<TITLE>07. Par 21-24</TITLE>L-21 But I want you to notice Lot and also notice Noah. Before any rain could ever fall, before one drop of moisture come from the oncoming clouds of judgment... As we read last night, and I believe truly by the Gospel we see the handwriting on the wall. Anybody I believe, that was mentally balanced, could see that we have just a few hours left, and maybe this is the last one. But before one drop of water of judgment fell, Noah went in the ark.
And did not Abraham say to the Angel, "Would the Judge of all the earth make the innocent suffer with the guilty?" Certainly not, the Judge of all the earth will do righteous.
And notice before there was even one speck of fire that come from the skies, Lot was taken out of Sodom.
Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah and in the days of Lot, so will it be in the coming of the Son of God." And if the handwriting's on the wall, if the time of judgment is at hand, how close is the rapture of the Church? How close is it tonight? Think of it.

L-22 Noah went into the ark for safety. Lot came out of Sodom. One came out; the other went in. What is it the type of, when it's conglomerated together? It's the type of the Church coming out of the world for safety, and going into the ark of Christ to go to glory. One come out, the other went in. One come out to keep from being destroyed with the world; the other one went into the ark of safety. And Christ is the Ark of safety.
And remember. Before that the judgments of hail, fire, and darkness swept over Egypt, Israel made her way to Goshen where there was light. And Egypt was left to wander in the darkness.
Men and woman, listen to me now. Before you're left on this earth of misery, and canker here in sin, run to the Light as hard as you can go... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.], the Light, Christ Jesus, and accept His Message of mercy.
"Hurry," said the Angel, "and escape thither, for I can't do nothing till thou has come out," judgment cannot come.

L-23 Russia's got the missile that'll put all of us on our knees. And so our scientists says that we are five years behind them. It'll be five years before we can catch up to where they are now. Our little sputnik fizzled about three foot off the ground. Theirs make trip after trip around the world.
What is it speaking to us? God saying to His Church, "Come hither, for I can do nothing till thou hast come hither." God waiting for His Church to break down their denominational barriers and come together for a real outpouring of the Holy Spirit to lift her to glory. "I can do nothing until thou comes hither," waiting for us to come together.

L-24 Jesus said, "When the Son of man is revealed from heaven." Let me close by saying this: that the Son of man is now being revealed from heaven.
"Will it come after while, Brother Branham?"
It is now. And I hope I won't have to make this so personal of this own meeting, but that your spirit within you that's give you by God, can read what I'm talking about. The Son of man has already come from glory and is revealing Himself for the past few years to His Church in mercy, showing them His great Presence, doing the same things that He did when He was here on earth, revealing Himself like He did to Abraham. Before the destruction, He has come now in mercy, revealing Himself to the Church. It's being laughed at and scoffed at. The next time He reveals Hisself, it'll be in judgment on the world and the nations that's forgot God and sinned their way of grace--their day of grace, rather, away. Because they have forgotten God. And they're doing the same thing that they did to the Angel of Lord back there, mocking and making fun of it. But He's here now in mercy.
