<TITLE>04. Par 12-14</TITLE>L-12 Now, how much do you judge the Word of God? Jesus judged it. Whatever the Father told Him, He did it. He believed it, but us today, the Father can show us something and we stumble over it. I wonder if we could correctly be the children of Abraham then, who was--was strong and lingered on for the twenty-five years for the promise to be fulfilled, instead of getting weaker, he grew stronger. We grow weaker in one night's time. He grew stronger for twenty-five years, and brought to pass what God had promised. You see what I mean?
Now look, the world is a trembling. Today while driving in a taxi cab with a man... He was telling about how the highways has got signs out here. This highway will be a blocked off, used for military purposes in case of a raid. New York's a trembling. I just left Los Angeles: trembling. Why? Something's fixing to happen. We've spurned mercy. There's nothing left but judgment. That's all that can come is judgment. I look for something horrible. I'm not prophesying. I'm only got my heart open to the Word of God, and watching things as they're heaping up, something's got to happen right away. What would a conglomeration of mess tramped down humanity would take place, if the sirens would ring, and this--this city was to be raided. They don't have to leave Russia or any the other countries to do it; they can just shoot the missiles right over here and do it. They don't have to ring no sirens; it is done in a minutes time. They've already got it, test proved.

L-13 What's the matter with us, the Christians? We've laid down on our job. That's right. Science has taken men farther with his five senses than ministers has taken him with his soul, his spirit, which is super over his science.
I'd just like to ask you a question. Many of you brethren in here can go back with me to the old Model T age. Science could only... Now listen, just before I close, here's a remark I want you to remember. Science is only as good as it can measure. As close as science can measure, that's how powerful they become. And as close as the Church can measure that's just as powerful as the Church becomes.

L-14 Science, about thirty-five years ago could only measure to ten thousandth of an inch; in that they could make a T-Model Ford, with a ten thousandth of an inch piston ring which could give it the terrific speed of about twenty-five miles per hour. Up above it, set a spark plug, a valve to pump the gas up, the gas fired by the spark plug, but it lost so much of its compression as it went out with a ten thousandth of an inch, you could only drive it at that. A thirty-five--thirty-five miles an hour was an extremely good, fast T-Model Ford. Now, did they stop at that? No sir. They can go down to a hundred-thousandth of an inch now. They're cutting in their rule, measuring closer. Now, they can take that same Ford, or that same piston in a jet plane and almost drive it six-hundred miles per hour, with the same spark plug firing over the top of it. Why is it? They can measure closer, that nothing leaks out. The pressure's there, but your measurement wasn't close enough. They can even take that hundred thousandth of an inch and split an atom with it. Are they stopping? No, they're going on, but us, oh, well, we're satisfied with what Moody said, what Finney said. Them men were all right. They were Christians, brothers that's in glory.
