<TITLE>26. Par -</TITLE>L-49-235 And then Doctor Reedhead said he was standing there, and he said, "Now, why don't you forsake that old dead prophet and receive One Who's rose from the dead, a living Christ?" Now, he was a scholar and he knowed how to place his words.
Said the Mohammedan looked at him (smart, educated man, right here in America, had been educated here), he said, "Sir, kind sir, what can your resurrected Jesus do for me any more than my dead prophet has done?" Said, "My dead prophet promised me life after death. That's what your Jesus did." Well, he had something. Said, "Now, both of them wrote a book. You believe the one that Jesus wrote; I believe the one Mohammed wrote. They both promise life." Said, "What can your Jesus do any more for me than my--my Mohammed can?" Well, the man, in simple facts, is the truth. He said, "But just a moment, kind sir." He said, "My Mohammed never promised me things like your Jesus did. Your Jesus promised... They said, he rose up, and was going to be with you all the time to the end of the world; and the same signs and wonders that He did, you would do also, plumb to the end of the world. You'd heal the sick, and raise the dead, and cleanse the lepers, and cast out devils." Said, "I studied Christianity thoroughly." Said, "Now, let me see you teachers produce Jesus Christ, and I'll believe He rose from the dead. But outside of that... Mohammed never promised us such things as that; he just promised us life after death. And that's the very same thing that you teach, and bypass the other." The man was right, the Mohammedan was exactly right.

L-50-237 Doctor Reedhead said he stood and cried. Said, "Brother Branham, I thought of you." And he rushed over here, and went in there, and I laid my hands on him, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost come upon him. And now he even sees visions and everything. Now, let the Mohammedan meet him. He's a different man.
I say our Jesus rose from the dead; He's living today. And He does the same things today He did then, all kinds of signs and wonders. And you fundamental people are setting around trying to explain that away, and missing the very fundamental part of the Bible. That's exactly right. Jesus Christ, the resurrected Son of God, can speak with other tongues through you; He can prophesy through you; He can show visions through you; He can interpret unknown languages through you. And all of that is part of Him.
And to take this part of Him and leave that part off of Him, would be like cutting me half in two and taking my hips and my legs down and say you've got me, when this part you won't receive.
You either have to receive me fully. And that's the reason I'm a full-Gospel preacher that believes that everything God said is the truth. Amen. Glory. I feel like a holy-roller right now. Yes, sir. I believe it.

L-51-Q-7 7. Matthew 24:29, speaks of the sun being darkened, the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven. Will this happen before or after the rapture, or just before Jesus comes to r-i--reign on earth?
To my humble belief, now, I wouldn't... I don't know; I think he's speaking of Matthew 24, there. Now, Jesus speaking of the stars and things falling, I believe that is just before the tribulation period sets on earth.
Now, I had a real funny thought here that many of you are going to disagree with me on this; I imagine some of the old-timers heard teaching that we went through it. See, I don't believe the church will go through the tribulation period. I believe the church will... Look, I... The only way I teach the New Testament is by the Old Testament shadow, just like the Holy Ghost here for the sabbath day and so forth. Everything is a shadow back there.
