22-0627P_LET BY THE SPIRIT (REGULAR WEEKLY PRAYER MEETING)

Luk 2:25  And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 

Rom 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 

Pro 14:5  A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. 

Pro 14:6  A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. 

Pro 14:7  Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. 

Pro 14:8  The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit. 

Pro 14:9  Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. 

Pro 14:10  The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. 

Pro 14:11  The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. 

Pro 14:12  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 

Pro 14:13  Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 

Pro 14:14  The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. 

Pro 14:15  The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. 

Pro 16:1  The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. 

Pro 16:2  All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. 

Pro 16:3  Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. 

Pro 16:4  The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. 

Pro 16:5  Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. 

Pro 16:6  By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. 

Rom 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 

Rom 8:2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 

Rom 8:3  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 

Rom 8:4  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 

Rom 8:5  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 

*HE SENT A PROPHET, ANOINTED WITH A PILLAR OF FIRE, AND HE CALLED THE PEOPLE OUT. THAT WAS HIS FIRST EXODUS.

262      What did He do, the first exodus? He sent a prophet, anointed with a Pillar of Fire, and He called the people out. That was His first exodus.

**THE SECOND EXODUS, HE BROUGHT A PROPHET, ANOINTED, WHICH WAS HIS SON, GOD-PROPHET.

263    And when Israel's time was up, He sent again, a God-Prophet, with a Pillar of Fire. John saw It descending from Heaven like a dove. And He said, "I go to God and I return to God."

264    After His death, burial and resurrection; Saul of Tarsus, on his road down to Damascus, saw that same Pillar of Fire. And him being a Hebrew, well taught in the Word, said, "Lord, Who are You?" He knew it was the Lord, that Pillar of Fire. He was a Hebrew. Said, "Who are You?"

And He said, "I am Jesus."

265      The second exodus, He brought a Prophet, anointed, which was His Son, God-Prophet. Moses said He would be a Prophet; and had the Pillar of Fire, and done signs and wonders. And that same Prophet said, that, "Whosoever believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also."

***AND HERE HE PROMISED THE SAME THING IN THE EXODUS IN THE LAST DAYS… THE SIGNS AND WONDERS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST, CALLING THE PEOPLE FROM A DENOMINATIONALISM, INTO THE PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST, TO LIVE, GOING TO A LAND.

266    And here He promised the same thing in the exodus in the last days, and He cannot change it. And by scientific proof, by the witness of the Spirit, by the works of the Spirit, we see it today, the great Pillar of Fire moving among us; and the signs and wonders of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, calling the people from a denominationalism, into the Presence of Jesus Christ, to live, going to a Land. There no mistake, friends. It's not what I'm saying; I'm just your brother. But, it's what God is proving to you, what makes it the Truth. Same Pillar of Fire He used for the other two, He's brought It among you today, and proved It by scientific. As you know, Life magazine packed It last month, over there. Where...

PILLAR OF FIRE IS LEADING THE PEOPLE

280      Now I want you to notice. This same Pillar of Fire is leading the people again to a promised Land, the Millennium. Where, we found, under the inspiration of this Sixth Seal, (it's never been taught before), how the earth has to be purified for the Millennium. The Pillar of Fire is leading them to a Millennium.

281    And notice the *Pillar of Fire that led Israel from the bondage, in that exodus; **the Pillar of Fire, under the leadership of God. God was the Fire, and the Pillar of Fire only anointed the prophet. The Pillar of Fire was to stand as a Heavenly witness that Moses was called out.

MORE THAN A PROPHET

284      Even Miriam, the prophetess herself, and Aaron, laughed at Moses, for marrying that Ethiopian girl, making fun of him. And God got angry; speak against His servant. What did He do? He called them out to the tabernacle door. And Miriam, yet, she was a prophetess. But Moses was more than a prophet, more than a prophet. He said, "Don't you fear God? If there's a prophet among you, I the Lord will speak to him in visions, and make Myself known to him in dreams, but," said, "not Moses." Said, "Don't you fear God?" And she--she was half dead with leprosy, that minute. You know that.

THE.THIRD.EXODUS_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-21  SUNDAY_  63-0630M

  285      Didn't He say, "John the Baptist. Did you go out to see a prophet? Yes, more than a prophet"? Why? Why was he more than a prophet? He was the messenger of the Covenant, the arc that blended those two dispensations together.

286    And today, the... what we have among us, this great Holy Spirit, is more than a prophet. It's God manifested among us, with His Word to prove it. Does more than a prophet, thousand times more than the prophets do.

…..(JESUS CHRIST WAS GOD-PROPHET, MORE THAN A PROPHET)

HE WAS BACK TO THAT PILLAR OF FIRE.

291      I can see Him step back a couple steps. Said, "I AM THAT I AM. Before Abraham was, I AM." That was a burning Fire, that Pillar of Fire in the bush.

292    When He died, and rose on the third day, and Saul met Him on the road down, **He was back to that Pillar of Fire. Said, "I come from God, and I go to God."

293    When Peter was in prison, that Pillar of Fire come in, opened the doors and took him on the outside. That's right.

Where did that Pillar of Fire lead them?

294    Now, remember, *Moses was not the Pillar of Fire. He was the anointed leader, under that Pillar of Fire, and the Pillar of Fire only vindicated his Message with signs and wonders.

295    And that Pillar of Fire led them to the land that God promised them, where He, Himself, would be made flesh among them, someday. That right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] What did they do? Murmured and squirmer-ed, and everything else, to show it was under the blood of an ordinary lamb.

296    But this time (glory to God), ***the Pillar that we see among us, the Pillar of Fire will lead us to the Millennium, where He will return to His people in that great Millennium reign after this exodus, where we'll live Eternally with Him. He always has the Word of the Father, always proves that It's right.

THE.THIRD.EXODUS_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-21  SUNDAY_  63-0630M

  297      We are in an exodus. And leaving, and turning the tapes off in a moment. Oh, my friends, my brothers, both present and that will hear the tapes, let me... as your brother and citizen of the Kingdom of God. Come out, in this exodus, for all that's left behind will bear the mark of the beast. Come out of Babylon. Come out of this confusion. Come out of these systems, and serve the living God. Let...

298    This great Angel of the Covenant! "Jesus Christ, in the form of God, thought it not robbery, but become equal with God." Now He's a Pillar of Fire, in the same form that He was back there, bringing that first exodus, bringing the second exodus, and here He is with the third exodus.

299      The first exodus, what did He do? He brought them out of a natural land, to a natural land.

300    The second exodus, He brought them out from a spiritual condition, into a spiritual baptism of the Holy Ghost.

301    Now He is bringing them from the spiritual baptism of the Holy Ghost, right back into the Eternal Land of the Millennium and the great Hereafter. Same Pillar of Fire, by the same anointed system, the same God doing the same things! And the same Word, declared the first one, declared the second one. The same Word, declared the second one, has declared the third one, and here we see It among us.

302    Come out. Oh! Come out of this chaos. Come to the living God. Come to the Word. "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." And now He's in our flesh, dwelling among us. Come out and serve the living God.

 

22-0624A_THE ENTOMBMENT Pt-2 (BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE)

Num 20:7  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 

Num 20:8  Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. 

Num 20:9  And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him. 

Num 20:10  And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? 

Num 20:11  And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. 

Rom 6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 

Rom 6:4  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 

Rom 6:5  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 

Rom 6:6  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 

Rom 6:7  For he that is dead is freed from sin. 

Rom 6:8  Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 

Rom 6:9  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 

Rom 6:10  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 

Col 2:11  In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 

Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 

Col 2:13  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 

Col 2:14  Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 

Col 3:1  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 

Col 3:2  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 

Col 3:3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 

Col 3:4  When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 

Col 3:5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

*HOW DO WE GET IN CHRIST? I CORINTHIANS 12:13

THE.ENTOMBMENT_  JEFF.IN  ER 55-72  SATURDAY_  57-0420

  49    How do we get in Christ? I Corinthians 12:13, "By one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body, and become fellow citizens of the Kingdom of God." We profess to be pilgrims and strangers on this earth any more, not seeking these worldly things, but looking for the coming of the blessed King to take over the domain from sea to boundless sea, when He comes in His glory. Certainly, we look for His coming.

AND THEN NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, BUT THAT'S WHAT JESUS HAD IN HIS MIND WHEN HE WAS HERE ON EARTH, WAS THAT INFALLIBILITY OF GOD'S ETERNAL WORD.

THE.ENTOMBMENT_  JEFF.IN  ER 55-72  SATURDAY_  57-0420

  50    And then no doubt in my mind, but that's what Jesus had in His mind when He was here on earth, was that infallibility of God's eternal Word. For we know that in Him dwelt the Fullness of the Godhead Body. The entire Godhead was in Him. He was both Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but dwelt in a human form; the theophany of God, the great image of God that He made man in, then placed him in the earth... He had a body. God isn't without a body. God's got a body, and it looks like a man. Moses saw it; others saw it, and it looks like a man.

 

*FOR EVERYTHING IN EARTH IS JUST A PATTERN OF THAT WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.

And it's just an impression, this is, of what that is. And everything on earth, the beauty, the sweetness, the beauty of the earth, is nothing else in the world but an answer to a far better than that, that waits us when we leave this world. For everything in earth is just a pattern of that which is in heaven. Everything that's good, everything that's righteous, everything that's beautiful, trees, birds, everything is just a pattern of what's in heaven.

 

*WHAT A BEAUTIFUL; NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL, BUT IT IS THE REAL SOLEMN TRUTH OF GOD'S ETERNAL WORD, THAT WE'LL BE LIKE HIM.

Our own life is just a pattern. It's just a shadow, and not the real thing. It's the negative side. It takes death to develop the picture, to put us back in the theophany we come from. Then in the resurrection we come in His likeness, a resurrected body. What a beautiful; not only beautiful, but it is the real solemn truth of God's eternal Word, that we'll be like Him.

*THE BIBLE IS GOD'S SPIRITUAL DIET FOR HIS CHURCH. AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE ONE WHO BRINGS IT TO YOU AND PLACES IT IN THE HEART

THE.ENTOMBMENT_  JEFF.IN  ER 55-72  SATURDAY_  57-0420

  53    Notice. Now, Jesus, invested with all the powers of God, but when He met Satan, He never used any of His powers. He only referred to the Word. He did. He said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.'"

Then how can you say you can stay home and be just as good a Christian as you would be at church? You can't do it. Read the Word. The Holy Spirit feeds on the Word. The Bible is God's spiritual diet for His church. And the Holy Spirit is the One Who brings It to you and places It in the heart; and with thanksgiving you water It. And every Divine promise will produce just exactly what God said it would do. It's got to. It's His Word, and It's Life.

But notice Jesus in the last hour or two of His life, many, many prophecies was fulfilled….. OUTSTANDING PROPHECIES WAS FULFILLED IN THE LAST TWO OR THREE HOURS OF HIS LIFE.

THE.ENTOMBMENT_  JEFF.IN  ER 55-72  SATURDAY_  57-0420

  55    Now, I'd forgot that I was just supposed to have a half hour. It takes me so long to get to what I want to say.

But notice Jesus in the last hour or two of His life, many, many prophecies was fulfilled.

Someone said to me, "Brother Branham, this has to happen, and that has to happen."

I said, "It could happen in an hour."

If you'll read the 22nd Psalm and then watch His dying hour at the cross, I just forget now how many outstanding prophecies was fulfilled in the last two or three hours of His life. Certainly, "They pierced My feet and My hands. My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" and so forth, as David cried it.

THE.ENTOMBMENT_  JEFF.IN  ER 55-72  SATURDAY_  57-0420

  59    And then another thing I want you to notice the Truth, the infallible part of God's Word. The Bible said, "He keeps all His bones; not one of them is broken." For in the type, the paschal lamb was a type of it. The lamb must be without a blemish; no broken bones must be in the lamb. And at the hour when He was--He had died, they went up to break His legs with a hammer. And just before... Look at that very crucial moment. The man with the hammer, ready to strike his legs, but God's Word said, "There'll not be one bone broke in His body." How is it going to happen? We get in a hurry.

*NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, BELIEVE IT ANYHOW. THAT'S THE WAY THE REST OF THEM HAD TO BELIEVE IT, AND WE'RE NOT EXCLUDED FROM THAT

THE.ENTOMBMENT_  JEFF.IN  ER 55-72  SATURDAY_  57-0420

  60    God's Word is eternal. If God's Word is that perfect, them who are in Christ is just as sure to raise as there is a resurrection. God's just as obligated to His Word to heal you, as He is to save you. For He... It's His Word that promised it. It's God's Word, and we have no right to take away from It, but just say, "It's the Truth." Believe It. No matter what happens, believe It anyhow. That's the way the rest of them had to believe It, and we're not excluded from that. God gave Palestine to Israel, but they had to fight for every inch of ground they got. The promise is yours, but you have to fight for every inch you claim; the devil will see to that: certainly he will.

BUT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH DEVILS IN ALL DARK TORMENT TO LET THAT HAMMER STRIKE THAT PRECIOUS BODY.

THE.ENTOMBMENT_  JEFF.IN  ER 55-72  SATURDAY_  57-0420

  61    But notice when they were ready to break the legs of our Lord Jesus, if that hammer would have struck the leg and broke it, God would've been found false. But there wasn't enough devils in all dark torment to let that hammer strike that precious body. For David, eight hundred years before then, said there'll not be one bone broke in His body. God's Word has to stand Truth.

But what did they do then? They took a spear and rammed it in His side, and Blood and water came out, to fulfill what the Bible said, "They pierced My hands and My side." The Word was fulfilled.

THE.ENTOMBMENT_  JEFF.IN  ER 55-72  SATURDAY_  57-0420

  63    Now when He was dying, oh, what a dreadful hour... I think of that song, and honest, it just makes me feel terrible, when I think that song that the poet wrote many years ago.

Mid rendering rocks and darkening skies,

My Saviour bowed His head and died;

The opened veil revealed the way

To Heavens joys and endless day.

 

*IF HE DIDN'T, IT WAS DOOM FOR HIS CHILDREN, IT WAS DOOM FOR THE CREATURES. BUT HE HAD TO DIE TO SAVE HIS PEOPLE.

And when He was hanging there, bleeding and dying, when He bowed His head. The sun got so ashamed of hisself to look down upon mortal creatures who God made in His image; would have to pay such a price as that to redeem it; the sun refused to look down on the earth in that hour. The moon was so embarrassed till he withdrawed his place. And the stars turned their back to the earth. What a horrible thing sin must be, how God had to deal with it.

THE.ENTOMBMENT_  JEFF.IN  ER 55-72  SATURDAY_  57-0420

  65    And to see those mocking priests, with spit hanging in His face. A man hit Him on the head with a reed and said, "If you're a prophet, tell us who hit you." One of them pulled the beard from His face, and smacked Him on the face, and wanted Him to take up for Himself.

He said, "If My Kingdom was of this world, I would straightway call My Father, He'd send Me twelve legions of Angels."

It could've been changed, but how could He do it? He just couldn't do it, for it was His Own children crying out for His Blood. Could you imagine a daddy, a father, with his own children in darkness crying out for their own father's blood? That's the reason He could do nothing else but die. If He didn't, it was doom for His children, it was doom for the creatures. But He had to die to save His people.

 

 

22-0620P_THE THIRD EXODUS (REGULAR WEEKLY PRAYER MEETING)

Exo 3:1  Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

Exo 3:2  And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 

Exo 3:3  And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 

Exo 3:4  And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 

Exo 3:5  And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 

Exo 3:6  Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

Exo 3:7  And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 

Exo 3:8  And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 

Exo 3:9  Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. 

Exo 3:10  Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. 

Exo 3:11  And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? 

Exo 3:12  And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. 

Exo 3:13  And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 

Exo 3:14  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 

THE THIRD EXODUS

 

54 Now we’re going to speak, this morning, on the subject of the second exodus of God’s people, or the calling out of God’s people. Exodus means “brought out; called out; taken away from.” And I want to use that as a subject, of the second exodus of God’s people. [Brother Branham titles it, The Third Exodus, in the evening service—Ed.]

55 Now, they’ve had many exoduses, of course, but I’m speaking on the time that God called an exodus, a separation from where they were, at the present time. Here, God is making ready to fulfill His Divine promised Word that He had give to Abraham, and to Isaac, and to Jacob. Years, hundreds of years had passed, but, yet, God never forgets His promise. In the season, the due time, God always makes His promise right.

    63-0630M - The Third Exodus Rev. William Marrion Branham

56 Therefore, you can rest assure that what God has promised in this Bible, He’s going to do it. Just no need of trying to think anything else, and say, “Well, the prophet was, maybe, was wrong,” or, “that couldn’t happen in this day.” Looked almost impossible then, more impossible than it does now. But God did it, anyhow, because He promised He would do it.

57 And look how simple He does it. “I have come down. I heard the cry. I remember My promise. And I’ve come down to do it, and I’m sending you. You do it. I’m going to be with you. Certainly, I’ll be with you. My never—never-failing Presence will be with you wherever you go. Don’t be afraid.” See? “I’m coming down to deliver.” I’m sure the spiritual mind catches that. See? See? “I—I’m—I’m going to send you, to bring My people to an exodus. Call them out, and I’ll be with you.”
    63-0630M - The Third Exodus. Rev. William Marrion Branham

261 God always goes in threes. He’s perfect in threes. You all notice my preaching, it’s always threes and sevens. Uh-huh. Seven is the “complete.” Threes is His “perfection.” First, Second, and Third Pull. And, oh, all, everything. See? Justification, sanctification, baptism the Holy Ghost. Father, Son, Holy Gho-…Everything! See? Notice.

262 What did He do, the first exodus? He sent a prophet, anointed with a Pillar of Fire, and He called the people out. That was His first exodus.

263 And when Israel’s time was up, He sent again, a God-Prophet, with a Pillar of Fire. John saw It descending from Heaven like a dove. And He said, “I go to God and I return to God.”

264 After His death, burial and resurrection; Saul of Tarsus, on his road down to Damascus, saw that same Pillar of Fire. And him being a Hebrew, well taught in the Word, said, “Lord, Who are You?” He knew it was the Lord, that Pillar of Fire. He was a Hebrew. Said, “Who are You?”

And He said, “I am Jesus.”

265 The second exodus, He brought a Prophet, anointed, which was His Son, God-Prophet. Moses said He would be a Prophet; and had the Pillar of Fire, and done signs and wonders. And that same Prophet said, that, “Whosoever believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also.”

266 And here He promised the same thing in the exodus in the last days, and He cannot change it. And by scientific proof, by the witness of the Spirit, by the works of the Spirit, we see it today, the great Pillar of Fire moving among us; and the signs and wonders of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, calling the people from a denominationalism, into the Presence of Jesus Christ, to live, going to a Land. There no mistake, friends. It’s not what I’m saying; I’m just your brother. But, it’s what God is proving to you, what makes it the Truth. Same Pillar of Fire He used for the other two, He’s brought It among you today, and proved It by scientific. As you know, Life magazine packed It last month, over there.

299 The first exodus, what did He do? He brought them out of a natural land, to a natural land.

300 The second exodus, He brought them out from a spiritual condition, into a spiritual baptism of the Holy Ghost.

301 Now He is bringing them from the spiritual baptism of the Holy Ghost, right back into the Eternal Land of the Millennium and the great Hereafter. Same Pillar of Fire, by the same anointed system, the same God doing the same things! And the same Word, declared the first one, declared the second one. The same Word, declared the second one, has declared the third one, and here we see It among us.

302 Come out. Oh! Come out of this chaos. Come to the living God. Come to the Word. “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” And now He’s in our flesh, dwelling among us. Come out and serve the living God.

58 Now, how—how we can rest, how faith can catch that hold there. See? God is going to do it. He promised it. No matter how, what the circumstances is, or what anyone else says, God is going to do it, anyhow, ’cause He promised to it. And He does it so simple, that, it—it goes over the—the understanding of the cultured mind who would try to reason about it, “How could it be?”

59 I don’t mean to say that a man now, with a good, strong mind, fine education, that that man won’t understand It. That’s all right, and wonderful, as long as he uses that not to reason, but, that culture that he’s got, to believe God. Let it be converted unto the simplicity of listening to what God has said, and believe It. His culture will help him then.

60 Notice. But when the man tries to reason, “It couldn’t be done,” then that drives him away from God, constantly, all the time, when he’s trying to—to listen to what, his own understanding. See? If you don’t understand, and the Bible says a certain thing, just punctuate It, “Amen.” Just let it go like that.

62 Before we can find out what this exodus means, and I’m going to type the exodus now…exodus then, with the exodus now, and watch if it isn’t run exactly parallel. One of them is natural. And the very same things that He did in the natural, He’s typing it again, antityping it in spiritual, a spiritual exodus.

64 But, first, we must review Genesis to see why they were down in Egypt. Why would God’s people be out of that land? But after all, God promised that, right there where the beginning was, with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, in Palestine, God gave them that land, and said, “This is it.” Oh, then, why would the people not be in the place that God provided them?

65 That’s the question of today, also. God give us a Pentecost. He give us the Book of Acts. He give us the Holy Spirit, to lead us and guide us. He give us a Land. And why are we out of It? Why is the church out of It? Why isn’t the great Christian church today living again like the Book of Acts, bringing forth the same thing? There’s some reason for it.

66 We all know that we’re broke up, and we’re in a terrible condition. And the most terrible condition that—that Christianity has ever lived in, is today. And we’re on the…right on the brim or the brink of—of a great, terrific judgment laying for the church. And before this judgment can happen, God is calling an exodus, just like He did then. The Amorites’ sins was heaped up, so He—He’s calling a—a spiritual exodus. Now let’s go back just a moment, in type, and find out.

67 They went down in Egypt, all because of the jealousy of a brother. That’s the reason that Israel was in Egypt at that time, out of the land. Remember, God’s promises was only as long as they stayed in that land.

71 Notice now. Read the story when you can, of Joseph, being born the later of his brethren, next to the last. The spiritual mind will catch that right now. He wasn’t the last child; Benjamin was. But, in the excommunication, watch. Joseph and Benjamin were full-blooded brothers, and the only two that was brothers. Never did Benjamin get the recognition until he met Joseph. And above the rest of them, Benjamin is given a double portion of everything that Joseph give. All right. Notice now, we find that down there, they were…

72 He was taken from his brothers because that he was spiritual. He was a great man, although the humblest of the bunch, the least of the bunch. “And they hated him without a cause.” They should not have hated him. They should have respected him. Because, why did they hate him? Because he was a brother? Not exactly that. They hated him because that God dealt with him more than He did the rest of them. See? He give him a—a—a—a spiritual understanding. He could interpret dreams, perfectly. And he could foretell things that would come to pass, perfectly, just exactly the way they were. And he—and he didn’t pull no punches.

73 He saw the—the dream of those sheaves bowing before his sheaves, and his brothers then got angry with him. Said, “I guess, then, you little holy-roller,” in other words, “we’ll have to bow down before you someday?” But that’s the way it happened. See? How were those great big giants ever bow before that little, insignificant fellow standing there? But they did it, they sure did, and pleaded for mercy. But he hadn’t come in power, yet, you see. He was only then just in the child form.

74 And then we find out, by doing this, that Joseph was taken from among his brethren, the denominations, and set out to himself. See? His brothers, all in the land. And then there come such a great thing. We realize that Israel…as long as they dwelt in their dwelling place, and kept up. Now, that’s one good thing, to stay in the place. Positionally, that’s right. But, they got rid of the Spirit.

75 The fundamentals, today, positionally knows what they are, by intellectual conception of the Bible, but there’s no Spirit. They’ve rejected Joseph, turned Him out. They wanted nothing to do with It. “It’s a bunch of holy-rollers. It’s a…We want nothing to do with It.” They’ve excommunicated Him, sold Him out, to the world. They were out of their fellowship.

76 Now, by doing that, they were taken out of place, taken down into Egypt, later on.

77 Now, the story of this jealous brothers is certainly of great comparison with the spiritual side of it today. We—we all are aware of that, that it’s pure jealousy, not pure. It’s old, dirty, filthy jealousy. See? There’s no purity in jealousy. See? It’s nothing but filthy jealousy. When, they see the same Bible, and the nature of the same God that wrote the Bible, vindicating Himself, and then turn That down without a reason. Pure…Well, not pure. As I said, it’s dirty jealousy. Watching God heal the sick, raise up the dead, the same God that lived in the days of the apostles! The same Gospel that they wrote, for this spiritual journey, is the same God that does the same thing. So they’re nothing but jealousy, has excommunicated, “And we’ll not have It among our people.” See? Run them off!

78 They thought, the brethren, that they would never have use for a man like that, so, “Why not just get rid of him?”

79 That’s what, same thing has happened today. They think, that, “Because that our churches has become intellectual, that we got the best-dressed crowds, the biggest organization, the most smartest ministers, that we have no use of the Holy Spirit in the way that It was back there.” That, they are full. In other words, actions speaks louder than words: That their seminaries, and their…the brain of their—their being, and their coming together and—and discussing this thing, are more able, with their own intellectual minds, to set a Church in order, better than what the Holy Spirit could do it. So, they don’t need It any longer. “It’s Something that we don’t need today. It’s, the days of that is passed.” Now, isn’t that just right? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] “We don’t need the Holy Spirit to heal the sick. We got doctors. We don’t need the Holy Spirit to speak with tongues. We’re all intelligent people.” And when you do, you take, right from your framework, the Lifeline.

88 And the Church has to do the same thing; get out of that group of rejecters, over into the promise, before Messiah can ever be manifested before them. You see it? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] The Life of the Messiah, manifested, making a Church ready, a Bride.

89 A woman marry a man, and disagreeing with him, it would be some kind of a—a fuss, continually. But when a man and his wife, his girlfriend, his espoused, when they are in perfect harmony, like one soul and one mind, because they’re going to be one flesh.

90 Then, when the Church can get in such harmony with God, until the manifestation of the Bridegroom is manifested in the Bride, because they’re going to be one! Oh, what a great lesson. All right.

97 Now, we find out that all this has took place, because, waited. Revivals: the Methodists, the Lutheran, the Baptists, the Campbellites, and—and all different ones. They’ve had great revivals. The Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, Pentecostals, all had great revivals. But the great exodus hasn’t come. Why? God told Abraham He’d keep him in the land right then, but the—the iniquity of the Amorites wasn’t yet full. And God has waited, patiently. Them people, trying to figure out, they can see the Scripture run right into something. Run right into something, they said, “This is the day. This is the time.” But you fail to understand that the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet fulfilled.

98 Four hundred years they would journey down there in Egypt, and be brought out. But they actually stayed four hundred and forty years, because of the rejection of the prophet. They had to suffer another, about forty years down there in the wilderness, before God brought them out. Moses was out in the wilderness forty years before he ever returned back to deliver them, you see. Forty years went overtime, lapsed, because that they rejected the message.

114 There’s coming an exodus, where God will show who is who; where the Church Itself, the Bride of Jesus Christ, will be exodus-ed out, into the Land that’s promised. “In My Father’s House are many mansions, in this place.” You don’t have to go There and fight like they did. It’s already prepared. If this earthly tabernacle dwelling be dissolved, we have one already waiting, “That where I am, there ye will be also.” The great exodus at hand!

115 Watch how God did that exodus, what He…what preparations He made, and study just a minute, then look at today. All right. Notice, before this exodus, “There raised up a—a pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph.” See? A pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph. “Didn’t know Joseph.” What was Joseph represented? The spiritual part in this spiritual exodus.

119 “There was a pharaoh who raised up, who did not know Joseph.” And that was the beginning of the beginning. That was the beginning of the exodus. And when that thing begin to form, under a—a political power, begin to form, God begin to get ready. The iniquity of the Amorites was fulfilled. The time that He promised Abraham was fulfilled, and the time of deliverance was at hand.

120 And God permitted a pharaoh to raise up, who knew not Joseph, and Rameses was born. And right after Seti come Rameses. And Rameses was that one who knew not the blessings of Joseph. And—and he didn’t know what the spiritual side was. He was only a political genius, that he could take Ethiopia and all the rest of the countries, under military might. And that’s all he knew, was the—the military might.

260 God chose, in the days of the exodus, He called out a group. And out of that group, I want you to notice something, He only got two that went to the promised land. What did He choose to take them out by? Politics? Organization? He chose a prophet, with a supernatural sign of a Pillar of Fire, that the people wouldn’t be mistaken. What the prophet said was the Truth. And God come down, in a Pillar of Fire, and vindicated Himself, showed His Word. That right? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] That’s what He brought, His first exodus. His second exodus…
