Reigning of Jesus # 2

Bro. Lee Vayle   - December 14, 1980

	 Heavenly Father, again we thank you for Your love and mercy, Lord, and
believe that Your with us tonight by the Holy Spirit to show us the hour
in which we live and the deep mysterious things of God. Not that they
are hidden from us, but had been revealed in the prophet's end time
Message when all the mysteries shall be brought forth. And we pray,
Lord, that we'll understand what is going on at this hour in our
benefit, our behalf and, Lord, that this is the end of time, time
running out. So, we just look to You now and believe that You hear our
prayer and help in Jesus' Name. Amen. You may be seated.	

1.	Now, this morning we were looking at the Scripture in 1 Corinthians
15:20. 

		(20) 	But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the
first-fruits 						of them that slept.

		(21) 	For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection 	
				of the dead.

		(22) 	For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive.

		(23) 	But every man in his order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward
they that 					are Christ's at his coming.

	And that word [coming] of course is 'Parousia' which means His literal
Presence. And It says:

		(24) 	Then cometh the end, …

	Now, you notice that this follows the Presence. So therefore, the
Presence is like a dash, or like in the Scripture where it has a
semi-colon and a dash, that something is to come. I would call this a
juncture period. It says,

		(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) 	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…

2.	In others words, it is evidently clear that He is accepted, or left
out, or not included in what is under the feet which did put all things
under Him. Now, there's the key to what we're looking at. You can find
there are literally two personalities involved here. One Who is putting
all things under His feet by virtue of some greater One actually doing
it for Him. Because It says here:

		(24)	Then cometh the end when he…

	Now, you're talking about Christ in His Presence. You're talking about
the fact of the identification with Jesus Who is the Christ the
first-fruits, the One that rose from the dead. And then It says here,
"After this period of the Coming, (the Presence) when the dead are
raised. Then It says, "Then cometh the end." In other words, this is the
major period of time that we become involved with the minute we know
that Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit as Bro. Branham said, came down to set
Himself at the Head of the Church in order to raise the dead. And it's
at this period when the dead are raised.

3. 	It says:

		(24)	Then cometh the end when he shall have delivered up the kingdom 	
			to God, (now notice, he jumps right down the very end of the line, 		
			then) even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all 	
				authority and power.

	Now you could maybe think you read It, "even the Father, when the
Father shall have put down." But It's really not saying that. It's
saying that, "This One Who is the great first-fruit." And you know that
is a resurrected Person.

		(25) 	For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

		(26) 	The last enemy that shall be destroyed…

	Now, not just putting enemies under, you're looking at a destruction
here, a finalization. Now, after all you can subdue. Even His death was
subdued over here in the sense of 1 Corinthians 15: where It says,

		(54)  …Death is swallowed up in a victory.

	The word 'swallow’ there of course is like the wild animal catcher,
catching the wild animal in the net. Now, the animal is not killed, nor
the animal is not annihilated, the animal is simply brought under
authority.  But you notice in here in 26,

		(26) 	The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

4.	Then It says:

		(27) 	For he hath put all things under his feet….

	So, the last thing to be put under. is death itself which will be the
Lake of Fire, the spiritual second death.

		(27)	…But when he saith all things are put under him, (notice that) 
					But when he saith all things are put under him, (you would get 				
	that from the Psalms 8:) it is manifest (it's very clear) that he is 		
			(left out) which did put all things under him.

	Now, that's not saying here in my understanding, that Jesus is putting
all things under His feet, but you better be careful not to make It
read: that Jesus is getting under His Own feet. That would be
ridiculous. So, you can see we're dealing with two personalities here.
We're dealing with two different ones that are being mentioned.

5.	Now listen, 

		(28) 	…when all things shall be subdued unto him, … (now I warned
you, 					that word is not subdued.)

	The word 'subdue' is in the arena where the gladiator will subdue the
poor victim. This word actually means 'subjected'. And the word
'subjected' is not coercion, or placed in a position whereby you are
enslaved, it means that you simply are in the place where you ought to
be. (See?)   

	In other words, there is not just an affinity, (although that's a good
thought) there is an affinity, but there is really more than just that.
It is really the fact of the life of God, or that life which God put in
Jesus, and Jesus put in the Church, (the Bride) that that life then has
a perfect correlation. An identification with Jesus and God.

6.	Now remember, I never did go into the entire series here, I sort of
cut them between you and when the brethren were down there in St.
Catharine's and in Buffalo, I showed you that the reason that the Holy
Spirit was given, the major reason, was not what many people thought,
but the fact that Holy Spirit was given to join the cut away one back
from God. Because death was spiritual separation. And the baptism with
the Holy Spirit, the Spirit came in the vertical to each individual to
make Him One with the Father. And there is to be at this Age as there
was in the measure of the First  Age according to Jesus. The vertical
goes into the horizontal. So, that the same Spirit Bro. Branham said,
"If I have the Spirit of Beethoven, I will do the works of Beethoven."
The symphonic works and all. "If I have the works of the Holy Spirit,
(he said) I will begin to do the works of Jesus."

	So, what we're seeing here, is the fact that God has promised at the
end time, the vertical goes into the horizontal, even as Jesus said,
"That they may be one, as You and I are one, then all men will know that
I have been sent." And so therefore, we have the same thing which is
coming in here. All things will now be in perfect correlation and in
order with Him. (See?)

 		(28)	…then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him (that
word is 						right. It's subject which means, 'the proper affinity',
and the proper 						order,) unto him that put all things under him,
that God may be all 						in all.

7.	Now, that takes us to the great pyramidal City, Zion, Mount Zion, New
Jerusalem. And you see, she is a Bride fifteen hundred miles living in a
City of gold, upon Mount Zion. Fifteen miles square at the base, and
fifteen hundred miles to the top. It forms a pyramid. Then at the very
top is the Throne of the Lamb, and He is sitting there, and then over
Him is God veiled in a Pillar of Fire, and they are one. And Bro.
Branham mentioned at that time, "Before they call, I will answer."

	And you can see then that the realm of the Spirit which is being
attained to at this moment, which is going to go right to that time when
the very thoughts of God are just amongst the people. And it would be
just like the wave and the move of God all the time, spreading in the
Holy City, then spreading way out where the millions and billions of
people are, who will be allowed to bring their glory in, who did not
make the First Resurrection, but come up in the Second Resurrection.
Now, so we see here we're dealing with the time in which we are
presently living, which is the Parousia, (see?) which is the time of the
Presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.

8.	Now, what we're looking at specifically in my understanding here is
the fact that this particular time we're dealing with. And I'm using It
specifically since 1963 when the Seals were opened. It says:

	"The Lamb came from behind the Throne off of the Mercy Seat, and He
took the 			Book out of the hand of Him that sat upon the Throne. (And
that One sitting on 			the Throne of course was the Holy Spirit veiled
in a Pillar of Fire, the Rainbow 		was upon…over the Throne.) And He
came and took the Book out of the hand 			of that One."

	Then you'll notice immediately that that One came down. That One, God,
Holy Spirit came down which we call Christ the Logos. And He came down
with His foot on land and sea, and roared as a lion roareth. And at that
time in chapter 10, the Book was sealed up. But in Revelation 22: you'll
notice the Book becomes unsealed. 

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

	Now, Who unseals the Book? The Lamb comes and rips off the seal. And
it's that time that Bro. Branham mentioned to my understanding in 'Souls
that are Now in Prison Now' [63-11-10], that the Lamb then climbed upon
the Throne. And that's legitimate, because Jesus said in the Seventh
Church Age in chapter 3 of Revelation, "that He that overcometh will I
grant to sit in My Throne, even as I am overcome and sit down in My
Father's Throne."

 	So, we see here that there is a literal reigning in a more spectacular
manner then Christ has reigned previously. Because previously He's been
the High Priest mediating to bring them in, and interceding to keep them
in. And He has been reigning in the hearts of men and women, and the
Throne is in the hearts of men and women. But at this particular time,
you will find that the Throne, (though abdicated by God) has not been
left vacant. Because the Lamb can sit upon the Throne now, and He does
not change His status as to His work as the great High Priest, (which He
is) because that's what It is all about. He became that High Priest.
(I'll read that in Hebrews later on) but He's now gone into a period
where He is being honored of God, because of the work that He has done.

9.	Now, we're going to go into Hebrews 5:5, and just look at it. It
says:

		(5) 	So also, Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest;
but 						he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten
thee.

	Now, that's the day when He was raised from the dead and taken up into
the heavenlies. 

		(6) 	(And) he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever
after 					the order of Melchisedec.

	Now, you notice in there, there's two things that are said, "You're the
begotten One, which is the first-fruit to begotten from the dead." And
then he said, "You're a High Priest." Which means that the others were
going to come in through Him, and are going to be maintained and
preserved by Him. "He's a Priest after the order of Melchisedec." [Heb
5:10] And Melchisedec was a King. And this King wasn't an ordinary king,
He was actually God.

	So therefore, we have Jesus Who though sitting on the Throne and is a
man, yet there is no difference between Him and God, per se, on the
grounds of the fact that the Son cannot have a thought without the
Father. The Father cannot have a thought without the Son. And the Son
cannot do anything without the Father, and the Father cannot do anything
without the Son. You see, you're at a peculiar terrific set up there.
And you noticed It's gone into a spin. 

10.	Now, you recall that a couple of years ago, so I began teaching on
'The Spin of the Resurrection' which we're coming into. Likening the end
time power to an inverted pyramid, (which it is) like a tornado.

	Now, remember in the beginning Jesus was the Cornerstone. And in the
first…we saw Bro. Branham drew his pyramid which was a little pyramid
above a pyramid. (See?) So…the reason that was, because if the Bride
is the body of Christ, and she's got to be a pyramid, in the sense that
He is a pyramid. See, you couldn't have another structure up here,
outside of the structure down below, because it's got to be perfect.
It's got to be one and the same. (You understand what I am saying now?) 

	So therefore, there was a little gap up in there. And everything that
God poured into Christ, which was God Himself poured into Christ, then
now Christ must pour in measure by measure in Seven Ages until it all
comes down. And when it all come down the, entire the Holy Spirit was
not with the Church. And so therefore, He must come down. And therefore,
He did come down, and He was the Pyramid.

11.	Now, what you'll notice in Seven Church Ages which came in the
Church, that little old Cornerstone was nothing compared to the
Capstone. That's why Bro. Branham said, "Pentecost, we are a million
times greater than Pentecost." Why? Because God Himself has come down.

	Now, let me tell you something about this: this doctrine was understood
to a degree by the devil.  And so, in 1914 he had Russelite's (Jehovah
Witnesses) tell the whole world that Jesus had come back to earth. Then
of course the World War broke out, and that stumped that one out.

	Now, everything that God has ever done, or going to do, has always been
stymied by the devil. That's why the virgin birth is laughed at. Any
time, why you go to the Orient and you talk about a virgin birth, they
chuckle up their sleeves. And of course, there's a big hole in the
elbow, and they say, "We've been all through that, that's that temple
junk." The priest went in there and had intercourse with the so-called
virgin, they brought forth babies, so the men wouldn't get mad  because,
they've been tampered by the priests. They said, "The gods came down." 

	There isn't anything that hasn't been stunk up by the devil.  The
Oneness doctrine was stunk up by the devil. So, you had people believing
the body of Jesus dissolved, hogwash the body of Jesus dissolved, it's
still with us. Still up there in a dimension.

12.	So, when you come to this doctrine of the Parousia, the Presence,
It's already been released on the world, because It's here in the Bible.
The devil can read. If he can't read, neither can I. He's so lot smarter
than I am. So, they had this doctrine all loused up before it ever came
on earth. But according to the Scripture they had has got to be a time
when He is here. That He is here without men knowing how He got here, or
the hour He got here; or anything else about It. And the worse thing of
all is the evidence of His Presence, is chaos and deceit and deception.
And when that goes into full spin in orbit, people don't realize, "that
he that is righteous is righteous still, and he that is filthy is filthy
still." And as the whole panoramic, (that's even a no-good word) but as
God Himself is righteous and standing here. The same devil unrighteous,
has got to stand here, because the unveiling of Jesus unveiled the
antichrist.

	So therefore, if there is going to be the unveiling of the Light which
is God, which according to the diagram that Bro. Branham drew, the
circle in the Seventh Church Age was almost entirely black. There was
hardly any light in it whatsoever. 

13.  Now, that being the case, you can understand that the vessels of
light, (the Bride) would be infinitesimal in comparison to the other
vessels. Well then, no wonder chaos and confusion, and hypocrisy and
deceit is a billion times greater more manifested than truth. (Do you
follow me now, what we're talking about?)

	So, they're going to say, "Where is He? What about Him? And all they
can point to is a bunch of errant junk. You talk about Bro. Branham. 

	"What about him?" 

	"Aw, they made him God."  (Fap!) So forget it.

	"What about Bro. Branham?"

	"Ah, he got too big for his britches."

	"What about Bro. Branham?"

	"Ah, he got killed, God killed him." 

	There's no use batting you head against the wall honey. "Rejoice your
redemption draweth nigh."  If it was any other way than this, if Bro.
Branham said, "I would know if I was wrong." See, if you're looking for
a great big move… (well, I almost said something, I won't, you know
what I'm thinking.) My heavens, Bro. Branham warned against all that
stuff.

14.	Now, It [Hebrews 5:] says here, "you're a priest:

		(7)	Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and 	
				supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able 		
			to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

		(8) 	Though he were a Son, he learned obedience by the things which 		
			he suffered;

		(9) 	And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation
						unto all them that obey him;

	Now, that's the key right there. And in It He's the high Priest. And
because He became the author by the price He paid, God has got to stand
behind Him, and give Him what He promised Him for paying the price. (You
follow me?) 

	All right, then there's got to come a time when God begins to pay the
price. (See?) One of them is: "He shall see His seed, He shall prolong
His days." [Isa 53:10b] And that's what It says over here in Corinthians
at the time of the Parousia. God Himself has got to come down set
Himself at the Head of the Church and raise the dead. Because they have
got to be presented to Jesus. (See?) He has got to have what God said
was coming to Him.

15.	Now, let's go back again to 1 Corinthians 15: over here so we can
try to line some more of this thinking up. Now, notice in 24-25.

		(24) 	Then cometh the end…   

	He's talking about this great period that is set forth, because of the
Presence of this Mighty One of Revelation 10:1. Now, at the same time
Revelation 10:7 is there, the Covenant Angel Christ, the Logos God, very
God, in Spirit form veiled in a Pillar of Fire, the Mighty Messenger  of
the Covenant. And at the same time there's the human messenger which is
that prophet.

	Now, It says here: at that time the dead are going to be raised. And
from that time of the Parousia wherein the dead are raised, you've got
no place to go, but where God begins to bring everything into Divine
order, because redemption is all but run out. You see, there's two
things that you've got to watch: one is the Gentile, and one is the Jew.

16.	Now, the times of intercessory for the Jew does not run out until
the Sixth Seal. But the time of the intercessory for the Gentile runs
out under the Fourth Seal, because the Rapture takes place under the
Fourth Seal. Now, the Seventh Seal, (part of It) is the return of the
Lord Jesus Christ in a physical form which takes place with the Bride in
chapter 19. But you see, there's things going on in between that. That's
why this morning I brought you the three phases of Christ. The First
Resurrection Millennial Christ, the White Throne judgment Christ, and
the future Home of the earthly Bride Christ. Because when this starts
here It can't stop. You see, because God's got to take over, because the
work of Jesus is running out.

	And then you see, when He comes down to set Himself at the Head of the
Church in order to raise the dead, Christ has got to sit on that Throne,
because that Throne won't stay vacant as far as I can understand what
Bro. Branham was teaching, the Scripture teaching. Because He was not
sitting on His Father's Throne, He was sitting on the Mercy Seat.

17.	For Revelation 3:20 says, "I'm sitting on the Father's Throne." Now,
He tells only one group of people the promise and that's the Seventh
Church Age, the end time that as He sat on that Throne they're going to
sit with Him in His Throne. 

	Now, you know that when you sit on the Throne it signifies a ruling and
reigning. But the significance of the ruling and reigning is that God is
doing it for him. Do you realize that the power behind the throne of
Joseph was Pharaoh? And yet Joseph was out there of course doing
everything because Pharaoh was behind him. Now, you've got the very same
thing right now. Jesus is being given the pre-eminence by God, because
for two thousand years Jesus has been giving God the pre-eminence. (You
follow me?) He certainly has given God the pre-eminence. He's done the
will of the Father.

	He said, "Lo, I come to do Your will O God." [Heb 10:9] To bring every
last one in. So therefore, the end time, and remember with the Parousia
don't forget this, because your thinking only in terms of resurrection,
because all I've done is hit the resurrection. But you go back on my
other sermons. "Behold I show you a mystery, we shall not all sleep,
we'll all be changed." [1 Cor 15:51] 

18.	And how I showed you in 1 Thessalonians [4:13] when Paul began
preaching. "Now brethren, I would not have you to be ignorant,
concerning them which are asleep." (See?) So, what he was doing was
preaching the time of the living who would be in their own resurrection
without even dying, and those who would come up. And God, in Bro.
Branham said, "Jesus does all three in descending." 

	Now, let's get this straight, I don't care if he did call Him Jesus,
He's God. You say, "Why don't you?" Because they got the same Name!
Jesus as the flesh is God, and God is the flesh as a Spirit is Jesus.
I'm talking now of names. If I had a son named Lee Vayle you'd have to
know exactly which one we're talking about. Because that's one of the
great secrets of the Name. I was going to…I'm going to bring out an
entire message on the inheritance of Jesus and the Name. The Name which
is in the Bride today is the Name of Jesus, which is the Name of God.
And unless you know your theology, you cannot tell one from the other.
That's why the whole world is in such a mess and don't understand this
Message. Even the Bride doesn't understand It. Because they get all
confused with their Trinitarian hogwash.

19.	Jesus as a man is not God. But He's got His Father's Name. So,
you've got to know what you're talking about, when you begin talking in
the true Scripture here. That's why I separated so carefully here and
showed you there's two things being talked about here. Two
personalities.

 	Now, this One, Jesus sitting on the Throne, Jesus down here in the
form of the Holy Spirit. The Scripture distinctly proves that Jesus came
back as the Holy Ghost. I proved that in Ephesians chapter 4. The One
that went down, went up. And the One that went up came back. Jesus came
back as the Holy Ghost. He is the Holy Ghost. It's one Name. "I came in
My Father's Name, you wouldn't take It." For Jesus is Jehovah Savior.
What is the Name of God? 'Jesus'. The world doesn't want that. That
Trinitarian dogma doesn't want It, because they're bunch of stinking
idolaters.  

20.	Okay, so the body as I understand Scripture, as Bro. Branham brought
out on page 25, 'Souls are in Prison Now';  climbed upon the Throne. So
therefore, God, very God veiled in a Pillar of Fire, not veiled in human
flesh, but in a Pillar of Fire, It comes down upon earth.

	And remember, heaven means 'an elevated place', which Bro. Branham
taught was a dimension. So, at one time Jesus stood upon this earth, and
He said, "Even the Son of man which is in heaven." And Bro. Branham
said, "Figure that out." There's nothing to figuring out, it's in a
dimension. That was Alpha, Omega stands here now, the Holy Ghost that
says, "even the Son of God which is in Heaven.? And He is the Son of
God, because that's Holy Ghost. We're talking now not in terms of the
prophet Son of man, because the prophet is gone. The Omega has taken
place, we're under the Alpha. Why? Because there's no difference.
Because the Son cannot have a thought apart from the Father, and the
Father apart from the Son. The Son does nothing except the Father. And
the Father does nothing except the Son.

21.	That's exactly why He's Judge. That when Ezekiel looked up, he saw
wheels turning within wheels, and the faces go this way, the faces go
that way. They go this, they go that. Never out of order for one single
solidarity minute. You wait until the Bride gets that way. That's what
Bro. Branham said, "She'd have the Word and know what to do with It, or
shut her mouth and keep still."  

	The squeeze has got to come down first. You're not there yet. You're
not there yet, but you're getting there. Because God must do this for
the sake of Jesus, Who has done what Jesus did. Now, as I said, Jesus
gave God the pre-eminence. But at this time, God is giving Jesus the
pre-eminence, by placing Him at the Head of the Bride, which she is. But
God Himself on earth right now as the Head of the Bride setting Himself
up by the Message in order to bring the Bride into a place where she can
be changed, because she's got to be a virgin of that Word. And when she
becomes a virgin of that Word, and has that Word, and will do nothing
with It, except she hears from the Father, so that the Vertical becomes
the horizontal, that's the time she's going to go to the Tree of Life
and become immortal.

22.	So, here's what we're looking at. We're looking a something
brother/sister, you can pray and fast till the cows come home, it ain't
going to do one thing for you. Well, it'll help to keep you out of sin.
But you can pray yourself plumb into backsliding, you don't know what
you're doing while you're praying. Because if you think you're going to
get this by praying and fasting, I've got news for you, this is only for
the Elect it’s in the cards of God where He's going to deal it.

	See, the preacher's right now saying… if one fellow said in
Pennsylvania, down there preaching in Macon, Georgia. He said, "If I can
get two people to go home (he said) and preach, and to the preachers and
let them know what I'm saying, (he said) we can change all the
churches." And his idea was praying and fasting.	

	Let me tell you something: you can pray and fast till you're blue in
the face and get oil in your hands and blood in your forehead, unless
God is doing this thing for you and in you, you ain't going to make it,
because this is the election. (See?)

23.	Now, notice what It says here that He's taking onto Himself all
authority and all rule. God is doing it to place it in the Son. So,
everything is going to come under Him. And you know as well as I do from
1 Corinthians 11: it's got to start in the church. So, He came to the
church and the church slammed the door in His face. Now, the Bride, (so
called) has slammed the door in His face, because all they want to do is
talk about Bro. Branham. 

	As I said before if Rebekah had said the Eliezer, "Well listen, why
don't you speak for yourself Eliezer, because I think you're a pretty
cute chick." She wouldn’t have got Isaac. Wouldn't that have been a
fine mess for the Bride to turn around that she's affianced to this man
here, and the fellow that goes to bring the ring and bring the bride
runs off with her? So, I think that maybe the so called 'bride' has
slammed the door in the face of Jesus. He's trying to get back in.
(See?)   

24.	What I'm getting across to you is this: as Bro. Branham said in the
Christ the Mystery of God Revealed [63-07-28], "God reveals Himself,
gains the pre-eminence and brings us back to Eden." Now, how in the
world is God ever going to gain the pre-eminence unless the Divine order
comes in the church? And Bro. Branham said, (I think in the Seventh
Seal) he said, "Israel had a Divine order when they went out to the
Promise Land." And they did with the Levites in the middle. As Dr. A. E.
Mitchell said, "They formed a cross, they never tented around a circle."
I believe as he said, "They formed a group after group behind each
other, to the north, to the south, east and west and formed a cross."
And the ministry (you see) was what made the Cross efficacious. The
ministry the Holy Ghost makes the Cross efficacious. 

	So, all this time Christ has paid a price, has done the work that God
wanted, and now it's time for those to come in under redemption, but
there's a special group standing there that don't die. So, God just
can't come down and raise the dead, He's got to come down and work with
the Bride to the extent that, "they without us cannot be made perfect."
[Heb 10:40] And we can come to the place in the sovereignty of God where
we can walk to the Tree of Life. Walk right over and not die. So, you
see what I'm talking about.

25.	Now, look let's face it flat, if you and I come to such a place
because of the ministry that Jesus Christ afforded us, that you and I
can be changed without dying; that you and I can have the Word of God
and shut up and keep still unless we know what to do with It and thereby
do it, so the Vertical goes into the horizontal. If you wouldn't call
that giving Christ the pre-eminence and God reigning and ruling starting
in the Church, would Jesus literally on the Throne seeing this thing
brought to pass, because remember, He's got to proceed us to the Throne,
because we've got to sit in His Throne as He sat in the Father's Throne,
and I know what I'm talking about.

	That's why I believe the chorology that Bro. Branham stated in ‘Souls
that are in Prison Now’ has to do not with the Sixth Seal, but under
the Fourth Seal. Because the Seals have been opened. He said,
"perfectly, except number Seven." And he delegated number Seven only to
the Personal return of Jesus Christ. He did not delegate It all there,
because under the Seven Seals was Seven Thunders. And the Seven Thunders
is not Jesus Christ returning. And again, he said, "The Seals were Jesus
Christ revealed." So, when you're dealing with Seventh Seal don't get
carried away, because he said, "The Seventh Seal was unrevealed as to
the literal return of Jesus Christ, the Christ which is in the mind of
God alone." Why let's take a look at these things here, who cares when
that takes place, when you know what this is going on here.

26.	Okay, now, so verses 24-25 [1 Corinthians] of 15: are explained in
verses 26-28. And God is doing this great thing, because of what Jesus
did which was go to the Cross, and then become the Priest in order to
bring us in and keep us in. 

	Now, let's go back to 23-25 again.

		(23) 	But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits;
(alright, Christ 					is risen) afterward they that are Christ's at his
coming.

	Now, the ones that are gone on before are Old Testament. The ones that
come out of the graves, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David and those that
came out, they're already gone on. Forget it. It's a finish thing, the
first half, of the First Resurrection. Now, we're talking of the
Gentiles only. And Bro. Branham make this very clear in 'Souls that are
in Prison Now '.

	Now, he says here: "They that are Christ at His Parousia." No dead can
be raised brother/sister unless He's there to raise them. And nobody can
be changed unless He's here to change them. Now, it's got to be done.
It's got to be done, because they had been brought in by the Lamb. The
death and the Priesthood must be there to be vindicated, so therefore,
God has got to act, because Jesus does not raise the dead, God raises
the dead. 

	Let me assure you, Jesus did not raise Himself, God raised Him. Let me
assure you, God did not die, because God cannot die. Let me assure you,
God never was born, because God cannot be born. Let me assure you, God
did not create Himself, because God could not create Himself. He already
was. So, unless we get our picture just as straight and clear as we can
get it for understanding sake.

27.	Now, you will see that His Presence, the last word of 23 which is
coming, which is Parousia; means His Presence, starts the finalizing all
we see in the Millennial, White Throne, New Jerusalem man call Jesus.
That's why Bro. Branham said, "That Seventh Seal positively was like a
Roman candle." And it just went plumb on. It goes right up to the time
when It's all handed back.

	In other words, when the Blue-print is completely finished, and then
God wants to proceed beyond the Blue-print would only what God has in
His mind, but has not revealed it to us.

	Now alright, once more 23-24.

		(23) 	…every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits;
afterward they 					that are Christ's at his coming. (Now, he's talking
about a Divine 						order here.)

		(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.

	Now notice, to emphasize that God Himself has now stepped in, in a
takeover we analyze more carefully these verses. And remember, the
Parousia is the juncture. If He doesn't come down this will never
happen. This has got to come down, He has got to come down.

28.	Okay, the Parousia signifies the end of an era; 20-23.

		(20) 	But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the
first-fruits of 					them that slept.

		(21) 	…since by man came death, by man came…resurrection of the
dead.

		(22) 	For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive.

		(23) 	But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits;
afterward they 					that are Christ's at his coming. (His Presence) 

	That signifies the end of an order. An end of an era. (see?) The
turning of a corner. The Parousia also signifies the beginning of all
that is left which God will now do, until He Himself is the complete and
full sovereign, not only by reason of creation, but all creation as now
in Divine order. Subjection, by reason of being ranked under Him in
verses 24 and 25. Now It says:

		(24) 	Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom
					(of) God, even the Father; (you) put down all rule and all
authority…  

		(25) 	…he must reign, till…all enemies (be put) under his feet.

29.	Now, we go to 1 Corinthians 11:3, and It says:

		(3)	…I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ;
the 					head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

	So, It tells you there's an Divine order. And It tells you that Christ
has a Head. Now, we know the woman signifies the Bride, so therefore
Jesus is the Head of the Bride, (the physical) and God is the Head of
the whole thing being Head of Jesus Christ.

30.	Now, with that also we go to Ephesians 1:22.

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

	Now, the point is It tells you that what God has promised is a
definitely when Jesus rose from the dead, He had the sole promise that
everything would be under Him. And He gave Him to be Head over all
things to the Church.  

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

	Which means the Bride will one day sit with Him at this particular time
at the end of the Resurrection comes the Rapture. They would sit with
Him and everything would be under them, because they would be in control
together will all things being worked out by God.

 	Now, further we emphasize that the First Resurrection is the turning
point just as well as the Parousia. Because the Parousia, (the Presence)
is here for the Resurrection. You don't separate the one from the other.
If you believe He's here, you believe this is the hour of the
Resurrection.

31.	If this is the hour of the Resurrection, you know that He is here.
It won't work any other way. Now, we have now come to the place of John
11:21-26, where Jesus stood at the graveside of Lazarus after Lazarus
was dead for four days which signifies a resurrection.

		(21) 	(And) said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my 
					brother had not died.

		(22) 	But I know, that even now, (whatever you) ask of God, God will 	
				give it (to you).

	You see, she said, "You weren't here before, so You couldn't bring
about healing him, but now that You are here You can bring about a
resurrection." Now, the fact is that Jesus was not here before, God did
not come down in His entirety to stop anyone of us from dying. But now
that He is here we will not die and the rest will be raised. (You
follow) That's what It says here.

		(23) 	Jesus (said, your) brother shall rise again.

		(24) 	(She said,) I know that (he'll) rise again in the resurrection
at the 						last day.

	Now, He said, "Hold it girl, I've got news for you, it's going to take
place before the last day." And that's exactly where the First
Resurrection takes place before the last day. Before the tribulation
before the judgment, before the burning, before the fire. (See?)

		(25) 	(I am) Jesus…I am the resurrection, the life: he that
believeth me,		 				though he were dead, yet shall live:

		(26) 	And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest 					thou this? (And that's an actual promise.) 

	The time that He stands there He said to her, "Do you believe me now
that I am here?"

	And she said, "Yea, Lord, (she said) you'll never die."

	Now, that's Alpha has got to be Omega. It's got to repeat again, and is
repeating right tonight. There is a people who believe this Message who
will not die, because He is here, and He's the One that brought It. I've
got a lot of things to talk about that, and I've talked about some since
I've been here. But I've got a whole lot more to say about it, can't say
it tonight.

 	Now, how true this is. For it is a new creation that is about to step
forth on this earth both of the animate being man, and the animate being
the beast. God is going to bring forth even the inanimate, because He
will then work on this earth something like a resurrection. Not a true
resurrection, but that comes later, but He's going to clean it up for
us.

32.	 Now, to nail this last statement down we go to Ephesians (which I
looked at a minute ago, chapter) 1:15-23, (which I read before many,
many times to you.)

		(15) 	Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus,
and 						love unto all the saints,

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

		(17) 	That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give 					unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge
of him:

	Now, that's what tell you, Bro. Branham said, "That's that Spirit that
comes into the Church in Daniel's Seventieth Week to let the Church know
the hour in which It is living, and the deep mysterious secrets of God."
And he said, "As Gabriel came to Daniel, so the Spirit comes to the
Church." In other words, there's definitely an end time wind up, where
the mysteries of the end time wind up are revealed.

		(18) 	The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may
know 					what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the
glory of his 					inheritance in the saints, (I'll explain that to you
sometime, not tonight.)

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

		(20) 	Which he wrought in Christ, … 

	Now, he said, "When that Spirit comes, He comes with revelation and
with power to raise the dead." Now, who is going to get raised? Those to
whom God has reveled Himself. The rest of them don't even believe He's
here.  "Oh, (they say) that's that Rutherford hogwash. That's that
Jehovah Witness nonsense."

33.	 Well, I've got word for you, it's not. It's not the devil's
scarecrow now, this is the real thing. The devil's scarecrow is a thing
of the past. It says:

		(20) 	Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead,
…(See?)

	In other words, there's going to be a resurrection. Then It says: 

		(20)	…set him at his own right hand… (which is a rapture) 

	 Then says, "The Bride is His fullness which sits with Him," she's
raptured too. That's your Parousia. Now you see why I spoke of this
morning as a millennial, the First Resurrection Millennial Jesus. Then I
spoke as the White Throne Jesus, and I spoke as a New Jerusalem Jesus to
you, because when this starts the rest has got to follow. We're in the
windup.

	Now, I know right today how you feel, you don't feel you're in a
windup. You feel like you're in a rundown, slowdown and there's
confusion. But that's the sign of the Presence, confusion. And Bro.
Branham said, "If all this mess weren't here, I'd know I had the wrong
Message." They made him Jesus Christ, they made him a devil, they made
him everything under high heaven. I had the same privilege, but not the
same intensity. It's really kind of cute.

34.	Now, Ephesians 1:15-23 is not Ephesians 1:13-14. Which is where he
said: 

		(13) 	In whom (you) also trusted, after (you) heard the word of truth,
the 					gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that (you)
believed, 						(you're) sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

		(14) 	Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of
the 						purchased possession, …

	But the redemption is down here. You're little old tiddly baptism. I
don't mean to sound like it sounds, because it's not a tiddly baptism.
But look, as the sperm of a male cannot be seen without the magnifying
power of a very heavy microscope, that's how you know the Holy Spirit is
that you're born again by, in relation to the Holy Spirit, God Himself,
Who stands here.

	Now, I was born you know, the same as you were born, a little tiny egg,
a little tiny sperm. Now, if the sperm were available to you that I was
started by, you couldn't even see it. Then how many more times greater
is my body then that sperm that started me? Billions of times. Then God
standing here, the billion times greater than your rebirth. Now, your
rebirth does not take you out of the ground, it gets you ready to come
out of the ground. This here, gets you out of the ground. 

	Verse 14, does not get you out of the ground, but verse 19 and 20, gets
you out of the ground. (See?) Verse 14 does not make you immortal, but
verse 19 and 20, make you immortal. You follow me? There's a big
difference.

35.	Now, verse 14 is not the Parousia. Verse 19 and 20, is the Parousia,
because this Spirit comes into the Church. The spirits you and have
comes into each individual. But there's a Spirit coming into the Church
which is going to make that Church so unique, that there's never been a
Church like it. She becomes a super, super, super, super Church to
approach unto the Headstone.

	I know that's very farfetched and it doesn't seem like it's going to
happen, but I still say with Bro. Branham, "If we're not Bride, there's
a Bride out there somewhere and by the grace of God I won't stand in her
way." It's going to happen, because it's already happening.

36.	All right, so there's a difference between Ephesians 1:15-23, and
between Ephesians 1:13-14, which is the part of Divine sovereignty which
God has called the lost sheep to participate in. He's called the lost
sheep to participate in verses 13 and 14, but He does not call them in
verses 15-23. They don't even know… [blank spot on tape…Bro. Vayle
reads from Philippians 3]   

		(20) 	For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for 
					the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

		(21)	Who shall change our vile body, …

	Now, come on, don't you see the Name of God there? Lord Jesus Christ.
Who comes down? Not the Lamb, does not come down. The One on the Throne
comes down. The entire Holy Spirit, God comes down. The Holy Spirit
comes down:

		(21)	…(to)  change our vile (bodies to) be fashioned like unto his
glorious 					body, …

	You say, "But that proves Jesus comes down to do it. No., it doesn't!
What body does He head up?  Whose body does He own? The glorious One on
the Throne. (Wait until I come back sometime and teach you on the word
'glory'. You're going to be surprised as I told you this morning. If I
ever get back, who knows, who cares?)

37.	Listen:

		(21) 	Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like
his 						glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able to 
					subdue… (no!  'to subject' to make under order.)

	It's the same thing that's found in 1 Corinthians, the same identical
One. So, you can see right here this is a part that takes place in the
Parousia which starts the ball rolling that takes you right to New
Jerusalem. That's why…listen if you are in the Parousia, if you are
part of the Presence, you got it made. If you are not part of that
Presence, you haven't got it made. In other words, if you're just a
believer, a hanger-on just wondering. That's right, there's a lot of
those. 

	As I said this morning, they came out of Pentecost, Pentecost didn't
come out of them. You get preachers wondering if people should speak in
tongues or not. I'm going to tell you flat, that's absolutely not right,
the prophet of God said, "they don't do it." And they appear doing it,
who's doing it? The one truly baptized with the Holy Ghost. Come on out,
smarten up! You're too far down the road to be a bunch of apes now. 

	I know you don't me to be preaching this way, I hang tough, I care
nothing for anybody, or any man. I don't honor any man. I don't even
honor God enough, why should I honor any man? That's the cry of my heart
why I'm going crazy. I beat my brains out.  Beat yours out, fuss at you,
fuss at myself, ready to tear thing apart. Shouldn't do it, I know,
because I know better. I know a lot better. I'm not going honor no man.
There's only one great One amongst us, that's the Holy Ghost. Ain't no
apostles, prophets, pastors and this kind of hogwash and jazzed up junk.
I could tell you something where I'm not making my boast stand, wouldn't
be one of you could tell me I should stand beside you and we'll see
what's going to happen in the near future. I'd dare you. I'd dare you.
I'm not kidding you.  

38.	I was a fool years ago and I could discern. I knew how to break into
those realms. You can break into spiritual realms you don't belong. It
doesn't mean you're going to go to hell, but you keep it up it shows you
are going the wrong place. You insist on going in there. I tell people
you stand beside me, I'd say, "You couldn't hide if you tried." I didn't
know Bro. Branham said that. And they couldn't. I was wrong in doing it.
 I used to say years ago, I'll say the same thing right today. I'll
challenge any man to prove what the prophet told me about myself
identified in the Bible. …?...  I got bold this last while, because I
got sick and tired of this stuff going around, where I'm supposed to
kowtow to somebody. And kiss somebody's knuckle and be sweet and
friendly, wish them God speed when they're tearing down the Kingdom of
God and blaspheming the Name of my Jesus and being a pope, taking His
place. Don't talk to me. If you want a fight you'll get a good one,
because I'm in a fighting mood. I did, I'm not kidding, I ripped three
people up coming to my place this year. I got sick and tired of them,
sick and tired. (See?) 

	What does the Word say? You tell me if you're going to speak in tongues
when the prophet said, "They don't speak to get the Holy Ghost." (Uh?)
Sure, it's right. Either you believe the prophet or don't believe the
prophet. (See?) Now, you look at me, you're not going to make things
come to pass brother/sister. You're not going to make one thing come to
pass. You have Jesus Himself warned you, you can't add cubit to your
stature by taking thought, you can't change one hair of your head. 

39.	 Then why are you trying and do it? It's going to take God to do it
according to the genes that are in you. Because the body will come forth
according to the seed. Right seed, right body, wrong seed, wrong body.
And nothing will change a wheat into an oat, and nothing will change a
goat to a sheep. Hallelujah, or a pig or a dog into a sheep. They always
were sheep, but they went astray. Fap, on your pseudo intellectual, or
your pseudo hierarchy.

	Well, you say, "Hey boy, I'd like to get that Change in my body. I
would too. You know Who's going to do it if It's done? God. He's going
to do It by descending. Bro. Branham said He does all three, Shout,
Voice, Rapture, God does It. Start thinking about It, won't do you any
good except you think positively and say, "Ain't that wonderful?" 

	"I'm going to think and make my body change?" Are you? Oh, that will
help you to a degree.   I believe you can even get rid of cancer by
positive thinking. I'm going to tell you one thing: you can't get
immortal. Oh, the doctors hate Divine healing, because they think we're
trying to make ourselves immortal. Hogwash! Anyone with an ounce of
brains know he can't make himself immortal, we condition ourselves to
die. I'm conditioning myself right now to die. I'm past sixty,  and I
admit it. And the older you get, the more you want to condition yourself
to get out of here regardless. You get to the place even you say, "Well,
who cares what's ahead, just get out of here."

40.	 Who's conditioning himself at this hour to remain forever? Oh, you
can't do it really. All you can do is believe this Message, and God's
got to change you. You can't change yourself. Nobody can, you can't do
it. There's no way that you can change yourself even at this moment, and
various aspects of your life. Now way that you can do it, you know you
crystallize more and more the way you're going. Oh, I challenge you,
prove me different, you can't do it, because you know it's the truth.

	You thing Abraham could have changed himself and changed Sarah? Sarah
even got bitter at the end time. She said, "Oh, that's a lot of hogwash,
I'm going to have a baby." She said, "Fap, he's too old, and I'm too
old. It's not an act of enjoyment anymore, let alone an act of
procreation. Phooey, (she said) it's all over." I'm going to tell you
something, she was right, and Abraham was right, no dice but God. (See?)
You're the same place right today. 

	 See, that's why I'm preaching right here from this Scripture. God is
doing something, and only God can do it. Nobody else can do it, and you
just got to stand back with your heart in your stomach, and your stomach
in your shoes. "Though He slay me, will I trust Him." [Job 13:15]       
     He wants to die in the gutter, you die in the gutter.
Brother/sister you're at the end time, I don't care what you think, I'm
telling you flat from the Scripture here what the prophet taught, you
are at the end time. And God is going to do what God what is sovereign,
and there isn't anybody going to stop Him. And let furthermore there
isn't anybody going to help Him, because He is now repaying Jesus for
what Jesus did.

41.  The work of Christ is now coming to fruition, "where He shall see
His seed, and He shall prolong His days," [Isa 53:10] He's been doing
it, but He's going to do it in a big way now. The dead come out of the
earth. He said, "Father, You made a bargain, that I'm coming out of the
loins of David, and I'm going to be the greater Son sitting on that
Throne." He said, "I want My Throne."

	"Well, (He said) I'll give you a little bit of practice, sit on this
one." I believe that. I believe that God is giving Jesus pre-eminence at
this moment. And I believe the so-called Bride is giving everybody but
God pre-eminence, because he's giving everybody else pre-eminence. This
great one, that great one. There are no great one's amongst us, except
the Holy Spirit.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, didn't awhile ago you talked about yourself?"
Sure, but let me tell you something: I'm not that dumb, I don't know
what Paul the apostle said. I myself can become a castaway. Yeah, I'm
not kidding. I don't have to lie to you what the prophet said about me.
I'd go right over to his wife, she'd tell you flat. Let me tell you one
thing, I can be just as big a fool as anybody, and blow the whole thing.
Paul the apostle said he could do it.

	William Branham knowing who he was said, "Can't prove a thing, nobody
can." Well I'll tell you, this Scripture said God is doing something now
that He started, and it'll never finish. Brother/ sister we know we are
in the First part, there's no way you'll miss Two, Three, the White
Throne and New Jerusalem, no way. You say, "Why?" Because God's doing
it. Here's where the Bride can enter into rest, if she'll want to enter
into rest if she wants to enter into rest, I'll teach you on that later
on.

42.	Now listen, to prove the Parousia or Presence ends this era. Now,
we're proving it, it ends an era, starts a new one. Revelation 10: 

		(1) 	…mighty (messenger) come down from heaven, clothed with a 					
cloud: a rainbow upon his head, face was as it were the sun, and 					
his feet as pillars of fire:

		(2) 	…had in his hand (an) open book: right foot upon the sea, left
(upon) 					the earth,

		(3) 	…cried with a loud voice, (now right on, and said the) thunders
uttered… 		

		(4)	 …(don't) write them…

		(5) 	And the angel (that stood) upon the sea…  

		(6) 	sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, 	
				and (so on) the time (is) no longer: (which means, there's no longer
					delayed.)

		(7) 	But in the days of the voice of the seventh (messenger, he'll)
begin 						to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath
declared 					(the good news of the gospels by) his servants the
prophets.

	Now, It tells you right here, under the Seventh Messenger, the Seventh
Church Age; this is where it all ends, time runs out, you now swing into
the eternals. It happens in the Parousia, because the mighty One with
the Rainbow could only be the same One Who sat upon the Throne with the
Rainbow on Him, because there aren't two rainbows, two thrones, and two
people with rainbows. Just one. So, the One that was on the Throne
vacating, so the Son could come on the Father's Throne, came down to
earth, (which is a dimension, is nothing but a dimension that's all) now
bringing everything cohesively and add-hesively together, so you can
phase out one complete era, which is human redemption. This is to the
Gentiles. Seven Church Age Gentiles, Seven Messenger Gentile. Phasing it
out. (See?)  

43.	So, the Parousia ends an era, starts an era to further enhance the
entire picture of God Himself doing it in His Own sovereign way, we go
to Thessalonians that Bro. Branham taught us.                         1
Thessalonians 4:13.

		(13) 	But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning
them 					which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which
have no 						hope.

		(14) 	For if we believe (the living, believe) that Jesus died and rose
again, 					even so them also which sleep (that have died) in Jesus will
God bring 					(forth) with him. (Bring forth with Jesus; just like
Jesus was brought 					forth.)

		(15) 	For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, ('Thus saith
the Lord') 					that we which are alive and remain (at the time that God
comes down 					and presents Himself upon the earth, we will not go
before) them (that) 					are asleep. 

	Because we're here with God, and they’re not here with God does not
give us an advantage. No advantage at all. Now, he explains it:

		(16) 	For the Lord himself shall (come here by descending) from heaven
					with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, the trump of God:
…

	Now, it does not say that the Voice is a literal voice of the Lord
Himself. It just says He descends and there's a voice there. Bro.
Branham explained that, that's just a voice standing there. Now, you
know positively that It tells you in Ephesians that after the revelation
comes what? Resurrection. So, what's the Voice? Raising the dead? What's
the Trumpet? It tells you, raising up with Him. So where are you going
to go? Up where the body is. Bro. Branham hit it every time on the head
by divine revelation. I go to Scripture and explain It to you. One, two,
three. Who's doing It? God is doing It.

44.	 Now, did God ask any of us if He should come on down, and do It? 
Did He need us praying for God to come down, and do It? The best that
Bro. Bosworth could do…and he was a wonderful person pulling my coat
tail back in 1953 there in West Palm Beach in Florida. He said, "Bro.
Vayle, I prayed for the ministry of Jesus Christ to return to this earth
for forty years, and there He is in that man." Wonderful! But the old
boy didn't know 1963 the One that came down 1933, June the 11, as they
baptized the seventeenth convert, was the same One who John would say,
"Behold the Lamb of God." Behold the mighty Messenger of the Covenant of
Revelation 10:1. And He was that One, though not manifest as that One.
Because He couldn't manifest until he proved who the prophet was, and
proved who he was. And said, "Now, I'm here with the Seven Thunders."
The Seven Seals.  Couldn't do it.

	Jesus was as just as good as the Lamb of God as He stood there thirty
years of age. But He wasn't, until the time came. Jesus was the Son of
David, but He wasn't, and isn't, until the time come. (You follow me
what I'm talking about now?) Bro. Branham mentioned 'potentials', I'm
talking about potentials. He mentioned 'dimensions', we're talking about
dimensions; especially potentials within the dimensions.

45.	Then he said: 

		(17) 	…we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together
with 						them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so ever
be with 						the Lord.

	Now notice, It says, "The Lord shall descend," to be with us. Look,
we're here on earth. These bunch of dogmatic fundamentalists tells us
that He's going to come down and zap, and stay there. Then we're going
to be caught up, then we're see Him. Hogwash, you've got to see Him here
to get your change, because that brings about your change. He's down
here with us, (See?)

	This is identical to 1 Corinthians, where It says, "God is now bringing
everything under Jesus." Certainly, He is because He's bringing them
forth with Him that He brought out of the ground, and changing us so
that we can be with Him. (See?) We're not under His feet. We came out of
His side, we're by His side. He's putting enemies and everything else
down there. 

	Now: 1 Thessalonians 16: the Shout is a military command. It's what It
is. 

46.	Now, let's go back to 1 Corinthians 15:   

		(23)	 …every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; (He's
the first 					order, then those that are His) at his (Parousia. That's
living and 						dead who come out of the ground. That's the order.)

	Now, It says:

		(24) 	Then (comes) the end… 

	See, God is starting a Divine order. Divine order was God, Christ,
Bride. God, Christ, male, female. Never changes. (I'm going to let you
just think that one, I'll sit that out.)

	Now, a reign has started the pre-eminence of Jesus. God giving Him the
promises for what He's done.

		(25) 	…all enemies under his feet.

		(26) 	The last enemy (is even going to) be destroyed… (there's your 
					annihilation, lake of fire, all that junk you see, from serpent
seed 						and all.)

		(27) 	For he hath put all things under his feet…. (See, that's your
dynamic 					promise.)

	Then he said, "When He said, all things are under Him," it's manifested
that God Himself will not be under Him. Now, all these words here.
'subject', 'subdued', 'put under', is from the one word 'to put in an
order'. And since we're talking of this order, we're talking of a Divine
order that God has instituted and is instituting, that's why church
order obliquely was stated has to be part of the Seals and Thunders.
That's why hardly anybody wants to put a church in order. I'm criticized
all the time as though all I know is church order. These funny things
that go on at various meetings. That's alright, criticize all you want,
I know what I'm talking about. And God speaks to me too. Most of the
time I don't listen. I don't listen. To be honest with you. 

47.	I tell you flat, I told you when I went to …?... a couple of years
ago, he told me my ministry was in the west was finished. He said, "Your
ministry in the west is finished." He said, "Your brother will die, you
won't see him again, you won't come back for the funeral."

	So, I got a call out west, I just jump on a plane, (phfft) here I go.
What do I care if God said. "your ministry is finished." But I do. But
you see, I was too stupid like Bro. Branham was. God said, "You're not
going anywhere." He said, "You go to Africa."

	"Well, (he said) I'm going to India." So, God let him forget it. 

	"Well, if that's the case Bro. Branham, how come God said that?" 

	He said, "Because God knew I was a Jonah, had to teach me a lesson."

	Well, I was a Jonah too, had to be taught a lesson. I'd just jump on a
plane and there I went.             I thought what happens if He finds
me, the people would still talk about him. 

	One fellow got the tapes the other day, he said, "My Lord, to think
what I’d been missing not hearing these sermons." But I've paid a
price ever since, I came home and been sick ever since with arthritis
and beat down. When I learn my lesson I'll get better, or I'll die. But
do you think I'll go west again? (Uh, uh. Uh, uh.) No. 

48.	Now, you see my brother died just exactly the way God said. Two
things He told me, I wouldn't listen. Got to learn to listen. Church has
got to come under order. Do you think there's going to be a Bride that
has the Word and not know what to do with It? There's going to be a
Bride that has the Word and knows what to do with It. How? By listening,
she'll keep he mouth shut unless she knows. How is she going to know
except God talks to her? You think God won't talk? Sure, God will talk.
Got to learn to listen.   

	Now, He's bringing the Church under subjection. And now the word
'subject' strange to say is 'military'. Shout, military command. Order,
military. Everything in ranks. The great Commander and General God, Holy
Spirit sovereign Foreknowledger, (if you want to call it) foreknown,
foreknower, what do you call Jesus the One, the Master Architect) He's
the One the foreknew. He's also the great Predestinator, Elector, and
Predestinator. But it took Jesus to implement, (see?) God, Christ,
Bride, foreknown implementor, predestinated.

	Now, He said, "The Church is going to come in order." And Bro. Branham
said, "I'd like to speak on it." But Bro. Branham never did preach on
the order that he suggested he'd like to preach on.  And he said, "When
the Bride knows her position, knows her order she'll be gone." Now, he
shouted out, He's saw them in ranks, and he shouted, "Get in step."

49.	Now, what I'm trying to show you here is Bro. Branham's visions and
the Shout, and what is going on now where God in bringing an order, what
God is doing is literally taking His commanded sovereign Word that He
brought by the prophet, and He's bringing It to pass. And Bro. Branham
said, "The Bride has everything she needs and the seeds to put her in
the Rapture." She's got everything she needs to put her in a
resurrection, and God is doing it. Now, you haven't got one thing to do
with it. 

	Now, you can get a lot of peace if you pray right, if you fast just the
right way; and you study just the right way; and you watch yourself just
the right way it'll do you good. You'll be better soul winner, you'll be
a better advocate for Christ; you'll be better advertisement. There will
be a lot of things that you can do self improvement which is fine. But
you can never bring this to pass. No way. No way. God's got to do it.
And It says that God is now working everything into a condition just the
way He wants it, so that everything is going to be put under the feet of
Jesus.

50.	Now listen, let me just show you something here: if God is not doing
what He's doing today in the ungodly situation were in, why did God say,
"I have raised up Pharaoh the same time I raised up Moses, that My mercy
might be shown in one and My wrath in the other?" Everything is going
just the way God wants it, and I'm so carnal I just don't like it. Well,
I'll admit in my sane moments of sanity, of spiritual sanity, I have to
say with the prophet, "This is the way it has to be." No way you're
going to change it; because you see, God is doing it. (See?)

	Then It says, "Else, what shall they do that are baptized for the
dead?" [1 Cor 15:29] In other words, why did you even get baptized in
the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, as understanding the Name and the
truth; that if you don't come under…you're not part of the subjection?
Why do you bother? How many for the fun of it, how many of you folk got
re-baptized let me see? Oh, come on, put your hands up, don't be so
dumb. That's it, I'll come down and slug you. How many? Get your hands
up, let me see them, got re-baptized. Well, that's better, I like to see
some honest people. Great Caesar's ghost, don't be a bunch of
Pentecostals. I hate to ball you out, but I like instant action. I talk
fast, I want instant action. I got baptized over. I was baptized wrong.

51.	Now the thing is, listen I got baptized for the dead which is Jesus
Who died for me. Now if the dead rise not, I'm not a part of His
Resurrection, what in the world did I get baptized for? Now, if a major
doctrine of this age is a revelation of the Name of Jesus, one God and
be baptized in His Name, then the point is, why do you take It if you're
not part of this if God's not bringing you in order? There you are. 

	The first thing to see is you have become under order by baptism and
understanding the Name. And you understand the Name better since I gave
you the clue. The Name of the Father and the Son is identical. That's
why It says, "The Lord Jesus Christ descends from Heaven." And He's not
talking about the human being sitting on the Throne up there, He's
talking about the Father. But see the perfectness of the full of the
Divine between them. And the Bride is coming there my brother, my
sister, the prophet said so. I don't try to explain It, I don't try to
think It, I don't try to figure It, I don't try to bring It to pass. I
just say, "If God said so, there's a Bride out there somewhere, if I'm
not part of It, then there's a Bride there anyway." (See?)

52.	Now, it is a military command like the Shout, meaning to put in an
order everything in a perfect fold. Now, in an army is in perfect order
you have your generals and your different ones in command, and you have
everything just working exactly right; well everything is working
exactly right now. And people are wondering and say, "If that's the case
Bro. Vayle, why in the Word don't we have all these gifts?"  Because
gifts do it. Why don't we have some mighty thing amongst us? Because
that won't do it. The Word started it, and now God is fulfilling His
Word, so the gifts as it were, are on the shelf and the Word is in
pre-eminence. Then when the Bride has the Word and know what to do with
It, what do you need gifts for?  And especially since gifts have now
become a sign of the end time, which is in the realm of the false
anointed, what would you want to do with it, unless you put it under
order?

	I talked to a preacher in Canada, he's one of your biggest ones, and I
said, "Hey, I understand by some of your best friends I've been told…
(and I can't understand which one of his best friends told me this,
honestly I can't understand why. What is the matter, we got a bunch of
liars amongst us?" Don't answer that question.) Yeah, this buggy
preacher of his said, "So and so has got microphone's in the pews to
pick up the tongues, interpretations and prophecy." 

53.	 Well, this good buddy of his that travels with him and knows him I
said, (figure he ought to know, I said to a couple of friends) I said,
"Hey do you know that so and so has got microphones in his pews to pick
up them their messages.?"  Well, later on I got kind of funny, feel
funny about it. So, I phoned him about it. So, I said, "Hey, (I said)
I've been told is it the truth that you've got microphones in the pew to
pick up those messages coming forth in the congregation?" 

	He said, "Bro. Vayle, (he said) that is only not true, (he said) and
that doesn't bother me, (he said) if people should say, (he said) what
bothers me is there's nothing coming forth." And that's the way it
should be.

	Now when you get nervous because God is having His way, and you don't
like God having His way, there's something awful funny about you, and me
too. I mean you as a principle. Because look, if the gifts are not in
order, that's the place where the devil gets in and evil worship comes
in. I never had the chance to preach that last sermon here, which was
number eight or nine on the Holy Spirit series. I've only preached it
one place which is back home. And I take the question Bro. Branham was
asked, "Can a man full of the Holy Ghost with a genuine gift be used of
the devil?"

	He said, "Yes.”  And I take everything he said according with
Scripture, takes about two and a half hours. Church order was given so
the devil cannot get in. Then why allow him in? Why lock him in? Hit him
with the clubs, spiritual clubs, get him out of there.

54.	Now, verse after verse speaks of the order which means it's in a
military, which signifies that now at this end time God is doing it. Now
I want to ask you a question: who can resist the Will of God? Nobody,
nobody.  Now, you say, "Well I did." Oh, did you, for how long? If you
resisted the place, He'll just kill you, take you off the scene and
cleaned up.  You can't resist His Will. Because He's going to get you
there. He doesn't lose one single one.

	Now, do you think He's going to lose out here? I don't care what this
Bride looks like. Really, I don't when I stand up here and preach. When
I get out of the pulpit I go [makes a noise] the soup goes out of me,
the air goes out of me and I feel pretty, horrible. But up here I don't
feel sick at all. I feel my glands work good, everything works good
usually. I got no trouble. Under the anointing is…I can see a million
miles. And I can see where not one promise is failing, and God is doing
every single thing that He said He was going to do. And He's doing a
whole lot more, and giving credit for It, because He says right here,
He's taking everything in His hand. And He's doing it, He's putting it
in order, and even the enemies are coming under. (See?)

	There's nothing that is not coming to the end where God is sovereign.
The root of 'shout' is the same root for the word 'subject'. So
therefore, the Word which came is now being implemented and God is
bringing It to pass.

55.	Now remember, Bro. Branham three times in the tape of  'The Rapture'
[65-12-04]                     said, "Thus, It has been spoken, thus It
will be." Here it is right here. (Do you follow?) Okay. God is doing It.
Okay, we got all night. (Thank you, it's nice of you.) I'm wearing out
myself. So, we're going to go over here to page 549 of the Seals.  [The
Seventh Seal 63-03-24]

[62] 	 Now, learn a parable of the fig tree; When its branches is yet
tender, and 				      putteth forth leaves, you know that summer is
nigh: So likewise you, when 					you shall see all these things, know
that it is near, even at the doors.

[63] 	That last--that question they asked: "And what will be the sign of
the end 					of the world?" When you see these Jews... When you see
these other things 				taking place, you know what takes place. Now,
when you see those Jews... 					Talking to Jews... (See, Christ is
talking to Jews about Jews) Now, watch. 					(You know, Bro. Branham can
sure upset you the way he goes back and forth 				you know, but let's
just keep reading.) What company is He talking to? Gentiles? 				Jews,
Jews. See? Now, He said, "You'd be hated of all nations for My Name," 		
	and so forth... Now, when He said... when you see these Jews begin to
put forth 				their buds over yonder, when that Israel begins to turn
back, getting into her 				country, when she gets there, the Church is
ready to rapture, and there's only 				three and a half years left unto
the end of the old world, (well, the world) and 				she goes out into
chaos, and in comes the millennium to the new earth.

	Now, not the earth the dissolves. Just a new earth renewed is what he
means. Renewed earth, because I discussed that with him. I said, "Bro.
Branham, does the whole earth get renewed?"

56.	He said, "Lee, I don't know, at least a part will." That's why I
think you heard him say, "Just give me a place up in Canada way up
north, and you hear…little old cabin you hear a rusty voice singing
'Amazing Grace', you say 'Bro. Branham's made it'."  Well, I've got news
for him and he knows already he's got a mansion in glory. 

[64] 	Now, one thousand years on earth is only one day with God. And
three and 				one half years, what would it go to? So many seconds in
God's time. That's 				the reason He said, "It is at the door." "Verily
I say unto you that this 					generation shall not be consumed (done
away with, this people) until all 					these things are..." what? What
won't be done away with? Why they've tried 				to kill the Jew off the
earth all the time. They'll never be able to do it. But 					notice, the
very generation of Jews that seen the return back into Palestine, 			
that generation would see these things happen. And just the last two
years 					she was fully become a nation with her own money whatever.
There she is.

[65]	 Now, where are we at, friends? The Seals and everything opening
up, 					we're getting this in between here. There it is. So, where
we're sitting?                                          		I hope you get
it. I haven't got no education. And I know what I'm talking 					about,
but maybe I can't explain to make sense to you. But I hope that God 			
takes the words that's mixed up and divides them out right (See?), and
lets					 you know what it is, because we're at the door. 

57.	 Parousia, the door, the juncture. Now, what do you think I'll open
the door for? I've opened the door…out!  For you, come on, come in.
You open the door to come in. Now, you and I might kick Him out, but God
doesn't.  We're mean, despicable, but you see when you deal with grace.

		Now, but notice. See, right away now He turns to these Jews, now at
the 					end time He says what is going to take place. We know that
even…we know 				that we are well aware that the tribes are scattered.
They have been for 					twenty-five hundred years. They were prophesied
to be scattered to the four				 winds. Did you know that? We know that.
Of course, we won't have to go 					back and get--pick that, 'cause I've
got something here real important and 					I want you to see 'fore you
get too tired and I get wore out.

[66]	 Notice, we know even every tribe--that is, a tribal chronology or
whatever 				you want to call it, geology (he meant a genealogy) ... The
tribal positions 					are not no more together. They're scattered
everywhere. The Jews that are					gathering into Jerusalem are not...
Why they don't even know their tribes. 					They haven't got any more
tribal banners or anything. All they know is 					they're Jews. They
were prophesied to be that way the world over. Now, their 				books has
been destroyed. (See, no genealogy)…"What tribe are you from?"

		"I don't know."

		"What tribe..."

		"I don't know." One from Benjamin, one from this, and one from that.
They 				don't know where they're from. Their books has been destroyed
through the 				wars, and for twenty-five hundred years of it. They only
know, they're Jews. 				That's all. So, they know they're back in their
homeland. Notice, though they 				don't know their tribes, but God does.
(See?) …every hair on your head's 					numbered.  

58.  	Notice, He loses nothing. "I'll raise it up again at the last
day." Though they 				have lost their tribal banners and their-- which
one is which, and whether 					this or that... They don't know whether
they're Benjamin, or whether they're 				Reuben, or Issachar, or where
they're from. But anyway, God calls them there.

[67] 	Now, notice in Revelations 7 we read this: twelve thousand of each
tribe. Of 				the elected out of all of it, there's twelve thousand out
of each tribe that's 					elected and are set right here in order. Oh,
my. What are they? They're in 					tribal order. Yet they are not now,
but they will be. They are in tribal order. 				What will be their
tribal order? Not the regular Jew; no, but the ones that's 				elected,
the hundred and forty-four thousand will be set in tribal order. Oh, 			
my. How I would like to show you. We won't go into it, but that's
exactly what 				the Church has to be: right in order.

	Now, how is she going to get there? The Word of God tells it, and the
Word…and the God the Word does it. Can't do it otherwise.

[68] 	Now, I want you to watch real close read with me for a minute.
Here's 					something that maybe you never noticed in the tribal
calling. I told you 					awhile ago to read Revelations 7. Read with me
and watch those tribes. 					In Revelations 7 Dan and Ephraim is missing
and not numbered with them. 				Did you notice that? Joseph and Levi was
substituted in their place. You 					notice that? Dan and Ephraim is not
there. No, sir. But Joseph and Levi was 				substituted in the place of
Dan and Ephraim. Why? The ever remembering 				God remembered every
promise of His Word. (Oh, I'd like to preach on 					that.) God don't
forget nothing, though it looks like. 

59.	Since the prophet's gone does it look like the thing's folded? Sure
does. One preacher one time said, "If you want to go crazy just read too
many of Bro. Branham's sermons." Boy you can get your minds so [makes a
noise] …steams comes out your ears. You know why? Because you read to
try to figure it. If you don't see it, lay the book aside, walk on.
We're not going to figure it. Can't  do it.

 		Like He told Moses, Israel had been down there four hundred years,
they 					had to go up at that time. He told Abraham that his seed would
be sojourning 				in a strange land for four hundred years, then He'd
bring them out with a 					mighty hand. He said to Moses, "I have
remembered My promise, and I've 					come down to make good what I
said."  (Parousia) God doesn't forget. He 					doesn't forget His
curses, neither does He forget His blessings. But every 					promise
that He made, He stays with it. Here's why they were missing. 

 60.	Okay, let me hit the 'Unveiling of God'  [64-06-14]

[96] 	It's been veiled through these ages according to what God said,
and It would 				be opened in the last days; those seven seals would be
broke, and the full thing 				would come into view of the people, what's
took place all along. The hour of 				the seventh angel's message, all
the mysteries of God should be made known 				in that Elijah, in this
last hour: how that Christ is put out of His church the 				Son of God;
how He's revealed as Son of man again; how that the church is 				put in
order, and everything for the last day, no creed, no denominations, 				
just absolutely the Word living in the individual. 

	Now, you and I aren't going to do that. No way. Not even Jesus could
make God come down and indwell Him in His fullness if God had wanted
somebody else. John the Baptist couldn't get it, he was a fine person.
And he had a wonderful birth too, because his father and mother were
really past age. But He couldn't do it for John, it was only for the
Election. Now listen:

		"I'll take one and leave one. (I'll, he said) I'll take this one and
leave that one." 				See? There's no strings, (why did he say, "no
strings?" You can't pull any 					strings) no denominations, no bindings
or nothing; it's the heart with God 					and Him alone. 

61.	 God doing it. You're not going to get it done by yourself.  (Page
555) It takes a long time to read these things. Beginning at number 7,
at the bottom.   [The Seventh Seal 63-03-24]

[78]  	Now, we'll turn now to the 8th verse of the 1st verse, I mean,
of the 8th 					chapter, of Revelations 8:1. (I know you're tired. Now,
just try to listen 					just for a few minutes now. And God of heaven
help us, that's my prayer.)					We must remember that this Seventh Seal
is the end of time of all things.  					(Uh? That's what it says over
here, the Parousia.)

		That's right. The things written in the Seven Seal Book (sealed up of
the 					plan of redemption from before the foundation of the world),
every bit ends. 				It is the end; it is the end of the struggling
world. It's the end of struggling 					nature. It's the end of
everything. It's the end of the trumpets. It's the end of 				the vials.
It's the end of the earth. It's even the end of time. Time runs out; 			
	the Bible said so.

		Matthew the 7th chapter--I mean Revelations 10:1 to the 7. Time runs
out. 				The angel said, "Time will be no more," when that--in the days
of this great 				thing to happen. Everything runs out in this time, the
end of the end of the 					Seventh Seal. 

 62.   [Now:]

 [79] 	Notice, it's the end of the church age. It's the end of the Seven
Seals. It's 					the end of the trumpets. It's the end of the vials,
even ends the ushering in 					of the millennium… 

 	Didn't I tell you about the Millennium of Christ this morning? (Uh?) I
wasn't lying to you. Where do you think He is in the Millennium?  "Oh,
He's back there in the woods somewhere. Oh, He's up in Heaven."  He is
not, He's right here in earth. First Resurrection. I put it down, time
runs out. It's the end of the Church Age. Ushers in the Millennium.

		…that's on the Seventh Seal. (Now listen:) It's just like firing a
rocket 					into the air, 

	Now when did the Seventh Seal open? The mighty said that…he said the
Seventh Spirits of God…now they weren't Luther and Martin and those
really before the throne. That was the men down here in whom the Spirit
was. The Seven Spirits of the Seven Ages, that portion. See, that's
true. But when they all came down It was the Spirit of God in angels.
They had wings, men don't have wings. They came down in creature forms,
or forms that God created. Not theophanies, although that could be the
term. Just as good as theophany, because if it is God, then it's a
theophany.

	Came down seven, and fully revealed Christ, fully revealed the Word,
even called Christ the Seals. The fullness of the Spirit of God. In one
place he called them messengers, another place It the Holy Spirit. Which
It was, was both.  

63.	Now,  

		…just like a rocket…and that rocket explodes here, and it goes up,
then it 					explodes again. It puts out five stars. One of those stars
explodes and blows 				out five stars from it; and then one of them
stars explodes, blows out five stars 				from it and it fades on out. 

   	Now listen, that's not the Seventh Church Ages, he said the same
thing about them, Roman candle. Out of the Ages comes the Seals. Out of
the Seals come the Trumpets. Out of the Trumpets comes the vials. Out of
the vials comes the plagues. He's not talking that. He's talking about
the Seventh Seal, about the Seventh Seal there. Not about Seventh Seal,
but 'the Seventh Seal'. (See?) 

		That's what the Seventh Seal; it just ends the time for the world. It
ends 					the time for this. It means the time for that. It ends the
time for this. It 					ends the time... Everything just ended up on that
Seventh Seal.

[80] 	Now, how is He going to do it? That's what we don't know, isn't
it? 

	And how do you think you're going to figure it out and make it work?
New York's got all the answers they tell me. I'd like to hear them to
answer this. I got a prophet says you don't have the answer. New York's
messenger said, "He brought brotherly kindness." I thought the prophet
of God, William Branham, brought brotherly kindness. He said his church
had love. It thought God Himself was love. See, we don't agree at all
with what he preaches. I ain't about too either, I don't agree with
anybody if I don't have to. You don't have to agree with me. If Bro.
Palberg says different, you follow him, he's your pastor, I'm not. I'm
not looking for people to agree. I just get up here and preach and go
home. Thank you for offering, the Lord bless you. You're good and kind,
even much more than you should be, but I appreciate it. You do me more
good than I do you. But so, that's the way the cookie crumbles. And I
thank you. Nobody has to agree with me. See, it ends it all. 

  		…how is He going to do it? That's what we don't know, isn't it? We
don't 					know. It's even the time for all these things, and the
ushering in of the 					millennium. Notice, the breaking of this Seal
was so great that heaven was 				hushed by it in silence for the space
of a half hour. Now, is it great? What 					is it? What was hushed:
heaven. There wasn't a thing moved for a half hour.

		Now, a half hour might not (you know, seem like a long thing when)
you're 				having a good time, but in the suspense of between death and
life, it seemed 				like a millennium. It was so great, Jesus never
mentioned it: none of the rest 				of them. John couldn't even write it.
No, he was forbidden to write here. So 				 there's just... He just
didn't write it, but…silence.

64.  But, he said, "The Seventh Seal was doing all of this ushering in
the Millennium ending of time." Now, he's talking about a separate
phase.

[81]	 And the four and twenty elders that stood before God there harping
with 					their harps, they quit playing their harps. The Angels hushed
their singing 					in heaven. Think, the holy Cherubims and Seraphims,
Isaiah saw it in the 					temple with six sets... or three sets of
wings, two over his face and two over 				his feet, flying…day and
night before God, saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord 					God Almighty."
Even when they walked in, come into the temple, the posts 					of the
temple moved with their presence. …these holy Seraphims hushed up. 			
Angels quit singing. (Whew.) Flying in the Presence of God, singing,
"Holy, 				holy..." they shut up. No angels singing, no praises, no
altar service, no 					nothing. There was silence, hush, deadly silence
in heaven for half an hour. 				All the host of heaven was silent for
this half hour, when this Seventh Seal 					mystery in the Book of
Redemption was broken Think of it; but He broke. 					The Lamb breaks
it. You know what? They were awed by it, I believe. They 				didn't
know. There it was; they just stopped. Why? What is it?

65.  Now:

[82] 	…none of us know; I'm going to tell you in my my
revelation…(now, he 					already told you over here this what the
Seventh Seal was like. Now he's 					going to talk about a phase.)  I'm
going to tell you my revelation I am not 					prone to be a fanatic. If
I am, I'm ignorant of it. I'm not given to delirious 					carry-on,
imaginary things. I've said some things that might have sound 					of
strange to some people, but when God comes around behind it and 				
vindicates it and says it's the Truth, then that's God's Word. It may
seem 					strange that way. But now, as certain as I stand in the
platform tonight, I 					had the revelation that revealed... It's in a
threefold manner. I will speak 					to you by the help of God to unfold
it.  And then you... Let's go over there 					first. Here's the
revelation... well, I want to tell you what it is. What happens 				is
that those seven thunders that he heard thunder and was forbidden to 			
	write, that's what the mystery is laying behind those seven consecutive
					thunders rolling out.

	Now, you thought right away he's going to say it's the actual Coming of
Jesus physically. That comes later on. This he said, now right off the
bat, he said, "Part of it is those seven thunders rolling out."

[83] 	Now, why? Let us prove it. Why? It is the secret that no one knows
about. 					John was forbidding to write about it, even, even write a
symbol about it. 					Why? This is why there was no active in--activity
in heaven; it might give 					away the secret. Do you see it now? If
it's so great it must be included, 					because it's got to happen, but
when the seven thunders...Now, notice, 					the seven angels came forth
to sound their trumpets, there was one thunder. 				(That's a good
thought) When Israel was gathered, there was a trumpet. 					When time
shall be no more, the last trumpet... One thunder, but here is 				
seven straight thunders right in a row: … 

66.  Now,

		If Satan should get a hold of it, he might do great damage. There's
one thing 				he don't know. Now, he can interpret anything he wants to,
and impersonate 				any kind of a gift (I hope you're learning.), but he
can't know this. It's not even 				written in the Word. It's a total
secret. The Angels, everything shut up. If they 				made one move it
could give something away, so they just shut up, quit harping; 			
everything stopped.  

[84] 	Seven, God's perfect number, (of course that means 'conclusion'.)
… just right 				down the row. Seven thunders uttered straight
together like they're spelling 				out something. Notice, at that time,
John started to write, He said, "Don't 					write it." Jesus never spoke
of it. John couldn't write it. Angels know nothing 				about it. What
was it? It's the thing that Jesus said even the Angels of heaven 			
didn't know about it. See? He didn't know it Himself, He said only God
would				 know it, but He told us when we begin to see these signs
coming up... (Now, 				you getting somewhere?) Notice, we begin to see
these signs coming up. If 					Satan could get a hold of it...

 [85] 	If you want something to happen... Now, you'll have to take my
word for this.				If I'm planning on doing something, I know better than
to tell anybody about 				it. Not that that person will tell it, but
Satan will hear it. He can't get it in my 				heart there, as long as
God's got it closed up with the Holy Spirit, so that's 				between me
and God. See? He (doesn’t) know nothing about it until you speak it, 	
		then he hears it.  And I'll try... I'll people I'll do a certain,
certain thing, and 				watch the devil cut off every wheel he can to get
there (See?), he can beat me 				to it. But if I can get the revelation
from God and just don't say nothing about 				it, then it's different.

		Remember, Satan will try to impersonate. He will try to impersonate
everything 				that the Church will do. He's tried to do it. We've
noticed it through the antichrist; 			but this is one thing he cannot
impersonate. There'll be no mimics to this (See?), 				'cause he don't
know it. There's no way for him to know it. It's the third pull. 				He
just knows nothing about it.  He doesn't understand it.

 	Didn't say Second Coming even then. Now, what are you going to do
about it? If you can't figure the Third Pull, you don't know a thing
about It, which I read in Scripture here. God is bringing everything
under Divine order, and you haven't got a thing to do with it, how are
you going to know?
