<TITLE>26. Par 96-101</TITLE>L-96 As that Angel set with His back turned to the tent where she was in there, and told exactly what she was saying there, Jesus said, "So shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." It shall be that way. Israel received it there. The Gentiles... The Jews, Samaritans, and now the Gentiles... It shall be. Why? The Bible said Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
No uncertainty about it. He is the same. And when He's coming in His fullness in this last days, manifesting Himself, He proves Hisself the same. Amen. "I do nothing except the Father shows Me first." Oh, how I wished I could just make people see it. I wished I could. All right.

L-97 Nothing uncertain. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8. Is that right? Certainly it is. You say, "Well, Brother Branham, I don't know what to do." The Bible said in Acts 2:38, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Not you may, you shall: nothing uncertain about that, not a bit uncertain.
He said you shall receive it. "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." He promised to do it. There's no uncertainty. You shall receive it; nothing uncertain.

L-98 Little old Zacchaeus in the Bible... His wife, Rebekah, she was a--a follower of the Lord Jesus. It was her influence that helped bring him down there, we're told by history. He want... She wanted Zacchaeus to believe Jesus so much, that He was a prophet. And she told him, told him, said, "Honey, that Man is a prophet. I've seen Him stand there and say what that person--perceived in their heart. Now, look here, the Scripture said... Here's the exactly vindication that He..."
"Aw, Rabbi Kabinski (I hope there's none here like that, but... ), Rabbi Kabinski told me that it wasn't nothing but a bunch of illusion. What follows Him? A bunch of ignoramuses that never went to school a day in their life." That old devil never did die. That's right. So he said, "What are they? I don't believe it."

L-99 But you know, she prayed constantly for him. And the day that He come to town, he thought he'd meet Him, and see what He looked like.
He didn't believe He was a prophet, so he said, "I'll just deceive him. I'll climb up in a tree, and watch Him when He passes." And he covered hisself up, and got up in a tree.
Here come Jesus walking down the street, walking along like this. He come right under the tree, looked up in the tree, and says, "Zacchaeus, come on down." Nothing uncertain about that.
Zacchaeus said, "Yes, Lord. Here I am. If I've done anything wrong, I'll make it right." Knowed who he was, and knowed he was up there in the tree too.
"Zacchaeus, come on down. I'm going home with you for dinner." He let loose the limbs, and here he come. He knowed that was the Messiah. There's no uncertain sound about that. He knowed it was.

L-100 But today that same thing can happen, say, "Oh, well, it was a pretty good meeting, I suppose." Oh, men, this unadulterated Gospel being preached to a perverted generation, it's such a pitiful thing. But yet, the grace of God constrains It to go on anyhow, not willing that any should perish, but that all might come to repentance. Yes.

L-101 He not only knowed he was in the tree, but He knowed who he was. "Come on down." That took all the starch out of him. You know, he become a full-fledged member of the Full Gospel Business Men's Association down there, I believe, down at--down there. Why, sure. He was convinced that that was the Messiah. No matter what Rebekah done, or what Rebekah said, he saw it for himself. Yes, sir.
