<TITLE>07. Par 47-53</TITLE>L-47 A few days ago, I had the privilege of talking to a--a chaplain that's a great man. And, California, they had the scientists, some of the best that we got in the nations, had met there for a gathering, and to--to have a secret, closed meeting. And being that it was so terrible, they called a chaplain in with them. And this chaplain friend of mine, said, "Brother Branham, before I could be taken in, they searched my record to my great-grandmother, before I could go in this meeting." And he said, "I wish I had not been there." He said, "When those scientists got up and begin to speak," he said, "it seemed there was a gloom settled over the room, that made you feel like you was in an ice-house, chills, how it would curdle the blood of a man." Said, "They--we're not allowed to talk of these things. We're sworn under oath."

L-48 But said, "I am allowed to tell you this." He said, "They're fixing to do away with the army and with the aviation, the aviator corps, and so forth." Said, "They don't need them no more." He said, "They've got weapons so deadly that they could destroy the whole earth in one second's time." And said, "If they would let that be known, that people would go panickly, and go into the streets, screaming to the top of their voice." Said, "They've got a bomb that would drop on the earth, just one bomb would blow a hundred and seventy-five miles around, and over a hundred feet deep."

L-49 Where could you go to hide? What if you dug a thousand feet? You couldn't; you'd go into the volcanic eruption of the earth. But if you could dig a thousand feet under the earth, a concussion like that hitting on top of you would smash you into powder.
Said, "This one great scientist got up, and he was the top scientist of the army. He said, 'Gentlemen, I wish I could take an old cow and a wagon, and drive over behind the mountains and forget all about it, and serve my little time on earth, and leave.' He said, 'But we've got to face it. Driving behind the mountain won't do any good.' Said, 'Those mountains would become nothing but powder or volcanic ashes.'"

L-51 Oh, brother, it pays to know where you've got an escape in them times. We've got an escape; we got a Shelter. That shelter's under the wings of the Lord's everlasting protection; and knowing this, that you have an immortal soul that cannot die, that's not made with atoms, or with hydrogen, or with oxygen, or with anything that's on this earth; it's made by Spirit, that God Almighty created, Himself, and give to you.
What a day that we are living, what a time, that where men has achieved and achieved until he's achieved himself these things. Now, what shall he do with them?

L-53 You see, Satan uses a man's head. He chose that in the garden of Eden, to take a man's head, his thinking. And he has brought that down even to the church. See, the devil takes a man's head, so he can use his eyes. And if you'll notice, if the man isn't genuinely borned again, spiritual, he'll take what he can see with his eyes, the pride of life. And he'll go, many men, to say he's going to--to achieve something. He wants to join church. He wants to be religious. And he'll look around till he can find the biggest church he can find, because man wants to do something big. He wants to make a big name for himself. That's what carnal, foolish-thinking man think, "Oh, if I can have my organization, if I can only add so-many thousands to my denomination, it'll be the largest then in the land of its kind." What good does that do? But he thinks he's achieving something because he's adding more.
