<TITLE>18. Par 120-124</TITLE>L-120 Notice in the Second Timothy 3:8. Watch Paul speaking now. Let's begin with about... Let's begin at the first of the verse, and listen now real close. You that have your Bible, read with me. You that don't have your Bible, listen close. The...
This know also, that in the last days...
Underline that, "last days." That's when it's going to happen.
... perilous times shall come. (We're in it.)
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

L-121   Look at this bunch that we got today, rotten. Even in man out on the street, young man, pulling their hair down on their forehead, like with bangs like a woman. Perversion! Sodomites!

L-122 Did you read in this year, this month's Reader's Digest? Said, "The American people at the age," which I think it was, "between twenty and twenty-five years old, is already in their middle-age condition." They're finished! They're rotten! Science says that, that a man is in his middle age, and a woman, when they're yet in their early twenties. Their body is so rotten and given over to filth.

L-123   Oh, America, how oft God would have hovered you, but now your hour is come! You lead the world in filth.
... blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affections,...
No true love even for one another, man to woman, woman to man. "Not even natural affection." Filth, sexually!
... trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, and despisers of those that are good,
In other words, say, "You bunch of holy rollers." Someone asked the other day about coming up here to the church. Said, "Don't go up there. All it is is a big bunch of noise and carrying on."
See, "despisers of those."
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God;
You say, "Brother Branham, that's communists." What's the next verse say?
Having a form of godliness, but (what?) denying the power thereof: (the Word, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever, manifested, the promise for the day)...
Just exactly like Hananiah, just exactly like Zedekiah, just exactly like Balaam, on back, other false prophets.
Having a form of godliness, anointed... See?
Having a form, anointed, ordained ministers...
Having a form of godliness, but denying that He's the same yesterday, today... Denying His Word!
How did they deny Jesus in that day? Who did they deny when they denied Jesus? The Word. They were religious. They taught from their Bible, but denied the present-day Word.
What are they today? Same thing, anointed, preaching the Gospel of pentecost, but denying the present-day promise of the Word being vindicated, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." Do you see it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
For this is the sort are they which creep into houses, and lead... silly women laden with sin, led away by divers lusts,
"Our sewing parties and our so-and-so." Somebody come around trying to misinterpret the Word, and saying this, "It's all right, sister, for you to have short hair. Don't pay no attention to that nitwit. See? Or, if you--you wear this; it's not that, 'it's what comes out of a man's heart that defiles him.'" See? And do you realize that you are anointed with an evil, lustful, dirty spirit? Care, you might sing in the choir, with short hair, but you got an evil spirit. That's contrary to the Word. That's right. That's what the Bible said. And you say, "Well, I wear shorts. It don't condemn me."
"Whosoever, if a woman puts on a garment that pertains to a man, it's an abomination in the sight of God." The unchanging God said that.

L-124   Oh, so many things, how could we just go through it; our time would be away. But you know enough to know what's right and wrong. And how can I make them do it? How can I do it? Say, "Well, what you hollering about?" I'm a witness against you. Someday, in the Day of Judgment, you'll have not a corner to go into.
