What God is Doing Now # 2

Bro. Lee Vayle   - August 17, 1980

	

Let’s just pray.

	Heavenly Father, again we come unto You at this time for Your help and
encouragement, Lord, the divination of Your Word that we might know the
things that are now in this hour, only freely given us. And, Father, we
depend upon you, believe that You hear us, to help us, and You help us
and will continue to help us in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. You may be
seated.

1.	Now, there's a quote that Bro. Branham made from 'Daniel's Seventieth
Week' that I have used many times, from starting Ephesians 1:15-23, and
Bro. Branham said, "The Spirit of wisdom comes into the Church to make
known to the Church by the revelation of the Holy Spirit." 

	Now, you notice the words here are very, very accurate. "The Spirit of
wisdom comes into the Church to make known to the Church, (nobody else)
and by the revelation of the Holy Spirit, bringing the Church in." Now,
bringing the Church in is correct, bringing into revelation, bringing it
into union, etc, and revealing what day we're living in. Just the same
as Gabriel came to Daniel, the Holy Spirit comes to the Church in the
last days to reveal these great deep secret things. Which is in major to
reveal the day we're living in, and what is actually going on.

2.	So, that's what this message is about this morning. And it will be
actually number six since I started this in May. So, we're going to go
to 1 Corinthians [15:] again where we find the most illuminating
Scripture, beginning at verse 20. And you'll remember that we showed you
how the First Age parallels the last Age that Paul had the same problems
there as we have today. Everything has repeated according to the Book of
Ecclesiastes chapter 3, and he brings out the Headship of God, then puts
everything else in order to It, and then goes on to the Resurrection.
And we find the same thing here epitomized, or brought into a nutshell
revelation.

		(20 )	But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first
fruits 						of them that slept. (That's already taken place in the
first part of 						the First Resurrection.)

		(21) 	For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection 	
				of the dead. (Now, that the dead have come back to life, first half 
					of the First Resurrection and also will happen at the end time.)

		(22) 	For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive. 						(That's identical manner)

		(23) 	But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits;
afterward they 					that are Christ's at his (Presence, or Parousia.
That has nothing to 						do with the literal Coming in the body, It is
the Parousia.)

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

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

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

		(27) 	For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all
things 					are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, (or
left out) 						which did put all things under him.

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

3.	Now, I would say that the most important verse concerning what we're
talking about, which is the hour when which we live and what is going on
this day; the most important verse there is the first part of 27. "For
he hath put all things under his feet…"

	Now, we have to read the rest of that, because Paul explained what is
meant by "putting all things under His feet," so that no one can mistake
verse 24.

		(24) 	Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom
					to God, even the Father; when he (and that sounds like It's Jesus,
but 					It's not. It's when He the Father) shall have put down all rule
and all 					authority and power.

	So, It is not Jesus the man that is putting all things under His Own
feet. But God the Father is putting all things in Divine order, because
verses 27 and 28 are emphatic in the subject matter of order and
ranking.

4.	Now, we can prove that this is the correct understanding of this
Scripture. For verse 27, "For he hath put all things under his feet," is
taken from Psalms 8:1-9. But we're going to back there and consider the
Scripture.

		(1) 	O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! 			
		who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

		(2) 	Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast ordained
strength 					because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the
enemy and the 					avenger.

		(3) 	When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
the 					stars, which thou hast ordained;

		(4) 	What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,
that 					thou visitest him?

		(5) 	For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned 					him with glory and honour.

		(6) 	Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou 					hast put all under his feet:

		(7) 	All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

		(8) 	The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever
passeth 						through the paths of the seas.

		(9) 	O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

 	Now, there can be no mistaking that this is God speaking what He has
done for and to the Son.

5.	Now, therefore what we see over here in 1 Corinthians 15: is Jesus
both in the Millennium  of the First Resurrection, Jesus in the Second
Resurrection, and Jesus both in the First Resurrection, Jesus in the
Second Resurrection, and Jesus in the New Jerusalem of the new heavens
and the new earth. That there are literally three major divisions of
what has started to take place, and what will take place.

	Now, the proof that there are three parts here that what God is doing
is for Jesus in the First Resurrection and the Millennium. In the Second
Resurrection, and then concerning the New Jerusalem we find that proof
in Hebrews chapter 1:1-14, and 2:1-18, which of course are the two
chapters.

		(1) 	God, who at sundry times in divers manners in time past spake
unto 					the fathers (in) the prophets, (not by, but in.)

		(2) 	Hath in these last days spoken unto us (in) his Son, whom he hath
						appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

		(3) 	Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of
his 					person, upholding all things by the word of his power, when he
had 					by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the
Majesty 					on high:

		(4) 	Being made so much better than angels, as he hath by inheritance 
					obtained a more excellent name than they.

		(5) 	For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my
Son, 						this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a
Father, 						and he shall be to me a Son?

		(6) 	And again, when he bringeth in the first (born) into the world,
he saith, 					let all the angels of God worship him.

		(7) 	And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and
his 						ministers a flame of fire.

		(8) 	But unto the Son he (said), Thy throne, O God, is for ever and
ever: 					a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

		(9) 	Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God,
even 					thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows.

		(10) 	And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of
the earth; 					and the heavens are the works of thine hands: (See,
you're going back 					to the Book of Psalms again)

		(11) 	They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax
old as 						doth a garment;

		(12) 	And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be
changed: 					but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. (And
that goes right 					back to Hebrews 12:) 

		(13) 	But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right
hand, until 					I make thine enemies thy footstool? (Now notice, Who's
doing the talking, 				see? I've someone who’s going to make a
footstool of enemies for somebody 				else.) 

		(14) 	Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for
them 						who shall be heirs of salvation? 

6.	[Hebrews 2:]

		(1) 	Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things
which 					we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

		(2) 	For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every
transgression 					and disobedience received a just recompence of
reward;

		(3) 	How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at
the 						first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto
us by 					them that heard him;

		(4) 	God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and 	
				with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his 
					own will?

		(5) 	For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to
come, 					(It doesn't talk about this world, this) world to come,
whereof we 						speak. (But, He's already said, He's going to have this
world to come.)

		(6) 	But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that
thou art 					mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?

		(7) 	Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst
him 					with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy
hands: … 					(These two people are in question here.)

		(8) 	Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet… (ranked
under 					his feet.) 

7.	In Ranking. Now if you're following me and you understand Bro.
Branham's Message, you can see why he literally cursed from the pulpit
organization, denomination hierarchy. There's no way he could stand with
the Scripture and not curse it. No way! It's Jesus that the Church is
under, God has said so, and God seeing to it. How are you going to have
a pope or something else? (See?) There's people in this Message get
carried away with their importance. Who's importance? Ain't one of you
here. I've got the highest rank of any member here, and I ain't nothing.
I'm worst than nothing, because I've got a responsibility and I can't
even discharge it like I meant. So, get that down flat. (See?)

		(8) 	Thou hast put all things in (order) under his feet…. (ranking
us.)						(Oh, to hear people talk, they're bigger than God) For in that
he 						put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not
put under 					him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
(Hoping's aren't 					under Him yet. It's a progression.)

		(9) 	But we see Jesus, (I wish we did) who was made a little lower
than 					the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and
honour; 					that he by the grace of God should taste death for every…
(cross that 					word 'man' out of your Bible, it should be in italics.)
 

		(10) 	For it became him, …

8.	It's 'every' and you'll find what everyone is down here, it's 'every
son'. "For as in Adam all died, even so in Christ all are made alive."
[1 Cor, 15:22] (See?) The Bible never makes a mistake, it's these birds
that fool with It. 

			(10) 	For it became him, (from)…

	Like Bro. Branham said, "My God, keep me from preachers, every time
they get together all those birds are getting messed up." 

		(10) 	For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all 
					things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of 		
			their salvation perfect through sufferings.

		(11) 	For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified (that's
the 						sum and all the little children, you see the seed) are all of
one: 						(they're all of God) for which cause he is not ashamed to
call them 						brethren, (See?)

	Now, that's the reason He's not ashamed to call them brethren. You and
I look at ourselves this morning…I shouldn't be talking this way,
that's more of a pastor's message than mine. I should stick to doctrine.
But I can't help throwing a couple of things in. Hey, He looks at us and
my Lord we can be a mess. You say, "Jesus is ashamed of that person."
No, He's not, not if he's a child of God he can't be. You’ve got to
know, that's pretty good. You bet it's pretty good, it's downright
wonderful. (See?) 

		(12)	Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, (exegesis, I'm 
					going to exegete it, reveal the name in) the midst of the church
will 					I sing praise unto thee. (That's Jesus)

		(13) 	And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and
the 						children which God hath given me.

		(14) 	Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
he 					also himself likewise took (a) part (He never took it all,
because 						there's no serpent seed in Him, no wrong gene, and)
through death 						he might destroy… (that's not destroy, but bring
to nothing eventually) 					him that had the power of death, that is,
the devil;

		(15) 	And deliver them who through fear of death were all their
lifetime 						subject to bondage.

		(16) 	For verily he took not on him the nature (or that physical that
which 					pertains to) angels; but he took on him (that which pertains
to) the 						seed of Abraham. (That's identification)

		(17) 	Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his
brethren, 					that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in
things pertaining 					to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of
the people. (That's 						bring us back to God)

		(18) 	For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able
to 						(help) them that are tempted.

 	Now, immediately I want you to note something that we'll look into
later under identification, and that is in chapter 2:14-18 we saw that
what God is now doing for Jesus in placing everything but God Himself
under Jesus, is because Jesus paid the price to bring us our salvation.
This is why Joseph is the perfect type in the days of Israel’s
sanctuary in Egypt.

9.	We go over here to Genesis 41: and we read 38-45. Now:

		(38) 	And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as 		
			this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? (Now see, he'll never 		
			find One like Jesus with the Spirit of God, because the fullness lay 
					in the Logos lay in there. See?)

		(39) 	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed 					
thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:

	Then you see, if that same Spirit comes back to the Church, it's going
to be in wisdom and discretion.

		(40) 	Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall 	
				all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than 		
			thou. (See?)

		(41) 	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the
land 					of Egypt.

		(42) 	And Pharaoh took off his ring (identification) from his hand,
and 						put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine
linen, 					and put a gold chain about his neck; (symbols of authority)

		(43) 	And made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and 			
		they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over 					
all the land of Egypt.

		(44) 	And Pharaoh said (to) Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee
shall 					no man lift up his hand (without Jesus, no man can lift if
up) in all 						the land of Egypt.

10.	And with that, we go back again the Psalms 8:2

		(2) 	Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength 					because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the
enemy and the 					avenger.

	Now notice, coming between enemy and God stands Jesus Christ, so that
the enemy cannot possibly win.

	In Matthew 21:14-16, we see where this verse that I read to you was
literally fulfilled.

		(14) 	And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he
healed 					them.

		(15) 	And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things 
					that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, 			
		Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

		(16) 	And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus
(said,) 						Yea; have (you) never read, Out of the mouth of babes and
sucklings 					thou hast perfected praise?

		(17) 	And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; …

 	Now, we further elucidate on part one, (and remember what I
interpolated there, was on the grounds show you what God is doing for
Jesus, in bringing this Bride is because of His paying the price of His
life for her redemption.

11. Now, we're looking forward to this section concerning the fact that
in 1 Corinthians 15: here, the first part speaks of Jesus in the
Resurrection and the Millennium and what God is doing. So, we want to
elucidate on that, we'll go back again and teach…going back always to
see our text in,  1 Corinthians 15:20-23 so we don't get away from the
facts and the text, and context.

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

	This is the fruit what has already happened is established. Then he
tells you:

		(21) 	For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection 	
				of the dead. (The same ones that died are brought back. One man 				
	brought death, One man brings life.)

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

		(23) 	But (get this) every man in his own order: (every man) Christ
(is 						a man) the first fruits; afterward (those men that we read
about in 						Hebrews, the sons,) are Christ's at his (Parousia.)

	Not physical coming, It doesn't say that. It's says the 'Parousia', His
Present, we'll hit that later again. Then the end. (See?)

12.	Now, to explain 20-23 in there:

		(20) 	…Christ risen from the dead, 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 all (are) made alive.

	Now, we see there is something presented to us here. That there is
going to be a resurrection of all those that died in Adam. Then verse 23
gives the Divine order.   

		(23) 	…(Christ) every man in his own order: (he tells you there is
an order) 					Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's
at his (Presence.)

	Now, this is the Divine order of the Headship of Jesus after the
Priesthood to the Gentiles run out. He isn't Priest anymore. Soon as the
Resurrection comes into being, He is no longer a Priest to the Gentiles.
The order of the priesthood has run out. So, [verse] 23 has three parts.


		(23)	…every man in his own order: …

	 And remember, God, Jesus is a man. So, we see there is an order, or a
ranking. And then the next two parts explains the order and the time of
it. Christ the first-fruits, He's the Head. Afterward they that are
Christ's at the time of His Presence, nobody else at that particular
time. (See?)

 	Now, again verse 22. 

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

	We have to recognize at this verse, It has to be recognized, and to do
so, we're going to go back to Genesis 1:24-30. Now, I'm taking all of
these very, very slowly with many Scripture ramifications in order that
we begin to see what is going on at this particular hour. And the time,
because the Spirit of God is in the Church to reveal the time, and what
lies in that time. And we take it from what Bro. Branham taught us. 

13.	 Genesis 1:24-31. All right:

		(24) 	And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature
after his 						kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth
after his kind: 					and it was so.

		(25) 	And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle
after 						their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the earth
after his kind: 					and God saw that it was good.

		(26) 	And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
and 					let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of 					the air, over the cattle, over all the earth, over every
creeping thing 						that (creeps) upon the earth.

	Now, that's what God wanted, and that's what God's eventually going to
get.     

		(27) 	So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created
					he him; male and female created he them.

	That's fine, He did the same thing for Jesus, the very Image, expressed
Image of Almighty God. But in a way, it was not done in Adam and Eve.
(See?) But if you see the…you can see when Paul says 'in identical
manner', you are not stepping outside the realms of pure Scripture,
because it is in identical manner. They were in the image of God, and
Jesus was the expressed Image of God. Where are you going to go? (Uh?)
In identical manner. Everything in harmony.

14.	Now: 

		(28) 	And God blessed them, and said unto them, Be fruitful, (well,
wasn't 					Jesus fruitful?) and multiply, (wasn't He multiplied?)
replenish the 						earth, (doesn't He do it?) subdue it: and have
dominion over the fish 					of the sea, the fowl of the air, …every
living thing that (moves) upon  					the earth.

		(29) 	And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed,
which 					is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the
which is the fruit 					of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for
meat.

		(30) 	(So,) every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air,
and to 						every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is
life, I have 					given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

		(31) 	And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was
very 					good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

15.	Now, we go to [Genesis] chapter 2:16-20.

		(16) 	 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree 					
of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

		(17) 	But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt
not eat 					of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt
surely die.

		(18) 	And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man be alone; I
will 					make him an help meet for him.

		(19) 	And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the
field, 					and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see
what he 					would call them: (whatever) Adam called every living
creature, that 					was the name thereof. (Well, where do you think he
got the names? It 					was in him.)

		(20) 	And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air,
and to 					every beast of the field; (you noticed, he never got down
any further 					though) but for Adam there was not found an help meet
for him.

16.  Now, Genesis 3:17-19

		(17) 	And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the
voice 					of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded
thee, 					saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for
thy sake; in 					sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

		(18) 	Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou
shalt eat 					the herb of the field;

		(19) 	In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat (thy) bread, till thou
return unto 					the ground; for out of it thou wast taken: for dust
thou art, and unto 					dust shalt thou return.

	[Verses] 22-24

		(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 for ever:

		(23) 	Therefore, the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden,
to 					till the ground from whence he was taken. (He couldn't till the
Garden 					of Eden, see)

		(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 (them 					from the) way of the tree of life.

17.	And in Genesis 5:1-5

		(1)	This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God 	
				created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

		(2) 	Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called
their 					name Adam, in the day when they were created.

		(3) 	And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in
his 					own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:

		(4) 	And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight
hundred 					years: and he begat sons and daughters:

		(5) 	And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty
years: 					and he died. (And they've been dying ever since, because in
Adam 						all died.)

18.	 Now, we're going to go back to see in 1 Corinthians 15:35, exactly,
"as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all will be made alive." [verse
22]

		(35) 	But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what
					body do they come?

		(36) 	…fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

		(37) 	And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall
be, 					but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other…

	Now notice, what he's talking about the Resurrection here.

		(38) 	But God (gives) it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every
seed 						his own body.

		(39) 	All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh
of men, 					another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, another of
birds.

		(40) 	…celestial bodies, terrestrial: the glory of the celestial is
one, the 						glory of the terrestrial is another.

		(41) 	There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon,
another 						glory of the stars: (and one) one star differeth from
another star in 						glory.

		(42) 	So also is the resurrection of the dead. 

	Now, what he named? Everything there is. As in everything in Adam died,
everything has got to come back. Birds, fish, everything else. What is
it…the passenger pigeon? And various birds, and things that off the
earth today. They're going to come back. I don't know if they're going
to come back in the same number that went off, whether God's going to do
as He does with us. So, there's like an election there? I don't know,
and I care less. But I do care that the Bible says what happened to Adam
is rectified by Jesus and it starts in the Resurrection. (See?) There's
going to be a resurrection of all things, and people laughed at Bro.
Branham having his horse and dog. They're stupid. They don’t believe
the Bible. They got some circumcised idea, mutilated, pitiful idea what
God's going to do. Let me tell you, "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,"
[1 Cor 2:9] but there's a revelation here what God's going to do, and
nobody wants to believe it. Because He's almost way beyond you. (See?)  

19.	Now, this is your resurrection. Watch, we keep reading: It is those
the Resurrection.

		(42) 	…sown in corruption; raised in incorruption:

		(43) 	…sown in dishonour; raised in glory: sown in weakness; raised
in 						power:

		(44) 	…sown a natural body; raised a spiritual body. There is a
natural body, 					(there's) a spiritual body.

		(45) 	…it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the
last 					Adam was made a quickening spirit.

		(46) 	Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is
natural; 					and afterward that which is spiritual.

		(47) 	The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the
Lord from 					heaven. (Didn't say he was of the earth, said Lord in
heaven.)

		(48) 	As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is
the heavenly, 					such are they also that are heavenly.

		(49) 	And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear
the 					image of the heavenly.

		(50) 	Now this I say, brethren, flesh and blood (per se, as it is)
cannot inherit 					the kingdom…

	Because it's corruption, and you're not going to go there and spoil
that one, you're going to be in harmony. See?)  

20.	Now, let's just find out, we go back again to Psalms 8:5-9 see, I've
weaving back and forth so you don't have to make any mistakes. 

		(5) 	For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and
crowned 						him with glory and honour.

		(6) 	(You made) him to have dominion over the works of (Your) hands; 	
			(You) put all things under his feet:

		(7) 	All sheep and oxen, yea, (all) the beasts of the field;

		(8) 	The fowl(s) of the air, and the fish of the sea, and (whatever)
passeth 					through the paths of the seas.

		(9) 	O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

	Restoration, isn't this restoration ministry? People don't know what
Bro. Branham brought under Elijah restoration. The idea is to let you
know what restoration is, and what your Age is right now. This is that
hour. I don't care what anybody sees, or thinks he sees. The Spirit of
God is here to place what is going on. The thunder, the veil, the
thunder, cover. "Thou hast revealed it to babes." [Mat. 11:25]  

	I'll tell you what a babe's like, he's just like I was when I was a
kid. My mother used to tell a little bed time story. When she ran out of
what she was taught in herself, she made them up. I remember one time
that she told us when she came across the ocean, what they went through
(you know) passage in those days was pretty risky, was pretty rough, she
said she saw a mermaid. Well, I went to school the teacher ask us
about…grade one or two, "are there any mermaids?" And every kid said,
"No." And I said, "There are mermaids, I know because my mother told me
so, she saw one." [laughter] Out of the mouths of babes. Now, you don't
believe a lie, you believe the truth. But you've got to be simple
minded. Not an idiot. Just have a simple mind about you.

21.	So, make no mistake about it, this is Jesus the millennial man of
the First Resurrection, and the entire First-fruit. That's what the
Scripture said. Now, let's see if it's the entire First-fruit, Ephesians
2: now you just string along with me, because you need to know these
things, or I wouldn't be preaching them to you. You got to place them
with Scripture. (See?) That's what's wrong with people, they don't know
the doctrine, so they run with every quote under high heaven. 

	Like a guy I got a letter from him he had a ball of fire at his feet,
and he called it the 'pillar of fire'. That's balls of fire and only the
palms of the hands and blood. That's of the devil. Another kid came to
me and said, "There's a pillar of fire, I saw it come down, and then
four people saw it. And the prophet said, "Stay away from that pillar of
fire." And he wants me to preach something jazz and nonsense. Come on,
don't give me all this kind of crud. People quote, quote, quote, don't
know the doctrine. Let's get the doctrine, what's going on? (See?) 

22.	What's He doing? What's happening? I'll tell you more about later,
see why you've got to know it. Ephesians 2:11-22.

		(11) 	Wherefore remember, that (you) being in time past Gentiles (of) 
					flesh, called Uncircumcision by…the Circumcision…  

		(12) 	That ye were without Christ, aliens…(without) hope, without
God…  

 		(13) 	But now in Christ Jesus (you) who (didn't have anything, or)
made 						nigh (and part through the) the blood of (Jesus.)

		(14) 	…he is our peace… (he broke) down the middle wall between
us;

		(15) 	(And he) abolished the enmity, (and) the law of commandments…	
				(and made) himself of twain one new man, making peace;

		(16) 	…that he might reconcile both (Jew and Gentile) unto God in
one 						body by the cross, (Old and New Testament saints) having slain
						the enmity thereby:

		(17) 	And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, to them 
					that were nigh. (See, both Jew and Gentile.)

		(18) 	For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the
Father.

		(19) 	Now therefore (you're) no more strangers and foreigners, but
fellow-					citizens with the saints, of the household of God;

		(20) 	…built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
(where 						they were built upon the foundation of the patriarchs)
Jesus Christ 						himself being the chief corner stone; (no less a
chief corner stone to them.)

		(21) 	In whom all the building (both Jew and Gentile, Old and New 				
	Testament, the two olive trees on both sides) fitly framed together 			
		groweth unto an holy temple (the complete Body of) the Lord 					
(Jesus Christ.)

		(22) 	In whom (you) also are builded…

	Notice, he put the second place, "you also builded." You can't have an
out place also, unless you've got something to start with. (See?) So
therefore, Christ the First-fruit. He's got the First-fruit already of
the Old Testament. Now the first-fruit of the new guy, got to come up,

		(22) 	In whom (you) also are builded together for an (holy) habitation
of…					(Almighty God.)  

 	Now, with verses 12 and 13,

		(12) 	That at that time (you) were without Christ, being aliens from
the 						commonwealth of Israel, and (so on.)

		(13) 	But now in Christ Jesus (you) are made nigh…  

23.	We go back to Matthew 27:50-53. Now, if they were of use.  If we
were the ones that weren't nigh, they were the ones that were nigh, now
let's see what It said about them. That's a big long chapter.

		(50) 	Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, (he gave up
the 						Spirit, the Holy Ghost.)

		(51) 	And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the
top to 					bottom; the earth did quake, the rocks rent;

		(52) 	…the graves opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept
arose,

		(53) 	And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into
the 					holy city, and appeared unto many.

	Now, after His Resurrection He led them out. And It doesn't say they
all came out. It says the Elect came out, many. They had their election,
"Esau have I hated and Jacob have I loved." [Rom. 9:13] (See?) "Many
more the children of death, then she which hath a husband."  [Gal.
4:27b] There's a whole bunch there in Adam. But every last one is going
to be saved, but in their own order they're going to come up. And the
order is Jesus at the Parousia. At His Presence, the same as He was
Present there when the dead came up, He will be Present here, but not in
His physical body. Because when He came…He had to go down in the grave
without a physical body. And He couldn't pick up His physical body
except one jump ahead of those coming behind Him they can pick up
theirs.

	So, how did He preach to them? He preached without a body the souls in
prison. And He preached to those there too without a body, physical, to
those same ones that had to wait. And He came out of the grave, then
they got their bodies. It's the same thing right today. You can't
reverse the order, you got to keep it exactly right. (See?) 

24.	All right, so at this time here when He gave that mighty Shout,
which was a death cry, yet a victory cry, because death was coming
against death. Sure, it takes death to bring about …?... Bro. Branham
taught you that. He said the doctor gives you a certain amount of poison
to inject. And those things he injects in you, you are poisoned. But
you've got to know just where to stop, and just what to apply. And it
took death to overcome death. The same as they claim that you look
through a red piece of glass at a red piece of cloth, it turns white.
(See?) Blood looking down upon red sin, the virulence of sin …?...

	Now, here we find that that cry of His wakened those to the fact of
something was going to happen. And He went down there and confronted
them. (See?) Then He brought them forth. Now, they are the ones. (See?)

25.  Now, watch that…the first group that came up out of the election,
the Old Testament. Now there's number two election to come up in the New
Testament. But let's see if there’s something else we want to look at
here and that is over in Revelation 14: now we're covering the whole
thing. Now remember, we are interested in the hour in which we live and
what is going on. And what is going on, is that last stage of God after
the Priesthood of Jesus. And during the time of His Parousia is putting
everything under His feet. (Now, we'll check in that a little more, but
just want to keep always aware what we're talking about. And we're
showing you that the first part deals with the Resurrection and the
Millennium, chapter 14.

		(1) 	And I looked, and, lo, (behold) a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, 	
				and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, (now Sion is going 
				way down the road, but don't worry, that's the New Jerusalem) having
					his Father's name written in their foreheads.

		(2) 	And I heard a voice from heaven, the voice of many waters, the 		
			voice of a great thunder: I heard the voice of harpers harping with 	
				their harps:

		(3) 	And they sung as it were a new song…

	It doesn't say the sang a new song, they sung a song as it were, a new
song. I want to tell you something, Jesus doesn't have a new name at
this moment as far as I know that's not Jesus. But I want to tell you,
it's a mighty new name to most of us to really realize what's in It.
Now, I'm not taking away Bro. Branham said, because he schooled me.
About what's written in the Church Age Book, I said, "Bro. Branham, I
haven't said anything ." 

	And he said, "Well, you said just enough."

	I said, "What do you mean? I don't know what I am saying, I'm just
quoting you."

	He said, "That's fine, leave it that way." He said, "If you said
anymore, (he said) they'd become fanatic, unless you haven't said
anything at all. Leave it." 

	Yet he said in there, people screaming, jump up and down or getting
worse at the Name of Jesus. But there's a new Name coming. Will that new
Name be a revelation as some people in this Message try to say? Don't
ask me, I don't know. I'm not about to guess.

 	When I made a hypothetical thought here, (it isn't truly a
hypothetical on this way) because I want to tell you until about two
months ago the Name Lord Jesus Christ did not ring a bell in Its entire
revelation until God struck It here in the pulpit. And I saw that His
Name, He that raises our dead bodies, His Name is Lord Jesus Christ.
You'll never change me now, it's all too late. I hope you've got the
same revelation. You don't, it's alright, you got what you've got, I got
what I've got. What you need in your measure, I need in a different
measure.

26.	Now, listen, 

		(3) 	And they sung as it were a new song… (It doesn't say was, as it
						were a new song) and before the four beasts, and the elders: and 	
				no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four 				
	thousand, which were redeemed from the earth

		(4) 	These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are 		
			virgins. (And they) are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever 				
	he goeth. (They) were redeemed from among men, being the 						first
fruits unto God and to the Lamb.

	They will be in the First Resurrection number three. Old Testament, New
Testament, a hundred and forty-four thousand. Remember also, though
there are two witnesses up, making four. And they'll all have part of
the First Resurrection in the Millennium, though you see them here on
Mount Zion. Certainly, you'll see them here on Mount Zion if they're
first-fruit. Where else are you going to see them? Because they're the
ones who are born again, full of the Holy Ghost under the Name of Jesus.
Who Appears to them in a symbol, and that wouldn't do anybody any good
at all, if they weren't in the election. Only the Elect will ever know. 

		(5) 	And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault
						before the throne of God.

	See where they are? They're there taking care of the Bride, because
they're virgins.

27.  All right, now we can take more Scripture concerning this view of
this Jesus, and what God is doing at this time that He is having all
things ready for Him to take over in the Millennium which is based upon
the First Resurrection. So, we go to view Jesus in the Second
Resurrection, which is also included here. We go back to therefore
Matthew 25: 

		(31) 	When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy 		
			angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 				
	(It tells you:)

		(32) 	…before him shall be gathered all nations: (he'll) separate
one 						from another, [as] sheep (separating) from (his) goats:

	Well, that's not in the Rapture and down here on earth. He shall
already got done .separated. "He that is holy is holy still, he that is
filthy is filthy still." [Rev 22:11] I'm here. No comparison, the
Scripture entirely different. 

		(33) 	(Separating) he set the sheep on (the) right hand, the goats on
the left.

	Now notice, It says, 'as the division of sheep and goats'. It doesn't
say they were. Although it's true. See, we're so used to sheep for just
the election and the Bride. Sheep are sheep. There's some sheep from one
fold, some another fold. When did God ever do things in two's? It's
always been in three's.  "Well, (you say) Bro. Vayle there's only two
dippers in the heavens they represent the sheep-fold."  So, what? So,
what? What if there's a division line? What if there happens to be the
division line within those dippers? Where do you think a 144,000 come
from? They're a corner roped off? Could be, could be separate dippers,
don't ask me. God does everything in threes and fours. See, but four is
deliverance, and God does things in threes. Here it is right here.
(See?)

     And He'll set the sheep as it were. And God said:

		(34) 	…the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of
						my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation 					of the world:

	From the foundation, wonderful. I'll just rule the world upon you. Keep
thinking, won't hurt you.

		(35 )	For I was an hungred, (you) gave me meat: thirsty, (you) gave me
						drink: a stranger, (you) took me in:

		(36) 	Naked, (you) clothed me: (I like the way, the Christians right
today,

                        take people in, it's not the way Jesus did
though) I was sick, (you) visited

                        me: I was in prison, (you) came (to) me.

		(37) 	Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when (did) we
						(you) hungred, and fed (you)? thirsty, and gave (you) drink?

		(38) 	…a stranger, and took (you) in? naked, clothed (you)?

		(39) 	…sick, in prison, came (to you)?

		(40) 	…and (he said,) Verily I say unto you, In as much as (you've)
done 					(to) the least of these my brethren, (you've) done it unto me.

28.  Now, where is this? That's the King on His Throne. That's the
judgment, the judgment's set. Now, there's got to be brethren there to
indicate who they missed. Now, these people (you'll notice) missed
Jesus, (some of them, all of them) on earth. But some of them didn't
miss the brethren of Jesus who stand there. And you know who they are?
Hebrews 1: that's the Bride of all Ages, the election. Stand right
there.

	And He said, 		

		(41)	… (you didn't do it to Me, so therefore,) Depart from me, into 
					everlasting fire, (you're cursed that which is) prepared for the
devil 					and his angels: (you've take part of, because you're part of
his 						gang. See?)

	To the others, He said, "Well, (He said) you come on in because you did
all those things."

	And they said, "When did we do those things? We're looking at you
now…"

	We don’t remember anything about You down there.” 

	“I’ll never see you”, He said to His brethren. See?  All of one
source. He's not ashamed to call them brethren, because they're one
source. So, the identification runs a whole lot closer than people ever
give God credit for.  People identified to Him. Those people did to them
were identified to Him. He says, "Come on in." 

29.	Now, this to me would be the same as Daniel 7:9-10. 

		(9) 	I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days
						did sit, (there's another throne now see?) whose garment was white
					as snow, hair of his head like the pure wool: (a) throne…
(another 						throne set up, now when's all thrones cast down? You say,
"That's 						the start of the Millennium." Hogwash. No siree. That's at
the end.)

		(10) 	A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand 	
				thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand 	
			stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

	Now, look here, thousands, thousands ministered to him, then thousand
times ten thousand stood. Now that, my brother, my sister, coincides
with Matthew 25: the judgment of nations so called were the nations are
blessed of God Who stood with Israel. And the Bible says on more than
one occasion one sixth of the population of the entire earth is dumped
by God at one time. Where are you going to have billions standing before
Him after Armageddon? Hogwash. That's not the beginning of the
Millennium, it's the end of the Millennium. White Throne judgment.
(See?) 

30.	Revelation 20:4-15, let's find out.

		(4) 	And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
					unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the 	
				witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not 					
worshipped the beast, neither his image, (nor) had received his mark 			
	upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned 			
		with Christ a thousand years.

		(5) 	But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years
were 					finished. This is the first resurrection.

		(6) 	Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:
on such 					the second death hath no power, …(when's the Second
Resurrection?)					(What happens there? "Depart you cursed." See?) but
(they'll) be 						priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with
him a thousand 						years.

		(7) 	And when the thousand years are expired, (Satan's) loosed out of 
					his prison,

	Now, in here you'll find that people reigning on earth remembered,
Jesus is the reign on earth, the Bride reigns with Him. After all, Adam
was given a wife a help meet, and he was told specifically that he'd do
the reigning and ruling. And the woman came along and she was his
coequal and coheir as long as she stayed with him. When she stepped
outside of the Word, which Adam was that Word, got away from his
headship. Headship of woman is man, and is got to be restored. Do you
think any woman is going to make the Rapture without her proper
headship? Absolutely not. You say, "What if she's an old maid?" Well,
she's under somebody. She listens to the preacher and just follows in
meekness. I can't help it, I just preach the Word of God, you do what
you want with It. I've told you time and time again, It's thrown out
there, you do what you want. I'm down the road. 

31.	I'm going to tell you something, let's get this flat: there is no
preacher, especially in a status like mine that is called of God to tell
anybody to do anything. The word in the Bible for an ambassador and a
messenger is one who comes and tells you what the kings says, and says
goodbye. "I told you, goodbye." Cares nothing with what anybody does
with it. Yet, my home’s different, I do care. What you do in your home
that's up to you, I could care less.

	You say, "You really don't mean that."

	I really mean in this respect, I am not responsible. Can I help you?
Yes. Can I tell you? Yes. But not beyond that. I'm not God. You don't
answer to me, you answer to God. (See?)

		(7) 	…thousand years (expires), (Satan's) loosed out of his prison,

		(8) 	(He'll go to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters 	
				of the earth, Gog, and Magog, gather them together to battle: …

	This is the Second Resurrection, every man in his order. Everybody
comes up. Now they're order's up. Every individual ever born comes up.
There might even be a bunch of animals come up too. Ferocious animals
that got…what about those hogs that drown themselves? Maybe they'll be
up there too and sent to the lake of fire. I don't know, I'm just
saying, who knows? But don't sell anything short. Keep yourself open. Of
course, don’t be gullible. That sounds kind of hard, but it's not. 

		(9) 	And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the 	
				camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: (the camp and the 		
			beloved city, or even the beloved city. Doesn't say, New Jerusalem, 	
			no, It says beloved city) and fire (comes) down from God out of
heaven, 					(to) devoured them.

		(10) 	And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire
and 						brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and
shall be 						tormented day and night…  

	That's a thousand years after that happens, because the beast and false
prophets are already thrown in there.

32.	 Now, notice in verse 9 especially, "They went up on the breadth of
the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints, the beloved city and
fire came down from God." Now notice, neither Jesus nor the Bride lifts
a finger. Why?  Because God is doing it! Who's behind the judgment?
God's behind the judgment. And Who's doing this? God is doing this!

	Now, you see why I'm taking my premise and showing you that those
verses are misunderstood. It is not Jesus the man that's doing this, It
is God is doing this for the sake of Jesus. And Jesus has done It for
the Bride. Now, what's going on, this has already started. What has
started at the end time, is accelerated. (See?) Just keep that in mind,
I got to bring you back, and then I'll hit it again a little later.

33.	 Now, with this we go to Matthew 25: which I read, (and we won't
belabor the point hopefully. I can't guarantee too much) 31-40. That's
when He shall Come and sit upon that Throne, all the rest are standing
there. And then He will let some come in, and He will not let others
come in. But He will say to one especially here: (verse 41) "Depart from
me, ye cursed into everlasting fire." And then they shall go in, into
everlasting punishment. But the righteous will go into Eternal Life. It
doesn't say they have Eternal Life, It says they go away into It.

	What does that mean? I don't know. If It means anything what we've got,
It means the Blood always stood there. Now, under the Blood the
forgiveness of sin. And these people being what they are outside the
election. Remember the cloth, Bro. Branham said, "You put a pattern down
there, the cloth that is left is the same as the cloth that was taken
for the garment." There's no difference. 

	The foolish virgin had only one difference, didn't have the Holy
Spirit. Then if they're going to be brought in, it's the same as we are,
then at that time the Blood standing there and they because of their
heart's intent, (but not being in the election) will be allowed to come
in. And they'll have their portion not in the Holy City, but outside the
Holy City. (See?) Big difference. I can't under- stand it, except I
believe it.

34.	With it, Revelation 20:11-15 

		(11) 	And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from
whose 						face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found
no 						place for them.

		(12) 	And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; (there
you are, 					Daniel, Book of Daniel 7:) the (book's) opened: (there It
is) another 					book opened, the book of life: now, were Daniel said
the judgment 						was set, this says,) and the dead were judged…

	What's the difference? None. If the judgment's set then they're judged.
Then if they're judged the judgment had to be set.

		(12)	… (and judged) out of those things which were written in the
books, 					according to their works.

		(13) 	And the sea gave up the dead in (them,) death and hell delivered
up 					the dead which were in them: (that's the grave) and they were
judged 					every man according to their works.

	And then It says: 

		(14) 	And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second 					death.

	And where did those people go? It tells you:

		(15) 	And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
						into the lake of fire.

	Now, the Book of Life had to be in Adam. Had to be, because the serpent
came along and he interposed himself. That's why you have election right
today, and no other reason, because the whole world's muddled up. The
last perfect man was Noah. And the Scripture distinctly said, "Noah was
the only man righteous in his generation," and that word positively has
to do with generics. The only man biologically sound and from God. From
that time on there was nobody else there that had it. He had to marry a
woman that did not have the perfect same body that he had. So therefore,
their sons and their daughters and the whole bunch from that time on,
there was a complete melting pot. 

35.  And so now, we have by election God tracing that Seed down. That's
why Bro. Branham categorically stated that the virgin birth was nothing
compared to God bringing forth a new birth as He traced that Seed down,
because He knew them all by name before the foundation of the world. You
see?

 	Now, go a little further here: That's the second part, where we see
all things being put under Him. The third part, is Jesus reigning in
Mount Zion, which is the New Jerusalem where He turns the Kingdom back
to the Father, where Bro. Branham said, "Jesus is on the Throne on Mount
Zion, and the Pillar of Fire, God, is over the Throne, but they're one."
 He said, "That's the hour before they call I will answer."

36.	Now, in Psalms 2: we read:

		(1) 	Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

		(2) 	The kings of the earth set themselves, the rulers take counsel
together, 					against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

		(3) 	Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from
(it).

		(4) 	He that (sits) in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have
them 					in derision.

	Haw, certainly. I don't care how hard any of you try to believe, you'll
not believe unless it's ordained for you to believe. Now, that has to do
with your revelation or anything else. That's what's wrong with this
Message, there are too many people poking their nose's in thinking
they're ordained of God, and they're not ordained of God. If you're
ordained of God, get out there on the ministry, then quit hoofing around
for approval around here or any place else.

	Come on, I'm tough, but I mean it. I've paid my price, or I wouldn't be
up here preaching to you. There's not one of you been where I've been,
almost all of you put together. I'm not boasting, I'm just telling you
flat. (See?) They stick their nose in, don't belong anywhere, but they
get all…even preachers get kooky ideas. (See?) The Lord sits and
having a laugh at them.

	No such thing as you and me believing for nothing unless we're ordained
to it. …?... showed me that the other day, feeling my health was down,
well what's the difference, if I can't believe for it, I can't believe
for it. 

37.	 Now listen, if I could, where would Divine order be? How could
there be apostles, prophets, teacher, evangelists, pastor? No! The guy
who wants to be a deacon, and elder he raises his head up.  But to me,
I'm somebody, I think I can do this still. One day you're going to get
kicked by an elephant, and I don't mean your Republican party either.
I'm talking about magnitude.

		(5) 	Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his 	
				sore displeasure. (Great Tribulation) 

	Now, I don't care how anybody tries to come against Jesus, because God
has ordained it.

		(6) 	Yet have I set my king upon my holy… (mountain.)  

	God has set in the church. (Oh, let's go home, (fap!) we ain't getting
anywhere anyway.) I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding, it goes over some
people's heads, they're just so far you're never going to get it …?...
 stay with the Pillar of Fire. If they behold, they all know about it.
I'll name you names. You want me to name names? They told me, I ain't
got no Pillar of Fire. Thought I saw flames, identified in Scripture.
One guy was sure he took it away from me. What are you talking about?
God set in the Church, doesn't take God set Himself in the Church, God
set in the Church. I said, “My King”. Do you think God set Jesus
anymore then He set ministries? How could He, same God, same set. 

38.  Now, I'm not talking about magnitude. Oh, well I hope you love me
later on in the day. I have told my wife at times too, I had to nail her
this morning, but I'm apologizing in a way that she asked for it. She
didn't mean it, she's wrong. Oh, he had a good heart, she's a lovely
girl, but her hearts too good. I got a rotten heart, I can nail you.  "I
got my D.D." Bro. Branham said, "They're called 'dirty dog'."   (Uh huh)


		(7) 	I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, (one
person) 					Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

		(8) 	Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and 					the uttermost parts of the earth for thy
possession.  

	Who's He talking about? God in the Son Jesus Christ! And Jesus said:

		(9) 	Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in
						pieces like a potter's vessel. (Great Tribulation, Armageddon)

	This One. the redeemed is given the whole earth, sits on the Great
White Throne, takes over New Jerusalem. You know it's going on now.
Isn't it funny, back in Pentecost I can preach and get gat going to get
to …?... (double talk) And get everybody running around screaming, but
I just made a statement, and I got a little touch of emotion here
…?... But I could, when I said I just think 'whoopee'. Oh you say,
"Bro. Vayle that's not nice."  Who said it was? I'm not to you, I'm
talking to Jesus, drop dead. Now? It's going on now. Momentous thing,
windup, countdown, showdown. I'm not with ya.  I'll get my… see what
Bro. Branham said, I'm preaching his Message.   

		(9) 	Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; dash them in pieces 			
		like a potter's vessel. (That's just got...[makes a noise] gone!

		(10) 	Be wise now therefore, O kings: be instructed, judges of the
earth.                              			(Preachers, whole bunch of them.)

		(11) 	Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

39.  When people rejoice the forget the trembling. Rejoice… [Bro.
Vayle taps on pulpit] You show me one person who's so sure of this
Message, "I've got it made." Where do you …"We got what the rest of
you folk are looking for."  I've got news, I ain't looking for what you
got. You're too much like the kid that had a wart on his toe, and he
thought every kid had a wart on his toes. I was that kind of stupid kid
years back, some little thing with me, not the moment, I was faced with
something else. I could have…I got a little…the doctor called it the
pre-natal little hole in the ear. I should have, just a hole in the head
is symbolic. [laughter] I could have thought everybody had a little hole
right there. Hogwash. I got a little hole like everybody else.

	We do try to spiritual things, you think because you got something?
Everybody got? Come on, everybody got…want what you've got? (Fap!)
Everybody want more if I have to kill a lot of people. A lot of guys
wonder too. For she didn't want them, so fine. If she didn't want
somebody else, well?  But I'd have to go behind and say, "Hey, you
really got the best of all kid, let's make this thing up. I wouldn't
want to lose you for nothing. 

 		(11)	…rejoice with trembling.

	I shouldn't talk, that's a pastor's job to get those things in there.

		(12) 	Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, (that's worship, that) ye perish
from 						the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are
all they 						that put their trust in him. (But only the Elect can do
it.)

 	Now, you see, you can see here Jesus reining in the Millennium is the
same One reigning in Zion. Now, verse 7,

		(7) 	I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art
my 					Son; this day have I begotten thee.

40.	Now, let's find out what day it was that He was begotten in order to
get all of this. Well, that's simple, we go to Acts 13 for a little bit
of doctrine the apostle Paul, then I'll take you right to other
Scripture for the same doctrine, because you know Acts does not
thoroughly teach doctrine. Although, there's a sermon in there, you bet
it's going to be doctrine. Acts 13:28, beginning:

		(28) 	And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they
						Pilate that he should be slain.

		(29) 	And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they
took 						him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

		(30) 	But God raised him from the dead:

		(31) 	And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from 		
		Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

	In other words, we saw him raised form the dead, we know what we're
talking about.

		(32) 	And we declare unto you glad tidings, …

	Now to declare, is the same as exegesis, we give you the full
revelation of this hope why it is good news. I tried to do that this
morning, good news for you that something is going on that God is doing.
(You see?)  Now,

		(32)	…(and) how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

		(33) 	God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he
hath 						raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second
psalm, 						Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

	That's not Jesus born in earth, that's Jesus reborn from death. See,
that One risen, you've got to place It with the Resurrection. Now, I'm
telling you what's happening in the Resurrection.

		(34) 	And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, (and) now
						no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give
						you the sure mercies of David. (We inherit that. That's going on
at 						this very point.)

		(35) 	Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer
thine 					Holy One to see corruption. 

41.	That is going to happen to people right here! They're not going to
die. No way they're going to corrupt, there's something going on inside
to stop this. (See?) We're talking of resurrection. Now, keep that in
mind the hour in which we're living, why I'm talking this way. I'll give
you a little more information later on. I try to keep feeding and going
round and round. Do you understand what I am doing? Okay.

		(36) 	For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of
						God, fell (a)sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw
corruption:

		(37) 	But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

		(38) 	Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through 	
				this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

		(39) 	And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from
which 					(you) could not be justified by the law of Moses.

		(40) 	Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in
						the prophets;

		(41) 	Behold, (you) despisers, and wonder, and perish: I work a work
in 						your days, a work which (you) shall in no wise believe, though
a 						man declare it unto you.

	And the prophet declared It, what I'm preaching this morning is going
on. And who wants to believe It? Nobody! Man, I've got a job in mind,
and I half even preaching it, let alone believe it. You say, "What do
you mean, let alone believe it?" Because it's not there revealed. It
told you this would drive me bugs. See, I'm not going to try to beat the
gum and work on it, forget it. Nope, nope, nope, nope. I just stand back
and watch it. Because the minute you try to work on it, you take it out
of God's hand, because God's doing it.

42.	 See, that's where this Message had gone haywire. Bro. Branham
warned, "Stay away from it, don't fool with it, leave it, watch it, let
it happen." Oh, they're going to make it happen. Are you going to make
it happen?  Ha! Give me one 'thus saith the Lord', and watch it fall
flat, and you fall flat with it. New York did it three times in a row,
and the people are still fooled. I'd like to see me say one 'thus saith
the Lord' and not happen. See you people…if you believe me enough that
I can fool you, you are stupid. My God in heaven, I want to see you
again. I'm not kidding…why waste my time, why waste my time. Sooner
stay home and enjoy my social security, hope it goes up. 

	See, I'm not fooling. Some of you might not get my dry sense of humor,
my irony, my sarcasm. I think most of you are trained enough now to know
when I'm hitting that. (Fap!) Such nonsense. 

		(41)	…though a man declare it… 

		(42) 	…when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles 		
			besought that these words might be preached to them…

	Have been any Gentiles left kid, because they don't want to preach
anymore. And a lot of hogwash left and serpent seed, maybe where are
those good old Gentiles?  Hebrews 1: now this is what we're looking at;
"This day have I begotten thee, Thou art my Son."  

43.  Okay, let's go over to Hebrews 1:1-6 now, we're talking about this
Jesus here, this hour.

		(1) 	God, who at sundry (ways) and in divers manners… 

		(2)	… (this One Who) made the world…

		(3)	 Who being the brightness of his glory… (and so on.)

		(4)	(...obtained a) much better inheritance…and…  

		(5) 	For unto which of the angels (did) he (say) at any time, Thou art
my 					Son, this day have I begotten thee? And I will be to him a
Father, … 

	Well, you can place that with the day He was born on earth. When you
traced It back to the Scripture, you got to admit where It came from the
Resurrection. But it doesn't matter what it looks like.  

		(6) 	And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten (in) the
(earth,) he 					saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. (The
angel did 						come down of course.)

	You say, "Well, Bro. Branham explained all Scripture having a compound
meaning." Fine,              I agree with that and let it go.

44.	Let's go to Hebrews 5:5. This is the apostle Paul, mind you, said
when he said in Acts 13. Now:

		(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.

	What day was that? When He rose from the dead and He became the High
Priest.

		Okay, 1 Corinthians 15:23

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

		Isaiah 11:1-9

		(1) 	(But) there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and
a 						Branch shall grow out of his roots:

		(2) 	…the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of
wisdom 						and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the
spirit of 						knowledge the fear of the LORD;

		(3) 	And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the
LORD: 					he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, (ho, ho, the
Bride's 						going to have the Word, and know what to do with It, shut
her 						mouth) neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: (She
don't 						care what anybody says, we sure do now.)

		(4) 	…with righteousness shall he judge the poor, reprove with
equity 						the meek of the earth: (I think that means 'come to the
earth', help) 						he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth,
the breath of his 					lips shall he slay the wicked.

		(5) 	…righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, faithfulness
the girdle 					of his reins.

45.	Now notice in here, He's coming all the way from birth to His
ministry to His death and Resurrection and the battle of Armageddon,
which encompassed the Millennium. Now listen: 

		(6) 	The wolf also shall (lie down) with the lamb, the leopard shall 

                        (feed and) lie down with the kid; the calf and
the young lion

                        …the fatling; a little child shall lead them.

		(7) 	…the cow and the bear feed; their young ones shall lie down
together: 					the lion shall eat straw like (an) ox. (Millennium)

		(8) 	…the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, the
weaned child 					put his hand on the cockatrice' den. 

	That doesn't necessarily mean there's going to be a tiny little child
dong it. That's still illustrative. Now listen:

		(9) 	(Neither) shall they not hurt nor destroy in all my holy
mountain: 						(New Jerusalem) for the earth shall be full of the
knowledge of the 						LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

	There you are, took them all away from His birth, right to Mount Zion.
(See?) Now, when is this going to happen?

46.	Psalms 2:6, back again:

		(6) 	Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill (which is Mount) Zion.

	Now listen, God does It all. (See?) God does It all. Now Jesus did
everything up to that as the High Priest. But there comes a day when God
takes over. And not only is it the fact of Him bringing… "all that the
Father giveth Me, will come to Me, and Him that cometh I will in no wise
cast out," [Jn 6:37] that ends. And there's got to be a juncture. (See?)
And the juncture in there is not Jesus Himself coming down in human
flesh, immortal to take over, It is God taking over. Because He is the
One Who is bringing them. 

	Now it's the time for the glorification. Now is the time for the
windup. So, now in this particular period Jesus will still be the High
Priest, and God Himself is seeing that things are winding up by He
Himself doing it. Do you follow what I'm talking about? (See?)

47.	 Now, I'm bringing you the Scripture. Now we have seen these three
parts, we can clearly see what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:24-25. 
Now, after His Parousia comes the windup. Now watch, he's using a future
perfect tense, because It hasn't happened, but since this has happened,
this other has got to happen.

	Now, this is not like some time bomb that some idiot makes, and sets
the alarm, it says, twenty after ten, the bombs off, because the bomb
might not go off. But this is something that God, that I have set the
decree. And you tell me when did it ever fail? Like Bro. Branham said,
he said, "Let there be light, it could have been billion years down the
road, but there was light." 

	Now it wouldn't happen until the specific time. And Bro. Branham was
great on the time element, and you can see why he stressed time. A
Message for time. Everything for a time. Now, what lies in that time?
You don't have to see it, nothing to do with your vision. It has to do
by faith and revelation, and the promise of the hour. Just what the
prophet taught, I'm trying to nail down as many ways as I can for you.  

48.	Now, then comes the end when He shall have delivered the Kingdom of
God. What end's he talking about? When the entire ministry of the Logos
in human flesh has run out, there comes a time when it's done. Every
tear is wiped away, no more knowledge of previous things. There comes a
complete new civilization from Mount Zion, and all those that have been
ordained, every single one is now in and time goes on. I wish I had
words that I might describe in such a way, but I couldn't have the
words, and if I did, I wouldn't have thoughts to go with it. So, we got
to lay it on the ground.

	Now, [1 Corinthians 15:] 

		(24)	…he delivered up the kingdom of God, even the Father; (and he 	
				tells you how that delivery and only on what condition that the 				
	delivery can be made. God's got to do it all. See?) when he shall 					
have put down all rule and all authority and power.  

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

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

		(27) 	For he hath put all things under his feet. (He tells you right
there. 						Notice what you've got, you've got the future perfect tense
based 						upon the fact of God's decree.) But when he saith all things
are put 						under him, (under Jesus, it is certainly true, that God is
left out. For 					He is the One that put all things under Him. See?) 

		(28)	(For) all things shall be (ranked) under him, then the Son
himself 						to be subject unto him that put all things under him, that
God (might) 					be all (and) in all.     

49.	In other words, there is no such thing anymore as a need a High
Priest, anything out of order, anything out of subjection, anything
remiss, because God is completely moving everywhere. Oh brother, you
talk about a situation. Right up until that time, things are screwed up
and haywire. Thing goes over the Millennium. The devil is only bound by
circumstances, the change of circumstances. But at the end of the time
when there's a place when he can raise his head, he raises his head and
he causes trouble. When that Fire comes down destroys the whole thing,
there's a new heaven and a new earth. (See?)

	Then when New Jerusalem is set up there, there's nothing anywhere but
God just moving as God is. You see what I'm talking about? That's what
we're talking about right here. [raps on the Bible] Now, we're in that
channel right today. And let me tell you that gears are locked. The
gears are now locked. The car is in neutral, or going forward at this
moment, but it can't go back. Let me tell you flat: it's not in neutral,
it's creeping very slowly. But she's moving, like a juggernaut, there's
nothing going to stop it.

50.	Now, 1 Corinthians 15:24-25 I was reading:

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

	And that's explained in verses 26-28, "the last enemy destroyed is
death." That's the last thing that goes. And what is death? Eternal
separation from God, the lake of fire. So, BOOM, it's gone. No way is
there anything left, "for He hath put all things under His feet."

	Now, when He said all things are put under Him, that's when the
Scripture say, "All things are put under Jesus." Remember, we got that
from the Psalms [2:1] "Thou art my Son." It is manifested, it's
perfectly clear that God is left out, which did put all things under
Jesus.

	Now, what we're saying here, for He has ranked everything according to
Divine decree with Jesus the human Headship. And there's nothing that is
not under Him. That's why you've got your type in male and female, and
women don't want it, I'm sorry. I don't want to have any headship over
women and fuss anything else either, or anymore than anybody else does. 

51. I’m anxious for the time when the co-equal government is upon the
woman with the man in the Millennium, right back there where God becomes
all of that. That's what troubles families, God isn’t All in all. No,
but the man doesn't have a say, and the woman doesn't have a say, It's
God that has a say, neither one doesn't want to recognize It.

	I'm going to tell you, the worse severe fights we've had in our home is
over some of the things of God-like, my wife not as I understood it
perfectly. Not in subjection, she let the kids get in the way. I got her
so upset one time she's just about out of her skull, because she got me
upset. The only way we got out, I said, "Okay, let's pray." Just about
as spiritual. That cleared the atmosphere. But I don't care about
mother-love and father-love, you let your kids get in there between you
and God, you're shot! Let me tell you one thing: it's nice to pray about
it. That calms everything down right now. I sort of… she reminds me of
a certain woman, that really upset her. If she would have heard herself
of tape she's have found out I wasn't far from it. I didn't say she was
that women, I said she sounds like her. Now, you know I love my wife, I
put my wife against any woman living. A dozen women, all the way in the
world to get her. She's an obedient loving kind, a wife that's just
about flawless. There's just one thing every woman doesn't understand,
the man doesn't understand either. It's just exactly where He called, He
knows what it's all about. And that thing comes under the Word of God.
That both begin preaching the Word of God, the love of God, the will of
God.

	Some of you men get so mad, you could smack you wives. And you wives
get so mad, you hit your husband, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
My wife smacked me two times, and it was my own fault. I forget it. 
Never lay a finger on her. I don't blame her, I pushed her. I had it
coming to me. But then, did I? Yeah, but shouldn't.  I should have
prayed before I did some stupid things I did. That's a preacher job to
preach that stuff. I'm not a pastor. I just threw that in, we'll pass
the plate for that later on. [laughter] Listen: All things, all things
are ranked under Him. God made the ranking. God, Christ, man, woman, (go
into that later.)  

52.	Now, It says here, "God is putting things in 'the Divine order'."
And there never will be what we want until God heads everything. As Bro.
Branham said, "The Lamb on the Throne, and the Pillar of Fire above the
Throne, and before they call I answer, because God is now so Supreme in
all things that there's Deep calling to deep is a natural flow."

	See, I want to tell you people something: you're hungering for
something you can't get at this time. But you're hunger is real, but
you've got to wait for it. (See?) Just don't get alarmed. I'm trying to
help you, place your faith if you're catching it. But I'll explain it
later, don't worry, so we get that nailed down.

53.	All right, these verses here where the word is 'subdue'. It is not
subdue. I want to tell you something, I talked to a nice boy he got with
the wrong preachers. I told him, "The trouble with you son, I'm sorry
you didn't come to me when you came to this Message, you've got too many
foolish preachers around."

	"Thank you, [said mimicking a gruff voice preacher] take off the hot
pants. Throw the TV out, apply the Token, put your house on order. Simon
Le Gree slurp that coffee. "   I forgot to ask him one question, so I
had to phone him.

	I said, "Did you have intercourse with your wife before you married
her?"

	He said, "Yeah."

	I said, "According to the prophet and the Word of God she can bring a
man in the house have intercourse under your nose you can't touch her.
And you're going to try to apply the Token against the Word of God?" 
Fat heads! I'll take that back, I was looking in the eye.

53.	Are you going to try to apply the Token in your home against the
Word of God, and say you've got the Token? There's a lot of men try to
force their wives. What nonsense. You say, “I’m going to make my
wife wear her hair long."  Like fun you are, are you God? Can you
legislate morals? I wonder if I'd have been that way to my wife what she
would have said to me?  I say, I don't understand it, but William
Branham does not play tiddledy-winks. I said, "If he wants long hair and
there's something there we don't know this, you'd like your hair grow
long in honor of what a real man of God said. You do it, I'm not going
to tell you to do it. She did it.

	Now, how is he going to kick his wife out? How is he going to take her
TV? Then you guys got trouble with your wives, listen to me this
morning. Don't smart off and be bullies. You're a clown. But, some
people are so promiscuous these days, I doubt if you can find only maybe
five percent who haven't intercourse before they're married. I'm not
knocking it, just one thing, you better marry her. You do you're stuck
with her. You got a dog it's your tough luck. You live with it, you’ve
got to live with it.  So, I said to him, "You better…I know you love
her, and I don't believe she loves you, you better go and talk with her.
And say, “look honey, tell you what, you come back home. Just do me a
favor, put the TV in your room. When you go with me, how about you dress
up a certain way, because I wish it were that way'." And you show her
some love. And I would also just shut your mouth about the Pillar of
Fire, because you ain't got It. (Fap!) If you got the Pillar of Fire
he'd known that. (Oo..hoo..hoo..hoo) "Oh, they come for the east and
west," and I know they're doing their best. But she doesn't look like
it.  

54.	 Subject, it simply means a language. The word 'subdue' is where a
man goes out in the arena and kills somebody. That's a wrong word, it
simply says, "This belongs here, this belongs here, this belongs here,
and this belongs here." And I'm happy that God is doing this, because
none of us could. And let me tell you flat, if God doesn't do it, I'm
not waiting for Tucson, or New York, or Streetsville, or even Quincy.
I'm in De Graff, I'm not waiting for De Graff to do it. God will tell
you flat, if God doesn't do it, (phfft!) I'm sunk. And I'm not going to
butt in.

	Let me flat: I am not going to butt in. Why do you think the prophet
came forth like a raging lion to draw back like a little old dove? 
Because when he gave the Word of God, he knew he didn’t have to back
me up enough.  God backs His Own Word up and does His Own thing. He only
showed us what God was doing. I tell you what, I'd like to go through a
bunch of tapes sometime, and just take everything out [knocks on the
pulpit] what I'm preaching here this morning. Don't worry it's there.
It's there.

55.	Now, God is doing this great thing, because of what Jesus did. I
told you that. We go to Hebrews 5:5-10.

		(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.

	He sent Him by the Eternal Word that was in the Father. Everyone of us
is eternal, having been in the Father he sent us all. I wonder if you
people caught when I preached 'The Holy Spirit ' series? And I talked
very sternly, and yet kindly to women, to let them know they had
ministries, they were just where God wanted them. A woman came once and
said, "You'll never know what that sermon did to me this morning."
Because it helped her realize as a wife and mother, (and a good wife and
mother) listening to her husband who wanted the best for her and their
family. She was exactly where God wanted her, a jewel in man's crown,
not a gem unto herself.

	Preach it, Bro. Vayle, bless God, let the women come under the kindness
of love and sympathy that Jesus Christ, and not rise up and say, "Well,
I got this and I got that." You got nothing, unless you got His
something. And that's the same with the man. That’s the same with the
man. Don't put a man up and a woman down. Don't ever think you do for
one minute. Remember one thing, the woman types the church, and the
church has kicked out Jesus. [Makes a whistle sound] Man, that should
tell you a lot right there without me saying one more word.

56.  And, 

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

	Remember, It says 'forever'. That word 'forever' does not mean
eternality. It means in the space which is allotted in the Ages.

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

	Now, when I talk about priesthood, the priesthood does go on by the
fact He's on the Throne between us and God. But He's not officiating as
He once did. …?... Because you never change what a man is. How could
you. It's just those hours that are brought out what he is. Look, I was
a son for a long time, I'm still a son. But that's over, I've got no
parents anymore, gone. I was a father for a long time, but the kids are
gone, I feel …?... Forget it, I'm not really a father anymore. But the
best I can qualify as a husband, very poor one at that. So, there we
are.

57.	I'm serious, where manifestation comes, that's why God has three
offices, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, same Person. Same One all the time.
Never loses anything he ever had. It just manifest.

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

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

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

		(10)  	Called of God (that's alluded, recognized) …Melchisedec.

	Now, why is God doing what He did? Because of what Jesus did. (See?)
And we fall heirs to.

58.	Now, we want to go back again to 1 Corinthians 15:23-25. (Now, don't
be bored.) 

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

		(24) 	Then (comes) the end, …

	Now notice: "then comes the end." when he shall have delivered, hasn't
happened till that time. But remember, It tells you what the end is.
Here it is Father, take over, complete in everything, everywhere. See,
the work all done, nothing unturned anymore. Oh brother/sister, listen:
can't you understand what I'm telling you, He that was infinite before
there was one speck of stardust, is now once more back in His great
capacity to unfold the infinite, beyond the infinite.

	In other words, if what this revealed and is done for us now, what will
That do this being a foundation.  So, you follow me? I lost you, I’m
sorry, I don’t know what got over me,… 23-25, eternity all
authority, all power put down, and He has got to be in that position and
God must force these issues until everything is dealt with. I know right
now you and I both the same, both…we love to have beautiful things
going on, but there's something in here that tears us apart, because
we've got that carnality in there.   It ain't going to tear you apart up
there brother/sister. It's become a receptacle, a sounding board for the
ways of God.

59.	 Now, you will see that His Presence, the last word in verse 23,
which is 'coming', which is not coming, it's 'Parousia', which means
He's already there, the Presence, starts the finalization of all that we
see in the Millennium, the White Throne and the New Jerusalem man called
Jesus. Everything will be completely finished in that.

59.	All right, (once more) 23-24.

		(23) 	But every man in his own order: … 

	Now notice, It said, ‘man in his own order’. Now I tell you, didn't
Bro. Branham say man's got it out of order? It was what came from man
the woman. Now, don't look down on the woman, because that had to
happen. Forget it. Bro. Branham explained the whole thing. He said, "All
this had to happen to display the attributes of God, and it wasn't
becoming to God make a man… becoming to God in His nature who'd make a
son that could fall." So therefore, He had to take a byproduct. So
therefore, takes the philosophy, the understanding what's behind it,
then don't jump to conclusion. Just say what he said and leave it there.
So therefore, the woman's got to do it, you can't jump on her for
she’s got to do it. What you got to do is have understanding. (See?)
But I'm trying to get women and men both to have understanding. Which I
don't have too much myself, but we're sailing right along. We're
slugging along, and we're not in reverse gear either, just seems like
it. See, "every man in his order." 

	Now, watch the Great Man, Jesus Christ is a man, but God isn't.

		(23)	…afterward they that are Christ's (at His Parousia. See?)

		(24) 	Then (comes) the end, when he delivered up the                  
 			   			 kingdom to…the Father; (and so on.) 

60.	Now notice, to emphasize that God Himself has now stepped in, in a
takeover, you look at those verses carefully, and the word 'Parousia'
signifies the end of an era. 

	[1 Corinthians 15:] 

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

		(21) 	(And) 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.)

	Now, It tells you right there, there's a change in Divine order. We're
talking not now about Jesus mediating and bringing in people, and
supplicating its interest as Him holding in people; we're talking about
Him with those He brought in and hold into a resurrection. Because
first-fruits means that there's many more like it. And those that are
like Him are not first-fruits, they're first fruit. Christ is 'the
First-Fruit', the rest are the first fruits. (See?)

61.	Now, you have a change at this particular place. It's an era. Than
It says:

		(23) 	But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; (then) 
					they that are (His) at his (Parousia, or His Presence.)

	Secondly: the Parousia signifies the beginning of all that is left
which will God…God will now do until Him, see Himself is the complete
and full sovereign, not only by reason of creation, but all creation is
now in subjection, or ranked in their order under Him.

	Now, you see He that He tried to get that under Adam. "Be fruitful and
multiply, take over the whole earth, name everything, do everything,
line it all up." And I told you, Adam got as far as what… the fowl of
the air? He never got down to the rest where he called it, as it is, to
the insect and everything else. And I'm going to tell you something,
that's what's wrong with people today, they don't go to God, they don't
study nature. So therefore, everything of balance. (See?)  

	Now, we're talking in natural terms, because Adam was a natural man.
Now, he wasn't some super human being where he couldn't die. Adam was
not righteous, he was innocent. (See?) God's the righteous One.

62	Now, verses 24-25. God's going to take it all over.  

		(24) 	Then (comes) the end, when he shall have delivered (now the
giving 					back) the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall
have put 					down all rule and all authority…  

	So that God is justified in ruling His creation which He made, found a
way to bring it back, and is now going to put it exactly where it was in
the Blueprint. (You see?) Now, It says here:

		(25) 	For he must reign, till… all enemies… (are put down.)

	In other words, God must interpose Himself. He's got to interpose
Himself in a type of jurisdiction which nobody wants. You say, "I've to
force my kids to do things." I got to be forced to do this? What kind of
setup is that anyway? That's horrible. We're going to come to the place
where God's All in all.

	Five years ago, I was talking to my son, I said, "Grey, what is
liberty?"

	"Well, (he said) dad it's to do what I want to do."

	I said, "Hold it, what if you do what you want to do, and I want to do
what I want to do, and we clash? Are we going to kill each other?"

	"Oh, (he said) that wouldn't right."

	I said, "Let me tell you son, this is not my thing, but this is the
truth; liberty is the power to always be and do right." You'll never get
it until the end.

	Bro. Branham said, "No perfection outside the Resurrection." Perfection
starts right here, and it becomes an ascending scale. Because you'll
enter more and more into Him for the Divine plan of Almighty God until
the flow is complete. Millennium will be good, but New Jerusalem's
better, because we enter into the Divine complete…perhaps what one
person called 'the sea of unknowing' it'll be a vast ocean that will
take care of it.

63.	 All right. Now, was it 1 Corinthians 11:3, and notice what It says
here.

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

	And over in Ephesians 1:22

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

	So therefore, it is Church, Christ, God. Or Church, Jesus, (that's a
closer term) because Christ means 'the Anointed One'. And there's only
One Anointed One, He's the Anointed Himself.

	Now, further we emphasize that the First Resurrection is the turning
point just as well as is the Parousia, because It says that. It says
there must be the Presence, and the Presence is necessary for the
Resurrection, so you don't dare set one against the other, and deal with
them apart. You must deal with them exactly as they are in the Word
which is together. This guarantees the Book of John 11:21-26, which Bro.
Branham used concerning the Resurrection when the Voice raises the dead.

64.	Okay, [John 11:] 21,

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

	But she said, "If You had been here, he would not have died, but now
that You are here, I know that You can ask of God He'll raise him."

	"What, after four days?"

	"Sure!" 

	I had that kind of faith when Bro. Branham died. I thought that he
might come back, but I didn't know, I thought it was easier for him to
come back, but he didn't come back. And I thought it was more assure he
would come back, but he didn't but I didn't know. The body withers,
"Well Lee, (he said) I can't figure that, (he said) because I used to be
an undertaker." And he said, "When you embalm a body, (he said) you take
a trocar, you shove it up in the guts and destroy everything there and
fill it up with formaldehyde and stuff like that."

	I said, "Boy, let me tell you flat, "My God can raise a man from a
handful of ashes, dust, or gas, He can raise this, what are you talking
about? You say was raised?" I mean I was just sitting right down smack
him right in the teeth. You get me in a corner bud, you'll find out.
I've put many a man to flight. Now many perhaps, but whenever they came
up. Don't talk to me about these things, I know where I stand. Because
if He's not God, forget it. See, you've got to believe in a sovereign
God, you don't believe in God at all. You believe in something out
there, some devil crud.

65.	  [Now,]

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

	Now she waited just tiny bit, you see, but she's not really waiting.
She said, "I know that, (she said) but I'm talking about now." (See?) 

	"Listen, (He said,) I want to tell you something, I'm talking about
now."

	See, they're were both apart on terminology. A lot of people are apart
on what I'm preaching this morning, because they don’t know what I'm
preaching about, is now going on. They put it 'waaay' down the road.
(See?) Jesus told them flat, I read It to you. He said, "You can't see
It. But if you had it's done right under your nose." And turn right
around and say, "This thing was not done in a corner." Bro. Branham said
it wasn't.

	And the Word of God came to Simeon and said, "This thing is done before
the eyes of all of all people." He said, "There's enough witnesses here
to have blown that thing across the world, It has been done. God came
and manifested and revealed Himself. I preached and I told you that.
(See?) Same thing was done in this hour. (See?) Now,

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

		(26) 	And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. (Do
you 					believe) this?

	In other words, there's an end time faith in Jesus revealed, it's going
to take a Bride right where Jesus was, the body doesn't see corruption.
It's going on right now. Don't tell me it's not.

67.	Now, to nail this last statement down concerning the Parousia and
the Resurrection that this is what we are looking at. You cannot
separate them, we go back to Ephesians 1:15 

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

	Now, this is sometime after the Ephesians have proved themselves,
because Paul was the founder.  He went down to Ephesus and finally
turned to His disciples He said, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since
you believed?" [Acts 19:]

	They said, "Well, we don’t know anything about the Holy Ghost."

	He said, "What were you baptized under then, (for land sake?)"  

	You understand what I'm saying, if you're truly repented and baptized
in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall receive the Holy Ghost.

	And Paul said, "Why good heavenly days, what kind of baptism do you
have?" 

	They said, "John's." 

	"Well, (he said) that ain't going to do it." That ain't going to do it.

	He looked forward to something, we got to look back.

	They said, "Great…"

	He laid hands on them, they received the Holy Ghost, and right away
gifts operated. And he put the church right in order, and you don't find
one thing about church order being out of order, they were raised…
[blank spot on tape] 

68.	 [Now:]

		(15)	Wherefore…after I heard of your (progress, your love,) …

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

		(17) 	That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may 
					give unto you (now he's talking to the Church) the spirit of wisdom
					and revelation in the knowledge of him:

		(18) 	The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; (you) may know
					what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of
his 						inheritance in the saints,

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

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

 	And that's not God giving you some great manifestation where gifts are
manifested, where people are being healed; where the dead is being
raised. He's taking about the Resurrection Itself. What God did in
Christ, He'll do for you in the Resurrection. And what God did in
Christ, He did not give him gifts. He did not…sending Him back
speaking in tongues. He did not put Him on here with ministries and all.
What He did, He put Him on the Mercy Seat, and sent the Holy Ghost back.
(See?)

69.	Now: he's saying right here what God did for Jesus, to raise Him and
set Him at His Own right hand, to put Him on the Throne. He wants that
Spirit to do that for you and me. And the Scripture said, "If that
Spirit dwells in you, that raised Jesus up," [Rom. 8:11] that same
Spirit is going to come back and pick you up from the dead. (You see?) 

	All right, that's what we're talking about here. Understand now,
there's a resurrection mentioned there.

		(20) 	Which he wrought in Christ…set him at his right hand…  

		(21) 	Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion,
and 					every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in
that 						which is to come: (Which is going to sit Him on New Jerusalem
						Throne.)

		(22) 	And put all things under his feet, (that's ordered it, ranked
it,) and 						gave him… (number one rank, Head of the Church. Now
where's 						your pope and preachers?) 

	I don't run down five-fold ministers. Do you see what I keep a tight
rein on the idea? And I say, "Don't you look to Lee Vayle." 

70.  You look to Lee Vayle, you got to be sicker than I am. Brother,
I've been sick this last while, I could have blown my brains out, vomit
and everything else. I'm getting a little better now. I understand a few
more things about what diet does, and how poisons leave you body and all
that stuff. But believe me it's rough. I can sympathize if this is what
Carolynn went through, I know she went through a whole lot more than
you, then she took a whole lot more doses of enzymes and things. But if
you want to feel yourself feel like a dying rat, you just start going on
a diet like we're on. It's not a bad diet, you eat all the food you want
to, it's the stuff you eat with it. Oh brother, nausea, headache,
depression. But (phfft!) you live. Not as well as you like to.

 	[Ephesians 1:]

		(22)	…put all things under His feet, … 

71. Okay, now notice, the difference between Ephesians 1:3-14, and what
I've just read to you. 

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

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

		(5)	 …predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ
to 					himself, (that's in the Resurrection) according to the good
pleasure 						of his will,

		(6) 	To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us 
					accepted in the beloved.

		(7) 	In whom we have redemption through (the blood) his (own) blood…

		And down here, right down, and he says,

		(12) 	That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted
in 						Christ.

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

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

	In other words, your baptism with the Holy Ghost, though It genuinely
will put you in the Resurrection, you need God Himself as a Spirit of
wisdom and revelation to come right down here and bring it pass. And
when you know He's come down here, that's His Presence, that Spirit, you
know there's going to be a resurrection. And that's going to cap
everything off. We have come to the cap these days.

72.	 Now, let me show you the difference between Ephesians 1:3-14, which
is the part Divine sovereignty which God has called the lost sheep to
participate in. He said, "Therefore, what were you baptized unto? [Acts
19:3] What did you believe, that you haven't got the Holy Ghost?" That's
something they had to do. As every minister, every prophet, every
teacher, every …?..., you do the first two things, and God must do the
next. Which is repent, and be baptized, that's what you must do. You
must repent, you must baptize by the leading of the Holy Ghost then God
does It. But here's something God does on His Own. You don't have one
thing to do with It. Not one thing! I'll tell you why, this church could
have been Raptured, but it wasn't time. You understand?

73.	 Okay, now this also, we find in Philippians 3:20-21.

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

	See, that's God, His Name is Lord Jesus Christ. And I'll tell you why:

		(21) 	Who shall change our vile body, (Jesus doesn't do it, God does
it) 						that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body…
(that's the body 					that Jesus had, because that's the body He has.
What do you think 						body God's going to meet us with? The Body Lord
Jesus Christ.)						according to the working whereby he is able (to
bring) to subdue…			 

	Hogwash, it's according to order. What order? Divine order. Sovereign
order. The Great General that stood there in angelic form before Joshua.
Joshua was amazed. He said, "Who are you for, them or us?" [Josh. 5:13]
"I'll tell you flat, I'm the Commanding General of Almighty God." The
Commanding General the Chief Messenger, God Himself has now taken charge
and is ranking things, and that ranking is bringing right in Divine
order every single thing until He can retake everything back to Himself.
And that order is simply in the Church, as to what it must be, and as to
time, the element. The whole things are laid in there by God; and the
Spirit of wisdom and revelation comes into the Church, to let the Church
know the hour in which it lives, and what's going on. That's what the
prophet said. That's where we are.

 	Now, again:

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

		(21) 	Who shall change our vile body, … (according to the fact of
what is 					Divine order.)

74.	 Now, the Divine order, back in Ephesians 1: again. 

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

	Now, what Spirit is that? Holy Spirit. What's the Spirit of wisdom?
Tells you, I read that back in Isaiah. "The Spirit of wisdom and grace
be upon Him." [Isa. 11:2a] The Spirit that Jesus had, the Logos. But the
Logos returned. (See?) 

75.	 Now, how is the Logos going to return and do this? Simple as ABC,
it's over here in the Book of Revelation chapter 10. And It says:

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

	What comes down on earth? The Pillar of Fire. What's over His head? The
Rainbow. Who has the Rainbow? God has, Spirit, Holy Spirit in
[Revelation] chapter 4. 

	All right: [Revelation 10:]

		(2) 	And he had in his hand a little book open: his right foot upon
the 						sea, and his left foot on the earth,

		(3) 	…cried with a loud voice, when a lion roareth: and when he had 
					cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

		(4) 	And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about
						to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up 
					those things which (those) thunders uttered, and write them not.

		(5) 	And angel (stood) upon the sea…lifted up his hand to heaven,

		(6)    	…sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, created heaven,
and 						the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things
that therein 						are, and the sea, and the things which are therein,
that (time) should 					be (no) longer: (delayed.) 

	Time no longer means the hour has struck. Forget it. Forget it, I don't
care how you want to set the clock back. I don't care how you want to do
it. I don't care I want to order that. Forget it. You're in that hour.
If the good man had known what hour the thief would come, would lock the
door, didn't know it. If the king had known who was coming toward him,
he would have sent out emissaries, or had a big army waiting for Him. He
didn't know it. If Nebuchadnezzar, or Belshazzar had of known, he'd have
put some men of the city to keep the other gang from visiting under and
diverting the river and walking in and taking over. Didn't know. But it
didn't matter.

76.  Belshazzar saw the handwriting, there It was on the wall. And
Daniel said, "It's a kingdom divided, it's finished." 

	He said, "Well, (he said) this is a smart fellow. Look, what a
wonderful ministry, he's got to have the Spirit of God." He said, "Boys,
tell you what you do, bring out the wine bottles, put a thing around his
neck and put a ring on his finger, and put a coat on him; and give him a
third of the kingdom."  [Daniel 5:] The kingdom was gone. The stupid
jerk that was going to give him something that he couldn't give him. How
many stupid jerk preachers we've got, theologians, and so-called
prophets. Telling his people something like old Belshazzar there. Drunk
as a hoot-owl on his own arrogance and importance, the prophet of God
standing there.

	"Oh, he's a great fellow William Branham, oh he's got a great ministry,
oh we know he's a prophet, all right."  Then go right back to hogwash.
Well, so much for that. Time no longer delayed. You can't turn the clock
back. Where we at today brother/sister? 

77.  You can say want you want, but I'm going to tell you flat, if this
isn't it, give yourself at least one thousand more years, if not two. 
See, because everything comes in juncture of two thousand year periods.
Noah, Moses, Jesus, William Branham. Two thousand to go. It ain't going
to take two thousand. Nope, no way. If this isn't it, throw your Bible
in the gutter. You had a coincident, it's a very unhappy one. You've had
a demonstration, so what? I'm not kidding you. This is what holds me
steady. Where will I go? If this isn't it, who gives a rip.

	I just have one regret with the apostle Paul, who said, "If we don't
rise, it's a pity we've missed It by not eating and drinking and having
a ball." At least we could have had the flesh, everything the flesh
could eat.

	You say, "Bro. Vayle, what if you died young?" Oh, (fap) who cares
about that, if I die happy.  I stand with the apostle Paul this morning,
"If this isn't It, we've goofed." But this is It. This is that hour.
Okay. 

	Heavenly Father, we thank You that we have not been left in terms which
are not explicit. We have not been left, Lord, in darkness. We have not
been left any worse, otherwise we could be critical and say we've been
left. On the contrary, we've been taken in. Not taken in as the world,
and theology and all the filth would take us in and deceive us, but
we've been taken in to a Message and to this end time.

	We know we're into this hour, Lord. And we know, my God, when You said
these things happen, what manner of men we ought to be. But I plead
this…I'm not like the apostle Paul, or William Branham who had the
revelation. I'm only preaching a revelation, but I'm giving it back the
best I can, Lord, until You anoint it, and You make it to me in some
manner. I don't expect to have it the manner they have it, yet, Lord, on
the other hand, why couldn't have the same or ever greater, because this
is that hour. They're looking forward to it, and they'll be in it.
Coming back as resurrected people. Maybe that moment, I don't know.

	But I plead guilty, Lord, of not having the full impact to what I'm
saying. I know that I don't have it, yet somewhere down in there there's
got to be a partial impact. Is the same as I know with the people here
this morning. Lord, grant that You pity us, and cover us by the Blood,
and give us mercy through Jesus Christ. That our feelings be blotted
out, and You look steadfastly upon Him Who to know life is Life Eternal.
And we in Him, Lord, somehow by the merits of Divine grace, not placing
ourselves the hope that You have placed us. And knowing, Lord, a little
later on down the road, maybe even by tomorrow morning, maybe this
afternoon, I don't know the next minute, Lord, if we can even dare to
hope for that; the bursting of the partial if not the full Light, but a
fuller Light then what we've got now on the dynamism of the mechanics of
this hour. Because we know the Parousia, there's just one thing, the
beginning of the end.

	The prophet preached It. 'Countdown', 'Birth Pains', 'The Glowing Red
Light', all of those things, Lord, we know. And here It's in the Bible
and were face to face with this generation shall not pass away, No
siree. There'll be some standing here shall not face death. No siree.
There'll be here those who'll escape corruption, just like Jesus …?...
identification. Absolutely nothing is going to be missed. What a time.
Lord, here we are.

	Father God, in my saner moments, and I've got mostly insane moments, I
would say I don't believe You took Your people here this far to give
them this much You've given us, unless it's a lie, and I don't believe
it is, to leave us in the lurch. So Father, we're just believing somehow
today we'll begin to catch up somewhere down the line. And in all those
things that are expressed which is by Your grace and faith in You, Your
chosen, maybe individually if I can't teach on. Because I can't teach
it, unless I know it. Then maybe somewhere down the line we'll get some
more of this until it becomes almost to heaven on earth, because the
revelation is there. And it doesn't matter if the song writer said,
"Where Jesus is, there's heaven there." 

	And so, Lord, we just look for that elevated place that You can put us
in and caught up as it were in the Spirit, the Spirit of Almighty God. 
And, Lord, there again if I'm wrong, I'm sorry. But I don't believe I
can do one thing about it, because to this date I have, I believe You
got to do it. And we're willing, Lord, this morning to come under that
type of ranking. Which would be true, as the prophet said, the Seventh
Seal the hour of relaxation and rest. Because God is here. Lord, we see
so much nervousness, it just almost makes it impossible to believe it,
but we know that that doesn't detract from one thing. Don't detract,
it's still truth.

	So, we thank You, Lord, we believe that You've lead us this far, lead
us all the way. Now unto the King Eternal, immortal, invisible the only
wise God, be all power and glory through Jesus Christ's wonderful Name.
Amen.   

	'The Lord bless you.' Let's sing that song, 'Oh, how I love Jesus'.
