[Revelations 3: 14-21] (read) Prayer..... Now I want you to notice the condition of blindness is one
which is self afflicted upon these people, because they are given a remedy and
they are told that if they do not want to be blind that they should put on a
certain prescribed eyesalve, and that if they don’t want to be naked they
should put on a certain garment which is the Revealed Word, which is a garment
as white and pure as snow.
But will they do it? We’ll
find the answer tonight as we continue this this evening in our study from
paragraph 159 of Christ is Revealed in His Own Word. [159]
Now, if a man... In the Laodicean age the people were what? Naked (Are they?), blind. What good does light do to a blind
man? If the blind leads the blind, don't they all fall in the ditch? And
tonight I would like to focus our thoughts on this other condition that brother
Branham and the Scriptures call blindness.
What is blindness, ________?
Webster tells us that the word BLIND means, Without the power of sight; and
didn’t brother Branham say “they don’t
even believe in the power of Revelation?” Now, Webster adds, Not able or willing to notice, understand,
or judge. Doing without adequate direction or knowledge, disregarding evidence
and sound logic, etc.
So we see here a condition
or attribute of the end-time Laodicean people that more or less leads to
anarchy and a willful wandering of the spirit.
