What did Brother Branham say was like the “watchdog of the sea”?

• The stars

• The mountains

• The moon

• The sky

Answer explanation

Para 24

For instance, the moon, if the moon would ever move out of its place, the earth would be filled with water, in a few moments. See, the—the moon is—is rather like a watchdog of the sea. “He set its bounds, that it can’t pass.” And when the moon turns from the earth, here comes the tides in. If the moon didn’t catch it around the other side, it would cover the earth. See? So the moon stops and—and he turns his back to look around the other side of the world, and—and here comes the waters coming in real fast, and then he turns again. He is Jehovah’s servant. Sea stops and goes back to its place again, because it sees the perfect moving of Jehovah.
