1991-012a 1291a-Blessing and Cursing

Don't they know Brother Brandon said Babylon is mysterious Babylon, which is Rome? What do they care if Saddam said I'm Nebuchadnezzar and I'm going to build Babylon? Oh, what?

You better listen to the Zionists. They're going to build Jerusalem, the temple, by 1992. So who will go over and take it over? Popey, old boy. I've been criticized for calling him Popey, old boy. I'm supposed to be nice, you know, beware, you know. Oh, you stupid jerks, get out of my hair. Don't bother to phone me. I'll cut you down like I cut the last guy down. That was nice the last time, real nice. At least Bill and Mary thought it was nice. My wife thought it was nice. I was kind of sorry I cut him down because he didn't mean any harm. But I get fed up with these harmless, innocuous guys that come in and set your house on fire. Oh, I didn't mean it. He didn't mean it. Hey, my house burned down. Well, you didn't mean it? Well, that's great. I haven't got a house now.

Don't be stupid jerks, brother and sister. You're fighting for your life, kid. You don't have to be out there mean and take people, skewer them. I'm not saying that. But you better have guts to stand up and be counted. Or you don't belong to Paul. Well, you see, he's a servant to God. The Holy Spirit says, separate me from Paul and Barnabas. Barnabas listened to the wrong crowd and Paul said, no.

He didn't say you're serpents. He just said, get out. Can't use you.

How could he? The guy went around preaching circumcision when Christ was circumcised for us. Not the putting off a little bit of your flesh. It's circumcising your heart and your mind. You don't circumcise your heart unless you circumcise your mind. Come on, come on, come on.

I could illustrate that, but. There's not much point. All right, listen. How could this man Cain be a son of Adam? 1 John 3 and 12 said he's the son of the wicked one.

But the New Testament is not just our only source. We go back here in chapter 32, Deuteronomy, which we read a great deal of it. You said, My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech to still as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, the showers upon the grass. Because I will publish the name of the Lord, ascribed be great as unto our God. He is the rock. His work is perfect. All His ways are judgment. A God of truth and without iniquity, just and right as He. They have corrupted themselves.

What? They corrupt themselves.

Moses said, Give ear, O heaven, and I'll speak. Listen, God, I'm going to talk. Angels, bear me witness. Now, hear, O earth.

That man was challenging the whole world. That he was the voice of God and standing there knowing that he was going to say exactly what God had to say. He said, put it out if I'm one word off. Hey, listen, you've got to have something to do that. Or boy, are you a con artist.

You better have something. And Moses had it. He said, my doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech distill as a dew, as a small rain upon the tender herb and the showers upon the grass. Listen, you people, if you want to grow.

And there's a promise about that. You better get what I got to say. If you want to be nourished, if you want to live, if you want to come into this place, remember Peter called the people grass. He said, if you want something, you better get what I got to say. I'm going to publish the name of the Lord. And he said, you better ascribe greatness unto our God. He is the rock. His work is perfect. His ways are judgment. His word is a judging word right off the bat. I don't care if anybody was there to get it or not.

As soon as his word goes out, there's nobody there. Then somebody rises up. That's what always happens. God had to send his word before there's a man upon earth. His word was already there.

As soon as he put the word there, serpent seed came along and did so -and -so, and God's people did so -and -so. Right there, the word is a judging word. He is a rock, and so on. They have corrupted themselves. Their spot is not the spot of his children. That shouldn't be in there at all. The spot they have is not of Almighty God. God didn't put blemish and things upon his kids. They are a perverse and crooked generation. Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and wise? Is he not thy father that bought thee? Hath he not made thee established? Now right there he's talking to everybody the same as Paul did. Because Paul said in him we live and move and have our being and we are his offspring. You're going to tell me that every single person on this earth is a child of Adam? No way, because Cain was a child of the serpent.

You're looking at the fact. Since the time of Abraham, election has set in perfect. And Abraham, brother, sister, is only a type of election because as soon as Noah was the last true human being without a wife, a true human being, there were no more true human beings.

Uh -uh. All a mixture.

Everyone,

remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask thy father, he'll show thee. Thy elders, he'll tell thee. What's he talking about? He's telling Israel, listen, go back to the beginnings. He's telling the future, you look back to this time. In other words, he's saying, look, there is a people absolutely that are of God and they will receive the blessings of Almighty God and it has to do every single time with a promised land.

Now watch it. He gave the word in Eden. They turned it down. They lost. the kingdom of god established on earth even though physically they were not in that to begin with they were placed there showing you as a human being will come to this place it's got to do with the earth every single time they now here's the exact answer to the flood genesis 6 notice

what happened in the flood And it came to pass when men began to multiply in the face of the earth, the daughters were born unto them. And the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and they took them wives of all they chose. Now God who ordained marriage could not say, I'm sick and tired of you birds. You've corrupted yourselves. If these women were of the same genealogy that the men were, if they were generically and genetically the same, God could not do one thing about their multiplying because he said multiply.

But he didn't multiply right. And these don't multiply right. The Lord said in my spirit and all I'll strive with men that he's flesh. And what's the flesh go to sex? He's going to be cut down to 120 years. And there were giants in the earth in those days. Why? Because the sons of God came into the daughters of men. It was nothing but a big sex brawl. That's where they came to the place there were absolutely no more true human beings left. But these were big men. They were smart men. And they could do just about anything they wanted. And that's how they got started messing with the earth. Because, you see, they would turn down the bloodlines. And when they turned down the bloodlines, the earth had to turn on them. I don't care what any science is producing, it's going to backfire.

Talk about genomes. Billions, I guess. They're trying to index A, B, C, D, F, G, and so on and place them all on each other. Now, you got an article somebody, Dave, I guess somebody put it on the board out there. I read it. But I read an article you didn't read. I read one from a Christian magazine, a Christian. And what they've come across this in their studies is this, that if you follow genomes the way it looks you follow them, there will be a people who do not have a free will. They can't make decisions. And they want everybody in the world to make a decision for Christ.

Can't do it. As many as are ordained unto eternal life believe. Now they can stand there with the power of decision all right, but they'll make that decision that way while the righteous go right to the star of Bethlehem.

All right? Here's what happened. They mingled the seed. They got all messed up. All right.

What do you think happens at the end time?

Can't be going this fast.

No preaching the next Saturday. You don't need to worry about it.

2 Peter. In the second chapter. But there were false prophets among the people, even as there shall also be false teachers among you. Privately shall bring in damnation, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. That means saying no to the Lord. How are you going to say no to the Lord unless the Lord said something?

See, now they won't connect this with Hebrews 12. They won't connect this with Elijah. They will not connect this with Malachi. They'll sit here and tell you, hey, listen, we've got the perfect word of God, period. That's all we ever know. I'll say, what about the seven seals? Well, who cares about it? We've got nothing.

What about your seven thunders? Even Bloomfield was smart enough to know he was going to take someone over in that book. Nice old guy. He's dead now. Many shall follow their pernicious ways by reason of whom the way of truth even spoken of. Now it says many are going to follow. What's pernicious anemia? It's a fast galloping form of where your blood turns to water. It's not just anemia. It's pernicious.

So now at the end time, there's going to be an acceleration.

People turning absolutely from the word of God. And through work, covetousness, with feigned words, make merchandise of you. See? Now, God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, driven them to chains of darkness, to be reserved judgment. Spared not the old world, but saved Noah, the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly, turning the city of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, and condemning them to overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly. Homosexuals. and delivered just lot vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked, right in the churches the people are arguing, can we ordain homosexuals? Are they of God? Is it true sexuality? And right in the church, why don't the jackasses get out of the church?

Because they're jackasses.

They'd sooner sit there and be, oh, isn't it terrible? Oh, it's terrible. Oh, it's terrible. Eating

the vomit.

Oh, sure. I get tired of reading their excerpts. We hate it. We hate it. We hate it. You evidently don't hate it. We need to get out.

Because that's the revelation that's come up among them. It doesn't say stay there and try and convert them. He said a lot. Get out. Because the fire is going to fall. Now the stupid Jews ordained women for rabbis.

Crazy.

Now, the Lord knows how to deliver the ungodly out of temptation and reserve the unjust for the day of punishment. Judgment to be punished. What does he do? How does he reserve? Gets them out.

But chiefly those who walk after flesh and lust of uncleanness, despise government pomp and presumptions of their self, will not afraid to speak of their dignities, and so on. Right down the line. And notice this in verse 12. But these as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things they understand not, and shall utterly perish in their own corruption.

Seed of Adam? Forget it.

The seed has to expire sometime.

And this is that generation, eyes full of adultery. I won't have to read the rest. You know exactly the truth of it. Now, all this is based upon Genesis, the third chapter,

14 and 15. And the Lord said, God said to the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, above every beast of the field. Upon thy belly shalt thou go and dust to eat all the days of your life. And I'll put enmity between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed. It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Now, what does it tell you back here in 2 Peter? Reserved unto judgment. Animals are not reserved unto judgment, my brother, my sister, because they don't have a soul.

That is an inner soul, a gene that's accountable. These here do not have the inner soul, the gene that's accountable as God, as though they're sons of God, but they do have souls, and

they are reserved unto judgment. An animal isn't. What's God going to do judging animals? Don't be silly. It tells you what these are. They sport themselves before you. They don't give a rip. They promise liberty. They themselves are servants of corruption, from whom a man has overcome the same as brought into bondage. Half of the homosexuals try to tell you it's liberty. Half of the women running around taking their clothes off and acting like harlots, which they are, aren't they trying to tell you it's liberty? And every single time they take the step, they get deeper and deeper and deeper into captivity.

Until I'm sorry for the poor married women that are heterosexual, childbearing, are now producing more AIDS than the free -living whore out there or the homosexual jerk on the street. So it's over. Oh, this is not a plague. We can figure this out. Oh, we give them oxygen. We give them this. Well, that's all right by me. You try it. It ain't going to work. These are just guys that promise you something that they can't deliver. See, it's better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than have for knowing it had turned from the holy commandment of delivering. You say, well, when did they get it? Under that man, starting

roughly in 1958 to 1965, seven solid years, and previous, so those were the big years. Christ came down to take over his church, or God, they didn't want to give it to him. Israel did what Genesis 6 did. They mingled the seed until you come absolutely to John chapter 8, where Jesus himself said, you are the children of the devil, the works of your father you do.

44, you are of your father the devil, the works of your father you do. He was a murderer in the beginning, and bold not in the truth, because there is no truth. And who was the first murderer? Cain. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own. He's a liar, the father of it. Who was the first liar? Cain. He said, the serpent was. No. He said, didn't God say? God did say. He said, well, you will really die. That was a lie, all right. But not like this.

He's talking about the murder and liar, and that's Cain. Which of you convinced me of sin? If I say the truth, why not believe me? He that is of God hears God's word. You're therefore not of God because you can't hear them. Told you right there where it is. And today it is, now this way back there when Israel began to marry women they shouldn't have married.

They allowed the people to take to themselves what they should not have taken. They mingled the seed. The same thing was done in 2 Corinthians. When they begin to mingle the error with the truth and end up in Revelation 3, 14 to 23 where we come to the purge which I read to you. The church, the Jew, and the world all become purged. Now, I'm going to try to wind down if I can. Here we are back to 2 Thessalonians chapter 1, 7 to 10. Because this is what we're looking at, the cursing and the blessing, which is in there. Though people get their eyes on the cursing and they simply won't go to understand the blessing. They don't even know what it is because their eye is on this big thing down the road and they don't even know it's gone on already. 2 Thessalonians 1, 7 to 10. And you who are troubled, rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with these mighty angels. All right. When in the world are you going to get your rest? And when is the trouble? The trouble is now today. You that are troubled, you can rest today at the time when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed. Remember these mighty messengers, flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God and obey not the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. who shall be punished with everlasting instruction in the presence of the Lord and the glory of his power. When he shall come to be glorified in his saints and be admired in all them that believe, because there is testimony among his belief in that day. All right, this is no doubt exactly Matthew 3, 11 to 12, whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly purged his floor, and gathered wheat in the garden. It's no doubt also over here, Matthew 24, the division of the people. When the word of God comes, they separate. It's also the time of Luke 17. When it's the time of Noah and the time of Sodom and Gomorrah, when the bride is separated from the world. There's a separation. That's exactly what we are talking about. It comes in that very same period. It has everything to do with it. Because you cannot bring all these things up and not interrelate them. But you must put them as the prophet put them in order to understand it. Now then, understand this. In Eden, there was God with a blessing and a curse. Not as though himself stood as a tyrant. But it is as it's said in Deuteronomy, which ye have read to you. See? Now, let's go back then to Deuteronomy chapter 1.

And we look at verse 8. And it says here, 21.

Behold, the Lord thy God has set the land before thee. Go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers has said unto thee, Fear not, neither be you discouraged. Over here again, in Deuteronomy, the fourth chapter, and in verse 8. And what nation is there so great that has statutes and judgments so righteous as this law which I have set before you this day? What day? The day that they are going to go in and take the land. And in Deuteronomy chapter 30 and verse 15. See, I have set before thee this day life and good and death and evil. This day have I set before thee. The day of when? The day of going in to get the land where it's going to be.

And also 19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you. To make a record. That I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose light, that both thou and thy seed may live, that thou may love the Lord thy God, and thou mayest obey his voice, and cleave unto him, for he is thy life, and the length of thy days, that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord surrendered thy father to Abraham, and so on. In other words, he's laying it out here, that you cannot get into this land, you cannot escape the curse, you cannot love God, you cannot obey God, you cannot have your life. You cannot be with your seed unless you take this word because it is set before the people this hour. You cannot separate it. See, the Jews are trying to do that right now. They're saying, look, we need the land, never mind the word. They say, hold it. Without the word, forget the land. And the people that said that are right, not the other ones. See, the Zionist, he wants the land. And he figures if I get the land, that's going to do it. Now, in a little measure, that's true because they've got to be back in the land. But when you get back in the land, ask yourself the question, what got us out of the land?

Idolatry. What was idolatry? Turning from the word. Turning from what the revealed word said as constituting idolatry. And you get it all there in Deuteronomy. And then you get it through the ages, through the judges like Samuel, and then you get it time after time through the prophets. Every single time. And each time, like under Elijah, to turn them from idolatry. See? Now, the disobedient children were not cursed. That is the disobedient. I didn't say children of disobedience. I said the disobedient children were not cursed. But the children of disobedience were. They were called the Balaamites.

Children of Baal. They paid a price of suffering to refine their character and bring forth their godlikeness in fruit, as it says in Hebrews 12. The earth and the beasts and consequently all from the earth were cursed. In other words, their bodies. You can't tell me the sickness is not a curse. You can't tell me death is not a curse. But what is the curse to? It's a curse to that earth. And remember, Jesus' blood falling upon the earth actually laid the way for a resurrection of these bodies which came from the earth. And it actually laid the ground for the justification of the earth for the earth itself to come back to a restoration. See, but all that can be redeemed will be redeemed. But the rest of the life will be punished and annihilated. Now over here, look at it. Malachi chapter 4. Brother Branham brings this to our attention. For behold, the day cometh to burn as an oven. And all the proud, yea, all that do wickedly shall be stubble. And the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord host, and leaving them neither root nor branch. That is annihilation.

See? Root from the bottom up. All right. Blessing and cursing are side by side. The righteous are never cursed and never perish. Now, they can die, but they're not going to perish. See, in other words, they're saved. God's divine order the telltale difference between righteous and wicked and who will be blessed or cursed lies in the receiving or rejection of the word of correction when the corrected word has already been changed by deception now the Bible tells us the word has been changed yet you get people say bless God I can read it I got the Holy Ghost hey don't tell me about a prophet coming much Holy Ghost is he got when the Bible says the prophet is coming

How much Holy Ghost has a man got when he knows there are 2 ,200 different organizations or denominations right now, and they're all fighting about the Bible, the majority of them. Even the goof -offs that simply take this as, you know, some kind of little esoterical message. They'll tell you Jesus, like Bethlehem. Years ago, a guy who was out in spirit, he said, Bethlehem is the inner belly in here. Christ is something in your mind. You know, they go to the Bible for everything. Mary Baker Eddy, Christian Science, Unity. All of these things that go to the Bible. Let's say that there's even just 1 ,600 that talk about Christianity. You got to sit down and say, here, what is the truth? Now, one of you prove it. William Branham did it in India. They just sat there. What Methodist wrote home to his bishop? What Muslim priest, Shiite, Jain, the rest, ever contacted the Al -Atai, you know, Khomeini, the old Al -Atoy, what do you call him? You know, the old boy with the big shot. You got this Rafsanjani now taking his place. Why didn't they contact them and say, hey, you know what this guy Branham did? Do you understand the challenge? We sat there like a bunch of dumb bunnies. At least investigate this bird so we can find out how the jerk did it.

If the

militia hadn't stepped in to rip Brother Branham at the thesis, why? Because they thought it was a man. Touch him, touch him, touch him. Now William Branham is some kind of a god.

Just like they did to Paul.

See, this one's Jupiter. This one's Mercury. Old Quicksilver.

Just the same old heathenism. They cannot get it. The word has been changed by deception. It must be changed back. There is no word of either Adam or Eve rejecting correction.

They got fooled. They disbelieved. He did a stupid thing worse than she did. But there's no place where they refuse correction. Actually, they couldn't because God said this is what's going to happen and did. And today at the end of time, the bride does not deny correction. She does not turn it aside because the word has come and her womb, the mind, is closed.

Eve was deceived. Adam lowingly sinned. God gave the correction. And again, note, there is no word that either rejected. But watch the next scene. There's Cain and Abel. Abel receives correction. Cain refuses to believe and stands by his deception that he is a child of God and it wasn't sex. Because after all, the animals did it too, and you know, they don't intermingle. So he said, that's just a fluke. I'm a child of Adam. He didn't turn down. He didn't turn to the word of God. He defied God. Abel dies and waits for the resurrection where there follows the blessing. And his record is in the book of Hebrews, but you try to find the record of Cain there and see what you come up with. Now let's go back again to 2 Thessalonians.

Blessing and cursing of this hour.

We're going to apply it to understanding how we ought to understand it. Remembering this at the end time, Hebrews 6 proves there's a vindicated prophet comes on the scene. The world, like Israel, tastes the power of the word of God and the world to come and saw the word of God in action, but they turned it down, crucifying themselves to the Son of God afresh. So reading again, 2 Thessalonians 7, chapter 1. You are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed in heaven with his mighty angels.

Now, we've read it all the way through previously. Let's jump to verse 10. And you are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed. Remember these mighty angels. When he shall come to be glorified in his saints and be admired in all them that believe. Because our testimony among you was believed in that day. That's the way it reads. The other is an interpolation. And the interpolation always messes people up. Because they don't realize it's an interpolation. They think this is blanket coverage to every single person. It isn't.

It's to you that are troubled by the troublemakers. Who are the troublemakers? The deceivers. Serpency. Religion. Falsely so called. You that have trouble by

those that devise things. Like at the end time. It's all through Timothy. It's all through Peter. Brother Branham read it time after time after time. It'll excerpt. You that are troubled, troubled in your mind because you've got wrong doctrine, everything else there. You are coming to a place of relaxation at the time when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven, these mighty messengers. And that is the time when he comes. And you'll know he comes because it can't be something that's done and you not know it. That's the time he comes to be glorified in his saints.

And you will know. that you are a believer on the grounds that the testimony of Paul is believed in that day. And remember, 1 Thessalonians 4 .16 is hidden because nobody knows what is the shout, the voice, and the trumpet. That's under the seals. The only place you get a seven seal is where you're going to get it. Now you at that time will know that you have positively received the original positive message without adulteration. That's when you enter into your rest. And you can relax because that's what it's all about. Now, if you think you've got to produce the word, you're wrong. There is a portion of the word that you must produce. That is true. You mustn't lie. You mustn't steal. You mustn't gamble. You mustn't do this. You mustn't do that. That is true. There is a conduct. There is a morality goes with it. That is absolutely true. But every single thing that you can produce apart from this word will get you nowhere.

You have to put you in that rapture. The rapture is based 100 % upon faith, and there is where faith starts, as it started with Abraham, whom God confronted time

after time and also by vision. And when it came to Moses, God said, Prophets receive dreams and visions, but it is not so with my servant Moses, with whom I speak apparently, even absolutely visibly, face to face, lip to lip, ear to ear. He did the same with Paul. He did the same with William Branham. These are the things that we are looking at today. So, when you read this, you must understand that Paul is not talking to you when he talks in verse 8 concerning flames of fire in judgment and punishment.

Because the righteous do not burn. It is the chaff that is burned. Only after the wheat is gathered in the garner. Now that's what he's saying here. The wheat is going to be gathered. To you who are troubled, rest with this, relax. Relaxation comes at the time of 1 Thessalonians 4, 16. At that time is when you will be glorified. And he will be glorified in you. And that's exactly this hour that Brother Branham says, we have come to the place where Jesus said, in that day you'll know I'm in the Father. You and me and I and you. And he said, that is this hour. So here we stand absolutely in a revealed faith based upon a pure vindication. Now then, he says, look, because when I come, it is always blessing and always cursing. It is never one and the other. No way, shape, and form. You can't find blessing stand alone. You cannot find cursing standard. And I can tell you why. Because it says right in Genesis. Here is all of it. You can have it. It's yours. Use it. Ha ha. Watch that one tree. You're gone. Right? Same God stood there and said the same thing. Then you cannot cut them asunder.

So all this long talk is for one big long reason. And I hope you got it. Never ever more will this church ever look at the parallelism of Scripture. a blessing and curse and say, oh, that could be for me.

Because if you are a child of Adam, spiritually being in Christ first, humanly in Adam, because there's a divine or spiritual as well as a natural physical election.

For you to be in the physical and of God, you would have been in the beginning because you had no representation and you got into heaven now. If you weren't in that stream of life, there's no way you'll get into it. But if you were in it, then you follow the same as Jesus because Brother Branham said we categorically come the same as he and he is us except you had a theophonic form we don't have. He said I came out of God, I go back.

And when you go back, you go back to the pure form of the physical that God gave you in the first place except it's glorified.

You are not of those that are cursed. The Bible teaches this very, very thoroughly. So here we see, even in Malachi, the fourth chapter, the same law, blessing and cursing. Behold, I'm going to come, destroy the wicked, destroy the proud, leaving neither root nor branch, but unto you that fear my name. That's the very words that Moses said. Remember Horeb. Remember Deuteronomy. The name.

That fear my name, love my name. How are you going to do it? You can't do that. Shall arise with healing in his wings, and you shall go forth and grow up. These guys get annihilated. You start to grow up. Why? How do you do it? Because in the millennium, it's a further place of sanctification. You never knew what that was. You missed it. Now you're going to catch up to it. How are you going to know to say tree move here and this and that? How would you? Listen, if it was handed carte blanche to you right now. And God suddenly opened the door between the millennium and here and said, okay, kid, go on in and see how you make out. You'd drop back scared, petrified. If you didn't, you're screwed, and I think you are.

How would you dare?

You're not ready for it. You're not fit for it.

See, there's got to be some adaptation made. It's further sanctification. Now look what he says here. And you'll tread down the wicked. There'll be ashes under the soles of your feet. Other scripture says you're going to walk in their blood, dry blood. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I command unto him in horror for all Israel's statutes and judgment. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming and great and dreadful day of the Lord. Now listen, this is what is 2 Thessalonians chapter 1, 7 and 10. And he shall turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers,

lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. In other words, he says right here, look, I'm going to do it anyway, but I am not going to come and do it at that time so the earth burns. I am going to send Elijah, and at the time of the burning and the time of him coming, I'm going to get a bride out of here, and she won't be destroyed with the wicked. Now you're going to go through the book of Isaiah from now on. You can go through book after book. And in there you're going to see blessings. You're going to see cursings. You're going to read the scripture and you're going to sound as though, hey, I could miss all of this. Is there a way you can miss it when God made a promise?

That when he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself as he lifted his hand to his own heaven, his own government, to stand by his own word and said, Abraham, it is thus saith the Lord.

And he came down and he said, this time you're going to have absolutely a son by Sarah. And Sarah said, ho, ho, ho, I've heard that one before.

She didn't do it out loud. She did it in her heart. And God says, why did you laugh, Sarah? She said, I didn't laugh. He said, but you did laugh. And Brother Branagh said, except for Abraham standing there, he could have destroyed her. But you see, she was a part of Abraham. He couldn't destroy Eve. She was a part of Adam. How could he destroy a bride if we're part of him? How can God come into judgment? And Brother Branham said, you never even did a little bride. He said, there's going to come a day when the whole thing is thrown back on Satan.

Now, that's what you're looking at this world here today, this very world that's cursed. Do you think, brother, that, sister, the world is going to yield to these people today something that's going to do something for? Forget it. I say to these goofballs, I don't know, I guess they're goofballs or that or ain't kind of stuff, why they said we're going to get vitamins out of the Dead Sea and live forever. And I said, oh, brother, in the face of this scripture. What Bible are they reading? What Bible are they reading? They're not reading the Bible I read to you. The serpent seed race now has the earth conspiring against them.

They're not going to stop all those wells. If they do, it's going to be a tremendous destruction and cost just the same. They haven't stopped one yet to my knowledge. They don't know how to do it. The earthquakes that take place. These big dams they build. They're going to build the biggest dam in the world now in, where is that? India. Yeah, India. I thought they had the biggest dam already. Maybe each of you got the last one. What's going to happen when they get a bill? Earthquake going to come and knock it out. India has an earthquake ban. Clean at the top would take out all of India, millions of square miles in one fell swoop.

For a while, they could get bacteria, good bacteria. You know, there's aerobic and anaerobic. The aerobic are not bad, but the anaerobic are very, very, very bad. You can kill them with oxygen. I don't think maybe I got too much use for any bacteria, but there's good and bad. Like your stomach's got good little things in it and bad little things in it. All right. They take things out of the earth to counteract what man has brought on himself by very foolish things. You know what happens? The earth finally loses its power to purify itself.

Where are you going to turn?

What about that guy with bashing gaze?

He swears to high heaven he's touched no woman but his wife.

Never touched a man. He went around bashing gays. Do you think one day he put his little old snotty fist under a guy's tooth?

He's got AIDS.

They're trying to tell you you can kiss and not get AIDS. The real truth is you can sneeze and give them to somebody.

The earth can't purify itself any longer, brother, sister. Started with Cain.

Abel's in his blood, right? Typing, Jesus Christ the Lamb. Crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh. Trample underfoot the blood of the covenant. Once more, it's back to blood.

The earth's finished.

You can't look for hope anymore. There's no way. See? But the righteous will not be afflicted. They can be sick. They can have problems. There are no two ways about it. God will chase them. They misbehave. But he's always had his seed. When Elijah said, Lord, I'm the only guy here, he said, listen, there's 7 ,000 having bowed the knee. How many is out there? I don't know. How many thought he was a virgin? It's not mine to know. All I know is this. Blessing and cursing comes right down the line. There's a little line drawn here. On one side is righteous. One side is the other. And let me tell you, God is not going to put a curse upon his righteous. They are not going to be destroyed, for God has come to bless. And that's the secret of the message this morning, to know once and for all, you cannot find. As far as I'm concerned, there is no place I can be proven wrong by the Scripture. You might get your wires crossed being a legalist. That's your business. It's your business. But you can't stay with the word as taught by Brother Branham and find any place where he said that the righteous would perish with the wicked. And God would visit upon them those things. It's mentioned in the Bible. They will not get it because he said 1 ,000, he said, will fall at thy left hand and 10 ,000 at thy right hand. It shall not come nigh thee only with thine eye thou shalt see it. There's a promise this morning, brother, sister, that God is here and he has, listen, remember the word he said, let's see if he repents and leaves a blessing. What is he saying, Malachi? He said, I'm coming to destroy, but look, he said, I'm going to send Elijah the prophet. That's what repentance means. It means that God has got a plan to take you through.

In other words, he said, I'm not sticking with this cursing business to get them all. He said, I've got a door of escape for my people.

So that's where you see this repentance thing come in. People say, well, God's going to change his mind. God's not going to change his mind about nothing.

It just means that God begins to direct his mind and set his mind in order. You and I can pick it up and say, there it is, bless God. I see what's in this hour today. And I tell you, that's why he said, look up. Because your redemption draws near. Blessing or cursing, brother, take whichever you want. I say he's come to bless us. And I say at the same time, there's got to be somebody cursed by the grace of God. I trust it's not us. Not that I want anybody cursed. But I cannot take from God what God's word has said. Let's rise and be dismissed. Next Saturday, 7 o 'clock. Sorry to keep you so long, but I want to finish the subject. Heavenly Father, as we go today to our homes, we pray, Lord, that... The main thoughts shall never leave them. We just try to take every single scripture we can from Genesis right to Revelation to show the truth. That absolutely there is that truth. The righteous God you stand here is a righteous judge. And there is commendation. There is condemnation. There is blessing. There is cursing. And we know Lord God in heaven. We see the word brought to us by the prophet. Cleans the whole thing up. Clarifies the whole thing for us. Though Lord at this time we know our minds have been so blotted. with the false doctrine of the world the the false premises the doubts and the fears the the lack of legitimacy in the revealed word the lack of the cohesive solid direction without missing a point until this hour then the prophet came lord opening the seals and bringing forth under the thunders and bringing us into this which is absolutely perfect has come lord god We admit it. We stand to admit it. We also admit, Lord, that this humanity part had better get out of the way more and more and more. And our minds had better get more and more out of the way to see the truth because there will not be this true rest enter in until we accept this absolute truth that this is the hour of the testimony of the witness, the Apostle Paul. And we've come to the place of rest because you have come upon us with your mighty angels, not to bring destruction on us, but bring revelation, truth, and mercy, as it says in Ephesians, Lord, when that spirit comes to set the church in order. Help your people to see that, Lord, and be lifted up. Not carried away any longer by the false teaching of the insecurity brought upon people by the false doctrines of Pentecost and Methodism, which end up in the chat. But, Lord, under the eagle's screen, to bring the people right back to God. That he can bear them up on his wings and finally take a people away in a rapture. Lord, may we get our eyes on that today. Settle on it as never before. And as Brother Branham told us, he said, if you're just one in that whole town that believes. Or you're maybe even one of many. He said, you believe that you are that one. And here we are this morning, Lord, quite a number. Maybe 80 people here for all I know. And everyone has the same privilege of believing. Locking in, Lord, to the truth this morning. And standing right there knowing. Even as dear old Spurgeon said many, many years ago, it's up to us to believe God for the impossible and leave the results up to him. Lord, we open our hearts somehow by grace. If you just poured in this morning, that's what we're asking for. A little more something from you, Lord, in that way of revelation and understanding. As we open our hearts, Lord, to claim the victory and the promise and exclude any other thought, may it be, O God, from this moment, help us to raise the barrier by the Holy Ghost against us. Put down that flood of the enemy of unbelief, disbelief. wrong belief all of those things casting it all out as an unclean thing and stand not as a man who has been cleansed waiting for something to come in and something wrong could come in but stand there in faith waiting for the true revelation to take over every part of our being which we know lord is certainly believing this message unto a healing unto immortality healing in the wings lord may there not be one sick person amongst us we pray heal the sick amongst us help us all oh god be better christians more favorably inclined, Lord, to manifest your presence and your power. Known, Lord, for our godly ways and our manners and the things, Lord, which are from you and right and correct. And we'll give you the glory and the honor because we ask it in Jesus' name. Amen.
