<TITLE>08. Par 32-36</TITLE>L-32 So then I said, "But I speak, I'm just a man. But the commission, God will vindicate that." And no more than I said that, here He come, circling down like that. People begin fainting, screaming, and everything. They taken the picture of it. Mr. Ayers, the one that taken it was a Catholic. Seems strange, but he was working with a man, Jew, by the name of Kipperman. And when they seen, he took one over there, and put the acids in, and tested, brought out the negatives. And every one of them pictures with Mr. Best shaking his fist under that saintly old man's nose; every one of them was blank, didn't take at all. God would not permit them to be taken. But when they shot the picture, there was the Angel of the Lord standing there.

L-33 They took it before, to send it here to Washington, DC, and copyright it, brought it back, and called George J. Lacy. He's the head of the FBI on fingerprint and documents. And they took it and examined it for about five days. And we met in the Houston Shell building there. And they...
And so they said, "Whose name is Branham?"
And I told him, "Mine." and stood up.
Said, "You are going to pass out of life like all men."
I said, "I'm... I know that."
But said, "As long as there's a Christian civilization, this picture will never die." He said, "It's been said by the old hypocrite," he meant the unbeliever, he said, "that a supernatural could never be scientifically proven." He said, "Mr. Branham, I said it was psychology, that you were reading people's minds." He said, "But Mr. Branham, the mechanical eye of that camera won't take psychology. The light struck the lens." That's right. And so it's been done many many times since then.

L-34 What's the nature of it? It's Jesus. Look. How many believes that Jesus Christ was the Angel of the Covenant, that Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel? If you believe the Bible, He said, "I am the I AM." So that... He was the I AM.
Now, watch. He was on earth, and He said, "I came from God, and I return to God." Is that right? "I come from God; I go to God." After His death, burial, and resurrection...
Now, watch what that Light did when It was in Jesus, the sign, how He looked out, and perceived their thoughts, and told them who they were, and what... so forth, proving He was the Messiah. Now, when that... After His death, burial, and resurrection, He returned back to God the Father.

L-35 And Paul, on his road down to Damascus, a great big Light flashed out and blinded him. Is that right? And He said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
He said, "Who are You, Lord?"
He said, "I'm Jesus." Is that right? He went to God: come from God and went to God.
Peter, in the prison that night, that Light came in the prison, opened the doors before him: the Angel of the Lord. And that's always Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, of course.
And now today, if It's returned back for the first time in all of the history of photography, and it was taken... Germany asked if they could take it.

L-36 I said, "Perhaps so." Many of you all perhaps have seen that come across, where Germany had set up the big camera, and took the picture, coming down when It was anointing. What It was telling the fellow, I was talking to him. And then when It went back away... They took It in California here a few weeks ago, the most outstanding one you ever seen. What is it? It proves that that same God is with His church today, dwelling among us, bringing forth the same life that was in Christ is in the church. Amen. I could get on... off my sermon now, don't I?
Jehovah-jireh. Let's take this. This was given to Abraham. And I'll kinda hit the high spots of it so we can be out of here by four o'clock, if possible now. And now, I want you to listen close. Give me your undivided attention.
