Questions & Answers # 3

 Bro. Lee Vayle   -  October 6, 1991

		Shall we pray. Heavenly Father we honor Your Presence this morning, we
realize that the same One Who was here in flesh two thousand years ago
in back here again in the form of the Pillar of Fire doing the same
thing, even churches recognize it, Catholic church, and no doubt others
do too. But we recognize It more than they do by virtue of the fact that
we have had the vindicated prophet, vindicated Word, Your Presence even
proved the Pillar of fire by actual manifestation on photograph and we
appreciate all this. And Lord, it is not by happenstance, or by some
kind of a fluke that we read the Scripture this morning wherein Jesus
picked up little children in His arms and blessed them, because we know
that when He was here upon earth at Mount Transfiguration He literally
put His arms around those three disciples and bore them up with Him. And
we know the same thing is about happen in this day that You'll pick up
Your little children of the Resurrection, and those who are a part of It
by immortality going to the Tree of Life, will pick them up and take
them up to the heavenly Bridegroom and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
where the Spirit that's amongst us even God Himself become incarnate to
us, we crown him King of kings and Lord of lords.

	We thank you Lord that that is true whether people believe it or not.
Whether we have the depth of understanding in the reality in our own
souls, we know it is true, because it's been manifested to be true. And
what is true is true, and it's going to go on to the end where triumph
of truth comes forth, and we trust being part of the truth we will
triumph with it.

	So Lord, we commend ourselves this morning and thank You for Your love
and mercy. Teach us Lord, and may we apprehend the bread of life for
which we are already apprehended in this hour in Jesus' Name we pray.
Amen. You may be seated.

1.	Now, we going to go back and perhaps we'll be able to review a little
bit of the brother's questions were that he sent us. And I say again,
he's a real fine brother, he studied and he knows where he's coming
from. I am certainly sure that if he ever came over here we'd just love
to have him in the pulpit and speak to us from his heart, because he's a
man that's not afraid to look at things. And that's one thing that I
told you long time ago I admired about Bro. Branham, he wasn't afraid to
look at things you know. People get so narrow minded they're beaten down
by their organization, their denomination, by their preachers, by their
teachers, and they are put in this little narrow confinement, and
they're afraid to look you know, I would be appalling to me if people in
this Message were afraid to look. In other words they're not afraid to
lose their own thinking. They're not afraid to expand their thinking and
say, "Well hey, is this going the right way?"

2.	I remember years ago there was a preacher asked me a question, and so
he began giving me some of his understanding, "Do you think it's this
way, that way?"

	I said, "No," I said, "See if you follow it this way, see where it's
going to go." And I showed him where it would go plumb off the Word, and
Bro. Branham in the spirit must of caught that. 

	Because I remember years later he said, "Now Lee, I want to ask you a
question."

	I said, "Sure."

	So he asked the question, and I forget what it was, I answered. "Now
hold it," he said, "right there, see now if you believe in what you're
saying, (he said,) watch where it goes right off the Scripture."

	Well you see, with this Message you can always go to the Scripture. A
lot of people say, "Well the Bible can prove anything you wanted to
prove." Hey look, that's true. But this is vindicated. There's a big
difference if you've got money in the bank, or don't have money in the
bank. You know you can see the '92's coming in now. 

3.	I remember years ago when I was just a young kid I'd go down and see
the new Chevrolet. Now this is before the ...?... most of you were ever
born even. So just listen, you're out of the picture, but listen anyway.
That was the day when they had you know, what do they call that on
the... 'knee action'. Ha! One or two remember 'knee action'. Anyway,
they had this Chevrolet with the knee action, and they had a platform
and they had this off center wheel. What do you call it? Concentric, the
wheel would go foomp! Floomp. And it would make them... show you the
knee action how the Chevrolet would go. So, you know, hoity-toity, just
like you know, on a billiard table, just rolling down the avenue. And
you'd say, "That's great, that's great, that's great," you know. Well
you know, the thing is I'd go stand there and I'd just think, "Boy
wouldn't it be nice if I had...it was only twelve hundred bucks I think
in those days. Whoo, what twenty four thousand now? Yeah, that's a lot
of difference. Of course I talking about a lot of difference in my age
too. And so anyway, I'd stand there drooling over the car that I
couldn't have. The other guys that would come along, they didn't drool,
they just took the money out, laid it on the counter and drove off.

4.	Well, that's what I'm talking about this Message. You don't have to
drool about it, we are absolutely those with money in the bank. It's
been vindicated, we have been given the food in due season. We have
entered in to the Former-Rain which falls at the time of the
Latter-Rain, and every Scripture we see fulfilled with this positive
power of manifestation as Bro. Branham said so succinctly, he said,
"Why," he said, "God interprets His Word by manifesting It, bringing It
to pass." 

	And you know, that's a pretty strong statement. But when you begin
taking that statement that Bro. Branham made, and applying it to
doctrine, and going to the Word, you can see serpent-seed, you can see
Rapture, you can see every single thing in the Bible Bro. Branham
taught, the events concerning and all. But of course, you know, there's
no place in there for the Word. And you know, let's face it, they're
never going to get It. 

	You know, everybody's like a teacher I had years ago, and he was an art
teacher, and he was good. But he was stupid. He told us, he said,
"Anybody can be an artist. Anybody can do art work." [Bro. Valye makes a
rapid drawing kind of noise] ...like this you know. Even faster than you
Brian. I don't think he was good as you though, in fact I know he
wasn't. And he said, "Anybody could."  Hey, no use...you could take a
shot gun and blow my head off, I couldn't ever be an artist.

5.	Well, a few months after that big mouth had said that, there's always
big mouths around the country, even we have our problems, it came out by
those who were expert, the real artists, you know, the guy's that got
thirty, forty, fifty thousand bucks for their painting while they are
still living, and that artist said, "You are born an artist, artist are
not made." 

	And you know, I talked to a woman her name was Miss Shaw, she's a good
friend of mine up in Canada. She lived in Lethbridge [Alberta] when I
was there, and she had her paintings she was great with her water
colors, and she had them hung in the London art gallery. And we talked
about art, and she would show me pictures that were real as she put them
on...not canvas now, because they're water colors a special paper
that...maybe like a parchment or something she used. And she said, "Now
Bro. Vayle, do you see that blush there?" And I would see what she was
pointing at. And she said, "You know, if you're not an artist and you go
out and you're going to paint the scenery, if you're not an artist you
won't see it." 

	There was a certain something that she could see because of an innate
quality. See? Well, it's the same with the Scripture, if you don't have
It in here, that place in your heart for this Word. Now look, don't
drive yourself crazy about it. If you haven't got it, you haven't got
it. If your folks don't see It, your love ones don't see It, your old
church doesn't see It, that's what Bro. Branham said, "Don't go back to
your old church and try to tell them anything." So many people always
want to go back and you know, kind of dig up the dirt again, all you're
going to find a bunch of worms, and hey, I think it's almost time to
quit fishing. Bro. Branham said, "It's all fished out." Well I don't
know, you just get a can of worms and no fish, [Bro. Vayle chuckles]    
 I don't know, I think it's better to just...

6.	Anyway, before we get to these questions, and we will get to them, I
want to...the folk that are getting this tape now won't have the
preliminaries when we had a little dedication here. I know that some of
you think I may sounded very stern this morning, but, and I am to a
degree, but I love people and I want to see people helped.

	Now let me tell you something that you would not know unless I told
you, and this is where I'm coming from this morning. And I'm talking to
young people and you're going to do what you want, you're going to do it
anyway, because most of you got your minds made up and I'm sorry for
you, I really am. 

7.	Bro. Branham and I were sitting and eating one day and there was a
bunch of young girls in their teens over at a table, and he said, "Lee,
you know what I'd like to do if I could do it?"

	And I said, "What are you talking about Bro. Branham?"

	He said, "See those young girls over there? I'd like to be their
buddy." Now that's strange. He said, "I'd like to go over there and buy
them ice-cream sodas and talk with them, and warn them, and show them
what's ahead of them. But (he said,) see Lee, if I did it they wouldn't
understand and I'd be picked up and thrown in jail for it."

	And this is a long time ago he said that years before he died. And I'm
going to be honest with you, I'm a very flakey kind of a guy, you know
that by now. I don't see everything everybody sees it takes me a long
time sometimes. And I thought at that time Bro. Branham I don't
understand where you are coming from. But he was looking down the road
at what lies today, and you know something, listen to me, you young
people a prophet of God would of loved to talked to teen-agers, your age
right today, and he didn't dare do it because of the law. Your own
parents cannot talk to you today, because of the law. And you are wide
open for all the guilt and sin the devil can pile and you need help
whether you know it or not. And people today don't seem to think they
need help except out of somebody else's pocket, which means the
government will raise taxes until there's nothing left. In sixty years
of that kind of junk in Sweden they're finally turning back, and after
seventy years in Russia they're turning back. And even [Alan] Greenspan
[Chairman of the Federal Reserve] says that he believes capitalism is
not only sound economics, but it's moral. But that's all people seem to
want is some hand out, so they can be more and more indulgent in sin.

8.	Now you listen to me, you're old enough to where you had better pay
attention to the Word of God and godly parents, and though you may have
to keep your hormones as they call them under, you had better do it,
because one day it's going to be too late. 

	Now listen, there're marriages taken place in this church, I never
married them, but I could be responsible for some, because I don't who I
might marry as though I believe, I don't know if they believe or not.
But I'm going to tell you, being unequally yoked  is a very, very
serious thing. And if you're a believer and you marry a person that
wants to hold you down to prevent you from reading the Word or from
praying or going to church, you are duty bound to divorce that person
and never marry again.

	If you marry coming out of this Message you cannot break  those vows
and then grab somebody else. So you see, I know you can look at me and
say, "Well Lee, you're an old man." Now you're right, I'm a whole lot
older than people think and I feel a whole lot older than I look too.
You say, "Well now that you've lived your life and had your fling..." I
didn't have much of a fling. I had one woman and that's all I ever had,
and all that I ever wanted. I never frequented bar rooms, smoked, drank,
tried anything else, but that doesn't make me a paragon of virtue. I
could lie and cuss faster than a horse could trot. We've got some pretty
fast trotting horses. 

9.	"In my imaginations was wicked all the day long." I wasn't a goodie,
goodie any stretch of the imagination. I had my fights and everything
else. My run ins. But the point is this, it doesn't matter what my past
is, I never have claimed to live the Word of God, because no man ever
lived the Word of God outside of Jesus Christ. If any man had ever lived
Word of God we wouldn't need Him. That's right! If any man had ever
lived the Word of God, or even today with the Holy Ghost can really live
the Word of God, we wouldn't need Jesus. He wouldn't had to die, He
wouldn't have to rise again as Intercessor and Mediator.

	But you know, there's comes a time in your life when you understand
more and more, and you walk more circumspectly, and by virtue of the
fact of what you've been into you warn and admonish people, and the
Bible tells us even elders must warn and admonish and help people. 

	So this morning when I talk about these things I want  you to know, I'm
only saying them because the Word of God says them. And don't take upon
yourself a responsibility that you can't handle, and don't take and bite
off more than you can chew, because you'll pay for it. And as you do
there'll be people around you that will pay that price. Now I speak as a
parent, I have paid plenty of prices for my kids, and yet I have not
paid as much as some of you have paid and will pay likely, because a
generation exploding with this... the power of the enemy, and the power
of sin. For the church has turned on itself proving its immune system is
completely out of whack. And lupus has gone into the church, until the
churches are completely destroyed by the word which is antichrist.

	So, I want to tell you this, and I put it on tape for special reason
people can get it and understand. Some of these things what I've told
you about Bro. Branham perhaps times goes on I'll tell you other things
we have talked about privately. 

10.	Now, going back to this brother in Europe which I think is a
fantastic brother, we read what he...asked the question a while back.
We're just going over perhaps rapidly.

	"Before we came on earth in a procreated body in which form were we?
Were we in the form 	of thought, Elohim, or were we in the form of the
Spirit?"

	Well, the point of the matter is, Bro. Branham said that we were a part
of God. He also said that we are attributes. He said we are genes. He
also said concerning our soul, that our soul came from God, because a
soul is the important thing, that's the part. He also said there's a
gene in the soul, he called inner soul. There are many things that Bro.
Branham said that definitely leads us to understand that we were a part
of God.

	Now, for instance let's look at the picture, he said attributes. Now
what does the word 'attribute' mean? It means 'that which attributes'.
Well, what do you tribute certain things to them? In other words, you
attribute, you give it credit, you see it in this particular sense. 

11.	Let's say, now here's this little girl she's been bit by a dog, and
this dog here looks just exactly just like collie dog which we know
collie dogs are not biters. And so you say, "Oh what do tribute that dog
biting that girl to?" 

	Well, the fellow says, "It's part wolf. It doesn't show but it's part
wolf."

	You see, what was in the wolf nature, what was there came out and bit.
Now if we're attributes of God, then he's saying something came out and
manifested. So therefore, if we're attributes we are that which
attributes. In other words then, we were a part of that, even the very
nature, the essentiality of Almighty God. Now, do you understand how it
is then that the sheep hear the voice. There's no way you recognize a
shepherd. He said, "The sheep don't recognize any voice but the voice of
the shepherd." Why? Because he was there at the birthing. And from the
birthing then on the voice.

	Now, if you weren't sheep in the first place you never... hey, goatie,
goatie, doggie, doggie, piggy, piggy, gone. What can you do? You can't
expect the dog to ...?... bark, no you see, so you've got to realize...
now the word 'gene'. Gene is the same thing. Gene's again are the same
as attributes, because without that there would be nothing attributing
to what's coming out here. I forget how many genes there are, I guess I
could look down this book down here and find it, but, I always ...?...
genes there are, and they're suppose to be... they always told what is
it, twenty three chromosomes? Now they say a hundred thousand now is
what they say now. I just read an article. That's why they call this
genome is set up all around the world and they are feeding in to it from
all around the world, everything, until... they figure they're going to
figure every disease and everything. And Bro. Branham said, "When they
come right to it it's over."

12.	Already the churches are saying, "He's here, it's over." They got
the gnome set up, it's over. Whether g-nome or ge-nome, what is it?
Gnome? Yeah. It's over. People still looking around. We're before the
White Throne. "You don't believe that sonny?" 

	I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm just trying to say, "It hasn't sunk
into your consciousness." That's right. It takes a while. See. Look it,
the prophets prophesied beyond themselves. Preachers preach beyond
themselves. You testify beyond yourself. It's only God who never
testifies beyond Himself, because that is Himself. He's the Word. And He
can back His Word up, because He and His Word are One and the same. And
we are admonished by James, that we and our word be one and the same,
and we'll never be that way outside of the life of the Word that's in
us. And it just seems to trickle through a little bit, a little bit, but
as I said already today, hey look, if we had to live this Word, there
isn't one of us going to make it. No way, because we're in the body of
death. The body is dead already because of sin, and the root of sin was
not taken out. The only way to get the root of sin out is for the body
to die. I mean, dead, plumb dead. Bury it. I don't know where people get
their crazy doctrine, they're Methodist. They said that Wesley taught
the entire eradication as entirely sanctification. That's a lie, I never
found anything by Wesley or anybody back in that day. The main scream
out as Bro. Branham said was against antinomiansim, which was Calvinism
gone to the extreme where they said, "Hey, you've got it made, you don't
got it made, so who needs to be born again, forget it. You're going to
be because you are."

	And you know there's a lot of truth there. But, haw, haw, it's just
enough truth to deceive you, the lie is in there. "You must be born
again." And how are you born again? By the baptism with the Holy Ghost.

13.	Okay, so all we're looking at attributes and genes called the soul
etcetera.  Sometimes it seems Bro. Branham says we were a thought.
That's exactly right. He does say it at the beginning and that we came
on earth directly from the thought to the flesh. No that isn't true. You
see, from the thought to the Book. That is to the thought to the Word,
making It explicit, making it lie in there, making to the point that the
Word comes forth as Bro. Branham said, "He mastered great, great
grandmother, great, great grandfather, right way, way, way, way...
back." And he said, "A virgin birth is nothing compared to an ordinary
birth one of the elect of Almighty God." No way, shape and form,
"because the birth of Jesus," he said, "put in an egg and a sperm, put
in a woman's womb, but you and me brought down, down, down, down..." Six
thousand solid years we're here. And there's the, what you might call
the computer mind of God, the infinite mind of God, tracing that egg and
that sperm down that life, down, down, down, down through that mixed
lump. Why, virgin birth is nothing compared to that. See?

	But, there had to be a natural election, so God put His Life in human
bodies. See? And when you consider the male ejaculate in a life time, I
forget, it said, it would go pass the sun and the moon everything else.
All of that is sperm, most, a lot of it is sperm, billions and trillions
and God knowing exactly which one. For years and years ago, they'd say
the Dale Carnegie course, the old guys would bounce up on the platform
pretending they're twenty years old. Anybody knew they're seventy. He'd
act like, my God, walk up sedately with a cane when you're seventy, you
know what I mean? They'd bounce up there like kids and they'd say,
"Congratulations, you won the first race you ever ran."

14.	They thought at that time that the first sperm that got to the egg
was the one that impregnated. Hogwash! Sperm go over the top, sperm
can't get in, and there's a predestinated one that gets exactly into
that egg. See? People don't understand a lot of these things. That's the
natural election and you're not here by chance. You look around and you
say, "Well Bro. Vayle I believe from this and that." ...?... 

	You just keep your thoughts to yourself and don't express them. Because
the minute you start expressing something that's when it goes into
orbit. "By your words you're justified, by your words you're condemned."
And every idle word, and every idle word you must give account for.
Which means...an idle word means a sitting there idle. It doesn't work.
So you've got to keep your mouth shut, because the only word that works
is the Word of God. And if we're not teaching the Word of God there's no
way you can get help this morning. No. Because my word is not going to
help and your word won't help. No way shape and form.

15.	Like a Jesus said, "Speak to this mountain." Ha! Talk your head off
to the mountain. Where, why? Because a grain... a faith that's the size
of grain of a mustard seed can move that mountain. Faith is a
revelation. So when you've got that revelation, that mountain moves. The
same as Bro. Branham said. He said, "I challenge you, if God told me
tomorrow morning to raise Abraham Lincoln, (he also said,) George
Washington, (so we can have a duet.) He said, "I'll go down to the
cemetery, bring the armies of the world, shoot me down if I can't do
it." 

	When that man had 'Thus saith the Lord', there was no stopping it. And
how are they going to stop us getting out of here when we got the same
Word? We got the same revelation. You believe the Rapture don't you?
Shout, Voice, Trumpet. You know what they mean don't you? You got the
same revelation. He said, "The Bride is waiting for the revelation of
the Rapture." And It came, everybody's going ump, ump, ump, you know.
You know, Mortimer Snerd stuff.

	God does not have Charlie McArthur's, or Mortimer Snerd's. [puppets use
by ventriloquist Edgar Bergen] Ha! Do you believe for one minute that
you could come from God and be a Mortimer Snerd? No way. If you're a
true child of God, you've got enough brains to keep your mouth shut and
listen, and think until it gets down in here and becomes real and starts
coming forth. And Bro. Branham said, "When it finally comes forth, it's
going to be like every day natural living." Did you ever see anybody
flap around an fly off to the moon? We've got enough of that Pentecostal
hogwash in this Message. ...?...

16.	All right. He said here, sometime Bro. Branham seems to say that we
were a thought. "That's exactly right, at the beginning and that we came
on the earth directly from the Thought to the flesh having bypassed the
form of the Word, this is the reason why we should sin or that we would
sin." He doesn't mean we should sin ...?... if that's true. "And have
come back to the second stage that was missed, Logos or Spirit." And
Bro. Branham did say positively, "A body is expressed and bypassed that
theophonic form." God knew that we would sin as Irenaeus said, and Bro.
Branham quoted him on different occasions. He started first of all by
saying, 'Deep Calleth to Deep'. In other words if there's something in
here there had to be something out there.

	Well, if a man is screaming for some help, for some salvation there
must be something out there to answer to it. So therefore, the Great
Creator made what was down here to respond back there. Well, if He was a
Savior, He'd have to make us sinners. 

	"Oh I don't think that's fair." 

	What are you talking about? When the vindicated Word came forth and
said, "You didn't even do it, you were tricked into it."

17.	I'm going to tell you something. When you  go a court of law and you
find that somebody deliberately put another guy on the spot and wheedled
him and wangled into a position whereby he would sin, they throw the
case out of court and that's what God did. The devil wangled us into
sin, and God threw the case out of court and put it all back on the
devil. And the Seventh Day Adventist come along and say that's a
escape-goat. Hogwash! The escape-goat was Jesus. The devil deserves what
he got. A escape-goat is a guy that doesn't deserve what he...somebody
puts on because he didn't do it. Why, when you're in this Message and
don't even know language? How was that dirty crack wasn't it? I meant it
to be. I meant it to be, I'm not pulling my punches for anything. I
don't have a mean spirit about it, because the guy I have in my mind he
has the English language down even more pat than I do, because I've
forgotten so much vocabulary that I once had I can't use it anymore. My
mind...[pweet!]  you know... but I don't mind to mind that way. My wife
and I have fun that way. She can't remember and I always forget.

	So all right, you bypass the form of Word or the Word formed body which
is also called 'Spirit'. And that was in the plan of God. Because that
particular form you did not have the manifestation, or the form that
could in anyway do anything contrary to what God Himself is in His
attitude and desires towards us. You just never could do it. Only Jesus
could say, "I always please Him." Because He having had that form could
come on down here and remember all things, and when you remember all
things He just walked according to memory. See? 

	When Adam was in the first form, a spirit form, Bro. Branham in one
place said, "Adam was in the likeness of God." And he said, "See God's
Spirit." That's likeness. We'll talk about that in a little bit when we
get further on.

18.	Okay, 

	"Now as for us, we have to be formed in the image of the Word of the
Logos, we bypass the 	theophony, the Logos Word from the thought we
directly came flesh men to be tempted by 	sin. See Bro. Branham shows us
we were a thought, and we will never be the Word unless 	we were a
thought at the beginning, this proves God's predestination. Who is this 
Melchisedec? This is our Book of Life. 

	You see, he's right in Melchisedec which is where we get our major
thoughts. And the reason we get our major thoughts in Melchisedec,
because I've told you previously is on the grounds that Bro. Branham
made many statements previous to 1963. But from 1958, especially 1960 to
'63, but '58 to '65, seven solid years. But especially I say in '63 when
the Seals were opened and the Thunders came forth, the mystery some of
which were 'Marriage and Divorce', and 'Serpent Seed', and so on, which
I cannot know that number seven Bro. Branham never taught us, so we just
be guessing. But anyway he did mention some ...?... which was 'Marriage
and Divorce' and such as that. And he also mentioned down the line in
another place about what truly 'eternal security' was, what the true
'baptism with the Holy Ghost' was, and the 'Mystery of the Rapture',
those things positively he declared to us.

19.	So, what I'm saying is when you take the concluding Messages of Bro.
Branham's life, from the opening of the Seals, the Seven Thunders, where
every error was corrected and every single Word of God brought out for
this hour and for us. See? Don't come to me with a message about the
Jews. I'm not interested in Jesus coming to the Jews. I'm interested
will he come to me and take me with Him? You say, "You're not nice." I
am nice. You're nuts! [laughter] And you're sticking your nose in where
it doesn't belong. What do you care what I'm going to eat for dinner.
Unless you're just plain dumb, stupid curious. Well I can tell you, it's
going to be like chicken with nice gravy on and some dumplings in there,
providing we get home to eat them. Somebody may invite me out and I
think their food sounds better than mine I'll go with them. [laughter]
Save mine for tomorrow. See what I mean?

	Hey, you've got to understand this is what got that German fellow all
messed up. He said, "Well brother, this says over here in Zechariah.
This is over here, this is over here." What does he care what It says.
That's why he said, "Bro. Branham made fifty seven mistakes." He hasn't
got a clue to how the Bible was written. Scribes totally called.

	Bro. Branham stood right in the pulpit and he said, "I was different
from all the rest, because I could tell it exactly as I saw it." And I
saw him stand there and tell a man his dream. 

	Everybody gets all hampered up about Daniel, "He stood there and he
told the man a dream."

	I don't mean to be you know, smarting off here in the pulpit and being
Mortimer Snerd or something, but the point is the truth. William Branham
didn't just tell one man his dream. He told many men their dreams and
said, "Stop it, you've made a mistake." Phew! Can't you see
brother/sister where we're at? If this isn't God I don't know God from a
...?... I don't want to know. I'd be so confused I wouldn't know which
way to turn. I'm confused enough already, because I can't get more
thinking under control as much as I should, and my thinking is much,
much more under control than a lot of people's are. They don't have a
clue to the doctrine.

20.	So all right. But in some other passes it seems that Bro. Branham
shows that we were existing with Jesus in God's image in the form of the
Word. That's right, it certainly seems that way. At the beginning we
were in God's image the real...the veil and darkness prevent us from
knowing that. Well, if you can't know it, you can't know it, just let it
bypass, because if we bypass a certain body and thereby we're limited.
In other words, what was actually in us and able to bring forth it was
aborted due to a certain physical factor, or something that God was
doing, then it's aborted. What if I'm born without my left hand? I'm
aborted as far as that's concern, I can't use a left hand.

	Now, let me give you an idea here, this could be as kooky as all get
out, but you bear with me. Bro. Branham categorically said, "That
hypnotism was a trick of the mind and not the devil," I was just going
to ask him that very question when he answered it for us the night
before I could get to him. And he told about the man in the audience
that tried to hypnotize him. And so the man smarted off and God came
down and put him out of commission. I guess He crippled him. From that
time on the guy was crippled, and he kept writing Bro. Branham to do
something. And Bro. Branham said, "I can't do a thing until you repent."

21.	Now hypnotism. They will regress you until the guy...now you know
Ford the actor, what's his first name? Is it Glenn Ford? The guy out of
Canada that rides horses. All right, as a child he was physic, or he
knew things. Well anyway, he was regressed under hypnosis, and under
hypnosis he could play the piano brilliantly. Under hypnosis he could
speak in ancient Egyptian language and several more. Now, my point is
this, if... now this is just a hypothetical thing I want you to just
listen to me, and don't take it for any gospel truth, I'm just trying to
show you something that maybe help you to understand where I'm coming
from, where Bro. Branham could be coming from.

	All right, now, how was this person Glenn Ford able to speak these
languages if it were not by a supernatural power, it was not the devil
but purely a trick of the mind? I'll tell you how, because within this
stream of life and this little life that's in you and me is a microcosm
of the entire universe and God Himself. Then would it be strange that
under the proper condition that life that goes back six thousand years
couldn't produce any language, see, that I through my life stream God
knows where I came from except from Adam picked up in those six thousand
years? See what I'm trying to tell you?

22.	All right, then the same thing I'm talking about except under
certain conditions you and I could never ever have what lay within us
way back there, and it won't be hypnosis that does it, it's going to be
the Resurrection that does it. For when you die you go to this
theophonic form as Bro. Branham called it. Now the word theophony is not
true and it is true, because if we're a part of God and we go back to
what we missed, then it is a theophony, because we are gods, we are
lesser gods. Actually we're the children gods. Demi-gods, what you might
say, but we're not God per se. And remember, the only begotten Son was
One of a kind, and we were in Him. I don't understand all of that.
But...

	So, what we were back there we haven't any way of knowing and we don't
even need to know. So forget it. Just be happy that you were back there
doing what the Bible said you were doing. That's all. See, you weren't
running around trying to follow Lucifer and get all messed up. You were
up there, and we'll just keep reading anyway.

	[Question:]

23.	"Jesus said to His disciples that He was with them before the
foundation of the world. Would 	this seems to go together with Job 38,
when all the sons of God shouted for joy? He said, 	"Job where were you
when they all came together and shouted for joy?" 

	And remember, at that time it said Satan appeared. And of course this
goes into the place of fallen angels and all those things, but I don't
know too much about it.

	"Are we those sons of God a part of whom rebelled against God, a part
of which that whole 	group, you know those sons, rebelled against God?"

	Well, we certainly wouldn't... hey look, let's what we're looking at.
We are not looking at people who were created. When you talk about
angels they were created. We were not created, we were born, and what we
were born from and come out of determines the kind of body that is
commensurate to that particular life, because dog life never gives pig
life. What they've done to pigs right now and what is the other thing
they've combined it with and made the poor pigs are knuckling over and
they're getting sick and everything else. They simply can't do anything
with it. You see, always hybridization weakens and spoils and destroys
it. See? You know, by the way also there's only supposed to be on type
of wheat left in the world that is not hybridized? That's a derm hard
wheat called 'camute'(?) came out of Egypt. Everything in this world is
hybridized, or mutated by something, pesticide or something thrown on
it. And we're all part serpent seed according to flesh, so my Lord, how
far can we go into the things of God? Only by revelation.

24.	Are these a part that are rebelled against God? Well now, you can
call a son of God by creation, but we are different. So if we were there
with all those guys standing around us and they weren't born of God, no
way could they be born of God and fall, because that which is born of
God cannot sin. See? Ump, ump, ump, ump. No, no, no. They know the
difference, righteous and unrighteousness. Oh yes, they're the only ones
that do know. The other people they call evil good, and good evil. They
don't know, we know. See, that's true, we know, vindication. I don't
always speak from any knowledge that I've got and any experience I got.
Forget it.

	If I went back to my experience I'd be like a kid just playing out in
the nice warm water, nice puddle and a nice sun shining, who cares, let
everything go by. And there could be a tornado coming up to destroy me,
or a big ton of bricks going to call on my head. Know, in other words I
saying it's just... childishness is not what counts in just letting
things drift. We have a vindicated Message.

25.	Now, he said, "Are we those sons of God apart of whom rebelled
against God? Were we in 	the form of the Pillar of Fire?"

	No, only in the sense if the Pillar of Fire was there which we have no
record of. We have no record of it. And we were in that, because God was
in it. What we have the record of according to Bro. Branham is in the
beginning. He said, "Let us look over the balustrade of time, and we're
looking down below and we see suddenly a Light begin to form." And he
said, "As a child playing around his father's door, the Son of God, the
Anointed One."

	All right, now listen, if you're looking at that, and there wasn't even
an atom, there wasn't even a whisper of wind, there was nothing. No
creation. Then what in the world did that Light form from? It could only
form from God and thereby be a Son of God. And we came the same way
exactly, but we bypassed the form. So in the thoughts of God to became a
record. So that we in our due time as I said in the beginning, down,
down, down, down, down, this one, this one, this one made it, made it,
made it till down here. You were expressed in due season with the proper
attributes in characteristics for this hour. And if you weren't made for
this hour, you could not believe this Message period. Ha! And don't
anybody ever tell you the chaff gets taken up to in the Rapture. Chaff
does not get put into the garner. And the chaff is Pentecost. Now I'm
not against them, God have pity on your soul. If you think I'm fighting,
remember, or trying to pull a deal on, I've got nothing to do with it.
I've never made the cost for this suit, it's a hundred percent wool. A
sheep did it. I'm heir to what the sheep did. I've nothing to do with
that, and the Word of Almighty God per se. I just hope it's got
everything to do with me.

	He said, "But it seems in this case in the form of the word we should
know everything when 	we came on earth."

	See, that's it, you don't. We're aborted to a good end, there's no way
you could do it.

	 "But it seems in Adam had not the form of the spirit until he came on
earth."

	Bro. Branham...that isn't... All right. You look at the facts he made
in His Own image in one place Bro. Branham categorically states that
image, that it was God being Spirit, He has Adam in a spirit form which
you know, male and female spirit was in there, and then He breathed in
the breath of life and He put him in flesh. And Bro. Branham said, "That
was the Holy Ghost." Then he also said, "That Adam fell from the image."
He said many things I cannot put it all together. I just simply can't
tell you. [End of side one of tape] ...human beings sons of Adam and
they marry these daughters which were the Cain line, beautiful woman and
so on.

26.	All right, I think we've got into all of that. Now...and he talks
about these people that have come down, now he says, 

	"So who are these sons of God? Gen 6:2, Bro. Branham thoroughly
explains in Job I'm not 	sure, in Questions and Answers, Bro. Branham
says, "That these sons of God were 	supernatural beings created by God
and it came down from heaven to earth, these spirits, 	those angels were
intended to become human beings" the prophet said.

	Now, the point is this, "intended to become human beings." And what did
he really mean 	about that if they were intended and never became? The
only thing they could do is inhabit 	people. And how are they  going to
inhabit a son of God?" 

	Not going to do it. So you've got a separation here, and just keep them
separate, that's all you want to do is just keep them separate. To have
all the answers I don't.

	"They must be stars cast out with Satan from the heaven on earth. We
know that's true, they 	were cast down, they know adoration, but they
are spirits who rebelled against God we know 	that. This began in the
heaven goes on the earth until judgment, we know that. But the other 
stars are sons of God who resisted Lucifer are the elect who came..."

27.	Now you see, there's the thing that Bro. Branham left very much up
in the air. And they are not Gen 6:2, because he explained it very
thoroughly. That's where he said, "The people in the moderate and the
fundamental doctrines they say that these angels that fell, pressed
themselves into human flesh." And he said, "Lee, (it's right on tape, he
said,) that would make them creators. Absolutely impossible." He said,
"What it is, it's merely those the sons of God, the Adamic line got all
messed us with the serpent seed line." Because the woman were beautiful
and everything else, you know, and they had giants in the land in those
days, men of renown, smart people until the very end of time. Smartest
age in the world right today, and what are they? They are weak, they're
literally senile on the things of God, they know nothing.

	"Now, what you could look at here is when a child is born Bro. Branham
says, "The spirit 	comes in." Now at that particular time could it be
that the fallen angel go to serpent seed, and 	the true angel then which
are like spirits that were intended to be now take on that form?"

	I don't know! All I know is Bro. Branham said, "The soul is the nature
of the spirit giving it an atmosphere."

28.	Now listen, you cannot for one minute say the nature is the thing.
The nature comes from the thing. And the soul being paramount, you
cannot then say that the soul is a nebulous undefined thing called
nature of the spirit, when you and I know jolly well that the spirit is
allowed of God, given of God, but not of God. So then you'd make the
soul subservient to the spirit. Hogwash! No way! The soul gives the
nature to the spirit. Which simply means this, then it's not simply an
aura. It means, look, if you don't have that Word in there, that place
for the Word, and that life does not come to the Word your nature will
never respond according to the Word of God, you'll have some other word
or some other thing. That's why the two-soul doctrine is absolutely
hooey when it comes to the way they teach it. Your old nature's got to
die. 

	Bro. Branham equated nature and soul together because it is true, see,
until you're born again, that which would emanate as from God could not
because until you're born again you cannot receive revelation on that
Word. You may think you can, but you can't, you get all messed up,
because the Holy Spirit was absolutely to you that you might be know the
Word. I hope you're following what I'm saying here.

29.	So all right: 

	"The only way they could ever be is by inhabiting, and whether the good
ones come into us 	as a spirit then respond and are happy, and the other
ones are allowed to come in if possible."

	 I don't know, because I can't find where Bro. Branham became
definitive.

	"They must be the stars cast out and ...?... This began in heaven, but
as for the others sons of 	God resisted Lucifer the elect and in
different periods of time to be real sons of God."

	No, I cannot see that, except as I've already said. 

	"There's a possibility I do not understand that Bro. Branham called
them angels, all those 	angels who were cast out on the earth were
intended to become human beings. The faithful 	angels led by Michael
against the rebel angels led by Lucifer. (Well, we know that to be 
true.) So they were not in the form of thought, but they were already in
the form of the Word 	Logos Spirit." 

	See, no, that cannot be right. Cannot be right, because Bro. Branham
said different in 1965. And one of the major revelations was 'Who is
this Melechisedec?' There's no way you can go back. Remember, your
doctrine received its pure form. And remember, Melechisedec could not be
revealed until adulthood and maturity. And could not be revealed until
headship took control which would be at the end time right there. Not
that it wasn't coming more and more into the church, but remember, full
stature could not could not come till all came, and He is the Word.
You've got to have a full revelation. That's why it takes a revelation
of Him and those things which are in Him.

30.	Okay:

	"When Bro. Branham a soul or a body, heavenly body left his physical
and that he saw 	redeemed beyond time and in particular Sharon Rose, he
said, "As I looked here comes 	thousand times thousands of young men."

	 That doesn't mean millions and millions I don't believe, like he used
the word thousand times thousands. It would be thousands, thousands,
thousands coming. I know in one place he did say millions, it could of
been. I don't know that he was using the absolute truth as to millions
of people, or what he's saying like on the grounds of a man looking at
them and putting a great figure on. I'm not trying to make Bro. Branham
a liar or anything, I'm just saying I don't understand everything that
is said. So I do know one thing, that when you talk a thousand thousand,
you could say, thousands times thousands, it could be one thousand,
another thousand, well that's thousand times thousand, if could be ten
thousand people. It wouldn't be in a hundred million people; or
whatever. That's how your times figure come from. What is two times one
thousand? It's one thousand, one thousand ...?... So you see I'm not
going into roots and things here and ...?... and just looking at it. I
don't know, if ...?... millions that's wonderful. I believe at the end
time there's going to be billions upon this earth that really will be
part of the New Jerusalem and those outside of the New Jerusalem. 

31.	And he said, 

	"Their hair, there were white robes and hair hanging down to the waist,
bare footed running 	right toward me. I thought now what is this, I bit
my finger and said I'm not asleep exactly 	but I could feel."

	"In other words, he was sensate. According to this passage it seems
that Bro. Branham 	possessed the sense of touch whereas it was his soul,
his heavenly body that had left his 	physical body."

	Now, Bro. Branham made a statement concerning soul walking. I don't
understand it. Soul walking is an ancient ...?... where your soul when
you sleep moves out. Don't ask me. He never explained it, so I can't
tell you. When you sleep does your soul leave your body? Perhaps it
does. I don't know. If he said so then it does under certain conditions,
I don't know. So the brother has a right to think this. I don't know.
Because looking at you body is merely nothing, because remember your
spirit animates, Bro. Branham said it's just jerking muscles and nerves
until that spirit comes in, so his soul could be perfectly gone. But the
soul remember is just a seed and got to go back to the body. So
whatever, I can't say too much.

	"According to this passage it seems Bro. Branham possessed the ...?...
He saw physical body 	possesses the senses, but does the soul or
heavenly body possess the same senses?"

	Well, in my... when he's talking about heavenly body I do believe what
he's talking about the fact over here Bro. Branham talked about in 2
Corinthians 5, and It says here,

		(1)	 ...we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were
dissolved, 					we have a building of God, an house not made with hands,
eternal in 					the heavens. 

		(2)	 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with
our 					house which is from heaven:

		(3)	 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

32.	So he tells you right there when you leave here you're not
disembodied you get to another body. Now, Bro. Branham said the word
eternal meant no beginning. Then alright, then whatever, whatever formed
that life proceeding from God designated now by Bro. Branham son of God,
and in him God creating everything, because Bro. Branham brings that
out, then it is absolutely true that if we have a part of God, we
already have within us that which produces of itself that form which we
should have. I said exactly right whether you've got it or not.

 	Now the point is this, that's very possible and that's what you go to.
That's why Bro. Branham said, "You've heard from your theophony." Comes
by rebirth. In other words, what's he saying? Hey, you're  getting to
where you should be. You're getting lined up. Now, this is a deep
philosophy, don't let it bug you, I don't know too much about it, can't
follow too good I'm just talking the best I can talk, and the best I can
do.

33.	Now, let's go to 1 Cor 15:46, and look at the picture. Now what does
Paul say over here? He says,

		(46)	 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is
						natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

		(47) 	The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the
Lord 						from heaven.

		(48)	 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is
the 						heavenly, such are they (are) also heavenly.

		(49) 	And as (we're going to) bear the image of the heavenly.

	Now, above there though It tells you in 43,

		(43) 	It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness; 					it is raised in power: (That's the earthly body and
resurrection.)

		(44) 	It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There
is a 						natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

	Now, I don't believe that this...them necessary was talking of the
spiritual body being your body positively that's in the resurrection. I
believe in here it is possible to see what Bro. Branham took from 2
Corinthians the 5th chapter. Then when we leave here we go to that
other, which is strictly spirit, because God is Spirit. And anything
therefore coming from Him will be spirit, I don't care what form it
takes. I mean you've just got to give yourself up on that one. You see?

34.	Now here, for Bro. Branham... now ...?... concerning what Bro.
Branham felt. Bro. Branham categorically said that there was a feeling
of love as I understand it, ineffable love and glory there. But he said,
"When the women hugged the men there was no physical sensation," which
is there of course, which there must be there in human bodies, and of
course we're talking about sexuality. And he said, "It just wasn't
there." 

	Now remember, he said, "They do not eat, and they do not drink. " They
do not need to. And so they're very anxious to come back to this
physical body glorified, because you see, the plan of God will be
incomplete without it. God being the Resurrection He's got to raise
somebody from the dead. See? Because He said, "I'm the Resurrection and
the Life." And Jesus could only be what was in the Father. You and I can
only be what's in Him, it's going to go back to what He wanted.

	So, Bro. Branham often said, "That the heavenly body will have the same
appearance as the physical body, but will possess none of the outward
senses we've got here on earth." Now, if you're talking the heavenly
body, which Bro. Branham called the theophony which we understand
how...it was something that literally came from that Life that was there
and therefore eternal. Certainly, it would have some of the things which
we call 'sensation' and 'senses', but only in certain areas. Like he saw
there where the dead departed are.

35.	All right.

	"What is the difference between three following bodies: the body of
Elohim coming to 	Abraham in the form of a man?"

	Well, Bro. Branham explained that. He just took some dust, a handful,
blew into it, and he jumped in a body, and then jumped out of the body,
the body went back to the dust. 

	"Jesus' body, Melchisedec's body who ate bread?

	Well, that's it. It was a human body. That just gives you a picture of
the human body. The Bible tells you, don't care about the human body.
Don't worry about that, which destroys the body. Destroys body and soul
in hell. Then He said, "Don't labor for the things that are tomorrow,
eat, drink and taste, touch, sense of smell, but (he said,) labor for
those things that   are from above and lay up treasures." 

	For you see what you're looking at here, when God just...whoosh to a
handful of dust, and here's a human body, jumped in and then jumped out
and go 'shump'. What's the big deal? See, if you want to make something
out of it shows you're still thinking with carnal thinking. I ask you a
question, and let's get this flat: how come that you and I don't get the
baptism with the Holy Ghost before we're born? John the Baptist did and
I'm just as good as he is. You can't answer it can you? 

 	All right, how come the Bible said Peter himself said, "Repent be
baptized everyone in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." [Acts 2:38] And there, down there
in Corinth they received the Holy Ghost and were not baptized in water.
You know God can mess you up so good, just leave you sitting there with
your tongue hanging out like a boot, you know, the tongue of a boot.
Only the tongue of a boot is smarter, knows how to shut up. See, you
can't figure these things, just leave it. You don't even need to figure
it, just let it be. Man I don't care two bits about it.  

36.	Now, the next thing is: "That Jesus' body of flesh came to a woman."

	All right. Bro. Branham categorically said, "Mary supplied nothing but
the chemistry. She was an incubator." She was more than incubator. She
was a chemical factory that did not provide any life, but she provided
the sustenance. So therefore Jesus in my books and the Bible tells you
it's different from your body and mine. Hebrews 2nd chapter says, "He
took only a part of it." Didn't take it all, there's no way He could of
taken it all and been the Son of God. No way he could he of gone as part
serpent flesh. No way, no way, no way. No way.

	So what is it here? It could be that He is even different from Adam,
because He is that Lord from heaven. And remember in theology, you in
doctrine you have what is known as the federal headship of Adam, the
federal headship of Jesus. But what they miss out in the federal
headship of Adam they think everybody came from Adam when everybody
didn't. Everybody came from Eve, and even science knows that now. So
there you are.  

37.	So okay. 

	"But these three bodies of flesh coming from the dust of the ground
were destine to grow old 	for the earth is cursed."

	Well, they were destined but you see, there's such a thing as
predestination in what we know as destiny. In other words, in normal
course you cannot go by normal course of nature, because God is above
it. And though light may travel in a straight line God can bend it
anytime He wants to bend it. Just like John the Baptist was born with
the Holy Ghost, so you want to get angry you can get angry it wouldn't
do you any good.

	You say, "Well, that just proves it, I can't outguess God, I'm not the
smartest I thought I was." And if God wants His ways He's going to get
it. So it's far better to believe a vindicated prophet, but don't take
it too far in the sense in what you don't understand. If we don't
understand we leave it alone.

38.	Now he said, 

	"For the earth is cursed, on the other hand our soul which is part of
the Pillar of Fire, (part of 	what was in the Pillar of Fire, part of
God,) is a heavenly body from that very point of life 	which is of God,
it gets its own depository, (just like the egg and the sperm, just got
its own 	body through Mary there,) it's got no age and can't grow old."

	Well, that's true it never does, that's why it's eternal. Eternal as
Almighty God is.

	"Since God formed Adam through direct creation and all other men came
by His attributes, 	we're supposed to be brought to life in this way
without using women otherwise God would 	of made a mistake using another
means then the first time to bring men to life."

	Well, that's very true, but you see you've got to realize once more
that Bro. Branham said, "That Eve caused an interruption." And the
interruption is simply this as Bro. Branham says in 'Marriage and
Divorce', "God," he said, "will create again not through sex. No, but He
Himself will take the elements that were in our body, " he said, "the
comic light, the potash and all these other things and bring them
together by a Resurrection."

	So, ...?... what was stopped there in the interruption comes back
finally, and there will be a few people standing here like there was
Enoch and Elijah who will be translated by the very fact that Adam was
supposed to go to the Tree of Life.

	Oh yes, oh yes he was and ...?... at being interrupted, now proving God
perfect Alpha, Omega, Heb 13:8, absolutely we're going to have a few
people here at the end time. 

39.	"Before the fall I don't think animals were using sex to multiply.
This way of doing is a 	consequence of Eve's sin, has God forbade human
creatures to take of this knowledge would 	of been in His will and
animals used the way of multiplying? After the Millennium is there 
going to be any procreation concerning animals, insect, fish? Is there
not going to be a certain 	number of animals created by God and that's
all?" 

	Now, that's a question I don't know. As Bro. Branham said concerning
whether there will be children in the Millennium or not he said,
"Sometimes it looks like it is, sometimes like it's not." But he said,
"If I ever find out I'll tell you." And he told me previous to that, he
told me in May when he answered that question in August that because,
"One shall build, another not inhabit. One shall sow, another not
reap.[sounds like eat] Plant not reap." He said, "There wouldn't be."

40.	Now, concerning this question, again we want to look at the fact.
Absolutely everything was there for procreation concerning the flesh. It
was there. But remember, in the beginning the Bible distinctly says,
"Let the earth bring forth. Let the earth bring forth. Let the water
bring forth. Let the water bring forth."

	And I'm going to tell you something, water and ground doesn't bring
forth anything, it takes life to take the water and the ground to do it.
So therefore they were already there in that particular form the same as
the seeds were already there.

	Now what does that mean? It simply means when the fall came then
positively every single thing, because they had the appurtenances  there
already. Which is, Bro. Branham said concerning Adam and Eve, "they
would of come to it eventually." Then so would these of come to it
eventually under the strict ordination of the Holy Ghost Himself.

41.	"Now, what about the Millennium?" 

	Well, I simply believe in the Millennium God's going to call back Bro.
Branham's horse and bunch of horses and no doubt there will be enough
land mass because it's only one/sixth of the earth is...of the globe is
land, five/sixth is water, so by the ...?... time who know what's all
going to come back?

	 "And will there be procreation?  (Well alright, let look at it this
way,) could there be 	amongst the animals on the ground of trees are
going to procreate, and the plants are going  	to procreate. Who said
there wouldn't be?" 

	I don't know, I leave that all to God. I don't have the answer. I only
know the Millennium is the place of further sanctification. That's where
you'll find out 'be happy'. Yep! Be happy. And I'm very happy and hope
you are too.

42.	"Where are the glorified saints of the Old Testament?"

	I haven't got a clue, but they're somewhere in the dimension. They're
there in their glorified and they're eating, I bet you...oh man alive,
eating without hernias, belching and every... you think one minute
they're not having good food? You've got to be ridiculous. Just because
it's in the dimension you can't even see the air unless there's so much
smog in here, or I've eaten too much garlic...which I haven't, I'm just
kidding, I threw that in for the fun of it. Hey, come on, there's lots
of things you don't see. Hey, if I had a television set right now and
plugged it in and we had ...?... on the ...?... you'd see what's coming
in the room like Bro. Branham said.

43.	"In the 'Future Home of the Heavenly Bridegroom', Bro. Branham
speaks of the pyramid 	which is whose sides is twenty two hundred
kilometers, fifteen hundred miles high, believe 	this since it's said by
the prophet, but it's ...?... height."  

	Absolutely, and I think it's going to be terraced and contoured,
absolutely fantastic. Bro. Branham even diagramed from Jeffersonville
how it would fit on the North American continent. Right? Okay.

44.	 "Where are we going to be during the Millennium and after the earth
explodes?"

	I myself, as Bro. Branham made a statement something about being caught
away. My own understanding, and I'm not saying Bro. Branham said this. I
just put it this way: we're caught up to the Throne of God wherever that
is and protected by Him while everything goes up in smoke, and comes
down perfect. And, you know, we're going to be explosion proof anyway.
I've often said, "One glorified man could turn this world upside down in
fifteen minutes."

	You know, people think what Gorbachev is doing is great, and I think
it's great, I think he's a wonderful man for this hour and this age. I
appreciate the fellow and I appreciate what's going on. But I want to
tell you, one resurrected person could make Gorbachev look like...well
nothing, you'd have to get a microscope and a mighty high powered one to
do it to pick him up. He could detonate every bomb, he could drive
anybody crazy. We could build kingdoms, shee, just wait for it. Ah, let
her explode as long as long as we come back and... let him even come to
the Millennium. You get ...?... to the Millennium, I ain't going to care
two-bits from that point on.

45.	All right. "What can we think of  1977, fourteen years later and of
the state of the USSR. I 	thank God that I've got ...

	All right, I only know this one thing that Bro. Branham said positively
to us, "Don't think anything of Communism." He said, "It is nothing." He
said, "Remember (he said,) antichrist is a religious person." And we're
talking about a religious system which goes into politics worldwide, and
he said, "Don't you think anything of it, (he said,) leave it be,
because there's nothing to it, it's a bluff and so on."  And we found it
is. But remember, he also said, "America," his last vision was the world
in grater, and he said, "We've got a bomb from Russia with our name on
it and so has the Vatican and America is going to get it."

	For what does that mean? What do I think about the Soviet Union now?
I'm going to tell you something, do you think for one minute those
nations that have fragmented from the big boys that they are going to
give back those nuclear war-heads? I've got a hunch they'll just put
them out there somewhere, and when the right time comes, and the right
guy wants to rise up like Sadam tried to do it and they nailed him down
and he was so close to the bomb one more year, launches, everything. Why
if those guys...if one person gets in power, anybody can die and be
bumped off and a guy get in power and he can just at the right time just
release those bombs... Hey, we've got bombs going to hit us, may God get
us out of here. It's up to us in a limited sense of the word. You know,
if we're not seed, hey, ...?... if we're not seed we're not going to
come out of the ground for the Millennium, and we're not going to
blossom into immortality if we're not seed. But if we are seed, nothing
is going to stop us. Nothing can. Especially the Elect seed. And
remember, the very Elect do not get deceived. And that's the thing this
brother is looking at we look over here in America, these people run
around deceiving people taking undue authority, say, "Follow me, watch
me."

46.	How in the world can I look at anybody, listen to anybody when I've
been with that man? I could name you names where people thought, "Oh Lee
Vayle served a prophet, wrote the books and everything else, literally
licked his feet if he wanted. Oh I'll get Lee to follow me." And they
found out it didn't work. One guy tried to get me and he didn't even
believe what we believe.

	And he said, "What did he say Bro. Vayle?" He said, "God doesn't smear
His prophets across the road." He thought he's smart.

	I said, "He fed them to the lions and they were dung on the ground.
Don't talk to me." I've never to the bird since. If you think I'm tough
with you here, don't ...?... on me Bro. Branham. I'm not a dentist, but
I'll pull his teeth with a four by four. [laughter] I'm not a doctor, so
I'll take out his tonsils with a six inch lead pipe. I'm just kidding.
You know what I mean.

	Hey look, if this isn't vindicated, this is not real. You tell what is?
But you better produce, because I've seen what none of you have seen,
and I'm before the White Throne telling you. You don't believe that like
I believe it. I do. When I find day by day I believe it more and more.

	Let's rise and be dismissed. Kind heavenly Father we want to tell You
again how we appreciate and love You for your goodness and mercy to us,
Your great grace Lord God, where if You've wooed us to Yourself. And we
looking now through this glass that has been unveiled to us into the
Word, see these wonderful mysteries which would absolutely destroy
people of lesser birth, not that we think of ourselves are of any birth,
but the birth that comes from You Lord. To see these things and be
allowed to look into them and know from before the foundation of the
world these great mysteries which Bro. Branham brought to us concerning
predestination, election and all of these things that are so marvelous.
And to believe them and be happy with them, whereas so many would be
stumbled and they never seen what Paul said, "Concerning for this cause
have I raised thee up that I might show My power in Me." 

	Oh no, they can't even take that. How can they take these other things?
But Lord, we know that You've allowed by Your Spirit this understanding
to be within us and where it is lacking oh God. And if we're
presumptuous Father, forgive us that we may be not just a part of the
Word, but completely in tuned with the Word and see that great day fast
approaching Lord, the Resurrection and immortality which is already come
upon us. For Bro. Branham said, "We are in the Resurrection." We
certainly are, there is no two ways about it. I mean this is just true,
and Lord God, may it be so impressed upon us that we walk as men in the
Resurrection. 

	As Bro. Branham said, little piece of paper his son Joe found in the
desk, "What manner of men we ought to be, how we ought to live, so as to
meet our loves ones in the Resurrection." Knowing that this is the hour
of the Resurrection, we're in It.

	Now, let us see those loved ones, and of course we know those loved
ones are absolutely those that are loved with You. We know that that's
where the love goes, that's where it's all going more and more Lord, and
how wonderful to walk in the Light as You're in the Light and have
fellowship one with another the Blood of Jesus Christ, God's son
cleansing us all and we in fellowship in tune with each other.

	Help us Lord to continue and we give You the glory in Jesus' Name we
pray. Amen.

	'Take the Name of Jesus with you'.
