The Tree of the Knowledge of Good & EvilPart 2 GENESIS 1:3-5 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

UNFAILING.REALITIES OF THE LIVING GOD 66 But because He brought it in the way that He did, the people didn't want to receive it in the form that He brought it. That's the same way it is today, exactly the same. They want it, but they don't want to receive it on the level that God brings it. And that's the only way that God has of bringing it. And we cannot bring God down to our level of thinking. We've got to rise ourself to His level of thinking and meet Him on the grounds that He provided for us to meet him on. 60-0626 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

HEARING.RECOGNIZING.ACTING.ON THE.WORD.OF.GOD 12 In the garden of Eden sin was so beautiful until it attracted Eve from righteousness to sin. And in the same garden where there was a Tree of Life, there was also a tree of death. We would know it today as the law of contrast. That where there is good, there is evil; where there is right, there is wrong. And we will never, no matter what our environment may be, ever be able to shake ourselves from the presence of either. Because, Paul said, "When I would do good, then evil is present." The sinner will never be able to shake away from the Christian, the Christian from the sinner.

15 (Jacob & Esau) And how that, how it could come from that perfect, pure, elected, holy, consecrated father or mother. So to base it, that God calls by election... It must be. No matter how good your father and mother was, how nice they was, how much Christians your father and mother was, it still lays to you as an individual, your standing before God. 60-0221 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

I.KNOW.MY.REDEEMER.LIVETH 49 And this great darkness that's swinging over the earth now is nothing but to declare that light is pressing its way down… If death is hanging there close, what is a doing it? It's life, life a coming. The resurrection, the Easter for all of God's children is hanging low, it's pressing. The Angels are coming down. The great Holy Spirit's moving in. Darkness is taking its last toll, for Light will soon be here. 58-0406S The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

WITNESSES 19 No matter how much you go to church, your name is engraved on its stained windows… it'll never mean nothing to you, until you are a witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ by the infilling of the power of the Holy Spirit. You are taking somebody else's word. "Well, Bro. Branham, I know that Jesus is the Christ, 'cause the Bible said so." The Bible is right, but what do you know about it? It's an individual affair with every individual. It must be a personal witness that every person must have in order to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, is when His Spirit bears record with your spirit, in an experience of the new birth, borned again and you cry, "Abba, Father.” And God's got to keep that promise. Yes, sir. The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

20 Oh, my. If we had a world like that tonight, the Millennium would be on, wouldn't it? When your spirit bears record with His Spirit that you're sons and daughters of God, then you are witnesses of God. Someone said the other day, said, "Bro. Branham, you believe God by faith. Abraham believed God by faith and that's all that you can do. There is no experience with it.” I said, "Oh, yes, my brother." Said, ”What more can you do than believe God?" I said, "That's all you can do.” Said, "That's what I thought.” I said, "But Abraham believed God. By faith he believed God and God gave him the confirmation of his faith by the sign of circumcision. And we believe God by faith, and God gave us the baptism of the Holy Ghost as a sign of the seal of the promise of our faith.” (Eph. 4:30) The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

That's the seal of the covenant now, is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 21 You believe God and say you believe God, and haven't received the Holy Spirit, there's something wrong with your faith. 'Cause God's under obligation to give every believer that repents and is baptized, to give you the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And He's more willing to give it to you, than you are to receive it.So there's something wrong somewhere. You just got a mental faith and instead of a heart faith. For God's under obligation to keep His Word. 54-0303 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

II TIMOTHY 4:2-4 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

Sound: (Gr.) hugiaino To be well, to be in good health; metaph. used of Christians whose opinions are free from any admixture of error, of one who keeps the graces and is strong. LUKE 5:30-32 30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? 31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. 32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

FORMER.AND.LATTER.RAIN 9 Somehow it's strange, when it gets dark, demons possessed creatures begin to move. In a magazine sometime ago, some movie star said that night was made to live in. Night is made to sleep. And if you'll notice, you people here at the desert, it's your serpents, scorpions, snakes and lizards that crawl at nighttime, spiders and evil. Those who prowl at night around is evil. Night is very evil because it's darkness. And thanks be to God that there is a Light that we can see to walk in. And people who walk in darkness are blind, not knowing where they're going. But the children of the Light know because they're walking in the Light. And Jesus is that Light. "I am the Light, the Truth, the Life, the Way.” 60-0303 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

ISAIAH 9:1-2 1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. 2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

MATTHEW 4:12 12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: 14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; 16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS 22-1 "Light to those who set in the regions of the shadows of death," Matthew 4... Bring Light to the Gentiles who were possessed and condemned by God in their idols, but He come as a Light. What did he say? "Thy Word is a Light to my path. A Light to lighten the path to my feet to guide me." And today the Light of God is the Word of God made manifest, that's the Light made manifest. The Light is the works of God spoken by the Word of God brought to life, and it's a greater Light than it was at the dawn of creation. Amen. 61-1224 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

WATCHMAN.WHAT.OF.THE.NIGHT 30 In the regular course of nature, always that the approaching of the sun congeals the darkness together and makes it dark. It's darker before day than any other time in the night. Why? It's the approaching light that's a making it dark. And it's the approaching of the Lord Jesus now that's a bringing this gloom upon the earth. Did not He say, "When these things begin to come to pass, lift up your head, for your redemption's drawing nigh." The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

Palestine is a nation. The Jews have returned from all over the earth and are placed there to see Him come as God said they would, "Learn a parable of the fig tree when it puts forth its buds." He said, "So will it be that this generation shall not cease, shall not be done away with. It shall never end until all these things will be done.” 31 What generation? The generation that sees the fig tree putting forth its buds. Israel's always been the fig tree… 58-1130 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

THE.FIRST.SEAL 171-3 Notice, this rider is nothing but Satan's superman, a incarnate devil. He's a educated genius. Now, I hope you got your ears open. They was trying one of his children out not long ago in a television cast to see if he wasn't smarter than the next man to run for presidency; however, he's got a lot of wisdom; so has Satan. He tries to sell it. He sold it to Eve; he sold it to us. We've been wanting a superman; we got it. The whole world's wanting a superman; they're going to get it. Just wait till the Church goes up, and Satan's cast out. He'll incarnate. That's right. They want somebody who can really do the job; he'll do it. 63-0318 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

THE.THIRD.SEAL 265 Same rider now... This first stage, he was innocent; and second (Now, if you went a little bit higher, a little more than that, in the second stage the Bible said he'd be given a crown, and they crowned a man, a superman.), crowned him. And then the Bible didn't call him a pope. The Bible called him a false prophet. Why? Of course he must be a false prophet by his antichrist spirit that taught antichrist against the original Word. 'Cause if you taught against the original Word, it was antichrist, and the Word is God, Christ. 63-0320 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

EXODUS 15:8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

FORMER.AND.LATTER.RAIN 32 And remember what happened just before the coming of day? When the dark time comes, then the morning star comes out, and it's the brightest stars in the heaven, is the morning star. As soon as it gets real dark, just before the break of day, the morning star shines its brightest. What's it doing? It's reflecting the light of the coming sun. Science says that the reason it gets so dark is because that light is pressing the darkness. It's congealing together, and that's what makes it dark; it's the oncoming light. Who is the Light of the world? Jesus. Oh, not some new U.N. or program of the world, get your mind off of it. Get your mind on the coming of Jesus. 60-0303 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

I THESSALONIANS 5:4 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

WATCHMAN.WHAT.OF.THE.NIGHT 38 It goes down, then what happens? The sun is approaching, then the darkest hour of the night is just before dawn. Science claims it's the night, the sun approaching, pressing--coming on, and pressing, congealing the night together. Because it knows it's just got a little while and day will break. And just before day break, what comes out? The morning star. What does the morning star mean? He stands alone; he's God's watchman. He stands in the tower alone. The rest of the stars is faded; the moon's gone. 60-0722 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2

SHALOM 251 The 7th Church Age, all smothered out, with Christ on the outside. The moon in identifying it, all the darkness coming upon the earth. The Light pressing in now, begin to show what's going to take place. The thing will be destroyed, and the Light will come in and destroy it. And the Saints shall inherit the earth, the meek shall inherit the earth. The earth, the moon darkness will be took away. The darkness of the night will pass away, the darkness with their death and creeds, and away from the Word of God, perverted things that they're saying. And the Light will break forth upon the day. 64-0112 The Tree of the Knowlege of Good & Evil 2
