<TITLE>17. Par 55-58</TITLE>L-55 That's how He made Hisself known to the Jews; that's how He made Hisself known to the Samaritans. Now, if He lets the Gentiles come into judgment, without bringing them the same way He made Hisself known there, then He's unjust. If we pass into the judgment (into glory) upon technical theology, He didn't treat us like He did them. He gave them His Messiahic sign, and they... Many of them disunderstood it. Many of them understood it and embraced it, and Jesus said just before His coming this would come again. And it hasn't been since then, but it's in the evening lights.
One Scripture, I'll close. The prophet said, "There'll be a day that'll not be neither night nor day; but in the evening time, it shall be light." All prophecy's inspired.
Notice, the same sun that rises in the east, comes over the horizon and sets in the west; not another sun, the same sun. And when the Holy Spirit fell, and when Jesus came, It fell on the Eastern people.
Jesus said, "When He, the Holy Ghost, is come, He will teach you those things. Bring to remembrance of the things that I've said to you, and will show you things to come." That's what He did.

L-56 Now, after the first or second round of disciples, there come to a time the first reformation... The Catholic Church in about A.D. 66, according to the early Nicene fathers' history, I think... And then they formed the Catholic Church, which means "the universal church, universal prayers." After that there was fifteen hundred years of dark ages. Then come Martin Luther; God poured a little Spirit back in His church. Then come the Methodist Age, sanctified, and they still become less in the minor--in the minority; then come Pentecost.
See what it is? It's... He's filling His Church. And now, as my hand is a shadow going to the wall, it's dim in the distance, but closer it gets, the more positive it become. The Lutherans, justified; the Methodist, sanctified; the Pentecostal, filled with the Holy Ghost.

L-57 Like a grain of corn goes into the ground, comes up, it's got two little blades. You say, "Praise God for the crop." You haven't got it yet, but potentially you have; that's the Lutherans.
Then it went up into a tassel. And the tassel looked back down at the leaf and said, "I have no need of you, not at all. We are a Methodist. We got something that you didn't have." But if you only knowed, it took the life that was in the leaf to make the tassel.
Then the tassel blowed off, and got into the--and pollen got into the leaf. And the first thing you know, it produced a ear of corn, grains on it, Pentecost, like the thing that went into the ground; the original grain come back. Then the Pentecost says, "Hm-m, we ain't got no need of any of you." But it was the life that was in both of them that made you. Certainly.

L-58 Now, Pentecost is shaking down, and it's coming so positive. What was Pentecost? What is the ear? To restore, like it was at the beginning. Same Holy Spirit, just more of it to restore the gifts. Now, the manifestation, forty years, has been through Divine healing, and signs and wonders, and so forth. But now, the last sign that was given to a church that was looking for the Messiah, a Messiahic sign was given. To the Jews, to the Samaritans, and now it's evening time. It's been a dismal day.
You know, it's enough light to see to get around, join church and be a good man. But in the evening time, it shall be light. The clouds is rolled back; that same Jesus, that same Holy Spirit that moved in the Eastern people is moving in the Western people. The same Holy Ghost, same signs, same wonders, same Jesus, the same yesterday, today, and forever, bringing forth the same results, the same critics; the same unbelief strikes it. But it shall prevail; it shall move on.
