ACTS 7:48-49» 48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, ACTS 7:49» 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

2 «35 That was wrote in the Christian Business Men's Voice. And a minister wrote me the other day. He said, "I appreciated that vision, Brother Branham. It sounded all very good till you mentioned horses. Heaven is made for human beings. There's no such a thing as horses in Heaven." 36 Well, I said, I answered him back. I said, "Brother, I never said I was in Heaven. I was asking where Jesus was, and He was still beyond." I said, "But if it might help you a little, the book of Revelation, it says, 'When Jesus left the Heavens of heavens, He was riding a white horse.' And all the host of Heaven was following Him, on white horses. See? So that was coming from Heaven of heavens." 2) WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ SASKATOON.SK THURSDAY_ «E-56 How do you do, lady? Is this the next lady in the line? I guess we're strangers to one another. I've never seen you. Oh, His blessed Presence, how that we don't have to guess any more. Heaven is real. Christ is real. He's alive tonight. Now, lady, that won't hurt you. All right. Now, be real reverent. Look and believe. Now, lady, I suppose that this is our first time meeting. We're strangers to each other. I don't know you, never seen you. We were born, perhaps, miles apart and years apart. We just meet the first time. That's right. But God does know you. If God will reveal to me what you're here for, will you believe Him with all your heart? Will the audience do the same thing with all your hearts? You're here for growths that's on your nose. That's what you want me to pray for. That's right. That growth... Now, that is true. Now, 'course the growth is visible, but that's what the lady wants me to pray for. 3) THINGS.THAT.ARE.TO.BE_ RIALTO.CA V-4 N-6 SUNDAY_ «42 And I--I do not think that Heaven is a place that my mother used to tell me about. I believe that the Church has growed from that. To think, it used to be, a hundred years ago, or two, I think the old-timers used to think that everyone that died went up to Heaven and had a harp, and-- and set up there on the clouds and--and played a harp. Now, they knowed that there was a place called Heaven. But, they, if that be so, all the musicians would have it on us, you see. But we... But it--it isn't that kind of a place. It isn't playing harps, at all. I believe, don't believe the Bible teaches that. But that was a conception that they had before the fullness of the Word come into existence, or the opening of the Seven Seals, that's promised to us in this age, that we then understand. I believe that Heaven is a real place, just the same as this is a real place, see, for God started us in our spiritual growth in this place. And I believe that Heaven is a place just as real as this, where we don't set up there for Eternity and just set there on a cloud. We don't just strum our harp, for all--all from here, ever. But we're going to a real place where we're going to do things, where we're going to live. We're going to work. We're going to enjoy. We're going to live. We're going to Life, to a real Eternal Life. We're going to a Heaven, a paradise. Just like Adam and Eve worked, and lived, and eat, and enjoyed, in the garden of Eden before sin came in, we're on our road right back there again, right, right back. The first Adam, through sin, taken us out. The Second Adam, through righteousness, bring us back in again; justifies us and brings us back in. 4) M COUNTDOWN_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-11 N-3 SUNDAY_ «111 And it's the same thing in this day of astronaut. We have to come in the same way, come by the same way, by the same Message, by the same Christ, by the same Power that they received on the Day of Pentecost. The same way! It has been all the time the same One, because It's the same Door. And how do we get into this Body? By the Door. And Jesus is the Door to this Body. So we come in and are born into the Kingdom of God, through the Door, Jesus Christ. And now the Door is just about to close at the Laodicean, last countdown, and the Church is fixing to take its orbit above all tribulations, all everything, and soar its way into the heavens of Heavens, carrying the Church to the bosom of God. Amen. 5) ACCEPTING.GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY.AT.THE.END.TIME_ PHOENIX.AZ TUESDAY_ «35 That was wrote in the Christian Business Men's Voice. And a minister wrote me the other day.

3 «67 It's been about, almost two years now. I was... One morning I was walking in the--the house, and had set down in a chair. Now, this seems very strange, that God would include an animal. Like some precious brother, on that vision of Heaven, of that little carrying-up I had; I believe I told you about it, once, or some meeting. He wrote me a letter the other day, and said... Business Men's Voice packed it. Said, "It was... your vision was all right, Brother Branham, your translation. But, listen, it was all right till you said your horse, that you once rode, come put his head on your shoulder." He said, "There is no horses in Heaven, Brother Branham. Heaven was made for human beings, not horses." Well, I thought Well, usually, you see anyone like that, you have to explain everything, they're just trying to pick something. See? You can't explain God, anyhow. You got to just to believe Him. 69 But it might comfort him. I said, "Brother, I never said I was in Heaven. In the vision, I asked for Jesus, and they said He is still beyond here. I was in a state like paradise. But, that it might help you, the Bible said, in the book of Revelations, that, 'Jesus came from the Heavens of heavens, riding on a white horse. And all the host of Heavens was following Him, upon white horses.' So there must be some up there in the Heavens of heaven." 7) BE.NOT.AFRAID_ TUCSON.AZ FRIDAY_ «209 There they was, just like we are today. But you know what? He hadn't really left them. You know, the Bible said that He had climbed up one of the highest hills there was in the country, so He could watch them. And that's what He did when He left us at Calvary. He--He--He... When they crucified Him, He never left us. He didn't climb the highest hill, but He climbed Calvary, and kept on climbing past the moon, stars, plumb on into the heavens of heavens. Higher you go, further you can see. "And He got so high, till He has to look down on Heaven," the Bible says. Yeah. "He way up in the heavens of heavens, ascended on High." 210 His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He is watching us tonight. That's right. He's looking down upon this meeting. He sees our trouble. He knows our flusterations. He knows how sick you are. He knows what you been through. He knows what you're trying to do. See? His eye is watching you. 8) M THE.MIGHTY.CONQUEROR_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN SUNDAY_ «E-54 When a high priest... When any man has finished his works, he steps down. When I quit preaching, I set down, but not until I quit preaching. When you're a working, when you set down, your work is finished. Jesus set down at the right hand of glory, but when He seen this first martyr dying for the cause of Christ, the resurrected Lord Jesus brushed back the skies, and He must've raised from His Throne to give a special welcome to little Stephen to bring him home. There He is, raised from the dead. His domain reaches from eternity to eternity. He is far above every Angel, every principality, everything there is in Heaven. Why, His--heavens His throne is far above the heavens of heavens, God raised Him up. Saint Paul, when he was still Saul of Tarsus, on his road with a letter in his pocket to persecute all those people who were shouting and making all that noise down on--on his way to Damascus... He was riding upon his horse that day with a threat in his own throat. "I'll lock every one of them holy-rollers up. I'll put a stop to all this Divine healing and this nonsense going on here." But on his road down thought, and riding on his steed, he fell from the horse to the ground; and over he went, and he raised up, and there was a big bright Light standing before him that even blinded his eyes, saying, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest Thou Me?" "Who are You, Lord?" He said, said, "I'm Jesus Who you persecute." He saw Him in His everlasting endless domain. 9) S LIVING.DYING.BURIED.RISING.COMING_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN EM 1-14 SUNDAY_ «44 No wonder it brings emotions. No wonder the human heart cannot contain it. Oh, with our conquering faith we can stand yonder and say, "We're justified forever, freely," because He died and was buried, and God raised Him up again on Easter morning. Then God showed that it was accepted, all the things that He did. Every thing freely paid, you can go free now. "Rising, He justified freely forever." Oh, no one can never know, can never think of that great day when He rose up; and the Angels saw it; in the heavens of heavens the Angels sang the praises of God and rejoiced while the Old Testament saints in paradise shouted, "Hallelujah." "Rising, He justified." The heavens shook, the earth shook, paradise shook, and hell shook when that great Voice come forth, up from the grave He arose. "Rising, He justified freely forever." Oh, my. 10) IMAGES.OF.CHRIST_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN MONDAY_ «E-37 O Lord God, the Creator of the Heavens and earth, Who brought again the Lord Jesus from the dead, brought Him by the quickening Spirit of the eternal God, brought up that body

4 that You dwelt in and has raised it to the throne of heaven... He come to the lowest that there was in the earth, the prostitute, and become the lowest servant, went to the lowest city, dealt with the lowest people, received the lowest name, and become the poorest of the poor, even to nature; the birds had nests, and the foxes had dens, but the Son of man had not a place to lay His head. And yet that quickening Spirit Who honored that true Servant that made Hisself a servant that we might have an example to go by, It raised Him up from the pits of hell, brought Him by the grave, and brought that body out, and set it in the heavens of heavens, until He's exalted so high, till He has to look down to see the heavens; and give Him a Name above every name that's named both in heavens and earth... PSALM 24:7-10» 7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. PSALM 24:8» 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. PSALM 24:9» 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. PSALM 24:10» 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. 11) DEMONOLOGY_ OWENSBORO.KY THURSDAY_ «E-45 Here He is with the Old Testament saints. I can hear them holler, "Lift up, ye everlasting gates and be ye lifted up. And let the King of Glory come in." I hear the angels say, "What was that?" "Lift up, ye everlasting gates and be ye lifted up. And let the King of Glory come in." I can hear the angels holler, "Who is this King of Glory?" "The Lord of Hosts, Mighty in battle. He is the King of Glory." Hallelujah. I can see Gabriel walk out there with his chest throwed back, press the button: open come the gates. Down through the streets went Jesus, victorious with the Old Testament saints, right down through the streets...?... Hallelujah. Victory. Walked right up in the Presence of the Father and said, "Father, here they are. They all died in faith looking to the time." Hallelujah. I hear Him say, "Well done, My Son. Climb up here and set on My right hand till I make all Your enemy Your footstool." Oh, Hallelujah. Oh, I'm a half hour late. I don't want to be that way there. He's making every enemy His footstool. All devils is under His feet. All sickness is under His feet. All sin is under His feet. And we're in Him, more than conquerors through Him that loved us. 12) GOD.PERFECTING.HIS.CHURCH_ BINGHAMTON.NY SATURDAY_ «E-72 I can see Him marching, as Angelic bands beating and play, and the angels sing Hosanna. Here come the Old Testament saints and Jesus walking through the streets, right up in front of the Father. He said, "Father, this are those that died in good faith." "Well, done My Son. Climb up here on My throne, and set down in My right hand till I make every enemy Your footstool. For one of these days I'm going down to Binghamton, New York." Hallelujah. "I'm going to send You back again to get everyone that dies in faith." Amen. There He is, the great mighty Conqueror, setting at the right-hand of the majesty of God tonight, in His Presence, making intercession on anybody here that will dare to take Him by faith. And God will send the Holy Ghost down to seal you into the Kingdom of God. 13) THE.MIGHTY.CONQUEROR_ MIDDLETOWN.OH SATURDAY_ «E-27 And as they hollered back to them, "Who is this King of glory?"... And the Old Testament saints screamed, "The Lord of hosts, mighty in battle." You know the Scriptures. The great Angel, Gabriel, must have pressed the button. Those great big doors folded back. Right under the arch of the old rugged cross went Jesus and the soldiers of the Old Testament. Right down through the streets of Jerusalem they went with Angels, singing and screaming (What a

5 welcome home.), right down through to the great white throne. And He said, "Father, these are those that believed on You. I've conquered both death, hell, and the grave." And I can hear the Father say, said, "Set on My throne here, Son, until I made the last enemy Thy footstool." And Jesus climbed up at the right hand of the God of heaven on His throne on high. There He stands tonight. A few hours ago: 14) THE.MIGHTY.CONQUEROR_ DALLAS.TX TUESDAY_ «E-31 You know, they said, when Hitler conquered France, that he stood by the Arch of Triumph, while German soldiers, by the endless miles marched through, and the planes blacked the skies. They were all there to celebrate Hitler's great coming into France. How they brought Stalin into Germany, but oh, brother, when the church brought Jesus in that day: "Lift up ye everlasting gates and be ye lifted up, and let the King of glory come in." And the Angel said, "Who is this King of glory? And the Old Testament saints, cried back, "The Lord of host, mighty in battle, the great Conqueror. He led captive captive and give gifts unto men." The Bible said He did. 15) THE.MIGHTY.CONQUEROR_ DALLAS.TX TUESDAY_ «E-32 And you talk about a welcome home? As the Angels over them great pearly gates, as they swung open, and Jesus, right down through the streets of glory, with the Old Testament saints behind him, singing, "All hail the power of Jesus Name." And He come up in the front of the Father's throne, and said, "Father, here they are. They were faithful over a few things." He said, "Get up here, Son, and set on the right hand, until I make all Thy foes, Thy footstool." There He stands, tonight. 16) IT.IS.I.BE.NOT.AFRAID_ TULSA.OK TUESDAY_ «E-23 He climbed to the ramparts of glory, went on in above the moon and stars in His resurrection. The prophet said when He got so high up there, that maybe Him and the Old Testament saints on the road up... Why, I can see the Angels looking over the gate, and they screamed out in there. The New--Old Testament saints said, "Lift up the everlasting gates, and be ye lifted up. And let the King of glory come in." And the Angels beyond the gates said, "Who is this King of Glory that's coming in?" "The Lord of host, mighty in battle." And they pressed the button; the big gates flew open, and Jesus and the Old Testament saints marched down that street conquerors (Oh, my.), up to the throne of God, and said, "Here they are, Father." "Stand on my right hand until I make all the enemies Your footstools." And today sets all in power and glory watching over it just like the old eagle.
