<TITLE>39. Par -</TITLE>L-571-Q-123  123. Brother Branham, we know that you are a messenger sent from God to this church age. The very same signs that followed Jesus we see following you, and we are--understand why some who know you best think you are Messiah. Would you explain the difference in your relationship to God and that of Christ's?
Well, I know, brethren, that is true. See, but let's wait, I got something wrote down on that here, just for a minute. See, many times it's misunderstood. See? But now, in the person sometime... And I want some of you to turn with me to Luke the 3rd chapter and the 15th verse. While you're doing that, I might be saying to you when you get it, that it's... Luke 3, it's... might... it's in... Let me just... I ain't going to shut the door, 'cause there's nobody there. Let--let me just get this to you, brethren. You have heard it; it's all around. But let's let me tell you (See?); it has to come that way. It's got to come that way. If it wasn't that way, I would repent of my message.

L-571-384 Listen, brethren, I adjure you before Christ that you--you--you hold this part of your peace, but if you were spiritual you'd understand. See? Don't you know what the very first thing He said down there on the river? Don't you remember what He said? "As John the Baptist was sent forth to forerun the first coming of Christ, your message..." It's the message that will forerun the second coming of Christ. That's what the Angel of the Lord said.
Now, now notice. Now, "As John the Baptist..." Now, all of you has heard that. You've read it in books, and heard people that standing there hearing It, and everything else, when that Angel Itself spoke that message, "As John the Baptist was sent forth to forerun the first coming of Christ, you're sent with this message, will forerun the second coming of Christ." Now, "the message."

L-572-386 Now, if you'll notice, and I... Little Willie out there put my name under that star out there, and that's the reason I passed it over (You see?), 'cause I--I don't think... Now, I'm going to be honest as I can be. I don't think I'd have anything to do with that messenger. See? That's right. I believe that I'm maybe being sent for a part, this church, to help build that message up to a place to where it would when this forerunner comes, that he will come.
But I believe, me being what I am, I am... I believe that I have the message of the day. I believe that this is the Light of the day, and I believe it's pointing to that time coming. You see? I believe that the Message that he said down there, "the message that you have." Now, if you noticed that Star that rose back there, was a...

L-572-388 Let me make it... I know I'm--I'm pinching my time here, and I got these others, such fine questions. I don't want... It's--it's after ten now, so--and I know you're wanting to go home. See? But listen here. Let me show you something. Will you give me just a--just a few moments extra? All right, all right.
Now, look, now let me say something. Now, you brethren keep this among yourself. See? Now, keep this among yourself. I got to get you straight on this because you're my pastor... You're my pastors and things (You see?), and I--I got to do this. And you're brothers with me working in this message. See?
