<TITLE>02. Par 4-8</TITLE>L-4 My subject this morning, if we should call it such, will be, the message to the church, is, "The Junction of Time." And always in the days gone by, the dispensations has always come to their end, and we hit a--a junction. There's junctions on the highways. They junction on the roads that we travel in this world. They junction on this grand old highway that we travel to glory.
And always it takes the miraculous to speak of omnipotence. Omnipotence is the all-powerful, and it takes the miraculous to vindicate the omnipotence. And only the miraculous can do that. Teaching of the Word is a very fine thing. And we--it comes, faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word. But it always takes the miraculous to vindicate that the omnipotent still lives and reigns. We must have the miraculous.

L-5 And I believe that the church is now standing on the threshold of the greatest vindication of omnipotence that the world has ever known. There has been in my searching of the Scripture for quite awhile, I have found seven great junctions in God's Word. And seven is God's complete number. We... He--He completes in seven. He worked six days and the seventh rested. The world exists in its reign over the earth here, the church labors for six thousand years, the seventh is the millennium. And all these mathematics and--of the Bible are perfect.
And God always is on time. Sometimes that we are a little bit late or a little--thinking a little different, but that's always done for a purpose. But God is always on time with His message.

L-6 And so today, I believe that we're facing a great something that the church should know and understand, that we ought to know what all this is about, and find it in God's Word. For I believe that if--if it isn't in the Word, I'm just a little doubtful of it. But if God's Word speaks of it, then God, no matter how indifferent it might seem to our custom of teaching, it's God working out His Word. Many times it's contrary to our way of thinking, or maybe the way we have been taught to think.
But we have to recognize the omnipotence of God when it's performed before us.

L-7 Now, let's go back for a little while in our minds and study just a few minutes, for the past few years what's been taking place.
I believe as a minister of the Gospel that we are living just at the near appearing of the second time of the coming of the Lord Jesus. The second return, or second coming. The first time He came as a baby. This time He's coming as King of glory to take vengeance upon all who obey not the Word of God. And we are believing with all this great turmoil that we're living in today, as we look around on every hand, and pick up the newspapers, and just stand still, and drop our everyday hustle and bustle of this neurotic age, and look out and face facts, we see beyond any shadow of doubt that something's just about to happen.

L-8 And I believe that God never at any time, nothing miraculous or nothing ever taken place unless God foreshowed it by His Word, revealed it, placed it, so that man who fail to walk in it, couldn't--would have to stand before Him, and he would have to be--stand without an excuse, because God makes it so plain, that if a man is concerned enough about it, he will find it. If you're concerned...
You wouldn't eat soup with a fly in it. No, sir. You--you wouldn't--you wouldn't be--you'd be afraid to eat food that didn't look just right and was contaminated, because you know it might give you a--a ptomaine poison, or something, and would kill you in a little bit. And you watch about this body. But that soul, you let it feast on things of the world, which you know is contaminated and can only do one thing: take you to destruction. And no matter how well you treat this body and how good a food or how it lives, it's got to go to the dust of the earth; but that soul will live forever somewhere. I would rather eat contaminated soup, then contaminate my soul with the things of the world--at any time.
