<TITLE>22. Par 80-83</TITLE>L-80 The Bible said, the prophet said, "It'll be light in the evening time." There was a day that wasn't night or dark. Make up your mind now.
Where did the sun shine first? On the Oriental people in the East. Mathematically, geographically it travels westward. Civilization moved form the east to the west. And when it shined down on the people in the east first, what happened? A great Holy Ghost revival amongst the easterners. Then it come a day where theology, churches, denominations blinded it out. The Bible said, "It's a day that it's not dark; it's a gloomy."
They've had enough Light to believe that Jesus was the Son of God. They never had miracles and signs. They believed it was the day past. But the prophet said, "It'll be Light in the evening."
The western people now is receiving their Light. Don't turn It down. The Light's a shining. The same Holy Spirit that fell on the day of Pentecost is right here doing the same things.

L-81 Oh, we got a lot of fanaticism. I'll admit that, friend. But we have to have that. Remember, scarecrows is around the best apple tree. So now just remember, Jesus Christ is still the Son of God, and those things has to happen. The Gospel cannot be preached without observation; we know that. The Bible said so. So don't look at that; look at Jesus. It's Light; the evening time's here now.
Is there another anywhere before we pray, that's made up their mind... God bless you, sister dear. That's very fine of you. God bless you, sister, over here. That's good of you. God sees your hand. Now, shall we pray. God bless you, brother. That's good. God be merciful to you. God bless you, little lady, over there, that raised your hand. Be merciful to you is my prayer.
Now, shall we pray. And every Christian, in your own way now, pray for these who's just come to Christ.

L-82 Dear God, as I know now I'm standing here between the living and dead. I've had to talk real hard this afternoon, because I felt You put it upon my heart, even after I got here. You said, "Shake the people."
And I just taught Your Word, and now some thirty or forty hands has went up. I hope I'm not misjudging them, Lord. I believe they were every one sincere. And they raised up their hands because that Something spoke to their heart. And now, I'm quoting to You, Your Word, Lord Jesus, Who will meet them down there at the river one of these days when death is choking them in the throat. The doctor's walked away from the house, said, "Well, he will never come out of that attack." The baby's laying in there, choking out with pneumonia, the little children, or whatever it might be. The mothers and dads that's lived a long life and the death angel sets at the foot of the bed, and the old cold vapors of the Jordan floating in their face, but He will be there. You said, "He shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death unto Life."
May the Morning Star come out and light up the way for them. And when the clods are thrown down on top of the casket, may the old Pine trees whisper, "There's a land beyond the river."

L-83 They'll remember when that hour strikes, that today, because You spoke to their hearts, they raised their hand. Way over in the other land, and I may never get to shake their hand here, but God grant that in a new world, where there's no death or sorrow, no sadness or sickness, may I shake every one of their hands there and they say, "Brother Branham, it was that evening, I heard you preach so hard about men must receive Christ, and what's in your hand. And I raised my hand to Christ and He received me. And here I am today by the blessings and grace of Christ."
Will You do that for us, Father? We ask in the Name of Thy beloved Son, the Lord Jesus. Amen.

 Only believe...
 All things are possible, only believe.
