This Message is Scientific

So we pray, Heavenly Father, we appreciate the fact that you are here somewhere, Lord, availed from us, but we know that you revealed yourself through the ministry of the Son of Man returning to this earth, and we know the truth as it has been revealed through Christ Jesus and in Christ Jesus, and we're very grateful for that, and it's wonderful, Lord, to be able to praise you with solemnity of heart and yet with great joy and understanding. knowing the fact that you are here, Lord, having come now, bringing us the message, and bringing us, Lord, into the fold, into a place of perfection, Father, because they without us cannot be made perfect, bringing about a resurrection, a rapture, a wedding supper, bringing your people back to earth in order to reign and rule for a thousand years, and then go on from there again. All these things, Lord, make us to know that truly the prophet was correct when he said time and eternity blended. And we are more in eternity than before because the little space of time allotted us here in the flesh. There was a great space back yonder when we were in you, Lord. We know that is eternal. And now, coming from God, going back to God in the way that you want us to be manifested, Lord, we can only pray that somehow in our period down here, Lord, the time of our testing, the time of our sojourn that we have. glorified your name, even slightly, somehow, someway, Lord, that not only have you had pleasure in the fact of Christ's work, and that we are brought into the fold, but, Lord, you've also had pleasure in us, that we have also done your will, even as our blessed Savior, Jesus Christ, our great elder brother, has done. That we, too, have learned obedience through suffering. That we, too, Lord, are come to the place where there is a manifestation adoption here, Father. are pleasing to you, and we have lived according to your word, and that life has been manifested. If it hasn't been, Lord, we pray that you will help us. It might be so. Guide us in our studies tonight, and we give you glory in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. You may be seated. Now, just before we get into some preliminaries and perhaps answer some questions, most everybody who gets tapes, I think, listens to them. And I just want to say to those that... who get the tapes and have supported the Grace Gospel Ministry financially, you'll get a tax receipt as soon as possible. If there's any error, please let us know. Now, the tax receipt will let you know that the book's balanced, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you have full credit for every one of your checks or money orders. And those checks and money orders, according to the IRS, must be listed. And so if there's any listing missing, You let us know because, you see, the books can balance 100%, but if your name doesn't come up on the computer exactly right with what you sent in, like mine last year, I was a few bucks short. In fact, quite a few bucks short. And so I simply had a new receipt made out. So that's what I'm saying to you who get the tapes. If there's any problem, you let us know, and all the figures are in the books. Your checks are return stamp deposited. And the money orders, I'm sorry about those. I don't know how you do that if it is done. But anytime there's any discrepancy, I want you to know that the bank statements and the amount come in are balanced correctly. But the computer might not have shot up every one person's name with the amount given there. And also, I also want you to know that also the people who have given in my ministry, I want you to know positively. that we have not simply taken the money and sat upon it, but last year close to $135 ,000 was distributed. And just recently we found a new outlet that we might help to work in Mexico, and we were able to send $20 ,000 there to that work. And this will mean now that we have supplied people in the year to come, and now we're ready to start over again as the Lord tarries and helps us to supply people's needs. We'll start all over again. giving everything we possibly can because we don't own the money. And we don't even own the cattle upon a thousand hills. The Lord owns those. He lets us have a steak every now and then. And that's what you're entitled to. You're not entitled to the whole cow. You're just entitled to a steak every now and then. So what we're going to go into tonight, I've got some very interesting material here. And, you know, if you have the right magazines at the right time, and I think this is the, well, what is it? It's either the, I think it's the Pompidou Mechanics. Anyway, here's the Pompidou Mechanics of 100 years ago. Here's what they printed. The words mystery and miracle are alike excluded from scientific language and methods, not by virtue of purely logical deductions. But because wherever it has been possible to take deep soundings of phenomena, we have found that they were constantly produced in accordance with the determined relation between effects and causes. It is exactly this, a posteriori determination that constitutes the scientific method. Now, of course, the word posteriori comes, it's a phrase that... It has to do with principle of arguments. And it comes from the word posterior, which literally means that which is behind, or that which was previous, that which you could take something to base it upon. So if you're dealing with scientific data and fact, then you're looking at the double -blind test. You're looking at the exact reproduction, H2O, under the proper conditions, with the proper electric spark. united, and you've all done this in lab and school, two of H and one of O will bring water. Now, this is the challenge to what constitutes the bringing of miracle and supernatural phenomena into the scientific realm. Now, if you've followed me so far, you know it simply means one thing, and that is that whatever is there must follow every time. Show me where William Brandon failed once and thus set the world. Scientific. Now you can see why that I'm as mean as barbed wire and as judgmental as I don't know what. Because my anger rises and I could do mayhem on the very grounds of the complete stupidity of people. Their arrogance, their lack of knowledge, their impertinence to dare to think they could come against God. Brother Branham said this message will be proven by science to be scientific. It is. When did thus saith the Lord ever fail? I was with him and saw it so many times. Never failed. If it was demonstrated in a minute or one day, an hour greater, never failed. H2O is water. Two hydrogen, one oxygen. Never fails. Under the right conditions. Thus saith the Lord, never failed. Miracles and phenomenon, or phenomena, whichever you want to put singular plural, scientific. That's why I talked a bit about Darrow and Bryant. Clarence Darrow, the great atheist. Then there was Ingersoll, the big shot, big mouth lawyer. And he challenged anybody to prove there was a God. And Dowie took him on. Dowie chased them across America. He never caught Ingersoll. Ingersoll refused to tangle with Dowie because he knew that Dowie had called the bluff in Chicago, outside of Chicago, when he pointed that there is a God in heaven. And they said, all right, then make it rain. And he said, we'll do that. And he stood there with his skies as brass and he called upon God. And the deluge came within minutes. So much for your stinking scientists. You're stupid preachers. You're lousy teachers. You're serpent seed. So, you catch what I read? A hundred years ago, they printed it. Less than 100 years, God came on the scene with thousands and thousands of thus saith the Lord. It never failed. You see, if you and I were certain churches near here, I'd lead the praise screaming and jumping and jumping over benches. But I have a teaching ministry, and I've got to calm myself down. Let's talk about the mysterious gene pool. Research says men's Y chromosomes traces. Now, they've got traces of Y chromosomes. Science has looked into it. So we're going to be somewhere in Africa. Where did Brother Brown say the Garden of Eden was? Africa. A certain preacher, sort of, let everybody know how clever he was, put it. someplace else, and I had to laugh because he was going to be such a great leader. If he didn't know where the original government of God was, I don't think he knows too much about where it is now. Pardon my sarcasm, but you don't have to pardon it. Hey, I can live with it. Somewhere in Africa about 150 ,000 years ago, a boy was born who passed on his Y chromosomes to most of the men in the world today scientists have found. Now, this is scientific phenomena. They examined thousands and thousands of cases. Discovery of this genetic almost -atom fits with the theory that modern humans arose in Africa and then spread throughout the globe, scientists said. Here's what they said. Virtually all men in the world traced back to one male. Remember I told you when I read to you years and years ago, 3 in 20? Eve was the mother of all living. He didn't say that Adam was the father of all living. He said just Eve was the mother of all living. Said Peter Underhill. Well, he's over the top, sounds like. Said Peter Underhill, a molecular biologist at Stanford University in California. He presented new findings in Baltimore. Hey, that's your belly whack over there. Recently at the annual meeting of the American Society for Human Genetics. Scientists at the University of Arizona in Tucson have teached a similar conclusion. Andre Hill and his colleagues from the University of Texas Houston Health Science Center, Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Institutes of Pakistan, South Africa, and Sudan studied the Y chromosomes from ethnically diverse men around the world. The Y chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes. Men have the Y and one X chromosome, and women have two X chromosomes. The Y chromosomes get passed on only from fathers to sons, and it changes very little every generation. But science has been able to find a few spots of the Y chromosomes that differ from among the men of the world. Based on these differences, a family tree can be drawn that shows the relationship among the globe's men. And one of the differences, because it's present in more than 90 % of the men tested, suggests that there's a common ancestor that passed on his Y chromosome to most of the men alive in the world today. Actually, the figures are read before we're 99 .99. The new results mirror research that scientists have done on a special... known as the mitochondrial genes that passed on only from mothers to both daughters and sons. Those studies suggested that a woman often referred to as the mitochondrial Eve, who lived in Africa between 100 ,000 and 200 ,000 years, is a source of mitochondrial genes for all human livings today. Now, the question was asked, and I answered it briefly, how was it that...

The serpent seed was passed on over the flood. And Brother Branham categorically said it was passed on throughout the women. Now, what are we reading here? You follow? We're talking about the women. The women passing it on. They got those Y chromosomes in there. A man has an X. He has a Y and an X. See, the Y chromosome is passed on only from the fathers to sons. Science has been able to... find a few spots on the Y chromosome showing that a certain number come from a certain father and the rest come from others. Now, the study suggested that a woman, often referred to as mitochondria E, who lived in Africa about 100 ,000, 200 years ago, is the source of mitochondria genes for all human living today. So you see, the woman does contribute. See, many people have an idea because a male carries the germ that sparks life. That the woman really doesn't contribute as though she had no life. Well, there's got to be some life in there for the male to meet with the female. Because let's face it, the woman came from the original male. Eve was a part of Adam. And the only difference lay in the sex on the grounds for reproduction. Now, it's kind of, in italics, it's kind of interesting that the male and female times are the same, said Doug Wallace, an elected biologist at Emory University in Atlanta. It's very much a similar kind of picture. Now, Emory University there has a big background of Baptists. This should be interesting for the Baptists. I won't say any more. Genetic material is made of DNA. It's a long chain of chemical links that serves as a set of instructions that guide every biological aspect of an organism's life. There are four types of links, abbreviated A, G, T, and C, and the order of certain key links determine many of the characteristics of the organism. Underhill and his colleagues studied more than 90 links on the Y chromosomes of 900 men from around the globe. One of the links was a T in more than 90 % of the men tested from Asia, Europe, Southwest Pacific, America, and much of Africa, and an A in the rest of a few Sudanese, Ethiopian, Khoisan, also known as Bushmen. The researchers also examined the equivalent link in the humans' closest living relatives, chimpanzees and gorillas, and found an A. Because chimps and gorillas existed before humans did, the researchers could conclude that the most recent common ancestors of all three species had an A at this link and that T appeared in Africa sometime after modern humans evolved. Of course, they're just guessing now, you know. The few men in Africa who still have the A may be the only men in the world who did not descend from the ancestor with the U or T link, Underhill said. There's an echo of this ancestral state and you can only hear the echo in Africa. The Arizona scientists found a similar result. But by studying a different link on the T -chromosomes, after examining more than 1 ,500 men worldwide, geneticist Michael Hammer and his co -worker found a G, and most of the men that had in some African groups remained an A. Similar to the Underhill study, the holdouts were Samethiopens and Kloysen. But until the scientific study, both of those links on the same men, they won't be able to know which change came first. Hammer added that by studying other links on the Y chromosome, he also picked up signs of males coming out of Africa and going to Asia and then returning to Africa later on. His studies have been submitted for publication in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution. So is evolution. While the new studies do fit with the theory that modern humans arose in Africa, they also fit with the competing idea that modern humans also separately arose in Europe, Asia, Africa, Hammer said. You see, they're trying to do something they can't do. You're trying to prove evolution won't work because now they got out of Africa and find the same thing literally all over the world. The studies done so far simply can't distinguish the two possibilities, noting that some genes should trace back to Africa under both models. Hammer noted that genes from other chromosomes still need to be tested. Other genetic materials surviving today might suggest that modern humans arose at the same time in Europe or Asia as well as Africa. Now you see they're talking sense. The fact of the matter is it started there in the garden and even spread out. That's all. And they're still as stupid as ever. It's like the old farmer brought in a hog tooth or something from a farm. He buried it on the farm. And the scientists, they said, man, it must have been giants living around there. Well, he said, no, I had a hog pen out there. They're smarter now. They can tell a hog tooth from a human tooth. But back then, it was pretty, pretty horrible. In fact, he said a recent study by another researcher was inconsistent with the Africa origins theory. See? They're all... They're right. It started there in the Garden of Eden. That's where it started. Right in the kingdom of God on earth. Satan came down. Thou wast in Eden. And what did he do? He picked up the smartest thing outside of God's own sons. Just like the devil was the smartest outside of the Son of God. So now he picked up the smartest animal. In fact, he said a recent study by another researcher was inconsistent with the African oranges theory. And Hammer noted mitochondrial Eve and Y -chromosome Adam didn't necessarily know each other. Yeah, how about that? See, they can't understand serpency. They can't understand that the origin of the species, one from the hand of God to Adam and Eve, the other which mixing everybody up is Satan getting an animal, mixing with Eve. So human and animal have come together. Nor were they the only people around at the time. At some point in human history, their sets of genes apparently outnumbered and eventually outlasted the rest of the world. So, you see that Brother Branham's message on serpent seed is scientifically correct. Two fathers from one mother. One mother brought it all in. Now, so much for that. Not too long ago, I mentioned there came to my mind the conditions of the last depression, which were 1929, of which... I fell heir to to no fault of my own. I hated it and would hate to think anything like that would happen again. But they had a period of deflation. And that meant that there was no money around to buy anything that was available. The availability was there and they thought they could solve it by destroying the availability so that perhaps the money would be able to cover the products. And so what came out under Roosevelt, which was terribly erroneous, was to cut back on production so that instead of two chickens in every pot, at two bits apiece there would be one chicken in each pot at 50 cents apiece. So nobody got ahead, except he had one chicken less. There just wasn't any money around. And so deflation has begun to be spoken of. And it's not too well received because people don't really believe that with the amount of money around, so -called, and nobody knows where it came from, where it's going, that it's out there, and it can be distributed. Somehow people will have enough to be able to keep on buying the supplies. Yet there's a great fear that now, with the devaluation of Asian coin, there'll be a great dumping process in America. So therefore, what we have found here in agriculture, where it's not profitable to raise apples in Ohio, New York, and the farmers have plowed under their orchards, except for very few, they can import apples and things from South America. So it's much, much cheaper. And the point will be then, if South Africa has some apples, we don't have any money. We aren't growing any apples. We're not going to have any apple pies pretty soon. You're looking at a pretty tough situation. Now, this little magazine I got a long time ago. One time I ordered it, and then I didn't like it. I didn't take it anymore. But Frank Proctor ordered it for me. So I read it, and I appreciate Frank sending it to me. So I'm going to read to you tonight. A shock to the system. And here's what is said in Buenos Aires and in the Kenya Times and in Singapore, again in Buenos Aires, and again in Munich. Here's some of the reports. Globalized risk. For the first time, globalization has become a dirty word because risk is now globalized. So that tells you. Globalization is a marvelous thing until something hits it. The big one -world idea, no borders, great commerce, everything rolling. Great. See? But watch out. So, okay, for the first time, globalization has become a dirty word because risk is now globalized. Modern share investments, futures, and derivatives. may be infinitely more sophisticated than pyramids selling in Albania, but seem to end the same way. What happened in Albania? Word got out that you could double your money in 24 hours or less. Like the pyramid scheme they had in Hollywood, where somebody was smart enough to get just enough money from a few people, and he saved it himself, and he said, I can invest your money and get double back in no time. So he got a couple of popular Hollywood birds, and he doubled their money, And the word spread like wildfire. So as the money came in, he would double the guy's money, each one, on the suckers that came in. And that brought in a whole influx of suckers. Then he pulled the skids, and he went off with all the millions of dollars. Albania had the same thing. So what they're saying here, what's going on in this great global enterprise, worldwide financial system, can end up... As it did in Albania. Gone. Every nickel gone. Every savings gone. Pensions gone. It's gone. Now, where did it go? Who's got it? I don't know. Good question. Next. Currency shark alert. It now seems as if Western business is not as solid as it's touted to be. Third world leaders cannot help but look more closely and with greater suspicion at the activities of the currency sharks. What's currency? Money. Tycoons who are using their huge financial resources to destabilize currency in order to make windfall gains. Note Soros making the Bank of England collapse. The thing that you and I read about for years, no way can anybody at any time ever dabble in currency and do anything about it. It's just too big. And it was a lie. It was done by one man who was a billionaire. When the stock fell recently, he lost a half a billion dollars. How many billions has he got? I don't know. But people are now dabbling in such a way as to destroy the currency system. Now, what did Brother Branham say about the currency system? Paper and gold. Okay, let's keep reading. Discipline needed. This is from Singapore. Wall Street's carnage, it's worse since the crash of 87, shows just how closely intertwined the global economy is. The reverberation should make laid -back governments more sensitive to the need for market and financial discipline. Greater transparency accompanied by less cronyism in the economies afflicted by the scourge will be an important long -term benefit. In other words, there are certain guys that are running things. They're cronies. Now, who are they? Are these the Bilderbergers? The Trilateralists? Who are they? Somebody? If Soros could do it, one man and laugh. At the United States Senate, when

they asked him questions, he just laughed. He said, you wouldn't understand.

The right investment, Buenos Aires. Whatever the final outcome of this crisis, we may hardly return to the exaggerated euphoria of the past two years. Reality indicates it's time to reduce expenses to the measure of effective incomes. If there's any investment to be made, it is in good sense. Now, how can anybody have any hope at all, still buying stock at inflated prices, hoping that by the time they're 65 years of age, the stock that you're buying for $100 today is going to be worth $350, and you're going to find somebody to sell it to and have a happy, happy time in Hawaii. All that the government did years ago to safeguard the people was washed out as seen by the SNL fiasco. Even unions today are trying to invest money in the stock market. Will the government step in? No, it won't step in. Unless it's a miracle because Clinton and these fellas are making too much money. What to get into power. So the cronies are there. What was it this one guy said he spent $300 ,000 to the Democrats as tammers? He said next time it'll be 600 ,000 was worth it. I don't mind. Hey, it's all going to go down. Next, the real storm. This is from Germany. And they ought to know a few things. They really went through hell after the first war and the second. Asia is the cause of great unrest in the financial world, but the real storm is brewing in Tokyo. Not just because Japanese banks stand to lose 200 billion in the region, but due to grave problems in Japan. How long can Japan's banks and with them the country's entire economic system remain solvent? Solvent means you've got something to work with. How far can the stock and chain barometer drop until the banks and corporations' hidden reserves prove to be nothing but air? What are the figures I told you some time ago that I read? I don't know if I'm 100 % right, but isn't it right if you and me put $2 billion in the bank down here? They would lend out everything but 4%. Well, they had some smart guys, like recently I read, where they got one fell up for actually turning into the government. I don't know how he did it, but he got back hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars by just asking for it. You beat the Irish nickel, they'll take your head off. Nothing but air. In other words, the so -called reserves aren't there. And the government, and you see on the bank it says the Federal Reserve, or what is it, not that Federal Reserve, but the government has guaranteed that you will get your money out of this bank. The last I heard, there's nothing left. If there is, it's like the Social Security. They spent it on something and put a great big IOU in there. I mean, I said, if you and I could go downtown and... Buy a brand new car for 40 ,000 bucks and say, I owe you. Take the car merrily down the road. Say, well, just a minute now in my lifetime, I'm going to make a million dollars because the wages are going up and I'm only 20 years of age. My wages are coming in. I got news for you. Your potential to work and make money is not a credit. Hitler tried it. You can't take and say this is a piece of gold or silver. This is something worthwhile. You could be dead tomorrow morning by tonight. Of politics and markets. In Hong Kong, we are seeing a dramatic illustration of politics interfering with the marketplace. When all the countries around it were devaluing for commercial reasons, Hong Kong should have devalued to allow its currency to remain competitive. But for Hong Kong, the link in the United States dollar was a question of face. Now, let's get this fact. Seventy -four percent of all commerce in the world is controlled by American money. That hasn't changed. That's why the Eurodollar, as far as I'm concerned, is simply a laugh and a farce. And all the good Christians out there that think it's going to be some big deal don't know what Brother Branham said. The Jews have the paper and Rome has the gold, so forget about Eurodollar. And America builds the image. Not only was it an important symbol of equal status between China and the U .S., it also seen as vital to the independence of Hong Kong. If that U .S. dollar tie were lost, Hong Kong's rulers reasoned, Hong Kong's currency would merge with that of Beijing. In business terms, the cost of that political decision would be horrific. It remains to be seen whether Hong Kong will handle itself. Now, everything I read, you get the picture I'm trying to tell you. Money, money, money. Paper, paper, paper. Investment, investment, investment. Stock, stock, stock. And what's behind it? Hot air.

That's what I'm trying to tell you about what I'm reading here. Get the picture. Get the picture. I could take script. Which isn't backed by anything except the government says there's some little group of people in the town. And they've gotten away with it here in America. And I've read case after case where they, not case after case, there's no multitudes, but different cases and the government doesn't do a thing. The local council issues script. And this guy may get $25 in this piece of script paper. He goes over here and this guy, for this guy, $25. When it's gone through 40 or 50 hands, it could go back to the bank, and by that time, the counsel's got in the real money, takes the script, rips it up, and puts the 25 bucks there. And yet it's done maybe $3 ,000 worth of business. So the whole money system is a bunch of hogwash. It started out years ago by actual value, where people had gold plate and silver plate and jewels and things of value. And they wanted to keep them safe. So they put them in a place where it was kept safe. Then it came to the place where they could say, well, look, I need that, but I don't want to give that all the way to this guy. So they'd write it, like somehow they worked it out, and that's where your banking system started. A piece of paper. And you'd pass that piece of paper out, and the guy'd say, it's good for so much. It's just like script. But at that time, there was gold and silver and things behind it. Today, it's hot air. And yet it shouldn't be. For the very reason you can't drink gold, you can't eat gold, but you can eat an apple. So if I had 20 apples and you had 20 pounds of gold, and you were the only person left and I was the only person left, do you think I'd give you my 20 apples for your 20 pounds of gold? Hogwash, you'd have to kill me first. I'd laugh in your face for your 20 pounds of gold. I've got 20 apples. But you say, well, Brother Bill, you couldn't be nice and say, well, let's eat 10 apiece and die. I would do that, I think. But you could keep your gold hanging around your neck. Or you could melt it down and take gold shots and see if you could take it with you. Hong Kong share investors often abhor it heavily. And many of its companies adopted a similar strategy. The higher interest rates required to hold the currency hit the stock market first and it has fallen a sickening 50 % from its peak. Now let's go over that again. Hong Kong share investors. often have borrowed heavily, and many of its companies have adopted a similar strategy. That's these big companies, the whole complex, have borrowed heavily, heavily, very heavily. Now, where did they get that money? Often people like you and me put money in the bank, or somehow. Then it's put on a record, and paper starts floating back and forth. So, actually, money is not transferred. It's merely a matter of bookkeeping is transferred. ledger work and so on. Now it says, the higher interest rates required to hold the currency hit the stock market first and has fallen the sickening 50 % of the peak. That will translate to the price of residential units in Hong Kong, most of which carry big mortgages. Aha, so they took the money and they built great big apartments, great big buildings.

And all these companies now, factories and the whole bunch now, they bought a lot of money.

Now, The guy, evidently, that's got the money to lend is right on top of the heap.

But his money's all out there.

These guys have to make a profit to pay that money back. The interest rate is so high, the competition is so fierce, that the stock begins to plunge. The stock begins to plunge. The people lose their jobs. They can't pay for their homes.

They haven't got money to work with.

Yet the money hasn't gone into thin air, as far as I know. You have deflation.

It's by the Limbaugh trying to tell us there's lots of money out there. Don't talk to me about deflation. Limbaugh is Limburger. He stinks. Nice guy. He hasn't got a clue. Hasn't got a clue. Because he's a money man. He's a millionaire. He's like the rest of them. Millions and millions of dollars are spouting off. Now, I'm talking about money. Because this is what we're talking about. These guys borrowed. They borrowed money.

See? And the people that bought stock. You're not supposed to borrow money to buy shares in stocks. That's their savings. And those stocks represent holdings and companies. Now,

if there's no money coming in and the companies fail, you've lost your shirt.

That would translate to the price of residential units in Hong Kong, most of which carry big mortgages. In turn, that would wreak havoc with the Hong Kong banking system because many residents will be insolvent. It means they can't come up with your payments. So now the bank's got thousands and thousands of apartments and nobody can pay for them. And thousands were in the building. They'll never get finished. Japanese and other Asian investors have erected a huge army of manufacturing plants producing cars, computers, appliances. Because the projection showed huge growth in Asia, there was no overall check on how much capacity was being installed. Production capacity in Asia is now substantially greater than the entire world's likely demand for cars, appliances, and computers. So now they'll shut down what? One factory in every three?

What if that's one -third the population out of work?

With their currencies, depressed Asian countries will be able to market these goods at a very low prices in the developed world. And this is going to increase world tensions. I am not sure what Americans, who are so powerful, they're setting the world trade rules will take easily to what they describe as cheap Asian goods.

How many of you bought little teddy bears and things for kids this year? Finally, one that wasn't. finally one that wasn't made in China. And

remember, years ago, when the Japanese had trade before the Second World War, I used to buy their celluloid combs and celluloid heel grips and little toys out of celluloid. And they were kind of a niddity -diddity -fiddity -faddle little manufacturing outfit. But now look at them. They've got the Honda plant, got the Toyota plant, got Nissan plant, got every kind of plant in the high heaven. They bought into, we bought into.

Boy, they don't need little combs anymore for your hair to catch on fire if you've got too close to a gas stove. Remember those, me? Oh, you've got to remember those, me. You must have bought a few yourself.

They were in the world not too many years ago, actually. As a result, there will be allegations of human rights violations and protests about Asian goods being allowed in while the U .S. ability to export to Asia is restricted. Now, you know, listen. The point is this. All this talk about our goods being restricted, going to Asia, it's a bunch of hogwash. They can't afford them. We're going to go and dump them over there?

If we produce things for $3 that they can't buy for $1 .50, are we going to subsidize it? That's all. Too many people got too greedy. Flashpoint Japan. You want to hear any more, so I quit.

You didn't say anything, but I tell you. Let me read a little bit on Japan here. Southeast Asia deflationary typhoon is set to spread westward.

Deflationary. Deflationary. Ain't got the money, honey. Ain't got the money. The flashpoint is now Japan, where Nikkei stock market index is sunk below the crucial 16 ,000 level. Below this, Japan's banks are in serious trouble. Now, how can a bank be in trouble? They lent all the money out. Like us, all but 4%. And

then it comes down to real hard cash now. They can't even pay their own employees. They don't give us our money back. You know, during depression, when people borrowed money and they couldn't pay it back, the banks finally said, look, we'll cancel the interest. Just please give us the principal back. The interest might have been greater than the principal. I

got a kind of a bad spirit in here tonight because I'm telling you all these things and it might make you nervous. But the thing is, look, I was through this. I don't want to go through it again. But if I have to, I'll be going through it. I can't change anything. I got to stand here. This isn't the Bible, but this is what Brother Branham told us was coming. And this is it. Somebody's got the paper. Who is it? Where is it?

Ain't going to be worth a plug nickel unless Rome comes in and stabilizes the currencies. And this is going to be worldwide. And I want to keep something in mind when I'm finished. And if I don't tell you I'm finished, you raise your hands and say, what were you going to tell us? A fall in the yen now regarded as a matter of when, not if, will put the earnings of corporate America under intense pressure, a scenario in which a real Wall Street crash would be only one of our problems. For what it adds is a third side to the most deadly economic triangle seen since the 1930s, deflation, devaluation, and now protectionism.

More needed is the domino effect on confidence in financial assets around the world. The Brazilian currency, seen as the weakest link in the South American chain, is feared to be as much as 30 % undervalued. Similar rumors are making the rounds around the vulnerable Russian and Eastern European currencies. Anyone who thought the events in Southeast Asia could serve as an instant efficacious correction to our own overblown stock markets was rudely awakened. by the size of the 37 .5 billion rescue package for Indonesia. And remember, that was blown out of the water.

Just as soon as they turned the page, the ink wasn't even dry, and billions and billions and billions of more money has got to come out. Where is it going to come from? What are those billions of dollars? What does it represent? Who's got them? How did they get them?

This is eight times the figure mooted two months ago, and it comes hard in the heels of a 17 -point billion rescue package for Thailand, thought then to be the end of the matter. This package was to halt a systematic deflation spreading through all Asian markets, especially South Korea and Japan. As if its own domestic deflation were not serious enough, Japan remembers the third leg of the global economic triad. A crippled Japan and a currency plunge here destabilizes the whole. The operation word now is contagious. The operative word now is contagion. This is what they're actually talking right now.

For if the rot does not stop, the International Money Fund, that's the IMF, will be bailing out many more and much larger economies by this time next year, Japan included. The question is... How can they do it? Where do they get it? What are they working on? What are they working from?

That brings in the Federal Reserve.

How come Alexander Hamilton sold us down the river? How come those smart men that left Europe were sold down the river for international monetary system? Is it true that's one of the reasons Abraham Lincoln was killed? I don't know. I read a lot of things. I don't know they're all true. They even say that was true about J .F. Kennedy. Brother Branagh said it was a... syndicate that killed him. Was he really going to try to restore America to its own status, make its own money, and get away from the market? Oh, you'll hear glamorous tales about JFK. I think I'd sooner believe the sex stuff instead of the glamorous stuff about money, what he's going to do, because there's really no record as far as I know.

Russ, did you hear all that junk too? You must have by now. So, we've got a system here that's in need of help, but it's not going to get it. Now, I'm going to tell you something. What this whole thing comes to. I'll ask you a question. What was it the devil was created to do? Come on. Lead in worship. Exactly right. And who is to lead in worship to? God. Being created. And God never changes his mind. Never changes his plan. Can the devil do anything else but direct worship toward God? Now remember. We don't even know who God is when I ask that question.

All we know is everybody believes in God. A very, very minor, minor, minor minority believe in God.

Even evolutions will believe in God and say, well, he created the spark or something else. Now, if the devil, and he did, or since the devil, was created to lead in worship, he cannot help himself. He must direct worship. And he will do it toward God. Until he can take it right to himself.

So, this being our understanding. And this being true. And he's the prince of the power of the air. He is control of all governments. And he is control of the money system. Because that's part of the world government the devil controls. He controls all governments. There is no place he doesn't have his emissaries. There is no place that's not in bondage to him. Because when he said to Jesus, get up on this hill with me, and he left over the whole world, he said, all this will I give you. Now he could not have said that he would if he didn't have it. Because he did have it. And he does have it. So who do you think is controlling the money system? And why do you think he's controlling it? And how do you think he's going to work it? And how is he going to bring everything under his control? He's going to do it exactly as he said to Jesus. I have it all. And I'm going to use this to gain worship. And remember, it was the third and last thing he presented to Jesus.

So the last thing in this earth that's going to tempt the church and test the church and put everybody to the test concerning worship of God or the devil is going to be the world system. See,

you better believe what we're looking at right now is heading up into satanic worship. And remember, the devil leads the worship of God right now of false worship, not in spirit, not in truth, so God will not receive it, but he's still leading it. And he's leading it through the name of Jesus Christ and a wicked principle of Jesus only or Trinitarianism.

You know, anybody can read the Bible. I could take a kid in grade four that didn't know the first thing about God and say, son, look at here. I want you to read this. What does it say? It tells you about God here. Read what it says. This

tells me here that God, there's a God and he's got a son. And that's it. How come the Jesus only don't know it and the Trinitarians don't know it?

He'd never say, God the Son, God the Father, God the Holy Ghost. He'd say, blessed be the God and the Father. Of our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, that means blessed be God who's the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who is this fellow Lord Jesus Christ that he's the Father of?

He asks you questions. Hand this to the theologians, to the churches.

So, all right, that's why I wanted to bring this. I wanted to bring you what is going on. What is going on? And people are living in a little dream world. They don't know that Brother Branagh had been, God's been scientifically proven.

Miracles, phenomenons, signs, wonders, scientifically proven. Thus saith the Lord, because every time he said it, it came right to pass. Every time you take H2 and O under electric spark in the right condition, boom, there comes water. Every time thus saith the Lord, there comes the thing that was said. Scientific never fails. Double blind test. He's turned his back to the people.

He knew what was going on behind Him. He knew what was going on in front of Him. He knew what was above Him and what was going on down below. He even told us those things which were not known from before the foundation of the world. Whoever, whatever textbook ever told you, ever written concerning the light that formed when only God was there, God birthing His Son, and at the same time God giving birth to Himself because He wasn't God until He had the Son to worship Him.

Brother Branagh's language was scientific. You might call it Kentucky Hillbillism, but I call it scientific. My God is a very scientific person. He never fails. So that's what you're looking at. Okay. So that much is taken care of. Now we've got a board here. We just might work on this a little bit and see where we're going to go. Now, I didn't quite finish with you on the fact that the question came up that Eve should have borne Jesus, and I showed you that after all the fact of going into the Alpha and Omega situation, showing you that... that there wasn't anybody that could ever fulfill that under any condition whatsoever except Jesus Christ. So therefore the wheat that was planted that brought forth the wheat that matured, and you see at the end of the New Jerusalem, the Lamb on the throne, the pillar of fire above the throne, God the pillar of fire, that is the Son Jesus Christ and Jehovah Elohim on the throne, above the throne, and we all around the throne and all the rest out there bringing their glory in and so on. You could see positively. that no matter how anybody wanted to read that, there's no way in understanding that God's Word cannot fail and must be fulfilled exactly as He said it, because the Word cannot return unto Him void. And He said to Adam there, in the spirit form with Eve, and they being one, He said, be fruitful and multiply, and do this and do that, take the whole thing over. And there wasn't any way that it was accomplished or could be until and unless... That beautiful one, the only begotten of the Father, led it. So therefore, at that time, he should have been born to implement it at that time. That's why, and I'll go back here now in this book and read you the third chapter. If you want to get the picture, because we've got to be very careful here now. And it says here, I'll put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, it shall breeze thy head. and thou shalt bruise his heel. Now, here

again. Eve was not called Eve by God.

And even Adam did not call her Eve at that time. She was known as the woman. And Adam was known as Adam. And their name was Adam. And she was the female part. He was the male part of that literal oneness. Now he says, he said up here, have you taken, he said to Adam, and eaten what I told you not to? He said, the woman thou gavest. He didn't say Eve. He said, the woman. She gave me. And the Lord said to the woman, not Eve, what hast thou done? The woman said, the serpent got me. Now, he said down here, I'll put enmity between thee, serpent, and the woman. Talking there and there. Now, the point is this. Many people cannot receive this as the actual blunt statement that that Eve had that seed. And could have produced it.

He said, Brother Bale, the point is that nothing was said previously.

You see, there's where you're thinking it's all cockeyed.

Now, I'm going to repeat that. You come back at me and say, and to anybody that says this, Brother Branham included, but sir, God never said that. He never told her that. Then

why should he say then that she had it? And I'm telling you, why would he have had to?

Now, you're thinking. What did I bring out a while ago, some time ago, that you should be thinking very seriously right now, because you have been under my ministry for year after year after year. And if you are not thinking now, I don't think you ever will learn to think. But you should be thinking.

What did she know now that she didn't know before, that God didn't tell her, but

she found out now?

Now start thinking way back.

I'll read it to you because I don't think you're following me. Maybe I'm not fair.

So I have the third chapter.

The serpent was more subtle than the beast. He said to the woman, Yea, hath God said you shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And she said, That's right, we can't do it or we'll die. Now, verse 5. For God doth know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Now I want to ask you a question. Who said that to me? Somebody tell me. Serpent.

Did the serpent get that from God or did he just get it from himself?

He had got it from God. Because right over here, my Bible tells me right here. He said here. Now, verse

22. And the Lord God said, Behold, the man has become one of us to know good and evil.

So under the same premise, the

seed, though not mentioned, to bruise Satan's head or the serpent's head. Because the serpent had not done anything. Was already included in there. So when he said, thy seed, it

doesn't have to say that previous to verse 15 in Genesis 3. Because it's already there. And this is something that you would call after the fact.

Now, we're

going to look at Adam and Eve in the garden here. And the serpent comes along. And he says to her now, Look here.

I want to tell you something.

God's told you that you should not eat of all these trees, especially one of them. If you eat of it, you'll die. She said, yes, that's so. Very true. Well, he said, now look here. I want you to know something. You aren't going to die. The big thing is this. You have not been told the real truth.

The definitive. Revelation. You've got as far as X, but I'm going to give you X squared.

I'm going to really let you know.

Now, you might not realize this, but he was saying to her, and she was receiving it, Hey, let's just come against God. You

and I can get together. And we will foil God.

We'll step up. And we'll begin to position ourselves in a higher order. So that... God's not just in the driver's seat with His Word. But you and I together now, we're able to, with what I present to you, influence God. And we can begin to control things ourselves.

Because look, we don't have to believe in a sovereign God. Now that's the first place sovereignty comes into the human race, and they turn it down flat as a fritter. Okay. So we have here, we

did have,

I think that's stuck. Okay. I'll write it down here. Number one, we have here in the Garden of Eden, premeditated. Right? Premeditated for

perpetrating a

crime. This

little scene in the Garden of Eden was premeditated to perpetrate a crime.

And he came and he talked to her on the scripture.

And he said, What Brother Branham said. Always trying to put something to it. Never ever leaving it alone. So let's put something to it. So number two. We find this is calculated.

One. Deception.

Fraud.

Robbery.

Control.

Seduction.

Etc.

Add to the word. Go ahead. Be my guest. Put something to it.

So the man says, Brother Bale, I believe this, this, this is right. And he said, and the bride gets perpetrated by the bride loving each other. Will somebody find that anywhere?

Okay, let's go a little further. An

accessory before the fact. Now, Russell knows all these terms. I just guessed at him.

Nothing was done, but she became an accessory to the fact, right? He became an accessory for perpetrating a crime. Deception, fraud, robbery, control, seduction. Now, she becomes an accessory to the fact.

That's before the fact. Now, number four, an accessory.

That's an accomplice and

a betting.

The fact. She's

actually entered into all of this. It's

control. Taking away sovereignty from God. Adding to it. I'm going to have a part in it. This is what happened. Number five, an accessory after the fact. Now,

all of these terms are legal. Now,

after it was done, what

did she do? She got Adam involved.

She messed up. She messed up Adam.

Now, Adam's the head of the house. So, in the book of Romans, he gets blamed. It doesn't say it's an Eve all died. It's an Adam all died. But she's the killer.

Okay. Number six, we got collusion.

Secret agent, or it's rather... Secretly against. She's

secretly against for fraudulent or

illegal purposes.

Conspiracy.

Now, that's Satan to Eve.

Now, there's a whole picture. Now, next, we see Satan to

Jesus. Let's

go to Matthew 4.

Matthew 4, after

verse 3, Now, here's perverting scripture again.

He said, you do this.

Now to do this is on the grounds of sustaining his life physically. And this is what Satan got Eve to do, was to commit adultery with the beast and then entice her husband in order to sustain life.

That's why Brother Branham said, the first child should have been spoken word, which I'll get to, just remind me if I don't. Proof to you it should have been. So he said, command these stones to be made bread. which means you can perpetuate yourself because you're starving. And he said, Man shall not live by bread alone, but every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. So then you tell me, if you're a child of God, were you born of sex or were you born of God? Well,

you see, there's a combination that's exactly true. But your sex wouldn't mean a bullet in a cocked head or anything else. If it weren't for the fact you already were, a spoken word on the grounds that you were there, your name put in a book, and your time came when God said when.

Remember, everybody always thought that the first sperm that got to the egg anointed the egg for life, but that's a lie. They found millions of sperm, couldn't get to the egg, ran all over the egg, and didn't do anything until the egg received it.

So it's the old cliche, you're a winner, you won the first race you ever ran, it was a lot of hogwash. So much for science. Then the devil takes him up to a holy city, sets him on the temple, says, Thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it's written, he should give his angel charge concerning thy hands, your beard, your up, and so on. And this says, now you can make God do what you want to do. So he said to Satan, to her, he said, look, we can make God do what he doesn't want to do.

Ladder rain twisted God's arm, they said. Command you me concerning the works of my hand. God, I command you. Well, I'm sure God listened. Oh, I got scared. He said, God's scared, God's scared.

Jesus said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. That's fasting and prayer. Like people do. They enter a closet and say, God, I won't get out of here. You give me a gift. So you do so and so. They even had me fooled on that for a long time. I never could get there, though. But I know people who did. One fellow told me he prayed and fasted and God let him have oil on his hands. And I said, well, that doesn't sound good to me. And he had blood in his hand. But he said, Brother B, he said, changed my whole life. I was so sweet. And I said, oh, God, maybe that's the way to get sweet. That's the way to go to hell.

Do it sweetly.

You don't be so sweet when you get there, though.

Now, how shall I not tempt the Lord thy God? Takes me to a seeding high mountain. And he said, all this will I give thee.

Now, remember God said, control the universe. Control it all.

I'll exalt you to a higher position than just that. Because you see, they were under sovereignty and they denied it and they threw it away. Now, let's go to 1 Peter. I said I'm going to show you positively that every single one of us should have been spoken word. That was the plan. And you are that way now at this particular time.

Now, Peter is speaking here.

And I can't read the whole chapter, 1 Peter. So we just read something. But it says here in verse 18, For as much as you know, you were not redeemed with a couple of things such as silver and gold from your vain behavior received by tradition from your fathers. But with the precious blood of Christ as a lamb without blemish and outspot, who fairly was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was made manifest these last times for you, who by him do believe in God that raised him up from the dead and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God, seeing he hath purified your souls and obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren. I'm going to stop just right here. Brother Branham said this. He said, how you ought to love each other, you that believe this message. I'm going to tell you something. Let's get this flat. If people really believe this message, you're going to find a love amongst you that is a click. Now, pardon the expression. It's going to be literally a click. Because you're going to find a compatibility with each other because you love this message. Now, let's go down the road.

You leave here, but you love them over here. And they can't stand this word that I preach? Let me tell you something. Christian scientists love each other. Pentecostals love each other. British soldiers love each other. Settlers love each other. And when they go into sex, they break up, they love each other.

And where's the love amongst the Branhamites? You think we're all going to just love and put the dirt under the rug? We're going to deny the presence and love each other? Let me tell you flat. Jesus loved his own.

Loved them to the end.

You don't get perfect by loving each other. But the point is, if you really believe this word, you really love each other.

You're a bunch of lazy, bachelored bunch of bums. There's going to be provoking to love. And they're moving on. And they're going. Their minds won't be fed with truck and muck. Because I say, I don't understand people. I can hear women especially tell me every cotton -picking movie, and everybody's in it. And they never see movies. No, no, they don't go to shows, no. There's a bunch of liars somewhere.

I read the papers, and I know who's in the movies to an extent.

I'm not being critical of movies in the sense that if you see a few good shows, you're going to have kids who need entertainment people doing all. I see maybe seven or eight films in one year.

I just saw one the other day that I hadn't seen for 50 years. It wasn't that funny.

I rolled in the aisles when I saw it. Just a clean, crazy movie where the guy threw marbles on the floor and they went spinning every direction for all slapstick. I didn't even get a kick out of the slapstick. My wife would tell you the same thing. We sat there waiting to roar.

I'm not against a lot of things. Brother Branagh wasn't. He should go see Gunsmoke. He saw the Mormons migrate to Utah. He went to see Samson the Lion and hated it. He saw the Ten Commandments about ten or eleven times. Hey,

I'm going to wonder. And I'm no paragon of virtues. I begin to say, my God, leave there your little man on the totem pole. What's going on here? All right, let's go back. Seeing you purified your souls in obeying the truth of the Spirit, unto one thing love of the brethren, see you love one another with our pure heart fervently. Now watch. Being born again. Now watch. Being born again.

Something in you has to come another time. Who

are you? My ears, my nose. Who is me? Said Brother Branham. Who is it? The soul.

So if you've got to be born again, something happened the first time that wasn't right.

So now you get back to the time that was right. So then don't tell me that you should not have been born by the Word because it says being born again. Not a corruptible seed, but by the Word of God. Eve

should have had the seed born of the Word. Yes, Mary, be unto me according to thy word. Now, I ask you a question. Was Brother Branham right? Now, is it as simple as ABC? Is it as clear as water? Do you understand it? Do you love it? Now, let's praise God. Hallelujah. Raise your arm. Praise God. We're not dead. Hallelujah. We're born of the Word of God. We're born right. Praise the Lord. If you want to run the aisles, run the aisles. Be my guest. We're not dead. There's a bunch of nincompoops out there who don't know the Word of God. And we scream at any old thing. Jump at any old thing. Forget it.

Scream and jump with reality. The way the trees clap their hands. In the beginning we shouted. In the beginning we screamed. In the beginning we don't know about. We praise God. But I'm going to tell you one thing. Until you're born of the Word and walking in spirit and in truth, you better save your breath.

Because it's going to go against you.

You didn't think old E .B .L. had dinner, did you? You thought I did. I ain't dead. Just half dead. I'm waiting for the resurrection for the body. Inside the old man ain't half bad.

Being born, not a corruptible word. Corruptible seed. The corruptible spora.

See? But by the word of God which liveth and abideth forever.

That living word to bring us forth would have been already joined with our souls. See, that's when we bypass that word body. We haven't got it even now. But by the baptism with the Holy Ghost is fully commensurate. It's just the same as if we really had it. But people don't want that. That's a bunch of nonsense to them. For all flesh is as grass, and the glory of man is the flower of the grass. The grass with it, the flower thereof falls away. But the word of the Lord endures forever. You see, they wouldn't have died.

Now, if there's going to be in the millennium, it's going to have to be children born of the word. It's not going to be sex, you can tell that. You've got the Mormons all lined up with all the women sealed in for sex. The Mohammedans commit suicide as martyrs, those eleven virgins waiting for him. The Christian knows, born again, no longer the flesh or sex. That's all over. The

kingdom of God is like little children. They simply walk in love. The sexes are there, but it doesn't mean no sex.

What a terrible thing that Eve and Adam did, going against the will of Almighty God. Now, let's just stop a second here. What time we got? How many? Well? Let's continue this tomorrow. We'll take a quick little background on this and we'll finish up tomorrow. And we'll go into a couple of things. Take you to the book of John and show you, hey, I'm going to tell you.

This message is scientific. This message is from God. This message is God in print or vocalized or verbalized, however you want to put it. And we are not a dead bunch of people. We just need to loosen up a little bit, perhaps, to make people a little happy with us, although I'm not too worried about that.

But it's about time we had a looseness in our soul and a praise of God in our hearts and our minds. Because, brother, sister, we're going to be doing a lot of it. We're going to be doing a lot of it. Right now we may seem a little insecure and unsure, but you watch. That day is upon us when there'll be no insecurity, nothing but the most beautiful thing in all the world. So, all right, in the court of law, you can see where we stand. She added to it. She wanted to put something to it. She wanted to do something she wasn't supposed to be.

Adam played God. He was her redeemer. Because pregnant with his child, the same as when Sarah laughed, God's hands at work were tied. All right. Let's bow our heads in prayer. Heavenly Father, we come at this time to look at your word here and to just realize that it's perfect and wonderful and we take communion together. Worship you in spirit and truth. knowing the joy of the Lord and the preciousness of Almighty God. We thank you, Lord, for doing us and endowing us. We've been endowed with the Spirit we've been due. Lord, we stand here before you, knowing that the blood covers us. The Holy Spirit is our surety, and we will be in that first resurrection. We will be caught away. We will be, because we have believed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, in the living God. And stand in his word wholly. By your grace. Adding nothing. Taking nothing. But knowing the truth. As it has been revealed to us. In Jesus name. Amen.
