<TITLE>04. Par 12-15</TITLE>L-12 The book of Joel here, the prophet, this sign that he saw was concerning, looked like a tree, or--or... The heritage of the Lord has always been considered a vine or a tree. I believe it was called a vine in the Old Testament. And over in the New Testament, we hear Jesus speaking much about it. He said, "When you see the fig tree putting forth bud and all the other trees, know the time is near," speaking of the second coming of Christ, that the time would be at hand of the budding of the trees.
Over in the Old Testament also, we find where that the two trees, a wild olive tree and the tame olive tree, and how that the oil was coming through the censer pipes into--to--out of these trees into the candlesticks or the lampstands.

L-13 Then we find again, that--that Jesus referring to it, over in the New Testament. And over in the book of Revelations, we find it again as a vine or a tree. And Israel was God's vine. And all things that we speak of and all things today...
Now, we're living, to my honest opinion... And I would not say anything this way, Christian friends, unless I truly believe that I understand what I'm speaking of. Because knowing that I--in contact, world around, with about ten million people. And they see these things that the Holy Spirit says at night and--and in the day, and how they come to pass. If they watch me speaking on something, and hang on to the words that was... So I'm very careful of what saying, what I--I would say, knowing that it might cast a stumbling block in someone's way.
But if I believe something and know it to be the truth, then I will be--and would not say it, then God would hold me responsible for it in the end time.

L-14 Now, all these things that we see happening today, is--is nothing on the earth that is new. Everything has been before. And if you'll notice, the day that we're living in different days of cults, and isms, and so forth. Those things are not new. They've always been. They've been in different forms.
But sometime, I've said when I come back from overseas, instead of having just a short meeting, I've tried it, to make the preparations so long... But now, by God's help, I want to do it. I want to come back, and set a meeting, and stay there for six or eight weeks before I leave. Just stay there until it's--God says it's enough, and do some teaching from the Scripture.

L-15 Now, these spirits that you see moving, anything today, just like a government, a church or anything, it--it's controlled by a spirit. Organizations are controlled by a spirit. Church organizations are controlled by a spirit. Churches are controlled by spirits. Individuals are controlled by spirits. Nations are controlled by spirits. And spirit was made, before the cosmic matters and life, that were made. God made man in His own image before He put him in the five senses. We all are acquainted with that. God's first man was made in His image, which was a spirit man, not flesh.
And He created He them, male and female. And in the book of Genesis everything starts out. And in the book of Revelations it ends: beautiful picture, if you'll get down studying it.
