The Investments

The meetings in Beaumont move to the businessman’s banquet at the Beaumont Hotel. Speaking to businessmen, Brother Branham takes his text from Mark 10, about the rich young ruler and his mistake with Jesus.

Here are a few facts that Brother Branham says about this young man:

1. He was a Hebrew.

2. He belonged to a church.

3. He was popular among the people.

4. He did not commit adultery, steal, or lie. He honored his parents.

5. He was a fine cultured boy, raised in a good home.

6. He was called to be an evangelist.

7. He was so rich that he had to build new barns to put his stuff in.

8. Jesus loved him.

9. He asked Jesus what he must do to receive Eternal Life.

10. He ended up in hell.

Here are a few highlight from "The Investments."

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

Mark 10:17-22


Bible readers and Bible lovers, when we really get a glimpse in our intellectuals, of what Jesus was and what He is, it changes our entire attitude. There is no one like Him...


Now there is not a man that lives, that's in his right mind, but what's always wondering where he come from, who is he, and where is he going? There has been many books written, philosophers has raised and fell. But there is only one Book that'll tell you who you are, where you come from, and where you are going, and that's the Bible. That's the only Book. Of all the fine books we have, you could trash them, every one. This is the Truth. Anything contrary to This is not right. "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never fail. Every man's word shall be a lie; God's shall be true."


But we can be a church member, and morally right, still not obtained Eternal Life. Not to know the Word; some of them are theologians, and scholars, and Sunday school teachers, Bible expositors, but that doesn't mean anything. Satan knows that Bible better than any of us. The Bible said, "To know Him is Life," not know the Word. "Know Him is Life." Satan also believes and trembles. But we've got to have an experience of a death, burial, and resurrection, from our old life, to the new Life which comes in Christ. It comes only by the Holy Spirit, the new Life.


What would you give in exchange for your soul? After all your buildings, and you--you leave it for your relatives to fight over, and everything, what about that soul and where you going to be? Remember, you'll be somewhere, thousands of years from tonight. This might be a time for you to make your decision.


Like the people of the day, they like the popular opinion, and man's praise instead of the honor of God.
