<TITLE>20. Par 91-95</TITLE>L-91 How many knows that He said, "A little while and the world (that Greek word 'kosmos' which means 'the world order') that the world won't see Me no more; yet ye shall see Me, for I will be with you to the end of the world." How many knows that? Jesus Christ the same yes... If He is the same, He's got to declare Himself the same.
Look what He said, "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." Now, the vine doesn't bear fruit. The branch bears fruit. And the kind of fruit it bears, is the kind of fruit, the life that's getting out of the vine. If it's a pumpkin, as I said, it'll bear pumpkins.

L-92 If it's a sinful vine you're hooked into, it'll bear sin. If it's a church vine, it'll bear churchanity. If it's Christ, it'll bear the works of Christ: got to. "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." And now, He only has hands, mine and yours, eyes, mine and yours. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
And let me say this as I'm leaving tonight. This is America's hour. And she's spurned it. I said two years ago that America would never have a revival. Write it in your book and find out if it's right or not. She's done.
If God lets America get by with this sinful, unbelieving, church-going bunch of hypocrites, He will have to raise up Sodom and Gomorrah and apologize to them for sinking them (That's right.) to be just. That's right. Even though Angels smote them blind, they were in the darkness feeling around, a perverted spirit. And tonight America stands in the same shape, nothing left but fire.

L-93 I want you to notice what was that Angel's message that come tried to get them out of there. I want to give you just a little on the side now, just a minute. When the Angel come to Abraham, Sarah was back in the tent. How many knows that? And the Angel had His back turned to the tent. How many knows that? The Bible said so.
And the Angel, which was Christ... We know that was Christ. He was called Elohim, which is the Almighty God in a form of a man, He stood there. And when He was, He was looking at Abraham. He said, "According to the time of life, I'm going to visit you." And Sarah, back in the tent went [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] laughed, back behind His back. He said, "Why did Sarah laugh?"

L-94 What was it? It was the Angel's message to Sodom before it burnt up. And we're going to get the fire. And before the fire falls, that same Angel with the same signs and wonders, touch His garment and find out. Can you see it's a Angel, the last warning to the Church. How many understands that now, to make it plain to you? See?
The same Angel has to do the same thing. There He is, the same Christ. He was the One that was with Abraham. Here He is tonight doing the same thing, and America just sets still. Sure, it can't be nothing else, has to be that way. But there's some eagles.
Open your eyes now. God anoint your eyes. And if Christ will do the same thing from this platform tonight that He did when He walked in Galilee, wonder if--if you'd go right home like Cleopas and them, saying, "Did not our hearts burn within as He talked to us along the road?" Would you believe that? God bless you. Let's pray.

L-95 Now, Lord, I've did all that I know how. I commit the rest of the service to You. Now, anoint Your people there, Lord. This is a lovely group of people. And, Lord, the reason I've tried to be so stern with them, not that I thought they deserved to be stern, but I'm only warning, Lord, only warning. And I pray that You'll let them understand that, that I'm only setting out a warning there and letting them know that this is America's hour, her last hour.
"Hurry." said Lot, or the Angel said to Lot, "Get out, come quickly. I can't do nothing till you come out first." And that's the Angel's warning today, the same Angel, doing the same works, proving that Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. Grant it, Lord. Knock at their heart; open their eyes; and may they see Thee tonight, for I ask it in Christ's Name. Amen.
