Romans 29

The Squeeze and the Third Pull

Brian Kocourek

 

Last night we examined Romans 5: 1-2 and spoke on the subject of the Grace wherein we now stand. We examined this Grace which we have access to by Faith. And not just any faith will give us access to this Grace. But the Faith that Paul is speaking of is the Faith of the Son of God. This is what gives us access to this Grace wherein we now stand.

 

Romans  5:1 ¶ Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

 

 In our examination of the trials and how distress or trials are meant to produce in us, or enlarge in us whatever is all ready in us by the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.  And in fact when the squeeze comes fully upon us, it will only bring forth in us those attributes which God has already placed in us by the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. In our closing remarks we began to look at the squeeze to see what brother Branham has said about it. I would like to read again from his Message ...

 

6-1  Look Away To Jesus   63-1229E  So now, I am going to say something to you now, that I haven't said all along. And that is, the thing that we have looked forward to for so long, or at least many years, four or five years or maybe longer, the third pull has now been vindicated, and I'm sure you all know what it is.  Now, remember, there'll never be any impersonation of that, 'cause it can't be. It cannot be. Now, it's in existence, and I am warned of this, that soon, right at this time now, it's just happened, so it could identify its presence among you. See? But it will not be used in a great way, until this council begins to tighten up. And when it does, when that does... The Pentecostals and so forth can almost impersonate anything could be done, but when that time comes, when the squeeze comes down, then you'll see what you have seen temporarily, be manifested in the fullness of its power. See?

Now, I must continue in evangelism, just as I was commissioned first; I must continue on. Therefore, you've had the Word, and you know what to look for, how to stand. I must continue on in evangelism. And friends of mine, keep still and just keep moving on, for the hour is approaching swiftly (See?), that when something is going to be done.   Now, you might see some little odd things happen from me, nothing sinful, I don't mean that, but I mean something odd to what the regular trend, because what I have reached to now in the ministry, I'm dropping back here, watching that spot and waiting for the time to use it. But it's going to be used. And everyone knows that for as certain as the first was identified, so has the second been identified; and if you'll think real closely, you who are spiritual (as the Bible said, "Here's to him who has wisdom.") the third is properly identified. See? We know where it is. So the third pull is here.   It is so sacred that I mustn't not say much about it, as He told me in the beginning. Said, "This, say nothing of it." You remember that years ago? It speaks for Itself. See? But I've tried to explain the others, and I made a mistake. This will be the thing that, to my opinion (I don't say the Lord tells me this.)--this will be the thing that will start the rapturing faith for the going away. See, see? Now, I must lay quiet for just a little while.  Now, remember (and who's listening to this tape) you might see such a change in my ministry right away, dropping back... Not going up, dropping back... We're right at the age now, and it can't go any further. We have to wait here just a minute until this happens over here to catch up, then the time comes. But it's thoroughly identified. There's coming a time--in this nation, to where this nation is going to exercise all the power that the beast had before (which was pagan Rome, when it become papal Rome. See?) that this nation will do that. Revelations 13 plainly explains it. The lamb came up out of the earth. The other beast came up out of water, thickness and multitudes of people. This lamb came up where there was no people.   A lamb represents religion--the Lamb of God. And remember, it spoke like a lamb; it was a lamb, and then after while it received power and spoke like a dragon, and exercised all the power the--the dragon--power the dragon had before him; and the dragon is Rome always. So don't you see, Roman denomination, a marked Protestant denomination, an image unto the beast, making a power that'll force all Protestants like a union. You'll have to be into this council of churches, or you won't be able to have fellowship ...  Well, it's practically that way now. You can't go to a church and preach, 'less you have a fellowship card or some identification. And now, on persons like ourselves, we're going to be cut out of all that altogether. That's exactly, because they won't be able to do it. It's tightening; and then when that time comes, and the press comes to a place to where you're pressed out, then watch (what I am fixing to tell you in a few minutes) watch the third pull then. It'll be absolutely to the total lost, but it will be for the Bride and the church.  Now, we're closer than it seems to be. I don't know when, but it's real, real, close. I may be building a platform for somebody else to step on. I may be taken before that time. I don't know. And that time may be this coming week that the Holy Spirit will come with--and bring Christ Jesus. He may come this next week. He may come yet tonight. I don't know when He will come. He doesn't tell us that. But I do believe that we are so close, that I would never die with old age. Yet at fifty-four years old, I'd never die with old age until He's here. See? Unless I am shot, killed, or something, or other, some way killed; just old age wouldn't kill me, until He's come. And I believe that... And I want to say this; I have never said it before, but according to Scripture, according to what He said thirty years ago, thirty-three years ago on the river down there (in 1933, rather), what He said, everything has happened just exactly. I may not do it, but this message will introduce Jesus Christ to the world. "For as John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming, so is the message to forerun the second coming." And John said, "Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." See? So it paralleled it in every way, and I know it will. The message will go on.

 

Now, brother Branham told us just to stand, just like Paul did. He said,  when the squeeze comes down, then you'll see what you have seen temporarily, be manifested in the fullness of its power. See?  Now, I must continue in evangelism, just as I was commissioned first; I must continue on. Therefore, you've had the Word, and you know what to look for, how to stand. I must continue on in evangelism. And friends of mine, keep still and just keep moving on, for the hour is approaching swiftly (See?), that when something is going to be done.

 

Then brother Branham tells us how the third pull will come fully into use. He says,  But it's going to be used. And everyone knows that for as certain as the first was identified, so has the second been identified; and if you'll think real closely, you who are spiritual (as the Bible said, "Here's to him who has wisdom.") the third is properly identified. See? We know where it is. So the third pull is here.   It is so sacred that I mustn't not say much about it, as He told me in the beginning. Said, "This, say nothing of it." You remember that years ago? It speaks for Itself. See? But I've tried to explain the others, and I made a mistake. This will be the thing that, to my opinion (I don't say the Lord tells me this.)--this will be the thing that will start the rapturing faith for the going away...

 

Now, this morning we will look at those things which brother Branham said the third pull has already been identified with.

 

Moses  Exodus 14:15  1st sign staff into snake,  2ns sign in hand, 3rd speak the word and move forward. Notice it was to the totally lost but for the Elect.

 

“Noah had three pulls, his third was to the lost after the doors were shut. For God let him set right there where no one could enter or go out.   Souls in Prison 42-5

 

“In the days of Lot  1st pull to righteous Lot, 2nd pull 2 messengers to Sodom, 3rd Pull what was He? What kind of ministry did He have? He set with the elected and told them what was happening behind them”.     Souls in Prison

 

42-3  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  And notice, when the Third Pull of His ministry come, the First was healing the sick, the Second was rebuking their organizations and prophesying what they had done, what they were, and what was coming: what is, what will come, what was--what is and will come. That's what He done. Is that right? But His Third Pull was when He preached to the lost that couldn't be saved no more. They were down there where them big painted eyes was. Preached to the souls in hell that did not accept mercy, but were eternally separated from the Presence of God; yet they had to recognize what He was, because God made Him there. Wonder if His ministry climbs out the same way in the last days. As it was, "As the Father sent Me, so send I you. The works that I do shall you also."

577-3  {402}  SEVENTH.SEAL.THE  JEFF.IN  63-0324E

  The seven Angels... I was in the west. You remember the little bitty messengers; they went east. The second messengers, the doves (little bit larger bird), they went east. And now, I looked... They was with me all the time. That was that first and second pull. Now, the third came from the west sweeping forward with great terrific speed, and they picked me up. That was coming back east with the mystery of these Seven Seals, just like it said in--in Junior Jackson's dream that the Lord let me interpret for him there.

  On the inside of that pyramid, there was white stone that wasn't written on. That's the reason I had to go west to connect with these Angel's message to come back here to reveal it to the church. You remember, I said, "The next things that happen will be here at the church." That's just exactly.

 

  578-1  {405}  SEVENTH.SEAL.THE  JEFF.IN  63-0324E

  Another thing, I want you to notice what taken place, And if you're listening to the tape of the "What Time Is It, Sir?" you will notice that one Angel was very notable to me. The rest of them just was--seemed ordinarily; but this Angel was a noted Angel. He was to my left in the constellation in a form of a pyramid. And you remember, it was in the pyramid where the mysterious white rock was not written on. And the Angels took me into that pyramid of themselves, the mysteries of God known only to them. And now, they with the messengers that come to interpret that pyramid or that message of the secret of these Seven Seals which lays with inside the pyramid.

 

  578-2  {407}  SEVENTH.SEAL.THE  JEFF.IN  63-0324E

  Now, the Angel was to my left, would really be the last, or seventh Angel, if we would count them from left to right, because he was on my left, me looking to him towards the west, him coming towards the east would be on the left side, so that would be the last angel's message: very notable. You remember how I said he had his--kind of his head back, and his great sharp wings, and how he flew right to me. Now, that is this Seventh Seal. It's still is a notable thing. And we are... We don't know what it is as yet, because it's not permitted to be broken.   But now, each one of you in the meeting has noticed that what a meeting it's been. Everybody just seemed to be right on the end of their seat, and everybody standing around here at one and two o'clock in the afternoon waiting for the doors to open to get up here in the front, standing around the walls, cramped limbs, and everything. What is it? It's been the Holy Spirit sending down these messengers, and they have been revealing it to us. And then notice how it's dovetailed with the Word, exactly.

 

 153  STANDING.IN.THE.GAP  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-7  63-0623M

  And there was three outstanding peaks. He said, "Those three peaks are the first, second, and third pull. The first one was your first part of your ministry: small hill; then your first pull, pretty high. (You know, sign in the hand.)" Then there's a little interval in there, the time that I was taken off from being too tired. Many of you remember it. And then come the discernment, the second pull. Now, I've had another, about few years here of just kinda little peaks (See?), back like my ministry wasn't just... And then come the third one.

  Three is a number of completion (See?), the third one. The next peak was five, number of grace. And the next peak was seven, a number of--of perfection: the end. "Six days shall ye labor; the seventh is the Sabbath, the end of the week, the end of time." See? And I stopped and I showed it to Billy. And I looked at them. And He said, "That... Let that stand. If there's ever a doubt in your mind, remember this place; come back here."

 

 32-7  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  There'll be a ministry that'll show great wonders (Joel said so), but there'll be no time for redemption. It's all over. The Lamb's done took His Book, and redeemed is over. As Jesus first preached and was rejected and then went and haunted those that were in there, preached to them that were in prison and could not repent, no time for salvation, that same ministry will have to repeat again. What if that could be the Third Pull to the eternal lost? What if it is there? I hope it's not. What if it is? Think of it just a minute now. What if it is? God forbid, I got children. See? But it sure looks pretty close here.

43-2  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  In the days of Sodom, the First Pull was to righteous Lot. And the Bible said, "The sins of Sodom vexed his righteous soul daily," how them women acted and done. You remember, "As it was in the days of Noah..." What was they doing? Eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage: women (See?), women. What was the days of--of Sodom? Women. And the first message was Lot. They laughed him to scorn.

  Then He sent another messengers, two of them, and they went down. That was His Second Pull for Lot--for Sodom. But look at that one that went last. Just more and more mercy; it was all over then--all over at that time. That third Messenger that went down there, the Third Pull, what was He? What kind of a ministry did He have? He set with the elected and told them what was taking place behind Him. Is that right? But when He stepped off into Babylon--or into Sodom, He wanted to find... Even Abraham crying, "If I could find fifty righteous..." on down to ten righteous.

  God said, "Yes, find ten righteous..."

 

 44-6  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  Listen. All those who rejected the message of the hour before doom... The Gospel was preached to the doomed first before they went, without mercy.

  Noah shut up, was a testimony. God shut the door after his Third Pull. After the Third Pull at Sodom, the doors was shut. There was no more mercy. The ten couldn't be found. And the lost had the Gospel preached that could not be saved, because it was yet... Been that way in every age; every age reject the message before judgment. Have they done it again? Is that appearing of that Pillar of Fire down yonder on the river? Is that appearing alone in the message of cutting the women, and throwing the places where it should be, and rebuking those ministers who takes the place with the denomination instead of staying on the Word, when God's thoroughly vindicated that it's Him and not some poor ignorant unlearned thing like a man. It's God. And have we now come to the spot that the Third Pull would return again to the lost eternally?

 

  45-2  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  Was that what that vision was give me as a little bitty boy out yonder? And I have went West, and there's the golden Cross of the Gospel shining down and has declared the sign from heaven just exactly. You remember, the Cross was in a panoramic like a--like a pyramid also, built. Could it be that it's the Head part where it's ended and started and here come up to the Headship, like the pyramid come up through Luther, Wesley, Pentecost, and them there... Capping of the stone, could it be that? If that's it, where are we at?

        45-3  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  This might... I hope it isn't, but it's got to be. It's going to be. Just remember, them ministries has to... They always dovetail just the same with the other one. It had to come then; God don't change. Think of it. Bite your conscience with your spiritual teeth and find out where we're at. What if it is, and you're still the way you are? Then you just might as well walk... You're finished. Them that's outside, after the Book is taken by the Lamb, the Sixth Seal is revealed and all the seals, it's over. It could be. I hope it isn't; it could be.

 

  45-4  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  All right. Now, is that why this Third Pull has lingered so long? You notice the First Pull and the Second Pull went from one to the other. I predicted, you remember, when I first started about the First, and I said, "There'll come a time that I'll even know the secrets of the heart." You remember. How many... Why, all of you remember that in my meetings around. And one night I'd just walked into Regina, up there, and walked on the platform, Brother Baxter there, several thousand people, and a man walked up on the platform, and there it was. And from that it's been the same.

 

  46-1  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  But it's been years since I come off the field, four, about five years since I come off... What is it? What's done this? Is that been why it was like it was in the beginning in Genesis, "God's long-suffering"? Remember, when He made the world, the seventh day He made nothing. He rested. See? God was long-suffering in that sixth year, not willing that any should perish, but all might come to repentance. God was long-suffering.

  Again also in Genesis 15:16 (if you want to put it down) 16:15, He told Abraham, over in that land of the Amorites, their iniquity (They were Gentiles now.), "I can't take you in there right now, because the iniquity of the Amorites, the Gentiles, is not fulled up yet, but I will judge them. I'll come in that fourth generation, and then I'll judge that nation with a rod of iron." Is that right?

 

  46-3  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  Has it been so long that God's long-suffering, the ministry constantly, through tape and everything else has combed across the world to see if there's one more; but maybe that last one come in just recently. Has it been the iniquity that's been--been so long? If Jesus is the same (which He is, Hebrews 13:8.), His message must be the same; (fixing to close) His action must be the same.

 

  46-4  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  If the First and Second Pull is without question... Is there a question in your mind about the First and Second Pull? Did it come to pass just like He said? Then why question the Third? Why would you question... The first two was identified by the Scripture. I've proved to you this morning that the Third's identified by the Scripture too. Look upon the world and see where she's at. Look how they have rejected the truth, and how it's been properly identified, the prophecy part. Now, where are we at? Oh God, be merciful. Now, that makes my heart bleed on the inside. What about it? Where we at?

 

  46-5  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  Remember these seven peaks up there... They could tell you. There's not another peak beyond that; it's on the Continental Divide. It goes right into the deserts from there on: eternity sets in. Seven peaks, right on the Continental Divide, that's the right, between right and wrong. And at the end of that, the Third Pull was the last pull of the range. Is that right?

 110  TOTAL.SEPARATION.FROM.UNBELIEF  PHOENIX.AZ  V-3 N-20  64-0121

  Closing... I was telling you, last night, when I first come here. This is not personally. If you think that, then please just pull down the curtains to your heart. I'm saying this to people who believes.

  It was spoke and told exactly what things would take place, down through the age, and you're all witnesses of that, as you witnessed last night, from the discernment, on down. And how there'd be impersoners, impersonatings, and everything take place.

  But the last thing was to be a great thing would take place. We've been watching for it for years. And we all know when it happened first, when a creation come into existence, the third time. And then the fourth time. Last night I told you the fifth time it happened.

  And it's waiting for this Council of Churches, when it unites, and the Protestants. If I speak Sunday morning, that's what I want... I mean Saturday morning, that's what I want to speak on. See? Now... And then when this gets together, then the Spirit of God always raises a standard against it. See? There's men setting here tonight who's a witness of this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  6-3  WHY.ARE.PEOPLE.SO.TOSSED.ABOUT  JEFF  V-2 N-14  56-0101

  Then He taken me from there, and I seen a great huge tent. I never seen such a tent. And it was packed and lined everywhere with people. And I walked out to the... Looked like I was standing above the people, looking down, where I'd just made an altar call; and hundreds and hundreds of people were weeping and rejoicing after they had accepted the Lord Jesus as their Saviour.  And I looked, and then heard a man get up and say, "Call the prayer line." And people begin to line up over on this side, the left from where I was looking down towards the platform, and they lined all the way up and down the street for a prayer line. I noticed to my left, which would've been to my right if I was on the platform, a little wooden building. And I seen that Light, that all--they have the picture of, you know, that's always in the meetings; I seen that Light leave me, and go to that building, and go in that building; and a Voice said to me, "I'll meet you in there; that'll be the third pull."  I said, "Why?"  He said, "Well, it won't be a public show like they had it." And I came to.  And I... Now, at the beginning of this new year, back to my tabernacle where I started from (See?), back to the beginning where I--I started... I--I am very grateful to God for these things.

 

 18-6  WHAT.IS.A.VISION  CHI.IL  V-2 N-9  56-0408A

  And just then... Now, here's something. Notice close. There's a difference between the Angel of the Lord and that Light, because I heard something a moving, as it does when it comes at the platform at night, kinda like a--[Brother Branham makes a sound "whew"--Ed.] and like a fire whipping around--licking blaze. And It left me, and it went right down over the top of that audience and went and stood over the top of that little building, then settled down on top of it. And then when it did, this One that was standing by me, behind me, the same voice, the Angel's voice, He said, "I'll meet you in there, and this is the third pull, but nobody will know nothing about it."

  And I said, "Well, I don't understand why in there. Why there?"

  He said, "It will not be a public show this time."

  I said, "I don't understand going into that closet, like that."

  And He said, "Is not it written by our Lord, when thou prayest, be not like the hypocrites who like to be heard before men, but enter into a secret closet and pray to the Father Who seeth in secret, and He Who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly?" It's perfectly to the Scripture; every time it is.

  And I said, "I understand."

  Then He took me to this place and set me down in this room where I was at, and then He told me what to do for the third time.

  Now, Christian friends, that'll--when I leave this world, that'll still be in my bosom. When I... But you mark my word what's going to take place when that...

 460-6  {24}  QA.ON.THE.SEALS  JEFF.IN  63-0324M

  Don't try to make yourself odd to be a Christian, because (You see?), you take yourself away from God and you--you--you... If you can understand it, this is that third pull. You should've caught that the other day. See. So then just...

  You remember, there'll be no impersonation like there was of the other two. See? So that's as far as you--you should know. Now just--just remember that you see now there's something taking place in this room, and there's something here, there's... There's actual in this room, Angels, voice of God (See?), but how do you... You can't... If you can't hear the natural voice without something to send it out, how are you going to hear the spiritual voice?

 468-1  {76}  QA.ON.THE.SEALS  JEFF.IN  63-0324M

  Now, but see, you can't say those things; best to just leave it alone. And you remember the third pull; it said, "Don't tell nobody." What did I say was that... How many remembers that? Oh, sure. Remember standing there trying to lace that eyelet in that little shoe in the vision? He said, "You can't teach Pentecostal babies supernatural things."

  And I said this will be the third pull and it will not be known, so help me, by the grace of God. Now, now, we're--we're right down at the end time now. Won't be too long until mercy seat will be judgment seat.

 558-4  {258}  SEVENTH.SEAL.THE  JEFF.IN  63-0324E

  If you want something to happen... Now, you'll have to take my word for this. If I'm planning on doing something, I know better than to tell anybody about it. Not that that person will tell it, but Satan will hear it. See? He can't get it in my heart there, as long as God's got it closed up with the Holy Spirit, so it's between me and God. See? He don't know nothing about it until you speak it, then he hears it.

  And I'll try... I'll people I'll do a certain, certain thing, and watch the devil cut off every wheel he can to get there (See?), to beat me to it. But if I can get the revelation from God and just don't say nothing about it, then it's different.

  Remember, Satan will try to impersonate. He will try to impersonate everything that the Church will do. He's tried to do it. We've noticed it through the antichrist; but this is one thing he cannot impersonate. There'll be no mimics to this (See?), 'cause he don't know it. There's no way for him to know it. It's the third pull. He just knows nothing about it. See? He doesn't understand it.

 563-5  {299}  SEVENTH.SEAL.THE  JEFF.IN  63-0324E

  And just then He picked me up. And He took me up and set me way up high to where a meeting was going on, looked like a tent or a cathedral of some sort. And I looked, and there was a little box-like, little place over in the side. And I seen that Light was talking to somebody above me, that Light that you see there on the picture. It whirled away from me, like that, and went over to that tent, and said, "I'll meet you there." And said, "This will be the third pull, and you won't tell it to nobody."

  And in Sabino Canyon, He said, "This is the third pull." And there's three great things that goes with it, and one unfolded today, or yesterday, the other one unfolded today, and there's one thing that I cannot interpret, because it's in an unknown language. But I was standing right there and looked right straight at it, and this is the third pull coming up. And the Holy Spirit of God... Oh, my. That's the reason all heaven was silent.

  And there was three outstanding peaks. He said, "Those three peaks are the first, second, and third pull. The first one was your first part of your ministry: small hill; then your first pull, pretty high. (You know, sign in the hand.)" Then there's a little interval in there, the time that I was taken off from being too tired. Many of you remember it. And then come the discernment, the second pull. Now, I've had another, about few years here of just kinda little peaks (See?), back like my ministry wasn't just... And then come the third one.

  Three is a number of completion (See?), the third one. The next peak was five, number of grace. And the next peak was seven, a number of--of perfection: the end. "Six days shall ye labor; the seventh is the Sabbath, the end of the week, the end of time." See? And I stopped and I showed it to Billy. And I looked at them. And He said, "That... Let that stand. If there's ever a doubt in your mind, remember this place; come back here."

 61-6  INDICTMENT.THE  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-19  63-0707

  Now, Lord, confirm It right now while I'm before Your throne. Take every one of these people, Lord; take the world out of us. Take me, Lord, while we're in Your Presence. Just take the Word; wring our hearts. God, right now, pull the world and the care of the world away from us. Let us be consecrated Christians, O God, to be loving, and kind, and sweet, bearing the fruit of the Spirit. Won't you, Lord? We're before Your throne. Sin has left a crimson stain on every one of us, but Your Blood can remit it, Lord, and make it white as snow. Grant it, while we're waiting upon Thee. Take us; we are Yours, consecrated our lives to You. In Jesus Christ's Name. Grant it, Lord, to each one of us.

  Wring my heart, Lord. I see all my errors; I see my mistakes. God, from this time I'm trying to live the best that I can to help You. I want to go... I want to consecrate my life anew to You across here this morning. After bringing this indictment against my--my clergyman friends out there, and have to say these hard things; but, Lord, I did it by Your inspiration. I feel that You told me to do it. Now, it's off my shoulders, Lord. I--I'm glad that it's off. Let them do with it whatever they will, Father. I pray that they'll accept it.

  I pray that You'll save every one, Lord. May there come forth a revival of the just and a great power come among the church just before Its going. It's not hard to pray that, because You promised it. And we're looking, Lord, for that third pull that we know that'll do great things for us in our midst.

 51-1  WHY.CRY.SPEAK  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-26  63-0714M

  "Why cry to Me? Why are you crying to Me when I proved to be with you? Haven't I healed your sick," He'd say? "Haven't I told you things that's happened just exactly? Your pastor can't do that; Me. He can't. He's a man. It's Me, the Lord," that He would say. "I'm the One that did it. I'm the One that tells him these things to say. It's not him; It's My Voice. I'm the One that raises up your dead when they drop down. I'm the One that heals the sick. I'm the One that foretells these things. I'm the One that does the saving. I'm the One that give the promise."

  God, give me courage to take that Sword of the Word that He put in my hand about thirty-three years ago and hold it and march forward to the third pull is my prayer. Let's bow our heads.

  20  HUMBLE.THYSELF  JEFF.IN  V-21 N-1  63-0714E

  The people that I have tried to tell the--this Gospel truth to, and they turn their back on it, and walk away and laugh at It... Now, to me, that seems like it's an insult. I don't care, to me; but to the things that I've been saying It's the truth trying to help them... Like shoving out a boat, and say, "Here, here it is, cross over. Here, get out of that swelling stream; you're going to die. You, you're going to perish there." And they just laugh at you, and walk away. Well, to me it feels like if they walk away, there's nothing more I can do about it (See?), that I can do.

  But I want to run down the bank now and persuade them, "Come on back." See, I've got to have that feeling (See?), 'cause I know there's somebody out there that hasn't come in yet. And I'm--I'm going to fish till... He said...?... the last fish is caught. And I--I want to do that.

  Now. And now, in order to do this, I'm expecting something to happen in a prayer meeting, something... And many of you remember the vision of the--of the last Pull, that Third Pull, rather. You remember, there was something happened just before that: I seen that Light come and go down into that place, and said, "I'll meet you there." Now, I--I'm looking for something to happen.

  29  HUMBLE.THYSELF  JEFF.IN  V-21 N-1  63-0714E

  Now, I'm looking for something to happen, to start that Third Pull into march (See?), and may be the next Sunday morning healing service maybe produce that. I don't know. 73  HUMBLE.THYSELF  JEFF.IN  V-21 N-1  63-0714E

  So much was said till I--I--I couldn't say nothing to make it any better. And I truly believe that it was the Lord that worked this out for Brother Vayle to bring this message, after this morning. 'Cause, you see, it has to work that way. We--we accept that from God. What... There's so many things that he was saying; I--I--I had twenty sermons wrote down here right off of what he said.

  I was thinking here of one little illustration to back up what he said. Now, we look at this watch to find out what time it is. Unless that every instrument in that watch is coordinating one with the other, we'll never know the correct time. Is that right? And that takes all of us, all together, if we want to see the Third Pull really do something for God, and coordination with every one of us together to humble ourselves before God and confess our wrong, and pray, and believe God for these things.

  94-1  CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-7  63-0728

  Not knowing (of course, being spiritual, you watch spiritual things)--not knowing this, God knows it. But if you'll turn and look at the clock, it's on the dot 2 o'clock: the end of the Second Pull, the Third Pull is at hand.

               At the name of Jesus bowing,

               Falling prostrate at His feet,

               King of kings in heaven we'll crown Him,

               When our journey is complete.

               Precious name... (Second Pull has been made manifested.)

               Hope of earth and joy of heaven;

               Precious name, O how sweet!

               Hope of earth and joy of heaven.

 31  HOW.CAN.I.OVERCOME  JEFF.IN  V-4 N-12  63-0825M

  Now, if you know any peoples around anywhere that's sick and wants to be prayed for, you bring them here tonight. See? Now, if you have to bring them any way, get them here. See? That's the main thing is bring them here tonight. We all meet together. That way, it's hard to make calls going place after place; then you leave off somebody and there's a hard feeling. But if I can get them all in one place, then I can pray for them. Now, if you--if the people wants to be prayed for, they... You say, "Will they?" Oh, certainly. They'll be prayed for. Bring them on in, Lord willing we'll be here pray for everybody, 'cause I feel that that third pull is beginning to move. You see? It's within me, and I--I want to pray for everybody.

 42-3  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  And notice, when the Third Pull of His ministry come, the First was healing the sick, the Second was rebuking their organizations and prophesying what they had done, what they were, and what was coming: what is, what will come, what was--what is and will come. That's what He done. Is that right? But His Third Pull was when He preached to the lost that couldn't be saved no more. They were down there where them big painted eyes was. Preached to the souls in hell that did not accept mercy, but were eternally separated from the Presence of God; yet they had to recognize what He was, because God made Him there. Wonder if His ministry climbs out the same way in the last days. As it was, "As the Father sent Me, so send I you. The works that I do shall you also."

 42-4  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  Lost, could never be saved, they had rejected mercy. That was His Third Pull. Now, is there any question? His First Pull, He healed the sick. Is that right? His Second Ministry, He was prophesying. His Third Ministry was preaching to the eternal lost. The three mountains and so forth--the lost, eternal.

 44-6  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  Listen. All those who rejected the message of the hour before doom... The Gospel was preached to the doomed first before they went, without mercy.

  Noah shut up, was a testimony. God shut the door after his Third Pull. After the Third Pull at Sodom, the doors was shut. There was no more mercy. The ten couldn't be found. And the lost had the Gospel preached that could not be saved, because it was yet... Been that way in every age; every age reject the message before judgment. Have they done it again? Is that appearing of that Pillar of Fire down yonder on the river? Is that appearing alone in the message of cutting the women, and throwing the places where it should be, and rebuking those ministers who takes the place with the denomination instead of staying on the Word, when God's thoroughly vindicated that it's Him and not some poor ignorant unlearned thing like a man. It's God. And have we now come to the spot that the Third Pull would return again to the lost eternally?

 50-2  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  Not by speaking in tongues, not by dancing in the Spirit, not by joining the church, not by fruit of the Spirit (Christian Science can out smother any of you on that, see, and deny even Jesus Christ was Divine.); not that, but it's the Word living. There it is. If they would've looked, He was Messiah. He was the living Word made manifest. And a man that's got the Spirit of God in him, or woman, lives--that Word lives right out in them. That's the heart beat, the predestinated. For the Word of the Lord comes to them, and they are the Word to the people: written Epistles read of all men. Is that right? Could the Third Pull be on?

 50-3  SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  Tape people, that's you that's listening to this tape, I wish you could look at this congregation at this time. I hope you're feeling the same way. What if it is? Look at the Scriptures piled in here. Could it be? Is the Third Pull to preach to the eternal doomed that's rejected the message of salvation? "Why," you say, "the church is going..."

  Yeah, they will. They'll go right on just the same. But remember, all this time Noah was in the Ark. The Bride is sealed in with Christ. The last member has been redeemed. Sixth Seal has produced itself. The Seventh Seal brings Him back to earth. The Lamb come and took the Book out of the right hand of Him and set down and claimed what He owned, what He had redeemed. That right? It's always been that Third Pull.

 12-3  LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-17  63-1229E

  Just when Abraham needed a ram, God provided that ram. And He provided the squirrels. He could speak a squirrel into existence, because He's creator, just the same as He could speak the ram. Abraham never asked for it. He was just simply going on to do it, but it showed that Jehovah Jireh was there. When I said that, a humble little woman, for the first time this ever happened (the third pull) upon a human being was a little humble woman that making about two hundred dollars a year for a living; all she got out of her little farm (her husband dead, two children that had turned kinda wild) and come and donated twenty dollars of that to the building of this tabernacle. And Meda had give me some money that morning for groceries (twenty dollars), and I was going to give it back to her that day, while I was down there, so she wouldn't have to pay it, but she wouldn't take it. And when... She was setting back in the corner, and when I said, "Only thing I know that He's still Jehovah Jireh," and little Hattie said the right word.

 21-3  LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-17  63-1229E

  He said, "Wait a minute." With the drawed diagrams and all the pictures and everything else, he couldn't find one trace of it. He examined her over and over. He said, "I might not be able to explain it, but, Mrs. Branham, that tumor isn't there." And she's never had one symptom of it since.

  What was it? Notice, just exactly the way It said: "Before the doctor's hand can touch it." One split second and his hand would've touched it. How perfect is the Word of the Lord.

  Now, there's my wife, and we're both before God. But before the doctor's hand could even touch her body, on the road coming to her like that, something happened. The tumor left. And they couldn't even... He said--I believe it was, wasn't it sweetheart? "I want to reassure you, Mrs. Branham," Is that right the way he said it? That's right. "that that tumor isn't there. You don't have any tumor." What was it? Just exactly according to the Word of the Lord that was spoke. Amen.

  That's the fifth time. Five is the number of grace, a number of f-a-i-t-h too. There's no more doubt in my mind. I know what the third pull is, and I know what it does. Now, be reverent; just keep quiet. The hour will soon arrive, where God is going to do some great things for us.

 21-7  LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-17  63-1229E

  Now, let us bow our heads for a word of prayer. Lord Jesus, I have seen it upon other people, but when it come to my own precious wife, it was in my home then, Lord. I looked at it with my own eyes, felt it with my own hands, and I... Fif--sixteen years before that it was also, Lord, known and revealed by You. When anything is spoken, it must be done. You were showing me, Lord, then that my confidence in what You done for the people, and would let me know, so I could help them. You brought it to pass in my own home. That was the first pull. And now the third pull confirmed the first pull.

  We are thankful, Father. Forgive us of our shortcomings. We are a small people. We are uneducated, more or less an illiterate people, but we are so thankful that we have a great omnipotent God, Who watches over and cares for us, for we don't know how to care for ourself. We commit ourselves to You.

 22-2  LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-17  63-1229E

  Now, Father, I pray that You'll help me; and in this third pull, may, O Lord, as You have been speaking for the last couple of years about it, showing it on marking on mountains, and so forth, and bringing it on up. Now, I was watching to see what it was until it was completely confirmed. Now, I pray, Father, that You'll help me to be more reverent with this than it was before. And may You get glory, as right over this same pulpit, where the first was said, the second, and now the third. And what You have said has come to pass; exactly what You said. We believe You, Lord God.

  Help every one of us to throw away our disbelief, and our superstitions, that we might stand in the Presence of the Living God, knowing that the same God that took that tumor from my wife, that is setting present now: verified by some of the highest medical science we got in the country who examined it, then looked, and pictured it; and now it's gone.

 171  SHALOM  SIERRA.VISTA.AZ  V-13 N-5  64-0112

  Then one time He said about the Third Pull, how it would come by this one way, then by knowing the heart, and then the spoken Word.

 263  SHALOM  SIERRA.VISTA.AZ  V-13 N-5  64-0112

  And I'm sorry, really to have held you like this, but just to get a tape of this now from... If the Lord willing, this is what I'm to speak on at--at Phoenix, Sunday afternoon. Then Monday, I'm going with a little short meetings, and so forth. I purposed in my heart this year, if the Lord willing, I'm--I just cut and tore from side to side. And we all know that the identification, we know what the third pull is, we all--we all understand that.

  Now, you've got--you'll have the tape. You see? And it's... Now, I think it'll just lay dormant for a little while, until the great hour of persecution comes on. That's when...?... It'll speak. It'll be manifested. Just like the five straight signs without failure, perfectly. And now, I think, just wait (See?); just see what does. Now, I'm going the same again, through and through, to find out, short meetings, and we'll try to have--get out every night early. Have just about thirty minutes, talk on something about Divine healing, or something like that. And whenever I get ready to make a tape again, I'll either run down here to the backside of the desert, or else to the Tabernacle, or somewhere, where they can make a tape, where we'll be among ourselves, and I can say what I wish to, like that.

 955-Q-248  QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS  JEFF.IN  COD  64-0823M

              248... this the third pull and is speaking the Word. It seems entirely possible for you to speak the word and one would be completely and fully restored, placed entirely ready for the rapture in the resurrection, the Son of man. This is so, or is it not? And you would do this if properly pressed upon. Would you not "escape all these things (it's got a ditto there) escape all these things and stand before the Son of man"? (Luke 21:36)

  Now, my--my dear friend. See? Now, I think here that you--you--you got a--you got a good statement. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Now, that would be so. You said, "Brother Branham..." In other words, here's what I'm... I don't think that it's... I can... I believe I... Not polishing up what you said, but I believe I can make it a little clearer to people. See? You are believing, because of the Spoken Words and things like that that He said about. And all of you here witnessed the squirrels and all these other things that's been done. But did you notice, that was Sovereignly given. I never asked Him, "Lord, let me do this, speak these things in like that, do these things there." I never asked Him that. He by His own Divine will came to me and said, "You go do this." See? I wasn't asking one thing about it. Moses never asked to go down in Egypt, but was God that sent him down to Egypt. See?

 262  ANOINTED.ONES.AT.END.TIME  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-3  65-0725M

  Notice the very day when this messenger, not when he starts on the, but when he begins to declare his Message. See? The First Pull, healing; Second Pull, prophesying; Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed. No more... There's no more higher order to reveal the Word than prophets. But the only way the prophet can be a-vindicated is by the Word. And remember the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed in the Word. Do you see it? It is then, in that day when this thing is to take place that Jannes and Jambres, the impersonators, will appear again, just like they did when Moses appeared with the original Word to say it; they appear to impersonate it. Just exactly right. Now, you see what Matthew 24:24 is? See? Anointed ones.

 27  WHAT.IS.THE.ATTRACTION?  JEFF.IN  V-8 N-8  65-0725E

  So I've got my mind set on this Message. That's that Third Pull, and it's the one I must be loyal and reverent to.  132  WHAT.IS.THE.ATTRACTION?  JEFF.IN  V-8 N-8  65-0725E

  I went up in the canyon, climbed plumb up where the eagles was flying around. I was watching some deer standing there. I knelt down to pray, and raised up my hands, and a Sword struck my hand. I looked around, I thought, "What's that? I'm not beside myself. Here's that Sword in my hand, bright, shiny, glistening in the sun." I said, "Now, there's not people in miles of me way up here in this canyon. Where could that come from?"

  I heard a Voice, said, "That's the King's Sword."

  I said, "A king knights a man with a sword."

  He, the Voice come back, said, "Not a king's sword, but 'THE King's Sword,' the Word of the Lord." Said, Fear not, it's only the Third Pull. It's the vindication of your ministry."

  And watch, as it went forward, it grew stronger and stronger. And so has the real little minority of the church growed from justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, and now to the coming Capstone, shaping itself up. No more organizations after this. There won't be no more. See? Can't be. See, we're on the west.

  Just to show you, through all types and everything else... And look at those three jumps, three pulls. We'll get into that tonight (See, see?), how we're at the end time. It's just...

  The s-u-n has traveled like S-o-n: S-o-n like s-u-n. The church has come the same thing from the seven church ages and so forth. Civilization's moved right on to the west, and the church has moved right on to the west. And now, if we go any further than what we are now, we come back east again. You leave the west coast you go right back into China, Japan, right back in again. Seven thousand miles across you go right back to the east again. So east and west has met. That's all of it. We're at the end. There's nothing left.

  168  MAN.THAT.CAN.TURN.ON.LIGHT  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-1  63-1229M

  Look. Paul... The early church started in the east; it went from there, jumped across the--the--the--the sea over into Germany. And it's made three pulls. Looky. From Asia down in--in Palestine it jumped across the ocean to Germany. That was Luther. And it jumped from Luther across the English Channel over into England by Wesley. And from Wesley she's jumped to the west coast to the United States. And this, if you go any further, it's coming back east again. This is the evening time.

  Now, when the Methodists and Baptists can't hardly get together because of their organization, but when there's coming a master organization, that we can all get together, all right. "Oh," you say, "the Pentecostals will never receive it." They won't? What'd they do the other day in Missouri? You read your papers, surely. See? You won't? No, not you Pentecostals, you people; but it's not you; it's that government up there that's moving you. That's the head that's turning you. That's right. Don't you go with it. You stay away from that thing; that's the mark of the beast. You get free of that as quick as you can. See? That's an ecclesia... It's that governmental head that does the moving.

 

  110  GOD.OF.THIS.EVIL.AGE  JEFF.IN  V-4 N-9  65-0801M

  Notice. Adam's bride caused natural death to her race, the human race, and the Second Adam's bride, Christ's engaged bride, has plunged the whole church to a denominational death, to take the mark of the beast by the scientific, intellectual, big denominations. "We're Baptists"; "We're Presbyterian." "We're Pentecostals," and so forth. "We got this, and we own more property. We--we're noted by the government; we're all around the world," and all such things. "And the best of the... The mayor of the city and so forth comes to us." Even, "The President comes to have mass said with us, and we--comes to this, that, or the other." The whole world has been plunged to a spiritual, denominational death, the whole church. She's dead.

  You say, "You're covering a lot of territory."

  Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, wherein eight souls were saved, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man. In the days of Lot where three was brought out of Sodom, at that day..." Now, there's already a group already out, remember, but as it was then when the Son of man will be manifested. Look what--look where we're living.

  E-37  SUPERNATURAL.THE  OWENSBORO.KY  56-0129

  I stood not long ago in Rome, where once ruled the world. And there, that great city has now become nothing, but you'd have to dig thirty feet under the earth to find the ruins of it, now one of the weakest, degraded nations in the world. They're not even self supporting.

  I stood in Athens, Greece, where another great empire once stood, and there's not even hardly a symbol of that empire left. And I stood in Cairo, Egypt, where Egypt once knowed and ruled the world and chair of the Pharaohs, and there's nothing left but the Sphinx, and a few of the pyramids is standing as relics of a once great worldwide empire.

  Brother and sister, our great America and our great economy that we have is rottening under the foundations, and someday, I see it in the making right now, she'll lay in the ruins. And you young men today, you young women, with the beauty of youth, the blush of the young cheek, the folly of the young heart, but one day will mold yonder in a graveyard somewhere. Why? Because all mortal has to give a way to immortality. Every nation has to fall, because there's coming a nation that'll not be ruled by men, but by Christ. These things fall.

  E-26  LIFE  JEFF.IN  57-0602

  And I read a article in a magazine one time when I was on an airplane, and it was about Hollywood. And it said that, "Life begins after midnight. You should come down on certain streets and certain things." And they had the picture of burlesque and so forth that goes on. And I said, "How perverted that is."

  You see, if Satan has a kingdom, he's got to have a false economy. He's got to have something that he can present to them to make them think they are living. But it's absolutely on the vice versa side. It's death in the form of life. See? It's a perversion from real life, because...

  Let us settle this in our minds now once and forever. There's only one way to have life. That's right. And to know Him is Life. And that's the only way that we can have Life and no other way for God has only promised Life through Jesus Christ.

  E-22  THIRSTING.FOR.LIFE  CHICAGO.IL  57-0630

  What's the trouble today. We've got too many weak pulpits that's afraid to preach an eternal burning hell, and to warn the people of the things, and letting the church go just as slothfully and sloppy as it can be. And I said, "Honey, where could we start from?" Our nation is corrupted. Our politics is as rotten as it can be. Our factories and our economics is just as rotten as it can be. Even the car industry, it takes you six to eight months to get the bugs combed out of your car. It's on line, assemble line, and throw it together, what difference does it make.

  Our womanhood is broke. Motherhood of America is crashed. The morals is as rotten as in any nation there is in the world. What's the matter? It's because they have loved the things of the world more than they loved God, and they got a perverted. Exactly right.

  Not only that, but our churches is crushed. Little old pulpit, sissified preachers that stands up in... I ain't criticizing no certain ones. But they stand up, and it's a meal ticket. It's an offering, or it's a popular name to get on television or on the air. I wouldn't sell my birthright to Jesus Christ for all the televisions and popularity there is in the world. No, sir. Life means more than these nasty ungodly things. I'd rather have favor with Christ then to be the president of the world. What a condition the world's got into.

  48  ONENESS  JEFF.IN  V-10 N-2  62-0211

  I'm just got to wait here a minute. The whole world's based on that. The whole economy of this nation is based upon false conception. Tell you a little joke on myself; it isn't a joke. But you know all of us love our wives, or, we should. And I was looking at a program here sometime ago out west, been a long time ago, about three years. And in my room one morning I got up, and there was a television setting in the room. And I thought, "Look like bad weather." And I thought, "Well, at eight o'clock they ought to have the news." And I got the little manual; it said news at a certain time.

  I turned the news on, and when I was hearing the news, then I noticed that in the middle of the newscast they broke off to advertise some kind of a goods, some kind of a detergent. And said, "You don't have to wash your dishes anymore, lady. The only thing you do is stick it right down in the water and let it set there a couple minutes, raise it right up and put it on the drain board; it's all over."

  I thought, "I'm going to be a hero when I get home." I put the name of it down, this certain stuff. I said, "I'll tell my wife, 'Look what I can do.'"

  So I went and got a bottle of this such-and-such of stuff, and I squirted it all in the water, told her to continue on sweeping the house, I'd fix it up for her. So I got the children's plate and racked out the crumbs, and so forth, and the egg sticking on it, and dropped it down in the water, and let it set a few minutes, and picked them out, and set them up there. There's just as much egg on them as there was when I put in there. See, I--I'd have lost... My wife would lost confidence in me by that time.

              28. Where is the Scripture that shows that the--that Catholicism will deceive the Jews and get their wealth?

  Now, just where does it say that--that--that the beast will deceive for the wealth; it doesn't say that. But we're presuming that that was... (Now, the other night, you remember... you look to the tape real close.) I never said that's what they would do, I said... See, the Catholics is the richest group in the world, nobody like them. And what they don't have, the Jews has the rest.

  That's where the economics of this country now... We're right now living on tax money, according to "Lifeline," that will--off of taxes, that comes right from Washington, D.C., that'll be paid in forty years from today. That's what we're spending now. That's how far back we are--giving notes. See? On taxes that will be paid in forty years from now... The nation is broke. She's done.

  You remember on the tape, "Sirs, What Time Is It?" I quoted over it, "Remember, something's fixing to take place major." And now it's made the whole nation testify to it. Every newspaper on the Associated Press, and one of our leading magazines, and everything else testifying about it, it ain't all over yet. But what a privileged people, a--a privileged people that's Christian, to know that in this dark hour when there's no hopes according to science there's an atomic bomb waiting for us. And no hopes in our organizations ever getting together; they're consolidating with the mark of the beast... And when all of our hopes that way is gone in our economy, of our Christian fellowship amongst the organizations... It's heading up into Catholicism, which will be a mark of the beast in the confederation of church.

  But it's those who love God and are looking for a reality that... The very God Who made the promise in the Bible, spreads it before our face and makes the church, and the people, and science, and magazines, and everything recognize that He's still God and can fill the promise. What a time.

  Now, listen close. Fallen angels, what kind of angels? Luther, Wesley, Catholic, Pentecostal who kept not their first estate like the angels did and has fell into organizations like Lucifer's main hold at Nicaea... And what have they done? Organized a great ecumenical association of ministers to make an image unto the beast, as the Bible said, and building a Christian economy that'll close the doors of this church and others like it. See Lucifer at his work? I'm trying to bring you the threefold revelation or mystery of God. What did they do? sold out to reasonings of wisdom and education like Eve did, fallen angels did.

  And now, I'm saying this; it's going to be a personal testimony to the glory of God, that it might be that you'd understand in the coming nights of what I--I want to say, if the Lord willing. You'll understand. Like I was trying to say last night, the world coming to a place it's falling apart, politically, socially, economically.

  You say, "Economics? More money."

  Yes, but where's it coming from? We're borrowed on taxes that'll be paid forty years from today. She's broke. She's bankrupt, the nation: not this nation, but all of them. And there's no way ever getting it back. And it's a trap set exactly to swing this nation into something. And all of you are wise on that. Well, who's got the wealth of the world? Who holds it? [Someone says, "Rome."--Ed.] Sure, it does. Rome holds it. And whenever we do, when we get broke, instead of these big merchants tobacco, whiskey, and so forth, like have to get the money; what we'll have to do, either change the currency or borrow the money. And when they do, it's the birthright sold right back, exactly, just as perfect, and just what the Scripture says about it.

  And this entire economy that we have... I was saying it the other day at Phoenix. It stand quoting again, that, "All this modern civilization, the whole educational program, the whole scientific program, is all contrary to God's Word and His will." Civilization is absolutely... There'll never be a civilization in the world that is to come, like this one. This is a perverted civilization. God had His first civilization upon the earth, when He spoke His Words and they come up, every seed of its kind, and in that civilization there was no death, sickness, sorrow. And now we take the things that is in the scientific world, that was put here to hold it together, and pervert it into something, and that brings death.

  Therefore, they are uniting themselves now, and your pastor here and many can tell you, that's reading, that they are--have the ecumenical movement of the--the--the world. And the... There's a Lutheran minister over it. That if there comes a disaster would happen in this neighborhood here; if we are not united with that ecumenical move, then our church can no more be church, and they can use it for a storeroom. Or if one of the brothers would see somebody dying or hurt, and try to minister to him any spiritual blessing, we could be shot for it; exactly right. We can be given ten years in the federal prison for ministering anything, because we're not a member of this ecumenical move. Don't you see the mark of the beast? See?
