<TITLE>32. Par -</TITLE>1L-042-Q-321 321. Brother Branham, if you have time please explain Matthew 10:41. I would like to know what is a prophet's reward?
Well now, Jesus said, "Whosoever receive a prophet in the name of a prophet, receives a prophet's reward." A prophet's reward is to be a friend with the prophet. Whosoever receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, receives a righteous man's reward. Is that right? And if they want to know what a prophet's reward is, is to be a friend to the prophet. See? That's a reward. He's your friend.
Like the Shunammite woman, it might come in handy sometime. See? It did with her. See? Watch God's servants.
Oh, my. Now, we're... I--I just must close and, friend, I--I hate to do it, but just looky here, just look what, hundreds. [Brother Branham is urged by the congregation to answer more--Ed.] No. But--I know, but see, I--I love you saying that, but I'm thinking of these poor people driving hundreds of miles yet tonight. My, them's just--there's so many in there, I...

1L-042-Q-322 322. Brother Branham, I would like to know about the millennium. Is it after the marriage supper, or--or is it on earth, all about it. I do--don't understand about it.
Well, brother or sister, it's hard for me to understand it, myself. But only thing I can say is this: that the marriage supper comes before the millennium.
Now, see, somebody, I know somewhere in here has got a question on that, that said, "Brother Branham, you're--you're wrong on the seventy weeks of Daniel. There will still be seventy weeks." No, the Messiah was to come and prophesy, and in the midst of the seventy weeks, seventy of weeks, which is seven years, He was to--He was to be cut off from among the living and made a sacrifice. How many remembers that? All right. How many years then did Jesus preach, the Messiah? Three and a half. Then there's still 3 1/2 determined.
And in Revelations the 11th chapter, these two prophets, they prophesy one thousand two hundred and three score days. Three and one half years still promised to Israel when the Gentile Bride is gone. How many understands that now? See? All right, all right.

1L-043-Q-323 323. This is a... I have a lunch counter and serve high school children for the most part. Since coming into the Light, I have taken the pinball machine and the (the jukebox; they got) j-box out. The youngsters do smoke and they want the rock-and-roll music on the--on the radio. I open only about four hours a day. I do not--I do not uphold smoking or drinking, but I am worried in holding the place.
You know, that's a problem. See? The thing of it is, that you are--you are--maybe have to make a living. But you know what that would do for me? That'd make me so nervous I couldn't... I--I--that... You might be able to put up with it, but that little bunch of "Rickys" in there carrying on like that, and "Rickettas," I'd --I'd--it'd run me wild. See?
And I tell you; I--I... If it would be mine, I know what I'd do. I'd say, "You stop that or get out of here." See? I'd run a right kind of a place or not run it at all. But you, if you have to do it for a living, I don't want to disregard you, brother or sister. I--I know it's hard to say these things; but that--that just... It isn't right (You see?), because it looked like it kinda...

1L-044-227 Like someone said this morning about our women wearing their dresses so short, or older women was a bad example to the young ladies. I think that's right too. You see?
And I think that same thing. When they see you in there where all this smoking and carrying on is, and know your testimony, and all this cursing and--and rallying around them little children like that, and them carrying on like that, and you saying nothing about it, it's a bad thing on your testimony. You do whatever the Lord leads you. I'll pray that God will lead you to the right way.
