<TITLE>30. Par -</TITLE>L-42-1 And the next day, the man who had took the deposit, give him back the deposit, and said, "We got an orchestra. We had it booked up, and we forgot it, and had lost that thing; and we had to give it to the orchestra, and you can't have it." And we went out to Town and Country.
Walked in that morning, and there they all stood. When I set down behind the desk, back there, and waiting, after they had had breakfast, I looked around at them like that. We had breakfast in a room, come out, set down there, and there was the Greater Ministerial Association of Chicago. And I looked around to them. Each one introduced themselves as Doctor Ph.D., LL., Q.U.S.T. and all them kind of things like that. I just set and listened at them till they got through.

L-42-3 Brother--Brother Carlson stood up. He said, "Gentlemen..." And all of you know Hank Carlson. Ask him. Well, you got it on tape right here. If you want to buy the tape it's here. The boys has got it. He said, "Gentlemen..." He said, "I introduce to you next, Brother Branham." He said, "You all might disagree with him on his doctrine, but let me tell you something: Three days ago we set in a place, and if that man didn't tell me everything that's happened this morning, I am not standing here. He told me that you all were fixing to question him on his doctrine, and he told me that I'd have to cancel out that other place and be here, and told me exactly where Dr. Mead, and these people would be setting, just exactly, and here they are." He said, "You might disagree with him, but I say one thing; he's fearless with what he thinks about." He said, "Now, Brother Branham, the floor is yours."

L-42-4 I said, "Before we start." I read what I did this morning; "I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision." I said, "Now, let's settle this. Now, you all speak of being Doctors of Divinity, and I stand here by myself." I said, "If that is so, you want to question me on the baptism in Jesus' Name, we'll start with that first. I want one of you men to bring your Bible and stand here by my side, on anything that I've taught." I said, "Stand here by my side and with the Word of God, disprove it." I waited; nobody said nothing. I said, "I am asking for some of you men to come, stand by my side. So what's the matter with you? Then stay off my back, if you're afraid to stand here by me." It's not me they are afraid of. It is that Angel of the Almighty God, that they know if He could foretell me to come... They was brighter than I thought they were. They knowed better than to stand there.

L-43-1 You know you've been in times--of them times too, but they didn't do it. What is the matter? If it's so great and they know it's so truthful... I've put it on tape, and anywhere else I'm ready to talk it over in a Christian way with any brother. I won't argue with nobody, but I want you to come, disprove any of it by the Word, not by your textbook now, not what Doctor so-and-so, or Saint so-and-so, said. I want to know what God said. That's the basis. I want to know what That is. They don't do it.

L-43-2 Now, look, when it is time for the seven voices, then it's time for the seven Voices when the Book is completed of Revelations 10 to be revealed. Now, notice, listen. Now, I won't keep you too much longer; I know I'm wearing you out here; it's twenty minutes till ten. Listen close now. I know standing up and you all changing positions and things. I'll be glad when the church gets fixed so we won't have to be cramped up. We can take all day to preach it.
Now, notice. Now, note, the seven voices was thunders: blast.
God help us. If I'm wrong, Lord forgive me.
I'm asking you the question. It blasted with thunder when this voice rung out. Did you notice that when the seven seals, that followed the seven church ages; when the first seal was opened, that there was a thunder? The first seals in the Book was opened, there was a thunder. Would not the first seal on the outside Book open the same way? God doesn't change His program.
