MATTHEW 21:9
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

A note from the Editor:
The question of “Who is this?” is a mystery that echoes throughout the Scriptures, in both the Old and New Testaments. Brother Branham identifies the revelation of “Who He is,” the mystery of the Godhead, as one of the many revelations clarified by the messenger of Rev. 10: 1-7. The understanding of this mystery is a vital point in the spiritual life of each believer, as illustrated in the lives of chosen men in the Scriptures. Revelation by hearing, knowing, and understanding the mystery of God, establishes a foundation of Faith.

E-15 "Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven has revealed it." That's the reason He gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom. He had the revelation of who He was. "Upon this rock I'll build My Church; and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it (That's right.)," the spiritual revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ. When God has made Him known to you as a Person, as your Saviour, as your God, as your Redeemer, as your Healer, as your King, that's Who the--how the spiritual revelation comes.

Theologians has had different ideas, but since the opening of the Seven Seals, the mysterious Book that's been mysterious to us... According to Revelation 10:1-7, all the mysteries that's wrote in this Book that's been hid down through the age of the reformers is supposed to be brought out into view by the angel of the last church age. How many knows that's right? That's right! Supposed to be brought. All the mysteries of the mysterious Book is to be revealed to the Laodicea Messenger of that age. Seeing there is much dispute about this Person, and this subject, I think it behooves us to break into it to find out Who this is.

Ordinarily they go back and take the job of their father, but his job was too important. He had to announce the Messiah. So he went into the wilderness, no education. He didn't need the education. He had to have a direct revelation of Who this Messiah was. And he knew Him; he said, "I bare record I saw the Spirit of God like a dove descending upon Him, and a voice from heaven saying `This is My beloved Son.' This is Him."

"Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonas; flesh and blood never revealed this to you; My Father which is in heaven has revealed it. Upon this rock I'll build My church." What? The true revelation of the Word. There's the True Vine again. "Abel, by faith..."
53 You said, "It wasn't a revelation." What is faith? Faith is something that's revealed to you, that is not yet, but you believe it will be. Faith is a revelation of the will of God. So by revelation... And the churches today don't even believe in spiritual revelation. They believe in a dogmatic teaching of some system.

92-4 {156} And he saw One setting upon the throne with this Book in His hand, in His right hand. Think of it. Now, and then in this Book was the title deed to redemption. And it was sealed with Seven Seals. And then a Angel came forth, a strong Angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who was worthy to open the Book, to take the Book; Who was able to open the Seals; Who was able to open this Book?" See? The Angel asked it; John saw it, and he said, "Now, Who's worthy? Let Him..." Oh, my, maybe I'm just feeling this this a way. "But, let Him," said the Angel, "let Him..." Here is the Book of Redemption. Here is the plan of redemption. Here is the only way you'll ever be redeemed, for here is the title deed to redemption of the whole heavens and earth. "Let Him come forward, if He will." Oh, my. "Now speak or forever hold his peace. Let Him come forward and claim this Book. Who's worthy to do it?" And John said there was no man in heaven found worthy; no man on earth found worthy; no man beneath the earth that ever lived and died was found worthy; no man was found worthy.

And then one of the elders said, "Fear not, for the Lion of the tribe of Judah has prevailed, and He's worthy."
John looked then to see a--a lion, and he saw a Lamb. And it must've been a slain Lamb. It was a bloody Lamb. He said it was full of Blood, because it was a Lamb that had been slain. And a slain Lamb is bloody, of course. And it had been slain from the foundation of the world. He came and took the Book. There was nobody else could do it.

God revealed to Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist, Peter, Paul, and John the Apostle a direct revelation of Who He was. We know that Brother Branham was the last Church Age messenger.

23 …as I turned and started along a familiar little pathway by the side of a pasture that crossed over to an L-shape in the woods, and something strange took place. All my experiences, I've never had anything like that. I looked at the top of the hill to my left from where I was standing, and there, coming up out of like the top of the hill, came three rainbows. And they were running some thirty-foot high. First, I looked and seen the Light and I just turned back, because I thought it might be the sun raising. On the second thought, it wasn't towards the sun; it was towards the south. And another thing, it was smooth, cloudy, rain, raining all over. That was August the twenty-fifth, last Friday morning, and you know how it was raining. And it's smooth clouds everywhere.
24 And I looked again, and there it was, growing taller and taller, three rainbows. I took off my hat. I set down my gun. I started walking towards it with my hands up. Something just seemed to tell me, "This is close enough." I was going to set down and take off my boots that I had on, to see if I could walk a little closer. But I got within a few yards of it, and I seen the color of it, misting like a fog moving around. I stood still for a few moments. It was coming right out of the top of the little mountain. And I watched, as the three (one to the right, one to the left, and one in the center) running down into one bowl like... Ever what it was, was alive. It was moving and making Its motions. And I stood there just as it was graying dawn.
25 I turned and looked again, and I screamed out, "O God, what would You have Your servant know?" Just then the Spirit of the Lord came in and said, "Jesus of the New Testament is Jehovah of the Old, He only changed His mask from Spirit to man." That was confirming, of course, my message of Him, letting me know, assured that these thirty-one years hasn't been in vain.

But that struck me stronger than anything that I've ever had yet. Just imagine now, just about the time of the break of day, raining, solid cloudy all over, and see standing in front of me, rising up from, like a cup setting on a hill, setting there, three rainbows, rising higher and higher, until you was so numb all over till you could hardly speak,
then walk close to it and hear Him speak and confirm the very message that you're preaching to be the truth. See?
E-11 Said, "Jesus of the New Testament is Jehovah of the Old. He's just changed His veil." Well, I set studying that; I find out that same word where He changed His countenance in the Greek did mean changing His mask, not exactly His veil but His mask. It come to the place He was transformed. See? That means He changed His way. He was God-Jehovah. And God-Jehovah changed Himself from a Spirit and became a Man. He's the same Jehovah God. Which that was the Father, and this is the Son, being the same Person.

And I drew up close and took off my hat, laid down my rifle. Got up there, and a voice shook the woods, said, "Jesus of the New Testament is Jehovah of the Old. Remain faithful."

Oh, what a beautiful picture of one of those seven stars that represented that, with his life on fire with the Holy Ghost here. And he... By faith he's burning with the Holy Ghost, and his life is a candle--or not a candle, but a wick that's dipped into the Holy Spirit (into Christ), and through that wick he's drawing the Life of God out to give Light to his church. Oh, what a picture of the true believer. What kind of a Light's he giving? The same kind of Light that was when the first candle was lit.

He's Jehovah of the Old Testament made flesh and dwelt among us. And there that sure did comfort me. Then thinking on that subject, that God had sought so many people...
37 Now, there is a group of people call themselves the Oneness or the Jesus Only. I don't agree with them upon their theory. Neither do I agree--agree with that trinitarian group that says that there are three different Gods the extreme of the trinitarian. But I believe that the three, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is One, that they are three offices of one God. He lived in the Fatherhood in the Pillar of Fire; He lived in the Sonship in Jesus Christ; and He lives now in the Holy Ghost in His church. The same Lord Jesus that was made flesh and dwelled among us, is with us this day, among us in the form of the Holy Spirit.

The golden candlestick is first met with in the descriptions of the tabernacle.
(Ex. 25:31-39; 37:17-24)
It was made of one piece pure beaten gold, an upright central stem, with three arch or “rainbow” branches intersecting the stem upward. The branches were adorned with almond blossoms, as the almond tree was the first to bud in the spring—typifying Jesus is the firstfruits of them that slept, the firstborn among many brethren…
(Rom. 8:29; 1 Cor. 15:20).
Lev. 24:2-3, it was to burn "from the evening unto the morning before the Lord continually." The position of the candlestick was on the south side of the Holy place, (Ex. 40:24) and it illuminated the table of shewbread.

editor’s note:
The spiritual revelation of “who God is, who Jesus is;” is the foundation of our faith. In fact it is impossible for a worshipper to have faith in God, whom they do not know. Brother Branham tied the illumination of this mystery directly to his Message, that of Revelation 10:1-7, Malachi 4:5-6, Luke 17:30. His message was to bring a Bride to spiritual maturity, (by revelation of the Word) for the express purpose of making herself ready for the Marriage of the Lamb. This maturity was to be accomplished by the revelation of the Seven Seals, with a full comprehension of “the revelation of the mystery of Hisself,”…“at the finishing of Seventh Seal.”
The Revealed Word clarifies the many issues or “mysteries” that man has struggled with down through the ages. Each “loose end,” or piece of the puzzle, “gathered up” and correctly placed by the prophet, reveals “the complete mystery” of God.
The same One who made the covenant with Abraham, (to redeem his seed) came in Person, and fulfilled the Promise by the Sacrifice of His own Life, redeeming us by His own shed Blood. Then in this end-time, Christ, the “son of man,” the Word, came again in Person and loosed the seals, revealed Himself, finished “the mystery of God,” and completely fulfilled Rev. 10:7.
Brother Branham taught the “Evening Light” Message would illuminate “all the mysteries of God.” In the end-time, it was prophesied there would be “gross darkness” upon the people. Without Light we can not see. Without Light a Seed can not come to Life. For the true believers, a Lamp has been provided to dispel all shadows.
“Christ is the Mystery of God revealed,” is the Bride’s Food. It is the children’s Bread, the hidden Manna, illuminated by the “Evening Light.” Perfectly typed in the Old Testament as the Light of the Lampstand illuminating the Shewbread in the Temple.
JOHN 6:51
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever…

35 And the Holy Spirit always speaks of the Word. "I've got many things to tell you, you cannot understand it now, but when He comes, He'll guide you to It." That's the reason the coming of the Seals. At the finishing of the Seventh Seal, the mystery of God should be finished, to know Who God is, what He is, how He lives, His nature, His Being. You're supposed to be all the way up here by that time (See?), bring us into the full stature of sons and daughters of God, a Church that's washed in the Blood of Christ…

Jesus said in St. Matthew the 16th chapter, "Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven has revealed this to you." What was it? A revelation of who He was. "And upon this rock, I'll build My church and the gates of hell can't prevail against It." See? The revelation of Jesus Christ in this hour, not what He was in another hour, what He was now... The Bible expresses it's growing in the Bride to the full statue…

74 The Book of the Revelation is the last Book of the Bible. It's sealed to unbelievers. In there the Bible says in the 22nd chapter, "Whosoever shall take one word from It or add one word to It, I'll take his part from the Book of Life." We realize that then It was altogether given for believers.
And it opens the Book of Revelation and reveals who the Author of this entire Book is (He's to look upon as Alpha and Omega, from Genesis to Revelation, Jesus Christ just the same right straight through), and reveals His complete mystery of Himself and His plans for His church ages that's to come, and was sealed in there by Seven Seals.
75 Now, the Book was written, but then remember, It was sealed with Seven Seals. And these Seven Seals was not to be opened, Revelation 10, until the sounding of the last earthly angel on earth, Revelation 10:7. See? "And in the days of the sounding of the last angel's Message, seventh angel, the mystery of God should be finished in that age." That... And that's the age that we're living in.

Truly, Jesus said, "No man can come to Me, except My Father draws him." No man will never see it. It's that predestinated Seed, and that only, is going to receive It. But we've come to that place again. The Bible said that, "You're the light of the world." The prophet said, "Gross darkness upon the people," upon the people of the world at this time.

The Shewbread Seed, the Word that we're to live on in this day by these promises, the Shekinah Glory ripens that Shewbread, brings it to pass, makes it Bread to the believers, that laid in the pages of the Bible year after year, the Word for this age. To the denominations, It's a stumbling block. To the denominations, they stumble at It. Down through the years, Luther, Wesley, Martin Luther, and all, Sankey, Finney, John Smith, Knox, all stumbled at It.
335 But what's it to be done in the last days? What is to reveal? "Bring forth." What's Malachi 4 to do? To turn back the people from that stumbling block, to break down the traditions, and to reveal the Bread with the Shekinah Glory.

No, they were revealed in the seven Seals; that's what the thunders was about. They was to reveal... The seven thunders that had uttered their voices and no one could make out what it was...

If you have, you'll notice there where it said, the angel, it's in parenthesis, it says, the eagle (See?), the messenger to the--the Laodicea church (see?), Revelations 10:1 to 7.

He put one foot on land and one on the sea and swore by Him that lives and ever and ever, that time shall be no more. And when He did, Seven Thunders uttered their voices. And when the Seven Thunders uttered their voices, John said he was about to write; and He said, "Don't write it." See? And he sealed it.
20-2 Now, someone said, "Well that's Seven Seals then, Brother Branham, that will be revealed in the last days, some great mystery how we get closer to God..." No, sir, it can't be. "Whosoever shall take one word from this Bible or add one word to It, his part will be taken... the Book of Life." What it is, is a revelation on what has been missed back there, to bring to... It's already wrote here; it's in here; it's to reveal what already's been written (see?), 'cause you can't add one thing to It, or take one word from It.
20-3 The first chapter of--of the Bible--in the beginning, Genesis, one woman didn't mis-believe It, but she just misinterpret--let Satan misinterpret to her one word, "Surely..." See? And then from that caused all this trouble. And that was God speaking, God's Word. And in the last chapter of Revelations Jesus, Himself, the same God said, "Whosoever shall take one word out or add one word to It..." This is the complete revelation of Jesus Christ, and the Seven Seals had the mysteries hid of what it all was, and is supposed to open it in the last day, at the Laodicean age, at the end of time. Thanks be to God, that finishes the Message to the Church. That finishes it, when they look back and see what has been, and see where it's all brought up to, that finishes it, the age of the church.

editor’s note:
The Light symbolized by the Seven Golden Candlesticks represents God’s Word, Himself, the Life for the people, down through the ages. For 7 Jewish Old Testament Ages It’s abode was in the Temple. When the Messiah came, the Shekinah Glory left the man-made Temple and resided in the Temple of the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. When the Messiah was rejected, and crucified, the Candlestick was removed and given to the Gentiles for 7 New Testament Church Ages. The same God, represented by the same symbol of Light, (the Lampstand) has fully revealed Himself in these last days by the Message of the 7th Star in His hand. He has been identified repetitively by the “Light” that accompanied the prophet and was even photographed numerous times.
“Jehovah of the Old Testament, is Jesus Christ of the New:” the Revelation of the Supreme Deity of Jesus Christ.

71 My friends, I don't want to hurt feelings, but I'm responsible for a Message, and that Message is "Come out of this mess!" And if I asked you to come out, where am I going to take you to? Would I take you to the Branham Tabernacle? It's as much fault as any of the rest of them. But there's one place I can take you to, where you're safe and protected from death, that's in Jesus Christ, God's place of worship. That's the place I'm introducing to you tonight, where God put His Name, where He promised He'd meet every person that come in there; He'd worship with him and feast with him; that's in Christ. Not in no church, no tabernacle, but in Christ, He is God's Tabernacle. He is the place that God came Him into Himself and dwelt in Him: "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am pleased to dwell in." There's where God tabernacled, brought His Name and placed It upon, Jesus Christ. Therefore, His Name was put in a Man, His Son, Jesus Christ, in which He tabernacled Himself. And in that Tabernacle, where in a type, the old Jerusalem, the old feasts, the old temple was a type, when the smoke come in, the day that the ark went in, of the Covenant, and settled down, and the Voice of God was heard from it. So did the Voice of God be heard coming into the Tabernacle Jesus Christ, which the old natural was a type and a shadow of the new. And when He come into Christ, He said, "This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I'm pleased to dwell in. And I'll choose the place where I'll put My Name, and where I will meet man, and where I will worship at." God chose the place.

E-74 Many of you people listening to this would say, "Brother Branham is a Oneness." I am not. I think you're both wrong, both oneness and trinity. Not to be different, but it's always the middle of the road.
Like Isaiah said, Isaiah 35 said, "There shall be a highway." And you Nazarene brothers, and so forth, you say."The grand old highway of holiness." I beg your pardon. it doesn't say the highway of holiness. It says, "There shall be a highway and ("and" is a conjunction) and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness." Not the highway of holiness. The way is in the middle of the read. Each side is where the off-falls is found. That's where you Oneness brethren went to on one side, Trinitarian went on the other side, but the true message lays in the center of the road.
E-75 Now, watch here. If you'll understand now, I'm laying three things out. Now, I'm taking this to be what Matthew said, and to show you that both men said the same thing.

I hate to say this, and don't want to say it, but I don't want to say "through ignorance, " as the Bible said, but I mean that through misinterpretation... you can't make if run right, brethren. You'll never make it run right. It can't till you come back to the revelation, and then the whole Scripture runs right.
E-76 Now, look here, my sisters, and you brethren who are present: Matthew said, "Father, Son, Holy Ghost." Now, if you 'all go get the Emphatic Diaglott of the Greek interpretation (original Greek interpretation from the Vatican. It happens to be that I have one; it's out of print now, I think), or any Greek translation, the right translation to Acts 2:38... Peter said, "Repent every one of you and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ." The King James version just said, "in the name of Jesus Christ."; but in the Emphatic Diaglott it says, "In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
Now, when you Oneness brethren just baptize in the name of Jesus, there's just many Jesuses; but there's only... He was born Christ, the Son of God. That's His name, that's what He is. "Christ" means "the anointed one." Messiah, Christ. Now, "Jesus, " eight days later He was given the name Jesus, when He was circumcised. And He is our Lord. So He is our Lord Jesus Christ. That's what He is.
Now, so that you'll see that Peter had the revelation I'm trying to tell you, now look at these, these boxes on this side--Father, Son, Holy Ghost. That's what Matthew said. Ten days later Peter said, "Lord Jesus Christ." Now, see if these three titles isn't three names, or the one name of the three titles.
E-77 Now, look. Matthew said, "Father." Is that right? But Peter said, "Lord." Now, David said, "The Lord said unto My Lord." Now, they both said the same thing there, didn't they?... "Lord thy God is one God" is true. All right. Now, Peter said, "In the name of the Lord" and Matthew said a title to that Lord, which was "Father." Lord's what He is. All right. Matthew said, "Son." Who is the Son? "Jesus, " said Peter. Is that right ? All right. Now, and Matthew said, "Holy Ghost." Peter said, "Christ, " which is the Holy Ghost, the Logos that went out of God. See, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, is the Lord Jesus Christ. The whole thing, exactly--the Lord Jesus Christ.

ACTS 2:29-36
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
HEBREWS.CHAPTER.2.PART.2 JEFF.IN HEB 57-0825E
67-198 Acts the 2nd chapter, beginning at the 32nd verse: This Jesus has God raised up, whereof we... are witnesses. (They knew it.) Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He has shed forth this, which you now see and hear. Now, listen at him speak about David, one of the angels: For David is not ascended into... heaven: but he said himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Set thou on my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool... David couldn't go up; He was under the shed blood of heifers, and goats, and sheep. But now he can raise; He's under the Blood of the Lord Jesus. For they only answer to that Blood when It would come in force. When the Blood of Christ come in force, all those who had died in good favor, rose (That's right.), and ascended into glory. Now, listen: Therefore let all the house of Israel know... (Listen to this)... that God has made this same Jesus, whom you... crucified, both Lord and Christ. (What about that? Is He a third person of the trinity, or is He the entire trinity? He is the entire fullness of the Godhead, bodily.) There's no such a thing as three Gods: God the Father; God the Son; and God the Holy Ghost. That's not even in the Scriptures nowhere, nowhere is it.

211 "And if the Oneness, you disagree with the Oneness because of their one standing like that." Yes, sir. Jesus had a Father; He was God. They baptize in the Name of Jesus. I baptize in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. There's many Jesuses, but there's only one Lord Jesus Christ. See? Not in "Jesus name"; but in the Name of "The Lord Jesus Christ"; that's Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Lord, "Lord said unto My Lord, Set on the right hand"; Son, Jesus; Christ, Logos that went out of God in the beginning. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. There you are. Oh, I'm so happy for it. My heart just rejoices and to know that His Spirit, the Spirit that wrote the Word, agrees with the Word, proves the Lifeline, and comes in, manifests Itself.
WHY.AGAINST.ORGANIZED.RELIGION JEFF.IN V-12 N-1 62-1111E
141 Jesus said, "If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not." Oh, certainly! He said, "No man has ascended up to Heaven but He that come down from Heaven." Watch Him fix Nicodemus here, when Nicodemus... You know, they thought, Him being a Man, He couldn't be God. And He said, and--and there He said, "No man has ascended up to Heaven but He that came down from Heaven, even the Son of man which is now in Heaven."
That was too much for him. How could He the Son of man come down from Heaven, come down from Heaven, was the same that ascended up to Heaven, and the same One that's standing here on top of this house talking to Nicodemus, is now in heaven? Well, he ought to have seen that it was God. He's omnipresent, everywhere! See? But he in his traditions didn't know that. He wasn't spiritual-minded. The carnal mind, and couldn't catch it... He says, "Who does man say I the Son of man am?"
"Some says, well, `He's the Son of David.'"
He said, "Then why did David in the Spirit, call Him `Lord,' say, `The Lord said unto my Lord, "Sit Thou on My right hand till I make Thy foes a footstool"'?" How that He is both Root and Offspring of David; He was before David, He was David, and after David. See? "He is the Root and Offspring of David," the Bible said so, both Root and Offspring of David. How could He be His Son then? How could He be His Lord? * The Bible said, "From henceforth they asked Him nothing." I guess it was a good thing too.
MATTHEW 22:41-46 (see PSALMS 110:1)
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, (Saying,)
42 What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies
thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. ______________
editor’s note: * This same question has been rephrased today concerning the opening of the Seven Seals. For example, it has been asked, “How can the body of the Lord Jesus still be seated on the mercy seat and yet the Seals were opened on Sunset Mt.?” The revelation of His omnipresence answers this.
After the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus, we understand He is present at the right hand of the majesty. With this in mind, Who was it that appeared to Saul on the road to Damascus? In this End-time, Who was it that was manifested through the ministry of a prophet? It was Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever, revealing Himself through redeemed flesh, identified by a Pillar of Fire, fulfilling the promise of Luke 17:30, while His corporal body remains at the right hand of God.
Remember, only the Lamb was worthy to take the Book and loose the Seals, yet the identification given that day in the sky over Arizona was that of the Supreme Authority, the White wigged One. It was a verification that they are One and the Same Person.
PARADOX JEFF.IN V-15 N-8 61-1210
146 How that Heaven can't hold Him! Earth is His footstool, Heavens is His throne, and yet could bring the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and embody It into a Man. Oh! When, you can measure for hundreds of billions of miles into aeons of time, and never measure God; and yet a little baby, laying in a manger, contained the fullness of His Godhead bodily. Jehovah! A paradox! That great God, Who sits back yonder, to control a hundred million suns shining on planets, Who never begin and never ended, and would embody Himself, in a manured stable!

E-20 But He's never left us. He's here in the Spirit called the Holy Spirit. Now, when He led the children of Israel, He was in a form of a Light (All of you know that.), a Pillar of Fire. When He come on earth He was a man, come down into flesh to take away sin. He said, "I come from God, and I go to God." He went to God.
After His resurrection, there was a man who saw Him. After His resurrection, after He'd ascended on high, and His body had been taken back to God, and was setting on the throne, there was a man saw Him. And I believe that's Acts about the 8th chapter, 9th, somewhere along there. And that man's name was Paul. And he was on his road down to Damascus, and a Light (That right?) struck him down, right in the middle of the day, and he said, "Who art Thou that I persecute?"
He said, "It's Jesus." He was in Spirit form.
And that's the form He will be until He returns in His corporal body. He will be in Spirit form, a Light. God is Light. He was in the beginning. He's still the Light. He was made flesh, went back to Light, and will be Light till He comes in the flesh. And when He comes again the second time in the flesh, then our bodies will be transformed, and made like unto His, and we'll be with Him forever.

E-11 But one day on the road down to Damascus a light, Pillar of Fire, came down from heaven. And Paul, being a Jew, was acquainted that this light, Pillar of Fire, had been the thing that had... the God that had led his people out of Egypt. They had followed this Pillar of Fire. So being a Jew he said to Him quickly, "Lord, who art Thou?" He knew Him as Lord, but "Who art Thou?"
And the voice came back from the Pillar of Fire, "I am Jesus, and it's hard for you to kick against the pricks." From that time on, Paul knew that the Jehovah of the Old Testament was Jesus of the New. And he had something that he could hold to, and that's how he could write that great book of Hebrews.

118 The same One that met Saul on the road down to Damascus. A great Light hung before Him, that same Light, same Pillar of Fire. Saul, being a Hebrew, would never worship any spirit or anything, or call it "Lord," in the position he was in. He said, "Lord, who are You?"
He said, "I'm Jesus." (Jesus said, "I come from God, and I go to God.") That same Light has come. To what? To manifest, to--to make known to the people the promises that He's made for this day, manifested Light of the day.

editor’s note:
God hides Himself in simplicity. Man’s carnal reasoning makes the mystery of God convoluted and complicated. Carnal reasoning impairs spiritual sight, leading to a tendency of seeing multiples instead of seeing clearly One individual God, manifested in a various forms. Instead of seeing the self-same Being condescending down to man from the Old Testament to the New, some see any number of “Lords.” Brother Branham shows a scriptural example of this with Abraham and Lot, and the visit of three Angels in their time. Abraham by revelation called three of them “Lord,” and Lot with no revelation called two of them “lords.”
On Mt. Transfiguration, Peter, seeing the Glory of God manifested upon Jesus, Moses, and Elijah, wanted to establish multiple forms of worship, by desiring to build three tabernacles of worship. God immediately spoke from heaven and declared there was only One to listen to, and “hear ye Him.” (see HEAR YE HIM, E-42, p.62)
Even now, there are many who contend there are multiple messengers in this end-time. (in addition to Brother Branham) There are beliefs of multiple sets of mysteries, such as additional seals, and additional thunders yet to come. There are those who see multiple ministries coming to conclude or fulfill portions of Brother Branham’s ministry.
Only those who are predestinated and elected, will see God in simplicity, One Lord, continuing to manifest Himself through one prophet’s message, one ‘son of man’ ministry, one revelation of the Seven Seals, and one fulfillment of Rev 10:1-7.

E-61 Abraham knew now; he was Abraham's seed. Now, remember. Listen. It was just Abraham recognized that. Did you know... I talked to a Jew the other day that believed, always believed there's one God, and he wanted to believe there was three of them. So he said, "You know that meant Father, Son, and Holy Ghost there?"
Oh, mercy, how far can a man get away from God? Abraham never said, "My lords." He said, "My Lord," capital L-o-r-d.
But Lot, the backslider down there said, "My lords," when he saw two of Them come up: l-o-r-d-s.

Elohim is the fulness of the Godhead, bodily. And we notice there when Lot saw... When Abraham saw Him coming, he said, "my Lord." There was three of them. And down in Sodom, Lot saw two, and said, "my lords," lack of revelation. So notice what taken place here, when He come up, how He made Hisself known.

E-59 Abraham then went out, set one hot morning in the tent door, about up around noontime, and he looked and he saw three Men coming. And Abraham knew that there was something strange about them, so... run out... Somebody said the other day, a converted Jew, said that them three men was Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Nonsense. He didn't say, "My Lords." as a heathen, he said, "My Lord." Lot was the one called the two Angels, "Lords." The backslider down there, shows exactly where that same class lives today, make God four or five different people. God's one God. Right.
"My Lord," said Abraham.
Lot said, "My lords." for two of them, but there's three of them there.
And Abraham recognized that there's one God in them. "My Lord." Look at it. And remember, it wasn't little "lord," here, it was Elohim, "My Lord." Elohim, Jehovah, walked up to the tent. Oh, listen to this. Everybody was trembling. And the first thing you know, first thing you know they set there and started a conversation.

132 Let's just look and see what the super sign was. There was a Man came up, three of them. And did you notice, when--when Abraham saw three man coming, he went out and he said, "My Lord, will You pass by me? Come in and sit down. Let me fetch a little water and wash Your feet. And take a morsel of bread, then go about Your business." He saw three coming, and called the three, One, "Lord." Lot, the church nominal, down--down there in Sodom, he saw two coming, and he said, "My lords." Abraham knowed these three are one. There was actually only One, of them. Watch, two of them went down in Sodom, and the One stayed with him. He said, "My Lord." Notice the One that stayed with him; Abraham, being a type of the called-out, not in Sodom, the elected for that hour.

E-6 And God represented Himself once in the Fullness beforehand in the book of Genesis, in the order of Melchisedec, Who had no father, no mother, no beginning of days, or ending of years, or ending of life. And He was a priest, the King of Salem, a priest of God, of the most high God, Who was without beginning or without ending. He was none other than the prefigure of the Lord Jesus Christ, 'cause He was the King of Salem which is the King of Peace which is the King of Jerusalem. And He was in prefigure, even the patriarch Abraham paid tithes to Him. He was a prefigure of the coming of the Lord Jesus.

341-306 And this Melchisedec was not Jesus, for He was God. And what made Jesus and God different, that... Jesus was the Tabernacle that God dwelt in. See? Now, Melchisedec... Jesus had both father and mother, and this Man never had father or mother. Jesus had a beginning of life and He had an end of life. This Man had no father, no mother, no beginning of days, or ending of life. But It was the self same Person; it was Melchisedec and Jesus was One; but Jesus was the earthly body, borned and fashioned after sin. God's own body, His own son, borned and fashioned after sin to take the sting out of death, to pay the ransom, and to receive sons and daughters unto Himself. You get it? That's the reason that He had--He had a beginning; He had an ending.
342-307 But this perfect body, in commemoration as a--as the earnest of our resurrection, God would not suffer that holy body to see corruption, because He created it Himself, and brought it forth, and resurrected it, and set it at His right hand.
WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 65-0221E
95 Now, the true revelation of Melchisedec comes into view was--that He was God, the Word, before He became flesh, God the Word. 'Cause He had to be; no one else could be immortal like Him. See, I had father and mother; you did too. Jesus had father and mother. But this Man had no father or had no mother. Jesus had a time He started; this Man didn't. Jesus gave His life; this Man couldn't, because He was Life. And it's the self same Man all the time. I hope God reveals it to you. The self same Person all the time.
Notice His title, King of righteousness. Now, Hebrews 7:2: King of righteousness and King of peace. He's two Kings. Now, watch! Hebrews 7:2, King of righteousness, also the King of peace. He's two Kings there. Now, since He has come in the flesh and received His body up, in Revelation 21:16 He's called the King of Kings. He's all three of them together.

236 Now, remember, that was not Jesus talking to Abraham there, that could discern the thoughts in Sarah's mind behind him. That was not Jesus, He had not yet been born. But it was a man in human flesh, that Abraham called "Elohim, the great Almighty." Showing... And Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom," now watch close, "in the days of Sodom, so will it be at the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man is being revealed." Not no more as a church, see, not no more; the Bride is called. See? "In that day the Son of man will be revealed." What? To join the Church to the Head, unite, the marriage of the Bride. The Bridegroom call will come right through this, when the Son of man will come down and come in human flesh to unite the two together. The Church has to be the Word, He is the Word, and the two unites together, and, to do that, it'll take the manifestation of the revealing of the Son of man. Not a clergyman. I--I don't know, I... Do you see what I mean? See, it's Son of man, Jesus Christ, will come down in human flesh among us, and will make His Word so real that it'll unite the Church and Him as one, the Bride, and then she will go Home to the Wedding Supper.

The Son of man made flesh, there He was standing there in flesh at that time, like a theophany, standing there discerning what Sarah was saying in the tent behind Him. He promised. Watch. The Royal Seed of Abraham is promised to see that same thing.

153 What is light sent for? So you can see where you're--how to get around (That right?), see where you're at. It shall be Light about the evening time.
Now, we take that now and compare it over with Malachi 4. He promised that there would be Light come again in the evening time. See? "For behold, I will send to you Elijah the prophet, and he will restore the--the children back to the fathers, and the fathers to the children (Is that right?), lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
Now, let's take John--or St. Luke 17:30 and watch what Jesus prophesied there, saying that, "As it was in the days of Sodom, it'll be the same..." Now, remember. Notice. This is at the time that the Son of man would be revealed,
the revealing of the Son of man. Now, the Son of man was actually revealed potentially just for a few moments there, just before Sodom was burned. Now, that Man was Elohim. That was God, and Jesus is God. And God was revealed potentially right there for a few moments to talk to Abraham in the investigation judgment, just for a little bit. The Son of man was revealed, the Son of man, Elohim. Do you see it, church? The Son of man, Elohim, was revealed just for a few minutes, for the very next morning it was burned. When? Before the sun could come up again. So there can't be no organization left; neither can there be any further advancement than what's going right now; for she'll burn before the day breaks again.
The revival's over across the nation. There ain't going to be no more revivals, big sweeping revivals. This nation will never receive it.

11-1 Now, in the beginning was the Word. A word is a thought expressed. In the beginning He wasn't even God. Now, our English word today, "god," means "an object of worship." How confusing it is to the mind. You can make somebody a god. You can make anything a god. But in the Old Testament in Genesis 1, "In the beginning God..." the word is used, "Elohim." "Elohim" means "the self-existing One." What a difference the word "Elohim" is to our word "god." "Elohim" means "a self-existing One." We cannot be self-existing. We cannot be almighty, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient. That Elohim expresses all of that. We cannot be that.

101 There came a Man to Abraham--three of them--and set down under an oak tree, three of them. And notice, after He talked to Abraham... Why did He come? Abraham, being the one with the promise and the message of the coming son, and also He was God's Word prophet that was trusting God's Word, calling anything contrary as though it wasn't... See how perfect the Word is? The Word came to the prophet. See, there was God in a theophany, and the Bible said the Word comes to the prophet. And here was the--the Word in the theophany...
Now, you say, "Was that God?" Abraham said it was. He said His name was... He called Him Elohim. Now, in Genesis 1 you find out, "In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth." In Genesis 18 we find out that--that Abraham called this Person that set there and talked to him, and could tell him the secrets of his heart, tell him what Sarah was thinking behind Him, Abraham said, "It is Elohim." He was in a theophany form. You get it?

The mysteries, even of the Baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and away from the Oneness idea, and these other things, how the Holy Spirit has moved that in, and showed it perfectly; and the true Baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Token, and everything, and placed it; and how He placed every reformer, and everything just exactly, and (see?) right before our own eyes. And it's not in a corner; it's world known. Jesus, the Son of God, revealing Himself by the Scriptures, making that Scripture, that has been predestinated to this day (like it was to that day, and all other days), live. And to believe It is the evidence of the Holy Spirit--righteousness!

He told about Moses, about... and I beg your pardon, not about Moses, but about Noah. How that the people was "eating, drinking, and so forth, marrying and given in marriage." Then He come around, He said, "Now, as it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be at the time when the Son of man is being revealed." Now, watch, the Son of man was revealed to Abraham's group, as a man, a prophet in a form of human flesh, a ordinary man with dust on his clothes, and Abraham called Him "Elohim".
113 Now, Jesus promises here that in the last days the Son of man will be revealed again to that same type of group, the royal Seed of Abraham, just before the fire falls.

How could it believe--bring in Luke 17:30? How could it bring in all these other Scriptures that's promised in this last days? It couldn't do it, because it denies It. "As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."
…Look at the elected Abraham's church pulled out. Look what kind of sign that Jesus Himself, the incarnated God, standing there in human flesh...
41-4 You say, "That was an Angel." The Bible said it was God: Lord, God, Elohim, standing there in human flesh, showing that He would so anoint His church in the last days, it'd be God working in human flesh again. "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." Same kind of thing. You can see it right there in the Scriptures. "Read the--search the Scriptures for in them you think you have Eternal Life and They are They that testify of this."

With His back turned, He said Sarah was going to have the baby that he'd waited on. Amen. With His back turned... And he called It God, Elohim.
Now, that brings to pass today, because we have faith. And I know this is of God, is because this and other Scriptures point to this hour. Revelations 10 said that in the hour of the seventh angel's message, when he begins to sound forth his message, not in a healing service, but the message that follows the healing service...

68 And Jesus, in Saint Luke 17, said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be when--at the returning, when the Son of man will be made manifest." Not Son of God now; Son of man be made manifest, when He is being revealed, made known to His church, Son of man will be revealed just before the promised Son.
Abraham had seen God in many different forms, in a Light, and in visions; but here was God in a Man, just before the waited and promised son appeared.
Jesus said, "Before the promised Son returns again, Elohim would make Himself, His Word manifested in flesh, God."
SPIRITUAL.FOOD.IN.DUE.SEASON JEFF.IN V-8 N-7 65-0718E
160 But now, God has promised us these things in the last days. In Malachi 4, said that Jesus Christ would come down and impersonate Himself in human flesh like He did at Sodom. That's right. And said the world would be in a Sodom condition. And it said, "As it was then, the Son of man will be revealed that day."
See, this Man that come down in the form of a man, which was "Elohim," by Abraham, before this promised son came. Look what it was. Abraham said it was God. And the Bible said there was three men came to him, dust on Their clothes, traveled, set down and eat like men. And Jesus said, "Just at the time the world gets in a Sodom condition, then the Son of man would reveal Himself again, not Son of God, Son of man (See?), would reveal Himself."
Now, mark that with what the last prophet said, "Behold I send to you Elijah the prophet, and he will restore the--the hearts of the children back to the fathers," (See?) a Message to bring them back to the Bible. And the Son of man will be revealing Himself in that day. And at that day of the sounding of the last church age, the seventh angel, the mysteries of God should be made known in that day. The Seven Seals would be broken; the mysteries of all these churches and things, how they happened and what take--how, what taken place.

149 Jesus promised, in Luke 17:30, that just before His Coming, there would be like the time of Noah, Moses... or Noah, "When they were eating and drinking, and given in marriage; and knew not till the day that Noah entered into the ark." He said there would be that time. Then He said also, "As it was in the days of Lot," and said, "this will take place in that day when the Son of man shall be revealed, when the Son of man is revealed in the last days."
151 Now, look what He, how the Son of man revealed Himself in the person of this Angel, which was the Son of man. Absolutely. Abraham called Him, "Elohim." He was the Son of man, revealed Himself just before the Gentile world was burned. How did He do it? To the believer.
UNVEILING.OF.GOD JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 64-0614M
49 Notice, Jehovah of the Old Testament is Jesus of the New Testament. See? He's the same God, just changing His form.
Now, someone said the other day, a--a--a Baptist minister out in Tucson, "How can you say that--that Jesus and God would be the same Person?"
I said, "Well, it--it's very easy if you just let your own thinking get away and think the Bible terms of it. They are the self same Being. God is a Spirit; Jesus is the body that He was veiled in." See? I said, "Like in my home, to my wife I am her husband. And I have a young daughter, Rebekah; I am her father. And I have a grandson, and his name is Paul; I am his grandfather. I am husband, father, and grandfather. And my wife has no claims on me as father or grandfather, she has claims on me alone as husband. And my daughter has no claims on me as husband or grandfather; she is my child. (See?) But yet all these three persons is the same person. (See?) That's God: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is just the dispensation claim. God is same, the same God. God changed Himself, changes His--His form."
52 If you notice here in Philippians he said, "Not thinking it robbery, but took the form of man..."
Now, the Greek word there for that form, I've been looking at it all day yesterday, trying to think out what it was, I find, come with this word of "en morphe." It's spelled e-n m-o-r-p-h-e. Looking in the Greek to find out what "en morphe" was... I may pronounce that wrong, but I... Reason I spell it, when if the tape is released, the people will, scholars will know what I--I mean by it. He... When the "en morphe"... That means that "He changed Hisself." He--He come down. Now, the Greek word there means that "something that could not be seen, yet it's there, and then it's changed, and the eye can catch it." See?
UNVEILING.OF.GOD JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 64-0614M
68 Notice. Now, He came first as the Prophet, and they crucified Him. His own crucified Him. He came as the Son of man. Then after the Holy Spirit came, He was then the Son of God. God is a Spirit. He was the Holy Spirit: Son of God. He lived through the church ages as Son of God.
Now, in the millennium He'll be Son of David setting upon the throne of His father David. He is the Son of David now.
And remember, between the Son of God... In the Laodicea church age they put Him out. And in Luke He said that He would be revealed again as Son of man, the prophet, fulfilling the rest of it. See? The Scriptures tie perfectly together. Son of man, Son of God, Son of David, what was it? It's the same God all the time, just changing His form, en morphe. He just changed it. It's a great drama to Him; He's acting it out.
72 He came as Son of man, the Prophet, done exactly... Even that little woman in all of her sin there at the well, she recognized Him. She said, "We know the Messiah's coming, which is called the Christ, that's what He'll do." See, she recognized because she was a predestinated seed. Then she... Where the rest of them didn't recognize It, they had nothing to recognize with. They were in sin to begin with.
73 For--for His acts He changes His form. Then He came the form of Son of man. For the reformers' age, Wesley, Luther, and all down through the... Then we find out that they got it so bundled up, just like the Israelites did, till when He does appear in the last days in the Pentecostal age as the Holy Spirit, they rejected It. They did the same thing Israel did. And what does He do now? Return as Son of man. And then from that, Son of David. See how close we are? Son of man, Son of David, Son of God. He's revealed in the last days as Son of man according to Malachi 4, all the rest of the prophecies pertaining to this hour. No more dealing with the church after He... They put Him out; on the outside, knocking at the door. Some predestinated seed in there yet, He must get to them.
74 God, in man, has emptied Himself. Joel 2:28, we find out He said, "I will pour out in the last days My Spirit." Now, if you notice the word there, Greek word... I may have this wrong, but the one I could find... You have to watch the words.
The English sometime means double meanings. Just like the word, we say, "god." God created the heavens and earth, Genesis 1. But now, in the Bible It said, "In the beginning Elohim." Now, Elohim, the English calls "god," but it really wasn't Elohim. Anything could be god to--the word "god"; you could make an idol a god; you could make that piano a god; you could make anything a god.
But it isn't so in the word "Elohim"; It means "the self-existing One." See? That piano cannot be self-existent; nothing else can be self-existent. So the Word "Elohim" means "He that always existed." "God" can mean anything. See the difference in the word?
77 Now, when It said here that He emptied Himself or poured out, now, we'd think like this, that He "vomit up," the English word of "emptied or poured out from Him (See?), something went out of Him that was different from Him." But the word "Kenos," in the Greek, does not mean that He "vomit up," or some--His arm went off, or His eye went out another person. That is, He changed Himself; He "poured Himself into," (Amen!), into another mask, into another form; not another person went out of Him called the Holy Spirit, but It was He Himself. You get it? He Himself poured Himself into the people: Christ in you. How beautiful, how wonderful to think, God pouring Himself into the human being, into the believer: pour out. It was a part of His drama to do so. God, all the Fullness, all the Godhead bodily was in this Person Jesus Christ. He was God and God alone, not a third person, or a second person, or a first person; but the Person, God veiled in human flesh.
MIGHTY.GOD.UNVEILED PHIL.PA V-3 N-22 64-0629
5-4 …while standing on the rock, Moses seen Him pass. He saw the back of Him. And he said, "It looked like a man," a man's back. Yet he did not see God; he only seen the veil of God.
The Bible said, "No man has seen God at any time, but the only Begotten of the Father has declared Him." So Moses saw Him veiled as a man.
6-3 And we find that Jehovah of the Old Testament was just Jesus of the New Testament. And--and Dr. Scofield here, we find that his word changing from form, we find the word "en morphe" in Greek, which means "the unseen was made visible." Something that cannot... We know it's there. It could be--cannot be seen, but yet, we know that it's there. And when He changed His form of the en morphe, which means that He changed from supernatural to natural... And He just changed His mask.
And otherwise, it's like a drama; He was acting. In--in the Greek when they would change their mask, maybe one play--one player might've acted in several different parts. And my daughter (present here)... They just had at the high school, a--a drama. And they... One boy, that I knowed, played about four parts, but he would go behind the stage and change his--his mask in order to come out to impersonate another character.
6-5 Now, if you will take the Old Testament prophecies concerning what the Messiah was to be, you can compare it with the life of Jesus, and you've got it exactly Who Jesus was. He was not just an ordinary man; He was God, en morphe. He was changed from--from the supernatural into the natural form of a man; yet He was God manifested in the flesh, veiled by a human, fleshly veil.
MIGHTY.GOD.UNVEILED PHIL.PA V-3 N-22 64-0629
15-1 In Joel 2:28 He promised that in these last days there would be a latter rain poured out upon the people in the last days. I think the Greek word there is "kenos," which means that "He emptied Hisself out," not in the way that we would say, like something was inside of somebody that had emptied out, but He poured Himself out. He changed His en morphe. He--He changed from what He was to what He is. He never changes His nature. But on the day of Pentecost He changed Himself from being the Son of man to the Son of God. He came, not with the people, He came in the people (See?), the same God to carry His ministry on through in this great age.
MASTERPIECE.THE JEFF.IN V-4 N-7 64-0705
79 The perfect image of the God-man, God En morphe had changed from Supernatural to the vision. And the vision was projected into the Image. And the Image was smitten so that the Supernatural could taste the feeling of death, God's perfect Masterpiece. He could not do it in Moses. He could not do it in the prophets. Isaiah who was sawed with saws till he was sawed to pieces... He could not do it in the prophets that were stoned. He could not do it, because He couldn't feel it. There was just a portion of Him. But in this perfect Masterpiece He was the fullness of the Godhead bodily. He could not only project Moses, He could project His entire being into this Person and taste death for the whole human race. God's perfect Masterpiece, God, so inspired by seeing It, He become the Redeemer of all ages to speak for those in the backgrounds who had been before and now.
WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 65-0221E
40 And now the Greek word En morphe mean that he changed His mask. And that's what God did. It's the same God all the time. God in the form of the Father, the--the Spirit, the Pillar of Fire, the same God was made flesh and dwelt among us--En morphe, brought out so He could be seen. And now, that same God is the Holy Ghost. Father, Son, Holy--not three Gods, three offices, three acts of the one God. The Bible said there's one God, not three. But that's how that they couldn't... You can't get this straightened out and have three gods. You'd never sell a Jew that; I tell you that--one who knows better--he knows there's only one God.
42 Notice, like the sculptor, he hides with a--a mask over it. That's what God's done to this age. It's been hid. All these things has been hid, and is supposed to be revealed in this age. Now, the Bible says they would be revealed in the latter times.
It's like a sculptor keeping his--his piece of work all covered over until the time he takes the mask off of it and there it is. And that's what the Bible has been. It has been a work of God that's been covered up. And it's been hid since the foundation of the world, and it's sevenfold mystery, and God promised in this day, at the age of this Laodicea church, He would take the mask off the whole thing and we could see it.
What a glorious thing, God, En morphe, masked in a Pillar of Fire, God, En morphe in a Man called Jesus, God, En morphe in His church: God above us, God with us, God in us, the condescending of God. Up there holy, no one could touch Him; He settled upon the mountain. And even if a animal touched the mountain, had to die. And then God come down and changed His tent, and come down and lived with us, become one of us, and we held Him. The Bible said, I Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness, for God was manifested in the flesh"--handled with hands! God eat meat. God drank water. God slept. God cried. He was one of us! Beautiful, typed in the Bible. That was God above us, God with us, now it's God in us, the Holy Spirit, not the third person, the same Person!
WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 65-0221E
67 He was at the beginning the Word, an En morphe body. He came in and lived in that in the Person of Melchisedec. Then later... We never heard no more of Melchisedec, because He became Jesus Christ.

58 He reveals Himself in His great form of what He claim as He En morphe's Himself into His servants and proves Himself.
UNVEILING.OF.GOD JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 64-0614M
87 Notice, through the ages, the same way, by His prophets He has revealed Himself. Them wasn't exactly prophets; they were gods. He said so. For what they spoke was God's Word. They were the flesh that God was veiled in. They were gods. Jesus said, Himself, said if, "How can you condemn Me when I say I'm the Son of God, and your own law says that them who the Word of the Lord came to was gods?" See?
So it was God formed in a man called a prophet. See? And the Word of the Lord came to this man, so it wasn't the prophet; the prophet was the veil, but the Word was God. The man's word won't act like that. See what I mean? It cannot act in that manner. But potentially it was God. See, He was the Word of God in the form of a man, called "a man."
Notice, He never changed His nature, only His form. Hebrews 13:8, said He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. So He did not change His nature when He come. He is always that Prophet, all down through the age, same thing, the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word. See? He cannot change His nature, but He changed His form. Hebrews 13:8, said He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He just changed His mask.

17 When He lived here on earth, He walked as a man; He looked like a man. He had all of His--His outward being as a man; yet, inwardly He was more than mankind. He was the Emmanuel. Today is the memorial of the greatest event that ever taken place in all the world. There never was a man, outside of this Man, Christ Jesus, Who said, "I have power to lay my life down, and have power to take it up again."
RISING.OF.THE.SUN JEFF.IN V-3 N-12 65-0418M
9-2 "He is not here, but He has risen!" What a--what a statement! He had proved His Word; He had proved it be--to be true, for He had now conquered death, hell, and the grave, the trinity of the devil--death, hell, and the grave. For Satan is the author of death; he is the possessor of hell and also the grave. And that was the trinity of Satan, being caused by one thing, that was death--death you go with the grave and being a sinner you go to hell. All the very... one thing, the trinity of Satan, which was death that had held man in captivity all these years, but now, the true trinity of God being One, manifested in Christ, Who was Life, and had broke the Seals and conquered the enemy and rose up the One, True, and Living God. "I am He that was dead, and I'm alive forevermore and have the keys of death and hell."
9-4 God in One, made man and dwelled among us, and conquered every enemy, and had proved that the trinity of Satan was conquered, and that the trinity of God was made known, 'cause only God alone had power to bring life back again. He was that Immanuel. God had been manifested in the flesh.
No wonder He could claim there, Matthew the 27th chapter, "All powers in heaven and earth is given into My hands. I send you to be My witnesses to all the world." He had conquered both death, hell, and the grave.
Not only did He do that and come out triumph with all the power in heavens and the earth, all that was the Father, all that was the Holy Ghost, and all that there ever was, was in Him. "All powers in heaven and in earth is given unto Me." Everything else is powerless; He had conquered it.
GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.OF.WORSHIP LA.CA V-18 N-2 65-0425E
72 The prophet said... Let's trace his name a little bit. The prophet said, "His Name would be called `Emmanuel.'" Now, Isaiah said that, about the 7th chapter. And also in Matthew 1:23, said, "This was all done, that it fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, `His Name shall be called Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, "God with us."'"
Emmanuel, and His Name was Jesus, God with us, with His Father's Name. He came in His Father's Name. There is where God placed His Name, in His Son. That's the only place that you can worship Him. The only place God will ever meet you, is in that Son which was typed by the sacrificial lamb.

87 …Hebrews 1, it says, "God in sundry times and divers manners spake to the fathers by the prophets; in this last day through his Son, Jesus Christ," see, because He was the manifestation of all the Word of the prophet. And He was the fullness of the Word. The Word was in Him, all the Word. He was Emmanuel, God manifested in flesh.
88 God come down in the form of the Holy Spirit, two wings like a dove settling down, and went upon Him saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I'm pleased to dwell in." Now, the King James there says, "In whom I'm pleased to dwell." What difference does it make, "in whom I'm pleased to dwell," or "whom I'm pleased to dwell in." See? "In whom I'm pleased to dwell" there it was, God in man, heaven and earth come together. God and man united. The greatest hour to that time there was on the earth, or ever had been.
SIR.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS PORT.ALBERNI.BC 62-0724
E-47 God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Is that right? All right. "Not Me," said Jesus, "doeth the works: but My Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." Now, if you're putting Scriptures down, Saint John 5:19, Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise." Now, remember, not what He hears the Father saying, but what He sees the Father doing. Therefore, Jesus never did nothing until God showed Him by a vision what to do first. If He didn't, the Scripture's wrong. Saint John 5:19 said, "Verily, I say unto you (that means absolutely), I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise; for the Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto." In other words, He just acted out in drama what God, the Father, showed Him to do, because God was in Christ.
Now, Matthew 3, it said, "This is My beloved Son," when He was coming down, a voice speaking from that, God, that was coming down like a dove. John bare record seeing it. And a voice come from it, saying, "This is My beloved Son in Whom, in Whom I am pleased to dwell." And if I was going to make it so you'd understand it better, that the early translators in King James... If you get the original Greek, it reads like this: "This is My beloved Son in Whom I'm pleased to dwell in." But you see, it's the same thing. "In whom I'm pleased to dwell." See? "I am pleased to dwell in My Son." Then He became Emmanuel, God with us.

104 How striking it ought to be, that God Himself would become a Baby. How that God so loved the world, that's one of the greatest Scriptures there is, how that, "The love of God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have Eternal Life." The very dust that He created on the earth, He become that dust. How striking it ought to be: God, Emmanuel, changing His cast from God to a Man, stretching His tent from the stars of heaven, to live here on earth with filthy creatures as we are. The love of God, how that He would do it.
How striking it ought to be to the sinner, to know that little Jehovah crying in a mother's arms, little Jehovah, not come in the polish of an Angel. He come as Abraham's Seed. He come as a man. He never come down the golden corridors of heaven. If it would, it'd be for the rich. But He was born in a manger, so poor He had to borrow a womb to be borned in. And when He left, He had to borrow a grave to be buried in: Jehovah, Emmanuel, a super Sign.
PERSEVERANCE JEFF.IN V-10 N-3 62-0218
30 Christ, when He was on earth, was the body of God. God created this body. It was a different body, yet it was a human body. You know, Solomon built Him a house. But Stephen said, "Howbeit the Most High don't dwell in houses made with hands, but a body has Thou prepared Me." Now, God prepared Himself a body in the form of the Lord Jesus, which was the Christ, meaning the anointed One. And, now, all that God was, was in Christ, He was the fulness of the godhead bodily. That's what the Scripture says. Now, and all that God was, He poured out in Christ. He was Emmanuel, God with us!
31 And all that Christ was, He poured out into the Church. What is it? Anointed one, to continue His work that His Word might live constantly. He lived by the Word of the Father. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth from the mouth of God." And the Church don't live by bread alone, but by the Word of Christ. And the Holy Spirit comes in and takes the Word of Christ and makes It a living action today.

And God in a type, which was to be taken away by an antetype... Just like the sacrifice of the lambs at the dedication was a type of the real Lamb coming for sacrifice, all the natural typing the spiritual...
And we find out that when this taken place, Stephen is speaking of it. He said, "Our fathers found a favor before God, and Solomon built Him a temple. But howbeit, the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands, as the prophet said, `Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool: and where is the house that you could build Me? Heaven's My throne; earth is My footstool; and how could you build Me a house to dwell in?'"
Then, how beautiful Hebrews 10:5, "But a body hast thou prepared Me," showing that God was going to dwell in a body.

And, "Where is the place of My rest, but a body has Thou prepared Me." Amen. There you are. "A body hast Thou prepared Me."
God dwells in the statue of a man, reflecting Himself into that being: perfect worship, God in us, being His Tabernacle, God manifesting. Oh, how we could stay on that till you'd almost suffocate in here from heat.
14-5 Notice, that God has always, at all times, reflected Himself in man. That was God in Moses; look at him: born a leader, Christ.
GODHEAD.EXPLAINED CHICAGO.IL V-2 N-24 61-0425B
38-1 I believe that God our Father overshadowed a virgin called Mary and created in her a Blood cell which brought forth Jesus Christ, which was the Son of God, the Tabernacle in which God inveiled Himself in flesh, manifested Himself among us: God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. I believe that that Blood cell was broke at Calvary for the remission of our sins, and the Spirit went out of Him and came back upon the church, 'cause the Christ, the Holy Spirit--the Christ the Logos, was in us now, the Holy Spirit by baptism, making us... Christ separated Himself giving His Life to each one of us, that we, as a group of people, might be the church of God.
DEDICATION ELIZABETHTOWN.KY 62-1111M
E-37 And when this body had been made a sacrifice, the correct Lamb had been sacrificed, there was coming forth then... God came to His own Body, which was His Bride, and there'd been one hundred and twenty temples that God had created was ready for dedication, that had got all their unbelief beat out of them. And they gathered in the upper room and waited for ten days for dedicational service. Then when completely surrendered, God came down again in the Shekinah Glory, and filled all the house where they were setting.
E-38 What did God do? Like the ark dropping into its proper sockets for the message of that day, God dropped back into His proper channel, not into a denomination, or into a building made with hands, but into the heart of men. He dropped in His place for the last day, which said the prophet Joel, "It shall come to pass in the last days I'll pour out My Shekinah upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your young men shall dream dreams, and the old men shall see visions." God came to His resting place where He finds rest, not in a building, but in the heart of His people He finds rest.

Now, that Pillar of Fire followed the children of Israel in the wilderness; It was in the burning bush that talked to Moses. When It was represented in a Man, Jesus, He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." I AM was the One in the burning bush. And the works that I AM did when it was in Jesus, promised It would come in the last days and do the same thing again. Here It is, same Pillar of Fire.

184 Now this is the end of the Gentile Age, like it was then to their age. The Gentile Church is being called. Now, God cannot change His program, because He is infinite, and He is perfect, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, and infinite. If He isn't, He isn't God. So, you see, He has got to do the same thing He did then. That's the reason they knowed in every generation that He manifested Himself, was the same way, knowing that He is the same.

48 Notice, those who have tonight Eternal Life, was with Him and in Him, in His thinking, before there ever was an Angel, star, Cherubim, or anything else. That's eternal. And if you have Eternal Life, you always was. Not your being here, but the shape and form that the infinite God... And if He isn't infinite, He isn't God.
God has to be infinite. We're finite; He's infinite. And He was omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. If He isn't then He can't be God. Knows all things, all places because of His omnipresence. Omniscient makes Him omnipresent. He is a being; He's not like the wind. He is a being; He dwells in a house, but being omniscient, knowing all things, makes Him omnipresent, because He knows everything that's going on. There can't be a flea bat its eyes but what He knowed it. And He knowed it before there was a world, how many times it'd bat it's eyes and how much tallow it had in it, before there ever was a world. That is infinite. We can't comprehend it in our minds, but that's God--God, infinite.

43 And God never changes his program. You can rest solemnly on what God says the first time. He ever has to stay with that. He cannot, He cannot and never did, at any time, change it. Because if He does, then He--He's finite like we are. He makes mistakes, He has to apologize and go back. But He is the source of all wisdom, source of all power, infinite, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. See, He's just, He's God. If He isn't all those things, then He isn't God. But He has to be that to be God.

One time while I was in a vision, I was speaking to a Being standing by me; and He said back, He said, "Your thoughts are louder in the Heavens than your voice is on the earth." He knows what you're thinking. You might say you--you do this and you do that, and it, but, you see, down in your heart, if you think different, you're--you're doing something wrong. You should be just what you are, see, the--the heart. The mouth should speak what's in the heart. See? And so we find that the people doesn't realize the--the Presence of God.

48 Now, Jesus being man, physically, was tired, weary. Now laying there, tired; virtue had gone from Him. And then Him being God, He could only do what... Now you say, "How could He be God and be man?" See, there is the mystery. See, in body He was man, in spirit He was God. See?
Someone asked me, said, "Then how did, who did He pray to in the Garden of Gethsemane?"
I said, "I'll answer you that when you answer this: Do you believe you have the Holy Ghost?"
"Yes."
I said, "Then Who do you pray to? Where is He at when you are praying to Him? When, you claim you have Him, and yet you're praying to Him." See? People just... they just get some little idea and run wild with it, you see, that's the way it goes.
53 Now, in Spirit He was God. Jesus said in Saint John 3, see, "When, the Son of man which now is in Heaven, yet standing here on earth, when the Son of man which now is in Heaven." How would you answer that?
See, He said He was in Heaven then, and here He was standing on earth. See? Oh, my. You see, that, He had to be God, omnipresent. See? Sure, He is present everywhere. He knows every thought. By being omniscient, knowing all things, He can be omnipresent. See?

They said, "The Son of David."
He said, "Then why did David, in the Spirit, say to Him, `The Lord said unto my Lord, "Set Thou on My right hand"'?" How can He be His Lord and His Son? No man asked Him anything else.
In Revelation He said, "I am the Root and the Offspring of David." See? "I am the Vine and the Branch. I'm the beginning. I was before the beginning; I was the beginning, and--and I was the Offspring of him too."
Now, here He said, "No man has come down from Heaven, but the Son of man which now is in Heaven."
A lady asked me one time, a question, I said, "Answer this one for me."
Said, "Who'd Jesus pray to in the garden of Gethsemane?"
I said, "Who was He talking about when He said, `No man has ascended to Heaven, but He that come down from Heaven, even the Son of man which is in--which now is in Heaven.'?"

E-72 Law without penalty is not law. If you say, "It's against the law to run a red light," and no penalty to it, then it isn't law. And God's law has penalty.
"In the day you eat thereof, that day you die." And when man ate thereof there's not... God could not send another person to take the place. It would be unjust again. For me to make this brother die, for what this brother done, would be wrong. God had to come Himself. And the only way He could do it would be come in His own flesh, which was His own creative body that He made Himself, that He could suffer death. Amen!
E-73 There's the gospel in the power. It's God manifested in the flesh, Emmanuel, to take away the sins of the world. And in that blood we trust, not in the Jew or Gentile, but in the blood of God, which was Jesus Christ. That's the reason He said, "I and my Father are one. My Father dwelleth in me." It was the Father in Him.
A woman said, "Who did he pray to in the garden of Gethsemane," on a street meeting one time.
I said, "I want to ask you something. You testified you had the Holy Ghost. Where's it at? What do you pray to?" It's on the inside of you, of course.
Well, we have the Spirit with measure. He had it without measure. We are sons and daughters of God by measure, like taking a spoonful of water out of the ocean, and He's the whole ocean. But the same chemicals that's in the spoon is in the whole ocean. It's quantity, but the same quality. Therefore, if Jesus Christ's the same yesterday, today, and forever, God is in us. Yes.
E-74 Notice. God in His universe, God in His Word, God in His Son. In this day where... The social gospel preachers, brethren, try to make Him some kind of a... just a prophet, or some good philosopher, or something like that. He was either God or the greatest deceiver the world's ever had. He was God, nothing less, nothing more.

He was God manifest in the flesh: Jehovah, the Father, dwelling in His Son, reconciling the world to Himself.
That's the reason we was commissioned by Saint Matthew there, "baptize them in the Name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost." Watch. Not three Gods, three manifestations of the same God. God the Father was a Pillar of Fire. It was made flesh and dwelled among us: God the Son. God above us, God with us, now, the same God, the Holy Ghost in us.

She said, "All right, I'll give you your own Scripture." Said, "St. John the 11th chapter, the Bible said that when Jesus went down to the grave of Lazarus, the Bible said he wept. And he could not weep and be Divine."
I said, "Is that the end of it?" I said, "Is that all you got to say?"

And I said, "Lady, your argument is thinner than the broth made out of the shadow of a chicken that starved to death." I said, "Why, you know... you know better than that."
And she said, "What do you mean by that?"
I said, "Why, you look here. Let me show you something." I said, "He was a man, but you fail to see He was more than a man." I said, "He was a man when He was crying. He was a man when He stood there with them little stooped shoulders over... when the Bible says there was no beauty we should desire Him. He was a man standing there like that, weeping. But when He pulled that little shoulder up, looked up towards heaven, and said, 'Lazarus, come forth,' and a man that had been dead four days stood on his feet and lived again, that was more than a man. Man cannot do that. That was God in His Son."
E-77 That dead man... why, he was mortified. In other words, he was rotten. Said, "He stinketh." His soul was four days' journey somewhere. We'll not argue about that, wherever it was. But whatever it was, corruption knew its Master. Hallelujah. And a soul knew its Creator and its lover, and a soul that was gone from a rotten body four days stood on his feet and lived again. Tell me a man can do that? That was God in His Son doing that.
I will admit that He was a man hungry, when He come down from Jerusalem that night, looking around over a tree trying to find something to eat. He was a man, that's right. But when He took five biscuits, and two fish, and fed five thousand, taken up twelve baskets--that was more than a man. That was God, the Creator, sitting there. He could turn water into wine. He could take biscuits and multiply food and fish. God was in His Son, absolutely.
E-78 Yes, He was a man when He was laying on that little old boat that night, and it flopping up and down, so tired from seeing visions, and virtue going out, and preaching the gospel, healing the sick and being criticized by everybody. He went back in the back of the ship and lay down. That was a man laying back there asleep. But that time ten thousand devils of the sea swore they'd drown Him that night. There He was so tired He couldn't move. Even the waves couldn't even wake Him up. The little boat like a bottle stopper on a angry sea still didn't wake Him up. He was a man. He was sleepy, He was tired, He was wore out.
But when once aroused, walked out and looked upon it, He said, "Oh, ye of little faith," put His foot up on the brail of the boat, looked up and said, "Peace, be still." And the winds and the waves obeyed Him. That was more than a man speaking from there. That was God speaking out of His Son. Yes, sir. God was in His Son. I believe He was Divine.

"All the power in heavens and earth..." Where is that... If there's a god up there besides Him, he's powerless. See, there could be no other God. All the powers of heavens and earth lays in His hand. So, you see, standing on the right hand (as the person asked the question), doesn't mean...

And let me say this, "You've never seen me." You've never seen me in all your life, and you never will see me. That's right. You see this body that declares this person that's in here.

HEBREWS 1:1-3
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
HEBREWS 10:10-14
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

77 John is the--the messenger at that time. Walking in the midst of these seven golden candlesticks was Jesus Christ, the Almighty God. What is He doing? He didn't say He was walking in one candlestick; He was walking in the midst of all of them. What does that denote? That He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever, and in every church age to every believer. He comes to--with the Holy Ghost to every age and to every person: same yesterday, today, and forever.
78 "Holding in His right hand." "Right hand" means His "authority and power." Holding in His right hand (under, controlled) the seven messengers to the seven church ages. Oh, I like that. See Him walking around through these church ages, the Christ, making Himself known to His people …

Now, He ascended on High. And Philip said, when he was dying... Or Stephen said, "I see heavens opened, and the--and Jesus setting at the right hand of God."

The One Who had ascended to the right hand of power, the same One who Stephen saw as he was stoned, the One who walked amidst the 7 Golden Candlesticks, the Author and Finisher of our faith; He who held the 7 Angels in His hand, was perfectly identified when there was a great burst of thunder, and 7 Angels appeared. There in the sky above them a cloud declared Who opened the Seals, the White wigged One, the Supreme Authority.

THINKING.MAN'S.FILTER JEFF.IN V-5 N-6 65-0822E
32 I'd read over in the Book of the--of Daniel, where He came to the Ancient of Days, Whose hair was as white as wool. Then I seen that Ancient of Days; He was that Ancient of Days, the same yesterday, today, and forever. I seen it was a symbol. Then why the white wool? And then I--the Holy Spirit seemed to speak to me about a picture I saw one time of a ancient judge. Then I went to the history; I went back into the Bible history and all to find out. And the old judges like the high priest in Israel, he had to have that white, gray woolly-like hair and beard, because the white over him signified that he was supreme authority of the judges in Israel. And even in today and down to a few hundred years ago--maybe a couple hundred years ago or maybe not like that, later than that--all the English judges, no matter how young they was or how old they was, when they went in for judgment, they wore a white wig and--to show that there's no other authority in that kingdom above their word. Their word is the ultimate of the kingdom. What they say, that's all of it. And now, then I seen that there He was standing there, yet a young Man, but the white wig on. He was the full, supreme Authority; He was the Word. And He's having--wearing the white wig.
34 Then later on when we got through and the--the sermon and went out west, and when the Angels of the Lord appeared out there for the Seven Seals, and it went up into the air (which we had the picture of it here and around over the country), there He was standing there still wigged with that supreme authority. He is the Head of the church. He's Head of the Body. There's nothing like Him anywhere. He made all things by Himself. He made all things for Himself, without He there wasn't nothing made. He has all authority in heavens and earth, and everything belongs to Him. And in Him dwells the Fullness of the Godhead bodily. And the Word was God and made flesh among us, and He was the One Who revealed the entire secret of the whole plan of salvation that all the prophets and wise-man had spoke of. He alone was that wigged One and supreme authority.

I thought, "I think I'm looking at it right."
Said, "Turn it right." See?
I thought, "Maybe that Voice means turn it to the right." And when I did, you see what it is: Hofmann's Head of Christ, at thirty-three. Here, looky here, see His dark beard, His face, His eyes, His nose, and everything else. See the part in His hair here coming up. And He's wigged with that white Angel wig to show that the Message of Him being God is the Truth. He is the supreme Judge of the universe, supreme Judge of heaven and earth. He is God, and nothing else but God. He is God expressed in human form called the Son of God, which the Son was the mask. And if that don't make our Message exactly right: identified by the Scripture, identified in service, identified by His Presence, the same yesterday, today, and forever... Therefore those Seven Seals are the Truth, brethren. (see WHAT IS THE ATTRACTION p. 22)

He is the supreme Judge, and none other but Him. He is to look upon as Alpha and Omega. And there He was a young Man, no more thirty years old, wearing a wig of white, showing that He was supreme, God, "The Father hath committed all judgment unto the hands of the Son." Hallelujah. The revelation is never wrong. Speak it anyhow, no matter what it sounds like: goes right with the Word.

63 He is the last of the authority; He's Supreme Authority. Even God said so Himself, "This is My beloved Son; hear ye Him."
67 There He is with them Angels, the message, which was the seven--breaking of them seven seals that revealed serpent's seed and all these things here. And it shows that it is His very covering; it's His--it's His supreme authority. He is Supreme, and He's wigged or--or covered. The Bible said that He changed His countenance, or He changed Himself, en morphe. The word comes from the Greek word, "en morphe," which means "a Greek actor that plays many parts"; today he is one thing, in the next act he's something else. He was God the Father in one act; God the Son in another act; and He's God the Holy Ghost in this act. See? There He is; His Word is still Supreme. We're living in the last days.

When He sent the seven Angels to reveal the seven messengers that'd been down through there, and show the loose ends, each Angel coming each day and revealing the loose ends that Luther left, and Wesley left, and Pentecost left, is all represented in there.

Just turn the picture from this (the way they had it), this a-way, the way it's supposed to be.
And you... Can you see it? He is Supreme Judge; there's none other but Him. And that is a perfect identification again, a vindication that this Message is the Truth. It is Truth. And making Him, not a third person, but the only Person…

So therefore, no matter what a church would say, what anyone else would say, if you're borned of the Spirit of God, you become part of the Bible. God told Ezekiel, he was a prophet, He said, "Take the scroll and eat it," then the prophet and the scroll became part of each other. And that's the believer when he receives the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible, and the Spirit of God is the Word of God. "My Words are Spirit.

1081-88 Now, "Brother Branham, could Jesus look like you, or you be Jesus, or something like that?" One sense of the word, that's exactly the truth; another sense of the word is an antichrist. That's the difference between right and wrong. To make me the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, would be an antichrist (See?), for that Person of the Lord Jesus is setting at the right hand of the Majesty on high, and will come again in great power and glory. But for His Life that was in Him being upon me, and upon you who have Him, it's exactly the truth; and you become Christ.
You remember my message on Messiahettes? See? You are... The word "Messiah" means an--"the anointed One." Now, you are, if you have the Holy Spirit, you become the anointed one. See? Then there's all kinds of anointed ones.
1081-90 Now watch, if it's a Bible anointed one... Many of them are anointed... See? The whole thing is in such a great conglomeration of every kind of a mix-up; and--and of--Satan with all of his cunningness come in and impersonated just to the dot, almost to the dot. There's only one way you can absolutely be sure; check the word by word, word by word. That's the only way you can. But to me as a--a person, William Branham, or--or any other man or woman to be the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour, that is an error. But to be anointed with His Spirit, which brings His own Person of His Life into you...

1085-110 Now remember, we are not the Word, but we are the Word. Uh-huh. Now, you got it? Jesus was not God, but He was God. He was a Man, yet He was God. He could cry, and yet He could raise the dead. He could cry for a man being dead and raise him back up again. He was Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah-rapha, Jehovah Manasses; He was Jehovah, all completely. He was Jehovah, and yet He was a Man. He owned the earth, and made the earth, and had not a place to lay His head. He said, "The birds that I made has got nests, and I haven't got a place to lay my head. The foxes that I created, has holes in the ground, and I haven't even got one Myself even to be buried in." That's right. He had to borrow somebody's grave, to be buried in.
1085-111 He created a womb that was in a woman. He had no womb to be born in; he had to borrow a womb. He created the earth and had not a place to be buried in; he had to borrow a to--hole in the ground to be buried in, Joseph of Arimathaea. See? They had--they had to--had to borrow a place, yet He was God, proved that He was God.
Now, you understand? We are not... We are Messiahettes, but not that Jesus. He is our Father; we're just anointed with His Spirit, …But you see, His Life is separated on the day of Pentecost.

38 The Word was in Moses, the prophet. He went up on the mountain. He had met the Pillar of Fire, and It was spoke to him. He went down and performed the signs of the prophet, brought children of Israel out of Egypt to this mountain. And then God came down and identified Moses, by bringing him into that Pillar of Fire inveiling Him. No one else could go. Not any person could try to impersonate that, could not do it; they died. Taken one man, he went in behind here into the Pillar of Fire into the Glory of God, and into the Shekinah Glory; and when he came out with that Word for that age, he was so shining with the Glory of God till he had to veil his face. The people couldn't steadfast look upon him. And that was the natural veil.
WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 65-0221E
160 But then where's that Royal Seed of Abraham? Where is their sign, that He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom," that God came down and was manifested in human flesh, and told what Sarah was thinking back in her heart in the tent behind Him, the last sign before the Gentile world was destroyed by fire?
And the church has got it's last sign before the whole world's going to be destroyed, this Gentile kingdom be destroyed by the fire and wrath of God. You believe that?
That Melchisedec was flesh, represented Himself in a human body; and then later He was made flesh. And now tonight, He's the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Do you believe it?
Who is this Melchisedec then, that's the same yesterday... Never had no father, never had no mother; He never had no beginning of days; He never had any end to life. And He met Abraham, and what kind of a sign did He perform? Then when He was made flesh, He said it would repeat again just before the end time. You believe that? I believe it! Let’s pray.
163 Dear God, I believe the Scriptures, that You have said You was the same yesterday, today, and forever. And as sincerely in my heart, Lord, I know that something's fixing to take place. I cannot strictly identify it; I'm afraid to say anything, Lord. Thou knowest the heart of Your servants. And how many times down through the age when You sent things, people failed to get it. Man is constantly praising God for what He did, and saying what great things He's going to do, but ignoring what's He's doing.
It would be known in the days, the last days, when the Son of man will be revealed--be revealed to us. When the Son of man is revealed, that'll be the sign He will be revealed by.

You never see it in the church ages there where anything but just the reformers, and so forth, which comes by revelation. But when all these seven thunders mysteries is to be made known, He has to come again as Son of man. That is the same Holy Spirit back into human flesh perfectly paralleling Sodom when God was manifested in a human being. See? And if He come then to the natural seed, Abraham, He comes now to the royal seed, Abraham, who is also waiting for the royal promised Son, not the natural, Isaac, but the royal promised Son. And that's why there can be nothing else but prophetic, as you have well explained it, a prophet for these last days.

He's appearing in His Church in the form of the Holy Spirit, showing that it's Him, 'cause people cannot do these things that you see the Holy Spirit doing; so that's the appearing of the Lord.

"Will it come after while, Brother Branham?"
It is now. And I hope I won't have to make this so personal of this own meeting, but that your spirit within you that's give you by God, can read what I'm talking about. The Son of man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy, showing them His great Presence, doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth, revealing Himself like He did to Abraham. Before the destruction, He has come now in mercy, revealing Himself to the Church. It's being laughed at and scoffed at. The next time He reveals Hisself, it'll be in judgment on the world and the nations that's forgot God and sinned their way of grace--their day of grace, rather, away.

E-98 Now, when that Angel of the Lord came to Abraham, there in the time before the destruction, now, that was God appearing in human flesh. And Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man." As it was in the days of Lot... He give the morals of what they were doing in the days of Noah.
In the days of Lot, watch that Messenger to Abraham. Watch the messengers to Lot and the nominal church. Just, "Come out, come out," and Abraham pleading for them. Notice, the Angel, God, Elohim, appearing in a form of human flesh shows that Elohim in the last days will appear, not the coming of Christ, but the appearing of Christ in human flesh in His church, making His same signs and things that He did, and hasn't done it in the church for two thousand years (See?): the appearing of the Lord.

editor’s note:
Brother Branham taught the “appearing” was “the revealing” of the Word for this age; (LK 17:30) and the “coming” as the literal, physical return or Advent of Christ. Note: the prophet indicated “appearing” as “His presence” not the word “parousia.” In 1 JOHN 2:28, 3952 means “the coming.”
The distinction between the “appearing” and the “coming” is also specified in the two Greek definitions of the word “appearing.” Notice on the following page: the “appearing,” 602 or “the revealing;” and “appearing” 2015 the “brightness of His coming.” One meaning the revealing of the “son of man”…Christ, the Word, and the other meaning an event; the literal physical return of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the resurrection.

The Word comes to a prophet, and He promised it in Malachi 4, and to restore the faith of the people back to the original grain. What went in the ground is here the same. The grain is come up through here. It come up as Son of God; now It reveals Itself here as Son of man, and then It reveals Itself as Son of David (See?) on the throne. See? Them three sons, just exactly. Oh, my, again like the original...

At that time, what time should it be? When the royal Seed of Abraham is looking for the promised Son. And all types must be fulfilled.

E-92 Jesus said in the 17th chapter of St. Luke, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man is being revealed." When the revelation is unfolding itself in the days when the world will be like Sodom, what will it be? The characteristic of that Scripture being fulfilled--God identifying Himself…
PROVING.HIS.WORD JEFF.IN 64-0816
222 Who is the Son of man? The Word! And the Word is quicker than, powerful than a two-edged sword, and discerns the thoughts that's in the heart. What did He have to do? He has to prove that Word. What will He do? Notice of it when we see it happening, look at It in the same form that He was here in the beginning, the Pillar of Fire. My! Proving that He's Hebrews 13:8, said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." What was it? Jesus Christ, the same yesterday,
that was Christ that was in the wilderness with Moses. How many knows the Bible said that? Yesterday! That was Christ when Paul was speaking here today (you believe that?) in the New Testament. Then the Son of man, the same Christ, in the last day.

And now compare that, and then put another Scripture, Luke 17:30, Malachi 4: As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, the anointed Word of the hour, so will these men, not man, men, anointed ones, resist the Truth.
In the very day that the Son of man is revealed, Revelations 10:1-7, read it when you get home... The seventh angel's Message, opening up the Seals... What is it? Not the angel is the Son of man, but the messenger is revealing the Son of man. Can you get it separated now? That's where it seems to be so hard for you. You see? Not the Son of man Himself, but the seventh angel, the seventh messenger, is revealing to the public the Son of man…

And one day you'll see that the One that you feeled in your heart and see His identification, will become personalized before you. Then you and He are One. You've united by the Word, and the Word was in the beginning will go back to the beginning which is God. "And that day you'll know that I'm in the Father, the Father in Me, I in you, and you in Me." Hallelujah. We're here! Hallelujah. I'm so glad to see Him personifying Himself right among us and see what He promised for the Word, not what somebody's emotions, singing, and jumping, and dancing, but by His Word (amen!)

Not down in Sodom, but to Abraham; and now to Abraham's Seed, after Him, shows we're Abraham's Seed, Amen. Oh, my. I feel really good, right now.
THIS.DAY.THIS.SCRIPTURE PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-5 65-0125
43 See, "In the days that the Son of man will be revealed!" I want to draw your attention.
See, He came in three names. He came as Son of man, which was prophet. And that's what He did, He proved His ministry, by being a prophet. We all know that. Every one of us knows it. He never said He was the Son of God; He said He was the Son of man. Now, today, He is the Son of God, which He returned back, and now He is in the form of the Holy Ghost, the unseen Person; but yet, God, the Son of God. In the Millennium, He sits upon His Father's throne, which He'll be Son of David. He revealed Himself first as Son of man, a prophet; this age, through the church age, Son of man... or Son of God; and in the other age, Son of David. Three sons!
46 But you notice here, He said, at the ending of the church age, it had got in such a mess till He would be revealed again as Son of man, "when the Son of man is being revealed." How appropriate was that mix-up yesterday! And I hope you don't miss it.
We have had the revelation of Son of God, but the last promise that Abraham had before the son was made... or brought into existence, the one that he had been promised; before the promised son showed up, God manifested Himself there at Sodom as a prophet, being a man, in flesh, God. Elohim…

E-35 Now, when Jesus came He wasn't just a man. He wasn't just the third person of the trinity. He was God! He was God Himself! He was Emmanuel! And we are taught in the Bible that we are saved by the Blood of God. When God Himself became one of us He--He changed His--His--His... what He was. He changed His tent. He came down, condescending from glory and became man. Therefore born without sex He created Himself a body, that He lived in Himself, Emmanuel, God represented with us, the Word made flesh among us, and lived with us to redeem many sons back to God through the shedding of this Blood.
GREATER.THAN.SOLOMON DAL.TX V-19 N-10 64-0306
184 Now is this Holy Spirit that we talk about, is that Jesus Christ? Sure, It is. See, He is God; known as God, the Holy Ghost. It ain't another God; it's the same God. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, is not three Gods; it's three attributes of the same God, see, just the same God in three forms. You see, in other, was three offices, like, you know; when He served as Father, and then as Son. It's God condescending, coming from One Who cannot be touched (even to touch the mountain, he had to die), till we could handle Him in flesh.
185 And now He is in you. He sanctified you with His Blood, that He might live in you. "At that day, You know I am in the Father, the Father in Me; I in you, and you in Me." See? It's God above us, God with us, God in us. See?
186 And that's Christ, tonight, the Holy Spirit. He is the same. And you are... He is the vine, and you're the branches. Have faith in Him. And if He will identify Himself, tonight, being among us!
PARADOX BAKF.CA V-22 N-5 64-0206M
206 And the Father now dwells in us, by His death. He sanctified a church; that absolutely, this church, the clean... unclean, filthy. God condescending, from a Pillar of Fire; down to be made man; and then the Holy Spirit right in us. Don't you see what it is? The same God coming down all the time, now. God above us; God with us; God in us. See? Like, the thoughts of God; the Word of God; and the manifestation of the Word.
207 Just the same thing, from the beginning, God thinking; a Father, He was; a Son, He was; a Saviour, He was; the Healer He was. The Words were spoke, and It was manifested, "Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son; His Name shall be called Emmanuel, Counseller, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father," and it was! And from that, come forth, "That He might bring forth many sons unto God." The whole thing is God, revealed! God above us; God with us; God in us. A paradox, indeed, that God would dwell in man, Himself. Sure.
QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS JEFF.IN COD 64-0823E
1019-105 And now, what was that other question? I get so wound up in these, I forget what the things were. One of them was, "Was I the Son of man?" and... Here it is I believe. "... the Son of man or was the Pillar of Fire the Son of man?" No. The Pillar of Fire is the Anointing. The Pillar of Fire... Now, this may go a little deep unless it's some of you theologians, Dr. Vayle, probably Brother here, and some of these ministers here from Arkansas, and the--my good friends around, they'd probably know.
Now, that Pillar of Fire is the Logos that went out of God, the Logos, which is actually the attribute of the Fullness of God. When God become into a form to where It could be seen, It was the anointing of the great Spirit that went forth, Its condescending, coming down, God, the Father, the Logos that was up over Israel, that... He was holy, could not bear sin. There had to be a blood offering right in Eden. Then that Logos become flesh and dwelt among us; and where this Logos dwelt in a human body, which was the Sacrifice...
1019-108 When man was made in the image of God... And then God came down in the image of man to redeem man; that brought man and God together. Heavens and earth hugged and kissed each other; God and man embraced each other as Fatherhood and Sonship when the Logos became flesh and dwelled among us.
Jesus said, "I came from God, and I go to God." Is that right? After His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension, when the body was taken up to set at the right hand of God... Now, I don't mean God's got a right hand; God's a spirit. But at the "right hand" means "in power and authority of God." That in that Name everything in heaven is named after It and subject to It. Everything in earth is named after It and subject to It, a Name above all names, Jesus Christ. Now, this Logos that was in Him, which was the Spirit of God, the Anointing, through the sanctifying grace of the Blood, brought many sons to God, which is anointed with this same Logos.
1020-111 Now, on the day of Pentecost It come down, that Pillar of Fire, and broke apart like that, and tongues of fire set upon each of them, not their tongues, but tongues of fire set upon each of them, a elected, selected group, identified by this Pillar of Fire, showing that God had separated Himself into man. Do you get it? God, the Logos, separating Himself into men; God, not in one person, He's in His Church universal. That's the reason Jesus said, "The works that I do shall you also, more..." Now, I know the King James says, "greater," but the right translation there is "more than this shall you do." God was bottled and confined in one Man, Jesus Christ. But now He's bottled and confined in the whole universal Church of the living God. Right now, while God is here speaking with us in our hearts, He's in Africa; He's in Asia; He's in Europe; He's in England. Wherever believers are gathered together, there He is in the midst of them.
1020-113 Now, after His death, burial, and ascension, and the coming of the Holy Ghost, Paul on his road down--which was Saul--to Damascus, he was struck down by a Pillar of Fire, the Logos. And that Jew would've never called that Pillar of Fire, "Lord," unless he knew It was the same Logos that his people followed through the wilderness. See? Now, that was not the Son of man; that was the Logos.
Now, we say this with reverence, and love, and respect. See? As Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, and also that in the last days, as it was before Lot's time, or in Lot's time in Sodom, so shall it be in the day that the Son of man reveals Himself again, revealing Himself. Now, in this last day the Logos that was upon Jesus--which He has become from that back to the Pillar of Fire again and has descended down on the earth to (I was going to say something, but I watch the tape. They wouldn't believe that if you told them. It wouldn't make any difference. They... People wouldn't believe it, but I'll omit that)--but has come down for, like an investigating judgment goes on.
1021-115 And now, this great Pillar of Fire that's absolutely identified even by scientific cameras, that's here on the earth today. There's the picture of It hanging there. I believe it's still there, isn't that right? Is it there? Scientifically proven by the best we got. George J. Lacy, the head of the FBI for fingerprint and documents, said, "I called it psychology myself, Reverend Branham, but,"
said, "the light struck the lens. I put it under ultra ray lights and had an examination here for four or five days. And the light struck the lens. And this lens won't take psychology." Now, that's identified.
Then watch the works of It. It, among us, proves the same Jesus that once lived in Palestine, the same Spirit was upon Him has come up through a Body until It's come back to Headship again, which He's coming soon to claim the Body. Amen. The Head's coming to the Body. You get it? That will be the Son of God, the Son of man, the Son of David, the I AM, the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley, the Morning Star.
1021-117 I am not He; I am His servant. And the Pillar of Fire is not He; It's in Spirit form (See?) which was upon the Son of man and has come now to anoint sons of men, to bring back a ministry just exactly like He said it would be, in order for the Head and the rest of the Body to connect together.

160 Let's look at Him, what He is doing now. He is Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, the same Jehovah God that was made manifest in Him. "At that day you'll know that I was in the Father, and the Father in Me; I in you, and you in Me." God condescending from a Pillar of Fire to a Man; and from that Man's sacrificed life, the Blood that cleansed us and come down into us to fellowship again to pull out a church for an Eden again.
JOHN 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

162-4 PERGANEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK.CPT.5
In John 1:1 where it says "In the beginning was the Word," the root from which we get our translation for `Word' is `Logos' which means 'the thought or concept.' It has the double meaning of `thought' and 'speech.' Now a `thought expressed' is a `word', 'or words.' Isn't that wonderful and beautiful? John says the concept of God was expressed in Jesus. And Paul says the very same thing in Hebrews 1:1-3, "God, Who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, (Logos) Whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by Whom also He made the worlds; Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His Person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." God became expressed in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus was the Express Image of God. Again in John 1:14, "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us." The very substance of God was made flesh and dwelt amongst us. The great Spirit-God unto Which no man could approach, Which no man had seen or could behold was now tabernacled in flesh and dwelt among men, expressing the fullness of God to men. John 1:18, "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, Which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him." God, Who on occasions would manifest His presence by the cloud or pillar of fire that struck fear in the hearts of men; this God, Whose heart characteristics were made known only by revelation of words through the prophets, now became Emmanuel (God with us) declaring Himself. The word, `declare,' is taken from the Greek root which we often interpret as exegesis, which means to thoroughly explain and make clear. That is what the Living WORD, Jesus, did. He brought God to us, for He was God. He revealed God to us with such perfect clarity that John could say about Him in I John 1:1-3 "That Which was from the beginning, Which we have heard, (Logos means speech) Which we have seen with our eyes, Which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled of the Word of Life; (For the Life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that Eternal Life, Which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That Which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." When God was truly revealed, He was manifested in the flesh. "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father."
SHALOM SIERRA.VISTA.AZ V-13 N-5 64-0112
7 Jesus. "No Man has seen God at any time, but the only begotten of the Father has declared Him." See? In other words, God was identified. The--the Person of God was identified in the Body, the Lord Jesus Christ, so He was the expressed image of God. Or, God expressing Himself through an image (See?), through an image, Man. God expressed Himself to us, and He was God. Not a third person or second person; He was the Person, God. He was God Himself, identifying Himself, so we could feel Him.
8 I Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy, that's argument, great is the mystery of godliness, for God was manifested, or made known, in the flesh." Isn't that wonderful? God! And we could never understand God as He moved through a Pillar of Fire, and so forth, as He did. But we understood Him when He become one of us (See?), when He become Man. Then He could talk to us, and we could feel Him, handle Him, touch Him, and everything. And as the Scripture plainly says that "we have handled God," See? with our hands, touched Him with our hands.
9 God is in man. And He's identifying Himself today in His church. In the borned again Christian, God identifies Himself, that He remains God. And the outside world will only know God as they see God in you and I. That's the only way that they'll know God, is when we are written epistles, epistle of the Scripture, we are read of all man. And the life that we live reflects what's on the inside of us. A man is identified by the works that he does. So our works should be good (See?), always good, because we are representing our Lord Jesus Christ.

Where in the Bible did It even speak the word "trinity"? Where could there be three gods, that we worship three gods and not be heathens? How can they be separate when He said, "I and My Father are One. Except you believe that I'm He, you'll perish in your sins (See?), your unbelief." Sin is unbelief. You'll perish in your unbelief.

That's--that's a revelation. If Jesus said, "I and My Father are One," then how can they be two? See? Now, they're not two.
A woman once said to me, and I was explaining that, said, "You and your wife are--are two, yet you're one." I said, "But God and the Son is different from that. See?" I said, You see me?"
"Yes."
"Do you see my wife?"
"No."
I said, "Then Father and Son's different; Jesus said, 'When you see Me, you've seen the Father.'" See? The Father and the Son... The Father was Almighty Jehovah God dwelling in a Tabernacle called Jesus Christ, which was the anointed Son of God. Jesus was a man; God is a Spirit. And no man has seen God at any time, but the only begotten of the Father has declared Him. He was... He... His Personality, His Being, His Deity, whatever He was, He was God. He was nothing less or nothing more than God. Yet, He was a man. He was a man, a house that God dwelt in. That's right. He was God's dwelling place.

68-202 Matthew 28:19, you say, "Jesus said, 'Go ye therefore in all the world, teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.'" That's correct. But not in the name of the Father, name of the Son, name of the Holy Ghost. The name of the Father... the Name, not names of the Father... Father's not a "name." How many knows that? How many fathers is there here? Raise your hands. How many sons is here?
Raise your hand. How many humans is here? Raise your hands. All right. Now, what's your name? Not father, son, nor human.
68-204 A woman said to me one time, who was a strict tri-theist, she said, "Brother Branham, but the Holy Ghost is a name."
I said, "The Holy Ghost is not a name. The Holy Ghost is what It is. It is the Holy Ghost, not a name." That's what It is. I'm a human, but my name's not human. My name's William Branham.

26-1 Well, if Jesus said--Jesus Christ the Son of God, which said, "Go ye therefore, teach all nations, baptizing them into the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," and neither Father, Son, or Holy Ghost is a name; then if it is a puzzle, we'd better go back to the first of the book.
Now, let's turn back to the 1st chapter of Matthew, and we'll start there. Gives the genealogy till it comes down to the 18th verse. Now, watch. Now, watch just a minute. This is Father on my right side; this in the middle is Son; and this is the Holy Ghost. Now, this is the Father of Jesus Christ. Is that right? God is the Father of Jesus Christ. We all believe that? All right. Now, Matthew 1:18 said.
Now, the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When... his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before... (she)... they, came together, she was found with a child of the Holy Ghost. (I thought God was His Father.)
And she shall bring forth a son,... they shall call his name JESUS:
And Joseph her husband, being a just man,... not willingly to make her a publick example, but minded to put her away, privily. (on this wise)
... while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary, thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the [The ministers say, "Holy Ghost."--Ed.]
I thought God was His Father? Now, has He got two fathers, brethren? He can't have. If He was, He was a bastard child, and what kind of a religion have we got there? You've got to admit that God the Father and the Holy Ghost is the same self Spirit. Sure it is. Sure, it's the same self Spirit. Now, we got down to see that.
And she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from his... sin.
... this was all done, that it might be fulfilled... (I'm quoting Scripture, you ministers know, as I go.)... that it might be fulfilled... spoke of the prophet by the Lord saying, ... a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a child... and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us.
Is that right? Then, what is the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Why, certainly.
27-1 That's the reason Peter baptized them in the Name of Jesus Christ. But I don't care if you're baptized in the name of Rose of Sharon, Lily of the Valley, or Morning Star, that's titles too. If your heart is right towards God... He knows your heart. But now... Now, I expressed that.
Now, now, I said, "Now..."
Brother Scism said, "Now." 'Course, sure; that looked like Oneness. Well, he was right in for that.
I said, "Now, here, I want to say something to you now." See? I said, "Now, I want to prove to you that these both men said the same thing. Now, Matthew said, `In the Name of the Father,' is that right? All right. And Peter said, `In the Name of the Lord.' Matthew 28:19 said, `In the Name of the Father,' and Acts 2:38 said, `In the Name of the Lord.'"
27-2 "David said, `The Lord said unto my Lord' Who was it? Father and Lord is the same thing. David said, `The Lord said unto my Lord, set thou on my right hand.' See? In the Name of the Father--in the Name of the Lord. And Matthew said, `In the Name of the Son,' and Peter said, `In the Name of Jesus.' Who is the Son? Jesus. `In the Name of the Holy Ghost' was Matthew, and Peter said, `In the Name of Christ' the Logos. Father, Son, Holy Ghost: Lord Jesus Christ. Why, it's just as perfect as it can be." See?
QA.ON.THE.SEALS JEFF.IN 63-0324M
484-2 {174} So, as far as the trinitarian's theory of being three different gods, that's heathenism. That never was taught in the Bible. It never was taught in the Lion message, but it was adopted in the next, which was antichrist. Ask anybody you want to, any theologian. That never did come only through the doctrine of the Nicolaitane.
There is why it come out with Martin Luther. That's why it continued on with John Wesley and poured on down into the Pentecostals. In the day that the Pentecostal come out, they got the Jesus Only group. Now, that's wrong again. How can Jesus be His own Father? See? So it knocks that out.
484-4 {176} But there's supposed to be an Eagle time come. See? That's the time it's to straighten all those mysteries out. See? Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is titles of the Lord Jesus Christ (Watch), all three of them.
Matthew said, "Father, Son, Holy Ghost..."
Peter said, "Lord Jesus Christ..." Who is the Father? "The Lord said unto my Lord, `Set thou on My right hand.'" Is that right? Father, Son--Jesus, Holy Ghost--the Logos that went out of God. Father, Son, Holy Ghost is absolutely three titles of the Person of God manifested in--in--in three different ways or three attributes of Himself.
And to make it plain to someone who wouldn't understand, it's like three offices of the same God. Actually, it's three attributes of the same God, God acting in three different... Under the Fatherhood, under the Sonship, under the Holy Ghost dispensation... God is perfect in three.
MANIFESTED.SONS.OF.GOD JEFF.IN AD.2 60-0518
84 Now, you trinitarian brethren, I'm not wanting to hurt you, but how in the name of the good Word of God could you ever place Jesus being a separate person from God Himself? If Jesus could take another person and make Him go and die to redeem this person here, He would be an unjust being. There's only one way that God could ever do it, would be take the place Himself. And God became flesh that He might taste the pains of death, to take the sting and death away from us, that we might be redeemed by His own. That's why He will be so worshipped. Jesus was a man, sure He was. He was a man, m-a-n, borned in the virgin Mary. But the Spirit that was in Him was God without measure. In Him dwelled the fulness of the Godhead bodily. He was Jehovah-Jireh; He was Jehovah-Rapha; He was Jehovah-Manasses; He was Jehovah, our Shield, our Buckler, our Healer; He was Alpha, Omega, the Beginning and the End; He was the First, the Last; He Was, Which Is, and Shall Come; the Root and Offspring of David, the Morning Star, why, He was All-in-all. In Him dwelt the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
21-6 REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK.CPT.1
Now there is a very favorite portion of Scripture that the trinitarians think prove their point of more than one actual Person in the Godhead. It is Revelation 5:6-8, "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as It had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him That sat upon the throne. And when He had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints". Indeed these verses, if isolated, would seem to prove their point. You notice, I said, these ISOLATED verses. However, read Revelation 4:2-3 and 9-11, "And immediately I was in the Spirit: and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and ONE sat on the throne. And He That sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to Him That sat on the throne, Who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before Him That sat on the throne, and worship Him That liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created." Carefully note in verse two it says, "ONE" (not two or three but ONE) sat on the throne. In verse three it says, "HE" (NOT they) was to look upon as a jasper stone. In verse nine it says that the beasts gave honour to "HIM" (not them). In verse ten it says that the elders fell down before "HIM" (not them). In verse eleven it says that they cried, Thou art worthy O LORD" (not Lords). Also in verse eleven it says this ONE on the throne was the "Creator", Which is Jesus (John 1:3), Which is Jehovah-Spirit-God of the Old Testament (Genesis 1:1).

161 He was the Rock that was in the wilderness. He was the Manna that was in the wilderness. He was the Shewbread in the temple. Oh, He was the Waters in Jordan. Glory. He was the Alpha, the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. It was He that Was, Which Is, and Shall Come. He was before there was a world; He will be when there is no world; the Root and Offspring of David, the Morning Star, the Lily of the Valley, and the Rose of Sharon (Hallelujah.), both Root and Offspring of David (Hallelujah); before David, in David, and after David. Glory.
I believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ. He was more than a Prophet. He was more than a good Man. He was God inveiled in flesh: God in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. That's Who He was. We'll get into that in a few nights, Who He was. That's the reason you can't have faith, 'cause you don't know Who He was.
164 "Why," they said, "You say that you saw Abraham, and you're not fifty years old yet." The Man wasn't but thirty. He was weary, and His services had drawed Him down. He said, "You're not a man over fifty years old, and you say you've seen Abraham who's been dead for eight or nine hundred years?"
Listen. He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM. (Hallelujah.) I am Jehovah." He's Jehovah-manasses. He's Jehovah-rapha. He's, oh, and all the redemptive Names of Jehovah was in Him, and in Him dwells the fulness of the Godhead bodily; there He is.
166 "I've come down to deliver them. I'm declaring My Name. Tell them that'll be a memorial through all generations, that I AM THE I AM. Not the `I was' or `I will be.' I AM." The same God was there that night is here tonight.
Jehovah-Jireh, “the Lord will provide”
an offering; Christ, Himself, the Sacrifice on Calvary.
Jehovah-Rapha, “the Lord that healeth thee,”
“Himself took our infirmities and bare our sickness”
Jehovah-Nissi, “the Lord our Banner,” or Victor,
spoiling principalities and powers on the cross.
Jehovah-Shalom, “the Lord is our Peace,”
“the chastisement of our peace was upon Him.”
Jehovah-Ra-ah, “the Lord is my Shepherd,”
He gave His Life for the sheep.
Jehovah-Tsidkenu, “the Lord our righteousness,” He bore our sins, opening the way
for the sinner to receive the gift of righteousness.
Jehovah-Shammah, “the Lord is present,”
“our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

And--and all the other, seven compound Names, was all in Christ Jesus. And there's where all the types and the shadows of the Old Testament, all come and met in Jesus Christ.

You can't separate God and put Him in parts. God is one. And we can't make parts out of God.

For, all seven compound names, 'our victory,' 'our banner,' and 'our shield,' and 'our buckler,' and 'Our healing,' and 'our salvation,' 'our provided sacrifice,' all laid in Him! And when He died at Calvary, He spoiled principalities; raised up, throwed His hands up, said, 'It's finished!' Hallelujah! Devils trembled, hell shook; it's a type for every day. And He rose up on Easter morning, 'I am He that was dead and is alive again.' There He is, Jehovah-rapha, Jehovah-manasseh. Jehovah-jireh, 'God's provided sacrifice.'"

He's Jehovah-rapha, the Lord that healeth all thy diseases. He's Jehovah-manasses, Jehovah the--our buckler, our shield, our peace. Seven, compound redemptive Names... And those compound, redemptive Names are inseparable. They are part of God. God is represented in those seven redemptive Name. The whole plan of redemption lays in those Names.
SEVEN.COMPOUND.NAMES.OF.JEHOVAH CHICAGO.IL 55-0120

Now, Jehovah-jireh, will provide. Jehovah, the Provider, is present. You get what I mean? If He is the Lord's provided sacrifice, then He's got to be the Lord God present in the time of help, need. See what I mean?
Now, if He is here tonight to save everybody from sin, He's got to be present tonight to fulfill the rest of these redemptive names. He's Jehovah-jireh, and Jehovah-rapha, Jehovah our... He's Jehovah our provided Sacrifice, our Healer, our Banner, our Peace, our Shepherd, our Righteousness, and His Presence. He's got to be all that right now.

203 God's got many titles: Jehovah, Jehovah-Jireh, Rapha, manasses, oh, many. He's got seven compound redemptive Names. He's got many titles: Rose of Sharon, Lily of the Valley, Morning Star, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, all that; but He's got one human Name. God only had one Name, and that was the Lord Jesus Christ.
GOD'S.CHOSEN.PLACE.WORSHIP JEFF.IN V-5 N-7 65-0220
41 What is His Name first? We'll have to name--find what God's Name is before we can find what it is He's putting in the place. Now, we find out that He had many titles. He's called the--He was called "Father," which is a title; and He was called "Son," which is a title; He was called "Holy Ghost," which is a title; He's called "Rose of Sharon," which is a title: "Lily of the Valley," a title; "Morning Star," "Jehovah-jireh," "Jehovah-rapha," seven different compound redemptive names, but all of them were titles! None of them were names. But He has a Name. When He met Moses He had not a Name yet, and He told Moses, "I AM THAT I AM." And when we see Jesus on earth, speaking in Hebrews the 6th chapter, I beg your pardon, St. John the 6th chapter, He said, "I AM THAT I AM." They said, "Why, you're a man not over fifty years old and say that you seen Abraham?"
He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." And I AM was the One--the burning bush--the Pillar of Fire that was in the burning bush back in the days of Moses, the I AM THE I AM.
44 And now we find out that Jesus said also, "I came in My Father's Name, and you received Me not." Then the Name of the Father must be Jesus. That's right. The Name of the Father is Jesus, 'cause Jesus said to them, "I carry My Father's Name. I come in My Father's Name, and you received Me not." Then His Name was Jesus, and Gabriel called Him Jesus, the prophets called Him Jesus, and He was absolutely Jesus. Before His birth even the holy prophet called His Name Emmanuel, which is "God with us." Then God was manifested in the flesh in order to take away the sin of the world, and in doing so, He was given the Name of Jesus. So Jesus is the Name!
And the Name was placed in a Man, not a church, not a denomination, not a creed, but a Man. He chose to place His Name in Jesus Christ. Now, we find out that then He becomes the place of God's worship, where you worship Him. Ever before that He was even born, His Name was called Jesus. It was so important it was give to His mother by the Angel Gabriel, that His Name would be called Jesus, Son of God, what He was.
There, we have it then. This is it alone. It is for Him alone. God's chosen place of worship.
JEHOVAH.JIREH.2 LOUISVILLE.MS 64-0403
E-42 Now, God has seven compound redemptive Names. We know that. And you cannot separate them from Christ. You can't separate them. Christ met every one of those compound redemptive Names.

19-4 REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK.CPT.1
I Timothy 3:16 says, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into Glory". This is what the Bible says. It doesn't say a thing about a first or second or third person here. It says God was manifest in flesh. One God. That ONE GOD was manifested in flesh. That ought to settle it. God came in a human form. That didn't make Him ANOTHER GOD. HE WAS GOD, THE SAME GOD. It was a revelation then, and it is a revelation now. One God. Let's go back in the Bible and see what He was in the beginning according to the revelation He gave of Himself. The great Jehovah appeared to Israel in a pillar of fire. As the Angel of the Covenant He lived in that pillar of fire and led Israel daily. At the temple He announced His coming with a great cloud. Then one day He was manifested in a virgin born body that was prepared for Him. The God that tabernacled above the tents of Israel now took on Himself a tent of flesh and tabernacled as a man amongst men. But He was the SAME GOD.
The Bible teaches that GOD WAS IN CHRIST. The BODY was Jesus. In Him dwelt all the fulness of the Godhead, BODILY. Nothing can be plainer than that. Mystery, yes. But actual truth--it can't be plainer. So if He wasn't three people then, He can't be three now. ONE GOD: And this same God was made flesh.

E-17 And the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ that has descended upon the Church to continue the works of the Lord Jesus in His going away. It is to give the Gospel Light in a lesser Light than it was when Christ was here. Like the moon and the sun, the moon comes up to give a light in the absence of the sun, until it can rise again. Then the moon goes out. And the sun is such a brighter light that it puts out the moonlight. But what is the moonlight? It's a reflection of the sun on the moon. And that is like Christ. When He was here, He was the Light of the world. He went away and shining back on His Church to reflect His Light into this world today for a Light to walk in until He returns, and then all in all will be given unto Him. And He will sit on the throne of King David and reign forever and forever.

See, they're getting ready for a wedding, and they--they become one. The Word becomes you; you become the Word. Jesus said, "At That day you know that all the Father is, I am; and all I am, you are; and all you are, I am. In that day you'll know that I'm in the Father, Father in Me, I in you, and you in Me."

1046-237 On top of Mount Zion will set the Lamb. And the city will need no light, for the Lamb is the Light thereof. And above the Lamb will be the Father, which is the Logos, God, the great Light, the eternal Light that'll shine just above the throne. And Jesus will not be on His Father's throne, He'll be on His throne. And the Father will hover over the Son, which the Father and Son will be One. "And while they are yet speaking, I'll answer. Before they can think, I'm thinking for them." That's right. And Jesus will commit a perfect, perfect age to a--the perfect living God, that He has redeemed and give over to the Father. Is that right? Will turn to God the Father which is Spirit, not a man, Spirit. All nature of goodness gathered together, that's God. And in goodness... Now, anything perverted from good is evil; that's Satan's kingdom. All good belongs to God. All evil belongs... And then God became material in a Man called Jesus Christ which was His Son. This Son gave His Life that He might bring other sons, that God might become tangible, working in all in all. "In that day you'll know that I'm in the Father, the Father in Me, I in you and you in Me."
FUTURE.HOME JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 64-0802

All of this earth (this earth here we live in now) every one, whether it be Christian or pagan, has temples. Did you ever think of that? Churches, all of them. But this one doesn't have any. The Bible says, "And there was no temple there, but the Lord God and the Lamb is the Temple of it." The Lamb is the Light; the Lion is the Temple; the Lamb is the throne; the Lamb is the Life. He is that Temple.
See, all these temples have a object they're worshipping, but in this City He is the object. He's with His people.
60-3 His Spirit-Light floods the pyramid City. Like Peter and John up on top of the mountain, the Light covered the top of the mountain, and a Voice spoke, said, "This is My beloved Son." In Revelations 21:3-4, "The tabernacle of God is with men." God has tabernacled in man by redeeming him…

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together. The lion shall eat straw like a bullock. They shall feed together and lay down. They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain." Right back exactly to Eden again…
PROVING.HIS.WORD L.A.CA V-18 N-3 65-0426
126 As I said the other night, He come in three names; the name of the Son of God, Son of man, and Son of David. When He was on earth here, the first time, He was the Son of man. He could not be Son of God then; He never claimed to be. He said He was "Son of man." When anybody would question Him, He said, "You see the Son of man; the Son of man."
Now, "Son of man" is a prophet. He had to come that way, because, the Scripture, He cannot come contrary to the Scripture. That's why, today, that our--our Message of this hour cannot come through theologians and theology, it's got to come back to the same thing it promised to do. It must be that way. So we find that, in this Man, He had to be a prophet. Not Son of God there, He had to be Son of man. Jehovah Himself called the prophets, Jeremiah and them, "Son of man." "When you see the Son of man..." "Who is the Son of man?" they kept asking. Then, He served His office as Son of man. Then He served His office now as Son of God. God is a Spirit, and when now He served through the church Ages, as Son of God. Now, in the Millennium, He'll be Son of David, when He sits on the throne of David. He'll be heir to the throne, Son of David. Son of man, Son of God, Son of David, and it's the same Man all the time.
Just like Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; the office of God. He was God the Father, then He became God the Son, now He is God the Holy Ghost. Not three Gods; one God, three manifestation, three attributes of the same God.
DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND L.A.CA V-18 N-4 65-0427
169 Now, Jesus came in three names. Son of man, which is a prophet; Son of God, which went through the church age; then Son of David. But in between the Son of God and Son of David, according to His Own Word, and according to Malachi 4 and many Scriptures, He's to return back into His church, in physical form, in the people, in a... in human beings, in the way of being a prophet.
DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND L.A.CA V-18 N-4 65-0427
175 …through the church age now, He has been Son of God. In the Millennium He'll be Son of David, sitting on David's throne. But between this time, we find out by the Scriptures, He is to reveal Himself again as Son of man, a prophet.
22-1 REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK.CPT.1
But let us not stop there. Read now in Revelation 3:21, "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne." Also read Hebrews 12:2, "Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Notice that according to Jesus, Himself, Who wrote the Revelation, He is set down WITH the Father.
The Spirit in Paul (Which Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, for That is the Spirit of Prophecy whereby the Word comes) says He is set down at the RIGHT HAND of God. But when John looked he saw only "ONE" upon the throne. And it was not until Revelation 5:6-8 (which follows Revelation 4:2-3 in sequence of time) that we see the "Lamb" taking the book from "HIM" That sat on the throne, as indicated in Revelation 4:2-3 and 9-10. What is it? It is the mystery of "ONE GOD." He (Jesus), came out from God, became manifested in flesh, died and rose again, and returned to the "Bosom of the Father." As John said, "The only begotten Son Which is IN the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him." John 1:18. It was now time for God (Messiah) to come back to claim His bride and then present Himself (make Himself known) to Israel. Thus we see God again stepping forth to assume a physical relationship to man as the "Son of David, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and Bridegroom of the Gentile Bride." It is NOT "Two" Gods, but simply ONE GOD manifesting His mighty triune offices and titles.

46 Now, we find He identified Himself as the Son of man here, now, to fulfill. Now, when He came on earth, remember, He identified Himself to the public outside; He identified Himself as Son of man. He came in three sons' name; He came as Son of man, Son of God, Son of David. Now, Son of man is a prophet. Even Jehovah Himself called Ezekiel, said, "Son of man." Jehovah, speaking to a man, prophet, called him Son of man. And Jesus identified Himself as Son of man, 'cause the Scriptures cannot be broken.
In Deuteronomy 18:15... Moses said, after the children of Israel said, "Don't let God speak anymore. We want Moses to speak to us."
He said, "I won't speak to them no more like that, but I will send them a prophet." In Deuteronomy 18:15, he said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet likened unto Me." And so that Scripture cannot be broken, He had to come as Son of man. Now, that was for His age, when He was here on earth.
50 Then when He died, rose, ascended, and sent back the Holy Spirit, that was the Son of God. God is a Spirit, and through the church age it's been Son of God. And then in the millennium, it's Son of David, setting on the throne, ruling. He has ascended up. "He that overcomes shall set with Me on My throne, as I have overcome, and set down on My Father's throne." He's setting on the Father's throne now. But in the millennium, He sets upon His Own throne, because He is the Son of David.
He's Son of man, Son of God, Son of David. See, it's just perfectly.

51-4 How you going to know what's right and wrong? Give it the Word test. That's the way to tell whether it's right or wrong. That's it; just--just give it the Word test. See what it says about the Word. Any spirit, see what it says about the Word. If it denies the Word, it's not of God. See? No matter what it is, if it denies the Word, it's not of God.
175-4 PERGANEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK.CPT.5
But what do we have in this our day? Multitudes are working signs until we have a generation of sign seekers that know little or nothing about the Word, or a true move of the Spirit of God. If they see blood, oil and fire they are happy; it matters not what is in the Word. They will support any sign, even unscriptural ones. But God has warned us about that. He said in Matthew 24 that in the last days the two spirits would be so close together that only the very elect could tell them apart, for they alone would not be deceived.
How can you tell the spirits apart? Just give them the Word test. If they don't speak that Word, they are of the evil one. As the evil one deceived the first two brides, he will try to deceive the bride of this last day, by trying to get her to hybridize herself through creeds, or just plainly turning from the Word to any sign that suits her. But God never placed signs ahead of the Word. Signs follow the Word, as when Elijah told the woman to bake a cake for him first, according to the Word of the Lord. When she did as the Word said, the proper sign came. Come to the Word first and then watch the miracle. The seed Word is energized by the Spirit. How can any messenger sent from God believe only a part of the Word and deny some of it? The true prophet of God in this last day will proclaim the whole Word. Denominations will hate him. His words may be as harsh as John the Baptist who called them vipers. But the predestinated will hear and be ready for the rapture. The Royal Seed of Abraham, with like faith as Abraham's will hold to the Word with him, for they are predestinated together.

Well, I believe that that man is sincere, like the brother that's setting here wanted to go back over his--trace back these things like that. If that man's elected of God, and he's ever brought before Truth, he'll--he'll recognize It. See, "My sheep know My Voice."
