L-1 Thank you very kindly, brother. Good evening, friends. It's a privilege to be back in the house of the Lord on this Saturday afternoon, enjoying the blessings of the Lord.
And I want to say, that we certainly had a wonderful time this morning at that breakfast. I just love... I love love. And that's the... When God is love, and when He projects His love to us, then, oh, how sweet it is. Just to fellowship around the good things of God, so wonderful.
Now, I guess I'm just a little bit noisy for you conservative Canadians. So, you forgive me for my, maybe rude way of coming to the platform and habits that I have. So...
And someone asked me one time, said... We was talking about nationalities, and he said, "Brother Branham, what nationality are you?"
I said, "Irish." And I said, "Well, if the... If an Irishman can be saved, there's hopes for the whole world then, the whole human race has got a chance if an Irishman can be saved."

L-2 So, coming up here with you Norwegians, and Scandinavians, and Germans, and whatmore, it certainly is a wonderful thing to us, to come and fellowship around the blessings of God. And you know, over in the--the big land, we will neither be Norwegian nor Irish, we'll be different then. We'll be changed. I'm so glad.
And since being converted and giving my life to the Lord Jesus some thirty years ago, when I was just a boy... And if I had one regret in my life, the greatest regret that I... I have many of them. But the greatest regret is: that I did not give my life to the Lord Jesus when I were younger. I was perhaps about twenty years old when I made that decision.
But if I'd have did that when I was the age of this little lad setting here, I believe, maybe, I could've won more souls to Him. And if I am turned down at the end of the road, He won't let me in, I'm--I'm going to love Him anyhow. 'Cause I just love Him, because I love Him.

L-3 I asked Brother Mercier to bring up some of the testimony of the vision that the Lord gave me just recently. I want to call it a vision, because I'm a little reluctant on saying something else. Because it would sound like I was trying to impersonate a--a great apostle, Paul, who was caught up into the--the third heaven.
But I was laying on the bed when it happened and had slept well through the night. And I've had many visions, as we know, but this wasn't like any I ever had. But I was always a little afraid of dying. I love people so much till I thought... Not being afraid that I wasn't saved, but I--I did not want to be a spirit. I wanted to be a man all the time, and so when I was... Wherever I was, it wasn't far away, another dimension somewhere.

L-4 And when we leave this body, we are not spirits. "If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting." See? God's got another type of body, where we're just as real as we are right here.
Since then, it's took all the kinks out of my thinking. And now, if it wasn't for my children and the Gospel's sake... Well, I'd say first the Gospel, and then my children and wife, my loved ones here, I'd welcome it at any time. Because there there was no sickness, no sorrow, no--no sin, no nothing. It was perfection.
And oh, how I love to think. And when I was there I thought, "If I could ever go back, I would constrain people to come to there. I would persuade them every way I could to come to that place." Friends, don't miss that. That's--that's the greatest of all. You've missed everything.
You may have been a successful businessman. You may have been a good man or a good woman, boy or girl, but don't miss heaven. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ with all that's in you.
