<TITLE>16. Par 51-53</TITLE>L-51 Just before we shall speak to Him, every man in his own way, every woman, boy or girl... And while I am speaking to Him and know that His secret Agent, the One Who you cannot see with your eyes, so He is a secret Agent, the blessed Holy Spirit is in this building. Would you want Him to remember you before Father this morning, that you want to be ready and--when He comes to go with Him? If you would, would you raise up your hand to Him? The Lord bless you. I guess practically every hand in the building, mine also. "I want You, Holy Spirit, to tell the Father, look down upon me. I have--I'm taking the way with His despised people. How I want to go. I want to be ready, and I--I want to be ready right now, because He may come before this service is over."
 Nations are breaking,
 Israel's awakening,
 The signs that the prophets foretold;
 The Gentile days numbered,
 With horrors encumbered;
 "Return, O dispersed, to your own."
 The day of redemption is near,
 Men's hearts are failing for fear;
 Be filled with God's Spirit,
 Your lamps trimmed and clear,
 Look up! your redemption is near.
 The fig tree is growing;
 Israel's restoring...

L-52 Oh, God, the fig tree putting forth its buds, Israel returning as a nation. When I heard our pastor this morning speak to pray for Israel, don't you know that's the putting forth of the buds? He's to come at that time. Seeing that "Three Minutes Before Midnight," that article, seeing it on--on my own camera, or projector in my basement, when those old Jews crippled and coming in on ships and everything, from all over the world... The interviewer said, "Are you coming to the homeland to die in the homeland?"
He said, "No, we come to see the Messiah."
 The fig tree is growing; (Can't you see it? The day of redemption is near.)
 False prophets are lying,
 God's Truth they're denying,
 That Jesus the Christ is our God; (Can't you see where we're at?)
 But we'll walk where the apostles have trod.
 The day of redemption is near,
 Men's hearts are failing for fear; (Think of it.)
 Be filled with God's Spirit,
 Your lamps trimmed and clear,
 Look up! your redemption is near.

L-53 Lord God, in this great moment where I look upon this little congregation and see red faces and tear-stained cheeks, we're aware that the great secret Agent is standing near, the Holy Spirit. Now, let us take the way with the Lord's despised few. If there is little scruples in our neighborhood amongst the people, amongst the Church, or wherever it is, that has nothing to do with us. We shall not defile our garments with things of the world any more. For You shall come someday in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, that sudden secret rapture of Your church. You'll be coming up over the hill of time, down the horizontal rainbow to take away the church. For the Scripture said, "The trump of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise, and we shall be caught up with them in the air to meet the Lord, and forever be with the Lord. Wherefore, my brethren, comfort one another with these words." Let that ring deep in the hearts of this congregation this morning. We'll praise Thee, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
