<TITLE>07. Par 23-26</TITLE>L-23 God proved to them and a vindicated Himself and got glory. How that He went down there in Egypt and smote the nation. How that He brought Israel out on the eagles wing and performed signs and wonders, because He is omnipotent, and He does the miraculous. Before He sunk Pharaoh's chariot, He give every kind of a sign. He give signs of Divine healing. He give signs and all vindications of His power: how He could save a elder son or take a elder son; how He could destroy; how He could save life. How He could perform miracles, He could do the miraculous... And how the sun and moon turned dark, how the hail swept the ground, how the lightning swept over the country and killed the cattle and so forth, just like it did in the days of Noah.
And it said in the last days, the moon shall fail to give her light, and the sun won't shine and shall turn black as sackcloth and look like blood. When she hides her face, and weeps herself, and sweats out bloody drops of grief, God will be on the earth, omnipotent, doing the miraculous. Certainly, He can. He is omnipotent.
Think of it there down there in Egypt, how He performed those signs and wonders and the things that He had done. He's God. None can take His place.

L-24 Notice, God performed His miracles. And He give Pharaoh a chance. And Pharaoh failed and refused to take his chance. There was nothing left. When a man spurns the mercy of God, there's only one thing left; that's judgment. And my dear friend today, God helping us, when you see the end of this text come, and if you've spurned the mercy that's offered you by Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, there'll be nothing left but Divine judgment. There can't be nothing left.
Pharaoh finally sinned away his day of grace, and there wasn't nothing left, 'cause the junction was at hand. God junctioned the time.

L-25 When Lot and Abraham, another time... When Abraham was to be the ruler of the world, his seed was to scatter over the earth. He had Lot, his nephew with him, which was a relative. And what a beautiful picture today of the cold, formal, indifferent church to the Spirit born, elected, called out, separated Church of the living God. They dwelled together on the same plain. But it finally come to a time to where Lot took his great group and went down into Sodom and Gomorrah, where they'd be popular, where they would take the choice of the land. And Abraham stayed in the will of God and took the poor of the land. Sarah, his beautiful wife, and Abraham stayed on the poor of the ground in order that they could serve the Lord.
God doesn't promise a flower bed of Eden. Don't falsify a Christian, and don't falsify the message by telling that everything's going to be all right, there nothing going to harm you, there's nothing going--ain't no trials or nothing. That's wrong. As a poet said, "Must I be carried home to heaven on a flower bed of ease, while others fought to win the prize and sailed through bloody seas?" No, sir. God doesn't promise ease and prosperity. But He promises grace to endure in every trial. It's the grace that we look to.

L-26 Abraham chose the way of God. He stayed on the mountain top though they wasn't much grass for his cattle. But Lot: a type of the backslidden world, the church who doesn't believe in the miraculous...
Then it finally come till those things wound around into God, until there had to come a junction. There had to be a time, for Abraham was the heir of the land. Oh God, why can't Christians see? Blessed are the pure in heart; they shall see God. Blessed are the meek; they shall inherit the earth. The junction time is at hand for Father to show that we're at the end time. See?
