End-Time Doctrine PRIVATE  

July 18, 1993

[Note: This message Bro. Vayle gave to the local church before he
preached the message “Spoken Word Is the Original Seed; Book 2;
#13”.]

1. 	We’re facing a little peculiar situation on this business of the
end time, because we have this peculiar situation in the business world
called ‘attrition’. Before that word became popular in America, on
the grounds of a job running out, the person retired… They call it
‘attrition’. It means ‘nobody else is hired’. And I told you
about that word about a year before it became popular in America—in
the business sense; how that came to me while I was in a sort of a
never-never land, not really conscious, but not unconscious. And that
word, ‘attrition’, came to me. And, to my knowledge, I had never
heard of it. It’s used in the sense of the theological, but it’s
used also more in the sense of, as I said, a retirement without
replacement. It is certain that, when Bro. Branham died, there is no
replacement. It is certain, when other five-fold ministers die, which
Bro. Branham was above the five-fold minister, there will be no
replacement, because history is over. The prophet said so. It’s been
vindicated by God.

2. 	Now, my position here is this: I do not look as though I am not
expendable. I am. There hasn’t been one person who was not expendable.
Even Jesus became expendable on the grounds of ‘mission to be
accomplished’. We don’t have that privilege. We’re just
expendable, period, because of sin. Everybody born in sin dies. And it
hasn’t run out yet. The great mystery has not come to pass. It’s
merely in process. So, you should be praying very, very carefully from
now on. We’re not interested in what anybody has to say about anybody,
because we can take hearsay as a good recommendation and find out that
hearsay is a lot of hogwash, because the person you talked to wasn’t
honest with you to the extent he was willing to lower the boom and tell
the honest-to-God truth.

3. 	Now you know my stand here in this pulpit. I use a very vulgar term:
I say, “I spill my guts.” I expect you to do the same with yours,
because you’re before the White Throne. There’s nothing hidden
anyway. It’s better that you tell it than be shouted from the
housetops; because, if you don’t think that’s Scripture, I’ll read
it for you. I may have to get my concordance out, but I’ll find it.
It’s there. And, when it’s there, God backs His Word. So, all right.

4. 	What I’m leading up to is this: we can’t afford to make a
mistake. This is going to take prevailing, faithful prayer. Now we’ve
been very lax here in many ways, and one way we’re lax is that, since
we don’t have a Sunday night service, I notice that many people run
off to picture shows. I do not approve of you doing it, and you know it,
and should not be doing it. We’re taking time to socialize in a
relaxed manner that could lead you away from God. Have you ever thought
of coming back to the church and praying? Praying sincerely, that you
might have someone to really help you, because you need that person?

	I cannot go on, period. Let’s face it. There was a time when I could
preach and feel better after preaching and during preaching than when I
started. You’re not looking at the same guy. Death and decay has set
in a long time ago, and it’s accelerating. I don’t pretend for one
minute that’s not true in my case.

5. 	So, the burden falls on you, period. I will pray with you, pray at
home, come together with you. Those times you decide to be very, very
serious and sincere, I can do that with you. But I can tell you one
thing: I won’t vote this time. I have no vote, no input. This throws
you, as the early church, back on the Lord, and as so that should be
with every age and everybody. So now, I’ve found years ago, when I was
first saved, about age eighteen years of age, and of course, being born
into Pentecost, and they thought, “Now there’s a pretty good kid, if
he could be a preacher.”

	So, they decided I should speak at young people’s meetings. And I
remember that I said, “Well, I can’t refuse to do what others do. We
just get together.”

6. 	And I remember I asked the person that time in charge to pray for
me. I used to ask a lot of people to pray for me. I guess I still do. I
appreciate you praying for me. I can tell you one thing: there is nobody
can pray for you like you, yourself. You are your best intercessor. You
are your best advocate. You are the one who’s desperate about
yourself. You’re the one that knows yourself, sincere about yourself.

7. 	And I found this over the years: that if I really wanted some deep
inside praying, I don’t mind even Bro. Branham praying for me. But
I’ve learned this one thing: William Branham’s prayers, although
they’re far better than mine—certainly… Lots of people’s prayers
are better than mine. Certainly. There’s nobody as interested in me
and my need as I, myself. That being the case, I should very, very
sincerely pray. So, you remember these things and keep in heart and
mind, and the Lord will bless you.

8. 	Let’s see. I guess you have your Friday night services; your
services are good to come together. It’s also good to remember that
different ones of you should sort of pair up, if you so desire. That is,
nobody’s going to make you do it.

9. 	But every now and then, you should go over the doctrine that we
understand here, as taught by Bro. Branham. And, remember;
‘doctrine’ is not a dirty word. ‘Tradition’ is a dirty word. And
that word is only dirty insofar as it’s man’s tradition, because
there is a tradition of the fathers which is truly acceptable, which is
the true doctrine by revelation. But we don’t like using the word
‘tradition’, because it has a very bad connotation—and not just a
connotation, a very severe definition of evil by Jesus. He said, “You
have made void the commandments of God by your tradition,” which means
that there isn’t one promise in existence in the Bible that can come
to pass with the slightest change. If there is one human thought placed
upon that Scripture, it’s void; eternal life is void; the Millennium
is void; your standing and not being blown away in the Lake of Fire is
void; your entering in the New Jerusalem, being part of it, is void.
There isn’t one thing that is not voided by adding one, little, tiny
word.

10. 	So, it’s very incumbent upon everybody to know what Bro. Branham
taught. And, remember; he said, “My ministry is to declare that He is
here.” Now I want to ask the question, “Who’s here?” See? You go
instantly from the messenger’s own declaration.

	Remember when the blind man was healed, (He was blind from birth.) the
parents got in hot water with the Sanhedrin, the Pharisees. And they
said, “Is this your son that was blind?”

	They said “Yeah, yeah, that’s our son. He was born blind.”

	“How did he get healed?”

	“You ask him. He’s of age.”

11. 	Well, what I’m saying is: who would know better than the person
that was born blind and getting his eyes suddenly opened? Who would you
talk to, to know more about that particular thing, than that person who
was the one involved? So, we go to Bro. Branham as the involved person:

“Bro. Branham, what do you mean, that your ministry is to declare that
He is here?

Of whom are you speaking?

Under what conditions are you speaking?

What valid proof and insight do you have that I can accept that whoever
you are talking about is here?

And I want to know, what has that to do with you?

And, what has that to do with me?

And, what has that to do with Scripture and the history of those people
who are bound up in what they believe to be the fellowship of Christ, to
be a Bride.”

12. 	Now those, you see, are things you should know in this church; and,
if you don’t know them, where have you been? What are you listening
to? What’s in your minds? Surely, by now, you know how to shake your
heads and get the rattling peas out of there, that Bro. Branham said was
like the dried peas falling on a dry cowhide. Surely you can get your
thoughts under control to what the prophet said, being vindicated.
“Who is here? Why is He here? What is He doing?” Now all of those
things bring in thoughts. For instance, what He’s doing brings in the
understanding of roles, titles. Not only what, but consequences. Those
are the things you must know.

13. 	And, when I find that, after ten years, there are those (They’re
not with us now.) who said, “What’s the difference between the
Baptizer and the baptism?”—even claiming the Presence for years—is
like telling me you don’t know the difference between a chicken and an
egg. And spiritually speaking, you don’t, because without the
Baptizer, there is no baptism. The same as if there is no chicken, there
is no egg. And, if there’s no father, there’s no baby.

	Who’s here? Why is He here? What is He doing?

14. 	I want to ask you a question: “Can you tell me this morning
exactly what Bro. Branham said as to why the Baptizer is here, and we
have now swung from the emphasis of the baptism onto the Baptizer, even
though the emphasis on the baptism is strictly very great?” Because
without being born again when baptized with the Holy Ghost, you cannot
be a part of the Body. Now, does anybody know? I’ve told you time and
time again, but perhaps you haven’t put it together. Do you know Bro.
Branham said the baptism with the Holy Ghost is temporal? Temporary?
What happens when there’s no more baptism with the Holy Ghost? Now
think. What do you deal with then? You deal with the Baptizer. There’s
no more to be added to the family. The seed has run out. The last child
is in and in the process of child training. When the last few children
are child-trained, that predicates the literal Second Coming—which
means:

a.   The dead must come out of the ground.

b.   The present living must be changed.

c.   We’ll consort for up to forty days with those who come forth.

d.   The trumpet will sound, which is the gathering together of the
Bride in the ascent to the Incarnation and the Wedding Supper.

15. 	Now there’s not one man here that shouldn’t know everything
I’ve said this morning and be able to tell it as easily as I can tell
it. But, if you’re not thoroughly involved with these things, that
this is your meat and your life, this is “Live, die, sink or swim,”
this is the vindicated hour—in other words, you’re not thoroughly
sold out and dedicated...

	Of course, you might listen to the hogwash this man tried to perpetrate
upon Bro. Peter Marstrander, who, when he came here, was invited up to
his room at the Comfort Inn. You know who invited him, and I think you
know who went there. After he got through filling Peter’s ears, and
one of his big toothy, smiley revelations was that the soul of Jesus was
the Pillar of Fire. Might sound good to some of you people.

	I ask you a question: “Can you find that where Bro. Branham said
it?” If you can, I’d like you to show me. I want to ask you another
question: “Who is the Pillar of Fire?” And the answer is, “It
isn’t who at all. The Who is God in a Pillar of Fire.”

	So, when the man got trying to snow Peter with all of his junk, he said
to Peter, hoping that he’d get a real good response, which was in the
positive, making him a great teacher, someone to take the great things
back to Europe and spread them around… Why doesn’t he go and do his
own spreading?

	He said, “Peter, what do you think?”

	Peter says, “I’ll tell you what I think: I think I’ll be more
careful from now on who I listen to.” 

	Be careful what you hear and how you hear.

16. 	If you read John 9, in there you’ll find the man born blind.

(6) 	And Jesus told him to... (Well, he made a little spittle of clay
and put it on his eyes.) 

(7) 	And said, “Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.” And he went
there and      when he washed, his eyes became clear.

(8) 	And the people wondered, and they said, “Is this the man born
blind that      begged?”

	Others said, “Well, no; but he sure looks like him.”

	And the guy said, “I’m the fellow. I don’t have any look-a-likes
around here. I can tell you that I’m the one.”

	They said, “How were your eyes opened?”

	“Oh,” he said, “a man that’s called Jesus made clay and
anointed mine eyes and said, ‘go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’
and I went and washed, and I received my sight.”

	Then, they said, “Where is he?”

	He said, “I don’t know.”

	How could he know, unless Jesus took him to the pool? Jesus never took
him to the pool. Somebody else did. Jesus disappeared. They brought the
Pharisees, those old traditionalists that changed the Word of God and
voided every single thing that God said in His Word by voiding It.

17.	Now, what you’re listening to is, “Spoken Word Is the Original
Seed”. So, don’t you fail to listen carefully.

(16) 	So the Pharisees asked him how was it done; he told them. And the
Pharisees said, This man is not of God. We know him. He keeps not the
Sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that’s a sinner do such
miracles? And there was a division among them.

 	Now, if you think Christ, the Word, is not a divider of men, I want to
tell you something: you missed the whole point right here—what was
just read. Do you realize: (1) this was one cohesive group of religious
people? And the traditionalists, which were the Pharisees, had bound
them to themselves, and now they were operating on fear and everything
else; and (2) that you’ve got some people here with spiritual
gumption. So, there’s a division. The Word always divides. You can’t
help it. It divided the night and the darkness, didn’t it? When’s It
ever going to stop doing it? When there’s no more darkness; it’s all
Light. And the Bible says, “In Him is Light and no darkness at all,”
when “God becomes All in All,” “no shadow of turning.” All
right.

18.	(16) 	He’s not of God. There was division.

(17) 	They said to the blind man, “What do you say about Him?” (Now,
watch: this man is just an ignorant, blind fellow with his eyes open,
and he said, “He is a prophet.” You know why? Because he told the
man to do it and the man did it, and the eyes were open. They knew he
was a prophet.

(18) 	Now the Jews did not believe concerning Him that he had been blind
and received his sight till they called his parents.

(19) 	And they said, Is this your son whom you say was born blind? How,
then, doth he see?

(20) 	The parents say, We know this is our son. He was born blind, but
what-ever it means, we don’t know; ask him! He is of age. Let him
speak for himself. (See? They are afraid of the Jews. Now these parents
weren’t up to snuff. This guy, here, he... Of course, the parents had
never had what this boy had.)

(23) 	The parents said, “Ask him.”

(24) 	So, they called the blind man again...which was blind, and they
said, “Give God the praise: we know this man’s a sinner.”

(25) 	And he answered and said, Hey, if you want to call Him a sinner,
that’s your business. I don’t know a thing about those things. All I
know is, I 	         was blind and now I see.

(26) 	So, they said again, What did He do to you? How opened He your
eyes?

(27) 	And he said, I told you already. (This guy is gutsy. If he
didn’t hear, how would you hear it again?)

(27) 	Will you be His disciple? (What are you asking for? Do you want
some kind of a change? You guys been running this show all these years, 
         nothing ever been done except bad, bad, bad, bad, junk, junk, 	
            junk...control, control, control. Now, do you want to learn
something 	         from Him, so you can begin to get some changes?”)

(28) 	And they reviled him. Thou art His disciple, but we are Moses’
disciples.

	   Now, listen, and get this carefully: we know that God spoke unto
Moses. (How did they know? Presumptuous liars! Denying the very Word
that they stand for, because they know a prophet like Moses came with
vindication before he said a Word—before any doctrine, any teaching
came.) They said, “We be Moses’ disciples; we know what a prophet
is.	 

19. 	Did they? Go on out and ask people, “What is a prophet? What does
a prophet really mean? Who is the prophet? What does it mean ‘from
amongst the brethren’?” Nineteen years have gone by. More than
nineteen years have gone by. In 1977 I began... Well, it’s 16 years
that have gone by since I began speaking on the Presence; and years
before then, I took all of these things I’m saying this morning… And
I want to ask one question: “Where were they when Bro. Branham taught
it; where have they been while I’ve been teaching it?”

	For 20 some solid years—going on 30—we’ve been laying this out,
message after message in literally hundreds of messages, taking hundreds
of hours. Vindication! And, let me tell you something. These people
turned on vindication, and the majority of people in this Message
don’t even understand what it’s about. And there are preachers who
will only use vindication by name in order to tell you they believe in
the prophet, and then begin telling you things as though they were
vindicated.

	You can’t do it. You got to stick with the Word.

20.	(29) 	He said, Now we know that this...that Moses is of God. We
don’t know where this fellow is from.

(30) 	And the man said, Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you don’t
know where He is from, and yet He opened mine eyes. And you don’t know
	         where He’s from, He opened my eyes, (and you’re condemning
Him? 	         You can’t do it.)

 	You see? What I’m trying to show you here is Alpha is Omega, and the
same thing is happening today on the grounds that Bro. Branham taught
us. He said, “God is obligated to do, in the form of the Holy Spirit
for the Gentiles what He did when He was here on earth in the form of
flesh to the Jews.”

	Now, let’s keep looking at this.

(30) 	He said, This is a marvelous thing that this should happen.

(33) 	If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

(34) 	And they answered and said, Thou wast altogether born in sin, and
dost      thou teach us? And they cast him out.

 	There’s your picture right there. You can’t... That’s what
happened to Jesus in the Laodicean Church Age: They kicked Him out. And
the only way they could kick Him out is in the form of the Holy Spirit,
because there’s no way he’s down here in the flesh. That’s
ridiculous. Anybody thinks he’s come back in the flesh the second
time, that’s not true at all. They don’t understand ‘appearing’
and ‘coming’, and understand that there is a ‘Coming’ of
Almighty God—Elohim, Himself—the same One that spoke to Paul in the
Pillar of Fire. That’s Jehovah. That’s Elohim. The same One is here,
reteaching the Word of revealing the Word.

(34) 	And they kicked him out.

(35) 	And when Jesus heard they had cast him out; and when they had
found him he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

	Now, notice right there: “Dost thou believe on the Son of God?”

	And He identified Himself as the Son of God, and it’s in this hour of
Hebrews 6 that He’s crucified afresh unto the people themselves.

21. 	Now you’ve been listening to me for many, many years now in this
church since roughly—continuously—1980. That’s 13 years. Now I
want to ask you a question. “Since Alpha is Omega—we brought it
out—and we’re looking at this man who’s blind. We’re looking at
the environment, spiritual environment, round about him. We’re looking
at the declaration of Jesus as the Son of God. And, remember; Bro.
Branham identifies that in Romans, when He descended, baptizing people
with the Holy Ghost, coming back as the Holy Spirit. It is Son of God.
The days of ministry are the Son of man.

	Now, since we’re looking at Alpha and Omega, tell me, where would I
instantly go, on the premise of Alpha and Omega, the parallelism of
Scripture?” I would have to take you to the third chapter of
Revelation, where they’re “wretched, miserable, blind, naked, and
don’t know it,” and don’t want to know it. This is what you are
looking at in this period, when the Son of God, in the ministry of the
Son of man—in other words, God, Almighty, Himself, Elohim—came down
and did the mighty works and vindicated Who He is and Who He was.

22.	(35) 	And so Jesus said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

(36) 	And he answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on
Him?

(37) 	And Jesus said, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh
with 	         thee.

(38) 	And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

23. 	Now Jesus did not say, “Do not worship me.” In one place He
said, “Worship God.” But in this case He does not say, “Do not
worship me.” So, when Bro. Branham said, “Jesus is God, but He’s
not God,” don’t let that fool you, because actually, an object of
worship is God, or God is an object of worship, and Jesus can be
worshipped, because he’s head of the church. He can be worshipped in
the sense that Sarah worshipped Abraham; worship in the sense that they
took his feet, and as this man worshipped him. And this does not
constitute the Son as being the Father, but this is the Son of the
Father. This is not God, the son; this is the Son of God, which most
people can’t even figure that out; that most fathers here, not
everybody, but most fathers we’ve talked to, have a son, and you can
say, “Well, you know”—to the mother or to the father—“your son
looks like the father.” That’s true, but the son is not the father,
and the father is not the son, even though the same life is in both of
them. And you’ve got people that can’t tell that. They can’t
understand.

	They swear everywhere that I teach two gods. And I do not teach two
gods; because, if I was teaching two gods, I’d be teaching three
million gods! I’d have to. Now, did you follow why I said that? I’m
talking to you people that are going to talk together—not trying to
make theologians out of you, just to understand the Word of Almighty
God. That’s all. It’s down here. And, remember; Bro. Branham said,
“Once you see this Message, that’s all you’ll see in the Word.”
I don’t say that that’s just like falling into a pond by just
dunking yourself in, but it’s there.

24.	(38) 	And he worshipped him.

(39) 	And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they
which see not, might see; and they which see might be made blind.

	Now, when was the Laodicean Church struck blind? When the prophet came
on the scene, the Son of God came on the scene; the Holy Spirit came
here, and the Appearing, and the ministry of the Son of man; the prophet
appeared; the Judge appeared.

(40) 	And the Pharisees stood by and they heard him, and they said, Are
we 	         blind also?

(41) 	And Jesus said, If you were blind, you should have no sin: but now
you 	         say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

 	Now, how could He say that? You know how He could say it? Come on.
Just think a minute. How could He tell them that? Because they disagreed
with vindicated truth. They were doing their own seeing. You ain’t got
a think coming this morning. If you have, I would prefer you go where
the guy has his think coming. We should be honest. Eight people made the
ark; so, don’t pretend eight million are going to make it. Don’t
pretend your thoughts and my thoughts, or our so-called compassion, is
going to know this Bible here. It says, “As it was in the days of
Noah.”

25.	I’m not putting anybody out. I’m not putting anybody in.
That’s not my job. But my job is to stand here in defense of the
Gospel—which I intend to do at the cost of my life, or any prestige I
might have, or anything else I might have—that I, at least, might, to
the best of my ability, stand before God. At least I stood at His Word.
Never said one thing about living It, although that’s part of It.
Don’t think it isn’t. But living it is a great part. But believing
is the greatest there is.

26. 	So, here we are today, and I’ve taken my time on purpose. I can
cut back later on the message, which is “Spoken Word is the Original
Seed”. And, when you will look at original seed, you have to take into
consideration, brother/sister, not the fact that you are simply looking
at an original seed, and say, “Well, hey, I know, original seed...
Wheat is wheat, and oats is oats, and I sure agree that that’s the way
it should be, and nobody’s going to change that, and if I plant
wheat... Well, all right, I’m going to get wheat”—and down the
line.

	It’s a whole lot more than that, because It’s in Eccl 3:14. “I
know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: and nothing can
be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men
should fear before him.”

27. 	Now He’s telling... What’s He telling you there? In plain
English, He’s telling you, “I never change my Word; I do exactly
what I said. I never take from It; I never put to It. I don’t want you
doing it. I’ll refuse to allow you to do it, because I will not add
one Word. I will not take one Word. I will not diminish one Word of the
effect and stand behind it. In no way will there be a change.” You
see? “That which hath been is now.” Come on.

28. 	The Pharisees have denied Bro. Branham. And, remember; the people
came and said, “Bro. Branham, what does it mean when Jesus said, ‘He
that hath seen me hath seen the Father.’ He said, “You’re looking
at me, aren’t you? Same thing.” Why, just then I preached another
god. Did you notice? I got another god. His name is William Branham now.
Yeah. Moses did the same thing. I got another god, now. His name is
Moses.

29. 	Now I trust this morning you all know where I’m coming from. And,
don’t feel bad if I want to know where you’re coming from every now
and then. I like to know if what is being said is in the womb of your
minds; because, if it isn’t there, whatever goes down in your
heart—if it is not the true mechanical Word of Almighty God, the true
revelation—then, in your heart where your life is, it won’t be the
true life of God. It’s impossible. They can’t get together.

	Now you’ll be criticized. Oh, yeah, you’ll be criticized.

	“The thing is, you see… Well, you know, that church up there,
it...it...you know...it tells the truth, but it’s that terrible
spirit.”

	Isn’t it strange how our spirit is so terrible, and yet we know the
Word of God? I’d like to have some answers on that. I would.

30. 	“That which hath been is now: and that which is to be hath
already been; and God requireth that which is past.” In other words He
said, “Listen, I’m requiring of you that which is past.”

	You say, “Well....just...just...just...just...just...just...hold it,
hold it, hold it. How can God require of me what is past?”

	Simple as A-B-C. He told you, “That which hath been is now!” Look
back and see if the very thing hasn’t taken place before and is taking
place now. Come on! The ministry of William Branham is literally the
Jehovah ministry, Elohim ministry, in human flesh, as it was in
Jesus—and even greater! 

	“Oh, my goodness me! You...you just couldn’t believe...”

31. 	I never said William Branham was greater. I said, “the
ministry!” There’s an awful big difference, my brother/my sister.
William Branham never claimed anything. He said, “Jesus had more
success in my ministry than He had in His Own.” He never said he had
more success than Jesus. He never said he died for anybody. He never
claimed any divine influence that he could use as though he were
somebody. He said, “I wanted to be a trapper. Well,” he said, “it
was against my better judgment even. I didn’t want to be a prophet. I
didn’t want any of those things. I was just a voice that stood by, a
person near when He did it.”

32. 	How many people can take that? How many can really take it? This
is, you see, what divides the boys from the men, that divides the goats
from the sheep, that divides the phonies from the ones that aren’t
phoney, right down the line. What can you take with vindication? And the
laughable matter, why God laughs in the heavens in derision, is because
they can’t produce it! And it’s right here in the Word of God, like
I read out of Ecclesiastes. Right here, what I read out of John 9—one
hundred percent with it. And, you know what they’re doing? They’re
blaspheming the Holy Ghost. There’ll be no forgiveness on this side or
the other. Let people say what they want to say.

	Look, brother/sister; I am not God! I am not His teacher! I am not the
teacher! I am nothing, but hopefully, a little member of the bride of
the Lord Jesus Christ; and I have enough of the Holy Spirit to
understand the Word, to know a buzzard when I see a buzzard, (And I’m
not talking about people now.) and to be able to tell a horse from a
pig: in other words, just a little common sense, to stand right there
and know something’s going on and whether I’m a part of it or not.
That’s right. You can’t make yourself a part.

33. 	I’m going to tell you: before the White Light of God in this hour
that I’m trying to get across to you, we are before the White Throne.
The fact that Bro. Branham could read every heart and take every spirit
under control, lets you and me know that this is that hour. We have
already come into it. And, what’s a thousand years, but one day. The
actual fulfillment of the White Throne, which is started even now... If
that does not tell us that God reads every heart and knows every
thought, and we will stand in judgment in that day… 

	Now, remember; there’s only one people that’s not going to be blown
away like chaff in that day. And those are the seed of God. They’re
like the tree planted by the river. Leaves do not wither. The roots are
way down in the Tree of Life. They give forth the fruit in the season.
Seven season Church Ages, every single one, will be there. True Bride.

34. 	So, that’s what you’re looking at this morning, and I wanted to
bring you that, because I’m very serious concerning these things, that
many times, as we look at the sermons that Bro. Branham has brought
us… And I don’t have time to go back and weave every single thing
in. I want you to know, brother/sister, that what Bro. Branham brought
us is not something that is from man’s mind. It’s not something that
God is doing new. It’s something that God has always done. It runs in
a cycle. Alpha is Omega. It takes its turn. What has been is now being,
and we are told that God holds us responsible for understanding the
principle of Alpha and Omega.

35.	Now you might sit here this morning and say, “Bro. Vayle, that’s
okay for you. You are a teacher.”

	And that’s okay for some people—a lot of you. I want to tell you:
there isn’t one person here who believes that you are a part of the
bride of Christ, but you are responsible for understanding that premise
that Bro. Branham put forth, because it’s right here in the Bible:
“That which has been is now,” and you are responsible to recognize
it. Now, come on. I just read It in the ninth chapter! I just read It to
you. You are responsible. You can’t say, “I believe the Bible.”
“I believe Paul;” and turn down this. No way you can do it. See?

36. 	Well, Lord bless you. It’s going to fall on deaf ears as time
goes on; there’ll be less and less. People just simply can’t wait.
They’re going to start adding to the Message and figuring things out.
Most of them have gone back to Pentecost anyway. The trinitarians that
don’t know what that means, or the Jesus-Only and don’t know what
that means. And yet, Bro. Branham said, “I am not Oneness. I am not
trinitarian. I stand in the middle.”

 	“Oh, that means Bro. Branham stood there and plucked plums from both
sides.” 

	Oh, come on! Don’t take a vision he had and try to mess with him and
fool with him. The vision he had of plucking fruit was the Oneness
people and the trinity people. Some from both sides came in and believed
the Message, believed what he had to say, gathered fruit. 

	But he, himself, stood there. He was not Oneness. He was not trinity.
What was he? He believed in one God, period.

	And the crux was this: “Is there a God, the Son?”

	And the answer is, “No. There is a Son of God.”

	“Is there, then, God, the Holy Spirit?”

	He said, “How could there be?” On the grounds that people say
there’s two, he said, “My Bible tells me that the Holy Ghost came
upon Mary, that Jesus’ Father was the Holy Spirit. Yet he, himself,
said that God was his Father;” and he said, “Nowhere in history can
you find a child with two fathers.”

37. 	You say, “Bro. Vayle, those things are so simple. I don’t
understand how people cannot see them.”

	Well, my brother/sister, when you cannot understand that a chicken lays
eggs, and you can’t tell the difference between the chicken and the
egg, you’re bound to ask one question, “How blind can people be?”

38. 	And that’s my question this morning, “How blind can people
be?” Now, where’s that going to lead us? It’s going to lead us to
one thing, where Bro. Branham would say, “Get next to yourself.”
Begin to check what’s in your heart. Begin to check what is in here.
Check where your mind is—what you’ve let in there. I cannot conceive
this morning that any of us could esteem any riches on this earth
comparable to this revealed Word, because It’s vindicated to us,
whatever is out there.

	The God of William Branham: the One that answered back, the One that
identified with this Book, made us to know that this Book is living. I
may not grasp the full content or the full impact as though there were
greater impact to be grasped. But I know one thing: if this isn’t it,
I’m really not interested.

	“So, why not, Bro. Vayle?”

	See, there’s where I catch you, and catch the people that are out
there, and they cannot understand why I say, “If this isn’t it,
forget it. I’m not looking. I’m not looking.”

39. 	You say, “Bro. Vayle, your eternal welfare...”

	Hold it... Hold it! You see, you’re not resting your eternal welfare
where I am. You’re saying, “This was not vindicated.” You’re
saying, “That was not true.”

	Come on, now; I’ve got you over a barrel. You’re dead. You’ve
been sitting in your seats lying to yourself, and lying to me and
everybody around you.

40. 	Now, you see, this is the blow I struck this morning. It took
me...what? Twenty minutes to get there? Twenty-five minutes to get
there? Now, we’re going to separate the liars from the truth-tellers,
and there’s only one person can do it, and that’s you this morning.
Yeah. If not now, when? If not this, what?

41. 	All right, that’s it. Terrible announcements and maybe not too
good preaching, but the record’s straight. Got a song?

[Bro. Vayle turns the service over to Bro. Lloyd Lusk, who leads in
song.]
