<TITLE>20. Par 139-145</TITLE>L-139   But they want that kind. That's the kind of pastors they want in. They don't want nothing else. And when God in this last days has shook every Divine gift that's recommended in the Bible, every gift that Jesus Christ promised, every gift, and every sign, and every end-time sign. Everything that was promised in this Bible, as far as I can see, myself, has already been shook before the nation, and she plunges on towards hell as hard as she can go. Tell them? They'll run on, anyhow.
Let me just get a few more Scriptures here before closing. All right. Oh, "Set forth for Eternal destruction," is what they are, the Bible says.

L-140   This nation lies in this same rot. This same social rottenness, this nation lies in it tonight. You know that. It's no joke. It's not a hearsay. It's the Truth. Genesis 6:12, "All flesh was corrupt, man walked in his own way," in his own thinking, ignoring the laws of God. That's the way man does today. Man don't want to hear the Word of God. People don't want to hear It. They want to walk in their own way.

L-141   Jezebel refused to hear the Word of the Lord. She wouldn't want to call that old fuzzy-looking preacher, Elijah, her pastor. But he was her pastor, anyhow. Right. God sent him, and he bellowed out his message. Though uneducated, they don't know where he come from or where he went to. He came on the scene with the Word of the Lord. He sent his message, that he preached, and he condemned everything there was, called sin. That, that modern Jezebel, had switched and bewitched the people under the witchcraft of her powers until the whole nation was corrupted, and Elijah stood alone out there on the mountain. God said, "Elijah, don't think that. I've got seven thousand down there that's honest in heart, yet." That's his second pull, and the third one went back for them.

L-142   But remember, God was merciful, and He--He... And Elijah's message condemned that unbelieving generation. Noah's message condemned that generation, and brought judgment upon those who refused to hear it, and deliverance to those who believed it. "And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."

L-143   Genesis 6, ignoring God's laws! They say, "God's laws?" God's Word says today, in the Bible!
Now listen, I'm not saying this to any individual person. I'm only responsible, as your brother. I'm responsible for telling you the whole Truth, as the great Saint Paul said before his leaving, "I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God."

L-144 Now, the Bible says, today, that women should not cut their hair. I don't care how many preachers say that that's all right; it's wrong. I don't care how many churches stands for it; the Bible still says that it is wrong. "It's a shame for her to do so." But they continue to do it, anyhow, going on. What are they doing? In their own mind, making their ownselves pretty, they think they're pretty.

L-145   God's Word warns, she shall not do these things. "She shall not put on a garment, or slack, or anything that pertains to a man," but she goes right on just the same. Try to stop her?
Say, "What are you hollering about then, Brother Branham? What you going on? Why, people like you better if you'd..." I don't care, that. I do care what people think. Now don't get me wrong. But I'm interested in what God thinks, and This is His Word.
Yeah, you tell her it's wrong to do that, she'll go right ahead and do it, anyhow. See? Why? Women in all Christendom do these things, and the church don't seem to care anything about it. Why is it? The sons of God has fell for the lust of female flesh and blood, and denied the very God and Blood that bought them, to separate them from those filthy things. Amen. That's the Truth. So help me God, it's the Truth.
