<TITLE>18. Par 177-183</TITLE>L-177 Getting warm, isn't it? All right, It's good for you. Notice, see if this is true. Brother, we could take it Scripture after Scripture, week after week, week after week, and stay on this, plumb--same subject for a year, still not pull it out of the Bible, all of it, and right on the same thing.
Now, for just a little preliminary here, we're going back and find out what rejecting the baptism of the Holy Ghost means to you, what it meant to them in the day.
Now, in Ezekiel the 9th chapter the prophet seen Jerusalem. Now remember, we're talking over in that space there, the Jews, just before their ending up. Now we're in the Gentiles, at their ending up. Then we're going into the Millennium. All right.
But now watch though, we're ending up the Jews now. The prophet foresees it. This is still a hundred years, about eight hundred years before the coming of the Lord, and it was prophesied by the prophet. Now, listen close while we read.
 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice,  saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to  draw near, and every man with a slaughtering weapon,  or... destroying weapon in his hand.
Now watch closely now as we read.
 And, behold, six men came from... the higher gate,  which lieth towards the north, and every man a  slaughtering weapon in his hand; and the man among  them, with white clothes clothed in linen, with a  writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went... and  stood before, beside the brasen altar.
 And the glory of the Lord God of Israel was gone up  from the cheribims whereupon he was, to the threshold  of the house. And he called to the man clothed in  linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;... (listen)
And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem,... (destiny to Jerusalem)... and set a mark upon the forehead of the men that sigh and... cry for... the abominations... done in the midst thereof.
 And then to the others he said in mine ear, Go... after them through the city, and... smite: and let not your eye spare, neither have... pity:
 Slay utterly old and young, both maids,... little  children, and women: but come not nigh unto any... upon... which... the mark; and he begin at the  sanctuary. And... beginning at the ancient of men  which were before the house.

L-183 Now, watch the prophet in the Spirit, taken up into glory. God said, "I'm going to show you how I'm going to settle it with the Jews, before coming to the Gentiles." Read the verse, or the chapter before it. Now, when he come in there, he said, "I saw..." First, he saw sin in the city, like he had never saw before, and he saw Jerusalem.
Now you remember, it's destinated only to the Jews, not the Gentiles, the Jew, and their capital, Jerusalem. Just like last night, we had it destinated to the Protestants; now, tonight, it's to the Jew.
He said, "Go through the city." Here come the men with slaughtering weapons in their hand, going forth to slaughter everything in the city. He said, "Now, just hold it, just a minute."
