<TITLE>13. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 And when I got there, I picked up a paper, and it said, "The earthquake must be over." I've got it, clipping's at home. I beg pardon, the Christian Businessmen's used it to run in the--their--their digest. So I... It said on there, "The earthquake must be over." Said, "Three days ago, two days before the earthquake come..."
In India they don't have fences, woven wire like we have here in Washington and around. They pick up rocks on the field. There's four hundred and seventy people, or four hundred seventy million people in India, and looked to me like about four hundred million of them was beggars. So they--they've got a lot of natural resource, but no mental powers to develop it. So they pick up rocks and make their houses, pick up rocks and make their fences. And little birds go in these rocks and build their nests. Well, and then of an evening, where there's no shade, the cattle will stand around these big tall fences for the shade when the sun's so hot. But for two days, the little birds had completely left all these little coves in there for their nests, and went out into the fields in the bushes. All the cattle, of the evening, they used to stand around the fence, and all the sheep and everything, they get right out in the middle of the field and lean against one another, standing right in the hot sun.

L-45 The people didn't know what was the matter. Said, "Look at the birds, by swarms, leaving the walls going away. They won't roost that night. They don't come back. They leave and don't return. The sheep won't even come around the fences; they stand out there against one another, and the cattle." That earthquake come and shook those walls down. Then the birds come back. It was a sign the earthquake was over.
Brother, the same God that could lead the sheep, and the birds to the ark in the days of the antediluvian destruction, is that same God, today, Who can... And if God can speak to a bird to flee from danger, "Get away from these big walls of Babylon of unbelief; there's coming a shaking time." The Holy Spirit showing signs and wonders of the destruction at hand.

L-46 Look, it could happen at any time. There's not one thing left. The coming of the Lord is at hand. We see in the hangars of Russia and all the different worlds, bombs and things that would destroy the complete world in one snap. The world could not stand it. And before that takes place, the Church is going to glory. Remember, before any rain ever fell, Noah was in the ark safety. Before any fire ever fell, the Angel said to Lot, "Get thee hence. Get out of here, 'cause I can do nothing until you've gone hence, got away from here."
Church going out before the destruction comes, and the scientific world says, "It's three minutes until midnight." The clock's ticked away all the time. Eternity is fixing to set in. The world knows, the scientific world knows, that.. Said, "It would scare the people to death."
You've heard the... If they'd put it out on radio and so forth... We know that time is at hand. And if it could happen before morning, and the going of the Church goes before that happens, how close is the coming of Christ? Amen. Hallelujah.
Brother, I'll tell you; you can't dig deep enough to hide from one of them bombs. They'll blow a hole in the ground for a hundred and fifty miles, two hundred feet deep. How you going to get down there? If you build a--a iron cage or a building, five hundred feet deep, the concussion would break every bone in your body. It's got in such a place, there is no hiding place down here. You could cry to the rock. But I'm telling you; there is a bomb shelter at that. It's made out of feathers, under His wings. Amen. That's the shelter, the everlasting shelters of His...?... in glory. That's the place of refuge, the place to flee to.
