Various Subjects # 1

 Bro. Lee Vayle

 September 5, 1998

	Shall we pray. Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Presence tonight,
and yet we think of those words wherein You spoke and said, “This
people honor Me with their mouths, but their hearts are afar off.” And
we trust Lord, our hearts are not afar off, but our words of our mouth,
the meditations of our heart, the reality of Your Presence, all goes
together, Father. We would not want to be those who literally would
blaspheme Your Name, taking Your Name in vain, carrying it in vain, and
talking about the reality of Almighty God here. Understanding certain
portions of vindication, and yet Lord our hearts be not with it. We
trust Father we shall not be of that number, because we know, Lord,
there has to be some people like that, but we trust we are not of them,
and may it never come in our midst Lord, and may we always grow in grace
and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and come up to that
positive portion that Bro. Branham spoke of, away from the negative. So,
Lord God, we also know that it is… It would even be better for those,
if they did speak with their mouths concerning Your glory, they’re far
better off we know, Lord, than those who positively come against that.
But Lord, there again, our eyes are not upon them, but our eyes are upon
You, and upon us, our relationship to You. Quicken our hearts tonight,
Lord, with reality, we give You praise, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. You may
be seated.

	Now tonight I’m just going to go through certain thoughts that have
come to me during the week, what’s going on in the world, and what’s
actually happening today, and what – how so we’re looking at some of
the scripture, which I realize that people do not understand, how much
we can cover I do not know. That’s why I sort of facetiously call it
potpourri, or you could just call it an olio, which is something like an
aromatic stew, where you have good ingredients. And so we trust the
ingredients are very good, though we’re not going to go into any
particular continuity of thought. 

	First of all, and this is going to be apart from one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, I was just thinking and wondering
why it is that the President Clinton has such a tremendous time as
he’s having today. What happened to that man? And I came to look at
his inaugural speech, where he quoted from the Book of Galatians. 

	Now he’s a Southern Baptist, so-called, I don’t if they belong to
any church or not. I know he has a mentor, some theologian that gave him
the wrong idea that until a child is born and actually crying it is not
a human being. It’s just a bunch of junk. Now many people
misunderstand Bro. Branham, when he said, “A child that’s not born,
and till it comes forth and cries is nothing but, you know, muscles and
nerves, you know, agitated and moving and jerking.” 

But they forgot that Bro. Branham also spoke of the time he talked to a
Mormon person, when he was hunting cougars, I think, up there in Utah,
or something anyway. And this man was bemoaning him the fact that he and
his wife were going to have a child and the child was stillborn. And he
said, “You’ll see that child in heaven.” So you see, the child was
already a soul, an entity. And so people misunderstood Bro. Branham. 

	But, let me read to you what Mr. Clinton said. [Galatians 6:7.]

(7)	Be not deceived; God is not mocked: whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap. 

(8)	For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap everlasting
(life).

	Now years ago when I spoke on confession, and the solemnity, and the
reverence, with which we must hold the Word of God, I used the scripture
which I cannot find now, because it is too loose as to the exact wording
that is in mind, that I had in mind, or try to have in my mind. And it
has to do, God speaking, “Who are you to have My words in your mouth?
What are you doing with My Words?” 

Now, this is not just praying now. The Bible speaks of those who disobey
and turn on the Word of God, God will not… If you turn your ear from
hearing God’s Word, God will turn His ear from hearing you, but
that’s not the one. There’s a verse there in the Bible that speaks.
And I say that Mr. Clinton went too far. And now the Day of Judgment has
come, because what he sows, he’s reaping.

	And that doesn’t go just for Mr. Clinton; that goes for this nation.
This nation has left God, 1956, the Day of Judgment took place, and now
we are a matter of forty-three years later. I don’t think that Bro.
Branham expected us to even come to the year two thousand. He spoke
concerning there never was a civilization, or empire, or government that
lasted two hundred years. We have lasted actually over two hundred
years, but he wasn’t staying that as though he had Bible for it. He
was merely indicating. 

And so I was thinking that this week, this is where Mr. Clinton made his
mistake. If he’d have just stood up there, and not invoked God, or the
Word of God, he might not be in this mess today. Because “Be not
deceived, God is not mocked.” And he was literally mocking God.
“What you sow you reap.” 

	Now, anybody can mock God. Even David mocked God, because he knew
better. We just thank God for grace. I wouldn’t say that Mr. Clinton
could not have grace, but that’s something that I don’t know about.

	All right, we’re going to look at number one, bringing to you
tonight, and you recall how we brought to your attention that the
atheists and evolutionists, that’s your pseudoscientific, finally
agreed to allow the creationists, or allow creationism, a point in
education, by permitting them, or permitting the point to be taught,
that in nature there is truly design. But they refuse to let anybody say
there’s a Designer. That’s the stupidest thing in all the world.
They know that without chickens, you don’t have any eggs. Now science
might turn around and make some pretty good substitutes, but they
won’t hatch. So these people that say that are ridiculous.

	Now notice, in a recent Popular Mechanics magazine, and I ripped it
out, but I forgot to highlight it. So therefore, as I went through my
various papers, I didn’t check carefully, and I lost the exact words,
but I’m going to try to give you exact as I can. Most people believe
in the Big Bang. Belekovsky evidently believed in that when he wrote
Worlds In Collision, and most people do believe in the Big Bang. Now
listen to me. It’s proven scientifically, if the Big Bang was a
hundred thousandths part of a second too soon or too late, we wouldn’t
be here. Who started the Big Bang just right? See this makes me want to
scream! I can’t understand how anybody can be so stupid! And expect us
to be stupid, and our government. Do you realize that man ?McCulla? we
sent down there to Washington was a Presbyterian Christian so-called,
and he was happy to kick prayer out of the schools? May he not rest in
peace as far as I’m concerned. Not that that would really save
anything. I’m not his judge, but I tell you, I can judge, because the
record is right there, and ?McCulla? turned on it. So much for science
so-called. 

	Number two: also recall we have discussed cellular therapy. It is now
acknowledged that each cell has an innate intelligence apart from every
other cell, but is perfectly in harmony and knows its place amongst all
the others. Isn’t that strange? My, the Pentecost especially are up in
arms. They didn’t like that.

	Three: this brings us to a new development in organ transplants. A
doctor (I didn’t bother writing his name down,) now wants to use pig
organs, not just tissues from the lungs and other portions, or
genetically engineered parts, but he wants to literally use pig organs,
because they’re so close to human organs. He’s looking for someone
who really is desperate enough to try it. 

How come everybody fought Dr. ?Neans?, and I know Dr. ?Coolans? still
living down in Mexico, and I know him very well. And I’ve had, who
knows, forty, fifty shots of cellular therapy shots, so I’m loaded, or
was, with prenatal shots for brain, for kidney, lungs, and especially in
my back for cartilage, and you heard recently how they’re putting
cartilage back in? O God, and this is what we’re putting up with.
These smart doctors, these smart politicians, these smart people that
know everything. You watch pretty soon though, they’ll be doing it,
and they’re doing it right now without…

	Hey listen, the Mormons, it’s acknowledged that twenty-five percent
of the men, have continually practiced polygamy, and I’ve known it,
for over thirty some years. And now they’re admitting it; it’s being
practiced widely, it never was stopped. 

So, and I threw that in there, because people positively are doing
things they shouldn’t be doing, so do you think it’s going to be
long, or don’t you think it’s going on even now, in spite of the
government trying to promote and say, “Don’t fool with cellular
therapy, because we’re going to take pretty soon get little girls
pregnant, give them ten thousand dollars for a good fetus, and we’ll
take those prenatal cells and inject what the man wants, what the woman
wants.” ?Neans? proved that. And it’s been proven scientifically, I
think, in the Caymans, I’m not sure, I think that’s it, where they
took isotopes, and they ?printed? then the cells, which they loosed in
the body, and if it was a liver cell, it went to the liver, a kidney
cell, go to the kidney’s, and a brain cell, go to the brain. And when
that little cell goes there, it begins building life around it, and it
replicates itself. Giving you healthy tissue. And that is known to be
done right now. How come they faulted ?Neans? sixty years ago, and they
faulted the Church Age Book and laughed, and said, “Why if you get an
injection of those cells, you’ll die!” Look at me, I’ve had maybe
fifty of them, I’m dead – I may stink but I ain’t dead. And
furthermore, I’m not stupid. So I just want you to know what’s going
on in the world. 

	Four: about a year or two ago, statisticians came out with the figures
that thirty percent of the people own seventy percent of the wealth of
the world. About three weeks ago, I saw those figures changed. And I
still think they’re wrong. Ten percent own ninety percent. That’s
six hundred million people. I doubt it. I doubt it. I think it’s like
those that are going to make the Rapture. One thousandth of one percent.
That might be closer to it. Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. Rome
owns the gold. And the strange thing is it’s at one of the lowest
points in history. So they can buy all they want. While the American
dollar is a base of every other dollar in the world. And we’re riding
high right now. 

And that’s why, with the Jews having all the paper, and ask one
question. When the stock market fell 1.9 trillion, that’s roughly 2
trillion dollars, was that just written on the books or did money
actually change hands? And when you buy and sell stock, and you give
your money, and issue a check, what really happens? Nothing really,
it’s a big ?kabal?, because they’re simply dealing in paper. It is
meaningless and valueless. Why gold should be so great, don’t ask me,
I’m not an economist, but somehow in the economy of God as I showed
you some time ago, from the Garden of Eden, the first thing mentioned
were those rivers out there, was much fine gold, and bdellium, and
precious gems. And so you saw what the world goes for. Minerals of the
highest order, and anything that man can contrive to use those minerals
and other substances of the earth for, and that makes commerce in the
whole world. That’s why you see Revelation 18, with Rome, the head,
the Babylon. 

	Yeah, I’m sure that less than ten percent own it, I just put it down.
How many… let’s say there’s ten million Jews. Do you think ten
million Jews actually own it? Hah. You put it down to about fifteen of
them, maybe twenty-five, or something like that. 

	Number five: since there is so much perversion in this Message seen
today, and so many queer personal ideas, I want to acquaint you with a
truly queer and perverted opinion I ran across right after Bro. Branham
passed away, so if it surfaces, and believe me it has surfaced, in this
hour, you can begin to understand it’s not just some loony thing
you’re hearing about, it’s being going on for thirty some years. 

	There was a certain fellow who used to go to a certain church in
Indiana. South Ben is where it was. The pastor was Bro. Carl Baker, but
it had nothing to do with him. In his church there was a young man
there, I won’t mention his name, because I know his name, and I can
see him right before me in my mind’s eye. He fell in love with a woman
that he was sure God gave to him. This was his wife. Well, she wasn’t
so sure, so she married somebody else. He was crying on my shoulder. And
that’s his wife. I said, “Now hold it. That’s your wife and
God’s going to give her to you?” 

“Yup,” he said, “He will.” 

“You mean God is going to kill that girl’s husband and give her to
you?” 

He said, “Yeah.” 

I said, “You’re nuts.” 

He was nuts. If you or anybody have any of these crazy ideas that God
gave a certain woman to you or something, you better not be a nut with
it. I know a certain guy who – and this was a doctor’s daughter, a
very lovely girl. Brian knows who I’m talking about. Knows the story
better than I do. He kept badgering her that “God gave you to me, God
gave you to me!” He convinced her. 

John had the same thing in England. A man tried to persuade their
daughter, “Oh, yeah, you’re my wife, God showed me, God showed
me.” 

Well, this poor girl, and a nice girl, a very lovely girl, I know her.
She married this guy, and her honeymoon …?… years later, and I
don’t know she still has a life after her kids have grown up.
Loony’s? That’s the devil, my brother and my sister, don’t anybody
ever tell you young lady, any man, we had a… oh my Lord, you got them
all over the place. You got them all over the place. And it isn’t just
that, it’s everything. 

	So, I’m just laying this on you now, because it came across my mind
that you ought to know some of these things, on the very grounds that it
doesn’t get better, it gets worse! The conditions around the ark were
worse! Until God had to take eight people and shut them in the ark, and
there was no light except a tiny beam from above, from the Sun of
Righteousness.  And if you and I don’t get surrounded by darkness
before this ark closes us in, I don’t know I’m even living in here
talking to you. There’s something wrong with my thinking. Well
there’s nothing wrong with my thinking, because I’m telling you,
it’s getting darker and darker. It’s going to get worse and worse.
In the meantime, it’s going to get better and better. And the better
and better depends on you and me, because when all these things come to
pass, look up rejoicing, because your redemption draweth nigh. And the
redemption draweth nigh is what? The changing of your body! You’re
already redeemed as far as your souls concerned. The redemption of Eph
1:13. 

	So all right. Six: I want to read you an article from the paper and
then ask you if you recall me having made a statement that is right on
track with this, and the immorality and the seduction of the hour. Now,
you women that like macho men. Do you know that today women favor girly
guys? DiCaprio is way ahead of Connery. And if Connery, a twenty-five
year old boy today, he’d look sick alongside of DiCaprio, the little
feminine looking little boy. I don’t know why he hasn’t got long
hair, but I thank God he hasn’t. 

“Given a choice between a dooly looking Leonardo DiCaprio and a
ruggish Sean Connery sort, women may naturally be drawn to the man with
the more feminine face, researchers say.” Now, you know the Scotch are
pretty tight people, John. “A group of Scottish psychologists studying
sexual behavior reports that women tend to prefer the faces of men with
more feminine features, because they’re perceived as gentler, more
trustworthy.” 

Remember I told you people that the boys started wearing long hair, and
they’re getting around the girls, and there was more and more sex,
because the women let their guard down, because they looked like… Do
you remember me saying that? Who remembers that? Ah-hah! Brian remembers
it. It’s on the tape somewhere. Yeah, I told you. Here it is right
here proof. A feminine looking man. Pretty boys. But they still have
testosterone and they’re just as rotten or rottener than the bravo
macho guy. Because they sneak up on you with seduction the way the devil
did from the Garden of Eden.

	Seven: you recall how that I’ve emphasized repeatedly, emphatically,
that Satan was created as the highest order of creation of spirit
beings, and was placed by God, actually foreordained to it, and led in
worship, and since he was created to that end, he still leads in
worship, and as in the Garden of Eden where he spoke for God, and
interpreted the Word to Eve, he still does today, and has a place even
now amongst us to pervert all he can of this Message. Satan has a
five-fold ministry, just like God has. 

	Now this to me is a very, very strong point. And I simply can’t
understand why it seems, at least to me, maybe just seems that way –
it’s not really right, but I doubt it. That people cannot understand
that Satan is actually leading in the worship of God, and using
everything he knows about God, and yet in the leading of worship, leads
people away from worship by a wrong or perverted revelation. 

	Now that’s not hard to see from Acts 20. In there you’ll notice
that Paul said, “For three years now I’ve wept daily concerning you,
because I know what’s going to happen.” He said in verse 26:

I take you to record this day, (I’m) pure from the blood of all men. 

For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and the flock, over which the Holy
Ghost made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath
purchased with his own blood. 

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in
among you, not sparing the flock. 

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things…

That’s iniquity! The iniquity found in Satan was perverting the
scripture. They’re not going to come in and say, “Look, I don’t
believe this, I don’t believe, that’s haywire, that’s the other
thing.” They’re going to take the very things that this Message
stands for and change them, pervert them. These people are nasty,
because they’re of the devil. 

(30)	…(And they’re going) to draw away disciples after them. 

(31)	Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I
ceased not to warn (you) every one (day and night) with (prayers).  

	And in 2 Corinthians 11, Paul speaks of the Bride being seduced through
her mind. And then in the 12th chapter, I believe it is, because the
11th chapter you don’t need all of it. Ah, no, the 11th chapter it
goes on to say: 

(12)	For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming
themselves into apostles of Christ. 

(13)	And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an (apostle,
into a prophet, into a teacher, into a pastor, and into an evangelist.) 


(14)	Therefore (it’s) no great thing if his ministers be transformed
as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their
works.

	And what are their works? Perverting the scripture, to lead people
astray after them. So you’ve got a lot of this going on today, and
it’s right amongst the Branhamites, if it weren’t so, I ask you, who
is leading the Deity cult? Who made Bro. Branham Jesus Christ? And that
spirit’s so strong, that me sitting there, and a very tight, uptight
type of conservative, that if anybody ever said he’s Jesus Christ,
I’ll kick his teeth in, even though I might not be able to do it. Like
the old gal said, she said, “I’ll bite him. If I lose my teeth,
I’ll gum him.” 

Well, I felt the same way, yet I sat in a meeting where that spirit was.
And I heard Bro. Branham saying that he was Jesus Christ, right in that
meeting. It drove me insane. See him outside, but in that pulpit,
“I’m Jesus Christ.” 

And I found out there were men from Canada who brought that spirit with
them that made Bro. Branham Jesus Christ. Said, “Bro. Branham, those
people have made you Jesus Christ.” 

He said, “I know Bro. Vayle. And furthermore, they will engrave a
medal, whereby they will say, “William Branham is Jesus Christ,” and
baptize in my name.” And they’ve done it. Bro. Branham himself said
in Tucson, “There’ll be seventeen varieties preaching in this
Message.” Before he died. 

	So I want to ask you a question. Do you think for one minute that Satan
cannot be leading the so-called Bride, that is, in its worship? If
that’s not the truth, you tell me, where did Oneness, and Trinity, and
Twoness, or anything else come from. I’m talking now of false
doctrine, not the true oneness of Godhead.

	Number eight. We go to the positive for a change, which deals with
vindication. How clearly have you read Deuteronomy 18, in the light of
Exodus 20? Let’s go to Deuteronomy 18. And it says here, as we well
know [verse] 16-17.

According to all that thou desirest of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the
day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord
my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. 

And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have
spoken.

	All right. Ex 20:18. 

And the people saw the thunderings, and lightnings, and the noise of the
trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they
removed, and stood afar off. 

And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let
not God speak with us, lest we die. 

And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: God is come to prove you, and
that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 

And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick
darkness where God was.

	Now in there, when Moses drew near into thick darkness, he stood in the
midst of the flashings of lightning and thunder, and the Pillar of Fire
stood there. Now I want you to notice this. The people said, “Now
Moses you go up there, and you take it for us. And you come back, and
that will be precisely what is going on that we don’t want to see, but
it is going on.” 

So therefore I want to submit to you today, as never before tonight,
that when you and I saw a vindicated prophet – I was fortunate, most
of you weren’t, but you’ve seen the films, so therefore you are
privy to it. But those of us who did see it particularly, saw the
vindicated prophet, and heard him speak, we literally saw God and the
Pillar of Fire, though it was denied us, actually in that measure that
the prophet had it, but because the prophet was that to us, we actually
saw and heard God. I’m going to prove it. Bro. Branham said, “When
you see God descend from the heavens and stand before groups of men and
declare himself as ever he did.” 

I want to ask you a question. Are you willing to take that position
tonight? Or are you just kind of playing around in the waters? That
you’re not sold out, that you literally are a part of the seeing of
the Pillar of Fire, seeing God, and everything that can be known of God,
when you and I saw a vindicated prophet, and heard him. And even though
you see it on film, and you see it right there, printed on a picture.
That’s not something that’s foolish. That is scientific reality. 

Remember again, when you see God descend from the heavens and stand
before groups of men and declare Himself, as ever He did, that is God
positively, accurately, a hundred percent, the Pillar of Fire to you,
because the Pillar of Fire is in that man. 

I know most people don’t want that. See, that’s what I say, they
can’t take the doctrine; they’ll want to switch around. Like one
fellow, and oh, he’s very famous in this place, oh my, they run and
kiss his feet all over the country, got a great big church and building
another one. He says, “The Bible says as God.” Uh-uh. It’s not as
God. We’re not making it a bleak reference anymore. We’re not
looking at something as though as it were. That’s not as it were, that
is! And it were, was. 

Same guy wants gifts in his church. Put in microphones. Right in the
presence of people who became witnesses. And they walked out on him. And
he lied to me, and he said, “Oh, there’s no mikes in my pews.” He
said, “That’s not the bad thing,” he said, “the bad thing is
we’re not getting any messages.” 

The two people who heard him lie over the telephone, said, “If that
man can lie, I’ve got no faith in him.” Walked out. I can get you
their names if you want, no problem at all. 

But you see, he said, “As God.” So if as God, and something else
comes on, as God. No, this is God! You ain’t looking for anybody else,
either! Oh, yeah, the world’s full of it. 

“Oh the Bride is going to perfect the Bride by love. Oh the Elohim of
God.” You watch the oneness go to the Elohim of God. Sure, why?
Because God was in Jesus, that’s God. Oh, but He’s in us also,
because God poured it all into Christ, and Christ poured it all into us,
and so we’re the Elohim – well, come on, if God lost Himself in
Jesus, and Jesus lost Himself in us, we’re worse than the Catholics!
Which part of God are you? Hah! We’ll let that one ride. 

	These verses vindicate perfectly Bro. Branham as said, “When you see
God descend from the heavens and stand before groups of men and declare
Himself as He ever did.” To see a vindicated prophet, to see God
veiled in human flesh, is exactly, not just as seeing God, but literally
seeing and hearing God in a Pillar of Fire. In this hour we, or some of
us, have seen God, not a man only. I’m one of those. Mitch, you saw
Bro. Branham, didn’t you? You were there. Joe, you were at some of the
meetings, weren’t you? Yeah, you were up there, north for some of
them. Steve was too small; he wasn’t born yet. May, you were there,
and …?…, you were there too, in the Carolina’s, weren’t you, in
some of his meetings there? 

	All right, now that’s fine. So that makes us a privileged class. Oh,
I don’t think so. I want to take you over to the Book of John 24, and
see where you fit in. That is the 20th chapter of course, and verse 24
I’m looking at. Here’s what it says about you.

(24)	But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them
when Jesus came. 

(25)	The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord.
But he said unto them, Except I see in his hands the print of the nails,
and put my finger in the print of the nails, and thrust my hand in his
side, I will not believe. 

(26)	And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas
with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the
midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 

(27)	(He said) to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands;
reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless,
but believing. (Ah-ha, that was a slap in the face, wasn’t it?) 

(28)	And Thomas said, My Lord and my God. 

(29)	(And) Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, Because thou hast seen, thou
hast believed:  blessed are they that have not seen, and yet believed.

	So where’s your faith tonight? In other words, you can be like the
Apostle Paul, who never saw Jesus. Whereas, as Bro. Branham said, the
other disciples could say, “We ate with him, we slept with him, we
lived with him!” But Paul had a fuller revelation. And I believe the
generation that never saw him, has a far fuller revelation than those
that did see him. Because now the Word has become fuller, richer, and
realer.

	Number nine: now I want to go to the Bible, and with you show you again
how to read in spite of interpolations in the Word. Although this is not
exactly interpolations. But a description. Which description taken out
leaves bare subject matter. This is called parsing. As when you parse a
sentence. You break it down into subject, verb, and object. One is the
subjective, one is the verb, one’s the accusative. And when you parse
a sentence, you strip it to get the exact meaning. You take out all the
frills, the interpolations, and little things in there. 

	Now, we did that over here in 1 John 3, to give you an idea… It says:

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (That’s the ninth
verse.)

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God… (Now right down to
verse twelve.)

You see, everything… that in there, “neither he that loveth not his
brother”, why throw that in there? That’s an embellishment. See,
parsing it, you throw that out. Not that you are going to leave it out.
It’s legitimate. You want to boil it down.

(12)	Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And
wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his
brother’s righteous.

	So, I showed you how interpolations, or things put in there for the
sake of description, or actually also for the sake of hopefully making
it clearer to you, can become a problem. And it’s a problem usually
because you’re taught wrong! And the teaching starts in Sunday school
in religion, and it starts in the school, because they teach you too
many times fables instead of reality. Although the school is a better
place to learn and be savvy, then in religion. Because in true
schooling, you can’t pick a bone! You can’t philosophize; two and
two are four, three and three are six, five and five is ten! H2O is
water. Not H3O, H2O. See? Not H2O2. Won’t do it, you get some kind of
acid I guess in that thing. Won’t work. But you see in religion, which
is a faith subject. It’s devilish. So, you read your Bibles, because
you’re taught wrong. 

	Okay, we’re going to go to Ephesians 1. And you’ll see how Godhead
is completely messed up. Beginning at verse 3. It says:

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

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the
world,

Now, I want you to notice first of all, there are two noun phrases.
“Blessed be the God and Father” and “of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
So God and Father, and Lord Jesus Christ, are in there. But you will
notice that, as I say they’re not in apposition, and one distracts
from the other, if you don’t know the reason why it is in there. Now,
the actual truth is, parsing “Blessed be God the Father” or “God
and Father who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places.” 

Now, what Paul is saying here in plain English, is that there are many
fathers. Jesus said, “You better not have any father and call a man a
father, but your Father in heaven.” 

Religions, religious founder fathers, Confucius, Mohammed, Joe Smith,
the what do you call him? Utah Mormon. All around you find people that
are father figures and heads of religion. But notice what he’s saying
here. He’s saying, “Blessed be God the Father of the Lord Jesus
Christ,” pinpointing this One as the Father of that One, that One
alone is the Father, because this Son is vindicated to be the Son of
God, so that’s why he’s saying, “Blessed be God the Father of the
Lord Jesus Christ.” Not another father! Not somebody else. Not anybody
else. Just this One. God vindicated through vindicating the Son. 

That’s why the Bible all the way through: “Blessed be the God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” 

And yet people will be thinking it blasphemy to say, “Blessed be the
God of William Branham, that’s the One that I recognize.” Because
he, like Paul, pointed to that Son, that was vindicated by God to be the
Son of God, to the Vindicator being God, that’s what we’re lined up
with. You follow what I’m saying? 

	So, if you don’t look at the interpretations and descriptions, and
you get lost in them, you end up a Trinity. Jesus isn’t God. He can be
worshipped, because he’s worthy. He can be acknowledged, he can be
glorified, he can be eulogized, he can be thanked, he can be loved! But
he’s not the Father. Without this Son we don’t have access to the
Father, I’ll get into that a little later on if I have time. But the
thing is this: now watch. 

(3)	Blessed be the God and Father, who hath blessed us with all
spiritual blessings in heavenly places:

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

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to
(God) himself, according to the good pleasure of (God’s own) will, 

To the praise of the glory of (God’s) grace, wherein he hath made us
accepted in the beloved. (Now,)

In whom we have redemption through his blood, 

Now, you say that’s got to be the Son. You’d have to prove that by
knowing the Greek or knowing something I don’t know of. But let me
tell you something, “In whom we have redemption through his blood,”
I’m going to ask you. What is the blood of God? Jesus. Bro. Branham
quoted that from Acts 20:28. Because that’s exactly where it’s
found. And it says:

(28)	Take heed therefore unto you, and all the flock (of God), over
which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God,
which he hath purchased with his own blood.

	The purchased price was His Own blood, which was Jesus. Jesus was His
life, like you and I don’t have it. That tremendous life, that God
could take a part of it, and literally give it. So which way are you
going to read it? Huh? You see, if you look at your descriptions, and
don’t know what you’re reading, my God, you could be a Trinitarian,
a quadritarian, well, no that wouldn’t be it. Well, yeah.
Quadrupilized, or quantified, God knows what. [Eph 1:7.]

(7)	…according to the riches of (God’s) grace;

Wherein (God) hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

Now, I want to tell you something. Where did God abound? He abounded in
Jesus Christ. 

(10)	That in the dispensation of the fulness of time(s) (God) might
gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven,
and on earth; even in him:  (Now,)

(11)	In whom we have obtained an inheritance, 

	Now, you’re looking to see right down the line, how that you get
every single thing that God had for you, planned for you, and when man
went astray, it was all brought back so you could be positioned as the
children, which you are. Two gods? Two gods, my foot. There’s one God.


	Now, you see, you could look around and say, “Redeemed by His Own
blood,” and you could say, “Well, now, just a minute. God’s Own
blood, that makes Jesus God.” Uh-uh. Nope. A vindicated prophet said
otherwise. 

	So all right, I just wanted to bring that to your attention because in
here you’ll notice it’s… like here, as I say, God and Father and
Lord Jesus Christ are not noun phrases in apposition. In fact, Lord
Jesus Christ is used only to indicate what Father is being testified to.
So we can put aside Lord Jesus Christ and simply read it, “Blessed be
the God and Father, who hath blessed us.” So even as there are
millions of fathers, father founders, in this kind of, and that kind of
faith, there is only one, the God and Father of Christianity that we
recognize, and that is the One Who Fathered Jesus and testified to it by
infallible proof. And also, let’s just go over here to Ephesians 4,
and prove our point. Verse 5. 

One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you
all.

So, there’s one God, there’s one Lord. And you can call them both
Lords. But you can’t call both God. Because it’s utterly impossible.
So how many people are mixed up on that? 

	Point number ten: it was brought to my attention, “What about I came
from God and I go back to God?” Bro. Branham saying we came exactly
like Jesus did, except He did not bypass His theophonic, spirit body,
word body, that form, but we did. Thereby He had remembrance, which we
don’t. 

And that’s proven by scripture, because Jesus said, “Give Me back
the glory that I had from the beginning.” 

And God said, “I’ll not only give it back, but I’m even going to
glorify You even more.” 

We there were with the sons of God, and all the stars rejoicing, and
clapping our hands, as I brought out very, very clearly in Who Is This
Melchisedec, and showed the whole thing right on down, the sons of God,
that is the born ones of Almighty God.

	Now, what we want to look at is that in the scripture where Jesus did
not bypass His theophany, but He came down here to take on Himself the
form of flesh. Now, in John 16, I think it is, 27-28, He said:

(27)	For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and
(you) have believed that I came out from God. (Now notice.) I came out
from God.

(28)	I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world (again):
(and) again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

Now, if you come out of something, come out of God, you must have been
in God to come out. I cannot come out of a house, unless I’m in the
house to come out. So therefore, He came out of God. Exactly what Bro.
Branham said. A light formed, when there was nothing to form from but
God. So therefore, a great portion of God, whereby He would bring forth
the Son, a prelude to bringing forth many sons, this Son being
responsible to bring all the sons into glory with Himself. So He
remembered that glory. That’s why He could stand every test. Then
remembering He was sent to bring many sons into glory, do you think for
one minute He would let us down? Oh, no way, shape, and form. He’d
die, rise again, and plead for us. God would have to throw away His Son,
to throw us away. See how beautifully this comes out to us? 

	Now, He said, “I came forth from God.” Now if He came out of God,
then comes forth from the Presence of God, He’s going to go back to
it! Now this is one God with that great Son.

	So, John 1 says, “The only begotten Who is in the bosom of the Father
hath declared Him.” Right again, Bro. Branham used that scripture, to
show the Son went back to the Father. Father, Son, Son to the world, God
in the Son, God going back, the Son going back to the Father. And the
word ‘bosom’ is like the word ‘chad’ which is a harbor. So now,
the Son is harbored by the Father. All enemies are going to be put under
His feet. And He’s going to run it all.

	So all right, the next thing we go to is Jn  8:42. These are not
necessarily in order, but I think they work out pretty good that way.
8:42. 

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, (you) would love me: for
I proceeded forth and came from God; (Now He said, “I proceeded out of
God and came down here.”)

Can you get it any clearer that this is not God the Son, but the Son of
God? Now, isn’t it true, that because you were taught wrong, you read
it wrong every single time, and you couldn’t begin to get Godhead,
until recently? Sure, Bro. Branham messed us up at a one point. More
than one point. Because didn’t know what he was saying. “Why,” he
said, “years ago, I used to think that God hated me, and Jesus loved
me. Come to find out it’s the same person.” Oh, brother. That’s
not a Jesus only statement, though God knows it is. He wasn’t saying
that. He was saying the same God that he thought hated him, was in Jesus
loving him! Wasn’t just God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, He was in the Son! 

Now listen to me. You think it’s unusual or any way a stretch of your
mind, that God in that Son could cause that Son to die and take on the
sins of the whole world and die that terrible death, when you consider
that the Holy Spirit in a measure, was in Polycarp to stand in the
flames? Or John the Beloved to be boiled in oil? Or Isaiah to be sawn
asunder? To Paul have his head cut off? Peter crucified upside down? And
the saints when the Roman Catholics persecuted them, they threw the
women and men into sacks of leather with serpents, and threw them in the
ocean. I stood there in ?Bruges? where they cut the heads off of martyrs
and rolled them in the river, and you know something, that’s the only
picture on the camera that didn’t turn out, of all the trip in Europe?
The devil’s still working. It was the devil did that; it sure wasn’t
God. I can tell you that. Where they ripped up women and children, and
threw the fetuses to pigs? Where there’s nothing too despicable to do?
What made those people stand there except God in them? By the Holy
Spirit a measure! Not God! But a measure of God.

	Eleven: now recall when Paul said, “One Lord, one God,” there was
two of them. Notice the scripture says very clearly the head of [woman]
is the [man], that doesn’t mean a thing, because that’s down here on
earth. But it’s spiritual also. But I’m talking now in series, where
you might call an order. But it does say the head of man is Christ and
the head of Christ is God. So therefore, Jesus is not God. And no amount
of the Spirit of God in us, and no number of the children of God all
combined with Jesus, ever approximates God. Because the Pillar of Fire
is still above the throne, even when the Lamb is on the throne. And
Jesus now on the throne of God has God down here, the Father, Elohim,
Jehovah Elohim, putting all things under His feet and getting the Bride
ready for the great coronation day. 

	Now, notice. Paul in Ps 110:1, speaks of “The Lord said unto my Lord,
sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
Paul used this and many others in Hebrews 1 to show that Jesus was
indeed the Son of God. And I’m not going to read it all because our
time’s actually running out very rapidly. But you can read the first
two chapters. But before reading, we look at the fact that before Ps
110:1 could ever come into existence, you had to have Isaiah 53. After
that you could begin to see the future Kingdom of the Millennium, with
the greater Son of David on the throne, and the Pillar of Fire above the
throne. 

	This understanding makes us to see what Bro. Branham brought us by true
revelation. And that was when time has thoroughly been exhausted, it’s
after the White Throne period, and the new heavens and the new earth
have been given us, and Zion is upon the earth, fifteen hundred miles
square at the base, and fifteen hundred miles high, and all the rest of
the world is inhabited. But only the New Jerusalem has the Lamb, and the
Bride, and the hundred and forty-four thousand virgins, and the Pillar
of Fire above it, and all the rest outside. 

Now you show me where there’s three gods, you show me where there’s
two gods, there’s only one God. See? But you can’t get that until
you begin to stop reading your Bible with the ignorance, which your head
was pumped full of. And the iniquitous scripture, the perverted
scripture that you had. 

	Now, much of that has come through the apostle’s creed. When did the
apostles ever have a creed? The Catholics are great on this. Even the
Protestants are great on it, repeating the apostle’s creed. Where is
it, where is it in scripture? It’s a bunch of baloney. The Trinity
doesn’t exist. 

	So in here you can see the 144,000, you can see the wise virgin, you
can see the Lamb, you can see the two Lords – the Lamb and God – Son
of God, and Almighty God, and all the rest. And He still sits there,
because He can never be anything else but that great Redeemer, Who
redeemed us, the nail scars are still there, no problem with that, they
have to be there, but above there will be the Pillar of Fire, and before
they call He answers. One God.

	Okay, twelve. I mentioned many times the Jehovah Elohim complex,
especially in the Book of Isaiah, but let us see where its beginning is,
which is in Gen 2:4. Now remember, God said to Moses, “By My Name
Jehovah was I not known.” And that throws people for a loop, and I
think most of us arrived at the conclusion that that was not known to
the people as great numbers, but only to maybe just a few people. So all
right, in 2:4. Now it says, 

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were
created, in the day that the Lord God made the heavens (and the earth), 

Well, there’s a thing there that we have to look at, and number one,
we might as well take the word ‘day’. Now that word ‘day’
doesn’t necessarily mean one day, or just a thousand years. It’s a
figure of speech of space determined by association. That’s what it
is. It’s like today we have the day of the Lord. Well, what does that
really mean? We’re into it – actually we’re into right now, where
God’s come down and setting everything in order, putting everything in
order for the Millennium. Does that end then? No, you’ve got the White
Throne and all. 

And there’s something I want to bring to your attention right now.
Bro. Branham went to the Feast of the Trumpets, I think it was, I’m
not sure. And he talked about seven being fulfillment, which it is,
it’s completion. And then he said, “See now, this goes eight. This
is eight. It’s one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, starting all
over again.” Right? The Millennium. Now the point is this: if eight
becomes number one, why? It shouldn’t even be numbered. Shouldn’t
there be two, three, four, five, six, seven, and so on? 

I submit to you, and I’m not THUS SAITH THE LORD, and I’m not
William Branham, but he’s the one that brought that up. He said,
“It’s now one.” The word in the Greek is Millennia, which is
plural. Everybody wants seven to end it, that’s it. But Bro. Branham
said we go to an eight. 

So I’m just letting you understand here, that isn’t it absolutely
possible, and after seven church ages we’re getting a new start, and
that one really wouldn’t be there with infinity or eternity, because
it doesn’t have a number. But I’m just looking at the picture here
that’s letting you know we don’t have all the answers, we’ve got
to wait for some of them, but there’s really something going on
that’s really continuous and wonderful at this particular time, and I
associate with this word ‘day’ here, because it doesn’t mean
twenty-four hours or necessarily a thousand [End of side one.] years;
it’s a space of time. 

So when it says, and here also it says, ‘generations’, it means the
history or the birth, or the descent of the family. So it says right
here that the generations of heavens, the birth of them, and all of this
thing here, what we’re looking at, where Bro. Branham said, “Let me
draw you a picture. Let’s look over the balustrades of heaven, and
this light that came forth from God, the Son of God, God creating by
Him, did all these tremendous things out here, where the earth curled
for hundreds of millions of years, or billions, the rivers were formed,
the Mississippi, the Ohio, and all of these by great glaciers and
things,” and Bro. Branham talked about it all. A piece of the earth,
like he said, spun off from the sun, and fell millions of years cooling
and sizzling. And the Father stood back and said, “That’s great.” 

	Now, that’s what you’re looking at here. These are the generations
of the heaven and earth in the day they were created. In the days and
the time it took before God could put a man on the earth. Before then,
He was only Elohim! Elohim is God! Love, but nobody knows it. It’s all
omniscience and omnipotence. It’s the austere God, hiding in darkness,
no one can approach unto, invisible, eternal, immortal, inscrutable,
absolutely bound by His Word, don’t spit on the street, you’re dead
if you do, one word against it, you’re annihilated. Inscrutable God,
Creator, can do anything He wants, nobody can stop Him, don’t get near
Him, don’t try to get near Him. Don’t talk to Him. See, why? Because
He’s the law. God in His Word’s one. Unchangeable, can’t change
His mind. Impregnable. There He stands. See? That’s Elohim. But inside
is Jehovah, which is the love. 

Now this inscrutable Elohim has got everything ready; now He’s called
not Elohim, but Jehovah Elohim! Because why? He’s going to change!
From the inscrutable, unknown God, the only Person Who knows Him is
Jesus, His Own Son, and notice He’s Jehovah. Joshua – Jehovah
Savior. He’s God coming forth mightily in this One, as He does come
forth. And it says: [Genesis 2] 

Every plant (in) the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of
the field before it grew: for the Lord God (Himself) had caused it (to
not) rain upon the earth, (because) there was (no) man to till the
(earth). 

Now, see when it’s all done, He’s doing all these fine things, all
the needlework, now He’s Jehovah Elohim. See?

…A mist (went up)…

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, breathed into his
nostrils the breath of (lives); and man became a living soul.

This man, through the Holy Ghost, now is a propagator of God! That’s
exactly what it is. 

And the Lord God planted (this) garden… (and so on and so on.)

Now, so all right. To me, for the first time in scripture in the Old
Testament, here in 2:4, “The Lord God created, the Lord God did this,
did that,” you find Eph 3:9. 

(9)	And to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which
from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all
things by Christ (Jesus):

The beginning is right back here, in the Jehovah Elohim complex. Why?
Because all this was made by the inscrutable God through the Jehovah
element placed beautifully in His Son. As the Son did it all. 

	Now, “Let us make man in Our image.” And the whole thing is all
laid out there. Everything in its order. Now God takes that spirit man,
puts him in a body to till the earth. And you see the grace of God
manifested. And you’ll even see where Eve claims the grace of God. She
said, “I have gotten me a man from the Lord.” Didn’t say one thing
about Elohim. 

And I want to ask you a question. Is this the start of the lie of the
virgin birth? Where the gods come down and seduce women and have babies
by them? Is this why people can’t stand, or the Jews cannot stand the
thought of a woman having a baby by the Holy Ghost? Jews can’t believe
that. That’s heathenism. 

When Eve said, “I have gotten a man from the Lord.” 

And Cain said, “I am not serpent seed.” Huh? He knew he wasn’t
like Abel. Oh, no comparison. 

And when he killed Abel, why did Eve say, “I have gotten me another
seed.” She had this seed right here, now she’s got another seed. The
another seed he killed. And the serpent seed will always kill the seed
of God. I don’t say as though I know that Eve was saying, “You know,
this child of mine is really virgin born, because I didn’t have sex
with Adam, but I got him anyway.” Denying the fact that he was the
serpent seed, because why would Cain deny he’s serpent seed? 

Did I just hear the voice of Clinton? “I want to tell you right
now…” There’s no doubt about it. There’s no doubt about it.
He’ll cover up every single time and lie about it. 

No, I don’t say that this is the beginning, as though I know this is
the beginning of the myth of the virgin birth. But it could be the
beginning of the lie, and the myth of virgin birth, in order to
discredit the true virgin birth. Because there had to be one. Just think
it over. I’m not saying you got to believe it, I’m just saying look
at it. There’s a thought there that we could look at. See?

	Now, we read Ex 6:3, and you’ll notice in here in Ex 6:3 – no we
didn’t read it. We didn’t get to it yet. So okay, Ex 6:3, we got to
go to. And God is talking to Moses, and at this point I haven’t had to
use the board, but – here he says:

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of
God Almighty, (that’s Elohim with the great position of the sovereign
of God.) but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

Now, we know that Eve said, “I’ve gotten a man by Jehovah.” We
know that Abraham called the place, and called God ‘Jehovah Jireh’.
At that attempted assassination of his son, by sacrifice. But let’s
look at that word ‘name’. That name doesn’t mean a strict
appellation, where you’re going to call a man a certain thing, but it
also means when you are taking a name and saying, “By my name I was
not known,” in this case you go to the understanding that that word
can convey, which is conspicuous position. 

So God says to Moses, not as though this is now a revelation to all the
people, though it does become, this is where God says, “I am going to
be conspicuously Jehovah.” 

Was He Jehovah when Eve said, “I’ve gotten a man from Jehovah”?
Oh, no He was degraded to being a scumbag. 

Although Bro. Branham said truly correct, “Even the rottenest harlot
bearing a baby, the sleaziest woman, can say, “I’ve gotten a man
from the Lord,” because that’s the law of nature that God laid
down.” But I don’t think she was just saying that only for that
reason. See, I’m a little suspicious and a little bit rattier than
Bro. Branham. A whole lot. 

So, God says here, “Moses, I am now going to reveal Myself as the most
auspicious Jehovah. Which no one ever really knew Me by! The Savior, the
Shepherd, the Healer, the Sanctifier, the Provider, the Banner, the
Peace! All of it!” This is that side that people want to call the
female side. Hogwash! There’s only male and female in life according
to the DNA and the RNA, and that is not spirit! That’s physical. I
challenge anyone to prove me wrong on that one. Because you can’t see
spirit in a magnifying glass. Or under any kind of a scope, magnified to
the trillionth degree! Because it can’t be seen. It could only be
known when it takes on a body. Bro. Branham said male and female spirit,
and that’s their aura, I would look at it as that way, it is
definitely for procreation.

	So all right. Now, the conspicuous position denoting honor, authority,
character, that would be essentiality and intrinsicality, what I really
am. Now remember, I can prove that. God said to Moses, “Now I’m
going to tell you something. I’m going to send you down there, but
he’s not going to listen.” He said, “He’s not only not going to
listen, he’s going to make it harder for you. You stand right there.
And I’m going to taunt him, and let him just go his whole limit,
because I’m going to …?… and show him Who I am. And show you Who I
am.” 

Now you follow me? So I’m right in what I’m talking about tonight.
Hundred percent right, what I’m telling you. Not what the scholars
told me, and I told you recently. What in the Word of God. What’s in
this Message. 

	So all right, we find in Ephesians, and I’m going to give you a
little illustration here now, to get this perfect. The 3rd chapter.

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 

If (you) have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is
given to me to you-ward: (Oh, that’s terrible I read that way then.)

How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote
afore in few words, 

Whereby, when (you) read, (you) may understand my knowledge in the
mystery of Christ)  (Now here it is.)

Which in (the) other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it
is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, of the same body and partakers
of his promise in (the) Christ by the gospel:

Whereby I was made a minister,

Now Paul said, “Listen.” And I can take you back, and here it is, in
Gen 17:4-5: “I’ll make you a father of nations.” Gen 18:18, Gen
22:18, 26:4, “I will make you a father of nations,” right down the
line, and then He says in Christ, “In thee shall the Gentiles
trust.” And that’s to Abraham. 

Now Paul said, “It was known.” They knew it’s in the Bible. But
they don’t know it like they know it now! 

And that’s what God said to Moses. “They knew it, but they don’t
know it like they’re going to know it now!” 

Let me tell you something. They never knew it as the people in Jesus’
day knew it, and no age knows it like our age knows it. Yeah. Because
this is the time God Himself comes down, as He came down to His sinning
children in the garden, that He may rescue them, give them redemption,
but we to a new age, and a new world. So all right, we clear that point
up. See? 

	So as we notice in Gen 2:4, Elohim became Jehovah Elohim in dealing
with His creature of creation, and His sons, especially in conjunction
with man, until Eve’s understood the humanity and beauty and love of
God, and so she said, “I’ve gotten a man from Jehovah.” God of
grace, just the same. You know a lot of people think they… like the
Catholics think they got a man from God. But I got news for them… how
many minutes do we got left? Eight? Fifteen? Oh, we got lots of time.
All right. No, we don’t have lots of time; I’ll save that another
time.

	We’re going to go now to a point that was brought out to me some time
ago, not too long ago, in Hebrews 5, dealing with Melchisedec. In 5:6, 

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

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

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

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things he
suffered; 

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

Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

	Now being made perfect, how can you make anything more perfect than
that which is perfect? What I am looking at here is that the perfection
means that Jesus went through everything. No stone unturned, no Word
left undone, completely finished when He said, “It is finished,” it
was over. He’d done it. The perfect sacrifice to God. 

As Pink wrote: “The satisfaction of God.” God was satisfied. And if
God was satisfied, He could never be dissatisfied. It’s over. Made
perfect. Made perfect through suffering. In other words, He came up all
the way, stood every test, stood right there, conscious of the two
worlds, everything there. And He stood right there and paid that price. 

	Now after the order of Melchisedec, the mystery of Melchisedec, Genesis
14. All right. Verse 18, is it? 

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was
the priest of the most high God. 

And he blessed (it), and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God,
possessor of heaven and earth:  

Blessed be the most high God, (who) hath delivered thine enemies into
thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. 

The king of Sodom said, (and so on.)

Now Bro. Branham… here’s what Scoffield says about that. He says,
“Melchisedec type of Christ, priest, King, strictly applies to
priestly work of Christ in resurrection, Melchisedec presents only a
memorial sacrifice and wine. After Melchisedec,” and so on, right on
down the line.

	Bro. Branham said, “Without father, without mother indicated that
because Jesus had a mother and a father, this had to be Elohim
Himself.” The only birthless person in all the world was God. Who did
not have a birth, except when He gave birth to Himself as God, bringing
the Son forth to worship Him. And the angels, and other things. But He
had that in Him, because He was sovereign, therefore He was God.
Sovereignty is God. God is sovereignty. Period. One God, sovereign.
Okay? 

	So there is this sovereign God, Who is Elohim. And Bro. Branham said,
“That was Elohim manifest in a flesh”. And the flesh manifested was
called Melchisedec. 

	Now Bro. Branham said that never came again until the same One Elohim
appeared in Jesus. The question then arises, how in the world can He be
a priest unto God if God is in Him? See, because if this Man is
literally God in flesh, then would He be a Priest unto God, God Himself
being there? I don’t see any reason why not. If God is simply in the
Man. And the Man Melchisedec set forth without father and mother, taking
up a residence in this One, actually makes Him God in a person of a Man.


Now let’s just talk about Jesus. Do you think that Jesus didn’t pray
to the God within Him? Do you think He didn’t worship the God within
Him? Don’t you think He was priest to the God within Him? Certainly He
was. Why then would not this One, Melchisedec, the form of flesh now, be
Priest unto God? He would be. And He’s the One that took the bread and
wine as symbols. And therefore in the High Priest administry of Christ,
when God left Him, and went up to heaven, He now becomes that person,
full priest unto God, which if Melchisedec was not, but like Bro.
Branham said, God took a handful of dust and breathed into Him, stepped
into Him, this could have been the same in this particular case. And
there’s no record of any, but he following this man. 

	So I look at it very simply, and see and hear that because this was God
indwelling that person, and that flesh was doing that actual ministry,
that was actually God Himself in the High Priest, Who would actually now
come into Jesus, and perform the same thing. 

So therefore, I can see what Bro. Branham was talking about, and it
would not be anything too great for me to accept God in a man, and
especially so in the Prophet of Whom Moses said, “God will raise up a
Prophet like unto me, in Whom you will trust.”

	Now a question comes up in this particular order here, Bro. Branham is
being quoted by Bro. Hall on Godhead here, and these quotes are all
before 1958. 1958, when Bro. Branham started with The Serpent Seed, to
preach all the way through to sow the entire seed of the Bible from the
serpent to the prophet in the former rain. In September, I think it was,
in 1958, he preached The Serpent Seed. Not because this was before 1958,
but I want you to notice all of this was before 1958. Some of these
quotes I will read to you, and before I read them, I just want to read
to you one thing, which is Lk 1:26-35.

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city
of Galilee, named Nazareth,

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of
David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. (All right.)

And the angel came, and said Hail, thou that art highly favored, the
Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 

And …she was troubled at his saying, what manner of salutation (that
was).

The angel said, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.

Behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and call
his name JESUS.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the
Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom
(there’ll) be no end.

Then Mary (said), How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

And the angel answered and said, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
the power of the Highest overshadow thee: therefore that holy thing be
born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Do you hear what I read there? 

(35)	The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of
thee shall be called the Son of God. 

Every single thing I read from Bro. Branham is nothing but that. So
don’t try to put anything to it, which everybody’s going to try to
put to it. Because Bro. Branham simply was embellishing and giving you
his viewpoint from the understanding that when God came down to the womb
of Mary, He created the sperm and the egg that developed into Jesus
Christ, that was the man Jesus Christ, not God. And God inhabited Him at
the River Jordan. So no matter what you think Bro. Branham is saying,
you’d better go to the very end of it, where it says, “The Father
dwelt in the Son, being the tabernacle.” 

So let me read some of the things that’s here. [He Swore By Himself,
12/12/54.] 

[147]	Anybody knows that the blood cell comes from what? The male. Is
that right? The life lays in the blood cell, the blood cell is coming
from the male, not the female. And there is where life is, is in the
male sperm. 

[148]	Notice. Then God Himself came into the womb of virgin Mary and
wrapped Himself in a created blood Cell. Hallelujah. 

Now he’s talking about Luke. He said, “He came in the womb of the
virgin Mary.” He said, “Thou shalt conceive in thy womb. And that
holy thing born of thee shall be called the Son of God. The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee in the
womb.” Create a blood cell, sperm and an egg. He said He wrapped
Himself. Now remember also when the baby came forth, he called him
little Jehovah. He wasn’t big Jehovah; he was little Jehovah. 

[156]	See, what -- what caused this thing back there in the beginning?
Blood. Blood, life was in the blood. Back there is what caused the
beginning. Now, take it away, God Himself was to come down. 

[157]	And He made Himself real little, come into the womb of Mary,
created around Himself, a wall, which was a blood Cell (A man know
nothing about It.), created this blood Cell. The blood cell pushed to
another, another, another, another, all the nerves and everything come
together. And God Himself living in this, making a tabernacle, and He
dwelt in Christ.

	It’s sounds as though Bro. Branham’s trying to tell you something
that’s not in the Bible. See? But notice, you see:

[157]	And He dwelt in Christ. 

Who is Christ? Talking about the Son of God. So, is he telling you that
God created this cell, and wrapped Himself and God came forth? God
became born? 

[218]	What happened to the blood cell? Did it just perish or run out?
No, sir. It sprayed. It loosened up. It loosened up, so many sons could
be born. No sons could be born by this one blood Cell, this one Man.
This one spirit came on the inside…

And he calls Him Man. How can God be a man? Well, the first man was God,
that’s true. But only on the grounds that every specie brings forth
like after his own kind, so if you and I are here as sons and daughters
of God, and we got eyes, nose, ears, throat, kidneys, lungs, everything
else, blame it onto God. It has to be in the bloodline. It came from
God. God said, “I don’t want anybody to make an image of me.” And
when the time for the image to come, what was it? It was a man, Jesus.
The image of God. See? 

[218]	This one spirit come on the inside of the blood Cell, created
around and around Him, like that. No one ever had entered, never would
they before. But God Himself came down and was made a Baby in a manger;
He came up, and was made a Man. 

How? Remember, God spoke of God in Sonship? And the God in an office?
God can’t be born. The Bible said, “God is not a man to change His
mind.” See, so you got to put your scripture together. 

[218]	Everything was wrapped around that one blood Cell. And it was
pierced like that and broke on Calvary; sin scattered it. God raised him
up for it…

Now it doesn’t say God raised Himself up, it said God raised him up.
Are there two gods? A bigger God than God? So that God raised up the God
the God? Are we now to gnosticism, where the Word of God is speaking in
Isaiah, “I am the Lord God, I created everything, I and I alone,”
and a female voice says, “Shut up you idiot, I created you!” 

Come on, that’s gnosticism; I’ve got the book! This is the junk that
Iraneous fought. And you could take this and put this into a place where
Bro. Branham is saying something absolutely blasphemous in the Word –
but he’s not, you got to listen to him. He said, “Was made a Man.”


[218]	And God raised Him up for justification. 

So what’s he talking about? He’s talking about Who and What God was,
and certainly is manifested in this Son of God. The One that died for
us. And He’s the blood of God, because the life of God was in Him,
what else is He? Here it is: [Law, 01/15/55.]

 

[E-32]	In this case, it was not only the life of a human, but it was the
Life of God. God the perfect One Who came into the womb of the virgin
Mary in the form of the Holy Spirit, the Creator Himself bottling
Himself up in a blood cell…  

In other words, God absolutely putting everything now of Himself into
the blood cell. Here’s where you’re going to see God come forth,
this is the ultimate of Almighty God. 

[E-32]	He had no earthly father. Mary was not touched by a man. She was
a virgin. God Himself overshadowed her, in other words the immaculate
conception. 

Now, he’s wrong on that. Immaculate conception means Mary didn’t
have sin. Most everybody misunderstands the word ‘immaculate
conception’. It doesn’t mean that Mary was sinless. See? Mary
actually didn’t have sin with sex or anything else, but she was a
sinner, she had to get saved like anybody else. 

You see, they fought the Catholics on this, the one, she said, “No,
Mary was sinless.” 

“What about her father?” 

“Sinless.” 

Hah. “Where’d she come from? From David?” 

“Yeah.” 

“Was he sinful or sinless?” 

“Well, he sinned.” 

She’s not immaculate. She wasn’t sinless. But she didn’t have a
male.

[E-32]	That God Himself created a blood cell. 

And life came from male, not from the female. 

So it’s telling you that the life of God came to Mary, period! In that
egg, that sperm, and came forth, she being a female incubator. That’s
what it says here. 

[E-32]	The life comes from the male. And if the life comes from the
male, and God was a male in this place, the Holy Spirit, God Himself
then came down in the womb of a woman and formed Himself in the blood
cell. (God’s Own life!)  Oh, my. Believe that and watch what happens
to your blinded eyes. Believe that and watch what happens to your
cancer. 

In other words, you got to really believe the virgin birth; that God
Himself actually came down. And by spiritual, call it intercourse, call
it what you want. Spiritual insemination. God Himself actually formed
that blood cell, and God Himself made sure that that life of Him,
positively, with no interference, nothing else, would come forth as the
pure life of Almighty God in that One, that Elohim Himself inhabited,
that this One died upon the cross, and God raised Him. 

[E-32]	But in this case… Here it is. In this case, it was not only the
life of human, but it was the life of God. God the perfect One come in
the womb of the virgin in the form of the Holy (Ghost), the Creator
Himself bottling Himself in a blood cell…  He had no earthly father. 

See, right down the line. He said, “Believe this.” If you could
believe that, that God actually created that blood cell, that created
the sperm and the egg, you can actually believe that God wrapped Himself
around, completely, everything there, except she was the factory, she
was the womb. It’s a hundred percent of God. This is the Son of God.
The One Who bypassed. 

[E-32]	The blood cell that God got in there Himself and created, like He
did in the first cell, created Himself a cell. It began to spring forth
life and brought forth the Son, Jesus Christ. (Notice, it brought forth
the Son, Jesus Christ.)  

So to me, Bro. Branham was trying to tell us something here; everything
took place in the womb of Mary. And I’m going to be very honest with
you. I do not understand all of his language; I do not understand the
necessity of his language. To me, when he said what he said, God created
it, and what it says in Luke, that is a hundred percent sufficient to
me, rather than any other embellishment. But I know of no place in the
later years, where Bro. Branham in the Seals, or places, began using
such a detailed description, as in here. 

[E-32]	And when a Roman spear, by sin and condemnation, pierced His
sacred heart at the cross, broke that cell into a spray, tearing down
the middle wall of partition, bringing the believer into the body of His
Own Being through the shedding of the Blood... 

[Christ, 02/21/55.]	

[E-42]	Now, in the Blood of the Lord Jesus… God came down out of
glory, brought Himself into the womb of a woman. And there, God, the
Creator, wrapped around Himself and created a Blood cell, the virgin not
knowing any man. 

Is the wrapping around a significant description of some act in there
that was necessary to bring about the procreation? Is it a matter then
of God Himself doing the protecting, so that this One positively would
bring forth the Son that He wanted? These are things that I haven’t
got an answer for; I’m just reading what Bro. Branham said. I do not
understand everything he said. But I can understand more and more what
he’s saying. He said, 

[E-42]	If you don’t believe that, you’re still in sin. She had
nothing to do with a man. God, Himself… Christ was not a Jew. His
Blood was not Jewish, it wasn’t Gentile. It was God’s Blood. The
Blood cell came from the Male, the Male was God. 

So he’s telling you right there how God could come down and procreate
with Mary. And it seemed to me that the driving force is here. That this
Son is a hundred percent of God, period. Where neither Adam nor Eve, nor
any of us ever approximated it. Although we had a part in it through
Mary the virgin. So that she through the chemistry of her body, was able
through that chemistry to supply the body of that One that God Himself
took precedence, or shepherd power over to see that He would be born, so
that later He would inhabit Him. As the scripture says, “God has
charge over thee, lest thou dash thy foot against the stone.” 

So I can see here more and more what he’s saying here. He’s not
saying for one minute that God is His Own Son, or the Son is His Own
Father. 

[E-42]	The Blood cell came from the Male, the Male was God. The Bible
said we’re saved through the Blood of God, no sex in it at all. There
it is.

Now, that’s another reason he’s saying this from Acts 20:28.
[Expectation, 10/01/55.]

[E-19]	Jesus made it so simple until the weakest Christian could do it.
Look when Jesus on earth: He was the Son of God, don’t you believe
that? He was conceived in the womb of Mary and born of virgin birth.
Almighty God overshadowed Mary and created the Blood cell that brought
forth the Son, Jesus Christ. (Doesn’t say He brought forth Himself.) 
And God tabernacled Himself, Jehovah, in that body, in His Son. 

Now see, there is the nitty-gritty and the whole a hundred percent
thing. So the only reason I can understand why Bro. Branham said all
these other things, “The Father dwelt in the Son, being the
tabernacle,” that’s what he says here, very simplistic, very
perfect, is because he wants us to know that this Son, the Son of God,
has nothing to do with mankind whatsoever, and is in the perfect image
of Almighty God Himself, though in a measure He did take upon Himself
the form of Abraham, and the children of men, that He might be the High
Priest and the Brother, because you got to be a kin to be a high priest,
in order to redeem us. But he’s putting the whole thing absolutely
right upon God. 

[Position Of A Believer In Christ,  02/27A/55.]

[E-47]	Under law, under shadows, they get in under the shedding of the
blood of goats and bulls, which we went through, which could not take
away sin. There was life in animal. How could life and spirit of a dead
animal, coming out of the blood of life -- the cell of life, breaking
forth the blood that was shed, ever that life ever returning back in an
animal? or to a man? The life of a lamb, or a heifer, or a goat, or an
animal sacrifice, the blood has been broken for our sins…  That’s
why it never returns back and have anything to do with a human being. It
could not. (Now watch.)  

But God, from the foundation of the world, foreordained that Jesus would
come the perfect Lamb of God, into perfect cell that God Himself
created, to bring Blood into the world, to offer that Blood. 

This one therefore being a hundred percent of God is the blood of God.
And that blood being shed, procreated by God, furnished by God,
gestation by God, using Mary, coming forth into birth in a manger,
coming forth living a life, absolutely perfect, living that perfect
sinless life, God seeing that being the blood of God that could be shed
that you and I have perfection, and therefore have no sin. 

So that’s why Bro. Branham is saying all this. 

[E-47]	But God, before the foundation of the world, foreordained that
Jesus would become the perfect Lamb of God, into a perfect cell that God
Himself created… (Now he leaves out the wrapping around and all these
things,) …to bring the Blood into the world to offer that Blood. 

That’s what he’s saying. And the more you listen to him, the more it
gets clearer that this is the whole thing. Can you believe that this is
all of God and man had nothing to do with it? And that’s what’s
wrong with everything that came from God. Man wants to put something
into it. At the end time you can’t add a word or take a word, or
you’re finished. You’re out of the Lamb’s book of life, to take a
word out, you’re into all the tribulations, and Lamb life doesn’t go
there, if you put a word in. 

[E-47]	And if you can turn Him down in this hour, a love that the
sinner, that was in the Blood cell with His love and the Holy Ghost
Himself, after that offering of that man, come back and possess the
believer…  He brought eternal redemption. 

And so all of these quotes, though some of them as I mentioned here are
very puzzling, and even as I read them, they were puzzling to me till I
began to see what Bro. Branham was actually saying here. And the life
that was in the blood cell of Jesus Christ and none other than God
Himself. The life of God Himself, and God was in Him. But God left Him
on the cross, but was still the blood of God. Why? Because the blood
harbors the life, and the life was nothing but the blood of God. It
never had a thing in Him of Mary, the egg. And never had a thing in Him
of any male, the sperm. Not a thing. A hundred percent totally apart but
had to be carried in a borrowed womb, in order to bring redemption, so
“Behold, a virgin shall bring forth a son. And you’ll call his name
Jesus, and he shall save the world from their sins.” See? 

[Fellowship, 02/12/56.]

[E-50]	The debt that he should pay, he feels that in his own soul. 

And the life that was in the Blood cell of Jesus Christ was none other
than God Himself, and when that Holy Spirit was in Christ’s Blood came
back on him and makes him a new creature in Christ Jesus. Therefore
man’s spirit is blended out, and God comes in and takes over. 

So what Bro. Branham is saying here actually boils down to nitty-gritty,
as we had nothing to do with Jesus Christ. Everything had to do with
God. And that One came and offered Himself upon a sacrifice, the cross.
And that life that was shed was the very blood of Almighty God. And the
blood that was shed, propitiated, opening the way for us to have
communion with God. And the only way to have communion with God, be
taught of God, is being born again by the baptism with the Holy Ghost,
and so now that life comes back upon us and we’re perfectly, and
perfectly one with Almighty God. And it’s all of God. No man, no
woman, no nothing. No hail Mary’s, nope. No joint privilege with
Christ. What do they call her? Joint justifier or something. No joint
redemptrix. Forget it, it’s all gone. 

Bro. Branham said, “If you can see that, you can really say, that’s
it.” And disassociate yourself once and for all from any part that you
have, had now, or later, play in redemption. You can be healed. Why? You
know why? Because the same One that your Redeemer is your Healer, and if
you had nothing to do with your redemption, you’ve got nothing to do
with your healing, you’ve got nothing to do with your keeping, none of
those things, that’s all in God’s hand, you have only one thing
given you, you’re a vessel with the privilege of having God’s Word
that you can believe it and obey it, you can live it. You won’t be
perfect. If you were, you wouldn’t need a mediator. If you were
perfect you wouldn’t need a Savior. If you were perfect you wouldn’t
need anything. 

In other words Bro. Branham is trying to show us the wholeness of God,
even as he opening the Seals, like a man overcome, he said, “It was
Christ all the time.” 

So you see what we’re driving at. Sorry to take your time, long tape,
put it on a hundred and twenty, and forget it. Because each day, and
I’m sorry it’s the truth, but each day just leaves me more and more
tired, and more and more unequipped to handle the Word of God at all.
It’s just getting too much. And you can understand that, if you
can’t, you wait till you’re eighty-three, and you have in your home
a situation which is very, very difficult, because of more than one
thing. Number one is illness, and the second is love, you just can’t
do too much. All right, let’s bow our heads in prayer.

Heavenly Father, at the closing of the Word this service, we go to Foot
Washing and Communion, as Your grace was with us in the Word of God, we
humbly ask You Lord and hopefully believe that we have handled the Word
correctly, and seen these things now and put them in their true light,
because some things are very, very difficult, and yet, we are able to
see them if we just believe you, and know what the prophet said was
right. What did he mean? What did he say? And we believe now we have
seen the truth and understand it, O God, and we praise You for it. Help
us now in the Communion Service, in Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

Communion Service

Now, in the Book of Hebrews 11, speaking on faith, it says in the 4th
verse, 

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by
which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his
gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Now, the excellent sacrifice of Abel was the shedding of the blood of an
innocent lamb. And by the shedding of the blood, and only by the
shedding of the blood did Abel have a voice. That voice was the voice of
communication with God while he was on earth. And when he died, he still
had a voice, because of the blood. 

And you can see the illustration there in the 16th chapter, I think, in
the Book of Luke, where the rich man died, and being in misery, and in
flames lifted up his head, and he communicated to God – this is a
parable of course, he communicated to God in this parable – and he
said, “Now I’m in this terrible place here and Lazarus is in the
good place. And Lazarus ate my crumbs and I treated him like a bum,
because he is a bum, and no doubt he’s still a bum, so why don’t You
have him come over here and dip his finger in water and give me some
help?” This fellow’s a corker. He’s a sinner. 

And God said, “He can’t, there’s a great gulf fixed.” He said,
“He can’t come over here, he can’t communicate with you. In
fact,” He said, “at this time you can talk to me and I’m talking
to you, but I’m not listening to you. But I’m listening to
Lazarus.” 

Now, Lazarus had a voice back there to God and can communicate because
of the blood, because I’m putting him with Abel. But you see, the rich
man, he turned on God. He’s the rich man that Bro. Branham spoke of,
the rich young ruler that couldn’t give up his goods, that built many
barns to hold his goods, and he died! See, he turned on the blood. So
the rich man could not communicate with God. Oh, he could talk, but God
couldn’t answer him. Just say, “No dice, no way, no way, no way.”
But Lazarus is different.

	And that’s the way it is with the blood. The blood gives us the
privilege of speaking to God, and we do. Absolutely, without the blood
you and I couldn’t pray. Without the blood you and I couldn’t get an
answer. Without the blood you and I’d be condemned. 

	Now, the beautiful thing is when we die, because of that blood, and
it’s called a speaking blood, we can still communicate with God, on
the highest level ever, until we actually become glorified. And Bro.
Branham proves that. Because in the vision beyond the curtain of time,
he’s not in the Presence of God, or of Jesus, but he’s in the
ineffable glory, where he is with those of the Seventh Church Age
Message. And they’re young, beautiful people. Everybody redundant with
the beauty and glory of God, and the fountain of youth, just marvelous,
scintillating with life and beauty. And the ninety-year-old woman hugged
him and said, “My precious brother.” 

And the angel said, “Do you know who that was?” 

He said, “No.” 

“She was ninety-one years old when she got saved in your ministry, now
look at her now.” 

Sixteen, eighteen, nineteen years old. In the beauty of youth, in the
joy of youth, in the power of youth. And it’s because of what? The
blood. Because without the blood, William Branham and none of those
people that are there now, and you and I, could not approach unto God
for redemption and receive the Holy Ghost. Because when you’re truly
under the blood, the blood speaks for you and me, and the Spirit
answering to the blood comes down and fills us with Himself. And no
matter if you and I were in the grave, that’s just our bodies there.
We have access to God in the range, and the medium, the place where God
places us, and notice, it gets higher and higher. Until one day, because
of that blood shed, and because the efficacy, the Lamb with the wounds
upon His hands, in His side, the thorns on His brow, the riven side, the
Lamb on the throne, and what? The Pillar of Fire above the throne. And
there before we even ask He answers. 

So see what the blood does? It takes you all the way from “Ask and you
shall receive”. If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you can
say to this mountain, “Be removed.” But over there, you don’t ask
anything. Now, it’s always God talking to you, and blessing, and
opening your eyes, that’s why I’m convinced that even the New
Jerusalem is a place of further revelation, and further sanctification.
I don’t believe for one minute that anybody under any consideration
can ever exhaust the glory of Almighty God, the riches of His grace, the
beauty of His Word, and what He is continually unfolding and doing,
because no man can measure infinity. No man. No man can measure God. No
man can think the thoughts of God. They must be given to him. When man
turned down the blood of the covenant, trampled it underfoot, that blood
was to see that the covenant Word of God, which is God Himself operating
on our behalf, for our good, would come to us, and never, ever be taken
from us. 

So tonight when you and I take the emblems of the shed blood and the
broken body, remember without the breaking of the blood cell, the body,
that one born of the virgin, God Himself, His Own Father, through
creating and putting that life in there, that breaking, the shedding of
blood, confirmed a hundred percent the covenant, which we now have
through the baptism with the Holy Ghost, irrevocable. That’s what it
means tonight, the emblems. And if He had not died upon Calvary, that
life could not have come back upon us, we could not have been sealed
into God, Who definitely, of His Own will, and He cannot change, must
give us, as the Father, everything that lies within Him, which is
infinite. That’s what is signified by the speaking blood. Yup. Every
Old Testament saint, that’s Bride, is somewhere in a glorified body.
In a dimension. Don’t get puzzled, and don’t ever think for one
minute, that anything that God ever did is not a means to an end.
Because it is. And that end is God Himself, legislating, ministering, in
your life and mine, Himself to us, and all the things that lie within
it. And remember, all that lies will be manifested. Certainly, because
this whole thing comes into Logos. Can’t get away from it. It’s got
to be there for us.

	And so here we take tonight these emblems that signify we understand
this, we are a part of it, and this tells us we’re talking to God, our
voice is heard, our lives are open, we’re in communication, in
fellowship with Him, and this says, “These are those emblems that have
done it for us.” 

At this time then shall we rise. The brethren come forward. Now you know
how we all come from your right hand, my left hand, and circle around.
We have one serving the bread, and two serving the wine, because it
makes it much easier. Shall we bow our heads in prayer. 

	Heavenly Father, as we come this time to actually participate in that
which we have been talking about, it is really too wonderful, and it
seems to the world, and even to us at times, is this something so simple
that could actually mean all of that, the shedding of the blood of that
righteous One, to give us the covenant promises, what lies within You, O
God? Even those things which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard. And even
that which though hinted in the Word, will be so greatly more amplified.
Does this signify that that One, how we now honor and respect by these
emblems means all of this? And we know Lord that it does. We know that
it does. Even as one teeny drop of seawater could contain everything and
the billions and billions of tons that’s in the sea, shows us that
this is true. And we’re honoring You, and it means we believe, Lord,
and if there’s any unbelief in us, help us to believe as we’ve never
believed before. Because Bro. Branham did tell us, vindicated prophet of
God, to believe this, what we’ve heard tonight and what we know now,
gives us healing. Gives us all we need, which is in You. May we
recognize that, Lord, and cease from being people that simply partake.
As James said, “People who look in the Bible as in a mirror, and go
away as though they had not looked in it.” Having beheld it, now
forget. 

Lord, tonight, help us not to forget. Whereunto we have repented to take
on Your mind. Let it have the preeminence. That’s what I want, Lord,
and everybody here wants it too, we just don’t know how to express it.
Perhaps many things we just don’t understand or haven’t entered into
it. Help us, Lord. Would not one of us miss anything. In the Name of
Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
