Where is the Scripture that shows that the...that Catholicism will deceive the Jews and get their wealth?
289 Now, “Just where does it say that–that–that the beast will deceive for the wealth?” It doesn’t say that. But we’re presuming that that was...Now, the other night, you remember. You look to the tape real close. I never said that’s what they would do. I said...See, the Catholics is the richest group in the world. There’s nobody like them. And what they don’t have, the Jews has the rest.
290 That’s where the economics of this country now...We’re right now living on tax money, according to Lifeline, that off of taxes (that comes right from Washington, D.C.) that’ll be paid in forty years from today. That’s what we’re spending now. That’s how far back we are, giving notes, see, on taxes that will be paid in forty years from now. The nation is broke. She is done.
291 Now, Castro, the only sensible thing that he ever done, was when he counterfeited the currency and paid off the notes, the bonds, and burned them, and–and changed the currency. That’s the only thing he could do. And there’s only one thing left for this United States to do. Now remember, this is William Branham, see, speaking. This is my idea. It’s only presuming, just looking at it in the natural standpoint, which may be a million miles off. I do believe that right there, in that money... “The love of money is the root of all evil.” And I believe that right along in there will start the ball a rolling.
292 Now, the Catholic church back there, from charging for mass, and so forth, holds the wealth of the world. You remember, the Bible said, “She was rich,” and how she was. And, remember, not only just on one nation. She is rich on every nation there is under Heaven. She reaches out. She has the money. Now, what they don’t have, Wall Street has, which is controlled by the Jews.
293 Now, and you remember, he got the money when Jacob returned (last night we find out) and become Israel. He really had the money. But his money wouldn’t buy him nothing, see, to Esau. Esau had it, too. See, both anti, and–and the one...See, it’s just as perfectly.
294 Now watch here. I said they might want to consolidate together on the money, and the–and the Roman power take the Jewish power, and of money, breaking the covenant. That might not be so. See, I know they’ll break it, but I–I don’t know what reason, ’cause it’s not revealed to me about what they’ll do.
295 But look. Now, if today, now what if today, the only thing that we can do, would be to do? If we are drawing taxes (if that statement is right) off of the currency, off of the tax money of forty years from now, you see, our gold is...We’ve done spent it. We’re broke. We don’t have any money. And we’re only living off of a past reputation.
296 That’s what the church is doing today, the church; not the Bride. The church is living off of a past reputation it got back yonder under the ministry of the lion time. “We are the Church! We are the mother Church! We started...” That’s right. See? It’s living off of reputation!
297 Methodist is living off of their reputation. Baptist is living off of their reputation. And Pentecost is living off of theirs. “Glory to God! A long time ago, when the saints used to dance in the Spirit, and how they...The Lord done this and that.” That, that’s something past. “We all got big now, brother.” Oh, my! See? All past reputation!
298 This nation is living–living off of a past reputation of what the forefathers was, see, and that’s the reason we think we’ll be saved. God never respected Israel on what they was, what they had been; what they was then! Notice.
299 But, now, here is what I think, what I–I think will take place. Now, it may not be so. I believe the time will come when we’re forced to make the issue. And when it will be, that, instead of us changing the currency...What would that do to the Philip Morris? What would that do to the–the whiskey companies? What would that do to the steel industry? What would that do to all the commerce? What would that? It would break them. They would be broke. But, if, “We can borrow that money.” You see how smart he is?
300 Then the nation sells out to the church. And then church and state is united again, and there she comes. See? That’s it. Notice. All right. Now, in this:
