<TITLE>14. Par 146-155</TITLE>L-146 The storms are coming. There's a hiding Place, oh, a blessed hiding Place. It's in Christ. Let us bow our heads just a moment. I want you to think sincerely and solemnly for the next moment.
Have you ever found that blessed hiding Place from the wrath? Remember, there's no two hiding places; there's just One. You might be a good member of some church, which I have no evil to say against. But if that's all you have, and your life isn't compared with the Book of Acts, if the Holy Spirit that you profess to have is not making you live like they did in the Book of Acts, and your life could write another book, you better take warning. If the first vine brought forth a Pentecostal church; the second vine, or branch, rather, out of the Vine, will bring forth another Pentecostal church, with a Pentecostal experience, bearing the same fruits that the first church had.
Are you abiding in that blessed, sacred Presence of the Lord? Have you passed from death unto Life? Are you resting upon some emotion, some psychological affect, or some intellectual speech? Or are you constantly abiding in His Presence, with the fruit of the Spirit in your life: long-suffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness? Can you bear for someone to talk about you, and you love them so much, till in your heart you pray for them? Or is it a selfish little prayer, "O Lord, I know I ought to pray for him, but..." Oh, no, brother. Does that sweetness and love of God, "Oh, sweep over my soul. O Holy Spirit, sweep over my soul." If you haven't found that place of safety, my brother...

L-149 I'll make my last visit to Phoenix someday. This may be it, all I know. The last time the Gospel will be preached over this pulpit, this may be it; I don't know. We're looking awful close to the end time. Israel's come back to her homeland, the last sign that was given.
I was looking at a picture the other night where they're packing their old, crippled, off the ships and things, coming in. They said, "Have you come back to the homeland to die?"
Said, "No, we come back to see the Messiah."
Don't worry, the fig tree's putting forth its buds; that's the last sign. The ensign, the oldest flag in the world, flies over Jerusalem. She's a nation of her own now with her own army. She was blinded for a little season, but she's coming together again. God promised it. The end of the Gentiles will be then. They're looking for a Messiah.
You know, God was asked one time, "You... Can You forget Israel?"
Said, "How high is the skies? How deep is the earth? Measure it."
The prophet said, "I can't."
He said, "Neither can I ever forget Israel. It's the apple of My eye."
There's the last sign. Jesus said, "When you see the fig tree putting forth its buds, know the time is nigh, even at the door." Israel begin to be restored. They got their own money, about four weeks ago. She has her own currency, everything. She's a full nation. What are we waiting for? The closing of the Gentiles.

L-155 And the last sign that was prophesied to be given to the Gentiles, has been shown the nation and world around, as they did in the days of Sodom, when He said, "Where is Sarah, thy wife?" A Stranger, how did He know it was Sarah? And how'd He know her name was Sarah, and Abraham's wife?
Said, "She's in the tent behind you."
And Sarah laughed within herself back in the tent. The Man said, "Why did Sarah laugh?"
Jesus said, "When this comes to pass, the time is at hand." Done seen it. Passed over. The next is judgment.
