<TITLE>07. Par 21-24</TITLE>L-21 And every prophecy, everything that I know of that I can see in the Scripture has been fulfilled, already waiting for the coming of the Lord. And as I said last night, I believe that the coming of the Lord Jesus, second coming, is past due, already past due. And like it was in the days of Noah, the long-suffering, God waited not willing any should perish. And He's just waiting, waiting now with His long-suffering that His coming already past due, waiting to get the Church in order so the second coming can take place. What about that friend?
What kind of people ought we to be? To realize that this day may be the last day that we'll ever be mortal. Tomorrow we may be immortal. This is the only day we may ever have in our life, the last meeting we'll ever set together, and work for the Kingdom of God. How ought this meeting to be conducted tonight then? With the very highest of reverence, that with all of our hearts, we're leaning to the Lord Jesus to give us every soul that's here that isn't converted, to help do something that'll cause the unbeliever and the lukewarm to look on and receive the Lord Jesus Christ.

L-22 It'd be a selfish thing. If a man's heart isn't out to save his brother, there's something wrong with his heart. No matter what condition, if his brother hates him, if his brother's against him, if his brother's tried everything he can to tear him down, yet that man's heart pulls for his brother. He can't help it. There's something in there that just calls out, "Oh, my brother, you're wrong. But I--I want you to be saved." And therefore you try with everything that's in you to get your brother to believe with all of his heart and come into the Kingdom of God.
And now, that's the kind of a meeting we want to have every time. I've preached to--to hundreds of thousands. And I've preached to just four or five people. But I wouldn't be any more sincere with five hundred thousand than I would be with five people, because one soul is valued to God as ten thousand worlds.

L-23 Now, before redemption could ever come, there had to come the Lord Jesus. And before the Lord Jesus come, God way back here... That just--that just makes the Bible so perfect to me. God back here, even before the Lord Jesus come, for four thousand years; and everything He done down through the Bible typed it up to Calvary.
Just think of that, that everything in the Old Testament pointed straight to Calvary. All the plans of redemption, all the names, all the symbols, all the worship, all of the tabernacle, all of the wood, all of the everything in the tabernacle, everything spoke of Christ. Wherever you go, whatever you do... God was back there in those Hebrew prophets and so forth, speaking and speaking to that time of perfection that when Jesus would come to perfect the believer. Just think of what that means, friends.

L-24 Could you ever stop just a moment? I--I wish God would open our eyes tonight. See? We are--we are really... Friend, I--I would desire, if I knowed I could live longer, and live at my regular time out, I would like to come under the anointing of God and never leave it till He takes me home. See?
To see how that worked and--and of things that have... What a different world it is. What a different inspiration. When you get under there, you find things that you--you just... It don't seem right. No wonder it makes your heart... Now, when you're up there, you just... You could move mountains. Or when you're down here, you feel all right. It's coming between the two is what makes it. There's where... You're just like dropping off the earth.
