<TITLE>03. Par 15-25</TITLE>L-15   Few nights ago, I'm told that he took in... taken something like intestinal flu. And that when he realized that he was going, well, he called for me. And he didn't know, at that time, I was in New York, at the arena. And when I got out of the arena, the telegram, or message was given to me. I rushed quickly to a phone and called. But the lovely brother that's taking care of him, said, "Brother Branham, Garnett went to meet Jesus, six o'clock."

L-16   He's gone from us. We--we realize that. But I wonder if really there is such a thing as--as this being the end of it? We're all conscious that the boy is gone from us, its life, but let's think what's next. Is there anything that we could say, could we ever see him again? Is this the last we're going to see of Garnett? That's what I want to talk to you about, for the next few minutes. Can you be sure that we're going to see him again? Job asked this question, the oldest Book in the Bible. He said, "If a man dies, shall he live again?" Is there any proof then that this is so? Could we have any physical proof that this resurrection is so? Yes. I would think so.

L-17 If we notice, that, we are serving the Creator. We realize that we could not be here unless there was something that made us. We cannot just be like we are, without just--just happening to be; no more than my watch could be just as it is, with all the jewels and the timing. There was... There is some mastermind behind it, that made that watch, and just think of what a human being is that makes the watch. How impossible it would be for the watch to just to happen, and how much more impossible it is that we just happened!

L-18   Being a missionary and traveling around the world, I been acquainted now with, seven times around the world, and thinking of seeing the different religions of the world, and each one of their philosophies and what they think. And many of them believe in reincarnation, and so forth. But the Christian religion is the only religion that has truth, because all creation speaks of Christianity.

L-19 Job said, "If a tree dies, there's hopes that it--it will live again. And if the flower dies, there's hopes that it'll live again." But he said, "Man layeth down, and he giveth up the ghost, and where is he?" Job was a man, a--a renown man. He was a--a great philosopher of his day, and a believer, and he had much wisdom. And Satan had desired to--to sift him and try him.

L-20 And all Christians, believers, are tried. "Every son that cometh to God must be tried, chastened."

L-21   So, Job, knowing that the Creator made all of His creation, he noticed that in the creation, that, there was a resurrection of botany life, so forth. But he said, "A man layeth down, he giveth up the ghost, he wastes away, and where is he? What happened to him?"

L-22 And then he saw, by a vision, the coming of the Just One. He--he knew he was a sinner. And the--the reason a man had to lay down, and not rise up, there was nothing could speak for him.

L-23 He knew that the flower had done nothing. It was brought here for a purpose, and it served God's purpose. And, therefore, when the flower died, it could raise again.

L-24   But a man had sinned, and there was no way for him to ever rise in the Presence of his Maker. And so, in this condition, he was permitted by God to see the Just One coming. A Man Who could put His hands on a sinful man and a holy God, and bridge the way, the Son of God. Then when the Spirit was on the prophet, he cried out, "I know my Redeemer liveth, and at the last days He'll stand upon the earth, and though after my skin worms destroys my body, yet in my flesh shall I see God for myself. Mine eyes shall behold, and not another."

L-25   All Christianity is based upon resurrection. That's our hopes. Now let's find out why. The Creator has so set it in order, if we did not even have a Bible, we would still know that Christianity was right.
