<TITLE>11. Par 29-31</TITLE>L-29 Like over in India when you had the earthquake there, I guess, just the year I come in, it'd be about six years ago. I picked up the paper, the English paper, and it said, "I guess the--the earthquake's over." In India, they don't have fine fences and things like you all have here. They pick up rocks and make fences. The animals stand around there in the shade of the evening. The little birds go in there and build their nests. One day they seen all the little birds flying away, getting away. And all the cattle wouldn't come in and stand around the walls and so forth. They went out in the middle of the field and stood leaning against one another in the sun. They wondered what was the matter. Then a great earthquake shook the place, shook the walls down. What happened? All the little birds, if they'd been in them little coves there, had got killed. The animals had been standing under those big rock fences and walls, it'd fell on them and killed them. What was it? God by instinct, letting them know the earthquake was coming, they fled for safety. If God... The same God that called them into the ark, had called them away from the wall. He's the same God.

L-30 Well then, if God can use a cow and a horse and a sheep and a bird by instinct to flee the wrath that's coming, you'd better get away from these big old walls of Babylon and flee to Jesus Christ, 'cause she's going to crumble and fall one of these days. Remember, there was a Stone cut out of the mountain without hands, come rolling into Babylon and tearing it down wherever it went. And the kingdom of this world will fall just as certain. Every man-made kingdom's got to sink, so the Kingdom of God can take the right of way. Every man-made organization will fall and crumble to the dust, that the power of the Holy Ghost might take the church and rapture it into that place up above. That's right. Yes, sir. They... Everything has served its purpose, but we're at the time, brother, when God is calling His people out. The Stone that was cut out of the mountain without hands is rolling in, crashing down Babylon, moving right on over. Get away from the big walls, friend. Come into Jesus Christ. That's the only Place of safety or refuge I know.

L-31 We see there that Abraham, when he found what God wanted him to do, He blessed him and changed his name, and changed Sarah's name, give them a--a--a sure promise that this was going to happen. Then we find him, I believe it's in the 18th chapter. We find him setting out in the field and somewhere in the desert, hard way.
My. Oh, I don't know why that keeps bubbling up in me. I... Forgive. No don't forgive me. Now, that--that'd be wrong. Why is it, brothers? I stood here not long ago and went to a big bunch of fine Pentecostal men. And I said, "You're giving the wrong testimonies. You're always talking about how God's blessing you, how many big things you got, how many Cadillacs you can own, and all like that. That's a whole lot different from what the first Pentecost was. They sold everything they had, and give it to the poor, and went out preaching the Gospel. There's something wrong somewhere." That's exactly right.
There was a fellow raised up, he said, "And Brother Branham, that was a greatest mistake the people ever made." We was in Jamaica. If anybody's here, Brother Bonamore, I guess remembered. I don't know whether Brother... Yeah, was with me setting out there that night.
I said, "Do you mean to tell me that you think that God makes a mistake? God don't make no mistake. A man that's led by God, they was led by God to do that."
