<TITLE>32. Par 368-380</TITLE>L-368 Watch what the Scripture says here in closing. Oh.
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,... (Now, He's talking about the second coming, not the rapture.)... and they also which pierced him:...
The 7th chapter, the 1st verse... Or the 7th verse of the 1st chapter:
... every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all the kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so. Amen.
Then He gives that great--great quotation. Who is this? Who is this they're going to look for?
I am Alpha and Omega,... ("I'm A and Z," the Greek A and Z, Greek alphabet)

L-371 Acts 2:36, the Bi... Peter said, "There's not another name given under heaven whereby a man must be saved." (Or no, I beg your pardon, misquoting it.) He said, "Let all the house of Israel know surely, that God has made this same Jesus, Who you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
John 14:7 and 12, Thomas said, "Lord, show us the Father and it satisfy us."
Said, "I been so long with you, and you don't know Me?" Said, "He that seen Me has seen the Father. Why sayest thou, 'Show Me the Father'? I and My Father are One.
I said that one time to a person. The lady said, "Just a minute, Mr. Branham." Said, "You and your wife are one too."
I said, "But not that kind."
She said, "I beg your pardon."
I said, "Do you see me?"
She said, "I do."
I said, "Do you see my wife?"
She said, "No."
I said, "Then they're a different kind. He said, 'When you seen Me, you have seen the Father.'" So--so that was enough for that.

L-376 So in Saint John, or I John 5:7 to 8, you all that's putting it down. I John 5:7 to 8, the Bible said, the speaker, the very same man that wrote this revelation that Jesus give him. He said: "There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (The Word is the Son.), the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. There are three that bear record in earth: water, blood, and spirit: and they agree( not are one, but they agree) in one."
You cannot have the Father without having the Son. You cannot have Father or Son without having the Holy Ghost. Right. But you... And water, blood, and spirit, that's the elements it takes to get into His body.
When the natural birth takes place, what's the first thing happens when a woman's giving birth to baby? First thing is water; second thing is blood (That right?); next thing is spirit: the baby catches his breath and start breathing.
Water, blood, and spirit; that constitutes the natural birth, also the spiritual birth. Water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, justification by faith, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; water. What's the next? Blood; sanctification, cleaning up, getting around.

L-380 There's where you Nazarene people failed. You just went that far and didn't go no farther. The vessel is sanctified on the altar, ready for service, but not in service. "Blessed are they (beatitudes) that are hungering and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." The vessel is sanctified. That's true. That's like the virgin. The word "virgin" means "pure, holy, unadulterated, sanctified." Five had oil and five did not; five was filled and the other one just remained in sanctification. Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed, you Baptists, Presbyterians?
"We not know whether there be any Holy Ghost."
"Then how was you baptized?"
After he'd laid his hands upon them, they were then, after being saved and sanctified, they were filled with the Holy Ghost. Right.
