Divine Order # 2

 [Note: poor audio throughout the message]  

Bro. Lee Vayle   - April 26, 1981     

	…freedom of the Holy Spirit, and the spirit of freedom also in the
land at this time. But we know that this will not last forever, so we
should take opportunity as it comes, and we thank You for allowing us to
take the opportunity at hand to be here to study Your Word. And we pray,
Lord, that since  this is that hour that You have said by Your prophet
in 'Christ the Ministry of God Revealed', that You did three things. You
brought to our attention revelation, pre-eminence, and restoration. And
we believe, Lord, that this is the hour of pre-eminence which we are
trying to give You by our meditation upon the Word. And we pray that we
will see that at this hour, and therefore, acquit ourselves of all
things, but Your Presence in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. You may be
seated.

1.	Now, hopefully you will be able to go into Scripture to continue what
we took on Wednesday night, then reverted back to more material on the
Presence of the Lord on Friday to give you a little better
understanding.

	Now, I haven't preached this sermon for a little while, and so
therefore I'll have to watch my notes very carefully, and try to go
slowly. There's about four hours material, we'll use the material this
morning. And this evening, hoping to find a suitable place to make a
break.

2. We're going to read then in 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, as we have been
doing so much of the time. 

		(20) 	But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the
firstfruits of 					them that slept.

		(21) 	For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection 	
				of the dead.

	As Adam lead us into sin and death, Christ lead us into life, the
resurrection and righteousness.

		(22) 	For as in Adam all die, (yet) even so (that literally means, in
identical 					manner, so in Christ shall all be made alive.

		(23) 	But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they 					that are Christ's at his (Presence.)

		(24) 	Then cometh the end, (now notice, the future perfect tense) when
he 					shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, (that hasn't
happened 						yet) even the Father; when he shall have put down all
rule and all 						authority and power.

		(25) 	For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

		(26) 	The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (Now, of course
that 					would have to be in the Lake of Fire.)

		(27) 	For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all
things 					are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, (or
left out) 						which did put all things under him. (See, how could you
be under 						yourself?  See, someone would have to be doing it.)

		(28) 	And when all things shall be subdued (that is the wrong word, it
						should be 'subject') unto him, then shall the Son also be subject 
					unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.


3.	Now, I would say that the most important verse at this time is verse
27a, "For he hath put all things under his feet." But we must read the
rest of It, for Paul explains that particular passage, "For he hath put
all things under his feet," though that no one can make the mistake that
in verse 24, Jesus the man is not the One doing the putting under, but
God the Father is putting all things in Divine Order.

	Now, verse 24,

		(24) 	Then cometh the end, (the Parousia becomes the turning point)
when 					he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the
Father; 						when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and
power.

	Now, in there it would appear, because the subject is concerning Jesus,
that He would be the One who is doing it. That is per se, the One we
know to be Jesus the High Priest. Where Bro. Branham said, "God raised
up the body as a memorial." Now, you notice Bro. Branham was not a true
Oneness preacher in the sense of denomination. He was not Jesus-Only.
They've got some very farfetched ideas that that the body was dissolved,
and this and that, and the other thing happened. 

4. Well, you see, you don't have to have ideas that are foolish, if he
doesn't listen to Scripture. God raised Him up and set Him at His Own
right hand, and Jesus is a man. "As death came by man, by death came the
resurrection." [1 Cor 15:21] Who did God raise? He raised a man. He
didn't have the body dissolving and all this kind of stuff, (you know)
Jesus-Only. Then you got to wonder where the spirit went to. This is no
wonderment here. If you read the Scripture right, you don't have to be
all wrinkled up in your minds. (See?)

	So, Jesus the man is not the One putting down all things, and bringing
everything into subjection. It tells you that God is doing it. See, God
is doing it, and what you see here that everything is getting back to
original.

5.	Now, when you talk about original, you are not talking about…hey,
we're going to get way back to where God is everything, and then we'll
all sort of be in God and there'll be nothing out there. That isn't so,
because, "In the beginning was the Logos, the Logos was with God, and
the Logos was God." [Jn 1:1] And in that word 'Logos', there isn't only
the thought of the word itself, or the idea, but the manifestation of
It.

	So, when you go back to original here, we're talking about what God had
in the original blue-print of His mind. And so therefore, that is what
is going to come back. "As in Adam all died, even so in Christ all made
alive." See, that was in God, so therefore everything that was original
blue-print must finally come to the stage where original blue-prints
prevailed. (You follow me? All right, I hope you do.)

6.	Now, we can prove this is correct, the correct understanding of this
Scripture that God is placing all things under the feet of Jesus, "for
He has put all things under His feet." Now, It doesn't say He has put
all things under His Own feet, It says He, …?... is a subject, and put
all things under His feet. The object is feet and His, we got to find
out Who that is. There's two people involved here.

	Now, you got to go back to Psalms 8, to find out what was really being
said. You should always trace quotes through. 

		(1) 	O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
(Thou) 					hast set thy glory above the heavens.

		(2) 	Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength 					because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the
enemy and the 					avenger.

	Now, what's going to do it? What's going to prevail against the gates
of hell? What's going to make him overcometh? The revelation. That which
God perfected. Notice: and the word 'the ordained', He has commanded
strength, and it's got to come out of the mouths of babes. (And we'll
get to that in Matthew later.) 

		(3) 	When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
and 					the stars, which thou hast ordained;

	Notice again: "Thou hast ordained."

		(4) 	What is man, that thou art mindful of him? (even) the son of man,
						that thou visitest him?

		(5) 	For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned 					him with glory and honour.

		(6) 	Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou 					hast put all things under his feet:

	Now, the Psalmist is praising God: "O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is
thy name in all the earth!"  Then he's telling what he is doing. He hath
made this One… lower than the angels, and crowned Him with glory and
honor. You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; Thou
has put all things under His feet."

7.	Now, that cannot be said of Adam, because Adam forfeited in death and
in separation and violated the whole plan, and somebody else came along
and took over. Because It says, "In identical manner as you died in
Adam." It doesn't say you're made alive in Adam. He'll finish it. "As
you are born in the image of the earthy, you got to go to the heavenly,
for flesh and blood cannot inherit this." [1 Cor 14:49-50]

	So, the Psalmist is saying, "O Lord, You are doing something here. And
You are doing it for somebody." (You see?) And we read who that somebody
was.

		(7) 	All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

	That's the Millennium. Now, Who is King of the Millennium, and what is
He going to do? He is going to rule without ruling. The ruling is a
cohesive society implementing naturally what is perfectly right. (You
follow me? You don't? Get your head …?..., you got like this, boom,
boom, boom.) 

	Now, Bro. Branham said, "Who wants to rule over anybody?" I have said
that thing and didn't know Bro. Branham said it. Every time I find I
said something he said, I get very, very exhilarated, because he's got
to be part of the same Spirit working. (See?)

		(8) 	The fowl of the air, the fish of the sea, whatsoever passeth					
 	through the paths of seas.

		(9) 	O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! 				
	(Now, of course we know there is only one Name.)

8.	So we see here in this Book of 1 Corinthians 15: "For Thou hast put
all things under His feet," is taken from the Old Testament [Ps 8:6] 
prophetic utterance, now being fulfilled at the particular time of the
Parousia which constitutes as Armstrong said, "One little leap for man,
one giant leap for mankind." [Neil Armstrong's quote on the moon] The
Parousia is the little leap, (so to speak) of one man, although it's a
great leap. But manifested in this respect that only one person made it,
but he made it for all men. Even as Armstrong made the one leap for all
men.

	Now, who is it that is putting all things under His feet? It is God
putting all things under the feet of somebody, for when Paul explains it
when he said, "All things are put under Him," it is manifested that He
is left out which is put all things under Him. Now, Jesus can't put
Himself under Himself, or you got a wild god. If God's putting God under
Himself, why didn't He do it a long time ago? God's not stupid, we are.

 	So, you see it's God talking of the man. And this will eventually take
place, but it starts the inception, it's at the Parousia. And this is
where you get the 'turn of the corner' into the acceleration of events
that take you to the last revelation in the Word of God concerning God
and mankind, which is New Jerusalem, the Son on the Throne, and the
Pillar of Fire above the Throne, and the kings in the nations bringing
their glory in and the gates never close. But you don't know what goes
on from there. Now, that takes you to It.

9.	All right, now listen to my words carefully: that this is Jesus both
in the Millennium of the First Resurrection, and the Jesus of the Second
Resurrection, and New Jerusalem of the New Heavens and the earth cannot
be denied. Because this starts the Millennium, but goes and guarantees
the White Throne judgment. It guarantees the New Jerusalem. Jesus is
figured in all three, and God is liable and responsible to see that this
happens, that this occurs. And the One we see here concerning Him Who
under whose feet this is talking place, it is done in three particular
parts as I mentioned. Millennium, White Throne, New Jerusalem.

	Now, we might sort of see some proof of this in Hebrews chapter 1 and
chapter 2.

		(1) 	God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time 				
	past unto the fathers (in) the prophets,

		(2) 	Hath in these last days spoken unto us (in) his Son, whom he hath
						appointed heir of all things,…

	Now, if He appointed Him heir of all things, then the giver, or the
original owner must see that this one is going to be the administrator
of the entire estate.

		(3) 	Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of
his 					person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,
(now, 						now who's image is he in? God's image, not in His own.
Upholding 					all things by whose power? God's power.) when he had by
himself 						purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty
on high:

	So, somebody is going to take over the whole thing under the blessing
of the originator.

		(4) 	Being made so much better than the angels, he hath by inheritance
						obtained a more excellent name than they.

10.	 Now, here is the true heir-ship, the Name. You say, "Okay, Bro.
Vayle He's appointed heir of all things, how?" Because His Name is on
every check, and it's as good as the Father's.  But He inherited the
Name and that's what counts is the Name. (See?)

		(5) 	For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my
Son, 						this day have I begotten thee? (Never to anyone of them) And
again, 					I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

		(6) 	And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, 
					he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

	Now, that's talking about the fact of His birth, and you saw that in
the Book of Luke how the angels came.

		(7) 	And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and
his 						ministers a flame of fire. (That's a pretty good position.)

		(8) 	But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and
ever: 						a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

		(9) 	Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God,
						even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above
thy 					fellows.

	Now, notice that this One here, Who is the Son has a God. And evidently
then the spirit that is there seeking is the God of that One of Whom It
is spoken. And we find that the Holy Spirit hovered over Mary and
brought forth that One making the Spirit His Father. And you'll notice,
"Thy throne O God is forever and ever." [verse 8] Now, that's absolutely
true, because the Son takes over the Throne in the complete headship of
the Father, and there is no differences as Bro. Branham said. Because,
"Before they speak I have answered." [Isa 65:24] So there is nothing
whatsoever that Jesus could ever do, but what is of God. So therefore,
it is the Throne of God, but the manifestation lies in a man. (See?) 

11.	Now:

		(10) 	And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of
the 						earth; the heavens are the works of thine hands:

		(11) 	They shall perish; but thou remainest; they all shall wax old as
a 				 		garment;

		(12) 	And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be
changed: 					but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

		(13) 	But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right
hand, 					until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

		(14) 	Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for
them 						who shall be heirs of salvation?

	Now, we can leave out the next few verses, and start with [Hebrews 2]
5, but that's an interpolation.

		(5) 	For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to
come, 					whereof we speak.

	Now, you notice in there, that there is a subjection. And he's telling
you why the subjection is going to be valid is because of this preamble
in chapter 1 describing Who it is that has the validity to sit on that
Throne. Just like God, there's nothing in any way that the Father and
the Son differ when it comes to every single thing but the facts.
Because God is not a human body, God cannot be born.

12.	Now:

		(5) 	For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to
come… 

	All right, you can look at that, the ages to come, the human inhabited
earth, and that absolutely is the Millennium and the New Jerusalem, the
re-creation.				

		(6) 	But one in a certain place…saying, What is man, that thou art 	
				mindful of him? or the son of man that (you visit) him?

	Now, that question becomes, "Hey, who in the world is this guy anyway
that you look down upon him and you just believe these things?"  That's
not what he is saying. He's trying to evoke the response, "Who is this
One? Who is this mighty One? Give Him glory, fall down praise Him,
worship Him!" Not some stupid thing…[Bro. Vayle says things in a low
voice] That's right. You bet it's right. Unless we read this Bible
right, you'll come away with some half baked ideas that no more
glorifies God than a chicken, and they're about the silliest of all.
Eagles are different.

13.	Now listen:   

		(7) 	(You made) him a little lower than the angels; (crowned) him with
						glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

		(8) 	Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet…

	That means a ranking. And He has the highest strength of all, higher
than the heavens as the Scripture says. 

		(8)	…For in that he put all things in (ranking in) subjection under
him, 					he left nothing that is not under him. But now we see not yet
all things 					put under him.

	That's right, he said, "There's something yet to go." Who may be at the
right hand of the Father, but everybody's got a lot of way to go yet. In
other words, a potential lies there and a guarantee of a fulfillment,
but he's got to wait until a certain time and a certain measure. 

		(9) 	But we see Jesus,…

	Now, there is the qualified One fulfilling all this Scripture, there
must be One to do It, because Adam failed.

		(9) 	But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels 			
		for the suffering of death, (not the propagator Adam had it and 					
turned it down) crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace 				
of  God should taste death for every…(the word 'man' should be in 				
	italics.  And not every single man, and no way.)

		(10) 	For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all 
					things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain (he's
						talking about God and His Captain. And nobody can get to God and 	
			stay with God outside of that Captain, which is Jesus) of their
salvation 					perfect through sufferings.

		(11) 	For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all
of one:... 					(of one source, that the Bride came out of that God, the
Logos, the 						same as Jesus the man.)

	In other words, Jesus had to bow to election, rather foreknowledge,
election, predestination, glorification the way every single one of us
has to be. Now, Bro. Branham mentions Jesus and election. I think the
only man I ever heard ever make a statement like that, or ever read it,
of course I haven't heard all men nor read all men, and probably
wouldn't be interested.

14.	Now, 

		(11)	…for (this) cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

		(12) 	Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst
of 						the church will I sing praise unto thee.

	Now, that is future, was Jesus Himself. And when the whole Bride is
together at the Wedding Supper, and they come down here with the
144,000, the whole thing, it will be a song of praise even unto Mount
Zion, because God has fulfilled His Word. And there is great praise
evoked.

		(13) 	…again…Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

		(14) 	Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
						he also himself likewise took part of the same;…

	He didn't partake of our flesh, He took part of the same. Flesh and
blood, but a different kind, because He had a special egg and a special
sperm. Now:

		(13)	…that through death he might (bring to nothing) him that had
the 						power of death, that is, the devil;

		(15) 	And deliver them who through fear of death were all their
lifetime 						subject to bondage.

		(16) 	For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took
on him 					the seed of Abraham.

	Because the promise was made to Abraham, "and thy seed shall make all
the earth be blessed," and so therefore, He had to be the fulfillment of
that Word, which is a spiritual seed.

		(17) 	Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his
brethren, 					that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in
things pertaining 					to God, to make reconciliation (that word is
'propitiation') for the sins of 					the people.

15.	In other words, I see beyond the fact that simply of propitiation,
but I see when He became the High Priest He absolutely works out this
complete plan where God can absolutely work His will, and will work His
will to the ultimate where God is pervasive. Where God is completely
pervasive, and that's the order of the Church I'm talking about where
God is pervasive. And at this moment though He Appears, the
pervasiveness has not reached to the point where It will. And therefore,
people want to discount that He will be pervasive, it's very hard for me
too, they want to discount the fact that He is here. They want to
discount all the things that is in pre-eminence, because the
pervasiveness has not manifested Itself. Maybe it never will to the
point where people want it to be there. 

		(18) 	For (him) that he himself hath suffered being (tested or)
tempted, he 					is able to (help) them that are (also) tempted.

16.	Now: Immediately, I showed you there then, that this is the Jesus,
(that man who is upon earth) now He is risen to be High-Priest, and that
same One that is High-Priest has now (as I mentioned before) become
Melchisedec, and therefore all things must be brought under Him as
pertain to the Kingdom, as pertain to the Throne, because the King is
supreme.

	Now, something is going on that brings every single thing that has not
yet been brought under Him, but has been promised Him starting with the
Parousia; there is no turning back, it is going to be done. This is that
hour of expectation of Jesus Christ. You and I talk about our
expectation, what about His? "Thy will be done, Thy Kingdom come." 

	"I'm going to be in the Rapture, oh me."

	Oh, that's nice. I hope you are. But have you thought about the great
expecting 'till the enemy be made the footstool? Have you thought about
Him? Now, if you begin thinking about Him in this hour, then it's
somebody's else's hour. It's the hour of the Bride.

 	Now, how are we going to turn it back if this is your hour? How are
you going to turn it back if this generation should not pass away till
all these things be fulfilled? And this generation does not pass away,
and it'll never pass away it'll live on and on, and on, and on. And you
know what? Why? Because the Word of God lives on and on, and on, and on,
and on.

18.	All right, now immediately I want you to note something that we will
look into later when identification, (that is when we talk about it) and
that is [Hebrews] chapter 2:14-18, (we looked at it now) that is what
God is now doing for Jesus, and placing everything but Himself under
Jesus, is because Jesus brought our salvation.

		(14) 	Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
						he also himself likewise took part of the same;…(he became flesh
						and blood) that through death he might (bring to nothing) him that
						had the power of death, that is, the devil;

	In other words, every single thing that Adam threw to the wind Jesus
gathers and brings back.

		(15) 	And deliver them who through fear of death were all their
lifetime 						subject to bondage.

		(16) 	For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took
on him 					the seed of Abraham.

		(17) 	Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his 
					brethren, that he might be a merciful and high priest in things 			
		pertaining to God…

	What brethren? Those of the same seed whose source is of God. Not
everybody, He didn't say, "Suffer every man." He tastes the death for
every seed. Now,

		(17)	…that he might be a merciful and high priest in things
pertaining 						to God to make reconciliation for the sins of the
(earth) people.

		(18) 	For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able
to 						(help) them that are tempted

	In other words, the High Priest keeps us from failure.

19.	All right. Jesus is being paid back for the salvation that He
wrought. And this is why Joseph is the perfect type in the day that
Israel's sanctuary when they were down in Egypt. And we go back to
Genesis 41:38-45. [blank spot on tape]

		(38) 	And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as 		
			this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

		(39) 	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed 					
thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:

		(40) 	Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall 	
				all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than
thou.

		(41) 	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the
land 					of Egypt.

		(42) 	And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon
Joseph's 					hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a
gold chain 					about his neck;

		(43) 	And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and 
					they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over 			
		all the land of Egypt.

		(44) 	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee 			
		shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.

	Now, you know, that's not  the perfect picture of Jesus. Because our
God has left the Throne and come on down here. And Jesus when He opened
the Seals, climbed upon the Father's Throne, and He is there now showing
that He is that great High Priest, Melchidedec, and the plan to put Him
on the Throne eternally has already begun and people don't even know it.
And there's no way you can prove it. And there is no way you can know
it. You're not getting it. You're not getting it are you? What did Bro.
Branham say? "Under the Seventh Seal nobody would know." I know He's on
the Throne, the prophet said so. I know It by the Bible. The Bible says
so, He's Melchisedec. The priesthood is changing thus, it doesn't lack
one thing, it just begins to give back to Jesus what He has
accomplished. 

	All right, Joseph is on the throne, Jesus in on the Throne. The power
behind the throne was Pharaoh. Joseph wasn't really on the throne, but I
…?... The power behind the throne in Joseph's day was Pharaoh. The
power behind the Throne today at the time of Jesus and the time of us is
God Himself. And It cannot be denied. 

20.	All right, back in Psalms 8:2, It says:

		(2) 	Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast ordained
strength 					because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the
enemy and 						the avenger.

	Now, It tells you flat here, "out of the mouths of babes and
sucklings." Now, what comes out of their mouths, vomit?  No! Talk. This
is not talking about a little tiny infant vomiting up the milk. He's
just telling you here that they're able to cry, and they're able to make
known in their own little immature way that which is necessary.

	Now, what you see here then, compared to babes, the people of God are
literally infantile when compared to the wisdom of the world. Yet, God
brings the wisdom of the world to nothing by making those things that be
not, or appear  not to be where they really are. 

		(2)	…that thou (mightiest, because of) the enemy…(Now, thou has 		
			ordained strength because of the enemy.)

	In other words, these people are no match for the devil. They're no
match for his wisdom. They're no match for anything, but this is still
going to fill the enemy and the avenger whatever is here.

21.	Now, let's go back to Matthew 21:14-16.  All right, listen:

		(14)	 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he 			
		healed them.

		(15) 	And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things 
					that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, 			
		Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, (Now, they 			
	weren't just tiny babies, they were just middle of the run people.)

		(16) 	And said… Hearest thou what these say? (Now, they said, "Now, 
					why don't you make these people shut up?")  And Jesus (said) unto 	
			them,  have (you) never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings
					thou hast perfected praise?

	Now, what have they done? They gave back to God by revelation what God
had said in the Scripture. Now, that happened back in that day, it's
still in effect this hour. Bro. Branham uses this a great deal, because
this pertained to his Message. Now, you will not see what I'm saying
unless your minds have been removed when I told you, don't you ever dare
read the New Testament as though It was written for any other hour but
this hour. Now, you do at your own risk, because I'm not your pastor, do
what you want, I don't care. I'm to judge my responsibility, and I don't
want to do it. You know, you're not problem to me. I don't even want to
defend, the pastor can phone, anybody else can, you better very careful,
and just talking the Lord and various things that say, "How you doing,
how am I doing?" I don't want to have you on my back, I've got enough
trouble now. Pat my back, but not on my back.

22.	All right, you can see here then this is here what we're looking
at… Now, the further …?... on part one the Jesus of the first… the
White Throne is over there at New Jerusalem, and It starts in 1
Corinthians 15: with the Parousia, which brings about the Resurrection
of both the living and the dead. And the living resurrection is a change
to immortality, then cometh the Rapture, three and a half years at the
Wedding Supper, then cometh down to earth beginning the Millennium one
thousand years. Okay: 

		(20) 	But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the
firstfruits of 					them that slept.

	Now, he's talking about the fact of a resurrection of the first-fruit
and many more to come.

		(21) 	For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection
of 					the dead.

		(22) 	For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive.

		(23) 	But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward 						they that are Christ's at his (Presence.)

	And remember, His Presence means 'the living and the dead'.

23.	Now, we took four verses, 20-23, and then 23 which give a Divine
Order of the Headship of Jesus as the Priesthood to the Gentiles reaches
its finals days.

	All right, "But now is Christ risen from the dead." Now, that's
wonderful, that talks about Him, He is the High-Priest. And He at the
same time as High-Priest is a first-fruit of them that slept. That's why
we become priests, because He was a Priest. He's the first-fruits to it.
And a first-fruit means, 'there's a first one that did it, and many more
to follow.' How many more, depends exactly on what's in the fruit.
What's in the seed. (See?)

		(21) 	For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection
of 					the dead.

	Now, It tells you right here, the first-fruit has to be with the
Resurrection.

		(22) 	For as in Adam all die, (in identical manner, all) in
Christ…all (are 					going to) be made alive.

		(23) 	But every man in his own order:… 

	Now, he's talking about the Resurrection. He's talking about how
they're placed in the Resurrection. He's talking about everything that
pertains to a resurrection, that there is an order. And that order has
its apex, (the Capstone) in Jesus the man who was raised from the dead.
Now, so this gives us the order, of the Headship of Jesus, Priesthood,
till the Gentiles reaches its final days.

24.	Now,  in 23 you will notice there are three parts:

		(23) 	…every man in his own order:… (now that tells you there is a
						ranking, or an order. Then in the second part It tells you that
two 						other places,) Christ the firstfruits; (He's the Head One,)
afterward 						they that are Christ's at his (Parousia.)  

	Now look, for he lets you know there, there is a certain assembly which
if they are not a part of that Parousia and the First-Resurrection, they
will never ever get to It. The order from there on is the White Throne
judgment. And they can be kings and nations on the outside, but they'll
never be a part of the inside. The best they can do is bring their glory
into It. In other words, what their status is, they will bring into and
under. And we're looking at the establishment now of the Kingdom of God
on earth, which has already started with the Parousia.

	Now, this is why you can look for a big ministry. Help yourself. I'm
not interested unless God wants to do something I'll miss that Kingdom.
Because ministries will fall and there is no place for a ministry as we
know ministries now in that Kingdom to come. Who's going to be talking
in tongues and interpret them? Who's going to be prophesying and healing
the sick? Who's going to …?...  "I'm the big guy, I'm the big one,
look at me. [said in a shrilling voice] Shut up and sit down! They won't
even voices like that, they'll start up and sit down now. Then get
thrown out before you try to get in. (See?)

25.	Now, watch again: verse 22 must be recognized; and with It we go to
Genesis 1:24 to begin with. Let's look at [1 Corinthians 15:] 22.

		(22) 	For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all be made alive.

	Now, let's go back and see where Adam died. Now, I know this is sort of
redundant, but I believe in repetition, or you're never going to get it.
Now, I'll tell you, I can prove it. A lot of you folk came and told me,
"Friday nights for the first time you really got a hold of what I was
preaching." How come it took all that number of times? Simple, because
it takes me that long and longer. You think I can preach this stuff
without notes? You got to be kidding.

26. All right, Genesis 1, repetition will get you somewhere. (Just like
flattery) Genesis 1:24-31. 	 

		(24) 	And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living (creatures
you 						know the animals and stuff there) after his kind, cattle,
creeping 						thing(s), beast of the earth after his kind: it was so.

		(25) 	And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle
after 						their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth
after his kind: 					and God (said, hey, that's wonderful, that's) good.

		(26) 	And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: 
					and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, (now, if
every-						thing comes after its own kind, and God made man after His
image, 					what could be the people like? They were supposed to be
godlike.         					So therefore, they got to return to the image,)
over the fowl of the  						air, and over the cattle, over all the
earth, and over every creeping 						thing that creepeth upon the earth.

		(27) 	(And) God created man in his own image, in the image of God 				
	created he him; male and female created he them.

		(28) 	And God blessed them, and said…Be fruitful, and multiply, and 
					replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish
						of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and every living thing
that 						moveth upon the earth.

		(29) 	And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, 
					which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the
which 						is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for
meat.

		(30) 	And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air,
and to 						every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is
life, I have 					given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

		(31) 	And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was
very 					good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

 	The man has only got six, that's why he's number seven, and one go
together. But seven has to be there for completion. What goes in between
it doesn't matter, who cares? That's what the prophet said.

27.	All right, [Genesis] 2:16-20

		(16) 	And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree 					
of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

		(17) 	But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt
not 						eat of it: (that will not be in the Millennium) for in the day
that thou 					eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

		(18) 	And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be
alone; 					I will make him an help meet…

		(19) 	And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the 			
		field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to 					
see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every 					
living creature, that was the name thereof.

	Now, you noticed that Adam did all this before Eve was on the scene.
That shows you another important Headship, not of the man, but of Jesus.
And she'll not tell him anything. He will be all wisdom and all
knowledge to her, and she will simply be in that divine flow of oneness
and a unity that Jesus spoke she would have, and the Millennium will
work out beautifully. 

		(20) 	(So) Adam gave names to all cattle, and fowl of the air, and
(the) 						beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help
meet. 

28.	Genesis 3:17-19 

		(17 )	And unto Adam he said, (Behold) thou hast hearkened unto the 			
		voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded 		
		thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy 	
				sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

		(18) 	Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou
shalt 						eat the herb of the field;

		(19) 	In the sweat of (your) face shalt thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the 					ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust
thou art, and unto dust 					shalt thou return.

	[Genesis 3:] 22-24

		(22) 	…the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to
						know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take 
					also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

		(23) 	Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, 	
				to till the ground from whence he was taken.

		(24) 	So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden
						of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, 			
		to keep the way of the tree of life.

29.	Genesis 5:1-5

		(1) 	This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God 
					created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

		(2) 	Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called 			
		their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

	Now, you see, he had one name. That's why the name is revealed in the
Bride. The Name of Jesus becomes pre-eminent in this hour to the Bride. 

		(3) 	…Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in 			
		his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:

		(4) 	And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight
hundred 					years: and he begat sons and daughters:

		(5) 	And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty
years: 					and he died.

	You can see what happened. As in Adam all died. The plan of God died.
Everything died. Everything went into abeyance. But now we are at the
point where that must all be fulfilled, because that was the original
Word of God, so therefore, we go back to originality. And it is being
done with the Parousia.

30.	Now, let's go back again and see some more of this what we're
looking at in 1 Corinthians 15:35, it's time we checked ourselves out on
the Resurrection. Because here is where it’s all got to take place.
And on the earth, by the way, in the Millennium.  

		(35) 	But some will say, How are the dead raised up? and what body 			
		do they come?

		(36) 	…fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

		(37) 	And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall
						be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other
grain:

		(38) 	But God giveth it a body (to) please him, and every seed his own
						body.

		(39) 	All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men,
(one) 						of beasts, (one of) fishes, and another of birds.

		(40) 	… celestial bodies, terrestrial (bodies): the glory of (flesh)
…the 						(one of) glory of  terrestrial is another.

		(41) 	…one glory the sun, and (one) glory the moon, another glory
the 						stars: one star differeth from another star in glory.

		(42) 	So is also the resurrection of the dead…. (Tells you right
there flat.     					There's a ranking, see?)

	You know, people today don't like authority. Preachers like authority,
they form a hierarchy. If you hate authority, so it  forms its own
little cliques' in prayer meetings and God knows what, and it raises up
in a Laodicean spirit. This is the age of two spirits: Laodican,
Nicolaitain. They both come to full maturity. And everybody that likes
…?... and comfort, they just like to be left alone. And say, "Just let
me live and breathe." Isn't there someone? Yep. Get in Divine Order.
There will be no Divine Order until the Millennium.

31.	Now, the Divine Order has already set in, and we're looking for that
spirit that Bro. Branham saw behind the 'Curtain of Time, at the time of
the Resurrection. We're looking for that, and It will be here. But you
see, there's a problem right now, because people have never got into the
divine flow of a Divine Order. But this is what this Message is going to
bring about.  Now, 

		(42)	 So also …sown in corruption; raised in incorruption:

		(43)	…sown in dishonour; raised in glory: sown in weakness; raised 	
				in power:

		(44) 	…sown a natural body; raised a spiritual body. (There's) a
natural 						body, (there's) a spiritual...

	Now, you see you got to die and come forth in the First Resurrection to
get through it.

		(45) 	And (as) is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; 
					the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. (In other words, as in 
					Adam all die, in Christ all made alive.)

		(46) 	Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is
natural; 					afterward that which is spiritual. 

	What's he talking about? The body. The body was a natural body that
came out of the ground. Then it came out of the womb, from the soil
indirectly through a chemical process. All right, it doesn't work that
way anymore. It's going to be God Himself, bringing bodies out of the
ground whether should be turned to gases, or dust, you name it. It
doesn't make any difference. No problem. God's going to bring it all
back. But He's going to raise It a spiritual Body. A spirit has not
flesh and bone. It was flesh and bone the body was raised to not flesh
and blood.

		(47) 	The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the
Lord 						from heaven.

		(48) 	As is the earthy, such are they also are earthy: and the
heavenly, 						such are they that are heavenly.

		(49) 	…as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear 
					the image of the heavenly.

		(50) 	Now this I say, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom 					of God; (flesh and bone does though) neither doth
corruption inherit 					incorruption.

	Why? Because your scepter is a scepter of righteousness, and they must
have the same righteousness and has the same life, the same everything
that He had. That is why they are brethren. They are all of one source
which is God.

32.	Now, we go back again then to Psalms 8:5-9 

		(5) 	For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast 	
				crowned him with glory and honour.

		(6) 	(You made) him to have dominion over the works of (your) hands; 	
				(and) put all things under his feet:

		(7) 	All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

		(8) 	The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatsoever passeth
through 					the paths of the seas.

		(9) 	O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

	So, make no mistake about it. This Jesus, (or this Person here) that
God is putting all things under His feet, is Jesus the Millennial man of
the First Resurrection, and the entire first-fruits. Everything that is
said here is going to devolve upon us in the First Resurrection. All of
It.

33.	Now, let's go a take a look at Ephesians 2:11-22, and we'll see our
part in It as Gentiles.

		(11) 	Wherefore remember, in time past (you were) Gentiles the flesh, 
					who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the 						
Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

		(12) 	That at that time (you) were without Christ, being aliens from
the 						commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of
promise, 					having no hope, without God in the world:

		(13) 	But now in Christ Jesus (that's being born again, you) who
sometimes 					were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

	In other words, he lets you know without the Blood you never could have
received the Holy Ghost. 

		(14) 	For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and broken down 			
		the middle wall of partition…

		(15) 	Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of 						
commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself 						of
twain one new man, so making peace; (In other words, He's 						going to
make one body.)

		(16) 	…that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the
cross, 						having slain the enmity thereby:

		(17) 	And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to 	
				them that were nigh.

		(18) 	For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the
Father. 					(Just as I told you, being born again you got it.)

		(19) 	Now therefore (we) are no more (foreigners) and (strangers,) but
						fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

		(20) 	(But, and) are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, 					Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

		(21) 	In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an
holy 					temple in the Lord:

		(22) 	In whom also (you) are builded together for an habitation of God
						through the Spirit.	

	That's why there's going to be a time when there's no temple. You won't
need one, because the body is there that is the temple, a composite
body.

 	Okay, with that we can think first of verses 12-13.

		(12) 	(And) at that time (you) were without Christ…singularly the
common-					wealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of
promise, no 						hope, without God… 

		(13) 	But now in Christ Jesus (you) who sometimes were far off are
made 					nigh by the blood of Christ.

	In other words, He shed His Blood to become High Priest to guarantee
that we could become a part of Him who was in the Election.

34.	Now, we might compare that little section I read there, (those two
verses in Ephesians, I reread them) by going back to Matthew 27:50-53.

		(50) 	Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the
ghost.

		(51) 	And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the
top to 					the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

		(52) 	…the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which
slept 					arose,

		(53) 	And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into
the 					holy city, and appeared unto many.

	So, what He accomplished upon Calvary for those people in the election
when he died, He brought them out of the graves when He arose, and the
same thing is positively going to happen again at the end time. He was
going to bring them out of the graves, as the Bible said, God is going
to them forth with Jesus, as He brought them forth with Jesus in the
first half of the First-Resurrection two thousand years ago.

35.	Okay, again in Revelation 14:1-5.

		(1) 	And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, with him 	
				an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written
					in their foreheads. (Now look it, they got the name too.)

		(2) 	And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and
						as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers 
					harping with their harps:

		(3) 	And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before
						the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song
but 					the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed
from 					the earth. (Notice, they're redeemed.)

		(4) 	These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are
virgins. 					(That's eunuchs) (And) they which follow the Lamb
whithersoever he 					goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being
the firstfruits 						unto God and the Lamb.

		(5) 	And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault
						before the throne of God.

	Okay, all the Old Testament Saints, (come on) they're in the election.
All the New Testament Saints elected a Bride will be there, and the
144,000. They will all be in that First Resurrection. The entire
first-fruits will be with 'The First-Fruit' Who is the Millennial Jesus.
Because those who was recognized as first-fruits, that is only a
potential that had been manifested partially, the rest of it has got to
be manifested before the tribulation, then during the tribulation.
(See?) But, right now He's High-Priest. But the very fact also is that
He is High-Priest now sitting on the Throne, and a human body is on that
Throne. So, you can see that we're entering into an absolute new phase,
(which I shall read to you about under the Seventh Seal later on) we're
in It now.

 	Now, that's the Jesus of the First Resurrection and the Millennium.
All right, now there is the Jesus of the Second Resurrection which is
the Great White Throne judgment and what takes place at that time.

36.	Now, let's go back to Matthew 25:31-46, (we won't have to read It
all.)

		(31) 	When the Son of (glory) shall come in his glory, and all the
holy 						angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his
glory:

		(32) 	And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
separate 						them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep
from the 						goats:

		(33) 	And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on
the left.

	Now, I know right here that people say, "This is when He comes after
Armageddon. And He comes down here upon earth and He is going to
separate the nations. And those nations will be separated as to whether
they'll be allowed to live upon earth, or they'll be destroyed." That's
not true. This is the White Throne judgment. (See?)

	Now,  

		(32) 	…before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
separate 						them one from another, as a shepherd (divides) sheep from
goats:

37.	It doesn't say, the sheep and goats being divided. It says, as a
shepherd does it. Because you see, the sheep are already transformed.
"My sheep hear My Voice and they follow Me." These are 'as'. They never
had the Holy Ghost. Foolish virgin, call them what you want. Under the
Fifth Seal, call them what you want.

		(34) 	Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye 		
			blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom (provided) you from 					
the foundation of the world:

	Now, you don't need to tell me that people are going to go in as a
nation. Only Israel goes in as a nation, that's a 144.000. This is the
White Throne.

		(35) 	…I was an hungred, and (you) gave me meat: thirsty, (you) gave
						me drink: a stranger, (you) took me in:

		(36) 	Naked, and (you) clothed me: sick, (you) visited me: I was in
prison, 					(you) came unto me.

		(37) 	Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee 					an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

		(38) 	When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and
clothed 					thee?

		(39) 	Or when (did we see) thee sick, in prison, and came unto thee?

		(40) 	And the King shall…say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch 					as (you) have done it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, 						(you've) done it unto me.

38.  And the brethren of course are those that do the will of God.
They're the ones with the revelation. This in unto those…this in not
unto the Jesus that people try to tell you. This is unto that Bride.   

		(41) 	Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from
me, 						ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and
his angels:

		(42) 	For I was an hungred, and (you) gave me no meat: thirsty, and
(you) 					gave me no drink:

		(43) 	I was a stranger, (you) took me not in: naked, (you) clothed me
not: 					sick, and in prison, (you) visited me not.

		(44) 	Then shall they answer him, (and say), Lord, when saw we thee
hungred, 					athirst, or a stranger, naked, (and) in prison, did not
minister? 

		(45) 	(And) he (shall say,) Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as (have
not unto) 					the least of these, (you) did it not to me.

		(46) 	And (they all went) into everlasting punishment: (and) the
righteous 					into eternal life.

39.	Now, you can tell right here…well, let's just look at It. But
before I hit that, over in Revelation, we might as well just go to
Daniel 7:9-10.

		(9) 	(Behold) I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the
Ancient 						of days did sit, whose garment white as snow, hair of his
head like 						the pure wool: his throne was like (burning fire,
saying) his wheels 					as burning fire.

		(10) 	A fiery stream issued came forth…before him: thousand
thousands 					ministered unto him, (that's the Bride ministering) ten
thousand times 					ten thousand stood before him: (and) the judgment
set, and the books 					were opened. (Now, you know about that, See?)

40.	Okay, Revelation 20:4-13.

		(4) 	And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
					unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the 	
				witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not 					
worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his 					
mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and 					
reigned with Christ a thousand years.

		(5) 	But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years
were 					finished. This is the first resurrection.

		(6) 	Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:
on such 					the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests
of God and 					of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

		(7) 	And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed
out 					of his prison,

		(8) 	And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four
quarters 					of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to
battle: the 					number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

		(9) 	And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the
camp 					of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down
from 						God out of heaven, (Not, New Jerusalem, just beloved city and
						devoured them.)		

		(10) 	And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire
and 						brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and
shall be 						tormented day and night for ever and ever. (That's a
major …?..., 						how long? Bro. Branham said, "Millions of years,
who knows.")

		(11) 	And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from
whose 						face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found
no place 					for them.

		(12) 	And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the
books 					were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book
of life: 					and the dead were judged out of those things which were
written in 					the books, according to their works. (See, that's the
books that Daniel 					saw.)

		(13) 	And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and
hell 						delivered up the dead which were in them: and judged every
man 						according to their works. (Now, you see, they're (judged)
according 					to works.)  

		(14) 	And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second 					death.

		(15) 	And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
into 					the lake of fire. (See?)

 	So, you can see here Who is on the Throne? Jesus is on the Throne. And
He is doing the judgment and all of these dovetail together without me
rereading Scripture just to bring them to your attention. We can reread
the Scripture yourself.

41.	Now, for the third part, Jesus reigning in Zion. So, let's go on
back to Psalms 2:

		(1) 	Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

		(2) 	The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel 						against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

		(3) 	Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from
us.

	Now, part of that was quoted over there in the time of the Resurrection
of Jesus when the apostles prayed.

		(3) 	Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from
us.

		(4) 	He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have
them 					in derision.

		(5) 	Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his
sore 					displeasure.

	Now, that and the wrath, wrath always indicates tribulation, like the
Great Tribulation at the time of Noah's flood and so on.

		(6) 	Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. (See?)

	No matter what happened, we go right to the place of the Great
Tribulation, go right on to the place of God destroying the wicked in
the Lake of Fire. And He said, "There's nothing anybody can do." Now
remember, Satan tries to destroy the people of God, even after the Great
White Throne. And He said: 

		(6)	Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

		(7) 	I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said…Thou art my Son; 
					this day have I begotten thee.

42.	Now, who is He talking about? The One that was begotten from the
dead. Not the One that was born on earth. That's not the One, although
that is the One. This is the One that's sitting on the Holy Hill on top
of Mount Zion. This is That One in the New Jerusalem, and He's the One
that was begotten from the dead. He is the first of the purchased. 

		(8) 	Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, 						the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

		(9) 	Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in
						pieces like a potter's vessel. (That was the Great Tribulation)

		(10) 	Be wise now therefore, kings: be instructed, (you) judges of the
						earth.

		(11) 	Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

		(12) 	Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, (that's worship Him, unless you)
perish 					from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they 					that put their trust in him.

	You can see here according to Scripture that there definitely is going
to be a reign of Him in the era of the New Jerusalem, and I'm not going
to read a bunch of other Scripture here. I could read many more to point
this out. 

43.	We might take just take one in Acts 13:28-41 if we want to read that
far.

		(28) 	And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they
						Pilate that he should be slain.

		(29) 	And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they
took him 					down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

		(30) 	But God raised him from the dead:

		(31) 	And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from 		
		Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

		(32) 	And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which
						was made unto the fathers,

		(33) 	God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he
hath 						raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second
psalm, Thou 					art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

	Is He raised for the dead? (See?) Now, set upon the Holy Hill?
Absolutely, Mount Zion.

		(34) 	And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no
more 					to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you
the sure 					mercies of David.

		(35) 	Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer
thine 					Holy One to see corruption.

		(36) 	For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of
God, 					fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw
corruption:

		(37) 	But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

		(38) 	Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through
this 					man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

		(39)	And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from
which 					ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.               
                                                

		(40) 	Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in
						the prophets;

		(41) 	Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work
in 						your days, a work which (you) shall in no wise believe, though
a 						man declare it unto you. (They won't believe this Message
either. 						No way.)

		(42) 	And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue…

44.	Okay, I'm going to let that go, the rest of this, except we're going
to make a comparison over here in 1 Corinthians 15, (if we had more time
we'd just take each one slowly, but I don't think we'll need it.)

		(23) 	But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward 						they that are Christ's at his (Presence.) 

	The Resurrection definitely is the start of putting every single thing
into the original pattern in order of God with God pervading everything.
Being the pervading influence proves that Word, and there will just be a
mutual oneness as the world has never known. And it starts with the
Parousia, which brings about the Resurrection. With no Parousia, no
Resurrection, no change in us, no First-Fruits, no nothing! (See?)

45.	Now, now that we have seen these three parts, we can see clearly
what Paul said in                    1 Corinthians 15:24-25, and
explained in 26-28.

		(24) 	Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom
					to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and 	
				all authority and power.

		(25) 	For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

		(26) 	(And) the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

	In other words, there is something going on now, that will go on plumb
to New Jerusalem, that Christ has thoroughly involved in, that the
process of Him reigning and absolutely is reigning is literally …?...
rain, because God is behind Him doing the things that He must do,
because of what Jesus Christ Himself has done.

	Remember, Jesus didn't only do something for you and me, (though that
is true) and we have the rewards of grace. But what He did for us falls
back on Him, so that He Himself is rewarded. You see, God's not
unrighteous to forget a labor of love. You know, like a lot of people.
You treat them good, you set them forward and you do everything. Then,
"You put them, step aside, I'll take over."

	Well, they do that to me all the time. I'm not Jesus, but you watch and
see what happens in that Great Day. There's no patting and step aside,
step aside, let me." Come on! "Every knee will bow. Every tongue will
confess that He is Lord." [Phil 2:10-11] And if God put him there. You
see, it's payback time. If it's the Book of Redemption are opened, and
redemption is going into its conclusive, and concluding stages, then
somebody has got to pay the One that paid the price. "He shall see His
seed. He shall prolong His day." [Isa 53:10] (See?)

46.  Now, He's just not happy to get a Bride, there are other
commitments given. "Thou art forever a priest…" which is the One
standing between God and man and in the form of a king, before He stood
there identified with you and me in our position. But there's got to
come a time when He's identified in God's position. That hour is right
now. That hour is right now. Do you think He's not going to get His
reward? This is why John the Baptist could stand back and could praise
the Bride and say, "Hallelujah, that was that One, if I be anymore then
a friend of the Bridegroom, that's going to be good enough." I don't
hope to think so, but that's the way it's supposed to be, that's the way
it's going to be.

 	Now, he said here, (that's the Parousia:)  

		(23) 	…every man in his order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward
they 						that are Christ's at his (Presence.)

		(24) 	Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom
					to God, even the Father; (way down the line. What this things
starts 					now, has started the fully …?...) when he shall have put
down all 						rule and all authority and power.

		(25) 	For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 

		 

47.	Now watch, 26-28 explains It.

		(26) 	The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

	So look it, this has got to go on until there's nothing left undone.
Now, if something is left undone, the flawlessness of God cannot come
forth. It is still flawed. 

		(26) 	The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

		(27) 	For he hath put all things under his feet. (See, that's the
original contract. 					It was set in order. They go in a process of
time. But now we come 					under the last stages.) But when he saith all
things are put under him, 					it is manifest that he (was left out
which was to) put all things under 					him.

		(28) 	And when all things shall be (put under) him, then shall the Son
also 					himself be (out under him) that put all things under (the
Son), that 						God may be all in all.

	In other words, the very things that He said, "I and my Father are one.
There is a day coming, (He said) when they are going to be one as We are
one." And brother/sister, no matter what perfection we find this side of
the Resurrection there is no real perfection till the other side. Let's
get that flat. And we talk now in terms of perfection, not in
concluding, (although that can be true too) but coming to the place
where there is no evidence of any flaw.

	Now look, there is no flaw in the program of God now, but the evidence
as we see, I wish that we have this treasure in an earthen vessel. That
the day's coming and it won't be an earthen vessel, per se. It'll be a
glorified vessel, and it's going to be alright. Because flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God, it's got to be changed.

48.	Now, God is doing this great thing, because of what Jesus did. I
mentioned that, we go to Hebrews 5:5-10. 

		(5) 	…also Christ glorified not himself…made an high priest; but
he that 					said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten
thee. (That's 					the Resurrection) 

	He said, "First begotten from among the dead." The only man that truly
come back from the dead absolutely metamorphosied. In other words,
changed from a caterpillar to a butterfly. 

		(6) 	As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever
after 						the order of Melchisedec.

		(7) 	Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and 
					supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able 	
				to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

		(8) 	Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things
which 					he suffered;

		(9) 	And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation
						unto all them that obey him;

		(10) 	Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

	In other words, the work that He did was honored by God with a
distinction that this man is Melchisedec. Priest, King, and they'll
never change It. He's called that, but He had to fulfill the other
aspect of the High-Priest to us until the chastening when It could be
manifested that all things were going to put people under His feet. Now,
how could it be? The thing could not be put under His feet, because the
Bride literally, (at least in a figure sense) is under His feet in this
respect: that He is the Capstone, and she is ordered under Him, and
they've all got to be in. And the last ones are coming in now and being
child trained. 

	And until that time as Melchisedec, He is not with the glorified Bride.
So therefore, the Holy Spirit here is getting every single thing ready,
so that the Bride can be changed and caught up where the physical
Capstone is Jesus the man, and He is Melchisedec. He literally gets off
the Throne and comes to meet them. You talk about a King getting off the
Throne to meet a woman, it's just the other way around. "Now, Esther if
you're going to approach, you just better have things just exactly right
there, bless your little heart child. and maybe, just maybe I'll extend
the scepter and just maybe you can come." This One comes off the Throne
to meet the Bride. You talk about multiplied grace.

49.	All right, now we want to get back to 1 Corinthians 15: (I said here
that) this is what's being done, because Jesus paid the price. It's
payback time. (See?) It's harvest time, what Jesus sowed He's got to
reap. So, He's reaping it. 1 Corinthians 15:23-25 again.

		(23) 	…every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward
					they that are Christ's at his (Appearing, Parousia).

		(24) 	Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the 					
kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put 						down all
rule and all authority and power.

		(25) 	For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

	Now, you will see that His Presence, the last word of verse 23 starts
the finalization of all we see in the Millennium, the White Throne and
the New Jerusalem by the man called Jesus. Now, that's where we're at.

50.	Okay, once more 23-24.

		(23) 	But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward 					they that are Christ's at his (Parousia).

		(24) 	Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the 					
kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put 						down all
rule and all authority and power.

	Now notice, to emphasize that God Himself has not swept in a takeover,
we analyze more carefully these verses. Notice, Parousia is a juncture
of time, a corner turned concerning eternal events.

	Number one: the Parousia signifies the end of an era. 20-23.

		(20) 	But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the
firstfruits 					of them that slept.

	So, therefore he's talking now about bringing all the first-fruits in.
Let me explain:

		(21) 	For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection 	
			of the dead (also.)

		(22) 	For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive.

		(23) 	But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward 					they that are Christ's at his (Appearing, or the
Parousia.)

	So, It signifies the end of an era. The era is over where people can
actually be born again. Especially in the Gentile kingdom, because this
refers to the Gentiles. The Parousia therefore signifies that it is all
over concerning grace, and God must turn to Israel. So, it's an end of
an era.

51.	Number two: the Parousia also signifies the beginning of all that is
left with God will now do, until He Himself is the complete and full
sovereign, not only by reason of creation, but all creation now is in
subjection, or a harmony by reason of being placed in their position,
and nobody is getting out of their position. The devil got out of his
position, that's what messed everything up. Eve got out of her position,
that's what messed everything up. The church got out of its position,
that's why it's messed everything up. Creeds and dogmas took the place
of the Word of God. From now on, it's un-messing time. (You see?)

	All right, now everything is being put under Him, 24,25.

		(24) 	Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the 					
kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put 						down all
rule and all authority and power.

		(25) 	For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

52.	Now, you can take a little …?... about this in 1 Corinthians 11:
(the very thing I mentioned a minute ago, and reading verse 3.

		(3) 	But I would have you know, that the head of every man is 					
Christ; the head of the woman is the man; and the head of 						Christ
is God.

	Now, It tells you right there is Headship. And the very Head Himself,
the God of all creation is now putting everything in order by making us
to realize that He Himself has positioned Jesus. Now, if you're going to
get anywhere, you have got to position yourself under Jesus, because
that's what God says. (See?) There's got to be a distinct positioning. 

53.  All right, with that Ephesians 1:22.

		(22) 	And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the 	
			head over all things to the church,

	So, we understand and recognize that without Jesus as the Head there
isn't anybody going anywhere, and nothing can happen. So therefore, He
must be recognized in the totality of His ministry. That's why as I
believe that Melchisedec was preached by Bro. Branham as one of the
Seven Thunders as a mystery of this age. He never thoroughly explained
every part of it, but he did mention the fact that this was one of the
mysteries.

	Well, why do you bring it up now? Because Paul said, "That is reserved
for men that are mature, and are able to take strong meat." That you
talk to somebody and say He's off the Throne, off the Mercy Seat and
on…"blaah…" You go to …why would you go to pieces? Why don't you
stand still? People can't stand still, that's the trouble with us bunch
of people call themselves "Bride." Last time I preached that sermon and
showed you, "ain't one of us going to make the Resurrection unless we
learn to stand still."

54.	That's what happened, they couldn't stand still. And Bro. Branham
warned us, he said, "Can't you stand still and hear the Message, and
then go to the waters of separation until He closes?" No! You can't
stand still. Run here, run there. Listen here, listen. SHUT UP! SIT
DOWN! LIE DOWN!  Pricked you eardrums, you got it coming to you. 

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, you don't know my heart." Fap! I know people. I'm
people. I read my heart and I read you just like a book. That's one
reason my preaching is effective, because I don't pull my punches, I
read my heart, I know what kind of crap and corruption and crud lies
right in here, I know Lee Vayle like the palm of my hand better anybody
else outside of Almighty God. And he's [Lee Vayle] is rotten and he
stinks. And if God doesn't do something he's shot and the whole bunch
are in the same boat. (See?) 

55.	Won't stand still and just listen. Always torn up. Bro. Branham
said, "Off the Mercy…" Everybody ran screaming. "No more covenant, no
more this."  How come? They didn't hear what he said in 'Souls Now in
Prison'. He's on the Throne. Starts in Melchisedec. Melchisedec is
High-Priest. A King. (See?) Higher than heaven. (I hate to be rough on
you, but it's alright.  I love you, sort of.) 

	I know what love is. Love is corrective. I got that one over. Love is
also to do the will of God when you don't feel like doing it. The
prophet told me those things. I believe the prophet. You can take your
love and (phfft!) buy yourself a ripe banana. Even then trip on the
banana skin. I'm not that mean Jack, I just sound that way.

 	All right listen, now bear this statement in mind, what I just said
here brought to our attention the fruit that signifies the beginning of
all that is left, what God will now do until He Himself takes complete
control, sovereignty. Control, not only by reason of creation, but that
all creation now is in the Divine Order, the pervasive reality of the
wisdom and knowledge of God. And He has ranked Jesus first, and He said,
"This is Melechisedec, I have placed Him." We all again will be placed
under Him in a proper and due order, and it will really be manifested in
the Resurrection.

56.	Now, further we emphasize that the First Resurrection is the turning
point just as well as this in the Parousia, bringing John 11:21-26 to
pass. (Well, why can't people sit still, why can't they sit still?
Preacher takes the nail and clenches it. Preaches the message hard to
clench it. As Bro. Branham said, "Afterward (he said) they bathe down in
the Presence of God." Just like the chiropractor's adjustment. Snaps you
head, and back around until you scream murder, then say, "Hey, that did
good after all.

		(21) 	Then said Martha unto Jesus, if thou hadst been here, my 					
brother had not died. (He was absent.)

		(22) 	But I know, that even now, (that You are here, Parousia) 					
whatsoever (you will) ask of God, God will give it (to You.)

	Do you realize that's a dangerous thing right there? You ask God
anything, you can have it. That's why this hour when He is here, we have
the mind of God. And she doesn't ask for anything and say anything until
first she has the Word. See, we're not going to run wild like Adam did.
We're not going to run wild like the devil did. See…the Presence would
guarantee that if we could influence God, brother/sister twist His arm,
which is what we're still trying to do, with Him here; why we could walk
over to Russia, knock the spots off of them. Have good health for one
thousand more years. A lot of things, but that's not the Word of God.

57.  Now, He was there. Now she said, "Whatever you ask, God will give
it to you. Well, what if it wasn't something to ask? There's a lot of
graves He didn't open. There's a lot of people that could have come
running up. 

		(23) 	(And) Jesus (said,) Thy brother shall rise again.

	Now, He's encouraging her. Now, she got thrown for a loop, she got
messed up in her Scripture on a revelation. The first revelation is very
good. Now she gets fouled up. How many people go so far as Bro. Branham
and then get fouled up?

		(24) 	(Oh,) I know that (he'll) rise again in the resurrection at the 
					last day.

		(25) 	(And he) said… (hold it, hold it, hold it. But did you just
tell 					me now that I'm here that I should ask and get something, and 
				you want him raised? What are you talking about?)

	There was something inside, a wheel within a middle wheel, a tie-post,
said, "Just hold it, holding, holding, holding. You're born again, you
won't miss it.

		(25)	(He) said, I am the resurrection, and the life:… [audio
inaudible]  

58.	Now, He's got another Name. He's got a Name, He's always…He's got
a title He's always had, but, He only had It once and He dropped it, but
He picked it up. He's here to raise the dead. As God raised Jesus, He is
here to do it again.

		(25)	…he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall 					
he live: (Now, that's to bring the dead out of the graves.)

		(26) 	And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. 					
(That's for the Bride standing here. You believe) this? 

	Do you believe that He is here today? A lot of us don't even believe
the Thunders and thundered and the Capstone's down. I do. You don't have
to believe the way I believe. Fap, have your own place. You say, "Well
Bro. Vayle, what if you missed It?" You're wrong. So, I'm still closer
then the duds out there. You  think that God doesn't get by …?...?
You're wrong, that's why there's a White Throne judgment. I have no
problems, only I know I'm right. 

	Now, how true this is. For it is a new creation of both animate and
inanimate. In other words the Resurrection is here, and we will have a
new creation of the animate and the inanimate, for God will be by the
restructured earth. Because that is in the Resurrection. The earth
itself, because He mentions human flesh, He mentions all other flesh,
and He mentions the heavens and the earth. So, there will be a
purifying, then there will be a complete reconstruction later on.

59.	Okay, now to nail this last statement down, (what we're seeing here)
we go again to Ephesians 1: (you're going to learn to love these verses
I give you, because you're going to build your lives on them hopefully.)
Ephesians 1:15-23, to those full of the Holy Ghost, (like these people
here) the prayer of Paul has become manifested. It's already here and
now he prays:

		(15) 	Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord 					
Jesus, and love unto all the saints, (you filled with the Holy 					
Ghost, each individuals)

		(16) 	Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you 						in
my prayers;

		(17) 	That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, (even) the Father 					
of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and 						revelation in
the knowledge of him:

		(18) 	The eyes of your (heart) being enlightened; that (you) may 					
know what is the hope of his calling, (you may actually 						enter in
to the earnest expectation of His calling of which 						we are a part
of that calling. And He's already started to 						get it, Melchisedec)
and what the riches of the glory of his 						inheritance in the saints,
(the Name in the saints.)

	You see, we're getting more and more identified with God, the
super-super race. You're not identified anymore than anywhere else.
Because as in Adam we were once dead. The identification in the
Resurrection is with Jesus, and we're in Resurrection hour. So, you
can't go back to Adam, you got to look to Jesus.

		(19) 	And (then) what is the exceeding greatness of his power to 					
us-ward who believe,… 

60.  Who believe what? That He's here! (You lost?) "For the Lord Himself
shall descend from heaven with a Shout to raise the dead." [1 Th 4:16]
And He's already here, completely becoming more and more into view as
this Word is revealed. And He's here to raise the dead. And if you
believe It, you're a part of It, if you don't believe It, you ain't part
of It.

	And He is here to take you in a Rapture which is a revelation that He
is here to do It, and if you don't believe It, you ain't going to go. Go
ahead, try flapping your wings, and turn on the TV and see the funny
thing trying to flap their wings, trying to fly. Say, "Bro. Vayle, you
watch a lot of TV." Nah, I don't, it just happens, I look at the right
things …?... in a motel. See a lot of inspiration. It's only been
worth seeing in my books, and a good cartoon. And I see birds and
animals, everything in there and I can like it, and right today
everybody's trying to be like the cat that flaps its paws to catch the
canary. Yeah. You don't believe it? Try it on your own. Try it on your
own. You say it's going to get changed without seeing Him? Try it on
your own. That's what he's really talking about.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, how do you know?" Because I already believe this!
They're confirming  It. They were born again! And if you're born again
you're going to believe this. Be my guest.

		(20) 	Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the 					
dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 

	Resurrection, Rapture, because He's Present. You prove me wrong,
because the prophet said that's what It was. He comes down and does all
three in descending. Of course descending is up there. Nah. Try to make
this book descend. [Bro. Vayle demonstrates] The book is going to
descend to sit there? …?... Was descended? Could descend? Fap! 

 	The Divine sovereignty of the first twelve verses, [Ephesians 1]
becomes your potential in 13 and 14 where you're filled with the Holy
Ghost. And then 15-23 God Himself comes and brings It to pass.  We only
participate because we are Seed.

61.	Let us also see Philippians 3:20-21.

		(20) 	For our (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look				
for the Saviour… (there is only one Savior, and that's God.)

	You say, "Well Jesus died." He made the way that God's a Savior,
because He didn't get the Holy Ghost. What about Jesus' death upon
Calvary? Still wouldn't make it. Would never be Bride. The best you
could do would be  to come up in the Second Resurrection. And even then
you'd still have to have the Holy Spirit, or you wouldn't be living. 

	Who's the Savior? The Bible says God is. His Name is: the Lord Jesus
Christ. Just like the Man sitting on the Throne:

	 	(21) 	Who shall change our vile body, (the bodies of humiliation 				
	that causes us all these troubles,) that it may be fashioned 						like
unto (the bodies of His glory, the One that rose, changed 					from the
dead) according to the working whereby he is able 					even to… (bring
under order this body. Subjection.)

	So you see, when we talk about subjection, we're talking about Church
Order. We're talking about God putting things in their proper place. And
the proper place now is His Presence to bring about a resurrection. 

62.	And to prove that the Parousia is the Presence of God that ends an
era starting with that Presence to take us on to the limitless future
things of God, we read Revelation 10:1-7.

		(1) 	And I saw another mighty (messenger) come down from 						heaven,
clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his 						head, and his
face was as it were the sun, and his feet as 						pillars of fire: 

		(2) 	And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right 	
			foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, 

	Now how did He get that little Book? The Lamb gave It back to Him. He
handed the Book to Jesus the man, to rip off the seals, and when the
seals are ripped off God who started it had to finish it, so He
abdicated the Throne and said, "Here, You take over, from now on I'm
starting to pay You back. You've been faithful two thousand years, now
it's Your day." That's fair. 

	Isn't it nice when a father has worked all his life and laid up a good
fortune and raised up a good fine son just like him and said, "Son, I
know that I've got to go, but that's alright, you got my name, I have an
immortality in you, I have a life in you, you're a chip off the old
block, now you take over." That's nice. That's what Bro. Branham said
about Bride, manifested sons. 63.	 Their name on the check. Why not,
they got the same name. Didn't he say, "we're all Mrs. Jesus?"  That
went over a lot of people's heads. That one is a revelation at the end
time.

		(2) 	And he had in his hand a little book open: (which Jesus had 				
opened) and  set his right foot upon the sea, and left foot on 					the
earth,

		(3) 	And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth:… (true, 		
		that was the First Age, but the Seventh Age is a Son day. 					
Because the Son is on earth. But John saw this looking down 					from
heaven.)   

		(4) 	And the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to 					
write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal 					up
those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write 						them not.

		(5) 	And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the 					
earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

		(6)	And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, (and so on, 					
and so on) …that (time) should be no longer:

		(7) 	But in the days of the voice of the seventh (messenger),…(at 		
		that time when time should be no longer there would be a 						Seventh
Church Age messenger revealing all the mysteries of 					which the Seven
Thunders has to be a part of It, or all the 						mysteries aren't
revealed.) 

	And It says, "in the days of His Voice," His ministry. 

64.	And the further enhance the entire picture of God Himself doing this
in His Own sovereign time, we look again at 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. And
we go over that again.

		(13) 	But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning 		
		them which are asleep,… 

	Now, Paul is saying to the Thessalonians what he said to the
Corinthians, "I'm talking to you Corinthians, (he said) you …?... in
people and you've got an erroneous idea about the Resurrection. Some of
you don't believe in It, some of you believe it's passed, you're wrong, 
         I want to tell it to you." And he told them. Now, in a nutshell
he says the same thing.

		(13) 	…I wouldn't) have you (brethren) ignorant, concerning them				
which are asleep, that (you) sorrow not, as others have no hope.

		(14) 	(Which) we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them 
				also which sleep in Jesus will God bring (forth) with him.

	Now, what do they believe in? (See?) If we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, fine, we know then that those that are asleep God has got to
raise.

		(15) 	For…(Thus saith) the Lord, that we which are alive and remain 
				unto the (Presence, and he's talking about the Resurrection)…				
shall not (go before) them which are asleep.

		(16)	For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, 				
(he tells you the Presence, God is going to come on down)				...voice of
the archangel, trump of God: dead in Christ shall 					rise first: (Now
remember, Jesus is a man, God is God.)

		(17) 	Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up 					
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the 						air:… 

 	Now, what Lord? "The Lord said unto my lord, sit thou at My right
hand." God is doing this Thing down here in order to bring a Bride
forth, so that their rewards of Jesus receiving the Bride, (the virtuous
Bride) He shall have that virtuous Bride. (See?) Now, be sure to see It,
God Himself is doing It, and in the future we shall meet our Lord, the
Lord Jesus Christ in Whom God will reincarnate Himself in the future.

65.	Now, let's go to Ephesians 5:26-27. Now listen:

		(26) 	That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of 					
water by the word,

		(27) 	That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not 					
having spot, or wrinkle, 

	Now listen, he's talking about the presentation. The presentation has
to be after the Resurrection. And what's he talking about up here? A
living Bride that is sanctified and cleansed by the washing of water by
the Word. Because the dead themselves have a guarantee to come out of
that ground. They paid their place with death. We don't pay a price of
death. "It's appointed to the man once to die." [Heb 9:27] But God
stopped the appointment. For that's no time for no more appointments, no
more fooling around with this kind of nonsense. It's time to get this
Bride off the ground. So, He come on down and does it. All things.

66.	Notice, at the same time 1 Thessalonians 4:16, which is a Shout,
which in the Greek is a military command in 1 Corinthians 15:24, shall
have put down all rule and all authority. That word 'put down', also
verse 25, 'put all enemies'. Verse 27, 'put all things under', 'put
under him', (two quotes) verse 28, when all should be put under', (not
subdued, different meaning) 'be subject', (number two) did put all
things under Him'. Number three, that's about seven different times he
says It) this is the same terms as the root word for 'shout', which
means, 'military ranking'.

	In other words, the Word of God goes into full military effect from the
top. This is the hour of the marching order, there is nobody can get out
of line. There is nobody can …?... there is nobody can do anything for
'Thus saith the Lord', this is it! And He's going to do it. Now, how are
you going to withstand God? (See?) God is doing it.

	Time to quit? Can you remember what I said if we come back, and I start
reading out of the Seals for you? What we've done now is lead you to a
place of where we see that the Holy Spirit, God Himself, is here in
order to raise the dead.

67.  This in necessary, because Jesus must receive the rewards of the
fruit of His ministry. He just can't go on and on, and on, payback time
comes. "The bread cast upon the water must return." [Eccl 11:1] It's the
time of the final hour of the Gentiles, and a 144,000 to go, and that's
all. And God has started something down here, that only God can do, and
it starts with the Presence. (You understand what I'm saying? You really
understand what I am saying?)

	Now, if you understand what I said, okay, comeback tonight. About seven
o'clock and we'll go into six more pages of notes and the reading of the
Seventh Seal, to show you what I'm preaching this morning. Hopefully. At
least I believe it. It's what I believe, what I can see from the Word of
God, what I understand in my heart to be what Bro. Branham taught.

	This is no personal revelation to Lee Vayle. This is just a Scripture,
just exactly what Bro. Branham taught as I see it. That's all. I'm not
trying to interpret Bro. Branham in any way, shape, or form. I am merely
trying to show you as I see the Scripture from what he taught, what lies
in the Shout, the Voice, and the Trumpet. Particularly my brother/sister
the Reality of the Presence. Without which, It would either stop and
never conclude, for It would never amount to anything.

68.   And that’s why He said, "Elijah must come, because God cannot
deal Himself with anybody since He swore by Himself, they (in plural)
shall never see Him again in the Pillar of Fire. They shall never hear
me again in My actual Voice, but I will speak through a prophet and he
will tell you.

	Then, if God is here…now listen brother, I'm not being irreverent,
but if God were here and not a Pillar of Fire but in that glass of
water, it would take somebody to tell about It. And I wouldn't be that
one, and you wouldn't be that one. It would be …?... Okay, let's rise.

	Heavenly Father, we thank You now for giving us the time of…oh, I'm
very happy that You helped me to slow down, so I trust the people are
getting these things indelibly. And if it's not of You, Lord, they are
of God it'll shuck off, the Word will correct the error. But if this is
that Word correcting errors then, Lord, it will not shuck off, It'll
become rooted, It'll become a living part of the Reality that is Light
of this hour which we are looking at… 

	So, Father God, I pray that You be with us now to teach these things in
our minds to the extent that they'll blossom and grow and become a part
of It, or will examine and spit it out. It is not worthy to be
considered that it'll go either way. Because there's no doubt that You
will perform that work until the very day of the Lord Jesus Christ, so
that there isn't  anyone ordained that's going to miss It.

	So, Father, we have that assurance now at this time that we can sit in
any church and any place and hear anything at any time. And that Holy
Spirit in each one would judge and run it through the filter, take It or
leave It. That's the way it's going to be and we thank You for it that
it's a good feeling. And now, Father God, we just pray that You'll go
with the folk, may they be blessed, may they be helped in all things
Lord Jesus Christ. May You be with us all, bring us back together in
such a frame of mind that we can hear and understand, and go into what
is left at this particular moment.

	And unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible the only wise God be all
power and honor and glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
