Look. When He was here on earth, how many knows that that was the Pillar of Fire that followed the children of Israel in the wilderness, that It was Christ, the Angel of the covenant? All right. And how many knows that that was Jesus in Jesus, that same Spirit? Look, when they questioned Him, Saint John 6, calling your^?^attention to it. They said, “You say you’re greater than Abraham?” And said, that, “Why, you’re only fifty years old, yet.”
He said, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” I AM was in the burning bush. Is that right? A Pillar of Fire^When He was here on earth, He said, “I came from God, and I go to God.” Did He say it? And then, if He came from the Pillar of Fire, He returned back to it again.
After His death, burial, and resurrection, Saint Paul was on his road down to Damascus and big bright Light struck in his face and blinded him. None of the rest of them saw It. Paul saw It. It blinded him; he fell on the ground. What is this Pillar of Fire, again? “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?”
“Who are You, Lord?”
“I’m Jesus.” Is that right?

E-56 When Peter was in prison, Who was It in that Light, walked before him, opened the door? Surely it was. He returned back to the Pillar of Fire. That was in that day. Here He is the same today. Here’s His picture, even taken by the mechanical eye of the camera. It isn’t psychology. It’s the power and the resurrection of the living Christ, Who remains the same from the Old Testament, New Testament, and today just the same. You say, “Brother Branham, can I depend on that?” The vine will bring forth the same fruit. If that was the Holy Ghost, that Pillar of Fire in Christ that made Him discern spirit and do that, if He’s in us tonight as we say He is, He will do the same or He ain’t the same Christ.
Here He is as millions of the church knows it. Millions of the church people knows it. Now the scientific world knows it. One hangs in Washington, D. C., in the Religious Hall of Art,the only supernatural being was ever photographed in all the world. George J. Lacy of the FBI, Fingerprint and Documents, here in Houston, Texas, examined it. It’s right, and put his own You see the write up on it, on the book. That’s true. Yes, sir. The only

E-57 And in Germany they said they wanted to see if they could take the picture. And they stood there, and we got a great breakfast where them Dutch Reform, and Lutheran, and all kinds of ministers, and they was questioning me. And this German said, “Can I take the pictures?” (At Lausanne.) One of those great big German cameras with the Poloroid. I said, “He might permit it, sir. I do not know. He did in America two or three times.” I said, “He might do it. I don’t know.” So it^And I said, “If He starts^”
He said, “Can I take the picture?”
I said, “It isn’t a flash?”
He said, “No, sir, it isn’t a flash. It’s just a still picture; they don’t have to have a flash.”
I said, “All right, ’cause I don’t want to see a flash, and don’t take pictures while it’s going on, ’cause it’s a Light Itself.”
And so_just then, I felt It coming, I said, “All right, sir. Here He is.” And stood up, I said, “You standing there with that Roman collar on like a priest. I said, “You’re not a priest. You’re a leader of thirty-two thousand communists.”
And he fell across the plat_his table like that. Said, “My God, that’s right, mister.”
I said, “You’re not a German, and neither are you a Swiss, but you’re an Italian.”
Said, “That’s right.”
I said, “The reason you never eat your breakfast is because that you got stomach ulcers.”
He said, “God, have mercy on me.” And right there, God healed him. That big German camera taken the picture just as fast as it could. And that German rushed right down, and put them in the acid, and brought it forth. Here was the Holy Ghost, the Pillar of Fire, coming down. Here’s where It anointed, and here’s where It went back. Fifty thousand received Christ as personal Saviour. Certainly. He remains the same.
