Seed of Discrepancy #15 Grass Roots Predestination Origin of AIDS November 5, 1995 Heavenly Father, we thank you for the privilege of allowing us to come together in peace and safety in the sanctity of this building, Lord, which was dedicated unto You for the sole purpose of preaching and bringing forth the Word of Your Presence, which has been denied. And we know that it has to be denied, even as it was way back there in the Presence when you were with Moses, and then in the incarnation in Jesus Christ, and now today a complete denial again. And people scoffing and say, “Well, where’s the promise of his Presence? Where is this? Where is that?” And yet, Lord, if we had had eyes to see, which we thank You today we have those eyes in this building here amongst us people called Bride, gathered together to hear Your Word… And we have seen; we have heard and do testify to the Truth that Thou, oh God, are with Thy people, leading them into the Millennium, even as you were with Moses and, then, with Joshua, and our Joshua, or as You Yourself, Lord, the same One that came down with the Shout to raise the dead, to take us up in the Rapture, to incarnate Yourself at the great Wedding Supper, and then, to come back and set up a Millennial Kingdom, temple worship, and all those things, which we don’t understand, but we know they are there. And we appreciate the fact that we do know them, that through us has been given that revelation and the revelation of the Rapture, Lord, which the Bride waited for, and that short Message we believe came out of the West already. We don’t understand too much of what Bro. Branham said, but to us, we do already have at least in type or in portion. However, we believe more in its entirety because all these things Bro. Branham said under that Seventh Seal, or the Seals, will put us into a Rapture. And so, Lord, we believed that Message that has shaken the nation, though people don’t realize it has been shaken, from stem to stern, and the great earthquake of God, and the Holy Spirit came forth and separated the people, the fan in the hand, the breath of God even heard in over there in Waterloo, Iowa. It’s right recorded on a tape, Lord. And yet, Father, we know that the sound was so different in my ear it was the crashing cord of the great pipe organ. And on the tape, it is simply some other sound—sound of a wind. And we don’t understand these things, except we know that we understand to the place of revelation, and our faith is built on nothing less than the vindicated Word of the vindicated God. Help us this morning, Lord, as we study humbly before You. And then, we know that we are very great failures within our self, Father, that we are not worthy to open these pages that the prophet brought us. As we turn to open that great Word, that Bible, Lord, that’s just about run its complete course here upon earth, help us, Lord, to know the truth of It, and we’ll give You the praise. In Jesus Name. Amen. You may be seated. 1. Now this number 15 in what we’re still looking at, “The Seed of Discrepancy”, and you’re well aware of the fact the Bro. Branham took this from Matthew 13, and it has to do with the parable of the sower and the seed. (24) …(And) the kingdom of heaven is liken unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: (25) But while men slept, (And notice, he goes from the single to the plural.) his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. (26) But when the blade was sprung up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. (27) So the servants of the household came and said…, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then has it (the) tares? (28) (And) he said unto them, An enemy has done this. (And) the servants said… (and) will thou then we go and gather them up? (29) (And) he said, (No; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. (30) Let both grow together until the harvest: and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: (and) gather the wheat unto my barn. Now, the actual interpretation, although this parable is reality, it literally goes beyond a parable. You can… Actually it’s kind of like disguised characters standing for something. (36) (In the great drama that) Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house: and his disciples came…saying, Declare unto us… In other words, make us to understand thoroughly now your speech give us another speech, and tell us what this really means. Give us a real understanding of the parables of the tares of the field. 2. (37) (And) he answered and said… He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man. Now, that’s your Alpha. Now you know the Son of man, of course, is the name given to Jesus, which Bro. Branham definitely signified was a prophet. And, of course, you get that in Ezekiel, “Son of man, what do you see? What do you hear?” And so on. And again, we know also in the Scriptures, especially in Luke, where you find the days of the Son of man, and that is a prophet. And again the Scripture also mentions to us that you are the children of the prophet. In other words, if you are born of the Word, and you are apart of that Word, you had to come by a prophet, and if you didn’t come by the prophet, then, you are an illegitimate child—a seed of discrepancy. Now the thing is this, that God doesn’t send prophets all the time. He doesn’t need to. It’s all specified in the Scripture that, when a prophet comes, he will be thoroughly vindicated by God. God will vindicate himself to the prophet, and then, God will vindicate the prophet to the people. And the people will know that they actually have that Word that they can depend upon—that that prophet is a Son of man. Now he’s a part of the Word, but Jesus was the Son of man, being the whole Word. 3. So, all right. He says here in the Alpha, “He that soweth the seed is the Son of man.” Now you can go right back to the Garden of Eden, “Let us make man in our image.” And so, man was made in the image of God to have perfect dominion over the earth and the things therein. And, of course, man fell, and he lost that image, to the degree of a marring. And a marring, of course, would have to be in the body, because if you could mar the soul, forget it. And God Himself has no continuity, He has no relativity, He has no integrity, He has no status, because you are apart of Him. And that soul cannot sin; that soul cannot enter into unbelief. It may have some problems which it certainly does. And due to the flesh and the spirit that we are allowed of God, but is not of God, what is of God is our soul. Now, he said, he breathed into... Now, the first man, categorically, would be God, the second man would be Jesus. Now I know that Jesus-Only can’t stand that, and the Trinitarians are so goofed-up, they wouldn’t know what was going on. But we have no truck and trade with them. We don’t have to explain anything to them. We don’t have to worry about them. There’s nothing we’re interested in concerning them. We’re interested only in ourselves. And in being interested in ourselves, we are the children of the Son of man, a prophet. Our direct relationship to God is through William Branham. 4. Now I know right away people get their heads up and their tails up, and their miffed because, “Oh, I don’t need William Branham. I just need Jesus!” Well, you see, this is the stupidest thing in all the world. Jesus said, “Whomsoever I send receiveth me, and he that receives me, receiveth the One that sent me.” [Mt 10:40] And we know that man himself opened the door to this one way of receiving the Word of God, which was by a prophet. So, there is nothing you can do about this. You can snort and stew, which, hey… I don’t care how much snorting and stewing they’re doing. I just want to have rest and peace and comfort in my soul that I got the living Word of God. That’s all—the vindicated Word. 5. So, here you see the Alpha, the sowing. Actually you can apply this to every single age, but you go right back to the Garden: “Let us make man in our image after our likeness.” And It says, “When Adam and Eve were one figure in the spirit, God breathed into… He made a body, a human body, which was entirely masculine, but within was the feminine concept, the feminist, the feminish spirit. Bro. Branham called it the feminish spirit. And remember; he categorically stated that this masculine/feminine was made for one reason only: for propagation.” Because you simply can not have life, which is what were looking at… And remember; the male life and the female life is identical. I you’re a cow you’re a cow. You’re a pig, you’re a pig. You’re a horse, you’re a horse. You’re human, you’re human. If you’re of God, you’re of God. But the propagation is limited to specifications that God laid down. So, he breathed into Adam the breath of lives, and man became a living soul. Now, that’s for propagation, though the female was not separated from the male. So, he had to separate that later on. But the point of the matter is, when he breathed, which Bro. Branham said, “That was not simply an artificial respiration.” No, he didn’t use that term. I’m using it. He says, “It isn’t just an ordinary breath.” That’s what he said, “Human breath.” It’s God Himself breathing the Holy Spirit into that man, and he ends up with the breath of lives, and he being a living soul. 6. Now, the point is: was he or was he not a living soul before that? He couldn’t be what he was without having that element, that essentiality of God within Him already. He’s telling you that this man, now, is a part the physical creation, whereby with Eve they will bring forth children into the same physical creation, as was in the world. And you see squirrels bringing forth squirrels, cats bringing forth cats, dogs bringing forth dogs, ponies bringing forth ponies; cows bring forth cows, camels, camels. And they’re all in there, ready to go ahead. And so now, God raises up Adam and Eve. And they are going to propagate. They are going to bring forth after their likeness. Now, remember; that likeness is a likeness which is not anywhere else. No animal was made in the likeness of God. No angel was made in likeness of God. Jesus being born of God issuing forth from him was the very image of God, but he wasn’t God. He was that Son of God. “In thee I begun my generations.” So, here you see the beginning of this One has to be identified and the Alpha, as the prophet. He can’t be otherwise. Now, as Jesus was in God, we were in him. See? So, when the man was breathed into…by God the breath of lives, he now becomes a propagator of God Himself as to what depth extension and what God wanted. 7. Now, let’s look a little further down here. (38) The field is the world; (and) the good seed are the children of the kingdom… (24) (Now) the Kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man (that planted) good seed… (See?) Now, then you have a discrepancy. You go back to Cain and Able and you say, “Merciful heavens, it isn’t possible that Adam and Eve could have two children which such disparity: one loving the Word and obeying the Word of God, one hating the Word and disobeying the Word of God, and hating God. Now you’re not going to tell me, and nobody’s going to tell me, because I know the law of genetics: you are not going to have a dog come forth with a cat’s head. Bro. Branham categorically said the scientific truth, “God does not pile a human cell, then a cat’s cell, then a dog’s cell. It’s all the way.” So therefore, whatever God started back here, has got to go all the way, no matter what interferes or what comes in between; it doesn’t matter. 8. So, what you see here is that God has placed His children in the world. And that wouldn’t be just cosmos. That would be the physical earth and all that pertains to it. And then, the ramifications that come forth are due to what people are in that world that raise up the political, the financial, and all those other things that go with it. So really, you’re looking to begin with here at the physical grounds: Garden of Eden, and then, they’re going stretching beyond it all around. The tares are the children of the wicked one. That tells you right flat there that can not change either. 9. Now, how in the world did they get there? They’re sown right amongst them. Well, we know that positively, by reading the New Testament, the Pauline epistles, where Jesus has spoken in John concerning predestination, and outlined the fact right here: “You are of your father the devil; the works of your father you do, he was a murderer in the beginning,” and so on. And then he tells these right here; he talks about the great heroes of faith and so on. And Paul does the same thing, and he brings to light the fact of there is one lump. And the one lump became an entire one lump at the time of Noah. He was the last true human being. Genetically speaking, he was perfect. He was the only one left. Well, a man can’t propagate by himself. I mean all this talk of science and all, doing the stupid things they’re doing; they’re only going to reap the whirlwind. So anyway, now it’s all one lump. He said the area of the sowed them is the devil. So, all right. you’ve got the Son of man, the prophet, was the Son of God, Who manifests through a prophet; manifested through flesh, God manifesting through him. See? 10. Now at the end time, you have the days of the Son of man that are repeated. Now, notice what It says here, that those two seeds remain intact. They’re all in one field; they’re in one lump, but they are separate. See, now that’s exactly how you can have a Jacob and an Esau, same parent, but the two of them, neither one was genetically perfect. No way, shape and form. They were all messed up with the serpent seed of the flesh. But the tragic thing and the strange thing is, in the reproductive lines, there would be both the sperm and the egg of the woman—the sperm of the man, the egg of the woman—which would already be marked by God and predestinated by virtue of the fact of its source. See? Whether that was the seed of God or a seed of the enemy. 11. Now, if you think for one minute that people are going to believe what I am preaching outside of a few of us so-called, brain damaged people, you’re entirely wrong. They don’t go for this—not even those who believe in predestination go for it. Most of those that believe in predestination are the stupidest of all, because they believe that we’re all reprobates and somehow the goat gets turned into a sheep. You say, “No, Bro. Vayle. I have read their articles and they say a sheep is a sheep and a goat is a goat.” Wonderful, why don’t they explain it? In other words, they are simply mouthing. But the spirit of wisdom and revelation has come into the church to teach the deep things of God and show the church the hour in which it lives. And on top of that, Bro. Branham went so far as to say that this Spirit at the end time, through Him would teach the things that were not known from before the foundation of the world. In other words, they hadn’t been brought into view as to their understanding, though they could lie here in the Scripture in the seed form. 12. I’m going to tell you flat: one of those things was that Eve was to bring forth Jesus in a human form. Who could believe that except for us? You say, “Bring on the dunce caps, Bro. Vayle.” Well, that’s okay by me. I don’t care how they brand me. I know who I am, where I came from. (39) (Now the wicked are) that sowed them is the devil. (45) (Now) the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a…man. So, the man is set on the earth, and the kingdom of heaven has its origin—its beginnings and its endings upon earth—in the fate and the destiny of mankind, whoever that mankind is. Now, if you’ve got wheat and tares, they both have to be people. Now, how in the world does the devil get in there? You see? Because he can not create, there is no record of him having charge over any person or persons, because he did not. There is a record, however, of the beast coming to Eve and presenting her the Word of God in a false light. 13. Now, you look at the Scripture, and you’re going to find, without a doubt, that Cain had to be of that evil one, because John said so, based upon what Jesus said. So therefore, Cain, though not of the spirit lineage, as though he was literally a child of the devil in the sense that the devil could do anything about procreation or creation, the devil couldn’t. But he has got to use what is there before him, and there was this animal, the missing link. Now here’s where evolution comes together. So, Satan used this animal that could think. That animal was upright like a man, that was so close to being a human being, and yet not a human being, a place for a soul and not having a soul. Now, if he had a place for a soul, the only kind of soul that could get in there would have to be like a beast-like soul. There could no way be the human entity involved within that. So, he is an intrusion into the human race by co-mingling seed with Eve and bringing forth Cain. 14. Now, remember; the Scripture says, Jesus talking, “You’re of your father the devil, and he was a murder from the beginning.” [Jn 8:44] You can’t find one place where the devil murdered anybody. The murderer was Cain. Now he was of that wicked one. And it doesn’t mean that he simply sold himself out to the wicked one. He was literally of that wicked one, so that he could mingle with the human race, and raise up a race of hybridized people and animal together which could speak, were intelligent, cunning—when the beast was the most cunning and subtle of all the beasts of the field. You know he could have had an IQ far above Adam and Eve’s. Maybe that’s where your computer came from without a doubt. All these things of the world came from that wicked individual. 15. Now, so I say, the devil never killed anyone. Cain was the one that killed. Who was the liar from the beginning? The beast. See that’s the one that Satan used, and there’s where you find that grass roots, the basis of predestination: why God would have to predestinate under certain conditions, because a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog. That’s what, three generations right there? And a horse is a horse is a horse is a horse, that’s four. And a son a God, is a son a God, is a son of God, is a son a God for how many generations? Six thousand years. They aren’t going to believe that. See. They just don’t have the capacity. Where you and I this morning say, “Hallelujah. Isn’t this marvelous? We’ve got the explanation; this clears everything up,” they go into a tizzy, blaspheming the most high God, persecuting His saints, hating with a vengeance, ready to destroy like their father, the devil. Brother Branham categorically said, “Any kind of an evil spirit,” (and I am paraphrasing again,) “can be around, it doesn’t care. I don’t care if it’s a spirit of murder, a spirit of…you name it. If it can’t get a hold of somebody to work through, nothing can happen.” This is the same thing where God has limited Himself. God makes sure he has someone to work through. God’s made sure the devil has got somebody to work through, too. Sure. 16. So you see, this whole thing is coming out here the seed of discrepancy. Now the Alpha is the Son of man. Now, let’s read 40: [Matthew 13] (40) As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (41) The Son of man (Omega,) shall send forth his (messengers,) and they gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them (that) do iniquity. And starting with Luther, one, two, three: Luther, Wesley, Branham. So, by the time Branham comes, you don’t have anybody that offends in the sense of… Looking at It here: (41) (And) the Son of man shall send forth his (messengers,) and they shall gather out of his kingdom, all things that offend, and them which do iniquity. Under the third messenger comes the place of perfection where there is nobody left of serpent seed. There’s only the uniquely, divinely attested to, and created by, and brought forth by, and attested to a Bride. And it starts with Luther. “The just shall live by faith,” number one. Sanctification under Wesley, bringing forth fruit. Neither one of themselves could do the job that William Branham did. There’s your third messenger. And it’s through him that we come to the place where the fan is in the hand, the granary is thoroughly purged, and the chaff will be burned up with unquenchable fire. Now, remember; this takes place under messengers. Now don’t get carried away by the thought of personality. Luther Poofer, who cares? Wesley Smeshly, who cares? Branham Hanam, who cares? Do they have a message? It’s not the messenger! 17. You don’t think that’s the truth? Let me read what William Branham himself said. He said, [ANOINTED.ONES.AT.END.TIME JEFF.IN V-5 N-3 65-0725M} [269] I want you to know this is sure, you that listen to this tape. You might have thought today I was trying to say that about myself being that I was packing this Message. I have no more to do with this Message than nothing. No more to do with this Message than just my voice. And my voice…oh, heavens, even against my better judgment. What was his best judgment? To be a skunk skinner. I wanted to be a trapper. But it’s the will of my Father, that I declare to do. In other words, I’ll explain it thoroughly and tell you all about it, how the will of the Father’s involved. I had nothing to do with it. This is shear God. Count me out; put me out of the picture!” See? …And I am determined to do it, too. I wasn’t the One that appeared down the river; I was only one standing there when He appeared. Who? Son of man—form of the Holy Ghost, Pillar of Fire. I’m not the one who performs these things and foretells these things that happened as perfect as they are. I’m only the one that’s near when He does it. I was only a voice that He used to say it. It wasn’t what I knew, it’s just what I surrendered myself to that He spoke through. Oooo! You talk about the Pentecostals rising up on that one. They’d like the thought of God speaking through a person, then they turn around and say, “God doesn’t speak through anybody. That’s the devil that speaks through people. Rmrmrm.” [269] It isn’t I. It wasn’t the seventh messenger. That’s William Branham. Oh no; it was a manifestation of the Son of man. It wasn’t the messenger, his Message; it was the mystery that God unfolded. It’s not a man; it’s God. The angel was not the Son of man. Now there was a messenger who was not the Son of man. He was the messenger from the Son of man. The Son of man is Christ. He’s the One you’re feeding on. You’re not feeding on a man. A man, his words will fail, but your feeding on the unfailing Body-Word of the Son of man. 18. Now, that’s the testimony of the man himself. Someone’s going to come along and put words in his mouth or say, “Well, Bro. Branham, the thing is that you’re a good person, but you just don’t know what’s going on. See, you yourself said you’re just a tool.” Now, they want to go from the word ‘tool’ to ‘fool’. “We’re the wise guys; we’ll put you square.” Pshew! Could you believe that for one minute? That’s the spirit of Cain! They don’t even know they’ve got it. Oh, we got the spirit of God. Well, if they’ve got it, I don’t want it. I’m like Arthur Godfrey on that “Two Fat” polka: “I don’t want her; you can have her; she’s too fat for me.” I’m not interested in what they’ve got. I’m not at all interested. I came out of it; it came out of me. Sure, I’m no more nothing Laodicean Church Age than anything. Pentecostal? forget it. See? [Matthew 13] (41) The Son of Man, shall send forth… 19. All right. Luther was the first third of the Word; Wesley was the second third of the Word; William Branham was the third third of the Word. That’s the whole thing. And it’s at that time that the Son of man must manifest Himself. And under Him, you come to Malachi. Oh, how I love Malachi! And It says in here, [Mal] 3:16: (16) …they that feared the LORD and spake often one to another and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and (the) book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and thought upon his name. (17) …they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, (the) day (that) I (will) make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him. (18) Then shall you return… What’s ‘redeem’ mean? ‘Buy back’. So, here we have our redemption (See.) being carried out. And Bro. Branham said, “The book in his hand was the Book of Redemption.” Brings it down to earth. Now, if your name and my name are on that Book, we’ll be talking one to another and fearing His Name. And we’ll be part of his jewels. And It says: (18) Then shall you return, and discern between…righteousness and… (wickedness)… “Bless God, don’t tell me I don’t know right from wrong. Don’t tell me I can’t tell whose right and who isn’t right.” Well, you can’t. Until you have the Truth as revealed in the last hour, there is no way that you can. 20. And unless you are following the rules of holy communion and communication, which is by this Word, which means you and I speak flawlessly the language of the hour, so the moment you mention God, one God, Who is Holy Spirit, the minute you mention the Son of God, “Yes!, He’s that One which formed and came out of God. He is that Son of God, who laid aside all His heavenly robes according the Philippians, took upon himself a mask of flesh that His Father could dwell therein: and said, ‘I and my Father are one. The works that I do, I don’t do, period. What I say I have not of my own thinking. I am neither omniscient nor omnipotent. I’ve learned obedience through suffering. I’m right up here now on the throne of Almighty God. I’m still efficacious as mediator, intercessor, high priest. Ask anything in my Name and I’ll do it,’” we have no problem. They have the problems. The big thing is: Don’t talk with those people. Talk to each other. That’s what they did at the alpha of the New Testament. Now, in the seventh Church Age it’s to end the same way. 21. Now It says, “You that have gone astray, you’re going to return.” Well, who in the Word are you going to return to? Return to God. It tells you how to do it. (18) …(and) him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not. [Malachi 4] (1) For, behold, the day cometh… Now, that’s a chapter and a new paragraph written by man. But I believe God was in it. No problem there. But when you see a new chapter, you automatically say, “Well, that took care of that what’s behind; it doesn’t go on.” But it does go on! It says, this is requisite: (1) For, behold, the day (comes of the earth burning like) an oven. And if you don’t have this, you’ll burn with it. Now the question is, what gets burnt? The tares! But the wheat is gathered into the barn. So, that’s what Bro. Branham was looking back over here when he brought this Message out. And you notice, we could just stay with one not even change to the pages and go endlessly. But deeper insight, some new insight, more freedom, more liberty, more consecration, more what you call zeal, more enlightenment, that’s where our excitement is. 22. Now It says: (41) …gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, (Now, we’re all things to God, and those others sure aren’t all things to God, period.) and them which do iniquity. This means right here, they know to do better and don’t. They plunge right into their lawlessness. Yet everything has a law, and they’re a law to themselves. (42) And shall cast them into a furnace…(Now there you are, Mal 4:1.) Now, this is Mal 3:16 to about 18 where we read the first part here telling you what’s going to happen at the end time. We go back to the Alpha, complete headship is restored to the church which is none other than God Himself, because the head of woman is the man and the head of man is Christ and the head of Christ is God. Now you’ve got to get plumb back to headship, and you can only get back to headship because of our redeemer, which is the Lord Jesus Christ, our elder Brother, with whom we are of one source, and He’s not ashamed of us. I don’t think any of us are ashamed of Him. The thing is we are so ashamed of ourselves, looks like we’re ashamed of Him. But that’s no need. He understands perfectly. 23. So, all right. Bro. Branham has used the parable, and he said this parable, because there is judgment and fire, (I added the fire, because he talked about judgment.) He said, “This has to do with the end time.” So, we have an end-time messenger, William Branham, last remaining one third. “Repent, be baptized, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ; you shall be filled with the Holy Ghost,” [Acts 2:38] that becomes done away with. It’s past its time. And the Holy Ghost Himself, God, Elohim Jehovah… And remember; in the Book of Isaiah that great Book, Jehovah-Elohim or Elohim-Jehovah, that same One that incarnated Himself there at the river Jordan and left his Son, now become flesh, that great prophet in the Garden of Gethsemane. 24. Now He comes down to put the church in order, to return the kingdom to the rightful one, which is our own great propagator, Jesus Christ Himself, who became flesh just like you and me. I don’t care what kind of form he was in the beginning, as a light, whatever. That’s God’s business, not mine. “He’s the same yesterday, today and forever,” [Heb 13:8] He doesn’t change. I don’t care God incarnated him in another form, like back in the days he was Michael; he was a cherub that perhaps…leading in the worship of God, great archangel. I don’t know. That doesn’t bother me one little bit. All I know is who he is. And what God and he does, that’s their business. 25 See. You get carried away with little intricate things. You get carried away wondering. What do you have to wonder about? What do you care if this suit here is wool or thirty percent cotton? What does it really matter? “Well,” you say, “I wouldn’t pay that good price for cotton.” All right then, forget it. Go out and buy yourself a full wool suit and pay full price. See? Nit picking, nit picking, nit picking; nattering, nattering, nattering; wondering, wondering, wondering. 26. Oh, for lands sake, just believe the Word of God. See, it’s my believing and my faith implicitly in this Word that Bro. Branham brought. I am able to go to the Scripture and bring out certain things that there’s no way I could find any Scripture, because I didn’t believe. See? At the end time you have a perfect interpretation, a perfect revelation because it’s the manifestation of the Word of God for this hour. Oh, people don’t believe that! And they’re dying everywhere in their unbelief. When we die, we die in faith. We don’t have to have feelings or anything else. “Here I come, Lord. I’m ready.” What great feeling you have. What’s feeling got to do with it? 27. I read about three different guys that withstood Bro. Branham. I won’t mention their names. Why should I bother? And you ought to hear the eulogies concerning them, how they died with such great peace. How they died with such overflowing. How they died with such great whooo loo loo loo loo la la la. “Angels beckoned me to heaven’s golden shore. Open the door Jesus, I’m coming.” What about in the day of judgment? “I never knew you, depart from me you that work iniquity.” [Mt 7:23] What good, then, does your feeling and the testimony of your friends around your casket have to do? I’d like to know! I want some answers. Well, I’ve all ready got them. I just want to hear what they’ve got to say. 28. You know, I am going to tell you something: religion today is like all these suits and pieces of cloth that are made. They drive me crazy. I buy a suit, and I’m sure it’s one certain color. I take it outside, it’s another color. I get under the florescent lights, and it’s another color. Crazy man, crazy! That’s the way religion is today. It’s a hodgepodge. Potpourri’s too good a word for it. What a mess, and what an hour we’re living in. Oh my, my, my, my, what a tragic situation. I haven’t been watching the time or anything, how… [brief blank spot on tape] No use watching the time. We ain’t going anywhere. We’re in eternity all ready; just waiting for a little change, which will be a very nice. I’ll appreciate that myself. 29. So, all right. He takes his wonderful parable here, that’s being culminated in this hour. And It says here, “While these people are weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth, the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father.” [Mt 8:12] (See? “Of their father.”) “There will be weeping and wailing and gnashing in the kingdom of their father. Then, as the righteous shall shine forth. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Oh, man or all the people thought they were hearing in those days, and there are a lot of people think they’re hearing in these days. And I admit they’re hearing all right, but what are they hearing? As Paul said, “There’s many voices in the air, none without signification of some description.” What are you listening to? 30. All right. “Seed of Discrepancy”. Page 10. Right back to paragraph 50. I am going to fool you. I’m going to read fast today. [50] Now we find today this discrepancy has been sowed in every age. What’s he talking about ? THUS SAITH THE LORD, this is the Message. Even under Luther it’s THUS SAITH THE LORD, though he himself did not have THUS SAITH THE LORD, as though he could say, “THUS SAITH THE LORD, tomorrow morning, so and so and so and so and so and so.” He didn’t have to. God was working this out in His Own way, which was suffusing the mind of Dr. Luther with the Holy Ghost so that his mind became a functional tool of the Holy Spirit, and he’d take that Word and just burn It in. He’d stand right there so full of the Word and the Holy Ghost, he said, “God helping, I could do nothing else. I’m going to stand here. Let them do what they want to do.” He was just simply carried away. Wesley came on the scene. He was a bit more of a politician. Now Wesley got caught up in politics. There’s nobody that doesn’t get caught up in politics, to a degree. You know, you get a man like William Branham, ah ha, that’s a horse of a different color. A bird that’s of a different color. He never got caught up in politics. He never got caught up in anything, except the Word. But you see, he was predestinated to that. You can’t do what you’re not predestinated to. Let’s face it; come on. 31. [50] “Today we find this discrepancy…” this turning on the Word, changing the Word. Paul tells how it’s done. Bro. Branham quoting, actually quoting from Paul over here, Acts 20. And he tells you here… He says here: (20) (I’ve) kept nothing back… (he said,) (25) …now, behold, I know ye all, among whom I have gone preached the kingdom of God… Now see, [End of side one of audio recording.] this takes in his whole trip around the world different times, different places. (25) …shall not see my face… (26) Wherefore I take you to record this day...I am pure from the blood of all men. (27) For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. (28) Take heed therefore (for) yourselves… the whole flock and .. (so on, down, down, down.) (29) For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you… Who are the grievous wolves? Paul’s quoting Jesus, “Wolves in sheep’s clothing.” See? Now, this is an Aesop’s ass that wanted to be a lion and rule everybody. The minute he opened his mouth he brayed like a jackass, which he was, and everybody laughed. These guys are suave. They sound exactly like true ministers, except they’re one Word off maybe. Or they’ve got like Ford: they’ve got a better idea. I never did believe Ford had a better idea, anymore than I believe these birds have. 32. Now he says right here: [50] …sown in every age. (Off the Word, off the Word, off the Word.) They went off the Word until the dark ages came, holding the Word, in about (What is it?) eleven hundred years, of the totalitarian grip of Rome. The darkest of night and Luther came on the scene and cracked that shell apart. Wesley came on the scene and burst out around the world. Out of it came Pentecost, (It had to.) the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Justification, sanctification, baptism, then baptizer Himself. Under William Branham the Pillar of Fire. There It is right there, recorded on the wall. I don’t care what people say and do. That they do, they can stink’n well do what they want to do. Who cares? “Well, that’s no evidence!” Fine, fine, fine. No argument. Just beat it. You and I are finished. Sit and eat with them? Why would you sit and eat with them? They may leave the tab on you. You’d have to pay the tab. Forget it. Let them chow down and pay for their own chow down. Forget it. You’re not obligated. 33. If one time you tell a person this Truth, and he doesn’t take it, you don’t have to tell him anymore. Oh, you say, “I think I’d like to tell him some more.” Okay, be my guest. Does the Word get anymore powerful? No. Same Word. Does God say, “Let there be light. Oops, missed her. I’ll try it again.” What’s the difference between God’s Word on your lips and God’s Words on His Own lips, when there’s a certain job to do, and you’re the one to do the job? Put the Word of God on your lips. “Well, I don’t think it’s powerful enough.” 34. I’ve been accused of overkill. I laugh. I accuse them of under kill. Their swords are a bunch of mushrooms and puffballs. They’re not the sword of God that draws blood. I’m an overkill to some guys because, you see, they don’t want to keep… They don’t listen to me about talking vindication, vindication, vindication, vindication, chuga, chuga, chuga, chuga,… My train’s going to heaven made of chuga chuga vindication, vindication. What is yours made up of, bud? Forget it. Do what they want. The minute they do, they sell out to some stupidity—oh God, not even fit to be called warmed over puke. They’re pulling a Latter Rain right now around the country. Oh, brother, and people standing with it, and for it. You know why? Because they never really took a stand with this Word. Come on, you stand with this Word, brother/sister, It puts backbone in you—iron in your blood. Humanly speaking, I am lacking iron in my blood, but spiritually speaking, I’ve got more iron in my soul than most of these guys will have in ten, fifteen thousand million years, if they live. Never had any in the first place and never will. 35. Now, if it was possible to get in the next ten, fifteen minutes, I’d do, but you can’t… [50] Down through the ages… Most all of us read the Bible, now like Jesus when He came He found that discrepancy, that contrariness, which was contrary to the Word. Now, what was the discrepancy? The discrepancy didn’t have one thing to do with the miracles and the gifts and those things that Jesus did. They concurred. The discrepancy lay in the fact that they would not take that Word. They would not take the Word according to the guidelines of the Word. See? You take the Word, you’ve got to stay within the Word. You can’t walk outside and say, “I’ll try this method; I’ll do that.” See, that’s what Eve allowed the devil to tell her—walk outside the Word and she’ll be okay. You can’t do it. Look what she brought upon the earth. See? 36. [50] Now, He found this discrepancy. Now, watch: He was the Word made manifest. So therefore, He was God’s interpretation of the Word. What does that mean? If He’s the Word made manifest, all you have to do it look at Him and you know the interpretation. Say hey, this one here as Nicodemus said, “We know you’re a teacher sent from God, because no man can do the works that you do, save God be with him.” [Jn 3:2] Now he said, “I got that down pat. This thing is of God; it is a manifestation of God. Therefore, this man and His ministry is a manifestation of God. So therefore, it’s a manifestation of Scripture, and by manifesting, He’s interpreting to me some Scripture. I hope I can get my hands on It.” You think William Branham’s any lesser any prophet of God? Forget it. The same thing. See? All right. We’ve got that down pat. 37. [50] He was the interpretation of God’s Word, because He said “Search the Scripture, for in them you think you have eternal Life.” [Jn 5:39] You are looking for eternal life. You’re looking for that which God has sent forth which will help you, and thereby, you will be a part of that Kingdom which never, ever fails. Search for it. You’ll find me. Do you think they began looking in the Scripture to find what he … Ahh, ho ho ho. No way, shape and form. How many preachers today take what Bro. Branham said? go right back to the Bible and say, “I’m going to find it there because that’s where it came from”? If it didn’t originally come from here, almost unbearably fixed, rigid, unbending, it’d scare the daylights out of you—just about. Or you haven’t got a clue what I’m talking about. It’s got to be here. Oh, Bro. Vayle, “I believe the prophet, William Branham, he was fallible.” Oh, hogwash. You mean you’re an idiot and dunce and you want to compare him to yourself. Why don’t you just admit the truth? See. 38. [50] “In them you think you have eternal life.” And you do, but your thinking is wrong. “And they are they that testified of me.” They’re telling you something, and it’s being fulfilled in me. William Branham allocated that to himself, in his own role. They didn’t believe it. I believe it. Oh, my great joy is… Like Bro. Branham said, “If He sends me to hell, I’ll still love Him.” I can’t make statements like that, because, you know Lee Vayle, and I know him. And my God, have pity! But I can honestly say my great joy, if I were to miss everything, my great joy is knowing this Word and seeing what the prophet said and seeing that ‘yes, it is right there. I showed you.’ So, Bro. Vayle, “I don’t see it that way.” I didn’t ask you to. I’m telling you how I see it. This is where I get my uppers. If you want a bunch of downers, go to the creeds and dogmas, and you’ll get dressed in tatters and thrown out of the Wedding Supper, you know, room, before you even get to the Wedding Supper. There you are. 39. [50] “He was…the interpretation of the Word.” Well, how was he interpretation? Because he stood there fulfilling it. “Well, I think somebody ought to come down and tell us all these great things.” He did tell them, and they wouldn’t listen! He explained it to them. “So, I’m going to give you a little sermon, he said. I am fulfilling the very Scripture that you are claiming and talking about as having eternal Life. Here I am before you. I am that prophet. I am that Messiah. I am God manifest in human flesh, because God is manifesting through me. And you yourselves know that no man can do these works except God be with him. He said, “I don’t perform anything. I don’t see anything except it is God doing it. I’m just one standing here. I am that one.” “Oh, I beg to differ with you. I don’t believe you are that one.” Well, you tell me who is? You know what He told them? He said, “You turned me down, there’s one coming you won’t turn down.” 40. That goes for you and me, too. It goes for this age and every... Now, listen: [50] And every born again son and daughter of this age is the interpretation of the Word. “You are written epistles read of all men.” Now, what was Jesus Christ? He was that portion; He was that Word made living for that hour in a human vessel. Now the point is this: was that Word miracles? Was that Word vindication? No, by no means. The Word was the Word. The man was vindicated so you might know It is the Word. We are not prophets so. But therefore, we believe in vindication. We believe and we understand the Truth that came forth in that Message. And I tell you what: “Gifts and signs and wonders is not the sign or the evidence of the baptism with the Holy Ghost.” It is not you being written epistles by the spirit, read and known of all men because there’s miracles performed. That’s not it at all. The argument has always been over the Word. The fuss has always been over the Word. 41. So therefore, we receive this Word, and, as we receive this Word and become one with It, and testify and admit to It, the people here are a testimony, and we have become the written epistles. Now, if you don’t think that’s the truth, we’re going to take you right back here to 1 Corinthians, as I did last Sunday. This is tremendously, tremendously important. In chapter 14, It says here: (36) What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? Well, It only came to them; It never came out of them. Paul brought It, vindicated. He stood there ready to die. Barnabus came by, chosen by the Holy Ghost the same as Judas was. Right there, stood with Paul and miracles and signs and wonders and more in the name of Jesus, and oh, it looked like, hey this is the greatest guy in the world. And he wanted Paul to circumcise Timothy which meant that Timothy had no part in Christ. If you are circumcised, forget it. It’s over; you’re gone; you’re finished. How much Holy Ghost did this guy have? Right up to the point of the Word, where he saw he could get his knife in, and he had them all jumping up and down in Jerusalem—jumping on Paul’s back, trying to flatten the poor little guy. “Ah, circumcise him, circumcise him, circumcise him.” Paul said, “Hold it, hold it, hold it.” He said, “The first thing is: Barnabus, beat it.” Don’t want to even see your dust. “Oh, Bro. Vayle, don’t you think they could get him a little here, and give a little there.” Forget it. How big is a sperm that a baby’s made of? Give a little, he took a little, brought forth a cruddy giant, a filthy serpent seed. Nah, don’t get yourselves messed up in times like these. 42. “What? Came the Word of God out of you? Or came it unto you only?” [1 Cor 14:36] Now, listen; “if any man think himself to be a prophet,” that’s to whom the Word of God comes. But, of course, in this case, Paul’s just opening the door, taking in the five-fold also, which is really what it’s all about. “Or spiritual!” Spiritual man is one that is in the spirit. He’s discerning. He let go of his own sense; imbued with the Holy Ghost, he receives the engrafted Word of Almighty God, and there it is in front of him by revelation. Church built upon it. Now he said, “If you are a prophet, or part of the five-fold ministry, or you believe you’re a part of the Bride of Christ, you’re full of the Holy Ghost, acknowledge! come out flat-footed! tell it as it is! that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.” [1 Cor 14:37] There, you’re living epistle read and known of all men. Now you’re not hiding behind some gift of the spirit or some honky-tonky thing and some sweet, little life: “I’m a Christian, bless God, don’t do that.” What Word are you with? See, that’s what you’re talking about. Are you the interpretation of this hour? Am I? 43. We’re not prophets. Get that junk out of your head! Get manifestation out of your head. There’s only one place that you and I fit: that’s according to the same Book of Corinthians: the High Priest of our confession, Jesus Christ; saying the same things that he said. “Well, I’ll go back to the Gospels, praise God.” Well, you just blew it again. Go back to William Branham, the Pillar of Fire. “Oh, Bro. Vayle, you always talk about that.” Well, tell me what else I should talk about. 44. You ain’t going tell me anything. A guy tried that here, and I said, “Beat it. Get out of here.” He said, “I don’t agree with you, the last two Sundays.” I said. “What’s to agree? I own the pulpit. You want to see the check we wrote in the church to pay it off coming out of Grace Gospel Ministries, so I’ve got a place to preach? Sashay down the road. Do your devils’ dance. Do it someplace else.” Oh, some of you are kind of confused this morning. You simply can’t let Pentecost go, your daddy go, your mommy go. For God sake, let go! Doesn’t matter to me if you don’t. I’m just talking tough now, because I know people we’re not… I’m not stupid. 45. Notice; he said: [51] In vain do they worship me, …teaching discrepancy (one Word off) for doctrine. “Well, Bro. Vayle, we don’t need doctrine. We need this; we need that.” You’re a liar. If your blue print is wrong, your building is wrong, period. “See ye thou make all things according to the pattern that I have shown thee in the Mount.” The church of Jesus Christ is based upon, and built upon revelation, which revelation must come from God. And he must reveal it to one person, the prophet. [51] In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrine, the discrepancy; doctrine of men, creeds of men, teaching that to be the Word of God,” when it has nothing to do with the Word of God. One word off, and the whole thing has nothing to do with the Word of God. “Well, Bro. Vayle, I believe in Scripture that ‘he that has much, much is required’. And, if he gets really off track, then you understand he has many stripes. I believe in sort of a gradation, and so on.” Well, hey, I do, too, when it comes to what you’re talking about, but you’re not talking about what I am talking about. I’m talking about the Word. Leave It alone. Don’t touch It. Don’t fool with It. 46. Okay, paragraph 52, new paragraph. [52] Look, each age produces such a crop, every age has done it, and ours is no exception, or excuse. We’ve done the same thing, only worse. We have the same thing and a greater age of it than all other ages put together, for this is the ending of world’s history. Would this be worse than the days of Noah? Absolutely! No comparison. This is the greatest discrepancy. In other words the most damage and deliberate changes in the Word of God have been and are made in this hour, far above all other ages. But notice; [52] This is the greatest discrepancy that’s ever been on the earth, is on the face of the earth today. 47. Now, watch; this is where your two spirits are so close that you can’t tell one from the other. But it’s all outlined in Matthew 7. (15) Beware of (wolves) in sheep’s’ clothing. (False prophets.) (22) Many will (come) in that day and (say) …haven’t we cast out devils? (Done so and so and so and so?) They don’t even know that they’re emissaries of the devil. They’ll tell you with sincere heart and sincere mind absolutely, positively I am of God, and you know why? Because they take a certain amount of Scripture and stand on it, instead of taking the Scripture that’s revealed for this hour or the entire Scripture that they can read, but they refuse to read It. And if they don’t refuse to read it, they refuse to believe it. “Bless God, who needs a prophet? Who needs William Branham? Who needs this, and who needs that? I’ve got Jesus.” Oh, do you now? I got news for you. I just read Matthew 7, and I jumped over to the Matthew 24, and I find ‘you are a discrepancy. You don’t line up.’ 48. “Hey! Something doesn’t gel; something doesn’t jive. Don’t tell me Adam and Eve can bring forth a Cain. Don’t tell me.” No, the Bible already said Eve’s the mother of all living. It doesn’t say one thing about Adam being the father, and even science proves it. “Oh, there could be different lot of Eve’s.” “But we have one Eve!” Even science admits to serpent seed and doesn’t know what it’s admitting to. Because God said, “Every tongue shall praise him; every tongue shall confess that He is Christ to the glory of God the Father. [Rom 14:11] Not ‘every tongue shall confess that he is God to the glory of God,’ as though God is praising Himself. Why do you think God made us? We’re to praise Him. God doesn’t praise Himself. He just lays the record out. He likes our praises out of a pure heart that stands with the Word. 49. [52] We have it greater today for this is the ending of world’s history. This is the greatest discrepancy ever been upon the earth, is on the face of the earth… Now, listen; discrepancy in other ages pulled them away from the true and living God to idols. Now, watch; today Jesus said, Mt 24:24… Not idols… Pulls you right back to the Word. As the Roman Catholic Church now has the Bible. For years they never had it. Who was responsible? A Pentecostal, Mr. Pentecost. Don’t think the Baptists got the Bible back in Rome. No, no, no. Or the Methodist, or Lutherans. It was the Pentecostals that did it. One man in particular, when the Cardinal said, “Sir, what message should I give to the Holy Father?” he said, “Give the Holy Father the message, ‘I’d like to see the Bible in the church.’” And they proliferated the Bible. So, now they say, “Hey, we’ve got the Bibles. We’re going to bring you back.” And so, they got charismatic. They spoke in tongues, and that did it. They healed the sick; they raised the dead, and that did it. But it didn’t. We’ve got their picture in Matthew 7 and Matthew 24 and in Revelation 13. Yeah. 50. Now, listen; back there they had idols. Now, let’s go through this very rapidly, and I’ll show you where AIDS came from. I’ve been waiting to do this for month after month after month. Now I am here. And you might not agree with me, but that’s your own business. So, forget it. Now, It says here in Rom 1:21. (21) …when they knew God they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful… became vain in their (reasonings,) (The) foolish heart being darkened. (22) Professing themselves…wise, they became (utter) fools. (Absolute jabbering idiots.) (23) …changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into and image made like to corruptible man, …(to) birds and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (24) Wherefore God gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour of their own bodies between themselves; (25) Who change the truth of God into (the) lie, and worshipped and serve the creature more than the Creator… (That’s by their idols, see.) (26) (And) for this cause…gave them up to vile affections: for even (their woman did change the natural (and) that which is against nature: (27) And likewise…the men leaving the natural use of…woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly… receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was meet. (God gave them over to complete reprobation.) All right. This is homosexuality. And where homosexuality came from… Where did it come from? It came from those nations, and is prolific in those nations, that still have idols. Go to Africa. And I’m not against the Africans. Where is it? Where the idols are being carried around? 51. Now you say, “Well, that’s the blacks.” Oh no, no, no! Hold it. There’s another color involved, yellow. Where’s the great city of sex today? Is it Bangkok, I think? Little girls sold to prostitution, five, six years of age. Maybe three hundred thousand prostitutes all full of AIDS and giving somebody, some bodies, new customers, maybe five cases a day. Idol worshippers. See? Where’d it come from? Africa, Thailand, idol worshippers. You think India’s not full of it? You say, “Brother Vayle, how’s it over here, then, where there’s not idol worshippers?” Well, that’s simple as A-B-C. That’s simply 2 Timothy. [Chapter 3] (1) Know this…in the last days perilous times shall come. (2) For men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, (as) boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful… (3) Without natural affection. Now they say the woman has a gene, which she passes on to her children, which right away they just automatically, like ducks go to water, they’re homos and lesbians. I ain’t going to argue, but I’ll tell you the real reason: they left the gene of God, the Word. Now they’ve got death dwelling in them. And if Bro. Branham said, “Don’t you say the smoking and cursing and drinking are sins. There’s only one sin, that’s unbelief,” what I mentioned are merely attributes. 52. Listen to the attributes. Oh, my Lord, have pity! (3) Without natural affection, (covetous, lovers of selves, boasters, proud blasphemers, disobedient of parents, unthankful, unholy,) false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good… Fierce. Whooo, man, that scares you. Better stay in at nights and lock the door. (4) Traitors, heady highminded, lovers of pleasure… (AIDS) Maybe one hundred and fifty people were killed because of Ames [Robert?], and he sits in prison. He should have been strung up. You say, “Bro. Vayle, who are you to judge.” I don’t have to judge nothing. That’s the Bible. That’s the law. If you have to judge a law, that’s what the judges are doing. They’re judging laws. They’re suppose to maintain the laws. Forget it. We’re at the end. Perversion has multiplied till there’s nothing left. 53. (5) Having a form of godliness, (homosexuals in the church; lesbians in the church. Whooo, man!)…denying the power (and the authority and that which goes with it.) Denying the very power of the Scripture. How can they do it? Except William Branham and man like him be there. This is the Alpha; that’s the Omega. Christ the power of God on the scene—turned down flat. You talk about an end-time Message, brother/sister. (5) …from such turn away. (6) For (such) are they (that) creep into houses…lead captive silly woman laden with sins, led away with diverse lusts, (7) Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (8) Now as Jannis and Jambres withstood Moses… See, there you are. There’s that Matthew 7, coming up. “Wolves in sheep’s clothing,” purporting to be children of God, bringing the Word of Almighty God. “I’ve got signs and wonders. Look at my life. I’m this, I’m that.” You think I’m not assailed? I won’t tip my hand and tell you what’s going on in my life. If I were to tip my hand and tell you, you’d be amazed. The hatred I’ve got from people. Phew, who cares? If I’ve got what William Branham had, I’ll just draw try to draw bigger circle. But I will not draw a big circle for a guy that’s off the Word. But now it’s got to where it’s very pitiful. Janis and Jambers withstood Moses, withstood William Branham, the Pentecostals. 54. “So did these resist the truth.” How? Because they had some, too. “Who’s this Moses guy? Bless God, I can throw down my right… pppttt, throw her down; turn her into a snake. Hah, there you are. Take him by the tail; go into a staff. There you are. I can call for fleas, I can call for this. I can do the same thing.” They ran out of steam though, because they didn’t have THUS SAITH THE LORD. They simply withstood, and there were those around too happy to stand with them. And they said, “Go to it, Janis and Jambres.” [Bro. Vayle claps his hands.] “Hey,” said pastor Pharaoh, “That’s wonderful. Well, I always did hate Moses’ guts, but this is just too good to keep. Get him. Get him.” Get William Branham, get the faithful five-fold ministry; bring them down somehow. 55. Well, halleluiah! Let them try. They could shoot me full of holes till I leak like a sieve, but that doesn’t do one thing to the inner man. Their sinner man can not touch my inner man. Yep. But they’re corrupt of mind—reprobate. They never had it; they never could have it; they never will have it. They’re reprobates concerning the faith. Plumb gone shot! Yet the spirits are so close, they’re like a razor blade. Brother/sister, don’t fall into Latter Rain traps; may God have pity on your souls. Disabuse your mind, your heart, your conscience, your soul, everything, of Pentecostalism. Yield to the true Spirit of God that lies within the conduit of the Word that has been vindicated. No Word of God that isn’t in this Book—you can not trust it unless it has been vindicated for this hour. Don’t try to run through the whole Book like these guys in Europe and different places do and say, ‘Well, there’s Scripture over here in Zachariah; there’s Scripture over here in...’ Wooyaawooyaaa ... Oh, who cares if there’s Scripture everywhere! What doctrine has been vindicated? What has been set forth by the living Word of the living God in a prophet? That’s what you’re looking at, see. I don’t know. Talk about discrepancy. It’s so cunning, ‘Satan is among the people.’ “Well, halleluiah! Let him be among the people. God’s among his people. So what’s the big brouhaha?” 56. Satan isn’t so cunning to be amongst his people. God beat him to the punch. God’s amongst his people. I’m not talking about the baptism with the Holy Ghost. I’m talking about God! There’s His picture. Oh, that’s not His picture; that’s just the fire, the flame. But isn’t it consoling to know we have the warmth of the pure Word of God revealed to us? What a wonderful blanket…what a wonderful wedding garment to wrap ourselves in. 57. [52] Oh, talk about discrepancy! It’s so cunning. Satan is among the people, and just such a theologian, such a doctor, if anyone can teach the Word almost perfectly. Jesus said so. Watch him. He’ll be somewhere. Said, “Well, now, that wasn’t for this.” Oh, yes it is, too, see? because God said it was. Now, what’s he referring to? He’s referring to William Branham. “Well, who needs Elijah? Who needs William Branham?” 58. The old timer said, “Bro. Vayle, I believe Bro. Branham was a great man,” but he said, “I’ve had dreams and visions, too.” And I felt so sorry for the old duck, I didn’t blast him. It doesn’t do any good to blast anybody anyway. Just walk off. “Well, have a nice day, brother,” and walk off. I could have said, as I have told you many times, “Brother, let’s you and me sit down and exchange visions, prophesies, (And I mean ‘visions’, and I mean ‘prophesies’.) and the healing of the sick. Let’s see if you can begin to touch my record.” And I don’t even have one. 59. And I saw William Branham that night he said, “Bring me twenty-five of your worst cases. I guarantee healing for all,” or bring them all through the prayer line where sixty percent get healed. I never saw one failure out of about one thousand people. God didn’t only miraculously take care of twenty four or twenty-five He took care of over a thousand. They got over twenty times their wish, and didn’t even know it. And old back-slidden Lee Vayle, that got so fed up with Pentecost and all the shenanigans and all the crooks and all the liars, he said, “If this is what it is…” And I walked off, and I paid a price. I mean I paid a price. And I wouldn’t have even gone near to Bro. Branham, but my wife, and our little house keeper that helped us, she was Pentecostal, and my wife went with her, and she said, “Lee, you’ve got to go.” And she told me the great things she saw, and I said, “Well…ppttt… I don’t have to go; he was good for you. Goodbye Charlie.” And my friend came by, and I don’t know where he is today. He could be dead, but he’s the guy that put pressure on me, and I just couldn’t say no to him. He was such a nice guy, so I said, “I’ll go along.” 60. Being a preacher, he got me in the building where nobody else, and that last seat up above. It was all over. [Bro. Vayle ‘chokes up’.] You can’t see God manifest in human flesh and not know it. You can’t see this Word come to life and not know it, unless you’re reprobate. Without a doubt I was the only man sitting there that heard within him say it, “You ever listen to any man, that’s the man you’ll listen to.” And that took a long time. See, I still had enough in me that wanted to know something or be somebody. Oh, it’s so good not to know anything, or have to know anything. You let somebody else know it’s for him; you come by and cabbage in on it and take all the profits. The price he paid, what he endured…! I just come along and pick up and say, “Well, thank you Bill, prophet of God, Bill Branham.” And thank you, Lord, that you quicken my senses to know those things. 61. Seed of discrepancy: millions, actually billions, a teeny percentage going to get out of here. So you say, “Brother Vayle, I’m going to make it. You’ll see.” I’ll be watching. I’ll be watching how you’re going to make it. It’s what’s it all about. Let’s rise and be dismissed. Heavenly Father, we thank you for the time we felt in fellowship here, time we’ve had together looking at Your Word, going to what the prophet said, going into truth, reminiscing, going into history, looking at the present, looking at the future a little bit, knowing that it has come together in this last day, this last hour by the grace of God, and we’re recipients of grace that other people only long for, and they couldn’t have it. Now, there’s a world of about five and a half to six billion people. And you thoroughly manifested Yourself with Mount Carmel show downs. The people weren’t of that group that said ‘We’re waiting and watching for it,’ as the Bride is waiting for the revelation of the Rapture. Little bit confused she was, and she didn’t know which way to really go. And vindicated Word came along, and she knew which way to go. So, the world’s turn. Eight people making the ark—same percentage today, no doubt. But thank you, Lord, for bringing us the light of the truth of the revelation, whereby we can walk, not in darkness, but in the light of Almighty God. Thank you for every soul here this morning that loves you, Lord, and proves it by loving the Word. Because that’s the thing they hated you for, was that Word that was real. They didn’t hate You for gifts and miracles and everything else. They wanted them by the ton. Could have taken them day and night, to what: thirty-six hours a day? And when it came to that Word, they didn’t even want fifteen split seconds. In fact, they wouldn’t even give you a chance to talk. They nailed You to a cross and put thorns on Your head to destroy You and said, “He’ll die and we’ll survive.” But the fact of the matter was, You survived and they died. God, may we see that today, in this last hour of crucifying the Son of God afresh, we might take out stand with the Word, the liberating, wonderful Word of God, the Word that dresses us, gets us to the Wedding Supper, the Word that takes us over to the Promise Land, fit vessels to dwell in that great land the Millennium, where temple worship in God Himself. Oh, what a marvelous day, what a wonderful time, Lord, I don’t have a clue, but I know it’s going to be marvelous. We thank you for it. Heal the sick amongst us, Lord. You know I myself need so many touches, it would almost be like going through a carwash to get help. So, Father in Heaven, we all need Your help this morning. Help us, we pray, for one reason: to be strong in the grace which is in Christ through the Word of the living God and communicate more with each other on the strength and beauty and glory of the Word and to You, Lord, on the basis of the Word and the church all coming together with the Word, being the Word and, then, going into a Rapture. Unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be all power, honor and glory through Jesus Christ our blessed, wonderful, risen Lord. Amen. “Take the Name of Jesus with You.”
