<TITLE>14. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 In the day that when Jesus Christ was crucified, sent back. He said, "Did you... Blaspheme Me, you'll be forgiven. But when you blaspheme the Holy Ghost, it'll never be forgiven." For the people wasn't sealed; the work of God wasn't finished yet; the sacrifice wasn't made; Jesus hadn't been crucified; the Holy Ghost hadn't come. But on the day of Pentecost when there came a sound from heaven like a rushing mighty wind, and those Jews that had been crying and sighing for the abomination did in the city... They were in a upper room all in one accord, not saying, "My church is better than yours. And I--I belong to this over here, and our church has the best steeple." They were all in one place cooperating in the revival, and all in one accord. For they had the promise of something.
God got His people together. And there came a sound from heaven like a rushing mighty wind, filled all the house where they were setting. Out into the streets they went, not speaking an unknown language now; God made a preacher out of every one of them. When they went out they preached in a language that every man heard everything he said. That's right. And when they went out there preaching in every dialect, God had to do it. That was the only day He could do it. You shall... "The Gospel will be, begin going forth from Jerusalem. Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem till you're endued with power from on high." And it went forth from Jerusalem to the Jews, then to the Samaritans, and then to the Gentiles. It was the only way God could do it. Not a bunch of confusion, no, it was very different from Babylon. Babylon they couldn't understand one another. But here He straightened up Babylon, so they could understand one another. I think today is time when God ought to straighten, when men ought to let God straighten up their hearts, where they can understand one another. Amen. Amen. God, be merciful.

L-44 Oh, friends, I love you; but look, we've got to get back to the Word. That's right. You say, "Brother Branham, you don't believe in speak...?" Sure, I believe in speaking with tongues. But you got to put it in its place. I believe in Divine healing, certainly, you got to put it in its place. I believe in shouting, certainly, put it in its place. It all goes in its place. That's right. But we get it out of place. Amen. That's awful strong. But just search and see one time, and see if that isn't right.

L-45 Notice, when the Holy Spirit come, God sealed them people into the Kingdom of God. And those Jews stood up there and laughed at them, made fun of them, said, "These men are drunk on new wine." They come out of there with light-hearted, all the fear left them, their hearts on fire, burning with the love of God, going out and preaching, even they couldn't speak their language, and God was speaking through them to the people, telling them about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. God Himself speaking the... Yet they spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. The Holy Spirit was uttering the language of the people that was listening to them, was preaching the Gospel to them.

L-46 At the day of Pentecost where tongues was confused with Babylon, He brought them back into one fellowship at Pentecost. Amen. What the devil did at Babylon scattered brotherhood, God brought brotherhood together at Pentecost, the Holy Spirit Hisself speaking through the people, to the people. And again they say...?... Said, "Well, what do you know about that, we hear them in our own language, what do you know about that?"
And some of them say, "Ha-ha-ha we heard that in Pershing Square today, still Babylon." Said, "We... Why, they're all drunk on new wine." Brother watch out what you've done there. God gave them a call, and they refused it and rejected it.
