<TITLE>13. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 Now listen what Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom..." Oh, let it sink in. "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of God." The Spirit of God in human flesh, in His Church, revealing and making manifest the sign of the Messiah as He did in that day, as He did in the days of Christ, as He is at the end of the Gentile dispensation, just a few hours before the bombs fall, before the world will be destroyed...
Great men, scientists, generals, and so forth, are saying that the next war will only last about three minutes. Russia's got them timed right for Hollywood and Vine. He's got them timed for Lakeside Drive in Chicago, and for New York City, and for everywhere. Them bombs are setting ready. We got it timed right on Moscow and different places. It just takes one person to make a mistake to pull one of them off sometime. And what happens? The Bible's fulfilled then. That's the only thing that's left.
Can't you see what God is doing, friends? Can't you pinch your... not your hands, but pinch your spirit with the Word of God and believe it.

L-58 God promised that before the Christ would come, that the Spirit of God would be made manifest just like it was in Abraham's time. Why? Now remember, He never did that down in Sodom. He did that to Abraham. That's why the message don't get the right of way like it should have; It's only to the elect, the Church world, Abraham's seed.
Oh, you children of Abraham, surely you're not that blind. Don't think I'm speaking of myself. That's a lie. I would say if that would be me, that I--I'd be a liar. I'm speaking of the Spirit of God in our midst, doing the same thing, the Angel of the Lord.

L-59 You've got the picture of It here. Science has took Its picture--the scientific mechanical eye of the camera. George J. Lacy examined that picture from Houston that night; he said, "Brother Branham, I have said sometimes that you were--it was psychology, so they told me, that you're--that you could read the minds of people, that you was a great mind reader." Said, "I know better than to say that." He said, "I thought it was psychology." But said, "The mechanical eye of this camera won't take psychology." Said, "The Light struck the lens; the Light's there."
What is it? The same Pillar of Fire that followed the children of Israel. It's the same thing here today, the same Christ. Any Bible student knows that the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel through the wilderness was the Angel of the covenant, Christ, the Logos that went out of God in the beginning. And when It was made flesh and dwelt in a human body here on earth named Jesus, look what It did then. Look what It did when It come down in some flesh and talked to Abraham. Look what It did when It was here on earth, that walked in Galilee, what It did. Well, here It is back again tonight, dwelling in all of us, the universal Church, doing the same thing: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and for ever. Now, to clear your minds; I feel it: "Christ is not a Light." Christ is a Light.

L-60 Christ, when He was on earth said, "I came from God." Is that right? What was He then? The Pillar of Fire. "I go to God." Did He say that? After His death, burial, and resurrection, Paul was on his road down to Damascus, and all of a sudden, a great Light struck him to the ground that blinded his eyes. The others didn't see It. Paul saw It. And He... They heard the voice. And He said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
He said, "Who are You, Lord?"
He said, "I'm Jesus." What? The Pillar of Fire again to fulfill His promise. "I come from the Spirit world; I go back to the Spirit world." The flesh was only brought here for a sacrifice to redeem us sinners, that we might be worthy by His grace to enter in, because we're invited to come in.
