<TITLE>03. Par 21-33</TITLE>L-21 And then while sitting there, I was looking. And Brother Demos Shakarian called me out of it, and he said, "What's the matter?" If he just wouldn't have said it at that time.
I said, "Remember, THUS SAITH THE LORD. Someone who's near to me is fixing to die. And there's going to be some young man that is spitting blood from his mouth."
And I said, "Where is Billy?"
Many of you know my son, Billy Paul. His mother died when he was just a little baby. And I packed him around. And nighttime we couldn't afford enough coal to keep fire, so we'd... I'd put his bottle under my shoulders, like this, and keep it warm for him at nighttime. When he'd wake up crying for his mother, I'd put the bottle in his mouth. And she asked me when she was dying, "Always stick with Billy." And we've been real chums. And so everywhere I go, I take Billy, and he's stuck with me.

L-24 So then, Billy was fixing to go up to, what they call, "The Garden of Hope" to get some pictures. I called him, quickly. I said, "Don't go. Something's fixing to happen."
Many times, visions say things; we don't know what they are. The prophets of the Bible didn't know what they were writing about; they just wrote it. And they were vindicated men, inspired.
And Brother Shakarian said, "Brother Branham, what do you say will take place?"
I said, "I don't know. Someone... They didn't have any teeth, and I seen them gasp twice and died. And the other person, they said spit blood from their mouth, looked like a young man; and said, 'He can't die; he's not ready.'"

L-28 And then we watched. And I felt led to go to Jamaica, but not to Puerto Rico.
So when we got time--time come to go to Puerto Rico, the same place that that plane fell there in Jamaica and killed all those people... They just looked like hogs hanging down on the safety belt, just the parts of their body just broiled up. And they pushed it off, and we... There's still the plane laying there when we come in. And our plane, coming back to take us to Puerto Rico, blowed the pistons out on the same place, when they stopping to get us. Billy said, "Daddy, are you sure that we should even take a chance on it?"
I said, "The Christian Business Men's chapter said I must come. It's for the fellowship of the chapter that I go these couple nights."
He said, "You remember that vision?"
I said, "Yes."

L-31 But three days later, when I got... I was standing in the a garden (I never seen anything so pretty) at Puerto Rico. And Brother Fred Sothmann (He may be here tonight.), Canadian friend, was taking pictures. And this great... you got. It's pretty here in Phoenix; it's pretty in Los Angeles; it's pretty in Miami; but it wouldn't hold a candle to Puerto Rico. Oh, it's beautiful, and I never seen anything like it in my life, them big reefs, breaking out there, my, half a mile out, and flamingos walking around in the tropical parks, and all. I never seen anything so much like heaven. Brother Sothmann turned; he said, "Brother Branham, heaven must look like this."
I said, "Oh, it wouldn't; it couldn't hold a candle to heaven."
He said, "Oh, them, that great sea."
I said, "But it's the rocking of the earth is making the waves." I said, "But it'll be peaceful there; she'll be flowing just as quietly as it can. And I said, "It won't be flamingos walking around in the park; it'll be Angels walking around in the park where we're fellowshipping."

L-33 And just then I seen my mother-in-law and father-in-law come walking by me. My father-in-law has been gone now for about eight, ten years. And at that very same minute, my mother-in-law was passing in to meet him. She died at that same time.
And when two hours later when I got to Miami, I called to see how everything was at home. My mother-in-law (no teeth) gasped twice, died. Her son, not ready to die, more or less, kind of an alcoholic, bursted, a hemorrhage--from a hemorrhage in his stomach, and just spurted blood from his mouth, from every way.
