Redemption by the Blood # 2 

[Note: audio tape quality very poor, many words not clear throughout the
message]  

Bro. Lee Vayle - May 9, 1976

	Kind heavenly Father, we look to You for Your goodness and mercy to us,
we know You show us mercy by bringing us together, bind us to come,
Lord, giving help and strength coming distances, and giving wisdom
protecting them, we appreciate that very much. Above all, Lord, we
appreciate that You are here in Your abiding Presence, the Holy Spirit
here to teach us, lead us, guide us to show the things of Almighty God.
We're here, Lord, because of that life …?... We're grateful for it,
and just pray that that life may not be obscured by flesh, but may the
flesh get out of the way, Your true glory manifested, Lord, by the
revealed Word.

	Now, we humbly ask you to open the Word to us. May It not be the words
of a man, but may It be Your Word, because of the Holy Spirit giving us
what is exactly the truth that You meant it for this hour. So, Lord, we
look to You now for that consolation and faith that is ours. We're
growing up into You into the very Head, and we accept that, Lord, this
morning, not by works of righteously done, or anything else. But by
grace extended through the Blood of Jesus Christ, we just thank You for
it now in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. You may be seated.

1.	I was just thinking kind of like last night how that I've been kind
of coming here off and on since '64, and it just struck my mind that
this building here was here already waiting for you. And I thought that
I think that Bro. Hobart(?) here ...?... was pretty well more
instrumental than anybody, and the work that was in this area and other
part of Texas. Then Bro. …?... Green I guess was very instrumental in
building this building. I thought how strange it is that every time a
person builds a building they have a big service and they dedicate the
building and they sincerely say, now Lord, this is your building, and
they want you to have it, the Word to be here. It's all dead, they
organize, and somebody comes and takes over, it becomes a booby-trap.

	But you know that really happened to this building. That's very
strange. Even the building that was dedicated to God was accepted by
God, because here it is for Texas for an end time vindicated ministry.
It's pretty hard to find a church like that. I know there are a few of
them, but very, very few. And we're grateful that this is one church,
and I'm going to talk about the building now, and also the church
people, because you come in here, we're very grateful that this happened
in your case. It also makes us very grateful that brother here Osher(?)
a real man of God, Bro. Green who was able to do these things. And so if
something likely come to church, and we thank the Lord for the death of
Jesus that opened the door. And we also thank the Lord that  the
meritorious works of Christ in these men's lives, and it's been shown
right here today. Here we are listening and praising God.

2.	God's people should always be grateful, (you know) that's something I
guess that we haven't learned too well. Even the world knows that we
should always be grateful, and always happy. Not just happy for
ourselves but happy for each other. As the Bible says, "If some good
thing happens in the body, the whole body rejoices." [1 Cor 12:36]That's
just like (you know) this is 'Mother's Day' of course, not Easter Day,
but the old day (you know) when they celebrated Easter with 'put on your
Easter bonnet'. Mama would come to church with a nice Easter bonnet, I'm
sure the whole body rejoices because it had a head on it. You know, and
like a woman gets a ring from a man, the whole body rejoices. That the
whole ring on whatever finger you put it on. I guess it …?... one.
[Bro, Vayle chuckles] You know, the whole body rejoices. And you know,
you get a sliver in your finger, and I've had some doozers in my day,
I'm about one of the most unfortunate guy to get slivers. Man I fell one
time and I got a big old rotten sliver in here, and the doctor was nice
I guess. At the very root he took those flat …?... and probed and
probed and I was just screaming inside. Man it was rough. He never got
that thing out. Swelled up and it got worse, I put a poultice on, one
day …?.... a major sliver came out.

 	I'm going to tell you something, that might have been maybe trouble
…?... to here that has a sliver. But from the top of my head to the
end of my toes I ached. You know. And that what Paul was trying to tell
us we're members of each other. You know we haven't left that sunk in.
If God just showed me just one thing, that's what I'd want to see. And
that's one thing that I want to see. I'm at this point. [Bro. Vayle
laughs] I've been modified, I might have wanted to see something else,
but I see this.  You know, I don't know that we can see everything at
one time. And this is what I really want to see, and it'll do my spirit
so much good. And I trust the spirit's of other people.

3.	Now, we're going to continue this morning talking about proving by
His Resurrection what Christ accomplished by His death. And we'll sort
of review a little bit, but last night I emphasized, emphasized,
emphasized in order to remold your thinking in a little way, and also 
to add to your thinking by emphasis in that idea. Not taking from any
other facet, but just this one facet. (See?) The Resurrection has many
facets, you know that as well as I do. But the one facet that I feel
that is so necessary, is to bring out the simplicity of an end time
Message.

	Now, we're going to continue by reading Acts 2:22-32, (we just read It,
it was yesterday, and we read It again now.  

		(22) 	(You) men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man 
					approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, 					
which God did by him in the midst of you, as (you) yourselves 						also
know:

	And we showed you last night that he said, "Look, you know that this
man was vindicated approved of God, he was the one that you listen to.
And if he was that one, then whatever else happened in that person's
life, is also from God." And this is what Peter's saying:

		(23) 	Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge 					of God, (you) have taken, and by wicked hands have
crucified…  

	He's trying to get this across to them. And here His Coming is
absolutely Word vindicated. Then what are you doing by not watching,
watching, watching, watching, knowing it's all of God, or it's nothing
of God. If the thing can break down after the first death, it never was
of God. To me it'll get it right on the nose. He said, "If this thing is
of God, there's nothing to stop it. And if it's not of God, it'll drop
dead right after a Shout is over. And he said,

		(23)	…(and you) by wicked hands have (taken and) crucified and slain
						him.

4.  Then that would have to be of God. (See?) That would have to be of
God. I don't care how funny it looks, I don't care how crazy it looks, I
don't care how wretched it looks: the fact is that Bro. Branham was
almost smeared across the road, ripped up in a car, doesn't alter one
thing, though men jump up and  down, just like they did here. And said,
"We got rid of that false prophet."

	Now look, if he was of God in the first place, he was of God in the
second place, the third place, the fourth place, the fifth place, and
the tenth place right down the line. Remember, that Saul was never
approved of God by vindication. It was David who was. (See?) Just keep
your wires straight.  I'm putting very high importance on what's happen
these days. And It says:

		(24)	Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death:
because 					it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

	Do you realize what that is saying here? That Jesus Christ could not be
held by death. Absolutely impossible. He couldn't be held. 

5.	Now:

		(25) 	For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always
before					 my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be
moved:

	See, two things are involved in this fact, that death couldn't hold
Him. First of all, there was no way that death could hold Him. It was
absolutely sinless. And secondly, It was foretold by the Word, and the
Word of God cannot be bound. There is nothing will stop the Word being
fulfilled. Now:

		(26) 	Therefore my heart did rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover
					also my flesh shall rest in hope:

		(27) 	Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither…suffer
thine 						Holy One to see corruption.

	Remember, the soul was in hell, they thought He went to the grave, the
spirit that God gave Him went back to God. I don't say that He had His
Own spirit went back to God. But the spirit that God gives is not a
human spirit that's allowed of God. The Spirit that God gives is Holy
Spirit . And I think that's right according to what Bro. Branham taught,
because he said that spirit is allowed of God. (See?) 

6.	Now:

		(28) 	Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me 
					full of joy with thy countenance.

	He's made known to me the ways of life. What was the way of life? By
death. Does the corn of wheat fall on the ground …?... (See?) The way
he's speaking here the way of life, and Peter is trying to show them
what that way of life is. And they couldn't countenance the death of
Christ in it.

		(29) 	Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you the patriarch
David, 					that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with
us unto 						this day. (As a memorial)

		(30) 	Therefore being a prophet, knowing that God had sworn with an 		
			oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh,
he 						would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

		(31) 	He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that
his 						soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see
corruption.

		(32) 	This Jesus hath God raised up,… (this Jesus, not some other
Jesus.)

 	This is the One, approved vindicated of God, and you killed him, and
that was of God, and the raising up was of God, and now we see the
manifestation.

		(33) 	Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having 			
		received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed 			
		forth this, which (you) now see and hear.

7.	An absolute manifestation of the Resurrection. Acts 3:9-18. (This is
the man that's healed at the Gate Beautiful.)   

		(9) 	And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

		(10) 	And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful
						gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement
					at that which had happened unto him.

		(11) 	And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John,…

 	I like that old boy, he had more on the ball than anybody did. He held
onto Peter and John. With God the people would have held on to William
Branham, but they wouldn't do it. 

		(11)	…(and) all the people ran together unto them in the porch that
is 						called 	Solomon's, greatly wondering.

		(12) 	And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, (You) men of
					Israel, why marvel (you) at this?...( you can see in his faith)…

	He said, "You can see his faith. Do you think that God would do what
Jesus, because you killed Him?" Now, that was part of it. What are you
trying to tell me anyway? (See?) Oh my. One look at …?... as though by
our own power or holiness. Didn't say it wasn't power or holiness, It
said,

		(12)	… own power or holiness…(who that) made this man to walk?

		(13) 	The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our 	
				fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom (you) delivered up, and 
				denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to 				
	let him go.

		(14) 	But (you) denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a
murderer 					to be granted unto you;

		(15) 	And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the
dead; 					whereof we are witnesses. 

	And here it is, witnessing once again, you're seeing it.

		(16) 	And (Jesus') name through faith in (Jesus') name hath made this
man 					strong, whom (you) see and know: yea, the faith which is
(through 						Jesus) by him (from Jesus) hath given him this perfect
soundness 						in the presence of you all.

		(17) 	And now, brethren, I (know) that through ignorance (you) did it,
as 					 did also your rulers.

	I wonder, how many people there fulfilling the will of God and …?...?
Most, most. Few by revelation are in it. 

		(18) 	But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of
all 					his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

		(19) 	Repent therefore, and be converted, (get full of the Holy Ghost
so) 						that your sins may be blotted out,…

8.	Now, we're well aware that Israel could not by being blind, (because
Jesus said they were blind) and they will not by refusing the testimony,
they wouldn't listen; and therefore never                    did
identify Jesus as the fulfillment of Isaiah 53: they never saw Him as
the Messiah. They categorically refused any thought of a human sacrifice
as means of atonement for sin, you understand in ignorance they could
well do that. They refused to accept any doctrine of suffering …?...
they called it a national spirit upon the earth, because of their sins
of disobedience. They would not tell them Jesus' revelation what the
Kingdom truly was, which is not of this world. That's why He couldn't
have a fight for it and all, and only the meek would inherit it.

	Many like Nicodemus recognized that the supernatural ministry of Jesus
was of God, but Israel under His Priesthood refused to accept that
ministry as proof that He was the Messiah  though indeed it was the
fruit, because He was accepted of God, vindicated. Jesus implored them
to believe the works, and then search the Scriptures to find if indeed
He was fulfilling the Word as was in fact that Messiah. But they refused
Him, and they killed Him. 

	Now, after Pentecost, in the First Church Age we see the very birthly
ministry of Christ once again amongst the people proving the
Resurrection of Jesus from the dead, which in turn proved that He was
indeed the Messiah.

9.	And so Peter said, as well as do all others follow along in the
testament, Peter stresses that Jesus was indeed the Christ, that He was
the Messiah ordained of God, that He died exactly as Peter interpreted
the Scripture concerning himself will all the law and the prophet. And
that He rose from the dead, (just like He said) and he showed them,
(Peter showed them) that the miracle ministry and the Bride now manifest
amongst the people was proving that Jesus is alive from the dead, and It
was He who was performing in His resurrection the same works that He did
before His death. Because they said  look, "Don't look on us as though
we were doing." The same power that did it in Him when He was on earth,
is the same power doing it in Him now that He's raised from the dead, we
are just here men standing by. (See?)  

	Now, and this …?... was proving that Jesus of Nazareth did die
according to Scripture, and that in His death God accomplished His plan
of redemption, because we saw that God was satisfied. Thus we see the
great Resurrection of ministry of Jesus, which proved he arose. Is
actually God's verification that Jesus died according to the Scripture
and fulfilled the first big plan of God's redemption for Israel and the
Gentiles. And you can find that throughout the Pauline epistles. I could
stop right here and go on to the next, the Scripture after Scripture
reading in the Book of Galatians and Hebrews is what I'm dealing with
right now. (See?) 

10.	   Now, Christ's Resurrection proven, in other words, whatever is
proven is itself the guarantee of the entire Word of God being fulfilled
for our redemption. (See?) Now, that's what this is all about. And it
never changes. If God did not raise Jesus, then Jesus would not have
been the true Redeemer. He would not have been Messiah, but God raised
Him and proved Him to be the Savior of the world.

	And so Peter said, "These supernatural manifestations of the Holy
Ghost, is the proof that God raised that man who you killed." This
proved  His death was scriptural, and that God accepted that death. This
in turn proved that Jesus was that One who should come, and that He died
exactly as He said He would, to fulfill exactly what was necessary to be
fulfilled, then it was fulfilled. There's nothing anybody can do about
it, except to reveal it under some condition. (See?) 

	Now, you can realize how strong that was to the Jews, because you see,
they just couldn't swallow that in the light that they would be the
first traitors that murdered, that killed the very Messiah they're
looking for. And it's like Peter saying, "Listen Jews, this man died
according to the Scripture." [Correction] He's right with Jesus said.
Here is the proof He died. Here's the proof that He died right here
according to Scripture.

11.	So, in Him are the Scripture fulfilled that you are longing to see
fulfilled for your redemption. Now, that's true. And he first that he
throws the dead out, "Will you accept His death for you as based on the
present truth that lies before you, and receive your redemption?" 

	Now, said, "Will you receive your form of redemption as revealed
according to the vindicated Word?"  Now, that's a good one right there,
because it was a vindicated Word. …?... You've got to listen to
receive redemption according to vindicated Word. Now, very few did,
accept the death even when the Resurrection proved it out. They didn't,
what's three thousand, five thousand, a few more thousand among
millions. Nothing, see, well it's something, but you know what I'm
talking about. 

12.	But notice, today we are in the midst of going through the very same
things. We're in the midst of Luke 17:26-30. 

		(26) 	And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the
days of 						the Son of man.

		(27) 	They (ate,) they drank, …(and so on.)

	You notice here that Jesus is speaking concerning His Own personal
return. And He said there will be a repeat of the days of Noah, which
meant there will be a prophet. There would be a cleansing by a flood,
but not by water this time, it's going to be by the fire. There is a
Sodom condition, and a Gomorrah  condition, after which would refer to
the terrible sexual excess and perversion of the people. Noah's day
referred to the Laodicean conflict, eating, buying, selling, "Who needs
anything, we've got it made, everything is wonderful." That's a marriage
for you. And then you've got the other perversions over in the other two
places. 

	But notice, It says, "As it was in the days of Noah." In other words,
as it was there, the days, or the experience's of Noah, would be in the
land, so the very days, or the experience's, (because that's what the
Greeks calls it, the experiences) would be in the land at the same time
ahead of Jesus Christ's Coming.

13.	Now, you know, we drawn that out in Acts 3:19, where It says there's
going to come a time, "when times of refreshing, (a revival) will come
from the Presence of the Lord."  Which refers to the fact that anything
visible to the eye, which was a mighty miracle Jesus did. For He stood
before the …?... of death. "If I had not done the mighty works that no
other man did, you have not sinned. But now you have both seen and hated
both Me and My Father." [Jn 15:24] (See?) They turned down what could be
seen of God.

	And He said, "In the day of a Sodom condition there was going to be a
prophet who will stand in the stead of Jesus Himself, because Noah does
not return in his flesh, and neither does Jesus return in His flesh." It
is that Spirit that he's talking about. So there will be a manifestation
of a prophet in the end time, crying out, "It's all over."  Well, you
know that's Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6. …?... said there's got to be a
physical manifestation of the tremendous ministry to vindicate the
fulfilled Word of redemption.  (See?) 

	Now, here he's saying …?... and then It says in [Luke 17:] verse 30,
"Even thus it will be, in the days when the Son of man is revealed. In
other words, once more there's going to be a dynamic revelation of Him,
Who is that Redeemer according to Scripture. Because the Scripture is
involved. If you take one step toward manifestation outside of Him
involved with the Scripture, you will kill yourself right there.  You
can't do otherwise. I haven't got time to preach the little sermon on
…?... that's the thought.

14. Now, the time of refreshing  shall come from that which is visible
to God, this great ministry. Then It says, "Jesus Christ can come back
to earth."  But he said this, "Remember, remember that there will not be
here to return. Even though the ministry is there until the Word is
restored. What is said in the mouth of all the prophets concerning
redemption must be fulfilled before you, so you can see the Son of man
completely revealed in redemption."

	Because remember, that Jesus was only the Lamb potentially. He was the
Son of man. Even though John said, "Behold the Lamb of God," Remember,
Jesus did not say, "Behold the Lamb of God" concerning Himself, but
always He referred Himself as the Son of man, which was the Prophet. And
It was that fulfilled Word that was going to be crucified, and that Word
became human flesh. And that way He was the  'Son of man', that was He
was also the 'Lamb'. 

15.	Now, before this risen  Christ, the Lamb of God can come back in His
Own glorified flesh, which we spoke of last night, there must be
absolutely a Message go forth. There has got to be the revealed Word.
And this time It will not be only to the Cross, It'll be redemption
carried from before the foundation of the world, all the way to the very
end. 

	That man has got to start before there was a speck of stardust, and by
this revelation puts us right in New Jerusalem. Now, I'm sorry, but
that's the way it's got to be, because that's exactly the Bible
speaking. All the Word revealed concerning redemption, because we're
talking about redemption. Never let that get away from your mind. 

16.	It's so simple like I said last night, I go to the library, I want
to get a book on how to raise dogs. I open the book and the book says,
when the pussy-cat is two days old, you feed it a little milk. When the
pussy-cat is four days old a little chop-liver. Pussy-cat is six days
old, give it some fish.  I say, "What have I got in there? This is no
book on dogs, it's a book on cats." 

	Now, why are people trying to read into this record other than
redemption? Very good question. I don't expect any answers. I'm just
baffled myself. "Why do we read into it, something that's not there?
(See?) 	

	Now, this prophet will do it, and we know he certainly does. Now, what
prophet will he be? He's going to be the prophet spoken of in Acts 3,
according to Deuteronomy 18. And in there last night we saw two
prophets. One Jesus Himself, Who didn't say 'Thus saith the Lord'. Who
said, "Verily, I say unto you." It was the first Person God in human
flesh. 

	But the prophet, below those verses going to verse 18, he's the man you
got to check out.  "How do we know we're to hear this man, and fear this
man?"  

17.	 Well, I'll tell you, it's simple a ABC, he's got 'Thus saith the
Lord'.  "Thus saith the Lord, tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. Thus
saith the Lord, I'm telling you right now, Mussolini will invade
Ethiopia, it'll fall in his step, but he himself will come to a very
tragic and embarrassing end." Then he said, "There's a man Hitler,
there's a man Stalin, watch the three 'ism'. (See?) Watch for the
destruction over there, the third world war, that's what's going to
happen, the Siegfried line." Right down the line. Here's a prophet, did
it come to pass? It was 'Thus saith the Lord'. 

	Now is the time that it came to pass, then the Scripture identifies
him, "Hear him and fear him." If not, let me tell you one thing, you
think for one minute when Billy Paul took that little… when he saw his
dad with the little toupee he had to put on to keep his head from
getting too cold. And Billy said, "I’m going to get a beetle wig," and
began dancing, you know, like a moker being funny. And Bro. Branham
turned to go to his room lest his own son perish in his presence. 

	"Oh, God wouldn't do that." Who are you trying to kid? Then why was
Ananias and Sapphira destroyed denying the Holy Ghost? I'm going to tell
you something brothers, any man foolish should love Bro. Branham, any
man not fearing him will pay suffering. Not because I say and because  I
love him and had something to do with him. No, that isn't it at all, I
was always sincere and respective concerning that man, I always will be.

	And anybody that believes this Message, or have I think some kind of a
touch from God will be the same way. I think that's one reason why this
building is right here today. Yes sir, it may not be just everybody
might not see exactly what we see. But just let's not throw off on
anybody. (See?) 

18.	Now, back here It says, "That man with, 'Thus saith the Lord' he's
the man at the end time under who utter destruction comes." Why? Because
when William Branham left this earth it was just one thing left, the
Word to be fulfilled in the Bride, that Word left us. And as soon as
that's done, the Rapture takes place. Moses and Elijah come and opens
the Sixth devastating Seal, which is literally murder shock, murder
shock, destruction, destruction till the whole thing's over. And one
final call, they kill the two, and after three days, God raises them up
as a mighty witness, all over, and then Fire comes down.

	Never think brother/sister this Word of God doubts. I'm going to tell
you, I live on all of those things the prophet said when I preach, and
that's this: "Once you see this Message, that's all you'll ever see."  I
can be criticized a Branhamite, praise God, I'm not the least
embarrassed. 

19.	Now, the Resurrection ministry of Jesus is based on 'Thus saith the
Lord' once again proves and this time to the Gentiles, first to Israel,
now to the Gentiles, Who it is that is the Redeemer. Oh, why must that
be done? Can't you guess? What …?... the Lamb today? Trinity doctrine.
Trinity doctrine. There is no three gods, that is my Redeemer
brother/sister. One God. God, Holy Spirit, Jehovah, El Elah, Elohim, the
Strong One bound by an oath. He Himself my Redeemer in human flesh.
Jesus becoming the Blood of God, by God reducing Himself to a creature
form, because God cannot die. Yet now in this body He will die. (See?)
Having to be unveiled.

	Now listen, it proves that He died, His Resurrection proved amongst us.
Remember, how long Bro. Branham stood before the people and proved the
Resurrection of Jesus? He said, "I don't know if He'll come, we'll ask
Him to come, and then said, He's here." Now, he said, "He's the same
yesterday, today and forever, and He is risen from the dead, He will do
the same thing."

	But he didn't just say, "Resurrection  …?..., (he said) if He is
risen from the dead, then He'll do the same thing." Now, if you capture
Peter, those words, read iI again. Because Alpha is Omega. I could
scream right now, I know screaming that just makes me feel good. Doesn't
do anything for you, so I'll scream inside somehow, that God should
prove Himself once more, a hundred percent contrary and different, a
hundred percent absolutely one with Scripture nothing contrary. He said,
"Which of you (He said) can find me off on one Word?"  (See?) Couldn't
find one Word off. "Which of you could show I didn't fulfill one thing?"

20.	Now, and we know that His death accomplished perfect redemption
before God, by the fact that God raised Him and proved to us that He is
indeed raised. God accepted that sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of the
world, "For God so loved the world, He gave His Only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him (perishing himself) should not perish, but
have everlasting life." [Jn 3:16]  But the churches of the world refuses
it, "and they hath put Him out and crucified to themselves the Son of
God afresh." [Heb 6:6] But now we won't go any further than that.

	So, we want to try to see the perfect redemption that lies in the
proven sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, which was by the shedding of
the Blood of Jesus through crucifixion. We want to see what is ours,
because He died we want to know, we want to see what His death has done
for us.

21.	And we're going to do that by first of all going to the Book of
Hebrews 9:11-17,  

		(11)	But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a
						greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is 
					to say, not of this building;

		(12) 	Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood
he 						entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
redemption 					for us. (Because we already had eternal life, and were
separated.)

		(13) 	For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer
sprinkling 					the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

		(14) 	How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal
						Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience 
					from dead works to serve the living God?

	In other words, we're not trying another way to get there, this is
live.

		(15) 	And for this cause (see? how does perfection involve he's) the 	
				mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the 					
redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, 		
		they which are called might receive the promise of eternal
inheritance.

	And remember, go back to the very first, the very first testament,
"Don't eat this fruit and live," eat it and you'll die, and he died.
Everyone from Adam is going on, just don't take this back to Moses, take
it back to Adam. You got to go all the way back, because he didn't start
dying with Moses. He started dying with Adam.

		(16) 	For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the
death 						of the testator.

		(17) 	For a testament is… of force after men are dead: otherwise it
is 						of no strength at all while the testator liveth. 

22.	Now, the word we're examining is 'testament'. Under nt condition can
it be translated as covenant in the English sense of the word. I
didn’t say 'any sense', I said the 'English sense' of the word, modern
language. A covenant is an agreement, or a contract that is carried out
by two or more living men. Verse 16 proves it.

		(16) 	For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the
death 						of the testator. 

		(17)	For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it…
(doesn't				 	have any force whatsoever it is …?...) 

	What is it then? It is exactly as speaketh, where there is a will, a
legal instrument of  bequeathing property, where there is a will, the
promise of an inheritance, the promise of a legacy, the living
possessor, or provider of that legacy must first die. He must first die.
Any inheritor who expects to receive an inheritance from the compiler
know that the compiler of the inheritance must die. And when he dies, he
is able to partake of that which was compiled.

23.	 So, here we learn what Israel refused to learn, even thought the
Scripture was prevalent with it. The death of Christ is the only given
means, or waiting to bring about the promised Word of God into actual
and demonstrating effect. Man possessing God's legacy, or fortune, or
kingdom (see?) getting back to God. Back to Eden and past Eden depended
on Christ, the Blood of God dying, and in His death bequeathing the
legacy and insuring his allocation.  

	Now, there is no mystery at all through him, not whatsoever. A man may
be a fortunate individual if he has the ability to accumulate vast
wealth. And the Scripture is full of it. Such as Jacob having wealth.
Isaac having wealth, Abraham having great wealth. Nothing wrong with it,
Job had great wealth. Now, the point is these men have the ability to
gather up large tracks of land, large sums of money. Vast holdings of
real-estate, stocks and bonds. 

	Now, what he does he knows there's coming a day when he's going to die.
So, what does he do? He calls in the lawyer, and according to the law of
the land he draws up an iron clad will, wherein he allocates exactly
everything, and how he wants it given to those who will inherit his
substance after he is gone. That is exactly what we're talking about
this morning concerning the substance of Almighty God. For Jesus said,
"Fear not little flock, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you
the kingdom." [Lk 12:32] Not you work for it, for It says, "The meek
shall inherit the earth." [Mt 5:5] The kingdom is an inheritance, an
inheritance is something somebody leaves you, regardless of your
qualification to handle it. You just need one ability, and that's to
hold out your hand. That's all. To put yourself there as an inheritor,
because you have been chosen in that will.

24.	Now, this shows us what grace is all about. It is a gift or legacy
by the death of the compiler of the estate. Blood did it, and Blood
keeps it. (See?) Now, if Christ died according to the Scripture and
fulfilled the Scripture, that's exactly what It says.

	So therefore, there is nothing left but an inheritance through grace
which we can have. Now, this is Ephesians 1:11. 

		(11) 	In whom also we have obtained an inheritance,… (See?) 

	Now, if God spared not His Own Son, but freely delivered Him up for us
all, how shall He not with Him freely give us a- double l [all] things.
What's all things? Every thing the Word of God says. Because 'things'
always refer to the Word. That's right, because don't worry about the
material side brother/ sister, the Word says, material up here. Because
the Word brings It to pass. (See?) All things are made by Him, made by
that Word. (See?) 

25.	Now, in whom also…and what do we do up here in [Ephesians 1:]
verse 7? 	

		(7) 	In whom we have (obtained) redemption through (the) blood,						
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 					
(and with it, an inheritance.)  

	And what's the inheritance? "Fear not, little flock, your Father's good
pleasure to give you the kingdom," [Lk 12:32] "after the meek shall
inherit the earth." [Mt 5:5] Not just this earth, no sir, shall inherit
the same earth that's been re-molded for the New Jerusalem.

 .	Now listen, we must not recoil, or refuse a death legacy, nor must we
question it. Many people recoil, they refuse the death legacy. In other
words, they refuse to see that redemption is a hundred percent of
Almighty God, and if we are extended an invitation,as guests to come and
get it. (See?) 

26.	Now, we must never question It. Let me show you in the Book of
Romans 10:4. 

		(4) 	For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one 	
				that believeth.

		(5) 	For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That 
					the man which doeth those things shall live (in) them.

		(6) 	But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise,
Say						not in thine heart, (Do not ask questions) Who shall ascend
into 						heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above: (If indeed
He 						is our only righteousness.)

		(7) 	Or, Who shall descend into the deep?...

	In other words, bring Christ up. Seeing He is dead. But what says it?
It doesn't puzzle it, it doesn't figure it, it doesn't ask questions. It
merely says,  

		(8) 	…the word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:
that is, 					the word of faith, which we preach;

	If Christ be preached that He rose from the dead. (See?) That He died,
and God raised Him. Now:

		(9) 	That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
believe 					in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be 					saved.

	Because redemption is the exclusive work of Almighty God the …?... as
He says in Genesis 3.  (See?) Now:

		(10) 	For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the 						mouth confession is made unto salvation.

	That's all you've got to do, is believe It, say iI. The same as
Rockefeller handing you his check book with a …?... all you've got to
do is put on your name. That's all, no man can …?... taxes. No
different, no difference.  No difference.  …?... God's sacrifice is so
perfect through Jesus, God does not question It, nor does He want us
questioning It. Saying, "I wonder if I can really get there by the
Blood?" No! Who's going to bring Him down? What's He trying to say?
Who's going to up there and tell God how to do it? No! It's already
figured by God how it's going to be done. Then Jesus comes down and does
It. And It says, "You believe It, and you tell It." Then you've got It.
(See?) It's just that simple.

27.	Now, listen, the fact that  He was raised by God to be Mediator
according to [Hebrews] 9:15, proves that He was that One, Who was the
promised Messiah. And then He died, and in His death, and His death
alone the promises of God's redemption are secured to us. Let me read It
to you. Hebrews 9:15.

		(15)	And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament…

	What is that word really mean? 'Executor'. Executor, the man who is
given the job to see that the bequests in the will are given to the
right people. 

	Now listen, do you realize something? Here's a dear old fellow, he
lives a very hard life. He's probably worked because he loves his wife
and nine kids. The day comes he's going to die, he brings in the men and
he says, "Now write the will, I want to sign it, make sure it's exactly
right with the law, because I want my wife to have all of  this
property. And I want to have the children to have…so and so, and so
and so."  The poor old fellow dies, but he doesn't know there's been a
crooked lawyer there. And that rotten filthy buzzard, with a filthy
executor, the miserable corrupt judges, the unholy politician take
what's in the will. (Uh?) Then poor mother and kids don't have a plug
nickel.

28.	Let me tell you something, Jesus didn't do that. He put all in His
will that He wanted us to have. What He stored and laid out, died for us
so we can have it, then rose to be …?...  Glory to God. Rose to see
that His Own was carried out. Oh God. If that isn't grace in simplicity,
I don't what is the whole …?...   

	You never heard of a man coming back to see his kids get treated right.
You never heard of a testator dying and then coming back to see
everything  was just exactly right. The best you can hear is spooky
stories that some medium or some spook artist thinks up of a guy moaning
and groaning and knowing that his kids didn't get it. But I'm going to
tell you something: if you can show me that Jesus doesn't see that we
inherited get what's in that will, I'm going to tell you something, why
did He bother dying? Why did He bother rising? How simple can it be? Is
his guilt passing over our heads? Sure he passed over our heads, He is
the Mediator. Let me show you something about mediation while we're
going on the road.

29.	 Galatians 3: now listen It says in verse 20, 

		(20)	Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

	It tells you right here, you can have a mediator involve three people.
It involves two people and a mediator gets between. But that's not now
how it is, there is God, there is man, and God becomes His Own Mediator,
He makes the wicked bring it back, and said, "It's okay, it's all over."
Jesus died and proved the effectiveness of His death and what He has
accomplished is ours, it's yours. (See?) Whatever was bought by that
death. 

	Now, you will notice you will notice I'm using the word 'redemption'
and have been all along. To redeem means to 'buy back', to regain
possession of something. Now remember, Jesus is the kinsmen Redeemer.
You know something?  You know we're funny people, we got a funny sense
of justice together.  Funny sense of honor. We got a really funny sense,
I mean peculiar, or disgusting.

30.	Now, here's a fellow here and he's got a lot of dough, and he says,
"I'm leaving my money with my son, (I don't know what I'm going to call
him, because there might be somebody here…Shorty, we'll call him you
know, nobody's called Shorty) I'm going to give my money to Shorty, "I
would, (he said) you know Shorty, he runs around with women, he just
blows the dough. I won't leave it to Shorty, but I'll tell you what
there's a kid down the road and his name is (you know, we'll call him
Tilly, or something, he said,) I'm going to leave my money to him."

	You know something? We look at that and we say, "Hey, that fellow he's
smart." That guy is a fink. That guy, he's really a mess. I don't care
if Shorty blows all of that dough, higher than a kite with fun living,
his father according to the word, must leave that money to him, because
the Scripture says, "The parents lay up for the children." 

	I don’t care how rotten that brat is. Don’t get stars in your eyes,
because you got a thought that might be better than God's, because you
haven't. It's the Kinsmen Redeemer. In other words, it's a blood
relative, and it's going to be left exclusively to the relatives. I
don't care how those relatives are brother/sister. I don't care how
spooky they are, and how messed up they are they're going to get the
inheritance. Because if you think a fallen son of God can't fall just
about four miles past hell, you're wrong, because he can. And he can be
so loused up in his thinking that he thinks he's doing God a favor like
Paul by killing the very Bride of Jesus Christ.

31.	Now, how more loused up, can you get then that? Yeah, you couldn't
get more loused up than that. The men that you hired to protect you wife
raped her, that's great. There's no limit to some falling. Perversion,
read in Ephesians how Paul how mentioned, he said, "Such were some of
you." [1 Cor 6:11a] No limit to disgust. (See?) The Kinsman Redeemer is
going to give a portion of the inheritance that He bought to every
single inheritor who was in Him before the foundation of the world. He's
going to divide the inheritance.

	Now, He buys back what was lost through Adam. Now, the first mention of
Jesus as Redeemer, is found in Genesis 3:15. And remember, we know this
to be true, because it carried all through Scripture and explained in
the New Testament. So, we go to It and read It.  

		(15) 	And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, between thy 		
			seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise 		
			his heel.

	Now, right here we see the serpent bruised Him, which means in the
Hebrew 'snapping at' and overwhelming the heel of Jesus. Now, surely we
can see this means to bring Christ down, bringing Him down by physical
death. But Jesus snapped right back in that stead. 

32.	Now listen,  this time he grabs the other fellow's head. Now, if I
was going to be snapped at by a big dog, a lion, which is the real
world, because I'd sooner be snapped in my heel than my head. [laughter]
Now, listen, this old serpent here he craft at the heel of Jesus, and as
soon as he craft Him, Jesus crafted right back on his head. Brother when
you sever the head, that body can take off  at once, its power. (See?)  

	Now, if Jesus snaps back at Satan's head as he is brought down,
bringing Satan down, bringing that head-ship down. (See?) The ownership
of Satan, the picture is very clear here. Adam and Eve have sold out
humanity and the whole earth to Satan. Genesis 3:17-19.

		(17) 	And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the 				
	voice of thy wife, (the first …?... commandments) and hast eaten     
             				of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou
shalt not eat 						of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow
shalt eat of it 						all the days of thy life;

		(18) 	Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; thou
shalt eat 						the herb of the field;

	Now, here's earth cursed, and taken away from the dominion of Adam.
Now:

		(19)	In the sweat of thy face (you'll) eat bread, till thou return
unto the 						ground; for (you were) taken (out of it, for the very)
dust…(and 						you'll return right back to dust.)  

	See, the earth now is controlling as an overlord under the thralldom of
Satan and controlling man. Man cannot control nature. No, wouldn't do
it, until he's fully restored. (See?) 

33.	Now, let's go to the Book of Romans then we get the revelation, very
beautifully by the apostle Paul in just a few words, he just nails it
right down for us, chapter 8:20-23. Now:

		(20) 	For the (creation, not creature)  For the (creation) was made
subject 					to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath
subjected 						the same in hope,

	That's exactly what God said to Adam. He said, "The earth is cursed
because of you it's under the subjection of criminality of sin." But I'm
putting it there with the understanding one day it's all going to come
back. Now: 

		(21) 	Because the (creation) itself also shall be delivered from the
bondage 					of corruption into the liberty (of the glory) of the
children of God.

	In other words, when the children are fully restored then nature gets
restored. And that's fine.   It's not easy God doing anything here till
the Bride ready to come on down. (See?) 

		(22) 	For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in
pain 					together until now.

		(23) 	And not only (all says creation) but ourselves also, (and we
even 						got the very promise of God living in us now and still we're
in this 						bondage waiting, (see?) for this redemption)…groan(ing) 
within 						ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of
(the) body.

	But we're saved, we're looking for it, and we're going to get it, says
the apostle Paul.

 	Now, God admits in Genesis 3:15 which we read awhile ago, because He
grants the serpent to be the head, which is Satan reigning. (See?) Jesus
does not deny this either. "For the day will come when all Israelites
will I give to worship me."  He said, "Look Satan (He said) just get out
of my hair, beat it. I'm not going to worship you, you bother me, go
away." He was going to get it anyway.  But you notice He had to be, He
had to get it for us. He had to get it back. And He was going to fight
Satan and whip him. (See?)   

34.	Now, Adam has lost his estate, …?... Genesis 3, Romans 8. There's
only one thing to do. And that's to give it back to those who are the
children. Now, it'll be done by the death of Jesus Christ. Let's look at
this, and we're going to take some strange Scripture. So just hold on
while we take It, because I'm talking of the Blood of Jesus Christ and
buying perfect, complete redemption which covers in totality everything
that must be redeemed. Everything's fallen. I could just end it by here
saying, show me one thing that didn't. (Well I won't. I'm having too
much fun preaching. While I've got you here, I won't let you go.)
Hebrews 2:14-15

		(14) 	Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
					(now, that lets you know right here that's there's something wrong 
					with flesh and blood; something very wrong.) he also (had) likewise
				(to take) part of the same; that through death he might… (bring to
						nothing)…

	Do you realize what that means? That means the soul thoroughly undo,
that it was as though it had never ever been done. So the prophet could
say, "Little children, you didn't do it in the first place."  Have you
ever had anything undone? I have. Put a nice garden in, worms gets the
whole thing. Put a nice crop in, hail knocks the whole thing flat. Build
a nice house, (which I haven't done yet) hurricane take it all too.
Might as well not have done it, gone. That's what he says here. Undo
everything that the devil wanted to do and did do. Bring it to nothing,
and deliver them who through fear of death were all the right time
subject to bondage,  death in the land. Even one day death is going to
go. There won't be anymore. All, all, all. Why death last? Because
that's the first thing that brought it. That is, the need to redemption,
the falling away. Now:

35. The peculiar Scripture that we're going to go to is over here in
Daniel 9:24. So, just hang in there tight, till we talk about It, I
hope, which is perfectly according to the Word of God. Now, beginning at
verse 24-26.

		(24) 	Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy		
			 city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make 	
				reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, 
					to seal up the vision and (the) prophecy, and to anoint the most
Holy.

		(25) 	Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the 
					commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah 				
	shall be seven weeks, (that's seven times seven, forty-nine) and 					
threescore and two weeks: (will follow the seven, which makes it 					
sixty-nine) wall (built) in troublous times.

		(26) 	And after threescore and two weeks (and plus the seventh,
sixty-nine, 					we come what? to seventieth, right? Simple as abc,
because seventy is 					left. It says, the) Messiah (will) be cut off,
but not for himself: (in the 					middle of the seventieth week, 
Messiah get's cut off, but not for 						Himself. The Messianic Redeemer
comes, but not for Himself. He's					 killed for somebody else.) the
people of the prince shall come shall 					(to) destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be 						with a flood, and unto the
end of the war desolations are determined.

36.	 Now, let us feel or understand what this is all about. Daniel
9:24-26 is absolutely based upon on Daniel 7:9-14. There's the vision
that was sealed up and has to come to pass before the seventieth week
expires which ends everything that has to do with the world down here.
And redemption sets in, in its totality. Now listen, 

		(9) 	I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days
did 					sit, whose garment was white as snow, and (his) hair like pure
wool:					his throne like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning
fire.

		(10) 	A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand 	
				thousands ministered…

	 That's the Bride, nobody ministers to Him but the Bride. Now, you know
that as well as I do. If somebody else is running after you, you better
watch your ministering. But you in bad shape, it's your wife that
ministers to you. And nobody, but nobody else. (See?) Now, 

		(10)	…and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: (for)
the 						judgment was set, and the books were opened. (That's the White
						Throne judgment.)

		(11) 	I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the
horn 					spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, his body
destroyed, 						given the burning flame.   

		(12) 	As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion
taken 						away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

		(13) 	I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man
came 					with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days,
and they 					brought him near before him.

		(14) 	And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that
					all people, nations,  languages, should serve him: (and) his
dominion 					is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and
his 						kingdom that shall not be destroyed. 

 	When does that take place? New Jerusalem, because everything else goes
except that one. And when New Jerusalem comes it's the beginning of the
true eternity. For there is no light, no need of the sun, no need of the
moon. There's not even a temple, and the Lamb is in New Jerusalem, upon
the Throne with the Pillar of Fire over It.

37.	Now, let's go to Revelation 21:1-2, and 22:1-6 and read about It.

		(1) 	And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and 
					the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

		(2)	And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from 				
	God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

	  Oh, that's going to be a glorious thing. [Revelation] 22:

		(1) 	And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal,
						proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

		(2) 	In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the
river, was 						there the tree of life, which bare twelve fruits, and
yielded her fruit 						every month: and the leaves of the tree were for
the healing of the 						nations.

		(3) 	And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of
the 						Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

		(4) 	And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their
foreheads.

		(5) 	And there shall be no night there; they (don't) need (a) candle,
(they 					don't need) the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:
(that's the 						Pillar of Fire, see?) they shall reign for ever and
ever.

		(6) 	And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: the
Lord 						God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his
servants the 					things which must shortly be done.

	What am I trying to tell you? I'm trying to tell you brother/sister, an
angel came to Daniel and said, "Seventy weeks are determined, and in
that seventy weeks Messiah is going to get cut off." And I'm going to
take you now by way of your people to show you, and point you clean up
to the New Jerusalem, and remember, It says, "Messiah is cut off. But
not for Himself, that teaches the whole thing is the death of Jesus
Christ Who died, and gives us a legacy, of even New Jerusalem, because
He said, "I go to prepare a place for you. And if I got to prepare a
place, I will come again and make sure you're going to get what I got
prepared."  Don't you worry, because His death did it, and His ascension
proves absolutely it was done. And New Jerusalem being prepared right
now, there's not one flaw there will not be one flip. There will not be,
because He died for it, and right now He is allocating it. He's
absolutely seeing that nobody is going to miss out. (See?) 

38.	He's risen to keep the Word. Now, bring this right up to this day
from Daniel. And I'll show you  why He'll do it. Revelation 10:1-3, is
absolutely nothing but Revelation 4:1-3, and Revelation 5:1:7. So, let's
go back to Revelation 4:1-3, first. 

		(1) 	After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: 		
			(see, revelation comes from heaven, (see?) the first voice which 				
	I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, 					
Come hither, and I will shew thee things which must be… (must 					
be, must be, oh yeah, must be, yes sir.)

	This was already written out a long time ago. Yes sir, and it's got to
be, because He died and He arose, the whole thing instituted. You're not
going to stop Him, He's the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Don't fool with
this man, no sir. They killed Him. That was the personal plan of God,
but He's raised now. Yes sir. Now:

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

		(3) 	And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and sardine stone:
						(the urim and thummim, the Pillar of Fire was weaving in there)   
						and a rainbow… (over It.)

 	Yes sir, just like an emerald, beautiful.  

39.	 Now, let's go to [Revelation] 5: 

		(1) 	And I saw in the right hand of him that sat (up)on the throne… 

	See,  that Urim and Thummim, the whole Word of God, Pillar of Fire,
rainbow covenant. God proven by a rainbow, I'm doing a certain thing,
God proven by the Resurrection. You can rest on It, It's done. That's
why he speaks in the past tense all the time. Now: 

		(1)	…(and I saw) a book written within and on the backside,… 

	You couldn't add a Word, or take a Word, nothing …?... no siree, you
scratch anything out you won't …[blank spot] … exactly what's there,
that's sealed up and nobody can mess with it. Oh, but there's a lot of
messers though. 

		(2)	 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is 		
			worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

		(3)	(No man)…no man in heaven, (no man in the) earth, (no man) under
					the earth, was able to open the book, (or even) to look thereon.
(As 					though, well I'll take a look and see if I can do.)

		(4) 	And I wept much, …

	What is this fellow weeping for? He's got a book up there, what's he
got to cry about? What kind of a book is it? See, that's the question.
We don't even know unless somebody tells us.

		(4) 	And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and 				
	read the book, neither to look thereon.

		(5) 	And one of the elders (said,) Weep not: behold, the Lion of the
tribe 					of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book,
and 						loose the seven seals…

40.	How does He prevail?  Only one way, death and resurrection. See,
I'll prove it to you.  

		(6) 	And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts,…					(I looked for this Mount Zion, and here) in the midst of
the elders, 						stood a Lamb as it had been slain, (here's the
bleeding Lamb) having 					seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God sent 					forth into all the earth.

	And here we see right …?... the Lamb, those eyes, that Spirit are
Seven Church Age messengers sent forth with the Word of God concerning
this Book to all Seven Ages. Redemption.   Don't tell me it's something
else, I'll laugh in your face. You got to fight up here, it's one time
that I can get mad. I get mad about a few things. Anybody talk about a
man, anybody talk bout what Jesus did, and I'll take a four by four and
teach you good manners. Bro. Jeff  knows about a Missouri mule, what
they call persuasion. Want to get those four pound rubber mallets
…?... and catch each other gently …?...  this morning. Yes sir.	

		(7) 	And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him…

	Look it, the right hand the very power of Almighty God the authority of
God, the strength of God. Ther's a Book in there, showing the strength
of God. You can't take that Book and disassociate from the arm. And
neither can you disassociate its contents, whatever those contents are.
My brother, my sister, from the death of Jesus Christ and His
Resurrection, I hope you're seeing it this morning. (See?) There's
nothing else to look to. He came and He took that Book. 

41.	Now, let's go to Revelation 10:1-3. Bro. Branham said this, I
didn't, anybody can see it from that, if you believe this Message. And
if you're a child of God.

		(1) 	And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, …

	Not the Lamb now, not the Lamb in flesh, not the blood stained One.
Clothed now not with the skins as it were, drip, drip, drip, showing the
blood bleeding all the way through. No, not the hands that were riven,
the side to show blood was shed. No, 

		(1)	…clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, …

	Oh, come now, the Lamb didn't have the rainbow around His head. The Man
on the Throne had the rainbow around His head. What kind of a cloud was
He clothed with? Clothed with the Pillar of Fire, the Urim and the
Thummim. Sure. Urim and Thurmmim is the Pillar of Fire as far as I'm
concerned. You say, "Bro. Branham didn't." Well, he told us, to say what
he said, and I'm saying what he said. Because he said the Urim and
Thurmmim was the Word, and here you've got the stones showing forth. I
just put them together and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I don't believe
I'm wrong. Couldn't be. Because It's the One with the rainbow that came
down. (See?) 

42.	 Now,  what we're looking, It was the Holy Spirit, Jesus, Spirit
enveloped in a Pillar of Fire.

		(2) 	And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right
foot 						upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

		(3) 	And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he 
					had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

	What is it? Bro. Branham categorically said, "It is the Book of
Redemption opened, God's Word… remember now, this was opened way back
there, were getting the  revelation on it. The white horse went out, and
the red horse went out. And the black horse went out, and the brindle
horse, brother the pale horse brother,  it was what the Scripture says,
the English translation. Bro. Branham said, "It's  poured all into one."
How true he was, because It says, 'a brindle horse'. And a brindle horse
is what? Red, black. The man didn't have to know the Greek, didn’t
have to know anything, except know God and be a prophet. That did it. So
gave the whole picture. Reached right back in history, reached right
back in eternity. And showed the redemption has gone through seven solid
Church Ages. 

	He said, "I could show you seven ages that isn't."  But he didn't do
it. Said, "I can take the seventh." He didn't do it. He didn't have to
do it, why should he do it? What's so smart about a man exceeding his
command?  He didn't say a pound of butter, get the loaf of bread. (Uh?)
The Book of Redemption to the end time. What about It, it's all about
'our redemption'.  What started the Book of Ephesians? The first chapter
where he placed It, took it down through the Ages, brought it up to now.
(See?)

43.	Now, let's just keep going. It's the Book of Redemption opened.
God's Word, or testimony laid bare, all that Christ bought back by His
death. And notice particularly Revelation 5:5-6 

		(5) 	…Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of 	
				David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven 					
seals thereof. 

	The full absolute revelation, the whole Word now becomes exposed to our
view. Because it's one Book, written within, and without.

		(6) 	And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and four
beasts, 						and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had
been slain, 						having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven
Spirits 						of God…

	And what made Him able to open that Book was the fact that He was the
Lamb, redemption open, exposed, explained and given. Because Jesus died
and rose again to see that we're going to get it. Yes sir. He alone has
the right as a man. He alone has that right, because over here I read in
Hebrews. It tells you about these poor children coming to earth. They
should not have come by sex. For as much as the children were made
partakers of flesh and blood, they shouldn't have come that way, but
they did. So He comes the same way. Perfect identification being a man,
an …?.. man, …?... killed, that's what it's supposed to do. Man must
take the sacrifice, man must kill it. Man must identify. So, we took Him
and killed Him, and we're identified, hallelujah, in a death. Yes sir.
Because when He died, we died, when He arose, we arose. Yes sir.

44.	Now, all the promises that were bought, (b-o-u-g-h-t) bought for us
by His death, are now unloosed and sealed. Not just revelatory
brother/sister,  no! Because Bro. Branham said, "It is inheritance
time." Which is inheritance distribution time. I don't want to simply
hear about my inheritance today. I what to have my inheritance. Well,
I'm sick of this mess, …?... See? It's adoption time, he said. And
it's to the Bride. It's going on right now. We're in it! Known this for
ten years, but it's just getting real now. That is real, real. Been
preaching it for ten years, I've got to read my own sermons twenty or
thirty times before I get it. I don't blame you if you don't. But I like
to bawl you out anyway. Might as well be true, you never get anywhere
…?... 

	As Bro. Branham said in two great statements, "The Seventh Seal is
Revelation 10:1-7, which means all the mysteries of redemption are laid
bare. Just laid bare to say, "Come and see." It's to partake.  When
Jesus was pulled over those Seals back there, predicating what's going
on down here. They said, "Come and see!" But, it's come and take at this
hour. Not just see it. We're not just at the seeing age. Oh, we are by
the prophet, that part. Not running that down, but believing it. But I'm
telling you concerning us. …?... You just simply can't go by what the
prophet said. He said what the Word said.

45.	He also said in the Seventh Seal, (page 556) "The Seventh Seal is
the end of time of all things." When the prophet comes, it's the end of
the struggling world. It's the end of struggling nature. It's the end of
everything. In there is the end of the Trumpets, of the vials, it's the
end of the earth. It's the end of time. Time runs out, the Bible said
so. I should recant and get scared, and Oh my God, we're going to get
hit. Oh my God, in practice, It doesn't say that. It says, "Struggling
over." You won't struggle anymore, it's over. It's the struggling
nature, you won't struggle anymore. 

	America is been doing destructive, like the Africans now …?...  We
had the carrier-pigeon the last one in Ohio in 1914 died. They killed
billions of pigeons and no more left. We've endangered the species,
they've all gone down in the graves. And there we …?... the blame,
they're robbing them all these ages, and endangered species everywhere.
We're ruined everything. The earth is destroyed. And he said at the end
of it, there's going to be a resurrection. And I believe that with all
my heart, the birds and the bees are going to come up. The dogs are
going to come up. The cattle are going to come up. Actually, Bro.
Branham's pony going to come up. …?... He's not going to create you
and me again. We're going to come up. Oh, it's redemption time. Don't
you see it, it's struggling nature. You're redeemed. Get …?... is a
struggling nature. You're redeemed! Not a new nature. Not a new …?...
Not a new …?... The old one …?... back by …?... 

46.	That's true, even if I don't believe it, I'm preaching the truth. If
I miss it, I'm still preaching the truth. If I go to hell, I'll go to
hell preaching the truth. It's over, the rest of the Seven Seals can
relax. You don't have that in your …?..., I got it in mine, because I
wrote it in. Should have got the whole story in. It's not in the Bible
it's in …?...

	When Bro. Sothmann turned the tape over he missed it. And the only part
I regret having missed what Bro. Branham said, "The rest and relaxation
are under the Seventh Seal." …?... Sit still awhile, look, just wait a
bit. In your day you're going to stop struggling. You will get the theme
that belongs to the Bride, you don't have to worry, …?... along too
clear. You with cancer may e dying waiting for the Lord, you'll still
have your cancer may be when He comes. Don't worry. You don’t  have to
worry anymore. You don't have to worry.  No, it's over.

47.	Listen to what he said. "It's the end of everything. It's the end of
the prophet, and  it is the Seventh Seal, covers the Sixth Seal and goes
on."  Revelation 10:1-7, is the Seventh Seal don't worry, hold on, I'll
prove it again. Not what old Lee Vayle says, what the prophet says. It's
the end of time. Time runs out. Bro. Branham said, "Time doesn't go
until after the Millennium." You're right, time does not go, till New
Jerusalem comes down. That's what the angel said to Daniel.

	He said, "Seventy weeks are determined to seal up the vision, which
takes you right to New Jerusalem. And unto the Seventh Seal my brother,
my sister, just breaks forth to bring in the Sixth Seal. We're under the
Fourth now. The Fifth has been going on.  Don't think these Seven Seals
are chronologically, they got all messed up. It's, One, Two, Three,
Four. Stopped by God, Five has already taken place under One, Two,
Three, Four. At least under  Four. Then Six comes, after Four, as far as
faith is concerned. And Seven, there's no place in the Bible concerning
It. It is pure revelatory. Certainly it is. What will the prophet do?
Except to tell us. And this brother …?... hit the nail on the head
when he said, "The original function of a prophet was to reveal the
Word." Not print It, but reveal It. Now, that man didn't miss a trick. I
don't know about what you think. If I believed anybody, I'd sure believe
him, and I do. I've never seen God. I never saw Paul. I haven't, but I
heard the man that God answered back to, and that should clear it up as
far as I'm concerned. 

48.	Now, it's the end vials, the end of the trumpets, end of the earth,
end of time, time runs out. Don't …?... it's New Jerusalem. Now, how
true this is in the light of Daniel 7.  But I would …?... again. White
Throne judgment, turning the kingdom right over, New Jerusalem, the
whole thing.

	Now listen, this is already purchased. The death of Jesus did this for
us. Where It says in Daniel 9:26, "The Messiah comes …?..." The
secret. The secret of everything. The secret of everything is Messiah
cut off. (See?) Now listen, let's face it. God was in the prophet with a
measure. In the prophet with a  measure. Here, here, here. But when it
came to Jesus, God in full measure was in Jesus. For what? Why?
Redemption. Only the full attributes of Almighty God can be seen in
redemption. No other way. 

	You say, "I see Him in nature." No you don't, because nature's
corrupted. But when you see Him in redemption bringing it back what
fell, that's really God. You and I are here, we cause problems we can't
rectify, but God does. True…

49.	 Now, see Jesus was cut off. He died, to buy all this back, It says
so. Genesis 3:15 says so. Romans 8: says so. The prophet said so,
vindicated. This is the hour. Now, He fulfilled Genesis 3:15. Hebrews
2:14-15 which I read to you. [paragraph 34] It is only its distribution,
or inheritance time in this our day. That what it's all about. That's
what it's all about, knowing it's distribution time. The Mediator, or
Executor in Heaven has opened the Holy Will, or legacy and showed it to
us. The  Blood that dropped upon the earth redeeming it, two thousand
years ago, and a token is ready now to do the work. Brother/sister don't
you see it took the Blood of Jesus to even purify the very heaven, so
that New Jerusalem can come about?  The Bible said so.

	It said, the blood of  bulls and goats is okay to cleanse what's down
here, but the very heavens itself must be purified by that which is
better. And there is only one thing better, and that is to get rid of
the type and bring on the antitype, which is the Blood of Jesus Christ.
And even the heavens are now purified absolutely, so that we can have
New Jerusalem. Now, we are living in that hour for the evidence of His
Resurrection has proved its death to be in effect. 

50.	Now listen, when a man goes away for a long, long time and they
don't know if he's dead or not, they've got to set a special time up in
the courts to say, okay, we call him dead. The court sets the time, that
says this length of time is proof enough, the man is dead. Open the
will. Jesus died two thousand years ago. We haven't seen Him since. Oh,
all through the ages He proved He was living, but nobody could. And when
you prove that a man is alive, (see?) that proves he's dead. That's
fine, doesn't hold up in court. Let us get to that. But in the end time
when the actual proof required that His death is effective you can open
the will. And at this hour it was proven through the ministry of Bro.
Branham, that this Word of God could now come into full effect, and be
distributed to those named in the will. (See?) 

	Now, we are actually in conference through the prophet's Message to
know what is our inheritance. Now what it's all about, now until New
Jerusalem comes down. And Bro. Branham's great Message on 'The Future
Home of the Earthly Bride' is fulfilled that's going on right now,
because the Seventh Seal is opened, the wheels have begun to grind and
they will not stop.

51.	Let's go to Revelation 5:8-13, this is after He took the Book,

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

		(9) 	And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to (open) the 	
				book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast 	
				redeemed…(that's the picture, the Redeemer, can now take the Book 
				and allocate what the Word of God says concerning us, absolutely) 		
		redeemed us by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and 					
people, and nation;

		(10) 	And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall
reign 					on the earth.

	Now by His Blood we come direct to God, the very …?... and say, "Who
doth approach unto God without the Blood."

		(11) 	And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about 	
				the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them 			
		was ten thousand times ten thousand, thousands of thousands; 					
(millions if not billions.) 

		(12) 	Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to 	
				receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, 			
		and glory, and blessing. (It  takes the whole thing. Everything 					
He bought can now come and possess it. See?) 

		(13) 	And every creature which is heaven…on the earth, and under the
						earth, and (which) are in the sea, and all that are in them, …

	See, I'm trying to tell you, they're down there but they're going to
come up. Yes siree, those lovely words, that I've got compassion
recently of these things for the birds and animals, that I have not been
too great of lover. I'll tell you flat, I can come back and see you next
week and go over and see what people are doing  with those birds. We've
got a lot of birds around our place, just don’t seem to have them
anymore. Where have they gone? They're dead, God's going to bring them
back. 

52.	 Oh yes, every creature says, "I'll be there." Don't think this
…?... I believe he's talking about creation period. And they're all
screaming, "I'll see the birds sing to God, animals talk to God, they do
in their own way. They don't talk like you and me. But they got a soul,
not your soul and my soul. Man has only the true soul, animal doesn't
have a true soul, he's got a natural thing out here that places the
soul, because he breathes. (See?) I talked to Bro. Branham about that
one time, and Scripture said, "Adam became a living soul." That's the
Holy Ghost, That’s    how we differ,  you see.

	Now, [blank spot on tape] …you can't  talk about a lamb, except He
died. (See?) The four and twenty, the four beast said, 'Amen'. The four
and twenty elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and
ever." [Rev 19:4]

53.	Now, what a day we're living in. What is that day? That day is 1
Corinthians 15:49-55, let's go back just a second. Now, here we are,
what Bro. Paul talking about people dying and coming back. Now, is he
okay that everybody's got to die to come back? He said, "No sir, I'm
going to tell you a mystery." Now let's start at 49…

		(49) 	And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear
						the image of the heavenly.

 		(50) 	Now this I say, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the 		
				kingdom of God; neither doth corruption…incorruption.

	It tells you right there, that's why Jesus became flesh and blood to
die for us.

		(51) 	Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
shall 						all be changed,

		(52) 	In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
(what's 						the last trump? Seven, Seventh Church Age messenger, see?)
for 						the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, 						and we shall be changed.

		(53) 	For this (corruptibility) must put on (incorruptibility), this
mortal…					immortality.

		(54) 	So when this (corruptibility) shall have put on
(incorruptibility), this 					mortal…immortality, …

54.	 It's a vesture, it's a garment which differentiates everybody who
looks alike by one thing, the vesture. A woman comes in the door
attended by six women, they're identical, except one has the veil, one
is the Bride. The vesture of the Bride, set her apart. And she's the one
that goes to man, the rest look on. They're cut with the same pattern.
Wise, foolish virgin, there's only one difference, that's the Word. You
can talk about this thing and that thing, I will not argue this morning
about anything, but in my heart I'm telling you what I see. I only know
one thing, the revealed Word, you can have anything you want that's your
business, your pastor and you, no argument. 

 	 I only know one thing, that Word. She's identical in every manner,
except one thing, Word.         I said identical in every manner that
the prophet said so, till you have a piece of cloth out here, the
…?... puts a pattern on it, cuts it out. No different, except pattern,
lies in what? In the eyes of the person cutting it out for certain
things. Yes sir. Sorry about that. Not quoting me, they're quoting the
prophet. That inner vesture, Bro. Branham knew about, he said, "I come
to dress a Bride," Get her ready, it's an inner vesture. It's the Word
of God, it's the last trumpet, the trumpet sounds. The messenger has one
thing, Message, Message, vindicated. Now, she at the last age. Here He
is now, opening the Book of Redemption and He's telling us all about it.

55.	Now, let me show you, I mean let us look at, according to what the
prophet said what this is all about. We go now to the Book of Ephesians
[1:] and we're going to read from 3 to 14 and on.

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

		(4) 	According as he hath chosen us (see, in Christ Jesus) before the 
					foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame 	
				before him in love:

		(5) 	Having …(put our names upon the will) 

	I'm not making it up, I'm telling you the truth. Whose names are
written in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world.
Well you say, "Bro. Vayle, it's called the 'Book of Life'."  I beg your
pardon. What is redemption all about, except life? It's the Book of
Redemption of Life. And He gives us the whole story, because He didn't
only deal with the Lamb, He dealt with those who bring their glory in.
First He dealt with all of redemption through all ages until the White
Throne, until the New Jerusalem came down with the millions bringing
their glory in. Because all don't come to New Jerusalem, maybe visit,
but only the Bride, New Jerusalem.

56.	Now, here's your picture,

		(5)	Having  predestinated us (by our name on the Book) unto the
adoption 					of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the
good pleasure 					of his will,

	Now, we know the will here means a perfect. So, let's change it back to
testament meaning a will of legacy. Yes sir.

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

		(7) 	In whom we have redemption through his blood, …(if we weren't 	
				bought back, all of these things would stand there and we would have
					no part in anybody) …according to the riches of his grace;
(grace, it's 					the Blood.

		(8) 	Wherein he hath abounded (for it) in all wisdom and prudence;

	Listen, the very wisdom and prudence of Almighty God is through the
Cross of Jesus Christ getting us back.

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

	In other words, don't you argue about anything. Don't you try to figure
anything. Believe It. Let It become a revelation. Figure, figure,
figure, figure, figure, figure. I only figured once in this Message and
I made a mistake. I'll never figure again, you can have it, lock, stock
and barrel. It either comes, or it doesn't come.

57.	But if you think I'm going to bend my back and my heart and my head,
"study, study, study, study, study."  Gets' up, I know maybe I should be
doing, I know I should be doing a hundred more times than I do. But
you'll never catch me trying to force God to ever again. I did it once,
once, and it's in the 'Adoption Series' that I preached and I make no
bones about it. I got so torn up, something in my heart kept saying,
"you got it, but you don't got it." And I say, "God, I'm no prophet, I
can't contact, but there's a man called William Branham who could, And
he come in a dream, he came in a dream

	And I said, "Bro. Branham, am I preaching that exactly right?"  …?...
He looked at me and turned his head. When he turns his head you better
watch it. And he said, "Yes, you're preaching it right." In other words,
I did my best from his word.  And the Adoption is in this hour, is in
this age, but I was missing something. What it is? I don't know. I
believe it has to do what actually lies in the Resurrection, because the
fullness of the adoption comes in the Resurrection. Doesn't say it all
does, It says, the fullness of It. Just like right now we're getting the
full Word in our age when they only had a part, the other age is back
there, the wholeness. 

58.	So, some little thing, I don't know what it is, but I know that's
when I studied, studied, studied about thirty-eight, forty-four.  Forget
it. Just believe It. Just believe It. Otherwise, how come the little
washing woman with three tapes is going to make it, when a guy with a
hundred won't? Oh, I want …?...  You know, I never wanted to be a
woman, especially washing. But I'm going to put on skirts and let my
hair grow. Start scrubbing.  Get three tapes, I mean it, to believe it.
Get a tape, tape, tape, argue, argue, argue. Forget it brother/sister.
Forget it. What would it tell me here? You believe It. It's His wisdom,
it's His prudence. Believe It!! That's all's to it. He purchased It
Himself. How would I know it, except to believe It. How do I know why a
certain person makes the will out:  

		(10) 	That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather
						together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven,
and						earth;… (what happened to New Jerusalem? It goes round about 
					him.)

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

	He's telling you, He's finished and He does It. You show me one part
you had to do with being born? If you're like me you didn't even want to
get born, regret the day. The Old Testament says, "Better the day of
death, than the day of birth." [Eccl 7:1b]  You say, "I'm getting out of
here soon." That does it, I've had my time. You had nothing to do with
your birth, you have nothing to do with this. You're here because you're
here. You're redeemed because you're redeemed. You're the perfect will
of Almighty God, election. You don't carry it so far, and say, "Well
we'll only know when we get there." You can know right now. I'm not
covering the Baptist, that's not my point, I'm covering the merits of 
His death is what it's all about to point further down the road. But
brother/sister, before you make a journey you better get at the start of
the journey. And don't try to get to the top of the …?... that is have
somebody swings up there starting from the top down, start down here.
Blood, the death of Jesus Christ.

59.	 Now listen:

		(12) 	That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted
in Christ.

	Christ what? Believing, died and risen. Now listen:

		(13) 	In whom (you) also trusted, (said Paul, this One that I'm
telling  						you about in a nut shell) after (you) heard the word of
truth, (Paul 						ought to know, because he preached It, and laid hand
on, and they 						got the Holy Ghost) the gospel of your salvation: in
whom also after 					that (you) believed, (you) were sealed (and are
sealed at this moment) 					with that holy Spirit of promise,

		(14) 	Which is the earnest of our inheritance (because you got what I
got, 					said Paul) until the redemption of the purchased
possession,…(until 					it's all finally in.)

	Because that's what he's talking about here …?... . New Jerusalem
ends it. And then from then on, it's just wonderful, wonderful,
wonderful, wonderful, looking at the beautiful Man. (See?)  

60.	Now listen: (verse 15) "You people who have the Holy Ghost," said
Paul,

		(15) 	Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus
(Christ 					crucified, dead, risen, fulfilling any Scripture ) and love
unto all the 					saints, (because they've got the same thing you've
got.)

		(16) 	Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my 		
			prayers;

		(17) 	That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give… 					(you a brand new baptism with the Holy Ghost, because I
don't think 					you've got It.)

	Isn't that nice, because that's exactly what some preachers are
preaching, a lot of people are believing.  Didn't say that.  Now, here's
the people that got the Holy Ghost, Paul wants them to have a spirit.
But what spirit is it? 

		(17)	…the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
(for 					a certain purpose)

		(18) 	(That( the eyes of your understanding (become) enlightened; (to
this 					end, (one:) that (you) may know what is the hope of his
calling, and 					what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the
saints,

	That you may understand all about what's going on here in those first
12 verses. Then notice,

		(19)	 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward…		
			 according to the working of his mighty power,

		(20) 	Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead,
and 					set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

60.	Now, that has never taken place. That's not the Resurrection imputed
to you and me, that's our whole resurrection the same as He Himself got
ready when He died.

		(21)	Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion,
and 					every name that is named, not only in this world, but (the
world) to 					come:

	Now, you know as well as I do you haven't got a hope until you're dead
and raised to take part in the world to come. And if you're dead and
raised in the First Resurrection, you will have  a part in the world to
come. You'll never miss it. Get in that First Resurrection  and you got
it made. Right?  Okay listen:

		(22) 	And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the
head 						over all (church) the church,

		(23) 	Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all (things,
with) all 					(things).

	Which is His Bride, in whom is the complete Word of redemption filled.
Because all things with all things is the Word of God in its finality.
And that perfect consummation redemption. Far beyond Eden, back to where
He said, "You were there, but you can't recall. You were there, and you
bypassed your theophony. But it'll pick you up, if you don't pick it up,
it'll pick you up."

	"Oh, redeemed, how I love to proclaim it, redeemed by the Blood of the
Lamb. Redeemed by His infinite mercy, proving a child of His I sure am."


61.	Listen, let me give you a quote now on this Scripture. Here's what
Bro. Branham said about that spirit of wisdom and revelation: 

		The Spirit of wisdom comes into the church to make known to the church
of 				the revelation of the Holy Ghost. Brings the church into
revealing what day 				we're living in." Now listen, "Just the same as
Gabriel came to Daniel, the 				Holy Spirit comes to the Church in the
last days to reveal the deep secret 					things of God."  [Seventy Weeks
of Daniel  61-08-06]

	What is going to put us in the Resurrection? Now, you may believe what
you want, and I admit you're going to go by your rich experience. And
I'm sorry, I'm still trying to go by mine. I'm trying to believe the
Word of God as It is. And I've only got faith in one thing this morning
and that's what the prophet said. "His Spirit comes in the end time as
Gabriel came to Daniel."

	Proof, show me one man who can tell you your dreams when you forgot it,
and tell the meaning outside of William Branham? Now, what a man was
William Branham, Spirit of Christ, Spirit of Daniel, Spirit of Moses,
Spirit of Jesus, Spirit of Daniel. Five, grace. Grace of God.

62.	Listen, the Spirit came to the Church in angel form to talk to a
prophet. So we would know the hour in which we live. And the great
mystery which in turn would put us in the Resurrection. Now, you may
believe what you want, I have no argument. But brother/sister, you're
fighting for your life, I'm fighting for mine. And ever since last
August I have realized one thing, it's so simple it's going over our
heads. It's so simple. 

	Are we now going to act what the prophet said? What he said, "That
Spirit comes identical as It came to Daniel." Are we going to change
what he said in the 'Seven Weeks of Daniel', and if we don't Daniel's
Seventy Weeks you'll not ever see the Seals? 

	Now, what happened in Daniel? He had visions of the world which started
from the head down, gold, silver, brass, iron. William Branham reversed
it, and took it from the feet up. Daniel again.  

63.	Now listen: Daniel spoke of the vision sealed up. Time was halted
for two thousand years that the Gentile Bride would make it. It was
sealed. The Book of Revelation said in chapter 10: "Seal up the
thunders."  But in Revelation 22, It says, "Seal not the Book."
Somewhere between Revelation 10, and Revelation 22, the Book becomes
unsealed, which means Daniel's vision becomes unsealed, which means that
Mighty One has got to come down and talk to a prophet, to open the Book
to show the hour we're living in. To show who and what we are. To lay It
out, and by faith see It, and believe It.

	Now, Bro. Branham said, "We saw our names in the Book of Life." In His
Book of Life, It's a Book of redemption. It's a Book that Bro. Branham
mentions, the Lamb Life, he said, "God sows the wheat." He did, and that
wheat was perfect. But you see, the life kept going up, and drying,
behind it, drying, drying, until it's brought forth in this hour the day
when there's no shuck as far as you and I are concerned. We …?...  not
with you and me. We are become the wheat.

 	Now listen, it's the same way with life, Lamb Life and Book of Life.
They're the same thing, but they're different, because it's one Book.
God sowed the original, but something came into It. So, you have Lamb
Life coming up, and you have Life coming up. But at the end time It's
the Book of Redemption open, which is Lamb Life, and Life, and It's all
exposed. Do you see It? Do you understand how Matthew 25 isn't the
nations out here because of Israel? It's the Gentile's judged at the
White Throne, and the Lamb and the Bride are sitting there doing it. Who
understood it before the prophet preached it, and who could believe it,
except by vindication?  So the prophet told them, now he said, "At this
end time the whole Book is open." It's all open. 

64.	. Now listen,   how do we know we're Bride, because we were called
in at the reading of the will. Listen brother/sister, look it's too
simple. It's so simple we're going to have to try something else though.
I'm not kidding. 2 Thessalonians 2: 

		(1) 	Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus 			
		Christ, and by our gathering together…

	And Bro. Branham said, "Our gathering together was categorically the
Seventh Church Age messenger's Message." And it goes on to the
separation of these systems those who love the truth other's don't. 
What are we here for this morning? Are we here looking at what God did
in this earth mightily manifested? Listen brother/sister, do you realize
that Bro. Branham died at that …?...  when he had his eulogy, that God
Almighty did mighty signs in the heaven. I looked at that sun dancing
and jumping, which it can do,  but it had a black plague over it. It had
a red plague over it. It have a green plague over it. It had a blue
plague over it. And around four o'clock or a little earlier. I went to
pick my wife up, because she stayed with Sis. Branham who couldn't be
there.  

	Suddenly from one side of the sun, honestly before God, I lie not…
all the way from the sun, came down on the left side, and …?... birds
of scarlet gold. And on the right side, birds of solid brass, …?...
right  down the earth, and as it came between the sun and the white
building, the building turned either red, or gold according to what
…?...  A mighty salute in the heavens to God's great man at this end
time, who came and brought a Message, a revelation. With him I
identified with and see my name, It opens that Book and I ee Him, Who is
my Redeemer.

	What more do I want to see? You say, "This is going to come back." Oh,
I have no doubt, many things are going to come. But let me tell you one
thing: except This comes, you're right back to where you were in Adam. 

65.	 "All to Jesus I surrender." The first step of surrender, don't ask
any questions. Don't have any doubts, just believe. Bro. Branham said
one night, he said, "How many believe, understand this Message?"  He
said, "Raise your hands." And you know what, they went out. 

	And Sis. Meda said, "Bill, (she said) no, you said to raise your hand,
but those who understood  everybody around they raised their hands, but
(she said) I couldn't raise mine, because I couldn’t  understand." 

	He said, "Oh…" 

	She said, "The tears just gushed out of his eyes and down his cheeks."

	He said, "Meda, only believe, only believe, and you're not required (he
cried) anything else, only believe, believe all things are possible."  

	Because He died, and in his death is proved by His Resurrection, he
rectified everything. Oh dear Zion bleeding Lamb I wonder how often  he
must cry and plea with people like you and me,  Who tell us we turned
our backs on the One redemptive …?... Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
Oh God, if I could turn my back forty years turn my heart back, what a
different person I'd be. As  God tried to show me one time, but I
wouldn't believe  it now, forty years done, still struggling to simply
believe the simplicity of faith of Jesus Christ. Said if one died then
all were dead. He died for all, all being dead though when He rose, all
rose with Him.

66.	I  see that Book open, and I see just one thing my dear Jesus,
bleeding Lamb fully exposed.    I see what he planned. I see what He
did, and I see what He's doing. I see the future, and I see I'm part of
that by Your grace, O God. If there's any other way I'm not going to
make it, because I know I won't make it, any other way I haven't got a
hope, I haven't got a prayer. If I was the best man …?... stand before
Him, I couldn't do it, I couldn't stand before that white Light of 
judgment. I couldn't stand before God, but I see a man there as he had a
revealing I had, every temptation I can think, God, maybe I've got a
chance this morning. Because Jesus died and made it… all to Him I owe
…?...  I'm still suffering from …?... He tarries, you'll die. you'll
have your aches and your pains. Sure.

	But one of these days we're going to come forth, there'll be no sorrow,
there'll be aches, there'd be no pain. Because there's been redemption
not just the soul but the body.  But it's into those Seven Seals are
opened, you can say what you want. The Seventh Seal was opened. One
thunder opened, Seven Seals under the Seventh Seal, through seven
thunders. And we saw in that man the One Who came according to prophetic
spirit …?... In the Book, 'Spoken Word is the Original Seed'. And he
said, "That One will sow the seed of the entire Bible from the serpent."
And that's exactly where redemption got its start, because he messed the
whole thing up to the prophet of the former rain. And He's got to be
there, because He's the One that clarifies the whole thing. "Their eyes
of understanding being opened." We can see Him, that great Redeemer. See
Him and know what His inheritance is, a little Bride down here.

67.	Oh, how blessed my brother, my sister. He said, "Look, my little
Bride, I give it all to you."

	You say, "What has He  got?"

	He's got a Bride, and she's got it all. So, when He gets her. He gets
it all back. Oh, beautiful, beautiful. I've never see such repentance.
I've never seen such glory. I'll never see such wonderful things. Here's
the One, we can go down if we were in the pits of hell, and bring us all
back …?...	

	[Bro. Vayle and congregation sings:] 

	Oh how I love Jesus, oh how I love Jesus. 							Oh how I love Jesus,
because He first loved me.

	(…?... His death)

	I'll ever adore Him, I'll ever adore Him, 								I'll ever adore Him,
because He first loved me.  

	You know, we have Jesus in our hearts, but it sure is never wrong to
sing that song, …?... our hearts Lord Jesus. Not as though He is not
there, but on the very premise that we'd never recognize Him. In the
theophany  I think it was old A. J. Gordon …?...  not sure, who
preached on Jesus being back in the temple. [this portion not clear] He
had a vision of Jesus coming up the aisle in church looking for the lost
sheep.

68.	And he said, "I barely ask you what can be more despicable, what
could be worse? This will be praying He is there when He is not there,
or to deny that He isn't there when He is." I think my brother, my
sister it's far worse for you and I to deny in one moment of unbelief
the fact that He is there and what He is.  Dear bleeding Lamb, brother
and sister, I don't tell you the truth to eternity He's the bleeding
Lamb. There's nothing else, there's nothing else. You look for a Lion
from the tribe of Judah, you're going to find a Lamb. You look for One
who can bring about a Resurrection you're going to find a Lamb. You look
for One who is going to rebuild the world, you're going to see a Lamb.
He's a Man.

	They looked, they said, "Is there a Man, thank God there was a Man."
Because I'm a man and you're a man. Redemption the price paid, the Book
open. The call, "Come to the Supper." All you got to do is come. "Well,
I've got to have a garment." You're getting it right now. Not to worry,
He supplies everything. You don't have to bring your own flowers. He'll
even give you the crown, you can talk to …?... too. If any man is
going to glory, he's going to glory in the Lord. Even the archangel, 
the cherubim, the four beasts, they're going to glory before the Lamb.
See, John was the one that died in the wilderness. (See?) 

69.	Oh, brother/sister, I tell you what, I don't know about you, I don't
want to be …?... for just one minute, because this is asfar as I am
concerned this is the greatest thing I've discovered. Like we said to
Dr. Simpson, the man that discovered …?... What was the greatest
discovery made? I was a sinner, and Jesus Christ is my Savior. My great
discovery is that Jesus is my Redeemer every bit of Him. It's all in His
hands, sink or swim, I'm committed.

	Live or die, I've got no hope but Jesus. If He's failed, I'm failed. If
He'd go back on His Word,  it's all over. Whatever He does, that's it.
(See?) I see that this morning. Here a dying Lamb. Not now me bearing,
not me bearing the cross. Oh I should bear my cross, that's fine, I
will. But that's not it, I could bear a thousand crosses, that wouldn't
…?... God …that I should glory save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ. The Lord bless you. Shall we rise.

	Heavenly Father, we go on this day which has been set aside, we know
it's Mother's day, when many churches are  honoring mother's, and the
poor little lady that's bound in it, literally tore her hair and rest in
peace with governors, put that day away, I made a mistake in Jesus day.

	Lord, we are and mothers,  you honored  them too, which is fine. So,
we're glad that we made this a day of talking about Jesus our Redeemer,
because of what mother and father did was just bring them into a world
of sin, and you took us out of it, hallelujah.  Cleaned us up, lock,
stock and barrel, so it couldn't be called common or unclean …?...
Walking in the light of revelation of what Jesus did, what He means.
Father, let that sink into our hearts this morning and never leave us, 
give us the same revelation, Lord, that you gave the prophet. We ask
these mercies in Jesus' Name. Amen.

	Brother/sister, I think I might have told you what's not on a tape.
When Bro. Branham was up in the Colorado Mountains  and the storm was
stopped,  he saw that mother doe and the two fawns, and he slapped them
off and said, "Beat it, I won't shoot you. I gave my word and I'm
keeping it." And God said to him, " You kept your word, how much more
will I keep Mine." He never told me this, before God I lie not. 

	When I was with him in the Fall of '64 and he was in New York for Bro.
Vic's church up there, I could see in his face that something had
happened to him. So, he told me the story, he said, "Lee…(from the
moment he said to me,)  how much more I keep my word, (he said) I have
no sense of guilt no consciousness of guilt."

	That is brother/sister what I'm talking about this morning, is that
faith in Christ our Redeemer. And that Book of Redemption which is all
about Him and us, open. And He can say under that Seventh Seal by the
revelation in a prophet,  I have no sense of guilt. You say, "Well was
he perfect in himself in that time on? No, no, he wasn't. But he seen
where it all laid. 

	Now look, you may hunger for whatever you see under the adoption, I'm
not going to turn anything  aside, I hope not. But this is one thing
that I don't want to miss. this is the one thing that I don't want to. I
want to see myself in Him. A Redeemer. Not a power-house for God. Not a
wonderful servamt full of virtue, though I sure want that too.
Absolutely, I want everything coming, fine gift. But I want to see
myself in Him from this… until He comes. And just that in my heart
know that He is the Redeemer.  That He is that Word fulfilled. That He
died to accomplish It, and He arose to prove It, and now at the end time
He read the will out for …?.. to hear. It's time to come in My
children. This is  fantastic, but it's so simple. It's just too simple.
Don't, let's not let it go over our heads. Let it go into our heads, and
trickle down into our hearts. Okay shall we go, the little song that we
sing, 'Take the Name of Jesus with you', covered by the Blood, God 
bless you.
