<TITLE>08. Par -</TITLE>L-161-77 The trouble of it is today (Some of you old-timers know this.) we got too much Hollywood evangelism (That's right.): too much of that with a whole lot of racket and carrying on, a lot of glamour, and everything like that, and tooting horns, and so forth and, "Who will stand up and accept Christ as personal Saviour? God bless you, brother; you go to heaven right now." That's a lie. That's a lie.
"Except a man be born again..." And if he's born again, the same blessing that come to him there will come to him here. And we've been through that over and over through the Scriptures in the last week and find out that in the eastern people, when the Holy Spirit fell upon the Jews, which were an oriental, eastern people, the Holy Spirit fell with great signs and manifestations. The Bible said there'd be almost a--a time where you couldn't even tell, like dark or day. It was kind of a cloudy day, plumb on until the last part of the evening. And then the sun would come out a few minutes in the last evening. "It will be Light in the evening." Is that right? Well, that's the western people, the Gentiles, receiving the same Holy Spirit that the Jews received back there with the same signs and manifestations. That's it.

L-161-79 And 'course, people, the world's going to call you a fanatic, cracked at the head. The Bible... Jesus said they would do it. You're a peculiar people, and you are odd because it's so much different.
I notice it in my own neighborhood at home, the people there, they'll... Even my little children, we try to keep them clean and live decent as can be, but you can watch the neighbors make a difference in the children. See? They make a difference.
And I know; I have a way of knowing things (and you know that; you've seen it in meetings), know that the pastors of the city say, "Well now, Billy's a good boy; we have nothing against him. But, you see, that's just a little different class of people than what we are." Thank God. That's right. Thank God. That's the mark. There's the mark we're talking about.

L-162-82 Look last night, when the Holy Spirit predicted, nine hundred years before the Jews received the Holy Ghost, and told them what it would be, "The inkhorn--Man with the inkhorn writer went through the midst of Jerusalem and set a mark in their forehead." Is that right? Spoke of it before the church was condemned by God. And Titus besieged the walls of Jerusalem in A.D. 96, and burnt the city. And there wasn't one stone left upon another one, according to the prophecy. And today, the only thing they got left of the temple is an old wall laying there where they heaped up the stones, and it's rubbed slick where the Jews weep and wail there at the wailing wall, the only thing left of the temple. And the Moslem of Omar stands at the same place.
And Jesus said, as spoken by the prophet Daniel, "When you see the abomination that maketh desolation standing in the holy place," then He's underlined in parenthesis: "Let him that readeth understand." See? That's right. And there it was. And He told how many day--times it'd be until the Gentiles would be... dispensation would be cut off. They trod the walls down, then God would return to the Jews. And we're right at that time. Here's the Jews returning back by the thousands in the last few years. And you know how we went through it last night, how the Scripture perfectly, just like reading a newspaper, and more plainer, 'cause you get more sense out of it. Then...
