<TITLE>07. Par 60-72</TITLE>L-60   And now we see this forced religion, right in view now, to bring all the little groups into "one great unity," they call it. Some of them believe in this, and some believe in that; and some deny this, and some deny that. The Bible said, "How can two walk together except they be agreed?" It'll never work.

L-61 We've got to be in an agreement. And what in agreement with what? Not in agreement with one another, as much as we've got to be in agreement with the Word, with God. That's what it's got to be in the agreement with.

L-62 Now we find out, and a forced unity was represented by groups of people at Babylon. God cannot put His Name in such a thing as that. He never did and He never will. Though they tried it, they put their name into it, put His Name into it, but it's not so.

L-63 But we must find where He put His Name, for it is the place and the only place that He has provided for the Christians to come, and believing children, and worship Him in this place. What would this place be?

L-64   Now to back it up, we could take the entire Bible to back up what I'm going to say. For, the place that He chose is in Christ, in Jesus Christ. It is in Him, His Son; God's Son, Jesus Christ.

L-65 "Well," you said, "I thought the Scripture reads here that He said He would choose the place, and He would also put His 'Name' in that place."

L-66 Well, the son always takes the father's name. My name is Branham because my father was Branham.

L-67 And Jesus said that He came in His Father's Name. Saint John 5:43, "I come in My Father's Name and you receive Me not," therefore there is where God placed His Name, under the sacrifice of His Own Son! That's God's only provided place. There is where people can meet God, is in Christ. That is His provided place. No denomination, no creed, no nothing else, God has promised to meet. Only in Jesus will He meet, for that's the only place His Name is.

L-68   We also hear Jesus, as I follow the Scripture out, in John, John the 5th chapter and 43rd verse, He said, "Another will come, and come in his name, and him you will receive." We can join a creed, "another," we can join a denomination, you'll receive him; but when you receive Jesus, it's different. "Another will come, 'I'll say I'm Methodist, I'm Baptist, I'm Presbyterian,' you'll receive that all right. But I come in My Father's Name, doing that what the Father said I would do, and you receive Me not." He said, "John came, and he had a great witness, but I have a greater witness in God--in God than what John did. For what the Father has given Me to do, that I do," the Words that was written of Him, what He must be in that day. For He was...

L-69   His Name was God. God has many titles. God is a title, Itself, was called Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah-rapha, Jehovah-manasseh. He was called the Rose of Sharon, Lily of the Valley, Morning Star; Alpha, Omega, Beginning and End; then Father, Son, Holy Ghost; all these titles.

L-70 But His Name, God's Name is "Jesus Christ," the Anointed One. That is His Name. He had many titles, but one Name, the only, "Not another Name under Heaven given among man, whereby you must be saved." We find that that's true.

L-71 Also this warning, that, "When this other one comes, that he come in his own name, 'Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal,' so forth, you'll receive him. You'll join up with him." But Christ is turned down. They turn That down.

L-72   The prophet said! Let's trace his name a little bit. The prophet said, "His Name would be called 'Emmanuel.'" Now, Isaiah said that, about the 7th chapter. And also in Matthew 1:23, said, "This was all done, that it fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 'His Name shall be called Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, "God with us."'"
