Mechanics and Dynamics  of His Presence

Bro. Lee Vayle   -     September 6, 1981

	[First part of the opening prayer is missing from the audio]

	…He’s here, so you can know You’ve come into your church in this
last hour, in grace and mercy showing Your kindness towards us.  Knowing
Lord, that when You Appear, and reveal Yourself again, it will be in
judgment upon the world that knew Thee not.  So, here we are this
morning under not just a promise, but the actuality of the fulfillment
of that promise that You’re here in grace and mercy this morning.  So,
we expect the unlimited, the abounding, overflowing, without limited
from God this morning. 

	 Acting toward us in all wisdom, and prudence, revealing and doing
those things, which were set forth in His Word, until this hour, we
become the living Word of God, in our flesh. Which we are grateful, to
claim and to proclaim, and we thank you for It.  Now, help us in the
ministry of Your Word this morning, to be more sure, settled, grounded,
in our faith.  And confident in those things which we have surely heard
and know to be true by manifestation.  In the Name of Jesus Christ, we
pray.  Amen.    You may be seated. 

1.	Now this morning, we will be taking our time, and I took a lot of
your time last night.  And it’s possible we will take quite a bit of
time this morning, also on the message of the ‘Mechanics and the
Dynamics of His Presence’.  And what I’m setting forth here, is that
we can know assuredly from Scripture, that He is here, and also what He
is doing.  And I have designated the acknowledgement of the doctrine of
His Presence, which is His Appearing as the mechanics, because we have
studied it carefully, as to whether there be such a possible event set
forth in the Word.  

	Now, that’s what ‘mechanics’ means to me.  Does it say something
about it in the Word?  Whether you understand it or not, or whether it
is actually taking place at this hour.  Is there such a thing as His
Presence taught in the Bible?  It amounts to the same understanding,
that is…when I use the word ‘mechanics’…as this that Jesus, is
supposed to one day stand upon this earth in the Millennium, and we with
Him.  Now, the point is, has that happened?  The answer is…'no'. Is it
yet to happen?  The answer is…'yes'.  Is it specified in the Bible as
a doctrine?  Yes.  So therefore, at present it is mechanical.  In other
words, It hasn’t been quickened, to the reality, that It will have
yet.  

2.	Now, we have found that if God holds to a certain pattern, which if
that pattern, He has not discarded for another one, it is more than
possible and indeed a fact, that there must be some sort of Presence and
Appearing, and even revelation of Him, who is variously called
‘Lord’, ‘Christ’, ‘Lord Jesus Christ’, ‘Son of man’, and
the pronoun, ‘Him’.  I’ll go over that, so you’ll understand
what I’m saying.  And that is, there is a mechanical doctrine,
concerning His Presence.  And that Presence is more than just a
presence.  It is known as revelation, and Appearing.  Now, we are saying
this, that if God holds to a certain pattern, which if He has not
discarded that certain pattern that He once had, it is more than
possible, and indeed it is a fact, that there must be some sort of
Presence and Appearing, in revelation of Him who is called by these
various titles.  

	That surely, God has a way of bringing this into reality for us.  Now,
the question is, has He had a way?  Is there a way in the Bible, such a
way, being amongst us?   So, there must be a way if this is a true
doctrine.  That this will come into evidence, that it will come to pass.
 Now, that the Presence of Him, …that is one person, or they, more
than one…is set forth in Scripture, is irrefutable.  There’s nothing
that anybody can do about the fact that there is something said in
Scripture, concerning the Presence.  

3.	And we saw that last night, in Matthew 24:3 where the disciples came
together and said, 

		(3)	… what shall be the sign of thy (Presence)…

	Now, don’t read it ‘coming.’  It is, ‘what is the sign of Thy
Presence.’  Now if you want to go fundamental, and say, “Well, what
sign will be in evidence, that You at a future time will be Present?” 
Then, you are simply interpreting what you see there, and you are not
violating the Word, by calling it ‘coming.’  “What is the sign of
Thy Presence?”  In verse 27 of the same chapter, It also says, 

		(27)	For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even

                        unto the west; so shall also the (Presence) of
the Son of man be.  

	Not, ‘coming.’  It’s not a quick zap of lightning, that suddenly
says, “Boom.” He’s come…boom…He’s gone.  It doesn’t say
that. It is using the thought of lightning here, which is really,
literally, as most of the students take it as a flash, His Presence is
going to be. And when you trace the root word back, you’ll find it
comes from the root word of ‘star,’ which could even mean His
Presence is like a comet.  But it isn’t that at all.  It’s His
Presence, is a heavenly illumination. Is what it will be.  As Bro.
Branham said so correctly, “The light moves from the east to the
west.” Again, in 37 and 39,

		(37)	…as (it was in) the days of Noe … (as it was in the days of
Lot, or

                        that time) so shall (His Presence) be.

4.	Now, in each case you’ll notice, that it’s called the Son of man.
And this was in direct reference to the question, “What shall be the
sign of Your …Jesus’…Presence.”  And He calls it, ‘Son of
man.’ Again, we found in 1 Corinthians 15: 22-23, where it is speaking
of the First Resurrection.  And It says:

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

		(23)	But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits;
afterward

                        (the dead come out of the ground) at his
(Presence).

	Now notice, Jesus terms Himself, ‘Son of man.’ Do you notice here,
the Holy Ghost defines the Presence as of Christ.  Which means, ‘the
anointed,’ or, ‘the anointing.’  Then in 1 Thessalonians 2:19, we
see another appellation.  

		(19)	… what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even

                       (you) in the (sight) of our Lord Jesus Christ at
his (Presence)?

5.	The terminology ‘Lord Jesus Christ,’ the same terminology ‘Lord
Jesus Christ at His Presence,’ is used in 3:13.  And then, in 1
Thessalonians 4:15, 

		(15)	For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which

                        are alive and remain unto the (Presence) of the
Lord shall not take 

                        any pre-eminence over) them which are asleep.

	You’ll notice the appellation is used here as of Lord, and in 2 Peter
3:4 referring to Lord and Savior, as…we’ll just read It for you
there, it has to do with scoffers coming in the last day. 

		(4)	… Where is the promise of his (Presence)? for since the fathers

                        fell asleep, all things continue as they were
from the beginning of the

                        creation.

6.	Now, there isn’t anybody who can deny that there has to be a
Presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, as a man.  There has to be the
Presence of somebody called ‘The Lord.’  There has to be the
Presence of the Holy Spirit not incarnated, or the Holy Spirit
incarnated.  And when you use the word, ‘Lord,’ which you would, in
1 Thessalonians 4: and compare it to the Psalms, and to the Matthew 22:
44. You will find that,

		(44)	The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, …

                        

	And according to 1 Corinthians the Lord Jesus Christ is God, Elohim,
Almighty God, El Elah, Holy Ghost.  And our Lord is Jesus. ( See?) So
therefore, when the Lord said to my Lord, David is saying concerning
Lord Jesus, and the Lord over Him is Elohim. Then Elohim, can descend
from heaven with a Shout.  So therefore, when I say that the Presence of
Him in the singular, or they in the plural, is set forth in Scripture.
Period! And I don’t care what you do with it.  That’s your business.
 I’m teaching what I see the prophet said.  That becomes our
collective business.  But I’m speaking in terms of terminology of
those who might be outside the church, that do not understand what we
teach.  

7.	There is a Presence, to be reckoned with.  Why hasn’t It been
reckoned with?  Now, Rotherham tells us, “It’s too hard to get
to.” It’s a series of divine interpositions, that start at a certain
specific time.  Now, the Bible puts it, at the end-time.  And
invariably, is situated in the proximity of, or adjacent to, the
Resurrection.  And you know the Resurrection goes right to the Rapture. 
The Rapture goes to the Wedding Supper.  The Wedding Supper goes to the
Millennium.  The Millennium goes to the White Throne.  The White Throne
goes to Mount Zion.  It’s a continuation.  Now, as I mentioned, all
these appellations show there is a Presence of One or more.  So, it
could be the Father, it could be the Son, it could be the Son and the
Father.  

	Now, that shows there is some sort of Presence, and has to do with the
living and dead, especially at the time of the Resurrection.  Because, I
don’t care who comes down, whether God comes down, and the Son comes
down, absolutely, they both come down.  But Somebody comes down ahead of
the Son, or I don’t know my Bible.  I’m completely fooled.  So
therefore, you start with a Presence, and you come into two Presences. 
But when you come into the second Presence, the first Presence
incarnates Himself in the second Presence.  Do you follow what I’m
saying?  All right.  

8.	Now, sometime at the Resurrection, it also carries over according to
John 14: 

		(3)	…that where I am, (there) you may be also.

	So, the Presence carries over from the time when we are in the Presence
of the literal, glorified, Lord Jesus Christ, super human being, God
incarnated Person.  You’ve got a guarantee, that things will go on in
that light forever.  Because He said, “That where I am, there you’re
going to be.”  And where He is, He's caught up in those clouds, where
we’re going to meet Him.  And from that time, it is indissoluble, as
far as I understand Scripture, concerning the flesh.  I know of no
place, you say, “Well Bro. Vayle, what happens when God appears in a
symbol to Israel?”  That’s the Holy Spirit in a Pillar of Fire.  But
we stay with Jesus, the body at the Wedding Supper.  

	And I don’t understand all about the fact that when He presents
Himself.  But this guy maintained the Scripture says, when that Presence
comes, there has to be that attendance with Him.  You say, “Well how
would that be?”  Have you ever stopped to think that a glorified man
can go through a wall, and travel faster than the speed of thought? 
We’ll still be with Him, but He’ll be the One that reveals Himself. 
I have no problems. Now, then there is the revelation that comes with
this.  And that is a time of God, especially revealing Himself.  So,
with the Presence, comes the Apokalupsis.  With the Parousia, comes the
Apokalupsis.  

9.	All right, we go over here, to the Book of 1 Corinthians 1: which is
of course, my favorite verse and starting point…and It says, 

		(7)	So that (you) come behind in no gift; waiting for the
(Apokalupsis) 					of  (the) Lord Jesus Christ:

	Well look, if He’s going to reveal Himself, He’s got to be there to
do it.  You’re waiting for it.  Now, at that time, He reveals Himself.
 He is doing something for the living. Which we’ll go into a little
later.  

		(8)	Who shall also confirm you unto the end, (that is, establish you, 
					permanently) that (you) may be blameless …

	Absolutely, no one can even point a finger at you.  There is no way,
because It says you are guiltless.  How’d you like to have that
feeling?  Well, it’s available today.  It’s been available for some
time.  Blameless and guiltless, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.  

10.	 Again, in the Book of Ephesians 1:17, It says to those already full
of the Holy Ghost.  I am praying,

		(17)	(I am praying) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, …

	Now, who’s the God of our Lord Jesus Christ? The Lord said unto My
Lord.  The Lord that said unto My Lord, is the God of our Lord Jesus
Christ. All right.  

		(17)	That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, …

 	I want you to know that Jesus has a God.  So does God have a God? 
Now, a cat can have kittens, but God doesn’t have God.  You see? 
You’ve got to let your thinking go entirely, and go entirely to the
Bible and forget anything you ever thought of, and go right to that
Word.  It says, 

		(17)	…the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, …

	He worshipped Him. When Jesus was here on earth, He worshipped.  Who
did He worship?  He worshipped God.  

11.  Now notice, He is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, and over here,
in Ephesians 1:3,

		(3)	Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, …

 	So therefore, the God of the Lord Jesus Christ, is the Father of the
Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Holy Ghost.  "For the Holy Ghost shall
come upon you."  So, who’s going to come into the Church?  The God of
the Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory.  

		(17b)	…may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in

                        the knowledge of him: (the Apokalupsis. The same
Apokalupsis, 						that will make you blameless.)

  

	Now brother/sister, let’s face it.  He’s not talking about the
Resurrection, although it’s going to be there.  He’s not talking
about your change, although it is going to be there.  He is not talking
about the Rapture, although it’s going to be there.  He is not talking
about the Wedding Supper, though it’s going to be there.  He is not
talking about the Millennium.  He is talking about His revelation by the
Spirit of God.  Then, keep it there.  Now, you can carry it any way you
want, if you want to be a backslidden trinitarian.  Which is a heathen. 
Or you want to be some kind of a fundamentalist.  Be my guest.  

12.	If you want to be a discerning person, showing you have the Holy
Ghost, you will take every Word of this Bible, and not change one word
of It.  Now, Paul is praying concerning the living.  These, are living
Christians.  He doesn’t say, “Hallelujah, one of these days, by the
grace of God, with my prayer, and the wonderful work of the Holy Ghost,
you’ll be dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.  Then He’ll come and raise,
raise, raise, raise, raise.”  Well, come on.  That’s fundamentalism.
 Because they tell you the Parousia, and the Apokalupsis, is in the
Rapture.  And you’ll never get there, unless you are changed in your
body.  Now, what is he saying?  What is he saying?  He’s talking to
Holy Ghost filled people.  

 

	He himself, was there when that work was started under a wrong ages,
which was under Apollos.  Who knew the things of God, to a degree.  And
he went down to Ephesus and he told them about John’s baptism.  And
Jesus’ coming.  And Paul went down there, and he found disciples, and
he knew something was wrong. 

 

13.	So, he said, …well he said, “Have you folk received the Holy
Ghost?”  You see, they weren’t catching things that any man full of
the Holy Ghost should catch. 

	“Why,” they said, “Man alive, we haven’t heard whether there be
any Holy Ghost.” 

	He said, “Well then, for heaven’s sake, what were you baptized
unto?” Now see how important water baptism is?  It gives you the Holy
Ghost, if you know what it’s all about, or know anything at all.  

	 So, why he said, “Why, unto John’s baptism.” 

	Why he said, “Man that won’t do it.”   

	And when they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, they
laid hands on them, and It says, they were full of the Holy Ghost.  Now,
this is the bunch that Paul was talking to.  Now is he suddenly saying,
“Well folk, I’m like dear old Apollos, I boo booed.  I went on down
there, and I’m sorry to say you didn’t get the Holy Ghost after all,
it’s pitiful…forgive me?” 

 	Hog wash!  He said, “Your faith and your love abound, and you’re
part of the Election.  Now I’m praying, the Spirit of revelation, come
in the midst of you.”  What’s he going to do? Why It says, he’s
going to reveal God.  A special knowledge that Paul himself had not
given.  And if he was able to give It, they couldn’t receive It, until
that Spirit got there.  Because, that Spirit Himself, had to get in that
Word.  And quicken, and to make the Word alive.  That’s your
Apokalupsis.  

14.  In 2 Thessalonians 1: you get the same Word.  

		(7)	And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus

                        shall be revealed from heaven with (the) angels
(of His might),

		(8) 	In (flames of) fire…

	In seven theophanies that came down. Yes, seven theophanies that came
down in 1965.  Revealed from heaven.  Apokalupsis.  A special time of
rest.  Wouldn’t you enter into rest, if you knew you were guiltless,
and confirmed to the end.  Sealed in.  Wouldn’t you be at rest? 
That’s what we’re talking about.  See?  

15.	All right.  Also, He’s called Lord Jesus, Apokalupsis, Presence, 1
Peter 1:7.

		(7)	That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of

                        gold that (perishes), though it be tried with
fire, might be found

                        unto (the) praise and honor and glory at the
(Apokalupsis) of

                        Jesus Christ: (But, did it?)

  	"Thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of
nothing; and 			knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable,  and
poor, and blind, and naked: 			I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in
the fire."  [Rev 3:17-18]

	 They didn’t have it, and they haven’t got it.  Because the
revelation showed exactly what they were and who they were.  Their
pedigree and the whole thing.  And these men were praying, “O God, let
those saints not lose their virginity under the Word.  Let them not go
down into spiritual blindness and degradation, when He appears on the
scene.”  That’s the kind of church He appeared to, and Appeared in
the midst of.  That’s the revelation He Himself had of the church. 
And the church stands back and says, “Bless God, we don’t lack a
thing, Hallelujah.  We talked in tongues, especially rich in goods.”  

16.	Full Gospel Businessmen ran around the world, saying they’re going
to win souls to Christ. 

Let everybody know He’s a good God, gives them millions.  That’s the
biggest bunch of hogwash I’ve ever heard in my life.  Drop dead.  What
they’re really saying is, “Come and take a look at us big guys. Come
and fawn over us, because, Hallelujah, we’ve got it made.”  So,
little gullible jerks came running in.  And the big shots fleeced them. 
(Phfft!) That’s for your golden calf scheme.  Don’t tell me, I know,
I was there.  Once they got through boasting, one of us, probably the
richest guy here, “I’ve got four million.” And then sent me a
letter in the mail, asking me for money.  Put his stinking money where
his stinking mouth is.  I do.  You bet your life, done it after all
these years, and I intend to do it.  I don’t want your money, or
somebody else’s money.  Spend somebody else’s money, what kind of
hogwash is that?  Uh?  I could preach a sermon, but that’s not the
message.  I could get really into it though, you’d be just as blessed.
 That’s not the purpose.

17.	1 Peter 1:13, and It says:

		(13)	Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, (mind, mind, mind, 

                         the age of the mind) be sober, and hope to the
end for the grace

                         that is to be brought unto you at the
revelation (in other words,

                         earnestly expect that you’re going to get a
special kind of grace

                         when He Appears.  In His Presence, revealed in
His Presence.) 

                     

	[1 Peter] 4:13

		(13)	But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings;

                        that, … his glory shall be revealed,
(absolutely shown forth, and) 

                        ye may be glad … with exceeding joy.

	Okay.  Partakers of His sufferings.  And at that time, when He is
revealed, you will be glad.  I’m going to tell you something.  I’m
not here to boast you, but every single step I talked about,  I have
experienced in a measure in my life.  This last year starting in last
May, I was never so down in my life.  Never so desperate, never so
pushed.  But never felt the grace and the love and the compassion of
Almighty God, as I felt from Him, not from men.  I’m going to tell you
the truth, because we’re not fooling anymore.  I know in my heart,
this Word is doing something.  I’ll explain a little later on.  You
sit here, and you listen.  You say, “Vayle, you make yourself
somebody.”  Say what you want, you’ve missed the whole point.  I’m
talking about God’s Word.  

 	The Word that Bro. Branham said, “Take that little book and eat
it.”

 	  And I said, “Bro. Branham, is that you?” 

	  He said, “No, that’s the Word.” Going to cause kings to
tremble, everything else.  

18.	All right.  Finally, in Revelation 1:1 we see where John himself,
uses the same Word.  And he said the revelation …I’ll read It to
you, I can’t quote It, never did memorize It. 

		(1)	The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to

                         shew unto his servants (those) things (that)
must shortly come to 						pass;…

	And in that revelation, a whole book is spread over Seven Church Ages,
culminating in our hour.  Parousia… Apokalupsis … Appearing…
Phanero. The word ‘Appearing’ should never be called
‘appearing’.  It should be called ‘manifestation’.  Because it
means ‘more, that to appear’.  It means to literally exhibit exactly
what it truly is.  No hypocrisy, nothing added, nothing taken.  This is
it.  Now, people didn’t want that.  They didn’t want that back when
Jesus was in His flesh, they don’t want it today.  

19.	All right.  The Word is clearly understood.  Let’s go to the Book
of John. That might be the best place to start.  John 3:21

		(21)	But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may

                        be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

	Now, It tells you right here, if you want to know whether your deeds
are absolutely of the correct nature, you’ve got to take it to the
Word of God.  Now, I don’t care what a man does.  He said, “Well,
I’m going to be right. Because I’m going to be right.”  Then
you’re being right, for the sake of being right.  Now, what is right? 
What is right, starts right down here, as to the motivation of why
you’re doing it in the first place.  (See?)  

	A man says, “All right. I’m going to start giving to God, because
the Bible says, ‘Give and it shall be given unto you’.”  And
people’s preachers come by, and incite the people to greed.  And they
say, “I’m going to give, and God will pile it on.”  I use the same
principle, but not with that in my mind.  

20.	I knew I had to give beyond the tithe, because, I had nothing to
live on.  Me and my wife, just a few miserable dollars per week.  And
that was fine, we did get by.  Our colleagues were living in nice motels
running after Bro. Branham, eating steaks.  My wife and I were living in
the poorest flophouses under high heaven, under any condition you could
imagine almost.  And if we… always like Howard Johnson’s because
their coffee was always good in those days.  And their rye bread was
good.  If we were lucky, and we were, we could get a piece of meat put
between it.  I knew I had to start doing something.  For years and
years, I gave twenty percent, the extra ten percent.

	People said, “Well Bro. Vayle, you can do it, but they couldn’t. 
They had good jobs, and way more money than I had.   But they couldn’t
do it.  Let me tell you something, don’t look me in the eye ever and
make me a liar, or I’ll clobber you with a 4 x 4.  When you’ve been
down the road, where I’ve been down the road, you talk eyeballing me,
but don’t before me.  Let me tell you flat.  You folk here, don’t
know the first thing about your abc’s.  You’ve never given.  And
when someone gives to you, you get sucked in.  When it’s God that
gives to you, how do you know where that money came from that somebody
gave you to tide you over? 

21.	Did he ever tell you how many thousands of dollars a certain man
might have given him?  I told you I’d lower the boom last night, eh…
son.   We are lowering the boom.  I’m challenging you this morning. 
What do you know about anything and the province of Jesus Christ? 
You’re still back there in the woods.  Have you learned to give beyond
the ten percent?  Well come on.  I don’t want your money.  I take
nothing out of this church.  You’ve got trustees, and elders, and
everybody else sitting here.  Tell them, have I ever taken any money out
of your church?  I put money in.  And on the road, I’ve made thousands
and thousands of dollars, preaching like I preach this morning.   I
don’t need money.  It’s gotten to be a nuisance.  Where’s your
motivation?  I want to know.  

	Why do you tell people certain things?  To look good, to sound good? 
You’re never right for the sake of being right.  That’s a nice place
to start, so you think.  Bring it to the Word, and find out what really
lies in there.  That’s what it means to manifest.  Bro. Branham
saying, “Give it a Word test.”  Doesn’t simply mean, ‘Oh I’ll
just see if it’s in the Word.’  Hogwash.  The word ‘adultery’ is
in the Word, go ahead and do it.  Judas hanged himself, take a crack at
it.  (Huh?)  I’m not kidding, though I am.  Bring it to the light and
find out.  Manifest is manifest.  Get down to the nitty-gritty. 

	 Listen, I preach this way because we’re at the end-time. I’ve got
an abandonment I never had before. You people know sitting here, if you
know anything at all.  I’m preaching different from the last time I
preached there.  There’s a different man in the pulpit.  The shell is
the same, but the inside has changed.  I don’t have any fear anymore. 
I’m not afraid of God, I’m not afraid of the dying.  I don’t have
guilt.  Oh, not like the prophet, because I’m not that nice a man.  If
I was a real nice fellow, I’d be much deeper, I’m embarrassed, I'm
in shamed, but I’m not afraid.  (See?)  

22.	Listen, John 3: I read.  Hence chapter 7 verse 4.  I digressed a
minute, but we got all day today.  I feel good.  I don’t know about
you.  Seven and four, I feel real good.  I feel better than ever.  I
even feel a good spirit here.  I feel things are hopping.  You do? 
Wonderful.  

All right.  Listen, He said: [John 7:4] 

		(4)	… there is no man that doeth anything in secret, and he himself

                        seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these
things, (show) thyself

                        (unto) the world.

	In other words, he said, “You’re doing certain things here, and
you’re keeping your mouth shut.  You are really not being fair with
the people.  You’re doing things, but you’re not telling why
you’re doing them, and who we are.  Bring them into the open, tell
them everything, that’s manifest.  That’s the word, ‘Appear’. 
God in the open. The veil, rent.  God standing there, clean cut.  He
said, “It’s just like the old saying. ‘what you see, is what you
get’.”  (Huh?)  And what we saw, is what God was.  And the people
stood back and said, “Well, that ain’t three of them. I don’t
think I could take that.  Well that goes against the sayings of our
church. That’s out.”  Just like Israel.  What they saw, is what they
got, was God!  

 	And they said, “Well, (Phfft!) I don’t think I like it.”  I
don’t think I want it.  The more I see, the better I like it.  I told
you for many, many, times our marriage gets better and better. Because
my wife gets better and better. Truth. That’s the way of this
revelation, it gets better and better.   I love It more and more. 
(See?)  There’s no fear in it anymore.  

23.	Look, I’m going to tell you.  A white man is not normally afraid
of a white man, same as a black man.  Do you know why?  Because black is
different from white.  You walk up to an Indian, a red man, you get a
little bit shaky, because he’s red and you’re white.  Do you know
why?  There’s a difference there, and it makes you scared.  

	Now, if you were an Indian, you wouldn’t be much afraid of an Indian,
except as a human being who could hurt you.  I’ll be honest with you. 
I was born in Canada, and I saw very few red men, and what I saw, I ran
from.  I saw no black men, so when I saw one, I ran faster, further and
harder.  We had a few Chinamen.  They bugged me.  I’m telling you why.
 There’s a difference there.  It’s not just the fact of humanity, we
were a little afraid of each other.  Because we know what we could do to
each other.  But there’s something more there.  But if that black man
could get off his black skin, and the yellow man his yellow skin, and
the red man his red skin, and the white man, his white skin, should be
just identical.  (See?)  That’s what we’re talking about this
morning. 

24.	 The revelation.  God in plain view.  More and more familiar, and
the familiarity is this:   We’re the same, under the skin.  ‘For the
Colonel’s lady, and Judy O’Grady, are sisters under the skin’.
[quote from a Rudyard Kipling poem] And, so are we with God, when the
skin comes off.  And the skin has come off.  He’s been unveiled just
the way you and I are.  We’re talking now about this word,
‘Appearing’. 

	 In John 9:3

		(3)	Jesus answered, (and said) Neither hath this man sinned, nor his 	
				parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

	He said, “I want to tell you something: here’s an example right
now, how God operates.”  He said, “The man was born blind.  It
wasn’t his father’s and mother’s fault that he was born blind. 
And it wasn’t his fault that he went blind.  It was indicated by God
that he would be blind, and that God would heal him.”  Now, that’s
how God works.  That’s why Irenaeus said, “God being a healer, it
was necessary that God predestinate a sick man, in order for God to heal
him.  To give God, the reason and purpose of being.” God had to
predestinate a sinner, in order to give Himself reason and purpose of
being, because He was a Savior.  And He did it.  Now, all these things
the prophet has broken before us, and He’s brought God into full view.
 

 	And familiarity, had bred contempt.  Where people have turned their
backs on God, instead of loving Him, and rejoicing Him, that the skin
veil’s been broken, and God fully exposed.  But it took a skin to do
it.  You see?  Now, this is at the end-time of the Presence, the
apokalupsis, and the phanero.  Now, He has to be here, to be unveiled
and the unveiling must manifest Him perfectly, correctly, to show who
exactly He is, or we don’t know.  Because we’ve got to see Him, as
He is.  That’s phanero.  Okay.  

25.  We go to Colossians 3:4, and we see what hour we’re in. 
Concerning this thing we speak of.  Because it’s in the Bible.  It’s
got to happen.  I care not what anybody said.  It’s got to happen.  

		(4)	When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, (phanero, manifest) 

                         then shall (you) also appear with him in glory.

	You shall be manifested.  The manifestation of the sons of God, is
complete in the Resurrection.  So therefore, He’s got to be here now,
in order for us to get our manifestation.  And when He stands here, and
reveals Himself, and flesh won’t do it.  Let’s let Him come down
from heaven.  “Lord, come down from heaven.”

	“Thank you Bro. Valye, I’m glad you asked me to come down.  I’ll
come down here, notice my wounded hands.”  

26.	What does that do for you?  Does that mean you’re scot free?  Not
unless He said so.  What’s it going to be for Him to come here, and
stand in His flesh?  What is it going to be?  Tell me.  Are you going to
walk up and talk with Him?  Ha!  Four billion people in the world, to be
aware of it, and goofs like you and me, think we can get to Him.  Even
Ronald Reagan would have a hard job making it.  How are you going to get
to Him?  You’d be scared plumb to death, even want to get to Him.  And
if you saw Him, would you be different from the other people, when He
was there in the flesh?  Tell me.  Would you say, “Mr. God, second
person of the Trinity.”  Or would you look a little squeamish, and
say, “Maybe there’s just one God, after all, He is a man.  And you
come and feel Him and say, “Tell me, are you a man?”  

	Oh, He’s just a man. …?...  Didn’t work.  Wouldn’t work.  At
the time of the Presence, the Apokalupsis, which ends in a complete
disclosure, as to who and as to why, and as to relationship.  We’ll be
right at the Resurrection era.  And we will be exposed, at the same time
exactly who we are, which is sons of God, that the world and we
ourselves will not get credit for.  And we stand back and say, “Yes, a
son of God, but a fallen son.  Yes, a son of God, but a most miserable,
rotten person.”  I was the worst of the works on this.  

27.	You know what?  When I was a kid, twenty-two years old, …that’s
a kid, don’t worry… when you’re sixteen, it’s an old man.  So,
shut up you teenagers, and listen, I was not an old man at twenty-two. 
Trouble is, you’re just like the kid in the Reader’s Digest, who
said, “I’ll never understand my parents, if I live to be eight.” 
I was twenty-two and a kid, and a stupid kid.  I was on the lawn one
day, meditating before God.  And I was viewing myself in the light of
myself which is simply horrendous. As I told you, at twenty years of
age, I looked in a three-way mirror, and I was so traumatized, I never
looked in a three-way mirror again.  So, you can understand, when I
looked into my soul, I was very traumatized.  It was horrible.  And I
looked within myself, and I began criticizing myself, and as I told you
before, what a rotten mess I was.   Which was true, in myself, I was a
rotten mess, and I still am a rotten mess within myself.  So, what. 

	You’re the same as me, and so is everybody else.  So, let’s join
the party, and you know…just take off the hypocritical mask.  So, as I
talked within myself, how unclean I was.     A voice spoke audibly, and
said, “Call that not uncommon or unclean which God has cleansed.” 
But  I was a very, very nice Pentecostal boy, oh I spoke in tongues, and
around the world and back again to get into the throne of grace. Down
into the pit of hell almost, and zoo-pee I was super, super super,
super, super, dooper, dooper, Pentecostal.  So, I said, with the
fullness of the Holy Ghost, “Yeah.”  With the stupidity of an idiot,
sanctimoniously, and so piously, I spit in God’s face.  And I said,
“Yes Lord, but I know myself.”  It left.  Forty-five years ago, I
could have had this experience and walked in it for forty-five years,
and I spit in God’s face.  

28.	This is one reason I told you not long ago, concerning the things
that I’ve done to God, spitting in His face.  It I’d a been God,
I’d have killed me.  Truth.  "But amazing grace, how sweet the sound."
 At this hour, of His revelation, He is not only revealing, nor does He
reveal His holiness,  He reveals His redemption, which is
identification.  I died for you, and I’m here to get you out of this. 
To change you, and to take you with Me, you’ll be with Me for ever. 
This is what I’m talking about.  This is what I know.  

	Now, I know I’m bugging you.  I know I’m bugging you because,
there’s no way I can tell you, other than what I am telling you. 
Before I’m finished, I’m going to try to give you everything out of
my soul.  This is why I said last night, “I want a church to be with
the people,   I can sit down and eyeball you.” 

	And you know that I don’t want any cats in your bag, now, this goes
right across the board.  This is why the board meets all together at all
times, and nobody hides anything.  Because if you start hiding anything
from me, I’m going to walk out your door, and it’s the end of the
day.  Because  we’ve got to become transparent.  Because I’m
preaching today, and telling you why I am the way I am in certain things
I’ve done, and doing.  I’ve been doing it over a period of time, to
let you know you’re not looking at Lee Vayle.  Get that out of your
heads, once and for all.  I’m trying to tell you something.  I stand
here as a servant of God, [long blank spot on tape] to tell you those
things that in myself I would not dare to tell you.  

29.	So, we sit and talk or anything else.  There is no room for levity. 
When I leave this pulpit, I go out there and I fool with you, and I talk
different ways.  I know I do.  But, in here, I’m dead serious, and
I’m eyeballing you.  And I want you to do the same.  Don’t fool with
me.  Because, you see, I know where I am at this morning.  You say,
“Bro. Vayle, will you feel that way next week?” It doesn’t matter
how I feel next week, it’s where I am at.  And who I am, where I am
at.  See?  That’s what we’re talking about.  That’s what this Word
is all about.  That’s why I’m taking all this time on this subject,
because it is He here, Present, doing it.  And if you don’t even know
He’s here, then how can you care less, if He’s doing anything at
all?   

	I know you must be saying, “Oh, Bro. Vayle, you must be sweet and
kind, and gentle.”  Who says I’m not?  I’m just a rough preacher. 
The prophet said, “I’m supposed to do this.”  It’s right on the
tapes. And he said, "We say those things we hate to say, and are so
hard, but, afterward, (he said) it’s you that’s bathed down in the
Holy Ghost." Now what do you want?  Do you want to bathe down in the
Holy Ghost this morning?  Or shall I preach you some nice things?  If
you want me to preach nice things, let’s finish the service here and
start a new song and I will tell you nice little tiddly wink ‘Jesus
loves little children’.  Which He does. (Huh?) And at this stage of
the game, if you believe that way, you’re the littlest children I’ve
seen in all my life, so we’ll play tiddly winks.  Now you say,
“You’re insulting me.”  I am not insulting you, I’m only telling
you, exactly what obtains if you go one direction.  And what obtains if
you go the other direction. I’m just trying to help you.  Right? 
Okay, that’s my job.  So, stick around and listen, the best you can. 

 	 “When Christ who is our life shall appear.  Then shall we also
appear with Him in glory.”  [Col 3:4] He is duty bound, to be here, to
reveal, and show exactly who He is, so that nobody needs to not know who
He is, and why He is here, and what He is doing, and even how He is
doing it, to a great measure.  

30.	Okay.  With that, we go to 1 Timothy 3:16. Now, if you get too
tired, we can always stop this and come back again.  But I’m on page
3, I’ve got about 15 pages, so, just stick with me.  I will not simply
read my notes, I will talk about them, because I’m enjoying myself too
much.  I've got to be honest with you, see.

		(16)	And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

                        God was manifest in the flesh, …

	Now that word is ‘phanero’.  God completely manifested, and showed
Himself exactly who He was.  So that Jesus could say, “He who has seen
Me, has seen the Father”. And He said, “Listen, it’s the Father in
me that does the works.”  [whistles] Man, you see that? And He took a
bunch of…I don’t know too much about farming…but I know one thing
about jute, and hemp and binder twine.  Just you pull that across your
wrist, and [whistles] man, you’ll burn, you’ll scald, and you’ll
blister, it’ll take the hide right off.  And what hide is left,
it’ll blister with those stinking little things in there, they’ll
welt up.  Oh, it’s a dirty, nasty burn.  And He took those thongs and
[whistles three times] like that and whipped them.  You say, “Oh, man,
oh man, oh man, you mean that’s God?” 

31.	“Well, not really.”  Oh yes, really.  Now, "He’s the same
yesterday, and today, and forever." [Heb 13:8]  They didn’t like Him
then, and they won’t like Him now.  For Jesus said, “If I had not
done the works that no other man did, they had not sinned.  But now
they've both seen and hated both Me and My Father.” [Jn 15:24] And you
go to a man who denies divine healing, like the Church of Christ.  And
they’ll swear they love Jesus to high heaven.  And will die. 
They’re liars, they’re liars, they’re liars.  Now, you go away and
say, “Vayle is a dirty rotten cur.”  And I’ll tell you, “You
need to be born again.”  Because you made my God a liar.  Now, who are
you going to believe this morning?  Are we lovely nice people?  “Oh,
everybody loves Jesus, Hallelujah. Everybody going to go to heaven.” 
No, no.  When 99.99 percent are going to go to hell, in this last age.  
 

 

	Now, I want to repeat again. “They have both seen, and hated both me
and my Father.”          [Jn 15:24] "And they crucify to themselves
the Son of God afresh," [Heb 6:6]  not the Son of man.  The Son of man
revealed, was the Son of God.  And they can’t get to the Son of man,
so they take the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and throw It outside, and
say, “Ain’t nothing to it.  In fact, it’s the devil.”  (Do you
follow what I’m saying?) God was manifest.  God thoroughly in view,
that’s God, that’s the kind of a God He is, that’s what God does,
that’s how God acts.  

  	 Now listen.  God in Elisha was not the same thing.  He had the Holy
Ghost, and he got mad.  Used the Holy Spirit wrong, said, “Let those
kids be cursed.” [2 Kg 2:24] Two she bears, came out and killed about
forty kids.  That’s not it.  That wasn’t it. Jesus said, “Look it,
you can get away with anything today you want, call me any devil you
want.  But, there’s coming a day when you won’t get away with it.”
 That hour is right now.  

32.	All right.  We go to, 2 Timothy 1:10. 

		(10)	But is now (is) made manifest (phanero, the Appearing, the 						
epiphinea. God enlightening Himself to the people) … of our 					
Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought 					
(forth) life and immortality to light through the gospel:

	Now notice, what He is doing now, making manifest, bringing into full
view.  Declaring, showing Himself exactly who, what, where and why and
the whole thing, by His shining forth.  Now, what’s shining forth? 
The Word.  Without the Word, no man knows anything about God. Period! 
Except certain little basic laws that don’t really mean anything. 
I’m not critical of Bro. Branham, but he talks about the sap rising
and falling, the sun rising and falling, and that’s about a
resurrection.  Oh, what if you’d never heard of a resurrection, and 
believed in a resurrection?   What does that do for you?  You could even
go haywire on it.  They had the same sap rising and falling, the leaves
falling off the plants, dying, and coming back.  The same sun rising and
falling in the days of Paul, and many said, “Well, the Resurrection is
over.” 

33.	 So, why didn't the sun set forever, and no more sap will go up and
down?  I don’t put nature together like Bro. Branham does.  I agree
that you can see God in nature; according to the Book of Romans, exactly
that there is a God, and you can see that there is immutable laws in
nature.  So therefore, God is a God of immutable laws.  And you can see
reflection of those things in nature.  But you cannot read it right
until you come here.  Or, God would’ve sent Bro. Branham, and said,
“Now, Bro. Bill, close your book, and I’ll just take you out there
in nature, and we’ll talk from nature.  Hogwash, he went right to the
Bible.  

   	Listen, God is going to destroy nature, but you show me where
He’ll destroy this.  God will have to renew nature.  Show me where He
ever changed this, or has to change it.  Tell it yes,  interpret it,
yes, but show me where He changes it.  Not one Word.  Give me the good
old Book.  I’ll tell ya, I’ll stick to the Bible…not that Bro.
Branham didn’t.  I’m just drawing you an illustration here, as to
how he preached as a prophet, and how I teach as an individual, in a
teaching ministry.  

34.	Okay.  We got to 2 Timothy, we now go to, 1 Peter 5:4, we’re
talking about mechanics. 

		(4)	And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, (absolutely manifest

                        Himself as to who He is) (you) shall receive a
crown of glory…

 	In other words, when that takes place, that is the time that you know
you are going to be glorified, and you are going to be presented at the
Bema Seat, and you are going to receive from God, for your faithfulness.
 In other words, it’s what Rotherham said, “It starts a series of
events.”  And it keeps on going.  And according to the Word of God, as
I understand it, it never, never stops.  

35.	 All right.  Now we go a little further, right down the line.  We go
to 1 John 1:1-2.

		(1)	That which was from the beginning, (in the beginning was the 

                        Word. See?) which we have heard, which we have
seen with our 

                         eyes, which we have looked upon, (which) our
hands have handled, 

                         of the Word of life;

		(2)	 (For the life was phaneroo.) …

	  The life absolutely declared exactly what kind of a life it was in
that body.  

	Now listen, let's just have pause to think my brother/sister.  That’s
what Bro. Branham tried to get us to do, all through 'The Unveiling of a
Mighty God', and 'Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed' and many of his
wonderful sermons, he tried to get us right down to the place. Hey,
look, look, look, when you saw Jesus, you looked at a man. That’s all
you saw, and you discounted God, you wouldn’t look beyond it.  I’m
trying to do the same thing this morning, the prophet tried to do with
us.  To get you to understand that’s all there was to see.  And he
wasn’t clowning. 

36.	 Oh, men want a sideshow.  Oh, they want something fantastic. They
want a Barnum and Bailey three-ringed circus.  God is not a clown, He is
not a three-ringed circus.  What you saw, is what He was.  They
couldn’t get it.  So, the Holy Spirit had to reveal It.  And Peter saw
It.  James and John saw It.  And one day they came back and said,
“Hey, You know people are calling you a lot of things.”   

	Well, He said, “What if people are calling Me the Son of man, what am
I supposed to be?”  

	“Well, you’re Elijah, you’re Elisha, you’re this, you’re
that, you’re this or this other thing.” 

 "Well, he said, “Who do you say that I am?”  

	Peter said, “I say that Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living
God.” 

	 And he said, “Peter, let Me tell you something. Exactly what you
saw, is exactly what I am.”

	But  he said, “You never connected to understand and know It, unless
God revealed It to 		you”.  

	You never would get it.  Why do you think they turned down Elijah?  Why
do you think they wanted to kill Moses?  Why do you think they hated
Joseph?  Why do you think they hated every prophet?  And despised every
prophet.  And despised Paul, and tried to kill him.  And they did a
pretty good job too.  And why do you think they tried to get rid of
William Branham in this sense, they repudiated him.  Why?  As men, those
men were fantastic. They had more daring do, and guts and everything
manly and courageous, and godly, than the rest of them put together. 
But they said, “Let’s get him.”  But all they saw was exactly what
they were going to get, and they said, “Hey, if William Branham was
that guy, he’d a come to us.  If William Branham was this guy, he’d
a done this.” 

37.	Let me tell you something.  Don’t be a free thinker.  Two spirits
are in the church, and both of them come from hell.  One’s Nicolaitan,
and tried to regiment your thinking.  And the other is free thinking,
where you think you can think it yourself.  You’ve had a Laodicean
spirit in this church, when Bro. Branham was alive.  As soon as he was
dead, they quit going to church, and made a tape a pastor.  And now
you’ve got people dissatisfied with pastors.  They want to stay home,
because they can get it better.  Come on.  I’m not kidding, I’ll
meet you at Judgment Day.   I’m going to answer for every word over
this pulpit.  This morning, I’m very well prepared. No way, will I
take back what I said.  That spirit’s in the church.  

	Wouldn’t be hard to get in here.  Don’t kid yourselves.  The more
we get in this Word, the more changes begin to come, the more the
devil’s going to fight.  Because the gates of hell are against the
revelation I’m trying to bring you, the prophet said so.  I believe
the prophet.  If he didn’t have It, ain’t nobody got It.  

	[1 John 1:]

		(2)	 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear

                         witness, and (show) unto you that eternal life,
which was with 

                         the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

 	You know, this proves what I have been saying for years.  The word
‘zoe,’ is not eternal life.  The word ‘zoe’ is what you get
‘zoology’ from.  It’s simply life.  But it’s meant to go on
eternally with God.  So therefore, when they saw Him, they saw the real
man, the real Lord from heaven.  And when they saw Him resurrected, they
saw what you and I are going to be and will be by the grace of God, and
It was still that man two feet, two hands, two eyes, eating and drinking
and living in the supreme life of Almighty God.  And It said, “We saw
it, and we weren’t thrown for a loop.”  No, they weren’t thrown
for a loop.  

38.  1 John 3:1-2

		(1)	Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,

                        that we should be called the sons of God:
therefore, the world

                        (knows) us not, …

	Why, there’s nothing to see to differentiate. Why they say those
people are lovely, kind, and sweet and self-sacrificial.  Hogwash!  I
can take you to India and get it far better over there in certain cults.
 Bro. Branham said, “Even Christian Science puts us to shame there.”
 Listen:

		(2)       Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it (hath) not yet
appear 

                        (come into existence, manifested itself. In it's
true absolute life.)

                        … but we know that, when he shall, (Manifest
Himself in His true

                        absolute life.)

 	Just a minute, He already did.  Then He’s got to do it again.  That
time, there was no Resurrection and Rapture.  Pardon me, there was a
resurrection and rapture.  But there was no changing of human bodies on
earth.  That’s what I should’ve said.  I stand corrected.  This,
what we’re talking about here, is a group of men changed in their
flesh.  And therefore, He’s got to Appear again, and manifest Himself
exactly.  

39.	Now listen.  If He’s up there in the clouds, forget it.  He better
get down here where I can see Him.  I’m pragmatic, because I’ve got
to see Him as He is.  I’ve got to recognize. I’ve got to be kindred
spirit.  I’ve got to have union.  I’ve got to know as I’m known,
it says so in the Bible.  

	And It says, I’m going to get my change.  Then I’m going to get
caught up.  So therefore, we have Presence, unveiling, definitive,
understanding of the Person, Presence and unveiled to the extent we know
who He is.  His character, and what He is doing, and how we are involved
in It.  And we’re not even changed.  Wonderful.  

	Okay.  This is also placed at the Resurrection.  We’re still talking
mechanics. There is no doubt that whatever event or events at whatever
time and under whatever conditions must occur,  this is the Bible.  This
is going to occur.  The major trouble in understanding of this Presence,
attended by true revelation, constitutes an Appearing, that begins here
on earth.  And never ceases its relationship with the Bride, is due to
the misconception of, Heb.1:1-2.

		(1)	God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time

                        past unto the fathers (in) the prophets,

		(2)	 Hath in these last days spoken unto us (in) Son, whom he hath 

                         appointed heir of all things, by whom also he
made the worlds;

40.	And so therefore, the mind logically concludes, one time He was in
the prophets  and He spoke.  Now, He’s in the Son, Hallelujah, that
ends it.  No more prophets, glory to God, that does it.  That’s
exactly what they believe.  Because, God Appeared in Jesus Christ, and
instituted salvation through that sacrificial Lamb, in a once for all
salvation for sin.  Has seduced the minds of men to disbelieve, that God
can work any other way then through a continuation of the working of the
Holy Spirit, giving them rebirth, which started at Pentecost.  And ends
with the Rapture.  Which to them is the bodily Presence, Appearing, and
revelation that’s exactly where they stand.  They said, “I’m born
again, I’ve got it all, who cares, so what.”  That means when God
said, “I’m going to send Elijah,” and send him to the Jews.  

	That means when God says, “I’m going to Appear down here.”  They
say, “No way, You’re up there.”  Because we don’t need nothing,
we’ve got it all.  That’s the fundamental mind, and don’t tell me
different.  I know what I’m talking about.  Because I had a
fundamental mind, until I got renewed.  I repented.  Repent means, to
change your mind.  The devil has absolutely blinded man’s eyes to
Herews13:8.  

		(8)	Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

	And, Revelations 1:8 

		(8)	I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the 

                        Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to
come, the Almighty.

41.  Now, take that to the Book of Ecclesiastes 3: and begin reading
please, about verse 13 and 14.  And we will begin to see exactly what
it’s all about. 

		(14)	 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing

 			 can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it,

                         that men should fear before him.

 	In other words, when you know that God is doing something in your
hour, which you know by Scripture, He did before, and It follows the
exact pattern. You better start getting scared, because God’s there. 
You better start getting respectful to God.  

		(15)	That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already

                        been; and God requireth that which is past.

	Now, that is exactly Hebrew 13:8, He doesn’t change, nor do His ways
change.  But they’re going to tell you His ways did change.  That’s
the fundamental mind, that’s the mind of Cain.  Now, it denies… they
deny Hebrews 1:2 as to any possibility, as to being in effect today. 
Yet, the same corrupted end the seed teachers, can quote Paul like a
house of fire on a windy day. And read Galatians 1:11-12 where Paul
himself, was a prophet to whom the Pillar of Fire came.  They’ll read
over there in 1 Corinthians 11:2 where Paul said, “…follow the
ordinances that I gave you.”  And read in the first part of verse 23
of the same chapter, that Paul said, “I received It from God.”  In 1
Corinthians 14:36-37 where he said, “What? came the word of God out of
you? or did It come unto you?”   And he said, “If any man is a
prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I
write…, are the commandments of Almighty God.” 	

		

42.	Also, they understand and read over there in the Book of Ephesians
4:7-21. 

		(11)	(there’s) apostles; prophets, (teachers); evangelists; and
pastors;

	And they will perfect the Church, and bring them right unto the
Resurrection.  And also, in 2 Corinthians 5:  they well recognize and
understand, that we are ambassadors, we take the place of Jesus Christ. 
And the same ones who read over here in Ephesians 4:  suddenly close
their eyes, and draw a blank, and act as though nothing were there, when
Paul says, 

		(20)	 But (you) have not so learned Christ;

		(21) 	If so be (you) have heard him, and have been taught by him, as 	
				the truth is in Jesus (Christ):

	I want to ask you a question.  When did they hear Jesus Christ, and
when were they taught by Him?  God was in the prophet, the apostle Paul.
 Tell me when He’s changed.  Tell me when He’s changed.  Cannot
these men see how Paul received revelation by the Holy Spirit veiled in
a Pillar of Fire?  Which voice called Himself Jesus.  Which is identical
to John’s own testimony in Revelation 1:  Same One talked to John. 
Can’t they see God has used, and must always use prophets.  Cannot
they see Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 which I read, is actually Revelation 1:8
combined, to make Hebrew 13:8.  Certainly they can.  But how then will
they believe in a pope, or an elder, or a chairman, or a president, or a
synod?  (See?)  I’m coming, at the time I come, false prophets,
individuals are going to arise. 

 

43.	With great and wonderful ministries.  Patterned on my ministry, but
they won’t say what I said.  No way.  Now there’s got to be a true
prophet, before there’s a false one.  You see?  Now, they’ll say,
“Hey, he’s over there in the desert.” He said,  “Forget it.” 
You don’t have to run to India or someplace here, and run there, to
get to some stupid guru, or some teacher.  It’s already been done. 
Look around, and see what’s been done.  What’s been going on,
there’s nothing new under the sun.  You don’t have to go someplace
where some men get together and say, “Well, we’ll decide what this
is all about.” Like a bunch of preachers did in this Message.  They
tried to get together and solve certain things, when they should’ve
merely come together to discuss personal problems, and pray for each
other.  

	But no, they were going to settle doctrine.  Can’t they see that
Deuteronomy 18: speaking of a prophet, coincides with Acts 3:19-26. 
Where the same Scripture says, that a prophet will be raised up like
unto Moses, …who is Jesus the Christ.  Who at the end-time, must once
more appear, in order to bring forth the revelation.  

44:  Let’s go and look at it.  I’m going to read in Deuteronomy 18. 
 

		(15)	The LORD (your) God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the

                        midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me;
unto him (you) shall 						(hear) hearken;

		(16)     According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in 

                        Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me
not hear again

                        the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see
this great fire

                        any more, that I die not. 

	Now, let’s just read what It says. 

		(15)	The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the

                        midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me;
unto him (you) shall

                        hearken;

		

		(16)     According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in 

                        Horeb in the day of the assembly, (when you
said) Let me not

                        hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither
let me see

                        this great fire any more, that I die not. 

45.	Now that’s what they asked, and that’s what God said He would do
concerning a prophet like Moses.  Then He said, referring to Jesus,
“There wasn’t any Pillar of Fire.  They heard a man.”  They
didn’t see the Pillar of Fire, they didn’t hear any voice out of the
Pillar of Fire.  They saw a man, and they heard a man.  Now that’s
exactly what took place.  And the prophet to be raised up was like
Moses, Pillar of Fire, no thunder, no lightening, but a man coming back
and telling them.  Now, that’s how God operates.  You say, “But hey,
I can’t see the Pillar of Fire.  I can’t hear the thunder. How am I
going to know?”  Very simple says God.  Man comes on the scene, and he
says, “I am one that God sent.”  Well fine, give us a sign. 

	 You bet, no trouble at all.  “Thus Saith the Lord, tomorrow morning
at two o’clock, no, around nine o’clock in the morning, when you
come by to pick me up and Billy Paul, and Bro. Baxter, there will not be
the same driver in the same car. And there will be a man in a white suit
with a white cane, beating a black man.  And suddenly a strange bird
shall fly over hill… ahead, and Bro. Baxter will say, “What a
strange bird.”  Thus Saith the Lord.”  

	And it came to pass.  Then, what was he?  “Oh, he was a mind
reader.”  You just went to hell on that one.  Because you called the
Holy Ghost a devil.  I didn’t write the Book, I preach It.  What do
you want?  What does anybody want?  He spoke in the Son.  Never to speak
in the Son again as far as we are concerned.  Because we don’t know
him after the flesh anymore. And when we get to his flesh, it won’t be
necessary 'cause we're all one.  Now, what’s He going to do?  He’s
going to have a prophet.  

46.  Okay, let’s go back to Acts 3: Now listen, is it clear to you
what I’m getting at?  This is the mechanics. We haven’t hit the
dynamics yet.  Just wait awhile.  That’s about 2 o’clock this
afternoon, … you thought I was kidding, but, I beg your pardon. I
might have told you the truth.  All right, listen, Acts 3:19

		(19)	… when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence 			
		of the Lord.

	When a revival shall break, based upon what the eye can see of God. 
And what the eye sees, is like nature, and manifested works.  It
doesn’t say 'here', It says ‘sees’.  So therefore, a healing
revival breaks forth. Which does not end, but unfortunately, goes to the
false anointed, for manifestation.  But It doesn’t mean that we missed
it.  We can still have it.  Now, at that time It says, 

		(20)	(Even) he shall send Jesus Christ, (Who? God whose Presence is 

                        there) which was…who was appointed to you.

	But hold it, not yet.  

		(21) 	(For) the heaven must (retain Him) until the times of
restitution

                        of all things, which God hath spoken by the
mouth of all his 

                        holy prophets since the world began.

47.	He can’t come back to this earth, until restoration.  That which
is spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets, since the world began.
 Now listen, based on;

		(22)	For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord

                        your God raise up unto you of your brethren,
like unto me; him 

                        (you will) hear in all things (whatever) he
shall say unto you.

	Now, He’s talking about this hour.  So, God’s got to raise up a
prophet like Moses.  Pillar of Fire.  Vindication with signs.  Go on
down, put your hand in your bosom, take him by the left hand, watch what
happens.  Begin telling them about what’s going to be in the future,
read their hearts.  Now come on.  Bring the Word.  Bring Me into full
view.  Three pulls.  Like unto Moses.  Now, here’s where it takes
time.  The unveiling.  

48. Okay, [The Unveiling of God 64-06-14]

	

[151] 	He said, "If they want to see what the Word is…" Said, "Now,
Moses, I appeared 				to you yonder in that burning bush. I'm going to
come down and set that mountain 			afire. They'll see that you've told
the truth. I'll appear here in the same burning 				way. I'll appear
here and prove to the people, I'll vindicate your ministry." That's 			
what He told Moses here, so many words.

[152] 	Notice, He said, "Now I'm going —I'm going to glorify you
before the people.

	

	"I'm going to let the people know what My opinion is of you. That I've
chosen you to stand there and be My mouthpiece, My demonstrator and
everything is going to come through you."

	

	And the people are going to say “Ha.” (Fap!) Says old Miriam, “Oh
yeah, I diapered that little coot. I was the one that told Mama how to
do it.  I had the revelation first.”  

	Yeah, she did. Oh, when God used Moses to go through the Red Sea,
you’d have thought God used her.  She picked up her skirts and she
danced the fandango, and she shouted and she hollered.  She had a
bally-hoop-tee-do.  Oh, she cut a fine figure, she was sure taken away
from the prophet.  All she could do, and  Moses stood back and said, 
“Well, that’s fine.” Until God smote her with prophecy…I’m
mean leprosy, or for her prophecy. 

 

 	Then there came out two guys, Korah, Dathan, and Abiram and the rest
of those guys.  And they said “Hey Moses, you’re just too big for
your britches. When did you think God had to use you, and you alone? Why
he said, “I Would to God, the Spirit of God could everybody
prophecy.”  He said, “I didn’t ask for this job. I wish God would
use everybody.” So, God said, “I’ll take care of that.” And He
killed them. That is, those that rose up. (See?)  

49.	All right, He glorified him.  The word ‘glorify’ means to honor,
to give credence, or some form of expression, to the opinion that God
had.  If you think God doesn’t have big opinions of prophets
brother/sister, you better change your mind.  Even a five-fold ministry,
although I don’t say too much about that.

[152]	Now, they’ll see I told you the truth.  I’ll appear here, and
prove your ministry, 				vindicate it.  Now, you told them I met you out
there in a burning bush.  I’m 				going to come down, same fire, and
I’m going to let the people see that You 				never lied about it. 
Scientifically prove it.  That refers to his own ministry. 				(See?) 
I’m coming down right now and let them know.  Coming down, into the 		
	church.  

[153]	And when He begin to thunder.  When Jehovah started thundering,
the people 				said, “No, no, no don’t let Jehovah speak, we’ll
die.” 

 

[154]	So, he had to be veiled.  So, God veiled Himself in Moses and gave
Moses 					the Word.  And Moses came down and spoke the Word of the
Lord, in a 					veil over his face. That right?  Jehovah veiled in the
form of a prophet. 					Because it would have…absolutely.  

	Now, that’s exactly what Hebrews said, “God was in the prophet.” 
We get squeamish, because “Hallelujah, we love Jesus and God was in
Jesus, and we ain’t going to let God to get in anybody but Jesus, oh,
except us. ”  

50.  You see, I hate hypocrisy, in me or in you.  Stink is stink. 
Unless you got a warped nose.  When people can stand vomit, all tables
full of it, and love it.  They can stand anything. I can’t stand the
smell of vomit.  The taste or anything else.  You ever had it in your
throat?  Oh, merciful God.  Dogs and hogs, but not sheep.  God Jehovah,
veiled in a form of a prophet because it would have absolutely…I guess
you’d say he’d a been killed otherwise. 

	And God said He wouldn’t speak to them anymore, like He did.  He
would only speak to them by a prophet.  Then Jesus must have been a
prophet.  There’s the only way you’d ever speak from then on. 
That’s the only way He’s ever spoken.  That right?  Never any other
way.  He don't lie.  Well, if we say so.  (Huh?)  Creeds and dogmas make
God a liar. 

[155] 	Notice, only Moses had the Word. Now, there wasn't a group came
down, 					there wasn't just the Pharisees, or the Sadducees, a certain
sect or a clan. 					It was Moses! He got one man. He can't get two or
three different minds.                                    		It takes one
man. (Go not where two or three in a room see?) ...No one else 				had
It. Joshua was a general; Joshua was a commander in the army; 				
Joshua was a believer, a Christian. Moses was a prophet! The Word can't 
				come to Joshua; It's got to come to Moses. He was the major prophet
of 					the hour. Notice, the Word never did come to Joshua till Moses
was gone. 					(See?) No, sir. God deals with one at a time. God is one.
See? Now, only 					Moses had the Word, not a group. 

    

[156] 	Look, God warned any persons not to try to follow Moses into that
veil; 					impersonators. See? Woman, man, priest, whoever it was, how
godly, how 				much honor,  whoever they were, He warned, "Let Moses
come alone! 					And if any man, even an animal, touches it, must be
killed right there." 					Never break before that veil. That veil
belongs to one person. The Message 				is one. See? In the temple, one
man went in once a year, anointed and fixed 				to go in; not to bring
out the Word, but to offer blood. 

51.	Then you see, how could Jesus, as High Priest, ever bring the Word? 
 He’s there with the Blood.  The High Priest couldn’t do it.  He
went with Blood. You see brother/sister, the Bible lines up.  The Bible
is perfect, it’s man’s creeds and dogmas that are ruining it. Now: 

[156]	…to walk in there before it, only one, any other man died.  

[157]	They spiritually die now. This is a Spiritual veil.  See? That was
a natural 					veil.  This is a spiritual veil. (See?) They keep walking
on behind there.  You 				can’t tell them.  "Oh, I know, I know that,
but go right on ahead, it’s all right, 				speaks death.  You remember
the last plague in Egypt was death, before the 				exodus.  The last
plague on earth, is spiritual death, before the exodus.  Then 			
they’ll be cremated and turned back to dust, the righteous walk on
their ashes.  				The last thing is spiritual death, rejecting the Word.

[158] 	Now notice, God warned any persons not to try to follow Moses
into the veil 				of Fire. Moses was to be veiled, he had to come out of
there. Moses went in				as Moses, went into the Pillar of Fire…for he
went into that …out of his 					traditions, the traditions of the
elders. He saw the Pillar of Fire, but now 					he goes into the Pillar
of Fire. See? And he come forth, veiled. God's Word 				in a man,
veiled! Here he come walking out, oh, my, I can see it. Warned 				
nobody else to try it, nobody can impersonate That. You better not. See?
					Even a priest or a holy man, whoever it was, cardinal, bishop,
anything else, 				else, trying to go in that veil, died. God warned
them. We'll 	have no                                  			impersonations.

 

[159] 	His Word is revealed to one. It's always been, a prophet come
with the Word 				of the Lord, each age, every time, down through
Scripture. The Word comes 				to one. In every age, the same, even in
the church ages, from the very first... 				Others have their places,
that's right, but stay away from that Pillar of Fire. 				See? What a
lesson we learn here!

52.	 Then you got people boasting everywhere there's a Pillar of Fire
over them. Phony pictures in this Message, they ought to know better.
The prophet says, “Every time God sends a sign, He brings a message,
or you wouldn't know what it's all about.”   Where’s their message? 
(See?)  You can see why I hit hard all these years.  I stay with the
Word of God, there’s no other way to turn.  

[160 ]	You remember what Dathan and them said out there? They said,
"Now, Moses, 				wait here just a minute! You take too much upon
yourself, …there's other men 				here that God called."

    

[161] 	That is true. They, each one, were following fine as long as they
went along, 				but when one tried to step up and take God's position
that He give Moses, 					which was predestinated and ordained to that
job, tried to take it, fire come 				down and opened up the earth and
swallowed them right up. Be careful. 					See? Just be a good, God's
godly Christian, believing the Word. Stay away 				from that Pillar.
What a lesson.

[162] 	God had first appeared to Moses in a burning bush, God was veiled
in the 					Pillar of Fire. Now listen real close now for a minute. God,
first come to 					Moses, He was veiled. God was in the Pillar of Fire,
hid back in a bush, see; 				like behind the skins, see, back by the
mercy seat at the altar. He is veiled. 					He is always veiled. And
when He categorically came to Moses, He was 					in a Pillar of Fire,
veiled in the Pillar of Fire. But here, before the people, 					God
vindicated him by the same Pillar of Fire.  

[163] 	Now watch. Are you reading? …  

     

53.	 Let your minds get out of the way.  "He that’s got an ear, let
him hear." 

[164] 	When God appeared to Moses, it was in a Pillar of Fire, when He
called 					him to his ministry. And Moses come and told the people
about it. They 					couldn't believe it, yet he did  miracles and
things. But, this time, He 					visibly, scientifically appeared and
vindicated Moses' ministry to be the 					same thing that God spoke to
him, 'cause He appeared in the form of the 					Pillar of Fire and set
the mountain on fire. And He came to Moses in a bush, 				spoke to him. 


 

	Now, Bro. Branham, you know, just says, “Listen, (he said) “What a
camera took in my ministry, because it had to be a camera to do it.  No
mountain is on fire, it’s the same thing happened back there,
vindication.”  

	You see? Now: 

[165]	 God's first appearing, to Moses, in the burning bush, veil.
Before the people, 				God veiled again and vindicated Moses, by the
veil, by veiling Himself with 				the same Fire, same Pillar of Fire
came down. From them, so they could 					only hear God's Word. Do you
get it? Just the Word, they heard His Voice. 				For, Moses was, to
them, the living Word. Moses! See, God had so proven 					that Word by
Moses! See, Moses said… God said to Moses, (rather) "Go					 down
there. And I'll be with you. And there's nothing going to stand before 	
		you. I AM THAT I AM."

 

54.  Now, the same thing was said to Bro. Branham, "Nothing is going to
stand before you."  

[167] 	"Oh, we have all kind of things like going on." Pharaoh said,
"Why!" Pastor 				Pharaoh said, "Well, you got a cheap magician trick.
We've got magicians 				that can do that from their magicians." And they
come over there and done 				the same thing.

[168 ] 	Moses knowed…nothing bothered him. How many impersonators they
had, 				didn't make a bit of difference. Moses just stood still. 

	You can’t get this bunch to stand still though.  Well one woman in
one church, wrote my wife notes about why she said this poor fellow says
he hasn’t got any money…one of the false anointed…she said, “Do
you think God will send him money?”  I’d just as soon send…what is
it? ...Bishop Johnson mine.  Lady wrote in one time, she said
Johnson’s, I’ve been sending my tithe to the Pentecostal church.  

	She said, “Should I do that, or should I send it to you?”  

	He said, “No, bless God, send it to me, they wouldn’t know what to
do with it.”  What kind of hogwash is this…people believe this
Message, and get stirred up by some kind of nonsense.  Yeah, I’m going
to tell you something.  They claim they came out of Pentecost.  I’ll
buy that, but Pentecost never came out of them.  When are they going to
stop being fooled?  The prophet of God said, “You start giving money
anywhere, you’re going to answer to God for it.”  I don’t care who
you are. 

55.	[Now:]    

[169] 	Remember, He said Jambres and Jannes will return in the last
days, see, 					impersonations. "And they would deceive the very Elect
if possible," 					Matthew 24:24. See? Just exactly the same things, do
the same kind of 					miracles and everything. Watch that Word! Watch
that Word! A man says 					he does miracles and still wants to believe
there's three Gods, as always, 					kind of; you get away from that. We
know that's wrong, see, no such thing. 				See? The Word, every Word,
every Word that proceeds out of the mouth 					of God! Genesis, one
Word! Over here, said, "Don't take or add one word." 				See,  Can't do
it. It's got to be that same Word. See?  

[170] 	Notice, the people saw something that had happened. Moses had
been 					veiled as he was a prophet, and God had vindicated His Word
now, went 					down there. And he had seen signs and wonders. And then,
after this people 				got separated unto themselves, a church. See,
church means "called out." 					After they were called out of the world
and became a people, then God let 					Himself be known that He was that
Pillar of Fire. He proved Moses' message. 				See? He was the Pillar of
Fire. (That's when they got to the mountain) They 				might have took
the picture of It, I guess, if they'd have had camera, because 				it
was all on Fire. But they proved that, God proved that the Message was 	
			right. The Message was at hand, everything was, they was going to be 
				exposed to them. Veiled His prophet to this exodus people.

    

56.	[Now;]

[171] 	The people, think, seen something had happened to him. He was now
different 				from the rest of the Israelites. He was different, his
message was different, 					he was different from the priests, he was
different from anything. See, he was 				a different person. The people
saw something had happened. God had veiled 				Himself in a prophet, to
speak His Words to them. That's what He's done. 					Moses was that
living Word to the people, veiled by the Pillar of Fire, 					speaking
what was to be veiled later behind badger skins.  

 

[172]	The Word had to come from Moses, first. See? Moses had the Word.
They 					were written by God, nobody could interpret Them, Moses had to
interpret 				Them, first. That's the reason he veiled his face… Do
you see It?  (See?)

           Here It is. We could pick It, pack It up, and everything else
there, but It's 					got to be revealed. (In other words, anybody can
pick up the Bible, but who 				can reveal It?)  In order to reveal,
Moses had to become God to the people. 				You say, "That's nonsense.  

[173]	Why He even told Moses himself, you’ll be God to Aaron, and
Aaron will 					be your prophet. He had to veil himself….  

[174] 	Said, "Father, I thank You, You've hid It from the wise and
prudent, and 					revealed It to babes, to them that wants to learn." 

    

57.	Now, the thing is only a baby will take what it’s told on the
surface.  Everybody else, wants some big explanation, that involves them
and takes them out of the ball park. So, when Bro. Branham…when Jesus
came on the scene, those people that said, “Hey, there’s something
here.”  What is it?  He told them.  

He said, “Hey, that’s great.” I believe that.  They didn’t take
it running down the road.  And try to figure it.  They just believed it.
 When he said, “Why, I came from God, and I go back to God.”   

	Well, they said, “You talk plainly, now we understand what it’s all
about.” This explains the whole thing.  You came from God, and you go
back to God.  Nothing else would explain it down here on earth.  And
everybody else said, “Come on now, the devil can do that too.  What
are you talking about?” (See?) The simplicity.  

	Said, “Now I won’t speak to them anymore like this, I’ll give
them a prophet.” That's the way He always does it. 

[176] 	  But the prophet has to have the Word. If he's veiled with
tradition, God 					never sent him. If he's veiled with the Word, God
will vindicate It. God 					interprets His Own Word. Moses spoke to
Them; then God interpreted 					Them.  (But Moses spoke to them the
words, and God interpreted the 					words.)  

[177]	Moses said, “The Lord said so.” And the Lord did just what he
said. That 					made it right.  

[178]	Now He said, “Now Moses, do you understand the people understand
now.”				(See?) I showed you. I’ve vindicated you.”  God, veiled
Himself in this prophet,				to speak His Word to the people. (Keep
remembering this one thing; God 					was in the prophets.  The Bible
says so.) Moses was the living God to them, 				certainly. 

 	If He was in the prophets, and Jesus became the living God on the
grounds that God was in him, then to whom the Word came, they are God's.
 And it was God to the people.  Course, when it was over, He was just
same Moses again.   God had veiled Himself in this prophet, to speak His
Word to the people.  Moses, was the living God to them. 

		Living Word of God made manifest. That’s the reason His face was
veiled.  

58.	Now:

 [180]	How about people who say they are veiled in the Presence of God,
and 					preached on some church tradition?  Oh, mercy, goodness! Which
adds 					to and takes from, and everything else, like injecting their
own subjects, 					and their own thoughts, not the Word of God. (See?) 
What kind of a veil?  				That's got to be the ecclesiastical veil.  God
tore that veil wide open! (See?)  

	The veil of creeds and dogmas has been rent, we’re in a Spiritual
Resurrection. And the Bride should be enjoying at this point, a certain
phase at least of a spiritual revival.  

[181]	They say there’s no such thing as prophets.  ...no such things
in these last 					days of apostles and prophets.  No such thing as
divine healing, or of seers 				and things like that. They are veiled
from It.  And they veiled It from the people,				but God walked right
out with His Holy Spirit of Fire, and rent that thing from 				top to
bottom. God has rent the veil.  

[182]	Moses was the veil, the living Word of God veiled behind human
flesh.  The 				Pillar of Fire was in Moses of course, speaking of what
was, it was to be 					veiled later behind skins…you know the ark, and
then also in Christ. 

 

 [183]	Now, that’s the Word.  The Word was brought forward, then It
was written up, 				then It was put behind, and still veiled.  For God
was always in that Word.  				He’s the Word always.  He was in that
Word, that’s the reason that Word 					had to be veiled.  

[184]	Oh,  brother, sister, are you catching It?  Look! Don’t you see?
 It’s been 					veiled through these ages, according to what God said,
and it would be 					opened in the last days, those Seven Seals would be
broke...  

59.	 Now, if you break a Seal, you’re unveiling something.  (See?)
Now, what are you unveiling? The Word.  

		...and the full Thing would come into view of the people, what took
place all				along.  The hour of the Seventh angels’ Message, all the
mysteries of God 					should be made known in that Elijah. In that last
hour, how Christ had been 				put out of the church, the Son of God; how
He’s revealed the Son of man 					again.  And how the Church is to be
put in order...  

	That’s right. we've been preaching on that.  Not just putting tongues
back there, and a ministry back in the back shed.  Forget that. 
That’s just to keep the devil out.  Out of one phase, that’s all. 
So, you’re not carried away.  

		Now, how the church put in order, and everything for the last day, no
creed, 				no denomination, absolutely living Word in the individual. 
"I’ll take one and 				leave one.  I’ll take  this and leave that.
See? 

	In the hour of the Seals is separation. Two in the field working, one
taken.  Two grinding, one taken, one left.  That’s in the other place
where It says, one in the bed taken, and one in the field taken,
that’s Rapture. This, is not Rapture.  This is separating time.  

 60.  See?

[185]	 Notice, God veiled in human flesh.  Moses was that Word, speaking
later 					behind badger skins.  So Christ is our Moses, Christ is our
Moses.  He was 				God veiled in human flesh.  Veiled in humanity, in
flesh.  That’s right.  					He’s the same, yesterday, today, and
forever. He’s still Christ, the promised 				Word for this age, 
veiled in human flesh. God is the Word. 

  

[186]	The Anointing is a person. The Word Christ means ‘an anointed
one’. See, 				'the Anointed One'. Then Moses was Christ in his day.
He was the Anointed 				One. Jeremiah was Christ in his day, with a
portion of Word for that day.  

[187]	And when Jesus came by, he came as Redeemer, Anointed One. That
was 					both Moses, and all that was in Moses, all that was in the
Word, all that 					was in the Godhead bodily...That’s the reason the
whole temple veil was 					rent, and the mercy seat came in view. He was
the Anointed One.  

[188]	Notice, now, the veil in human flesh, the promised Word of this
age, also 					must be veiled.  Notice! Sin-loving church members, and
sinners cannot 					see It, because of the human veil.  

[189]	That’s the reason they couldn’t see Him. "Why, He’s a man,
where did He 					come from?  What’s His fellowship card?  What church
does He belong 					to?"  This and that, see?

61.	Just quote the last little verse here. 

[192]	But, they don’t see It yet today. God in this last day has
ripped the old 					traditions away, brought the Word for this age into
plain view, and they 					still don’t see It.  They don’t know It.
It’s so simple.  See? Just so simple! 					It’s so far away from the
things of the world.  

	Now, do you see what we’re seeing here?  A prophet like unto Moses,
raised up at this hour.  The prophet with the Pillar of Fire.  The
prophet indicated and vindicated.  God Almighty.  Doing what was not a
strange act, but was proper, and right according to how God cannot
change, and how He cannot stop.  Or, He cannot change the things which
he does.  

  Now listen, It says here: and it’ll come to pass that every soul
that will not hear that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed among the
people." [Acts 3:23]  I’m going to tell you something brother/sister. 
That did not happen when Jesus was here in the flesh.  No way. It’s
only under Malachi 4: that He destroys utterly, leaving neither root nor
branch. But  at the same time, that He Appears, in that hour in order to
destroy by His Presence. His Presence arises with healing in His wings,
upon those who are not going to be destroyed.  There, you’ve got it. 
Perfect, absolute picture of this very hour, showing you what God is
doing in the mechanics.  

62.  All right.  We get ready to think hard now.  We, ask ourselves this
question.  Exactly how much was Jesus like Moses?  Now, we know the
answer.  We can see it right here. (See?) It is Jesus now, in the form
of the Holy Spirit, veiled in a Pillar of Fire, who deals with that
prophet, who brings us that Word of restoration.  Because It says Elijah
must restore.  Now, you must have seen what I’m thinking.  And know
what I was thinking.  Jesus was that prophet, because He was the Word. 
He prophesied for three and a half years, and died for sins.  Yes, He
certainly was the prophet, because the Holy Spirit in the prophet, …
or rather, the Holy Spirit is the prophet, and that Holy Spirit became
flesh.  But now, watch Acts 3: 22.

		(22)	… the Lord …God (will) raise up (a prophet), like unto me;

                        (said Moses) him you will hear in all things…

 	Now listen, all things were not given until Revelation 10:1-7. Because
the Seals were sealed.  So, what are you going to do?  You’ve got to
put it here.  The prophet like, unto Moses. It was a prophet raised up
to lead them into rest.  For Moses was ordained to lead them into rest. 
He flunked the test.  Joshua tried to lead them in, and he couldn’t do
it.  So, there’s got to be one to do it.  There’s only One who can
do it, and that’s Jesus.  Well, He can’t operate in His flesh at
this time, so, a prophet like Moses has got to come.  

63.  Now watch what It says here: They’ll be destroyed.  Yeah, now
listen…all the prophets from Samuel.  Don’t tell me Samuel was a
Word prophet, because he wasn’t.  Don’t tell me Elijah was a Word
prophet, because He wasn’t.  They were discerning prophets, to whom
the Word of the Lord came: politically, socially, and amended those
conditions, that had been set forth long ago by Moses, and violated. 
And they came to restore, and they proved they could restore, by the
evidence of their discernment.  Moses was…actually Moses did not
discern, it was Samuel. So therefore, Elijah goes back to Samuel.  It
was in Samuel’s day that God appeared by the Word.  For Samuel refused
to show Eli the vision.  So therefore, you don’t see with your eyes,
you see with your ears. (See?)  Now It says, "for the Word for the Lord
appeared again to Samuel in Shiloh, for the Lord revealed Himself to
Samuel in Shiloh by the Word of the Lord." [1 Sam 3:21]  You’ve got
the same thing right now, because Samuel’s there.  

 64.  Moses the historian, the vindicated leader, Samuel, Elijah. Elijah
striking out at the social and the political, and the ills within the
churches. (See?) Samuel discerning, Jesus there, with the miracle
ministry of compassion and love. All four spirits, at one time
manifested. Because, you’re at the end-time.  See, this is the key. 
"A prophet like unto me, shall he raise up."  Everybody wants to go back
two thousand years, He’s talking about now.  For he says, “Foretold
of these days.” [Acts 3:24] What days was He talking about?  When
Jesus lived and died, and rose.  And when He’s coming again.  Then He
says in [Acts 3:]26, “Unto you first God, having raised up his Son
Jesus Christ.”  And what’s He made Him?  Both Lord and Christ. Sent
Him to bless you.  Sent Him to bless you?  

	He came back as the Holy Ghost.  Now, "Turned away from your
iniquities."  Now, unto you first, God did this, proving the
Resurrection.  Proving who He was. If He did it first, He’s got to do
it the second time at least, or, it wouldn’t say ‘first’.  So,
Bro. Branham correctly said, He never did appear to the Gentiles, and
manifest Himself, but He does now.  This gospel of the kingdom has
already reached most of the earth.  It’s gone around… William
Branham himself, went almost seven times.  This gospel must be preached,
and It is preached, then, cometh the end.  We’re at the end-time.  Put
the Bible where iIbelongs.  

65.	  Okay.  Verse 23.  Of course, it’s Malachi 4:1 destruction.  A
prophet is involved in utter destruction.  

	In both Acts 3: and Malachi 4: show…go to Luke 1:15. (Sorry to take a
long time. I’m still not sorry.)  This is what God gave me, I’m
going to give it to you. [omit comments] Talking of John the Baptist.
All right listen, watch what It says here about John the Baptist, this
Elijah.

		(15)	(He'll) be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall (not drink)

                        … strong drink; (and so on)… 

		(16)	And many…shall he turn to the Lord their God.

		(17)	And he shall go before (the Lord God) in the spirit and power of
Elias, 					to turn the hearts of the fathers to children, and the
disobedient to 						the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people …
for the Lord.

66.	Okay.  Now, let’s look at Matthew 3: (I think it is, what I want.)
Here’s what else is said, what's said now.  That’s said about John,
this is said about Jesus.  

		(12)	Whose fan is in his hand, and (he'll) thoroughly purge his floor,

                        and gather his wheat into the garner; (and
he'll) burn up the chaff

                        with unquenchable fire.

	Tell me, did that happen?  No way.  

67.	Okay. Luke 17: 20

		(20)	(They) demanded …, when (is) the kingdom … (going to)

                        come, he … said, (It won’t do you any good,
you won’t know

			when it comes anyway. It'll be there though.)

		(21)	And (they’ll) say, (Look) here! or, (look) there!... (Forget
it, it’s 

                        under their noses)

	Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will
desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and not see it.”  And
at that time they'll say, “See here, see there.”  Forget it.  It’s
under your nose.  And if you can’t see what’s under your nose,
forget it.  You’re wasting your time.  Then He tells you what It is. 
It’s Life that appears.  And you know that light is a manifested,
revealed Word from God, that you’ve got to bring everything to, to see
where you stand.  Then, It says, first He must suffer many things,
before this takes place.  Then It tells you the hours under which it
will take place; as in the days of Noah.  That’s the time the world is
going to burn, it’s going to be all over.  (See?) You can see here
brother/sister, what I was telling you in Acts 3: is absolutely perfect
with the prophets’ teaching with the whole Word of God.  

68.	A prophet had to be raised up, with a Pillar of Fire.  So, Jesus is
today.  And not as in the flesh a prophet.  Exactly like unto Moses. 
Because He’s in the Pillar of Fire, and Elijah is there to
communicate, because God swore, and said, “I’ll never do it any
other way.”  It’s got to be a man, that’s why it was that he could
fulfill that same thing without a Pillar of Fire, in a human body, and
absolutely be one with the Word.  Now, that’s the mechanics. (Not bad
for two hours.)  Mechanics is simply a Word study, authenticating to
certain ones, of a certain mental disposition, that the Logos has
visited, to bring all the Bride of all Ages, into the Wedding Supper. 

 

	I repeat.  To you people who are part of this.  Mechanics is simply a
word study, authenticating to certain ones, like you, of a certain
mental disposition, like you, that the Logos has visited, to bring all
the Bride of all Ages, into the Wedding Supper, and the Millennium. 
That’s right.  That means, 1 Thessalonians 4:13 and what is read
subsequently, to be the descent of the Logos, a real co-mingling, of
living and Logos, identified amongst them.  Then a Resurrection and a
further co-mingling, then a Rapture, with even a further co-mingling. 
And another co-mingling with the 144,000, then all coming together for
the Millennium.  And we believe our teaching is true from vindication.
That Bro. Branham did nothing but tell us what I’m telling you this
morning, and preached and re-preached it.  He is here. And here is why
He is here.  

69.	 All right, what are the dynamics?  Well, I guess I should be nice.
Now, if you’re willing to sit here, I’ll try to just read it,
without going into too much depth.  But look, if you don’t understand
mechanics from dynamics, you are still in an improbable position.  Why
I’m not interested in improbable positions, not at this hour, any
longer. (See?)  

	Now, what are dynamics?  The dynamics is God Himself, quickening the
Word of promise to the living Bride, so that all that He has left
unfulfilled, is to be fulfilled in her, and then He quickens the dead
bodies, then the living, …that’s the ones that are living in the
First Resurrection…and brings us all together.  

	Now, we have already seen those dynamics in action.  Which dynamics
having started in us, who are living, will end in the Resurrection, in
the full manifestation of the sons of God.  As It says in 1 John 3: [2]
“Beloved now are we  the sons of God.”  And it has never yet come
into its true reality, the literal absolute, positive, definitive,
manifestation of sons.  But it’s going to when He appears.  And He
manifests exactly who He is. In other words, He is here to change us. 
Now, let us just stop a moment.  When we started to describe mechanics,
we took instant and serious note, that the doctrine was horribly
distorted, as to what we believe is the true vindication of what is
correct.  

70.	 Now, instantly we make notice of Scripture in 1 Corinthians 15:23
and James 5:7-8 which was on the Resurrection, constitute a period of
sorts.  How long we don’t know.  And we might also notice that in Luke
17: 22-30 which we have read, is a period of time.  So therefore, what
we are saying is this: when you deal with Him coming here to perform a
Resurrection, you cannot bypass the fact that He is here to change the
living, which are normally condemned to death, because we’ve sinned. 
“It is appointed unto men once to die, and after that the judgment.”
 [Heb 9:27]   That’s ‘Thus Saith The Lord.’  How are you going to
get rid of It?  If God doesn’t do something Himself to lift the
penalty, my brother, my sister, every single one of us is going to die. 
No way out.  

	Now, He’s got to be here in a preventive measure.  And the preventive
measure is to swallow up death.  Like the white corpuscle attacks the
germ.  Christ our knight of shining armor, comes down to envelop the
germ called death.  Because there is nobody can do it. Now remember,
He’s sovereign.  So, He’s going to come down and do it.  

71.	 All right.  The meat of the Word to me, the real bastion of power,
showing this dynamism, is already read to you.  And I’ve been
preaching on it in Ephesians 1:15-23, with which you are so familiar. 
And I read a part this morning, I’ll bypass it.  

	All right.  Almost to date, you have heard, …or alright, to date, you
have heard almost thirty messages…actually over thirty messages, on
this subject.  That constitutes many hours of teaching.  Now, let us be
sure we are seed; that Acts 2:4 the visitation of the Holy Spirit, and
Matthew 28:20,  “Lo, I am with you always.”

72.	 In 1 Corinthians 12:13 which is Acts 2:4.  "By one spirit are we
all baptized into one body."  Be sure we are seeing not that.  No way. 
But an entirely different concept, and work of that same Spirit.  

	Now, that Spirit that comes into the Church, is the Logos.  According
to John 1:[1],  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.”  No man has seen God at any time, the only
begotten of the Father.  And the only begotten in the bosom of the
Father, had exegesis(ed) Him.  Now, it is relegated to a special
definite ministry of the Holy Ghost, to bring a revelation from God.  

73.	Therefore, Paul in 1 Corinthians 2: 11-12, and this is only a couple
of verses, so I’ll read It,                says this to us,

		(11)	For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man 

                        which is in him? even so the things of God
knoweth no man, but

                        the Spirit of God.

	Now, Paul is speaking in the editorial ‘we’.  Or embracing other
prophets, but not the church.  No way.  Because it’s the same church
he said, “Did the Word of God come unto you? Or did It come out of
you?”  He challenged them.  Now listen, 

		(11)	… save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of
God 					knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 

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

74.	 In other words, he is saying this:  I taught you that Word that
came to me, you did not have that Word on your own.  There is no way
you’re going to get lit.  Now, what did It?  It was the Logos.  "I am
Jesus, whom you persecute."  Not the body, but he saw the Logos.  Which
was Jesus, as we want to recognize Him now, as the One that was on the
earth, Almighty God, indwelling human flesh.   He also says He got the
revelation from the Logos.  In Galatians 1:11-12; in Acts 26:13 he
identified the Logos to Agrippa.  In 1 Corinthians 11:1-2, and in verse
23 as I declared and showed you.  He absolutely admits he got the Word
of God, from God.  In 1 Corinthians 14:36-37,  he throws out a
challenge.  In Galatians 1:6-9 he said, “If anybody, even myself, or
an angel of God, dares to change one word, he’s gone.” In
Deuteronomy 18:15-19, It tells you how the Word, comes to a vindicated
prophet. And in Hebrews 12: 22-29, It tells you that God is going to
speak again.  

75.	 All right.  So therefore, when we read in Ephesians 1: we
understand the Spirit literally comes into the midst of the Church.  And
being Logos, there has to be a prophet there.  Now, what prophet is in
the Bible at the end-time?  There’s only one, that’s Elijah.  It
doesn’t mean Elijah himself is coming back incarnated, or
re-incarnated.  It simply means a prophet that is of the stature and the
definitive earmarks of Elijah's there.  Now, notice certain depths of
information given us as to who this person is.  He is as we said, the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  All right, that explains Luke
1: 31-32, you see the Holy Ghost came upon her, and she bore the Son.  

	 And then in Acts 2:34-36 It explains, that this One that was killed,
was raised up and made both Lord and Christ.  All right, now notice:
that He as a human being, the prepared body of God, different from ours,
with his own human life, that he had, given to him at that time.  Not
speaking now of the Holy Ghost, Himself where God incarnated Himself. 
That One, because of the fact that His Name was Jesus, and He fulfilled
everything that devolved upon that name, so that He was Jesus.  God then
gave that Name back to him in a new way.  Where very knee should bow,
and, there is no power in heaven above Him.  Co-equal, with Almighty
God,  and now at this point sitting on the Throne as a literal,
physical, Melchezidec, King and High Priest.  With God paying that to
Him, every cent that God owes Him, by bringing everything under
subjection under Him.  

76.  All right.  It is that same Spirit of Matthew, that is defined as
the Father of Jesus.  Because that’s what It says.  But there is
another definition by name, and remember, God is known by His Name such
as Jehovah.  Then, a whole series; Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Tsidkenu,
Jehovah Nisi and so on, that reveals Him.  His original name was
El-Elah, which means ‘a strong one bound by an oath’.  But now that
we know who He is, God Elohim, here as Logos, which means I am going to
reveal Myself by being Present, and manifesting that I am there. 
That’s exactly what it comes out to.  I’ve got more than that on it,
but I’ll just leave it sit there.  

	He gives Himself this appellation Father of glory.  Now, Father is the
source or progenitor, or begetter of glory.  Now, try to get everything
I’m saying.  That is a pretty good definition of Father.  But what if
we take a deeper view yet, and think of a Father not only as the
begetter or sire.  But actually, as the head of the family.  The mentor,
the arbitrator, the authority, the head, the definer, so that all
definition, and assessment comes from Him.  Now, you see we’re getting
there.  We’re getting there.  Because you see, I’m not talking now
in terms of a man that marries a woman and has children by her.  And
sets himself up as a sort of a something.  This, is the real One.  And
you’re dealing now with the Logos.  In the beginning was the
unexpressed. Then, that which was unexpressed must become expressed, and
He does not become expressed, any other way than by being a part of the
expression.  So, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Him.
 

77.  So, when I use this terminology, and I’m going beyond what I
would go ordinarily.  That He is not just a sire, which is a begetter. 
But the word ‘begetter’ goes far beyond.  He’s the Mentor, the
Arbitrator, the Authority, the Head, the Definer, so that all definition
and assessment comes from Him.  This is even better, or the best. 
Because when you talk of glory, you speak of a brightness, that is the
greatest, or most awe inspiring, or patently the best and most admired,
in any category, or all categories.  Glory is what leads you awed, and
inspired.  And God is the Author of it.  Now, I want to give you the
actual root words, which I’ve done before, concerning glory.  Glory is
doxa, you get the word ‘doxology’ from it.  Means to worship, and
glorify. 

	 Primarily or basically…or foundationally…now listen, let’s get
this…signifies an opinion or estimate, and hence, the honor resulting
from a good opinion.   Now I know that leaves you sort of confused, but
it’s not as bad as it sounds.  And I’ll talk about it more. 

 	 Listen again, this is the Greek.  Primarily or basically, or
foundationally, signifies an opinion, or estimate, and hence, the honor
resulting from a good opinion.  Glory then is honor.  What comes from
the perceptive soul, where all knowledge is analyzed, compared, and
synthesized, so you as an omniscient person, in one or all fields, can
say, “That’s it, the highest.”  Now, that’s what glory
signifies.  

78.	  Now, let’s keep talking.  I’m going to keep reading.  Glory
then, is honor.  But it is not meaningless honor, or an unworthy honor,
forced by its ignoble forces, on somebody.  It is that which comes as
the ultimate evaluation, when all things have been considered, and
compared. It is a supreme judgement.  And therefore, a worthy honor. 
For it is a true, and deserved honor.  

	 Now please note, what I am emphasizing.  I’m going far beyond the
honor.  For honor and devotion can be spurious.   And if you watch the
Emmy Awards, which God forbid, my stomach being too weak, it’s all
fixed.  I’m sure that Gene and Joe won’t quite let down their hair,
but they work at a very big place, and I’m sure they know what I’m
talking about.  Rich, works in a big place, he knows what I’m talking
about.  Too much phoniness.  The guy many times, with the biggest mouth,
and the biggest push or the biggest pull, he’s put way up there, and
he ain’t worth a plug nickel.  What’s they call it?  Peter Syndrome,
they lead him up so far, and they can’t go any farther, but they still
have got to make him look good.  We’re not talking about that. 
We’re talking about real things right here.  I’m telling you
brother/sister, let me get this flat.  When you, …you are coming to a
period right now in your life, where you have never been before, you are
being trained now, for that day, when you see Him in the physical flesh.
 

	And you will say, “Glory and honor to the King.”  And it will never
be, what you thought it was.  Because you’ll really mean it, because
you really know.  I’ve stood up here and told you never have I known
the compassion and the love of Almighty God.  

79.	 I’m going to read you something here, ['The Called Out' 58-01-09]
 

[24] 	The Son of man has already come from glory and is revealing
Himself for 					the past few years to His Church in mercy, showing them
His great Presence, 				doing the same things that He did when He was
here on earth, revealing 					Himself like He did to Abraham. Before the
destruction, He has come 					now in mercy, revealing Himself to the
Church. 			 

	 I say a hundred percent, I can testify by personal experience, that is
true. When I pray to God and thank Him, I thank Him as I’ve never
thanked Him before.  But it’s not half as good as it’s going to be. 
You see, because I’ve been comparing, I’ve been analyzing, I’ve
been looking, I’ve been a part of It.  Do you see why I’m saying
what I’m saying, based on the Greek here?  Okay. A supreme judgment,
now please note what I’m emphasizing.  I’m going far beyond the
honor.  For honor and devotion can be spurious.  I am going right to the
root which is integrity. The pureness of integrity.  

80.	Let’s go to 1 John 1:5. 

		(5)	This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare

                        unto you, that God is light, and in him is no
darkness at all.  

	Now, look at that.  So, you see what I’m saying?  That’s glory,
based upon the truth. There is no darkness in God.  Believe It! You’re
coming to It.  We’re coming to It.  I’m coming to It.  We’ve got
to come to It.  Now,  He’s the Father of glory.  He’s the root of
everything that …has integrity.  He is the soul and the root of
integrity.  And we’ve got to see Him, in that light.  And when we do,
in our assessment, coincides with God’s Own assessment.  And that’s
what people don’t want.  That’s when you’ll start screaming the
praises that are worthy.  

81.	 Let me illustrate to you.  What is a humble person?  Well, a humble
person is Lee Vayle.  Who, when God said to him, “Don’t call that
common or unclean, which God has cleansed.” 

 	He said, “Well Lord, I’m so humble I know better than You.”  If
I’d been humble, I’d have said, “God, thank You that You should
say that.  Because You’re right Lord, and I’m wrong.”  I’m
clean, I’m not what I think I am.  I’m what You said, I am.  I’d
have been a humble person.  I wasn’t just a stupid jackass.  An
ignorant dolt.  I was a proud, … a proud, filthy character.  Let’s
get things straight this morning brother/sister.  Let’s start reading
about this One, to get this integrity right.  I’m glad you’re taking
time because you see we could have left, and break the thought of the
whole message.  Just these that are counting now as we’re getting into
them.  

	John 1:31

		(31)	And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to
Israel, 

                        therefore, am I come baptizing with water.

	See?  God drew the veil back.  When He plunged into Jordan and a Pillar
of Fire came down.  (See?)  That was God’s assessment.  God says,
“That’s My form.”  Then all the world worship Him because, God
said so. (See?)  Integrity.  [John] 2:11

		(11)	This beginning of miracles (which) Jesus (did) in Cana of
Galilee, and 

                        manifested forth his glory; …

82.	 In other words, He did something, that God had Him to do.  So that
people would realize the assessment that God had of that man.  And
people looked at Him with honor, and respect and said, “He’s got to
be that prophet.  He’s got to be somebody. I don’t know who He is. 
But God’s talking back to that man, something’s there.” The
Pharisees came by when the blind man was healed, and the deaf spoke, and
the people said, “Isn’t this the Son of David?”  

	And the Pharisees said, “Shut up, you idiot, that’s the other
fella.”  

	William Branham came on the scene, in Holloway, like I told you last
night… I'm not.. he's just deceased with,  "people can sue me all they
want."  He said it.  

	He said, “William Branham had a familiar spirit.”    

83.	Let’s go further, [John] 3:21

		(21)	…he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be
						manifest, …

	You bring everything to the Word of God to see what God says.  And if
God says, you can say, “Wonderful.”  If God says, “No.” Well,
I’ve got to stop that in a hurry.  You see?  Now, John 7:4…

		(4)	…there is no man that doeth anything in secret, (but) he himself

                        seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these
things, shew thyself

                        (unto) the world.   

	In other words, tell them the truth.  Get it across to them.  Let him
know exactly who you are, where you stand and where they stand in
relationship to you. (See?) That’s what we’re saying when John said
that in Him is light and no darkness. God is here, and He is not
fooling.  He’s veiled to the world, but He’s not veiled to you and
me, my brother, my sister.  That’s the thing to understand.  You’re
still laboring back there, as though He’s veiled to you.  He is not
veiled to you.  You’re taken up with the things of the world, and too
many things are bugging you.  And you don’t understand the simple
precept of faith.  It’s so simple, I finally agree with Bro. Branham. 


84.	I told you the other night when he said, “I didn’t know how I
was preaching so simple.” And I said, “Merciful God, if  that’s
simple I’d hate to meet something complex.”  Now this morning, I can
tell you the same thing.  It’s so simple I don’t even know how to
tell you.  It’s so simple as  saying, "Well, everything is made up of
one cell." 

	And you say, “Bro. Vayle, tell us about the one cell.”  I can’t
tell you about the one cell.  All I know is everything is made up of one
cell at a time.  Billions and billions and trillions of cells.  But I
reduced it down to one cell.  Now, of course it makes my mind boggle. 
But I can’t help it, I’m doing the best I can.  And I’ll do the
very best I can as I go along, and try to help you.

85.	 Note in [John] 17:6

		(6)	I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou (have given) 

                        me…

	He said, “I have pulled back the veil. I made it absolutely clear.”
There is no room left anymore.  William Branham came on the scene,
preaching the Name of Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ, there is one
God.  And he said, “I challenge you, bring me twenty-four of your
worse cases, I guarantee healing.” They turned it down.  So, God just
turned the tables, and did about a thousand of them.  And nobody caught
it but me, that’s because I’m elected.  I’ve got no doubt about
it.  Nobody else caught it.  So, he went down somewhere near Texas, and
he said, “Bring me your worst case. I guarantee healing.”  And so
they brought the worst case, and the worst case was healed.  I could say
this morning, “Bring in all the healers in all the world, I’ve got a
little hangnail.  Guarantee it.”  Wouldn’t be one that could
guarantee it. 

86. In other words, I manifested your name.  I never left any doubt.  I
never left anything. I’ll tell you what’s wrong.  Bro. Branham said,
“You’ve seen your last sign.”  And he turned his back as though
Abraham, …or rather Elohim …had His back to the tent, and Sarah back
there, and He did it.  And everybody said, “Well, that ain’t so
hot…(Phfft)… man alive.  Why goodness me, I know a guy in
fortune-telling, who could do a whole lot better than that.  Why,
goodness me, I don’t know why God would do something like that, when
He could do this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and
this.”   Aw, shut up!  You still wouldn’t be satisfied.  Listen, get
satisfied, because God said that’s what He’d do, and He did it.  

	

	Now you’ve got integrity.  How many times have you and I told people
we’d do certain things, and …(Fap)…we were lying, in their teeth,
or we plumb forgot to do it.  God doesn’t even go to sleep.  How many
sermons has any preacher here outside of myself and Peter, if you’re a
preacher, doesn’t matter, because you'd know what I’m talking about
anyway.  Because you get the same trouble in your business, you go to
bed at night, and you have a dream that’s enlightening, instead when
you wake up, instead of writing it down, you don’t. You say, “I’ll
remember it the next morning.”  And it’s gone.  Or you have a
thought in the night and you’re shown and, “Boy I’ll remember that
because, that’s a good one.”  What was it?  Forget it, you done
forgot it.  God doesn’t sleep.  

87.	God doesn’t change His mind.  He doesn’t lose His train of
thought.  He’s a very fine person.  Wonderful to get along with. Yes
sir, because He’s full of grace and mercy. [John] 21:1.  

		(1)	After these things Jesus (showed Himself) …

	Absolutely proved who he was.  Made it a hundred percent clear
there’s no way out of it.  He’s the Father of settling all doubts.
(See?)  So, therefore, whatever arises out of what God does, has got to
be the truth and you’re standing in that truth. (See?)  Showed
Himself, showed Himself.  

88.  All right.  Now, we go to Colossians 3: we’re into the dynamics
of the mechanics.  What’s going on, that He’s here?  What’s He
doing with us?  Okay, 3:4

		(4)	When Christ, (notice Christ made Him both Lord and Christ, the

                        Anointed, coming back.  When He) …shall
appear, (phaneroo) then

                        shall (we) also appear with him in glory.

	Now, It tells you, I’ve explained that His Presence there, and you
know it. (See?) Absolutely categorized you as one of those in the out
Resurrection, you shall not face death.  Or if you die, you’ve got it
made anyway.  When you can set to your seal that God is true.  And know
that He has Appeared, that this is exactly what our Moses brought back
Elijah, that this is that Word.  You are a part of that revelation. 
Then how are you going to miss it?  (See?) 

89.  1 John 1:2 

		(2)	For the life was manifested, …

	 Oh, they didn’t believe it.  When He came back from the dead, as the
Holy Ghost anointed these great men like Peter, James and John and the
rest, and the great miracle that was done to  this man impotent and
every other miracle they said, “By what power do you guys do this?” 
Then the Pharisees said, “Hold it down, (he said) because it you
can’t scare it out of him, maybe we can buy it.”  They didn’t
recognize It.  They never had a God of integrity.  No way.  They made up
their own God.  A God out of their imagination.  That says the life was
manifested, and we have seen it.  And bear witness, and show unto you
that Eternal Life which was with the Father, and was manifested.  

	In other words, He’s reducing it now to a place of explanation,
delineation, or exegesis.  As It says, “For the Lord appeared unto
Moses again in Shiloh.  For the Lord revealed Himself, to Samuel in
Shiloh, by the Word of the Lord.” [1 Sam 3:21]  He feared to show Eli
the vision.  Let me tell you what Bro. Branham saw in a vision.  And
what God gave him lip to ear. The same absolute delineation that he gave
us, we had the same vision.  We heard the same voice.  Now, that’s the
God of glory.  The honor, God Himself, revealing Himself.  Standing
behind His Own Word.  Proving Himself so meticulously.  Showing Himself
to the Elect, there’ll never be one deceived.  And we give Him glory,
say, “That’s marvelous, who is like unto our God?”  See, that’s
where we’re getting down to the meat of it.

90. This God, then in our day, must shine forth as in Matthew 24:27
starting with His Presence on earth amongst the Bride, and continuing
on, ever shining forth.  Revealing Himself as such as pureness of the
revelation of His matchless fulness of Godhead.  That men will see and
know and estimate God in His Godlikeness, even as God does Himself.  

	Now listen, let’s keep going.  The God of the revelation of Himself,
revealing Himself.  Who is like unto Me?  And the Bride beholding Him,
Matthew 25: listen, comes to the revelation of Himself and beholding
Him, in that same revelation, even God’s own revealing of Himself,
comes into a Spiritual union.  For she is seeing Him, as He is, and His
mind now becomes her mind.  The Logos is becoming flesh again in the
Bride.  Now, that’s the dynamics.  

	That’s the dynamics.  We see Him as He is.  How is He?  Proved
Himself.  Does it line? Never misses.  What do you do about it?  You
give Him glory.  The God of all glory.  There is no glory my
brother/sister, that you can give God, that is not spurious.  That is
not spurious.  Unless It’s in this Word here.  If It’s in this Word,
It is not spurious, otherwise, It is spurious.  You’re merely talking
out the top of your head. That’s why it’s going to come a day, when
every knee will bow, and every tongue confess, that He is Lord, to the
glory of God.  They think they’re doing it now.  There’s only the
Bride can do It.  Because she alone has got a revelation.  And He’s
the Father of It.  He’s the Father of that estimation based on
Reality, that makes a man love Him, and glorify Him. 

91.	You know?  It’s sure true.  The Logos is becoming flesh.  The
Father of glory, the begetter of the manifestation of redemption, now
here to redeem our bodies.  And we, knowing Him, and His purpose by
revelation, give way to His mind, and see how worthy He is, and His
purpose is.  And we know the great mysteries of Himself, and His
purposes.  And we say, “I’m satisfied, there is nothing else but
this.  This is God, the glorious God.”  That’s exactly right. 
That’s what came when Peter and John were there, and He said, “Will
you all leave Me?” 

	 They said, “Hold it, where are we going?” 

	 “Well, you could go back,” 

He said, “Now, hold it, it was a mess back there, I’m not
interested.” 

	 “Well, you could go forward.” 

	They said, “Hold it, hold it.  We weren’t smart enough to keep from
going into a mess.  What will stop us from going into another mess? 
We’ll just sit right here, because this is pretty good.  Because,
we’ve got a conviction, that You have the Words of eternal life”.   

	Yes sir, the Bride is there brother/sister.  Do you follow me?  

92.	Okay.  We go to Psalm 103:7, we’re right back to Moses, and this
hour.  For It says,

		(7)	He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children

		            of (men).

 	There were those who saw God act through a prophet.  And a voice said
to one man, “This is the Bible, you can do it.” But he didn’t stop
and ask God, “How should I do it?” He ran.  He didn’t stop and
say, “What’s behind all this?”  You see, if they’d have been
true elect, they’d have listened to the Words of Jesus.  The
multitudes stood there and saw God in human flesh.  The wonderful acts
that nobody did; opening blind eyes, the kids born, turning water into
wine, stilling storms and breaking bread and dead fish putting into
food.  All these wonderful things, He was doing.  And Jesus said,
“Listen, why didn’t you listen to the miracles, and stand still and
watch, until something changed?” But they wouldn’t do it.   We saw
His acts. But we waited for His ways. Pentecost saw His acts, but, they
wouldn’t wait for His ways.  See?  They missed it.  

93.  Isaiah 25:9

		(9)	And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have

                        waited for him, and he will save us: this is the
LORD; we have

                        waited for him, (and) we will be glad and
rejoice in his salvation.

	That’s the time that death is swallowed up in a victory.Verse 7

		(7)	… he (shall swallow up in the) mountain (of the face of the)
covering 					cast over (the face of the) people, …the vail (was)
spread (upon) 						all nations.

	God Himself, rip off the veil of creeds and dogmas.  God Himself will
swallow death in victory.  God Himself, wipe away the tears. The rest
giving them the rebuke of his people, taken away.  That’s the
relaxation.  It’ll be said in that day, “This is our God, we waited
for Him.”  Did they wait for Him? No way.  

		(10)	For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest... (In this
hour, 						there comes this upon us.) 

 94.  Okay.  Reading: ['The Unveiling of God' 64-16-14]

[231]	Behind the old temple, in the veil, what was back there? That was
Jehovah.  				What was hid back there? What was the veil hiding? 
Hallelujah! What was 				the veil hiding? It was hiding the Word.  The
veil (old badger skins) was 					hiding the Word to their eyes, natural.
 Behind there, also, was the shewbread.  				Behind there, was the
Shekinah glory.  But It was all hid from them. It was 				all hid.  All
the glory of God, was right behind that old badger skin, that’s 				
right, hid to the natural eye.  

                      

 	 What do do you think was hidden behind this Word?  In which the
Spirit is veiled today, as the prophet brought it.  One God, and His
Name is Lord Jesus Christ.  “Pyah…who wants that?”  Spit on It. 
Crucified It.  It is today too.  It's called a bunch of holy rollers,
fanatics. They don’t know what’s hid behind there. (See?) That’s
right, they don’t know. They didn’t know what lay veiled in Reverend
 Branham.  Then when God in mercy rent the veil for them to see, they
were so wrapped up in their traditions.  It was still hid from them. 
Even to this day.  Same now. The glory, the power of the Holy Spirit,
the Shekinah glory that comes upon the believer now.  I mean the real
believer. That causes the works of God and the faith, to come into Him,
to believe the Word of God.

95.  That’s all hid to them eyes, they say, “Those things are
past.”  You see? They’re still behind the veil.  You’re not behind
that veil anymore, little ones.  God’s come into full view of you. 
Listen, it’s not blind worship by creed, and dogma, nor sensation, or
exaltation by error, but by truth.  For John 24:24, “They that worship
Him, must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.” Is in effect.  That
which is perfect has already come. (See?) He’s here, the perfect Word.
 The knowledge of Him, has brought about a perfect union.  Now listen,
that word in the Greek, absolutely signifies, this is not a general
knowledge.  But a most specific definitive knowledge, which has a
definite, definitive, positive, effect upon the believer or the knower.

 	Nothing else will do it.  Nothing else is going to take a place.  The
knowledge of the Lord, His Presence here, alone is going to have an
effect upon you.  Then, why try to effect it?  A certain preacher
preached last year, with another certain preacher, down in Macon.  The
one preacher said, “That which is perfect is not come.” And the
other preacher backed him up. And he got up there, and he said,
“I’ll tell you how to change every church in America, or every
church represented here.  Let two people go back to that church, and
tell their preacher, “We’re going to pray, we’re going to fast,
we’re going to do so and so.  It’ll change the church.”  It will,
but, it won’t do this.  It won’t do this.  

96.  There’s no way it can do it.  Because the knowledge of Him, is
what has the effect.  And the effect is change.  Fast your head off. 
Pray your head off.  Testify your head off.  Read your head off on the
Bible.  Stand back by the hour and wave in His Presence, “hallelujah
Jesus.” Let's see you waving, hallelujah Lord. See you waving.  Go
ahead, starve yourself, it won’t do you one bit of good.  Because if
He is not here to do It, by His revelation It is not going to be done. 
But if He is here, then believe on It.  

That’s what I said, consecration was last night, to Bro. Branham. He
said, “Those angels, they’re coming.  I must consecrate myself.”
Right away people say, “Oh Bro. Branham’s scared.”  Oh, you watch,
He’s going to walk softly.  He’s going to tippy, tippy, toe. 
What’s that got to do with it?  No more than when God said, “I’m
coming, and I’m going to heal with wings of righteousness.” Healing
upon the people. Then, I’m also coming, and I’m going to destroy. 

97.  And He said, “I’m going to send Elijah, the first time, so I
won’t destroy.” So, everybody said, “Let’s all be Elijah’s,
Hallelujah.  We’ll just keep Elijah here, and that will stop God
coming.” Hogwash!  God’s going to come and destroy with a million
Elijah’s.  Why don’t you get the record straight?  It is this
knowledge, at the end-time that brings about our literal transformation,
our transfiguration.  Pray and fast, I’m all for it.  Do a few hours
for me.  But not to change me, because it ain’t going to do you no
good.  Just so I’ll be a nicer guy, to get along with.  Not so long
winded.  Try to tell it in four sermons instead of one.  Forget it,
you’re going to get it in one, or you ain’t going to get it.  Just
that simple.

   Listen, the same Dr. Vine that made a mistake on the Parousia, as to
the time elements and continuity, said this concerning that same Word,
that’s the knowledge.  And what is the knowledge?  It’s God, and the
knower, enter into a perfect union.  This is what the Scripture says. 
Bro. Branham said, “It’s uniting time.” You see what I’m
preaching dynamics this morning.  It’s out of your hands entirely,
it’s out of my hands entirely.  Everything is in His hands, to the
Elect.  And the Elect will be there, changed.  And the test of election,
the baptism with the Holy Ghost is; Do you believe this Word, for this
hour? If you do, you’re going to have your change as nothing is going
to stop you.  

98.  All right.  We now go to 'Unveiling' again.  ['The Unveiling of
God'  64-6-14]

[116]	But in the last days He is supposed to return again, but a Pillar
of Fire is 					supposed to come back and manifest the Son of man, see,
to show the Word,				 the Light.  That’s the Word  and light
phenomenon.  The traditions that's been, 				will be wiped away.
There’s nothing going to bother It; (that’s this 	Word) 					it’s
going to be done anyway.  God just tears them denominations and 					
traditions down…What kind of a Spirit will He do it?  Like He did in
the 					first place.  Look what He did in the days of Elijah, in the
days of John.  					“Don’t you think to think to say within
yourself, ‘we've got Abraham to 					the father,’ ‘cause God is
able of these stones to raised up children to 					Abraham.” See? 

	 Don’t you think, because I belong to this or I belong to that.
(See?) God’s tearing off the veil. (See?) To show Who He is. See,
watch, the veil when it rends, here now we find out now. 

98.	Now:

[117]	…at one time, if a man walked through that veil, it was sudden
death. 

           Now, it’s death not to go through It!  Amen.  If you
can’t break that veil

          of tradition, break through that wall of denomination, to see
God and His 					power, it’s death…Once…

	 See, that’s what it is, the power to raise the dead, has got to be
here.  If you don’t see that, you missed it.  See, Israel missed it. 
The power of God was there to take them in, and they

dug their heels in.  Because they wanted the stinky leeks and onions of
Egypt. (Yeah) God was their belly, glory their shame.  You can’t break
that veil of tradition.  Break through that wall of denomination, to see
God in His power is death. 

		Once, where it was death to go in, now, it’s death to stay out.  The

      	whole Mercy Seat is setting in plain view, anyone can see It, the
veil

		is rent.  Glory to God! The whole Mercy Seat comes in plain view.

[118]	How God could have mercy on foul sinners such as us, when He hid 

		Himself, was a mystery.  And now, It’s in plain view, or in full
view,

		revealed by His Word.  It’s always the Word, constantly, it's God.  

         	It’s the Word that opens it up.  If those people would have
knowed

         	 the Word of God that day when Jesus died, they would have
seen the 

       	Mercy Seat, they would have seen Who He was…

[119]	Who was that man? Why did the veil rent?  Remember, it was death
to go 					into It.  Nobody  could see it.  Moses saw it, (in the form,
was) a Man’s 					back. Well, here it is, a bleeding back., that same
Man! What was It? 					God, wanted show them the Mercy Seat.  God,
wanted to show them Who 					He was.  So, the veil in the temple, from
the hand of God was rent from 					top to bottom, showed God in plain
view. It was Jesus Christ hanging on 					the cross, the Mercy Seat. And
what was it? The people were too blind 					to see It. 

99.  [Now:]

[120]	Now, it’s repeated again. their traditions!  …then the Day of
Pentecost, 

         	 the Word came, a form of the “Son of God.” …they began
to organize…

        	at Nicaea, Rome. …the first thing, they went to Methodist,
Baptist, 						Presbyterian, Pentecostals and so (on). It’s organized 
traditions of,

           	men don’t know where he stands. But, glory to God, He
promised in 					the last day, what He would do: He would show His Word
in open plain 					view, open before us again…open It up.  

[121]	If they’d  a only knowed the Word, they’d a-knowed Who Jesus
was. 

         	If man only knowed the Word of God, he'd know the hour we were
living					 in, what’s going on. They just refused to listen to that
Word.  Their 					traditions.  What caused those Jews to see that?
Looked like they could 					have actually seen, because the thing was
tore open.  It was tore for a 					purpose.

 [122] 	What's this revival belong for now? How could it prosper? How
could it					 be blessed?  I don’t care how many impersonations it’s
got or anything else. 				(He stands like Moses.)  When Moses went out,
there with a mixed multitude 				went with him. But, what has it done
for? …Jehovah… taking the veil off 					of God, to show the
difference between right and wrong. 

100.  And that’s Malachi brother/sister. Absolutely 3:16…or 18, I
forget which. 

		Which is Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, who is, right?  God’s
Word

 		 is right!  “Let every man’s word be a lie, and Mine the
Truth,” (said God). 

    		God needs no interpreter, He does His own interpretation.  He
manifests 

   		it, and made it.  He gaves the interpretation, God unveiling
Himself… 

  		Oh my, right in the midst of us, we see His great hand telling us
things,                                        		 doing these things.

[123]	Got something on that tonight…

[124]	And people say, “Oh, That’s nonsense. That’s fanaticism.”
Then there 					is nothing to That.  That’s nonsense.  That’s
Beelzebub.  That’s devil.					That’s fortune-telling. That’s this,
(that’s that.)”  See, same thing 						said about Him.  

[125]	(The) church and this tape goes out, can’t you see, ministers of
the Gospel 				what we're living?  Can’t you see the hour you’re in?
 God, showing Himself,

		setting aside… Look, He took that temple veil and tore it to pieces,
that

        	 they might see God in plain view, and they were too blind to
see it. And 

         	He’s done the same thing today, putting His Word right out
in front…

101.  As I said, “It’s right under your nose.”  Don’t look over
here, don’t look over there.  Look, It’s been done.  It’s already
done. It’s proven, you’ve seen your last sign.  Relax, or you’ll
miss the First Resurrection.  

[125]	  Every promise in the Word, laying right before us in plain view!

[126]	You know what the Gentile church does?  The same thing the Jewish

        	 church did, too blind to see it.  That’s all.  It’ll be on
their hearts, just as 					it was in that day.  

[127]	Notice, death to stay away from It now. You must go into It
through this veil, 				or you won’t. (live, I guess he means) How God
could mercy on them, but 					remember what it was, that God is
manifesting what was behind that veil.  					Watch what was behind that
veil, the Word! What did it veil?  (What did 					it hide?)  The Word!
(What was it?) It’s in the ark.  It was the Word, that 					the veil
hid.  See?  And Jesus was that Word, and He is that Word, and 					the
veil of His flesh, hid it.

[128]   And today the veil of tradition hides the Word again… (Then,
how can

      	He be in tradition. See?) … “It’s not so.” But It is so! 
God testifying of It, 

        	blasting Himself right out as bright as the sun, before
everyone, and

         	they fail to see It.  God be merciful…

 

[129] 	In type, Moses coming from God with the Presence of God, With the
Word 				of God for that age. Now watch, we’re in Exodus 19: Moses is
coming from

         	the Presence of God, 20, and 21…  Moses is coming from the
Presence

         	of God, he had been into the Word.  The Word has been wrote. 
And he,

       	 in the Presence of God, with the Word, he had the Word for that
age.  

        	There is a Word for each age. And Moses coming forth, his face
shined so!					See?  The Word was in him, ready to be manifested, to be
given to the people.

[130]   	The true Word, God wrote It, and It was with Moses. Notice, It
was with 

    		Moses and … ready to be manifested. (That is told to the people,
and 

          	proven.)  He was the Word to them, he was the living Word,
hid.  Veiled

         	 himself, Moses had to put a veil over his own face.  Why?  He
was that					Word. Amen. Until that Word was made known, Moses had to
veil himself.  

		Do you see it? Wherever the Word is, it’s veiled. 

102.   Now, how was it veiled?  They didn’t understand, they
couldn’t perceive what he said.  “Why it just can’t be that
way.” But it was that way.  

[131] 	Moses had the Word.  Now remember, after the Word was made 

       	manifest, Moses was Moses again.  See?  But, while that Word was

          	in him to be give out, he was God; for he wasn’t Moses no
more.

      	He had the Word of  God  for that age.  Nothing could touch him
until

          	it was over; had that Word with him. So therefore, when he
come, the 					people turn their head, they couldn’t understand.  He
had been changed.  					He was a different fellow.  He came with that
Word. "And he put a veil."  					The Bible said, it "was over his face,"
for he had the Word. And he was 					the Word…  

103. Now listen, that same prophet, disobeyed God, and died.  Now you
see what I’m trying to tell you, and you’re still not getting it. 
It is not character.  Now, don’t just nod your head and agree.  You
had better nod your hearts with your heads, and you have better believe
It.  It’s not character. It is not fruit.  No way.  It is not a power
ministry. It is not getting closer to God. Because how closer to God can
you get than God being in you, and you being in God?  

  	Then you flunked the test.  And it’s not obedience.  Well, what is
it?  It’s God doing it.  You have got to come to the place where you
give up. Oh, all the men want wives obey your husband’.  Now my sweet
little sweetie, pussy pie, you must obey me.  Or I’ll cut off your
slacks… (Oh, yeah, there’ll be a slack time in the old town
tonight.)  Oh, big shot husbands.  That’s not how it works.  It’s
not how it works.  The woman types the Bride.  Then the Bride is the
Bride, because she’s Bride.  

	You know, I doubt very much, if I’ll see a cat fly like a crow. 
Because a cat’s not a crow.  But I have no doubts, that I will never
see a Bride, act like a Bride, unless she is Bride.  And this is the
tragic thing, that everybody is trying to do, is trying to force
themselves into a mold.  And to think that by doing something, you’re
going to get somewhere. It is not you doing anything, but thinking. 
Starts up here, mechanics.  Recognition.  Then comes revelation.  Then
comes, you giving to God your revelation.  And if it’s the right
revelation, you said the right Word, It’s going to come back on you. 
That’s your right Word.  (See?) Too many men want to force their wives
to do things.  God is not forcing anybody.  He left Himself open, in
full view.   

104.  See:

[132]	 Now look, if Moses…  Oh brother, here is going to be an insult.
But if 					Moses… Paul said here in 2 Corinthians 3: (Now we’re
getting places) 					…if Moses had to veil his face, with that type of
Glory on him…(now that’s 				God’s assessment, and God standing
right with It)… See, because, that was 				a natural glory, that was a
natural law.  And if Moses, knowing that law had 				to perish, but, the
Glory was so great that it blinded the people, so they had 				to put a
veil over his face. How much more will it be?  Spiritual blinded 				
people! … That glory was to fade away, but This Glory won’t fade
away.  

	 What glory?  I’m talking about now.  It’s not going to fade. 
I’m going to tell you, it’s not going to fade.  Because It’s not
fading.  

[132]	…See Moses had the carnal laws, the condemnation, no grace, no

         	nothing; …just condemned you.  But, This we’re speaking
about…

         	That had no pardon, that just told you what you was. (And
didn’t

       	give you a way out.) 

[133]	(But) when that Word is unveiled, oh, my, what kind of face will
It be?

          	 It’ll have to be veiled.  It’s got to be veiled.  Now
notice.  So the Spirit 

		is veiled in a human temple, see, He to speak the natural words with a


      	 natural veil. 

[134]	Now, Paul speaking here now, and in this – this sense, the
Spirit-Word, 					(now here,) “We are ministers, not of the letter,
the law; but able ministers 				of the Spirit, That the Spirit takes the
letter and manifests It.

105.  The mechanics have got to be there, before the dynamics.  (See?)  

[135]	That was just law, you had to go look at it, and say, “Thou
shall not 					commit adultery.  Thou shall not steal.  Thou shall not
lie. Thou shall not 					do this, that, or the other.” See? You had to
look at that. 

[136]   	But this is Spirit that comes upon the promised Word for this
age, and					Brings forth and manifests, not two tables of stone, but
the Presence of					the living God.  Not a mystical thought somebody
made up, or some

       	Houdini, … trick; but the very promise of God revealed and
made manifest

        	right before us.  What sort of a veil will that be behind?  

[137]   See, that was so great till even the people said, they said when
they (saw)					Jehovah come down in the Pillar of Fire, began to shake
the earth, …the 					things He done, and the mountain on fire.  And if
anybody tried to go to 					that mountain they perished.  It was so
great till even Moses feared (and 			   		quaked.) Then at that time He
shook … the mountain, this time He’ll shake

         	Heavens… (Hebrew 12) 

[138]   What about This Glory? If that was veiled by a natural veil,
this is 

          	 veiled by a spiritual veil.  So don’t try to look at the
natural; break into

         	the  spiritual and see where you’re at, see what hour
we’re living in.  

[139]	Does It make sense to you? See, It’s a spiritual veil that’s
over the people,

          	say, “I’m Methodist. I’m as good as anybody.  I’m
Baptist.  And I’m 				  	Pentecostal.”…

106.  Now, amongst us people aren’t saying that.  But they’re acting
it. They’re acting it.  How come a preacher don’t even know if
he’s baptized right?  Stand in the pulpit to tell other people about
it.  Now, that’s right, you bet your sweet life.  Just don’t push
me.  I’ve warned you before.  You say, “Where did that come from?”
Two guesses and you’re right in both counts.  

 		…I’m Methodist.  I’m as good as anybody. …

      You been baptized right?  You ain’t in it.  Let me tell you
something.  You got doubts about your baptism?  Tell the deacons to get
the water in there right now, and get baptized before you leave this
church.  Because that’s where your faith died.  When you had that
doubt, how could I have any faith in my doubts the way they were?  Then
my doubts are gone.  I’m Pentecostal.  (Fap) I’ve got nothing about
Pentecostal, about me.  

 		Don’t you realize that’s a traditional veil, It's hiding God from
you?  That’s				the things that keep you from enjoying it all.  Oh you
shout and jump up 					and down.  He said, “Every Word.”  Eve
believed every Word but one.  See, 				it’s the full Word, the promise
of the hour made manifest.

   

107.   Okay.  Nuggets.  It’s a good book if you know what you’re
doing with It.   If you know what you’re doing, you’d better watch
It.  It can be poison.  If you know what you’re doing, oh, It’s
fantastic.  This morning is fantastic. God rest, God fortified His army,
what with?  Himself, in the form of prophet, apostles, teachers,
evangelists, pastors.  Did you ever think what that office of the church
is?  It’s God’s dress.  Inside dress.  What is it?  God’s dressed
up in His Church.  When you see those offices; pastors, teachers,
evangelists, etcetera, what is that?  That’s God’s dress-wear. 
God’s Presence.  God’s Spirit in the working through men.  And if
that office denies any of this Word, it’s not God’s dress, the whole
armor of God.  

   	You see why I’m preaching this morning?  Do you understand why
something in my heart broke a while ago, and said, “I want to be with
people I can just talk to.”  We can sit down where conversation begins
to flow.  Because I’m going to be honest with you, and I’ve got to
tell you honestly, as many things that I cannot express.  I haven’t
got the ability.  If I sit with the right person, it begins to come out,
and I enjoy it myself.  I am so happy, because they understand what
I’m saying.  And I can stand up here at times, and I really don’t
know what I’m saying.  I’m desperately trying.  This morning, I’ve
had no trouble, believe me, I know everything I’ve said, and, why
I’ve said it.  

	But there are times when I try to express, but it just isn’t there. 
Because the fullness isn’t there with me, but I know I’ve got ahold
of something.  So therefore, I’ve tried to make it.  Now, I  don’t
know that I can sit with people.  I don’t know that I can do that. 
That maybe something in my heart was crying out, because of this is what
has to take place, for you to get It. The same as I have to sit there,
for me to get It.  Remember, Moses ate the same Manna, that he brought
down for the people.  William Branham had no different Word, nor Paul
did have any different Word.  And I don’t have any different Word. 
(See?)  All right.  

108.  The ministry is deeply involved.  Necessary.  That’s why this
Laodicean spirit is so tragic.  They get fed up with one preacher, who
becomes a spiritual dictator, and they run like a scalded dog.  Can’t
they ever learn?  No, it’s swing  this far, swing that far.  Swing
that far, swing over here.  They can’t settle down.  Let me tell you,
what the Bible says.  They’ll miss the First Resurrection.  They
ain’t going to make It.  They’re not going to make It, they can’t
wait for the bringing forth.  No, they’ve got to run.  They’ve got
all the answers.  Let me tell you something brother/sister: if I am
ordained to teach your God that the prophet said; if I have what he said
that identified me with him in the Book of Revelation, that Flame of
Fire, Spirit of prophecy, testimony to Jesus Christ.  

 	Let us understand this, and I have no pride in saying it.  There’s
hardly a man that’s going to stand beside me, and knowing the things
that I know.  And it’s not because I know anything.  It’s because a
gift.  William Branham knew nothing of himself, and I know nothing of
myself.  What comes so clearly here lined up, is no part of my thinking,
or anything to do with me whatsoever.  Never has and never will be.  And
my gift is not for me, any more than Bro. Branham’s was for him.  It
is for the people.  That’s why I’m so serious and so strong in what
I say.  I know what I’m saying.  Why I’m saying it.  Because I’m a
partaker of the first-fruit myself, to know what is going on in the Word
at this hour.  And I’m telling you, “I am preaching this morning
with one end, to arouse in you a life, that you’ll begin to
recognize.” Their God is moving.

109.  You set yourself up for a big job.  I never set myself for
anything.  God said It.  Let me read it to you, so you’ll understand
we’re not fooling.  I didn’t intend to fool.  I didn’t want these
messages that long.  But I’m glad they’re that long.  I have no
apology, I have no regrets.  And I’m going to read It to you.  The
very thing that Bro. Branham said here in 2 Corinthians 3.

		(18)	But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of
the

                        Lord, are changed into the same image from glory
to glory, …as

                        by the Spirit of the Lord.

 	In other words,  we looking in this Bible, and we see God’s absolute
true assessment.  God’s Own mind revealed.  We begin changing and
suddenly there’s an expression begins to flow.  And the Word begins to
turn into flesh here.  And the flesh begins to turn into Word, as we
receive the Word of God in our flesh.  That’s the Spirit of the Lord
is doing this, through the Word.  The Word releasing the energy that lay
within the bare mechanics of the mind goes down here into the soul.  And
God begins to do something.  

110.  Now listen, "therefore, seeing we have this ministry." [2 Cor 4:1]
 If we receive mercy, we faint not.  What ministry?  The ministry of
bringing a Word, that changes people’s lives.  That transforms men and
women, from caterpillars into butterflies. (See?)  Why?  Because He is
here doing It.  Not the words of a man.  My words, and William
Branham’s words, mean nothing.  But if It’s His Word, then He stands
behind It.  And there must be people changed.  Absolutely into a
glorified body.  I’m depending on it, from what the Word of God said,
and what the prophet taught.  You depend on it, is your business.  

	Now listen.  He said, “We’ve renounced the hidden things of
dishonesty. We haven’t got time for cheap lies.  Not walking in
craftiness.  Handling the Word of God deceitfully. Trying to build up a
crowd, or something else. Trying to bring somebody in, or run somebody
off, or something else.  But by manifestation of truth, commending
ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.  There’s
only one way you can do that, and that is stick to the Word of Almighty
God, point by point, letter by letter, and God’s Spirit witnessing
that that’s the Truth coming forward. (See?)  No other way.  

111.  Now listen.  If our gospel is hid, it’s hid to those that are
lost, in whom the God of this world has blinded the minds, mind, minds,
notice It says ‘minds’ of them that believe not.  You know, the only
way you’re going to get a real rapturing faith, is by your mind,
turned loose to receive the Word of God.  Brother/sister, I’ve made
that right statement to God, I said, “I’m just miserable, there’s
nothing in my life anymore.”  What’s it all about?  

	All those wasted years I stood here to preach what the prophet said to
the best of my knowledge.  But one day I stood there, and I can’t
understand even what I said.  But within my heart I said, “I’ve got
to just somehow stand with It.”  It was all over.  It was all over. 
You say, “Bro. Vayle, what’s it going to be next week?”  How do I
know?  I’m going to tell you one thing, the devil, … he’s against
these gates.  The gates of hell are against these gates of glory that
God’s given us.  And I want to tell you, don’t you believe for one
minute, that the devil just might sneak around tomorrow, or even in five
minutes from now.  I’ve got news for you.  He’s already here.  And
he’ll take everything he can away from you to destroy you.  

112.  But I’m trying to encourage you by my testimony, and by the Word
this morning, to get you to understand. Look, this is real, the
revelation has come back.  I… listen, I can be wrong,  but my
revelation has come back.  I’m going to tell you, if you’re wrong,
your revelation is going to come back.  Because in this hour, you will
be a part of that revelation.  Whatever you have.  If you’re
Pentecostal, you’ll be back shortly.  If you’re not real, you’ll
go right back where you were.  Because this is not a fly by night,
catchy thing.  We’re at the end of the day.  History will not be
written.  It is already over.  In whom the God of this world blinded the
minds of them that believed not, lest the light…[ 

	   And we see in Him, all that glory.   God’s own estimation. 
God’s Own mind.  And Bro. Branham took us back, beyond eternities. 
And you say, “That’s wonderful.” Not a little tricky thing that
made you think, “Hey isn’t that clever.”  Oh look, I’m human.  I
like those little things that are tricky, and clever.  But this is far
beyond that.  This is life, I’m talking about.  The glorious gospel.  

113.  "For we preach not, ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord." [2 Cor
4:5] If that flame of fire is a testimony to Jesus Christ, you’ve got
to understand I’d be the stupidest  guy in the world to try to testify
to Lee Vayle, when I’ve got a compulsion to testify to Him.  It’d be
so mixed up, it’d be pitiful.  I couldn’t preach this way.  No way. 
“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ the Lord, your servants for
Jesus’ sake”.  Mine is not for myself.  No man in a five-fold
ministry, has a ministry for himself.  No way.  You can see your own
kids go down the drain.  You can see life flit away, and your family
dissolve, and what you preach brings others into a glorious thing.  You
say, “Oh God, why couldn’t it happen to me?” 

	Well, the ministry wasn’t for you, it was for the people.  You’ll
get yours on the other side.  One’s in now, two to go.  Who knows? 
“For God commanded the light to shine out of darkness. Has shined into
our hearts to give the life of the knowledge of the glory of God,” [2
Cor 4:6] on the face of Jesus Christ.  What’s He talking about? This
very hour of a change, a Resurrection and a Rapture. Then in the light
of spiritual revival of Ephesians 5:13-20, “ Awake thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead…”

	We come into the marriage union, … and I won’t read It in Ephesians
5:25-32, which is the great mystery of this hour, brought about by this
Word, and this only according to Ephesians 4:11-16.  We are now ready
for a Rapture.  So, now the dead can come forth, and all the power of
God, the Logos, changing bodies, and taking us up.  Yes, subjection, not
pressure, not coercion, but revealed Light.  As before Sodom, (We’ll
get you out of here before three.) That’s wonderful. Praise God, for
small mercies.  

114.  All right.  Let’s get it.  Genesis 18:17

		(17)	And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham (the) thing (that) 	
				I (shall) do;

	That’s the hour.  God coming down.  God revealing.  Not coercion. 
But He said, “I’m going to tell Abraham.”  Now, He said, “I know
Abraham is going to do what I tell him, because he’s going to raise
his family right.”  I know I’ve got Abraham to the place where he'll
do it. I'm not there all the… [audio cuts out for several minutes]
…because I went the extra mile.  Do you hear what I said?  That’s
the Bride.  God said to Abraham, to Himself, “I know Abraham, he’ll
do it.”  Now, you're not looking at a superman, because look, tomorrow
I’ll fall flat on my face.  There’s no problem there.  The old shell
hasn’t changed.  Lee Vayle is just as rotten and stinkier than ever,
because he’s a few days older.  And meaner, sharper, because age does
it.  But inside, there’s something different.  

115. Inside, is where the garment goes brother/sister.  Now you might
have thought that the old Lee is up here testifying so that people will
listen to him, and like him. You missed it entirely. I’m telling you,
and I’m baring my heart, to let you know, what my ministry really is. 
What I believe, and what it’s all about.  And I may never preach to
you again, I don’t know, because I’m going to get busy.  I don’t
know what’s in the air.  I’ve booked myself solid, I intend with the
grace of God, to do whatever I can.  But above all, I want to be where
He wants me to be.  And I want to tell you, and make sure that you know,
that I can stand with the prophet and say, “I don’t have one bit of
grace that belongs to me.  It’s all been His grace, because nothing
could have been done, except He did it for me.” 

	And I’m of the firm conviction with Bro. Branham, that when God came
down to help Adam and Eve, that they were wholly dependent upon Him, to
start the work.  I believe I’m wholly dependent on Him, to finish the
work.  Do you understand now, why I don’t preach great miracle
ministry, or manifested sons, or this thing, or that thing?  I take it
one day at a time.  God show me, and reveal to me, and work.  Now in my
books, it’s working.  In my understanding this is what it’s all
about.  I can be wrong.  Certainly, I can be wrong.  I don’t believe
that I am.  I don’t believe I am.  What the revelation meant to me, in
my mechanical understanding, has begun to percolate, has begun to
develop, down within the soul.

116. And I can tell you, that something has happened, and it’s better
than it was.  The very thing that I was supposed to get to Bro. Branham
with, and could never get to him happened, and is better than if I ever
got to him.  Yet, I stuffed and I stewed, and I would murmur, and I
repented that I’d been angry, and disconsolate, and a million things. 
(See?) I served Him well.  But not once did I have a chance to have that
deep thing within me, where I sprang all complexes.  And I don’t say I
haven’t got any. But it’s not there.  Bro. Branham said, "you walked
away."  But I didn’t walk away from anything, it walked away from me. 
Because He is doing It.  And I stand here this morning, and I’m taking
a long time with you, and I’m not finished, but almost.  I want you to
know, so that you understand.  I do not believe that you can do one
single solitary thing about what’s going on. 

	Except, consecrate yourself.  Which means, “Lord, I know It’s here.
I am here, Do It  to me O God, or It will never be done.”  Now
that’s the message.  He came before destruction.  He rose with healing
in His wings. Bro. Branham said, “I believe I’m healed.”  Why
would he heal me in this late in the day?  Bro. Branham…my
understanding died or was injured that very day, and that very Presence,
that aggravated him and just about killed him, was with him.  But what
was It? He lost all fear.  He said, “Lee, I don’t know the meaning
of fear.  Since I’m a child now, It’s happening to me.” Perfect
love, casting out all fear.  You say, “Are you trying to be like the
prophet?”  No way.  God bless your heart…listen, you better know me
better than that.  

117. I’m as vacillating as the wind in a mulberry bush, or a cyclone
on a hilltop.  There’s no way you could calm me down.  It would have
to be God.  What He’s done, I’m grateful for.  If He never does one
more thing, I’ll praise Him eternally.  But I want to tell you all,
that I’ve not lied to any of you.  I stood here through thick and
thin.  I’ve let you down at times.  I’ll admit it, I let you down,
by being blind to what was going on.  But I did worse than you realize. 
I spit in God’s face to do it, and I paid my price for it.  But never
again.  Never again.  You say, “Never?”  I say, “Never.” 
Because I’ve had it with folly.  But I want you to know one thing.  I
stand with this Word.  

	No matter what you see happen to me, or what happens within this shell;
I want you to know this morning, if there is any virtue, if there is any
grace, if there is any mercy, if anything has happened, and it is
happening, and anything will happen.  It is because He is here with this
Word.   [tape ends]
