<TITLE>12. Par 67-71</TITLE>L-67 Now, I met a man was a Christian, and he's got a great country right under Alaska. And I had made up in my mind, that being that I had left here and gone West, that I would take my wife and kind of trap her into something; I'd get her up there, and I'd become a guide. And then if the Lord wanted me to do something, I'd let my hair grow out and--and I--I'd... my whiskers. And--and I--I'd go back in there and be a guide. There's only about two or three Indians live back in the country there. I--I'd just be a--a guide and I'd help Bud. And if the Lord wanted me to do anything, then I'd--I'd say, "All right, Lord." He'd give me a vision. I would slip on out.

L-68   I say the people... I've never regarded myself, anybody knowing this, but people have said, "Brother Branham, the Lord called you to be His prophet." Well, I--I've never regarded myself as that, but I begin to get to the time that I was about ready to do it, to think, "Well, maybe I am. If I am, I'll live back in the wilderness. And if I live back in the wilderness, then I'll--I'll--I'll be His prophet, see, and then if He wants to send me somewhere. And while He's not using me, then I'll sure to catch some fine fish and--and do some things." Course, that was kind of a selfish attitude, see, because I wanted to do that. Now, it isn't just exactly the thing that's to do. And now I had that made up in my mind to do that.

L-69 And now, just before the Seven Church Ages was preached, as they're drawed there... There is many, today, that was here during that time, and know that how the Lord did bless that, on the wall back there, It reflected it. Just to... How many is here now, that was there then when He--He came? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That did it.

L-70   Then I remember then of a Brother Jackson. He is usually with us. Brother Junior Jackson, the Methodist was a Methodist minister. Yeah, here he is setting over here now. Now, that he come to me with a dream, and then some more brethren come with similar dream. Now, the Lord has been real good to me, and I have never, take you to record this morning, have I ever told you a wrong interpretation of a dream? No, sir. Because, that the Lord... I will not speak it till I see it over again and know what He says about it, then I'll tell you. And then he said I--I was having a service down to his church, and he, somehow or another, he was real nervous that night, and he ran out of the church and come around the other way and met me in the car, and the people passing by. Said, "I want to tell you something."

L-71   And he told me that he dreamed a dream, that up here somewhere, like in Indiana, that there was a long, great grassy hill, and the water had washed all the soil off the top, and it become rock like a--a bald top on the--on the mountain. And then in this rock there was funny Writing. And said I was standing there with all the brethren around the church here, interpreting this Writing. And then when it come to the time that I got all of It interpreted, then the... somehow or another, if I understand the dream right, got a hold of something like a crow bar, or--or some kind of a angle bar or something, or not a angle bar, I meant a--a pry bar or something, and just cut the top of that mountain out and lifted it up. And on the inside of it was white rock, something on the order of granite or--or something on that side, some white rock that wasn't written on. And I said to the brethren, "Stay here and look in on This." And I, while they were all looking, I slipped out from among them and started going West. And Brother Jackson said that he saw me going over one hill, and then another hill, getting smaller and smaller, going West. You remember that.
