Resurrection Message

‘God is Reaping’

Bro. Lee Vayle   -   April 3, 1994

	Shall we just bow our heads in prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank you
for this marvelous opportunity we have today, remembering Your
resurrection not only on the first day of the week, but actually
commemorating the very day in which You rose, though we do not know what
day and what hour, yet we are here commemorating it and actually
celebrating it. Now we pray Lord as we go to the study of Your Word
You’ll help us to the very, very clear, help us Lord especially now,
me and myself in this hour to be fully consecrated to and able to
consecrate fully upon the Word. Not only as to what I desire to bring
forth at this particular time, but also may there be the proper
atmosphere, the proper spirit concerning it so that we may know these
things Lord, that we have set before us this morning in Your Word and
we’ll give you praise in Jesus’ Name, Amen. You may be seated.

1.	Now, we’re going to have a dedication of the church after this
Easter Message, so we’ll try not to take too much time in the actual
message, although I have quite a bit of Scripture to read, and the
message is going to be kind of one that goes in convolutions, which
means you have to listen carefully and I have to help you as much as I
can in order to arrive at the place where I wish to bring us concerning
this very hour.

2.	So, we’re going to beginning to read in Rev 2:18-29.

		(18)	And unto the angel (or the messenger) of the church (which is) in
                  				Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God,
who hath his eyes                      				like unto a flame of fire,
and his feet (as) fine brass; (There again, you 					see the Judge, all
through the Seven Ages.)

		(19)	I know thy works, and (love), and service, and faith, and (your) 
					patience, and (your) works; and the last to be more than the first.

	Now of course, your patience comes by tribulation working according to
the Word of God. And these people evidently had works, which were not
truly from the Word of God itself, and therefore, they had a patience
which was fine to begin with as it was with the Word, but then you’ll
notice now there’s a separation that He knows the works; and so if
therefore the works of patience and the works of works would be
consequently be two different things, and He said the last to be more
then the first. 

	So now they are into works program, which is not according to the Word
of Almighty God, and therefore is not bringing forth the patients of
Christ if in the Church. And here’s where we start the tragic
discipline which is not of God within church members, which brings us to
a very erratic disposition, hasty attitudes, impatiens, and cannot wait,
because here is where the seeds were sown; and they now come to the age
of the omega which is this hour. That’s why people are so scattered,
scattered brains, scattered in what they’re doing, so impatient, so
upset, so angry, and so willful. You understand what I’m saying?
Always follow your principles of Alpha and Omega.

3.	Now He says,

		(20)	Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou 		
			sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, 			
		to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication…and 					
to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

		(21)	And I gave her space to repent of here fornication, and she
repented 					not. 					   

		(22)	Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery
						with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their
deeds.

		(23)	And I will kill her children with death; (Now you know children 	
				signifies progressive generations.) and all the churches shall know 
					that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give 
					unto every one of you according to works.

		(24)	But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as
have 						not the doctrine, and which have not known the depths of
Satan, as 					they speak; (I’ll) put upon you none other burden.

		(25)	But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

		(26)	And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end…					
(Not the Church Age, and that church age, but the end of all 					
ages.) to him will I give power over the nations:

		(27)	And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a
potter 						shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my
Father.

		(28)	And I will give him the morning star.

		(29)	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the 
					churches.

4.	Now, 20-23, 25-26 of the verses, we’re looking at this particular
moment. 

		(20)	Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou 		
			sufferest that woman Jezebel, which (calls) herself a prophetess, 			
		to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication… to 					
eat things sacrificed unto idols.

		(21)	And I gave her space to repent of here fornication; and she did 	
				(not repent.)

	So therefore, there’s a great problem here, and there’s a judgment,

		(23)	And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches
shall 						know that I am he which searcheth the reins and (the)
hearts: and 						I will give unto every one of you according to (his)
works.

	And then, we just keep on 25-26,

		(25)	But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

		(26)	And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end,						
to him will I give power over the nations:

	Now, what we have seen here is an idolatrous, adulteress church system
in its inception, its growth, and proliferation to encompass the entire
world and its end in the last Church Age, age number seven, wherein the
entire prostitute system goes into the great Tribulation, and hence into
the Lake of Fire or second death. And having finally…(goes to the Lake
of Fire, second death,) having been finally destroyed by the Lamb and
the Bride.

	And you see that in verse 27,

		(27)	And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a
potter 						shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my
Father.                            				(And Bro. Branham equated that to
the ruling and reigning with a 						rod of iron is coming back.) 

5.	In the Book of Revelation chapter 19, where Christ Appears with the
Bride:

		(11)	And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that
sat 					upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he
doth 					judge and make war.

		(12)	(And) his eyes were as a flame of fire… (The Judge. And notice,
the 					Judge has now turned to the position of the role of the
complete King.) 					and on His head were many crowns; and he had a name
written, that 					no man knew, but he himself.

		(13)	And he was clothed with a (vessel) dipped in blood: and his name
is 					called The Word of God.

	There again, you see the complete Logos the manifestation of Almighty
God. For at that time we know that this is after the Wedding Supper,
wherein that Spirit that’s in our midst has been crowned, because
He’s become incarnate again to us in the body of That One the Lamb,
and He is the Son of God, the Son of David, the Son of Man, and so on.

		(14)	And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white 					
horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

		(15)	And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword that with it he should 	
				mithe the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: (and 	
				you notice,) he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath 	
				of Almighty God.

		(16)	And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King 
					of kings, and Lord of lords.

6.	Now, we notice here in Rev 2:21-23, which we’ve read two times
already. There is a prophesy that I myself interpreted, and that means
that I had my understanding of this taken upon of what Bro. Branham
said, “That I would not go along with other people who interpret the
Bible.” But, that means, I perhaps do not agree with some people, but
I say, I do not believe that the part where it says, “And all churches
shall know that I am He that searches the reigns and the hearts is at
the great White Throne.”

	Now, I do not believe it is at the great White Throne, though there
could be, perhaps an omega of it. But my understanding is that this
wherein He says, “To all the churches He searches the reigns and the
heart,” is even previous to the great Tribulation. That means, it’s
a part of the last or Seven Church Age, because this whole prophesy
deals with repentance. And repentance is a word that certainly sets
forth and opportunity to change one’s mind, and go on the right side.
So, there is no opportunity here for repentance. 

	Now, if you notice the great Tribulation, you’ll find in chapter 16,
verses 10-1,

		(10)	…They gnawed their tongues (in) pain, 

		(11)	And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their
					sores, and repented not...

	You understand there, for what I’m saying? There’s no repentance in
the great Tribulation. The repentance is on this side, and actually
ceases before the Seventh Church Age closes. 

7.	Now, in Rev 20:12, you’ll find there is a judgment out of the Books
wherein all things are written, and there’s not one thing said of
repentance only judgment. So therefore, if they could repent which they
cannot and have no desire to, because there’s nothing in them to
repent. They have their own mind-set, they have their own choices from
their own soul, and they are completely adverse to anything from God
wherein they would desire to change their mind, and their ways, and so
therefore, judgment has set in. And you can tell today from the criminal
minds that are in society that this is the one era in which criminality
is absolutely supreme. And God has no relevancy whatsoever to people.
They do not understand…the test was taken in Ohio, and perhaps
you’ve got a tape where I told about it, how the people were asked,
especially young people, “Is there any relevancy concerning God and
the young people?” And they said, “None whatever, because out there
in the street is murder and crime, we don’t know what’s going to
happen, everything evil is happening.” And they don’t understand
that putting God out of the way and everything God has said and desires
to do have been put from them, and so they say, “God has no
relevancy.”

	How can anyone when there’s no prayer in the schools and no anything
else? You get rid of God you’ve got rid of every moral source there
is. And so therefore, there is no relevancy, and there is no repentance
if even if they could repent, there is no repentance at that particular
time which is at the White Throne. 

8.	Thus to me we are seeing in Rev 2:23, which we have read. The time of
repentance they wouldn’t and therefore there is none. Wherein the
searching and discerning of the heart, is in  and during, actually the
final Church Age which is number seven, and is explained to us in
Revelation and we saw manifested, if you didn’t see it, it on actually
an audio cassette, where you will see that Heb 4:12, with the context of
9-16, has come in full view in our hour. “There remaineth therefore
rest to the people of God.” The Bible says it. 

	Now, this in concerning the fact that Israel missed what we would call
a type of the Millennium, which is barely a type. Actually an example
it’s a suggestion, that’s all you could say about it, because it’s
not the Millennium. But it’s a type in the sense there was a people
entering into it under the Word of the Living God. [End of side one]
…and with God has set aside, now you can understand right now this is
why we have the Word revealed to us, the full Word its context is
understanding, because we’re going to a Millennium under the Word,
under our King, under a temple government wherein there is a further
sanctification. You follow me? Now, if you’ve heard the tapes you
understand enough to know what we’re talking about, everything I’ve
got from Bro. Branham. 

9.	[Hebrews 4:]

		(10)	For he that has entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from
his 						own works, as God did from his.

		(11)	Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest…

	And the labor is what? The labor is coming under the discipline of
faith in the Word of God. ‘Live, die, sink or swim’, that’s a land
we’re going to and we don’t care if we look like grasshoppers and
they’re giants, forget it, we’re going in, live, die, sink, swim.
Now if you haven’t come to that place, and I haven’t come, we are
going to have to get there before we get out of here. All right.

		(11)	Let us labour… 

	And Bro. Branham said, “The cares of this world, (the same thing that
Jesus said,) would stop the Bride from enjoying and getting the full
benefit of the Word.” As I believe with all my heart, that Bro.
Branham told Bro. Neville two or three times that he was fearful that
the Bride would walk in the wilderness for forty years before She came
to Her senses. Praise God, we’ve gone through thirty. Yeah, not bad,
ten to go.

		(11)	Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest…(of belief and 
					faith,) lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 

		(12)	 For the word of God is quick, and powerful…(and you better 			
		believe it,) and sharper than any twoedged sword…(proving the 					
thesis that goes, that gone ahead of this,) piercing even to the 					
dividing asunder of soul and spirit, (even) of the joints and marrow,			
	 and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (See?)

	Now, you can mouth off all we want believe, we can be preachers or
putting new patches on old garments. We can preach for conscious sake,
we can do a million things, but it’s been proven as Bro. Branham stood
before five thousand people, it could of been fifteen million people and
he said, “You couldn’t hide if you tried.” And he could discern
every heart and every person, even to his name and even to his motives,
and what he’s standing there for. 

10.	Now we say the example here, as a fellow said, what was it? Mohammad
Ali he said, “You can run, but you can’t hide.” [Actually said by
Joe Louis] And so, there’s an understanding here, there is nothing
hidden at this moment, but all things are in plain view, not even
concerning the heart of man, and the heart of the world, but the heart
of Almighty God, and what God has prepared for those that love Him and
how far we are into the Word of God at this moment. See? What has been
done to us, for us, concerning prophesy. Discern the thoughts and
intents of his heart, and if you’d of sat there the moment, the three
minutes or whatever it was, when I was kidding Bro. Branham in Tucson in
about 1965, I made a little funny stupid remark, and he thought I meant
it. He looked a hole in me that you could not believe, and you would
know what I’m talking about, because you stood there, sat there, and
you looked at him knowing he read every fiber of your being. When he saw
that my foolish little remark was merely kidding and teasing him he
relaxed, and never said one word. I never said one word either.

	Every mouth will be dumb at that day, even as my mouth was dumb. And at
the same time every tongue will be loosed, contrary to their own wills
to admit that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God. The sharp two
edge sword going both ways; shut the mouth and open the mouth.

11.	All right,

		(13)	Neither is there any creature (no part of creation) that is not
manifest 					in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the
eyes of him 					with whom we have to do. (And this verse of Scripture
is set according 					to the Old Testament where they would not go in.)

	Now, God is telling you and me in this last hour and the visitation to
the Gentiles, that this discernment in the prophet shows us that
absolutely we are now in the place at the end of the age of going into
the Millennium. And you cannot deny it, because that is that is
absolutely ‘Thus Saith the Lord’ as we saw it come from the
Scripture.

12.	Now, this is the time of Rev 3:14-23 which is the Laodicean age. And
remember the Laodicean age in part runs exactly parallel to Rev 10:1-7,
where God Himself comes down with the rainbow over His head, and you
will notice that He is that great Judge. Entering more and more into the
role of the Judge, and there we find the prophet and there we find the
Seals and the Thunders made available to us.

Now, I want you to look at this particular Scripture in the Book of
Revelation again, to get you an understanding of where we stand on the
alpha and omega situation. And in chapter 2:2, He said,

		(2)	I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience…

	Now they’re right with the Word. Everything is Word oriented,
everything coming out of the Word, because the Word of Life is flowing.

		(2)	…and how thou canst not bear them which are evil…

	Now who are those that are evil? They are they that are worshipping God
outside the revealed Word of God. As Bro. Branham said, “You can
neither worship or serve God apart from a prophet.” Now these has
been…they now have false prophets and false apostles. At this time it
does not say, they are false prophets nor neither does Peter say
they’re false prophets, he says, “As there were false prophets,
they’re false teachers.” But at this time you’ll notice that these
are false prophets are amongst the people.

		(2)	…and thou has tried them which say they are apostles and are
not…					(Now, if they’re not apostles and they say they are,
they’re false 						apostles.) and (thou) hast found them liars:

13.	Now…Bro. Branham said, these people were challenged in the days of
the Ephesian Church, the disciples of Paul, through the vindicated
gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. And they came to those men and said,
“You guys are false.” Well that went over like a lead balloon. 

	And they said, “What do you mean we’re false?” 

	He said, “You’re not saying what Paul said.” See?

	Now look at this, this is the alpha. All right, this being the alpha
what are we looking at in the omega? We’re looking at in the omega
where the Omega Church which is Laodicean  Church, the church of the
harvest of the ripening is a hundred percent contrary to the Word of
Almighty God.

	And He says here: [Revelation 3:]

		(15)	I know (your) works, that…neither (hot or cold, I wert you hot
or 						cold.) 

		(16)	…Because thour art lukewarm, and neither (hot or cold) I will
spue 					(you) out of my mouth. 

	Now there’s no place where God has any of His children in His mouth.
But the church of necessity is the witness to the Word of God, and
therefore, is a mouth piece of God, providing they speak according to
the original mouth piece of God which was the prophet, and which is the
prophet.

14.	Now, these people have come to the place where God says, “You
don’t even speak for Me, you haven’t got a word concerning Me.
You’re retched , miserable, naked, blind and haven’t got a clue.”
And remember the Bride is supposed to be washed in the Water of the
Word, and vested in that garment of the Word. And she hasn’t got It.
She’s a complete prostitute, she’s completely defiled, and she’s
got nothing to say for God, or from God, and God says, “No longer.”
But God’s got to have a mouth piece, He’s got to have somebody speak
for Him. 

	So, what does He do? He comes down Himself at the end of the age. And
He becomes His Own Prophet through a man that is thoroughly dedicated;
because of the particular birth and the nature of His…what would you
call it? Forming in the womb to come forth to see that particular man.
As Bro. Branham even told it, and told the scientist, the doctors that
his conscious and subconscious were so close together, he could blip in
an out of a vision and a trance. I saw him do it on different occasions.
In and out just like a shot. Give you perfect answer every single time,
lay it all on the line and tell you. 

	The man had these qualifications, so at this end-time, and this
particular condition which arises from the fact of the false apostle,
teaching a false doctrine going to a women system which is the church
itself becoming its own prophet absolutely. The church is still its own
prophet till the end-time, there is nothing left but a complete
destruction.

15.	Now, let’s begin to see what the omega is according to the Life in
the Bride Tree that was almost extinct lying there in the grave, but
begins to come back. And you’re going to find the same holds good.

 	So we go to the 2 Thessalonians 1: and in there you read:

		(7)	And you (that) are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus 				
	shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty (messengers.)

		(8)	In flaming fire taking vengeance…

	Now you know, when every time you speak of Fire, there’s a certain
period that that Fire can come and only at a certain period. It’s the
same time that Fire comes at the time of Elijah. And that is a period of
time, but the Fire will finally destroy. And that Fire is an Avenging
Fire, that actually sets the tenor for the White Throne, because
there’s “neither root nor branch left.”    [Mal 4:1] 

	Now in other words, the serpent seed is going to be entirely destroyed

		(8)	In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, 					
and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

	Now remember, Paul said, “God is going to judge the world by one
Christ Jesus, according to his gospel.” He said, “According to my
gospel.” You understand that to be the truth. So therefore, the gospel
of Jesus Christ is the gospel of Paul, because Paul said, “I never got
It from myself, I never got It from man, I got It from Jesus Christ
Himself. Okay.

		(9)	Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the
presence 					of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

16.	Now listen, if this is going to take place He’s got to be Present.
Huh? Well, it says right here, “Everlasting destruction  from the
Presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power.” You mean to
tell me there’s a glory of His power down there at the White Throne?
Only in so far as Pharaoh was raised up to be destroyed. You’re
talking now about Christ the glory of God. You’re talking about grace
and the goodness of Almighty God. That does not extend to the White
Throne; that’s been cut off, because repentance is gone, baptism is a
fraud, and the Holy Ghost baptism is only anointing. That’s a pretty
rough chaotic condition we’re looking at here.

	It says,		

		(10)	When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be
admired 						in all them that believe because our testimony among you
(in this 						day is) believed.

	So, there is an omega to the original alpha where Paul said, “You
people had the Word and you knew you had the Word and anybody coming in
with a false understanding the Word, (you said,) you’re false get away
from me. You’re evil, …?... I don’t belong to you, you don’t
belong to me.”

	Now He said, “At the end-time there’s going to be a separation the
same as was a separation back there.” But that was a minimal
separation, but this separation is worldwide, that started back there,
this ends it over here. This is your Rev 10:1-7. Because if there’s a
prophet in alpha, there’s got to be a prophet in omega, because He
said, “I am alpha and omega and I do not change.” Now that’s the
greatest principle that Bro. Branham laid down. And if you’re ever
going to get guided by the Word of God that is the principle you are
going to go by. So all right, now just file all these things away in
your mind. 

	(Now to turn the wheels, take a swallow and put it back in your head
somewhere, because we’re going to leave that.)  Heather, perhaps not
necessary to leave this in.

17.	We’re going to proceed then to Mt 25:14-30, which we will not
read, until we note that chapter 25 follows chapter 24. Right? Simple as
ABC.

	Now, there are certain statements in chapter 24 that I want to bring to
your attention, because chapter 24 precedes chapter 25 and therefore,
these statements lay the basis for other things which we will see and
deal with in chapter 25:14-30. 

	Number one, in chapter 24, we find the ‘Anointed Ones at the End
Time’. And the anointed ones at the end-time are there at the time of
the Presence of which the disciples asked, “When will we know your
Presence, when will You make Yourself manifest that You are the King of
Israel? Now, many people what to use that word ‘coming’ instead of
‘presence’, and they completely deny the reality of the truth that
the disciples didn’t understand the first coming, had no knowledge of
His death, His resurrection and His Second Coming. So how are they going
to talk about a Presence? In the sense that they knew somehow intuitaly
that He was going to die, rise again, go back and come back here. It’s
utterly stupid and illogic. There is no preacher, there is no student
the Bible worth his salt, that would dare to try to tell you and me in
the face of the Living Word of God, that those apostles understood
anything, but the fact here was that great One they believed Messiah,
“When are You going to declare Yourself, (as the Pharisees said,) and
come here and put these guys on the spot and show us that You are the
One.” Why? Because even in the Resurrection they didn’t believe, and
just before He ascended they said, “Are You going to give us the
Kingdom now?” You follow what I’m saying? Is this hour of His
Presence that people reject. So therefore, they don’t have a clue to
Rev 10:1-7. And if they can’t respect the great God of Heaven Himself
came down here as Bro. Branham said, “When Adam and Eve His son and
daughter sinned in the Garden of Eden, He never sent another person,
another messenger, and Archangel, an Angel, He Himself came down, so
today.” And that was Elohim. The Jehovah complex titles were not known
or revealed at that time.

18.	So all right, we have the anointed, we have the ‘Anointed Ones’
at the time of the Presence, and the time of the Presence and the
Anointed Ones are absolutely at the end-time. So we just make a little
note of this before we actually study and read it, but in Mt 25:30, it
says,

		(30)	…cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: (and)
there 						shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

	Now, Bro. Branham equated this and he said, “This was the great
Tribulation.” And you’ll notice, “They’re cast into outer
darkness at the end.” Why are they cast into outer darkness? Because
of their inner darkness. Right? Light goes into light, and darkness goes
into darkness. 

And the darkness of the great Tribulation is: They cannot repent, they
gnaw their tongues in pain and they curse God at that very minute, and
they say, ‘Save us from the wrath of the Lamb’, they know it is
coming, but there is nothing there but willful angry disobedience
against It. They cannot change their mind, because their minds are
solidified. Completely taken over by the devil, brute beasts, not just
beast but ‘brute beasts’. The outer darkness then is the result of
the inner darkness. 

	And you’ll notice in Rev 3:17, it says,

		(17)	Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and
have 					need of nothing; and knowest not that thou are wretched, and
miserable, 					and poor, and blind, and naked:

	And then go over here to the Book of Matthew, the same Book, chapter 6:
and listen while we read verse 23.

		(23)	…if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
darkness. If 						therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how
great is that 						darkness!	

		(24)	No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,
and 						love the other; or else he will hold the one, and despise the
other, 		  				(You) cannot serve God and mammon.

	This is at the end-time when total darkness comes upon the world,
because the whole church, the whole church world, and remember the world
will have to take in everything that’s called the church. You say why?
Let me give you an illustration. The Bible speaks of kings. How many
kings are there? “The word dictator is the same as a king.” Bro.
Branham told us that flat.

19.	 All right then, if we’re looking at churches, what does it matter
if it’s the mosque of Omar, or mosque of this or temple or something
else there? You’re looking at religion, is what you’re looking at.
And it tells you right here in this Book of Matthew the 6th chapter,

		(23)	…if thine eye be evil…(you’re) full of darkness…

	And it says here,	

		(24)	…(You) cannot serve God and mammon.

	Now Bro. Branham specifically told us, “On the way to the Millennium
the golden calf scheme rose up,” so today with the golden calf scheme.
Now, I want to ask you a question, who was it that betrayed Jesus? The
one that held the bag. What was the bag full of? Gold! Now, who’s got
the gold? Rome has got the gold. Who’s going to betray God? The whore
system under Rome, because they’ve got the gold. And you cannot serve
God and mammon. And therefore, because the world system of churches
…?... synagogue, you call it a mosque, you call it whatever you want,
it is all in there, because the showdown took place in America, and took
place in India, and it took place in Africa. 

	And a question came up, “Then Bro. Branham if this is true, (a man
said,) how come it’s not known around the world?”

	He said, “Because your leaders suppressed it.” 

20.	Blind, leaders of the blind, you’re beginning to get the picture.
Listen, get the picture this morning, because blind leaders of the
blind, and they got them in their hands and they’re taking and whip
them and they’re falling into the ditch. Why I know you sit here and
think this in an individual thing. You’re entirely wrong, it’s no
longer individual. Bro. Branham said in 1955, “Those stars and …?...
will bring forth a new born Bride.” You’re in a group this morning,
you’re either going to go together, or you’re going to go …?... to
hell.

	This is a church, there’s never been a church like this, except for
the first age. Return to the truth whether they know who is evil and who
isn’t. Who walks the line? People come in and test the preacher,
“Well, I come to test you out.” Well if you haven’t got any faith
in your preacher, get rid of him, go someplace else. You’re in this
together; this is your building you’re in it together. I’m not
saying the whole bunch going to go to Heaven together, I might not make
it myself. Well I’ve come to the place like Bro. Branham, he said,
“He loved them enough, if He threw him into hell, he’d love them
still.” I don’t, I haven’t got that testimony, but if I go to
hell, I’d say, “Your Word’s right,” can’t fuss, can’t deny
truth, you see? 

21.	All right. The golden calf system repeats. Now Matthew 24: also
reveals the original Light that was in the East, and arose in the East
proving the Resurrection, coming forth in the gospel of the apostle Paul
thoroughly vindicated, is now in the West. As Bro. Branham said, “Just
think, how wonderful the same Pillar of Fire that brought the Word to
Paul, is Here revealing It.”

	Matthew 24, speaks of the vindicating days of the Son of Man. Proving
that Christ is risen and that He is here having risen from among the
dead, fully fulfilling Isaiah chapter 42, (We read that on Friday
night.) which is set forth in Matthew the 12th chapter, and thereby
proving and making Him alive according to Hebrews, which we read now,
verses 12-13. 

	So, here we have the prophesy concerning Jesus going to the Gentiles,
and leading them into victory, pass judgment. He never did that to
Israel. It was only reserved for this last age, when He did not raise
His Voice in the street. He did not have altercations with people. Said
the bruise reed He doesn’t break, the smoking flax He doesn’t
quench. Neither does His voice rise in the street.  I can tell you flat
that His Voice, He cried in the street, He had altercations with people.
He was right there in a human form of flesh, He was that One who died
and gave His Blood that we may have the sanctity of that Light that was
within that Blood.

	But at the end-time he’s not in the streets calling, he’s not
fighting with anybody, he’s not breaking the bruised reed, he’s not
quenching the smoking flax. He’s bringing a Bride which was abject
with only the little life in the root, right back to that Tree that God
planted the taking up into Heaven, planning in the New Jerusalem in the
future. In the mean time giving further sanctification in the
Millennium. All right, this we see by those Scripture.

22.	Now, Mt 24:42-51, which we are going to look at, actually screams
out a despite warning. That those who see the days of the Son of Man and
evidently recognize them are in great danger of the great Tribulation
for smiting, and trying to destroy the faithful witnesses who gives
spiritual meat in due season. And Bro. Branham categorically summed up
his Messages, almost thousand or so on tape, and he said, “That was
the meat in due season the spiritual food.” Even had a revelation
concerning the fact of those tapes laid up, the fresh vegetables and all
of those things laid up through the Tabernacle in Jeffersonville, and
the places he had to preach that Word.

	Now, those faithful ones, giving meat in due season are absolutely not
recognized by those who would fight the Message, and the fighting of the
Message is certainly I believe amongst those who preach for conscious
sake attempting to put a new patch on an old garment, and cannot stand
the fact, that we whose minds have been renewed by the Word of God, have
rejected every one of our doctrines not matter what we thought. Everyone
of our pretty ideas, no matter what we thought, no matter how many
prayers we’ve had answered, no matter of how many gifts we’ve had
operating, how we could prove to anybody we were somebody from
somewhere, we gave it all to one …?... as the apostle Paul did, and
called it dung in case we rose up against the vindicated truth.

	I have no new patch on an old garment as far as I’m concerned, if I
have may God help me, because you can’t go in contaminated. And
contaminate is started in rebellion against the Word of Almighty God.

23.	All right, in chapter 25, we then see the separation of the Wise and
foolish virgins, which we do. That’s part of the 25th chapter. The
Wise go into the Marriage Supper, and the foolish go into the great
Tribulation in death, but not the second death. They go to the White
Throne and there they are granted Eternal Life. In other words, this was
the seed that evidently got saved and didn’t have the baptism of the
Holy Ghost, and therefore did not constitute Bride, but will constitute
attendance upon the Bride.

	And finally we come to where I want to bring you in Matthew 25: wherein
we read verses 14-30. And here’s where you go to be very, very
careful, because I may run into some convolutions here, and I don’t
want to trip you up. But the ideas I’m going to bring you something
here from the Word of God which I believe has the Spirit of the Lord in
it.

24.	Now, let’s look at it, Mt 25:14-30 and it says:

		(14)	For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far
country, 					who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his
goods.

		(15)	And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another
one: 					to every man according to his several ability; (the word
several means 					‘its unique ability’.) and straightway too his
journey.

		(16)	Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with
the 						same, and made…five (more.)

		(17)	…likewise he that had received two…gained…two.

		(18)	But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and
hid his 					lord’s money.

		(19)	After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and
reckoneth 						with them.

		(20)	And so he that had received five talents came and brought other
five 					talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents:
behold, 						I have gained beside them five (more) talents. 

		(21)	His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful
servant: thou 					hast been faithful over a few things, I will make
thee ruler over many 					things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

		Now these are talents given by God, so therefore you’re not dealing
with money. It’s a parable here, and I’m not going to deal with it
as a parable written, but we’ll get truth out of it.

		(22)	He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou 	
				deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other 			
		talents beside them.

		(23) 	(And) his lord said…Well done, good and faithful servant; thou
hast 					been faithful over a few things, (I’ll) make (you) ruler
over many 						things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

		(24)	Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I 
					knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not 		
			sown, and gathering where thou has not strawed:

	In other words, where you’ve not trampled the grain out (you know) to
get the wheat out.

		(25)	And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo,
there 						thou hast that is thine. (Here it is right now with you gave
me one 						talent.)

		(26)	(And) his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and
slothful 					servant, thou knewest that I reap where I (did not sow,)
and (I) gather 					(into the garner that which I did not thresh out.)

		(27)	Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers,
and 					then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

		(28)	Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which
hath 					ten talents.

		(29)	For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have 		
			abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away ever 					
that which he hath.

	Now watch,

		(30)	And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there
shall be 					weeping and gnashing of teeth.

25.	Now, this guy couldn’t repent. There’s nothing he could do, to
me it’s like a man that preaches this Message because of a conscious.
There’s something there, but he doesn’t know what it is, but he goes
along for the money or something else, the prestige that just makes him
somebody. And you’ll meet all kinds of liars and hypocrites like
you’ve never met in your life. And they have no conscious at all, they
can look right at you in the eye and lie, pick your pocket book at the
same time. Anything they can. Now, if you think that’s is not
happening you are so naïve this morning, I wonder if anybody’s going
to make the Rapture, because someone’s going to come in and fool you
like you’ve never been fooled in your life. It’s a good thing
you’ve got Jack Bell, that’s what I can say. 

	Now, you may think that Jack’s a scrapper, but I’d sooner have a
scrapper than a milk toast. I don’t say that Jack’s a scrapper; he
just knows what he wants. He wants God. The people don’t want to come
along, well, that’s kind of their trouble. But he’s got a great
heart for the people, and I appreciate that.

26.	Now listen, verse 30, preceded by the parable of the three servants
who were given five talents, two talents, and one talent, to use and
invest for the master. The one with five came back with five; the one
with two came back with two. And now we go to 24-30, which we read in
there concerning the man with one talent. And each time you’ll notice
that the two that were faithful they took to heart what God had given,
and thereby, what God had given in their faith was now multiplied. And
he said, “Come in the kingdom is yours and you will be a very fine
part of it.” Now, to the other one the last one he was called,
“Faithless,” and he was cast into the Tribulation. 

	Now I want you to notice that, therefore, that this parable has
something to do with the end-time just before the great Tribulation. Now
I don’t pretend to understand it all, I’m not even going to try to.

27.	Now, at this point I want to bring an Easter Message based on the
foundation laid for the end-time, or this hour and to date. Now we
brought you right through the mess the church is in, we brought you to
the place where the Word of God has got to be restored, and will be
restored, showing the alpha and omega principle. But now showing you
something here which I contend, because I’m going to talk about this,
has more to do with attitude than anything else. We’re not going to
try to condemned anybody, or bring out any great light. I just want to
create a little atmosphere to show you something where we are in this
hour. So, you understand I’m kind of bringing in a little kind of
convolution here, but don’t worry about it.

	Now, my thought on Easter is this: Bro. Branham categorically made
Easter an allegorist with the Resurrection. Indeed he went further he
equated one to the other going so far as to say, “We are Easter.”
Right?  Which is Resurrection. We are by vindication the children of the
First Resurrection, that’s the second half of it. Going to the Wedding
Supper as Bro. Branham taught us in the Message of ‘The Rapture’,
delivered in December 4, 1965, at the end there.

28.	Now let us just view Easter in the light of the Resurrection.
We’re going to talk about Easter now. Easter its self is a time, not
of sowing, not a time of sowing. I’d recognize that you have that in
your mind, because Easter is spring. Ha, ha, Easter, time to put in the
peas, time to put in the beans, time to put in the cauliflower to set
everything in order to get our garden in good shape, because it’s
time. Easter does not signify that, naught my understanding and
according to Bro. Branham as I see it. Easter itself is a time not of
sowing, I repeat, not of sowing and therefore not an actual type of
spring wherein we sow for a crop. But it is a time when the sun rises at
the correct angle for its raised to not only fall on the earth, but to
warm the earth and bring forth that which was already there in the
earth, in the form of a root or a bulb, life under the ground; life
lying there, life wanting to come back; Christians the same way in the
ground waiting for the Son of Righteousness to rise with healing in His
wings. To bring forth the great mystery behold, not only do the dead
rise according to the form of the seed which was in the memra, remember,
we bypassed the true form for that seed within us, put in flesh in order
to be tested, now to rise with their theophonic form and the outer
garment completely as God wanted it, we waiting for ours.

29.	Let me say again, Easter in itself is a time not of sowing, I
repeat, not of sowing, therefore, not an actual type of spring when we
sow a crop, has a type of spring, but it’s not that. A time when the
sun rises at the correct angle for its raised not only fall on the
earth, but to warm the earth and bring forth that which is already
there, …?... whatever it was, some kind of root or bulb form; so at
the same life that went down as in death, typing the Resurrection, death
and Resurrection, can now come back exactly the same life in a
Resurrection, the same that went down.

	Now remember, Bro. Branham said, “That the life in the tree went down
into the roots,” he’s talking to the Bride Tree. The Bride Tree was
decimated by the antichrist doctrine, Rev 2:20-23, which we’ve read.
The church now has its own understanding, its own God, its own
everything, so therefore, if you come to God, you got to come to God by
church, and Bro. Branham said that. That’s what’s wrong today. But
he said, “That was okay while that life was going down and coming up
in the reformation.” But at the end-time it doesn’t work, no matter
how many handshakes, no matter how many church joining, it does not
work. You’ve got to get back to the original. Acts 2:37-39, which is
what we are built upon.

30.	So therefore, the Church decimated in Rev 2:22-23, was all gone as
to the outward appearance of a true Church of Jesus Christ. Now Bro.
Branham talked of the leaves going off, this and that going off. He
said, “They got rid of the gifts, they got rid of the joy, they got
rid of the worship, they got rid of truth, and finally the last one came
along and bored into the bark and he cut a ring around it, the …?...
(I guess you call it) and there the sap couldn’t rise anymore, so
there’s no life to come forth, the tree is dead, there’s just enough
there, it’s just the root.” But he said, “If that tree ever brings
forth another branch, it’ll be a Pentecostal branch,” not meaning
Pentecostal church, but going back to Acts 2:37-39, where God baptized
the Church. He Himself stood there in the Pillar of Fire giving a part
of Himself, then turned right around for the Gentiles, and came back,
the apostle Paul already full of the Holy Ghost, and gave him the Word,
and so today we have that branch.

31.	Now, we’ve got to have the branch, because the prophet came.
It’s not a though saying, “Well isn’t it wonderful that God sent a
prophet, I wonder if it did any good.” You think God is some stupid
idiot? You think He said, “Let there be Light,” and something else
came. Say, “Oh boy, we boo booed.” That’s like the guy that Dave
Pollard told me about, he’s a fellow, I’m not going to say who he
is, but he went down there and preached in a certain guy’s church and
he got up and he said, “Now listen, (he said,) if you hear me prophesy
and the prophecy is wrong don’t brand he as a false prophet, it was
just a boo boo.” 

	So the prophet didn’t mean when he said, “Pray that spirit off
you.” 

	“Forget what the prophet said, he’s just an idiot.”

	How could God vindicate a Kentucky hillbilly and answer back to him? It
tells you, those people do not believe that God has any integrity.

	Well, you come to Lee Vayle and say you tell somebody Lee Vayle said,
“He’s going to give each one of the people here a ten dollar
bill.”

	 So you come for your ten dollar, and I say, “Who told you I said
that?”

	“Oh, so and so.”

	“I never said that.”

	No, now if I said I’d do it, I’ve got to do it; my integrity is at
a stake. You mean to tell me God has no integrity? When He said let
there be light, and a cow stood in the pasture. “Well (He said,) I boo
booed.” Bro. Branham said, “This is no Houdini trick.” No
illusionist, this is the real. So therefore, we’re looking at the
end-time. 

32.	Now, the Bride Tree decimated by the antichrist doctrine of Rev
2:20-23, was all gone as to outward appearance of the true Church Bride
of the Lord Jesus Christ. But down in the root was bad light. Not a
re-sown life, you follow what I said, “Not a re-sown life.” No way,
shape, and form. When Jesus Christ died upon Calvary, His blood was
shed, and His Life came back upon the Church. And there cannot be a
second life come back upon the Church, because Jesus cannot die the
second time. It is that one Life the Original Life of Almighty God
Himself, that came back upon the seed sowed. It came by God through
natural generation when He breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of
life, actually the breath of lives and at that time Adam became a living
soul and not before, and therefore every child of God born to Adam and
Eve, because they are the ones that God set upon earth to bring that
family into existence wherein the true seed Christ would die to redeem
them, these having gone into sin.

	That life comes down as Bro. Branham categorically stated which is the
Word of God that Levi was in the loins of his great grandfather Abraham.
And Bro. Branham said, “Your father wanted to have fellowship with
you, and you were in your father and not in your mother.” So
therefore, that life came down, down, down, and everyone that died in
Adam, God Himself redeemed back to Himself, in the order in which He
placed them, a Bride, the wise virgin, and foolish virgin, the
attendance and different ones out there. He has His own system, from the
Pillar of Fire down through the Lamb and the Throne, and down through
the Bride and all down, down, down, down, He has it all.

33.	Now, that original life that was in the seed, that’s why Bro.
Branham said, “If it ever gave another branch, it’s got to be a
Pentecostal branch.” In the meantime every other branch was grafted
in. So now, instead of a true lemon, you’ve got a little orange or
something in there and you’ve got a grapefruit. Now you’ve got a
tangerine, now you’ve got a tangelo, now you’ve got this, but you
haven’t got Christ. And the Church must produce Him. The Church is
that Bride that must bring Him forth in human flesh exactly as it was
done in the days of Abraham and Sarah, and Sarah was not in too good
shape. Her capacity to believe was certainly gone, and when god said,
“All right Sarah, this is the time [you’re] going to have [that]
son.” She just chuckled inside. “Well, (she said,) it was just a
sexual happy affair before, are we going to go back to a sexual happy
affair?” She chuckled. Yeah, the church is chuckling with this happy
sexual affair with sin, and corruption outside.

	How can they spoke, “Millions now living will never die,” when the
Bible deistically said, “Eight people made the ark,” percentage
wise, that was five and a half billion people. In other words eight
people today according to the standard of Almighty God will have the
Holy Ghost. A true baptism that comes piling Word upon Word, until the
person is truly full of the Holy Ghost, and the soul begins to give
forth from every channel now, that which was inducted into It, through
the mind of the Spirit, down into the soul where the choice now becomes
only one choice, which is believing the Word of Almighty God.

34.	So now we are back to the Resurrected life of the Bride Tree, and we
have returned as Bro. Branham said in the Paradox, “Two Ephesians.”
We have now become the perfect Church, the perfect Word Church. So
there’s the thing that people don’t want to understand. They don’t
understand the fact there’s a Mediator, that Mediator gets you in.
Then they don’t want to talk about an Intercessor, become He keeps you
in. And they keep on talking, everything that man did, everything that
man can come to, everything that man can aspire to. “Oh, yes, yes,
He’s great, He’s wonderful just turn Him loose.” Turn Him loose
and go plumb to hell. 

	Let me tell you this flat, as I said the funeral sermon. And on
different tapes I say it again, “There was only one Person whoever did
live the Word of God, because He was the Word of God which is Jesus.
Nobody else ever has, nobody else ever will, but we believe It, and that
makes the difference. And there are those out there who cannot believe,
because there’s nothing in there to believe with. Now this has been
going on for two thousand years. How many believers are there going to
be in the light of the Scripture that said, “They stopped believing
way back in the first Church Age.”

35.	Now listen, my little peculiar insight in this Message on Easter
taken from Matthew 25, in the parable of the talents, and remember,
it’s a parable, a story with a meaning. There is a reaping; now this
is what I want you to get, I’m leaving the parable as far as any
understanding except in the fact, that the Judge comes at the end-time,
and He separates the truly carnal from the truly spiritual from the true
faith, unmitigated faith, Word faith to the false faith. Now this is the
very end-time He’s talking about. We’re going to find those that
have the true Word will be despised by those who do not have It. 

	Now remember, we’re all sharing in the talents of the Master.
They’re all in a certain group, but they’re going to be all finally
divided. As Bro. Branham said, “In every church there’s three kinds
of believers, the true believer, the make believer and the serpent seed,
unbeliever.”

36.	So all right, there is a reaping where no man has sown. The wicked
servant said, “I know you’re a real hard fellow, you reap where you
haven’t sown. You go out and pick up what you didn’t thresh out.”
What does that sound like? Doesn’t that take you back to the 9th
chapter of the Book of Romans?  Where the man rises up and he said,
“Why does God yet find fault? Did He raise up Pharaoh for this? Did he
rise up that man for this? Did He hate Esau and love Jacob? My God, who
can figure Him out? Forget it! Who wants a God like that anyway? Why
does He yet find fault?” Isn’t that the same you find right now? And
what is the doctrine I said on Friday that people hated when Bro.
Branham preached it? Predestination! Couldn’t stand it. Now here
you’re looking at the end-time.

	And what I’m trying to bring you is this: He said, “You are reaping
where there was no sowing, [End of side 2] where there was no threshing.
 

37.	Now…there is a reaping where no man has sown, and outside of pure
insanity, paradox, there is no way one can reap unless something has
been sown. To believe otherwise is to believe chapter 29 the wrong way.
In the Book of Isaiah where you hear about the end-time, and in the
end-time we read 29:1-8.

		(1)	Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! Add ye year to
						year; let them kill sacrifices.

		(2)	Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and
sorrow: 						and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

	Now remember, Jerusalem which is mentioned at the end-time, is
mentioned right in here. 

		(3)	(Now) I will camp against thee round about, and…will lay siege 	
				against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.

		(4)	And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground,
					and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall
be, 						as one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy
speech 						shall whisper out of the dust.

		(5)	Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, 
					and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that
passeth 						away…it shall be at an instant suddenly.

		(6)	Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with 
					earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame 
					of devouring fire.

	Oh, oh, oh, there’s that …?... of fire again. There’s that fire
again that tells us we’re at the end-time.

		(7)	And the multitude of all the nations that fight against
Ariel…(Now 					that’s a bad term, you know, that’s a heathen term
there.) even all 						that fight against her and her (ammunition,) and
that distress her,                            				shall be as a dream of
(the) night vision.

		(8) 	It shall even be as when an hungry man (dreams), and, behold, he 
					eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty
						man (dreams), and, behold, he (drinks); but he (wakes), and
behold, 					he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the
multitude of all 						the nations be, that fight against Zion.

	I use that to show you it’s an empty dream. You have to sow to reap,
and that’s the thing most people in this Message don’t understand;
they’re still back in Pentecost. “Oh, I’ve sin, God forgive me,
God forgive me. Oh, praise the Lord it’s under the Blood. I’ve got
that lovely Mediator; I’ve got that Intercessor, hallelujah. Now what
I did won’t be counted against me, and I won’t have to pay any price
here glory to God.” Hogwash, you’re going to pay for what you’ve
sowed. He forgives you, right? Oh my, how many believe me this morning;
I wonder if a handful do? I wonder if a handful do? 

	If you think you can get by sowing and not reap, Bro. Branham said to a
young man, he said, “Son, God’s forgiving you, but you’ll reap the
rest of your life.” I think the exact words, “you might have to reap
the rest of your life.” 

38.	All right, listen, Outside a pure insanity, there is no way one can
reap unless something has been sown. To believe otherwise is to believe
the ‘dream’ as it were of the hungry man and he’s still empty is
Isaiah 29: 1-8. The people will not realize what I’m saying unless
they get a glimpse of the parable of Matthew chapter 13, wherein we see
God Himself sowing Zoe, to bring forth and to manifestation His own seed
children, while the devil does the same thing coming behind him to
populate the world. God’s children by Adam and Eve, they’re God’s
children. Satan’s children come by Eve and the beast. That’s in
Matthew 13, beginning at verse 36, I won’t read it.

	Then we see the Word of God the spiritual food is sown to all the
seeds. It was sown in the first place, because their bodies were made to
be tempted, they could fall into sin, they turned on the Word, and what
did God do? Because they were His seed He corrected them and put them
back on the Word. God always does that.

39.	Now, but Satan seed does not take the Word, because it cannot they
don’t have the room for It, you see. So therefore, we see the Word,
God’s spiritual food sown to the seed. And It’s sown to both God’s
seed and Satan’s seed. And at the end-time Bro. Branham’s vision of
Hebrew 6, was: The seed was all sown by a man in white…behind the
man…he came behind him in black and he sowed seed. And pretty soon it
all looked nice and green, because the sun came up and the rain came
down. Afterward a certain time of growth, the sun beamed… that turned
to brass and the skies were brazen with the sun and the land was
steaming, and pretty it cracked and was dry and the wheat began saying,
“Oh God send rain, oh God send rain.” And the wicked tare, serpent
seed, said, “Oh God send rain, oh God send rain.” And pretty soon
the rain come, and the wheat said, “Hallelujah Lord, and the tare was
twice as vociferous, “Hallelujah, hallelujah Lord.” Everybody
thought the tares were the wheat; I just through that in for good
measure knowing my sarcasm, and having come out of Pentecost. It
didn’t matter what you did as long as you spoke in tongues and did it
in the Name of the Lord, you could sin like the devil and say, “Jesus
for forgiving me.” Thinking all the time you wouldn’t have to reap
what you’ve sowed.” That’s hogwash, that’s hogwash. They took
that to the place of birth control, what do you got now? AIDS. Huh! Oh
yeah, let’s not kid ourselves. 

40.	Now listen, if we’re going to go to hell, let’s go down praising
God. Let’s go down and …?... the same as Aiken that took the wedge
of silver and the Babylonian silver and the Babylonian garment, and
Joshua said, “Give glory to God, (he said,) let’s step out here.
It’s fallen on you Aiken and your bunch, now give God the glory, admit
it, you haven’t admitted it.” And  took him out and stoned him.
Every tongue is going to confess to the glory of God. 

	Some men send their sins on before, and some men their sins follow. I
trust we’re all of those who send their sins on before and smarten up
in this last day we had better sow to the Word of God as is given, and
not be of those that of preaching and believing, because of some little
conscious, or some little thing you think you see; because when that
Light turns to darkness, it all over, because this is the hour and
repentance gives out. And I know It gives out, because water baptism is
entirely gone in the name of the Trinity, and the last thing is that
Bro. Branham said, “The baptism with the Holy Ghost is temporary,”
it only last till this hour, or a little few minutes that are down the
road.

41.	So all right, the serpent seed do not receive the Word of God,
though they can enter into gifts, and other things pertaining to the
Word of God which are set forth the Church can have, so unto the
end-time there is merely a razor blade between the two. Though here we
see that before the end-time as set forth in… Revelation the 19th and
the 20th chapter, there is an Easter and that’s the Message. 

	Now, what is the Easter? It’s Life manifested, the same Life that
went down and came up and demonstrated the risen Christ in the Alpha,
because it went completely down at the end-time where except something
happened of a dynamic force and nature from God, there was no way
anybody could repent, because they didn’t know what to repent from.
How do you change your mind if you’re fully convinced that you’re
okay, or the best that you could do at this particular time? That’s
why Bro. Branham came on the scene with a great ministry of Moses and
Paul, with the Pillar of Fire, Elohim Himself, the very Presence of
Almighty God.

	The Bride Life from the Christ that Life that went into the ground, in
apparent death like unto as did Jesus, is coming forth from Her planting
in the ground, Bro. Branham said, “She had to be like Christ fall in
the ground.” For hundreds of years and has now visibly shown that
there is a planting and a harvest to which no man has ever, or ever will
put forth His hand of Himself to be a sower, or have any part in a
harvest whatsoever except to believe It. That’s Easter!

42.	What did Bro. Branham say man always does when God does something?
“He puts something to it.” Now, what are you putting and what am I
putting anything to this? Did anybody here this morning really know that
Elijah would come to the Gentiles? Did anybody really know that God
would send an American prophet to the world and to America? Did anybody
have any idea concerning the anointed ones at the end-time? The answer
is No, unless you’re a bunch of bare face liars, and I don’t see
anybody here with a beard, so that covers the whole bunch of you. You
know you didn’t know, I didn’t know. Jack didn’t know. And you
that like to test the water’s didn’t know. And how much do you all
really know? 

	Now, if you can’t put your hand to it, you can’t do a thing about
it anymore then you did about your conception and your birth. It’s the
same thing right today, what are you going to do with this Message?
“So I don’t thoroughly understand it.” Nobody said you had to
understand it all. The point is, is to believe what came in our hour,
and to say what He said. And you cannot say what He said based upon what
your formerly knew, because Oneness is wrong and Trinitarianism is
wrong, therefore, everybody was wrong, even knowing anything about God;
goes the old Scotsman said, “You wouldn’t recognize God if you met
Him in your porridge.” Right, John McRae? I think that’s truly was
said. I know the same. I’m a Canadian by birth, I know a little bit
about the British or whatever. I like the Scotch.

43.	So therefore, let me read it again: The Bride Life from Christ that
went into the ground, in apparent death like unto as did Jesus, is
coming forth from Her planting in the ground for the hundreds of years
she was there; and now visibly shown that there is a planting and a
harvest, to which no man has ever, or will ever put forth as of himself
to be sower, or have any part in it whatsoever, except to be a
recipient. You say, “Bro. Vayle that sounds like grace.” What do
expect me to make it sound like? 

	“Come and dine the Master says, I see you out there in your boats
laboring. I’ll help you bring in fish, and have a good living, but in
the meantime I’ve got food here waiting.” And Bro. Branham said in
‘The Resurrection’, “Jesus ate a fish sandwich.”  I thought,
“Isn’t that wonderful, the surprises that come and the glory
that’s going to be in the Millennium when we know further.” 

44. Let me read the 1st Book of Corinthians, that is pardon me, just a
part of it in case you got worried, I almost got worried myself for a
minute. 1 Cor 3:1-23.

		(1)	And I, brethren, could not spear unto you as unto spiritual, but 	
				as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

		(2)	I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto (you) 		
			were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able (to bear it 			
		now.)

		(3)	For are ye (not) yet carnal: for whereas there is among you
envying, 					and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as
men?

		(4)	(And) while one (said), (I’m) of Paul…(I’m) of Apollos; are
ye 						not carnal? 

	I put to this, I put to that. I got my input, I got this and I got
that. Oh, we’ve got an input. 

		(5)	Who is Paul…who is Apollos, But ministers by whom (you) believe 
				even as God gave to every man.?		

		(6)	I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

		(7)	 So then neither is he that (plants) any thing, neither he that
waters, 					but God that giveth the increase.

		(8)	Now he that (plants) and he that (waters) are one: and every man s
					hall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

		(9)	(We’re) laboures together with God, (we’re) God’s husbandry,
(we’re) 					Gods’ (planting. We’re God’s church, we’re
God’s building, we’re 					God’s everything.)

		(10)	According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise		
			masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another (builds)
thereon. 					But let every man take heed how he (builds) thereupon.

		(11)	For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is
Jesus 					Christ (the righteous, and that’s the corner stone, and
today is the 						head stone.)

	 He’s come right back. People don’t believe that. Who came down?
“Oh the Lamb.” The Lamb. Oh the Lamb didn’t come down, He on His
Father’s Throne. Ask around, find out, you’re strangely quiet. That
can’t be this Church’s problem, not knowing Jack Bell. I know that
for a fact. You know who came down. Elohim came down. Oh yeah, God came
down; the same One that came to the Garden of Eden. Same One that
brought the Word to Paul is here revealing It. Bro. Branham said, “We
we haven’t had the Pillar of Fire from the time of Moses, for two
thousand years since Paul.” He himself admitted it that he was one
with Paul and with Moses. “Oh, (you say,) such carnality. Oh my, he
really aggrandized himself.” What are you doing knocking him? What
have you go to tell anybody? Why, I’ll tell you, God’ would give you
Brownie marks and these merits, run up there and scream, “We had a
prophet William Branham, hallelujah, vindicated prophet come and I’ll
tell you, I’ll give you book, I won’t tell you, here’s the
book.” That’s the best you can do, you’ve done yourself and heaven
a great favor. I don’t mean to be mean, I’m just…that’s my
nature.

45.	So all right, we can keep on reading: [1 Corinthians 3:]

		(12)	Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious	
				 stones, wood, hay, stubble; (and so on.)  It tells you:

		(13-15) (Every man works is going to be tried by fire. What kind of
work 						it is. And if a man’s work abide that build their own,
he’ll receive 						a reward. If it suffers loss, he going to be
saved, but as by fire). 

		(16)	Know ye not (you’re) temple of God, and the Spirit of God
(dwells) 					you, (and so on.)

	So there we find that lined up completely perfectly, that Paul the
apostle says, “I don’t have anything to do with It.”

	Now, let’s us find out what William Branham said… Now, “I want
you to know this is sure, this is certain, don’t ever question me,”
said Bro. Branham, “this is It,” put it in your books mark it down
and that’s it. Don’t ever come to me again.” 

	And I’ll tell you why I’m saying this, because it was under the
circumstance that he said this. They made him Jesus Christ, they made
Him this, they made Him that. The spirit got on a woman in Canada, she
fell at his feet and called him Jesus Christ and worshipped him. He went
to a nervous breakdown, and he couldn’t do the mighty works he could
of done just like Jesus, because people around him. You didn’t know
that did you? “Oh, William Branham great mastodon, great big
bulldozer, great big Sherman tank.” Nah, not anymore than Jesus was,
or Paul.

46.	Now, “I want you to know that this is sure, and you that listen to
this tape, you might of thought today I was trying to say that about
myself being that I was packing this Message. I’ve no more to do with
it than nothing. No more than just a voice, and my voice seaming against
my better judgment. I wanted to be a trapper,” (skunk skinner was he
was) “but it’s the will of my Father that I declare to do, and am
determined to do. I wasn’t the One that Appeared down on…” Huh?
Should I read it again? “I wasn’t the One that Appeared”…did he
go away? Prove it if He did. Prove it that He did. The same One that
brought the Message is the same One that raises the dead that gets us
out of here. “I wasn’t the One that Appeared down at the river, I
was only one standing there when He Appeared. I’m not the one that
performs these things, and foretells these things that happened as
perfectly as they are. I’m only one that that’s near when He does
it. I was only a voice that He used to say It. It wasn’t what I knew;
it’s just what I surrendered myself to the He spoke to. It isn’t I,
it wasn’t the Seventh angel (it’s Messenger he should of said I
think.) Seventh angel, oh no, It was a manifestation of the Son of
Man.”                   [ANOINTED.ONES.AT.END.TIME  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-3 
65-0725M ] Huh? A huh, right back to Jesus’ ministry. 

	It wasn’t the Angel his Message, it was the mystery that God
unfolded, it’s not a man, it’s God. The Angel was not the Son of Man
he was a Messenger from the Son of Man. The Son of Man is Christ; He’s
the One you’re feeding on. They’re not feeding on a man. A man his
words will fail, but you’re feeding on the unfailing Body Word of the
Son of Man. William Branham didn’t have that much to do with it. “So
aw Bro. Vayle, you’re running down the prophet.” No, I’m, not,
I’m glorifying him. If he were here he’d scream, “Preach it Bro.
Vayle,” that’s exactly the truth. He’d be a liar if he didn’t,
because I just read it. I knew William Branham, he was no liar, he was
no lackey for the devil; some sub servant of so-called Christianity. Oh
yes, man had nothing to do with it sow Easter. God is manifesting and
God is reaping. Yeah! God is reaping the life buried in the root that
lay in darkness has appeared in the Bride that was prepared is now made
ready by the watering of the same original Word of Paul; and is now
qualified and classified in Ephesians 5, as the Bride, washed in the
waters of separation without spot or wrinkle.

	It is true that 2 Th 1:7-10 is actually Mal 4:4-6, the hour of judgment
has passed over the Bride and She’s been vindicated. Here is your
virgin of Psalm 1, God’s planting and God’s fruit. There is also the
foolish virgin and the serpent seed; for the foolish virgin die in the
great Tribulation and go to the Throne to be restored.

	So my Easter thought is: Here is what we get. There is a planting of
God to which man is absolutely, or absolutely has no part whatsoever in
It, except his God given ability by that spark of faith that is in us;
that passive faith to receive everything that is in this hour. And that
passive faith is only because God has given us the grace whereby we can
receive It. It is all of God for His Own children and nobody else for
salvation is certainly of the Lord. It is our High Tower of escaping the
Tribulation, our Great Rock the righteous run into It and are saved.

	I hope you can begin to see that this is the true evidence of Easter,
Now what am I saying in a nutshell? I’ll bring it down to this: Easter
is the time, Bro. Branham specifically stated, “The Resurrection.”

	Now, because there is a seed involved in this particular season, what
is the season we are looking at? We’re looking at the season of the
Resurrection, where the seed of God restored and brought to immortality
in a resurrection are now the seed of the Millennium, because it’s the
children of God that go in there. And remember, Jesus could not see His
Own generation physically, sexually it was impossible. But He saw His
generation, and the generation according to Scripture is a seed. And
that seed of both Old and New Testament, are about to take over the
Millennium, and you and I don’t have anything to do with It. Uh, uh.
Have nothing to do with It. No, nothing to do with It. It is by the
grace of God, His Own provision by election that He chose us. That part
of Him could be that Bride and we will go forth in victory in faith,
live, die, sink or swim. 

	There is no enemy, not even death to the grave can take possession over
a Bride of this last hour, but they’ll go in immortality. When the
Bride goes up, watch all those false seed take over completely, and the
wrath of God will fall on them in the great Tribulation and they will be
burned as a chaff and as a stubble. But the righteous shall take the
Kingdom, that’s what Daniel said, “They’re going to do it.” 

	So there it is. There is no further season as sowing, no way. There is
not another Church Age, no way. No way, shape and form. And Bro.
Branham’s categorical statement, which backs up the whole thing I say
is this: He said, “God will create again not by sex, …take the
calcium and the potassium and the minerals, and all those products which
make up a body; and by the Resurrection He will populate an earth.”
And let me tell you something, God has done it all and will do it all.

	Therefore, in this hour we can by the faith we have in Him, and not
only a faith brother/sister that’s been talked about, it’s a faith
that’s been demonstrated by vindication we can enter into the Rest,
and lay it all in the hands of Almighty God. Not looking at ourselves,
but looking at Him.

	Let’s just pray and we’ll talk about the dedication.

	Heavenly Father, I trust that good has come from the service this
morning. That people may see that the Resurrection of Life and unto
life, is the sowing for the Millennium, that we shall go in and the
sowing for the Millennium and that which comes forth in the foolish
virgin in the great White Throne is the sowing in the seed that goes
into the new ages, the new earth, the new Kingdom.

	I don’t understand it all Lord, but I know it has been demonstrated
in this hour that this is the truth. And Lord, if I expect it or anyone
else expects anything else, we know our expectations are in vain,
because perfection has come, and no man can add or take from it, either
to the Living Word, or to that Bride Word of the Lord Jesus Christ. That
we know Lord that is being made up in this hour, because You’ve sent
Your prophet to do it. Now Lord, may the full strength of the Holy
Spirit in the Word descend upon each mind and spirit and soul and body
to irrevocably come to the place of the decision of this hour, we are
going in, because God has done It. We praise Thee for Your goodness and
mercy. 

	[Bro. Vayle goes into the dedication service.]
