<TITLE>16. Par 55-56</TITLE>L-55 And now you see this; it's a Light. When the children of Israel was led by the Angel of God through the wilderness, what was it? A Pillar of Fire, is that right? Thirteenth chapter of Exodus. God kept It, in the day time It looked like a white Light, like a cloud. And at night time, It was a Light. Now, that was Christ. How many knows that?
Well, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and if He said, "I come from God and I go back to God..." Then when He was here on earth, He was a man in flesh, when He returned back, His corporeal body went into the Presence of God and He turned back to Light. Is that right? If He's the same as He was when He was with Moses. Now, is that Scriptural?
When Paul was on his way down to Damascus, what was It struck him down? What did he see? A Light, is that right? And he said, "Why persecutest thou Me?"
He said, "Who are You, Lord?" Called the Light, Lord. "Who are You, Lord?"
He said, "I'm Jesus."
So He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. You see it? Now, He's Spirit now, called the Holy Spirit. The same with God the Father, leading Moses, called God the Father, the three dispensations, Fatherhood, Sonship, and Holy Ghost. See? It's just three offices of the same self God. Tonight His office is here on earth in His Church as the Holy Ghost, God the Holy Ghost. Same God that was in Jesus is in you. And if He's the same, and correctly the same, the same things that He did then, He does now. If it isn't, then He isn't the same yesterday, today, and forever, He changed or weakened in His death.

L-56 Now, now just--if you just stand where you are just a moment, lady. Now, how many people in this building is totally strangers to me, let's see your hands, everywhere that you--that you know I don't know you. All in the prayer line, are you all strangers to me? Are you a stranger to me? Everywhere, everybody's strangers. Then I don't know you. I don't know nothing about you, never seen you in my life.
But now, you say, "Brother Branham, what you stalling for?" Sure, I am; that's exactly right. I'm waiting for Him. What... If He doesn't come to me, I--I--there's nothing I can do, that's right. But if He does come, then He can work. But I have to be anointed. Then it's your faith that pulls. See?
Now, here stands a woman; here's a very perfect picture of a man and a woman again. Let me quote a Scripture for the stranger. When Jesus of Nazareth was here on earth, as I'm talking to this woman now. Now, Philip said... He was a Jew. When Jesus told him where he was before he come to the meeting, he said, "You're the Son of God; You're the King of Israel." Now, all that knows that that's in the Scripture, Saint John the 1st chapter, say, "Amen." All right.
