<TITLE>09. Par 33-37</TITLE>L-33 When He come to the Samaritan, the woman was at the well, a lovely Samaritan woman. You remember there is only three nations of people, that's Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan: Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people. And the Samaritan was half Jew and half Gentile. (And you remember when it started, when they married their woman and so forth.)
And this young woman come up there, which we believe in our country to be a woman of ill fame, but she wasn't. This boy from India could tell you that. This is an Eastern Book and you're trying to read it with a Western education.

L-34 When I went to India and got off of the--of the airship, at Bombay, there was a bishop of the Methodist church. And all of them standing there said, "Don't you tell us you're a missionary, Mr. Branham. We know more about the Bible than you Yankees will ever know." And that's true. He said, "We had the Bible two thousand years before you was a nation." That's right: Saint Thomas Church is still there, where Saint Thomas went down and preached. But he said, "We understand that God has visit you, to make this Bible live again." Said, "That's what we want to know." That's it. The world's hungry for the Living Bread.

L-35 This Samaritan woman, as she stood at the well, Jesus said to her, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
"Well," she said... They had segregation. But He let her know that there was no difference. God made of one blood all peoples. And He said, "If you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." And the conversation went on till He caught her spirit. Then He found out what her trouble was. He said, "Go get your husband and come here."
What happened when the Jew was told that? The Jew said, "You're the Son of God." That's right. What happened to the Samaritan when she was told that? Said, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Now, we know that when the Messiah, which is called Christ, when He comes, He will tell us these things, but Who are You?"
He said, "I'm He that speaks to you."
She ran into the city and she said, "Come, see a Man that told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the Messiah?"

L-36 And He never did that one time to a Gentile. Why? He left it to this day. That's what He said here, "In the days when the Son of man shall reveal Himself from heaven..." He's revealing Himself now to the church for mercy. The next time He reveals Hisself is in destruction to those who's rejected the Message. God be merciful for--to us, while we pray, just a moment. ("Softly and tenderly," Sister Gertie, if you will.)

L-37 I just wonder tonight, feeling sorry for you standing around the wall, I can feel your anticipations. I just wonder, oh, if you'd be honest with yourself and with God just a moment. Do you really want to hurry and get out of this? There's a Man in the presence tonight, called the Lord Jesus. He has the ticket for you. And all you have to do is just give Him your heart; He will wash it in His own Blood and cleanse you from all sin and doubt and will take you to His heaven when He comes, and it might come before morning.
The sputniks... There's not one thing, the science says, you hear it every day on the radio when they're--on the television, when they're interviewing these science. They say there's not a thing to hinder this world from being blowed up at any minute. It just takes a good drink of vodka, and they'll pull a lever, and that's it. Hurry. The message is urgent. Hurry, escape. Run for your life. Get out of it. Come out from this modern Babylon. Get away from the walls. Can't you feel something tugging at your heart? If you're real spiritual and God's speaking to you... Surely if He spoke to those little birds, He can speak to you.
