<TITLE>06. Par 22-26</TITLE>L-22 Then you can imagine when this congregation gathered with the little congregation by the gate... And after while, they said, "He might come through this gate, or He might come through that gate." But it didn't make any difference what gate He come through, they was going to see Him anyhow, because it was a promise.
Whether He comes today in a cloud or on a horse, it makes no difference to me how He comes. We'll see Him anyhow, for it's a promise God gave.

L-23 And they were waiting with anticipation. The ceremonies were getting ready to start at the temple. The water was already pouring from the rock, where the congregation was coming in to worship, the priests had on their long garments and their--their--all their ceremonial garb. Each congregation had gathered in its fitted place, the Pharisees in their corner and the Sadducees in their corner.
If that isn't a picture of today, I don't know it. The Methodists in one corner, the Baptists in another corner, the Presbyterians in another corner. But somewhere scattered among them in little groups is the Church of the living God, not paying attention to ceremonies, but waiting for His appearing, waiting for that blessed moment. While the rest of them is just interested in the ceremony, the feast of the Tabernacles, and the religious rituals. But the Spirit of God has charged our hearts that we know He's coming soon.

L-24 And as they were waiting, all of a sudden, from the top of the hill come a little congregation moving down, one setting on a little white mule coming slowly towards the gate. The people begin to scream, breaking of the branches off the trees, and throwing their garments in the road, hollering, "Hosanna, to Him that cometh in the Name of the Lord."
And as the little mule moved forward, fulfilling the Scriptures of the prophets said, "O daughter of Zion..." And see, what it was, it was a church, the elect. "Your Lord cometh to you, meek and lowly, setting upon a little mule, riding."

L-25 And today, while the church is waiting, one of these days, coming down from the skies He will come riding on a white horse. You notice that white's always represented. The little white mule He came was a foreshadow of coming riding on the charger with His vesture dipped in Blood, a Name on Him called the Word of God. That's His coming now.
The little groups have gathered, watching, waiting for that appearing. And what a rejoicing it'll be when we go forward breaking off the branches, screaming, "Hosanna to Him that cometh in the Name of the Lord." It'd give such a stir among the people.

L-26 The Methodists and the Baptists of that day, the Sadducees and the Pharisees, and the different ones until... They said, "Who is this coming? What's all this disturbance about? We see nothing so alarmed about it. There's just a Man, and He's riding on a little mule. There's nothing to be alarmed about. Why all the fuss and the carry on? Who is It?"
Just before the coming of the Lord Jesus, He sent the Holy Ghost to the Church in this last day. And the Holy Ghost has been a witness of His resurrection, and has proved that He lives, and He is coming.
