<TITLE>25. Par 103-107</TITLE>L-103 And the other trees: the Baptists "million more in '44," a Billy Graham just slaughtering it from side to side, "All of you come join, come join, come join." The Pentecostals another thing--oneness, twoness, threeness, Assemblies, everything else, "Come and join, come and join, come and join."
O God. Where is the things that God promised? Where is it? Where is them Scriptural things that God spoke of would happen in the last days? Where are they at? We got nothing but a big bunch of cold, formal organizations. The revival's swept in thousands in each one of them. But where is that Bride of Christ standing in purity? All of our women bobbing their hairs off, and wearing all kind of clothes; and preachers and things not saying a word about it, and--and going out and getting formal and indifferent. And the Gospel has become a meal ticket, like it is with the rest of these social Gospel preachers.

L-104 What we need is a man of God who will stand out on the Word of God, and preach it regardless, and stand there with the signs and wonders of God's Bible. That's exactly right. Amen. Exactly right. Afraid to call black black, and white white: wishbone instead of a backbone. It's a shame. Modern, independent, oh, my... And then... My, I better shut up.
Listen, let me tell you, brother, the signs are all around you. Don't you worry, you little bride. God's coming; don't you worry. Everything's right on time. This has got to happen like this. The Word says so. Listen. Watch.

L-105 Now, Jesus promised that this wicked and adulterous generation, Matthew 12:24... Jesus promised that this wicked and adulterous generation would get a sign. They come to Him and said, "Master, we would seek a sign from thee," right after He'd been healing the sick, and doing the things He'd done. Said, "We'd seek a sign from thee." He said, "A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to that wicked and adulterous generation..."
How many knows that immorality is on the move greater than it ever was? How many knows that wickedness is unbelief? More unbelief and adultery than we ever had: homosexuals, everything else. Is that right?
Perversion... I--I must... I--I got to say it. Our Pentecostal women, skinning themselves in little old dirty-looking dresses like a skinned-down weenie, walking out here on the street immorally... Did you know you're going to answer for committing adultery, them men looking upon you, and you putting your kids out like that? What's the matter?

L-106 Why, well someone said not long ago, said. "Brother Branham, people call--call you a prophet."
I said, "I'm no prophet."
Said, "Well, the people call you that. Why don't you teach them great things: how to receive the gifts of God, instead of talking to women about wearing short hair, and--and wearing things the way they do, and makeup and stuff the way they do, and things like that?"
I said, "How am I going to teach them algebra if they won't learn their ABC's?" They won't come out of kindergarten: the common decency to line up with the Word of God. That's exactly right. How you going to do that? You can't do it.

L-107 Why? Just those God called is the ones will hear it. "My sheep hear my voice." That's right. They know the voice of God. It speaks from the Word. The Word is what does it.
Now. He said that generation (and this is it) would receive a sign. What kind of a sign? "As Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days, the Son of man shall be in the heart of the earth."
Is that right? What kind of a sign would they receive? A resurrection sign. Jesus is not dead; He's alive. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right? A wicked and adulterous generation would receive the sign of the resurrection. Amen. They would try to discourage it. They did. They did for Him. Matthew... If you want to put that down, Matthew 13:24. They were very dismayed at it.
