<TITLE>14. Par 56-59</TITLE>L-56 Listen friend, there isn't a thing, this very hour, in the next twenty-five minutes or ten minutes, for Russia to send up it's satellite and sweep it over here across this nation, train it's missile, say, "Surrender, or in two minutes you'll be nothing but dust." They can do it right now. Think of it. They can do it right now.
What would happen? Plane load after plane load, ship load after ship load, of ungodly communistic soldiers would swallow our lands, would grab our girls, and take them into the street and treat them like cattle, ram a sword through them, go into our homes and take our wives out and bust the babies head against the wall, and ravish our women. You say one thing, it belongs to them.
You say, "Will our Pentagons surrender? Sure it would. That'd be the only sensible thing for it to do. It would have to do it. If it didn't, we'd be nothing but powder in a few minutes. We'd have maybe a few more hours of life, but what a slaughter. What? They may be loading on the planes right now. The ships may be in harbor. Soon, these things that we're talking about can be a reality. There's not one thing left for it to happen--to keep it from happening according to prophecy. Here we are. And next week, you don't know what condition you could be in. The handwriting is on the wall. We're a weighed in the balance and found wanting.

L-57 Now, if these things are true and you see they are true, then how close is the coming of the Lord? Tonight, I want to continue. What, where will the church be when this takes place? Now, you who've always been taught that the church will take the tribulation, come find out. If this is so close, if this destruction is so close, how much closer is the coming of the Lord? For it'll take place before the church ever... Before one rocket hits this country, the church will be in the arms of Christ and gone. We're at the end. It can happen any time. Let us pray.

L-58 I want the deep thinking people in here, I want those who are really know that that Man has been talking to you in the last few minutes... "And yes, I've been wrong. And I want to get right with that Man, 'cause He's the only One Who can read this handwriting. I want to be right." Would you just raise your hand and say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham." God bless you, sir. God bless you, lady. God bless you, sir. God bless you, young man. God bless you, lady, you, you, that's right. God bless you. God bless you, sir. God bless you, la--that young lady. God bless you, young woman. God bless you, girl. God bless you, little one back there, the little teen-age girl, the little boy. God bless you, you're just in the turnings of life.

L-59 Oh, it could happen, and it's going to happen. It's got to happen. And these brittle threads that you're walking on is going to break, honey. And your poor helpless soul, what's going to happen to you? Time shall be no more. Time will then blend into Eternity. The handwriting on the wall... a scientific proof... They're trying to get to the moon like they did in Babylon. Everything is repeating. The God of heaven can't hold His peace any longer. It's time. When, I don't know, but it's time.
 False prophets are lying,
 God's truth their denying,
 That Jesus the Christ is our God,
 Those Gentile days numbered,
 With horrors encumbered,
 Return, oh, disbursed, to your own.
 The day of redemption is near,
 Men's hearts are failing for fear,
 Be filled with the Spirit,
 Your lamps trimmed and clear,
 Look up, your redemption is near.
It's later than you think. Won't you just now, under conviction... If you feel that you've been wrong, I don't care how long you've belonged to this tabernacle. I don't care how long you've belonged to your church, how many times you spoke with tongues, how many times you danced in the Spirit, if you could still see the world hanging on you, come here just a minute. Come here, lost sheep. Return, oh, dispersed, to your own.
