Seed of Discrepancy #6

Reject the Prophet, Reject God

One Mediator: the Man Christ Jesus

February 26, 1995

  	Heavenly Father, we welcome your Presence, and we know these truths,
Lord, they’re absolutely vindicated, that Jehovah Elohim Himself came
down in order to head up the church, to bring a Bride to the Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, our elder brother, in whom our generations started
(And we appreciate that, Lord.) to be taken from a race down here, an
earthly race to a heavenly race, wherein we had our origin. So
therefore, we know that it’d have to return to that, being the Alpha,
we must come to the Omega, which hope we have sure and steadfast that
Christ is already fulfilled that proposition for us and now, death has
no hold, but, soon all the rest of the Bride will come out of the earth
and the others will join, and the ones redeemed here will be changed to
make that glorious congregation and convocation at the great Wedding
Supper, when there will be the reincarnation, Lord, and we will see the
truth as never before.

  	So, we thank You for that, and we pray, Lord, you’ll open our eyes
further this morning as we study Your Word to show the accuracy and
inerrancy of the vindicated prophet of God, so that we can stand on
truth, Lord, and knowing the foundation is such, that the winds of, and
blithe of, life and all these things can fall upon us, yet our house
will not fall because it’s built upon the solid rock of revelation of
the Word of God by God Himself shining into our hearts that we might
know Him and the things that are freely of Him. We praise You this
morning and commend ourselves to You, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

  	You may be seated.

1.	Now I guess we are on number six of the “Seed of Discrepancy”.
And last week we took much time, as we usually do, showing you that,
though the people of the hour, to whom a message comes via a Messenger,
do not ever at any time repudiate the actual, written Word of God that
is presented, but deny the true interpretation, having already
supplanted any possibility of the reception of truth through creeds and
dogmas which are their present foundation… And of course, if you
disrupt the foundation, where is the building? It’s gone. If you want
a building to collapse in a hurry, you could, you know, have the storms
come upon the sand, if that’s what your house is built upon, like
where we see that Bro. Branham mentioned that California is the
graveyard of preachers, which it certainly is. And you notice, it’s
very famous for its mud slides. Well, you get the mud coming down, the
houses are gone. And you see, the thing is out there believe they had
the foundation that could take it.

 2.	Now we find the earthquake in Japan, and we know that Harold Lloyd
Wright and different men went over there, and they did a good job at
eliminating many possibilities of certain types of earthquake. But now
with over there in Kobe, Japan [1995], there has been a big inquiry now
as to, ‘Hey, did the people really do this right.’ And we find out
it’s a lot like what is in L.A., when they had the earthquake there,
and the big superstructures of the highway came tumbling down, they
found that a lot of graft went on. It wasn’t built right. And so, you
have people that just refuse to give up their foundation.

3.	And then, when the storms blow upon it and it’s time for the
end-time judgment, where they don’t even believe that the Church is
purged, that Israel is purged, and the earth is purged, though they know
somewhere in that thinking, and, you know, they would sort of know that
to a degree, they simply don’t take to the truth. Now then, as I say,
they don’t repudiate the Bible. Why, man alive, you go to any church,
even the Church of Christ that absolutely gives the devil the credit for
healing, when the devil can’t heal… “Oh, I believe the Bible cover
to cover,” and they’ll even say even the covers. Oh yes, they are
very religious—very religious. 

	Now the Mormons will say, “I believe it cover to cover, but we have
Joe Smith.” 

	Well, bully for them. If you can believe a load of that stuff without
any vindication, I’m going to tell you: you’ll fall for anything. I
mean, just look at it. What’s with those guys? I just want you to just
sit back and let your mind go, to become thoroughly incredulous. You
know why? So you will start thanking God for the fact you got
vindication. You’ve got something that God Himself spoke back to,
which is the prophet. And God himself spoke to us through the prophet;
just like Jesus said, “My words are not my own.” And he was a
prophet. So therefore, every other prophet, their words were not their
own. And you know what? The devil’s word is not his own. In the Garden
of Eden, he didn't take any word of his own. He took God’s Word and
perverted It. Oh, slick as a whistle. Yeah. The Pied Piper kind of
whistle, and all the rats following him. Sheep are not going to fall for
that kind of nonsense. You better believe that to be the truth.

4.	So, all right. They got a wrong foundation. They can’t receive the
true revelation of the Scripture, but they don’t deny the Scripture as
being there. Now, consider Paul, the first age messenger; he was
absolutely vindicated by God to bring all the Scripture that was
allotted to the Gentiles as pertaining to their predestination. He tells
you that in Ephesians. Such Scripture to become effective to them
through the death and resurrection of Jesus-Messiah, Jehovah-Messiah
which made the way for God Himself to come to Paul and then deliver the
truth of the true God to the Gentiles. 

	Now, without the shedding of the Blood, there is no way that God could
have come to Paul. So, we know that when God came to Paul, which, of
course, He not only did at the time of His descent on the road to
Damascus, but then later God filled him with a portion of His Own
Spirit. And when Paul went to the desert in Arabia, about three years in
there, I think, Bro.Branham said, God Himself personally came in the
Pillar of Fire. For Bro. Branham said, “Just think the same Pillar of
Fire that brought the Word to Paul is here revealing It.” He said,
“How wonderful,” which is true. So, that made a way through Jesus
Christ for God Himself to come to Paul and, then, deliver the truth of
the true God to the Gentiles.

5.	Now Israel well knew that in Abraham the Gentiles were to be blessed.
There’s no doubt they knew the Scripture. And they could quote it very
fluently. But you notice, they had their own idea, then, and they’ve
still got their own idea. For in rejecting Messiah, which they plain out
of hand did, they substituted Israel for Messiah, as though God would
one day raise up from amongst them a leader. And I suppose that’s why
Israel still wants the atomic bomb and wants every type of fortification
and armament she can get, because she’s still got that idea in there
of world control, though she is doing it now by the finances. Of course,
if you’ve got the paper, you can buy all the goodies you want to have
a war. 

	But, you see, they are still missing out on Messiah. Every now and then
they vote somebody in to be Messiah, and, of course, he dies because he
wasn’t worth any more than a kettle of dead fish. And dead fish smell,
so that’s about all—good fertilizer, but that’s about all, going
back to the earth. So, Israel never did come to the knowledge, and they
will not come to the knowledge until Jesus himself appears and they
behold his wounded side and his hands, and they say, “Yeah, we hope
it’s not want we think it is, but I’m pretty sure it is.” 

	And, that’s when, like Joseph, he said, “You meant it for evil, but
God meant it for good in order to save lives. And, I’m here now to
help you and take you out of your bondage.” 

6.	So, all right. Now, remember; God vindicated Himself to Paul, then
vindicated Paul to the people, and thereby we were given a true Word
revelation, because It was vindicated; God doing His Own interpreting or
revealing. Now I don’t care if it came by a man, or it came by a door
post. And I wouldn’t care if God waited in this age to somehow speak
from the ether out there having warned each one of us: you better pick
up a certain type of radio receiver because I’m going to broadcast to
you. What if we could not get a receiver? How much better to rely on
God’s Own Contract with us, when Israel said, “Moses, we don’t
want to hear God personally any longer or see anything from Him. You go
up there and you deal with God for us and come back and tell us.” 

	And God said, “That which they have said, I certainly agree upon.”
You see, God put it in their hearts. He put it in such an extent they
had to say that.

7.	Now, isn’t it wonderful to know that God will use a prophet? A
vindicated prophet. Now, if he’s vindicated, and you’ve got a place
in you for the Word, you’re going to be thrilled to death with
vindication. You don’t care about anything else. It’s ‘live, die,
sink or swim’ and, ‘bless God, it ain’t dying and it ain’t
sinking’. It’s ‘living and swimming’ because we leave here,
we’ve already got this word body or spirit body waiting for us. I’ve
been thinking about that recently and when we will talk about it, to see
just what we come up with. 

8.	Now in this last age or last hour wherein it is according to Matthew
17 (That’s “Elijah must truly come and restore all things,” and
Acts 3, which is the same thing.) that God will restore His Word by the
prophet Elijah, we find the true God coming in the identical manner to
the prophet William Branham as He came to Paul, (And we made the quote.)
vindicating Himself to Bro. Branham, then vindicating Bro. Branham to
us, and all for the purpose of the true revelation of Paul’s Gospel
being restored to us. As in the first church age, it had already become
fouled: another God, another son, another Gospel. And Paul said, “The
light of the glorious Gospel absolutely has to shine in.” God Himself
doing it through a ministry that’s got to happen. And it can only
happen at the end time. See? And they blew it back there, but it’s
still going to happen. 

9.	Now, according to Rev 3:14, that’s the first verse, “Unto the
messenger of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the
Amen, the beginning of the creation of God, the faithful and true
witness.” Now, according to Rev 3:14 the God of the Amen or the Omega
God… Now, God was the Alpha God at the time of the apostle Paul to the
Gentiles. At this time, He is the Omega God. Now, Alpha being Omega and
Omega being Alpha, you had better believe that there has to be a
vindicated prophet with the Pillar of Fire or forget it: there is no
such thing as an Alpha and Omega principle, which I proved to you time
after time after time going through the whole Scripture. You cannot get
away from it. 

10.	Now in plain English, how God sows Himself into the people by His
Spirit, by His Word vindication, by whatever manifestation, you’ve got
to have a reproduction of It. And this time the reproduction is going to
bring forth all of It, which is all the mysteries according to Rev 10:7.
And we cannot get by It. Now, according, then, to Rev 3:14, the God of
the Amen or the Omega God, the God of Truth, the only true God… Now
any other declaration, other than what we are looking at through
vindication, is from another god. Now, there is another god, and he’s
called the god of this world, blinding people’s eyes. Notice the
difference: God Himself shining in; the devil himself blinding.

	You know, the devil is often pictured like the squid, the octopus, the
devil fish. Right? That’s what they call him. You notice how that,
when he’s attacked, he squirts out the ink and hides himself. And so,
the devil is very cunning at hiding himself behind his creeds and his
dogmas, quoting the Word all the while, perverting, sewing seeds of
discrepancy in the discrepant ones. So, all right.

10.	The only true God, the faithful and true Witness, which means God
vindicating Himself and proving His integrity: proving it is He, proving
what is to be brought forth by His vindicated prophet will be of Him.
Not just something permissive; this is more than permissive. This is the
two-edge sword of judgment coming forth. God vindicating Himself and
proving His integrity—proving who He is and then delivering His Word.
And in Rev 3:20, He contacts one man, and one man only, and uses him as
He used Paul.

11.	Now, you cannot get the people to believe since they’ve been
taught, and this is what they call the plainery or the full edition; you
cannot add to it or take from it. You’ve been given the Holy Ghost to
understand it. And now you stand like the apostle Paul. You have your
own definitive revelation because Jesus said you need not any man to
teach you, I’ve got the Holy Ghost so therefore now it’s all
completely full and wonderful, hallelujah, and I don’t need anybody.
I’m not interested in Elijah. I’m not interested in this, that, and
the other thing. Glory to God. I believe the Bible, and they quote It.
So did Israel, and going right to hell doing it. God of many great
tribulations 70 A.D., where blood ran on the streets. People ate their
own children. And they stood there like fools for a cause of death
instead of a cause of life. It wasn’t ‘sink or swim’; it was
‘sink’. It wasn’t ‘live or die’; it was ‘die’. Same thing
today. You’re either going to live or you’re going to die. Face it.
You’re either going to sink or going to swim. You don’t have a
choice other than that. 

12.	I can’t understand why everybody... There are so many people
sitting on the fence. And preachers try to lead people back into
Pentecost sending out papers quoting Bartleman on Reverend Seymour, on
Isuzu Street. And I just read it this morning. And he had the gall to
let you know there was no Scripture used. “Pray, pray, pray. Pray,
pray, pray. Talk in tongues, talk in tongues. Pray, pray, pray.” 

	You can pray and go to hell with your prayers. And I’m telling you
flat. You can spin your wheels. What makes anybody think that God has
changed? You think for one minute they believe Rev 10:7 to be an actual,
living prophet upon this earth here? You believe they hooked that up
with Rev 3:14. By no means. No. They are not going to do that, see. They
do not believe for one minute, that even by vindication, which no man
can touch and refute...although, in their lives they refute. Some of the
people now dying have run around for years saying that Bro. Branham got
his doctrine from Jolly, the soul-mating guy. Bro. Branham couldn’t go
to their meeting. God stopped him. He couldn’t go to Latter Rain. God
stopped him. But, oh they’ll tell you, “Oh yes, brother. Oh, so and
so said this before Bro. Branham.” “Oh, he got it from this guy.”

13.	Let me tell you something flat: William Branham understood one God,
(In the face of his pastor Reverend Davis, a Missionary Baptist, and
stood against women preachers.) don’t tell me he got that from a bunch
of Pentecostals, because Bro. Branham was never Jesus-Only, never
believed in soul-mating, never believed in women preachers. Bro. Branham
wasn’t a two-headed duck or two-faced duck. But these guys were a
bunch of rubber ducks floating on the pond and their quack was nothing
but inflated air. They have no real voice; they have nothing but clamor.

14.	So, this guy writes this article, and in there you find every single
thing that the prophet stood against. from the Book of Corinthians,
which was confusion. Not denying the Book of Corinthians—not saying
that things that were there in principle were sinful, but they used the
Word of God the same as Satan did to change the truth of God into a lie,
even way back there. And it became sinful and exceedingly sinful, and
Bro. Branham came on the scene to put them right. Now Bro. Paul tried to
put them right, and they wouldn’t believe It. Bro. Branham tried to
put them right, and they wouldn’t believe It. So, do the people
believe? The answer is “No.”

15.	Now, they do not deny the Word as though they cut It out of their
Bibles. But they deny that God is doing what He is vindicating. In a
very fuzzy way—neither light nor dark, but lukewarm, they know the
works are of God. They can’t help but know it because they are doing
the same things. But they don’t have “Thus Saith the Lord.” But
they deny the Word. 

16.	Now God is here fulfilling His Word—revealing and fulfilling. To
reject the vindicated revelation of the Word is to reject God because
that’s why He’s here with His prophet. The vindication is nothing
more than the sign that points you to the bus. Now, as one fellow says,
“You don’t get on the sign that says to the bus and try to ride it.
You smarten up and say the bus is in that direction, I will go and get
on it.” 

	The voice of the sign. What is the voice of the true sign? The truly
revealed Word of Almighty God. 

17.	So, to reject the vindicated revelation of the Word is to reject God
because He’s only here to reveal and to fulfill His Word. To reject
God and His Word is to reject the true God and receive the lie. Oh no,
better still, to receive the liar. The devil was a liar from the
beginning. And notice; he even used an animal which was intelligent. To
reject the true God is to receive the lie, for he that is not with me is
against me. That’s Luke 11. “And he that gathereth not with me
scattereth.” You want me to look in the Bible. Take your Bibles.
You’ve got them. Luke 11. I think it’s Luke 11. It’s Lk 11:22. Now
I want you to notice before you read this: You are actually looking at a
replay of Matthew 12, wherein they blaspheme the Holy Ghost. 

18.	Now, tell me how much difference there is between the Church of
Christ saying that Bro Branham’s ministry was fully of the devil, and
that’s how he cast out devils, (and the sick were healed because the
devil heals and God doesn’t) and those who reject out of hand the
vindicated prophet of the hour and turned down the Word of God for their
own creeds and dogma. And the answer is: they all end up in the Lake of
Fire. No difference.

19.	So, here you have this here. This is the Alpha, and Bro. Branham
brought this to the Omega because he said, this is when blasphemy
against the Holy Ghost really takes place: when they tribute unto Satan
the works of Almighty God and refer them to his own ministry. Now, was
William Branham saying that in order to scare people? Well, I’m going
to tell you one thing: you cannot scare people out of hell and scare
them into heaven. That’s a biggest bunch of bunk in the world because,
if you are not a sheep, you aren’t never going to get there, and you
would not ever want to get there anyway. And that’s proven by the very
fact that the devil and his whole bunch come against God to try destroy
Him and the holy people. They are not interested. They’d be terribly
miserable if they got there, because there is nothing there they desire.

20.	So, all right. This is for the end time. And he says you’d better
be careful here (Now, watch.) because Jesus came vindicated. And he
said, listen, look at those works. Now you take those works and thereby
understand that I am that prophet and I am giving you that Word of God
now, and there’s nothing that hasn’t been fulfilled by me that’s
required. Now, if you turn that down—what difference if you simply
called it the devil. The fact of the matter is, they are calling it of
the devil because, if they don’t recognize it of God, then where in
the world is it coming from?

	“Oh, Bro. Vayle, a little psychology…” 

	Oh come on. That’s a couple of jackasses that write in the press. How
many people are going to stand up and say ‘This is psychology; this is
psychology.’

21.	Remember the time the fellow in Africa tried to pull that on Bro.
Branham? The little girls eyes were cross-eyed—the boy—whatever it
was. And the doctor behind him, invited to the platform, he called this
psychology. Bro. Branham whirled and said, “Doctor, if this is
psychology, you come and do the next one.” 

	Why, the guy froze. But he did become a Pentecostal preacher—which I
don’t know that enhances anything. I’m just honest with you. Maybe
it’s good; maybe it’s good; maybe it’s good.

22.	Now he says right here, Satan’s kingdom is divided the minute that
you do not attribute this to God. Now, that’s the point we’re
looking at. I don’t care if you say, “That’s of Satan. Well, I
don’t know where that’s from. I don’t know where that’s from.
That’s just something that happened; every two thousand years we got a
phenomenon. I don’t know.”

	You’re shot. The thing is: recognize!

	Now, if a baby sheep can’t recognize its momma, there’s something
exceedingly wrong because that baby sheep has a peculiar sense of smell
that goes to his momma, and the baby sheep has a peculiar smell on him,
but the momma goes to him. In other words, he can sniff the breeze, and
he’ll know it’s his momma. If he makes a mistake, the other mom will
push him away—‘get out of here brat; you don’t belong.’ 

23.	Now he says here then, when a strong man armed keeping his palace,
his goods are in peace. When a stronger than he shall come upon him and
overcome him and taketh away all his armor wherein he trusted and
divides his spoil. Now, you take this to the end time, when God came on
the scene here and spoiled Pentecostal’s armor, which is gifts, they
negated the Giver. Where did it start? By their refusal to recognize the
vindicated ministry was God, period. Because you can’t separate
healing from God anymore than you separate Word from God, because the
Rhema-Logos God said, “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” God the
healer—the God of truth. 

24.	Okay now, he that is not with me is against me. The Pentecostal’s
are antichrist. 

	“Oh, Bro. Vayle… Oh, Bro. Vayle, don’t say that.” 

	Well, I just said that. What are you going to do? Turn me in as a hate
monger? Go ahead. It’s on tape. Be my guest. 

	It’s not only just against, but ‘antichrist’ means ‘instead
of’. So now, the Laodicean Pentecostals are papal because their whole
conference has taken the place of God, and they’ve become vicars. The
Lutherans followed the Catholics who are vicars. They became
‘vicars’, which is ‘instead of’; ‘vicarious’ means
‘instead of’. Then the Methodist became vicarious. Now the
Pentecostals are. But God has proven He stands alone: “the same
yesterday, today and forever,” as He stood with Abraham outside the
tent and Sarah in the tent, before the promise son coming in flesh, the
day before the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah. I love that. I love it. It
gives me strength for the battle. 

25.	He that is not with me is against me. And he that doesn’t gather
with me—end-time evangelism with this message—he’s scattering. How
would you like to have that said to you? 

	If you want to turn to Exodus 32, I’ll read It to you, and if you
don’t, that’s all right. And in Ex 32:26, we find that Moses, after
Israel left Egypt, got into idolatry, because Moses was off the scene
for a while. He was away. Maybe Bro. Branham is kind of like Moses.
He’s away resting somewhere, which God knows he certainly is, waiting
for him to come back. And if it parallels the ministry of Jesus Christ
perfectly, he’ll come back and tell us the things of the kingdom and
various mysteries and things, which I’m just happy and hungry to
receive. I want him to come back. How he comes back and what he does, I
don’t care, as long as he comes back and fulfills his role. But Moses
is away.  

26.	Now, during this time, Aaron, the brother, the priest, the
Levite…because of the people, saying, “Wow, Moses is gone what’s
to happen now. Things can’t be in order. This isn’t the way things
should be. We better do something about it.” The Branhamites are
returning to Pentecost. We see this every time. 

	Now these guys prevailed upon Aaron, so he said ‘Break off your
gold,’ which was to be reserved for the Ark of the Covenant. That’s
why the Israelites were given favor by the Egyptians. The women said,
‘Now if you want to get us out of here…’ and the men said, ‘If
you want to get us out of here that bad, you better make it worth our
while. We’ve been slaves all these years. Give us gold and jewels. And
they just loaded them with gold and jewels, and they went out. That’s
how they got the beautiful gold and all the silver and stuff to make the
Tabernacle in the Wilderness and everything else there. My, it’s just
loaded with gold.

27.	Now the people broke off their nose rings and earrings and all this
and gave it to this man, Aaron, and the strangest thing happened. They
said, ‘Make us gods to go back to Egypt.’ 

	Well, if you’re going to have gods to go back to Egypt, the god or
gods that you have must fit perfectly and be the Egyptian gods, like
homing pigeons.

	Now Aaron did a peculiar thing: he threw the gold in the fire. It
doesn’t say he even molded it. And there came forth these two calves
of gold. Now you’ll notice that at this particular time, death has to
strike, the same as at Baal Peor. And you notice that these people turn
to idolatry. In the time that Moses was away and Moses could come
back… Haven’t you noticed, the Trinitarians have turned from their
idolatry to another idolatry which is Jesus-Only? And ninety-five
percent cannot even read anymore. 

28.	The other day a nice brother I know down in the Carolina’s talked
to his former pastor. And he said, “Bro. Vayle is not preaching two
gods.”

	He said, “He is, too, and I can show you his tape where he says
there’s two of them.” 

	I am quoting Bro. Branham. I ask you a question: how much does this guy
really believe this message? I felt in my spirit the day he was going to
go off, and he went off. Idolatry. 

	Now Jesus said to the Pharisees, “If you’d have known Moses, you
would have known me, for Moses spoke of me.” 

	I want to ask you a question. How many Israelites knew Moses, even
then? None. Everybody over twenty died. Now, remember; they were in the
wilderness for forty years. Right? So, every child that was twenty was
born separate from anything that came out of Egypt. Kind of makes you
think, doesn’t it? 

29.	So, here they are. Now, at this time of men forming their own forms
of idolatry, throwing their substance into the fire, let me tell you
flat: the devil will sure bring them gods of some type. 

	Now Moses stands there, and here’s my point: Who is on the Lord’s
side? Now, notice; they had to go back to Moses personally to be on the
Lord’s side. And who was Moses? A vindicated giver of the Word, and
that’s all. Never mind the stupendous miracles. Forget it. “Though I
speak with tongues of men and angels and prophesy, raise the dead, do
miracles…”—nothing without the Holy Ghost. And the Holy Ghost has
only one conduit, which is the Word, which He Himself brings. God brings
His Own raiment. 

30.	So, the living God is living within us in a portion. Well, that’s
good for a “Hallelujah.” I didn’t ask you to do it. I almost said
it for you, and I did say it for you. He said, “Who is on the Lord’s
side?” He stood in the gate. They had to come out. Christ also came
out without the gate, on the count of what? The miracles? Forget it! On
account of the Word. That’s why the foundation can no man lay than
which is laid which is Jesus Christ, the true fulfillment of the Word of
God as to His essentiality and also as to conduct and all those other
things that are intrinsically there. 

31.	So, all right. Who is on the Lord’s side today? Well, who is with
William Branham? 

	“Oh, oh, don’t say that.”

	Well, I just said it, and I’ll say it again. Who’s with Bro.
Branham? Who is with this man with the Pillar of Fire? Well, you want to
bat your eyes? Fine by me. Or do want you want. You can roll them in the
sawdust. You are going to get hurt, not me, because, if vindication
ain’t real, let me tell you something: the imaginations of the
wandering mind are far less real.

32.	Who is on the Lord’s side? They came to Moses in the Word. Now you
notice Moses had the Ten Commandments written by God. And he came down
and threw them upon the rock, and they burst. In other words, the Word
of God was in shambles while Moses was still living. And while Bro.
Branham still lived, the Word of God was in shambles even then, because
I think he said there are seventeen varieties preached here in Tucson
alone. How many varieties are there now, where men can’t even read the
Bible without even realizing they are reading their Bible this way,
“There is one mediator between God and man, the God Christ Jesus”? 

	Now Lee Vayle is between himself and Lee Vayle. Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh
boy, oh boy. You know something, the whole world is crazy, and I think
the Branhamites are the craziest of all because their craze has been
compounded. But yet, they saw something, so we give them credit there. 

33.	This leads to… “No, this is not the God of truth; this is not
the truth.”

	Then what is it? This is the liar and his lies. 

	“Oh, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that.” 

	Well, you wouldn’t. “He that is not with me is against me.” 

	“Oh, oh, oh, I wouldn’t say that….”

	Oh, you’re like the guy who said, “She’s a little bit
pregnant.” Not a dirty joke; that was actually said. Is there such a
thing as being a little bit pregnant? Is there such a thing as being a
white, black bird or drunk, sober person? Is there such a thing as being
on the Lord’s side but, oh, not quite. And ‘not quite, but really
is’? One word.

	You notice that Bro. Branham often used that statement, and it’s
found in the Book of Romans [Rom 2:4]. And Bro. Branham doesn’t quote
It exactly right, but It is exactly right when you get down to the
nitty-gritty. He said, “Let every man’s word be a
lie…”—speaking God—“but let mine be the truth.” The Bible
said, “Every man be a liar, but let God be true.” 

	“Well, see—umm…”

	And they start batting their eyes. Blinking. How much are you and I on
target by blinking and batting our eyeballs.

34.	So, all right. Let’s just check the Scripture out, about believing
the lie. We go to 2 Thessalonians 2, which is based on 2 Th 1:7-10.

(7)	…when the Lord Jesus (is) revealed from heaven with his mighty
angels, 

(8)	In (flames) of fire taking vengeance on those that know not God,
that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

(9)	Who shall be punished, (later on) with (this) everlasting
destruction,” (and so on.)

	And then, It says in chapter 2: 

(1)	Now we beseech you, brethren, by the (presence) of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and by our gathering together unto him.” 

	And Bro. Branham said, “That’s the message,” and that’s exactly
true. How did Israel get gathered to get out? By a message vindicated.
How did the Lutherans come out? By a message and the power of Almighty
God, without actual vindication as Paul had, but they couldn’t confute
what Luther said. 

(2)	That ye soon not be shaken,” [in mind, or be troubled, neither by
spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of the
LORD is at hand.]

(3)	Let no man deceive you; that day shall not come, except there (be) a
falling away first—the son of perdition, and the man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition;

(4)	Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing
himself that he is God. 

(5)	You remember that I was with you, I told you these things?

(6)	You (might) know what’s withholding [that he might be revealed in
his time.]. 

(7)	(It’s going to withhold until the Holy Spirit) is taken out of the
way. 

(8)	And then the Wicked (one shall) be revealed. (In other words,
he’ll come forth in his true colors and be absolutely manifested.) 

(9)	Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan (and) all power
and signs and lying wonders, 

(10)	And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
(That’s the worship of Cain.) because they receive not the love of the
truth, that they might be saved.

(11)	And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion—(an
anointing of the Holy Ghost with gifts and manifestation)—that they
should believe the lie. 

35.	And, what is the lie? Millions now living will never die? 

	And that’s as stupid as those who read the Bible and say ‘There is
one mediator’, and they think it, though they don’t say it, ‘the
God Christ Jesus’, because Oneness and Trinity do the same thing. They
don’t understand, but they say it. And God sends them the strong
delusion. See, they are all deluded. They cannot take it, and what is it
they believe? Millions now living will never die, though they read,
‘As it was in the days of Noah” where eight people got saved. 

	“Well, Bro. Vayle, that could really belong to the Jews.”

	One hundred forty-four thousand get saved. What? Are you trying to
stuff me? 

36.	Let me tell you something, brother/sister: the only reason I am in
this pulpit, and the only reason we are here today, is to attempt to
just commiserate, to share our knowledge, to build our selves up in the
most holy faith, to worship Almighty God, and get more and more prepared
to get out of here, because you better believe it’s all over but the
Resurrection and the Rapture. You better believe it, because they have
believed the lie: “Oh, you won’t die.” 

	They’re already dead. Twice dead, plucked up by the roots; roaring
out their shame, like the waves of the sea pounding on the seashore
ending in foam and debris and pollution that you couldn’t imagine,
even in the time of Jesus. How far has the world gone into its sin and
degradation? 

37.	Here we see 2 Thessalonians, which we read in the chilling results
that follow. They gather to the antichrist, to the devil, reject truth,
and believe the lie. They believe the lie against the Appearing, which
is the presence of God upon earth. They reject the truth of Rev 10:1-7.
They reject the truth of Rev 22:10. And they stagger about, hopeless in
their own foundation of unrighteousness. And there’s no way they will
bring it to the light.

38.	Let these chaff people of Laodicea tell you they believe in the
Bible as wholly the Word of God. And in themselves they do. But
according to truth, they honor God with their lips, and their hearts are
far from Him. They are spiritually overcome, so overcome that they
certainly stand with Isa 29:9-16: 

(9)	Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken,
but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

(10)	For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and
hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he
covered.

(11)	And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book
that is sealed.

	They can’t read them. Now, they’ll stand there and say, “This is
what It says in Timothy: There’s one mediator between God and man, the
man Christ Jesus.”

	You say to the Trinitarian, “Jesus is not God.” 

	“I beg to differ.”

	Now, come on. You’re not going to leave this building this morning as
though you didn’t hear something, and you didn’t get pinned down,
because you are pinned down. Tell me, can you read it: “There is one
mediator between God and a man,” if there is only one man or a
billion, “the man Christ Jesus,” who came exactly as we did, except,
what? Heirship equality with God, which we never had and never will
have: the vision of the kingdom—the Only-begotten, the One-of-a-kind
in whom God started His generations. We’ll get to that in a second, I
hope. 

	[They] can’t read; they can’t read that It says ‘man’.

39.	“Well, doesn’t really mean that.”

	Well, then, when you go down to the store tomorrow, sister, and you
order bananas, you should be prepared to get peaches. As Michener says,
“Once words lose their meaning, the nation is gone.” And so is the
Bible. Because, the people cannot read, “And, the book is delivered to
him that is not learned saying, read this I pray thee, and he says I’m
not learned. Wherefore, the Lord said, now watch, for as much as this
people draw near me with their mouths…” This is the Laodicean
condition: “wretched, miserable, blind and naked,” but oh, how they
draw near to God with their mouths. And the three biggest mouths are
tongues and interpretation and tongues and prophecy. And the
‘hallelujah glory’ bit. Hey, that’s fine if you really mean it.

	I’d sooner see some Hannah’s, who in their despair and leaning
toward God, yearning for God to fulfill His Word to them, mouthed her
words in silence to somebody who thought she was drunk. Oh, they thought
they were drunk at Pentecost. So, to me, there is a parallel there. 

40.	(13)	…and, with their lips do honor me, but have removed their
heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of
men: (Reverential fear and respect and worship towards God is taught
through the tenets and creeds and dogmas of men).

(14)	Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this
people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise
men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be
hid.

(15)	Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD,
and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who
knoweth us?

	And they’ll say, “Oh, you don’t want the real thing. You come
with us to the desert. You come to us with the secret room.”

41.	Let’s just go to the Book of Acts and find some sweet little thing
in here, in chapter 13, that’s going to make you open your eye.
We’ve read It at different times, and It says here, verse 37:

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

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

(39)	And by him (this man—not God—through this man is preached, and
by this man all things that…by Him) all that believe are justified
from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of
Moses. (Yet God gave the law.)

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

(41)	Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish.

	Vindicated Word: didn’t mean a thing. Just like the prostitutes
commit adultery, didn’t mean a thing, way of doing business, made
money; you know, golden calf scheme, idolatry, prostitution, golden calf
scheme. One of these days they’ll take this building; the sooner the
better. Be a good joke (Wouldn’t it?) on them. They’d have to keep
it up.

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

42. Now Jesus, the man, had already done His work. This is the Omega. So
now, as Bro. Branham said, “God was obligated to do for the Gentiles
what He did for the Jews,” in that, what God did in and through Jesus
Christ in the flesh, now that Jesus is risen from the dead by the Holy
Ghost, (which means no incarnation of God) He will now do for the
Gentiles. And He does it through the prophet Elijah. 

	You think they believe that? Why, they laugh and they laugh.

	They laughed at me for teaching the Presence because the word is
‘parousia’ in the Greek. So, I was hounded because of that, oh, it
isn’t right now they preach it. But you see it was Bro. Vayle’s
rotten spirit that made us turn. What made them turn again, then? I
don’t understand preachers. I don’t ask it either. 

42. All right. These people crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh
over the Word, not over the ministry of power. As Bro. Branham said,
“We have seen the Word of God demonstrated and manifested in power,
but not in revelation.” Oh, brother/sister, that’s what I want,
because the revelation says, beloved, “Behold we shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed in the moment at a twinkling of an eye at
the last trump.”

	Now, that’s going to be power to do, but it has nothing to do with
me. It has to do with the revelation I receive from God.

	“Truth forever crucified,” as the poet said, “Ever on the
scaffold.” Not the man, but the revelation. And they do it to their
own destruction, just like Eve did.

43.	Let’s go to Heb 2:14: “Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the
same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of
death, that is, the devil.”

	Now then, at the end time, in the omega, God, Who has guaranteed,
having come down here with the message and the shout, the voice to raise
the dead, and the trumpet to take us up, is going to raise the dead and
deliver us from death and bring to nothing the power of the enemy. 

	Now, who is doing all of this? The omega Gentiles of the alpha Jews are
the ones that are coming against the truth and the true God, even as
Jesus said in Jn 8:44-47, “You are of your father the devil, and the
works of your father you will do.”

44. And so, he said ‘at the end time, Elijah will come to restore,’
and it will be the same group of serpent seed now, and the Gentiles,
because that’s all they are, natural brute beasts to be taken and
destroyed. John the Baptist was rejected and denied his place and role
in the history of God’s people, and then, Jesus was rejected next.

	So, to reject the prophet is to reject God. They can say what they
want. 

	“So, William Branham wasn’t God.” 

	Who said he was God? He’s not God. He was conceived in sin and shaped
in iniquity, like everybody else; he came into the world speaking lies,
like everybody else. But to turn down that man at the end time,
they’ll just stand there and wonder, like a bunch of geese moving
around, or a bunch of turkeys. What are you going to do? 

	John the Baptist was rejected and denied his place and role in the
history of God’s people, and then, Jesus was rejected next. So today,
they are going to deny the very Lord that bought them. The Bible says
so. And as there were two seeds back in the alpha, there are still two
seeds of the same origin, make up, likeness, complexities, in the omega.
Each is a living seed. 

45.	Now we are going to start reading again, page 7 and paragraph 32. 

[32]	Now, we find that when God sowed His Seed in the Garden of Eden, we
find that it brought forth an Abel. 

	That’s exactly right. The seed of God did come through Adam into Eve
and brought forth that child, and the conception occurred in the Garden
of Eden. But it couldn’t stay there, because of the time element,
which destroyed the continuity and brought an interruption. Eve should
have born from the Tree of Life, Christ. Then through Him having taken
precedence as the Only-begotten, the Head One, the Chief, which He was
and is, no doubt about it, the others could have been born by the flesh,
and they would have been just like Mary. No problem. And you would’ve
had a tremendous civilization standing here, which was of God. 

46.	[32]	But Satan sewed his seed of discrepancy; it brought forth a
Cain. One brought forth a righteous one…God. The devil brought forth
an unrighteous one, because that Eve listened to the word of
discrepancy, contrary to the Word of God, (in other words, the Word
perverted) and it started the ball of sin rolling right there. And
it’s rolled ever since. And we’ll never get it all out until the
angels come, (And he uses that term ‘messengers’, too.) and
segregates the things, starting with Luther, remember. And God will take
His children to the Kingdom, and the tares will be burned.

[34]	Notice; their seeds grew together just exactly like God said over
here in chapter 13, of our text of Matthew: ‘let them grow
together.’ Now Cain went to the Land of Nod and found himself a wife
and married. And Abel was slain, and God raised up Seth to take his
place. And the generations started moving on.

	Now, remember; God said, “I have started my generations in you.”
That was the Son, the Only-begotten. Then He should have been the one to
come on earth in flesh to set up the kingdom, which would be propagated
by Adam and Eve because that was the promise, and that was the command.
And the generations started moving on between right and wrong—that’s
Adam and Cain, or call it Seth and Cain.

47.	[34]	Now we notice they gathered, (I think he means the word
‘united’ there.) each of them after time after time, until it got so
wicked that God had to destroy it. That’s when the sons of God went to
the daughters of men. 

[35]	But they finally… 

	Now ‘final’ is ‘an amen’. And if it’s ‘an amen’, it means
‘so let it be’. Then, if it’s ‘so let it be’, it’s got to be
the truth. Because God won’t let anything be, unless it is the truth,
for every plant must be uprooted that the Father hasn’t planted and
every word destroyed with its author that’s not of God. So, all right.

[35]	They finally came forth until both of those seeds that were sewn…
Now, remember; you are talking about what started in the Garden and
coming forth in humanity, finally came forth until both of those seeds,
the seed of discrepancy, (That’s Cain, by the beast.) and the Seed of
God, (which had come by Adam) put forth their genuine heads and wound up
in Judas Iscariot and in Jesus Christ. 

	Now, what does he call Jesus Christ? He calls him the Seed. So, He’s
the headship of all seeds. That’s why he is on the throne in the New
Jerusalem and the Pillar of Fire above it.

48. Now, that’s the Alpha back there. Now, remember; the bruised reed
He finished off, and the smoking flax He finished off, and He turned to
the Gentiles. And Israel will never come back to temple worship and the
blood of a red heifer and all that kind of stuff because Jesus himself
is going to stand there and say ‘Look at me. You did it. But it’s
all right. It was meant to be.’ 

49.	[35]	(Now, watch.) Judas Iscariot and the Christ. For he, Jesus, was
the Seed of God. Now, watch that terminology. Seed. Right? He was the
beginning of the creation of God. He sure was. Without Him nothing was
made that was made; God in Christ doing it. He was the beginning of the
creation of God. He was nothing less than God.

	Now, that’s Jesus-Only language. No it’s not. They did not
understand it. He was not saying that Jesus Christ was God. He said that
Jesus was the Son of God, and it came up into headship in Jesus and
Judas. And, who invaded Jesus? God did. Who invaded Jesus? God did. Who
invaded and took over Judas? The devil did. 

	This is not a Jesus-Only statement. Bro. Branham cannot legitimately
make Jesus-Only statements because Jesus-Only is a false doctrine.
They’re not even baptized correctly. So, I’m baptized correctly;
that doesn’t mean anything. Have you brought your doctrine to the
light—your evil to the light? See, incarnation is being told here. And
that seed, when matured, had to bear what? The source from which the
seed came, because without a source there isn’t any seed. Right?
Absolutely. 

50. Let’s go to our Bibles. If I can cover this one paragraph here we
are going to call it quits. And, then, will come back and do it all over
again—sort of. We go to Gen 1:11.

[11]	And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, (no herb, no seed), and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his
kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

	You can also take pieces of the branch of a tree with the life in it,
and you can plant it, and you will get apples, if you have an apple
tree. Yes. But you still have a fruit and in there be a seed. So,
there’s got to be a source for the seed, which is the conduit of the
life to propagate and have many trees planted by the river of life
(Right.) all coming from a seed which was given by a source, which is
God through Christ to us. 

	First man, God; second man, Jesus; third man, Adam. You can see
spiritual and natural foreknowledge, election, predestination in this
Word, and don’t you doubt it, though there be one lump. And remember;
Bro. Branham was hated more than anything in the world because of
predestination. And remember; the Catholic Church hates it. If you will
assuredly say I was predestinated, you are cursed. Oh, oh, big joke.
Popey old boy, curse all you want. You aren’t worth a nickel of
anybody’s time.

51. They are even going to look at the devil and say, “Goodness me,
that wasn’t the guy that caused all the trouble, was it?” “Oh, for
heavens sake. He ain’t nothing from nowhere.” 

	Like the little fly that causeth the apothecary’s ointment to stink.
That’s all it was, was a stink. He was nothing less than God. Not the
seed, but the coming up of the seed. 

	Now the source itself appears in the seed, fully identifying that God
is his Father, and the Father dwelleth in him, and the Father and the
son are one as pertaining to body, but two persons in the one. 

	“Oh, that could never be!”

	Then how come you claim you’ve got the Holy Ghost? You know, I just
don’t understand people. They’ve got to have their way. 

52.	[35]	And Judas Iscariot was born the son of perdition: came from
hell, returned to hell. Oh, come on, Judas Iscariot? Sure. The devil.
The Bible says the devil entered him. Jesus Christ was the Son of God,
the Word of God made manifest. What part of the Word of God made
manifest? The fullness of the Godhead bodily and all that pertaineth to
it. So, you don’t just have a man; you have the revelation. Judas
Iscariot in his discrepancy was the seed of the devil, came to the world
for deceit—just like he was at the beginning, Cain, his former
ancestor, or meaning his ancestral father. 

	What is going to happen at the end time? Thank God at the end time
“every seed and plant my heavenly Father hath not planted will be
rooted up.” And there will be a glorious Bride around the throne in
the New Jerusalem, and they’ll be the Lamb upon the throne, and
there’ll be God the Father and a Pillar of Fire, and before they call,
He answers. And Jesus is not ashamed to call us brethren because we all
have one Father, and the others bring their glory in from the outside. 

53.	It’s a wonderful thing that we see ahead of us today, and it’s
all been vindicated. You don’t have to say, “Is it going to
happen?” 

	It’s already as good as happened! It’s vindicated. Didn’t Bro.
Branham tell you when God said, “Let there be light,” I don’t care
if it’s a thousand years from that day, there has to be light? It has
to manifest because a seed’s been planted. A seed has been planted to
restore the Word, the complete Word of God restored in every one of us
to renew our minds and our hearts and get us ready for a rapture and the
dead come out of the ground, we get changed, and we all go up. It’s a
fait accompli. 

 	Brother Branham said you’ve got everything to put you in the
Rapture, and you are still looking around for something else? Well,
I’m waiting for him to come back and shake his hand—hug him. If it
is not in my lot, somebody is going to do it. 

	Let’s bow our heads in prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank you for Your
Word of promise and the paragraph we had today which is a good
paragraph—truly enlightening to see the things that we see and to see
the truth, Lord, that really see the seed having come up again, God
manifesting Himself now, not through the Son, but doing exactly what He
did through the Son, for the Gentiles proving the one and only true
living God and Jesus Christ who was sent risen from the dead and on the
Father’s throne.

	And we understand this, Lord, and we are grateful. And we pray,
heavenly Father, that You’ll keep illuminating our minds, so we
don’t go off, Lord, from the former doctrines in our fear of what Bro.
Branham says sounding so much like it isn’t exactly one hundred
percent with the doctrine that he actually taught, that there is one God
and this Son, and that’s exactly what Paul taught and the Bible says.
But because of our mixed up background, Lord, we still have our
problems. Help us to get over them in the holy name of Jesus Christ and
be bold and strong as of lions, Lord, and through the eagle of the hour,
but it all waiting for the final send off to the Wedding Supper. 

	We pray, Lord, You’ll bless Your people today and heal the sick
amongst us. May God be glorified. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come,
and restore all things.
