<TITLE>14. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 Seeds of Abraham, can't you see this is your hour? Can't you tell this is the time that--that God is calling you? We ought to repent!
What the Church needs tonight is not new members. Why, the United States is combed over and over and over by so many evangelists, until it's just burnt territory. That's the truth. America has absolutely sinned away its day of grace. You mark it down on a book. You'll never have a universal revival in America. It passed that about three years ago. It'll never be a revival. Some of you young people, mark my word down for that. There'll never be a nationwide revival, no more, like the Billy Sunday days and so forth. You'll have little spurt ups, like that, till Jesus comes, but it'll never be.
God has turned from it and gone to the foreign nations. There's where the people come. One sign from the Lord done; thousands will run to the altar of heathens. And it can be done over and over to this bunch of Americans, that's been taught this way, that way, and all confused, and never stop to look in their Bible.

L-62 You know, you... The Bible is--is the Word of God. It's given to the people to feed on.
Why, you got so many ways drawed up. "It's got to be this way; it's got to be the way my church says. It's got to be the way my church says." When Jesus come the first time, it was all together different from what their churches was saying. And it'll be altogether different from what they're saying today when He comes again.
Because, He said, "I've hid this from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and will reveal it to babes such as will learn." If you're willing to learn, take the Bible and search the Scriptures. "For They are They that testify of Me," said Jesus, "in them you think you have Eternal Life. And they testify of Me."

L-63 You know when--when He come, His ministry was so supernatural till it blinded the eyes of the preachers of that day. They couldn't see It. They said, "Aw, Him telling them people what's wrong with them, and telling them their names and things, that's a devil spirit in Him; it's Beelzebub."
Jesus said, "I will forgive you for that. But someday, the Ho... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... is coming to do the same thing. One word against It will never be forgiven in this world or the world to come." Watch Sodom.

L-64 Now, He said, "As it was in the days of Noah," blasphemers and so forth, and "as it was in the days of--of Sodom..." Sodom is when the fire fell. Fire's going to fall this time, not water, fire. The fire will fall from heavens, the Bible said so. Those volcanic gasses that's up there... Some of these days, they're going to push one of them missiles through there; it's going to set a chain around like that, perhaps. And that's the way it'll come.
It's--it's at hand. We know it can't be much longer. Science says three minutes longer before midnight. The clock will strike one of these hours. And it'll be gone within just a few minutes. The world will be on fire. But before that happens, the Church is going to glory. Then if the end of time is that close, the coming of the Lord is closer.
So what are we doing? We're setting watching these things. We go home, say, "Wasn't that amazing?" That's not the way to do it. Grab up the Scriptures and start through It with prayer on your heart: "Lord God, is it that close? Help me, oh, Lord, to know Thy Word." And search It, and lean over It, and stay with It, and miss a few meals, and pray to God, and you'll come back to the church so charged with the power of God, things will going to taking place around here. We've got to have It.
