Who is that Prophet in Acts 3 - Covington

Thank you.

nor could not be spoken of in any way except with grace and charity and by revelation. Through prayer, God's mercy shall happen to you, to be able to say the things that ought to be said, and to understand them. We are not diverse at all in the way that we do want to get to today, John, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Phillips. We have not been in the eyes of God, or through the mind, and we may do that in the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ. And before you know it, we have a condition to provide, and we do

so in faith.

Quoting

from Deuteronomy said,

And it seems that those two qualifications are the earmarks of this prophet, one of which is, first of all, from among the brethren, and secondly, Moses said, Now, from among the brethren. If he is Jesus Christ, and he is taken from among the brethren, we ought to examine who those brethren are. In the third chapter of the book of Mark, Verse 31 to 35, we get a clue. There came then his brethren and his mother standing without sending him change, or calling him. And the multitudes sat about him that Jesus and said, Behold thy mother and thy brethren without teeth for thee. And he answered saying, Who is my mother or my brethren? And he looked round on them which sat about and said, Behold my mother and my brethren. For whosoever shall do the will of God, The same as my brother, my sister, and my mother. Now, Christ defining the brethren himself, from whom he is supposed to be raised up, said that the brethren are not of flesh and blood, but though they are flesh and blood, they are not of any particular lineage of which he is, but they are those that do the will of the Father. Now, the will of the Father is found in John 16, 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son and believeth on him may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day. Now, those within the will are those who believe.

They're the believers. And that's the Father's will, that everyone should believe on him. That's the true believer. Now, with this also, we have the book of Hebrews, the second chapter, beginning at verse 9.

Now you get another revelation here on Who the brethren are. They who do the will of the Father. It says they who are sanctified. He that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one source. So we have an identification with Christ once more here. He is that prophet. If the brethren are from the same source that he is, which is God. Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren. In the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. And again I'll put my trust in him. And again, behold, I am the children which God hath given me. For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same, that through death he might destroy him that has the power of death, that's the devil, and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For there he took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Now you can see the pre -existence there because you don't take on yourself a nature if you don't exist. He had a pre -existence because he took on himself a nature, of course, which is simply referring to the fact that he took upon himself the flesh and blood aspect or humanity is what he's talking about here. Now he took on himself not the nature of angels or the body of angels or the disposition of angels, but he became one, being the seed of Abraham. Therefore in all things it behoves him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be merciful and a high priest, and since pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help them that are tempted. Now we can see here that Christ and the brethren are all one in the election. and the source is of God. So we don't particularly look at the brethren of Christ as being those after the flesh. We have to look at them according to what the Scripture says. Now, I'm facing this in order to come to an understanding of the prophet of Acts, the third chapter. Now, this is not simply a prophet in the sense of the flesh, as Moses said, the prophet of the Lord your God raised from the knee. like underneath, from amongst the brethren. It's not just an ordinary person. It has to be placed as to what the real brethren are. Now, Moses was flesh and blood, and so Christ was flesh and blood. But the real reality or the definition of to whom he is the brethren comes in the Scripture here, showing us that Christ was raised up from amongst the elect. He's not a high priest to anybody but the elect. Because the high priest does not offer a sacrifice for those that are outside the camp. He only offers a sacrifice for those that are inside the camp. And he is helping those as their high priest because he's able to help them on the grounds of what he himself endured when he was suffering. So we're taking him now amongst the brethren. Who are the brethren? The election of God, the church. It's the real bride of Jesus Christ. This is the true revelation we have here that amongst the brethren, this prophet must come and be Jesus. He's amongst his own brethren, which are the Egyptians. Now, we can't even look backward on this. It's strange. If you look backward before the cross, then you're going to have him a pre -existing brother, which he could have in a sense of the word. But you can't get... You can't get the sense of it. It is something looking forward to, raised up amongst the brethren. And this same one will be a high priest. So that's fine. We can see it's the Lord Jesus Christ. But the understanding of relationship is one of sonship, one with the Father, and he is our brother. Now, this is a spiritual election, but there's also a physical election where he comes by a natural line. And this is what we want to look at for a second in Galatians, the third chapter.

Now,

of course, this is God speaking to Abraham. Now, the blessing of Abraham is going to come in a certain way. Verse 15.

Now, we're beginning to see an election here in the physical. All right? Let's go to Romans 9, chapter 1 to 5.

according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenant, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promise, whose are the fathers, and of whom, as concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Now, there is a natural election here in order to place him in a physical body. Which physical body he has. But the most important thing is to realize that the election is spiritual. And we are brothers on the ground of the election because we all come from the same source. See, it's the one source. God is that source. But the physical here came by way of Israel because Israel happens to be the natural seed of Abraham. See, yeah, they just come on down from Isaac to Jacob and from Jacob to the top of the rock, the top of the rock, right down to the bay. when Christ was born in the tribe of Judah. And then, of course, his priesthood left the Levitical tribe and went to the tribe of Judah, making him a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. Well, the order of Melchizedek, of course, he had neither father nor mother nor any descendants. He became incarnate in a sense of the word. He was able to eat them all. I don't know just how incarnate he was. I kind of doubt it. I think it was more of a body, which was a celestial body. He came down and manifested himself. But this Jesus now has a physical birth. He defeated Abraham, raised up in Israel, but his ministry and priesthood and his true identification lies in the fact of who he is by spiritual election, which is God manifest in place. Now, so that's from among the brethren. That's the prophet. he's in the election and you can't change it from that because uh christ was neither june or gentile if he was june or gentile he would have been illegitimate child of mary either by a roman soldier or some such or some man of israel maybe joseph her own husband it wouldn't work he is definitely in a in a uh the brethren it's one of us on the grounds of election but also he had to come by flesh to die he went after the resurrection he simply went to the priesthood and this came by the descendant of Abraham now remember of course all this was not his refuge but he came by the blood of Israel or through the blood of Abraham now that's so much on the fact that he is one of the brethren who he is and why he is that now Moses also said like unto me now of course When he says this, he is typing the ministry. See, the ministry now coming in, showing who he is and the ministry. Now, Moses was primarily the one by whom God gave, God kept the covenant promise to deliver Israel from Egypt and bring them into the land of promise. Now, that's the one that Moses was to be. Now, he never got him into the land of promise, but he was the one by whom God kept the covenant promise of deliverance from and into the land where god wanted him to be now moses and what moses did was the fulfillment or manifestation into reality of the word now i want to repeat that again what moses was and did was the fulfillment of the word of god into a manifested reality because god said i'm going to deliver israel and then he his word of promise was that in deliverance he made a man to be the leader now both the leader and the deliverance is a manifestation of the word of god in the physical reality see so we're going to have to see the same thing come to pass uh in uh our fulfillment of the type where christ is the same as was moved now christ was man of the manifested word for his days to bring deliverance to Israel, and first of all, to deliver them from sin. Now, this is where you get the big type of Israel being sin. We always talk of Egypt. We talk about God delivering Israel from Egypt, which is the type of the world in sin. Now, here is where we get our picture. Christ coming in the flesh like Moses in order to deliver Israel. Now, he couldn't deliver them from one land to another land because he never came to put them in an inn. That's later on. He came to put them in an inn, sure, but that's later on. He came to deliver them from sin. Now, Moses delivered from sin, which is Egypt, which is physical affliction because of the sin of the people of Egypt not desiring Israel to follow God physically. Now, you've got the same thing in Christ. These promises deliver us from sin so that we can do physically the things that are pleasing to God that previously we could not do. So Christ was manifested and he was the word of God manifested in his days to bring deliverance to Israel from their sin preparing them for the millennium. But not at that minute. Not at that time. Israel was not going to get into promised land because remember Christ was raised up. as the brother as the brother amongst the brethren and they were coming down the line which was indeed uh abraham shall all tempt all the nations here be blessed so we've got to look down to where the scripture places it see now moses was of the correct election where was he he was the election of of abraham and of levi gave him a correct election putting him in the priesthood and the prophetic ministry in order to lead out Israel, which, remember, he did. Now, what about Christ? He was the correct election because he also was Abraham's seed, and he was also the seed of the woman, and he was also the Messiah, and so on. He was all of the very correct invitations so that if Moses was the forerunner, Christ could follow right along and follow in his footsteps for his ministry, not Moses' ministry. See, not Moses' ministry, his own ministry. But Moses was the type. Now, when you type a thing, you don't go back to type. When you fulfill it, you go to anti -type, which is the full shining of the glory of what the type merely was a little old shadow. See? So, we're going now to the full picture. Christ was of the church election, and you see, not only was Moses of the election, what was it? I'm going to send you a deliverer to the seed of Abraham in order to deliver Israel from the bondage of Egypt. Now, that's fine. But when you get to the other part, which is just a little bare word, that's just a little bare word that God did for Moses. If you want to understand that, it says here, with a little finger, Christ passed our devil. God passed our devil. And it said with a hand, he took him out of Egypt. But the whole arm of God, Christ, was made bare when he came to take him out of sin. All right? Then you've got a little flick of the finger down here in Israel. I mean, in Egypt, a few miracles took place, and you've got a few healings down here, a few little things are going on. Then you get a hand that's delivering Israel out of Egypt after manifestation. But when you come back, that's just a little bit of the Word. But when you get into Christ, you see the whole Word of God manifested. See? God. delivering with a mighty manifestation through Christ the word because he wasn't just a part of the word like all the prophets and all those ahead of him he was the word see so now the next thing you'll notice that Moses had a great vindicated ministry and it was wonderful the things that God did through Moses but then you'll notice Jesus had a greater vindicated ministry see he had a much greater ministry now Moses brought the word And Jesus dropped the word. Now notice, God judged Israel for denying the word that came by Moses. They took Korah, they took Nebarim, and they took Miriam and different ones. And so God judged Israel for their sin. See? And they did not enter into the promised land. Now, in the days when Jesus was on earth, he also judged Israel for their sin, and today their sin remains. He told them. He said, if I had not done the work that the man did, And he said, if you had not said you're blind, but he said you're a sin, rather. But he said, now you say you're a thief, your sin remaineth. So you can see the identification here that as Moses was a certain prophet with certain earmarks, he foreran in a measure the great prophet Christ, which had also come in flesh. And remember, he wasn't just the word, he was the word. And there are, of course, many other identifications we could use. If we don't get to this time. Now notice what Moses said about that prophet. In the book of Acts. This one has a background here. You can see who this prophet is. And to what he means. Not just guessing. But to realize who he is. He's God come down amongst us as a prophet. Now. He says here. That prophet. We shall hear in all things. What then he shall say. And every soul. that will not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people. Now, you'll notice here that though this is Jesus Christ, which we can't deny, all this spoken was not fulfilled in the three -and -a -half -year ministry. See? Regardless that it is Jesus. From among the brethren, absolutely the God manifesting place. And everything just shows who he is. And this here did not take place in three and a half, three minutes. It didn't have time. Now this could not happen because Jesus was the sacrifice and all manner of sin, while he was the sacrifice, could be forgiven. See? That didn't happen. Couldn't happen. Why? Because he was the sacrifice. Now the Bible said if you don't hear him, you're going to get cut off. Well, they didn't hear him. But they didn't get cut off. Now, the reason is because he's a sacrifice. Now, they heard him, but had they listened to him, see, and acknowledged who he was, then he could not have died. See, that's the thing you've got to watch. Now, if they do hear him, well, he's going to get cut off. Now, suppose they would have heard him, and they wouldn't have got cut off. See? So, they didn't hear him. because they couldn't hear him because they were blinded. Now then, him being the sacrifice, all that heard were not destroyed. We destroyed them all. All except for the re -elections, which are no longer considered Israel. Because once you come into the understanding of true election, you bypass all realms of the flesh. There's neither white nor black nor red nor yellow nor any other color. There's no nation. There is nothing that you... Not put down as a physical criterion anymore. It's all overlooked. It's all gone. So Israel was blinded. Now, but, according to this scripture, there has to come a time when those who don't hear are destroyed. Now see, that holds it. Now see what I want to show you. He was, this is Jesus Christ, the prophet. Showed you how he was. What he came through. He came through the plague. And make no mistake about it, we're still talking about the same one. He is that same one, God manifest in place. But you must see here that even though it is Jesus Christ, it was not Jesus Christ in the three and a half years of ministry because in the days of prophecy, Israel was not destroyed. See, they were not destroyed. Now, there's coming a time when there's got to be a destruction from among the people. Also remember that if this is the one who is of the election, the high priest, then we've got to look down the line to where all the elect come in.

Now, then, when the election is in and the work is over, this is the only time you can have when those who haven't heard will be destroyed. But they've still got to hear it. Now, this is what we're up against. There has to come a time where this is going to take place. All those who don't hear shall be destroyed. Notice, from among the people. Now, when will this happen? Now, to understand that this is to happen at the end time, is to read, first of all, Acts 2, 13 to 15. Now, let's look at that. The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, that glorified his son, Jesus. But we delivered up and denied him in the presence of Pilate when he was determined to let him go. But we denied the Holy One and the dust and desired a murderer to be granted unto you and killed the Prince of Light whom God had raised up from the dead whereof we are witnesses. Now how come they're not dead? See? They didn't die. But Christ died. Now, we read further. Great King's verse. But those things which God before had showed by the mouth of all his prophets that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. He didn't fulfill anything else. That's all he fulfilled. He fulfilled concerning Christ that Christ should suffer. Now, over here, you're not seeing Christ suffer. He just blocked them off, killed them off. Over here, they kill him off. Because the scripture was fulfilled of the things that he must suffer. Now, we read some more. Go to verse 20.

And with this, we read verse 24.

And those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold the two days. What days? The two sets of days. The first coming and the last coming. The days when they didn't have to hear him because they were blinded, and the days when they do have to hear him or they'll die for him. He's got two sets of days in there, see? Now that's the picture. Now these two sets of days explain or set forth First of all, the prophet in flesh who died, and then that the same one is to come again, but the heavens are to retain him until restoration. And after that he can come. Now the question comes up, how can people hear him lest they be destroyed? The answer is in 25 and 26. But you are the children of the prophet, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed. Now, it tells you right there that there's going to be a whole bunch of people saved. So, therefore, there's going to be a whole lot of people that don't die. But there's got to be a whole lot to do. Now, unto you, first, God having raised up his son Jesus, sent him to bless you in turning away every one of you from his sins or in his ways. Now, A covenant God sent Jesus by way of Israel, fulfilling the election. Israel killed him, but God raised him up. Then God sent Jesus back to Israel as the Holy Spirit. Notice verse 26. Unto you first, God, having raised up his son Jesus, sent him to bless you in turning away every one of you. Now it tells you right here that Jesus came back with the Holy Ghost.

And he came to Israel first.

Now if he comes first, he's got to come second.

Maybe even third. Maybe even fourth. I don't know. But the minute you say first, you set in order numeric. Because if there's a first, there's got to be a second. Otherwise, he doesn't send first. He just sends third. See? Now, he sent him first, which was the Holy Spirit. Now, Israel rejected the Holy Spirit and became blind. So the covenant went, according to Acts 3 .25, to the Gentiles. And in thy seed, Abraham, shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed. That's not a curse now. That's a blessing. So there's somebody here. Now, notice. Now then, here is what I see in the setting of the scripture. The prophet, like Moses, was raised up amongst the brethren. He came into place. Right here, Israel. although he's in the election, superior to Israel. And he was not heard by Israel. They were not destroyed. They were blinded, but they were not destroyed. Now, there comes a time, though, when all those who don't hear are destroyed. Now, that's going to be Israel, and that's going to be everybody. That's got to be the whole entire bunch. Now, watch. The covenant was not only to Israel, but to the Gentiles. And since Israel is blinded and can't see it, it will be the Gentiles destroyed primarily because they can see and he refuses. Now, see, that's the part you've got to look at. The major thought here is destruction of the Gentiles. Not so much Israel. See why? Because Israel is blinded, they can't see him. But the Gentiles are not blinded. And they can, they could see him. Now, let's go to Romans 11 chapter. You get the picture there. I

say then that God cast away his people. God forbid. For I'm an Israelite of the seed of Abraham of the child of Benjamin. So I'm living proof God hasn't cast him away. God has not cast away his people which before me. Now that covers all election right there. See? What? Know ye not that the scripture said of Elijah how he made his intercession to God against Israel saying? Lord, they killed thy prophets and digged down thy waters, and I am left alone and they seek my life. What saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men who have not bowed to me to bear. And even at this present time, there remains a remnant according to the election of grace. And if thy grace emits no more work, otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it is of work, then it is no more grace, otherwise work is no more work. Now people should remember that verse right there. Because that's the whole of Romans. The gates and works are absolutely diametrically opposed. But then, Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for, but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. According as is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber. Eyes they should not see, ears they should not hear of this day. And Moses said, Let their table be made a snare and a trap, a stumbling block, a wreck and a tent under them. Let their eyes be darkened, if they may not see, and bow down their back always. I say, then, have they stumbled that they should fall? You see, there you are. God forbid.

That's exactly what it says in Acts. You're getting that scripture clear here. How are you going to destroy people that can't see in the first place? See? They're not going to do it, but that's not Israel. You've got to jump down through the ages and place it at the end time, because that's when it's going to take place. Now, God forbid, or rather, through their fall, salvation has come to the Gentiles to provoke Israel to jealousy. Now, if the fallen be the rich for the world, and so on. You can see here that we've got the picture of Israel blinded. Now, look at that verse 25. For I would not, brethren, you could dig one of its mysteries, lest you be wise in your own conceit. Blindness, in part, is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. Now, when that's in, and Israel once more has a chance to see, because the Gentiles have had their chance of seeing it. You know what's going to happen. There's nothing left for Christ to do but to destroy because they haven't heard him. Now, what? The prophet from amongst the brethren was never raised up to the Gentiles. In other words, he was never raised up physically to us. He never thought. We never did have the prophet after our own master election as did as Gentiles as Israel did. We never did. See? We never had that. He never did appear to us and yet we have to hear him and those who refuse to listen are utterly destroyed with coming. See? Now remember your two covenants in there to the Jews and the Gentiles. The whole picture is before us now. Now to really see this consider again Verses 21 and 22 of Acts 3. Whom

the heavens must retain. Not a kitten there. Until the restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Now, him shall you hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. Now, all things. spoken by all the holy prophets, and him shall you hear in all things are identical. No difference. It's the same thing. Him

shall you hear in all things. What all things? All things spoken by the mouth of all the prophets since the world began. Now this has got to take in Israel and the Gentiles.

Now the first part's been fulfilled. All God's spoken by the prophets concerning his death is over with. It's all gone. It's all fulfilled. But you haven't got the scripture fulfilled concerning his second coming.

So, what's he going to do? He's going to have to teach the all things concerning that which applies to the second coming. That's a complete revelation. Now, Jesus cannot come back until God raises up a prophet again, like unto Moses. With the identical ministry of Jesus to the Gentiles. Can't do it. Revelation 10 and 7.

Now. In the days of the voice of the seven messengers. When he shall begin to sound. The mystery of God should be finished. As God hath declared. By his servants the prophets. What prophets? All the prophets. But what are you going to do? You

can't do it. You got to start. You got to. You got to. You can't take. So I'm going to start from Moses. What if it predates Moses? What about Enoch? He predated Moses.

Now, therefore, all the prophets, all the prophets are in verse 7. And I could read it this way. In the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when he shall begin to preach, the mystery of God should be finished, consummated, and presented as God had declared the good news of the gospel by all of his prophets.

you've got here then, the profit raised up at the end time must be an absolute fulfillment of your book of Acts. You've got to have it. Because the point is, if you're going to have it all spoken over Acts, and you've got it all spoken here, it's obviously a person. Of course, we're not going to carry this too far because we're showing our type. Now, this will be a Gentile. from amongst the brethren. And it will be the complete revelation as it says in Revelation 10 and 7. It's going to be absolutely complete. Why? Because the day is coming when God turns from the Gentiles to Israel. And when he does, they're no longer blinded. And then when there's nobody blinded, they all got their eyes open. Then if you don't hear, destruction. So we can see the period when this will happen. When all of those who don't hear, will be destroyed from among the people is going to be at the very end time because it all had their day then see now it will not be elijah himself because elijah has been born and caught up to be like moses requires a birth and a death on earth and then a resurrection and the rapture will follow so you've got to have a death and a resurrection because that's that picture of moses you know moses was not raptured moses comes up in the resurrection Because he's got no Scripture that proves otherwise. The Bible says that God buried him and nobody knows where he's buried. Now, we all know the answer as to how we can have an end -time prophet and not tease it in the flesh to fulfill the Scripture. Because it says so in the first six verses of Revelation 10. And I saw another mighty angel messenger come down from heaven toward the clouds. A rainbow on his head, his feet as it were the sun, and his feet as still as the fire. And he had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea. He left on the earth. Tried for a loud voice when a lion roared. When he cried seven times on the voices. He said, seven times on the voices, I was about to write. He said, keep up the things and write them off. And then, of course, he swore by himself that time had run out. In other words, time no longer is according to Ezekiel 12, 25, 28. Let's look at it. I

am the Lord. I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass, and it shall be no more prolonged in your days. O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will performance of the Lord God. Now that's great, but who's he talking to? Ezekiel. So who's talking to Israel? Ezekiel. So how does God talk to Israel? By the Son of Man. Now he's using a prophet. And he said, the days that I shall speak shall not be prolonged, but I'll perform it in the very days of the people whom I speak it. again the word of God came saying son of man behold thee of the house of Israel say the vision he sees is for many days to come and he prophesied the times that are far off therefore say it again thus saith the Lord God none of theirs nor none of my words be prolonged anymore but the word which I have focused to be done saith the Lord God now you take that back to Revelation 10 and you've got in the generation of the prophet on earth the words of God will no longer be prolonged but to cut him off to his place. Now, I didn't say his lifetime. I said his generation. Because a prophet can die any time at all. And then what his word comes will come to pass in the generation. See? So you've got to come to the past at this particular time.

Now, notice also here, back in Revelation, that 10th chapter. This

is identical to the ministry of Moses. This prophet has identical ministry. Because, like Moses, he has the pillar of fire. Who has the pillar of fire? Revelation 10 and 7. Now, Moses had the pillar of fire, but Jesus did not have the pillar of fire because he was the pillar of fire. Moses had a cloud and a rock, but Jesus did not have a cloud and a rock because he was the cloud and the rock. Now, in these verses you can see two fulfillment. Jesus as prophet and savior to Israel, the Son of Man was crucified. A prophet like unto Moses redeemed the Son of Man. See? This would be Revelation 10, 1 -7.

The pillar of fire and the prophet bringing the word which must be fulfilled and no longer prolonged in the very generation of the prophet bringing it. Now remember, Christ did not, See his generation fulfilled. And they cut him off. And there is a seed promising.

Once that seed comes. It's over. That

seed is all but fulfilled now. So therefore in these days. There is going to be in the days of this generation. The fulfillment of the seed of God. Where God brings in all the Gentiles. And then turns back to Israel. To bring in their remnant. 144 ,000. To all of his generation. And this is where it's fulfilled. And it's the gate of the pillar of fire and the prophet. Now, let's look at this. Hebrews 6.

Now, verse 4. You don't need to read the other three because you know them. It's impossible for those who are once for all enlightened. Notice. Have tasted the heavenly gift. See,

to taste is actually partake of the heavenly gift. Who's the heavenly gift? Christ. He actually came down. The word of God made flesh came down. And were made partakers of the Holy Ghost. Actually, and taste the good word of God. Try to think of it. In other words, be caught up and involved in it. And the powers of the world to come. In other words, we have the actual authority demonstrated here of the ages that are ahead of us. The millennium, the very thing. Now, having fallen away, to remove them again unto repentance. because they crucified themselves the son of god of christ and put into an open dream and it's done at the end time where the wheat and the tares have grown up together and you can have all of this if you're not even be saved see now herein is where it's fulfilled in type about moses smiting the rock twice a

prophet raised up unto you now moses smoked the rock twice he as the word prophet crucified the second time. Christ crucified the second time right here.

Now, Moses literally brought about a Christ crucifixion. And when he did, the people were given the same water that came out of the rock, but as I would say this carefully, I think with more unto death than life.

Now, with Christ the rock sent the second time, the word of God sent the second time as a crucifix, you've got a big revival going on.

Everybody being deceived, but unto death. See? Because the prophet didn't do it now this time. It was the people who did it. Did you see the type coming? The very picture at the very end. The very same spirit. Now, not Moses now, not Elijah. It's the spirit. There was something about the spirit that's in the prophet. It's not the unity line up here. Well, at the very end time, they'll crucify to themselves. Now, they can't crucify the son and daughter first. They crucify to themselves. See?

What happened? Moses broke the rock and died for it. This prophet doesn't smite the rock and die for it. He dies because it's the type. But the true fall smites the second time. And they die for it. And yet the tip rock, look what he's doing, bringing forth signs, what is miracle. And people are turning down his words. A man, a man that I got to know a little bit, not too much. He knew that he could bring the story in this ministry. Why, I don't know. And the minute I met him, I knew something was wrong. And I didn't know if it was wrong. But he really likes to run down everybody around this country here by telling them, listen, we don't have anything. And so Brother Newcomb went up to him one day and he said, Brother, he said to him, he said, how do you stand in church orders? What do you mean? Well, he said, you go along with Brother Brown in the prophet and he said, don't let people stand up in the church in the general assembly and prophesy and talk and talk. Oh, Brother, I wouldn't put my hand in the prophet's hand in the general assembly.

I said, where is he at? Do you think you're going to believe the word of God or are you going to crucify yourself a second time? I don't care. Man says, I believe this message. Now, we're not dealing on words. We're dealing on where your faith is, which is in the revealed word.

They don't want it. Now, let's see Revelation 22, 18, and 19. God

testifies to every man that heareth the word of the prophecy of this book. If any man should add unto these things, God shall add unto him the pleasure in the book. If any man should take away the words, even the words of both these prophecies, God shall take away his part out of the book of life. There you are. Cut off among the demons.

You've got to cut him off. And out of the holy city, and the things that are written in his book. Now, with this, we go to Psalm 69. That's

the crucifixion part.

18 and 19.

I'm sorry, 26 and 28. For they persecuted him whom thou hast smitten, and they talked to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. And they added iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.

They cast me to Christ. Let them be brought out of the Book of the Living and not be written with the righteous. Now you've got, this took place at the first crucifixion. There were those whose names were taken off the book. But remember, you did not see the destruction we're going to see yet. You're going to see. Now they had a great tribulation for Israel. They had a great tribulation, one Israel and one at the end time. That's when Pegas came along, a very powerful destruction. But this is nothing that's going to happen. Why? Because, you see, they're turning down what? They're turning down the complete revelation, which was not fulfilled before. You say, well, I believe Christ was the word of God in Christ. That's right. He was the full word of God. But what was he the full word of God in? He was the full word of God manifested that day. What about this day?

What about the glory we're coming into? What about the manifestation that took place at this end time when the pillar of fire came down to the prophet? Well, that's going to close the book. See, I'm a Gentile. There's no place else to go. You've got the once and for all message. You've got an end time manifestation. You've got an end time demonstration. There's no place to go. Now, we can see this clearly when we go to the book of Revelation. Here we are. Remember, that's what God said on the book, on the Mount Transfiguration. Same

thing in Revelation 1 .10. I was in the spirit of the Lord being heard behind the voice of the great trumpet. See? And then he turned to see the voice. And remember what was the voice? The voice was the Son of Man revealed in every age to seven church messengers. Now, go back to Acts 3, chapter 19, verse.

What a fresh being born in the church. to awaken it, then that part of anything presented

to the eye can be seen. Now, what part of God did you see? In John 15, he said, if I had not done the work another man done, they had not sinned, but now they have seen both me and my father. How did they see him? They saw God through the eye by the work which another man did. So therefore, when you see the mighty, miracle -working power of God under the last day's prophet, you actually see God come into full view in the end of the day. Now then, what are they going to do? They're going to crucify him the second time he's dead. Now when they do, they bring about destruction. Now, let's take care of the Gentiles. What about the Jews? What about the Jews? Moses and Elijah both come down. Either the spirit or the men. Now, Brother Brown in August of 64 said he didn't know who he was. Although all the time he spoke of Moses and Elijah and it sounded just like he meant the two persons. But evidently he was referring to the spirit and the people. So we've got Moses and Elijah coming with tremendous ministry which will fill in the 144 ,000. Now what happens? Everybody else is just there. I can't see one thing. I know they want Zachariah's things to indicate. Brother Fisher, I can't meet Zachariah by that priest. And I can't make that three fight Zachariah. I believe what the vindicated prophet said, what God gave him, that at the end time, when after it's all over, the righteous can walk upon the ashes of the wicked. And there's going to be a honeymoon period of the millennium. And remember that Christ is going to sing the praise amongst the church, the brethren, which is going to be from all ages. Now remember, God has so many sons. Where are those sons? Those sons have gone by way of the earth. And every one of those sons is going to be resurrected and is going to be brought into life. What Adam and Eve failed to do through the supernatural power of God, God will do by his own voice in the resurrection. He's going to bring them all out. Now here's where we stand. Who exactly is Acts 3, 21 -22? Actually, it is the Lord Jesus Christ himself. And make no mistake about it. That's 22, 22, 22. It's not a man. It's Christ himself. But remember, when you're dealing with the end ground, and Christ had three things to do. He preached the assembly of the Lord, the day of the judgment of our God, and the comfort of those that mourn. He was sent to do all three. And remember, he is the messenger of the covenant. He's got to do all three. There's only one to do. He preached the acceptable. Year of the Lord. Now then, how's he going to do the next one? What's the day of judgment? The very thing that's speaking of. Cut off from among the people if you don't hear. How's he going to hear them? You've got your picture. At the very end time, all the prophets have spoken. See? This shall you hear of whatever does not hear it is cut off. All right, who's going to do it? Revelation 10 and 6. What with? Revelation 10 and 1.

So we have Christ on the scene at the end time. And what's he doing? The full revelation and manifestation of the word. You say, well, I believe Christ would have to come back in the flesh and do it. Why should he come back in the flesh and do it? There's no necessity. He's covered once in the flesh, that's over. He's got to come back in the flesh until he's ready to go on and take the kingdom. Well, how's he going to do it? He's going to do it as did Israel. God raised him up and sent him to Israel first. And who got him second? The Gentiles. But he never did appear to the Gentiles. See? He never did. He never was raised up to the Gentiles and do what to us. So what's it going to be? He's got to be raised up to us. On what ground? On the ground of a spirit manifestation. Who does it? A prophet does it. Now is the prophet Jesus Christ? Not by any stretch of imagination. What is that prophet? He is that part of the word declaring that there wouldn't be one. Just like when Isaiah said of my shepherd Cyrus. 400 years later, Cyrus was the king. What was Cyrus? He could have said, I am the word of God, manifest in flesh. What word of God? Cyrus mentioned it. Now we've got a prophet at the end time, raised up with the full revelation of the word, bringing into complete manifestation, proving it is Christ, amongst the Gentiles. Now turn it down, what happens? We can say it. See? Now, what's out there amongst the parents? Taste the good word of God. Power the word of God. Anointing of the Holy Ghost. All of these things out there. But what happened? It came by a rock -knitting Christ. Now what's going to happen? Do you think you're going to get the palm of God smiting the rock right?

You won't. The bolt has never got in. And nobody else is going to get smiting that rock right. Have all the power and jurisdiction you want. You've got to come with that word by faith like Abraham. Why? Because the food is always... Identify with Abraham.

Where's the identification with? The identification is with Abraham and Satan. Right today, people are worried. They say, where are the great signs and miracles? Look, if you didn't see one more sign and miracle, you had more than enough to put you in the promised land. That's why God holds you in holiness and debt like it is. You say, where's my, where's my identification?

You know, you know that even Abraham had to rely upon. What God gave him for vindication? Well, after Abraham went out there and ran to feed off those kings of Sodom and through the valley, and there he sat. And then now what happened? He meets Melchizedek, a priest of the Most High God. Now, what was the identification? The identification was this man giving him bread and wine, restoring the word by divine revelation. Wasn't Abraham? It was Melchizedek. Now, here comes the time of Sodom and great destruction. What happened? Where's the sign? There isn't any sign that Abraham had. A man, two men come down the road, and the only thing that Abraham has to his credit is the ability to identify God. Newman is gone. Now what happened? Abraham killed the calf, doesn't mean one thing. See? Wash your feet, that's the best you can do. Now what is it? God stands outside the tent and gives a sign, a messianic sign, leading her home. Now what happened? Nothing. You're pressing your faith. And he said, we've got to wait longer. And the last minute before they were changed was the roughest minute of his life. He was less, he was greater distance from receiving the promise or in worse shape than his whole entire life at that moment. And then the word of God stepped in and he changed him. See? So where do we stand today? We stand, Brother Fisher, I believe, with the complete fulfillment of the word of God to the Gentiles. Not Israel, not yet.

There's another manifestation coming. So then, Elijah, five times. This is the fourth time now we've been there. We have seen all we need to see. The word of God revealed and fulfilled in this day. One final step. The sealing in in chapter 11. And notice where those two chapters are. Chapter 10 and 11. Both of them are interpolated. See, because there's no record in the seals and confirming them. And the seals cover the whole thing. The six seals we've taken, they're not the six seals. They're interpolated. In other words, God stopped them and began to explain some things. We're on to the fourth field. Revelation 10 is what? It's four chapters, five chapters, you know, four chapters down the road. See? We're in chapter 6. But four chapters down the road and then percolation's on. That word is the blog. The blog's real. We're in chapter 6. Because chronologically, it takes place under that fourth field. See? Now, where are we today? In the priest kingdom. How many heads?

Trump breasts? Trump legs? Four divisions. Where are we? We're in the fourth division of the world Gentile dominion in the fourth seal sixth

chapter and in the tenth chapter of Revelation verse 10. What are we under? You can take a dozen ways. And every single time you come right back to us. At the third chapter, it's closing up here. God has turned from Israel to the Gentiles and now he's turning back. The clock has made the complete switch from Alpha all the way to Omega.

There's no place else to go. And so those that don't hear him, I see nothing but destruction. I cannot see any occupation whatsoever. I believe Christ is that messenger. Came the first time. to preach the 10th year of the Lord. And I believe the same one came back as a pillar of fire to announce the day of the judgment of our God. And I believe that same third one will come back yet to comfort those that mourn. Not that he hasn't been doing it. He hasn't been doing it. No, he's been doing it all through the ages. All three. But there's got to come a time when I understand the Bible and what Brother Branham taught. And if I'm wrong here, then I'm wrong, but I can't help it. But as I see this, there are those specific periods when this must be done. Brother Branham said distinctly, he said what his earthly ministry could not encompass, it must be done through the flesh of the bride. And God's got to raise up a cross. He's raised him up. He heard the word and he spoke of it. And who is that at three? The Lord's war. At the third chapter, it's closing up here. God has turned from Israel to the Gentiles and now he's turning back. The clock has made the complete three. But Alpha... all the way to a neighbor.

There's no place else to go. And so those that don't hear, I see nothing but destruction. I cannot see any occupation whatsoever. I believe Christ is that messenger who came the first time to preach the heavenly ear of the Lord. And I believe the same one came back as a pillar of fire to announce the day of the judgment of our God. And I believe that same third one will come back yet to comfort those that mourn. Not that he hasn't been doing it. He hasn't been doing it. No, he's been doing it all through the ages. All through. But there's got to come a time when I understand the Bible, and what Brother Branham taught, and if I'm wrong here, then I'm wrong, but I can't help it. But as I see this, there are those specific periods when it must be done. Brother Branham said distinctly, he said what his earthly ministry could not encompass, it must be done through the flesh of the bride. And God's got to raise up a bride. He's raised him up. You've heard the word, and it's fulfilled. And who is that act three? The Lord Jesus Christ. How is he doing it? He's done it just like the prophets are. What are we looking for now? We're looking for the millennium. Why? Because it's over. See? Delivered from sin. Not to take the millennium. That's to take all to the millennium. See? But they crucified him. If the Gentiles did, the Gentiles never did. They took figuratively. How figuratively? Because Rome did it through the instigation of Israel. Rome would not have killed him. But who's coming out? Roman. Now the Gentiles come. But Satan's all on his own. No

matter what happens, I believe it's all over. I know in a very trying period, and I have no doubt it's going to get worse. There are many things that are increasingly difficult to bear today. But the actual pressure hasn't come down yet. But I believe when it does come down, then you're going to see. the word of God fulfilled in the Bible.

And remember, all that the prophet said has got to be fulfilled to the Gentiles in this our day. It won't be one day. And anybody else? But that's where we stand today. The Lord has put in to the final end the entire word ministry. You know, that could make us even stop and think. If we're coming to the very end, what lies ahead?

How tremendous what lies ahead of us. I'm not talking now of a ministry here in the Holy Ghost, but I'm talking now of the resurrection, the millennium, and that which lies ahead. What is ahead when we consider, as Brother Branham said, down here we saw only the shadow of the shadow of the shadow.

One day it's going to break through into New Yarmouth Valley. What is it? I have not seen the earth. That which God has revealed. You say, what about that which Brother Brown brought back by vision to us, of where we go? God in itself, I believe, is a mediocre thing that lies in us. Whatever is interim, as I understand it, is a coming into the full glory of God. I don't say where it is and how it is. Whatever is interim to it is going to be a very small thing. If we have any idea at all of the glory of God that is ours at this present moment, any idea at all, My, what's going to be here? You just can't find it. What's it going to be? What's it going to be to be in that millennium, every man under his own vine and fig tree, and the children with us, that means those that have been to the ages gone on to see. They'll all be there. Under the beautiful conditions of being able to feel and to hear and to taste and smell, that there'll be no repercussions. You don't even want to smell a flower. A bee sting could drop dead from the heart. It's not the bee sting. You go out here under the trees and the pollen fall and your eyes are all puffed up. Try to pull them on. Go off the trees down there and for it and they might get an angle for you. Come out here and pick up the things in the garden and all and make it be infected with worms and get a parasite. There everything comes into full possession. What will it be?

Trust all the things that God has for us. that are not cataloged in this light here. See, much of what's cataloged here just becomes glorified. But what about that which isn't in the catalog? See, what can God say about it? What lies ahead? See? He thinks sure it's going to be bad to be cut off. And he's got a negative view. But you know, I think very shortly it's got to become a positive view of what's ahead. May the Lord help us to have the positive view. It's easy to take the prophet's message that we're doing. and bring out the negative because my it's all there but what about those little side orders that we got little little horrors he used to pass out now and then on the duty which he couldn't tell us because there's no way to tell us how can you describe a team because you know then let's put the team where it's all gone where they where there's the highest order of the full range of all the emotions that can be centered in purity in christ it wasn't a beat god knows i don't know but i believe that we're going to know More and more this as the time goes. Because we're more and more aware of what's going on. Amen. The Lord bless you. I hope you see who this is. It's not William Branham per se. In the sense that it could have been John Jones except God chose William Branham. It's Christ. It's the Spirit. But how's it doing? How's it come about to where God is in? Where is this last showdown? It's spoken of in the Bible. It's all there. Have we had it? I believe we have. So what about in the bride? Well, look, when that takes place, to me, that's just, this

is what counts now. This is what counts now, getting ready for that little step. Whatever vindication lies in the bride, we'll just say to the Lord, I don't know. I'm not, my concern doesn't lie there. I thank God what comes out of it will be commended. But my concern lies in what's to be. Has there been an end time message?

This is what counts. He didn't say, when I've manifested you. No, he said, an end time message.

So this is what I believe it is. This is what the prophet taught us as far as an end time message. For here we see it. God having spoken. And I see nothing but destruction at the end of the road. There's only one hope the prophet gave us. And that's to try the token. Now remember, the token's the Holy Spirit. So nobody's going to try the Holy Spirit.

You can't do it, I can't do it, and Brian couldn't do it. The only Holy Ghost you can apply is the revealed word. To apply the revealed word to the household is the only thing anybody can do. There's nothing you can do. There's no miracle you can perform. There is no great thing that can be done. There is to bring the word to the people. That's exactly why I say if you don't hear, you're cut off. Apply that word. If you don't hear any more than tell your children you need it. That's all you need to do. You're involved. Just like there wasn't that day when the word came forth, the blood upon the doorpost. Well, they said, we've shed blood for years. Who ever heard of putting the blood on the doorpost? Put it on the doorpost. That's Satan. Satan is not just trying to concoct something. He's just taking that word at the end of it. But it's the Bible. The words of his day. Once you've done that, you apply it to children. I see why the Lord can apply it. How can I apply the Holy Ghost? What if the person's a wolf? The Holy Ghost can't find a wolf. You ask your soul to apply it. Only God can apply it to you. But everyone with that word. So here we've heard the word. Now, let it go forth, and let it accomplish what it sent. Thank God, for there is destruction, and there is still life. The Lord bless you. Shall we rise now at this time? Praise his heavenly Father. We thank you. We have seen today, and no assurances from what the prophet taught us, and the days gone by. If we don't look just at this scripture we've taken today, and say, well, that's fine. That's great. That was Jesus Christ. And that takes care of it. The Lord, we see the day. a great revelation of how at the end time there would be the word coming forth and it all dug to it. How perfect, oh God, would it come forth in our day that we saw a manifestation which would bring to us the proof that the revelation was absolutely just as the Lord. And we thank you for it, Lord, that we don't have our faith built upon anything which is vain, but we have it based upon the absolute word of God. and that Jesus Christ has been yesterday, today, and forever bringing it to us in his own way. And Lord, we praise you for it. And may many people hear this word, Lord. May the brethren everywhere that preach this word concern themselves, O God, not with personalities and not with this and that, but may they concern themselves with that word and to get it out. May there not be a slap in Lord God, we pray. May we be more like Abraham, who day by day in the face of what was as stern as our child, just went on when hope was gone, hope gone in faith, that he might become the Father in many ways. Help us, Lord, to walk in this way. Each one of us, O God, not knowing that there be some little sheep out there bleeding in the wilderness, some little lamb out there, Lord, that hasn't come in yet. May the people, O God, not only apply the token to the house, but may they be generous in realizing that this is so great salvation that it doesn't take in one house, it takes in many. For if the lamb be too much, then call in the neighbor. Lord, what a privilege we have. Fear of peace up, oh God, to realize it's not a matter whether people would think bad of us for testifying or they would begin to cast aspersions upon what we do. But Lord, it's a matter of the scarlet thread hanging out of the window. And I speak, Lord, we know that your word said, life and death are the power of the tongue. And we know, Lord God, that if we say that word, we bring it forth. And when they're in the conviction that it is thus set forth, then life is in the power of God. But if the other man wants to crucify himself, then this is not our responsibility. Oh God, we know the wheel is waiting, the golden brown in the sunlight today. Out there, Lord, absolutely ready for the lost grief to come in. Oh God, how soon the darkness will be upon the earth, I don't know. But I know it's just not very long on. So, Father, we commend ourselves to you. Lord, I pray that if there is anybody here that's not ready, we might get them. And those, Lord, that are interested in being ready, that they may take every effort to be bent as the prophet did at the end of time in the face of all frustration and the hurrying bustle of life, the mad course of destruction going on. Lord, may their hearts be somber, may they be sober in the gift of the moment. to dedicate, fully consecrate a life to the Word of Almighty God. Lord, that all for all of you, in faith, and the sobriety of the hour, dip our hearts. Oh God, how serious it is. May we reflect and measure up, from the youngest to the oldest, for we know that destruction cometh suddenly. Grant, Lord, that we may be prepared against that day, when we are seven hundred and thirty -three. And him that is holy, be holy to him. No, no time then. No, no time to do it. But Lord, you will have been ready for enough. So Father, help us to that end of that. In the name of Jesus Christ, we praise you. We're going. And for your honor. Amen.
