<TITLE>13. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 Now, I see the time's getting away. Not too long each night... I'd like to ask you something. Upon the basis of God's Word, we realize that Christ made Hisself known to the Jews by telling Nathanael where he was before he came to the meeting? Is that right? Made Hisself known to the Jews many other ways, by them touching His garment and so forth. Always in a supernatural. But the supernatural is always with the Word.
I realize that I'm standing on the platform here tonight and two real scholars behind me that I know of, three of them. And I'd guess there's more than that out there. But I want to ask you something.
In the Old Testament they had a way of knowing whether a prophet told the truth or not, or a dreamer. That was on the Urim Thummim. And we believe that that was the breastplate of Aaron.
And when the prophet was prophesying, if those conglomerations of those lights work together and made that big glorious light, the prophet was telling the truth. If it didn't work, then the prophet wasn't telling the truth.

L-45 Now, that priesthood ceased, and the Aaronic priesthood is gone. We have a new priesthood. We have a new Urim Thummim and that's God's Word. If a man tells the truth, the lights in the power of God's Word will reflect it that it's the truth.
And how was it? It was a supernatural reflection. How would a man talking make those, all those different stones send forth that rainbow color? How would it do it only when a prophet was prophesying? If he was false, it'd stay dormant. His words didn't come back. But if he was true, the--it recognized and sent forth a supernatural sign that the people would know that that prophet was telling the truth.
If God's Word prophesies something, and God takes the supernatural and proves that it's the truth, it's a Urim Thummim, people. Time to receive it and believe God.

L-46 Now, if He shall come tonight... I don't say that He will. If He comes and performs, and lives, and act, and does the same thing that we talked about Him, will you believe that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever?
How many in here will just raise their hands, say, "Brother Branham, I... It may puzzle me, but I will know that it's the truth if He does it, because the Word says so." Would you do it? Just raise your hand and say it? Wonderful. That's good. Thank you for your attention.
Now, now, you see where I stand? It's up to God to act next. If it doesn't, then the Word declares something that's not so and I've been found a false witness of a false word. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-47 But oh, before half a million at a time I seen Him doing the same thing. When I did it one time in Africa, I saw thirty thousand raw heathens break their idols on the ground and receive Christ as Saviour. Thirty thousand one call--one--one altar call, thirty thousand tagged raw heathens with idols in their hands...
But we Americans, we say, "Well, there, that could be something wrong. I just wonder if Dr. Philip Jones or whatever, you know... You know he tells that this is a lot of telepathy." Oh, friend open your heart. Pray and say, "God," you out there in the meeting, say, "God...?... Let me know, Lord. Let me enjoy Your mercies in this last day."
For we're at the end time. The handwriting's on the wall, notice in the sky with a sputnik. See? We--we know that the world's really shook up now. And anything can happen. And what did Jesus say? "There'll be signs in the heavens and on earth." Jesus said, "When the Son of man reveals Himself." He is now in mercy to the church, and in judgment to the world for rejecting. Now, let us pray.
