<TITLE>03. Par 13-18</TITLE>L-13 Jesus spoke of the same thing in the parable of the orchard. They sent one servant, and they run him out. And finally he sent his son, and they killed the son.
But someone has to be a witness. God being just, He cannot put punishment upon a people without showing mercy. Righteousness requires that. God's holiness requires judgment, and judgment would not be judgment without it had mercy to it. And God always sends mercy. And when mercy is spurned, there's only one thing left; that's judgment.

L-14 And, oh, may I stop here just a moment to say, that I believe that these nations are now getting their last mercy call. I believe it. I'm on record and on tape by saying that. But I believe it with all my heart, that there's not a person on earth who could ever shake this thing back to its conditions again. It'll take the move of God, the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Look at the indifference in the people today. Look how unconcerned they are: eating, drinking, marrying, given in marriage, just as it was predicted, "Having a form of godliness and denying the power thereof," the Bible said, "from such turn away." Very religious, they've always been very religious, but not having the spiritual insight to understand. That's the main thing. That's the thing that designates your eternal destination, is your spiritual conception.

L-15 What if Pharaoh would've knowed that the emancipator of Egypt, he was sending him out into the desert and chasing him. It would've been different. But he didn't have the spiritual understanding that Moses had, nor could he understand the attitude that Moses taken.
For why would this man with the world at his hands would reject it and walk out into the desert with a bunch of disobedient people? Why, he was considered a fanatic, a quack. And tens of thousands, no doubt, laughed at him. But his conviction of his spiritual insight, that by faith he saw the promise of God.

L-16 And then when Jesus stood on the earth. He was the greatest Witness that God has ever had. For the Fulness of God was in Him. And when He begin to do the works of God, they said unto Him, "He is Beelzebub, the devil," judging the Spirit of God that was in Him, a devil performing miracles.
And Jesus said to them, "If Satan cast out Satan, then he's divided against himself."
People credit Satan for being smarter than what he is. He cannot be divided against himself. If you're divided against yourself, how can you exist? You cannot; neither can Satan.

L-17 So after the great discussion there, He told them if they spoke against Him it would be forgiven them, but the Holy Spirit which would come as a Witness of Him, to speak against It would never be forgiven.
Then He brought in different ones of the faith that had gone on. And He said, "The queen of the south shall rise in the day of judgment, and shall condemn this generation: because she came from the utmost parts of the known world to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And I say unto you that a greater than Solomon is here."

L-18 Now, Solomon's age that he was referring to, was the millennium for the Jews. It was the golden age, as historians know, for the Jewish people.
Solomon was a foretype of Christ in that he built the temple and so forth.
And then in that age, God gave Solomon a gift. And all of Israel recognized that gift. And all Israel prospered under the reign of that gift.
