And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. (Mark 1:23-25)

112 Let me stop just a minute, to get this demonology down just a little bit. She was a demon, but she was in close contact with the spirit world. Now, today, there is many spiritualists that know really more about the spiritual world than people who profess themselves to be Christians, yet she’s a demon. In the Bible times it was the same thing.

113 When Jesus was here on earth, there was them professors and scholars and teachers, some of the best there was, out of the better seminaries than we could produce today. And holy, renown man, they had to be. If a Levite was found, he had to be found blameless, righteous in every way. And yet that man knowed no more about God than a rabbit knowed about snowshoes. When Jesus come, he failed to recognize Him, and he called Jesus a “devil.” He said, “He’s Beelzebub, the prince of the devil.” Is that right?

114 And here come the lowest type of a demon, that had a man bound out yonder in the tombs, and everything, and they called out. The devil himself said, “We know Who You are. You’re the Son of God, the Holy One.” Is that right? Witches and wizards, devils, recognized Him the Son of God; while educated, theological seminary preachers recognized Him to be Beelzebub. Which was right, the devil or the preacher? The devil was. And, brother, it hasn’t changed too much today. They don’t recognize the power of God.

115 No matter how much teaching you got, you can drum that into you. God is not in big words. God is in an honest heart. You might stand here, speak big words, like I don’t know what, that doesn’t bring you closer to God. You can stand and practice how to repeat your sermon and say these things, that don’t get you closer to God. You can learn dictionary till you sleep with one, and it still wouldn’t get you closer to God. A humble, submitted heart, in the simplicity, is what brings you to God. And that’s true. Amen! A humble heart, God loves. Now, no matter if you don’t know your ABC’s, that don’t make any difference. Just a humble heart! God dwells in a humble heart; not in education, it’s not in schools, not in theology, seminaries, not in all these other different places; not in big words, or not in classical places. God dwells in human heart. And the lower you can break yourself down, the more simple, you can become greater in the sight of God.

116 Let me give you something. I see your fields are full of wheat out here. A full head of wheat always bows. A little old sprig sticks up there, and flopping around like it knows everything, it ain’t got it in the head. That’s the way with a lot of these guys that think they got a whole lot in their head, and nothing in their heart, though. A holy head will bow to the Power, recognize Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and believe His works.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. (Genesis 45:4-7)

186 And they said, “We are the sons of one man, which is Jacob, which is old; you know, Israel, and which was the blessed of the Lord, and so forth.” And then he heard that his dear old daddy was still alive. Listen what he said here. And he made hisself known to them when he closed up the doors. His heart, look at the love of God there, still calling. And there those Jews standing there, poor boys, they’re starving.

187 Their father was starving, said, “Go down and get a little more corn, or we’ll starve to death.”

188 And he kept Benjamin down there for a token. And you know how it was, how he stood before him. And then he looked and he seen Benjamin, he couldn’t refrain any longer. He made every man go from him, get away. And poor Joseph stood there, and he said, “I am Joseph, your brother.”

189 And his brothers had just told him, said, “We have one brother which is not, that was killed by beasts,” and he was talking right to his brother. That was his brother, Joseph, who was standing there.

190 And he—he made them all leave, then he revealed himself, he said, “I am Joseph, your brother.” And they were scared, the patriarch. They was afraid. He said, “Don’t be afraid.” And he begin to scream so loud till even over in Pharaoh’s palace they heard him screaming, heard his screams and cry. He run down and throwed his arms around little Benjamin, and hugged him and kissed him, and fell on his neck and begin crying, said, “You mean to say that my poor old daddy’s still alive up in Canaan?” What a feeling! What, the love of God that’s shed abroad! “My daddy’s still alive and I’m giving him some corn.” Said, “Oh!” And he screamed to the top of his voice.

191 I wonder what that will be, the day when our Lord Jesus breaks down through the eastern horizon, coming back to the earth again. Hallelujah!

192 There he screamed and wept, that great prince standing there, and the patriarchs. Said, he said, “Don’t feel bad.” Said, “God sent me.” See the Holy Spirit, how Love Divine will do? Said, “God sent me down here. Don’t feel bad at yourself.” Said, “God sent me down here to preserve life for these times.”

193 And what did God send Him here for, but to preserve Life? What’s the Holy Spirit here for tonight, but to preserve Life? He was rejected of the Jews, and sent over here to the Gentiles, to preserve Life. Have you got It tonight, my friend?

And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. (Isaiah 35:8)

44 Now, there’s no two Holy Ghosts; there only one Holy Ghost (That’s right.), only one Holy Ghost. And that same Holy Ghost that led Simeon to believe that he would not die until he seen the Lord’s Christ, that same Holy Spirit’s telling me, “Something going to happen.” Amen. I just believe it. And It’s telling you the same thing. Let’s be expecting it. Let’s get ready for it, make ready. Like taking a trip, get everything packed up. No, this—this kind of a trip, you unpack everything. Got too much packed up now. The trouble of it, we have to unload. So this trip you unload. You have to get right in the middle of the road.

45 One of the dear brothers, Brother… I was going to say Deweece, I believe… no, not… that’s Oral Roberts. Oh, he’s the state superintendent of the Assemblies of God at Indiana. I forget what his name is now. Anyhow… Brother Weed, Roy Weed, I guess you all know him. Brother Weed… one day, my cousin, Brother Vibbert, has one of the biggest Pentecostal Assembly of God churches in the east in Evansville, Indiana. He has whole city block, it’s just took into church meeting. So they had a, I believe it was called the Five Hundred Room. Across the street there’s a garage, so Brother Vibbert just bought it out and his brother running competition in Indianapolis, who can have how many thousand in Sunday school. So he had a man school over there that he just taught in on Sunday morning, five hundred in the class.

So I was supposed to speak that morning at the men’s class. I was setting behind Brother Roy, and Brother Roy said, “You know, I heard a man say,” and that was me, “that the—the middle of road is the place.” Said, “The middle of the road…” I believe that.

God said in Isaiah 35, “There shall be a highway.” Many of you dear Nazarenes used to sing, “A highway of holiness.” No, “There shall be a highway and (‘And’ is a conjunction; it ties your sentence together.)—and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness,” not the highway of holiness, the way. Correct road’s built so the water washes trash to one side or the other. So you’d either be real cold and starchy or a fanatic on the… But the way’s right in the middle of the road, right towards Calvary, right up the road.

46 So Brother Weed stood up and said, “A man… That isn’t good driving ethics.” He said, “If a man drove in the middle of the road, he’d get killed.” Said, “That’s not good driving ethics.” He didn’t know I was setting behind him. I touched him on the shoulder; I said, “That’s it, brother; you’re just so earthbound, you’re…” I said, “This road you don’t come back. It’s just one-way traffic going that way.” And so… He is—he’s a sweet brother, just as fine as could ever be thought. Oh, my, they don’t—don’t make them better than Roy Weed. But it was just so cute, you know, he said, “Now, you drive in the middle of the road you get hit.”

I said, “Brother Weed, we won’t get hit; we’re going one straight way. Just right way. We’re not coming back at all.” A one-way ticket, I’m glad I’ve got it then, aren’t you? a one-way ticket. What the Holy Ghost reveals through His Word, I believe that is truth; we stay right with it.

Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. (Matthew 27:41-42)

42 Let’s change our picture for a few minutes. Let’s take four thousand years later. Let’s get in Jerusalem. It’s a morning; it’s about eight o’clock. I hear a noise outside. We’re all talking. What’s going on? Oh, a great bunch of carrying on, and some hiss, and some crying, some mocking. Let’s go pull the shade back and look out, see what’s out there. Why, look, coming down the street, there comes a Man. And He’s got a—two malefactors following Him. He’s got a cross on His back. “Well, Who is that?” I say to my company in the upstairs.

They say, “That’s that Jesus of Nazareth, that impostor, that Divine healer, that one who troubles our churches and makes trouble with them, teaches things that the priests don’t believe in. That’s Him. They’re taking Him to Calvary. They’re going to crucify Him.”

Those big old cobblestones as He went out the gate, that cross bumping up and down on His shoulder… And as they took Him out along, I noticed He had one robe, it was wove throughout without seam, and all over that robe comes little bitty red dots. Is it speckled? Is that its natural color? No, it was white. Why those little speckled dots? Let’s watch them. As He goes on towards Calvary, them little dots begin to get bigger, bigger, bigger. And after while they all run into one big red splotch. What is it? Blood.

43 And as He starts up Calvary there, I can hear something going [Brother Branham claps—Ed.] What is it? The second Adam, the Redeemer, the Blood of a righteous One, bleeding for the sinner to cover up our sins. And we spit it back to Him. We wag our heads and said, “I’ll have my own way about religion. I’ve got my own religion, I don’t have to have that stuff.” Without that you’re lost, without hope, without God, without Christ, in the world dying, going to a sinners grave and a devil’s hell, without that.

God made a preparation for you. I can see Him going up the hill packing that cross, His little weak body staggering as He went up the hill. The first thing you know, it was whirling around Him; death was biting at Him hard, and He’s moving on with a cross on His back, moving towards Calvary yonder. What? Because He had to? No, because love drove Him to it.

44 There, think of it. They said, “He saved Hisself… others… He saved the others; Himself He cannot save.” That was a compliment. He couldn’t save others and Himself. Did you ever think of it? He was the Father. Amen. He was Father God as a Sacrifice. That’s the reason I love that song, brother. When you try to make Him just a prophet… He was more than a prophet; He was God manifested in flesh.

Why couldn’t He… He said He could get twelve legions of Angels. Why didn’t He call them? He couldn’t. That’s the reason His own children was crying for His Blood. Could you imagine your own children screaming for your blood? If He condemned them He condemned His own children. He said, “I won’t condemn you before the Father.” He said, “You got one that condemned you and accused you before God; that was Moses; and you believe in him.” He didn’t condemn them. He said, “Forgive them, Father; they don’t know what they’re doing.”

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chron. 7:14)

13 Jonah said, “They are lying vanities.” He said, “Once more will I look to Your holy temple,” told God.

Because when Solomon dedicated that temple, he said, “If Thy people be in trouble anywhere and look to this holy place and pray, then You hear from heaven.”

And he believed, Jonah believed that God heard Solomon’s prayer. And he started saying, “I’ll not look at this whale’s belly. I’ll not think about my backslidden condition. I’m looking towards Your holy temple and making confession.” And God sent oxygen down there, and kept him alive for three days and nights, and delivered him right in Nineveh where he belonged.

Well, if Solomon prayed that prayer, and if… There’s no one here that’s in the condition, or halfway, like Jonah was. You ain’t got nothing like the symptoms he had. Well, if he, in that condition, could look to a temple where it was built by hands of a man, and a earthly being, a man, Solomon, sitting and praying, and could have faith in Solomon’s prayer, how much more ought you and I, tonight, setting here, look to the throne of God where Jesus stands at His right hand with His Blood there to make intercessions on your confession. Just refuse to have the symptoms.

14 Symptoms is something like, say tomorrow, when you go home now, to your place, the express agent will come up and say, “Are you Mrs. Doe?”

“Yes.”

“I have a present for you.”

“All right. What is it?” He hands over a—a basket, or box, and you hear something hitting in that box. You look in it. It’s a big box of snakes, rattlesnakes. Well, you don’t want them things.

Well, you say, “I don’t want them.”

“Oh, but they’re yours. Somebody sent them to you. Here’s your name. Here’s the name. It’s somebody sent these snakes to you; they’re yours. You have to take them.”

Now, in one sense of the word they’re yours, in another sense they’re not. Somebody sent them to you, but they’re not yours until you sign for them that you’ve received them. And when you sign you received them, then they’re yours. But if you refuse to sign for them, he has to take them back to the express company. The express company has to send them to the one that sent them to you. Is that right?

Well, don’t sign for nothing the devil brought. No, sir. Just refuse to have it. No, sir. Say, “I just haven’t got it. Devil, you take it all back. That’s all. I won’t have it.” Refuse to have your sickness, your arthritis, whatever it is, “I just haven’t got it. By His stripes I’m healed.” Stand right on your ground. Confess it. Believe it. Stay there. God will bring it to pass. No matter what it is, just believe Him.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. (Genesis 41:41-43)

I look back there, see Joseph, when he was born of his father by—and loved of him, rejected of his brethren. And his father give him a coat with many colors. Seven colors is a—only seven colors, original colors. And this coat went over his little body, just exactly like the rainbow was given over Jesus after His death, burial, and resurrection. When John saw Him He had a rainbow around Him to look upon as jasper and sardius stone, and that was the stones of Ephraim, and or the—of Benjamin and Reuben. And—and how that the—the first and the last… The rainbow around Him, which meant a covenant, the covenant of the Blood, Jesus got—Jesus gave to the Church as a covenant. And the rainbow is always the sign of the covenant.

21 And Joseph then, when he went to see his brothers he was rejected and supposingly to have been killed.

Now, that’s what the Jews did when he came to own, his own received him not. They didn’t like him, why? Because he was a seer, because he was a prophet, because he was more spiritual than the rest of them. And they was going to kill him, and one of them called out and said, “Don’t kill him, he’s our brother.”

But they threw him in a ditch. And then they took him… He was taken up out of the ditch, and was taken to the greatest city in the world at that time in Egypt, and become the right hand man to Pharaoh. Just as Jesus was rejected of his brothers, killed and put into the ditch, raised up again, and now setting at the right hand of the greatest city in all eternity, heaven.

22 And no man could come to Pharaoh, only through Joseph. And no man could come to God, only through Jesus (See?), just perfect.

And another thing you notice I… we just got to hurry, but placing the background here.

But notice in his temptation when he was in the—when he was in prison, through the great gift that he had, there was two men. And one of them was a butler, and the other one the butcher, or the baker. And one of them was lost, and the other one was saved. Is that right?

And look at Jesus on the cross. There was two come to Him, and one was lost, and the other one saved, on the cross, just perfect. And then I noticed another thing that when Joseph was rejected of his own people, he was given a bride from the Gentiles. Is that right?

Pharaoh give him a bride. Well, it’s just the same thing… that Jesus being rejected by the Jews comes to the Gentile church and picks out a Bride. And we are Mrs. Jesus this afternoon. That’s right. Amen. I like that. Sure.

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. (Matthew 26:26-29)

105 Notice, after the battle was over, Melchisedec served His victorious child communion; think of that, part of Himself! Now we want to see here. In type here is, in view, the communion. After the battle, He gave of Himself, because the communion is part of Christ. And after the struggle is over, after you’ve done got yourself whipped out, then is when you partake of Christ, become part of this Being. You get it?

106 Jacob wrestled all night, and wouldn’t turn Him loose until He blessed him. That’s right. Battled for Life! And after the battle is over, then God gives you of Himself. That is His true communion. The little bread and wafer just represents It. You shouldn’t take it ’less you’ve wrestled it out and become part of God.

107 Remember, at this time, the communion had never been instituted, not until before the death of Jesus Christ, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years later.

108 But Melchisedec, after His child Abraham had won the victory, Melchisedec met him and gave him wine and bread; showing that after this earthly battle is over, we will meet Him in the heavens and take the communion again. It’ll be the Wedding Supper. “I will not drink no more of the vine, or eat the fruit, until I eat it and drink it with you, anew, in My Father’s Kingdom.” Is that right?

109 Notice again, Melchisedec went to meet Abraham before he got back home. What a beautiful type here we have! Melchisedec meeting Abraham before he got back home, after the battle.

We meet Jesus in the air, before we get Home. That’s right. Second Thessalonians tells us that, for, “we meet Him in the air.” A beautiful type of Rebekah meeting Isaac, in the field, in the cool of the day. “We meet Him in the air.” Second Thessalonians tells us so. “For we which are alive and remain shall not prevent or hinder those which are asleep; for the trumpet of God shall sound; the dead in Christ shall rise first; we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them, to meet the Lord in the air.” Perfect, all these types.

110 Therefore, the theophany, if you have died and entered into that theophany, (what happens?) the theophany comes to the earth to pick up the redeemed body. And if you’re here in the air, you take the body to meet the theophany, there you are, “and caught up, and go to meet the Lord in the air.”

Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. (Matthew 26:20-25)

88 See, there was a clash. When the carnal and the spiritual meets, there is always a clash. When Judas and Jesus met, there was a clash; One, the Son of God; the other one, the son of Satan. Just like Cain and Abel, there was a clash when they met. One of them was the treasurer of the church, and the other One a pastor. And as now, we come in this day, to the same thing again. The carnal denomination to the spiritual Bride of Christ. The spiritual Bride of Christ is so much different from the carnal organizations, till there’s no comparison in them at all.

89 Now notice, the natural always tries to type the spiritual. But, as in Jacob and Esau, it will not work. It would not. Now, when it come to doing good works, I—I believe that Esau actually was a better man than Jacob, in the sight of man. He tried to take care of his daddy; he was blind, a prophet. And all these things that he tried to do, but yet Esau didn’t think about that being just carnal work. He thought he could get in by what he done, do something good for somebody, which was all right. But Jacob, his whole soul was to get that birthright, and that’s what God recognized in him spiritual.

90 Notice, and it’s always caused the natural to hate the spiritual. 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.

Even 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 spiritual 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 this last days! Oh, my, how much of it!

But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper. (Genesis 39:21-23)

21 How Joseph was a perfect type of Christ. How Moses was a type of Christ. Moses the law-giver, the priest… How that Joseph was the prince of prosperity. Everything he did prospered. When he was here on the earth, put him in the dungeon, everything prospered, put him in Pharaoh’s place, everything prospered. Wherever he went, he was the prince of prosperity.

And when He comes again in His glory, the desert shall blossom as a rose, and we’ll have no more deserts; and everything will prosper in the great Millennium when the prince of prosperity arrives. How wonderful.

Notice how that Joseph was loved of his father, hated of his brethren, sold for almost thirty pieces of silver, throwed into a pit to be dead, taken up, and set at the right hand of the greatest commercial city in the world. No man could come to Pharaoh only through Joseph.

Jesus sold for thirty pieces of silver by His brethren and was taken up, setting at the right hand of God, and no man can come to the Father except by the Son.

22 And when Joseph went forth, there was a proclamation signed, brothers went before saying, “Bow the knee; Joseph is coming.” Oh, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess the Lord Jesus Christ. Whether you do it now or your works go on before you, whatever it is. Someday, you’ve got to bow the knee to the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Notice it, how beautiful. How that in Moses, the law-giver, how that he was both a priest and a law-giver. And how he led the people. That was God in Joseph; that was God in Moses.

Look at David when he was dethroned and rejected in his city, and he climbed out up the Mount of Olives, and rejected by his own son. And his people had turned him down. And as he went up the hill, he went up weeping, looking back over Jerusalem, weeping. What was it? It was the Spirit of Christ in him.

When the Son of David came, some eight hundred years later, he set on the same hill, rejected of His own, and wept over Jerusalem and said, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft would I have have hovered you as a hen covers her chicks, and you would not.”

All the Old Testament just a foreshadow of the New Testament, the things to come.

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
