<TITLE>28. Par 237-241</TITLE>L-237 Now, if God had recompense--or respects to a fundamental, these high schools, and great seminaries, and college, and Ph.D.'s and D.L.D.'s and, oh, all kinds of D.D.'s... Well, what if He had respect to that, well, then, you could... He'd had to have respect to them. See? But He respected and had already blessed these people with a blessing, because the Spirit, the King... They said, "There was a shout of the King in the camp." Oh, what? What? "The King of saints." Screams and joy, what of? Another Kingdom.
I'll prove to you they were not denominationals. You want me to do that? I think I put down a Scripture here for that. Yes, sir. Let me prove to you that Israel was not... Let's turn back to Numbers, just that so that you'll see that they wasn't. They... Now, Moab was a great denomination. We're going to get Numbers 23:9; I'll get the--the 8th verse with it.
And how shall I--how shall I curse, said Balaam, whom God has not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the Lord has not defied? (Uh-huh.)
Now, listen what--what He said.
For--for from the top of the rocks I seen him,... (That's God. Not from down in the valley, but from the top of the rocks. Oh, His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.)... from the top of the rocks I seen him,... (Amen. Not from some... back behind some valley so you can see their back part of them; "I saw the whole thing," God said.)... from the top of the rocks I seen him, and from the hills I beheld him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. (Hallelujah.)
That settle it? They were not a denomination: "nations." Oh, they were wanderers in tents, alleys, down on the street corners, the little mission. Get behind the rent, they kick them out; God's wanting them to go somewhere else (See?), wanderers. That's right.

L-241 Over in Jamaica, not long ago, there was a fine Pentecostal doctor of divinity standing there. And I said, "Oh, how the Lord blessed the early Pentecostal church: they had nothing." I said, "They were just wanderers about."
He said, "Uh, Brother Branham?"
I said, "Yes, brother." (Loving fine brother)
And he said, "I--I just wanted to show you where you're wrong."
I said, "Oh, I'm so glad of that. I--I always want to know where I'm wrong, 'cause God knows that I--I don't want to be wrong." I said, "Well, if I'm wrong, I sure want to know it, brother. Thank you."
He said, "You keep praising those Pentecostal peoples."
I said, "Yep."
He said, "They made the terriblest mistake they ever made when they sold their property." Said, "When the persecution arose, they didn't even have a home to go to. They didn't have no place to go, and they wandered about."
I said, "Just exactly the will of God."
He said, "Why?"
I said, "If they'd have had a home they'd have went back, but they had to go from here to there, spreading the news, everywhere, that the Holy Ghost had come."
Don't tell me that God makes a mistake. He never makes a mistake. He knows how to do it. They sold their properties and become vagabonds, spreading the news everywhere; and said the news was spread to all the whole known world then by them wanderers who give up everything to have the Holy Ghost. The people did not belong to a denomination. See?
