<TITLE>28. Par -</TITLE>L-734-242 May we prepare now, Lord. What a wonderful time it will be if we'll just prepare to meet You, Father, and prepare our hearts daily. And if we do make a mistake and fall, like this poor soul wrote in this question today, let them know that the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses all sin. That person don't mean to do that, Lord. They're hungering and thirsting, trying to come back up into that fellowship of the Spirit. Bring them up, Lord. Rise them up above this cloudy, dismal world: above, where the Sunshine can shine upon their souls again. They've dropped down below the--the--the great horizon of the--of the clouds and they're down into the muck, down into that sin. But they've once lived up there in the Sunlight. They--they want to go back again, Lord. Take them back tonight, Lord. And if there's some here who has never witnessed being up there, and knows that...
All these here missiles and everything is just exactly in accordance with Your Word, just exactly the way things are supposed to happen. And we see that the church world how they have did. We--we see just--just like it was in the days of Noah, just like it was in the days of Sodom, just exactly what Jesus said would take place: the tidal waves; how women would walk and dress, and how they'd be snoopy, and--and walk with the way they do, and mince and twist, and care--just exactly what the prophet said. Just what Daniel said, "The iron and clay couldn't agree together." And, oh--oh, everything is fulfilled, Lord. We're right at the end time. The shadows are falling, Lord. The red lights are flashing; the bells are ringing.

L-735-244 O God, let Your people realize that soon the Angel shall set foot upon the land and sea and raise up His hands and say, "Time shall be no more."
Then O, what a weeping and wailing,
When the lost ones are told of their fate;
They'll cry to the rocks and the mountains,
They'll pray, but the prayer is too late.
Now, is the day of salvation. "Let him that has an ear hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." Grant it, Lord.
May there not be one person here be missing on that day of the Rapture. May we be so filled with the love of God and the Spirit of God until the Holy Spirit will catch us away with the waiting, or even if we shall rest in our lot. As You said to Daniel, "Go your way, Daniel, for you shall rest. But at that day you'll stand in your lot."
O God, You said, "Those that turn many to--from sin to righteousness shall outshine the stars forever and ever." What a day. But them wicked shall be turned away into destruction. O God, make men to realize their position just now in life, that they might turn to the righteous One before it's everlasting too late. Grant it, Father.

L-736-248 Now, with our heads bowed just a moment, in the closing prayer, would there be one like to be remembered, saying, "Brother Branham, I raise my hand, not to you but to God. May God be merciful to me and I'll be present on that day, washed in the Blood of the Lamb"? God bless you. God bless you, you, you, you, you, many hands.
Now, heavenly Father, God, bless each, every one. You seen their hands. You know their hearts. And we realize, Lord, that we--something is fixing to happen. The world knows it; they're singing songs, and the television are bursting forth with neurotical jokes and songs. What are they doing? Like a little boy whistling in the dark, passing by a graveyard, scared to death, trying to soothe his nerves by whistling. He's only fooling himself. So's this nation only laughing, joking...?..., just as it said that the time would come when they would do that, "Be turned from truth to fables." And how that in the last days there would come scoffers and laughers and how these things would be at the end time, heady, high-minded, having a form of godliness, turning away from the truth, and we see it right now.
