<TITLE>05. Par 43-52</TITLE>L-43 And in their old manuscripts, as they read of the different Magis who had passed on. And I can't pronounce their Bible at this time, or they had called Zedakoah, something on that manner, that they read and referred back to this writings of their sacred men. And how that many of them was idolaters, and brought shame and disgrace to the people, no doubt that these Magis bowed their heads in shame. But, yet, then the sacred fires a burning represented a true God.

L-44 Then I can see coming from the castle, one with a scroll in his hand. And he presents it to the sages as they set upon the observation tower, watching the stars and everything moving perfectly in harmony, as it did night by night, just as God ordained it.
And in here, while they're speaking on kingdoms falling, they read a portion of Daniel which said, "I beheld until a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and it smote the kingdoms of the earth, and they become as--as chaff on the threshing floor. And this great stone raised into a mountain that covered all the earth. And His Kingdom shall be an everlasting Kingdom." Their hopes then was kindled to a time that when empires would cease to fall, and when kingdoms would cease to be ruined, for there was coming an everlasting Kingdom appointed of the one true and living God.
And as they thought on these things, on the Scripture, one must've looked up. And there was a stranger among them. They saw a Light that they had never seen before. It was a majestic Star that had not, till this time, belonged, or did not come into the view of the eyes of the Magi. But there it was. Why? The Scriptures must be fulfilled.

L-47 You say, "Then, Brother Branham, do you think that God would deal with those Magis?"
The Bible said in Hebrews the 1st chapter and the 1st verse, that, "God, in sundry times, in divers manners, all kinds of manners He spoke unto the fathers."
It's also written in Acts 10:35, that, "God is no respect of person, but He honoreth those in every nation who desire to serve Him in righteousness." Though you be in error, yet, in the righteousness of the--the projective of your heart that you desire to serve God, God will honor that. So, therefore, denominations has no lines that they can set that'll stop God to any certain creed, because God will look upon the motive of the human heart, and there He will work from that spot.

L-50 And we find that these Magis, honest in their heart and desiring to see that one true God, and looking for His prophecy to be fulfilled, which said that, "The Lord shall raise him up and make a... His Kingdom shall have no end. It shall be an everlasting Kingdom."
It was at that time the Star, that we know today as called Star, appeared in the sky. I can imagine that those Magis with one accord stood speechless as they looked at the phenomena of a Star that had defied the laws of the solar system, and had come from the great constellations of the heavenly bodies to declare something when it was fixing to happen.

L-52 I hope at this point you can read between the lines and know what we mean, that in this day God has defied everything to declare Hisself, that He's alive today, has raised from the dead, in His great celestial Body. The picture here of His Being would defy every infidel in the world. He's alive forevermore. God does things in His own way, unusual.
