<TITLE>05. Par 16-18</TITLE>L-16 Now, what a beautiful thing it is that God is setting a day that when He is going to have a great supper set, to a celebration for His Son the Lord Jesus Who has pleased Him in every way. And God the Father is inviting those who He chooses. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father invites him first." That right? "No man can come to Me except he has an invitation from My Father." See, the King has to give the invitation. And you tonight that's had that invitation, how happy you ought to be.

L-17 I tell you: if President Eisenhower... And I'm not a politician, and I--I... But I think that Eisenhower's been one of the greatest presidents since Lincoln. I like him. He's a real gentleman. And when... If President Eisenhower would invite some people to come to a great dinner that he was going to give, or a great supper, what would you...? Oh, you would swell out. You'd want everybody to know. You would, by no means, turn that back and write, "Void, wrong address," and send it back. Why, you wouldn't do that... You'd be, as the old street expression is, if you'll excuse it, "crowing about it," showing everybody. "See, the President invited me." Well sure, you ought to be happy about it.
How much more should you be "crowing about it," as we call it, if God invited you to the wedding supper of His Son. How much more have you got to be thankful for. Now, Mr. Eisenhower, a great a man as he is, it would be an honor to set at the table with Eisenhower. But how much greater honor would it be to set with the Son of God. What a honor that would be.
How I would like to tell everybody that I had been invited to Eisenhower's supper. Why, I'd be happy. But how much more happier am I to know I'm invited to God's Son's supper (Amen.), the wedding supper of His Son. And going to have a part of it too when we get there, going to be included in it. Our name's already on the register. What? "Those who He foreknew, He has justified: those who he has justified, he hath (already, past tense) glorified." That's what the Scripture says. What you scared about then? See? If your name is written there... Seek out your own salvation. But if it's written there you'll be there, don't worry. Be sure it's there though.

L-18 Now, if--if Eisenhower would send you the invitation, how happy you would be. And another thing, I wouldn't think that you would try to go as an insult to Mr. Eisenhower's supper by wearing your old greasy clothes. Would you think so? All dirty, and an old pair of hobnail shoes on, whiskers over your face, or something or another... You wouldn't go out, say, "Hey, look here, I want to tell you something. Eisenhower [Brother Branham spits--Ed.] told me I could come, [Brother Branham spits again--Ed.] and said I..." Oh, that would be disgraceful to Eisenhower.
Well, how much more disgraceful is it, you who claim to have an invitation to the wedding supper, and walk around with makeup on and act like the world, and smoking and drinking and carrying on? Clean up if you're going to the wedding supper. You don't want to do that. Get out of it. See? Act like you're going somewhere. Amen.
I believe you're... If you really got the invitation and accept it, you will do it. Could you imagine it? My, I'd clean all the dirt out from under my fingernails and everything else, get every little old dirty thing that's hanging onto you. "Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin that so easily beset us, that we might run with patience the race that's set before us, looking to the Author and Finisher of our faith." Oh, my. What an example He gave. What ought we to do then? We're going somewhere to a wedding supper.
