LOCATING THE PLACEWHERE GOD’S PLAN IS TAKING PLACE

Today we want to begin reading in the Book of Daniel, and then goon to other scriptures as the Lord leads. The Word of God shows Danielwas taken to Babylon, and the Spirit of God began to move there in amighty way. Now when we think about the moving of God’s Spirit, weimmediately think that it would be in the land of Israel or some otherplace other than Babylon, because Babylon was a Gentile city that wor-shipped many pagan gods. However, there was a reason for God tochange the place where He was moving by His Spirit. This is writtenin the Book of Jeremiah 24:1-7, with Verse 5, saying, “Thus saith theLORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them thatare carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into theland of the Chaldeans for their good;” and with Verse 6, saying, “For I willset mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: andI will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluckthem up.” In other words, God was telling Daniel and the others thatkept His Word, “I am sending you to Babylon; but I will go with you todo you good while you are there. And I will bring you back to the landof Israel after seventy years.” (Jeremiah 25:11) One of the main pointsthat I want to make in this message is that God moves (or changes) theplace of His working to another place when people in that place do notwant Him any longer or He has accomplished His purpose in that cer-tain place.

So today, I want to take a thought and title it, Locating the Place WhereGod’s Plan is Taking Place. When we say, “God’s plan,” we are talkingabout specific workings of God that takes place at a specific time; andas we go along, we will see the different workings of God. Therefore,we want to deal here with how God moved from Jerusalem to Babylonwhen His people were taken there. Moreover, it was from Babylon,which came forth not only the Book of Daniel, but also the Book ofEzekiel, as God was moving there in a mighty way. It seemed that Godwas moving specifically in that part of the world. However, up untilthat time, God was moving in Israel; for Jerusalem was the place whereSolomon built the temple unto God. In addition, this is where the angelof the Lord would appear to different people, and where He raised upa shepherd boy named David and made him king over Israel. Davidwas mighty in battle and took all the land for Israel, and he gathered inthe materials to build the temple in Jerusalem. It was after King David’s

reign that his son Solomon became king and built the temple; and whenSolomon dedicated the temple, the glory of God came into it so muchthere in Jerusalem that the priests could not even minister. It becamecloudy within the temple as Solomon dedicated it, because God wasmoving there in such a tremendous way by His Spirit. Then later on,in the same place where God had moved in such a glorious way, thissame temple was destroyed as Israel sinned against God. The childrenof Israel were taken into captivity into Babylon and the land of Israelbecame a howling and desolate wasteland. Nevertheless, God did notforsake His chosen ones, those that loved God and stood true to Him,for He just moved right to Babylon with them, and began to work withthem in Babylon. Then after God chastised His people for sinningagainst Him, some of them left Babylon and went back to Jerusalem,and God began to move again in Israel as they rebuilt the wall and thetemple. And there was joy in Jerusalem again!

So when we follow the moving of God’s Spirit all the way up to thetime that Jesus was born and raised, we find that in and aroundJerusalem the Spirit of God was with them. And after His crucifixionand resurrection, here we see the Spirit of God moving on to the greatday of Pentecost at Jerusalem. God began to move in that specific areaof Jerusalem; and by that time, Babylon was no longer in the picture.And as far as God’s Spirit moving anymore in Babylon for good, it isunheard of. Now in this day, Babylon is seen as an example of all falsereligion. The wife of the Lamb sees this, as the whole religious systemis as it was in Israel when Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem; fornow the whole religious world is a howling and desolate wasteland, ledby the spirit of iniquity in the name of Christianity. (Revelation 18:1-4)

Now I want you to notice as we read today, the Spirit of God movedin that particular area in the time that Daniel was in Babylon. And be-cause God wanted Daniel to be honored in Babylon, He gave King Neb-uchadnezzar a dream that troubled him; but he could not rememberwhat the dream was about. This was the way God began to work inBabylon in order to show His plan for mankind, to show His working,and to honor his servant in this land of false gods. So when the king’swise men could not tell the king what he had dreamed, this opened thedoor for God to show Daniel what the king had dreamed and to tellhim the interpretation thereof. Therefore, Daniel showed the king theanswer; and the king honored Daniel with great honor. This beganGod’s great move in Babylon.

At this time, God began using His angels, including Gabriel andMichael. And Christ was also in Babylon, being manifested in that timeperiod. We can see the working of God was congealed right there in that

area of Babylon, because God had some of His chosen people there.God also revealed to Daniel what was going to happen to His peopleIsrael, as well as the whole Gentile world, from that time all the wayinto the millennium. We are not going to get into all of that today; butyou can read about it in depth in the Book of Daniel, and also in ourbook entitled, The Interpreted Book of Revelation. So we see that whenGod got ready to move in a certain place, the power of God began tomove in that particular area. And by seeing this, it helps us to recognizethe place where God is moving in our day. So let us pray before read-ing.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the moving of your Spirit in that specialway by the Christ anointing. Lord, we have your Word open before us, andanytime we open the Word, we realize it is sacred Word, and it is a sacred time.Because the Word, when it is anointed by thy Spirit, becomes the tree of life,the life-giving source, and it always comes to pass. Father, we pray that youwill help us to minister your Word. And I thank you for the anointing to sayit, to preach it, in a way that it will benefit us here at the end time. I thank youfor not only the written Word, but also for your spoken Word that is now com-ing forth for the glory of God. We praise you for this, in the name of our LordJesus Christ. Amen.

So our scripture reading begins in Daniel, Chapter 9, starting withVerses 20-24; and as we read this scripture, remember this is not inJerusalem, but this is in a Gentile city, in Babylon. This is one of theplaces that God prophesied against through prophets of old, letting usknow that many bad things happened there. Even in the Book of Rev-elation, it shows two cities—spiritual Babylon and spiritual Jerusalem.Spiritual and natural Babylon is the city where all false religion pre-ceded from, and spiritual and natural Jerusalem is the city of the livingGod, and is the place where our salvation had its beginning. However,in Daniel’s time, God was moving temporarily in Babylon. God sentHis people there because they were disobedient to Him. God let KingNebuchadnezzar march in and destroy the city of Jerusalem, and manywere taken captive into Babylon, because of their disobedience. Butonce they got into Babylon, God began to use Daniel and some othersthat did not forsake Him. Yes, there were a faithful few that continuedto serve Him, even in the wickedness of Babylon.

Therefore, now that God’s people were in Babylon and were not underthe backsliding king of Jerusalem, God began to reveal His plan toDaniel. Daniel 9:20 says, “And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and con-fessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplicationbefore the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;” Now I wantyou to notice, this shows ‘repentance,’ confessing his sin. Watch what

happens. Verse 21, “Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the manGabriel, (Gabriel is God’s messenger. Daniel called Gabriel the manGabriel; this was the first time Gabriel was called by his name.) whom Ihad seen in the vision at the beginning (Chapter 8), being caused to fly swiftly,touched me about the time of the evening oblation.” We see here that Godwas moving, and He was moving here more than anywhere else in theworld by His signs and His wonders.

In Daniel, Chapter 3, we see, for example, the three Hebrew children(Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego), who were thrown into a fiery fur-nace. Remember that this was in Babylon. God delivered them fromthe fire and certain death; not even their clothes were singed. Then inDaniel, Chapter 6, Daniel was thrown into a lion’s den, which was inBabylon, also. But God delivered him; for the lions did not harm him.Afterwards, the king of Babylon, who did not sleep that night; cameearly in the morning and said, “O Daniel, O Daniel, has your God con-tinued to deliver you?” Do you know what Daniel said? “Live forever,O king!” He had slept soundly, and may have been using one of thelions for his pillow. Well, Daniel came out. And the men that hadtricked the king into having Daniel thrown into the lion’s den, werethemselves thrown into the lion’s den by the king. And before theycould hit the bottom of the pit, the lions leaped on them, broke theirbones, and ate them! If God be for you, who can be against you? Weare winners! We just need to know what He said in the Word of Godthat He would do, how He said He would do these things; and it alwaysworks. And as always, a promise made is a promise kept. So Babylonwas the place where God was moving at that particular time; and it wascoming straight from the throne of God to his people in Babylon, a Gen-tile heathen country. Yes, God had some people there that He had sentthere for a purpose. God was working there and visions began to begiven and angels began to show themselves.

Notice Verse 21, “even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision atthe beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of theevening oblation.” Verse 22, “And he informed me, and talked with me, andsaid, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.” Itis amazing that God had to get him over into Babylon to do this. But inJerusalem at that time, the king and the people around him did not re-spect or serve God, and that was why Jerusalem was destroyed, and thetemple was destroyed, and most of the people were taken to Babylon.But in spite of the fact that the king and many of the people turned fromGod, there was that small element of people (the ‘even so then’ remnant)that loved God and wanted to do what was right. (I preached a messagerecently entitled, The Even So Then Remnant, showing that God will al-

15LOCATING THE PLACE WHERE GOD’S PLAN IS TAKING PLACE

ways have a remnant that will believe His Word.) So when they weretaken to Babylon, even in this strange land there was a remnant thatwanted to do what was right in the eyes of God. Among this remnantwas Daniel, who served God, whom God gave great understanding;and there was also Ezekiel and some other saints of God. God’s Spiritcongealed in that area to accomplish His purpose. And now in this day,we see the gospel angel has returned back to Jerusalem as shown inRevelation, Chapter 7. This has created the proper atmosphere for thisgospel that God has given to get the remnant of the wife for His Sonfrom those that He has kept for this gospel, the trumpet message, whichis exclusively for the wife in Israel, who upon accepting this trumpetmessage is neither Jew nor Gentile. Here I want to make clear that whendealing with the wife of the Lamb in Israel, we are keeping in mind thefact that two prophets (shown in Revelation, Chapter 11) will come onthe scene in Israel at the beginning of the 70th Week of Daniel (which isa seven year period). The two prophets will prophesy to the naturalnation of Israel and will rebuke the nation for rejecting the prophets’Word, while 144,000 Jews are called to preach the everlasting gospel tothe world in the last half of this seven year period of time, shown inRevelation, Chapters 7, 14, and 18, after the rapture of the wife.

Now notice again the title of my message, Locating the Place WhereGod’s Plan is Taking Place. So God’s plan was taking place in a certainarea; and there is where we see the Spirit of God moving and we seethings being accomplished. And it is the same today, in the place thatGod has chosen. And now He has chosen the land of Israel.

Again, Daniel, Chapter 9, Verse 22, “And he informed me, and talked withme, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understand-ing.” That is the only way that we will get spiritual skill and under-standing. If God gives something, He will give us skill andunderstanding of how to present it to the wife of His Son. That is whatHe did with Daniel for his people. Verse 23 says, “At the beginning ofthy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee;for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider thevision.” This goes along with the vision I had around the beginning ofthe year of 2011, just before the protesting broke out in a major waythere in Egypt, which is written in our book entitled, Now That Which Isto Be Done Will Now Be Done. In the vision, I saw an angelic being thatwas dressed in a military type garment, who I perceived to be Michael.And as he was passing by me, I wanted to talk to him and find out whatwas going on, what this was about. But something came into my heart,“Just leave him alone; he has a job to do.” Therefore, I did not say aword. He walked by me and I knew He was going to the Middle East,

heading straight for Jerusalem where God has moved His working tobring all things to an end. And a voice said within me, “Now that whichis to be done will now be done.” And within a few days after that, webegan to see all the wars and the trouble in those Middle East nations,leading to all the upheavals that are now taking place. What it is, Godis softening those nations up for that war against Israel, because Israelis going to march through and take all the land that God gave to Abra-ham. God is moving, and we recognize the move of God, and we seethese things taking place as God is once again fulfilling His plan inIsrael; for the place where God is working has moved again to that partof the world.

Yes, Israel is going to take back all her land; and they are going to beestablished in all their land. That is why God’s Spirit has moved in thatdirection, as also the gospel angel of time has journeyed around theearth through the Gentile nations, but is now seen in Revelation, Chap-ter 7, coming back to Israel after the gospel has gone around the globein the church ages. But what I want to show in this message is thereare those that are fulfilling God’s plan that are not a part of getting backthe natural land, but have been moved into spiritual Jerusalem and arebaptized into the fullness of Christ. They are no longer Jews nor Gen-tiles (Galatians 3:27-29), but have become a part of Christ, the wife ofGod’s Son.

God’s plan has gone back into Israel. Therefore, the Spirit of God hasbegun to congeal there. Now there will be many things happeningthere; and already we are seeing some of these things coming to pass.And these things are not only in the natural realm, but also in the spir-itual realm, as God’s warring angel, Michael, is there now doing his job.We see this in Daniel, Chapter 12, and in Revelation, Chapter 12, whereMichael and his angels are fighting the angels of the devil, and they willbe cast out of the heavenly realm into the earth as Michael and his an-gels prevail. Michael is the warrior angel and is fighting for Israel, whilethe angel, Gabriel, is God’s message bringer.

Now our concerns are answered as to where God is working at thisparticular time, which is in Israel, even as we know where it was hap-pening in Daniel’s day. God was working in Babylon, where His peoplewere being held (while at the same time God was also punishing Israelfor their sins). Even in this wicked place of Babylon, there was a groupof Jews there that really began to pray, and God answered their prayers.Now Daniel began to fast, and God began to move; and then the angel,Gabriel, came and gave him perfect understanding of God’s plan.

Again, Daniel 9:23, says, “At the beginning of thy supplications the com-mandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved:

Page 18: BEN HOWARD - Amazon S3 · OTHER BOOKS BY BEN HOWARD.....239 AUDIO AND VIDEO SERMONS—1967-2018.....251. THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME 7 This Testimony is a Witness

17LOCATING THE PLACE WHERE GOD’S PLAN IS TAKING PLACE

therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.” Understand thematter. You are greatly loved. Can you imagine how that must havemade Daniel feel? ‘You are greatly loved,’ even though he was downin a strange country, and he was among heathens, and he was there be-cause God was punishing Israel. And Daniel was told that Israel wouldbe in Babylon for seventy years; for the prophet Jeremiah had prophe-sied and told them how long they would be there even before they weretaken to Babylon. But God went to Babylon with His people; and theSpirit of God moved in that area, because there were certain things thatGod wanted to show to them that He would do, even what would hap-pen to the Gentile nations, as well as with Israel, all the way to this lastday.

Now here in Verse 24, God is going to give Daniel perfect understand-ing as He reveals to him six things that will be accomplished in theseseventy weeks. Verse 24 says, “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy peo-ple and upon thy holy city, (1) to finish the transgression, (2) and to make anend of sins, (3) and to make reconciliation for iniquity, (4) and to bring in ever-lasting righteousness, (5) and to seal up the vision and prophecy, (6) and toanoint the most Holy.” The anointing of the most Holy is the last thingto be done as the 70th Week of Daniel comes to an end. So the mostholy place is where our Lord Jesus Christ will come with His wife inthat rebuilt temple, which soon shall be. But before our Lord Jesuscomes into this temple, the antichrist will go in and sit there and defilethe holy place. But God will take care of the cleaning of that temple,and the antichrist will be cast out.

So these are things God wants to show us. Now He was not workingin Jerusalem, because in the time of Daniel, Jerusalem laid in waste.Notice, when God’s people were taken to Babylon, God moved Hisworking there. Now here at this end time, the moving of God’s Spirithas turned back to the land of Israel, and has left this religious Gentileworld a habitation of devils and the cage of every unclean and hatefulbird. (Revelation, Chapter 18)

Now it is becoming clear what happened in Daniel’s day as the Wordof God says that Jerusalem would be a howling wasteland during thetime that God was working in Babylon; but it would only be that waywhile God was working in Babylon with His people Israel. This showsus that when God is working in a certain area, the angels will come, theSpirit will come, and this means the Christ anointing came. Everythingwas brought to Babylon. That is why Daniel saw in Babylon a certainman clothed in linen by the river, which was Christ in that form, longbefore Jesus was born.

Therefore, in Babylon, we see Michael, Gabriel, and Christ (whom John

saw in the form of a Mighty Angel in Revelation, Chapter 10; while inother places of the New Testament we see this anointing is calledChrist). So when Daniel was in the Spirit (in Daniel, Chapter 10), hesaw a certain man clothed in linen, and Verse 6 shows this man is likeunto the one that John saw in Revelation, Chapters One through Three,which was a pictorial scene of Christ Jesus as a High Priest walkingamongst the seven candlesticks (seven church ages). The same Christthat came down to earth as a Mighty Angel shown in Revelation, Chap-ter 10, is the same one that Daniel saw in Daniel, Chapter 10, but Hewas in another form. So we see in Daniel’s time, both Michael andGabriel were on the scene with Christ.

Now when the Apostle Paul spoke of and prophesied about the full-ness of the spiritual coming of Christ, he tells us how it would takeplace. It is clearly understood by the wife of the Lamb in this day thatthe prophecy of the fullness of the coming of Christ did not and couldnot take place with a fallen virgin under the first leg of the spiritualcoming of the Lord, which came in the form of the Holy Ghost. Al-though Paul prophesied about this, he did not live to see its fullness.The fallen virgin could only read about it and hope for His coming. Inthe Book of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Paul said, “For the Lord himself shalldescend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and withthe trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which arealive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meetthe Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” There are threestages here of His spiritual coming; the shout, the voice of the archangel,and the trump of God. And it is in the trump of God stage that thosewho are part of the wife, who went to the grave, receive their Wordbody; and together with the living part of the wife, who are changed,shall be physically caught up to be with our Lord Jesus. Also, Paul in-formed us that as we heard the trumpet sound, that the time for beingbaptized for the dead was over; for there is another baptism into thefullness of Christ where there is no death, as we are now the body ofChrist, the wife. We are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh.

So in Paul’s writings, he did not give any further details about theprophecy of the spiritual coming of Christ; because God knew that thefallen virgin could not claim these promises of overcoming physicaldeath in the church ages. Therefore, Paul’s prophecy about overcomingphysical death was sealed away in the Book of Redemption, shown inRevelation, Chapter 5, and was taken to heaven as God took Paul home.This prophecy was seen no more until we got to Revelation, Chapter10, and it is seen there as the little book which was sealed away in theBook of Redemption with seven seals until this last day. God anointed

John to write the Book of Revelation as a prophetic book. This tookplace after Paul left off prophesying about the coming of Christ in Hisfullness, which is the second leg of the spiritual coming of the fullnessof Christ that came in the form of the Mighty Angel. The Word is show-ing here that we would be married, which has now taken place. Andwe are now going forth giving witness concerning our marriage. (Eph-esians 4:13-16, Ephesians 5:30-32, and Revelation 19:7-8) We have be-come Christ the wife of the Lamb; and this testimony is going forth fromthe heart of God in the books entitled, The Voice of Authorization, ChristCame As a Thief in the Night and Is Visible as the Wife of the Lamb, Now ThatWhich Is To Be Done Will Now Be Done, Christ the Wife: A People Without aCountry, A Seamless Transition, The Wife’s Covenant, The Chronicles of theTenth Chapter of the Book of Revelation and the Eating of a Bitter Meal, TheGospel for the Wife in Israel, Crowned with the Perfect Man’s Revelation, andThe Gospel According to the Wife of the Lamb, which are some of the mainbooks that deals with us, the wife of the Lamb.

So now, we are clothed in the full light of the revelation of the Wordof God, and we see how Satan, who was once anointed of God to do ajob before he sinned against God and fell from his high position and be-came Satan, leads the so-called Christian churches. Before this, hisname was Lucifer, which means the daystar, the morning star, the lightbringer; and he was perfect in his ways. He was at the very beginningof God’s creation—the dawn of creation. But he fell and lost his positionand lost his anointing; then he was given that awful name Satan, mean-ing God’s enemy. That is when he organized an uprising against God;and this iniquity that his fallen spirit created, got among the other angelsand many of them began to go over to his side. And, yes, he was quitesuccessful in leading many other angels away from God. But there wasMichael and Gabriel, as well as other angels, which stayed faithful toGod and would not move from the place God ordained for them.

We bring all this to show that Lucifer formulated his fallen spirit in away that the spirit of iniquity was born. He at one time was ‘theanointed Cherub;’ that was before he fell. Afterwards, Lucifer was nota part of God’s family of angels anymore. This uprising would havebeen an even more devastating event if it had not been for Michael andGabriel telling the other angels to stay true to God and reject what Lu-cifer, along with his deceived followers, were saying. Michael andGabriel worked closely together to continue to carry out God’s plan,with God anointing Michael as a warrior angel, while Gabriel remainedthe message carrier as his primary job; for God created him for this pur-pose, and he is still that today. He is the one that brings messages fromthe throne of God. We see that when he came to Mary, a virgin, bringing

news about the birth of God’s Son, Jesus. Also, Gabriel, Michael, andother angels were all part of the spiritual coming of the Lord; causing aspiritual cloud to form around the Christ that God sent to this earth inthe form of a Mighty Angel with an opened book in His hand—for theLord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voiceof the archangel, and with the trump of God. And now here is thistrump of God message, with an anointing to declare it by the wife ofthe Lamb. This is clearly seen in 1Corinthians 15:51-52 where Paul says,“I show you a mystery; the trumpet is going to sound, the dead aregoing to rise, and then we shall be changed in a moment, in the twin-kling of an eye.” This is the trumpet message that is sounding forthtoday as we, the wife, have picked up Paul’s prophetic utterance of over-coming physical death and are preaching it in another form as the wifeof the Lamb, and it is fulfilling itself right before our eyes. The Christwith Jesus’ attributes is here, and people have not even recognized it.Just like the two disciples on the way to Emmaus. They walked withJesus and talked with Him, and yet they did not recognize who He was.But when Jesus broke the bread, God let them see that it was Him,whom they were speaking of; for the Bible says, “Their eyes wereopened.”

Now watch. Locating the place, or recognizing the place where God’sSpirit is working. In the days of Daniel, it was in Babylon, not inJerusalem. They might have said, “I want to go to Jerusalem; that iswhere God is at.” No, the only thing they would find in Jerusalem atthat time was a pile of stones, a temple burned, and animals runningall over the place. For about seventy long years, Jerusalem laid a howl-ing wasteland. Then, the time came for God to begin to move again.Ezra, Nehemiah, Hezekiah, and many others tell about going backhome to Jerusalem. They said, “Let us build a wall and build backJerusalem.” But there were those that said, “Even that which they build,if a fox runs over it, it will fall.” (Nehemiah, Chapter 4) See, locatingwhere God is working; therefore, we know what to expect, we knowwhat to believe for, and we know where we stand.

Now let us go on to Daniel, Chapter 10, starting with Verse 5. Danielsays, “Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothedin linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: His body also waslike the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lampsof fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voiceof his words like the voice of a multitude.” Here is the Christ of the Bible asseen by Daniel in his days in Babylon. Notice Daniel 8:16, “And I hearda man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, makethis man to understand the vision,” which showed Christ in the form of a

21LOCATING THE PLACE WHERE GOD’S PLAN IS TAKING PLACE

man, who called unto Gabriel with instructions to make Daniel to un-derstand what he was seeing. Christ was right there in Babylon, as wasGabriel and Michael. They are a winning team; and together, they areunbeatable!

Now, let us read just a little more. We will pick up with Verse 12; thisis Gabriel speaking to Daniel. “Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: forfrom the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chastenthyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.”Here Gabriel is telling Daniel, “I am here because of your words.” NowI want you to watch this. Sometimes when we are praying, just becauseour answer tarries and we do not get the answer as quickly as we thinkwe should, hold on. We might think, “Oh, my. I pray, and it seems likenothing happens.” Look here. Here was Daniel, a prophet of God,praying. And God sent a word, but God allowed it to be hindered, be-cause He wanted to teach patience, also. But watch as we read Verse13. “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twentydays:” Now watch this. He was withstood twenty-one days. (All of thiswas working out according to God’s plan, and here He is letting us seea little insight of what goes on in the world that we do not see with ournatural eyes.) Notice, Gabriel was withstood for twenty-one days, notbeing able to get to earth to bring his message to Daniel. But here cameMichael to help Gabriel. I love that! So we have Christ, Gabriel, andMichael there. And in Daniel 10:21, here is Gabriel talking, and we lis-ten in on an open microphone into the angel’s world as Gabriel says, “Ihave no one that stands with me like Michael does.”

Let us continue with Verse 13. “…but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes,came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.” He could notget through; he needed some help. So Michael came and helpedGabriel. Then in Verse 14 he says to Daniel, “Now I am come to make theeunderstand,” meaning Gabriel got back to earth—but it took Michael toclear the way for him.

Verse 14, again, “Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befallthy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.” Now watchthis, a messenger came. He did not come to fight; he came to bring amessage in which he tells about the 70th Week of Daniel and many otherthings. This was after Michael cleared the way for Gabriel to get themessage down to Daniel. So here is what the picture looks like: Thereis one in linen. Then there is Gabriel. And there is Michael. See, weare finding out where the working of God was taking place at that time.It is important. And we see that God was working things out there inBabylon, and God’s power was there to back them up and do what Heordained to be done at that time. Now in our day, God is getting things

22 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

done in Israel. Michael is already over there; he is doing a work forGod—and God’s Word will be fulfilled to the letter. So when you seethese nations fighting one another, do not worry about it. Scripture isbeing fulfilled, and these wars are only softening up the enemy to helpIsrael get their land back. God is softening that place up for the take-over by Israel, His natural people.

Now let us get Verses 18-21. It says, “Then there came again and touchedme one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, (Gabriel cameto Daniel in the appearance of a man.) And said, O man greatly beloved,fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. (He told him to bestrong twice.) And when he had spoken unto me, I (Daniel) was strength-ened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.” When Godtouches us, it strengthens us. Verse 20 says, “Then said he, Knowest thouwherefore I come unto thee?” (“Now have you understood why I came?”And may I ask, “Knowest thou why we are writing this book?”) Andnow will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth,lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.” He is telling Daniel that there is goingto be more fighting. I like this next verse; Verse 21. “But I will shew theethat which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth withme in these things, but Michael your prince.” Michael was Israel’s prince;there was no one else that could fight like Michael. Why? Because Godanointed him for that purpose. Notice, there were other angels here.There were great angels. And so, I like what Gabriel said, “There is noone that holds with me like Michael does. We are a team, and we willget the job done!”

Allow me to get to one more scripture; it is in Daniel, Chapter 12, start-ing with Verse One. “And at that time shall Michael stand up, (Thisprophecy has already began to come into being. Michael has alreadystood up.) the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people(Israel): and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there wasa nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered,every one that shall be found written in the book.” Notice, “Thy people aregoing to be delivered.” In other words, he is saying, “Israel is going intothe millennium; but there is much going to happen before this hap-pens.”

Now locating the place where God is working. What is He doing?What is the promise? Do you know the promise? There is a people tobe changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. There is a message.Let him that has eyes, see; and him that has ears, hear. This trumpet ofGod message sweeps out and sweeps up the wife of the Lamb into onebody, one message for both the Jews and the Gentiles, and as each oneis baptized into the fullness of Christ, they are no longer a Jew nor a

Gentile; they are wife, the wife of the Lamb. And that is what we seehappening right before our eyes. The trumpet is sounding!

Thank you, Lord, forhelping us to see what you are doing, and where you are working. Lord, weknow where your plan is taking place in this end time. Lord, we know by yourWord that the saints of old that are part of the wife are soon to be resurrected,and we that are living will soon be changed in a moment, in the twinkling ofan eye, to be raptured. We thank you, and we praise you for your revealedtruth in our day, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

25THE EVANGELISTICAL CALL OF THE WIFE OF THE LAMB

THE FIRST SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET WAS FOR THEESPOUSAL, AND THE SOUNDING OF THIS LAST

TRUMPET IS FOR THE MARRIAGE

A Distinction In Sound

Today I want to take a thought from the Book of 1 Corinthians, Chap-ter 14, and title it, The First Sounding of the Trumpet was for the Espousal,and the Sounding of this Last Trumpet is for the Marriage. In addition, Iwant to subtitle it, A Distinction in Sound.

Now at the first sounding of the trumpet, the Apostle Paul broughtforth his message that God gave him to espouse a virgin to the LordJesus Christ. Paul says in the Book of 2 Corinthians 11:2, “For I am jealousover you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that Imay present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” Notice, he said, “I have es-poused you to one husband,” and he prophesied about a marriage.However, before that marriage could take place, the virgin fell awayfrom the Word that was introduced to her by Paul. And that is as far asPaul brought them, as he only laid the foundation for the wife of theLamb. Then God showed John ‘the Lamb’s wife’ in a vision while hewas in prison on the Isle of Patmos; for he wrote prophetic Word in theBook of Revelation 19:7-8, “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour tohim: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean andwhite: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” So John saw Paul’smessage of ‘I have espoused you to one husband’ take another step,which was by the sounding of this last trumpet of God. That is this mes-sage that has by proxy married us in this hour to God’s own Son, whois now our Husband. Yes, Paul laid the foundation for this. Then hesaid, “There is another that buildeth thereon.” Showing us that therewas something else coming to build the house. That is the point of it.And he says in the scripture, “If the trumpet gives an uncertain sound,how can we know what to do?” So before we go any further, let us havea word of prayer.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your love and goodness and for the greatgrace that you have put upon us. We thank you for being with us in that specialway—in the anointing that it takes to bring forth the Word as you would haveit to be brought forth. Lord, I pray that each one that you have ordained to hearthis Word will receive this anointing that I am speaking by—that we will allreceive from thy bountiful hands. We praise you for this, in the precious nameof our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

26 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

Now I want to begin reading in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 14, startingwith Verse 6. It says, “Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking withtongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation,or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?” The Word is sayinghere, “We can edify only if what is being said is understandable.” Verse7 says, “And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, ex-cept they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is pipedor harped?” Whatever tune is being played, it must make a certain soundthat we can understand. It is like when someone is playing the songAmazing Grace on a guitar or a piano; you can tell what song they areplaying and where they are at in playing in the song, because you areperceiving by a distinction in sound—you have heard that song before.So if they were just randomly hitting notes on a piano or a guitar, ratherthan playing a familiar song, then there would be no distinction in thesound, and it would make no sense to you. But when you come in andhear someone playing an instrument and you know the song, you canpick up where they are playing and start singing or playing along.

Now this is the same for those that are part of the wife; they pick upwhere we are playing in the gospel according to the wife of the Lamb, be-cause by the anointing, we are creating a distinct sound—and we arequalified to do that in the fullness of the Spirit of Christ. And that iswhy in this last day, in preaching the Word of God, we do not get upand just quote scripture without it giving a precise distinction in sound.And by this distinction in sound, it is bringing forth this Word, and itpaints a perfect picture for those that it is ordained for.

A preacher came to visit us here in Dawsonville many years ago topreach for us. And when it came time for him to get up and preach, hesaid, “I do not know what I am going to preach. I am just going to openup my Bible, because all the Bible is the Word of God; so wherever itfalls open, I will start preaching there.” Well, he was totally unpreparedto preach, so he went from one scripture to another and did not createa picture that made any sense at all. So that was what Paul was sayingin his day, “Except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it beknown what is piped or harped?” And now the wife of the Lamb issaying the same in this hour, “It has to give a distinction in sound ofwhat is being said, and what is being done.” That is what is happeningnow as this last trumpet message is sounding. And for those that haveears to hear it, they understand perfectly what is being preached.

So this is just as it was in the Old Testament; there was a distinction insounds as God gave a way to gather Israel together, which was by theblowing of the trumpet or a ram’s horn. These types of instrumentswere used in rituals, festivals, and worship, as well as sending a signal

THE FIRST SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET WAS FOR THE ESPOUSAL, AND THE SOUNDING OF THIS LAST TRUMPET IS FOR THE MARRIAGE

or a message (an announcement) to the people. And everyone wastaught what to do when they heard the sound. It was not someone get-ting up and sounding a trumpet without making a distinction in sound.They knew the message that it was sounding.

Let us go on to Verse 8. It says, “For if the trumpet give an uncertainsound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” One of the things that thetrumpet did was to gather the people for battle. But the trumpet had togive a certain sound. In other words, what if the leaders or the watch-men on the wall got out there and started blowing and giving differentsignals? Well, the people would be in confusion, saying, “What are wesupposed to do? What are they saying?” No, the sound has to be dis-tinct, and the sound has to be precise, correct, and bring you right towhat God is doing. So Paul had the espousal trumpet message in hisday; and there was a distinction in sound from all the other voices. Thatis what he is referring to here. It was a trumpet message, and it wassomething that could be understood.

Now in this day, God has made clear to us that Paul was the only onethat had the gospel to the Gentiles. But as Paul went forth and intro-duced the Gentiles to the gospel of Christ that God had given him, therewere Jews that were ordained to be part of the espoused virgin whoalso began to come to Paul’s message. Because in the Book of Ephesians,Chapter 2, Paul says, “For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hathbroken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in hisflesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; forto make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;” Notice, God cre-ated one new man. This was a new group that were neither Jew norGentile. And although there were still Jews and Gentiles all aroundhim, it was only to this particular group that Paul said, “I have espoused(engaged) you to Jesus Christ to be married to Him and be His wife.”Here we begin to see some distinction in sounds. Paul’s message beganto manifest a certain distinction by saying such things as: “You are savedby grace without the works of the law,” “I have espoused you to oneHusband,” “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular,”and “We are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.” Hewas bringing forth a thought of God with a specific purpose. And Paul’smessage gave a distinction in sound from the twelve apostles to theJews, because their purpose in God’s plan was different from what Paulwas ordained to do.

This is clearly seen in the Book of Galatians, Chapter 2, when Paulwent up by revelation to Jerusalem to see the other apostles. They werehaving a conference; and after Paul spoke during the meeting and theother apostles listened to him, they were amazed at his testimony, es-

Page 29: BEN HOWARD - Amazon S3 · OTHER BOOKS BY BEN HOWARD.....239 AUDIO AND VIDEO SERMONS—1967-2018.....251. THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME 7 This Testimony is a Witness

28 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

pecially when he said, “But of these who seemed to be somewhat in confer-ence added nothing to me: But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel ofthe uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcisionwas unto Peter; (For He that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship ofthe circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles.) And whenJames, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars perceived (notice, Peter,James, and John were perceiving a distinction in sound) the grace thatwas given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship;that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.” We seetwo gospels here going forth with two different purposes; and therewas a distinction in sound between the two. Peter and the other elevenapostles were to call out a people to rule and reign in the millennium,showing the twelve foundations of the wall of the city New Jerusalem.Paul had the job of calling out a people for the namesake of God’s Sonfrom both the Jews and the Gentiles, to create a virgin to be married tothe Lord Jesus Christ and to sit by His side as His wife. However, themarriage did not take place at that time because of the fall of the virginthat Paul had espoused.

In Revelation, Chapter 2, Jesus told them why the marriage did nottake place, “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thouhast left thy first love.” So because of this, they fell down to living on asurvival message that God allowed Paul to lay in the Word that wouldtake them through a period of time called the seven church ages. Butthere was sleeping Word shown in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 that Paulprophesied about that goes beyond the foundation, which they couldnot receive: “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but weshall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and weshall be changed,” But now this prophecy has been awakened by thesounding of this last trumpet in this hour, as the light of God has comeupon it. And before this trumpet message is completed, all of this willbe brought to pass.

Notice again, my title is, The First Sounding of the Trumpet was For theEspousal, and the Sounding of this Last Trumpet is For the Marriage. In otherwords, espousal and marriage shows the foundation and the building;and now these two are connected together in the marriage of the Lamb.And it is because of this last trumpet message that is sounding forthwith a distinction in sound, saying, “In being a predestinated seed, wewere chosen in Him before the foundation of the world as part of theWord, the wife of the Lamb, who was created from the same specialpart of the Word that Jesus was created from. For in the beginning wasthe Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And

THE FIRST SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET WAS FOR THE ESPOUSAL, AND THE SOUNDING OF THIS LAST TRUMPET IS FOR THE MARRIAGE

as Jesus was the Word made flesh, we are made from the same Wordmade flesh; for we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of Hisbones.”

Now once again, there is a distinction in sound today. Yes, there aremany other sounds, many other voices in the world; and they havesome good things, but I am talking here about the wife of the Lamb. SoI am not preaching to all these others, or about them; for they will fulfilltheir place as God has ordained. But we are a special group that hasbecome one flesh with our Lord Jesus. That is marriage (and not es-pousal), and it has taken place at the sounding of this trumpet. Yes, thelast trumpet is sounding for the wife; and it picked up after the churchages were over.

At the first sounding of the trumpet, it looked as though the marriagewas going to take place right then and there, so Paul began to tell aboutit. And as Paul said in 2 Corinthians 11:2-3, Satan got in, just like he didwith Eve in the Garden of Eden, whom he seduced, and the marriagedid not happen at that time. But God let it go that way in order to fulfillanother part of His plan, the seven church ages—and each church agehad its place in God’s plan. Then after the church ages were over, wecame to the time when we continued where Paul left off, where thetrumpet was picked up again, and we began to blow it. We are blowingthis trumpet. The sound is for marriage; and it gives a distinction insound. It does not say, “This could be right,” or “That could be right,”or “This may be the way it is,” or “That may be the way it is.” No, thissound is distinct. It is like playing a certain tune. When you walkthrough the door into a room where music is being played, if it is inyou, you know what is being played, because it gives a distinction—you have heard it before; it was put in you before the foundation of theworld.

Many times if someone has a musical gift, they can pick up almostany instrument and soon be playing. I once saw a little boy on televi-sion, who was about three years old, and he sat down at a piano andbegan to play it. How to play the music was just a gift within him; andhe could make a distinction in sound. It did not sound like it was achild trying to play a piano; for it made a distinct sound.

In the Book of Luke, Chapter 4, it shows us a distinction in sound asGod put His blessings upon His Son, Jesus the Word, to show forth Hisglory. Now Jesus walked here in the earth for thirty years before theSpirit of Christ came into Him. Before this, He did not do one miracle;but He was the Word made flesh, who worked as a carpenter just asany other man would work to make a living. And I would venture tosay that His carpentry work was as excellent as His character. Then

after the fullness of the Spirit of Christ came into Him when He wasbaptized of John, He was led into the wilderness to be tempted of thedevil; as Luke 4:13-22, says, “And when the devil had ended all the tempta-tion, he departed from him for a season. And Jesus returned in the power ofthe Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the regionround about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. Andhe came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was,he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. Andthere was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias (Isaiah). And whenhe had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit ofthe Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to thepoor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to thecaptives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that arebruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, andhe gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them thatwere in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them,This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. And all bare him witness, andwondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And theysaid, Is not this Joseph’s son? The religious leaders said amongst themselves,“Is not this the carpenter? We know his father, Joseph.” They were aston-ished! For they were hearing this particular scripture read with a dis-tinction in sound, with authority, and the power to make it live! Notice,Jesus did not get out and preach and heal the sick until after He wasbaptized of John. That is when the very Christ that has always beencame into Him; and from that moment on He began to be called Jesusthe Christ, and some of the people referred to Him only as Christ.

It is important here to understand that the Spirit of Christ worked allthe way back through time, even before God created man. Yes, theSpirit of Christ came all the way through time. In 1 Corinthians 10:3,we see that Christ was that rock in the wilderness, way back there inthe Old Testament when the children of Israel were on their journey.They came to Moses and said, “We are dying of thirst!” When God’speople were thirsty and in desperation in the desert, there was a rocklying in the desert, and God told Moses, “Thou shalt smite the rock, andthere shall come water out of it, that the people may drink.” And Mosesdid as he was told, and the water came gushing out of the rock. Godmade pools of water in the desert. Paul gave witness of this Rock in thewilderness in 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, saying, “Moreover, brethren, I wouldnot that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud,and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloudand in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink thesame spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:

and that Rock was Christ.” It was Christ in that rock that followed themin the wilderness. And it was Christ in the Old Testament withMelchizedek. It was Christ with the man that came to Abraham andtold him that Sarah was going to have a child. And all of this was beforeJesus, the Son of God, came on the scene.

Jesus did not come into existence in any form until He was born of avirgin named Mary, a daughter of Israel. And this did not take placeuntil the angel Gabriel came to Mary and brought her the sleeping Wordthat had been prophesied in the Old Testament in the Book of Isaiah7:14, and she became impregnated with the life of the Word that hebrought. (Luke, Chapter One) Her baby, Jesus, was born and lived likeany ordinary child. The only time we see Jesus quoting scripture wasat the age of twelve when he went into the temple in Luke, Chapter 2.He was speaking to the priests about the things of God. But He was notyet anointed by the Christ to go forth and do the great things He did;for that took place when He was baptized of John. He was about thirtyyears old when the Spirit of Christ, being seen by John in the form of adove, came into Him and He was given the Spirit without measure—that was the mighty Christ that has always been. And now the fullnessof Christ could be seen walking the earth in a man. And now in thislast day, we see the fullness of Christ again, in the wife of the Lamb,walking here in the earth. And the world has never seen Christ in thisform until now. This means that the Lord Jesus has given us the Christpart of His name—Let her be called Christ the wife. The Word of Godtalks about ‘the Lord and His Christ.’ So Christ is in the earth today,and we are flesh and bone of the Lamb of God. Christ means the anoint-ing, the anointed one.

So when Christ came into Jesus, He went forth and began to preachand to work miracles. See, there was a distinction in sound. At first wesee as He was growing up that He grew in favor with God and man.Everyone liked this man named Jesus; for He was a good carpenter, agood man. But when Christ came into Jesus, He began to heal the sick,raise the dead, and to condemn the Pharisees and Sadducees for theirfalse religious ideas and opinions. He let them know that the spirit thatthey were operating by was the spirit of iniquity and not the Spirit ofGod at all. They had taken the Old Testament writings and were saying,“Moses said this,” and “Moses said that.” Well, Jesus saw what theyhad done; they had added their own rules and traditions to the Wordof God, especially concerning the Sabbath day. Jesus told them, “Manwas not made for the Sabbath (man is not a slave to the Sabbath); butthe Sabbath was made for man (to give him a day of rest).” And thatday of rest typified the Holy Ghost coming into our hearts. In the Book

of Isaiah 28:12, it says, “To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye maycause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.”God said that He would give them rest; and Jesus came to give witnessof it. But those religious Pharisees and Sadducees said unto Jesus,“Moses told us this.” Jesus said, “I know what Moses said. But I sayunto you.” See, there was a distinction in sound! Here was the livingWord of God brought up to date. This was the one that was with Moses,the same Christ among them, walking the earth again unbound. Some-one said, “I thought Jesus did not exist until He was born of Mary.”That is true! But Christ has existed since the beginning. Christ was inthe fiery furnace with the three Hebrew children (Daniel, Chapter 3);not Jesus, because He was not yet born. But it was Christ in this form,being shown as the fourth man that was seen in the furnace with them,which was God projecting the image of His Son. Now that is a distinc-tion in sound from all the religious sounds.

Therefore, if you say that Jesus is the eternal Son of God, then you arewrong, unless you are saying that He was with God before the founda-tion of the world as a thought of God, the logos. Jesus was not there inthe literal sense, but was there as the Word—“In the beginning was theWord, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And theWord was made flesh and dwelled among us.” (John 1:1, 14) Just likewe were there as the Word that was with God. When Jesus was born ofa virgin named Mary, that was His literal beginning as a human as Hecame forth as a little baby.

So Jesus found the scripture where it said, “The anointing of God isupon me. He hath sent me to heal the sick, to loose them that are inprison (spiritual prison), to bring liberty to the captive, to heal the bro-ken hearted, and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Now hereis Jesus the Christ. Prior to this, He was known as Jesus the carpenter.Make no mistake about it. Christ was here all through time, and evenbefore time begun, doing whatever God ordained; because Christ (theanointing) was the Holy Spirit that God used from the beginning, untilChrist came into Jesus. But when Christ came into Jesus, then Christbecame a very part of the soul of Jesus, thus creating the Holy Ghost.Isaiah, Chapter 53, gives witness of this tender plant; saying that it waswounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities, and thechastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we werehealed. Jesus poured out His soul unto death. That is when He wascrucified. He cried with a loud voice, and said, “Father, into thy handsI commit my spirit.” But prior to this, He had told His disciples, “Johnbaptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost notmany days hence.” Here came the attributes from God through Christ

that had come into the soul of Jesus. And that is what the Holy Ghostis about, bringing the soul of Jesus Christ into the believer. Then later,Christ (being one with the soul of Jesus) came to Paul as a great lightthat shined as bright as the noonday sun, while he was on his way toDamascus. And as the saying goes, “The rest is history.”

It was this very Christ that became part of all of God’s redeemed fam-ily. This all started on the day of Pentecost, shown in the Book of Acts,Chapter 2, when the Holy Ghost that was a part of the soul of Jesuscame and they were partakers of Him. This was the first leg of the spir-itual coming of the fullness of Christ as seen in Revelation, Chapter 10.They were partakers of Christ, the same Christ that could find no restingplace until He came into Jesus making Him, Jesus the Christ. Christwas with different ones through time; even being shown as the Rock inthe wilderness. But when Christ came into Jesus, both Christ and theman Jesus found their perfect place and fullness that had been ordainedof God. Likewise, when you hear the Word of God that is for you, andyou receive it, then you can say by revelation, “I have found what I havebeen looking for.” And nothing else can ever fill that place in your heart.It will not be an uncertain sound; and you will not be saying, “I wonderwhat that preacher is talking about.” You will only say that if you werenot ordained to be part of this from the beginning. So if you were notthere to begin with, you will not understand these things. But since youwere there with God in the beginning, you already know this anyway.You are born with this desire in you. The only thing is, when you hearthis last trumpet of God sounding, it quickens the Word within you andbrings it up to your mentality, and you will no longer be tossed to andfro, because you found what you have been looking for all your life.

So when one received the Holy Ghost, what did they receive? Theyreceived the very Jesus Christ in the first leg of His spiritual coming,which was first seen on day of Pentecost. In the Old Testament, theHoly Ghost did not exist. Christ existed, but not the Holy Ghost. Ghosthas to do with the spirit of man. We can find this in John, Chapter 7. Itsays, “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me,as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (Butthis spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: forthe Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”Jesus had to be crucified, resurrected, and glorified before this could beaccomplished. And by receiving the Holy Ghost, one can be partakerswith Christ and have the same power that was with and in the manJesus. But in this last day, there is a people who have been baptized intothe fullness of His Spirit by a message, as He came down in Revelation,

34 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

Chapter 10, in the form of the Mighty Angel and brought us the littlebook, making us one with Him, making us the wife of the Lamb withHis very own mind, who is bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh.

So if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, you cannot know what todo. But the voice of this last trumpet is giving a distinction in sound;for it has picked us up in the Spirit and translated us into the marriageof the Lamb, where we are rejoicing and edifying one another, as wehave become members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. (Eph-esians 4:13-16, Ephesians 5:30 and Revelation 19:7-8) And we are nolonger tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine,as we are grown up into Him. And we know that this is what was wait-ing for us before the world was. I am talking about the fullness of theSpirit of Christ, the mind of Christ. So our spirit was there in this partof the Word as the wife that God foresaw for His Son. This is the Wordthat we were born of; and now this special part of the Word has becomethe Word made flesh.

We know the story so well about Adam and Eve. First Adam was cre-ated; but where was Eve? She was in Adam. She was part of Adam.We see this in Genesis, Chapter One, where God created them ‘maleand female, created He him.’ Then God began to create a garden andthe animals. The Bible says, “There was no man to till the earth.” Somewill say, “I thought God created Adam before He did any of this other.”No, He only created Adam in the spirit at this time, not in the flesh andbone. The attributes were in the spirit man, and then God made thebody of the man. He took from the dust of the earth and created a man.He put that spirit of Adam (which was male and female) into the body,and he became tangible. He was the ruler of the earth, but he was miss-ing something—his wife. We do not know just how long it took Adamto start getting lonely; but he looked at everything and saw that therewas male and female, but for him there was found no helpmeet, mean-ing one that was compatible to him. The Word does not say a helpmate,in the sense of having someone there to tell what to do. No. He saidhelpmeet, which means someone that would be suitable and could bejoined in oneness of spirit and flesh. Then one day Adam’s lonelinessreached a peak, and God came to him and saw what the problem was.Here was a man that was perfect in every way, and he had power toname the animals and speak the Word; whatever he said, that is whatit was. Nevertheless, he was lonely. That is because the ‘other half’ ofhim was missing.

Therefore, God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and He tookfrom his side a rib, with which He created Eve. He took all those fem-inine attributes that were in Adam and put them into Eve. And when

THE FIRST SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET WAS FOR THE ESPOUSAL, AND THE SOUNDING OF THIS LAST TRUMPET IS FOR THE MARRIAGE

Adam woke up from his sleep and he saw Eve, he thought she was themost beautiful sight that he had ever seen in his life! And he said, “Thisis now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be calledwoman, because she was taken out of man.” Well, what is this lasttrumpet saying about us?—“We are members of His body, of His flesh,and of His bones.” And this is only speaking of the wife of the Lamb.This is not speaking of all the children of God in general; although theywill have a wonderful place. This is not talking about the nation of Is-rael. It is talking about those called out of the Jews and Gentiles intothis last trumpet message, making us one in Him, the fullness of Christas seen in Ephesians 4:13-16. We have a book entitled, Christ the Wife:A People Without a Country. We are neither Jew nor Gentile, Americannor any other nationality. I thank God that I live in America, becausethere are many advantages in living here, and a few disadvantages; butI believe I would choose it over any place I have ever traveled. But thepoint is, we are not Americans; we are the wife of the Lamb, neither Jewnor Gentile.

Let us continue with 1 Corinthians 14:9, “So likewise ye, except ye utterby the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spo-ken: for ye shall speak unto the air.” This last trumpet does not give an un-certain sound; but it gives a sound that strikes every word trueaccording to the gospel of the wife of the Lamb. Just like a music sheet,if someone knows music, and the gift is within them, the person can sitdown at a piano and they can play every note just right. It is the samewith any true minister of the Lord Jesus Christ in this hour who hasbeen baptized into the fullness of the body of Christ. He can take themusic sheet of this last trumpet message of God, the marriage of theLamb, and play it, and it will hit every note true and it will thrill yourheart. It will go right to your soul, and you will know that you are inthe presence of Him.

In 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15, here is a trumpet sound that was proph-esied about in the days of Paul. And I want you to watch here, Paulcalls it the last trumpet, the last sounding. The first sounding of thetrumpet was for the espousal, the engagement, laying a foundation; andthis sounding of the last trumpet has built the building, the wife of theLamb, who fits on the foundation perfectly in this marriage.

On the way down to Damascus, when Paul was struck down, hereached in the side of Christ Jesus and took a rib (spiritually speaking),and that is when he began to talk, not like a Jewish preacher, but hebegan to speak things that had never been heard before. He talkedabout the virgin, wife, she, and her. Now, once again, this trumpet hasreached in the side of Christ Jesus, and took this rib (message), and

began to create a woman that is now married to the Lord Jesus, just asPaul’s message espoused a virgin to Him.

Let us read that in 1 Corinthians 15:51; it says, “Behold, I shew you amystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.” This was aprophecy for us, the wife of the Lamb. As the message of this last trum-pet is sounding forth, and before it is completed, it will raise the deadand change the living part of the wife. It does not change everyone thatis a Christian. There are some people that are partakers of Christ attheir ordained level. I brought this out in depth in a message entitled,Are We the Wife of the Lamb, or Just Partakers of Christ?, which is one ofthe chapters in our book, The Gospel According to the Wife of the Lamb.Those that are just partakers of Christ cannot receive this last trumpetmessage of fine linen, clean and white, because they are not part of it.They are not part of this Word that is bone of His bone and flesh of Hisflesh that we have become. But to the predestinated, this message fitsus like a perfectly fitting glove on our hand, one that is made just forus. And there is nothing to wonder about; for we are not tossed to andfro.

Again, Verses 51-52, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,but we shall all be changed, (How long will this change take?) In a moment,in the twinkling of an eye, (Well, when is it going to be?), at the last trump;for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and weshall be changed.” This message of ‘we shall not all sleep, but we shallall be changed’ is this last trumpet sounding, which is the fine linen thatwe are clothed in. And our Lord Jesus has given it to us, as we are nowliving in the revelation of the change, because we know that we shallnot see physical death, because the last trumpet is sounding. And thisdistinction in sound strikes everything right to the Word.

Now notice that Paul began to tell the believers about the gift oftongues and all these other diverse gifts and how God used them duringthe first sounding of the trumpet. Then as this last trumpet sounds, weunderstand all these truths in their fullness as they relate to this day.For this trumpet did not come in any other day. Paul said this is whenthe dead are going to raise and the living are going to be changed andcaught up in the rapture. We may all be here a little while after we areglorified; for when Jesus rose from the dead and the saints rose withHim, they did not leave the earth immediately. They were here for fortydays and nights in glorified bodies and they were seen of many. Andwhen He left, He led them into glory. But while Jesus was here in Hisglorified body, He talked with the two disciples on their way to Em-maus, and at first they did not know who they were talking to. Butwhen Jesus got ready, He opened their eyes. He opened their under-

standing—“Wow! This is the Lord Jesus! He has risen from the dead!”Then they went to tell the other apostles, with the exception of Paul,who had not been converted yet.

So at the first sounding of the trumpet, it was the foundation, the es-pousal. But the sounding of this last trumpet is for marriage; that iswhen resurrection and the physical translation takes place. Christ camedown in Revelation, Chapter 10, and we were baptized into the fullness,and we have become the wife of our Lord Jesus Christ; not espoused,but we are the married wife—bone of His bone, and flesh of His flesh.And we have the mind of Christ.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your Word; and we thank you that we arenot tossed to and fro. Lord, we thank you that we can read the music sheet,which is the gospel according to the wife of the Lamb. We thank you that wecan tell exactly when someone is playing it according to this gospel, and thenwhen someone is not playing according to the music sheet, we can tell that too,Lord. I pray that you will take these words and use them for your glory. Andmay we have complete understanding. Help us to receive and be blessed byyour Spirit, in our Lord Jesus Christ’s wonderful name, we pray. Amen.

39WE ARE AT PRESENT THE WIFE AND QUEEN OF OUR KING, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, BY A PROXY MARRIAGE

AWAKE THOU O’ SLEEPER TO WALK THE EARTH IN THE WORD, UNBOUND

I appreciate the Lord and thank Him for the Bible, the written Wordof God, that He has given us; and we praise Him for His wonderfulworkings and for what He is doing today. We are so privileged to bethe wife of the Lamb, clothed in this message of fine linen, clean andwhite, which is the trumpet message, showing this high calling of God.The Apostle Paul spoke of the high calling and said that he was pressingfor this prize. But because of the fall of the virgin that he had espousedto our Lord Jesus Christ, he had to stay with the virgin to give instruc-tion of how to survive in her fallen state. And he went to the grave withher, to be resurrected with her for marriage by this last sounding of thegospel trumpet, in order to receive this fine linen, being a part of us, thewife here at the end time. Our beloved Paul prophesied about us in theBook of 1 Thessalonians, Chapter 4, and in the Book of 1 Corinthians15:51-52, saying, ‘We which are alive and remain are not going to die,but we shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, afterthe part of the wife that went into the graves are raised.’ And when didPaul say that it would be? At the sounding of the last trumpet! Andthe trumpet is sounding loud and clear today. So it is time for us to beone with all the other saints that have gone on before us.

Today I want to take this thought, Awake Thou O’ Sleeper to Walk theEarth in the Word, Unbound. Now I am not going to be reading muchscripture today, saying, “Let us turn here, and let us turn there;” becausethe Christ that wrote the scriptures is in us, and we are in Him, thereforewe speak the Word by inspiration. So let us have a word of prayer be-fore going deeper into this message of Christ.

Heavenly Father, we pray that you will move by your Spirit, and that yourWord will go forth as a prevailing force, and that it will go right to the heartsof the people that you have ordained it for. Lord, we appreciate you and we loveyou and we praise your name. I pray as this Word goes forth that we will allsay that it is good to be in the presence of the Lord, and that we all realize thisWord of the last trump of God sounding has come alive and is walking the earthunbound. We praise you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

We can clearly see in the writings of Paul that he spoke the Word byinspiration, and he did it without depending very much on what otherssaid before him. He just got up and said, “I say unto you,” andpreached the Word like that, because it was Christ in him doing thespeaking. Paul said, “I am here in Christ’s stead.” He was here in the

40 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

stead of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even the Apostle Peter referred to ‘speak-ing the Word by inspiration’ in the Book of 2 Peter 1:19; for he said, “Wehave also a more sure word of prophecy (meaning the written Word—andyou do well to look to it); whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto alight that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise inyour hearts:” In other words, the spoken Word (or speaking the Wordby inspiration) is the original seed. So many times it was not writtenuntil it was spoken and acted out through the prophets and the apostles,and then it became the written Word. See, the prophecies of the Wordare awakened when it is time for them to be fulfilled. And there is acertain Word for this hour, which has been awakened; it has come alivein the earth today, and the Word is being unbound and written as wespeak it.

I know when we speak like this, denominations, theologians, and sem-inaries will say, “No, you have to just quote the scripture and stay withthat.” Well, what they said and did back then was inspired Word, andwas written, and it became what we know as scripture. And many ofthe things that Paul said we cannot find until he said it; because theWord was alive, it was Christ in the earth in the first leg of His spiritualcoming. And now the fullness of Christ is here and He is still talkingand He is still giving Word by inspiration.

So in this day and hour, the spoken Word can be heard and is givingout a distinction in sound through this last trumpet of God message,which is being ministered by the wife of the Lamb. Awhile back, in anight vision, I saw a king that was freshly crowned (and we anoint ourLord Jesus and crown Him by our rallying to Him). And I walked upto him and said, “I am ready to do all thy bidding.” And he looked atme and said, “You shall ride in my second chariot, and I want you to bekeeper of my papers.” ‘You shall ride;’ not just me, but all the membersof the wife of the Lamb. Because we sit by His side, which is our posi-tion in Him. I preached a message that brought out the revelation ofthis night vision, entitled, Keepers of the King’s Papers (which was putinto book form in a single booklet; and also as a chapter in our book,Christ the Wife: A People Without a Country), showing there is a group ofsaints that are the wife of the Lamb. We are not a religious group; butwe are a body of people who have reached the high calling of God inChrist Jesus, dressed in fine linen, clean and white.

Now when we look at the other saints, we find that they are dressedin white robes. The manner of clothing they are dressed in tells us with-out doubt the position of the saints. So the fact that there are saintsdressed in fine linen, clean and white, tells us that this is part of the wifethat has been resurrected to be united with us, the living part of the wife

of the Lamb. This is taking place at the sounding of this last trumpet.The voice of this trumpet gives them fine linen, clean and white, as theycome forth in a visible form to be joined with the living part of the wife,who at this time will change into glorified members of the body ofChrist. We are glorified together and caught up in the rapture. Whereasthose in the Book of Revelation, Chapter 7, will have to wash their robesand make them white in the blood of the Lamb. But this fine linen thatwe are clothed in has never been stained, so there is no need for wash-ing, for it is His very own righteousness. And let me make this cleartoday—that does not have anything to do with other people that Godis dealing with in a different working; because He deals with other peo-ple in certain ways to accomplish other parts of His plan. And some ofHis workings are totally in the natural realm. And whatever is needed,God will do, in order to bring everything to the place He ordained. Andto us, His wife, He is an ever present help in a time of need. O’ what amighty God we serve!

So in this hour, the wife receives ‘whatever is ordained for the mo-ment,’ as we are the fullness of the body of Christ, with the mind ofChrist. This all came about because Christ in Revelation, Chapter 10,did something in such a secretive way, which was His ‘hidden in a cloudcoming’ back to the earth in the form of the Mighty Angel. And thishappening was the Lord Jesus sending His Christ in the fullness of HisSpirit back to this earth. And the religious world missed it. But Christcame back to this earth as a proxy for our Lord Jesus to marry His wife,and the world does not even know that He has come. And because ofour marriage, Christ as the Mighty Angel no longer exists in that formas shown in Revelation, Chapter 10; because the Mighty Angel wasshowing the Spirit of Christ until we were baptized into the fullness ofChrist and we became the one who is now showing forth that Christthat has taken on flesh and bones through the members of His body. Sono longer is the Mighty Angel seen, as Christ is now seen in us, Hismany member body, which is the wife of the Lamb; and we have beenawakened to the Word that was with the Father, which came down andtook on flesh and bones in marriage. It is Christ back in the earth; forHe came in total secret in His fullness for this end time. And remember,I am talking fullness here—the perfect man is walking here in the earth.The Word made flesh again is walking here unbound!

Now my title again is, Awake Thou O’ Sleeper to Walk the Earth in theWord, Unbound. Awake Thou O’ Sleeper! That is what the trumpetsounds out. The trump shall sound, and the dead appear. (1 Corinthi-ans 15:51-52) There are those that are a part of the wife of the Lambwho went on before us; but by the voice of this trumpet a great mystery

is unbound, which wakes up those that are asleep for the marriage ofthe Lamb. And together we receive this sleeping Word of 1 Corinthians15:51-57 that laid dormant through time but now has been awakenedand is being unbound; for God’s time has come to shine the light uponthose that went by the way of the grave. In other words, “Awake thouO’ sleeper to receive your crown of life.” That is what the trumpetsounds.

In 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15, Paul tells about the dead, and how thedead are going to come forth; for they were baptized for the dead.There were some saying, “I do not believe the dead are going to rise.”Paul said, “If the dead does not rise, then why are you baptized for thedead?” Here in Verse 29, Paul is speaking of death, burial, and resur-rection. And in this same chapter, starting in Verse 51, he spoke aprophecy that would be here at the end time. He said, “I want to showyou a mystery (secret) of what is going to take place.” And that is whatthis book is showing.

Now the Lord Jesus does not come to earth until the beginning of themillennial reign; but Christ, the proxy, came down in the fullness of HisSpirit, to marry us to God’s Son, making us bone of His bone and fleshof His flesh, because He is the Word. And now since that happened,we are the Word, just the same as He is. That is the reason we are not adenomination nor religious system of any kind. It has to be the Lordleading and guiding and giving the Word; and that Word is unboundin the earth. We are not bound by any one particular scripture, becausewe are the living Word, and that means we are part of Him, who is thepresent-tense Word, alive as the wife of the Lamb.

It is here that I want to bring in the Book of Acts, Chapter 10, wherewe find Peter on a housetop praying, and he was hungry. (And the Lordused this hungry condition to speak to Peter.) We see that the Spirit ofthe Lord came upon him, and he fell into a trance, seeing a vision of asheet that came down from heaven, and the Lord said, “Peter, arise, killand eat.” When Peter looked, he only saw beasts that he was not sup-posed to eat. This should have let Peter know that the old way was giv-ing way to the new way. This was when he went to Cornelius’ houseand opened the door to the Gentiles. Peter was the only one that coulddo it because he had the keys to the kingdom. So Paul could not openthe door. But once the door was open, Paul could bring his message.And much of the things that he preached was not written in the Wordof God until after he preached it. We see this many times when the peo-ple would ask him questions and he would answer them. And hewould not say, “Moses said this,” or “Jesus said that.” You will findvery few places where Paul even quoted Jesus. The reason being, it was

the same Christ in him that was in Jesus; so now Paul was bringing pres-ent day Word, which was Word unbound walking in the earth again.

So through the ministry of Paul, we see the tree of life began to growfor the Gentiles, because a great light had come. Then in 2 Corinthians3:6, Paul began to preach, showing what God had done for those of hisday, saying, “Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; notof the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”Notice, the letter killeth. The letter of the Word of God will kill if youdo not know what to do with it. It brings spiritual death! So if all youwant to do is eat of the Bible (the tree of the knowledge of good andevil) and not the Spirit of God (the tree of life), then it will kill. Manypeople can quote scripture and they are as dead as can be. It is the Spiritthat maketh alive. Jesus said, “My words are Spirit and they are life.”He did not say the written Word was Spirit and life. No, He said, “MyWord is life.” The Word is what He was saying then and there. But thePharisees, Sadducees, and all the religious people of that day could notreceive it. Some of them went about to kill Him; especially when Hesaid, “Except you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no partwith me.” They did not know what that meant. They said, “He istelling us to be cannibals.” No, He was saying, “Eat the flesh of theWord.” And now we have become bone of His bone and flesh of Hisflesh. It is the Word. Except you eat our flesh and drink our blood (theSpirit of life), you are not part of the wife of the Lamb. Here is Wordmade flesh, and it is happening in real time. We are being led by theSpirit of God, going from faith to faith, from glory to glory, and are inHis very image. The Spirit of the Lord is present, and where the Spiritof the Lord is, there is liberty.

So Awake O’ Word! There is sleeping Word. In the Book of Hebrews4:12. It says, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper thanany twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents ofthe heart.” But the Bible does not do that. But this Word walking herein the earth in human form does it; for it is living, breathing, and talkingin human flesh that will get the job done.

There are people that talk about the coming of the Lord, and they areright as far as just saying, “The Lord is going to come back, and we aregoing to go in the rapture.” But when it comes to knowing that the com-ing has already happened, they missed it; because they did not recog-nize the Christ, who was hid in the Mighty Angel of Revelation, Chapter10, when He came. Whereas now, Christ is hid in the wife of the Son ofGod, who took the little book from the angel’s hand and ate it up, andwe became what we ate, members of His body, of His flesh and of His

bones. It was God’s way of hiding Christ from the world and to blindthis religious world; and they are still looking for Him. He came andthey knew it not!

So now we have been baptized into that Spirit, into the fullness ofChrist, and have become that Mighty Christ, being members of Hisbody. But in Paul’s day, the members did not become bone of His boneand flesh of His flesh. See, that only took place when Christ came inHis fullness, and we were baptized into the fullness—and that is mar-riage. And marriage is when you become bone of His bone and fleshof His flesh. Otherwise, this would only be espousal (engagement). Butnow we are the wife of the Lamb. We are the walking Word and we areunbound.

Yes, people will take the Bible and say this and that. And I love theBible also, because it shows me that faith is what pleases God. It showsme what God has done through others when they walked by the faiththat was given to them. He is letting us know that He is real to us inthis day and hour. Paul knew the Old Testament; he learned at the feetof Gamaliel, a Pharisee who was a leading authority in the Sanhedrin,a doctor of the Law of Moses. (Acts 5:34-40) But Paul said, “I had tocount all of these things dung, that I might win Christ.” See, that OldTestament Word would not work for him anymore, because he was ina new era, a new time. And for us, Christ is living here now and we arebaptized into His fullness with flesh Word, and the church age law willnot suffice for us in this day of the sounding of this last trumpet. Butnow we have the mind of Christ to know what to do with this Word.

Now I would like to say more about the body of Christ in the timethat we are living in. There is a message that I preached recently enti-tled, Being Edified by Being the Edifier. All the members edify one another.When you edify and encourage another member, then you are edifiedyourself. I know this to be a fact. If you encourage another body mem-ber, then that encourages you. If you are an edifier in the body of Christ,then you will edify the other members of the body, and in return be ed-ified yourself, because the Spirit of edification is here inside the fullnessof the body and it is just in you to edify the other members; and thenboth you and the other members will receive the edification. See, thatis what we do, we prefer other members before ourselves. Someonemay be down and out, and you may be just as down and out, but youwill get encouraged by saying to the brother or sister, “Come on, theLord is with us! We are more than conquerors! Rejoice and be exceed-ingly glad!” And soon, you both will feel like dancing a little jig. Be-cause when you are the edifier, then you become edified. We have onemind and one doctrine, being no longer tossed to and fro. We have one

doctrine, which is to do what the Lord Jesus tells us at the time. Andeveryone believes the same thing about the same Word.

I appreciate the Lord, and I love Him with all my heart. The Word iswalking the earth unbound. Who is the Word? We (you) are the Word.The light is here. Who is the light? Jesus said, “Ye are the light of theworld. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.” Christ is walking here un-bound. Who is Christ? Ye are the body of Christ; and He lives in thewife. We do not represent the body of Christ; but we are the visibleChrist that is flesh and bone. This is where people make their mistakesaying, “We represent the body of Christ.” You will not find that in theWord of God. Paul said, “Ye are the body of Christ.” And now ‘ye arethe body of Christ’ is in another form; for we are members of His body,of His flesh and of His bones. We are the Word unbound walking here.And that Word is made flesh.

In the Book of 1 John, it says, “Our hands have handled the Word, oureyes have seen the Word of life.” In other words, the Word becameflesh. And that is what it is today, the Word has become flesh. And itis not our flesh but His flesh, as we are bone of His bone and flesh ofHis flesh, married by proxy, and we are the Queen of the great King,the Lord Jesus Christ. And we are soon to go sit by His side.

God bless you today. He is so wonderful! Praise God, I appreciateHim. Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we come praising and thanking you forthe Word unbound. Thank you for the Bible; we believe it. And thank you forchoosing a certain group to be the wife of your Son and making us part of it;we appreciate it, Lord. You have called and chosen us into that high calling;and we have received it. Lord, we love you with all our heart. Help us to realizeour position, that we may stand on the living Word and go forth today as yourWord made flesh. We are the wife of the Lamb. And, Lord, we pray that youwill give every member a revelation to the point where they cannot doubt. Wethank you for it, Lord. Bless each member, we pray in the name of our LordJesus Christ. Amen.

47WE ARE AT PRESENT THE WIFE AND QUEEN OF OUR KING, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, BY A PROXY MARRIAGE

BUT NOW THE FORMER THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE AWAY WITH

Today we will be reading in the Word of God from the Book of Acts,Chapter 17, and also from the Book of Hebrews, along with other scrip-tures, because these scriptures tie in with one another. And we will alsoget something fresh that is not even written in the scriptures. So I wantto take a thought and title it, But Now the Former Things Have Been DoneAway With. I am going to speak about some of the things that have beendone away with that were under the Law of Moses, and even thingsthat were written by Paul that were to be applied during the churchages. I want to bring our attention momentarily to the Old TestamentLaw of Moses that was to be done away with in order for the Jews toaccept the New Covenant as Paul wrote about in the Book of Hebrews.And even so now, the rules for the fallen church ages had to be doneaway with in order to accept this last trumpet for the wife of the Lamb.So we now see that there comes a time when certain things are doneaway with—and the wife accepts this as we have reached the end of ahazardous journey.

In the Book of 2 Corinthians, Chapter 3, Paul speaks about the Law ofMoses and the glory of it; for he said in Verse 7, “But if the ministrationof death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children ofIsrael could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his counte-nance; which glory was to be done away:” In other words, it gave way tosomething more glorious through the ministration of the Spirit of life,which has kept us moving on in God’s plan. But we do not want toleave the plan of God back in Paul’s day, for it is what God is doing nowthat gives life to us. So let us pray before reading the scripture.

Heavenly Father, we come to you once again, thanking you for another op-portunity to stand up and be a witness for you and to tell about the good thingsthat you have done and are doing for us, to bring glad tidings of great joy. Ithank you for the moving of your Spirit in helping us as we read the Word ofGod. Also, I thank you for the anointing that you have put upon me, to saywords that will bless and benefit the wife of the Lamb in these very last days.In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Let us begin reading in the Book of Acts, Chapter 17, starting withVerse 30. And here Paul is in the city of Athens, Greece, where the peo-ple had given themselves wholly over to idolatry. So Paul, being stirredin the Spirit, says unto them, “And the times of this ignorance God winkedat; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:” In other words,God winked at many things during this time of ignorance. He just ‘let

48 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

it go’ because the people were doing the best they could with what wasavailable to them in the time they were living in. Paul teaches this inthe Book of Romans, Chapter 2, about the Gentiles. They did not knowthe Law of Moses. They did not have a law to tell them ‘the do’s anddon’ts of the law;’ but they just did what was right in the moral realmautomatically while coming from darkness into light, and from igno-rance into truth. What Paul was saying had not been made known ofGod, yet. So God just winked at it, because He saw that they were doingthe best they could under the circumstances. “but now commandeth allmen every where to repent:” Now I want you to notice those two words‘but now’ in this scripture because that is what I want to highlight today,which is part of our title, But Now the Former Things Have Been DoneAway With. There was a time that the people did not have this lightavailable to them—but now. That is basically what Paul was sayinghere.

Here I want to say that the gospel according to the Apostle Peter wasalready spreading amongst the Jews, even before Paul was convertedto Christ. But now God was sending it to the Gentiles as well as theJews according to Paul’s gospel, from whence came the Word to espousea virgin, which has now become the wife of the Lamb by the soundingof this last trumpet.

I used this scripture in Acts 17:30 and preached on it in the city of Tete,Mozambique. And as I preached a message there entitled, But Now, thepeople rejoiced in the Lord, praising God and singing hymns. Theywere beating their self-made drums as they were just having a wonder-ful time in the Lord. Afterwards, the preacher that drove us back to ourroom kept saying, “But now! It used to be that way, but now!” Thenafter these meetings, my wife and I went to the country of Zimbabweand I preached a message entitled, Obtaining That Which was PreviouslyUnobtainable, meaning something now is available that was not obtain-able in days gone by.

So we read that God once winked at our ignorance. There was a timewhen we may have belonged to this church or that church, when wedid not understand the things we know now, but because we did thebest we could in our journey while waiting for the sounding of thistrumpet, God winked at our ignorance. For He knew that He wouldsoon move us into this realm and baptize us into the fullness of Christand make us the wife of His Son.

When we read in the Book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 12, where it issaid that we are baptized into the body of Christ, the flesh and bonepart is missing; because the revelation of what Revelation, Chapter 10,shows was not to be included until the writings of Ephesians 4:13 and

49BUT NOW THE FORMER THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE AWAY WITH

Ephesians 5:30-32. So prior to this time, shown in 1 Corinthians, Chap-ter 12, the body of Christ was only a mystical (spiritual) body. In otherwords, it was a spiritual body without flesh and bones. Well, that wasthe way it was. But now, we have been married to God’s own Son, andhave become bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. And this body isnot a mystical body (or a spiritual body) anymore; but it is a real solidliving reality. And each individual member is a member of His body,of His flesh and of His bones, and they have the mind of Christ. Wewere the spiritual body of Christ; but now we are the body of Christ inanother form, a tangible body, Word made flesh, expressing God’s Son,as we, the wife, have reached the fullness of Christ.

The question I get oftentimes is, “How can we be married to our LordJesus Christ if He is not here?” That is answered very well in the mes-sage entitled, We Are at Present the Wife and Queen of Our King, the LordJesus Christ, by a Proxy Marriage, which is a chapter in our book, TheGospel According to the Wife of the Lamb. We are married to our Lord Jesusbecause God sent Christ down to us, as seen in Revelation, Chapter 10,as a proxy, with the Word, and the Lord Jesus Christ is the Word. Andwe were predestinated (ordained) as part of this Word with Him. Andthrough Christ Jesus, we became bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh.What does that mean? We are the same Word. The wife of the Lamb isbaptized into the fullness of Christ by an act of God’s Spirit. This Spiritwas given unto His Son Jesus without measure, making Him the full-ness of Christ. And the Lord Jesus has sent the Christ down to us, asthe second leg of His spiritual coming has taken place, and we werebaptized into Christ, and Jesus has given us the fullness of His Spiritand the name ‘Christ the wife of the Lamb.’ The Lord Jesus Christ coulddo this because He is the Lamb Himself, and He has taken His wife inmarriage.

So coming up to this point, the saints of God were doing the best theycould according to the truth that was revealed unto them. But now,Christ has come in the fullness of His Word, and the trumpet messageis sounding. This message is going forth and it is calling to the departedsaints, “Come forth O’ ye sleepers. Wake up; we want to have fellow-ship with you, O’ ye saints.”

Now I want to read in this same chapter of Acts, Chapter 17, Verses18 and 20. It says, “Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of theStoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? othersome, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached untothem Jesus, and the resurrection. And they took him, and brought him untoAreopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speak-est, is? For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know

50 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

therefore what these things mean.” Remember, it was Paul and Silas whohad come and turned the world upside down. The people had neverheard such things as Paul was preaching. And so is it today, the reli-gious people have never heard anything like we are preaching. Theyhave not heard anything like this. They have never heard things like:“We are Christ the wife of the Lamb,” “We are bone of His bone, andflesh of His flesh,” and “We are the people that are going to see the de-parted saints of the body of Christ raised from the dead and we shallbe changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.” Each member ofthe wife of the Lamb hears this trumpet message that is now sounding,and both, those that are raised from the dead and the living that arechanged, are part of the same Word.

So when Paul was preaching about the resurrection of Jesus Christ inhis day, it was something brand new to Areopagus. But watch what theman says to Paul, “May we know what this new doctrine whereof thouspeaketh is?” It is the same thing today; for the wife is speaking a newdoctrine. And there are those who want to know what it is. Yes, thereare some Christians who want to know what this new doctrine is. Andwhen they get the revelation, they realize the new doctrine is what theLord Jesus says unto us. We are His wife, we have His mind, and wepreach whatever He gives us. Just like Jesus said, “I do nothing untilthe Father shows me.” And they came to Him and said, “Now Mosessaid this, and Moses said that.” But Jesus said, “I know what Mosessaid; but I say unto you.” He brought it up to date. They even beganto tell Him what the Law of Moses said about adultery. But Jesus said,“I say unto you, He that looketh upon a woman to lust after her, has al-ready committed adultery in his heart.” Jesus’ new doctrine was thateven though one never touched the woman, because lust was in hisheart, it is still adultery. “For out of the heart perceedeth all thesethings.” See, the people did not know what they were talking about.That was the way it was; but now the Son is shining!

When the religious Jews came to stone a woman to death that hadbeen caught in the act of adultery, they said, “Moses said that she shouldbe stoned to death. What do you say about it?” Jesus began to write inthe sand; and whatever He wrote, it condemned them very badly. Hefinished up by saying, “Let him that is without sin among you, cast thefirst stone.” Then the woman’s accusers began to depart; and it startedwith the eldest to the youngest, as they left one by one. And when Jesuslooked up, there was no one standing there but the woman. Jesus askedher, “Woman, where are thine accusers?” She said, “I have none, Lord.”He said, “Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more.” There isyour ‘but now’ in action, as we see the grace of God put on display. In

51BUT NOW THE FORMER THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE AWAY WITH

Paul’s day, he picked up this grace (seen throughout his message) andpreached it in another form in order to espouse a virgin to the LordJesus Christ. And this same grace was picked up and is now beingpreached in another form by the sounding of the last trumpet (trump)of God made manifest in the fullness of the body of Christ, in the mar-riage of the Lamb.

So Paul went forth preaching the true message of the grace of Godthat he had in that day, and it produced the espoused virgin. We cansee that in Paul’s day he did not let the law keepers who had much trou-ble over circumcision hinder him. Paul did not deny circumcision, hejust brought in the fact that it is a spiritual act and not a fleshly act. Helet them know that what matters is the circumcision of the heart—thecutting away of the works of the flesh. And if someone accepted thegospel, their uncircumcision would become circumcision; because it isnot of the flesh, but of the heart. And he told those law keepers, “If youare going to keep the law, if you offend in one thing, then your circum-cision will become uncircumcision.” See, to those Jews, Paul was speak-ing a strange doctrine, but it was coming straight from the integrity ofthe heart of God. And we can bring that on over to water baptism,shown in the Book of Hebrews 6:1-2, where Paul said, “Leaving theprinciples of the doctrines of Christ, let us go on to perfection,” and thatincluded leaving the doctrine of baptisms. And now God is quickeningthe last trumpet message to us, the wife, because the great grace of Godis made known. The power of God is made known. This brings intoplain view the fact that water baptism has been replaced by a spiritualbaptism for us, which has baptized us into the fullness of the body ofChrist here at the end time after the fulfillment of the spiritual comingof Christ.

Now in Acts, Chapter 17, Verses 19-20, it says, “And they took him, andbrought him unto Areopagus (who was not a Christian), saying, May weknow what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? For thou bringest cer-tain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these thingsmean.” Notice that—we want to know what these things mean. PraiseGod, at least someone wanted to know more about it. This reminds meof how someone who recently heard some of the messages beingpreached, said to me, “These things you are saying sound very strangeto me!” Well, they do if you do not have a revelation of it and if you areholding on to something back there—but now!

In the past, water baptism was showing the resurrection as we werebaptized for the dead (or baptized unto death) as shown in 1 Corinthi-ans 15:29. That baptism was showing death, burial, and resurrectionfor those that died while waiting for the coming of Christ throughout

the church ages. This last trumpet message will bring up those thatwere ordained to be part of the wife of the Lamb that died in the LordJesus. But now, we which are alive and remain have been baptized intothe fullness of the Spirit, and we have become the very Christ wife whilewe are yet alive here on the earth. And that stumbles many people. Ido not like for it to; but it does. This is like Christ coming into and pos-sessing Jesus the carpenter; for He became Jesus the Christ. But it doesnot mean that Christ as Spirit was not present at other places; becauseChrist is part of the Spirit of God. And the Spirit of God is everywhere.

Here it is good to keep in mind what God did when He took the ribfrom Adam and created Eve. This did not take anything from Adam,as making him less—but contrariwise, it made him complete. So whenGod gave us (the wife) this Word, meaning He reveals this Word to us,it does not take anything from Christ Jesus as far as making Christ Jesusless—but contrariwise, it made Him more, because now there is a manymember body of His flesh and of His bones. So this did not make theChrist that is in Jesus less, because our spirit is now made a part ofChrist also, thus adding to Christ Jesus our human attributes of bothmale and female to the whole body of Christ. This means Jesus Christshared His Spirit with us. He gave His feminine attributes to His wife.That is why we have become Christ the wife. This did not take anythingfrom our Husband, Lord, and King, who is the Word. He is still theWord, even though He made us part of the Word, and the Word wasand is God.

Just like the ocean out here—it has everything in it. If someone getsa bucket of water out of the ocean, it has everything in it that the oceanhas in it. But I promise, that bucket of water did not take anything fromthe ocean as far as lowering the water level in the ocean or exhaustingthe ocean; because the ocean still covers most of the planet. It did nottake anything from it; the water in the bucket is part of the ocean. Andwhen we became Christ the wife, it did not diminish our Lord Jesus inany way. But it added to Him; because He now has His wife to sit byHis side. He can still move out here in the other realms as Christ, eventhough we are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh of our Lord Jesus,baptized into the fullness of the Spirit of Christ. Actually, we are Christthe wife of the Lamb. Do not let that offend you. It does not offendpeople that have a revelation. The fact is, when they saw Jesus, did notthey say, “Is this not the carpenter?” The Pharisees and Sadducees did,because they could only see the natural man. They did not have a rev-elation that this man indeed was the Christ. But there were people thathad a revelation who said, “Is this not the Christ?” So it can be saidabout the wife of the Lamb, “Is this not the Christ wife?”

53BUT NOW THE FORMER THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE AWAY WITH

Therefore, we do not take away from our Husband by becoming onewith the Word and Spirit which is our Lord Jesus; for He is still just asreal, and just as able in all the other realms that He is working in. TheWord and Sprit solidified in us, but it did not take away anything fromHim by Him including His wife as part of Him. Again, it added to Him.When Eve was created from Adam, it added to Adam. There were twoof them then; because Eve was part of Adam. And when God createdthe wife from the same Word, it does not take from the Word, but itmakes the Word tangible as it produces glorified human beings. Andhere two as one is more than just one. Jesus Christ said to His disciples,“These things that I do, shall ye do, and even greater things, because Igo to the Father.” It did not take a thing from Him by going to the Fa-ther; but rather, it added to. When you plant a seed in the ground, itdoes not take from the seed, because when the plant comes up out ofthe ground, it produces many seeds created from that one seed by anact of God. And now by this one act of God, our marriage to the LordJesus Christ produced many to come forth from the departed saints aspart of the wife, all dressed in fine linen, clean and white.

So Paul went to Athens preaching about a man that had resurrectedfrom the dead; and that was more than they could handle in that timeperiod; nevertheless, he began to preach these things. And they said,“May we hear this strange doctrine? May we know of this strange doc-trine, whereof you speak? For thou bringeth strange things to our hear-ing.” And now we hear a similar saying concerning this message of ourovercoming physical death. The trumpet has and is sounding; and it isdoing what Paul prophesied it to do. And Christ Jesus by this Word ismaking sure we know what it is saying, “The living shall be changed afterthe dead are raised.” The dead become visible first, and then we shall bechanged in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. Then together, we shallbe physically caught up to His throne. That is what this means for us,the wife, in this hour. And because of the simplicity in this trumpet mes-sage, people without revelation lose out on the things that God is doing.

Let us go to the Book of Hebrews 10:9. I am just going to get a fewmore of these scriptures in here before I get started preaching. Manytimes when I get through preaching, I will hear it back, and I say, “Imeant to read this scripture,” or “I meant to read that scripture.” Butthe Holy Ghost makes His own scriptures as He goes. I have never saidthat before. Did you hear what I said? The Holy Ghost makes His ownscriptures as He goes—whether they are written or not. This Word wasin God before it was ever written. And if all you know about the Wordof God is the letter alone, then it is going to kill you. But it is the Spiritthat maketh alive.

54 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

In Hebrews 10:9, it says, “Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.” And just as Godtook away the old covenant to establish the new covenant, He has alsotaken away the church age survival message as He restored Paul’s mes-sage of espousal; and now He has established this message of marriageaccording to the gospel of the wife of the Lamb.

Here I want to tell you about a man that approached me and said, “Ibelieve in grace and the law. We have to have both of them.” But nowwe cannot have both of them; because in many situations they contra-dict one another. He had to take away the old covenant in order to es-tablish the new covenant. “He taketh away the first, that He mayestablish the second.” This was talking about the Law of Moses and theold covenant. Paul tried to get the Jews away from it and get them toaccept the new; but that was not to be at that time.

There is a scripture also concerning the same thing in Hebrews 8:13.Let us get it while we are here in Hebrews. Again the title of my mes-sage, But Now the Former Things Have Been Done Away With. Do you seewhy we cannot be like the denominations that say, “We believe this, andwe believe that”? What if the Lord brings something that reveals moretruth and it contradicts some of these old rules? Well, that is where de-nominations got in trouble. They stayed with rules regardless. Often-times, I hear people say, “Our church believes it is this way.” But thatis saying that God once lived, but He is not living now; or that God oncetalked, but He is not talking now. But I am telling you, our Lord JesusChrist is still talking. And if you have the ears of the Holy Ghost, youcan hear Him talking; and you are not going to be saying, “This man isspeaking strange things.” But you will be asking things like Verse 19says, “May we hear more about this?” Thank God, there are a few peo-ple, a few in number, that are saying, “We want to know more aboutthis that thou speaketh about!”

Let us read Hebrews 8:10-11, “For this is the covenant that I will makewith the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws intotheir mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, andthey shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour,and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, fromthe least to the greatest.” And this takes us right into the millennium.Verses 12-13, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sinsand their iniquities will I remember no more. In that he saith, A new covenant,he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is readyto vanish away.” And that is something for us to shout about! And inthis new covenant, He told them, “You shall have no more conscious-ness of sin. Your sins and iniquities I will remember no more.”

55BUT NOW THE FORMER THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE AWAY WITH

Oftentimes, I have had people say to me, “Brother Howard, I wouldlove to have what you are talking about, but you do not understand; Ihave done many things.” It does not make any difference. There is nosin that the blood of Jesus Christ does not cover. And He will rememberthem no more. They will say, “But I have done this,” and “I have donethat.” He does not remember it, so do not tell Him about it. He doesnot even know anything about it. He forgot it. He has the ability to for-get; and more and more He has given us that ability. Just forget thosethings of the past and walk forward. The joy and the blessings are herepresent with us. We have finished our journey and have arrived insidethe fullness of the body of Christ. And we do not have any knowledgeof those things.

Let us read Hebrews 8:13 again, “In that he saith, A new covenant, hehath made the first old.” When God made that new covenant, the otherbecame old. I heard a Jewish man say some time back, “If there is aNew Testament, that is saying that ours is old.” I said, “That is exactlyright.” He said, “The New Testament is not inspired Word; for that isthe work of King James.” Oh, how wrong he is. “A new covenant hehas made, the first old, that which decayeth and vanishes away.” WhenHe made the new covenant, that made the first covenant old; meaningit used to be that way, but now the former things are done away with.

So we can see the way it used to be. But for the wife members, beingbaptized for the dead is over with, since this trumpet sounded andChrist came down, shown in Revelation, Chapter 10, and we were bap-tized into the fullness; and that makes all that was before this old. Forour Lord Jesus Christ tasted death for every man, so we do not have todie and go to the grave, because our redemption has full come.

We used to have a fear of death, but now that is taken away. Jesuscame and defeated death, took it and made a show of it openly. He-brews 2:14-15, says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of fleshand blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death hemight destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliverthem who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Yes,death is destroyed to those that are hearing by revelation this trumpetsound, because this message, this Word, has come for we which are aliveand remain. But now! For the scripture sayeth, “When the trumpetsounds, the wife does not even have to die; for we shall be changed ina moment, in the twinkling of an eye.” So we no longer have fear. Wedid have fear; but now! But now we only have faith, as the fear is takenaway and we trust the Lord as we do all His bidding. For we now havethe faith of the Son of God, which is His faith. And we have becomethat Word—the same Word that He was and is, just in another form,

which is the wife, in His Word, who is His flesh and bone.So now here at the end time, there is a people that says, “O death,

where is your sting? O grave where is your victory?” The departedsaints shall appear, and together with us (the living), we shall be rap-tured to meet the Lord Jesus, clothed in fine linen, clean and white. Oh,come forth, thou sleeping saints! Oh, come forth, thou O’ sleepers, andbe part of us. Because the soul is not asleep—only the body, as it wentto the grave. That soul is wide awake and knows exactly what is goingon. The Bible calls it a spiritual body. Paul called it the inner man andouter man, differentiating that there are two of us. There is the innerperson (spiritual) and the outer person. Paul said, “We are waiting forthe redemption of the body.” The body is to be redeemed. We are livingin the time that Christ has come back to earth and complete redemptionis taking place as the dead are raised and the living are changed. Thewife members that are in the graves hear what I am saying, because thetrumpet sounding is the sound that raises them from the dead. (1 Thes-salonians 4:13-16, and 1 Corinthians 15:51-57)

So as it was in Paul’s day, we praise God there are a few people todaythat are saying, “We want to hear what this strange doctrine is—wewould hear it.” So to them that are ordained to be members of the wife,that are of His flesh and of His bones, these things do not seem strangeanymore, as 1 Corinthians 2:9 says, “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen,nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which Godhath prepared for them that love him.” But there are some people that say,“According to the Bible, we cannot know these things; for it says, “Noman knoweth them.” But if they read Verses 10-12, it says, “But God hathrevealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, thedeep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spiritof man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but theSpirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spiritwhich is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us ofGod.” We know these things by the Spirit of God. That is the way it isnow! But now—these things are revealed by the Spirit. The naturalman, yes, he understands the written Word—what Moses said, whatPaul as well as the other apostles said, and what the church age mes-sengers said. There are people that understand much of these things;for the natural man understands the natural things. But only the spiri-tual man can understand these spiritual things revealed by the Spirit ofGod.

We read where God takes away the old that He may establish the new.These former things pass away with each age; and as each age or timeperiod passes away, we cannot bring those things over into this new

day. We cannot even bring over ‘baptized for the dead’ (or baptism untodeath) over into this spiritual kingdom where this last trumpet is sound-ing. Now we have to look at the baptism of death as part of the chron-icles. And now we, the wife of the Lamb, are not promised aresurrection. In other words, for us, we laid death away in the chroni-cles of God’s Word. For He did away with the old in order to establishthe new, which is the gospel according to the wife of the Lamb, wherethere is no death.

In the Old Testament it was showing a type when they had feasts untothe Lord God; and anything that was left, they could not bring it over,they had to burn it with fire. Again I say, “We cannot bring a passedage over into our day and try to live by that.” But now, we are in a newday. There is a new Word; there is a new message. Christ is here in Hisfullness, and He is speaking; for He is the same yesterday, today, andforever! And we have one doctrine, and that is what He is telling us fortoday.

We are saying to those that have gone on before us, “Come forth, wewant see you;” because Christ brought their spirits with Him when Hecame. (1 Thessalonians 4:14) And the body is soon to be raised, andwill come forth dressed in fine linen. That is when this sleeping Word‘and the dead in Christ shall rise first’ becomes living Word and takeson flesh and bones. That is when their bodies begin to live again andbecome one with us—all that are part of the wife of the Lamb. And theythat are part of the wife are the only ones that appear at the time of therapture.

Heavenly Father, I pray that you take these words that I have spoken and usethem for your glory. We know that you are the teacher, Lord. So bless us, wepray, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

59THE WIFE OF THE LAMB’S TIME HAS FULL COME!

HOW AND WHY GOD CREATED THE ANOINTED CHRIST

Today let us turn in the Word of God to the Book of Isaiah, Chapter14. Here the prophet Isaiah is telling about something that happenedbefore mankind, Adam’s seed, was created on earth. Isaiah is writingabout Lucifer, and him being anointed. So before taking a deeper lookat what took place, let us pray.

Heavenly Father, we come praising you for your goodness upon us. I praythat you will move by thy Spirit, and that you will make a way for your Wordto go forth unbound, and that I will be able to speak words that will be of a ben-efiting nature to the wife of the Lamb in this end time, and to all those that youhave ordained to be affected by it. I thank you for the anointing upon me andupon the congregation, and for anointing us to do thy perfect will. In the nameof our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

When we look at Lucifer, we find that his name meant the bringer oflight, the morning star, which was the beginning of God’s creation. Hewas not Satan (the devil) at the time he ruled the earth (which was thekingdom that God had put into his hands), for he had not fallen, yet. Inthe Book of Genesis 1:1-3, we read about this creation, which is also shownin the Book of Hebrews 11:3, which shows that God created the worldsby His Word and at that time there was nothing but God and His Word.

Understanding this is important, as we look at Genesis 1:1. It says,“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” God did not leavevery many clues as to the time when this original creation took place.It only says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”No doubt, it was perfect in every way. However, God let what hap-pened in that first earth age remain a mystery until He revealed to Hisprophets, Isaiah and Ezekiel, as to what happened to end Lucifer’sreign. For we see here that Lucifer was overthrown by God and lost hiskingdom as the earth was thrown into total darkness. But when weread Genesis 1:2, this verse shows us that there had been judgmentupon the earth to the point that the earth was without form and wasmade void; therefore, there was no life on this earth. Any life that washere had died. Here we see the period of time that God had been silentabout. But after time had elapsed (perhaps many millions of years), HisSpirit began to move upon it again, and He brought the earth closer tothe sun, and the ice caps began to melt. And as we read in Verse 3, Godspeaks again, saying, “Let there be light.” And there was light. Nowthe earth was getting into the time of His re-creation—when God began

to bring the earth back to an environment where it would support lifeagain. In Verse 11, it shows that He brought forth of the first creationthe seeds for plant life; and then on down in this chapter it shows Himcreating the animal life. And then our creation was on!

So let us read Genesis 1:2. It says, “And the earth was without form, andvoid; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God movedupon the face of the waters.” It is very important to understand that thisscripture is not speaking of the time of Adam and Eve and their Eden.Their Eden was not in the making until we get to Verse 3 of this chapter,which says, “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” So Gen-esis 1:1-2 deals with a prehistorical age. Verse One shows the actualcreating of the earth in all its beauty, which was Lucifer’s Eden; whileVerse 2, deals with the earth after God judged Lucifer and overthrewhis kingdom and plunged the earth into darkness. And in the latter partof Verse 2, it shows God’s judgment on the earth was nearing its end,and He began to bring the earth back from the abyss and start a newcreation upon it. Then when we get to Verse 3, it picks up where Godbegan to bring the earth to a habitable environment, thus making it aplace for life to exist again. So God created a condition once again suit-able for every living creature and plant life, after the earth was madeempty by the judgment of God against Lucifer and his kingdom. ForLucifer had fallen down to the place where God took the anointing fromhim, and he became Satan, the devil; meaning an enemy of God. Andfrom that point, Satan became very angry with God.

So now Lucifer had lost the earth and his wonderful kingdom of greatbeauty, and many great animals such as what became known as di-nosaurs, and many other creatures that filled the earth at that time,along with prehistorical men (sometimes referred to as cave men). NowI want you to take special note here that the prehistorical men were notsons of God, but they were the highest order of the animal kingdom.When God judged Lucifer and overthrew his kingdom, everything per-ished, including the so-called cave men; for God sent this earth on ajourney away from the sun for many millenniums, until He began tobring it back from the abyss and began to reshape it. This planet hadbeen spinning out in darkness, away from the sun, and it was dark andfrozen to the point where nothing could survive in this condition. Thislasted for perhaps millions of years, and every living thing died in thisenvironment. But He brought it back closer to the sun where therebegan to be light and warmth. This is shown in Genesis 1:2-3. For theWord shows here that the earth was without form and void, and dark-ness was upon the face of it. Then after many millions of years, theSpirit of God began to move upon the earth again to bring it out of dark-

61HOW AND WHY GOD CREATED THE ANOINTED CHRIST

ness, and the sun began to shine upon it. This is where God began torecreate the earth, as we know it today, after God’s judgment.

So in order to leave a witness in this hour, God let mankind find fossilsof dinosaurs and many other bones, testifying about a time when God’sjudgment was upon the earth, which was long before God createdmankind and the animals that inhabit the earth in our part of God’s plan.Then as soon as God created His son, Adam, and his wife, Eve, the devilcame up with a plan to defeat God’s plan to repopulate this earth withan earthly family that was pure in God’s eyes. So the devil began hismove to destroy God’s new family; for the devil entered into a memberof the highest order of the animal kingdom called the serpent, which wasin similitude of a man to the point that his blood line and his reproduc-tive organs would match with the reproductive organs of Adam’s wife,Eve. So the serpent came to Eve in his deception and mated with her;and Cain was conceived, who was the first born of the family of Adamand Eve—although Adam was not the father of Cain, because he was il-legitimately begotten by the carnal beast-man called the serpent.

Notice the serpent was not a crawling reptile at the time he came toEve. He walked upright and had the ability to talk and communicatewith mankind. This is clearly seen in Genesis, Chapter 3. (I have writ-ten about this in other books in more detail, and they can be read onour website.) But see, after Eve had sexual intercourse with this carnalbeast-man called the serpent, she also had sexual intercourse withAdam, who was a pure son of God. Eve conceived by both the serpentand Adam. So there were twin boys born into the earth with the samemother, but with separate fathers. The serpent, the highest of the animallife, was the father of Cain; and Adam, a son of God, was the father ofAbel. Abel was known as a son of God; but Cain was known as the sonof the wicked one. The Word says in 1 John 3:11-12, “For this is the mes-sage that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Notas Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slewhe him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.” Thisscripture makes it clear that Cain came from the wicked one, which wasSatan using Mr. Serpent as a means to put a perverted seed in the earth.For this serpent was a beast that God recreated from His previous cre-ation that closely resembled mankind. He was made to be a servant toman; therefore, he could talk and communicate with man. And as wesaid, the devil inspired the serpent and he mated with Eve. And therewere twins born—Cain from the serpent, and Abel from Adam. Andwhen these two grew into manhood, Cain arose and slew Abel, and be-came the first murderer of the human race. (But later, God gave Adamand Eve another son named Seth.)

62 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

So the serpent became the link between the animal kingdom andAdam’s kingdom. But God cursed the serpent, and he became a crawl-ing reptile. Now there was no longer this link that connected this man-like beast and mankind—but the connection had already been made.And because of this hybreeding, all mankind has been diluted downthrough Cain’s linage. For after he slew his brother, Abel, God sent Caininto the land of Nod, and he started another race called the sons anddaughters of men; while Seth’s family, who were the offspring of Adam,were known as the sons of God. These two races of people (Cain’s lin-age and Seth’s linage) dwelt on this earth separately, until Genesis 6:2,which says, “the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they werefair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.” So childrenwere born unto them which caused the whole human race to be hybrid.They were neither Cain’s seed nor Seth’s seed; for they became one inthe flesh. (After this, God’s seed could only be seen by revelation.) Thiscaused wickedness so great in the earth that it repented God that Hehad ever made man. This grieved God’s heart so much that once againHe judged mankind with another time of great destruction, which wasthrough the great flood of Noah’s day. And even in this hour (and wesee many signs of it fast approaching), this earth will again be dealingwith the day of God’s wrath upon it, which will be in the great tribula-tion period, just after the rapture of the wife of the Lamb.

Now after these preliminaries of laying a foundation for this message,I want to speak about the anointing of God, as the title of my messageis, How and Why God Created the Anointed Christ.

Now, as we were previously saying, the first destruction of the earthwas way back before mankind was ever on earth. And as we look atthis, we find that God anointed this great and mighty angel, Lucifer; forhe was the anointed cherub. Lucifer is mentioned in the Book of Isaiah,Chapter 14, and in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 28, as God gave thesetwo prophets insight concerning him. So the starting of God’s plan waswith the anointing; and He anointed His greatest angel at that time, Lu-cifer. We do not know how many years it was; but eventually this angelthat was anointed of God began to get ambitions and desires that werenot of God, because he began to lift himself up above the stars. And hebecame a being that had a nature of his own. God allowed him the lib-erty to make certain decisions on his own, to make up his mind aboutwhat he would do with what God gave him. And God allowed theother angels the same liberty—to decide for themselves; and a largenumber of them followed Lucifer, and they fell with him when he fell.Revelation, Chapter 12, shows Satan with his unholy band of fallen an-gels.

63HOW AND WHY GOD CREATED THE ANOINTED CHRIST

Actually, there were three of these great angels, namely Lucifer,Michael, and Gabriel. As Lucifer went forth to gather his army together,there was a voice against it. And God always has a voice against thespirit of iniquity. Well, we find out, as I am going to read to you, thathe fell. He let iniquity come into him and he began to get puffed up.God had given Lucifer the great anointing that He gives to those thatHe places in a leadership position to assist them in their calling. Andalthough the one that His anointing is on does not always do what isright in the eyes of God, the anointing is never defiled, only the one thatmisuses the anointing is defiled. Then God takes His anointing off ofthem to give to another that He chooses, this is the Christ anointing. SoGod’s anointing that was on Lucifer was not at all destroyed, but it wasLucifer that lost his great name, and his great position. Sometimes peo-ple use the name Lucifer when referring to the devil causing evil in thisworld, with such statements as, “That is ole Lucifer causing thosethings.” I have made such comments myself. But Lucifer was not baduntil after he fell and God cast him out of His family of angels andchanged his name. He lost that name Lucifer, the bringer of light; andthe only thing he could do henceforth would be to bring false light. Andfrom then on, he was called Satan and the devil—someone to fightagainst God.

Let us begin reading in Isaiah, Chapter 14, starting with Verse 12. Itsays, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! howart thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” Isaiah isalso talking about a king here. So he used the phrase ‘son of the morn-ing,’ as Lucifer was not a son, but a spirit; for this king was doing some-thing similar to what Lucifer did. Verse 13 says, “For thou hast said inthine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars ofGod:” God did not give him the heavens. God gave him a kingdom hereon earth, a great and humble kingdom. But he wanted more; and hewanted to be more than God made him. And that began to create an-other spirit. That is why sometime before the flood, when all mankindmixed together, mankind became diluted down to the point where thisspirit of iniquity began to impersonate the Spirit of Christ so well thatfallen man began to think it was the Spirit of Christ. Paul brought thisout so clear in 2 Corinthians, Chapter 11. He said, “Satan himself istransformed into an angel of light, so do not marvel if his ministers dothe same and appear as ministers of righteousness.” But Paul recog-nized them. These ministers were right amongst the church and wereeven listening to his message. They were not out there in the field some-where, but they were partaking of his message. This was because theywere in a church that had left their first love, the Word. That is why

64 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

things happened the way they did. Paul recognized them; because hesaid, “I know that after my departing, grievous wolves shall enter inamong you, not sparing the flock. And even of your own selves shallmen arise speaking perverse things to draw disciples after themselves.”They were right among them. (Acts 20:29-30) Those that were therejust to worship the Lord may not have recognized that spirit of iniquityamong them, and Paul may not have recognized it immediately either.But soon he began to realize there was something going on that was notquite right, because men began to want to rise and draw disciples afterthemselves. That is what Satan wanted to do. He said, “I am going toexalt my throne. I want to ascend into heaven (God’s place of abode,authority).”

I thought about that when I was watching something on the news theother day. They were talking about spending so many billions of dollarsin the space program, and to eventually establish a colony on Mars.Well, that is like Satan. He was not happy with what God gave him.Today we have the best things in this world—fresh water and fresh air.Why would mankind want to reach up there in space, in unknown ter-ritory, knowing we cannot live there without a space suit? But Satancould, because he was a spirit. “I am going to move my throne fromthis earth. I have all of this, but I want more. I am going to lift up mythrone above the stars of God.” He was not happy with the earth thatGod gave him to rule over. And he wanted worship from the angels;he wanted their reverence and honor which only belonged to God.

Let us read the rest of Isaiah, Chapter 14, Verse 13. It says, “For thouhast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt (lift up) mythrone above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congrega-tion, in the sides of the north:” Verse 14, “I will ascend above the heights ofthe clouds; I will be like the most High.” Do you see what he was want-ing—‘I will be like the most High’? Well, he had plenty of power andplenty of authority. He was second in command under God, becauseGod had given him this power and authority when it was relating tothe earth. But outer space did not belong to him. So in his desire forpower, he lost it. O’ what a contrast between Jesus Christ and Lucifer;for when God gives this earth to Jesus Christ to rule and reign over inthe millennium, at the end of it, instead of saying, “I want more,” Hewill say, “I am going to deliver this kingdom back to my Father.” In theBook of 1 Corinthians 15:28, it says, “And when all things shall be subduedunto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all thingsunder him, that God may be all in all.” We are allowed to serve in certainplaces, but we do not want to try to take over the whole earth and theheavens, because that belongs to someone else; it belongs to God.

65HOW AND WHY GOD CREATED THE ANOINTED CHRIST

So that is what happened back there before God put mankind onearth. That is where the spirit of iniquity began—when Lucifer beganto want more and more than what he had a right to ask for. I have noright to ask what is on the moon. And lately, I have heard some say,“We want to find out what is on the dark side of the moon.” That is notfor us to know—because the secret things belong to God; but the thingsthat are revealed belong to the children of men.

So what happened was that Lucifer was not happy with the positionthat God gave him, which was one of the greatest positions. When itcame to the things on earth, God gave it to him to rule; but he wantedmore. And now it is time for Jesus Christ to rule. And in the millen-nium there will be one King and His name one, and He will be King ofthe earth. So in this sense, God is not going to tell Jesus to do this orthat; because His mind is one with the Father to know what to do. Un-like the denominations, which say, “We do not need God.” They do notknow they are saying that; but in a sense they are, when you show themsomething in the Word and prove it by the Word that it is one hundredpercent Word and it cannot be any other way, and they say, “That is notwhat our church teaches,” or “We believe it differently.” Well, it doesnot matter what you believe differently. If the Word says it, right thenand there is the time to change your beliefs; because you have to believethe Word. Satan wanted more and more; but the wife wants to stay inthe position that God has given us.

The reason I am bringing this in is because many times when we sayLucifer was anointed as a mighty angel, it kind of offends people be-cause of what they have been taught in the past. When someone orsomething is acting in a bad way, and it is said, “It is Lucifer doing it,”well, they do not know that Lucifer was an anointed angel that ruledfor perhaps millions of years, and he was perfect in his ways. Watch,Verse 14, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the mostHigh.” Verse 15, “Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of thepit.” We see this in Revelation, Chapter 20, where Satan is cast into thebottomless pit for one thousand years, and later into hell to be destroyedthere. Now keep in mind that Isaiah is comparing this king to Luciferas he was tested and fell.

So what I want to show you is this anointing that later came into God’sSon, Jesus, and it began at that time to be known as the Christ anointing;because the Christ anointing became a part of God’s own Son, by takingon His attributes. And yes, this was the anointing that God gave to Lu-cifer that he lost. And then when God created Adam, this anointing cameupon him, and he was also tried and tested. And, yes, Adam yielded tothe temptation, even though he knew better. And since he knew better

than to listen to Eve; it was as though Adam said, “I would rather livewith Eve in her world, than live in my world without her.” So he ate ofthe tree of the knowledge of good and evil without it being connectedto the tree of life, which went against God’s original plan; and Adamfell. Therefore, because of the fall, we were born in sin and shaped ininiquity and came into the world speaking lies. So we did not get theproper birth into the world which was originally planned of God. Thatis the reason mankind needs a new birth.

This was unheard of before Jesus Christ told Nicodemus, “You mustbe born again.” That is why Nicodemus did not know anything abouta new birth. He came to Jesus by night and said, “Good master, whatmust I do to have eternal life?” Jesus said, “Except you be born again,you cannot see the kingdom of God.” That so shocked Nicodemus, thathe said, “Born again? How can I be born again? Can I enter a secondtime into my mother’s womb?” Jesus said, “No. That which is flesh isflesh, but that which is spirit is Spirit.” Jesus was talking about spiritualthings. He asked Nicodemus, “If you cannot understand natural things,how are you are going to understand spiritual things?” (John, Chapter 3)

So we see that Jesus was a man whom this Christ anointing came uponand into; and Christ began to take on certain attributes of Jesus. Andnow the titles Jesus Christ and the Messiah can be correctly exchanged;but not before Jesus became one with Christ. So now Jesus Christ canalso be called the Messiah, because the anointing without measure wasgiven to Him, making Him that present day Christ. (John 3:31-36)

This was not so in the Old Testament; because Christ did not take ona human nature until God’s Son, Jesus, was given the Spirit of Christwithout measure—as Christ became a very part of God’s Word Son,Jesus. Now Christ and Jesus are united perfectly in one. It was onlythen that Jesus the carpenter became Jesus the Christ. And only thendid Christ begin to pick up the human attributes of Jesus. Christworked through Adam, and through Moses, and was even seen as theRock in the wilderness. See, that was Christ the anointing. But at thattime, Christ was in no way the Messiah. But by this unification of theWord made flesh and the Christ anointing, Jesus Christ became the Mes-siah.

When Paul wrote about Christ, he said that Christ was that Rock inthe wilderness that followed Israel and gave them meat to eat and waterto drink. (1 Corinthians 10:4) God used Moses to smite the rock andthe water came out, showing what comes out of us. That is why Jesussaid, “Out of your bellies shall flow rivers of living water.” Then in Rev-elation, Chapter 22, this anointing that came upon the espoused virgin,shown in Revelation, Chapter 10, gets the virgin married to Jesus Christ,

67HOW AND WHY GOD CREATED THE ANOINTED CHRIST

making us the wife of King Jesus, who is now our Husband. So nowthis plan of God has developed to the point that we became the tree oflife. Here, the tree is called her. The wife brings forth her fruit. Ibrought out the revelation of this in depth in a message I recentlypreached, entitled, Revelational Faith of the Operation of God, showing thatit takes revelational faith for us to bring forth in our flesh that whichwas with God from the beginning.

By revelation, we see the operation of God go from the twelve Jewishapostles into another part of His working, as the Apostle Paul wasstruck down by a bright light (a few years after Pentecost) while on hisway to the city called Damascus to persecute the believers of JesusChrist. This is when Paul recognized that Jesus was the Christ. Thiswas perfectly in accordance with God’s plan to create a wife for His Son.Here Paul reached his hand (spiritually speaking) into the side of ChristJesus and took one of His ribs (which was the creating of Paul’s mes-sage), and began to call out a people to be espoused to Jesus Christ tobe His wife. But before the marriage took place, His virgin fell from thepurity of the Word, shown in 2 Corinthians 11:2-3—so the marriage waspostponed. But be of good cheer, for Paul left a prophecy about thesounding of the last trumpet (1 Corinthians 15:51-52), telling about amessage that would come at the end time to finish the job of getting thevirgin married to our Husband and King, the Lord Jesus Christ. Andthis message is the last trumpet sounding. And right here at the endtime, we were baptized into the fullness of Christ after God brought usthrough seven church ages, at which time God was laying away othersaints that were to be part of the wife, waiting for this hour when theywill live again in the resurrection.

In Revelation, Chapter 10, when Christ came down from heaven inthe fullness of His Spirit, we were baptized into that fullness and re-ceived the attributes for the wife that Christ took on while livingthrough the Word made flesh, the Lord Jesus Christ. This did not hap-pen in any other time, nor is this Word for any other people. He didnot become one with anyone else back through time. Yes, there was ananointing on others; even Lucifer himself was anointed. It is the sameSpirit, the same anointing that we call Christ—although this anointingin the Old Testament was not called Christ. The word Christ was notrecorded in the Old Testament, but in 1 Corinthians 10:4 the ApostlePaul called this anointing, which was on different ones through time,Christ.

There were three major ones that the Christ anointing came to, whomGod gave the title deed to this earth to rule. First it was given to Lucifer,and he was a failure before mankind ever came upon the earth. He got

68 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

exalted, and God took back the title deed to this earth, and He took Hisanointing off of him. Then he became God’s enemy. And then it cameupon God’s created son, Adam. And the first trial that Adam wentthrough, as far as we can see by the scriptures, Adam chose to go a dif-ferent route. Adam chose to eat of the tree of the knowledge of goodand evil without waiting on God to tell him when to eat. So from him,God took back the title deed to this earth, along with the anointing. Butthen God sent forth His Word in a prophecy spoken by the prophet Isa-iah, “Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a virginshall conceive and bear a son and He shall be called Immanuel (mean-ing God with us).” And this prophecy came upon a virgin named Mary,and it was sent of God by the angel named Gabriel, who said unto her,“You shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a child.” And ac-cording to the Book of Matthew, when Joseph saw Mary was big withchild, he went about to find a way of putting her away without havingher stoned to death. Then here came the angel back and said untoJoseph in a dream, “Joseph, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife;for what is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. For she shall bringforth a child, and you shall call his name, Jesus.” He gave Joseph theprivilege to announce His name. So now God had a Son that the Spiritof Christ could be perfectly joined with—Jesus, God’s only begottenSon.

So when John baptized Jesus, the Spirit of God (the Christ anointing)came into Jesus, and the Spirit was given to Him without measure andwas solidified in Him. And through His faithfulness in doing the willof God, by going to Calvary’s cross and shedding His blood (He gaveHis own life in order to pay the sin debt that was upon us all, as well asthe earth), He was given possession of the title deed to redemption.And as we have covered in our book, entitled, The Chronicles of the TenthChapter of the Book of Revelation and the Eating of a Bitter Meal, it showsthat our Lord Jesus has now given to the Lamb’s wife, the little bookpart of the Book of Redemption, because it is only for the wife. Andnow His life is living itself through us, with all His attributes, His naturebeing manifested and put on display again for the glory of God, so thatwe shall sit by His side and be for His pleasure in the millennium.

Now let us go to the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 28, starting with Verses11-12. And here, Ezekiel picks up the same thought that is recorded inIsaiah concerning Lucifer; but he adds more details. It says, “Moreoverthe word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamenta-tion upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thousealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.” And one of thethings that Isaiah, Chapter 53, tells us about Jesus is that when we shall

69HOW AND WHY GOD CREATED THE ANOINTED CHRIST

see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. In other words,He was not someone flowery. But I tell you, there was never a morebeautiful character in all the Bible, and we are part of it. But this onethat Ezekiel was prophesying about was perfect in beauty; but he justcould not handle it. So being beautiful can get you into trouble, if thatbeauty causes you to think too highly of yourself. But the point is, thisangel was perfect in beauty. And, likewise, that king of Tyrus, he triedto dress up with all his jewels and a crown on his head, and he thoughthe was perfect in beauty and that no one else was like him. He wasanointed by this same spirit of iniquity. Verse 13, “Thou hast been in Edenthe garden of God; (Now this king had never been in this Eden, whichwas before Adam’s Eden; but that spirit had been there.) every preciousstone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, theonyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in theday that thou wast created.” Now watch, do not miss this. Verse 14, “Thouart the anointed cherub that covereth;” Anointed cherub—that is an angel.Well, who anointed him? Almighty God anointed him to do the job thatHe had created him to do; but he failed and brought iniquity into theworld. And that spirit is still here today.

This was like Judas Iscariot. He carried the money bag; and he was afellow that really had things going for him. But all the while, there wasa hidden something that only Jesus could see. Remember, in John,Chapter 6, Jesus said to His disciples, “I have chosen twelve of you, andone of you is a devil.” See, no one else saw what Judas was. Judas waswith them when Jesus sent them out to heal the sick and to raise thedead and to cast out devils, and Jesus Christ did not limit Judas’ power;because Judas was one of them. But soon, he began to get lifted up, justlike Lucifer. When Judas saw things that were going on that he thoughtwere not like they ought to be, he went to the high priest and said, “Ican deliver this man into your hands for enough money.” And theybargained with Judas and gave him thirty pieces of silver. Do you seewhere his mind was? When it came down to the time of testing, heshowed his true colors. Then again in John, Chapter 13, Jesus told them,“One of you shall betray me.” Different ones asked, “Is it I?” ThenJesus said, “He is the one I shall give a sop.” And when He had dippedthe sop, He gave it to Judas Iscariot. Then Satan entered into Judas, andJesus said unto him, “What you have to do, go do quickly.”

Many times, someone will go for a while, but when it comes down tothe time of testing, they fall. So in the time of testing, we do not wantto wavier. We just want to stick with the Word. When persecutioncomes, stick with the Word regardless. That is when Judas fell; and then

Page 71: BEN HOWARD - Amazon S3 · OTHER BOOKS BY BEN HOWARD.....239 AUDIO AND VIDEO SERMONS—1967-2018.....251. THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME 7 This Testimony is a Witness

70 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

he later went out and hung himself. To show you what Satan does,sometimes he will use someone until he gets them used up; and thenhe will dump them, because he does not have any more need for thatparticular person. Once the Pharisees had made their bargain withJudas to sell out Jesus, he came back and tried to give back the moneyto them; but they refused. Judas said, “I repent. I did wrong. I soldout innocent blood.” Do you know what they said? They said, “Seethou to that. It is not our problem; it is yours.” Yes, Judas repented,and tried to get them to take the money, but they would not. So hethrew the money on the floor and went out and hung himself; becausewhen Satan was finished using him, he felt so remorseful and emptyand could not live with himself. Satan had used him up.

That is just like Revelation 17:16-17, with the ten horns (the ten kingsof Europe, the ten nations), they give their power over to the papacy,the pope. They will give their power and he will pull the strings. TheBible says that she (Catholicism) rode that ten horn beast. In otherwords, she pulled the reigns and they did what she wanted. But thensomething happened. It came into their hearts and they agreed togetherto destroy the mother whore. They did not need her anymore—“We canall do better without her.” Now the system becomes not so much a re-ligious system but a political system. Again, the point here is Satan usessomething until it no longer serves his purpose, then he destroys it.And then he moves on to another plan.

Notice that in Ezekiel 28:14, “Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth,”Lucifer was anointed with the anointing that God anointed His mes-sengers with all the way through time. And this anointing was neverdefiled; although, sometimes the men that God anointed did defilethemselves. The anointing is always pure—but watch what happenedto those that were anointed. I can tell you much about the deliveranceevangelists and those ministers in the day that we have just comethrough, how that when they began to dabble around in things thatwere totally contrary to God, they lost out. And when they did, theanointing left them. They began to preach a social gospel in order toattract the multitudes of worldly people (fallen mankind), in which theyentertain to create a good feeling, while they beg money to carry ontheir religious shows or programs, and by doing so, they have a gospelthat is polluted as well. They have that spirit of iniquity within them;which is what was really in their hearts to begin with. The anointingleft them to their own devices, and the anointing moved on to those thatwere worthy.

Now watch as we go. Verse 14 again, “Thou art the anointed cherub thatcovereth; (How did Lucifer get to be the anointed cherub?) and I have set

71HOW AND WHY GOD CREATED THE ANOINTED CHRIST

thee so:” God anointed him so that Lucifer could do the job God createdhim to do. But then he wanted to do a lot more than his job. Well, hesinned against God when iniquity came into him. God allowed himsome choices, just like He does all of us. He made the wrong choicesand did things for his own benefit; and God just pulled his anointingfrom him, and he was cast out of heaven, and he became Satan (thedevil). But notice, God anointed Lucifer; and when Lucifer sinnedagainst God, that holy anointing was taken away.

Now this anointing did not get polluted; the anointing stayed pure.So the anointing is still pure and real; and it came right on through theages. Notice the title of the message again, How and Why God Createdthe Anointed Christ. See, God brings Christ (the anointing) through time.And all the while that anointing came upon many men as an anointingfrom the most High God. So some men took it and used it for a goodreason, while others did not. And we see this all the way through theOld Testament. The prophets like Moses, used the anointing for good.But others like Balaam (a false prophet who was anointed at first withthe pure anointing from God), when he began to use it for his ownprofit, God took the pure anointing off him, and Satan anointed himwith his perverted spirit that he had formulated into a false anointingthat looked to fallen mankind like the pure anointing from God. Satandid such a masterful job in transforming his own spirit into this anoint-ing that only the seed of God can tell the difference. Jesus Christ Him-self spoke of this in the Book of Matthew 24:23-24, saying, “For thereshall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and won-ders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Thenif any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.” Andas I mentioned earlier, Paul spoke of this anointing from Satan, whenspeaking of those that were against his message, shown in 2 Corinthians11:13-15, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming them-selves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is trans-formed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers alsobe transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be accordingto their works.” Paul called this anointing of Satan the spirit of iniquity,which to all but the elected, looks like, and in some cases acts like, theChrist anointing that is on his false preachers and their followers. Butwe praise God for the good prophets, which include Ezekiel and Daniel,just to name a couple.

Take Daniel for instance, when he had been taken captive in Babylon,he was thrown into a lion’s den, and he relied upon that anointing tokeep those lions’ mouths shut. Then there were three of God’s anointedmen who were thrown into the fiery furnace; but the fire did not burn

them, because there was a fourth man seen with them in the fire—thatwas the Christ, being shown in the form of the Son of God, which wasto come to be a deliverer for them. This was the same anointing all theway through time; but it had not taken on human attributes yet, becauseit had not come into someone to abide in and to become one with, andit could only become one with the Word.

See, Christ came and took His abode in Jesus. And then Jesus Christwent through all the testing and trials, triumphing over them all. TheSpirit of Christ was given to Him without measure. In other words, thevery Christ came into the Son of God (the Word made flesh). It is im-portant here to understand that. This soul was created by the life ofJesus during His first thirty years as He lived a life that pleased God.So that is where the soul of God’s Son came into being. Now the anoint-ing had found its resting place in Jesus, as Christ without measure, andbecame a part of all that Jesus was; even to becoming a part of His verysoul, with all its attributes. And now we are part of it all.

So finally this anointing found what it had been searching for. (Haveyou found what you have been searching for?) This anointing did notfind it in Lucifer, nor Adam. It did not find it in Moses. But when Jesuswas baptized, the very Christ came into Him; and from that time for-ward, He began to be called Jesus the Christ. He became everythingthat was needed to be the Messiah. (Like the song my wife Barbarajeansings, which is a very timely song, entitled, Is This Not the Christ?) Thatis what is said when the works of Christ are seen so much that we donot even see the works of man. That is why Jesus had only one doctrine.Those religious Pharisees began to question Him about His doctrine,saying, “Moses said this. Moses said that. What is your doctrine?”Jesus said, “I have one doctrine, and that is to do what the Father showsme.” And it came on through, and this same anointing came into us,and we came into it; thus showing forth the fullness of Christ, the wifeof the Lamb, who has one doctrine—we only do what the Lord Jesus,our Husband, bids us to do.

First, Christ had to come into the very Son of God to take on that Wordin human nature, as Jesus was a Word human being. So when the Spiritof Christ came into Jesus, then they were inseparable. The soul of Jesusand the Christ were walking here unbound. Even when Jesus wentdown to preach to the spirits in prison, the Christ was still with Him.Yes, Jesus’ body was laying there in the tomb—but He came back aboutthree days later and entered back into that body. And after the resur-rection, Jesus Christ could come into the natural realm. He could eat;yet He could appear and disappear. One time, He just appeared in theroom, the doors being shut, and sat down with the disciples and ate,

73HOW AND WHY GOD CREATED THE ANOINTED CHRIST

and then disappeared as suddenly as He appeared. See, that is why Hecould be both Jesus and Christ.

The Christ started way back there and anointed the men in the OldTestament—but not a one did Christ come into and take on their nature,until God’s Son, Jesus, came on the scene. In the chronicles of the Wordof God, it shows that God created a body for Christ called Melchizedek,whom the scripture tells about in the Book of Hebrews, “He had neitherfather nor mother, nor the beginning of days, nor the ending of life.”He had no offspring, no genealogy. This was a body that Christ couldwork through, but he could not become one with in the sense of becom-ing part of the human race, because this Melchizedek was not born of awoman. For he was a created being that God used in type to show whatwas coming in our Lord Jesus Christ. (I go into depth on this in twomessages, entitled, Christ the Great Connecter Between Melchizedek andJesus, and Uttering the Things Concerning Melchizedek that Needed to BeTaught Again, which are chapters in our book, The Wife’s Covenant.) Butwhen the fullness of time was come, God sent His Son born of a womanso that He could be born of the human race, and He could be temptedand tested in all points like we are, yet come out in complete victory.(Galatians, Chapter 4) Now what God was doing, He was buildingsomething for us to be baptized into, a body that has all those attributeswithin it. And that we have been baptized into and have become thewife of the Lamb.

Yes, there was one man that had it all—the man, Jesus Christ. So asthe fullness of Christ came in Revelation, Chapter 10, we were baptizedinto the fullness and have now become bone of His bone and flesh ofHis flesh. Paul prophesied about this message of bone of His bone andflesh of His flesh, the last trumpet of God that is now here on the sceneand is sounding forth through the wife of the Lamb, saying in 1Corinthians, Chapter 15, “The trump of God shall sound, and the deadin Christ are going to rise and we shall be changed in a moment, in thetwinkling of an eye.” Then in 1 Thessalonians, Chapter 4, he said, “Wewhich are alive and remain till this takes place are not going to precedethose that have already gone by the way of the grave.” They are part ofit. They fulfilled their part in their time of the building of the body.They went down dressed in white raiment; but when they are raisedfrom out of the grave and come forth, they are dressed in fine linen,clean and white, which is the righteousness of God. And we will gettogether here and go up to be with our Lord Jesus.

So not only did God have a Son that was tested and tried, but in doingso, the Christ that was one with Jesus the Word was tried also—as Christwas part of Jesus. And what Jesus felt, Christ felt the same thing, thus

74 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

cementing their oneness with God the Father. So this anointing wastried along with Jesus, because Christ (the anointing) was ordained tobe one with mankind through the Holy Ghost. That is the reason Christtook on the nature part of Jesus, so that one cannot separate Jesus andthe Christ, as far as separate attributes one from the other. And nowChrist the wife is tried from time to time as God sees fit in His perfectplan.

All of those things are now in Christ the wife, as well as in God’s Son.A great mystery here is that God separated the feminine attributes fromJesus Christ, as He did when He created a wife for His first son, Adam.This creation of us, the wife, did not diminish God’s Son, the Lord JesusChrist, because we became bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. Itjust brought great pleasure and completeness to Jesus Christ and toGod’s plan because He wanted Jesus, His Son, to have a wife, just as Hedid for His first son, Adam.

That is the reason the wife of the Lord Jesus Christ is not going to sin;because we have already been redeemed as was laid in the plan of God.But just the same, He gives everyone a trial and a test. This trumpetmessage is your trial, it is your test when it comes to this full Word ofGod, this full anointing. What are you going to do with it? Are yougoing to accept it as the most precious thing in your life? Is it is yourvery own life?—“I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet it isnot I living, but it is Christ. And these things you see me do, it is Christliving in me, and I am living in Him.” Nothing else matters, becausewe are growing in grace, growing up into the Head. The wife that iswalking here, demonstrates and represents the perfect man, the LordJesus Christ, because we were baptized into the fullness of His Spirit.

Someone called and said to me, “If the fullness of Christ has takenplace, then no one else can get into the body—it is full!” Well, the pointis, Christ is in His fullness, and the members are growing. And this isin no way saying no one else can be baptized into Christ, as this messageis what baptizes into the fullness. And that is only by revelation. Thenwe grow up to become what He has ordained us to be. The body ofChrist is now more than just a spiritual body; because the body has be-come flesh and bones in a people, making them the tangible Christ andnot just in a spiritual form. And the body had to have the baptism offullness in order to change forms from just spiritual into flesh andbones. That is us—here in a tangible body.

How and why did God create the anointed Christ? So this anointingcould become one with His wife, who is part of God’s family. ThoughHe is a Spirit, when He put His Word forth, that Word came forth andsolidified in us, as Christ came back to earth in the fullness of His Spirit

75HOW AND WHY GOD CREATED THE ANOINTED CHRIST

to give us the second benefit, to marry us to our Lord Jesus, and tochange our mortal bodies. Paul wrote about it in the Book of Romans,Chapter 8, about the redemption of the body. And also in Ephesians,Chapter One, he said that we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of prom-ise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of thepurchased possession, as we were waiting for the day of our physicaltranslation. And now there is a purchased possession here—there is apeople baptized into the fullness of Christ, and we are living in the rev-elation of the change. Therefore, we are not slack; for we are growingin grace. We are praising God, saying, “I will take Jesus. I will take theright way, the way of the Lord.” He did not make us do it; but He knewwe would. He knew we would make the right choice. Sometimes inthe human realm, we make the wrong choices; but somewhere downthe line, it will all work out for us.

So now this message clears up the question of whether God anointedLucifer, as we have been asked, “You mean the devil was anointed ofGod?” No, but Lucifer, that mighty angel was; for he was not the devilat that time, but he became the devil when he fell. Yes, Lucifer fell, un-like our dear Savior, Jesus Christ; because during the time of His trials,He was faithful in all things. God gave Jesus the choice about whetherto give His life or not. See all the testing? And God knew Jesus wouldmake the right choice. Every time the devil came, Jesus said, “It is writ-ten—I am going to worship God and serve Him. Nothing else matters.”God allowed the devil to take Jesus up to a high mountain, to show Himall the kingdoms of the world. The devil said, “All of these I will givethee, if you will fall down and worship me.” Jesus said, “It is written,worship the Lord thy God, and only Him serve.” The devil said, “TheWord says, He will give His angels charge over thee. If you be the Sonof God, cast yourself down from the temple.” But Jesus said, “It is writ-ten, thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God.” And through all those daysof temptation, the angels could not come to help Jesus. Then after thattook place, and these trials were finished, the devil left Jesus for a sea-son. (Luke 4:1-13) Then the angels came and ministered unto Him. Hemade the right choice. Then in Matthew 26:50-56, after Judas had be-trayed Him, and the religious leaders had come to take Him away to becrucified, Jesus said, “I could call twelve legions of angels at this mo-ment and save myself. I do not have to die.” But He died so that wewould not have to die. Yes, He went to the cross for us. He drank thebitter cup alone. That is why I love Him so much, and appreciate Him.Jesus paid it all; all to Him we owe. Sin had left a crimson stain on usall, but Jesus washed us white as snow. God bless you.

Heavenly Father, thank you for your love, goodness, and your Word. Thank

Last evening I spoke about how and why God created the anointedChrist, where we took the Christ anointing back to the beginning ofGod’s creation when He created His angelic family. So I am going tocontinue along this same line, showing that before the world was, theanointing was there with God. This anointing was a special part of theSpirit of God, just as there was a special part of God’s Word that broughtforth His Son, Jesus. And it is from this same part of the Word and Spiritthat God took and created the worlds. This is shown in the Book ofEphesians 3:9 and also in the Book of Hebrews 11:3. And now God has,through this same special part of His Word and Spirit, created His Son’swife here at the end time. So today I want to take a thought and title it,Christ Walks the Earth Again, Unbound.

Now as we look back at this anointing, we see that it was used in di-verse manners as it came upon different ones through time. (Hebrews1:1) First, we see it was with Lucifer, God’s anointed angel, who wasthe bringer of light, the morning star, the dawning of a new day; but hefell and became Satan (the devil). Remember, he was not called Satanuntil after he fell and became the one that we know now as Satan, whowas at first called Lucifer. He was the angel that brought light. He wasright up close to God in the sense that he was the leading angel, theruler of the earthly part of God’s kingdom; and he had much power. Inthe Book of Ezekiel 28:14, it says, “Thou art the anointed cherub that cov-ereth; and I have set thee so: (Now I want you to notice, this anointedbeing was the anointed cherub, a mighty angel, anointed. And Godsaid, “I,” “I was the one that did this. I was the one that anointed him.”)thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down inthe midst of the stones of fire.” Watch Verse 15, “Thou wast perfect in thyways from the day that thou was created, till iniquity was found in thee.” Nowwhat we see here is a perfect being; absolutely perfect, absolutely pow-erful. He was perfect in his ways. And that goes beyond what we couldsay about ourselves outside of Christ Jesus. Because God allowed us tocome the way of mankind, and we have to learn as we go.

Notice Lucifer was perfect, but had never been tried. And when hewas tried, he fell from that perfect state of being the bringer of light tobeing the enemy (adversary) of God. What a difference from God’s Son,Jesus Christ; for He overcame every trial and was made perfect by thethings which He suffered. (Hebrews 2:10) Jesus Christ was differentbecause it was in Him to please the Father. That is why He said, “I come

to do the will of my Father.” Remember, when Jesus was praying there in the Garden of Gethse-

mane, He knew that religious men were coming to get Him and thatHe would be crucified, but the human part of Jesus did not want to die;especially at this time and in this way. In the Book of Matthew 26:39,Jesus began to pray, saying, “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup passfrom me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” Jesus prayed threetimes; then afterwards, He was ready to go to the cross. Verses 49-54says, “And forthwith he (Judas, who had betrayed Him) came to Jesus, andsaid, Hail, master; and kissed him. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, whereforeart thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. And,behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew hissword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear. Thensaid Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they thattake the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot nowpray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions ofangels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?”Jesus could have called twelve legions of angels and saved Himself.That was His authority; God gave these angels unto Him, and theywould have delivered Him from death. He did not have to die. ButHe, above all things, obeyed the will of God and drank the bitter cup ofthe baptism of death so that we would not have to die.

Notice again, Lucifer was in the perfect light, but he was untried asfar as standing for the plan of God. But when God tried him, he failedto stay humble and do God’s bidding. So God took this light and HisSpirit of anointing from Lucifer, and he became Satan, an enemy of God.This light has since been given to some degree to many others throughtime. But no one became this perfect light until our Lord Jesus wasgiven the Spirit and light without measure. And He stayed true to thislight anointing through every test. Now God gives light (revelationalunderstanding) of the fact that the faith of the Son of God has alreadybeen through the fire and has been made pure and available unto us,the wife of the Lamb. (Galatians 2:20) So we do not get the light in itsvirgin or untried state; but we receive the light and the faith of our LordJesus, which has already been tried and tested in every way.

So Lucifer’s power became his trial. He said, “I want to lift my throneup; I want it to be above the stars. I want to be like unto the most HighGod.” The Book of Isaiah, Chapter 14, also gives witness of Lucifer’sfall, saying in Verse 12, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son ofthe morning!” “What a great holy angel you are; but how did you fall,Lucifer?” Now Lucifer was not the devil, yet. Lucifer was a mightyangel, perfect in his ways. In no way could one touch him; he was a

mighty holy angel, and this mighty angel was anointed. This is the sameanointing (before it took on a human soul through the man Jesus) thatcame on the many different men throughout time. And whatever theperson did who was anointed, it did not defile the anointing.

Some people were anointed to do certain things; like Saul, the King ofIsrael. But he disobeyed God and became lifted up. This is what wecall ‘letting it go to his head.’ God made him a great king. He was hum-ble to begin with, but when he realized the power that he had, he beganto be disobedient to God and His plan, and he lost that anointing, andGod anointed David in his stead. The Bible does not say that Saul wasa man after God’s own heart. But David was different; he did not justhave an anointing upon him to be king, but there was something in hisheart. In the Book of Psalms, we read of how David praised God. Itwas in David’s heart to praise God, whether he felt the anointing or not.There was just something in him, and he could not help but to be whathe was. And it is the same for us, we cannot help but to be what weare.

So it was in David’s heart to praise God and do His will, even beforehe became king or anyone knew about him. When he was out lookingafter the sheep, he played on a harp. One could find David out in thefield praising God and rejoicing, even when there was no one out therebut him—but God saw him. God called David ‘a man after my ownheart.’ (Acts 13:22) And when God anointed him to be king, thatanointing did not go to waste; because David was mighty in battle andtook all the land for Israel. God told David through the prophetNathan, “When your days are fulfilled, I will raise up your son to sit onyour throne. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.”This was talking about David’s son, Solomon; but it was also a prophecyof our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Samuel, Chapter 7)

Through the physical earthly side of Jesus, He had a connection withthe Jews in that He came as a promise that God made unto Abrahamand the fathers that He would send a Savior to Israel. And God fulfilledthat promise in and through the Lord Jesus Christ. Now watch this—but in Christ; see, Christ is neither Jew nor Gentile, but Jesus the manwas still in the earthly realm.

In the Book of John, Chapter 4, a Samaritan woman came to drawwater from Jacob’s well; and she found Jesus sitting there. He said untoher, “Woman, give me water to drink.” She said unto Him, “Sir, how isit that you ask drink of me, thou being a Jew; for the Jews have nothingto do with Samaritans, and you ask me for drink?” (No, Jesus was nother kind; but grace intervened.) She did not know that there was moreto this man than just being a Jew. There was the Christ in Him; and that

Christ is neither Jew nor Gentile. That is why the wife of the Lamb isneither Jew nor Gentile. We are the wife of the Lamb. This is the iden-tity that we took on when the Lord Jesus married us. And He took onan identity to us; being not just our Lord and Savior, but now our Hus-band and King. And Jesus as a natural King will rule in and aroundJerusalem. The Jews are God’s natural people; but the wife is from allpeoples, nations, and tongues. The many member body is one, and na-tionality does not matter one way or the other. Now here is the anoint-ing—the wife of the Lamb in fullness.

Continuing with Isaiah, Chapter 14, Verse 12, “O Lucifer, son of themorning!” The light bringer, the dawning of a new day—that is whenthe sun rises. It starts a new thing. Lucifer was part of the very begin-ning of God’s creation. He was made the leader, the greatest of God’screated beings and very close to God; but not equal with God. But hewas so close to God that he wanted to lift his throne above the stars. “Iam not happy to just be here; I can be greater.” Well, that was iniquity.And then it says, “how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weakenthe nations!” Verse 13, “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend intoheaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:” He is saying, “I wantto be up there where everyone can see my throne as the world turns.(Some preachers want a pulpit high above the congregation. I wonderwhy?) And there will be no throne higher than mine.” God had givenhim a powerful position; but he wanted more as time went by. “I willsit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:” Verse14, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”That is what he wanted. He was not happy staying where God putHim. He did not want God to have more say about things than he did.He wanted to be equal with God—“I will be like unto the most HighGod.” Verse 15, “Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of thepit.”

Let us not mistake Satan with the one he was at the beginning—Lucifer; a mighty angel that was perfect in his ways, who had theanointing of God. He was anointed to rule over the earth. How did heget that anointing? God gave it to him; for God made Lucifer all thathe was. But then God allowed a temptation to come to him as Lucifersaw how much power he had, and he began to say, “I want to be likeunto the most High God. I am not quite happy just to be down herelooking after the earth, being the god of this earth. I want more. I havegot to the place where I am not satisfied with the earth; I want to go upthere above the stars and rule the universe, also.” That is when hebegan to get pride. And not only that, but he got many of the angels tofollow him and to rebel. That is the demons, fallen angels. But many

of God’s angels stayed true to God and His ways.Michael was one of the angels who stayed true to God. God anointed

him to be a warrior when all of this took place, and there was war inheaven. God gave every angel a choice as whether to follow His waysor listen to Lucifer (who had now become Satan as he began to fall) andfollow his pernicious and iniquity-laden ways. So Michael and theother angels defeated Satan and cast him out of heaven, along with hisangels that kept not their first estate of being righteous, but had becomeevil spirits, better known as demons. Jesus spoke of this in the Book ofLuke 10:18, “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall fromheaven.” So this mighty angel is not a mighty angel anointed of Godanymore. In the Book of Revelation, Chapter 12, it shows this fallenangel has certain access to the heavens just above this earthly realm.This is spoken about in the Book of Ephesians, Chapter 2, where Satan’sspirit is called the prince of the power of the air (or the prince of the world),saying that it is ‘the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobe-dience.’ The Bible tells us that in the tribulation period there will bethree woe’s—“Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth by reasonof the great dragon being cast down into the earth.” Here, he goes tomake war with God’s people again; but Michael and his angels defeatSatan. He is seen in Revelation, Chapter 12, as a great red dragon, andhis angels are cast out of the heavens with him into the earth, and theygo to make war with the remnant of those that are saved, and those thathave the commandment of God, and those that have the testimony ofJesus.

There are many Jews that keep the commandments of God and holdon to them. So what we see by the opening of the fifth seal, shown inRevelation, Chapter 6, are those that were killed by Hitler, Eichmann,and others—those that were true servants doing what was revealed tothem. They were killed for the Word of God and for the testimony theyheld, not for the testimony of Jesus Christ. They were not ‘born again’as we call it; but their souls were alive. In Revelation 6:9-11, it says,“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw (the first part of the fifth seal)under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and forthe testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Howlong, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on themthat dwell on the earth? (“Look what they have done to us! And the onlything we were doing was trying to keep your law.”) And white robes weregiven unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should restyet for a little season until (the second part of the fifth seal) their fellowser-vants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be ful-filled.” So there is coming a great slaughter for Israel again during the

second part of the 70th Week of Daniel. But first, there is a great victoryas Israel takes possession of all their land.

To now show you this same spirit that was on Lucifer after he fell,there is a man here that Satan will incarnate himself in, who will sit inthe restored temple in Jerusalem and be worshipped as God. I amspeaking here of the pope, to put it plainly. He will rise up and sit inthe temple to be worshipped as God. This will take place about themiddle of the 70th Week of Daniel. That is the same thing that was backthere in the prehistoric age. Satan through this man will be worshippedas God by fallen mankind in that dreadful time. And when his time isup, God will turn His judgement loose, and He will clean that templeand get it ready for the time when the Lord Jesus comes back to sit onthe throne. That is when the great millennial reign begins.

So the Spirit of Christ came all the way through time, anointingmankind (such as the prophets) to do the will of God. But the spirit ofantichrist formed its own anointing to combat and oppose the trueanointing of God. And Satan knows how the true anointing works, be-cause he had it before his fall. Therefore, he can anoint people and theywill think it is the real Spirit of Christ. But the wife of the Lamb knowsthe difference by revelation.

Here I want to bring in a night vision that Barbarajean had. She said,“In the night vision, Ben and I were walking together in a place, and we noticedserpents in the woodwork of the walls, trying to hide themselves. They werenot easily seen; but we could see them. They were not moving around, butwere very still, thinking we could not see them. They were trying to disguisethemselves. Then I saw a cabinet drawer, and I opened it, and suddenly a ser-pent came out; and it ran away from me, and went to hide again. I exposed itwhen I opened the drawer.

These serpents were unseen by the ordinary person; because it takesa revelation to see the serpents in the woodwork. It is people that are mo-tivated by a religious spirit, controlled by the spirit of iniquity; the samespirit that Lucifer produced that caused him to say, “I am going to liftmy throne above the stars. I am going to be liken unto the most High,”instead of being humble and carrying out what God gave him to do.He was already blessed. He was already the anointed cherub. But aftera while, because of his perversion and disobedience to God, here iswhere the spirit of iniquity came into being.

When Barbarajean told of her dream, she described these serpents inthe woodwork of the walls as so much blended with the walls that itwould be easy to be fooled. And that is why one needs a trained eye tosee it. There are certain serpents that blend with the leaves in thewoods, and you would never know it unless you knew what to look for.

83CHRIST WALKS THE EARTH AGAIN, UNBOUND

That is the way the spirit of iniquity does, it tries to blend with its sur-roundings; but the wife of the Lamb is not deceived by it, even thoughit looks and sounds like the real Spirit of Christ. But we have that stillsmall voice that is within us to show us the spirit that we do not feelright about is not right. That is why we do not feel right about it—be-cause it is not right, it is not pure. We feel troubled, because it is thespirit of iniquity that is trying to disguise itself as the Spirit of Christ.These serpents in the woodwork that were trying to disguise themselvesare people who have the spirit of iniquity and are mistaking it for theSpirit of Christ. This is their deception, not ours, because we can seethem by revelation and reject that spirit.

In 2 Corinthians, Chapter 11, Paul said, “Marvel not; for Satan himselfis transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing ifhis ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;whose end shall be according to their works”—because that is what thedevil once was, the angel of light. But he fell, and then all this perversionstarted. And Paul is telling how that in his day, Satan was anointingministers (as well as others that were not ministers) to go forth with thatfalse light. They heard what Paul said, so they repeated what Paul said.You can hear what I say and repeat what I say. But if God’s anointingis not there, which gives us this revelation of the mystery of marriage,of being changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, then all youhave is the dead letter of the Word. Because it takes that revelation tomake this trumpet message come alive and live for you. Otherwise, itis dead Word or sleeping Word.

Notice again, the title of the message, Christ Walks the Earth Again, Un-bound. I am talking about Christ, the anointing, the true Spirit of God.It is the Christ anointing that came (all the way through) on Adam, onMoses, and on many others. But when Jesus came, here came a manthat this anointing could come into and become part of. For the one thatChrist came into had to be pure Word. And Christ found the one toanoint whom He had been waiting for, as He entered into Jesus andtook His abode in Him.

It was witnessed by John the Baptist when the heavens opened andthe Spirit of Christ came down in the form of a dove and God gave Jesusthe Spirit without measure. In other words, God just poured the Spiritof Christ into Jesus to be a part of Him, knowing and having confidencein His Son that He would do what was right and glorify Him with thisanointing. After this, God let Him go through all those hard trials. Youwill find that in the Book of Luke, and also in the Book of Matthew,where Jesus was tempted and tested of Satan who offered Him theworld; and after His trials, He came out of it all with complete victory.

84 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

See, Satan had a master plan to take over all of this world again; buthe fell miserably in his plan. He offered to Jesus everything that he oncehad. Satan said, “All these things I will give thee, if thou will fall downand worship me.” Jesus said unto him, “Get thee hence, Satan: for it iswritten, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thouserve.” See, with each temptation of the devil, Jesus came back at himwith, “It is written.” And that Word which was written came alive! See,that was Christ walking here in a vessel that could meet the test of God.Therefore, the man Jesus took on all the attributes of Christ, and Christtook on the attributes of God’s Word Son, Jesus, which connected Godand man together perfectly. So the attributes that we have are of God.They were in God from the beginning; but He gave them to His Son.And when His Son died on the cross, He came back in the first leg ofHis spiritual coming in the form of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pen-tecost, and He began to give them to His people. Well, Satan did notstop with Jesus; he still tries to tempt the Christ, which is now walkingthe earth in the wife of the Lamb. But we do not fall for his counterfeit,impersonating, spirit of iniquity.

In the Old Testament, this anointing was not called Christ, but onlythe anointing. The word Christ means anointed one or the anointing. Butwhen we get a revelation of it, we see that it means more to the wife ofthe Lamb than just being anointed. Because Christ brings the actual na-ture of our Lord Jesus Christ into us, His wife, thus making us bone ofHis bone and flesh of His flesh. It means these attributes that were inJesus the Christ came into us as the feminine part of Jesus, meaning Hiswife. As it was with Adam and Eve, likewise, we the Christ wife arebone of His bone and flesh of His flesh (Ephesians 5:30-32) and havetaken possession of the revelation of the knowledge of the Son of God,unto a perfect man, as we have reached the stature of the fullness ofChrist. And now we are the Lamb’s wife expressing the perfect manwalking here in the earth as overcomers through the faith of the Son ofGod, showing forth our Lord Jesus Christ. See, at one time, Lucifer wasperfect in his ways; but when he was tried, he fell and lost that Christanointing as the bringer of light. And now it is the wife of the Lambwho is demonstrating and showing Christ—with the feminine attrib-utes bestowed upon us by our Husband and King, the Lord Jesus.

The one thing that I want this message (Christ Walks the Earth Again,Unbound) to bring out good and clear is that the anointing did not getdefiled by whoever it was on, whether it was on Lucifer, Adam, Moses,or anyone else. God moved His anointing from anyone who becamedefiled, or if that person died; and God always knew where that anoint-ing was going next. He knew what was going to happen when He put

85CHRIST WALKS THE EARTH AGAIN, UNBOUND

it on Adam. Adam was a perfect man, but untried. But when God gavehim his wife, through her he began to listen to another voice. Therewere two voices: There was the voice of God that told him what to do;but here was his lovely wife, influenced by the serpent, saying, “I be-lieve it means this.” The same spirit that was created by the fallen angel,Lucifer, and caused him to become Satan, is the spirit that came into theserpent and anointed him. Then the serpent came to Eve and deceivedher. He told Eve, “Yea hath God said.” “I know God said this; but letus look at it this way. This is really what it means.” And the Bible saysthat Eve was deceived but Adam was not. Adam knew, but he willinglyate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil without it being con-nected to the tree of life. Then God told Adam, “The earth is not goingto bring forth for you. You are going to have to work and earn your liv-ing by the sweat of your brow; because thou harkened unto the voiceof thy wife.”

Well, this same devil came to Jesus with his lies, but He rejected himand his lies. The devil still lives in our world; but Jesus made a waythat we could live an overcoming life in this world. When Jesus washere in the flesh, in the Book of John, Chapter 3, He said, “the Son ofman which is in heaven.” He was in heaven while He was here. AndHe said, “You are not of this world; you are of another world.” Paulgot the revelation of this in the Book of Colossians 1:12-13 saying, “Giv-ing thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the in-heritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power ofdarkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:” Also in 1Thessalonians, Chapter 5, “Ye are all the children of light, and the childrenof the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” The children of lightare those that are born again regardless of what part of God’s plan theyare in. But in this particular part of God’s plan, it is the wife of the Lambthat this light is shining through more brightly, because we were bap-tized into the fullness of Christ. The fact is, the wife of the Lamb isstanding in the full light of God’s plan.

See, that is who Lucifer was back there before he fell—the angel oflight, perfect. But he had his own desires to what he wanted to do. Andtoday that same spirit is showing a false light in the denominations, in-cluding the majority of the independent churches. They meet togetherand say, “I believe we should do this.” They will get different preachersin, call a ministers’ meeting to see what they think about it, asking them,“Well, do you think this is right? How do you feel about this?” Well,how about asking God—and whatever He says, let God be true andevery man a liar. You say, “That is getting a little hard, BrotherHoward.” I tell you, Christ is walking the earth again, and the Word is

unbound! Christ is unbound. Therefore, we are not bound to any par-ticular scripture. Notice that again, we are not bound to any particularscripture. I say this, because we know that Paul said certain things thatwas not for us, the wife, but they were for the fallen church. Some ofthe things that he said was “for the present distress.” And we cannotbring those things over and put them on you; because Christ is alivetoday, walking around in purity, dressed in fine linen, clean and white.That is Christ the wife. He has given us the power of the Word; andour one doctrine is, “We do what our Husband, the Lord Jesus, showsus.”

Christ is walking again! How is He walking? He is walking here inthe wife of the Lamb, who has received this anointing and has reachedthe fullness of Christ. We have been made perfect in Him. And we areno longer tossed to and fro, as we have His mind, and we have Hisanointing. And that is the reason Satan gets so mad at us, because weare the anointed one that he would like to be.

This anointing is so great, even greater than what Lucifer received,because it took on the human attributes and connected God and mantogether. The Apostle Paul reached into the side (spiritually speaking)of Christ Jesus when God struck him down, and he pulled out a rib;meaning, he pulled out a message. He brought the Spirit of the rib inhis espousal message; but not the message that causes the rib to becomebone of His bone and flesh of His flesh in marriage to our Lord Jesus,because it is this last trumpet (trump) of God message that producedthis. (Ephesians 5:30 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-52)

Paul began to introduce a new language with words like: she, her, vir-gin, wife. He began to talk unlike the other apostles. And his messagestarted this new language of God concerning a marriage, when he saidin 1 Corinthians 11:1-2, “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: forI have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virginto Christ.” But the espoused virgin fell away from this Word of espousal,and then God placed them in a survival message to get them throughthe seven church ages. We see this in the next verse; Verse 3, says, “ButI fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, soyour minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” Mean-ing, there were preachers in Paul’s day that wanted to take the gospeland make it complicated. (And they want to make it complicated inthis day. But the wife of the Lamb has taken this new language thatPaul introduced and it is now perfected in flesh and bones and is speak-ing in the simplicity of the fullness of Christ, and it is not complicated!)What is complicated about loving the Lord, saying, “I only do what Hesays do, and I walk with Him”? Therefore, if somebody else does not

87CHRIST WALKS THE EARTH AGAIN, UNBOUND

see it, maybe they are partakers in another way with Christ. You justbe a light and shine, shine, shine; we are going to let it shine! And nowit is all over the world—we are going to let it shine. It is the light ofGod’s Word that is coming forth. He has blended with us so much thatHe made us His light. And now all that is blended with this Word madeflesh is blended with us. But this other, those in the woodwork of thewalls, did not want to blend or be one with us. They loved the letter ofthe Word; but they did not love us, who is the living Word, the tree oflife. Because in the woodwork of the tree of knowledge (which is theletter of the Word without it being connected to the Spirit of life) is theonly place they can dwell. So they hide from this light that is shiningforth through our flesh and bones in this hour. For His light and ourlight are the same, because we have become bone of His bone and fleshof His flesh. We became one. Everything that He is, we are, as HisChrist wife.

So Christ is walking here again on this earth unbound. The Word isunbound, because it comes straight from God, and many times it is noteven written. The written Word of God alone, without the Spirit, hasdeath—because the letter killeth; the tree of the knowledge of good andevil will kill. But it is the Spirit, the anointing on the Word that makesit come alive, that makes this Word of the trumpet sounding get up andwalk. This trumpet sound gives us the Word that relates to the wife ofthe Lamb; and we will not say it any differently, because His words arenow our words. That is what gets up and walks! Hallelujah! That iswhat is taking place now, the Word has gotten up and is walking, andit is producing. And what is it? It is Christ walking on this earth again,unbound in the wife of the Lamb.

Again I want to say, this anointing started way before mankind wasever created, and it came on down through time. And even King Saulwas anointed. Saul was anointed with that same Spirit, the Spirit ofChrist; it was pure, see. Well, David was anointed, too. And when Saulfell, it did not defile the anointing of Christ. It just fell right on Davidand fulfilled the Word, exactly what it was supposed to do in making aking. And then here came along David’s son, Solomon, as he was or-dained to be the next king. God anointed Solomon with great wisdom,and made him so prosperous that there was no kingdom like it in theworld. And for forty years there was perfect peace, which is a type ofour millennial reign with our Lord Jesus. These are examples of Christin the Old Testament as this anointing came upon certain men; but now,in the New Testament, we see this same Christ in another form after Heblended with Jesus, who was the Word made flesh. This was the be-ginning of the gift of the Holy Ghost, which was God’s way of uniting

us with His Son, Jesus the Christ. And now we are married to the LordJesus Christ by a spiritual baptism into the fullness of His Spirit.

In the wife of the Lamb there are many members, but it is only onewife, all of us together. And we have the anointing that Melchizedekhad. We have the anointing that Elijah had—and he went up in a rap-ture. We have the anointing that Enoch had—and he was raptured be-fore the flood, showing that the wife of the Lamb is raptured before thetribulation.

This rapture was established back there with Enoch. What does it sayin the Book of Hebrews, Chapter 11, about Enoch and why he was rap-tured? He had the testimony that he pleased God and was not becauseGod took him. He was translated by the living Word and went to bewith our Lord; for as he was walking, his feet got lighter and lighter,until he walked off into glory! Genesis 5:24 says, “And Enoch walkedwith God: and he was not; for God took him.” He went without dying!

As this trumpet sounds, the departed saints that are part of the wifeof the Lamb are going to rise, and we are going to be changed in a mo-ment, in the twinkling of an eye, to be caught up together. This happensbecause God has raised the dead at this time and changed the living,and all of us together, as one unit, are His beautiful wife!

I want to mention again about how Lucifer was perfect in beauty. Hewas beautiful from the day he was created. But is it not amazing thatwhen we read about Jesus in Isaiah, Chapter 53, how it says there wasno beauty about Him that we should desire Him? In other words, youhave to desire something more than just a fleshly something. You haveto see beyond the surface of the Word of God, and see who Jesus is, andwho He was. And it is the same thing about the wife of the Lamb. Wemay not look like a beautiful congregation with all the robes and bellsand whistles. There may not be any beauty that you would desire, butthere is the most beautiful character you will ever see. It is the wife ofthe Lamb.

Lucifer tried to take that beauty and misuse it. But we do not take itand say, “We are beautiful.” We are beautiful in the eyes of God, just asJesus is beautiful to us, His wife. There was never a character as beau-tiful as Jesus. I have got a picture depicting Jesus riding into Jerusalemon a little donkey. It reminds me of the humbleness of our Lord JesusChrist. The common people heard Him gladly when He came ridinginto Jerusalem; and there was a big crowd to greet Him. They werepulling limbs off trees and putting their coats on the ground for the littledonkey to walk on, glorifying God. And those religious Jews said, “Wehave got to get rid of Him. He has got to be killed. This has gone farenough! It is a great embarrassment to this nation, Him coming and

89CHRIST WALKS THE EARTH AGAIN, UNBOUND

saying that He is the king, riding in on a little donkey with commonpeople gathered all around Him. Where is the dignity? Where is thegolden chariot? Where are the great white horses? And He is sayingHe is the king!”

In the Book of Zechariah 9:9, it says, “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion;shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just,and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foalof an ass.” But they rejected Him. They did not want Him. But we, thewife, want Him however He comes. And He has come through Christas the proxy, and we were baptized into the fullness of His Spirit, andwe see Him in each other. (Revelation, Chapter 10) He came in the formof a Mighty Angel anointed. But this anointing had something in it; forthis anointing has been tried by someone that had previously been triedas a man and tempted in all points like we are. This anointing was thefullness of Christ in the man, Jesus. (This revelation of our marriage isbrought out so wonderfully in the message, We Are at Present the Wifeand Queen of Our King, the Lord Jesus Christ, by a Proxy Marriage, whichis one of the chapters in our book, The Gospel According to the Wife of theLamb.) And in the beginning of the millennial reign, we will be withthe glorified Son of God, our King and Husband, because we are thewife of the Lamb, and we have His anointing.

Again, I want to say that we did not get the anointing like they had inthe Old Testament. We get the anointing after the Christ anointing cameinto Jesus and took on His attributes. That is why Jesus had to be ahuman, born of a woman, made under the law. He came and showed,“This is the way to God.” And God through that Spirit made a way forthis to happen. Yes, He paid the price for redemption. That is why wecease not to praise the Lamb, for He is worthy. (Revelation, Chapter 5)

So do you see how that anointing started back there before God cre-ated mankind on this earth? Lucifer was anointed, and that sameanointing came through time. It fell on Jesus; and it not only fell onHim, but it came into Him, to become part of Him; and it made HimJesus the Christ, or Jesus Christ. And that same anointing came backas the Mighty Angel in Revelation, Chapter 10, and we took the littlebook out of His hand and we ate it up, because the Almighty God au-thorized it. See, the Almighty God, the voice that spoke from heaven,said to John, “Go take the little book and eat it up.” That is the voice ofauthorization. And once we ate it, yes, it was sweet to the taste, but bit-ter to the belly. We had to change many of our ways. We saw that reli-gion was just a big farce, that there was not anything of God about it.We wanted something better and deeper, so we ate the little book up.It was sweet to the mouth; and when we ate it up, it became bitter as it

began to work itself out. Then we passed through the time of eatingthe sweet and bitter little book into rejoicing! And then He said, “Youare ready to go prophesy.” And this is this message of the last trump ofGod going forth prophesying, because we, the Christ wife, are clothedin fine linen, clean and white, which is the righteousness of the wife.

Heavenly Father, we appreciate you, and thank you for the Word, for the wayyou are leading, for the way you are guiding, and for all these things that youhave done for us. And most of all, we thank you for making us the wife of yourSon, bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh; for there is no higher calling. You havegiven us that same Spirit that was in Jesus, which withstood every trial. Andthe Word says, “He is our Captain. He is our King. He is our Husband. AndHe will forever be the Lamb.” And we are the wife of the Lamb, clothed in finelinen, clean and white, rejoicing in Him continuously. Lord, we love you andpraise you for your love, goodness, and mercy, and we thank you for the greatgrace that you have now given to us, your wife. For this we praise you, in thename of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

91CHRIST WALKS THE EARTH AGAIN, UNBOUND

WHERE WOULD THE WIFE OF THE LAMB BEWITHOUT THIS?

Today I want read in the Book of Acts, Chapter 26. And I will be read-ing quite a bit of the scripture here; because the scripture is saying whatI want to say concerning this time that we are living in. In this chapter,it is Paul defending and explaining what he was preaching; and it wasso contradictory, and contrary, to what religion believed in, that theywent about to kill him. So Paul’s message was rejected by all the reli-gions of that day.

Now before we journey any further in this message, I want to title it,Where Would the Wife of the Lamb Be Without This? This thought came tome while I was thinking about a letter that I received from another coun-try. The person that wrote the letter had been listening to a particularmessage that I had preached entitled, Giving Honor to Those That Did theHeavy Lifting for Us, where I was telling about those that came beforeus that did the heavy lifting. I was speaking of those men that blazedthe way, that cleared the trail, that cleared the stumps out of the roadfor us, and how they helped us to get to where we are now. In that mes-sage I called Brother William Branham’s name and Brother RaymondJackson’s name. I also mentioned how in the early years the Pente-costals came and brought certain truths, and how they stood for theWord; they were like the Rock of Gibraltar. They could not be movedfrom the part of the truth that they were entrusted with. So after preach-ing along those lines, I got a letter saying, “Brother Ben, you left out onename when you called the names of those that did the heavy lifting.”And then he said, “Where would we be without your message?” Well,it is not my message; it is the Lord’s message. But that was this man’swording. So from this saying, I got my title—Where Would the Wife ofthe Lamb Be Without This? And I am using the word this. And that ‘this’is the sounding of the trumpet of God, which is the gospel according tothe wife of the Lamb. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52, Ephesians 4:13-16, Eph-esians 5:30-32, and Revelation 19:7-8) Where would we be without this?When we begin to look back in the Word of God, we see over and overagain certain things that God sent to those of their particular time periodthat was relevant for them, and where would they be without thosethings? So let us pray before going any further with ‘this’ Word.

Heavenly Father, we thank you, Lord, for your love, goodness, and mercy.And I thank you for granting me the grace of God and the strength of the Lordto stand one more time this side of the rapture to speak your Word. May I be

able to yield myself to you in such a way that I will be able to speak words thatwill benefit the wife of the Lamb. And we will be so careful to praise you forthis in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

When we speak of the Apostle Paul’s message, we can say, “Wherewould we be without Paul’s message?” Because Paul’s message laid thefoundation that the wife of the Lamb is built upon. And when theChristian Jews speak of their message, they can say, “Where would webe without Peter’s message?” (Galatians 2:7-9) And where would thewhole world be without the message of Jesus Christ? For we see thatHis message was resented and hated by the religious world because itwent so contrary to their religious ways.

This was the same thing that happened when Paul came and began topreach his message, which began to pull their foundation out fromunder what the Jews were saying and that caused them to go about tokill him. But Paul continued to preach Christ, saying that Jesus was theJewish Messiah, which totally dismantled their religious system. But,praise God, there were some Jews that when they heard, they believedPaul’s message and were no longer affected by the Jewish law, and theybecame virgins espoused to Jesus Christ.

In the Book of Hebrews (which I really love), Paul explained this tothe Jewish people, and brought out in depth the rituals of the law, show-ing the meaning of all these things that the Jews held so precious—theoffering of the sacrifice, the washing of the pots and pans, and sprin-kling ashes of heifers on certain ones for the purification and sanctifi-cation of the flesh. Paul said, “I have got something better, and I amgoing to tell you about that.” Well, there was a people of both the Jewsand the Gentiles that rallied to it and believed it. So after Paul wrotethe Book of Hebrews, one would think that after showing the Jewishlaw keepers what the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior did for us all, thatthey would have recognized that the keeping of the Law of Moses wasthe Word of God that would bring (lead) them to Jesus Christ, and thatthe Jews then would have closed the synagogues and would havestopped offering the lamb for sins. But no, they were so established intheir religious ways that nothing was going to move them away fromthat. And it is the same with this Gentile religious world today as thistrumpet message is sounding forth the truth for this hour. But they areso wrapped up in the spirit of denominationalism that they cannot letloose of their traditions and go with the Word for this hour; for thetrumpet message is on the scene now, but they do not see it for what itis. They cannot hear the revelation that it is sounding forth; althoughto some it has a pleasant sound, but they are at home with their ritualsand churchanity.

93WHERE WOULD THE WIFE OF THE LAMB BE WITHOUT THIS?

So now we can see why Paul got into trouble with the Jewish peopleand many of the Gentiles. But thank God, there were men like Apollos,shown in the Book of Acts, Chapter 18, who was a good keeper of thelaw and mighty in the scriptures (but he only knew John’s baptism),and that was as far as he was in the gospel. But when Priscilla andAquila heard Apollos speak, they went to him and expounded the Wordof God more perfectly. And they introduced him to Paul; and when heheard Paul’s preaching, Apollos laid aside all his tradition, and he be-came one of the greater ministers of the New Testament, preaching thesame gospel that Paul preached. He is also mentioned in 1 Corinthians,Chapter One, where it speaks of some saying, “I am of Paul. I am ofApollos.” And it was the same thing with Titus. Titus was a Greek; un-circumcised. The Jewish religion could not help him. But here came amessage that did. Both Apollos and Titus accepted it, and believed it.Notice that, Apollos a Jew, and Titus a Gentile; and both of them couldsay, “Where would we be without Paul’s message?” So today, do wehave any Apollos’ and Titus’ out there that can say amen to the sound-ing of this trumpet and go forth embracing this message (which is forthe wife of the Lamb) and lay aside the former things?

Remember, Titus went with Paul and Barnabas up to Jerusalem inGalatians, Chapter 2, where the Jews were having a meeting. But theydid not want to accept Titus because he was uncircumcised. This showsus that the Jews would not turn loose of the law and let it be dead tothem. And they still will not turn loose of the law. That is why Godhad to call out of that group of law keepers, a people to hear a messagethat would make them part of the espoused virgin; and together withthe Gentiles, they became a virgin espoused to the Lord Jesus Christ asa new man, a new creation—because this group was neither Jew norGentile. (Galatians 3:28-29, Ephesians, Chapter 2, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14) And now this new man has changed into another form, and has be-come bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh as the wife by our marriageto our Lord Jesus Christ. And now we are showing the perfect man asthe wife of the Lamb. (Ephesians 4:13-16, and Ephesians 5:30-32) Inother words, the new man that was became the wife that is; showing theperfect man, the Lord Jesus, our Husband and King.

So in our scripture reading today, we find Paul on his way to Rome tobe put into prison. Now watch the Jews; for everywhere Paul went,they tried to condemn him. In Acts, Chapter 26, starting with Verses 1-2, it says, “Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thy-self. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself: I thinkmyself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day beforethee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:” Now watch.

Page 95: BEN HOWARD - Amazon S3 · OTHER BOOKS BY BEN HOWARD.....239 AUDIO AND VIDEO SERMONS—1967-2018.....251. THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME 7 This Testimony is a Witness

94 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

Do not miss that—“I am accused of the Jews.” Those were the most re-ligious people, the most holy people in the world. They were the onesaccusing Paul and trying to have him put to death. So he now wasgoing to answer for himself before his accusers in the presence of KingAgrippa; and he shows his appreciation for this opportunity.

Now continuing with Verse 3, “Especially because I know thee to be expertin all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseechthee to hear me patiently.” Paul had something to say, and he wanted tobe heard. The Word of God says to be ready to give an answer for thehope that is in you. Here is someone who stood before the highestearthly authority, and said, “Thank you for allowing me to speak formyself.” In other words, he knew that what he was saying was right.He was not tossed to and fro. He knew where he stood. And watch aswe read on. Verse 4, “My manner of life from my youth, which was at thefirst among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;” In otherwords, “These Jews know this, know my manner of life. I have been inthe nation of Israel. I have been a Jew up one side and down the other.”

Here in Verse 5, Paul is coming against a religious system, not becausehe wanted to, but because God sent him to give witness of the grace ofGod, which came by our Lord Jesus Christ. So Paul continues, referringback to those that knew his manner of life, “Which knew me from the be-ginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religionI lived a Pharisee.” In other words, he was with it one hundred percent;just like we were in the Pentecostal religion. Verse 6, “And now I standand am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:” Paulwas saying, “And I am persecuted for this. We are just fulfilling whatwas promised of God and written for us by the fathers. This is thepromise! It is not some strange something, if you believe the Word; be-cause it is right here in the Word!” And he stood there before those Jew-ish rabbis and before the kings and did not waver. He was willing andable, and God anointed him. Do you know why? The Word of Godsays, “Be ready to give an answer for those that ask your reason forhope.”

Sometime back I preached a message entitled, When Preparedness MeetsOpportunity, showing that opportunity was not a challenge, becausepreparedness went on ahead; for when the clouds are full, it will rain!See, Paul was prepared, and God privileged him by giving him an op-portunity. He got up there without fear. He knew where he was at inscripture. And standing before kings there, he knew that what he wassaying was of the scripture, even though all the religious systems therewere wanting him to be put to death. But he stood there without fear.God was in him. God was on his side. It was Christ in him—“These

are not my words, but the words of Christ.” He said, “I am beingjudged for what the prophets said would be.” And again, Verse 6 says,“And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God untoour fathers:” In other words, “What God said He would do, He is doing.”And let me tell you something; what God said He would do, He is nowdoing it. And where would we be without this trumpet message to letus know this? Where would the people have been in that day withoutPaul’s message? Where would we all be without a man like that takinga stand and bringing forth this truth, even though the whole religiousworld was against Paul and were trying to have him put to death? Andin this hour, they are trying to put us to death spiritually.

In this hour, for the most part, they cannot put you to death physicallyfor what you say; not in this country anyway. But there is coming atime on down the road, according to Revelation 12:11, that many willbe put to death. And we see these precious saints in Revelation, Chapter7. But the point is, there has got to be someone to stand up and say,“This is the gospel for me. This is right.” Where would we be withoutthis? We would be in some religious system, which is controlled by thespirit of iniquity.

Remember, in a previous message that we brought out and put ondisplay, where that spirit of iniquity started. And we dealt with Lucifer,a mighty angel who was perfect in his ways until iniquity was found inhim. And then we brought that right over to 2 Corinthians, Chapter 11,where Paul said, “Do not be surprised if the apostles of Satan be trans-formed into ministers of righteousness; for Satan himself is transformedinto an angel of light.” See, because Satan at one time was that, whenhe was Lucifer (in his rightful place); and his name meant light bringer.And now by his deception, he has blinded the religious people, includ-ing the religious Jews.

God promised He would send a Messiah to them. He would send adeliverer to them. That is what Jesus said when He went into the templethere in the Book of Luke, Chapter 4, where He said, “The Spirit of theLord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, Topreach the acceptable year of the Lord.” And then He said unto them, “Thisday is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” And henceforth, they began tocome against Him. What was it? It was God fulfilling what He hadpromised. And right there the promise was on the scene, but they wereblinded to it.

Many people today like to glorify God for what He has done. And itis good to glorify God for what He has done. And then others want to

96 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

glorify God for what He is going to do. But they are ignoring what Heis presently doing. But God is of the present. He is an ever present helpin time of need. It is the ever-present God—there is where the living,walking, talking Word is. It is ever-present. It is not back in anothertime period. And it is not so much in the future. It is what is takingplace today, because we are living today. We are breathing today. Theliving Word of God is here today.

So that is what Paul was trying to tell them. And what would the es-poused virgin do without that message? It took that message; it tookbringing that Word to get them espoused. Paul was sent to do that inhis day. He said, “I am ordained of God.” (Galatians, Chapter One)And he said, “The fact is, it was from my mother’s womb that I was or-dained to do what I am doing.” He said, “God sent me; and this mes-sage will deliver you from the power of Satan unto the power of theliving God.” So where would we be without this? We would still bebound by the power of Satan which is denominationalism and the spiritof iniquity.

Now God is moving once again in this hour and He is sending us de-liverance. There is a scripture in the Book of Psalms that says, “Theirtable has become a snare before them; and that which should have beenfor their welfare (deliverance), let it become a trap.” I preached a mes-sage sometime back entitled, That Which Should Have Been for Your De-liverance Has Become a Trap to You. Here is a message! It should be foryour deliverance! But the point is, it takes a revelation; you cannot ac-cept it without a revelation. Also, I preached a message many years agoentitled, Locked in Your Present Condition When Time is No More. Therecame a time when it was too late.

See, it was too late when the foolish virgins came, who are shown inthe Book of Matthew, Chapter 25. They came and said, “Open the doorand let us in. Let us in to the marriage. We have been out getting oil,and we believe we have sufficient oil. Now let us in.” No. They didnot get sufficient oil, because they rejected this when it was in the formof the little book of Revelation, Chapter 10. And now that it has takenon flesh and bones in us (the wife), they are rejected; for now we are thelittle book in another form, which is His flesh and bones. And we wouldbe blind just like the others without this.

Whatever the need is, He promised to supply the need, and praiseGod, the need has been well supplied and is being supplied, becausethe life of the Word will always take care of itself and supply itself, aswe have been growing up into Him, being no longer tossed to and froand carried about with every wind of doctrine. (Ephesians 4:13-16)And we are not controlled by the spirit of iniquity, which is embedded

97WHERE WOULD THE WIFE OF THE LAMB BE WITHOUT THIS?

in the religion of the world today. And I am talking about independentworks, also. So do not think that just because someone does not belongto a denomination, they are all right. No, that same spirit just keepsmoving to where it finds a soul that is not willing to sell out one hun-dred percent to the Word and receive this Word but wants to seek it an-other way. Therefore, they are controlled by the spirit of iniquity andnot the Spirit of Christ.

It is the way of the antichrist. It is the way of the spirit of iniquityfrom Satan. He wanted to lift his throne, not just above the clouds, butabove the stars! He wanted to do more and be more. But we do notthink of ourselves more than what God has made us; for we are happyto be the wife of the Lamb as we have reached the high calling of God.We praise God that we are Christ the wife, married to the Lord Jesus byproxy. So we are already bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. Thereis nothing any greater. And we are not trying to push anyone out of theway to see if we can get a little closer to Jesus on the throne. We havegot our pre-determined place. And since we have found our place, weare so happy right here doing all His bidding, and we are not trying tofind anything else. There is peace and there is contentment here in ourplace.

In Acts, Chapter 26, it shows the Jews wanted to stomp out what Paulwas doing. And they wanted to prove it wrong. But here Paul stoodup before the elders and before the king that knew the Jewish customs,and he began to say, “I only bring the things that God promised. Thethings that I am doing and the things that I am saying are the thingsthat God promised to us.” And Verse 7 says, “Unto which promise ourtwelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come.” See, theyhope to come. Many people are still hoping for this rapturing messageto come, and here it is! Some say, “I hope God sends us a message tobring deliverance.” Recently, a doctor said to me and my wife, “I cer-tainly hope the trumpet sounds real soon.” Well, what he is looking forhas come; and by faith we realize it has come. It is Christ. And we havegot one doctrine; and that is to do what He says do each day.

So the twelve tribes were hoping the promise of God would come.Well, it came in Jesus Christ. The redemption was there in Christ. Andin David’s writings, there in the Book of Psalms, Chapter 22, he tellsabout it in a prophetic utterance, saying, “For dogs have compassed me,and the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me; for they pierced myhands and my feet. I may tell all my bones; they look and stare uponme. They parted my garments among them, and cast lots upon my ves-ture.” And also in, Psalms, Chapter 69, “I looked for some to take pity;but there was none. And for comforters; but found none. They gave

me gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.”This was showing just exactly what they did to Jesus on the cross andon the way there. So just as it was written in the Word of God, JesusChrist our Savior came. God said it would be, and it was just like Godsaid—for a promise made is a promise kept.

Verse 7 again, “Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly servingGod day and night, hope to come.” (Notice, they were hoping for the prom-ise to come.) “For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.”In other words, “Just because I believe what the Word says, just becauseI am believing the promises of God, I am being judged.”

So is it in this hour; for we are judged because we know that we aremembers of the body of Christ and not a type of it, and that we are notjust a mystical (spiritual) body, but we are bone of His bone and fleshof His flesh. We have become the little book in human flesh walkingaround here—because we ate the little book up (took possession of it)and became what it was. And now, “Except you eat our flesh and drinkour blood, you have no part with us.” Jesus Christ said this; and we saythe same. Where would we be without this?

Where would we be without a message that showed us that themighty Book of Redemption was opened in the Book of Revelation,Chapter 5, and that there was a great announcement made by a strongangel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book,and to loose the seals thereof?” And there was found no one worthy.They looked under heaven and all over the earth. They looked in thepresent, in the future, in the past, and everywhere; but there was noone, no man, that could do it. Not any person could claim back thatwhich Adam lost. It was the title deed to redemption, the title deed tothe earth. Lucifer lost the title deed to the earth, then God gave it toAdam. Well, Adam lost it, also. Now it was left up to Jesus Christ, theLamb of God, to redeem it back for Adam’s seed, and He died to bringredemption for all the predestinated seed of God.

See, when Satan came to Adam through the serpent and through Eve,to get him to break the Word, he obeyed and broke the Word. Adambroke the Word voluntarily, because he was saying something like this,“I would rather live in Eve’s world with her, than my world withouther.” And that is the way many people do. They will sell out the Wordlike that. But the point is, Adam ate of the tree of the knowledge ofgood and evil, rather than obeying God’s Word and eating the tree oflife. That is when he lost the title deed to this earth. And it went fromhis hand back to the original owner, the Almighty God. Now the titledeed to this earth had become the Book of Redemption in the Father’spossession, and it remained there until someone could claim it back for

99WHERE WOULD THE WIFE OF THE LAMB BE WITHOUT THIS?

mankind—and no one could do it until Jesus Christ redeemed it withHis very own life on Calvary.

So the Lamb of God bought the Book of Redemption for us; and nowwe know that we are redeemed both soul and body, as we have faith toclaim the Word that Paul left for us, saying in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17,“For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive andremain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice ofthe archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall risefirst: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together withthem in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with theLord.” Paul said this is the way it is. And what would we do withoutthis? Here is what Paul said in the Book of 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, “Be-hold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shallsound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”Notice, “Behold, I show you a mystery.” And that mystery is not knownby many people today. They will resent you for saying that this is nowrevealed unto us.

Look what the religious people were doing to Paul here. They wereresenting him. They were despising him. And they would have puthim to death. Why? Because he believed the Word. He said, “I speakno other things but that which God has revealed by the prophets, sayingthis would be here.” He was telling what the prophets said would be,and they were about to kill him because they did not believe. Theyclaimed they did, but when it was fulfilled, they did not recognize it,and it is the same thing today. Many people say they are waiting forthe rapture, waiting for the coming of Christ—hoping for the promiseto come. Here it is! We believe it and we see it! Christ has come andwe were baptized into His body; and the Lord has blessed us with thetitle the wife of the Lamb. And by our giving glory to Him, that is crown-ing Him. He is our King. He is our Husband. He is our all in all. Heis our love!

See, He died and resurrected, and death has no more dominion overHim. And He took the death sentence away from all that would believeGod and walk with God, which are we which are alive and remain. Thatis the promise that Paul left us. But the espoused virgin of 2Corinthians11:2-3, listened to the serpent and he beguiled her as he did Eve in theGarden of Eden. That is why Paul said, “I fear lest you be beguiled fromthe simplicity that is in Christ.” And they fell away, and they went intothe seven church ages and died and went to the grave. They did notreceive these promises then, but that did not cancel these promises.

100 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

Everything was just sealed away in the Book of Redemption, waitingfor the time when the Lamb of God (Jesus) would claim His redemp-tion.

Now let us continue on with Paul’s testimony. Verse 7 again, “Untowhich promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope tocome. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.” Inother words, “That hope to me has become faith. I believe it. And nowI am being accused because they only hope that it will come; but I havefaith—I know He has come. So they are accusing me.” Verse 8 says,“Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raisethe dead?” Why would it be something so strange among you to thinkthat God would translate the living in this hour? That is what the prom-ise says; and we believe! It is the raising of the dead, and it is the chang-ing of the living. Why should it be thought an incredible thing that wewhich are alive and remain will be changed? What would we do with-out this message of the last trump sounding?

Let us continue on with Paul’s testimony in Verses 13-15. He says, “Atmidday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness ofthe sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. Andwhen we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and say-ing in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard forthee to kick against the pricks. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said,I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.” Now watch. Paul was persecuting thesaints; but he heard a voice speaking to him, saying, “I am Jesus whomthou persecutest.” They were persecuting Jesus when they were perse-cuting the saints. And they are persecuting Jesus when they are perse-cuting us today.

Now here in Verse 16, Jesus says to Paul, “But rise, and stand upon thyfeet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister anda witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in thewhich I will appear unto thee (I am going to be present with you). Deliv-ering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee.”Jesus Christ tells Paul that he was, “To open their eyes, and to turn themfrom darkness to light.” There is a message to turn you from darkness tolight; and what would we do without it? What is it? It is the last trum-pet sounding. It reveals and exposes the serpent wherever he is at.

Here I want to refer again to the night vision that my wife Barbarajeanhad, where she and I were walking together in a place, and we saw ser-pents that were embedded in the woodwork of the walls that were try-ing to disguise themselves as part of the woodwork, showing those thathave the spirit of the antichrist. And then suddenly there appeared acabinet drawer, and my wife opened the drawer and a serpent came out

and ran. See, the light exposes darkness. For this trumpet message isgoing forth, and it is persecuted because it exposes everything thatclaims to be God but denies His working. “and from the power of Satan(that spirit of iniquity that is in churchanity) unto God, that they may re-ceive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified byfaith that is in me. Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient untothe heavenly vision:” Paul was not disobedient. When he got his calling,he went. And what would we do if God had not called him?

In the Book of Galatians 1:11-24, he said, “I was ordained from mymother’s womb to bring this to you. This is not my doing, but someonegreater than I had more to say about it than I did. He ordained me andbrought me this day to bring this truth.” And where would we be with-out it? And I am bringing that up to date: Where would we be? Theycould not have gotten engaged without Paul’s message. And now wecould not have been married to the Lamb without this trumpet sound-ing message. Where would we be without this?

I just love the testimony that Paul gave. Compare it with our situation.Make that comparison: Paul’s message was for their engagement. Andnow this message has gotten us married. And where would we be with-out it? The letter that I received said, “Where would we be withoutyour message.”—It is not my message, but it is our message; it is themessage of God. The message now showing Christ the wife of theLamb. And where would we be without it?

Heavenly Father, we bless you, and praise you, and thank you for this mes-sage. Where would we be without it, Lord? You made the way when thereseemed to be no way. Everything that we had need of, Lord, you provided. Youmade a way through all the impossibilities. Just as the man said to me awhileback, “Can you imagine a little long haired boy back in the mountains, bare-footed, and could not read or anything—who would believe that he could goall over the world with a message that is blasting forth on every continent?”Well, I did not try to believe it, Lord, I just tried to live each day with that onedoctrine—which is whatever you tell me to do today. And still today, that wewill do, Lord. We praise you for it, Lord. And may the readers of this messagebelieve this, may you touch their hearts and lives, and may it produce thatwhich you have ordained. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray.Amen.

103WHERE WOULD THE WIFE OF THE LAMB BE WITHOUT THIS?

THE JOY OF LIVING HEREAFTER THE COMING OF CHRIST JESUS

Let us begin reading today in the Book of 1 Thessalonians, Chapter 4,and I want to take this thought and title the message, The Joy of LivingHere After the Coming of Christ Jesus. I want you to pay close attention tothe title, because it will be the expression of the entire message. It ishighlighting the coming of Christ Jesus and what it means to us, the wifeof God’s only begotten Son, the Lamb of God. In the Book of Revelation19:7-8, John called us the Lamb’s wife, clothed in fine linen, clean andwhite. Now that is special; and it is only for the wife.

I remember living here before the coming of Christ Jesus, and it wasgood; but we were always looking for, and waiting for, the Lord’s comingto take place. And we sang songs about the coming of our Lord, notknowing exactly how it would be, knowing that many of us were look-ing to go to the grave and be resurrected. But now we have passed thattime as we have come into the time and the place where death is swal-lowed up in victory. Now let us pray before beginning our message.

Heavenly Father, I pray that you will take this Word and bless us. We thankyou for the anointing and for helping us to realize where we are at. And wethank you for the joy and peace that we have in our hearts, which is our right asyour wife; and if we accept anything besides that, then it is the enemy trying topull us in a different direction. Because, Lord, you have given us joy unspeakableand full of glory. We are your wife, baptized into the fullness of your body, andbaptized into this trump of God message for the changing of our mortal bodies,as we are now hearing this trumpet sound that is playing the tune of “and thedead in Christ are going to appear, and we shall be changed in a moment, in thetwinkling of an eye.” Then, we shall be physically caught up to your throne andhave a jubilee, while the tribulation is going on. So we thank you for making usyour wife. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Now before I speak about the joy of living here after the coming ofChrist Jesus, I want to mention about the coming of the Lord JesusChrist that is shown in Revelation 19:11-16 as a physical glorified man,our Husband and King, in which every eye shall see Him. But prior tothis physical coming of our Lord back to the earth, He calls His Christwife up to His throne position while the great tribulation is taking place.And when this time of trouble is over, our Lord Jesus will come back tothe earth and bring us, His wife, back with Him. And then we, alongwith all the other saints that are raised from the dead at that time, willbe part of His earthly kingdom, with us (His wife) having the specialplace by His side.

104 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

So in order to highlight the fact that we are living here after the comingof Christ Jesus, we need to remember the previous messages where wefollowed the Christ anointing through time, showing the anointing onthose who were chosen to show forth Christ, until Christ came upon andinto Jesus making Him the Christ; for the Spirit of Christ came into Himwithout measure. And then for over three years, Jesus Christ didmighty works. Many times the people would say, “Is this not theChrist?” For as they would see the man Jesus, they saw the Christ thatwas actually doing the work. It was during this time that the Spirit ofChrist took on the attributes of Jesus; and Christ and Jesus became somuch one that Jesus was called Jesus Christ. Then after Jesus was cru-cified by the Romans at the request of the religious Jews, He resurrectedin three days, and showed Himself alive by many infallible proofs,being seen of many of the chosen for forty days, in which He spoke ofthe things pertaining to the kingdom of God. And then He ascendedback to the throne of God. That is when He sent back the Holy Ghost,which was for our soul’s redemption—and now we are redeemed. Andwhen Paul came on the scene, he said in the Book of Romans, “We waitfor the redemption of the body.” Well, we have come into that time, asthe mystery of the coming of the Lord Himself is now revealed andmanifested in the earth in the wife of the Lamb. And as Christ and Jesusbecame one, we see now that it is the same unity in us, the members ofthe body of Christ, the wife of God’s Son, His Christ wife.

In the Book of 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Paul spoke of this spiritual comingof the Lord making His descent back to earth, saying, “For the Lord him-self shall descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of the archangel,and with the trump of God.” Notice, Paul spoke of this coming in threestages. In the first two stages, Jesus Christ was expressing Himself inthe baptism of the Holy Ghost leading up to this trumpet sounding.And this trumpet brings us into the fullness of the body of Christ. Soby the time of this trump of God message, we have already received therevelation of the life of the first two stages that has been laid away inthe chronicles of fulfilled Word. So in the sounding of this last trumpet,we become aware that the shout and the voice of the archangel has al-ready had their effect in relating to the spiritual coming of Christ. Thisall took place while Christ was still shown in the Mighty Angel, beforeour baptism into the fullness of Christ that made us Christ the wife, re-placing the Mighty Angel that Christ was showing Himself in until themessage of the Lamb’s wife came into its fullness. Now all the doors ofheaven are open for this trump of God message that is now soundingforth through Christ the wife of the Lamb.

This trumpet message has gotten the espoused virgin married to the

105THE JOY OF LIVING HERE AFTER THE COMING OF CHRIST JESUS

Lord Jesus, our Husband and King, which was the result of taking andeating up the little book of Revelation, Chapter 10. And now the virginhas become the wife of the Son of God, thus making us bone of His boneand flesh of His flesh, which is the little book in human flesh—the resultof the sounding of the trumpet of God. So now the message of the wifeof the Lamb is seen in Ephesians 4:13-16, Ephesians 5:30-32, and Reve-lation 19:7-8, showing the little book in another form. And it is onlyseen in the Christ wife, who is now married to God’s own Son by aproxy marriage. This is so, because we have taken the little book forthe redemption of our mortal body and eaten it up. And now it is avail-able only by the wife’s words. For our words are the same as the wordsof our Lord Jesus, because we speak for our Husband, as the livingWord is made flesh and is dwelling among us.

In 1 John 1:1-2, John said, “Our eyes have seen and our hands havehandled the Word of life.” That was referring to the man Jesus Christthen; but it is the same for the wife now. This trumpet sounding in ourday is none other than the Word made flesh in the wife of God’s onlybegotten Son, walking here on earth as the living Word and speakingfor the Lord Jesus Christ. And in this time of the trump of God, thedead in Christ are going to appear and we are also being changed intoglorification. That is now a reality to us as we have been baptized intothe message of the fullness of Christ and have become bone of His boneand flesh of His flesh—and that is what you are looking at today. Andit is just the beginning of what is in store for us, the wife of the LordJesus. Amen.

Now I do not want anyone to ever think that I am saying, “We areJesus.” No, I am saying, “We are Christ the wife of Jesus.” And at pres-ent, Jesus is sitting on the throne of God in heaven and He will staythere in the heavenly realm until after the tribulation period is over.Peter told us in the Book of Acts, Chapter 3, that the heavens must retainHim until the time of the restitution (millennial reign). That is whenour Lord Jesus comes back to earth; it is after the tribulation period, andwe come back with Him dressed in fine linen, clean and white. Andone of the first things that our Lord Jesus does when He arrives backon earth is, He binds the devil and casts him into the bottomless pitwhere he is held in place. In this last day the bottomless pit is openedand demon spirits and powers have come upon the earth. The deviland his angels are going forth and causing great damage; but at the endof the great tribulation period, here comes our Lord Jesus back to earth,putting down everything that is ungodly. At this time, Satan cannot op-erate because he will be bound for a period of one thousand years,which is the millennial reign. And then at the end of the millennial

106 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

reign, Satan is loosed again to go out and deceive the nations—thosethat do not belong to the Lord. But fire comes down from heaven anddestroys them. This is the end of all sin; sin will never be on the earthagain. Then at this time, the wicked are raised and judged, and alongwith the devil and his angels, they will be cast into the lake of fire. Afterthis, there will be no more devil, no more sinners; everything that is evilwill be done away with completely and the former things will not evencome into mind. That will leave a natural people here on earth witheternal life who will be caretakers of the earth, and they will bring theirhonor and glory into the city. And we will all have a wonderful time.They will come to the city, rejoicing and shouting and praising the Kingof all the earth with joy unspeakable, and then go back to their ownhomes, oh so happy!

So I want to make sure that someone does not think I am saying, “Webecome Jesus, because we do not.” Jesus is Jesus, and He will be theKing, and He is the Son of God. And even in eternity, He is called theLamb of God. So, Jesus has not changed what He is; for it was HisSpirit, the fullness of Christ in the form of the Mighty Angel that camedown from heaven unto us and we were baptized into Christ, makingus Christ the wife of the Lamb. And that is just like the spirit that wasin Adam. When God created Eve in the flesh from Adam, He made herfrom one of Adam’s bones, flesh of his flesh, and spirit of his spirit.Adam and Eve were separate, but yet they were one in heart, in soul,and in spirit—one flesh. Likewise, we the wife are manifesting the per-fect man, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 4:13-16 and Ephesians 5:30-32)

So again, the title of the message is, The Joy of Living Here After the Com-ing of Christ Jesus. I want you to notice that—the coming of Christ Jesus.Now the reason I am saying Christ Jesus is because of the attributes ofJesus Christ that are part of the Christ that He sent to us, His wife. Andwith those attributes in us, we represent the Jesus that walked here onearth in His earthly ministry. And now in us are His works, being seenas the perfect man, the stature of the fullness of the Son of God. Yet, itis His wife expressing Him. He brought those feminine attributes,which was the Christ part of our Lord Jesus, to His wife. He separatedthe masculine attributes from the feminine attributes, and He gave usHis feminine attributes and made us His Christ wife. Just as it was withAdam and Eve, those are the things that He put within us. In otherwords, when we walk around here, we are representing our Husband,the Lord Jesus Christ. We are Christ the wife, representing Jesus. If youwant to see Jesus, look at us. Because we are His Christ, we are Hiswife. The Bible speaks of the Lord and His Christ. (Revelation 11:14)

107THE JOY OF LIVING HERE AFTER THE COMING OF CHRIST JESUS

So Christ, being a part of Jesus the Christ, is also part of God the Fa-ther. Here we see the fullness of the Godhead. That is how Godthrough Jesus Christ shed His own blood; for He was in Jesus Christ asHe purchased the church with His own blood. (Acts 20:28) This wasdone through that Word made flesh, Jesus the Christ. And rememberChrist was part of it all. Then when He came in the form of the HolyGhost, that was to give salvation, which was to the Jews first. And thenChrist came to Paul on His way to Damascus and struck him down; andat that time Paul began to preach Christ. He began to talk about ChristJesus. He began to talk about ‘Christ in you, the Hope of Glory!’ Andhe brought forth a new language, using words like she, her, espoused vir-gin, wife. This was something new to the twelve apostles; it was a dif-ferent message (the gospel according to Paul) than what the twelve had.In the Book of 2 Corinthians 5:20, Paul tells us that he was standing therein Christ’s stead. He was standing in representation of Christ, becausePaul was hoping to get the espoused virgin married; for he said, “ThatI might present you to one Husband.” But the presenting did not takeplace. Paul said, “I fear, lest as the serpent beguiled Eve, so shall yoube beguiled from the simplicity that is in Christ (meaning the simplicitythat was in his gospel).” And that is exactly what happened to the vir-gin.

Paul started sounding the trumpet before he left, which was layingthe foundation for the sounding of this last trumpet message that com-pletes our marriage. And then the departed saints become visibleamong us and we are changed into a body like unto our Lord JesusChrist. (1 John 3:2)

There is a trumpet sounding today, and it is not giving an uncertainsound. We know what it means. It is not telling us to prepare for war.It is telling us that our warfare is over; and there is wonderful peace,because we know that Christ has come, and we are living in the joy ofChrist. And we are not looking for the coming of Christ, we are living inthe fullness of Christ that came down. And now Christ the wife has be-come His flesh and bones, because we were baptized into Him. (Eph-esians 5:30-32)

See, the marriage is a mystery. God took a rib from Adam and createdEve. He took all the feminine attributes out of Adam and put them intoEve. And that was the creation of Adam’s wife. Then she was of Hisflesh and bones, with that very life that started as part of Adam’s veryown life. And through Eve it grew into a wonderful feminine life thatmatched perfectly with Adam’s. So that is what Paul was saying, andthat is the way with this message.

Notice, Eve never did become Adam, and Adam never did become

Eve, but they were part of one another. And Eve was the representationof Adam in his absence. The devil through the serpent deceived Eve,and Adam knowing he was doing wrong went along with her in eatingof the tree of knowledge without the tree of life being involved. Buteverything went according to God’s plan anyway. So for us, there is joyunspeakable, and our desire is that we live our lives with the joy of theLord flowing out of us.

One of the things that I can do is to look back in my life and realizethat the Lord blessed me before I was ever converted or knew anythingabout Him. Many times He would direct me, and I would know some-how that there was something going on in my life. It was that predes-tination doing its work. I had the fear of the Lord somewhat, evenbefore I was converted and received salvation for my soul. Somehowit seemed that something was saying, “Do not go too far.” I have neverbeen drunk in my life. I have never drank too much alcoholic bever-ages; although one time, before I was born again, I went riding aroundwith some of the boys and we all decided to go camping and do a littlefishing. Well, they had a whole case of beer, and they were drinkingand enjoying themselves; and some of them began to get somewhat in-toxicated. But I was afraid. I did not want to get to the place where Iwould not know what I was doing, and not know what I was thinking,and not have control of myself. So there was a little something holdingme, keeping me from going that way. I believe it was God. I believe itwas the predestination. I believe it was just like Moses in Bible days;when he reached a certain time, a certain age, it came into his heart togo visit his brethren. That was God working His will in a sinner boy.

I preached a message recently about Moses going to see his brethren,entitled, It Happened When it Came into Our Hearts. See, it comes intoour heart; and we cannot do it until it comes into our heart. And nowit has come into our heart to realize and know and accept this trumpetmessage. Yes, it goes contrary to all religion (religious systems) and itshows us that religion itself is from Satan and that it is the spirit of in-iquity. We do not have religion; we have salvation. Religion tells youto do this or do that; it puts one in bondage. Religion also tries to usethe grace of God in a perverted manner. In some cases, religious peoplesay, “Jesus paid the price for our sins, so let us rejoice, eat and drink andbe merry,” without any concerns for whether something is right orwrong; thus bringing the grace of God into a carnal realm and makingit of none effect. And at other times, when someone brings the trueWord of God, religion will say, “That is not the way our church teachesit,” or “That is not the way I have been taught.” Well, it does not makea bit of difference what your church teaches, or how you have been

taught. The Words of Christ are coming forth, and that prevails overeverything else. The former things have passed away; and the comingof Christ Jesus in His fullness has already taken place. He came, andthe religious world knew nothing about it.

Just like when He came, born of a virgin named Mary; the world knewnothing about it. I read a story that I thought was real good, which isin the Book of John, Chapter 9, where it tells about a man that was bornblind, and Jesus came by and saw the man; then He spit on the groundand made clay of the spittle and He anointed the man’s eyes with theclay and said unto him, “Go wash in the pool of Saloam.” And whenhe did, he could see. The thing is, his eyes came open. Have your eyesbeen opened? Lord, put a little spittle and mud on those whose spiri-tual eyes are still blind that they may see clearly what is going on today.

So the world did not know anything about it when Jesus Christ camethe first time. This was especially true when it came to religion. For ifthe prince of this world would have really known, they would not havecrucified the Lord of glory. Because when they crucified the Lord ofglory, that ended Satan’s reign right there. When we walk with Jesusby faith, Satan has no power over us; for in the Book of Hebrews 2:14,it says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, healso himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroyhim that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” Death came because thedevil came and tricked Eve; then Adam fell also, which brought thedeath sentence in. So the devil gained the power of death. Before thefall of mankind, starting with Adam and Eve there was no death, noway they could die, until they stepped across the line and broke God’sWord. And then that brought the death sentence upon all mankind.

So Jesus referred to death as being of the devil; but ‘Jesus came to de-stroy him that had power of death, that is the devil.’ Now have we ac-cepted it? Yes, the wife of the Lamb accepts that Jesus Christ hasdestroyed him that had the power of death, and that our Lord Jesus isthe source of life. In the Book of John 10:10 (I love this), Jesus calledSatan a thief, saying, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, andto destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have itmore abundantly.” And in that same chapter, Jesus brings in propheticWord about His life; for He says in Verses 17-18, “Therefore doth my Fa-ther love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No mantaketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, andI have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”Jesus Christ laid down His life there on Calvary; then after being downin hell preaching to the spirits in prison, He came right back to His bodyand picked it up again and was here for forty days and nights teaching

the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.Remember the two disciples on the way to Emmaus, they were so sad.

But here came the glorified Jesus Christ and joined them and beganwalking with them, and He asked, “Why are you so sad? And whatmatter of conversation is this that you are having?” They began to tellHim about Jesus of Nazareth and His crucifixion, and said, “We thoughtHe would be the one to redeem Israel.” And Jesus said unto them,“Thou fools, and slow of heart to believe what the prophets have spo-ken.” And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expoundedunto them all the scriptures concerning Himself. (Luke 24:13-35) Andthat is the way many of the people are today. They are so sad; and somewill say, “We are waiting for the Lord Jesus Christ to come.” Well, thatwill be after the tribulation period; but Christ Jesus has already come.He has come and is giving us joy unspeakable and full of glory. We aredead to the world and our life is hid with Christ in God. We were bap-tized into the fullness of His body and are representing the Lord JesusChrist, His Word, His power, His attributes; for we are here as the lightof the world.

When Jesus was here before crucifixion, He said, “I am the light of theworld.” (John, Chapter 9) Paul said the same in 1 Thessalonians, Chap-ter 5, “Ye are the children of light, and the children of the day.” Do yousee that? Who is the light? Paul said in his day, “Ye are written epistles,written and read of all men,” meaning they were the Word of God.Some may say, “You cannot see the Word of God, can you?” Absolutely!As I mentioned earlier, 1 John 1:1-2, says, “That which was from the be-ginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which wehave looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the lifewas manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you thateternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)” In otherwords, Jesus Christ was that Word made flesh. Verse 3, “That which wehave seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship withus: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.” Then in John1:1, 14, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and theWord was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” Andnow, once again, the Word is made flesh, in and through the wife of theLamb. We are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. What is that? Itis the Word that was with the Father in the beginning, and we are partof it. We were in the thought of God. And He has already been overhere and has seen us as the feminine part of His Word Son. So He putour name in the Book of Redemption. Yes, we were in His mind, Hispredestinated plan.

111THE JOY OF LIVING HERE AFTER THE COMING OF CHRIST JESUS

Now let us read in 1 Thessalonians 4:13. It says, “But I would not haveyou to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep,” In otherwords, we are not ignorant concerning them that are dead because hereis a message; they are hearing a voice. When He came, He brought thesouls of those that are to be part of the wife (those who have passed onin death through time) back to this earth, so that they could hear thistrumpet message and be connected with their body in the resurrection.They are at present taking on the flesh and bone of this Word; for theyare part of the wife. That is why they can hear this trumpet message.“that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” In other words, donot be crying about those that have gone on, because He brought theirtheophanies down to the earth as He made His descent. Paul told usabout them in his prophecy. And do not think that they have no hope.They are not dead; they are alive. The only thing that is dead aboutthem is their physical body that has decayed in the earth, but God takesthe Word and by His Spirit He creates a perfect Word body for theirtheophanies which came down, which will be a Word body with no im-perfections. Anything that was not part of God’s ordained plan of per-fection, it is not going to be in that new body. That new body isabsolutely like the Lord saw it before the world was. And that was ab-solute perfection. It is a Word body that comes forth.

So we are not sorrowing about those that have gone on, because Hebrought them into this same realm. This is also spoken of in Hebrews,Chapter 12. It says, “We have come to heavenly Jerusalem.” And thisheavenly Jerusalem has come to us, and we are surrounded by an in-numerable company of angels and the spirits (souls) of just men aremade perfect. They are hearing this message; they hear the same thingwe do; they have the same faith that we have; they have the same joythat we have; and it is joy unspeakable and full of glory in the joy of liv-ing here after the coming of Christ Jesus. That is why we have so muchjoy; that is why people do not understand us; that is why people thinkwe should be sad when things go wrong. We are not concerned aboutmaterial things of this life, getting a new car, a new house, a new this,or a new that. It means nothing to us. There is one thing that is impor-tant to us and that is Christ, as we are members of His body, of His fleshand of His bones, doing what He has ordained us to do.

Now watch the next verse here. Paul is saying in Verse 14, “For if webelieve that Jesus died and rose again, (yes, we believe that) even so them alsowhich sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” (God sent them with Christ.)What does that mean? When He came back, all those souls that are tobe part of the wife came with Him. See, this message gives fine linen,

112 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

clean and white, and that is the only way they will get it; and this is onlyfor the wife. For not all of God’s saints come forth at the time of the rap-ture, only the wife part of the departed.

Remember here that those saints that are not part of the wife of theLamb, who are not part of the rapture, will not come forth until wecome back to this earth after the tribulation period; and at that time theywill be raised up to live in the millennial reign. Revelation, Chapter 20,shows the resurrection of these other saints that will come forth and re-ceive their position after we return back to earth. But they are notdressed in fine linen, clean and white, and they do not become bone ofHis bone and flesh of His flesh. They are part of the family of God; butthey are not the wife of the Lamb. That is the difference.

In the past, many ministers could be heard saying, “I preach only whatPaul preached.” But if we do not move on with the Word for this daybut just stay with what Paul said, we are just staying on the foundation.Because there is living Word in this hour. Even Paul himself, the greatapostle, said, “I am pressing for the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”He was pressing; he was reaching for it. Well, Paul, we have got it now;for the Lord Himself has come, and we are rejoicing in the joy of livinghere after the coming of Christ Jesus in the fullness of His Spirit. Verse15 says, “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which arealive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which areasleep.” In other words, he is saying, “We which are alive and remaintill the coming shall not precede them which are asleep.” Watch. Verse16, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with thevoice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shallrise first:” And it is in the trump of God that we are now living. Paul’sprophecy changed forms and became the last trump of God. “And thedead in Christ shall rise;” that is where we are. So they are listening tothe trumpet with us. They are getting something that puts flesh andbone Word on those spirits (souls). See, this Word is the flesh and bone.The Word becomes flesh and bone. That is what Paul was saying, “Yeare my epistles.” So those saints that were laid away—we are not wor-rying about them, because they are going to get up first; for their soulsare hearing the same thing we are hearing. They are the redeemed andthey are clothed in this message of bone of His bone and flesh of Hisflesh. That body will come forth and be identified, because it will be aWord body. Just like each one of us are different from one another, andwe have different gifts of God, yet we are all one—bone of His bone andflesh of His flesh. We are all part of Him, and we all have the mind ofChrist.

Now let us go to the Book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15, Verse 51. It

113THE JOY OF LIVING HERE AFTER THE COMING OF CHRIST JESUS

says, “Behold, I shew you a mystery;” Now a mystery is unknown unlessGod reveals it. If God does not reveal this, then you are not going toget it right. Notice, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,but we shall all be changed.” Verse 52, “In a moment, in the twinkling of aneye, at the last trump: (watch the order of it) for the trumpet shall sound,(that is what you are hearing now) and the dead shall be raised incorrupt-ible, and we shall be changed.” Not, “You shall die!” It is the same thingin 1 Thessalonians, Chapter 4—‘we which are alive and remain till thistakes place’—we are going to see those from other ages appear and weare going to be changed. See, because the dead hear this same message.Verse 53, “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal mustput on immortality.” That is the dead and the living, together. For thosethat have already gone by the grave, they are going to come up and puton immortality. And we that are living are going to put on immortality.In other words, we will all get glorified bodies. And we are now clothedin fine linen, clean and white; and there is no difference in the clothingof the living that are changed and the clothing of the dead that areraised.

So the joy of living here after the coming of Christ Jesus. Notice theword after. We are now living after the coming of Christ Jesus, which isalready behind us, as the former things have passed away, and we havegone into a new life that is now here for the wife of the Lamb, and weare manifesting the fullness of Christ. The wife is showing forth theLord Jesus, the perfect man, right here in the earth.

Heavenly Father, we come to you at the close of this message, praising youand thanking you. Lord, may all the hearers of this message, those that youhave truly revealed this to, who are part of the wife of the Lamb, may they re-ceive this joy and realize that we are living here ‘after’ the coming of ChristJesus, and it is joy unspeakable and full of glory. The former things were whenwe were waiting for your coming. And now, Lord, you have come and we areliving in the fullness of you. And the world does not know it, they cannot seeit, just like when you came in the flesh and walked amongst mankind. But wesee the coming of Christ Jesus and we believe it and we are walking in it. Andwe, the wife of the Lamb, are the very Christ in the earth by the anointing ofthe Lord. And we thank you for this. And these words, as they go forth, maythey bless those that you have ordained them for. And not only that, Lord, butmay everyone that hears this message get a blessing, because our leaves are forhealing, and may they receive this healing from the leaves of the tree of life. Inthe precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

115THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME

THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY IN ANOTHER FORM

Why Would You Tell Us Such Things As These?

Let us pray before beginning our message. Heavenly Father, I pray thatyou will bless us as we read the Word of God. We thank you for furnishing theanointing that breaks every tether, that anointing that even the angels desireto look into that gives such things as these, this wonderful message, and therevealing of mysteries. Oh, God, we appreciate you and appreciate the Word,in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Today I want to take a thought and title it, The Five Fold Ministry inAnother Form. And I also want to add a subtitle to it, Why Would YouTell Us Such Things as These? Now the words ‘five fold ministry’ is notsaid as such in Paul’s writing; but since the ministry has been describedas being five separate ministerial gifts for the perfecting of the saints,the words ‘five fold ministry’ seems to have been very fitting in the ab-sence of a more appropriate description of the ministry that God pro-vided for the saints in days gone by. This was an acceptable terminologyas a way of saying that the ministry consisted of more than one man inbringing us up to the point where Christ came in the second leg of Hisspiritual coming. For this second leg of His coming means that He hascome in His fullness. And since this time, the espoused virgin has be-come the wife of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So now we see that Christ came as a body for us to be baptized into,thus making a way for us to enter into this fullness, as both legs of Hisspiritual coming is completed at this time, since Ephesians 4:13-16 hasbeen activated. At this time, all the gifts of the Spirit were elevated tothe point where the ministry and all the other gifts began to functiontogether for the purpose of edifying all members of the body of Christ.Thus making us part of one another in our love and respect for thewhole body, whether we have a preaching or teaching gift or anothergift. Here is where we get the revelation and knowledge that Eph-esians 4:13-16 shows the ‘five fold ministry’ in another form, as theministry and all the other members with their gifts are one, and ChristJesus is the Head of the body, and all members of the wife have thesame mind. This means that those of the five fold ministry are no longerrulers but are leaders and helpers of the other members of the body asall the other members assist in the leadership. This is done completelyby our working together with all members; and we are edifying one an-other in the love of God, with the gifts given to each member for thebenefiting of each other.

116 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

We know that not all the members of the wife are called to be thepreaching part of the body. So what we are looking at in Ephesians 4:13-16 is the fact that the Lord Jesus, who remains in heaven until after thegreat tribulation, has sent His Christ Spirit to earth, and we were bap-tized into Him, thereby taking on and taking in the attributes that hascome to us straight from God’s own Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. This isnow our marriage to the Lamb which took place by a proxy marriagein the absence of the Lord Jesus Christ in His glorified human person.This means that the Word that Jesus was from and the Word that weare from is the same Word, which means that the glorified bodies of theSon’s wife is exclusively of His flesh and bones, and are not just of thedust of the earth as others that will be resurrected directly from theearth as earthy. When God created Adam’s wife, Eve, He did not takeof the earth to create her, but He took a rib directly from Adam to createher so that she could be made from the flesh and bone and spirit ofAdam. Eve had to be the same as Adam, and be created directly fromAdam, but only in the feminine with all the feminine attributes givenunto her from Adam; thus leaving Adam with only the masculine at-tributes. So with this said, let us look at the Son of God’s wife, with allHis feminine attributes in us. And now since this has happened, it hasbrought us into a new area of God’s working, so we cannot expecteverything to be as it was in former days, as we are now married toGod’s own Son and are doing all His bidding. And being directly fromthe Son (His rib), it is easy to be one with Him.

So those are things that have happened here in this last day as we seeGod working out His plan in His Son’s wife. And we are enlightenedto this Word that is being preached by someone that is led by the Spiritand baptized into the body of Christ; and by revelation we know thatwe are part of the body of Christ. We are praising God for our day ofvisitation as we have been married to our Husband, Lord, and King,and are now of His flesh and of His bones. This means that we are nolonger tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine;for there is absolutely zero difference in doctrine among those that Godallows to speak to His Son’s wife. God has apostolic leadership insidethe body and everyone else has the same mind and everyone else is ofthe same judgment. See, we cannot be tossed to and fro, because wehave reached the stature of the fullness of Christ, as Christ has comedown from heaven and is here in fullness as the wife of God’s Son.

Therefore, to make what I am saying clear, I will say this: Our mes-sage as the wife at the present time is not anymore saying unto the vir-gin, “Go take the little book and eat it up,” because we have already

117THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY IN ANOTHER FORMWhy Would You Tell Us Such Things As These?

done that; yes we have eaten up the little book and became what the lit-tle book represented. And now our message is, “Rejoice and be exceed-ingly glad and give honor to Him; for the marriage of the Lamb hascome, and now we are clothed in fine linen, clean and white.” (Revela-tion 19:7-8) We are witnessing the truth of the saying, “You are whatyou eat,” for we truly have become what we ate, which is what the littlebook was before we ate it up, and it now has become our flesh andbones.

So in reading Paul’s writings, it was the same in Paul’s day when thevirgin was eating Paul’s message as he preached it; for he said to them,“Ye are my epistles. Ye are what I preach.” He preached the livingWord; and the virgin was the same (the living Word) until she fell be-cause of hearing another voice. That is when he informed us that theletter of the Word will kill. So if all you have is the letter of the Word,it will kill spiritually. But he said, “It is the Spirit that giveth life.” Inother words, the Bible, the written Word, gives good knowledge; for itis the book of knowledge—the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.But unless it is connected with the tree of life, it brings death instead oflife. Jesus said, “These words I speak unto you, they are Spirit and theyare life.” The religious people said, “But Moses said.” And Jesusreplied, “Yes, Moses said; but I say unto you.” See, Jesus knew all aboutwhat Moses said, but He came preaching the Word of God in anotherform (living form); for He was the Word made flesh. It is just like theliving Word that came from Gabriel to a virgin named Mary; for hisWord became flesh and bone within Mary—the Word was made flesh.The same thing happened to us when we ate the Word seen in the formof the little book. And now we are the Word made flesh. We are notjust from the earthy soil but are direct from the living Word as Jesuswas.

Now I am going to be reading in the Book of Ephesians, Chapter 4,and I want you to catch the point that Verses 11 and 12 represent thefive fold ministry before we were baptized into the fullness of the bodyof Christ, which has now taken place for us, the wife of God’s Son, mar-ried by proxy as Revelation, Chapter 10, shows. And here is where ourfaith was quickened, even as Abraham and Sarah’s faith was quickenedto the point of receiving the promised son.

Now when God spoke to Abraham, He said, “Sarah, thy wife shallconceive and bear a child, and I will multiply you.” And this promiseof God did not happen for many years, and Abraham kept getting olderand older; but there was a promise and God confirmed it by two im-mutable things (things that could not be changed). God confirmed itby an oath for confirmation which was the end of all strife, and He

118 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

swore by Himself; because there was no greater to swear by. (Hebrews,Chapter 6) Notice that, ‘the oath for confirmation is the end of all strife.’And that is our marriage to God’s Son, as we were baptized into thefullness of the body of Christ. And that ends all strife. And that is be-cause there was a voice that spoke from heaven in Revelation, Chapter10, and told us to go and take the little book and eat it up. We took it,and we ate it up; and that ended all strife. We became what we ate; andnow we are the little book in another form; members of His body, of Hisflesh and of His bones. (Ephesians 5:30-32)

Now before I read in the Book of Ephesians, I want to bring in some-thing very inspiring that my wife Barbarajean read last evening andbrought to my attention. It is in the Book of Judges, Chapter 13. Hereit tells about an angel of the Lord as he was sent to tell about the birthof Samson. In those days, an angel would come up and begin to talk toa person and they would not know if it was a man or an angel they weretalking to, because the angel would come in the form of a man. Andthat still happens. So here in Judges, Chapter 13, we read that Samson’smother was barren (she could not have children). But one day whileshe was in the field, she met a man, whom she perceived was a godlyman, and the man talked to her and told her that she would have achild. She went and told her husband, Manoah, what the man said toher. Well, her husband prayed to the Lord God, asking Him to send theman back again to give further instructions about the child. And Godhonored Manoah’s request and sent the angel back. One has to read theentire chapter to get the whole story; but for now, I want to pick up thestory at Verse 12, after the angel came back. It says, “And Manoah said,Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shallwe do unto him? And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, Of all that Isaid unto the woman let her beware. She may not eat of any thing that comethof the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any uncleanthing: all that I commanded her let her observe. And Manoah said unto theangel of the Lord, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made readya kid for thee. And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, Though thou detainme, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou mustoffer it unto the Lord. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the Lord.And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thysayings come to pass we may do thee honour? And the angel of the Lord saidunto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret? So Manoahtook a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the Lord: andthe angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on. (Keep inmind, they thought this was just a man of God.) For it came to pass, whenthe flame went up (burning the sacrifice) toward heaven from off the altar,

119THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY IN ANOTHER FORMWhy Would You Tell Us Such Things As These?

that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah andhis wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.” In other words,there is a man standing here, and they are doing a sacrifice, and sud-denly the man stepped over into the fire and zoom, he was gone! Noticewhat they did next; they fell on their faces to the ground. “But the angelof the Lord did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knewthat he was an angel of the Lord. And Manoah said unto his wife, We shallsurely die, because we have seen God.” They realized when the manstepped over into the fire of the altar, “This was not a regular man. Wehave seen God!” Actually, it was an angel of the Lord. Now watch thewisdom of Manoah’s wife as we read this verse again. Verse 22 says,“And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seenGod.” Verse 23, “But his wife said unto him, If the Lord were pleased to killus, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at ourhands, (watch) neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor wouldas at this time have told us such things as these.” Manoah’s wife had somespiritual sense in that head of hers; for she said, “Why would God showus all these things if He was going to kill us? Nor would at this timehave told us such things as these.” She had wisdom and told her hus-band, “That does not make sense, Manoah. If the Lord is going to killus and take us to the grave, why would He accept the sacrifice, and whywould He give us all these secrets and tell us all these good things?What would the purpose of it be?” And Verse 24 says, “And the womanbare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the Lordblessed him.”

Now in this day, we know what the Lamb’s wife is saying, (and thethought fits mighty well with that which Manoah’s wife said), “Whywould the Lord have showed us all these things and told us such thingsas these if He was going to let us come short of His promise for thisday? And why would He have given us a revelation of Paul’s propheticmessage of, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep; butwe shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at thelast trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised in-corruptible, and we shall be changed”? Why would He tell us aboutbeing physically translated, if He was not going to do it? And whywould He tell us that water baptism was the baptism for the dead; butwhen Christ came in His fullness, we would be baptized into His bodyand become bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh? Why would Hetell us all these things if He was going to take us to the grave? No, Heis not going to take us to the grave. He would not have told us suchthings as these if He was not going to do them. There is a message herenow, saying that we can escape death, that we do not have to go by the

way of the grave. Well, someone might say, “The Bible says that it isappointed unto men once to die and then the judgment.” Yes, that is anatural law; but I know a greater law (a spiritual law) that overcomesthat, which has been activated in this hour by the sounding of this trum-pet, which says, “We which are alive and remain till His coming are notgoing to die, but we are going to be changed.” And now that Christ hascome, that makes the difference. The coming of the fullness of Christchanged that law of going to the grave for the redemption of our body.

See, this was the same Christ that was in Jesus; and while Christ wasin Jesus, Christ took on the attributes of Jesus. In Ephesians 5:30-32 weread about Adam and Eve and how God took from Adam a rib and cre-ated Eve to be Adam’s wife. She was bone of his bone and flesh of hisflesh with that special part of the spirit of Adam that contained the fem-inine attributes. This shows us the Christ wife of God’s Son, our LordJesus Christ, who is our Husband and King. That is basically what Paulwas telling us in Ephesians 5:30-32; for he started by espousing a virginto be married to God’s Son, but the espoused virgin fell away, so themarriage could not take place at that time. But here came Christ againshown in Revelation, Chapter 10, in the form of a Mighty Angel, andthis time, Jesus Christ our Lord sent the fullness of Christ (the Spirit thatwas in Jesus) and the marriage took place by proxy; and we becamebone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. And it was completed as wecame to the perfection that was ordained for us.

Now when Paul was here, the fullness had not taken place. In thatday, only one leg of the spiritual coming of Christ was available. Butsee, there are two legs of the spiritual coming of Christ. The first legwas at Pentecost, the baptism of the Holy Ghost; but it did not producethe fullness of Christ. It did not put meat on the bone of that rib, be-cause the rib had not yet been ‘taken’ on the day of Pentecost, becausewhat happened on the day of Pentecost was for the Jews. The GentilePentecost took place at Cornelius’s house; and that was also the first legof the spiritual coming of Christ for the Gentiles. After this, Paul alonewent forth with a message. And although there were twelve apostlesto the Jews, Paul was not of that group. God sent him to the Gentiles;for when Paul was converted, he said, “I am the apostle to the Gentiles.I magnify my office.” (Romans 11:13) And then he went forth with amessage to get a virgin espoused to Christ. He tried to go to the Jews;but the Jews as a whole were not interested in what he had to say, asthey were the brethren of our Lord Jesus Christ, and not the wife. ButGod wanted a part of Israel to be included in the wife of the Lamb, thusproducing a group of saints that were neither Jew nor Gentile but a newcreation, which was called a new man. They were the ones that God

121THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY IN ANOTHER FORMWhy Would You Tell Us Such Things As These?

chose to hear by revelation the sounding of the trumpet as Paul wassounding it for his day. This fulfilled God’s desire to take that bone, therib, from the side of Christ Jesus, which was the Word that Paulpreached, to create a wife for His Son (just like He created a wife forAdam); and He completed this in this last day, by a message which hascome forth and put meat on that rib (bone). It has brought the life; forthe second leg has come, bringing us to the fullness of Christ.

Now let us read Ephesians, Chapter 4, starting with Verse 7. It says,“But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift ofChrist.” So when God gives a member of the body a gift, He gives thatmember grace to use it. And the Word says that we grow in grace andin knowledge. Now to Verse 11, “And he gave some, apostles; and some,prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;” Now ofthese five gifts, not a single one of them are given to women. This isthe one group of gifts that are specifically for men. See, He gave giftsunto men; and this is where the leadership of Christ in this body is seen.

Let us continue on with Verse 12, which tells us why He gave thesegifts. “For the perfecting (notice that word perfecting, which was ‘move-ment towards that point’) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, (this isdealing with the five ministering gifts), for the edifying of the body ofChrist:” Notice, Paul shows separation between the ministry and theother members of the body of Christ, but only to the point of showingleadership. So when we are baptized into the fullness of Christ in thishour, the ministry and the other members of the body of Christ are one.Notice, the ministry is part of the body of Christ, as well as the othermembers who have other gifts to edify the body. And now the minis-tering part (preaching part) is seen in the light that God has placed themto edify within the body, which brings glory to God. I say this becausethe ministry is part of the body and not outside the body telling the peo-ple what to do. Many times members, other than the preachers, getthings before the preachers do; and I, for one, am so happy when youshare these things with me. Because the things you get, I can take anduse to bless the other saints as I minister with my preaching gift. Verse13, “Till…,” which means the working of God now in the five fold min-istry is in another form. We still have the ministry, but it is in anotherform, in that all the other members of the body are edifying the preacheras well as being edified by the preacher. And in this form, we all speakthe same thing without a set of rules that demand us to do so, becausethe voice of Christ in the body is giving revelation to all the membersby the Spirit. There is an anointed ministry of God that God put in thebody, which He has tried and brought to perfection by baptizing us intothe fullness of Christ, thus making us part of the Word. And those that

are in the body are hearing and receiving the Word and they are nolonger tossed to and fro.

Watch Verse 13, “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowl-edge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature ofthe fulness of Christ.” (I preached three messages entitled, We Have Comeinto the Perfect Knowledge of the Son of God, Understanding the Perfect Manof Ephesians 4:13, and Reaching the Stature of the Fullness of Christ, whichare chapters in our book, The Gospel for the Wife in Israel, that sheds abright light on this.) Now this is a place where no one has ever beenprior to this time, because it could only be after Christ came down thatwe could reach the stature of the fullness of Christ. Notice that word‘stature,’ which means maturity; and in this maturity we gained statusin authority. This maturity could not be until Christ came in His full-ness. And the maturity could not be in this form until we were baptizedinto His fullness at which time we lost the death sentence. We reachedall that He was; and He is now shown forth in us, His wife. And thereis no difference in what is being done by us, the wife, than what wouldbe done if it was the Lord Jesus Christ standing right here doing thework, because this is Christ talking.

Just like when Paul spoke, he said, “This I say unto you,” and he toldthem certain things that were not even written. So if Christ spokethrough Paul, why would it be different for Christ to speak through us?Paul laid the foundation, and we have built upon it. There are thosethat say, “I believe in saying just what Paul said.” I say, “That is a realgood thing to do, if you do not want to go any further than the founda-tion.” Paul said by the wisdom of God, “I laid the foundation, but an-other builds thereon.” He laid the foundation and left us. But herecame Christ with a ministry to build on the foundation, and to completethe plan of God for us, the wife, and to put flesh and bones on eventhose that are coming into visibility; for God is creating a Word bodyfor them by this trumpet message that is going forth.

I had someone ask me, “Ben, do you believe God can do that?” I an-swered like this, “Let me tell you something: Once when Jesus waswalking down the road, there were ten men that had leprosy. And ifsomeone had leprosy, it was a law that they would have to cry, “Un-clean, unclean,” so that the people would not come near them (becauseit was contagious). In severe cases of leprosy, the flesh would decayaway and fall off the bone; and it is one of the most pitiful sights thatyou will ever see. But when Jesus met ten lepers, and they cried, “Un-clean, unclean,” Jesus just kept walking towards them. (No, He was notgoing to raise the dead; but it was just as miraculous.) And Jesus saidunto them, “Be thou cleansed!” And suddenly they got new flesh, and

123THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY IN ANOTHER FORMWhy Would You Tell Us Such Things As These?

were perfectly healed! See, resurrection is no more of a miracle thanthat was. Jesus spoke the Word, and His Word put new flesh on thosebones. And the Bible says that only two of them returned back to showtheir appreciation and thank Jesus, while the others went on their way.They were probably thinking, “I am healed, so I can do anything I wantto now. I will go out and see what I can get into tonight.” See, but thetwo started praising the Lord and shouting the victory for the new fleshon their bones.

Now watch, we reached the stature of the fullness of Christ. Verse 14,“That we henceforth be no more children, (we gained a status by growth),tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleightof men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” We arenot tossed to and fro, with one preacher preaching it this way and onepreaching that way. Verse 15, “But speaking the truth in love, may growup into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” This body has onemind. Then Verse 16, “From whom the whole body fitly joined together andcompacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual work-ing in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifyingof itself in love.” This took place after Revelation, Chapter 10, was fulfilledand we reached His fullness.

Do you see the five fold ministry in another form? It is brought intothe body; and one does not preach one thing, and another one preachsomething else. That is because there is the voice of Christ through theapostolic ministry, and we have the mind of Christ. Again, I want tosay that the ministry is part of the body, and all the body members arepartakers of it. And we, the ministry, encourage and bless one another,along with all those other ministering gifts; for He does not take awayany of these ministering gifts, He just includes all the gifts as part of thebody. He does not take away any of the nine gifts nor the fruits of theSpirit. We all have one mind, and our aim is to glorify God as we edifyone another in love, which is serving our Lord, who is also our Husbandand King. And everyone in this body knows this is the way, so let uswalk therein.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your love, goodness, and for the greatgrace that you have bestowed upon us in this hour. I pray that you will takethese words and you will use them for your glory. Lord, and where I may nothave said the things that I was trying to say, I pray that you will take and fillin the gaps for us. Oh, God, we bless your name and praise your name, in thename of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

125THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME

A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

It is time to read the Word of God this morning; and I am speakinghere about the written Word. The written Word would be of less valueexcept for the spiritual Word. One of the points I want to make in thismessage is that the original Word is Spirit. The written Word is like ournatural body; because I cannot see you without seeing your spirit thatis in the house you live in. So the Word lives in the house of the writtenWord. This means that it is the Spirit of the written Word that comesalive and makes the difference. So it takes revelation to have perfectunderstanding. Now let us pray.

Heavenly Father, I pray that you will use these words and bless this messageand help us to say words that will benefit the wife in this hour, in the name ofour Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Now I want to take a thought today and title it, A Promise Made is aPromise Kept. The promised Word is the only promise that never fails.I want to show that when God makes a promise, He always keeps Hispromise. So when God’s time comes for the fulfilling of that promise,it will then take place. The Bible says that Abraham called those thingsthat were not as though they were, because he was that sure of it. Why?Because God had said it, and he was going to claim the promise made—because a promise made is a promise kept.

Now I want to begin reading in the Book of Hebrews 6:12-15. It says,“That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patienceinherit the promises.” This is telling us that when God makes a prom-ise—believe it, stay with it, do not wavier from it. In the next verse iswhere I am taking my text scripture. Verse 13 says, “For when God madepromise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by him-self,” (Watch. God made a promise to Abraham, and because He couldswear by no greater, He swore by Himself. In other words, that is thetop of the line, making God Himself responsible for the fulfilling of it.That is why we know that it is sure and steadfast.) Verses 14-15, “Say-ing, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. Andso, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.” God kept Hispromise to His servants Abraham and Sarah. And as always through-out the Word, whenever God promises something, it is always just likeHe said it would be.

Notice, God made a specific promise to Abraham; He promised hima child, telling him the child would come forth out of his own body, andthat he would multiply his seed as the stars in heaven. But after manyyears had passed, Abraham stumbled some in his flesh at the promise

of God, as did Sarah, his wife; for they both began to doubt. Abrahamwas getting older and Sarah was getting older; and still no child wasborn. So Sarah gave Abraham her handmaiden, an Egyptian namedHagar, so that he could beget a child by her. And Abraham did as Sarahhad asked him to do. And as we follow the story, a child was produced,who was named Ishmael; and along with the child came many prob-lems. And those problems have continued even to this day; for this wasthe beginning of much of the turmoil and conflicts that we see in theMiddle East. (Genesis, Chapter 16)

In the Book of Genesis, Chapter 18, it shows us that Abraham regainedhis initiative; for there were some visitors that came to see him, whichstirred his heart. See, when God promises something, He knows thatthere are many ups and downs and failures involved between the timethe promise is made and the time the promise is kept. But one thingwe must always remember is that without any doubt, a promise madeby God is a promise kept. God never breaks His promises. God sworeto Abraham, and because He could not swear by anyone else greater,He swore by Himself, saying, “Abraham, I will multiply thee.”

Also, in the Book of Romans 4:18-20, according to what Paul wrote,Abraham was as good as dead; and with Sarah, it ceased to be with heras with women. But God came with a fresh Word, which did not changethe promise; it just reaffirmed it. That is what the preaching is aboutmany times; it reaffirms. When God gives us a promise in His Word,many times we think, “It does not seem like it is going to be the waythat God promised.” Well, that is the way Abraham and Sarah got; sothey formulated a plan, but their plan deviated from what God hadpromised. But God always keeps His promise. When He makes apromise, He keeps that promise. And He puts that faith within us tobelieve that promise.

Now in all fairness, Abraham and Sarah let their faith get low, andthey went about to accomplish God’s promise to them in a different waythan what was originally said. But then one day it came time for Godto fulfill His promise to Abraham and Sarah, so He sent them inspira-tion to believe the promise. Sometimes, God has to put inspiration ona promise; and then that promise comes alive. It becomes fresh again,and the enthusiasm is renewed. That is what happens when God putsinspiration in our heart to believe.

In the Book of Acts, Chapter 28, Paul was on his way to prison aftergoing through a shipwreck on his way to Rome; and they stopped at acertain place on their journey. And as word had spread around thatPaul was on a vessel that was going to be coming into port, the saintsmade plans to be at this port, and they came from the different places

127A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

to meet Paul. Well, Paul might have been the only believer on the ship,so when he saw the people coming, he thanked God and took courage.Paul still believed the promise of what the Lord said unto him, “Be ofgood cheer, Paul; for as you have testified of me in Jerusalem, so mustyou bear witness also at Rome.” But at the time, Paul’s faith was beingtried. God wanted to encourage him, so He sent these saints to meetPaul. They might have said, “Paul, Paul, we are so glad to see you!”And, no doubt, they were hugging him and telling him how much theyappreciated him and his letters and what he had done. And when Paulgot back on that ship again, he was a different Paul; for he thanked Godand took courage, realizing a promise made is a promise kept.

So this is what happened in Genesis, Chapter 18, with Abraham whenthe Lord appeared to him when he was sitting at the door of his tent.Abraham saw three men walking towards him and he greeted them andwanted them to stay and visit with him. Then he went into the tent andtold Sarah to take three measures of fine meal to make bread into cakesand put them on the fire while he ran and fetched a calf that was goodand tender and gave to his servant to prepare. Afterwards, he set it be-fore the men and they did eat. And they said unto Abraham, “Whereis Sarah thy wife?” Abraham said, “She is in the tent.” Then one of themen said, “I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life(God caused Abraham and Sarah to be like they were when He madethe promise); and Sarah thy wife shall have a son.” He was saying, “Thepromise that God made, He is going to keep.” Sarah heard it in the tentdoor, which was behind him, and she laughed within her heart, andsaid to herself, “Me, an old woman, shall I have pleasure again with mylord (Abraham), him being old also?” Watch God move on the scene.He is going to send a revival; He is going to revive that promise andgive them the courage that they need to obtain and possess the promise.And the Lord said unto Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, “ShallI bear a child in my old age”? Is anything too hard for the Lord? At thetime appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, andSarah shall have a son.” Then Sarah denied laughing, saying, “I laughednot;” for she was afraid. And he said, “Nay, but thou did laugh.” See,it did not matter that she laughed, because God promised. And whenGod promises, then He will fulfill His Word; for a promise made is apromise kept. Henceforth, Abraham and Sarah became young people;for in their heart and spirit and body, they did get young again, to thepoint that they could have the child. And that is what God does for usalso—the Word of God flows forth as He takes and renews His promiseto us; not that He has to make the promise again, but He renews ourcourage to go forth and obtain the promise.

128 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

So there was Abraham, an old man, and Sarah, an old woman, andthrough them here came ‘a promise made is a promise kept’ and theyhad a son and named him Isaac. See, when God makes a promise, Hefulfills it every time. This is also true about John’s father, a priest namedZacharias; for he was old, and his wife Elizabeth was old. In the Bookof Luke, Chapter One, an angel of the Lord came unto Zacharias andsaid unto him, “Thy prayer has been heard; for thy wife, Elizabeth, shallbear thee a son, and ye shall call his name John. And thou shall havejoy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall begreat in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strongdrink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’swomb. And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord theirGod. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, toturn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to thewisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”Zacharias told him, “How can that be? My wife and I are too old; forour time has already come and gone.” And the angel said unto him, “Iam Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God and have been sent tospeak to thee and to show thee these glad tidings. But because ye didnot believe my words, ye shall not be able to speak until the day thesethings shall be performed, which shall be fulfilled in their season.” Soit was about nine months later that John was born. God kept His prom-ise, and Zacharias began to speak again; for a promise made is a prom-ise kept.

Then in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 7, the prophet spoke of a promise,who many thought was impossible, saying, “Therefore the Lord Him-self shall give you a sign; for behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear ason, and His name shall be called Immanuel (meaning God with us).”Well, seven hundred and twelve years passed, and with most peoplethis promise had long been disregarded. But eventually, the day camethat this promise was to be fulfilled in a young virgin named Mary. Andthe angel, Gabriel, came unto her, and said, “Thou art highly favoured;the Lord is with thee, and has blessed thee among women.” (He saidbasically the same thing to Daniel, “Thou art greatly beloved.”) See, hedid not come and say, “You low-down thing, look at how many mis-takes you have made over the years. I can show you all your failures.”No, he did not say that. But he said, “Thou shall conceive in thy womband bring forth a son and shall call His name Jesus. He shall be greatand shall be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God shall giveunto Him the throne of His father David and He shall reign over thehouse of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end.” ThenMary said unto the angel, “How shall this be, seeing that I have never

129A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

known a man?” And the angel said, “The Spirit of God shall come uponthee, and that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called theSon of God.” And Mary said, “Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be itunto me according to thy Word.” And God fulfilled His Word of ‘apromise made is a promise kept’ bringing forth His only begotten Son,Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh.

So Mary, like Abraham, was strong in faith. And now here at the endtime, the wife of the Lamb is strong in faith, giving glory to God. Andagain, like Abraham, we do not stagger at the promise of God. That isthe way God looks at it. And it was the same with Sarah. So Paul said,“Sarah through faith received strength to conceive seed and deliver achild when she was past age, because she judged Him faithful who hadpromised.” Notice that, she judged Him faithful who had promised. See,God did not look at any failures; He looked at the promise. And that iswhat we have to do sometimes in order to obtain what God has for us.We do not look at failures; we look at promises—for a promise made isa promise kept. Because when we look at faith of Abraham and Sarahafter the visitation of the Lord that was shown in Genesis, Chapter 18,then we can say, “Abraham was strong in faith, and Sarah receivedstrength to conceive and bring forth a son in her old age.” See, this washow Paul looked at them, when he wrote about them; for he did not sayanything that would be of a negative nature. That is the way God looksat us; for He is looking at ‘a promise made is a promise kept’ that hasbecome Word made flesh, the wife of the Lamb.

Now I want to look at another promise that is found in the Book ofGenesis, Chapter 6. There was great wickedness upon the earth andthe Lord God was grieved in His heart. And the Lord said, “I shall de-stroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both manand beast and the creeping things and the fowls of the air; for it repen-teth me that I have made them.” But there was a man named Noah thatfound grace in the eyes of the Lord; for he was perfect in his generationand he was a man that walked with God. And God looked upon theearth and saw that it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his wayupon the earth. So God said unto Noah, “The end of all flesh is comebefore me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and I willdestroy them with the earth.” Then God told Noah that He was goingto send a flood and destroy all flesh on the face of the earth and for himto build an ark; and He told him how to build it. God said unto Noah,“But with thee will I establish my covenant; for ye shall come into theark, with thy wife and thy sons, and thy son’s wives.” Well, one hun-dred and twenty years passed as Noah preached to his generation whilehe was building the ark. And I am sure that the people laughed at him

during this time as he told them about God’s promise of a flood. Noahmust have had many times of discouragement; but he did not wavier,for he believed God’s Word and obtained ‘a promise made is a promisekept.’

So as we bring these promises through the Word of God, we can seethat God always keeps His Word, as He promised eternal life to thosethat kept His Word which they saw by revelation. This is seen in a mannamed Job, who said, “Though the skin worms devour this flesh (eventhough the resurrection had not been taught at this time, he began torealize by revelation that the life of God that he was a part of would liveon somewhere), in my flesh I shall see God.” Job was going to come forthin the power of the resurrection. He said, “When a tree is cut down,there is a sprout that comes up from that tree. But when a man dies,that is the end of him.” See, at first that was his thinking. But notice,when the anointing came upon him, he saw by the Spirit of God that apromise made is a promise kept; for he said, “In my flesh I shall seeGod.” And when Jesus went down and preached to the souls in prison,and raised those from the dead that died believing God, Jesus Christbrought Job right up with them. And He could have said to Job, “Job,I made the promise then, and now the promise is kept.” Praise God,our Lord Jesus Christ brought all those that were God’s seed in the OldTestament forth from the grave and they could be seen walking aroundalive again; and they could say, “A promise made is a promise kept!”(Matthew, Chapter 27)

I tell you, it is the same with those in the grave that died in the Lordwho are members of the wife, as they are raised from the dead and wethe living are changed, and we are raptured to return back to this earthwith the Lord Jesus Christ for the millennial reign as He comes as Kingof kings, and Lord of lords. And when we come back with Him as Hiswife, dressed in fine linen, clean and white, then we can shout in thestreets of Jerusalem, saying, “A promise made is a promise kept!” Andthe rest of the dead with eternal life are resurrected at this time and aregiven their place in the family of God’s kingdom of glorified saints. Thenthose that lived through the great tribulation, by God’s love and grace aretold to enter into the millennial kingdom of the Lord and His Christ wife.And along with God’s glorified family, these natural people live in thekingdom prepared by God in their natural bodies to care for this earth.

In the Book of Luke 17:30, it speaks of another promise that God made;for it says that the son of man would be revealed again. What was theson of man? In the Old Testament, the prophets were called son of man.And in the Book of Ezekiel, the son of man is used quite a bit. WhenJesus came, He said, “Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am?”Jesus called Himself the Son of man. We see when He met Philip, He

131A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

said, “I saw thee under a fig tree, a man with no guile.” He could tellpeople what was in their hearts. The Bible says that He did not needthat any man should tell Him about someone else; because He knewthe hearts of all men. The Bible says here in Luke, Chapter 17, that inthe last days the son of man would be revealed again. And there wassuch a man who revealed ‘the son of man again,’ named William Bran-ham. He was the seventh church age messenger with the spirit of Elijahon him. And he brought a message that went around the Gentile world.God made a promise that He would reveal the son of man again, andHe did. So once again, the son of man has been revealed to this Gentileworld, just like He was revealed to the Jews. God promised it and Goddid it; for a promise made is a promise kept.

Now through the sounding of the trumpet of 1 Corinthians 15:51-52,the Lord Jesus Christ is still speaking; for He is speaking through Hiswife, who is His flesh and bones. God promised it, and here it is. Thetrumpet is sounding, and the dead are rising. There is a people that areliving, that are breathing, that are walking, that are ordained to be theLamb’s wife clothed in fine linen, clean and white, to be raptured outof here; for a promise made is a promise kept.

So what we are seeing now is not only written Word in the Bible, butwe are seeing the living, breathing, talking Word. It is Christ unboundagain, walking the earth, and that is us, Christ the wife of the Lamb. Soto say we are Christ the wife is not something unknown or unheard of,or something that is not right; because Christ came down and we werebaptized into His body. And now what God has promised, is a promisekept; because now the body of 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 is flesh and bones.Ephesians 5:30-32 shows us as the fullness of the members of His body,of His flesh and of His bones in marriage, going forth and expressingthe perfect man in the earth.

Now we can look back all the way through God’s Word and see howGod brought everything to pass, even all those that came through thedark ages, through the time of bloody martyrdom, and then throughthe time of the voice of God’s prophet calling saints out of denomina-tions. And now we are not in a denomination nor any part of it, but wehave become the Christ that came down (shown in the Book of Revela-tion, Chapter 10, in the form of a Mighty Angel) as the Spirit that wewere baptized into, and He had a little book in His hand. And praiseGod, we heard a voice from heaven say, “Go and take the little book outof the hand of the angel.” And we went, and said, “Give me the littlebook.” And the angel said, “Take it and eat it up, it shall make thy bellybitter; but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.” So we took the little

book and ate it up. And yes, it was bitter in our belly, until it was di-gested within us and we became the Word that was in the little book.This means we have become the little book made flesh, or the little bookin another form, as we became its flesh and bones. So we are no longertossed to and fro; for we have the perfect knowledge of the Son of God,the perfect knowledge of the Word, as we have reached the stature ofthe fullness of Christ. And we can look back and see where we camefrom. But more importantly, we see that we are the wife of God’s Son.So the sun has come up; it is a new day, and we are rejoicing in it!

In last week’s message entitled, The Key to Unlock the Revelational Un-derstanding of the Coming of Christ in Fullness, we showed that first Hecame on the day of Pentecost, in the first leg of His spiritual coming.Then between the first and second leg, Paul came with a gospel to es-pouse a virgin to our Lord Jesus Christ, and the church ages came andwent as did their messengers (with the last one revealing the sevenseals). And after the second leg has come (the spiritual coming of Rev-elation, Chapter 10) here we are. And what has been produced byAlmighty God for His Son throughout all this time, is the body ofChrist, and that is the wife of God’s Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. So thispromise is kept today. God said at the end time He would have a trum-pet sounding. And the trumpet shall raise the dead and change the liv-ing; for a promise made is a promise kept.

God bless you. Can you say, “A promise made is a promise kept”? Sowhat God said is just as good as done, because He cannot lie; for a prom-ise made is a promise kept. And He promised that we would bechanged, in a moment, in the twinkling of eye, without going to thegrave. The fact is, He did not promise a resurrection to those that areliving and hearing this last trumpet message; but He did promise tochange our body into a glorified body—to be changed in a moment, inthe twinkling of an eye to be raptured. And the promise of the resurrec-tion at the time of the rapture, is promised exclusively to the membersof the wife that went by the way of death before this time of fullness.

Heavenly Father, we come to you now. First of all, we come blessing yourname and praising your name. And as we look and see what you have done forus, whatever we say in trying to be thankful, Lord, it would come short whenwe see what you have done for us. You have clothed us in fine linen. And Iknow that those who have gone on before us in death, those who are part of thewife, when they are made visible to us, they will be clothed in fine linen, cleanand white. Here is the trumpet message that does it. I pray, Lord, that you willhelp us to appreciate it, to love you with all our hearts and recognize what youhave given us and recognize who we are, and may we praise you for it and loveyou for it. A promise made is a promise kept, in the precious name of our LordJesus Christ. Amen.

133THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME

THE QUICKENING OF THE PROMISE IS THE END OF ALL STRIFE

Now it is time for the reading of God’s Word, and then we will dependon the Spirit to quicken it. If we only have the letter (or knowledge) ofthe Word, it will kill. Knowledge is good; but knowledge is not revela-tion and cannot produce eternal life. But when the Word is quickened,then the knowledge becomes very valuable. Henceforth, the Spirit andthe written Word become one. And it is only then that we can worshipthe Lord in Spirit and in truth.

When Jesus was born into the world, He was the Word. Then afterHe was baptized of John in the River of Jordan, the fullness of Christcame into Him, which brought the quickening power to the Word thatHe was; and then He could say, “My words are Spirit, and they are life.”So when Jesus Christ spoke the Word, the Spirit came forth to make theWord live. And He did not have to read everything He said, becauseHe was the Word made flesh with the anointing of Christ in Him. Andthis is now how it is with us (the wife of God’s Son), as this quickeningpower has made us the Word made flesh in this hour. (Ephesians 5:30-32)

So we can see the Bible is a wonderful book of knowledge, and I loveit. It gives us a good look back through time, and shows us how Goddealt with Israel, especially in the Old Testament. That is because Godmade a covenant with the nation of Israel and gave them a law to liveby. But when it came to the New Testament, that is when Paul cameforth in his ministry, and he went to the Gentiles. Through Paul, Christreached over and included the Gentiles in God’s plan. He made Paul alight to the Gentiles. Paul gave testimony to what the Lord told him(Acts, Chapter 26), saying, “You will be a light to the Gentiles, to turnthem from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God,that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance amongthem which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” And then as Paul’smessage progressed and the Gentiles began to come in and accept theLord Jesus Christ, God moved Paul’s message to another stage to in-clude the Jews in this selected group as he began to talk about a virginto the Lord, and began to talk about a new man and a new creation.Then it was revealed unto him that of this group, God was working to-wards getting a people to be the wife of His Son. Paul said about thisnew creation that they were neither Jew nor Gentile. And that is whatthe wife of the Lamb consists of, neither Jew nor Gentile, but a new manor a new creation. And this new creation that Paul spoke of in Eph-

134 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

esians, Chapter 2, that his espousal message created, has become theperfect man of Ephesians 4:13 in marriage in this day of the soundingof this last trumpet message.

Again I want to mention our book entitled, Christ the Wife: A Peoplewithout a Country. It shows that now we cannot say we are a Gentile,nor can we say we are a Jew, because we are neither Jew nor Gentile,but we are the wife of the Lamb. But take note here that God has somethings that He is going to do for the Jewish nation, which will be just asthe Word says; and every word is going to be fulfilled. But in this spaceof time, in the present, it is important to know where God is dealingand working, as this is the time for the wife of the Lamb. This is ourera of time. And here, we are neither Jew nor Gentile; we are Christ thewife of the Lamb, shown in Revelation 19:7-8.

Paul is the one that brought us the Word that produced the revelationthat we are neither Jew nor Gentile but a new man. (Ephesians, Chapter2) And then we built upon this revelation, and we became the perfectman of Ephesians 4:13-16. And although he laid this in the Word, it didnot come to pass in his day, because the espoused virgin fell away, andthe marriage of the Lamb had to be postponed. So the words that hespoke concerning the marriage of the Lamb could not be fulfilled at thattime, although he wrote about it, saying in Ephesians 5:30-32, “For weare members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall aman leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they twoshall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ andthe church,” This showed marriage; but he was only prophesying aboutit, not fulfilling it. And then over in the Book of Revelation, which waswritten about thirty years after Paul’s death, John saw in a vision the wifeof the Lamb, and we were clothed in fine linen, clean and white. Andwe are the only group in creation that is clothed in fine linen, clean andwhite. The rest of those that are born again, we find that they are dressedin white robes. And then in the Book of Revelation, Chapter 3, in John’swriting, he is speaking of the Sardis Church Age, under Luther, and hesays, “clothed in white raiment.” It does not say fine linen. But all thosethat were part of the Word for their time period (and they did not havethe Word that we have), each age was appointed their own particularportion of the Word and they became part of that. And when they comeup as part of the wife, they will be part of the whole, the body of Christ,the wife of the Lamb, walking here in the earth. And the Bible says, thentogether we shall be caught up with them to meet the Lord Jesus.

We talk about ‘Awake thou O’ sleepers.’ There are those who will soonappear among us with glorified Word bodies. They were asleep, whichapplies to the body; but the soul never goes to sleep. It is still alive.

135THE QUICKENING OF THE PROMISE IS THE END OF ALL STRIFE

Paul said, “If our earthly tabernacle were dissolved, we have a house,we have a building of God reserved in heaven.” That house is for thesoul of the person that has gone from this life by the way of death,which takes on the form of the person that they are, but it is spiritual.But when the dead comes forth that are part of the wife, they will nothave a spiritual body in the sense of being just a soul, but they will takeon their Word body which will no longer be a natural body, but a glo-rified Word body; they shall be a glorified person. And we that are liv-ing now shall be glorified also. Yes, we are going to be glorifiedmembers of the wife. And in that body we can eat. We can participatein many of the activities of the earth. How do I know? Jesus did; Heate, and He enjoyed the food. When He appeared to His apostles, theysaid, “This is a spirit (ghost).” Jesus said, “Does a spirit have flesh andbones?” Then He said, “Do you have anything to eat?” And they setout the food and He ate. Now that is a glorified human being; not justa spiritual house, but a soul with a body. See, that is the glorified man.But we are not glorified yet, see. When we are glorified, we can just ap-pear or disappear.

In the Book of John, Chapter 20, when the disciples were gathered to-gether, Jesus appeared unto them, and the Bible specifically mentions,“The doors being shut, He appeared in the midst.” That means He didnot have to come through a door. He was just there. That is an abilitylike angels have today; they can appear without opening a door to comein, although they may appear as a man sometimes, like Gabriel, andcome in through the door if they desire. Daniel gave Gabriel a new titlethat is not talked about very much; instead of saying, “the angelGabriel,” he said, “the man Gabriel.” He is the one that brings messagesto the human beings. He said, “I stand in the presence of God to bringyou a message.” So he can appear or disappear, the door being shut.And he does not have to knock, and ask, “Can I come in?” He is justthere. And he tells you what God wants you to know, and then he isgone.

Well, the Lord is good! Those are not fairytales. They are realitiesthat are happening in our time, our very day, and our very hour—present tense. My wife, Barbarajean highlighted this when she said, “Ihave to be ready to meet the dead that are coming forth.” Yes. We aregoing to meet them. They come up first and then we are changed. Wewill see Paul and Silas and those saints of old. But it is only those thatare part of the wife that appear at the time of the rapture. They shallappear and we shall be changed and go up together to meet our Hus-band and King, the Lord Jesus.

In last week’s message, A Promise Made is a Promise Kept, it went back

136 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

and showed that whatever God said, He keeps His Word; and neverone time did He promise something that was not fulfilled or in theprocess of being fulfilled. But today I want to show that the promisesare just promises until they are quickened. The promise is made and itis just lying there, but it has to be quickened. Everything in God’s Wordhas to be quickened. Every scripture in this Bible has to be quickened.The letter killeth, but the Spirit quickens the Word and makes it alive.The religious universities were at one time profitable for Christians; butnow they have out-lived their usefulness and are just empty shells thatthe antichrist uses to deceive people with and it produces death. Butas God makes His Word come alive to us, it is quickened, then whateverthe Word says, that is the way it will be.

Now today we are going to take a thought, The Quickening of thePromise is the End of all Strife. In other words, there is nothing more tosay about it, because it is the end of all strife. We do not have to say, “Ithink it means this. I think it means that.” No. If He has quickened it,the quickening of the promise ends all strife. And the quickening ismaking it come alive (as we will see in this message). So I want to beginreading today in the Book of Hebrews, Chapter 4, Verses 12 and 13.And then after that, I want to turn to Hebrews 6:16 to get the other partof what I am saying. But let us pray first before reading and we willask God’s blessing on it.

Heavenly Father, we have already talked here today about “It takes the quick-ening; it takes you making the Word live; it takes you to cause that Word toget up and walk and do what you said it would do.” O’ God, I pray that youwill give that anointing, so that I may be quickened to speak words that willbenefit the wife of the Lamb and others that you have ordained to hear. In theprecious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Now watch as we read here. Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God isquick,” Now watch that word quick. “For the Word of God is quick.”And until it is quickened, it is just laying there without the anointingon it, which means it is just knowledge. We have the knowledge that‘by His stripes ye were healed,’ but only when God quickens it will itcome to pass. When His Word is spoken, it will only come alive by Hisquickening power. I have seen it so many times in days gone by as Godwould quicken His Word.

Let us continue reading. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful,” Isthis Bible powerful? It gives us some good, powerful knowledge; butit has to be quickened to make it live, to make it get up and walk. See,Jesus’ body laid there in the tomb for three days and nights, but whenChrist entered back into that body again, it was quickened—He got upand walked.

137THE QUICKENING OF THE PROMISE IS THE END OF ALL STRIFE

So as time comes for God’s Word to be fulfilled, He causes it to liveand bring forth what is written. That is what the quickening of theWord is. When a promise is quickened, it ends all strife, because it doeswhat it says it will do. There is nothing to talk about. He just quickensHis Word. He said He would do it and here it is; and that is all there isto it. I still think about what Job said. He said, “If you cut a tree down,sprouts will spring up around the trunk, and the life of that tree contin-ues through the sprouts. But when a man dies, he is gone, he is finished,there is nothing more to it.” But then here came the Spirit of God, andJob began to speak prophetic words, saying, “Though the skin wormsdevour this flesh, yet in this flesh I shall see God.” This prophecy wasfulfilled when Christ Jesus went down into the heart of the earth andbrought Job up in a glorified body, along with all the Old Testamentsaints, as seen in the Book of Mathew 27:50-54.

The thing is, the promise is brought to pass when it is quickened. AndI am going to refer back to what I said last week here and fit it in onthis. See, God made Abraham and Sarah a promise that they wouldhave a child. Abraham was the father of faith, and he was a friend ofGod. Paul said, “Abraham was strong in faith, giving glory to God, forhe staggered not at the promise of God. And Sarah, being old, yet byfaith she received strength in her old age to bring forth a child.” See,they doubted not, after the promise was quickened. See, the promisewas made to Abraham years before, and he believed God. But Abrahamand Sarah evidently got to the point that they were half-heartedly be-lieving it. The reason I say that is this: Sarah said, “Well, I know whatGod said, but let us help Him a little bit. It looks as though it is notgoing to come to pass, because I am in menopause now and, Abraham,you are so old, as good as dead, and soon you are going to get to thepoint where you could not beget a child anyway. So the only thing Iknow to do is for you to take my handmaiden, Hagar.” (And sometimesdoing the only thing we know to do is the worst thing we could do. Thebest thing to do is put it in God’s hands and leave it there. God said itand He is responsible to bring it to pass, to quicken the promise.) SoSarah gave her handmaiden to Abraham and said, “Go in unto her. Youare old now. You do not have much time and neither do I have muchtime. We are getting ready to go to the grave. We need to get a childhere. You need to have a seed to carry on for you, because God saidthat He would multiply your seed like the stars of heaven. And it is notgoing to be; because I am barren. So take my handmaiden and go inunto her. I hate to make a sacrifice like this, but in order to bring theWord to pass, there is no sacrifice that I will not make.” Can you imag-ine? That was a big sacrifice for Sarah.

138 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

Well, all of that is total nonsense. If God said it, do not worry abouttrying to help God bring it to pass. He will bring it to pass in His time.And what they did between the time the promise was made and thetime the promise was quickened does not really matter. It is kind of in-significant; because the promise was there, God made it. But the prom-ise did not even come alive and get up and start walking, until one daythree men came to Abraham. And the one man said, “Abraham, Godmade a promise to you many years ago; and I know there has beenmany times when you have doubted here and there along the way. Butwhatever you have done and whatever Sarah has done, you did not for-get the promise. And now because you kept that promise in your heart,I have a message from God— “About this time next season, God is goingto appear to you and Sarah, and she is going to conceive.” Watch! Hewas quickening that promise that He had made many years before this.And this quickening stirred up the Word and it began to walk (to befulfilled). God quickened that Word within their souls, revived thatpromise; it gave them stimulation, encouragement, and excitement thatit would really be so. And only now can we say, “They did not doubt.”And then we can say, “Sarah was strong in faith and Abraham staggerednot at the promise of God.” That promise got up walked. That promiseHe had made got up and began to live. Then God began changing theirbodies to the point that He needed to; and they had the child, just likethe Word said!

Here we get a picture of the promise of God that has been activatedfor us (we which are alive and remain) that are still living in our unglo-rified bodies. And although we have already become bone of His boneand flesh of His flesh (which is the promise of God for us, the wife), weare constantly changing from glory to glory by the revelational faiththat has been given to us by the sounding of the last trumpet. This fa-cilitates the growth of our faith exceedingly to the point that is necessaryfor us to convey this prophecy to those that are yet unseen by the natu-ral eye. This prophecy continues until the dead are manifested amongus in full glorification. At that time, we, also, receive full glorification.This means all the wife is here together for the catching away into glory.

See, at first Abraham and Sarah tried to fulfill the promise themselves.And that is what many people are doing today. Many people say,“What we need to do is have a ministers’ meeting and get all the min-isters together and see if we can come to some type of agreement.” Andthey say, “The Bible says that we shall be one, so we need to have thesame mind in order to speak the same thing. So what we need to do isget everyone together, and hear what each one thinks, and then we canwork on having the same mind.” That is denominationalism. That isantichrist. That is the spirit of iniquity. It might have been all right back

139THE QUICKENING OF THE PROMISE IS THE END OF ALL STRIFE

before the coming of Christ; but now God has quickened the Word andthe Word is getting up and walking! The Word says there would be avoice, and all the members hear this voice of Christ and that makes themone. So the trump of God is sounding, and the dead shall appear, thenwe shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. And thatis just the way it is.

So with Abraham and Sarah that is the way it was. But before Godfulfilled His promise, Sarah gave her handmaiden to Abraham—butthat was before the man came. Then after the man came, the Word justgot up and began to live. When Revelation, Chapter 10, was fulfilled,the Word of God began to get up and walk. Remember it was fulfilled,and we ate the little book up, and we came through that time period;but now we have become what we ate, and that was the Word—and notthe dead letter of the Word, but living Word! Now it is all over theworld, the Word of God getting up and walking—it came alive! See,when the promise is confirmed, that is the end all strife, and you do nothave to worry about it anymore. So whatever Abraham and Sarah didto try to bring it to pass, it amounted to one big zero. The only thingthey could do was to give a testimony of what was going to be. Butwhen they began to try to bring it to pass in their own way, that is wherethey had trouble. But when it came God’s time to fulfill His promise,He sent His quickening power and the promised son was born, Isaacwas born, showing our Isaac, which is Christ. (Galatians 3:16)

So what we are seeing in this hour is the Lord’s work. God gave theWord; and He, and He alone, is responsible for fulfilling it. I am not re-sponsible for fulfilling it. I did not say it. He said it. He wrote it. AndHe is the one that quickens it. And He, and He alone, can fulfill it. AndHe has already fulfilled much of it. It is not something that we decided;but it is what God has determined. That is seen in the fact that the LordJesus married His wife by proxy. And in order to do this, He sent downthe very Christ and gave us everything that the little book contained forus, which were spiritual blessings. Now we have everything that weneed to become all that He ordained us to be, as we were baptized intothe fullness of both legs of His spiritual coming. And He said, “You arebone of my bone and flesh of my flesh—the wife of the Lamb. Go forthand prophesy. Preach the Word.” We have reached the stature of thefullness of Christ, no longer tossed to and fro and carried about by everywind of doctrine. This is the wonderful counsel and the excellent work-ing of the Lord and it is marvelous.

Let us read Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful,and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunderof soul and spirit (that is the inner man), and the joints and marrow (that

gets in the outer realm, bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh), and isa discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart,” We saw this scripturein the Book of Luke 17:30 quickened when God sent the prophet,William Branham, to us. God quickened it as He revealed the Son ofman again (for God said He would reveal the Son of man again in thislast day). Just like Jesus did as a prophet, so did Brother Branham tellpeople, “You live in this certain city, and you are this, and you are that;”just like the Son of man did in discerning the thoughts of the heart. Butnow it has gotten into the joints and marrow in this hour, for we are Hisflesh and bones; and this quickening Word is still doing its work. Verse13, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all thingsare naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” In otherwords, we do not have a whole lot to say, because He already knowsall about it. But when God quickens the Word, that is what makes thedifference.

In the Book of 1 Samuel, Chapter 17, it shows a little shepherd boynamed David, who had never fought a battle in the military in his life;for he watched over his father’s sheep and he practiced much with hissling-shot. I have seen those things, how they can swing them aroundand hit their target with ease. We see an example of this in the Book ofJudges 20:16, where it shows that there were seven hundred chosen menwho were left-handed and every one of them could sling stones at a tar-get within a hair-breath and not miss. Well, here in 1 Samuel, Chapter17, the Philistines had gathered together their armies for battle againstSaul and the men of Israel. And the Philistines had a companion amongthem, a man named Goliath, who was a giant in stature, that none ofthe men of Israel could defeat. And here little David walked out there;he was just a small fellow, ruddy in complexion. He probably did noteven have a beard yet. David said, “What in the world is wrong withyou soldiers? That man out there, that uncircumcised Philistine, is curs-ing the God of Israel; he is cursing the armies of God, and no one willlift a hand to stop him! I will go do it!” But his brothers rebuked him,“You go back to the house to our father; you do not know anythingabout battling!” And David said, “God will deliver him into my hands!Take me to Saul!” So one of the generals heard him, and said, “To pleasethe boy, let us take him to Saul.” (See, one time Saul was in tune withGod real good. But he won a few battles and it went to his head, whichcaused him to lose out with God.) God had said He was going to de-liver Israel, but everyone was afraid to go. The king would not go. Theking would not dare get his army out there to get them killed. Theysaid, “No man can fight that giant!” But here little David comes up andsays, “I will go kill him.” Saul said, “Look. That man has been a warrior

141THE QUICKENING OF THE PROMISE IS THE END OF ALL STRIFE

from his youth up; how are you going to go out there and fight him?”David said, “One time I was tending my father’s sheep, and a bear cameand got one of them. I ran that bear down and caught him by the jawand ripped that bear apart! God delivered that bear into my hands.Then another time, a lion came and I rose up and killed that lion. Thesame God that delivered the bear and the lion into my hands, will de-liver this uncircumcised Philistine into my hands!” Well, the Spirit musthave moved in and anointed David’s testimony; and Saul must have feltthat anointing. For he said to David, “Okay, David, in that case I willlet you go. (See, Saul knew something about the power of God.) Butput my armor on! (“You come join our denomination.”) I will fix youup where you will not get hurt too bad.” David put it on to appeasehim; but he said, “I cannot move like this! (“I cannot go to a seminaryand learn how to preach.”) See, that has no anointing to it. When Godsays something, He will do it. He will take care of it and you do nothave to do so much. When God wants to do something, He does it.

So the thing is, David said, “All I need is my God and my sling.” Hetook his shepherd’s scrip bag that he carried his tools in (and his toolswere a slingshot and some stones), and he got five smooth stones froma brook (and just one of those stones would get the job done, but theothers were there to back up that one stone). And you talk about gettingcursed by Goliath; he did. That giant said to David, “I told them to senda man, and here they are trying to embarrass me by sending a child outhere!” David said, “Goliath, today I am going to cut your head off! Iam going to feed your body to the fowls of the air!” That giant got somad that he said, “I will definitely kill you now!” So David kept walk-ing, winding up that sling, whipping it around; it was whistling everyround. And the giant got so upset that he dropped his shield a bit. AndDavid was waiting for that to happen, thinking, “Just a little opening isall I need.” He was prepared, and here was an opportunity to showforth the glory and power of God. See, God just needs a little opening.So when Goliath dropped his shield a bit, David let that stone go thathe already had wound up. (And I will tell you, this message is alreadywound up!) He let that stone go, and it sunk right into the skull of thatgiant and he fell over dead. Then all the others began to rally aroundthis victory and they ran off all the enemies.

Who did it? Was David able to do it? No. He said, “My God will de-liver. I cannot do anything; but my God can.” That is what we have gotto say—“This is the work of God! He will bring it to pass!” We do notsay, “How are we going to get this work done? How are we going todo this? Shall we get the preachers together and get some church tohelp us get this Word out? Maybe if we get enough people together,

142 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

then we can have a meeting.” Well, you might get enough people to-gether; but is God in it? You and the Lord are a majority!

Now there is one more scripture I want to get. Hebrews 6:16, “Formen verily swear by the greater (they have to swear to something greaterthan they are): and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.”Once the promise is quickened, there is no more strife. Ephesians 4:13-16 is the end of all strife. It was not this way until we reached the statureof the fullness of Christ. The Word promises us that when this tookplace, we would no longer (Now watch. No longer—it is the end of allstrife.), no longer be tossed to and fro. We do not say, “How do you be-lieve? Do you believe it this way? Well, I believe it a little differentlythan you do, Preacher; but we are one anyway.” No, we are not one;because the oath for confirmation is the end of all strife. God has quick-ened the Word. So we are no longer tossed and carried about with dif-ferent doctrines. There are no two people that are part of the wife ofthe Lamb that believe differently, because everyone will see it, andeveryone will believe it, knowing by revelation that it is the end of allstrife.

See, the title of the message, The Quickening of the Promise is the End ofAll Strife. In other words, God said the trumpet would sound, and thatis the end of all strife. God said there would be a people that say, “Odeath, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?” There isnothing else to say about it, because here is this trumpet of God sound-ing; so the dead in Christ shall appear among us (as He has broughtthose spirits of just men with Him that are taking on this Word body offlesh and bones) and we shall be changed. How did it happen? It isthe work of the quickening power of God. God did it.

Remember, when a promise is quickened, it is the end of all strife.When God speaks, that is the end of all strife. It is the oath for confir-mation. When we reached the stature of the fullness of Christ, thatmeant that we already passed that till of Ephesians 4:13. So the promiseis being quickened as the trump of God is sounding, and the dead willsoon appear!

Heavenly Father, we thank you and praise you for your love, goodness, andmercy. We thank you for your Word, and we thank you for the quickeningpower that you have put upon your Word and made it live. In the preciousname of our Lord Jesus Christ, we ask that you take these words and use themfor your glory, we pray. Amen.

143THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME

THE WIFE OF THE LAMB IS SPEAKINGNO OTHER WORDS THAN WHAT GOD PROMISED

WOULD BE HERE

Today our message is titled, The Wife of the Lamb is speaking No OtherWords than What God Promised Would Be Here. And for a starting place,I want to read in the Book of Acts, Chapter 26. Earlier, when I read thischapter, I said to myself, “I want to tell the people this is one chapterthat is well worth your time.” It is about Paul giving his testimony toKing Agrippa and explaining the Word unto him. The king alreadyknew the Jews were the most religious people of that time; for they werethe people that Jesus Christ came to, and they were the ones that hadHim crucified by the Romans. And now they were going about to cru-cify all those that believed and followed Jesus. So as Paul testified be-fore the king, he included the fact that at first, he was one of those thatwas doing the persecuting, and that all the while, there laid in his heartsomething that troubled him about what he was doing. The reason forthis was that Paul was predestinated and ordained of God before thefoundation of the world to show forth Jesus Christ to the Jews and tothe Gentiles. He said in Galatians, Chapter One, that even when he wasin his mother’s womb he was predestinated to this calling; and, oh, whathe went through coming up to this point as he stood before KingAgrippa. Yet, he did not let any of his hardships affect him in a waythat made him hard-hearted; for once he met Christ, and God broughthim into the kingdom and quickened that seed that was in him, Paulnever was the same. Even so, we are predestinated of God and or-dained to be the wife of the Lamb, and He brings us through all the tri-als that may come our way.

In the Book of 2 Corinthians, Chapter 11, Paul tells of the many thingsthat he went through for the sake of the gospel that God called him topreach. Many times he was in weariness and pain, as well as in hungerand thirst, and in fasting’s often. He was imprisoned, and faced deathmany times, as he was beaten with rods, stoned, and suffered ship-wrecks; and he was often among false brethren, which hurt him themost. Many of those who were around him had the spirit of iniquityworking in them; and he spoke of it and exposed it before he went offthe scene. In Paul’s service for Christ, he had everything thrown at him;but he kept on going. He had a calling in him. He was on fire, andnothing could stop him. When God puts something in you, nothing willstop you. If you are ordained to do something, your trials, your mis-

steps, and whatever it is, it is not going to stop you; just as one said inthe Bible, “Though I fall seven times, yet will I get up.” It is the promisethat God is looking at, not our failures. I preached a message recentlyentitled, God Does Not Look at Our Failures, He Looks at His Promises. Itdoes not mean that we can get careless and do things that ought not tobe done. But the point being is, God’s Word and God’s promises over-ride everything.

So here in Acts, Chapter 26, after Paul had been arrested because ofthe Jews accusing him of many things, he was put on a ship bound forRome to be tried by Caesar. And while on his way there, he came intoCaesarea, where he was held and brought before King Agrippa, a manwho knew the ways of the Jews and wanted to hear Paul. So I want tobegin reading in Verse 21. Paul says to the king, “For these causes theJews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.” Now watch; themost religious people, the most holy people, went about to kill Paul. Itis not much different now, although they cannot do it physically in thiscountry, yet. But they will try to kill our influence by talking negativeagainst us. There are principalities and powers in the air working totry to pull people away from this truth. And even the spirit of iniquityis at work to present this message in a slightly different way. But nowthat the marriage has taken place, the wife of the Lamb cannot be movednor deceived, because we are hearing the voice of our Husband, theLord Jesus Christ, by revelation. Verse 22, “Having therefore obtained helpof God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great (here ismy text scripture) saying none other things than those which theprophets and Moses did say should come:” In other words, he is saying,“I am not saying something off the Word; although what I am sayingmay sound strange to you. It may sound like I am preaching somethingthat is not the Word, but I am saying no other thing but the Word. I amjust trying to tell you that this is what God promised would be here.”

That was in Paul’s day; and now we are facing about the same thingtoday. The wife of the Lamb is speaking no other words than that whichwas promised to us. Therefore, when we speak about what is for thislast day, realizing that this is after the church ages, which is also afterRevelation, Chapter 10, and the Mighty angel is no longer seen as such,we now recognize it is in fact the Spirit of Christ. From this fact comesthe revelation that we have been baptized into the fullness of Christ,thus becoming His flesh and bones. Now we can say assuredly that weare the Christ wife of our Lord Jesus. And those that do not have thisrevelation of marriage, it helps us to understand why they say we arewrong.

In the Book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter One, Paul spoke of water bap-

145THE WIFE OF THE LAMB IS SPEAKING NO OTHER WORDS THAN WHAT GOD PROMISED WOULD BE HERE

tism, saying, “Christ sent me not to baptize; but to preach the gospel.”What a strong statement! Then in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 12, he spokeabout being baptized by one Spirit into the body of Christ, which wasunder the first leg of His spiritual coming as the Holy Ghost. And underthat first leg, he did not say that they would overcome physical death;and that signifies that this part of redemption was not available underthe first leg of His coming. It is only at the fullness of the second partof this coming that His flesh and bones were brought into the picture,which is our marriage; because they (those of the first part) were onlyvirgins espoused to Christ. That was the best they could hope for underthe first leg of the spiritual coming of Christ, although they did havethe spiritual gifts, which are shown in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 12. So asChrist came back to earth in His fullness, these gifts were already in thebody. So when we were ‘baptized into the fullness,’ the gifts were readyto work in perfection, because we are now bone of His bone and fleshof His flesh, and have the mind of Christ. And now in this fullness, notjust our soul is saved, but also our body is saved. And, yes, within thefullness of the body of Christ are all the gifts, and the power has cometo cause these gifts to work perfectly. Now this is the second benefitthat has been granted to us, His wife.

So the fallen virgin came through the seven church ages; and as theycame through, they had a survival message. But Paul said there wouldcome a time that being baptized for the dead would be over with. See,there were some questioning whether there was a resurrection for thedead, which we can read in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15; and in Verse 29,Paul says, “If the dead rise not, why are you baptized for the dead?”With that natural water baptism, you go down into the water and comeback up—death, burial, and resurrection. In other words, “Why areyou doing that if the dead does not rise?” That was something they didto type out death, burial, and resurrection as a natural ritual to base theirfaith on that they would be resurrected. But there is a people in thisend time that there is no resurrection promised to. We do not base ourfaith on death, burial, and resurrection, because for us, the former thingshave been done away with; for we are not promised a resurrection.Therefore, we are saying no other things than the scripture says wouldbe here. 1Thessalonians, Chapter 4, says that when Christ comes down,the dead in Christ are going to appear, and we which are alive and re-main shall be changed. Now watch. Our promise is not the promise ofresurrection, but we have the promise of physical translation.

Well, that is where we are; we are alive and we are remaining, so weshall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. So our prom-ise is a change of the body without ever dying. That is why we do not

146 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

stress being baptized in water as a type for death, burial, and resurrec-tion, which is what Paul said was ‘being baptized for the dead.’ If wehave been baptized for the dead (unto resurrection), there is a baptismto undo it. Awhile back, I preached the message, Undoing your Baptismunto Death, which is a chapter in our book entitled, Crowned with thePerfect Man’s Revelation, showing that God undoes that baptism for thedead (unto death). How? With a greater baptism. A baptism into life,which is into the fullness of Christ, as the second leg of His spiritualcoming has taken place.

So we are only preaching today what the scripture said we wouldpreach—‘the trump of God shall sound and the dead in Christ shall rise,and then we shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.’And then we are going to say, (And we are already saying it, becausethe trumpet is already sounding and these things have already beganto come into being as this scripture has been activated and unbound.),“O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?” Andthen it says, “This corruptible (this, meaning this body that we are livingin) must put on incorruption.” You might say, “That sounds strange. Iam not sure about that. I am not sure I can believe that.” Why not? Weare only preaching what the scripture says would be here.

So the power of the Word—if it raised one, it can raise a million. Wesee when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He called him by name,because that call to come forth was exclusively to him, and no one else.God makes no mistakes. He has recorded all the names of those thathave life; and that is how He could take our part of the Word out of theBook of Redemption (which was the little book of Revelation, Chapter10), and bring it to us— which we took and ate up. And after we ate itup, we became the little book in another form, which is being bone ofHis bone and flesh of His flesh (Ephesians 5:30-32), and gave us an over-coming physical death message that is exclusively for the Lamb’s wife.And now we are in the heavenly Jerusalem where the angels are at, thesouls of just men are being made perfect, and they are hearing a mes-sage beckoning them, “Come forth, O’ ye sleepers and take on yourWord bodies, so that we can have fellowship with one another.” Andthat call is from Christ, walking the earth again unbound; for as we goforth, it is not just the wife, but it is Christ the wife. And what is Christthe wife expressing? We are expressing our Husband, the perfect man,the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 4:13-16 and Ephesians 5:30-32) Andwe are living in the midst of a promise. We are preaching and talkingonly about the things that are promised to us. We are not saying some-thing that is not promised.

So here in Acts, Chapter 26, Paul is testifying to only the things that

147THE WIFE OF THE LAMB IS SPEAKING NO OTHER WORDS THAN WHAT GOD PROMISED WOULD BE HERE

God promised. See, God had changed the old order and brought a neworder in. Therefore, Paul was telling his story to the king. Here, I wantto go back and read Verses 9-13, “I verily thought with myself, that I oughtto do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Which thing Ialso did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, havingreceived authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, Igave my voice against them. And I punished them oft in every synagogue, andcompelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I per-secuted them even unto strange cities. Whereupon as I went to Damascus withauthority and commission from the chief priests.” Before his conversion, Paulwas given authority from the chief priests. What was he given authorityto do? His commission and authority was to get rid of those that werespeaking in the name of Jesus, those that believed Jesus was the Mes-siah. That was his charge; and he was exceedingly angry and breathingout threatenings. He was hauling the saints to prison and even to death.But watch what he tells the king in Verse 13. He says, “At midday, Oking, I saw in the way a light.” This was a light that was brighter than thenoonday sun.

This makes me think of when Jesus went forth to preach, the Word ofGod says the people that sat in darkness saw a great light. But did itchange them? Very few of them. But there was Nicodemus and Joseph,who were secret disciples of Jesus. I preached a message not too longago entitled, The Message That Causes a Dilemma to All Whom It Is Not Re-vealed, which highlights so wonderfully these secret disciples. We seethat Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, in fear ofthe Jews, went by night to talk with Jesus. And Joseph of Arimathea, arich man and a disciple of Jesus, whom also was a respected memberof the council, upon hearing the death of Jesus, went to Pilate andbegged his body. Then Joseph and Nicodemus secretly took Jesus bynight and buried Him. See, there were some secret disciples. You can-not be a secret disciple in this hour. You have got to stand on your owntwo feet and declare, “We are only preaching and believing the thingsthat are promised in the scripture.” And anytime someone is not preach-ing what is promised in the scripture, it is not accepted by God. Buteven in preaching the things which are the promises of God, keep inmind that this message must be revealed and quickened by the HolyGhost.

Let us read Verse 13 again, “At midday, O king, I saw in the way a lightfrom heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and themwhich journeyed with me.” Verse 14, “And when we were all fallen to theearth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul,Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.”

148 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

And when those words were said, Paul got over his anger right then.And instead of being angry, he had fear and was trembling. Verse 15,“And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou perse-cutest.” Paul was persecuting the very one that had become the Christ.He was trying to put an end to this ‘Jesus movement,’ because manybelieved that He was the Messiah, and many were believing that Hedied and resurrected as the Savior. The high priest said, “All of this hasgot to stop! Paul, you are the man to get the job done. Take some menwith you and go clean all this mess up!” But God had other plans forPaul; for here came Christ manifesting Himself, saying in Verses 16-18,“But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this pur-pose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thouhast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Deliveringthee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, Toopen their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the powerof Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritanceamong them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”

I love Paul’s testimony, because it shows that regardless of what we tryto do, what we want to do, or how we think it ought to be done, it isgoing to be like God said it was going to be. The things which the scrip-ture says, are going to be. The trumpet is sounding! The dead are goingto appear. We are going to be changed in a moment, in the twinkling ofan eye. And we are now saying, “O death, where is your sting? O grave,where is your victory?” Because the life of the promise has come!

We know according to the scriptures that what happened in the Gar-den of Eden brought death into the human race. Satan beguiled Evethrough the serpent. She was deceived as she ate of the tree of theknowledge of good and evil. Then she went to Adam and he ate of thesame, without it being connected to the tree of life; and death came intothe picture. In the Book of Hebrews, Chapter 2, it reads that Jesus Christdestroyed ‘him that had power of death; and that is the devil.’ Verses14-15 says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might de-stroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them whothrough fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” In otherwords, Jesus Christ undone what the devil did; for before sin enteredinto the picture, no one would have ever died. And we can look backand see that the devil was the author of sin and death; but Jesus Christhas destroyed him. So this means to the living part of the wife at thesounding of this last trumpet that is blasting forth in this hour, we donot have to go through physical death, because a promise made is apromise kept.

149THE WIFE OF THE LAMB IS SPEAKING NO OTHER WORDS THAN WHAT GOD PROMISED WOULD BE HERE

Do you see? In this trumpet message, which has produced this finelinen, clean and white, we are preaching only the things that the scrip-ture allows, what the scripture said would be here. So now, we are say-ing no other thing than what God promised to us. The dead shallappear, and we shall be caught up to meet our Lord Jesus, riding in Hissecond chariot, crowned with a crown of glory. We are no longer car-rying a cross, but we are wearing a crown of glory, as we are glorifyingthe Lord Jesus Christ, our King, our Husband, and our Savior!

The wife of the Lamb is speaking no other words than what the scrip-ture says (what God promised) would be here; and we are proclaimingthis last trump of God message, which causes the departed saints to ap-pear. So if we are doing what the scripture says, why persecute us? See,that is what Paul was doing—what the scripture said; and they wantedto kill him for it. He said, “O’ King Agrippa, I am only doing what theprophets said would be here. And because I am doing what theprophets said would be here, they want to kill me.” And because weare saying what Paul said would be here, ‘the dead in Christ are goingto rise and we are going to be changed in a moment, in the twinkling ofan eye,’ because we are preaching that, they want to persecute us. Butwe have brought to life Paul’s prophecy of overcoming physical deathin this hour; and we are undoing the baptism for the dead for those thatcan hear with a revelational ear the sounding of this trumpet message,which is fulfilling what Paul said we would do.

Heavenly Father, we come to you thanking you, praising you, and honoringyou, Lord, and just saying, “Lord, we appreciate this.” Thank you for helpingus to bring forth what Paul said would be here in this hour, and to accomplishwhat he said would be. Have your way in our lives, we pray, in the wonderful,wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

151THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME

THINGS THAT BELONG EXCLUSIVELYTO THE WIFE OF THE LAMB

I want to greet each one of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christour King, our Savior, and our Husband, as He hath made us His wife.I appreciate you and thank God that there is a people today that areobeying God and believing His Word, even in the world where unbeliefis prevalent. Jesus Christ is the Word; for in the beginning was theWord, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And theWord became flesh and dwelled among men. And we are made part ofthat same Word through Christ Jesus. And we are so thankful for that.

Today we are going to read a scripture that we have read quite often,a scripture you should know by heart, which is in Revelation, Chapter19. We want to read Verses 7 and 8, and I want to speak on this thought,Things that Belong Exclusively to the Wife of the Lamb. And that word ex-clusively means only. So we could say, “Things that belong only to thewife of the Lamb.” But I like that word exclusively because it is an ex-clusive thing to be the wife of the Lamb.

Recently, I preached a message that got quite a bit of attention. It wasthe message entitled, Are We the Wife of the Lamb or Just Partakers ofChrist? which is a chapter in our book, The Gospel According to the Wifeof the Lamb. We find there are many people that are only partakers ofChrist, as Christ Jesus deals with other people on different levels. Andwe do not know who they all are, and I am glad we don’t. But we finda great number of people, born again saints, that we see in Revelation,Chapter 7, where an angel asked John, “Who are these?” And Johnknew the Jews; he knew his people. But there were people of all races,kindred, and tongues; and John simply said, “Thou knowest.” I lovehis answer. That was an answer of wisdom. And the angel said, “Theseare they that came out of great tribulation and have washed their robesand made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” So there is a group, alarge group, and we thank God for them. And we praise God that Hehas people in different walks of life, and from different ages. There arethe Jewish people; and there is an element of the Jews that are going tohear, and are hearing, this trumpet message that we preach about thewife of the Lamb. When we accept this message by revelation, we be-come part of this group of people that are neither Jew nor Gentile, whichin this last day has brought us into this Word where we are bone of Hisbone and flesh of His flesh. Now I am talking about things exclusivelyfor the wife. That does not apply to everyone. So what I am saying isthat everyone that is saved is not part of the wife of the Lamb.

152 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

Sometime back, a brother said to me, “If God made a difference be-tween the wife and others, He would be showing partiality.” I said,“That is exactly right. And yet, God has no respect of persons.” Hedoes not show respect of persons to those in a particular group of Hissaints; but God did give His Son a wife (as He did concerning Adam,His first earthly son), and He gave us certain things that are exclusivelyfor us, the wife of the Lamb, and those things belong to no one else, andit is not belittling any other part of God’s family; because He gave eachgroup their proper position in His family. So I want to deal with thattoday. Now let us pray before the reading of the scripture.

Heavenly Father, we thank you, Lord, for another privilege to come to youand stand before you, to honor your Word and praise you for your Word. And,Lord, we glorify you by talking about your Word. We thank you, Lord, thatwhen we talk about your Word, we are talking about something that makessense, for we are talking about something that bears witness in our hearts.Lord, you have given us wisdom, and knowledge, and have called us with aholy calling to stand up for your Word. And, indeed, we count this a greatprivilege. We thank you for it, Lord. And I pray that you will bless us all withthis anointing. Bless all the readers of the message that we all may obtain thatwhich you have ordained for us in this end time. We ask this in the preciousname of thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

When the title of this message came to mind, I thought about severalplaces we could read to start as it relates to things that are exclusivelyfor the wife and not for anyone else. And the scriptures in Revelation19:7-8 stood out more than the others that I was thinking of. It has notbeen long since I read those scriptures, and we talk much about them,because it is living Word now manifested in the earth. So I feel that thisis the place to begin our message today. It says, “Let us be glad and rejoice,and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife…”Notice the word wife; not His people, not His servants, but His wife—and not the foolish virgins, and not even the engaged virgin, becauseat this stage we have become the very wife of the Lamb. And this is,we could say, an exclusive club; if you want to use that terminology. Itis something that is exclusively for the wife of the Lamb. He said, “Beglad and rejoice!” That is one of the things we do because we knowHim and we love Him. And it says, “and his wife hath made herself ready.”We are not necessarily going to make ourselves ready; the wife has al-ready made herself ready. And we know a promise made is a promisekept.

Watch the next verse. It is so great. Verse 8, “And to her was granted...”Notice that, ‘and to her was granted.’ This is exclusively to her. Some-thing was granted to her that was not granted to anyone else. And I am

153THINGS THAT BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO THE WIFE OF THE LAMB

going to stop on that in order to say this: Salvation was granted to allwhose names are in the Book of Redemption. But this special group isthe wife, and there is something that is granted to us that is not grantedto our brothers and sisters in another realm. Everyone in the family ofGod is saved (or born again), and everyone whose name is written inthe Book of Redemption will come forth, back to this earthly realm intheir particular order of saints. So we are looking at something herethat is different from just being born again. We are looking at the wifeof the Lamb that was made ready by this message of fine linen, whodoes not see physical death, but is changed in a moment, in the twin-kling of an eye, as those that are part of this exclusive group appearamong us from the grave, being clothed the same as we are.

In the past, our message was, “Be a virgin. Stay a virgin.” And wecan hear that on some of those older audio messages where I preached,“You stay a virgin to the Lord.” But now the virgin has become thewife. So our message is not, “You stay a virgin.” It is, “We are the wife.”And this is an exclusive group that no one else can come into, becausethe only way to get into this is to be baptized into the fullness of thismessage of the wife of the Lamb. And then I want you to notice howthe wife is dressed; in fine linen, clean and white; and it is exclusivelyher garment.

I remember a few years back, over in Malawi (Africa), when I waspreaching I brought in about the different garments, showing how some(one group) are dressed in fine linen, clean and white; but there wereothers (other groups) dressed in white robes. And some had to washtheir robes and make them white in the blood of the Lamb. There werethose in Revelation, Chapter 7, which came out of great tribulation. Andthen, in Revelation, Chapter 6, at the opening of the fifth seal, it showsthat the souls (Jews) under the altar who were killed during that timeof Hitler and Eichmann for the Word of God and the testimony theyheld, were given white robes. And then there was a great crowd aroundthe throne, dressed in white robes. Well, all of those are God’s people.And the white robes represent righteousness; but that righteousness isa righteousness that was earned from works as they served the Lord intheir part of God’s plan. But we, the wife, have the very righteousnessof the Lord; because we were baptized into Him, and we have becomethe Christ part of Jesus.

The Lord Jesus sent His Christ Spirit down again, just like He didstarting out with Paul on the way to Damascus, when he was struckdown by a bright light shown in Acts, Chapter 9. And we find that Paulcame forth and began to preach something that the Jews could not ac-cept, even those that accepted Jesus as being the Messiah, their coming

King. For Paul began to say, “I am the apostle to the Gentiles.” Well,Jesus had told them, “Do not go to the Gentiles. Do not go to the Samar-itans. But go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” So when Paulbegan preaching the new covenant, the Jews began to say, “Whatstrange doctrine is he teaching?” He was teaching that under the newcovenant, someone would not need to be circumcised and keep the lawof the old covenant. And there were many other things he taught thatwas contrary to their thinking, because he was not preaching the ritualsof the old covenant, but instead was showing the better way of the newcovenant. The Word says in the Book of Hebrews, “He taketh away theold that He may establish the new.” And when Jesus came forth fromHis resurrection, there was a new covenant, because He died on thecross and paid the price, and went down and brought those saints upthat died throughout time under the old covenant. And Matthew,Chapter 27, says they were seen alive walking around in Jerusalem.They were seen of many. So something took place there. And it was adifferent covenant. Not that Jesus Christ destroyed the law; He fulfilledthe law, the part that had to do with salvation for the believers.

So as we read about the wife, we understand that Paul started thisproject when he went forth preaching; for he began to use words likeshe, her, virgin, wife—and talk like this was bringing in something dif-ferent than all the other writers wrote about. And the Jews, for the mostpart, just could not put this together; and it was not wrong that theycould not put it together. They were not supposed to, except those thatwere part of this exclusive group. We see this in Galatians, Chapter 2,Verses 6-9; for it was here that Peter, James, and John recognized thisdifference. And when Paul preached to them, at first the Jews did notwant to hear him; for he had brought with him not only Barnabas, butTitus, also. And Titus, being a Greek, was uncircumcised. And to theJews, it was not acceptable for someone to be in the kingdom of Godand not be circumcised. But when Paul was preaching, he told themthat circumcision or uncircumcision means nothing, but it is becominga new creature in Christ Jesus that means something. So when he gotthrough preaching, they told Paul, “You and Barnabas go preach to theheathens (Gentiles), and we will go to the Jews.” That was dividing thepeople right there, showing the different parts of God’s family. But thething is, the apostles to the Jews did not know, and I am not sure Paulknew at the time, all the details concerning his preaching to the Gentiles.But there were many of the Jews that believed what Paul was preaching,saying, “Oh, we love what Paul preaches. He is preaching that we caneat whatever is set before us. We do not have to go through the law andstudy out which beast is clean or unclean to eat.” Paul said, “Eat and

155THINGS THAT BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO THE WIFE OF THE LAMB

drink what is set before you, asking no questions. And you do not haveto circumcise your children to be right with the Lord.” Many of theJews accepted what Paul preached. And we find Paul preaching aboutit in Ephesians, Chapter 2; for he spoke about this new group of people,who were neither Jew nor Gentile. They were that new man, that newthing that God was doing. And that was the beginning of it. But hereat the end time, it has developed into the place that it is now the wife ofthe Lamb and we have become bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh.

Now those are the things that I want us to understand so that we willhave the right mentality concerning other people in God’s plan. Wenever want to get to the place where we say, “Well, they do not believewhat we do, so they cannot be right.” They may be right in their ownrights, because of their position in God’s overall plan. But we werecalled to the high calling, which is the wife of the Lamb. This last trumpmessage of fine linen is even putting flesh and bones on those souls(spirits, theophanies) that came back to this earth with Christ, becausethe only thing that lives forever is the Word. That is why we have to bethat Word made flesh. And that is exclusively for us, the wife.

So as we preach this Word, it is just like in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter37, where in a vision given by God, Ezekiel prophesied to a valley ofdry bones. The Word says there was a noise, and they began to cometogether, bone upon bone, every bone to its right place. There was agreat noise; and there is a great noise today. The trumpet is soundingand has awakened those that went to the grave. It has woke up thedead, and they shall come forth into a visible form.

I want you to notice, when Jesus resurrected (and the Word says thatwe will have a body like unto His own glorious body), He was not al-ways visible. When He traveled from place to place, how He got there,the Bible does not say. But I know that when Jesus talked to the twodisciples on the way to Emmaus, they did not know that this was JesusChrist risen from the dead. Then after He went into the house withthem, He revealed Himself to them; and then He was gone! Jesus wassitting there at the table talking; He asked God’s blessing on the food,and suddenly He was gone! But while they were walking, before theygot to the house, the resurrected Jesus Christ said, “Thou fools, why canyou not believe all that the prophets have said?” Then He explainedthe scripture of how that the Son of man must suffer and die and be res-urrected from the dead. But they did not understand until they werein the house and He began to break the bread; then their eyes wereopened. That is when they got inspired! They got so excited and solifted up that they ran all the way back to Jerusalem (even after a longday’s journey of walking) and they located the other apostles and began

156 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

to tell them about it, saying, “He has risen! He has risen! Of a truth,He has risen from the dead! We have talked to Him!” Well, the apostleshad all been in doubt; but then suddenly, there Jesus sat among them.And they said, “It is a spirit!” And He said, “Does a spirit have fleshand bones?” Then He said to them, “Do you have anything to eat?”And He sat there and ate with them and talked with them. And whenHe got through fellowshipping with them, they looked around, and Hewas gone. One of the things the scripture makes sure that we notice is,“He appeared in the midst, the doors being shut.” He did not have tocome through a door. He was just there. And when He left, He left thesame way.

Now we see what a glorified body is like; and we shall have a bodylikened unto our Lord’s body. (1 John 3:1-2) This shows a resurrectedbody; and ours will be the same, as 1 Corinthians 15:53 says, “For thiscorruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on im-mortality.” And that is glorification! So I say, “As we preach this Word,we are building the bodies of those that went to the graves who are partof the wife.” As Paul said, “This body will take on immortality, thoughthey have decayed away in the dust of the earth.” And then we that areliving will do the same. He said, “This mortal must take on immortal-ity.” So this Word body is being built and will be similar to what we arenow, but without any infirmities. And that is exclusive for those thatare part of the wife. So that includes the bodies that come forth to be-come one with their spirits which Christ brought with Him. This is inthe Book of 1 Thessalonians, Chapter 4. And these spirits (souls) aremade perfect by receiving their bodies, as they were spiritually resur-rected into this last trumpet message, where they are taking on fleshand bones to appear in a visible form.

So it is a fact, the dead are getting their glorified bodies first. The trum-pet is sounding! (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) And the dead in Christ shallget up, they become visible. Then we shall be changed in a moment, inthe twinkling of an eye, and we shall be caught up to meet our Hus-band. So as this mortal must put on immortality, it is the same withthose that went down in death as mortals, they come up immortal withthat Word body, just before we get ours. Because we are all part of thatWord; and were part of that special part of the Word from the begin-ning.

Now that is exclusively for those that are the wife. (Notice here thatthe other saints that are part of God’s family resurrect at our comingback to this earth, as shown in Revelation, Chapter 20.) So as this res-urrection takes place in this message of the sounding of the trumpet, itbrings forth only, exclusively, those that are part of the wife of the Lamb.

157THINGS THAT BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO THE WIFE OF THE LAMB

That is the resurrection for the wife. And this message is exclusivelyfor us, the wife, by the designing of God in His wisdom. By His wis-dom, He ordained a people to be the wife of His Son, and created usout of the same Word that His Son was created from. That is this Word.That is that rib! We see from reading the Word, how God created Evefrom Adam; God took a rib from Adam and created Eve. And now Godhas taken a rib from Christ Jesus to create a wife for His Son, which wasa message starting in the days of Paul at the time of the espousal, fin-ishing with marriage in our day of this last trumpet. This all startedwhen Paul was struck down by a great light; and that began his messageof espousal for his day. And now in this day, here came this messagewhere God has taken the Word and created His Son a wife. And herewe are! Glory to God, the trumpet is sounding, the dead are rising, andthose that are the wife are being changed, exclusively.

Let us read Revelation, Chapter 19, Verse 7, again. It says, “Let us beglad and rejoice and give honour to him, for the marriage of the Lamb is come,and his wife hath made herself ready.” See, she has made herself ready.And the marriage of the Lamb is come. Verse 8 says, “And to her wasgranted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the finelinen is the righteousness of saints.” Now I want you to notice—exclusively;things that belong exclusively, or only, to the wife of the Lord JesusChrist, the Lamb of God. Now this is exclusively for us. Notice, to her.Now this is talking about the wife—to her is granted, that she should bearrayed in fine linen.

In the days of old, linen was the best, most expensive, and preciouscloth you could get; and it may be even today. But we see today in ourstores that they loosely call things such as towels, sheets, and such itemslinen. Some may be made out of a lower quality of linen, but not thelinen the Bible refers to when it talks about the wife being clothed infine linen. To call these items linen, is in fact a misnomer, if you arecomparing it to what real linen is. So to say we are clothed in fine linen,clean and white, is to show that we are clothed in the most preciousclothing there is, which is His righteousness, and it has never beenstained.

Now I want you to notice the difference in the garments of what we,the wife of the Lamb, and the other saints of God are clothed in. All,except the wife, are clothed in such material as white robes. As statedearlier, Revelation, Chapter 7, shows the saints that come through thetribulation are persecuted and killed for the gospel. All of those saintswill have to wash ‘their robes’ to make them white in the blood of theLamb. In other words, they have to wash that stench of denomination-alism off them. Then they have to get away from the things that have

158 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

stained their garment, by accepting the message for their hour. But forus in this hour, there are certain things that are exclusively for the wife.And the rest of the world, although many of them are saved, bear wit-ness in another part of the Word.

The Bible says, “Be good to all men, especially those of the householdof faith.” So those that are of the household of faith are part of the Wordtoo, but they are another part of God’s family. We, the wife, have al-ready got this Word built within us, and when we hear it, it is just like,“Yes, yes, yes, that sounds right to me!” It will not be like a strange rid-dle to us. Because there is something in us; and we were part of it tobegin with. Ephesians, Chapter One, lets us know that even before theworld was, we were predestinated in Him to be a part of Him, and nowin Him we live, we move, we have our being; we are dead and our livesare hid with Christ in God—and that is exclusively for the wife of theLamb.

This trumpet message is so understandable to us, the wife. The wifesays, “This is what I have been looking for all my life. This is what Ihave been waiting for. I have been waiting to hear the trumpet sound.I have been waiting to hear this certain distinction in sound.” There isa people that love to hear the trumpet sound. And here, I am lookingback there in the Old Testament, which is the way they communicated;the blowing of the trumpet, or the blowing of a ram’s horn. And every-one that was there in Israel, knew what the trumpet was saying, theyknew exactly what it meant. The other nations might have said, “Oh,they are just blowing a trumpet and carrying on.” No, it was not justblowing a trumpet and carrying on. It was a message! And the onesthat it was for understood it. Hallelujah!

When Joshua led the children of Israel around the walls of Jerichoseven times with the trumpets blowing, those rock walls began to vi-brate at the sound of that music, and they just crumbled to the ground.Nobody knew what was going on, except God’s informed people.Amen, there is a trumpet blowing today. Paul bore witness in aprophetic utterance, saying, “When this trumpet sounds, the dead inChrist are going to rise; and then we shall be changed, in a moment, inthe twinkling of an eye.” And the blowing of this trumpet is now takingplace, and it is giving a distinction in sound.

I love the scripture in the Book of Luke, Chapter 4, about Jesus goinginto the temple and reading from the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 61, “Theanointing of the Lord is upon me. He sent me to heal the sick. He sentme to raise the dead.” He quoted the scripture of what would happen.Well, He said, “This day, this scripture is fulfilled.” Jesus was not sayingthat all this scripture was fulfilled then, but the fulfillment of it started

159THINGS THAT BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO THE WIFE OF THE LAMB

that day as that scripture was beginning to be fulfilled; but it took threeand a half years for it to be completed. On that first day, when it wasspoken, it was only the activation of that scripture, to open it up, to startits fulfillment. And now this message has been activated by the sound-ing of this trumpet. We realize there is a message that is exclusive forthe wife of the Lamb and we are the only ones that can hear it by reve-lation. And when we hear it, glory to God, we begin to rejoice (like theWord says, “Be glad and rejoice and give honor to Him.”) in knowingthe marriage has taken place and we are clothed in fine linen, clean andwhite, and it is exclusively to us the wife.

In the Book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 2, it says, “No man can knowthe things of God, but by the Spirit of God.” So unless these things arerevealed to you by the Holy Ghost, you cannot know them. It says thespirit of man knows the natural things, how to operate in this world ofnatural things; but when it comes to the spiritual things, no man canknow the spiritual things except they are revealed. Hallelujah, it takesa revelation! It is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful to understand andto know about these good things that are laid up for us!

When you know these things, and you are part of it, you will never bethe same again. But what I want to do is to show you these things, sothat when someone is talking about the Lord and serving the Lord anddoing what is right to the best of their knowledge, that we do not putthumbs down on them. But when it comes to a denomination, they arecondemned already, because they possess a denominational spiritwhich is the spirit of iniquity. But there are people that are truly bornagain, and are not of that spirit; they do not belong to a denomination,they are outside of that.

So we see that God has other people; but the wife is exclusive. Andwho these others are, we are not to be too concerned about that. And ifthey try to tell you that you are wrong about this, just say, “I am onlysaying what the scriptures promised would be here.” Because if theydo not know it, then they are not supposed to know it. They may bezealous in trying to get you to see something that they think they see;but remember, they will go into the tribulation, and that is where theirimpurities are purged out.

It has been said by some people, “I do not think I will mind goingthrough the tribulation.” Well, I will tell you, the Word of God says itwill be a time of trouble like has never been since the world was. Thingswill not be like they are now; because with the judgments of God, therewill be earthquakes, the sun will be blacked out, and there will be somuch debris in space that to the human eye the moon will look likeblood. The prophet Isaiah said the earth will toss and tumble like a

drunk man as it goes through that period of time of the day of God’swrath. But the wife is already caught away in the rapture. But manyothers have to live right through that time period. And many of thesaints will die; some will give their lives. But there will be a people,when it all settles down and the earth is set back in its right axes (setback up straight), that God will allow to walk right into the millennialreign. (Matthew 25:31-34) These are natural people that God uses torepopulate the earth. It will not be those that Paul talked about in theBook of Romans, Chapter One, that defiled the laws of God in a per-verted manner. It will be people that God looks at as being morallysound, good human beings, living the kind of life that honors His nat-ural laws. Those are the ones that He will allow to live in the millennialreign and repopulate the earth. But all who are resurrected at the com-ing of King Jesus, shown in Revelation 19:11-16, they will be in glorifiedbodies.

So God does have people that are here for different purposes. But thislast trumpet message is exclusively for the wife of the Lamb. It is ex-clusively for the King’s wife. And we are clothed in fine linen, cleanand white. The one that goes up in fine linen, clean and white, is thevery same one that comes back with Him in Revelation 19:11-16. Andthe wife is actually the tree of life that the water of life flows throughand blesses the people. So the tree is here to keep the mortal peoplealive by the living water that flows from us. This water of life comesout of the throne of God, through the throne of our Lord Jesus Christ,to His wife, and is called the tree of life, as we bear forth our fruit. (Rev-elation, Chapter 22)

I am so happy about what God is doing during this time just beforethe rapture. It is Revelation 19:7-8 that has come alive, where it says,“Let us be glad and rejoice.” I am so glad! I am rejoicing that we, thewife, have something to be glad about. The Word says, “Let us be glad!”This Word is living; it has come alive and is walking unbound in theearth. So we are glad about who we are. We are glad for the fine linen.We are glad to be the wife of the Lamb. And since we are glad, we re-joice and give honor to Him; for the marriage has come. Yes, we havesomething to be glad about. And this little light of mine, I am going tolet it shine. There is no darkness in us at all, and we are not tossed toand fro, and we are not carried about with every wind of doctrine. Andall the members of this body edify one another in love.

There are so many things that are exclusively for us that I cannot tellthem all. Now God had one apostle, not two or three, that was ordainedto get the espoused virgin engaged to become the wife. Paul started

161THINGS THAT BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO THE WIFE OF THE LAMB

this process when he said, “I have espoused you as a chaste virgin.”And he also said, “This gospel that I preach, I did not receive it of man,neither was I taught it, but by revelation of Jesus Christ.” And now Godhas prepared a vessel to pour this in that we can preach it out—it is atrumpet sounding! (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) Hallelujah! And this trum-pet does not give an uncertain sound.

In Paul’s day, his trumpet sounded for the engagement, and it did notgive an uncertain sound. When we, the wife, hear this last trumpetsound, we know exactly what is being played, because this sounding isfor marriage. And now, those that have went on by the grave, they havealready heard the trumpet sounding in Paul’s day, and now this comesright in and takes those things that Paul said and brings them on up todate and fulfills the prophetic part of what he said; so they have no trou-ble hearing this trumpet sound, because it is a familiar sound. That iswhy those that heard Paul preach are going to appear among us. Butnow this message is going on further than what Paul preached. For thismessage is saying we are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. Thisis saying that we are the wife of the Lamb. Paul’s message was for theengagement, but this message of fine linen is saying we are the wife.We have the best there is; for being the wife is a higher calling than tojust be engaged, because in the engagement, they had to wash their gar-ments. That is in Ephesians, Chapter 5, where the saints were beingwashed by the water of the Word. But this fine linen, clean and white,has never been stained, and cannot be stained, because it is by predes-tination. It is the Word. It is the life of the Lamb, our Lord Jesus Christ,and cannot be stained.

So notice, things that are exclusively for the wife of the Lamb. Youcannot apply this message to a denomination, independent works, orany religious system. They are not part of it. It is not for them. In orderto get it, they have to come out and be not partakers with that. Andwithout this, they cannot come into the full Word of God.

Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we come to you. Wecome praising you, thanking you, and loving you. We are glad, Lord. We arenot trying to look for something to be glad about; Lord, you gave us somethingto be glad about. For we are the wife of the Lamb, clothed in fine linen, andnothing will stick to this, nothing will mar it. We thank you, Lord, for eachone that is part of this message, and I pray that you, the great Teacher, willteach us your ways. We bless your name, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

163THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME

COME WITHOUT MONEY AND COME WITHOUT PRICE

Today our scripture reading will begin in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter55, Verses 1-4, and this is where I am taking my title, Come WithoutMoney and Come Without Price. We will also be reading in the Book ofJoshua and in the Book of Deuteronomy, which shows how the childrenof Israel came into a land where the houses were already built, the wellswere already dug, and the vineyards were already planted. They didnot have to work for them, nor did they have to pay for any of thesethings. God had promised this land to Abraham and to his seed, longbefore these events that we will be reading about took place, which wasIsrael taking her land. The present inhabitants did not own this land,for it belonged to Israel. So God fulfilled a promise made is a promise keptwhen He gave back this land to the children of Israel, because this was(and still is) their promised land.

Before this time, Israel, like us, had to come through some tough times.For we, who was the virgin but now has become the wife, had comethrough some tough times to get to where God has brought us to in thishour. And for us, a more recent happening has been ‘the taking andeating up of the little book of Revelation, Chapter 10,’ which was sweetin our mouth but bitter in our belly. And because we claimed the littlebook and took it and ate it up, we were rejected by all religious move-ments, as we were told that what we were preaching was not right. ButGod gave us the key to unlock the revelation of the coming of Christ,letting us know that there were two legs of the spiritual coming ofChrist which brought the fullness of His Spirit into the earth. For Christdescended from heaven in the form of a Mighty Angel and gave us thelittle book, which we took and ate up after the church ages were over;and that is when we were baptized into the fullness of Christ, which isour marriage to our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. And now weare bringing forth the Word made flesh, because we were willing to berejected and ridiculed, and we were willing to do whatever it took tobecome a people ready to possess the revelation of what this trumpetmessage was all about. And this is what happened when we ate up thelittle book. Yes, it was bitter in our belly; but we prayed and soughtGod for every inch of spiritual land that we took. And now we possessour spiritual land, which is the last trumpet message that is going forth.And thank God, there is a people receiving it, all who are a part of thewife of the Lamb.

So let us read in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 55, starting in Verse One.Isaiah says, “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he thathath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without

164 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

money and without price.” In other words, just come on and eat, it ismade ready for you, someone else has already prepared the meal foryou. Verse 14, “Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, andeat ye that which is good,” Notice, eat that which is good. That is thegood Word of God; starting with the fact that God is a Spirit and JesusChrist is His Son. And I am so glad there is a people in Israel that arereserved; for they will hear, and are hearing, this trumpet sounding tothem, which is waking them up to the marriage of the Lamb.

Now watch this. “hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which isgood, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.” There is something thatyour soul can get fat on; and it is the life of what I am saying unto you.Verses 3-4 says, “Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soulshall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mer-cies of David. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leaderand commander to the people.” In other words, for Israel it was those thatfought the enemy and endured the wilderness in getting to this freeland, which was the land that God had promised them. But in the spir-itual realm, God is telling those that are hearing and receiving this trum-pet message, it is free and paid for, because we have already taken thelittle book and eaten it up, even though it was bitter in our belly, we re-joiced while eating it up, for not only ourselves, but for all those thatare now believing this message. See, there had to be a people go onahead and establish this gospel of the Lamb’s wife has made herself ready.So as others come, they just come right into this gospel and are madeready. (Revelation 19:7-8)

So when Israel got to where they were supposed to be, there wassomething prepared for them—there were houses that they did nothave to build, and vineyards that they did not have to plant, and wellsthat they did not have to dig. It is the same for those that receive a rev-elation of this message of fine linen; they are baptized into the fullnessof the body of Christ, and they do not have to go back and learn all thedetails of the journey of those that came before them, although they willhave a general understanding of all those things that have taken placeto get to this fullness. But that is not knowledge that they would haveto spend much time on obtaining, such as studying all that happenedto get us here. You do not have to build houses and plant vineyards;they are already planted, and the houses are already built, and the wellhas already been dug, because there is a message that is already estab-lished and everything that you have need of is contained therein.

Now let us go to the Book of Joshua; for he is the one to whom Godsaid, “Be of good courage; you are ordained of God.” And as Joshua

was preparing to go in and possess the land that God had promised,suddenly there stood a man before him with a sword drawn. WhenJoshua saw him, he was ready to fight, and he asked the man, “Are youour adversary, or are you on the Lord’s side?” And the man said, “I amthe captain of the Lord’s host. I am going to go before you, and I willmake a way. But you are going to have to fight—(you are going to haveto study, you are going to have to eat the little book that is sweet in yourmouth but bitter in your belly; but you are doing that for those that arecoming).” Well, Joshua and the children of Israel arrived at the end ofa hazardous journey, and they found a land. Likewise, we have comeinto our land. We can hear the trumpet sounding and it is not givingan uncertain sound. Therefore, we recognize that we have arrived inEden where we do not have to go to the grave. Our revelation of wherewe are at in the Word, gives us confidence in this message that is sound-ing forth from the trumpet of God, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shallnot all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of aneye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raisedincorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)—and apromise made is a promise kept.

Let us read in Joshua, Chapter 24, starting with Verse 12. I love thisstory here; it shows the children of Israel had come into their land.Here, God was speaking to Joshua, and He says, “And I sent the hornetbefore you,” Notice that. God sent hornets. They did not have to fightthat battle, after arriving at the end of their journey. God multiplied thehornets and sent them upon the enemy, and all they could do was run.Watch this, “And I sent the hornet before you, which drave (drove) them outfrom before you, (God always fights our battles for us. He just wants youto present yourself, and say, “Here am I.” And He will say, “Go!” ButGod will do the fighting.) even the two kings of the Amorites; but not withthy sword, nor with thy bow.” They did not have to use a sword nor abow, because God had some little creatures and He multiplied themand gave them a command, and they obeyed. They started stingingthose soldiers, and there was nothing they could do but get stung todeath or run. This is the way God fights sometimes. He does not al-ways use a sword or a bow. That is God’s way here at the end of thejourney. Here, God is telling them, “You did not use a sword or a bow,I sent the hornets, and the hornets did the work for you; they drovethem out.” So they did not have to fight that battle. Verse 13 says(watch), “And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, (Noticethat, I have given you something that you did not have to labor for.)”

When someone that is ordained of God to be part of the Lamb’s wifeis baptized into this Word, the very moment they come in, they are part

of the whole. They are part of all the revelational knowledge that is inthe wife. They are part of everything that is in the fullness of the bodyof Christ. They are part of the gifts, part of the ministry—part of thewhole thing. There are many members; and not every member has thesame knowledge at the same time, but they are part of the whole. Thisis what God is telling us here. You did not have to do these things;someone else did them for you.

Notice my text, Come Without Money and Come Without Price—just eatthe good things. He did not say to eat out of the dung heap, but to eatthe good things. In many places (so-called churches and past move-ments of God), all they have is discarded food after the meal has beeneaten. But God gives the wife of the Lamb the best there is, fresh Wordfor the hour we are living in. He said, “I will give you something good.”Verse 13 again, “I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and citieswhich ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards whichye planted not do ye eat.” In other words, you are eating this messageafter it became the Word made flesh. You did not have to endure thebitterness that the taking and eating up the little book caused, becausethe little book has already been taken, and it has already been eaten,and it has already been digested; and now it has changed forms and be-come our flesh and bones. Since this has taken place, it is with us as itwas with our Lord Jesus Christ when He said in John 6:53, “Except yeeat of my flesh and drink my blood, ye have no life in you.” Therefore,we can now say, “Unless you eat of our flesh and drink of our blood,you have no part with us, because we have become the body of theWord.” We are His flesh and bones. Therefore, you can drink of theSpirit of this message, which is the life-giving source. This water, orspiritual blood of life, is going forth; and as you eat it (our flesh), it willchange your mortal body.

Verse 14, “Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and intruth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of theflood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.” This scripture begs the ques-tion, “What are the gods in our day?” Let us answer this way— eachone could have a different type god. Anything that is elevated abovethis Word, and God’s plan, and God’s ways—that is your god. You donot have to build a statue out here and bow down and worship it, inorder for something to be your god. It does not take much for manypeople to have something above what God is doing. Verses 15-16, “Andif it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye willserve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other sideof the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for meand my house, we will serve the LORD. And the people answered and said,

God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;”Let us go to the Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 6, starting with Verse

10. And this is God making a promise to Israel before they took theland. It says, “And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have broughtthee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, andto Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,” I wantto bring this in here about the revelation that God gave to Paul. ForGod swore to Abraham; and Paul explained this in Galatians, Chapter3, how it pertains to the Gentiles in the New Testament. For the Jewswere saying, “We be Abraham’s seed.” Remember at that time the Jewslooked at the Gentiles as dogs; but watch Paul’s revelation, he said, “Thepromise was made to Abraham and to his seed, which seed is Christ.”And with that one statement, Paul spiritually knocked those Jews offtheir feet. And he went on and explained that the Gentiles were alsoAbraham’s seed, because in Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile, andthe Gentiles had a right to everything that God promised Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob—as far as the spiritual riches and blessings were con-cerned. But not the land of Israel, that is for the natural Jew.

Here, I want to make clear, I am not talking about the wife of the Lambtaking natural land (but the natural land belongs to the nation of Israel,and they will take every foot of it). God is moving, as we are living ina day where things are not just happening haphazardly. Everything isordained and is happening a step at a time. God is moving and fulfillingwhat He said. God is going to give Israel back all their land and thetemple is going to be built back again, because that is where our LordJesus is coming back to. And there is no way to stop it; because when‘the Word whose time has come to be fulfilled’ has come alive and is onthe scene, it does not matter how many come against it, they cannotstop it. Just like here in the United States of America, which is the lambbeast that is shown in Revelation, Chapter 13, it is now speaking like adragon, and we can see this happening as we speak, through the lead-ership of this country. And those that have spiritual eyes can see thisclearly. And yes, this is happening now. And there are those that aretrying to stop it; but no one can. It just runs right over the top of every-thing that gets in the way. That is God fulfilling His Word, and what-ever God says, that is the way it is.

Continuing with Verse 11, it says, “And houses full of all good things(When God gives you a house, it is full of good things. My wife, Bar-barajean, got inspired to write a song from this, entitled, In the HouseFilled with Good Things, showing that when God gives a house, it is filledwith good things; such as the gifts of the Spirit to compliment the min-istry as we edify one another in love. In this house is the trumpet sound-

ing and the dead are arriving, all the members of the body of Christ areclothed in fine linen, clean and white. And this is exclusively for thewife. And perfect love casts out doubt, and we have all that we need, inthis house filled with good things. This house is not full of serpents,scorpions, and creeping things. No. It is full of good things.), which thoufilledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees,which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;” And in thenatural realm of the Jews, they came back home, because the Word ofGod said they would; and even now, some are still returning. But therewere an elected group that came early to make ready for those that werecoming. They prepared, and still are preparing a place for them, so thatthey would not have to work for the land. They prepared the housesand the vineyards, so that those coming could just come into the placemade ready for them and enjoy the fruits of labor.

That is the thing about it; when someone is baptized into the fullnessof Christ, they are part of the wife of the Lamb. They have come into aplace that was already prepared for them. They come into the house ofthe Lamb’s wife, and they do not have to come in and build, and say, “Ihave to understand this and I have to understand that.” No, there is rev-elational understanding here, and you just blend with the understand-ing. You may not have a mental understanding of everything as wellas you would like at first, as an individual, but you are now the wife,and understanding comes with the package. And being part of the wifecomes the greater understanding, because of marriage. God has lead-ership and He has a trumpet sounding forth; it is the voice of Christspeaking, and we are freely given all things. This includes the mind ofChrist, as we are now members of His body, of His flesh and of Hisbones, which happened at the time of our marriage to our Lord JesusChrist.

Notice, God has filled our house with good things, and a well we didnot have to dig. There is a well, and you did not dig it. Someone camebefore you and did it for you. And God has drove out everything thatwould keep you from obtaining it. Remember, God sent those hornetsin and drove out the things that would hinder you from possessingwhat God has given you. That is God’s Word being fulfilled. God said,“Here is your house full of good things; so come on in and eat the goodthings.” You do not have to fill the house up with good things. See, thehouse is already full of good things for the wife, provided by the sound-ing of this last trumpet. Hallelujah! And everyone that comes into thishouse is part of it.

Yes, we labored through the ages; and we fought against much falsedoctrine. Many said, “That man, Ben Howard, is crazy!” Well, to those

I say, “If I am the one who is crazy, how is it that you did not come intothis house filled with good things?” I am rejoicing exceedingly in thiswonderful house filled with good things! Therefore, I do not have timefor the nonsense of the religious systems that they have today; meaningdenominations, and all the independent works that claim they are nota denomination. We dwell in the house where there is one mind; it isthe mind of Christ. We are enjoying these good things to the full extentand we are eating well! For our Lord, Husband, and King is not goingto send leanness to our soul, but we have the fatness in the Lord. Weare not asking for the things of the world; for He always supplies ourneeds to live in this world. And we do not get carried away with thecares of this life. For He is our reason—our peace, our joy, everythingwe could ever need. It is greater than anything this world could offer.And we praise Him with all our hearts for it!

We do not complain about what the Lord gives us, like the children ofIsrael did when they were coming through the wilderness. God gavethem manna, and at first they shouted over it as it fell every day. It wasso good and sweet; they could hardly wait to get their portion. But soonthey were saying, “Our soul loathes this manna; we want some meat toeat. This manna is all that we have eaten all these years. We want some-thing else to eat. Moses, you should not have led us out here, for youcannot feed us any meat.” So God told Moses, “Tell them, tomorrowthere will be plenty of meat.” So God let quails come in (in the middleof a desert), and the ground was covered with them; and the childrenof Israel ate all they could eat. And while they were eating, God slewthe choicest (fattest) of them; because they were not thankful for whatGod had done for them. They just wanted to consume it on the lust oftheir flesh. They did not care about anything that God had done. Sobe careful what you ask for. If God gives you a good living, be contentwith what He gives you. Yes, God gave them all they asked for, butwhen He did, they were not thankful for what God gave them. So Godsent leanness to their soul because their motives and objectives werenot right. They did not glorify God with it.

But now the houses are built. Watch what the Word says God wouldgive them. Verse 11, “And houses full of all good things, which thou filledstnot, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, whichthou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;” Now watch, afteryou have eaten and are full, once He has given you everything—bethankful!

Recently, I had a man call me and he was so excited. He said, “Thesebooks that I am reading, there is nothing in the Unites States like them.I will go further than that, Brother Ben, there is nothing in the whole

world that even comes close to them.” Well, I agree with that; this mes-sage is the greatest thing in the world; there is nothing that can evencome close to it. But are you going to eat? And what are you going todo once you eat it? For when you eat it and be full, Verse 12 says, “Thenbeware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land ofEgypt, from the house of bondage.” See, He is going to give them a wellthat they did not have to dig, and a house that they did not have tobuild. And He filled the house with good things. But He is not exces-sive. He is not wasteful. But He said that He would give us what weneed. And many times He also gives us what we want.

So there is a place prepared for people that are hungry and thirsty tocome into; for they are blessed by God when they are hungry andthirsty. They do not have to dig wells; for the well is already dug. Theydo not have to build houses; the house is already built. They do nothave to plant the vineyards; for the vineyard is already planted. Andthey do not have to make the wine nor plant the corn; it is already takencare of. All they have to do is come into the house of the Lamb’s wifeand enjoy. Our Lord Jesus cares for us, and He has prepared thesethings through His elected for all who are predestinated to come andbe a part of us.

Heavenly Father, we come praising you and thanking you, in the name ofour Lord Jesus Christ, for your goodness and mercy, and now for your greatgrace that you have given to us, the wife of your Son. I pray that you will takethese words that we have spoken today, and that you will use them for yourglory. And may we all take courage from this moment on, and go forward,knowing that you have done a great thing and you are going to do even greaterthings according to thy Word. And when you make a promise, a promise madeis a promise kept. Lord, we bless and praise your name. Amen.

171THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME

OCCASIONS WHERE THE CHRIST SHINED THROUGHTHE JEWISH MAN, JESUS

Let us begin reading today in the Book of Matthew, Chapter 15, andhere is where I am taking my text. I want to take this thought and titleit, Occasions Where the Christ Shined through the Jewish Man, Jesus. Nowwhen Jesus began to preach, one of the things He said was, “I am sentto none but the Jews.” He could not go to anyone else, and He told Hisdisciples, “Go not to the Samaritans, nor in the way of the Gentiles; butgo rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” See, that was speakingfrom the standpoint of the man, Jesus, for He was born into a Jewishfamily, with His mother being a Jew, and Joseph, who raised and taughtJesus was a very strict Jew. This shaped the thinking of Jesus as He grewup in the Jewish society. And according to the Book of Luke, Chapter4, His custom was to go to the temple every Sabbath and hear the read-ing of the scriptures, and to read the scripture Himself. But thingschanged, once Jesus was baptized of John and the Spirit of Christ cameinto Him. And when He went to the temple this time, He read the scrip-ture from the Book of Isaiah, saying, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent meto heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recoveringof sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the ac-ceptable year of the Lord.” Then after He got through reading, He said,“This day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears,” thus indicating that thisscripture was fulfilled in Himself. At first they wondered at the gra-cious words that He spoke, and they were saying, “Is this not Joseph’sson?” But then He went on to tell them how they would persecute Him,and that no prophet is accepted in His own country, reminding them ofhow Elias (Elijah) was sent to them and they rejected him and God senthardships to them. Then they were filled with wrath, and they rose upand thrust Jesus out of the city. The Jewish leaders probably said to oneanother, “Something terrible has happened to this man, Jesus.” Whathappened to Him was the Christ, which has always been, came intoHim, who was the Word made flesh; and this began to change Histhinking and His way of doing things. Therefore, the religious leadersbegan to persecute Him (just like He said they would do); even thoughJesus Christ was a minister unto the circumcision for the truth of Godto confirm the promises made unto the fathers. But the Jews wereblinded to this fact; even though Jesus said, “Salvation is of the Jews.”This clearly establishes His mentality concerning the Gentiles, as Hewas to confirm the covenant God made with Israel. The scripture for

172 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

this is in Romans 15:8, and shows why things happened in the ministryof Jesus Christ like they did, as He was bound by the covenant that Godmade with the Jewish fathers. But here came the Christ, which is neitherJew nor Gentile. And with this revelational understanding, we can seehow the Christ shined through the Jewish man, Jesus, and how theChrist is now shining through the wife of the Lamb.

In the beginning of Matthew, Chapter 15, it shows Jesus speaking tothe Pharisees and scribes that came to Him; then afterwards, He de-parted from them and went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. So let uspick up reading in Verses 21-22, “Then Jesus went thence, and departed intothe coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of thesame coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Sonof David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.” Now watch, thiswas a Gentile woman. The Jews did not have anything to do with theGentiles. Verse 23 says, “But he answered her not a word…” That is theway the Jews were; they would not talk to those people they consideredheathens, so Jesus answered her not a word. Here, we are seeing theJewish man, Jesus, in a real way. Now watch, this is an occasion wherethe Christ shined through and granted the woman favor over the Jewishthinking and showed mercy, and her daughter was healed of her sick-ness.

Notice here our text, Occasions Where the Christ Shined through the JewishMan, Jesus. Those religious Jews did not know what had happened toJesus when He began to do things differently from the way He did inthe days before, so they began to say, “Is this not the carpenter? Weknow His father and mother, and brothers and sisters.” The differencewas that Christ was now shining through Him.

So watch what happens here in Verse 23, “But he answered her not aword. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; forshe crieth after us.” They were saying, “Get rid of that woman. If peoplesee her even close to us, they are going to think badly of us. Send heraway!” Watch now what He says to her. Verse 24, “But he answered andsaid, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Now this isa key scripture that we will use, “I am not sent to you. I am sent to thelost sheep of the house of Israel.”

Now in Matthew, Chapter 10, Jesus Christ called His twelve apostlestogether unto Him, and He told them, “Do not go to the Samaritans,nor go in the way of the Gentiles; but go rather to the lost sheep of thehouse of Israel.” See, that was Jewish thinking. But watch, somethingelse came into being as Jesus was thinking like a Jew. This was theChrist that has always been, even before Jesus was ever born. Noticethat, Christ was before, Jesus was ever born. In the Book of Genesis,

173OCCASIONS WHERE THE CHRIST SHINED THROUGHTHE JEWISH MAN, JESUS

Chapter 14, we see Christ with Melchizedek, who shared bread andwine with Abraham and blessed him. Then in the Book of 1 Corinthians10:2-4, Paul spoke of Christ as the Rock in the wilderness, saying aboutthe children of Israel, “They were all baptized unto Moses in the cloudand in the sea, and they did all eat the same spiritual meat and they didall drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rockthat followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” And this Christ cameinto Jesus without measure when He was baptized by John in the Riverof Jordan.

Notice in Verse 24 again, what Jesus said to the woman, “I am not sentbut unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” I wanted to bear down onthat. And in Romans 15:8, it indicates the same; for He was not sent toanyone but the Jews. But watch, watch, watch—God knew what Hewas doing all the time. Yes, God made a covenant with Abraham,David, and others of Abraham’s seed, saying, “I will raise up a son tosit on the throne of David,” which is of course Jesus Christ. And thatpromise is fulfilled in the millennial reign, showing once again that apromise made is a promise kept.

Now watch, Verses 25-26, “Then came she and worshipped him, saying,Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’sbread, and to cast it to dogs.” So here we see this Jew saying, “It is notmeet (suitable) to take the children’s bread and give it to dogs.” But Hecould not get rid of her that easy. She wanted help for her daughter andshe just would not let go. And although Christ had come into the man,Jesus, that did not keep Christ from working with others; for here theSpirit of Christ was influencing the woman’s mind and leading her inthis matter. The lesson here is do not give up just because the Lord turnsyou down to begin with or you do not get what you are asking for rightwhen you think you ought to. Be persistent. So let us watch this womanreceive from our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 27, “And she said, Truth, Lord:yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Watchwhat it says. Verse 28, “Then Jesus (by the Spirit and mind of Christ) an-swered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even asthou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” Shewanted deliverance for her daughter and she did not leave until she gotit. We cannot be timid about the things of God. Pray, seek God. If it isfor us, we shall obtain it!

Here is an occasion where we see the Christ that was in the Jewishman, Jesus, overriding the thinking of the Jewish man, Jesus, to thepoint that there was only one thought, as the thinking of the Jewishman, Jesus, congealed (solidified) with the Christ in Him, as He spokethe Word to this woman. Jesus’ disciples were saying, “Lord, get rid of

that woman!” Can you imagine the conversation that must have beengoing on? “Everyone knows we are Jews and we are not supposed toassociate with those lower class people. What are the people going tothink, seeing a woman following us around like that?” And at first Jesussaid unto her, “It is not meet to take the children’s bread and give it todogs. I am only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Well, thatdid not satisfy her. The thing was that Christ was moving with her, also.And so the Christ in Jesus just overrode the Jewish man’s thinking, andhere is what the Christ through Jesus caused Him to say, “O woman,great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt (as you have re-quested).” We see the Christ just moved in and Jesus Christ gave herwhat she wanted.

See, when Christ came into the man, Jesus, it really messed up HisJewish thinking, as far as the natural man’s thoughts go. Everythingwas changed. He could no longer be just a Jew, act like a Jew, and dolike the Jews. The Christ came in and He gladly went with that. Thethinking of the Jewish man would not want to do this, for the Jewsthinking would be, “It is not meet for me to take the children’s breadand give it unto dogs,” because just from the standpoint of Jesus theman, He had not come for anyone but the Jews—but the Christ over-rode and shined through, because Christ is neither Jew nor Gentile,male nor female. And that is the secret that God gave to Paul as hebrought forth a revelation of the body of Christ being neither Jew norGentile, male nor female, but a new man (a new creation). And now inthis last day, as we were baptized into the fullness of Christ, this newman has become the perfect man, shown in the marriage of the Lamb;and we, His wife, are manifesting our Lord Jesus, our Husband andKing, as we are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. (Ephesians 4:13-16, Ephesians 5:30-32, and Revelation 19:7-8)

So I am saying these things to let you know the thinking of the Jewishsociety in that time period. So when this woman came, at first Jesus re-acted like any other Jew would, saying, “Go away! This is not for you.I am not going to take the children’s bread and give it to dogs. I amonly sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. So away with you!”But she said, “Lord, the dogs desire the children’s crumbs that fall fromthe master’s table.” That is when Jesus the Christ spoke; as it shows inVerse 28, “Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith:be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from thatvery hour.” See, the Christ took over the situation; so it was not anymorewhat the Jewish man, Jesus, thought; it was what the Christ in Himcaused Him to think. And there was only one mind about the matter.

Now in the Book of Mark, Chapter 7, it gives the same story, but it

175OCCASIONS WHERE THE CHRIST SHINED THROUGHTHE JEWISH MAN, JESUS

gives a few points I want to get. See, there are two of these writers thatwrote about this same incident (in the mouth of two or three witnesseslet every word be established). Mark tells us the same story thatMatthew did. Verses 24-30 says, “And from thence he arose, and went intothe borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have noman know it: but he could not be hid. For a certain woman, whose youngdaughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: Thewoman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that hewould cast forth the devil out of her daughter. But Jesus said unto her, Let thechildren first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to castit unto the dogs. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogsunder the table eat of the children’s crumbs. And he said unto her, For thissaying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. And when she wascome to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid uponthe bed.” Something came through, because Jesus was telling her thatthe children’s bread did not belong to the dogs—it was the Christ inHim that shined through. He was not just a Jewish man standing therenow; He was the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember here that He was notthat until John baptized Him and Christ came into Him; and that sayingof, “Is this not the carpenter?” became, “Is this not the Christ?”

Now let us go to John, Chapter 4. I know I am reading much scripture,but I want to show you the man, Jesus; and how that after Christ cameinto Him, the thinking of Christ prevailed over Jesus’ Jewish ways.Many times we may have the idea that ‘we are going to do somethingthis way, or we are going to do something that way, and this is how wehave always done it, so this is the way to do it.’ But then Christ comesand changes the picture to the point that we cannot do it like we oncedid. We cannot come to a social church nor join a denomination, forthat day has passed. And we cannot go back to what we came throughand try to be part of that anymore, because Christ has moved us on.There was a time in the days before that we would go to different placesfor fellowship; but since we have been baptized into the fullness ofChrist, it is a different picture altogether, because that is not the mind(way) of Christ.

In the Book of John, here is a woman at Jacob’s well that is not of Jesus’kind, but we see how the grace of God intervened on this occasion andChrist shines through and finds a way to help her. Verses 1-4 says,“When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus madeand baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, buthis disciples,) (There was a reason Jesus did not baptize; He had a spiri-tual baptism to perform.) He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.And he must needs go through Samaria.” Notice, He had a need to go

through Samaria. Well, this was the Christ in Him. Jesus may not haveknown why He needed to go through Samaria; but when Christ is mov-ing, things come into being and fall into place, and one does not evenknow how they fell into place like they did. But then we realize thatthere is a greater power at work. It was natural for Jesus as a Jew tostick with His own kind; but when others began to come to Him, theChrist in Him made a way for them and began to bless them.

Now when Christ came into Jesus the carpenter, it really messed upHis thinking as a Jew, as far as Him being just a good Jewish man. Andalthough He was God’s only begotten Son, it took the Christ to makeHim complete. And that messed Him up as far as going into the syna-gogues and sitting there and reading scripture, where everything is fineand everyone is patting Him on the back, saying, “I enjoyed the scrip-ture you read.” See, as mentioned earlier, Luke, Chapter 4, says “As Hiscustom was, He went into the synagogue.” But this certain day was dif-ferent; for Jesus found the place in the scripture that applied to Him.And then He said, “This day this scripture is fulfilled.” And because ofthe things He said to them, they were filled with wrath and rose up andthrust the Jewish man that the Christ was shining through out of thecity. But Jesus passing through the midst of them, went His way. Thatis when the religions of that day began to persecute Him. This was notthe same Jesus that would come and read the scriptures to them. Theirthought was that Jesus had gotten messed up somewhere along the line.They did not know that Christ had come into Him and that He was nowJesus the Christ.

I remember when I began to associate with the Pentecostal people,some would say, “Ben is getting himself all messed up.” Well, to themI was; but to me, it was just another step on the road to greater spiritu-ality, and from there I kept moving with the Word until I finally cameto this place of the sounding of this last trumpet, where we are now. (1Corinthians 15:51-57) That is what happened when Jesus came into thetemple and sat down to read Luke, Chapter 4, concerning the scriptureof the anointing that had come into Him. That is when the temple goerssaw a different Jesus. The fact is, His name was no longer just Jesus;His name became Jesus the Christ. And after this, some people wouldsay, “Is this not the Christ?” They were speaking by their revelation ofthe plan of God that had moved into another phase in preparation ofthe new covenant.

Let us continue our reading from the Book of John, Chapter 4. Verses5-7 says, “Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near tothe parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob’s well wasthere. Jesus therefore, being wearied (notice, just like any other man would,

He got weary) with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about thesixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith untoher, Give me to drink.” This is something no Jew would do. But therewas more to this man than being a Jew, He was the Word made flesh;and when Christ came into Him, He was more than a man, He was nowthe Christ man. That is why carnal men would say, “He has gottenHimself all messed up.” Notice, He is no more that good Jewish man,the carpenter, who everyone liked. And here Jesus is going to do some-thing that causes even His disciples to marvel at Him. Verses 8-9, “(Forhis disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) Then said the womanof Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, (But this Jew, some-thing has happened to Him. He was not just a Jew. He is the very Sonof God, born of a virgin named Mary. But when Christ came into Jesusand took His abode, Jesus became an entirely different being in His wayof doing things.) askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For theJews (notice this; please do not miss this part) have no dealings with theSamaritans.” They were half-breed people; some of the Jews got marriedto some of them and they became mixed like that, and that cut them offfrom Israel altogether.

Notice, ‘the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.’ Now watch. Thetitle of the message, Occasions Where The Christ Shined Through the JewishMan, Jesus. Yes, the Christ came in and overrode the thinking of theJewish man, Jesus. Hallelujah, Jesus Christ is the answer! Watch whatHe says. Verse 10, “Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest thegift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldesthave asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.” Watch, He istalking as if there were a third person involved, “Thou would haveasked Him.” Not me, but Him. ‘And He would have given to you,’ as ifHe was not even in the picture. Here came the mind of Christ. And themind of Christ became the mind of Jesus—thus manifesting Jesus theChrist. And it is the same with the wife of God’s Son; for after we werebaptized into the fullness of Christ, we have the mind of Christ, becausewe are Christ the wife of the Lamb, God’s only begotten Son. So as theman Jesus received the mind of Christ, so do we in this hour as His wife.We are made from His flesh and bones, and are the feminine part ofJesus Christ’s Spirit.

So here, the woman began to talk to Jesus. Verses 11-12, “The womansaith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: fromwhence then hast thou that living water? (She connects with Jacob here,because many of the Samarians were part Jew and part Gentile.) Artthou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereofhimself, and his children, and his cattle?” This is hundreds and hundreds

178 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

of years later, and this well was still in service, giving forth water. Sheis saying, “Jacob even drank from this well, his children drank from thiswell, and his cattle drank from this well. Are you greater than our fa-ther, Jacob?” Watch what He says. Verse 13, “Jesus answered and saidunto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:” This is naturalwater. He spoke about natural things, but He was getting to somethingspiritual. Christ was using the voice of Jesus’ Word body to take thiswoman on a journey. That is why Jesus said, “If you drink this naturalwater, you are going to get thirsty again.” Watch what He says next.Verse 14, “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall neverthirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water spring-ing up into everlasting life.” Here Jesus Christ was speaking propheticallyof the Holy Ghost and the new birth, which was not yet given at thistime. (John 7:37-39) But His Word would be sufficient until the HolyGhost was given. So this woman received the infallible Word of Jesusthe Christ for her salvation.

Now in the Old Testament, they had the Spirit of God, the Spirit asChrist, but not the Holy Ghost. See, the Holy Ghost means He bringsthose attributes of Jesus Christ into the believers, and one actually re-ceives those things of Christ into oneself. That is when a person willact like, talk like, and be like Christ. Peter and John were an exampleof this as they were going up to the temple, just after Pentecost. Therewas a man lame from his mother’s womb, asking alms. And Peter said,“Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, give I thee.” Now thatwas Christ Jesus in Peter after he received the Holy Ghost. See, he didnot talk like nor act like the old Peter; for he said, “In the name of JesusChrist, get up and walk!” It stunned the man; so Peter just reached outand got him by his hand, and suddenly his feet and ankle bones re-ceived strength. Then the man went into the temple with them praisingGod, dancing, and giving glory to God! “To be like Jesus. On earth Iwant to be like Him.”

See, that is what Christ will do. The man, Jesus Himself, did not do amiracle; not one miracle did He do, until Christ came into Him. Jesuswas, and is, the Word made flesh, and Christ came into Him andanointed that Word that He was, and that Word got up and began towalk—meaning, that Word began to be manifested. And that is whathas happened in our day. Amen. We have become the Word, becausenow we have been baptized into the fullness of Christ. And we werepart of that Word to begin with, because Ephesians, Chapter One, showsthat we were chosen in Him before the world was. We were part of thatpredestination when Jesus was predestinated. And now, that sameChrist that lived in Jesus is living in us, and He is doing the same thing

through us that He did through Jesus. Because now we are living inHis fullness as we are Christ the wife of God’s only begotten Son, be-cause we were created from the same Word that He was created from,thus making us bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh.

Verse 15 says, “The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that Ithirst not, neither come hither to draw.” She had not gotten the point, yet.She thought He had some secret water (And He did!), saying, “Give methis water, so I do not have to come here and draw water.” Watch whatHe says. Verse 16, “Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and comehither. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her,Thou hast well said, I have no husband: For thou hast had five husbands; andhe whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.” He issaying, “That is the truth.” See, Jesus had no way of knowing that; butChrist in Him knew about it. Here came the occasion—we see theChrist shining through the man Jesus and just took over and began touse His tongue.

Many times when I am preaching, Christ uses my tongue also. It isChrist. See, here was a man, Jesus; and Christ gave Him these thoughtsabout the woman. Remember, it was Jesus who said to the otherwoman, the one who came to Him about her daughter being vexed witha devil, “I am not going to give the children’s bread to dogs.” The dis-ciples said, “Send her away.” But, no, here came something. Here camethe Christ, and then Jesus began to talk differently; for Christ anointedHim and He gave her what she wanted, saying, “Go thy way; for yourchild is healed.” This was true also for this woman at the well as Jesusgave her the living water that she desired. That was not just a man.That was more than a man! And it is the same thing today when Christspeaks.

Let us go on to Verse 19, “The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive thatthou art a prophet.” Now she began to see, “This is not an ordinary man.There is something here, more than a man.” When He was sitting thereon the well, there was nothing outstanding by the way He looked nordressed; for He was not wearing a priestly robe, but He was dressedjust like all the other Jewish men would be. When she first met Himsitting there on the well, she could not tell any difference in Him andany other Jewish man. But now! But now she began to see this wasmore than just a man—“I perceive that thou are a prophet.” Verse 20,“Our fathers worshipped in this mountain (watch how religious she getsnow); and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”So now, once He told the woman about herself, she got very religious!She had previously had five husbands, and she was living with a manthat was not her husband, and she came to the well by herself, not with

the other women; meaning her reputation probably was not very goodand the other women did not want to be associated with her. Well, shecame and she found something that she was not looking for! But watchhow religious she got. After Jesus told her about her husbands, she said,“Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is theplace where men ought to worship.” Now she is talking about worship-ping. Why? Because she began to realize that this was a man of God.

Now Verses 21-24, “Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hourcometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worshipthe Father. Ye worship ye know not what (they worshipped all kinds ofgods): we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hourcometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father inspirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit:and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” That isthe only way to worship God—in spirit and in truth. What is truth? Itis what God is doing today—present tense. Truth is not what was backthere. It was truth then. It is history now. It is the chronicles, and isnot the living Word for today. Anything behind us is the chronicles.But God is seeking someone to worship Him in Spirit and in truth today.

Verse 25, “The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, whichis called Christ: when he is come…” Notice, ‘when He comes.’ That iswhat people say now. I will tell you, my friend, He has already come;He is here today, and He is still talking. Now I am not talking aboutthe physical glorified Jesus here. Please hear me now! Like the manwe were talking to a while back, he said, “Ben, I can show you whereJesus does not come until He begins the millennial reign. He comes andHe brings the angels with Him. He sets His kingdom up upon earth.Jesus does not come until that time. And you say there is going to be arapture and we do not have to go through tribulation.” I said, “I agreewith you, that Jesus does not come until the beginning of the millennialreign, but Christ has come already. That is Revelation, Chapter 10, andwe were baptized into the fullness of His body. And we are changed ina moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and are caught up to meet ourLord Jesus. Then the tribulation comes.” Then when our Lord Jesuscomes back, as shown in Revelation 19:11-16, His wife is with Him,clothed in fine linen, clean and white. And only the wife is clothed infine linen. Revelation 19:7-8, says, “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give ho-nour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made her-self ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen,clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” And thewife is the only group that the fine linen applies to. Yes! We go up be-fore tribulation! Yes! We come back with Jesus. So, does Jesus come

181OCCASIONS WHERE THE CHRIST SHINED THROUGHTHE JEWISH MAN, JESUS

back to this earth prior to the beginning of the millennial reign? No.In the Book of Acts, Chapter 3, Peter was asked, “When are these thingsgoing to come to pass? When is the Lord coming back to set up thekingdom?” And Peter said, “The heavens must retain Him until thetime of restitution, until God restores this earth back.” That is the be-ginning of the millennial reign. So our Lord Jesus Christ does not comeback to this earth until the beginning of the millennial reign; and whenHe comes back, His wife comes back with Him. That is scripture. Andto us, the wife, that is as clear as crystal.

Now watch this woman, she is religious now, and she began to tellabout her revelation. “Now the Messiah is going to come someday.And I know that when He comes (notice the Messiah which is calledChrist), “he will tell us all things.” Verse 27, “Jesus saith unto her, I thatspeak unto thee am he.” That was not just the man speaking, it was theChrist in the man. Do you see how Jesus went from Jesus the carpenterto Jesus the Christ? And this woman here, she got so religious that shebegan to tell Jesus what she knew about it.

And watch, Verse 27, “And upon this came his disciples, and marveled thathe talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? Or, Why talkestthou with her?” In other words, He was doing something that to a Jewwas disgraceful, talking to this woman. But it was not Jesus; it was theChrist in Jesus. Now watch, Verses 28-34, “The woman then left her wa-terpot (she was not interested in natural water anymore), and went herway into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me allthings that ever I did: is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city,and came unto him. In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Mas-ter, eat. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of (He waseating just fine). Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any manbrought him ought to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will ofhim that sent me, and to finish his work.” That was the Christ.

Now on to Verse 39; it says, “And many of the Samaritans of that city be-lieved on him for the saying of the woman, which testified (testified, notpreached), He told me all that ever I did.” There is a difference in a womantestifying and preaching. She can have a testimony, and people can be-lieve because of her testimony; but to get up and preach, that is a certaingift from God and given only to men.

Let us go to the Book of Romans, Chapter 15. Verse 8 says, “Now I saythat Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, toconfirm the promises made unto the fathers:” Jesus came to be a minister tothe circumcision; that is why He kept telling them, “This is for the Jews.Salvation is of the Jews. I am not sent to anyone but the house of Israel.”But watch this, the Christ is neither Jew nor Gentile. That is why the

ones that are the wife of the Lamb are neither Jew nor Gentile, but anew order of saints that are married to God’s Son. (Ephesians 5:30-32and Revelation 19:7-8)

Now in Verse 15 of Romans, Chapter 15, Paul says, “Nevertheless,brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting youin mind, (watch why) because of the grace that is given to me of God, That I(personal pronoun) should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be ac-ceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.” In other words, the Gentileswere acceptable by the message that Paul was bringing to them. Nowlooking at this gospel is like planting a fruit tree in your garden. Paulhad the Word, and he planted that seed. We will call it an apple tree.Then as it grew throughout time, the seven church ages were the trunkof the apple tree. Now we have a tree that has seen many winters andsummers. But now it has come time for the tree to produce the apple,the fruit, and manifest the life. This is where this last trumpet comesinto view, which takes us from the planting, from the roots, and fromthe trunk of the tree to where the big juicy apples are being produced.And that is this message coming forth that Paul previously laid in thefoundation. The life began in the roots, and here it is, coming forth—and we believe and accept it with great joy! This new order of saints isthe wife of the Lamb—and they are neither Jew nor Gentile. Neverthe-less, the gospel for all other groups has its place in God’s Kingdom andwill be just as God ordained. But we have now become Christ the wifeof God’s only begotten Son, baptized into the fullness of Christ, and arenow fulfilling Ephesians 4:13-16, clothed in fine linen, clean and white,while rejoicing with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

Do you see, occasions where the Christ that possessed Jesus beganthinking through the man Jesus and did what God wanted done in spiteof man’s thinking? And that is what preaching is about. We may thinkwe are going to say this or say that; but sometimes the Christ overridesit and says what our Lord Jesus Christ would say if He was here in Hisperson. Sometimes I will get up to preach, and in my mind I want topreach on one thing, but when I get started, Christ overrides it and Ispeak about something else that He sees is more needful for that presenthour.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your love, mercy, and goodness. I praythat you will take these words and use them for your glory. In the preciousname of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

183THE GOSPEL FOR THE WIFE IN ISRAEL AT THIS END TIME

STAYING IN SYNCWITH THE PRESENT DAY WORD

Greetings to each one of you. I trust that you are rejoicing in our LordJesus Christ. My message today is, Staying in Sync with the Present DayWord. There are many scriptures on this subject of present day Word,but sometimes I just like to read a scripture and begin talking about itand let the Lord give us the truth that He wants to give for the moment.See, God is a God that gives Word for the current moment, presenttense. A better way to say it is—He gives Word in real time, meaningthe actual time during which a process or event occurs. We see this withthe two thieves on the cross that were crucified with Jesus Christ. Hewas nailed on the cross with a thief on each side of Him; and one ofthem railed against Jesus, “If you be the Christ, save thyself and us!”But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, seeingyou are in the same condemnation? We justly deserve the due rewardof our deeds; but this man has done nothing amiss.” Then he said untoJesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” AndJesus said (watch this present day Word), “Today you shall be with mein paradise.” It was not written anywhere like that; but here it was. Hejust spoke the Word; it was present day Word. He was keeping in syncwith the Word that God had ordained for Him.

I love the way God does things. He gives us choices; but yet Heknows what we will do. I preached a message recently entitled, CouldHave Jesus Christ Avoided Going to the Cross?, which showed when Jesuswas there in the Garden of Gethsemane praying, He prayed three times,and His sweat became as great drops of blood. He prayed, “Father, ifit be possible, let this cup pass from me.” He knew what the presentday Word was, so then He said, “Nevertheless, not my will but thinebe done.” Then here came Judas and other religious men to take Himaway. And one of the disciples pulled out a sword in order to saveJesus; but Jesus told him to put the sword away. Jesus said, “Do younot think that I could pray to my Father, and He would not give memore than twelve legions of angels?” I love this part. Then Jesus said,“But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?”(Matthew, Chapter 26) In other words, Jesus was saying, “I am notgoing to block the scripture from being fulfilled. The scripture has al-ready said it. So if I call twelve legions of angels and destroy these menand save myself, how can the scriptures be fulfilled?” So He drank ofthe bitter cup and He went to the cross and fulfilled the present dayWord. Then He went down and preached to the spirits in prison; and

184 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

He stayed there about three days and nights. And when He came forth,He brought all of those Old Testament saints out with Him. That waspresent day Word revealed. The Bible did not say it before it happenedthat ‘the Old Testament saints would be resurrected and go intoJerusalem and be seen walking around here on earth alive again,’ butthey did. And they were seen of many! It was present day Word com-ing alive and living right before the eyes of the people; for it was theWord made manifested. They came forth; for they had a body takenfrom the earth by the present day Word! And today they are in God’sordained place of their paradise until the time comes for them to be-come visible again. We see them clearly in Revelation, Chapter 21, aspart of the city, New Jerusalem. We praise God for all His wonderfulworkings; for they are marvelous in our eyes!

So today, I want to read in the Book of 2 Peter, Chapter One, and I amjust going to read one verse, Verse 12, in order to get the words, presenttruth. It says, “Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remem-brance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the presenttruth.” Present truth is very important. I just want to get that word pres-ent, as we must stay in sync with present truth. That is where manypeople get a little confused about the Bible, especially Paul’s message,as he brought Word that was not written before he came on the sceneand spoke it. Let us have prayer before going any further to see wherethe Lord will take us.

Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you blessthe Word of God, bless us and anoint me to say the things that are pleasing inthy sight. Lord, help me to bring the things that your wife has need of to en-courage us and bless us. And, Lord, I thank you for taking us from truth totruth, and from revelation to revelation, which is going from glory to glory asChrist the wife. And now we are built up into the perfect man, the fullness ofChrist. And we praise you, Lord, because you are moving with your wife inthis hour. Amen.

Now notice the words present day truth. Present time. Again, the titleof the message is, Staying in Sync with Present Day Word. That meansthe old things, many times, have to give way to the new revelation forour day. Just like in the song that my wife, Barbarajean, wrote, Now theFormer Things Have All Passed Away, showing that the old things are nomore. And that fact alone condemns every denomination, and even theindependent churches, because they are locked in by their rules andregulations and they will not move on with this present day truth.

The Lord has always spoke present day Word to His people. Andwhen Paul went forth to preach the Word, his gospel grew as time dic-tated for it to grow. And the present day anointing always gives

185STAYING IN SYNC WITH THE PRESENT DAY WORD

present day Word. And some of the things that we had as new truthslast year has now become just part of history, because God has movedus on. And He does not destroy the Word that got us here. They arestepping stones that God used to get us to where we are at today. Paulbrought this in so clearly when he wrote to us about the Word that Godrevealed to him, showing him what he was to do. See, he was to go tothe Gentiles with the gospel of Christ and be a witness to the childrenof Israel. And we see as his message grew, how it reached over and in-cluded the Jews, also.

Now let us start with a little thought about Jesus. When He first beganto teach, He went to the Jews; for He said that He came to His own. Hesaid, “Salvation is of the Jews. I am only sent to the lost sheep of thehouse of Israel.” That was His present truth at the time. But as timepassed, He was rejected by the whole religious system. This was a goodthing for the Gentile world; for other nations began to be interested inwhat He had to offer. And gradually He reached out and brought somefrom the other nations to Himself—not forgetting the fact that His call-ing was to go to the Jews first, for He was born to be the King of theJews. He was the Son of David according to the flesh. But there wereother things to be fulfilled before He became the King of the Jews.

Many prophecies were fulfilled in our Lord Jesus Christ, starting withHis virgin birth. He was the Word made flesh then. And when He wasabout thirty years old, Christ came into Him when He was baptized byJohn at the River of Jordan. Please notice the fact that the Christ is nei-ther Jew nor Gentile, and that made the difference here. So now, afterChrist came into Him, He could go to both the Jews and the Gentilesalike in God’s great plan of redemption.

Now there was a reason for Paul’s message; he was to proclaim thisgreat truth to the Gentile world. So when the light struck him down onthe way to Damascus, he received his calling to introduce Christ to theGentiles; for Paul said, “I am the apostle to the Gentiles. I magnify mineoffice.” And he said, “I am the minister of Jesus Christ to you Gentiles.”And as we follow the story of Paul’s ministry, we begin to see why theJews rejected Jesus Christ, their King. For how else could the Word befulfilled of him being a light to the Gentiles? We see that many of theJews began to like what Paul was preaching. It was God in them lead-ing. And eventually, we find in the Book of Galatians, Chapter 3, andthe Book of Ephesians, Chapter 2, where Paul began to bring in some-thing new as the gospel began to grow, saying, “God has created a newman, and this man is neither Jew nor Gentile.” And from this time inGod’s kingdom there was an updated message that God anointed to bepreached by Paul and others as time passed.

186 WITH GOD A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

Now follow along with us as we begin to show how the gospel pro-gressed from the point of Paul just saying, “I am the apostle to the Gen-tiles.” Here we see how Christ Jesus used Paul to begin to reach out tothe Gentiles and give certain things to them, which helped them to seethat they had a part in the great plan of God, as well as did the Jewsthat believed Paul’s preaching. And now both the Jews and the Gentilesbegan to see the gospel in a new light as it grew into what God ordainedit to be for the present day. At first, Paul spoke as though he was strictlyto the Gentiles, but as he grew in his ministry, when the present dayWord came he now could begin to include both the Jews and the Gen-tiles in his message, now that he saw more of God’s perfect plan.

This is the same as it was with Jesus after He became the Christ. Andalthough He Himself was born to be the King of the Jews, when theJews rejected Him, then God began to bring the Word up to that presenttime. That is when Jesus Christ began to preach the present day Wordfor that time. He stayed in sync with the Word that was happeningthen. No longer could He go to the Jews and be their King, becausethey rejected Him, saying, “Let Him be crucified! Away with such a fel-low from the earth!” Until finally, through the Roman Government,they had Jesus crucified. They missed the fact that He came to be theirKing; for the Jews did not want Him, which made it easier for them tohave Him crucified.

See, Jesus was seen as a regular Jewish man by the Jewish society andthe religions of His day. He went to the synagogues; He went alongwith them and read the scriptures like the other Jews, as they wouldget up and read certain scriptures. This was His custom on the Sabbathuntil He was about thirty years old; but when He was baptized by John,the whole scenario changed. (Luke, Chapter 4) He began to preach andact in a different way, as He was staying in sync with what was prom-ised to be. The Jewish man, Jesus, was not only seen, but the Christ inHim was now shining forth in such a way that was causing Him to bedifferent. For we see many times how that Jesus expressed His Jewishthoughts and what He was as a Jew, but then we see the Christ shinethrough and go beyond what Jesus was saying.

Take for example the Gentile woman that came to Jesus asking forhelp for her daughter. He said, “The children’s bread is not for dogs.”But the woman said, “But the dogs desire the crumbs that fall from thetable.” And that is when the Christ spoke through Jesus and said, “Gothy way; thy daughter is made whole.” Then there was the Samaritanwoman at Jacob’s well, which Jesus said unto her, “Give me drink.”And all the woman saw was a Jewish man sitting on the wall of the well,and she said, “How is it that you being a Jew ask drink of me?” See,

187STAYING IN SYNC WITH THE PRESENT DAY WORD

He was a Jew, but only in the outer sense; and yes, He operated like aJew. But now we see the Christ move in and override His Jewish think-ing and bring the Word up to present day, because God was going toreach out and include the Gentiles. So Jesus answered the woman, say-ing, “If thou knew the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Giveme drink; thou would have asked of Him, and He would have giventhee living water.” And the woman said unto Him, “Sir, give me thiswater, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.” Christ was movingJesus into the present day Word. Now things had begun to change. Butthis was in a small way; for in God’s plan, Paul would be the man toshow Christ to the Gentile people.

In the Book of Romans, Chapter 15, Paul gave witness of the ministryof Jesus Christ. He says in Verse 8, “I say that Jesus Christ was a min-ister of the circumcision (the Jews) for the truth of God, to confirm thepromises made unto the fathers.” But the Christ that was in the Jewishman, Jesus, reached over to the Gentiles through the vessel of Paul tobring the grace of God to them. For Paul says in Verse 16, “That I shouldbe the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel ofGod, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, beingsanctified by the Holy Ghost.”

Now watch. Each one of these men, Jesus and Paul, showed us thatwe must grow in knowledge as God’s Word begins to fulfill itself andbecome up to date, present day Word. Paul said, “My job is to go to theGentiles; that is what Christ told me to do, to open their eyes, and turnthem from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God.”(Acts, Chapter 26) But then we can read in Acts, Chapter 15, where wefind there a group of saints in Antioch, which included some Jewish be-lievers that came to Paul’s service and worshipped God with them. Thatis when certain preachers came down from Juda and said, “These peo-ple cannot be saved unless they are circumcised and keep the law.”What these two preachers were saying troubled the saints very badly.And when Paul saw this, that is when he decided to go up to Jerusalemto see the other apostles. And when Paul arrived at Jerusalem, he toldthem that the Gentles did not have to be circumcised and keep the Lawof Moses; for they were under a new covenant. Even James and Peteradmitted this to be true. And after much disputing, that is when Peterrose up and said to them, “Why tempt ye God to put a yoke upon theneck of the Gentiles, which neither our fathers nor we were able tobear?” (Acts 15:10) So the conclusion was, “The Gentiles did not haveto be circumcised.” Notice the apostles were showing grace to the Gen-tiles, but they did not say that the Jews did not have to be circumcised.These Jews were keeping part of the law, but they were also talking

about and trying to live in the grace of God without totally submittingto what Paul was preaching, and even that fit into God’s plan, becausethey were not part of the espoused virgin unless they heard and fol-lowed Paul’s message of ‘ye are saved by grace without the works ofthe law.’ And only the elected could do that as God gave them the rev-elation of the espoused virgin waiting for the marriage that has takenplace in our day.

Then it was not long until there were Jews that began to come to Paul’smessage of ‘grace without the works of the law,’ and Paul began to seea new group come into being. But at first, there were two groups, andthe Jews did not want much to do with the Gentiles, and the Gentilesdid not understand the body of Christ at this time, and their fellowshipwith one another was hindered. But at last, Paul’s message fixed that.We see the minds of both the Jews and the Gentiles reflected when Jesuswas talking to the woman at Jacob’s well in our story. For the womansaid at the well—“How is it you being a Jew ask drink of me, who ama Samaritan?” In other words, they were two separate groups of people.But then the Word moved into present day Word, and before thatwoman left the well, she realized there was more to that man than metthe eye. So she said, “Sir, I perceive you are a prophet. When the Mes-siah comes, will He not do these things?” Jesus said, “I that speak tothee am He.” And she left her water pot and went into the city and tes-tified, “Come see a man that told me all which I have done, is this notthe Christ?” And the men came out to see Jesus Christ, and many be-lieved on Him. See, the plan of God was that salvation be extended toboth the Jews and the Gentiles. This plan was in God’s mind from thebeginning, and was being fulfilled.

So God’s plan began to become more clearly seen as the Word grewand multiplied; and now when Paul went to preach the Word, he didnot have to carry the Old Testament scrolls, for he had the Word in him,and Paul was in Him who was the Word. He had the one that wrotethe Word in him; and many times, the message that he preached wasnot written in the Bible. The point being here is that now many of thecongregations were made up of both Jews and Gentiles, so when therewere questions that arose concerning the Law of Moses and how it fitinto the new covenant, Paul had a present day answer. Yes, he broughtthe Word up to the present truth, saying that his message had brokendown the middle wall of partition between the Jews and the Gentiles,creating one new man, thus making peace. (Ephesians, Chapter 2)

So now here at the end time, we have come through all the churchages with their messengers, which includes Brother William Branham’smessage, who was a prophet of God that preached present day Word

189STAYING IN SYNC WITH THE PRESENT DAY WORD

in his day and in his time. Here is where we are going to get to wherewe are living today. In Brother Branham’s present day Word, he spear-headed a great deliverance move where tens of thousands of peoplecame out, there were long prayer lines, and many were healed; suchmarvelous things took place. But God has kept moving His Word upto this present day Word, and now that is where the life is manifestingitself. If we stay in sync with what God is doing in the present, as didBrother Branham in his age, we will keep moving in revelation as Godreveals it to us.

So after that age ended, God moved us on in His Word, into this lasttrumpet of God that is sounding. And now, as this trumpet is sounding,this message is putting flesh and bones on those theophanies that diedin the faith being part of the wife. Now I want you to watch; we arestaying in sync with present day Word, the promise for this day, afterthe church ages are over, and after Christ came back (and I am not talk-ing about Jesus here: I am talking about the Christ shown in Revelation,Chapter 10) and we were baptized into the fullness of His body. So weneed to know what the promise is for us, and then stay in sync withthat part of the Word; otherwise, we are just playing church.

We find in our part of the Word of God that Christ brought back withHim those that are part of the wife that have died in the Lord. And inthis present day, the trumpet message is putting flesh and bones onthose theophanies which clothes them in fine linen, clean and white.These are part of wife of the Lamb. Paul wrote about these saints in theBook of 2 Corinthians, Chapter 5, “For we know that if our earthlyhouse of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, ahouse not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” And when Christcame, He brought all these spirits (souls) with Him. This is in the Bookof 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14, it shows that God sent them with Christ.

So Christ is in the earth with His wife, and even those souls of themthat have gone on before us by the way of death, they are here, too. Andthis trumpet message is putting Word flesh on them, just as we havebecome Word made flesh, as we have received the revelation of theWord that is glorifying us. And also, those saints that have gone on be-fore, they are hearing the same trumpet, and they are to come forth firstwith glorified Word bodies. Their body, that Word body, is being builtby this Word we preach. That is why the souls of our departed brothersand sisters were brought into this present day of the sounding of thislast trumpet. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) That includes Brother Branham,Brother Raymond Jackson, and all the other saints that are part of thewife of the Lamb. They are receiving the Word that I am preaching,while their followers are saying it is not right and staying back there in

that past age. They are trying to get life from a passed age message thatno longer has life in it, and many of them knoweth it not. Therefore,this message of the trumpet sounding has no effect on them, while thismessage of present day Word builds the Word body of those that arereceiving it.

Now many people think that there is going to be a big change in thesoul. No, while they lived here, their soul was formed, which was theircharacter, their personality, and they had the nature of Christ for theirday, which will be in their glorified body. And when they died, theirbody went into the earth; but that did not change their soul. Those at-tributes are built into their soul as a permanent part of that soul and thenew body does not change that. And in the resurrection, the only thingthis message does is put Word flesh bodies on those souls and they be-come visible. That is what is taking place today; and this is staying insync with present day truth.

Present day truth for saints in past ages has been that they will havea resurrection. And that is truth for most people today. But for the wifewho is in sync with the present day Word, there is not a resurrectionpromised for us, because we are going to be changed without going tothe grave. For the Word says, “We which are alive and remain ‘whenthe trumpet sounds, when this present day Word message goes forthas it is now in real time,’ we shall be changed in a moment, in the twin-kling of an eye.” It does not say that we, that are now living, will beraised from the dead. This only applies to the part of the wife that werebaptized for the dead in other ages. Yes, God will resurrect them andthey will be seen amongst us. For their soul, which contains their per-sonal attributes, will take on the Word body.

God let Brother Branham go over to where the theophanies were. Andwhen he went over there, he met people; some of them he knew andsome of them he had not met here. In one case, a lady came up to him,and she said, “God bless you, Brother Branham! We are so happy tosee you!” And the angel of the Lord that was talking to him asked, “Doyou know her?” He said, “No. I do not believe I do.” And the angelsaid, “She was past ninety when you led her to the Lord.” Brother Bran-ham said that beautiful young lady looked to be about twenty-two yearsold, just as happy as could be. And he asked the angel, in amazement,“That woman was past ninety when I led her to the Lord?” The angelsaid, “Yes. This is her soul; this is her theophany.” The thing is, we be-come young again. There are no old people resurrected as old people.Because they will be young and in the prime of life. They will comeforth with a new Word body, although it is the same person that wentto the grave. That is because that soul had its own nature when the per-

191STAYING IN SYNC WITH THE PRESENT DAY WORD

son died, it just took on the Word body, because the earth itself is madefrom Word. The Book of Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we under-stand that the worlds were framed (formed) by the Word of God, so thatthings which are seen were not made of things which do appear,” mean-ing they were created by the Word of God. So if our body comes fromthe earth, it is that Word made flesh among us coming forth. We preachthis present day Word, and as they take that Word, it builds that fleshon their souls, just as the Word is changing us.

In the Book of 2 Corinthians, Chapter 3, it says that we are changedfrom glory to glory into His very image. Now the wife is a people thatare in His image, by the fact of being a member of the body of Christand already married to God’s Son by a proxy marriage. The Word ofGod says in the Book of Ephesians 4:13, that this is the stature of thefullness of Christ. And we have been baptized into the fullness and areclothed in fine linen, clean and white. (Revelation 19:7-8) It is the rev-elation of the preached Word that puts flesh on your bones. The Biblesays this Word is marrow to our bones and health to our flesh.(Proverbs 8:8, 16:24) It is the Word of God that does it. This Word cre-ates flesh and bone. It is clear to us now, that by revelation the soulfrom that body which went down in death, already had godly attributesbuilt within it. And it was just like God ordained it to be before theworld was. That is why when Brother Branham went over there towhere they were, he did not see people in wheel chairs, crippled up.No, he said as far as he could see, people there were perfect, and theywere running up to him saying, “God bless you, brother! We are soglad to see you!” What God does, He sends that Word to put flesh andbone together on that soul, that house that was reserved in heaven. Andthat is taking place now. We are staying in sync with present day Word.

We are doing like Paul did, as he followed on to do the will of God bystaying in sync with the message that was relevant for the hour that hewas in. I preached a message sometime back about being relevant; IsOur Gospel Relevant for the Time We Are In, or Has it Become a Relic of thePast?, which is a chapter in our book, The Gospel for the Wife in Israel.Many people today are saying, “Brother Branham said this, and he saidthat.” They read in his books and they want to stay with that, withoutmoving on, thus causing their understanding of his message to becomea relic of the past to them, because they stopped with it, when there issomething new going forth and they cannot see it. Christ is in the earthputting flesh and bones on those souls, those that He brought back withHim. So now Brother Branham is shouting the victory as I preach thismessage, and he has received it one hundred percent; while the follow-ers of his message deny it and will not have anything to do with it. This

Word, this message, is the trumpet sounding; and it is putting flesh andbones on those spirits—because the trumpet shall sound and the deadin Christ shall rise first. They rise (become visible) because they hearthe trumpet sounding. Otherwise, it would not say, “The trumpetsounds.” For a sound will be heard, and they hear, because they arenot dead; they are alive! They never did die. Jesus said, “He that be-lieves upon me shall never die.” And that is a true statement. That souldid not die; it was developed in the body that it was living in, and thenat the time of the death of the body, the soul departed the body, for it iseternal. So the soul is still alive that accepts Jesus Christ.

When a person that is born again dies (sleeps), they have a spiritualbody within them, as their natural body goes back to the earth fromwhence it came, regardless of how it goes back into the earth (burned,lost in the sea, buried, etc.). Because that earthly body is made of theearth; it is made of the Word which spoke the earth into existence. Thatis the reason the wife of the Lord Jesus comes from the message (the ribfrom our Lord Jesus) that gives us a Word body in its purest form of theWord, not directly from the earth, but the refined Word of God’s onlybegotten Son (Ephesians 5:30-32). It is a part of that Word Gabriel gaveto a virgin named Mary, which was a part of that special Word thatGod’s Son was created from—Jesus, the Word made flesh.

So the wife of the Lamb hears this Word in this hour, which createsWord bodies exclusively for us. All others that are born again will comeforth as God ordained. This is shown in Revelation, Chapter 20, at thetime we come back to earth with our Husband and King. Now we arebone of ‘His bone’ and flesh of ‘His flesh.’ Both the living and the deadhear a message! Glory to God! I said sometime back, “They are movingaround now.” We see a similar happening in the natural realm, con-cerning the valley of dry bones, when God brought Israel back to theirhomeland in Ezekiel, Chapter 37. This happened in a vision, showingEzekiel as he prophesied to them, and everything he said to the bones,they did. God asked, “Can these bones live again?” And He toldEzekiel, “Prophesy to these bones.” And as he prophesied to them, thebones began to come together. And when the bones began to come to-gether, there was a great noise. I say unto you, there is shouting amongthe saints now, both we that are alive and those that have gone on!There is Brother Branham, along with the other church age messengers(including Paul); then there is Brother Jackson, an apostle who was notone of the seven church age messengers that brought much revelation,including Israel’s place as shown under the second part of the fifthseal—these, along with all the saints who were in sync with the livingWord that they brought, are all saying, “Listen at that! I hear the trum-

pet sounding! This is putting flesh and bones upon our spirits. We arebeing changed into bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh!” And thisis because they already had the godly attributes in them when theywent down! Amen

These are great things that God is doing through the Word in thishour. So good! So wonderful! So beautiful! He does everything byHis Word. And now this present day Word is saying, “Brother Branhamis just shouting the victory; while the churches that claim to follow himare saying, ‘Brother Branham said this. Brother Branham said that. Inthis book it says this. In that book it says that.’” They will not movefrom that message of the days before, even if Brother Branham toldthem, “Move on up! Can you not hear the trumpet sounding? Can younot hear the Word? Move on up and get in!” See, they would not haveit, even if one rose from the dead to tell them, because they would ratherstay in their traditions. They feel safe there. And why would they feelsafe there? Because they do not have to change, because the truth makesthem feel uncomfortable, so they ignore it as a better option. For theyhave made a relic out of the Word that he preached. Just like Jesus said,“You polish the tombs of the prophets and talk about how good theywere.” Then He said, “Yet, you are the ones that put them in thetombs!” There are people today that polish Brother Branham’s tomb,but when this Word comes, which is bringing him out and putting fleshand bones on his soul, they will not have it.

Now the title of my message is, Staying in Sync with the Present DayWord. What is the present day Word? It is the now Word that says thatwe do not have to go by the way of the grave. Here is a message thatraptures us. This message has swept us out of the natural life and trans-lated us into the fullness of Christ—that is when Christ came and Hebrought those spirits with Him. Glory to God! And this last trump ofGod message has penetrated the veil between life and death, and it isputting flesh and bones on them, and they can appear among us when-ever God desires, as we are changed in a moment, in the twinkling ofan eye, into a Word body like unto the glorious body of the Lord JesusChrist. Now that is staying in sync with the present day Word!

So now the wife of the Lamb is speaking unspeakable words in thispresent day Word. Yes, here is a ministry, and all of the members of thebody of Christ are part of it; for God deals with us all. God gives us allrevelation. He gave different gifts to different people, and we encour-age and edify one another. And one of the greatest messages that wehave preached is entitled, Being Edified by being the Edifier. In otherwords, when you edify someone, you get to feeling good yourself!Being edified by being the edifier is taking place inside the fullness of

the body of Christ. That is staying in sync with the present day Word;knowing that we are part of one another, knowing that there is no bigI’s, and that we all are part of the same body—and knowing that wehave come beyond the period of Brother Branham, and that we havecome beyond the period of Brother Jackson, and beyond the time of thetaking and eating up the little book of Revelation, Chapter 10. And weare in the sounding of the trumpet and are proclaiming this message ofa promise made is a promise kept. And Brother Branham, and BrotherJackson, and all those others are hearing it; and this message is puttingflesh and bones on their spirits (souls). Amen. And soon they are goingto walk right among us and we will see them, we will hear them, andwe will know them.

There is so much I could say on staying in sync with present dayWord. Do you see the importance of it? There is no going back to justsaying, “Brother Branham said.” There is no going back and just saying,“Brother Jackson said.” You have to be in sync with present day Wordthat has taken on His flesh and bones, because this message is puttingWord flesh on the souls that have gone on, and it is changing the mortalbodies of the living that are waiting to see them appear.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for your love, goodness, and mercy, and foryour great grace that is going forth in this hour. And we pray that you willtake these words and use them for your glory. And help each one of us as youdid the two disciples on the way to Emmaus, when you opened their eyes—forwhen you opened their eyes they saw. May this message do that for those thathave been on their way to Emmaus, may their eyes be opened that they realize,“This is it. Here we are. This is the message of bone of His bone and flesh ofHis flesh. It is the present day Word.” We ask these things in the name of ourLord Jesus Christ. Amen

THE LORD IS PUTTING FLESH AND BONESON THEOPHAINES IN THIS LAST DAY

Teeth Wrote in the Side of the Mountain,The Authority of the Word

Today I want to speak on, The Lord Is Putting Flesh and Bones on theTheophanies in This Last Day. This message of the last trumpet of Godbrings on the resurrection for the departed saints that are part of theSon’s wife. This message also changes our flesh and bones into glorifi-cation as we, the living, are changed from glory to glory into His veryimage. And many times in the Old Testament there are things that aresaid or shown in type (a picture). And there is such a picture in theBook of Ezekiel, Chapter 37, and we will begin our reading there. Butlet us have a word of prayer before reading.

Heavenly Father, we praise you and thank you for your wonderful Word; notonly for the written Word, because you said, “My Words, they are Spirit andthey are life,” which is the spoken Word. And you are the Word. And whereveryou are, the Word is there. Lord, we know that you are in us, and we are inyou. We are in your presence, Lord, and we are part of that special part of theWord that was with the Father from the beginning. And I pray that you willhelp us to move right into your perfect will for the glory of God, in the name ofour Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Now here in Ezekiel, Chapter 37, is a great story about a valley of drybones. And I want to say this before reading: This is a type and aprophecy of Israel being brought back to their homeland and being re-established in their land. And God used a valley of dry bones to showthe restoration of Israel. So by this knowledge of God’s working, weglean from this prophecy things that help us to understand Paul’sprophecies in the New Testament.

When we read about Ezekiel, we find he was a contemporary prophetwith Daniel; for they were both brought into captivity from Jerusalemto Babylon. Daniel was brought with the first deportation; and Ezekielfollowed along later. So the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Danielwere written from Babylon. When we read the Book of Daniel and theBook of Ezekiel, we see that each prophet explained different parts ofthe Word and prophesied about different things. For Ezekiel’s prophe-cies were to all Israel and their restoration, whereas Daniel’s propheciesshow Israel, along with the Gentile world powers, such as the tenhorned beast, which was the Roman Empire. And he was seeing it be-fore it ever started. Then much later, in the New Testament, John saw

the same Roman Empire in its completion. For John was picked up inthe Spirit and set on the fulfillment side of Daniel’s prophecy and sawit in its fullness, and he wrote it down in the Book of Revelation.

I look at the Book of Daniel as the Book of Revelation of the Old Tes-tament. As I mentioned earlier, Ezekiel was in Babylon, and he proph-esied about all the tribes of Israel and how they would be restored atthe end time; and this prophecy is nearing fulfillment in this very day.Both prophets prophesied about different events that was to take place.It was Daniel who showed us what would happen in the Gentile worldas well as showing Israel’s place. Daniel also showed us what wouldbe from that day and onward, even up unto the very end of the millen-nial reign, with much emphasis on the four beasts representing the fourGentile kingdoms that would rule the world of the Gentiles. And theywere already in the making, starting with the Babylonian Kingdom inDaniel’s day. So Daniel’s prophecy was showing how all of this affectedIsrael, whereas the prophet Ezekiel showed the restoration of Israel forthe most part. So I say, it is amazing, wonderful, and exciting, how Godused these two prophets who were in Babylon at about the same timeand how they dealt with different parts of God’s Word. In the past age,it was said that God had only one prophet on the scene at any one time,but when we check that with the Word, that does not hold true in manycases. Although it is true that God usually had only one prophet at oneplace, but here are two prophets both on the scene at the same time andin the same place. So with this understanding, we begin our readingtoday.

So in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 37, Verses 1-2, Ezekiel says, “Thehand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD,and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And causedme to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the openvalley; and, lo, they were very dry.” They had no life in them at all. Thiswas just like when the wagon trains and the cattle drives would goWestward in the United States in days gone by. Many times the travel-ers would find old skeletons of buffalos and cattle laying there on thetrails with the horns still on their heads, dried out from the sun andwind, that had turned white because they were so dry. Today there aremany people that like to collect those dried out heads. Well, here in thisvision that Ezekiel was having, these bones were very dry. In otherwords, there was no life at all about these bones. Verse 3, “And he (God)said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live?” Now that was a question.Can these bones live again? No, in the realm of human thinking it wasimpossible for them to live again. But with God all things are possible.

with the flesh falling off their bones. According to the law, when anyonecame near them, the lepers had to cry, “Unclean, unclean!” And thatwould give everyone a chance to get away from them, because leprosywas contagious. But when Jesus came, He did not let the law stop Him.The lepers cried, “Unclean, unclean!” But He just kept coming towardsthem. What a sight that must have been as those lepers cried out whenthey saw Him coming towards them. But Jesus spoke the Word, “Bethou cleansed!” And each one of them was healed; the old skin wasgone, and they had brand new skin! They were made new standingthere. Of course, we know that only two of them turned back aroundto thank Jesus and praise God; while the others immediately went ontheir way and did not even thank the Lord. The condition of these menwas hopeless; it was impossible for them to be healed of this horribledisease. Likewise, these bones that Ezekiel was seeing, for them to liveagain, according to man, would be impossible! So when the Lord Godasked Ezekiel, “Can these bones live again?” Let us see what Ezekielsays. “And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.” See, God was askingthe question, “Is there anything too hard for God?” Now this is a totallyimpossible situation in the human realm. But when we get into the spir-itual workings of God, it goes far beyond the human realm. When Godworks His supernatural power, it is so miraculous! And we could takeso many stories (testimonies) about these things.

I love the story of Samson. Even though he did not always do whatwas proper in the natural realm, God used him to show His power. Andwhen the Spirit of God would come upon him, there was nothing tooheavy for him to pick up and carry on his shoulders. He could pick upgreat brass gates from the city and lay them upon his shoulder and walkoff with them. No one could tie him down with anything; for he wouldjust break loose. He had mighty power when the anointing was uponhim. He caught a lion and just ripped it apart. There was no limit tohis strength under God’s anointing. For when God is doing something,there is no limit to what God can do; and that is where God’s peoplebase their faith.

Many times we might want to speak about what we can do or whatwe cannot do. But we are learning more every day that God specializesin things thought impossible. It is impossible for a sea to open up andlet a couple of million people and cattle and other animals walk throughon dry ground, but it happened. God raised up Moses and sent him tothe land of Egypt to bring deliverance to the children of Israel, and bythe power of God, Moses brought them out of Egyptian bondage. Andwhen the soldiers of Egypt saw what had happened, they followed afterthem, because they did not want to let their slave labor escape, therefore

they drowned; for the walls of the sea caved in on them and many ofthem later were seen washed up on the shore. See, you cannot imper-sonate what God is doing. God did it for Israel; for He brought themout with a mighty hand. See, when you are dealing with God, you donot even take into consideration what is possible and what is not pos-sible. You take one thing into consideration, and that is what the Wordsays. The Word of God cannot fail; it is forever settled in heaven. I amnot just talking about what is written in the Bible, I am talking aboutthe living, walking, talking, and breathing Word. Hallelujah! That iswhat Jesus was, and His wife is the same.

Remember when Jesus came, the Pharisees and Sadducees began tosay, “Moses said this,” and “Moses said that.” But Jesus said unto them,“Moses said that; but I say unto you.” But until Christ came into Him,He did not do any miracles; He was a carpenter. And as a carpenter,He found favor with God and man; for everyone liked the carpenter,Jesus. But once Christ came into Jesus, He began to tell them what kindof spirit they were operating by, which was the spirit of iniquity, thespirit of the antichrist. It looked so real, so much like the real thing; andby the letter of the Word, they could take it and use it to serve their ownpurpose without having a revelation of it. But the letter of the Wordalone will kill; for it takes the anointing to make the Word get up out ofthe pages of the written Word and walk.

Now watch this Word in Ezekiel, Chapter 37, Verse 4, “Again he saidunto me, Prophesy upon these bones,” Now let us go in our thinking toRevelation, Chapter 10, to the very last verse in that chapter. (We havea book concerning this chapter, entitled, The Chronicles of the Tenth Chap-ter of the Book of Revelation and the Eating of a Bitter Meal, showing thatwe have already come through Revelation, Chapter 10, and fulfilled itscontent.) There we see that the last thing the angel told us in this chap-ter was to go forth and prophesy. (We see that it was the prophecy ofEzekiel that raised those bones up and put flesh on them and causedthem to live again. That was prophecy in a symbolic happening, whichwas the regathering of Israel to their homeland.) But our prophecy isthe living Word in action. So the dead are going to raise up; those thatare already gone, which includes Brother William Branham, and all ofthose church age messengers, along with the saints that heard their mes-sage in their day. They are part of the wife of the Lamb. This trumpetmessage is putting flesh and bones on those theophanies, those souls;and that creates the resurrection of the wife members that manifestedthe Word in their particular age.

In the days when Paul was living upon this earth and spoke, he in-formed us that he was caught up into heaven, to the place where the

departed souls were abiding. And in that place, which he called thethird heaven, he saw the souls (theophanies) of the saints that had goneon that are a part of the wife of the Lamb. And they were waiting forthe time when the Lord would come Himself, as shown in the Book of1 Thessalonians, Chapter 4. It is here that the Word says that God willsend them with Him (with the Christ). And when He came to earth,He brought those theophanies, those souls, with Him that were mem-bers of the wife. He brought them with Him for a purpose, and thatwas to put flesh and bones on their souls. And this prophecy is not writ-ten until it is spoken. That is the way that God does this, as recorded inVerse 11 of Revelation, Chapter 10.

We read what Paul said in the Book of 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, aboutthe changing of our body, and it was written after it had been spoken.So here again, we see the spoken Word is the original seed Word. Thewriting of it is after it is spoken. And so we read about what Peter did,but only after the job was done. And what Jesus did, we read aboutthat after He did it. And while He was doing it, it was just the pure ‘liv-ing life’ Word—the living, walking and talking Word. Because in thebeginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Wordwas God. And the Word was made flesh; that is why it was that living,walking and talking Word. And once that living Word got anointed byChrist, as Christ entered into Jesus the Word made flesh when He wasbaptized by John in the River of Jordan, there was nothing that couldstand before Him. If there was someone blind, He just said, “Receiveyour sight.” Once He spit on the ground and made clay with His spittleand rubbed it on a man’s eyes. The religious people did not like that;but it was God’s anointed Word living here in a human body, walkingand talking.

In the Book of Luke 7:11-18, a woman was taking her son to bury him.She had no other family and no way to make a living; she had nothingleft. On the way to bury the body, Jesus saw the mother crying and Hehad compassion on her, and He stopped the funeral procession and said,“Arise!” The young man raised up and began to talk to them. See, thereis nothing impossible with God! And there is nothing impossible withGod concerning these things that we are dealing with when we are talk-ing about those souls of just men. For the Bible says in the Book of He-brews, Chapter 12, that we came to the place where the angels are andto the spirits of just men made perfect, made complete. Please keep inmind here that I am only speaking of the spirits of those that are the wifeof the Lamb that have come into view in this day of the sounding of thislast trumpet of God message. So those that have gone on before us, whoare members of the wife, they are made complete by this message.

The Word of God says, “They that are in the grave are going to hearthe voice of the Son of God.” Well, there is nothing in the grave thatcan hear a voice. But now this message has brought the light on howthis is done—for the souls hear this Word; because the dust could nothear a voice. But those spirits that Christ Jesus brought with Him, hearthis Word which is putting Word flesh and bones on them, just like Jesusdid the ten lepers when He said, “Be thou cleansed,” and immediatelyHis Word put new flesh on them!

Think about this, “Can these bones live again?” And the first thingGod told Ezekiel was, “Prophesy unto them.” If a prophecy is of God,it brings results every time. Everything that God promised, it came topass just like He said it would; even the great message of the openingof the seven seals and the church ages. And after the fulfillment ofthem, Christ brought the little book down to us, which was the Wordfor the changing of our mortal bodies. And now the little book doesnot exist anymore in that form; for we ate it up and now we are whatthe little book was. And it has become flesh and bones; for we had toeat the little book up in order to take possession of eternal life for theredemption of the body.

Now compare that with what Jesus said, “Except you eat my fleshand drink my blood, you have no part with me.” Now it is Christ thewife saying, “Except you eat by revelation this trumpet of God messagethat has now become our flesh and bones, you cannot be a member ofthe wife of God’s Son.” I am saying this with the understanding thatno one can hear and receive this message unless it was in them to beginwith. Hearing this message, accepting this message, that is eating ourflesh and drinking our blood; and when they do this, they become partof us, a member of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. Notice, noone can take the little book again in that form shown in Revelation,Chapter 10, because we took possession of it and ate it up. That wouldbe like Moses smiting (striking) the rock a second time. We have al-ready eaten up the little book; and it was sweet in our mouth but bitterin our bellies, until we digested it and became the Word that it con-tained. And now we are authorized to speak for our Lord Jesus Christto the living and to the dead.

Remember the message, Come Without Money and Come Without Price,where the children of Israel came through the wilderness into the land,and they did not have to build their houses nor plant their own vine-yards nor dig their own wells. For God sent the hornets and drove theinhabitants out as He brought Israel into the land that He gave to Abra-ham and to His seed. And that was one battle that they did not have tofight. This is written in the Book of Deuteronomy 6:10-11 and the Book

of Joshua 24:12-13, which showed that God gave them houses that werefilled with good things. In other words, He did not tell them to go tothe city dump and get all the things that people had discarded that wasnot useable anymore. No, it was good things. If God gives us some-thing, it is going to be good things. Here I am talking spiritually; it isthe best there is. God has given us a house filled with good things.There are such wonderful gifts and the fruits of the Spirit, and so manyrevelations that it just built a house filled with good things. And no onecomes into this house unless they are ordained and come by revelation.

This prophetic Word that we are entrusted with is living Word and itis unbound and walking in the earth in flesh and bones. It is not justmaking a speech and showing everyone how many scriptures we canread. Anyone can get a Concordance or some other type of a Bible dic-tionary or go to the internet, where they can get all the scriptures thatpertain to a certain subject. But the point here is, I can get every scrip-ture which relates to a subject, and I can write them down and get upand read them to you and you might say, “Brother Howard put that to-gether good for us today.” Well, when I got it put together, what did Ihave? A dead letter of the Word, unless by the mind of Christ I tookthat Word and made it get up and walk and talk. And when it doesthat, we do not need to get every scripture that speaks of a certain sub-ject in the Bible, because that does not make the Word get up and walkand talk; and other than that happening, it is the dead letter of the Word.Paul spoke to the people that he was preaching to in 2 Corinthians,Chapter 3, and he said, “Ye are the epistles of Christ.” And he toldthem, “Just the letter of the Word will kill you; but the Spirit will giveyou life.” The life is in the Spirit, not in the letter of the Word. The onlything the letter of the Word will do is kill you, because you will get ahead full of knowledge and get puffed up. How much you know orhow much you do not know is not a determining factor in how muchrevelation one has. If you know the Lord Jesus Christ, then you areblessed. If you are walking in the light of the Word, then He will takeyou to the right scripture. He will take you to the scriptures and Godwill make it come alive for you.

A few weeks back, I preached a message entitled, When Is the Bible theLiving Word and Not Just the Book of Knowledge? The answer is that whenthe light strikes a certain part of the Word, that makes it come alive, andit lives. Then there is no force on earth, or anywhere else, that can stopor hinder that part of the Word from coming forth and walking the earthunbound. The Word is walking and talking, and that is living Wordthat is putting flesh and bones on those that have gone on before us, asit also changes our bodies into glorification.

So now it is resurrection time and those spirits have taken on thoseattributes that the actual person had in them, because the soul possessedthem while living their lives prior to their departing from this life. Sothey will be in that resurrected person in full perfection of what the per-son was to be and fit perfectly into God’s plan for the wife. Yes, it willbe the person in a perfected form. Actually, He builds a Word body.See, the Word body is the only thing that is glorified. John writes in theBook of 1 John 3:1-2, “We shall have a body like unto His own gloriousbody.” And His body is a Word body. And that is the body that wehave. That is why you will notice that I put much emphasis on theWord; not just the Bible, but I am talking about the living Word. I amtalking about the part of the Bible that is living Word that is breathing,walking, and talking. There is much of the Bible that we cannot causeto get up, walk, talk, and live; because it has already been fulfilled, or isyet to be fulfilled. Much of the Bible is written in symbolical ways; butthe wife likes it this way and we always get it right, because this lasttrumpet rightly divides the Word of God.

Here is a message that has come forth that is putting flesh and boneson those souls that Christ Jesus brought to this earth with Him. Thisliving Word is the flesh and bones; for we are bone of His bone and fleshof His flesh. (Ephesians 5:30-32) God told Ezekiel, “Prophesy to thesebones.” Well, He told us, as we were leaving Revelation, Chapter 10, toprophesy. And that is what we are doing and have been doing. There-fore, the oath for confirmation was the end of all strife in the marriageof the Lamb; and we are one flesh in speaking the living Word. That isnot reading the Bible; because reading the Bible is not prophesying.

Remember the Bible tells us, “The trump of God shall sound, and thedead in Christ shall come forth in new bodies created from this Word;”and yes, they become visible. And now this Word is fulfilled as it hasbecome living Word. Now the mystery of ‘the spirits of just men aremade perfect’ is revealed in the wife, as the members that went on aheadof us take on flesh and bones. This means that they received what theyneeded to come forth and be visible again. And then we, the living, willbe changed. And our bodies are going to be young again in glorifica-tion. Now we all can shout and rejoice together as the whole body ofChrist, the wife of the Lamb.

Now there is a scripture in the Book of John, and it says, “When theywanted to go over to the other side of the shore, they got in the boat andimmediately they were on the other side.” I do not know how far itwas; and it does not matter, because as soon as they got in that boat,they were on the other side. Just like Philip when he was preaching toa Eunuch in the desert, when he finished his ministering there, the Bible

says, “He was caught up by the Spirit of God and was found over inanother city preaching the Word.” That is our God! That is the one thatI am serving. That is what I am talking about—the living, breathing,talking Word. And this living Word in us is the only thing we need, todo what God has ordained for us.

There were many wonderful workings that God did through Paul, toomany to mention; and it was many years later that they were writtenabout. And by the time they were recorded, the Spirit of God was al-ready moving by the revelation of the Word into other things thatwould be written about afterwards. This being the case, we can lookback and see what happened with those that went before us. So howwonderful it is to know that God is an ever present help in time of need.This is why we must have an up to date revelation.

Last week I spoke on a message entitled, Staying in Sync With the Pres-ent Day Word, in which I let it be known that this is more than just goingback to what Paul said and repeating what he said. Because what Paulsaid, his espousal message, was not enough to physically translate them,because it was not the greater. Paul was pressing for the prize of thehigh calling but did not see it in his day. Many times what was said inanother age does not help us when it comes to what God is doing now.For He is a God that is an ever present source. I say this because manytimes what we read about has already happened, and Paul has alreadygone home. Luke kept notes and wrote down much of what happened.When we read the Book of Luke (who was not one of the twelve apos-tles), we read it after the fact. I am not sure that he ever saw Jesus; be-cause Jesus never did go very far from where He was born. He was nota traveling preacher; He would just visit the villages and towns, becausethat is what God told Him to do—to go to Israel. Jesus Christ was aminister to the circumcision (the Jews). But not Paul, he hit the road;he took wings and went to all the Gentile places—Corinth and manyother places. And when he got over into Corinth, God wrought specialmiracles by his hands. He could not pray for everyone; so handker-chiefs were taken from his body and laid on people and devils came outof them, and those that were sick got well. That is the living, talkingWord. Now you can do some of the things that Paul did, but unless itis God leading you, you probably will not get the same results. BecauseGod does not always want us to do something just because someoneelse did; but He can inspire us in what to do in our present situation.That was the only time that it was said that Paul sent handkerchiefs andclothes and had them put on sick people and they were made whole.Yes, people have done the same thing ever since that time, and it hasworked in some cases. But for the most part, nothing happened unless

there was the same inspiration. But the point here is that God is real tous, and He deals with us according to His will for this day. He alwaysgives us what is needed for victory in the day we are living in.

Here I want to bring in a dream, and it was so real that I could not tellif it was a dream or a vision. In it, I was coming down a road with someother saints of God and it was beside a huge mountain, similar to Pike’sPeak that we have in the United States. The road was on the side of themountain and there was very little room. In one section, the road hadtotally and completely broke loose from the mountain and fell off intothe valley below, thus leaving a big gap, and no one could get through.And there were godly people waiting, and they had gone as far as theycould go, and it was impossible to get passed the big gap in the road,and it was obvious they could not go on. And they all looked very per-plexed; for they did not know what to do. As I looked at this impasse(the place where the break had begun), I noticed the word ‘TEETH’wrote in the side of the mountain. And a voice said, “Remember whereyou start from,” and it said ‘TEETH.’ Teeth means authority. And sud-denly I began to reach into the air, it seemed, and get big boulders(stones) as they would appear. The Spirit of the Lord came upon me ina mighty way, and I grabbed those big stones up, and they were hugestones, boulders, solid stones that were cut in such a way that theywould fit perfectly together, and I began to slam them together. Andthe stones began to make a great noise. These stones did not becomevisible until I needed them; but they just kept coming. And when I fin-ished placing the stones, the break in the road was made perfect andwe were able to reach our destiny with ease, showing that God’s Wordis the authority. God has put teeth into the living Word, and now weare shouting the victory again!

Now that makes one think about what happened when the prophetbegan to prophesy to those bones; they began to make noise. Comparethis with the spirits (souls) that have now begun to make noise. Theyare shouting, they are talking, they are saying, “Our time of deliverancehas come!” They are taking on flesh and bones to appear visibility be-fore us in this day and hour. This includes Brother William Branham,Brother Raymond Jackson, and all those others that are part of the wifeof God’s Son who went by the way of death.

Now consider this. There are those that hate this last trumpet mes-sage, while claiming that they are following those that brought theirmessage and have gone on, such as Brother Braham and Brother Jack-son, and even Paul. And we all are saying, “How is it, you cannot be-lieve?” Like Jesus said to the Pharisees, “You polish the tombs of theprophets, but you are the ones that put them in.” And they said, “If we

would have been there, we would not have killed the prophets.” Jesussaid, “But you have the same spirit.” And now here is a Word goingforth—I slammed those stones together and made a smooth road to goright on through. And that is this message, this Word—big boulderscoming together, with boldness, standing firm on the Word. And it hasmade a way for those that are the wife of the Lamb, for those that Godanoints to walk on this road. Yes, God has put teeth in His living Word.Amen! I am talking worldwide here; for Jesus Christ, the same yester-day, today, and forever, is here now through His wife and is now put-ting flesh and bones on the souls of them that have gone on before thistime of ‘we which are alive and have remained’ that are now hearingthis last trumpet of God for our glorification.

Let us get back to our reading in Ezekiel, Chapter 37. Notice, the firstthing God told him to do (and He even tells him what to say), Verse 4,“and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.” Verse 5,“Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath toenter into you, and ye shall live:” Now look at that—a valley of dry bonesthat comes alive and will even begin to breathe again and walk and talkagain. This is typical of Israel coming back to their land and being re-stored as a nation. But I tell you, we have come into our land, as thedead appear and we which are alive and have remained are going tobe changed in the twinkling of an eye. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and 1Corinthians 15:51-52) How is this going to happen? By this trump ofGod that is sounding, the dead in Christ are going to become visible(raised, resurrected) and we will be changed. And we will all have abody like unto His own glorious body; for we are dressed in fine linen,clean and white, ready to go to the throne, riding in His second chariot,keeper of His papers (a keeper of the Word; not only in our heart but inflesh and bones).

Verse 6 says, “And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh uponyou, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and yeshall know that I am the LORD.” Those in the Dark Ages that camethrough that terrible time, they are receiving the promise of the Lordfor their resurrection; for a promise made is a promise kept—the deadin Christ are going to appear. He made the promise, and now He haskept the promise; because there is this message of a promise made is apromise kept that is sounding out through this last trump of God. Hehas brought these spirits down so that they could take on flesh andbones.

Verses 7-10, “So I prophesied as I was commanded: (Now watch, this wasWord for that hour for this particular assignment. It was living Wordthat was spoken to come alive at this end time and do in Israel what the

prophet said it would do. Now bring that up to to our day for the wifeof the Lamb and put it in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15, where it says, “Odeath, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” Hallelujah!We prophesy, we believe the Word. And here it is right before us. Wedo not have to look for it and wait for it, here it is.) and as I prophesied,there was a noise (Is it all right to make a little noise? We might as wellshout! They are shouting!), and behold a shaking, and the bones came to-gether, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh cameup upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath inthem. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man,and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, Obreath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as hecommanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upupon their feet, an exceeding great army.” Here is a special point I want tomake about Ezekiel prophesying. It was God prophesying throughEzekiel’s mouth; and he said each thing God told him to say. It is herewe get a great truth in how we, the wife, prophesy according to Reve-lation 10:11. Compare God telling Ezekiel what to say in order to getthe dry bones to live again, with Christ the wife of God’s Son being toldto prophesy again. Now God’s Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, tells HisChrist wife what to prophesy in order to put flesh and bones on thetheophanies that Christ brought back to this earth that are part of thewife. So it is Christ using the living members of the body to prophesyflesh and bones on the theophanies by the Word of our mouth. There-fore, we are speaking no other words than what God promised wouldbe here. This is no different than Ezekiel saying what God was tellinghim to say. So do not miss this truth.

Now what did Ezekiel start with? Just bones; very dry bones andGod’s instruction. But look what Ezekiel had after he got throughprophesying—a great army! That was God bringing Israel back to theirhomeland. Everyone said that it was impossible and that it could notbe done. But God always works out things and brings to pass just whatHe said.

This wonderful Word is showing what He did back there; but He isthe same God in this hour, the same life. So this Word that is made fleshis now coming forth in the resurrected wife members, and they willhave the same nature that they had when they were previously livinghere, but without any faults. So our soul is what we created in our bodyover our lifetime. Our total experience in our life has created our soulwithin us as we walk with God. So when that soul is converted (bornagain), that is when your life really begins to count for God. When theSpirit of God came into you, that is when eternal life began. Before this

time, we were living on the temporary life that one received at the timeof their natural birth. So the only way to have eternal life is to get God’sown life. All these other souls will be done away with as God sees fit.There is no such thing as souls burning in hell throughout eternity. No.The only way hell could be eternal would be that the ones that went tohell would have eternal life; because eternal life means God’s own life,and He only gives His life to His children.

Now in dealing with the things of the New Testament, God’s Wordsays, ‘prophesy again.’ And as we have come into Ephesians 4:13-16,we see the body of Christ in another form, in the marriage of the Lamb.That is the spiritual body, which was increased in stature by our mar-riage, making us bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, as we bathe inthe sunlight of His fullness. And that is a Word body. It does not saythat we type out the Word body of Christ, or that we are the mysticalbody of Christ. No, we are the body of Christ in flesh and bones, thewife of the Lamb. We have His mind, His thoughts, His attributes, andHis power. We have become the Christ by our baptism into His fullness;and we are expressing God’s Son because we are His Christ wife.

Now we see what God has done in bringing us to this hour, and weare so thankful. And now we know what He is continuing to do at thispresent time—there is this message going forth. And this message isnot piddle-paddling around, playing in a mud-hole, like children mak-ing mud-pies. But this message is serious, because it is His very fleshand bones, the wife of our Husband and King, the Lord Jesus Christ.

So the body is a Word body; and this message, this Word, is what pro-duces it. The dead are raised (appear among us), and we are changed;all by the sounding of this trumpet. The trump is sounding and thedead in Christ come forth and we are changed, and we will all be caughtup together to meet the Lord Jesus, clothed in fine linen, clean andwhite. Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, thank you for your goodness and mercy and for your power.I pray that you will take these words and use them for your glory and let ussee that there is no power that can stand against it nor stop it. It has startednow, and it is unstoppable. And it will raise the dead and change the living.We pray that you will take these words and use them for your glory, in thename of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

SONGS FOR THE WIFE OF THE LAMB

I WOULD LIKE FOR THE READER TO KNOW THAT THESE SONGSDEAL WITH THE WORKING OF GOD AND REFLECT THE TIME

THAT WE ARE LIVING IN. THEY REFLECT THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE, RATHER THAN JUST THE PAST.IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, WE SEE MOSES AND THE

CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SINGING A SONG ABOUT THE EVENT OF THEIR CROSSING THE RED SEA ON DRY GROUND,

WITH SINGING AND DANCINGIN PRAISE UNTO GOD. ALSO, THERE WAS KING DAVID, WHO

WROTE SONGS (PSALMS) ABOUT EVENTS THAT WERE HAPPENINGTO HIM DAILY. SO THIS IS THE WAY OF THE WIFE OF THE LAMBIN THIS HOUR, AS WE WRITE SONGS AND SING PRAISES UNTO

GOD RELEVANT FOR THE TIME WE ARE LIVING IN, REFLECTING THE MOVING

OF GOD’S SPIRIT AS SHOWN IN THIS END TIME MESSAGE OF THE LAST TRUMPET OF GOD ACCORDING

TO 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-52.

IS THIS NOT THE CHRIST?©APRIL 21, 2018 BY BARBARAJEAN HOWARD

A SAMARITAN WOMAN AT JABCOB’S WELL,FOR WATER SHE CAME, AND HER LIFE WAS TO CHANGE,

AS SHE FOUND JESUS SITTING THERE.TO HER SURPRISE, HE SAID, “GIVE ME DRINK,”

BEING NOT HIS KIND, GOD’S GRACE INTERVENED,“IF YOU KNEW WHO I WAS, YOU WOULD ASK,

FOR THIS LIVING WATER TO DRINK.”THEN SHE SAID, “SIR, GIVE ME DRINK, THAT I THIRST NOT,

NOR DRAW FROM THIS WELL, ANYMORE WATER FOR DRINK.”AND THEN HE TOLD HER, THE THINGS OF HER LIFE,

AND THE WORSHIP OF GOD WAS IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH,AND NOW SHE KNEW, THAT THE CHRIST HAD COME.

SO, COME HEAR A MAN,IS THIS NOT THE CHRIST?

FOR HE TOLD ME ALL THINGS, EVER I DID,AND LIVING WATER HE GAVE,

THAT I THIRST NOT AGAIN,IS THIS NOT THE CHRIST?

THERE ARE MANY WELLS OF WATER TODAY,WHERE MEN GO TO DRAW, TO WORSHIP AND PRAY,

BUT THEY STILL HAVE A THIRST WHEN THEY WALK AWAY.NOW THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, GOD’S WORD LIGHTS THE WAY,

AS THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST HAS COME IN THIS DAY,AND TAKES THE THRIST AWAY.

SO, COME HEAR A MAN,IS THIS NOT THE CHRIST?

THAT SAYS TO A WIFE, “IN FINE LINEN YOU ARE DRESSED,NOW YOU HAVE OVERCOME DEATH,”

IS THIS NOT THE CHRIST?

AS I BATHE, BEING CHANGED, IN THE SUNLIGHT OF YOUR LOVE.

LORD, HERE IN YOUR PRESENCE,THIS LIVING WORD MADE FLESH TESTIFIES,

BLESSINGS, POWER, AND HONOR TO THE LAMB,IN LOVE, FROM YOUR PRECIOUS WIFE.

THAT IS WHY I JUST WAIT, I JUST WAIT FOR YOU TO SAY,AND THEN I SAY, “LET YOUR PERFECT WILL BE DONE.”

OH, I JUST WAIT, I JUST WAIT FOR YOU TO SAY,AND THEN I SAY, “LET YOUR PERFECT WILL BE DONE,”

A Prayer

Heavenly Father, we come praising you and thanking you,in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, for your goodness andmercy, and now for your great grace that you have given to

us, the wife of your Son.

I pray that you will take these words that I have spoken, andthat you will use them for your glory. And may we all take

courage from this moment on, and go forward, knowingthat when you make a promise, a promise made is a

promise kept. Lord, we bless and praise your name. Amen.

Ben & Barbarajean Howard
