And may the Lord add His blessings to His Word. The Angel of the Lord, coming to Paul in the hour of distress…Now, do you believe that Angels die? They can’t die. They’re immortal beings. They are free from death. They cannot die. Now, then the Angel that stood with Paul is still somewhere in existence tonight. The God that was—met Paul on the road down to Damascus and shone around him like a big Light, that same Lord Jesus is alive and risen tonight. There was a Light that shone around. Is that right? A Light, perhaps, maybe the same Light that the children of Israel followed through the wilderness: a fire Light, Pillar of Fire, that led them in the darkness. I believe He’s here tonight. I believe He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. And I—His works…Now, you can say, “You can believe that, Brother Branham.” That would be a theology. But if God confirms that to be the truth, then it’s no longer theology, it’s the truth if it is. It becomes a reality.
