<TITLE>03. Par 9-13</TITLE>L-9 And when He was here on earth they said, "You say saw Abraham, and You're not yet fifty years old?"
He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." "I AM" was the One, the Pillar of Fire, that spoke to Moses in the burning bush. We're all aware of that.
He said, "I come from God and I go back to God." Does any of you teachers know that of the Scripture? Jesus said that.
And then if He come from a Pillar of Fire, what did He return back to? Same thing He come from.

L-10 You say, "Brother Branham, is that authentic?" Yes. Acts, about the 8th or 9th chapter, you'll find where Paul, after Jesus' resurrection, he was on his road to Damascus to put the people in jail for making too much noise and for causing disturbance. And he... They were against they were against their orthodox teaching, and he was a great teacher who set under Gamaliel, the great orthodox teacher.
And on his road down, there was a--a Light that struck him and put him on the ground, blind. All teachers know that. All peoples know that, that reads the Bible. He was blinded, and he--when he raised up he said, there was a voice came and said, "Saul... (That's found in Acts the 8th chapter.) Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks."
And he said, "Who are You, Lord, that I persecute?"
The voice came back and said, "I'm Jesus, that you persecute."

L-11 Then we see in the Scriptures that God, after dwelling in Christ, had returned back again, by the Name of Jesus, in the same Light that He was in the beginning.
When the Saint Peter, the apostle, was in the prison--and at Saint Marks house they were praying for God to deliver him--we hear by the Scriptures, that there was a Light came into the prison where the apostle was. And as the Light led him, the doors came open before him--inner and outer doors--out into the street. And he thought he had dreamed a dream, because the Light was so real, that opened the doors before him.

L-12 If God dwells in immortality, then He cannot die. He is immortal. And it's He Who we worship tonight. It was He who made the promise, "The works that I do, shall you do also." He promised His church, that He would work in His church, among His members, His mystic Body, spiritually speaking, until He came again, that the same things that He did, would be confirmed in His church by the believers.
The last Words that our Lord said as He left the earth, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow those that believe."... We could not add to that or take from that. We must believe that which God has said.
The picture, you may obtain. And the tapes are at the bookstand, and the books.

L-13 It's been a--a pleasure to be with you these few nights. I do appreciate, if there happens to be the reporters here, of all of their goodness and kindness to try to further the cause. They have been gentlemen who has come and give an honest eye report of the meeting. And I do appreciate that. And I'm sure that the people appreciates it.
Sometimes people are critical. It's because they don't know. If they don't know any better, then we feel sorry for those people, that they do not know any better. And it would be a horrible thing to think, friend... What if you were one of those people who were critical of Christ and did not believe? If you would've followed the meeting and noticed what would happen, of the people that's gone insane, died with cancer, set paralyzed, after the meetings were over... That is not just my word; that's authentic, on record, signed statements and documents.
