<TITLE>09. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 Then this wise virgin went away in the translation. And these others who came and knocked on the door, what happened? What taken place? The Bible said they were cast into outer darkness, where there were weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
Israel, when the tribulation period hit Egypt, there wasn't one thing ever struck Egypt--the Israelites, because they were in God's provided place: Goshen, no tribulations at all. See? The rest of them was in the tribulation, but not this one. Now, all those things being shadows, they've got to type something.
And then as we see the forecoming of the Lord, we see how people walked in those days, and see how people got heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God. That's the way it is today. Men are walking after their own ungodly lusts. It's become to the thing. Excuse this expression, my sisters, but it's come to real moral decency is a thing, almost, of the past, among our people.

L-30 Yesterday in Saint Edward's hospital I heard a doctor tearing a girl to pieces back there. He got up the steps where I could shake his hand. Everybody in the hospital was listening and looking. It was the girl back there, some of you little ungodly clothes on, little britches like. You know what the Bible says about that? He says it's an abomination in the sight of God for a woman to wear trousers like a man. Right. And there she was.
Well, the doctor said... A little crippled fellow. I know him, but I can't think of his name. He said, "Do you mean to tell me that the sister let you get in this hospital like that?" Said, "Why, you're a disgrace to the hospital. Get out of here."
I said, "Boy, I want to shake your hand." Certainly.
Said, "How did you ever get by the front? Ain't you ashamed of yourself to come in here dressed like that?"
I thought, "Oh, brother, that's right." I admire a man with enough courage to call right, right, and wrong, wrong, regardless of who he is... See?

L-31 But the thing of decency. Oh, may I... You'll forgive me won't you? I want to stop here just a minute. Now, I want, maybe straighten this up just a little, my dear beloved friend. Don't think that Brother Branham's trying to be rude. I'm not. I'm only trying to tell truth. And what I know that yonder in glory someday, if I'd see your life smutted out, and then I know that I was the cause of it, knowing truth and wouldn't tell it... No, I lay it off of my shoulders unto yours. You make your decision.
Our women that dress like that has an evil spirit. See? There's only one thing in the Scripture ever did that. That was the devil stripped the people. Look, now, I don't mean to say you're immoral. I don't mean that, my dear sister. But you're in the trend of the day in such way until you just simply, you think it's nice because the others do it. And you don't realize that that's the devil a doing that. Sure it is. You're not popular; you're crazy. Excuse the expression. Well, that's right. I mean you're...?... the thing away from God.

L-32 Oh, God's Holy Spirit, not always striving with man, not willing that any should perish, but that all might come to repentance... And God, give us the courage in the day that when preachers... Here's where it started from, is because your pastor at the platform puts up with it. That's right. You ought to be excommunicated.
If I had a church and women did that in the church, immediately would they go off from the church books. Yes, sir, right there, they need straightened up. That's right, correctly. God hold them responsible.
