False Anointed Ones In The End Times

False Anointed Ones in the End Times Rev. John Shane Vaughn — First Harvest Ministries International In honor of William Branham, whose message brought me out of Babylon ________________ 1 I am taking a little deviation today; I planned on preaching further into the seven thunders today, but the Lord sort of paused me and gave me a message to the church — the entire congregation — that is not quite in line with that particular series, but in its own way, it is. 2 And we are going to the book of Matthew today, chapter 24, verse 24. 3 Now, before I get started, I want to give honor to a man; I am not like most people — I believe in giving honor to the men that God uses in my life, and I want to give honor. 4 I was probably twenty years old — that is thirty-two years ago — and somehow, I wish I could remember the details — somehow, this is when the — oh, I remember — this is when the Interweb first came out. 5 How many remember AOL? How many remember the dial-up little noise, the connection? That was the most exciting little sound — thou just knewest thou wast about to connect. 6 And back then it took an hour for a page to load, and thou didst not care — thou wast so excited. 7 Well, right during that time frame, I was pastoring a church in Mer Rouge, Louisiana, and someone sent me something online about a man I had never really heard of except maybe in passing — they sent me a sermon by this man. 8 And the first thing I thought when I looked at the sermon — it was four hours long — and I thought, have y'all lost your mind? I am not listening to no four-hour sermon. 9 That was back when we did thirty-minute sermons; and so I saw it was right at four hours, and I was not interested at all. 10 But I did start to listen to it, and what made me listen was the title of that sermon — and the title grabbed me. 11 And today I am going to preach to thee the sermon that brought me out of Babylon; I am going to preach to thee the very sermon, the first one I ever heard, that caused me to begin to question everything I believed. 12 Now I will not be preaching it verbatim, but it will flow in the same direction; and it is just my hope now, because the man that preached it is dead and gone. 13 His name was William Branham, and he preached this message, and it was entitled — False Anointed Ones in the End Times. 14 And a lot of the message he did not preach because I am incorporating it with my own revelations, but I want thee to hear this message. 15 Because I believe that if thou wilt listen to my sermon today, it will cause thee to go back to the drawing board and make sure that thou art hearing the true word for this hour. 16 Matthew 24, verse 24 — I know if Elder Bellinger is listening, he already knoweth this sermon by heart, because this is what called many of us out of Babylon many years ago. 17 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and they shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 18 I want thee to underline that — if it were possible; I want thee to underline that in thy mind; someone read that in the negative and tell me what it is saying. 19 It is not possible; there is a group of people on planet earth that shall survive the last days without deception — they will not be deceived, they cannot be deceived. 20 And it is not because they are better than anybody else, but they have got a different seed — yes, sir — they have got a different seed, and this is important that thou understand that. 21 Now, we have read this verse — how many of thee have read this verse thy whole life? And when thou seest that in the last days there will be false Christs, thou seest some woolly-haired man on a corner saying, I am Jesus. 22 That is what we perceive it to say — that there would be people rise up to claim to be Christ in the last days; it is what I always thought as well. 23 And so we read it and we see a wild-eyed man on a street corner holding a sign saying, I am Christ; but I want thee to know today that is not what this verse was warning about. 24 The word Christ in thy Bible — I will let thee be seated in a little while — the word Christ in thy Bible is the Greek word Christos; all it means is anointed. 25 This is going to get down deep today — Christ does not mean Jesus; Yeshua was the anointed one, but he was not the only one anointed. 26 We could call Yeshua the Christ, but he is not the only Christ; he is not the only anointed one in the world and in the whole word of God. 27 Jeremiah was anointed, Isaiah was anointed, Ezekiel, David — all anointed with oil; so let us read the scripture one more time and let us read it out of the JSV version. 28 There shall arise false anointed ones and false prophets, and they will be so convincing that they shall deceive the whole world except for a small group of people. 29 Someone say — there shall arise false anointed ones in the end times; this is an end time prophecy. 30 They asked Yeshua, what is the sign that thou art about to come? He said, there will be men more anointed than thou hast ever seen before, and thou wilt not be able to tell the difference in the anointing. 31 Now this warning, beloved friend of mine, is not a warning about impostors; I want thee to hear what I am fixing to teach thee. 32 There is no such thing — and listen carefully — there is no such thing as a false anointing; be careful of false anointed ones, not of false anointings. 33 The anointing is real — oh yes, sir — because there is only one place the anointing can come from, and that place is God. 34 And the Bible said in the last days there will be men anointed by God that are false — that is right, amen, Apostle, amen. 35 In this day, thy job as an Israelite is not to look for the false anointing, but to look for the true anointing under the wrong teaching — caught two of you this morning. 36 This warning from Yeshua is a warning about men that carry a genuine anointing; they move in real spiritual power — that is right — and Satan cannot anoint anyone. 37 The anointing is real, and thy job is to be careful of the real anointing on a false teacher. 38 They are so anointed they can cast out devils; the Bible said no man can cast out a devil but by the spirit of God. 39 There are men in the pulpit today that are anointed by God, and their anointing will fill an auditorium — their anointing will show thee the power of God — come on — absolutely. 40 And I have come to tell thee — the first time I heard William Branham break this verse down, I began to shiver in my skin and think, my God. 41 Because what is the one thing I always said about a man? Uh-uh, they are anointed; I can tell thee they are anointed; oh, but what they are teaching is poison. 42 Do not tell me they are not anointed — I saw God anoint them; thou surely did — false anointed ones, but anointed nonetheless. 43 The most dangerous thing in this hour is an anointed preacher with the wrong message. 44 They are so anointed that when they preach, they can bring tears to thine eyes; they are so anointed by God that the altars will fill up when they preach. 45 They are so anointed that when they lay hands on the sick, they recover; my God from heaven — I knew half of you would not be able to work with me this morning, you are too religious. 46 Oh, but listen to me and listen well — we have a warning from the Holy Ghost; if thou art going to survive the end time, thou canst not look for the anointing — thou must look for the truth. 47 Hallelujah to God, blessed be his holy name; it is those false anointed ones that shall say to the Messiah — did we not prophesy in thy name? Did we not cast out devils in thy name? Did we not heal the sick in thy name? We were anointed by thee. 48 And he is going to say — thou wast anointed by me, but not appointed by me. 49 They can fill auditoriums and their teachings be wrong — yes, sir. 50 I will never forget — I went to a Benny Hinn meeting many, many years ago, and my God, could I feel the anointing — yes, sir — oh my God, the anointing was all in that room, sir. 51 He was anointed — that is right, that is right — see, that is the problem; y'all want to think that is a false anointing? No, no, no, no, no, no, no — every one of these men are anointed by God. 52 And I will never forget when Benny started to talk, and everything was about the Holy Spirit — nothing about Yahweh, nothing about the Son — everything was focused on the Holy Spirit. 53 And he referred to him as the third person of the Godhead; and immediately — there is a group of people that cannot be deceived — immediately I had to look past the anointing and I had to listen to the message hiding under the anointing. 54 Many of thee are too impressed by the anointing and not by truth; why? Because the false anointed ones — not the false anointing, but false anointed ones — are going to be what destroys the church in the end time. 55 Listen right now — we could not fill this building up if we tried; Waveland does not want the truth, the world does not want the truth. 56 There is only one group of people that wants the truth — it is the elect, the predestined seed of God, that hath been elected to hear the truth; and when they hear it, they will know it. 57 Everybody else is looking for the anointing — they are looking for the anointing; but Yeshua said, beware of anointed preachers. 58 How will we know it is the end time? There will be so many anointed preachers, anointed by the Holy Ghost — they are everywhere — and thou wilt think that being anointed by God is the same as being approved by God. 59 Thou art a candidate for end time deception if thou art looking for the anointing; there are some people that can get behind this pulpit and I promise thee in ten minutes the anointing will move through this building like thou hast never seen. 60 But when they open their mouths to teach this word, false doctrine hides behind the anointing; and because thou wast so impressed with the anointing, thou swallowed the pill of false doctrine. 61 Power is not the test; miracles are not the test; emotional experiences are not the test. 62 The entire Bible — I am going to explain something to thee to show thee the test — because I am going to preach on a subject right now that is the least popular subject I preach on. 63 People love everything I teach except this one doctrine — and I will give thee two guesses of what it is — government; the Bible said in the last day, men will despise government. 64 Men will think that there is no government over them, that they are equal; the American idea that all men are equal hath destroyed the church. 65 Because my Bible saith all men are not equal; my Bible saith there are some that are over thee — they are over thee in rank and authority and their government. 66 Look, the judge down there at the court is not equal to thee; come on now — for those of thee that believe in equality, go down to the court and do not stand when they say all rise. 67 Thou wilt see how equal thou art; there is a man walking in the door that is over thee — that is called government. 68 Do thou know what is wrong with our children? Thou didst not teach them government; do thou know what is wrong with all the children of America today? Thou quit teaching them government because thou didst not show them what it looked like by example. 69 Oh yeah — mama does not honor daddy in the home; uh-oh, I might as well just preach now; the kids do not see thee honoring the government of a husband or a father, so they honor no government. 70 And that spirit begins to run through the church and then through the world; listen — there is nothing happening in the world today that did not happen in the church first — that is right, nothing. 71 And so I want to talk to thee a little bit more about government — because pastor, I thought thou wast preaching on the anointing; oh, I am — thy job is to stay with me while I get there. 72 The whole word of God begins with government; in a garden called Eden, the heavenly council came down — if thou dost not know about the heavenly council, watch my sermon on the seventy angels that sit on the heavenly council. 73 That heavenly council came to the Garden of Eden with Yahweh, and Yahweh looked at them and said, let us make man in our image and in our likeness — that was the first government meeting in the Bible. 74 The angels were there with Yahweh — that is why men look like angels; that is why the Bible said be careful lest thou entertain an angel unawares, because we are made in the image of angels, which is made in the image of God. 75 There is no other creature on earth made in the image of Yahweh except humanity. 76 Well, when that government, that heavenly administration, came to the Garden of Eden to establish order — what was the purpose of that government meeting? The world was in chaos. 77 Get my book, Before the Beginning — find out what was happening before Genesis 1; everything was in chaos, everything; and then there was a government meeting in the Garden of Eden with the heavenly council. 78 And it was decided — we are going to bring order to this chaos; we are going to establish government in this garden. 79 He looked at Adam and said, Adam, here is thy job — take control of the government; oh, my Bible does not say that; yes, it does — nobody taught thee how to read it, so let me help thee. 80 When he said subdue the earth, when he said go forth and subdue it, what he meaneth is — take control of the chaos; take control, name everything, categorize everything, organize everything, bring a government to an ungoverned world. 81 Subdue the earth — take control and govern it; that is the first thing Adam was called to do — he was appointed as a ruler over planet earth. 82 Thy entire Bible is about government being challenged; I want thee to read every Bible story in thy Bible — it is all about somebody challenging government. 83 Go ask Goliath when he challenged the house of Israel; go ask the story of Solomon and his brother Adonijah and those that wanted to take the throne of David. 84 The entire Bible is about the challenge of order and government among the sons of God; and when thou comest into the church, it is the same battle today — everybody hates government. 85 The Bible telleth us where government starts, where it was challenged, how it was corrupted, how it was hijacked; but the last book of the Bible telleth how it is all going to be restored — government on planet earth, right here on earth. 86 Now, the reason Satan wanteth thee to go to heaven — listen — if thou thinkest Satan is trying to bring thee to hell, thou art wrong; he is trying to send thee to heaven. 87 That is right — thou knowest why he wanteth thee off of his planet? He knoweth thy job is to rule this planet, to take over, to have dominion over it; he needeth thee to fly away somewhere so he can stay in control. 88 But I have read the back of the book — he will be bound a thousand years, and I will rule and reign with Messiah, and government shall be restored. 89 So if Yahweh is going to restore government — now watch this — I want to show thee something; why are every one of thee keeping the Sabbath day? It is a shadow of things to come. 90 Thou comest today while the rest of the world goeth on Sunday, because they believe God careth not when thou worshippest; please, thou dost not want to debate me on that. 91 Look, God careth so much he said plant ninety-nine palm trees around the temple — not one hundred, not ninety-eight — because obedience is everything. 92 Dost thou know the only thing thou canst give to God that he doth not own? It is thy obedience — that is the only thing he cannot create — an obedient child. 93 The Sabbath is a test of that obedience; the Sabbath is not about when thou worshippest — the Sabbath is about when thou stoppest. 94 It is when thou stoppest and sayest — there it is, the Sabbath day, I surrender to it; because today I will give thee what even thou canst not create — an obedient child. 95 He could not even create it in the angels; brother Sylvester, every time thou choosest to obey thy heavenly father, thou hast given him a gift that he cannot create. 96 Every time thou art going through thy day and thou stoppest and prayest, thou hast given a gift to thy heavenly father; thou hast shown him — I am an obedient child, I cannot do anything without thee. 97 I cannot go another step without thee, I cannot even walk without thee holding my hand, I need thee, I am poor in spirit, I want it all, I am here to obey thee. 98 When thou goest to the back of thy Bible, here is what thou wilt find — one hundred forty-four thousand governors standing on Mount Zion. 99 That is not, by the way, a praise gathering — no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no — I want to show thee what that is if thou canst handle it. 100 When John looked on Mount Zion and saw one hundred forty-four thousand, here is what he saw — that was not a church service; no, no, no, no, no, no — that was the new heavenly council. 101 That was the new Garden of Eden saying — we made man in our image, we made man in thy likeness, we accomplished it, we are what thou prophesied. 102 In the Garden of Eden, he said, let us make man; but on Mount Zion, he will look and see that what he said, we became — men in his likeness, in his image, standing on Mount Zion. 103 Government will be restored — amen; now, my question to thee — how dost thou plan on getting in that number if thou canst not even get to his house on the Shabbat? 104 Now, my question — thou art here today to practice, art thou not? What art thou practicing? The coming kingdom. 105 So if his ultimate goal is to restore government, where dost thou think the shadow of that is going to be? 106 He will not restore government to the earth until he raiseth up a man that will teach it to thee before that time comes; and he looketh on Mount Zion today and seeth standing there today what will be standing there tomorrow. 107 Oh, I am the shadow of it all — I said I am the shadow of it all. 108 Everything between Genesis and Revelation is a war for government, and the first being that challenged government was not a human — it was the original false anointed one. 109 Did thou get it? The first one that challenged leadership, government, and authority was the first false anointed one. 110 Now, what did Yeshua tell thee to watch out for in the last day? False anointed ones — that is right — in other words, they would operate just like Satan. 111 And he is anointed; dost thou know that Yahweh anointed Satan? I think we ought to read that — it is in the book of Ezekiel. 112 Let us read that, because it is very important that thou understand that the nameless one is an anointed minister of God. 113 The book of Ezekiel, chapter 28, verse 14 — thou art the anointed cherub that covereth, and I have set thee so; thou wast upon the holy mountain of Yahweh. 114 What did it just say? Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth — I anointed thee in the government of my church; thou wast anointed to be the pastor, the apostle, the leader of my people on planet earth; I anointed thee for that. 115 This is Yahweh speaking to the nameless one, saying to him — I anointed thee; not just any creature — Hassatan was set apart and consecrated with holy oil. 116 And he was set into the government, the organization of Mount Zion; what do mountains always represent in the Bible? Government. 117 Satan was at the head, at the top of the government; that is why when he getteth ready to destroy a church, he goeth and taketh over the head of the government. 118 Apostle — that is who he goeth after, sir — because that was his position; thou knowest why he liketh to attack preachers? Because that is what he was. 119 Pastors — he was one; I am standing today on the top of Mount Zion; thou understandest that? He anointed me and placed me here. 120 I am standing where Satan once stood in the pulpit — amen — but I am not alone. 121 The only place that Satan desireth to be is not in a strip club; he hath no desire for the honky-tonk; the devil doth not even go to those places — just lost children go there. 122 Satan goeth to the pulpit, and he bringeth his anointing with him — oh, I come to preach today. 123 If thou wantest to know where Satan once stood, look on the left side of the ark of the covenant — that is the cherub that covereth; that was Satan's position and Michael's position — they covered the throne, the government of God. 124 To this very day, he is still on the left hand of God right there; God is in the center — does anybody awake? That was his position. 125 The Bible said thou wast the cherub that covered — that is right — thou wast so connected to government; thou wast the assistant pastor, the assistant leader of the entire work of God; I placed thee there, and I anointed thee for service. 126 Yahweh said, I appointed thee there; Satan was not an outsider that snuck into the system — he was inside the government of Yahweh, carrying the anointing of Yahweh. 127 Let me show thee how it works — are thou ready? Today, thou dost not like politics, that is on thee, because I believe God is all involved in it. 128 Now I want y'all to watch what happened with the MAGA movement — come on, that is good, that is good. 129 Donald Trump placed people that were nobodies — including myself, sir — into prominence; Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, the Hodge twins — those people were nobodies. 130 Nobodies — Greg Locke, all nobodies — Shane Vaughn, Professor Toto, nobodies; and God took a man, and that man placed people and gave them a voice. 131 And if thou wantest to know what is bringing our movement down today, it is not George Soros, it is not Nancy Pelosi — no, it is none of them. 132 It is our own angels that were placed in government over our movement — it is Tucker Carlson, it is Candace Owens — that are turning on the very man that placed them in their position. 133 Now, I said that to show thee — when Yahweh placed Satan in his position, it was to govern the movement, to govern the earth. 134 Everybody loved the candidate Donald Trump, but not the President Donald Trump; he had no power when he was a candidate, no authority to make decisions even if they did not agree with him. 135 My God from Zion — when he was a candidate, he sort of had to, you know, listen to them — I need your people's votes — but the minute he got authority, he started sending bombs to Iran, did not ask nobody. 136 Digging that snake right out of the ground — that is right, cut that snake — thou knowest why? We hate what we cannot control — amen — we despise government. 137 These men did not miraculously turn against Donald Trump — they turned against government; Candace Owens does not hate Donald Trump, she hates government. 138 As a matter of fact, she said on her podcast — I am ungovernable — that is what Satan said — and that is what Satan said — that is right — I am ungovernable. 139 Thou dost not have to agree with me, but thou canst not debate me — come on — because I am telling thee, government is everything. 140 From Genesis to Revelation, it is everything; and thou art going to get tired of hearing me preach it — I am going to preach it till I get thee in the government; I said I am going to preach this till I get thee in the government, till thou wantest to be governed. 141 Now let us read Romans 11, verse 29; and I want to say something to thee, military men — Candace Owens just told our young men not to join our military. 142 Thou hast become an enemy of the United States of America, ma'am; I consider thee treasonous for telling our men not to sign up for our military — thy treason — and thy day is coming, ma'am; somebody clip it and send it to her. 143 It is high treason against the United States of America; and I will tell thee who else is a traitor — Mark Kelly, when he made his video for men to disobey Donald Trump in the armed forces; thou, sir, art a traitor to this great nation and thou needest to be arrested for high treason. 144 They are ungovernable; they despise authority; it is spreading; dost thou know why America is falling apart? There was a time we could be governed. 145 Dost thou know what James Madison said? James Madison said, our Constitution is completely impossible for a nonreligious people. 146 He said, the only way our Constitution works is for a religious people — thou knowest why? Because when thou art part of the church, thou art learning about government; thou art learning to obey those in authority; the church governeth thee. 147 But he said if people become ungovernable — and let me give thee an example, shall I? Today I watched a video clip before I came to church; it came on my timeline. 148 These two boys — their mother was murdered; sad story; they went to court and the murderer was there in court, and what happened was the two boys jumped over the banister and attacked the murderer. 149 Now everybody in the thread — there were like four thousand comments — I felt like the only pea in the jar, because they were all saying, that is what thou shouldest have done. 150 No, no — that is what thou doest in the jungle, not in a civilized, governable society; we do not do that; we allow the prosecutor to do it — we are governable. 151 They should have sat over there and let the prosecutor do it; it is just like all you people demanded all those files — I told thee when they come out there was going to be nothing; nothing happened. 152 Why? Because we are insatiable, we are ungovernable; we do not trust nobody but ourselves; dost thou know what that soundeth like? Thou trustest thee. 153 Dost thou know what that soundeth like? Who art thou to be trusted? Oh, I am on a roll now; thou wilt have to bear with me. 154 Can I tell thee something? I do not even trust myself; I trust the word of God — this alone is all I trust; I do not even trust myself; the Bible said, place no trust in the arm of flesh. 155 So we agreed in 1776 to be governed by an imperfect government; dost thou know y'all's problem? Thou wantest a perfect government in an imperfect world. 156 Dost thou know why people are so upset with government? Because they have no idea about the one that is coming. 157 They have no idea that the good government is on the way — of the saints of God; there will be a day — I want thee to think about this — there will be a day when someone like Frank Kendrick is sitting on a judge's chair. 158 There will come a day when someone like Sister Callie Sue will be over the service department of serving others; oh, suddenly thy government is going to be made up of the saints that have been tried in the fire, that have been tested by the flame, that have surrendered their own will. 159 That government is coming; until then, we carry on. 160 So Satan rebelled; now I want to explain something — I need thee to listen to this little bomb, I want thee to get it. 161 Satan rebelled against God, and yes, he lost his position — but not his anointing; pastor, how dost thou know that? Romans 11, verse 29. 162 For the gifts and calling of Yahweh are without repentance — he doth not take them back; he never taketh back his anointing. 163 Thou knowest why he doth not? It is a tool for him to test, to find the true church of God — it is a test — because if they were not anointed, thou wouldst not fall for them. 164 I will never forget — when I was not living right, when I was doing things I should not have been doing — I remember that time in my life when I was backslidden, drifting, when I went to prison for three years. 165 I remember that time of my life, and I want thee to know something, and I am going to tell thee something that may shock thee — when I was in prison, I was just as anointed as I am today. 166 I believe it — hallelujah — amen, that is the truth; every night at five o'clock, a call came over the monitors — Von, warden's office. 167 Because that warden wanted to hear me teach the word; I would go in his office, he would have me some pizza in there — nobody else got pizza but me — I would teach the word to him and then I would go baptize. 168 I was the anointing; the anointing never leaveth thee — it does not — and I am going to tell thee something else. 169 Even when thou art living in sin and thou makest a mistake and thou sayest, I know that is a man of God, he is anointed — false anointed ones, but anointed nonetheless. 170 It ought to scare every preacher in here to know thou canst be anointed and living in sin; thou canst be anointed on thy road to the outer court, anointed on thy way into outer darkness. 171 The anointing is not what Satan needed — Satan needed the appointment, not the anointing. 172 Those of thee on Zoom right now — thou scrollest through YouTube and thou goest and listenest to every Tom and Dick that is here and everybody out there, and thou scrollest through and thou findest people that are anointed. 173 But thou starteth listening and thou wilt hear incarnation, thou wilt hear trinity, thou wilt hear three gods, thou wilt hear a false baptism — thou had better wake up out there and realize when thou hast found the truth, thou hast found everything. 174 I said when thou hast found the truth, thou hast found everything; there is nothing else greater; the Bible said it is a treasure hidden in a field — oh, buy it and sell it not. 175 Second Corinthians 11, verse 14 — and no marvel, no marvel, do not marvel — for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 176 Satan is a preacher; Satan, listen to me carefully, hath never left the pulpit; he started off in the pulpit, and he is still there. 177 How dost thou know, pastor? How do I know? I will tell thee how thou knowest — thou hadst better listen to the teachings — that is right. 178 It is not the power, and it is not the ability to preach, and it is not the anointing; if thou art sitting under the ministry of Satan, thou wilt know it by the doctrines coming forth from that pulpit — that is how thou wilt know. 179 The JSV version — Satan looketh like a preacher — that is right, that is right — the Bible said he hath transformed himself; he is no longer dark. 180 Dost thou grasp what Yeshua is warning thee about? If Satan were to fill out an application for a job, it would always be to be a pastor — that is his position. 181 Through the decades and the centuries, that is what he hath been taking over; that is why he goeth after preachers — thou art in his pulpit, he wanteth somebody else there that will preach what they want to hear and let him preach through them. 182 But if thou art preaching truth, he will destroy thee — not from the world, but from the church; that is why I need prayer warriors around me night and day to protect me from every temptation, every devil, everything that would turn my eyes from truth and my calling and my destiny in this pulpit. 183 False anointed ones in the end time — but pastor, the way they can speak, the way they can — I know; it is not the way they speak; what do they speak? 184 I want to read to thee from the word of Yahweh; the book of Jude — I want to show thee something in the book of Jude, verse nine. 185 Now watch this — who did I tell thee these angels were? Lucifer and Michael — let us read. 186 Yet Michael the archangel — hold on — the archangel — he is the ark that covered — when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, and durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, the Lord rebuke thee. 187 Now, dost thou know why Michael would not rebuke the man of God? He was still anointed by God — amen — half of y'all are lost right now. 188 Angels understand government; angels understand hierarchy; they understand positions in the government of God. 189 And so him and Lucifer are equal — look — he cannot rebuke an equal; that is exactly right. 190 David would not touch Saul — he understood government; Saul was anointed by God while he was living in sin — yes, sir — Saul was a false anointed one, but he was an anointed one. 191 And David said, I will not touch what hath been set aside for the work of God — I will not touch it. 192 Now, dost thou not know he wanted to touch it? Dost thou not know Michael wanted to — when Satan was arguing about Moses's body? 193 Because all bodies belong to Satan, because no one hath taken over the earth until Yeshua came; so everybody belonged to Satan — that is right. 194 Moses did not belong to God legally — he belonged to Satan; that is why the Bible said, oh death, where is thy sting? Until Yeshua came, every man was held under the authority of Satan. 195 But Yahweh knew that if he did not hide the body of Moses, the children of Israel would turn him into a god; he knew they would turn him into a false idol and his grave would literally become the place where they would worship. 196 So he hideth Moses, and here cometh Satan, saying — hey, where is — now think about this for those of thee that think Satan knoweth everything — hey, where didst thou put Moses? 197 Well, tell me, dummy — Satan is not all-knowing; no, sir, no, sir — he doth not even know where Moses is. 198 But Yahweh sent Michael to get Moses's body and hide it from the devil; I will never understand why we think Satan is so powerful — he doth not even know where Moses is, much less where thy blessing is. 199 Now, he did appeal to government — he said, the Lord rebuke thee. 200 I want thee to understand what Michael was actually doing in that moment; most preachers read that verse and say that Michael was simply being humble, but there is something much deeper happening. 201 He was making — and I need thee to listen to this — he was making a declaration of focus; pay attention. 202 He was not saying, I do not have the strength to handle this; he was not saying, Satan, thou art too strong for me; he was saying something far more powerful. 203 He was saying — this is beyond the boundary of my authority to judge; and he said, Satan, I refuse to make thee my focus; the Lord rebuke thee while I keep working. 204 The devil is arguing with Michael — well, how could God do this? This is not — no, Michael said, I do not have time for thee today. 205 Not today, Satan — thou knowest what? I am just turning thee over to the Lord and I am going to keep on dragging this body where God told me to drag it. 206 I am going to keep building the building, working on the building; the Lord will deal with thee; the Lord rebuke thee — I do not have time to focus on thee today. 207 In other words — I see thee, devil, yes, and I hear thee, and I know what thou art; but I will not be moved by thee, I will not be corrupted by thy words, I will not allow thee to occupy my thoughts or consume my energy. 208 But I will not touch thee either; I will leave thee in the plans of Yahweh; I will not devil-worship today. 209 I will not focus on what I cannot fix; I will not focus on what I have no authority over and no control over; I will instead turn mine eyes to the hills from which cometh my help — my help cometh from the Lord. 210 All he said was — not today, Satan; that is all he said. 211 He said, if thou thinkest I am going to sit here and argue with thee today — well, why would God do it that way? Anytime thou hearest the question, why would God do it that way? That is thee and the devil — thou understandest? He is right there with thee. 212 That is when thou lookest at him and sayest — thou knowest what? I cannot even answer thy questions; I do not even have an answer for thee; and I do not know why God is doing it that way, but the Lord rebuke thee. 213 It is out of my hands; the Lord rebuke thee; I am giving it to him; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 214 In other words — I do not even have time to rebuke thee, because I am so focused on him; I do not have time to cast out devils because I am so focused on him. 215 That is right — he said, I leave thee to the plans of Yahweh; I will not focus on thy troubling me, but I will focus on him protecting me; the Lord rebukes thee. 216 I do not have an answer for thee, Satan; I can hear Satan — I was not there, but I can hear him — but the law saith he belongeth to me. 217 Thou knowest what Michael said? I am just a poor angel in spirit; I do not have all the answers, Satan; I am just doing an assignment that the Lord gave me, and I am going to leave it up to thee and the Lord. 218 I am not focusing today on what I cannot fix; I am under government, and when I do not know why, I know who; when I cannot explain it all, I just surrender it all. 219 Oh, why? Because it is all about his will; the Lord rebuke thee; the Lord rebuke thee. 220 My grandmother used to say that, and I did not quite grasp it until now, but I would hear her tell the devil many a time — the Lord rebuke thee — and she would keep on working for God. 221 The Lord — listen — if thou thinkest I am going to stop building this building, if thou thinkest I am coming off of this wall like Sanballat — if thou thinkest I am coming to cast out a devil when thou art not my focus — I cannot be distracted, because I am under government. 222 Yes, sir — dost thou know why the Lord just — thank thee, Father — he just revealed to me further why Michael did that; boy, I love when he revealeth to me. 223 He just spoke to me as if from a pipeline, and he said to me — had Michael rebuked the devil, he would not have been doing the assignment that I sent him to do. 224 I sent him to hide a body, not to fight the devil; I sent him to build a building; I sent him to do a work; I sent him to finish what I told him to do. 225 I did not send him to answer questions or to fight the devil — bury the body, Michael. 226 Thou knowest why Michael said, the Lord rebuke thee? He was governable. 227 I worry about people that are always trying to rebuke the devil; I worry about those having these mass services trying to cast out devils — who is casting the devil out of the people that are casting out the devils? 228 No, I am for real — who is going to hold the bucket for thee to spit up in? That is right. 229 The church is too focused on devils instead of saying — the Lord rebuke thee, I am focused on him. 230 Return to thy focus on him; say what Michael said and mean it; leave thy burdens at the altar. 231 Because here is what happeneth when believers make false teachers their obsession — now this is important for thee to understand — I want thee to hear me. 232 Notice what Michael did not do; somebody said, pastor, it is our job to deal with these false teachers — it was not Michael's job. 233 It is our job to get a YouTube channel and expose them — that was not Michael's job; thou art so obsessed with false teachers that thou dost not realize thou art fighting the anointing on their life. 234 That is why thou canst not get anywhere; but look at what they are doing — the Lord rebuketh them; I am working on a building, not tearing one down; the Lord will deal with them. 235 Thou art going to eat thine own self alive because thou canst not let God correct his leaders; I have watched for a year now — I have watched them try to bring Joanie Lamb down for a year now. 236 Joanie doth not teach the truth, but I love her because the Lord anointed their work — that is right — and they brought accusation after accusation, YouTube channel after YouTube channel. 237 A year later, dost thou know who is still going strong for God? Yeah. And dost thou know who is still over there complaining about it with no followers anymore? 238 Here is why — the Lord rebuke thee; I do not have time to do it; the Lord rebuke thee. 239 Michael could have exposed the devil right there; he could have turned to the children of Israel and said, here is the devil, here he is, let us get him. 240 No — the Lord rebuke thee, because I do not have time; my job is not to expose false teachers, my job is to focus on the true teacher; my job is to focus on the true — God will deal with the rest. 241 Whensoever thou focusest on false teachers and makest them thine obsession, thou spendest so much time studying the counterfeit that thou losest intimacy with the genuine. 242 Every time thou art worried about a false teacher, thou canst not listen to a true teacher — dost anybody hear me now? Shhhh — but pastor, what about all them false teachers? What about them? I know where some true teaching is. 243 I have never seen anyone bring down a false teacher, ever; I have seen some false teachers bring themselves down, but I have never seen anyone do it. 244 Thou knowest why? If they were ever anointed by God, thou art not fighting the man — thou art fighting the anointing — and thou wilt lose every time, thou wilt lose every time. 245 I want to show thee Matthew 5, verse 45 — I am trying to close — that ye may be the children of your father which is in heaven, for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 246 Now he is not just making a statement about weather; he is describing two types of people that go to the same church — yes, sir, yes, sir. 247 And guess what these two types of people do? They go to the same church and they feel the same anointing; they walk in, even if they are living in sin, and they can feel the anointing. 248 Why? The rain falleth on everybody in that building — that is right — that is why homosexuals and people like that can go right into a church and say, I just felt God in that church. 249 Yes, thou didst — the rain fell — yes, sir — it doth not fall here and skip a few and fall on thee; the spirit of God falleth on anybody in the proximity of the field. 250 And when we are creating the atmosphere of his glory, thou wilt stand in that glory; that is why so many people that have left us — thou thoughtest, how could they be in these services under this teaching? 251 I will tell thee how — because the rain was falling; and at that moment, they were just as involved as thou art — yes, sir, yes, sir. 252 They were at the Feast of Tabernacles; they were at Passover; they felt — but thou seest, it is after the rain; it is after the church service is over and the power is not falling and the spirit is not moving — it is about to be revealed what was in the field. 253 Because brothers and sisters, there is a reason that God alloweth wheat and tares in the same church — because it will reveal the wheat, it will reveal the wheat. 254 When this ministry started five years ago, it started with a great rain in 2020 — yeah — oh, and the harvest came in by the thousands; oh, they came and they kept coming, and they loved the rain. 255 But now, beloved brothers and sisters, thou hearest me? Some of those tares have begun to fall away, and all that will remain will be the true seed of an end-time harvest. 256 Now, the tare lifteth their hands up right with the wheat and shouteth hallelujah — Minister Ryan, the tares will dance right up here with thee — they will; they have to look alike or they are not tares. 257 I have always taught — brother Sylvester — there are three people in the world: unbelievers, true believers, and make-believers; thou hast to find out which one. 258 I would rather know the false and the true; the make-believers are the ones that look just like us. 259 Paul said that these people in the end would be burned — now, he is not talking about the lake of fire — they will be burned out from among the assembly. 260 There will be no more, because they were anointed just like thee, but they fell under a different sunshine. 261 I want to say something — when a false anointed one cometh, they will impress thee first; that is the mechanism of deception; thou canst not deceive someone thou hast not impressed. 262 The power cometh before the poison; the miracles come before the error of doctrine; the anointing openeth the door and false doctrine walketh right through it. 263 So here is what the typical believer doeth when they encounter a powerful preacher — first they check his power; doth he have the signs? Doth the spirit fall on him when he preacheth? Do things happen in the meetings that cannot be explained naturally? If yes, they open their hearts. 264 Then there is a second test they use — I am fixing to teach all of thee; I know thou art getting sleepy, but thou wilt be all right — I am fixing to teach every one of thee; thou art checking the wrong things. 265 Now here is the next test — this is the one many of us fail at; we think, let us check his life — is he a man of integrity? Doth he pay his bills? Okay. Is he humble? Oh, that is good. Is he morally upright? Okay. 266 If yes, then they open their hearts; two tests — doth he have the anointing? And is he a good man? Hopefully he doth not have a prison record — if he doth, we will have to close our hearts. 267 Because the test we use is power and integrity; and yet thou hast just done exactly what the enemy wanted thee to do — thou checked his life and thou checked his anointing, but thou didst not check his teachings. 268 Thou checked everything off except what they were teaching; come on — brother Sylvester just joined a Bible college, congratulations — thou art fixing to find out; they have got good men and horrible teachings. 269 Brothers and sisters, listen to me — many people fail the real test; dost thou know how many good men I know that are thirty-second-degree Masons? That doth not make them anointed by God because they are good men. 270 That doth not even make them a man of God just because they have got a good, clean life; my grandfather had a good, clean life on both sides. 271 I know a lot of people with good records, but I will not sit under their teaching; I know a lot of people with power and anointing — I do not want to sit under their teaching. 272 I am listening for one thing — dost thou know who Yeshua is? Dost thou know who God is? Dost thou know the coming kingdom? Dost thou understand the word of God to teach me truth? 273 Power doth not validate doctrine; a clean life doth not validate doctrine; thou couldest go live like a monk in the desert for forty years and never have sex one time. 274 Thou couldest move in miracles as a monk with the cleanest life in the world and I would not listen to thee teach — amen — because I am not checking thy life and I am not checking thy anointing — I am listening for truth; I want truth in my life. 275 I am going to give thee a quick example and I am getting ready to close; there was a powerful preacher that just passed away — I will not call his name out of respect. 276 He was the greatest, most anointed preacher in Baton Rouge thou wouldest ever want to hear; there was no man more anointed than this man. 277 When he preached, everybody would run and get filled with the Holy Ghost — anointed; but yet he had a doctrine called the finished work of the cross — it was a horrible doctrine. 278 And brothers and sisters, people would flock without listening to what he was teaching; and I want to say to all of you tonight — the doctrine will always create the culture of scandal. 279 It was not this man's life that produced scandal — it was a doctrine called the finished work of the cross, where there was nothing else for thee to do once thou camest to the cross. 280 There was no baptism, there was no living holy, there was no separating from the world — all finished at the cross; an anointed man with a broken framework. 281 I want to bring thee to the attention of one prophet by the name of Balaam; Balaam was a prophet — dost thou know he was a true prophet? He was what? He was anointed — yes, he was. 282 The Bible said in the book of Numbers that the spirit of Yahweh came upon him and he prophesied; I am preaching about false anointed ones today — it was not his anointing that was false, it was his teaching — that is right, amen. 283 The spirit of God came on Balaam and he would prophesy — yes, sir — he even blessed Israel; thou rememberest when they hired him to curse Israel? He said, I cannot curse — God hath blessed. 284 And yet the Bible telleth us that Balaam went back to the king that paid him money and said — I cannot curse them, because I am an anointed man of Yahweh; but he said, I will tell thee how thou canst defeat them. 285 Teach them that idolatry is acceptable; and Israel was destroyed and defeated because of the teaching of Balaam, not the anointing. 286 Balaam said — convince them that the law is done away with; convince them the commandments are in the Old Testament; convince them thou dost not have to live holy — just believe on Christ, thou dost not have to do anything else. 287 Convince them of that, and what they will begin to do is commit adultery and idolatry; they will bring it into the church, and then God himself will destroy the church. 288 I just do not think anybody is grabbing it, so let me try this one more time — his prophecy was correct, his teaching was wrong. 289 Pastor, I went and heard this prophet and he was telling people their addresses — I could not give a flipping rat's behind; when he getteth done giving thee an address, will he bring thee to the right address in the word? What is the teaching? What is the teaching? 290 Balaam's teaching corrupted Israel, but his prophecies encouraged them — yes, sir, yes, sir, amen. 291 He said, Israel, I have come out here to curse thee, but I just had a prophecy from the Lord that y'all cannot be cursed — thou art the head and not the tail, God hath great things for thee — yay! 292 And he was not lying — that is right — he was prophesying under the anointing of God; but when he got through prophesying, he started teaching wrong — false anointed ones in the end time. 293 Y'all, brother Branham went four hours — I am on two. 294 King Ahab wanted to go to war; he found four hundred anointed prophets — they were not prophets of Baal, they were anointed prophets of Israel — yes, sir — they all told him, go on up, thou wilt win. 295 There was one small prophet that representeth the first harvest; he said, I saw Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. 296 The king hath four hundred anointed prophets — yes, sir — thou hast got one little preacher, one little bitty old church over there; surely he hath not got the truth, nobody is following him. 297 We can go over there to First So-and-So Church, they have got every program — surely that is where God is. 298 Four hundred prophets of God saying, go on up, king, thou art going to win; but there was one prophet that — now I want to ask thee a question. 299 How did this one prophet know that he saw the sheep of Israel scattered like sheep without a shepherd? Because I will tell thee how this prophet knew it — he did not know it by divine inspiration; no. 300 He had heard Elijah prophesy that the dogs would lick Ahab's blood; he had read it in the word; his teachings were right because he had read it in the word — not what he heard in the spirit, but what he had heard from a man of God. 301 The king did not listen; he went up to war, and all perished; thou knowest why? The anointing of four hundred preachers was not enough to change the word of God. 302 Hast thou ever wondered what that little prophet felt like, brother Sylvester? He was the only one telling the truth. 303 I can hear the other four hundred prophets sort of saying — thou thinkest thou art the only one with the truth? Art thou telling us that us four hundred — thou art telling us thou art the only one with the truth? We are all prophets. 304 If I had been that little prophet, I would have said — I do not have the truth; I just read where Elijah said that everybody was going to be destroyed; I am staying with the word. 305 I am sticking with truth in a world of false anointed prophets. 306 Dost thou know that in 2020, when everybody went after that pink-haired prophet, the long-haired prophet, all the other prophets — they went running after him? 307 And I was over there saying the total opposite of what the prophets were saying; what were all the prophets saying? Donald Trump is coming back in two weeks. 308 He is coming back April the nineteenth over on Q; everybody, he will be here — the new Constitution is coming in on the night; JFK is bringing him back; Earnhardt Jr. is bringing him back. 309 But there was a voice of truth that was still on every Tuesday night that said — the lion will roar in 24 — yes, we had the truth. 310 I stood against every one of them prophets; why? I am nobody; but honey, I know this book like I know the back of my hand, and I stake my life on it. 311 And anything I teach, I promise thee, I can back it up; but I stake my life on it — four hundred prophets, false anointed ones. 312 There is something I want to point out here — let me look at the time; yeah, time is gone. 313 All right, let me just try — let us close out with this, shall we? Let us just call this our grand finale closing; we have had four closings — this will be the grand finale closing; and that will carry us to the big home closing. 314 I want to help thee today; I want to teach thee something called ontology versus theology; I want to help thee know how to find truth. 315 Everybody thou knowest of hath a different interpretation of the Bible; everybody get that PDF file ready for me in just a moment. 316 I want to help thee today find truth, and there is only one way thou canst do it — it is with ontology. 317 Most believers today have been taught theology; let me show thee what theology is — theology is when thou readest a verse in the Bible and thou draweth a conclusion of what that verse is saying. 318 That is theology; and if thou art only studying that verse, thou wouldest be right about what it meaneth; but ontology is different than theology. 319 Ontology buildeth a framework; and if the verse thou art reading doth not connect into the framework of the totality of the word of God, then thy interpretation of that verse is wrong. 320 All right, so ontology is the entire structure; let me give thee an example. 321 In my book Before the Beginning — if thou dost not have correct ontology of what happened before the book of Genesis, it is impossible to get any of the Bible right — impossible. 322 And I will show thee why in just a moment; even Satan is a theologian; the Bible said he quoted — it is written; he knoweth the verses, but he doth not know the plan. 323 Wake up, everybody — ontology is the whole structure of the plan of God; without that structure, thou art going to take a verse and interpret it without the structure. 324 When thou doest that — let me give thee an example; when the ontology is correct, the theology will line up. 325 For example, we get to Paul's writings; Paul saith, a woman cannot speak in church, a woman cannot preach; and if thou wantest to prove that a woman cannot preach, all thou hast to do is throw me two verses from Paul. 326 There are two verses where he said, let the women keep silent in the church; that is theology; and thou canst shut down any woman preacher with those two verses of scripture. 327 But if thou art an ontologist like myself, thou wilt not accept those two verses; because first of all, I have never been in a church with women quiet — ever. 328 Even in the churches that say for the women to keep silent, they are still in the choir, they still teach in Sunday school; I have never been in a church where the women are quiet, ever. 329 Okay, so y'all need to chill out; silent meaneth silent; if they have to be silent, they have to be silent — they cannot even testify, they cannot even sing; silent. 330 So right there, I know we have got a problem; so what do I do? I cannot begin with Paul. 331 Let me wake y'all up — I cannot begin with Paul; I have got to build a structure; I have got to go back to the beginning and find the mind of God on that subject. 332 Where is God's mind? In the Torah; well, when I go to Torah, suddenly I see God hath no problem with a woman speaking or leading — that is right, amen. 333 I run into Miriam, who led a nation in prophecy — she was not being silent; then I run into Deborah, who was the president of Israel, leading the whole nation — that is right. 334 So now we have got a problem — we have got a God in the Old Testament that is elevating women, and we have got a God in the New Testament shutting them down. 335 By the way, he is a God that never changeth — except when he doth — he doth not. 336 And then I find Huldah — the king sent the high priest to find the woman Huldah to give him the word of God; he did not want it from the high priest, he wanted it from her; he did not consult one male prophet — he went to a woman. 337 So if I build that ontology up, I run into Paul that saith, let the women not preach; and I say, wait a minute — I know that is not right; I know it; it doth not line up with the God of the Old Testament. 338 So then I read and I said, thou knowest what? Wait a minute — whoa, whoa — what is this in the Greek that I am reading here? 339 Paul saith the law saith that a woman cannot speak; but there is a problem — because the law doth not say that; Paul said, as saith the law. 340 Well, there is only one law — it is called the Torah; Torah — anytime the Torah is being referenced, the Greek word nomos, which is law, will have the word ho in front of it, which is referring to the Torah. 341 But Paul doth not use ho nomos when he saith the law saith; so we know he is not talking about Torah; then we have to ask the question — what law is Paul referring to? 342 He is referring to those Pharisees that created their own culture, their own church law, that said for the women to shut up and be quiet. 343 And so they wrote Paul a letter while he was in prison about these women wanting to preach; and Paul wrote them back and said, yes, the law saith that — for the women to keep silent. 344 And then he maketh fun of them — he saith, what? It is in y'all's Bible — he saith, do what? Dost thou think the word of God came to men only? 345 And then suddenly it will line up with the Torah; everything will line up; he was fighting against another law, not the law — that is right. 346 Every church hath their own traditions; he was fighting against that tradition; and I could go on, and I think I will, because it hath not been four hours yet — I am trying to keep up with brother Branham. 347 What about divorce and remarriage? Oh — thou goest to one church — no divorce allowed; thou goest to another church — they allow divorce but no remarriage; thou goest to another church — they allow it all. 348 There hath got to be truth somewhere — yes, sir; so we get to the New Testament and it looketh like God saith that if a woman is ever divorced, she can never remarry. 349 And if that is all thou lookest at, that is theology — that is right; but then ontology will make thee go pick up my book called Divorce and Remarriage and find the truth. 350 And when thou art reading it, it will all line up for thee — that is ontology; that is the difference. 351 Why am I teaching thee on ontology? I have come to tell thee — if thou wantest to identify false anointed ones, they do not have foundational doctrines right. 352 When the Catholic Church created the doctrine of the Trinity, they overlooked ontology; because Deuteronomy 6, verse 4 said — Hear O Israel, our God is one; not three in one, but one. 353 The only problem with the Trinity — thou wilt not find it in the Old Testament anywhere; no — thou wilt not find the word Trinity anywhere in thy Bible; nobody ever heard that word for four hundred years after Messiah died. 354 That is right; so this Bible college thou goest into, brother Sylvester, they are Trinitarian; so here is what happeneth — thou gettest in their services and thou feelest the anointing, they are anointed. 355 But then they will start feeding thee their poison — yes, sir; brothers and sisters, there shall be a people in the last day that saith — Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one; he is one; there is no other God beside the father Yahweh, none. 356 And now I want to show thee why foundational doctrine is so important; if thy ontology is not right, if the whole picture is not laid out by the ministry of a teacher, thou canst not get the Godhead right — thou canst not. 357 Now, pastor, why did Yeshua tell us to beware of false anointed ones? Here is why — not because thou wilt go to hell; no, no, no. 358 In the coming kingdom of God on earth, what he is bringing out of the graves are teachers — that is right — and they have got to immediately start teaching the truth. 359 And the reason he doth not want thee deceived by false anointed ones is so that when thou comest up in the resurrection, thou hast already learned the truth and thou canst teach the whole world. 360 Can I say something? And I hope I do not know how this is going to go across, but it is what it is — now I am already in the deep water. 361 Yahweh and Yeshua could not care less right now how good thou praisest them; and they honestly do not care if thou canst feel them right now. 362 They need thee to get the teaching right so thou canst teach the world; they need thee to get the understanding right so that when that government cometh, thou art already prepared to teach truth. 363 I am going to show thee a PDF on the screen — I am going to show thee the importance of getting the foundation right; brother Sylvester, the foundation is everything. 364 That is why when people ask me, what is the most important thing thou teachest at thy church? I always tell them — what happeneth to the dead. 365 That is right — they are shocked when I tell them that; dost thou know why they are shocked? Because the whole Christian church hath it wrong. 366 And then the next question cometh — well, pastor, it is just comforting to people; there is no need of making a big deal about it; let me show thee why thou art wrong — because that is a good point, but I am going to show thee why thou art wrong. 367 If thou dost not know what happeneth to the dead, then thou believest a false doctrine called body, soul, and spirit; doth anybody ever hear those words? 368 Every church in this town believeth in the body, the soul, and the spirit; and that is why they believe in the Trinity, because after all they tell thee — thou hast a body, a soul, and a spirit; thou art a trinity. 369 Thou seest — until thou gettest what happeneth to the dead right, thou canst not correct anything else. 370 Now, to get what happeneth to the dead right, what is the first thing thou hast to destroy? The doctrine of the immortal soul. 371 Thou knowest thou grew up being screamed at by the preacher — thy soul is going to live forever somewhere, thou hast a never-dying soul; that is all lies — that is all lies. 372 Because the Bible said — the soul that sinneth shall surely die; thou hast got a soul that is going to live forever? Well, let me tell thee — if thou dost not correct that, people wonder all the time why thou sayest bad doctrine is so important. 373 It is so important that thou wilt not make it in the kingdom if thou dost not get it right, because God cannot trust thee to teach truth to his people. 374 When I slow down and start teaching thee, I am preparing thee for the next government that is coming to this earth; let me prove it to thee. 375 Now I am not going to teach today what happeneth to the dead — I have got a book out there and sermons about it — but if thou dost not know about the soul, thou gettest more false doctrines; let me show thee one. 376 Art thou able to zoom in on that or no? Now what I am about to show thee is an article that somebody wrote on Facebook; I am part of a private group on the Godhead and the Trinity, where I debate for hours on the nature of God and his son. 377 And this is the group I am a member of — Trinity versus Oneness versus Unitarian versus Arian versus Binitarian; I am in that group and I argue for hours with these people. 378 And this man is an intelligent preacher — he is so intelligent — and he wrote this article; and when I read it, I caught myself saying, how anointed that was — it is anointed. 379 The message is wrong; now let me just skip through it — I am not going to read all of it — but what he is arguing for here is the pre-existence of Christ, and boy, doth he ever make an argument about it; is he good? 380 He saith the Greek dualism — I mean, he putteth it all out there to where thou thinkest this man knoweth what he is talking about; he saith, let me be clear — I affirm Yeshua's divinity and I affirm his pre-existence, but what kind of being is Yeshua? 381 He saith, Yeshua is not a blob; I agree with that; he saith, the religious systems of men have trained people to repeat phrases like Yeshua is God or Yeshua is divine without asking the most ontological question — what is Yeshua made of? What aspects constitute his being? 382 And here cometh the false doctrine — they do not distinguish between his spirit, his soul, and his body; now, if thou dost not have a foundation in what happeneth to the dead, thou just failed for false doctrine. 383 Because nobody can write like this man — he is anointed to do it; and he saith to say Yeshua is God is to say a car is an engine or a person is a skeleton; it is a flattening error. 384 Now scroll down — Yeshua's spirit — come back up a little bit; right there — no, go up where it saith Yeshua's spirit — I just saw it right there. 385 Yeshua, watch this — Yeshua's spirit is divine; Yeshua's soul is human; the soul of Yeshua is not eternal, but his spirit is pre-existent. 386 And if thou scrollest all the way through there, when thou art done, here is what thou wilt believe — that no, the man Yeshua was not pre-existent, but his soul and spirit was. 387 Not even his spirit — what is thy spirit? Thy mind; Yeshua had the mind of a man — amen, yes, he did — that is right — until the Holy Spirit in baptism came upon him. 388 But to hear these people, they are separating the three; and dost thou know why everybody falleth for that? They do not know that a man doth not have a soul — thou canst not even use that analogy. 389 It is called ontology — that is right; so they want to say the man was not pre-existent but his soul and his spirit was; first of all, the Bible said there is a spirit in a man put there by God — that spirit only existed in the mind of God, it was not a pre-existent spirit for any of thee. 390 No — and if thou believest it was, thou wilt fall for every false doctrine from the Catholic Church. 391 If thou wantest to protect thyself against error, learn what happeneth to the dead; if thou goest and listenest to my four-hour sermon, What Happens to the Dead, thou wilt understand why Yahweh forbade thee to talk to the dead. 392 Because it is not people thou art talking to — the Bible said the dead knoweth nothing; but without that foundational doctrine, thou wilt fall. 393 And then thou fallest for Trinity — that is right — because God is like us, he hath a father, a son, and a spirit-soul; thou understandest? 394 I encourage every member of this ministry all over the world — get that foundational doctrine to where thou canst debate it with anybody; what dost thou have to prove? That a man doth not have a soul. 395 Thou gettest that right, thou wilt get everything else right; because the Bible said that man became a soul — he was not given a soul. 396 The minute he started to breathe, he was a breathing animal; the word soul is nephesh — a breathing animal; the Bible called the fish in the sea souls — why? They are breathing. 397 It is not a separate entity that escapeth when we die; the only thing that goeth to God when thou diest is thy memories — thy memories. 398 It is being held until the judgment; when thy very mind will condemn thee at the judgment — every idle word is being recorded in thy mind. 399 Hast thou ever wondered how God is going to judge everybody? He doth not — we judge ourselves; it is in our memory. 400 That is why thou art riding down the road, brother Tinio, and suddenly a memory will come back from four years old — why? It is all in there, waiting to judge thee, darling. 401 And when thou diest, those memories, thy personality, everything, goeth back to the father awaiting the resurrection — not some soul, not some ghost. 402 Well, pastor, my mother is watching over me; God help her — that is not resting in peace; my mama is watching me — my Bible said the angels of the Lord are watching me, not mama. 403 Mama is asleep; the Bible said the dead are asleep until the resurrection of the dead. 404 Without this truth, thou wilt fall for a false anointing — that is right; those of thee watching me on Zoom, if thou dost not fall in love with these foundational truths, thou wilt not survive the warning of Messiah. 405 False anointed ones — because everybody on YouTube looketh anointed in a two-minute clip; but thou hadst better listen to those foundational teachings. 406 Let us go home; hallelujah, blessed be the name of the Lord; I came with a warning today against false anointed ones in the end times. 407 Well, brother Branham, I did not make it to the four-hour mark — I am disappointed. 408 For whatever thou hast to do to me, do not let me be lost for eternity; for above all else, I must be saved; for above all else, I must be saved; all forever I must be saved. 409 For whatever thou hast to choose to do, do not let me be lost for eternity; for above all else, I must be saved — I surrender all, I surrender all; oh yes, all to thee my blessed Savior — I surrender all.
