God’s Only Provided Place of

and St. Paris,
A
Seed for Every Season
Proverbs 16: 15 In the light of the Kings Presence is Life, and His favor
is as the Cloud in the Latter rain.
This Message tonight is one that I brought to my
people in
In pp. 225 Brother Branham said, " I Corinthians 12 says, "By one Spirit." Spirit
of God, which is the Life-giver to the Word (the Seed), to vindicate
that Seed for that season. See?"
Again in pp. 226 he spoke of the different
moves of the Holy Spirit through the church ages and he said, " it
taken the Holy Spirit to make that seed come to life " and purify the church by
sanctification;
Then
again he said in pp. 227
"But by one Spirit we're all
baptized into one Body," and that Body is a family, the family of God.
Again in pp. 229 he reemphasized this thought and said in quoting God's Word, "I have chose to put My Name at the door
of the house of My worship, for My family will be gathered in there
under the Blood; like it was in Egypt, anything outside died. And in there, there's no leavened
bread! There's no denominational mixture in It
anywhere, My house! My children, borned of My genes!"
Amen! Glory to God! "My genes are
in them! I put My Word in them. I will write them upon the tables of
their heart. That's My
family, the family of the Body of Jesus Christ; the family.
Then in pp. 231 - 233 He said, "And if you
was just baptized in water right, and then
deny the Word, then you're illegitimate;
your birth wasn't correct. You claim that you believed Him then, and
you deny Him. How could I deny my
family? When... How could I deny Charles Branham being
my father? A blood test on the door
shows it. Uh-huh. My action, and the
vindication of God's Word in my life shows whether I'm a child of God or not.
Now, there's God's only place. See it? The only place that God will receive
your sacrifice (I don't care how sincere you are) is in Christ.
Now what
I would like to draw from these statements is this.
#1 ) There is a Seed for every season.
What do we mean, "a seed
for every season?" Well first we
must ask ourselves what we mean by the word seed. What is a seed? Webster says it is the "source, origin, or beginning of anything. A carrier of Life.
"There is a Seed for every season" What is a
seed? A Seed is a carrier of Life. And
it speaks of predestination, because everything that seed will ever manifest in
it's life cycle it already has in it. Every attribute, every characteristic, every expression.
That is why a seed is the purest form of predestination.
When I asked my youngest daughter what predestination
was she said, “it’s like a watermelon seed. If you
plant the seed it will bring up a water melon. That girl at 5 years old
understands predestination better than most preachers do.
Br. Vayle
commented to me "the bride must come to
a place where they have no contrary thought from what was vindicated and
revealed to us." We won't go back
to previous thought that were in error, but we immediately go to God thoughts"
Luke 1: 19 - 20 And the angel
answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and
am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these
glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the
day that these things shall be performed, because thou Believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in
their season.
Mark 4: 14 The Sewer seweth the Word.
& Luke
John 1: 1 - 4, In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with
God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that
was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the
light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not.
Notice verse 5 darkness does not
comprehend it. ( katalambano = to take eagerly, to seize upon and possess, to apprehend and
comprehend. Here we are talking about Life and it says,
that darkness will not seize upon it, they won't apprehend it.
John 6: 63 - 66 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are
life. Notice how that just after He
informed them Eternal Life is in His Word, they left.
Genesis 1: 11 (read) And God said,
Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree
yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and
it was so Now before the Seed was sowed and planted, the ground
had be made ready. Genesis
1: 1 - 11, notice, Light first, Water next then life. Now in Scripture we know that light represents the
Word as we have already seen, and so does water. 1 - 10 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth
was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be
light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God
divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the
darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it
divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the
waters which [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the
firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening
and the morning were the second day. And God said, Let
the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the
dry [land] appear: and it was so. And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the
gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and
God saw that [it was] good.
1 Corinthians 15: 37 - 44 But some [man]
will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what
body do they come? [Thou] fool, that
which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest
not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some
other [grain]: But God giveth it a body as it hath
pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh [is] not the same flesh:
but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of
fishes, [and] another of birds. [There
are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the
celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another. [There is] one glory of the sun, and another
glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory. So also [is] the
resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in
incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised
in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural
body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a
spiritual body. Notice here that the scripture tells us
the seed must be sewn and the form it eventually takes is not what is sewn.
Matthew 13: 36 - 43 Then Jesus sent
the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him,
saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and
said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the
Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the
kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; The enemy that
sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers
are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so
shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his
angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and
them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a
furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of
their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Again we see a seed being sewn at a specific season in
which case this is marked out as being the end of the world. So we must have a
season. A sewing season and a reaping or harvest season.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1 To every [thing there is] a season, and a time
to every purpose under the heaven:
So if everything has a season, we
must ask ourselves this question? What
season are we in? What is my season? Why am I here? What is my end?
1 Peter 1: 3 - 7 Blessed [be]
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant
mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept
by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the
last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice,
though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold
temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of
gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire,
might be found unto praise and honour and glory at
the appearing of Jesus Christ: now
notice verse 5, the WUEST translation says, "You who are constantly being kept guarded by the power of God
through Faith, for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in a last season
which is epochal and strategic in it's significance. " again
notice verse 6 & 7, the trials will
produce in you a crop that is in the image of the Life of the Original seed.
Hebrews 6: 4 - 8 For it is
impossible for those who have been once for enlightened, those who have tasted
of the Heavenly gift and have been made companions of the Holy Ghost Himself
being brought longside and made aware of His
presence, by tasting the goodness of God's Vindicated Word and have been
exposed to the Powers of the coming age,
having fallen away and deviated from the truth, it is impossible for them to ever
come to a change of the mind again, seeing that they have crucified themselves
along with the Son of God, and have subjected Him to public disgrace. Now
catch carefully what Paul says right after this... For the land that drinks in the rain (doctrine) that often falls upon
it and that produces a crop that is useful to those who have sewn it ( And
who did the sewing?, the Son of Man) it
is this land which produces the crop which receives the blessings from God. But
the land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless to the one who sewed
the land and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
Psalm 1: 1 - 3 Blessed [is]
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth
in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful. But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he
meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of
water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his
leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. So we see here that there is a fruit
that is to be brought forth in it's season.
Matthew 21: 33 - 43 Hear another
parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged
it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and
built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: And
when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen,
that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants,
and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other
servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all
he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence
my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on
his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and
slew [him]. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do
unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those
wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall
render him the fruits in their seasons.
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become
the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous
in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The
Psalm 145 : 15
- 16 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest
them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine
hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
Galatians 6: 7 - 9 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For
he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of
the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint
not.
2 John 8 - 9 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have
wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He
that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both
the Father and the Son.
Do not loose that which we have sewn for, you
must abide in the doctrine to reap.
#2) God sends
His Spirit forth to quicken that Seed.
1 Peter
Psalm 119:25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy
word. 37 Turn away
mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and] quicken thou me in thy way. 40 Behold, I have longed after thy
precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.:50 This [is] my
comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. :88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness;
so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for
with them thou hast quickened me.:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O
LORD, according unto thy word.:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness:
O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken
me according to thy word.:156 Great [are] thy
tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.:159 Consider how
I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
Why?
Psalm 80: 18 So we will not go back from thee: quicken us,
and we will call upon thy name.
He says here, so that we might walk in His word, and
come into manifestation of who we really are. Son's
and daughters of God Himself. * The Gene Seed of God will come to fruition and God's Word will not be sewn and then come
up empty in His predestinated Gene Seed because He is Here to bring all His
Word to pass. Phillipians
1: 6 and how does he perform it?
Unrecognized Presence
1 Corinthians 1: 4 - 10 Grace [be]
unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. I
thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by
Jesus Christ; That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and
[in] all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So
that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in
the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called
unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no
divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment.
Notice He will confirm you by fertilizing the
predestinated gene seed. This thought on seed is the best and simplest
explanation of predestination that I know, because a seed has everything about
it already predetermined in it. It's
growth rate, it's response to the light, it's full
manifestation of it's attributes and characteristics are already in it by
predestination.
Deuteronomy 32: 1 -5 Give ear, O
ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My
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 I
will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. [He is]
the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of
truth and without iniquity, just and right [is] he. They have corrupted
themselves, their spot [is] not [the spot] of his children: [they are] a
perverse and crooked generation.
Deuteronomy 11: 14 (read)
Joel 2: 23 - 27 (read)
Hosea 6: 1 - 3
James 5: 7 - 9 (read) the season. The early and latter rain is at the time of
the Judge.

V-18 N-5 65-0429M
And then noticing this morning, Brother Jewel Rose, a very precious
friend and brother to all of us, how that he got up and read that Psalms. Look
how that dovetailed in, like he said, "I want to see what kind of a seed
that's hanging on you." Last night, the Spirit spoke and said, and about,
"The latter rain, former and latter rain, both being poured out in the
last days." And this morning, "The seed that's hanging on you."
See, the Spirit speaking, watch how It did through
these ministers and so forth, this morning. So therefore I'm taking this
subject: "The Seed Shall Not Be Heir With The
Shuck." That's a very strange text,
but, "The Seed Shall Not Be Heir With The Shuck."
And from taking, drawing my conclusions of this, or my text, rather, from
Galatians
377-2
A.RESUME.OF.THE.AGES -- CHURCH.AGE.BOOK.CPT.10
This age started just after the turn of the
twentieth century. As it was to be the age in which the true church would
return to being the bride she was at Pentecost, we know that there must of
necessity be a return of dynamic power. The believers sensed this in their
spirits and began crying to God for a new outpouring such as was in the first
century. What seemed to be the answer came as many began to speak in tongues
and manifest gifts of the Spirit. It was then believed that this was indeed the
long awaited RESTORATION. It was not, for the latter rain can come only after
the former rain which is the spring or TEACHING rain. The latter rain, then, is
the HARVEST rain. Next will come the harvest rain or rapturing faith.

Now, watch.
Now, remember the word "m-o-u-r-e-h, moureh,"
means "teaching, the former rain." It says "the moureh rain, the teaching rain," teaching rain went
forth. Billy Graham has struck the
world. The Pentecostals struck the world, and the Word has struck the world.
Now, what's the matter now? She's now waiting for the latter rain. That's when
she produces her fruits. Oh, I hope you get it.

Someone asked
me to repeat that Hebrew word again. In Joel the 2nd chapter (Joel
54 JEHOVAH.JIREH.PT.1 GRASS.VALLEY.CA JJ 37-72
62-0705
We've had a
revival. Joel said... We fuss so much about latter rain, had movements called
latter rain; latter rain, former rain, inner rain, outer rain. I was reading
the other day. Do you know what former rain means in the Hebrew word? I can't
call it right now; I never wrote it down; it skipped my mind. But "former
rain," the first rain, means "a rain of teaching." The second
rain is the Spirit that comes upon what's been taught and produces the crop
E-63 END.TIME.SIGN.SEED TIFTON.GA
62-0319
Now, we said in the last days Joel told us (the other part of the
Scriptures. Listen close now.) that there would be a
former and latter rain in the same season. How many Christians know that? Say,
"Amen." Sure. What. Now, the
other day, to my surprise, when I looked... Former and latter rain would come in
the same season. Now, the word "former" in the Hebrew word (get your
Hebrew lexicon and find out), the Hebrew word for "former" means
"moureh." "Moureh"
means "teaching." There will come a teaching
rain. What is it? Putting the seeds into the earth.
What's had.
What's gone on? Well, we find out that there's been a teaching rain
going on. The Baptist people, "A million more in
'44," was their goal, members of the church. Billy Graham's great
revivals, our great evangelist, look what he done.
Look at Oral Roberts and the Pentecostals. There's been a teaching rain gone
forth. There's been a national teaching
rain, communism sowed amongst the people, every nation. There's been a Roman revival. Do you know what
happens? If they give the western part, or the eastern part of
Romans 8: 1 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus
from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth
in you.
Ephesians 2: 1, 5 And you [hath
he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins; 5 Even when we
were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
1 Corinthians 15: 45 And so it is
written, The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.
John 5: 21 For as the Father raiseth
up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
JOHN 6 : 6 It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak
unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.
1 Timothy 6: 13 I give thee
charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all
things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good
confession;
Collosians 2: 13 And you, being
dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
#3)
When this Seed manifests who it is, this manifestation of the Seed vindicates
that this
Seed was indeed for this Season.
Psalm 1: 1 - 6 Blessed [is]
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth
in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful. But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he
meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of
water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The
ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the
ungodly shall perish.
Noah, Moses, Paul, Wm. Branham all are
exoduses
Matthew 13: 10 - 17 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said
unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever
hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever
hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and
hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the
prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall
hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not
perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of
hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with
[their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their]
heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed [are] your
eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see
[those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those
things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
#4) This
manifestation of the Seed life by being quickened by the Word
for the season, is the evidence
that the Seed is God's Seed.
Ephesians 1: 3 - 17 this speaks of the
predestinated plan of God and His purpose behind it. Blessed [be]
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all
spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ: According as he hath chosen
us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and
without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of
children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his
will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted
in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness
of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward
us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his
will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in
the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all
things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him: In whom also we have
obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him
who worketh all things after the counsel of his own
will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in
Christ. In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed
with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until
the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith
in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for
you, making mention of you in my prayers;
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
1 John 3: 1 - 3 Behold, what
manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the
sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not
yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall
be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope
in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
2 Corinthians 3: 18 Behold, what
manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the
sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not
yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall
be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope
in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Collosians 3: 4 When Christ,
[who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also
appear with him in glory.
1 John
#5)
All other Seeds will not be quickened to Life but will reject the
Word for the season. Not the Word but the True understanding of it.
Contrasts Matthew 24: 42 - 51 & Jerimiah 5: 23 -
31 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your
Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the
thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house
to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in
such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and
wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them
meat in due season? Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he
shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say
in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall
begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink
with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware
of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Jerimiah 5: 23 - 31 But this people hath a revolting and a
rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. Neither say they in their heart,
Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season:
he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the
harvest. Your iniquities have turned away these [things], and your sins have withholden good [things] from you. For among my people are
found wicked [men]: they lay wait, as he that setteth
snares; they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so [are]
their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked:
they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and
the right of the needy do they not judge. Shall I not visit for
these [things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a
nation as this? A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by
their means; and my people love [to have it] so: and what will ye do in the end
thereof?
John 3: 19 - 21 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the
world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that
doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they
are wrought in God.

Thessalonians 1: 7 - 10, And
to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed

because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And
for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a

the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through
sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
