Investigating Judgment #2 February 23, 1983 Let us pray, Heavenly Father, we're glad again to approach Your Throne of grace and mercy to talk with You, and know that You've already communicated with us, and to us by Your Word, Lord, which we are grateful, and we give that same Word back to You, Lord. We're so glad that You’re here in the fullness in the Person of the Holy Spirit, that our God is in the midst of His people. Our God reigneth, our God has judged and cast judgment now in favor of His people. These things, Lord, we are aware of them, we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. We praise You, O God, that you bill us up in the most holy faith as we look to You, coming to that place, Lord, where perhaps Rapturing faith certainly is taking a hold and we thank You for it. Now, help us in the study, Lord, bless us together we pray. Bless those who cannot be here my Lord we pray that You will be with them, to heal and deliver in whatsoever manner is necessary, or to give strength in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. You may be seated. 1. Now, I'm going to re-cap. Now, last Sunday, this is a re-cap then of 'Investigation and Judgment' Now, you noticed and read this in several places, especially Bro. Branham mentioned what people call the 'flying saucers, UFO's, that he called this 'an Investigating Judgment.' And we were looking at the Word here back in Genesis 18:21, is what we'll look at. And in there God says: (21) I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. (22) And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. Now, you noticed that the first of all that the Lord gave His attention to Abraham. That's what we're looking at. And He gave him the assurance of the promise that the Son would appear physically upon earth at a certain specific time. And what He was really doing was making Abraham aware of the hour of the promise, which promise had already been given. Which really was the foreknown Word of Almighty God way back in the dim eternity before there was even a speck of star-dust. And then Abraham says in verse 23: (23) …Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? (24) Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city:… Now, all through here you'll notice that Abraham is really asking a question that…well, it's legitimate, because you are a part of the civilization in which you live. You were part of the church out of which you came, and you're a part of humanity. And you have here the understanding that God has dealt with you, and God is going to deal with the wicked. And this question here in Genesis is the same question that is posed today. "Do the Saints go through the Great Tribulation?" 2. Now, the word, 'through the Great Tribulation' is a bunch of hogwash. Because, the understanding of the Scripture at this point is nil. There isn't anybody that goes through the Great Tribulation, they die. So, this is the thought. This is the truth, do the righteous perish with the wicked in the Tribulation? No! Now, if they just went back to Genesis, you wouldn't worry whether Wallrud(?) (and of course these are old timers you wouldn't really know nothing of) and the late Charles Fuller, and Shaffer, and all these guys…well, you could almost Moody in there, but really not Scofield and the whole bunch of them. The argument comes up, "Do the saints go through the Great Tribulation?" Well, here you are, certainly not! The righteous…of course, they do not perish with the wicked, but of course as you understand, I just told you that the fallacy is the believe there's such a thing as people going 'through'. Well, not really, because they don't go through, they die. See, because everything is purged. And then it's cleansed with the fire. And so he asked the question which is very good to ask today. "Will the righteous perish with the wicked?" And the answer is: "categorically no!" 3. Now, also comes the understanding if they would go back and look at their Bibles and know that Genesis is the seed where God formed that which went into the ground, and must come back at a future date, (right?) when everything is a harvest. And the question then would be asked and say, "Well now what about this great visitation that God came down and did this great thing, so that Abraham was privy to the plan of God, and he was assured that he was a part of the Rapture; and that he knew the hour in which he was living?" Well now, all you got to do is think in your mind, "The Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a Shout with the Voice of the arc…" [1 Th 4:16] But, they're not going to do that. See, they can't put it together, because He's not the same yesterday, today and forever, He's the ever changing God. If I had a God like that, I wouldn't want a God like that. My wife and I have enough trouble with just us, forgetting. Never mind changing our minds and drawing up new plans without telling the other person, which I'm pretty good at doing. And she's kind of getting used to that, but I think she's…well, she'll never will get used to it let's face it. But, you just have a God that does things like that. In no way shape and form. 4. So, what we were looking at on Sunday was attempting to show you how that when God comes down at this end-time in the form of the Holy Spirit as the Son of man which also is mentioned in Luke and in Matthew, "as is was, so it'll be in the days of the Son of man, as in the days of Abraham and Lot." It tells you right there, taken back and see what it was, It was God in the form of human flesh. Which God in the form of human flesh always is a prophet. Because God was in the prophet. Now, we look at this picture then, (or we look at the present situation) that the Holy Spirit God comes down and He is going to deal with His children, and at that time it is going to be in the spirit. And He is the great prophet, He is also the Judge. Now, with this you understand that it was Elohim that came down to Abraham. 5. Okay, Who is Elohim? Elohim is the One Who becomes. He's not just eternal God. He's the One Who becomes. In other words, He is the One Who is constantly revealing Himself, what He is at that particular time. Like for instance: if there's a great divine healing campaign going on. And the Pentecostal's are very good at that, and we appreciate them for it. And one of these men comes to town and the Baptist the say right away, "Hey, that ain't going to work." Why? "That's the revelation that God's the Great Healer is here." No, the Baptist don't want that. No, no, no. No, let's face it, "Bless God, if it's good enough, bless God, if He even dies upon Calvary it's good enough, bless God, if we get born again." And he ain't no more born again than a pack of sawdust. How can you be born again and turn down Elohim, the God Who becomes? Now, Elohim comes down, now, He's in the form of the Son of man, Holy Spirit, Pillar of Fire dealing with the prophet. 6. All right, at this particular time within Him lies the elements of the Judge. So, at the time that He is the Prophet, which He was before Abraham, (notice what It says over here later,) "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" [Gen 18:25b] Now, you'll notice that Abraham has an understanding of the sovereignty of God, (the greatness) he has an understanding of the principles of prophecy, which is the Word of God forthcoming. He has an understanding of God on the scene at the appropriate time which is necessary to bring that particular Word, and manifest Himself in that position. So, he has the understanding that this One here is the Judge. He is judging between righteous and wicked. And you will notice then, he calls Him Judge. 7. All right, Elohim then, what we looked at, we were looking at Him in the light of the under-standing that He was becoming Judge. Now, the reason we say He was becoming Judge, is because when He turns from Prophet (in the Spirit) and flesh priest (in the flesh) then He intrinsically becomes Judge. Why? Because there isn't any more grace and mercy, because the righteous have been taken care of. So therefore, now the penalty must come forth with the righteous taken off the scene. All right, the foolish virgin must be purged. The church must be purged. The earth must be purged. Israel's got to be purged right down the line. Of course the foolish virgin comes under the church, because they're right back in there. (See?) Because you see, the oil ran out. Now, (I'm mixing everything up here, not following my notes, but I'm going to get to my notes after a little bit, if I think I can find it.) Judge…we're at the end-time. 8. Listen: What the Holy Ghost does, (that's what the Holy Ghost does) the Holy Ghost by justification, see, just a light shadow of It. The Holy Ghost by sanctification a little deeper. Now, here's why he says this: [What is the Holy Ghost 12-16-59] [36] Now, the Spirit of God has worked under justification under Luther, sanctification under Wesley, baptism of the Holy Ghost under Pentecost; and here It is in the last day performing and doing the very same things that It did when It was in Christ…. Now, you see, that's a different, you're into a different category there. You see, He's becoming. But as He becomes, He doesn't lose anything. 9. Bro. Branham explained that. "Why," he said, "Look (he said) I stand here (he said) now (he said) I was sixteen years old, I was a boy." He said, "I got married, (he said) now my son was in my loins, (and he said) but by through the bedding grounds, through holy matrimony, my son comes forth we have fellowship. Now, (he said, first thing) my son gets married and he has a child, now (he said) I'm a grandfather. Now (he said) all right (he said) look, I've been a son, and now (he said) I'm a husband, and (he said) I've got a daughter and a son, and I cannot be husband to my daughter, I'm her father, and I cannot be father to my wife, (except in the gospel) which I'm her father in the Gospel." And he qualified it. "Now, (he said) here (he said) now I'm grandfather. But (he said) you noticed I'm the same person." But, he's going through the appropriate stages of life which manifests what he is at that particular time to the occasion. Well, we got the same thing here. He says here: … he's doing the very same thing It did when It was in Christ. What is it? The church and Christ has become One. As soon as They connect together, the last link, she'll go through the sky shouting. Up will come Wesley… Now, it sounds like she'll go through shouting, while up will come Wesley. He's not saying that. He's got his chronology kind of messed up here. But, what he's telling you here is: that this happened before the Resurrection. Now, in other words, the Spirit of God is right back doing the same thing It was doing in the ministry of Jesus Christ Himself. 10. So, the fullness of the Godhead has come back bodily once more into the Church. (See?) And manifesting within the Church. Now, he said: …Up will come Wesley, Luther, all the rest of them back in those days. He that's first will be last; (and you see, he clarifies his erratic chronology) he that's first will be last; he that's last will be first; and there'll come the resurrection… Well, you see, the whole thing is kind of a hodge-podge, what he's telling you here positively is, the Spirit of Christ, the fullness comes into the Church having come up through this series to where it is right back to what that Spirit was in Christ Himself standing in the midst of the Church, the way he stood to Israel. And He stood to Israel at the end of their age, then He stands at the end of our age. (See?) He did just before He took them off the scene. Now, He's going to do it again to us. And the last removal is when he stands bodily once more to Israel. Because, He never was body to the Gentile. How are you going Him back here in the body to the Gentiles, if He wasn't Alpha in the body? He was Alpha in the body to Israel. Then He's got to be Omega to Israel and the whole end comes up. This is a spiritual connotation we're dealing with here. 11. Now, at the end-time, here He's in His place, and all of these things has transpired, so… All right, now, he talks about the Holy Spirit. [Desperations 09-01-63] [9] He followed (it the Token) in every age. [10] Every age He's followed that to see that It's brought forth. (That's what's under the Blood.) And they could not be made perfect without us. And now, the entire Holy Spirit visits the church making God in human flesh as He did before Sodom, the burning there, where Abraham was a type. 12. All right, so having laid our principle there, I want to also remind you that last Sunday we read over into the 'Patmos Vision' [12-04-60] , and I think it might be page 124, okay: [104] All right, the Sun of righteousness with healing in His wings." Now, His countenances. He was a Judge… Now, notice: now you see you can read this and miss this if you don't know what we're talking about. I want to ask you a question, (and anybody answer me that want to. Not women don't usually answer out, so we got to kind of stay to Church Order, you just sort of grin, because you know the answer,) all right, now listen: where is the Sun of righteousness mentioned? S-u-n. What Book? Malachi! Absolutely. Now, the Sun of righteousness arising with healing in His wings," signifies what? Brings what? [Someone says something] No, well it does, but it's something else. [Someone says, "immortality."] Immortality, that's what we want. Because you see, He's rising, it's in the time of Elijah. And Elijah has nothing to do with the dead. Well, I've got plenty to do with you, and I hope you have, and none of you are dead. See what I'm trying to get to you? Elijah doesn't go to the graveyard. Elijah is the one who calls out a Bride through the instrumentality of the Holy Ghost, which is given to him. God calls a Bride through the instrument of a man. Put it that way if you want. It doesn't matter how you put it, as long as you get it right, and you're right in both cases. 13. It says here; All right. [104] "the Sun of righteousness with healing in His wings." And he says, Now, His countenances… Now, he's talking about what? The various expression and what they mean in His seven fold glory. And now He is included through the Holy Ghost in this prophet, because this is not in the Book of Revelation per se. But if it's Malachi 4, it's got to be in the Book of Revelation. All right, he told us the Revelation 10:1 was categorically Revelation 1:12, which is same as Revelation 5:1. Now, by this time you should be thoroughly cognizant of where those Scriptures are and what they say without me repeating them. (See?) All right. "the Sun of righteousness arising with healing in His wings..." Now, it sounded, He was Judge, or another thing to show that he was over into the Lord's day. Do you believe that? He went over into the Lord's day and saw the Lord as Judge; not as priest, not as king, but as Judge. He is Judge. (Now notice, he said, "not as priest.") Don't you believe that? The Bible says He's Judge. And here He was all dressed as the Judge, showing what He'd done, what He was, what He was to the sinner, and what He was to the Christian. Now, he brings that all out in the seventh-fold revelation like the voice of many waters, and things like that. (You know) You read it yourself and you heard it. Perhaps if you haven't heard it, you read it. And here He stands now with the voice of many waters, and His countenances was the sun shining in its strength. [105] … I fell at his feet as dead... he laid his right hand upon me… Now, you notice right there, significant at this time that death is on the earth, but is overcome by His Presence. All right, now, you noticed what I read here, "Sun of righteousness," that's to the Bride, Judge, yes, also to the Bride, but not unto condemnation. (See?) 14. Now, over here on page 124. [110] Oh, it's breathtaking, friend. See Him standing there in the supremity of His Deity. (Or His supreme Deity) He's the Judge, the Priest, the King, the Eagle, the Lamb, the Lion, the Alpha, the Omega, Father, Son, Holy Ghost; (That was, that which is, and shall come.) Now notice, He's standing there in the complete incarnation. In other words, every single thing that God ever was and it, absolutely manifest Himself in the Son, because He is the entire, and the wholeness of the attributes of Almighty God in flesh. Poured in there. Now, what I'm hoping what you're beginning to see here now is, the fact that we are looking from the hour of Luke 17:20-30, where He is the Son of man, which is the prophet, and He had to be, because He couldn't be the prophet without being the Son of man. Now, that's over in John 5:22,27. Okay, and He said: (22) For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: Now, just a minute, didn't Abraham say way back there in Genesis 18, the Judge of all the earth? Now you see, you know what? I'll tell you what: the Son says, "The Son doesn't say anything except the Father tell him to say it. The Son doesn't do anything, except the Son is quickened to do it by the Father, so the Father does it." 15. So all right, what is He telling you here. He's telling you here the very same thing I believe you'll find over here in John 16:7. (7) Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. (8) And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Now, notice what's going to happen there when the Holy Spirit comes. He will reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. (9) Of sin, because they believe not on me; (10) Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and (you) see me no more; (11) Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. Now, if you want to make the prince of this world Satan, you can do that, it wouldn't be too difficult, (see?) he's already been judged by the fact of his death has been sealed, because of what Jesus did. But, you also remember that Jesus is the Prince of the kings of this world too. He's the King of kings. So therefore, what they were and had judged Him dishonestly and un-honestly, because they never had any honest in them, didn't have the truth. They didn't have the revelation so they condemned Him. Now, It says here at the time the Holy Spirit coming, He actually constitutes a judge. All right, verse 27. (27) And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Now notice, He said he's given Him authority to execute it. In other words, not just merely to pass sentence, but to bring the sentence to pass. He enforces it. 16. All right now, Bro. Branham tells us: "When the Holy Ghost that we have becomes incarnate to us, the One that's in our midst now if the form of the Holy Ghost becomes incarnate to us in the Person of Jesus Christ we'll crown Him King of kings." Now, that's over in the First Seal on page 161. Now, he tells you…now he doesn't tell you that the Holy Spirit is indwelling you. He says, "The One that's in our midst now." And if He was before, He was there when He came down the ring of Angels. Because Bro. Branham saw Him as Judge. Now, he categorically says, "When that One is made incarnate to us, (in other words, the Rapture's taken place) He's preceded us and incarnates Himself in the body again, He's King of kings and Lord of lords." But, He's Judge. But, He's King because now having giving the Word and passed sentence He's got power to carry it out. Now, He's none less the Prophet. He's no less the Redeemer. He's no less the Healer. He's no less the Judge. He's no less the King. He's no less the Lily of the valley. He's no less anything. So, what you're seeing as the facets, the attributes, the divisions of manifestation and performance, and ability, you're seeing them all brought out through Him and in Him. 17. Now, this is why I want to bring it out to show you here the fact that He is here in the Spirit, but is soon reincarnate Himself, because that day was what Bro. Branham looked at through the eyes of John way, way down through that period of church history. Now, I read this over here in 'Desperations' to you, and I want to read it again, I want to get the whole thing. Now, here's what I want to read, the whole paragraph which I didn't read before, I just wanted to read part of it. Now, Bro. Branham is talking. He said: [Desperations 09-01-63] [9 ] The Token is Christ. But speaking in tongues, and casting out devils, and doing those things, and preaching, and whatever, it is, it is the evidence It's there, true; but it's not It. See? It's a gift of It. If I told you... You say, "I want you, Brother Branham," and I'll give you a gift well, that's not me, that's my gift. Tongues is a gift of the Holy Ghost, not the Holy Ghost Itself, a gift of the Holy Ghost. (Now listen:) And the devil can impersonate any (one) of those things. But he cannot be the Holy Ghost. See? He can impersonate these gifts, but he can't be the Holy Ghost. (Because he's the un-holy ghost, see?) The Holy Ghost is the Token that the Blood's been applied, because It follows the Blood all the way from the Book of Redemption. Now, you notice, that's one thing that Cain would not take, is the blood. That's where your bloodless religion comes from. Every religion has a philosophy outside of the Cross comes straight from Cain, and the Token can never follow it. See it? That was the purpose of Him coming. That's what He followed in every age. 18. In other words, the application, the Blood, the Holy Spirit fell on it. [10] Every age He's followed that to see that It's brought forth. In other words, every single child of God, every predestinated seed would come under the Blood, and the Spirit of God seal him right in. Now listen, that's in every age that took place. And now (that's today) the entire Holy Spirit visits the church making God in human flesh as He did before Sodom, the burning there, which was a type. Then Abraham, He (that's God) appeared to him. All the things that He hasn't done down through the ages, in the church ages, He is now doing. Back to the Word, because the messages, and the messages, and the messages has to wind up in the entire Word. (All right, I read that to you.) And I got over here, where I read: [What is the Holy Ghost 12-16-59] [36] Now, the Spirit of God has worked under justification (that was the Word) under Luther, under reformation. Bro. Branham said, "The church liken to husband, its head had to fall in the ground and die. And when it fell in the ground, it was already going into the ground, because the Word was being taken away." But, he never let a certain portion of that Word ever get away. In other words, He never let the Blood and the Holy Spirit ever get away from the Church. He couldn't, because the Church was gone. That's why all these other things could be there. (You see?) But, the Church as to come back to where it fell from. So it's got to come right back. And you'll notice in the very beginning (we don't have a board here, I wish we had some kind of a board, we could kind of put somewhere, because I feel a little more at ease if I can kind of mess around and with some 'sketchology' here for my eschatology. It'd be more helpful to get it.) But, if you go back to Pentecost you'll notice they had promise of the Holy Spirit. And before the Holy Spirit divided Himself into little pieces, which He did not completely divide Himself. You see, here's the thing, I just wonder how many people understand when you're dealing with God? When you're dealing with the Father, you're dealing with the Scriptures. 19. Okay, let's go Scripture, 1 Peter. (My, I want to tell you, I don't want to get tied in knots about preaching, but maybe I need a vacation, maybe next twenty years off. But, I'm tied in knots all the time within…this is what gets me, all my troubles, my hot-headedness, because I just get burning up.) It says: [1 Peter 1:] (23) Being born again, not of corruptible (sperma, sperm, Greek sperma, not Logos, sperma,) but of incorruptible (sperma, of) the word of God… Now, trying to show you something: There's no one person got all of the Logos. There's no one person got all the Holy Ghost, except Jesus that ever had It all. Everybody else had a measure. The prophet's had a greater measure. Bro. Branham said, "In fact, a born again believer today is the only one that had anything near what the prophets had." All right, now, you've got the great Inseminator that came down at Pentecost. And He stood right there, and there wasn't one of those people had the Holy Ghost. And He could have stayed there twenty five years, and nobody had the Holy Ghost. And He could have stayed there a hundred and twenty five years, if He let him live, and He could have stayed there two million years and He'd let them live. You get what I'm trying to tell you? The Presence of the Holy Ghost was not the baptism with the Holy Ghost. But, He stood there as the great Germatizer to be born again, to be quickened back to God (as Bro. Branham called "the quickening power." Now, there He hovered over them in the form of the Pillar of Fire, the Cloud. Then a little tongue came down of each one. Like male sperm comes, fifteen thousand across the root of one hair, (the diameter of one hair) that's maybe just so much Holy Ghost anyone of us has got when you compare what the Holy Ghost Himself is. (See?) 20. All right, now, He stood there to inseminate and to give life. Now notice: a few years later the same Pillar of Fire came back and knocked the eyes out of Paul. Knocked him down flat on the road to Damascus. And Paul said, "Who art Thou Lord." And He said, "I'm Jesus." Same Pillar of Fire that Abraham saw. The same One that Abraham saw in a human form. Now, He's gone back to a Pillar of Fire. The Inseminator, but this time He's giving the Word. Now, Paul's full of the Holy Ghost, It was the same One gives him a little measure of Himself. (I should have put that in there first.) Now, Paul goes down to Arabia, in the desert somewhere, three and a half years, or three years. And there he receives a complete revelation from this One in the Pillar of Fire. 21. Now, this is what the church doesn't understand, and the brethren today don't understand. The same Spirit that was in Jesus that made Him what He is, what He was, is here now. The great Inseminator stands here inseminating, if He indeed is doing it, the last one. And when He's through, He still stands there. Now, "the Lord Himself descends from Heaven with a Shout, the voice of the archangel, the Trump of God," [1 Th 4:16] And we're in the Shout. And this is that Spirit that's in Ephesians. This is that Spirit that's giving us all through the entire Bible. All through these last few years from June 11, 1933. When He first began to make Himself visible. Now, people say, "Well, what do you mean then, was He in the church then?" No, He wasn't in there until 1965. Now, I want to tell you something, if our brethren that fight this understanding we have, of what Bro. Branham taught is not my revelation, it's Bro. Branham's revelation. All I believe I'm doing, I'm teaching what he said. 22. So, let's go down here and take a look at this Book. This Book called 'Genesis' we'll deal with Mr. Abraham. Genesis 12. (1) Now the LORD had said unto (Abraham), Get thee out of thy country,.. So, all right Abraham had spiritual intercourse with God. All right? And then It says in [Genesis] 13:14, (14) And the LORD said unto (Abraham), after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up (you) eyes, and (see) the place…(now, take a look at it.) Then in chapter 15: (1) …the word of the LORD came unto (Abraham, again) in a vision… Verse 17. He said, He's going to be the Judge in chapter 15, verse 14. In verse 17: (17) …when the sun went down, a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp… What was that? Pillar of Fire. Now, then God comes down in the form of a man. And yet in chapter 17, even before the 18, he's ninety nine years old, and the Lord appeared again. Now, can't they understand that God can keep appearing? Isn't it strange, oh, "He's the same yesterday, today and forever." [Heb 13:8] No, they're lying, somebody's lying. Somebody's lying. But, I'll tell you one thing, it's the first time in two thousand years God has spoken lip to ear to a prophet since the time of Paul. And he said, "The same Pillar of Fire is going to take us into the Millennium." 23. All right. All right now, notice: I read over here: [What is the Holy Ghost 12-16-59] [36 ] …the Spirit of God has worked under justification under Luther, sanctification under Wesley, the baptism of the Holy Ghost under Pentecost; and here It is in the last day performing and doing the very same things that It did when It was in Christ. (Then when It was in Christ, not in Him now. He's down here.) What was it? The church and Christ has become One. Why? Because, He's one in the church, "I and my Father are one." Now, as soon as they connect up, they haven't connected up all the way up, the dead are not out of the ground, and the church is not spiritually perfect yet, so the dead come out of the ground. "Because, they without us cannot be made perfect." [Heb 11:40b] She's coming to it. And what is it? It tells you it's a revelation. 24. Now, what I'm looking at here is this coming up to this hour: it's only in the days of the Voice of the Seventh Church Age messenger that He can be here. Because, He wasn't here in Pentecost, and He's here now. Now, that's Revelation 10: Okay: (1) And I saw another mighty (messenger) come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: (You know what he's talking about. He's talking about that One over there in Revelation 1.) (3) …cried with a loud voice, when a lion roareth:… And then he swears that time is running out. But remember, Bro. Branham said, "The time only starts to run out, because it doesn't run out until after the White Throne Judgment." New Heavens and new earth. You can see what's happening; we've started on the progression to eternity. Because He's here! I know…see, I don't understand people's thinking.…believe it. Not necessarily that's how it is. But, I'm not a patient person. Now, Bro. Branham, (he says) “The trouble Lee is, He just lays that Scripture in there until (you know) ready to pop.” Well, I'm not just defending myself, because nobody should be rotten as I am. But, I'll tell you one thing, I'm ready to pop. Because look, this Word tells it. [raps hard on pulpit] We're not dealing anymore in hogwash brother/sister, creeds and dogmas and this junk. The prophet categorically said, "Jesus does all three in descending." And that Jesus was the same yesterday, today and forever;" which was Elohim. Now, It said, "The Lord descended from Heaven, and then we're going to meet the Lord in the air." [1 Th 4:16-17] Well, that's the Lord said to my Lord, sit thou at my right hand." [Ps 110:1] We got the same thing happening once more. Marvel of marvels and glory of glories. 25. Now, It said right here: [Revelation 10:] (7) …in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, (that's the Seventh Church age messenger) when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as (God has) declared (the good news) his servants the (Gospel). (Now, It tells you there's no more to come.) Okay, are you with me? Fine, turn back to Hebrews 1: (1) God, (in many parts, in many ways) spake in time past unto the fathers (in) the prophets, Now, It says over here: [Revelation 10:] (7) …in the days of the seventh (church messenger) the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the (good news of the Gospel). It says, "it's going to finish it." Finish what? The good news of the Gospel. Finish what? Justification, sanctification, baptism, gifts, Word, Presence. Exodus time. It's finished. 26. Listen, they were down in Egypt for four hundred years. The Judge came, "come out!" We've been there two thousand years. "Come out!" We're getting out of here. Judgments of God falling in the earth. See, everything types perfectly. You can't get away from it. It's in the last time. And this fellow here what does he do? Well, he tells you, he finishes it up. Now, how do you finish anything up? You finish it up by bringing it to conclusion and you polish it. There were loose ends. What about them Seven Seals? What about them Seven Thunders? What about eternal security? What about marriage and divorce? What about serpent seed? What about this? My God, yes. What about a five hundred thousand things almost? (Well, let's get that down to fifty at least.) I won't exaggerate, because you get carried away as Moody said. A woman came to Moody one day and she said, "Mr. (Bro.) Moody I have an awful time with exaggeration." He said, "Sister, just call it lying, call it lying." [laughter] 27. So all right. It's going to be finished, and when you finish a thing you know that it's been going through a process, and every process goes through parts. Now, someone says, "Well, I don't think I understand that Bro. Vayle." Well, I'm going to teach you to understand it. When the sperm goes to the egg, it forms a spine I understand. From there on the things begin to form, form. All right, you got a little baby in there that's perfectly formed, but he doesn't come forth yet, because he's not perfectly formed. He's got to grow. And all those parts in there has got to grow until it's mature enough for the baby to come down. All right, you've got the same thing here in the Gospel. (See?) …the Holy Spirit back there in Wesley's day they did. They had it in Luther's day, and Pentecost's day, they did, they got the Holy Ghost today. But, they didn't have the Gospel finished, and part is and as part of the Gospel this, the Seventh Church Age messenger in the Presence of God. 28. Now, let's go back to 1 Corinthians 13, this is exactly why Bro. Branham preached what he preached. (9) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. All right, what comes in part? Prophecy, which is the Word of God comes in part. Justification, sanctification, baptism, the restoration of gifts, and now right back to the Word. (Do you follow?) Hey, now listen, I'll tell you why you should follow. Because that's the Word. Don't bat your eyes, I know you're not, but don't bat your spiritual eye balls around trying to figure it out. Boy if Ruth come up here every night and say, "Let me figure this electronic organ out before I put my fingers on the keyboard." We'd never hear one little bit. The same as Dave with his accordion. And I think the piano is least complicated, but I know Chris is not that smart either. Who is going to sit down and figure the thing out? Nobody's asked anybody to figure anything out. When the sheet is laid before you, if you've got any rhythm, when the Great Conductor begins to conduct the symphony of His Word and get up and join the dance, hallelujah for salvation has come. Let's dance clean up to the rafters. Now, don't dance with each other, or I'll hit you the end…got something hard here you'll get bopped in the… I can take a lot of things, but that. You can dance your own little impressionistic dance. That's in the spirit with your own spirit. That's better still, get this thing down right. 29. All right, (9) …we prophesy in part. (10) But when that which is perfect is come… All right, [Revelation 10] (7) But in the days of the (Seventh Church Age messenger) when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be (perfected)… (because that's what the word 'finish' is.) For we knew in a part. We understood in a part, but when that which is finished is come! What finished? Oh, sure glad you asked. But man, if you hadn't asked I wouldn't have thought of it. 30. Over here in Ephesians 4: and It tells you what it is. (12) For the perfecting of the saints, the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Now, what is that? All right, let's go up above and find it, by verse 7. (7) But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. (8) Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Who's he talking about? Christ! Now, He that descended, what is it? That the One that descended went up and came back as the Holy Ghost. So, now you're dealing with the Holy Ghost. That's Christ! Now listen: what's He doing? He gave a ministry of the Word to perfect the Saints, "for the work of the ministry, to build the body of Christ, until we come in unity of faith, the knowledge of the Son of God, unto the perfect man, (the finished man) the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." [1 Cor 13:12-13] 31. The last of the Gentiles is in, there's no more to come. The 144,000 aren't in the Bride, forget it. They're eunuchs, they take care of the Bride. "Henceforth no more children," we've matured. Polishing off time. "No more to us tossing to and fro. No more carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness." [verse 14] They've had that all through the years, and they've got it till this hour. But, this is one thing the devil can't do. There's no way the devil can imitate this, it's already on tape. It's laid before us, and the Holy Ghost walks right in, takes us right back. No way the devil can get to this. Now it's all laid out in front of us. Now, "grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ." [verse 15] We're not talking about Jesus the man, we're talking about the Holy Spirit. "From whom the whole body fitly joined together." [verse 16] Who's are Head? The Holy Ghost. So, we're growing up into Him. When it's finished in the days the Seventh Church Age messenger there's nothing left but the Capstone to come down. You've got the fullness of the Holy Ghost today. Back, proving He's here by doing the same things He did when He was the fullness of God here in human flesh. What more do people want? This was not done for two thousand years. Almighty God, what's the matter with people? "What all this about the Holy Spirit? He's been here for two thousand years." Shoo! (Yeah) 32. "Grow up unto Him." Let's look at It, the body of the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 12:12. (12) For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. (13) For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body… (mystical body, says Bro. Branham.) All right, the body of the Holy Ghost. Now, He's been inseminating. Now, He was there at the start of it. When He started inseminating He's down here at the end when He finishes inseminating. Now, He's bringing a Bride back to a perfection. 33. All right, let's find out about that perfection and what is it all about. Go back to Acts 3:19b, let's just read the Bible, forget what anybody said. I don't worry about anybody anymore. (19) …when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. (20) (Even) he shall send Jesus… (that's God. That Lord that was there.) All right, what Lord are we talking about? Elohim! That's the One that's Present. That same One shall send Jesus the Christ Who is appointed unto you, proclaimed in advance. But, the heaven's got to hold Him there until restoration. All right, at perfection, and a restoration is the same thing. [Bro. Vayle mimics someone] "Oh, I got the Holy Ghost, bless God. When Elijah comes, bless God." Say they believe this Message no more than nothing. (Well, keep your cool Lee, it's okay, be nice like the prophet. Forget it, I never was the prophet. Don't ask a leopard to change his spots, the Ethiopian his skin.) Now, restoration comes, comes under a prophet. And those that don't hear are destroyed utterly. Who are they? Wicked. A restoration, and Who's standing here? Prophet and Judge. But, when do the wicked get destroyed? When the righteous are gone. When He's re-incarnated. When the same Holy Ghost that was in Him here when He was on earth, the same Holy Ghost goes back and takes us with Him. See, I don't know what's… I just don't understand people's thinking. Well, that's fine, they don't understand mine, so glory to God. 35. That's like the guy (you know) he decided well, he had this horse and he thought he'd count his teeth, and the horse thought he'd count the guy's fingers. So…[laughter] I guess, that's it. Might as well make a joke of it, because of those…God knows a serious and desperate…I'm going to tell you something brother/sister: what burns me up, at these guys don't understand, either we were told a lie by the prophet, or we were told the truth. And it goes more than just Him being here. It goes to the fact that you don't add a word and take a word. Now, I say this categorically, we're not looking around anymore like a bunch of nice guys. Like everybody wants to be a nice guy and preach du Plessis and everybody else into the kingdom of God. My brother, my sister, I can't do it. Bro. Branham said du Plessis led them back to the antichrist. Merciful God, did Jesus Christ do a thing like that? No, it shows you the delusion of the hour we're in. 36. Now, listen, don't, don't argue with me kid. I know what I'm talking about. I get around just enough to know what's going on. It burns me to a crisp, I going to just rip the phone off the wall pretty soon one of these days. And get over it. Just stay home. Preach once every three weeks, something like that. I don't understand what's going on, except I do understand what's going on. I understand what's going on is this: If I am right that He is here, and they say that He is not here, that's taking away from the Word of God my brother, my sister. Now, if He's not here and I say He is, that's adding to the Word of God. "Am I just a nice guy to get by, because, hallelujah I knew the prophet?" I'm going to tell you something: even his wife didn't know the prophet. That as a preacher I came the closest. Before he died, he said to Meda, "Lee Vayle is the only one preacher that understands me and my Message." And I don't understand the prophet for a plug nickel. Yet, I wrote the book. And I don't think any man living preaches the way I preach, concerning the prophet and these things. I don't believe anybody does. Maybe so, but I just doubt it. And I know nothing. 37. But, I know this one thing: look, I have a piece of paper here, I will not take the piece of paper and I will add a little Kleenex on it. I will now take the paper and dump the Kleenex off. Oh, nothing to it, heh, heh. Oh listen, I added Kleenex. I'm adding to it. (If I could take it and I could just put the two together like that somehow, I'd really add, right? I'd really take. Now, I don't understand what people are trying to get around this world. They're not serious about this Message brother/sister. When you've got to stand up and know what you're teaching, (or supposed to know) you better know as far as I'm concerned. Now, the Head is the Holy Spirit. 38. Now, we're going back to Ephesians. (And I'm going to let you out of here, because I'm not going to re-preach this next Sunday. I'm even looking at my notes hardly. Preach it next Sunday and then see a bit of different sermon, but it'll be the same sermon.) Now, this Head: [Ephesians 4:] (16) From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, (every Church Age, every messenger) according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Now, he put the Word and the Holy Ghost plumb back together. In other words, every Age has a portion of God's Word which is enlivened by the Holy Spirit lived for that hour. All right, this is the hour when it is all over. And when it is all over, then redemption has to come into full flow, which is the bodies out of the ground. Now, the Holy Spirit was there to start it, and He brought the pure Word. If He's that noise-maker, He's got to be here to finish it, and bring us just back to where we were. Now, I want you to notice this. It said here, "From whom the whole Head fitly joined together." It's telling you where everything came from. It came from the Holy Spirit. It came from God. 39. Now, you've got to get back to Headship of God, and that's where He's taking us by the Holy Ghost. And the Headship of God starts first of all with the revealed Word. The restored Word. Then comes the Resurrection. Then comes the immortality of the living Bride. Then comes the Rapture and Wedding Supper. Then comes back here on earth. Now, in the meantime, the Bride comes to the place where the Word is everything to her, even before she's taken away. She learns what it is to have the Word, and not say It until she's given permission, she knows what to do with It. Now, you're getting to the adoption. But the adoption, the fullness comes in the Resurrection. So, now we're caught out of here at the Marriage Supper, we come down to this earth and there won't be one blemish. Why? Because the Head and the body is complete one body. As the Head came out in a Resurrection, so the body comes out. All made immortal. Now, we're coming into that place in this very hour here. 40. Now, okay, mentioned to you on Sunday, that Bro. Branham said He came in the name of three Sons. "Son of man, Son of God, Son of David." But, what people have failed to realize there is a repeat of the Son of man to the Gentiles. So therefore: He was Son of man, Son of God, Son of man. He was Son of man in the days of the Hebrews. He was Son of God in the days of the Hebrews and the Gentiles. (Because, it's through Hebrews came in, the Jews came in. Called really Hebrews, Israelites.) Jews, from the word 'Judea', that's Judah. All Israel is not Jew. That's just out. In fact at the time of Jesus they were classified by the land where they came from. "Are not all these Judeans, are not all these Galileans?" So, you got to go back to the original word 'Israelite'. 41. All right, now then He become Son of man in the Holy Spirit at the end-time to the Gentiles. Now, He said, "Judgment is committed unto me." And He put it down the road, but this time there's no going down the road. It's here. So therefore, in the Book of Luke 17, we find Jesus is bringing out all of this about the Son of man, they came and demanded "when the kingdom of God should come?" Now listen, the question, "When will the kingdom of God come?" All right, you want to know the answer: the answer is, "as it was in the days of Noah, He'll be here, but if you don't see it under your nose you'll never get it." People running here, I don't run anywhere. I don't have to run anywhere. I believe the fastest way to get somewhere is to sit down. That's right, let God do it for you. Bro. Branham said, "The best thing to do is learn to get out of the way." Now, It says, "They ate, they drank." Didn't even know what was going on. Now notice, He says here, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation." [verse 17b] Now, He answered their question. They said, "When is it going to come?" When is it? "Well," He said, "It doesn't come with visibility. It'll be there and you won't see it. Be right in the midst of you." And he turned to his disciples and He said, "You got it right now in the days of the Son of man." 42. I'm the prophet aren't I? Isn't that what you're looking for like unto Moses? Okay, I'm sign of the prophet, here I am. Here's the kingdom. All you need to do is to stand around Me and admit Me, take Me and you watch things happen. You watch the desert blossom like a rose. You want an oil well, I'll give you an oil well. You want a fleet of camels, is that what you want instead of Cadillac's ? Okay I'll give it to you." I'm putting this in a terminology of our civilization to let you know what went on back there. Because, has the received John the Baptist the kingdom had come unto them. But, they didn't. Now, He says right here, "I'm here." Now, He said, "The secret of knowing the answer to their questions is this: when you see this happen once more." All right, [Luke 17:] (30) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. That's the days of the Son of man which is the Coming, which is the Parousia. Which is Matthew 24, which is same as Luke 17. 43. Now, [Luke 17] (31) In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him not return back. (33) (And who will) seek to save his life (will) lose it; (but who will) lose his life (at this time will) preserve it. In other words, he that commits the keeping of his soul to this hour, the revelation of the Son of man, he's got it made. Nobody else. Well Bro. Branham said, "Nothing outside this Word will come to Life." I didn't say it, he did. All right, (32) Remember Lot's wife. (That's back in Abraham's day.) Okay: (34) I tell you, in that night two men in (a) bed; one taken, (one) left. Judgment; the Bride taken out, judgment falling. Because It says here: (37) (This is the Rapture where the eagles are.) 44. But over there in Matthew 24, it's the Great Tribulation, weeping and gnashing of teeth. Now, He lets them know exactly this hour. All right, Son of man constitutes Judge. Now, Bro. Branham said, "The judgments of God are in the earth." He said, "The Sixth Seal opened in 1964 with the Alaskan earthquake." The Fifth Seal had already opened. Under the Sixth Seal at the same time, because under the Sixth Seal were the 250,000 devils at the River Euphrates. The Fifth and Sixth Seals which sealed did open for quite some time in progress is literally opened. That's right. The Sixth Seal is going on already. All it's waiting for is the Bride to get out of here. And all God's is waiting for is enough Bride (and they're be the exact number don't worry) and they'll have that mind of God uniquely knowing the thoughts. And he said, "You get even ten people in one place that think alike, (he said) there'll be a Rapture." Now, here we are at the end-time. I can't prove that I'm going to go in a Rapture, but I believe I'm going to. You can't prove you are, but you believe you're going too. Now, I'm not trying to be a judge over anybody. but I'm going to tell you one thing brother/sister: this Word is the Judge. And this Word was revealed by a prophet, and he said, "God will judge the world in righteousness by One Christ Jesus Who is the Word." 45. All right, it's being judged now. I've never ever told you people to sit here and listen to me and say you believe what I teach. Never have asked anybody to do that. What I believe is my business, what you believe is your business, that's true. I cannot give you revelation, you cannot give me one. Bro. Branham could not give himself one. Could not give us one. Only God could give him the revelation, and because he was such a vessel he could receive a revelation. Now, we're all nice people, we try to be. It's not our job to condemn anybody, neither should we. That's not our job. We are not made judges over our brethren. But, there's one thing I believe as I said already tonight. I believe I have the right to say it, not just a matter of authority, but, I have the right in the sense of responsibility that we had better known that we are saying what the prophet said. Not that you take my word above anybody else's word, that would be ridiculous. But, I tell you one thing: I check everything anybody tells me the prophet said, I want to know where he said it. I want to know under the condition in which he said it. And I want to see reliable Scripture. Because, I'll tell you why: when mighty Angels came into William Branham's room, seven Angels in a row, and that great Seventh Spirit was the one that belonged to Him, the One before the Throne that matched William Branham, the Seventh Church Age messenger. Seven measures of Spirits, seven measures of Word come down at the end-time. There He stands right there. That Great Notable One. That was the Great One, right there at the end-time. He came right down and William Branham went to his Bible (with a concordance too by the way) to check everything that they brought in. 46. Now, I don't expect to sit here and believe what I say, unless I can back up what the prophet said, and you can see It yourself. But, I'm going to tell you something that you already know, and that is this: there's no way that you can read any of these books (this is volume four, and this is Patmos Vision, this would be number two, book of the revelation series) you can't get a hold of the Seals, and you start reading, but you'll see as you never saw before as you never seen in the last year, year and a half, everyplace you look, it talks about Him being Present. And it doesn't talk about you being inseminated. And it doesn't talk about you and me as a bunch of people getting together and do the mighty works of God, and bring the kingdom of God down, hallelujah. It talks about God being down here, as His Own Messenger. As His Own Prophet. As His Own Judge. As His Own Redeemer. As His Own Resurrection. As His Own everything. And we're a part of that. And we've come right to the place where the Holy Ghost is now. Headship. Headship is Christ. He's got it. And when that Headship is in perfection due to the bringing into conformity and a unity, which is called 'subduing', which is a very poor word. I don't like it, because I just don't like it. 47. And yet, it must have the authority there of the Great Commander, the Captain of the Host of Israel. Putting us right in line, everybody in his right place. Everyone with his right gift. Whatever it is, I don't know, I'm not going to worry two cents about it. Latter Rain we went all through that, just messed the whole thing up. Forget it, end up playing spiritual leap-frog down the seashore. [laughter] I know who had the gift to jump the highest, and yelling the loudest. No, brother/sister, you go plumb off the deep end when you fool with that stuff. Leave it alone. Just remember this one thing: If God were smart enough to start this, He's smart enough to end it. If He was smart enough to come down here and start it, He's smart enough to come down here and end it. As Bro. Branham said, "It's been Christ all the way through. and the Seals was all over opened." He said, "Them Seals was Christ." 48. So, I just leave it with you tonight, the Judge is here. (Yes sir!) The King is here. Why not? Just waiting for the incarnation now, which thank God we are not waiting for it. We are waiting for the Resurrection and immortality and the Rapture. He is waiting for the incarnation. And we are waiting only in the sense that…well, we're part of it in the sense of the Bride, the Marriage. The great Wedding Supper. But, you see, I refuse to project myself down that road, because the prophet said, "All the time glorifying God for what took place looking back, all the time glorifying God for what's going to take place looking down the future, but (he said) we don't know what's going on." Tonight brother/sister, I believe we do know what is going on. Now, certainly I don't know like a prophet what's going on. Don't take me for a prophet. But, I'm going to tell you something: if a prophet was here, and that Great One was to follow Him which is the Logos is to increase, then brother/sister, increasing is increasing! And if your original was to bring us back to the Word, then you better believe when we get all the back, that sweet Spirit comes into the Church. You watch how God begins to move. A little short while, whatever He does, don't ask me, I'm not interested. You say, "Why aren't you?" Because I'm not there yet. I'm not looking down the road. I know what's down the road, but I'm not looking, I'm looking now. And I'm looking for His greater understanding and the greater dynamism of revelation. That every time I preach this and bring it to your attention, you will notice it's the same thing but in a different way with added information. A deeper depth to higher height, and a more pronounced stimulation. (Oh yes.) One of these days we'll be so quickened, we'll just kick our shoes…well our shoes won't even stay on, we won't wear them, who needs them? Ain't going to dance either, they just…who need them? These clothes will fall off, because we'll be clothed in beautiful robes of fine linen, the righteousness of the Saints. This flesh will be changed, because the mind is going through the process now. So, there you are, let's rise. Gracious Heavenly Father, again we thank and praise You for Thy mercy, the wonders and the riches of Thy grace, the goodness of Almighty God extended toward us which we have of Thee we are so grateful for it. We praise You, Lord, for Your Presence and as Your Word so beautifully said You're not a God that's a far off, and You're nearer than when we first believed. Hallelujah. Came right down here in 1933 and Appeared, Appeared, Appeared, until then Appearing in great signs and wonders proved that You were the One Who would Appear in the Church. Come right down opened those Seals, showed Your Self. Wonderful, wonderful, showed Yourself, the Great Mercy Seat. Showed Yourself, the Great Prophet, the Great Judge. The Great King, the Great God, the Great All in all. And we're ever grateful for that, Lord. And showed Yourself that Your our Redeemer the author and finisher of our faith. All of these things, Lord, we put back on You. We put nothing on ourselves, except to know this one thing, Lord, without You we are all men most miserable. Without You, Lord, we are less than nothing, because we are a detriment to ourselves, to You and everybody else. And looking at ourselves, Lord, doesn't do any good, except in the sense that every time we look at You we know that we are more and more unworthy. But, now, Lord, we looking for that great day to come that you promised which the prophet said would come. When that sweet Spirit comes into the Church, hallelujah. O merciful God, what a day that's going to be. Lord, especially for fellows like me that have so desired and so hungered for those things, because in myself, Lord, simply do not have those beautiful qualities that so many people have. Just a little bit too much like grain of wheat put into a cockle-burr with too many burrs on it. And, Father, I'm grateful though that you could do something like this. Because, I look to you, I can't look to myself, I can't do it anymore. It's just isn't any use anyway, done give up trying. Lord, if You don't do the performing there wouldn't be any performance. And we believe, Lord, that goes for everybody though, because wouldn't matter how good a person is, how bad, how in between, it takes the righteousness of Jesus Christ. And then it takes God Himself after that to come and do the changing. Because, Lord, we know they're never get out of the grave by themselves, You're going to raise them. Your Voice is going to do it. We just thank You, Lord, and praise You that Resurrection is coming right up. Give us strength, Lord, if we must face a future which is going to be pretty rough, and it could be, we don't know. For the prophet said it could be twenty five years, a hundred years, yet tomorrow morning. Already seventeen years are gone by since he's gone. Surely, nineteen years since…coming right around the bends since the Seals were opened up. Begun to open up, Lord, and the revelation is all begin coming forth right to the place of the great Rapture tape, Lord, were the great sermon he preached, telling us the Lord Himself descends. Here He is in our midst, hallelujah, telling us all the time. O Father God, how can we…how can we be anything but warmed in our inner most being and joy in our souls, because You are here? Here, Lord, separating, not that we ever asked for it that… Father, when You Appeared to Abraham, he just said, Lord, look out for the righteous. You'll do that, won't You? I don't have to worry about those down there in Sodom. That was Your business. That was a ministering angels went down, that was their business. That was Lot's business down there. And You said, no way will the righteous perish with the wicked. Even brought out poor old Lot and his two daughters. We know, Lord, at the end-time there'll be nobody coming out though, unless they're already out, separated. We believe, Lord, separation time could be over. Don't know, but, could be over. Things moving very rapidly. By tomorrow morning could be another 1929, Wall Street crash. Banks going down. Nations going down. Lord, we look to You and nobody can solve anything. And I'm glad You can. I'm glad You're here, Lord. This is the rest wherein we cause the weary to rest. This is that refreshing, hallelujah. God is here. Pillar of Fire here to take us to the Millennium. That means, a resurrection is right around the corner, right at hand, we thank You for it. So now, Father, as we go be with us and may our thoughts be of You continuously. May our joy be in You, Lord. Just fire us up, O God, to fight the good fight of faith, lay hold of eternal life, press the battle at the gates, go all the way with Him who loved us, because You're so worthwhile. Lord, we're realizing there's nothing we just can't bring under control. To realize, Lord, there's no price too great. There's nothing too much, Lord, if it just costs us every inch of skin as the prophet said, O God, help us to understand. Help me especially, Lord. I sure am a person that needs a lot of understanding there and just push the battle the gate in, and take everything in stride. Deem everything a victory, no matter what happens, because we're more than conquerors. Now, unto the King Eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be all power and honor and glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 'The Lord bless you'.
