<TITLE>07. Par 16-20</TITLE>L-16 Notice, how from the beginning Satan has been so close. Now, a lot of people say today, "Oh, Brother Branham, don't you think that communism is awful?" Yes, it's awful. But that's not the antichrist. No, sir. Jesus said the antichrist would be so close like the real, it would deceive the very elect if possible. It's religious people. That's where it comes in.
Now, I want... Let's go back to the beginning, way back. Go back in the garden of Eden, even we could go before that. But let's take the first two boys that was borned on this earth.
Cain, first, really, he was supposed to have the birthright, but lost it just as Esau was, just as the first church of the mother church, as you want to call it. All the way through, lost the birthright...

L-17 Now, Cain and Abel, when they were put out of the garden of Eden because that death had come to their--their parents and them, both of these boys was very religious boys.
Now, if you want to find out what day we're living in, if you want to find out what kind of a crop's going to come up out here, go back and find out what kind of seed you got planted. And now, Genesis is the seed or the beginning. And how that back there in the beginning, we see the spirits move up.

L-18 For instance, all down through the Scripture, we think of Babylon. When Babylon first appeared, look at it down through the Bible. Babylon appeared back there. You know, Nimrod built Babylon. First Babylon was called the "gates of heaven." Then it was called "confusion." And there's where idolatry first started.
Nimrod was a son of Ham, which come on back from a son of Cain. Watch them seeds as they come up. Watch what they bear. Watch how... actions they take, and now, we're plumb in above the skies with it. There's... The crop has growed up. Oh, I hope God soaks that way down deep now, so we can get a foundation. And I see something moving up now.
Way down here in the seed, watch what it's going to go to up here. Find out where your seed's at. Now... and what it is...

L-19 Now, Cain and Abel was both very religious men, and one of them was the type of Christ, and the other was the antichrist. Cain was just as religious as Abel was. Amen. Notice him.
Then many times you notice, looky here, as Cain killed Abel at the altar, so did Judas kill Jesus at the altar, which Cain and Abel were a type of Judas and Jesus. All down through there's a pro and con.
Look in the ark. There was a dove and there was a crow, both of them setting on the same ark, same roost. And one of them was willing to go up... Both of them could fly. Both of them were fowls. And one, if you notice, it was a diet.

L-20 When they turned the crow loose, he could fly from dead carcass to dead carcass and eat and be satisfied. But the dove could find no rest for the soles of her feet. She... A dove hasn't got any gall, so it couldn't digest such.
How beautiful type of the Church... A man said, "Well, I'm a Christian, but I can do anything I want to." Brother, it shows something another... Man is known by his works; your fruits bear record of what you are.
And this old crow could go from body to body, and eat dead carcass, and feel satisfied, but the dove found no rest for the soles of her feet. She returned back home again.
