<TITLE>14. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 Look at the great Saint Paul. He looked through the eyes of God. By the Holy Spirit (Here it is.) he seen these two vines coming up into the end. "And it shall come to pass in the last days, perilous times shall come. Men shall be lovers of theirselves, proud, boasters, blasphemers, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, trucebreakers, incontinent, fierce, and despisers of those that are good (holy-rollers), despisers of those that are good."
"Oh," you say, "Brother Branham, that sure was communist." No, sir. That was fundamentalists; that was believers. "How do you know, Brother Branham?" The next verse. "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away."
You believe Paul had the Spirit of God on him? Paul said, "If an angel from heaven (in Galatians 1:8) would come and teach anything else, let him be accursed." But the Angel of God and the power of God will always recognize the Bible is right. Amen.

L-51 Here we are living in the last days. Fundamentalism's sure going to seed. They know all the ins and outs and all the Bible, just as good as Satan did when he quoted it to Jesus. They did. They know it today. And they make fun of the signs and wonders, saying the days of miracles is past, trying to sign orders in cities and so forth to stop Divine healing and the power of God.
Why, brother, could you imagine trying to put out a fire on a windy day and the wind high? My, oh, my. They tried to burn it out of a man one time; they tried to feed it to lions; and the lions wouldn't eat it. They tried to--tried to feed the Holy Ghost to a lion. Did you imagine that? They put it in a vat of oil and tried to burn it up. And throwed it in the fiery furnace, and it's still burning today, and will till Jesus comes. Hallelujah. Right.

L-52 Oh, to see the day... Joel said, "What the palmerworm left, the caterpillar eaten. What the caterpillar left, the locust eaten." Oh, God's heritage is eaten down, eaten down. What the Lutheran's left, the Baptist's eaten. What the Baptist's left, the Methodist's eaten. What the Methodist's left, the cater--the other caterpillar eaten: Nazarenes, Pilgrim Holiness, and even the Pentecost. What a dark picture.
But God said, "I will restore, saith the Lord."
I come back from Africa. Brother Baxter and I, we were so tired. We went way in northern British Columbia for a little while. And after a meeting up there, to hunt a little while. We was back in the wilderness.

L-53 I'd been back there about fifteen, sixteen days. One day I was chasing an old grizzly bear on my horse, and I got lost. On the road back that night, I thought, "Lord, what'd You let me get lost for?"
God always does everything perfect. And I wondered, "Why did I get lost?" I couldn't understand it. Well, it got dark on me, and I was following a little old deer trail. I thought if I'd get to a high place, there's some clouds going over, and the moon would come out once in a while. I thought if I got to a high place, then I could see. But all looked about the same when I'd get to a high place.
