Looking # 2

Looking # 2

Bro. Lee Vayle - January 16, 1979

1. …We’re right before the end-time, I have a right to ask it too, because this is a showdown of looking, and there's no more history, there's no more looking. There will come a time which is now that we see Him, and that's it. That's it. That's the way the Bride was. When she saw Him, she said, "Oh, my beloved, he is the tree amongst the trees. He is the Birds amongst the birds. He is a Gem amongst the gems. He is the Butterfly amongst the butterflies." His is It.

And he said, "Well, you beautiful tree, oh we're going to make sweet music. When he comes, I'm going to come and pick you up." He knocked on her door, [knocks on pulpit] and she heard his voice, and she just went to pieces. She swooned. And she got to the door swooning into his arms, he wasn't there.

"Well, (she said) I ain't going to let nothing beat me out of this. I've heard him, I've seen him." Though she began looking, that's all she had eyes there. She never spoke about the sweet denominational pit of nice cushions and nice pensions, and nice this and nice that, and a nice home, and a scholarship for your kids; and you'll get this, and you'll get that. Come with us. Hogwash. She said, "Forget it boy." So, they set the dogs on her. Well she got to running through the brambles. And people began trying to clutch at her, so they're going to rape her, walk, molest her and everything else. But she just kept on moving. She got out of the pit. She seen him and heard his voice. She said, "That's what I want, you can have the rest."

When they said, "That poor stupid jerk." See, I kind of got the jerks, that's okay. By the time she got to him she's come this way.

And he said, "My, you're beautiful."

She said, "You don't need going through that deal, I never say things I don't mean." You know, God had clothed her with the same glory. Amen! Doesn't always sound good, but it is good. One last look at the pit, you look at Him. (see?)

2. Thou art the Christ the Son of the Living God. He said, "And upon this will I build my Church." [Mt 16:18] Which is the revelation, and we are a part of it. And we know that that is true from what the prophet said. Backed up by the very Word of God, that she did not quote us at that time, but it's in 1 Peter 2: And It says here, beginning at chapter 2,

(1) Wherefore laying aside all malice, all guile, hypocrisies, envies, evil speakings,

(2) As newborn babes, (oh beautiful, I've been born again, hallelujah, got a new start) desire the sincere milk of the word, that (you) may grow thereby:

In other words, take it step by step.

(3) (Step) If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

You know at the end time there’s going to come biting off great big chunks of Hebrews 6: and still miss it. Now listen, here's where you don't miss it.

(4) To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men,

"Many more the children of the desolate." [Gal. 4:27]

(4) (Oh yeah, disallowed indeed) of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

(5) Ye also, as lively stones, (same stones) built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

(6) Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion (this is New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem has) a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that (believes) on (the cornerstone) shall not be confounded.

The revelation, there's one God, His Name is Lord Jesus Christ. Baptism must follow that Name.

(7) Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, (how do you know if you're disobedient to anything? Somebody's got to say something, right?) the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is (now) the head of the corner, (become the Capstone, not just cornerstone. And what is He?)

(8) (Yet all this time He's) …a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: …

There it is brother/sister, the revelation. And one day that Cornerstone has got to be the Capstone. And everything that's in the pyramid. Everything that's in New Jerusalem has got to be the same thing, and they got to be cut without hands, so they all come together is something that God does. Yes sir! Now, here we are looking at the Rock at this hour, the revelation of the Word of Jesus Christ sat this very moment.

3. Now, at this end time we have had the revelation of the Rock from which we're hewed, which we saw with Ephesians 1:18, we read It already that He was revealed to us. And remember this, what was He revealed as? He was revealed as our Redeemer, because It was a Book of Redemption. And the Seals revealed that what It was all about, all the time was Jesus. And what is He? He's Jehovah Savior, which is our Redeemer. Which is what? Is Isaiah 53: And that's what we're talking about.

We're talking about the seed. We're talking about how the plan of God, the purpose comes into being. We're looking at Him now. In other words, we're seeing Him Who is the Seals, Who is the Plan, Who is the Word Who is all of It. Now, where are your creeds and dogmas, organizations go? Drop dead.

4. [Isaiah 53:]

(1) Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

(2) …grow up (like) a tender plant, root out of a dry ground: no form nor comeliness; we see him, no beauty that we should desire him.

(3) …despised …rejected of men; (seeing there's no big insurance plans, no old age pensions, no this, no that, you know, we're going to see) … him despised, (rejected.) …

Listen, I'm going to tell you, if you've got any part of your message as the world loves and doesn't really get after, there's something wrong with it. There's something wrong with it. I'll tell you flat, the funniest thing happened, (I mean the sense of peculiar) just as soon as Bro. Branham died and was buried, somebody got a hold of the Church Age Book, which was goody, goody gum-drops, and they found serpent seed. And right off the bat, our dear sisters just knew in their hearts that a great big four-footed beast like an elephant had raped Eve. Have you ever seen a hairy snake? I didn't know they had four feet. They just took their own understanding and they were outraged and they sent all the questions to Joe Pine who died of cancer. I wonder if he died of cancer because of what he said? I'm not saying he did. But other people died of blindness and cancer when they went against the prophet of God.

5. He that and ask his questions, and pretty soon the consensus came out, the book ought to be burned in a man like that shot or something. But isn't it strange this doctrine has been known through all the centuries and all the ages. They were just merely vindicated by the Pillar of Fire that God said that It was so.

What it was, was a man bigger than any that Adam or Eve would just simply a large man, except he had no soul, but he had a place for one. He was animal, but he could talk and everything else. And who he is we know today is the boa constrictor. Because the boa constrictor alone has remnants of hips, and alone has sexual intercourse in the mounting position. And many, many other features. We know who he was, he's the giant.

6. He's here. As Bro. Branham said, "He's here." God said, "He's here." You bet He's here. Yep. And he had a mate too of course, because females have the same qualities exactly as the males in the same respect there. So, you see when the Word comes It is not despised and few in number that change it. It's not the 'Word'. (See?)

(3) …we hid as it were our faces…

Oh, many do, (Bro. Branham we know you’re right, but my superintendent why he’d just kill me. My wife would leave me. I'd lose my church.” Ha, lucky dog. Didn't know how lucky he was. Get rid of all that stuff, it's just excess junk, forget it. Same as the woman, except it just means that’s a good-bye.

(4) Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: (now listen) yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Now, It says right here, that there is no way that you can esteem Christ, that you can glorify Him, you can honor Him unless you see Him as the sacrifice that God accepted, smitten of God and afflicted, and proven by the Resurrection.

Now,

(5) (All we like sheep) was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him;…

(6) All we like sheep have gone astray; turned everyone to his own way; … (and so on.)

(7) …oppressed, and… (so on.)

(8) …taken from prison and from judgment: who shall declare his generation?... (Why if he died without having children, how is it going to be?) cut off the land of the living: (stricken) for the transgression of my people.

(9) …made his grave with the wicked, rich in his death; …

Did He not …?... do one single thing to bring this on Himself. But God was pleased and said, "I can take Him, thought I can't take anybody else. When I take Him, I'll take Him for everybody else."

7. Now listen,

(10) …he put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, (only then) shall (he) see his seed, … (What seed? Royal seed, elect seed, (typed and shown forth in Abraham) and the pleasure of the LORD…

In other words, the whole plan and purpose of God. The masterpiece of wisdom, intelligence and God-ness could come to pass in Jesus Christ. And It says:

(11) (He'll) see of the travail of his soul, (and He's going to) be satisfied: by (knowing Him) my righteous servant (shall) justify many; (by His knowledge, knowing Him as Savior, and He'll) bear their iniquities.

(12) Therefore, will I divide him a portion with the great, and divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and bare the sin of many, and made intercession…

Shows you right there, the intermediary-ship, His death, resurrection where He pleads forth, the whole bit showing for here…

8. Now listen, now watch, you can't leave that brother/sister, you got to go on to the end time, chapter 54.

(1) Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

He's explaining this over here, aren't going to be, but very few are going to see it.

(2) Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

(3) For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

In other words, we're going to come right back to a new civilization entirely, every man under his own vine, fig tree, the whole bit.

(4) Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

(5) For thy Maker is thine husband; …

Now, you show me where God is the husband, unless He's joined through Jesus Christ? And the mystery of the union at the end time is uniting time by the Word of Almighty God, which is proving there is a Bride that is joined to her husband.

(5) (And remember) …thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

9. And this is why Bro. Branham said, "There must come a time when the revelation comes, in order that the Bride will know her Mate." And what's her Mate? Redeemer. "Thy Redeemer is thy God) the Holy One of Israel."

(6) For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

(7) For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

(8) In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with ever- lasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

(9) For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: … (placing you right at the end time again.)

When does God reveal Himself as the Husband of the Bride, Old and New Testament? Right at the end time brother/sister.

(9) I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

She won't be in the great tribulation. She won't be in any flood upon this earth.

(10) For the mountains shall depart, (great tribulation) the hills be removed; (great tribulation) but my kindness shall not depart from thee, (because you will not be in it, you see, the Bride is not in that) neither shall the covenant of my (mercy) be removed, …

10. You say, "What about the 144,000?" They are not Bride my brother, my sister, they serve the Bride. I'm sorry you missed that one didn't you. I kind of thought there might be a question. There's on questions anymore, they've all been opened. We're not looking in a glass darkly anymore, wondering what's around the corner, we're seeing it.

(11) O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones (New Jerusalem) with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. (Always, New Jerusalem)

(12) …I will make thy windows of agates, thy gates of carbuncles, thy borders of pleasant stones.

(13) And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; (nobody else there but God. Satan won't be there, serpent won't be there. You won't even have five-fold ministry there. Oh, they'll be there, but they'll be listening to you.) and great shall be the peace of thy children.

(14) In righteousness shalt thou be established: (that's Malachi, Revelation, right? for) thou shalt be far from oppression; thou shalt not fear: and from terror; it shall not come near thee. (It's going to hit us.)

(15) Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: (that's ecumenical council, but their Savior is gone) whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

You don't realize that judgment is going to hit this earth because they're going to come against the Bride. Bro. Branham said, "You watch when that squeeze comes on down." I believe what he said. I don't what to see it… (you know) sure I'm chicken. But I got one problem, I'm just afraid I'll blow my stack if we get out of here, and might take their pedigree. Out of my heart, and you shouldn't do things like that. By like, (you know) hopefully.

(16) Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that (brings) forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. (Right now, there's a waster.)

11. Now listen,

(17) No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; (they’ll never get you) and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. (He said,) This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Now, right there he tells you at the end time they'll try everything in the book. Bro. Branham said, "There'll be a repeat of all diabolical cunning." He said, "The ecumenical squeeze will be on." And I'm not going to settle that Judas was ecumenical, so therefore, somebody sitting in this seat, or nearly believe this Message is going to be the one that puts the pressure. Certainly, there'll be one near me put the pressure. I've already had it, and really mean nothing much to it, because they really can't do too much about it. If there comes a day, they'll do it. But I tell you, there's an ecumenical pressure out there too, don't worry. Don't worry, the Bible said so. They've got the drop on us as far as the physical.

Now, in the light of this I wonder if we see it, what we're talking about. Our Rock according to Hebrews 13:8, Revelation 1:8, that's "Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever." The Alpha and Omega. If we do, we see Matthew 16:17-18, we are right back where the Church realizes once and for all that she's never realized except in the First Age that the Church is built upon Revelation, revealed Word.

12. Now, if you go back with me you're going to find only one time in all history, (to my knowledge) has the Bride as Christ been identified as the Word. It was in the First Age and now in the Last Age. I know of no writing anywhere where Christ has been revealed, the Word.

Now, do we know we are a part of Him? Do we know we're hewn out of Him? He was smitten, the living Rock, and when we looked at ourselves, (were were smitten, rather we were hewn out of Him) and out of Him flowed the life that brought us back to Him, because we were in Him, (hewn out of Him, the very life that flowed out of Him) is now upon us the Holy Spirit identifying, we're under the Blood. Here is the anti-type, Bro. Branham said, is Eve taken out of Adam. And do we know we we're a part of Him Who revealed Himself at this end time. Now, that's the difference.

13. Everybody else is a part of Him who was not revealed at the end time. The only way you can be a part of Him, is to be a part of the revelation. Certainly, because if you've got a wrong revelation, you've got a wrong relationship, your wrong walk.

Now, how are you going to have a trinitarianism here, now you answer me. (See?) We are a part of the revealed Christ, and therefore part of the revelation. If so, our Maker is our Husband, our Savior is our Bridegroom. Do we know for certainly that He became us that we might become Him? That's what the prophet said. Can we see the poor lost sheep actually disoriented sheep, (because that's what we were) are proven to be redeemed back to Him, and re-oriented, (that's the tough part) as a part of Him, and our old identity is gone, and a new one is here. Even as Bro. Branham said, "I don't even call you saints anymore, I call you Bride." And we are already in the Kingdom of His Word, because the Word is a Kingdom, he said so.

14. Now, this is what looking is all about. What is it all about? 2 Corinthians 3:2-18

(2) Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

(3) Forasmuch as (you) are manifestly declared (exegeted, shown, proven by words, then you'll say in the words) to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, …

Now, Paul didn't say, "Look, this thing happened by the divine grace of Almighty God the sovereign act whereby you suddenly knew and came in, period. He said, "It took me." You show me where a church doesn't have a messenger. Doesn't have a physical embodiment of the Holy Ghost. (See?) Not, notice:

(3) …not with ink, but (by) the Spirit of the living God; (Paul puts himself right with the Spirit of God.) not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

(4) And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

In other words, he said, "I know my office, I know what's going on. I know what's happening." He said, "This is real, my faith lies there." Then if his faith laid there, we lay there. And if Bro. Branham’s faith lay where he taught us then, then we got to lay in the same position. Now:

(5) Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

15. Now, that puts our thinking in a different area entirely. You're out of the pit. Don't worry about your mind anymore, people drum up and all.

(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 (gives) life.

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

Now listen, the same thing happened in the New Testament church. It began to fade, error crept in. The church went down, down, down, down, it died, was wallowing and drowning in the creeds and dogmas. And it had just a teeny bit left. And when the Light begin to spring again, God said, "You watch, (He said) you barely got enough light. It could go on you, watch it, don't let it get away." He said, "Your works are not perfect, it's not finished yet, I got to bring you back." (See?)

Now,

(9) (Let us raise some) condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

(10) For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. (Now, that's true.)

In other words, whatever was manifested in this manifested even right today, which is a ministry of death. Because the last plague is spiritual death, and that's the charismatic and that's tremendous. Then what's in us, but the super tremendous. All they say, “I want this, I want that, I want little tongues here a little bit, I can old…God help us”. Get out of the pit, and see what's in Christ.

16. Now,

(12) Seeing then that we have such hope, we use (in other words, earnest expectation in his) great plainness of speech:

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

He said they couldn't even stand to look at that. He said it got them in awe. It just confused them as it were. So does the glory of this Message! Ten times more! Terrific. Prophet come along see, when you receive the Word, you're the Word of God in your flesh. Oh, God help us, am I really the Word of God in flesh? You better be. So, I'm a part in Revelation, so should you. You better be. You get staggered back there, this will really stagger you. (See?) But you're predestinated to stand with Him, no matter what the rest of the world says. (See?) Now:

(14) But their minds were blinded: …

That's the whole thing, the blinded mind. But he said, "For the first time in two thousand years the creeds and dogmas, the curtain of creeds and dogmas has been ripped from top to bottom. Now, we see the Mercy Seat in full view, and the Holy Spirit for the first time being loosed. To do what? Not, brother/sister to simply bring people into Christ where they can be born again, through election. It's the Jews that were under election. You got a never-story now. You got a time brother, facing the resurrection where Christ appears openly to the Gentiles. Getting a people ready to go away. So now, the veil is off the minds, we can accept it.

17. Listen, you get the Word out there to accept the fact that Jesus must literally Appear and be seen before they can be changed to go in the Rapture. They'll say "Oh no, no, you got it all wrong, we're going to be changed and caught up to see Him in the Rapture." But that's exactly opposite of what the Scripture says. You've got to be changed first, then you're caught up, then you'll see Him. You’ve got to see Him first, you'll see Him in a different way to what you see Him up there, I've been trying to tell you. They got the physical all messed up.

Now, It says here:

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

(15) …even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

(16) Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, (the mind) the vail shall be taken away. (As Bro. Branham said, “Given to your own thinking”.)

Now listen:

(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.

In other words, whatever every generation sees in that Word, that's what the hour of that day and that hour. Now brother/sister you've got to see what the prophet talked about to be in the Rapture. You understand? In other words, the Word must be revealed so perfectly, (you see) that Christ literally appears and is revealed, because that's what it's all about. And when that comes, you are changed to that glory of the revelation of that appearing. Now, how are you going to have a Rapture outside of it? How are you going to be in It, without being part of the revelation? Don't you see what the prophet was saying all along?

18. Now, so we take one last look at the pit, (phftt!) gone, praise God, finished. All things see. We got to look at that. Yes sir, that's what we talked about. Romans 12:1-3. That's renewing of the mind does the same thing the Scripture says here. Ephesians 4:23-24 says the same thing. It starts in the mind. See, the trinitarian club was over the head. Boing! Charred the brains, no wonder they saw three gods. When it hit the heart, they'll see one. (See?)

Let the mind open up. Get rid of your trinitarian thoughts, you former understanding. That's the trouble right now where people fail in this Message, they attempt to interpret the prophet in the light of their former doctrines. It took me four and a half hours to get that one point across to myself. I already knew it, but I didn't know what he was trying to tell me. I know I couldn't interpret what he was saying in the light of my own doctrine.

Now, let us see, if we get carried away with ourselves, and sometimes you can in believing this Message we can get carried away and think we're somebody, because we know the we're part of the Bride of Jesus Christ through identifying ourselves and sitting at the opening of the will and all those things. And we think we're beginning to think we're somebody, you could just stop for one minute and say, "Hey, I was digged out of that pit, forget it, it's goodbye." Goodbye, finished. (See?) Yes sir, because since He appeared to us. And since He Appeared to us we are assured that will appear with Him at the Wedding Supper. (See?) So, there it is. it's a juncture period.

19. Now, I'm going to close with this one thought: you know what that pit's like brother/sister, I read it to you. The pit of this hour is the pit of 1 Corinthians 6:

(9) Know ye not…unrighteous (the unrighteous) shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: (there's no) fornicators, (no) idolaters, (no) adulterers, (no) effeminate, (no) abusers of themselves with mankind,

That's why there's no cigarette smokers up there, because up there in the future, there's no cigarettes to smoke. There's no murders, because nobody can get killed. (See?) There's nobody in adultery, because they're sexless like angels. That's why the devil is bound by a set of circumstances. Can't get drunk, nothing to get drunk with. You can't covet, because gold is just common, everything that is there, if you want something, eat it. You don't have to steal. Just like the old days, of manna, you want a great big pile of it by morning. Just get a cupful satisfy your appetite that will take you through. Set of circumstances. (See?) None of these guys be there.

(10) …nor extortioners, (nor) shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Now listen:

"Don't be deceived: no fornicators, no idolaters, no adulterers, no effeminate, no abusers of themselves with mankind, no homosexuals, no thieves, no covetous, no drunkards, no vile, no extortionist shall inherit the earth, the kingdom coming."

There, you shouldn’t have done it.

(11) And such were some of you: …

All I want to say is this here: I've got children, you've got children. They never went the way we went, and we worry about them. But God can save anybody or anything. It doesn't matter, there's a promise at the end time, the prophet gave it. He said, "You and your house." Believe for them. I don't know if they're going to be Bride, but they can be elect in Christ the seed of Adam. "For as in Adam all died, (they did) in Christ all are made alive." [1 Cor 15:22] It's up to God to put the person in the election. Perhaps even babies, might not make it, but they'll come up in the Second Resurrection they'll be there.

20. Now, the Bible says, "Such were some of you." And the prophet who came back from God… Let me tell you something brother/sister, when Welch Evans' boy died, (now I'm not knowing if I'm telling you the exact truth, but as far as I know that boy was not a credit to anybody. To my knowledge he was not a credit to anybody) when he lay there dead, his own dad did not know the boy was covered with a sheet was his own son, because he was in somebody else's car. And Bro. Branham said, "I searched the heavens and the earth in the other world, (the spirit world) till I found him, and God said 'leave him there', but he'll be alright in the Second Resurrection."

It looks pretty rough at times, it's looks pretty bad. We had the same experience with our son. You prayed for him, you spent maybe more than one night, I appreciate that, I want to thank you for it. But I tell you, it couldn't work, because the prayer was to one end, that he come back to God, (which he did) and he in his own mind was half the time a confirmed atheist, a confirmed agnostic, but really confirmed, because he admitted it, he would have to come back sometime, but he waited too late. He blew it. There are many ways I can look at it, but I know that in his death, (if you'd been there you would have realized) that only God could have done in his death what was done. Nothing else could have done it.

21. So, we've got two to go. Already the one that would have been felt might not come is the one the I received something from God, that makes me to know as the one came, the other will. I only hope they don't have to go the way of their brother, because he suffered, terrible suffering. He paid his price. As Bro. Branham said, "Well, Sis. Vayle, she must have made everything right, because she went so peacefully." Our son when very peaceful for the last little while, but for three years he suffered agony as few people could suffer agony. But he took it. (See?)

Now look, I've seen the homosexuals delivered by the power of God. At least two. One particularly I know of in my ministry. Another I knew of…and I know of others also…there's no doubt there. There is no doubt that God, because of Jesus Christ can take anybody out of that pit of more spiritual, social, national, absolute corruption. The beggar off the dung heap and make him a prince with God upon a throne, because God does it. He can do it, He's done it, and He's doing it.

22. So, hang on, and I'll tell you the way that you'll get there, the best and will get there, is for you to remember you are out of the pit. It's finished, but now you are in Christ. Because I'm going to tell you brother/sister, if you set up around you the influence of the faith of the people, you cannot bring to bear the faith of the influence of what we're already into which is the change for the Rapture.

As this Message raises the dead, because Christ is that Message at the Head of the Church to raise them. That change is going on now in our minds which in turn is setting the whole thing into the program of God. And when the Seventh Seal opened, even God Himself could not stop the clock, nor can anybody else.

So, he said at the end time take one last look at the pit, then forever look in Christ. And that's the message tonight. It's been preached through Seven Ages, but not as it is preached in this Age as at this time. Do you understand? Let's rise.

Gracious heavenly Father, creator of heaven and earth, author of every good gift, and particularly our Redeemer we address You tonight, Lord, not as a God that is a far off, not anymore. Though the office remains as Mediator and Intercessor we believe that, yet we go further even in Christ in us, hope of glory, and we say You Who came into the midst of the Church the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Yourself. You as Your Own Light, being the Light revealing Your Own Self.

I know in my mind and my heart and so do these people tonight in a new consciousness as never before to admit to Your Presence. And not trembling in It either, but rejoicing in the fact of the opportunity that we have seen, that we have heard and we are satisfied like the apostles. You alone have the Words of Eternal Life. You alone are Eternal Life, and we have seen You, and therefore it is no longer a matter of our faith, (uh, uh) it's a matter of Your Word. We have passed beyond the realms of faith. We have passed into knowledge into the entire spin of the end time. So, we know, at this point we have arrived at the proper point of this end time. All things are well, all things are right.

Now, Lord, since we're talking to You here, and You are that Redeemer, that Revealer, that end time Spirit of wisdom, revelation, which we can certainly know Who it is. We're looking at You from whence we're hewn the same a Peter did. Stone calling to stone, the Great Living Stone calling all to the stones. And by Your power that lies in this which can bring about a Resurrection and a Rapture, we claim the influence upon our minds as even as You turn Your back upon the pit of sin, we have turned ours. Thank God somehow, it's done.

And now going further, having heard the admonition, no longer Moses, no longer Elijah, no longer creeds, dogmas, this that and the other, It's Jesus. To see Him Who is revealed. And I know, Lord, that tonight, that prayer is being answered, it is not for one person here in the building, it's being answered right now for a Bride, because there is a Bride somewhere. But by faith tonight, Lord, we can't believe we come this far and miss It. We believe we're part of It.

Maybe many of us are going to be taken home, and we'll see the saints of old, especially Seven Church Age messenger, Bro. Branham and those there waiting, there'll be great rejoicing and screaming and shouting, get ready to come back. That's fine too, because that's all part of it, no difference. But, Lord, there could be and hopefully there are those who are standing here will not taste death, whose robes have been washed in the Blood. And that Word which is Living Word tonight same as living blood washed in the waters of separation. Dressed, ready for a bridal gown, will walk over to Him Who is that Tree, Living Tree, Living Word, Truth, and the body be changed and being caught up. We know that's true, Lord, and we just believe that either way, we're part of It, and we're as good as gone. Because that is true, it's out of our hands now, Lord. It's all in Yours, the spin is on, we are part of It.

And we just pray one little bit more, Lord, just kind of help us with it now. Whatever is necessary to get our eyes plumb off that pit, and see it finished for the last time. Just as You said people are going to go by the devil one day and look down narrowly and say, "Hey, he wasn't half as big as we thought he was, he's nothing to him but a bluff." So, is this pit gone. Not worth bothering, forget it. We're on our way now to make up those stones. Glorified Stones of Zion. Yes, Lord, we know that we shall soon meet on Zion's hill.

Now unto the King Eternal, immortal, the Only wise God be all power and honor and glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Let's sing a little song, 'Someday the wheels of mortal time shall all stand still'. It fits, doesn't? who knows it, everybody? Okay, let's sing it!
