Negative to the Positive

'The Eternal Motivation of Worship' 

Bro. Lee Vayle   -    December 4, 1983

	Heavenly Father, we're very grateful that you sent Your Spirit in our
midst in order to reveal the deep and secret things of God, to dispel
darkness, to make manifest Your great and wonderful Name to fulfill
Scripture, there's nothing that's been left out. We're very happy for
that, to see all these things come, Lord, just within the scope of Your
Word, proving Your Word is really You, that You stand behind that
written Word to perform It. Because, we know that Word comes into
manifestation. That manifestation being You, Yourself.

	Many things that we cannot understand, Lord, but this one thing we
know, that You are here revealing Yourself, showing of these great and
wonderful things, taking us unto Your chamber, showing us the secret
things. We're very grateful for that. We pray, Lord, You'll bless us
this morning with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ
Jesus. We'll be careful to give You the praise, in Jesus' Name we pray.
Amen. You may be seated.

1.	Now, what we have in mind is as we said Wednesday night, we took Bro.
Roger's tape was a great blessing. Last night I went into what we took
down in Memphis, on the grounds of particularly clarifying the thoughts
where Bro. Branham said, "The great thing we're looking for is not
fruit, it is not character, it is not nearness to God and so and so."

	You see, everyone of those things was not something that you would be
responsible to have even through a ministry of the Holy Spirit. It was
something entirely apart from you, which is God Himself descending with
a Shout, the Voice, the archangel, The trump of God. And we showed you,
(I believe) exactly how it would take place. Exactly the Scripture, the
reason Bro. Branham said these things.

2.	Now, we went down there to Memphis and took a message on
Thanksgiving. And again, there's many here this morning that weren't
there, you didn't hear. Which doesn't necessary mean any great loss,
but, I find that more people were happier in the Thanksgiving meeting
with the message than perhaps almost any other message I'd ever
preached. And very complimentary they said it was a masterpiece, which
to me it was not. Because to me this type of preaching is not really Lee
Vayle in my ordained capacity to bring the Word.

	But, because as I said, there'd be some of you who when you get the
tape might not have a chance to listen to it, I'm going to bring the
same message now and get back to the Rapture a little later on. And
we're going to change the subject and weave in the same information
under the new title, and you will see that it fits perfectly with the
hour in which we live as the negative gets closer to the positive.

3.	Now remember, a negative is not a negative per se, as we understand
negativity. For a negative would seemingly annul things. But, this
negative is in the term of a film. Where a person takes a shot and that
negative must be developed, and when it is developed you see the subject
clearly.

	So, Bro. Branham said, "We're coming from the negative to the
positive." Now, he said, "It throws a shadow." And putting his hand up,
he said, "If this (he said) were an elephant and it comes into reality,
it turns out to be a mouse," he said, "something's wrong." 

	So, what we're looking at is that which is ordained of God in the
understanding of the beginning. Which beginning is as a seed which must
come to a maturity.

	Now, the maturity is like this: I plant a seed. Now, what you see and
you plant is not the real plant. Now, let's understand this in 1
Corinthians 15. Now, before I go any further I want to tell you
something: Bro. Branham said one time: "I'm not even going to watch the
clock, do you understand if you read Reader's Digest you're going to
find great scientists have found out the rhythm of the human body there
is no such thing as a twenty four hour day, but there is a thirty day
month. When the body is left to its own without any pressures the body
has a rhythm which is beyond the twenty four hours."

	 So, even time is running out. So, we're getting into the rhythm of
God. Now, hopefully my preaching is in the rhythm of God, so sit still
for three hours if necessary. Or stand up, but don't make a nuisance of
yourself. Alright, I'll do that for you. Right?

4.	All right, now in 1 Corinthians 15:35,

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

		(36) 	Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it
die:

		(37) 	And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall
be, 					but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

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

	Well, the seed already has a body. I can tell a wheat seed from an oat
seed. I can tell a flax seed from a poppy seed. Now, there's some seed I
can't tell apart. So you see, I'm not going very far. But, I can tell a
wheat seed from a corn seed. You see, but really if you get right down
to the knitty-gritty, the real seed which is the life is invisible.

	Now, it's like a spirit, (because life is spirit) so when God gives it
a chemistry, then that begins to come forth, you begin to see this thing
in its reality, because you can only apprehend reality when that reality
cloaks it's self in a manner that you can apprehend it.

	All right, there is a seed that is planted here on earth. There is a
seed that God sowed in this hearth pertaining to everything that's going
to be in the Millennium and on the other side. Every seed that God
planted is original, and will have its perfection over in the
Resurrection.

6.	All right, "and every plant My heavenly Father hath not planted, God
is going to uproot and burn." [Mt 15:13] It'll never seed itself again.
Now, we're going to talk about that today in our subject of: 'the
eternal motivation of worship'. There is a motivation of worship which
starts here in the negative and then goes to the positive.

	All right, we're going to start a little preamble getting into our
subject by going to Matthew 6:9b-10. It said:  

		(9) 	…Our Father which (is) in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

		(10) 	Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

	Something started in heaven which is the living reality. It came down
here in a negative, which means 'a seed in a form', which was to develop
and will develop until this which is in heaven is down here on earth in
the same perfection.

	Now, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done as it is in heaven."

7.	Now, with that we go to Revelation 5:8-14.

		(8)	And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and (the) four and
					twenty elders before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, 				
	and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of the saints.

		(9)	And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the
book, 					and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast
redeemed 					us to God by that blood out of every kindred, and tongue,
and people, 					and nation;

		(10)	And has made us unto our God kings and priests: (that's a kingdom
					of priests) and we shall reign on the earth. (Notice, it's going to
						come down to earth what John saw up there.)

		(11)	And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about
the 					throne and the beasts and elders: and the number of them ten
thousand 					times ten thousand, thousands, thousands;

		(12)	Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to 		
			receive power, and riches, and wisdom and strength, and honour, 					
and glory, and blessing.

		(13)	And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and
under 					the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in
them, heard 						I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,
be unto him 						that (sits) upon the throne…

 	That's a picture of the doors of the temple, the pillars begging to
sway, everything in a rhythm toward God, praise in adoration and
worship. Where everything today is completely out of cater, there's
coming down to this earth this scene which we see here.

		(13)	…and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

		(14)	And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders 		
			fell down and worshipped him that liveth fore ever and ever.

	Now, this scene is going to be duplicated on earth. I don't care how
puerile and how pitiful our worship is. We saw scene in heaven which is
'the positive'. And we were given a seed in earth which is going to
bring forth the same positive as it's seen in heaven, but in the
perfectly redeemed.

8.	So alright, we're looking at picture of worship. There are three
settings now that John saw in his heavenly vision in the Book of
Revelation. Which will fulfill Matthew 6:9-10, as concerning truly,
spiritually motivated worship.

	Now, you notice in here which I read in Revelation 5:8-14 a motivated
worship. A motivated worship, spiritually motivated which is what we're
looking to.

	Now, those section of Scripture found in Revelation 4:1-11, - 7:12-17,
- 11:15-19. Now, there's others, but these are the three I'm looking at.
That his worship in the negative has started already, and is on its way
to the positive is found in Psalms 136, but will never reach the
crescendo of perfect adoration until it is in the Millennium. Even
starting up there at the Marriage Supper. Starts with glorification.

		(1)	O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: (and) his mercy 					
(endures) for ever.

		(2) 	O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy (endures) for
ever.

		(3) 	O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy (endures) for
ever.

		(4)	(O give thanks unto God) To him who alone doeth great wonders: 			
		for his mercy (endures) for ever.

		(5) 	(O give thanks) To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his 	
				mercy (endures) for ever.

		(6) 	(O give thanks) To him that stretched out the earth above the
waters: 					for his mercy (endures) for ever.

		(7) 	(O give thanks) To him that made great lights: for his mercy
(endures) 					for ever:

		(8) 	(O give thanks to him who set) The sun to rule by day: for his
mercy 					(endures for ever: (and ever.)

		(9) 	(Give thanks to him who set) The moon and (the) stars to rule by 
					night: for his mercy (endures) for ever, (and ever)

		(10) 	(Give thanks) To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: his
mercy 					(endures) for ever: (and ever.)

	And so on down the line, these people are giving thanks. And you'll
know that in here they are worshipping and adoring Almighty God. And
verse 26 concludes:

		(26)	 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy (endures)
for 						ever (and ever.)

9.	Now, as Paul the apostle said, "We know in part, and we understand in
part, we see in part. But there is a time coming that we're not going to
have this in part." [1 Cor 13:9-10]

	So, I submit to you, that there is an hour on this earth when the
perfect revelation comes, that we swing into a spiritually motivated
worship which we have not had from literally time immemorial. And we are
now ushering into, and shall be ushered into that which we have found
the negative going more and more to the positive, until shortly around
the corner. We are going to be transported up on the glorious Rapture;
and there in glorified form, for a glorified Christ where God
incarnated, we are going to worship as we have never worshipped before.
And that worship will be just as truly motivated. It's going to be a
perfect worship, as It's set forth in the Scripture here, and it's
already started on earth.   

10.	Now, the first fully matured and perfected positive worship is a
scene we're going to look at in Revelation 4:1-11. [omit] 

		(1) 	After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven:
(now, 					this one here represents the whole church, and he is in the
Rapture) 					and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a
trumpet talking 					with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will
(show) thee things 					which must be hereafter.

	Now, this is what's going to come. This is what's going to…actually
be transported down to earth which we can show you later.

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

		(3) 	And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine
stone: 						and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight
like unto 						an emerald.

		(4) 	And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon 	
				the seats I saw four (those are really thrones, not seats, they're
thrones) 					and upon the (thrones) I saw four and twenty elders
sitting, clothed in 					white raiment; and they had on their heads
crowns of gold.

	Now, this has to be thrones, because that's what Jesus promised.

		(5) 	And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and 		
			voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne,
					which are the seven Spirits of God.

		(6) 	And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal:
and 					in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were
four beasts 					full of eyes before and behind.

		(7) 	…the first like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a
face as 						a man, the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

		(8) 	And the four beasts (are living creatures) each of them six wings
about 					him; they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and
night, 						saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and
is, 					and is to come.

		(9) 	And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him
that 					sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

		(10) 	The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the
throne, 					and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast
their crowns 					before the throne, saying,

		(11) 	Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:
for 					thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and
were 						created.

11.	Now, we have positively have no doubt that this is the Lord God
Almighty on His Throne which we are looking at. And it coincides
perfectly over here in the Book of Isaiah 6:1-3.

		(1) 	In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting
upon 					a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

		(2)  	(And) above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with
						twain he covered his face, with twain he covered his feet, with 		
			twain he did fly.

		(3) 	And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the
LORD 					of hosts: (and) the whole earth is full of his glory.

		(4) 	And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried,
and 					the house was filled with smoke.

	This is the same scene as it were, although the picture is just a
little bit different, because remember, we are going more and more from
the negative to the positive. So, more and more of the Word of God is
being fulfilled, and start looking back in Isaiah's day he saw a partial
fulfillment, but here he sees a great fulfillment at this particular
time. 

	Now, so this is the King. This is God Himself as he said, "I was caught
up as one sat upon a throne, and what he was to look like, and these are
the seven spirits of God." And It says, "The four beasts were crying
Lord God Almighty, which was and is, and is to come." [Rev 4:8] And they
were giving glory to Him that sat on the throne. This is the worship of
Almighty God, it cannot be denied. Secondly, let us see exactly who is
involved in the worship of God, which worship is acceptable unto Him,
for He is evidently receiving it. Now, this must be instituted and
approved by God, for all things are from Him, and for Him, and to Him,
and He is receiving it. 

12.	All right, Revelation 4:6-8.

		(6) 	…before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: 
					and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, four 		
			beasts full of eyes before and behind.

		(7)	…(one) like a lion, second a calf, third face as a man, the
fourth 						beast a flying eagle.

	And he talks about their wings, and then he said, they were crying:

 		(8)	…Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and 		
			(which) is to come.

	Now, these are the four living creatures. And these are the same four
living creatures that Isaiah saw, and especially Ezekiel saw. And in
Ezekiel 1:1-14, and  23-28. 

	And there again he saw him high and lifted up, and he saw this cherubim
chariot of Almighty God with one that appeared like a man signifying the
Son of man coming. Now, these living creatures Bro. Branham said, in
'The Twenty Elders' (page 613) that they represent the living church
which is living in the power and the Resurrection of Christ.

	You will notice that the church is never ever free from God. It is not
as though God said, "now I have resurrected you, you are a fine people,
I simple turn you lose." He never said that, and He never will. God is
always the Head of the Church. He's always the Head of His people. He is
utterly sovereign. And so we see here, this great scene in heaven. And
He is enthroned, God Almighty above this cherubim chariot. And the
people in front are those who are living in the power and the
Resurrection of Jesus Christ. These are the ones that literally are in
the First Resurrection we are dealing with.

13.	Now, secondly: [Revelation] 4:4.

		(4) 	And round about the throne(s) four and twenty (thrones): and upon
					the (thrones) I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed (with) 
					white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

	Now, the four living creatures represent that living Bride. But you'll
notice in here, here are twenty four that are living Bride, this is
redeemed mankind. Because, the four and twenty elders are human beings.
They are seated on thrones, and they are wearing crowns, and they are
according to Bro. Branham the twelve patriarchs and the twelve apostles.
(page 634) And the fact that they are there proves that this is after
the First Resurrection, when they were all in and gathered unto Almighty
God. The thirteenth thing to notice is that when this worship takes
place, and that is in verse 5.

		(5) 	And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and 		
			voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne,
					which are the seven Spirits of God.

14.	Now, you will notice in here, (on page 622-23) that when Daniel saw
the thrones cast down, those thrones Bro. Branham said, "came down from
heaven." But now at this point the same thrones are filled, which
signifies there is a judgment going on, which judgment Daniel looked
forward to, but in this scene has already taken place. So therefore,
this scene is upon earth. It is a Judgment Seat. It is not a throne of
grace, because, that is gone, it is over. It is a Judgment Seat, and
only the Redeemed can stand there, as it says in Psalms 130:3, "If Thou
Lord, should judge iniquity, who can stand."

	Now remember, the Bride does not have any iniquity in her. She is pure
within and without. She is all glorious within and without. She is the
pure unadulterated spotless virgin Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ that
was trapped into a situation. And all the sin is fallen back on the
devil. 

	Now, at this Judgment Seat you will notice that the prophet said, "Out
of the throne proceeded lightening's and thundering's and voices." So
therefore, this is God enthroned as Judge at this particular time. And
here is the redeemed church in the presence of Revelation 4:4. They're
in the Presence of Him. There they stand, but, as they stand there is a
Mount Sinai (because this is the Judgment Seat) and the Judgment Seat is
sending forth lightening's and thundering's as it was upon Mount Sinai.

15.	Now, we go over to 2 Corinthians 3:7-8, and see who they are who are
living under that particular problem, or that particular law which
condemns them. 

		(7)	 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones,
						was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly 
					behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which 		
			glory was to be done away:

		(8) 	How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 
					(Or utterly disproportion to it?)

		(9) 	For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth 
					the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

	Now, you'll notice it's a judgment seat of Mount Sinai, and it's
absolutely glorious. No man can stand back and say, "this is inferior."
No man can say that God has demeaned Himself, that God has taken an
unfair advantage. That God has done something which is entirely ungod
like. There is no way he can say it, because this is a just God, and
there is no one that can stand the white-light of His scrutiny when they
stand before this Judgment Seat. And It utterly condemns. See? When man
sees himself unveiled before God, there is no way that he can escape the
wrath of God and the righteous judgment of God; and in the Bride if God
should mark iniquity, even she could not stand. See?

16.	Now remember, Bro. Branham came on the scene and he told us that
this ring made a beard of angels, a cloud made a beard of that Great One
that was seen in the center and that was the Judge; not in a glorified
form at that particular moment.

	In other words, the Judge was here. And you will notice the Judge was
here, because Hebrews 3:12 came alive as He discerned, or literally
judged the thoughts and intents of men, and no one was able to hide.

	And now as Bro. Branham stood there, he would say, "You were in
adultery last night," as he said of this fellow who used to work with
him from Canada. This great preacher. Oh yeah. He said, "Listen," he
said, "shame on you." He said, "You're married to your wife, but you
slept with a blond last night."

	And he said, "Branham, you mind your business concerning me, and I'll
mind my own business too."

	Now, the man could not deny that he was in adultery. No man can deny in
the face of God in a prophet what went on in this generation. And these
things are going to brought before a throne.

17.	Now, you say, "Bro. Vayle what about that man, if he doesn't repent
and get full of the Holy Ghost, he's going to be standing there in
condemnation, because we saw God's glory." See? "And where angels fear
to tread, fools with hob-nailed boots rush in." And then call themselves
'born again'. There's no way.

	Now, It says, "This judgment is thundering forth there." [Isa 29:6] And
it was pure glory, simple glory all the way, but it condemned, because
it was a law that God put before men. But, on Calvary a Life was given
to men. And that Life being a Seed would bring forth from the negative
to the positive, and here's the Bride standing in the image of Jesus
Christ a hundred percent perfect.

	Now, look at this Bride: [2 Corinthians 3:]

		(16) 	Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be
taken 						away. (What? The mind, the mind and heart.)

		(17) 	Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord
is, 						(there's) liberty.

		(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,
even 						as by the Spirit of the Lord.

18.	Now, that tells you absolutely the truth. As man looked at himself
reflected from God, it was death. But, when God in grace reflected
Himself to man, and man stood there as the prophet stood there in the
Pillar of Fire, and that Light came from God to the prophet, the prophet
became a Light to us, to take us to the True Light. And when the Seed
inside began to respond, that Life began to reflect back to Him, exactly
what he said, and they stood there in faith. "And Abraham believed God,
it was counted to him for righteousness." [Rom 4:3] "Blessed is the man
whom the Lord will not impute sin." [Rom 4:8]  Doesn't say he doesn't do
it. But, he stands there justified in the grace of Almighty God, and
unto him that believeth apart from works. There's your grace. 

	We're going to take that tape and play it in here. The Grace Message of
Abraham and covenant. You get a new…complete new light and sidelight
on it, as we'll hear it. Because you understand these things more and
more.

19.	Now here, here is this great Judgment Seat, and the Bride is not
even called into a judgment. She shall not come into the judgment. There
is no was she will be, because she has changed from death unto Life. In
other words, she does not come under a ministration of anything which
lies within the human, or anything within a law of God. But, within God
Himself, because God is not a law! He gives laws, but God is not a law!!
Let's get that flat his morning people in this church! [Bro. Vayle raps
hard on the pulpit] Or, let's get out of here, close the doors and burn
the stinking building down. That's it …?... no legalist here, if you
are, get out and get out now. We'll rid ourselves of such nonsense.
We'll rid ourselves. Legalism has no place here whatsoever. It's Christ,
He is a Life!

	Now, let's go ahead and look at the Scripture, or somebody might
challenge me and say, "Bro. Vayle, what about over here in Romans.

20.	Okay, let's go to Romans 8:1.

		(1) 	There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in 					
Christ Jesus…

		(2) 	For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus…

	Now, It doesn't say there's a law of the spirit of life. There's a law
which tells you the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. It's the Life in
Christ Jesus as God has said here as His eternal law against those laws
out there.

	In other words, he's telling you, do you want a law? Do you want a law?
You want something to measure up to? I'll give you law, that's the Life
in Christ Jesus. If you've got It, you're alive. If you haven't, you're
dead. That's a principle. The law never made anybody alive. Christ made
him alive.

	Paul can't turn around and say one breath, "there is no law of Moses,
there is no law pure that gives life." And then turn around and say,
"here's a law here." What he's trying to show you, God Almighty laid
this out before man and said this: "There is a judgment, (there's
something coming here and we know it's coming,) and God is going to
judge the world by One Christ Jesus, and He is that Word." How is He
going to do it? If you got Him, you're born again. If you haven't,
you're lost. You're gone entirely. So, here's what is laid down before
us: the Bride stands there. 

21.	Now listen: this scene here that is before our eyes that John saw
that we were coming rapidly into from negative to the positive, the seed
that God sowed, (and this seed was sown way, way, way back in eternity,)
then came down to earth, this is going to come into living reality. And
we're a part of it. Why? Because we're a part of the negative, which
simply means 'a seed'. A film that is being developed and coming into
pertinent situation and manifestation.

	It is taken from Matthew 3:12.

		(12) 	Whose fan is in his hand, (he'll) throughly purge his floor, and
						gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff
with 						unquenchable fire.

	Now, he tells you what He's doing. Now notice, the fan is in His hand.
What is that fan? That fan brings a wind, a breeze is what it does.

	Now, in Acts 3, It tells you there will be a fan breeze is going to
blow across the world. See? That which can be seen of God, a healing
revival. As Bro. Branham said, "Christ currying favor," or trying to get
favor with the people to attract their attention. And then suddenly
comes on the scene the spirit of Elijah moving the spirit of Moses,
Christ, Samuel, those four in there making more than a perfect
vindication, which means 'an escape' for you and me, in the form of a
message which is going to separate the people. God Himself separating by
His Own Word. That fan started with a mighty ministry that appeared down
there at the river. Christ Himself coming down separating the people.

	Now, and this goes on from to Revelation 22:10, and notice where It
starts, and It says: 

		(10) 	And he (said) unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of 	
				this book: for the time is at hand.

	He said, "When the Book becomes unsealed, and therefore cannot be
resealed. Why? Because, there's nothing in the Word that says it! 

	He took the Book from the man in the temple. He took the Book and
opened in Isaiah, and He read where it was said, "The Spirit of the Lord
is upon me..." And He read It right to the place,  "…the acceptable
year of the Lord."  [Isa 61:1-2] And He closed the Book.

	And there's no place that says He opened and closed, no way shape and
form. What He did at the end time, He opened the Book. And It says right
here, when that Book is open you can't close It. No way.

22.	Now, the question arises, is the Book opened? If the Seventh Seal is
not opened, then the Book is still shut. Then William Branham boo-booded
somewhere. He didn't tell us what we should know. Now, as far as I know
there's no way the Book cannot be opened, because he said it's opened.

	"Seal not the sayings…for the time is at hand." [Rev 22:10] And what
time is that? "He that is unjust, is unjust still: filthy, filthy still:
righteous, righteous still: holy, holy still, and it's time to give
rewards." [Rev 22:12-13] It's time to bring in those that are standing
here, to make them immortal. It's time for everyone of these things.
See? 

	And, you'll notice they're separated. Absolutely separated, so
therefore, this scene could not even begin to accelerate from the
negative to the positive until the Seals were opened. And the
vindication that we have in our hour proves that the Judge did come
down. And in the mouth of the prophet he said, "Little Bride, you didn't
even it at all, you're the perfect virtuous Bride of the Lord Jesus
Christ."

	Now,  brother/sister, that's a Word of a Judge. And was proven that
Bro. Branham could judge. There wasn't one person, five thousand, or
fifty thousand, or five million stand there. There wasn't one come
before him that he couldn't discern, and say, "Look it, you were living
in sin last night." You did so and so, or you are such and such. There
wasn't one.

23.	Now, let me tell you something: Bro. Branham came to the
Pentecostal's, I think the UPC, Independent Oneness, the whole bunch, he
stood in the platform that night and he turned around and there was a
big-shot in sin. Yes, a big preacher in sin. And he let the man know
that he knew that he was in sin. And the preacher's walked off the
platform in protest. Let them try that on Judgment Day. Let them try it
on Judgment Day. They showed what they were. They showed what they were.
Yep! That lets you and me know what's going on today.

	Listen, "they have made lies their refuge," [Isa 28:15] Yes sir. God
said, "I'm going to come down, I'm going to sweep those lies away." 

	Oh yeah, Assemblies of God pulled the same thing. A fellow over here in
Fort Wayne, he won't mind me using his name, his name is Peno,(?)
because this is public. Paul doesn't care if I say it. No, a woman
trapped him into adultery. Of course he was anxious don't worry. I don't
think he'd deny that. But, the funny thing is, he had a beautiful
wonderful wife, and she looked like a piece of dog meat. So much for
that. Men are idiots. Don't need to be, but they are. When the whole
thing came out, he confessed his sin to Almighty God, got everything
right.

	The people said, "well, we know him; a man that's made right is a
better bet than a man that we don't know might still go haywire, and we
know this one won't. We want him." 

	And the big-shot leader  wanted the church for what buddy of his, so he
came in and he said, "Now, (he said) what we'll do brother Paul, is ship
you to Texas. When did geography make a difference? That's your
Assemblies of God. 

24.	What about the Nazarene's? Well, I got a good friend Bro. Baker,
he's over here in Franklin, Indiana, and he tells me when he was a
Nazarene church, there was a district superintendent who knew that a
young couple were having trouble in their marriage with personal
problems. And he being sensitive to the powers of hell, because let's
face it, Bro. Branham saw the Nazarene church making love to a corpse,
so you can see what he would do to a sweet girl, if they can make love
to a corpse. I hit hard and I intend to. And we're not pulling any
punches. All right, he gets in there and pretty soon he's having affairs
with her day and night. And a man comes by and smells a rat, he said,
"Hold it," (an evangelist) he said, "something stinks in this place with
this man and this woman." He got to the bottom and exposed the whole
thing.

	What did the church do? "Oh," they said, "he's one of our best men,
we'll just send him elsewhere." Cover up sin. Not in the day of
judgment.

	How can a church that is full of sin and the champion of sin have
anything to do with God. Now, I'm not saying this church and I and you
are free of anything. But, we better have something more than they've
got. Denominations shall not cover the multitudes of sin. They just
cover up the multitudes of sin. We've gone beyond that. We need the
complete divorcement  thereof.

25.	Now, It says in here: at the time of the opening of the Seals, this
is when He is here with the fan in His hand the Great Harvester, and He
is discerning between the two spirits. Because the two spirits are so
close at the end of time it takes a Word test, and He is the Word, and
It's manifested that He is. So we're going from the negative to the
positive very, very rapidly.

	Now, I want to make a point here so let's listen carefully. We want to
watch the scene, the four living creatures are leading in this worship
service, and they are "crying holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which
was, and is, and is to come." [Rev 4:8] 

	In other words, at this great scene where lightening's and thunders are
coming forth, this great scene of worship: "where every knee must bow
and every tongue confess that He is Christ to the glory of Almighty
God." [Phil 2:10-11] They are standing right there; and in the face of
every judgment, they are saying, holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.
Yes sir.

	Every knee is bowing, every tongue confessing, this is Elohim the One
Who becomes Hebrews 13:8, "the same yesterday, today and forever." Now,
try to visualize this great scene with the vindicated God on the Throne.
Yes, He's vindicated, absolutely, His vindicated started under the
prophet William Branham and it's going on a pace.

26.	There's thing right now that people say, "Well, I just don't know if
that's going to come to pass." You better believe it will come to pass.
Just in front of Him are the four creatures, and they are crying out,
"worship, holy, holy, holy," is the unchanging, but ever revealing God.

	Then notice over here in [Revelation] 4:9, "and when those beasts give
glory and honor  to him that sat upon the throne, who liveth forever and
ever." You see, it's a worship service. They are full of praise and
adoration that is led by the creatures, and instantly when they cease
the elders begin to respond in another worship service, in verse 10,
"for the four and twenty elders fall down before Him."  And they say,
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou
hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were
created." [verse 11]

27.	Now, these elders are so thankful and full of praise they fall down
before Him and cast down their crowns. What does that mean? It means
that they ain't got nothing, but they've got from God. Why should you
cast anything down before God, if God didn't do it for you? Why should
you cast anything down before God, if even God gave it to you, and you
did it for Him? Picture of sovereign grace right here, and sovereign
mercy. They're giving Him glory. And notice what they're doing; giving
Him glory. And they say, "For Thou hast created all things, and for Thy
pleasure they are and were created."[Rev 4:11]

	Now, we want to be careful here, because in this verse lies the reason,
the tenor, the very theme, the very motivation, or rivers of inspiration
for that worship service of pouring their souls out before God. What is
it that inspires them to that great anthem? It is the recognized and
enjoyed sovereignty of God. It is the recognized sovereignty, because
they cast their throne's down, they jump off their throne's, bow down,
throw their crowns down, and they say, "We were created by You. We are
one of the all things that You created for Thy pleasure we are and were
created," the same as everything else. They understand sovereignty, the
inspiration of this worship. 

 	The theme of this outpouring of praise is that God is God in all of
His Godhood. And listen, down here on earth we talk about, down here on
earth we recognize, but, it's in a film, or a negative. Up there 
brother/sister, when we are made in His image and we are transformed we
can praise Him for His sovereignty as never before. But notice, it
starts down here after the dust of the ages is settled, and man is
redeemed back to God entirely. Believe it or not, the first recorded
thundering worship service of praise and glory to God has for its theme
the sovereignty of a sovereign God.

28.	Now look, everybody likes the Book of Ephesians, even the legalists.
He doesn't understand It, but, he knows there's something there that's
real. Let's go and take a look at It.  

	Okay, [Ephesians 1:] 

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

		(4) 	According (now listen, it's according) as he hath chosen us in
him 						before the foundation of the world… 

	Where did we come from? "Why," you say, "I came from God."

	The legalist said, "Oh, come on, don't give me that junk. I never came
from God, except by the fact that God made it. There's nothing but a law
here. There's nothing but a principle."

	That man's a liar. I see Fatherhood. How can there be a fatherhood
unless he's a father? I don't care what child is, if that child's
adopted and even looks like the man who adopted him, that man is still
not his father! No way can you sell me that hogwash. 

29.	All right listen:

		(4) 	According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of
the 					world that we should be holy and without blame before him…

	That's what He chose us for. Then is it some irreligious feeling that
creeps upon us, then when the prophet screams out, he said, "I'm telling
you by divine authority that you are the spotless Bride before God; and
that love is here, and in the presence of love you are spotless and
pure."

	 And men stand back and say, "Well, I wish it were so, but you see, I
happen to know."

	What do you know? I know that you're a jackass. I'm sorry, but that's
the truth. The prophet branded it: "He doesn't know his pappy, he
doesn't know his mammy." Let's get it straight. 

	You say, "Bro. Vayle…"

	Don't Bro. Vayle me, go to a prophet. Get mad at William Branham, don't
get mad at me. Get mad at God. Pull Him down and take a big stick and
hit Him over the head. I got news for you, He's already here. Try and
puncture His veins once more. He doesn't have veins, He's Spirit, but
He'll puncture yours.

	Bro. Branham said, "I dare not try to put Him away, but He can put me
away."

	But, men stand up and say, "Oh, I can put Him away. I can do so and
so."

30.	Somebody's wrong. Somebody doesn't understand sovereignty. I can
tell you they don't.

		(4)	…before him in love:

		(5) 	(In love) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children
by 						Jesus Christ himself, according to the good pleasure of his
will,   

		(6) 	To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us 
					accepted in the beloved.

		(7) 	In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness 			
		of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

		(8) 	Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

		(9) 	Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to 	
				his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:  

		(10) 	That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather
						together in one all things in Christ, (there they are) [pointing
to 						both pictures on the wall] both which are in heaven, and which 
					are on earth; even in him: 

		(11) 	In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being
predestinated 					according to the purpose of him who worketh all
things after the 						counsel of his own will:

		(12) 	That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first (hoped)
in 						Christ. (And he said, the baptism proves it.)

	They're yellow. You tell me one thing that you did, except receive it.
And Paul said, "If you received it, why do you have to as though you got
it on your own?" Paul said to them concerning the Word, " Did the Word
of God come to you, or did It come out of you?" [1 Cor 14:36] Then   
why do you act as though you're smart and you're going to interpret It?
Why do people rise up against a prophet today?

	And say, "Aw, we'll that's alright, he wasn't vindicated?"

	You wait and see. They'll turn to some Pentecostal, supposed to bring
restoration through Israel. Restoration comes exactly the way it's come,
it's already been restored. "That which is perfect has come." [1 Cor
13:10] The whole thing is in motion. They don't know that Luther set it
in motion. And people don't know right today that the Rapture started
with Luther. That's right!

	Everything started back there was lying dormant, was going down and a
prophet came on the scene and threw the life right into it. Now we're on
our way. Not march to Zion, we're marching Zion. How many like that? I
do! Just doesn't bother me, if nobody's likes it. I got my own thinking.

31.	All right, here it is: the sovereignty of God. Okay, and don't
forget that the major revelation of this hour is: "that there is one God
and He's a sovereign God. His Name is Lord Jesus Christ, and you baptize
in that Name." The Seals were opened. What did It show? It was God all
along. It was Christ. It was that Anointed One.

	And here, He is the Covenant God of Ephesians 1:13-14. The One that
baptizes with the Holy Ghost coming down in verses 15,16,17, revealing
Himself in order to perform a Resurrection. Why? Because, He's going to
gather together all things in Christ which are in heaven and on earth,
and the first half of the Resurrection has taken the first half of Bride
up there. That's right. Then He's going to change the living. That's
what the Shout is, for the living. The Shout has always been for the
living.

	Who do you think Luther preached to? The living. Who did Wesley preach
to? The living. Who did Pentecost preach to? The living. Who did William
Branham preach to? The living. Who's going to raise the dead, that
though He were dead, yet shall He live? Because the Holy Ghost struck
those mortal bodies, transfused every cell, every molecule, every atom.
Certainly. Every negative, and positive part down to the infinite. Even
though be reduced to gases, He's going to bring us back.

32.	Now, I'm entirely aware that this understand I have here of this
Scripture is like a lead balloon, a wet blanket to this legalistic age.
An anticlimax to all of us, but those who believe the prophet.
Certainly. And that prophet divines the sovereignty of Almighty God. The
foreknowledge, the election, the predestination that God knew every
flea, and how many times he'd bat his eyeballs.

	"Oh," you say, "that's facetious." That's exactly true. Not facetious,
but the statement. You say, "how did God know?"  People don't want to
believe in the computerized mind of God, which is greater than the
computer. They don't want to believe that God understands sperm count,
the female ova. Oh, they come to trillions and trillions, and trillions,
and trillions, and trillions, and trillions, and trillions through the
ages. 

	I don't know, I can't believe this, but one book says the sperm of a
male will go four million miles into space. I don't know how I believe
that, when fifteen thousand go across the cross section of one hair.
Maybe he meant the whole human race. I don't know what he meant.

	But, I want to tell you one thing: the computer mind of God knew every
sperm through every generation to bring it right down, where you've got
your people today. Yes you! You, in the sense, seed in the infinitesimal
seed-form that could not be seen, there was a life lying there. Enable
to match to the very egg that lay in a woman, so the couple reprobates
could bring forth a child of God. and two children of God could bring
forth a reprobate. It's an election. Oh, people don't want to believe
that do they? Well, that's their tough luck. To the legalist there is no
joy and awesome praise in this thesis, but never mind him, he's a
legalist. Let us mind the Word of God. Paul was not a legalist,

33.	Now, the showdown of the end-time of believing Word of God against
antichrist word, here it is: 2 Thessalonians 2:13.

		(13) 	But we are bound to give thanks always(s) to God for you,
brethren 					beloved of the Lord, because God hath chosen from the
beginning 						chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the
(truth) and belief 					of the (Spirit):

		(14) 	Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the
glory 					of Jesus Christ.

	Every true Seed will respond to the Word of the hour. and the true Seed
will not believe 'the lie', because the 'the lie' is going to condemn.
Everybody says oh it's okay, the Blood of Jesus Christ covers. It
doesn't if you're outside the light and believe the antichrist lie.

	Right today, people are screaming all around the world, "Oh, the Roman
church is not the antichrist, it is the communists." Hogwash! They don't
even have religion anymore. It's the combine of the Catholic and the
Protestant. And let's get this flat: without cussing the Catholic out,
let's go and put the blame where it belongs on the Protestants, he build
the image to the Catholic. He built the Catholic where he is. Let's not
fuss with the Catholics, let's fuss with the Protestants. Then will be
judged, because when God would have made a Roman Catholic church aware,
the stinking Protestant's, the whorish daughters came in and blinded the
Catholic's eyes. Let's put the fussing to where it belongs.

 	Bro. Branham said, "You people in America voted a Catholic president,
but you sent missionaries down below to bring them out of Catholicism.
What kind of nonsense is that? Showing they're the bunch of hybrid
jackasses, don't know the Word of God or anything else. Not in the
election, they're in the foreordination, it was written about them, they
do these things. I'm not trying to cuss anybody. I'm just telling you
the truth.  Maybe take my head for it. Well, if I have enough to give my
head for, it's going to be a very worthy cause.

34.	Now, the question arises, where do you get that sovereignty? It's at
the heart of restored worship, just because it mentions that God is the
creator. Well, that's very, very simple.

	Let's go to Revelation 4:11, the last part. We read It already. Anybody
can understand this. It says:

		(11) 	…for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they
are and 						were created.

	In other words, God didn't take counsel with anybody. He did this all
for Himself. Well, if that's not sovereign you ask Him. How many
husbands come home and don't tell their wives anything? Well, they're
acting sovereign. Wife  doesn't count. Now, a good husband will make the
wife count, because anything he does in his sovereign ability will be
for her. So therefore, God is sovereign at His pleasure, at His
discretion for Him.

35.	Let's read It in Romans 11:33.

		(33) 	O the depth (and) riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of 			
		God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past 					
finding out!

		(34) 	For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his 		
			counsellor?

		(35) 	Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed
again?

	"Shut up and sit down! I'll tell you what the answer is," says Paul.

		(36) 	For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom
						be glory… (and if you don't like it, drop dead.)

	"Who are you O man to reply against God?" That's right, believe it, or
pay the price. Sovereignty, that's exactly what it is.

36.	Over here to Romans 8:28-34.  Let's go back and look at It.

		(28) 	And we know that all things work together for good to them that 
					love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

	Now notice, It said that God loved us. It was in love that God was
sovereign to us, predestinated. Now, It says that we love God. That
understanding sovereignty it gives great joy. It's the principle of joy
to the elected. 

	The other guys say, "Well, I don't believe it."

	"Well," he said, "look here, I'll look around and there…I believe in
a God like that, I just backslide, because you see, I love my neighbor."

	So, you love your neighbor, that's wonderful, lovely. What if God
doesn't? [laughter] Are you supposed to tell God what He's supposed to
do?

37.	Some men came to my room the other day. They told me I should
ride-herd on Bob Brown and Terry Sproule and everybody else. I said,
"Just a minute, I don't even hear their tapes."

	"Well, they believe what you do."

	I said, "How do I know?"

	"Oh, they're supposed to say what you say."

	"I don't know that either." But I said, "I'll tell you one thing: you
are coming here to tell me    I cannot do what I want to do. I can do
what I want to do, and no man can tell me what I'm going to do." I said,
"Neither will I tell you what to do."

	But if you tell me you want a whore, I'll buy one for you, or I'll help
you to get what you want. Oh yes.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle watch it."

	"I watch everything kid, you watch it." I said, "Nice guys, you want to
get drunk, I'll buy you the booze if that's what you want, because I
intend to see you get what you want."

	I said to the other guy, "Do you want to write a book about me and
against me? I'll give you the first one thousand dollars." I said, "In
the mean time, don't you ever tell me what to do. Don't you ever tell
me." I said, "Get this flat: I don't even respect God half as much as I
should if I respect Him at all. Do you think I'll respect you?"

	I talk to preachers. I talk to you the same way, you understand me.
That's right. Don't fool with God.

38.	One day, men tried to get in Moses' way. He took every brunt of
every cotton-picken, lousy little  nit-pickin thing against him. But one
day they stood up and they said, "Listen Moses, you take too much upon
you. You weren't sent here by God. We got rights too."

	And he said, "God, if those men die the common death, You never sent
me." He said, "Look boys, you do what you want to do. And I'm going to
do what I'm going to do."

	And as Bro. Branham said, "I always do what I want to do, I do what He
wants me to do."

	And those men told me to ride-herd. I am not a pope, and I am not
Nicolaitane. I don't care what Bob Brown does, Bill Smith does, Jack
Bell does, anybody does, I've proved it to you, I don't care two-bits.
That's right, when it comes to the final analyses. I may get hurt, I may
get knocked around, but the final analyses, they stand on their feet, I
stand on my feet. and I don't control anybody.

39.	Let me tell you this: if God has so little control of me, I'd be the
stupidest most ungainly, uncomely, idiotic ass the world's ever seen to
try to control somebody else. Now, you put that down to what you want,
that's popery. I didn't fall for it.  

	[Romans 8:]

		(28) 	…all things work together for good to them that love God, (He
loved 					us, we love Him.) to them (or) the called according to his
purpose.

		(29) 	For whom he did foreknow, (and this is His purpose now, and He
did 					foreknew predestinated) to be conformed to the image of his
Son, that 					he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

		(30) 	Moreover whom he (predestinated), he called: whom he called, he 
					justified: and whom he justified, them he glorified. (They are
already 					glorified, that whole bunch is up there.)

		(31) 	What shall we then say to these things? …

	Throw your hands up, say, looks like God's in control. Looks like God
wants to do what He wants to do. Looks like I don't have a say in it.
Looks like I'm standing here and He does …?... … hit right on the
head. Now, you're getting smart. Where did you get your smart pills? 

40.	Now, let's get right down where it is. Listen to this God:

		(31) 	What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who
can be 					against us?

		(32) 	He that spared not his own Son, (He paid a price. He paid a
price 						to have His sovereign will executed, and you and I will pay
a price 						too.) He spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for
us all, how 					shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

		(33) 	Who (dares) lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?... (Who
dares 					arraign me in court?)

	God has already said there's no case, I'm sorry. A lot of people think
a judge stands there and takes every case under high heaven. He doesn't!
He's only got a case if there's a law, and the person fits it. Now, how
can you say to a person this guys a sinner? When God's says, he's
righteous. How are you going to do it? See?

41.	God has declared: I am righteous. Who is he that condemns me to
death, when Christ died and is risen and is interceding, how can He
condemn me? The very purpose He died for to get me out of sin and to
keep me from hell. And now you say, "Now Lord, lay down Your purpose,
hallelujah, because you see I'm a wonderful guy." You stink! The pride
and arrogance of hell as is revealed in Satan exalting himself above a
kingdom. This is a Kingdom of God!! [raps hard on the pulpit] That's
right! 

	The glorified get into it having been Seed from the foreknowledge of
God in the beginning; and then men say, "Look it, I got something to do
with the seed." I've got news, you're insane. You're Laodicean insane
person, dressed in your own rotten self righteousness. Miserable,
begging and saying, "Oh, I'm wonderful, I got everything." And you don't
know you're wretched, miserable, naked, blind," [Rev 3:17] with a
counsel of God standing near: "I want to get back in fellowship. I want
to do something for you."

	But no, they can't even recognize Him. No way, shape and form. Yep!
Sure, just like a lead balloon to those who don't want it.

42.	The don't understand 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 as we have read. They
don't want Romans 8:28-34. They don't want Romans 9:8-24.  

		(8) 	That is, They which are the children of the flesh, (they're) not
the 						children of God: but the children of the promise are counted
for seed.

	Well, if you aren't in the promise, there's no way you're going to get
it.

		(9) 	For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and
Sarah 					shall have a son.

		(10) 	And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, 	
				even by our father Isaac;

		(11) 	(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any
good 						or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might
stand, 						not of works, but of him that calleth;)

		(12) 	…said, The elder shall serve the younger.

		(13) 	…it's written, Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated.

		(14) 	What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? 

	Is there a stacked deck of cards? Is God playing dirty poker or pool?
What do you know about God anyway? What do you know about God? Have you
ever seen Him? Ever talked to Him? Have you sat down and He divulged
something to you? Or, have you simple gone to a tea-cup and put the
leaves around, like some little medium? Or somebody in a séance, and
try to figure something out?

	Listen, the trumpet, and the shouting, the thundering, the earthquake
didn't reveal God. The still small voice of revelation did.  

43.	And here's the revelation:

		(15) 	For he (said) to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have 		
			mercy, and compassion (in) whom I will (compassionate.)

		(16) 	So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth,
but 						of God that sheweth mercy.

		(17) 	For the scripture saith (to) Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose
have 					I raised thee up, that I might (show) my power in thee, and
that my 					name might be declared throughout all the earth.

		(18) 	Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom 			
		he will he hardeneth.

		(19) 	Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who 
					hath resisted his will?

		(20) 	Nay but, O man, (shut up, why do you reply) against God? (You're
					not in a position to do so.)

	See, that's the thing, pull Him down out of heaven, beat Him stiff with
a club. Spit in His face. Call Him a liar. Be like that stupid guy that
followed Darwin, (what's his name now, that ran through the country, but
he wouldn't face good old Dowie,) and why he said, "Look," he said, "if
there's a God in heaven, let Him come down and strike me dead."

	And a man said, "That's like a peanut on the railway track (on the
Sante Fe Railway) if there be a Sante Fe steam engine let it come right
at this moment and crush me." You think the train would listen to the
peanut? [laughter] When the proper time came the peanut got crushed.
[laughter] I don't care what anybody says. Men cry against God. See?

44.	Why? He said:  

		(20) 	 Nay but, O man, who (are you reply) against God? Shall the
thing 						formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me
(this way)?

		(21) 	Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to
make 						one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? (See,
this is 						where election comes in.)

		(22) 	What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power 		
			known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted 		
		to destruction:

		(23) 	…that he might make known the riches of his glory on the
vessels 						of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

	Now, the man that doesn't believe this sovereignty, he will come out
and say, "But, you see here, it says right here, "the vessels fitted
themselves to wrath." 

	But the next verse It said, "God fitted the vessels to glory." Every
man was born unto wrath. Every man came into the world as sinners,
speaking lies and shaking his fist in God's face.

45.	All right. I hope we're seeing something here the sovereignty of
God. His foreknowledge, election, predestination; all of which are both
spiritual and natural. Bro. Branham brought that out in tape after tape.
There's a spiritual election, predestination; there is a natural. But,
you will notice that it's at the great junctures of time that God's
election stands out. He chose Noah. He chose Abraham. He chose Moses. He
chose John the Baptist. He chose Paul. He chose William Branham, and
each one foreknown. 

	Each one, like as in Jeremiah, and every single one of us, every member
of the Bride of Christ was foreknown before the foundation of the world.
And the choice was not as though I take this, leave this, take this,
leave that, it was already there and in the Books. And God simply
following through on His predestination. This doctrine is misunderstood
and hated. 

	Right now, no doctrine of the prophet is so shabbily treated worldwide
by those who claim to believe William Branham as the sovereignty of God.
Find me one so called, or self appointed leader that understands the
sovereignty of God? If they did, they'd step aside and let God be
sovereign. Why don't they do it? Why don't they do it?

	If those who seems somewhat amongst us really understood sovereignty,
God would get the preeminence and His revelation of Himself with
preeminence would put us back to the Garden, they're slowing us down 
brother/sister. They're slowing us down.

	Do you know, that when you reject the sovereignty of God, you are
slowing down the wheels of God. Let's hasten the day by believing.
Certainly, the end is in sight. How many more to come in if they've
already got to be born? The age of accountability is what, about twelve
years of age?

46.	Look it,  brother/sister, we're not looking down the road anymore,
we're looking what's here. We're living in the great eternal now, the
ushering in of the Millennium. I showed you that last night in Peter.
That's right. We are getting our last chance to get into the true spirit
of worship, before we come a part of Revelation 4. Do you know that?
That's true.

	Now, the prophet said, "That when he decreased, (that's the prophet
would decrease) that the great coming One was not a man and He would
increase. And that Great One was the Holy Spirit, because he said,
"There is no prophet, there is no pope, there is no holy one, there is
no ruler amongst us, the Holy One is the Holy Ghost He's amongst us."
Now, that He is Present, He is ignored. The sovereign God is here.
"Elohim before Sodom," the prophet said. Read it last night.

	Yet, men chose to ignore His sovereignty and what It means when the
Sovereign is here. It is not that they say He is not present, but, what
His Presence is all about (which is sovereignty) they cannot believe
that He is here to Rapture the Bride in Message, Voice and Rapture.

47.	Now, I ask, "Who ignored Jesus when He was here in flesh? Who denied
His sovereignty? as in John 1:  "He came to His own, and His own
received Him not." [Jn 1:11] But, did the denial of His Presence back
there annul  His Presence? In no way, but what did the denial do? It
annulled the promise of the hour which was the kingdom. So men today
deny the incontrovertible, and explain and express evidence of His
Presence, and the purpose of His visitation is scoffed at, and they will
miss the Rapture.

	That's right. They say that He is here as He always was to baptize with
the Holy Ghost. I say, that's running out, the prophet said so. I say
it's going down, and when it's all over, He takes over and takes us up,
because that's what the Bible said. Why don't they believe it? No, they
don't believe it. See? 

48.	Let's go on: Revelation 7:11-17. It's the second thing we want to
look at. 

		(11) 	(That's when) the angels stood round about the throne, and about
						(that) the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne
on 						their faces, and worshipped God, (now they're all falling
down.)

		(12) 	Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving,
					and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and
ever. 					Amen. (So let it be.)

 		(13) 	And one of the elders answered, (and he's) saying, What are
these 						(that) are arrayed in white robes? and whence (did they
come?)

		(14) 	And I said (I don't know.) And he said, (They) are they which
came out 					of great tribulation, have washed their robes, and made
them white 	in 					the blood of the Lamb.

		(15) 	Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day
and 					night in his temple: and he that (sits) on the throne shall
dwell among 					them.

		(16) 	They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither
shall the 					sun light on them, nor any heat.

		(17) 	For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed
them, and 					shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God
shall wipe away 					 all tears from their eyes.

	That's for the Bride right there. Know what he's saying. What are they
doing? They're worshipping God because of the robes. Now the question
is: where did they get them? Where did they get them, they got them
through the Blood. The Blood perfects. Now, did they shed their blood?
Did they do anything for it? The answer is no. They were predestinated.

	You see, the Blood was a part of God's predestinated time to get us
back, "where all things are of Him, and for Him, and to Him." [Rom
11:36] Now, what came of Him is for Him and it boo-booed, but it's going
to get back to Him. And the great thing is coming  brother/sister, and
the ball has started to roll. That's what people understand, we are in
the ushering in of the Millennium. 

49.	So, when Bro. Branham set the date as '77, we all got fooled. It was
already happening. The Shout did it. As soon as Bro. Branham left the
scene, the Word was in complete control of everything, that's it. "Thus
It has been spoken," three times, "Thus It shall be." There It is, all
laid out, the Word must come into manifestation.

	Now, here is what I see in this scene: it is as Revelation 4, but more
detailed. For with the original group is added a vast throng, and now
the beast as well as the elders are falling down before God giving
thanks. And the emphasis here is on 'white robes'. These are all in
white and dressed, and the dress is accepted as signifying the status of
the wearer.

50.	Let's go to Matthew 22:11-14.  							

		(11) 	And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man 
					which had not on a wedding garment:

		(12) 	And he (said), Friend, how (did you come in without) having a 		
			wedding garment? And (the man) was speechless.

		(13) 	(And) the king (said) to the servants…(to this nice fellow
that was 						sitting there, but didn't have a robe.)

	Now, let's look at the thing and understand it. Let's find out about
it. Why, he said a very unkind thing to this poor fellow sitting there.
Why, he said, get rid of him.

		(13)	Bind him hand and foot (that means, from now on there is no way 	
				he will get a robe and …?... he's bound hands and foot, you can't 
					even get a robe on him. He's finished! It's over, throw him out to)
						outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth.

		(14) 	For many are called, but few are chosen.

	The Word always goes out, but how many are chosen to receive It? How
many are chosen to get the Light? The only reason you're here this
morning believing, is because you're chosen. There's no other reason.
You say, "Well, I think I'm a pretty fine fellow." Well, I'd like to ask
you wife or husband. [laughter} They're as crazy as my wife, then she'll
say nice things about you. Of course she knows I might cut off her
allowance or something. [laughter] You know that's kidding.

51.	All right, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55.

		(51) 	Behold, I (show) you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, (we'll)
all 						be changed,

		(52) 	In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for
the 						trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and 					we shall (all) be changed.

		(53) 	For this corruptible must put on (incorruptibility), and this
mortal 						must put on immortality.

		(54) 	So when this (corruptiblility) shall have put on
(incorruptibility), and 					this mortal…immortality, then be brought
to pass the saying, Death is 					swallowed up in victory.

	Now, what is that? That word is 'vesture', and it has to do with an
'in-vesture'. And William Branham cried out with a sword in his hand,
"bring on your holy vesture," with the holy Word of God standing by, He
said, "The Sword of The King." The Word of God was a dress, and this is
an inner garment, and it's a vesture signifying a ceremony that is
setting people apart by reason of dress to be something. What is it?
Bride! Bride, the wise virgin cut out of the same cloth as the foolish
virgin, but in-vestured and clothed by the Word of God.

	You know  brother/sister, right today you don't understand, but you
know that your very atoms are building around the Word of God. So, when
the dead come out of the grave, a sweep can go over you, and you'll be
perfectly changed into His image.

	You say, "Is that going on?" Well, it better be going on, or what's the
use or what in the world's the Shout for? Because, that's supposed to do
something for us. That's supposed to put us in the Spirit.

 	Now, It says when this takes place, we cannot die. And sin is
completely gone forever, because we're crossing over to the other side
of Jordan which is symbolic of death; and he that is righteous is
righteous still when the Seal's open. When that One comes down and says,
"I declare you to be (through the mouth of my servant) the righteous,
blameless, sinless, Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ, perfectly
justified." That's what he said, that's what he meant, and that's what
he got. That's Revelation 22:10-14.

52.	Let's go to Revelation 3:4, and notice what It says over here.

		(4) 	Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their
						garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are
worthy.

	What is that? What little bit of Word they had, they clung to It. They
had It. They stayed    with It.

	Revelation 16:15. Let's us notice again what It says:

		(15) 	Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and
keepeth 						his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

	They didn't keep their garments. No way, the Life went out of the Word,
now it's going to happen the same way, and there'll be nobody left
except for judgment.

	Let's go to Revelation 3:17, this is to you and me.

		(17b) …knowest not (you're) wretched, and miserable, and poor, and
blind, 					and naked:

		(18) 	I counsel (you) to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that (you
may) 						be rich; (have) white raiment, (you may) be clothed, and (not
be 						naked in My Presence.)

	There you are  brother/sister, right down the line. Just like those in
Matthew 25, they had no oil, they had no Living Word. The Word they had
was dead. The Life had gone out of them, because they denominated and
changed It from the Word of God to a creed and a dogma.

	Remember, Bro. Branham's vision of the Bride marching, everyone for
every age was in the perfect dress of the hour, and in perfect
alignment. And in the Rapture coming, only those who are dressed
properly and in step with the Word were those who went up in the Rapture
according to the prophet. How thankful we are this day that the
prophet's vision saw us, and dressed for the Kingdom of Almighty God.
Dressed as a Bride, every single one.

	You know, it's a strange thing, but every time anybody comes to Christ
is designated individual as a male, but collectively as a female,
because there's only one head, that's a husband. So, the whole body
becomes a female which is a Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ.

53.	Now, let's go to Revelation 11:

		(15) 	And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great
(earthquakes) 					in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are
become the 						kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall
reign for ever 					and ever.

		(16) 	And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their
seats, 					fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

		(17) 	Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, 			
		and wast, and art to come; because (you've) taken to thee thy great 		
			power, and hast reigned. (In other words, He's setting everything 			
		in order where He is the single solitary power.)

		(18) 	And the nations were angry, (for) thy wrath is come, and the
time 						of the dead, they should be judged, thou shouldest give
reward thy 						servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that
fear thy name, 					small and great; and destroy them which destroy the
earth.

		(19) 	…the temple of God opened in heaven, there was seen in his
temple 					the ark of his testament: lightnings, and voices, and
thunderings, and 					earthquake, and great hail. (See, judgment is
hitting the earth.)

	God taking His power, incarnating Himself. We see this. We see this
great throne in heaven. And we see this great worship scene that comes
down to earth. People continuously worshipping God. What a worship
service. The title back in the hands of God, Jehovah God reigning
supreme, and the Supreme One here, absolutely proving His supremacy, His
power over the world, the flesh and the devil. His power over sin. 

54.	Listen to Bro. Branham's own testimony, over here that he tells all
about himself and that Great One that was present. He says: [Anointed
Ones at the End Time 07-25-65]

[118]   Now, I want you to know this…(you memorize, you'll know what's
in here the 				same as I do,) …this is sure. You that listen to this
tape, you might have thought				 today that I was trying to say that
about myself, seeing I was packing or 					preaching this Message. I
have no more to do with it than nothing, no more than 				just a voice.
And my voice, even against my better judgment... I wanted to be a 			
trapper. It is the will of my Father I declare to do, and determined to
do. I wasn't 				the One that appeared down on the river; I was only
standing there when He 				appeared. I'm not the One that performs these
things and foretells these things 				that happens as perfect as they
are; I'm only one that's near when He does it. I 				was only a voice
that He used to say it. It wasn't what I knew; it's what I just 			
surrendered myself to, that He spoke through. It isn't me. It wasn't the
seventh 				angel, oh, no; it was a manifestation of the Son of man. (In
Spirit form, see? Okay?) 			It's not a man; it's God.

[119] 	The messenger was not the Son of man; he was a messenger from the
Son of man. 				The Son of man is Christ. He's the One that you're
feeding on. You're not feeding 				on a man. A man, his words will fail,
but you're feeding on the unfailing Body-				Word of the Son of man. 

	Tells you that exactly, the body of the Lord Jesus Christ today is the
Word. Remember, Bro. Branham stood that and he said, "I'm not the One
Who does these things, He just uses my voice." He said, "I challenge you
bring me twenty five of your worse cases, I guarantee healing for all." 

	He stopped the tornado in Topeka, Kansas. He stopped the blizzard in
Colorado. He stopped the hurricane that was descending upon the coast of
Louisiana and Texas. He spoke squirrels into existence, absolutely, and
why not, you can find a pretty good picture of that in Revelation
19:6-16, I'll tell you. Bro. Branham called that Great One 'Elohim'.
Elohim before Sodom who came down and did the mighty works that only God
can do.

55.	Remember, he stood in Topeka, Kansas, a black man was in there and
he said, "Sir," he said, "your trouble is so and so."

	The man said, "exactly right."

	He said, "You're healed." And then he turned and he said, "You've been
a backslider, then he said, "now, your sins are forgiven, go and serve
God." And right away somebody rose up in their spirit and Bro. Branham
said, "I caught that," he said, "let me tell you this, the same One that
told me his diseases so perfectly and what was going to happen was the
same One that told me to tell him his sins are forgiven."

	Who can do that but God. The very thing they didn't like about Jesus
Christ happened again in our day to Gentiles, but they still hate it.

56.	Now listen, that great God which was, and is, and is to come, that's
Hebrews 13:8. That's Elohim, the Becoming One. More and more becoming
until it's all God, and it's going on now. It certainly is. It is
Ephesians 1:17-23. It is 1 Corinthians 15:20. In other words, He is
here. He's gathering the Church around Him. He is giving them a
revelation. He is preparing to raise the dead, and change us. And the
same One Who is here to raise the dead, is bringing the Church in
subjection. which means, into the proper order that God has ordained.
Jesus Christ died for the order of God, and now the order of God is
coming back. And people say, "who wants it? Who wants it? Who wants it?"

	Then go to your creeds and dogmas and get its order. I feel sorry for
you, but I invite you to do it, if that's what you want. By the grace of
God I want the other, and I hope there's a price to pay which will
simply be humility, I'll have the price to pay. It is 1 Thessalonians
4:13, "but the Lord Himself shall descend with a Shout, with the Voice
of the archangel, the Trump of God. And then the dead in Christ are
going to rise first."

57.	This is what I have read in Romans 11:33. Let's go back and read It
again, because I want you to see this and understand what is going on.
Because they broke this up into chapters, which is not the original Word
of God.

		(33) 	O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of
God! 					how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding
out!

		(34) 	For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his 		
			counsellor?

		(35) 	Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed
(again) 					unto him?

		(36) 	For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom
be 					glory for ever. Amen.

	[Romans 12:]

		(1) 	I beseech you therefore, brethren, (the 'therefore' comes from
what 						he said about the sovereign God) by the mercies of God, (you)
present 					your bodies a living sacrifice…(that's all you and I can
do, present 						ourselves.)

	There's the one thing that Bro. Branham says lies within the soul, and
that is choice. Do you choose to give your bodies to Christ? Do you
choose to give yourself over? If you do, shows you're of the election,
you understand, and you'll be there.

		(1)	…a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your 		
			reasonable (sacrifice.)

		(2) 	And be not conformed to this world: but be (you) transformed by
the 					renewing of your mind, that (you) may prove what is that good,
and 					acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

	I'm not worried about three stages here, and I care less. It's just
telling you right here in this Word, if you will give yourself over
knowing there is a sovereign God, you can depend on it, that God will
work out in you, what He said would work out in you. And you will know
His continuous and absolute will until you're perfectly glorified.

58.	The will that started you off a little germ within himself, that
same germ that came down through human instrumentality. That same One
that brought a body to, the same Holy Ghost now that brought you back to
Him. That same One says, "I'm glorifying you." I'm getting My will all
the way through, and some of the will didn't look too good. Sometimes it
looks insensible, but He says, "I want to tell you something, if you
understand sovereignty you know there's an absolute perfect will of
Almighty God, and you got it! You're going to be there. Oh sure, so, why
not present yourselves. Sure.

	Bro. Branham said, "The woman presents herself to man." No wonder the
man goes haywire. I'm going to tell you, present yourself to Christ and
see what Christ will do for you. Fill you with the Holy Ghost, and see
you'll be in that glorified form forever and forever. It is the same God
coming more and more into view, and we with Him.

	And so, we give out thanks on earth to God this day. We give out thanks
to Him for what an hour we're living in. We might say, as pretty soon
Christmas is coming, we say, "Christmas, O come let us adore Him, and
we'll crown Him Lord of all."

59.	I want to close my thoughts with this: Bro. Branham said, "Our
thoughts speak louder in heaven then do our audible words." But this is
the hour of the unlighted heart of Ephesians    1:17-18.  This is the
hour of 2 Peter 1:19-21 where we have the absolute sovereignty of God
revealed through a prophet vindicated. This is the hour of Malachi
3:16-17, where men and women get together and talk and God listens to
their words. This is the hour of James 3:1-2, and 11, where men's hearts
don't say one thing and mouth another, the mouth is saying what the
heart says, which is a revelation and illumination.

	This is that hour of perfection when the heart and the mouth go
together. This is that hour that Bro. Branham said when this the mind,
and he said, this  Bible and this heart, (now let's go further) coming
with the mouth all blend together and put you for sure in a resurrection
and immortality. This is that hour  brother/sister of praise and
adoration and worship. This is the hour that It says over here in
Matthew 21:12-16, concerning praise and adoration.

		(12) 	And Jesus went into the temple, and cast out all them that sold
and 						bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of 
moneychangers, 						and the seats of them that sold doves. (He put the
church in order.)

		(13)	 (He) said (this has been called (a) house of prayer; (you've)
made it 					a den of thieves. (You've stolen the things of God.)

		(14) 	…the blind and the lame came to…the temple; and he healed
them.

		(15) 	…the chief priests and saw the wonderful things…the children
						crying…Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

		(16) 	And (He) said, (hear what you're saying? (They say here, tell
him 						to shut up.) And Jesus (said) have (you not) read, Out of the
mouth 					of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

		(17) 	…he left them, and went…into Bethany;…

	Brother/sister, let me tell you something: these smart educated people
couldn't get it. These theologians couldn't get it, but simple minded
people who didn't care two-bits about theology anymore when it came to
what man had to say. They looked at what was being presented, and they
said this thing runs counter what's going on.

60.	This things runs counter. Then what lies behind it? Let's find out:
and like little children, they approached him with their minds cast
down. Little children they weren't accountable. Little children that
didn't have  the mentality so to speak, to look into these things, and
God said they stood back and recognized something. And He said, "You
shut up," He said, "because they recognized the Son of David.

	Now, the prophet said, "You got to get back to God." He said, "That
thing, and He'll answer back to you." And he was talking about the
Godhead. Talking about dispensation. And he said, "This, (he said) was
Son of God."

	They turned down Son of David, see? He was Son of God. Son of man
rather. Son  of God. Now, He's back to son of man. We begin seeing Him
here today. We see Him rising on the scene amongst the Gentiles. He
doesn't lift his voice in the street, working explicitly, and implicitly
by the Holy Ghost. He doesn’t come and kick us out. He doesn't say,
"Listen, I'm going to break that bruised reed, it's no good anymore. I'm
going to quench the smoking flax." He said, "I sent you Elijah, so I
don't break it up." No, no he said, "I won't do that now. I'm not going
to destroy. I'm not going to take that little bit of life there and put
it to one side." He said, "It's all messed up." But he said, "I'm going
to send Him, He's going to clean the whole thing up. I'm going to
restore Him and bring Him back."

	And the people wondering, "When's it going to be done? Where's it going
on?  What's happening anyway?"

	Oh listen, cant' you understand it's going on now. And if that isn't
giving us reason to praise and have a perfect worship service down here
getting ready for the big event, then I tell you somebody's dead, but
it's not Jesus the Christ!  He's trying to inhabit a corpse and he won't
do it. We're living members, living stones unto Him, we ought to have
praise. No wonder, bless God, before and not too long of any years ago
as Bro. Branham said, "You ought hankering to get in those doors, you
can't wait. I was hankering to stay to stay away and not even go to
preach, now I can't hardly wait to get here and hear what I'm going to
say." [laughter] And I know what I'm going to say. I know what I'm going
to say. Absolutely, I know what I'm going to say, but I don't know
what's going to come between the lines what He might not let me. Oh yes,
those things are gone now, …?...  brother/sister, there is a life and
that's what these guys can't stand out there. They can't it! They know
something's happening, because it is happened.

	I'll tell you, I scattered those three guys, last time I saw them, we
sat there with that look on his face even greater more impressive. What
was it? I don't know what it was, but I know one thing, I knew
something.

	And he said, "Bro. Vayle, I've been to the mountain. I have no fear any
longer."

	Oh, the Presence, my brother, my sister, even though that Great Stone
setting here in judgment as it were, ready to burst upon the scene, we
don't have any fear. That's what His Presence does. It may bring fear to
somebody else, but what we're looking at His grace. We're looking at His
mercy. We just don't see identification, we see Oneness, we see
Fatherhood, we see …?... Son-ship. I'm not identified anymore as
though identification did it. I am one with my Father. Yes sir!

	You say what you want. That's my testimony you see? And I'm going to
say it until He throws me out. Being …?... throw me out. Now,
everybody else is going to throw me out. But, I've got Word for that, He
will pick me up. When my father and mother cast me out, that's the old
denomination, that old whoring system you got born into is illegitimate,
you thought you were. 

	One day they threw you out. And he said, "Hey," he said, "you got
thrown out eh? why don't you go seem bad, they threw me out too." He
said, "We're just alike."

	One day the prophet said, "You and I are just alike."

	Oh, I couldn't believe that for anything, but I do. Yeah, we got two
ears and two eyes. We got the same God though. Still got the same
inspired One. Got a ministry …?... what else does a man need?  What do
you look for? Why you look for the Kingdom, It's already here.

	Recognition my brother/sister is a great thing …?...

	You say, "How are we doing brother?"

	We're doing great around here.

	You say, "I don't think so."

	Well, I do. I'm going to tell you something: you don't know this, but
you can look at me and see all my weak points, and all my strong points.
It doesn't bug me. I can look at you and see all your weak points and
all your strong points, and it doesn't bug you. I love you all. I love
you all with a different kind of a love. But, there isn't one of you
could rise up and make me go against somebody else. You got some awful
strong case of wretched immorality.

	You see, we're going down that road  brother/sister, and we don't even
know we're getting close and closer together, and in unity there's
richer and deeper. Why? Because there is one God. With one revelation of
that one God. And there is one people with a one revelation of the one
God, we are one with Him. Right? You love Him? Let's rise.
