<TITLE>16. Par 46-47</TITLE>L-46 Now, we see this prophet. And he goes back; he looks the utmost parts. And when he come back... Now remember, if this man here... If fundamentalism... Both of them is offering the same sacrifice, both praying to the same God, one of them is a great organized nation, all set in colors with dignity people, dignitaries and everything, standing around: all their bishops, as it was, and so forth standing around to go out to size them up like that. "O great Jehovah, now help our preacher to put a curse when they stop, and stop all that bunch of people coming through here." And truly, that bunch of Israelites have done every dirty thing there was on the counter to do. That's right. But where'd that preacher fail to see... He thought surely a holy, moral God would curse that people had done all those bad things; but he failed to see that brass serpent, and that Smitten Rock going before them. He failed to see the signs. He only looked at the moral side.
Notice, and he went out there and he took his parable and went to meet God. And when instead of cursing Israel, he blessed Israel. And he come back and he wondered, "What I've done? Instead of cursing that people, I've blessed that people." Now, watch. The preacher was showing the dirty parts, the back parts, the backwash of it, the worst that could be. But when God spoke through him, he said, "I've not beheld him by the utmost parts; I beheld him from the hilltop. And I've not conceived iniquity in Jacob." Hallelujah. I'll be one of them in a few minutes. Yes, sir.
"I have not seen any iniquity in Jacob." How He couldn't see it? The blood was cleansing it. "I've not conceived iniquity in Jacob." Yes, sir.

L-47 O brother, please, as dying men and women here this morning, open your eyes. Don't wait to meet judgment yonder before you find these things out. It's too late then. Now is the time of salvation. Now is the day.
I know I'm awfully loud on that thing. I don't mean to yell at you, but oh how I feel when I see the Word of God sticking right out here on every post everywhere, pointing to the ways of salvation, and know that people who love me and would give their arm to help me out; and yet I've got to answer for them at the day of judgment if I fail to warn and say what 's the truth. How I would like to come in here this morning with some little pious talking and speak to you. And then at the day of judgment, you'd say, "Brother Branham, what about that Sunday morning? If you'd have told us the truth, it might've shook us a little. But maybe it'd been different today." God forbid. I want to stand like Paul, "The blood of no man's upon my hand." I speak the truth, and God testifying that it is the truth. There's a great hour at hand.
