<TITLE>13. Par 45-48</TITLE>L-45 If you went to the restaurant and took a bowl of soup and it had a fly in it, you'd kick it away. And--and what a fuss you'd raise with the man, "I'll never eat in this place again, if that's the way you cook your food."
You'll watch that little body of yours that nothing bad goes into it, but poke any kind of poison there is in your soul. That's right.
Let it come from the Word of God; don't take any petty, soft glove thing. We need to take off our shirts and preach the Gospel (That's right.), the power of God unto salvation. And stand on God's Word and His promises.
We see the Bible said that these things would happen. He said in the last days there would be scoffers making fun, and pointing their fingers, and saying there's no such things and the days of miracles is past. But He said He'd have a church that signs and wonders would be following after it. We got it.

L-46 Now, it's been in all ages. When God first made creation in the phenomenal way, when He spoke the world into existence and [Brother Branham makes a blowing sound--Ed.] blowed the stars and moon off His hands, as they say... Expressed the Word, and it come into existence. The very earth that you're sitting on today was the created Word of God. If He didn't speak the world into existence, where did He get the material to make it out of? Where did it come from? Sure He did. He spoke it into existence. It's the Word of God. The very dirt and things that you're setting on today, is the creative Word of God. You're here because you come into creation by the speaking of the Word of God, everyone one of you.
And notice. If you get old, die away, go back to the dust of the earth, the mother... The earth is the mother of every natural thing the eye can see. Certainly.

L-47 Now, I want you to notice a minute. When God made Adam and Eve and made the creation and everything, it was beautiful. God... Why, Adam had control of the powers of God. He could speak anything; it would obey him just exactly like it would God. He'd had a perfect fellowship with God, walked with Him, and talked with Him, and communed with Him. He had a fellowship.
Then--then when Adam and Eve... When Eve sinned and they went out of the garden of Eden, they come on down and on down. And the world begin unfolding. And as it unfolded more and more, the first thing you know cities begin to build. That's one great sign of the end time.
Our little city of Jeffersonville has raised from about fourteen thousand, just a little old river city, from fourteen thousand to around thirty something thousand in the last few years. They're tearing out all the farms and everything else and making housing projects. What's the matter? It's a sign of the end time. That's right.

L-48 In that day we find out that they begin to work with copper. They begin to work with metal. Look at today, even making ships and planes and everything else, metal workers. Great intelligence, a great time of school, great educational program just before the end of the world...
And Jesus Christ, when He was here on earth, said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man."
Look at the world... I was talking to Mrs. Wood and Mr. Wood today while we were eating dinner, upon the divorce cases and things of the United States. We have the highest rate of divorces than all the world put together. We have more divorces.
Men, the Bible said would be marrying giving in marriage, eating, drinking, the morals and so forth that they'd have, how that they, marrying and giving in marriage, the Reno, Nevadas. Men go out and live with her, marry a girl, and take her for his wife, live with her for a few days. He don't like her; he kicks her off without the courts. Ungodly people give him a divorce and a license to marrying another. but God says that's wrong. That's right. But the--they do it.
Our civilization is crumbling. We see that. It's a sign, a post that we're at the end time.
