WHAT DID BROTHER BRANHAM SAY ABOUT COMMUNISM, RACE RIOTS, EQUALITY & WE’RE ALL THE SAME? Having all things in common sounds good, but it won’t work. Our AGE is Laodicea. It means, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS, or JUSTICE OF THE PEOPLES. Everyone is demanding EQUALITY, socially & financially. This is the age of the COMMUNISTS where all men are supposedly EQUAL But it’s only in theory. Beware of that BALAAM TEACHING, that we’re all the same. RELIGION is Satan’s business! He doesn’t kill the whole thing. He just contaminates it, making it CONTRARY to the Word. DON’T FEAR Communism. FEAR CATHOLICISM! It comes like a Lamb, with FLATTERIES, UNITING all the religions of the world. But it’s a sneaky WOLF!

W M B ~ And the Bible said, “They made a image unto the beast,” the confederation of church, just what they got in right now, here in New York City.
And there THAT GREAT BIG MORGUE up there! And all you Methodists, Baptists, and Pentecostals, and every one of you, economical…ECUMENICAL PEOPLE out here, trying to do such things as that, and SELLING OUT YOUR BIRTHRIGHTS, to JOIN THAT BUNCH OF BABYLON.
What’s the matter with you?
Sure. SELLING YOUR BIRTHRIGHTS, LIKE ESAU did, for a mess of pottage. That’s all you’re going to get. That’s all.
“Formed an IMAGE OF THE BEAST.” Exactly.
DON’T YOU FEAR COMMUNISM. YOU FEAR CATHOLICISM.
“Oh,” they say, “it would COME IN WITH FLATTERIES, LIKE A LAMB. But,” said, “watch it.” Behind it, it’s a WOLF. It’s a SNEAKER. You watch it. Yes, sir.
Cause, it’s CONTRARY TO THE WORD. What the Word says has to come to pass.
Communism ain’t doing nothing but PLAYING RIGHT IN THE HANDS OF GOD. That’s exactly.
And why they have to do that?
God had to PERMIT COMMUNISM, so that it would make these, His Word, come to pass.

The Restoration Of The Bride Tree
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ The name, Laodicea, which means, “PEOPLE’S RIGHTS ” was very common and was given to several cities in honor of royal ladies so named.
This city was one of the most POLITICALLY IMPORTANT and financially flourishing cities in Asia Minor.
Enormous amounts of property were bequeathed to the city by prominent citizens. It was the seat of a great medical school. Its people were distinguished in the arts and SCIENCES.
It was often called the “metropolis” as it was the county seat for twenty-five other cities. The pagan god worshipped there was Zeus. In fact this city was once called Diopolis (City of Zeus) in honor of their god.
In the fourth century an important church council was held there. Frequent EARTHQUAKES finally caused its complete abandonment.
How fitting were the characteristics of this last age to represent the age in which we now live. For example, they WORSHIPPED ONE GOD, Zeus, who was the chief and father of the gods.
This forecast the twentieth century “one God, father-of-us-all” religious premise that sets forth the brotherhood of man, and is even now BRINGING TOGETHER THE PROTESTANTS, CATHOLICS, JEWS, HINDUS, ETCETERA, with the intent that a mutual form of worship will increase our love, understanding, and care of each other.
The Catholics and Protestants are even now striving for, and actually gaining ground in this UNION with the avowed intent that all others will follow.
This very attitude was seen in the United Nations Organization when the world leaders refused to recognize any one individual concept of spiritual worship but recommended putting aside all those separate concepts with the hopes that ALL RELIGIONS BECOME LEVELLED INTO ONE, for all desire the SAME GOALS, all have the SAME PURPOSES and all are basically right.
Notice the name, LAODICEA, “THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS,” or “JUSTICE OF THE PEOPLES.”
Was there ever an age like the twentieth century church age that has seen ALL nations rising up and demanding EQUALITY, SOCIALLY AND FINANCIALLY?
THIS IS THE AGE OF THE COMMUNISTS WHERE ALL MEN ARE SUPPOSEDLY EQUAL, THOUGH IT IS ONLY SO IN THEORY.
This is the age of political parties who call themselves Christian Democrats, and Christian Socialists, Christian Commonwealth Federation, etcetera.
According to our liberal theologians Jesus was a socialist and the early church under the guidance of the Spirit practised socialism, and thus we ought to do so today.
When the ancients called Laodicea the metropolis it was looking forward to the one-world government that we are now setting up.
As we think of that city being the location of a great church council we see foreshadowed the ecumenical move taking place today, wherein very soon we will see all the “so-called” Christians come together. Indeed, the church and state, religion and politics are coming together.
The tares are being bound. The wheat will soon be ready for the garner.
It was a city of EARTHQUAKES, such EARTHQUAKES AS FINALLY DESTROYED IT.
This age will end in God shaking the whole world that has gone off to make love with the old harlot. Not only will WORLD SYSTEMS CRUMBLE, but the very earth will be shaken and then RENOVATED for the millennial reign of Christ.
The city was RICH, ENDOWED BY THE WEALTHY. It was full of CULTURE. SCIENCE ABOUNDED. HOW LIKE TODAY.
The churches are rich. The worship is BEAUTIFUL AND FORMAL, but COLD AND DEAD.
Culture and education have taken the place of the Spirit-given Word, and FAITH HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY SCIENCE, so that man is a victim of materialism.
In every attribute ancient Laodicea is found reborn in the twentieth-century Laodicean Age. In the mercy of God, may those who have an ear to hear come out of her that they be not partakers of her sins and the consequent judgment.

9 – The Laodicean Church Age
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ The democracy is a good idea, but it won’t work. Just like COMMUNISM, ALL THINGS IN COMMON; it SOUNDS GOOD, but it won’t work. No. The…
God’s way of having a KING, like David was, was right, and you got one mind centered over. Like one leader and a bunch of geese, or so forth, you can’t take two or three of them. Then, you mess them all together, you come up with any kind of an idea.

And Knoweth It Not
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ The church just got started out of Egypt, on its feet a few days, and what happened?
Satan come along with his discrepancy in the person, the second Cain, which was Balaam, and he sowed discrepancy amongst them.
We know that’s right. THAT BALAAM, THE TEACHING OF BALAAM, THAT “WE’RE ALL THE SAME, we serve the same God you do,” fundamentally, he was right, because he offered a sacrifice that God offered; seven rams, seven bullocks on seven altars, and prayed to the same God just as perfect as Moses did down in the wilderness, just exactly the same.
But they were not the same!

The Seed Of Discrepancy
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ Now, there’s coming a confederation of churches. It’s already national. You know, you…?…And they’re confederating.
And there’s TWO GREAT POWERS a moving in the world.
You know what they are without telling.
There’s one, COMMUNISTIC POWER, and the other one is CATHOLICISM and communism coming together.
ONE AGAINST CHRIST, the other, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. Those two powers are coming together. It’s…
Every person in the world is going to be UNDER OBLIGATION TO TAKE SIDES with one or the other.
That’s when THE LITTLE HOLY GHOST CHURCH WILL COME TOGETHER. That’s when…[Blank spot on tape—Ed.]…the hall of critics for a long time.
And I believe that God is going to hang It in the hall of fame one of these days. Persecutions…

Experiences
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ There is a great picture I’d like to picture to you this morning. I see A LAMB out in the field, a feeding. The little fellow becomes nervous and he just…he wonders.
Look over in the reeds right behind him, I see A LION slipping up, real easy. See? Patting his tail on the ground, getting his feet ready for a spring.
That’s the church out there in the field. THE DARKNESS OF COMMUNISM IS PUSHING ALL OVER THE WORLD, closing in like a great SHADOW.
And this is the LAW OF CONTRAST. Take like before day, it’s always the darkest before day because the day is a breaking, pushing the darkness. And it’s the law of contrast, you see, makes it the darkest before the day breaks.
49-1225
The Deity Of Jesus Christ
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ “Thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My Word, and hast not denied My Name.” Now we have already mentioned how the strength was returning. It was.
The power of the INQUISITION had waned. People had left their home lands and demanded a FREEDOM OF WORSHIP.
The yoke of the hierarchy was being broken. The governments were finding it wise not to champion one segment against another. In fact, well meaning but poorly led people were willing to wage war to defend their RELIGIOUS RIGHTS.
Perhaps the greatest show of strength of religion in this age was the fact, that though France fell in revolution, the great Wesleyan revival kept the revolution away from Great Britain and saved her to be an instrument in the hand of God for many glorious years.
The preaching of the Word was never greater. AS SATAN RAISED UP HIS HORDES OF FREE THINKERS, AS THE ORIGINATORS OF COMMUNISM ROSE UP, AS LIBERAL THEOLOGIANS SPREAD THEIR FILTHY WARES, God raised up mighty warriors of faith, and the greatest works of Christian literature and teaching and preaching came from this era.
Never has its preachers and teachers been matched and never will they be. The Spurgeons, Parkers, McClarens, the Edwards, Bunyans, Meullers, Brainards, Barnes, Bishops, all came from this era.
They preached, taught and wrote the Word. They glorified His Name.

8 – The Philadelphian Church Age
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six.”
This chapter shows the power of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH and what she will do through organization.
Remember this is the FALSE VINE. Let it name the Name of the Lord, it does so only in a lie. Its headship is not of the Lord but of Satan. It finally ends up completely IDENTIFIED WITH THE BEAST.
The whore riding on the scarlet beast distinctly shows HER POWER IS THE GOD OF FORCE (Satan) and not our God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
In verse 17, it emphatically shows that SHE WILL GAIN ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF THE COMMERCE OF THE EARTH, for no man can buy or sell apart from her.
This is borne out in Revelation 18:9-17 which shows her involvement with kings, princes, merchants, ALL OF WHOM HAVE TO DO WITH ROME AND COMMERCE.
In Revelation 13:14, we learn that the beast SPREADS HIS INFLUENCE THROUGH THE IMAGE WHICH WAS BUILT FOR HIM.
The IMAGE that is made is a WORLD-WIDE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, wherein all the ORGANIZED CHURCHES WILL GET TOGETHER WITH THE ROMAN CATHOLICS (they are doing it even now.)
It is quite possible this union WILL COME IN ORDER TO STOP THE POWER OF COMMUNISM.
But since COMMUNISM LIKE NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAS BEEN RAISED UP TO BURN THE FLESH OF THE HARLOT, Rome will be overcome and DESTROYED.
Take note that EVERYWHERE THE ROMISH CHURCH WENT, COMMUNISM FOLLOWED.
It has to be that way. And let me warn you now, don’t get thinking communism is your only enemy. No sir. It is the Catholic Church also, and EVEN MORE SO.

6 – The Thyatirean Church Age
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ Now, now we find out that he sprayed this poison spray, and that spray was the spray of MODERN UNDERSTANDING, EDUCATION, SCIENCE, and CIVILIZATION, the very things that we cherish so much.
Did you ever stop to think that OUR GREAT ENEMY, in the natural life today among the nations, IS COMMUNISM?
What is THE GOD OF COMMUNISM?
Civilization, and education, science. That’s right, isn’t it? That’s what they live on and thrive on, is science, scientific, sciences, a god of science. Now if you would just…and with the poison spray of this modern civilization, science and education.

Power Of Transformation
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ RELIGION, SEE, THAT IS SATAN’S BUSINESS; NOT to kill the whole thing, but just CONTAMINATE it. That’s all.
He ain’t going to kill the whole thing.
Oh, not communists; no, no, THE ANTICHRIST IS NOT COMMUNISM.
The Bible said, “It would deceive the Elected if it was possible.” Don’t notice the iron curtain, but THE PURPLE ONE. Uh-huh.

God’s Power To Transform
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ Them people were slaves. They’re my brothers and sisters.
They were slaves, I’d say, “Let’s just join with them and go down through the street and protest that thing.” They’re not slaves. They’re citizens with the same rights anybody else has got.
IT’S JUST A BUNCH OF INSPIRATION COMING FROM HELL, TO CAUSE A MILLION OF THEM TO BE KILLED. They start a REVOLUTIONARY. Certainly, it is. IT’S NOT RIGHT.

The Third Exodus
☆☆☆☆☆W M B ~ Look at, in California. Look at the RIOTS. Look at nineteen PEOPLE BEING KILLED, RACIAL.
DIDN’T I TELL YOU, here not long ago, that that MARTIN LUTHER KING WOULD LEAD HIS PEOPLE TO A MASSACRE?
How many remembers that? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.]
It isn’t them colored people; IT’S THEM LEADERS STIRRING THEM UP.
It isn’t integration, segregations, and whatever they want to call it; IT’S THE DEVIL. That’s right. Not only to the white, colored; this is all of them. It’s the devil.
The mental faculties and reasons of man is broke down. There is no hopes. It’s beyond hope. The whole thing is a putrid-ated sore. The mental faculties of man; they can’t make decisions.
I’m not a politician. I don’t, neither Democrat or Republican. They’re all filthy. I’m for one Kingdom, and that’s the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. That’s all.
But how in the world did you ever see a bunch of PUPPETS like we got up there now, like that bunch of Texans we got in there? “Why,” they say, “whatever the people wants! If they want communism, we’ll give them communism. If they want integration, we’ll give them integration. Want segregation, we give whatever.” Did it…Where is man?
O God! That’s like the pulpit. Where is man, man that’s man, that stands for a principle? Where is women that stands for a principle? Where is a church that stands for a principle?
I ain’t got a nickel’s worth of time for a wishy-washy, give in, compromising spirit. A woman is a woman, let her be lady. If a man is a man, let him be man.
If he’s a president…Where is our John Quincy Adamses? Where is our Abraham Lincolns, men of principle? Where is our Patrick Henry, said, “Give me liberty or give me death”?
Where is a man that stands for what’s right? Where is the man that’s not afraid to speak out? Regardless, the whole world’s against him, speak out for what’s right; and stand for it and die for it. Where is our Arnold von Winkelried again today?
Where is men of integrity? Where is men with spirit? They’re so wishy-washy and gaumed up until they don’t know where they stand.
God, let me stand with the principles of one Man, as a minister, the Word of Jesus Christ. “For heavens and earth will pass away, but It’ll never fail. On this rock I’ll build My Church; the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
