<TITLE>04. Par -</TITLE>L-5-7 All nations are wanting people to be one. Germany thought they all ought to be Germans. Russia thinks they all ought to be Russians. The western world thinks they ought to come of it here. And they want them to speak one language, just like they did in Babylon. God said, "They are one language." And He wants them all to speak one language.
They want them all to be one united person, but it will never take place under man's dominion. But I'll say this, that there's coming a time when all nations will be united together under one King, and that will be Jesus Christ God's Son. And they'll speak one language. They'll be one in heart and one in purpose.

L-5-9 Daniel saw the end when the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and it rolled into the kingdoms of the world and crushed them. And they became like the trash on the floor, the husk that the winds blew away; but the Stone covered all the earth. That Stone is Christ.
There will be... Sometime there'll be one nation, one people, one flag, the old rugged cross. Praise be to the living God.
My hopes is built on nothing less,
Than Jesus' blood with righteousness;
When all around my soul gives away,
He then is all my hope and stay.
For on Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other grounds is sinking sands.
All other ground...
Churches, denominations, nations, "U.N.'s", whatever it might be, is all sinking sand, got to come to an end.

L-6-2 I've had the privilege of standing in Rome, where the great Caesar who tried to unite all the world under the Roman Empire, and today you'll have to dig twenty feet down to find the ruins of that city.
I stood in Egypt where the great pharaohs that tried to unite the world under Egypt, and you dig twenty and thirty feet to find the ruins of the city. "For here we have no continuing city," says the Bible, "but we seek one to come."

L-6-4 Not long ago when I one time went out to a place when I was a little boy. I seen a great tree where I used to go and set under that tree. And I said, "When I'm an old man I'll come back and set under this certain tree, and I'll look up into its branches, and I will admire its beauty as I am today, of a boy of twelve." There's nothing left of that tree but a snag. Why? There is nothing here that can continue; it must cease. And every mortal thing speaks of an immortal One coming, for everything that we see is a perverted act of something that's real.

L-6-5 I marry a couple and see a lovely young girl in her blushing teens, a young man with his shoulders back, standing as they are, one, and their hearts beating together. I think, "Isn't that too pretty a picture to ever be marred by death." But it's just a few years till their hair turns gray, the shoulders stoop, and back to the dust they go. What is it? It's a picture when they are standing there, that there is a land beyond the river where every symptom of death is taken away. There, immortal shall stand in His likeness--the sun and the stars to outshine.
That great morning star hasn't lost any of its beauty since the Lord blowed it from His hands and hung it in its orbit, and look what a few years does to us. But what did He say in the Scripture? He said, "Those that have turned many to righteous shall outshine the stars." So we look for a city whose Builder and whose Maker is God.
