Joseph, separated from his brethren, without a cause. Now,
what
was the matter with them? He was not willing to be
separated; it
wasn't his will to separate. But they separated themselves from
him, see, from his bright, shiny dollar;
their penny's worth
couldn't stand it. They knowed
they were patriarchs. They knowed
that Isaac was their... or, pardon me, Jacob was
their father.
And they knowed that to be true.
But Joseph was born... He could
n't
help it. He was spiritual. He saw visions,
could interpret
dreams, and they were perfectly right. Whatever he
said, was the
truth. And his patriarch brothers, moved with envy,
and sold him
to the Egyptians. See, they--they
separated themselves from him
because they were pennies. He was of a
different quality.
So is a real believer today, he is of a
different quality.
They'll separate themselves, (they don't
understand It), copper
from silver.
93
TOTAL.SEPARATION -- PHX.AZ -- V-3 N-20 -- 64-0121
Now we find out, they moved with envy and sold him.
Why? They
do the same thing today. What it
really was, they said they
was... It was
for jealousy. They didn't want to
break down,
because that the quality in them were not the
quality that was in
him. And, because
of it, they were jealous, because they were
pennies and he was a dollar. See?
94
TOTAL.SEPARATION -- PHX.AZ -- V-3 N-20 -- 64-0121
Now, if the penny
would say, "Blessed be the Name of the Lord!
My brother, dollar here, see, I
can't make the change that he
does, but I will make what I can."
That's that, we'd go along
then. God would get His program over.

As I preached to
you, Sunday, the great symphony of God's Word
being beat out. The changes and junctions
is only God changing
times, like the--the director in the symphony. When we
see these
changes of ages and changes of
times, look down on the Sheet
here, and you'll find out we're supposed to be
here. They've got
to do this; there is no way for them to keep from it.
96
TOTAL.SEPARATION -- PHX.AZ -- V-3 N-20 -- 64-0121
And the music, to a man that doesn't understand the
symphony,
what is it? It's a bunch of rattling noise. He
doesn't understand
it. He is not even interested. He is wishing,
"I wish they'd shut
up, so I could go home." He is not interested,
'cause he doesn't
know the symphony. He doesn't know it.
97
TOTAL.SEPARATION -- PHX.AZ -- V-3 N-20 -- 64-0121
But the Composer
knows the end from the beginning. See? And if
the director isn't in the same Spirit of the Composer,
he cannot
act it out, because it's all done by signs. And
if the sign don't
vindicate It, how is the musicians going to
play It? Amen! That's
it.
If the trumpet
gives an uncertain sound, who can--can, who will
know how to prepare for war, retreat, or what doing?

Look at the Word and see where we're living, then you
can see
pennies, what they do. But you can see those who are glistening,
watching, and knows the Word, and
watching for these signs to
happen. [Brother Branham snaps his finger--Ed.]
There it is.
Like the little woman at the well, when He said,
"Go get your
husband," she said, "I have
none." Said, "That's right. You got
five."
She said, "Sir, I perceive that you are a
prophet. We haven't
had them for hundreds of years. But we
know the Messiah is com
ing, and He is going
to be a prophet. That's what He will do." He
said, "I am He."

TOTAL.SEPARATION -- PHX.AZ -- V-3 N-20 -- 64-0121
Oh, the symphony beat went just exactly right,
from the low
plumb to the high. She ran into the city, and
said, "Come, see a
Man who has told me the things that I've
done. Isn't this the
very Messiah that we've looked forward
to?" Certainly.
See, she understood what the sheet Music was in the
symphony,
that separates belief from unbelief.
Faith can only... Not come
by a church; faith comes by hearing the Word of God,
knowing what
It is. Now we find the same thing today.

Many people look
at gifts. (In closing now, five more minutes.)
People look at gifts, and they think,
"Oh, what a great thing,"
and they try to impersonate gifts. You can't do that.
You just...
You can't make a--a--a penny be a dollar, you can't make it be a
dime, see, can't make it a nickel. It's a
penny. But if you'll
just recognize yourself as a penny, and go with
the rest of the
change, see, God can use you. We
might not be able to do all.
There wasn't everybody...

What you are...
As I said in the beginning, what you are some
where else is what you reflect here. What you are, what your
celestial or terrestial
body is up yonder, what your celestial
body is somewhere else is what you're
reflecting back here. In
the spirit land, what you are, is what
you are here. If you're
still vulgar-minded and so forth in
the spirit land, you're
vulgar-minded here. If you still got
malice, envy, and strife,
you're in the spirit land with that, it
reflects back here. But
if your whole innermost being has become cleansed and
purged, it
shows that you've got a body out
yonder (waiting) that's been
cleansed and purged, and it's reacting
back in the flesh. Don't
you see? See, there it is. "If this
earthly tabernacle be dis
solved, we have one already waiting." See?
THE.BOOK.OF.EXODUS
CHICAGO.IL 55-1005 Now, then sickness is
a attribute of sin. It's what sin
produced, was the attribute.
Like the tree, it bears the apple, it's a attribute of the tree.
Now, if sickness is, and some people try to separate it, all
the
attributes of sin:
gloominess, weary, temper, malice, envy,
strife, they didn't have to make a
separate atonement for each
one of those things. The one
atonement taking care of all of it.
π73
E-33 THE.WAY.TO.HAVE.FELLOWSHIP -- CHICAGO.IL -- 55-1009
There's where it is tonight, God has to give
it. Then love
produces a fellowship. Now when God said back
there, the day that
sin had separated that Divine love, God told Adam and
Eve not to
eat these certain fruits, and they did,
and sin brought separa
tion. And sin by
separation brought hatred, malice, strife, envy,
is that right? What happened? They separated
from Divine love.
And when you
separate from Divine love, then you can't overlook
your brother's mistakes no more. You got to
bawl him out for it,
that's right. You
can't overlook sister's mistakes no more.
Because you've got away from that Divine
part, that love part.
But if you really love the Lord Jesus, if
sister, or brother,
does something to you, "Oh well,
that's all right, they didn't
mean to do it." That's the kind of love
that Christ had, "Father,
forgive them, they don't know what they're
doing."
25-1 SERPENT'S.SEED -- JEFF.IN -- V-2 N-4 -- 58-0928.2E
Adam was the son of God. The Bible said that Adam was the son
of God, that pure beginning back there.
Adam was God's son, and
that jealousy and envy and everything could not
come out of that
pure stream. It had to come through another
place. And it come
through Satan, who was a murderer to
begin with. The Bible said
he was--a liar and a murderer to begin with.
There it is. And he
killed his brother.
42 THE.UNCERTAIN.SOUND -- JEFF.IN --
V-16 N-3 -- 60-1218
And yet, the man, somewhere down in him, somewhere in
him, if
he could only let that little... As
I illustrated it, like a
button. When a man is saved,
that much of him is God. That's the
little Light that comes in, to make him quit doing
what's wrong.
Now if you can take all the
malice and envy, and strife and
unbelief, out, that little button-like of the
Light and Power of
God will keep growing, growing, growing,
growing, crowding out
unbelief. And you
don't do it by exhortations, of--of bodily
exercise. You do it by a sanctified,
consecrated Life, that the
Holy Spirit moves through you. I caught
some of It in a place,
where not long ago...
E-65 FAITH.ONCE.DELIVERED.TO.SAINTS -- W.P.BEACH.FL --

Here comes Cain. Then he looked around and he seen Abel's
sacrifice was accepted, he become
jealous. Then we find a whole
lot of that today. Don't tell
nobody but it is. That's right.
Jealousy. "Aw, they're a bunch of nitwits.
There--there's nothing
to them. They haven't even got
education. They don't nothing
about... How do you know? We got our
degree. We know what we're
doing." Well, go ahead. Let the blind lead
the blind, they'll all
fall in the ditch. That's right. We know all
about it. Yes, and
the first thing you know he goes over there and
what he does. He
becomes jealous. He becomes angry. Where did
that come from? That
never come from God. That come from the Devil
and he went out and
murdered his brother.

E-63 GIFTS -- BROOKLYN.NY -- 56-1207
And the so-called church-goer
will stand off on a side and
because of personal praises of men or dignity
of man-made, self-
made things that they have; they'll criticize the Holy
Spirit and
the workings of the Holy Ghost and call it
fanaticism and try to
oust it out. And the very words before
the Congress today is to
stop such meetings as this. Here's the only
thing I can say about
it. And I
say it as a servant of God. I say this:
that it's
nothing in the world but unadulterated
jealousy. That's right.
E-59 JOSEPH.MEETING.HIS.BRETHREN -- JEFF.IN -- 56-1230
My, my. How pitiful. Why? It's
because they are arrogant and they
hate their brethren without a cause, just
as Joseph was hated
without a cause. You see it? He was
hated, not because that he
was worthy to be hated, because
without a cause. They did not
believe him. He was living in a different
realm.
And I say this now, as our time is getting short. I say this
with all trueness of heart. They hate the
Church today that has
the supernatural. It's jealousy.
It's petty jealousy. And
it
exists among human beings. The disciples had
it.
E-12 WHAT.DOES.TAKE.MAKE.CHRISTIAN.LIFE -- CHICAGO.IL --
57-0113
Now, realizing that this is no new thing to preach on.
It is
something that's been preached on
many times, but the way we
approach it and the way that we take it. We
take it still think
ing that it is a Holy Spirit
controlled church and yet we put our
intellectuals mixed with it and then we can get
a conglomeration
of both Holy Spirit and intellectuals.
And when the Holy Spirit
desires to do a thing and degrades something, or lifts
something
up, it causes petty jealousy
amongst the people, which proves
that they haven't got the Holy Spirit. Every
man would want to be
in his place.
Now, in this the
people have a reason because they have seen so
much denominationals and so
many different dictators, as it was,
spiritual dictators in the church
to say thus and thus.
E-21 THE.SEAL.OF.GOD -- LONG.BEACH.CA -- 61-0216
Now, we find out
that because that Cain listened to the enemy,
then what happened? He become
the first murderer. He become the
first one that had jealousy on
earth. Tell me where that pure
line from God to Adam... That's the only
connection. Adam was the
son of God. Bible said so. Then
where did that jealousy come
from? Where did that murder come from? Where did all
that kind of
a spirit come from? Out
of Adam? Couldn't of. Come
from Satan.
It's exactly where it come from.
Now, we find out he was the first murderer. And he was the
first one to have jealousy. Lucifer got jealous of Michael,
brought it right down to the earth and
transferred it into man.
And Satan... Cain by taking on this evil,
took the first mark.
God marked him. No one was to kill him.
Let him alone. But you
remember, he--as soon as He marked
him he went out from the
presence of God. Hold onto that now. Oh,
we don't have time to
give it a real thorough study because, oh,
brother, we could dig
this here for six months, see, never
touch the outsides of it.
See?
π73
E-22 THE.SEAL.OF.GOD -- LONG.BEACH.CA -- 61-0216
Notice, he went out from the presence of
God when he was
marked. Went to the land of Nod and got him a
wife. Very type of
the church. Goes out from God, 66 THE.TRUE.EASTER.SEAL
-- JEFF.IN
-- V-14 N-3 -- 61-0402
And it was somewhat that way with Cain, because he
brought in
the fruits of the field, and made his service
to God, and it was
rejected because he did not come the right and
precise way that
God had ordained him to come. But he had
made his offering, and
done everything religiously
just as his brother, but he was
rejected. And because he was rejected on the
spiritual side, then
it caused a jealousy to rise in him, because he was
greedy.
72 REMEMBERING.THE.LORD -- JEFF.IN --
V-13 N-2 -- 62-1209
The priest of them days will also remember
they sold their
chance of Him, their chance to become His
servant, to become His
disciple, to become a convert to Him. They
sold it for green
poisoned jealousy. They were jealous of
His Doctrine. Why, when
He was yet twelve years old, He could stump them any way; and not
recognize it, that that was Messiah. They could
not do the things
that He did. And they were afraid that they would lose their
prestige before the higher up-and-up people,
and they sold their
opportunity. And they're just as guilty as
Herod was.
E-45 VICTORY.DAY -- SIERRA.VISTA.AZ -- 63-0421
And instead of
coming and saying, "Well, wonderful. We see God
in the midst of the people working. Let's do
that." No, sir! With
greed. And with jealousy--the same thing
that Cain has--he re
quires the blood of his brother. He tries to
wipe him out of the
way, get rid of him. "They're nothing but a
bunch of holy roll
ers. They're little..."see. You know what I mean.
That's what
starts the trouble. There's where trouble
begins. That's where
the broken vows... There's where broken fellowship separates.
That's the thing that breaks up homes. That's the thing that
starts the wheel moving towards divorces.
That's the very thing
that breaks the fellowship.

THE.THIRD.EXODUS -- JEFF.IN -- V-2 N-21 -- 63-0630.1M
Now, by doing that, they were taken out of place,
taken down
into Egypt later on. Now, the story of this jealous brothers is a
certainly a great comparison with the spiritual
side of it today.
We all are aware of that, that it's pure jealousy,
not pure,
it's old dirty, filthy jealousy, see. There's no
purity in jeal
ousy, see it's
nothing but filthy jealousy.
13-2 THE.THIRD.EXODUS -- JEFF.IN -- V-2 N-21 --
63-0630 When
they see the same Bible and the nature of the
same God that wrote
the Bible, vindicating Himself and then turn that down
without a
reason, pure... well, pure as I said, it's
dirty jealousy. Watch
ing God heal the
sick, raise up the dead. The same God that lived
in the days of the apostles. The same gospel
that they wrote for
this spiritual journey. It's the same God that does the same
things, `til
there is nothing but jealousy; has excommunicated,
and, "we will not have it among our
people," see, run them off.
π73
14-1 THE.INDICTMENT -- JEFF.IN -- V-3 N-19 -- 63-0707
Now, we know that spiritually they're doing
the same thing
today, for they are doing it to--for the same
purpose and in the
same way that they did in the crucifixion of
the Lord, physical
ly. They're doing it
because of jealousy, because of spiritual
blindness, that they don't want to see; they
won't listen to it.
Jesus, in His journey here on earth, He
said, "Well did Isaiah
speak of you; you got eyes and
can't see, and ears and can't
hear." See?
13-1
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY -- JEFF.IN -- V-3 N-7 -- 63-0728
That's right. Stay right together. If the brother, you think
he's a little wrong (or the
sister), say, "Lord, don't let me
ever have the root of bitterness
spring up, because it will
affect him, and it will take the Christ
right out of my life."
That poison acids of malice, and jealousy, and hatred, that will
just take the Holy Spirit right away from
you. It will run Him
from the tabernacle here. It'll kill the Spirit
of God or drive
it away from here, hurt your pastor;
it'll do everything. See?
Don't you do that! You just wax that much
closer together. Draw
up the... Take the buckle, as the brother
testified (a minister)
here the other night about having a buckle
(seeing it in a vi
sion). That
buckles on the whole armor of God; just put it
on,
tighten up, move right up close to one another.
Love one another
anyhow. Talk nice about one another. Say
nice things about one
another, and then God will bless you.

DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND -- JEFF.IN -- V-5 N-9 -- 65-0418.2E
And now, we find always that when these natural and
spiritual
spirits of churches and
organizations meet, there's always a
clash. It's never failed to be so, it always clashes. Because we
find that in there is a jealousy, and
there... In this jealousy
it causes carnal comparisons,
impersonations. And we find it in
today as it was then; when God does something
for an individual,
everybody tries to copy just like God did for
that person. See,
it causes a competition, and it
makes carnality. And then, if
they cannot (the other side) get the spiritual
results, then they
take it by a political power or they
substitute something to
upset the people's mind to draw disciples after
themselves.
90
DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND -- JEFF.IN -- V-5 N-9 -- 65-0418.2E
Notice. And it's always caused the natural to hate the Spiritu
al. It caused Cain to hate Abel; it caused Korah to hate Moses;
it caused Judas to hate Jesus; and on and
on it goes. It causes
the natural to hate the Spiritual, just as Cain
at the beginning
hated Abel, the one that God received
the sacrifice from, and
tries to destroy them. They try to destroy the influence; they
try to destroy everything, because it's nothing
but jealousy. It
started in Cain and proved that it was
jealousy, and it's still
the same thing today when the natural, the
carnal, and the Spir
itual meet together. It
proves it's Satan, no other way, because
jealousy comes from Satan. And then
causes an impersonation of
the Truth--somebody to
try to impersonate something that
isn't--they are not ordained to do. How much of
that have we seen
in these last days! Oh, my! How much of it!
π73
37 DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND -- L.A.CA

We find in Abraham and Lot, the same thing, in a
choice, be
cause Lot went down, when the time come, when
the spiritual and
the--and the natural church
come in a clash, because of the
herdsmen. They had to separate one for another.
And whenever this
does, it sets up a jealousy.
39
DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND -- L.A.CA -- V-18 N-4 -- 65-0427
We find out that
jealousy become between the herdsmen of Abra
ham and Lot, and they had to separate.
We find out that
Moses and Korah had a clash, also.
Jesus and Judas
had a clash.
42
DOES.GOD.CHANGE.HIS.MIND -- L.A.CA -- V-18 N-4 -- 65-0427
Esau and Jacob, before either boy was born, before
they even
had a chance to make a choice, God said,
"I hate Esau and love
Jacob," for He knew what was in them
from the beginning. And we
know...
Keep that in
mind, He knows what's in your heart. He knows what
you mean. No matter what we say, He knows what
you mean.
And it's always caused trouble. And they, the...
always, the
natural always tries, since Cain destroyed
Abel, the natural has
always tried to destroy the effects of the spiritual.
We find it
the same thing today, the very same thing
today. It proves that
it comes from Satan, because it's
jealousy and impersonation of
Truth.
E-14 THE.ANGEL.OF.THE.COVENANT -- PHOENIX.AZ -- 54-0301
So, instead of
that, they hated him, was jealous of him. A very
beautiful type of today. The spiritual church
hated of the half-
brother be... for no reason at all.
Where they ought to be in
love that we're having a great
revival. Everyone ought to be
loving God for that. But instead, without a cause...
E-46 THE.END.TIME -- PHOENIX.AZ -- 54-0307.1A
Notice, these two
coming now, out of Genesis. Let's bring them
up. There he was, Cain, as soon as he seen that
God blessed Abel,
he become jealous. Is that right?
A religious worshipper becoming jealous. Now Cain died, but
not
his spirit. Then, he come over and killed
his brother. Is that
right? Perfect type of Judas
and Jesus again. See?
E-61 THE.END.TIME -- PHOENIX.AZ -- 54-0307.1A
Look, they wasn't
even an organization like they was. They went
interdenominational. They
dwelt in tents. They
didn't have
any...?... Hallelujah! They were evangelical.
Ha-Ha.
Well, now here, a voice come over to an old back
backslidden
prophet over there. And said, "Come over and
curse
you imagine? Both of them
believing in the same God. One wanting
to curse the other one. He's jealous of
him. That's... Them men
died, but that spirit still lives. God takes His
man but never
His Spirit.
π73
E-14 GREATER.THAN.SOLOMON.IS.HERE -- PHOENIX.AZ --
57-0228
Notice, and now how petty people can be. These disciples just
like other man, two or three days later they found a
man casting
out devils, and he was getting the job done; he
was doing a real
job. And the disciples found him, and
just like man of our day,
they said, "You come and join our
denomination. You come hook up
with us because you can't do this unless
you go with us." But
they were just a little bit too late. God was
already proving He
was doing it. He heard Jesus say,
"Whosoever will let him come."
They were jealous because that this man was getting the job done
and they could not do it.
E-60 JOSEPH.MEETING.HIS.BRETHREN
-- JEFF.IN -- 56-123 So like
little sissy petty's
as we have today, little juvenile children's
ideas, run back and said, "We found
him, and he was casting out
devils." And what was it? They were jealous,
because he was doing
what they couldn't do. They had got carnal. Their eyes of their
understanding was like Joseph's brethren,
had not been yet en
lightened. So they come back, and tattled on
him, and told Jesus.
And Jesus said, "Let him alone. (Amen.)
He's doing a good work.
He's doing what I commanded you to do, and you failed to do it."
190 Q.&.A.HEBREWS.PT.1 --
JEFF.IN -- COD.HEB -- 57-0925
Now let's take back to Cain. Could you tell me where that
spirit and that meanness come from? If Cain... look,
if Cain was
the son of Adam which was a son of God, where
did that evil come
from? The first
thing when he was borned, he hated, he
was a
murderer, he was jealous. And now take
the nature of his daddy,
the very start in the beginning,
Lucifer, and he was in the
beginning... he was jealous of Michael,
what started the whole
trouble. How many
knows that? And Cain was the nature of
his
father, which he was jealous of his
brother and slew him. That
pure... that nature could not come out of
that pure Seed. It
come... had to come out of this
perverted stream. And notice
Cain, as soon as he was borned.
130 ADOPTION.OR.PLACING -- JEFF.IN --
AD.PT.4 -- 60-0522.2E
Then he got jealous, "That old Jesus'
Name stuff, there's
nothing to It." That's right.
And what did God do to him? God
sent an evil spirit upon him to hate
David, and he hated David
without a cause.
E-21 THE.SEAL.OF.GOD -- LONG.BEACH.CA -- 61-0216
Now, we find out
that because that Cain listened to the enemy,
then what happened? He become
the first murderer. He become the
first one that had jealousy on
earth. Tell me where that pure
line from God to Adam... That's the only connection.
Adam was the
son of God. Bible said so. Then
where did that jealousy come
from? Where did that murder come from? Where
did all that kind of
a spirit come from? Out
of Adam? Couldn't of. Come
from Satan.
It's exactly where it come from.
Now, we find out he was the first murderer. And he was the
first one to have jealousy.
Lucifer got jealous of Michael,
brought it right down to the earth and
transferred it into man.
And Satan... Cain by taking on this evil, took the first mark.
π73 God
marked him. No one was to kill him. Let him alone. But you
remember, he--as soon as He
marked him he went out from the
presence of God. Hold onto that now. Oh,

such a thing as eating apples. He was the blood of his
mother and
daddy, the life of Adam. So he brought a lamb,
just like God did.
Hallelujah! He kept the Word of God, and Cain was
jealous with
him.

Oh, God brought it down, said, "Here it is."
And Abel offered
the right one. Then he--his brother was jealous
at him. Look what
he did, he killed his brother. God raised
up another one; like
death, burial, and resurrection of
Christ. Watch. God then,
His... What did He tell Adam and
Eve? "Go on and multiply and
replenish the earth." Scatter the human
race all over the earth,
so He could deal with them individually till He
could bring them
back together. Dealing with the
people, individuals, each person.
But they didn't want it that way.

Why did they do
this? They were jealous of Him. That was what's
the reason they tried to belittle Him. They were
jealous of His
ministry. And that's the reason they were
trying to belittle. But
He had the ministry of God and they knew
that, but It was con
trary to their
creeds, so they were trying to belittle Him. Make
everything He, every little flaw that they could
find, get Him
out of the way. They wanted Him to quit,
they wanted the people
to denounce Him. They wanted to say,
"Now, this guy's nothing.
Looky here. Now there he is, he--he--he did this. And you know
that's not right. We've been taught
all of our life that we
should believe the elders. And here he is,
stood right there and
bawled that elder out. He disagreed
with the tradition of the
fathers, and we been, and we ought to
believe the tradition of
our fathers. We been taught that by each rabbi all the years
through. And here this man comes around and
disagrees with them."
See, "Why, the man like that ain't fit to
be a preacher."
72 REMEMBERING.THE.LORD -- JEFF.IN --
V-13 N-2 -- 62-1209
The priest of them days will also remember
they sold their
chance of Him, their chance to become His
servant, to become His
disciple, to become a convert to
Him. They sold it for green
poisoned jealousy. They were jealous of
His Doctrine. Why, when
He was yet twelve years old, He could stump them any way; and not
recognize it, that that was Messiah. They could
not do the things
that He did. And they were afraid
that they would lose their
prestige before the higher up-and-up people, and they
sold their
opportunity. And they're just as guilty as
Herod was.
