Reigning of Jesus # 1 Bro. Lee Vayle - December 14, 1980 Again we come into Your Presence, where the special anointing of the Word of Almighty God, that we might know It, Lord, as It is set forth. Now just in the Word here, but according to Your understanding as It was given by the prophets; that we might have the revelation which lies therein. And so, we praise You, Lord, that this is not beyond us to ask this, but Your Own Words says, we ask anything according to Your Word You hear us. And if we know that You hear us, we know we have a petition we desire of You. So, Lord, somehow this morning You will help us even if we had to stop preaching. Leave the Word entirely, just get away from It, You will help us to be right with It, O God. And we just ask You therefore in faith at this time then that whatever gift lies within the ministries of the hour that will come forth in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. You may be seated. 1. Well, I'm very glad to be here with you again, that's been a little time. I guess I was here about the end Old Testament May, first part of June, and then I was in Buffalo recently. But kind of felt let to go home Tuesday morning, and I think I did right by going home. I don't think I did right when I got home. I decided I'd put one more day in of activity on Wednesday which I did, so I fell flat on my face on Thursday. And I've a little problem with my health at this time being on the road all these years. It seems that the endocrinlogical system is shot and some days I feel real good and other days I feel real rotten. I can lie down and lie there for an hour to two hours sleeping, and yet I'm just as though I was awake aching and paining with not one bit of strength, and thoroughly exhausted. I get up and feel rottener than ever, and within forty five minutes (phfft) just like I never had anything wrong with me. I don't know what it is, whether it's…well, I know what it is, really it's just as I say, 'the old One-Hoss Shay' is going apart. Not just in the hubs, but in the wheels, in the shafts and just kind of that's what it is. But underneath I think there's some improvement somehow that I can keep moving along until it's time to quit. 2. You just can't be on the road about twenty seven years and not pay a price. You think you are getting away with it, but there's nobody living gets away with anything. If you did, then the Word of God would be entirely void. Because the Scripture says, "All things were made by Him, and all things are maintained by Him," [Colossians 1:16b] and that's talking about the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God and all things were made by Him." [John 1:1] And so, you cannot take even the laws of nature that God laid down, and say, "Well, I'm going to believe God in spite of the fact I'm breaking His laws. Now, that's a lot of hogwash. Because the Word of God that made the nature here is the same Word, the same God that deals in salvation, and everything else that pertains to us. 3. Well, alright if He lets down on the natural, I'm going to tell you flat your spiritual is shot, because if you're not looking for the Millennium, you're not born again. I got to be honest with you. If you're not looking for the Resurrection, you're not born again. And you don't even know what it's all about, because the prophet said, "God had three things in mind: to reveal Himself, to give Himself pre-eminence, and put us back in Eden." So now, what I'm trying to tell you is this, what my little lecture is about on watching everything, is that the physical is what we're looking forward to, and we're in the physical now. Well, if you're thinking that everything is spiritual, you're wiping out the physical of the Resurrection, then you wipe out the physical today. You can't break God's Word anywhere and get away with it. Now, that's what people think they're doing. I remember we had a woman in Florida it illustrates so it won't be over your heads. We used to tell her, "Look, you got to learn to eat a little different." "Aw, (she said) we just pray and God will put the vitamins in the macaroni." How come she died of diabetes? I believe in miracles, but not stupidity. Now, if I break my arm, I've got a right to believe God for a miracle. But if I break God's laws deliberately, although I can get a miracle, I will pay a price if I keep breaking those laws. 4. Now, I could tell you some thing's Bro. Branham said even pertaining to myself and what have you, but I won't bother this morning. But that's the way life is… the whole Word of God is to be considered, and I'm afraid that many people are prone to be inconsiderate when it comes to how God is laid out in His Word, and how's He's laid out in nature. And therefore we pay a price. So, I'm just telling you flat, I know that I'm paying a price by not being careful as I should have been. And when you let these things pile up on you on the road, the stress and all those things, I just don't care how…you may look only fifty-five, and when you're sixty-five, you may look eighty-five when you're fifty-five. It makes no difference how you look, it's under the skin is how you feel. And under the skin doesn't feel so hot sometimes. 5. Anyway, we want to go into the Word this morning. And first of all I want to read in 1 Corinthians 15:20-28. Then I'll just talk to you a little bit before I get into the message which is three hours which I will cut in two. And I won't be here long enough to preach eleven to twelve hours, but there's a possibility I'll be here Thursday night. I'm not sure for sure. I got to pray about that, because there's some things that has to be done back home. But we'll see, and if I'm here Thursday I'll break down and preach a Christmas message which I just don't ever do. No, it's called 'We Have Seen His Star in the West', and it's a Christmas message, but it's scriptural. All right, It says in 1 Corinthians 15:20-28. (20) But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. Now, before I go any further, I want just to express my appreciation to Bro. Palberg. When I used to go west I always when preaching in his church was the highlight of my ministry. And I've been doing some preaching recently that I do not regret, but I feel terribly, terribly disappointed in, because somehow I have the terrible feeling that it wasn't grasped with the intensity to which it is preached, by wherein it is preached. And under a man like Bro. Palberg, I feel had I been in this area preaching, something would be happening to you by now. Because there's an up look which I see is here to be reckoned with that men are not receiving, because they are unaware of what is going on. 6. And Bro. Branham said, "This is the crime of the church, always looking back, always looking forward, but not knowing what is going on." Now, the Spirit of wisdom and revelation was sent to the Church in order to let the Church know the hour in which it was living, and the deep mysterious secrets of God. If that Holy Spirit is here today, then why do we not keep abreast to what is going on? You know why? Because there's too many preachers running around, even pastors with a spirit on them. Running, running, exalting themselves, but not exalting Jesus. Jesus must have the pre-eminence before there's a resurrection. Do you understand what I am saying this morning people here? There has got to be a pre-eminence of Jesus the Christ. Not man! Now, I'm burnt up with this. This is why I'm sick this morning and run down, because it kills me to find men running around. And it's blabber, blabber, blabber personalities and not Him Who died upon Calvary! They don't even know the Capstone has come down. 7. I'd like to see one of you stand in His Presence. That rug is not entirely glued down, but if it was you'd find a way to get under it. (See?) He's got to have the pre-eminence. The revelation has been given, but who gives Him pre-eminence? Oh, I know people think it's some kind of light. Bro. Branham said it wasn't a light. It wasn't …?... Wasn't a power ministry. It's revelation. God is standing back and watch. I'm not mad this morning. I'm always mad. I'm mad at me, and worse than mad at you, and I'm not even mad at you. But I'm mad at you with principles. (See?) People talk about Bride. As I said before, some long time ago, we're so imbued with the world, we always stand back and here comes a lovely bride, so beautifully …?... and hear, [Bro. Vayle sings] "Here comes the bride, here comes the bride." The poor groom stands there like a sucker. Let me tell you, Jesus is no sucker. Anything the Bride has is because He performed …?... Let me tell you flat: all the light Eve had, she got from Adam. Any adornment she had came out of him. Honey, I don't care how pretty you look, you came from Adam. Uh? What about Bride? (Oh, I'll get to preaching eventually.) 8. Let's read It again: (20) But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. (21) For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. (22) For as in Adam all die, even (in identical manner) shall all be made alive (in Christ.) (23) But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. (The word is 'Parousia', His Presence.) (24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, … Now, this is the future perfect tense, wherein something is to happen, but he talks as though It has already happened, because It is going to happen. Nothing is going to stop It from here on in. (Do you follow me?) Nothing is going to stop It. (24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. (25) For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. (26) (And) the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (27) For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is (left out) [omit] excepted, which did put all things under him. (28) And when all things shall be subdued unto him… (wrong word) 9. The word 'subdue' in the Greek is where the man goes into the arena as a dueler, a killer and subdues the other person. This word is the same word, simply means 'put under'. Made subject. Not subdued, but made subject. (Then we'll talk about what that means.) (28) …then shall the Son also himself be (made) subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. Now, what we're seeing here, and what I want to talk about, is the fact that at the time of the Resurrection which demands the Presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, something happens. And when that happens there is a reign sets in by Jesus that is different from any reign we have known of concerning Him. And this reign will go on until Mount Zion where God Himself takes over. Did you hear what I said? Get the tape and hear it again. Because that is exactly what the subject is about this morning. 10. Now, I would say here that the most important verse is to us at this time is the first little portion of verse 27. (27) For he hath put all things under his feet… Now, the next portion of It explains verse 27, the first part: "For he hath put all things under his feet." Now listen, "But when he saith all things are put under him, (whoever that him is) it is manifest…" Not open out there as though somebody wrote on the snow bank, or wrote on a billboard, it is evident that you as a Christian understand this: that God…that He has left out which did put all things under Him. 10. So, the major thing then is this: that all things must be put under the feet of this Person of Whom It is spoken here, and then we know that this Person is Jesus. And then we know from the next portion, but when He saith, "all things are put under Him It is manifested that He is left out, which did put all things under Him. Now, if the Him is Jesus Who is left out that is putting all things under the feet of Jesus. God is! No way can Jesus ever be beyond God. No way. To be equal with is one thing from being over anybody. Now, like we've got in the homes today. The wife is not content to be equal, she wants to take over. Now, in the beginning there was an equality, and there is a co-equality in Christ if they both hold their places. But here It is being said very carefully that God is doing some very special thing for Jesus. So, that every single thing outside of God Himself is literally under Jesus Who is the Christ. 11. Now, we can prove this to be correct and the proper understanding of Scripture from the Book of Psalms 8:1-9, because this is where It is taken from. You always got to check the original sources to make sure you know what's going on. (1) O LORD, our (God), how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. (Why they don't even know His Name.) (2) Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. (3) When I consider thy heavens, the work… This is where Bro. Branham said, "God hiding Himself in simplicity, and revealing the same. God taking the simple things and bringing down the mighty things. (3) When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; (4) What is man, that thou art mindful of him? (or) the son of man, that (You) visitest him? (5) For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. (6 ) (And made) him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; (and) thou hast put all things under his feet: Now, you see, this is what God is doing, God is putting under the feet of a man. And what is He putting under the feet? (7) All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; (8) …fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. (9) O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Now this quote is carried beyond in New Testament revelation where It says that everything is under His feet, and He is reigning due to Somebody doing it for Him. (See?) 12. Now, that this is Jesus. Now listen very carefully how I express myself, because I've got some thoughts here, because I mentioned we are looking at what has happened, already started to happen, and what is going to go plumb over to Mount Zion at the end of the Millennium to the new heavens and the new earth, when the pyramidal City, which is Mount Zion, which is the Bride fifteen hundred miles square at the base, and fifteen hundred miles high with the Lamb on the Throne, and God veiled in the Pillar of Fire above the Throne. Now, that's what we're talking about. And I want to show you today as I would try to show you when I was here before, that this has already started and the people are entirely unaware of it. (See?) This is that like why my little diatribe and my outburst against these people running around the country trying to be somebody, can't shut up and stay home. (See?) They got to run. Let me tell you flat: Bro. Branham's vision of the Seventh Age, The Seventh Age was Hebrews 6. And a man in white went around the world sowing. And he was followed by a man in black. Now, that's this end time. That is not Matthew 13. 13. Now, who went around the world seven times? William Branham. I want to find one person who's running around the world dressed in the same white as the prophet is. It says a man in black signifying error. Some people got an idea that Bro. Branham had a vision of several people running around later in white. How come he told a certain preacher there in Jeffersonville when he wanted to run around with the rest of them, he said, "Stay home, that's the spirit of the Sixth Church Age to carry you over, it's not for this Age." I know that stumbles you, because you're Oneness. You say, "Bro. Vayle this great Message has got to go, great things have got to be done." Then let me tell you this: if Jesus the Christ was God in human flesh, he was the greatest disappointment and the greatest failure the world's ever seen, because He was God. And God can do anything, and He wouldn't do anything. William Branham had a ministry like no man living since Jesus Christ, and he was a total failure in the eyes of the world was what he had. 14. Now, talking about this end time this great thing that started is in process right at this moment is that Jesus evidently has been given a place of authority and of rule at this moment which goes plumb to Mount Zion where God Himself will receive back from having Jesus turned over to Him, what God Himself has started to put under the feet of Jesus in a reigning position. So, my words which I started to tell you, (and I want to be very careful and listen) that this is Jesus both in the Millennium of the First Resurrection, and Jesus of the Second Resurrection, and the New Jerusalem of the new heavens and the earth, and it cannot be denied. So therefore, we see really three complete divisions of what has started to happen and will happen. Now, I want to go over that again. That this One Who is reigning; let me show you: then cometh the end when He, Jesus shall have delivered up the Kingdom to God even the Father, when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power, for He must reign till all enemies are under His feet, and the last enemy destroyed. Now, there's this final destruction at the Lake of Fire, death, for He hath put all things under His feet is a biblical quote of the Word of God that signifies that this had to happen. This is the Old Testament. You put all things under His feet being fulfilled here. 15. Now listen, but when He saith, "All things are under this One is reigning, it is evident that God … that the One that is left out which was putting all things under the One that is reigning, that God might be All in all." Now, we see three factors here. We see Jesus of the First Resurrection and Millennium, we see Him at the White Throne, and we see Him in the new creation of the heaven and the earth. Now, the proof of this is in Hebrews chapter 1 and in chapter 2. Now, you're going to have to listen pretty close and try to stay with me, I'm going to lose you. And if I lose you, it's going to be your tough luck, not mine. 16. [Hebrews 1:] (1) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers (in) the prophets, (that word 'by' is in entirely in error, it's 'in' the prophets, God was in the prophets.) (2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us (in) his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things,…(notice) whom (he has appointed heir of all things, by whom all things) he (also) made the worlds; Now, you can see that someone is making somebody great. It doesn't say the individual's making himself great, although that's true, God magnifies Himself before the people. But It says, somebody is making somebody great. (3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and (the) upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: Now, this gives you a clue here, that this One is so identified with God, that you couldn't tell Him apart if you tried. Because God has so done something to Him and for Him to do something with Him, that He's just there as though God Himself were there. (We'll get into that later on, don't worry.) 17. Now, (now listen:) (4) Being made so much better than the angels,… Now, that isn't God, there's something being made there. This is where Bro. Branham said, "God reduced Himself in such simplicity and in the creature form He took a sperm and an egg, and developed It by the woman that he could have a body." When the Holy Ghost at River Jordan, God Himself filled that body, that was God. Now: (4) Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (5) …the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (6) And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. (7) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. (8) But unto the Son he said, (now listen,) unto the Son He said, Thy throne, O God,… And this is not God talking to God, or one God talking to another God. It's what God Himself said what He is going to do with Himself. (See?) (8) …is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Now, he tells you, Somebody is going to be sitting there. You try as you will, you'll never bypass Him, that's God to you. You make one move, now God's still behind the Throne. I want to tell you something brother/sister, to this day Jesus, the body was raised up behind the Throne, but you've got a different picture today. (I'll tell you where the quote is after awhile. Maybe not this very message, but another one.) 18. Now, all right. (9) Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Now, if this One is God, how many gods are there, there's a plethora of gods. There's a thousand gods, there's a million gods. This is not God, just like Bro. Branham said, "Jesus is not God but He is." Just hold on, we're not finished, just let your thinking go. I'll just give you a little clue I hope before we're over here. (Are you with me?) I think I'm kind of losing you. Now you listen, be as bright as you can, and be as sober as you can, and as prayerful and receiving as you can. I am not giving you a line here, believe me I know what I am talking about; or why I'm saying it. Because if you don't see this, you'll never give Him pre-eminence there's no way. You'll fool around with men every single time. Creeds and dogmas, denominations, organization all the old stuff you're supposed to come out of. 19. The question is: what did you come out of, and what came out of you? "Oh, I came out of the hospital." But did the leprosy come out of you? "I came out of Pentecost." Did Pentecost come out of you? I'm afraid many people say they come out, but nothing came out of them. Well, fap, a bucket of sea water in the ocean is a bucket of sea water outside the ocean. What have you got? Hogwash. (10) And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: (11) They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they shall wax old as a garment; (12) …as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. Now, he's telling you something there. This looks forward to the New Jerusalem and the Millennium and past the Millennium; the new creation. (13) But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Now, this is the same thing we found over there in Corinthians. The same thing we found over there in the Psalms. (14) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Now, you've got a whole lot of things being done here brother/sister by God having done something for the people that are fellows of this One here that He's got on His Throne. And identifies Himself with so perfectly that you without a revelation will never know one from the other. You end up with two gods, not three, but Jesus isn't God. Because God cannot be born, and God cannot die. No way, no way, no way, no way. You think that God created Himself. Wouldn't that be good if God created Himself? Why, the best you could do is clone yourself. Get one cell and… oh, where did the one cell come from? Was God a clone? You see where your thinking goes if you don't get into Scripture and understand It properly. 20. [Hebrews 2:] (1) Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed…(and so on) But, let's go to verse 5. (5) For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come,… He hath not put in subjection the world to come, which is the new heavens and the new earth and Mount Zion. Then who is it in subjection to? Under the Son. (See?) Under the Son. Then of course as Bro. Branham said, "At that time the Pillar of Fire stands there, and Jesus the Lamb of God is on the Throne, the Pillar of Fire above Him, (and he said) but They're one." And he said, "That's the time before they call, I've answered." You see how the Kingdom gets turned back to God? God's just everywhere by Divine Mind. You couldn't turn Him, you couldn't think, but It's God moving. You talk about a time brother. Your minds can't grasp it, …?... No way, can you grasp it. But you can believe It. You can believe It, because it's the Bible. (See?) Sure, I'm not preaching anything but the Bible. (6) …in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that (you're) mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? (7) (You've made) him a little lower than the angels; (you've crowned) him with glory and honour, (you've) set him over the works of (your) hands: (8) (You have) put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. No sir, as High Priest all things were not under Him. And right at this moment all things are still not under Him. But you're coming to the place now where everything is going to be under Him. You'll find out. 21. Now: (9) But we see Jesus,… Now, he's giving you the clue to the whole thing what this is all being talked about. "Who is this One?" Jesus. Now, who was Jesus? Jehovah Savior. God Who took on the human form. So, he's talking about the human form here. (9) …we see Jesus, made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, … But doesn't It tell us in another Scripture that God Himself redeemed it by suffering death? Now, God can't die. Jesus was the Blood of God, Bible says so. Very funny thing, the Bride is the Blood of God today too. That's a mystery. Bro. Branham said so, it's easy to understand, "the life is in the blood, and the Life is in the Bride, so therefore, she's the Blood of God." This is the Blood of God. (9) …we see Jesus, made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that by the grace of God should taste death for every man. The word 'man' should be crossed out of you Bible, it should be in italics, it is not man at all, it is simply 'every', and then down below It tells you what 'every' was, 'son'. (10) For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. (11) For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one (source:) (Jesus in every son of God is from One source, which is God Himself.) for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 22. Now, why is He not ashamed to call us brethren? Because we are. You know there's a lot of brothers that don’t look too good. …?... You know everything that you and I do reflects on somebody? Well, what if one of the boys in the family was a real mean kid and got on drugs and dope and killed somebody? Say, about a fifteen year old boy killed somebody. Well, first of all they'd say, "Well, the parents raised the kid right." That kid was taught not to lie, steal do all kinds of rotten things, but he did it. But you can't control your kids. But every time the parents walked down the street they'd say, "Well, that's the parents of the boy that killed that little kid out there, or raped that little girl." And the little girls who walk down, (the sisters) and the people would say, "Well, (the kids would say) don't touch them, because they're the sisters." Their brother is that boy. 23. See, no matter what you and I do, it affects people. People think they can do what they want. But there's always…everybody's affected by every thought and every word, and every deed that anybody does. And so therefore, nobody has the right to do anything that isn't right. But you know, you can't say…well, the parents can't say, "Well that kid that killed is not my boy." It is their boy. The little girls can't say, "That's not my brother," because it is the brother. That's what It says here. Doesn't say you're the chief man on the totem pole, the greatest Christian that ever lived. It' says, "He's not ashamed." Because they come from one Source. They might not look like it. They might not be …?... That's why Bro. Branham distinctly said, "The evidence is not a life." Now, Mr. Coleman of New York, he can blaspheme the Word all he wants and say, "The evidence is the Word plus." But Mr. Coleman is wrong. He's wrong, entirely wrong. The prophet said, "the only evidence he knew was believing the Word of the hour." So, I just go with the prophet. 24. Now, It says: "He's not ashamed to call them brethren," because they are brethren. That's why the end time is not fruit, not great ministries, not great this, not great something else. "It's believing the Word, and the great thing that God is doing," Bro. Branham said. I'm talking about this morning whether you're catching it or not is this: Bro. Branham said, "That great thing coming…" (and I don't know where that quote is, it could be 'Spoken See is the Original Seed', I've got to go through and find it. But he said, "The thing that's going to be done, (he said) there's nobody can do it." He said, "You can't try to do it, you can't think it, there's no way it can be done, God's got to do it." And that's what I'm speaking of today that God is doing something, starting with Jesus relative to this hour that is going on, and people don't even know it. You know why? Because they don't want to know it. It's too tame. It's too tame. That's why people want to work for their salvation. That's why people believe in works and everything else. That's why they turned down Jesus' dying upon Calvary. Can't stand the Blood, because it's something that Jesus did. Is something that man's got to stand back and accept. He's got to stand back and look at It, and let God have His way. But man wants to keep coming in. 25. Now, the prophet's off the scene today. Now you know something? Give God a chance to do something instead of all these guys running around messing things up. One of these days they'll be stopping in their tracks, don't worry. (12) Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. (13) And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. (4) Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might (bring to nothing) him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; (15) And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (16) For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.] (17) Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be (the) merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. (18) For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Now, It tells you right here, that this One under whose feet God is placing all things is the High Priest unto the Bride to bring her in and to keep her in to that hour. So, that she will be a part of all things with Him that are placed under His feet. Now, that's in Ephesians, (but it's alright, we'll go into later on.) All right, now immediately that you saw in here, you saw in here the Millennium; you saw in here Zion; you saw in here the First Resurrection; and of course the Second Resurrection would have to be in there without being said, because if you start with the First Resurrection and you go all the way to Mount Zion, you know the Second Resurrection comes in between. 26. Now, immediately I want you to know something that we'll look into later under identification, and that is in [Hebrews] chapter 2;14-18 (14) Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; (15) And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (16) For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. (17) Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be (the) merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. (18) For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to (help) them that are tempted. (Now, what's He doing? He's acting as the High Priest.) Now, in these verses that what God is now doing for Jesus is placing everything but Himself under Jesus, and He's doing it because Jesus wrought our salvation. Now, why is God doing this thing? See, that's your question. Why is God doing at the end time what I'm talking about now? The starting of a specific reign which will put everything under His feet, bringing everything into perfect harmony and reconciliation until the Son can say, "Father, here's the Kingdom the way it was supposed to be in the beginning." So, now that the Father moves and brings through everything, "Before they call, I answer." [Isa. 65:24] That means, before they have one thought God has already 'thunk' it out for them. (See?) One with God, that you and I only can…we can talk about. But look, I don't pretend I grasp it in the fullness. I don't pretend, I preach it better than I know it, but that's the way it's got to be. Because first of all comes the mechanics, then comes the revelation, then comes the implementation. See, that's how faith works. 27. Now, this is why Joseph is the perfect type in the days of Israel. Let's go back to Genesis 41:38-45. Now, we're going to talk about Joseph. All the talk about Joseph we're going to get to not as far as I'm concerned. All right: (38) And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? (There you are, that's our Joseph.) (39) And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Why? "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God." [Jn 1:1] There's a Logos, the Author, the Knower of all things. (40) Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. The power behind the throne. Pharaoh would not abdicate the throne. But, you'll notice that God abdicates His Own Throne, (I'll show you by Scripture, a quote of Bro. Branham later on.) (40) … only in the throne will I be greater than thou. (41) And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. (42) And Pharaoh took off his ring from (off) his hand, and put it (on) Joseph's hand, (that's a sign you see of the seal) arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; Complete authority, and the perfect ability for perfect authority would have to be white linen, which is righteousness, because no man can reign outside of character. As …?... somebody said, "Power corrupts, perfect power, perfect corruption." Perfect righteousness, perfect rule. Here's our Joseph. (42) (Pharaoh said, I set you over all… and so on.) … a chain about his neck. (43) And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all of Egypt. (44) And Pharaoh said (to) Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all of Egypt. (See?) You've got your Joseph. Now, what was Joseph doing? He was in supreme control through the Supreme Controller. And there wasn't one thought that Joseph had that Pharaoh didn't stand behind. There wasn’t one thing. Why? Because he was a deliver that saved Egypt. So, there was nothing that was not placed in his hands. (See?) 28. Now, let's go to Psalms 8:2 again. (2) Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. Now, that's part of that Psalm there which showed the very simplicity. That goes back to Matthew 21:14-16. It's not too relevant to the subject, but It is relevant in a certain degree to this hour, because Bro. Branham used It showing the simplicity would confound all the people. Because the way God was doing things nobody wanted to believe the way God was doing things. And they couldn't see God doing things even though it was visible, because it wasn't done in a corner. 29. [Matthew 21:] 14-16 (14) And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. (15) And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things he did, the children crying in the temple, saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, (16) And said, Hearest thou these…(why don't you make them shut up?) And Jesus (said,) Yea; (haven't you) read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? Now, you've got the same thing right today in the very simplicity that went on in the times back there. We got the same simplicity going on today that God is actually magnifying the Lord Jesus Christ, and people don't want it to be known. Now, to further elucidate on part one which is I talked about Jesus of the First Resurrection and the Millennium, because that's we go into three parts. 30. We're going to 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 for a ranking, you've got to watch it. Now, the order of the ranking is: Christ is the first-fruit, afterward they that are Christ's at His Parousia, His Presence. Now remember, the first part of the First Resurrection is over, and Paul is preaching to us concerning the Resurrection, the second part of the First Resurrection which we are about to come into. Now, watch again verse 22 must be recognized, here It is: (22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all (are) made alive. So, you're going to have to look at that verse, because It talks about Adam. 31. So let's go back to Adam. Now, I'm trying to be as careful as I can weaving in all the Scripture I can. [Genesis] chapter 1:24-31, we got to read quite a bit. (24) And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, creeping thing, beast of the earth (and) his kind: and it was so. (25) And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, over the cattle, over all the earth, over every creeping thing that (creeps) upon the earth. Now listen, that's what God said about the man that He made. And you know the man flopped. But you know in Psalms 8, the man that didn't flop gets it. (27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Now, hold your finger there. Will you do me a favor? Now you listen let me read something over here: "Who being the brightness of His glory, the express image of His person, upholding all things by the Word of His power." [Heb 1:2] You show me that's different from Adam. No different. God stood right behind Adam, Adam stood with the Word, God stood right behind him. God made in His Own image. God put Eve in Adam. Took her out of him, God put us in Him took …?... (28) …God blessed them, and said,… Be fruitful, and multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, fowl of the air, over every living (and creeping) thing … 32. Okay, hold your finger there, I'll get it over here for you. "For you have made Him a little lower than the angels; and crowned Him with honor and glory, made him have dominion over the works of Your hands. And put all things under His feet. All sheep and oxen, yea, and all beasts of the field; all fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and everything that passes through the sea." [Psalms 8:5-8] Show me the difference, there's none. And you say God's not going to restore Adam? Why do you think Jesus is called the last Adam? Because He does the last job. No more jobs to do. Then turns it back to God, where God rests again. (29) And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. (30) And to every beast of the earth, (and the) fowl of the air, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth, (where) there is life, I have given herb (to eat)… (31) And God saw every thing (was good) and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 33. [Genesis] chapter 2:16-20 (16) And God (said to) the man, Of every tree of the garden (you may) freely eat: (17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: the day (you) eat thereof thou shalt surely die. (18) And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. (19) And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. (20) And Adam gave names to all cattle, the fowl of the air, (the) beast of the field; (he didn't get down to the bugs and insects and things did he?) Man never understood ecology from that time on. Well, man doesn't understand ecology, and what's in God's nature, everything goes to pot. Right? "And God destroys them that destroys the earth." [Rev 11:18b] Only the knowledge of God can ever bring this earth back. 34. All right…[omit] okay, Genesis 3:17-19 (17) …unto Adam he said, Because (you) hearkened unto the voice of (your) wife, and (ate) of the tree, which I commanded thee, saying, (You don't) eat of it: cursed is the ground for (your) sake; in sorrow (you shall) eat of it all the days of (your) life; (18) Thorns and thistles (it'll) bring forth…and (you'll) eat the herb of the field; (19) In the sweat of (your) face (you'll) eat bread, till (you) return (to) the ground; out of it (you were) taken: for (you're) dust (you) art, and dust (you shall) return. Now, hold it, that was the body. That doesn't say one thing about the thing that God made in His Own image. That just contained what God breathed into it, the Holy Spirit. The body is the tabernacle. And Adam called his wife name Eve, because she was the mother of all living, but he wasn't the father of all living. How about that? Okay, verse 22-24. (22) And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become one of us, to know good and evil: now, lest he put forth his hand, take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: (23) Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. (24) …he drove out the man; he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Genesis 5:1-5, that's about Adam. (1) …the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; (2) Male and female created he them; blessed them, called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. (3) And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years,… How come people missed the revelation Bro. Branham said our name is Jesus? (Huh?) He didn't get to …?... What did Bro. Branham call the Bride? "Mrs. Jesus." What did God call Eve, Adam. God didn't call her Eve. Adam called her Eve. God didn't call her Eve. (I threw that one at you. I'll tell about it later on, don't worry. I wouldn't kid you, I wouldn't plague you. I'll tell you where it lies, don't worry.) (2) …he blessed them, called their name Adam, in the day (which) they were created. (3) And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and (in) his image; and called his name Seth: (4) And (all) the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: (5) And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. (As in Adam all die.) 35. All right, that's what we see back here, "As in Adam all died, even in identical manner all were made alive in Christ." [1 Cor 15:22] Now, we saw the picture, we drew certain things from It. We see then what's happened in Jesus our Lord, is Who is the last Adam, Who is going to make every one of us alive which were in Adam, but died to Adam's sin. Okay back to 1 Corinthians 15:35-50 to see how It works out. (35) But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? with what body do they come? (36) …fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: (37) And that which thou sowest, (you don't sow the) body (that's going to) be, but (a little) grain, (a little seed itself. And) it may (be a) wheat, or (an oat or a barley, or rye, who knows?) (38) But God (gives) it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. Now, speaking of the Resurrection: (39) All flesh is not the same flesh: there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. That lets me know positively that according to the seed in the Millennium and the ages to come the birds and the bees and everything is going to come back again. There's going to be a resurrection for them. Now: (40) There also (there's) celestial bodies, terrestrial bodies: the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. That means, when God dissolves the universes, He's going to bring them back again in their resurrection. 36. Now, (41) (The) glory of the sun, (differs from the) glory of the moon, and (the) glory of the stars: (differs) from (one). That means, when He dissolves those, He's going to bring them back again. And you'll notice something, everything's got an order, everything's got a relationship. And the relationship is so perfect God's His Own that runs it all through Jesus Christ the Lord. You see why I want to give Him pre-eminence? Shut up, you birds that run around the world making a mockery of this Message and my God. I wouldn't be sick today except for my grieving and grouching, and groaning and grumbling over it. When I preach, the people don't get it. (You follow me?) You see what the Resurrection is all about here? Don't think for one minute it's not all coming back, it's all coming back. You see every little bit…I don't know how much, but you realize that only one sixth of this earth right today is land, the other five sixth's is water? And if you take billions and billions, and billions of people here, trillions of them I guess. And how do we know how big this world was in the beginning, it's shrunk and got lopsided. Maybe at the beginning it was for our five times bigger than it is now. What if God traded dimensions within dimensions? There's seven dimensions now, what if He created fourteen dimensions? Do you realize out in that air out there they'd shoot certain laser beams, and electronic beams through the air, you could have a thousand messages going right through your ears right now, and not even know one message has gone through them. I understand one wire by impulses can carry thousands of messages at one time. 37. So, the creation of God into a… into its perfection of dimensions, every single thing that God ever had born here could come right back here in… form. Let your thinking go for once. Get out of your tongues talking Pentecostal junk. (42) So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; raised in incorruption: Why goodness me, Bro. Branham said, "You can travel with the speed of thought." I don't believe we're going to have to do it, or need to do it. But we can. What dimension is that? How many people can be put into a thimble then at that rate as it were? Of course they're not going to compress them in. I'm just talking in these terms to let you know. Don't let your minds get boggled down the…two inches of soil…[not clear] Surely heavens, brother you're graduated, you're at the end time. You're walking and talking with God, not back in some corny messed up age of theology of denominations. You're at the end of the ages. Paul mentioned there, what's going to be when the end of the ages come upon this people? Bro. Branham said, "Why, you think Pentecostal is great, this is a million times greater." I'm ready to voice this morning it's a billion times greater. (See?) 38. All right, keep reading here: (44) It is sown a natural body; raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. (45) …it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. (46) Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; afterward that which is spiritual. Now brother/sister, if you look at the natural and can recognize how tremendous the natural is, compound that in the spiritual which is a billion times greater, where does it leave you? Infinite! (See?) (47) The first man is of the earth, (is) earthy; the second man…Lord (of) heaven. (48) As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they that (is) heavenly. Just identical to Jesus, no different, except in the ranking. The body is the same, everything's the same. Just in the ranking, the placing is all, no difference. (49) And as we have borne the image of the earthy, (we'll) bear the image of the heavenly. (50) Now this I say, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit … 39. So don't use a flesh and blood mind. Let your minds go and become spiritual. Become expansive. Bro. Branham kept saying, "Let you minds go, let your minds go, let your thinking go." And he couldn't get them to let their thinking go for nothing. I supposed I'm the first guy that did it on the very grounds I begin to recognize that Bro. Branham wasn't speaking fundamental theology, he was speaking William Branham theology. So I had to take every thought I was translating in midair like speaking in tongues and prophecy, I was taking every single thought that he was taking and translating it to my stupid thinking instead of saying, "Hey!" One day I said, "He ain't saying that." After four and a half hours of beating my head in, one morning I found out he wasn't saying that. Let your thinking go. You say, "Bro. Vayle, why are you talking …?... because it's already started." The seed is already sown in the members of the body of whom I am speaking this morning. All these years men and women have listened to latter-rain hogwash. "Where am I in the body of Christ? Place me in the body of Christ. Prophesy, this, that." It's nonsense! God's doing It, nobody knows it but God. (See?) [1 Corinthians 15:] (50) …this I say, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 40. Now, going back to Psalms 8:5-9 again, because that's where It come from. (5) For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honour. (6) …(made) him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; (and) put all things under his feet: I'm going to tell you right here, because look, I don't know when I'm going to get back and preach to you again. When this talks about here, "crowned Him with glory and honor," God took Him aside and made a pronouncement and what God said about Him was the glory and honor. Because it was God's assessment of that Man. It went over your heads didn't it? It went over everybody's heads, because you said, "Bro. Vayle, glorious, hallelujah, beautiful lights, and beautiful pin-ball machines lighting up and wonderful florescence, and oh, great tremendous things, hallelujah." Forget it! It was what God's assessment was, what God said is the glory and the honor, because what God said is going to come to pass my brother, sister. And if God says you're my daughter, you're my son you're glorified. You got glory right now, because God assessed you. You say, "I want glory, I want to heal the sick, I want to raise the dead. I want to be a big-shot, hallelujah." That's what's wrong with this Message this morning. They don't tell what God said, it's not enough. I get burnt up, you're Canadians, you've got a meeting up here. You wonder why I get a little disgusted around this country. Oh, Sammy Johnson runs around, he comes he said, "Bro. Vayle…(I'll mention names, I don't give a rip anymore) Bro. Vayle you hurt my feelings." 41. I said, "How Sammy?" "Why, (he said) two years ago I came and said, "Bro. Vayle says the prophet said that the Holy Ghost does not receive what tongues evidence, or emotion, or signs, or some feeling," He said, "How do you feel when people speak with tongues?" And I said, "Suspicious, Sammy." What am I supposed to say? "Oh brother, it's all right for you, because you're somebody special, and God never meant what He said." …?... they're not supposed to with tongues, they're speaking with tongues? Are you sitting here this morning and say, "Oh, Bro. Vayle, it's all right." Well come on! You see, I don't read your hearts, but I can sure hammer you to find out, maybe get a little twinkle in your eye to catch on where you stand. I know I preach this way, don't worry, I watch you. You're looking kind of shifty some of you right now, because you're sitting there scared. You better be too, because you're still back in Pentecost. 42. If they're not supposed to do it and they're doing it, who's preaching then, who's getting the Holy Ghost? Is God? No, they're not getting the Holy Ghost, it couldn't be possible if it's not supposed to come that way. You say, "But Bro. Vayle, the prophet said that eventually." He said, "Yes there will come a time when a person was so full up and trying to praise God that his own language would fail, he would speak in tongues." That's the time he said. Or you're put in a room. Now, if I was a doctor and I said, "These injections are not going to make your eyeballs turn green, and your toes turn pink." And every single time your eyeballs turn green and your toes got pink, I'm supposed to say, "Well, Dr. Vayle, I appreciate you, I know everything is just ready." Oh come on. Oh come on, if your eyeballs turn green and they're not supposed to, and your toe nails turn pink and it's not supposed to, wouldn't you be suspicious? "Oh, (you say) but Bro. Vayle, you see talking in tongues is different." No, it isn't, you just backslid off the Word. I don’t want to fault anybody, but let's get right down to nitty-gritty, I'm sick and tired of all this hogwash. I want to get out of here, and the quicker I get out of here the better. I just don't want to be stupid enough to take my life to get out of here. But I tell you what, it's pretty close to that I can't stand this stuff anymore. I don’t know about you, but I'm at the end of the trail. I know one thing, if this isn't it, it's going to take two thousand more years and it still won't be it. Because there's no God as we know God, and there's no redemption as we know redemption. It's all ascended masters. 43. And every two thousand years a great One comes on the scene. But I've got news for you, my God right now is putting everything under the feet of Jesus to the very end under the Seventh Seal. As the Roman candle Bro. Branham spoke of, not the Church Age, not of the Age come the Seals, out of the Seals come the Trump, out of the Trump comes the vials. Out of the vials come the plagues. No, he's talking about the Seven Seal itself, we're under It. The Seventh Seal which is revelation. Christ Himself placed by God heading the Church. God Himself doing a work of bringing everything in order. Making that One pre-eminent in order to bring us back to the Garden. (See?) Now, so make no mistake about it. This is Jesus the Millennial Man of the First Resurrection, and the entire first-fruits are right here. For It says, "Every man in his order, Christ the first-fruits, afterward they that are Christ's at Christ's Parousia." (Which means 'His Presence') [1 Cor 15:23] 44. Now, over in Ephesians 2:11-22. (11) Wherefore remember, that (you) being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; (12) That at that time (you're) without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, without God in the world: (13) But now in Christ Jesus (you) who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. (14) (Who) is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; (15) Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; (16) And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Now, he's talking about a Bride, He has made them both Jew and Gentile right here. (17) And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, (that's the Gentile) and to them that were (near.) (That's the Jew.) (18) For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. (19) Now therefore (you) are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, the household of God; (20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles, prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; (at that time, but today He's the Capstone.) Now, if He's the Capstone, he's reigning, because He's in the ascendency. And everything must be in order. If you had a blackboard up here, it's okay if you don't. But that's why I like a blackboard and I try to show you that that picture they have where Bro. Branham's got the stature of a perfect man is a hundred percent wrong. The Capstone is no longer up there, the Capstone is down, because there's nothing more to come down. He said, "See those little lines in there coming down?" Why didn't Roy Borders put those little lines in there coming down? Well it's just as well he didn't, because it's all down. The entire Holy Spirit has visited the Church. (See?) God Himself. Now, at the end time the Capstone: (21) In whom all the building fitly framed (and joined) together (grows) unto a holy temple … (22) In whom (you) also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. 45. Now, what we're looking at that as I read, showed you this is Jew and Gentile, and he's speaking of the First Resurrection. Now, let's go to the Book of Revelation (and we know where we're going to go of course) chapter 14, read the first 5 verses. All right: (1) And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. (What's His Father's Name? Jesus.) (2) And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: (3) And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and elders: (that) no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from earth. (4) (And) these are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. (They're eunuchs see? They) are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. (And they) were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God…the Lamb. (5) And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before…God. Now, Who's the 144,000? The Jews. Twelve thousand out of each tribe. And what are their first-fruits? So therefore, the age starts with the Jews, (that is the bridal age, the First Resurrection) starts with the Jews coming in, and starts with the Jews coming back. A 144,000 come in. So, there we see Jesus in the Millennium, the First Resurrection is what we are looking at. 46. Now, remember what I am talking about, otherwise you're going to get left plumb with a lot of hazy thoughts on this Message. It distinctly says in the Resurrection: "As in Adam all died, even so all in Christ are made alive." And then It says, "Every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits, afterward they that are His Parousia." [1 Cor 15:22-23] Then It tells you over here there's a 144,000 to be added in the three and a half years when grace and mercy completely closes out. For grace and mercy does not close out till under the Sixth Seal, not the Fourth Seal, but the Sixth Seal. And the 144,000 come in. And they make up the entire group of the First Resurrection. Now the 144,000 are not in the Bride, they are the attendants of the Bride, but they are in the First Resurrection in the Millennium. 47. Now, you'll notice, Wuest says, "In Adam all died every man in his order." Then It says, "Then cometh the end, when He shall of handed the Kingdom back, for He must rule 'till all this takes place." [1 Cor 15:24] And the ruling goes on into the Millennium. (See?) Then It goes on to the White Throne where He judges. Then It goes on to the New Heaven and the new earth where the New Jerusalem is installed. And then at the top of New Jerusalem where the Lamb sits, and that's when It's all handed back. Which simply means God is everything. Now, I've showed you right here the Millennium and this One that Jesus is in It, and the thought we're dwelling with is, that It's at His Presence which is now that this begins to happen. (See?) At a certain Presence, that God begins taking all these things together; that Jesus is just no longer the High Priest. No longer that One sitting behind the Throne on the Mercy Seat, the Lamb raised the body, raised up as a memorial. Intercede rather, mediating to bring them in, and interceding to keep them in. Now, He's come to a place where God says, "The reign sets in." And God in this special hour, (the Parousia) you know about It, where Bro. Branham talks about the Appearing, when He comes down to set Himself, the Head of the Church, to raise the dead. This is that time that God begins bringing everything in order, and there's nothing you and I can do about it. I don't care whether you pray, you fast, you scream, you do anything, you can't do anything about it. This is that thing that Bro. Branham said, "Only God can do it." 48. Now, whether you believe it or not, or whether you think you see it or not, it doesn't matter. There is something going on right now. Everybody's looking for the great miracle ministries that Bro. Branham said will not come. And the great thing over here that he said will not come, they are missing the fact that God now is bringing everything into Divine order and control. And everything is in perfect balance the way God wants It, whether you and I want it that way or not. Now, we'll talk about that and show you in 2 Thessalonians exactly why I can say what I'm saying. This is that relaxation and rest that Bro. Branham spoke of. See, because God has not ceases from His labor. When the Book in the hand of God, the Redemption Book was taken out of His hand, and the Seals tore off, that was the time that a very special thing begin to happen in the ministry of Jesus Christ Himself. And we'll talk about it later. But I just want you get what I'm dealing with now, because…this you should have heard several Messages in between this, then what you've heard since I've been here with you, and it's just impossible to do it. I just can't do it. 49. Now, we're going to see Jesus in the Second Resurrection at the White Throne. (Boy, times gone on down there) We're going to go to Matthew 25:31. "The Son of man come in his glory, the holy angels [with him,] sit upon the throne of glory: all nations gather before him, and he's going to separate, as it were, the sheep from the goats. And he'll say to the right hand, Come ye blessed into the kingdom waiting for you. At the left, depart from Me, I never knew you." (And then He'll tell the why.) Now, with that, we could read Daniel 7:9-10, but we're not going to, because I've got special thoughts on that, where's there's a dual picture of the two of the judging of God. Where one could be not necessary White Throne. 50. But Revelation 20: is what we're going to go to, because this is the one that pin points It down, and It's 4-15. And It tells you here: (4) …I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, the word of God, which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image,(nor) received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Notice, that there's people, not just one person sitting there. The Bride is sitting in the Throne with Jesus. (5) …the rest of the dead lived not again …the thousand years…This is the first resurrection. (6) Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: (upon) such the second death hath no power, (they'll) be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Now, you see you've got a reigning and a ruling here, a thousand years in Millennium. (See?) Then you got the White Throne judgment which is set up to judge. 51. Now, going to go back to Matthew 25:40-41. (40) And the King (will) answer and say…Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as (you've) done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, (you've) done it unto me. (41) Then (they'll) say unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Verse 46, (46) And (they will) go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into (eternal life.) 51. Now, with that we go to Revelation 20:7-10. (7) And when the thousand years are expired, Satan be loosed of his prison, (8) …shall go out to deceive the nations…the four quarters of Gog, and Magog, gather them together to battle: the number…sand of the sea. (9) …they went up the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints, the beloved city: (not New Jerusalem, just the beloved city) and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. (10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Now of course, that's a period of time, Bro. Branham said, "Give it millions of years," we don't know. Now, verse 9, It says here that these people that are judged to be wicked, "Depart from me, I never knew you," and so on. They are going to come against all the Saints of Almighty God to attempt to take the Kingdom over like Satan did in the beginning. But they cannot do it, because God is going to deal with the Bride and with His Christ and take care of Him. Now, you notice right here that Jesus is reigning in the Millennium, but you notice Who's the power behind Him Fire comes down out of heaven. It doesn't say He does one thing. He doesn't raise His hands and say, "Let's kill all you guys and fire come out of His mouth." No, the Sword comes out of His mouth in Revelation 19. But at the White Throne judgment and they come against Him, It says, "Fire comes down out of Heaven." God is taking care of His Son and the Bride. Notice, Who's behind where the power lies and the authority lies. You see, I want you to get the picture, because this is what we're dealing with here. 52. Now, again over in Matthew 25: 31-40, (I won't read It to you) is where He's talking to them. Then over here in Revelation 20:11… this explains why He talked the way He did, said to the left hand to the right hand, said, "I was hungry, you gave me to eat. Thirsty, you gave me to drink. Naked you clothed me not. Here in [Revelation 20:] verse 11, (11) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; (there's no place) found for them. (12) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; the books opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Now, you see right there what it was? The Books were opened, that's why over here He could say, "I was hungry, you didn't feed Me. I was naked, you didn't clothe Me. I was in prison, you didn't visit Me. I was sick and you never came near Me." 53. See, the Books are opened which deal with the Books of your record of everything that lies there. This is why the Lamb's Book of Life comes out of the Book of life, because the Book of life is the human record. And the human record started with Adam. They begin dying in Adam, but there was a life that God had breathed into Adam, the breath of lives, the Holy Spirit, that came up was a Seed. And that Seed was taken out by God in every generation. And there's been a Seed there, and God has claimed everyone. And due to election there is a Bride that comes out of that Seed. And the non elect come up at the end time, and they're the ones, because of that Seed in them, they recognize something out there, and the Books are opened. The Book said, "Listen, you aren't bride, but you're those that qualify and here stands the Blood, and here is Jesus and they come into Eternal Life." That's when they, in my understanding receive the Holy Ghost. We down here receive the Holy Ghost, so there's no way we'd ever, ever get into the Second Resurrection. We're all part of the First. (Well, that was a bit of a nutshell one.) Now, that is Jesus in the end of the Millennium at the White Throne. 54. Now, Jesus reigning in Mount Zion, we can go back to Psalms 2: (1) Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? (2) The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, (3) Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. (4) He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. (5) Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. (6) Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. "Yet have I set my king…" God doesn't say, "I'm there reigning as King." He said, "I've set My King there." (See?) (7) I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said (to) me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. What day? The day of His Resurrection. Now, there's two days of 'begetting'. The begetting when He was conceived and brought forth in human flesh, but the great day of the true begetting was the begetting from the dead when God raised Him. 55. So therefore, when God raised Him, He raised Him as King. But He isn't King at this hour. Well yes He is, and I'll tell you why. But when people view the fact of Jesus, He literally to them is not King. Because He's only reigning in the hearts of men and women. That's where His Throne is. The Mercy Seat cannot unqualifiedly be called a Throne. And if He's on the Mercy Seat, He is not reigning. But, when He took the Books, He got off of the seat, the Mercy Seat. Then what did He do? I'll tell you ahead of time. Page 25, 'Souls Now in Prison' . He climbed upon His Father's Throne and He sat down." God abdicated. (See, you follow me?) Don't look at me like you're wooden Indians. I'll tell you flat, get the book, I got it here to read it anyway. …?... I'll weave in the other Messages. When I talk about Melchisedec we'll read the whole thing here. Show you there's been a change. (See?) And the change is: that God is now bringing everything under Jesus. And you're in the end whether you want to be in the end or not. It's all over, history will not defer they're written. For Jesus is already the Head of the Church. Now, that doesn't take Him away from being the High Priest that souls cannot still come in. (We'll talk about that later. Just don't get ahead of yourself.) 56. Now: (8) Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Now listen, I have sent my King: (7) …this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me the earth is yours: (9) …you'll break them with a rod of iron… That's Armageddon, but it's also over there in the White Throne judgment. (10) Be wise now therefore, O kings: be instructed judges of the earth. (11) Serve the LORD with fear, and trembling. (12) Kiss the Son, lest he be angry… How many kissing the Son today is really worshipping? They don't even know His position today. They couldn't possibly. Not with the attitudes I see people running around. Not with what I see going on in the Bride. God have pity brother/sister. There ain't no way. Yeah, there isn't any way at all. The majesty of Christ is nonexistent. That's why the people want a hip-or-rah spirit brought back in the church. That's why they want snappy singing in a camp meeting spirit. The whole thing all. They want Pentecost back in, at least they'll feel good. 57. Let me tell you something, when the Russians marched into East Germany and the German authorities had promised they would get the people out of that special area where the great air force base was. And there was no way when they saw there was no way they out, their people drank liquor, undressed and committed sex acts. Now, I'm liking that right to what's going on today amongst us. Any kind of a thrill and think it's God. Any kind of whoop-de-do. Faster music, this or that. We're going to make them work. You ain't going to make nothing work. You've got to stand back with your heart in your stomach, and your stomach in your shoes in the Presence of God. And say, "God, only by thoughts of grace, I could be one of those that are coming under Him." There ain't a big shot amongst us. I wasn't worth a plug nickel. Oh, you may think you're gilded, (phfft) shee. (I could say something about that, but my sermons are x-rayed enough right now without getting pornographic.) 58. (12) Kiss the Son, lest he be angry… Do you realize that the great tribulation brother, is the retributive anger and wrath of God? What for? For the antichrist's spirit. Some of you people here right today and those that come maybe are not here, don't understand why I lash out all the time that I do, I hope you're understanding today, and begin to understand, you're not ready yet, but you will be before I'm through preaching here. I think you'll see and understand why I have lashed out and will vow to no man. Some of you would like to have me bow down to the great apostle like New York wanted me to. They all tried to use Lee Vayle, because Lee Vayle knows how to step aside and say, "Go ahead." I've never been anybody and never will be. And they pat me on this and, "now step aside boy." I've got news for you: I don't step aside for any man. I don't even step aside not for Him, why should I step aside for man? (Um?) Let's get this straight this morning, I'm preaching awful straight these days, I've been awful rough all this summer and I care less. I don't care if I insulted anybody, insult me all you want or anything else, I care less, it's all over brother/sister whether you know it or not. The Lord God reigneth with Jesus on that Throne, and there's no room for anybody else. (See?) I don't know if you're catching what I'm saying, it's alright you'll get it. 59. Notice carefully in Psalms 2:7 again: (7) I will declare the decree: the LORD (God) said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. You're a King. Has He been King? Not until now. (Uh, uh) Only potentially. One day John came upon the scene, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world." [Jn 1:29] Was He thr Lamb of God? No sir! He was Emmanuel, God with us, but He was not the Lamb until the Garden of Gethsemane when God left Jesus, and then they hanged him on a tree. He was the Lamb of God, but not until that time, only potential. Jesus had been potential King all along, but He hasn't been King until this hour. And as Bro. Branham said, "You put your hand between the light and the wall, and you let that hand go more and more to the wall, pretty soon the shadow and the hand become one, so it is with Jesus." It has started, and when those Saints go up there and meet Him face to face in the flesh, they'll crown the One Who is King. And they'll come back with a Sword going out of His mouth to destroy. You bet, and He'll cleanse the earth and come back as reigning. But not as a potentate with a bunch of people under Him, and Him sitting there in grandeur and style, and everybody trying to wait on Him. That could be true to a degree, but it is that beautiful thing where Bride and Groom are recreating the Millennium; stepping hard where God finally becomes All in all. See, we're going through a series and a stage of evolution, and the evolutionary stage at this moment is what I'm trying to get across to you, since those Seals were broken something has happened that people are disregarding. They're not making enough of It. Therefore, the sights are lowered and the hope is dim, and knowledge languishes, and when knowledge languishes where do the people then get the inspiration and the joy? They got to go out someplace and find it. Work it up. It ain't going to work. (See?) All right, I read over here verse 7, "This day have I begotten thee, thou art my son." 60. I want to go to Acts 13: It tells you: (28) And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. (29) …when they fulfilled (the law) was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. (30) But God raised him from the dead: (31) …he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. (32) And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, (33) God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. What if I was to say to you proclaiming for after Bro. Branham taught Melchisedec? I have good news for you, for God has raised the Son upon the Throne. You say, "Bro. Vayle, what authority have you got?" Forget it. If you want to question that, you question the prophet, not me. He said, "He took the Sealed Book and ripped the seals off and climbed on the Father's Throne." Nineteen hundred and sixty-three. See, I've knowed this for years in my heart from the Book of Daniel that there would come a time when the Saints will be standing right on this earth like you and I right now, and we own it all. But we don't want it. Did you hear what I said? We own it all, but we don't want it at this time, only when it's purified, and we're in the shape to take it over. 61. Let me proclaim to you that Jesus is Kings of kings and Lord of lords. Just like they proclaimed on that day, for the prophet said the same thing, we missed it. It was '65 he preached 'Souls in Prison' wasn't it? (Not quite sure, '65) Was '63 when the Seals were broken. (34) And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. (35) Wherefore…another psalm, (he said) Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (36) For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell (a)sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: (37) But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. (38) Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: (39) And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which (you) could not be justified by the law of Moses. (40) Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; (41) Behold, (you) despisers, and wonder, and perish: I work a work in your days, a work which (you) shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. And Bro. Branham declared, "He got off the Mercy Seat, ripped the seals off the Book and climbed upon His Father's Throne." Don't worry, I had underlined in big red splashed ink and didn't even know I have done it. 62. Danny Olsen got a hold of my tape, he said, "Well, Bro. Vayle you said He's standing, Bro. Branham said, 'He climbed upon the Father's Throne'." I said, "Thank God Danny, that makes it all the better." I forgot that quote. That proves that what I've been saying, the doctrine hasn't been changed one little bit. Been enhanced, proved the very thing I've been speaking about. All things coming under Him. God said, "I'm standing back here like Pharaoh, I'm the power behind the throne, but you're on the throne." You started a new career. Bro. Branham said he got a new name. What about a new career? What about the changing of the mask? What about the evolution? Son of man, Son of God. Son of man, Son of God, Son of David. Son of man ministry is over, prophet's gone, back to Son of God. "They that hear the Voice of the Son of God shall live." [Jn 5:25] Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit comes down sets down at the Head of the Church. Raises the dead. (41) …(you won't believe it, he said,) though a man declare it… (42) And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. And you know something? The Gentiles are turning down the Word of the prophet. The Jews are going to take Him. You know at the last age what the Gentiles do? They turned down the King. They turned down the King, and the Jews said, "Praise God." Well, everything runs its course. 63. Note, he mentioned here, now Hebrews 1:1-6, I'm just sorry that I couldn't preach these sermons all in continuity, it would mean much more to you then what they do now, it would be easier on me too. All right: (1) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers (in) the prophets, (2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us (in) his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: (4) Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (5) For unto which of the angels said he… Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? (6) And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels worship him. 64. Now with that, [Hebrews] chapter 5:5. (5) So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. Now, what day was that? The day that He rose from the dead and took His place at the right hand of the Majesty on high which was on the Mercy Seat behind the Throne to mediate in order to bring them in, and to intercede in order to keep them in. (6) (And…another place, (said) Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. And that was a future reference. And that's consistent with the Book of Acts that I read. 65. Now, Revelation 1:5 (5) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us… (now he said, the prince of the kings of the earth, the ruler of them) Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And what was this? End time revelation. When is He the All of It? Right now. Right now it's all being set up for the complete take over, because that's what he's talking about. (6) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;… (now you know that you and I are not that at this moment, it's only potential.) (7) Behold, he (comes) with clouds; every eye (is going to) see him… It's in this hour that He becomes the Supreme Potentate, where God is beginning to put everything under Him. And they're now in my understanding the same as when He was potentially Melchisedec to become Melchisedec. The same as He was potentially the Lamb of God to become the Lamb of God. The same potential is here now, that He is now seated on that Throne waiting for God to so bring under His feet the enemies. And He can be proclaimed that One. And brother/ sister that's exactly what's transpiring right now. And Revelation 19 is when He comes back and destroys the whole bunch at that particular time. 66. Now, with that 1 Corinthians…crying, he's already come. The same person said, "When you see God come down from heaven, stand before groups of men and declare Himself as ever He did." The same one who in '58 said, "He's already been here several years." (That's right) And therefore on June 17, 1933 He came back. (See?) But you say, "What about the fact that He opened the Seals He put His left foot on land and on sea, (we'll get to that before this message is over) is very simple; because He was to do that, and He was the One that did it, but He couldn't do it so that people would know it was done, until first of all He unveiled the prophet and vindicated the prophets. Showed Who was doing it, which was God and then said, "Now, this is what's being done." All things work in potential brother/sister, in cost of unveiling, it's a cost of revelation. Why do you think, you think brother/sister …if I'm going to be living this time next year within six months from now, even three months, that I won't know more about Him than I know now? And I know more now than I've known all my years? I know for the first time in sixty-six years that there is one God, and I know what His Name really is. Now, I know you're nodding, but do you know it as I know it today? There's no guess, there's no doubt, it lies there in the Scripture, the whole thing, why there are not two gods. How I can blithely say, "This One is doing this, and the One behind." And there's no way I'm confused. It wasn't that way two months ago, hardly three months ago. Do you think three months from now it's not going to be greater? Certainly it's going to be greater. Where does God speak, but to the mind? 67. Isaiah 11:1-9, (we're using a lot of Scripture, I want to do it on purpose. Later on if I get enough chance to preach in a different sermon, I want to just weave Scripture back and forth, and back and forth until It becomes so clear, just crystal clear. (1) …there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, a Branch shall grow out of his roots: (2) …the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and at the fear of the LORD; (3) And shall make him of quick understanding the fear of the LORD: he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: (4) But with righteousness he shall judge the poor, reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. Now, you know right in there that's the Great Tribulation, that’s the end of it. Armageddon was that last little bit I read. (5) (With) righteousness shall be (his) girdle of his loins, (the) faithfulness the girdle of his reins. (That's going on right now.) (6) (And) the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard…with the kid; and the calf and the young lion…the fatling together; a little child (will) lead them. (7) …the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: the lion shall eat straw like the ox. (8) …the sucking child play on the hole of the asp, (that's a very desperate type of snake) and the weaned child put his hand on the cockatrice' den. (9) They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, …(why that's New Jerusalem.) Now, what do we go through? We went through the whole phase there. Jesus coming down to die, as a servant of God, the righteous One raising to be the High Priest. And now He comes over here where He's in the Millennium and goes past the White Throne right on into the New Jerusalem. (See?) 68. Now, let's go again and look at Psalms 2:6. (6) Yet have I set my king upon my holy (mount, upon Mount) Zion. Now look it, what am I saying this for? I'm trying to show you that God is doing this, because Jesus paid the price upon Calvary. Not only did He pay the price upon Calvary, but He sat there on the Mercy Seat for roughly two thousand years in order to bring them in and to keep them in. But now is the day when God must move and fulfill every promise He made to Jesus. "I have set my king, I have put the enemies down. I have put Him on My Throne. I have done this, I have done that. When is it going to be done? It's being done now. It's started. He wasn’t the King before. He is now. He wasn't on His Father's Throne before, He is now. He wasn't the Head before, He is now. You say, "How?" Because the Capstone's down. And now at this point brother/sister, because of the Holy Spirit given and manifested in the prophet, in the ministries, the Bride through the discourse of the Word which brings that revealed faith is approaching unto Him. 69. Now look, what's the first thing in the approach? Shout! What's the second? Voice! (That's Resurrection) What's the third? Rapture! What's the fourth? Wedding Supper! What's in between the third and the fourth? Crowning Him. I don't know. I got no chronology from there on. Maybe what Bro. Branham saw, goes on there, as soon as the Bride seeing it before the Wedding Supper. Or maybe that is the Wedding Supper, where he saw the presentation, the bema. And he said there was Bro. Neville being presented, everybody clapping, [Bro. Vayle claps] there's Bro. Neville, wonderful. And he's sitting there and said, "that's wonderful," just rejoicing. And then Bro. Branham called, everybody clapping Bro. Branham. [claps again] The rewards handed out, the jewels, the diadems. When? Then there's time for the crowning, and the Saints crown Him. Three and a half years they come with Him riding on white horses. Strong in power to begin to take over. Can't you see step by step was started with those Seals. Something's started, and it's in here telling us what's going on. But everybody's got his own ideas it seems, it's got to be this ministry, that ministry. And this big -shot and that big-shot. Let's go to the Bible for a change and make Jesus the 'Big-shot'. Stand with God. He said, "There's my beloved Son, I've made Him King, He's on My Throne, and I'm right down here bringing everything in order, and I'm starting right with the Bride. Come on. 70. Listen, 1 Corinthians 11: (come on, I preached tonight out of just sheer inspiration) (1) Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. What man would dare say that? Some fat head? Watch how I work, watch how I strut. See, how I do things. Listen how I say, "A-A-Amen," so nicely. Only a man that has superb perfect contact with Christ could say, "Follow Me as I get from Him to give to you that you can do it." Look it, some of the nicest people in the world going plumb to hell with bells on yet. All the fire wagons in the world won't put out the flame they're going to get into. And they're just beautiful nice people. Why, they make fun of the Holy Ghost when the Holy Ghost came with speaking in tongues. They blasphemed the Holy Ghost. Christian Mission Alliance blasphemed the Holy Ghost in Nyack [New York] said the whole thing is plumb of the devil. Part of it was, part of it wasn't, and they died. But they went on preaching salvation so-called, could they? Can a thistle bring forth a wheat? Come on! 71. I've been tramping on somebody's toes, a very good friend of mine, but I can't help it. I just can't help it. Bro. Branham said, "Phillip had the seed." I don't give a hoot, …?... who they thought had a seed. Phillip had the seed. Do you thing that eunuch would have gotten something without Phillip having seed? Come on. How are you going to have life outside this Message, that's where the seed was Bro. Branham had? Eunuch and denominations, creeds, they're like Paul was. (2) Now I praise you, brethren, that (you) remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances… There It is, right there, I got a Word from God for you. (3) (And) I would have you know, the head of every man is Christ; the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Right there, he began to put the church in order. That Christ has a Head, and the Head of Christ is God. And God is bringing everything under His feet. And under the feet of Him and with Him, Jesus comes a Bride. (I haven't got time to peached on that, you've heard it already.) 72. Let's look at Ephesians 1:20, (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, (21) Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, (the world) to come: (22) And put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things (for) the church, (23) Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all (things with) all (things.) It's God filled Christ with everything that lay in God. So, that He was the whole purpose, the plan and the manifestation, the exegesis, all of It is God. God does the same thing through Jesus Christ to a Bride. And in His glory will shine. Oh, to be like Him. Not somebody else's glory, it's going to be His glory. He's going to shine in God's glory. Never going to shine in His glory, and it's all one glory. God's doing it now brother/sister. See, why the prophet said history cannot be written, it's all over. 73. I'm going to close now, I don't know how I'm going to even finish this sermon. I'm just sorry I'm out of whack with it. I'm out of anointing in this respect, I'm got to preach a certain series to get to where I am to help you. But I'm beginning to see what I am seeing, something happened in 1963 with the opening of the Seals. Jesus left the Mercy Seat, He did not leave heaven. He did not cease becoming the High Priest. He became Melchisedec which I'll talk about before we get away. If I stay till Thursday, I'll just stand up here and just go through just Scripture after Scripture and show you. How that He has literally changed, but He's the same One. But He has become more authoritative, He is more pre-eminent. (See?) And God is going to confuse this people brother/ sister, I'm telling you flat, this age is an age of confusion. When they said, "What is the sign of Thy Presence?" He said, "Confusion." False, people don't understand that. If you don't understand it, you're going to miss it. I'm the one given to cry out. You stand back and you listen to me cry out, then you listen to what I tell you. You settle down. I can't settle down. I went to the prophet, I can't settle down, it's not my life to settle down. I will cry out, I will annoy you. I will bug you. I'll be rougher than a cob, and you'll sit there and take it. You better take it, because that's my ministry. Don't think it isn't, because it is. 74. I'm going to tell you something: they said, "What is the sign of Thy Presence?" And he said, "They'll be saying, over here he is. Over there he is, false anointed ones." Chaos. And you know what Scripture lines? And you know what Jesus said at the end time through the mouth of John? He said, "When that Book opens, don't you dare close It. And he that is righteous is righteous still, and he that is filthy is filthy still." [Rev 22:11] The height of righteousness is coming today, and the height of filth is coming today. Now, don't you ever try to think you're going to walk to the Tree of Life and make a Rapture, if you're not willing to take a look at all the filth that is going to come. If you think you've got a message and a bunch of people that are beautiful wonderful people, you're sick, don't bother coming back tonight. I got nothing to tell you, because the sign of the Presence is utter confusion as it was in Jesus' day. "If your God emptied the grave yard…if He's really here, why don't you people have more?" He's here. My eyes can't see Him. I don't have to, but up here I do. Because the Only begotten has exegeted Him. God has veiled Himself in the flesh of the Word. Bro. Branham said, "When that veil of the temple was rent, in our hour every creed and dogma was rent in two. And the veil of creeds and dogmas was pulled back, and for the first time in two thousand years the Holy Ghost was loosed to do what? To show you Him. (Uh?) It's exactly right. We saw Him unveiled. 75. Now, at the end time, God says, "That One, that Son that did it all I'm going to pay Him back." Redemption is all but over. I don't know if anymore Gentiles are coming in. I don't say they're not, I don't know. They could still come in. They'll be coming in until the temple fills with smoke under the Sixth Seal, not the Fourth Seal, the Bride's already gone. It's under the Sixth Seal, because the Jews got to come in; a 144,000 sealed got to come in. That's redemption for the First Resurrection. You see? But Jesus has left that Mercy Seat, seated on His Father's Throne, and God is come down to begin to bring in a Bride that's going to be virgin in the Word, and pure and spotless that He can present to Himself. See, which He will, and He's doing It now. And you say, "But, Bro. Vayle, I know what's going on, because I'm in the same boat you are." What in the world can be going on, I see all this stuff going on here. 76. He said, "Didn't you understand what I said in Matthew 24, the sign of My Presence; there'll be two or three in a room making up their minds what's going to go on?" Did you know that they split the world into about four pieces in this Message? There's already one fell out west he's got an America, one fellow's got Africa, one fellow's got New Zealand and Australia, and one fellow's got Europe. It showed how good their plan was, the fellow from Europe got a girl friend for seven years in adultery though. Come on, let's hit it, hit it where it is. I told you I'd skin you, because you don't like hearing these things. Like everybody else, "Oh, Bro. Vayle be sweet and nice." I'm not sweet and nice for anything. Sin is sin! Wake up to it! Sin is sin in me and sin in you! I'm going to tell you something: let her rain, let her roll. God stands in the shadows, and He's bringing a Bride right under Jesus. And I stand with the prophet, and I'll never change my stand. And that stand is this: if we're not Bride, there's a Bride out there somewhere, and by the grace of God I'll not stand in her way. But it started brother/sister, it's all over. Let's rise, we'll go more into it tonight. Heavenly Father, we know that history is not going to be written. We know, Lord, the time is no longer delayed. We know, Lord, that all these things have come to an end. Even the ushering in the Millennium is become, because It has. All of these things are exposed to us, but because it's done with a simplicity and man in himself is not heir to it anymore than is Jesus by virtue of the fact that that One Himself would do it. We find ourselves almost complete distraught from our previous teaching of thinking we're going to get somewhere by what we're doing. Rather than realizing we're like Abraham and Sarah, who even laughed in the face of the hour of the promise. And Abraham incapable of doing one thing about anything. But You began to move, and You did it. You said about this time next year, that's it. I don't know what day, Lord, but I believe back in 1963, (unless I'm terrible mistaken, Lord, I'm telling a lie) I believe that was the time with that messenger earthly of Revelation 10:7 standing on earth, the mighty One of 10:1 was down and revealed what lay behind those Seals. At that time the One Who tore the seals off the Book went upon the Father's Throne. Waiting only now for you, Lord God, to bring everything in Divine order under Him, and to Him. So that there will be a resurrection and a Rapture, a tribulation, an Armageddon, a cleaning up and a Millennium. And It started, I believe that, Lord, today. I believe just what the prophet said that Seventh Seal opened ushered in the Millennium, the ushering in the whole thing right form this moment to the end of the era as we know it in Scripture, when the Lamb is on the Throne upon Mount Zion, and the Father is over the Throne, and before they call He answers. Now, I believe, Lord, we started that, and no one can change It. But we can rejoice in the fact that we know where we are in this hour, and that which is going on. Bless Your people today, Lord, and we have strength to come together tonight, weather permitting all these things, Lord, You helping us to come and see more of what lies in this understanding of this hour. So that we are not left in a twilight zone, but we're left in the reality of what is encompassing us now, so help us in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. Let's sing a little song… 'Oh how I love Jesus'. See, we're going to give Him pre-eminence. Bro. Branham said, "He must receive the pre-eminence." See, there's no pre-eminence, you'll never get back to the Garden. Can't work, see? In Adam all died, even so in Christ all are made alive." I'm tired of the Adamic situation, I want to get to the Christ situation. This is my whole trouble. You say, Well, Bro. Vayle, I thought you said your glands were run down?" Look my glands wouldn't be run down except for Adam. I'm looking for a tonic in the Lord to get them run up, where they'll never peter out. Okay let's start it. Reigning of Jesus # 1 (0780A) Page PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 25
