<TITLE>09. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 But now he has his glass up. Oh, how he was just in his great smile, his little shimmy he was going to do before all the people. If that isn't a good television program... wouldn't--wouldn't Hollywood have went for that act? "Oh, I'll tell you..." he said, "here's what we'll do. You know that bunch of holy- rollers we used to have around here...?" See?
And just about the time he started to take a drink, he looked over against the wall. You know in the garden there was a great candlesticks hung up, and there was a plaster on the wall, and the lights was reflecting against this plaster from the garden. And his eyes bulged out. And he really got all shook up. The Bible said he did, said that his bones went out of joint and they beat together.

L-39 Yes, and some of these days this nation's going to be all shook up, sure enough. Oh, yes... sure. They said them holy-rollers, them Divine healers, that, this, that, and the other, what all they are... Just wait. God's just. He will send the message anyhow. He did in all other ages. He will do it now, and He is doing it.
And the revival is just about over. You remember as THUS SAITH THE LORD, I said, America made her final decision in 1946. Watch, since then. She's gone, and there's nothing left but judgment and chaos. Look what's happened in that much time. Just watch it, how it's going to keep faster and faster. We're at the end. We're living in the shadows of His coming. "There'll be signs in the heavens above and in the earth, men's hearts failing, fear, perplexed of times, distress between the nations." How the people will be heady, high-minded, how the daughters of Zion, the church will walk haughty, high-minded, with the way she'd walk, and mince and twist as she went. Where are we at? We're with Belteshazzar's big rock-and-roll party. And the church has been caught in the tide through television, through radio, through Hollywood. There we are... Real Christian women bobbing off their hair, wearing make-up on their faces, dressed in them little old dirty clothes, because reprobate people has told them there's no harm in it.

L-40 A Christian woman preacher sent a girl down here the other day that looked like she was poured into her clothes. She said, "Oh, Brother Branham, you're from the old school. Our pastor liberates women."
I said, "Liberate them from what?" They're liberating them from Christ and common decency. Oh, very famous, the woman is... certainly. But anything that does that's a child of hell. "By their fruit you shall know them." What a day we are living in. Sure, I don't believe--know it says how--but what kind of clothes you wear and so forth, but woman, do you realize what you're doing? You're making yourself a sex mark to every old scalawag rascal that comes by. But you want liberation. It shows what spirit that's in you. You want to get free from church, free from Christ, free from the Holy Spirit, so you can live like the rest of them. That don't exclude the Branham Tabernacle. That includes the Branham Tabernacle. "All, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Here we are. Oh, what a day, what a time.

L-41 And he's all shook up. And he looked and over against the wall, there was a part of a man's hand. And it was writing on the wall: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. Oh, all of them begin to watch this modern Godfrey, that had so much popularity. What's the matter with him? He's all shook up, sure enough. He's standing. He... the Bible said his knees were beating together. And something had happened. What? He couldn't understand it. He thought no one could get to them. But God can get to you. No matter where you are, He knows you. He knows your works.
So he says, "There's only one thing to do. That's call the pastor." So he went and got the pastor, and the cardinal, the archbishop, and the popes of his church. And he brought them all in. He said, "What does this mean?"
