<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>56-0304, Making A Way, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 66 min
L-1 Good evening, friends. And may the Lord richly bless you. And thank you, Brother Neville, for that kind remark. So happy to be back at the Tabernacle tonight in the service of our blessed Lord, and to see our friends out tonight to worship Him with us. It certainly is a grand privilege to meet once more this side the coming of the Lord. And after we see, hear so many going away unexpectedly, so quickly, we just wonder time after time, who's next. But having this blessed assurance, that if--there's nothing can separate us from the love of God that's in Christ. There's neither death, nor--nor nothing present, nor nothing future, or any powers that can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. And knowing this, that after this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting; unfixed, unsettled, and we rest upon that blessed hope, so glorious.

L-2 I was talking to my wife, and Mrs. Wood, and them, just... I come back; I was saying, "Well, it's just seems like it's just trip after trip and place after place, but yet, they become more glorious." And I--knowing that we're coming to the close, the--the--the nearness of the coming of the Lord, I said, "Well," Talking to my boy coming down the road the other day, coming from out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, then I said, "You know, home is a wonderful place." We were heading back home. I said, "We love this world; this is our home." We might not think it is, but it is. We were born for this home. This... God put us here. We had no way bringing ourselves here; even our father and mother had no way; that had to be in the hands of God. Many people are married, never have a child. But God so saw that we could come to this earth. And then when we come, we begin to grow and build into a body by atoms, and lights, and so forth, as it begin to take on from the earth. And then after we got a certain age, they stopped growing; we still add them to us, but they going away. Death is set in.

L-3 And then when this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one there waiting. See? We enter into that; we'll know one another. We can't shake hands; we have no senses of that feeling. We can't--I couldn't shake your hand, say, "How do you do, brother," because I--I--you wouldn't have that type of hand, but yet we're not in a corporal body as we are now. We're in a--a celestial body. And then when this...
And I was thinking of down in Egypt, that when Joseph left a memorial to the children of Israel, his bones, that someday they were going out. And as they went out, they would take his bones with them up to the promised land. And every Hebrew that desired to be back in the homeland... So no matter how well they was treated, yet his longing was to be back at the homeland. And every time they passed by and saw those bones, they knew that someday they were going back to the homeland.

L-4 While we're here waiting to cross out of this place, we see an empty tomb over yonder in Jerusalem, let us knowing that something happened. And then when we take on that glorified bod--not glorified, but celestial body, and we're walking around in the glory-lands with Christ, looking at each other, speaking to each other, we can talk, souls under the altar crying, "How long?" And then what will be the memorial there that we're coming back to earth again to eat and drink and sleep? There He will be setting there on a throne in a corporal body. Amen.
Someday we'll rise in that corporal body, and when He returns back, these celestial bodies will take on glorification, then we'll be like Him and we will live forever in that body. What a--what--what does anything else matter? It's all settled, that's just--just anchor right right there and that--this...
 My hopes is built on nothing less
 Than Jesus' Blood and righteousness;
 When all around my soul gives way,
 He's then all my hope and stay.
