L-1 Very happy to be out again tonight. We will trust that we have good weather tonight. I have prayed to God that He would stop the rains. We need them awful bad, but we--I believe souls need salvation worse than we need the rain. Don't you think so? That's right. So now let's bow our heads just a moment as we speak to the Author of Life.
Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee for this grand privilege of coming together to worship Thee, this glorious, wonderful way that Thou has foreordained before the foundation of the world, that we should worship Thee. We can hear our Master say that God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him, must worship in Spirit and in truth. We thank Thee for these great things. And we pray, Lord, tonight, that the truth will be made manifest, the Spirit will get into the truth; and may we worship in God's provided way.
Save all the lost tonight, Lord. Our hearts just bleed for those who doesn't know this glorious salvation. We pray that You'll save every lost sinner here tonight. And those who are in need of the new birth, may He come like the rushing mighty wind from heaven as He gave them the new baptism at the day of Pentecost. May it repeat again. Grant it, Lord.
Then heal the sick. Many are needy. We pray that You'll heal them. And now, Father, as something new for the evening for Thy servant to speak on this Gospel terms of the salvation of man's soul and body, I pray that You'll help tonight in a special way. I ask these blessings, in the Name of Your Beloved Child, Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-2 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] ... day, many has seen the "Look Magazine," "Life," and them carrying articles of how down in Iran, so forth. And they've been bringing up thousands of Jews, going into the New Jerusalem, there across Trans-Jordan. The Arabs have the old Jerusalem, so in the new Jerusalem they have brought in, literally, tens of thousands--millions of Jews. See how the fig tree's putting forth it's buds?
Now, the Stockholm church sent a million Bibles down there, New Testaments, to give to those Jews. They never even heard of such a thing as Jesus being on earth. They know nothing about it. And they, reading the Bible, they said, "If this be the Messiah, if Jesus is the Christ, let us see Him do the sign of the prophet, we'll accept it." Oh, my. I just--anxious to get about a half a million of those out there, if I could, around Mount Olive, somewhere, in a outdoor meeting, and ask them that question. Tell them to read the New Testament and see what the Messiah was. And if He doesn't repeat the same thing, that I'm a false prophet. And I speak the truth that He's the Messiah of God. Pray for us, won't you? We need it very much.

L-3 Now, tonight, usually Mr. Baxter's... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
... there for four hundred years, in bondage, how Joseph, perfect type of the church today, perfect type of Christ, how that He was borned among some brethren, half brothers; and they despised Him because He was borned a spiritual man. Like the true believer tonight, being a member of the church, member of the same body, but a spiritual believer, rejected and despised. Amen.
Notice it. Joseph was borned in the family, the same family of Israel was one of the Patriarchs, but was rejected because of his spiritual life. He was borned a seer; he--he saw visions, and interpret dreams. And his brethren hated him without a cause. Prophesies always repeat themselves. You know that. Any scholar of the Bible knows. That when like in over in Matthew 2 where it said, "Out of Egypt I've called my Son," that was really referring to the Scripture where God called Israel out of Egypt, but is also referred of God calling His Son Jesus out of Egypt.
