:''You know, we get up here as ministers, and we speak, and we're always giving out to the people everything that's in us. I preached a subject one time, where Jesus said, "Behold a lily, how they neither--neither toil nor spin, and yet I say unto you that Solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed like one." And I find out, the lily has to grow, day and night, spin, toil, and to make itself radiant.''<ref>65-0120 LEAN.NOT.UNTO.THY.OWN.UNDERSTANDING PHOENIX.AZ WEDNESDAY</ref> | :''You know, we get up here as ministers, and we speak, and we're always giving out to the people everything that's in us.

==What the Bible says== | |||
Revelation 5:4-5 | |||
:''And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. | |||
The Bible says that John was weeping out of sadness. One of the elders consoles him by saying "Weep not because the Lion of Judah will open the book. | |||
==What William Branham said== | |||
:''And when the... John wept. Now, someone, as I said last week, they said, "John wept because that he could find nobody worthy." It wasn't that. A man under the influence of the Holy Ghost wouldn't weep for that. Thought that, "'Cause he wasn't worthy," maybe John himself wasn't worthy. There's nobody worthy. But he didn't weep because of that. | |||
:''I believe he was weeping for joy because that he had seen the whole plan of redemption was wrote in this Book here. It wasn't because there wasn't nobody worthy, because there stood a Lamb right there was worthy. So he was weeping there, he said, "Oh, Glory to God." Listen at him directly when he goes to shouting. Now, but we find him here weeping because that he was so happy because that the Lamb had taken the Book for the--out of the hand of Him that set upon the throne.''<ref>REV.CHAP.5.PART.2 JEFF.IN ROJC 747-793 61-0618</ref> | |||
