Daniel’s Seventieth Week Bro. Lee Vayle Mississauga, Ontario July 7, 1991 …Egypt saw that Pillar of Fire, but it didn’t mean a thing to them. They saw that Cloud, they saw the first born deceased before You, it only angered them. What shall we expect in this hour when we have the scientific proof? We have ‘Thus Saith the Lord’ the miracle of conviction and vindication. We know it’s only going to make the world angry, so Lord, we ought to be prepared for it. We thank You that You are strength, that that Cloud protected them in the heat and that Fire gave them warmth when it’s cold. The flinty Rock, not the little soft rock, little spring the flinty Rock brought forth the Water of Life, in Christ was that Rock, and It followed them. He was above them, He was before them. He was in the prophet following. Same Pillar of Fire leading us to the Millennium. These things are factual. Help us to receive everything else with it that’s factual. That we not be carried away Lord, simply with Thy greatness and miss Your Wisdom can miss all the essentiality of Yourself which You are willing to give us today. May we understand and know what the Spiritual depth, which is fired by the true love, respect, adoration and admission to Yourself giving you the preeminence in all things, knowing You who work all things after the counsel of Your Own will working us the same in bringing us to perfection. Seeing us in that great City with the Lamb, we see this Lord, it is true. Now we pray You’ll impress it upon us, and whatever we need this morning, we pray You’ll help us to receive Lord, which is throwing it all back on You, because that’s the way it’s going to have to be this morning Lord, and I’m just not worried about it. I’m trusting You as the people are, because You’ve given us of Your grace, and sharing Your glory. This we know to be true, because one cannot be without the other, for this is Malachi, this is 2 Thessalonians, this is the end-time standing at the door knocking. This is You bringing Your Bride in having beheld You; shutting the door, taking us to the Tree of Life, having raised the dead, summoning to the Wedding Supper, to the Incarnation. What a marvelous thing we know this is true, because it is true, it’s been vindicated; as that man said so clearly, even better than we have said it. There’s no doubt this is It. That’s It! God spoken the vindication, substantiates the Word. Let’s go to the Word. Bless Your people this morning Lord, I know You are, and You will and You shall continue, because You are that sweet Spirit of Christ that is here. We honor and recognize You Lord, not as we should, but you’ll help us do it. And the continuation of sanctification and growth which lies within Yourself that you have placed in us, come up now to a Headship spiritually then into a physical and beyond and beyond, to the very Presence of God, the Pillar of Fire over the Lamb on the Throne and we there and Your glory. Lord, I know at this point it’s beyond us, because we haven’t been fitted to it. We been fitted to a body commensurate, that the Holy Spirit can take control and bring a subject to the Word. But what a day when the temporary is gone, and we’re spiritual bodies as it were, not without flesh, but flesh glorified, and progressing. Father, help us to see that, that we’re going on and on and on. Just like Bro. Branham use to tell us of the dear lady who said, “Well I certainly am not what I want to be, and I’m not what I’m going to be, but thank God, I sure am not what I used to be.” I’m going on Lord, help Your people. Thank You now in Jesus’ Name. Amen. You may be seated. 1. Well, I’m going to stagger through my notes, and if you hold on to your chairs you can sort of stagger with me. But before I get into a little message, I want to talk to you about Daniel’s Seventieth Week which troubles people, and I may not rid you of your doubts, I am not God, I’m not the Holy Spirit to convict you, but I will tell you what I see as I read from Dan 9:20-27. Where in when Bro. Branham spoke on the Seventieth Weeks of Daniel, Bro. Junior Jackson I believe it was that said,“Bro. Branham would you come and hear me preach it.” I’m sure it was Junior, it might of been Bro. Ruddle, but anyway, one of the brethren. I know them. Some, so that person preached the sermon after Bro. Branham, and Bro. Branham said, “You misunderstood me, or I sure did not tell you right. There are not seven years left, there are only three and a half.” 2. This now puts you in the position of wondering concerning the Scripture what is really right. Just for the…what you might call the curiosity, a sort of oblique and taainted interest, I looked up the Lamsa from the Aramaic and I got nothing but utter confusion. So I said, “What is utter confusion in the light of a prophet with “Thus Saith the Lord” Forget it. So I went back to my King James Version which I’m going to read you from Dan 9:20-27. (20) And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin(s) and the sin(s) of my people Israel, (which is in the Word of God, the priests will go between the porch and the altar confessing his sins and the sins of the people.) You ever stop to think that you got a job to confess people’s sins for them? “Well,” Bro. Vayle, “I can just take care of myself.” “Honey, I appreciate that, it’s lovely, but you’re meant to take care of somebody else too. You know I’m going to go through those pearly gates with twelve miles on each side just a wealthing(?) in. You better figure I’m going to be there” Yeah, you’re not supposed to make this alone. Jesus made the journey to Emmaus and He didn’t make it alone, He drew over to those people you know. He said, “Hey, these are My kind. Now they don’t know too much, but I’m going to enlighten them.” So Daniel’s a true servant of God, so he goes in first of all he confesses his own sins, “Oh God,” he says, “I’m rotten. When I look around all I see is rotten, but You’re God, I’m going to look to You.” Hey, this fellow’s got something on the ball.” You listen. (20) …confessing my sin and the sin(s) of my people Israel… Hey, I was talking about that this morning. My brothers, my sisters, I want to take a good look at you. I want to see if I like what I see. I don’t think I see too much I like. There’s a mirror here I’d see something I’d like a whole lot less. So, we look in the Word and we see everybody a child of Jesus. I like this guy. You can see he’s caliber. 3. You know what Bro. Branham said? He talked about the Bride, and he was talking to…hey, there must of been foolish virgins there piled like cord wood that was going to run a steamer straight down the Mississippi river. And he smiled and he said, “Tommy, by grace I count myself with you.” And I said, “Boy that’s just not grace, that’s a lie.” Ha, ha, ha. No! He told the truth. “The foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them which are His” [2Tim 2:19] Elijah goes down the road and finds some poor little old pooped out widow woman, her stomach’s caving in, she’s only got a little bit of wood to make a little bit of mush for her and the boy and she’s going to die. Boy, did he pick a character to come and get some help from. God say’s, “That’s the one that’s going to sustain you.” “Oh,” he said, “Do tell, she looks so beautiful.” You know what I’m talking about? We need that. We need to let the spirit of suspect go to the spirit of a confirmation. And he said, “I prayed for my sins, because Lord, I looked in the mirror and I look ugly. And I looked at these people and I know that they aren’t doing too well.” (20) …(he) presented my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; A holy people in a holy convocation, leaving your sins outside the door forever unto the Blood of Jesus Christ. (21) …while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. (22) And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. “Hey, I’m going to give thee ability and to know what to do with it. You’re just the man I’m looking for, and God’s going to endow you so that you’ve got what it takes and you’ll do it.” 4. Bro. Branham had the same thing, and they said, “Give the ball Bill, give me the ball. Get out of my way. I can do that. I’ll show you how to get across, step aside boy.” Yeah, he had a manager with him, he took him over to Europe. I won’t tell you his name. I told you before, if you can’t remember that, good. When they got to Egypt he was so drunk drinking free cocktails…ha, he got off the plane goose-stepping, everybody laughing and thought it was great. When he got to India they said to Bro. Branham, “Is it okay for the father to have women?” I read about Daniel, he didn’t have any trouble, Daniel, he was in the lion’s den and everything was so good. He had everybody around him, so nice, he had it so smooth. Ha! Horse feathers, hogwash. 5. There’s a man that stood alone. …?...was counted for his people. They sing this song, “Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone,” and don’t even know what they’re saying. It means: ‘just stand outside the crowd and you know sort of look them over’. It means: ‘to get in there, work amongst them and be a Daniel;’ a leader that shows them love and sympathy, humility and service. For the greatest of all, is a servant to all. There was a Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve. Daniel’s a good old brother, I love him. I’m no relation to him, except spiritually. So don’t get confused. I’m not talking about Lee Vayle, I’d be talking about William Branham and Daniel. To come forth now to give thee understanding. I’m come forth to let My spirit of wisdom and knowledge and revelation of Him come upon you and prove it to the people. Right? Eph 1:17. You're going to tell me the Bible ever changes and God’s ways ever change? You going to tell me what He did once He doesn’t do over and over again? As the prophet said, “If He saved by the Blood the first time, He’s got to do it every single time.” If He did it for this man that way, and of course that means a special mix, a special man, He’s got to do it again. Can’t you see William Branham at the end-time? Now, William Branham is going to tell you about this Seventieth Week, and if I’m right I’ll help to explain it. If I’m wrong you ain’t going to get hurt. Okay? 6. All right, [Daniel 9:] (23) At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Now, here’s what it is: (24) Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, (Now it tell you right there, it's determined the people and the city, and the transgression will be finished.) …to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal up the vision and prophecy, (Notice that’s in there too.) and to anoint the most Holy. Now, I won’t go into that. Bro. Branham mentions the temple the most Holy and things like that, I won’t touch it. But I want to get to you why there’s three and a half weeks and what the middle is. (25) Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: (and) the (wall) shall be built again, and…even in troublous times. (26) And after threescore and two weeks (the) Messiah (should) be cut off. (Now notice. There’s going to be seven weeks and threescore, that makes sixty nine, and after that Messiah is cut off and there are seven altogether. Seventy.) but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with the flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (27) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. 7. Now, he’s bringing us right up to the present time, and you know that after the Second World War there’s has not been one time of peace. Everybody’s embroiled in something. Something is going on; there has been no peace whatsoever. And you will notice at this time according 2 Thessalonians the 2nd chapter, two spirits have been revealed. The Spirit of God that heads up the Church having come down, right there, over Bro. Branham, in a Flame in the Pillar of Fire, and the spirit of antichrist that followed. And it is not called the spirit of antichrist that is called, ‘The days of the Son of Man’. Now remember, in Thessalonians It says, “The son of perdition”. Now who is the son of perdition? The son of perdition was Judas. So therefore, now you have a spirit of Judas upon the people that are false, and Spirit of God upon the truth; and William Branham was the true vine, and as soon as he came on the scene Judas came on the scene, the son of perdition, and these men were correctly anointed by the Holy Ghost to do signs and wonders, and miracles, but off the Word to fool the people. Then there comes a time when the son of perdition is fully manifested in human flesh, and then he’s destroyed by the Presence of Almighty God. But there are two presences. There are the presences of spirit which takes over men: Number one, Bro. Branham, then the false prophets, then the false teachers, then will come the real Christ positively upon earth, Who comes back here with us, and He will be a man Incarnate, and at that time He will destroy the incarnate one who was already manifested under the Spirit of the Son of Man. You understand what I’m saying? If you don’t just get the tapes, you’ve been neglecting something. See? So now, he’s bringing us right up to the time. Okay. 8. Now, I’m going to read my notes if I can read: A: Seventy weeks constitutes the whole prophetic history until the Millennium, even though Daniel saw beyond that to the White Throne. And William Branham categorically said in Malachi 4: [1] “Where leaving neither root nor branch,” he said then, “How can you say there is an eternal hell?” William Branham in two places said, “We’re standing before the White Throne.” Now, I want to tell you something, you say, “Well, Bro. Vayle that just isn’t so.” I’m going to tell you something, you are not spiritual. I am sorry for you. I love you. But you are not spiritual, you are yet carnal, because you will not let your thinking go, and you know better than a prophet. Then why don’t you do what the prophet did? You can’t even stand beside me for fifteen minutes. I challenged our church many a time, “I’ll give you twelve hours against my fifteen minutes.” And it’s a bluff, because nobody can stand twelve hours. I’d fall asleep and they’d fall asleep and the rest of the folks are going and say, “blooey.” When they got through with their twelve hours, I’d say, “Five minutes it'll be all over.” You say, “You’re boasting.” No, I’m not, now because we are before the White Throne. We are! Where do you think you’re going? You follow what I’m saying? Now here: 9. B: A week in Scripture is seven years, a year per day, thus there are four hundred and ninety years of prophetic history. And it is the prophetic history deal positively with the Roman Empire, which was the wound of the beast that got healed under the Papal Empire, or the holy Roman Empire, which exists today where they’ve got the gold and the Jews got the paper; so there’s a conflict. Why do you think that the Catholics hate the Jews? They're nice people. There’s a conservative bunch that are beautiful, wonderful people. Then there’s the Wall Street kike you don’t give a nickel for. I’m just talking what Bro. Branham said. There they count, there’s something going on. Golda Meier had no business going to see the pope, and when she got finished she was spitting tacks. And the pope has reiterated, “Jerusalem is going to be a central city for all religions bless God, and we are going to take control.” We are living at the end of the years; we’re living at the end of the Seventieth Week, we’re waiting for the Millennium it come in and a temple worship. We’re waiting for the further sanctification. We’re waiting for the whole thing to melt together, where’s there’s neither Greek nor Jew, nor Gentile, there’s children of Almighty God under sanctification growing up past the White Throne to the New Jerusalem. This is Scripture I’m talking to you about. Bro. Branham placed It. 10. Let’s go further, number three: [C:] This period of time is divided into three parts, [1] seven weeks. Well seven times seven is forty nine. [2] Sixty two weeks, what’s that about, Four thirty four? Who knows, I can’t… yeah, Four thirty four. [3] One week. Okay. 11. Let’s read Dan 9:25-27 again. (25) Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment (Now that was given under the two great men, Ezra and Nehemiah.) to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks and threescore and two weeks: (So there’s sixty nine weeks.) (And) the street shall be built again, and the wall even in troublous times. And boy did they have a trouble time. The Bible distinctly said, “They held a spear in one hand and a sword, and a mortar, rocks and a trowel in the other.” They said, “Just let boots come near the wall we’ll get them.” Hey, I like that tough bunch of babies. They didn’t let the bars down for the goats to come in. Why they said to those priests that been married foreign women, and that’s with an illegitimate child was when a man took a foreign women, not an Israelite. I think that’s exactly why God said to David, (He said,) when he took Bathsheba the wife of Uriah, and yet I think according to Scripture that Uriah was a proselyte; and he could of have had a right to this Israelite-tish woman. And so when David took her and had a child by her and the child had to die, and Nathan came and laid the blame on David, and here’s what he said to David, God said to him, “Have I ever with held anything from you?” If he’d of wanted that woman, listen to me, I believe God would of destroyed Uriah and David could have had her. But David took things in his own hand. 12. For God sake young people, don’t take things in your hand, ask God if that’s the girl for you. Have at least enough stupid common sense as I had. I said, “God, I’m the marrying kind, give me the right wife or I’ll mess up.” Hey man, I found out years later He gave me something better that I ever dreamed of. I was still looking at the new…you know, the pretty blond floozies you know, tippy, tippy toe, and the uppy, uppy up, and she looks cutie cute; why my wife looks best. If I’d of married one of those gals…whoooo! My God have pity. I know old age makes your eyesight bad, so everybody looks prettier. So she’s prettier than ever. I’m prettier than ever. [laughter] Oh life is good. Don’t get mixed up, thinking you’re some David. You’re stupid! I mean it. I know people think I'm tough of kids, but people in my church know I love little kids and they love me. Not just that I give them quarters, because I stopped giving them quarters. [laughter] My hands are too bad, I just can’t do the things, pick them up, my back hurts at times. I would pick every kid up give them a horseback ride, give them everything I had. They know I love them. I’m nasty but hey, anybody’s nasty, but still love you. 13. Anyway, this man David, he did wrong in this particular respect. So we were reading, 25-27. Now he said here: (26) …after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary… That’s exactly what Rome did in 70AD, the battle of Masada. Morris Cerullo went over there, took all kinds of films, made himself a great name. And he was very smart, he could come back and pass the pocket book, and ho ho ho boy, what a fill up after that. Hey, hey, if you want a real trick, let me tell you how to do it boys, I can’t do it, I’m too old; might give me arthritis. But you go over there where the tomb of Christ is and you tell the folk I’m going over and for a hundred dollars I’ll pray for you when I get in the tomb. And when you come back you say, “I made a mistake, it should have been two hundred, and I really prayed three hundred worth.” Listen, you think I’m teasing you. Did you know when I laughed and made you laugh, I was telling you the truth? Do you know I got letters like that? (Don’t look so sour Brad, you didn’t get them I did.) I’m going to pray in the tomb can you send me fifty bucks? I’ll send you a hundred and fifty if you stay there. [lots of laughter] I’m not lying to you guys, come on. God can be bought for nothing. Sold for billions, but one day He said, “I want My interest,” and He’s an interesting God. You don’t pay your tithes; you owe Him twenty percent when you do. I’m not asking for money, I’m just telling you, “Hey, you don’t fool with God.” What makes you think we can fool with God? I’m sorry folks we are not reverent enough, and you notice I do. (27) (He’s going to) confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the (overpowering) of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the (desolation.) (I read it, okay.) 14. Now: D: Now, here is where the average reader goes astray. It is in verse 25, wherein they count forty nine years, seven times seven. Then sixty two times seven, four hundred and thirty four, but they do not add the seventieth week at that time. Now you know that’s the truth, come on, you’re fundamentalists. How many ever read your Bibles? Thank you. Don’t worry about it. Put your hands up…how many ever read Daniel? Now the next question put your hands up. How many really got puzzled when Bro. Branham said, “No, there’s only three and a half years left, and it’s in the midst of those three and a half years,” and everybody calls it, ‘the midst of the week’ which is seven years and you’re still buffaloed? Let me see? Got a bunch of liars here haven’t I? [laughter] Yeah, I’m going to talk to you. I know you’re embarrassed to raise your hands, I’m the same way. I don’t like raising my hands for nothing. I’m chicken. I pretend I’m an eagle, but I’m a chicken. 15. All right. Certainly that’s exactly where Junior made his mistake, or Bro. Ruddle. Bro. Branham said, “No, no, no, there are not seven years, there are three and a half.” And they say, “Bro. Branham, what does it mean then, the midst of the week?” He said, “In the middle of the three and a half years.” Oh boy, I thought I got the soup a little thickened when I poured the first bit of Arrowroot in, but when Bro. Branham poured his potato starch in, I got a plate of mush. But you know, thank God people took it. I like that. Don’t question. Vindicated prophet. Right. If he said, “Black’s green, green’s black,” so on. You say, "That's being foolish, is it?" My Bible says, “The wisdom of man is foolish to God, the wisdom of God is foolish to man.” So, let’s be fools for Christ. Like the guy going down the street, Bro. Branham commended, he said, “I was in California, and I saw these kids going down the street, the front side said, ‘I’m a fool for Christ.’ And on the back was it said, ‘who’s fool are you’?” 16. All right. But they did not add the seventieth; rather they came up to the Messiah week, or the Messianic week, or seven years and displaced it. They put it at the end of this world's government, and made seven complete years to go, and they don’t know where to start the seventieth week. But the know it will start, and they know it’s going to be seven years, and they know there’s going to be fussing and fuming for three and a half, and then the antichrist is going to put the steel trap on them, and that said, and the Bride’s gone. That is not it. There’s only three and a half years. However, if you notice verse 24, you will see the word reconciliation for iniquity, which means ‘atonement’, is in the full seventy weeks. So the seventieth week had to be there with Christ, because He is our Atonement. You follow me? That’s true. So they must of stuck it in the sixty ninth, or they had their own revelation and said, “Well, there’s that…this is all true, but you understand, there’s sixty nine and there’s one, and in-between which is indeterminate, the little things that God Himself can do and sort of, kind of, tease us all along. He did it when Jesus died.” That is a lie from the pit of hell. Because that is not what the Bible said. The Bible said seventy weeks are determined to do it. So don’t you add one more day. Do you follow me? The fundamentalists are wrong. A vindicated prophet is right. 17. All right, since only Christ can atone, it means that according to verse 25, the Christ appears in the sixty two week period, which is definitely the sixty ninth, because it says in 26 after, after that sixty two week period Messiah is cut off, which means it’s got to be in the seventieth. Right? Hey, if I tear pages…915 to 922 out of my Bible, don't you tell me I’m not looking at page 923, because you’re nuts. Right. You’re wrong, you blew it. You know more than God. He said, “It was after that.” And in the midst of the seventieth the cut off. So seventy follows sixty nine period! I don’t care what the fundamentalist said. You get your wires straight this morning. And I don’t care what you think the Bible says. Right? Right? Of course not, you don’t believe that. “Bless God Bro. Vayle, I can read.” I want to tell you one thing, there’s a few people here that’s got a better vocabulary than I have, but not very many. I’ll give you twenty minutes up here to prove it. In other words, I’m just challenged, you ain’t as smart as you think you are. 18. Peter is the smartest chemist around for miles. I’ve asked him questions he couldn’t answer, but I’m right, because I’ve read it. Came out in the paper the other day they’re injecting female swine ovaries with human cells. The government will not let you take pictures of them. It’s hidden. One fellow got to see and all those little humanoids they got arthritis, they can’t walk. You know why? The poor rascals are humanified. My God don’t wish that on a pig. They’re trying to get human spare parts. Peter says, “They’re doing it.” Now he’s the guy that knows what’s in the labratory. He’s with Eli Lilly [global pharmaceutical company] one of the bigger shop. Not the big shot. What you got, three hundred men under you? [“Not right now.”] Oh, what did you have…? [“Hundred”] Hundred. He had a whole bunch before. Peter ain’t no fool, you ought to talk to him about his uncle. Now, he’s not his uncle. What’s your uncle… twenty eight states, got licenses’ as a doctor. ["All the States."] Every state in the Union his uncle is qualified! Now, he’s nicer and smarter than his uncle. If you think our church doesn’t have smart people in it, you are completely wrong. I don’t believe there’s a church in the world has the brains that our Church has, and any church any stupider. [laughter] I’m saying this on purpose to let you know, don’t you let your brains get in the way of the Word of God, because I’ve seen it happen. And I’m not finished, I’m maybe able to say this and let you go home, because I love you. Twenty more pages of notes on love can you take it? You’re sweet Peter, but you’ve got stamina like a herd of buffalo, and I don’t have it. Your father in law is getting old like me. 20. All right, I’m going to keep reading. So they now…they put this at the end of the world’s government. However, as I said, if you noticed 24, [Daniel 9:] the words reconciliation, iniquity, which means, ‘atonement’ is in the full seventy weeks, it is not in a little mid period. Since only Christ can atone, it means that according to verse 25, that Christ appears, He has to come in the sixty ninth week to be cutoff in the middle of the seventh week on account of His age. Because it says, “After sixty two week period, Messiah is cutoff,” which means that is during the seventieth week. Now, Bro. Branham correctly said, and here’s the revelation: “Christ’s prophetic ministry was three and a half years.” Why did he say prophetic? Because He is the Prophet! “Oh Bro. Vayle, He’s the Messiah. Ah, I love…” [said sarcastically] I shouldn’t have…You know, hey listen, I’m so cotton-picking sarcastic I can’t help myself. I just love to rub it in, and that ain’t nice so you pray for me. Say, “Please Lord make Bro. Vayle sweet, because he can be sweet, because he eats so much candy it’s got to show somewhere.” Just had fruit for breakfast. …?... not been nice, okay by then, you pray I’m nice. All right. Can’t help it, I’m going to hit you. 21. After the sixty seventh week period, Messiah is cutoff, which means, during the seventieth, Christ’s prophetic ministry. This is called the ‘Prophetic Ministry’. This is called by that man who is vindicated, and that is the Pillar of Fire, and if you do not believe that’s the Pillar of Fire, you are excused, but if you believe that’s the Pillar of Fire, I am telling you the truth, and if you sit there with unbelief your goose is cooked. So you don’t believe. Now we showed you Friday night, nobody believes as they ought to believe. Why do you think Bro. Branham wept when he left the scene that his name would be pulled down in a cult? The people carried away with tidily-wink, de-wink, de-wink. They couldn’t even be serious. Hey, I know what I’m talking about. I’m that way, and yet some of you guys got enough VCR’s for you and your kids, you should be ashamed of yourselves. We need a cleaning up, come on don’t just amen, let’s get it done. Bro. Branham mentioned, “We’re not fit to be called Bride.” 22. Now Bro. Branham categorically called this, “The three and a half years of Christ’s prophetic ministry,” because he was the prophet. The Word of God absolutely says over there in Deuteronomy chapter 18, “A prophet, a prophet, a prophet, a prophet, A PROPHET, shall God raise up from amongst your brethren like unto Me.” Did He? Then what are we looking for? Prophet! “Oh Bro. Vayle I don’t think they were, because you can tell they weren’t?” [said sarcastically] That’s the whole thing; “He came according to the Scripture, but not according to their revelation of It.” Quoting William Branham. I could myself, what good quoting myself? I could quote myself day and night. I could become a quote. Look at a mirror, "every day and every way, you’re looking better and better." And my wife said, “Hey boy, you look punk.” “Mirror, mirror on the wall…” “Shut up.” I’m talking to my wife, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, I look better and better don’t I?” “That’s right.” Oh, you’re crazier than I am. [some chuckling] See what I mean? That’s their attitude. It sounds crazy, it sounds like I’m just making you laugh, but this is the truth. 23. I lived around Bro. Branham. I never knew such sobriety and reverence, and the greatest part of love is respect; husband if you respect your wife, you’ll treat her like a queen. Woman if you respect your husband he’ll be your king. He can’t live without you, you can’t live without him, because they’re one. How would you like me to run you through a buzz-saw, just right down through here? [Bro. Vayle demonstrates where] That’s what divorce does. That’s what wrong marriage does. When I see our young people, and I see their adoration toward each other; and I see young people and I think, my God if they could be in the ministry, and I know they can’t, because they’re not built that way, they love their wives, and their wives reverencing in their families they couldn’t go on the road like I did. And I love my wife, but I had to do it …?... And I say, “Son I love you, but I couldn’t have you around me for a million dollars.” But you’ve got to pay a price. I know what I’m talking about. Bro. Branham went through it, most everybody does if they’re in the ministry. If you think you’re called, you better make sure it wasn’t some little bird on your shoulder quacking as a duck. We’ll get to talking about the truth don’t worry. 24. All right, listen, Christ’s prophetic ministry, everybody says, “Messiah, Messiah, Messiah, atonement, atonement, atonement.” That’s what It says here, but He’s a Prophet. And in the prophetic ministry, He does this. Why? Because GOD is in the Prophet. Right? Right? Right? And who’s going to die? Prophet. Well come on, and God’s His Own Prophet, and God was in Christ; in the middle of the week. So the seventieth week is half over, and the second half is at the end time when antichrist comes. So Christ and antichrist share the seventieth week. The question arises, how can it be in the midst of the week, which week is supposed to be seven years, and yet the prophet says, “Only three and a half remain?” Now see that’s where we’re stuck. Right? 25. Let’s find out. Number one: Be reading as I have read It was revealed by vindication to the prophet only three and a half years remain, it is in the midst of the three and a half years that the covenant is broken, that is “Thus Saith the Lord.” Now, do you realize that’s a stinger. Here the Bible says, “I got a cake. That cake is seven inches wide. And the prophet says, “I’ve got news for you. Somebody came along and ate one half the cake.” “Hey, just a minute, somebody ate one half my cake. I’ll tell you something, I ain’t paying for it.” You say, “Bro. Vayle what’s the comparison?” I just told you. You don’t believe that half the cake is eaten. You won’t take it, you won’t accept it. It’s your thinking. Well you’re thinking wrong, because you’re not thinking according the Bible. And I’m not that smart that I could either. But you see brother/sister, you have got to believe and then you receive. Pentecostal sing, “If you believe you will receive. If you believe you will receive. If you believe you will receive. Here’s the money,. Healing, healing, healing.” Prophet of God vindicated, “If you believe you will receive.” (Two and a half years.) Huh! It’s money, money, money, …?... Here’s this guy I read about on Friday, he knew what a miracle was all about. He understood prophecy, what it’s based on. Pentecostals understand nothing. Bro. Branham said, “This age is insane.” For how are you going to lose your insanity? Through the divine miracle working [blank spot on tape] of the Word. And a prophet takes the Word and explains It. I know you still love me, so I don’t have to ask you, you do, because that’s beside the point. Whether you love me not it’s not anything to do with it. 26. Number two: I will answer by the historians and archeologists. Who are vindicated not only by history, but by Bro. Branham, who said, “Thus Saith the Lord, you’re eighty four.” Get your Bibles; I want you to read it. In case you think fast talking Lee Vayle is going to pull one over your pretty little eyes balls, that is not my purpose. We will go over to the 12th chapter of Matthew; I hope I’m hoping correctly. We’ll now read in verses 38, and you will hear this: (38) Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. (39 (And) he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sig be given it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: Now, before we read any further, before Almighty God I do not ask you to raise your hands and sweat; but I ask you to raise your hands and pray to God to help you believe what Bro. Branham said about this. Shall we do it? Get your hands up, or leave the building, because I don’t need your unbelief. Everybody, the best of your ability, we’ll ask God to help you believe what the prophet said. All right, put your hands down. (40) For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly: so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 27. Now, that’s what He said about Jonah. That’s what the Bible said. I will now ask anybody in this building, and please do not be embarrassed. Please, I’m not here to embarrass you. It’s fun doing it. [laughter] Now, you know I’ve got to relax you. Some preachers, somebody tell me what Bro. Branham said this meant? Because the fundamentals says, “He had to die on Wednesday, to be Thursday to be Friday to Saturday, to get up Sunday morning.” Bro. Branham categorically said that, “He was crucified on Friday.” So Bro. Branham was an idiot. What did Bro. Branham say that this meant by divine revelation? Roger tell me, Jack tell me, Terry tell me, anybody tell me? Norman, [he says, “Any part of a day, is considered as a full day.”] No he didn’t, but you’re pretty close, but you’re right. He said, “It means, ‘within’.” What are you guys embarrassed about? That you’re too Pentecostal. Within three days. Now study the archeologists, and they will tell you any part of a day constitutes a day, as any part of an hour means an hour; as any part of a year means a year; as any part of a month means a month. 28. So, if there’s so called three and a half years, that you think that you know anything about, let me assure you by divine revelation, and archeological proof, three and a half years is considered a year, seven years rather, or complete week. Now see, you got to have God to help you, because I’m telling you the truth. You don’t believe it. Or do you? Now, if you think I’m pulling a deal on you, you get this flat, I am not pulling a deal on you, because I have read the books, and you haven’t. And I can show you where no Archeologist will give anybody credit for what Christians say, because they know better; and you’re still bum fusseled. “How can it be, how can it be.” Well it is! Why don’t you bust a few atoms? Sounds stupid …?... Don’t believe. 29. Bro. Branham said, “In the midst of the week,” and it is still a week, because it is a part. And I challenge you to get the archeological magazine, and any archeological person you want and you will find that is exactly how they reckon things, and that’s why the Chinese even reckon your birth date. You are not zero years old; when you are born you are one year old. “But white guys you’re so smart.” “Bless God we change numbers any time we want, because we got brains. And we have brains; we can do what we want.” [Bro. Valye voices someone with a speech problem] You say, “Why are you talking that way.” Because Jimmy Rae said, [using the same voice] “I may have a cleft palate, but I’m the best salesman there is, because to understand me, you’ve got to listen real hard and that’s …?...” [laughter] Jesus said, “I tell you the truth and you believe not.” William Branham told us the truth and we don’t believe. We still hear saying, “Well, three days and three nights. Well he got crucified Wednesday afternoon, three o’clock, that goes, Friday, that goes Saturday, bless God, hallelujah, Sunday morning He’s up there.(?)” 30. Hey, you haven’t got guts have you? Come on. Come on. Get up here and say, “Hogwash.” You didn’t think I had guts did you? You don't know Lee Vayle, I can be mean as a serpent. No! I’m as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove. This One, this One, came into him and spoke and he said, “It means within three days.” Daniel’s seventy weeks. “Aw, Bro. Vayle, that’s too hard to believe.” So believe it anyway. I make the best cheese cake in the country. Believe it anyway. You know I don’t. [laughter] Bill Smith’s got a gal in his church; she can make cheese cake like Lindy's never thought of. But she’s never tasted my orange cheese cake, or my mince meat. You’ve been tasting fundamental hogwash cheese cake, for so long, you don’t know what cheese cake is. The pulpit is not a place to tell a joke. But I’m going to illustrate with the fundamental person is along side of a true believer. 31. There was this school teacher, she had little Willy come to class every single day and his mother never gave him a bath. And Willy began to aromate, there was a certain specific body odor about him that was a little bit disenchanting. So one day she wrote a letter to Willy’s mother and she said, “Dear madam, I hate to bring this up, but Willy needs a bath.” Well, his mother was a genteel little Kentucky hillbilly gal, and so she couldn’t answer that letter, because this teacher was just out of her gourd that she should be so impolite and so ignorant even though she’s the teacher. About the middle of the week another letter comes, “Dear madam, you haven’t complied, Willy needs a bath terribly, because the whole building is full of unacceptable aroma. A little water would help.” So she said, “I’ll just ignore it, because there are some people that really are ignorant. She’s not a lady, so I can’t answer her.” The next week the letter came again and said, “Dear madam, I must implore you and beseech you to listen to me. This is absolutely untenable, Willy must have a bath.” Well that got her. That got her. And the pulpit is no place to joke, but that got her. So she took up her pen and she wrote, “Dear madam, Willy does not stink, he smells just like his dad. The only trouble with you old maid school teachers is you don’t know what a good man should smell like.” [laughter] 32. That’s exactly what you fundamentalists sit this morning; you don’t know what a good man smells like. You don’t know the Scripture when it comes across to you, if you’re sitting in your seats in unbelief. You cannot the Rose of Sharon fragrance that came by revelation, from the manure above it, fundamentalism. You still got your stinking robes on you when you could wash your robes and what came out of the Seals. I’m hard on you, but I got to be hard on myself. I’ve been taught this tripe all my life. If I have any ministry it’s one thing, God’s given me a gift to give keys to the unfolding of Scripture. ‘Alpha and Omega’, ‘The Parallel of the Scripture’. All these things that means so much to people, and I’m telling you, you know, I don’t read books. I don’t have to read them. They’re in my hands, I’ve got a gift, because God made me lazy. I don’t have energy. I’m a typical sinner. I am just alive enough to get into all kinds of mischief like the farmer’s pig, and not enough strength to keep out of it. So are you. But I’m extra. But God is good with the gift He's allowed me to pick up certain things. And you know what I found? The prophet never makes a mistake. 33. Let me tell you what the prophet said about the Tribulation, he knew what the oath of the Knights of Columbus was. They rip you open and pour in brimstone and fire, and God knows what. And he said, “I would sooner have that perpetrated upon me, than five minutes in the great Tribulation.” See, people cannot smell the Word, they’re so full of the stench of humanity, and it smells good. Hey look, if you don’t like aotearoa roses, because you’ve been cleaning out a barn, Atlas's barn for years, don’t blame the aotearoa roses. Clean your nose out. Learn what a breath of fresh air is. Learn what the prophet said. He said, “Within three days.” Christ was crucified on Friday, that’s a part of it. Saturday’s a part of it. Sunday’s a part of it; within three days. And that he never knew one thing about archeology. Let me assure you, I knew William Branham…before God I know that I’m right and it’s the White Throne. As right as I could know William Branham knew for nothing about this. And I’ve seen him time after time make a hundred percent pertinent presentation. Hey, can God make a mistake? You know what that is? [points to the Pillar of Fire picture] That’s Shekinah Glory, and not even God. You won’t find the word ‘Shekinah’ in the Bible. It’s an expression of the Jews, which means ‘the glory which is attendant upon the personal Presence of God’. He is Present, if That’s present, God is Present. 34. That old Bro. Vernon Moore went down there to his wedding, he didn’t come to church he missed the boat. He might as well of come to church, instead of a stupid wedding…well, I’ll offer to take that back whatever it was. The preacher down there that Brian knew went to preach for him, he said, “Oh I believe in the Presence, I believe in the Presence.” He didn’t believe in our Presence. So he got talking and he said, “Well, that parousia’s a false doctrine.” He said, “By the way, do you know what the word means?” He said, “No.” You talk about manure smellers, puke eaters. Another connoisseur of cheese cake. Ho, brother, you’re like the old Jewish lady that…she’s sick in the hospital and her son had made a lot of money, so he thought, “well I’m going to be nice to mom.” So he bought her this beluga something type of caviar. What is that caviar that starts with B? Hey, we’ve got no connoisseur’s here? I don’t like the stuff myself. Anyway he brought her this very expensive caviar, the dark edge you know, and later on he came… “Mama how did you like that caviar?” “Oh,” she said, “Son, the black currant jam was good except it tasted like fish.” [laughter] Hi, fundamental fish eaters. You know, they don’t believe what the prophet says. They don’t take his language. Like I told you, Bro. Branham said, “Eve caused the Interruption.” And I said, “Oh,” Bro. Branham, “You mean eruption.” 35. Hogwash, he meant eruption! He meant interruption. Who’s going to stop God from having His way? Oooh hey, that William Branham, he was something. You know I wish he was here today; I would cut loose with a Pentecostal shindig. I wouldn’t worry about shouting, because I didn’t have the victory, I’d of have William Branham, that’s victory enough. You say, “Why about Jesus.” Well, how did the Guy get back here? If you don’t receive whom He sends, you don’t receive Him.” The last time the Bible said, “You shall know I’m in the Father in you and Me and I in you,” and you turn down him, and you say you got there? Hey, come on. “Oh bless God, Bro. Vayle, I four credit cards and a million dollars in the bank, and I can really write those credit cards.” Next month I come by, and you’re in the jail, because you ain’t got no money in the bank. That’s what I mean. Hey, this is Shekinah Glory; God’s there. “Oh,” they said, “Hallelujah, I feel the Pillar of Fire standing up inside of me.” What’s in the Pillar of Fire? Oh, good question. God! You know, I keep telling you this, but there’s one thing that…oh it cuts me to ribbons. “Well you know Bro. Vayle, I got the Holy Ghost too. And you know Bro. Vayle, the Lord did this and the Lord did that, oh yes but …?...” And all I can do is just stop and say, “Hey bud, let’s sit down for half an hour and talk it over. Let’s compare notes, vision to vision, prophecy to prophecy, healing to healing under doctor’s noses.” Discernment. 36. Told you one day I came in her home, I didn’t know any better…you know, “fools rush in with hob-nailed boots where angels fear to tread,” so hob-nailed Vayle just ran in. He said, “Never mind the angels, I feel like a hunk.(?)” So I came in, and you see she said, “You can’t tell nothing about me.” I said, “Oh yes I can.” Well you see, she said, “Ain’t nothing wrong, perfectly healthy.” “Why,” I said, “Let’s find out.” I had more guts than you find in a slaughter house on a good day. “Sit down,” I laid hands …?... and said, “There’s nothing wrong with you except one thing, how come every time you buy a new undergarment you itch” “Oh,” she said, “That’s right.” She wasn’t sold…psttt. It was a side show. Bro. Branham wasn’t that kind of a guy. 37. God was in the prophet, and that is the truth of Daniel’s seventieth week. I don’t care if there is one year left, it is a week. But you see, there’s three and a half, and there’s a prophecy. And He went through His prophecy, now listen to me, and during His prophecy, He proved that He was the prophet. The sick were healed, the dead were raised, the multitude were fed, He stilled the storm, He did everything under high heaven. He brought Lazarus out into a resurrection, because Lazarus wasn’t only dead, he stunk. He was decaying, he had turned to liquid, his nose had fallen in. Now if you think he wasn’t dead, why don’t you go and kiss it. I’m just honest, I’m vulgar, but that’s…sometimes honesty is vulgarity. “Lazarus come forth.” And you know what happened? They were so mad at Lazarus, history tells us they tried to kill him to get the evidence out of the way. Whoa they’re the nicest people…these religious people they are scrumptious and sumptuous. They know every dirty rotten trick in the book and they’ll do it. So they said to Jesus, “We don’t like you.” “How come, what have I done? Didn’t I give you loaves and fishes? Didn’t I raise your dead? Didn’t I help you?” “Ho, ho,” they said, “Any amount of that cousin, but You open Your mouth, and we don’t like what You said.” And what He said was prophecy. So, now the Prophet becomes Messiah. They kill him. Three and a half years, three and a half to go. Now everybody’s looking for the midst of the week, and the week is still extant and it’s only got three and a half years, but it’s still the week, so in the midst of the three and a half, what Bro. Branham said is, “Archeologically, Scripturally by revelation a hundred percent.” Thank you for your time…. [tape ends] Daniel’s Seventieth Weeks - Page PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 16
