<TITLE>04. Par 14-17</TITLE>L-14 And how that in the vision of Daniel, of seeing, the interpretation of the image of the beast and everything of the Gentile age, just how one Kingdom would succeed another until it come down to the very end days that where we're living now.
And to see in the middle east all these things rising up, these troubles. Little nations up there who has not been thought of or even spoke of for many, many hundreds, yes, thousands of years... Maybe two thousand years or twenty-five hundred, nothing has been said much about those little countries, until just these last days.
And the very valuable things that we thought was insignificant, places like the Dead Sea, and we find out that the Dead Sea has got more treasure in it than all the rest of the world put together. And all the Iranian mines and everything else. Just a little thing that England was willing to submit back to the Arabs and said, "There wasn't nothing to it. What did they want them old rock lands?" But they failed to know the Bible said, that, "She'd blossom like a rose and would bring forth her abundance."

L-15 How little, how men in days past and in--even in this day, how they misjudged things by not taking it from the Word of God. What a vital mistake England made then? What a vital mistake they give by giving back India her rights?
But they don't realize those things, because they do not read the Bible. And if that be true amongst nations, how much more is it amongst mankind tonight, who do not value their life day by day to read the Bible and see what God has laid in His Word for every man? And your attitude towards God and towards His Word...

L-16 During this time of the carrying away into Babylon was a very marking time. First, they were carried down into Egypt. Second, they were carried into Babylon, and the Gentiles was issued in. And then, the third, they were carried or scattered by the Roman empire, and 1947 on May the seventh, they were once more recognized among the nations of the world for the first time for twenty-five hundred years, the Jews were.
The beginning of the end, the fig tree putting forth its buds. The old six point star of David, the oldest flags that's ever flown on the earth rose to the flagpole again for the first time for twenty-five hundred years, marking a definite promise that God had said through the Hebrew prophets would take place: He'd raise up an ensign.
And when we see that waving over Jerusalem tonight, seeing God hardening the hearts of men like Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and all those that persecute the Jews and run them back to the homeland, we know the time is at hand.

L-17 Oh, what a day and what an opportunity that even the weakest of Christians has today to testify for the glory of the Lord Jesus. What an opportunity to do something that the prophets desired to do, and it's laid in the hands of the feeblest Christian, the little housewife. It's in her hands today to testify to the Lord Jesus and His resurrection.
And the Jews had gotten away from God, got cold, backslid. And God permitted a strange nation to come in which had been prophesied by the prophets, and would scatter them, and carry them away, because they had got away from God.
And now, if God so loved the Jews, and were His first chosen as a people... He called the Jews out, and yet when they sowed, they had to reap what they sowed.
And we're not expelled, or we're not immune from God's judgments when we disobey His commands. That's right. That goes for nations, or individuals, or churches, or whatever it is. When we disobey God, we will receive judgment for it. God's just and can do nothing else, but every man shall receive a just recompense of reward for his deed that's done.
