<TITLE>07. Par 21-22</TITLE>L-21 And as they waited with long expectations, after while up across the hill came someone riding on a little white mule. It was a type of His coming the second time from heaven, riding on a white horse. Coming up over the hill on this little donkey, little white donkey, nobody paid any attention to Him. But these who were looking for Him, they cut down branches and run out screaming, "Hosanna, to the Son of David that comes in the Name of the Lord." Their hearts were thrilled above measure, for they was expecting Him; and all their expectations had been met, for they knowed the Scripture had said He would ride into Jerusalem on a mule. And they seen Him coming.
The rest of the city went right on with their pouring of waters, and washings of pots, and their ceremonies as they went on. And when they heard this great noise begin to start, "Hosanna, hosanna..." screaming to the top of their voice, oh, I can imagine what those people said, "You're interrupting our church service with your noise." Do you think that stopped them? The very Christ that they had looked for was right with them; how could you stop them?
And it caused a great stir in the city. The people begin to say, "Who is this that's causing all of this stir? Who is it? He's got the people, that little group of--of people wrapped around Him. Who is it that's causing this?" They couldn't find Him in any of their books; they had... None of their seminaries had produced Him. None of their churches had produced Him. Therefore they asked, "Who is it? Who's causing this stir? What makes these people act like that?" the religious people was saying. "What makes these people scream? Why are they hollering, 'Hosanna.' Make them hold their peace."
He said, "If they hold their peace, the rocks will immediately cry out."

L-22 Something had to take place, because a living Christ was amongst a living people. Something had to take place. The coming of the Holy Ghost in this last days has caused somewhat a like manner stir amongst the people. Of the coming of the Holy Ghost in these last days has sent forth a revival, a people that's a called out, separated people, a people that's free in their religion, that shouts and screams the praises of God, that believes in signs and wonders. Why? The same thing as it was then is now. The Spirit of the living God lives in them. That's why they cry out. That's why they can't hold their peace.
And the religious world looks on, "What's the matter with them people? Who is this? What causes this?" Or may I might say this, "What is this? What is this that causes that?" If they would only read the Scriptures, they'd find out that it's the Spirit of Christ promised by God, that, "In the last days I'll pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, and there'll be a latter rain, a rain of the Spirit of God falling upon the people in the last day." And He said there will be also a latter rain and a former rain in the same time.
