Now, you couldn't get no accuracy
in what doctors would agree upon. You can't even get accuracy of them now. You can't get accuracy in science now.”
(Now before we read on, I would like to ask the question, why? Why can’t we
get accuracy in science? I’ll tell you, because they’re only guessing at it.
They really don’t know and they will not go to the source that does know, God’s
Word. And so, just as children they act as children and therefore they see
through a glass darkly. If they had an absolute that is proven to be 100%
correct every time then they would all have to agree. But since it is every man
to his own self, then how can they possibly ever come to the place of
agreement.) “Now, you know, sometime ago
they told us that when the Bible said that he saw four Angels standing on the
four corners of the earth, that that couldn't be; the earth was round. But the
Bible said "four corners."
Well now, you seen two weeks ago (Three weeks ago it's been now.), the papers
packing this article; they found out that the world is square. How many's seen
that? Sure. See? I got it all copied off and just waiting for somebody to say
something.
[Daniel 12:4] “But thou, oh, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the
time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”[2 Tim 3:7] “Ever learning but never able to
come to the knowledge of the Truth.”
So we know that although knowledge shall increase, and man will be ever
learning, yet they will never able to come to the Knowledge of the Truth. So
what knowledge they shall have, although it will be plentiful, will be based
upon deceit. And that is our science,
so called today. Based upon theories that are based upon deception. This is
exactly what Paul said
[1 Tim 6:20] Now the word used here for
science is the word gnosis which is the same word for knowledge and
understanding. But as Paul said, it is science falsely, so called. Because if
it is wrong, then is it really knowledge. We are living in a time when the educational
system in the entire world is based upon false knowledge. True science is as
elusive as Real Truth in this day. Because real science is real knowledge, but
what we have today is based upon falsehoods, therefore ever learning but never
able to know the Truth. And what good is false knowledge. What good is a degree
in evolution when it’s false, and based on myth or some stupid theory of a man
who was a blasphemer against God and His Word.
Now for you kids
that are in school, one day you may be told in your class that the earth is
round. But It is not round. And what brother Branham means by the earth being
square is that if it has four corners, then it can not be considered round, now
can it. Yet it is not flat either as you would imagine when you think of a
square shape. But in [Isaiah 40:22]
it is called a circle and yet in the same Book of Isaiah it is said to have four
corners. [Isaiah 11:12] And
so the earth is a polygon in it’s shape.
[63] And
they're going to find out someday that they're not seeing a hundred and fifty
million years of light space either; they're going right around in a circle. ( By the way, that came out in the
national magazines a few years ago. I remember reading the article to you when
we were in the other building, back there on Clough Pike, and then Morris
Ungren read it to us again during a watch night service some time later. We
also find that Einstein proved that gravity can influence or diffract the light
and actually bend light rays around objects. Light is transmitted through the
illumination of millions and billions of tiny particles. Each particle has a
mass and therefore each particle is subject to gravity. The center of Gravity
of an object depends upon the center of the mass of the object. Therefore if
the moon were to suddenly explode, the some of the mass of all it’s particles
would still have the same center of gravity because the center of mass would
still remain the same although the space of the object would be changed because
it is more scattered. Any way, Science has now proven that what Einstein only
theorized in his theory of relativity.)Now Brother Branham continues, :...”That's exactly. You're going to find out one of these days that when you go to heaven,
you don't fly off somewhere else; you're
still right here too, just in
another dimension faster then this. (with all that is happening to our
loved ones at this time I can only say that I am thankful that we have a vindicated
word on that. We don’t have to wait for science to prove it, we already have
“Thus Saith the Lord” that it’s True). Right through this room's coming color. Every
color shirt, dress, whatever you got on
is eternal, laying right on records, going around and around the world. Every
time you bat your eyes, it's right on record. Watch, television will prove
that.

[1 Peter 4: 17] Judgment begins in the
house of God by God’s Word. You judge
yourself now in order that you be not judged later.
[2 Peter 2:3,4 & 9] their judgment
is already waiting for them.

[Jude 1:6-15]
[Rev 14:7] His judgment is now come.

Cursings and blessings.
God always sends
mercy before judgment. But if you reject His Mercy, there is only judgment left
for you.

GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD JEFF.IN 57-0407M
Now, if you'll
notice, He said as it was in the days of Noah, in the days of Noah before the
flood, how it would be. And God was not willing that any should perish, but
that all might come to repentance. Then He suffered long. The flood stage was
way past due. Down in Egypt, it was way past due. Do you get it? In the
antediluvian destruction now, way past due, the destruction and judgment, and
coming out of Egypt, way past due, forty years overtime. But God was
determined; God was determined that His Word would not return to Him. He was
going to keep His Word. He has to keep His Word. He must do it in order to be
God. If He has to make a--a change of everything, and by grace He will do it.
That's the reason I say, if the church does not get herself ready, that's your
duty to get ready, "The Bride has made herself ready." The garments
is paid for. They are ready, but you must be ready to wear those garments. The
Church has made herself ready.

And so I believe
that--that Rosella will finally turn into the mission field somewhere; because
America doesn't want the Gospel (You know that.); we just might as well admit
that. This Anglo-Saxon people is finished; that's all. There's no more Gospel
that America will receive. Oh, you get a few stragglings now and then; but just
as the Gospel, it's over. And you can't even preach to them, can't talk to
them. They won't believe nothing. See? They just got their own hardheaded
ideas, and they're set, and the next thing's for this nation is judgment. She's
going to have it too. It may be through depression; it may be through an atomic
bomb; it may be through a great plague, a disease or something; but she's
ready. It's a-coming; thousands times thousands will fall.

Brother duPlessis
here in this country, at Durban where we had many thousands of people gathered
out; when five people come to the altar upon the platform to be prayed for, and
the Holy Spirit revealed things like that, I made one prayer, and they estimated
that twenty-five thousand outstanding healings taken place: twenty-five
thousand. They taken seven car... bus loads, or--or truck loads of old
crutches, and sticks off the fair grounds where that they had laid. And thirty
thousand surrendered their heart to Jesus at one time. Why can't we Americans
believe like that? You know what, I say this with reverence, not to you people,
not at all; my voice is going out in radio land, but America is burnt over. It
has been combed, and gleaned, and glided, and fished, and pulled, and so forth
till it's just about ready for judgment now. That's right. The next thing is
judgment; and we're going to get it; just remember that.
E-56 JEHOVAH.JIREH LONG.BEACH.CA 61-0212M
Father God, I--I
pray that You'll let the people know what I mean; grant it. And may they
understand that the only reason that a poor illiterate person would be
permitted to do these things, is to let them realize, Lord, the hour that we're
living in: judgment. They read the newspapers; they hear it on the radio,
through television. The science says it's just three minutes now till midnight
and less. What could happen at any time; the clock is ready to strike. The
world is at the end. We see that every little nation with their atomic and
hydrogen bombs, some of them would blow a hole in the ground a hundred and
seventy-five feet deep for a hundred miles square. O God, what would it do if
one of them, one of them ever gets loose and get to them radar screens, every
nation will go to firing. Then the end is here. Don't know, it might be yet
today, Father, that I--I don't know. But I'm going to live as if it was today.
Grant it, Lord; You help me to do that.

Now, when's God
going to start their last week? When? It may be today. It may be before the sun
sets tonight. God will declare it. When it is, I don't know. I'm wondering. But
I'm going to bring something here that--now in a--in a few minutes; and I don't
know whether you're going to believe it or not. But I've--I've got to say it
anyhow, I believe. We're at the
homeland. The Jews are in a homeland. We're at the end of the age, ready for
the rapture. The rapture comes; the church goes up; we're caught up to meet Him
in the air. We all know that. The Stone that was cut out of the mountain is
ready to come at any time. And when It comes, what does It do? It does away
with the Gentile age. It's all over, and God completely quits dealing with
them. "Let him that's filthy be filthy still; let him that's holy be holy
still." See? What does He do then? He takes His church, the Holy Ghost
filled. What's the filthy? That's the sleeping virgin and them that comes up
for judgment way over in here (we'll get that on another map when we continue
this one over) where she comes up to the white throne of judgment and has to be
judged by the redeemed. Paul told us not to take a matter to court, because the
saints would judge the earth. That's right. We're at the end time, sure. Now,
all right.

One day there will come a judgment upon earth. And the first
thing you know, you're going to find people here looking for the rapture, and
they done been gone a long time ago; it'll be such in the minority. He said,
"As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the coming of the Son of
man. As it was in the days of Lot..."
63 WARNING.THEN.JUDGMENT JEFF.IN
V-8 N-3 63-0724
Now, God giving
warning, prepare for a judgment. The atomic bombs are in the hangars, everything's
setting ready. And God, before He can let this thing happen, He makes a call
down through like He did in Sodom, "Come out of it. Get ready. There's
something going to happen." Like in the days of Noah, before God sent the
waters to destroy the world in the great antediluvian world that had come off
into sin, and Jesus clearly said that it was a day just like this. "As it
was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man."
How that the women on the rampage, and--and marrying and giving in marriage,
and--and the great scientific achievements, and the smart educated going into
the intellectual side, and the little humble Flock setting off to one side
waiting the pending judgment and the escape. And before God sent that judgment,
He sent a prophet (Uh-huh.), just like He did to Hezekiah, He said, "Get
ready, for the judgments are ready to fall." And he made the people ready
for the time. Noah made the people ready, and it was a call of mercy before
judgment.
E-19 VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN BEAUMONT.TX 64-0313
Now, Jehovah is
going to speak by His promised Word. He must then get this prophet ready to
send down, because it's always in His line of thinking, His line of doing every
time: send His prophet with the Word, and a-vindicate the prophet. Again, this
is a promised sign. A prophet himself is a sign. The Bible said so. When you see times lapsing, and then see
coming... Take the history of the Bible, study it. Whenever you seen a long
lapse of time, but just... When you've seen a prophet appear on... It was a
sign of judgment. God was going to judge the world when He--or the nation, or
the people--when you saw a prophet coming. I preached a sermon on that, you
tape men remember the, "A True Sign Overlooked." They always overlook
it. They always have. But it was a sign of a coming judgment.
E-33 VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN DENHAM.SP.LA 64-0321E
Let's just stop for
just a few minutes. I won't take too long, just to check a couple now for about
ten minutes, the rest of the message, rather, for ten minutes. Noah, a prophet on the land--in the land, a
sign of the coming judgment. Moses a prophet in the land, the sign of a coming
judgment. Elijah, prophet in the land, sign of coming judgment. John, a prophet
in the land, sign of coming judgment to Israel. They were absolutely cut
off. Notice, sign. What does a sign do?
The sign is to attract the attention, and get the elected ready and out of the
way before judgment strikes. That's what Noah did, got the elected ready. The
rest of them... And what does it do? The sign and the voice of the sign
condemns the unbeliever and gets him ready for judgment. It gets the elected
ready for the escape. That's what sign is. That's what signs are given for, for
the coming judgment.
E-34
VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN DENHAM.SP.LA 64-0321E
To the elected,
they see it, like the little woman with a pure heart in a defiled body, and the
Pharisee with a pure body and a defiled heart. It condemned one and saved the
other one. And the very judgment that saved Moses, condemned the world, his
preaching. It gets the elected ready. What's the elected ready for? When they
see a God sent sign, they look back in the Scripture and see if that's supposed
to be there. "Yeah, here it is. What is it? Pending judgment." Then the
elected listens to the voice. But the
unelected ignores and says, "Nonsense. Go on. We'll take the same old
school." That's the way they did in the days of Luther. That's the way
they did in the days of Wesley. That's the way they--they do now, way they've
always done. But it is a sign, and it has a voice that follows the sign. And
the voice is identified as a Scriptural voice.
Now, don't forget that. I keep that going in, because I may never see
you again. I wished I had a way that I could come down here somewhere, and get
all my brethren when they had no revivals going on, put a tent up, and just set
day after day, and teach it till it really soaked in. But He wouldn't permit
that, I don't think. See, we're too close to the end. I believe we're right now
at the end.

JEHOVAH.JIREH.1
LOUISVILLE.MS 64-0402
But if you could
just realize that the very One that you serve and separated yourself from the
world to serve, the very One that you love, the very One that's going to stand
in the judgment--you in the judgment with Him to be judged, if His Presence can
come right here and show that He's here...
Now, His corporal body can't do it. When that comes, time's over.
"As the lightning cometh from the east unto the west, so shall the coming
of the Son of man be." But His Spirit in the church has come. Look how
it's come up, through justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy
Spirit, and now right into the rapturing time to get the church ready, just
exactly the way it promised, just the way the church ages are lined out. And
we've seen everything coming right down, right down. Pentecost is the last
organization. That's according to the Scripture. It'll be the last
organization: rejected with the rest of them. That's right. It's an
organization. No organization is accepted to God. It's just... It's individuals
is the ones that's accepted to God.

TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-1 64-0617
The Presence of
Jesus Christ, which ought to--to illuminate the church to know that in this last
days where creeds, and denominations, and isms, and everything has got the--the
Word all smothered out, and Jesus the Word on the outside of the church, and to
see Him come right back among the people and identify Himself as He promised,
"in the last days when the Son of man is being revealed..." He was
revealed in the baptism; He was revealed in Divine healing; here He is in His
last attribute. Remember, that was the last thing that Abraham saw before the
fire fell and judged the Gentile world, and before the promised son came on the
scene: Isaac. This is the last thing that the Christian church will see in the
sign of miracle until the appearing of Jesus Christ. If God has give me favor
before you, believe me in the Name of the Lord: there's nothing else left in
the Bible to be done but take on the mark of the beast; and you have the Seal
of God.
