<TITLE>10. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 And any man knows that the Angel of the Covenant was Jesus Christ (That's right.), the same yesterday, today, and forever. God unfolded Himself. That was God in that Pillar of Fire. He unfolded Hisself down into a human body, virgin born. No man could touch Him there. You could see Him here, but He's a virgin born.
Now, He went away. "A little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet I'll be with you, even in you." Same God living right down, unfolding Himself into the heart of man, got down here where He could shake them and give them a--a rejoicing like Job did.
They said, "Brother Branham, that's that new kind of religion." Huh-uh. It's just a new case of the old-time. Old-time? Why, God asked Job, "Where was you when I laid the foundation of the world, when the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy?" Before the foundation of the world was ever laid. This ain't something new. It's something old. It's the beginning.

L-39 Watch these fundamental now. Just a minute now, we'll close if you look this way for a minute. Our time's getting away. I feel pretty good right at this time. I'm glad. I'm glad, so happy that I seen these trees. And I seen the One that God was a vindicating. I don't care how fundamental this was. I seen here where God was making His signs and wonders of a vindication.
When Jesus come on earth, who was any more fundamental than those priests was? Brother, they knowed the law to the letter and they knowed the Scripture to the letter. But God a vindicated Jesus Christ by signs and wonders. "Ye men of Israel, Jesus Christ the man approved among you by signs and wonders, which God did by Him in the midst of you all, where you all know yourselves." Acts 2:24. That's right.
God a vindicated Jesus Christ by signs and wonders. He a vindicated Israel by supernatural signs and wonders. He a vindicated His Church all the way through by signs and wonders. Watch here now in this last day. Watch Saint Paul. Listen. Look this way, every eye.

L-40 Look at Saint Paul when the Holy Ghost struck him there one day and he was writing. He said, "Know this, that in the last days, the end of time, the times would come when they'd be heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, and despisers of those that are good."
Why, you say, "Brother Branham, that's atheists." Oh, no. That's fundamentalists. "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof, from such turn away." We're living in that day, friend. We're living when just as fundamental as churches is fundamentally right. They've had seminaries and studied, and studied, and Greek words, and this words, and that words. And what good does it do 'less God's to back it up and say, "This is it." What good did it do Cain to do all of his religion and--and Balak all of his religion, when God was down here in this bunch of vindicated, with a bunch of holy-rollers?

L-41 And if Jesus was considered a holy-roller Himself... He died on the cross as a heretic. And the early Church was considered a bunch of nitwits. Paul told Agrippa, "In the way that's called heresy, so worship I the God of our fathers." I'm glad tonight to join with and say, "In the way that's called holy-rollers, crazy, nonsense, idiotic worship, I'll worship Jesus Christ in the power of His resurrection by the Holy Ghost." Amen.
I believe Him. And I know that He's here. And Christian friends, I'm not here to preach the Gospel. Brother Bosworth is here to do that. I'm here to pray for the sick. My calling is to pray for the sick. And I'm trying my best to get to you. I want you to know what I believe. And I believe the message. And in that you might call it heresy.
