<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 But the oncoming judgments, the world is feeling it. The newspapers... And I've heard that in the Pentagon, I don't know, but they say that they don't know what to do. Well, there's only one Book can direct you on what to do, and that's God's Bible. That's the only thing that can tell you what to do; that's lift up your head; look up. There's no way of escape.
It's already come into the hands of men that they can destroy this world in an hour if they want to. What would hinder Russia this afternoon, some of those leaders to drink one can of vodka too much, and punch a button that would send the entire world out of its orbit, and wouldn't contrary the Scriptures a bit. There you are. See, we're at the end time.

L-14 And I want to bring this to your minds, that all these things that we've see happen this week, when a meeting like this in a place prepared, and people unconcerned, it's altogether indicating that that thing is at hand. And to see a little group that would faithfully, like yourselves, gather out, day after day, and night after night, because something is pressing to you, there's something in you. You Spirit filled people, there's something inside of you that's warning you.
Now, some great theologian might come to the city, that maybe had a lot of education and could speak their words real good and plain, and perhaps every church in the city would fully cooperate. And it would kind of be an honor to get to go out and hear the man which might be a marvelous speaker. But that's not what the Church is looking for. The Church, the real believer is looking for the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, something in their heart moving. The children doesn't know what it is. But God help me this afternoon to explain to you what it is.

L-15 Not long ago it was my privilege to go to India, where I'd been led of the Lord. And it was striking enough, that when I got to India, they'd just had an earthquake. And I got a piece out of the paper, which is in the Christian Business Men's office tonight, or today, my--my good friend Tommy Nickels, who's going to publish it.
And it was that a strange thing begin to happen. About two days before that earthquake shook that great nation, that we carried it also over here, that there was a strange thing taken place, that all the cattle and all the little birds that had their nests and their roosting places up in the--the chimneys and in the great walls in India... They don't have too many just fences; it's big stone walls, that they pick up the rocks and make the wall. And little birds that had roosted and had their dwelling in these places, all flew away, and went out into the wilderness to stay. The cattle that hung around the walls in the evening out of the hot sun, went out and stood in the middle of the pasture.
What was it? There was not one material thing showing an earthquake. Scientist could not pick up this oncoming earthquake. But oh, may I say, "Blessed be His Name." The Creator knew it was coming, and He moved His little creatures out from around those walls, 'cause they flattened out on the ground, and would've been killed.

L-16 And if a little bird, by instinct... He has not a soul. And if a little bird, and a cow could make their way by instinct away from the walls to keep from being killed, how much more ought the church, and this great oncoming judgment, to pull itself out from around its old haunts if you have to stand in the middle of persecution, and look up, for the redemption's drawing nigh.
God, as He warned His birds, He also warns His people. And that's the day that many people are leaving these great big cathedrals and social Gospel to come out and to make their stand with the children of God. Though they be called fanatic or whatever they wish to, they take their stand. It's the Holy Spirit a warning them. Certainly it is. This oncoming judgment... Oh, how I love God for doing this.
