"I'M GOING TO DO THIS
GREAT THING."
I CORINTHIANS
15:51
51 ¶ Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on
immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal
shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is
written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?

Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be when the Son
of man will be revealed upon the earth in the last days." When the Son of
man shall be revealed or reveal Himself in the last days, now, not the former
days, the middle days, the last days (See?) He would reveal. And now, we're in
the last days. Sodom sets just exactly, everything; the messengers just alike.
What happened to the little remnant was called out with Abraham's group? There
was One come among them in human flesh (represented in human flesh), eating
with them, drinking with them, same food that they eat, everything. He stood
among them, told the message. Then He said, "I'm going to do this great
thing."
And Abraham kept studying, "Is this it? I've been looking for a City. Is
this the King?"

44-3 121 Notice, what happened? Immediately she turned back to a lovely young
woman, showing in there, portraying what He's going to do to the Royal Seed of
Abraham to receive the Son that's been promised. She turned back to young...
Look. They went out into Gerar and what happened? Abimelech the king fell in
love with her, said, "She's fair and beautiful," and was going to
marry her (Is that right?), old grandma, and all them other pretty girls down
there: granny. "She's beautiful, she's fair to look upon." See?
God changed her body and turned them back. It's a mystery that's to be revealed
now in this day by the Son of man (See?), the evening Message. See? Turned
back... And that was the last sign they seen was what? That discernment before the
change of the body come. And before we can ever receive the Son, what happened?
"The trumpet of God shall sound; the dead in Christ shall rise first (the
new body); and we which are alive and remain shall be changed in a moment in
the twinkle of an eye (Hallelujah.); and shall be caught up together to meet
the Lord in the air." The secret has been made known; the Seals are open;
the trumpet sounded for Israel; the two prophets is ready to appear. What is
it? The Church must get off the scene right now so they can appear. He can't
deal with two at the same time; He never did. See?
Ř Then He said, "I'm going to do this great
thing."

man calls foolish is great in Your sight.

What--what man calls great, God calls foolish. I wonder if some of
our greatness of evangelism today, if God don't call it a bunch of
foolishness--trying to flower up big, somebody's, stuffed shirts and
everything. I just wonder what God thinks about it. Why, He'd have... It
ain't...
This--this Gospel ain't going to shake the world. It's not world shaking;
it's church shaking. It shakes the church. Right now in these last few
years, the church has been shook like it never... And the world knows
nothing about it. It wasn't supposed to shake the world. They're dead
anyhow. You can't shake them old dead carcasses out there. They're twice dead,
plucked up by the roots. How can you do it?

WHY.LITTLE.BETHLEHEM.title PHOENIX.AZ V-9 N-9 63-1214
We think of how God does things in unusual ways, because He is unusual
Himself. God is unusual. He's--He's the Supernatural, the Infinite, unto we
finite. So anything He does is--is so unusual. And God is so--so great, till He
takes the unidentified things of the earth to identify Himself by it.
We notice here in my subject of "Why Little Bethlehem," that smallest
of all of Judaea, the princes of the other cities of Judaea, why did God choose
to send His Son to that place? That's what we want to talk on. God taking the
things of the world, I believe the Scripture says, "By the foolishness of
preaching, it pleased God..." To take the unidentified things...
What we make great, God calls foolish. What we put so much glory to, God says
it's--it's--it's no good. And what we think is no good, God glorifies it.

Jesus said, "He's already come, and you didn't know it. But he done just
what the Scriptures said he would do. He restored them, you all, that received
Me and believed on Me. He done exactly what the Scriptures said he'd do. And
they did to him what the Scriptures said they would do. He's already come, and
you didn't know it." Are you ready?
I want to shock you a little bit. The rapture will be the same way. It'll
be so simple; no doubt it'll be likewise, till the rapture will come one of
these days and nobody will know nothing about it.
Now, don't--don't--don't get up now, but study just a minute. I'm sure enough
closing. The rapture will come in such a simple way till the judgments
will fall, and they'll see the Son of man; they'll say, "Wasn't we
supposed to have such-and-such... And wasn't there supposed to be Elias sent to
us? And wasn't there supposed to be a rapture?"
Jesus will say, "It's already happened, and you didn't know
it." God in simplicity... See?

And aren't you happy to be living in this day? That... See? Not only that,
friends, but always remember now; last Sunday morning where the whole thing
was based on, simplicity (See?), simple, humble. Happens in such a way that
people just go right on by and don't even know it happened. And remember, we
are looking for the coming of the Lord anytime. And when we...
I made a statement that now perhaps the rapture would be the same way.
It'll be gone, over, and no one will know nothing about it, and just come like
that. See? And usually... Just go on back to the Bible and look how it
happens like that (See?), even as great a thing as the Lord Jesus coming.
Nobody knew nothing about it.

Now, let's all say it together. We [Congregation says,
"We"--Ed.] do not look ["do not look"--Ed.] for

You say, "Nonsense, Brother Branham." Oh, yes, it was too--the
young. A wonderful promise and type for the royal seed of Abraham immediately
coming. Remember. Is it a promise? Yes, we'll be changed. They were
changed back to a young man and woman, just showing exactly what the church,
the royal seed is going to be done. You say, "Is that a promise?"
I Thessalonians 4:17, the trumpet of God shall sound and we shall be changed;
in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, be caught up together.
Why? Her body, their bodies had to be changed to receive the son. And our
mortal, vile bodies will have to be changed to receive the Son, 'cause we'll be
caught up. We'll have to be a different body from this, for we'll be caught up
in the air to meet Him. Amen. Doesn't con... Just right with the
Scriptures... You see? They were changed.

The Seals was broke. Why? In the last Church Age to reveal these truths. Why?
The Lamb broke the Seals and revealed them to His church in order to collect
His subjects for His Kingdom, His Bride. See? Oh, my. He wants to bring His
subjects to Him now.
What is it? Out of the dust of the earth, out of the bottom of the sea,
out of the pits, out of everywhere and every place; out of--out of the regions
of the dark, out of paradise, wherever they may be, He will call and they'll
answer. Amen. Amen. He will call, and they'll answer.
He come to get His
subjects. He revealed His secrets, and they saw it; and time is no more at that
time. Time has run out; it's finished. All right.
He leaves the throne of--to be an Intercessor as a slain Lamb to be a
Lion, King, to bring the world to judgment who has rejected His message.
He's not a Mediator.
Remember the Old Testament teaching now, as we hurry. When the blood went off
the mercy seat, what was it? Judgment seat. And when the Lamb slain walked
forward from eternity out of the Father's throne and took His rights, it was a
judgment seat. Then He become not a Lamb, but a Lion, King. And He calls for
His Queen to come stand by His side

Now, when we all know that when Jesus comes we'll be caught up in a
rapture. And we know our bodies will have to be changed first. And it'll...
It won't have to be just go back to young men and women, but it'll have to be
changed, because Abraham and Sarah's body had to be changed in a way that they
could receive the promised son. That's Abraham. His body had to be changed to
receive the promised son, after being justified, sanctified, filled with the
Holy Spirit, called by election, manifested God of glory in the midst of him.
And then his body was changed in order the receive the promised son.

But He changed their body in such a way, that they could receive the son.
And now, we find the next thing in order for the Church now, is a
changed body, not us old people go back and be young so much. But we will,
and we will be there young, just as certain. But we got to have a changed
body in order to receive the Son, because we're going to meet Him in the air.
Rapture will come, a changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye.

But in Jesus' Name, we receive His promise. That settles it.

If you have the faith that Abraham had, and if you are Abraham's seed,
you've got the same faith or you couldn't be Abraham's seed. Amen.

Let's break it down, a little bit farther home, let's look at Luther. When
Luther preached justification by faith, he was the messenger, the angel of that
church age, all right, of the Sardis church age. Now, notice, when he
preached, he set the Lutherans in order. Now, then, here went Luther spreading
on. And when Wesley come in, the Philadelphian church age with the message of
sanctification, why, it was hard for Luther to see that. Them Lutherans wouldn't
believe it.
And then when Wesley got them all settled down to the Pilgrim Holiness and
Free Methodists, and so forth, on sanctification, and along came the
Pentecostal message, why, it was hard for a Methodist to believe that.
Uh-huh, sure, it was. See, it's a...
Yet one speaks of the other one, Scripturally speaking. Enoch told of the
coming destruction by his rapture, God taking him home; he was a witness.

Stone, the all-seeing Eye, coming exactly
like the Bible said... And Daniel said he watched this Gentile age until the
Stone come out of the mountain that wasn't cut with hands. They had never put a
capstone on that pyramid. It wasn't cut by man's hands. It's God's hands that
cut the Stone. You see it? And what did It do? It hit the image right smack in
the feet, and broke it to pieces, ground it into powder. Hallelujah. What
happened at that time, the coming of that Stone? Up went the church
into glory at the rapture, 'cause it ended the Gentile dispensation. God ended
it up, the coming of that Stone.
