<TITLE>21. Par -</TITLE>L-31-1 Israel, as we, thought because they were prospering with their alliance with others, that was God's okay upon it. Now, you know, we think that today. I talked to some men here not long ago in a hotel a few days ago, big men in the religious realms. And they said to me, "God proves that He's with us. Why, we growed last year, Brother Branham (I forget how many), hundreds," like that.
I said, "That's not one bit of approval." That's right. Prostitution incre--increased last year about thirty percent. Does that show God was with prostitution? That argument's no good. No, you can't do it. No, sir. God stands with His Word. Any other man will stand with His Word, if he's honest. All right.

L-31-3 They thought because they had an alliance... Now, here we'll get in just a moment on the governmental affairs. Our nation has turned down the Word of God just like Israel did. They turned down the Word of God, and their people, their priests, and prophets, and so forth are prophesying good to them, and they... What can we do but prophesy wrong, because it's contrary to the Word. She's doomed, our great, beloved nation based upon the--our--experience of our forefathers, then get back to what they had. That's right.

L-31-4 Sure, Israel was a great nation. Look at their forefathers, but God didn't spare them. That old baldheaded prophet was throwing the Word to them, and it happened just exactly the way he said. Read your history here and find out if it's not right. It come to pass just exactly the way he said it.
And he condemned them, and yet them standing there, them holy priests with holy garments on, sprinkling this, and wouldn't move a hand this way or that way, because it was something this way, or tradition, or something. Jesus said, "You're of your father, the devil, and his works you'll do."
And they took Him, and condemned Him, and hung Him on a tree, and killed Him. That's exactly right. God raised Him up again. Yes, sir.

L-31-7 No, they would not--we would not believe Amos today, not at all. And today we have made an alliance. We got what we call today... We think it's God's okay because the--our organizations are increasing and--and everything's going the way it is; we think that's God's okay upon it. You know, they joined up, I believe, about two or three more million Protestants; and Catholic has went several million more. See? They think that's God's approval by them being Catholic. Protestant thinks it's God's approval them being Protestants. Ha. It's nonsense; it's cannon fodder; it's atomic ashes; it's the wrath of God being built up to explode. That's exactly right.

L-32-1 You listen to me; I'll tell you the Word of the Lord. Amen. Look at us. Look at the world to--look at our nation. We're joined in with the U.N. What's in it? A bunch of ungodly. And we with the audacity not even to let prayer being offered before our sessions come in. Did I just not read here, "How can two walk unless they be agreed?" God doeth nothing unless He reveals it to His servants the prophets. How can two walk 'less they be agreed, when we got Mohammedan, Buddha, atheists, ungodly, selfish, everything else in it. You think a--you think God could dwell in something like that?
"Well," you say that, "well, we're in alliance with them. We got all the western protection."
They had all the nations around them in protection, but that prophet said, "God will destroy you; the very God that you serve will destroy you for your foolishness." He'd say the same thing this morning.
