<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>61-0217, The Mark Of The Beast And The Seal Of God #2, First Assembly Of God Of Long Beach, Long Beach, CA, 98 min
L-1 Let's just remain standing a moment while we bow our heads for prayer. I wonder, while we have our heads bowed, if there would be any in here would like to be remembered in prayer, just let it be known as you lift your hand, say, "God, be merciful to me; I have a need tonight, greatly."

L-2 Our heavenly Father, we approach Thy throne, Thy great throne of mercy in the Name of the Lord Jesus our Saviour. We approach that way because He told us to come thus and we would receive what we ask for. And we're so glad to know that we can rest in our hearts upon that assurance, that what You say You're able to perform. For tonight we feel that we are, by faith, Abraham's seed, and anything contrary to God's Word we act as though it was not. Because God has said truth, and we believe He has the truth. And He is truth.
Now, we pray for those who raised their hands, each hand, Lord. You know what they had need of. You know what was in the heart, the very thought of their mind when they raised their hand. I pray that You'll strike out their sins, strike out their sickness. Give to them the desire of their heart, Lord. And may they live long happy lives here, if possible, to see the coming of the Lord the second time.
We pray that You'll bless the Word tonight as we fellowship around it, speaking tonight on that great tremendous thing that's right at our door, now going on in our cities, and around the world. We pray that You'll give us of Thy Word, Thy unction, Lord, that we might know just how to speak as the oracles of God. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-3 It's one grand and glorious thing to come to the house of the Lord. And we've been so enjoying this meeting here in the church with our Brother Buntane and the associated ministers in--in this great fellowship we've been having. And all the peoples, all the laity, and from the different churches, every creed, race, and kind... Coming down the platform tonight I just happened to meet some of my friends. I met Brother Allcot here. The first time I'd seen him in years. I remember the first time when I was in Edmonton, Canada. I believe you were up there with us during that meeting. A brother from--Hollander, over here, nice to see him. And the different ones along the way...
And I know each one of you. I'd like to have time to shake your hand and go home and see how... I know your wife's the best cook there is in the country; I just know that. So I believe it. And so I'd like to go home with you, but... I believe I've said something like that about fourteen years ago in Canada. But I--I'm expecting to do that one of these days over in the great millennium, where we can just have plenty of time, don't have to hurry up. Kids ain't going to get hurt, there ain't no... Nothing going to harm anything.

L-4 And I was thinking about going down... I--I love mountains. And I think about during the millennium, I'd just like to spend a few million years just roaming around over the mountains, just looking around. I--I like that. I--I think about run into a sister out there in the mountains. Maybe she's been there for a million years, walking along this--how a lady will, you know, with like with a puppy or something, but she'd be walking along with a big tiger or something. I'd say, "How you do, sister?"
Why, she'd say, "You're Brother Branham, yeah, how do you do? Sure glad to see you."
"How long would you think," now if you was counting time, "that you'd be out here," if such a thing as time.
"Oh, a few million years or so. Took a little stroll." Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful? And it's not just some kind of a mythical dream; it's the truth. It's true; it's really true. We're going somewhere, be somebody when we get there. I--I like that.
