<TITLE>07. Par 26-30</TITLE>L-26 Now, we'll watch civilization travel from the east. China is supposed to be one of the oldest civilizations we have. And it traveled east going west, civilization has. And now, we've come plumb to the west coast and revolved back around. The sun really rises in the east and sets in the west.
Now, I want to ask you something. If the eastern people... The sun rising in the east certainly shined on the eastern people first. And they received a revival. And that was the Pentecost that had been prophesied for years and years, how God would inaugurate His Church and send out a group of people that would do great signs and wonders. And the time came for Pentecost to come.
They were gathered in the upper room. They wasn't discussing their religion. They were with one accord and one place. And the time came for the promise of the Father as He said through Joel, "I'll pour out My Spirit in the last days upon all flesh." And the time came.

L-27 And the Bible said, "When the day of Pentecost had fully come, there came a sound from heaven as a rushing mighty wind. It filled all the house where they were setting. Cloven tongues set upon them like as a fire. They were all filled with the Holy Ghost and begin to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave utterance." Out into the streets they went. And Peter, standing up, begin to preach to them. The time had come, because God had said so.
From that little Church went forth signs and wonders and everything. They laid people in the shadow of a man called Peter, a fisherman who could not even sign his own name. The Bible said, "He was ignorant and unlearned." But they knowed and taken heed that he had been with Jesus. And they laid people in his shadow, and they were healed, because God had prophesied through His prophets that these things would take place.

L-28 That was the breaking of the day in the eastern country. Now, he said, the prophet said, "There'll be a day, that it'll not be night or day." It'll just be kind of a gloomy, misty weather. The sun went down. But the sun, yet shining through the clouds, if it's cloudy, we yet walk by sunlight, but not the fullness, brightness of the light.
And then we've come through two thousand years almost of that kind of a condition, where we've had fine churches, organizations. Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Pentecostals, all different kinds of churches has come up during this time. And they've had enough faith to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, enough Light to look at the Bible and know that He died for our sins.

L-29 But what has happened? The people has said, "But the days of miracles has passed." Why? They didn't have the Light on it. They couldn't see it, because God said they couldn't see it. And they could not see it.
But the prophet said in the evening time the sun will shine: "It'll be Light in the evening time."

L-30 And now, here in America, the extreme western country, the greatest of the western civilizations, that I believe with all my heart, is now there is breaking forth an old fashion Holy Ghost revival just like it was in the beginning, with the same type of ministry, same signs and wonders, the same Divine healing, the same reaction on the people, just like it was in the beginning. For it's the same sun that rose in the east is setting in the west, and the time has come for these things to be fulfilled.
And I believe that that's exactly the reason you are seeing things go on the way they are today. It has happened a time. Look, when was there ever in the history, you people who are historians, when was there ever a time that a universal revival started since the day of Pentecost, of the phenomenal of Divine healing, and the powers of the Holy Ghost, the gifts of the Spirit? When did it ever happen?
