<TITLE>15. Par 133-145</TITLE>L-133 Well, now, for instance, my son wanted... Billy, back there, wanted to take my--come buy this ground. Well, then, if the alien, or Brother Neville, or--or some other person owned it, was holding the deed to it... Now, if this was my next kinsman, was my blood relation, he could not hold it any longer. No, sir. He had to give it over (Yes, sir.) when that price was paid.
When he gave him, say, twenty-five thousand dollars for the piece of property. Well, then, say, Brother Tony would come over and say, "Brother Neville, I'll buy Brother Branham's property." He couldn't do it.
Brother Neville would say, "No, sir, I don't want to sell it."
"Well, what'd you give for it?"
"Twenty-five thousand."
"Well, I'll--I'll give you thirty-five thousand. I'll give you so-and-so."
"I don't care what you want. I don't want to sell it; I'll keep it."
But Billy Paul could come along and say, "I want my daddy's possession, here's your twenty-five thousand." He had to let it go (That's right.) 'cause that was a law.
Oh, hallelujah. I hope you Christians see it. We are the salt of the earth. God gave this to His sons. He gave us the jurisdiction over all nature, all animals, all life everywhere. But Adam, our father, forfeited it to Satan. But where does it fall back to? The rightful Owner, God Who made it. Amen.

L-139 No wonder John said he wept bitterly, for he could find no man who was worthy to redeem it. The man must be worthy. John said, "I wept bitterly when no one was able to take the Book or to look on It or loose the seals thereof." He said, "Why, no man in heaven, no man in earth, no man beneath the earth, no man everywhere... No man..."
Now, he never disregarded Angels. Remember, this earth wasn't given to Angels. It's the inheritance of men. Gabriel was worthy, sure; somebody else was worthy; Michael might've been, not as... He might've been worthy to do it, but there was no man worthy. See? And John wept loud.
Someone said, "Because he found himself not worthy." That isn't so. The man was under the influence of the Holy Ghost; he couldn't make an error like that. But he--he was... He--he was--he was... It wasn't him not only worthy; he could find nobody worthy.

L-143 So just then he said, an elder came forth or a strong Angel, said, "Weep not, for the Lion of the tribe of Juda (Amen.), the Root of David, He has prevailed," (Amen.) conquered, in other words. "And He's worthy to take the Book." Amen.
Remember, he hadn't seen Him up to this time. Why? He was setted on--seated on a throne in there, God's throne. He was on the inside of the sanctuary. He hadn't seen Him till this time, so John was expecting to see a--a Lion come forth, but he saw a Lamb.

L-145 There you are, brothers. Through meekness, through sweetness, through the Holy Spirit that we conquer, not some great mighty intellectual giant, but he that can humble himself is the man who conquers. The man who can be kicked around and still be a servant of Christ, that's the conqueror.
Now, he said, "He has prevailed. He's worthy to take the Book and to open It and to loose the seals thereof."
Now, we're going to find out after-while, maybe not in today, but what these seven seals hold, what they did.
