<TITLE>12. Par 40-44</TITLE>L-40 Now, we're living... And anyone sensible knows that we're living in the shadows of some great destruction. I seen a scene one day of a lamb out bleating in a field. And the little fellow got nervous all at once. No one could see nothing. Why? This little lamb just felt uneasy and just kept looking around. He didn't know what to do. He'd reach down and get his mouth full of grass, and he'd look around. He didn't know what to do. Walking through the glass right not far from him come a big black mane lion slipping up. He couldn't see it. There was no way for him to see it, but instinct told that little lamb that danger was at hand. He was nervous. He was restful. Hadn't shot the lamb--lion, he'd have got the lamb. But there was the lion slipping up on this little, poor little fellow out there in the field. And he--he couldn't see it; he couldn't hear it. But there was instinct in him that told him that there was danger near.

L-41 Look at little ducks. They go up here in your northland. In the--in the springtime, they fly up there. They get on the marshy ponds, and there they lay their eggs and hatch out their little ones. All summer they're on that pond. Out of that little duck, there's a drake, a little drake born that's actually borned a leader. Every duck on the pond knows he's a leader. They know it.
And just as soon as the first little cold breeze begins to set in in the early September, and that little frost begins to hit the top of the mountains yonder in there. That little drake will run right out on the middle of that pond, stick that little honker of his up in the air, and honk four or five times, and every duck on the pond will come to him. That's right. And what will he do? He will...

L-42 He's never been off of that pond. He don't know nothing else but that pond; that's all he knowed. He was born there that spring. He's been raised and fed on that pond. He never was off of it. But he will raise right up there and go just as straight to Louisiana as he can go without an compass, without nothing. Why? It's instinct.
Every duck knows their leader. They know he's the leader. No matter which way he goes, they'll follow him. Ducks if with instinct know how to follow their leader, but men with the Holy Ghost fails to follow his Leader. If a duck ought to know and has sense enough to know to follow his leader from danger to safety, how much more ought a Christian to follow the Leader, the Holy Spirit, that'll lead you from danger.

L-43 The whole world's a shaking. I go into Germany. "Oh, what will we do." I go into India, "What are we going to do?" I go into Switzerland, everywhere. "What are we going to do?" The whole world is shaking.
The United States is shaking. The great bureaus and so forth in the great Pentagon, and all of that investigating supernatural things. Flying saucers, what are they? Oh, they say, "We seen little men in them," all kinds of stories. They try to deny it, but they're there. Why? God said that there'd be signs in the heavens above and in the earth. We got it. They're afraid.

L-44 Last week you seen the big lines in the paper, all through Tennessee and down there. I seen in your paper the other night where this general said that a--an attack on the United States was easy to happen. Sure, certainly. Their getting out private watchers to watch the skies for planes. What's the matter? Everybody's shaking.
They're trying now, figuring on moving the White House and all its cabinets down in Kentucky, back into them caves and things. What's the matter? The lamb is a shaking because the lion is coming up. Everybody knows that's sensible and got good mental powers and reasonings, know that something's fixing to happen.
And if you'll look in this blessed old God's Book, it predicts these things to be. We're here at the end road. And friends, it behooves you to set down and take inventory of yourself and to be sure.
