Twins
or
(The Two Vines)
The doctrine of
Twins is not well received among the Christian world, because it does not speak
well of the masses of humanity that live in the world today. After all, Paul
said in his Epistle to the Galatians, "Many more are the children
of the desolate than she which has a husband." (Meaning? The
bastard born, out number the genuine born). And so has been the case throughout
church history. The religious, yet unsaved, have always controlled the church.
One need only to look at every revival that has sprang forth in church history
to know this is true. Then why would we think anything different would spring
forth from the revival we have seen in this last hour?
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH JESUS 64-0126 96
And, today, Pentecost has organized and set right down like they did;
it's exactly the same thing. And the Word's moving on, and It's moving right
away from them. That's exactly right, 'cause we get so stiff and so starchy. We
let our churches get in any kind of condition, go right on. Long as we got
members, that's all is necessary, 'cause we got more than we ever had." We
blow about that. Let me tell you something that's an old proverb, that, "The
devil counts his crowd, but God weighs His." That's true too yet today.
God weighs you by His Word, see if you're found wanting or not. I don't care
about crowds, how many's, how unpopular It is. It's God's Word being made
manifest for this hour. Exactly right. I don't care about crowds, and who
comes and who doesn't. It's God's Word's at stake, like it was there in
Pilate's judgment hall. Weigh It, and see what we have found, where we're found
wanting. Yes, sir. We believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,
and forever.
The doctrine of
twins actually comes forth from the true and complete understanding of Election
and Predestination. You can not fully understand, or appreciate the doctrine of
predestination and election, until you understand there are two parts to the
equation. There is a true vine, and a false vine. There is an Election to
glory, and an election to condemnation. Therefore, we will address both sides
of Election as we present this study.
The doctrine
dealing with Two-Vines, is set forth first of all by Jesus Christ Himself. The
Apostle's Paul, Peter, John and Jude also speak of this doctrinal understanding
of Election. Last but not least, God's End-Time Prophet William Branham
restored this doctrinal truth in this hour.
We know that God wrote His first Book in the heavens. Therefore, the 3rd sign of the Zodiac is
TWINS. It represents 2 children. We know this constellation as Gemini. Pollux
is the brightest of the Two stars, Castor is the second brightest. We also know that ancient mythology was a
perversion of the True Doctrine which God established to reveal Himself. Thus,
in Mythology these Twins known as Hercules (the earth born son of god) and
Mercury (the light bearer or messenger of light).
TWINS!
The following
attributes and characteristics are found in the doctrine of the Two-Vines and
each will be linked to a more exhaustive study: Since this Doctrine deals with
so many aspects of Godhead and the plan of Redemption, I thought it best not to
lump the entire study together into one gigantic work, but rather, present the
doctrine of TWINS in 4 parts beginning with DEFINITIONS, then moving onto
SOURCE, and from there we will study how this life is propagated through SEED,
and then identify the characteristics of the life or nature in each SEED. Our Last Study will be the OUTCOME or
DESTINATION of each seed.
