Last Day Thoughts

Blood of the Everlasting Covenant

[Unable to pick up first few words as the microphone battery or
connection or both go bad.]

	…As I thought I would come over tonight, I knew I had to make up my
mind… This thing [microphone] is about as bad as my own functional
apparatus. When I knew I’d made up my mind to come over, what happens?
The first thing I get feeling very poor and dizzy, which dizziness is
not part of my feeling normally; but I figured, ‘Well, I have to come
sooner or later, and sooner better than later, to be with you, knowing
that this is the last time I really feel obligated until something very
important comes up and I might feel another obligation.’

a.	So, wouldn’t you know, I go to my closet to get a suit, and I
figured I had a pair of trousers that I liked and fitted me quite
nicely. Well, they are about two inches too short in the waist. Then,
though I went and bought this suit, and it was… I could jump into the
trousers and put on a pair of suspenders, and I could have two inches to
go, or an inch and a half. So, I tried to jump into these, and I can’t
jump. So, by the time I get them together, I’m just about strangling
my abdomen. 

	So then, I pick up a shirt, and it’s one of those crazy shirts that
they… I think that somebody had something against somebody and
designed the shirt, because it’s like emery cloth. So, I have this
rascal to contend with.

b.	So, I have a lot of contentions, not Scripturally or socially, but
with the modus operandi which mode I tried operating in. It just
doesn’t work. But anyway…

	Now, looking around, you realize that my eyesight has failed even more
than when I was here previously so that some of you younger people that
I’m not too familiar with… Because you were just babies a short time
ago. You can sit opposite me at my house at the table, and I honestly
don’t recognize you. And the older ones I recognize quite readily, but
there again, there’s a possibility that it might be difficult.

c.	Now, on top of the loss of just about everything but a widening of
the girth and a clothes closet getting more and more untenable as far as
my ability to fit, or their ability to fit me, you know, things go on.
And I realize that time is running out either for me or for everybody,
that things are coming to a bad end. On top of that, you know, as you
get older, you break the laws that you need to confirm in your life more
than ever, and that is to drink a lot of water. 

	Now, when I was a kid, I used to run up and down so many miles that I
used gallons of water. But you get old, you get lazy and indifferent,
and that reflects on the phlegm. So, here I am clearing my throat and
everything else, which is what I’m talking about tonight. So, I’m
making excuses for myself, and yet not excuses. I want you to know that,
if there is something erratic, that just goes with the old age, and you
just have to be a little more sociable, a little more inclined to not be
necessarily helpful or respectful, but to just realize that, hey, if the
Lord should tarry, as He did in the days of Noah, we’ve just about got
fifty out of the hundred and twenty. So, be of good cheer. Your turn is
coming.

d.	So, you know, I’m just trying to be helpful so that you know that
your generation has to be a little discerning when it comes to you;
because, if you aren’t there yet, believe me, you will be. And all the
more so, because, when I was a child we had good drinking water; we had
good soil; our food was good. We didn’t have all these miserable, you
know, currents in the air, radio, and all these frequencies. Well, we
didn’t have the ELF and all of these things that make you a receiving
station for just about fifteen hundred or so unnecessary vibrations that
produce cancer and everything else, you know. 

	But you’re at the end time. Bro. Branham said, “There’s nothing
left in the earth.” Well, the air is polluted, the water’s polluted,
and the soil is polluted. So, where do we go from there?

e.	Well, to be not necessarily cheerless and kind of leading you to a
place where you think, “My, my, what is going on?” There’s nothing
left in this world; but, as Bro. Branham said, “The church is purged;
Israel is purged; the world is purged. It’s all over.” There’s
nothing can be done to restore this earth, because the population is too
great. This earth wasn’t meant to maintain seven billion people, nor
can it maintain even four billion people, as far as I can calculate in
the present condition. There is nothing left but suicide. And before
that time, you are well aware that there will be famine and civil war.
Whether famine brings on the civil war, or civil war brings on the
famine, you may rest assured that that’s around the corner.

f.	Now that brings me to the place where you here in Saint Paris…
You’re in the place where this is just about the most forsaken place
I’ve ever been in my life. You can’t even go sixty miles and get a
good meal. We’re in kind of a dead-end desolation. But, you know,
that’s going to work for your good, because who’s going to come in
this area to shed your blood, to take what you have, if you have
anything. So, you realize that you were led here by God; and so, it’s
not a matter of just enduring; but, you know, ‘rejoice’. The Bible
said, “Let the trees clap their hands and everything that hath breath,
let it praise the Lord,” and the Bible—strictly Psalms and
all—tells us to dance. 

g.	Now, you know, dancing is just about something that we don’t
entertain here. Now Bro. Branham tells about, I think, the first time he
got a little involved with the situation of Scriptural dancing. Now
dancing is Scriptural, if you do it Scripturally; but it sure isn’t
right, if you do it unrighteously. So, he’s sitting on the platform; I
think it’s a New Year’s Eve. And so, he doesn’t know, I’m sure,
who invited whom to come to his little Baptist church and to give a
special. So, he’s sitting on the chair, and the special is announced.
And up comes a lady with two other women, I think precisely younger, and
they were kind of young ladies. And this lady sat at the piano, and this
other girl carried a washboard with thimbles, which she had on her
fingers. Thimbles. You know what a ‘thimble’ is when you sew? Okay.
They make a tremendous grating noise on a washboard.

h.	I don’t know if you know much about a washboard. Well, there are
two kinds: one is metal, and one is made out of glass. We had both. And
I was married young, and my wife… I worked on the washboard with her
to help her, everything I could. 

	And anyway, this lady comes in, and she sits at the piano, and Bro.
Branham said she grew white around her mouth. And she sat there, and she
started playing. And, if she’d had three keyboards, or three tiers,
she’d have played them all. And so, the lady starts a-whamming on the
washboard and raking up and down. And this other girl started singing,
and pretty soon she’s dancing.

	And he said, “This can’t happen to me. I’m a Baptist in a Baptist
church.” And so, this girl really got in the spirit, and pretty soon
he was up there dancing—not with her—but dancing.

	So, that happened another time, when he was in a meeting, and they were
giving some lively gospel tunes which Bro. Branham certainly was not
against. And pretty soon they were dancing, and pretty soon he was
tapping his toes, and pretty soon he was dancing, too.

i.	Let me tell you about dancing in the spirit. I don’t know that I
ever danced in the spirit, but I’ll tell you what: When I pastored my
first little church, and I was gung-ho Pentecostal—independent, of
course, because they kicked me out. They didn’t like me. I really
couldn’t tell why, because later on I met my wife, and she liked me. I
couldn’t figure why anybody else wouldn’t. In fact she used to
recite a little bit of poetry about “All the world loves a lover,”
or something, and “I’m in love with you.” So, all the world must
love me, because she loved me. Well, I didn’t care about the world
loving me, as long as she most certainly did.

j.	Well, we never had anybody at the organ. We didn’t have a guitar;
we didn’t have a kazoo; we didn’t have a comb with a bit of tissue
paper on it. When we got happy, we suddenly would just get up and the
first thing, we just sort of waltzed around, you know, ethereally,
mid-air. I can’t say it was in the spirit, but I would challenge
anybody to say it wasn’t. So, you know, there’s a lot to be said
about loosening up. But as one person said, “I don’t care how high
you jump, as long as you walk straight when you come down.”

k.	But you know, it’s good to have a good atmosphere, and whether we
sing loud or whether we dance or whatever we do, I always find it good
to come here. I usually dread coming here, because it’s a nervous
pressure; but once I get inside the building, it’s all very nice. And
now that I’m here I have a chair behind me. And, if I fall over, just
don’t get excited. That’s just old age, and it’s just one step of
falling over until the last falling over, you know. You know how it is. 

	But anyway, let’s bow our heads in prayer:

	Heavenly Father, we come to You tonight, Lord, knowing that we’re
very infirm physically, and actually very infirm in a way, spiritually,
unless You help us, and we’re depending on Your help to help us to say
what You want us to say and to guide us into Truth and in this
Foot-washing and Communion service. We pray that Your Name be glorified
all the way through, then, that our attention is riveted upon You and
the Word and our strength coming from You. 

	And, when we’re through tonight we pray, Lord, that the week ahead of
us and the weeks ahead of us, all the time we have left upon earth, be
increasing in our understanding and revelation of You and Your Presence,
and how we ought to walk soberly and steadfastly before You to our
testimony, but always be very, very careful, then, that we do not give
an uncertain sound, but our lives give very certain sounds, if we are
born again, and we are Your emissaries, we are epistles, we are
ambassadors to a lost and dying world. And they have now no other means
of communicating with You and understanding You, knowing the truth,
except through Your people who are a light set upon a hill which cannot
be hidden.

	So, Lord, in all gravity, in sincerity, and in the power of the Holy
Spirit, may we live before You as we ought to. In Jesus’ Name we pray.
Amen.

1.	Now you realize that there’s no way I can have notes. I’ve got
about four great, big scrawls here that I hope I can read, and I’m
quite sure that I can. And I’ve no definite subject matter, but to
talk about just some things that I’ve been thinking about the last
while. And I can’t say that they are very revolutionary in any
concept, but perhaps could be enlightening, as some light.

	Now I’m going to address something here that I doubt very much if
anyone in this building has any information as regarding it, or anyone
who will get the CD or DVD or whatever. And over here you have that
picture of the Cloud. Now there’s something interesting about that
that I discovered only a very short while ago that puzzled me. And I
know that, though it doesn’t actually puzzle others, they do not have
any conception as to the answer that is to be given if somebody does
bring up the subject of this picture of the Cloud, which was in Look
magazine and also in the Science magazine in much more detail and more
pictures.

2.	Now we’ll go back to a young man in Florida, and he somehow
received the understanding that Bro. Branham (Now, this is after Bro.
Branham passed away.) was an anointed, infallible prophet. And he
married a girl by the name of Nedre. I’ll get her name after a while.
And he began sending out Bro. Branham’s tapes to everyone and anyone
who wanted them or who got in contact with him. And, of course, he was
very zealous, and he began sending out tapes by other ministers who
believed in Bro. Branham and brought messages concerning the end-time
ministry.

	Well, a short time after Bro. Branham’s death, some Church of Christ
preachers, as far as I understand, they began investigating whether Bro.
Branham was actually at the first day of the opening season of the
Javelina hog hunting season in Arizona, and that Cloud appeared at that
very time.

	Well, to their very great satisfaction, they found out that Bro.
Branham was not in Arizona at the time that picture was taken.

3.	Now you remember Bro. Branham, tape after tape, referred to that
Cloud, a cloud of angels, 26 miles across, 31 miles in length, and about
26 miles above the earth, where there’s no moisture whatsoever. And he
said, “On the opening day of the hog hunting season a vision came to
pass.” And you remember the vision was: he was bending over, picking
off some kind of a burr from the cuff of his trousers, and there was a
clap of thunder. He said it shook everything down and he was picked up
in this cloud of angels. And, as he tells it, he was standing there, and
there was this clap of thunder, he said, “that seemed to shake
everything down.” And he looked up, and there was this speck that came
from eternity. And quicker than the speed of thought, seven angels were
there that picked him up and took him up in that cloud. And he always
referred to that cloud of angels as being that Cloud that you see there
on the picture on the wall.

4.	Well, the actual fact of the matter is that Bro. Branham was in
Houston, Texas, at that time, appearing before a judge, pleading for the
life of a young man, who, actually according to the law, should have
been taken from off this earth for the callous butchering he perpetrated
upon a couple when he was with a young woman, whom I presume was his
wife. And Bro. Branham turned the sentence around. And this boy was the
stepson of Kipperman, the man who took that picture, who was literally,
as he portrayed himself, a foe of Bro. Branham and what Bro. Branham
stood for. And he said, “Just think,” he said, “the man that I was
against, came and saved the life of my son.”

	Now that was two days before the Javelina hunting season opened. So
now, I asked Gene Norman about it, and he just shook his head and knew
nothing. And I did not want to talk to those of whom we refer to as the
deity cult. So, one time I talked to George Smith, and all George Smith
could tell me was that Bro. Branham was indeed in Houston. He was not in
Arizona, and this picture was taken two days before Bro. Branham was
caught up in that cloud.

5.	Now… Oh, maybe three months ago, when Sister Lois was reading to
me, Bro. Branham, in an offhanded manner, kind of lowered his voice, and
he spoke about that cloud of angels. And he said concerning the picture,
he said it was taken a couple of days before or after. Now, why didn’t
the rest of the people catch that?

	I’ve waited, how many years? Going on forty-four solid years, and
nobody had the answer, and it lies right there on the tape. It’s right
there in print. He said, “That picture, taken a couple of days before
or after the Javelina hunt opening day in Arizona.”

	Now the picture in Look magazine and in the Science magazine, that
cloud went north, and no doubt it did because of what was to happen
thereafter, that great earthquake. Now Bro. Branham said, “The cloud
of angels that took him up,” (And he showed Rebekah exactly where he
was.) “that cloud of angels,” he said, “drifted south over
Mexico.” 

	And the question is, then: Why do you think that cloud of angels came
two days before? Well, there is that axiom that Bro. Branham set forth
when he was preaching that God does in the heavens… He shows it in
heaven before He does it on earth. So, there could be something to that
in the sense relating to this picture. 

	But, if you ever run across anybody, and they’re puzzled, mystified,
incredulous, or even make Bro. Branham a liar, I want you to know that I
did not struggle for forty-four years. No, no. I just waited, and it
didn’t bother me any, because Bro. Branham was a vindicated prophet.

6.	So, if you run across anybody, especially Church of Christ, and
they’re venomous, and they are venomous to the extent that we had here
some time ago. You met them. Their name was Mayor, and he’s a very
handsome man, and she’s quite a pretty woman. And they had a very
beautiful little girl; oh, I don’t know, I don’t think four years
old even. And she was born here in Ohio, and she was telling us about
her life, which was not pleasant. She was reared in the Church of
Christ, and she married a Church of Christ man, and he beat her
relentlessly. She went to the Church of Christ minister that he may talk
to her husband that he should not so abuse her. And do you know what he
told her? 

	“He has a right to do with you what he wants; and, if he wants to
beat you, he can do it.” 

	And thank God she had enough brains to walk out.

	Have you ever heard of anybody being so absolutely horrendous, to get
in the pulpit, call themselves a minister of Christ, and to tell
somebody to beat somebody else, an innocent person? How in the world can
you stand before your fellow man and not be sentenced by your peers to a
place worse than purgatory? I was appalled; but that’s the Church of
Christ. All right.

7.	So, that you have an insight… So, you’re not out of here yet. You
may taste the very thing I’ve talked about tonight.

	Say, “Well, your so-called prophet was a liar.”

	No, he wasn’t. It’s right in the books, and it’s right on tapes.
He positively did not lie.

8.	Now we go back to the young man in Florida. When he heard this report
and no one had the answer, he had a nervous breakdown. He thought Bro.
Branham had lied. He left the Message and threw out all the tapes and
books and ended up divorcing his wife, all because no one could give him
the answer. Perhaps he is the only one tragic illustration because of
ignorance. If you didn’t know before, you do now!

9.	Now, let’s just go into something else, because this is relevant,
not necessarily something you’re going to hear every time over the
pulpit, because even I am not given to that. Now a long time back I
mentioned to you that the gold standard was in the Bible, and I took you
to the first chapter or so of Genesis. And, where It says when Adam and
Eve were taken from the Garden of Eden, It said the gold of Ophir was
there—much fine gold. And you can take that and go right to the
Scripture, and you go to the time of Abraham. And in the time of
Abraham, they were dealing in merchandise, and there was a weight called
the shekel. Now you could weigh gold in shekels, because it was a
weight, like a pound or six ounces or whatever. Now, you could weigh
turnips, or you could put the value of a horse, or a camel or a sheep or
an ox or whatever. The shekel was a weight, and they usually dealt in
gold and silver. And you remember, when Abraham dickered for the tomb of
Sarah, (I think the fellow that had the cave.) he said, “If you want
to know, and you really want to pay for it,” he said, “it’s
according to the merchants, that cave that you want.” And I can’t
quote it; let’s say, “six shekels of gold.”

10.	So, before the people Abraham poured out six shekels. Now that gold
was likely well refined. How well? Well, it would have to be well
refined. How they did it besides beating it, I don’t know. I’ve an
idea that gold was in little pieces that you could measure. And so, they
measured out the weight of the value of that land. Now you’ll notice
all the way in the history of Abraham, and I suppose it goes right down
to Jacob and his sons, when they went to Egypt, he said, “Now take
money with you.” Well, it had to be shekels, and it had to be
universal, because that area there is not very large. Bro. Branham said,
“Abraham might have made three hundred miles.” Well, three hundred
miles, what is that? You jump in the car, and you’re gone. You know,
it’s not a great distance.

11.	So anyway, now, get this point: he said, “According to the
merchants.” Now the merchants bought and sold. So, if the merchants
had to pay more because of scarcity, they paid more, so that you got
less for your dollar than when the merchants could go out there and get
a lot for less money.

	Now, that’s what you call ‘capitalism’. Capitalism, free market,
the gold and silver standard is in the Bible. Now you can shake your
head and do what you want about it, but it’s absolutely the truth.
Capitalism, free market, a standard, is in the Bible. Now, let’s just
stop and think a second. So, if you were incredulous, I want to just
throw something at you. I’m sure it was Bro. Hickerson who was with
Bro. Branham one day, and they were out riding, and he said, “You
know, over beyond Tucson, there’s a mountain of solid gold. I’m not
going to tell you where it is, but there’s enough gold there to last
the Bride all through the Millennium.”

12.	What are you going to do about that? Oh, you’re just out there
picking the daisies, walking around… [Bro. Vayle makes carefree,
giggling sound.] I think you’ve got another thought coming. Bro.
Branham said, and I can’t quote him exactly, but I’ll put it in my
own words, “The Millennium is like this, but a much higher order.”

	Are we going to be using true capitalism when we have the gold? Well,
Bro. Branham said, “There’s enough gold there to do the Bride.”

	Well, did he mean the ladies would want gold rings on their fingers? I
don’t really think that. Now, let’s come back to the twenty-first
century. The libertarians in America are not ‘libertines’. Libertine
is a fallow man or woman that moves us to a great extent, flits around
like a butterfly, he just doesn’t fit into society, because he
won’t. He’s not reliable.

13.	Now the libertarians, they believe in capitalism, the gold and
silver standard; they believe in the Constitution. Now to my knowledge,
or not my knowledge, because I don’t have any, but just off the cuff,
I don’t recall anyone who’s a libertarian who ever got enough votes
to be in the House of Representatives or to be in the Senate. Now I’m
not saying that someone isn’t there, because I’m not qualified, but
I don’t know that anyone is there.

14.	Now there’s a man in Chicago, I forget his name, because it’s
not that relevant. But he’s been a libertarian for forty years. I
think he’s an attorney, and every year he’s written a book. And in
one book he’s brought out the laws of the Constitution and where the
people are going wrong in our government. He’s a great proponent of
the gold and silver standard money exchange, and he’s a believer in
capitalism. Now this year he wrote a book, and it’s called The Failure
of Capitalism, and you know what the theme is? He said, “Capitalism
has failed because of greed.” G-R-E-E-D, greed. Do you remember what I
told you about the CEO’s? They acted as though it was their money;
they did what they wanted to do; they were no longer stewards. They were
thieves; they connived; they have brought us to destruction.

	Now I never have been a political partner of President Clinton, but
President Clinton was the only man in the twenty-first century that
raised his voice with sanity, and he said, “We must tax the rich and
pay off the national debt.” He said, “Don’t say that I’m against
the rich, and just tax the rich. I am rich; but, if we’re to save this
country, pay off the national debt…”

15.	Now, you go back in your minds, twenty to twenty-five years. I’ve
preached two sermons, and in them I mentioned an economist said,
“Raise the income taxes across the board, rich and poor, four percent.
Pay off the debt.”

	Nobody heard one word; nobody said one word.

	Several years later, another economist said, (And I could get this.
I’m not sure about these figures. It was either eleven percent—and I
think that’s right—or seventeen percent.) “Pay off the national
debt. Do something!” And, do you know what our government said? They
listened this time. They said, “No, it gives us a feeling of great
satisfaction that nations trust us and they buy our bonds.”

	Can you believe that: that your and my government would dare to say
that? Now, where are we today? If China throws in our bonds—and it
doesn’t matter—we’re gone. Bro. Branham said in his day that it
would take forty generations to beat the taxes, that is, the debt that
has accrued to that point. We are gone—flat. We’re finished because
of greed.

16.	Now I want you and me to examine our hearts tonight. Are we greedy?
Now Paul the apostle said, “I had not known sin except the law said,
‘Thou shalt not covet’.” And Paul said that covetousness was the
sin of idolatry.

	Now everybody, maybe, has a pretty good taste in his or her mouth when
Paul said, “The law said, ‘Thou shalt not covet.’”

	Well, you say, “Now Paul was a pretty good egg.”

	I want to tell you, he was more.

	“How do you know he was?”

	Did he covet his neighbor’s wife or his neighbor’s daughter? Did he
covet somebody’s camels? Did he covet somebody else’s house? Did he
covet somebody else’s status?

	Covetousness is idolatry. Now examine your hearts tonight. Are you in
idolatry? Now we know the Trinity is an idolatry; we know the Oneness
are in idolatry, because they make a man ‘God’. And, if you worship
a man, you are an idolatress. Now that’s what’s going to precipitate
the big difference between the Trinity and the Oneness, which is between
the Jews and Rome, because the antichrist will say, “Worship me,”
and they say, “Worship a man? Ho, ho, ho. Oh, no, we don’t do
that.” And that’s when the fat’s in the fire. 

	But the Oneness people, I don’t think… I don’t know if there’s
a million of them in America. There may be that many or more. They’re
in idolatry.

	So, the Trinity accuses the Oneness, and the Oneness accuses the
Trinity, and they’re both in idolatry. Now we can be that way if
we’re greedy, if we’re covetous. It’s just not a very good thing.

17.	Now, I’m going to go where you’re really interested now, because
this is something that I’ve been looking over in my mind for quite
some time, because it has to do with Bro. Branham coming back and doing
something.

	Now, there were those who, right after Bro. Branham passed away, were
referred to as those who believed in ‘return ministry’. Now I was in
touch with a very wonderful friend of mine in Saskatchewan, and I
don’t know if I ever acquainted you with this thought or not. But
I’d phone him, and he would phone me. His name was Chris Thorson; his
wife’s name was Audrey. My wife and I often went to visit them when we
were in Canada, preached in his church, lived in their home… Oh, just
as precious a people as you’d ever want to meet.

18.	Well, when my ministry began tapering off because of the problems
with my health, we’d phone each other, and invariably he would talk
about return ministry, and as I stand here, (I’ve got to be as honest
as I can be in his memory, because he’s gone on.) I argued that Bro.
Branham could not come back in the return ministry as they believed it,
because the Bible said “Though one rose from the dead, they will not
believe.”

	And he’d hammer his side and say, “Well, Billy Paul said Bro.
Branham said, ‘To make the Rapture, you had to believe in Bro.
Branham’s infallibility; you had to believe in the tent; you had to
believe in California going under.’”

	I said, “Well, there’s no problem with that. But I will not say
that I will go along with you, in what you not only indicate, but you
are very strong in your affirmation that Bro. Branham will be back here
in this immense tent and go before the world.”

	You see, I believed that when Bro. Branham died, and I believed it very
much. And one day I was, I think, out in the garden, (Yeah) walking
around, and I think I was leaning over and like a Voice said, “Though
one rose from the dead, they will not believe.” Closed book.

19.	Now, Bro. Branham’s got to come back, and he said, “Well, what
do you think about it?”

	I’ll tell you this: If he doesn’t come back, don’t look for me. I
just closed the door on that.

	Now, since talking to Bro. Hickerson and Bro. Collins… He came to
visit me a while back— fabulous, tremendous, tremendous, fabulous
visit. I tell you, I think I could hitch up my little pet dog, and on
roller skates we’d go out of town a bit, if he’d come up to visit me
again, or we could meet some place. It was such a tremendous, tremendous
visit. And talking with these men, and I, realizing that Bro. Branham
would come back and that his ministry, in my mind at that time was an
exact parallel of the Lord Jesus Christ’s, where did it fit in?
Because Jesus did not appear to the world, and when he did appear to the
apostles, oh, man, that was really peculiar, because they didn’t even
recognize him. Nobody did. Mary did. When he said, “Mary,” right
away her eyes were opened, and she saw him, and he was gone shortly. And
so it was.

20.	And so, now I don’t lay myself open just because I want to know
personally. If I know something that I can pass on to you, then,
that’s why I’m here tonight. I want to pass it on to you. So, I’m
thinking about this, and I’m thinking to myself, “I can’t preach
anything with confidence, unless I’ve got a Scripture for it.” So, I
say, “Where is the Scripture? Where is the Scripture?” What is there
anything? And suddenly, in my mind the words form ‘infallible
proofs’.

	I said, “Hold it. That has to do with the Resurrection. So, I come
downstairs, and I say, “Lois, get the concordance,” (I figured I
knew where it was.) “and look up ‘infallible proofs’. Get the word
‘infallible’, because that’s going to be a tough one, maybe once
in the Greek, maybe two or three times. Who knows? My memory’s not
good.”

	So, she gets the concordance, in the Book of Acts, and It says, “With
many infallible proofs of the Resurrection.” You heard what I said?
“Many infallible proofs of the Resurrection.”

21.	Now you’re going to get a shock and a good surprise: Jesus Christ
never proved his resurrection to anybody but the Bride. He only proved
that he was Messiah to the whole world. Is that right? Messiah. Every
time, search the Scripture, and look back to Moses, and you’ll see
Moses spoke of him. Bro. Branham, for all the years of his ministry, he
always said, “The sign of the Messiah,” and he called it the Messiac
sign. I think it’s ‘Messianic’, if you want to get the proper
words. I’m not going to argue about it, but the sign of the Messiah,
the sign of the Messiah, the sign of the Messiah, the sign of the
Messiah. Right? You didn’t hear him say, “The sign of the
Resurrection.”

22.	Now, listen carefully: Bro. Branham said that Jesus appeared at the
end of Israel’s history: Daniel’s seventieth week. The vision came
to Daniel, and God said, “There’s four hundred and ninety years left
to Israel.” Bang, kaput, gone, finished, no more! Right? If you
believe the Bible… Well, if you don’t believe the Bible, it’s okay
by me.

	“Oh, Israel’s got a great future.”

	Prove it. Let your Bible prove it. Get everything Bro. Branham said.
Prove it. Messiah came at the end, at the first of the seventieth week,
which was seven remaining years on this earth. Jesus came, and for three
and a half years he proved he was Messiah, he proved that he was
Messiah. Are you listening? He proved that he was Messiah. And Bro.
Branham said, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever,
and if He is alive, He will give you the sign of the” Resurrection.
Did he say that? No way! He said, “The sign of the Messiah.” The
sign of the Messiah. At the end of the age Jesus appeared in flesh and
gave the sign of the Messiah at the end of the Gentiles? Huh? Go to your
Book of Romans, “The fullness of the Gentiles…? What’s the other
word? Fullness? Times! The times of the Gentiles. That’s all the
Gentiles, all the nations; they’re fulfilled. No more time left.
Sorry, it’s over. The fullness of the Gentiles… Gentiles is
really…well, nations. That’s what it is.

23.	So, the fullness is the Church being made up, and the Bride being
made up, because Bro. Branham said, “You take a bolt of cloth”…
You’ve been to JoAnn’s fabric store, and you’ve been here, and
you’ve been there. And they take the cloth, and they go, “Flip,
flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.” Fifteen yards, and there’s twenty
more; thirty yards to go. You go ‘snip’ with the scissors, cut it
out, you take it home, and you lay it out, you take your pattern, and
you go, “Snip, snip, snip.” The pattern is the dress; the rest is
remnant. Five wise, five foolish virgin. They’re virgins, no
different. No, no, no difference at all, except foreknowledge,
predestination, election.

	Now, as in Adam, all died. As in Adam all died. Now, look; if I fumble
here, don’t be alarmed, because I can’t read my Bible anyway. As in
Adam all died. In identical manner, all—the same all—are made alive
in Christ Jesus.

24.	Now Bro. John has already taught you, because I’m sure he told me
he had, when Jesus gave the disciples the parables, he said there was a
man, he was a fine farmer, real good fellow. He had a nice piece of
land. He went to the market, and he bought some very good seed—no weed
seeds; no tares in it—and he planted it. Well, within about a week or
so the servants came in and they said, “Master, did you not plant good
seed?”

	He said, “Absolutely.”

	“Well, where did these weeds come from?”

	“Ohhh,” he said, “an enemy did it.”

	“Well, we’ll just go pull them up!”

	“Oh, no, no, no, no. Wait until the time of the harvest, and you
gather them all in bundles. Burn them and you put the wheat in the
garner.”

	So, they said, “Master, tell us what that parable means.”

	He said, “The sower of the good seed is the Son of man. I did it.”

	What do you think about that?

	“Well,” you say, “he was a little bit cuckoo.”

	Oh, no, you don’t understand. He was there with the Father.

25.	Now, let’s understand this flat: If we were in God, (And Bro.
Branham said so.) and the Scripture already says in Ephesians, “We
were in Christ,” and He was the Son of man standing there, then that
Son of man, which means ‘prophet’, or ‘manifest in flesh’, He
was that Son of God, who then transferred all the seed into Adam to
bring forth all of God’s children.

	Now, what happened? Adam sinned; they all died, and Jesus said,
“I’ve got to bring them back. I have to die for them. Adam killed
them. He shouldn’t have done it, but I’m responsible. I put them
there.”

	Now, if you had money, you gave it to a financial advisor, and should
that financial advisor put it in the wrong place, that financial advisor
is responsible. Of course we know responsibility doesn’t go anywhere
with the human race. We’re talking about God and His Son. The Son
said, “I put them there, I’m going to bring them back.” And
that’s exactly the truth.

26.	Now, let’s understand this: at the end of the Gentile age, Bro.
Branham… Now, remember; the end of the Jews, right? The end of the
Jews’ Messiah King. Now, if He’s the same yesterday, today, and
forever, He’s got to come at the end of the Gentile age. Did He come?
Absolutely, absolutely. Bro. Branham said, “If He’s alive,” (Now,
that’s what he said.) “He will do the sign of Messiah, as He did to
Israel.” 

	“Why? What do we care two bits about the sign of the Messiah? We’re
Christians, hallelujah! Millions now living will never die. We’re
getting out of here.”

	“Oh,” the Baptists said, “if you think shouting and singing is
any sign, you come down and visit us. We’ll teach you how to shout and
sing.”

	The Pentecostals said, “Well, we talk in tongues, and we dance in the
spirit. Hallelujah!”

	Israel said, “Bless God, we’re scribes and Pharisees, and we’ve
got the best educated people. We’ve been in this thing for centuries
and centuries. We’ve got the blueblood. We’re the aristocracy.
We’re it.” They said, “Now, if he’s Messiah, he’d come to
us.”

	And the Oneness Church said, (And I got this from a Oneness preacher.)
“William Branham ain’t no prophet. If he’d of been a prophet,
he’d of come to us.”

27.	Now, let me tell you something right here: I met two Mormons.
She’s called Dr. Munn. I don’t know if she’s anywhere but on the
internet. I’m sure. But she’s a steadfast Mormon. He was a Mormon,
and they came to my home. Now the Mormon Book of Prophecy said that
William Branham would be here at the end time. They knew about William
Branham. Did they go seek him? Ho, ho! You bet your life they didn’t
seek him. I know they said in their hearts, because they proved it by
their lives, “Why, if he’s the prophet, he’ll come to us!”

	That’s what the scribes and Pharisees said. That’s what the
denominations say: “Well, if William Branham was ‘that’ prophet,
he’d come to us. He’d ‘Elohim’ Himself with somebody, because we
are it! And He’s got to come to it!”

	And that was the truth. He came unto His own, and His own received him
not.

28.	So now, at the end time, by thousands and thousands of times of
vindication, Bro. Branham proved by the sign of Messiah at the end of
the Gentile age. At the end of the Gentile age, you ain’t going
nowhere. You’re finished—snapoo. It’s all over. Church is purged,
Israel’s purged, earth is purged. It’s all gone. Now you can scream,
and you can holler. You can repent; you can bite the nail. You’re not
going to change anything. It’s inexorable. It’s like the dark holes
that they talk about in the universe. It just sucks everything in.

	So, are you getting it? He appeared at the end of the times of Israel;
they’ve got three and one-half years to go. That’s all. He appeared
at the end of the times of the Gentiles, at the fullness of the
Gentiles, the last one in and child-trained—the Bride’s gone.

29.	Now, let’s get to where I’m going. I want a Bible proof from
God: by many infallible proofs, He proved that he was alive. Now the
proof of his resurrection was separate from the proof of him being
Messiah. Is that right? Well, take it or leave it. I can read my Bible;
you can read your Bible. Paul says the same thing, “Many infallible
proofs of his resurrection.” It doesn’t say ‘Messiah’. 

	Now, look; the elect of God… And they weren’t just the twelve
apostles. Remember, Mary and Martha, they believed; Mary Magdalene sure
did believe him; Peter’s wife and mother sure believed him; Nicodemus,
Jairus. He appeared to five hundred that Paul knew about, and all the
disciples, and he showed that he was alive. He said, “Look at my
hands; look at the Book of Revelation, ‘He which was dead is
alive.’” 

	At the end of the Gentile age, He proved Himself ‘Messiah’.
That’s correct. At the end of the Jewish age, He proved Himself
Messiah. Now, when the Jews were finished, He didn’t go back and prove
Himself in the Resurrection; just to the Elect—a minimum group. He’s
already proved Himself to the Gentiles that He is Jesus, the Son of God.


	He is not God the Son; he is the Son of God. He is not God; he’s the
Son of God. There are two persons; one is God, and one is a man, who is
the Son of God. 

	And Bro. Branham detailed it very, very carefully. You can not miss it.
I spent nineteen sermons here in this pulpit, because a Jesus-Only man
wrote a book, and he took all the quotes of Bro. Branham. And I took the
same quotes, and I read further. And I put them in context, and I showed
you that Jesus is not God. Bro. Branham came at the end of time, and he
said, “The Elijah of this hour is God Himself, but it comes by a
man.” In other words he said, “It was the Holy Ghost, and it comes
by a man.”

30.	So therefore, we know that the Elijah of this hour is the Holy Ghost
Himself, God Himself, manifest in human flesh, showing that He is
Messiah. It does not say the proof of the Resurrection, though Bro.
Branham has to bring it in, as Paul did, that He’s the same yesterday,
today and forever. He is alive. Now Bro. Branham would say, “If He’s
alive, He’ll show Himself by the same sign that He’s Messiah.” It
doesn’t say, as in Romans, ‘according to the Resurrection’. He is
the Son of God. That’s the Holy Ghost.

31.	So, at the end time you have the same sign of the Messiah. Was he
accepted or rejected? Was he accepted or rejected of the Jews? He was
rejected. So now, with the Gentiles, according to Hebrews, they
crucified to themselves… They can’t kill him again, but they crucify
to themselves the Son of God afresh, and there’s nothing now but
judgment.

	So, when Jesus came forth from the dead, there were multiple signs of
the Resurrection. And in my understanding, because there can be no other
standing, because there is no further illumination or enlightenment, by
those many infallible proofs for those forty days, he showed himself
alive, he showed the sign of the Resurrection.

32.	So, when Bro. Branham comes forth, the sign of Messiah is all gone.
You’ve had it; you’ve crucified Him; it’s finished; there’s
judgment; Hebrews 6. Read It carefully. Get to Bro. Branham’s sermons
when he talks about it. You’ll see it right there. The fire comes; the
tares are burned. But now, I’m looking forward to Bro. Branham coming
forth in the Resurrection. How long? Don’t ask me what the signs will
be and what he will do. Don’t ask me. I’m just telling you what I
believe, and I can go no further. But I can tell you this: Noah wasn’t
sitting around chewing his fingernails or having barbecues. He was out
there preaching for a hundred and twenty years. Now, what all happened
in that time. Don’t ask me, but today we’ve got radio, we’ve got
TV, we’ve got computers; they can bend light, (They’re doing it.)
all around the world in a circle.

33.	What will Bro. Branham do? Would he have that tent? The dispute is:
Is it a tent or what? Well, he called it a tent, and I told you Meda
told me just before he passed away, “Now, Meda, you listen to me: I
will have that tent, if it’s only for one meeting.”

	She said, “Bro. Vayle, I don’t know if he meant one single meeting
or a series,” I’m just paraphrasing what she said. And, as I
recall… Now I hope I’m not getting this mixed up, but I understand
that Bro. Branham told Wilbur Collins… I call him ‘Wilbur’,
because Bro. Branham did, and numerically he should never have been
called Willard. That is a ‘bad’ name. He should have listened to
Bro. Branham. Now, I don’t mean to throw off on Bro. Collins. He’s
my beloved friend. But I’m just saying that numerically, Bro. Collins
should have listened, just like I should have listened, and I didn’t
do it. Oh, brother. But ‘Wilbur’ is a far better name. But he said
to Wilbur Collins, “It’s THUS SAITH THE LORD.”

34.	I talked to Allan Mosley, and he’s astute, just like his brother,
Evan. And he went to Bro. Branham, pinned him down, and he said, “That
will be in the Resurrection?”

	He said, “Yeah, it’ll be in the Resurrection.” Many infallible
proofs of the Resurrection.

	Brother/sister, that makes my heart rejoice. And, if I were an old
Pentecostal, (Well, I’m too old now.) I’d jump over the rail, and
I’d go screaming down the aisle, “Many infallible proofs of his
Resurrection!”

	What is it going to do? It is going to give faith to the Bride. Oh,
man, she’s going to take off like a space rocket. Just like Bro.
Branham saw that dot from eternity. Faster than that, from eternity!
Faster than that. Oh, if you want a shuttle space experience, you stick
around for the Resurrection. Now I’m telling you flat. Listen, I’m
not quoting a fable. I’m not talking about Aesop or the Grimm
brothers. Look here. Here it is, right in Ephesians. All right.

35.	I should quit by now, because you’ve already got enough. But
that’s for the ministry coming up. All right.

	Now, this will be in conclusion, and then, Bro. John can read 1
Corinthians and talk about the Lord’s Supper. But I just want to talk
a little bit about the Word of God. Now, in the Book of Genesis, God
talked to Abraham a lot. One time He told Abraham, “Abraham, I’m
making a covenant with you for all of my Seed, in you shall all the
nations of the earth be blessed. Everywhere in the world where the seed
of Adam is, they’re my Children, and I’m making a covenant with you
that everyone of those will be brought in.”

	 So, Abraham—I forget what he took, Bro. John can read it to you, or
read it yourself, in Genesis. I think he took a ram, maybe something
else, and some turtle doves, split them in two, and all day long, they
shoo the birds off of it. That’s what a good pastor does. He shoos off
the buzzards. And a lot of people they “Oh, I don’t like what that
pastor said this morning.”

36.	You can’t take a whipping? Well, there’s something wrong with
you. I’ve taken a lot of whippings; I don’t know how much good
it’s done me, but it’s done me some good. I could tell you a few
stories; I’ll spare you. I’ll spare you. Anyway, he shooed off the
buzzards and everything else, and the flies and everything. And the sun
went down, and a deep, deep, sleep and darkness. Bro. Branham said,
“He went to hell.” He had to, because that’s a covenant, that ball
of fire rolling through. You read it sometime. Let your mind go. I
can’t let mine go this time, because I can’t read; but, if I can get
big enough print, I’ll be able to absorb it. I’ll have me a good
time.

	You see, that was foretelling Jesus, the Son of God, would go to hell,
and he would suffer.

37.	Now the Scripture talks about the ‘Blood of the Everlasting
Covenant’. That covenant was back there in Genesis, and it was sealed
by the blood of many different things. I’m sure there was even a dove
in there, but the blood was shed, and God accepted that sacrifice, and
it was going up in flames.

	Now Paul says, (And Bro. Branham quotes It many, many times.) “In thy
Seed”—singular, not ‘seeds’, as of many—singular—“all
nations shall be blessed.” And, of course, he was talking about Jesus,
the Son of God, the Son of man who died with the sins of the whole
world.

38.	Now, I’ve mentioned this before, and I want to bring it to your
attention, that this is the Blood of the covenant. You see the
perfection? What was the covenant? Back there, oh, maybe Genesis 18, or
whatever it was, I don’t know, hundreds and hundreds of years back,
God made a covenant, and it was sealed at that time by the blood of
bulls and goats, looking forward to when that covenant would become
everlasting, the ‘Blood of the Everlasting Covenant’. God made a
covenant through Jesus Christ for His Seed, not one be lost, every one
return to God in a state… Oh, I know we want to use the word
‘glorified’. Sometime I’ll talk about that.

	Well, let’s face it. Let’s go to the Mount of Transfiguration.
Jesus was transfigured before them. He was in shining, shining garments.
He was as Moses and Elijah, oh, so superior to the angels and archangels
and cherubims and seraphims and the four living creatures—way, way
beyond there. But, when the vision… It was a vision. Remember, it was
a vision. That’s what it was. When that lifted, he was there as a
human being again.

39.	Now, when Jesus came forth in the Resurrection, he wasn’t all
white and glorified. No! He was a man. Tell me, when he left that tomb,
where did he get his garments? Now they weren’t pure white and
glistening. They were human garments. See?

	Now, what I’m trying to say is: Don’t get your eyes on something
super that you have no right to look upon. When will you get this body
‘glistening’? I don’t know if you ever will. I think we will, but
it could be in the eternal City. We’ll be immortal, but we musn’t
get carried away with thinking something outside of the Scripture. 

40.	So anyway, it’s the ‘Blood of the Everlasting Covenant’. So,
when you talk of the Blood shed, you have to look in this Word, to see
what that covenant was—what is yours by that Blood. An everlasting
covenant. No matter what man says, no matter what you say, you go to
this Word. That’s what I love about Bro. Branham. He was so
meticulous. I wish I were. He said, like to me one day, “Is it in the
Bible? Yeah, that’s it.” And that’s on his tapes. “Is it in the
Bible? That’s it!” Oh, brother, I’m just a bald-headed baby
alongside of that.

	Now we got to get there. It’s in the Bible: everlasting covenant.
Whatever He said is His, you give it to Him. What He says is yours, you
take it. And you wait until that portion of the covenant is ratified to
you, and there will come a time. I told you many times how I used to get
healing. Oh, man, now I can’t read. What a terrible nut. When I was
sick, I’d just pick up ‘Daddy’ Bosworth’s book, Christ the
Healer, and read. Read it. “That’s it,” and I’d walk away,
“I’m healed.” No problem! And Bro. Branham told you all about it.
He said, “When it has been revealed unto you that you are healed,
you’re healed.” 

41.	I remember the first time I was healed. Now it was either… Was it
this wrist? This wrist—left wrist, I think. I must have broken
something in there. Oh, it was like a toothache. Now at night to get
rest, I’d lock it under my body, and lie there. I wouldn’t move till
the next morning; I could sleep.

	Well, my sister got healed. Oh, I was so happy. The Lord was so real,
And so, what I said, “Tomorrow morning, won’t be any pain.” Lay on
my wrist; next morning, healed. Oh, that’s the trick. That’s easy. 

	So, I used to eat a lot of candy, and too many sweet things. Oh,
that’s terrible. You fill your body up with mucus, your head and your
sinuses. So, here I am, sick. I said, “Well, this is easy. Just go to
bed, next morning, healed.”Go to bed, no more healed than nothing. It
wasn’t revealed to me.

42.	You’ve got to take your place in the place where the revelation
is, and that’s in this Book. Or you read ‘Daddy’ Bosworth’s
Christ the Healer. There’s no book like it. I don’t care if Tommy
Lee Osborne, A.B. Simpson… Oh, I don’t care who wrote it. I’m just
telling you this from my experience. You listen to me and believe me.
Don’t look for any other book than Bro. Bosworth. Now Bro. McRae will
get it for you, if you haven’t got it. Somebody will get it for you.
And read it, and read it in faith. And, when you get that—not goose
bumps… God is not the God of the goose bumps. A woman pulled that on
me in Florida. I said, “Oh brother, now He’s the God of the goose
bumps.” I don’t buy that. He’s not the God of the goose bumps.
He’s not the God of some sensation, although that can happen. Look,
I’m not downgrading it. But He is the God Who takes your faith, and
your faith is not a sensation. It is a knowledge of the work done, and
it’s the everlasting covenant.

43.	Now, because this is a night that you take Communion and you wash
feet, I want to ask you a question: Did any husband and wife that’s
here tonight, did you come to Christ together, so that your sins were
forgiven together, even though you could come to the altar at the same
time? Did you pray as one in marriage, because you’re one flesh. Did
you receive your salvation? No, you didn’t. No way. You came as an
individual. Is that right? 

	Then now, let’s go back to the blood of Jesus Christ. If you came as
an individual to that Blood, Jesus shed His Blood for you as an
individual. Now, get the awful horror of what I’m telling you. In the
final days of mankind, there could be fifty billion people standing on
this earth. And every one had an opportunity as an individual, fifty
billion individuals, to come to Jesus Christ, and he shed His Blood for
each one individually, because you come to Him individually. You wonder
now why he said, “Father, let this cup pass from me, if possible.”
Did you get your healing the same time your wife was healed? No. You
came to Him as an individual. That’s why he said, “All my bones
stare at me.”They ripped the flesh off of his bones, so his rib cage
stood out here. He took stripes individually for fifty billion people.

44.	Now, you think of that when you take the Lord’s Supper. At
Pentecost, he had enough of the Holy Spirit, because God Himself came
down, and each individual received the baptism with the Holy Ghost, the
rebirth, was sealed into, and positioned in, the body of the Lord Jesus
Christ. It was for fifty billion, but fifty billion never came. But it
was there. Fifty billion never came for healing; fifty billion never
came for salvation—the baptism—but it was there. 

	Now, Bro. Branham says, as I mentioned the covenant, because I can’t
read to you, but you can read it, he said he went down into hell. Jesus
Christ went down into hell for fifty billion people, and it’s proven,
because he spoke to the spirits in prison, the souls of those people in
the days of Noah. In other words he spotted them, because that was the
time of the deluge, when according to what I have read, there were five
and a half billion people on earth at that time. Now today we’ve got
seven billion. Five and a half billion bypassed that ark. Seven billion
are bypassing the One Who said, “I’m Messiah. I’m proving it by
manifesting Myself in this man’s flesh.” And it was scientific,
because science says, when it’s over and over and over, without a
mistake, that’s science. Science took His picture. It’s there. Now,
science knows, it’s on tape, thousand times thousand times thousand
never failed. He is the Son of God. 

45.	Now brother/sister, I’m going to close with this, but don’t you
let it go by you. If it weren’t for vindication, I would be so
confused by what is going on in the world in science. I was pleased to
receive a transcript from the net by Bro. Don Shearer, where astronomers
are looking out into space, and they’re telling the world, “Don’t
you listen to NASA and the government, because they’re lulling you
into a sleep from which you’ll never arise, unless you rouse yourself
now.” But they’re just kidding the people.

46.	I don’t care what science tells you; I don’t care what anybody
tells you. If you don’t understand and stand on vindication tonight
and believe that Jesus shed His Blood for you as an individual. And
I’m an individual. If he did not bear your stripes, as an
individual… They ripped off his flesh. 

	Brother/sister, I’m just talking to you. I’m not especially
anointed. I would to God I were. But I can’t put on what I don’t
have. I cannot give to you in any other way than by speech. Only God can
make real to you and me tonight what I’m talking about—what we
already believe in: vindication. Don’t let it go, no matter what
anybody throws at you.

	“Oh, we dug up a mastodon.” 

	I don’t care if you dig up a carload! 

	“Where do these dinosaurs come from?” 

	Who cares where they came from? 

	“Oh, there are cities under the Atlantic and the Pacific; and, if we
go down deep enough, we got city upon city, and thousands of years ago,
and they had a civilization. And over there in South America there’s a
tunnel through the Andes, and up here’s a big landing strip.”

	I’ve read it all! I don’t care two bits! It’s all going to
perish! Bro. Branham is coming back because of the Blood, because of the
baptism with the Holy Ghost, because of his position as the Elijah of
this hour in the flesh, the Holy Ghost manifesting through him. He will
prove it! He’s got to do it! Forget about these fellows! It’s all
right to read. Read for your amusement. Listen for your amusement. And
then, stand back and say, “Well, isn’t that nice? For them it is,
but that ain’t for me. I’m sealed in by the Holy Ghost.”

47.	I’m going to about shouting just about now, and if I tear loose,
you just forgive me, because, brother/sister, there’s something beyond
here that you and I don’t know about, and we can’t know about until
we get it. In the meantime, we’re like the apostles, “When is he
coming back?” Pray for him to come back. Don’t be like the apostles,
say, “Well, well you know we thought that he was this, and we thought
that he was that, and looks like he…” Brother, it is so. It is so.

	This may be the last time I come to you. I hope to God it is, because
I’m tired of sticking around here. I know people pray for me, “Lord,
keep Bro. Vayle.”Why don’t you pray for yourself?I don’t need your
prayers to say, “Stick around here.” That’s what God has in His
mind; not in your mind or my mind. I’m here because I’m here. But
I’m learning; and, if it takes me this long to learn what I just
learned the last little while, you don’t need to worry. I’ll be here
for another hundred and twenty years. I’m not kidding you; I’m just
learning. Ninety-five years old, September 28th, I’m just trying to
learn. Trying to keep my tongue between my teeth, trying to keep my ears
in the right channels, like the song…many songs in the Bible. Trying
to keep from jumping at conclusions. Trying to get to where we’re
supposed to get: quick to hear, slow to speak.

48.	As the Word says, “Remember, keep your words few, because you’re
on earth, and God’s in heaven.” And we don’t get anything by
simply reciting. If that’s the case, buy a prayer wheel, flip it in
the wind. And brother/sister, we’re far beyond that, a million miles.
But I hope to God we’re not just little children, playing in the
market place. I hope that we’re far beyond that. Don’t start
singing, “There’s a land beyond the River;” there’s got to be a
resurrection.

	It’s my understanding. And, listen; I’m telling you this from my
heart, because I laid myself open before God. I said, “Lord, you know
what, I can’t preach anything really without the Scripture, because I
can’t help myself.” Look, you’re not looking at a teacher, this
and that. I’m just telling you, I can’t help myself. But He gave me
the answer, ‘infallible proofs’. We have an infallible proof right
now that there will be a resurrection. And we will have infallible
proofs in there that there is a resurrection. How long will it be? I
don’t know! Honestly I don’t know. I don’t say that I don’t
care, because I do care.

49.	Oh, I just love to be so saturated with His Presence, with His
knowledge, with His love, and His kindness. I know we’re… I can’t
help it, and you can’t help it. This is brotherly kindness, as Banks
Wood said, “Fishhooks on the elbows.” Bro. Branham said, “It’s
not brotherly love, it’s brotherly kindness,” this last Church Age,
before Love comes, the transcending Love of the Lord Jesus Christ, but
it’s right there, waiting for a little maturity.

	Now I can’t go on forever; but, remember this: Bro. Branham said,
“When the squeeze comes down, the Bride will come together.” Now,
look; don’t wait for that time. Don’t wait for the church in
Cincinnati to come up here, or we go down there; or the one on 42, we go
down there, they come up here, or we go somewhere else. Look, it’s
going to be right here. How are you getting along with your brothers and
sisters?

50.	Now, you better think that over before you take Communion. Now,
look; you’ve got to take Communion. You got to take it. You got to
take it. So, open your heart tonight for real forgiveness and love, and
no matter what anybody does, just let it go by. I’ve been learning
that the last few years. See, I can’t do anything else. I’m stuck.
If you came to my house and did me dirt, what am I going to do about it?
If you came and took everything I have, what am I going to do about it?
If you took my life, what am I going to do about it? Don’t wait until
you’re ninety. Don’t wait another day. Get your heart open, your
mind open. Whatever happens to you, that’s okay. Remember one thing:
They can’t take your redemption. They can’t take that. So, they can
take your life. “Fear not him that destroys the body, but fear Him Who
can take and destroy body and soul in hell.”

	I keep Bro. Branham in my mind. See, I didn’t walk with Jesus on this
earth. I walked with His Elijah. And I saw him, and whatever came, that
was it. He let it go by him. He didn’t bother. He just let it come,
and that was it. And he was victorious. So, that’s the way you and I
want to be. Let’s pray.

	Heavenly Father, You know we’re here tonight, and it’s deadly
serious, whether we want to count it that way or not. And it’s not
just a matter of words, though words have been spoken. I have given what
was on my heart to give, concerning this last day, and You know, Lord,
I’m not a hypocrite, not trying to tell the people something I don’t
know anything about, but we know there is something there. Personally, I
listened to what Bro. Branham said, when he said, “The Bride hasn’t
had a true revival.” So, in my thinking, she’s going to have one.
And he said that the Bride would come together, driven together. I know
that. I pray that we’ll come together in love and understanding and
make everything right; and don’t put it off, and don’t hope for
something tomorrow that might not be there, but be really honest and
just, and know in our hearts that as Jesus had a resurrection ministry.
It’s there in the Word, as far as I know that You revealed it to my
heart and my mind that Bro. Branham will be here in a resurrection
ministry. I know people call it ‘return ministry’, and I know, Lord,
they call it ‘new ministry’, but I know in the Bible it’s
‘resurrection ministry’.

	And so, we look at it, and we leave it there for Your honor and glory,
and pray, Father, if I’ve said anything in a wrong spirit, or said
anything wrong in itself, that You’ll bring it to my mind, or minds of
the people, and it will be corrected, because this, as far as I know,
could well be, and is intended, as far as I know, to be the last time I
come into the pulpit. I don’t say that, Lord, You’ve given a
revelation, but I believe I’ve done what you wanted me to do, and I
put it all in Your hands, and for Your commendation, or Your
consideration. And, if it’s right, it will be sealed; if there’s
anything wrong, it will take the downward path and go back to its
elements.

	And so, we commend ourselves to You, and believe for the other part of
this service, where people get their hearts right before You, before
they come and take Communion and wash feet, as an evidence of humility
and servility, just love and oneness. In Jesus Christ our Lord, we pray.
Amen.
