Anointed Ones and a Root of Every Evil

Bro. Lee Vayle      

November 6, 1993  

  		Shall we pray: Heavenly Father, we love this chorus especially
knowing that You are here when You are incarnated in that Son, even the
Lord Jesus Christ who became the tabernacle for You and You stood there
before Mary and Martha. They said, “Well, it’s too late that You
came, but even though time has run out for Lazarus, it’s not run out
for us, we believe even now You can raise him from the dead.” And we
know, Lord, that Bro. Branham said, “Time has run out and it’s too
late for the world.” He said, “The seed, perhaps, was already run
out.” America was already seined out; there were no more fishes to be
caught. We don’t know that Lord, how it is, but You do know that,
“When the last one’s in and child-trained,” as both Irenaeus and
Bro. Branham said, “Then we know that there has to be that coming.”
And we are glad that You are here even though it’s too late for the
world; time has run out, it’s just exactly right for us. 

		May we see that, may we cleave to every single Word and instruction in
Your Book Lord, and our minds brought into certain subjection and our
bodies to perform even as Paul said concerning the little simple thing
of giving. He said, now that you see what you’re to do and you’ve
made up your minds to do it, you at least dedicated yourself to do and
now let there be a performance, even Lord as You performed Your Word as
You said in Your own Word, “I hasten to perform My Word, I stand over
It to make sure It is done.’”May we also be in that position through
the grace given unto us by the power of the Holy Spirit to also perform
that which we have seen in Your Word and we are actually dedicated to It
Lord. May it bring forth people to Thy honor and glory in Jesus’ Name,
we pray, Amen. You may be seated. 

1.		Now I was going to start tonight on the Restoration of the Bride
Tree because I think it runs very well with what we’ve been taking in
the trilogy of the Spoken Word is Original Seed, but I want to talk
about two little subjects and it may take all of our time which will be
fine. We won’t take so much time then for the service; we’ll be
through that much quicker. 

2.		Now number one; I want to talk about ‘Anointed Ones’ and we’ll
look at that from the Scripture and perhaps you’ll recall in message
number 7 of the End Time Seed Sign, that’s the last message on that
series, I marginally referred to Ps 105:15 being linked with the
anointed ones of the end time; thus suggesting the reason as to why Bro.
Branham never did and consequently we never should touch any anointed
person whether true or false as to his actual calling or position before
God. You know I told you I had mulled over that for the last week or so
and I was looking at the fact of there definitely is an anointing of God
that we might not be too appreciative of or desire to look at in the
light of the Scripture, if the Scripture does give that particular
light. 

3.		So, I was looking at Ps 105:15 being linked with the anointed ones
at the end time; and from it I derived, looking at Bro. Branham’s own
life and ministry, that he never did nor should we, actually touch any
of those that are anointed no matter who they are. And I referred to
Bro. Branham praying for Dr. Davis that no harm should befall him for
the very unkind if not wicked position he took against Bro. Branham, the
true prophet and servant of God and of course, there are many other
illustrations I could give, some of which I would have to sort of dig
down within my mind to bring forth, but I could never understand myself
why Bro. Branham treated so splendiferously those people who actually
were detrimental to his ministry and though very complimentary to his
ministry as a great prophet who could tell you things and perform
things, yet behind his back and some to his face derided him and
positively denied that he was of the truth. They had no trouble touching
him, preventing him or attempting to destroy him. 

4.		But only on the very rarest occasions where God showed Bro. Branham
certain things he had to mention such as the two brethren down in
Middletown who told the people Bro. Branham was a prophet under
discernment, but he was certainly way off the Word, which is the most
ridiculous statement in all the world, if you think a man’s a prophet,
he’s going to be off the Word; who then in the world is on the Word?
So if you exceed to a person being a prophet, he has to be on the Word,
and then if he’s off the Word and you exceed to him being a prophet
and yet be a false prophet; where does it leave you with your
commendations and your reliance upon a gift? You see, you’d be
certainly in a very, very bad place. 

5.		But you know as Bro. Branham was very gentle concerning those people
except in the very rare occasions, again when up in Topeka, Kansas, when
we were there, when he talked to a certain man in the audience, a
brother, and told him that he was sick, what his problems were and he
said, “You’re healed and,” he said, “furthermore,” he said,
“you’ve been backslidden; and your sins are forgiven.” Right away
the people rose up in their minds against him and he said,  “I just
caught that.” He said, “You are against me for saying that I told
the man his sins are forgiven, but the same One that told me what’s
wrong with him, that he is healed, is the same One that told me his sins
are forgiven.” 

6.		Now, Ps 105:15 it distinctly says “Touch not my anointed.” And
in Acts the 2nd chapter, we find Peter foretelling the end time in which
Bro. Branham lived and we are now living that God would pour His Spirit
upon all flesh and thus would anoint both God’s seed and even serpent
seed with a genuine anointing unto gifts and fruitage, but not the Word,
such as which was in the case of Judas. 

		 Now, we’ve been over this many times but at the day of Pentecost,
they said, “What is this anyway? Are these people drunken? Is this
some type of misconduct in this hour?” But you notice that Peter spoke
in verse 16, [Acts 2:]

(16)	But this is that spoken by the prophet Joel;

(17)	…it shall come to pass in the last days, (That’s the last two
days,   of course, that are left.) (said) God, I will pour my Spirit
upon all flesh: 

		And of course, at the end of the second day, there will be this
brought into complete fruitage and you will see…what was sown, this is
the principle again of Alpha and Omega. 

7.		What was sown back there in the day of Pentecost wherein the Holy
Spirit was heralded with the great manifestation of gifts, etc, etc, but
especially gifts? He is telling them in the last days, and particularly
at the end time, the seed sown comes into full manifestation, God’s
going to pour His Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters
prophesy, your young men see visions, your old men dream dreams and on
My servants and My handmaidens I’ll pour out My spirit in those days
as they prophesy.” Notice, he said, “I’ll show wonders in the
heavens above, signs in the earth beneath, blood and fire, vapors and
smoke.” That did not take place at the end of the first day, at the
beginning of the second day or the middle of the second day but it can
only take place at the end of the second day, you see, before we come to
the Millennium, that would give…two thousand, two thousand, two
thousand years. Six in all. 

(19)	And I will shew wonders in heaven above, signs in the earth
beneath; blood, fire, and smoke:

(20)	(And) the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord.

8.		So there is an absolute prophesy concerning an anointing at the end
time where the Spirit of God says, “Upon your daughters, upon your
sons, upon your young men, and upon your old men and it also says, upon
Mine.” So there is a distinction there and yet, although the
distinction is there and the division is there, it actually tells you
then there’s two kinds of people at the end time that you’re
watching. And there are those two kinds of people have an identical
anointing to the gifts of the Spirit, but they do not have the anointing
to the Word, which we know to be absolutely correct. 

		So, we have Peter here foretelling the end time in which Bro. Branham
lived and we are now living just before the Great Tribulation that God
would pour His Spirit upon all flesh and thusly anoint God’s seed and
even serpent seed with genuine gifts of the Holy Spirit, just like Judas
and yet they are of the devil even as it says in the book of Matthew,
the 7th chapter. “Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep
clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” 

		Now it tells you right there they have absolutely every single
manifestation that you would want to see manifested in a Christian. Now
you may do what you want about this and you may be like a bunch of
Baptists and Presbyterians and you’re going to try to get around this;
you can’t get around it. So you better find what I have found out
listening to Bro. Branham, you better face it, because you’re facing
it anyway. And I think it’s better to get shot in the face with a
forty-four than to turn your back and get your brains blown out from
behind, because I’m trying to tell you coming or going you’re going
to be judged by God. You cannot escape what we’re looking at. 

9.		[Matthew 7:]

(15)	Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves. 

(16)	(You) shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?

		Now remember years back Bro. Branham taught this like everybody else
being fruit. But after he had taught for some time, I knew there was no
way that this could be fruit, this had to go to the Word. That’s when
he preached, The Anointed Ones at the End Time. And he said, “This has
to do with the Word.” and you can see that it does.

10.		[Matthew 7:]

(17)	(For) even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; 

		Now remember, there were two trees in the Garden. And these trees that
you’re talking about here are representative of people or modes of
spirituality. And when you’re representing modes of spirituality and
you’re talking about people, you’re going to go two directions:
towards God or towards Satan. You can’t go otherwise. 

		There’s no white black birds: there’s no drunk sober people.
There’s no goats that turn into sheep because the point is they
weren’t quite goats. I’m going to tell you; you can bathe a goat,
you can perfume the goat: he’s still a goat. You can take the pig, you
can wash the pig, you can perfume the pig, you can teach it tricks:
it’s still a pig. And you better believe a dog’s a dog. All right.

(17)	Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

		Now there’s two trees you’re looking at because you’re looking
at two kinds of people; a false and a true. So you’re looking at the
tree of knowledge of good and evil and the Tree of Life. Now, let’s
look at it. 

(17)	Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

(18)	A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit. (Now that’s manifested in Cain and Abel;
the twins. You cannot change it.) 

11.		Now,

(19)	Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.

		Now we know that to be true. John the Baptist talked about it,
there’s no problem with that. Also when you talk about fire, you have
to know positively that at the end time and the fire will consume every
single thing that is not of God, even to the extent, as Bro. Branham
said, “The flames will reach a thousand miles in the air and burn
every germ.” 

(20)	(Now) wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

		Now he’s talking about trees. Now what were the two trees? The Tree
of Life and we have the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 

12.		Now he says here,

(16)	Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

		What tree brought forth the thorns and thistles? The tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, and that was the disputatious tree that
disputed against THUS SAITH THE LORD that went to reasoning and humanism
instead of going to faith and the unreasoning and unreasonable Word of
Almighty God because God doesn’t reason. He doesn’t have to. Why
would an omniscient, omnipotent person reason? That’s nuts. Could you
for one minute believe in a God that is omniscient and omnipotent and
reason? Why He challenged them to reason and bring their strong
arguments; He laughed in their faces. But the Lord had them in derision,
and laughed at their calamity. 

		So you’re looking at…your two trees here. And one tree spoke for
Life which stayed with the Word and one tree spoke for death and briars
and thorns which disputed the Word and went to reasoning and so on. So
you’re talking about Word. 

13.		Now watch!

(21)	Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven.

(22)	Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? in thy name cast our devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?

(23)	…then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,
(you) that work iniquity.

		Now what is the first working of iniquity? You go back to Cain whose
unrighteous work was the will worship of God apart from the Word
belonging to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and it can only
bring forth death. That’s all it can bring forth. The other can only
bring forth Life. 

14.		Now, notice, in Matthew 24 because that’s where you want to go
right now. And in Matthew 24 it tells you the very same thing at the end
time, at the time when they came to Jesus.

(3)	…when shall these things be? 

	All right. Now he says in verse 23.

(23)	Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there;
believe it not.

(24)	For there shall arise false Christs, (even lying) prophets, and
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.

(25)	Behold, I have told you before.

		When? Back in Matthew 7: they were warned back there, now they’re
given a double warning. Every time you hear, “Verily, verily,” or
double warning, you know you’re in for trouble if you don’t listen.
And one of the major sermons Bro. Branham preached was The Anointed Ones
at the End Time. And everybody that didn’t believe this Message got
their applecart upset and everyone that did got their applecart on the
right road down the road and  they said, “That’s It!” It explained
the great mystery of iniquity. 

15.		Now, [Matthew 24:]

(26)	Wherefore if they say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not
forth:  in the secret chambers; (don’t) believe it. (In other words,
never mind places, never mind philosophies, never mind anything.)

(27)	For as the lightning cometh out of the east, (And Bro. Branham, an
ordained prophet of God, vindicated explained that. The light rises in
the East, it comes from the East, and shines unto the West; another…it
already started in the East but when it gets to the West) so shall the
coming of the Son of man be.

		Now you’re talking about anointings, you’re talking about
prophets, you’re talking about gifts; you’re talking about Word. So
right here at the end time there’s going to be a showdown between the
two spirits; the Spirit of God and the spirit of Satan and they’re
both here, because if the Son of man is here, the son of perdition is
here. If the son of perdition is here, the Son of man is here and
they’re both showing forth ministries. Now remember, Judas was the son
of perdition, a hundred percent fully anointed. And he never ever came
to Pentecost. He never had any faith in it. He stood there when Jesus
told the fact about he said, “I’m going to send the Comforter.”
You know he didn’t go for that. “He did not come up to Pentecost,”
Bro. Branham said. 

16.		Now, in Romans 9, we have Pharaoh distinctly raised up by God to do
God’s Will. Now if you want to go to Romans 9, we’re going to see
something here but you’ve seen many, many times, there’s no problem
with that. Now he said in verse 15.

(15)	 For he (said) to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have
mercy, and compassion on whom I will have compassion.

(16)	So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but
of God that sheweth mercy.

(17)	For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose
have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my
name might be declared throughout all the earth.

		Now don’t tell me for one minute there’s any difference between
Pharaoh and these false prophets. Why? Because Bro. Branham said,
“Pastor Pharaoh.” Now the pastor is the man who teaches what the
prophet put forth to the local assembly. And Pastor Pharaoh was indeed a
great disciple of Jannes and Jambres who withstood Moses. So here
you’re looking now at the picture, you’re seeing the people who are
anointed, gifts in the church, prophesy, everything else, under the
false teaching and absolutely not of God. 

17.		Now, he says, I raised him up for this thing.

(18)	Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he
will he hardeneth. 

(19)	Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who
hath resisted his will? 

(20)	Nay but, O man, who (are you to reply) against God? Shall the thing
formed say to him that formed it, Why (have you) made me thus?

		And the same question comes out: why in the world would God do what He
did? Well, it’s none of your business. It just shows exactly what tree
you belong to and I belong to if you start reasoning this thing and say,
‘Why did He do it?’ Well, I can actually give you the answer, it’s
as simple as A-B-C, this is where God fools everybody, sending the
strong delusion. And they say, “Well, it can’t be.” But it is. You
see, they simply don’t believe God Himself; they believe what God does
but they don’t believe God. Think it over. Think it over. Creation,
gifts and everything else, but they don’t believe God, no.

(21)	Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to       
  make one vessel unto honour, and (one to) dishonour?

		Now it’s not just one lump as sure as one people are concerned,
because although that’s true, it’s actually, you find one lump where
there’s a people who are absolutely in the eye of reason respectable
judgment, you cannot tell one from the other unless you listen and you
yourself would be anointed to know what that Word really is. That’s
why the Bible said, “The foundation of God standeth sure having this
seal, the Lord knoweth them which are his.” [2 Tim 2:19] Only He knows
who’s in that Lamb’s Book of Life and “All that the Father gave
Him are going to come unto him.” 

18.		So what we’re looking at there then is in Revelation [Romans] 9:
we have Pharaoh distinctly raised up by God to do God’s Will. Now 
listen, not once did Moses raise a hand on his own or speak on his own
but only by the permission granted by God and that’s exactly what you
find here in this 9th chapter and you go back to the Book of Exodus to
the context, contest, and not once do you find Moses on his own actually
displaying any anger or anything against Pharaoh as though he was the
author and the finisher of any of it. Moses was literally a
dispassionate bystander as Bro. Branham said, “I never choose to be
this, I was merely the voice of one standing by when He did it.” And
this is what you’re looking at here in the lives of the two great
prophets: Moses and William Branham, because he placed himself with
Moses and with Paul, as you well know, it’s on a tape, the tape he
personally gave to me but it’s all around the world now and you can
find that there where Bro. Branham did that. Now he would not be
permitted to do that unless he was that very distinct person which we
certainly believe that he was, otherwise we’re going to impugn
[challenge as false] the integrity of Almighty God, which we certainly
can’t do.

19.		[Romans 9:]

(22)	(Now,) what if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his
power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted
to destruction. 

		Now where do you get that phrase ‘longsuffering’? Not Paul, Peter;
the longsuffering God at the time of Noah, the entering of the ark. So
he takes the longsuffering of the Exodus, throws it right back on the
ark and Bro. Branham takes the two of them and throws it right on to the
Millennium and the catching away in the Rapture. So the question then
arises, who is to dispute at the time of Moses and Pharaoh and the time
of William Branham who said, “I know my Judas or Judases.” And those
who were false anointed and on every hand calling God’s bluff as to
His vindicated Word, and yet there was a longsuffering. 

20.		Now listen, let’s watch this, he endured with much longsuffering
the vessels fitted to destruction. Now in the original Greek it
positively points out that these vessels fitted themselves to
destruction. But in the next verse…

(23)	…that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels
of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, (The preparation was
of God.)

21.		Now if you want to go back to the Book of Luke and I’m sure you
will, the 1st chapter, you will notice it says,

(17)	And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of (Elijah), to
turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, (even) the disobedient
to the wisdom of the just; to make ready the prepared people. 

		Now, in the fact of this end time anointing there is a training going
on and that training is directed at the Bride, the duplicity is directed
at the ones outside; the strong delusion. 

22.		Now, if you wonder what I’m talking about please turn with me to
the 2nd chapter, of 2 Thessalonians, we’ll read it. Now it says here,

(1)	Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming (the Presence) of our
Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 

		Now how do you gather anything unto the Presence? It’s the Message,
because God always gathers by the prophets. There’s no other way He
gathers. 

(2)	That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by
spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ
is at hand.

(3)	Let no man deceive you by any means: for (the) day shall not come,
except there (be) a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition;

		Now it tells you right there, you’re talking about the coming of the
Son of man, you’re talking about the Presence, and it says, there’s
no way that can be alone, there always has to be the twins. Now Judas
was the son of perdition and categorically, he was the temple of the
devil. Jesus was the Son of man and categorically, he was the temple of
God. 

23.		Now notice,

(4)	Who opposeth and exalts himself above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, shewing
himself that he is God.

(5)	Remember ye not, when I told you these things? (when I was    with
you.)

		Now you notice here, that Paul is using the same language Jesus used.
He said, “Remember,  I told you this already.” What did Paul
evidently tell them? He told them the same thing that Peter said in the
day of Pentecost and Paul would take his own ministry and warn them that
as long as there was a Son of man ministry there had to be a son of
perdition ministry. And if it was in the first; it’s got to be in the
last, because Alpha is always Omega. 

(6)	Now know ye (not that he) withholdeth might withholdeth       
(till) he be revealed in his (own) time. (Well, who is doing the
withholding? The Holy Spirit is and He’s going to be taken out of the
way.)

(7)	…the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he (that) now
(hindereth) will, be taken out of the way. (In other words, it’s 
going on.)

(8)	…then shall that Wicked be revealed, 

	And you’re talking now here of the incarnation. Satan incarnates this
pope and the spirit that’s among them gets incarnated which is God
Himself and so on right down the line.

24.		And you can see here in verse 10, and notice,

(9)	…whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power signs
and lying wonders.

(10)	And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
 (Now what’s the deception? The deception is the deception on the
Word. It tells you that.)

(10)	…because they received not the love of the truth, that they might
be saved.

		Now they didn’t receive the love of the truth; what do you think
about that? The love of the truth? Well, they didn’t have anything in
there to respond to the Word. You see, there’s got to be…love has a
chemistry. Eve was made for Adam; and not for anybody else. That’s
where she blew the whole thing. Really…you go right down the line; you
find that that’s what God had. God had a man and a woman all picked
out down the line. How many…that’s why Bro. Branham said, “Over
yonder you get the right one.” Of course, not for human mating and sex
and those things but for affinity and fellowship and those things that
are there. 

(10)	…because they received not the love of the truth, that they might
be saved.

(11)	…for this cause God (will) send them strong delusion, that they
(shall) believe (the) lie:

(12)	That all might be (condemned, judged) damned (because they) believe
not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (And which we know
unrighteousness is a worship, of course, that Cain had at that
particular time: all right.)

25.		You will notice how perfectly this fits with the Scripture as found
in Jude, 3 to 13. So you go back to the second last Book of the Bible
and a very little Book, a very short Book and it says here,

(3)	Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common
salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that
ye should earnestly contend for the faith which  was once (for all)
delivered unto the saints. 

(4)	For there are certain men crept in unawares, 

	Now notice, it doesn’t say let these guys get by with anything. It
says,  “No matter what anybody says you just preach the truth.” It
doesn’t say to take a club and hit them over the head; that would be
alright by me, I suppose, the frame of mind I’m usually in, is not
nice, I got to confess my sins though. 

(4)	… there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of     
old ordained to this (commandment.)

	They were prophesied about, now they are not in the Lamb’s Book of
Life, they could be in the Book of Life, because their name could be
taken out of there, but what you’re looking at particularly here is
the fact, they were prophesied, it was told about them.

(4)	…to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God
into lasciviousness, and (even) denying the only Lord God, and our Lord
Jesus Christ. 

	Now you notice, they’re not only denying our Lord God but denying the
Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, these guys aren’t even Trinitarians
or anything else, some of them, you know, they’ve gone way off by
themselves.

(5)	I will therefore put you in remembrance, (that) though (you) once
knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of
Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 

(6)	And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own
habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto
the judgment of the great day. 

(7)	Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and (so on.)

26. 	Now verse 8, [Jude]

(8)	Likewise also these filthy dreamers (or these the word ‘filthy’
is put in there. It shouldn’t be) these dreamers defile the flesh,
despise dominion, speak evil of dignities. 

(9)	 (Now watch!) Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the
devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring a railing
accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 

Now notice, neither Moses nor Michael involved themselves in accusation
or any battle with them, even Michael just stood back and said, “The
Lord rebuke you. I got nothing to do with this. This is between you and
God.” Why? We’ll get into that. 

(10)	But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what
they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt
themselves. (Right back to the tree of the knowledge, see?)

(11)	Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran
greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the
gainsayings of Core. 

(12)	These are spots in your feasts of (love), when they feast with you,
feeding themselves without fear: clouds without water, carried about of
winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, (That’s because
it’s all withered and gone.) twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 

(13)	Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering
stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. 

	Could you believe that there is such a people as that? Now you say,
“Well, just a minute, what are those people?” They come to you in
sheep clothing, all the trappings, everything is there, not so. 

27. 	Now, notice now, particularly, how this lines with Ps 105:15 as we
read, ‘touch not my anointed’ and we begin to look at Ezekiel,
chapter 28: 1-19.

(1)	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 

(2)	Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit
in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; (That’s peoples,
nations, the universe.) yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set
thine heart as the heart of God: (Just like a present day pope.) 

(3)	Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that can hide
from thee: 

(4)	With thy wisdom and thine understanding thou hast gotten thee
riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 

(5)	By (the) great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy
riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of (the) riches: 

 (6)	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; (Behold ) Because thou hast set
thine heart as the heart of God; 

(7)	Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of
the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy
wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 

(8)	(And) they shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the
deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. 

(9)	Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou
shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. (This
is a forerunning picture of the end time pope as well as, the king of
Tyre.)

(10)	(And) thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of
strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 

(11)	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 

(12)	Son of man, take a lamentation (against) the king of Tyrus, and say
unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of
wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 

(13)	Thou hast been in Eden (Now he never was in Eden. This is an exact
picture of Satan, not the king.)

(13)	Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was
thy covering, the sardius, (the) topaz, the diamond, emerald, carbuncle,
gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in
thee in the day thou wast created. 

(14)	Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; I have set thee so:
thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in
the midst of the stones of fire. 

(15)	Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,
till iniquity was found in thee. 

(16)	By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of
thee with violence, thou hast sinned: (and so on and so on.) 

	Now especially verse 14, 

(14)	Thou art the anointed cherub that covers; 

	Satan was anointed of God. Michael did not dare bring a railing
accusation against him because he was anointed of God. He left him be
entirely with God. 

28. 	We go now to the Book of Romans, the 12th chapter and you know this
is a pastoral message in this particular instance, 17 to 21.

(17)	Recompense no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight
of all men. 

(18)	If it (is) possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with
all men. (They got a little leeway there to just…little bit feisty but
not very much. If you do the first part you’re entitled to the
second.)

(19)	Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto
wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the
Lord. (But don’t let the sun go down upon your wrath. Don’t prolong
it.) 

(20)	Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 

(21)	Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

29. 	Let me see how Paul practiced this, what we’re talking about.
We’re going to go to the 23rd chapter of the Book of Acts, we’re
going to read the first five verses and there we will see.

(1)	And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I
have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. 

(2)	And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to
smite him on the mouth. 

(3)	Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for
sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten
contrary to the law? 

(4)	And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? 

(5)	Then said Paul, I (knew) not, brethren, he was the high priest: for
it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. 

	Paul did a double-take. Quickly turned back, said, “Well, I should
not have done it.” Why? Because God put him in authority, because
there is no authority that is not of God. 

30. 	In the light of the fact that Bro. Branham placed John, chapter 5,
the Judge, as Son of man in this very hour and that we are before the
White Throne in judgment is already here and as Bro. Branham said,
“When you sing, ‘I’ll go with him through the judgment’ and
you’re doing that now.” We turn as Bro. Branham gave us in the last
day and we’ll see Psalm 1 again as we go along. We’ll read Psalm 1.

(1)	Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
(Tree of the knowledge of good and evil,) nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. 

	He does not join himself with the false anointed and then sit there and
say, “Listen, I tell you, bless God, we’ve got bigger gifts than you
guys, don’t tell me I’m not of God, I speak in tongues, I do this, I
do that, yes sir, only God can do the things I’m doing so therefore, I
am of God.” 

(2)	But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his (Let’s put
it this way!) But his delight is in the (vindicated Word of God and in
the vindicated Word) …doth he meditate day and night. 

	Now let’s be truthful about it, unless the Word is vindicated, it’s
not truly revealed, because this Book is thousands of years old and is a
hundred percent up for grabs and no book ever written ever proven
itself. There has to be a principle of dynamical force or something
behind the writer to prove it’s authentic. That’s where the prophet
and vindication comes in; anything else is so much baloney, hogwash and
tripe. You can make soup out of tripe as the Scotsman do, but it’d be
thinner than Bro. Branham’s soup made from the shadow of a chicken
that starved to death.; so, so much for your reasoning. 

(2)	But his delight is in the (vindicated Word of God and in God’s
vindicated Word)…doth he meditate day and night.

(3)	And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, (Not
just river, but rivers of water. Seven Church Ages coming down.) that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Make him happy; make him glad he
did it.) 

(4)	The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind
driveth away. (The Holy Spirit just [Bro. Vayle makes a    whistling
sound.] moves them right out.) 

(5)	Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, (How can they
stand when they’re going to get blown clean out? Right out   of the
courtroom, right to the lake of fire.) nor sinners in the congregation
of the righteous. 

(6)	For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: (Sure, He does. He
gave them the Way.) but the way of the ungodly shall perish. (Why?
Because God didn’t give it: only the Word stands.)

31. 	Let’s go to Psalm 50: and read a bit.

(1)	The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth
from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. (Oh my!)

(2)	Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

(3)	Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour
before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. (Malachi
4, eh?)

(4)	He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he
may judge his people. 

       	That’s Moses all over again, “Hear, O heavens, and earth,
when I open my mouth, I’m going to talk and you better believe when I
talk, it’s God talking not Moses.” 

      	You say, “My, we need somebody like that.” 

      	You already had him and of course, history always runs true, they
turn him down flat. Now if they would have accepted William Branham the
ark couldn’t hold the people. You’d have to have a lot more than
eight bunk beds or four double beds I can tell you that, and the ark
couldn’t stand it. You notice God didn’t put any animals out for the
ninth person? Or the tenth or eleventh? No, He’s going to restore the
whole thing. All right.

(5)	Gather my saints together unto me; (2 Th 2:1, right?) Gather
(them)…those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

(6)	And the heavens shall declare his righteousness for God is judge
himself. (There you are.)

(7)	Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify
against thee: I am God, even thy God.

(8)	I will not (remove) thee (from) thy sacrifices or burnt offerings,
(and so on, right down the line.)

32. 	He said…I’m going to read that later on tonight, let that rest.
You can see God’s people and God has judged them. So it seems obvious
that we are standing for and with the Word that is in Itself sufficient,
nothing else is required and the Word will be fulfilled in us that
commands us as we have commandments by Jesus Christ Himself concerning
this very subject. Matthew, the 5th chapter, 11 to 12 and notice what it
says,  

(11)	Blessed are (you), when men shall revile you, and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, (It better be
false.) for my (Name’s) sake. 

(12)	Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is (thy) reward in
heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 

	To get in the prophet class, there’s two things you got to do. You
got to believe what the prophet said, then endure somewhat the prophet
endures, then you’re in the prophet class. All right. 

33. 	Let’s go to 1 Peter, and take the 2nd chapter, and I could read
the whole chapter but I’m not going to; I’m not going to do that,
but it does say in verse 9.

(9)	(You) are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, 
a peculiar people; that (you) should shew forth the praises of him who
hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

(10)	Which in time past were not a people, but are now (a) people of
God: (These Gentiles, see?) which have not obtained mercy, but now have
obtained mercy.

(11) 	Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain
from fleshly lusts, (that) war against the soul; 

(12)	Having your (behavior honorable) among the Gentiles: that, whereas
they speak (evil) against you as evildoers, they may by your good works,
which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. (And
that’s today.)

(13)	Submit yourselves (everyone) to every ordinance of man for the
Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 

(14)	Or governors, unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of
evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 

(15)	For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to
silence the ignorance of foolish men: 

(16)	As free, and not using your liberty (as) a cloke of maliciousness,
but as servants of God. 

(17)	Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
(And so on. You see, he’s talking the same as Paul did in that
particular area.) 

34. 	Now watch: connect this with 1 Corinthians the 4th chapter, and we
begin again to see the same picture: 9 to 13. [End of side one of tape]

(9)	For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were
appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to
angels, to men. 

(10)	We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are
weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. 

(11)	Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are
naked, and are buffeted, have no certain dwelling place; 

(12)	And labour, working with our own hands: (He had a certain dwelling
place a little later on, they threw him in prison. That nice, eh?) being
reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 

(13)	Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world,
and are the offscouring of things unto this day.

(14)	I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons (to)
warn you. (The same thing takes place.)

35. 	Notice over in Hebrews, the 10th chapter, and we don’t have to
read a lot of it either. But in the 10th chapter, Paul is speaking here
and he said in verse 30.

(30)	For we know that (he) hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me,  I
will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his
people. (See?)

(31)	It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.  

(32)	But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were
illuminated, (you) endured a great fight of afflictions;

(33) 	Partly, (while you) were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and
afflictions; and partly, (while you) became companions of them that were
so used. 

(34)	For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the
spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves (you) have in heaven a
better and enduring substance. 

(35)	Cast not away therefore (that) confidence, (and so on.)

(36)	(And) ye have need of patience,…

	You notice in there that aliening yourself with the truth is going to
cause you trouble, very great trouble. 

36. 	Then notice over on Revelation, chapter 12, and verses 10 to 11 and
it says here.

(10)	And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation,
and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ:
for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before
our God day and night. 

(11)	And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of
their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 

	Now of course, many people in the First Age, the Second Age of the
calf, we’re only too glad to sacrifice their lives. That’s not in
this hour. It’s a reproach for the Word is what you are looking at,
See? And the testimony that they have which means they do not love their
own lives as their own lives are important, they got a thought coming,
they got a finger in the pie, they got some bone to throw in the pot,
part of the stew, no. Your own life you negate for the Presence and
glory of the life that is now here amongst us because He is here. All
right. 

37. 	That’s what I wanted to embellish and bring to your attention
when I made that marginal reference to what I did, just in case there
are those that think well, I’m just sort of talking about what’s
occurred in my life. Well, I’m just not talking about what occurred in
my life, I’m talking about what is in the Bible, what occurs in my
life, what occurred in Bro. Branham’s life, what occurs in your life.
And this is the proper attitude. Now the trouble is we do give way to
wrath, and the trouble with that is and it wouldn’t be any trouble if
we didn’t let the sun go down upon it. You know what I mean, you just
get angry and you get over it, you know. But the point is anger many
times can go on until it becomes a complete breakdown of the
communication between us and God and nothing from the Word can come
through. So, what we are looking at here is not just a matter of
conduct, we are looking at an escape hatch, letting off the steam, able
to turn it over to the Lord and get out of the way. So that takes care
of that thought I was bringing you.

38. 	Now the second thought I want to bring to your attention and it
will take all our time tonight, I guess. At the same time I want to
cover an Alpha and Omega application to a subject covered by Paul
wherein there was sown a seed in the First Age that materializes in the
last or the Seventh Age. Now you’re looking at now, a sowing and a
reaping, you’re looking at a Alpha and Omega, you’re looking at
original spoken Word is original seed and that absolutely has to bring
forth what is in the Seed. 

39. 	Now, we’re going to go to Timothy, chapter 6, because this has
come to me recently and I don’t want to try to put it in another
sermon, I’m just going to take a little bit tonight and this will take
care of the subject. In 1 Tim 6:6-12 and notice particularly the first
part of the 10th verse.   

 (1)	Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters
worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not
blasphemed. (In other words, the Name of God and His teachings be not
blasphemed.)

(2)	And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them,
because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are
faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and
exhort. 

(3)	If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to (the) wholesome
words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, (even) to the doctrine
which is according to godliness; 

 (4)	He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strife
of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 

(5)	Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the
truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 

(6)	But godliness with contentment is great gain. (In other words,
taking the Word of God is our peace.) 

(7)	For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can
carry nothing out (of it). 

(8)	And having food and raiment let us therewith (be) content. 

(9)	But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and
into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and
perdition. (That’s hell.)

(10)	For the love of money is the root of all evil: which some coveted
after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows. 

(11)	But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 

(12)	Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto
thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many
witnesses. 

	And Paul said, “For the love of money is the root of all evil.”
Now, in the margin it says, “It is a root of every evil.” And
that’s true. But I’m not worried about the literal Greek so much,
because I believe the emphasis is on the fact that the Omega from that
Alpha proves that it is the root in this hour of all evil. 

40. 	Now to begin with every plant does not have a seed like unto wheat
or corn, some plants are produced by roots, thus root and seed are one
of the same as is proven in Galatians where Jesus is called the
‘Seed’ and in Isaiah where He is called the ‘Root’, so
therefore, they are both producers. The life in the root, the life in
the seed: every seed eventually takes a root. Now root for evil is the
love of money which can lead you away from the Word. Just the same as
can the reasoning of Cain, lead to evil and then murder. And make no
mistake about it, the Bible says so. 

	So, in 1Timothy here we find Paul warning that a root or a seed has
been sown that must be and surely will come forth in the last day, so
that money will actually control worship and bring forth as it did at
the time of Cain and Abel. Now, how many people are going to believe
that little bit of nonsense? Though it’s not nonsense; it’s the Word
of God. 

41. 	Alpha is Omega—See?—seed time and harvest. The two great
competitors at the last days that have raised up are Catholic and
Protestant: harlot and daughters, number one. And number two: the Jews.
Rome has all the gold and the Jews have all the paper. And notice the
condition of the church at the Appearing over here in Revelation the 3rd
chapter and it says, 

(14)	…unto the angel (the (messenger) of the church (which is) of
(Laodicea) write; These things saith the Amen, 

	That’s a winder-upper. That’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. So at the
Seventh Church Age, you got THUS SAITH THE LORD. Now there’s only one
THUS SAITH THE LORD and that’s the prophet. God Himself in the
prophet.

(14)	…the faithful and true witness, (What’s he witnessing to?
It’s THUS SAITH THE LORD, His own Amen.) the beginning of the creation
of God; (God forming Himself in the form of human flesh.)

(15)	I know thy works, thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert
cold or hot. 

(16)	So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will
spue thee out of my mouth. 

42. 	Now watch! Watch their condition! Their condition is one of the
corruption of wealth. See? Now there’s nothing in the world that will
make you luker-warmer toward God than money. Might think that’s not
right but it’s right here.

(17)	Because thou sayest, I am rich, increased (in) goods, and have need
of nothing; and knowest not… (Their financial super financial
condition have made them completely oblivious to and rebellious to the
very God and His word whom they say they serve.)…(you are) wretched, 

	They’re beggars, in spite of all their gold; they are not rich toward
God. Money, wealth, prestige do not make you anything but an idiot and
laughing stock, a role model destined to hell with a bunch of people
with you. If you don’t believe it; look at Hollywood. Look at Trump.
Look at all these guys out there that got the money. Causes problems in
every church, I don’t care where you are, it always causes problems.
And in this day, it’s a big problem. You are a bunch of beggars in
spite of it. 

(17)	…and (you are) miserable, poor, naked (and blind:)

	In spite of the fact that you got all of this worldly goods, because
this is the Seventh Church Age which is also Revelation, chapter 18
which we will read.

(18)	I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, (That’s
faith.)

43. 	Get the true revelation of the Word of Almighty God which at this
hour can prove it, absolutely faithful to all ages, the THUS SAITH THE
LORD in Genesis is THUS SAITH THE LORD in the Book of Revelation,
chapter 22, to the very last verses. Can’t add or take. 22:10 the
opening of the Seals, 22:14 Tree of Life; immortality, 22:14 cleansing
your robes, going on in, right to the Tree of Life. He said, “You
don’t have it. Now you got plenty of money. No problem there.” But
as a gift blinds the eyes of a person so does this money blind the
church and they call it literally, give it the power of the Holy Ghost,
because they can buy up all radio stations, TV stations, they can do
anything they can, to make a two-fold more child of hell than they
them-selves are. And the Bible said, “You will circumnavigate the
whole earth to do it and for the first time the whole earth is being
done.” So now you got a two-fold child of hell, if that doesn’t line
up with Jude, I can’t read my Bible. The beginning is nothing compared
to the end. That’s just the seed. [Revelation 3:]

(19)	As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: (Therefore you better
understand and change your mind) and repent. (And so on.) 

44. 	Notice what James says in chapter 4: and in verses 1 to 3. 

(1)	From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence,
even of your lusts that war in your members? 

(2)	Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot
obtain: (you) fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 

	Where’s Russia right today? They threw religion out; it was no good
anyway, it drove them to Communism. Ever since then wars, wars, wars,
fight, fight, fight. Ever since the church got the power it got in this
twentieth century, there’s wars, wars, wars, fight, fight, fight, and
every single one is a colonial war. It’s a colonial war. Right in
Somalia, right today, that’s not simply civil war, that’s colonial
and a hundred percent in the extent that there’s two or three warlords
want to run and grab the whole thing and they don’t care two bits
about anybody. They have no compassion. They have no nothing. They’re
completely devoid of any spirit. There’s not even a spirit of man
there anymore. It’s a spirit of the beast. Anybody tell me different,
doesn’t even know what he’s talking about. 

45. 	Now, 

(4)	Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of
the world is enmity with God? (Revelation chapter 3.) whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. (Revelation
chapter 3.)

(5)	Do (you) think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that
dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

(6)	But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resists the proud,
but giveth grace unto the humble.

(7)	Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will
flee you. 

	Now you notice in here this is all built upon the concept of greed, the
concept of the desire of this world’s goods, and you notice, that the
desire is to consume it upon themselves, making them just adulterers and
adulteresses, and that’s what Bro. Branham said, “The church is
into, complete adultery.” It’s brought in there by the world’s
goods. That’s why America builds the image to the beast. All of these
things are right in here, showing you that this love of the money is the
root of the monster that’s in the world right today. See? 

46. 	Now, we’re tracking it down and the 5th chapter, [James] 1-9. 

(1) 	Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall
come upon you. 

(2)	Your riches are corrupted, (There’s Revelation 3, again.) your
garments are motheaten. (Revelation 3:) 

 (3)	Your gold and silver (are) cankered (Revelation 3); and the rust of
them shall be a witness against you (and it is right now), and eat your
flesh as it were fire. (You) have heaped treasure together for the last
days. (Alpha, see? To Omega.)

(4)	Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields,
which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them (that)
have reaped are entered into the Lord of (the harvest). 

47. 	Wouldn’t you just love to get the money that they owe you on
stocks? Why the CEO’s have a great time spending millions of dollars
that’s your money if you own any stocks; our senators and congressmen
spending billions of dollars that are ours; no problem at all. You
can’t even have the medicine you want. Pretty soon you’re going to
be paying ten dollars for a vitamin C pill if they defeat the Orrin
Hatch bill. You’ll get nothing. You go to the doctor and his greed has
inflated bills that beat Medicare out of billions and billions and when
Clinton gets through he will have a bill, don’t you worry about that.
The GOP right with him…they’ll have a bill. Then where is the greed
of the doctors going to go? They’re getting greedier still. They talk
about Canada having a good health system; that’s a bunch of hogwash.
Why do the Canadians getting their insurance policy out of Minnesota
right now? So they can come down to the States and get help. Greed! Get
it down flat. It’s greed! They sell their mothers, their fathers,
their grandparents and further generations plumb into hell and
degradation. Greed! Money! The love of it! Don’t try to tell me
something else, I can read my Bible. A seed was sown, a root was
planted. 

48. 	Let’s keep reading. [James 5:]  

(5)	(Now you) have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; 

	America, what? We got about one sixth of the population of the world
and we got ninety-six percent of everything the world has. One sixteen,
maybe, one sixteenth of the population, ninety-four percent of
everything. That’s the way they’re living. Our garbage tins are
better furnished than the poor people overseas. And the do-gooders, they
want to take it all away, so nobody gets anything. Don’t listen to
do-gooders. There are no do-gooders in the Bible. The first do-gooder
was Satan. In other words, they’re a bunch of lousy seducers. 

(5)	(You) have lived in pleasure and been wanton; (you) have nourished
your hearts, as in (the) day of slaughter. 

(6)	(You) have condemned and killed the just; and he (had) not
resist(ed) you. 

(7)	Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold,
the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the   earth, and hath
long patience for it, until he receive the early       and latter rain.

	At the time of the early and latter rain of Bro. Branham’s ministry
the Catholics got all the gold and the Jews have all the money, the
paper. Greed! Absolutely!  

(9)	Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned:
behold, the judge stands (at) the door.

	What’s he talking about? Money! That’s why you got Malachi; God’s
got a problem with these people concerning money. Money, the love of
that money is the root of evil in this hour that’s coming forth. If
you don’t agree now, you soon will. 

49. 	Let’s go to Revelation, chapter 18.

(1)	And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven,
having great power; the earth was lightened with his glory. 

(2)	And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great
is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, the hold
of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
(That is Babylon which is come right down to Rome.)

(3)	For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornications, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with
her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed  rich through the
abundance of her delicacies. (There you are, the commerce    and the
church.)

(4)	And I heard (a) voice, saying, Come out of her, my people, be not
partakers of her sins, (The organized system of money religion.) be not
partakers of her plagues. 

(5)	For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her
iniquities. 

(6)	Reward her (and so on. See!) 

(7)	…she lived deliciously, (and then down here.)

(11)	And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for
no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 

 (12)	The merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, and linen, and
(everything.)

	Watch at the tail end, it absolutely bogs right down. And the church is
the cause of the whole thing and in the church will end up every single
thing as politics and religion and commerce all get together, you’re
going to find that every single thing is in this church world system as
the Jews and Rome gets together. They have to and I’m not going to
read it all. 

50. 	I’m just going to turn back to Revelation 13 so you get the
picture I have in mind because it’s scriptural. Revelation 13, verse
11. 

(11)	And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and (spoke like) a dragon. (That’s America.)

(12)	…he exercised all the power of the first beast before him, and
caused the earth and them (that worship,) (that) dwell therein to
worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (In other words,
goes right back to Rome.)

(13)	And he doeth great wonders, he maketh fire come down from heaven on
the earth in the sight of men,

(14)	And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to
them that dwell on the earth, they should make an image to the beast,
(that) had the wound by a sword, and did live.

(15)	And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, the
image of the beast (would) both speak, and cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 

(16)	And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 

(17)	And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

	So there you are, your church system got that way in the beginning by
the love of money. Now there’s no way they’re going to give it up,
as Bro. Branham said, “Those preachers aren’t going to give up their
pension, don’t you believe it for one minute.” 

51. 	Now, let’s turn to Jude, verse 11.

(11)	Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran
greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the
gainsayings of Core. 

	So now you got three things in there and money is one of them. They
love their own idea of religion; they love money; they love to get it;
they love error; all of these things there. 

52. 	Now, just quickly we’ll look at some Scriptures, 2 Pet 2:1-3.

(1)	But there were false prophets (among) also among the people, even as
there shall be false teachers among you, privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon
themselves swift destruction. 

(2)	And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the
way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 

(3)	And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
merchandise of you: 

	They got you for one reason: to get money out of you. I’ve been
accused of teaching tithing and giving wrong. I’d like to meet that
man here in this pulpit. He won’t come; wouldn’t let him in anyway.
Go behind my back and say I’m off on the proper schematic of giving.
Why didn’t he do it like Bro. Branham? Take everything out of his
pocket at the end of the week and put that on the altar? See, you can
open your mouths around here and come show just what you got, brother. I
know what’s on those tapes. Yeah, and I know the life of the prophet
lived, too. Not some mealy mouth junk someone is going to palm off on
you. And it goes on to say right here, it says, 

(3)	…they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment
now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 

	And God didn’t spare that Word; he’s not going to spare this people
either. See, that’s your money system, right today. 

53.	Verses 15 and 16.

(15)	Which have forsaken the right way, and gone astray, following the
way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 

(16)	(And) was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with
man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

54. 	Let’s go over here to Mark 8; I think is what I want, and 36.
Listen! 

(36)	…what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? 

55. 	With that we go to 1 Corinthians, the 6th chapter, 9 to 10.

(9)	Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of
God? (What shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose
his own soul? Now listen!) Know ye not the unrighteous shall not inherit
the kingdom of God? (So this man’s an unrighteous man.) Be not
deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor
effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 

(10)	Nor thieves, nor covetous, 

	At the end time covetousness is the biggest, one of the biggest ones of
all. Who’s screaming for money today more than anybody? The guy’s
with AIDS. And what’s the government doing, taking every cent you got
and I’ve got to pamper them. See. America is spending herself plumb to
death.

56. 	Notice in 1 Peter, let’s go back there… 1 Pet 1:13, simple
verse.

(13)	Wherefore (it says,) gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,     
and hope to the end for the grace that is brought unto you at        the
revelation of Jesus Christ; 

(14)	As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the
former lusts in your ignorance: 

(15)	But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all
manner of (behavior;)

(16)	Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. (And Bro. Branham
said, “He had to make a way for it.”) 

(17)	(But) if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons
judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning
here in fear:

(18)	Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold, from your vain (behavior)  received by
tradition from your fathers; (In other words, the law won’t do it;
works won’t do it.) 

(19)	But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot: 

(20)	Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, was
manifest in these last times for you, 

(21)	Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and
gave him glory; that your hope your faith and hope might be in God. 

(22)	Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the
Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another
with a pure heart fervently: 

(23)	Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by
the word of God, which liveth and abides for ever.

57. 	What we’re looking at here then, we’re comparing the fact that
the church has gone for the silver and gold that it cannot take the
place of the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. But watch now carefully!
The church will scream about the Blood of Jesus Christ. It will speak
about God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. It will speak about the Virgin
Mary. It will take a lot of things it wants to say and all the time
it’s money, money, money, money, money. Who’s got the gold? The
Roman Catholic church. Who’s got the paper? The Jews. Are they going
to get together? Absolutely! What drives them together? Money. Why are
the people going to join the World Church? Money. They’re going to
make it flow. You can’t buy and sell without the money. You got to do
the will; you got to think the doctrine. What’s going to make them do
it? Money. We’ll come and do…I’m just proving to you that Bro.
Branham was a hundred percent on target. Rome’s got the gold and the
Jews got the paper. And I think he said, “They got a hundred and
fifty-four billion dollars at one time,” that’s chicken feed now. 

58.	 Notice what it says in Luke chapter 16 and that’s of course on
stewardship. 

(1)	And he said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which
had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he wasted his
goods. 

(2)	And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of
thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer
steward. 

	Now you know, this is the case where this man…he did some double
bookkeeping, he had two sets of books. And that’s what the IRS is
always looking for; the two sets of books, because if you’re spending
money more than you’re coming in, you know you’re getting…you got
your hand in the till somewhere. That’s what a certain guy said, he
said, “I can’t figure how they’re spending all this money.”
Well, if you get your hand in the till, it’s not so bad. It’s not so
hard. So anyway, he did some double bookkeeping here.

59. 	And notice what it says in verse 9.

(9)	And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon   of
unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into
everlasting habitations.

	He’s telling you right here in my books, you do the right thing now,
because when the chips are down and you haven’t done the right thing
now, you’re in trouble. The very thing that you do right now, making
friends with the unrighteous mammon, now remember, no man can serve two
masters, he either serve mammon or serve God. But you can become a
friend to admit to you by doing the right thing and setting the scene,
whereby God then is obligated to take care of you and you won’t find
yourself undone and at a loss. 

	Many people are so scared today. People are loosing their pensions. If
we only knew what’s under the tablecloth of politics and commerce
we’d all likely have a heart failure except for one thing; I think
we’re the kind of people that can die in the ditch out there if we
have to. I think God’s big enough in our hearts; we may be pretty
chicken feed in the eyes of ourselves and the eyes of the people. But in
the eyes of God we’re not chicken feed. I think we’re pretty close
to silver dollars. We’re like Abraham, I trust, by this late in the
day, that whatever comes we can stand by. Like Abraham said, “Look it,
I’m not taking a nickel from anybody.” Just stand right here with
God …?... was a powerful statement before the coming of the Son before
the coming of that great day. And he says right here,

(11)	If (you) have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will
commit to (you) the true riches? (That’s Revelation, chapter 3 right
again. The last day Laodicean church. They have been wrong, see. What
they doing?) 

60. 	Let’s go to Revelation 6, the opening of the Seals. And in
Revelation 6…let’s look at it.

(1)	…when (I saw) the Lamb open one of the seals, and noise of
thunder, one of the four, Come see.

(2)	…a white horse: a bow; a crown (no arrows) conquering, and to
conquer.

(3)	…second seal, 

(4)	…(a red) horse power was given to him to take peace from the
earth, and kill a great sword. (Watch number three!)

(5)	…the third seal, Come see. (Behold) a black horse; and he sat on
him had a pair of balances…

(6)	And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure
of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see
thou hurt not the oil and wine. (Then the last, what was the last one?
Death.) 

61. 	So what comes just before death? Money: the church system with
money, charging for weddings, for funerals, for prayers, for this, for
that. If you haven’t got it, then you’re not going to get the
church’s blessing. Why did Harold Marcondes dad leave the Catholic
church? Because his son Joseph died and poor old Marcondes didn’t have
any money: the priest said, “I can’t bury him.” 

      	Well, he said, “That’s the church, forget it.” 

      	He walked out and listened to a Protestant group somewhere and he
got truly born again, a Pentecostal. Yeah, I can tell and tell you
stories where the priest came and demanded: no money, no service.
Charging for the little…Bro. Branham said, “Novenas, and this and
that, the masses, say a mass, give some money.” I can tell you one
thing if the church couldn’t keep me out of hell; I can tell you one
thing it will never pray me out, that’s the biggest bunch of hogwash
and crud I’ve heard in my life. And anybody believes that nonsense
deserves to be stuck; you’ve asked for it. [Congregation laughs.] Yes
sir, I’m not tough tonight; I’m just telling you the truth. 

       	And then what it said, just as that money system takes ahold,
what’s the next thing? The brindle beast, it gets all poured into one,
a great ecumenical society, a pale horse called death and Hell followed
with him. The brindle horse. How here’s what you’re looking at.
You’re looking at the Word of God. 

62. 	Now here is the answer as to why the love of money is the root
toward complete disobedience to Scripture, even as Bro. Branham brought
out about those preachers that are tied up to the organization because
they’re fearful of their pension, they’re fearful way of living or
something else. I’m going to tell you, brother/sister, the rewards
that are ahead of those people who do the right thing, we’re not just
talking about ministers but the people themselves, are so great and so
fantastic that what little we go through now, what little price we pay
is infinitesimal. 

      	When I look back and you better believe that what my wife and I
went through is nothing but marshmallows, whipped cream and you know,
the cherry on the whipped cream and the ice cream, when I look back it
really wasn’t anything. I thought it was tough in those days, always
is tough when you’re going through it, but there’s one thing that is
so true in the Scripture, you can always tell somebody when you’ve
gone through, say, “Listen, I’m going to tell you what; God’s
faithful, His Word is true. And you don’t have to worry about it.”
Just follow the Scripture; you’re going to see it’s true. So I just
wanted to bring you those thoughts tonight before we started in
something else to clear the record as to why I preach what I preach and
how I see these things come before us and I just share them with you.
Now let’s bow our heads in prayer.

	Heavenly Father, as we go to the next part of our service, the
Communion, Foot-washing, may it be truly enlightening Lord, what we see
in Your Scripture. May the experience Lord, be rich and real to our
hearts, minds, and souls getting right down from our heart and mind and
spirit into our…right deep into our soul Lord, nourishing the seed
there, knowing that Lord, even as You ate before You died, You ate after
You died, rose in the Resurrection, came up, even so Lord, we ate
spiritual food, the wrong kind before we died unto this Life and these
Words we had but now we’re risen with the resurrection of Christ;
we’ve got a new manna, we got a rich real manna from heaven, the Word
of Almighty God, manna distilling like dew upon the grass, coming down
from heaven Lord, this true Word which we know came from You because of
vindication. Help us Lord, not to just rhyme and sing and dance
vindication, vindication, Presence, Presence, Presence, but Lord, let it
be real that You truly are here and You’ve proven Yourself, You’ve
come and showed Yourself visibly by even taking a picture with the
camera, You’ve given us Your Word of Life Lord. Help us to realize
that as we look at Your Word tonight and we take the Communion in
Jesus’ Name, we pray, Amen. 

      	[Communion Service]

2.  	 I was reading a bit out of the 50th Psalm and I want to read it
again because I didn’t really want to combine it with the other part. 

(1)	The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth
from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 

	Now let’s face it, this is Matthew 24, as the sun rises in the East
and sets in the West, in other words, it’s all over and God is doing
it. “God has come down,” as Bro. Branham said, “When His son and
daughter sinned in the Garden of Eden; He never sent a cherub, an angel,
a messenger, He Himself came down, so today.” He said, “As God went
down to Egypt, Moses, He  not only revealed Himself or manifest Himself
in signs and wonders, but visibly seen the Pillar of Fire upon Mount
Sinai, so today. We have His picture and there is the picture on the
wall.” 

2.   	All right. 

(1)	The mighty God, even the LORD, 

	The mighty God, even Jehovah, Elohim, even Jehovah. There you see again
the great mysterious Elohim unapproachable, just stand back. He does
what He wants to do, forget it. Then you see Jehovah coming right down,
mainly with man becoming a man: eight redemptive titles of which
Sanctification is the eighth one. We’re already started into it, being
called out and separated for the Great Millennium. Marvelous what’s
going on and you notice, the truth and beauty of it, even in Ephesians;
I’ll bring this out while I’m talking to you, because it fits in
here nicely. It says, [Chapter 1:]

(13)	In whom (you)  trusted, after (you) heard the word of truth, (and
doctrine) of salvation: in (who) after  (you) believed, (you) were
sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,

(14)	Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the
purchase possession, unto the praise to his glory.

3.    	It tells you right there; there’s a further sanctification. The
Holy Spirit baptism is temporal. It’s to get you to the Resurrection:
but what about after the Resurrection? Well, hey now we’re getting
into the tremendous Headship of the incarnate God in the Lord Jesus
Christ leading His people like sheep. And they shall build and another
shall not inhabit. And they shall plant and another shall not eat
thereof. Yup. We’re looking for that great day and that great day is
dawned on us.  [Psalm 50:]

(2)	Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 

	In other words, the God of New Jerusalem, the God of the Bride, the
same One that shined in the East is shined in the West, the same Son of
man. The same One, God, even Jehovah, Elohim, even Jehovah, manifesting
Himself. Now he said, 

(3)	Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: 

4.   	Now then watch what happens after He doesn’t keep silence, after
we hear from heaven, after the sun sets in the West, after the same
Light, the same ministry, the same vindication, God doing for the
Gentiles. It says here, 

(3)	…a fire shall devour before him, and be very tempestuous round
about him. (Malachi, chapter 4, there it is again.)

(4)	(Now,) He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth,
that he may judge (the) people. 

	There again I said, “There’s Moses in Deuteronomy, ‘Hear O Earth,
hear O heavens,’ going to stand right here he said.” You know I’m
going to tell you something; you just start thinking of Moses and Paul
and William Branham, and you’re going to see an absolute unity of
Spirit, because it’s one God in three manifestations or ministries and
those three great men. Stand right there: Moses, hear O heaven, hear O
earth, I challenge you.” and William Branham said, “I challenge
you.” Paul said, “I challenge you.” Oh man, wouldn’t every
Pentecostal love to go around challenging people? You don’t need to
challenge anybody anymore; you believe It. 

5.   	Hey, listen, the shoe is on the other foot and I mean the
devil’s foot. Old split-hoof has got a iron red hot shoe as far as
I’m concerned and he’ll dance. He’ll dance with pain; I’ll dance
with joy. We’ll dance, we’re allowed to dance, don’t worry. 

	Yup. To judge the people, Psalm number 1: left hand, right hand. The
widow says, “Avenge me. Make me right. I want my property. I am
right.” You’ll hear about the enforcement when we get to the Bride
Tree, restoration. “I want it,” she said, “Going to have it.”
Yup. He’s judging His people. What’s His judgment? “You’re the
righteous, sinless Bride, didn’t do it in the first place, tricked
into it.” He shall…now, [Psalm 50:] 

(5)	Gather my saints together unto me; those that made a covenant with
me by sacrifice. 

6.   	Bring my saints together based on the message of Paul which was
the message of the cross. “Be ye perfect even as your Father.” Bro.
Branham said, “God made a way for that commandment.” He said, “The
Blood of Jesus Christ scatters sin until there be no evidence. How can
you convict a man without evidence.” See? 

(5)	Gather my saints…

(6)	And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge
himself. 

	Now what is this righteousness talking about here? The proof, the
vindication of the reality of His Word by bringing It to pass. God’s
His own interpreter. And He leads in the worship by revelation; there
isn’t any worship without revelation. “You can’t worship and serve
God apart from a prophet.”  

(7)	Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify
against thee: I am God, even thy God. 

7.   	You say, Well did God testify against us? He sure did when he
preached Anointed Ones at the End Time, and brought us all out. He let
us know we’re a part of the wretched, naked, miserable bunch because
He said, “I stand at the door and knock, come on out, I’ll give you
what’s real.” Bro. Branham spoke on a genuine baptism with the Holy
Ghost, Amen. 

(8)	I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings,
to have been continually before me. 

(9)	I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy
folds. 

(10)	For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a
thousand hills.

	And Bro. Branham told us, “He’s come back to claim it all.”
…?…and the fullness thereof. He’s come back to claim it. He’s
doing it right now. 

(11)	I know all the fowls of the mountains: …the wild beasts of the
field are mine. 

(12)	If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and
the fulness thereof. 

(13)	Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 

(14)	Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 

(15)	And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and
thou shalt glorify me.

8.   	See, we’ve always wanted to glorify God a little bit, even
that’s been my prayer for all…for about over a half a century.
We’re doing it right now. You say, Well, I didn’t know that I
glorify God.” I didn’t know that either, till I read the Bible. You
know you can learn a lot, you learn a lot of things by reading the
Bible, especially adapting it to this Message and the Message of the
Bible, bringing you back and forth. See?  

(16)	But  the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare (thy)
statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?  (You
know: What has the wicked got to do with the Word of God? Nothing.) 

(17)	Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
(See?)  [End of side two of tape]

(18)	When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast
been partaker with adulterers. (If that isn’t the church today I’ll
just eat my shirt or eat yours, I don’t care what it is. See?)

(19)	Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 

(20)	Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest
thine own mother's son.

(21)	These things thou (hast) done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest
that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee,
and set them in order before thine eyes. (Listen!)  

(22)	Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces,
and there be none to deliver. 

(23)	Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his
conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

9.   	How can you do that without a vindicated prophet? Tell me! You
can’t do it. What was I talking about tonight: communion? What is
communion? It’s sacrifice. God could not honor the sacrifices under
the law, but it went a long, long way, you bet it did. It went a long
way. Only the prophet had close to the Baptism of the Holy Ghost that
you and I now enjoy under the age of grace; the last two days, two
thousand years, it’s marvelous. But God now looking down, He said,
“You’re looking at this now God, we’re holding Your sacrifice that
You gave, we’re honoring the death of the Lord Jesus Christ until You
come.” But now remember this, He is already here proving His
Resurrection. It’s not that He is here personally in the sense of the
incarnation, that’s not coming in flesh we’re talking about. We’re
talking about the Appearing, the days of the Son of man. We’re talking
about that One called Elohim. Bro. Branham said, “Jehovah of the Old
is Jesus of the New.” And I don’t care what you call it,
Elohim-Jehovah, that’s exactly who He is. Not two gods, One God,
manifesting revealing Himself in this end time. He’s come down. Why?
Because this is the hour of the Resurrection proving that Christ is
risen from the dead. God Himself doing it. 

10. 	So brother/sister, as we take the Communion, the elements tonight,
remember one thing, we’re showing His death till He come and since
He’s here at the Head of the church we are rejoicing in a manner which
are forebears could not rejoice that God is here, spiritual head of His
church. He is here. As Bro. Branham said, “Headship is come.” The
One that brought the Word to gather His people will soon utter His Voice
to bring forth the dead: He’s got to. Now look, let’s not get in a
hurry. You can’t make it happen ahead of time. It only causes
agitation and jitters, wonderments, doubts; don’t do it. Get you
thinking about Bro. Branham saying this and saying that; then you want
to bring in all kinds of things. Just hold steady. 

11. 	Bro. Branham made the final statement, he said, “Everything the
Bride needs to have she got under those Seven Seals.” The Seven Seals
were opened. People were agitated. They don’t think the Seventh Seal
is open. Then how could the Bible, how could the scroll be opened? You
can’t open six, and have the seventh one cementing everything down.
You’ll still be in the same bad shape, looking between the lines and
hoping to read something. Seven Thunders uttered their voices, the
mysteries and there again, why are people looking for more mysteries? I
don’t know why. They think if they get so mysterious, they’ll be
able to tell you something, get you running to them. I got news for you;
I can’t tell you anything, unless I see it right here in Bro.
Branham’s preaching. And then I don’t know a hundred percent if
I’m right just by the grace of God, I trust I am, going back and forth
to the Word. I got no great things to tell you. 

	But I can tell you this; He is risen from the dead, proven, absolutely
proven. No two ways about it. He became the first fruits of those that
slept and he’s going to be the same first fruit of those that are
sleeping now and for those that are standing He is that Tree of Life,
gives us immortality. You can’t change it, brother/sister. Yeah, you
can’t do it. 

12. 	Now everything is in a dimension. Everything is in a dimension.
See? What is everything? Everything you see around you in a dimension.
Where did it come from? From Word. So everything right now is all in
this Word here and it’s…God just brings forth each Word in the right
minute, the right second, the right heartbeat, just going on. Now
suddenly the last person’s going to die and be buried. At that time no
more Bride dies. No. they could take a shotgun and blow you right
through this year into next year. There’s no way you’re going to die
because the last one died. Your remainder got to get…. standing here.
What are they going to do about that? Nothing. They can’t. How are you
 going to fight God? How are you going to defeat God? See. Jonah tried
that. It couldn’t defeat God. He loused himself up. Of course, God
straightened him out good, you don’t hear much…you don’t hear
anything of Jonah at that time on. Last you hear he’s grumbling about
the vine that got cut down. Not a very happy ending for the prophet, yet
God honored his prophet by making him a type Jesus in the Resurrection. 

13. 	Now anyway, that’s the picture tonight, we’re looking at
Communion. We positively recognize that death of the Lord Jesus Christ,
the shed blood that atoned, the Holy Spirit that came back upon us
because of that and right tonight we glorify God, because the same
ministry of Elohim-Jehovah in the Lord Jesus Christ is right here
tonight. Same God is here proving the Resurrection and because He lives,
now listen, we’re not talking about a Spirit, just God living, we’re
talking about the fact that Jesus, that man himself is alive right now
on the throne. We’re going to live also. 

So we got Mediator, Intercessor, and what? Beyond even that. We’ve got
the complete assurance and vindication in that person; we’re going to
be like Him. And that’s what Paul said, without that he said, I’m
just a miserable person. Now let’s turn that around tonight and make
it a happy occasion to know He’s living and we’re going to live with
Him. Will the brethren come forward then so we can take the emblems? And
there’s room back here for foot-washing. Don’t remember… [Tape
ends.]
