<TITLE>29. Par 116-118</TITLE>L-116 Now, look. Last comment. Now, we're in Revelations, going out. Let's listen to what Paul said. "Know this that in the last days (that's the end, isn't it?), perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves."
"I'm from the so-and-so."
"Lovers of their own... proud, boasters, incontinent, fierce, and despisers of those that are trying to do good." See?
"Well, I'll tell you now, Brother Branham. That's meant communists." Oh, no. That meant fundamentalist: "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. From such turn away for this is the sort that go from house to house and leads silly women," along with all kind of societies and sew and stitch and sew and talk about Miss So-and-So. And boil up some old rooster and sell it and pay the preacher. Oh, goodness. Pay your tithes and you won't have to do that, and they...?... In all these other things like this... "Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. From such turn away." God, be merciful to us.

L-117 Christians, I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm trying to stimulate your faith. Don't pay any attention to what anybody tells you if it's contrary to THUS SAITH THE LORD. Look. God always from Genesis... He put the seed down there. Look here today. Look at the people go to church. Now, put on your thinking cap. I'm closing. Put on a thinking cap.
Look down through the Bible at these two stalks now. Here they come up, both of them: Cain and Abel. Both of them was worshippers. Both of them was believers. God vindicated this one, rejected this one. No matter how fundamental he was, he rejected him, because he didn't have signs. Come on up through the Israelite age. Got both of them fundamental, both of them standing there, one just as Scriptural as the other one. God a vindicated this one with signs and wonders, rejected that one just as fundamental as this one here, but rejected him because signs and wonders. You see election and calling always of God. Come right on up...

L-118 Look at Jesus' day. Here they come up: Jesus fundamental too. So was the Orthodox priest, but He rejected them, accepted Jesus, vindicated Him with signs and wonders said the Bible. That's how we knowed He was a Man of God. The phenomenal was following Him: signs and wonders.
Now, the great Saint Paul. Do you believe he's authority? Say, "Amen." Great Saint Paul said, "Now, wait a minute. I'm writing this in the Bible. 'In the last day they're going to be just as fundamental, having a form of godliness, but they're going to deny the power of the fund--this great power of--of over here. That's going to have a form of godliness. They're going to be just as correct in the Scripture as the rest of you. They're going to believe in God, the second coming of Christ. They're going to believe in all that. They're going to have fine churches. They're going to have the same thing they had around here, going have the same thing they had here, going to have the same thing here, going to have the same thing there. But the same church was here, was here and here. And there she goes right in the seed at the end.'"
Step off that vine today, brother. Get over here. Come on in while it's called day. God has made a way for you. God has blessed you.
