Things That Are To Be #11 PRIVATE  

Pesthouse to Father’s House

May 1, 1994

	Shall we pray. Heavenly Father, we’re grateful for the Word You gave
the prophet, proving it was Your Word by vindicating Yourself to the
prophet, then the prophet to us, and the Word, consequently, by that
same vindicating manifestation. And we are happy, Lord, that he brought
us truth from Your Word, Scripture by Scripture, and then even
illustrated so many things to us through light—how that You do these
wonderful works to help give us knowledge of Yourself and the way of
life, and such knowledge will bring us to the place, Lord, of
immortality, because we’ll be walking in the light as You are in the
light and have fellowship one with another, and the Blood cleansing us
and going right across that river, Lord, to eternity.

	Help us to take the Word to heart this morning—just simply believe
It. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen. 

	You may be seated.

1.	 Now, you know, Bro. Branham mentioned one time how that the doctor
gives you penicillin, and the penicillin kills the germs, and that’s
like when you take rat poison and you kill the rats, but that doesn’t
mend the holes. And it takes your life processes to build your body up.
And I was thinking the same thing: The blood of Jesus Christ may cleanse
us from sin, and that’s like killing the rats, but it doesn’t mend
the holes. You need the baptism with the Holy Ghost to get you immortal
life. And that’s what happens. The baptism gives us immortality, and
in this very hour we’re looking for it. 

2.	Also, I was noticing here in 1 Corinthians that Paul, whom Bro.
Branham actually supersedes by way of the hour in which we live, said:
[1 Cor 1:17-19]

(17)	Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with
wisdom of words, (You know, not with a lot of great words that could
mean a lot of things, but don’t mean the truth.) lest the cross of
Christ should be made of none effect.

	 So, therefore, you could preach the cross of Christ in a tremendous
and marvelous way and actually cause people to turn and look and
actually cast their vote for that particular thing that God has done,
and it wouldn’t mean anything to them, because it wasn’t with the
actual understanding and wisdom that God had and that particular purpose
which He accomplished through Christ. He said:

(18)	The preaching of the cross to them is foolishness; but unto us that
are saved it is the power of God.

(19)	It is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to
nothing the understanding of the prudent.

	Now, Paul is saying what I said a while ago, and he’s saying here,
“Look, you can have the greatest delineation upon the things of
Almighty God, which really show the wisdom of God, but, if you don’t
understand, it won’t do you any good.” And the understanding of
those who have an understanding apart from the true revelation will
become nothing...becomes a death.

	And this is what we’ve been preaching for many, many years—ever
since Bro. Branham died—that it doesn’t matter how much you quote
the prophet. You can end up like any Bible student quoting the Bible and
knowing It from cover to cover, and knowing where every verse is,
knowing all the doctrines, but, if you know them wrong, you don’t have
the true understanding; it doesn’t avail. Now, this seems highly out
of order; it would make many people indignant. But you tell me a better
way there is to separate the people so that eight people make the ark.
You can’t do it. They simply fall down in error, when it comes to this
Message.

3.	Now we’re on to number eleven (#11) this morning, and last night we
were hearing Bro. Branham give the lie to the reincarnation bunch and
the, you know, ‘transmigration of soul’ bunch. But reincarnation is
widely believed in the world and is gaining great acceptance. It’s
gaining more and more acceptance. In fact, you’ll find that many
people that claim to be actually Christians, actually believe in
reincarnation. They take the Bible, read It the way they want It, and
perhaps, what they really do is, take some little concept they had as
children, find it’s highly unsatisfactory in their lives (It doesn’t
answer any questions.) and yet they know there’s something to attain
to, something to go on to; so, reincarnation becomes an escape for them.

	Now, the theory of reincarnation is: We keep coming back to the same
conditions, but in a personality different in order to learn our
lessons, and then go on to becoming ascended masters or at least some
great type of overcomer.

	Now, that’s utter nonsense. Bro. Branham said we’d leave this
pesthouse and go on to a Word or Spirit-body and then come back to our
resurrected bodies and live in a prepared place called ‘Our Father’s
House,’ wherein there are many mansions where what we are, or what we
have gone through in our lives here on earth, is already done and over
with, and there is no continuation of that particular kind of a life.

4.	Now, if you remember, Bro. Branham, being in India that time he was
confronted by the Jains and by the Shiites, which are the Muslims, he
also mentioned that he was engaged in argument—philosophical
debate—with those who took little brushes made out of leaves, and they
would, you know, put it across their path so they didn’t hit an ant or
something, because that might be either an uncle past or an uncle coming
on. You weren’t quite sure what it was, whether he was coming or
going. You know, like the kid that came down from upstairs one day, and
he said, “Mummy,” he said, “did you say Adam was made out of
earth?” he said.

	“Yeah.”

	“Well,” he said, “better come upstairs and look, if he’s made
out of dust, because either there’s a man coming or going under my
bed!”

	And that’s what these guys are like...just as stupid. You know? If
brushing, brushing it could be my uncle to be or my uncle that was...you
know.

	And, when Bro. Branham stood before them and the showdown, the
countdown, was the Mt. Carmel of that hour, the twentieth century, to
the whole world, he showed them who the living God was, when he prayed
in the name of Jesus Christ, and the eyeballs came out in the burnt out
sockets of that man that everybody knew.

	Now I realize that people, except us, will say, “Now, just a minute.
Why wasn’t that in the newspapers? Why didn’t the world hear about
it?”

	Well, you answer me this question, “Who heard about the crucifixion
of Jesus Christ outside of some people in Jerusalem?” You know, just
because it is done in that particular way doesn’t mean it’s done in
a corner and nobody knows anything about it. Don’t you believe for one
minute but what that went out around the world. It had to. It went to
those circles, but it instantly died, because the leaders were the ones
that saw that it did die.

5.	So, Bro. Branham, speaking here, is saying, “Now, look; don’t get
any ideas apart from the Resurrection, because resurrection... Remember,
he illustrated. He took a handkerchief and… Like I got one here. He
dropped it down. Now he said, “If this comes up something other than a
handkerchief, that is not resurrection. So, therefore, when we go down
in these bodies, we come back in these same bodies that are completely
glorified.

	Now, remember; you will be tempted in your flesh, which is given to
temptation, and not only the probability but the propensity and the
certainty of sin. And, know this for sure: that only one person ever
lived the life, therefore He is Christ, and He is the Overcomer. And,
remember; that is what was said to Adam and Eve, and she should have
borne Christ, but, consequently, through the redemptive blood of Jesus
and the baptism with the Holy Ghost and the unfailing Word of Almighty
God, His wisdom, omnipotence, omniscience, and His omnipotence to bring
it to pass, we will reign and rule on this earth one hundred percent
precisely with Christ and even in a greater manner than was foretold in
the simple, first delineation of God: “I’m making these people in My
image, after My likeness, and now they’ll have dominion over the whole
earth, and they’ll control it all.”

	Well, you see, that has to be fulfilled. You say, “If it wasn’t
fulfilled, the Word of God falls completely void.” That’s why when
you go into the “Bride-Tree” and “Spoken Word is Original Seed”,
and those sermons we took, you find Bro. Branham made statements that
boggle your mind.

6.	Now, the actual truth of the matter is: Those Words are the wisdom of
Almighty God, but people, apart from understanding, It condemns them,
because the Word of God is going to stand there as the Judge. That’s
why you’ve got lawyers. You’ve got laws of the land made by a bunch
of politicians. We’re just barely comparing this to God, because…
Oh, listen; forget it. But you do have a system of laws in the land, and
in the laws of the land, you have those that make the law, you have
those that carry them out, and you have those that interpret them.

	Well, that’s what God has done. He’s put in a five-fold ministry
under a prophet and the power of the Holy Spirit to bring the Word to
the people so they understand It. As the Scripture says, “With all thy
wisdom, get understanding.” Get all the wisdom you can, but get
understanding.

7.	Now, in the time, the Scripture says that Jesus was the wisdom of God
and the power of God, and that One came down to earth here preceded by
John the Baptist, and John the Baptist was the one who was delegated to
give an understanding to the people concerning the wisdom of God—which
we saw, of course, in the Book of Luke—and we read It just dozens of
time in the first chapter, wherein It says here that [17] “John shall
go before the Lord God of Israel in the spirit and power of Elijah.”
And he did. He was right there at the River Jordan when the Lord God of
Israel came in and made Jesus Christ, His Own Son, His habitation. So
now, the Father was completely immersed in, baptized into... Jesus was
that tabernacle of God. So, therefore, God, being in absolute, complete
control: John saw that. And you’ll notice what It says here: 

(17)	He’ll go before him in the power of Elijah to turn the hearts of
the fathers…, (even) the disobedient, to the wisdom of the just; to
make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

	In other words, It says here, “He came to give an understanding.”
Now, if he gave a wrong understanding, Paul would have said, “Well,
the trumpet blew an uncertain sound. Who’s going to prepare to
battle?” Well, for all these years there’s been an uncertain sound
concerning the Appearing, which finally got into the understanding of
the Rapture through a woman, who, in an Irvingite meeting in a darkened
room, spoke in tongues and interpreted and prophesied. 

8.	Now, that’s where everybody, but us, stands. The so-called
fundamentalists have been sold a bill of goods by the devil through a
woman. Therefore, it is true that everybody that believes that doctrine
is under Rome. Jezebel! Because a woman has no voice in doctrine!

	Now, I’m not saying she... Now, listen: let’s get this flat, so
you’ll understand where we’re going because so many people, they
go... Look: didn’t I say this morning the blessing of the Lord maketh
rich and doesn’t add any sorrow? Doesn’t it get you out of the
dumps? Isn’t it going to put you in heavenly places? Isn’t it going
to do something for you? Then, listen: relax. When I talk about women,
get this flat: Eve had the same life as Adam, the same qualitative,
quantitative soul. But she was a female in her body, and the spirit had
to have a nature that would blend in. Adam was the same way.

	But you can take any woman you want and any man… It’s only the man
that has the life in him. But the woman is of the man, so she’s got
the same life. But we’re talking of propagation, and a woman cannot
handle the spiritual things. If she could, then you’d have a church
that dictates to God—tells God what to say and to do! The church has
nothing at all to do with the Word of Almighty God, as though it could
bring anything forth and anything to pass. It is exactly like the woman
who needs an injection of life. In other words, everything is there in
the woman to do what’s supposed to be done, and everything is in the
church. Get her with the male, it’s going to be fine! Get the church
with the Male, it’s going to be fine!

	Now, you tell me the church is with the Male, and I’ll laugh in your
face. If there’s going to be a Rapture of anybody that hasn’t been
with the Male, I got news for you: You’re a Roman Catholic and don’t
even know it. You worship Diana and don’t even know it. You’re a
Gnostic and don’t even know it. Now, if these terms fool you, come and
talk with me privately. I can even produce the books for you. The
strange thing is: The person that spilled the beans on the Gnostics was
a woman researcher.

9.	So, women can be thoroughly full of the Holy Ghost under obedience to
Almighty God, be a capital investment to Almighty God to bring forth
magnificent dividends. And a man can be a flop and a farce. And I never
heard of Satan being a female. Huh? Better think these things over, so
you’ll know where I’m coming from. I know even today there could be
women sitting in this church here that still don’t understand what
I’m saying. You get all.... [Bro. Vayle makes sound of someone upset.]
Oh, for Pete’s sakes, settle down. When did I ever slap a woman around
or abuse you? When did I ever treat you anything but a loving sister,
with respect, and build you up? Now, if you smart off like some woman
come in here, you’ll get it in your teeth, I tell you frankly, you
will get it. I won’t put up with it. But, if you have a real spirit of
Christ in you, who could help but love you? appreciate you? honor you?
See what we’re talking about? All right.

10.	Now we read here, Bro. Branham speaking, cleared and showed
positively the truth under the Seventh Seal, under the Thunders, the
reality of things to be, which reality cannot be, unless there’s a
seed sown. So, you notice, every single time he goes to the Word, and he
tells you the progress of the Word, the hour in which we live in, and
these things that are so tremendously pertinent to us.

	Now I want to get the right spot here, where we’re going, because, if
I don’t, we’re not going to be able to get anywhere today. All
right. Let’s just go back, then, to page 19, and Bro. Branham is
talking about this place that’s prepared—God fulfilling His promise:

  [62]	Oh, but the other one...

	Now he’s talking about the devil’s pesthouse. And, if you look at
this in the singular, each one of us is a pesthouse; and, if you look at
it in the plural, there’s a church that’s a pesthouse, where all the
diseased are. And, if you go in there, you’ll get the same stuff that
they get. That’s why God said to His people, “I’ve brought you out
of Egypt, and you stay out of there, and you listen to me. None of those
diseases will come upon you; but, you go back to that pesthouse,
you’re going to get those diseases!”

	18:26. And I can see in the Word of God today those same diseases are
amongst us. And, because I see certain visitations, and I’m not one to
lie to you and pull my punches, I’m worried. I’m greatly worried.
Where are we? What’s happening? Are we towing this line? Are we
believing? Are we just giving ourselves a bill of goods? Because those
diseases are amongst us. 

	I don’t have the answer. I don’t. Bro. Branham said,
“Something’s got to take us out of here.” Does that vindicated
statement of his, (because his statements are vindicated) does that not
obviate the Scripture of the Old Testament. Are we, then, prone to be
heir to those things? I don’t know. My own gut reaction is this: The
prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord raise him up and those
things of no consequence. I can’t simply take what Bro. Branham said
and, then, go to Scripture and say “Well, it annuls it.” I don’t
say that it does annul it. I don’t say “amen’ to annul it. Let’s
say this flat: I’m confused, and greatly puzzled that those things are
here.

	Is it because we’ve defied certain laws of nature, even as those that
destroy the earth shall be destroyed by God? Are we now in that
particular condition? Well, we’ll soon be to the condition—We
already are there.—where the antibiotics aren’t working, except in
one case, and that’s soon going to be blown. Now, where do we go? Do
we enter into immortality in the last five minutes...aah-ugh! [Bro.
Vayle makes gasping sounds. dying? rotting? I don’t see anything in
the Word of God for that. I see more where John said that you may
“prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.” And there
never was a time when the soul is more prosperous in this hour (which
we’ll read) and understanding was so prolific and so great.

11.	 So, we’re getting more understanding. Now, he said, “The
pesthouse we’re in, caused by Satan...the fall. On the other hand,
there’s my Father’s house.” Now, he’s making a singular
comparison. What is my Father’s house? Well, let’s see. I’m just
going to go to the same place Bro. Branham went to, and that’s 2 Cor
5:1, and he quoted It saying: 

(1)	We know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved,
(this old pesthouse) we have a building of God, a house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.

	Now Bro. Branham categorically said, “When you see the word
‘eternal’ in the King James version,” and he didn’t elaborate.
He said, “That means ‘eternal’ as God is eternal.” Now, you can
argue that from the standpoint of the Scripture written in Greek and
Aramaic, that many times the word ‘forever’ is called ‘eternal’.
So, therefore, now we’re going to have the King James version in the
light of a truly identified Word of Almighty God that has no errors. Now
I can’t believe that, because Bro. Branham had to go to the Diaglott,
which is the lousiest translation under high heaven to get the meaning
of a word. And he, himself, used the Greek many, many times; he looked
up references. But he said ‘eternal’, quoting this very Scripture.
So, all right; I’m putting it there: ‘something that was always
there in God and with God in the heavens.’

12. 	(2)	For in this we groan, earnestly desire to be clothed upon with
our house which is from heaven. (Now, that’s a father’s house,
evidently, when you put it in the singular.)

(3)	If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

(4)	For…this tabernacle we groan, being burdened: (but) not that we
should be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed
up of life. 

	Now, right away, you’re going to find that people are saying, “Oh,
no, this is in the Resurrection (not what Bro. Branham said) because
mortality is swallowed up.”

	Well, the point is this: mortality is swallowed, because from that
point on there is no such thing as death. You go, and there isn’t any
more death, period. You passed it, whether there’s a resurrection or
not. Now the point is: Do we leave here and go to this particular house,
leaving this house (which we do) and not come back to our bodies? The
answer is: absolutely. You do not by-pass that. You go: number one:
here; number two: there; number one: back here, which is number three.
You have a duplication, and the duplication is a perfection of the body,
which you now have. 

	So, all right. In the singular, we have it, but also it’s in the
plural: we’re many members made one body. All the people coming
together make that great heavenly area which we’re going to.

13.	Now, he says:

[62]	“...I’ll go and prepare a place for you. Take you out of this
pesthouse and deliver you into my Father’s house.” Amen! There you
are! Take me out of this old, earthly pesthouse.

	See? In other words, pain, sickness, sorrows—all those things—are
soon to go. He’s gone to prepare a place, a perfect place.

	Now, it’s not that our bodies were not perfect at that particular
time. But, remember; we were placed in there, by-passing the Spirit or
Word-body in order to be tempted, and in temptation, there came the
fall! Now, remember; you cannot get by the essentiality and the
intrinsicality of the wisdom of God. And that wisdom was uttered by none
other than Iraneus and one hundred percent confirmed by Bro. Branham,
who added one phrase, and Iraneus absolutely said, “God, being a
Savior, it was necessary that He would predestinate a man who would
require salvation in order to give Himself the reason and purpose of
being.”

	And in this message here, where Bro. Branham talks… The man in
Germany that hated him with a terrible passion and lied about him like
crazy… I’ve got the guy’s book, and the guy’s an absolute,
devil-possessed liar! I can tell you that, and you take my word for it,
this Bible open and my hand raised toward God, I would not lie to you.
He would have to be that kind of a person, under the control of the
devil, knowing nothing about God at all, but pretending to, to say the
things that he said, which were absolute lies! 

	Now, that man said—one of the men like him said, perhaps that
identical man, but nonetheless, the same tripe—said, “God, sitting
back like a big, fat Buddha, with his hands folded on his belly,
watching through all the ages, women with children ripped up and
everything else,” and Bro. Branham said, “See, he didn’t
understand God.” He couldn’t understand the nature, that is, the
intrinsicality of God—God’s true makeup. When you look down, the way
down at the end, and there you will see how that God has been completely
glorified, and man has been completely glorified with him. That’s what
they didn’t understand and don’t understand. So, all right.

14. 	[62]	...He’s gone to prepare a place, a perfect place, where no
evil exists or sickness, and no old age exists, no death exists. It’s
a perfect place calling you to perfection.

	Now, if it’s a place calling you, and it’s a perfect place, then
there has to be a Deep calling to a deep. As Bro. Branham said,
“Before there was a fish with a fin to swim, God had already prepared
the water to swim in.” So, all right. It was already lined up because
of what we are intrinsically. Our soul is a part of God, or a gene of
God, as Bro. Branham called it. And a gene, merely, is that which
produces characteristics—physical and spiritual—into manifestation.
Now, at the same time you’ve got your body holding you down with the
spirit allowed of God, but not of God, and a mind that can work with the
senses. So, many people can’t understand how that you could be a true
gene of God which would absolutely represent the virtues of the
intrinsicality and essentiality of Almighty God in that measure in you
so that you could bring it forth.

	“Well, I don’t think He brings anything forth.”

	See, you roll your eyes and throw your hands up. Why? Because you’re
using your senses! “Well, I looked around, and I don’t see that guy
is such a wonderful guy.”

	“I don’t see that woman’s so great.”

	“What’s that guy dancing off of? What’s he got?”

	Oh, shut up and go to the Word! Get some understanding, or you’ll
blow it. See? Put in together. You were put in this body—God knowing
you would fall! knowing the flesh would fall. Well, we’ll get some
Scripture here. This is about the only paragraph I’ll be able to take
this morning, I see—understand—how things are going. 

15.	So, this perfect place that wasn’t even there. But, in the mind of
God, due to His omnipotence, it had to be there. That place was not
prepared for Him. It was His but prepared for us who were only in His
thoughts but were a part of Him. See? Genes of God to bring out the
essentiality of God in these children in certain and under certain
conditions. Anything but perfection!

	In other words, let’s face it: a beautiful, wholesome apple that you
are dying and starving for—and pardon my vulgar expression—was
dropped into an old-fashioned, outdoor toilet with three feet of feces
and urine in it. And the apple is in there. Huh? And the apple’s
perfect. Huh? But, my! What a surrounding. Now, you get the picture? You
didn’t? Shall I illustrate some more?...because I’m a good
illustrator. I can have you vomiting shortly, if you need it.

	The flesh was given to be tempted. And I can take you through Scripture
and show you that a seed of God can be as rotten in his flesh—not that
seed, but that manifestation of the flesh can be as rotten—as any
serpent seed ever thought of being. But there’s still something in him
we’re going to talk about. All right.

16.	That Deep is calling for it. Now, is there, then, the gene of God in
these Muslims? these Jains? these Shiites? these people that believe in
transmigration of souls and reincarnation? these people that deny the
Resurrection and these things? Is there a gene in there? No! Because
there’s nothing calling for perfection. They’ll settle for something
less! That’s why the Pentecostals settle for gifts instead of the
Word. Oh, brother/sister, do you want a derivative, or do you want the
real thing? When you’re talking derivatives, you’re in dangerous
ground. You want the real thing. Bro. Branham said, “Why should you
settle for anything less when the heavens are full of the Real?”
He’s talking about gifts compared to the Word. I believe at that
particular time though he was in favor of gifts under the right
condition. 

[62]	...It’s a perfect place that’s calling you to that perfection.

	In other words, how much do we have in our hearts toward that place?
Now Paul gives us a little psychological test, and he... Well, Jesus,
Himself, actually, sets the tenor when He said, “Lay not up treasures
on earth where moth and rust corrupt, and thieves break through and
steal, but rather lay up treasure in heaven where neither rust corrupt
nor thieves break through and steal, because, where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.” [Mt 6:19-21] And then, of course, we
know that Paul took it on to the place of building this edifice and
coming up in this building.

17.	Now, why would you under any consideration even attempt to lay
treasures in heaven, unless there was a heaven and a place you could lay
them? See? In other words, if you are a child of God with that seed,
there will be a deep in there calling far beyond what this world has,
where the riches can cause you sorrow, where gifts, an enlargement, can
cause you problems. But you can never get too deep, too high and too
much in God and really have a problem. The trouble is: We’re not rich
enough in God. That’s why our problems come. And the deep calling in
there knows it and wants the flesh to line up.

	We’re not like the apostle, Paul, who says, “I keep under my
body.” Many people say, “I keep my body under.” You know, that’s
not the Bible! You take a couple of wrestlers. You get one guy on top
the other guy, trying to pin him down and he’s squirming and fighting.
But you get that guy on top suddenly get up and grab the guy and lift
him above his head in an airplane spin and wheet! [Bro. Vayle
whistles.]...him down, break his back over his knee. That’s the truth
of getting under the body. In other words, you get under your body;
you’re in control of your body. We’re not here to try to pin our
bodies down. We’re to just leave them up to God and let God help us
deal with what’s in those areas there, which He certainly can do.

18.	[62]	Now “It’s a perfect place calling you to that
perfection.” Not anybody else but you, the elect. And you have to be
perfect to get there. The Bible says so. Jesus said, “Be ye therefore
perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” 

	And Bro. Braham qualified that. He said “If God made a commandment
for that, then He had to make a way for it.” And, of course, the way
was, by the blood of Jesus Christ which scattered sin till there be no
evidence. So then, how can you make a man a sinner, if there is no
evidence. It was made by the blood. Now, listen: and it’s a perfect
kingdom. So, it must be a perfect people who come. Now the call is to a
perfect kingdom. It’s to perfection. It’s to the Father’s House.
So, all right.

	The people themselves must be perfect. And you know from the Book of
Revelation, that’s true. Because you have to be married to a perfect
Son of God, therefore, you must be a perfect Bride. Now, this is what he
lays out under the Seventh Seal, talking about the mystery, which is now
revealed to us, and in the open concerning heaven, what it’s like, how
we get there, and what we do when we do get there. And this is part of
it. 

19.	Now he’s telling you, by divine revelation, (And it’s in the
Scripture, of course. No problem.) we must be a perfect Bride. Now, he
says, listen: How can you do it through anything else but the perfect
Word of God, which is the waters of separation that washes us from our
sin? Now, you will notice in here that I quoted what he said about
Matthew 5:48 under the Seals. He said, “God demands it, therefore God
must make a way for it.” And he said the blood of Jesus Christ
scatters sin till there be no evidence. So how can you make a man a
sinner. And he said, “The blood of Jesus Christ perfects the Bride.”


	So, he’s talking, therefore, about two types of perfection. There has
to be. Not that they’re not actually one, in the sense of their union
for what is to be completed. But he says here now, not discounting the
Blood, not discrediting the Blood, but he says, “How can you do it?”
Now there’s something that you have to do. The Blood was something
that you and I didn’t have to do. It was done for us. But now here is
something you have to do. 

20.	Now he said:

[62]	“How can you do it through anything else but the perfect Word of
God, which is the waters of separation that washes us from our sin.” 

	Now, there, of course, he’s quoting Ephesians. So, we know where go,
and that’s very simple: Ephesians 5. And It says:

(25)	Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and
gave himself for it. 

	Now you’re talking about the Blood. Right? You’re talking about the
Blood. He gave himself for it. Now, notice: He gave himself for it. This
is the primary step, of which number two could not come into existence,
but is one hundred percent bonded to step number one, which I’ll prove
to you through John. You understand what I’m saying? You don’t get
number two without number one, and number one doesn’t do you any good
without number two. So, all right. We understand that; don’t we? Okay.

(26)	That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by
the word (not Blood),

(27)	That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having
spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; that it should be holy and without
blemish.

	Now, here we’re looking at what is in Ephesians 4, a church that has
come through the complete period of the sanctifying Word through the
Holy Ghost Himself coming down to a Word-prophet and going to a
five-fold ministry. And I mean ‘five-fold’, because It says so.
There it brings a Bride to perfection based upon what has already been
accomplished. 

21.	Now, let me read It in Galatians. Now I hope you follow me. If you
can’t, you get the tape, because you’ve got to have it. That’s all
there is to it. We’re looking at Gal 3:13:

(13)	Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a
curse for us: (How? Hanged upon a tree.) ...It is written, Cursed is
every one that hangeth upon a tree: (Now, watch:)

(14)	That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through
Christ; (Which is what?) ...(to) receive the (Holy) Spirit of promise
through faith.

	So, all right. Now, why is the Holy Spirit given? To seal us in to the
day of redemption, which is down the road 2,000 years from when He was
given, and to bring the church into the wisdom of Almighty God—which
is to lead us into all truth, making us one with Him. Do you understand
what we’re saying? All right. 

22.	I’ll prove that now by John 3. And I’ve run this many, many
times, and, except for Bro. Branham, I wouldn’t have gotten this. It
would have been absolutely impossible. 

(16)	For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. (That’s what? I believe it, I’ve got it? Like fun you’ve got
it! Let’s just keep reading. Oh, I love this even more…)

(17)	For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through him might be saved. (Hallelujah. Sure got that
better than ever! Now, watch:)

(18)	He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth
not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God. (You say, “Hey, Hey. I-I-I love that.
I’m really-I’m really going great guns. I’m sealed-sealed in. I
buy that. Hey, man. I love that.” Just a minute. I’m not through
reading.)

(19) 	And this is the condemnation, (Just a minute. I thought there was
no condemnation. Now there’s condemnation.) that light is come into
the world, and men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds
were evil.

(20)	For every one that doeth evil hates the light, neither cometh to
the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

(21)	But he that doeth truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be
made manifest that they are wrought in God.

	Now It tells you right there that the blood of Jesus Christ does not
avail without the Word. 

	“Well,” you say, “I-I-I don’t know if I believe that.”

	Well, that’s fine by me. 

23.	You believe anything you want, but I’ve got some more Scripture.
It’s over here, in type, in Heb 10:26:

(26)	For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge
of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. 

	So therefore, when there’s a sacrifice, there got to be a knowledge
of the truth. So, when you turn down the knowledge of the truth, the
sacrifice is worthless. It’s not only worthless to you; it becomes a
debt to you. Because, now, listen; let’s read some more.

(27)	But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery
indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. (Adversaries of what?
the sacrifice? No. The Word! Now, watch:)

(28)	He that despised Moses law died without mercy under two or three
witnessess:

(29)	Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought
worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and have counted the
blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified (That’s a number
one sanctification.) an unholy thing, and done despite unto the Spirit
of grace?

	In other words he turned down the sanctifying Word, of which there is
no sanctifying Word without sanctifying Blood, and there’s no
sanctifying Blood without sanctifying Word. They go together. So, you
see the double principle here we’re looking at. You can see in one
place where Bro. Branham talks of the Blood and the next place the Word.

24.	[62]	...Now, how can you do it through anything else but the perfect
Word of God?

	Now, there again, you could say, “Well, I believe the Word of God.”
Like the ol’ gal said, “I believe the Word of God from ‘kiver to
kiver.’ Bless God, I even believe the ‘kivers.’“ Oh, that’s
very cute, you know—very cute. But the ol’ girl really didn’t.
Nah...soon as it came to her finding out that her mother and father
didn’t believe it...”Well, what’s good enough for pappy and good
enough for mammy is good enough for me.” Well, that’s good for the
old whore and her husband, the devil.

	My mother’s religion didn’t mean a thing to me and still doesn’t,
if she’s still got it. God know. She’s been dead a long time. My
father’s…my wife’s mother—I don’t know what she had, but I
know her father’s religion didn’t mean much to me either. I knew
what he had. And I can tell you: your religion might not mean anything
to you either. And mine might not mean a thing to you. The point is:
What is correct? And Bro. Branham brought the truth when he said, “You
can neither worship nor serve God without a prophet.”

25.	Now, 2,000 years from the time of the fall of the Bride, when the
Bride’s mind was already corrupted, and the prophecy, positively, the
infallible, inerrant Word of Almighty God said, “It’s going to get
worse and worse and worse till she’s wretched, miserable, naked,
blind,” and flaunts her floozy form across the platform in her high
heels, short skirts, and short hair. There’s your Pentecostal harlot,
and Miss Oneness isn’t much behind her anymore. There are your
fundamental churches, so-called—the whole stinkin’ bunch of them out
there in their prostitution. 

	Now, how are they going to make it on the blood of Jesus Christ? You
ask me that. I want an answer. My Bible says it’s a two-fold. You
can’t get one without the other. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses
you from all sin opening up your life in order to receive the Holy Ghost
in order that you receive the Word. Now, remember; the Holy Ghost is
given for to you receive that Word-life in there that Word of God, water
you, and bring you to perfection.

26.	Now he said:

[62]	...How can you do it, now, you’re doing it, through anything else
but the perfect Word of Almighty God, which is the waters of separation
that washes us from our sin?

	Now, the washing from what sin? The sin of unbelief. The sin of not
understanding and knowing the Word of God in that hour, because this is
what you’re looking at. As John the Baptist turned the hearts of the
fathers to the children, this prophet turns the hearts of the children
to the fathers, which, absolutely, according to Luke [1:17], establishes
the truth that that means ‘gives understanding’. In other words
Jesus coming on the scene would have been a flop without John the
Baptist.

	You say, “Well, I-I-I just can’t take that.”

	You don’t have to take anything. You don’t have to take anything.

27.	I pose this question to everybody who questions Bro. Branham coming
on the scene like the apostle, Paul. You show me one reason why Almighty
God, encapsulating Himself in Jesus Christ, His Son, at the River
Jordan, needed John the Baptist, except it’s in the Word explained to
you. How do you... How come you believe it? 

	The point is: They don’t believe it. They give lip service. If they
believed it, they’d believe what is being said today. “Elijah must
surely come and turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers.”
They don’t believe it. They don’t see the Gentile sign of Jonah in a
resurrection. Within three days and three nights he had to come forth,
and so it is that the Spirit of God had to come forth from the captivity
in a rotten, destitute church until He left it—had to come forth in
between the first and third day which He appears at the end of the
second day, bringing us into the third. And we’re in the third right
now. We’re at the year 2001; we’re into the third day.

	The rumor of His Appearing, of Him being alive, came under Luther. It
was confirmed more under Wesley. Brought into much manifestation under
Pentecost, they were sure that was it, but it wasn’t. It was just the
shuck. And they turned down Reality, and there’s the picture right
there: scientific. 

	“Well, I don’t know if I believe it.” 

	Well, I do. Everything. Everything, I... Look, if I don’t believe
that, I don’t believe anything. 

	“Well, Bro. Vayle, you’re just confused.” 

	Not like your confusion, bless God.

28.	Now the waters of separation are very, very important to us, because
it is the Word that separates. As Bro. Branham said under divine
inspiration, “Positively, the Word separates,” and It surely did.
Now I’m going to take more of this later on, so I want to go on.

[62]	...Amen! That’s right. The blood of Jesus Christ. Think of it!

	Now, watch now. He’s going back to the Blood, which he did not touch
at the first. Now you’ll notice in here he does not separate the Blood
and the Word. I’ve done it on purpose, because there’s a chronology
that I’m looking at. Now, Bro. Branham reverses it, and in reversing
it, he makes It one and the same. Now, watch how he does it:

[62]	...That’s right. The blood of Jesus Christ. Think of it! Now,
watch: The dripping, bloody Word!

	Now you don’t get blood out of a Word, unless the Word is manifest in
flesh. And, if the word becomes flesh... Now, watch what I am saying:
“If the Word becomes flesh.” That’s exactly like a caterpillar
becoming a butterfly. The chrysalis is formed, the whole thing. In other
words, what was there—becomes. Now, you talk about mutation. Mutation
is right in the world to prove it. But this is not a mutation on the
grounds that God Himself mutates. No way, shape and form. It is God
becoming. And I love the way that Bro. Branham uses the word
‘become’, and you notice nobody used it, until this century, the way
he used it. And he goes right back to the Gospel of John, the first
chapter. All right.

[62]	...Amen!...The blood...the Word of God, bleeding Word to wash the
Bride in. Amen! Yes, sir! She stands perfect, virgin, unadulterated; she
never sinned in the first place. Amen! She was trapped into it. See?
There’s the Father’s house that He’s gone to prepare.

29.	Now, let me take you to where we’ve got to go. I won’t take this
down the road. I’m going to bring it this morning, because I brought
it many, many times. Again: it’s in 1 John 3. Now, listen carefully.
Well, we’ll start with the first verse and lead up to it:

(1)	Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that
we should be called the sons of God.

	Now It doesn’t say, “Behold, the manner of love the Father bestowed
that you ‘are’ the sons of God.” It said, “You should be called
that.” In other words, you have that name bestowed upon you and you
couldn’t have it except you are. “Therefore the world knoweth us
not, because it knew not him.”

	Now He was the Word; they didn’t know it. They didn’t know He was
the Son of God. Many people still don’t know. They try to make the Son
the ‘Father’, the Father the ‘Son’. That’s why the people that
are Trinity all went Jesus-Only. Bro. Branham was not Jesus-Only;
neither was Paul the Apostle; neither are we, but we’re called that.
Even reading what Bro. Branham said, “Now there’s two of them: the
Father talking to the Son; the Son talking to the Father.” No
Jesus-Only ever said that, nor can he say it.

	So, Bro. Branham taught two Gods, eh? Now, come on, let’s get this
flat: Where are those people that say they believe this Message?
Where’s the understanding? I want to know! “Well, you see, that guy,
Vayle—he’s all intellect.” Check me out. See how much intellect I
really do have; you might be surprised. Maybe a ten year old kid could
whip me at the post.

30.	(2)	Beloved, now are we the sons of God, it doth not yet appear what
we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like
him; for we shall see him as he is. (Now, in His Appearing, we’re
going to see Him as He is—the complete revelation—and that’s going
to bring about our change. He’s got to be down here on earth.)

(3)	And every man that hath this hope in himself purifieth himself, even
as he is pure. 

	Now, until you see what we are seeing concerning the Appearing, which
cannot be without the Presence, you’re not going to make it. There’s
no way to purify yourself. You can’t do it. You’ve got to have that
hope in you. You’ve got to have that knowledge.

(4)	Whosoever committeth sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the
transgression of the law. 

(5)	(Now we) know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in
him is no sin. 

	In other words He never, ever defiled the Word or was one inch apart
from It. He was the Word, absolutely living Word, absolutely bleeding
Word, so, therefore, we are cleansed by Word-Blood—the dripping,
bleeding Word.

(6)	Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not
seen him, neither knoweth him.

	Well, all right, that sounds very good, doesn’t it? Oh, that really
puts the fear of God into people because...” Oh, my, I could be taken
away as a branch; I might not be abiding in Him. Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho,
ho!” Well, ho, ho, ho. Shut up and listen. [Eph 1:3-4]

31.	(3)	Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual blessings and heavenly places in Christ
(Jesus):

(4)	According as (he hath) chosen us in him before the foundation of the
world. (Where were we before there was a foundation? In Him.)

	 So, let’s read It again, over back here in 1 John, and It says here:

(6)	Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not.

	Well, how do you get in Him according to Scripture right now and borne
into Him, baptized into Him? Where were you in the beginning? I was in
Him, brought down here in sinful flesh. Now I’m baptized with the Holy
Ghost, sealing my body into the day of redemption. But, if I was in Him,
and that in me is now here and here, then this in me never did sin.
Let’s find out:

(6)	Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not
seen him, neither know him. (Remember in that day: “I never knew
you.” Do we know Him? He know us?)

(7)	Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness
is righteous, even as he is righteous.

	You mean to tell me that I have the same righteousness, the qualitative
factors of that purity of conduct and mind, behavior, contemplation, and
everything else He had? Hogwash! Not like He had it. I’ve only got a
teeny measure. As I’ve said many a time, “Only Jesus Christ lived
the Word, but we believe It.” And therein is where we are as righteous
as He is because we believe that same Word.

(8)	He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the
beginning....

(9)	Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin.

32.	All right. Was Jesus born of God? Aren’t we identical except we
by-pass that Word-body, that Spirit-body, as Bro. Branham called
‘theophany’? You show me where we’re different. The prophet said,
“There’s no difference.” So, how, then, is the intrinsic
‘you’, that gene, that soul of God, that God gave you that soul…
How could it ever sin? How could it ever have... And sin is unbelief!
See? In other words the Deep calling to the deep—you have that deep.
There’s no way you can’t want it! and there’s no way the others
can want it. 

	You say, “Just a minute, I believe they do.” 

	Not the way you and I want it, under the conditions you and I want it
and the expectations you and I want it, and what we’re going to do
with it when we get there. Oh, no. Oh, no. They’ve got it all figured
out.

33.	That’s very cute. You know, the Muslims, they’ve got the idea,
if you become a martyr like this one guy: He was going to marry this
girl, and so, he wrote a little note and said, “I’m going to go to
the temple to pray,” and he went there with a bomb and blew some
people up, and he got blown up, and now they’re all rejoicing. Now
he’s going to have a lot of wives in heaven. He’s a martyr.

	Now, let’s take another Muslim: He’s mad at the PLO, so the Shiite
gets mad at the Jain, so the Jain becomes a martyr, and he kills the
Shiite. Now the Shiite’s a martyr; the Jain’s a martyr. Well,
who’s the real martyr? I want to know. That’s a good question. You
follow what I’m saying? The Jain says he’s right. The Shiite says
he’s right, and they’re both martyrs. Now they both can’t be
right. Huh? Well, they can’t be, then… But they’re both wrong. And
they are. Who’s going to get all the women, then? It’s like the
Mormons!

	I’m showing you something here: We don’t go to that kind of a
place! So, get rid of all the crud that’s in our brains. Now,
there’s no longing for that stuff. There’s no desire and no want.
You can be perfectly human with perfectly human appetites. I’m not
against it. I went through it myself. No problem. The thing is, when you
see the Word of God here, you are one hundred percent reconciled to the
Word of God, knowing that this is a perfect place, and this place here,
in spite of a harem and a billion dollars and living 2,000 years in good
health, it’s still hell! and a pesthouse! Now, I laid that on the
line, didn’t I? It’s on the tape, too, and I can’t take it back.
I’ll make it even stronger if you like: 6,000 years in good
health...phew-t! (Bro. Vayle makes sound of derision.) Good hell! Never
heard of a good hell yet.

34.	Whosoever is born of God issues forth from God. These bodies
didn’t. That soul issued forth from God and was put down here in
natural election and predestination by the foreknowledge of God. I
don’t know why people don’t understand the Word.

	Now, listen:

(9)	...For his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he’s
born of God.

	That’s a double statement. He that’s born of God cannot commit sin,
and I’ll tell you why: because that seed never, ever leaves; it never
changes; it’s always the same; and there’s no way he can sin! “I
just told you,” said John, “he’s born of God.”

	Because he said, “What?”

	He said, “Didn’t you hear what I said?”

	Huh? There’s a big difference between us and Jesus. When the Father
spoke, He heard. Oh, my, what a tremendous thing. What a tremendous
thing! Tsk, tsk, tsk.

35.	But, you know, it’s coming again. Everything we’re wishing for
that we like here is not going to be here, brother/sister; it’s going
to be there. Every deep we have—every deep. I won’t tell you what my
greatest deep is, but it’s going to be realized. If I’m part of Him,
it’ll be realized. You won’t be shocked if you hear it. It’s very,
very pure; it’s very wonderful; but I’m not going to say it, because
then you’ll say, “Well, I think I believe the same way you do, Bro.
Vayle.” 

	Everyone of us is different. What you desire will be so much different,
perhaps, than what I desire, but you’ll still get your wish—your
desire, because the deep is calling, because it’s part of it. And I
will get what you’re wanting, but it’ll be second place to me,
whereas you’ll get what I’m desiring—it might be second place to
you. I’m just talking about an order of desire.

(10)	In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the
devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God.

	And that righteousness in there is an act of worship according to the
Word or not according to the Word. We went through that dozens and
dozens of times; we can understand it. So, all right. What we’re
looking at here, then, is the fact that you cannot separate the Word and
the Blood, because it was the Word that became flesh, and therefore, It
was a bleeding, dying Word, so to speak. A bloody, dripping blood Word.

36.	[62]	Now, The blood, the Word of God bleeding to wash the Bride in!

	Now, there again, we have the truth of that, and the truth of that is
in Hebrews 6 [4-6], at the Seventh Church Age, at the last time man gets
a chance to repent. And, remember; the Bible says, “During the great
tribulation, they did not repent, because they couldn’t repent!” And
in Hebrews 6 there comes a time when repentance is not granted. They
have the final opportunity to believe, and they turn it down, and they
crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh. 

	Now Bro. Branham said, as I said in the “Good Friday” message,
that’s to ‘crucify themselves’. And people don’t really realize
that. They don’t realize that, if I stood up here, and I’m giving a
great speech, like pretending I’m honoring you, and I’m building
myself up, then I’m not honoring you. I’m honoring me. So,
therefore, when they crucify to themselves the Son of God, they’re
actually crucifying themselves! They’re crucifying that Word.
They’re crucifying everything It stands for.

	“Well, sure glad we got rid of that guy.”

	 A Oneness preacher said, “Well, when Bro. Branham got killed…
Well,” he said, “it’s about time that”—whatever he called
him—“got killed. Bless God.” 

	Well, that guy wasn’t even fit to lick Bro. Branham’s boots after
they’d been soaking in manure for the last ten years, polish it with
his tongue. And I wouldn’t let him near his boots. But, if that’s
tough preaching, you’ve got it. You can put it out of your mind, or
leave it in there. It doesn’t matter to me. Now, listen:

37.	[62]	...Amen! Yes, sir! She stands perfect, virgin, unadulterated.

	Now, notice that statement: “perfect, virgin, unadulterated.” In
other words, the status is one hundred percent what God wanted—fresh
from the hand of God—what God wants. Now, what does God want? He wants
His children! Wants those souls...and they always were perfect. Bro.
Branham said, “There’ll come a day when you realize you always were
saved.” See? Now, notice:

[62]	...She never sinned in the first place.

	And that’s what we read over here in John. In the first place she was
in Him; and in the second place, the third, the fourth, the fifth and
eternally, she’s in Him—and a part of Him! How are you going to make
that part of God disbelieve God’s Own Word, when He Himself is known
as ‘The Word’ and became flesh?

38.	Now, you and I are no different. We, as Word, in our portion and
measure, became flesh for our time, and in this last hour of manifested
sons, we positively know who are really manifested, because the showdown
is here through judgment. The Judge is here! 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10:

(7)	And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall
be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

(8)	In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that
obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

(9)	Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence
of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.

(10)	When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired
in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed)
in that day.

	And that’s when you come into Isaiah 42 and also to Matthew 4
[14-16]:

(14)	That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,
saying,

(15)	The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the
sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

(16)	The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which
sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

	And also in chapter 12, because chapter 12 is the elaboration of
chapter 4. And It says: [Mt 12:20]

(20)	…Till he send forth judgment unto victory (That’s to the
Gentiles, bringing judgment to the Gentiles, avenging them.)

39.	Listen: do you realize that Jews have hated us Gentiles all these
years? And they milked the Gentiles’ breasts; they run our money,
everything else. Let’s face it. They can’t stand the name of Jesus
Christ. “Well, He could have been a prophet. We might have made a
mistake.” And the trouble is: We hate them because of the name of
Jesus. It’s a dislike-dislike, hate-hate; it’s not a love-love. This
has been going on and on and on. Now the showdown comes, because
they’ve always had prophets. They didn’t get one, because they
killed the last one, and we got him right there, avenging the Gentiles.
Yeah. Now, what else does It say?	

(20)	...Show judgment (to the Gentiles—avenging them) and sending
forth judgment unto victory.

	Now, what is the victory? The victory is over in 1 Corinthians 15.
Let’s read It. Paul is speaking of the Resurrection and those standing
here that don’t die. And It says in verse 49:

(49)	We bore the image of the earthy, we bear the image of the heavenly.

(50)	This I say, brethren, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of
God; neither corruption incorruption.

(51)	Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, we’ll all
be changed,

(52)	In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, (And, what is going to happen at the trumpet
sound?) the dead in Christ are going to be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed (to be just like them).

(53)	For this corruptible (Right now, that’s dying.) must put on
(something that cannot die—that cannot corrupt), and this mortal
(dying) must put on immortality.

(54)	So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
mortal...immortality, (That’s in the Resurrection and the changing of
our bodies. It says:) Death is swallowed up in victory!

(55)	O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (It
doesn’t say that. It said, “O death, where is thy victory? O grave,
where is your victory?” It tells you right there.)

40.	 So, there’s going to be a Resurrection and a change to
immortality in this hour, proven by that. That’s Isaiah 42, not 61.
You understand what I’m saying? Okay.

(1)	Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul
delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment
to the Gentiles.

(2)	He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in
the street.

(3)	A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not
quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

(4)	He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in
the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

[62]	...She never sinned in the first place. How could she? She was
trapped into it.

	Well, she certainly was. She wasn’t in there, even in the original
creation. Now, does that make her an inferior creature? No! No, she’s
out of due season. She’s identical to Adam; she’s taken out of Adam.
Everything Adam was is put into her for child-bearing. Because she
doesn’t have seed, she doesn’t have direction. She can’t
procreate. See? Only the male could do it. The male must be with her,
the same as our Male has to be with us.

	It’s not that we don’t have the same soul life. It’s not that we
don’t have these things. We are like Him; we only by-pass that one
area. But now, through the baptism with the Holy Ghost, it’s
commensurate to a Word-body, under these conditions. But I’ll tell you
one thing: I won’t change this for my Word-body coming. You better
believe I’m not interested. I want to get out of here, period! No
question marks; no waiting. Get out of this pesthouse.

41.	So, she was trapped into it. She certainly was! She certainly was.
That word is ‘seduction’. It means ‘to think something is right,
and it’s not’. It means ‘to be taken to the cleaners; all the time
you think you’re building up a bigger bank account for your
retirement’. It means that you’re being controlled by Maxwell, the
moss-backed, double-agent Jew that ran the big publishing firms that
stole all the people’s retirement funds. They’re doing it all over
the world. And the government is just aching to get every cent from our
retirement funds right now. And they’re going to get it. You know why?
Oh, come on. Smarten up! Who runs the money? Come on; you weren’t born
yesterday. Who has the paper? Who has the gold? And they’re going to
have a great marriage; make them very happy. The pope and Jews! And
everybody’s going to just marvel—stand back and marvel.

	“Commerce is running again; industry’s moving again. Our retirement
didn’t go down the drain after all. Wunderful!”

	 I’m going to be out of here, bless God. If I ain’t, I’ll give
you fifty bucks to cut my throat. [Laughter!] Do me a favor: Anything
I’ve got, you can have. I don’t want to be here. Bro. Branham said,
“I’d sooner have the oath of the Knights of Columbus perpetrated
upon me than five minutes in the great tribulation.” I don’t know
what he meant, except I know it’s terrible. 

	That marriage, brother/sister, made on earth in the pit of hell, is
going to take over, acting as though it’s the kingdom of God and that
means what? Omniscience and omnipotence—absolute sovereignty.
Everything controlled on this earth by the enemy; I don’t want to be
it.

42.	[62]	Now: she was trapped into it. Yep. But there’s the Father’s
house that He’s gone to prepare.

	So, we’re looking at the double again. We’re looking at each
individual going to that which God had prepared for them according to 2
Cor 5:1-5, and we’re also looking at what Jesus said, collectively, as
Bro. Branham will later bring out ‘many’. It’s going to be a
tremendous thing, not a civilization like ours. No, no, but it’s going
to be something different. It’s going to be what God wants and God in
complete and perfect order. Okay.

43.	We’re going to stop right here and see what happens, if we ever
get back to it or not. I don’t know what Bro. [Geoff] Hall is going to
do or what I’m going to do. But anyway, the thing is: Do you love the
Lord this morning? That’s the main thing. And are you getting your
eyes open more and more again to what we’re preaching and seeing, that
this is right down to earth, but it’s: Though we are in the chicken
pen of this age, we’re eagles just the same? Our minds are no longer
encumbered with what is in the muck and the mire. We know that down
here, just the same, we have received an inheritance. We’ve received
the Word of God in us—His riches. Don’t look at the vessel. Just
think what’s in us and where that’s going, as we’ve brought this.
[Bro. Vayle taps on the pulpit.] If we die, and thank God if we don’t
die, it’s going to be changed. I’m going to like that.

	I’m going to like it more than you know, because ever since a
child... My mother got angry; she could have hit me with the end of an
ax if she’d had one. I don’t know which end. And I said, “Ma, I
believe”—Now I was about twelve years old, maybe ten, somewhere in
there. I said, “You know, I believe the one time I’m going to relax
perfectly in my life is when my soul leaves my body and not before.”

44.	In other words, I could only see rigor mortis doing anything for me
as far as this body is concerned. And I think I must have got that from
God, because I believe it’s the same thing right today. If I could get
out of here, I wouldn’t care too bad about the old hunk of junk. It
hasn’t been doing me too good lately anyway! I don’t want them doing
‘it’ too well lately either. I think maybe together we both got it
beat. But I think I’m bigger than my body. I can leave it, get out of
here and leave it behind, and I really believe at that moment, as I get
out, I’m going to feel real good. I don’t know about you, what
you’re thinking is, but I don’t mind letting my hair down and
telling what I believe. I believe it’s going to be great. It’s going
to be great just to leave this ol’ pesthouse. I’m not unhappy with
it in the sense that it hasn’t served me to a degree. Sure, it has.
But it’s been heir to ills and subject to temptation, which it was
only too happy to get into. You know, I think I was like the farmer’s
pig: Every time the farmer met the pig, he booted the pig in the ribs
and the guy said, “What for?”

	“Well,” he said, “it’s either coming out of mischief or going
into it!”

	I think that’s... So, I’m glad to give my body a boot with the help
of the Lord. I know you are, too.

45.	I know we don’t understand every mystery, every feeling, but we do
know something inside of us. We went toward that truth, and,
brother/sister, many people thought they had it; but, when the Word
came, it vanished. Oh, they still believe they have that in there, that
feeling and all, but it isn’t going to work. It’s got to come by the
renewed mind: the Word of God bringing us to that place of perfect
faith, demonstrating to us…Never mind the world: The world will never
believe it…but demonstrating to us in our own faith, like Abraham and
that assurance of faith: I know I’m a son of God. There is my
evidence. I understand, I believe, I know. So, that’s it this morning.

	The Lord bless you, and we’ll just rise and be dismissed.

	Heavenly Father, we thank You for the time of fellowship we’ve had
with Your lovely children here, knowing that the prophet, vindicated,
told us the truth, and there is a place for us, Lord. And I know that we
could be in that little hazy realm the disciples were when they met You
in the Resurrection and saw You and felt You and hugged You and
restrained You to stay and then met You later on—but they were still
foggy.

	But there came a day when the fog lifted and everyone walking in that
Light which was positively assured to them when You were here. And they
walked in It, and, Lord, they went down that road with a clarity and
understanding to meet their Maker and their God as has not been seen, I
believe, except in a few people through the ages. And now, today, it
returns on this earth where we, too, may be in a bit of a fog in-between
but, Lord, that Light, once having broke through the gloomy clouds of
this hour, shining upon our hearts, is going to bring us right into what
the prophet said under vindication, “Absolutely we know that we’re
in Him and Him in us and we are united, walking in the Light as He is in
the Light and have fellowship, going up to be with that Spirit amongst
us that’s going to be incarnated, to crown Him King of kings and Lord
of lords.”

	And, Lord, we know that that hope has been assured unto us and proven
by the vindication we have seen. Lord, let your people never, ever
depart one iota, but increase daily in magnitude concerning the truth of
the vindication of this hour. And we believe it. And, Lord, we know that
is our portion. That is what we do: We believe what has been done for us
and receive it and bless Your Name for it.

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

	“Take the Name of Jesus with You.”
