<TITLE>12. Par 41-43</TITLE>L-41 The uncertain sound, you can't... You say, "Well, we going to get in a hole and dig in the ground for national security." Try it one time, see what happens.
"I got a job, brother; I got a promise." Just let them change bosses once.
Home life is uncertain. A man can marry a nice little woman. Get her, back out of the country here, where she's not polluted, take her into a home and set a television in there, and the first thing you know, you come home, she's acting like some of these movie stars. Uncertainty in home life. Let her kids run out on the street with dirty faces, and out in the street playing. And hold a little snotty nosed dog in her arm and give it a child's love; pack a little old dog around in a car, and practice birth control. Shame on American women. That's horrible to say that. I don't know, but this is one time you're going to hear it anyhow-- if you'll just set still and don't keep--keep going out. (One can just hold so much, and then they'd have to explode and run, but--but... ) But listen. That's true. It's the truth. Somebody's got to cry out against that thing.

L-42 And there's many a fine preacher brethren, standing in the pulpit, that knows that's the truth. But what is their pulpit? It's a meal ticket to them. I'd rather lay on my belly, and drink branch water, and eat soda crackers, preach the truth, than to have fried chicken three times a day and have to compromise with God's Word. Tell the truth, 'cause you've got to answer for it at the day of the judgment.
Certainly, there's a uncertainty--uncertainty. Oh, we find... Then you say, "Brother Branham, you're putting us on a limb out here." That's right, so that you'll know where you're at.
You say then, "Brother Branham, is there anything that has a certain sound?" Yes, sir. There is one thing that has a perfect, certain sound. What is it? It's the Word of God. It's a certain sound: it's perfect. It's an eternal sound.
"Are you sure of that?"
Jesus Christ said in Matthew, 24th chapter, the 35th verse, He said, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall not pass away."
 My hopes is built on nothing less
 Than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
 When all around my soul gives way
 Then He's all my hope and stay.
 For on Christ, that solid Rock, I stand;
 All other grounds is sinking sand,
 All other grounds is sinking sand.

L-43 Now, the Word of God, His promises, they're true. Now, there's only one thing to approach anything. Like Israel--Israel was a perfect type of this nation. Israel was a God-fearing people that was in bondage to an--to the Egyptians. And they left that land of bondage, took a pilgrimage. (Listen now. Don't you fail to get this. May God open your understanding.) They left their land of pilgrimage, and come to their promised land, and drove back the occupants, and inhabited the land. Is that right?
We did the same thing. We were under Catholicism and bondage of... And we wanted to be a God-fearing people that loved God and had freedom of religion, and we came to this nation, and drove back the occupants, and possessed the land.
As long as--when Israel started out they had God-fearing leaders: David, Solomon. They brought a respect; why, Israel was known all over the world, all the nations, and they all respected them. That showed what God could do with a bunch of men and women that feared Him and lived godly before Him.
