<TITLE>15. Par 47-49</TITLE>L-47 Paul come along preaching; Peter, James, John, all of them preaching the Gospel: the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the finished works of God, the Seal of the living God. The Angel had done marked off every Jew that would receive it and cried. Look at Paul said, "I've not...?... received anything, but day and night through tears I have warned you, and preached to you, holding nothing that's profitable to you."
Look at that. What we need today is some more men down on their knees, not some of these dry-eyed professions, but a real good birth of the Holy Spirit. What do you think John Smith would think tonight, if he could resurrect and see our Baptist church in the condition it in. John Smith prayed all night long and cried till his eyes was swelled shut of a morning; and his wife would have to lead him to the table to eat his breakfast. Crying, I wonder, where we mark a Baptist preacher tonight doing that?
What about Alexander Campbell? What about John Wesley, to you Methodist? Now, you Pentecostals, what about Azusa street? What about the beginning, when you went back there all of one accord and one place, and prayed until God laid you out under the power of the Holy Spirit? You couldn't even have a song book; you said it would be too much worry. What would Azusa street say today to see you raise up here with a painted, and fixed up, and running around from place to place, and proselyting; it'd be a disgrace to them saints. Amen. I know that's kindy hard, but, brother, it's the truth. Amen

L-48 Now, that's when the Jews received the Holy Ghost. And those people who had a chance to hear it, God speaking through the preachers under inspiration, preaching the Gospel to them, even when they didn't even know what they were saying. They were preaching the Gospel to those Jews, and they rejected it. God preached the Gospel down through the age for about, from A.D. thirty-three to ninety-six; still the Jews rejecting it. God turned to the Gentile, and then the mercy of Angel--Angel of mercy left all those Jews, and one of them went to the Gentile church; Paul said, "Lo, we turn to the Gentiles, they will hear it," and went to preaching to the Gentiles.
Then when the great time come, all the big confederation of churches come together and went into the city, and Titus besieged the city, and for years he kept them in there two or three years, till they starved to death, and boil their own children, and eat it. And then they slaughtered them when they come in, so they didn't have pity on nothing, to fulfill what Ezekiel said. Utterly destroyed, the blood run down; the city was burnt; and the stones not one left on another, because God sent the finished work from Calvary, and people turned a deaf ear to it, and the devil bored their ear; and they are that way yet today. Amen.

L-49 You said, "That's... Now, what about the Gentiles." Let's turn over here to Revelations the 7th chapter, and we'll see where the Gentiles was prophesied for this day. Watch, 7th chapter of Revelation, the prophecy given for the Gentile church.
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds...
And I saw another angel coming from the east, having the seal of the living God:... said to the four angels... hold the wind... until we have sealed the servants of our God in their forehead.
And I heard the number of them was sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty-four thousand... all of the tribes of the children of Israel.
Of the tribes of... of the tribes of Dan... twelve thousand... tribes of Aser... twelve thousand...
... tribes... Zabulon... twelve thousand... (And twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve times twelve is a hundred and forty-four thousand, all of the children of Israel.)
