Extra Piece at end of Godhead Q&A #3 - 19 min

It's good to see everybody. Nice crowd tonight. And as much as I can see, you're kind of a bird in me, so if I don't pick anybody out, I could be drawn there. Of course, I couldn't miss him. He's sitting tall on the side there. So I look around, and good to see everybody. I appreciate you all coming out. I was just thinking tonight, coming over, that it gets pretty dark now. They got the... Light coming in a little brighter in the morning is much darker at night. And that's always a sign of harvest. I remember when we were kids, we had to get out there and dig the potatoes and the carrots and turnips and everything we put in because that was harvest time. And, you know, the world is not aware of harvest time. Now, if you don't think that's true, we can look at Israel. Remember, Israel was God's people. One flesh, under one God, one priesthood, one people, all in one place. And that makes it very, very unique. And if they missed God and missed harvest as a people all in one place, and they're at that rate right today. And they don't realize that. Israel today is a... philosophical, religious people. You can read the Old Testament and they can talk all they want about the Torah, but the more you read about their divisions, they don't have an actual religion because religion needs to bind back. It comes from the Latin word religio, to bind back. Well, religion then binds you back. What's it binding you back to? To God, supposedly, right? Everybody says, we come from God, you know, we come from God. And that's all right for some people. So they're religious, but they're philosophical. And they're no different from what they were 2 ,000 years ago. And here's what it says here in Jeremiah. Way back there in the days of the prophet Jeremiah. And they were given to graven images, you know. They provoke God to anger. And strange vanities. Well, what are strange vanities? That's your philosophies. What's a vain thing? A vain thing doesn't do you any good even if you use it. It's no good. So vanity, of course, has to do with pride. So here they are with vain things and pride. As I mentioned, it's just a bunch of philosophies. That's all it is. And there's nothing to it. But here's what it says now. At that particular time, They find out something. The harvest is past. The summer is ended, and we are not saved. Of

the daughter of my people am I hurt. That's God speaking, for the hurt of the prophet speaking, God speaking. For the hurt of my daughter, of my people am I hurt. I am black. Astonishment has taken hold of me. Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? Now, what you're looking at here is there comes a time when it's over. It's useless to attempt to do something at harvest time when you haven't done anything to bring in a harvest. Now, harvest is going to come upon every one of us. It doesn't matter who we are. Because whatsoever man soweth, that shall he also reap. You can't deny that. That's the fundamental principle of the kingdom of God. It's the basis of dedication to the principles of Christ. It's the basis of everything we do that we want to turn out right and it could turn out wrong. It's the primary principle of life. Now, you can say what you want, but I know what I'm talking about. You go to reap. Now these people wanted to reap, but suddenly summer is over, the harvest has passed, and we are not saved. I'll read you something over here in my favorite portion of scripture that Brother Branham never used. He used the one in Luke. This is my favorite one. It says over here concerning, Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved whom my soul is well pleased of. Put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. He shall show judgment to the Gentiles. That's what he's going to do. Now, it says, The bruised reed shall he not break, smoking flax shall he not quench, till he sent forth judgment unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. Now, everybody puts that somewhere in the seven church ages from the first age. progressively to the seventh. And I have no doubt that that has a certain element of truth there. But you cannot have judgment until harvest time. It's the same time if you see the word fire. Don't talk to me about fire until the fire of God hits his earth. I don't hear about it because you're wrong. There can't be any fire until fire is due. There cannot be any harvest until harvest is due. And there cannot be judgment until judgment is due. And when judgment and harvest come, now remember, harvest is every plant that my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be uprooted. But that's not God's harvest. The harvest he's going to take when he reaps the one vine, which is the true vine, and they'll all be there with him in two parts of two resurrections. Resurrection has two parts, Old Testament saints. Second is the New Testament saints. And they'll all be caught up. Just like the Old Testament saints are already somewhere in their bodies eating and drinking. They've got to be because resurrection bodies eat and drink. So they're somewhere having a great time. The others that aren't having resurrection bodies, they're in their bodies that the word body or spirit body reserved for them eternally in the heavens. They're there. They're not eating and drinking. They're very sensate. They can feel. They can hug. They can touch and move around. They're very sensate. So you're looking at that, see?

You have to realize there comes a time when God reaps, number one, his own plants, and number two, he reaps the vine of the earth, because there are two vines. Now, within the two vines, there's two types. You've got the wise and the foolish virgin. You have them going into the Exodus. Now, it tells you right here, and I read it, he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. He shall show judgment. to the Gentiles. Now, how are you going to show judgment until it's time for judging? Now, as I see, you can put this down through the ages, fine. But that's merely a progressive looking forward. As Brother Branagh said, God sends his prophets, his messengers, his angels, and they bring the message. They're turned down flat. The children of God, wise virgins, are brought in to the bride. The others are brought in also into the second resurrection. They'll be coming up. Then he said, God says that he removes his servant and he brings judgment. And that's true. Very true. We have no problem there. But you can't put that in line with what I'm talking about. We're talking about the end time judgment. Now watch what happens. He says he'll show judgment. Now he shall not strive nor cry. Neither shall any man hear his voice and drink.

What I want to bring out there is that word judgment is the same word used all the way through in judgment. And it means actually put to the test and to show just which side you're on. So now it says here he's going to send forth judgment unto victory. Now, there comes the judgment then, which Israel could not have back there. It wasn't sent forth unto victory. Only the Gentiles are going to have the escape, which, of course, is in the first resurrection, the rapture. And he's going to send them forth into victory. Now, if you understand carefully over here in 1 Thessalonians, which we looked at hundreds of times as, you know, our very favorite verses, and for... Verse 16, For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with the voice, the arcane trump of God, the dead in Christ shall rise first. And we which are alive remain shall call together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, so shall we be with the Lord. Now, it tells you right there there's separation.

Now, you can't have the separation and you can't have the catching up until a certain judgment sets in. And the judgment that sets in is going to send forth the Gentiles into victory. Now, what victory did you have? You had the victory of the psalm, where they said, who is this one ascending on high, this one that's bringing all these people up into glory? You know, it's that shout over there in the psalms. He's the Lord of hosts, mighty in battle, and he's coming now, ascending up into heaven with all this, whatever number of great hosts or small hosts, whatever it is, that are rising at that particular time. Now, you see, at that particular time, a judgment had set in. Now, watch carefully. The judgment that hit Israel at that time that did not give victory to them had already set in at the appearing and the ministry of the Son of Man, God manifesting through a prophet. And they turned it down. They were destroyed in 90 A .D. and scattered throughout the whole world. And now they're going back. And only 144 ,000 out of the millions and millions they saved. What about us, though? When the Lord descended the shout, God himself came down with a message to put the church in order. And Brother Branham said, you people singing that song, I'll go with him through the judgment. You have already gone through the judgment. And remember, it is the judge who comes with the word. And remember, the judge is supposed to be the interpreter of the word. So the judgment is just. Now, right here in America, everybody's talking about who you're going to vote for. Well, we've got to vote for the man that's going to give us the liberal judges. That's not adjudicating. That's politicking. Because people are saying, we are going to have people who endorse legislation, and if they don't endorse it, they literally pass it themselves and confirm it upon the people, because the Supreme Court's doing it just like the President does. He issues his presidential orders. Nobody even knows about it. Within 30 days, they're effective. They don't boot him out. So here we're looking at today, a picture in America. Help this all get out. The prophet of God came here. They don't have a clue who came down. There's a fellow recently, and I think James Dutram's wife is here tonight. James phoned me the other day, and he said a certain man was preaching in Flagstaff on the president. Didn't even know who came down. Well, I won't tell you who the man is. Maybe you already know about him anyway. He didn't even know who came down. America does not know the hour of their visitation in judgment. Now, what's the next thing going to fall? The next thing is going to fall upon the earth, the Great Tribulation. All these things are coming. But my point to you is this. Do you realize that you have passed through the judgment? Now, realize that the same as those who receive Christ. They received the 12 apostles received. Meanwhile, we know that one didn't, that Judas, he was a make -believer in the end. And the rest of them with him. I don't know what those 70 were doing, whether they were make -believers or not, but they're a pretty good picture of it anyway. Because you don't find anything more about them. Once the anointing wore off and they couldn't, you know, cast out devils and turn everything upside down and look wonderful with their hoopla. You know, that's what it was. It was a hoopla rather than the real things of God. Although God was, you know, manifesting. You know, they drifted on.

Then you see, at the death and resurrection of Jesus, you had thousands and thousands come in. 3 ,000, 5 ,000, maybe all together 20 ,000 people. You see, they were the ones, and they didn't go through 70 AD. Now, down the road, they had tribulation trials. That's very, very fine. But they went on. They were not caught up. But today, we hear... have the assured understanding that we have passed through the judgment. And Brother Branham came and said, God speaking of you are the righteous, sinless, perfect bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. And then he said, you didn't even do it. And he said, there'd come a day when you'd realize you always were saved. Because he knew that people didn't understand sin. Now at that time when he said that, that was just before the end. And it was just before the end, having sat with him for four and a half hours, to really understand that the baptism with the Holy Ghost and rebirth is one and the same thing. Back in 1964, and by 65, there was hardly anybody outside of myself that had a clue to seed. I understood Galatians perfectly, because you are seed. Not going to be seed, not becoming seed. But because you are seen, God has sent forth the Spirit of your heart whereby you cry, Father. Without that, you cannot recognize. You can't recognize paternity. You can't recognize anything. So here's the thing that I'm trying to get across. I know it's difficult. It's so difficult to put things in the past tense concerning ourselves when we're all waiting for the hammer to fall. Right? We're all waiting for the signs to come in. We're all waiting for it. What's ever going to happen? Close our church doors? Squeaks come down? I don't know what's happening. But we're all waiting. And because of the knowledge of the impending, which we know absolutely the stock market's going to go, the dollar's going to go, Jews have the paper, Rome has the gold, we know all of these things. And we are waiting, and it's a quandary. And in that waiting period, Yet Brother Branagh said, it's neither light nor dark. It's fuzzy. It's misty. The mind has a job as never before. The greatest battle.

Ourselves at rest once and for all. Did it happen or didn't it happen? What

happened? That he came down. That he put the church in order. He's waiting to bring forth the dead. To change us and take us up. It's going on now and has been going on for years and years and it may even still go on for another 15 years, 20 years. God knows I don't know and I'm not interested. I'm only interested in knowing one thing. Am I 100 % with this word? Am I 100 % with what we are taught by Brother Brown himself concerning the end time of which you and I are a part? And that is right over here.

In the book of Malachi, in the last chapter, and it tells us very simply, But unto you that fear my name shall the Son of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and he shall go forth and go up as calves of the stone. Now you say, well, I know his name. Well, do you know that the name of God is the word revealed? And we're not just talking now about Logos. We're talking about the great Rema Logos. Do you really know God? Do you really understand who he is? All

those things that Brother Branham taught us. And he shall rise with healing in his wings. Now, of course, that's Brother talking about the rapture taking place. And you shall go forth and go up as calves in the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked. And there shall be ashes under the soles of your feet. That's coming back after the great tribulation. The fire is falling. As Brother Branham said, a portion of the earth at least will be renovated for all the saints to come down on. That will be your complete first resurrection. Both parts of them all coming down. That's when the reign of Christ is established on earth. Temple worship, all of those things are going to take place. That I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant. Now, just a minute now. Why is he saying this? This is for you and me. And the end time people, it's not for somebody else. This is bringing forth, through judgment, the Gentiles into victory. They don't end being scattered. They end in a victory. Remember the law of Moses and my servant. Brother Brown described that. Deuteronomy, the twice written law, the twice given. And as I think Bunyan pointed out, that if you look at all the books of Deuteronomy, it's condemnation, condemnation, condemnation. But Deuteronomy, blessing, blessing, blessing. Well, now, you're looking at the picture. Brother Branham endorsed that. The law of Moses, which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel's statutes and judgments, behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord, and he shall turn the hearts of the children of the Father, that's already taken place, under John the Baptist, it will take place for us, and the hearts of the children of the fathers, lest they come and smite the earth with a curse. Now, you see right in there, the bride gets out of here before the curse. But what I'm trying to look at, though, that you might understand, in your minds, in my mind, we all know, look, we're going to get out of here. But the getting out of here...
