<TITLE>03. Par 16-23</TITLE>L-16   On the tape of What Time Is It, Sirs? Many of you has got the tape, see. I could speak for the Chapters and anywhere else, and say, "It's THUS SAITH THE LORD. I'll meet seven Angels. And it'll be known, the countries over, see. And something is fixing to happen, for He told me." There it was, see, just the three months afterwards. See? And all these other things, when you... When the Lord has spoke it, it's got to happen.

L-17 That's the reason that I know that His Word is perfect. No matter what people think about It, It's the Word of God. [Brother Branham pats his Bible--Ed.] That's right, that's THUS SAITH THE LORD. See, that's, and we know that that's true.

L-18   Jesus is coming. When? I don't know. What form, how He'll come? I have an idea, but I--I don't know. It's wrote in Here, He said, "I, if I be taken up," He would draw all man to Him, and He would come again. I know He is coming. Oh, that's positive. And it doesn't matter to me when it is. See? If it's tonight, or if it's next year, or if it's a thousand years from now, just so He comes! I got Eternal Life. I ain't going to be any older, I'm just going to be there when He comes. That's all. That's, see, it doesn't matter to me when, how, which a way He does it, just so I'm there!

L-19 And He promised me that I would be there, and He has already give me Eternal Life, 'cause He said, "He that can receive My Words and believe on Him that sent Me, has Eternal Life; and shall not come to the judgment, but has passed from death to Life." That's good enough for me. Right there, that's my absolute. That's my absolute. He promised it. There is no way for it to ever fail. It just cannot fail, no more than God can fail. And it's impossible for God to fail. That's one thing that God cannot do, fail. He can't fail. Aren't you happy for that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Oh, my!

L-20   When I begin to see the years counting up, and--and begin to see two or three services a day, is beginning to make me get just a little bit tired, where it used to didn't bother me. But then I think, "Well, what difference does it make?"

L-21 I want to ask you something. We're just home folks, so I want to. What if you're eighty years old tonight, or you're fifteen years old tonight? If you're eighty years old, and you live till this time tomorrow night, you'll outlive many, many young sixteen-year-old children. Did you ever think of that? You sure will. You're here for a purpose, to serve God. So what difference, the age it is to you? Just serve God.

L-22   If God come to me and said, "I want you to go to earth," and--and I was up there and He said, "go to earth, I'm going to give you a hundred years space of the knowledge, but I want you to lot your--your years. What years you want to take, the first twenty-five, the second twenty-five, the third twenty-five, or the last twenty-five?"

L-23 What would I say? Well, if I'm going to put my time here to be, oh, a football player or an athlete, or something, I better take the first twenty-five. If I'm going to be here to be a carpenter, or some person like that, well, I better take the second twenty-five. But if I want to take to serve the Lord, I'll take the last twenty-five, from seventy-five to a hundred, because, I've had the accumulation of that much knowledge, I know more about it. See? As long as I can stand on my two feet and walk around, what difference does it make how old I am? I'm here to serve the Lord, and that's it. Amen. That's good enough for me. He promised it.
