<TITLE>23. Par 187-191</TITLE>L-187   Now, some lewd person in Phoenix just got up and said... played that part on the--a tape, and said I said here, I "must be baptized in Jesus' Name," said that. And then said, "Now you see here, over here he said..." When I was talking about Africa, how they baptized three times face forward, and back. Said I said, "Don't make any difference." See, he never played the rest of the tape; just that part, and cut it off.
Which, would be a penitentiary offense to do it. Them tapes are absolutely franchised. No one can mess with them. You better not. You--you--you got the law on you. But would we do it? No. He said, "Let them alone." God told me what's going to take place. Just watch, just keep your eye on that person. See?

L-188   The same time, the Bride has realized the evening Light.
If Sodom would have recognized their hour!

L-189 Now, this same person put on tape, said, "Look here, to you Pentecostal people," said, "and you Baptists. This man, false prophet, William Branham," see, "has said that Oral Roberts and Billy Graham was in Sodom." See, then cut the tape off; that's all, see.
Wouldn't go ahead to say, that, "They were messengers to Sodom." Not in Sodom, "They were there as a messenger to Sodom." Anybody knows I said that. Play your tape.
"Whosoever shall take from or add to, the same shall be taken from him." It's the Word of the Lord. It stands that way.

L-190   "If Sodom had have recognized her messenger, she would a-been standing today," Jesus said, if she'd have recognized the same as Abraham recognized.
Abraham knowed there was a promised son coming. But he knowed there had to be a change some way, because he was too old, and so was Sarah. But when he saw that One Who could discern the thoughts of Sarah, behind Him, he recognized the hour he was living. He said, "My Lord, let me fetch a little water here and wash Your feet." They ate a morsel of bread. "Let me pray Thee, hold on just a little bit longer," see, here, "my L-o-r-d," capital L-o-r-d, "Elohim." He recognized that God was speaking to him out of human flesh. He recognized his sign, and was blessed of the Lord.
Sodom didn't recognize their day, and was burned up. Jesus said, "As it was in that day, so shall it be when the Son of God is... or the Son of man is being made manifest."

L-191   Now, the church has not recognized her day. Like Israel, forced back to Palestine, she is going to be forced into the World Council of Churches. Why? She didn't recognize her hour. "People, come out of her, be not partakers of her sin!" Flee, your life, or you'll be caught with the mark of the beast and can't do nothing else about it.
"Let him that's filthy be filthy still. Let him that's holy," not will be holy, "holy now. Let him that's holy," not a bab-... bobbed- haired woman; she can't be. Now, that sounds very flat, but that's the Scripture. The Bible says, "She dishonors her head," and her head is her husband. His Head is Christ, so she dishonors Christ. How can she be "dishonorable" and not be "filthy"? "Let she that's got bobbed hair keep it. Let he, she that wears shorts keep on wearing them. Let he that denies the Word keep on denying It."
"But let him that's holy be holy still. Let him that's righteous be righteous still; the righteous Word of God, the Son of God made manifest. Be holy still, righteous still!" Recognize! Yes, sir! Days not...
The church has not recognized her day.
