<TITLE>08. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 He said, "They'll seek after a sign, and they will get it." Look at the Scriptures. He said, "They'll get a sign. For as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and nights, so the Son of man will be in the belly of the earth or the heart of the earth three days and nights."
What kind of a sign will that wicked and evil adulterous generation get? The sign of the resurrection, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. That's the sign that they were promised. God keeps His Word. They get--they are getting, and they've gotten it, the sign of the resurrection, the Lord Jesus manifesting Himself amongst people, the same signs and wonders that He did when He was on earth. They will receive a sign.

L-28 Then He said, "The queen of the south shall stand in the day of judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the utmost parts of the known earth at that day to hear the wisdom of Solomon."
Now, you're speaking of the time, Solomon. Now, any theologian, Bible reader, knows that that was the Millennium almost for the Jews. It was when Israel prospered, and great wonders were done, and great signs, and so forth taken place. And they built the temple in the reign of Solomon, which was the son of David, a type of the Lord Jesus. And it was all... David had fought down the nations, till they all feared Israel. And to make their golden age for them, God sent a mighty gift amongst the people.

L-29 When God sends a gift to the people and they'll recognize it, it's always a golden age. But when they refuse it, there's nothing left but a chaos for that generation. Now, listen closely. If God had sent the Holy Spirit in this age for a sign, and we reject It, there's nothing left but a destruction. But if we refuse it, we'll sure to be blowed off the earth. The atomic bombs are hanging ready now, each one afraid to pull the trigger.
But someday, they'll have too much vodka and press the trigger. And when that--that bomb passes through that radar, sound... When it goes through there, there'll be others go the other way. And you know what will take place? The world can't stand it. And the Gospel's been preached, and Christ is being made manifested to the people, just before the rapture of the taking away of the Church. Before that can happen, the Church will be gone.
And if we know that that could happen before morning... And before that happens, the Church will be gone. Before one drop of rain fell, Noah was in the ark. Before one speck of fire fell from the heavens, Lot was out of Sodom. Before that atomic bomb can...?... the nations, the Church will be gone to glory. As it was in the days of Noah, and in the days of Lot... See the preparation we spoke of last night? We're here.

L-30 And all the people, with one accord, rallied around that great gift that God gave Solomon. Everybody believed it. What if we all believe it today? Not one would take the whole nation; what if all the churches would believe the Holy Spirit and rally around the Holy Spirit the way they rallied around Solomon. And which is the greatest: Solomon or the Holy Spirit? A greater than Solomon is here. And the people doesn't want to believe it.
Kindy tears down, worldly prestige... The Holy Spirit makes you do things that you didn't think you would do. But we go to school, and we get highly educated, and we feel like that we have to go according to that trend. And the Holy Spirit comes in and works through the humble, little bunch of people.
And then, somebody that's a little higher tries, or a little longer, got a bigger name, begins to say, "Oh, they're just a bunch of common, oh, backwash."
