<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>59-1004M, Who Is This?, Faith Assembly, Clarksville, IN, 106 min
L-1 Lord... and the--the things that He has promised, and every promise that He has made is true. And we're looking forward to the time of His appearing. And as we see that day approaching, that hour coming, it makes us want to check up, and take inventory of ourselves, and just see where we are standing.
I just was hearing when I come in the yard out there, my good friend there, that a--a real buddy of mine is near death with cancer. And I certainly want the church to pray for Brother Rogers, that he is a...
I want to go down this week to see him. He lives in a city about thirty-five, forty miles below here, Milltown, Indiana. And I want to go down and see him. He's a veteran of the First World War. And he had surgery just recently, and the doctors just sewed him up, because they said there's no need of trying to operate; he was dying. And he just learned about it, I believe, Friday or Saturday, one, that he just learned that he had cancer.

L-2 But one great thing happened. He said in the room, when he went into the--the hospital, that there was a rainbow came in the corner, and he stood and looked at it for some time. And that was God's sign of a covenant. Of course, the rainbow is always represents a covenant. God keeps His covenants. He makes His promise.
And you and I can make one and have to break it, because we--we just don't know what tomorrow holds. But God cannot make one and break it, because He knows what tomorrow holds. See? He knows all about our troubles and what is. And He knowed all that would be before it was. Before the foundation of the world, He knew just exactly who would be and who would not be.
And isn't it a comfort, after we just had these great stern talks from this Russian, Khrushchev, and--and the different ones, and the remarks that they have made, that says the--the hangars is ready. They could destroy the world within just a minute. See? And just anything, they--they just press a button, and that would be all of it.

L-3 But to look in the pages of this Bible and see that before that can ever happen, the Church is gone home, oh, what a feeling. See? What a relief to know that it'll never touch us. That's right. We're... It'll never touch us. We're just as safely as it can be. And to know that that isn't just some hiding place that the government has formed for us; it's a hiding place that God has put there for us. And we can rest assure that it's just as perfect as it can be.
Down through the ages, God has made promises, and through these promises, He's always kept them. And as for myself, I--I don't see nothing left but the just quick catching away of the Church. I see the little groups going around, struggling, the faithful holding on.

L-4 And last week, you know what taken place in Israel, the last sign. Israel became a nation in 1947 on the same night the Angel of the Lord visit me. When It came at me at twelve o'clock, it was noon when they signed the--that peace pact with the world and the League of Nations and so forth, overseas. But last week, they got their own currency. They are... They got a regular Jewish money that they use now.
And I--I don't see nothing at all left according to Scripture... Of course, there may--many things maybe the Lord's not letting me know. But I don't see nothing left but just the coming of the Lord. And oh, how I just like to check up. And you get to reading the papers and listening to newscasts, and makes you real nervous, and then set down and think: "Before it can all happen, we're gone home."
There'll be never an old person in that country. Just think, we old people will be changed then, and we'll be young. There can never be a sickness there, never be death; there can never be a sorrow, heartache, or anything at that time when we cross that...
