Unveiling of God no 63

Injecting their own thoughts

November 7, 2018

Brian Kocourek, Pastor

 

Tonight we will continue examining brother Branham's sermon the Unveiling of God and we will pick up at paragraph no 94. This will be number 63 in our series.

 

Notice in paragraph number of br. Branham's sermon  94 The Unveiling of God he said, "How about the people who say that they are veiled in the Presence of God and preach some church tradition (Oh, mercy, goodness.) which adds to and takes from, and everything else, like injecting their own subjects and their own thoughts, and not the Word of God? See? What kind of a veil? That's got an ecclesiastical veil. God tore that veil wide open. They say, "There is no such a thing as prophets. There is no such a thing in these last days as apostles and prophets. There is no such a thing as Divine healing. There is no such a thing as seers anymore. There is no such a thing as Mark 16 being fulfilled. Apostolic age is done." They veiled It from the people, but God walked right out with His Holy Spirit of fire and rent that thing from the top to the bottom. God has rent the veil."

 

Tonight I would like to take examine this thought he brings out how they just can't seem to take the Word in its purity, so they add here and take away there and it becomes a polluted Bread.

 

The Apostle Paul warned us of such in Galatians 1:6-9. 6  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

 

So not only does he call the Gospel that has been injected with man's ideas and doctrine a perverted Gospel, but he also says it is cursed.

 

From his sermon Paradox a 65-0117 P:40 Br. Branham said, So is it with an individual. As long as there's any human injections, human ideas, then God's germ of Life, the Holy Spirit, cannot work. You cannot be healed as long as there's just a fraction somewhere, that it's not rotten yet; it's got all the human elements, all the scientific ideas, all the days of miracles is passed, so-called. All that has to, all, not only die, but rot, then from there grows the germ of Life unto a new life. That's the only way it can grow. That's the reason we don't get what we ask for. We try to take with us so much of our own ideas. That's the reason the Lutheran church couldn't advance no farther than it did, the Pentecostals and the rest; 'cause they inject by a bunch of theologians, "This oughtn't to be this way. This is for another day. And this was for that." There it stays. It cannot grow to that perfect image of Christ until every Word of God is received into you, and then you become that Word, like the seed that went in the ground.

 

And again from his sermon Only one way provided by God 63-0731 P:25 There has never been anything that ever beat God's way on anything. I don't care what it is. If people would just don't try to inject their own ideas, but just take it the way God said it, believe in It. See, it seems to be so hard for man just to get out of his own ideas, just he's got to have something to do into it himself. He has always gummed up, if you'd excuse the expression, he has always gummed up God's way for him by injecting his own way into it.

 

In his sermon God's only provided place of worship 65-1128M P:66 brother Branham likens unleavened bread to the bread of Life, God's Word that has not had any of mans ideas injected into it. He quotes Scripture, ... "Seven days, eat unleavened bread." No leaven shall be found amongst the Bride, no word added, no nothing. Remember, one word caused every death that's in the earth; every illegitimate child was born because Eve, the first church, the bride of the first Adam, doubted God's Word and accepted a denominational, or a intellectual, or a school exceptions of it; because It was reasoned out, that "Surely, God is a good God." God is a good God, but He's also a just God. He must keep His Word. School, she accepted it. There's where some of you seminary boys, no doubt a call in your life, but you run off to some Bible school to have this doctrine injected in you, and there's where you die. Stay with God and His Word. They won't let you; or, you can't even belong to their congregation, won't accept you on the platform. So let them have it; let the dead bury the dead; let's follow Christ the Word.

 

So I would like to look at this thought tonight as we go to the first Exodus to see the commandment that went forth from Moses concerning this. And never forget in Hebrews 10 the Apostle Paul taught us that "the law (what happened during the first Exodus) was a shadow of things to come".  

 

So let's examine the shadow (The first Exodus) that we might understand the things to come (The Third Exodus).

 

Exodus 12: 14-29  14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever. 15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.  

 

Now, Brother Branham typed Israel as a type of the Bride, the called out ones. And there was to be a memorial that God wanted Israel to remember, and we find that this seven days represents the seven church ages, and that no leaven was to be found in those seven days, and whosoever is found with leaven was to be cut off.

 

16  And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation,(that means a gathering, or ingathering) and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; (notice we are to have another gathering that is called a holy convocation or Holy In-gathering once again at the seventh day as it was at the first. This lets us know that what was in the Alpha must repeat in the Omega. There was a gathering together unto Him at the first and there will be another gathering together unto Him at the last.

 

At the first Exodus the people gathered around a Prophet who followed the Pilar of Fire, and thus it has been also at the 3rd Exodus.

 

Now, let’s read on to see the tenor of that holy convocation, which was a  holy in-gathering unto Him.

 

In other words, we want to know the setting for this holy convocation, the atmosphere in which it will  come about. And Notice God says, here, “no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. 

 

Notice what kind of activity was to take place during the time of this holy convocation, this holy in-gathering. We are to be eating and resting, just like we are told in the Book of Malachi the 4th chapter concerning the time of the prophet of Malachi 4.)

 

Malachi 4:1 ¶  For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;(those are healing campaigns just like He did in alpha He is to repeat again in the Omega. And as a result of His presence among us which is evidenced by the great healing campaign, it is to have an effect upon us as well,) and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 

 

Now the question is what is a calf of the stall? It is a calf that is hedged in and all he can do is eat and rest, eat and rest, for he's there for the purpose of fattening up.

 

Notice the Scripture says, and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. So it is all about growing up. Coming to full maturity. That is what this ministry of  the Son of righteousness is all about, bringing the elect to a full maturity.

 

Now back to Exodus 12:17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever. 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, (at evening time, see) at the evening time ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even, (at the evening time). 19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. 20  Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. 21 ¶  Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.

Now this is the verse of Scripture that brother Branham used when speaking on the Token, and the blood was taken here and was wiped onto the two door posts, and on the lintel which is the span just above the door opening. That formed the sign of the cross, and it was the blood of the lamb that was represented on the door which represents the Word. Jesus said, "I am the door to the sheepfold". And He is the Word. And so the blood of the lamb was wiped on the door in the sign of the cross, foreshadowing what was to come when the Lamb of God would be slain on a cross.  

 

Now, notice they were to take a lamb for a house, each house was to have their own lamb. Each house was to have their own relationship with the Lamb of God.  And so is it today. So I ask you the question. Does your family have a lamb for the entire house?

 

Now, let’s read on…23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. 24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? 27That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. 28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 29 ¶  And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

 

In other words the Lord did not spare anything that was outside the blood. And brother Branham told us that the last plague then was death and that the last plague today is spiritual death.

 

Now, I want to say this without hurting feelings, but if you'll notice at this first Exodus, death took out the first born son of all who did not have the Token properly displayed in their home. And if the type holds, then is what we are seeing today the fulfillment of the spiritual death striking all nations and every home, and every first born son, in whose home the Token has not been properly displayed? I go to certain areas around the world like in England, and most of the children raised up by parents in the Message have fallen away. I ask the question why? If the Token is properly applied, then why are the children dying spiritually? I'll just leave it for you to ask yourselves if you have properly applied the Token to your home or not? .

 

Matthew 13:33  Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

 

Now he is telling us a parable here concerning the Kingdom of Heaven, so we must pay attention to the details of this parable.

 

Now, we have several Scriptures here this evening that would appear to the carnal mind that they are completely in contrast. For in the Old Testament we read that for seven days there shall be no leaven to be found amongst you. For seven days, there will be no leaven in your home, or in anything with what you have to do. No leaven period.

 

And by the way, Matthew 13 is the Rapture chapter and Matthew chapter 24, and in this Matthew chapter 13 we find many parables that speak of the end time and in particular the time of the setting froth of the Kingdom of God.  When God comes forth to establish His kingdom with a Shout, a Voice and a trumpet, which we know to be the Rapture.

 

And we find the same parable in the Book of Luke, Luke 13:20-21    20: And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?  21: It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

 

Now, if we are not careful we can look at this parable and come to just the opposite meaning than what Jesus is laying out for us to know. You could say, the kingdom of God is like leaven, and then think leaven must be good? But that is not what Jesus is telling us here, because there is no place in scripture where leaven is likened unto anything that is good and righteous, but rather it is looked at as being something evil.

 

Now, if we turn to Luke the 17th chapter and verse 20 through 22, we read, ¶  And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observationIt doesn’t come with an outward show. Now, the Pharisees had a leaven of their own, and it was externalism. Everything to them was an outward show. That’s like what we call the social Christian today, or the social Message Believer. You can’t get them to come to church but when there is a social event they all show up for everyone to see that they are Believers. Everything was done in a way that you could see who was who, and who was doing what. Jesus told them, you wash the outside of the pots and make them clean, so everyone could see you do it, but on the inside you are full of dead men’s bones.  And so we find Jesus telling these Pharisees, that the Kingdom of God when it comes will not be done with an outward show. It's going to be something that happens within you. He said, "The Kingdom of God is within you." And even the Angel of God had to rebuke brother Branham for making a show of it in the very beginning. That is not the way it will come, nor is it the way it has come.

 

You know, people are looking for the coming of the Lord and for the clouds to part and for angels to descend and for everyone one earth to be able to see when it comes, but that is not the way it will come. It is a secret coming, for He has Appeared already and they don’t even know it, nor are they in their churchianity even aware what has taken place.

 

And Jesus continues talking to the Pharisees saying, 21 Neither shall they say, Lo (look) here! or, lo (look) there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

 

He is saying, The kingdom of God is in your midst and you are not even aware of Who the King is and what His kingdom is all about. It will be in your very midst and you won’t even be aware of it, because you are looking for something outward and thus you are looking in the wrong direction. The Bible tells us he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and he is rejected of all men.

 

 

He wasn’t beautiful, he wasn’t a polished up preacher with a beautiful delivery. He wasn’t what they were looking for, nor was He what they were expecting. This tree of Life was not some great big beautiful tree full of beautiful and delicious fruit, but the Bible tells us he was a tender plant,

 

Isaiah 53:2 tells us,  "For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:" (and what is a root out of dry ground? It’s all shriveled up and there is nothing beautiful about it. It says,)  "he hath no form nor comeliness" (no splendor, no majesty) and the description Isaiah gives us continues, "and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him."  Therefore 3  "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."

 

Now, you say, that was the man Jesus? And I tell you, NO, that is God Himself in the man Jesus. God was in the prophet’s and no prophet was received among his own people. God in those prophets was never received,  never will be received because he changes not. 

 

22 "And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it."

 

And why won’t they be able to see one of those days? Because they are so busy looking backward or forward, and failing to see that God is the same and changes not.

 

Now, Jesus was telling those Pharisees that the Kingdom of God was standing right in their midst and they were not even aware of it. They were so organized within themselves that when he was there, they didn’t even know it. 

 

Water from the Rock   55-0224  E-24 When Martin Luther built the first camp, he organized it so tight he just couldn't be nothing else but a Lutheran. God come right along, moved the Pillar of Fire out, the children followed it. Wesley brought the message. And the first thing you know, Wesley organized so tight, till he couldn't move. Then the first thing, the Pillar of Fire moved out, and here come the Pentecostals  going right on with it. The Pentecostals organized so tight till they're fussing whether they're one-ness, two-ness, three-ness, or one hump camel, two hump camel, three hump camel, this way, that way, that way, God's moving right on out, leaving them. That's right. The Holy Spirit's moving on, children's a following It.

What does Thou Here  59-0301E   E-54  Why can't this America see it, Lord? Has her senses so dull, is the church so organized so tight... And they won't cooperate. They won't do nothing but criticize.

 

Deceived Church by the World  59-0628M  83    But as Israel was bound by their kings, that they could not follow their real King, and their real King, when He came, they didn't recognize Him, so is it today, O Lord, the King of glory has appeared in the form of the Holy Ghost, and, Lord, they don't know it. They don't recognize it. They're so organized so tight, that they do not understand it, because it's not in their organization. Lord, this is a work of the Devil that's done this to the people. May the Samson of God, may the true in heart, those who are longing and crying, and pleading and holding on, may they stay with it, Lord, until this new crop grows out, until there comes forth again a joy in Zion, and there comes forth a group that can recognize and understand, that can see the Messiah and the hidden powers that’s hid from the world, that they will not understand now. Grant, Lord, that they’ll see this. For we ask it in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

 

Now,  in Luke 17 when Jesus is having this discourse with the Pharisees, he's telling them that although the King  is in their very midst, yet they cannot see what is taking place, and he tells them so will it be when the Son of Man is manifesting Himself to the world. He who made the world will come to the world and the world will receive him not. That’s  John 1:10 all over again  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

 

Now, in getting back to Matthew 13 we see in this parable three things here. Matthew 13:33  Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

 

Now, if we approach this Scripture here and keep it in continuity with the rest of the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelations, we have three things here.

 

#1) It is speaking of leaven. It is speaking of this leaven which the Kingdom of Heaven is likened unto.

 

#2) This leaven was hid in three measures of meal. So we have thus far the leaven and the meal, and finally we have the third which is…

 

#3) The woman and she is the one who did it. She is the one  who hid the leaven in the meal.

 

Now, we know that woman always represents the church. So we are looking at what this church is doing. And we know what kind of a church it is when we look at the character of the woman. We can tell whether she is a true bride or a false bride which is a whore.

 

Now, we are dealing with the Kingdom of God. That is the subject Jesus is speaking about. And we know a kingdom is not a piece of land, nor is it a place, but rather a kingdom consists of one thing and one thing only. A kingdom is simply a King and His people. For you cannot have a kingdom without a king and his people.

Therefore, Jesus is telling us what the conditions of the Kingdom of God will be like at the time when the Son of Man is revealed. Now, let’s just look at this meal that the woman hides the leaven in.

 

The word meal is associated with bread, and we know that the Word of God is our bread. Jesus said," man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." He said, "I am the bread of Life" And "He is the Word". Therefore the meal represents the Bread of Life. That’s the  meal see. It is the bread of Life, which has been broken down for the people.

 

Now, notice this woman had three measures of meal, but she hid something in these three measures of meal, and it was leaven, to make it more than what it really is.

 

And notice how she did it. She HID it. That shows her motive. She knew it was wrong but did it anyway which makes it iniquity.

 

From his sermon Gods Only Provided Place Of Worship  65-1128M   186  brother Branham said, "The meal offering was a type of Christ. Let's just take that one. 190 And the meal offering that was Christ, He was the Meal offering, and the meal offering must be ground with a certain burr that made every little chunk of meal the same, shows that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.. 190 (cont’d) Christ is the Word. All the types of everything: the tabernacle, the showbread, everything, the broken kosher under the plate was His broken body, that the Jews can't explain yet why they do it (See?), and all these other things typed Him. 193 Now, then, Him in view, we see now all denominations and creeds left behind; for He is the pure, unchangeable Word of God, which is the unleavened bread: St. John 1. That's right. He's the unleavened Bread. So you add this, or add that, it's a leaven added to that what's already been originally give for you.

 

And he told the story of Elisha and how he went to the school of the prophets and someone wanted to impress him and so they went out and gathered what they thought were wild peas but turned out to be wild gourds, and when they put them in the pot and began to boil them, someone cried out and said, "there’s death in the Pot", and "so Elisha took a meal offering and put it into the pot and made it so that they could eat."  

 

And notice, how there is death in the pot today. The woman, the church has mixed in with the three measures of meal leaven, and it’s  killing the people spiritually today, just like what they are doing in the natural with all this dna altering and gene splicing and hybridizing the corn and wheat. Hybrid wheat and hybrid corn produces hybrid meal, and if you eat it, what does it do to you?

 

God's provided way 64-0206E P:11 And now, by hybreeding things, look what the world's got into today. I was reading an article here out of the "Reader's Digest," where twenty years from now women won't have babies, if it keeps on. They're eating hybrid food. The thing of it is, they've hybrid it. And that's not the way a human being was made, to eat that kind of food. It was made to meet it in--to eat it in the way it was created. That's the reason today, that they can't keep meats, and everything is the way it is, is because it's hybrid, hot planted, and oh, every kind of a way. It's just all mixed up. It's got to where the entire human race is being destroyed by their own achievement, by trying to take something that God made good and turn it around, and make it some other way, in their own way. Leave it the way God made it.

 

Christ revealed in His own Word 65-0822M P:16 Men now and people today are in such a neurotic condition, the whole world... You read this last months "Reader's Digest." You notice the subject there; it's on Billy Graham the great evangelist. He got so tired he just couldn't hold his meetings, and he went to Mayo's Clinic for a physical checkup. There wasn't nothing wrong with him, only he just doesn't do enough work. And they put him to running: physical exercise. He runs a mile every day. And then, the article goes on to say that science has proved, that today, that young children, these little boys and girls hit their middle age at twenty years old. And by twenty-five, many times in many cases the girls are out of menopause at twenty-five years old. I don't know if you knew it or not, but a few nights ago while the Holy Spirit was speaking here in the meeting, a little girl setting down here; that's exactly what was wrong with that child when It called out. I looked at her a second time, looked again, and I seen what was the matter. I thought, "It can't be; that child's too young." But it was, menopause, about twenty years old, twenty-three, something like that. See? 17   My mother and your mother struck that age about forty-five to fifty. My wife struck that age about thirty-five. Now, it's down to twenty. The whole human race is rotten. Well, if them physical beings of our body is tearing down like that from eating hybrid foods, tensions, that rotten it, does not that also rot the brain cell? Then we can see how women can get on the street naked. We can see how they can speed through the--the streets at a hundred and twenty miles an hour, all these things. It's come to a place where the whole nation, the whole world, not only this nation, but everywhere, mentally gone.  18   And then when we open up those, the Lord willing, on those Seven Vials and show those hideous things... Men will be so insane after while, till they'll imagine they're seeing ants the size of a mountain. They'll be tormenting women, be locusts come upon the earth with long hair to torment women who cut theirs off, hair like women hanging down, and long teeth like a lion, stingers in their tail like a scorpion, and so forth, to torment men upon the earth. But then it'll be too late to do anything about it. You get right now. See? Tormenting...

 

Feast of the trumpets 64-0719M P:56 Now, we're going into the trumpet. The trumpet sounded; and the trumpet denotes either war, or feast day, or... What it means is a gathering together of the people, the trumpet. Paul said, "When the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who can prepare themselves for war, or for peace, or whatever it is?" Who knows? You have to know what the trumpet sounds. Therefore, when the trumpet sounds, we see something in the earth today. There's a great trouble somewhere; everybody knows it. Everybody's become a neurotic. The whole world is a neurotical world, and we know there's something wrong. The Pentagon, everywhere, we know there's something wrong.

Look how in the natural they've polluted the corn and are genetically engineering it to be something that it was not meant to be. And why do they do it? To make it look better. And why do you add leaven to meal? To make the loaf appear bigger and nicer looking. Yet the Kingdom of God is not to come by observation. And if it is not to come by observation, then why would you want to make it look better than it is meant to look? And what is the effect it is having on the people? It’s changing the bodies of men and women, from strong and healthy to weak and infertile. The meal is destroying the people in the natural and what have they done to the meal offering? They, the woman, the church have so polluted the meal offering, the Word of God by adding there three measures of leaven that people who profess to be Christian no longer appear to be Christian. The church is dying, and they have lost the mind of Christ by hybridizing the Word of God.

 

And how can you be conformed to the Image of Christ who is the Word, if  you are feeding on a hybrid word? It can't be done.

 

Notice the words of warning from the Apostle Paul to the Galatians 1:6   ¶  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 

 

Now that word another is not from the Greek word allos which means a different one altogether, but it was taken from the Greek word heteros which means of another nature.

 

Therefore Paul is saying, I marvel that you are so soon removed from the Gospel of Christ unto one that has a different nature from the original One you received.

 

And then he says,  Which is not another(he says, here, which is not an  allos, which is not a totally different one altogether, but it is the same one that has been perverted.  "but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ." 

 

And this word pervert came from a Greek word that means to change or to turn. So we see here that they were swerving away from the truth unto a false or pseudo-truth.  And then he warns them,  8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

 

So we see that to take this other meal is to take the curse which is death, and in this case spiritual death.

 

Spiritual Food In Due Season  65-0718E 124  Notice, there was meal in the barrel. Every time she went after meal, there was meal in the barrel. There was oil in the cruse, every time she went for it. Why? Meal represented Christ in the meal-offering. The burrs had to be set just right to grind every one of them. Every burr of this meal exactly the same, showing that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That was the Word, the Bread of Life following the message, to vindicate the Word. So is it today, friends. So is it today, that the Bread of Life that the children eat on, follows the Message of God, to sustain them during the time of the drought. What if He stood in our presence today? What if He stood in our presence right now? He would act and do just exactly like He done the days when He was in flesh here on the earth.

 

God's Chosen Place of Worship  65-0220  76  The Meal Offering was Christ. The, every burr had to be set the same, and every little piece of meal had to be ground the same for the meal offering, showing that He is the Healer, and He substitutes and takes away death and puts Life by the two laws. Hallelujah. Where death is one place, when Christ comes in, Life comes in. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. And where there was death, there became Life, because that Christ was bought in, the Meal Offering.

 

Notice that the meal represents life, and the woman took three measures of this meal which represents three measures of life and yet she mixed in with life something else to try to make that life more beautiful, to make it bigger than it is supposed to be, and to make it better looking than what it was meant to be, and by doing so she perverted it and caused death in the pot.

 

Now, we have shown you how that women represent the church, and yet we have also said if you look at the nature of the woman it will tell you if she represents a Bride or a false bride.

 

In this parable Jesus tells us what kind of woman this church is. She is a false church because of her very nature declares what type of a woman she really is.

 

Jesus says,  the woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavenedNotice that she hid it. she was sneaky about what she was doing. The word hid mean to 1. To put or keep out of sight; secrete2. To prevent the disclosure or recognition of; concealtried to hide the facts. 3. To cut off from sightcover upClouds hid the stars. 4. To avert (one's gaze), especially in shame or griefv. intr. 1. To keep oneself out of sight.

 

And notice if this woman reflected Christ as her husband she would not be trying to conceal but reveal. So we see this woman is a bad church. She is a whore. She has tried to hide and get away with this deed so no one would notice. And Jesus said what she did leavened the whole lump. Leavened the entire lump. And what is to be made from the lump? It is to be baked and the bread is the result. And so she leavened the entire bread of Life until there was no Life left in it, only death in the Pot. And remember, the same Word that is our blessing becomes our curse if we do not handle it  the way it was ordained to be handled. Thus  all three measures of meal were thus polluted, until Jesus said the entire lump was polluted. "All tables had  become full of vomit" which is  Isaiah 28:8.

 

What the canker worm didn’t eat the locust did, and what the locust left the palmerworm ate, and what the palmer worm didn’t eat the caterpillar ate and so on until the whole thing was destroyed. And that is why God had to come Himself in this last day to restore all that had been eaten right down to the very roots.

 

Now, what are those three measures of meal? Justification, sanctification and the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, and notice how she perverted the teaching of these three Scriptural doctrines.

 

And what did she pervert them with?  False Doctrine! She took false doctrine to pervert the True meal or true doctrine.  We find our answer to this from the very words of Jesus in Matthew 16.

 

Matthew 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9   Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

 

So we see that the leaven represents false doctrine that is added to the right portions of Word. And remember the burrs had to be ground to the same in every detail. Therefore, the meal represents a rightly divided Word, and yet the leaven represents a false doctrine that was added to the three measures of Justification, Sanctification and the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, that just perverted the entire understanding of the kingdom of God.  

 

And without these three rightly divided measures of meal you cannot have communion and fellowship in the Presence of God without breaking the bread of Life with Him. God wants to have fellowship and communion with us, around His Word.  And Abraham, the Father of our Faith showed us how it is to be done.

 

Genesis 18:1  ¶  And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: (Notice this is speaking of the Appearing of the Lord Himself. This is speaking of the presence of the Lord.) and he (Abraham) sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly 

 

She did not have time to add anything to it, she had to hurry and quickly do it. when we make the communion bread, it is to be done in haste just like when they were to make the bread at the first Exodus. Just as Abraham had Sarah do it in haste, quickly, not time to let it rise. You take only pure whole grain flower and water only, and ad nothing else. No oil, no leaven, just pure grain wheat and pure water and knead it and roll it and then bake it quickly. Notice Abraham said, ) Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

 

You’ve got to be able to rightly divide the Three measures of fine meal, justification, sanctification, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and then you are ready to break the bread of Life with the Author of Life Himself in His Very presence. And He is here this morning to do so.

 

The  Masterpiece  64-0705 136  Justification made a way for sanctification. Sanctification made a way for the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The baptism of the Holy Ghost made a way for the Holy Ghost Itself to come right down in perfection, back to the Word again to manifest Itself.

 

Let us pray…
