<TITLE>16. Par 87-93</TITLE>L-87   You remember on the tape: Sirs, What Time Is It? I'll quote it over. "Remember, something is fixing to take place, major." And now It's made the whole nation testify to It. Every newspaper on the Associated Press, and one of our leading magazines, and everything else, testifying about Him, and it ain't all over, yet. But what a privileged people, a--a privileged people that's Christian, to know that in this dark hour, when there's no hopes according to sciences, and atomic bomb waiting for us. And no hopes in our organizations, ever getting together, they are consolidating with the mark of the beast. And when all of our hopes that way is gone, in our economy, of our Christian fellowship amongst the organizations. It's heading up into Catholicism, which will be a mark of the beast in the confederation of church.

L-88 But, and those who love God and are looking for a reality, that the very God Who made the promise in the Bible, spreads it before our face; and makes the church, and the people, and science, and magazines, and everything, recognize that He is still God and can fill the promises. What a time!

L-89   Then in Sabino Canyon that morning, praying and wondering what would happen, holding my hands out to God, up on top of that mountain, that Sword dropped into my hand; with a pearl handle, and its guard over it, and a long blade about three foot long, and glisten like pot metal or like chrome, razor sharp. And I didn't know what it was. And I said, "I'm afraid of these things."

L-90 And just then a Voice spoke, that shook the canyon. Said, "This is the Sword of the Lord." And the Sword of the Lord is the Word of the Lord, for the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword.

L-91   Then coming back to that, then, during that time, a gallant little brother here in the church... And he was a soldier and got blowed all to pieces in the army, almost, and laid out for dead, and said he'd... They didn't, the medics didn't think he'd live, and wasn't even worth fooling with, he was so far gone. The main nerves in his leg bursted; his little arm almost blowed completely off; his leg, one leg off, nearly. But God seen grace, saved him and healed him one day.

L-92 He, Brother Roy Roberson, was present when that picture was taken there at Houston. How his wife was told by a vision, what she had been doing in the day, and how she had a trouble and it would be healed. And that brought him a believer. But he, being a military man was kind of (I hope he forgives me for saying this) from where all the--the rough, precise side, giving orders in the army. As a command of man, he had to sass-out, and, "Do it!" See? And he--he believed, though. But steady, and coming around with the church and seeing the supernatural, he said, "I believe that, but that's for somebody else."

L-93   One night the Lord woke him up, one morning. We were setting, he and I, looked like in Jerusalem at the Lord's Communion table, and I was talking. He couldn't understand it. And Brother Roy, setting present, looking at me right now, and he saw it. And he called me up, in Houston... or out in Arizona, or sent me a letter and I called him back. He said, "You were setting there, Brother Branham, and I saw that big Pillar of Light come in and get you, and take you away from the Lord's table, and you went westward." Cause he was setting on the east side watching me go west, and this Light come in and taken me out.
