<TITLE>17. Par 61-63</TITLE>L-61 I was at Cairo, Egypt, going up to Palestine; the Jew will believe it. The Jews seek signs, and they'll believe it. And we had a bunch of them; I was going to bring thousands of them out. They... When Louie Pethrus send that Bible back there, when those Jews came up from Iran, and they was looking at those Bibles, they said, "If this be the Messiah..." They never heard anything about the Messiah. Said, "If this Jesus be the Messiah, then let us see Him do the sign of the prophet, and we'll believe it." Sure they will. I tell you.
Jesus said, "When you see the fig tree putting forth it's buds yonder..." When them Jews come in, the six point star of David flying, the first time for twenty-five hundred years, the oldest flag in the world; they become a nation on the sixth day, on the seventh day of May, 1946, on the sixth day, rather, and on the seventh that--day, the same time the Angel of the Lord appeared down there and sent out for--this message. Exactly right. It would swirl you to know what takes place.

L-62 Then I was right at Cairo, and the Holy Spirit said, "Not at this hour. Return back." And I went back to Rome. That's right. Just not the hour. When the Jew receives the gospel, the Gentile's finished. You know that. The doors is closed. Let him that's filthy, be filthy still, him that's holy, be holy still. It's done. Gentile people, American people, not as... trying to say that it's me, God knows that from my heart, it's not.
Now, if this was some great, great place and some great archbishop a speaking, you'd say, "Oh, that bishop knows what he's talking about." God never did deal with such. Search the Scriptures and find out if He ever did. Tell me one time He ever did. Tell me one time He ever dealt with a entire organization. God deals with an individual. Certainly He does. But just because it goes... See, the people has to get in this kind of a state, but--so God can show Hisself, and then when the judgment comes, He says, "There it was."
Did you know, they didn't know who Elijah was when He was here on earth? He was a man. The Bible said he was like passion as we are.
They didn't know John the Baptist. Even the disciples said, "Why does the Scribes say Elias must come?"
Jesus said, "He's already come and you didn't know it."

L-63 Now, you good Catholic people, don't want to hurt your feelings. Saint Patrick, what was he, a Catholic? No sir. He protested the Catholic church. But after he was dead, they recognized him a saint and canonized him as a saint.
Look at Saint Francis of Assisi. Who was he? A walking preacher with a Bible under his arm, doing miracles, walking down... the birds got to chattering, he said, "Sisters, hold your peace while I preach the gospel," and they shut up. He protested the Catholic church, but after he was dead, they realized he was a saint.
Here, to some of you school children here, how about Joan of Arc? She was a saint. She saw visions; she done miracles; the Catholic church burnt her to a stake. That's right. They didn't know she was right. What did they say she was? A witch, a Beelzebub, a evil spirit. And after she was dead about a hundred years, they found out they was wrong, so they dug up them priest's body and throwed them in the river to do penitence. Now, they say she's a saint.
