<TITLE>18. Par 54-57</TITLE>L-54 What did Jesus say? "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." That same thing, God manifested in the flesh of His people, not angels coming down, but men, borned of the Spirit of God, with Eternal Life within their bosom, performing and doing the same thing that Angel did there at Sodom.
"Sirs, we would see Jesus." If He is alive today, and was in this church, He would do the same as He did then. And this is the closing of the Gentile age.
The prophet said, "There'll be a day, that could not be called day or night, but in the evening time it would be Light."

L-55 Now, the sun, geographically rises in the east and sets in the west, the same sun. Now, when the S-o-n rose on the eastern people and showed forth His miraculous powers... We've had a day, it's been a dismal, rainy day. We've had enough Light till we could join church, build our organizations, and have a great time, be Christians, accept Christ. But that sunlight has never poured through since then. But this is...
Civilization has traveled with the sun. The oldest civilization's China. We've come... It's traveled from the east, coming west with the sun. We're at the west coast now. And the Bible said, the prophet said, "It'll be Light in the evening time." That same Son that rose in the east will be shining with His same power on the western people as He did on the east.
"Sir, we would see Jesus." Why can't we? Why can't we when He promised it?
You say, "Brother Branham, that's the Bible, but will It work?"
If It's God's promise it will work, it's got to work. Do you believe that? If He would come into this audience of people tonight, and perform, and do the same thing that He did when He was here then to let Him know--let You know, that He is here, the same Christ, would do the same thing, would you believe on Him? Raise your hands and say, "I would believe, if I would--could see it done."

L-56 Let us bow our heads. Almighty and omnipotent God, we thank Thee, O holy Father, for the promise that You gave us, and we know that Thy promises is true. Now, it is a bad night outside, but a glorious night inside: not a night inside, but a day where the Son of God is shining in our hearts and lives. We thank Thee for believers, and for a Christ Who promised to come to these believers, and manifest Himself, and show in this last day to the Gentile race, which we know, Father, it's never been according to history since the early church died out, until this time.

L-57 How Saint Paul and those in the old days, how that the visions broke upon them, and they done this same thing: Ananias and Sapphira, and Paul upon the sea that night, and the Angel of the Lord stood by him, and he walked out and told the people. And how that the great powers of God was known in that early church. You promised it again in the last days.
I pray, Father, that You'll forgive the mistakes of Your servant. And now, let the Holy Spirit come forth, because It is His Word, and let Him do before these people, after I have told them, Father, that salvation is what has already been done for them at Calvary. Divine healing is what You did for them at Calvary.
And I pray Thee, Lord, that they might understand that; it's their own faith. And when they see the God that made the promise come forth in His power and do as He did then, they will know it's the same Jesus that made the promise. Grant it, Lord, as we commit ourselves to Thee, and this congregation for the Kingdom of God's sake. In Jesus Christ's Name, we ask it. Amen.
