Jezebel Religion #7

‘The Do-Gooder’s’

Bro. Lee Vayle   -   December 8, 1990  

	Shall we pray: Heavenly Father, we accept the Presence of the Holy
Spirit this evening  knowing that You have come down to us, even as You
came down to Paul, to bring the Word coming down at the end time, to
bring a revelation that same Word to put it all in place, rightly
divided, to put the church in order, for all of these things Lord, we
know are not only at hand, much has already taken place, some will yet
take place, then the raising of the dead, the change of Your people,
catching away to the Marriage Supper. All these things we know Lord, we
see the handwriting on the wall, we see time running out. We thank You
for it, O God. We praise You for Your blessed Spirit, cheering us on,
giving us a hope and expectation Lord, as never before. Bless each one
in divine Presence, may we all come to a greater knowledge of that truth
in Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen. You may be seated.

1.	Now we’re on Jezebel Religion, number 7, and we concluded on page
16, I believe it was, paragraph 77, where Bro. Branham was condemning
organization, because it is a man-made system. And he says there which
we’ll read shortly, “God is against all organizations and the
reasons for it are very, very evident.” Now, I’m sort of going to
say some things that Bro. Branham didn’t say and why I’m against
organized religion, but you’ll see them in this message as we go
along; these various reasons are brought out.

2.	Now an organization is a society of two or more members who enunciate
a common aim or purpose and pledge themselves in some degree to abide by
the rules and principles that they foster, that which foster, of course,
the aim or purpose of that organization. 

	One: they believe in something, and they pledge themselves to it. They
make their stand on it as an ultimate and then they will do something
about it.

	Number two: now this union of members is not only for a purpose of a
common mind but the strength and influence that the weight of sheer
numbers gives to them. What one person cannot accomplish, many can, or
usually can. When one person cannot be felt, many can be felt. One
hundred people separately are not counted able to do what one hundred
people in unison can do. And when it comes to society which is,
absolutely, understood to be involved in civil affairs, that society
involves itself in civil affairs, a large vote will be catered to. Even
Jimmy Jones got handshaked by Carter and Mrs. Carter, and all the
liberal Democrats and the rest you know, and the freeloaders and the
freethinkers, and God knows what they were; they were whoremongers, a
lot of them. And because he could deliver a big vote they just loved
him. So you see what I’m talking about.

3.	Now thus any organization that produces enough influence can and will
mold the laws and, therefore, society. Thus the influence they exist
will be primarily of benefit to them and secondarily, or secondly to
others. Now you see what we’re looking at, these are do-gooder’s.
And do-gooder’s are usually account to themselves to be the
intelligentsia, of course, those under them are very nice people but
they got to be controlled. So, therefore, they superimpose their will
upon the people and this cannot be done short of an absolute
dictatorship, which itself cannot stand without a society. There is no
such thing as not having some society or some organization. So what you
see here then, what we have set forth is why an organization is,
absolutely, against the will and the mind of God.

4.	Now let’s go back to Scripture and begin to trace it through just a
little bit, so we know what we’re actually looking at, and you’ll
know what’s in my mind, as I am going into these things with you. All
right. In Gen 1:26-27 we read.

		(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, over the fowl 	
		of the air, over the cattle, over all the earth, and every creeping 		
		thing that creepeth upon the earth.

		(27)	So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created 
			he him; male and female created he them. (Okay, reading on; 28,29.)

		(28)	And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and 		
		multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion 		
	over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, over every living thing 
			that moveth 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.

5.	Then in Gen 2:7-9.

		(7)	…the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and 				
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a 				
living soul.

		(8)	And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; there        	
		he put the man whom he had formed.

		(9)	And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree 				
that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also 
			in the midst of the garden, the tree of knowledge of good and evil 		
	(were there also).

	It doesn’t say they came out of the ground; doesn’t say they were
good for food. In fact, one was poison; it wasn’t good for food, so it
couldn’t have come out of the ground. All right. We go to 16, 17, the
same chapter. And it says,

		(16)	…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 (of eating) thereof (dying) thou (doest) 
				surely die.

6.	Okay. [Genesis] Chapter 3, 8 to 19, want to read it.

		(8)	And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden 			
in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from 			
the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 

		(9)	And the LORD God called unto (them), and God said unto 				
(them), Where art thou? 

		(10)	And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, 	
			because I was naked; and I hid myself. 

		(11)	And he said, Who told (you you were) naked? (Have you) eaten of 	
		the tree, (which) I commanded (you) not (to) eat? 

		(12)	And the man said, The woman thou gavest to be with me, she 				
gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

		(13)	And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is…thou hast 				
done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

		(14)	And the LORD said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done 				
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the 			
field; upon thy belly (thou shalt) go, and dust shalt thou eat all the 	
		days of thy life:

		(15)	I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy 			
	seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his 
			heel. 

		(16)	Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and
thy 				conception; in sorrow (shalt thou) bring forth children; and thy
					desire shall be to thy husband, he shall rule over thee. 

		(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 (unto) thee; and
thou 					shalt eat the herb of the field; 

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

7.	Now from this you will notice that three persons were involved in the
beginning, God and then Adam and Eve. Now this is the first society on
earth. There are three persons, but notice it is a dictatorship with all
laws coming from God. This is a theocratic sovereign government with
this society here of persons, just the three of them, and what God has
in mind is the perpetuation of this society in the form of its original
existence. Wherein that God’s government would be beneficently imposed
or granted to every one of His sons. Now you’ll notice in this
original society, the two people have no impact as to the formulation or
origin of purpose, aim or principle; they have nothing to do with it.
They will participate in it, but they have nothing to do with it. You
understand what I’m saying? They had no input; they didn’t have a
think coming. Right? All right.

8.	But they are a functioning part of it, due to the grace of God, who
has their welfare at heart, even immortality. Here they are in a heaven
on earth, a part of God’s government. Now that’s exactly Scriptural,
because God’s government was upon earth in the Garden of Eden. “Thy
kingdom come, thy will be done,” your government be upon earth. In
other words, a society which has been created and generated by God, and
completely amenable to Almighty God who is the beneficent Creator
Father, but there is no organization as such. They are free moral agents
with divine help to pursue and to accomplish, because that is what is
set forth here. They can believe the Rhema/Logos God with His Word as
the aim and purpose and fulfillment of life or they can leave it. Now
that’s given to them to do so. 

9.	Enter the beast, the serpent, the tool of the devil. He immediately
begins to organize the two earthly members of this society by suggesting
what all organizations must suggest, or there wouldn’t be an
organization and that is, “Things are good but we can make it better
for you and, consequently, for others.” In other words, it’s a shell
game. It’s a hoax. It’s a lie. Just think about it. Organization
always play up benefits; even though none ever pay off in eternal
dividends or even material dividends for the simple reason, the first
organization of the human race for any purpose, even to fulfill God’s
own Word as in the case of Adam and Eve, ended in death. And all end
short of their aims because God did not say it. That’s why America is
in the shape she’s in today. See?

	You notice that Adam and Eve were not organized by God. Then Satan
organized them against God; just one word off. Now this influences them
and note carefully, all succeeding members of the human earthly race. In
other words, they have an influence. You bet they do. Instead of life,
it was death, and instead of life it is still death. Only God is able
with good intent to fulfill or accomplish a purpose. Everything else
deteriorates and goes down the drain. 

10.	Notice again and with greater understanding, the first organization
of an entire society brought death. So what will the last great one of
Revelation 13 do, which is the whole earth, is organized under a
dictatorship, where everybody knows this is for the welfare of the
people? And remember, the good of many is more important than the good
of one. And the benefit of many can only be brought to pass, or into
effect when the many pull together to see that it is done. And, of
course, if someone has the power to fool them, like Plato said, “The
best type of government is a benevolent dictatorship.” If you can fool
them to that end, that one person can and will do it, they’ll let him
do it. You watch what happens? It ends in total death. And that’s
exactly what Revelation 13 tells you, Revelation 20 and so on. It’s
the second death. It’s the White Throne. It’s the lake of fire. It
ends in annihilation. All right.

	At this point the human mind or human reasoning, Satan’s Eden mind,
denies it and says, “Not all organizations, just some.” Now that’s
a lie. Every single organization fails because the originators cannot
perpetuate themselves continuously. They can’t do it. There’s only
one irrevocable Word that is backed up and that is by God and men
don’t want to look at It. Adam himself did not look at It. Eve did not
pay attention. They were open to destruction. 

11.	So let’s go back to Roman Nicaea. What about that? They instituted
an infallible pope and a church that knows it is wrong, but blacks out
in the rage of Cain when it is reproved. You don’t tell me the Roman
Catholic church doesn’t know it’s wrong. Come on, there’s Roman
Catholics sitting here. Were you ever fooled at one time to ever believe
in your heart that Rome had the right to kill Protestants? Now if it did
it tells you exactly what spirit you’re of, so just listen carefully
some of you Roman Catholics. Not trying to hit you; let you know what
you came out of. “In her is found all the blood of all the martyrs.”
[Rev 17:6] And that predates Rome, it goes right back to Babylon, so I
ask you a question. What’s in Rome? Babylon, which is idolatry, which
goes back to woman; even the Jews believe women take superior position
over the men because if you have a Jewish mother you’re supposed to be
a Jew. That’s a lot of hogwash. You can see where they’ve gone to. 

12.	So, remember, that Cain’s sacrifice was excellent, so I don’t
care even at the end time though and John marveled at the system how
tremendous and wonderful it was, it was still in error because
organization is of the devil. God did not organize His children. He gave
them Himself with His Word and a free moral agency to take the Word and
live or to turn the Word down. Now the point is tonight; can you live
apart from a vindicated Word? You’re dead. With the vindicated Word,
you’re alive. Now let’s understand what we’re talking about, this
message is all about, because too many people don’t. 

13.	So, what is so wrong? The church organizes on what it believes to be
the truth, and perhaps, at that time it was the truth. But you see now
something comes in, the people want man’s laws made by man. That’s
what happened. And you know what happens when they turned down God’s
laws? Satan’s Eden comes right in, the part of man, the mental part,
the mental conception, and that’s right there, become Satan’s Eden.
So just as soon as you turn down God’s Word you come right into
organization, the headship is of the devil, so you got many, many facets
all coming to one headship. Now people can tell you there’s many
churches all heading up in Christ. That’s a lie from the pit of hell.
There is no Methodist church, no Presbyterian church, no Nazarene, no
Pentecostal, no Roman, no Greek Catholic, there’s none of those
churches heading up into Christ. It’s a lie from the pit of hell.
They’re gone; their organizations will not work with God. 

14.	So, so you see now something the people want, and it becomes man’s
laws made by man. Like Bro. Branham said, “Man’s laws made by man
and for men.” The organizing of truth becomes creeds and dogmas, and
no new light is allowed, or you are a heretic if you desire to walk in
future light. They’ll throw you out of the church; they’ll even kill
you. The Catholic church has done that for years and the Protestants are
no different, because they simply make it a point of dis-fellowship;
what…does it matter how you’re bumped off. You’re into darkness as
far as they’re concerned. 

	And on top of that the church is now the ultimate, and if it decides to
change the articles, or reinterpret them, it will. And that’s what
it’s been doing. The plan of God was God Himself leading man and man
rules over nature and thus nature and all is led by God. God rules the
prophet, puts His Word in the prophet’s mouth, the Word comes from the
prophet to the people, and thereby, God governs. There is no
organization because organization is not of God. It is not the door that
opens or shuts to heaven as people try to make it. 

15.	Now, you all know we could go on, and on, but it will never convince
anyone who is of an opposite mind to not understand what happened in the
Garden of Eden. Only the elect will understand. Organization is
definitely of the devil. Churches have crowned Satan. The beast in the
Garden is now the beast in Laodicea. Eve was naked in the Garden
although she was pure at that time but she was corrupted in the very
government of Almighty God under God’s nose. So what do you think the
devil’s going to do? Stand outside the church and say, “Can I come
in, I’m the devil.” You got to be sick. Now think it over. 

	Eve, right in Eden, her husband out there pruning some bushes, maybe,
or telling the fishes to move in a certain area, walking and talking
with God; the beast comes in. She’s fully naked, but she’s morally
sound; she’s innocent. And right there in God’s government she’s
seduced, as it happened in the early church. That’s what happens in
every church: organization. He said, “Hey listen, we can bring the
Word of God to pass. We can make this a better thing for you. And I’ll
show you how it’s done.” Isn’t that seduction? Take it right back
to sex. You’ll see the whole picture; there isn’t any difference
because that’s what it is: Eve naked;, then corrupted. She is naked
now, and fully deceived and corrupted, spiritually and physically. 

16.	The church is allowing the homosexual preachers and the homosexual
people in, as an open invitation for every church to be fully loaded
with disease. As I said last week, which is completely true, if you can
sneeze in somebody’s face, or cough in somebody’s face when you got
tuberculosis, that person gets tuberculosis. How did they get it? From
the germ laden sputum, from the nostrils or the mouth; and then you tell
me you can’t get AIDS the same way? You’re sick. You deserve to get
it. That’s a shock. Oh you say, “Lee, you’re mean.” No, I’m
not, I’m just trying to wake you up to know. Listen! Don’t think out
here indulgence, pre-marital sex and all that kind of stuff and not get
loaded up. You can even get it by…pretty soon the mosquitoes will
carryit, because all they got to do is have an enzyme break it down to
where they can carry it. 

	Nature’s not under control of man anymore, except in the sense of
being of…derogating it, and bringing it down to a place of final
destruction and putrefaction and God knows what. See? But there is no
way Eve was going to believe that she’s corrupted already, she’s not
going to do it. See? She knows it not, and she doesn’t even want to
know, and it would be too late to tell her. Bro. Branham said, “I
don’t pray for America any longer.” All right.

17.	Getting back to paragraph 77, page 16.

[77]	See, what man-made systems bring you into. Hallelujah. That’s
true. That’s the reason I’m against it, because God’s Word is
against it. Man-made system, God’s against it; His Word’s against
it; His prophets will be against it; His true servants will be against
it; and all that’s born of the Spirit will be against it. 

	Now that’s organization what he’s talking about, established
religion. Because what is established religion? The only established
religion if you want to put it down flat is vindicated truth. And you
know that’s scarcer than hen’s teeth. And when it comes on the
market nobody buys hen’s teeth. Who wants the truth? They’ve got it
all figured out. Who lies in the lap of the wicked one? See? 	   

[78]	Look how Israel got, how they floated with the tide till finally
Jezebel came. 

18.	Now he’s telling what America did. They began to drift. They let
down the bars. They let down the bars. They let down the bars. Now
remember, in the very beginning even there was a mixed multitude in
America, just the same as came out of Egypt. No different. As Israel
fled from persecution, they wanted…sanctity. They wanted safety. They
were fleeing from the dictatorships. Yet at the same time there were men
there who were free thinkers. 

	In the early part of  history you had Thomas Payne and others. Benjamin
Franklin was no born again man. His morals were pretty skuzzy. You see,
he wasn’t a real believer. Sin is unbelief. Why does a man commit
adultery? Because he’s not a believer; there’s nothing settled in
him. They’re like the troubled seas; they cast up dirt and mire.
“There’s no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” [Is 48:22] So
they’re trying to find something. So the mixed multitude came here.
But the people that really wanted it right were those that came over
here in order to escape the hierarchy in Europe, the dictatorial
measures which were in government and in all forms of society,
particularly religion. 

19.	Now they began to float and get away from it. Like try to go back to
the Constitution. That’s stupid because nobody wants the Constitution.
They say, “That was okay for the old fogies,” like the bun on the
back of your mother’s head and the street sweeper skirts and the
decency she had. “Well…, that’s for old fogies. We don’t look
with those eyes anymore, so the Constitution is not a true instrument
anymore.” That’s what they tell you. 

	And there’s no precedent in the law courts. Go and try to file
something in the courts; they’ll hide it under the table until
you’re dead and your kids are dead. Try to get it out. The government
does the same thing; they table it. Try to get it out. Oh, I thank God
there’s a God in heaven who’s letting it all out this hour; He’s
going to destroy all those people that destroyed the earth, and made
mock of His Word. And I’d be a sinner if I didn’t rejoice with God;
I’d be calling God some kind of a fool and taking sides with the
devil. My Bible says, “Rejoice when all these things take place.”
[Mt 5:12 & Lk 6:23]

[78]	Look how America got,… floated with the worldly tide, until
finally Jezebel took the throne. That’s right. Now, Jezebel actually
wasn’t on the throne of Israel, but she was the main head behind the
throne. (Like the neck that turned the head.) 

20.	In other words, she came in there, clandestinely; she didn’t say,
“Hey, I’m going to come and take over.” She was smart. She married
the guy and they became one, so that everything he stood for she stood
with him. Now he’s got to stand for her whether the public knows it or
not. So Ahab will say, “Well, I’m a true Israelite, bless God.” 

	Like John Kennedy, “I’m a true American, bless God. I’m a
Catholic, second, third or fourth.” Even the Catholics will tell you,
they’d of voted for Al Smith, not that skuzzy John Kennedy. He
didn’t have any morals; he was completely amoral, just like the
Roosevelt’s and the rest of them, didn’t have any morals. That’s
what the Catholic Church breeds anyway. How can you breed morals on an
ungodly formulation of the Christian religion and heathenism put into
one? See, history knows that. 

21.	So anyway, he identified himself with her in marriage and she is an
equal rights proponent, began to want her rights. Which he said,
“Okay, go ahead.” Now he says here,

[78]	And the Catholic hierarchy’s not on the throne of the United
States, but she’s the system behind it, because he is married to her.

	Now remember, wherever Rome went with her influence, the counts and the
dukes and the earls, the kings were pawns to the Catholic church and it
was only the grace of God that allowed Luther to have strong friends
amongst the counts or the dukes, whatever they were in Germany, the
princely people, that withstood Rome with their armies, or Rome would
have had a hay day coming in and burning Luther at the stake and
shouting “glory” all the way back and forth to mass, and then
selling more indulgences, so you could kill. 

	Say, “I want to kill a few guys,” 

	“Okay, it’s going to cost you a few thousand dollars.” 

21.	Now what about you Catholics sitting here, former Catholics, you
know that happened? Did your Catholic priest tell you that? No, he
wouldn’t tell you that, but now that they let the cat out of the bag
and say, “Pope John,” what was he? The XXIII? The original sweet old
boy? “If he had been pope instead of Leo, there would not have been a
break.” Oh, God have pity. See those liars. Come right out and lie
about it. There’s no fear of God. There’s no fear of man. There’s
no fear at all, because they don’t even listen to their own history
books. Protestants are no better because they’re the old whore’s
daughters. Yeah, right down the line. 

	You see, Rome has her legal envoy, so-called; they’re illegal.
America’s Constitution demands we separate absolutely from religion.
Then why did all our presidents run and kiss the pope’s toe? How come
he dared come here to America? But before he came there was a blackout.
There’s a blackout ever since, starting with John F. Kennedy. 

[78]	 Now…the Bible said, in this country they’d make a image
likened unto the beast.

	That’s exactly right, started back in about 19… little before 1960,
to bring the thing really into… powerful demonstration. 

22.	Now, watch this beast! Watch what she’s like! The pope stands up
and says, “I am the moral conscience of the world, but if Saddam gets
in our way we’ll crush him.” Well, that’s sensible because that is
the spirit of Rome. That’s the spirit of Babylon. You just crush
everything and take control. Now remember, the lamb that came up, the
beast that came up was like a lamb, and he had two horns, civil and
ecclesiastical. When it got to the place where it could talk like a
lion; it talked like a lion. 

	Now watch America! America is the stinkiest low-down hypocritical
nation of the world, because even today it is top dog and looks down its
nose and it preaches a moral that itself does not believe in or want to
keep. “Boy,” they say, “we’re going to go to the Gulf because
Kuwaiti is a little tiny nation and we just can’t stand tyrants.
Remember our great forefathers, they left Europe because of tyranny and,
bless God, we Americans we are here because we’re anti-tyranny.”
Have you ever heard such bunk in all your life? They’re down there for
the oil. Remember, they made the golden calf, and it’s under the image
that we made because of our currency and what we have done controlling
world commerce that makes it easy when the gold system comes in under
Rome to completely take over. 

23.	So why are they down there? They’re down there because of
financial benefits and for no other reason. He has, literally, declared
war on Hussein. He has no right to do it, because Congress alone has the
right because they put in some little fritterery thing back there in the
day of Roosevelt, and also, I guess in the time of—who is
it?—Kennedy had it right down the line, a little…executive
privilege. Now your Constitution is down the drain. And so America
stands up with its head of Bush, and what is he? He sure is a misnomer.
He’s got us all bushed, I guess; maybe that’s the term for it. But
he’s made a complete mess of everything; sent armies down there and
the nation’s not even behind him. Another Vietnam’s in sight; you
read your papers the same as  I do. 

24.	Likened unto the beast; it spouts great morals. Look how it talks
about the black people over there in Africa; what did it do for the
black people here? [Bro. Vayle makes a sound of disgust.]  I had a good
black friend named Frank Proctor. Back in 1953 it was, I guess or 4,
we’re up here in Indiana; they wouldn’t let him come in the
restaurant. I got so mad I could have blown the restaurant up. 

	I was very, very strong for all the colors and everything else. I was
in Canada; we didn’t have any colors I could afford. I could afford to
be happy with black, greens, pinks; and you name it, whites and
everybody else. Come down here, saw the condition; but what have they
done for the blacks? They’ve done everything they can except help them
to raise themselves and you can’t help the black people and the yellow
people and the green people raise themselves, unless there’s a program
instituted that helps them to do it. And that’s not a dole system.
America talks about how they’re beaten down there, how they’re
beaten down here; what has America done for them? 

25.	What have they done for the Indians? Destroyed the Indians, locked
them on reservations where they become booze hounds. But they’re the
moral conscience of the world. That’s Catholicism; that never was
Protestantism. So there aren’t any Protestants left. You think
you’re…I read of bishop, Archbishop Runcie said, “Gravely impairs
our ability to reclaim for Christ’s gospel of continent which is fast
losing its Christian soul, we cannot discover European unity
without…with re-apportioning Europe’s Christian roots.” Then he
said, “We got to go back to primacy of the pope.” 

	In other words, kill them. Talk morals but kill them. Yeah, America
talks, “Hey, you got to keep those kids from disgraceful illegal
sex,” then make everything possible for them. What…oh come on,
can’t you see what Bro. Branham preached here? America stinks,
completely a Catholic nation, a Catholic religion. It says one thing and
does another. Talks about being a Vicar of Christ; is the vicar of the
devil. Talks about the Word of God and denies It. Talks about helping
people; shoves them all down. Talks about the blacks in Africa; don’t
matter what happens over here. Talks about the Jews; then turns it back
on the Jews. That’s America. They accerlerate… They got the Roman
Catholic spirit right down to a tee. You say what you want about it,
I’ve had my say. 

26.	[79] 	Oh, brother, sister, what’s the matter... Well, I know what
it is. The Bible said they’d get this Laodicean age, and there’s
where we’re at. 

	Rich, naked and don’t give a rip. Think they got it all. Where do our
congressmen think the money is going to come from? Every time they say,
“Well, we’re going to cut the deficit. We’re going to stop
spending.” There’s hidden things in there that nobody knows about,
and the debt keeps going up and up and up. Why? For one
reason—pork-barrel—to get votes: they don’t care about running
this country. They care about themselves; they’re filthy: they’re a
priesthood unto the devil. 

	And the rest of the world is no better. We’re supposed to be the
best. At least you men and women here aren’t having your girls, your
daughter’s boyfriends come in while they sleep upstairs, the daughter,
and the next day you bring them up tea and toast, 

	“Have a good time last night, kids?” That’s Sweden, that’s
Norway, and those places. Go on over there and find out. 

	I’ll bring you right in this church and she’ll tell you what
happened to her brother. A husband who said to his wife; he said,
“That’s not going to happen in my home.” It happened in his home;
he put his finger against it. His son beat the tar out of him. Threw him
out of the house and they’re divorced. You think it won’t come here?
Phttt! You’re sick if you think it won’t. 

27.	That’s what happened when they put a Catholic on the throne. You
say, “Bro. Vayle, Catholic church doesn’t believe that.” I’m
talking about the spirit behind it. Those two hundred thousand devils
that were loosed at the River Euphrates under Hitler: same spirit of
hell back there in Babylon, Bro. Branham talks about in the Sixth Seal.
People don’t want to recognize these things. Oh no, gloss it over.
“A prophet vindicated? Oh, he’s just some big mouth God gave him a
ministry and he just got too big for his britches so God smeared across
the ground, to teach a lesson, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.” Why merciful God,
did God Almighty back that man’s word up with His own Name, God’s
own Name, and that’s all there is to God? Sheee! 

	Merciful God, I’m seventy-six years of age and I’ve lost my life
should be whoring around with the rest of them, and gunning down the
guys I don’t like. What’s the difference? I’m telling you the
truth. Get them before they get you, you before you’re done. And
what’s all this morality we’re talking about? Ain’t no morality.
You turn down THUS SAITH THE LORD what have you got? You’re dead ten
times dead. Don’t stick around here pretending you believe it. I
don’t believe it half myself, and I believe It stronger, I think
hardly than anybody…well, there’s not too many men preach it like I
do. Put it that way.  They don’t have it, they don’t believe
vindication at all. 

28.	The Bible said we’d get in this luke-warm image. Luke-warm,
people’s rights; makes laws for us, of us; we send our men to
Congress. They don’t make the kinds of laws that serve us. They make
laws that serve themselves. Raise their wages, everything else. You talk
about a mess. The church has left God’s way. 

[79]	Now…you might hate me now, but one day you won’t when you find
out what’s Truth. You may disagree and get up and stomp out of the
building; that just shows your illiteracy. But someday you’ll realize;
someday you’ll long and know that it’s the Truth. I speak it in the
Name of the Lord,…

	Now he’s telling you right here a prophetic thing; it’s going to
come a day when you’re going to wish you’d listen. Now listen! What
does that mean? It will be too late. He’s talking about the door of
the ark being closed. You think those guys out there when the water came
up to their chins didn’t say, “Hey, I’d wished I’d listened to
that old geezer. You know, that dumb old jerk was right. We thought we
explained everything he did by scientific measurement and the test tube
and the micrometers and everything we could apply. Oh yeah, we knew that
guy was wrong. He didn’t have THUS SAITH THE LORD like he said he
did.” But he did. Now where’s your cotton-picking test tubes and
micrometers, telescopes, microscopes and God knows what? Your log
rhythmic tables, your calculators? Where’s your atomic dividers,
splice the genes? Where is it? Said, “It’s going to come.” I can
understand that. See? 

29.	Because he said, “I speak in the Name of the Lord,” he’s
telling you it’s Deuteronomy 18. See?

[79]	…put myself up for a target, which finally will drive me to the
grave. I’m going to be a witness till I die,…

	Now I told you there and here’s something right here, you know I
don’t gild the  lily William Branham or no William Branham. Truth,
truth; Bible’s, Bible. I can’t find what he said in the Bible, but
my understanding is this: he saw in a vision he had a hole in his
throat, which he took to be a bullet. Now let’s understand this flat;
people have been killed for fighting the Catholic church. 

30.	The late Dr. Hoyer told me when I talked many years ago in a church
in Chicago, Mitch you’ll remember, and Rose, up there, Dr. Hoyer was
there. I struck hard against the Catholic church because Bro. Branham
had, I simply being a parrot to what he said. I call it a parrot, I call
it that, in other words, I’m trying to go word by word with what he
said. He said, “Bro. Vayle, aren’t you afraid to do that?” 

	I said, “Well, I don’t think so,” I said, “Because God will
help me somehow. I supposed to get it; I’ll get it.” 

	He told me about a young man out there in California, he knew
positively very, very well. He was, absolutely, rabid against the
Catholic church on the grounds he knew what they were into. He’d been
warned; “You draw away from this or you will die for it.” They had
warned him. One day the man was so-called hit by a car. By the time his
wife was informed eight hours later he was already embalmed. So what do
you think sitting here tonight, all a little dream? Bro. Branham knew
what was going on. He thought they would get him. That was the
tracheotomy he saw. 

31.	Well, you say, “Well, did the Lord interpret the vision?” No,
the Lord did not interpret the vision. Bro. Branham could have any
number of visions, but if God did not interpret them… It’s like the
Bible, “What doest thou, Son of man see? 

	Well, he said, “I see these cattle out here they look thin. I see
these cattle they look fat.” 

	“How many?” 

	“Seven thin, seven fat.” 

	“Well,” he said, “seven lean years; seven good years.” Well, he
said, “I saw the lean eat up the fat ones.” 

	“Well,” he said, “that’s it.” 

	You can have a vision; you can have a dream; unless God’s told you
what it was, how would you know? All he saw was his death and because he
knew what religion was doing, following the way history was going, he
would draw this conclusion. So there it is, you can say what you want.
You say, “Well, if he boo booed there, he boohooed everywhere.”
Well, that’s your privilege. You believe what you want. I don’t
care. It’s not going to change my faith in the Word of God, because
everything he preached I find in the Bible here. This is just about
himself. 

32.	[80] 	Here we are in this condition we are today, all of it going on
like that. (That’s that old condition in Israel, back there today in
America.) And Israel, how Ahab did, a figurehead for Jezebel, because he
was married to her. America, our leader… You know our leader was a
rich man? How many know that? A multimillionaire. Somebody told me in a
magazine or radio or television or something, Jack Benny or somebody 
Ernie Ford, I believe it was. (It’s this joke he’s trying to
recall.) Somebody said… “His father helped him get the two states he
didn’t own.” (That’s true.) 

	They spent a lot of money on getting there. They all do. How do you
think [Howard] Metzenbaum keeps getting in here? If I had a good vote;
I’d vote him out. He doesn’t get Ohio’s money; it comes from
all…especially California and places. Read the records. Why is
Metzenbaum in? He’s a louse bound heathen. Arrest me if you want for
saying it. I got no use for the man. No use at all for what he does.
He’s as bad as Young was ahead of him. Steven Young, he put him in
there. He got too old and he finally popped off, so Metzenbaum’s there
and he’s not going to retire until he kicks the bucket, I suppose. But
the records are clear; where does he get his money? It isn’t Ohio
money; it’s money from the outside. What interest have they got in our
affairs in Ohio? So it’s a national thing you’re looking at. 

33.	You’re looking at America nationally; rotten politics, backed by
filthy anti-Christ system. And you know as well as I do by now that the
Roman religion is not a true religion, has nothing to do with Almighty
God, it is a concept of Christ, completely infiltrated by heathenism. In
fact it is heathenism taking on respectability by saint’s names;
that’s all they have to it. And a man comes in with a funny miter on
his head, with goofy robes and he talks about the fisherman’s ring and
the tiara that he wears, and the white robe, and he’s going to be some
great man? Oh, merciful God, can I dress somebody up here? [Congregation
laughs.] You got just as much right or more. Talk about buffoons, actual
buffoons, and people listen to them. This is on tape. I can’t deny I
said it. I said it it’s on two kinds of tape. I can back down. God
give me strength to die if I have to die. But I don’t fool with that;
he’s nobody to me. He’s a miscarriage of everything I could possibly
believe as far as spiritual things are concerned. 

34.	Now the reason…now he said,

[80]	…How did he get his money? Through the whiskey traffic…liquor.
That’s the reason he dropped the taxes on whiskey and stuff. That’s
what made him a rich man. The very thing that damned our nation, the
very thing that corrupted the minds of our people, the very thing that
sent our boys to be drunkards and our girls to be prostitutes, the money
off of that made him a rich man.

	Yeah, but what about dope today? You know, money is the basis of Roman
religion. You can get anything you want if you pay for it. Oh, they’ll
find a way to make…sure that God’s man gets through. They got Mary
to call on, the pope to call on. Oh yeah. I’d like to see just one
come back and tell me it worked. You know there’s no proof of anything
till William Branham gets back here, then you watch it. In the meantime
we stand on the vindicated Word and if that doesn’t get the dead back;
I’m going to tell you one thing, forget it. You can forget it. I’ve
got enough faith to believe the God that backed His own at least
thousands and thousands of times has got enough on the ball to raise the
dead. In fact, I know, stinking well, He could do it. The record is
Lazarus was resurrected; he wasn’t just raised from the dead. He was
resurrected. He stunk. His body was gone. [End of side one of tape] So
is forty-five minutes.  

35.	All right.

[81]	The same old thing…that old Jezebel system, the same thing that
persecuted our people, the same thing that dragged them out, and burnt
them, and pulled them apart, and did everything to them, the same blood
of the martyrs, the Bible said, is in her. There they are married
together. And we Americans stagger right on, “Oh, well, we got a few
extra dollars…we’re having a good time. Better off than the rest of
the nations.” But, brother, you just wait a minute.

	They’re broke and they don’t even know it. Bro. Branham had told us
I think it was, he said, what is it, is it forty generations, or
fourteen generations down the road we’re saddled with our debt way
back there in about 1960. What’s it got today?  

36.	Now listen! Right in here, in them is the same blood of the martyrs.
Now, over there in  Revelation, chapter 17, is where it is as I recall,
and it says here,

		(6)	And I saw the woman (drunk) with the blood of the saints, and 				
with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I 				
wondered with great admiration.

	Now listen! This was the church that under the red beast was shedding
the blood of the martyrs, under the spirit, the face of the calf,
sacrificial. This degraded monster is now turning into a fabulous
institution to really help everybody. No longer is it going to be the
platitudes of the rich, the theories of the intelligentsia. It is going
to be a real society dictated by a real moral man who doesn’t claim to
be spiritual—that would blow it—he claims to be moral and
geo-political which means a world figure, a world structure. And he’s
going to do it. It’s going to be beautiful, beautiful thing. So was
Cain’s sacrifice. Absolutely, a beautiful sacrifice. It was excellent.


37.	Now, remember this book that Roger got us interested in? Dr. Malachi
Martin; ‘The Keys of this Blood’. What are the keys to this blood
they talk about? I haven’t read the book yet; I’ve got it, a couple
of pages is all I’ve got, even the first two pages were tremendously
exciting, let alone I know the rest of the book. But just think:
what’s he talking about the keys to this blood? Well, I suppose, he
thinks the Roman Catholic church is the blood of the universe; and I
guess it is as far as commerce is concerned. And they think they got the
keys to it, but they’re wrong. 

	They don’t open the door to heaven and shut it. No church has that
ability, because no church is Christ. The system of organization will
not work, because it’s a binding of a society, where the kingdom of
God, you’re born into it, one at a time. You can’t come in as a
body. The Methodist will not be there. The Catholics will not be there.
The Presbyterians, the Pentecostals, and Branhamites will not be there.
You better believe that. Going to only be true sons of Almighty God with
the true baptism with the Holy Ghost which we know, because we have the
vindicated Word. We believe It. 

38.	It’s a dire prophecy that Bro. Branham makes but it’s true.

[82]	Let’s take it letter by letter now for the next few minutes, see
what happened.

[83]	The leaders, the preachers got right along,and sneaked down with
them, went right down with them, …with them, all the system. 

	In other words, back in Jezebel’s day—the Levites—the priesthood
went right along with it. Now, if you read and you have read the Bible,
your mind will reel as you think of Israel. How could they do it? Well,
let your mind reel tonight. How could we do it? In the very beginning
they were off balance. In the very Eden of God, the government of God on
earth, Satan walked in and took over. In the first church they walked in
and took over. In Rome they booted out the two Jewish people, the man
and the wife who went there as witness under Claudius. What was it?
Julius and Priscilla? I forget anyway. Booted them out, from that time
on heathenism took over, but all in the Name of God. They took out, got
rid of the old God, put up there saint’s names. Constantine saw it was
a good thing. His mother was supposed to be some kind of a Christian.
He’s supposed to have some kind of a dream. So he took the society and
gave them privileges, guaranteed it. 

39.	That’s why it’s wrong to go beyond a local charter; can’t send
out preachers, can’t do this, can’t do that. If they want to get
ordained here, they’re a part of us, they’re on their own. We have
no holdings anywhere, but right here. No interest anywhere but right
here, except for the sake of the gospel to do something for somebody.
But always you see, it always happens, and if this went on in this
church here twenty-five, thirty years, it’s ten to one we’d have
nothing but a bunch of backslidden boobs here. I hate to insult any
young people’s feelings but I’m just warning you as a kindly as I
can. Hey, I know the record; you know the record. Then why suddenly sit
down act as though we’re dumb, deaf, and blind. 

	“What did you see that eight hundred foot airplane go by?”

	“Why, you see I’m so used to seeing one thousand foot airplanes go
by that I’ll never even look at an eight hundred foot.”

	Is that the condition we’re in? We’re just too used to things. Just
drift with the time. The greatest immorality in the world is drifting
with the time. That’s what dead fish do. Yeah, anybody can shoot fish
in a barrel; that’s why they organize. Get the upper hand, all the
time claiming, “We’re going to do you good. We’re going to do you
good. We’re going to do you good.” What higher claim could a church
make than doing you good and get you to heaven? 

	You say, “You come with us we’re going to get you to heaven. Oh,
you belong to us; you got it made.” 

40.	When have I ever told you people, you’ve got it made? I don’t
know if I got it made. By faith we believe. We got no corner on
anything. If you’re a part of His children; you’re a part of His
children: that’s divine right; we got nothing to do with that. I never
named my parents neither did you name yours. Not a matter of us claiming
God; it’s God claiming us. Sure. 

	So the whole system went down the drain. That’s what’s going today
with Runcie [Archbishop of Canterbury] giving the Anglican church over.
Lutherans have already broken down all the walls. Imagine, Luther came
out, and there they’ve gone back faster than the Anglicans. Where is
Lutherans today? Where’s anybody today? 

41.	All right.

 [83]	…They had a form, yes. That doesn’t mean the Bible…
and…doesn’t the Bible tell us that in this last day we’ll have a
form of godliness? All…prophecies are fulfilled, brother;

	Now what’s a form of godliness? Well look, you could say a form of
godliness… Well, what is a form? Well, a form is a system, an
organization. See? It’s got government interference. Today, a form of
godliness, pure and simple means, it isn’t what it is purported to be.
In little ways it acts like it, talks like it, but it’s not it. See,
it’s merely a form, like a husk, a shell, and it’s not even got the
proper form to it. They got a form but denying the authority, the power
thereof. 

42.	Now our forefathers came here and they were not Catholics. Oh, there
was some Catholics came along; that’s true. They came here in order to
get away from the system, the whole thing, and then they got sucked
right back into it.

[83]	 …we’re at the end. (Bro. Branham says,) Nationally, we’re at
the end. Spiritually, we are at the end. Every system is at its end. The
next thing is the coming of the Lord the translation of the Church.

	In other words, bankrupt leadership over bankrupt people has brought us
to the place of where there’s nothing left. We have, simply, a
Babylonian system in America and it’s a pity and it happened so fast. 

43.	[84]	God sent every sign, wonder, and did everything He could do, to
try drawing the people, and constantly they move right on in for that is
the system. Look at this town here, look at this country around about
here, …tens of thousands and hundreds of Pentecostal people; and
because of standing on the Truth, where are they at this afternoon?
Because someone told them not to cooperate with the meeting. See? (They
couldn’t go to Bro. Branham’s meetings because the preacher said,
“Don’t go.”) You poor, deliberate...(I guess, he could have called
them something, I don’t know,) God be merciful to you, it’s the only
thing I can say. When you Christians got no more backbone than that, you
got a wishbone instead of a backbone. …right. What we need is to
preach the Gospel with teeth in it, that’ll chop the thing to pieces.
Went just like the rest of them, then you wonder why we holler about it.
Then, you see, you got the cold shoulder. I expect it; I have to.

	Now this is what you might call, ‘the false love of silence’, where
people don’t rise up and say something about it. They haven’t got
the backbone to stand up to organization, but they’ll hide behind the
thing called love. “Oh, if that man was really love, he wouldn’t try
to divide us, oh no, he’d bring us together.” Merciful heaven,
that’s what the devil does. God divides. He separates the serpent seed
from the true seed. The make-believer from the unbeliever, from the
believer. There, He even separates the wise and the foolish virgin.
He’s a separator. But no, this little thing called love, no, you
mustn’t raise your voice; you mustn’t stand for the truth. 

44.	Now Bro. Branham said, “What we need is to preach the Gospel with
teeth in it, that’ll chop things to pieces.” Now that statement,
hey, that statement is used by every church, “Bless God, well, you
just take what we got, we’ll chop her to pieces.” Hogwash! If it
isn’t vindicated it hasn’t got teeth in it, because the Word of God
is a sharp threshing instrument. It’s a Sword. And unless it is the
Word of God, it’s not going to do the job. And the Word of God’s got
to have a Logos which is the manifestation of flesh which means people
have a gospel to preach which is vindicated. Nothing else will do it.
And the people will not believe It. Why? Because they’ve been taught
against It, and their final refuge is the devil. 

45.	“Is not this the son of David?” What do you mean? Well, look at
the miracles. My heaven, [have] you seen anything like it? Look how the
man talks. Look how he lives. Look at everything. “Oh, well what do
you think is going to come of it?” 

	“I believe He’s the Messiah. I believe He’s going to take
over.” 

	“Ah ha, just a minute, He don’t take over nothing… Over my dead
body. I say,’He’s the devil’.” 

	They wouldn’t let their tree of the knowledge of good and evil go,
because the Tree of Life demanded the fruit of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil cease. Now, do you think they’re going to give up
their creature comforts and their big positions? Come on, they won’t
even give up their stupid pensions. I’ve been independent all my life
and I don’t have faith in another man’s pocketbook or any church’s
discipline or any order. God’s taken care of me through the rough
times and the good times. David said, “I’ve been young; now I’m
old yet I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging
bread.” [Ps 37:25] Bro. Branham quotes that, and that’s exactly
true.

46.	Sure, they gave him the cold shoulder. They’ll give us the cold
shoulder, too, and don’t think we’re not getting it.

[85]	All this went on in Israel. Finally, one day, came stomping out of
the wilderness, came an…hairy-looking old fellow, Elijah the Tishbite.


	I’m told the statue on Mount Carmel of Elijah looks exactly like Bro.
Branham described him. He never saw the statue and nobody saw Elijah
either. But the inspiration was there, just exactly as Bro. Branham
described him. 

[85]	He never come up out of any organization; he came out of the
wilderness. See? That’s where he was. He had nothing to do with them.
He was a prophet of the Lord. Brother, he shook that Jezebel kingdom for
everything that was in it. They hated him. He had no cooperation; I’ll
guarantee you that. The Bible says not. Certainly. He made those
painted-faced Jezebels burn up, I imagine. He laid the axe to the root
of the trees like John did; the chips fall wherever they wished to, but
he laid her in there. He shook the nation, showing that they were wrong,
and trying to call them back to a true and living God, and back to His
Word instead of a Jezebel worship.

47.	In other words, they had a Mount Carmel showdown. What was Mount
Carmel? How many people even knew about it? News would travel very
slowly. How many found out in a hurry? Queen of Sheba
took—What?—three solid months travelling day and night to get where
she came. They never had Pony Expresses, hardly any fast camels. Who
knew about the showdown? Hardly anybody knew about it. When they did
know about it, why there was lots of chance now to disbelieve. They
don’t have to believe; don’t have to believe anything you hear.
You’re not obligated. So what good did it do? It never cut any big
swath, Mount Carmel, but it did with the children of God and the destiny
of God’s government on earth. 

48.	The same thing in Chicago when Bro. Branham had the showdown up
there over water baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and one
God, what his ministry was. But they didn’t take him on. And he told
me, “Well, you had more sense than I thought you did.” I wonder how
they liked that. They didn’t even know what he was talking about. They
didn’t know he’d carry the first guy, feet first if they’d come
against It. People don’t believe that today. See they don’t know
that’s the anger of God lingering, the judgment of God hanging like
“Damocles’ sword” in the balance, ready to fall at the given
moment. And they don’t know till the flood comes and takes them away.
So what do you expect out of anybody? 

	Who’s going to know? The elect will know. Nobody else will know and
you should thank God tonight no matter what you came out of. Thank God
you came out. Now get the crap out of you that was in you when you’re
in there, because that’s what it is. Creeds and dogmas and junk, no
wonder people can’t understand Bro. Branham. They can’t understand
me and yet I take his words and bring it to them in a way they ought to
understand. I speak the fundamental language. No, there’s too much
crud in there, too much death. They’ll never understand why you’ll
keep your Pentecostal ideas, your Methodist ideas; you got to get back
to the Word. The Word means vindicated Word, corrected Word not
something somebody hashes up and say, “Well, I believe this because
the Bible said so.” Oh, fap! They’ve been believing what the Bible
says for centuries. It’s simply a tongue worship; a mouth worship and
nothing in the heart to back it.

49.	[86] 	What did they do? Did they receive him? They hated him. But
his Word went forth just the same, because he had THUS SAITH THE LORD. 

	Now notice! The Word could only go forth because of THUS SAITH THE
LORD. The Word cannot do one thing in your heart unless you understand
vindication; you stand with it. Going to be lots more things happen
before it’s over. “Well, I wonder if Bro. Branham was vindicated.”
What about this guy predicted the earthquake? Browning? I think he hit
about six on the head. But this one failed, he didn’t go with
the—What do they call that?—it’s a Spanish name, not Madres but
that fault. It doesn’t matter, you know what it is. 

	Now listen! Bro. Branham kept saying, “When did it ever fail?” When
did you find him in one prophecy, one word ever out with THUS SAITH THE
LORD? I never realized how important his statement was till I found this
guy made about…he predicted the one in Japan, the one in the
Philippians, one over here, and one over there. Now he comes and said,
“It’s going to happen right over here in Arkansas and Missouri area.
Twenty miles, the epicenter would be…” The fault would be where Doc
Kash lives; schools closing up, people running away, everything else.
Now he had six shots, and he was acclaimed a great guy, of course, a lot
of skepticism. And I can understand it. All it takes is one failure.
Bro. Branham didn’t have one of the thousand, thousand, thousand. 

50.	See, you’re standing on vindication. 

[86]	God worked with him and he showed he was the anointed prophet by
the things that he said were coming to pass. (Deuteronomy 18:
vindication.) …all that he did proved that he was God’s prophet.
(Never did anything else but.) But they would not believe it, because he
tore up their playhouses. (I spell that w-h-o-r-e, instead of p-l-a-y,
myself because they’ve all played the harlot. But they are
playhouses.) He told them they were wrong. Ahab was a roustabout. True.
And you notice they didn’t believe Elijah, but he preached it just the
same. None of the preachers agreed with him; he said, “I’m the only
one that’s left, Lord. Look at them, they won’t even come. …not
nobody will cooperate.” 

	Now this is what Israel could not believe. There was no way that they
could believe Elijah was the one man that was authoritative. They could
not believe that Jesus was the one Man that was authoritative. That’s
after John went off the scene. They could not believe that Paul was
authoritative. Do you think for one minute they will believe that
William Branham is authoritative? No way will they believe. They
can’t! You can’t contradict history, brother/sister, it’s written
out there in black and white and gray in stone by pens of iron. No one
will cooperate. Nobody wanted his gift. A true healing revival showed
there was a great message but they didn’t want it. 

[86]	But he had a mission to do and he did it. He had the Word of the
Lord; THUS SAITH THE LORD. And he attacked the nation; he attacked the
church; he attacked everything there was, and God was with him.

51.	Now back in Israel’s day because there was wholly committed to the
religion of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, right on down, till heathenism
came in, and he went to one people only, not a melting pot, Israel
simply bankrupt. There was a possibility that he would be listened to.
And he attacked them from every point of view which was the nation and
the church, and they didn’t listen. 

	How much chance do you think William Branham would have if he indeed
was Elijah attacking America and the world? He’d be called a complete
kook and the do-gooders, the ones that are intelligent so-called, the
ones that are spiritual so-called, the ones that are in the know, they
are the moderates, they are the real guiding lights, they’d say,
“Now just a minute, let us come and talk if we really have something,
lay it on the table and talk with us. And then if you pass our test we
will put you forward.” Now how could you put him forward when the
Church of Christ sat there saying, “There’s no such thing as divine
healing, it’s of the devil?” How’s the Catholic church going to
put him forward when the pope says, “I’m the Vicar of Christ and
I’m infallible?” and the man proves the pope was a liar. William
Branham didn’t waste his time; he’d of been an idiot; he’d of been
a fool. 

52.	You know, I’m not a lover of chicken entrails, and you couldn’t
put them on my plate and say, “Eat them.” Why should I come to your
house if you said, “I’m going to feed you chicken entrails?” It
was chicken guts, if you want to know what entrails means. You think the
prophet was stupid? He’d want to go to a chicken gut dinner? A table
full of vomit? What do you think THUS SAITH THE LORD means? If you
can’t…listen, he thought he was going to die for it. If you and I
can’t die for THUS SAITH THE LORD there’s something wrong with our
faith, somewhere. You say, “I really don’t want to die.” I’m not
too fussy either. I still like to, you know, have fairly good health
when I pass off the scene but it might not be my privilege. I mean, they
could skewer me, how do I know what they’re going to do? He said a
persecution could….is going to come on down. 

	They can catch you any way they want to catch you. When has this nation
over the last years not stooped to what they call ‘subordinating
witnesses’, which means bring witnesses under their control for money
to deliberately lie against you? If I say I saw you in my home, and you
can’t prove that you’re someplace else, you’re stuck, kid.
That’s just an ordinary court. What if they want to nail us? You think
they can’t nail us? Well, you’re reading some other book than what
I’m reading, I can tell you that. (What time we got? I think it’s
time to quit.) All right. 

53.	We’ll start tomorrow morning where we’re off. You can see this
is a tough sermon Bro. Branham preached to the Pentecostals, didn’t
like it. And they’d like the way I’m describing it a whole lot more.
[Congregation laughs.] I’m not trying to make these punch lines all
the better. What knowledge we’ve gathered in twenty-five years since
he’s gone off the scene—remember, it’s just about twenty-five
years in the next few days, another eighteen days, sixteen days, eighth
today, a little better than two weeks—the prophet’s been gone, and
you can see everything he said is coming to pass with a vengeance. 

	But remember, God said, “Vengeance is mine; I’ll repay.” [Heb
10:30] The blood of the martyrs in the church. What happens to us I
don’t know. I don’t know, but I know one thing we better be ready
for whatever’s going to happen, fortify ourselves in the grace which
is in Christ Jesus. There’s only one way you and I can do that and
that’s by the Word. Remember, brother/sister, when they stood before
the Sanhedrin, the courts brought them to attention, they stood there
with the Word and the court marveled, but they didn’t change their
minds. Let’s bow our heads and pray.

	Heavenly Father, we thank You for the time You’ve given us together
to talk about the wondrous Word Your prophet laid down here with THUS
SAITH THE LORD. I know we don’t know it as he knew it Father. I know
we’re not getting near as much as we should to the depth of the
contents as we should be, the impact Lord, of what’s really gone on,
to see ourselves, maybe we don’t need to Lord, I don’t know. We’re
trusting You, O God, we’ve come this far believing and there’s no
evidence, there’s no sign whatsoever that we should ever back away
from THUS SAITH THE LORD, the vindicated Word. Neither do we back away
tonight from the Word of God. We cannot do it Lord. Help us to stand no
matter what it is, not to be bumptious, not to be aggressive but Lord,
to stand with the Word and denounce that which is unholy and wrong and
to take our stand with truth. Not that we’re anybody, condemning
anybody, but Lord, we’re standing with that Word and we see in
history, we see even today, how that Word was treated, what was done by
others. And Father, we believe we have a right to do that. The prophet
did it of a vindicated Word. Help us, Lord Father God, now to live that
Word with the gentle fruit of the spirit of love and meekness, all these
things in the fruit of God, whatever gifts You care to give us, we’re
interested in those, too Lord, no matter what it is, we want Your
fullness in any way we can have It Father, the grace of God manifested
and we being known Lord, as witnesses to You in Jesus’ Name, we pray.
Amen.

[Communion Service]

1.	We’re going to start the Communion Service and foot-washing now by
going again to Corinthians which we usually read, along with, usually,
John, taking the 11th chapter there again, 23rd verse.

		(23) 	For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto
					you, the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took 		
	bread: 

		(24)	And when he had given thanks, he (broke) it, and said, Take, eat:
				this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance 			
of me. 

	Now the apostle Paul really is explaining what the communion is all
about. What he’s doing, he’s telling them exactly what God told him.
He’s not holding anything back from them. He’s sharing with them
what he knows to be true. And this is how we look at the prophet’s
message at this time, the same Pillar of Fire that brought this to Paul,
the same Pillar of Fire revealed It to us through the prophet at the end
time, telling us these things, especially, concerning the cup of the
blood, the broken body. 

		(25)	…(and) he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This is the
					(cup of the) new testament in my blood: this do as oft as (you) 			
	drink in remembrance of me. 

2.	Bro. Branham said, “That the blood perfects the Bride.” And
that’s true, because if you’ll go back to the beginning, to your
origin, like this gentlemen [Alex Haley] that wrote ‘Roots,’ very
outstanding…very outstanding author, very excellent book, did a great
job. He went back to his roots. What did he find? Humanity—that’s
nice—makes a good story. A lot of people have done that. Family trees,
take it right back. 

	In Australia and New Zealand, especially Australia, for a while there,
they were having a great ball, and if you could trace your ancestry back
to the wickedest rottenest crook pirate brigadier, not brigadier,
brigand, brigand, immoral skuzzball, why you had the best name in
society. See? Taking your roots back is all right if you want to do it,
satisfies the human being, but this takes your roots back to God,
because if the Blood scatters sin which it does and the Blood perfects
the Bride which it does, then you have to understand in the first place
you had to be a son of God and all you needed was the Blood to perfect
you. In other words, put you in the position of restoration. 

3.	And what is the Holy Ghost do? Seals you and gives you the
understanding of the Word so you can’t be tricked like Eve. Now
you’re in a far greater position. Your sonship has been sealed to the
day of redemption, that’s what is says in Eph 1:13,14. Your sonship,
you’ve been sealed unto the day of redemption which means you’re
guaranteed what Adam lost for you. See? 

	As Bro. Branham said, “One day you’ll realize you always were
saved.” Like Bro. Branham took it right back and I know theologians,
well they’ll turn blue in the face, my the people that are really
spiritual, they are going to gag in their righteous indignation where
Bro. Branham said, “He was in Christ atoning for his sins.” Whooo!
They’re not going to like that one little bit. But I prefer to believe
a prophet than somebody’s that smug self-righteous individual that
doesn’t mean anything to me. Can’t give me anything! Can’t prove
anything! I was with a man that could prove things. Why would I want to
be around a bunch of idiots that think they got something and can’t
prove anything? You say, “Bro. Vayle, I got a hundred bucks.” Dig it
out of your wallet; let me see if you got a hundred bucks. Come on,
produce your bank account. See what you got. Don’t talk to me about
what you got, you could be a complete nut, maybe you are. Maybe I am. I
mean we shoot our mouth off; anything goes, blah, blah, blah. That’s
what’s wrong; blah, blah, blah. This man proves something. 

4.	Now, you taking communion, you are recognizing the body was bruised
and broken and it had to be in order to shed the blood, but not a bone
was broken. In other words, the skeletal structure upon which the body
hangs nothing happened to it per se. In other words, the strength,
nothing was destroyed, blood was shed, and so now as we partake the
emblems, especially the   Blood, we are attributing, confessing,
confirming, witnessing to everybody the Blood is perfecting me as a son
of God, because I am a son of God. And if you’re not a son of God; you
shouldn’t be taking the communion. The only way you know you’re a
son of God; is you believe the Word. And you stand right with
vindication. And even though you can’t prove the vindication because
the people…they won’t listen anyway and they weren’t there. What
can you do? Give witness. “Well, you might have been deceived. You
might have turned your head. You know, come on.” When a so-called
smart man wants to deal you; he’ll deal you. The word is shafted, I
think, isn’t it? Below the rib or any place they want to get you,
they’ll get you. 

5.	You can’t…discuss these things in the realm of the mind. This is
the realm of the faith. So the Blood perfects. Now let’s let that sink
in. That’s a very deep statement. How could the Blood perfect unless
there’s something there that has within it the qualifications of
perfection? Can I take blood and pour it over a statue and the statue
talk? Can I now take holy water and pour it over a woman who’s had
three marriages and she’s a virgin, because a Catholic priest said so?
Can I now take members on my slate in the church like the Protestants
do? Every morning at least the Catholics, they’re a little bit
tougher, they have their catechism and all to go through and little
ceremonies, but the Protestants, “Shake my hand you’re in, bless
God.” They’re worse than the Catholics. Can you talk to those
people? Can you share and tell them anything? There’s no way. Will
they understand what I’m saying tonight? Ah, they think they do, but
they cannot claim because the majority, even the Calvinists, will not go
back to claiming their actual participation in God as a part of God. No,
no, you’re just God’s creation, God’s children; you all went
phooey, haywire. Wasn’t it nice the Lord came by and lifted you?
That’s not Bible. That’s not Bible. Sons, He stands amongst the
sons. 

6.	The Blood, therefore, then perfects us. All sin is washed away.
There’s no sin. “You’re the sinless, virtuous Bride of the Lord
Jesus Christ.”  [1 Corinthians 11:]

		(26)	…(now) as oft as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, …

	You show how it came about. By a death. So what? A lot of people die.
You know it’s possible that some people die believing Jesus and in
worse shape than Jesus was, smitten, flogged, flesh lacerated, bones
broken, burnt. What does that mean? They just died a horrible death.
You’re looking at something different here. 

	You’re looking as Bro. Branham said, “The life was in the Blood,
and when the life left the Blood it came back upon us in the form of the
spirit.” You’re looking at something far different than just
somebody dying. You’re looking at this was needful which we don’t
understand. But it’s needful and it’s ours, and we accept it. And we
accept it in the truth, of which it is, which makes other people gasp.
They can’t understand our understanding. I got news for you. They’re
not supposed to because if they understood it, it means that you
misunderstood it. 

7.	I said for years and I say again, if I’m preaching as Bro. Branham
did, word for word, and I’m trying it. For a long time I said
there’s too many believing what I’m supposed to believe. I find out
they’re not believing It. They haven’t got a clue. And the cute
little things they’re saying, “I’m Joshua now.” Did you know you
folk presented me with a car in our fiftieth anniversary in honor of
Joshua. When they found that was a lie they said, “No, it’s on the
sidewalk,” but there’s no sidewalk. And I didn’t get a car; I got
a check. That’s thousands of miles from here. 

	Did the prophet say the truth or did he say the truth? They’re not
going to like what I got. Listen, if they like what I got, then I got
something wrong, the prophet lied. I’m not trying to make enemies of
people; I’m not trying to boast or any. I’m just trying to lay it on
the line and let you know, listen, you people smarten up and believe,
not for me, I can’t believe for you, you can’t believe for me. But I
tell you the truth, and I don’t lie to you. 

8.	The Blood perfects. Perfects only children because in the beginning
they are perfect, they fell into sin. Now the Blood removes it all. Now
if every error is gone, every sin is gone, what’s left? Perfection;
scattering sin, till there be no evidence. What are they going to come
against you with? They can’t, but we’ll be literal attorneys on that
day and men standing in witness and the judgment will not blow us away,
but it will blow the chaff away. You’re taking more than just emblems
this night, brother/sister, you’re taking what I’m talking about. 

9.	Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just have our minds renewed once
and for all? Isn’t it funny to get this…well, what it is, is like
a…how will I describe it? A loaf of bread uncooked like a hunk of
dough up here, and a sort of a pressure here that doesn’t want to give
way. I’m human; you’re human, too. You know what I’m talking
about. How come? There’s the Armageddon fight. There’s the greatest
battle going on right now. Whether you feel it or whether your mind can
even think it, it doesn’t matter, it was proven. If he said it backed
up by God, God said it. And God and His Word is one. As God cannot fail,
His Word cannot fail, neither has the Blood failed. 

	And tonight the Holy Spirit’s with us, not in this building here, God
in the form of the Holy Ghost, the Pillar of Fire came down, brought the
message is now taking head of the church, to bring the dead out, to
change the last believers, take us away. That’s what this supper
signifies tonight, brother/sister, because Paul said, “I got it by
revelation.” And the same Holy Ghost that gave It to him is here
tonight, was with the prophet, vindicating himself entirely, that this
is the truth. 

	Let’s rise at this time. Those that serve, please come forward right
away. Let’s bow our heads and pray.

	Heavenly Father, we know that not by our shouting, not by our oration,
not by any fine words, not by trying to attempt to coerce people,
convince people, will make us right in what we say but we know we had a
vindicated prophet, and we know that he is right when he said the Blood
of Jesus Christ which we celebrate tonight, the death of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the broken body, absolutely, within that lies the power which
removes sin, destroyed it completely, took it away there be no evidence,
perfecting a Bride. We stand on that tonight Lord; help us to really
stand on it. O God, in Your power tonight as the life of that Word that
we have in our minds to go right down into our souls, and then come
blasting into our hearts, and out of our mouths, perfected by the Blood,
completely righteous, deliberately by Almighty God Himself, here we
stand, vindicated by THUS SAITH THE LORD, nothing in our hands we bring,
we don’t have to bring anything in our hands, nothing on our feet, it
doesn’t matter where we come, what we got, what we’ve accomplished,
those things don’t matter, but we have a Word in our mouth Lord, a
testimony that says this is truth, and that’s all we need. 

	I believe that tonight Father, at least it’s all we can produce, and
we’re leaving You Lord, to do the rest, to give us whatever we have
need of as we partake of the emblems tonight Lord, let it be thus, let
it be so, let there not be one feeble person amongst us. Let there not
be one Lord, whose anxieties and cares overcome but let the strength of
God suffuse our hearts and our minds, Lord God, until the sick amongst
us are healed but above all, the spiritual impact leads us to a higher
elevation we’ve had ever before in the Name of Jesus Christ, we pray,
and give praise. Amen and Amen.
