Seed of Discrepancy #8

Two Seeds, Sources and Tabernacles

March 5, 1995

	Heavenly Father, it gives us great rejoicing in our hearts to know we
can sing “Jesus is here” because we are children of the Promise,
which are contingent to the very faith and covenant of Jesus Christ
himself, as that One, Lord, Who covenanted with You, perhaps even before
there was a speck of stardust. I do not know. But I know that it was all
there even then, before he came forth, and when he came forth, and the
Covenant would have to come at some particular time. And we appreciate
that, knowing that we are a part of it, and will be standing in that
great day when he is in the midst of the Church singing praises unto
Thee, and we with him. And he is not ashamed to call us brethren,
because we are all of one source. Knowing that magnitude does not alter
the proposition anything whatsoever, as we compare the oceans with their
complete chemical balance one to another. It could be just a drop; it
could be a bucketful; it could be millions of tons: it would still be
that seawater, and therefore, be a part of it. 

	So Lord, whatever our part is… We could be a doorkeeper in the house
of the Lord, we could be just someone who shows mercy with cheerfulness,
someone who has learned to give a little bit, someone learned to fill
some little position for the glory of God and just take up our parts as
part of that Body. It’s wonderful to know that You are here and we are
part of it, and soon, it will all go on to that next phase, which is, of
course, another foundation being laid for a greater phase yet, and just
opening up under the Seven Seals, vista after vista, in a new measurable
way, in a glory, which will not only not pass away, but cannot be
fathomed. But, Lord, we believe it is ours, because we are a part of
that. We are the ones who believe, the ones who stand with this Truth,
Lord. And we know that that’s just the same as when the call came
forth “Who is on the Lord’s side?” and we answered and took our
step over with the Word, which we are certainly not ashamed, but glory
in It, because therein lies God. 

	And so, we know, Lord, we’re very happy with You, happy with Your
Word, and proud of You, and proud of Your Word, Lord. And we’re all
together, then, in this place just waiting to go on to what You told us.


	Help us in our studies this morning, Lord, to grasp more and more
Truth, as to its reality, finality, and ‘live, die, sink, or swim’
qualities. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

	You may be seated.

1.	Now we’re on number eight this morning. [“Seed of Discrepancy”]
And you remember yesterday, last night, what we were looking at is the
fact that this portion of Scripture that Bro. Branham took in Matthew
13, which is called a parable, actually has given rise to people
believing that God, in a Trinitarian form, a Trinitarian God, brought
man into this earth—and the woman. And somehow by virtue of the fact
that God in His infinite wisdom did not boo-boo, (or somehow something
happened that he did boo-boo, or the devil got in there somehow that,
where God wasn’t watching, or God was watching and just waited to see
what would happen) Satan takes over this race of people wherein two
children are born from the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve, and they are
called Cain and Abel. 

	And because of this act of disobedience, (whatever that act of
disobedience was: it doesn’t really matter) the penalty was exacted
that they had fallen into sin. And so, therefore, Cain, this beautiful
child of God from Adam and Eve, became a murderer. And this is a start
of the reprobation of the children of God, where these children can sin
away their lives until God can do nothing whatever with them, except
that they repent by somehow listening and coming to the Light. And they
are of such character, or they are so disposed, that they come into this
plan of salvation. 

2.	And this is really all this Scripture means to the people. They do
not have a clue to the fact that there are two kinds of seed from two
kinds of sources. They cannot believe that the devil could possibly have
children—that the devil possibly could be the progenitor of a group of
people that would be called serpent seed, or the seed of the devil. 

	It is not that way at all. It is a matter of man, in his rebellion…
And it is too bad he was made in such a way that he could be rebellious.
He rebelled to the place where, some even actually blaspheme the Holy
Ghost. Many got so far as to be fine Christians with outstanding gifts
and ministries, but like Jim Baker and some of these guys got so far off
from God they backslid, and now they’re on their way to hell. And
these are the things that the world believes. But the world is not
believing correctly. 

3.	The fact of the matter is that God has a Seed. Now a seed is not the
parent. The seed is not the life. The seed is a product of the life, and
bears the life so that more plants can come forward, perpetuating the
life of that original plant through these seeds, until God calls a halt,
if indeed, God does call a halt. 

	And so, like it or not, when God said to Eve that the serpent seed
would bruise the heel of Jesus, and Jesus would bruise that head, that
is not merely some figure of speech. That is an actual fact, because
Jesus was that predicated Seed who would do that. Now he was no more
predicated a seed than you or I are. And people can say anything they
want, but I can take you to Hebrews 2, which I’ve done many times, and
show you that in the midst of the church we sing praise unto God, and he
is not ashamed to call us brethren, because we are all of one source. 

4.	And it doesn’t mean that we’re anywhere near to be compared to
him. It doesn’t mean we’re going to shine like him. It doesn’t
mean we’re going to do anything like him. It just means we’re
brethren. And it could be like a whole household of very fine people,
where the man and the woman were really, really, fine, outstanding
people, Christians and all. And they had several children, and every
child was a genius, but one of them was a complete idiot. And so he was
going ‘bbbb-bbbb-bbbb’ all day long and all the rest of them are out
there, you know, they’re earning their degrees. They’ve become great
ministers; they’ve become great doctors; they’ve become great
teachers; they’ve become great merchants. And the one guy,
‘bbbb-bbbb-bbbb-bbbb-bbb’. 

	Well, I’m going to tell you, the ‘bbbb-bbbb-bbbb-bbbb-bbb’, he is
just as much a son as the guy with Ph.D. and L.L.D. and M.Bs, and
Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and CEO multiplied upon CEO.
That’s the way it is, and that’s the way it is with Jesus and us.
He’s the Only-begotten Son. And being that firstborn in whom God begot
His generations, his name on the check is the same as God’s on the
very ground that that’s how it’s set up, that the firstborn is an
equal shareholder with the father because this is the beginning of the
father’s stream. And you cannot—you cannot—change that, those
principles. 

5.	So, people don’t like to come to the point of the actual truth
that, if the woman had a seed, which was Jesus, who was literally
bruised in death, there had to be a seed from that serpent who did the
bruising. See, they want to put it into some little mysterious formula.
Well, there isn’t any mysterious formula! Cain was a child of the
devil. And he got so busy propagating, he had to have multiple wives. He
raised up all kinds of kids, literally taking over the world. 

	And when the time came, Jesus branded him as serpent seed and said
“One of you is the devil.” And how did that happen? It happened the
same way that Jesus became God. The devil himself—period,
personally—Satan, the created one who led in the worship, that was
kicked out of heaven having deceived at least a third of the angels,
(Yes, that one there.) literally went into Judas, whose ancestry went
all the way back to Cain, so that he was literally a living serpent in a
form that did not actually belong. 

6.	Now the mutation was not within the inner man. The mutation, or
change, was absolutely within the outer. Now you’ve got the same thing
with Jesus. Although he only took upon himself a part of flesh, (He
actually had to be created—a created sperm and egg—in which that
same life, that same one, that led in the worship of God, right there
with Satan, and at that time was formed into Michael.) here he is right
down here now. And he’s come to his full maturity—thirty years of
age. And Almighty God, Whose Seed this young man is, comes in and
indwells him.

	And Satan lifts up his heel, this serpent seed that is Judas, lifts up
his heel against the manifestor of God, who is the Son of God. And as
you look at him, this Son of God—because God is actually in him, you
are looking at God. 

	You say, “My goodness me.” 

	That’s why Bro. Branham could say, “You’re looking at me,
aren’t you? Same thing!” Now, you go ahead and look at Judas, and
you say to Judas: “Say Judas, “I just, um, a little puzzled about
this thing. Is it true that whosoever seeth you sees the devil?” 

	He said, “Absolutely. You’re looking at him.” 

7.	Now, what I’m trying to show you is: here’s two very religious
people. Jesus is very religious; he’s very spiritual; he’s got a
vindicated ministry. And right away, of course, a ministry follows under
Judas, the son of perdition ministry, which is not copycat. It’s
genuine ministry by the genuine Holy Spirit Himself doing it, but the
man himself is a phony. And he’s serpent seed, and he’s being
anointed, and he takes that. 

	And now today, you have the people that are lined up the same way. You
have a genuine manifestation of Almighty God speaking and doing through
William Branham. And then, you got these other guys come along, and they
look just the same. Why, they could all put on black hats, and they
could put on the black coats, and they could put on white shirts, and
black ties, and they could wear black suede slippers or whatever they
do, and they could put a ring upon their fingers. And they could go to
somebody, and he could carve all their features until every single
person looked alike. You’d be just looking at men. But what is inside?


8.	So, if Jesus were to appear on the scene today, Bro. Branham
categorically said—correctly said—“He would appear as a
businessman. A conservative businessman.” And if Judas appeared on the
scene, he would be a businessman. I think he’d be a Full Gospel
businessman, because he certainly should be full, and he should have a
lot of business going for him, because his father actually took over the
whole world. 

	He said, “I own all this,” and Jesus didn’t contradict him. And
you can’t contradict the church, that their physical condition is:
they’re rich, increased in goods, and don’t lack a thing. And pretty
soon, when the Roman Catholic Church takes over with her harlot
daughters, they’re going to be able to say with all truth, “We’re
rich, increased in goods, and we own everything. Now, if you want to
play along with us, you’ll find us the most wonderful people in the
world. We’re not here to harm anybody, but I want you to know one
thing: We don’t fool with anybody. Now either you come our way, or you
don’t come.” 

	Now this is a perfect picture of God. “If you don’t come this way,
you aren’t going to get in.” Now the big thing is that they lie
here, because they say, “Whosever will may come. Hey, all you got to
do is come.” 

	But when you come to Jesus side, the Bible says, “Blessed is the man
whom thou chooses, and causes to approach unto thy throne.” 

	See? The sheep hear the voice. And the only way they can ever come is
if they’re a part of Him. Because, you know, the voice for calling
sheep is different from calling hogs and dogs and any other animal.

9.	So, people simply don’t want to realize that we are looking at a
picture today of this world, that of one lump—and that’s Romans 9.
The seed lies in there in this one lump; it’s all mixed in, so that
those lives can be in any person to the extent as it was with Isaac and
his wife Rebecca when they, too, bore twins—same father, same
mother—and one was not of God. “Esau have I hated, and Jacob have I
loved.” 

	Now, of course, if you want to go the way some do, and say, “Esau
have I loved less,” you might throw him into the foolish virgin class.
But you know the thing is: It says he sought tearfully for repentance,
and he never ever got it. And so the foolish virgin, I would believe,
would be on that. I can’t explain it; I just let it ride. 

10.	So, our thought here that we’re really looking at, in this way
that Bro. Branham is bringing us, is he is bringing us actually a
message on the serpent seed which he preached back in 1958, with very
few notes, very few parts of Scripture that he explained, very little of
anything. And, of course, the sermon went out, and right away Bro.
Branham was launched upon a teaching ministry of revelatory doctrine,
correcting the errors wherein people did not have the answers, but now
they have the answers. 

11.	And this was all leading up to, “How can you tell whether you are
serpent seed or whether you are true child of God?” 

	And, of course, the answer came down (which we’ve looked at and no
doubt might…even in these notes, which I don’t know: it might be in
there.) that there’s only one way you can know if you are a child of
God in any respect whatsoever, is that you believe the Word that has
been set forth for your hour and, of course, in this day. This day
supersedes any other day, because this is the day when God sends the
prophet Elijah, if you care to and choose to believe that this is indeed
Elijah.

12.	Now, many people don’t believe it, and they don’t have any
problem in not believing it because, you see, they’re so sure that
they’re truly born again. And they’re so truly sure they’re born
again, having spoken in tongues and maybe prophesied a couple of times,
and some little thing happened—like opening the refrigerator door, and
they find something they didn’t expect there. It’s usually a bunch
of hocus-pocus junk that isn’t even fit to talk about. I mean, to
think about it, or to look at it, is so degrading to what’s inside of
us, that they call some kind of an evidence that if you had some
contents in your stomach, you would vomit. But that’s what they go by.
And they feel, “Well, I’ve certainly got something here, and if
there was an Elijah, God would show me.”

13.	And that makes me wonder why people think they’re so important
that “God would show me.” I’ve never ever thought that God would
show me anything. I’ve always figured that, if He did show me
something, it would sure be great, because I didn’t expect Him to show
me anything at all. My life has always been full of those surprises,
where God showed me or did something. I didn’t even know it was out
there to be found or experienced.                                       
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                           

14.	You talk about Elijah coming. I had read that Elijah was going to
come by these outfitters that believe in Elijah coming, and I didn’t
know where to place it, and I really cared less. It was so far from
anything I was interested in. I would leave it hanging out there, you
know, something like you take a piece of meat, and you’re going to
turn it into jerky. You just put it out there in the heat and the sun
and all, and it doesn’t matter if it’s six months from now or ten
years from now. What’s the difference? You’ve hung this thing out
here for a piece of jerky. 

	And that’s what I did with Elijah the prophet. I just hung him out. I
didn’t know the first thing about him, and, the fact of the matter is,
I didn’t really care. And I figured, if it was something pertinent,
someone would get a hold of it. God would work the thing out Himself
without me—or having anything to do with it, and that would be just
fine. In other words, there was no association of myself with these
things whatsoever. And the association only came from God doing the
associating, and these things coming to light.

15.	And that’s the way serpent seed was. I could not believe that
serpent seed was an actual violation of the sex act, whereby Eve became
pregnant by the serpent. That to me was most strange because there was a
commandment given to her; and the commandment, as far as I was
concerned, did not have any true basic meaning, other than it including
obedience and disobedience. So, she was prone to be disobedient: she
blew it. 

	And when Bro. Branham and I talked about this in either 1957-or-6 (I
forget.) we were out there kind of fishing. He was the fisherman; I
wasn’t. I just sat there and let him do the fishing. And he brought
this up. And he said, “What do you think?” 

	And I said, “Well, I don’t know,” I said, “As far as I’m
concerned, it’s an act of disobedience where she ate an apple, or she
just refused to do something; it’s the thing that got her off the
path.” 

	But he said, “Lee, there’s a seed involved.” 

16.	Now see, this is the whole crux. This is the whole crux. Are there
two kinds of seeds from two sources: one of which you can positively
identify with God, and the other you positively identify with the devil?
Now, according to the gospels, the identification is one hundred percent
complete. The identification of the Son: “He that has seen me has seen
the Father. Believest thou not that the Father in me doeth the works and
speaks these words.” There is one hundred percent identification. 

	There is one hundred percent indwelling of a temple—purely and truly
formed—over many thousands of years to come into being, which would be
the house or tabernacle of Almighty God, and another tabernacle for the
devil. And that is exactly true. And at the time of the end, when God is
going to tabernacle himself again in the Lamb, of which Bro. Branham
said, “When this spirit that’s in our midst becomes incarnate to us,
we’ll crown him King of Kings and Lord of Lords.” And at that time
the Son of man ministry—having been fulfilled—will now go completely
to “He that is looking at me is looking at God.”

17.	And at the same time, the devil (after the son of perdition
ministry, which is in full force at this time; this man will be the
home.) and the spirit that is now here, so close to the very Spirit of
God because he’s allowed these gifts and anointings, (And he stays
away from the Word.) he will incarnate himself in a pope, and likely
that pope will come out of America. They tell me they’re grooming one
for that now. And he will actually be able to say, “He that sees me
sees the devil.” But he’s not going to. He’s going to say, “He
that sees me sees God.” Because you see, he gets in very cleverly by
signs and wonders, which are actually lies. He cleans up the money
system. He works by flatteries, or in plain English: he works by
seduction, the same as it started in the beginning. So, here’s what
you see here.

18.	Now, last night I didn’t take some Scripture becau… And it had
to do with tracing through the actual serpent seed from the beginning to
the end, which is our day. And I mentioned, that at the time of Jesus
when he spoke to Israel, from being a chosen nation of God… Now,
remember; He said, “This Word that I give you is the only thing you
can take with you into the Millennium. And It is what you need. Now,
when you go there, do not let your eye pity nor your hand be stayed.
Make no alliances or covenants with any people within the land under any
condition. But slay utterly.”

	And the reason was, that the men, being sex mongers… And I’m not
being perhaps too nice there, but when you think of David and Solomon
and these gutsy, lusty guys, you know stinking well what happened is
they came out of Egypt and fell at Baal-peor, and then, with Moses gone,
they took all their clothes off; they got involved in illicit, rotten
orgies. You better believe that the men, looking at those women in that
land would say, “We’re going to take them to be our wives.” And
they did. And when they did, God could not do anything about bringing
His race back to any kind of purity. 

19.	And if we went to Mandel’s Law, we’re going to find that the
negative always supersedes the positive. I understand that’s to be
correct. So therefore, you’re going to find that in every generation
there will be an increase in serpent seed, and there will be a decrease
in the true children of God. That is why you had, at the time of Noah,
eight people made the Ark, and only one person was truly a human being.
And that has to do with the physical structure and that internal
structure. Now the others…his wife and the three boys—their external
structures were already mixed. They had the gene of God in the soul.
That was fine. They had a spirit that was allowed. But already, now,
they were not in a position to build an ark unto safety. Only Noah could
do it. And under his jurisdiction that ark of safety was built. 

	I’m not saying for one minute that Bro. Branham built any ark of
safety for us being just a human being, conceived in sin, shaped in
iniquity. But I’m going to tell you the Holy Spirit—in whom “there
is neither variableness, neither shadow of turning” [Jas
1:17]—completely, entirely God, was the one that used Bro. Branham.
So, all right.

20.	Way back there they blew it, until we come to John 8. Now they’re
mixed up with Babylonians; they’re mixed up with Hittites, Jebusites;
they’re mixed up with the daughters of kings that came from far
because they wanted to make alliances. And everything was a hodge-podge
of politics by sex. (Sounds like Bill Clinton, doesn’t it? Yes, it
certainly does.) Politics by sex and continuation of government by sex.
You want to keep your job, you better just keep keeping up your
extramarital, filthy affairs. Well, one of these days…

	So, over here, Jn 8:41-48:

(41)	You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not
born of fornication; we 	have one Father, even God.

	They understood serpent seed because, if you trace yourself back to
Abraham, you had it made because Abraham went right back to Adam; and
Adam is called the son of God, and you can’t change the Bible. The
actual son of God: the life of God is in him.

(42)	Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me:
for I proceeded forth 	and came from God; neither came I of myself, but
he sent me.

	Now he said, “Way back there I was that Only-begotten Son, and I
wouldn’t be here now, except God sent me. I don’t have any great
pleasure being here.”

(43) 	Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my
word.

	And they couldn’t. Every time they heard what he said, they heard
something different from what he was saying. 

21.	That’s the same way that you talk to these Pente…these—these
God-knows-what Branhamites. “There’s two of them: one is the Son of
God.” 

	“Oh! He just said there’s two gods!” 

	“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 

	I think Todd told me he went through his computer, and he found three
hundred and sixty-some times where it says Son of God, and there
wasn’t one time it said God the Son. Read it, three hundred sixty
times. [They can’t read! You understand what I’m saying? Every time
you say “horse,” they think “cow.” Every time you say “ginger
ale,” they think “Coca-Cola.” 

22.	You say, “Bro. Vayle, how can that be?” 

	I’m telling you how it is, and it’s here now! Sure to God you
can’t be that dumb and that gross. You can read it. Here it is. 

	“Oh, well, you’re saying two gods.” 

	I’m telling you what Bro. Branham said! 

	“Well, you’re not quoting him right.” 

	Here it is; I’m reading it. 

	“You’re taking it wrong.” 

	What are you going to do? Well, what you do, you bring up your puppy
dog. And you say, “Bowser, oh buddy buddy, here’s what Bro. Branham
says.” He says, “Arf!” “You know what he says?” “Arf!” He
doesn’t know. 

	What am I referring to? I’m going to read it here. They’re brute
beasts. They’re not just beasts; they’re brute. Ever heard a brutish
person? They’re the pit bulls and the rottweilers? They said,
“We’re not born of fornication. We’re not the children of Cain,
the serpent.” 

23.	(42) 	Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love
me: for I proceeded forth 	and came from God; neither came I of myself,
but he sent me.

(43) 	Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my
word. 

(44) 	Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye
will do. He was a murderer 	from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. 

	Now, that goes right back to Cain. Now Cain’s got to be the son of
somebody because Eve had him. And who did she say it was? “The serpent
seduced me and got me pregnant.” So, these are a part of the serpent
race. 

24.	(44)	. . .there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 

(45) 	And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

	Now, watch. You know what he said here? “And because I tell you the
truth, you believe not.” 

	Now, what if he’d have told them a lie? Happy, happy day. They’d
believed it all the way! Now, come on! Do you understand what I’m
saying? This is their condition; this is the condition of this hour:
“Tell them a lie! Hey, great! Hallelujah!” 

	Tell them the truth: “Ah, get out of here you filthy preacher. We
don’t believe that kind of junk. Vindication, shmindication. Why,
we’re the accepted Church of the Trinitarians. We have the Truth.” 

25.	The whole stinking bunch haven’t got enough brains to know what
the Catholics told them: “We invented water baptism in the name of
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and if you are baptized that way, you are
one of us.” Now they told them the truth. And the Protestants don’t
believe it. Tell them a lie: “Hip hip hooray! The sun shines today!”


	Now, look; sink this into your hearts. This is how things are. Not how
you would hope they are. Not how you want them to be. It’s spelled
I-N-S-A-N-I-T-Y. Period! Exclamation mark. Six times in a row.
Insanity.!!!!!! And entirely unsanitary.

26.	(45)	And because I tell you the truth, you don’t believe me.
(I’d just tell you a lie, and you’d be happy with me.) 

	(46) 	Which of you convinceth me of sin? (finds me wrong in one single
solitary word. Which of you can take me to the Bible and show that I’m
not a hundred percent with it? If I haven’t done everything I’m
supposed to do?) And (then) if I say the truth (based upon vindication),
why don’t you believe me?

	Now here’s what he said:

(47)	He that is of God heareth God’s words.

	Now, there’s the criterion. That’s the evidence. Now, there was a
time when you didn’t know what God’s words were. But, when William
Branham came on the scene, according to Deuteronomy 18, for you to deny
that, you are not only sick, sick, sick, you are worse than a child of
hell, and I wouldn’t even want to be in your shoes on Judgment Day.
You might miss hell by a million miles, only to come back a billion
years later and burn twenty trillion years longer than you should.

27.	Ooh, that was a good one. And you know why? Because Deuteronomy 18
is the key, that the people agreed to under oath. Then, you turn it
down?

	You say, “We lied. We changed our mind. That’s not what we want.”

	Just like the Jews have said: “Give us our sign.”

	He said, “I gave you your sign.”

	“Ha! We know Moses.”

	“If you’d have known Moses, you’d have known me, because he spoke
of me.” 

	There comes a prophet like unto him, and, ‘if you don’t hear him,
and I’m the one that’s talking, you’ll be cut off.’ And they
were cut off. 

28.	And if this people is not completely judged and are going to
judgment from the Tribulation to the Lake of Fire, then let me say this:
forget everything. Don’t even talk about vindication. Don’t even
talk about the Son of God. Don’t talk about anything. Just say,
“Well, look; sucker born every minute; a sucker dies every minute.”
We’re all suckers. Who knows? Que serah. 

	Then we say, “Well, if there is a God, what’s he finding fault
for?” But you take that back to Paul, and he said ‘when God could be
known, and his Word was known, there was a rejection.’ So, you’re
right back to vindication.

29.	You see why I preach vindication as strong as I do? This is one
reason why people come and say, “Bro. Vayle, I’ve sat under a
ministry for ten and fifteen years, and just learned what vindication
is, hearing you in one sermon.” 

	I can’t understand why a preacher preaches anything without referring
to vindication. Otherwise you’re preaching a bunch of hot air and a
bunch of gas, maybe based on the Word of Almighty God. But Bro. Branham
said a lot of this has been eaten by wiggle-tails. And that’s the
case: it’s rotten and maybe gone to gases. And so, the Lutherans are
way back there, and they’re getting nothing; the Wesleyans are getting
nothing; the Pentecostal’s getting nothing. It’s all dead; there’s
only one Message’s got Life, and this is this Message. And that’s
only because of vindication. You see? 

30.	So, he says here:

(47)	He that is of God heareth God’s words.

	Now, notice what John says in the epistle: “He that heareth us, is of
God.” So therefore, God has certain people that you will hear, or
forget it! And those people are mentioned at the end time. The prophet,
the wise man, the scribe. The prophet brings the word vindicated. The
scribes are the five-fold ministry that break it down and tell it to
you. Then there is simply the written Word. Now you can get a hold of
It, and enough to take you through. There’s nothing that is left to
chance. 

31.	But notice, everything is Word; prophet with the Word, he tells It.
The others break It down, and the rest is in a written form coming from
here. So, all of these are together. Now you’ve got a written Word;
now you’ve got the five-fold; now you’ve got the prophet that gave
It. Now we’ve got a beautiful Bible. And all you got to do is listen
to what the prophet of God said: the Elijah of this hour. 

	And any five-fold minister that doesn’t preach him, is not a true
five-fold minister, and he’s going to end up in the Lake of Fire with
the rest of them, unless he’s foolish virgin and…which I would very,
very, strangely doubt. 

32.	So, okay. Bro. Branham comes to the point here where he tells you
categorically that these seeds that started back in the Garden of Eden
(which was the Kingdom of God, God’s Kingdom on earth, God’s
headquarters—where the conception took place) brought forth Abel. Abel
was killed by Cain. And Cain was serpent seed. And the day came when
those seeds that came down generation after generation after generation,
which means there was a progenitor in whom was that life that required
some type of carrier or conduit. And that conduit was called a seed. And
in there that was life so that at the propitious time, with the
propitious element, under the propitious atmosphere and all, there would
come forth a plant from that seed. 

33.	So finally, the seed kept coming down, coming down, coming down
until there was a seed born of Mary, the virgin. And we don’t know the
genealogy of Judas. My goodness me, that shows that, not being in the
genealogy, he must have come from Cain. But his name was in a book.
Don’t worry. It was the Book of Life, because he’s a part of Israel.
Because they blew it way back there, and kept blowing it, marrying all
these strange women—all sex sex sex sex, miserable rotten sex. I just
can’t understand how that people’s minds go the way they do, but
they go. 

34.	And so, now we find Jesus said, “You’re looking at God,” and
Judas… He would never tip his handle saying, “You’re looking at
the devil.” So, when you get a confession at the end time that’s
vindicated, you are left in the dark concerning the man who will not
say, but is, and should be saying, “He that sees me, sees the
devil.” Nope! He’s going to sit in the Temple of God, and say,
“You’re looking at God.” But we’re too smart. By the wisdom that
God has given us, we know a hundred percent better. So, all right.

35.	Bro. Branham correctly said that “Judas only played church.” He
only played church. Well, what do you think the devil was doing back
there in the Garden of Eden? Even before that, he was merely playing at
it. Why was he playing at it? Because he had greater stakes in mind.
“I will ascend above the Most High. I’ll not be just like Him; I’m
going to take over.” He played church. He was a hypocrite—first rate
hypocrite—playing…played at it. 

36.	How many people today play at the William Branham ministry? I can
name you some. I don’t want them in my house. They come near me, I’d
say, “Get out and stay out.” In fact, if I was preaching again like
I used to be able to preach, and I saw this certain guy and his men come
in, I’d say, “What are you doing here? Ushers take them out.
You’re not interested in anything but trying to spoil this meeting,
and I’m on to you. So, get out. I’ll have you thrown out, and I’ll
call the cops if necessary.” 

	You say, “Bro. Vayle, would you do that?” 

	Oh, I just told I would, and I would. I won’t wait until my bluff is
called and have a donnybrook. We had our donnybrook after the service;
the damage was done. [Speaking of an earlier time when this happened
after Bro. Vayle preached.] We’ll have it before. 

	“So, what are you doing here?” You think this polygamist Jones,
these ‘two soul junk’ come in here, that I wouldn’t say,
“Deacons, take him out.” 

	“Well, Bro. Vayle, I want to confess my sins: I was wrong.” 

	I’m not God. Tell God. I wouldn’t trust him to get up and try to
confess his sin here. He’d put in something here to make everybody
think that he was okay. At least I figure that’s what he would do,
only to turn around and bite your heads off. Forget it. Hey look at it;
we’re too late in the day. Too late in the day.

37.	[36] 	So, Judas only played church. (A hypocrite. It was a game.) He
wasn’t really sincere, he didn’t actually have faith. (He’d have
never betrayed Jesus.) (That’s true.) He never had faith. As many as
were ordained to eternal life believed. Judas wasn’t ordained to
eternal life. He’s one of those written in the Book…spoken of. Not
his name written there for redemption, just spoken of. But, you see, he
sowed that seed of discrepancy.

	Now, notice that this man was himself a seed of discrepancy. How would
these Full Gospel businessman like Bro. Branham to say, You know,
you’re a bunch of discrepancies. You don’t measure up. You’re off
the course. You’re never going to make it. You’re lilting so far to
one side, when the time comes to turn, you fall off the road. That’s
like those gals in the high-heeled slippers trying to walk that narrow
line. They fall off. 

38.	I can’t understand why preachers wives (or other women) wouldn’t
have their feet taken care of by a doctor of some description so they
can never wear high heels again. You hear what I just said? Well, they
complain that, “Hey I got to do on account of my feet.” 

	Go and see a doctor. Or I’ll help you; I’ve got a good hammer, and
I’ll whop you one. Won’t cost you a nickel. Ah, see, I don’t
understand. Where do you get your excuses from? Where are men’s
excuses that they don’t stand with the Word?

	“Well, my job, my doctor, my friend, my this.”

	Oh shut up. Your what? You’re only talking about a saviour as a
make-believer. Just like this guy here. Now he didn’t run down Jesus,
not for one minute. No, no, no. He didn’t run him down. He just
didn’t really think about Jesus what he talked about Jesus. You see,
Judas sowed the seed of discrepancy. He was already a seed himself, so
that’s why he could do it. 

39.	[36]	… He thought he could make friends with the world, mammon,
and also friendship with Jesus, but it was too late for him to do
anything about it. When the dead hour came, when he did this evil thing,
he crossed the separating line between going forward and returning back.
He was shut off. He had to go on the way he went, as a deceiver. He
sowed the seed of discrepancy, tried to find favor with those great
organizations of that day, with the Pharisees and Saducees, and thought
he’d make himself a piece of money and would be popular among the
people. If that doesn’t cause so many people to get in that
discrepancy, trying to find favor with man! Let’s find favor with God,
not with man. But that’s what Judas did when his discrepancies headed
up in him—when the whole thing took over.

	And Bro. Branham’s warning the Full Gospel businessmen, that’s
going to happen with them. And it sure did, because they organized and
said, “We’re Trinitarians, and if you’re not a Trinitarian,
you’re out.” And yet the funny thing is: the Oneness were not
Trinitarian. They were speaking in as many tongues, having just as many
miracles, and just as much as anything else as the Trinitarians were.
But the Trinitarians: “We assuredly know there’s three.” 

	You assuredly don’t know there’s three. And I assuredly know
you’re an idolater. And I assuredly know that Oneness is no better.
But you’re going to hear the Oneness tell you, “Hey, we’re right.
Bro. Branham was Oneness.” 

40.	Bro. Branham was only Oneness as far as the Godhead was concerned.
He was not Oneness religion-wise. Because Miss Oneness could’ve been
married to him, and walked off. Miss Trinity dumped him in a hurry. See?
Never forget these things that happened in that man’s life. They’re
just as important as anything happened with Elijah and Elisha—and even
more so, in this hour. 

41.	[37]	(Now:) And we know that Jesus was the Word…

	 He certainly was. He became the full manifestation of what the Seed
was, and then God became the full manifestation of what God was within
the Seed. 

[38] 	If Judas was the seed of the enemy and the discrepancy, it also
become flesh and dwelt among us in the person of Judas Iscariot. Now
see, the world doesn’t believe that. But if you don’t believe that,
then you don’t believe the Book of Revelation where the Beast is
actually a man. Now, he never had any real, real faith. He had what he
thought was faith. There’s such a thing as having faith, and
make-believe faith (and that’s also love).

[39]	A genuine faith of God will believe in God, and God is the Word.

	 Now, that, of course, is a pretty good statement, but it is not good
enough for the simple reason: these people, in majority, do not turn
down any part of the Word, period. They say it’s in the Book, but
you’ve got it wrong, and we’ve got it right. So, Bro. Branham here
should’ve thrown in a heavy swath for vindication. 

42.	[39]	And a genuine faith of God will believe in God, and God is the
Word. It’ll never add nothing to It. See? What is the Word of God? Not
just this written, but revealed. Vindication. The Bible tells us if we
add one word, or take one word away, our part will be taken from the
Book of Life. (How would you know if there wasn’t something to help
you?) 

[40]	In the first beginning, in the first book of the Bible, God told
them not to break one Word of that: “every word must be kept;” they
must live by that Word. Jesus in the middle of the Book. See? That’s
in the middle, before the New Testament come between Malachi and
Matthew, he comes along and said that in his age, and said, “Man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth
of God.”

	 Now, that Word is a very simplistic Word. And you can take It and say
It sustains us: we build up our spiritual lives, (And that is true.) but
Paul also said all things were made by and consist, or are maintained,
by Him Who is the Word.

43.	So, therefore, you turn down this Word, which they’re doing at the
end time, do you realize the props are pulled on them, and they have
nowhere to stand? And that is why their bodies are decaying; their flesh
is decaying on their bones. And when the winds of adversity come, there
is no place to turn, simply because, brother/sister, to turn down the
Word of God in this age is not simply to turn down the vindicated Word,
but is to turn down the Word by which everything is maintained. And this
Word, now turned down, turns down God. God now takes His hand off. What
begins to happen? The Earth begins to rock and to reel, the sun begins
to shine as it never should shine, the moon turns into blood—or the
sun to blood, and the moon to darkness. Diseases come upon the Earth;
men and women begin to go insane. The women see these long-haired
scorpions, because they’ve cut their hair. 

44.	Now, imagine that. What’s that got to do with a little cutting of
the hair. 

	“Well, that’s okay to cut your hair, if you like bangs, cut them
off, you know. Well, what’s that got to do with it?” 

	Well, stick around for the scorpion fest. The German Oktoberfest where
you see two blue moons in the sky is going to be nothing like this one
when you get drunk on that spirit of cut hair. You know there’s a
spirit there? Tell me, why, when a woman turns on her husband in this
Message the first thing she does, she waltzes out, cuts her hair, and
puts on slacks? She’s drinking freely of the spirit of cut hair and
slacks. And how come women that don’t even do that begin to wear slit
skirts? What are you trying to show people? I want to know why women do
it. 

	Men don’t do it. And the funny thing is the men don’t tell their
wives, “Hey, not around me, kid; not around me.” 

45.	I think if a man divorced his wife for short hair, he has a better
reason to divorce her for showing those things she should not be
showing. Because short hair does not suggest sex. The actual fact of the
matter is: I’ve checked men every time I used to go any place in the
world even. I’d say, “Now you men, give me an honest answer. Is a
woman more sexually female with long hair or short?” Only one person
in all those years as a man said he liked a woman with short hair; she
was more sexual. And he got into the stupidest whoredoms, spiritually,
of any man I have ever heard in my life. I’ve never found a man yet
that didn’t say a woman was more female with long hair.

	So, if she cut off her hair, she’s not female, hardly. She’s my
girl Friday out there, you know, should be pitching manure or something.
But you slit the skirt… I just…I want to know some answers. I want
to know some answers. Why would a woman do that? She’s got a filthy
spirit. That’s the whole thing. Religious, but not spiritual. Husband
stands for it, shows he ain’t got a thing. You watch the next thing he
does: money, popularity, women. Most people never get too popular, but
it isn’t hard at all to get into debt, run up bills, and take someone
to the cleaners—just be a little smarter than they are. And women are
a dime a dozen. Phew! My God, have pity.

	People left the Word. See? 

46.	[40]	“…every word that comes out of the mouth of God.” And in
the closing age of Revelation 4 told to us, that “Whosoever shall take
one word out of the Book, or add one word to it, his part should be
taken from the Book of Life. 

	And what happened when Bro. Branham said, “Watch those high-heeled
slippers”? “Well you know, the doctor says I should have them.”
Doctor Jesus said you shouldn’t have them. Bro. Branham said, “Watch
those skirts.” “Well, I just don’t see. That’s you filthy
men.” Then Jesus is a filthy man. I don’t… You see, look folks;
the reasoning is not there. It’s the reasoning of the brute beast. And
the women represents the church. And the church has sold down her
husband right down the river.

47.	[41]	Therefore there can be nothing shadowy, just a genuine,
unadulterated Word of God! Now that’s what Bro. Branham says at the
end time. Why? Because the answers have been given, the questions have
been answered. That’s sons of God, daughters of God, who’s not
borned by the will of man, or by shaking a hand, or some form of
baptism; but borned in the Spirit of God, by the Holy Ghost, (In other
words, the rebirth and the baptism’s the same thing.) and the Word
manifesting Itself through them. That’s genuine Seed of God!

	Now, does he mean that there’s some sort of vindication there? Well,
the vindication has already been given. So therefore, to accept it as
your definitive passive faith—your doctrine—what you believe that
God has most assuredly said, even concerning of what he has most
assuredly done, and you receive that, that is your foundation upon which
to build the gold, the silver, precious jewels and stones. There’s
where your active faith can come in. And you’ll automatically feel
inclined and be inclined to do the right thing, though many times we
won’t do it. The desire to be out there doing those things is wrong. 

48.	So, where is the church’s heart, if it abides by a woman who slits
her skirt, puts them above the back of her knee or the front, (And
remember; the knee has two sides to four inches below.) or swings her
hips in a vulgar manner with her high heels? That’s the church. Where
is their birth? They can’t even do that. Of course, they will cover
that up by doing a few good works. And their good works are usually
selling tickets to some ping-pong game or some raffle or something. God
no more accepts that than nothing. It must be accepted from God what God
specifies, and how He gives it. 

49.	[41]	There can be nothing shadowy. It’s genuine, unadulterated
Word. The sons of God and daughters of God, who are born not by the will
of man.

	Now we can’t say that the will of man isn’t in there, because if a
man did not have a sexual desire for a woman, and she for him, the child
would not be born. But it’s telling you, it doesn’t come that way,
as though you can say, “Hey, we’re going to have a child of God. You
bet. We’re Christians, and we’re praying, and this one here is going
to be an elect child of God.” 

	Uh-uh. Uh-uh. That could be the worst little heathen the world ever
saw, because you figured you could do something. And I’ve read of
cases. I read a case just like it. This poor woman, she got pregnant
and, under the right conditions, the right spiritual thoughts, and
everything just ‘Hallelujah, glory to God’, and all during her
pregnancy she thought beautiful positive thoughts, everything about the
lovely child. The boy was born healthy, and he was hell, not on four
wheels, but fourteen wheels. He ended up a murderer. 

50.	“Not by the will of man.” No, no, no, no, no. Nope. It must be
by the will of God, where the human birth, the elect child of God, is a
far greater thing than a virgin birth, than Jesus himself coming. And
then, there comes the baptism with the Holy Ghost which is the watering
of the spirit by the Word that seals you right into God and, then, the
Word manifesting itself. Not as any evidence and sign, like “I’ve
got a lot of fruit.” That’s fine, but others have fruit that don’t
even know the first thing about Jesus; don’t know about being born
again. There are those that have a lot of gifts of the Spirit, and
they’re no more on the Word than nothing. They’re boasters and
high-rollers, and that’s about all there is to it. 

51.	So, he’s telling you here that there is a substance. And the
substance lies in the revealed Word, which, if you receive, proves that
you must have some relationship somewhere. And remember; Paul says that
that must continue. He said to the Galatians, “You believe; you’d
have given your eyes for me. Why did you stop believing?” 

	They were gone; they never believed in the first place; they were just
like Judas. They were make-believers. Listen, when you come to this
Message, you will stay with this Message. You will not get fumbled by
the fact that everything wasn’t over in 1977, because it wasn’t
meant to be. The books say so. It was merely a prediction. The events
were not in. The events are not in right now. But they’re coming very,
very close, because everything is on the exploding edge. Nobody knows
which way to turn. You think you’ve got a lick, the government comes
right along and takes everything you’ve got, and if you fuss with the
government, they’ll throw you in jail. They’ll throw you in jail for
standing up for your own rights. 

52.	This country’s no different from Canada, and Canada’s rotten.
Joe Raczkovy did not read his tax notice in time. His tax notice was one
hundred percent fallacious. Every authority admits it, but because
foolishly, he allowed it to go to court, the court now says, “We have
taken a wrong thing to court, which should have never have been in
court, and now you’re stuck.” 

	Do you realize that’s the case? And could jump from $20,000 to 90 to
$100,000. That’s Canada. And you see why I can’t stand Canada? God
have pity. And we’re just as rotten, or rottener. And I said, “The
only thing you can do is go and see your representative.” And if
it’s like the States he can call a congressional committee, and say
“I’m taking my case before Congress,” like we can say here before
the parliament, because we have the… Do you people know that you can
get a congressional committee and they’ve got to hear you? Oh no, you
haven’t been told that by anybody. Nobody’s going to tell you. You
know how I found out? Very smart cookie who did it. And he wiped their
noses with a grindstone. And he was elected chairman for life.

	And the smart pants senator said, “Well, Mr. ..?.., who do you know
that’s elected president for life?” 

	He said, “The pope.”

	Every book was closed: case dismissed. That’s America. Yuck! I feel
like God this morning: I want to vomit. That’s the only way I feel
like Him; I’m just going to be honest with you. I’m not at all in a
mood that I am spiritual-minded or… But I agree with Him, and I trust
more and more. 

53.	Now, let’s keep…a little further here. He said: 

[41]	And the Word manifesting itself through them: that’s genuine Seed
of God. 

	What Word? The Word that’s apportioned to you as an individual which
would manifest through you. And you have to read that all through the
Scriptures as to your activity. But you yourself will not promote one
thing that makes you believe that anything that God does by you is
vindication. It is simply fruitage from the Word that has been
vindicated. 

	And this is where Pentecost made its big mistake; they said, “We’re
vindicated.” And they listened to Paul Cain as fast as a horse can
trot, and I’ll face him to his face on it. Because at 25 years of age
he told me things he didn’t tell anybody else, and he said, “Lee,”
he said, “I can’t understand. I talk to you,” and he said, “You
talk to me, and you can explain me better than I can explain myself.” 

	I said, “Don’t worry about it.” I’ve talked to Bro. Branham. I
know some of the ropes.” Now you ought to read his book. Little
goody-two-shoes. Heh, heh, heh, heh. Goody-two-shoes my foot. Little
goody-stink-feet. No problem; a liar’s a liar. Trouble is, people that
lie usually use breath sweeteners. 

54.	Now he says here in paragraph 42:

[42]	The enemy joins churches and becomes very orthodox in a creed or
something. That’s discrepancy. 

	Now Bro. Branham stands there as a vindicated prophet. And he has
brought them the Word, and he’s already spoken on serpent seed and
proven it. And they sit right there, and they say, “Oh, come on
now.” 

55.	What happened was, the people of God drifted so far that God just
turned them loose as reprobates. And he likens them to hogs and to dogs,
and “All they got to do is come, and it’s no more ‘arf-arf’ and
‘oink-oink;’ it’s ‘baa-baa baa-baa.’” Find it in your Bible.
Find it. See, what happens the minute they turned down the Truth, they
go to reasoning. And if you’re with me… 

	And talking to a very fine man, I have no hopes he ever will see this
Message—though right away he saw serpent seed, began to see one God.
He can not come because he is trying to work from the thesis that God
made man in his image; so therefore, you look at man and you can work
back to God. Ha, ha, ha! He doesn’t put serpent seed together. Can’t
do it. Well, I likely won’t talk to him anymore. I said, “Doc, when
you got a number of days off, I’ll take the same number of days off
and we’ll talk, because this is going to come to time.” Because I
get very enthusiastic. Up here you know, I get enthusiastic, but you
turn me loose on some of these guys, and you’ll know what enthusiasm
is. Because he ain’t going to stop me on this Word for anything at
all. 

	If this Word was merely a word that I enjoyed, and it made me somebody,
or I could feel some…to be somebody, or I could crown somebody with
it, or in any way put myself in a position that I like, it could do it.
It could do it. But I believe this Word is life, from whatever said to
me, “If you ever listen to a man, that’s the man you will listen
to.” And I’ve been listening ever since. 

56.	[42] “The enemy joins the church…” That’s Satan coming as an
angel of light with his people, “and they become very orthodox in
their creed,” which means they go right along with what seems to be
the proper tenure or the main theses of the Word of God, which, if you
have, you are on the right trail, and, if it is necessary, God in His
grace and mercy will make a way to fill in what you don’t have. So,
“Hallelujah! Everybody’s going to make it. Millions now living will
never die.” 

	Now here we tell you flat: you come right along on this teaching word
by word, and down here a ways you’ll begin to disagree, you take that
Word out, and I tell you this flat: you are lost—at this
point!...unless the Word corrects the error, and you had to learn a
lesson and wander a little while until God slapped you around a bit. But
there’s nothing going to go on in this church that says, ‘Hey, you
can believe in our orthodoxy, that William Branham was a vindicated
prophet, and then turn around and say, “Well, I believe the Presence,
but so what? He’s always been here.”’ 

	The Pillar of Fire’s been here for two-thousand years to lead us to
the Millennium? Hogwash! We’ve got to be lead out first. We got to be
Word-and-child-trained first. We’ve got to be prepared—made ready. 

	“I got the Blood, hallelujah, and Jesus stands here.” 

	I don’t care if you got the Blood and He stands there; He said,
“You don’t make it, unless I send Elijah. You think they believe
that? Come on! Except I said…

57.	[Blank spot on tape]

	Well, I had to mention his name somehow. He’s not my nemesis, but
I’m going to tell you one thing, if he preaches the truth, I don’t
want to even listen it. How I made a mistake when I threw away one of
his tapes where he preached the biggest bunch of gas you’ve ever heard
in your life, about some idiot kid kicked by a horse had a
vision…hallucination, and he put it right alongside with Bro.
Branham’s. Just do that once around me, brother, you’re finished. If
I’d have known a certain guy that said he had a vision seventeen years
ago, I’d have kicked him out of my door. I’d said, “Never come
back.” 

	You say, “Bro. Vayle, you’re mean.” 

	Who are you to tell me I’m mean? You want to get sucked in and be a
patsy. Yeah, be my guest; I ain’t going to hurt you. I’ll even give
you a trip to Florida, and make you feel good for awhile. You’re going
to need it. Live, die, brother/sister, is one word off. I’d go back
many many years, and I don’t know any single thing that I used to put
my finger on, and call it God. Tragic, but I believe I had the devil do
things to me—tremendous things. Everybody thought it was great, and I
thought it was better than ever. 

58.	You say, “What about now?” Forget it. Get it out of my way;
I’ve met the prophet. And in meeting the prophet, I saw God. I
wasn’t looking at a man. I was looking at God. 

	“Oh! You blaspheme!”

	Well, fine. That blaspheme? What are you doing? Oh, you just…fine. 

	I—you know I’m not hitting here, as a people. This goes out around
the country, and I don’t mind laying it on at all for fifteen minutes,
because it’ll go all over Europe and every place else. 

59.	[42] “The enemy,” the enemy “joins the church.” Who was the
enemy in Eden? The lovely beautiful seducer, the handsome man called
s—the serpent. Yeah, just enough wiggle in his waggle as he came on
his two feet, and his extended hands to embrace Eve. Oh, he was sharp. 

	“Why, this is my friend,” she said. 

	He said, “Indeed I am. And such a friend I am.” 

	He was her enemy. The world is the enemy of the church. The enemy joins
the church and becomes very orthodox in its creed. Takes it right up,
goes right along, looks very good, wonderful Christians. 

60.	[42] “That’s discrepancy. Anything that interferes with the
strain of genuine Truth of the Word of God.” In other words, anything
that changes it—any way, shape or form, even as per illustration—is
to be reckoned with by God; and every plant the Father has not planted,
and every Word He hasn’t put in a certain place, and you misplace It,
that Word goes against you; It’s no longer for you. 

	Now, notice; there is not only a perverted word, but perverted
experience instead of rebirth, because the genuine Truth has been set
aside, and we are to be born again of the Truth. And at the end time you
are literally reborn after being reborn. Now I’m using words here on
purpose. And I shall read to you: It says: [2 Thessalonians 2]

(7)	For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now
letteth will let, until he 	be taken out of the way (That’s the Holy
Ghost.)

(8) 	And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume
with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
his coming: (That’s the end of the Millennium.) 

(9) 	Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan (seduction,
fooling; you know, hypocrite; everything) with all power and signs and
lying wonders.

	He’s going to slip some lying wonders in there. Because he’s
anointed to do these great things; very charismatic. 

(10) 	And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness (getting you into
an act of worship, apart from the revealed Word of God; and they who are
perishing will do it) because they received not the love of the truth,
that they might be saved.

	They turned down the God of Truth. They could’ve been born of Truth.
That is sealed-in by truth: perfectly one and harmonious with God by the
revealed Truth. They turned It down. They had no love for it. 

61.	Bro. Branham said, “How can you not help love each other, you that
love this Word.” Because you don’t know any other kind of love. You
got no kitchy-kitchy gooey-gooey “let’s play in the dark” kind of
love—soul-mating crap and all this stuff they’re trying to teach
around the country now. Oh yeah, they’re teaching it. They love to get
all you women and you all men all mixed up through having illicit
intercourse and everything else. Go on, you want to do it—blow it.
Ain’t going to catch me. I got the answers; I’ve been through this
many many years. Not eighty years for nothing. Fought this kind of stuff
since I was thirty-five years of age. Forty-five solid years. Not
interested in their crap, their abominable lies that are so horrible. 

	Now, these guys don’t love it. Why? Because it goes against what they
do love. Immoral bunch of hounds. See? 

62.	(11) 	And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that
they should believe a (the) lie:

(12) 	That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.

	They went their own way anyway, to worship and to serve God, and say,
“We are it: the Bride and the church”, when every evidence was
against them supernaturally. They pulled a bluff. And a lot of
Branhamites are getting bluffs pulled on them right now. Listen to
preachers? They’re so half-baked and so stupid, my God, even an idiot
wouldn’t listen.

63.	Watch:

(13) 	But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren
beloved of the Lord, (“Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated.”)
because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through
sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. 

	“I’ve been sanctified by the Spirit, Bro. Vayle. I’m full of the
Holy Ghost.” 

	And turned this Word down? Come on! Come on! These guys are liars from
the pit of hell; the truth isn’t in them. Don’t think you got to
shake their hands and say nice things. Get back to the First Church Age,
and say, “You’re a bunch of false apostles! Get out of here!” 

	“What do you mean, we’re false apostles?”

	“You’re not saying what Paul said. Out!”

	“Well, boy, that’s some kind of Christianity. If you’d have any
Christianity, you’d bring us in here, and, you know, you’d let us,
you know…” 

	Ha, we’d let you all right. We’d let you out the back door, if you
came in the front door. Hand them a bunch of snakes and see if they can
handle them. 

64.	And Paul says this:

(14)	Whereunto he called you by our gospel… 

	So, if the gospel of Paul doesn’t come back at the end time, ain’t
one of us getting out of here. Not one of us isn’t going to get
fooled. And yet, they’ll sit around and say, “Naw, we’re not
fooled. That Branham was a nut. ‘Millions now living will never
die.’” 

	I hear there’s a guy out west saying… “Well,” he said, “Look
here”, he said, “There’s only two people over twenty years of age
that got into the Millennium—Caleb and Joshua.” And he said, “I
believe God’s ordained me to have many, many churches and be the
sovereign bishop over the whole bunch, and we’ll bring two-million
people into the Millennium.” 

	When them saints go marching in [Bro. Vayle says in a singsong voice].
You better believe I ain’t going with them because my leader is not
Foxy Loxy. And I do not associate with Henny Penny or Ducky Lucky or
Turkey Lurkey. I’m with the eagles. I said ‘eagle’, not
‘beagle’. I’m with the eagles. 

65.	Now It says:

(14) 	…to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

	To the obtaining of his assessment. Oh God, what a thing! And they
throw it away. They throw it away because they throw this Message away.
They throw away the vindication. People sitting in this church here try
to come against vindication, end up in a black hole. 

	That’s all right by me. I’m not interested. I ain’t going down no
hole. I can’t find any scriptures on black holes. And, of course, if
you’re truly scientific, that’s okay, but the Bible, you know,
mentioned those as sophists. I always called them pseudo-scientists.

66.	Yes, he said:

[42]	…That’s discrepancy, anything that interferes with that strain
of genuine Truth of God’s 	Word.

	Anything that interferes—interferes with anything Bro. Branham said,
is one hundred percent against the Word of God; there’s no hope for
them; they believe ‘The Lie’. And you watch: there’ll be more and
more and more lies as time goes on.

[43]	 “And how do we know?” We say, “Well, they, you’ve got a
right to interpret It?” No sir! No man has a right to interpret
God’s Word. He’s His Own interpreter. He promises It, then He does
It. That’s the interpretation thereof. When He promised It, then He
fulfills It, and that’s the interpretation of It. Anything contrary to
the Word of God is a discrepancy! Absolutely!

	Now, remember; this applies in perfection to the great periods of
junctures. And starting with the reformers, it came to this hour, where
God Himself came down and brought us the Word, being His Own
interpreter, using a prophet. And proving It, He was one hundred percent
by the method He set forth in Deuteronomy 18, and the people do not want
it. See? 

67.	Now, this is a great question about this right in here. Has God been
interpreting His Own Word? What about the other ages? Bro. Branham
categorically said—and it sounded awfully weak, but it’s still the
truth—he said, “Don’t worry what went on in between. They had the
reformers, they had men in there, they had that bit of Light.” And
that was exactly right, because the Bible says, “Spare that oil and
spare that wine.” Don’t you let it go. Don’t you let it go.
There’s that little bit of grain, that little bit of oil, that little
bit of wine.

	And remember; he categorically said, “The bruised reed He won’t
break, they smoking flax He will not quench.” That little bit was in
there, going on and going on. And all through the ages you heard of
tongues, interpretation; you heard his few miracles; you heard of
prophecies; you heard God doing things. You cannot pick up the books on
church history and not find those things there. And the Pentecostals
have used them time and time again to show it always was the evidence of
the baptism with the Holy Ghost, when it wasn’t.

68.	God’s Christians have always been there, but there came the time
of Luther. And when he came, the Light begin to break. Under Wesley, it
became further. Until now at the end time, the Word of God Itself, the
Seven Seals, the Seven Thunders, the whole thing came into being, and
has now joined time and eternity so that, literally, we’re before the
White Throne, and there is no stopping us. As Peter said, or as Paul
said, it goes right on to the dissolution of the earth and to the New
Heavens and the New Earth: the New Jerusalem. And there’s nothing
going to stop it. 

	Now He’s a little slow, according to people, in doing it. That’s
His business. Don’t get tired. Just say, “Well, maybe I’m going to
be on the earth a while. That’s okay by Almighty God; it’s fine by
me. But I know this is going on now because it’s vindicated.” 

	You see, the devil wants to take us away from vindication. He simply
doesn’t want us to believe that what started is going on now: that
we’re being changed; we’re being transformed; that it is a ministry,
not something what people think it is. 

69.	Well, all right. We’ve more than had time here covering this,
we’ve made it all the way to page nine. That’s a marvelous
situation. We’ll see how we can recap this for the next time, and go
on. And in there again, we’re going to see more and more of the seed
of discrepancy, going to see the serpent seed brought out, going to see
the people nailed right down as to what they are. 

	The acid test is given right before them, “Which group are you
with?” 

	And you know what they’re going to do? They’re going to say, “Who
are you to talk to us? Bless God. You ain’t telling us nothing.
We’re the children of God. Millions now living won’t die. And when
you’re gone (And you’re gone now.) and we’re still here, and you
watch us go marching in… You watch us, bless God. You watch us.” 

70.	They crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and they all die
in the wrath of God. But that’s the Bible. That’s the vindication.
That’s not something I made up. Bro. Branham said, “They’re fodder
for the cannon”—the atomic bomb. Peter said, “They’re brute
beasts.” I didn’t say it, Peter did. But I believe having the same
Holy Spirit Peter had, I agree one hundred percent. 

	I look around and say, “My Lord, it couldn’t be different if it
tried.” These aren’t human. These are not human. They’re like
zombies. They’ve gone into a pit and come back transformed as the wild
beasts of hell. No conscience. “How’d you feel when you killed that
person?” “What’s to feel?” Starting with Leopold and Loeb, when
they killed those college boys in New York [Chicago] way back in the
twenties [1924]: killed that one little boy fourteen years of age. They
wanted to find out how it felt to kill somebody. Couple of nice Jew-boy
serpent seed. Now we’ve got the Gentiles doing it over and over and
over and over and over. Why did My Lai take place over there in Vietnam?
Why’d the Canadians laugh when they killed that one young fellow?
Wasn’t it in Somali. Big joke. The pride, the elite of Canada.
Intelligent soldiers; brute beasts, the dogs of Nimrod. Well, I hope we
get out of here. It’s a little bit scary. But that’s the way it is. 

	Let’s rise and be dismissed.

	Gracious Father, we thank you for the times of fellowship we have
together around the Word of a prophet that laid this out so crystal
clear, Lord, that even crystal looks darkened. For this is not something
that is taking a light and reflecting it: this is the Light itself. And
it’s now flowing into vessels, which are lightening the mind and the
heart, the soul, and coming forth changed people, because this is all
they can think; this is all they know; this is all they will react to;
this is where their life is. This is the revealed Word. This is God in
His Word. 

	And we are not embarrassed. We do not find it hard to go to those
things that others would find extremely hard even in the day of Jesus
and try some type of repudiation. How can there be a repudiation against
the truth of the vindicated Word of God which has now sanctified us, and
taken us completely away from the lie. We shall not die, but live; shall
not sink, but swim. Because we know that we’re on the Lord’s side,
because we’ve come over to the Word. 

	You are our Shepherd, Lord; you make us to lie down in the green
pastures, lead us beside still waters. You’re the One that gives us
quietness, takes us through tribulations, problems and sorrows, leads us
in paths of righteousness, keeps us hemmed in by Thy goodness and mercy.
Truly Lord, we’re like the trees planted by the water. The day of
adversary, Lord—adversity, we shall not faint or fail, but we shall
stand as the sheep with the shepherd of the flock, hidden in the crest
of the rock, signing praises unto our God.

	We sing praise unto you this morning, Lord. We’re grateful for your
love and care. We ask now, Lord, that this message actually heal the
sick amongst us. We can see this message is not to any serpent seed. It
is not to anybody out there, Lord, that is not part and parcel of that
which they have turned away from the Word of God and perverted It,
wherein, Lord, if we have this perfect Word, then Its perfect
integration… ‘Perfect integration’ means ‘healing’;
‘healing’ means ‘better bodies’. We’re asking for it now in
the name of Jesus Christ that You grant this to us, give it to us
thoroughly. We appreciate it. We’re always grateful for anything you
do for us, Lord—tremendously happy. 

	And we look, Lord, for whatever You want to do in the future. May we
see it in the Word as the prophet brought it. May we be completely privy
to it and a part of it—whatever, Lord, You want; whatever you have for
us, we want to be part and parcel of it, even as Jesus was. And we are
guaranteed to be the same as we’re all standing before our heavenly
Father, and rejoicing in Him, Who is Word, and we also the same.

	So, we commend ourselves to You this morning and thank You for Your
great mercy and care. We pray for those who are going back home today,
and we know they have a long way to drive. We pray the journey will not
be to hard, especially on the children, that somehow they’ll sleep and
feel real good, and everybody will be wide awake and happy with the
presence of the Word of the Lord, with God’s Word coming forth as life
and meat and drink unto them, Father, and a joy, a privilege, a real
purpose, and that’s the purpose that I know they came for.

	And unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only-wise God, be
all power, honor and glory through Jesus Christ, our blessed Lord. Amen.

	“Take the Name of Jesus with You.”
