<TITLE>07. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 And there's other worthy things that we could think of. Men with good intentions has tried to start things anew, to do things at certain times. For instance when electricity was first in... found by Benjamin Franklin, and he was able to conquer it, they begin to say, "From this time on there'll never be no more wars, because that this electricity could be put into fences with such a high voltage till no man could cross it." They meant well.
And right after the First World War, when--when the Kaiser Wilhelm signed the treaty of peace, we were told here in America... I was a boy of about nine years old. But I can remember of the people all saying, "We will never have another war from this time on. It's settled forever." But we had another war.
And when the great U.N... Or I would say before that, they formed what was called the League of Nations. And they said, "Now, we will have no more wars, because we've got a League of Nations that will patrol the world. And if there is an uprise somewhere, these men out of every nation will go there and police the world." But it was a failure. It went right on having wars. And the U.N. will become the same thing.

L-23 We are told now by a prediction that tomorrow night... or Sunday night... The same man that predicted Pearl Harbor to the exact moment that the--the airplanes would bomb it, said that Sunday night at twelve o'clock, that seventy-five percent of the American people would go into ashes, that Russia will bomb the United States this coming Sunday night at twelve o'clock: The same man that predicted Pearl Harbor. They're not putting it out, 'cause people will go frantic. I don't believe it. See?
No, because you can't suffer atomic war. If one of theirs pass through the sound barrier this way, we will throw them that way, and the world will go to pieces. Something's got to happen yet before Jesus comes. That's right.

L-24 For instance: the young married couple, there was a certain time that they got married. And they--they put their vows together, and they pledged one to another their loyalty. And they said that we will love, honor, and cherish each other as long as we both live. But there come a time that something happened.
All these things that are... There's a time when something happens. And maybe all their vows, and all the Leagues of Nations, and so forth, maybe had good intentions, but they all come to an end. All become crumbling beneath the--the--the feet of men. With all the good intentions we could have, but all must come to an end.
But there is a time that where man can come to something that's eternal. That's when a man--the time man meets God. That's when something happens that's eternal.

L-25 We do our mistakes. And we make our vows on New Years night to only break them the next day. We turn new pages, and we assign vows, and we go to priests, and the... (We don't, but Catholics do.) and make confessions, and sign pledges. And we've come to the altar and turned new pages, but all in vain, for the next time somebody crosses our path or something, that old temper will fly right back again. Every time that we get into trouble or something, it'll happen again.
But there is a place, where a man can come to a time that it'll change him forever, for eternal. "He that will come to Me, I will in no wise cast out," said Jesus. A man can come to God, and his whole eternal destination is changed. And a man can meet God, and he can never be the same any more. You can't meet God and ever remain the same person you was. If you turn away from Him, you'll be a worse person that you ever were. If you receive Him, you got Eternal Life, and He will raise you up at the last day by His promise.
