<TITLE>13. Par -</TITLE>L-124-100 We are living in the days that God spoke would come. And we're living in the last days. And we're living in a time, and men... Regardless of what we try to think about it, God's Word says that we are predestinated. That's right. And what God has called will come to God; and what God doesn't call will not come to God. God calls, and they refuse the call; they refuse... Now, I don't say God condemns anybody; He's just not willing that all should--that any should perish, but all might come to repentance. But in order to be God, He--He knew in the beginning that they wasn't going to come. Yet He give them a chance, but they wouldn't come.
How... If He doesn't know that, how did He know we'd have horseless carriages? How'd He know these times would come like we have now? Why'd He say, "Men would be heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures"? Why does all the prophets predicted all these other things that would come plumb from the beginning? God knowed everything. He knows what will be. And there's men in there that God looked down through time and said, "They won't come." And they're just condemned of that condemnation, because they chose it themselves. Amen. There you are.

L-125-102 I believe, my brother, sister (I say this with godly respect and with a fear of God in my heart.), I believe America's sunk. She's demoralized. She's gone low to stooping. It's a pity.
Just think here, as I say in--in answering this Scripture, seven women grab ahold of one man. In the First World War--the Second World War... I've got a--a clipping at home out of the newspaper. You read it yourselves. Said, "What's happened to the morals of our American women? Two out of every three soldiers was divorced by their wives that went overseas in the first six months." Two out of three was divorced. These women just took off and run out. Why is it? If you'll understand, friends, it's the spirit of time.

L-125-104 We've got to get in the spirit of the last days when the last days are here. You go to a dance hall, you've got to get in the spirit of dancing, or they won't dance. You go to the church, you've got to get in the Spirit of worship before you can worship. The world's got to get in the spirit of the last days before the last days can come, and we're in the spirit of the last days. And God's promised that these things would be here, and that's what we've got. We're in the last days. And men and women are setting asleep and don't realize it.
And the morals... I met a young boy here the other day over in... Oh, it was sometime ago; it was this last fall. And we were coming into a city. And he was telling me, a young high school boy that was married. He said, "I married this girl, 'cause she was a good girl, and had to marry her before she completed high school." Said, "We haven't had a one turned out a virgin, as far as I know in high school for years around here." See? Just so demoralized...

L-125-106 And down in the--California I went through the streets in places where that the policemen would tell you to keep off the street. There's more danger for a man to pass through the street than it would be a woman. Dark alleys... Oh, God, have mercy. Don't you know the Bible said those things would come?
And just before He give the shadow of it in Sodom and Gomorrah, and went down there, the same thing tooken place--taken place, rather. And God sent fire down and burnt the place up. A very signpost to show that the world over, when it come to that place, would receive the very [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] thing.
