<TITLE>04. Par 12-15</TITLE>L-12 And now, as the sun travels west, the Gospel has traveled west. Now, the prophet said, "There'll be a day that won't be either day or night. But in the evening it shall be light." Now, on two thousand years ago, on the eastern people, the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the eastern people, the Jews and so forth in the east.
And then about the first round of apostles it begin to fade out. The second round it was pretty near gone; went on out into the dark ages, come back just a little teeny bit of light in the reformation, come on down through the Wesley age. But we're traveled all the way from the east to the entire west coast. We're as far west as we can go, and the Gospel has come across with it.
But now, "It's been a day," said the prophet, "that'll neither be light or dark," kind of a dismal day, kinda foggy and cloudy. We've had enough light to say, "Yes, Jesus is the Son of God. Yes, He saves from sin. But, oh, the days of miracles and things, that was way back, back in the east." But the prophet said, "It'll be light in the evening."

L-13 And now, on the western people in this western hemisphere here, it's poured out, the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The sun has come out to shine again on the--at the setting just as it did at the rising. And the same Holy Ghost that fell on the eastern people two thousand years ago, has been shadowed by creeds and denominations coming across the--this day of not dark nor light... But in the evening time while she's setting, the baptism of the Holy Ghost was poured out on the western people with the same portion, the same signs, and the same wonders that they did on the eastern people, just exactly.
So when you go to the east you find out that the parables, especially of the Bible, just wake up to you. They become a--a new reality. They have meaning. And in the east they seldom ever change their customs. They are... What they had in the beginning, they still hold on to those customs.

L-14 And now, our text tonight is dealing with a wedding supper. Oh, you should see it. And Jesus taught of it here. And many places He gave these parables. And if you'd ever visit the eastern country, you find out just those parables, they're still living them same customs that they did then.
Now, in this place, the wedding supper was made; Matthew 22 gives a very good description of it, that he said that in--in the Book of Matthew, that there was a king who had a son. And he made a supper for his son. And it was a wedding supper. What a beautiful parable or a prophetic post that the King of heaven was making a supper for His Son, Christ Jesus. That was the meaning of the parable. So God making a supper for His Son, Christ Jesus...
And if you'll watch the setting as we try to dig into it and find the settings of the--the way the supper had to be arranged in the oriental and eastern types, it's a very beautiful picture of the coming of the Son of God and the wedding supper that we're all going to one of these days who are borned again of the Spirit of God. Beautiful.

L-15 Now, he said, the first thing, if the supper was set, no persons are allowed to come to this supper unless they are invited. You have to be invited first before you go to any dinner of that type.
Now, I don't like to call it dinner. I'm just old fashion enough to believe it's still supper. We don't take the Lord's Dinner, we take the Lord's Supper. And this here dinner stuff, it always make me get hungry; I missed a meal somewhere. So I--I like dinner, breakfast, and supper. And so I--I still believe it's the Lord's Supper we take.
And so anyhow, when you're invited out to supper, you're... You have to be invited before you'd be welcome to come. And if you would not be invited and you would go anyhow, you'd be a poacher. And that wouldn't be right. You'd be disqualified.
