His Name is in the Bride 

 

 Bro. Lee Vayle   -  October 11, 1981

 	Shall we pray, Heavenly Father, we are very grateful to be allowed to
assemble ourselves here this morning. We know, Lord, now that You're
here You have made it possible for us to understand and know that we
only pray now that You'll expand our understanding by grace to make it
exceeding, real exceedingly precious, so that not one moment is wasted,
which we know at this time it could well be, because we are not entirely
enthralled as we ought to be with the Reality. So much, Lord, that we
could have appreciate if we would take time and You would be with us.

	We ask You to cause us to take that time, Lord, if it takes the
breakdown of a system, or whatever it's going to take. And then, Lord,
by Your Spirit reveal to us of Your Presence, what It means, Lord. We go
into this in a way in, we appreciate the fact we can discuss these
things as to their letter reality, but we long for the moment when the
Spirit will come forth in that Word, and we become a part of It, and It
becomes a part of us.

	We yield ourselves to You this morning, Lord, that You might use us all
and speak through us. And we might be channels of blessing, and It may
be the truth in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. You may be seated.

	[Bro. Vayles makes some announcements] 

1.	Now, last Sunday we realized as before we have taught from Ephesians
1, that the Name of Jesus is in the Bride. That is what He inherited,
and that is what He gave to His Bride.

	Now, I want to continue in that thought, that vein, that His Name is in
the Bride. And that we caught that from the only verse in Scripture that
mentions exactly what Christ the Logos made flesh, inherited from the
Father. Even as only a son can and does inherit, or take that which is
passed on to him, was found in Hebrews 1. So, we'll look at that in
verse 4.

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

	And we found that also was linked with, or paralleled John 5:43 the
first part, where It says:

		(43) 	I am come in my Father's name, and (you) receive me not:...     
                          				(So, we see what He received of the
Father.)

2.	Now, let's just go little further and see that same Name that has
been pronounced to come in that hour in Isaiah 9:6.

		(6) 	For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government 					shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, 					Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The
Prince of 					Peace.

	And also in Isaiah 7:14, we read:

		(14) 	Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a
virgin 						shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel. 						(Which is interpreted 'God with us'.)

3.	Now, those expressions are fine. But let's go to Matthew 1:18-25 to
get the precise and exact understanding of what that Name is, and why It
is what It is. Why It is, what It is. All right.

		(18) 	Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his
mother 					Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she
was 						found with child of the Holy Ghost.

		(19) 	Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to
make 					her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

		(20) 	But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the
LORD 					appeared (to) him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
David, fear 					not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is
conceived in her 					is of the Holy Ghost.

		(21) 	And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
JESUS: 					for he shall save his people from their sins.

		(22) 	Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled (by that)
which was 					spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

		(23) 	...a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they 						shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,
God with 					us.

	Now, the Name Emmanuel is fine, "God with us." But you see, Jesus tells
why it is God with us. So we're getting the definitive here in this
Scripture.

		(24) 	Then Joseph being raised from sleep as the angel of the Lord had
						bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

		(25) 	And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son:
and 						(Joseph) called his name JESUS.

	So, here we see in Matthew 1:21-25, we get the precise and exact
understanding of what that Name is and why It is what It is, which is
Jesus, or Jehovah Savior. The Logos made flesh is Jehovah God come in
the form of a man. And we know that the compound titles of Jehovah refer
specifically to God relating Himself to man through the attributes that
lie in Him. That's in God.

	Jehovah of the Old Testament, is the Jesus of the New. Now, that's the
revelation that Servetus [1506-1553]  had when they burned him at the
stake. That's what the Angel of God said to Bro. Branham when He came to
him, and there's no one can really deny that.

4.	Now, over in Hebrews 1:1-3 it put very beautifully. 

		(1) 	God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past
					unto the fathers (in) the prophets, (not by, but in. Certainly it's
by, 						but He was in the prophets.)

		(2) 	Hath in these last days spoken unto us (in the) Son, whom he hath
						appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

		(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, when
						he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of 	
				the Majesty on high:

	Now, we'll take verse 3 first.

		(3) 	Who being the brightness of his glory, (even) the express image
of 						his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,
when 					he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand
of 						the Majesty on high:

	Now, this One born of Mary called Jesus by Joseph on the specific order
of God is the brightness outraying, shining, emanating of God, or that
which is seen of God, Who in Himself is invisible. See? Don't stumble at
the thought of invisibility. You cannot see Lee Vayle. There's no way
that you can see him. You're looking at the crust that he's living in,
but you can't see him. People get so bound up on these expressions. And
it's not that they're tripe, they're beautiful, they're elastic, they're
illuminating. If you just let your minds go, when you're going to have
to do that this morning to understand some of the things I'm saying.

5.	All right. He is the express image, or as the Greek puts it, breaking
it down, 'God Himself the etching instrument, literally etching Himself
on a figure'. So that, when you see the figure all you'll ever see of
God is what you see there. And therefore, what He is, God is, becomes
this One called Jesus Who then is absolutely the Christ in human form.

	I want to go over it: This One born of Mary, (that's the One that we
read over here in Matthew,) called Jesus by Joseph. You notice that God
did not call Him Jesus, God directed Joseph to call Him Jesus, just the
same as "God spake by the prophets." [Heb 1:1]

	All right. On specific order of God called Jesus, this One is the
brightness which is the outraying, the shining, the emanating of God, or
that which is seen of God, Who is invisible. God coming into
manifestation, this One that's called Jesus born of Mary by the Holy
Ghost is the expressed image of God. And that word 'express image' is
where you take an etching tool and you literally begin to etch.

	In other words, there must be a material in which you want to bring
forth what is in your mind. So therefore, God brought forth in Jesus
what He was. You follow me? Okay. And therefore, what He is, that is
God, is becomes this One called Jesus Who then is absolutely the Christ
in human form. Now, don't get caught up in that one as though that's a
lot of double talk either, because it isn't. Christ is the Anointing
that came out of God. So therefore, this One here is the Christ, and
He's in a human body. And He's absolutely unique. And you must
understand and try to deal with Scripture that give you an emotional
spiritual understanding. You cannot be simply what you might call
compatible mentally, nor can you only be sympathetic; you must be
mentally compatible. You must be sympathetic, you must be empathetic.
See? Then you're getting more into revelation.

6.	Now, we'll take the other two verses:	

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

		(2) 	Hath in these last days spoken unto us (in ) Son, whom he hath 		
			appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world;

	Now, God had a way of dealing with the people Whom He had created. And
now by foreknowledge and election had predestinated to be the ones to
Whom he would reveal Himself with Whom He communicates.

	Now, that's not a great big mouth-full like a Philadelphia lawyer,
listen carefully: God had a way. It tells you here, of dealing with
people Whom He had created. And now by foreknowledge and election has
predestinated to be the ones to Whom He reveals Himself with Whom He has
communication. 

	Now, how does He do it? Speaking. How? By possessing the prophets. But
in verse 2, "Hath in these last days spoken unto us in Son." There's not
even a pronoun there. I mean... what do you call them? Not a pronoun,
pronoun's not there, but neither is anything else. "Whom he hath
appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world."	

	Now, in verse 2 God is gone beyond prophets for the sake of redemption.
See? And He actually bypasses all men to become a man Himself. And thus
speaks Himself as a complete personal vessel. What complete personal
vessel? God Himself in a human form. This is perfect communication. This
is perfect communication. Did you hear what I said?

	God in the man. Not in a prophet. God becoming a man. Now, He was
speaking in the prophets, through the prophets concerning Himself for
the sake of the people. Now He's in the Son, therefore, if He is a man
and He's speaking in terms of redemption and revealing Himself, It must
be a perfection.

7.	Now, let's go to Scripture and see It. We go to 1 Cor 2:11-14. This
will help you understand why I said, what I said.

		(11) 	For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man
						(that's) in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the
						Spirit of God.

	Now, that tells you right there, what if you should get a combination?
What if you got man and God in one body? Then men could relate to you
the human, and God in the human could relate back to the man, what a
perfect combination. Perfect illumination.

		(12) 	Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the
spirit 						which is of God; that we might know the things that are
freely 						given to us of God.

	No way could that have been, accept for the Incarnation. And the same
One incarnated says, "I'm going the way back to the Father, and I'm
going to come back upon you." This gives you the understanding why He's
a faithful High Priest. We'll talk about that later. I've got to move
fast to get you out of here. Okay:

		(13) 	Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom 				
	teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual 					
things with spiritual.

	It puts man in the place to become one with God. How can you be one
with anybody if you've got a mental capacity lower and you can't
apprehend? 

8.	Now, they tell me marriages are very successful, because a man
marries down, and the woman marries up. Not in every case. But you can
see, you can see what that does. You got a balance in there hopefully,
but it's not the best balance. See? But you come with God. You've got
the perfect balance, because God doesn't marry down, and people don't
marry up in that sense. God became man, and in that area He opened up a
realm of perfect communication of Himself, and within them a perfect
realm of perfect communication with Him, so that we can know the things
of God that are freely given us. I mean know them. We're not talking
anymore about just hypothesis and some hypothetical theory here. 

	Now, It says:

		(14) 	...the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of
God: (certainly 					not, because he's not born again, they're)
foolishness unto him: neither 					can he know them, (they're)
spiritually discerned.

	But you see, this would not have happened unless God had taken on
Himself the form of a man, and a spirit of a man, so He could understand
man. See? How? Now, you get a mechanic, or an inventor makes a
automaton. Now, He understands mechanical parts, that's as far as that
thing goes. But if that thing had a spirit that inventor would have to
bring himself down to that spirit, or lift that spirit up to himself.
That's why it was that God came down and putting His imprint upon man,
He lift man up. Now you've got a beautiful and a wonderful unity here.
We're going to talk about sometime down the road in John 17 again.

9.	All right, I mentioned a High Priest. Let's take a look at Hebrews
5:1-10.

		(1) 	...every high priest taken from among men is ordained (to) men 		
			in things pertaining (of) God, that he may offer both gifts and 					
sacrifices for sins:

		(2) 	Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are 			
		out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

		(3) 	And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for
himself, 					to offer for sins.

		(4) 	And no man (takes) this honour (upon) himself, but he that is
called 					of God, as was Aaron.

		(5) 	So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest;
but he 					that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten
thee.

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

		(7) 	Who in the days of his flesh, (that's when He was living here as
an 						ordinary man,) 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;

	Now, you noticed it's a Son, part that's of flesh. The Fatherhood part
is a Spirit. See?

		(8) 	Though he were a Son, learned obedience by things 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.	 

	Now, you can see right there God in man. When He brought It that way,
He brought that perfect unity and He brought the understanding. He
brought the communication. He brought the illumination. 

10.	Now let's see if that isn't true. 1 John 1. See, we get (crock?) of
evidence here.

		(1) 	That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which 			
		we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, our 						hands
have handled, the Word of life;

		(2) 	(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear
witness, 					and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the
Father, 						and was manifested unto us;)

	Now, that word is a phaneroo which means, it was positively, genuinely
without doubt revealed in its true character. There is a Life of God
that's unmistakable. You say, "We'll who's seen that Life?" Nobody can
see life. Ahh, that's exactly right, read your Bible It tells about it.
That's why you've got such a mess at the end-time. See? Now:

		(3) 	That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that (we) 
					also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with 
					the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. (No man can get there 		
			without that One having become man.)

		(4) 	...these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

		(5) 	This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare 
					unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

		(6) 	If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness,
						we lie, and do not the truth:

	And It tells you right there, if you're off the Word, you're finished.
You can talk about it all the fellowship you want, all the born again
you want, you're out of it. In other words, we must remember as Bro.
Branham said, "The two spirits at the end-time are so close, absolutely
fool you."

11.	Now, I want you to notice something which could cause you a problem
for a moment. There's no problem to it. You heard me read over here in
Hebrews 1:2.

		(2) 	Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath 	
				appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

	Now, appointed heir is not the same as the fourth verse, no way. The
appointment of heir has to do with Hebrews 2:5-8.

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

		(6) 	But one in a certain place testifies, What is man, (you're)
mindful 						of him? the son of man that thou visitest him?

		(7) 	...(made) a little lower than the angels; (you) crownedst him
with 						(honor and) glory, and set him over the works of thy hands:

		(8) 	(You) put all things under his feet... (And so on.)  

		(9) 	But we see Jesus, made a little lower than the angels for the
suffering 					of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the
grace of 						God should taste death for every (son).

		(10) 	For it became him... (and so on.) 

	It tells you right in there that He was appointed to be heir on the
grounds, not of what is passing on from the Father to the Son which is
lawfully His, which would be that Name and the Life within Him. But on
the grounds of His faithfulness. See? The same as He became a High
Priest.

12.	Now, and that is because He died upon Calvary and rose again. That's
why He is in that particular position. That's why we read over here in 1
Corinthians 15:23, which I've gone into many, many times with you.

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

		(24) 	Then cometh the end... (and then everything begins to be put 			
		under his feet.)

	Now, He's appointed to that. You see? He's heir to that. In other
words, it falls His, because He paid a price. But you see, when it comes
to that Name initially bestowed upon Him, It distinctly says, "His Name
shall be called Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins,"
[Mt 1:21] and He hadn't done one thing about it. But He's called that
from birth. See?

	Now, so therefore, when the Name was proven that He had lived up to
that Name which we'll talk about, then He receives all these things
here.

13.	Okay, His Name is in the Bride then. That is what He inherited and
gave It to us His Bride. Can you imagine a woman not knowing, or not
wanting her husband's name? 

	"Well," you say, "I don't know that I..." 

	I know a person like that. Well, I know a person in Canada who wouldn't
take her husband's name. That's Joe Clark's wife. And he was the prime
minister up there. What woman would not want her husband's name? If I
had a woman like that, I'd never have her in the first place. She'd
never have me. You can see what men will settle for. God wouldn't do
that.

14.	In 2 Thessalonians 1:8, It says,

		(8) 	In flaming fire taking vengeance (or meting out justice,
separating, 						between) them that know not God, and...(those that do
know.) 

	That's why in chapter 2, there's a divorce. "Oh," she says, "I'm
married to God, I'm the Bride." Tell me His Name? What Name is in you?
She doesn't even know. 

	"I'm Methodist. I'm Presbyterian. I'm Baptist." That's exactly what you
are. And that's all you are. Blasphemous names. It said they don't know
God.

	"Now, I beg your pardon, people say we do know God."

	Are you making God a liar this morning? You better consider yourself.
There was a time they could make Jesus of the devil, and He said, "I'll
let you get away with it, but the day the Holy Spirit comes back that's
the day your name goes off the Book of Life because you said that." And
the Holy Spirit's back today. See?

15. All right, what Bride wouldn't know her husband's name or want that
name? It is the Father's Name, Jehovah Savior. All redemption lies in
It. And now all of It lies in the Bride. See? Remember the plan was to
redeem sons. That is why He was a man, Kinsman Redeemer. God became kin
to us through reason of the flesh, then gave us His life.

	All right listen, now we better just go back again to Matthew. And I
don't have to read It. Chapter 1:21-25, that's where they called His
Name Jesus, which of course is based upon Isaiah 9:6, and Isaiah 7:14 in
particular, because that's exactly the specification.

	All right, what I am saying is this: the only reason He can be called
Jesus Jehovah Savior, is because He is simply called what He is
intrinsically, or from His Own personal being. I ask you a question:
when you were named Paul, or John, or Bill, or Mark, or any other name
did that apply to you? No way. You weren't called what you were. There's
a lot of nice people called John Paul, two beautiful Bible names. How do
you know that John Paul today isn't the forerunner of the antichrist?

	Now, this One here was called Jesus, because that's what He was.
There's a difference, you see? That's why Adam was called Adam, because
he was earth, red earth. That's what he was. See? Got a big difference
there. He is the mighty God, Counsellor, Prince of Peace, everlasting
Father, Son of David. God with us. That's exactly what He was.

16.	Now let's turn to Philippians 2:5, and we'll pursue the thought.

		(5) 	Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

		(6) 	Who, being in the form of God,... 

	In other words, whatever form that God chose to avail Himself in as
Bro. Branham correctly said, "the en-morphe," that which strikes the
eye. God in Himself can strike no man's eye. So there's something got to
come out of Him. Where else would it come from if it didn't come out of
Him, so that you could see Him? Creating a veil.  

		(5) 	Let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus:

		(6) 	Who, being in the form of God, (the Logos, enveloped in a Pillar 
					of Fire,) thought it not (a prize) to be (grasped and retained to
be) 						equal with God: (Absolutely was.)

		(7) 	But made himself of no reputation, took upon him the form of a 		
			servant, was made in the likeness of men:

		(8) 	...being found in fashion as a man, humbled himself, became
obedient 					unto death, of the cross. (Now, we'll just let that go
there, but hold 						your fingers there.)

17.	Now Hebrews 10:1-11.

		(1) 	...the law having a shadow of good things to come, not the very 	
				image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they
offered 					year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

	Now, notice what It says here: "The law having a shadow of good things
to come, and not the very image of the things." But when you get to
Christ, you've got the very image. That's why the law didn't work. It
couldn't etch itself and imprint itself upon you, because you already
were dead. It was one dead thing striking another like a branding iron
on a piece of wood that was laying there for a century. When you're
dealing with Christ there's the etching power there. God transposing
Himself into a likeness, same thing happens with you and me. We're born
again.

		(2) 	For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that
the 					worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of
sins.

		(3) 	But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins every
year.

		(4)	 ...it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should
take away 					sins.

		(5) 	Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and 
					offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared (for) me:
(In 					other words, put aside those things that you know and start
looking 					at a body.)

		(6) 	In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin (you) had no pleasure.

		(7) 	Then said I, come (in the volume of the book it is written of
me,) to 					do thy will, O God.

		(8) 	Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings
and 					offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure
therein; 						which are offered by the law;

		(9) 	Then said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He (takes) away the 
					first, that he may establish the second.

		(10) 	By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the 
					body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Now, you're looking to the 				
	body for the sacrificial remedy that you need.)  

		(11) 	And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering
oftentimes 					the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

		(12) 	But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for
ever, 						sat down on the right hand of God;  

		(13) 	From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his
footstool.

		(14) 	For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are
sanctified.

		(15) 	Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness: after that he said
before, 					(and so on.)

18.	All right, now we look at that and also in Hebrews 2:9-18. I'll try
to put It together for you.

		(9) 	But we see Jesus, made a little lower than the angels for the
suffering 					of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the
grace of 						God should taste death for every (son). (Man is not in
the original. 						It should be in italics.)

		(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 of
their salvation 					perfect through sufferings.

		(11) 	For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all
of one: 					for which 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.

		(13) 	And again, I will put my trust in him... (and so on.) 

 	Now, let's go back and start over again by going to Philippians, not
reading the same thing, but continuing in 2:9,

		(9) 	Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, (gave) him a name 			
		which is above every name:

		(10) 	That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in
heaven, 					things in earth,...  

		(11) 	And  every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
(unto) the 					glory of God the Father.

19.	Now, the same thing back in Hebrews 10, which I think I actually
read It all to you, and we go to verse 12-14.

		(12) 	But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for
ever, 						sat down on the right hand of God;

		(13) 	From henceforth expecting (Now listen: from henceforth
expecting) 					till his enemies be made his footstool.

		(14) 	For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are
sanctified.

	Now, what I'm trying to show you here is this: that this One Who was
manifested in  flesh, this One Who was born and given the Name Jesus,
because He was Savior, then when He completed the work proving that He
was Savior the Name becomes magnified, He is the Savior and it's over.
See? It's over. You follow what I'm talking about? A completed work.

	So therefore, now stands that Name which the Father honors, because He
was the Savior. One offering did It all. Now the big question is, are
you full of the Holy Ghost? See, that's the big question. See, because
the sin part's been done. It's taken care of. He was to be the Savior.
He fulfilled It. Now what is He? The great High Priest, the Intermediar.
The Mediator, and the Intercessor. So there He is.  

	That is why He is Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today
and forever." The One Who in human form offered up His life in mediation
for the sins of man. Absolutely was that Savior and proven to be. For
God raised Him, and now that Name is above every single Name, and at
that Name every knee must bow and every tongue confess, and there's no
Name under heaven whereby you must be saved. Why? Why? Because He was
that Name. Then how are you going to get anything outside of that Name?
Now then, people just wonder why the Name of Jesus is so wonderful. I'm
telling you why.

20.	Now, you can't unidentify Jesus the man with what that Man was which
Logos made flesh, which they called 'Jesus'. But never forget, that the
flesh man was not originally and therefore can never be Logos of Itself.
Now, you're going to choke on that, because you didn't understand what I
said, I'll read it over again.

	Say now, you can't unidentify Jesus the man with what that Man was.
There's no way, because He's the One that died on Calvary. He's the One
that God raised. He's the One called Jesus, Jehovah Savior, saving the
people. You're not going to ever change that. And It was the Logos in
flesh. No way can you change It. But never forget, that the flesh man
was not originally, and therefore can never be Logos of Itself. Because
He wasn't there in the beginning as flesh. The flesh came thousands of
years later. That's why He says in Malachi 3, "I am the Lord, I change
not." And He says in Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
today and forever."

	Now, the spirit man what we're talking about,was Jehovah God. See? And
They were one, [slight pause] God in man. Now, that's a little bit tough
in a way. But it's not that tough. Because, Who is this One that's the
outraying of God that 's a human form? Jehovah  God, Jehovah Savior. And
you've got to identify Him. If He wasn't, then none of us is saved. The
Bible's a lie.

21.	Now then, listen carefully: in Acts 9 a Pillar of Fire struck Paul
down. Same Saul. And He said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"
That's what the Voice said out of the Pillar of Fire.

	And Saul said, "Who art Thou Lord?"

	Now, that word 'Lord' is Jehovah. "Who are You? Are You Jehovah?"

	Now, and the Voice said back, "I am Jesus." I'm Jehovah Savior. Jehovah
Savior in flesh is nothing but Jehovah Spirit in a Pillar of Fire. It's
the same One. You can't change them. Sure it's a little tough on the
mind, but you let the mind go and it's not so bad.

	Now listen, the Voice of Jesus in the Fire was the same Voice of the
same One in Hebrews 1:2. Now come on, let's go back and look at It. God
was in the prophets. Now:

		(2) 	...in these last days spoke unto us (in the) Son, (Where was God?
						In the Son.)

	And He was in the Son like He wasn't in the prophets, because no
prophet was the Logos made flesh. He was a human sperm and egg. This
One, was the Logos that literally stepped from the Pillar of Fire,
changing His form to a sperm and a egg that He created of Himself and
inhabited a Body that came forth by the chemistry of Mary. 

22.	Now, the Voice of this One here in flesh is the same Voice in Acts
9. Same Person. He was back to the Pillar of Fire. Let's go back to the
Pillar of Fire and see if It rings true.

	Exodus 3:1-6.

		(1) 	Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest
of 						Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and
came 					to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

		(2) 	...the (Messenger) of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of
fire 					out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the
bush 						burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

		(3) 	And Moses said, (I'll) now turn aside, and see this great sight,
why 						the bush is not burnt.

		(4) 	And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called
unto 					him out of the midst of the bush, (now notice, in one place
He's a 						Messenger of the Lord, the next place He's God. Same One.)
and 						(God) said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

		(5) 	And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy
						feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

		(6) 	Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham,
					the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for
					he was afraid to look upon God.

	Now, either this Bible give a true account or It's a lot of hogwash. So
therefore, when he was confronted with the Pillar of Fire, which was the
form that God had hid Himself in, he was looking at God, and a Voice
came out of It. Now that's great, see? Other prophets didn't have it
that way. The Pillar of Fire didn't always hang there, but that Spirit
of God would come upon them and in them and Speak forth from them.

	Now you see, what It says here that God is speaking in the Son. And
when He speaks in the Son having identified Himself, there has got to be
a report, a revelation, a communication that could not happen any other
way. Then let the Holy Spirit anoint the individual with whom God wants
to talk, bringing him through Jesus Christ in the process that God
brought him through. Absolutely that person will absolutely have to have
a genuine revelation of God. A genuine revelation, that Word, how in the
world can he say he's born again? Believe in three gods and every other
hogwash that's paganism.

23.	Now, let's just look at this fire of body, a fire of flames. Let's
take a little look at it. Let's take a little close look up. That's what
I've got in mind, hopefully. We go to Ezekiel 1:1 and 4.

		(1) 	...it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in
the 						fifth day of the month, (notice how precise) I was among the
captives 					by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and
I saw 						visions of God. (He did not see visions from God, though per
se that 					is correct, he saw visions from God, of God.)

	A guy could say, "I had a vision from God, of Hitler, of his armies
attacking Poland. Just assured as I stand here I'm looking at you, I saw
that with my eyes wide open sitting up in bed." That was a vision from
God. But was a vision of the armies of Germany invading Poland in 1939.
This is different, he had a vision from God and he saw God in a vision.
Do you follow me?

	All right, get your understanding straight. (Verse 4.)

		(4) 	And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, 			
		(and) a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, (living, twisting, 	
				turning, animated) and a brightness was about it, and out of the 			
		midst thereof the colour of amber,...(now amber is the color 					
absolutely signifying the Presence of the Holy Spirit, and) out 						of
the midst of the fire.

		(5) 	(And) out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living 	
				creatures... (and so on.)  

24.	Ezekiel 8:2.

		(2) 	Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: (now 
					listen) from the appearance of his loins (who? God) even downward, 
				fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of
brightness, 					as the colour of amber.

	Now, you say, "Did he see a man?" 

	No, he saw a Pillar of Fire that resembled a man that presaged, or
foretold a man.

	And he said, "From the loins down and from the loins up."    

	In other words, he's talking more or less about a symmetry of mankind.
Like he's upright, and you go in both directions. Down Pillar of Fire,
up Pillar of Fire. God's in the Pillar of Fire. So in the loins down,
loins up, there He is. Not seeing a man, but seeing that which waz lying
there.

25.	Okay, let's go to Revelation 4.:2-3. Going to see the same thing
identically. No problem here, because It's one God with One Spirit that
writes the whole Book.

		(2) 	And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was
set 						in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

[End of side one of tape one] ...interpolated as in italics, because
below It says,  

		(3)	And he sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone:
(Now, 					It didn't say he was made up of stones. He was like it.
What's he 						talking about? The same Pillar of Fire.) and a rainbow
(was about) 						the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

	And so therefore, he saw the Fire living and moving. Moving and living.
And it was amber, and It was a green color. Ambers and greens, not
blues. Not blues. I can teach you that and show you it's a blue light in
spirit in every single time, but you get somebody takes a little picture
with a Polaroid camera, a blue light, "how like God." You wouldn't know
God if you met Him in your soup bowl. Sure, that's the trouble. Here's
what It is, 'amber'. Greens, Pillar of Fire. An awful lot also like the
Urim Thummim, which means: 'this is the one that has the answers'.

26.	Going back now to Ezekiel 1:26-27.  

		(26) 	And above the firmament that was over their heads was the
likeness of 					a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and
upon the likeness 					of the throne was the likeness as the appearance
of a man above it.

		(27)	And I saw as the colour of amber, (notice, it never changes it's
the 						predominant color, the one color you look for is amber.) And I
saw as 					the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about
within it, 					(notice, he says, round about within it. Entwining, and
flaming, and 					living, (see?) moving. And if it is moving there's got
to be life somewhere. 				Something doing it.) as the appearance of fire
round about within it, from 					the appearance of his loins even
upward, and from the appearance of his 					loins even downward, I saw
as it were the appearance of fire, and it had 					brightness round
about.

		(28) 	As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day...
(same one 					he saw over the Throne) so was the appearance of the
brightness round 					about. This was the appearance of the likeness of
the glory of the LORD. 					And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and
I heard a voice that spake.

	Now, what was this?  The appearance of glory of the Lord. This was
God's Own estimation of His Own self as to how He should clothe Himself.
So when they saw It, they saw the glory of God. And when you ever see
anything come into being from God, you'll realize that that is the
absolute in estimation. Oh, that's why they couldn't stand Jesus when He
came on earth. No way, it wasn't big enough. It wasn't blazed enough.
Born in a stable over a heap of cow manure, or camels or whatever it
was. "Oh, He couldn't come that way."

27.	Bro. Branham hit it exactly right when they said, "Jesus should have
come on down with a golden carpet out of heaven, and descended down at
the feet of Caiphas, 'Oh, great Caiphas, I'm here to embrace you, I'm
the God of glory.' And Caiphas would have kissed his feet, his ankles
and slobbered on Jesus' beard." They'd have risen up and kicked the
Roman Empire out so fast you'd of wondered how one person could put an
army to rout. They'd have done it. But He didn't come that way. Couldn't
come that way. See? 

	People still can't understand what Bro. Branham preached about the
Pillar of Fire and the Presence of Him Who was flesh. Who went back from
flesh, to being the Pillar of Fire. Not that He's being a Pillar of
Fire, it's the veil, the Spirit within It. See?

28.	All right, now, this Logos, I'm looking at the Logos, the Pillar of
Fire that clothed that Spirit, and that Spirit came down and entered a
man. Then He left that man, and went back to His Pillar of Fire.
Perfectly legitimate. Merciful heaven, if I owned a house here in
California it's my privilege if I live here in California anytime I feel
like it. You can stereo-type God, He never changes, but you see, they
don't know this is one of the things He never changes. See?

	Now, this Logos that was coming forth out of God was living. It had
Life in Itself. That's right. You can tell It was, by looking at It. It
was moving. Animation. See? Now he didn't say, (now listen,) this man
Ezekiel did not say there was a wind that blew It, there's a whirlwind
came out of the north, because this Thing created a whirlwind. It wasn't
a whirlwind making that 'shoo, shoo, shoo'...[makes a noise] 

	I'm going to tell you something: you get a house that's set on fire in
a windy day. The wind only makes the fire grow brighter. But if there's
no fire, what's the wind going to do? But you get that house on fire,
not even on a windy day [makes a whistle sound] creates an updraft just
like that. See? So, don't get mixed up in your thinking.

	It was the Pillar of Fire, the Life within It moving, moving, moving,
was alive. Sure It was! Moses knew It was God. God called It God. See?
That's why He's called "a Consuming Fire." [Heb 12:29] Many other
titles, but He's actually a Holy Spirit, Jesus divided.

29.	Okay, John 1:

		(1)	In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God... 

		(2) 	The same was in the beginning with God.

		(3) 	All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing 		
			made that was made.

		(4) 	In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

	Over here in John 5:26,

		(26) 	...as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the
Son to 						have life in himself; (See, it's a different kind of a life
you're 						talking about. There It was.)

30.	Now, watch John 10:17-18.

		(17) 	Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, 		
			that I might take it again. (I've got life in Myself.)

		(18) 	No man (takes) it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I (got) 
					power to lay it down, and I (got) power to take it again. 						
This commandment have I received of my Father. (Now, He's 						telling
you right there what He has. He has that ability.)

	Now, then it's not strange if the Logos will inhabit a human being,
then leave the body and take another form on purpose due to a necessity
of the purpose of plan of Almighty God.

	Now, we watch John, (we read John)10:17-18. See? He said, "I've got
power to lay my life down, I've got power to take it again." And He
does. He comes back as a resurrected body. That is why the flesh of God
is Eternal and immortal. You getting what I'm saying? "I'm laying my
life down, I'm taking it again. I'm going to rise as an immortal human
being." You can't change that. No way! There was a beginning to It, but
there'll never be an end. See? That was way back there has become flesh
and It will never, never, never, never end.

31.	Now listen, life in itself, (now listen,) It was not the flesh that
went back to the bosom of the Father. It was the Spirit of God that went
back to the bosom of the Father. "I came from God, and I go to God." It
was the Logos that came out and went into Mary's womb that made that
flesh, that flesh was not in the bosom of the Father.

	But when He identified with that flesh, that flesh risen from the dead
can never die. See? And God can use that body anytime He wants. And use
that Pillar of Fire anytime He wants. And the One that said it, "I've
come from God and I go back to God."(See?) That was the Logos, It was
living in that body that He made was a tent for Himself with a purpose
of death. The flesh was placed on the Mercy Seat behind the Throne of
Rev 4:2-3 which we read. And you can read for yourself Rev 5:1-7, when
it came time to open the Book sealed it was a man that did it. Who was
it? The one that died and had the keys of hell and death and can die no
more. He was that One that was the body of the Logos, the same Logos
from Whom He took the Book of Redemption. The same Almighty God. See?

	Now, what is that One with Life in Itself is flesh doing? Read It in
Hebrews 5. He is the High Priest. He's the Mediator [to] bring us in,
He's the Intercessor to keep us in. Now, what is the Logos with Life in
Itself doing as pertaining to the Pillar of Fire? Now, we're
distinguishing between two. The same One that was in the tent of flesh,
in the tent of Fire. In flesh He redeemed. What's He doing in the Pillar
of Fire? Acts 2 tells you. Came on down, separated Himself, said,
"Anybody baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ can receive a
portion of Me."

32.	Now, that's being going over two thousand years, but today not that
it changed its course, but manifesting Itself more and more coming into
fullness. That same Logos is in the Bride today getting her ready for
the Resurrection. Eph 1:17-20. 

	And notice, that One even Christ before flesh had in Him all the seed.
Now notice, we're talking about the man, He's the Logos' tent. We're
talking about the Pillar of Fire, a Logos tent. What we're talking about
is the Logos in both tents. And we're talking what both tents, not what
the tents are doing really, but what the Holy Spirit is doing by means
of them. What is being accomplished.

	Now, we see in here that this One, even Jesus Christ, rather Christ
before flesh had in Him all the seed. Because It says in Ephesians 1:  

		(3) 	Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath 
					blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in
Christ:

		(4) 	According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of 		
			the world... (We were in that Logos before the foundation of the 				
	world. That's exactly right.)

33.	Now listen: then starting with Adam, the first son of God there came
flesh. Now not the flesh of Logos, but there came flesh. God breathed
into Adam His Own Spirit, the breath of lives. That's what It says in
Scripture. And Adam became a living soul. 

	Now listen: he was commanded to bring that same life in turn to many
sons for God, but he went to sex. So instead of man supplying the spirit
given him of God, and by God, and God supplying, or raising the bodies,
for man supplies the bodies, and God supplies the life in the seed. 

	I want to go over that again. He was commanded to bring that same life
in him, into many sons for God. Because, "Go out and replenish the
earth, be frugal and multiply." [Gen 1:28] But instead he went to sex.
So instead of man supplying the spirit given him of God, (now watch,)
you see, Bro. Branham which is Scripture, he's right in Scripture. God
formed that man and placed in him the spirit-being that Adam and Eve
were together.

34.	All right, now he said when He separated them, "Be fruitful and
multiply," [Gen 1:28] and they with that spirit within them, were
supposed to take that soil, or whatever, the elements, whatever, I care
less how it's all done. And they would breathe, they would not have
supplied the elements, they would have supplied the breath, the life.
But they went to supplying the body. You follow what I'm saying? They
should not of supplied those bodies. That was God's job to supply. Their
job was to enliven. Instead they went to sex.

	Now, for man supplies now the bodies, but what has God done to rectify
it? He has supplied the life in the seed. So God has not lost out. It
has been reduced to a seed that would eventually bring forth what God
wanted. You follow what I'm saying? Instead of fully grown, fully
manifested sons, that's out. You go through the process of sin, because
of sex. And you grow up with all your trial and error, and all your
beating down. But if you were in Adam, and he's the first one, and if
you were then way back there in that Logos which is a manifestation of
God, there'd have to be a manifestation for God to deal with Adam. He
reduced it to a seed, and now the body comes before a seed. If you
haven't got that right seed from way back there, you'll never be in His
image no way. No way possible. Even miss the White Throne judgment. You
follow what I'm saying?

	Man was supposed to do his job, he let God down. But now through, or by
Jesus Who is not a soul, but a Spirit. God redeems and returns men to
immortality. For by Adam came death to the flesh, and separation from
God, but by Jesus comes union and resurrection.

35.	Now, I know what I'm talking about, because I'm getting It right out
of 1 Corinthians 15:35. 

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

		(36)	(You) 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 (of) bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or some other
grain:

		(38) 	But God (gives) it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every
seed 						his own body.

	Now, you see what happened? They got into the wrong seed that brought
forth bodies. They should have been bringing forth life, and God would
have given it a body to suit it. You get what I'm aiming at here? I hope
you are, because listen, it's got to go back to originality. That's what
the Resurrection is all about. It's a body that God Himself gives it
because of the seed. See? That's why serpent seed messed everything up.
Now, there's one that's not all flesh. It's not the same flesh... and so
on. I won't go into that.

	[1 Corinthians 15:] 45-50

		(45)	 (As) it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the 						last Adam was made a quickening spirit. (That's two different
things 					there.)

	As living souls they were able to bring forth in the flesh, and they
did. But a quickening spirit doesn't bring souls forth, or people forth
in the flesh. Brings forth spirit. See, that's what it should be in the
beginning, because that's where God started. It's supposed to start in
the spirit. That's why any church that gets off the Spirit is finished.
Some never did start in the Spirit.

36.	How bankrupt are those who came out of organization and didn't
really change? I ask you, where does Seventh Day Adventist come from?
Where did Jehovah Witness come from? At least the Catholic church came
out of something original, before it got caught in its whoredom's. Well,
what about your Protestant and prostitute daughters? Ha, they took evil
from Ebal. Cults. See? There's only one people can have true living
bread. If there's going to be bread restored, you got to come by God's
method, God speaking in the prophets. Oh, people don't want to believe
that. Don't believe it. I don't care what you believe or don't believe.
They'll never make it. No way, because you don't believe God. You got
your own idea, go work it out. It'll bounce back on you what you
believe. Don't every think it won't come back, because it will. Your
revelation is you.

	That's the way it was with Jesus, He was God's Own revelation. And you
tell me you've got  a phony revelation and you're going to make it? I'm
depending on what God did in this age vindicated. Manifested. I wouldn't
trust myself or any cotton-picking bunch of creeds and dogmas. I told
you when I was a Baptist I heard three and four times a day from Baptist
head-quarters I finely said, "Merciful God, if I could hear from God
this often, I'd be the most spiritual man ever lived outside the apostle
Paul, and maybe beat him." I said, "Take my name off your books."

37.	All right, listen:

		(46) 	Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is
						natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. (It was supposed 	
				to be, but it didn't follow.)

	Now, I'm going to tell you something: Jesus would have done the same
thing, because there ain't no man going to stand up on this earth. No
man, and never going to make it. If He wasn't that Logos become flesh,
He would have flunked. Sure He would have. Don't tell he wouldn't have.
He would have been true to form, because He would have come the other
seed. Finished. He had to come by a virgin. If that doesn't prove
serpent seed, what does? See?

	All right, listen:

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

		(48) 	As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is
the 						heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. (Going to be
an 						entirely brand new race that comes up.)

	But, what's he talking about? Now let's keep reading here.

		(49)	 ...as we have borne the image of the earthy, (we're going to)
bear 						the image of the heavenly.

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

	Now listen: the image of the heavenly was? What was that Jesus the
expressed image of God a human being. Now, we're going to get that same
image in the Resurrection. How? Because God gives that original seed in
there the body that He wants. 

38.	Now, let's face it, Bro. Branham correctly said hundreds and
hundreds of times, "Every child is born by sexual desire." Oh, I know a
lot of people are...oh they're very moral and they've got very wonderful
ideas and they copulate, certainly they do with an idea of having a baby
at a certain time. But if you didn't have that sexual desire you
wouldn't copulate, period! Children are born from it. I'm reducing it
down to where it is. Then there's got to be some seed in there from way
back that the human doesn't have that God gave him. See?

	Now, "we've borne the image of the earthy." All mixed up. Now, "we're
going to bare the image of the heavenly."

	What was that image? Christ, made human flesh. He could not have been
killed. There's no way they could have destroyed Him. He said, "I give
my life, I lay it down. I take It up," and He did exactly. And He
sprinkled us to life that had that seed lying in us. And if and when we
die there's coming a day when He raises us to immortality, that image
then is perfect. And if we're living here at the day of the Change, we
go from glory to glory which is God's assessment. God's Own working as
was glorious under Luther. More under Wesley. More under Pentecost. This
Message ends in a blaze of glory which is many sons standing here in His
very Presence, and His very likeness, that's going to be wonderful.
That's going to be worth it all when I see Jesus. No! Not so much then
as when He sees Himself in me and it's glorified right here in the
Parousia.

	If you're waiting to get up there when you see Him, forget it, you've
done miss that too. You're simply a fundamentalist. Better line your
thinking up brother/sister. Not because Lee Vayle says so because he's
impassioned. Forget that. I could write on a piece of paper and hand it
to you. Cigarette paper, toilet paper, anything else. I'm rough, I'm
tough. I'm crude, I admit it. But you got to be these days to get it
across. Ain't going nowhere unless you're right. It's not your fancy
talk either.

39.	So, we see the Logos in the midst of the Bride. In Eph 1:17, that is
Rev 10:1-7. Especially to bring to pass Rev 10:6-7, which is that One
sworn by Himself that time has run out, and the mysteries are finishing,
they're all winding up under the Seventh Church Age messenger. Which is
in Rev 22:14, a Bride will walk to the Tree of Life and never die.

	Now listen, that One here is Jesus, Jehovah Savior, not incarnated as
per flesh, because 'carnus' means flesh, but indwelling a Pillar of
Fire. Now, almost every time you read the word 'Lord' in the Bible, It
absolutely is Jehovah. I just looked it up. I don't know why those
translators did that. Why not call Him what He is, Jehovah. Page after
page in the concordance all 'Lord'. Lord, what does 'Lord' mean? My Lord
and my master. My despotic supervisor. That's part of God don't worry.
It's Jehovah.

40.	Now, let's go back and take a look at Jehovah in Genesis 22, is
where Abraham is going to offer up his son which he does before Almighty
God. And then in the bush there is the ram that is caught by the horns
and becomes a sacrifice. And in 14-18, listen:  

		(14) 	...Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: (God 				
	Himself will supply,) as it is said to this day, In the mount of the 		
			LORD it shall be seen.

		(15) 	And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the 
				second time,

		(16) 	And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD,... 

	Now notice, God's His Own Messenger. People say they believe the Bible.
They don't believe this. They don't believe God's His Own Messenger. He
is, He's come on down. He's Jehovah. 

		(16)	...(I swore) by myself...because thou hast done this thing, and 	
				hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

		(17) 	That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will
multiply 					thy seed as the stars of the heaven, the sand which is
upon the sea 						shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his
enemies;

		(18) 	And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
because 					thou hast obeyed my voice. 

41.	Now listen, let's go to Gal 3:16, to get that absolutely explained
to us.     

		(16) 	Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. (As he) 				
	saith, not to seeds, as of many; but as of one, to thy seed, which 				
	is Christ. (And God here Himself is telling of the birth and death 				
	and Resurrection, and the power of Christ. Right here.) 

	And He said, "You've obeyed my voice." Who obeyed His Voice? He learned
obedience by the things that He suffered. "I've been given a
commandment, I'm going to do it. For this cause came I into the world."
Therefore, He shall see His seed.

42.	That's exactly, I'm going to read It next over here in Isaiah. Are
you catching what I'm trying to show you? Isaiah 53:10. (I've got to go
terribly fast to get it finished.)

		(10) 	Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him;... (Thou hast put him to 
					shame. And He stood there like a lamb and took it all.) ...when 			
		thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, 	
				he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall 					
prosper in his hand.

	He had to die and sprinkle the seed to bring it forth out of the
ground. He's going to see it. Amen, He's going to see it. You won't have
eyes for anything else either.

	Now, thinking of Gen 22:15-23, we've read It. Now listen, in there I've
read where God Himself called Jehovah supplying at that time swore
concerning Christ. The enemy is going to possess the gate, is that
right? The seed, (now listen,) that has not happened.

43.	Let's go back to Revelation 10.

		(1) 	And I saw another mighty (messenger) come down from heaven, 					
(and) clothed with a cloud: a rainbow was upon his head, and his 					
face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: (What's 		
			that? That One on the Throne, the Logos.)

	Now watch, and verse 6.

		(6 )	...sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created
heaven, 						and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the
things that 						therein are, and the sea, and the things which are
therein, that there 						should be time no longer:

	Now what's He done? He has come down and sworn again. The original
swearing was, "This in thy seed shall all nations be blessed, they'll
possess the gates of the enemy." It never happened. But it's got to
happen, when? When this great One the Logos comes down on earth and is
visible amongst us proving who He is. This is the hour that He sees His
seed. The dead coming out of the grave and we possessing the gates of
the enemy. That's what It says. 

	"Oh," you say, "that's Israel." You're a bit of a fruit-cake. Now you
don't know your Bible, you're sick spiritually. Abraham was no Jew, or
no Israel. Came out of Ur of the Chaldees. God took a man who could
encompass all who became a type. Get your eyes off the Jews, they've got
their own destiny. Nothing to do with you and me.

44.	Now listen, that One there that raised His hand and swore that all
these things had run out now, the Book of Redemption is down. 1
Corinthians 15, again we read: 

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

		(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... 

		(25) 	For he must reign,...

	Now, Jesus has got to reign, but God's doing the reigning now. Jesus
does not reign until the Millennium. God's doing it right here, bringing
all things under His feet. Bringing even death, for that's the last
enemy. All the enemies are coming under now. God who swore back there,
"Your seed shall possess. They shall overcome the enemy. The very
Scripture in Ephesians said, "When He raised Jesus, then we get raised
to where He is, we are going to 'in Him' have all things under our feet.
We'll possess the gates. All their strong-points, all their
strong-holds, He is here now to do it.

	In Eph 1:17-20, I've read It so many times you know It. Or you should
know It by now. So Jehovah is here to raise the dead, and to bring all
the seed or kindred into the Millennium, now watch; the gates of the
enemy. The last and great enemy is death; that is the gates of hell. And
as the devil in death was against the revelation of Jehovah in flesh to
bring redemption to souls and spirit, he is against the revelation that
Jehovah is here to raise the dead. And the victory over death and hell
that was started in 33 1/2 AD is about to be consummated, because that's
the first place they had the First Resurrection.

45.	Now listen, all that lies in Jehovah was manifested in that man
Jesus. And remember, He could be called that Name and inherit that Name
because the Life of Jehovah was in Him. Purely Jehovah. All that is in
Him and is in that Name and that Name is in the Bride. 

	Now, get that again: All thas in that Name was in Him from the Father,
and all that's in that Name is still in that Name which is in the Bride.


	[Firstly] In Him therefore in that Name in the Bride is immortality,
right at this 		point, immortality, because that's why He's here. 

	Secondly, in there is the Millennium. 

	Thirdly, in there is power and authority.

	Forth, in there is creation, though I don't know how we'll use it, but
it'll be used.

	In there is life over death. All that He is she is, and this is the
hour of revelation for it. All she needs for the Rapture is in His Name.
And It came in the Seals. The new name was in the Thunders. Now you say,
"Are you going to tell us what it is?"

	All I can say is this: you cannot add one Word to the Bible, you cannot
take one Word. I wouldn't have the least idea, but I still know:
"There's none other name under heaven whereby we must be saved." [Acts
4:12] And that Name in Redemption, and the Resurrection is part of It is
still Jesus.

46.	What I'm looking at here is this: I cannot add a Word or take a
Word. Bro. Branham never said it. I don't believe anybody needs to say
it. But get this one thing sure: that the revelation of that Name has
been given us, or declared to us in John 17:20. Beginning:

		(20) 	Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
believe 					on me through their word;

		(21) 	That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in
thee, 						that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe
that thou 					hast sent me.

		(22) 	And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they 
					may be one, even as we are one:

	Now, It talks about that oneness which you can only have through the
Name. Do you follow me? That Name is because you are that which is in
the Name. Boy, if you're not in the body of Jesus Christ, tell me what
you are. You body Methodist's, fine, go to Methodist. You'll get a good
idea what Methodist's like when you dig up the story on the woman that
Wesley married. Shoo! How much revelation did he have about anything.
She was mental, and God knows what else. I'm just talking now, it that
the kind of bride? Is that what we look at in Methodism? He fostered the
Methodist. I'm not against the Methodist. I'm just giving you an
illustration here. What about the Lutherans. I can tell you one thing,
they don't teach what Luther taught, because I've got the books. I can
go into a Lutheran pulpit right today and teach what Luther taught.
They'd say, "Get out of here, you're no Lutheran." 

	I say, "That's exactly right, and neither are you."

	I've got the books, don't kid me. Library's full of them. I want to see
what that junk is people talk about the Methodist. I can tell you Wesley
never taught the junk they teach. I can tell you that flat. I've got
some of his stuff too. I've got Fletcher, his theologian. He never
taught that stuff. I'm not much of a student.

47.	Listen:

		(23) 	I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one;
that 					the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved
them, as 					thou hast loved me. (That's an awful big love.)

		(24) 	Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with
me 						where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast
given 						me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

	In other words, that they may apprehend truly Your estimation of Me,
which is Your Own Self revealed.

	Now listen:

		(25) 	O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have
known 					thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 

	Now watch, here's what I'm aiming at:

		(26) 	And I have declared thy name, and will declare it:...

	In other words, I've done It once, I'm going to do It again. When did
he do It? He's doing It now. That to me is good enough for the new Name
until I understand It, or It passes me by. I don't know what God wants.

		(26) 	And I have declared thy name, and will declare it: that the love
						wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

	Now listen: without that Name in her declared, and a prophet declared
It. "I call you Mrs. Jesus, you're not longer Saints or Church, you're
Bride." You'd never get this. Why? Because don't you see that Name had
to be His Name, because that's what It was. That's why you can't be
called anything but Bride today, because that's what you are. Do you
want something else? Go ahead.

	Now, there is no end to It. It goes on into Eternity. Once we were
called Adam, now we're called Jesus. Our true identification has been
set to our seal by the Spirit Himself. You may not of thought of this,
but we are the true Jehovah Witnesses.

48.	Listen, don't think the devil didn't bring his scare-crows on before
the real happened. Before Mary, the virgin, had a baby by virgin birth,
for hundreds and hundreds of years women would visit temples with trap
doors where supposedly gods would come in. They were monks. Not Catholic
monks, just ordinary heathen. They copulated with the women, have a
baby. "Oh," they'd say, "I'm a virgin. The spirit had intercourse with
me and I got a baby," Get millions of them. Women have always been the
pawn of men. God have pity on the poor women. The ERA and the whole
bunch of things just makes them worse shape and everything. They should
rise up in dignity to keep their vessel holy, they would get somewhere.
Never mind what a man wants. If he wants it, let him go out there and
buy it from a harlot!

	I speak to young women here, keep your vessels in. You men, keep your
vessels or God will judge you. The virgin birth was defiled through
mythology. And when He came, the true virgin born they said, "Ha,
phffft! We've been through that thousands of times for hundreds of
years, forget it."

49.	In 1914, Jehovah Witnesses said, "We are...(before that) we witness
to Jehovah." They don't. They don't know Who He is, because they make
Jesus a simple creation of God. He's the Logos, the Attributes of God.
You show me attributes without a life and I'll eat it. Where did they
come from? Then they said, "He's here back in 1914, but He wasn't. He
didn't start manifesting until 1933. We had the scare-crows and you'll
have more.

	We alone have the Bridegroom for we're Bride. It is time to possess the
Kingdom. It is here as in Luke 17, and the Pharisee when he was demanded
when the Kingdom of God should come, he answered and said, "The Kingdom
of God cometh not with observation." [Lk 17:20] It'll be here, but you
won't even know it. It'll be under your noses you won't recognize It. I
can prove what I'm saying. For they shall say, 'Lo here, or lo there, or
behold the Kingdom of God is right in the middle of you'."

	 Run here, run there, that's what the churches are doing. Running,
running, running. They can't hold still for the First Resurrection.
They're going to miss It. Are you that way this morning you can't hold
still? Don't tell me this church hasn't had people like that! Every
church's got three kinds of believers. You say, "Bro. Vayle, pick them
out." Don't be ridiculous, God only knows who are His. I don't know if
I'm His either, by faith I believe. "Foundation standeth sure, God
knows." [2 Tim 2:19]

50.	I'm asking you one question: can you stand still? If you can't stand
still I'll tell to your faces you're not going to make it. Do you hear
what I'm saying? I've proved it. The time of the Resurrection. If you
didn't hear the sermon, get the tape and listen to it, and you'll find
out if you can't stand still.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, you're terribly nervous and you get around."

	But, I'm not at all that way. I do stand still. I've got no problem.
Not a bit. Way back when I discerned I could get as calm as a piece of
ice. You couldn't throw me if you tried. You won't do it now. The world
can't stand still. When they saw Jesus they ran with their own ideas.
When they saw John they ran. When they saw William Branham the greatest
ministry. Look, I've had the books in my hands. Don't talk to me unless
you've read the same books I've read. And mine have been authentic. I
don't know what kind of junk you've been reading. Not that I want to run
your books down. But look, I've got the histories, had it in my hands. 

	You'll never find a  ministry like Bro. Branham's. You won't find in
years what I saw in a few minutes under his ministry. Which was meant
only one thing: proving that God is here to reveal Himself. The world
missed it. Back there they missed it. The King was there. Their King was
God. Remember? And the King stood there and they said, "We have no king
but Caesar. That's right. They blew it, right in the middle of them. "We
don't want him." They missed it.

51.	Listen, "Then shalt thou call His Name Jesus, for He shall save His
people from their sins." [Mt 1:21] They missed it. And it was John the
Baptist to turn them to the Lord their God to get them ready that Jesus
Who had saved the people from their sins could be recognized, they
turned it down.

	And now Elijah has come to bring that Name before us and identify the
Spirit amongst us, to save us from wrath to come and death, and turn us
to the understanding of the wisdom of God. Once more the Name Jehovah
Savior is placed, but not in Jesus. That's been done. It's placed in the
Bride. I know you don't understand it. I know it's beyond your thinking.
You don't think I'm preaching beyond myself? Brother/sister, you've got
to be kidding, I'm going to preach beyond myself until God answers it
back to me. And if it's a revelation I'm seeing in here that coincides
with the truth, what is in here will come back on me. We've been told by
the prophet, "I don't call you Church anymore. I don't call you saints,
I call you Bride." Why? The Bride's married.

 	Joseph was married to Mary already. The word 'espoused' means
'married'. Bro. Branham uses one place 'engagement', but other places
it's marriage, and it's marriage. You look up in the Greek and you look
up in your dictionary. It's marriage. I have married you. I have wedded
you... [end of side two of tape one]...turning back this time. No way.
The Name is in the Bride.

	Listen, why not? She is His body. Then what should she be called?
"You're going to bare a son." A bare what? A body. What's His Name?
Jesus. What's His body today? She's His wife. Is she ashamed to take His
Name? They are one, and this is that hour that she is all things to Him.
And she is filled with the all things of God. 

52.	That's enough, that ends it, till next Tuesday. Stay home if you
want, I'm going to preach it anyway. I'm serious. I don't fool people. I
know I'm telling you the truth. I know God is going to get back to what
I'm saying. You think I'm kidding? I'm not kidding you. I haven't lied
to you and I don't intend to lie to you. And I'm not a world beater. And
I'm not a nice sweet wonderful guy with all the multitude and His
graces. I'm not talking about Lee Vayle, and I'm not talking about
people anymore. I'm talking about Him Who stands amongst us and what He
said He'd do for us. Trouble is, people don't realize "He's the
altogether Lovely." [Song 5:16] All lovely beautiful quality.

	They get scared off by the scare-crow. They're afraid to stand up and
be counted. I'm going to tell you something brother/sister, the gates of
hell will not prevail against the revelation that He is here. And He has
opened the understanding of our hearts, and He has put the ring of a
spouse upon the Bride, and He has given her His Name. No wonder she'll
walk right pass death into the Tree of Life, because He was called
Jesus, because, because.

53.	Go ask your mother's, why did you call me John? Why did you call me
Mary? Why did you call me Ann? Why did you call me Martha? Why did you
call me Hope? I feel very hopeless. Why did/didn't you call me
Elizabeth, I'll never qualify? Ann can't either, because she was a
prophetess. Any Simon's? Simeon's? Ask them why they called you that. A
whim. A whim in the human race. But Jesus was not called by a whim. He
was what He was called, Jehovah Savior.

	My, what a Name the Bride has, been given us. What a Name under Heaven.
Who would need another Name? Who would look for something else? Who
would want something better? Yeah, Mrs. Jesus. Yeah, when He said it, it
didn't...it just sounded kind of cute ..?... What is this? But not
anymore, we're beginning to know.

	The Lord bless you. I'm kind of rough, but don't mind that. I'm a
thousand times rougher on myself than I am on you. You don't believe it,
ask my wife. I know what's it's all about in this respect It's real
brother/sister.

54.	Theory, which never has been theory. Doctrine by Word which is
correct has given way to the Life that set It forth until the Word is
becoming flesh again. And this union is going to bring Him back to
earth. It's going to. Don't think for one minute it won't, look. I know
we can say, hey, and we do because we try to be very careful. 

	If the Lord should tarry...we shouldn't even bother saying that,
because He's already here. You might say, "Well, if He should delay
those events." He won't, everything's right on time. It's us that are
delayed or previous. But He's here this morning united with the Bride.
Brother/sister, take advantage today to believe everything that's said
in His Word concerning what we have in Him and He is us at this hour.
Take advantage to stay with It, until God anoints It back to you, and He
will, because there is not one Word that is void of power.

	Listen, if that is the case, what Word is above every name in the
entire universe? Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Do you follow me? Lord bless you,
let's rise. [Some announcements made] 

	Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You that we have had our time of
fellowship this morning around Your Word, and myself, Lord, I feel extra
good about it. I could be wrong, but I don't believe I am, Lord, and I'm
not going to say I'm wrong unless You would do something drastic, and
You haven't been doing that for a long time now. You have been speaking
hope, encouragement, faith and love, and all those things, my God, which
we haven't always fed were Yours and extended toward us, and today we
say, "Yes, yes, yes mighty God."

	There's hasn't been one Word failed, and there will not be, and we're
believing this morning, Lord, that we are that which You have said. We
are the Bride, the Mrs. Jesus, and many, many more like us scattered
here, and scattered there, Lord. We don't arrogate to ourselves up, a
unity withYou. to geographical location, but a spiritual location which
is in Christ Jesus our Lord. That Holy Spirit speaking in hearts this
morning as Bro. Branham said in Africa, Australia, New Zealand, England,
and all the places around the world there is someone there, Lord, and
You are now in the midst of those people. 

	Oh, we thank You for it, Lord. Oh God in Heaven, I'm anxious, Lord, and
I know of myself I'm not anxious enough. Prevail Thou great God, prevail
upon us, until our anxiety mounts, Lord, to a fervor that we must stand
still before You. Open our hearts and our minds to this one great and
marvelous truth of which the gates of hell cannot prevail against. You
are here and the same yesterday, today, and forever, for which we thank
You.

	Now, Lord, be with each one, keep each one, bless each one, guide each
one, bring us back together, Lord. I pray, my God, for the one reason to
get deeper in Your Word, and deeper within Yourself, Lord, because I
believe with all my heart, heavenly Father, that You will anoint that
which is correct. I believe that.

	Now, Father, forgive us for maybe any harshness that I've displayed,
which I do at times,      in fact too much of the time. Pray You will
forgive, Lord, may the people understand that not speaking in personal
things to any one person, but speaking in terms of principles, O God,
which I must admit myself am so neglectful.

	So, Lord, forgive us we pray. Forgive us...it seems such a shallow
thing to say, forgive us in the light of the realization of what is
here. Merciful God, surely we can arise to the occasion more than ever
before. Merciful God, our own hearts we're pleading with You that
whatever lies within Your grace and within this hour to do. Do it Lord,
whatever it make...whatever it costs, whatever comes back upon us so
that we would shake these things that must be shaken. To stand in that
which cannot be shaken. And, Lord, do that for us and we'll praise You
for it. As we've learned recently, that there is a...O God, there is a
wonderful place where You just bring us right to where we should be, and
we're so grateful for it. It's just wonderful, and we thank You. Now,
Lord, bless everyone, youngest to oldest, in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
The Lord bless you.

	'Take the Name of Jesus with you'.
