MATTHEW 11:12And from the days of John the Baptist until

now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

7/5/15THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD 5

John: MATTHEW 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Jesus: MATTHEW 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Disciples: MATTHEW 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.


THINGS.THAT.ARE.TO.BE54 And all this modern civilization that we live in is

of the Devil. The Bible says it is; this world, every government. We don't want to believe that. But the Bible plainly states it, that every government, every kingdom of the earth, is owned by the Devil and ruled by the Devil. Jesus was taken by Satan, up, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world that was, would be, what more. And Satan claimed them, and Jesus never argued with him, because he is the god of this world.

And he said, "I'll give them to You if You'll fall down and worship me.” He was trying to give them over to Jesus, without sacrifice. It was a bargain that he was going to make Him.

MATTHEW 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord,

Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my

Father which is in heaven.


EXPERIENCES16 (Jude 4)Foreordained of old to this

condemnation, God foreordained it to them; like Pharaoh, Judas Iscariot, and many of them. Don't tramp on God's property. If God's give you a tug at your heart's door, be the most thankful person there is in this building tonight, to know that God's give you the privilege to come into His Kingdom, and knocked at your heart's door, and sought you out. You might be one of them out there, that's on the outside of the Kingdom tonight.

GOD.IDENTIFYING.HIMSELF.BY.HIS.CHARACTERISTICS

124 (Malachi 4) He promised it. Jesus said, Luke 17, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man is being revealed." When the revelation is unfolding itself, in the days when the world will be like Sodom, what will it be?

The characteristic of that Scripture being fulfilled. God identifying Himself by His characteristic, characteristics that He has always been. He cannot leave that.

Herod the Great“King of the Jews”

King of Judea from 37 to 4 BC.This title was bestowed by Rome, he was only partly Jewish. He was not part of the Davidic family line.

He restored the Temple in Jerusalem but also built many pagan temples. His suspicious and jealous nature led to the murder of several of his children and one wife Mariamne. He constantly worried about losing the royal title because it was bestowed.


GOD'S.GIFTS.ALWAYS.FIND.THEIR.PLACES48 …And Herod killed the children from two

years old... so that he'd be sure to get Him, anywhere from two years old back. He didn't want to kill too many, 'cause they were more like slaves to him. He wanted to be sure to get Him, so he said, "The Kid will be about two years old. So, everything from two years old down, kill it.“

And that's brought to pass the prophecy, "In Rama there'd be heard weeping; that Rachel weeping for her children, and they were not.”

WE.HAVE.SEEN.HIS.STAR.AND.HAVECOME.TO.WORSHIP.HIM

35 Herod, nothing but a murderer, killed all those little children, that it might be fulfilled which was spoke of the Lord by the prophet. See, there had to be a murderous king to fulfill that prophecy that was spoke many hundred years beforehand. But, when God speaks a Word by His prophet, It has to come to pass if It's God's Word. No matter how long It lingers, It'll still come to pass because It's a Seed… And now this murderous king had to be at that time, to kill those children.

36 Another thing is, just at that very time, that he had to raise taxes on the people. And, in doing that, that forced Joseph and his wife (his espoused wife, Mary) to be forced back into Bethlehem. God knows how to do things. He'll even make the works of the enemy praise Him. When, we think sometimes it's all "we got to do this and do that" to make the clock tick just right. God's timepiece is ticking perfectly, and Jesus will be here right on time. He won't be one second behind. Everything will happen just exactly the way God said it would.


38 ...How many of the priests probably cursed Herod at that time, in the Name of the Lord! How many stood up, probably secretly, said, "Oh, this Roman, if we could get a hold of him, we'd do so-and-so," not knowing it was working exactly according to God's plan.

39 Sometimes, today, we curse Communism and all these things. Which, I guess, it deserves it. But if you only knew the truth, it's working exactly in God's hand, to do just exactly what He said it would do. He's got to raise up something to take Babylon off the earth, and He's got the instrument in His hands. You just read the Scripture...


COLOSSIANS 1:12-16Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us

meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

MATT. 2:13And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the

Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

PALMERWORM.LOCUST.CANKERWORM...179 There was one time before the foundation of

the world, I was eternal, when God thought of me. I was thought of before the foundation of the world; my name was put in the Lamb's Book of Life, and so was yours before there was even one grain of sand... Then in God's thinking we were borned right then into His Kingdom.

And one day there come a body through a holy wedlock, my father and mother. And they sired me, and here I come, William Branham, represented in a body of flesh.


Now, you know me as William Branham, a man. God knowed me as William Branham, a thought in His Own mind and an expression.

181 What is a word? A word is a thought expressed. When He spoke and said, "Let him come," I come. When He says, "Let him come again," I'll come again. Yes, sir. It's a thought. A word is a thought expressed.

...When He expresses it, it happens. "Let there be," and there was. There's God, the omnipotent, all-powerful, almighty Jehovah. Now, He's represented.

I KINGS 10:4-9And when the queen of Sheba had seen all

Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built, 5 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her. 6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.


7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard. 8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.


I KINGS 10:3-73 When the queen of Sheba saw for herself

Solomon’s extensive wisdom, the palace he had built, 4 the food in his banquet hall, his servants and attendants in their robes, his cupbearers in their robes, and his burnt sacrifices which he presented in the Lord’s temple, she was amazed. 5 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your wise sayings and insight was true! 6 I did not believe these things until I came and saw them with my own eyes. Indeed, I didn’t hear even half the story! Your wisdom surpasses what was reported to me. 7 Your attendants, who stand before you at all times and hear your wise sayings, are truly happy!

NEV


THE.QUEEN.OF.SHEBA24 Now, Jesus was exhorting them, in saying the

queen of Sheba, the queen of the south come from the utmost parts of the known world to hear the wisdom of Solomon... And when God ever gives a gift, He manifests it. And perhaps maybe it become known throughout the world of them days: of Solomon's gift.

The nations begin to learn of it. Great things begin to take place, and all the people with one heart and one accord begin to, "Yes, Lord, we thank You, because we see this gift made real. And surely then, that Jehovah is still for us if He'll send us a gift like that."


So after Israel was convinced, they never separated in little cults, but with one accord they give witness to the gift. And then the outside world begin to hear of it. And everyone who passed by, somebody testified and said, "Oh, Jehovah is with us, for He has given us a great gift in our day. And we all rally around it, and we're more prosperous than we ever were." And that was the golden age of the Jews.

Oh, how He has blessed us, physically, spiritually, financially. He'll always do it, if you'll rally around Him. He's God.

CHURCH.AGE.BOOK 80-2 "Seven golden candlesticks." In Exodus

25:31, it says, "And thou shalt make a candlestick of PURE gold; of BEATEN work shall the candlestick be made; his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same."

The true church of Jesus Christ, the bride, is likened to PURE gold. Her righteousness is HIS righteousness. Her attributes are HIS own glorious attributes. Her identity is found in Him. What He is, she is to reflect. What He has, she is to manifest. There is no fault in her. She is all glorious within and without. From beginning to ending she is the work of her Lord, and all His works are perfect.


SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED368 You got to be born, not joined; a new

creature, yes, in His Own image, of His kind, to be His expressed Word on earth. Now, Jesus was God's expressed Word... Then what are we to be? Sons of God, too, with the expressed Word in the Church, carrying on. That's the mystical Body of Christ, carrying on the same works that Jesus did when He was here on earth. That's the kind after His kind.


369 Now, you can have the Lutheran kind after the Lutheran, the Methodist kind after the Methodist, the Catholic kind after the Catholic, the Pentecostal kind after its kind, the Oneness after its, the Trinity after its.

370 But if you're God's kind, that's different, see, you're the expressed image of the Word making Itself manifest.

62-0318


WHAT.IS.THE.HOLY.GHOST51 That's what the Holy Spirit is. It's your

Assurance; your Protection; your Witness; your Seal; It's your Sign, that I'm heaven bound. Don't care what the devil says, I'm heaven bound. Why? He sealed me; He gave It to me. He sealed me into His Kingdom, and I'm Glory bound.

Let the winds blow; let Satan do what he wants to; God's done sealed me till the day of my redemption. Amen. That's what the Holy Ghost is. Oh, you should want It; I couldn't go on without It.
