<TITLE>12. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 Let me drop this in. (I hope my watch don't alarm too quick. But look, listen.) The people today are scared to death of communism. Shame on you. Well, what are you scared of communism? I want any theologian, any Bible scholar to show me where communism will rule the world. I tell you, Romanism's going to rule the world according to the Bible. You watch about that.
Don't watch iron curtains and bamboo curtains; but watch the purple curtain. That's the one that's going to get you. Don't you never worry about that. That... You just mark that down, and say, "Brother Branham said it," and put it in your Bible, and see if it's right.
Communism is nothing but a tool in God's hand, playing right up. Well, it won't amount to nothing. That's exactly right. Don't fear about that. That's something to throw you off of the track of looking. But Bible readers and men who love God stay with what the Bible said. Certainly. Just watch that.

L-44 Now, we won't receive God's gift in this nation, this generation. They've turned it down. The people who believe in it is called fanatics, cranks, holy-rollers, and everything else. They're despised and rejected, just what the Scripture said they would do. "Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, despisers of those that are good, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof." It's exactly what the Holy Spirit said would happen in the last days. And we're here, friends. We're here exactly.
Many other Scriptures we could tie in with it, let's go on to another thing, what Jesus said here. And as in the days of... In the days of Solomon, God sent a gift among His people. And there was one time they accepted it. They accepted Solomon, the gift of discernment. And when the discernment was upon Solomon, everybody was one heart and one accord. Every... Why, every nation feared. They didn't have no war. They--they didn't have any wars because they was afraid of Israel, not so much the nation as it was the God they were serving. They were in one heart and one accord. And they all rallied around that gift. Oh, how they all liked it, and everybody talking good...?...

L-45 Wouldn't it be wonderful if every Christian tonight in America would all go to talking about the Holy Ghost, and how wonderful it is, and go... Why, I tell you it would be... Why, wouldn't it make newspapers everywhere. And the lines would burn up just from sending the news. Oh, how wonderful it'd be. But they won't do it. See? But oh, if we could just rally around the gifts of God, the Holy Spirit.
Now, we find out that everybody in that day rallied around. And God made this man that had this gift upon him, the king. Why, you know, news scattered everywhere. The people brought in herds of sheep. They brought in cattle, and gold, and everything, and helped them. They was trying to find peace with them, is what they were trying to do, because they knowed that a living God was with a living people. And they knew that.

L-46 Now, notice what taken place. News scattered them days by... Thank God, they didn't have television; but they had lip-to-ear. And the--the caravans would come through and go somewhere, and they'd talk about it. And after while the news come way down into Sheba. Mark on your map how far that is from Jerusalem down to Sheba.
They had a queen down there, a little pagan, heathen queen. And people come by and would give testimony of what was going on up in Palestine. And "faith cometh by hearing the Word of God."
