The Unveiled Light

I had an unusual vision. I saw, as it was, we were here in this area, or somewhere gathered together. I suppose it was in this area. I couldn't tell. It appeared to me that it was and I saw several men, or a number of men, I couldn't tell exactly who or how many. They were strangers and they come in around us here, two or three, and they had machine guns in their hands. There was a mass of people here, I supposed to be my people and I recognized some of them. These men came in with machine guns and I guess they intended to rob us. It looked like they were robbers and they were very, very much in the affirmative about what they were doing. They wanted us to know that they meant business and I could tell that they were professional killers. Someone called me and I won't relate all the vision, but anyway, someone called me over to where one of the men was, that is, the main leader of them. He seemed to be a fellow very confident of what he was doing. I suppose he must have been thirty-five or forty years old, as to the leader and it appeared that I was just about to reason with him, or some of us was, when he seemed to be very remorseful when he realized that it was a church. Kind of like he wanted to back off of the thing. He was a very stern and determined person. There was somebody, I don't know who it was, maybe had a hat or cap on that was standing across from me and he kept kind of looking at me with his head kind of bowed like that and he was murmuring, kind of talking about the Lord and yet murmuring a little bit too, I suppose, about the robbers, or whoever they were. And this man walked up behind him, the leader, and he was going to get something open. I don't know if it was a vault or whatever, but he had to break something loose, like a great big bolt that was holding it and this man was in front of it. The man made no effort to move just kept murmuring around and finally, this leader picked up and old mattock that you dig with and he come down across his head, here, with it with all of his might. And he raised it again and he came down again and he came down about, I guess several times and was determined to keep coming down with it until he just beat the man's brains out and just split his head all open because he was murmuring and going on and kind of half religious and half complaining. He wanted him to get out of his way and the man apparently didn't get out of his way and he meant to cut the bolt in two that was in front of him, or get to the vault or whatever it was, and then, of course, the vision went away. Just about the time it looked like I might be able to reason with him, this fellow,, whatever he was doing, he got in a rage. And as I said, he was a professional killer and very cold hearted so he didn't spare the man. Even though he did seem to remorseful in that he was about to back off of the thing, or considering it, in that he had suddenly realized that he had envelope a church with his men and they were standing there with those guns. Anyway, the vision went away when this man came down on the head of the individual and from there I never did know what took place other than that. So I don't know what it is. It's something to pray about. A lot of times motorcycle gangs come by and this is about the time of year that they begin to parade up and down the road. A lot of them are going to the motorcycle races. We saw numbers of them up the road. They were having a race up there. Sometimes they run in gangs, like the Hell's Angels and different ones, and they just drop in wherever it's convenient and pick up what they can, you know. Some of them are ruthless, they are killers, but whatever it is it wouldn't hurt for us to pray about it. I remember one time before having a vision similar to this where they came in and shot some of our brethren a number of years ago and I prayed and prayed about it and whether it was to be or not, at least the Lord stopped it if it was because nothing ever came out of it. And I feel like that that is what we ought to go. Sometimes God will give a warning like he said to Joseph, take the young child, flee into Egypt because Herod will seek His life. Go there and stay until I call for you. Sometimes it's just a warning as to what it might be as to a death or something happening, a wreck or whatever. I was telling one of the boys while we were up here at this meeting that I had had a vision of him having a wreck. I told him while he was up there that he should be careful because I saw him have a wreck and in the wreck there was quite a number of young fellows in there with him and we were pulling the people out of the wreck. They were bloody, broken up and the car turned over. So we pray about those things. Let's turn to chapter twelve. We come here tonight to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus, always trying to grow into the full measure of the full stature of the perfect man Christ Jesus. My life is dedicated to God. I have no other incentives and motives in life except to finish my course, as Paul said, and to do what I'm called to do in this world. I have a job to do just like every individual has a job to do. You are born into the world for a purpose. You are not just born into the world, but you are born into the world for a purpose. You may never serve your purpose, but you are born for a purpose. We are born into the world to glorify God as some are born into the world as it was Judas, a devil from the beginning, to betray the Son of God. Some are called for one purpose and some are called for another purpose, but my purpose is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul said, I am determined to do that as much as life within me. Yours might be to preach the Gospel, yours might be to pray, yours might be to fast, yours might be for another purpose. Whatever the purpose is God has called you to it and you should be diligent to serve your purpose in God and spend your journeying here in fear and reverence and respect in God until you have finished your course. And then, of course, you can say like Paul, From henceforth there is a crown of righteousness laid up for me and not only for me but everyone that doeth the will of God. God is no respecter of person. He has also given them a crown of life if they continue in their purpose in God. So this is my purpose and this is Little Bethlehem. We say, Little Bethlehem, the home of the soul, or our efforts for a number of years here, as well as around the world and your efforts for a number of years here and the Bible said, He that endureth until the end the same shall receive a reward. The same shall be saved. Cast not away thy faith which hath great recompense of reward for you will receive a reward if you don't faint for in due season you shall reap if you faint not. So then, let's labor together, continue to labor together. Even in the project that was mentioned to me today, some of the men I think in this last phase of it has grown a little bit weary. Whereas, that's easy to understand because they've been so diligent, they've done so wonderfully, but you know, the Bible said, Quit like men, and the job isn't quite through. Just two or three more weeks, a day or two here and there for you and then the job will be completed. It will be a great wonderful stride in the things of God. I think it was a wonderful endeavor and to some of you that have made the efforts to stay with it I think it has been phenomenal. And if you will stay with it a little longer the whole thing will be completed. Everybody will be happy about it and it will be another great stride in God toward world evangelism. It means quite a bit at this time. All right. Let's read chapter 12 in the book of Saint John, the twentieth verse. (Reads the entire chapter.) Notice that there was a number of things that were said here that really are needful to you and I. One of the things that Jesus emphasized here is that while you have the light believe in the light that you may be the children of light. While you have the light. Another thing he said was, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone. So then, there are several things that the Lord speaks of that has to do with you and I and one of those things is, we must equip ourselves with a mind to suffer because if we are to ever amount to anything in the kingdom of God, or if we are to come into the things of God the first thing that we have to do is die. That's the first thing. It's like I told the people last night. There is a continual warfare between the body and the spirit. And if you are to be the children of light then that light must break forth in your life, and as in the days of Gideon, unless you break the clay pitcher, unless you rend the veil the light isn't going to come forth. Unless we can come out of the cocoon of this old worm then we're never going to be that wonderful brilliant creature of the heavenly way of life for as the angels are in heaven so are we. We are equal to the angels and cannot die. And when we break the cocoon of this old body, as to rend the veil, and when we come out of the gravitational powers of the intellectual confines of this mind, the beggarly elements of the world, that is to say the mind of the child of bondage, once we come out of it then we are no more bound to the mind of corruption. We are free from sin, the law of sin and death. We are free from the gravitational powers of sin, as to corruption in the earth. Once we break the yoke, once we break the veil, once we ascend from this old body to go into the things of God and into the heavenlies we are altogether free from that time from corruption because Paul refers to the body as being the body of death. And Oh, wretched man that I am, he said, who shall deliver me from the body of this death. You know we don't like to think like that because we like to praise the body. We like to love the body. We like to take part with the body because the body, we call it the purchased possession and indeed it is, but not in it's present condition, not in it's present form, not in the present day man or the woman. That is the worm, that is the creature the Bible speaks of being delivered from bondage. That is to say, that is the bastard child, that is the image that God will hate in the morning. So then, our warfare is to pull away. We've got to pull away from the flesh. We can't cuddle the flesh. We can't think a lot of the flesh. We can't look to the flesh. If we have our minds on our bodies, or if we have our minds on our diplomacies of life, as I said to the people last night, if we have our mind on the monetary values of this life, on the treasures of this life the Bible said wherever your treasures are there shall your heart be also. So then, we've got to transcend the gravitational powers of earth and we've got to ascend into the heavenlies to that wonderful quickening of God, that wonderful stimulation that comes from the spirit. We've got to leave the stimulation of the flesh and all of these things that have to do with the passions and that has to do with the admiration of the body and all of these things that interest us in the world, or these things that are given to the land of Esau. We've got to get out of these things and we've got to become a spiritual person. In our minds we've got to become spiritual. We've got to think spiritual. We've got to set our minds on meditation day and night in the laws of God. We've got to despise our image and hate our life that we might receive life unto eternal life. See? Once you understand life you'll hate life. Solomon said, Why make thyself over wise and destroy thy self. The minister has to become very wise in God. If he doesn't he's not able to lead the others and in so doing he destroys his own life because that's the way we destroy Satan. Jesus said, I've destroyed him that hath power over death. And the way He did that was by destroying His body. He took His body to Calvary. He took it, as to the image of the bastard child, though he was not a bastard child and though he was not an image of sin; yet He was made in the image of sin. Even your sin and my sin, and was delivered unto Calvary and by the Heavenly Father we esteem Him smitten of God. Though the Lord smote Him not; but yet the others killed him and yet the Lord, as to the preparation of a man's heart being from God, the Lord smote Him and bruised Him. It pleased God that He should bruise Him instead of bruising me. God so loving the world that He gave His only begotten Son, even the Lord Jesus Christ, gave His life at Calvary that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. And so then, He was delivered up for you and I, saying if I be lifted up, for He said the Son of Man must be lifted up. If I be lifted up I'll draw all men unto me. We find then that we are now by His suffering the children of understanding, or the children of light. I am now a child of light. I once was a child of darkness because of the ignorance that was in me and the Bible speaks of the children of ignorance that they'll not see when good cometh. And I was once a child of ignorance to the extent I'd never been exposed to the light, but being a predestinated seed of God and being one of the elect I came to this wonderful marvelous light and I walk in this light. And the Bible tells us to walk in this light that we might not fulfill the lust of the flesh and not to make any provisions for the flesh to fulfill the lust and the desires thereof. So I walk in the light as He is in the light. How do I know that I walk in the light? Because I have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from all sin. So then, I am free from the law of sin and death. I am a child of light. Jesus said, Believe in this light while you have this light lest this light should leave you and then you become a child of darkness. While this light is here believe in this light. I speak to you the words of light and you're to believe in these words of light. You are to listen carefully to these words of light, to give the more earnest heed to these things that's concerning the word of light to incorporate them into your life, to take heed how that you hear them so that you don't misconstrue them. So everyday of your life you take a little bit of this life and you put it into your daily activities, as to your practices of life, and you grow more and more into the wonderful mind of God, becoming more and more a child of light, a child of wisdom that you might be able to direct your own life and be a light and example to those others that need a light that we might walk in the light as He is in the light, to believe in this light while we have the light that we might be the children of understanding lest that day should come upon us unaware. So we see that God has done a marvelous thing for us, as I say so often. And that we are now children of light. Not children of darkness, but we are now children of light and we have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I now have the knowledge of the Lord Jesus and Paul speaks of this as a heavenly treasure saying that I have this heavenly treasure within my earthen vessel. He spoke of Calvary and now it is made known to the church the manifold wisdom of God. Can you imagine that? That now a human being can understand the wisdom of Almighty God. You know, you can talk to the church, or the church world, you can talk to people and they understand the Bible to the extent that they can quote the Scripture. They understand the Bible that they might tell you that that's found in the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew, or whatever in might be. They can read the Scriptures to you, they can quote the Scriptures to you, but to understand the Scripture as to the mystery of the revelation of the word, to take that word that that word might turn into spirit and into life, they cannot do that because they do not understand that. They haven't been given the mind to know that. But you and I have the knowledge of Almighty God to be able to understand within our heart and mind the revelation of Jesus Christ and I say to you again, the revelation of Jesus Christ is that return of our Savior. The revelation of Jesus Christ to you, I know you don't understand when I say the return of the Savior because the church world in general as been taught a rapture and in their minds they've misconstrued the Scripture when I tell them it's not in there. But they've misconstrued it to the extent that they feel that because they've been born again all they have to do is set around and wait on something that's called the rapture when there is no such thing in the Bible. But the Bible does teach that we're going through a training and that we're going through a change. And the Bible said we're changed from glory to glory, as to a Scriptural teaching, that we are transformating in our minds and that we are moving toward an ultimatum in God which is going to be an instant change at the Thessalonian change and that to be caught up, as we call the rapture. So then, we are moving toward an ultimatum. But folks, I tell you again, we are children of light. We are being enlightened. The eyes of our understanding being enlightened that we might know the height, the depth, comprehend this wonderful thing of God as on to the ultimate that we might change into this glorious heavenly thing that we speak of. Just to sit around and wait on the rapture, it isn't going to happen like that and just to say I'm born again and everything is taken care of, it isn't going to happen like that. If you're truly born again you are going to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ unless you come into a still birth which means that you're dead at birth. Then you're going to be alive and if you're alive you're going to hunger and thirst, even as a little child you're going to cry for the milk and you're going to keep on growing and growing until you grow into the full stature of a man or a woman. So then, if you don't grow, if there's no hunger, if there's no thirst then are you dead. Then was it a still birth and you are never coming into the full measure of the full stature of manhood. So then, we know by the growth that we are a living child. And we know because we live then we've been born again. And if we've been born again we know that we're moving on from glory to glory, from development to development, understanding to understanding, from thought to thought, and inspiration to inspiration, from light to light, from glory to glory. We're moving on to the full measure of manhood. That is to say, in Christ Jesus. So we know that we come to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus. We've been born again. The song said, I'm born again. I'm free from sin. I'm happy night and day. So then, I'm born again. And because I'm born again I've left behind the old life because I cannot be too people. And in that I was one person in Adam and in Adam all die, so I died at Calvary. And now I am born again as in Christ all are made alive and I'm alive forever more in Christ Jesus. So then, I am away from the old world, the old life, and the first birth. That world has perished. I've passed from death unto life. I'm no longer am in the world. I'm no longer in the flesh. I am now a new creature and by the washing of regeneration I am now a new generation, even Christ's generation. And I am now a creature that dwells in heaven. I am now of that wonderful body of the Lord Jesus Christ. For now, beloved, are ye the sons of God. I am bone of His bone and I am flesh of His flesh. It doth not yet appear what He shall be like, as to seeing with my eyes, or you seeing me but I still am already the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am members in particular of the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. In God's mind I am a finished product. And for me to receive that body as to sight that it might be made manifest that I might look upon it, or that it might appear as to what I really am, then I must believe and call those things that are not as though they are. This is the light. Believe in the light while you have the light because if this revelation withdraws, if this understanding withdraws then you won't have the light anymore because the light is the enlightenment as to the rent veil as to the opening of the Word as it was said, did not our hearts burn within us as He opened the Scriptures to us by the way. When we come here to preach it's not us speaking but it's Christ walking with us as He did those on the way to Emmaus and He opens the Scriptures to us. And when he begins to speak we hear His voice and we know that He's opening the Scriptures and my heart burns like fire as He opens the Scripture that I might see light, or that I might comprehend, or that I might be enlightened by that which he's shared with me. All right. So then, we know that this is the coming of the Lord. It is the coming of the Lord. So then, it is that as to say the rent veil of Calvary and now this heavenly treasure revealing itself to me on the inside. And from glory to glory I'm changing on the inside because as this light comes it is God speaking another world into existence. He's speaking the world out of my heart. He's speaking the kingdom into my heart. And the world is dissipating and passing away as the kingdom of God is established within my heart. The law and the prophets until John, since that time the kingdom of God has come even into my heart and now God is setting up His kingdom within my heart that I might believe in this marvelous light that from within the inner man that this spiritual light might be made manifest in my mortal body. For the Bible said this life, this life, even Christ that He, His life, He, might be made manifest in your mortal genes. That is to change these mortal genes. If I'm going to be healed then I must believe that by His stripes I was healed in the foreknowledge of God and that it was made manifest at Calvary through the stripes of Jesus Christ by whom I (Begin tape one, side two.) I must first believe that and thus believing, I take on healing. If I'm to have salvation I must first believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was delivered for my offenses and raised again for my justification and that if I believe it shall come to pass that whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord, in that they believe, then they shall be saved. So I believe first and then I call that that is not as though it is and by faith then I take on salvation. And if I have thus received the earnestness of my inheritance, as to the spiritual inner man then I must also, as to the same means and way, receive the redemption of my body, the purchased possession. Or that is to say, if the Bible says I'm bone of HIs bone and I'm flesh of His flesh, and if God sees me as bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, if God doesn't see my bastard child image anymore, if God doesn't see the body of this death anymore, if God has done away with it with Christ Jesus at Calvary and planted it in the water and God doesn't see it that way anymore why then should I look at it anymore if it is corruption and it is evil? The Bible said our eyes should be so pure that we should not behold iniquity. So then, if God refuses to look at it and I'm going to be Christ like, I'm going to have godliness, why then should I not do the same thing? So then today who am I? It is not I that liveth but Christ that liveth with me and the life I now live I live by the Son of God. Then they said, Then who are you? He said, Who am I? And they said, We know that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And so then, not knowing a man after the flesh, as to the corruption or that which is buried and gone, looking through that and looking through the veil, then who do we see? We see members of His body in particular, as to one another, and we submit ourselves, one another to this body. That is to say, in as much as we do it to the least of these we do it to the Lord Jesus and we are rewarded accordingly. So then, I find that I'm submitting myself as one to another, as unto the leadership of Almighty God. When I hear the voice of God, when I see the body of God then am I subject to that membership, as to the voice that might speak to me the wonderful wisdom of the Lord. So we have this heavenly treasure in this earthen vessel, even the life of Almighty God which is most assuredly a heavenly treasure and an enduring treasure, or substance, Paul said an enduring substance. We take pleasure in that we do not try to hold to our substance in the earth, but we take pleasure in the spoiling of our substance as to giving it away to the needy and of sharing with people for world evangelism, hating the garments that are spotted with iniquity pulling them out of the fire, being saviors to those that are lost out in the world. And we take pleasure in the spoiling of our goods knowing that we have from henceforth a more enduring substance that is an everlasting and eternal thing, a heavenly treasure that God has given us. So we walk in the light as he is in the light. The more that we hear of this light the more we cherish this light. The more that we believe in this light, while this light is with us, while the blood is on the seat of atonement then do we have this light. And as long as that blood is on the seat of atonement it represents the ball of fire, as the day star. And there's three stages to fire and that is fire and heat and light. And so then, we see the great fire as the blood of Jesus on the seat of atonement to burn out, as it was at Calvary, the chaff of our life. Being baptized with the baptism of fire, thus the consuming God, as to the fire, through the blood of Jesus is burning out the chaff of our life and we see that that fire is there as the great day star, scientists having photographed it, it is a great ball of fire. And then comes the fierceness of the heat and scientists say that some day seven-fold the light will be, as to the heat in the earth, because if God is a consuming fire one day he will project the second stages of his life as to wrath. That is to pour out His wrath. He has already done that through the Lord Jesus Christ. As the great light turns as black as sack cloth of hair, that is to say, the wall of iniquity is darkness, the intellectual ignorance coming up. God smote that to rend that veil that the consummation of the devouring fury of the heat of His fury might destroy the bastard child image of sin and the old beast to ever eradicate it from His presence that sin may never be brought to His remembrance again, that through that the third stages of God could come to us, as to his revealing and that is as the wonderful Holy Spirit, the God of light, that light, understanding may come and that the fury of the devouring heat may be done away with and the fury of the devouring fire may be done away with. Remember reading when the Old Testament was covered with the blood, always a cloud of fire by night and always a pillar of cloud by day, which I wish we had plenty of time to elaborate on the mystery of it. But nevertheless, we know that that's true. And we know that even the coming of Brother Branham and that in that, representing a second stages as to the midi skirts, not the mini but the midi skirt, as to the covering of the church, as compared to the vision I had as to the maxi skirt as to the covering of the church. And when we realize that Brother Branham coming in that second dimension, as to not fully the garment as to what the church needed, but coming in the second dimension in the part of Jesus, as to the Jesus part of it. Like Father, Son and then Holy Ghost, but in the Sonship of it, coming as in that. Remember Brother Branham's wreck, remember the smiting, remember what it had to do with, Israel under the blood. See? That is to say, the pillar of fire as he saw it over the different people's heads. But when I saw the vision I saw the vision where the fire had left. I saw the cloud come down from the high places of heaven and I saw the fire move out of the cloud as it came down to stand over my head, that is to say over the tabernacle. Peter said as long as we are in this tabernacle and the pillar of fire was over the tabernacle, as in that natural day so as in this physical day. And then as the fire came down from out of heaven it began to move away and vanish away. And then when it came down over my head it stood over the tabernacle, as God explained to me in the vision, that when it stands over the tabernacle it means God is in His tabernacle. And so then, while the cloud was over the tabernacle there God was in the tabernacle, as with the children of Israel. So when the cloud came down it was a beautiful silver lining cloud bright with the light of His glory. And the fiery indignation of God had been done away with in that the smiting of Jesus stopped the fire and stopped that there at Calvary. It wasn't Brother Branham. When the smiting of Brother Branham was there as to do away with that part of it, or that is to say that we move from the blood realm, as to the living soul, over to the spiritual side of it, becoming a quickening spirit by the washing of the regeneration into the third pull, as Brother Branham said, or moving into the world of light and today we are they that are in the unveiled light. We are not within the veil, as that was within the veil and we've spoken of that, as the man that stayed in the wilderness all the time, an intellectual veil and even when he started to say anything it was always when he would speak that he would say something and then break it up and go over here to something else and they had that as to being unabridged. And even today those that are following cannot look steadfastly to the end of that which is within the veil. For He said, As I was with Moses so shall I be with you. And we were talking today about some things as to discovering the cave and now the authenticity of the cave, as to a documentary as the brother, his name and whatever, as to him calling upon us to ask about this and the pictures, going back as to the first stages of it, as to the documentary, when that cloud appeared as a fire over Brother Branham as a pillar of fire, there God within His tabernacle, as to that great wonderful message that God had given and as to Moses leading the people out of Egypt with signs and wonders and as to coming across the blood line, as to the Red Sea to say again the pillar of fire and then, as to that with the change as to Joshua coming in taking the second stone there. Not the broken stone, but the stone that was not broken, as to the first covenant broken, even as we refer again to that of the Spoken Word, how the transgression has come and how that it only projected the serpent seed, because they broke the commandment and they went in the direction of the serpent seed. And it is said that as it was in Moses day when they hung that serpent upon a cross like out there, or to represent the cross at the coming of the Lord Jesus, that even from that time on even when the kings came into power later, years later, that they were still worshiping that thing, as to the serpent over there. And so then, the world has gone the wrong way. Brother Branham's preaching of the serpent seed, they misunderstood it, to give us a symbol that the preaching of the Lord Jesus, that they misunderstood. And they have taken the message of God, as to the Gospel, into the end as to say we can be charismatic, we can do the things of the world, that God has given us grace and we just go on into the world being religious and doing the things we want to and God so loved us that He's going to save us in spite of all our mischievousness and our doings, which that is not true. So then, they take the side of the worm. God said, Jacob, thou worm, I will help thee. Or the generation of vipers, Jesus said. And they go the way of the serpent, see? And they go the way of the religious as to doctrines of devils and they fail to repent of their sins, to come out of the cocoon, to cross over that great bridge of God, or over Calvary, over the waters of Jordan, the old carnal reasoning of religion to get into that mind if light. That is to the covenant that has not been broken, for that one has been broken, in that God raised Jesus up. He smote Jesus at Calvary and the stone was broken into, in that the Jesus went one way and the Christ went another and the veil was rent in twain as to reveal from this word the stony heart, that wonderful revealing of the light of God as to bring out of the cloud the light, out of the fire the light as to the third dimension projecting of God, or that is to the rent veil to bring of that body, the Bible said, that is to say of His own flesh, the flesh being rent, the day star appearing, or to bring forth a more sure word of prophecy, or now that the true light shines. So we find that with this the stone being broken, in the Old Testament if the stone of an individual was broken that indicated the lack of entering into the covenant of God. Or that is to say, we could say many things concerning the stone, as to one stone not broken and here this stone, as to Joshua giving forth light and into Canaan they went and over the intellectual, as to the carnal mind of death, or conquering that mind of Lucifer that got into Eve by infiltration. That is to say, the weakness of the woman, or the feminine side where it's speaking of the flesh. That is it has gotten in there and it's been a wilderness every since and at the coming of Moses, the deliverer when the cup of the Gentiles, or the Egyptians was full, as it is today, the deliverer comes and then the veil is rent and then the old is taken away and that which is of the cocoon, as to the old worm, is left behind and the children of God they are separated and there is a dividing line, as to the segregating and out goes the children of light. And this light of the children of light, this light goes out of the world. But see? As it was at Calvary, and we don't have time to detail all of this. We'd like to take more time with it, but just speaking this things that the Spirit might bring to your understanding later as to what we're saying. For great is the mystery of godliness. But anyway, we find that with the pillar of fire there was also a pillar of light. See? There was a pillar of fire by night. So then, as long as we're in this intellectual wilderness wandering of this tabernacle, that is to say, as long as the infiltration of that mind that came from the Tree of Knowledge is interwoven with our being then our flesh is infiltrated. It's called the body of the worm, or it's called the body of death. It's called the beast. And life is within that body because Eve fell into that trap. And that life that was in Adam through the weakness of the flesh, that is to say the woman, Satan, he enveloped that life and went into the cocoon into the beast. And so the Lord clothed them with the skin of beast. And since then it's been the beast, the body of this death, the infiltration. As long as that body is there then that means your life is in a prison on the inside. It's within the confines of the lust of the flesh and it remains that way until the day that you accept the Lord Jesus Christ, to accept the fact that you're dead to the body by the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and dead to the world by the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and that through your angelic being you are no longer in the fleshly body of that death, but at death, that is to say Calvary, your spirit was freed like the butterfly through the metamorphosis and you went back to God who gave it and your life that came from God is back in it's original condition. Today it's abiding there within the Garden. That is to say, hid with Christ in God whom the heavens have received because before the foundation of the world your life was in Christ as to the over shadowing of the illumination of that Shekinah image and when that image lost that through the serpent, as to the woman coming out of the man, there was no more originality until she returned again to go back into the man. That is to say the church, or the light in the church that came from God, when it returns back into God when everything will be oneness again and everything will be complete again and there will be no more sin, no more want because as long as there is a dividing line between the man and the woman then the woman yearns for the man, because he hath power over her body and the man yearns for the woman. And so the desire is there for one another and God has done that to create a reproduction as to image, but when, and as long as there's lust there's always a hunger or thirst, always things in the world that you'll yearn for, even food and drink to satisfy. But when the woman, as to the life returns into the life from whence it came, as to the man or the church to the life where it came out from Christ there will be no more hungry and there will be no more thirsting, there will be no more problems, there will be no more heat, there will be more cold, there will be no more discomforts of life, there will be no more of the body thirsting after the body of the a woman, or the woman's body thirsting after the body of a man. There will be no more of that because the life that this life thirsts for and is relative too, that's been lost off, that life that's lost off will return and the man will be whole. He will be again male and female within himself, and the complete satisfaction of life will be a oneness that it will be neither male nor female but it will be the oneness in God that all is satisfied with no more yearning, no more hungering and no more thirsting. And Jesus said, And you will never thirst again. You will never hunger again. They that drink of this water shall never thirst again. But until then there is that hunger and thirst. All right. So then, looking at the pillar of fire, having reference again to the move of God and Brother Branham as to the second realm. First heaven, second heaven, third heaven, the water world two thousand years, the blood world as to two thousand years and then the spirit world as to two thousand years. The fire, the heat and the light. So then, we find that looking at this pillar of fire, this pillar of fire begins to follow them. See? They are down in Egypt and they have their problems and then all of a sudden the darkness comes and death strikes and the first born is dead. That is to say, when Jesus died at Calvary from henceforth by us comprehending what happened our first born is now dead and all of the first born is dead and the first born has lost the birth right and now we who are born again, as to the second born, even Jacob has taken the birth right from Esau because of the trifling of the first born, as it was with Reuben. He trifled and he molested one of the women of his father, as to one of the hand maids and he was cursed because of it. So then, in the sinful adulterous generation out there of following after the things of the world then they have lost the birth right. We have received the birth right. So then, the veil has been rent in twain. We are no longer as to the union of the good and the bad, but we are now divided and God has segregated and the great firmament has divided the waters from the waters, as to waters above the firmament, as to waters below the firmament. And John said this having to do with the people. So then, we know that God has rent the veil, as to Calvary, and everything that is under the law is dead and rejected of God, folded up and laid away. And all of them that is not in grace that's never been born again, or fallen from grace, then they are the rejected because they are the cocoon. They are the worm and we're segregated from it. We're taken away from it and now we're over here, like down in the land of Goshen over here where the children of Israel and over here where the Egyptians, and when the wrath of God came upon that civilization, as going back to Egypt, we speak of that as a present day thing then the Lord smote it, but those that were over in the land of Goshen the wrath of God did not get to them because they were sealed in. Now it's a little hard for me to bring out some things, as to tell you what I want to say because it involves names, titles and personalities. I refrain a lot of times from getting into a present day truth, but as in this hour that we're living in there are things that are happening, even as to something that's just recently happened, as to the departure of a loved one and as to a certain thing that's involved there, revelation wise, as to what it means at this time. It denotes an end of something which I cannot very clearly state here. But anyway it has to do with an end of something. And that, of course, also relates back to the end of the serpent, which again relates to the change as to finding the cave, as to the pillar of fire, as to the second dimension, as to the calling for the pictures as to the resurrection, which at this time fulfills something we've said and I'm speaking parabolically, speaking as to where maybe you can perceive, if the Lord He'll give it to you. But anyway, at this present time the sinful adulterous generation, the casting of Lucifer out of heaven, or that is which has to do with passions as to the beginning of the multiplying back there, this thing that happened in the Garden. And so then, the ministries that are in that are falling. Those that love the things of the world that's projecting the body, appearance and personality and money and fame have drawn millions of people after them. And I've said numbers of times, you're going to see that they are going to go into chaos. These ministers have their mind on the world and these powers, some of them they bring in doctrines of devils. And these things will draw millions of people after them and then drop them into the pit, for the Bible said them that are abhorred of the Lord shall fall into the pit for the whore is a great ditch. She is a pit and they that are abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein. So you see how God felt about these ministers. And it's at a perfect time for this thing to reach it's ultimatum and go to seed even as that we were speaking of about the deceased. And I hope you can understand but nevertheless, what I'm saying is this, that those ministers have fallen from those places and I've spoken of them that fall from grace. And sure enough they put out the movie saying, And The Fall From Grace. See? At this hour as to those things about Jim Bakker, and whatever, it called it The Fall From Grace. I told you not too many months back before all of those things happened to those men, I said the hour of the expulsion is here as to the Judas, the one that betrayed Christ and all of a sudden this darkness is going to be seen and the expulsion is coming and these great ministers are going to fall and the lights are going to go out, I said, because they are great mighty reflectors in the heavens as to wandering stars. And they serve as to part of the light. I said, But they are only reflectors and they are going to fall into their intellectual darkness as to what they really are. And in this, I said, it's going to indicate that the grace is now taken away. That it is no longer with those wandering stars. It's no longer as to a reflection in that Lucifer is a reflection and that light is gone. Do you understand what I'm saying? Seeing through a glass darkly the falling of those stars, a third part of them, Lucifer curling his tail around them as the dragon casting them out of heaven, Revelation 12 and the battle with Michael and those that are in heaven and Lucifer is cast into the earth. Woe unto them that are in the earth for he is among you the Bible says. And so then we see that those lights go out because they belong to Lucifer. When the time came of Lucifer's expulsion then all of his bodily membership had to go out with him, but there is the day star, as to the mind of Christ, which is the real sun, and with that the real stars, which is the membership of the body of Christ, allegorically speaking, in that the heavens declare his handiwork. And there they are and they will never fall from their orbit. See? Ye are lights. Ye are the true lights. And the Bible said, And He made the lights. And He said, as in Genesis, as in the beginning the lights. He set them in heaven and those lights are there for signs and for seasons, the true light, but Lucifer also. The Bible said, Climbing up into heaven. How did he do that? By grace. Even in the day that we're living in as to the Apollo, which means Satan, goes back to the ruler of the bottomless pit and he climbs up. Made his nest among the stars, set that little nest there as we pointed out so many times and to Shepherd, a type of the Lord Jesus rending the veil, making a way, as to a door in heaven. See? All of this symbolic in the day that we're living in and as the Chinese, that is to say, the land of the dragon, as to Jimmy Carter, as to J. C., that is to say Jesus Christ in the things of the shame that He went through with, as the symbolism of it, and them the man that was a killer came from over there in China and came to him, as it was when the dragon came to the woman when the travail was on as to America, the woman nation, symbolically speaking to them that can understand. And here he comes for the dragon was right there ready to devour the child just as soon as it was born. And sure enough all of a sudden the IRS, the evil newspapers as a snake in the grass, the news media pounced on the child. That is they tried to shut down everything that's religious that didn't have x amount of people, as to the numerical thing and then from that they started a Jim Jones thing and from that they started the pressure of taxing the church as it was with Mary, when I said years ago, someday they will tax the church right when she's heavy with child. And sure enough about the time of this, this brought on the travail that the revelational child of God might be born and to come into the world. That is, that he might come right out right at the time that this child was to break forth from the womb, as to the opening of the matrix. That is to say, the rent veil and the revelation of the coming of the child. Just about the time this Christ child was to come from the travail of the church, as to the years of the misery, hard travail hit, as from the carrying through the years and all of a sudden the child comes forth and it is the child of the revelation of the Son of God, because the revelation, when you go into the revelation that means that you rent the veil of the old cocoon, as to that of the intellectual. You came over the Jordan, you've entered into Canaan. As Paul said, caught up into the third heaven. And so then, you find yourself in heaven, for we are they that dwell in heaven. Right at the time of the coming of this child Satan tried his best to kill, but all he did was bring on the travail, and the travail is what produced the child and the child has come forth as a great and mighty, wonderful thing. So then, we see that as going back to the cloud there was a pillar of fire. There was that represented the blood as to the crossing of the Red Sea where Pharaoh was swallowed up. That is to say, iniquity is cut of with the blood line and Satan cannot get beyond the blood line. But there was also a cloud by day which means at Calvary though there was a raven there was also a dove. As to the darkness there was also light. And that means that in the rent veil, as to the body of sin as to darkness, the wrath of God smiting that body there was also the Christ of light. As to the raising for the justification as he appeared in a new form and walked with them on the way to Emmaus and open the Scripture unto them as to His resurrection. Because He lives then am I alive. Because He died then and I dead. Because he resurrected then am I resurrected. And because he was smitten, so was I smitten as to the wrath of God because of my sin. Because He rose from the dead He lives today. So then, am I resurrected in the sight of God and I am now alive forever more. I once was dead but now I am alive forever more. I now am a child of understanding and light. I now do not see through a glass darkly, as that we refer to Brother Branham, as they could not understand, they vaguely tried to understand what the great God of heaven was saying as He projected Himself through this man of the wilderness, as to Moses and through the blood of this beast, as to killing those animals and whatever, as to even this day of having that out in Arizona, there in the desert, as to the open den where they can go in and out and behold, or see, these animals that he slew as God showed him a vision of this one or another one. So then, we realize that we are free from that as to the unabridged. And now we sing that song There Is A Bridge Over The River. Jesus, as Brother Branham, delivered for our offenses, and as the Christ, as to the spirit raised again for our justification, as to Jesus over here and Paul over here. And Paul said, It's not me living but the Christ. So then, as to the Joshua that was over the wrath of God, over the waters of Noah. As it was said, This is as the waters of Noah to me. Over the flood, as to the great wrath of God, and over the flood, as to the enemy that came in on us. And now a standard of righteousness is lifted up and we're not looking at the light through that of Moses, as to vaguely or not being able to steadfastly look unto the end of that that ministered to Brother Branham, or to the people through Brother Branham, but here we are in the light understanding in detail, comprehending the height, the depth, the width and the length of that great wonderful thing of God that we might be children of light and be beyond the veil, or that is to get over the Jordan, not to come over the Red Sea to get into a wilderness as with the second move of God, but as Brother Branham that went beyond the veil as he looked and saw the women in the long dresses. And as that that I saw of the vision of the rain, rain, rain, of the former rain and the latter rain and the full dress of the church as to being a message that will fully clothe the church with the full garment that it might bring in the translation, or that is the comprehending of the redemption of the body, to wit the redemption of the body that we might call those things that are not as thought they are that we might be that which we do not see. And yet in the mind of God we are and the change shall come so that all may see what we have always been, without spot, without wrinkle, and without blemish and rather than some rapture, or something coming to catch us away we are inwardly moving from glory to glory and light to light and understanding to understanding, and measure to measure toward the full measure of the full stature of the perfect man Christ Jesus on to where we come to the ultimatum as to the last one that sees and comprehends and the last message and the last details of the message to the last part of the transformation of the mind and then all of a sudden the change. That is to say, that we wit the redemption and death is swallowed up in victory as it is by faith at Calvary and then we receive the end of our faith of that which we have believed, even as to the change. The faith by which we are sanctified and the faith which translated Enoch as to physically speaking that he might not see death. So then, the heavens declare the handiwork. As in the days of Enoch it declared the handiwork today and all of the earth and the heavens is filled with His glory as it is unveiled and we see that all of this emanated from God which is the eternal spirit. So then, as it was in the days of the fathers when they cross over there they finally got into the wilderness and now God is crossing over the intellectual, as to the Jordan and bringing them into the land of Canaan. Or that is to say as they came from the Garden the transitional change has come, as to that part, down to Calvary, the crossing of the Red Sea and on over to our time, as to death being conquered, as to the crossing of the Jordan and we go right back into the Garden, as to say Canaan where we were in the originality because of that spiritual image that has come to recover, or the male part that was not in the transgression that's come to get the female part, as to say the spirit picking up the body and then taking it away with Him as what we call the rapture. So then, under the cloud we see two, both fire and cloud, a pillar of fire by night, a pillar of cloud by day. We know that that pillar of fire then is the blood on the seat of atonement while we're in the wilderness wandering, as of this human body as to the tabernacle of the intellectual confusion of this infiltration that's in the body. That is to say until we get into the mind of Christ, coming out of Egypt, or our old mind of garlic and onions, now we've come into a place that's between Egypt and Canaan and this is a wilderness to where devils and demons are, as to the fact that we have become religious. And we are now seeing things and it's like a nightmare where we're neither awake, as today or awake as tomorrow but we're caught in between as to the night and we're going through hideous changes of nightmares and whatsoever, as in a sleep by the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. God seeing us dead so that He will not lay the charge to us, as to the Jews being out of His presence, so are we dead in the body that we are not sinning against God because He will not charge it against us. So that means that we must awake, and the Bible said when they awoke they saw His glory. For when we awake then have we crossed over the intellectual confusion of the wilderness wandering of that intellectual indoctrination of doctrines of devils. That is, we're learning to differentiate. In this differentiation it is a wilderness. We have gone through a stage. That is to say the stone age, we come into another age and we come into another age, as it as been. We're speaking of the tubes, like this in electronics that heats up a device and soon burns it up, going on out of that age going on into this age of the electronics, as not to the tubes and whatever. Everything is very cool, calm and collective, as we say. It doesn't burn out the components and instead of being heat and instead of being a lot of static it is now visions and it is sound as to perfection in that we're coming into the last stages of that of the spirit. In the beginning it's just a murmuring and people speaking in tongues and whatever. And we can't understand it, but that's because it's passing through that world of static and the interwoven. That is to say, it's mixed with human intelligence and human ego. And God has to put the filter there that we call the Dolby, in this filtering of the sound system that he might catch all of that, as the filter that catches all of that that infiltrates the water and then the water comes out pure over here. And we have that that is wholesome unto life. So we see then at Calvary there had to be a light, as a cloud by day which is the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the dove that went out of the body of the Lord Jesus that returned into the body of the church and remains in you today down through the church ages until that is over and then comes the millennium where the dove comes out again and life comes out again in the body and everything flourishes and everything blossoms like a rose. The Bible said the desert shall blossom like a rose even the desert bodies that have been dead that have no life in them, but life from within will come forth. And again they'll be watered from within, as to the spirit on the inside as it was in the days of the Garden and the mud holes and the pigs will be gone. So then, we find that there was a cloud and the pillar of cloud, as to fire by night stopped at Calvary and the blood was spilt. It went out, and now it's not the human being as a soul, a living soul as to life within the blood, as to the beast, as to the red dragon, but it is now the Holy Spirit as to the cloud by day, which is the person that is born again that is not a living soul but a quickening spirit that has been regenerated and is in the generations of Jesus Christ. And so then, this remains as to the four eighty-three, that rending of the veil over to the seven years of tribulation and then comes the seven years of tribulation when the Jews come in and the two prophets come in. And that's at hand. And when this comes in as to the pillar of fire once again. Or that is to say, the wrath of God and the burning indignation of God as to Israel under the blood of beast until God reproves them and corrects them and brings them to the nail prints in His hands. Let's give the Lord a hand. So many things we'd like to say, but you know, we're dull of hearing. It's hard for us to understand. There's so much. Great is the mystery and it would take days and weeks and months just to explain a few of those things that we've involved in the saying. And I wouldn't want to say those things to you only to the extend that we have preached a number of sermons here and I'm told by Brother Cartrette that we have twenty-three hundred sermons that we've preached that have been recorded here outside of the many, many, multiplied sermons down through the years and across the nation that we've preached that there is no recording of except as to the listening ear, or the many hundreds of hours that we've indoctrinated and talked to the brethren, or my wife, whoever. that is day and night over until one, two, three o'clock in the morning, and this is only recorded in the heart. But he said aside from the twenty-three hundred sermons there on tape that they probably have enough in Brother Taylor's office, as to compile them that they never turned into a utilization to get to the people, there would probably be four thousand sermons or more. So I say these things to you because if you have four thousand sermons or more that somewhere I've touched upon some of these things and you can take them and listen to them and fit these things together and go deep, deep, deep into the mysteries of God to the point that hundreds and multiplies hundreds of things that I could have detailed in this one little expos‚ that you can get into those things and the spirit will detail them and fill those things in like a puzzle. So I'm just taking you a long way from Egypt over into Canaan and by the way of Allegoric means as to expression to make an expose as to bring out of the hidden darkness that which is light for the Bible said God, who is light, veiled Himself in darkness, in that this world is darkness, which we could say much about and that light must become an expose as to the rent veil of you, as in the separation of your body of death from that wonderful spirit of Christ, the second man of heaven within you. All right. So then, we see how glorious it is, how wonderful it is that we must comprehend the height, the depth, the width and the length of this great magnificence of God that we might be called the children of light. So I say to you again, as I read before, while you are in the light walk in the light, and while there is light believe in the light because God is differentiating at this time and God is segregating and God is separating and God is making an expose and God is bringing forth this wonderful heavenly treasure that you may have it in your earthen vessel that it may break forth within your being to be made manifest to change your body into an eternal body to where you will never die to where you will have pain and misery and sufferings no more. All right. Let's stand together. I'm just trying to hurry through. I'd need to say a whole lot more but I know that you've listened real good and I know the night is coming on out there and I'm going to let you go. Some of you have jobs to go to tomorrow and things to do and real things of importance. So I want to do all I can as quickly as I can and share with you and then let you go that you might enjoy your job tomorrow and not be tired, get proper rest tonight. Folks, these words are spirit and these words are life and as to them that can receive these and retain these the dimensional depths will grow great and great and greater and more mightier. The song writer said, Deeper, deeper, in the love of Jesus ever let me go. Higher, higher, in the school of wisdom more of grace to know. So then, as the writer said again, we're on a journey to another country. And that country as to Canaan, we were in that as to Jesus being in heaven, He came down from heaven, He went back to heaven, as we were in the foreknowledge of God in Canaan to begin with and we come into this intellectual wilderness as to the development unto the change for our growth and schooling and diplomacy that we might be kings and priests in the coming era to go back to where to came from. If we be of heaven we go back to heaven. That that be of the dust, as to the worm and the snake in the hole goes back to the hole to be buried and to be left when this whole world is on fire. The elements melting with fervent heat and the earth utterly being dissolved and all therein. And John said, And the great cities of the nations crumbling to the ground. What manner of person ought we to be in all holy conversation, hastening unto the coming of the Lord Jesus. All right. Let's sing a song. (Sings One More Valley.) Sing that with me. (Continues singing.) Sing that with me. (Continues singing.) Can you sing that with me? (Continues singing.) Sing it one more time. (Continues singing.) One more time together. (Continues singing.) Let's give the Lord one more hand, can we? (Sings Where Will You Be.) CAn you sing that with me? (Continues singing.) Sing it now. (Continues singing and sings Thank You For The Valley.) Let's give Him a hand, can we? The altars are open as we sing these little choruses and you're welcome to come and worship with us. Let's sing this little chorus, Brother Taylor. (Sings There's Room At The Cross, At The Cross and Come Into My Heart.) CAn you sing that with me? The Bible said He stands at the hearts door and He knocks and whosoever will open unto Him He will come in and sup with him. (Continues singing.) Do you love the Lord? Let's sing this little chorus, Sweeter Each Day, Brother Taylor. (Continues singing and sings I'll Go With Him Through The Garden.) That's where the secret is right there. When the sweat became as great drops of blood and He sweated blood for you and I. (Continues singing.) Will you follow Him? (Continues singing.) Sing this part now. (Continues singing.) Do you believe that? (Continues singing.) The Bible said, Glorify these, Father, with the same glory I had with Thee before the world ever was. (Continues singing.) Let's lift out hand up and close our eyes. We've come to the close of another service tonight. Let's sing I Will Praise Him. I will praise Him! I'll praise the Lamb that God slew for the sinner. Let's sing it. Can we sing it together? (Continues singing.) Sing it again with me now. You know I was just thinking. Some of the people they really are praising the Lord. They are honoring Him with their minds, their strength, with all their might, with their... (Begin tape two side two.) ...Jesus is giving them eternal life. They're taking of the spoiling of their goods. I was just thinking, Brother Mike Bradley brought twelve thousand dollars the other night as well as giving a whole lot of steel for the erection of this other building down here and I thought that was marvelous. I noticed the other day Brother Gary Armstrong and his companion gave ten thousand dollars to the work of the Lord and different ones have brought in hundreds of dollars and thousands of dollars and they've contributed and freely, willingly given to the establishing of God's kingdom in the earth. And that's a wonderful way to praise God, in prayer and in sacrificing, giving, in submission and conforming to His way of life that it might not be you that live but Christ that liveth within you. As Paul said, The life I now live I live by the Son of God, who gave His for me. Can you sing that with us? (Sings I Will Praise Him.) Can you sing that again with me? (Continues singing.) Just one more time together, Brother Taylor. I'm going to ask Brother Snyder if he will to come and dismiss us. (Continues singing.)
