<TITLE>13. Par 143-145</TITLE>L-143 Brother, sister, that's what the church ought to do. We don't need the shade of these towering Babylons today of modernism. We need the blessings of each other together, our testimony, and our Christian love and brotherhood shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Ghost. That makes the shadow then, and I can take my brother by the hand, my sister by the hand, and know that we are citizens of the Kingdom of God, that we love one another, and we stand together in this one great cause, the cause of Christ. Whether you're a Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Oneness, Twoness, Threeness, whatever you are, it makes no difference, as long as the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin and we have fellowship one with another, that's what we want, brotherhood, fellowship.

L-144 They stood in the fields. They refused to stand in the shadow of the walls. The people thought that was strange. It is a strange act. What happened? All of a sudden, there came an earthquake that shook the walls to the ground. If the little birds would've been in there, they and their babies would've been like the woman, her husband and her babies, in Miami--or Okeechobee, they would've died with the falling of the walls. If the cattle would've stood around to take that support from the walls, they would've perished with the walls. That's been three years ago. I've got the newspaper clip; no, Tommy Nickel's has it now for the Christian Men's Voice. The headlines in the paper says, "The birds are returning back to their places. The cattle is coming from the field."

L-145 If the God, in the days of Moses--in the days of Noah could warn the cattle and the birds to come into safety in the ark, destruction was coming, a storm, He's still the same God tonight. He still loves cattle and birds. And if He made a way for a bird and a cow to escape the wrath of judgment, how much more has He made a way of escape for you and I, who are the off-springs of His creation. How much more has He made a way of escape for us. We feel the Holy Spirit tugging at our heart. The hour is coming. We see the shadows of the--the atomic age; we see the shadows of the hydrogen age; we see nations a-breaking, Israel awakening.
Nations are breaking, Israel is awakening,
The signs that the prophets foretold;
The Gentile days numbered, with horrors encumbered;
Return, O dispersed, to your own.
That's the way today. You all know Haywood's old song.
The day of redemption is near,
Men's hearts are failing for fear;
Be filled with the Spirit, your lamps trimmed and clear,
Look up! Your redemption is near.
