<TITLE>05. Par 16-19</TITLE>L-16 Now, I've got that written by the chief man of the city of Kuopio, Finland, in my study today. That's right. And in there written, and then translated on the other side, of what it was. Said, "Brother Branham, we're poor in Finland. We can't offer you. Only thing we got is paper. So here's a book of Kuopio and a comment from me." And it's got their seal on it like that, when he wrote the testimony himself.
Someone wrote to me from Finland here not long ago. Said, "That was false." And he was going to write a book on it; it was false.
And I said, "Go right ahead, just write the book. Then I'm going to publish this testimony of the mayor of the city behind it. So now, you just go ahead and write me what you want to."

L-17 (Have we got just a moment or two longer for something? I want to finish that up.) That night when we left Finland, that... We was going into the place; there was so many there; they had to have guards on the street. And I... Going into the room, there... I was walking along; there was about six or seven soldiers around me. Them poor little Finns, not old enough to shave yet, all the other grown men had been killed off nearly by the Russians. And so, they were taking me...
And when you are born in Russia, if you're forty miles from your birthplace, you have to have a visa. But don't let nobody ever tell you there's no Christians in Russia; there's millions of them. And there was those Russian soldiers that... They can't broadcast stuff like we have, rock-and-roll and all that stuff, over there on; nothing but business and commercial on--on radio. And here, they'd had went all over Russia. I'd...

L-18 Baron Von Bomburg told me not long ago (a little fellow they'd brought up behind the Iron Curtain) said, "I'm surprised, Brother Branham, that your ministry's no better known in America then what it is." It's known better in Russia then it is here, where it had been behind the Iron Curtain. Said, "We all heard on--on the radio of that little boy being raised from the dead up there." And now, this... Them Russian soldiers standing on the street, give that Russian salute when I passed by. And they said... An interpreter telling as we going by, said they said, "We'll receive a God like this." Certainly.

L-19 See? What it is, is the weakness of the church raised up Communism; it's bred from that kind of an egg. If the church taken all the money there is in a country and building million dollar gold altars, and people starving on the street? You can see why such things as that would come up. But let any human being see the real thing of God, he will believe it, if he's got anything he can believe with.
So he was standing there, and he said, "We'll receive a God like, that that can raise the dead. We want to know about that."
And I'll tell you; while I'm on this subject, I might say this: I seen Russian soldiers grab Finns around their waist in there on the inside of the building, and hug and pat one another--like the Scandinavian people do--hug and pat one another. Anything that'll make a Russian put his arm around a Finn, and a Finn around a Russian, would settle wars forever. We don't need U.N.'s; we need Jesus Christ. That's what the world needs. See?
