<TITLE>14. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 Now, you notice, He never went to any Gentile, and forbid His church to go. Now, just one moment now. I want to ask you something. Jesus speaking of His coming... You remember, He didn't go to the Gentiles. Why? They wasn't looking for Him. We Gentile, Anglo-Saxon, was walking around with a club on our back two thousand years ago, much more than cavemen. We wasn't looking for no Messiah, so He only comes to those who are looking for Him. You want to see Him? Are you looking for Him? That's how He comes, when you're looking for Him.
Some minister said to me not long ago, "I do not believe in Divine healing."
I said, "Well, there's too much evidence against you, sir: the Bible, and--and--and--and the--the evidence," I said. "I can produce thousands and thousands of cases, tens of thousands."
Said, "I don't care; I don't believe it."
I said, "'Course it wasn't sent to unbelievers; it was only to those who believe. It's not for unbelievers."
"To him that believeth..." Not to unbelievers. It's a stumbling block to him; a stepping stone to the believer. Then when it come to the place...

L-44 Before Jesus left, He predicted the end of the Gentile world. He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."
If you'll pardon me, you precious ones who are standing in balcony, in the aisles, and around the walls. I don't want to cramp you. But I don't know, we may never meet again this side of the river. I want you to sit... be sure that you got Scriptural what I'm talking to you about. It's not something that I've made up; it's what the Bible has said and promised.
Now let's see, we all know that Jesus made that quotation in Luke: "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."

L-45 Did you notice? The people were segregated in three different sections, three different classes. There was the Sodomites. Many Bible readers knows what that is: It's a perversion. And I read it... I just read in San Jose a few weeks ago, at the fairgrounds where we had a meeting... And homosexual is on the increase of about thirty percent or more over Los Angeles: men with men, perverted from the natural course of life, signs of the end time. Washington's full of it, the nation's full of it, beatniks, perversions, everything. "As it was in the days of Sodom," said Jesus, "it'll be that way just before the coming of the Son of God."

L-46 How the world is perverted, uncensored television cast, people staying home to watch television, instead of going to church. What a disgrace! You're hungering for something, thirsting for something. God made you to thirst; that's the way He made you. How dare you... You've got no right to try to hush that holy thirst with the things of the world, when you're supposed to thirst after God, and He will fill that thirst with the Holy Spirit. You've got no right to give that precious thirst, that God the Creator made you a place in your heart to thirst for something, and you try to satisfy it with the things of the world: sin, drinking, gambling, running around, sinful. You have no right to that; God be merciful to this nation and others.
"As it was in the days of Sodom..." There was three: One was the Sodomites; that's the world. The next was Lot: the church nominal, just the--just the church that goes to the church, and says, "I..." As I said last night (quoted David duPlessis) grandchildren. Just took into the church because that...
"Well, mama belonged to the Methodist church, Baptist church, Pentecostal church. I'm as natural a Baptist or Presbyterian." That's a grandchild. God has got no grandchildren; they're all sons and daughters. You've got to be borned again, just like papa and mama was, or you're not a child of God. He has no grandchildren. If you're a Methodist and a son of God, God bless you, or a Baptist son of God, or--or Pentecostal son of God, just as long as you're a son of God, no matter what church you belong.
