<TITLE>06. Par 53-61</TITLE>L-53   And he called me, said, "Brother Branham, go to your window that faces the coast." That's the Indian Ocean there. "You'll see something you never seen."

L-54 And there come about ten of those great big English trucks, maybe forty-, fifty-feet long, just piled full of old crutches, and wheel chairs, and things that they had hobbled out of the wilderness on, the day before, and was healed. And here they were, and the--the people that was in those chairs and things, for city blocks, coming behind. All of them in one accord, walking past my hotel, singing, "Only believe. All things are possible," in their native language. Where, we had recorded thirty thousand blanket natives received Christ as their Saviour, at one time.

L-55   No disregards to our sisters, but here is what I can't understand when I come home. Every year, when I go away and come back, I find our--our women of America getting more clothes off of themselves, and yet calling themselves Christians, singing in choirs.

L-56 And them women standing there, many of them, nothing but a small 4-H clout on. And the minute they receive Jesus Christ as Saviour, no one had to tell them they were naked. They folded their arms, like this, to walk away from the presence of where men was standing.

L-57 If the Presence of Jesus Christ will bring that knowledge to a woman that never knowed nothing about Him, and just received Him as Saviour, and make her recognize she is naked, what ought it to do to a--a people here that's supposed to be civilized, and--and supposed to have the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and every year continually stripping themselves? To the... I believe there is something wrong somewhere. It may be with me; if it is, there is something wrong with the Word. I believe that the Holy Spirit will make a person put on clothes instead of take them off.

L-58   Now turn with me to Matthew, the 12th chapter, the 38th and to the 42nd verse, just a little familiar Scripture as we read. Listen closely now.
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and an adulterous generation seek after a sign; and there shall be no sign given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
And the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

L-59 If I should call it a text, I'd like to take that last five words: Greater Than Solomon Is Here.

L-60   We find, Jesus here had been upbraiding. He had been rebuking those places that He had been, and had proven to the people that He was the Messiah, just as He was showing to us last night. And all their teaching had been to believe that that would be the Messiahic sign. And even to this little woman that we spoke of last night, the woman at the well, how she, in her adulterous condition, and yet she knowed more about God, and recognized Him more, than the scribes and Pharisees did.

L-61 For, when they seen this done, they declared It to be some kind of a spirit, said, "It is Beelzebub." Beelzebub was the chief of the devils, a spirit, a devil. And said that He was doing that through some spiritualist, like a fortune-teller. And anybody knows that fortune-telling is of the Devil. And so they accused our Lord of doing that.
