<TITLE>09. Par -</TITLE>L-13-1 Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom..." The police and the homicides and all that, is just on the go all the time breaking up boys living together as husband and wife; women living the same way. Perverted. Their minds are filthy minds, because they don't have spiritual discernment. All is a lust and a filth, and they can't satisfy theirselves even with one another. They don't even marry. They just take up and go out until... They're perverted. Jesus said that would be in the last days, and here it is.

L-13-2 And you also remember, that in the days of Sodom... Any of you ministers and you Bible students, I believe you would agree with this. Doctor Scofield and many others does; most all the teachers, Charles Fuller, and so forth, of great scholars in the land: That Abraham represented the Spirit, church spiritual. Lot represented the church carnal or natural. He was down in Sodom in the sin, yet he had righteousness in him, but he was mixing with it. And remember, there was two intellectual preachers that went down to preach to Sodom. They did no miracle, only blinded them. And the preaching of the cross blinds the unbeliever. That's what great meetings of Billy Graham and them has done, that's made them worse.

L-13-3 When Billy Graham a few weeks ago noted (You heard it.) that when he walking in England, and had to take his wife in out of the parks where he'd had a great revival, because men and women were committing sexual acts right out in open public where he had the revival.
Does it do any good? Not intellectual. It'll take the calling down of the wrath of God and holy Fire out of heaven to ever bring a difference in the world, and it won't be. People are looking forward to a great something to come, and you're at the end of the what's already come. The last signs has been given to the Gentile church. The Jews will have it after the church is raptured, but we're in the end of the Gentile age.

L-13-5 Now, just closing, I might say this. Did you notice what kind of a Person that stayed behind to talk to the church spiritual? Set with His back to the tent and Him a Stranger and said, "Where is your wife, Sarah?"
And said, "She's in the tent."
Said, "I'm going to visit you, Abraham, according to the promise I give you." And He... Sarah inside, laughed within herself.
And the Angel said, "Why did she laugh?"
Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."

L-14-3 Now, do you understand? You understand why a ministry like this can only go to full-Gospel people? Do you see where it's come to? I was raised in a Baptist church and ordained a Missionary Baptist preacher, but when something struck my heart, I had discernment that that was the Word of God. He made It manifest.
They told me, "You will be a holy-roller, Billy. Nobody will listen to such stuff as that."
I said, "If God has sent it, God promised it in His Bible, He will have somebody to listen to it." That is right.

L-14-6 Let's discern the Body of the Lord, discern the times that we're living in. We'll die spiritually if we don't do that. And if this is true, and the Holy Spirit is with us, and we've got the last sign of the coming of the Lord just before He has come... Remember, that was just before Sodom burned, just a few hours before it burned.

L-14-7 I believe today... Many of you all heard what Khrushchev said the other day to the Americans. You read it in your papers. Here's his statement. You who've got natural discernment, you'll catch this. He said, "If there is a God, He's going to sweep the temple and clean it with you money changer capitalists." You see what that means, don't you? And he's right. A heathen, a devil, an impostor like that, has to throw the threats out. Still they sleep: sinning, drinking, just ignoring because they have no spiritual discernment of the Body of the Lord. What a day we're living in.
