<TITLE>02. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 I want to take a subject tonight that the Lord put on my heart today: "United Under One Head." And I want to read for some Scripture back in Genesis the 11th chapter and just a phase of the 6th verse.
And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one...
Now, may He add His blessings to the reading of His Word. The people is one. Now, "Genesis" means "the beginning."

L-7 And everything that there is today had--that is, had it's beginning. And everything that there is begin in Genesis. Remember, life began in Genesis. Death begin in Genesis. And all thoughts begin in Genesis, right and wrong. All begin in Genesis.
If you study the Scriptures real closely, you'll find out that even the isms and the cults of today had their beginning in Genesis. If you'll just watch Nimrod and--and the different ones in the Scripture... All them isms that we have today begin in Genesis.
Now, today they polish it up and make it look like something else, but it's still that old evil spirit, if you'll watch the nature of it and the way it acts.
You know, a few years ago when I was just a little boy I was--lived in the time of prohibition. And they had old Charlie Barleycorn, they called him. Many of you can remember that hideous looking person, his hat all caved in, and his st... shoe--shoulders stooped over, and such a horrible looking critter he was. That was Charlie Barleycorn.

L-8 But you know, today he's become a polished-up man. He ain't no more in the little brown jug and out on the corner where the red light district is. He lives in a bumper in everybody's ice box, but he's still Charlie Barleycorn just the same, same old evil one.
The Bible said... God in the Bible said, "My Spirit will not always strive with man." And Jesus said in Matthew 24, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." Did you notice, the Spirit of God was striving with men, not men striving to know the Spirit of God, but it was the Spirit of God striving to get to men.
And, oh, how it parallels today. The Spirit of God is striving with man. And I wonder if God doesn't think just about like He did in those times. It grieved Him that He ever made man, to see how rebellious men can be against His Spirit and His program and His way of life for men and women.

L-9 Now, we see now in our text tonight, that man had united themselves together. And they had come from the east going west, and they come to the valley of Shinar. Civilization has always traveled from the east to the west.
I wished I only had time... I'd like to speak on a message: "When The East And The West Meets, What Happens?" And it's already met. The east and west has met together. Man has traveled with the going down of the sun, because he is a perishing creature. He's going with the sun, rises and travels westward. Now, the east and the west has met. And as he goes on, he gains knowledge all the time until now the wheel is turning backward again.
Now, we see that they as they traveled they come to this fair land, and they united themselves as one people. And that's all right, but they had united under the wrong leadership. They had united under the leadership of man. And God wants man to unite under the leadership of Himself. He wants us to be one. But He wants to be the one with us. But man wants his fellow man to be his leader and unite under the wisdom of his fellow man.
