<TITLE>01. Par 1-6</TITLE>55-0109E, Beginning And Ending Of The Gentile Dispensation, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 56 min
L-1 Good evening, friends. I'm very grateful to be here tonight again. Just left here awhile ago. I think I got out around four o'clock and then I had to... We went down see some more friends and got back five minutes after seven, and just had to come back down. So I'm kind of having to hunt a text yet, Brother Neville. But...

L-2 Now, there is a request that just was called in from someone in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a loved one that was in a wreck three weeks ago and is lying unconscious still, and requests prayer here from the church. And... [Brother Neville says, "Brother Bill."--Ed.] Yes, brother. [Can I make an announcement?] You sure can, Brother Neville...?... [Brother Neville speaks.]

L-3 We were--we were speaking of Melchisedec, who He was. And we, nothing like got through with it. But maybe the next time coming in we can pick up from there, still in the Book of Hebrews. But tonight we turn over to the Book of Daniel. And you with your Bibles turn to Daniel 12. And we're going to read a little from there and talk maybe on some of God's Word out of the Book of Daniel.

L-4 Now Daniel was one of the--was the prophet that was carried from Jerusalem down into Babylon in the carrying away of Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. He was a young fellow when he went down into Babylon. There was a... Not many of them that had, still holding out the grand old faith. I like Daniel because his--he had purposed that in his heart when he went down into Babylon that he was going to remain a believer, and he wasn't going to defile hisself with the king's meats and so forth.
Now, the very thing that Daniel was the prophet to the Gentiles. Daniel saw all the Gentile age rise and fall. He was the first one to be... He's called the Gentile prophet. He wasn't a Gentile himself, but he saw the Gentile dispensation from start to finish in the head of gold and ending up in the feet of iron and clay. And while down in there purposing in his heart that he wouldn't defile himself with the king's meats and with the king's affair...

L-5 And another group of brothers named Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went down there with them, which was not prophets, but believers. And they also purposed in their heart. And then when those four believers come together, I'd imagine quite oftenly, they had prayer meetings together just like we do. We get together because we have things in common.
You know there's an old slogan that says, "Birds of a feather flock together." And that's a--an old proverb, rather, and that's a pretty good thing too. "Birds of a feather flock together." Aren't you happy for that? Sure."Birds of a feather flock together."

L-6 Not long ago I was setting in a meeting where there was a man discussing something and he said, "Well..." He was talking about the souls that went to prison, was in prison, that Jesus went and preached to after His death. And this man that was speaking said, "Well, what do you think about it?"
And a colored brother raised up, he said, "Well, that's just what the Bible said. He went and preached to souls that were in prison."
Said, "What do you think it was?"
Said, "It was souls that didn't repent in the long suffering in the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared just like the Bible said."
He said, "No." Said, "That's this church preaching to those Pentecostal people that's in these denominations and everything, bringing them out of prison."
He said, "Now, looky here, brother." He said, "Pentecost wasn't even mentioned there. He said that He just said that He went and preached to the souls that were in prison."
So I said, "Amen, that's right."
And the minister looked around at me and said, "Birds of a feather flock together."
I said, "That's right, brothers of like precious faith believing just what the Scripture says is the truth."
