Spoken Word Is the Original Seed #10 Book 2 Parable of Sower/Seed Explained One Lump—Two Seeds July 3, 1993 Shall we pray. Heavenly Father, we realize in singing this song now that You’re here, You who came back to us, Lord, here in the form of the Holy Spirit dwelling amongst us, as Bro. Branham said, “When Your son and daughter fell in the Garden of Eden You could not trust the cherubim, You could not trust an archangel, or any messenger, but You Yourself came down and so in this hour.” And as the same when Moses went down to Egypt, and You appeared there in signs and wonders, not only in signs and wonders but, also, You were seeing Yourself in a Pillar of Fire upon Mount Sinai, so today, we have the pictures. Brother Branham also said, “Just think the same Pillar of Fire that gave the Word to Paul is here revealing It.” We know that, Lord, and we’re looking back on those days of ancient times of Israel, how that, when You stood there, You were manifested in human flesh, and You were there and people, some ignored It completely, and some fought It completely, calling It of the devil. And some thought they knew and yet they did not know, having heard John the Baptist, and yet could not turn to You, where they were still following John the Baptist. And so today, Lord, we have the same confusion, but there has to be a little group who knows You’re here, who knows You, understands why You were here, the relationship, and worships You correctly in spirit and in truth, and the dead will not be made perfect without us at this time, for perfection has come, and there will be a people transformed, standing on this earth with that great mystery fulfilled with the last trump, for the trumpet shall sound. And we know it, actually, there has been a sounding trumpet already in the sense of the messenger trumpeting forth a great Word which is a message today and one day the same One will call the dead out of the ground, and then call us all to the Wedding Supper. And, Lord, we want to be in that number that is fully aware of the reality that we might be a part of it, Lord, and not be found wanting, and even the more, condemned in the face of this great reality of this hour when You Yourself have come forth with a Book of Redemption in Your hand, come down here upon earth, brought forth the Word through a prophet just exactly as It is supposed to be. And Father, we pray to You tonight, we’ll we exactly as we ought to be. Help us in our studies to be sincere and right and not in any way, Lord, be carried away in our own emotions when we might be very vociferous, very loud, very anything, Lord, but may it be complete truth without a variance, one way or the other, and in everything corrected and going down that straight and narrow path to come to that place, Lord, where we know it’s in the Word and by grace we believe we’re a part of it, Father. So bless us all tonight as a unified body, a unified membership in Thee, Lord, looking to You with one hope and waiting, Lord, for the Voice to call forth the dead and our change to go to the Wedding Supper. We give You glory in Jesus’ Name. Amen. You may be seated. 1. Now, we’re in number 10 tonight of this series of the second message of Bro. Branham, and we must constantly remember that the two messages on the “Spoken Word Is the Original Seed” and “End-Time Seed Sign” are three messages that thoroughly explain and detail the parable of the sowers and their seeds in Matthew 13. And when you view Matthew 13, you’re actually going back to the very beginning in the Book of Genesis because the parable of the sowers and their seeds, absolutely, set forth from the lips of Jesus, the exact truth of humanity as it is known. So, keep that in mind. We must constantly remember that the two messages on the “Spoken Word Is Original Seed” (We’re in number 2 now.) and “End-Time Seed Sign”, in Tifton, Georgia, are three messages that thoroughly explain and detail the parable of the sowers and their seeds in Matthew 13: two sowers, two seeds. 2. This parable is the ‘alpha and omega’ seed time harvest—seed time and harvest of mankind. So it goes back to the very beginning and takes you right to the very end, because a seed is sown and a seed is gathered in the garner. Now, let’s face it. It doesn’t much matter about the garner when it comes to the true seed, the true Word-seed that was sown. You can rest assured that it’s going to be more than wonderful, that eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor entereth into the heart of man the things that God hath prepared for those that love Him. And remember; the only ones that love Him are those who have seen that God has manifested Himself and delivered them. The rest of them do not have it. There is no way, we brought that to you in the Word and showed you that absolutely. All right. 3. We don’t need to worry about what is coming hereafter because we can trust God implicitly. And even with the revelation we really don’t know what is coming. There’s nobody here knows what it is to have a glorified body, which glorified body Bro. Branham said, “You’ll travel with the speed of thought.” You can’t even visualize it. Raise your hand. That’s maybe one thousandth fast as what you can go, ten thousand miles. I don’t know. Where does man’s thinking come in? It doesn’t. If you’re not smart enough to have a think now, you’re not smart enough to have a think then, because who instructed the Lord? Who gave Him His ideas? Then, when He gets His ideas, who fulfills them? How do they get done? See, you have to leave all… You leave all things with the Lord. 4. Now, the parable of the sower and the seeds is a parable of the ‘alpha and omega’ in its utmost simplicity: two sowers and two seeds. That there are two different seeds from two different sources cannot be denied without making Jesus a liar and, consequently, the whole Bible a pack of lies. Why? Because we’re dealing evidently with two types of sowings which has to do with mankind: the whole history: planting, sowing. See? That these two seeds are indistinguishable as far as human conception and human form—and even human traits—are concerned cannot be denied according to the Scripture, yet they are different, or one differs from the other as to its source. 5. Now, you’re going to say, “Just a minute.” Those fellows that went out there recognized the tares.” Have you ever heard the Scripture that says, “The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them which are His,” [2 Tim 2:19] and nobody else does. Have you ever heard Bro. Branham say, “You can’t tell them apart, except for a certain, little trick?” Haven’t you ever heard Paul say, “There’s only one lump.” Whatever you are is a matter of predestination according to the seed. So, this may sound like that I’m not telling you according to that parable. But I am because that parable is only telling you how those two seeds came in and where those two seeds are going. See? All right. 6. All these points have been thoroughly covered and are known by all understanding students of the Word. The great mystery that confounds all but the very elect is not that there are two different seeds, but that there are two different sources of those seeds. And how did they get to be the two seeds from the Genesis account of where you see only God bringing forth Adam and Eve? So therefore, naturally they say everything came from Adam and Eve. How could it be? There’s only one source. Some trickery, some knavery came in here. And what you’re looking at, is not two actually different seeds, or two races. What you’re looking at is one race but being free moral agents, man molded himself into a child of God with the help of God, or molded himself into a serpent seed with the help of the devil. Ha! They’ve never read the Book of Romans that defies it, where God prepared the vessels. 7. The Bible says, “God formed and prepared.” When It talks about the others, It talks about them doing it themselves. Want to go over in the Book of Romans and find that out. It’s Rom 9:22. (22) What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: (23) …that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared… God evidently didn’t do preparing in one instance. Then, who did the preparing? All right. 8. Here is what Bro. Branham has constantly dealt with and proves that his stand is one hundred percent Scriptural by vindication, and by vindication only. For ‘vindication’ means that ‘God is revealing His Word’; He’s either bringing It or revealing It. Number one: the seed of God came from the life of God Himself, and was ordained to be perpetuated by Adam through Eve. Not even Adam ‘and’ Eve, as though Eve was equal. Not so. She was not in the original. And if you want to read over here in 1 Cor 11:7. (7) For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, (let his hair grow long without cutting it) forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: (Yes, he is.) but the woman is the glory of the man. (8) For the man is not of the woman; but the woman (is) of the man. (9) Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. Not fussing at women and make them inferior, just letting you know you’re dealing with life. The life of God; how it’s transmitted. Male and female was only for sex and reproduction. But the life was of God, because God breathed into Adam the breath of lives and man became a living soul and that was the Holy Ghost. So therefore, Adam got his soul which was a gene of God, the very life of God. So, all right. 9. We’re looking at the Scripture then that I just read. The seed of God came from the life of God or God Himself and was ordained to be perpetuated by Adam through Eve. The woman cannot produce life of herself as though she’s the instigator. It can only come from the male. Biology proves that. The female and male chromosome… The gene, rather, is in the male. He’s the carrier and predestinator of life as granted by God. But remember; the woman has the same life, but she’s not a propagator. She’s a vessel sacred to it. Now, just think of “Marriage and Divorce”, as Bro. Branham taught us so seriously. Women may then begin to understand the idea: keep your vessels. That’s why he said, “A woman commits adultery; she can be forgiven but never justified. There’s no way.” How can you possibly say, “A woman having a baby and, then, just as though she never had one?” All right. 10. Number two: the seed of the enemy or Satan came through the serpent and was given birth by Eve and perpetuated with the help of other children of Eve, or daughters sired by Adam. These two seeds came together in one lump of humanity, according to Genesis 6, as the sons of God desired the daughters of men, went into them, and they had children. And notice, suddenly giants were born. It wasn’t that giants weren’t there all the time. We’re talking about the sons of God and the God race. They weren’t great big huge creatures, giants; that came through the serpent. 11. And by the time of the flood there was only one man in the entire billions that’s a true human being, and It says, “That Noah alone was perfect,” and that means genetically, generically. How did the seed of the serpent come over the ark? The same way it came over the rest of the way. Just came over on the ark. By the way that Ham conducted himself, you can jolly well tell there’s sure a lot of crime going on there. And it was a sexual sin of sodomy. From that time on the seed of God came by foreknowledge, election, and predestination through the same lump. It was there previously through the single lump of Adam and Eve flesh. Now it comes through the one lump with everything mixed together. No problem. 12. Now, as to telling them apart as to identifying them as to knowing whose seed you are, whether you like it or not, is the main thrust of all Bro. Branham’s messages along lines of this subject. And boy, don’t people hate it. To prove his point he starts in Genesis 3, when Eve allows one word to be added by Satan through the serpent. And people say, “How can a beast speak?” Well, didn’t God allow the ass of Balaam to speak—the little old donkey speak up? Hey, when those spirits were in the pigs, did the pigs talk? Without a doubt. “Oh, Bro. Vayle.” Don’t Bro. Vayle me. How are they going to talk? How does anything talk? Right from the mouth. These pigs weren’t a bunch of Charlie McCarthys by Edgar Bergen—could have been, almost. So the devils in the pigs said, “Don’t let us just be without bodies, disembodied. Tell you what you do. Why don’t you let us go into the swine?” He said, “Okay, go into the swine.” Devils talking. Devils in man. Devils in swine. Doesn’t matter where it is. 13. So there’s no reason to believe that this very close to the human being individual could not talk and even use the Word of God though he had no right to use It. Yet there was no other Word he could of used. So he used It and used it wrong. Now. this act did not make her an atheist or a person who rejected the Word of God. She foolishly changed the Word and, thereby, in believing the changed word… Now, she’d say, “Just a minute; I’m believing the Word of God. I went right down the line with that Word.” Ah, yes, you did, but you changed one little word. You changed the meaning. See? She allowed herself to become pregnant by the serpent, even as she herself admitted in Gen 3:13. Now, if you go to Gen 3:13 and you look up every single word in the Hebrew, you will find that she expressly says, “I was morally, absolutely, physically, beguiled. I was seduced. This person, so much like a human being; this great, giant man literally had sexual intercourse with me.” That’s exactly what is being said there. 14. And Paul declares it in 2 Corinthians 11 how it took place. And he says: (2) …I am jealous over you with (a) godly jealousy: I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. (One that’s never been touched in an act of copulation.) (3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so (you go through the same process of letting the Word be changed in your mind, and you’ll end up pregnant with Satan’s word.) Now, we’re not going to go through starting a human race all over and an inhuman race through Eve making a mess. The seeds have already been sown. And this tells you how it took place back there. She was beguiled. He was clever. He sealed up the sum of wisdom. He was sharp. He was used to the Word of God in mishandling It. He was used to worship and all the ‘ins’ and ‘outs’. So, he appealed to her mind, and her mind was corrupted. And from the corruption of the mind there came the corruption of the body and a mess. Okay. 15. In the Genesis 3, he starts where Eve allows one word to be added by Satan, see, to the Word of God. And Paul declares this in 2 Corinthians 11, and in 1 Timothy, and we’ll look at 1 Tim 2:13-15. Well, maybe read verse 12; no, I’m going to read verse 11. (11) Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. In other words, let the women learn without asking questions and being engaged in a conversation concerning the doctrine. Now Paul is talking here to the beginning of the Church where this young man, Timothy, was thoroughly taught by him and he was to teach others. And the teaching of the others was not the teaching of the women that they in turn could teach others, though this is not denied them in certain little areas. (11) Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. (12) But I suffer not a woman to teach, (Now she can learn, but not teach.) nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (13) For Adam was first formed, then Eve. That’s where you get Bro. Branham saying that she was outside the original creation. He’s teaching what Paul taught but nobody, today believes that Bro. Branham taught what Paul taught, because they don’t believe the same Pillar of Fire that brought It is here revealing It. 16. (14) And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. (Notice!) (15) Notwithstanding she’ll be saved in childbearing… What in the world is eating fruit got to do with childbearing? If she ate fruit, she’d get a stomach ache. If she drank something she shouldn’t drink, it’d enflame her bladder and she’d have to urinate maybe, all night long and several days, with burning urination. She’d be sick as a dog. Childbearing comes by sexual intercourse. Anybody knows it. We haven’t…we’re not comparing oranges to apples. It’s apples to apples, orange to orange, sex to sex. Babies come by sexual intercourse. You don’t get white hair eating apples. You get a stomach ache. You don’t get pregnant eating apples. Childbearing. You want to go back to the beginning. It tells you right off the bat she’s going to suffer during childbirth, and pregnancy will be multiplied. And we know that pregnancy is animal, not human, in its true, legitimate sense. And I’m going to tell you, animals have better control of birthing than human beings do. In a year when there’s going to be no food, the wolves either have no pups or they kill some off. Human beings haven’t got that many brains. Just turn the lights out like they did in New York, nine months later there’s a harvest of kids there never would have been otherwise. And yet people argue with Bro. Branham. 17. How did the two different seeds get here from two different sources? The Son of man sowed the good seed; the enemy sowed the other. Make up your mind. Didn’t say they both sowed the same seed. It says two different ones sowed two different seeds. And Bro. Branham tells where the trouble came: She listened. If she hadn’t listened there wouldn’t have been a sowing. And there wouldn’t have been a reaping. The enemy sowed the seed. He sowed the field. We are God’s fields. She was Adam’s field. So, somebody got to her. “Oh, no, that’s a terrible idea. You’re a dirty preacher, Bro. Vayle, and Bro. Branham’s just a dirty preacher.” You’re so stupid you don’t even know what dirt is. Watch your filthy television and live like sluts and blame it onto God! Don’t give me that stuff. Didn’t Bro. Branham even say, “If King David had have been full of the Holy Ghost he wouldn’t have touched Bathsheba.” Read it for yourself. He said it. Now, how many people got the Holy Ghost? Yeah. 18. And William Branham by vindication proves this all to be correct. Eve did not become pregnant by word but by a beast. Remember; Adam was the spoken Word. “Let us make man in our image and after our likeness.” That’s the first thing. Then there was an addenda or an addendum. And the addendum said… (Let’s go back and look at it, so I don’t have to find myself wondering what was said or how It was said.) [Genesis 1] (26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, (and) after our likeness. Now, there’s an ‘and’, a conjunction. So, he starts with the man who has the life. He’s the life giver. And He said, “Let them have dominion.” Now, notice; you can’t change the Bible. He was not made for her; she was made for him. So, he was the image and glory of God, but she was only the image and glory of man. So, don’t try to make It read different. Say, I know it befoggles the mind. And everybody says, “Oh, I can’t believe that Bro. Branham.” Well, I can. He said it. He’s vindicated. 19. If you can’t tell when a Rockefeller writes the check and some idiot down the street that hasn’t got a penny. Hey, I don’t know what you’re doing around here. Why don’t you just blow your brains out? You haven’t got enough brains even to get a meal if somebody gave you the money. I’m just giving you a little illustration. It’s tough, I know, but the point is: “Smarten up.” Brother Branham tells you what this is all about. “Then let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and the fowl of the air and the cattle and every creeping…so on.” Now, so God created man in his Own image and in the image of God created He him. It’s a double reference and a repeat. Then It says, “Male and female created he them.” That in my understanding taking the cue from Bro. Branham: if she was a step down, even a by-product, then this is a second progression, a second creation, in my books. I don’t know. You read it the way you want. But he tells you positively it’s for sex and reproduction. That’s what it is. 20. And that’s what I read over there in the 1 Cor 7:1. Male and female created he them. So, the story is life. The story is life. The species is horse; subdivided into that which propagates so that horse life continues as stud and mare or sire and mare. God breathed into Adam the breath of lives and then He made Eve, so that life that was in him, neither male nor female, but the life of God could be propagated and brought to earth. That’s why women are entreated as sisters, and most of us never know we marry sisters. We marry sex objects, because that’s the thriller killer. And there wouldn’t be any children born anyway without sexual desire. Think that one over. “…Bro. Vayle, we this...” Ah, shut-up. Please don’t bore me to nausea. I’ve got a weak stomach. You’re so marvelous, so wonderful. Shish kabob! God, how I hate this superficial religion. They out-God God. They out-Word the Word. They out-Jesus Jesus. They out-Holy Ghost the Holy Ghost. They’re just wonderful. Hogwash! And Paul said, “In my flesh there dwelleth not one good thing.” And yet sexual intercourse is a righteous act. Pardon me for being upset. I’m not too good a hypocrite. I’m not too good at lying. No. 21. This explains Rom 9:6-24 concerning the one lump, how that God did this, and He put the two in the Garden. And right in the Garden, Satan was there. Tells you, in Ezekiel, he was there. And he acted the high priest to her, and the prophet, and she listened. The animal got to her, and she conceived. Even the Talmud understands, and the Sanhedrin understood, when they said, “We be not born of fornication.” Say, we’re going to go back, then, to Abraham’s seed, and we’ve got three people involved. We’ve got Sarah, Hagar, and we’ve got the other woman’s name; I forget, I think it starts with ‘K’ [Keturah]. Hey, every one was his wife. There wasn’t one born of fornication. When you trace yourself to Abraham, you go right back to Adam, and he was the son of God. There’s no fornication in Adam. He had his own wife. They understood that the serpent and Eve copulated and brought forth Cain; they knew that. Jesus said, “You’re Cain’s descendants.” They said, “Hold it. Don’t you dare talk that way. We’re children of God, bless God. We know our patronage. We go back, absolutely, back to Abraham. We know our father. He goes right back to Adam; goes right back to God. So, all right. If anyone’s a serpent seed, you’re the serpent seed. So, shut-up!” And when Jesus healed the sick, they said, “Is not this the Son of David?” They said, “No, this is the other guy.” Ha! And they’re doing the same thing today. 22. Tells you this over here in Romans 9. I’m taking a lot of backgrounding here because I like to do that on purpose, so nobody forgets what this message is all about, what we’re talking about. Hey, man, this is one of the great revelations of the hour, thoroughly explained. Now, Rom 9:6b: (6) …For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel. It tells you that right there. Every child born of Eve is not a child of Adam. She’s the mother of all living, but Adam’s not the father of all living. Now, you see, you’ve got two paternities. You’ve got serpent seed in there mixed up with the righteous seed. Who knows where it’s going to show up? Nobody knows. Come out of anywhere at any time. With the male ejaculate, one ejaculation could populate this whole world. How much is serpent seed? How much would be God? You tell me. Very little of God…very little, because many more are the children of she that has the desolate, than she that has a husband. See? Hagar wasn’t the true wife, neither was Keturah the true wife. The true wife to bring forth was Sarah, typing New Jerusalem. All right. 23. (7) Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. Eleven more boys. Keturah had ten sons, didn’t she? Was it nine or nine? Doesn’t matter. Let’s just say she had ten, to argue the point; and Hagar had one, and Sarah had one. That would be twelve right there, or otherwise eleven, whatever they were. I think twelve all told. Only one was the real one, nobody else could qualify. (8) That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Now, their name had to be in the Lamb’s Book of Life to be Bride. They could be in the Book of Life and be foolish virgin. You could also go in there and have your name taken out because your name was in the record. 24. (9) For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. Now, notice; “At this time shall I come; Sara will have a son.” In other words, God’s saying, in the stream of life you’re bringing forth Ishmael, which you did. Now, I admit he’s your son. Uh, uh, he’s not mine though. Hasn’t got a thing to do with me. In other words, when I select that sperm that comes forth, that’s it. And if I don’t select it, it’s not going to be my child. Now, that’s done before the act of intercourse. You say, “How come?” Because the Bible says, “He was in the loins of Abraham when he paid tithes.” You say, “Brother, I can’t believe that kind of preaching.” I’m just preaching what Bro. Branham said and trying to make it so you can see It. You say, “I don’t think you see It, Bro. Vayle.” I’ve been told that. Well, that’s okay. Doesn’t bother me any. I’m convinced I’m right, and I’m reading right out of the Bible here. This is the time I will come. Did He come or didn’t He come? You bet He did. He stood right there, face-to-face with Abraham, and Sarah made Him a liar. Nice going, hey? Oh, yeah, very nice going. Abraham could believe the truth, but not Sarah. Do you think he’d ever trust her to teach Sunday school? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh my! 25. (10) And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (11) (Notice!) (For the children being not yet born (and having come from the loins of Isaac), neither having done any good or evil, (They didn’t have a chance to worship now. No.) that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) (The sheep hear the voice, and they’ve got to be sheep before they’re born, or they’re goats or something else.) (12) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. (13) As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. How are you going to do that? How are you going to do it? You know what people do with this? They just go blah. They blank out. Don’t even want to hear about it. Don’t want to know about it. “Oh, God couldn’t do that.” Who said so? Who said so? 26. They’re like the guy when Bro. Branham got killed in the car wreck. He phoned me, you know. Some of you people know him. I won’t mention his name. But he thought he was a prophet, and he came out of New York especially Newark, New Jersey, had his church there. When he phoned me, he thought that maybe because Bro. Branham had died, I would come running now and be his little lackey or something. People always misjudge me. They don’t think I’ve got that much character, enough backbone to just stand there. He said, “Oh, Bro. Vayle, God doesn’t smear his prophets across the road.” I said, “He fed them to the lions, and their body was dung upon the earth.” Ha. He never phoned me again. [Laughter] Frankly, I never phoned him either. 27. [Romans 9] (13) …Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. (14) What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. (15) (Now) For he (God), said to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will (compassionate him) whom I will (compassionate). So, get out of the way. Don’t tell me. Moses, don’t come down here and start praying for Pharaoh. “Oh God, soften Pharaoh’s heart; oh God!” That’s what Moses was doing. God told Moses He was going to harden Pharaoh’s heart, and going to make it tough before he let them go. And when God began to fulfill His Word, Moses got right down and said, “Oh God,” he said, “Pharaoh not only didn’t let us go, but he made it tougher on us. Soften his heart, Lord.” Huh? Huh? Do you follow me? Or should I go over it again? I told you Moses didn’t go down to Israel with a big cry to say, “Now, look God; we’ll just handle this thing. I’ll just pray for Pharaoh and everything’s going to be all right.” But He pulled that little trick on him when things got tough. That’s like you kids in school, you’re going to pray very hard that Cincinnati is the capital of Ohio. It won’t work. God cannot answer your prayer. I’m sorry. Under no condition can he answer your prayer because he already established Columbus. See. Yeah, Columbus? Just kidding. [Laughter] Just kidding. 28. He said: [Romans 9] (19) Thou will then say, Why doth he yet find fault? …who’s resisted his will? (20) Nay but, O man, who (are you to even question) God? (To come against his Word like Eve did.) Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? (21) Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump (of the same lump, of the same lump, of the same lump) to make one vessel unto honour, …another to dishonour? (22) What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and…make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath (now they) fitted (themselves) to destruction: (23) …that he might… (That’s what Scripture actually says here, but notice here:) that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory. Now I’m going to prove this is right from another Scripture. Pete, you’re smart. Where are we going to go? Don’t know. I’ll tell you—tell everybody. Pete, he’s got guts; he’s not afraid. 29. Luke 1, this is about John the Baptist. (17) And he shall go before (the Lord God of Israel) in the spirit and power of (Elijah), to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, (even) the disobedient to the wisdom of the just: to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. There you are, ‘the prepared people’. That’s what Bro. Branham did for us. We are the prepared people. We are here through the great-great-great-grandfather, great-great-great-grandmother all the way back to Adam, God having chosen us, manifested us right now, and we are getting ready. We are prepared to meet Him, the One that’s in the Pillar of Fire there, He will incarnate Himself again in the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. We’ll crown Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords; that will be the Son of man, the Son of God, the Son of David, the Altogether Lovely, one hundred percent. Okay. 31. Let’s go to 1 John 3. Now I know people think I read my notes more than Bro. Branham’s sermons, but that isn’t true. I move along, (Don’t worry.) but I take my own, sweet time because I want to be this way. All right. We go to 1 Jn 3:7-13. Now, I am going to not read certain things that are interpolations, because the interpolations are perfectly right. They elucidate, but they also confuse the human mind. Now, everybody’s guilty of it. And I’m not saying God’s guilty, or John’s guilty, or anything else. I’m just going to read It according, not to two thoughts which come together, but one thought; then, we’ll talk about the second thought. See? Like a man going downtown to buy two pairs of shoes. No problem. He’s got a boy named John and a boy named Bill. He’s going to get two pair of shoes. But, if you suddenly wonder, get the two mixed up, and you kind of…both legitimate, it’s pretty hard to tell whose going to get what. All right. Let’s read It now. I’m going to read It according to leaving out interpolations. Now: (7) Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. (Now we’re talking about this one here and the righteousness of God in His righteousness.) (8) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. … (9) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (10) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God… Now, notice what he said: “He that doeth not righteousness is not of God.” 32, Now, watch! He’s mentioning Cain. (12) …who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. Now, what I’m looking at right here and trying to tell you something concerning this Word that Bro. Branham is bringing to us: there is one lump. Now, in the beginning there were two separate sowings. The serpent sowed and Adam sowed. And Adam positively brought forth Abel. And the serpent positively through Eve brought forth Cain. And in there It tells you that Cain killed his brother because his deed was evil. The evil deed was not killing his brother. What he did was evil, and therefore, inspired him to kill his brother. And what was his evil deed? Off the Word, worshipping God under the influence of Satan, because Satan changed the Word from the blood sacrifice to the first fruit offering. 33. And I just noticed today, this…where they’re having this… Oh, what’s his name now? They’ve gone to the Supreme Court. He’s in Florida, and he is now worshipping… The letter starts with ‘S’. I should have written it down, but my memory’s not that good, and it’s not all that great—that is, what I am going to tell you. But anyway, he was in his apartment, and he was offering, you know, sacrifice of lambs, and goats and things, and shedding the blood, and he had the cameras turned on him because this is freedom of worship, even though the guy in the building said, “Hey, you can’t do that in an apartment.” But he did it anyway. And you notice what happened? He had all the flowers and everything there, before blood was offered; same lousy, rotten religion, right from outside the Garden of Eden. They’re not the… See, they understand the blood offering, but they’re wrong. You’ve got to have them in the right place for the right reason. But anyway, it’s a big mix-up. It’s a religion that came someplace way in the darkest jungles and into the islands down here, finally into America, and they got a whole lot of people doing it. 34. So, I would, you see, here now… [1 John 3] (8) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this (is the) purpose the Son of God was manifested, …destroy the works of the devil. (Now, that’s fine; that’s true, but you don’t need it in there at this time.) (9) Whosoever is born of God doth not sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Now, that tells you right there something. Now, these are the seeds you’re talking about. And God breathed into Adam the breath of lives. Now the Bible distinctly says that Levi was in the loins of his father Abraham. Right? And remember; the twelve patriarchs are one of the twenty-four that’s around the throne. So, you can’t do a thing about it. You say, “Well, God, why don’t you raise up somebody else? I’m now a better guy.” I say, “Shut-up! Who are you to reply against God? Weren’t you just a formed creature?” Sure, formed by your mother and father—your mother especially, so to speak. Then reply against the potter. The clay cannot do it. 35. And he says here: (10) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil (two sowings, two seeds, two manifestations): whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God… Now, who did not do the righteous thing? Cain didn’t. What did Abel do? It tells you. Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. And in Genesis It says, “Thou hast correctly offered, but if thou hast not rightly divided, hast thou not sinned?” So, what do you see? You see people worshipping God, and either it’s a truly false God or a truly false religion based upon a perverted… Look at the Muslims. “Oh, we’ve got the first five books of the Bible. We’re right and the Jews are wrong.” Hogwash! The Muslims are wrong and the Jews are wrong, because the Jews will tell you right now… They’ve come to the full swing of the seed of the woman. And a Jew will tell you, (And he’s not even a Jew.) he’ll say, “My mother is a Jew, and I’m a Jew.” That’s a lie from the pit of hell. And they know it. Now they’ve got women rabbis. See what a mess? And Bro. Branham cried out against this thing. 36. Now, remember; the last passages that I read about the sower and the seed are from the New Testament: into Timothy, Romans and so on—never mind Genesis. It is also the New Testament that contains the parable of the sower and the seeds. So, the parable of the sower and the seeds is fully explained; through the apostle Paul it’s preached on. So, we look to the New Testament to see the results, to see the historical account of the sowing of the two seeds. Now, let’s see the sowing of the two seeds. We’ll do that, shall we not? 37. We’ll go to Acts 20. Just bear with me and understand what I’m doing here. We’ll get in this tomorrow morning again. In Acts 20:26-32 now, Paul is saying: (26) HYPERLINK "javascript:void(0);" Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. (Not just men, that word shouldn’t be there. ‘Every single person’: man, woman, child. Now, how is he free?) (27) …I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Now, hold it! That’s what the devil did. But he didn’t. He had a wrong revelation, and she took it. Now, Paul said, “I’m free from every single person on one ground only: that I’ve told you the truth from God Himself.” Do you understand what I’m saying? Don’t talk to me about the Blood perfecting anybody but the Bride, because the Bride is the elect, the very elect, and she’s one person not deceived, and the Blood does not deceive. It is the Word around the Blood that deceives. So, you better know it’s the Word of God. 38. (27) I have not shunned to declare unto you (to make plain, to lead out, to show you) all the counsel of God. (28) Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (29) For I know this, after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. (30) Also (people sitting right there now, listening to me) of your own selves shall arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. (In other words, this pure little church will deliberately say things to split the congregation. Uh, huh.) (31) Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one (of you) day and night with tears. (32) And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, (That’s Ephesians 4.) and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. (Okay. Verse 30… Remember; the people sitting right there.) (30) …of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. In other words, anybody that’s even a Bride must have his motives lined up, as Bro. Branham constantly said, “Watch your motives! Watch your motives!” What was the motive of David when he looked at that woman naked with five hundred wives of his own? You think you can’t get in trouble? Every one of us gets in trouble. You’ve got to watch that you stay with that Word, or do not use It with a wrong intention. 39. Now, in 2 Corinthians 11, we read It many, many times. I read It tonight. Don’t have to read It again. It tells you that Paul is worried that they’re no longer virgins of the mind. They’re no longer virgins of the Word. They’ve already got troubles. They are a little off on some interpretation or some revelation. And you talk about off: wrong Jesus, wrong Word, wrong Spirit. My Lord, how much more can you be wrong? Now, watch where it’s coming from. Verse 13; those people among you; those people coming in. Now Paul said, “I wish they were cut off.” (13) For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into (angels) apostles of Christ. (14) And no marvel; for Satan himself in transformed into (a messenger) of light. (15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as ministers of righteousness. What is that? “We’re worshipping God according to truth. Oh, we’re the Abel’s. We’re not the Cain’s. Come on, you guys that call yourself the true Abels, I want to tell you something. You’re a stilted, narrow minded bunch of people that build a fence around you. Where’s your love? Where’s this? Oh, I don’t like your spirit.” Now, don’t tell me I’m not… This is what I’m getting all the time. As I said this week, I just learned I’ve built a wall around myself and I won’t fellowship. So, I said to the guy, “Just a minute. Didn’t Bro. Branham say, “How can a man who believes all the Word have fellowship with those who only believe part of the Word?” I said, “When those same birds will realize they’re no longer sitting on a fence, that they’ve turned the corner, it’s ‘live, die, sink or swim’—Now! Not tomorrow!—and ‘they don’t have a think coming’,” I’ll be their friends. But don’t come to me and try to change me. I don’t go to them and try to change them. How many times did Noah run around and try to change people? You say, “Bro. Vayle, you’ve got your own ideas.” Well, I do, but I hope it’s from God. Anybody can transform himself. The kind, old priest can live a better life than the guy that was there, than Jesus Himself. Brother Branham said so, “Who’s that renegade called Jesus?” 40. And now, very carefully we look at Jn 14:26. Now, notice what Jn 14:26…when the Holy Ghost is come. That’s what I want to look at here. (26) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Now, what’s the Holy Ghost going to do? He’s going to put you on the Word. And in the light of 1 Cor 14:36-37, now how’s He going to do it? See? 1 Corinthians 14:36-37: (36) What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? (37) If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge…the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. Now, here’s a prophet with the Word of the hour, and somebody sits in our congregation and says, “Well, I want to tell you, if this isn’t the right thing, I know enough about it now, to know when the right thing comes.” Then William Branham wasn’t a prophet. Brother Branham said, “You can’t judge a prophet.” But they’re judging him. And some of you might sit here like a bunch of carp. That’s a lousy kind of a fish. You say, “Bro. Vayle, you’re wrong taking your stand.” [Bro. Vayle makes grumbling sounds.] I’m told that by a mouthy woman. You women better look out, because you ain’t got a say coming. That’s right. And men better look out because they do have a say coming, but watch who you’re saying it for, because you’re supposed to speak up. Now, what have we got? Women yapping away, and men that can’t open their mouths. Women, yap, yap, yap, and men won’t? Ha! Where’s your stand? Where’s the church tonight? That’s what Paul said here. Brother Branham said, “You can’t judge a prophet.” 41. Now, let’s go a little further. I want to read the little capstone one to a degree. Let’s go to Ephesians 4. Now, Paul’s the apostle. He’s the chief apostle to the Gentiles. He magnified his office. Look in Eph 4:20: (20) But you have not so learned Christ; (21) If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus… Hey, did you put it together? If you haven’t, let’s go back and put It together. 42. 1 Corinthians 14:35, if you will: (36) What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? (37) If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write are the commandments of the Lord. So Paul’s telling them that they’ve heard Jesus and they’ve been taught by Him. And whose mouth was God using? Paul. And whose mouth was the Pillar of Fire using right there? William Branham’s. The Lord Himself shall come down from heaven with the Message. I love it. This is what I get carried away with. I love to punctuate every single word and smack it around a million times. See. I’m not afraid of the devil because this is the truth. If I was carping and bringing you some nonsense and denying the prophet… Ha! 43. Let’s look at Gal 1:11-12. (11) But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel (Paul’s gospel (That’s what it’s called.) is going to judge the world. It’s already done it.) …was preached of me is not after man. (12) For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it (by a man), but by Jesus Christ (Himself who gave me the revelation. And when I give it to you, you’re hearing God: the same as I heard Him.) And if I’m giving the same Word you’re hearing God’s Word whether you like it or not. “Well, you see, I put that in the Holy Ghost, and you know, Bro. Vayle, you… I hate him but…” That’s okay. That’s okay. That’s all right. “By their words they’re justified, and by their words they’re condemned.” 44. Thus we see the two seeds in the first Church Age sitting in the same pews with what seems to be identical worship. Yet it’s not so. I was going to read the two full chapters of Revelation 2 and 3, but I’m not going to do it. But you’ll see exactly the same thing all the way through: they’re all sitting in the same pews; they’re in the same church; they’re worshipping as they think the same God; and one is one hundred percent righteous, and the other is one hundred percent unrighteous. Now, there might be just a little bit in between by the ones-in-between that are neither the elect Bride, the wise virgin, but they’re the foolish virgin. But I’m going to tell you: if you think the wise virgin gets a bit messed up, what about the foolish virgin? She’s very much messed up. But we leave that be. 45. Then you go to Rev 3:14-19 and see the complete loss of God’s acceptance in revelation and worship. He’s outside the church. So, the church is finished, trying to get back in, knowing He can’t get back in. So, He knocks on the door, and that’s when it is, “Behold, the Bridegroom, the midnight cry, come out and meet Him!” So, a whole bunch of people come out: wise virgin, foolish virgin. But the foolish virgin don’t have any place for the oil. There’s no oil in their lamps. They’re all back in denominations. It’s all trickled out. But the wise virgins said, “Hey, ain’t nothing to all that junk I’ve been in. Praise God, if I can get rid of all that slop and know what I’ve got…” And they’re just ready to… Vessels that are empty, waiting for the full fresh revelation, they see the Holy Ghost, divine healing ministry; they know there’s something going to come out of it, so they wait for It. And that means right in there they’ve got a place for that Word of the hour. They’re the ones that go in completely dressed. (And don’t you think otherwise, brother/sister.) and they’ll sit right in our congregations. And Bro. Branham, they asked him of the parable of the man that was sitting there and didn’t have a robe on, and they said, “Put him out into the Great Tribulation. What is it Bro. Branham?” “Why,” he said, “they’re sitting amongst us. They don’t believe It. They’re make-believers or something else, but they’re not there.” 46. So, in Rev 3:14-19 see the complete loss of God’s acceptance in revelation and worship. And the only remedy is 19 and 20. So, let’s go to chapter 3 and begin to see the only thing that this Bride can possibly do and only the Bride can do it. And remember; the Bible said, when they come to me full, they’re sent away empty. And when they come to me empty, they’re sent away full. Yes sir. It’s the lost sheep that knew he was lost. The Shepherd went out and finds him, not ninety and nine just persons who need no repentance. Now, watch! That’s the story of the Shepherd, the good Shepherd. Don’t try to change it. The ninety and nine don’t believe they’re lost. Come on, you still don’t follow me, do you? Go to your parable. Go and read It: the good Shepherd, and he said, “The shepherd rejoices more over the one lost sheep he found than the ninety and nine just men who need no repentance.” Everybody has to repent. So, these guys are righteous in their own thinking. They’re the church of the devil. And they look just like sheep, and how they hate the one that repents. And the repentant one is justified, and the rest aren’t. 47. Now, listen! He’s rebuked them. (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous (and change your minds)… Oh, they say, “Bro. Vayle, that doesn’t mean that.” Like this fellow Searle, “Oh, that means you’re very sorry inside,” (and this and that,) you go through all the emotions, and so you go to the altar and find a Trinitarian God and speak in tongues. Then blaspheme the Word? Ha! Don’t talk to me. It won’t do you any good. I won’t even talk to you. Why do you think my phone’s turned off most of the time? I only got that one phone call from Europe, because I told Alisen, “Well, go ahead and answer it.” and then regretted it. Can’t change him. They don’t know what you’re talking about. Brother Branham said, “We are not Oneness, we’re not Trinitarians.” “Then what in the world are you, Bro. Branham?” “I’m standing in between. I’m neither one.” “Well, that’s two gods.” “No, no, no, no, it’s not two gods.” …because the Trinitarians got three. They’ve got the eternal son, and there aren’t eternal sons. They got God the son; there’s no such thing. And the Oneness do away with God. It’s all Jesus-Only. Brother Branham said he wasn’t His own father. And now you’ve got the picture that’s in [Alexander] Hislop’s book, The Two Babylons, and the little child on his mother’s knee and the caption said, “The child is the husband of the mother.” Yeah. Sheee. You wonder why I preach this way. There’s no way I can preach any other…I can’t preach any other way. 48. [Revelation 3] (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and (I) chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. (And who does He love? Those who were foreknown.) (20) (Now) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: (and) if any man hear my voice… Oh, brother, is he going to get a rebuke. [Bro. Vayle whistles.] I’m not three gods or part of three gods. I’m not one as you say. “Well, hold it! Then, what in the world are you?” Nobody’s right. I’m going to set you right as to who I am. “Ho, I don’t know if I can take that.” If you hear my voice, the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout… (20) …and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (21) To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and…set down (in) my (Father’s) throne. (22) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. That’s at the end time. People don’t want to believe it. I don’t know why, but they don’t. 49. Now, Rev 3:20 is none other than Rev 18:1-4: “Come out of her, my people.” It’s no different from Mt 25:1-13 that talks about the beholding, the Bridegroom; at midnight a cry was made. It’s the same thing as the prophet in Rev 10:1-7. Now, all right. Now, in the present condition, or this hour, Mt 3:12, you will notice that the tares are now pictured as chaff. The one lump is so thorough, you don’t look at tares and wheat anymore. Why? It’s “Come out of her, my people.” And the chaff pulls away from the wheat (Yes, it does.) because it’s the chaff that does the denying. The wheat is a part of God, so the chaff pulls away. They’ve been using the life all this time, as Paul said, “In Him we live and move and have our being.” [Acts 17:28] It is the same thing over here in Psalms 1, where It says, “The righteous are like the trees planted by the water, but the wicked are like the chaff.” So therefore, he’s telling you the tree is really the wheat that’s in the chaff, and your roots are in the water. You’re part of the Tree of Life. It’s kind of a mixed metaphor, but it’s there just the same. 50. And in Dan 2:31-35 It says, at the end time the clay and iron, which is democracy and kingdoms and dictatorships, they’re not going to go away; communism and dictatorship weren’t destroyed. What are these idiots trying to teach us? It’s at the very end of the kingdom and the rock comes down, and what does it do? It shatters them, and it’s like chaff coming down at the end of this age, separating the chaff from the wheat. Right, but I want to tell you something: the chaff comes from the same stalk that the seed came from, and came out of that original planting back there—Adam and Eve. And it got the interjection, the hybridization, because she was like a hybrid in that particular respect. This is exactly what you see over there in Acts 2 at the end time, when the anointing of God can fall upon everybody and anybody. Yup. And you can’t tell them apart; there’s such a close, close difference. 51. This is the hour when that One right there comes down and does the very same works that He did when He was in the body of Jesus Christ, but does it for the Gentiles. The same One preached the sermons on “The Anointed Ones at the End Time” is the same One who talked about, “Many shall come in that day and say, ‘Lord, Lord, haven’t we prophesied in Thy Name, cast out devils, talked in tongues,’ ‘I never ever knew you, depart from me’.” And He said, “Behold, I told you before,” when He spoke in Matthew 24 and 25, when He talked about the anointing upon every single person—false prophets. This is what these sermons are all about. Now, since the false, but anointed ones, are chaff, there is no life in them. For the life is gone; it’s all gone. It’s gone to the wheat that can be identified by God and herself, and even the world, by whatever Word comes forth in Rev 3:20 and Rev 10:1-7. Now, here’s the point: the Bride is identified by the world, but not accredited or believed to be the Bride. So, don’t get scared when I tell you ‘even the world knows it, but they don’t know it.’ 52. Now, notice on page 24, paragraph 2, Bro. Branham calls ‘come out of that bunch of nonsense, you Methodists that are ordained to eternal life’, and indeed calls all the sheep for Rev 18:4, which is, “Come out of her, my people,” and 1 Th 4:16 which is the Shout, which is the Message. He is calling the elect out of all denominations and organizations, for there are predestinated ones in them, and they must come out or burn. All denominations and organizations are harlot daughters of the whore and one with her. And notice what God says in Rev 2:20-23, which is Malachi, chapter 4. Now, in Rev 2:20-23 he says: (20) Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. What are you talking about? They’re doing the very positive thing that that Paul said was already started, and had to come to full conclusion of another Jesus, another spirit, and another gospel. Where’s Rome today? And where are the Protestants? See? (20) …which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce (and you know that means the woman, the church is doing it all, God’s not in it any longer.) and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. Ha! Doesn’t the Roman Catholic Church do that right today? They take heathen worship and inculcate it. There’ll be no trouble for Rome to rule the world and make everybody happy. Hey, come on in, have a good time. Jews got the paper. Rome’s got the gold. Only Rome can make commerce flow and say, “Listen, come on with us. You’ll eat and you’ll drink; you’ll have a good time. Hey, we’ll take care of you.” Oh, they will all right. They will all right. They’ll take care of you. 53. (21) And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; …she repented not. (22) Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. (23) And I will kill her children with death; (That’s the second death.) and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and…give unto every one…according to your works. That was already done in Heb 4:12 when Bro. Branham read everybody’s hearts and you couldn’t hide if you tried. Why came right before the Great Tribulation. Listen, don’t you understand when you hear fire and Great Tribulation, and something is said of that time, this is that hour—the Judge. Now, who’s preaching it? Hardly anybody. No, they don’t preach it. Oh, no, sit on the fence…everything…”He’s a wonderful Lord. He loves you.” Ha, ha. Good, old, kind priest. Well, if you want the stupid kind, spiritually speaking, that’s your business. See, right down the line. All right. 54. “Behold, I send you Elijah, the prophet.” Look, Rev 2:23: (23) …I will kill her children with death; and all the churches…know that I am he (that) searcheth the reins and hearts: …give unto…according to your works. We’re not going to get much more done than just reading Jude tonight. [Bro. Vayle checks time remaining.] You know me by now. We’ll get down the road, two years from now. You people have always been praying for me to live, so be patient. [Laughter] See, if I live, this is what you get. [Jude] (1) Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: (2) Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. (3) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once (for all) delivered unto the saints. (4) For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Now, that’s your Oneness right there. They can’t see both. They can’t understand God having a Son. As Bro. Branham said, “The light that formed, like a child playing around his Father’s throne, and the Father said, ‘Son, let us make man in our image.’” Now, when did Bro. Branham come back and say, “I’m sorry, I told a boner on that. I’m sorry I boo-booed”? See, he didn’t do it. 55. (5) I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how (our) Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. “Come out of her, my people.” How many comes out? Mixed multitude. Does He save them all? Do they all go in? No, they don’t. What happened? They went to Baal-peor—a sex orgy. They fell for it. (6) And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. (7) Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, (That’s homosexuality, especially, and) are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of (the) eternal fire. (Now, notice; ‘eternal fire’ and Sodom: same thing today: Sodom and Gomorrha, sodomites, fire.) (8) Likewise also these…dreamers defile the flesh… (The word ‘filthy’ is in there. Let’s just leave it out.) Likewise…these dreamers (They’re just a bunch of dreamers. There’s no reality.) defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. How do they defile the flesh? Romans tells you. Homosexuals bring to the flesh that which is meet, which is AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, and now AIDS. That’s where it comes from. They say, “Well, where does syphilis comes from?” Nobody knows. I’m telling you where it came from. The seeds are already in the ground, and this act will bring them forth. 56. (9) Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. (10) But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things (that) corrupt themselves. Now, you want to notice something here? Moses died before they went to the Promise Land, but He brought them out. God was right there in their presence, and He stayed with them to lead them in. And you know what they said? They didn’t even bother anymore with these birds. They said, “Let the Lord take care of them.” They didn’t go around and try to convert them. How are you going to convert a homosexual? Now, maybe one or two can come in. But they claim, you see, that they’re generically that way; they’re genetically… They can’t help themselves. I read of a man today, his picture is in the paper, it’s in one of the magazines, maybe Time or something, and he tells how as a young boy he fell in love with another guy. And then later on he fell in l-o-v-e. How can a man fall in love with a man? I’m talking now about erotic love. They weren’t made that way. There’s something wrong. “Oh, everything is all right.” Now, the government’s got to pay for it. I ain’t paying for it, if I can get away from it. 57. (11) Woe unto them! (Now, watch! He’s talking about this end time. See? Because you don’t talk about Sodom and Gomorrha at the beginning, you talk about the end, when things are right.) Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying(s) of Core. (12) These are spots in your feasts of (love), when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, (and) without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots… See, kill her children with death. Now, remember; all his talk here, you’ve got to put it where it belongs. It’s at the end time, killing the children with death at the time of the tribulation. (13) Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (Put this over where Peter says that’s the same time the day star arises.) (14) And Enoch (There you are again.) …the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, (15) To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. (That’s not White Throne. That isn’t talking about White Throne. White Throne is in the Book of Revelation.) (16) These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage. (17) But, beloved, remember ye the words (of the Lord) which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; (18) How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. (19) These be they who separate themselves, sensual, not having the Spirit. All natural, all reasoning… That’s it. That’s today. That’s what’s in the world today: natural brute beasts—the serpent seed. The serpent was a beast. The seed of God has run out. It’s got to run out. And when it runs out, the wise are taken, the foolish are left and they’re killed, and the only remaining seed’s the one hundred forty-four thousand, unless there’s some kind of foolish virgin there. I don’t know. Don’t ask me. I never heard of it. This to me is the end. 58. (20) But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, (21) Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (22) And of some have compassion, making a difference: (23) And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by flesh. (What’s at the end time? No spot, no flesh.) (24) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, (25) To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and (forevermore)… Now, that’s what Bro. Branham is telling us right here. Now, all right. Since Rev 2:23 is absolutely THUS SAITH THE WORD OF THE LORD, as is Jude, we can read this as Bro. Branham’s own words on paragraph 2 on page 26. 59. And notice what he says: [SPOKEN WORD ORIGINAL SEED JEFF.IN V-3 N-2 62-0318E] [26-1] Oh, my, now we’re going to hit something real rich, full of vitamins from Genesis to Revelation. Notice, and she and her daughters have a whore’s womb. Now, listen, brother/sister; when a whore is with child, she is burned, and the baby doesn’t even come to light. This is the burning. She’s got a whore’s womb. She cannot stand to have the Word of God. There is no place in there for it. She claims to have God as her husband, but she will not bear His child. Now, notice! [26-1] Only death can come from them. If you want to join the organization, then think you’re all right, you see where you’re landing. You’re landing right in the midst of death. Just exactly. If you can’t see that now, you’re spiritually blind. Now, brother/sister, let’s go back to the Word and nail it down. Because this can go over your heads and you say, “Well, now isn’t that something. Well, now, isn’t that quaint. Oh my, isn’t that something?” In other words, it becomes a complete head knowledge and acknowledgement that It is there, but not an acknowledgement within the church, and It’s real, and It’s amongst us. It’s everywhere and in this Message because, if it’s the same One that brought the Word to Paul, It’s here revealing It. And he said, “Even amongst yourselves men will arise.” Then it’s got to be here now, because it bears the same fruit one hundred percent. And Bro. Branham talked about casting the net, and he used the one where the fisherman throws in the net and brings both good and bad, and he said, “There are the crab there and the…crawfish and the lobsters, and there’s some real fish.” And he says, “What happens? He dumps them on the shore and pretty soon the lobster, ‘Well,’ he said, ‘nothing to it, I guess I’ll go back in there.’ and the other fish say so and so. But the real fish, they’re in the boat.” All right. 60. We’re reading 2 Corinthians 11. (2) …for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. Brother Branham, as one of the Seven Church Age messengers will have a presentation, I believe, with all my heart. I think he suggests that somewhere. I can’t recall at this moment. We can look it up. (3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds (the womb) should be corrupted (How? Through a word.) from the simplicity that is in Christ. (4) For if he that cometh preaches another Jesus… What is the simplicity? The simplicity is a prophet that people wanted. And he was that prophet, because Messiah has to be a prophet. But when the prophecies were to be confirmed in Him by vindication, they said, “Kill him.” Now, “He’s the same today, yesterday, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 is Genesis 18 where God came down in the form of a human being and stood before Abraham and his wife, and He said, “This is that hour, just before the burning of Sodom, to bring forth that child in flesh.” He said, “The church can’t do it because the church is a whore.” They’ve got to burn her and her son. So, what are you looking at? You’re looking at what I’m telling you. This is what Paul said. I just read over here in the Books of Revelation and Jude, and I can read It in 2 Peter. I can read It through the whole Bible, and It tells you the same thing. 61. (4) For he that cometh (will preach) another Jesus, (that I have) not preached, (and it’ll get you to) receive another spirit (that I didn’t bring in your midst), (You’ll hear another word. I’ve got nothing to do with it.) Now, the same man that said positively, to them he said, “If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write or tell you are the commandments of God,” the same thing right now. And they say, “Who needs William Branham?” Well, who needed the apostle Paul? Then who needs you? What have you got? What have I got? Come on, let’s spill our guts. Well, I’ve got big feet and an ugly nose, and I’m losing my hair. My digestion doesn’t work too good. And if I’ve got any faith in God…I really don’t think I have any; God doesn’t mean anything to me. I’m depending solely upon the faith of Jesus Christ. I don’t have anything. You say, “What about that little life in your soul down there?” Well, how do I know? The only thing I know is that I believe what the prophet said. And hopefully, I’m believing It one hundred percent right. But as for vindication… But you see, the thing is, I’m looking at something real. Yeah. 62. I’m like old Eliezer. He didn’t know too much, but he knew Abraham had it. He said, “Lord God of my father, Abraham.” Elisha, the servant of Elijah, poured water in his hands and saw the great miracles, and he knew all about it. And he said, “Oh, Lord God,” he said. What did he say? No, he said, “Where’s the God of Elijah?” He didn’t say, “Where’s the God of Elisha?” He did not identify with any God except the God of the prophet. Now, answer the question. We are not Oneness. Then what in the world are you? Oh, we’re not three-ness either. They’re both wrong. The prophet came to correct the errors. People don’t want it. And they’re not going to want It because there’s nothing in there to want It. He said to the Israelites, he said, “The reason you can’t hear me is because there’s no place in you there for the Word.” 63. How many people can take ipecac and not throw up? I don’t even know what ipecac is, but I know it will make you vomit. How about rotten egg? Can you take a rotten egg? See, there’s nothing in you that wants a rotten egg or ipecac. Now, there could be something in you wants sulfur, so you might chew the peddle of the bicycle, like Bro. Branham said, “Because deep calleth to deep.” But there’s nothing in you to recognize that, and the visitation of angels, and Bible days are here again. Now, listen; I’m talking from experience with people I’ve talked to and ministers. It’s not going to get anywhere. 64. I’m going to close with reading this again: [26-1] Oh, my, now we’re going to hit something real rich, he says, full of vitamins from Genesis to Revelation. (That’s what I’ve been saying. It’s right, the ‘alpha and omega’.) Notice, and she and her daughters have a whore’s womb. Only death can come from them. (See?) Remember; it was Judah, was it Judah’s daughter-in-law [Tamar]?—yeah, that she had married one of his sons, and he died. And the second one died, was killed by God for spilling seed on the ground. And so the third one was supposed to be given… He got scared something might happen, too, because this woman was kind of a bad case. He wouldn’t give it, so she gets pregnant by him [Judah]. She disguises herself. Isn’t that strange, here’s this great, wonderful patriarch of God; he goes into a harlot. And he says, “What’s your price?” “Well,” she said, “I would like the little kid here; you’ve got your cane.” He said, “Hey, that’s all right. Pretty good time; I think it’s worth it.” Now, she’s pregnant. Everybody knows it, and they say, “Why your daughter-in-law is pregnant out of wedlock? And he said, “What a filthy whore she is. We’ll just burn her with fire.” Oh, what a wonderful, wonderful Christian. Sounds like a top notch legalist in my books. I’m not going to fault the guy too much, but you can see I’m not happy with him. I think that’s stretching it too far. Bring her out; we’ll burn her. “Why,” she said, “I’ll gladly come. I’m pregnant by the man who’s this is the signant.” “Ahhh,” he said, “My God, thou art more righteous than me.” Well, that was sure the truth. But it’s a very strange way to get to the truth. What I’m trying to show you is: they burn them with fire and their unborn children. In other words, it’s all cut off. It’s all over and the wicked are destroyed. There’s no more serpent seed. And the foolish virgin comes up in the Second Resurrection and they go in, out and around the holy City and bring their glory in, and they’re called the kings of the earth. But we’re not in that particular area. 65. [26-1] …a whore’s womb. Only death can come from them. If you want to join the organization, think you’re all right, you see where you’re landing. You’re landing right in the midst of death. Just exactly. If you can’t see that now, you’re spiritually blind. And Bro. Branham, without quoting Jude and all these other passages, is quoting ‘they’re twice dead’. Number one: they’ve been judged by the Holy Spirit coming after the Resurrection of Jesus. And now number two: they are judged by Him according to 2 Thessalonians. Now, if we thus judge it ‘if one died for all’, then we’re all dead. Number one: death. Number two: they are dead. They crucified themselves again the Son of God afresh. You see what I’m talking about? They’ve rejected. It’s all over. It’s death. What lies in the world? Nothing but death, Bro. Branham said, “History will not be written. It’s all over.” 66. So, these are the things that I say that Bro. Branham is saying in this Message. He is telling us categorically, spoken Word is original Seed. And nothing but original Seed is going to come to pass because God is bound only by His Word because that Word came out of God, and it’s actually part of the omniscience or the intrinsicality of God, which He Himself in love backs up in omnipotence. He won’t back up anybody else or nothing else. So, you’ve got the two seeds, and notice; it all came by Word. So, spoken Word is original Seed, and if there’s anything else there, it’s not anything but a hybrid. That’s why everybody at the end time can be anointed: saint and sinner; it doesn’t matter. They can talk in tongues and prophesy and do this and do that. 67. They can be just like Judas. And remember; Judas literally loved Jesus in his own way. Because the Bible says when he betrayed him, he gave him an affectionate kiss. And you say to the Church of Christ, “You don’t love Jesus. You hate him.” Oh, they’re smitten to the heart. You’ve said…That’s the unkindest cut of all. Wasn’t that Shakespeare or somebody that said that? The unkindest cut of all. “I love him. I’d die for Him.” Yeah, though you give your body… “Oh, but I mean it. I would.” I want to ask you one question. What about this man, William Branham, that says, He heals the sick? “Ho, ho, that’s the devil.” Now, my Bible says, “They hate God.” “Oh, Bro. Vayle, you don’t understand.” Honey, you’re the one that doesn’t understand. You’re the one that wants to put the dirt under the rug and say, “Well, the thing is, I believe in the Presence, all right, like Bro. Vayle. But, you see, it’s his terrible spirit.” That I won’t bend, that I’m unflinching. If this isn’t It, there’s nothing, as far as I’m concerned. Forget it. “Live, die, sink or swim.” I’m already dead, if this is not It. Ah, ha, but if It is, I’m swimming. Oh yeah, yeah. Waters to swim in. The next thing is waters to carry me over. 68. I want to tell you about that swimming, folks. I can’t swim a stroke, but I had the dream, I was swimming, but it sure was dark, but I knew I could make it. You say, “Bro. Vayle, you go by dreams?” Oh, not necessarily. I’m just telling you, even your dreams sometime can do a little bit. What about driving the car completely blanked out for one hour? Who drove it? Who took care of whom? You say, “Now you’re going by experience.” Not really. Not really. But I can take an awful lot of comfort out of the fact that “Thou art the Lord that healeth me,” when I was dying of TB of the pituitary gland, and I didn’t die. I got better. And I can take a lot of joy out of the fact that when I had a terrible, terrible case many years ago, running to the bathroom, shivering and perspiring, burning up at the same time—fighting that thing for two solid hours, get up perfectly healed. Oh, yeah. It’s a lot of satisfaction that I can have a passive faith and an active faith. A lot of satisfaction! But I put everything in my soul on the passive faith. “Nothing in my hands I bring simply to the cross I cling.” Yes, but clinging to that cross doesn’t do you one bit of good turning down the Word. You only tramples the foot of the blood of Christ under your feet, when you turn down the law of Almighty God. Well, tomorrow morning we’ll try to get on to what I didn’t get on tonight. Shouldn’t be too bad. Just remember what you heard tonight, and I’ll start reading. All right. Let’s bow our heads in a second to prayer. Heavenly Father, as we change the order of the service, to Foot-washing and Communion, we trust Lord, that Your Name might be glorified by all of us remembering what the prophet said, and what we try to say about what the prophet was saying to us, concerning this message, which later on was followed by “The Anointed Ones at the End Time”, driving the nail in deeper and deeper, sowing the truth in the Word of God, just bringing It right down to simplicity, two seeds by two different sources. Now, here’s the evidence, and the people couldn’t take it. Couldn’t take it. No, couldn’t take it. No, but they expected to take from them. They wanted You to do what they wouldn’t do. So, Lord, we know that here we are at least tonight, we want to receive everything that You say, and we do try to receive, only hoping, Lord, that we’re explaining It really rich and true from the Word of God, nailing every single thought down, knowing that the prophet is true, because he’s vindicated. Believing, Lord, that the same Pillar of Fire that brought the Word is here revealing It. Knowing the same God that Paul said, “Who art thou, Lord?” And You said, “Jesus, Jehovah.” You’re here, Jehovah tonight. And we worship You, and thank You that You’re leading us into the Millennium. And though the prophet is gone, the Pillar of Fire is here. He hasn’t gone away, will not go away…take us right up to the Marriage Supper, bless God. Having raised the dead and transformed us, into the incarnation, the great Wedding Supper, and coming back with the rod of iron breaking in nations to shivers, while we rule and reign with him, the righteous Seed, not because of us, but because of You, our paternity, even as Jesus himself stands in the midst of the congregation worshipping and praising Thy Name and is not ashamed to call us brethren, call us by name, call us brethren. These are my brethren, because we all have one Father: “Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” who has begotten us again to a lively hope through the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, knowing we are begotten with Him. He the great first fruits, and one day, like Job, we’re going to stand upon the earth with him and enter back in from that interruption to the glorious provisions that lay there and lay forever ahead. Father, I know at this time, it doesn’t mean to us what we know it’s going to mean. We’re happy about that because if it’s supposed to mean at this point what it means down there, then I haven’t got anything at all. I just got to back away and say, “Well, I thought I had something, and I wish I did.” But Lord, I know that when Bro. Branham said, “The Millennium is the place of further sanctification,” and down the road I’m very happy to know that I got a little part, somewhere—maybe a doorkeeper, a doormat in the house of the Lord. That’s fine, just to be there, and thank You, Lord, that You’ve given us a understanding how we can tell, and we thank You, Lord, that that evidence is something that You verify and You vindicated. And we don’t stand in our own thoughts and understanding; we stand on Yours. And by Your grace, Lord, we don’t have a think coming and, O God, I wish it could be every way and in every life today, just that perfect and simple, but we know one day it will be. One day it will be, Lord. One day it will be. Now unto You we give the praise and glory in Jesus’ Name. Amen. [Communion and Foot-washing services follow.]
