<TITLE>03. Par 12-19</TITLE>L-12 Thank you for putting the board up a little higher. That looks better.
Now, oh, we... I wish we had it just all winter, so we could just take the full Book of Revelations and just go right through It. It's such a beautiful teachings in there. And I remember, I guess it's been twenty years ago, or twenty five, when the church was yet new; we started one--early one fall, and was way almost to the next fall, getting through the Book of Revelations.
I remember taking the Book of Job. Oh, Brother Wright, I stayed on it so long till finally a woman wrote and asked me; she said, "Brother Branham, ain't you going to never get Job off that ash heap?" Well, I was trying to make a point, 'cause right there's where everything bottled up to that place; up to the spot to where there's where the Spirit of the Lord came on him. Then when the lightning begin to flash and the thunders roar, the Spirit come upon the prophet, and he seen the coming of the Lord. And I wanted to drive that home; that's the reason I held him on the ash heap for a long time, so--so we could make the point. And I knowed it may get a little tiresome, some. I get nervous too, and I hear someone playing around on something, look like he'd go ahead and hit it. But maybe God's leading that person for a purpose for that.

L-15 Now, back to this remnant, before we leave the question. I hope I get it clear, this... I truly believe that the remnant is chosen by God. I--I believe it, that God chose the remnant before the foundation of the world, and has by His foreknowledge... Not the word... Now, watch the predestinate (See?), 'cause it's a stingy little word amongst the people. See? But God, before the foundation of the world, in His great infinite mind, chose the church, chose Jesus, chose the church, and could predict at the beginning what it would be at the end. He...
If He's infinite, there's nothing what He did not know. He knowed every flea would ever be on earth and how many times it'd bat its eyes. Now, that's just how... And how much tallow it would make, and how much all of them would make together... That's infinite; it's infinity; you--you... Just no way to explain It... And God, that's what He is, the infinite God.

L-16 So if you notice, the Bible said that in the last days that the antichrist that would come upon the earth...
Now, listen close. That's the only flaw... I guess he could find millions in mine. But on our precious Brother Billy Graham, the other day, that notable sermon he preached last Sunday, and I certainly did think it was a timely message. And... But he said that "Satan is even deceiving the elected."
No, the Bible said he would deceive the elected if it was possible. But it isn't possible, because God chose them before the foundation of the world. See? The Lamb... Jesus Christ was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. When God even puts in His mind, when He speaks that Word, It can never change, It can never alter. See, because He--He--He's infinite, and His Words will come to pass.

L-19 Just think, the very... The earth that we're setting on tonight is the Word of God made manifest. The world was framed together by things which does not even appear. He just said, "Let there be," and it was. How easy it is for that God to heal a sick body then, if He can build a creation by just speaking it. See, His Word, if we could only get faith to see what His Word is. We are so earthbound and so conglomerated in our minds that we... Oh, I don't know. We've had so many indocumations, a shot from this one, a shot from that one, and--and it's just got us to a place he all twisted up. But if you could ever shake the whole thing loose, come back to know that He is God, and His Words can no more fail than He can fail... And if that Word fails, then God fails; and if God fails, or... He isn't God. See? So... And remember, He can't say one thing here and something else over here; He's got to stay with His first decision in order to be God. So we just...
