Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 SUNDAY_ 65-0221E
55 Notice now His attribute. Then the
attribute was, first, God; the thought, the attribute itself, all in One,
without being expressed. Then when He expressed, secondarily, He became then
the Word. "And then the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."
56 Saint John the 1st chapter and the 1st
verse, notice, this is, "In the beginning." But, before, the Eternal!
Notice, "In the beginning was the Word." When the time begin, it was
Word. But before it was Word, it was attribute, a thought. Then it was expressed,
"In the beginning was," the expression, "the Word."
Now we're getting where
Melchisedec is. That's this mysterious Person. "In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "And then the
Word became flesh and dwelled among us." Hold that there now, notice.
57 His--His first being was Spirit, God, supernatural, all right, the great Eternal. Second, He begin to form Himself towards flesh, in a theophany, it's called "the Word; a body." This then is the state He was in when He met Abraham, was called Melchisedec. He was in the form of theophany. Now we'll get to that and prove it in a few minutes, the Lord willing. He was the Word.
WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 SUNDAY_ 65-0221E
64 Now, God, in this stage of... It's this stage of His creation, later formed into flesh, Jesus. From what? From the great beginning, Spirit, then came down to be the Word, bringing Itself out. The Word doesn't yet make Itself, it's just spoke out, en morphe, later He becomes flesh, Jesus, mortal, to taste death for all of us sinners.

Justification served its time, in justification under Luther, then it had to become sanctification through Wesley. And sanctification served its time, till it become the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And the baptism of the Holy Ghost served its time; until the Holy Spirit (which, there's only one God) blends into the Church, and the Church into Christ, and it makes Jesus Christ reflected on the earth, what He promised here in the Bible. Might not believe it; I can't make you do that. I'm only responsible for the Word. See? That's right.

THE.FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 SUNDAY_ 64-0719M
64 Now, if I come with the message of
Pentecost, I would be in the Laodicean Church Age, and it wouldn't be right.
65 That's the reason that Wesley could not
take Luther's message. Luther was in one age, church age, and Wesley was in
another church age. If Jesus would have come in the... with the message of
Moses, it would not have worked. If Moses would have come with the message of
Noah, it would not have worked.
66 But God has lotted to His--His--His people,
of every age, a Scripture. And before the age can come into existence, into
time, then the churches has got it so mixed up that they--they don't know where
they're at.
THE.FEAST.OF.THE.TRUMPETS_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-16 SUNDAY_ 64-0719M
67 That's the reason they
fail to recognize Jesus being the Son of God. They, their traditions had
blinded their eyes, but He was exactly with the Scripture.
68 The prophets was the same. Jesus said, "Which of you, of your fathers, didn't stone those prophets that were sent to you?" Then God sends His prophet, to... and the prophet is the living Word of God, made manifest.

274 In Revelations 11, call, their ministry
will be the ministry of Moses and Elias calling to Israel, out of the Jewish
traditions; just as the seventh angel's Message called the Bride out of the
Pentecostal tradition. Remember, Moses and Elijah is to call Israel out of the
old atonement of the lamb, and sheep, and blood, and goats, and sacrifice, to
the real living Sacrifice, to the Word.
CHRIST IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED JEFFERSONVILLE IN 63-0728 239 V-3 N-7
224 But when Christ takes you over, He'll express that Word right through you, because it's Him. He is the Word! See? And then you can see the expression of Christ. Not some illusion of some sort, but a real genuine Christ expressing Himself right through you. How beautiful!
PROVING.HIS.WORD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-6 SUNDAY_ 64-0816
72 How does He make His Word known to the
people? First, God knowing that there would be unbelievers... Now watch the
wisdom of God; knowing there would be unbelievers, and how the majority would
be unbelievers. He, by foreknowledge, predestinated a seed for every age, that
would believe It. Now if you'll notice in there, for, each age goes right on
with His Word, everything right on time, nothing hinders God. He goes right on,
and every click is moving just exactly right. We think, sometimes, it's not
going to work right. But don't you worry, His clock is timed just exactly to
the split instant, and everything's working just exactly right.
THE.GOD.OF.THIS.EVIL.AGE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-9 SUNDAY_ 65-0801M
69 Just as your natural life and traits is
handed down from the natural breeding of your father, so is the Spirit of God,
that was predestinated before the foundation of the world.
And when the entire Word of God,
in complete, was headed up in a human body called Jesus Christ, in there God
made me pay for my sins, in Him there. Then He rose me, raised me up with Him,
in the resurrection. And now we are seated with Him, with power and authority
over every devil. Oh, if you could only believe what God has given! But if
you're not seated there, you don't have it. And if you're seated there, and
don't believe it, and afraid to move, you'll never use it. But if you are
seated there, you will use it, for you're ordained to do what you do.
THE.KINSMAN.REDEEMER_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-8 SUNDAY_ 60-1002
And when a man loves a woman and
marries her because she's just pretty, there'll be an end to that. But when a
man finds a woman that he loves, he don't know why, but he loves her... And she
finds the man that she loves, no matter what he looks like... He loves her. She
loves him. That's an eternal mate in glory. They'll... Death nor nothing else
can ever separate them. Because they are from eternity, and they stepped out
into space of time, and will return back to eternity. Eternity has dropped down
in a body called time, then it goes right back up into eternity again. It
cannot perish.
THE.MASTERPIECE_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 SUNDAY_ 64-0705
48 And then I might say, to this, that, when
He made this man, there was something about him yet that didn't look just
right, because that he--he was by himself. And that's how God had been, by
Himself; He was the Eternal. And the man now, in the image of God, also existed
on the earth by himself. So He must have struck a little blow over on his left
side, and from there He took the piece that struck off of it and made him a
helpmate, a wife, then he wasn't by himself. He was--he was, he had somebody
with him. And that's His great work.
ADOPTION.1_ JEFF.IN AD.1 SUNDAY_ 60-0515E
98 When did God choose us? When did God choose
you that's got the Holy Ghost? When did He choose you? Before the foundation of
the world...
He chose you and sent Jesus that He might be the propitiation of your sins, to call you to reconciliation, to Himself, to love. Oh, wish we had just a few more minutes' time.
99 Let me, before we go any farther, go back,
Genesis 1:26. I'll pick it up Wednesday. When God made man... Before He made
man, He called Himself "El," E-l, El; E-l-h, "Elah,"
"Elohim." The word means, in the Hebrew, "the
self-existence," all by Himself. Nothing existed before Him. He was all
the existence there ever was, self-existent One: "El, Elah, Elohim,"
means the "all-sufficient, all-powerful, Almighty, self-existent
One." Oh.
THE FUTURE HOME OF THE HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM AND THE EARTHLY BRIDE JEFFERSONVILLE 64-0802 216 JEFFERSONVILLE IN V-3 N-5
69 And all of our bodies, that we live in now, was put on the earth when God created it, because you're out of the dust of the earth. It was all laid out here. When God Himself create it, you were in His thinking. And in Him, the Great Eternal, was the thought, which is His attribute.
70 And now sin caused all this to happen. And God, through this age, is gathering up His material.
71 Satan is still here. That's the reason all these things happen. He is still here, and all of his evil forces are still here. Notice, that's why the earth now is so filthy. That's why the scum and ridiculous things that goes on; bloodshed, war, politics, sin, adultery, all kinds of filthiness goes on, is because that Satan is the ruler of this earth and this atmosphere.
72 Both the heavens and earth now is contaminated with devils that can accuse us before God. Jesus is There to intercede for us. See? While the accusers keep pointing a finger, "they did this, they did this, they did this," but the Blood still covers. He came to redeem that Elected that He foresaw. That's why it's so filthy today.
THE FUTURE HOME OF THE HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM AND THE EARTHLY BRIDE JEFFERSONVILLE 64-0802 216 JEFFERSONVILLE IN V-3 N-5
87 Now, the first step is "repentance towards God." And then follows after that, is water baptism, "water baptism," "Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ." See, water baptism follows, showing that repentance was genuine. Or, to "remit" our past sins, that has nothing to do with future sin. It only remits. "Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ." What for? "Remission." Taking away of past sin has nothing to do with the future. Just, your sin has been chopped off, what you did.
88 You can't repent for what Adam done. You never done it; Adam did. You just get forgiveness for what you done. The old nature is still there.
89 Let me take this board just a minute. [Brother Branham draws illustrations on the blackboard--Ed.] Now, here is a human heart. Now, I'm not... I'm a long ways from being an artist. Here is a human heart; and here is a human heart. Now, this one over here has a snake in it, that's sin, here he has his life. This one over here has a dove in it, which is the Holy Spirit, here he has a Life. Well, this one here, he has malice, hatred, envy; that's what's causing it, is this fellow here. Well, this one over here has love, and joy, and long-suffering; and That's what does it, down here.

95 Now notice,
sanctification, the third stage... second stage of it, cleanses the mind; sets
the heart, the mind of the heart, in order of holiness.
96 A man can repent of sins and he is still
thinking of... Well, maybe he's a--a immoral man, every immoral looking woman
he finds, is still there. Maybe he's a drunkard; every time he smells the
drink, it's still there. See?
97 But then when he gets sanctified, that
cleanses that desire out of him. See? It takes the want of it away. He can
still be tempted, but He takes the want of it away. Still, he's not right yet.
98 Then, he is baptized with the Holy Ghost
and Fire. Cleansed, burnt out, cleaned up; and then put into the service of
God.
Sanctification only sets them
aside for service.
THE.FUTURE.HOME.OF.THE.HEAVENLY.BRIDEGROOM.AND.THE.EARTHLY.BRIDE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 SUNDAY_ 64-0802
99 And notice just exactly
how that come, the messages coming. Martin Luther, justification; John Wesley,
sanctification; the pentecostal, the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The messages,
that's where there can't be no more ages of it, see. We're at the end time.
Three stages. Baptism cleanses the heart with the Holy Ghost.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
