<TITLE>13. Par 51-54</TITLE>L-51 And today, when we thought we had it all, and right in the midst of our rock-and-roll, and boogie-woogie, and our stripteases on the street publicly... And you don't have to go to the theater no more; they're on the street. Stripteases, that's all they are, modern stripteases on the street, dressed like Jezebels, calling themselves Christians. And the handwriting is on the wall.
There's a sputnik going in the sky, and we can't compete with it. Oh, we put up one; it went three feet off the earth--off the earth and fizzled out. And we can look up tonight and find that a big sputnik is circling the earth. And in Russia, just one drink extra of vodka, and we could go to ashes before morning.

L-52 Billy Graham said some time ago in his broadcast, "There isn't one thing to keep America from becoming a satellite to Russia in any fifteen minutes of time they want to do it." What's the matter? We felt secure, didn't we? But we left God out. We--we adopted rock-and-roll and all the kind of modern entertainment and stuff, and left God out of the picture. And the handwriting's on the sky.
The Bible said, "There will be signs in the heavens above." We got saucers, flying saucers, that the Pentagon can't even think of what they are. Mystic sights in the heavens, upon earth, sea roar, tidal waves, earthquakes in divers places, all kinds of things happening, and the Church, lukewarm, they can't even set through a meeting. What's the matter? It's because the Bible's got to be fulfilled. The handwriting's on the wall, America. And Russia, if they want to... You know they never display their best; we don't either.

L-53 But we've let it come to this place with our sin and modern living. And without prayer in the church, cooling off and going away, we've let it get to this place. They thought if they send about... They got a ton and a half, or two ton, bomb up there now, or satellite. We couldn't touch them with no missile. There ain't a thing we could do about it. They could get a few of those hydrogen bombs, move right over the United States and say, "Surrender or go to ashes." They can do it in the next fifteen minutes.
What would we do? Why, the only sensible thing there is to do is surrender. The Pentagon would surrender; the nation would surrender. Then what would happen? Right in our drunken stew, like another Pearl Harbor, great shiploads of ungodly men, Russian soldiers, planes full of them, come right into our homes, and grab the women, ravish them, bust the heads of their babies in the street, take over home and kick you out. What you going to do about it?
All because we have failed to see this handwriting on the wall, and the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ... Listen, brother, that could happen by morning. And if it's that close, how many here that's read newspapers and understands that that could happen by morning and we couldn't help it, raise up your hand. Sure?

L-54 Well, if that could happen by morning, and the Church goes home before that happens, how close is the coming of the Lord? Oh, you're going to call me a holy-roller anyhow. You might... I feel religious. Listen, the Lord could come at any minute. We're at the junction, the signs and the wonders, the handwriting, a sputnik, signs posts, everything, and the church cooling off. We're at the end time.
