<TITLE>10. Par 48-51</TITLE>L-48 All right, God telling him, "Don't you get down there, stay back." Oh, my, he had the big things on his mind. The king was telling him so-and-so, how he was going to bless him. So he wasn't pay any attention to what the spiritual side; he was watching the material side. And when he come down a little...
Here's Israel down here in a camp. Here's Moab up here on a mountain. And I want you...
Here's a shock to you fundamentalists now. Get ready. Now, I believe you're right, fundamentally speaking. But notice, here come Moab out and Balak and Balaam, and he said, "Now, look down there at that bunch of holy-rollers. I want you to curse them."
Well, Balak said, "I can only say what the Lord tells me."
So Balak showed Balaam the utmost parts of Israel. I just wonder: people, we fundamentalist's this afternoon, if our teachers hasn't showed us the utmost parts of the holy-rollers. Say, "This, that, and the other. This one run away with that one's wife and this done that." I wonder if that same thing is in our ranks? It is. But we can cover it up where they can't.

L-49 Now, this may make you a little bit sick, but if it don't make you sick it won't do you no good.
Mama setting there... When I was a little boy, we lived out on a farm. And I used to... Every Saturday night, we didn't have very much to eat, she'd put meat skins in an old pan and boil it to get the--render the grease out of it to make our corn cakes. And we didn't live so very good.
So every Saturday night, a bath in an old cedar tub, and every one of us would have to take a dose of castor oil for colds and things through the winter.
I took so much castor oil till I tell you, I'd gag to even smell it. And I'd come to mama holding my nose, and I said, "Mama, it's just makes me so sick I can't stand it."
She said, "If it don't make you sick, it won't do you any good."
So maybe that's what this is this afternoon. If it don't stir you up, exercise your spiritual digestive organs... (Hallelujah.) Here you'll get studying, wondering.

L-50 Now, here was Moab, a believer, fundamental. (Brother, that's... Let me let that soak just a little bit.) He was fundamental, just as fundamental as Israel was.
Now, watch. This prophet went out there, their teacher, and he said, "Now, I know that what the requirements of Jehovah is." And he built seven altars. Correctly, what Israel was ordained to do. He put seven clean sacrifices, bullocks, on the seven altars to Jehovah. And he also, besides that, offered seven lambs which speaks of the coming of Jesus Christ.
Talk about fundamental, he was just as fundamental. And that's the same offering and everything that they were offering right down there. Is that right? The same offerings that they were offering here, was offered down there the same way.
But they said, "Look at them; they're not a people." This is a great organization Moab had. "We are or--we are the land of Moab. But they are just travelers, a bunch of holy-rollers, scattered about." Amen.
Oh, brother, you'll see in a minute why I'm a holy-roller.

L-51 Looky here, there's that vine coming up out of--out of Eden.
You said, "Israel, Brother Branham, you mean to tell me that Israel was holy-rollers?"
"Yes sir."
Brother, when they crossed the Red Sea and got the victory, Miriam the prophetess grabbed the tambourine and begin screaming and jumping and dancing, and down the river she went. If that ain't a holy-roller, I never seen one. Is that true?
And Moses got so full of the Spirit till he throwed up his hands and sang in the Spirit. Hallelujah.
We're not lost. That's that vine coming on up. Yes, sir. And here's his persecutors right here on the other side, as Jesus said, "So close they would deceive the very elect if possible."
