<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 Then to see coming in here the King in His Glory, come walking in His white robe, coming down along the line, putting His arm around each one, hugging us a little bit up close to Him, wiping the tears away from our eyes with His nail scarred hands, say, "Don't cry. It's all over. We're all here now. Enter into the joys of the Lord, which has been prepared for you since the foundation of the world." That's the day we're looking for. That's what we're striving for.
I heard a radio broadcast recently, where the majority of the great scientists of the world, give the world ten years before total annihilation. Ten more years, now, that's just guesswork.
But where the hydrogen or oxygen, if they ever start in a battle with that, one bursting here, and there, and here, I don't know what will take place. Just probably sweep the whole world over and that--that will be it. It won't be even mountain, tree, green thing, or anything left on the earth. Just exactly what the Bible said.

L-6 But we'll be gone at that time. Yes, sir. There's a part of us that's immortal. No atom, no hydrogen or nothing is needed for that. It's spirit. We'll be caught up in a moment, in a twinkling of the eye, to meet the Lord in the air.
There's three comings of the Lord, you know that. There's three of everything in the Scripture. Three is God's perfect number: Threes, sevens, twelves, twenty-fours, forties, fifties. But three times He came: once to redeem His Bride. He comes the next time, we meet Him in the air, to receive His Bride. He comes the next time in the millennium with His Bride. That's after the wedding supper is over. We return back for the millennium.
I want to see Him, don't you?
Here some time ago, I was--heard an old man speaking, and he was talking about an old slave. I don't know whether I've told you about it or not. Said he got salvation, the Lord saved Him and they freed him. And when he was dying, he said he'd entered into the gates, but said he was standing just behind the door. And someone come over and said, "Sam, come and receive your crown now and your reward."
He said, "Crown? Reward?" Said, "Don't talk those things to me. Just let me stand and look at Him for a thousand years. That's all I want to do."

L-7 That's the way we feel. Don't you think that's about the feeling of all Christians? I don't want no crown. I don't want no reward. I just want to see Him. I just want to look at Him. Just to stand and look at Him, that'll be enough for me.
If He condemns me at the end of the road and says I must turn the other way, if there is such a thing as love being in hell, I'll still love Him. And He's still righteous. I was nothing when I come here. I'm nothing when I leave. If I ever be accepted in there, it'll be His grace alone that did it.
And that's why tonight that I am striving with all my heart. With love for everybody, everywhere. You might disagree with me Scripturally. I don't have too much doctrine besides Scripture. I just love the Lord. That's all. See, that's all.
And so, you might say, "Well, Brother Branham, I--I believe this." Well, maybe I wouldn't exactly see it. But that wouldn't keep me from having--thinking just the same of you. See? We just love one another just the same.
