<TITLE>04. Par 12-16</TITLE>L-12 When I went into Bombay, India, and many of the other places... They are not... Archbishop of the Methodist church and them met me there at the... when they had garlands and everything hanging out... They said, "Well, Brother Branham, don't come here saying you're a missionary." Said, "We know more about the Bible then you Yankees will ever know."
And that's about the truth. Yes... It's an Eastern Book. Well, it's... If you go--ever go to the East and study the Bible, it's--it's a brand new Book than what you read of it here in the West. We try to make an Eastern Book compare with the Western way of living; you can't do it. The parables and things are just perfect; they're still there. And they had the Bible two thousand years before we was a nation; so there you are. See?

L-13 They said, "We know about the Bible, but we understand that God has given you a gift that makes this Bible live again. That's what we're interested in, not missionaries." Said, "We have plenty of that here. But we understand that--that God has given a gift to you that'll make this Bible live Its life again, a Book of Acts over." Said, "That's what we're interested in knowing."
I said, "Jesus Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. That's just exactly..." I said, "He hasn't changed one bit." And that's when the Lord began to work in there.

L-14 Now, I... We have great men all... America is going to be more condemned then any nation in the world at the day of the judgment, because it's had such great men in it, in its beings, in its walls here, inside its--its domain. Because that there's been revival after revival sweep across this country, and yet people continually indulge right on in sin, getting worse every day. See? The church even, itself cooling off and getting away from God. It's a pity. But what can we do about it? The Bible predicted these things would come, and it's going to be here.
You say, "Well, why are you crying out about it?" Because someone has to cry out against the wrong, so that at the day of the judgment, there'll be a voice recorded. That's right. That you know... They knowed better, and all the signs...

L-15 Not long ago, when we were coming into Bombay, I just... Something come on my mind then. I was reading an article in the paper that where they said, "The earthquake must be finished; the birds are flying back."
About three days before the great earthquake came... (As you read in your paper.) Why, all India isn't like this country. It's got... Their fences are not woven wire as we have, and their buildings are mostly all built out of rocks they can pick up on the fields; their fences are built out of rock. And the little birds go back into these rocks and make their nests. And the cattle in the afternoon like this, they stand in the shade of those walls.

L-16 Well, they noticed that about two days before the earthquake appeared, all the little birds left the rocks--left their nests, their homes--and went out into the fields, lived in the trees. The cattle and sheep wouldn't stand around the wall no more; they stood out in the middle of the field, leaning against one another. And the earthquake came and shook the walls down. If the little fellows would've been there, they'd been crushed; the cattle would been killed; the sheep would been killed.
Now, if the God that led the animal life into the ark is still the same God, by instinct He led them away from danger, away from them walls which was falling. Well, if--if a bird, and a sheep, and a cow, and the animal life can have instinct enough to be led away from danger, how much more ought the Church of God to flee away from the walls of the things of the world now, when it's just about ready to crumble. Get out friends; stand for Christ; believe in Christ.
