out into the days of His kingship, but He was in the day of the Lord as…Judge.

Now that’s projecting what John saw to this hour. Then he quotes John 5:22 to which I add verse 27.

And then on page 105,

[181]  …he saw Him as…judge. …Not as priest, not as king, not as prophet, but…judge. …He’s judge now,…

Now it doesn’t mean that He’s judge at that precise moment Brother Branham is preaching, though that goes without saying the elements are there, but he’s looking at the time when John looked at that time and he said, “Now at that time He’s Judge.”

[181]  …come to judge the nations. 

Now the chronology of the roles of God in the drama of redemption and the conclusion of the ages as we know them are most interestingly set forth here. 

Now we’re right back to discussing God in His great drama.

Now when Brother Branham mentioned that, we never knew that that statement or that premise of associating God as the chief actor in a great drama wherein He played different roles and those roles were demonstrated to us or made a revelation to us by that mask or that particular character with the proper accouterments you might say, would show him in that… would reveal him in that drama to us.

And now so we’re looking at the chronology here of the roles of God in the drama of redemption and in the closing hours of the ages as we know them as human beings.

Number one: priest, judge, king. Now there’s a chronology there of roles. Priest, king, or judge, king.

Do you understand what I’m saying? You’ve got a great drama here and there’s three major characters at this point. In the first chronology: priest, judge, king. Now one and the same person. Okay.

Number two: prophet, judge, king. Okay.

Number three: prophet, priest, judge, king.

Now so you’re looking at a series of roles, r-o-l-e-s, in this great drama that are vital to the plan of redemption.

Now to us who understand the Presence of God in this hour, the chronology perfectly clear.

A: One chronology is of Elohim disincarnated in our midst. That’s the One where it’s priest, judge, king.

Now the great drama starts apart from the incarnation, starting with Elohim, just like it says, “In the beginning was the Logos, the Logos was with God, the Logos was God, and the Logos became flesh.” Right?

Okay. We’re looking at the dis-incarnation. We’re looking at Elohim. See? Priest, I mean, sorry, prophet, judge, king. Okay.

B: The other chronology is of the Lamb who is the body of God’s incarnation, and who is awaking the reincarnation of God so as to proceed from priest to judge to king.

C: The third is the incarnation of Elohim from prophet bypassing priest, going to judge and to king. Do you follow me? The body of the incarnated… of the incarnation: priest, judge, king.

All right. The One who will incarnate Himself has always been and will be prophet, judge, king. But at one point He goes back to incarnation and in that place, you’ll notice the office of prophet, and priest are dismissed. It now becomes judge, and king.

Now notice what Brother Branham said, “He standing amongst us in the Person of the Holy Spirit.” Now that’s not Pentecost. That’s not your baptism with the Holy Ghost.

That “Christ in you the hope of glory” is not this. “Christ in you the hope of glory” brings you to the place of this. That’s the baptism with the Holy Ghost of Ephesians 1:13-14, but it runs out. See?

Number two:  quote, “The Son of man has already come from glory.” Son of man? You say, “Hey, that’s got to be the body of the incarnation.” Uh, uh, no, Son of man has already come from glory because he told you, “It’s the Holy Spirit.”

Son of man has already come from glory is revealing himself for the past few years to his church in mercy, showing them his great Presence, His great Parousia. Parousia, Parousia, Parousia, Parousia, great Parousia. Hallelujah. I may sound tough but I am tough.

Let me tell you, if I have any gift or ministry, it is the testimony to Jesus Christ and I’ve always been loyal to Him, and He’s here.

The prophet said, “Your eyes may not see Him but I tell you by vision.”

Do you love Him? You don’t have to love me. That’s beside the point. Who gives a rip? I do but not that much.

No, I’m here for the servant of Jesus Christ and the Word of God. They boiled John in oil for it. Amen, I don’t like the sound of boiling oil but… Who knows what’s ahead of us when the squeeze comes down if we’re here.

The Son of man has already come from glory and is revealing himself for the past few years to his church.

“Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Show me, John. Reveal him unto me. Where is he? I want to see him.” The Pharisees said the same thing.

And he said, “He comes without observation. He’s here and you won’t know it.”

And don’t start looking because He’s under your nose. Shave your mustache off. Never could stand them things anyway.

I’ll quit mumbling up here after a while, don’t worry. I’ll get to preaching after a while and away from meddling, just relax with me. I’m happy.

Son of man has already come from glory revealing himself for the past few years to his church in mercy, showing them His great Presence, doing the same things He did when He was here on earth.

That’s how He appears in signs and wonders, revealing Himself like He did to Abraham before the destruction. He has come now in mercy revealing Himself to the church.

The next time He reveals himself it will be in judgment on the world and nations that forgot God, the same One that’s here will be incarnated again.

Number three: The Elijah of this day is the Lord Jesus Christ; He is to come according to Luke 17:30. Son of man revealed. He’s the Son of man that’s to reveal Himself amongst His people, not a man, God, but it will come through a prophet. He said, “I tell you by vision,” and reveals Him by Word.

Number four: When this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnated to us, the Holy Spirit that we have which our rebirth is already incarnated in us, but for the One to be incarnated to us, He’s got to pick up the body which is the man we know as the Lord Jesus Christ. When this Holy Spirit that we have and it’s the same One that indwells us in a little measure, as the father inseminating his children, inseminating the egg and bringing forth a child.

When this Holy Spirit that we have becomes incarnated to us, the One that’s in our midst now in the form of the Holy Spirit becomes incarnated to us, in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ and we’ll crown him King of kings, and He won’t be prophet, and He won’t be judge to us; He’ll be king.

Understand the chronology a little better now? All right.

One who… one would have to be spiritually blind not to see that this is exactly Malachi 4:1-6, Acts 3:19, Luke 17:20-30, and Revelation 19:11.

So we’re going to take our time and I might have to divide this sermon in two. That’s all right.

That is identical to the Book of Acts, the 3rd chapter, the middle of verse 19, where it says,

That means any part of God which is visible to the eye, there is nothing visible to the eye except the works, so there will be a repeat work.

“If I had not done the work another man did, they had not sinned but now they’ve both seen hated both me and my Father.”

Brother Branham correctly categorized this is the tremendous healing revival which wherein he said, every night when he said, “We’ll ask Him to be here. And He’s here,” he’ll say, “If He’s the same yesterday, and forever. Then He will now do in the Spirit what He did in the flesh.”

And He would begin to do it identifying Himself, that’s that One which was in the incarnation is now here identically disincarnated. That’s Hebrews 13:8 Elohim who does not change.

Remember, the mask can change, the role can change, and many sections of the Word can change in order to embrace and elucidate and manifest but it is the one Spirit at all times. All right.

Times of great refreshing and great healing revival,

Now, in other words, the proclamation will come forth, the shout will come forth before there can be an incarnation, before the flesh can descend and notice what it calls that.

He’s got to stay there in heaven during the time of what can be seen of God is seen and the flesh glorified will not be seen. So, you’re not talking about Him coming down here in human flesh.

You’re talking about the Presence of God becoming visible in another manner. See? This will tend to and literally bring about the visibility of the body. Now he’s got to stay there…

So therefore, we are looking at a prophetic ministry. See? Like unto Moses. And Moses was not God incarnated. Now that prophet that Moses spoke of was God incarnated. All right.

Who was back there with Moses? Pillar of Fire. Who was back there with Paul? Pillar of Fire. And who’s going to be here in this day? Pillar of Fire. You notice the trend always a prophet. All right.

And remember, the prophet never speaks of himself. The veil or reflector of God at that particular time to man is not the Pillar of Fire, it’s the prophet.

God channeling Himself, so therefore, God will channel Himself at the end time. And those who do not hear will be destroyed. This is exactly Luke 17: beginning in verse 20.

Say what you would say, “Who needs it?” That’s the attitude of the smarty-pants, the Trinitarians, and worse even, the Oneness who claim that they’ve got a revelation to turn this down and they’re the worst of the whole bunch.

Now listen! That’s a pretty… that’s a pretty swift answer Jesus gives…gives these serpent seed, children of the devil, Cainites.

They gave Him a… they Him questions, said, “When is the kingdom of God going to come?”

He said, “It won’t do you any good. It will be right there and you’ll miss it.”

Now that’s not a smarty-pants answer. That’s not a sarcastic answer. That’s the truth because it can be as big as a barn; they’ll still miss it.

Who is in the midst of them? The King. The King reduced to a human body that was hated, called illegitimate.

They wouldn’t even give him the credit of looking up his genealogy when old Nicodemus said, “Well,” he said, “does our law condemn a man before we judge him?”

And they said, “Aw, shut-up you idiot, search and see no prophet comes out of Galilee.” And he never came out of Galilee. He only lived in Galilee. He came out of Judea. He was born in Bethlehem, of Judea.

So much for your people who can’t see because there’s no way they can see. I’m not trying to excoriate them as though I’m some smart fellow because I’ve got a revelation.

But I want to tell you something, there would be no judgment of God unto destruction if this could not be actually seen. It is seen and despised. It is seen and crucified. It is seen today.

But he said, “Hold it, he’s got to suffer and die.” And if he suffers and dies, he’s got to rise again, so therefore, this is a repeat somewhere down the turnpike of God’s history where the Son of man will repeat as per se a ministry and the king will be here, and unknown and unobserved.

“I can’t see Him. Where are you God?” I can’t see God but I’m not going to budge from this chair because He’s here; He’s within my view. Yes, He is if I really want to see Him.

Now I can’t see Him in flesh. I can’t see Him in the Pillar of Fire but I can see Him in revealed Word. Now see, that’s nothing wrong with that.

That’s what Samuel… that’s exactly what Samuel saw. It said that he didn’t go to Eli to declare to him the vision. He never saw a thing. He heard.

So therefore, you see with your ears. Well, if you were blind you could see with your ears and with your hands and with your nose even, because they would all shed light.

Did God say you had to see in order to get light?  He said you had to hear. Oh yeah, isn’t it nice? Do you love the Lord? See you think I get carried away and get tough but I’m not. Okay.

Then how would they see these days, the apostles. They’re a part of that generation. They’d be dead, too. So, it’s a generation down the road. What generation?

Now he’s going to tell you, he says here distinctly, “I destroyed the world once by water. The next time by fire.” So, this is the tail end when the days of the Son of man come back. Right?

And you can’t see Him. So, this has nothing to do with the Rapture and the Millennium; it predates it. But you got to see Him. Yeah. Open wide your ears.

You know, that’s true, but it’s not a hundred percent true in this respect; everything senses except maybe serpent seed: everything can sense something. You know I like swatting flies. My wife hates flies. I won’t tell a joke on her but she hates flies and I swat them.

On a nice warm day I go out on the west side of the house when the sun is shining with my flyswatter and I raise it and you know those flies know I’m going to hit and they stand there and they bristle. Even a fly.

God said, “The oxen knows the path to the crib, the eagle knows the path in the air but my people know nothing.” Now that was for Israel, dead as a doornail but we’re not dead. Now they won’t know ‘til it’s over but they sense something. See?

He’ll be standing right there. They’ll be ignorant of Him. Now it won’t be somebody coming saying, “I’m Jesus. Look at the nail prints.”

They’ll be saying, “Hey, I’ve got the right anointing. I’ve got the right word. I’m a prophet. It comes by prophecy.” The sign at the end time is these false anointed birds that follow on. Okay.

With that we go to Revelation 19:11. Now you know where I’m taking you because everybody knows where Revelation 19:11 is, that’s the one seated on the white horse, called the Word of God. If I can just get over to it.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God.” In the beginning, God. Everybody likes to read; in the beginning was the Word, and the Word which was God, and the Word was God.

Why don’t you say, “In the beginning God; He began moving in order to manifest and reveal,” way back that One that in the beginning wanted to reveal and manifest, had to begin forming around Him that which would begin to project and bring into creation that which would receive His projection. Now here is that Logos.

You would have to be as I say, spiritually blind not to understand that God Himself, Elohim the prophet is here waiting for the moment of reincarnation. See?

The priesthood runs out for the Gentiles, it’s all over. The temple fills with smoke, absolutely. Judgment sets in, in the land. See?

Those judgments rocking the earth, then at the end He comes as King and Judge. Sure, because He’s got a scepter. The scepter is a rod of righteousness; scepter stands for authority and there isn’t any authority outside of a Word. See? All right.

To get this even clearer still so that the chronology is seen as one of transition, a natural unfolding and progression that can’t escape our spiritual understanding: we look at the same mighty God in another transition pattern.

The same God but now we’re moving in the same direction from a little different viewpoint in order to see how this works out from a seed form that grows into a mighty pattern.

So, we go to,

It doesn’t mean He’s got to have judgment set in the land at that time because everyone will know the Lord and automatically be obeying; it’s what comes ahead of that that’s going to bring that kingdom in there. His judgments and His justice precedes it.

Now he’s talking about a born child. He’s talking about this great incarnation. He’s talking about this great government and it said, “The zeal of the LORD of hosts,” that means God’s own determination and His zeal for His own Word.

Now our zeal can eat us up. Brother Branham said to a certain man in Dallas, he said that, “Your zeal has outrun your knowledge.” There’s a lot of people got a wrong zeal. Now God’s zeal is going to establish all of this because He is zealous for His Word. He stands behind His Word to perform it. Okay.

Let’s begin to see this Scripture manifested from the seed which is laying here.

Let’s start reviewing it. So, we go to,

Let’s go back to,

Now notice the… now notice what you see there. there is another progression, not a transformation in the sense of the word, but a progression. We’re taking the same thing and moving it now. See?

Now see how they’re taking the Scripture and joining it together here. Okay.

Let’s go to,

His name’s Jesus because he’s going to take the sin of the world. He’s going to be their Saviour. He saves the people. Now this tells you how He’s going to do it. Substitution, and the shedding of blood. Behold, the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world.

And,

See? See, what’s unfolding in the drama, and notice, how every step of revelation comes through manifestation and explanation of the manifestation.

See, that’s what’s wrong when Brother Branham came on the scene. Now look, I’ve got nothing against Tommy Osbourne, a fine man. I wish I was half the man he was. I’d be pretty proud of myself, maybe it’s a good thing I’m not.

But I’m going to tell you something, he blew it. He blew it when he saw what he saw, he listened to a wrong voice. First of all, the wrong voice was, ‘Bible days are here again’, you better watch that one.

That’s pretty tricky because that throws you wide open to the next thing. “This is how it was done in the Bible, you can do it, too.” He didn’t stop and say, “Hey, why is this being done? What is here?” No.

Everything demands an explanation. Revelation by manifestation demands an explanation. Okay, here’s a professor, he’s got his ports out here and everything else, he’s got Bunsen burners and God knows what.

So, he mixes a couple of chemicals, and “pfoo” takes off like that. What was that? Did you see that? Yeah, I saw. Well, the professor had better explain what did it or you might blow yourself up trying to do something. All right.

Let’s… let’s just be honest, here I am in nature, and no surgeons in the house? I don’t want to be operated anyway.

Look, how do you get to know anything about the human body? You know… you know how our good friend Michelangelo got to know so much about it.

It was Michelangelo, wasn’t it? It wasn’t Michelangelo? Yeah, and he took all these corpses, he stole them, he paid for them, and everything else, and he dissected them, and then he drew pictures. See?

Well, you see what you got to do? You’ve got to see, then when you see you’ve got to understand and if there isn’t something there to tell you innately, or outwardly you’ll blow it. Ten to one you’d blow it, if not a million to one you’d blow it.

Now, you can’t fool with God because God has already explained you can’t see Him, all you can do is know that I am there by works but if you don’t understand what’s behind it, you’ll blow it. Because Israel blew it. They saw the works.

Moses and two people only, over twenty, out of two million ever understood the way of God. The rest saw His works and they died. Foolish virgin and what else? See? Okay.

Acts, the 2nd chapter. Now we’re going in the progression here to see these things. It comes from Isaiah.

They said, “Cool it, boy. That doesn’t mean a thing to us if you say five hundred people saw Him. Ha, there’s enough people in Israel here to… we could… there’s thirty thousand could hallucinate like you idiots.”

You know, if a person is not elect, you aren’t going to tell them anything.

Years and years ago I said, and you know now, I’m not much of a preacher but I did say this years and years ago, I said, “You cannot hear Lee Vayle two times in a row and not make a decision, there’s something wrong somewhere.”

And I didn’t know Brother Branham would say the same thing and I even forgot it. I didn’t even know it was in the Bible, though it’s there. After the second admonition reject as a heretic, forget it.

You say, “Why?” Well, if God isn’t that powerful and you’ve got a, you know, blow on His thumb to puff up His right arm up. Ha, I don’t need that kind of a God. I don’t need that kind of a Word.

But see where it places us. That we better smarten up and really believe, too, because we claim to be the elect. We are.

Now, notice the progression. Not several men, One. This One that was born, this One conceived by the Holy Ghost, this One that’s the Lamb, this One that’s going to shed forth the Holy Ghost: all one and the same Person.

And corroborated, Jesus himself, now he… he wasn’t there when God spoke to John. John was witnessing, and when the Spirit of God came down and the people looked and saw in the form of a dove, like the rainbow come down over Brother Branham.

Come on, William Branham doesn’t have any rainbow any more than I’ve got a rainbow, or you’ve got a rainbow.

There’s One that’s got a rainbow, the messenger of the Covenant. He came down with His rainbow. And that’s the only thing people could see was the rainbow, and that was a reflection.

You see? All right.

John was there in the river with Jesus and he said, “That’s the One.” What one? The One that baptized you with the Holy Ghost. Now here He is being proclaimed as that One.

Now Jesus said in John 14:16-18 I’ll read it for you here. The witness, and he said,

Now John said, “You’re looking at the One that baptizes with the Holy Ghost and fire.”

Now Jesus said, “I’ll pray the Father and He will do it.” So, they were looking at the Father incarnated in a vessel. All right.

Just for the sake of a little treat, a little William Branham kind of a treat, to us who are Branhamites after a degree and not all the way. We just recognize him.

What if it were possible that God really does get into the prophets? Not as Redeemer. You know the Bible said, “God was in the prophets.” Right? He spake in the prophets.

Well, was that a voice in the prophets or did God get in the prophet? Well, Brother Branham said that, “Moses went in behind the Pillar of Fire and the Pillar of Fire got in Moses.” It shone right through his skin.

Let’s just say for a second here that God really got into William Branham, would you be seeing God or wouldn’t you be seeing God?

Now if you’re touchy…you see, you with the weak stomach, you know, you’re going to have a problem here. Because you’re more zealous for God than God is zealous for God.

See, nobody likes to think for one minute that God could actually be in a prophet. Well, you say, “How much?” What does it really matter?

You’re called a Christ-ian, in other words, you’re ‘little Christ’. You’re identified as a Christ-ian, that means ‘to go with Christ’ ‘to walk as Christ’.

‘Eeo’ means to walk and ‘Christos’ is of course, a corrupt word and part Latin and part Greek, I suppose, Christos means ‘anointed one’. You’re a messiah. Brother Branham said, “You’re little Messiah-ettes.”

Now if you are… if you are really in Christ then you’re a messiah. Now, you say, oh, that tickles you right, but it doesn’t tickle you if God should be in a prophet, hey? Ha, ha, ha, boy you’ve got a weak stomach in your souls. Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.

I think you’ve got the thing that Brother Branham had physically, gastritis I think it was. Stomach’s like a piece of leather. No, I don’t think that about you. See, now, I believe you believe.

Look, if God was in a prophet and you saw a prophet, you saw God. I’m sorry but that’s it. See, they can’t take a man. Ha, I could say something there but it’s wasting my time because it takes one. Okay.

Acts 2:32-36 based on John 14:16 which in turn is Hebrews 10:11-18. Now we started with… with Isaiah 9: and we began taking you through.

Now we go to,

Ha, did He sit on His own right hand? No, you say, “Well, God doesn’t have a right hand.” All right, it signifies is power. Okay. Just leave it sit there. We’ll get back to this later on because I’m not finished. We’ll take care of it later. Pardon me.

In other words, your baptism with the Holy Ghost proves that the blood has been…has been effective and you’re perfected and Christ stands there as your high priest. See? As soon as you’re full of the Holy Ghost.

And the legalist says, “Hey, I better watch it. There’s no more offering, I could get lost.”

You’re not reading the Bible. The Bible says, “There is no need for an offering. This One took care of it. And the Holy Ghost sealed you in till the day of redemption, when God comes down creates and renews those bodies and changes ours.”

A separate act of God that the baptism with the Holy Ghost ensures.

I take ten thousand five hundred dollars downtown to buy a car. My money ensures that I can get the car for ten thousand five hundred but, the money isn’t the car.

Now when you understand the baptism with the Holy Ghost takes you right up to the day of redemption you will understand that It is not it. You’ve got to get the car so, God Himself comes. That’s why there’s a shout, and a voice and a trumpet. You see? All right.

Then it is Revelation 1:12 now we got him all the way to the high priest here. Now watch where we got Him.

Then it becomes,

What do you see what I’m talking about? Transitions, progression, one God in many roles, many offices, many manifestations, but all to the one end.

Now remember, the One who filled the Lamb with himself left Jesus in Gethsemane and returned to a Pillar of Fire. Right? Right! Thank you. Preach it, Brother Vayle. I’m just kidding.

Acts 9:

It was not the man that appeared. It was a Pillar of Fire and it was the same One that was in the man. The same rock, the same cloud, the same water, the same everything, Elohim. Elohim, Jehovah Savior identified Himself from a Pillar of Fire.

Now we turn to Revelation 4:1-3 and we’re looking down at the end time to the very day of the Lord. Now watch the day of the Lord. Okay. 4:1-3 now this he is caught up in the Rapture.

Notice that God’s His own Messenger at this point. The trumpet is sounded. War is declared. Decisions must be made.

Revelation 5:

Which is,

Which is,

Now it doesn’t say anything about the rainbow. (See?) Not the same. Same Spirit. See, you’re dealing with Elohim. Now what you see here is a judge. What you see over here is the prophet. God Himself has come down with the book. Okay.

We get them together as you saw how they come together: Revelation 10:1 which is Revelation 1:12 standing in the midst of the Bride at the end time in the day of the Lord, God in His role which is coming more and more into view and forming in flesh, coming more and more into view and forming into flesh starting His major drama with figures relative to humanity.

Baby, born, flesh, Prince of peace, Son of David sitting on the throne, counselling, judging, ruling, maintaining, forever and ever, the government on his shoulders, benevolence, taking care of people, eternality in view. See? Coming more and more and more. Okay.

Until we see,

God creating Himself in the form of human flesh. See? Now He did it once coming up from the virgin womb up through these offices, then there is a tapering because He disincarnates Himself which He has.

Now getting ready to identify again in human flesh He starts over looking to the hour of reincarnation. See? Now we’re at that very point now where God is coming to the place of a reincarnation.

Now, of course, He’s been creating Himself in the form of the Bride, and that’s going on right now, invisible union. Jesus forming himself in the form of Bride because that’s the earthly body here with the true representation which is he is a man that we rise to.

Now remember, He came down to us once taking a human form. He doesn’t do that again. No sir, it’s the Spirit that comes down here but notice our progression.

We come to the place where we can go to Him. He said, “I’ll receive you unto myself.” See? You can see our progression. It’s coming closer and closer, and closer and closer, and it’s just wonderful to know it is happening in this hour.

Now that is of He of whom the prophet spoke. This One that we followed all the way through. This One who took upon Himself the form of a man and was mighty God. Now you can’t call a man mighty God without God’s permission, and there’s only one mighty God and He was in the incarnation.

First of all, He made this body by taking His attributes which are simply fantastic. As I mentioned the other day within the ovum and the sperm there’s twenty-three chromosomes which uniting can…can unite eight million different ways and better.

Now that didn’t happen to you. It just lay there as a possibility. How would you like to have all of those in combination right in you as a human being? Shuhh, man.

Eight million, then you take the twelve hundred and fifty about genes, and you get one followed by thirty-six zeros before you get a duplication.

How would you like to be that kind of a person? How would you like someone to honestly regress you so that your mind was entirely blanked out temporarily and you might find that you can speak twenty languages at least, and recall six thousand years of human history because it’s all in there in the genetic pattern.

One day it’s going to happen. In the meantime, you couldn’t take it. Merciful heavens, people who get split personalities have a trouble without having the combination of eight million, then go to one plus with the chances of thirty-six zeros.

How many trillion, trillions is that? Don’t ask me; I’m not smart. I just sit here and give you the figures because I’ve got them in the back of my Bible. Shuhh, man. Think what’s in God. Then think what’s in us through Him and what will be exposed.

Do you know something? I don’t want to digress too much but do you realize today people are sending multiplied billions of dollars just in the study of nature?

And our government gives people, it amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars just to study the wing of a butterfly. And they haven’t even got to the place where I think they’d get by the little crystals, the powdered crystals on the wing.

So, if it hasn’t happened already it will soon happen that knowledge in the world will increase a hundred percent every six months. What’s in us? Man, I could start dancing… I’ve always wanted to be smart.

I always wanted to have something that nobody else ever had. We’ve already got it. Wait till we…wait till we get rid of this bondage. You talk soar like the eagle, Muhammad Ali could talk about his soar like a something, and sting like a bee. Phttt!

Soar like a butterfly, sting… he’s going to see where he made a mistake turning from God. I don’t care how smart he is within his genes, and God’s going to make Muhammad Ali and every musician, and everybody answer for every talent they had.

Don’t ever think He won’t. That’s right. All right.

He said right here, “The beginning the creation of God.” Coming more and more He is into the flesh, and our flesh is going more and more into the Spirit, so that like Him we’ll soon come to glorified flesh. Now if you think you’ve got a good time now you just wait.

Now, that is He of whom the prophets spake when that One that’s now in the form of the Holy Spirit becomes incarnated to us in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ we’ll crown Him King of kings.

Then you know something? You’ve got a job right now even thinking about Him being King because you and I really don’t know what it’s all about.

You wait till the supper; we’ll crown Him King of kings and know what it’s all about. You know why? Because it just naturally comes out. See the barriers are down.

How would you… how would you really act if all the barriers were down? Why I don’t mean anything too bad, although let’s face it, I…neither am I too naïve that this part of my life that the barriers weren’t all… weren’t some of the barriers, just what some of us would be like.

How many bad cheques would we write maybe? There’s nobody here writing bad cheques but the point is this, we could… that has been done by people. I wasn’t thinking of you, Jim, don’t worry. I’m thinking of a guy down in Cincinnati. They’re going to nail him for it.

What… what… you see, I don’t care what’s in a person but what’s in us. What’s in us is adultery. How much adultery would we actually be committing if the bars were down?

How many pocketbooks would we get into and change the records and the books if we had the opportunity? See? We’re looking at that. See? All right.

I’m trying to put this on a spiritual level. If we know ourselves, and come on, we’re not up here trying to, look, should I pass the cookies to the greater saints in the world? Hogwash! Look, the only reason I wasn’t in jail was because they didn’t catch me. You might as well know it.

And the only reason I never got mixed up with wild, wild women is because I made one prayer that God answered. because I knew my weakness.

And I said, “God, don’t even let me know it’s there, if it is there,” and He answered my prayer or I’d have been messed up like Hogan’s goat.

And you know what Hogan’s goat was? Hogan was a prostitute and the goat was Hogan’s boyfriend, and there’s nothing messier than a pimp.

So, I’m laying it on the line today whether… I don’t speak nice pretty language. I lay just where it is and if you got an ounce of brains you’re understanding what I’m saying. We’re all a mess. You bet your sweet life, and we’d be going a certain way.

But you know there’s coming a day when you’re going to go the other way a hundred percent because there is a perfection in the Resurrection.

And if you got enough brains to know just where you go by yourselves without God, and I’ve got enough brains to know that because we’re not stupid here.

We’ve come too far down the road to be illiterates spiritually; we can admit like Brother Branham who cried over the fact he came from murderers, and drunks and God knows what, and no one would even talk to him on the street.

Now you and I know that William Branham was worth talking to regardless of his ancestry because he was through and through genuine, and you and I ain’t so hot.

One day it’s going to change. One day the flesh is going to be glorified. Then you watch the expansiveness of your life and mine over there, and it’s getting closer and closer.

That’s why there is today something is happening all over the world in the Bride. I get my phone calls. I get my letters, and believe me, it is going on. There is a change.

Like Terry said, “Those Cree Indians that stoned and said, ‘Praise the Lord, hallelujah’, stoned out of their skulls with booze and drugs, when the message of grace hit them, there wasn’t one more pill, and one more bottle. That’s right.

You want to see a man get something? Let him be born again. Let him understand grace. Let the revelation come. Let that be his stimulation in his life.

Hey, we’re getting there. There’s no two ways about it, brother/sister. Well, listen, the speed of Jesus was so terrific in the glorified body he could pass through a rock wall.

Like Einstein said, “If you get two things travelling fast enough, and they hit head on they’d pass through each other. No harm done.”

I hope that none of you get travelling so fast you hit the wrong object which is Satan’s wall of unbelief, and you simply smash. Let your minds go.

See, my mind is getting to be gone more and more because you see I can sit here and I tell by revelation I know certain things.

And by revelation you know certain things, and without a revelation I know certain things about you by looking at you that I know, also know that something’s happening. People are changing.

And I think one of the nicest change of all is to see some women begin to absolutely know their place in the Word of God.

And I’m not talking about long hair and being abused by their husbands because believe me the definition for a woman is not a married life that says keep her in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant. That is not what God said.

Let’s get this flat, in Christ there is neither male nor female. In the church offices, yes, but she’ll be just as glorified as a man was, and I’d like to see the man that was the progenitor of Jesus Christ. Only Mary had the privilege of carrying in her womb, the babe.

So, you see I’m looking forward with a great anxiety and anticipation. And my anticipation has been rewarded that I know that women are standing amongst us now with the glory of God on their countenance, and their very being, and they’re going to be in that resurrection and it’s not going to be a man’s resurrection except Jesus, the Man’s Resurrection.

And let’s face it, men, you’ve got something to think of, every one of us is called part of a Bride. So, where’s your macho, macho. Phttt! So much for that. I just love to kill things. Fap.

He’s standing amongst us now in the Person of the Holy Spirit. The Son of man has already come from glory. Praise God. And in mercy brought His Mercy Seat with Him revealing Himself to His church. The next time He reveals Himself it will be in judgment, judging the nations of Revelation 19:11 and so on. All right.

This great One that we’re talking about is Revelation 11:15-19.

Now you say, “What’s that to do with the Judge?” This is the Judge. This is the prophet. This is the King. This is the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace. Amen. So, let’s get busy, busy, busy with the Word of God.

Notice the special phraseology of ‘That One’: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. Elohim Saviour.

He had it all the time and didn’t take it. In Him was to be the Resurrection; didn’t take it till the final hour. In Him was to be King; didn’t take it till a certain hour.

In Him was to be Son; didn’t take it till a certain hour. In Him was to be prophet; didn’t take it till a certain hour. In Him was to be Lamb; didn’t take it till a certain hour. See? In Him was immortality in a human form; didn’t take it till a certain hour.

The One Person, God, dealing in redemption with you and me in this great drama unfolding before our eyes His own glory and we sharing in it.

Oh my, we’re not looking anymore in the window like a little hungry kid in a bakeshop. You know I’ve got an awful sweet tooth and consequently I’ve got sugary eyes. They are.

I’ve got some of the sweetest eyes in the world when it comes to magnetism for pastries. Not that I eat them anymore like I used to because when I go to Europe or any place and I see these goodie-goodie gumdrops, and oh, they make the prettiest looking things all around the world, and you just start to salivate.

Yeah, well, you can only eat so much of that stuff, but you look at it and you desire it.

Now he said,

See? Look you notice at this time where the Bride is, what is going on in heaven with God and the Bride, the actual offices being manifested and on earth the destruction. Okay.

Revelation 11:15-19 is what we’re looking at: that Great One. That Great One is also,

See, they’ve gone through their great time of persecution down on earth here but they missed the great tribulation.

Okay.

Now you’ve got Revelation 4:1, Revelation 5:1, and Revelation 5: and let me see what the verses they are here: 5 to maybe 10 or so combined, because you’ve got the incarnation. See? For who…

Now the day of the wrath of the Lamb is the day of the wrath of God, and it continues for three and half years.

Now the One as prophet with the full potential of Judge in our midst incarnates in the demonstration of the potential as Judge, based on the fullness of the prophet. Now just keep that in your minds. I’ll talk about it more as time goes on. Okay.

They must be kind of like the song leaders up there, the leaders in divine worship. Maybe we’ll talk about this some time, like in a tent, like in a pavilion, a big thing that’s known in history, okay.

Now you see back there in 18, the smoke of the torment is the judge and his decisions being carried out. Now we’re to the key.

Now you’ve got a combination. You don’t only have a judge, you have the commander of the host of Israel, the great general.

How many stars has that general got? Millions, make up the Bride, at least hundreds of thousands. Who knows? He’s got them anyways. He’s got all the stars in His crown. Right.

What about the Bride? Ah, ha, glad you asked.

You know something? The things of God are always dangerous. Brother Branham said, “The worst thing that can happen to a church is for a genuine gift in that church to be used wrong.”

In the end time the anointing of God on the spirits of men produces false prophets. I’m saying that because here is a prophet that John falls on his face and mistakably goes to. I don’t know what it’s all about. Oh, I got my guesses, but my guesses could be wrong. So, I’ll leave it be.

But I’m going to tell you something, that’s a warning right here, for people to think that you know that they could… they can go outside of what a prophet said.

If there’s anything a person ought to do in this age is absolutely go to a man like this and Brother Branham was a man like that, because people tried to worship him and he went into a nervous breakdown because of it.

But that lets you know what a tremendous man that man was that people would even mistake him because you see he had the very ministry of Jesus Christ.

And when you’ve got the very ministry of Jesus Christ conferred upon you many people will say, “Well, hey that makes him Jesus Christ.” It does not make him Jesus Christ, no way.

Any more than you receiving a genuine gift of the Holy Ghost is the Holy Ghost; it’s merely a genuine gift. It’s always the genuine ministry that Brother Branham had was merely one conferred because the real One stood right there. All right.

In all these comments based on Scripture you cannot have helped but see the outworking of Matthew 25:34, 41 not in the White Throne judgment but as in Lk 17:30-37, Matthew 24:37-51 and Matthew 25:1-3.

So, let’s go back to Matthew 25: 34, 41 because I said, in all that you saw here has been an outworking of Matthew 25 and I’ll explain to you.

Now what am I saying here? I’ll read again.

In all these comments, wherein I showed you the transition and what was happening on the left hand and on the right hand due to His Presence in the transition of mortality to immortality and from present cosmos to a cessation and God’s own kingdom and from prophet which was necessary to start it rolling till where He’s literally King.

There is of necessity a minimum of two groups. One on the left hand so-to-speak, one on the right hand. So, you’ve got this one dealing in the capacity because the capacity has gone into manifestation based upon a prophetic Word. It must come to pass. Prophet, judge, king. All right.

As prophet, you can’t help but see him swinging to judge. Now always justice is a vertical with a horizontal. See? Now the vertical is literally a fulcrum, an upright.

The literal axis, extending out here, the two arms of which the weights hang down, you’ve got a little pin that acts and turn and I suppose, that would act as a fulcrum also on the grounds that’s just where these two are going more so than the upright but the measure of the fulcrum would be designated into the vertical which absolutely is God and His Word.

Next, you’ve got this crossbar out here, and you’ve got the Judge weighing His Word against and Himself against the individual. Now you can see Judge here but there can’t be a judge without prophet who brings Word.

Now God takes this out here, this arm that’s on this fulcrum that comes out of God’s Word, God Himself holding His two arms out.

Now on this side, right hand side, here is where God Almighty is weighing the saints, see, against His Word, balanced perfect.

But you know what when He weighs what this is the Word against the enemy it goes zootch, gone. See, there’s always, “Depart from you…Me; Come, ye blessed.”

Now that’s going on now because there’s not a second chance at the White Throne. Going to turn it over? See, at the White Throne the judgment is pronounced based on what is already… Always there is a judgement, immediately the prophet comes on but the prophet is not known as the judge per se.

It is a transition is given it, and has sufficient time to be coped with. Judge hits the scene. Do you follow me? All right. That’s what we saw here. Okay.

Now, if this is the White Throne we have not yet come to it but we’re looking at the same pattern. Okay.

Let’s go to,

Now look, they didn’t get left, there just because that God’s a whimsical God. It’s because of the days of the Son of man.

The prophet, see, “Depart from me.” “Come ye.”  “Depart from me.” “Come ye.” One in the field, left: one in the field, taken: one in the mill, left: one in the mill, taken: one in the bed, left: one in the bed, taken.

Where? Where the eagles are gathering to the body, the somatic body. I don’t care if the doctors tell you and me that we’re in the somatic class of health. That’s a lot of hogwash. We’re dying. There’s not one of us healthy. If this is health, you can have it, lock, stock and barrel.

Like somebody wondered after hearing me preach in Columbus, that everything was in the One that was present, the Millennium. He said, “Did you think Brother Vayle was trying to tell us the Millennium is on?”

Well, if this is the Millennium, that guy that said that can have it. I don’t need this kind of a Millennium. A thousand years of this? Fap. Now a thousand years in good health which means a resurrected body I’ll buy it. And just keep pouring it on. All right.

So, you can see here, somatic body, the never dying body. Where? In the rapture this is going on. But it is already a predestinated through where the Word goes.

Now here’s your up and down, vertical, here’s your fulcrum, here’s your bastard over here in the Word, here’s your saint and he says, “Give me more, give me more, give me more.” He comes, “Give me more, give me more, manna every day, manna every day.” He’s got to go in the Rapture. Because there’s only one place where God has to do to take His Word back.

When He takes His Word back He’s got to take you with It. Because He’s got all to know, we’re going back shortly. Okay.

Matthew 24: oh, hopefully I’ve got this right. Let me see. Yeah, same thing, 37-51,

Now He’s revealed over there in Luke, now He’s present here, so the same One that is present is being revealed. You know what, you don’t understand.

How can people turn this understanding down that we preach here and say they love the Lord? There’s something wrong somewhere. I can’t say, I love my wife and then can’t stand her around me.

That’s where absence would make the heart grow fonder. Ha. For somebody else. I’m not kooked up. No way, brother. It says, “Son of man be revealed. Son of man present.”

Now it says, “Look, as it was in the flood, carried away, didn’t know it.” That’s the way the Presence is going to be. All right.

Now it’s at the Presence the Resurrection takes place. They get caught up ahead of us. We get changed right after they get their body out of the dust.

What’s doing it? Presence, shout, voice, trumpet. Now you tell me how 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 can qualify that He’s always been here and that’s Pentecost.

“Everybody talk about Branham, ain’t a Branhamite. Everybody talk about heaven, ain’t going there, because all God’s children got shoes, got shoes.” The gospel of peace on their feet. “And all God’s children got clothes, got clothes.”

The Word of God, Spirit inspired giving them the garments within that give them an office, an investiture, and the investiture is Bride.

And she doesn’t look one bit different from the other… the other virgins that go to the great tribulation. That’s why it’s not character, fruit, obedience, power, nearer to God. It’s, Spirit filled Word.

And the foolish virgin from Luther’s age said, “Hey, we want to take this same Word you’ve got and fill it with the Holy Ghost.” It won’t work. They went to buy and they couldn’t get it.

And the Methodist said, “We’re going to take our word,” it won’t work. It’s the original revealed Word, not of a creed and a dogma that’s full of the Holy Ghost.

And it’s only the Bride that’s got it. Is it coming together like it’s never came together before? You see, I’m not a prophet. I’ve got to keep hitting and hitting until I hit it. I just hit the definitive today on that.

I might as well tell you so don’t you feel bad if you didn’t get it; I’m just getting it myself, getting the perfect picture because I’ve watched it for some time now and now I see it.

You can’t fill a creed and a dogma with the Holy Ghost. You can quit now; we’re not. Where am I at? Oh yeah.

Until the flood came, two in a field, one taken, one left. Two this and this. That is not the Rapture. That is the separating.

“Whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly purge his floor, gather the wheat in the garner.” Luke 17: was the gathering. This is the separating. Presence is doing it. How do we know? False anointed.

One day Jesus turned and he said, “If I had not done the works no other man did they had not sinned, but now they’ve both seen and hated both me and my Father.”

And Jesus said, “For what good work do you stone me?”

They said, “Ah, we don’t stone you for any good works. You blaspheme making yourself the Son of God.” Get the point.

You blaspheme because they say he is here. Then who’s doing the works if He’s not here? William Branham?  Pentecostals? False anointed? Come on.

You see sometimes why I get edgy around here. I’m not edgy today. I’m very relaxed, and very nice. I’m just sweet you know, as a persimmon that hasn’t got to the sun yet. It’s coming one of these days.

You can understand why I flare the odd time. Just bear with me. I’ve got reason. Because we’re not playing patty cake anymore.

And I want everyone in here for God’s sake open your mind, open your minds. I said, open your minds. Then shut them. There’s plenty of nonsense out there in the world; creeds and dogmas.

Run here, run there, and everything else. Stay right with this. If you don’t believe it’s the truth, why, my heavens, well, I’m happy to say, “Well, if it’s not the truth, I don’t want to hold anybody.”

But I’m going to tell you something, I’d have to be insane to preach anything different from what I preached today. There’s no way that this message will come out except that He is here, my brother, my sister. And I am going with Him.

Let me tell you something, the Pillar of Fire came down for Elijah. He’s here for us. He never sent somebody for us. I’m going to tell you if I was a sweet little bride and the bridegroom says, “I am going to send somebody for you.” I would smell seduction or rape. Yuck.

I would say, “Honey, if I’m worth marrying; I’m worth coming for.” Yeah. Yeah. He’s here. Yeah, I should not be sitting down. I could do a little dance and then screaming; but instead I’m sitting down. Oh yes.

He said here,

Meat in due season. Moses was faithful in his house. Christ the Son of the house. Giving us the meat in due season. Verily, I say, he’s going to be ruler. And He is our ruler.

Now what if the evil servant comes by? What is an evil servant? That evil servant is there in denominations, the whole bit, and he turns the capstone aside. What’s he going to do? He’s going to start beating those down that do belong to Christ.

The Lord’s going to come back in that day and throw him in the tribulation, miss the Rapture.

A certain preacher one day, he thought he was a wonderful preacher and he was going to give meat in due season. “How to you like some of Lee Vayle’s baloney in due season.” Baloney is rotten meat spiced up, so you don’t recognize.

You know I went to a restaurant one time in Pennsylvania, not Ohio, Pennsylvania. Actually, I think it was Harrisburg. We went into this fellow’s restaurant and he gave me a steak that smelled.

Now I know good meat from bad meat, same as you do. I said, “Take it back.” He gave me another smell, too. That’s the only kind of meat he had to serve to. He loaded all kinds of garlic on it. It’s still stink meat.

Now I try to give you something, you’re going to get stink meat. Come on. Why? Because I stink: I don’t have to tell you. But if He gives It to you and He did, you’ve got the meat in due season.

Brother Branham spoke on meat in due season. One of the nicest little sermons he ever preached on by the way. Okay.

They went in the Great Tribulation.

Five saw it; now you know it’s not really equal. It’s just a picture. Five thought they could take their creeds and dogmas. It will blow them higher than a kite because you can’t put new wine in old bottles, and you can’t put a new patch on an old garment.

You know, when I was a kid we had a football, not like they’ve got them now. They had crazy rubber bladders inside and you had to blow them and tie them and all that, but invariably they got punctured.

I like the new ones where you just…it’s all one thing and you put a needle in and blow them up and then you put a patch on it or you throw them away.

Well, I got those old footballs had more patches inside than some of the tires on cars, you know. You know really, you’re just looking for a blow-out eventually. Get rid of it. If you’ve got to patch something, get something new. His manna is fresh every day. Okay.

These virgins they tried to put the oil into the old word and it wouldn’t work because the Word was gone. The oil only comes to the Word of the hour which is the former rain during the latter rain which is going on now.

Now, at that time there’s no way they’re going to get oil. Now the oil is there but it’s only for those that take the Word.

Now what happens? When the Bride is in they come and they say, “Open to us the door,” and He said, “I used to know you as my wife but I don’t know you as my wife anymore.”

That’s right, the Lutherans were the Bride at one time, the Wesleyans were the Bride, the Pentecostals were the Bride; now we’re the Bride and we’re going in because he’s talking of those standing plus those that come up.

Now the foolish virgins are left behind. I don’t believe they’re out there in some never-never land suffering. I believe they’re in a nice place. Now it’s time to make it.

I’m sorry you haven’t got the Holy Ghost. You’re good people, you stay here until the white throne judgment. You’ll come in then.

Now what I’m trying to say is this, the shout is not just prophetic it is judging so the One who brings the Word is axiomatically setting Himself as judge. Do you follow what I’m saying? It’s a transition period.

Now, Brother Dave mentioned something the other day that…now I’m not too smart but I’ll try to do my best with it. I think maybe I can tell enough without having him tell you. All right.

You get water or air or different things passing, let’s start with water. The waters going along smooth, it hits a place which is going to give increased turbulence, so over here was rapids and things, there’s a lot of turbulence.

Now it is fairly easy in comparison to trace and to formulate what is going on here at both ends but you can’t do it with the precision in the middle.

Now that’s what I’m looking at when it comes to prophet, judge, king. The prophet is the transition. That with…the judge, I mean, is in transition.

So that you can define the prophets easy, you can define the king easily but it’s in between that one…now watch, what’s in between though it ends over here at the end, more easily defined, both the ends come from an influence, the end comes from an influence, which started with the prophet.

So, we see that the judge part though not muddy, I’m trying to show you it’s already started here. Do you follow me? But the judgments are not yet manifest; they’re seething, they’re working.

When they really break, the Bride is scot free but she’s judged nonetheless. But she’s not judged to condemnation. Why? Because God spiritually revealed Word is in Itself the criterion. Then if you’ve missed the criterion, if the product is available it’s yours.

I go downtown, I say I got a thousand dollars to buy this stereo. That’s maybe even cheap, some ways they charge nowadays. Well, all right. If there’s no stereo available—phttt!—what’s a thousand bucks?

Now, if God’s revealed Word in Its foreknowledge anticipating of predestination and I’ve got the revealed foreknowledge and the predestination is available; I’ve got it. Do you see where judgment is? Transition. …?… You as it were by that.

Well now, now we see the elements of the judge in the prophet and those elements coming into greater magnitude continuously we realize the Son of man had to appear now in order to establish himself as judge.

We saw this in Luke 17:22-30 because it is Acts 3:19, the Son of man revealed. The Son of man present. See?

Actually, that comes to our day of Acts 3: where the great revival takes place, the great restoration of the Word, prophet, then comes Him whom the earth cannot receive until a certain time.

And when it does receive Him it is judge king judging and setting up kingship. See? Okay. I won’t read that.

Now it is also,

Well, they sure did in Jesus’ day when He was incarnated, the One that did all this, that anointing, that Logos. Sure, He raised His voice. I read here about Oswald Smith said, not Oswald Smith. Oswald Chambers said about it about Him.

Where in the world is that? Some of you folk weren’t here. Did I read that on a Wednesday night? Man alive, I hope I got that in my Bible here somewhere because I want to read it to you folk that weren’t here on Wednesday.

Here it is here and read about this, Oswald Chambers said, “For thirty years Jesus did nothing, then for three years he stormed every time he went down to Jerusalem.” Josephus said, “He tore through the temple course like a mad man.”

We hear nothing about that Jesus Christ today. The meek and mild being pictured today make us lose altogether the meaning of the cross.

We have to find out why Jesus was beside himself with rage and indignation at the Pharisees and not with those given over to carnal sins. Which state of society is going to stand a ripping and a tearing being like Jesus Christ who dragged through the ground the highest respected pillars of a civilized society and shows that their respectability is built on a much more abominable pride than that of the harlots or the publicans that are known prostitutes and thieves, connivers and swindlers?

So, have a field day, you connivers and swindlers. God loves you more than these whited sepulchres.

You’ve got a chance and they don’t. The latter are disgusting; prostitutes and publicans. But these men have the very pride of the devil in their hearts.

The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else. You know that’s the truth, brother, that’s the truth.

You know, this is so much better than these guys that’s saying, “Well,” (how did he put it now) He is Lord of all or nothing at all.” Now you see that sounds great.  To me in the light of this statement that’s hogwash.

That’s your pretty little guys going around trying in get oil in their creeds and dogmas. Your little publicans and sinners that everything in nice-nice control, ha? I hope you’re thinking the same rotten thoughts I’m thinking. Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee. They’re not rotten thoughts.

Look, we’ve come too far down the road not to call a spade a spade and a hamburger a hamburger. Don’t try to tell I’m eating strip sirloin and you give me some piece of old chuck that you threw some garlic on. I’m not that badly fooled. Don’t give me a hunk of crow when I like turkey.

The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God you fear nothing else, whereas you do not fear God you fear everything else.

If we put our trust in men we should go under because men are just like ourselves and none of us in our wits before God would ever think of trusting ourselves. Now isn’t that beautiful. Lovely.

If we do it is a sign that we are ignorant of ourselves. The old Oswald Chambers, mmm, I could kiss that, beautiful, beautiful, my kind of a preacher. I’ve got to get ahold of his book. The trouble is the rest of it won’t be half that good. Yeah.

To Israel it was a man; to us it is a name: Jesus, Jehovah Saviour. I’m going to tell you something, He is just as much here now as He was when He walked in flesh, just as much here on this earth. Here on this earth, yeah. All right.

Make every tree good and his fruit good; oh, turn the other cheek. We’re supposed to. Never retaliate. That’s right. Always do this. Always do that. That’s not what the Bible says.

The Bible says, “O generation of vipers, how can you being evil, speak good things?”

Ha! I can get you a Mohammedan who’ll jump up and down on the cross of Jesus Christ and defecate on it.

Make the presence of God filth and with charming dulcet tones and lovely voice may speak to you of the lovely nice things of life, wherein there is nothing but beauty and rest and peace, and speak good things.

Do you follow me? Let’s smarten up. It’s too late in the day.

What’s in your heart? The revelation? The true Word of God? God’s looking for people to talk it, you know, in Malachi 3:16.

Now the foolish virgin tried to get God to anoint the creeds and dogmas to bring forth life. What are you doing? Do you see why I’m such a stickler with the prophet?

I’m not trying to boast about Lee Vayle, but I’m just telling, explaining why that I stick with this Word the way I do a hundred percent with the prophet because there’s no other way to go.

If we haven’t been put into the tube with a straightjacket, let’s start praying for it today because it’s about time we had one.

Let me tell you, old Lee Vayle is not your God, let’s get that flat. Neither is William Branham. There is a God, He’s got a Son named Jesus Christ.

There’s a whole lot at stake and what’s at stake is that Word wherein you will never separate Word from Spirit of Life ever again because there is no turning back because this Word is the one with life and we get changed in our flesh to match it and get caught away, there is no history of cosmos. Okay.

This we see as judge right now. Why? Because the prophet’s here. It’s as simple as a-b-c.

The boss sends you a telegram, and in the telegram it says, “I want you to take a couple… so many books of this and so many books of this type of book, and so many of this type of book and so many of that type of book and put them in a box.” All right.

You decide you’ve got your own way. You say, “I think the boss made a mistake. I’ll get so many books of this kind of books, so many books…” and you go to the boss and you get fired. You say, “I don’t think that’s fair.”

Well, it is fair because the boss is the judge of what is fair; he’s guy that ordered it. He the guy that knows what is wanted. He’s the guy knows the thing that’s being abased. He knows everything.

And remember, it’s the obedience of faith. They died because of unbelief, not what they did.

That’s why Oswald Chambers is so right, the carnality of what we call the physical despicable which is only judged in high society under the covers that common man does it out in the open while the high society speaks beautiful soft words and all and then negates the very things of Almighty God.

Don’t let them fool you, brother/sister. Don’t let them fool you. Brother Branham wasn’t ranting and raving. All right.

What we are looking at is the Omega, the day of John 5:22-27, 30-36. And I’m going to have to likely cut this off and let you go home because I can see there’s no use keeping you here until two o’clock in the morning or at least even until five o’clock tonight. I don’t think anyway. It wouldn’t bother me too much, and if I think it bothers you that would make me very happy. Just kidding you. All right.

In other words, the Father never ever says anything arbitrarily like we say to our kids, “You should have had enough brains,” or to our wife especially. “What’s the matter with you anyway?”

God doesn’t do that. He explains everything by the Son of man. He brings the prophet on the scene, and that automatically becomes the fulcrum to the weighing out.

You cannot have jurisdiction outside of a law, neither can you have meritorious fulfillment of promise outside of a word. For grace, grace marvelous grace fulfilment of a promise outside of a word. See what I’m talking about? Okay.

Here we are. 22, I read. 27

See? The Son is Judge because He is the Son of man. He cannot do other than what the Word of God says. Now God says, “Justify that murderer.” The Son sits back and he said, “Well, I don’t think I should. Now Father, let’s You and I argue the case.” How can he?

Well, the church says, “Well, I tell you what we’ll do, we’ll just sprinkle this one with a bit of holy water and she’s a virgin again.” Wonderful. Wonder if he is stupid?

You know, Jesus stood back one time and he wondered at the people. When you get into this message you’ll stand back and wonder, too. Not that we’re Jesus but it’s sure nice to be on his side. You say, how do people…how can people be that way?

Look, let’s face it, foreknowledge goes to predestination. Foreknowledge is Word, predestination is nothing but the manifestation of the foreknowledge.

Where do you fit? No round pegs in square holes or vice versa. No sheep in the goat pen. He became a goat for us once, a scapegoat, never again.

Now you’ve got to face up to it. When he died, and shed his blood that was scapegoat, but standing here is not scapegoat because, His standing here proves He died and rose and His Word He stands behind it.

Oh yeah, so he says, “Look, hey, Vayle, I’m going to tell you something, you’ve been as cruddy as they come which I grant you that was your privilege because I let you go ahead, I’ve got news for you in spite of yourself I’m going to get you there.” You say, “Hey, am I going to argue it? I argued it once.

He said, “You’re clean.” I said, “Lord, It’s nice of You but I know better.” Today I know better, I’m clean. You say, “How?” because He said so.

So, what’s that got to do with it? Everything! If my words are His words how are we going to tip the scales out of cater. How’s the Holy Ghost going to deny it? See? Okay, we’re getting some understanding. All right.

Now,

Okay, let’s take a look at John 14: for a second and 10,

Now listen! What’s the works at the end time? To get us back, to perform a resurrection. Now you’ve got to believe in that or you’re not going to be a part of it. See?

Brother Branham said, “There’s lots of things,” —not lots—he said, “there were some things that Jesus could not do while he was here on earth; they were reserved to the end time.” Okay.

This… this has to be a part of Luke 4:16. What is Luke 4:16? Well, he declared himself to be the prophet, the one by Isaiah, anointed to proclaim the gospel, frees some of the captives, recovering the sight of the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Now that’s part of it. When did he say that? As prophet. When were the grounds fulfilled to fulfill it? At the cross and Resurrection, now He’s coming back, to finish it off. He’s doing it.

Now note carefully, this was exactly…what was said here was exactly before the first part of the Resurrection.

“He that heareth my voice though he were dead yet shall he live.” Matthew 27:, he screamed with a loud voice and it literally woke up the dead to what was going on, that voice thundered heaven and earth and hell, and he went down and his soul joined his… his spirit joined his soul, he preached to the… the… those in prison and he went to upper Sheoh tore the gates off, and led them out, and went back in his own body which God raised, and God raised the dead.

Now those words proceeded it. He was there present and did it. His words today precedes, the second part of the second Resurrection, and He is here to perform it.

Now half past three, see, I’m taking a lot of Scripture because the thing is I’m dealing a lot in the gospels because as the Son of man you’ve got to hit the gospels. There’s no way out. There’s fantastic material there.

Now it is Matthew 12:, as we read 12:38-42. Now watch! After all that we’ve read here.

Now listen! Remember, they repented. They changed their minds. The queen of the south changed her mind. Repentance is the order of the day and the mind is the last part that doesn’t move. Below it’s the eyes, and that’s the eagle.

The eagle is in vogue at this time, he’s the last of the beasts, coming as a great prophet. See? Setting the church in order, setting the Word in order.

Now let’s go to it, 46 and 50.

You say that’s legalism. It’s not. “For to believe on him that was sent is to do the will of God.” See, not trying to get around the question.

So, let’s understand here what took place before the first Resurrection and Rapture which took place is now a repeat performance before the second part of the first Resurrection. See?

And there will be a further repeat. What’s going to repeat? Prophet setting the tenor, Resurrection, Rapture. What of our day? Prophet, Resurrection, Rapture, setting the tenor. All right.

Further, Revelation 11:1-2. I’m not going to read it. That’s the two witnesses. Then in Revelation 11:12, the 11th chapter comes the Resurrection. Then they’re caught up, so therefore, to Israel there’s a prophet, Son of man. Then there is the Resurrection, then there is the Rapture.

Now I’m going to go to Revelation 14: however, because I haven’t read that before, and we’re familiar with the witnesses, we can bypass, okay.

They’re not Bride. They’re the hundred and forty-four thousand. They’re a part of the first Resurrection. Why? Because the prophet came to them and assured them a part in the first Resurrection through the Blood and the Holy Spirit, the revealed Word. “Whose are those wounds? Here they are in Scripture. What it is all about? They believe it. Now here they are as part of the first Resurrection.

Now you tell me that any word in anybody’s mouth is without guile unless it’s the Word of God that’s in the person’s mouth. There again you see the Scripture holds true all the way through. The order is always perfect. Sending a prophet. See? Bringing out the dead. Bringing a Resurrection, a Rapture. Same thing today. Son of man, He’s Judge in the earth, separating the believer from the unbeliever based upon the Word of Almighty God. Foreknowledge and predestination coming together.

Now the dead come out of the ground, we get changed and are caught up. The two witnesses come, the Word of God, bringing the Word of God. Judgment sets in all the more. They kill the two witnesses. They arise into a Rapture, with them will be a hundred and forty-four thousand. I don’t say they’re raptured at that point but they’re a part of the first Resurrection. See, the order never changes. Look back in the days of Noah, a prophet, the flood come, afterward a Resurrection. They get the earth back again. See, you can’t change the order. And you can’t have a prophet without judgment setting in but not to the Bride. So, I hope we see it.

When Christ started back from… death… when the church started back from death in the Dark Ages, it began to come more and more into the original power of the spiritual Word: justification, sanctification, baptism, gifts of the spirit, then perfection came, here we are. So, Jesus went from flesh to prophet, to Lamb, to priest, is now going to judge and king because it is the same One manifesting Himself and becoming more and more Himself until it is all God as it says in 1 Corinthians 15:22-28, then cometh the end. See, comes the Resurrection, Christ the firstfruits, then they at His Presence, then they’ll all be handed back to God and God becomes all in all. All right.

Now look I’m going to tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going to stop here. What I’m telling you I’m going to do, is I’m going to take this Wednesday instead of the sermon I got typed up all ready, or written up. I’m going to take you to Genesis 18: and draw a two-fold type from what we’ve been teaching which is prophet, transition judge, king. See? Showing you why the prophet, where the Bride is with the judge, where the world is with the judge and how it goes on to a consummation so that you’ve got no doubts as to where you stand.

See look, in a court you’re justified by your words. Now not in this rotten lousy court you’ve got. You could tell the truth and they’ll just blow you down the drain because they’re all illegitimate. But if this nation was godly like it once was and had decent courts which they don’t have, because that’s the one thing the government should do is maintain the courts and they don’t. They’ve got such a hodge-podge mixture, it’s the same as the church, that’s why America will produce the… the beast religion. There’s no two ways, she’s got to. We’re messed up worse I say than Hogan’s goat, it’s a terrible thing.

But if there was such a thing as an honest to goodness judge and an honest to goodness court, it would simply be word, that’s it. Non-word, that’s it. Now by your words you’re justified, and by your words you’re condemned. And we showed you unqualifiedly the prophet has to be here, then that Word by which you’re justified or condemned and that’s where He says, looks down, “And they that feared the Lord and thought often upon His Name, spake often one to another, and the Lord harkened unto them and a book of remembrance then was made up concerning them that spoke in such a way, as feared the Lord and thought upon His Name,” and He said, “Ah, ha,”

He said, “They are my Bride. The jewels in my crown, the stars.” So, what were they doing? They were talking. What were they talking? The Word of God. Justified means declared righteous. Justified means you didn’t do it. See? Because it’s not imputed. Blessed is the man to whom it is not imputed. All right. That’s as far as we’re going to go. I’m sorry.  It would…it would take me another three quarter hour, I’m pretty sure, maybe not, but it would take me I think a little bit too long to get the rest of the pages in here.

I don’t know how I’m going to backtrack Wednesday I’ll be honest with you. We’re going to make it just two tapes in a row, if you miss Wednesday you get the tape and I’ll take you exactly from where we stop off. So, when you hear it together I think it will make sense. Okay.

Shall we rise at this time.

Gracious heavenly Father, we certainly praise Thee and thank Thee, Lord, for the opportunity we had of coming together to think upon Thy Name and to fear Thee, Lord, and which we do with a reverential awe.

We do not fear Thee, Lord, in that capacity where men might fear, as of this hour we’re approaching unto Thee, for You, Lord, approached unto us.

You, Lord, as did the… as the king Ahasuerus when Esther was there extended the scepter and so Lord, You extended your Word whereby You reign and rule, a righteous scepter, a righteous rod of government, not breaking in shivers but extending in favor toward us, and in there Lord, we see life and liberty.

We see in there everything that we’ve yearn and long for and we’re coming into it, more and more into the real which we were from the beginning, Lord, knowing that as there was a potential in our father and mother to give us trillions and trillions more things that we’ve got now within our own nature, within our own inner environment, and here we are with what would be a miserable pittance and You, Lord, have given us the opportunity to have a fullness which starting… has already started and will take us into the place where these bodies will no longer form a contradiction but the contradiction being out of the way, the glories which shall be revealed.

Just trillions and trillions and trillions of times more than we would ever, ever dream. Our minds, Lord, are boggled at the…at the…at the numeric’s involved but our hearts are open with joy to the revelation.

And if it’s going to come, Lord, by a loaf, if it’s going to come by crumb, we don’t know how You’re going to do It, but we just have a feeling, Lord, it’s going to be by that life, that river of water on which the Tree of Life has roots on both sides, the leaves of the healing, Lord, everything just coming out of the river, I believe Lord, which could symbolize Your great Holy Spirit life, and coming out of that, oh my, oh my, if a man could measure the drops of water in the ocean then he might measure the amazing grace and revelation of our God.

Lord, we’re looking to that end and we just thank You for what You’ve given us to know Lord, that we can…that we can just rest in it because we believe we can. We believe, Lord, that that this is exactly right.

Now, Father God, we would hopefully because we know we can do more than we’ve ever done before by way of dedication and consecration to just stand here and say Lord, be it unto us according to Thy Word and then set our hearts and our mouths to… to begin to speak concerning those things which have come upon our minds and got deep down within us so that the well springs begin to come forth, Lord, and thereby as it were watering that which lies within us, and lying in the Presence of the Son.

Absolutely come to that place, Lord, where You want us to be, mature in Thee.

And so, we thank You for this wonderful time we’ve had this afternoon with You, the wonderful goodness, Lord, that You’ve manifested towards us, grace, mercy and wonderment, we do thank You for it, Lord.

And we’re just anxious, Lord, for that sweet Spirit to come into the church real soon so there won’t be a feeble one among us, a witness unto the Resurrection. Just prefacing the return of those who will pick up their bodies and stand amongst us.

And Lord, then we know the dreams we’ve had and the things, Lord, that have been sweet to us in our thoughts, in our minds, they’re just going to take on a reality, they’re actually going to be here, Lord. The saints are actually going to stand upon the earth. Absolutely going to stand here. Paul will be here.

And, Lord, if we believe it will be our pleasure to actually see him. The messenger of this hour which we believe was truly Your prophet, William Branham, coming here and once more we can embrace, actually embrace in the flesh, shake hands, stand here and even eat, glorified bodies getting ready for the Resurrection.

Knowing, Lord, that above all we know this one thing we don’t know even a pittance of what we’re going to know of the grace and the wonder of Almighty God.

So, we thank You, Lord, in anticipation and by faith and grace, Lord, we count ourselves a part. And unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God be all power and honor and glory through Jesus Christ our Savior, Amen.

Well, do you love Him this afternoon? Well, I tell you I think it’s just great to love the Lord. I tell you, you look at Scripture, and I tell you, God’s Word tells you you’re supposed to love Him and you just give Him a chance to show you His love, you can’t help but love Him. Never have I known His grace and His mercy and His love as I know it today. I don’t know that I… I hope in my heart I can say I can love Him, I can say I love Him as I have never loved Him before because there’s a maturity there and there’s something there that’s apart from, you know like little kids love, they love because oh, you know they feel good and somebody does something nice for them. Well, that’s wonderful, but this love today is beyond that. It’s something because of revelation.

All right.  Let’s sing, “Oh, how I love Jesus.”

It’s a wonderful spirit this afternoon, you could just feel even before I come up here preaching to muddy the waters which I hope I didn’t, but isn’t been a good spirit, a lovely spirit. And you know I believe it’s going to continue now, and we all just got to grow more and more together, and you know, I tell you what, you know, even birds have a good quality they stick. So look, if we’re just a bit you know, burry, let’s make it pay, let’s stick. You know, see, you get used to me being me, and as mean as I am you can learn to like it after a while and when like the chiropractor adjusts you can’t get away without that crunch. I can but… So even birds stick together.

So, love you all, love each other, be kind one to another, pray often one for another and come back expecting the grace and goodness of God, and above all, look up because your redemption has not drawn nigh, He’s here. He’s not coming any longer. He’s already here. And in Him are all these wonderful things. And isn’t it marvelous that the best of all we’re in Him. So, we’ll go singing, “Take the Name of Jesus with you,” and believe with all your heart because that’s exactly right, we have inherited His Name which is above every name because we belong to Him. All right.
