<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>61-0212M, Jehovah-Jireh, First Assembly Of God Of Long Beach, Long Beach, CA, 57 min
L-1 Said, "He reached over and took a hold of his hand and said, "Luke, we've come a long ways together, haven't we?" Said, "Yes, we have, Paul." Said, "Think of it, in five minutes from now, I'll be standing in the Presence of Jesus Christ, clothed in His righteousness," squeezed his brother's hand and died.
Oh, that's the way; that's it.
I stood with Doctor Bosworth when he went out. And I heard of Moody's testimony when he went out. And we got to go out too. I've held them in my arms and feel them dying and cool off, and stretch out again, screaming for mercy and asking for help. I've seen them say, "Lay me back on your breast, Brother Branham," raise up their hands and sing.
Happy day, happy day,
Since Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray.

L-2 I remember a little friend of mine; I told him, said, "Can't you see Him?" "Brother Branham, there He comes." He said, "Well, farewell to you, brother, till it hits you on the other shore." Raised out his hands, said, "I'll see you on the other shore." He said, "Oh, Lord Jesus." And he bowed his head and fell over on my lap. See? That's the way to go (See?), that's right. He was a godly sainted boy.
And... it... I believe there's one time written in the Scripture, that David, I believe, said he'd seen the wicked in power and spreading forth like a green bay tree, just prospering and doing everything. But the Lord told David, "But did you ever behold him at the end?" That's where it counts is at the end, not what's here, it's what the end. And that's why I'm trying with all my heart, to let--point people down to the end.

L-3 Now, before I'm going to finish this message this morning, the Lord willing. But here's the reason I have to drive at that, if you can't catch it spiritually...
Say, you that wrote me a letter, out there about Ezekiel 33:33, you're on the nail head, but hold your peace.
Now, as... as going... Ern Baxter told me; he said that up in Canada they were having a--a contest for this new Schwinn--Schwinn bicycle. Was going to give a contest who could ride, for I believe a hundred yards of board, fourteen or sixteen inches square, without falling off of a two foot, three foot ramp, go right down that ramp; who could ride closest to the end that would be the winner of the bicycle. Well, Ern said he knew he was going to win it. Said because he could go downtown, get groceries for his mother and never even touch the handlebars. Said just go down... You know how you ride a bicycle. Said, "They was just expert riders."

L-4 Said, "When they all got up there that day to ride," he said... they had a little old sissy boy; he seemed to be kind of a little frail like fellow, and he was the only one that rode it. He rode it right straight out to the end, got off his bicycle; and every one of them fell off before they got any piece at all. So all of them got around, the boys got around him and said, "Why did you do it? How did you did you do it?
He said, "Now, fellows, I'm going to tell you what--what it was." He said, "I noticed each one of you, where you made your mistake." And said, "I prospered by your mistake." Said, "When you got on your bicycle and they shoved you off," said, "I noticed you like this, trying to keep it on the board." He said, "See, when you look down like this, you get nervous." He said, "When they shoved me, I kept my eye on the end and kept steady."
