<TITLE>10. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 But the... He receives the true seal. And the Seal of God is the Holy Spirit. Now, we're down to begin where we ended off last night on Ezekiel the 9th chapter. How many read it? Did you get great joy out? Read it now. There's where the prophet foresaw Pentecost and told what would take place. He seen six men come from the higher gate. And they had slaughtering weapons. Remember, did you notice it was designated only to Jerusalem, just to Jerusalem, 'cause there's where the Jews... God deals with Gentiles as individuals. But Israel is a nation, God's nation. Yes.
A missionary stood in my church. I hear Brother Fred Sothmann once in a while, say "Amen" in there somewhere. He's out in the audience. Anyhow, some of the brethren from out at the Tabernacle, a Jewish brother, been trying to get into Israel all along, trying to do something for the Jews, to... Say, he wanted to win them to the Lord. And he come to the Tabernacle the other morning, he raised up when the anointing was on, he said, "Brother Branham, like to ask you a question. How will I ever get into Jerusalem? I've tried every way."
I said, "I wouldn't know what to tell you." About that time the Holy Spirit moved and said, "It's not so, because Israel will be born in one day." Always. Oh, we're near. Oh, we're going to get to that in a few minutes now, the Lord willing.

L-33 And we find out that before the slaughter went forth... Listen now; don't miss it. Before the slaughter went forth, He seen a man come forth dressed in white. What does white represent? Righteousness of saints. Now, and had a--a writer's inkhorn at His side. He went through the city first of Jerusalem and set a seal upon those who sighed and cried for the abominations that was did in the city. That right, you Bible readers? And then when the slaughter went forth, it said, "Don't spare, old, young, children, babies, whatever it is. Utterly destroy everything that doesn't have this mark." See? Was nothing left. They either received the seal or they did not have the seal.
That's the reason in this day that we're coming in--we're coming right to it in a minute here in the New Testament, that they'll--the Seal of God is the Holy Ghost, and outside of that is for the slaughter. [Brother Branham clears his throat--Ed.] Pardon me. Be lost.

L-34 Now, we've took last night Josephus' writings and so forth, as I referred to, and many of the other ancient historians. Josephus walk--probably wrote of the very days and lived near the time that Jesus of Nazareth walked on the earth. Now, and he spoke of it, that those people that... He referred to them, I believe, as cannibals, that was eating the body of Jesus of Nazareth. 'Course it was communion they were taking. He didn't know; he's just a unconverted mind; he was just a historian. But he...
They slipped away from Jerusalem when they seen that thing begin to come to pass, and got away, and went up into Judaea, and--and well away from it. But the Jews, the great organizations all swung together, and come back, said, "We'll go into the house of the Lord. Jehovah's our protection. And we've lived in this. God built this house. Jehovah did this, and Solomon dedicated the temple; this is a very holy place."
