<TITLE>10. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 Some man wrote me a letter even... I got it today, and said, "Brother Branham, do you keep the seventh day, sabbath? I heard you say that you... this morning in that breakfast that you--you eat sausage and eggs." Said, "A holy man like you eat sausage?"
"Well, brother, I love you with all my heart, but if I never do more than eat sausage, it'll never keep me out of heaven."
Notice, brother, keeping sabbath day was... It's all right if you want to do it. I--I make a principle in the pulpit, talk about nobody's religion. That's right. But for the sake of it, now I say this, that the sabbath day keeping was only a shadow of the real sabbath. God would've give them sabbath right there when they crossed the Jordan. Jordan represents death. And when you're ready to die out to yourself, God will give you sabbath. Amen.

L-38 I said, "The Sabbath is the Holy Ghost."
Said, "Nonsense. The sabbath is a day."
I said, "It was at one time limited to a certain people, but today the Sabbath is the baptism of the Holy Ghost." That's right.
He said, "Oh, it can't be."
"Why?"
He said, "God gave the day and sealed it with a memorial that it was a day keeping."
I said, "For a people, but today Ephesians 4:30 said, 'Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you're sealed till the day of your redemption.'"
Holy Ghost is a Seal of God that'll be upon the forehead or the knowledge, in the hand... The works of every person that's took into the Kingdom of God will be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Seal of God in this last days is a distinction, a mark that'll be put upon the people. Wish we had about a week's revival on that.

L-39 Notice, Isaiah said in Isaiah 28:8; he said, "Precept must be upon precept," speaking of this day, "when the tables would be full of vomit," and so forth... every man... They take the communion today. They think because you take the communion that--that you're going to go to heaven. The Bible said ever who takes it unworthy is guilty of the death and body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. That's a sacred order. I don't believe in all this what they call taking communion today.
I went to a church not long ago, and they took a piece of loaf bread or light bread and cut it up in some pieces. And people down through there that drank, and gambled, and smoke, and cuss, and lie, a taking that, and think you'll go to heaven. Brother, you're damning your own soul by doing such a thing. No wonder the tables of the Lord is full of vomit. Sure.

L-40 He said, "But precept must be upon precept, and line upon line. Here a little and there a little, and hold fast to that what's good. For with stammering lips and with other tongues will I speak to this people, and this is the sabbath." Amen.
Hebrews 4 said, "There remaineth a sabbath keeping to the people of God, for we which have entered into His rest has ceased from our works as God did from His."
God worked six days, and the sabbath day He went to rest, and never returned no more. And a man may labor in world here till he's twenty years old, thirty, forty, seventy, but when he ceases from his worldly works, he goes into an eternal rest with God, like God did at the beginning.
