Unveiling of God #1

How It’s Done

September 21, 1985

	Shall we just pray. Heavenly Father, we’re again a privileged people
to be here in Your Presence. We know, Lord, You’re here. It’s a
great mystery. And yet Father, we believe the Truth as it was set forth
that the prophet’s message was to declare that You were here, knowing,
Lord, that it was a new Message, not a patch on an old garment.
Therefore, it was a new revelation of the Presence which he said, Lord,
happened three times in the history of man: Moses, Paul, and now.

	And Lord, we have every reason to believe that we are now meeting all
of the conditions of the Rapture, just waiting for a catching away. And
since we have entered into the first phase, and we know that none
plucked us out of Your hands; we know that the second and third phases
will certainly take place. As the prophet said three times, “Thus it
has been spoken, thus it shall be.”

	And so, Lord, we know that this Word that we have today is eternal, and
eternal in its concept, eternal in its fulfillment, and eternal in its
end that there’s not one jot or tittle going to fail, but it’s all
sustained by You. And we appreciate that very much. So therefore, Lord,
our faith is not of ourselves, but it is of You. A revelation is not of
ourselves, it is of You, and all things are of God. And we stand now in
that perfection in the last hour. We believe that, Lord. We don’t look
at ourselves, we look at You. And we know because of that the image is
going to appear.

	So Father, we just look to You this morning now, for a further study of
Your Word, a further deepening of our faith, more solid then ever,
coming like Abraham to full assurance. We know just where we stand as
the prophet brought it to us. We ask these mercies in Jesus Name. Amen. 

	You may be seated.

1.	Now, we’re going to go to “The Unveiling of God”. And I
didn’t get anything run off for you by the copier, but we might catch
up later on. I’m going to start on page 3, where Bro. Branham begins
the prayer, and he said:

[16]	Before reading, let’s pray.

[17] 	Lord Jesus, Thy Word is Truth. And in this troublesome hour that
we’re living, nation against nation, pestilence, earthquakes in many
places, man’s hearts failing, fear, we see the handwriting on the
wall. Now, that is in the natural realm, that all the world should see
this. But now there is a spiritual realm also, and we see the great
happenings, and we want to speak of them today.

	Now, you’ll notice in here you have parallelism of Scripture again
where he says there, “This is in the natural.” And what they see in
the natural, then, there has to be a spiritual for it, particularly if
you are in a junction period, a time where something is going on, as we
know that It says in 1 and 2 Peter both, this ‘epical season’. Now,
this is the hour of the appearing and the coming of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and this is what he’s talking about. And you see the signs
fulfilled in the physical, so therefore, there has to be the signs
fulfilled in the spiritual. And, as always, people don’t get the
spiritual. They see the physical, but they can’t get the spiritual.
The spiritual is reserved for the elect.

2.	So, remember; there is always cursing and blessing. And I tried to
show you that from some Scripture. I never did go into it thoroughly
with you, but you’ll find in the Bible, always, there is Mount Ebal,
which is evil and cursing, and Mount Gerizim, which is blessing. And
you’ll notice that on there, the twelve sons were divided up. 

	And I kind of look at that today to realize that the Bride realizes all
the blessings, and she gets caught away in the Rapture, like It says,
“A thousand shall fall at thy left, and ten thousand at thy right and
it shall not come near thee.” Now, that could be the AIDS; it could be
any type of plague, but it looks like it’s got to be something coming
out of Sodom and Gomorra. And since the Church has gone the way of Sodom
and Gomorra, they’ve got to be judged. So, you see judgment, and you
see blessing. 

	Now the point is, everybody can look at the judgment side and see this
out here in nature. And they know something’s happening, but what was
not done in a corner, the tremendous ministry of Bro. Branham, has been
swept to one side. See? Now, that’s what he’s saying here, but now
there is something in the spiritual realm. He said “great
happenings,” and we want to speak of them today. And you’ll notice
the subject is “The Unveiling of God”. There’s something great
happening, and that’s an unveiling of God. You follow me? Now you want
to watch his prayers? 

3.	Now,

[18]	Bless Thy Word to our hearts.

	In other words, there is something going to come out of the Word, now,
that’s going to be parallel to the judgments and the problems that the
Word says will be here. Okay.

[18]	We know that there’s no man in heaven or in earth is worthy to
take this Book, to loose the seals, or to look upon It even. But there
was One appeared, a slain Lamb, bloody, that came and took the Book, and
was worthy and able to open It. 

	Remember the Lamb of God shut the book back there in the time of His
ministry on earth, you know, back in Luke 4. Now he shut the Book as a
human being. He would have to be the same one, glorified, to come and
open that Book, to take It again. And remember; that was the acceptable
year of the Lord at that time, which it was. And when the book opens
again, there is to be judgment. But also, there is to be a blessing with
it, at the same time, to comfort them that mourn and so on—to tell
Zion, hey look, this is the hour for your redemption.

	So you see, you’ve got all these things coming upon the earth. But It
says, “Look up, for thy redemption draweth nigh.” Now, that
redemption’s not going to be the clouds breaking—hallelujah, there
He is.” Your redemption lies in revelation. Do you follow me? Now,
that’s what He’s bringing out here, so we want to watch this
carefully. It’s not the bleeding Lamb that’s here this morning;
it’s Jesus in the form of the Holy Spirit and the Pillar of Fire.
Okay? 

4.	Now.

[18]	…open Thy Word to our hearts today for comfort.

	See, for comfort. Notice over here it’s not comfort; men’s hearts
are failing for fear. But here it’s comfort. See? Remember; we brought
Scripture out in 2 Thessalonians 1, “And to you who are troubled rest
with us, relax at this time.” Bro. Branham said under the Seventh Seal
is relaxation. Okay:

[18]	We are Your servants. Forgive our sins, Lord. And anything that
would keep the Word from going forth with great power and influence
today on our lives, take it away, Lord; any hindrance, that we might
have full access to all the blessings promised to us through Thy Word.
We ask it in Jesus’ Name.

	Now, you notice in here that He’s invoking God to bring into effect,
with no hindrances, we getting all hindrances out of the way, through
the Blood and all that which God has given us to give us redemption, so
that having the access to the Word, the blessings which the Word has
pronounced will, then, be in us and for us. 

5.	Now, look. A lot of things for you doesn’t do you too much good.
Like Bro. Nelson talked about the light the other night, the diamond
flashing. Well, that’s very good; you can look at your wife’s
diamond all you want. And you can look at somebody else’s life and
this and that, but unless that life is in you, the light’s in you,
what good does it do? You know, let’s face it: except thine eye be
single you’ve got a lot of problems. And so therefore, you’ve got to
get your eye single to what is going on. Lift up your hearts, and get
away from all this other thing that’s out here, and just center
yourself on that Word and ask God, “Look, take everything out of my
life in order that this fullness of the Word and the blessings that are
therein may be mine.”

	Now Bro. Branham actually taught that. Now he told you that there’s
no evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost. There’s nothing physical;
there’s nothing emotional. And then, he said, “You grow up into
it.” Now, he never did say, “Hey, there’s no such thing as a
rebirth.” He never said that. Now, when you’ve got a rebirth, you
know positively that you must start growing according to 1 Peter and
come into the full stature.

6.	Now, Bro. Branham absolutely, in my books, exonerated, what I call,
the old Puritan concept, or the Keswick Conference concept. Now, this is
foreign to most of you people, because you wanted to traipse after men
like Patterson, McShane, Murray, and back in the days of Myers and those
men; especially the Gordons: S.D. and A.J. Gordon. And I think it was,
S.D. who wrote “The Quiet Talks” with A.J., who pastored at
Boston—men of that caliber.

	And what they would say was this, now you see a little stream of water,
and this water is very shallow, and there are lots of rocks. Oh my, it
makes some noise like a kettle; bubble, bubble, babble, babble, noise,
noise, noise. Now you get a really deep river, and way above the rocks
and all…and it doesn’t run with a lot of noise. So, right there, the
rivers signify there are two kind of Christians; all those that have the
empty wagon shout, and a lot of rocks, you know, and those that have the
full depth of the Lord and the deepness of God, they’re moving in the
spirit.

7.	Now the Keswick Conference practice… And I think Edwin Orr also is
in that category as a modern preacher, and perhaps, Ravenhill, no doubt,
men like that. Now they say, listen; here’s what it’s all about: you
take a bottle, then you fill it full of rocks. All right, now you start
pouring in water. That would be the initial baptism with Holy Ghost. You
follow me? Okay, you pour in the water, and you say the bottle is full
of water. Oh, no it’s not; it’s full of water and rocks. Now you
start taking out the rocks one by one, and you keep pouring in water.
See? And there comes a time when there’s no more rocks; it’s all
water.

8.	Now you’ll see, that’s what Bro. Branham was preaching for the
end time. You get rid of your unbelief, you get rid of these things that
are in there, and you keep pouring the Word in. The life in the Word
will bring you to the place where you are completely sealed in by God.
Now, you see, well, that’s a true baptism of the Holy Ghost. Well, the
other’s just true. But you’re coming out; you’re the spirit-filled
dominated life. Now, that’s what Bro. Branham is presenting here, in
my understanding, and trying to help us. And may, by the grace of God,
we get all of these things out of our lives so there is no… 

	We’ll see that in 2 Corinthians later on, there again; but get
everything out of our lives that would hinder the moving of the Holy
Spirit, because there is nothing worth retaining, to get the good things
of God. Remember, the man sold everything he had to get the pearl of
great price. See, the Bible is strong on that. Remember; many people
say, “Well, all of God or nothing.” Now, that’s not true. That’s
not true. You can be saved and still make the White Throne. 

9.	But Bride is a different category, and God expects the best out of
her. And whom He loves, He chastens. He wants to bring us to a
perfection and that perfection, as I preach here, and try to preach
here, you’ve got to start with this Word because there’s where the
life is. 

	Now I don’t care how mechanical people think and say “Well, I
don’t like your church, Bro. Vayle, where you and Bro. Klassen are,
because you’re not noisy enough.” 

	You can have all the noise you want. You can scream all you want, but
just be very careful. Just be very careful. 

	You say, “Well, we like a lot of miracles.” 

	I’m happy for healings. I want them just as desperately as anybody.
But Bro. Branham said, “If you receive this Message,” he said,
“believe this Message for your healing.” Now, that’s going to tell
us something right there. Now, I’m looking at that with all I can, and
I’m going to look at it more, by the grace of Almighty God. 

10.	Now, all right. There’s a lot of things people look at and they
say, “I want this, and I want that, the other thing.” But the great
thing, as I was saying here, the mechanical has within it the spiritual.
It has the dynamics. 

	And you can take a walnut. And that walnut… I want to tell you, the
walnut’s a very funny, funny bird. It’s a nut you know. It’s a
very funny thing. And you get a walnut here, a walnut tree, and you just
try to grow something in your garden with a walnut tree; you aren’t
going to grow a thing. It’s a killer. Now you take that old walnut and
lay it out there, and it looks like a killer, and it certainly does
separate. It just kills everything around it, but there’s a life in
there.

	Now, you get the walnut of God, it’ll kill everything around you,
because that’s what that life in that mechanical thing… You see,
that’s the mechanical part I’m talking about. But you let that thing
begin to move, and it begins moving out here and just gets all the junk
out of our lives, so the life can be there. 

11.	So, what we’re saying here is: look; I’m trying to believe like
Bro. Branham, hoping I’m preaching the same thing. Look. God, You give
us this Word here, and You give us vessels that are the ground of God.
He said, “If you get the ground that’s got the right
fertilizer…” He used the word fertilized, which is the verb—the
right fertilizer. And he said, …“That’s been given so that that
life that’s in there can draw and bring it forth.” See? Now,
you’re going to go from the life to the chemistry. All right.

12.	Now, first of all, you’ve got, like a chemistry. That’s true.
Then that chemistry breaks down; it’s fed to us. See? Then the life
begins to come out through another chemistry, which is the life of the
Word in the soul through the spirit and the mind, in the body. Now, what
are you going to have if you don’t have the real thing? 

	“Well,” you say, “I’ve got a walnut here, and I can see that if
I… This nut here’s got to be walnut, because I’ll tell you what I
did. I soaked it in sulfuric acid. Now, you watch it kill everything.”


	Hogwash. No, it ain’t going to work. That’s why, brother/sister,
I’ve got this confidence, (And I can be wrong, but I don’t believe I
am.) if we have this mechanical Word, the dynamics must come forth,
because where else is It? Whose Word is It? Who gave It? Upon what
conditions? What ground’s It falling in? He said, You’re God’s
husbandry; you’re God’s field; you’re God’s planting.” 

13.	So, I’ll read Bro. Branham’s prayer here. He said:

[18]	…anything that would keep the Word from going forth with great
power and influence today on our lives, take it away, Lord, …

	Well, who did he say? Did he say, “I’m going to take it away?” 

	He said, “No, Lord, you take it away.”

	You let the poison that’s in that Word… Now, remember. Bro. Branham
said the doctor treats you; he’s got to have a poison and an antidote.
It goes only so far. And the killing of God in your life and mine is to
destroy the powers of sin. And if we refuse to listen, He’ll take us
up all the way. Then He begins pouring in the life.

	And so, it’s just like getting those rocks out of there, those things
out of our life. Weeding, weeding out. Why do you think God weeds out
the church? To get a Bride. You talk about weeding out after a bit. See?
So, I’m looking at this thing here:

14.	[18]	…that we might have full access to all the blessings promised
to us through Thy Word. 

	See? So we’re looking for the great promises. Now, that’s his
prayer, and it has to do with the unveiling of God. And he reads in
Philippians: [Phil 2:1-8]

(1)	If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of
love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels of mercies,

(2)	Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love,
being of one accord, of one mind.

	Now he tells you right there, he said if you’ve got anything from God
at all that resembles any love, any fellowship, any mercy, you’ve got
anything of those; he said fulfill my joy, ye be likeminded. In other
words, strive to have one mind. Now, that doesn’t mean simply voting
on something, but you can see where Bro. Branham took a vote. And he
said the voice of God is in the majority, providing the majority have
God. 

	I mean, Bro. Branham just didn’t go up for election and say
“That’s it.” He panned that one place, and then he explained how
you could have it right. There’s always a right and a wrong to
everything.

15.	(3)	Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than themselves.

	Now, that is a tricky verse that I believe we all should all try to
follow. There’s some difficulty in there, but that is very necessary.
Nothing for show; nothing to be anybody, but always lowly in mind and
always think somebody’s better than you are. Now I’m not saying that
you got to have inferiority complexes. I’m just telling you this:
It’s always easy if you have anything in you, to admire what you see
in somebody that’s really right and good, and especially when you
realize your own shortcomings. Now, somebody who thinks he’s way up
there, he’ll never admire anybody because he’s so full of arrogance
and pride; he’s like the devil.

	Oh, listen. I don’t want to get carried away with that. I keep my
spirit down. That’s the way to do it.

16.	(4)	Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the
things of others.

	Now, that means to have an open, willing heart to help, but doesn’t
mean to be a sucker.

(5)	Let this mind…

		Or Jesus could have, then, saved two thieves. You’ve got to be
discriminating. They don’t like that word ‘discrimination’, but I
do. Now, like Bro. Branham said, “I’m a segregationist. Not the way
people said, by color, but by Holy Spirit.”

(5)	Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

(6)	Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal
with God…

	“Not a prize to be grasped and retained.” That word, that’s not
‘robbery’. Come on. How do you steal what’s your own? How could
Jacob steal what was his own? I don’t care what the flesh said;
let’s find out what God said. You know, election, brother/sister; not
by some little papal dogma or Protestant dogma. 

17.	(6)	Who, being in the form of God… (He’s just…entire, was
Spirit), thought it not a prize to be grasped and retained, to just stay
in that form

(7)	But made himself of no reputation (Now that’s a slap in the face.)
and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of
men:

(8)	And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

[20]	Now, if we shall turn now over to 2 Corinthians 3, we will begin
with the sixth verse, and reading this to the eighteenth, and down to
part of chapter 4.

(6)	Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of
the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit
giveth life.

	Now, he’s talking about the unveiling of God. Now, first of all, he
tells you, in reading in Philippians, what actually happened. And
he’ll speak of that as ‘the veil’. Now he turns around and speaks
of a ministry. You understand what I’m saying? He’s speaking of a
minister with a ministry, and he’s talking about the unveiling.

18.	Do you hear what I said? Huh? Or do you really hear what I said?
I’m not making this hard so I can puzzle you. I’m just hoping that
you heard what I said. One and one are two. Three and three are six.
Now, he’s talking about ‘unveiling’. Who’s going to do it?
He’s going to do it. Now, he said, “What’s to be unveiled?”
This—in Philippians. Now, how’s it going to be done? He’s telling
you. Do you follow me?

(6)	Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the
letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit gives
life.

	Now he’s going to tell you something in there that doesn’t require
revelation. Right?

(7)	But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones,
was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly
behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory
was to be done away:

(8)	How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather…or, no
comparison in glory.

	Now, he’s talking about something He’s going to do. Now Moses was
there doing something, and it said—look, that brought death. Yeah.
“I kill and I make alive.” 

	God does bring death. He brings death to your flesh and death to your
senses and death to your desires, but He brings life to your soul. See?
All right. 

	Now, thou shalt not do it; thou shall do and won’t do it. Okay.

19.	Now he said here:

(8)	How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
(much more glorious; no comparison) 

(9)	For if the ministration of condemnation be glorious, much more doth
the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 

	Now, look. Paul already went through that in the Book of Romans.
Let’s just take a look at it. I’m not in any rush; I figure this is
going to take days and days and… You know, I’m not worried. If you
get worried, I’m sorry for you. All right, he says here in Rom 5:15:

(15)	But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through
the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the
gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded to many.

(16)	And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the
judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many
offences unto justification.

	Well, what about this hour that he’s talking about? Everything out
here in the world is condemned and shot. And what happens to us?
“Little Bride, you’re the virtuous, righteous, sinless Bride of the
Lord Jesus Christ.” You didn’t even do it. Perfect justification!
Grace overflowing! 

	What did he say about this age? He said not one good thing about this
age. This is the age that is utterly dark: wretched, miserable, blind,
naked, stinks! Why, he said you’re the filthiest bunch of tripe I’ve
ever seen in my life.

20.	Like Bro. Branham saw that harlot out of America. He said, “Oh,
God, is this what we produced?” That’s right. You talk about grace.
Little Bride comes by just like the first Bride. 

	You know, people get confused; they say, “Well, I say with Bro.
Branham, we got a…” [Short two second blank spot on tape]…

	And they say, “Well, just a minute. Ephesus was the fallen bride.” 

	No, she wasn’t to begin with, honey. I’m not going back to some
semi-prostitute, some… “Well, just a little bit pregnant.” Ha! 

	I don’t want to get tough, but let’s get this down to business,
brother/sister. Bro. Branham said there’s a repeat of Ephesus. And
Bro. Paul, the apostle, said, you have everything that it takes. May He
now come and give you what you need. We’ve got it. Under what? Grace!
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound…a wretched whore, like me.”
Yeah. 

	A prostitute to everything that’s clean and holy to God. That’s why
in the Word of God, God tells you about the old harlot, Rahab. How many
customers she had I don’t care, and I care less whether Israelites
used her themselves for entertainment. That’s their business. She
married a general, became a progenitor of David.

	“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound.”

21.	It says right here:

(17)	For if by one man’s offense, death reigned by [one]; much more
they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

	What’s he telling you right there? He’s telling you there, the last
plague is death! But who’s on the scene? Life! I am the resurrection
of him that believeth in me, though the whole bunch is dead, yet shall
he live. And he that liveth and believeth in me shall never perish. Do
you believe this in this hour? Immortality, the Son of Righteousness,
risen with healing in His wings? You better believe it because that’s
the Word of God.

	“Time and decay in all the world I see.” I forget that anyway. I
wish I could remember that hymn. Time and decay in all He sees, but Thou
who… I forget. “…abide with me,” I guess I could remember if I
tried hard enough, “Abide with me” at this end time. And He is.

22.	(18)	Therefore as by the offense of one, judgment came upon all men
to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one, the free gift came
upon all men unto justification…

	See, right back to justification. Judicate: What does it mean?
‘Declared righteous, sin totally divorced, sin burned out’.

(19)	For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by
the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (He took the Book.
See?)

(20)	Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where
sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

(21)	That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign
through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

	Okay. I don’t have all my notes. It’s okay. I might not even be
able to find it here. That’s my trouble, I’ll look for stuff and I
can’t even find it. If I had a good memory, it would be all right.
Anyway, I was just going to read out of Peter here. It might be first or
second, about the grace that is revealed in these last times. It’s
likely 2 Peter. But it doesn’t matter. At His appearing, that’s what
we look at here. All right. 

23.	Now, going back to what Bro. Branham read. Now, he said:

(10)	For even that which was made glorious has no glory in this respect,
by reasons of the glory that excelleth.

	Now, what is he saying? Bro. Branham said, “He comes in clouds of
glory.” And he said, “Oh, what a glory (He said) that was when
Luther broke on the scene above the Catholics.” Now, remember; the
Roman Catholic Church had a glory in it, in certain sporadic ways, on
the grounds that there were certain men that God used all the time that
protested the church. They were saints of God. Don’t think they
weren’t. 

	The Bride did not; the Bride did not die in the middle. She was alive
at both ends. You just don’t worry about the middle. See? And the
Church Ages took care of it. But now the Seals take us back to where we
need to be, which is Ephesus, back to virgin Bride.

24.  Now, he said here, “Luther’s glory superseded that which was
there. Wesley’s glory superseded Luther. Pentecost superseded Wesley,
but oh, what a glory this will be; it will never fade.” That’s why I
tried to tell people when I preached on the Parousia and tried to bring
in all those words… And I’m not a Greek scholar. I don’t pretend
to be. But I’ve got enough, hopefully, enough Holy Ghost, to be able
to help people with a little, tiny measure of whatever gift I’ve got.

	And then, they’re trying to bring up, “Look, all of these things
have started. Where is it going?” 

	It is going to take us right to Him where we crown Him King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. But that’s all right. People don’t understand.
That’s all right by me.

25.	I heard a brother preach on a tape not long ago, or my wife did. And
she (I didn’t have time to listen). She didn’t get that far. And she
got there where this brother said, “Look,” he said. He said,
“we’ve known that He’s here.” He said, “And, if these people
that have to make so much,” he said, “of grace, and the fact that he
is here.” He said, “We’ve always known it.” And he said, “How
come they weren’t preaching years ago?”

	If I’ve always known it, and everybody always knew it, there’s a
good question in how we’re splitting churches. If they already have
it, they should be happy that we’ve simply come along and shared a
little knowledge. You see, if you’ve got it… Well, that’s enough
said.

26.	(12)	Seeing then that we have such hope (or earnest expectation), we
use great plainness of speech:

(13)	And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children
of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is
abolished…

	Now, notice. It says they “could not…look to the end of that which
is abolished,” showing you absolutely, that the glory that Moses had,
had to fail. Do you understand what I’ve been saying? Well, that’s
what he’s saying here. He’s not saying something else. Now I know
they couldn’t look upon Moses’ face because it was so bright. But
don’t worry, they could have stood it.

	But this tells you, and Bro. Branham also brings this out, but it
doesn’t sound like it in spots. It sounds like Bro. Branham disagrees
with what is actually there in the Greek; but he doesn’t. It says,
“to the end” that was going to go. So, what was the use of looking
at it anyway? Only as the type for down the road. See? [2 Cor 3:14-18]

(14)	But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same
veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is
done away in Christ.

	Now there’s no veil there. Now, there’s got to be an unveiled time
of coming. Now, remember; there are ministers that do this. He has made
us able ministers of the New Testament. There’s got to be somebody
that’s going to be able to take this and present Him. Now I don’t
care what anybody says. I don’t give a rip what anybody says. This is
the Word of God. 

27.	(15)	Now… But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is
upon their heart.

(16)	Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be
taken away. (Now, what’s in the heart,? The soul. When that turns,
it’s gone.)

(17)	Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.

(18)	But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the
Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by
the Spirit of the Lord.

	Now, somebody has got to bring us a ministry of Word, because Moses was
Word. Moses was a prophet; this’ll be a prophet. Someone’s got to
bring us a ministry that will unveil Him in that Word. And when we see
Him, we’ll be like Him. We’ll see Him as He is. [2 Cor 4:1-2]

28.	(1)	Therefore seeing we have this ministry…

	Who’s we? Prophet Paul. Nobody else has got it. “Just think, the
same Pillar of Fire that gave the Word, is here revealing the Word.”
Three times he said, “As God spake face-to-face with Moses and with
Paul, and so now.” And somebody’s got a ministry that’s going to
do this.

	You say, “Bro. Vayle, how do I know I’ve got the Holy Ghost.” 

	If you disagree with this, you ain’t got the Holy Ghost. I could say
you haven’t any Holy Ghost and be perfectly grammatical. Who cares
with your grammar, pickled and oiled anything else you want.

29.	2 Corinthians 4:

(1)	Therefore se eing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy,
we faint not;

(2)	But have renounced the hidden things (Now, watch.) and the
dishonest, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the Word of God
deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves
(He’s got ‘condemning’, but it’s ‘commending’ ourselves.) to
every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 

	Now It tells you right there that Paul the apostle had something,
absolutely truth in a perfectly truthful vessel, which I can tell you
right now, he’d have to be in a tube. He’d have to be like Balaam. 

30.	Now, there’s an example right there. Never mind Moses. Moses
wasn’t a bird like Balaam. But Balaam gets up, and he says,
“Well,” he says, “I’m a prophet.” He says, “I can see those
birds there, and I know what they’re like.” He said, “It’d be
easy to curse them, old Balak, old boy.” And he gets there and he
opens his mouth, and he couldn’t say one thing. He was in a tube. 

	So, Balak said, “Walk and look in the backyard, the hinder
parts…” it seems like. He said, “everybody’s got bad points.”
Balak ought to know that he didn’t have any good points. And the only
good point Balaam had was on top of his head. 

	So, he went down there, he was going to curse Israel. He opened his
mouth and he couldn’t. He was in a tube; he couldn’t do one thing.
All right.

31.	This man here is telling you he is in a tube. But thank God for the
kind of tube that he’s got. It’s the prophetic tube that he can’t
say anything but what is right. And furthermore, he’s got the virtues
and the fruit where he wouldn’t want to say anything but what is
right. You don’t have a paragon of virtues; you just simply have a
virtuous man.

32.	Now he said, “I am showing you that this ministry commends us to
every man’s conscience in the sight of God, and this one here, being
revealed, manifested.” And then he said, (3)“But if our gospel be
hid…” Notice, he said, “our gospel.” It is hid to them which are
lost. Now, remember; this could not happen till the last hour because
Bro. Branham is talking about it for his hour.

	Now you say, “Bro. Vayle, that took place back there.” 

	I don’t care if it did. That’s what’s wrong with people. They
can’t see the alpha and omega principle. They can’t see the
compounding of Scripture, except they have a compound meaning. 

	Now, Bro. Branham puts this into the compound: the descent, and He came
down. In fact I’ll read to you, I believe in this message, where Bro.
Branham says He descended to the earth. You do what you want. I’ve got
to believe the Word of God.

33.	Now comes the unveiling. Now comes the manifestation. Now comes the
revelation. Now comes the excellent glory, the unsurpassed glory. Every
glory brought you to the place where if you died, you came out of the
ground. This one takes you right back to the garden where Adam could
have put forth his hand and taken the Tree of Life, but then he
forfeited that. And now we stand right here perfectly justified,
perfectly righteous. Not innocent, perfectly righteous. We are not
innocent. We’re righteous. 

	Adam was innocent, he wasn’t righteous. That’s not my thinking
that’s the theological terminology, which is very true. I gather that
from scholars, and it’s true. We are righteous; we are not innocent.

	The Bible says we have ourselves exercised by good and evil. We’ve
gone through the rough spots, the evil spots, so therefore we know how
to keep away from it. We’re exercised now by righteousness, by the
grace of Almighty God. All right.

34.	Now, let’s keep going. He said:

[21] 	May the Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word. 

[22]	Now, my subject this morning, I trust that God will reveal this.
(Reveal what? What is right here.) And each time, if you who take the
tapes and listen, and I hope and trust that—that you have had a
spiritual understanding of what that God has been in trying to get over
to the church without saying it right out. See?

	Now, why would Bro. Branham say that something is going to be said,
without saying it right out? Now, that’s what he said. Now he tells
you he’s going to bring something here but he’s not saying it right
out. Right? Well, that’s what he said. Now, why would he not speak
this out plain, except that it involves himself? Yeah. Well, he’s
talking about a ministry that’s going to do it. This is it: who come
down. He can’t come down and get with nail prints. He can’t take
upon himself the form of man, being the Son of man. You know what I
mean: with the body. 

35.	Now, we got this coming up here. You will see that this message
follows in perfect line with what I’ve be dealing with in about six
other sermons of Bro. Branham’s, combining some, particularly the last
one, “Events Made Clear by Prophecy”.

	Thus, it is not so much doctrine… It is not so much doctrine or
theology as it is his own position and relationship with both God and
God’s unveiling. Well, come on. Didn’t he say Moses-God? Didn’t he
talk about Word? Didn’t he mention Presence? Didn’t God come down?
What’s he doing: running a parallel. That’s Acts 3. We may get to It
later. See? 

	This sets the tenor and principle of this message, if this is so. Then,
you won’t be looking to know all about God from this message, because
evidently you don’t need to know that. You need to know what is done
and how it’s done. And, if you go along with it, evidently, like we
said many occasions, quoting Bro. Branham, you are a believer. You are
not a believer any other way. Because, your creeds and dogmas, you can
believe them all you want; they’re not going to do you a bit of good.
That’s ministry of death. “Thou shall join the church.” What for?
See?

36.	Note, the title is “Unveiling”, not doctrine of Godhead per se,
but like the Rapture, wherein he said, “I will now preach on and
reveal the conditions of the Rapture.” What did he say about the
Rapture itself? Why, it’s not even in the Bible. It means ‘a
catching away, a catching up’. That’s right; that’s ‘rapture’.


	How much did he speak about the catching up? Ha! Out of the hour and
half to two hours, about five minutes. What did he speak about? The
conditions. Then, if you are one with the conditions, you’re believing
you are one with the Rapture, because everybody else is going to turn it
down.

37.	Now, he will preach here in such a way that people will turn it
down, and others will believe. He’s going to tell you, then, about how
it is done, not so much what is done, not so much the Who, as to how the
Who is revealed. And his will be a relationship because he says, “Here
is a ministry.” It involves a ministry.

	Oh, people don’t like that. “Oh, blessed Holy Spirit, reveal it to
me.” It’s always that. “Aren’t I somebody, Lord?” 

	Oh, you certainly are.

	I’m so tempted to say some nasty things here, but I’m not going to.
I’ll give you a magazine instead that says it for me. It’s
perfectly, beautifully done. It comes in my Arizona magazine, what they
do out in Arizona. It’s perfectly legal and nothing dirty about it;
it’s just that this is what it is. You kind of figure it out for
yourself. [Bro. Vayle comments about getting the magazine.] Everybody
want to buy the magazine, now. Ain’t worth your time. All right.

38.	[22]	Listen. I hope and trust that—that you have had a spiritual
understanding of what that God has been in trying to get over to the
church without saying it right out. See? It’s a thing sometime... We
have to say things in such a way, that it might thin down, it might
bring some to go out, some to leave, and some to ponder over. But
that’s done purposely. It must be done that way.

	Now he’s warning you. I’m going to say some things right here.
He’s going to tell you that you can run with and destroy yourself. You
can turn up your nose and walk away. You can say, “I can’t take
that,” or you may say, “Well, I’m thinking it over.” 

	Or you can make a decision that Paul already based the decision on: you
saw it manifested that “I’ve got the authority to say it.” And you
can say, “Well, hey, if anybody can say it, he can say it, and I know
he’s the one to say it.”

	You won’t be like the brother who said, “Well, I’ll tell you
what: I believe that Elijah was already John the Baptist, but if I
believe Elijah were to come again like John the Baptist, Bro. Branham
would get my vote.”

	Well, isn’t that nice? Well, I’ve got to think that I could do it
without that. I think it’s very good now, mind you. That’s just
wonderful that man went that far, but close only counts in horseshoes.
You know, you could even get a little leaner and somebody can knock that
off there. It’s pretty hard to knock off a ringer though. In God’s
horseshoe, the ringers aren’t knocked off.

39.	[23]	Then it might be that some would say, “You mean God would
purposely do a thing like that?” He certainly did, and He does yet.

	Why? Because He’s yesterday the same, and forever. Now, he’s using
great emphases here without saying I am Elijah. So, we’ll just go back
here a little second, way back, you know, take a little peek back here
to page 29 and paragraph 184. And he says:

[184] 	Oh, brother/sister, are you catching it? Look. Don’t you see?
It’s been veiled through these ages according to what God said, and It
would be opened in the last days; those seven seals would be broken, and
the full thing would come into view of the people, what’s took place
all along. The hour of the seventh angel’s message, all the mysteries
of God should be made known in that Elijah, in this last hour: how that
Christ is put out of His church, the Son of God; how He’s revealed as
the Son of man again; how that the church is to be put in order… 

	Now, that doesn’t just mean tongues in a room. Now, that’s order.
‘Order’ means ‘order, under the full leadership of the headship of
the Holy Ghost with the proper five-fold ministry and the people
enjoying the presence of God’.

[184]	…and everything for the last day, and no creed, no
denominations, just absolutely the Word living in the individual.

	That’s the life released from what is the mechanical. Now, if you
turn down the mechanical, which is Bro. Branham’s Message, you’re
shot, according to what he said. And he’s vindicated. Now, this is the
thing you’ve got to come to understand. This is what the…

40.	Listen. I’m going to tell you something. You say, “Well, Bro.
Vayle, why don’t you just step a little higher with us and study some
more and get it someplace else?” 

	I am preaching from the last sermons that Bro. Branham actually
preached. And I found out years ago that forty to sixty percent, if not
more, of everything he said, was on this line. So therefore, there’s
something a whole lot deeper than, “Yes, I believe the prophet. Oh,
well, this is fine.” No sir. We’re going to preach this till it
catches fire in me and you both, because that’s what it’s all about.
Now, notice:

 [184]	…living in the individual. (Now, listen what his quote is on
that.) “I’ll take one and leave one.

	What’s the one He’s going to leave? The one that turned down the
mechanics wherein lay the dynamics. You can’t have the one without the
other. Before the dynamics came, God said, “Let there be light.”
That’s the mechanics. What was the dynamics? The light. 

	Brother Branham, in the last great sermon he preached, “The
Rapture”: “Thus it has been spoken; thus it shall be.” Three times
he said it. And it wasn’t once for the Father and once for the Holy
Ghost and once for the Son. God’s in perfection.

41.	Now, he said:

[184]	 I’ll take this; I’ll leave that one.”

	Now, which one’s he going to take? The one that believes the Seals,
the Seven Thunders.

[184]	See? There’s no strings, no denominations, no bindings or
nothing, “it’s the heart with God and with Him alone.

	Well, how do you know you’ve got Him alone? I’ll tell you: when the
vessel’s completely full of the Word and the dynamics in the Word’s
being released. Get rid of the rocks and the bumps and those things.
Come on down. 

	There are no big shots here. Why do you think I turned everything back
to the church? It’s your baby, not mine anymore. 

	You say, “Bro. Vayle, you’re reneging.” 

	I’m reneging nothing. I’m smarting up. I’ve gone through my hell
to get this far, and it’s not very far yet.

42.	[24]	He said one day, when He had five thousand around Him; he said,
“Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of God, Son of man, and drink
His Blood, you have no Life in you.”

	Now, you will notice in here that he’s running a parallel, because he
said, “The Elijah of this hour is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself; not a
man, God; but it will come by a prophet.” Okay.

	Now, this is a hard saying that Jesus gave. I just read it to you.
Notice, Jesus identified Himself and His position and purpose. He’d
identified Himself, identified His position, and now He’s identifying
a purpose. Sacrifice. Eat the flesh and drink the blood. See? 

	Brother Branham, as Elijah, must do the same thing. Now he can’t say,
“Eat my flesh and drink my blood,” but he can tell you flat that
nothing outside of this message will come to life. And you’ll say,
“Don’t give me that junk.” 

	Now, he’s talking to a Bride. There’s a big difference.

43.	[25]	What kind of a statement do you think that a medical doctor or
a nurse, or any fine intellectual person would think of a statement like
that, for a man that had a ministry like that?

	Oh, come on! Well, they said, “This Jesus was great, but he’s nuts!
I don’t know how he operates. Man, look what he threw down the drain!
He’s crazy!” 

	“Much learning,” they said to Paul, “much learning made you
mad!” They said Jesus was mad. They said, “He’s a devil.” Well,
they said, “Is not this the Son of David?” They said, “No, he’s
not that son, he’s the other one.” Israel still knows there’s
going to be an antichrist. 

	I’ll play that tape one of these days, actually, red heifer. Don’t
worry; we’ll get around to it. Give me the time, give me time. Hope
we’re not all dead by the time my time comes up. Just tell me to do it
some time, and I’ll bring it down, and we’ll do it. See? All right.

44.	Let’s go to John 14. We’re down toward the bottom of that page.
I hope that your Bible is like mine. Verse 10: [Jn 14:10]

(10)	Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself: but the Father
that dwells in me, and he doeth the works by the way.

(11)	Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else
believe me for the very works’ sake.

	“Oh,” they said, “Look at the great works.” 

	He said, “I’ve been producing them, and you know I’ve got to have
something nobody else has. Won’t you listen to what’s behind it?” 

	“Oh,” they said, “Shut up. Just give us the works. ‘Nit, nat,
yap, yap;’ we’re tired of ‘yap, yap, yap.’ We’d sooner have
Hillel.”

45.	Who’s Hillel? He’s the guy that said a man can divorce your wife
for any cause. And my wife woke up this morning, and she didn’t look
too pretty; boot her out and get yourself another one. That’s how
Israel was, that’s Israel, through the priesthood and through
everything.

	That’s where Sodom and Gomorra comes from. Too much sex, too much
women; then women don’t satisfy, now you go to men, and women to
women—herpes, AIDs. Thank God. Let it come! That’s the way to do it.
Let ’er do ’er. What are we going to worry? We’re not going to
worry: “Look up, your redemption draweth nigh.” I’m going to show
you: we’re not going to consume away in our bodies. We’re going in a
rapture. Get your eyes on that. See? 

46.	[25]	… for a man that had a ministry like He had?

	Don’t you know he’s talking about himself, William Branham? Who
could produce what he could produce? Not all of us put together. 

	“Oh, but he blew it. He thought he was Elijah. Ha, ha, ha! Us, lovely
fine fellows.” [said sarcastically]

[25]	Why, he would say, Eat the flesh? (That fellow being critical.)
That’s cannibal. (He wants us to be cannibals!) To drink human blood;
it’s a vampire. …He wants us to be cannibals and vampires.” And
the whole audience flocked away from Him. (They’re a flock, all right.
Eagles don’t flock; they just go one at a time.) And the whole
audience walked away from Him.

	Now, what about… What about this hour, when Bro. Branham, with his
miracles, turned around and said, “The prophet is God to the
people,” and said “He’s the living Word of God manifest,” and
“He’s God manifest in the flesh?” What do you think that did? 

	“Oh, he made himself God.” 

	Don’t think for one minute that people who made William Branham God,
or the Lord Jesus Christ didn’t have grounds for it, on the fact of
the misrepresentation of the Word that they heard when they saw the
miracles, because the ministry had to repeat. And the ministry had to
repeat to bring a perfect Word, to bring the body to the head
physically. It’s going to pull the dead out of the grave and change
you and me, praise God.

47.	Don’t worry about your shape and your change, brother/sister.
Abraham was in the worst shape he was in, one second before he was
changed. So, don’t get your thoughts mixed up.

[26]	And there was a ministerial association… (Called… Really,
should be pronounced ‘assasination’.) And there was a ministerial
assasination with Him, of seventy that had been chosen. (But they cut
His throat.) And He turned to them, and He said, “What will you think
when you see the Son of man ascending up…where He came from?”

	Now you can see, there are three groups of people there: those that
plumb walked off, those that had some instruction, and those that
wouldn’t walk off. Three types right there. So, you’ve got the
world, you’ve got the worldly church, (You can put the worldly church
there.) and you’ve got the foolish virgin and the wise virgin. 

	And notice there’s a response to the Word based upon vindication, the
same as Paul had. Now, remember; Paul presented, but he couldn’t
fulfill. He presented Ephesians; he presented this, but he couldn’t
fulfill it. There’s no way. No siree. No, no, no, no way. No sir, the
hour wasn’t there. That’s why there’s a Word for every hour, and
people don’t want to believe that. Okay.

48.	[26]	And He turned to them, and He said, “What will you think when
you see the Son of man ascending up…where He came from?” Now, He
didn’t explain that. He never explained how. (Paul did later on.)

	Well, I don’t know if Paul did it later on, exactly where he did it,
but maybe it’s over here in Ephesians 4. So, let’s take a look at
It. [Eph 4:7-11]

(7)	But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of
the gift of Christ.

(8)	Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity
captive, and gave gifts unto men.

(9)	(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first
into the lower parts of the earth?

(10)	He that descended, is the same also that ascended up far above all
heavens, that he might fill all things.)

(11)	And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.

	Now It tells you right there, that that is the Holy Spirit—that he
sent back the Holy Spirit. He came back in spirit form as the Holy
Spirit. 

49.	Now, over in Jn 1:18, he says:

(18)	No man has seen God…; the only begotten…, who is in the bosom
of the Father, he has (revealed) him.

	So, he’s telling you who is in the bosom of the Father. He’s turned
back to the Pillar of Fire, because Jesus is the fullness of the full
attribute bodily; he was in the physical form, the full attribute of
God, and now in the fire form, He’s still the full attribute of God.
Now, that’s quoting Bro. Branham. 

 	So, all right. We can look at that and perhaps understand that in a
measure, how that this is that One that went up and came down, and
he’s up there as the Holy Spirit. See? The Life that was in Jesus.
Like Bro. Branham brings out, God was in Christ. 

50.	Okay. Now he said:

[26]	He just said it. See? And then when this... He said, “What will
you say to these ministers when you see the Son of man ascending up from
where he come from?”

	Now, he said to them, to all of them, he said, “What are you going to
say when you see him?” Now, we know that bunch didn’t see him. Well,
we do know the apostles and certain numbers, up to five hundred, saw him
after his death, and maybe that number or more saw him go up. I don’t
know about that. Check the Book of Acts; you might see lesser numbers.
All right.

[27]	No doubt those men said, “Now, just a minute. We eat with Him. We
fish with Him. We sleep with Him. We know where He was born. We saw the
cradle that He was rocked in. … This is a hard saying.” 

	Now, the identification is always the tough part. Now, if people would
believe the identification, it would be great. But let’s face it,
there’s only one group that can, and that’s the elect. We’ll get
to that. 

51.	All right. “… a hard saying.” Now Bro. Branham’s talking
about himself at the end time—unveiling of God, talking about the One
that’s here. “I’m going to show Him to you.” Now:

[27]	…the Bible said they didn’t walk with Him any more;” they
left Him.

	Now, that’s just like the Pharisees and Scribes. You know, they’ll
say, “Hey now, if we would have been back there in the days of the
fathers, we would have stopped them from killing the prophets.” And he
said, “Look, you’re going to kill me. You’re the same bunch of
snakes and generation of vipers. See? Don’t try to pretty yourself
up.” He said, “You’re a bunch of sepulchers.” And he said,
“You’ve got pretty on the outside, and you’re rotten on the
inside.” 

	And that’s a good old hypocrite; you can be nice on the outside. Oh,
love this and do everything else, beautiful; just be rotten inside
because you turned the Word down—full of unbelief. Say you love God
and hate him. Make God a liar. Go right ahead. See, I hit that all the
time very, very hard. 

52.	John 15:24

(24)	If I had not done among them the works which none other man did,
they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and both hated me and
my Father.

	“Oh,” you say, “No, I love, I love.” 

	No you don’t; you hate. I don’t care what anybody says. 

	You say, “Well, Bro. Vayle, I’ve got to do some thinking.” 

	You do some thinking. Be my guest. I want you to start thinking. 

	We ought to check our lives out and see how much love we have, and how
much hate. See how much we’re in the Word. Ha! Maybe one finger, one
toenail. Brother Branham said, “You can’t have anything hanging
outside of Christ. You better get all in.” Yes sir, I think it’s
time that we get all in. I’m looking for it, bless God. I can’t see
a Bible that lies to me. 

53.	Now it says:

[28]	…they didn’t walk with Him any more…

	That’s the church. See? People lied about Bro. Branham, and they
still lie about him. 

	A certain brother went down to Texas and he began dealing with people
down there who said that they knew Bro. Branham. You should hear the
lies they told about him. They said he was hooked up with that bunch of
the School of the Prophets. God forbad him to go to the School of the
Prophets. And this guy believed all that claptrap and balderdash.
Nothing but lies. 

	People tell any lie about the prophet, and people just grab it up. Oh,
they won’t believe his own confession, his own testimony. If anybody
ought to know, William Branham ought to know. And if God backs a man up,
that’s a man you listen to, not some miscreant out here that calls
himself a preacher and a son of God. Son of what god? Come on, come on,
come on!

54.	Don’t let anybody fool you this late in the day, brother/sister.
They saw Bro. Branham’s early ministry. What did Dr. Davis do about
it? Nothing. As far as I know, even Bro. Branham proved he went to
potentates. I saw the letter that King George’s secretary wrote.
Don’t give me any of your nonsense. 

	You say, “Where is it now?” 

	I don’t know; somebody stole it. The devil always steals things. But
you can’t steal what I can tell you. 

	You going to say, “Lee Vayle, you’re a liar.” 

	You’re a liar! I’ll meet you on that. You bet I’ll meet you on
that. And I’ll meet you on the letters that are written to the carpers
and the criticizers. And I’ll meet you on the letter I saw under the
hand. As far as I know it’s under the hand, because it was from the
president of Finland.

	And I saw where [Joseph] Decoursey wanted to use Bro. Branham, like
Elisha. “Look over in Russia, tell us what’s going on.” [See
“Identification #14”] Who cares what’s going on in Russia? I want
to hear from heaven. I’m not going to Russia! Ha!

	You talk about the jargon of mixed-up minds. You ever shake an
egg—tshew, tshew, tshew—until it got all addled inside? Yuck!
Men’s brains, outside of Jesus Christ! One of the tongues loose in the
middle; I mean tied in the middle and loose at both ends. They speak out
of the air, and they speak out of the brains; they speak out of the
hearts. That’s the church, brother—the world church.

55.	[29] 	Then He had twelve left. He chose twelve, and one of them was
a devil, (Don’t look at the fellow next to you, now. That’s what he
said.) So He turned to them. And there’s no one could explain what He
had just said. “How are you going to eat His flesh and drink His
Blood? And how did he come down when he was born right here on earth?”
See? They couldn’t understand it. And then he turned to the apostles
and He said, “Do you want to go also?” (Now, this is the example of
you and me, under William Branham. The elect.)

[30]	And that’s when the apostle Peter made that great statement,
“Lord, to whom would we go? (See?) For we are satisfied. We know
assurely that You and You alone have the Word of Life at this hour. 

	And Bro. Branham said, “There is no life outside of this message, and
there’s nothing will come to life outside of it.” Okay:

[30] 	(See?) And we’re satisfied of that. See, they could not explain
it. They... You can’t explain faith.

	Now, that ought to do something for you right there. Don’t try to
explain why you believe Bro. Branham. And everybody else says,
“You’re nuts; you’re coo-coo. There’s other great men; there’s
this…” 

	Well, you say, “Well, look. I’m satisfied he had it. Goodbye
Charlie.” 

	And if Charlie’s not there, goodbye John and good bye George. And
it’s goodbye your wife and your kids and everybody else, or I’ll
tell you: if it’s not, it’ll be goodbye you. Because if you
remember, the Judge… We’ll talk about that in a little while. What
little while, I don’t know, but it will be a little while. It will be
a little while, all right.

56.	[30]	…You and You alone have the Words of…this hour. (See?) And
we’re satisfied of that.” See, they could not explain it. They...
You can’t explain faith. It’s something that you believe, and it’s
so solid that there’s nothing else will take its place.

	It doesn’t say a lot of things don’t want to take its place. But
you come, like I’ve said many times, I’m not looking for anything
else when it comes to this Word, unless it comes out of the Word. And I
won’t know; I’ve just got to stay with the Word. See? 

[30]	Therefore, they knew that the Word that was written for that age
that they were living in, the Messiahic age, that he fit that place
exactly.

	Now, what fits today? The Appearing; Son of man and the prophet Elijah,
because he puts them together. One reveals the other. And you know the
Son of man is here being revealed, because it’s the Word working
Itself in the midst of us, living itself again, appearing to the
Gentiles.

57.	[30]	And what could they do to… And what could they do to go back
in them cold, formal churches that they come out of? (See?) Said,
“Where would we go to? …We are fully persuaded that You have the
Word of Life.” They couldn’t explain It, but they believed It.

	As Bro. Branham said, sink or swim, live or die. And that’s the
attitude we’ve got. We don’t have to be a theologian and explain
everything. We don’t have to tell everything. Don’t have to argue
and fuss with anybody, defend our position. Walk off! See? Shake the
dust off your feet, which means the dust of malice, so that you could
argue bitterly if you had to, or walk off loving friends and say,
“Well, I love you just the same.” That’s pretty difficult. But
Bro. Branham lived it.

	He didn’t back away from the Word. He didn’t go out on the platform
and say, “Well, I’m going to tell you folk, I disagree with you
Pentecostal people, and I want to tell you, ‘I love you so much,
I’ll just take back everything I said.’” When did he say that? We
don’t take back anything we’ve said either, unless we said it wrong.
Now, we’re not prophets. Remember; the prophet’s in a tube. 

58.	[31]	And Jesus said that to weed down His crowd (See?), till He
could get the group together. And out of all those people, they, only
eleven of them, then, understood actually Who He was. They knew that He
was God and God alone.

	They knew that’s what they were dealing with. Now Jesus, the body,
wasn’t God. It was the substance chemically formed around the Life
that was of God, the attributes placed in there: looking at attributes,
the fullness in the attributes bodily. All right. They knew what he was.
Okay.

59.	Let’s go to 2 Th 2:1.

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

	How do you get gathered unto him? Through the prophets. What do the
prophets have? Revealed Word! They are there in the place of Jesus.
That’s Matthew 23. I’ve read It time and time again to you. “How
oft would I have gathered you together?” [Mt 23:34-35]

(34)	I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye
shall kill and some you crucify; …and (were harried) from city to
city:

(35)	That upon you may come all the righteous blood… 

	From Abel, said, right down to the last one killed in Israel. Their
blood came upon them. Now the blood comes upon the Church of Rome and
the Protestants. All the blood from Abel now, double portion, because
they turned It down.

60.	Now he says he’s talking concerning himself; the gathering
together unto Christ. Who is present? Logos. There’s the two pictures,
scientifically proven. Parallels of the day of Moses; can’t get away
from it: a prophet. Jesus was a prophet. God was in the prophet—all of
God in the prophet. And these prophets; ‘all of God’ is not in the
prophets.

	Now he’s speaking now in terms of constant. Could be in—and then,
at least we know the attributes—and leave. There’s a difference
between the two, but there’s not a difference in the respect of the
typing, because he’s appeared to the Gentiles; proved he’s here;
manifested it. Now we’re coming together on that. Not in denomination
creeds and churches and Pentecost and this and that, but on the pure
unadulterated Word. Not on money and this and that. Everybody’s got
too much. We’re sated, jaded. It’s a pitiful thing.

61.	[32]	Now, my subject this morning is to reveal, or unveil, that God.


	What, ‘that God’? What he’s talking about? How He does things;
show you it, how it’s done. He laid the foundation for it.

[33]	God has always, in every age, has hid Himself behind a veil: all
ages. But He’s been God all the time.

	Now he’s telling you something right here, going back to Philippians;
as God took upon Him a human form and He was in that human form, that
constituted a veil. Read about Moses constituting a veil. So, he’s
going to talk about ‘veil’. And it’s going to take someone to get
behind the veil through revelation.

62.	Then he’ll talk about ceremonial veils; creedal, denominational,
how they’re ripped aside. Why, sure they’re ripped aside. When the
hand of God comes down with the miracles and the signs and wonders, you
know God’s not with that bunch. They’ll come right behind and try to
impersonate it, but they’re not going to do it. No siree. The genuine
has been here, so that’s counterfeit. People ran by, and they said,
“Oh, we got it. We saw the original. Hallelujah, we’ll join the
original!” 

	Hogwash! You bunch of Korah, Dathan and Abirams.

	Now, if you’re a real child of God, you want to see signs follow the
Word, that’s great, but don’t you try to set a precedence with any
sign that you’ve got something. That’s been done. So, now you’re a
phony. 

	Come on, come on, come on, brothers. Let’s face this thing. You
don’t find prophets, and you don’t find the five fold ministry, in
that order. Come on. That’s a bunch of… Oh, that’s irrational,
ridiculous, denominational. You’re born into this. Predestination.
Moses-Paul-William Branham; two thousand years each apart. Anything else
is Ascended Masters. 

63.	Now, we’re going to reveal ‘that’ God. What God? The God
that’s explained, exemplified by Jesus in his ministry. Yup, and the
startling Word that is against the creeds.

[33]	God…in every age, has hid behind a veil: all ages. But He’s
been God all the time. See? But He’s kept Himself hid from the world,
and reveals Himself to His elected.

	Who are the elected? Are they elected? Yeah, over here. I just read it.
See? That’s the eleven apostles. They couldn’t explain it, but they
believed it. He said, “Live or die, sink or swim,” we believe it.
Now:

[33]	He’s kept Hisself hid from the world, and reveals Hisself to His
elected, like the apostles at that day. Now, that was God speaking in
Christ.

	We have God speaking in Christ. What’s Christ? That means the
‘Messiah, the anointed one, the messenger’. That’s the one, coming
in flesh. God was in Him, like God’s in the prophets. So, if Jesus was
a prophet, God would have to be in him. But He wouldn’t be a son of
God; he would be the Son of God, and be Son of man signifying who he
was.

64.	[34]	Now, man has always… It’s been the nature of man; he sought
to see (physically) that God. He’s always wanted to see It. Man has
made creatures that look like Him, they think of. The Indians worship
the sun. And we find in Africa different forms of animals and so forth.
And up at the totem poles in Alaska and different forms that they think
this God is in. As Paul…spoke there at Athens that time on Mars’
hill and told them that they were superstitious concerning this unknown
God, that they knowed He was there, but yet they didn’t know Him.

	Now, here’s what he’s bringing out here: no creation can reveal the
Creator. Only the Creator can reveal Himself, and He will use the part
of His Creation. But it’s a specified part that God uses. You can’t
look out here and really know God. You can know there is a God, and you
know He must work in continuity and you can even pick up election. You
can even pick up condemnation because, why should this thing out here be
cursed and this one not cursed? See, why should He rip up this, and not
rip up that?

	You can tell there’s blessing and cursing. You can begin to feel that
there’s something out there that maybe indicates a bit, but no way.
And man has always tried to figure God by creation and do something that
will work it out, and it won’t work! God’s His Own interpreter.
First of all, He’s His Own Word giver. He’s His Own interpreter.
He’s His Own God. You bet He is. He said, “I don’t take council
with anybody.”

	Oh, yeah. People think He does. In the Roman Catholic Church, like the
Sanhedrin; you know I understand that this was said by Josephus or
somebody: The Sanhedrin got so haughty that they said, “When God gets
problems, He inquires of them.” So, I suppose the Roman Catholic
cardinals got together, and they asked God who to make pope, and I have
no doubt that God told them, if they really got serious. They didn’t
know him. See, they couldn’t know him.

65.	[35]	And so we find even back as far as Job. Job knew that there was
a God. He knew it. And there’s not a human being in their right mind
but what knows there’s got to be Something somewhere. And now, Job
wanted to talk to Him. (That’s talk to God) And I want you to notice
the form that God chose to talk to Job in. (In other words, what was God
in when He talked to Job. Now, listen:) God was veiled when He talked to
Job. He was veiled in a whirlwind, came down in a whirlwind. You believe
that God still comes in a whirlwind to unveil Himself?

	Now, why does he bring up Job? Because Job saw God in a whirlwind. He
saw the whirling and said, “That’s God,” and God spoke out of it.
God did something; God said something. Now, what’s he doing? He’s
going to talk about himself, letting you know that he is the one
that’s going to expose God, and the manner in which it is done.

	See. That’s why they hated Christ. If he had not been there to die
upon the cross, they’d say “wonderful, wonderful, wonderful,
wonderful.” But he identified himself with the Word, what must be
done. Now William Branham identifies himself and tells you that he is
going to pull back the veils of creeds and denominations, and the way
that God is unveiled to the people. They say, “Hogwash! I don’t want
it. I don’t buy it. I got enough for myself. Get out of here.”
That’s why we take every Word the prophet said and breathe It in,
drink It in, and by the grace of God we hope to live It.

66.	[36]	There’s several sitting here, a number, that was with us the
other day when He came in a whirlwind, (Now he tells you God came in a
whirlwind.) told us the day before, Brother Banks Wood, them, when He
said, “Take up this rock; throw it up in the air, and say, ‘THUS
SAITH THE LORD. You will see it right away.’” And I picked up the
rock, up on top of the mountain, threw it up in the air, and of course,
coming down, it started a whirlwind, (See?) the suction of it.

	Now Bro. Branham is identifying himself again (See?) showing that
he’s a prophet—prophet Elijah. What happened? We’ll show you this
by Scripture, how it came about. And he’s going to tells us about God.

[37]	You have to do something to cause something to follow it. Jesus
took a piece of bread and broke it, …multiplied from that piece of
bread, …took water, poured it into a pitcher. Elijah (Elisha, I
guess.) took salt, put it in a cruse; cut down a stick, threw it on the
water. It’s something to symbolize. And picking up this rock and
throwing it into the air, and coming down started the whirlwind.

	Now here’s these, “Well, let me do something like that.” 

	No, you’ve got to have God tell you what to do. God doesn’t back up
anything but His Own Word. So, in this particular case, he had to tell
these men what to do. I don’t think Elisha just came by, said, “Ah,
just do this.” No! No! The Word of God tells us that in Him we live
and breathe and have our being, and whatever we do and are doing is
inspired by God. So, this man was inspired by God, doubly so, being a
prophet. 

	Okay, then God won’t act upon anything but His Own Word. You know
that.

67.	[38] 	The next day while... There was a minister with us on a
hunting trip, …standing close, and he said to me, “Does the Lord
give visions out here like this, Bro. Branham?”

[39]	And I said, “Yes, but I usually come out here to rest.” And
just then the vision came.

	[40]	And Bro. Borders, (I think he’s outside now.), he was along;
Brother Banks Wood, I think, and, oh, several was up there, eight or
ten. And Brother Banks Wood watching this right on the mountain, was
right across from it, exactly about one half mile where the seven Angels
appeared that I left here to go there for, that come back and told about
the Seven Seals.

	Now he’s going to tell you something that has to do, then, with the
Seven Seals. He’s bringing in the angels, and telling you who was out
there. Now, what was this angel group? Revealing the judge! You follow
me? Now, come on. For this hour!

68.	Brother, don’t you understand that, in redemption, that took place
through the shed blood of a physical form? Everything else now, though,
that is central to it, does not necessarily have the form figure of the
flesh, because He’s turned back to the Pillar of Fire. 

	Now, Jesus was up there already, and John was not yet caught up, when
the vision occurred. He wasn’t to chapter 4 yet. And the One that was
there by divine revelation, common sense would tell us, (Now we have the
revelation.) that Rev 1:12, the one with the long, white hair, the
flowing robe, the paps bound by His girdle, and so on, is the Judge.
Now, He’s also in the midst off the seven golden candle sticks. Then,
who’s he coming to? The Bride in the church. And of, course, the
church turns Him down. 

	So, Bro. Branham is showing us these things by pointing where this took
place, the whirlwind. Now, what came out of the whirlwind? A voice.

69.	Let’s go further.

[41] 	And the next day when this was going on…, I said to this
brother, “What’s your trouble, you’ve got an allergy in your eye.
The doctors tried a couple years to stop it, and…can’t do it. They
say…it’s going to eat your eye out.” And I said, “But don’t
worry; the Lord Jesus honored your faith.” He just dropped his gun.
And I said, “Your mother...” just what was wrong with her. (Little
tumors between the toes, remember?) 

	And he said, “That’s the truth.”

[42] 	Brother Roy Roberson from the church here, was standing present, I
guess all of you know him. Knowing he was a veteran, …knowing what was
going to take place, I put my hand on his shoulder, I said, “Brother
Roberson, be careful. Watch. Something’s going to happen.” (He was
[three indistinguishable words]. See?)

[43]	I walked back to where I was supposed to be standing, and out of
the air came a whirlwind (down through a canyon) from above, …was so
great till it tore rocks eight or ten inches through, up to the top of
the mountain, …threw them two hundred yards out in, clapped three
times like that, and a voice came from it. See? 

	Now, there you are. Now, the whirlwind doesn’t have a voice. You’re
looking at Logos right there, that which God operates through. See?

70.	[44]	And one of them standing there... Brother Banks Woods, present,
and said, “That was what you told me yesterday?”

		I said, “Yes, sir, that’s it.”

		He said, “Now, what did It say?”

	[45]	I said, “Now, that’s just for me to know, Brother Banks
(See?), because it would alarm people.” (Now, listen:)

[46] 	But It went ahead, it happened just a little... Traveling
northward, a few days later it hit in the ocean, and you seen what
happened around Fairbanks. It was a judgment sign.

	Well, how would you have a judgment sign without the Judge? Back there,
“eat my flesh and drink my blood,” was a redemption sign. See? Now,
you’re looking at this end time, and Bro. Branham’s identifying with
it. All right. It was judgment.

[46]	Now, we find that God still... You see, it’d throw people into
panic. So then, that had to happen. See? It just has to happen. The
things that’s going to happen has got to happen anyhow. See, it’s
going to happen anyhow.

	Now he’s telling you there, these things are going to happen.
Anything God’s going to do is going to happen anyhow. But there’s
the way that it’s going to happen. There’s a channel. 

71.	Now, back to paragraph 40. I said that. See, those seven angels were
there. That was where the Judge formed. All right. Now, he said judgment
was going to come.

	Now, if you go to your Bibles, which we won’t go to today, you’ll
notice that Elijah, up on the mountain, God spoke in a whirlwind, and it
said God was not in the whirlwind, although that was God, manifesting.
Then there was, after the whirlwind, an earthquake. That’s fine, but
that’s not it. The third thing was fire. That’s fine that’s true.
Still Logos, but that’s not it. The next thing you need is what comes
out of those three, which is the still small voice, the Word of God.

72.	Now Bro. William Branham had the whirlwind, he had the earthquake,
and he had the Pillar of Fire seen by the whole town; and what he
doesn’t tell you is what Bro. Evans will tell you—the boy, because
the old man’s dead. The old man didn’t see it anyway. But Bro.
Evans, Wayne I think, saw it. And he said, “The strange thing was,
there was a black cloud going up-down beside the amber cloud,” which
was exactly what happened to Moses. And out of that fire, the cloud,
came the Voice which was God, and “Take the message back of marriage
and divorce to the church, and tell the people they’re forgiven.”

	In other words, all your creeds and dogmas, all those things that you
messed up on, they’re all gone. You’re perfectly justified; you’re
righteous; not a thing held against you. Now, stick to this. And he
said, don’t ever do that again. Don’t leave the Message, don’t go
back to churches, just the same as you don’t leave a wife and go get
somebody else and leave a wife, and all those things mixed up,
brother/sister. They’re not of God. 

73.	I’m not saying that it’s not possible for someone to marry and
divorce. That’s between you and God because I don’t know hearts, but
I’m looking at this Message here. I can tell you one thing, there is
no place that anybody can leave this Message and go fooling around, and
come back and do this and do that. When you come to a revelation
that’s definitive, you will stay with that thing. And I believe the
same thing is with the marriage. You stick with your marriages; make the
best of them, because the next thing could be ten times worse. That
often happens, though maybe not.

74.	[47] 	Now, Moses one time desired to see God, and God told him to
stand on the rock. And on the rock Moses stood, and he saw God pass by,
and His back looked like the back of a man. God was in a whirlwind, and
God was there, …Moses standing on the rock...

	[48]	I guess you all saw the picture out there the other day, “we
stood by that same rock. 

	What same rock? There’s a picture of Joseph and Bro. Branham. A
Polaroid camera took it, and you could see that amber glow and the
colors in there, like the rainbow and so on. What was it? He said, “We
stood on the rock.” 

	Not the rock that was over there in Palestine. No, not that rock.
He’s talking about the Rock of revelation of Jesus Christ, Heb 13:8:
that what God did, He still does. Essentially, God never changes. His
way doesn’t change. You see? 

75.	Nothing about God ever changes. That’s why He is so good. He said
to us in the Book of Malachi, which is the book of Elijah for this hour,
he said, “I am the Lord, I change not. Therefore, ye sons of Jacob are
not consumed.” He tells us right today, He says, “if I were the God
that changed,” He said, “I’d take away my grace as I came down
here and investigated,” because Bro. Branham said investigating angels
was that very one. 

	And he said, “Don’t worry, one of these will pick you up and take
you away.” A Pillar of Fire. See? The Holy Spirit going to catch us
away. And he said at that hour, when that Judge came, He looked at the
Laodicean Church Age and He saw the whole thing was a complete mess, a
complete washout. And that’s where He said “I don’t change.” He
said “I’m the Judge, and I can tell you the whole thing is shot, but
I am going to take my elect out.”

	And what does that go back to? Genesis 18: “Shall not the Judge of
all the earth do right?” Shall God condemn the righteous with the
wicked? He said “by no means.” And there He stood in a human form,
the great Judge right there; took upon Himself a veil of flesh and stood
right there and said, “Look, I’m going to tell you something. I’m
going to judge the world right now.” And then He said “The son’s
going to come in flesh.” 

76.	The Judge came right here and exonerated the Bride, condemned the
world. Judgment already struck. Sixth Seal open, the whole thing open,
and now we’re just waiting. Now, brother/sister, you can’t beat
that.

	What’s the prophet doing? He’s unveiling God. This is God: The
Word. He’s letting you know. 

	You say, “You know, I realize it that we could be thinking something
dull here this morning.” 

	But I’m not moving one step until I get the dull thing out, if this
is dull. I want to get my sharp brains dulled down. I can tell you that,
because it isn’t as real as it’s got to be. 

[48]	And here’s that Light, the Angel of the Lord right there where It
clapped.

	What was that? And I’ll say that was when that whirlwind came and
just clapped the three times, went BANG, BANG, BANG, the rocks and just
spun them out. Ho, where did William Branham get the part of that? 

77.	There’s a guy who goes around, and he talks about a cloud and some
fire, and it goes snapping around people’s feet. But he’s supposed
to be the Son of man, and he’s got all moon-day landing, all that
stuff all shot in him. Ah, I don’t care if he raises the dead or a
whole graveyard full. It’d be fun to see that. He ain’t going to do
it.

78.	Come on, brother/sister. Don’t you realize there’s one real, and
everything else that’s going to follow cannot be real? Why? Because
this is the ‘once-in-a-lifetime’—2000 years! We’re not dealing
with the everyday of God anymore that was out here, anything that went
by. We’re not dealing that way anymore. Can’t you see the exodus
from the time of Moses? Never mind the second exodus, the time of Jesus.
That’s fine, and that’s in there: Bro. Branham. But Bro. Branham
didn’t go back and forth to that. He went back to Moses every single
time and laid it out. And the Word always goes back to Moses. Then you
come to Paul; then you come to Jesus; come to William Branham. But
always God is there. See?

79.	[49]	Notice. Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New
Testament.

	Remember that? What was that? In “The Message of Grace”, the three
Rainbows were there? He approached it the very, very… There was God.
And not that form now, but letting Himself be reflected as three great
Rainbows. God in three Offices. He said Jehovah of the Old Testament is
Jesus of the New. He’s the same God, just changing His form. See?

	

	Now, that’s as far as we’re going to go. That’s at page 8; well,
we got from page 2 to page 8. That’s not too bad for one sitting. All
right. Let’s rise at this time. Shall we? Wednesday at 8:00; 7:30, beg
your pardon.

	Gracious God, eternal Father, again we come unto You, thanking You for
the time we have together in Your Word, Lord, realizing more and more
that, what has taken place in our hour. And looking it over and over,
Lord, we see the magnitude of It and understand so much more. 

	Looking, oh God, as we look at this now, and we’re supposed to look
at this now, like, “That’s true.” And just taking us on further to
another plateau, we believe, by divine grace.

	We can not praise Thee enough, Lord, for Thy mercy. We certainly can
not, when we would look at the time and the facts of the hour in which
we live, that You stood true to Your Word. And we realize that we do
live by the faith of the Son of God, not by ourselves. We stand here
only because of his faith, with what he did, completely justified in
him. 

	Lord, it’s so hard to relate to human in the divine, but we saw it
happen in this hour. May we learn to relate to it as never before, oh
God, and be happy with It and appreciate It—stand on It and then live
in the revealed Word, Lord. Let the life of Your Word come forth in our
human bodies today.

	Father, we can not praise You enough for what You’ve done for us
already. We know that. But God in heaven, quicken us, we pray, to such
an extent as we hold the promise before You, as we never held before. 

	We received this Message for our healing. We receive It, Lord, for
complete reconciliation. Absolutely we do, Lord. This is the time of
that, Lord. And we believe that in there, there’s the sign of the
Resurrection. We see it all in there, Lord. We see the condemnation
going to the world, but we see the commendation coming to us. We see Him
as we form around Him, around this Word, Lord. And we believe that this
is right. 

	We know it is right. Where else would we go? What is there to touch
this? Certainly it’s going to be like the back-firing in the time of
Paul? And who will turn on Him? The Church will turn, even as Israel
turned on Paul. No way. So, the church has to turn on this. And we thank
You, Lord, that it is turning on It.

	We don’t relish a lot of things, but we know, Lord, that this is the
hour of a grace that’s bestowed upon us, something Lord, that’s
different. It’s a much more than ever before. We realize that.

	So Father, may we encourage ourselves in the Word, and with each other
talk It more and more and more. And above all, may the Light be released
that we might live It, Lord. That’s the thing that gives us the
shudders. We think, oh God, can we live it? And we know in Your Word
there is the truth, It can be lived. And It will be lived, that’s one
thing, because Your Word can’t fail. Whether Your Word, Lord, was in a
human being or in an angel, Your Word has to live. It will not fail. 

	But like Mary, we want to say, “Be unto me according to Thy Word.”
Oh God, that by faith she knew it would happen, Lord. Caleb and Joshua
knew it would happen. People know these things to happen. We can know
today.

	So Father in heaven, may we take and understand and have an assurance
we have never had before, concerning the prophet’s Message and You in
our midst revealed. And we, Lord, coming right up to be the revealed and
manifested sons of God. Not what we might think, but the way You have
thought It out, and then share in Your glory, Lord, because that’s
what it’s been all along. People sharing in You and with You.

	Unto Thee be the honor and glory, Lord. Heal every sick one amongst us,
Lord, this morning we pray. Oh God in heaven, when we know there’s a
resurrection standing by and immortality, it’s all been laid out
there, Lord.

	May we never falter or fail at this moment, in the hour of glory, but
rather, Lord, believe Thee, and see Your glory magnified.

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

	All right. Let’s sing “Take the Name of Jesus with You.”
