One Died for All ‘End Time Evangelism’ Bro. Lee Vayle - April 14, 1995 Heavenly Father we welcome Your presence and we’re grateful that we have been made known Lord of that presence which we would have known to degree by a spiritual sensitivity, but would not have come into the living realization until the prophet told us that when Your son and daughter in the Garden of Eden You didn’t send the cherubim Lord. Cherubim angel or archangel but You Yourself came down, and so it is today. And we would not of known that Lord, but we do know it and we’re very glad that we know it, because we now know the same Pillar of Fire us still here to lead us into the millennium, and we are not at a loss concerning the truth. We know Lord the truth is rampant, spread around the world, but as Paul said, “The truth is as it is in Christ Jesus,” that makes a very, very great difference. The truth as it comes forth by the Blessed Holy Spirit proven to be real; such a difference Lord from people picking up the Bible and just reading it. As Bro. Branham said, “Anybody hand’s can open the book, but only You Lord can open it to us.” Revelation, we’re asking You for help tonight that we might not go beyond our depth or be presumptuous in anything Lord, that we might want to be different, or that we might want to be sensational or say those things which would be different Lord, just to have a different service; we know that is only too possible where people could come together for that. But we would pray that You would take over in Your infinite love and mercy and give us the truth Lord as we try to bring it tonight, that we over-shoot man entirely and come up with the truth as it is in Christ Jesus what it really is. So Lord, You can help us, so we’re asking You for help to guide us and bless us in this end. And we’ll give You the praise in Jesus’ Name. Amen. You may be seated. 1. Now tonight I want to bring a message on the death of Christ, and you know that what Bro. Branham’s ministry there has been a correction of the actual meaning or the revelation of the words. So many people for so many years have believed certain things concerning the Bible and we have to admit that they said was absolutely the truth. Yet there are many things that are said that are truth within themselves, but when you put them in a wrong category, wrong time, or you use them with a purpose God did not have in mind, although the intent may be a good intent it ends up the same as when He talks to those who come and say, “Lord,” you know, “did we not cast out devils in Your name and do wonderful works and prophesy and many things like that.” He doesn’t deny that, He doesn’t say, “No, you did not prophesy correctly.” He doesn’t say, “No, you didn’t cast out devils.” In fact Jesus had a run in with the Pharisees and He said, “If I by the finger of God cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast out devils?” [Lk 11:20] So, devils evidently were cast out but when he came down to truth, that which was definitive, they were not in the truth. Bro. Branham’s broad statement that “Jesus came according to Scripture, but not according to their understanding of Scripture” is a tremendous statement. It’s not the statement I’m really thinking of tonight, I’m just thinking in terms that as we examine Scripture it isn’t always just so open that you can say, although Scripture does say it itself, “Though a wayfaring man though a fool need not err therein.” [Isa 35:8] But it doesn’t say, “He shall not err therein,” it says, “Need not err therein.” 2. In other words, the Scripture can be so open and so perfect that you simply are a part of it in your thinking and your life and all. So just keep that in mind that we’ll look at the Scripture and the title is One Died for All. And we go to 2 Corinthians the 5th chapter, and we read there where Paul is speaking and you watch his language, it is kind of like a language of a lawyer, philosopher and he says here in verse 14, (14) For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: Now, he’s letting you know here the truth as it is in Christ Jesus in that love and that blessed impartation the Holy Spirit would give you no problem at all in making this conclusion or judgment that if One died for all, which is Jesus having died for all, then we’re all dead. He’s actually in actuality, or I might say the real understanding of these words is that if God found it necessary and efficacious, He found it this was necessary to bring about a certain thing which It did, He found it necessary and efficacious for one man Jesus Christ to die for all, then all were condemned to death. There wasn’t one that wasn’t, as it says, “It is appointed to man once to die and after that the judgment.” [Heb 9:27] And there was no escape for all were facing and receiving death. And that is true, ever since Adam and to this point for six thousand years men are dying. And so that Jesus now has died for every one is sets forth here that is dying and thereby there is made a way of escape. 3. Now, with that of course you immediately go to Jn 3:16, where we find that, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, in death that whosoever believeth in him should not see the death,” to which He was personally condemned, but now clean escapes it, because a life was given for exchange for His life. So that you don’t have to forfeit your life, which means that you would go into a separation from God as you have it now into a cessation, which we know to be annihilation. Now, understand that most people do not believe in annihilation. They don’t want to believe in it because you can’t scare people too easily if you come up and let them know that there isn’t an annihilation. You see, when you preach the truth, you bring out exactly what is in people. Now, if you preach what isn’t the truth, and a true revelation from this Word as it has been truly revealed and vindicated; you will get an …?... and you will get a sham religion. You will you will not get people that are truly transparent and that are truly Word people. You can’t do it, you see? In other words, there’s got to be a wholeness, you’ll find that in physical things such as the holistic doctor, and that’s not w-h-o-l-s, that’s h-o-l. But it has to deal with the fact that your whole body must be in alignment, because if you just had one of your cells attacked by AIDS, all your cells can be attacked by AIDS, there must be a wholeness in here. 4. So, all right, Jesus, God ordained that that light be given exchanged, so that even though there is a forfeiture and a cessation in the flesh at this point, we carry on from that point to where ever God would take us according to His Own desires. Now, verses such as these which I’ve just talked about here along with. “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” That’s used many, many times from Romans 3. And, “There is none righteousness, no not one.” And then they swing to the point where they bring up other verses such as, “And God hath made Jesus a sin offering for us, for our sins; that we might become the righteousness of God.” [1Cor 5:21] Which righteousness that God could only condone and be what as I termed a minute ago in the holistic approach which would be synergistic, how could you have a righteousness apart from God and be in harmony with God? You couldn’t. You would be in disharmony. You would be sick. That’s why the Bible said, “He that’s joined to the Lord is one spirit.” [1Cor 6:17] God does something for these people that’s really marvelous. Then again, it says, “Whosoever will, may come.” Bro. Branham liked that one. He said, “Now if it had not said, ‘whosoever’, it might not have been Bill Branham.” But he said, “When it says, ‘whosoever’, Bill Branham can qualify.” So Bro. Branham used those verses along with other people, and they’re very good verses, they’re in the Bible and they’re used in an evangelistic sense. 5. Now, it’s a favorite type of sermonizing, we’ll say it’s the favorite type of sermonizing of all evangelist to use Scripture that shows you are condemned as a sinner, condemned to what they usually call ‘eternal hell’, but hell isn’t eternal, but it is at least the honest truth is condemned to the destruction and hell fire. And they do this to bring upon you conviction and shame and guilt. Then they turn to the Scripture that shows not only a way of escape, but a life of victory and power which all men ought to have, and usually at some time, even perhaps as a child only, there is a conscience in that person that dictates there should be moral values that should be adhered to. And of course those moral values usually are based upon Scripture or some book of philosophy or so call book of prophesy by the Mohammedans and the Mormons and people like that. But they do have what you might call their creeds and codes of living, which means that they’re suppose to be living a life of victory and above those things which we know are bad, such as, “We all know nobody wants to be hurt, therefore, why should any-body want to hurt anybody else?” It’s a golden rule, “Do to others as which you want others to do unto you.” 6. Now, I’m not saying that these men are wrong, but neither are they right, because they actually believe that they are presenting the truth as it is in Christ Jesus, and delivered by Paul and the holy apostles and prophets. And they would die, actually die to defend their doctrine, and loudly and categorically claim the truth. Because they do see changed lives and in many cases they see the power of God manifested so that, really they can say, “These are sheep in sheep’s clothing.” They’re not false, look at their lives, and look at what they’re performing. And there’s no way then that you could possibly say that these people have not been heirs to the benefits of the death of Jesus Christ, and the fullness of the things of Almighty God. 7. Now, there could well be at this time, and I’m not saying I’m telling you actual figures there could well be three hundred million so called ‘born again’ ones who are of this order; they are what we call practicing Christians. And you say, “Do you believe Jesus died for you?” “Certainly did.” “Well, how do you walk?” “I walk in love.” And they certainly are able to give you Scripture and they’re fully satisfied that they are going to be in the Kingdom of Almighty God. They sing sweet songs about the New Jerusalem, because I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody sing a song about the Millennium. Now maybe somebody here ever heard a song about the Millennium? I’d just be interested in knowing if you ever run across one. 8. Well, now you say, There’s one about ‘Beulah Land,’ that could be the Millennium.” Well, I wouldn’t argue the point, but the point is, I still don’t recall anything about that, but I do know songs like, ‘When the Saints go Marching In’, and that ‘Pearly White City’, all those lovely songs there. Now, so they’re practicing Christians, and they are the product, or the end, or the result, or the harvest of the nets that have been cast by the evangelists, and they’ve drawn them in through the preaching of the gospel according to what they believe to be absolute and enduring truth. So now, we don’t know they are in this hour, there might not even be one million, because this is the time when grace runs out and that which the Christians, and this is the most horrendous thing to think, that the Christians are not aware that the actual meaning of brute beast made to be taken and destroyed is not an uncomplimentary Word from God concerning them, it is the truth! They’re serpent seed. They’re animals. You can just look at them some-times and know it. 9. So, I doubt if there’s one million, let alone three hundred million going to make the Rapture. And of course this is adamant Scripture, because it says, “As it was in the days of Noah,” the percentage is very minor, because according to what I have read, and I’ve never seen a change, from the time of Noah there was five hundred and a half billion people, just like there are today, and eight people made the Ark. They went over safely that’s all. Now, end-time evangelism means, ‘evangelism that is of this hour’, that the evangelist takes, preaches it, casts his net and brings in whatever. You can bring in fish, crawdads, could bring in sheep, could bring in goats. But there will be a group of people who will receive the truth at the end-time; even though it is stated in Scripture, now we’ll read it, that the possibility of really being in the truth is abysmally small. So end-time evangelism accounts for a very, very small percentage. Now I don’t care how big this Message is, I don’t care how vindicated it is, and I’m using terms now that you understand, it’s not, “I don’t care.” I’m just saying, I will not give credit to this great Message wherein we have perfect faith, the full assurance of faith, the complete vindication of the Word of God for this hour, not only of the Word, but God Himself, and our High Priest Jesus who is not comatose, but still making intercession, it is almost virtually ineffective. 10. Now, this great end-time evangelism which is non-paralleled, except you go back to Jesus Himself, and except you look at Moses and Paul, and in spite of Hebrews 6, which we’ve read time after time, the actual ear-marks there will be people who are enlighten. Now that means that they are going to get the truth period. They get it. And it’s the last time, ‘Once for All’. Now, “Once for All,” was already once for all delivered, Bible says so, New Testament. The faith once for all delivered. And here it’s back again at this time. They taste the heavenly gift, they partake of the Holy Ghost, they taste the good Word of God; the powers of the world to come, they fall away and they’re burnt. 11. So, what’s you’re looking at is the unconscionable use of Scripture to present, to preserve, and to actually fulfill ‘the lie’. Now think it over. Now if you were God, what would you think of that? If you’re just a decent person, what would you think of that? Now, these people that we call practicing Christians, and there could be three hundred million, we don’t know, they are the products, or the end result of a preaching that is suppose to be the truth and the power of God that sets men free from sin. The meritorious efficacious work of Jesus Christ death in full view, and the power of God in manifestation, and the best the Bible can say is, “Eight people make the ark, and the rest are natural brute beast made to be taken and destroyed.” Therefore, what is being preached today outside of the Message if there indeed be a Message which is the truth as Paul preached it, if there indeed be that Message, for very few that are going to come in, it’s an abject failure and there’s nothing anybody can do about it, because that’s the Bible. 12. Now, end-time evangelism as I said, which means, ‘the last age where the gospel is preached’, accounts for such a small percentage of this age like unto Noah’s day, wherein today there could be a maximum of five thousand. I think that’s one-thousand of one percent as Bro. Branham said. We just don’t know how many there are. Now, we mustn’t forget, “The evangelist, (according to Bro. Branham,) is one who preaches the gospel and then cast the net and brings in the sinners.” In the light of Billy Graham preaching to one billion people, by television, by camera, video, whatever, and him hardly agreeing that the Roman Catholic religion is identical to what he preaches, and his good old buddy, Cardinal Spellman, I think he’s dead now, he said, “I want you to attend my good friend Billy Graham’s meetings and you’ll come back a better Catholic.” Why did anybody send a missionary to South America or anywhere? What is Billy Graham all about? I shrug my shoulder, but you know what I know what he’s all about. The truth is not in him. 13. Now, what is our problem? The problem is simply this: the multitudes of the so called ‘born again’ are not born again of the Word of Truth, as were the original ones in 1 Peter the 1st chapter, beginning in verse 17. And you know this is a favorite portion of mine, because this spells out the truth. And it says here, (17) And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: (18) Forasmuch as you know that you were not... (Now, he’s talking about conduct to these people here.) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, (How come the Catholic church will take money and blot your sins out. Why? This is ridiculous, see?) silver and gold, from your vain (behavior) received by tradition from your father; Now, they are not even walking according to the Word. They’re walking according to what some people set up as ‘the moral code’, and this will make you virtuous. And this will give you access to God and all the benefits of God. But notice, (19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without (spot) without (blemish:) Now remember, He was the Blood of God, we’ve got a direct connection there. (21) Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead... Now God didn’t raise God from the dead. God raised the precious Lamb from the dead; a man. (21) ... and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 14. Now notice what happened here. He died and He rose to give us this ability. Also the strength, as Paul said, “If you live in the spirit, see that you walk in it.” [Gal 5:25] (22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, (Now, that tells you a process that you are going through.) see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Now, Bro. Branham said that. “How can you not help love each other, you that love this Word.” There is absolutely an absence of the love of the Word. Now we’ve gone into what we would call cliques. And I might be the cliquish, clackish one of the works, because I’m the one that gets all the fall out. I’m going to tell you something: I don’t have any time for those who don’t believe like I do. And it’s not though I’m vindicated, not as though I’ve got some-thing, but I know what Bro. Branham taught, and I know it’s here in the Bible. And my prophet told us flat, “How can anyone who believes all the Word, have fellowship with those who believe only part of it?” I beg to disagree with them on the grounds that they do not follow the prophet’s Message, they’re living in traditions, and they do not care hardly one nickel. Now he said, (23) Being born again, not of corruptible (spora), but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever. And it tell you right here, Bro. Branham said, “The Word is a seed.” See? (24) For all flesh is as grass, and (so on.) 15. Now, the point is, what I’m looking at here is: that you cannot be born again outside of an uncorrupted Word. So therefore, if the meaning of any doctrine in this Bible is changed, you’re not born again. There’s no way, because the Blood can only be efficacious according to what is said here. The Blood opens the door to it. But if you’re like Bro. Branham mentioned in the Token, “Oh yes rabbi, we should certainly put the blood upon the door, that’s the thing to do. Amen. We should take the little lamb, cut his throat and put the blood...” and you don’t do it,”, he said. See, he took it all the way back and brought it at this hour, men do not deny it. They would no more deny this Scripture than nothing, in fact I believe there’s people would die for it quicker than I would. You say, “Just a minute.” Don’t just a minute me, I’ll just a minute you. “Though I give my body to be burned...” [1Cor 13:3] See, I just shoot off up here without the Bible. But they don’t want it except according to their understanding. Incorruptible Word. They say, “Well that’s the whole thing, because this is incorruptible.” Just a minute, Eve corrupted It. Paul said, “It was already cast down in the dust of death and corrupted.” And I can tell you right now and I don’t care if we had a hundred William Branham’s or we had one thousand William Branham’s more, who out shone the previous one hundred it’s not going to do any good, they’re not going to believe it. Because the Bible said there’s only a very, very tiny percentage. 16. Now, if you want to know what real preaching is that Peter is talking about, and he’s talking about himself, you better believe that. You can go back to the 2nd chapter of the book of Acts and the 3rd chapter and you can read in there, and I’m not going to talk about him talking about explaining Joel and what happen at Pentecost, but you look at verse 22, (22) You men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man of God approved among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know: (23) Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Now, that’s real preaching, because that’s what they did. And remember it was in the foreknowledge of God, brought about by God into full predestination, it says right here. But it said, “You did it. You were the ones that did it.” God said it would happen, and it had to happen. (24) Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. Bring the same Message today from William Branham, and the same Message is this: “You have crucified to your selves the Son of God afresh. You have kept him bound and chained in organizations to your dispensational and wrong teaching.” And he is lying within there as Bob Brown said, and Bob could be right for Bob Brown, “He’s comatose.” And that’s what he is. At this point Jesus literally means nothing, He’s just waiting His day, as the Father here is putting all things under His feet. Eight people making the ark. 17. This is real preaching, because this is the Word. This is the delineation; the true declaration and explanation of exactly of what transpired from before the foundation of the earth beginning. And at this point come into view and without that, now let’s prove it. He said here, I won’t read the rest, [Acts 2:] (36) (Therefore let) all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made (this) same Jesus, (that) you have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (37) (And) when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart(s), and (they) said... Men and brethren, what (are) we (going to) do? And you know what happened? They got baptized in water, received the Holy Ghost. See, that’s the uncorrupted Word. Or you take the Word of the hour and bring it before the people. Now remember, you can’t do that in every age, no way shape and form. We were talking about the end-time, end-time evangelism. We’re talking about the death of Jesus Christ in this hour, what it means when He died way back there at that particular time. Now this then is true preaching, and we could go to the 3rd chapter and find the same thing. And you will find Peter himself saying, “You people were born of the uncorrupted Word of Almighty God in which there is Life, because it was demonstrated. And not only was it demonstrated, when you heard the truth of it and understood what was back of it, and what is going on now, and where it is going, you took it over right now, baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ received the Holy Ghost became efficient members of the Bride of Jesus Christ. Now you see what I’m talking about? We’re not talking about anything else my brother/sister, we are talking about the alpha/omega situation, end-time evangelism and the death of Jesus in this hour. I am not talking about the time when you were Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, Roman Catholics, Greek Orthodox; God knows what, or nothing, or the time that I was, my ancestors. I am talking in this hour. See? 18. Now, let us understand this: we go over here to the 2nd chapter of the book of 2 Thessalonians, and I hope this gets clearer all the time, because tonight you are getting it I think as clear as you ever heard it. So all right, it tells you right here in the 2nd chapter at the time of the son of perdition, and the time of the Son of man, the two ministries right together. What does it say here? It says, “Satan will have his lying signs and wonders.” And in verse 10, (10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness... Righteousness is presenting yourself to Almighty God in the truth worshipping Him and serving Him. These people are doing it in the unrighteousness manner, which means they do not have the revelation. Now let’s keep reading, (10) ... because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (11) And for this cause God send them strong delusion, they should believe (the) lie: What is the lie? Millions now living will never die. Millions now living, in fact billions are already dead. And what are you going to do about it? Or you’re going to pray, hallelujah. Oh yeah. Oh well, you’re going to put words in Moses’ mouth. “Now dear Lord God, I tell you how to fix this thing down in Egypt. Oh we’ll just go down and by Your glory and grace we’ll convert Pharaoh, hallelujah, big revival, oh yes, glory to God. Why Lord wouldn’t be better if we got all the Egyptian converted, and we just go out there and the Egyptian get killed, what glory would you get out of that Lord?” Oh brother. I pick up papers, I read them and I see some men, some come so close to the truth and then they veer a million miles off track, because there is no Light. And it says right here, “They would not take the truth,” therefore, the truth must have been presented. And I ask you a question: how was truth ever presented? By a vindicated prophet. Otherwise you are merely guessing. 19. Now, this also let’s us know Rev 10:1-7, where God Himself comes down upon earth. In Rev 22:10, where the seals have been taken off, and the book open and cannot be closed. And man now is at the gap where the interruption is no longer in existence, because he can go to the Tree of Life with impunity. No fear, he can go there. Now notice, I am not saying that all people today are not born again according to 1 Peter, some are. But I am saying that the vast majority, and there could be two billion Christians, and you won’t have five thousand in the Rapture, or beyond it. Now Paul explains exactly why. Now let’s look at this and find something in here, because I want you to notice particularly what I’ve said before, and I’m going to keep saying it until it finally gets into your consciousness that here is the big problem. See? 20. In Romans 9: here is what Paul says, (1) I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, (2) I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. (3) For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Now that’s in the spirit the same as Moses had when he’s pleading. For how are you going to plead against God? Is Paul holier than God? Has Paul got something that God hasn’t got that now he goes to God and said, “I could wish myself accursed? Why don’t You cursed me Lord and bring these in?” You know, when Ingersoll went around as an atheist he said, “If there be a God, I challenge Him to come down and smite me.” One guy, I forget who he was, wasn’t Dowie, it was somebody else. He said, “That’s like the peanut on the rail/way track saying, “If there really is a Santa Fe engine, let him roll down this track and crush me.” Stupid is, is what stupid does. And the best way to find out is open your mouth whether you are stupid or not. 21. No, Paul had the spirit of Christ and he soared. Let me tell you why he soared, because these were Israelites. Watch, (4) ... to whom pertaineth the (setting apart as the children of God,) and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; (5) Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. (Now Jesus had a natural election, that’s right in the Bible.) Now, (6) Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect.. There you are right there, now watch it. Not a though the Word of God didn’t take effect. Not as though what these people are saying is not true, it is true within itself when they say, “All have sinned and have come short of the glory of God.” [Rom 3:23] They will tell you, “There’s none righteousness, no not one.There’s none that doeth good, there’s none that seeketh after God.” [Rom 3:10-12] See? They’ll quote Scripture after Scripture and it’s called ‘proof-text salvation’, because very few people will deny it. Will say, “Well, if God said so, that’s it, I’m a sinner, but here now Jesus... oh hallelujah, I’m saved now.” No you’re not, no way near it. Because this is using Scripture to an end, to bring in people that will still only end up in destruction. 22. Now, (7) ... because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. (Now, watch it narrow it down, see?) (8) That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: (See, Ishmael and his gang.) but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. (9) For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. Now notice, notice a particular time, Bro. Branham always stressed time. (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 (anything that kids ever have done or ever will do,) but of (God Himself saying it and doing it.) (12) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. (13) As it’s written, Jacob have I loved, (and) Esau have I hated. Now try to change that. Oh I know there’s a certain fellow went around years ago, even came here and we put up with him, that’s all we could say, and he likes to use the thought here that this word ‘hate’, could mean ‘love less’. Bro. Branham didn’t say that. So we don’t say it either. He hated him. “Oh I can’t see how a God of love could hate.” Well you’re not seeing enough. (14) What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. (15) For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. (16) So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 23. Now listen, before they were even born this was there. So there had to be something in one of them that wasn’t there in the other one, even before they were born. So wherever they came from, and they had to come from two different sources, because it says, “All are not the children, all are not seed.” [Rom 9:8] So therefore there’s a seed of Abraham and there’s a seed which is not of Abraham. So therefore it was already predestinated and there can be no argument. Now, (17) For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, (I’m not going to save you, forget it.) Pharaoh didn’t even want to get saved. No! He was like the devil. When Israel got away, he try to bring him back to destroy him. Do you realize that the holy encampment the devil and his crowd are going to come against us and try to destroy us? “Oh Bro. Vayle I just don’t know how that could be; now that sounds very senseless.” Find, go home. You don’t believe anything. You don’t want to believe. Either the Bible is true, or it’s not true. God says, “Fire comes down,” that’s before New Jerusalem. I heard one guy supposed to have said he expects serpent seed to walk the street of New Jerusalem. I don’t expect he will. And believe this message? 24. Now listen carefully, [Romans 9:] (17) ... Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. (And it still is.) (18) Therefore (God) hath mercy on whom (God) will have mercy, and whom (God) will he hardens. (19) Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? Who hath resisted his will? (20) Nay but, O man, who (are you) that replies against God? In other words, they are saying what they are saying right today: “I can’t buy that. Now you don’t talk to me about a God being a God of love, and Jesus dying upon the cross and making a way for you to be born again and you turn around and tell me that He raises certainly ones up for that, forget it, I couldn’t take that.” Now you listen carefully, I just said, I said, “They hate predestination.” I said, “They have no use for it, they reply against God.” In other words, they deny God’s sovereignty. They say, “God can do anything, God can do anything.” And when He turns around and does it, “Hey, God doesn’t do that!” Isn’t that marvelous? What marvelous wisdom that person has. I have never heard of such delicate sensibility, such judicious statements. Not even in a crack-pot insane institution. (20) ... Shall the formed thing say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? (21) Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump (one father, one mother, Isaac and Rebekah, same sperm same egg,) to make one vessel honour, and (one) to dishonour? (22) What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much (suffering) the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And the Greek tells you right here that they fit themselves to destruction. But down in 23, (23) That he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared... (God does it here.) These people are only mentioned, they’re not part of the life-stream, we are. 25. So therefore, you will notice that these words that I have read from Paul are the very same words of Jesus Christ. And I remember I went to a little seminary for about six weeks and they said, “That Paul preached predestination and those things which Jesus didn’t preach.” And I found out later on they were crazier than hoot-owls. Merciful God, it says right over in [John] 8: and 36, begins, (36) If the Son make you free, (you’re going to) be free indeed. (37) I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. (Watch that, “My word.”) (38) I speak that which I have seen with my Father: you do that which you seen with your father. (39) They answered and said, Abraham’s our father. Jesus said, If ye were Abraham’s children, do the works of Abraham. (40) But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. (41) You do the deeds of your father (Cain and the devils, the serpent.) (They) said they to him, We be not born of fornication; (we don’t belong to Cain, you’re just trying to get us,) we have one Father, even God, (because we trace ourselves back to Abraham, goes back to Adam, Adam goes back to God.) (42) (And) Jesus said, If God were your Father, (you’d) love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. And that’s the same words like Bro. Branham said right here: “You that love this Message how can you not help love each other?” 26. Oh, I know people want to; they write me from Germany around and say, “Oh Bro. Vayle, you must get with this guy.” He has a diatribe against Mr. Ewal Frank who’s in adultery and even told the fellow, “That God gave him that secretary that he could have relations with, because he was that kind of a person and needed it.” Now, he’s supposed to... Hey, drop dead! I’ve got enough trouble now without going whore mongers, liars and thieves. I don’t know about you, maybe you’ve got it made, I haven’t. Don’t give me that stuff. I’m not a ‘goodie-two-shoes’ don’t worry. I could likely out-smut you. I don’t fool with women though, don’t worry. I don’t want your money or anything else. I just have my words and I know they’re not nice, but I got a life. That life is there don’t worry. 27. Now he said, (43) Why do you not understand (me)? because you (can’t) hear my word. (You see, there’s no revelation.) (44) You are of your father the devil, the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (See?) Why certainly, God never told the devil to go down to the Garden of Eden, never told the serpent to tell that lie. Huh. Did it on his own. (46) Which of you convinces me of sin? (Find me out in one word.) If I say the truth, why do you not believe me? Now watch, (47) He that is of God heareth God’s words: Now, that’s the very same statement you get over in 1 John the 3rd chapter. The One of God and the one of the devil. So therefore, it says right here, (47) He that is of God hears God’s word: you therefore hear them not, because you’re not of God. That tells you why 2 Thessalonians is outstanding today, because the Word of God has been manifested displayed as being the truth. And furthermore, you can see these millions coming in and they’re never going to make it, because they’re not getting the Word of God. Now, we’ll bring this back to the death, don’t worry, just give me some time. I’m taking longer time than I really meant to. That’s the bad part. 28. All right, so let’s go to Galatians the 4th chapter. Now the whole Bible runs in continuity when it talks of a certain subject and our subject of course is sons of God and predestination the death of Jesus Christ. All right, 4:19-31. (19) My little children, of whom I travail (again though)... Christ be formed..., (20) I desire to be present with you, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you. (21) Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? (22) For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. (That’s Hagar and what have you, Ishmael.) (23) (And) he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman by promise. Because little Isaac could not come under any condition whatsoever, unless God did something, because neither Abraham nor Sarah had any possibility of bringing forth a child. Not even with transplants, some cellular therapy and everything else, forget it, it wouldn’t work. Nope! Couldn’t even borrow somebody else’s womb. Abraham was dead. Semenly speaking he was dead. She was shot too. 29. All right, (24) Which things are an allegory: for these are two covenants; one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. (25) (And) this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. Creeds and dogmas wherein they attempted to worship God and were forcibly destroyed in their attempt, because they turned down reality. See? (26) But Jerusalem which is above is free... (27) (It’s) written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she (that has a) husband. In other words, there’s millions out there that are just former religion, they’re traditionalist. They are not born again; they do not have the Word. There’s millions out there. See? The desolate, she doesn’t have a husband, she’s been whoring with everything under God’s high heaven, of creeds and dogmas and idolatry, until she’s a complete mess. And she’s got billions of brats, rotten reprobates, natural brute beasts. That’s all it is. Otherwise tell me, how come eight people made the ark today. That’ll shut anybody up. It doesn’t shut anybody up out there. “Oh, millions not living will never die.” They got a better word then God. You know what I’d do? I just walk off and quit believing. You know why? You’d be better for it. “For thou shalt not bear the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” [Ex 20:7] He’ll catch up with you. Oh yeah. 30. Say now, (28) (And) now, brethren, as Isaac was, (we) are the children of promise. (29) But as he that was born after the flesh persecuted him born after the Spirit, even so it is now. (30) Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. (31) So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. And then he goes on, and he goes on down through here, discusses circumcision and I want you to notice right there, when Barnabas withstood Paul on circumcision, I want to ask you, what kind of a seed was he? “Oh,” you say, “Bro. Vayle but God said, ‘separate me Saul and Barnabas’.” God also said, “Separate me Judas.” Huh? Sure He did. Paul said here, “An angel of God come down and I change one Word, I’m gone.” Circumcision, Christ avails you nothing. And He wanted this man to be circumcised, so that Christ was nothing. What kind of a seed? Well come on, smarten up, wake up, think up. Are you satisfied he was a wonderful servant of God? I’m satisfied if he was another Judas. And you know what? I believe every true five-fold minister’s got one too, (three, four, five, six.) 31. Well it tells you right here, now let’s go to this 4th chapter, I want to get what I’m reading at here. Now... the 4th chapter here, going back to verse 6. [Galatians 4:] (6) And because you are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (7) (Therefore) thou art no more a servant, but a son; (In other words, you’re elevated, placed in that position of authority,) and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. So, what are we looking at here? We’re looking at the fact that there were two seeds. And the multitude of seed that rejected Jesus that crucified Him are doing it again, and all the time they’re screaming, “Oh we believe in His death. Oh yes, He died upon Calvary. Oh yes, it’s the Blood that allows us to approach unto God, oh yes, indeed.” See they know the Scripture; they got some very fine students. Yes, very fine students. And the biggest lies is ninety-nine percent truth. 32. All right. This is the very same thing we find over here in 1 John the 3rd chapter. Absolutely the two seeds, absolutely the one receives the efficacious death of the Lord Jesus Christ, and has access to God by reason of the Blood, we’ll talk more about that. And he says here in 1 Jn 3:12. (12) Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. (John said, “You are of God little children, not the wicked one.”) 33. Now, in 1 Jn 3:12, which reveals’ two seeds, are two peoples, leads us to exactly back to 1 Cor 15: 22-23. So we go there, the great chapter on the resurrection of the bodies, those things which are so vital. 22 and 23. (22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. (23) But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; (and) afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Now, where we learn, this is where we learn the truth, that though it can be said by the fundamentalists, “That Christ died for all,” bar-non. Non but those who died in Adam of the recipients of the resurrection life that accrues from the death of Christ. The death of Christ does not atomically give you something. It opens the door to that something. 34. As we found over here in Galatians the 3rd chapter. So let’s read it and under-stand it. (13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Watch, (14) That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; (which is this:) that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. So Jesus Christ died to an end, and the shedding of the Blood was an end to receiving the baptism with the Holy Ghost. Now tell me that the Holy Ghost conduit is a Word that has been compromised by man, or changed, that there’s any life in it. Tell me there’s any life in any message outside of this which is vindicated by God. Talk all you want about the death of Jesus Christ, you only condemn yourself, because it doesn’t work that way. 35. Now, before we look further, we go back to 2 Corinthians 5, because we only read to verse 14. Let’s go back and we’ll read another verse with it. And there we read, (14) For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: Now watch, (15) And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Now this is where you’re in the adoption, where Jesus is treading water, you’re treading water. If He’s going somewhere, you’re going somewhere. This has nothing to do with presumption that has to do with definition. And it tells you right here, if you are part of that death, if you are in that death, for the one purpose of being raised in this life, to not only live in the spirit, but to walk in the spirit. You can not get away from it. 36. Now, so the end-time Message of the evangelism pertaining unto the cross is: believe it or not, predestination based on election and foreknowledge. You say, “Jesus died.” Fine, I got no problem, in spite of the fact God says, “I’ll compassionate whom I will compassionate, and whom I’ll harden, I’ll harden. So it’s not of him that willeth, or him that runneth, but of God that shows mercy.” [Rom 9:15-16] See? Now, listen to me, you have been hearing me going through several Messages of Bro. Branham recently and you have noticed that I have taken time to impress upon your minds, that Bro. Branham was teaching predestination and they were turning it down flat as a fritter. If you turn that down then you don’t have God’s salvation, you’ve got your own, because salvation is of the Lord. And, it’s not of him that willeth or him that doeth, or of him that approaches. It is blessed is the one that God calls and causes him to approach. And we’ll see that more as we go on. 37. To preach the cross, to preach the baptism to the Holy Ghost, to preach the resurrection, to preach the millennium, to preach the New Jerusalem, to speak in anyway in any terms concerning God and the sheep of His pasture, the flock of His hands, is to embrace and to teach sovereignty. See? Or stand in error and rebellion and disbelief and denial, now that’s a shocker but it’s real, because it’s at this hour that they deny Jesus, and He’s the one who had to come; I’m talking Jehovah now, the same Pillar of Fire, that came to William Branham and said, “The sovereign God knew it, how many fleas there’d be, how many times they’d bat their eyes balls, and how many it would take to make a pound of tallow.” See, this is a shocker, but it’s true, it is that simple. End-time evangelism, or who are getting the truth for the rebirth and the power of the cross is solidly sovereignty, and proven to be so by the presence of God Himself and vindicated by the Word prophet. 38. So again, you go to 1st Cor 15:20-23, (20) But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. (21) For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. (22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Now, it tells you there very frankly and positively, and let me read it as it would be in the Greek, bring these: “For as in Adam all die, even in identical manner...” Now, I want to ask you a question: Did you have anything to do when you died in Adam? No! It was Adam’s act, is that correct? Then did you have anything to do with this? The answer is no. And you’ll notice, as in Adam they died, those were the ones that are made alive. So now we have Moses and we have Pharaoh, we have the two seeds, and if there’s going to be a serpent seed walking down New Jerusalem, is that what he said? Oh merciful God, Sister Foss, you couldn’t believe that even if you tried. What are preachers thinking? What are preachers telling their people? You need preaching? Universalism, the same junk that ?Marachel’s? son [William] Booth-Clibborn preached. “One day the devil and Jesus going to walk hand and hand down the New Jerusalem street.” Not with me he ain’t. [Congregational laughter] Yeah. Not with me he ain’t. I’m going to be direct with Jesus I can tell you that, I’m not interested. And if I miss Jesus, I don’t even want to be where the devil is, I couldn’t take it. 39. “As in Adam all die.” is a categorical statement that cannot be challenged until the opening of the Seals at the last mystery solved, which means there’s going to be a hand full that don’t die. That’s Rev 10:7, 1 Cor 15:51-55, “Behold I show you a mystery...” Now, this takes us to 1 Th 4:13-17, where the Lord descends with a Shout which is Rev 10: 1-7, the Seventh Seal, brings us the complete revelation, brings us a complete truth. And now those who are being born again by the truth and those who have already been born again are now being thoroughly sanctified by the Word which is the truth, in putting on the full garments of God, which means not longer do you think in your old terms. I could no more think in Oneness and Trinity than nothing anymore, don’t give me that hogwash, I challenge you. You’d be the looser, I’m not afraid, I’ll tackle you anytime. Oh yeah, I’m not afraid of anybody on this trinity stuff and that hogwash they’re preaching. Because I know God cannot be tempted, and Jesus was tempted in all points. I know God doesn’t have to learn obedience, He backs His Word. Hey, when you gets alive kid, you’re alive, but when you’re dead, you’re dead, and I’m alive to the Word of the living God that has been vindicated. When I see the little boys rise up and say, “Well, I’m going to lead two million into the millennium and have satellite churches.” And he calls us organized. You can’t get my tapes unless you beg or pray or get them from somebody else unless you’re a part of our group. Or I’ve been...your helper for years and years, we’re not organized, phttt. I don’t ordained anybody to go out of here. I can tell you people are doing it though. But they loved to say, “We’re organized.” You know why? They hate the Word. They hate the Word; they don’t really hate my mannerism, although they’re not anything to write home about. 40. All right, now notice carefully, there is a prehistory to 1 Cor 15:20-23, especially, (22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. And the prehistory you already know is in Ephesians the 1st chapter. So we read it, (3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (4) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world... So therefore, we were in Christ, before we were in Adam, and Christ was in God. We’re in Adam, we’re in Christ, we’re in God. There’s your prehistory. Now, what about this Son of God? What about this One, who is He? Bro. Branham explained it perfectly. I do not like the word ‘logos’ too well. Paul used it maybe a couple of times, John used it. But I’m going to just show you what Paul said, and Bro. Branham said the same thing. And it says this, [Hebrews 1:] (2) (Concerning) the last days spoken unto us (in) his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (That’s the ages and also creation.) (3) Who being the (out-raying or the effulgence) of his glory, (the out-raying of that glory) the (expression of His substance.) God comes... Hey, children of God come from God, children of dogs come from dogs, children of horses come from horses. Right? Amen and amen. Jesus came out of God, and William Branham distinctly said, “Before there was one atom, a breath or a little bit of wind a Light formed,” if there was nothing... formed means, ‘to mould from something’s there’, uh? And so therefore, “Jesus was formed from God, like a Son playing around the Father’s throne, having conversation with the Father,” which no Jesus Only will ever admit to, because he’s in idolatry. Don’t tell me he’s not. 41. Bro. Branham vision, he was going to get fruit from both sides, and when Miss Trinity came by and took his arm for a minute and talked to Bro. Branham, the world came by, whoosh-like that, and Miss Oneness, little doubtie, she stood there awhile, but when the world came by, and remember one word off is the devil’s kingdom, and he came by and took her by the hand and she went down the road gave a little look and went on, she was happy to go on. The greatest revelation under the Seventh Seal was: ‘There is one God’. Then other revelations previous were not correct, because the revelation under the Seals corrected all errors. You see, I’m not afraid to tangle with anybody. Why should I be, I know the Word of God, I live it, I think it, it’s in my processes. I won’t go back to the tragedy of whoredoms, wasted life, fornications and adultery, and idolatries that ends up in a spiritual AIDS, where flesh rots on the body. And the soul is rotting now in corruption, brother/sister we’re not in that game, get out of it. 42. All right, remember also in Rev 13:8, He was crucified before the foundation of the world and we were in Him. As Bro. Branham said, “When He died we died and we were there in Him atoning for those same sins.” He use that in a limited way, I use it with him. Therefore, before we were in Adam, we were in Jesus the Son of God, and before that God Himself as sons. We are the generations as it says in Psalms 2: “This day have I begotten you,” which means I started my generations in thee, perfectly as told. As Bro. Branham said, they asked him, “What’s the difference between God and Jesus?” He said, “No difference, except sons have beginnings.” See? Now we notice; if we want to go to Genesis as we’ve gone time after time and you can see it in there that God breathed into Adam the breath of lives, and he became a living soul. And Bro. Branham said, “You were in your father,” he said, “you were in God.” So therefore, Adam was a natural conductor, and you as a soul a part of God were in a natural election. “Oh Bro. Vayle I can’t believe for one minute that my father and my mother and that terrible thing called ‘intercourse’...” Then why do you have it it’s so terrible? Why don’t you quit? Bunch of lousy stinking hypocrites eh? Oh, I get you by the short hair, I don’t mind. Holy Matrimony, the proper bedding ground of a mother that’s a part of the father brings forth that spiritual child into human flesh. And just like Jesus grows in stature and favor and we piling Word upon Word grow up to the full measure of Christ. Oh yeah, yeah they don’t get it, that’s their business. 43. Thus, from what I’m declaring from Scripture, it is quite easy to believe that I am preaching a very limited atonement so that the Blood could not be a universal panacea or cure for sin. It is not that, it is not that the whole world could be absolved from its sin; it could be positively, because when He died, He bought the whole world. He paid the price, He owns it all. They could be absolved from sin relative to the fact that God could now be approached by the offering of blood. Anybody, that’s what the book of Hebrews says, “He went in with blood, and God was in the Holy of Holies and by blood he was able to approach unto God.” So the blood has made the approach. Now do you see why Jesus said, “I am the door.” [Jn 10:9] And it was only later he said in John 14:[6] “I am the way, the truth and the life.” The death, the door, because death was the door to God. Jesus living had no value in that respect. The blood flowing in His veins, wonderful, He was a great person, never sinned and God could say, “There’s my perfect One, you should be like Him.” Wouldn’t do any good, He had to be a door, He had to die. Bro. Branham categorically said, “If something’s going to live, something got to die.” He referred that right to Jesus Christ. Christ had to die, positively had to die, He was the door. Now He becomes the way. How does He become the way? Because the same life that was shed now comes back upon you and me. But remember, we must be born of incorruptible spora Word. And that Word was corrupted way, way back there. But God has always allowed that little light to come through. That’s why there’s always been a measure of oil; there’s been a measure of wheat, there’s been a little something that God has allowed that life to come through. And in that Light the people rejoiced, but they could not have the promise Son in flesh until this hour, the one that Eve should have borne. “For now has Christ risen from the dead.” And Bro. Branham always said, “If He is risen from the dead, He will now do for the Gentiles what He did for Israel, because He promised He promised it would be done.” And he never ever told us, he just quoted Matthew 4, then we got on to Matthew 12, where we learn more and more of the truth. See? 44. So therefore, it is not that the blood is not a universal panacea or cure for sin, it is not that the whole world could not be absolved from sin relative to the fact that God can now be approached to the offering of the blood by the high priest, but it is only the seed-word children of God who are of such lineage that when they approach is made, via the blood opening the door, because sin has been dealt with. It is that they and they only can come and bring their deeds to the light, the rest won’t do it, the rest won’t do it. There are those who will even turn down the Blood flat, like Mary Baker Eddy said, “There’s no more efficacy in the Blood of Jesus Christ than the blood of a rooster.” And somebody else said, “There’s no more efficacy in the Blood of Jesus Christ on the cross when He died, that went afloat in his veins.” They missed the points. Let us understand this my brother/sister, sin has been dealt with, people believe it, people receive the doctrine, but they turn down the Word that goes with Jn 3:16. It is not, “That God so loved the world (only) He gave His only begotten son,” to take away all condemnation. That is absolutely true, but what is stopping people from getting the life? What is hindering them that they are still condemned? If condemnation has been removed and it is still here, what is wrong? They are not taking advantage of the way in which God has advanced it. 45. So we look at His death tonight, and as we look at it let’s go and read Jn 3:16, and we can close off. I can just get finished. (16) God so loved the world, (you know) he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have ever- lasting life. Now watch, (17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (See?) (18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. But I want to tell you something, Jesus Christ Himself said that according, “That they that believed on Him, according to the Scriptures they are the ones that receive the Holy Ghost.” Not somebody else, and remember Scripture is by revelation. Now watch, (19) And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, (that) men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. And that’s exactly what Jesus did, as Paul said, “That which makes manifest is light.” And it was manifest that this One could do the deeds that no man could do, unless that God was doing it through Him. And Nicodemus admitted it and they knew it, and it made manifested that this was the Son of God, and they turned it down flat. 46. So therefore, you turn down the light of the hour, you can talk about the death of Jesus Christ all you want, it’s not efficacious for you, I’m sorry. I’m sorry because listen, let me tell you flat, the door is open, but there’s a certain process and procedure that follows that; and it tells you distinctly that when you trample under foot the blood of the covenant, you do it by trampling underfoot the covenant, because blood is never separated from a covenant. And a covenant is never separated from blood. So therefore, you wonder why it is there’s only five thousand people out of five and a half billion maximum going to be standing here to make the Rapture. It’s very evident what it is, it’s all lined in the whole Scripture, “They received not the love of the truth,” [2 Th 2:10] they didn’t want the true word, they didn’t want the true interpretation, men loved darkness. How dark can a man be, that advocates a Roman Catholic gospel and said, “That’s a Protestant gospel?” Can’t Billy Graham read 2 Corinthians the 11th chapter? No, he can’t read it, any more than the Branhamites, or a Trinitarians have turned Jesus Only. They can’t read it anymore, give them the Bible, they can’t read it. You say, “Bro. Vayle.” Don’t Bro. Vayle me. Even Newt Gingrich said, “We are raising kids going through high school that can’t even read their high school diploma.” And look what a fraud he is. He’s worried about all the black and white babies and the mothers that’s costing us 435 dollars a year, but he refuses to do one thing about the 1435 dollars that industry’s costing us, so that McDonald’s can take our money and advertise and make more money. Smarten up folks, it’s all over, the dollar has gone down. I’m glad he said, “The bruised reed he won’t break and the smoking flax he won’t quench until hurls forth judgment unto victory.” [Mt 12:20] 47. So it is true, One died for all. All are dead, there’s no doubt about it, they’re dying every day. Separation from God comes next, eternal death, which is the second death in the lake of fire. Today He’s the door, He is here. But what do you want, what do we get from now on? The answer is: positively no one will get in that way, even though that door was open and is open, unless they come by way of the Word, because there is nothing else you can come by, because when it’s all over you must be born of that Word. In other words, that Word makes you a safe delivery unto God. Isn’t anything else going to do it, because of the conduit of the Holy Spirit. 48. So here we are back again to 2 Cor 5:14-15, Jesus died that I might live. But there is no life outside of this Word of end-time evangelism. The end-time revelation of a sovereign God, and people hate sovereignty just like Cain did, yet if you go to the Book of Genesis there is nothing but sovereignty, and when you go to the Book of Revelation there is nothing but sovereignty, Then how are you ever going to preach the cross, the death of the Lord Jesus Christ the efficacy of the shed Blood, the value and power of a meditating intercessor unless you under-stand sovereignty? And I submit to you as the Pentecostals never understood it and people today don’t want it. I read an article just a bit today, threw it in the garbage, plumb flat out against sovereignty. Plumb flat out against that God knows His Own mind, that God’s doing His Own thing, that some how we’ve got an influence and have an input. It’s too late, sovereignty from Genesis to Revelation. True moral choice is not that we can make any choice of our own; in our own encounter with God, but that we are free to make the right choice that God has laid out for us tonight by His Word. That’s what free moral agency is all about. Let me read it again, true moral choice or agency is not that we can make any choice of our own; in our encounter with God, but that we are free to make the right choice in our souls that God has laid out for us tonight by His Word, to either believe the Word or not believe the Word. And that’s why time after time I’ve preached communion and said, “This is valueless and put you in the debtors corner, in the debtors court and God will exact from you what you witnessed and testified to that you did not believe, and could not accept.” 49. So we close this admonition, don’t try to plead the Blood and claim the Blood in your behalf unless you’re willing to come to the Light of a vindicated Message to see if your worship is of God, and examine yourself in the Light of revelation and prove you are indeed one who died in Adam, but are now alive in Christ. Because I want to tell you something, Adam was not deceived. Neither was Mr. King David when he lusted for is neighbor’s wife, committed adultery and killed the husband. He walked in strict disobedience with his eyes open, he knew. And this is where that choice comes in: will we stay with that Word of God? Now David is a man after God’s Own heart, I have no trouble with him, I know he’s in that first resurrection it has to be without a doubt. He’ll be right there in a place I could never assume to ever qualify for, I’m not even interested. The point is, the man disobeyed the Word, we know that, but he never ever said, “The Word was wrong.” When Nathan the prophet came and said, “Thou art the man...” [2 Sam 12:7] He said, “I’m the man.” So there you are tonight brother/sister, we can talk what everything we want to talk about, but it all boils down to one thing, and I think you’re catching it more and more and more, the Rhema Logos, Jehovah Elohim that we worship according to the revelation that the Rehma Logos, Elohim Jehovah God brought. And there’s the picture of the Pillar of Fire, not God, that’s the Shekinah Glory through the vindicated prophet, and there he is right there. [Points to picture of Pillar of Fire on the wall] 50. And now brother/sister, let us understand this, we’re right back to the gospels, “I am the door of the sheep, and if any man want to enter you can have access to God by My shed Blood, because the Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” And He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man can come to the Father except by Me.” [Jn 14: 6] And when He embodied Himself in that particular Word, truth and life, He was saying what we’re looking at in Revelation right today, “I am the God of truth, the God of the Amen, I was Alpha back there, I’m the same Alpha now, the Amen, the record is all closed off.” And here you are. And here we stand brother/sister, and let’s understand this, the Blood of Jesus Christ has scattered every sin till there be no evidence of it. How than can a man be called a sinner? So here we see, as we worship Christ tonight and understand His death upon Calvary. Five and a half billion people, one or two less, are going to be here leaving neither root nor branch, serpent seed. And they’ll all be screaming, “He died, hallelujah, He died, He died, He died...” And the Catholics claim, “He died, He died, He died. But Mary, you can twist Jesus’ arm, that’ll help.” And the Protestants, no different, “Jesus you died, but hallelujah, shake my hand, join the church.” They’ve got a lot of dodges, the devil’s an art in full dodge, but brother/sister he’s been fully exposed and the death of Christ has been revealed to us tonight, not tonight, but through the Message of Bro. Branham, but hey look, there’s a sovereign God that did it all. We say, “Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe.” 51. That’s exactly the truth. So yes, He died for all, He bought us all, He owns it all. But who are joint heirs with Him? Only the sons, for they alone come through the Blood. Yeah. The rest don’t come through the Blood, they just talk about it. And then when they go through the open door they find the Good Shepherd is not dead, He’s living in the form of the Holy Spirit leaving abundant life to His sheep and leading him by the still waters, man living by every Word, and we’re doing it now that proceeds out of the mouth of God. You tell me that [points to picture of Pillar of Fire] not the mouth of God? The life in that Blood’s come back upon us. So we have a little Good Friday Message, a little sort of Resurrection and we’ll see what comes up on Sunday morning the Lord willing. I just may go back to my studies in the ‘Seed of Discrepancy’, but then we may have an Easter Service. Let’s bow our heads in prayer, because we have foot washing and communion. Heavenly Father, we want to thank you for the time You’ve given us, allotted tonight Lord to see the sovereignty. And how true it is, and it would have to be sovereignty, because before there was ever and earth, or there was ever a man that had any consciousness whatsoever, the plan was already laid out for the death and resurrection of that Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. And we see Lord Your sovereignty, and we know Father that sovereignty preached by people years ago with a misunderstanding led them into a sterile condition, which You sent then our good brother Wesley to break the traditions, because that’s what the truth had become merely a tradition, for they become not a sanctifying word of grace and truth, but a death trap, because the Word had been changed. Now Lord we find it back in balance, where You’ve come on the scene and You showed us as the prophet showed us You’re great sovereignty Lord where very shortly now having gone all through these various ages, and all that which was in there we are now come to the final step which is standing before the Tree of Life. And the dead shall come out of the ground immortal and we shall all be changed and caught up to meet the Lord in the air. We know that to be the truth, and we know Lord that could not have happened except that Jesus died, and even then He rose again to shed forth His life upon a scene once more we started before we started the Message. There is a certain synergistic quality within the Word that we cannot take one doctrine and separate it from any other. Or one Word of life and separate it from any other. It is an intergraded whole, it is all working together even as we know it to be the truth, “That all things are working together for good to them that love the Lord,” tonight Lord. And You’re Word has worked for us, may we realize that we’re standing on holy ground tonight entering into the final part of our service. Bless us together we pray as we do so, guide and help us into all things in Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen. Communion Service 1. Now, we’ve already taken a message of course on the death of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the Lord’s supper is all about, and we read on with always from the Book of 1 Corinthians the 11th chapter, where Paul warns them that they’re in great danger of taking the Lord’s supper in a way and at a time that was not justifiable or stood with the truth, and thereby when they left the meeting they were in worst shape than when they came in. Now, this could not happen in a Bride church, it’s impossible, because the preaching of the Word, the conduit, even if there was just a modicum of the Holy Ghost in the whole message, you’d be more full of the Holy Spirit having listen and taking the Word than when you came in. You’d be more positively built up in faith, more of the putting on of the wedding garment, and being ready. Why? Because it’s impossible to be otherwise, see? There you are right with sovereignty. So Paul warned them and he said, “Now you’re on dangerous ground, I want to get you off that ground. Now, let me tell you, I’ve received of the Lord.” 2. Now, this revelation cannot be changed. This revelation, though we read it in the gospels, and we can know all about it without the apostle Paul saying one word. I want you to know one thing: I do not care what any of the scribes wrote, and they’re accurate, because God gave them perfect recall. The thing is what Bro. Branham told us, it was Paul that received the revelation. And so we go here and we stand with it. And Paul said, “This is what God told me. When the Pillar of Fire knocked me down and disassembled all my previous thinking, so they became such a mess I can only designate it as manure, because that’s all it amounted to, my thinking is radically changed, I cannot think the way I use to think. Now, I was told many things (said Paul) of this man Jesus and how that He was supposed to have shed His Blood and said, ‘eat my flesh and drink my blood’, and I believe no doubt with the rest of them that they were carving His body up. And I heard many things, but I want you to know this is what God told me, and this is it.” 3. You see the difference? Scribes, I’ve no problem with a scribe, because he’s got perfect recall. That’s great. See, they were part of it, they were in it, and so you can say they were in cahoots, they were sympathetic. Here was a man entirely unsympathetic, no doubt believing that they took the body of Jesus and carved Him in small pieces and ate it, and they were kind of like Bro. Branham said, “Cannibals,” and my heaven who knows what. “So I want to tell you something: God gave me this, and if I change one word it’s over.” Now I like that. This is agreeing with what Bro. Branham taught, because he laid her down that Paul received what those men did not, and when he stood against them they proved they were seed by agreeing with him and said, “No, no, Timothy doesn’t need to get circumcised.” But Barnabas said, “Hold it, hold it, we’re going to circumcise, we’re going to do it.” Paul said, “You ain’t doing nothing.” Now, who do you think... just get your thinking cap on, “Oh yeah, yeah, they have Paul he was a great man Barnabas, he went with Paul, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh huh. This man was with Bro. Branham, yeah, yeah, yeah.” I don’t care if was with Bro. Branham, if he ate off his dinner or even licked his toes. Where does the Word come in? “The Word of the Lord endures forever,” William Branham doesn’t endure forever. He’s dead, gone to ashes and gases maybe. He’ll be back. Why? Because he’s part of the Word. He’ll come back and endure, but a this point… well he’s fine where he’s at, we know where he’s at, he’s in that dimension that he saw with all those fine people having a nice time, but you’re getting my point, that hey, we’re not dealing with men here, we’re dealing with God. See? 4. Now, he said, “Here’s what happen, the same night that Jesus was betrayed, He took bread, giving thanks, He broke it and said, ‘This is my body, broken for Me, do this in remembrance of Me’.” Now Paul said, “I thank God for every remembrance I had of You.” Paul had some wonderful friends. How many remembrances do we have of Jesus? How thankful are we for those remembrances? We should be more thankful... positively much more thankful. So, He took and said, [blank spot] “... in remembrance of Me, this is the cup, you drink it, in memory of the shed Blood.” Now what did the shed Blood do? Well the body had to be broken in death, and the Blood had to be shed to open the door. But that’s what He did open the door. Now you got to go through that door. Now how many go through the door? Only those that come to the Light, right? They bring their deeds. Now Paul’s bringing his deeds, he said, “What I’ve heard, forget it, this is it.” 5. Now, Paul is bringing himself and these people right to the Light. Wonderful communion service. You say, “Can we have it that good?” We got it that good. There ain’t no difference between William Branham and Paul. Why? Same God, same Word, who cares if Paul or George Brown, or Johnny Smith, no problem. Why his name could have been Rufus, with Saul it’s changed to Paul... don’t get confused about names and things get back to God. “Oh William Branham great man.” No, not William Branham great man, great God. He said, “There’s no great ones among us, there’s a great God here.” So you know, makes you think doesn’t it? Get a little off track at times with our, what would you call it, trying to be nice, and trying to be respectful for Bro. Branham? I don’t think Bro. Branham would like that kind of stuff. The man I knew pointed everybody to God, man he was shooo, he was a stickler. 6. Now he said, “As often as you do this you show forth His death, you remember Him.” Now he said, “Don’t drink it unworthily.” No how would you do it unworthily? The only thing I know you got really unworthily is absolutely do what these guys are doing, which is plumb off that Word in what they’re doing. Now if they were doing what they were doing, do you think they really had any revelation? Huh? Eating and drinking and getting drunk and falling around, come on. It wasn’t, that wasn’t the way it was. They were sober, Paul was very sober and he’s bringing them back to sobriety He said, “Now examine yourself.” Paul used that same expression in Galatians. Bro. Branham used it. Examine yourself if you be in the truth, examine. Now what was the examination? Examination was, “I Paul receive this from God and it is proven. I never heard the truth, I heard all the lies, and I entered in even killing the people because of the lies, and I’m telling you the truth. Now do you stand with me or not?” That’s all he saying. “If you stand with me, you stand with God.” So if I were to say, “I stand with William Branham, and I’m standing with God.” They say, “Well Bro. Vayle, I don’t think you should go so far in that, I really think, I really...” I say, “Why don’t you just shut up.” I didn’t ask you to think for me, and I’m not thinking for you. I’m telling you what I believe. And you know something, the more I tell it, the more I believe it, and the more I believe it the more I’ll tell it, until it becomes the great factor in my life. You say, “I think then you’re putting out God.” I’m not putting out God, he’s right there telling that man, [points to picture of Pillar of Fire] and that’s the covenant we have. You sign a contract and then go in a say, “Well I don’t think I’ll live up to this contract.” You don’t? I got news for you; I’m going to sue you. What do you think God says? “Oh that’s all right; you know you can get by, oh yeah.” “Here’s the Bible prove it.” He says right here, “Unworthily, you pay a price.” So, here we are tonight, it’s always the same story, simpler by the minute, richer by the hour, the truth as we haven’t had it in two thousand years and maybe longer who knows, it’s the wind up, it’s the end, and pretty soon there won’t be any sick amongst us, there won’t be any weak, all these things past away, there’ll be a Resurrection and a Rapture by the grace of Almighty God. So all right, let’s rise at this time... [Communion follows] One Died for All - Page PAGE 22
