Time of the Resurrection

Bro. Lee Vayle   - April 20, 1980

1.	Once you think you see something then you ah…that’s all you can
see.  And there's nobody going to change, except God changes you,
because repentance is a change of mind, and repentance must be granted
by God. So that if God has not granted that the Light shine in, and you
are able to receive It, you won't get anywhere. He stood with the
Pharisees and He said. "The reason that you can't receive my Word is
that there is no place in there for It." No place in you. Well, if God
hadn't granted in the sovereignty of His will to give them the place of
repentance.

	Now, we know that when He turned to them and said, "You are of your
father the devil,"         [Jn 8:44] He branded them as John did over
there in the epistle of John with Cain who was of that wicked one. And
right away they said, "We be not born of fornication." [Jn 8:41] Well,
they understood serpent seed, because the Israel was convinced for
century after century, after century that the serpent did copulate with
Eve and brought forth Cain.

2.	So, just going along thinking you know about how this Message, we
believe It, because we believe It was vindicated, believe that God
answered back and spoke to man, which if God did not answer back and
speak to the man, who did? I'd say, "Well, somebody did, but it wasn't
necessarily God." Well, what is definition of God? Well, your definition
of God according to fundamentalists is in this Word. Well, how come that
this man then held up God as nobody else held up God? Well, the thing is
in error because he believed in one God. Well how come three gods can't
talk back as fast and good as one God can talk back to William Branham? 
Now, either their three gods are washouts, or something wrong somewhere.

	So, my mind was wandering, and wandering, and wandering talking the
thing about vindication and say, Well, what's vindication?"  Well, you
can to a great ministry and you'd say, "That was vindication." But it's
isn't just the ministry that vindication, it's what lies within the
ministry. Because there can be ministries hither, thither and yon, and a
multiplicity. 

3.	I would imagine that none of you here this morning has ever read
chapter eight of a book written by a doctor (I forget his name) a
formerly the Grace Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, who was a very
close friend of Dr. Spurgeon. And except I told you about it, or gave
you the eighth chapter which I had mimeographed off, you would not know
that Spurgeon had one of the greatest healing ministries ever. That his
prayer was so awesome that he could walk into an insane institution and
pray and the place would quiet right down.

	Well, Spurgeon was a pretty good old boy, but he really wasn't
vindicated. You got people today do that very thing, and then Spurgeon
smoked cigars. Now, he didn't know they were wrong smoking cigars, but
the doctor finally told him he had to quit smoking cigars. Now, that
brought me to think, well that's funny, now Bro. Branham said he'd
sooner see a woman that was rolling on the floor drunk, then a woman
smoking a cigarette.  Now, you'd say, "That's a horrible thing." 

4.	My wife came home and she'd nursed a lot patients like that, she said
she couldn’t go along with Bro. Branham with his reasoning's, because
she said, then, I said, "The trouble Alisen, you don't realize he wasn't
saying he'd sooner see a woman drunk on the floor."  But anybody can
smoke a cigarette and he'd pat you on the back and it's fine. But she's
rolling on the floor is not so hot, you'll do something about it.

	Now, that brings you one fact here. Woman is what is to blame, now I'm
not hurting you women, for God sake listen you me, I'm trying to not
hurt anybody, but explain something to you. It's the women that have to
watch out, because the woman receives seed from the serpent. In other
words, she's vulnerable, where the male is not vulnerable. Now, males
should not smoke cigarettes, but even cup of coffee, women drinking
coffee can hurt the baby. Do you follow what I'm trying to tell you? It
comes through the woman. Then if the baby that's born, if that's a male,
then he's already part shot by the time he impregnates somebody. You
follow me?

5.	You see, that's why when we type and we taught, especially me, I'm a
champion of women, but it's got to be the right way. I'll tell you how
much a champion I am, I saw a black man hitting a black women in
Florida. You know, I can't fight, my God, I run at the drop of a hat.
But I was over there like a flash, and said, "You leave her alone." I
was ready to club him, or he'd club me or something. And being white, or
whatever it was, he was more cowardly than I was, he backed off.

	Now, he might have had a right to punch her out as far as he was
concerned, because he said she was running with men. Oh, gorgeous,
don’t go punch her in the mouth. So, I'm not mean to women, but you
see sometime my mind gets going, and I begin to see pictures and why
things are. Now, it all comes out from the Scripture that Noah was the
only perfect man. Genetically perfect, generically. That word has the
biological background. It's generic. He was the only one man living in
all the world that was perfect in his body, he was a pure human being.
The women and the children, now if he was perfectly human being, and he
was the last man left, it had to come by one place, 'woman'.  (See?) 

6.	Now, I think God help me to get you this little thought this morning,
because I'm going to continue it, number three from what we got into on
Sunday and Wednesday and that's on                 1 Corinthians 15: the
'Time of the Resurrection'. And we won't read anything just at this
moment, but as I mentioned here that last Sunday and Wednesday we were
viewing the Alpha and Omega chronology of events in the First Age that
were identical to our present day. (See?)

	Then we saw that a work was going on now getting a Bride ready for
immortality apart from death and resurrection. We saw a chronology, and
then we were able by the Scripture to show you that something had to go
on in the period of the Resurrection. That was Wednesday night more
particular than it was on Sunday.

7.	Now, we want to look into certain Scripture again, in 1 Corinthians
15: to further see the First Resurrection is about to take place in our
day, and what It is all about as especially pertaining to those who will
not die and come up in a resurrection, but they will be changed.

	So, we're going to go to 1 Corinthians again and we'll start with
15:51-55.

		(51) 	Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all (die, or) sleep, 
					(he's speaking of the body now) but we shall all be changed,

		(52) 	In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for 
					the trumpet shall sound, and the dead (in Christ) shall be raised 	
				incorruptible, (now, that's to the dead, concerning the dead, that 	
				promise) and we shall be changed (back to the living.)

		(53) 	For this corruptible must put on (incorruptibility, that what
the 						Greek actually says) and this mortal must put on immortality.

	Again, speaking to the individuals that are living in order to catch
them up with those, (and I mean a catch up, not in a Rapture, but I mean
to bring them up to, and to catch up to) where these people already are
in the Resurrection. (See?)

		(53)	…must put on immortality.

		(54) 	So, when this (corruptibility, speaking of the living) shall
have put 						on (incorruptibility), and this (mortality, that's death
doom) shall 						have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass
the saying 						that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

	Now, that's talking, and that illusion is to the living who are going
to be changed.

		(55) 	O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

		(56) 	The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

8.	Now, this is the answer to Genesis 3:22-24.  Now listen:

		(22) 	And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, 	
				to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take
					also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:

	Now, this tells you right here man has within him the sensibility, the
innate intelligence to do some specific thing if the door is open, or
he'd go on and on and on, and on and on. And they still try to do a term
they call 'geriatrics'. Or they try get you living, and living, and
living. But I've got news for you, they're going to die. 

	Now listen, God looked down at that man and He said, "That fellow is
just about in the same place I'm in."  Now, if I give him an open door,
he'll go right over there and live forever, in the condition he's in.

	Now, I tell you, there isn't one person here, you might think you'd
like to live for a thousand years, but you know in your heart you
wouldn't dare try to live for a thousand years. Like I’ve often said,
and I don’t say it too facetiously the truth, "If this is the squeeze,
give me two thousand years in good health."  But I tell you, there comes
the day when your body is going down, and you will want to die and
you're glad to die. 

9.	That's where even…you know, preachers get all so cooped up, it's
pitiful, they stink. Now, maybe the congregation think that the preacher
stink worse than the people. They're all the time trying to tell you how
the people are screaming out, when they’re dying. And they tell you
about, oh, I don't know, Balzac, different ones that are supposed to
have not called upon God, but rather screamed out that they're dying and
what a terrible condition.

	Let me tell you flat, modern science has proved that people die
peacefully, most of them. And they're glad to die. And those that seem
to sort of die and come back tell of a very pleasant sensation of lights
and this, that, and the other thing. (See?)

	What I'm trying to show you is either there comes a time you'll want to
die. Now, would you love to be in a condition of immortality with drag,
drag, drag, drag, drag, pain, pain, sorrow, sorrow, worse, worse? No! 

10.	Now, it was in man back there, because of his stupendous brain, and
we only use ten percent of our brain, what must he have used when his
brain was clear? And what could he have used living over nine hundred
years with a brain that was clear? Because he was pure human being, a
son of God. Misplaced law, but a son of God. Do you follow me?

10.	All right, he could have gone there, he was able in a position to
literally work it out where he could have lived not one thousand years,
but thousands and thousands and thousands of years. Because God, cut him
off. Now, what did He say here?  

		(23) 	Therefore the LORD God sent him (out of) the garden of Eden, 			
		to till the ground from whence he was taken.

		(24) 	So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden
						of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, 			
		to keep the way of the tree of life.

	Now, this is the answer to that question. Will there be a time when man
who has within him the capability of walking to the Tree of Life and
live there? Yes! Under the conditions that God lays down. (See?) Do you
follow? Simple as ABC.

11.	All right, let's go over It again to hear what happens to open the
way that we can walk into immortality. And It says here, "I show you a
mystery, we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump."    [1 Cor
15:51-52]

	Now, It tells you specifically that it's at the last Trump, whatever
length of time that takes, and whatever it is, It says, "It lies in
there." Is when man will be able through the mystery of God to walk in,
into immortality. He absolutely will not die. Now, It says we're all
going to be changed.  Just the same as the dead are going to be raised
incorruptible, we standing here who are already corruptible and are
wasting away, because that's what that means, 'wearing out', we are
going to put on that which cannot wear out. And immortal means which is
'death doom' will put on that which death cannot touch. And then It says
when that happened, It says, that's the process known as death is
swallowed up in victory. [1 Cor. 15:54] You see? 

	So, something happened under the last Trump. There's something goes on
there that removes cherubim's and puts man in a position, a condition
which he was not in formerly. So, now if he goes into immortality, walks
right in it's alright. Everything is just fine.

12.	Now, we just go to Revelation 22:8, we start reading and look at It.
 

		(8) 	And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard
					and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the (messenger)
						which shewed me these things.

		(9) 	Then (said, don't you do it:) for I am thy fellow servant, (even
of the) 					brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings
of this 						book: worship God.

	See, the prophet's got to keep the Word too. As I said, Moses has got
to eat the same Manna that he brought down by the grace of God and he
kept the same Word. That's why I mentioned the other day and hit hard on
this stuff with this forty-five minute bunch of stuff. Where did God
Almighty say a prophet didn't have to keep the Word of God? (Uh?) Some
days some things will get clear. But don't for God's sake major on
minors, and not major on the major. (See?)

	I've been saying all along, Jesus didn't say to His disciples, "Now, I
got to chew tobacco, but you can't?" So, let's understand now, I hit
things pretty hard, because…Then if there's any cobwebs up I there, I
tell you flat, everything is flying through the air will catch on those
cobwebs. (See?)

13.	Now, [Revelation 22:]

		(9) 	…which keep the sayings…  

	I told Bro. Branham, I said, "I wouldn't care if you raised the dead I
wouldn't walk across the street to see you raise the dead, except to
know what kind of a man you are." I meant it. Who raised the dead?  What
is the big deal?  Jesus raised the dead when Lazarus died? What's the
big deal? (Uh?) I'm not slurring down, I'm just letting you…what's the
big deal? 

	Well, you know they got so mad at Lazarus they tried to kill him
history said.  Bump him off, get him out of the way. Oh brother. No
wonder they tried to bump off Christians that followed Jesus Christ. And
raises from the dead of our creeds and their dogmas, into a spiritual
resurrection to follow real Living Word of God. But they'll get us when
the time comes, don't worry. So, what. Might even starve us to death.
"Shall famine," the Word mentions famine in there. You know like it
gives when your stomach turning?  So, what? Can't last forever. (Huh?) 

14.		(9)	…worship God. (He said.)

	This Message should bring a worship to God that no Message under high
heaven will bring. Because already they announced that that man, that
man is Jesus Christ. Now, I'll tell you, that's not insanity really.
Although it is in one way. That's a tribute. You talk about a tribute.

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

	Now watch:

		(11) 	He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: he which is filthy,
(is) filthy 					still: he that is righteous, (is) righteous still: and
he that is holy, (is) 					holy still.

		(12) 	And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give
every					 man according as his work... (and that's at this hour:)

		(13) 	I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and
the last.

	He lets you now, "Look now I'm going to be right now what I was at the
beginning."

		(14) 	Blessed are they that do his commandments, … 

	No sir! "Who wash their robes." Come on, cross it out of your Bibles,
don't be some kind of Idolater of the King James version, that's got
five hundred rotten mistakes in it. It was so bad Bro. Branham had to be
told by the Angel of God to go to the Diaglott. And the Diaglott is a
crudded up version from the Greek to the Latin by a bunch of priests.
I'm going to tell you something, there's no man living that can crud
this Book up so bad, it'll shine through somewhere. They'll mess up
somewhere. The truth will come through, no man's that clever. The
Diaglott is about the biggest mess you can ever get your hands on. But
you see, there's a certain word in there that Bro. Branham had to have,
was in the Diaglott, so Bro. Branham took in there. (See?)

15.	 Now listen,  

		(14) 	Blessed are they (who wash their garments) that they may have
right 					to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into
the city.

		(15) 	For without are dogs, … 

	What are dogs? Male prostitutes.  You use the word in Canada called
'bugger', they'll smack you in the teeth. That means 'a man that messes
with men'. Down here he's a 'buger' it means nothing. They say, "bugger
all," so doesn't mean a thing. Like a little bug. Like a man that builds
houses is a builder, and a guy that chases bugs is a bugger. I guess, I
don't know. [laughter] In the British Empire the word is pretty filthy,
because it has to do with male prostitution. Anybody that ever dared to
mention a man touching another man, he'd bust your teeth in, knock your
skull, and he'd put you through court sander. But now, the courts uphold
the gays, the men prostitutes.

	I haven't seen, but they tell me on TV and every now and then down in
Cincinnati on some program the boys come in mincing, and they're
prettier than the girls. Shee! I like what the old farmer said about the
three beetles.  Said, "My gosh, them bugs are slimmer than I ever saw in
my life." [laughter] He had her pinned right down. Women look like
women. Men should look like men. Even nature tells that.

16.	 The old buck goes out there to find little old timid doe stands
back. Woman are not timid anymore. And one of the end time things right
here are filthy male prostitutes. It's rottenness. Then It says:

		(15)	…sorcerers, …

	Well, that word I told you before comes from the word 'druggist', which
means poisoners. The guys that write the prescriptions and make the
prescriptions up, that bottle the stuff. I say those are the preachers
that hear from headquarters. 

		(15)	…whoremongers, (well, you know what they are) murderers,
idolaters, 					whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

	Now, It tells you they're outside, they can't get in. (See?) They can't
put on immortality. Those that put on immortality, are part of New
Jerusalem. You'll wake up one morning and find you're turned back to a
sixteen year old kid. Even you eighteen years old you'll have a little
change too don't worry. Oh, you'll have a whale of a change, don't
worry. The best change you'll ever have in your life. The other just
gave you problems, gave me problems. This doesn't give any problems.
Changed immortality. It's under…

17.	 Now, this takes place under that Trumpet, and you'll noticed It
said, "Blessed are they who wash their garments." So, therefore you know
what this is all about in 1 Corinthians 15:  So, let's go back and look
at It again

		(52) 	In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for
the 						trumpet shall sound, and the dead (will) be raised…

	And we're going to get changed, and It tells you what the change is:  

		(54) 	…(corruptibility putting) on (incorruptibility, (mortality
putting) 						immortality…(and it has to do with garments. Has to do
with robes.) 

	Now, in here it's put on, it's inner robe investiture. Not just putting
on, anybody can put on, that's a hypocrite. You can't put on if you're
real saints, just there anyway. Something inside you is going to be
working.  

	Now, this investiture right here is the inner robe. So therefore, under
the last Trump the people will be purifying the garment. Now, you know
it's got everything to do with garments, because look over here in
Revelation 3:		

		(17) 	Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased (in) goods, and
have 						need of nothing; and knowest not (you're) wretched,
miserable, 						poor, blind, and naked: (don't even know it.)

18.	People say, "That's why they keep on saying, 'Hallelujah'…" Oh,
let's not get into this, I'm not going to mention anything, because I'll
get carried away. I'll just try to hold this down. But this is exactly
why the fundamentalist comes along and he doesn't need anybody, because
hallelujah, he has Jesus.  Now, if that's the case, pull your Bible to
pieces, spit on it. It doesn't say, "Jesus." It says, "Inner garment,
investiture." Now, of course you're not going to get it without Jesus.
But it doesn't come automatically. This is dispensational. This is what
burns me up with those guys. "Well, we don't need Elijah, hallelujah,
we're so wonderful." 

	Go ahead, spit in the face of God, call Him a liar. I can't get people
even to believe John 15:24, Jesus said, "If I had not done the works
which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both
seen and hated both me and my Father."  And a man that turns on Divine
healing, I don't care how holy he walks, I don't care how perfectly he
is, he hates Divine healing, and whispers one word against It, he hates
the Father and the Son.

19.	Oh, you say what you want, no wonder I get all blistered and hot and
keep hammering you guys over the head. Lest for God sake, you slip for
one minute and slip away, it just takes one thought to get into your
mind, bluey you're gone right now. Because one will add, one will add,
add and add, and add, and add. Like the male ejaculate, God didn't send
one sperm seed to do, there's billions in there. If one don't get you,
the other will. There's a thousand voices to impregnate your mind and
mess you up. As is said, don't major on a minor.

	At the last Trump It tells you right here, the born again themselves
have to go through something very definitive that God does. It's not
just say, "Thank you Lord, I got you Jesus, that did it all when I was
born again." Because that's what Paul said over in the Book of
Ephesians, said, "You people that are born again, I pray the Spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him come into the Church; in
order that the Resurrection will take place, and the Rapture take place
and the subjection come into being." The fullness of it.  You follow me?
Now, you should by now, because you heard me preach enough times on
this.

20.	Now listen, [1 Corinthians 15:] 54

		(54) 	So, when this corruptible shall have put on (incorruptibility),
and 						this mortal shall have put on immortality, then (it'll) be
brought to 						pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up
in victory.						(There is a time when death is swallowed, it's held
back.)

 	I want to tell you something: if Adam would have broken through to
that Tree on his own, I think he'll likely would have burned to crisp if
they found any ashes, or any gases he'd have been lucky.  

	And I see today people trying to break through to God on their own, and
God is going to send a great fire down from heaven, like the atomic
eruptions all over the world. And they're going to be burned to a crisp,
and you'll find neither hide nor hair. The Bible says, "Just ashes." 

	You know why? Because the try to get to the Tree of Life apart from
what God said under the Seventh Trump. People say they exalt this Word
then laugh at It. Say, "Well, I don't need that,  man." Then why is It
in there? Why is It in there? (See?) Why is It put in there about women
with short hair, and long hair, and men's clothes and this, that and the
other thing? Why is It put in there if It doesn't mean something? 

 	Now, if you can give me a type, I'll take it. But the types run out in
the New Testament. That's where this idea of Pentecost got its spiritual
communion. "We don't need the bread, we've got the Word.  We don't need
the wine, we got the Holy Spirit."  Hogwash! You need the bread and the
wine in Communion, you need your Foot-washing. I don't care how often
you do it, just do it sometime anyway. You can do it every day, it
wouldn't kill you. 

21. And It says here, "At this time this saying is brought to pass."
Now, what saying is brought to pass?  

		(54)	…Death is swallowed up in victory.

	Where's that taken from? Isaiah 25:8. Now, let's go and take a look at
It.  

		(8) 	(And) He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will 
				wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people
shall 					he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken
it.

	Now, you can just take a verse like that and you'd say, "Well, how did
Paul do that?" 

	Well, Paul could say, "I did it by the Holy Ghost, and I've got a right
to reach out and do what I want."  Now, the Word comes to the prophet.
He doesn't reach in and take nothing. But I'm going to tell you
something: neither are we so foolish to think, there's verses all over
Scripture that are simply thrown there, and simply thrown there that
it's going to take a prophet to bring out the truth on it. There's
always got to be a context.

	One of the things that Bro. Branham said that is so true, "Don't take a
verse out of context." So, therefore if you take a verse there's got to
be a context. All right, we've got a lot of context. 

22.	 All right, we're going to read see, we going to start with Isaiah
24.

		(1) 	Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, 			
		and (turns) it upside down, (scatters) abroad the inhabitants 						
thereof.

		(2) 	And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; with the
servant, 					so with (the) master; with the maid, so with her mistress;
(so) with the 					buyer, so with the seller; (and) with the lender, so
with the borrower; 					(and) with the taker of usury, so with the giver
of usury…  

		(3) 	The land shall be utterly emptied, utterly spoiled: for the LORD
hath 					spoken (His) word.

		(4) 	The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the (earth) languisheth and
fadeth					 away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

	Now, if you can't see this as an end time description to what's going
on, I guess you maybe have a little different colored eyeglasses, then I
got. Listen:

		(5) 	The earth is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; (and He says,
"I'm 					going to destroy them that destroy the earth" Right?)  because
they 					transgressed the (law, … what law? laws of nature. See?)

	You got the conservation trying to turn it back. It can't be turned
back. It's impossible. Therefore, the inhabitant of the earth are burned
and few men left. 

23.	Well, It tells you right there, there's few left. Bro. Branham said
the Bride was infinitesimal alongside the vast numbers that come in
later. Who's going to be in the Millennium? A little hand full. There
aren't going to be millions and millions, and millions, and hundreds of
millions, and billions, or whatever it is. Out of about six-billion
people, half of this earth over the ages. If you take one per million
you haven't got a…you got a fair number, but good heavens if the earth
is holding between three and four billion people now, on one fifth of
the earth's surface, what would it be like if you get all the earth's
surface back again, and there's no water? 

	It's like up in Canada, one person every straight three  square miles,
or four square miles. Oh, that's good, good, good, good.  (I almost got
carried with the good didn't I?)

24.	All right,  

		(7) 	The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted
					do sigh.

		(8) 	The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice
endeth, 						the joy of the harp ceaseth.

		(9) 	They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be
bitter to 					them that drink it.

		(10) 	The city of confusion is broken down: … (He's talking about
Babylon, 					end time Babylon.)

		(11) 	There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened,
the mirth 					of the land is gone.

		(12) 	In the city is left desolation, the gate is smitten with
destruction.

		(13) 	When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people,
there 					shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, the gleaning grapes
when the 					vintage is done.

		(14) 	They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty
of the 						LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

		(15) 	Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the
						LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

	Now, He tells you right there that God's Name will be glorified even at
the very end time. But evidently, He's not getting it. 

	Now:

		(16) 	From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even 	
				glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe 		
			unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, 					
the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

		(17) 	Fear, and the pit, and the snare, upon thee, O inhabitant of the
earth.

		(18) 	And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of
the 						fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the
midst of 					the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from
on high are 					open, (come on) and the foundations of the earth do
shake.  

 	Now, you come on, you know that's the end time. Revelation 10:
destruction and the whole bit.

		(19) 	The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved,
the 						earth is moved exceedingly.

		(20) 	The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be
removed 					like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be
heavy upon it; 						and it shall fall, and not rise again.

		(21) 	And (it'll) come to pass in that day, (saith) the LORD shall
punish the 					host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of
the earth upon 					the earth.

		(22) 	And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered
in the pit, 					(now, come on, that's the Book of Revelation all over
again) …shut up 					in the prison, and after many days shall they be
visited.

		(23) 	Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the
					LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, before
his 					ancients gloriously.

25.	 Now, he tells you what it is, that's the Bride when He's with them.
This is going on here. Now, let's keep reading: [Isaiah 25:] 

		(1) 	O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy
name; 						for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are
faithfulness 					and truth.

		(2) 	For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin:
a 						palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

		(3) 	Therefore, shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the
terrible 					nations shall fear thee.

		(4) 	For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the
needy in 						his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the
heat, when 					the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the
wall.

		(5) 	Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a
dry 						place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of
the 						terrible ones shall be brought low.

		(6) 	And in this mountain, shall the LORD of hosts make unto all
people 					a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat
things full of 					marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

		(7) 	And he will (not destroy by swallow up) in this mountain the face
						of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread
over 					all nations. (Watch what He's doing there, and then:)

		(8) 	He will swallow up death in victory; …

	Now, you see at this time of the Resurrection that this is taken place.
And you can see that this thing, is positively the Book of Revelation,
what God is crying out in the Book of Revelation. Now, we went back and
read that very portion. 

26.	Now, I want you to notice very carefully and clearly the double
theme. Verses 1-12, then 13-15 which I won't read, but you can read
yourselves. Then note the recognition of the double theme in verse 16.  
 

		(16) 	From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even 	
				glory to the righteous… 

	Now, that's one praising and glorifying God something like a revival
going on, a revival of going on.  

		(16)	…But I said, My leanness, my leanness…the treacherous dealers
						have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt 
					very treacherously.

	Now, in the one verse there's a screaming of "glory to God," and the
other bemoaning what's going on, which is destruction. And back and
forth in here is that theme.

27.	Now, what I want to show you then, how chapter 25 carries right on,
now verses 7-8.

		(7) 	And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering
cast 						over all people, and the vail that is spread over all
nations. (See?)

	Now, what is that? Well, let's read verse 8.

		(8) 	He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe 	
				away tears from off all faces; (even) the rebuke of his people shall
						he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

	Now, in verse 7 is revelation. He's going to remove the veil. Now,
that's in 2 Corinthians 3: It says right here.

		(15) 	But (until) this day, when Moses read, the vail is upon their
heart(s).

		(16) 	Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be
taken 						away.

		(17) 	Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there 					is liberty.

		(18) 	But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of
the 						Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
even as 					by the Spirit of the Lord.

	Now, God doesn't remove the veil, there's only one God not three gods,
how are you going to be changed?  

28.	This old lady came by the other day, I said, "Do you believe that
Jesus Christ the man sitting behind the Throne of God in the midst of
the Throne the Mercy Seat, that man up there is God?" 

	She said, "Yeah."

	"Well, (I said) I can prove you don't know your Bible. He's not a God,
the Bible says, 'There's one mediator between God and man, the man
Christ Jesus'. He's not God at all." [1 Tim 2:15] So, one of her gods
died. Then I showed her even the Trinitarians, (I know, I got the book
right there in my office at home) on Vincent. He proves and shows you
Ephesians chapter 4, the same Jesus that went up, came back as the Holy
Ghost. That got rid of two of them. (See?)  Revelation.

	[Isaiah 25:] 

		(7) 	(He will swallow up) …in this mountain (now come on, Mount
Zion) 					the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail
that is spread 					over all nations

	And you know, the harlot has gone to every nation? And you know that
religion got there before the harlot?  Have you ever read 'Hyslop's Two
Babylon's'? If you haven't read it, read it, and you'll find where the
missionaries were surprised that in China they had a slant eyed madonna
and son. The same thing’s in India, and all over the world. The
perversion of the true religion. 

		(8) 	(And) He will swallow up death in victory; …

	At that time when the veil is removed, the garment is put on, a Trumpet
sounds. What's he talking about?  You say, "How is it going to be done?"
(See?) Now:

		(9) 	And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have
waited 					for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have
waited for 						him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

	Now, It tells you right there that He evidently has to appear amongst
the people, but you still got to wait for something. Oh, what's He
doing? He's removing the veil. For what? For the Spirit of God to bring
in the liberty.

29.	Now, let's go back to 2 Corinthians 3: again, and find out what he's
talking about. No big puzzle here. No big deal. Now, It says here in
verse 6.

		(6) 	Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of
						the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the
spirit giveth 						life.

		(7) 	But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones,
was 					glorious, the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold
the face 						of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory
was to be 						done away:

		(8) 	How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather (more)
glorious?

                        (or incomparable) 

		(9) 	For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth 
					the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

		(10) 	For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this
respect, 					by reason of the glory that excelleth.

	Now, what's he talking about? Moses getting the law, and Paul getting
the Word by grace. So, what's the veil? The veil is a total
misunderstanding of the hour in which we live concerning Scripture as it
was back there in the days of Moses. See, even Jesus was comparing It,
rather. They couldn't even begin to turn their minds to the truth. They
were so completely bound up in the whole thing. They couldn't even begin
to look at it. The veil was over their faces, they were blinded. And
unless God removes the veil it was impossible. And the veil is still
over Israel, that's why they can't be saved, but a 144,000 will be. Now
you got the same thing, the veil over all nations. So, what's he talking
about? He's talking about the Word. So therefore, the last Trumpet has
got to be the last time the Word of God comes. And the Bible said
distinctly Hebrews the…

30.	Let's go back to Hebrews 12: (I'm going to wander this morning, and
forget my notes, I'll preach it next Wednesday night if I don't finish
it. But I'm not going to worry about that. I've got enough notes here
for a long time. I just keep dabbling. I like that better than anything,
I've more fun.) 

	Now listen: verse 25.

		(25) 	See that (you) refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped
not 					who refused him that (spoke) on earth, much more shall not we
escape, 					if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

		(26) 	Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised,
saying, 					Yet once more I shake… (it, he screamed and an earthquake
took place.) 

	When the Word of God was fulfilled, for the dead's got an earthquake
took place. Now, He says, He's going to shake it all down.

		(27) 	And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those		
			 things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those
things 						which cannot be shaken may remain.

		(28)	Wherefore we receiving a kingdom… 

	It tells you right there, this is just before the Millennium, God
removing the veil. See? (Now, I'll try to get through, because of my
thoughts run in continuity I don't want to mess them up.) 

31.	Now, the double theme, we brought out there and showed you about it.
Now, let's go a little further. We read, 16 is a recognition, the theme
down here revelation. Revelation leads us to verse 8, which is 1
Corinthians 15:54, and [Isaiah 25:] verse 9 

		(9) 	And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have
waited 					for him, he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited
for him, 					(we'll) be glad and rejoice in his salvation. (Notice the
double.)

	Now, in verse 9, this is our God we have waited for Him. When He
removes the veil, who will they see, but God. So, therefore Christ has
been obscured from all but the Very Elect at the very end time. So, this
is indeed the apocalypses, the unveiling of God. For the Holy Spirit has
been loosed from his creeds and dogmas, no longer bound. 

32.	Now, come on, let's go back to 2 Corinthians [3:] again, we're not
kidding you. Everything is bound right up here in the Scripture, it all
dovetails.

		(16) 	Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be
taken 						away. (When God grants repentance at the end time, then 				
		there's going to be a turning.)

		(17) 	Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there 					is liberty.

	And at that time of the liberty,

		(18) 	But we with open face beholding in a glass…

	Now, It says, "open face," there must have been a veil over the face.
Right? Now, the veil is taken away. What are you doing?  

		(18)	…beholding…	the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same
image 					from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

	And he tells you right there that we get our change after seeing Him.
That's what 1 John says, you see Him first, then you get your change.
"Oh, we've been waiting for Him." 

	"Oh, (you say) Bro. Vayle where do you find that waiting bit?" 

	Oh, I'm sure glad you asked, man I love these intelligent questions
that come forth as I preach up here. 

33.	 James 5:7

		(7) 	Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.
Behold, 					the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth,
long 						patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

		(8) 	Be ye also patient; … (wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.) 

	They couldn't wait until the real thing came along. They had every kind
of a lie. Every kind of this, and every kind of that. They couldn't
wait. "Wait for it," he said. And you say, "This is our God."

	You say, "Vayle, do you believe in one God?"

	"Sure do, that's my God."  Jesus is not God. Jesus per se, as the
resurrected human being is not God. He is the Son of God! He is the Son
of Man, the Intercessor, the Mediator, the Blood of God, but He is not
God. "Because I will pray the Father." And say He talked to Himself? One
God. I hope I got more love than old bishop Johnson.  That was his
trouble he didn't have much love, but boy, he was sure writing
Scripture. 

34.	 All right listen, [Isaiah 25:] verses 10 and 12.

		(10) 	For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab 	
				shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down 					
for the dunghill. (Phew …listen, that's spread like dung upon the
earth, 					spread like ashes.)

		(11) 	And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he
that 						swimmeth…(Uh?) And he shall spread forth his hands in the
midst 					of them, as he that swimmeth… and he shall bring down their
pride 					together with the spoils of their hands.

		(120 	And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls he bring down,
lay low, 					and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

	At that time, at that time of this occurring at the end time all these
things are taking place, that's why you have a double theme. That's why
"he that is holy, is holy still, and he that is unrighteous is
unrighteous still." [Rev 22: 11] That's why on one hand you're talking
about Babylon the Great, and at the same time you're talking about Him
the Holy of Holies. While you're seeing this thing that is failing the
eyes of all people a light breaks forth in the west, and uncovers Jesus
Christ Himself the apocalypses and the Word of God coming through flesh
beholding Him, we're beginning to get a change inside under the last
Trump. That's an inner garment. See how all Scripture weaves together?
It is so perfect.

35.	Now listen, It says here:

		(10) 	For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest…

	What's a mountain? It's a pyramid. (Uh?) It's true, absolutely, a
pyramid. What is a mountain peak? It’s a pyramid. Watch it slant up. A
mountain's got four sides, so has a pyramid. The one I've been on in
Tucson there in Arizona. You go right around the mountain. I would love
to buy a mountain up there just for the fun of it. How would I do it?
I'd have to haul my water up there, but I'd like either go into the
desert and sit by where there was a creek, and really it's not a creek
anymore and look at the rock formation. Or get one of those mountains
out there and just sit up there (you know) kind of like…I wouldn’t
see eagle, a crow sits up there too.

	And, ah ha, listen, just a pyramid. Not just a pyramid I wanted, but
something attracts me. Mountain's a pyramid, and a pyramid is New
Jerusalem, New Jerusalem's a Bride. I'm not running around being crazy
you know it's the truth here. The mountain of God. What is the Mountain
of God but Zion but New Jerusalem? What are we talking about except the
truth. There's many ways to express it.

		(11)	 (And now) he (spreads spreads) forth his hands to swim: …  

36.	All right what about swimming? Let's go to Ezekiel 47: see a little
about something to swim. This is all of the end time. Now: 

		(1) 	Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, 		
			behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house 					
eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, the 				
	waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at 					
the south side of the altar.

	Now, It said, "Here it is."

		(2) 	Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led 
					me (down) ... and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

	Oh man, every place the water is running out. 

		(3) 	And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth
eastward, 					he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through
the waters; 					the waters were to the ankles.

	Imaged, a thousand cubits went through just to the ankles. Splash,
splash, splash, splash, splash.

		(4) 	(And) he measured (another) thousand, and…waters were to the
knees… 

	Splash, splash, splash, another thousand.

		(4) 	…he measured (another) thousand; (and waters to the loins.    

		(5)	…waters to swim in, a river that could not (pass) over (it.)

		(6) 	And he said…Son of man, (do you see) this? (What do you see?) 	
				Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the 				
	(water.)  

	Now, let's read verse 12.

		(12) 	And by the river… 

	That's the river that came out of that great wonderful temple, and
Christ is our temple, riven side brought this water forth which is the
Word.

		(12)	And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that
side, 					grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither
shall the 						fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new
fruit according 						to his (month), because their waters they issued
out of the sanctuary: 					and the fruit shall be for meat, and the leaf
for medicine.

37.	All right, let's go back to Revelation 22:2.  What does It say?

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

	What's he talking about? He's talking about what's going to place a
Bride totally and wholly New Jerusalem. And without…right on this
earth at this time people standing right here, constituting a part of
New Jerusalem, which is right up at the very top. Remember, that's the
inverted pyramid like I mentioned that tornado that comes through the
land, the terrific spin, this terrific power is all concentrated there.
And you look back up there what happened in the back Ages are merely
floating around, calm, for the Spirit of God dealing, but down here
we're in the vortex of a tremendous, tremendous pull of something going
on mighty in the Spirit of Almighty God. God in His Word and backing His
Word, bringing It to pass right here at the end time. 

38.	Now, the next we look again at I Corinthians 15:55, (not that we've
exhausted that, but that's a far as we're going to go, it's exhausted
part of me.) The next thing concerning this changing in our bodies under
the last Trump.

		(55) 	O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

	And that took us back to Hosea 13:14, 

		(14) 	(And) I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will 			
		redeem them from death: (Christ paid, it wasn't paid before. 					
Something given based on the atonement but not into effect until 					
this time, and the power of death,) O death, I will be thy plagues; 				
	O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from 					
mine eyes.

	Now, It tells you right there that Paul is speaking of this change
here, where man can go to the Tree of Life and get immortality. And he
puts It here. Now again, you can't have a text without a context. So,
let's read starting at verse 12.

		(12) 	The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. (That's the
						context)

		(13) 	The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an 
					unwise son; for he should not stay long (or remain) in the place of
						the breaking forth of children. (See?)

	Now, let's get to this:

		(14) 	I will ransom them from the power of the grave; … (and so on.)
 

39.	Now, brother/sister, verse 14 is speaking of Ephraim. Who is
Ephraim? Ah, that's the thing we look for. So, we go back to Genesis 48:
Okay:  

		(17) 	And when Joseph saw his father laid his right hand upon the head
						of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand,
to 						remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.

	(Now, let's keep reading then:)

		(18) 	And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is
the 						firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.

		(19) 	And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it:
(Man, 					one prophet telling another prophet is a little bit
ridiculous, isn't it? 						His son telling his daddy. I know it, I know
it) he (shall also) become 					a people, and he be great: but truly his
younger brother shall be 						greater than he, and his seed shall
become a multitude of nations.

		(20) 	And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel
bless, saying, 					God make (you) as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he
set Ephraim 						before Manasseh.

	All right, not who makes up…all right just before we go any further,
we want to take verse 19 again.

		(19) 	…I know (he said) … but (he's) truly his younger brother
shall be 						greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of
nations.

40.	Now, we note Hosea 4:17 where he is first mentioned in the Book of
Hosea. Now, just keep your mind upon the fact that we found out who he
was. Let's go back to Hosea, (this time we hit chapter 4) and watch what
we read here: (This is where I might have started getting my thoughts
this morning, when began giving a little preamble, maybe might not
should have done it) 

		(17)	 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.

	Now, we ask a question, who was Ephraim's mama? And Egyptian. And
idolater. A Gentile. And no Hebrew blood should be ever mingled, but
Joseph's mingled his. God allowed it, and Ephraim types the Gentiles
coming in, because they are far greater in number than is Israel. See,
because "all Israel is not Israel." [Rom 9:6]   

	When they left, Egypt they couldn't wait to get hot in sin with
Midianite women. Like modern Twentieth Century Jezebel they couldn't
wait to get hot in sin with Midianite women. Like modern Twentieth
Century Jezebel's they were all there with their painted faces and
demonstrating their sexuality. And so, they got all the guys involved.
When the plagues came and Phinehas and killed two people caught in a sex
act, plunged them both through with the sword, and God stopped the
plague and said, "That boy is a good boy." 

41.  Now, I'm not advocating killing people, it's just a matter of fact
that you're not going to fool with God. The bastardization, the
mongrelization, the legitimization, call it, illegitimacy comes not
because two people meet and have a child. The original illegitimate
child was a wrong woman, married by the right man. Hmmm, that's makes
you think doesn't?  Well, keep your thoughts, it's alright, it's good
for you to think a little bit the odd time. Some people aren't just too
careful. You got any bachelors here, you better be careful. We got any
sisters here that are young, going to marry, you better be careful.
Because you see, he wasn't to have a Gentile girl. And he married one.

 	And you know what? He went back to idols. If the Gentile church today
under Rome is not in idolatry, then why don't you go home now and have a
good dinner, and forget to come back ever. Turn this into granary or
some little clubhouse or something, then don't waste your time. Because
you can type everything from Genesis clean through Revelation and see
where Revelation the Book that did, because of the Gentile bunch in
idolatry. And God tells us they're full of sorcerer's and idolatry. Your
Roman Catholic church is the greatest spiritist in the world, because
they prayed to the dead. How would you like to hire a dead man to work
for you? Save your money, it isn't worth burning a candle. His mother
was a Gentile. 

42.	Hosea 5:1-4

		(1) 	Hear this ye, O priests; and hearken, house of Israel; and give
ear, 						O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because
(you've) 						been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

	Look at that on how they're getting their converts. Forcing them. Do
you know that's what Rome did in South America? That's why you've got a
mess in Mexico. They held a gun to the head and they said, "Recant, you
become one of us."

	"Oh, (they said) that's easy, sure we're one of you."

	So, the put the Name of Jesus and saints on all their tin gods, and
went into witchcraft. It's a known fact many priests are in witchcraft.
Read Seabrook's book, the 'Magic Owl' sometime. The fellow that wrote
the 'Snake'. Not the 'Snake Pit', but the film based on it anyway. 

43.	All right listen: 

		(2) 	…revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a
						rebuker of them all.

		(3) 	I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O
Ephraim, 					thou (committed) whoredom, and Israel is defiled.

	Isn't that exactly what is said about Babylon? 

		(4) 	They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the
spirit 					of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not
known the 					LORD.

	Yet, if they hadn't known Him, we're talking about the Gentile church,
and He's got to Appear can be known. (Uh?) Because you got to know Him
as He is. 1 Corinthians 13: says you're going to know Him as He is. And
that's the time when all the prophecies are fulfilled, perfection is
come. Don't tell me the Old Testament is not full of New Testament. 

		(6)	They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the
LORD; 					but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself… 

44.	Now, let's go over here to see the very same pictures I've been
talking about in the Book of Revelation chapter 17:

		(1) 	And there came one of the seven angels (that) the seven vials,
and 						talked with me, saying, Come hither; (I'll show you) unto the 
					judgment of the great whore that (sits) upon many waters:

		(2) 	With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and 
					the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of 
					her fornication.

		(3) 	So, he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I
saw a 					woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of
blasphemy, 					having seven heads and ten horns.

		(4) 	And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and
decked 					with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden
cup in her 					hand full of abominations and filthiness of her
fornication:

		(5) 	And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON 				
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS (mama with her daughters, 				the)
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

	There you are, the stinking mess. You see, it’s at this time, the end
time, of the total depravity of the world that a Bride is going to stand
there to be changed in her very genes. Yes sir, praise God, the very
gene I said, because though Bro. Branham thinks of that one gene and
they talk about souls.   I'm talking now about your natural chromosome,
your genes and natural chromosome. Your whole body is going to get
changed. And the life won't be in the blood either. Life is going to be
in the Holy Ghost. That's our trouble right now, the life is in the
blood. If you ever get the life back where it belongs, praise God we're
in good shape. I'll put it in the body that's great, it's going to take
another body to get it though.

45.	All right, now back to Hosea 13:12-13 

		(12) 	The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.

		(13) 	The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an 
					unwise son; (Haw haw, what about the end time, wise and unwise 				
	or what? Virgin, speaks of the wise and unwise.) for he (shall) not 			
		stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.

	Okay, verse 12, iniquity is perversity. You can't tell them anything.
Remember Bro. Branham's vision when he had about that woman was being
beaten up by that man with a great big club? And he said, "That was a
Trinitarian doctrine knocking her down, and that minister was the
husband the denominations which she was born into." Can't tell them
anything. No, there's no way you can tell them anything. Don't waste
your time. If you talk two times they don't listen, forget it! Do you
think the Word of God is like your word and mine you got to talk, talk,
talk, plea, plea, plea, talk, talk, talk, plea, plea, plea, argue,
argue, argue, beg, beg, beg?  And finally take over whap, whap, whap. Or
you boot your wife out, and knock you kids on the head. [Someone says,
Amen] 

	Thank you. I mean it. You're not dealing with some bunch of junk here,
some little two-bit thing, you're dealing with a God Who wrote this
Book, the Word that made the world and takes care of it. Not one thing
in nature out of continuity, except when man messes up. And all things
pure to the pure in heart. Oh, what a day that’s going to be, and
nothing by self is unclean or impure. What makes it that way? Man's
stinking intelligence, so called. That’s why the Spirit of wisdom has
got to come back in the Church. I don't care how smart a person is.
(Fap!) What's that got to do with it, he's going to die one of these
days. Aw, good riddance to bad rubbish. (See?)

46.	Iniquity, perversity, can't tell them a thing. Bound up, cramped,
come to an end, cup filled. And he will not remain in the place of the
breaking forth of children. The word 'breaking forth' denotes a union
with, as contending and striving with. And the word 'children' means
'first born'.  Ephraim will...the Gentile world will not stand still.
They won't stand still at this time to hear the Word of the Lord at the
time when the dead come out of the grave. They won't listen. It's just
what Billy Graham told them flat, he said, "If the Holy Ghost is taken
out of the world they'd still have altar calls, he wouldn't miss them
one little bit." You still have your little feelings.

	And so, Bro. Branham comes along and said, "The rebirth is without
sensation, without evidence and signs and things." And this guy from
Michigan comes to comes, "Well, Bro. Vayle you hurt my feelings when you
said, 'when I asked you if Bro. Branham said that, how do you feel if
they speak in tongues'?"  

	I said, "Suspicious." 

	Well, I'm not to have a certain pain here and I get to say, "Boo, boo."
"… you don't have a thing to say."

	"Now, just a minute buddy, you better get a new diagnosis here kid." 

	I got that pain. So, then he, "I ain't got what you're telling me I
got, or vise a versa, I got something else." 

	You folk won't talk in tongues. It's okay to talk in tongues at a
meeting. You shut the door (you know) and you receive and see what
something happens. Or you can talk to yourself under your breath. That's
legitimate. Anything else illegitimate.

47.	He wouldn't stand still. Gentile world church will not stand still
for uniting time, of Bride and Groom, and will not strive to enter in
but go its own way. Philippians 3:10-11. Now let's watch It. Now come
on. I didn't write the Book, I just preach It. And I got to preach what
the Book says, I'm not worried. Now, see at what It says here, 10-11.

		(10) 	That I may know him, (even) the power of his resurrection,
(that's 						the one he spoke back there in Ephesians) and the
fellowship of his 					sufferings, (and) being made conformable unto his
death;

		(11) 	If by any means I might attain unto the (out) resurrection (from
amongst) 					the dead.

	The man said, "No price is too great to pay at the end time when the
righteous are coming forth, the first born are coming forth." In other
words, he stood there, you couldn't pull him away. But you get somebody
like all Pentecost came flocking to Bro. Branham, but as soon as he
said, "No one is preaching it." 

	Said, "[makes a sound]"

	 "…and one God."

	Said, "Oh boy, …?... he's a terrible guy."

	And serpent seed!

	"Ahh, oh hoy,"

	They thought it was some great big four footed hairy beast that raped
her. Have you ever seen a hairy snake?  Oh, come on, he was smooth. Like
Bro. Branham said, "Don't worry about that country hick." I would right
now, because the country hicks have all changed.

	He said, "That city slicker." 

	Well, that was back in Bill's day, Bro. Branham's day. Lord, he was way
back there (you know) I was just a little bit behind him. I had my queer
ideas too. Not that his idea was clear, but let's face it, it wouldn't
hold anymore. The people in the city have all moved out in the country.
[Bro. Vayle laughs] They all moved out to the country.

48.	All right listen, Romans 8:21-22.

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

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

	In other words, the Bride right now is a travail. She's not all hepped
up like a million dollar merry-go-round with colored lights and a
ferris-wheel. Like the church out there that says, the guy says, "I got
Jesus that's all it takes." Sure, that's all it takes if you got the
real Jesus. But if you think you got God in Jesus you're all warped,
because He's not God, he's a man. And brother, He'd better be a man. I
tell you flat, He had better be a man, because I ain't taking no chance
with God, I just lay that flat.  If you think you can take a chance with
God, you're a billion times better than I am. And you're a million times
better than Bro. Branham, because he saw Jesus as a man. And I thought
he was a pretty fine fellow.

	I thought men like [Jonathan] Goforth, was a great fine man too, but
they must have understood certain things. I tell you what, you go deep
in the lives of some of these men, you think we're just old fundamental
babies. You get to really reading what they really believe. They were
wondering, and looking at things, it wasn't their time to see it
revealed. But they're wondering and looking at it. Goforth, and healing
and all these things, date back in Luther's day. Examining is there one
God, two gods, or three gods?  Don't worry brother/sister, when a man
truly full of the Holy Ghost, 

	…those …?... he's got to watch, but if it's not ready for the hour.
If it's not ready for the veil to come off, you ain't going to pull it
off. You ain't going to do it. You can't do it, because Jesus is going
to do it. We'll talk about that in a minute.

49.	Now, he says here, "Ephraim couldn't stand still during that
period." When Bro. Branham preached a certain sermon he said, "They'll
send ten thousand of my friends away from me." So, I hear there's so
many thousands in this Message. "Got to shake them off."  I'll tell you
one thing, let that squeeze come down, we will know, and I will know,
and you will know if we can take it. 

	Strive, Ephraim wouldn't stand still. The world church wouldn't stand
still. It won't stand still. Fundamentalist will not stand still. The
Gentile church will not stand still, until those sons come forth they
can't do it. You see, it's under the last Trump. It's the washing of the
garment. It's the Word of Almighty God, the investiture, the placing.
They won't stand still.

50.	All right, we see the hour, and we see what is going on. Now, to go
a step further, and He said,  I brought the Bride (Wednesday night I
mentioned) that brought the Bride in the picture showing that she was
being brought into subjection to Jesus Christ. And that's why we started
in                             1 Corinthians 11: to get to chapter 15:
talking in here: [Chapter 11:]

		(1) 	Be (you) followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

		(2)	(And) I praise you, brethren, that (you) remember me in all
things, 						(now, he said) and keep the ordinances, … (that's where
the following 					Paul was, the ordinances.)     

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

51.	 Now, putting the church in order. So, that even the flesh is now
coming into subjection at this very time in which we live. Now, you may
not feel like it. Ah ha, you're going by feeling. You can't go by
feeling. Abraham had a promise. "You and Sarah are going to have a
child." Five minutes, or one minute before that time when he was turned
back and she was turned back, that was the lowest time of their whole
lives, because they were the oldest.  They didn't feel like it, they
certainly didn't feel like it. When you don't feel like it, there's no
act there to be consummated. He could not do anything and she could not
do anything. (See?) Now, where are you going to go with feelings? 

	Like David, the desire for women left him. He was so cold dying, and
old they put a virgin on one side and a virgin on the other side and he
didn't touch either one of them. No desire. We're talking pretty plain,
but that's just the way we're looking at it this morning.

	Bro. Branham said, "No sensation." No sensation. In other words, you
can't go by feelings. In other words, you cannot direct a feeling and
placed it by a feeling. You might have got the wrong feeling. It won't
work. What feeling did Sarah have? Opposite feeling, she laughed. When
He said, "This is the year that Sarah is going to have a baby." She got
mad, that news must have gone around the whole world, she didn't
recognize who He was. Man, that news must have got a hold of the world.
I wish Abraham would have shut his mouth about that Angel talking to
him. So, she laughed, Bro. Branham said up her sleeve, but there's a
hole in the elbow. Why did Sarah laugh? 

52.	All right, the change is according to 1 Corinthians 15:51

		(51) 	Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, (we're)
all 						(going to) be changed,

	We go to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, we read:

		(20) 	…now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first
fruits of 						them that slept. (Now, we're talking about coming under
a subjection.)

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

		(22) 	For as in Adam all die, (in identical manner) in Christ all made
						alive.

	In other words, there won't be one son in Adam lost. Praise God. If
they go to the White Throne  judgment, don't you worry, they're going to
make it.

		(23) 	…every man in his own order: (there you are) Christ the first
fruits;					(He was a man) afterward they that are Christ's at his
(Parousia).

	At His very Presence. He's got to be there to raise those bodies, (Uh?)
Absolutely, so that's the time you got see Him to get your change. You
got to see Him first, then get your change. Because you're going to see
Him as He is. Now, where does it leave you fundamental doctrine? Knocked
on the head.

		(24) 	Then (comes) the end, (now this I believe is an interpolation to
a degree) 					when he shall have (notice a future perfect) 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.

53.	Now, over here It doesn't say he's destroyed, It said he's swallowed
up. So therefore, at the Parousia the Presence, you will get the
swallowing, because He is there Present to raise the dead. And who is
going to change us by the way? We'll find that in Philippians, we read
in Philippians. We'll go back to It shortly.

		(26) 	The last enemy…destroyed is death. (But that's not
destruction, it's 					a swallowing.)

		(27) 	For he hath put all things under (him, whoever the he is, has
put 						everything under Jesus) But when he (says) all things are
under him, 					it is manifest that he (who put all things under him
which God) is 						excepted, (or left out) which did put all things
under him.

		(28) 	And when all things shall be (not…well, I'll used the word
'subdued', 					then I'll tell you about it) subdued unto him, then
shall the Son also 					himself be subject unto him that put all things
under him, that God 						may be all in all.

		(29) 	Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, …

	Now, this is part of the Resurrection and your hope. And it's like an
interpolation there. I admit it. But let's read 20-23 again.

		(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 own order: Christ the first fruits;
afterward they 					that are Christ's at his (Presence, His Parousia.
See?)

	Now, you want to remember that. Keep that in your thoughts. (See?)

54.	Now, with verse 28.

		(28) 	And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the
Son 						himself be subject (or subdued) unto him that (subdued) all
things 						(unto) him, …

	That's actually the same word used three times in a row. Well, you know
they kind of got the idea in English you should never use the same words
twice. "She's a beautiful, beautiful girl." No, she's a beautiful
charming girl." The English language you know. Fap! Why don't you use
the same word three times in a row? It's the same word. Subject,
subject, subject, so call it that, it should be.

	Now, the word 'subdue' should not be called 'subdue'. Because the word
'subdue' in the Bible is where you literally go out and subdue somebody,
like nations were subdued. This is to make subject. See, it's a
different thing entirely.

55.	Now, with it we read Philippians 3:10-14 again. We showed you this
on Wednesday night. (Oh, we're doing charming, we're doing charming,)
Okay.

		(10) 	That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, the
fellowship 					of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his
death;

		(11) 	If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the
dead.

	Now, you notice that this here speaking is the same as Romans 8: where
he links the manifestation of sons of God to suffering and
glorification. And glorification is the Resurrection. So therefore, if
this Age does not suffer, something's wrong somewhere. If a squeeze
doesn't come down, something is wrong somewhere. The fundamentalist got
it all made up, we're going to have a happy, happy, hallelujah, glory,
glory time, even if there's three and a half years, (that you know) the
antichrist is just fixing to (you know) kind of knock things on the
head. And then we'll be caught in the middle of seven years. The middle
of seven years is already gone. Because It says, there's seventy,
sixty-nine is in, and seventy had to follow as far as I know the
numbers. And I think I'm pretty fair at numbers. I can count 65, 66, 67,
68, 69, 71. Oh, I missed one, didn't I? Well, I'm not stupid it's 69,
70. After 69 came 70. The middle of the week He's cut off. So, half of
the week's gone. You do what you want with it. The prophet was right,
the rest of the people were just guessing and gassing. 

56.		(11) 	If by any means I might attain the (out) resurrection (from
among) 						the dead.

		(12) 	Not as though I had already attained, either were already
perfect: but 					I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which
also I am 						apprehended of Christ Jesus.

	Now, he says right here Christ apprehended Him, and He knows He's going
to get what He's apprehended for, there's something on His part. A
stamina to stand with…what was required at the end time.

		(13) 	Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one 	
				thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching 	
				forth unto those things which are before,

		(14) 	I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God
in 						Christ Jesus. 

	In other words, I'm calling is to be right into New Jerusalem, I'm
pressing into It the way I should.

57.  Now, recalling that verse 10-14 is the First Resurrection, we're
going to read on to 21.

		(15) 	Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if 
					anything be otherwise minded, God (should) reveal (it) even 					
unto you.

	Now, that's for the Bride, see.  Paul said, "If you don't understand
this,” he said, “ God will reveal It to you.”

		(16) 	Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk
(with) 						the same rule, let us mind the same thing. (Now, he's
telling you 						right here there will be a walk with the truth.)

		(17) 	Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk 
					so as ye have us for an ensample.

		(18) 	(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you 
					even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

		(19) 	Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose
glory 					is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

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

		(21) 	Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like
unto 						his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is
able even 					to subdue all things unto himself.

58.	Now, I want to ask you a question here: Who is doing the subduing?
God is doing the subduing. But you notice, He's called Lord Jesus
Christ, isn't He? Well come on, now where do you get the title the Name
Lord Jesus Christ? Right here! Because that's His Name.

	Because It says in 1 Corinthians, God does it! The same as It raised
Jesus. The subduing is all done by God Who is Eternal Spirit. So now
what is the Presence that comes down?  God comes down. Yes, I said, "God
comes down."  And I've explained It, and I'll explain It again. 

	If Adam had sired everyone of us, and one male ejaculate could do it as
far as understand biology is all about, and he stood there and you saw
the family of six billion kids, and you go to the sixth billion kid and
say, "There's Adam."

	I'd say, "Oh boy, you have got to be sicker than I am, and brother am I
sick."  They had vomiting and dysentery and cramps in his legs, but that
ain't nothing to what you and I got to be theologically if we're that
stupid. God sired every born again child, but when God Himself came down
He stood there. 

59.	And the Bible says that God's Presence, the Parousia, He's going to
come down and do the subduing, the subjecting. He's going to change our
vile bodies. Then Who came back? The Holy Ghost came back. That's why I
keep on hammering on the Parousia, because people are still messed up.
If I go to preach in churches, they’re not fourteen and a half years
after they don’t understand Bro. Branham said, "Justification,
sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost. You Lutheran's potentially
had it, you Wesleyan's, you Pentecost, but now He is here." 

	Well, He must have been here before. Then our bunch turned around and
said, "Well, nobody had the real Holy Ghost."  Oh, for God's sake, are
you crazy. How did you get here? You didn't have a father. All you folk
didn't have a father. Who's was the parents you loved? Who's the parents
some of you still look at? You don't have a father.  You now, need a
father. No wonder I lose my mind and get fussing up here. I don't mean
to fuss at you. But if is see vitriol, and begin spitting tacks you know
exactly why spit tacks. We're not idiots. We're not a bunch of boobs.
The Holy Ghost enlightening, can't we tell differences?

 	A preacher went to Toronto, he used to be a very good buddy of mine.
He took away everything they had to give him the real Holy Ghost.
Hogwash! You're either born again or not born again. The He stand
amongst us revealing Himself setting Himself at the Head of the Church.
We'll talk about that, prove the Scripture to raise the dead. Because
He, God, Holy Ghost is putting everything under Jesus' feet! It is!
Except God Himself and Jesus sits on… the Lamb on the apex the
pinnacle of New Jerusalem right at the Penthouse. Hallelujah, He's in
the Penthouse. And above Him is the Pillar of Fire, God veiled in the
Pillar of Fire. There's your Scripture brother/sister. That's it, "Who
shall change our vile body."    

60.	 Now, let me show you something here. The word in subjection is…
(oh boy, whatever it is, who thought it so,) which strange to say is a
military. Are the bells ringing? Not yet? They will in a second. It's a
military term, meaning 'to rank under'. 

	Back to 1 Corinthians 15:27

		(27) 	For he hath put all things under his feet…. (And) when he
saith all 						things are put under him, (that's, for he hath
subjection all things 						under his feet.)

	And when he says, "All things are subjected to Him," it is manifest
that He is not, He's left out the One Who did the subjecting. That's why
God is the Head of Christ. Christ is the Head of man, and man's a head
of woman. Now, come on now, we've got a military term being used here.
"Hup, step it up wife, get behind the man." [given as a command]

	Oh, I could say some nice dillies here right now, but some of you are
not now convicted by now, forget it. You're too late to be convicted.
Why do you think Sis. Branham got that tumor growing for saying one word
in the prophet's presence? Temporary healing is all she got, had to have
it taken out. "Hup, one- two-three," come on military terms, has a
military command! God! Christ! Man! Woman! A woman can't pray when her
head's covered. Cut your hair, you can't pray.

	"Oh," (you say) Bro. Vayle, I can get away with it."  You poor
benighted people, don't you know at the end time God pours His Spirit on
even a jackass? Pardon the expression, but everybody can receive an
anointing. "I'll pour my Spirit upon all (a- double-l) flesh, and your
sons and your daughters, and my women and my men." [Acts 2:17] The Roman
filthy Catholic church, pope speak in tongues. Don't say it's the devil,
you're entirely wrong, it's a genuine anointing of the Holy Ghost,
because it's just a gift, It is not the giver. (See?) 

61.	 That's why I said He sets the Church in order. Starting right back
to you follow me, I'm going to set it in order right now. Bro. Branham
did his best to set it in order, because the woman types that church.
And man doesn't go under, God either. I'm not going to give the man a
carte blanche here for one minute. I tell you one thing, let's get this
straight, I've said it weeping in other pulpits, "But Jesus Christ
stands as a husband to do one thing, and that to pull out of His wife
everything that's beautiful and wonderful."

	But too often men stand around and just knock her down, and she'll
stand around and pull out everything she can get out of him. Are you
getting close to types now and see how things work? So, some of you hot,
hotshot men, what are you bringing out of your wives? What did I bring
out of my wife? Nothing out of her really, it was too good except I did
get her to the Word. That's about all I can say in that respect. But you
should have known her when she was real young. It took me to about kill
everything in her. (Yeah) I won't say anything else. My daughter's
present, so I'm not going to say any more.

	I'll tell you, Bro. Branham said, "She's the girl, kind of girl to
marry." And brought it all out of her what was in her.  Who brought
anything out of her? 

62.	 Preach it Bro. Vayle, let's get down this morning where's there's a
little silence in the church, and people understand a few things. We
fail, but God doesn't. Let me tell you, you gals haven't got enough guts
to be subject, you ain't got enough guts for anything else. And you men
haven't got enough guts for leading, you haven't got enough guts for
anything else either. Goes all ways. (Yep)

	Oh, we haven't had none happy marriages, over very unhappy, because
she's been so good to me. I've been happy, if she hasn't that's her
tough luck. I prayed, but she didn't. [Bro. Vayle chuckles] She couldn't
help anyway.

63.	All right listen, Subjection, military, ranking three times in verse
27, three times in verse 28. Perfect, God works in threes. [1
Corinthians 15:]

		(28) 	And when all things shall be (subject) unto him, then shall the
Son						 also himself be subject unto him that put all things under
him, that 					God may be all in all.   

  HYPERLINK

C"    	Now, three times every time. Now watch closely in verse 28. It
does not say that Jesus Himself doing the subjecting, but God is doing
it. 

	In Philippians 3:20-21 the very same thing. And in Paul making this
statement does not explain how the subjection takes place, but he says
who does it. And the 'who' of 1 Corinthians cannot differ from
Philippians. And the explanation is in 1 Corinthians 15: which we keep
on reading in a moment. 

		(51) 	Behold, I (show) you a mystery; …  

		(52) 	In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: …

64.	What is the last Trump? He's talking to Gentiles, Revelation 10:7.
"The days of the Voice." Let's go back to read It, the last messenger.
It says right here:

		(7) 	But in the days of the voice of the seventh (messenger), when he 
					shall begin to sound, …

	How many messengers are there? Seven. What's the seventh? He's the
last. What's the last Trumpet of the Gospel? Last trumpeter, last
messenger.

		(7)	…the mystery of God should be (perfected and concluded… Do 			
		you follow it?)

	First Corinthians 13: Hebrews 6: Philippians 3: everything right down
the line. And he's telling you about it. And he's telling you flat. 

		(7)	(At that time) …the mystery of God should be (perfected,
concluded) 					as he hath declared (the good news of the Gospel) to his
servants 						the prophets. 

	That's literal translation. It's all over, the Gospel's gone, there's
no more to come. And that last Word, and why does that man have the
Word, or does the Word come in this hour to change it? Because It is the
last Word, and the last thing to get is the change. And once you're
changed, you've got it made honey. Nothing is going to hold you here,
nothing is going to keep you past the three and a half years of the
Wedding Supper. You come on back again. Nothing will keep you from
sitting in the Throne at the Great White Throne. Nothing will keep you
from being in New Jerusalem. Nothing will keep you from glorifying God.
As a Bride serves her husband through all eternity, while others bring
their glory in. Nothing is going to stop you, and they'll know we're
under heaven, you can't do it. 

65.	All right, let's keep going, now watch: a military term for 'rank'.
The Church under the Word. The five-fold ministry under the Word. The
people under the Word. That is the Word to the trustees, or the deacon,
to the elders, right down the line. To the women, to the children,
everybody. Answer their question. Put the whole thing in order. God
placing His Bride, changing her very flesh. 

	Now, let's watch how it's done. Again 1 Thessalonians 4:15, 

		(15) 	For we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are 	
				alive and remain unto the (Presence) of the Lord shall not (go
before) 					them which are asleep.		

		(16) 	For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, …


	And the word 'shout' is a military command, "get in line, or miss it!"
Military command, military rank. In other words, under military rule you
go in that street they shoot you. Oh, how we hate it up here in America,
we the land of the free. Oh, the wonderful Yankees. Oh yeah, we got it
made.

66.	Little kid down in Guatemala someplace goes in the street gets shot
down. "Hgh, hgh, hgh." Because we didn't do it inside.  You get a lawyer
and defraud the widow, so the kids starve. "Oh, ho, ho, ho, you know how
things are." Dirty bunch of creeps. I'm trying to show you something.
Military command, so get the kid off the street. So, the kid goes on the
street, he gets killed. 

	God said to Israel, "You got a disobedient son, won't obey you, bring
him before the elders, they'll stone him for you." The whore gets hail
stones for being a whore. Hail stones, a hundred pounds fall on her,
help destroy the world.  Fire comes down, because the whore, whores. 

	I didn't write the Book, I preach It. Bro. Branham had a vision of the
Bride. He heard rock and roll music and the filthiest cruddiest looking
dame ever came up to you in your life. He said, she was dressed in grey
colored garment like newspaper like a hula-hula skirt, or something you
know sarong or, whatever you call that junk. And here she is flipping
herself around, and he said, "Oh God, if this is the best we've
produced, (he said) no wonder we're fit for hell." Then he said, "Pretty
soon we heard a strange other song, sung, "On Ward Christian Soldier,"
He said, "The most beautiful little group began coming up."  

	Group number one dressed in foreign clothes, the next group up and the
other groups. And at the very tail of the end line he recognized the
ones he was with. Because…he wouldn’t tell me their names, but he
told Billy Paul a couple names. 

67.	 "Get in line!" Now, how is any man going to tell someone else to
get in line? Do you think I could tell you to get in line? Come on! I
haven't enough on the ball to get anybody in line, let alone myself.
There's only one thing a person can tell somebody else, what did God
say?  Then you got a Paul, like I was over there in Utah one time, and I
was down in the restroom in the restaurant, and I see this guy and he's
smoking a cigarette. And so, I finally said, "Hey, what religion are
you?"

	And he said, "I'm Mormon."

	I said, "A boy smoking a cigarette?"

	"Well, (he said) I'm not a very good one."

	"Well, (I said) why be a Mormon at all if you can't be a good one?"

	I was just kidding him a bit you know. He was you call a 'Jack Mormon',
drink beer and all that kind of stuff. We've got a lot of Jack
Christians too. Jack rabbits, haw! Got to run them down. (See?)

	"Get in line." How we might ask, is this going to be done? How is God
going to do, He's changing our very flesh at this moment. He is doing
with the military command. And remember, it is not…and the military
command brother/sister when It says here, the Shout. It is not said to
be the very Voice of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. It is somebody
else's voice He is using, and Bro. Branham described It.  But when It
said, "The Voice of the archangel," that's a different thing entirely.
That's His. He's going to raise the dead. How, because He's the Holy
Ghost come down, the Lord Jesus Christ. He's identified with man.

 	Now, It is subject to the Word of God. All things were made by Him.
And all things are made by Him and maintained, and this is that hour of
the Resurrection. So therefore, the Word of Promise will come to pass in
our lives, not somebody else's. Now, I think this is what I was getting
from the Lord this morning. Talking a little…in my thought there about
the woman. 

68. So, for a moment we're going to go back to Ephesians 5: 

		(1) 	Be ye followers of God, as dear children; 

		(2) 	…walk in love, … 

		(3) 	(Let no) fornication… (and those things be part of you.)

		(5) 	For (we) know, that no whoremonger, unclean person, (or) covetous
					man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of
(God) 					and of (Christ).

		(6) 	Let no man deceive you with vain words: …

	Now, at this place he is quoting over there in Revelation 22: and down
below in verse 6, he is quoting from Thessalonians, of the deceiver
coming on the scene, to deceive with vain words, vain words that cannot
be fulfilled. The prophet stood up and every time he said they were
fulfilled. Other men stood up and they were not fulfilled. Then who was
the one who had the vain words? And who had the true words? Come on,
let's get honest with the Word of God this morning brother/sister. We're
not babies anymore.

		(7) 	(Don't partake) with them. (He said, "Get away from them.")

		(8)	For (you) were sometimes darkness, but now are (now) light…

	And that's the same with the theme over in chapter 4, and you heard me
talk about It.

		(9) 	(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness
and 						truth;)

		(10) 	Proving what is acceptable (of) the Lord.

		(11) 	And (don't have) fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but 					reprove them.

		(12) 	(…It's) a shame even to speak of those things which are done
of 						them in secret.

		(13) 	But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:


	Oh, when did the light shine? This church says this, and that church
says that. And somebody else says something else. Come on, when did it
shine? Who are you going to go to? Methodist church?  Fap, I was in it.
Presbyterian? Left it when I was a kid. Baptist church? Had my full of
it. Pentecost?  Forget it.  Independent? No dice. Who am I going to go
to? 

		(13)	…for whatsoever (maketh) manifest is light.

69.	 In other words, what comes right out there…and you can view it,
which is that Light shining from the east to the west. Which means it's
universal, at appearing. Now, bring it to that.

		(14) 	Wherefore he (said), Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from
the 						dead, (amongst the dead) and Christ (will) give (you) light.

	Christ will shine upon you. That's your epiphanea, but they try to make
it a rapture or something when you get up there. Now, the command is to
the individual. "Wake up, smarten up, get away from al that dead stuff,
come out of Egypt." Get away from the creeds and dogmas the harlotry.

		(15) 	…walk circumspectly, not as fools, …

		(16) 	Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

		(17) 	Wherefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the 
					Lord is.

		(18) 	(Don't be) drunk with wine, … (and so on.) 

		(19) 	Speaking to yourselves in psalms…

	Now listen, watch verse 21.

		(21) 	Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

		(22) 	Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, … 

	And then he goes right on to the church as a Bride with Christ as the
Headship. In other word, at the time of awaking when Christ appears on
earth there is a time when that church wants to place itself in
subjection to the Word. And the key is in the mind, repent, repent,
repent. Change, change, change. "Because a man thinketh, so is he."
[Prov. 23:7] And if your thoughts are lined up exactly with Almighty
God, the true revelation He Appears as He did, and you apprehend that
revelation with what Paul said, "I want to apprehend that vision that I
caught of Him." That Word, stimulated on fire, he'd have got his change,
but it wasn't time. Sorry about that. 

 	 You can have all the resurrection faith you want in the Word, but
it's not the hour of the Resurrection, you just sit here and wait. Don't
go shooting your face off what you got, because it's all potential. Just
potential. It's here, but you got to wait until He raises the dead.
Because look it, if He's not…if He hasn't set himself as Head of the
Church and He's not Head, He can't raise the dead, because they cannot
be made perfect without us. They can't be finished. They're finishing
takes place when they're glorified, our finishing also is in there. Our
finishing for glorification is going on right now. That Word in us. Yes
sir! 

70.	 Now, then see [Ephesians] 4:17-24, after Paul brings them up to the
fullness of the Church, the perfection.

		(17) 	…Therefore, (I say unto you) in the Lord, henceforth (you)
walk 						not as Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

		(18) 	…the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of
God 					through the ignorance in them, … 

	If our minds are darkened the ignorance of God there's no life in us.
The life in us. That’s why Bro. Branham said, "The evidence of the
Holy Ghost, the life in you is the fact you go to Word."

		(19) 	…being past feeling given themselves (to) lasciviousness, to
work 						all uncleanness with greediness. 

	The two major sins of the hour, immorality and money. Greed. Come on,
think it over, I'm preaching you the Word of God, that's Laodicea,
chapter three of Revelation.  Now listen:

		(20) 	(You) have not so learned Christ; (You have sought not to learn 
					Christ.)

		(21) 	If so be (you) heard him, and have been taught by him, as the
truth 						is in Jesus

	He said right here, That Jesus Himself came down and gave that truth.
And as He gave it, that was Christ talking to them. When did they hear
Jesus? They heard Paul. But he came here, they listened.  

71.	 Now he said:

		(22) 	…put (it) off (put off the old behavior, and so on…) which
is corrupt 					according to the deceitful (flesh, pleasures.) 

		(23) 	And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

		(24) 	And put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness 					and true holiness.

	And I'm going to tell you, that's not just a new man in you where
you're just a new living person. I believe he's talking right here, that
which follows and subsequent to the hour in which the church is fully
make up of all the Bride, but not yet completely child trained. Yes sir,
I believe that with all my heart. And he said at that time, the renewing
of your mind by the Word of Almighty God is going to bring a
transformation in you; which will give you your glorification.

	Now, I'm going to quit the rest of that. Just say this one thing
there's too many notes here left to do. I want to get you out. I want to
say what the patriarchs of old, "We shall not die, but live." A man
raised his voice said, "I shall not die but live." 

	Job stood there and said, "I may die, there's one thing I know I'm
going to see God in my flesh and walk on this earth." [Job 19:26b] How
do you know it? He didn't know by somebody telling him. He knew it from
God Himself. It's true. He knew from God Himself.

72.	Now, we shall not die but live, for we have seen the One Who was
once veiled, and we were veiled from Him. But God said as soon as the
veil is removed, it's got to turn to the Holy Spirit, because there's no
place else to go.

	See, brother/sister when you realize you're wrong and you came out,
then you got into that place without knowing where you were going. Then
why would you look for something else if you really came out and you
really saw God? Couldn't do it. If He's really Appeared, if He's really
Appeared brother/sister, let me tell you, and you don't know it now.
there's something going on. There's something going on. A great thing
that's going on, whether you and I know it or not. Is the flesh is now
becoming truly subject and the Bride becoming truly subject to Almighty
God. 

	That's the thing that I was trying to pick up on Sunday and couldn't do
it. I'm misunderstood between the pull of the Resurrection, but it's
still the pull in the direction of the Resurrection. What I was seeing
Sunday and try to come out Wednesday, I can clearly see this morning.
I'm not a prophet, but I do pick up things. And what I was picking up
was what I'm trying to tell you now. You might not know, and I might not
know it, because we're discouraged in many places and we look at
ourselves and say, "Look after having seen it looks like a hopeless
case."

	But listen, It doesn't say that. It says, "Once you see Him, He, the
Holy Ghost will bring your flesh in to subjection, which means, you will
become immortal, you will go to the Tree. Because it was the in
subjection that kept him from the Tree while he was in the flesh. Now
these subjections will take us to the Tree and change us and take us on.
You follow me?  That's what we're talking about in three sermons. The
Lord bless you, shall we rise.

	Gracious Eternal God, we thank You that we can clearly see through the
glass and not darkly, we may have to make several attempts to get to see
where we were going, but we know we're so fallible, but You are so good
and infallible that You come right behind and pick up the pieces and put
them together. So, we're very appreciative this morning, Lord, to
understand what You were trying to show us, to give the people a greater
faith. Not a resurrection faith at this moment, and that's going to take
You to bring them forth, but to give them the faith and the
understanding that now is that moment which is going on within them that
will clearly allow them to be changed when the dead come forth.

	So therefore, we are in the spin of the Resurrection as never before,
getting deeper and deeper. And He who gave that Shout to put us in our
ranks, how wonderful that there's a Bride right now that's walking,
walking, walking. And one day she'll take a step and the second foot
will come off the earth and she'll rise to Wedding Supper to see God
incarnated in flesh until the day when once more she separates on the
White Throne. And there sits that Son and all His glory arrayed in the
full power and majesty as though He were God Himself. 

	The Book's open, the whole thing come to light, and there to go on to
New Jerusalem, where that dear dying Lamb that rose again, now is Christ
risen from the dead, become a first-fruit with the New Jerusalem. And
before anyone calls there's the answer. Because there's no need for a
call, so all the provision is there, just the ever unfolding.

	Lord, we know that we in our capacity at this moment cannot even begin
to understand what that's all about, with that little stimulation we
have every now and then. It's enough, Lord, to get us swimming if it's
just barely doing a little dog paddle as it were, we'll soon spread the
arms and shoot forth into the depth it'll take us over to where the Tree
of Life is. And we'll meet with all the brethren, all the nations and
glorify Your Name forever.

	Heavenly Father, we know that this is not a pipe dream, and again we
thank You, it is not based on feelings, or emotions, or experience so
called by men. But is based upon a reality of 'Thus saith the Lord. As
the prophet said in that final and great revelation of the Rapture,
three times, "Thus It hath been spoken, and thus It will be." I thank
You, Lord, that It will be. Now, unto the King eternal, immortal the
only wise God, be all power and honor and glory through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen. The Lord bless you. 

	Let's go as we sing, 'Take the Name of Jesus with you'.
