<TITLE>07. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 If that ain't a picture of it today, I don't know why. Them fundamentalists, don't tie into one; he knows what he's talking about in the Word. I was raised a Baptist. Don't tie into him in the Word; He knows what he's talking about. But here's the difference, friends. Listen. Set quiet now. Let your cup...?... up.
Notice. But what was the difference with here? Both of them fundamental, both of them just like Cain and Abel. That's that same vine coming up. But God was a vindicating Israel with signs and wonders. Thy were a bunch of holy-rollers. You say, "Brother Branham, holy-rollers, Israel?" Yes, sir.
Brother, when they passed through the Red Sea, Moses sung in the Spirit, and Miriam got a tambourine, begin to dance with the daughters. If that ain't a Holy Ghost meeting, I never seen one. Sure, they was a bunch of holy-rollers, but God was a vindicating them by the supernatural signs and wonders. They had a Pillar of Fire, smitten rock, brazen serpent. Hallelujah. That's exactly the truth, my brother. That's why you can stand boldly when you know where you're standing. Right.

L-25 Watch what He was. They had a Pillar of Fire hanging over them. Is that right? Sure, they were fundamental in their doctrine, so were they. But God was a vindicating them. And it's the same thing today. You might go to seminaries and learn this Bible every way you want to, but until you're borned of the Holy Ghost, the power of God gets into your life, brother, you'll never believe signs and wonders, and can't believe for Divine healing and power: can't do it.
What we need today is a good old fashion, sky-blue, sin killing religion sweeping this country and an old-time Saint Paul's revival, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost back in the church again. Amen. The best defense, better than any atom bomb was ever created. That's right. Fundamental, but God was a vindicating His Church.

L-26 And today, teachers can say, "I can prove to you by the Bible." That's true, but where's the signs at? That's the reason I stepped off the fundamental tree, over and become a holy roller. I seen the thing coming. I'm glad I'm over here. Right. Living amongst...
Oh, they had everything. Sure, they lived with one another's mothers. They done every ornery thing there was. And I want you to notice, that fundamental teacher up there was very nice to point that out to Balak too. Said, "Bring them over here now, I will show you the utmost parts." That's the way they do today to the Holy Ghost Church, show the utmost parts, the rotten part. We admit we got it, but you got it too, but you can cover it up better. That's all. That's right. Don't tell me; I know Baptist preachers and Methodist, and all. They do just the same as them holy-roller preachers do. That's exactly. It's all of human flesh. Well, let me tell you. But down there they could cover it up real well.

L-27 But now, watch. Balak was good to show the just the utmost parts. But I want you to notice what God told that old hypocrite when he come back. He said, "Don't you say nothing but what I put in your mouth." He said, "I beheld him from the hilltop." Hallelujah. "Not from the utmost parts, but from the hilltop. And I have not conceived the iniquity in Jacob." Hallelujah. Amen.
Why? There was a brazen serpent going before them. There was a Pillar of Fire. There was an atonement to take away that sin that was on Israel. It was the election. God was going to take them through, yes or no. God's give the covenant unconditional. "I'll save Abraham and his seed." And you're the seed of Abraham by being dead in Christ, take on Abraham's seed and are heirs according to the promise. Amen. There I feel religious.
