<TITLE>17. Par 160-167</TITLE>L-160 And when we see our hearts are unconcerned... Oh, we enjoy a good message to listen on the radio, or go to the church. We appreciate a good message. We don't mind speaking of Jesus somewhere. But, Lord, is sin so a burden to us that it brings tears to our eyes, sighing, crying, and standing against it, everything, the abomination that's did in the city? Lord, let the Angel of God see that upon us and mark us. Grant it, Lord.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus, now and prepare our hearts, and give us Thy true signs that You're in our midst, that we might know that we're ceiving--receiving the last sign before the end of this generation.

L-162 And we see the illegitimacy, when men living in the nation and having babies born by other men's wives, and--and little girls on the street, and hundreds turned away from schools every year, and teenage becoming mothers, and there's no respect, and how that the women are becoming poisoning themselves by smoking and--and drinking, and televisions, and so forth that's corrupting the minds of the children. O Lord, how long can it stand? And You a holy God...
O Father, I--I'm strangely feeling today that something must be done quickly, Lord. I don't know what to say, but I pray, Lord, that You'll place in our hearts of what to do. Grant these things, Lord. We ask them in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-164 The hour is at hand. Every sensible person that's got reasoning, knows that something's fixing to happen. There's not a person in this building that's got its right mind, but knows that this world cannot stand under these conditions. We can't stand, friends. There's not one thing; as your pastor and your brother, there is not one thing that I can guide you towards this morning but to Jesus Christ. There isn't a thing that I know. Just think of the things that's prophesied to come before the rapture takes place, everything that I know of is done fulfilled.
You say, "What about the mark of the beast?" That's to come in the tribulation. The Church will be gone then. Won't have to mark these; these done gone. See? The marking's going on now. The marking is the showing forth, the brand. Flee to God; flee to Him quickly.

L-166 I wonder this morning, while we're waiting here just a minute. And I feel like you do. I--I can sense your feeling, each one of you trying to think, "O God, search me out." That's the way I feel too. I realize its a... These messages like that, friend, is not popular amongst the people. You condemn them and you con... You--you just make them low. Somebody's got to do that. I wish it had been maybe somebody else. But if it falls my lot to do it, if I have to be the scrub woman, let me scrub. If I'm... David said, "I'd rather be a door mat at the house of God, than to dwell in tents with sin." That's right. Whatever God wants you to do, do it. Don't be ashamed. If there's...

L-167 And remember, I know that's a great thing. Say, "Brother Branham, you say only eight souls would be saved?"
I don't know how many will be saved; I couldn't tell you. But I'll say one thing: they'll be so few in a day like this. Just think, in that day where He was at, how many was saved. Think of the day of Noah, and the day of Lot--Lot, and all them; He said, "So shall it be in the coming of the Son of man, 'cause strait is the gate, and narrow is the way." You see, you go in by yourself, with Him; that's all. See? "And but few there'll be that find it." How many believes that's the Gospel Truth? Jesus Christ...?... "Few there'll be that find it," just a very few. Be one of those few. I know that's hard; it's strenuous. And it strains on me to say it, feeling a human love for you, but the love of God constrains me to tell you.
