<TITLE>10. Par 36-40</TITLE>L-36 Here's the way time started. At the first six thousand years of life, we moved just like this. And we never changed a bit until we got on up in the last hundred years and we're just speeding like that. Why? We got the same man with the same mental faculties.
Every scientific thing that ever was on the earth back there, was back there: the same things they're making use of today. The same man with the same brain, back there... He had the same brain that he's got now.
But all at once, something happened, didn't it? How could we say that this world could stand much longer? This world could never survive an atomic war. It could never survive a hydrogen bomb war.

L-37 They can explode one in Reno or somewhere out in Nevada, burst up a little grenade, like that. But what when this wicked enemy we got will break one here, and one there, and those chains of relays will get together, then what will happen? Let the war start.
Then I heard on the radio the other day that the biggest part of scientists of the world, give the world ten years to total annihilation. That's not Scripturally speaking; that's scientifically speaking: Ten years for total annihilation. That won't contradict the Bible, just what the Bible said. The heavens and the earth will be on fire. Just sweep over these deserts and everything. There will be nothing left.

L-38 Then where's your soul going to be at that time, men and women? Remember five hundred years from tonight, your tombstone may blow over right here on the desert somewhere which is way yonder, howling winds blowing against it. Your tombstone's there, but where's your soul? Now is the time to think about things.
We're living in a day when there's all kinds of cults and things raised that's raised up. That was foreseen and predicted by the prophet and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, for a few moments, let's settle down, put your heart open before God, and say, "God, feed me now." I do the same thing.
If you want to know, there's nothing on earth now but what begin in the beginning. There's no new things before God.

L-39 Now, back in the beginning, when the world first started... Every plant and everything that we have begin in Genesis. Amen. Genesis, the word "Genesis" means "the beginning," (I think that's right, isn't it, brother?), the beginning, when everything began.
Then if--if plants begin in Genesis, if man begin in Genesis, then religion begin in Genesis. Is that right? Well, let's go all the way back now to Adam and Eve. 'Course, when they come out of the garden, she bore two sons that we know of first, Cain then Abel, two boys.
Now, those boys, after seeing that they had been made mortal and was going to die, they tried to find favor with God. And they both come making a sacrifice.

L-40 I'll review a certain thing here I said last night. If God only required religion, if that's all he required, then Cain was justified. Cain come just as--believing just the same as Abel believed. Cain come with a sacrifice just the same as Abel came with a sacrifice.
But Cain's sacrifice was by works. He raised his garden, brought his fruits, the best he could find, by works. But Abel was justified by faith. He come with a lamb.
Watch. You'll see where fanaticism began. You'll see where every one of these cults begin. You'll see where all this confusion begin. And by God's help, may the Holy Ghost place it in every heart here this afternoon so deeply that it'll never come out.
