<TITLE>11. Par -</TITLE>L-73-84 And look how he saw the image. And now, remember, the image... Now, this is home-place now. Look, I believe that the image that King Nebuchadnezzar made was of Daniel, a holy man. If you'll notice, King Nebuchadnezzar already had called Daniel, called him "Belteshazzar," which was his idol, and he made--made a image, and no one after Daniel had been throwed in this lions' den, and so forth, and he said, "No one should serve any other gods, and so forth, but Daniel's God." It was probably the image of a holy man, great statue, and everybody was to bow down to this.
But the church, Shadrach, and Meshach, and Abednego... Daniel being the leader, as Christ being the Leader of the Church...
And they was to bow before this image and do worship to the image. Notice. And you notice, in those times Daniel was silent. Amen. Oh, and I hope you get this. Daniel was silent, letting, they had to make their own choice.

L-73-87 In the day in the going out of the Gentile dispensation, there'll be an image, and everybody will have to bow before this image and do worship. Though it be holy as ever, you're not to worship an image (image-worship).
Now, notice. Oh, my. Right at the end Daniel steps in again. How marvelous. That night before the great feast of the concubines and so forth, there come a handwriting on the wall, "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN," across the wall. And the interpretation, nobody could give; it was wrote in unknown tongues. Nobody could interpret It.
They went and got their best scholars. They said, "We don't know."
They went and got all their soothsayers and astrologers. "We don't know. We don't know nothing about it. We never seen such language, never heard such in our life."
But there was a man. God had His man; Daniel was there, said, "Go get him," said, "for the Spirit of the Gods live in him."
So Daniel come up there, begin to read and interpret that language on the wall, and he gave... What was the interpretation? Not, "Oh, blessed be thou, O king, live forever," but it...?... a raw, burly, a flat rejection of him. Said, "You are weighed in the balance and found wanting."

L-74-93 Look, that's the same way. As that supernatural brought in the Gentile kingdom, so the supernatural is taking out this of the Gentiles. The kingdom was ushered in by the supernatural; it's going out by the supernatural. The walls of Jerusalem shall be trod, shall be... It was... "Gentiles will possess it until the Gentile dispensation be finished." Then God turns to the Jew. Amen. Oh, my.
Oh, friends, I wish we could get that right down good (Don't you?), have about a week on that one subject (See?), so we could thoroughly search it through the Scriptures.

L-74-95 That, watch, listen--listen close now what He said. "Jerusalem shall be trod down by the Gentiles until the time of the Gentiles be finished." The siege of the--of Titus, then come in, taken in Jerusalem. He said, "Now--now, you heard about the abomination that maketh desolation?"
"Yeah."
"Well, that's when the Gentiles come in."
"Yeah, we understand that," said the disciples.
"Now, the Gentiles has had their government now."
"Sure."
"Jerusalem under Gentile government then?" Yes, sir, the Romans, they still had the government in--in Jerusalem. And it started back yonder by the abomination that maketh desolation that Daniel spoke of.
