<TITLE>08. Par 34-38</TITLE>L-34 The head of gold has passed away as Daniel said it would, the Babylonian kingdom. Succeeding that He said would be the Medes and Persian. They succeeded the Babylonian kingdom, and they fell away to who? The Grecians, Alexander the Great. And they fell away, to what? The Romans. And the Romans broke up to all the world, the eastern and western Rome, the two legs. And he said iron and clay was on the toes, the ten toes, the ten kingdoms. And he said they wouldn't mix, and they'd intermarry among one another, Romanism and Protestantism. And in that day when this thing exists, then the Stone was hewed out of the mountain without hands and rolled in and broke the thing to pieces. And it took the place of the image.

L-35 So, my brethren, we're having troubles tonight: wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes in divers places, perplexed of time, distress between nations. I've just come back from overseas, and I haven't seen a nation but what's trembling in their shoes. They don't know what's going to take place next. But aren't we thankful tonight that we do know what's going take place next? The Lord Jesus Christ shall come the second time in glory and majesty, and every one that ever was found written in the Lamb's Book of Life shall rise with their loved ones to meet the Lord in the air. Oh, what a marvelous thing. That's the reason we say our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' Blood with righteousness. All around my soul gives way, He's all our hope and stay.

L-36 "And at that time Michael shall stand, the great prince." Michael was Christ, of course, Who fought the angelic wars in heaven with the devil. Satan and Michael fought together, or fought against each other, rather. And now... And at that time," He said, "as many was found written in the book was delivered, and those who had done righteous..." Watch at this.
 And they that--and they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and as the--and they that turn away many to righteousness as the stars for ever.

L-37 I look at that sometime, I think... Brethren, I go out of a morning. I love to get up early. Don't you like to rise early?
I remember when brethren and I were in the mountains. Real early in the morning, around four o'clock, we'd rise up, look, hanging back there, and there was the morning star. It gets real dark just before the break of day. We see the darkness gathering now. What is it? It's light pressing against the darkness. One has to give away. All the creeping things that's been running through the night, when that sun comes up, they take to shelter, when the light shines.
Night and dark--night and light cannot exist in the same building. It's either dark or it's light. And light is so much more powerful than darkness. So is Christ so much more powerful than all the evil in the world.
Now, we're taught by scientists, as the light begins to come it condenses the darkness and the darkness gathers all of it's host together to fight against the light. But the light prevails and comes on.

L-38 And the Bible said in the last days that Satan would go about like a roaring lion. He's gathering together all of his enemies, all of his friends, our enemies, and congregating them together, heaping up under a big head, the mark of the beast: in the ecclesiastical realms, the confederation of churches, all in uniting and making themself a great organization, the same as Catholicism. And the world empires are uniting themselves together and forming up a big head over there in the political realms called communism. And the life of God is pressing on.
