<TITLE>12. Par 44-48</TITLE>L-44 That woman knowed more about God, that prostitute, than half the New England preachers. That's right. Not only New England, but the whole world. See? They've just tied up so much with theology, that's all they know. But this woman was taught spiritual things, and she knew that when that Prophet of prophets, the King of prophets come, that He would be the One that would reveal the secret of the heart. Oh, my, why can't we wake up?
Now look, not one time did Jesus ever do that in the presence of a Gentile, not one time. Why? The Gospel had not yet went to the Gentile. Anybody know that? When He was here, He said... He--He did not go to the Gentiles, and He forbid His disciples to go to the Gentiles. Is that right? Said, "Go not in the way of the Gentiles, but go rather to the lost sheep of Israel." He forbid it. Why? The Gentiles has had two thousand years in their church. They were heathens in them days, our people were heathens. So they've got two thousand years of theology.

L-45 Now, if the closing of the Jews, when He turned His back to the Jews, and that's the way He made Hisself known to the Jews in that manner, He's got to do it in the closing of the Gentiles, or He did wrong when He manifested Hisself that way to the Jews.
If we're going to close this Gentile dispensation with just theology, "I'm a Presbyterian, I'm Pentecostal, I'm Methodist, I'm--I'm Catholic." If He closes like that, then He could not be just. He has to represent Himself the same way He did to the Jew, and to the Samaritan. Not one time in all history, has He did it, for this is the close of the Gentile dispensation.
The handwriting's on the wall, and you all know it. They got a sputnik up here, that we could be a satellite by in the morning, and the nations are trembling and shaking. And He promised He'd take a people out of the Gentiles for His Name. But only those who God foreknew by election will He call.

L-46 If your heart is hard, God be merciful. If your eyes are open to see, God bless you. See? That's right. "For no man can come to Me, except My Father draws him first." They didn't see Him; they didn't understand Him; they thought He was a fanatic, or a spiritualist, or a devil, in them days, because their eyes were closed. The Prophet said they would be closed.
Many miracles He had done before, yet they could not believe, St. Matthew, 12th chapter, because Isaiah said, "They got eyes, and can't see, ears, and can't hear." See? Although the miracles that He had done, yet they could not understand it. They said... The big church said, "He's a devil." So that's what they believed too.

L-47 Now remember, God takes His man, but never His Spirit. The devil takes his man, but never his spirit. The same Spirit was on Elijah, came on Elisha. Same One was on Elisha come on John the Baptist, eight hundred years later. The Holy Spirit that was on Christ, come on the church, and will remain until Jesus comes.
Now, what's happened? What's about... Different from this day, than from the beginning? The Prophet said there'll be a time of day, that it won't be neither day nor night, a dismal, foggy time.

L-48 The sun rose in the east. That's what Jesus was on the Eastern people, Samaritans, and also to the Jews. He shined His Light, and that--when He represented Hisself there. We've come through all this long day, of just a dismal, enough to have churches, have theology, shake hands, put your name on the book, have denominations, and so forth. But the Prophet said, "It'll be Light in the evening time." Did He say it? All right.
How did civilization travel? From east to the west. East and west is now met. We're at the Pacific coast. The next move is east again.
Now what? Then the same sun that rises in the east, sets in the west. The same Holy Spirit that come and declared Christ in the Eastern people, and has been all this years of theology and so forth, now, has broke back the clouds. And the Light's shining on the Western people just before the setting of the sun.
