<TITLE>17. Par -</TITLE>L-27-5 The woman at the well was convinced that He was the Messiah. When she'd seen that Scriptural sign, that she knowed what Messiah was going to be... As I said this morning, that predestinated life laying there, and as soon as she--it's warm waters poured down--or cool waters, rather, poured down upon that Word of Life that God had predestinated from the foundation of the world, she seen It [Brother Branham snaps his finger--Ed.] quickly as that. When there's ministers there didn't see It, priests that didn't see It, high priests didn't see It; great clergyman didn't see It: called It devil. And that poor little harlot out there, God had predestinated that from the foundation of the world. If you're ever there, you were too.

L-27-6 Now, the Bible said in the last days the antichrist would be so religious and so much like the real thing till it would deceive the very elected, if it was possible. But it's not. That's right. And all... He would deceive all upon the earth whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life since the last revival? That don't sound like the Bible, does it? From the foundation of the world. You ain't going to deceive them 'cause they're laying right in that Word. When they see those things appearing [Brother Branham snaps his fingers--Ed.], it's Life, they catch it right now.
Others will walk around and say, "Aw, there's nothing to that." See, they're not convinced. There's nothing there to convince them, nothing in them to believe with.
Mother used to say, "How can you get blood from a turnip when there's no blood in it." That's right.

L-28-3 "My sheep hear My voice." They know the Word. What is His Voice? Here It is. These creeds, they don't follow, but they hear My Voice; they follow It.
The woman at the well was thoroughly convinced, then she was concerned that her people would also see that sign and believe It. After she was convinced that that was the Messiah, because He told her where her trouble was, she said, "Sir, we know when the Messiah cometh, He'll do that."
He said, "I'm Him."
She knowed a man that could do that thing would certainly be telling the Truth. Oh, my. Yes, a man that God would use in that manner wouldn't lie. That's right. He'll tell you the Truth.
Said, "I am He."
And she was so thrilled when that Light broke through on that Word, she ran into the city. She was thoroughly convinced, whether she was suppose to or not. She run into the city and told them rabbis and priests and all the men in the streets, the market man; and up in every grocery and up and down the street she went testifying, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things that I've done. Take your Bible; look in the scrolls; isn't that the Truth that that's the very Messiah?" She was convinced. She'll rise up in the judgment and condemn thousands of people out of the United States and here. She sure will.
You know, Jesus said, "The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment, condemn them, 'cause she come to hear a gift of wisdom," what Solomon had, a discernment. And said, "A greater than Solomon is here." Sure. But still the people wouldn't believe Him. Sure.

L-29-1 She was convinced, and she wanted her people to be convinced. See, after she was convinced, then she got concerned about her people. She knew that that was Messiah. She knew that's what the Bible said would happen when Messiah come.
She said, "We know that Messiah, which is called the Christ, when He comes He'll tell us them things. But You must be a prophet."
Jesus said, "I'm Him."
There she was convinced because she knowed the Scripture said so, and here It was. She was convinced; then she was concerned. She went to tell somebody else.
