William Branham said "''you let a drunk man get out here on the street with...his automobile. That man ought to have at least ten years in prison. You let a man go down the street this morning with a--with a pistol in his hand shooting around like that, they'd throw the keys away on that guy. They'd send him to the inner jails. And then a drunk man can come down the street. He's absolutely just as much in danger of killing somebody as a man is with a pistol, and he gets five dollars for it or something. See? See, he--he's, It's almost premeditated murder.''"

When Moses led the children of Israel in the wilderness, their only provision was | When Moses led the children of Israel in the wilderness, their only provision was manna, and water from the rock. Specifically, they did not have any wine or strong drink. (Deuteronomy 29:5-6) The result of 40 years of prohibition was that the "next generation" who entered the promise land did so sober. This is the first instance of "prohibition for the youth". So, if you want your children to enter into the promised land...don't drink. | ||

|''Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.''

*II Samuel 6:18-19 ''And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts. And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.'' | *II Samuel 6:18-19 ''And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
