<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>54-0824, Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever, St. Nicholas Arena, New York, NY, 51 min
L-1 Good evening, friends. It's a privilege to be here tonight. To greet you again in this lovely big city here, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour, and to be back again tonight to hear our--my brother Baxter, as he was speaking when I was coming up... Oh, my, it seems like old times again to be back... Seems like coming back home.
I don't feel tonight, like we're strangers, I'm with fellow-citizens and pilgrims of the Kingdom of God, professing that we're pilgrims and strangers of this land, believing we have a better home going to someday, as one by one we cross over the great divide. It separates the mortals from the immortals, and it's called, says, I believe in the Scriptures, "That leaving those things behind I press to the mark of high calling in Jesus Christ." All these mortal things, we'll just leave behind, and press on towards the mark of the high calling in Christ.

L-2 Friends, we're here that the Lord willing for next, I believe, it's about eight or ten nights to be here before going overseas.
We usually make this our jumping-off place. Brother Baxter and I have did this now... This is the third time, I believe. And we're always glad to be in New York to a... 'Course you realize that this is just the outskirts of Jeffersonville, Indiana. It just runs up this far. You see? So my city has twenty-four thousand people in it now. You see? We've jumped up a whole lot from fourteen thousand. So you'll be able to find us on the map down there one of these days if it keeps on growing. But...
Now, I was talking to a man that brought me up just now from my room. He said, "I believe there's about seven million here." You know, that's almost the population of Canada. The entire... All the provinces of Canada. Many people here. Where the people gather together, they have a lot of sin. They have it everywhere. Not only in New York, they have it in little, bitty cities like Jeffersonville, Indiana. They have it everywhere.

L-3 This old world is just getting ripe for judgment now. When we see things that taking place like this at this time... Of all these different kinds of bombs and things. I... Hearing on the radio the other day, that where they can drop, I believe, four across the country here, or out in the sea, destroy the whole world. Just drop two or three down--out here in the Atlantic, and the first thing you know, there wouldn't even be an beetle alive in the whole United States, kill everything. All the buildings would be standing just like they are now...
I tell you, no wonder Jesus said, "Except the work be cut short, for the elect's sake, there would be no flesh saved." I believe we're near something. I'm not one of the people that tries to predict that Jesus is going to come this year or next year. I don't know when He's going to come and no one else knows when He is going to come. We just know what He said to look for. When we seen these signs appearing, then to lift up our head, redemption was drawing nigh. And we see those things now.
