Christ is the Mystery no. 49

This evening we will read from brother Branham's
Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed and pick
up at paragraph 137.
137
Oh, it just shows... What is it? It's a hybrid condition. Look here. You take a
big fine grain of corn that's hybrid; and you take that hybrid corn. It's a
pretty corn. But you plant it. What do you get? A little stalk comes up like
this and turns yellow and wilts down. That's the way every denomination is when
it's hybrid with man's words mixed with God's Word. It'll come up to
the signs and wonders and what Jesus said about believing the Word, and it
turns yellow and say, "We can't accept it," and go back.
Now, notice that there
seems to be some sort of line and if you cross that line you are opposed by the
intellectuals. And that line is the signs and wonders. The problem is that most
people come up to the sign but they refuse to receive the voice of the sign. This evening we see brother Branham talk about the
signs and wonders but what exactly is it that the people reject concerning
them.
From his sermon Who is This Melchisedec
65-0221E 160 brother Branham said, "Now, look at them down there in
Notice he said, “the church
has got it's last sign before the whole world's going to be destroyed.” And
he also said, “But
then where's that Royal Seed of Abraham? Where is their sign,” and he went on…”the last sign before the Gentile
world was destroyed by fire?”
Now, in order to understand what this is all about
that he is speaking to us, we must first ask ourselves, what is a sign. And so we find our answer in Webster’s Collegiate
Dictionary.
SIGN: from
Latin signum meaning a: mark, a token, a sign, an
image, a seal; something by which a thought or command can be expressed.
Therefore, it is not the thing itself, but the
expression of a thought or message behind the sign that we are to look for.
That expression of the sign is called “the voice of the sign.”
Brother Branham spoke about the importance of the
voice behind the sign, and even preached a message less than a year after
preaching the Seals called the Voice of the Sign,
Go Tell 60-0417M 112 we can see signs and wonders, but we watch
what voice the sign has.
Go Tell 60-0417M 113 Oh, hallelujah, the voice of the sign...
God told Moses, "If they won't hear the voice, the voice of the first
sign, then they'll hear the voice of the second sign." Not so much the
sign, but the voice went with it.
Exodus
4:1 ¶
And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will
say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. 2 And the LORD said unto him, What [is] that in thine hand? And
he said, A rod. 3 And he said, Cast it on the ground.
And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from
before it. 4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine
hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it
became a rod in his hand: 5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their
fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath
appeared unto thee. 6 And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his
bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand [was]
leprous as snow. 7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into
his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned
again as his [other] flesh. 8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the
first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
Queen
of
Voice
of the Sign 64-0214 45 Now, we find out here the burning bush was a sign. It was given to attract the attention of
Moses. Now, that's what God gives a
sign for, is to attract the attention of the people. That's what a sign is
for: to attract attention. And when we go down through the Scripture here, as
we teach it now for a few minutes, and find out if that isn't so, that He gives these signs to attract attention.
And then, when He gets the attention of
the people, then the voice of the sign begins to speak. Jesus healed the
sick to attract attention. See? Then, when He
begin to preach... See, always it attracts
attention. 47 The burning bush was given to Moses to attract the runaway prophet's
attention, and he turned aside to see what it was. Then the sign gave a voice. The
sign itself gave a voice. Now, these voices and signs are to alert the
people of God's Word is just about ready to be vindicated. Always the sign is to attract the attention of people.
Then what about the Epiphanaea
that took place at the
What good does the Parousia
of Christ do for those who do not know it. So God gives
us a sign to attract the attention of the people. That’s His epiphany, or Epiphanaea. It means a shining forth. An illumination and
the purpose of the illumination the Light, the Pillar of Fire coming down was
to get the attention of the people. Why, Because the
sign has a Voice.
Look, every sign has a voice behind it, because the
purpose of a sign is two fold.
#1) It is to get the
attention of the people.
#2) Once the attention is
held, then there is a voice, a Message that the sign declares. That’s the whole
purpose of the sign.
Look at a stop sign, it is
shaped a certain way so that it will stand out as different from other signs.
Look at it’s coloring. It is Red with a white outside
stripe around it’s perimeter, so when you see it you
are attracted to it. And notice it has a Voice, a message and that message is
for you to STOP.
We have many signs on the road. Signs to yield, sign
to watch for train crossings, or deer crossings, or signs to be cautious, or
road signs telling you how far to a certain place, or speed signs or exit
signs. I have listed many signs we see every day on our highways, and if you
will notice each one has a message, or a voice declaring a certain thought that
is wanted to be expressed. So we should be able to recognize that every sign
has a voice, and the purpose of the sign is to get you to listen to that voice.
Now, brother Branham preached the message Voice of the Sign
quite a few times. And in particular from the one he preached on 64-0214 and paragraph 55
he is talking about Moses being attracted to the sign of the burning bush. And
he said, “There, watch real
close now. He is going to speak, so He has
to attract the attention by a sign. And the sign's voice is what He's going to say. His Word... His
promised Word's going to be vindicated now. See? "I made a promise that I
would take them out by a strong hand, I'd show My
power in that land" and whatever He's going to do. Now, He made the
promise to Abraham. Here He is ready to do it, so He gives a sign, a Pillar of Fire laying back in a burning bush. And
He tells Moses, "Now, you're going to be My
mouthpiece. Go on down there and I'll be with you." And when he got
down there, then the promised Word that He had promised was vindicated. That was the voice of the sign. You
get it now? Notice, "I have heard their groans. I remember My promise."
57
God never changes. He always does it in the same way. The coming of a prophet is a sign that God
is ready to speak. Now, search the Scriptures. See? The Bible says, God
said Himself He did nothing until He revealed it to His prophets. That's right.
He does it through them, because it comes to them; that's His servants, you
know. All right. The coming of a prophet is a sign
that's overlooked by the people every time. They overlook it. They never get it somehow, 'less it's
those who got their eyes open to see it. Those who are elected to see it, does
see it. But the coming of a prophet was
the sign that God is ready to speak, 'cause if God ain't going to speak, the prophet
wouldn't be on earth. Now, remember
that. He wouldn't be on earth,
unless God was ready to speak. And that's the way He speaks is through
those channels. The unchanging God never did do it any other way.
I remember the 1982 convention Brother Vayle held in
59 Notice. This is always God's way of making His
voice known to His people. He sends His prophet and gives a sign, and then
takes His voice that's been spoken before on His Word, and vindicates it by
this man; and they know that it's His voice, because it's a promised Word of
the day. Oh, if people could only see
that. If they could only stop just a moment and realize
that... You see, there's no way to make them believe it. There's not
a way a man... God himself can't do it, make the people believe it. They've got
to believe it. And if there's nothing there to believe with, how can they
believe? See? No matter what you do... The Bible said, "Though He had done
so many miracles, yet they could not believe," because Isaiah foresaw it,
and said, "They got ears and they can't hear, eyes and can't see."
And yet He was perfectly the Messiah, done exactly what the Messiah said. And
they said, "This man just breaks up churches, and he... We don't know from
whence he comes." See? Isn't that strange, that they would do that? But
the Bible said they would do it.
61 And the Bible also said in this day they'd
do the same thing: "Heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than of
God, false accusers, incontinent, despisers of those that are good; having a
form of godliness, but would deny the vindicated Word, the power thereof, the
baptism of the Holy Ghost, and so forth. From such turn away.
For this is the kind that organizes women's societies, and goes house-to-house,
and leads silly women, lade away with divers lusts, and never able to come to
the knowledge of the truth." See? Now, that's prophesied. And that's got
to come to pass because it's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Notice.
"But their folly would be showed up as Jambres
and Jannes in the last days."
62
Now, always making known His voice to His people by His prophet sign...
Now, I'm talking about Moses. That's where I'm banking back, and then see where
we're at. God's Word is manifested by the voice of the sign. Now, the sign that
is promised for the day is done before the people. And then the written
Scripture comes forth is the voice of that sign. If it doesn't give a Scriptural voice, then stay away from it. See?
It's not God, 'cause God can't promise this for today, and say, "Well,
this is it." See? God cannot do that. God cannot promise something for one
day and say, "No, no. It won't do that. That was for another day."
What He promises, He must stay with it. And the real Scriptural sign is the
Scriptural voice.
Voice
of the Sign 64-0214 89
Notice, the Pillar of Fire sign,
and then the voice of the sign spoke. See? The Pillar... Sign of the voice
was there, ready to speak. The sign only
showed that the voice was ready to speak. Get the idea? The sign shows God's voice is ready to
speak.
Now, notice this is the case every time the Pillar of
Fire came. First it was scene in a bush by Moses, and then when Moses was
attracted to it, he heard the Voice of the sign and it was the voice of God,
who is the Word. The
same with Paul. He saw the Pillar of Fire and then he heard the Voice of
the Sign speak unto him. The same in this day when the Pillar of Fire came down
on the
Voice
of the Sign 64-0214 154
Now, notice, Jesus' first ministry... Oh, they all--everybody wanted Him
in their church. Oh, my. He's a great Fellow. Sure, He went in all the
synagogues, read the scrolls, and set down. Everybody, "Young
rabbi..."But one day He begin to talk to them in another way. The voice
of the sign begin to speak. And when the voice of the
sign begin to speak, nobody wanted Him. One of them said, "This
man's crazy. He's a cannibal, trying to make cannibal out of all of us."
See? He never explained it. Let them go.
Notice here that Brother Branham is telling us
something else about this Voice of the Sign. He is telling us that not everyone
can receive it. It is not for everyone. And so it must be rejected by those who
do not want the voice of the sign.
Voice
of the Sign 64-0321E
E-33 Notice, sign. What does a sign do? The
sign is to attract the attention, and get the elected ready and out of the way
before judgment strikes. That's what Noah did, got the elected ready. The
rest of them... And what does it do? The sign and the voice of the sign condemns the unbeliever
and gets him ready for judgment. It
gets the elected ready for the escape. That's what sign is. That's what
signs are given for, for the coming judgment.
E-34 To the elected, they see it, like the
little woman with a pure heart in a defiled body, and the Pharisee with a pure
body and a defiled heart. It condemned one and saved the other one. And the
very judgment that saved Moses, condemned the world,
his preaching. It gets the elected ready. What's the elected ready for? When
they see a God sent sign, they look back in the Scripture and see if that's
supposed to be there. "Yeah, here it is. What is it? Pending
judgment." Then the elected
listens to the voice. But the
unelected ignores and says, "Nonsense. Go on. We'll take the same old
school." That's the way they did in the days of Luther. That's the way
they did in the days of Wesley. That's the way they do now, way they've always
done. But it is a sign, and it has a
voice that follows the sign. And the voice is identified as a Scriptural voice.
Now, don't forget that. I keep that going in, because I may never
see you again. I wished I had a way that I could come down here somewhere, and
get all my brethren when they had no revivals going on, put a tent up, and just
set day after day, and teach it till it really soaked in. But He wouldn't
permit that, I don't think. See, we're too close to the end.
Now, this is important that we see here what brother
Branham is saying. He tells us that all will see the sign, but only the elected
will be open to the voice of that sign. And because they believe the Voice of
the Sign it is salvation to them, but those who turn it down, judgment is all
that is left for them. Therefore, the Voice of the Sign is for our benefit to
rescue us and get us ready for deliverance. That’s what it was for in Moses
day, and that’s what it was for in Paul’s day. Then if God does not change, why
do we think it would be any different in our day when the same Pillar of Fire
has come with the same sign as He did with Moses and Paul.
God
Who is rich in Mercy 65-0119
191 Moses was given two signs, and each sign
had a voice. That's right. I preached on
it here sometime ago, somewhere, on "The Voice Of
The Sign." It must have a Voice of the sign. It's a changing. Always
it's that way. If it isn't, then it
didn't come from God. If a
man comes out with an odd peculiar ministry, that's found in the Bible to be
the Truth, and that man stays right in that same old denominational doctrine,
forget it. Nothing to it. God don't do a thing like
that. That thing, that's rotten manna that's got
termites in it, or wiggletails, or whatever you want
to call it, from forty, fifty years ago, still trying to eat that old manna
that fell way back years ago. And the children of
Then why do men keep preaching the same old
denominational doctrines and claim to believe the sign. They see the prophet,
so they see the sign, but why do they keep preaching the same old watered down
doctrine that they held back in Pentecost?
The
Token 64-0308 77
He displayed His sign as Messiah, and so forth. And they, many of them, said,
"Yes, I could go for that." Well, now, if that was a sign, there's got to be a voice of that sign.
What was the voice behind it? When He begin to teach
His doctrine and call them a bunch of snakes in the grass, He wasn't
popular from then on (See?) when the voice came with the sign. The sign went
first.
Notice what Brother Branham just said here. The voice behind the sign is the doctrine.
But they do not want the doctrine, therefore, they do
not accept the Voice of the sign. They
claim they want the Word of God but they do not want the doctrine. A big
shot so called in this message was talking to a young man I know and he said,
why don’t you Lee Vayle guys believe in doing mission
work, and the young man replied, well, brother Brian Kocourek
does, and we support what he is doing, what about that? And that So called big
shot said, “Oh he doesn’t preach the Message, he only goes to teach Doctrine.”.
And the Young man told me, he said, “I thought to myself, What
is the message if it isn’t the doctrine? But you can’t argue with these guys
because they do not believe the voice of the sign.
Lean
not to your own understanding 65-0120 190 Lean not to your own understanding. And after
the sign went forth, and the Voice
following, and the churches begin to turn me down and close their doors upon
doctrine, that any of them is daresn't to stand
before me to say it's right or wrong. I challenge any of them. Uh-huh. Not to
be smart, but I know where I'm at. See? That's right. What did they do? What
did they do? They shut every door. "Now, what are you going to do?"
Notice again that brother Branham tells us that the
church turned down the voice which is the doctrine.
Meanest
man in town 62-0127 E-21
Oh, I would've loved to have been there to listen to that. No doubt, I
believe that every person here would've longed to be there, to hear what He had
to say, listen to His doctrine, what
His doctrine was, how He expressed Himself, and what type of a voice He had;
and look upon His face and to see Him performing His works, and discerning the
thoughts of the people, and telling them of different things and diseases they
had, and pronouncing them healed. I would've loved to have been there. Oh, my.
I would like to have seen that.
You know, these churches claim to believe the Word of
God, yet they turn down the doctrine which is the voice of the Sign. Did you
know what the definition of the word Logos is? It
is the word that is used in John 1:1 in
the Beginning was the WORD, the Logos, and the Word, the Logos was with
God and the Word, the Logos was God. 3056 Now, the word logos means -- Word or speech, a
word uttered by a living voice, which embodies a conception or idea It
also means 1b) a
decree, a mandate an order -- what is declared, a thought, declaration, aphorism,
a weighty saying, a dictum, a maxim, and
it also means 1c)
discourse – instruction, DOCTRINE, and
teaching.
Therefore, we can say of
John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Doctrine and the Doctrine was with God and
the Doctrine was God.”
And this same John wrote also in 1 John 1:1 I JOHN 1:1¶ That
which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our
eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Doctrine of life; 2 (For the life was
manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and shew
unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto
us;) 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may
have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and
with his Son Jesus Christ.
That is why God said, DEUTERONOMY 32:1 ¶ Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will
speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2My
doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the
small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because the rain gives life to the
herbs of the field.
PROVERBS
16:15 In the light of the king's countenance [is] life; and his favour [is] as a cloud of the latter rain.

Hebrews
6:1 ¶ Therefore leaving
the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not
laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward
God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of
resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit.
4 For [it is] impossible for those who
were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the
powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again
unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and
put [him] to an open shame. 7 For the
earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon
it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it
is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8 But
that which beareth thorns and briers [is] rejected,
and [is] nigh unto cursing; whose end [is] to be burned.
Abraham's
Grace Cocenant 61-0317 E-11 You're either a believer or
not a believer. Now, listen to Scripture. The
man or woman that comes to a fact of the Bible, comes
up against the Scriptural doctrine...
Ministers, whoever you are, I say this with Godly love, and you see it, and know it is the truth, and turn away from it,
"there remaineth
no more sacrifice for sin, but a fearful looking for the judgment, the fiery
indignation which shall devour the adversaries.
Jude
1:12These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast
with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds
[they are] without water (No
rain, no doctrine), carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth,
without fruit (and remember the fruit is the teaching of the season,
therefore these are they without a teaching of the season, because they have no
rain, no doctrine), twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming
out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness
for ever.
Isaiah
28:8 For all tables are full of vomit
[and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean]. 9 ¶ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine?
Notice the
Isaiah 28:8 NIV All the tables
are covered with vomit and there is not a spot without filth. 9 "Who is it he is trying to teach? To
whom is he explaining his message?
Lamsa: Isaiah 28: 89 For all tables are full of
vomit and filthiness, so that
there is no place clean. To whom shall he teach
knowledge, and whom shall he make
to understand the report.
Those who are
weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts. For filth is
upon filth, filth upon filth,
vomit upon vomit, vomit upon vomit; a little here, a little
there; For with difficult speech and
with an alien tongue will he
speak to this people. For I have
said to them, This is the place
of my rest wherewith I may cause
the weary to rest, and this is the
place of tranquility; but they
would not listen. So their Word of the Lord
was to them filth upon filth, filth upon filth vomit upon vomit vomit
upon vomit a little
here little there that they might return
and fall backwards an be broken
and snared and taken.
And that is exactly what happens to those who turn
down the Voice of the Sign. They go backwards as hard as they can back into
Pentecost where they came out from. And notice what they do. They look for more
signs because they did not listen to the Voice of the Sign.
Matthew
7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had
ended these sayings, the people were
astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as [one] having
authority, and not as the scribes.
Now the word
astonished here does not mean to be amazed as though you heard this wonderful
thing. It comes from the Greek word, 1605 ekplesso {ek-place'-so} and means to be so amazed and astonished that
you to strike out ,or try to expel by a blow,or drive out or
away; to cast off by a blow, to drive out; to strike with panic, shock, astonish;
to be struck with amazement, astonished, amazed. So you see this suggests
rejection, not acceptance.
Mark
11:18 And the scribes and chief priests
heard [it], and sought how they might
destroy him:
But whose Doctrine was it?
Because if you know whose doctrine it is then you will know whose Voice it is.
John
7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My
doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man will do his will, he
shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or
[whether] I speak of myself. 18 He that speaketh of
himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no
unrighteousness is in him.
II
John 1: 9 Whosoever transgresseth,(the word here for transgresseth
means to go beyond the limits) and abideth not in the doctrine of
Christ, hath not God. (Now, this is very important because if we do
not have the doctrine of Christ we do not even have God, so we must ask
ourselves what is the Doctrine of Christ, and John gives us our answer.) He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. (Therefore
if you have a doctrine of Christ and it does not have BOTH the Father and Son
in it, you have not God.)10 ¶ If there come any unto you, and bring not
this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed: That’s
pretty strong John, but there is a good reason why he said this, because a
little leaven will leaven the whole lump. And leaven is the doctrine of the
Pharisees which rejected the Son of God.

363-12 But as a church and as a peoples, a congregation, we have to have a doctrine that we stand
for in order to be a church. And this doctrine that we stand for, is the best
of our knowledge to the Word of God, the Truth of God.
But the fact
is that every church has a doctrine whether they want to admit it or not. And
they thought Jesus had a wrong spirit because of the way he hit theirs.

These orthodox people who were casting down Jesus, casting down the
policy and saying it was no good, it could not be trusted... He
was a man making Himself God; He was a Beelzebub; He was a wild man; He had no
background; He was illegitimately born; He didn't go to their schools; He
wasn't educated in their seminaries; He
was against their doctrine; He was tearing up their churches; and His doctrine was hindering the people: that's what He was claimed to do.

Branham is a prophet when he is under the Spirit of discernment," but
said, "Oh, his doctrine is poison;
be careful with it." I thought of an educated man would say a thing like
that. What does a "prophet" mean? "A Divine
interpreter of the Word." The Word of the Lord came to the prophet.

beginning of the church age, and to see how the apostles, the doctrines, and
things that they taught, and the principles of the Bible, and then to see that
church, about the second round of apostles, how it begin to fade away: the real, true teaching. The third
round, getting way away; by the fourth round it had faded out into a--a
lukewarm. The church brought forth a lukewarm church.

Red Light of His Coming 63-0623E 137 But today they don't want to hear a message

there, said to, "Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season, for the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall heap for themselves
together teachers, having itching ears, and shall be turned from the truth to
fables." Said, "When the vision leaves you read II Timothy 4." Said, "Don't forget II Timothy 4." And when the vision
left me, standing right there on 7th Street, a nineteen year old boy standing
there, the voice of God spoke out in the room, and He said, "II Timothy
4." That's exactly what it's turned to be.
138 The time will come when they'll not endure sound doctrine. People want
something... The Pentecostals want something that can pat them on the back and
let them live the way they want to, and they can play the piano at forty
beats per second, and jump up-and-down and dance about it, and women do the way
they want to and men the same way.
Ashamed
of Him 65-0711 225 As Paul told Timothy, let's be instant in
season, out of season; reproving and rebuking, with all long-suffering and
doctrine. For the time will come when
they'll not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall heap for
themselves together teachers, having itching ears, and will be turned from the
truth to fables. God, we're living in that day. You've let me live long enough
to see that happen.

the Lord gave me what I should do in my Message. But then He said, "Do the work of an evangelist; make full
proof of your ministry, for the hour will arrive when they will not endure
sound doctrine." If that hasn't come now! Every church denomination has turned me down, they wouldn't endure
sound doctrine. "But after their own lusts they'll bring their own
teachers in, and they'll be turned into fables. And they will do great things
of exploits like Jambres and Jannes
that withstood Moses, but their folly will be made manifest." See, see? All right, impersonations.

6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to
obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness? 17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants
of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that
form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18 Being then made free from sin,
ye became the servants of righteousness.

Timothy 4:1 ¶ I
charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge
the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be
instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all
longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will
come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall
they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall
turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the
work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to
be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good
fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there
is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous
judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also
that love his appearing.
