<TITLE>36. Par 343-347</TITLE>L-343 {514-4} 39. Question: Concerning the sixty-eight million slain by the Roman Catholic church, what time in history did this take place, and over how long a period of time did this take place?
Take Smucker's "Glorious Reformation," I guess some of these scholars have that; and it's the history of the church. And I forget now just what page it's on, but it taken place from the time of the--the--the thing was produced or given to the church by Saint Augustine of Hippo, Africa. That was AD 354, and it lasted until 1850, the massacre of Ireland. You see? So that time is--were from AD 33--or AD 30--354, let me get that right now. See? From AD 3-5-4 to--to AD 1-8-5-0, 1850, according to the history there were sixty-eight million Protestants put to death recorded on the Roman martyrology for disagreeing with the pope of Rome. That's history. If you want to say it's wrong, well then, maybe George Washington wasn't here or Lincoln (You know none of us lived back to see it.); but I believe they was here anyhow. I see signs that they were here.

L-344 {514-5} 40. Brother Branham, the 19th chapter of--and the 18th verse: "Yet have I kept me seven thousand of Israel--seven thousand in Israel all hadn't bowed their--bowed to Baalim, and every mouth--or--or beared the...?... every which has not kissed him--mouth who's not kissed him." Please explain this for me about the--about the seven hundred.
It was seven thousand. See? And that's kissing Baali. Don't you know... How many here was formerly Catholic? Sure, see? You kiss images. See? And remember, in the time of Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar when the Gentile kingdom was issued in (See?), when the Gentile kingdom issued in, it come in by the worship of a man.

L-346 {515-2} Nebuchadnezzar made a statue of a man. And if you've got a spiritual mind... (Now, listen to this revelation). That spirit, that man that he made a revelation of--or he made an image of by his revelation was Daniel--a religious man being worshipped (See it?), because he named him Belzar, wasn't? Or Belteshazzar, which was the name of his god. And he made a image of that god, which was the image of Daniel, and Daniel refused to bow to his own image. See, see? And here it is again. See?
Now watch. The Gentile kingdom was issued in in the days of Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar, a Gentile king, putting church and state together by taking a holy im--a image of a holy man and forcing worship to it. The Gentile kingdom ends in the feet with a handwriting on the wall by a political power that's united church and state together to force kissing images again (You see?), same thing: image of a holy man. Sure.

L-347 {515-3} 41. Brother Branham, when this rapture takes place... When the rapture takes place, will the young children that do not know right from wrong go in the rapture?
If their names are on the Book. Yes. That's right. See? All right.

L-347 {515-4} 42. Brother Branham, you said last night that the--there were seven hundred people to be saved--would be saved under Elijah's preaching. You meant seven thou...
Yeah, that's right. Please forgive me for that. That's all right (See?); I did it.
