<TITLE>11. Par 48-51</TITLE>L-48 And now, when he's down he is just a bird, but when he's... He was setting with David. He said, "David, do all that's in your heart, for God is with you." I love that.
And that night the Lord appeared to His prophet and said, "Go, tell My servant, David, 'You was a little fellow, and I took you from the sheep cote from feeding your father's flock to give you a great name, among men. And I've been with you, and I have caused those who's contraried you and so forth, but I can't let you build this temple. But every since through the judges I've never spoke to one, but I've went from tent to tent and from tabernacle to tabernacle.'" Chronicles, I believe, about the 7th chapter, or 12th chapter of I Chronicles... And said, "I have went from tent to tent, and I have not dwelt in a house. But your son I'll raise up, and he will build Me a house. And I'll establish his throne forever and forever."
Now, all Israel looked for the time of the coming the Son of David that was promised in the lineage of David, and they knowed that that would be the Messiah.

L-49 If we had time now to base this down and give the point, but I'll just hurry...
So when Solomon, which was the successor of David, when he came, God anointed Solomon and gave him a gift. God always has give gifts to lead His people. Search the Scriptures. Gifted human beings has led God's people, and so he... Solomon prayed for a gift of wisdom, and God gave him the gift of wisdom to lead the people.
And Solomon's age was called the golden age of Israel. It was a type, or a foreshadow of the coming of the Lord Jesus in the great millennium, when the whole world will live in a golden age.
And Solomon foreshadowed Jesus, and when with one gift... And when Jesus came, He had all the gifts. God gave Him the Spirit without measure. And He came, and when He was greater...
He just said the prophet preached at Nineveh because there was a miracle done. And a gifted, spirited prophet went in, in the belly of a whale, where all the Nineveh people got on the coast, so they fished. And all the fisherman out there, wicked as they were, the whale run in, and opened up his mouth, and the prophet stepped out.

L-50 And it was a sign, and with the anointing, he preached to people who didn't know which was right and left hand until the city the size of St. Louis, Missouri, repented and put sack cloths and--on their animals, and repented, at the preaching of Jonas. Jesus said so. He said they'll raise up in the day of judgment and condemn this generation. They had one sign, anointed prophet preached one message, and the whole city repented.
And He said, "Yet, I say to you there's one greater than Jonas here." And they wouldn't repent. The world gets darker and darker, farther away all the time. Knowledge increases and wisdom and so forth, worldly speaking, and the Kingdom of God suffers on down.

L-51 Notice, He said, "And the queen of the south (which was the queen of Sheba) she'll raise in this generation and condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, yet, I say unto you that a greater than Solomon is here."
Notice, he was condemning them because they hadn't recognized the--the anointed Spirit that was on Him of God. They tried to class Him as a madman. They tried to class Him as a--a devil-possessed man, doing miracles by the devil.
He said, "Those people, and you great ecclesiastics (in other words) who sets over here with your fancy buttons, and your robe to be called "Doctor" and "Rabbi." And the people in Nineveh who didn't even know which was right and left hand, repented when they saw the sign of the anointed prophet, Jonas, come out of the belly of a whale after being there three days, and give a message. A ignorant, illiterate people will raise up in the day of judgment and condemn you, ecclesiastics. You see it?
