<TITLE>33. Par 318-330</TITLE>L-318   Notice, He never walked out with her. She put Him out, the Word, rejected Him. Now this is a pitiful sight, when we get to the end.

L-319 Just like it was in Babylon, man won't stop at anything he's trying to achieve himself. He just won't stop. Like in the days of Noah, no matter how much Noah preached and warned, didn't do a bit of good. In the days when Ahab, he must make his own bread to send his ownself to hell. That's exactly. He has to make his bread so the link will break, so it'll send his ownself to hell. Just like Ahab and Jezebel, they. But, the thing of it is, they didn't think they were sinning. They thought they were doing right.

L-320   You know, Jesus said, "It'll come to pass that they'll even kill you, thinking they're doing God a service." Wait till this new book of mine comes out. They shot at some people, the other night, for saying that it was wrong to unite the Roman Catholic church with the Protestant. Three shots went through a building, of a friend of mine, just barely missed them. Wait till this book gets in circulation. Don't think they are sinning; they think they're doing the right thing. They think they're--they're doing that for a cause for God, not knowing it.

L-321 The Jews killed Jesus, thinking they were doing the right thing, because their church doctrine said He was wrong. Oh, said for them He... "They crucified the very Bread that they were supposed to live by."

L-322   Now, then, "As many as received Him to be their Life, Eternal Life, they lived by Him, and He gave them power to become part of Him, sons of God." Is that right?

L-323 They like the wild gourds, death in the pottage, from the school of their theologians. They don't want Jesus, the Bread of Life. They don't want Him. They put Him out of their church. They've got to do it. I don't care what they do.

L-324 You say, "You think you're going to change it, Brother Branham?" No, sir. But I'm speaking to the Elected.

L-325 They put Him out. Why? They took their pottage, mixed with the world, some theories of something, and mixed it together, and made a theological seminary pottage. And they refuse the prophet Elijah's meal to cure it.

L-326 Did they do it in that day? Elijah had some meal. That meal was Christ, the meal-offering, all ground the same. Every burr had to be the same, to grind it. And he throwed that in there, and it cured their sickness, or their death in the pot.

L-327 But today they got death in the pot, and they don't want Elijah's Meal, Christ, the Bread, the Word. "No, sir! It's heresy!" They won't have It. Go ahead and eat it, and you'll die as sure as the world. There is poison in the pot. They won't accept this Meal (no, sir) in their theological pots. They just won't do it. Now they'll put you out of it, they don't want nothing to do with it.

L-328   Now the second Eve, bread grain, was Pentecost, did as the first, Adam bread, went to death under the Roman burrs, under persecution, martyrdom.

L-329 But her sister which became a whore, (is that what the Bible says?) that's right, what did she do? She went right on out into the world and begot children. Who can say "amen" to that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Revelation 17, "The whore and her daughters," not man; women, churches. The denominated, what made her a whore? She rejected the Word and took the denomination, she become a whore. What did her children done? They were harlots, which is the same thing. Done the same thing, rejected the Word and took to the denomination. "Her children," daughters, churches, look at them.

L-330   Now let me say this, in prophecy. Will you understand? The big family fuss is about over. They're all coming back together. Old mother is going to take her kids back again. They're all the same, anyhow. They want to be one. It's time for the church and God, church and the Word, to get one, right here, because that's what He's coming after; not a "one" group like that. No, sir.
