<TITLE>06. Par 21-25</TITLE>L-21 Now, and when they were talking He appeared. And then notice, when He appears, He don't begin to take sides with you, "Oh, that's right, this one ought to be put out, and this ought to have a new pastor. Or this neighbor done you wrong." See, as soon as He appeared, He begin to preach the Word. A real servant of God always goes to the Word.
He said, "Oh, foolish and slow of heart to believe all the prophets have said about Christ..." See how that He brought it in, "Are you so slow and foolish that you did not believe what the prophet said?"

L-22 What if He would appear tonight? I'd just like to ask this. What would He do at the Branham Tabernacle tonight? Are you so slow at heart? What would He do in Jeffersonville tonight where the Gospel has been preached for twenty-five years, signs and wonders, miracles, and undoubted things, things that's never been done since Jesus left the earth is performed daily. The sick are healed. The signs and wonders performed, great prophecies made that never fail, the Gospel being preached without compromising. And still the barrooms and the honky-tonks is loaded tonight in Jeffersonville.
Oh, how can we escape the wrath of God? I've said this many times and I say it yet tonight. If God would let us go without punishment, He'd be an unjust God. He'd have to raise up Sodom and Gomorrah and apologize to them for sinking them, for the same thing that we're doing daily and getting worse... Although there were a bunch of heathen people, but we're supposed to be a Christian nation.

L-23 And as He talked to them and begin to explain to them the Scriptures; and not was He only just patting them on the back and giving them some little baby doctrine, but He was rebuking them, and said, "You're foolish and slow at heart. Why did you doubt what the prophet said?" See where He went? Straight to the Scriptures.
And they begin to watch and listen. He said, "Ought not Christ to have rose the third day and entered into His glory?" And as He went along all day long talking, yet they did not know Him, because their eyes was holded. They would been closed and they could not see Him or understand Him.

L-24 Now, here's where I want to get to, what I want you to see. That was the first message after the resurrection. And as He walked with them through the entire day, they did not know Him, yet He was with them. But He Himself had their eyes closed. But when it got towards the setting of the sun, and Jesus made as if He was pass them by.
If that isn't just exactly what He's done again in these last days at the setting of the sun... Did you notice what He give the church then through the day, just preaching the Word. He never performed one sign or wonder. He never said anything but just preach the Word about the resurrection of what the prophet said. That's what He's done since the days of His going away until this last day.
But now (Oh, bless His Name.), the sun is setting. And He made as if He would not stop. Oh, I can think of Fanny Crosby when she cried, "Pass me not, oh, gentle Saviour."

L-25 And these disciples said, "Come and abide. Stay with us through the darkness, for it's getting late." And He made out like He was going on, but they constrained Him. In other words, they begged Him.
Oh, if we had more begging type of people... Sister, brother, do you know the Bible said just for the Holy Ghost to mark those who sigh and cry for the abominations did in the city?
