<TITLE>10. Par 42-45</TITLE>L-42 Now, you're going to see a modern America. They never knowed nothing about the supernatural. So they couldn't understand it. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Could you doubt then that they'd call the Spirit of the living God a fortuneteller or a devil? They know nothing about the supernatural. They're all wrapped up in their denomination. They know nothing of it. They say, "Oh, that's just a little mental telepathy." But the handwriting's on the wall.
He did that sign before the Jew, by the closing of theirs. He did it before the Samaritans, but not the Gentile. Why? He had to wait till the Amorites sins had heaped up. Now the handwriting's on the wall for us.

L-43 What are they doing? Are they listening to it? No, sir. They're just going ahead with Arthur Godfrey, and Elvis Presley, and Pat Boone, and all the rest of them. Modern, young folks, teen-age, violence... That's the same thing it was there. Exactly. And he brought in all the pastors, and they said, "Well, we--we don't know that. Uh, maybe... Oh, that's maybe a shadow somewhere."
The king had better sense than that. And he said, "I'll give any man a part of my kingdom, and I'll clothe him, and I'll put a gold chain on his neck if he can interpret that." But they didn't have the gift of interpretation. They knowed nothing about it. They believed the days of miracles were past. Isn't that our modern preachers? Isn't that our general overseers, our bishops? They know nothing about the supernatural. That's the reason they can call the Spirit of the living God a act of put-up. Oh, God be merciful to an adulterous and filthy generation, perishing from the face of the earth.

L-44 There he was... He's still knocking his knees together. There was something wrong. He knowed there was something wrong. Oh, there was a supernatural sign. "How did it get in here? Where did it come from?" It come from above. It come down where there was no walls. It could come in. And today, we've rock-and-rolled. We've took our children to televisions and uncensored programs. We've let our floors and our tables become full of old dirty, sexy love stories in the stead of the Word of God. There isn't a kid in this city but what knows more about Arthur Godfrey, or Elvis Presley, or Pat Boone, or David Crockett than they do know about Jesus Christ. That's straight, but it's oh so true.
No wonder there's a falling away. And what does the pastors know? They don't know what's the cause of it. They are the cause of it.
And there he was standing. So was Belteshazzar cause of it, letting his kingdom get in such a place. And today in all this stuff that we're going through, we thought we were fortified. We think we're the best and greatest nation on earth. We've got all the science here. And little did Belteshazzar know, that he didn't have all the scientists.

L-45 There was a nation called the Medes and Persians. They'd got some scientific work too. Which is now the Medes o Persians are the Indians, the Hindus, in India as our brother just spoke. They finally lan--wound up in India as the Hindu--Medes o Persians. And they had scientifically found a way that they could back--by-pass the river Euphrates. They couldn't get through the walls, but they by-passed the river and was coming under the gates. Science is working somewhere, a great ungodly, heathen nation at that time.
And God put a sign on the wall to let them know that their days were finished. And God's put a sign on our wall and our great rock-and-roll party. And there's a sputnik flying through the skies. Oh, we thought we had it all, didn't we? We thought we knowed it all. But Russia... the... according to our own science is five years ahead of us. And when we're caught up in five years, they'll be ten years farther the other way.
