<TITLE>16. Par 59-62</TITLE>L-59 "Now, my daughter, you must remember who you are. You have great prestige. Your mother went to this church; your father went to this church; your grandfather and grandmother, and their grandfather and grandmother went to this church. Now, there's no such stuff as that; don't you be carried away with some of that fanaticism."
You know people die, but spirits don't. So they still live on, have the same attitudes.
"So now, don't you hang around that bunch. They must be holy-rollers up there. Don't you listen to them. Now, if there's anything going on like that, it'd happen in our church." See? "It would be down here with us," they'd say. "That's the way it would be." You see?

L-60 So then the first thing you know, she said, "But look, sir..." Let's listen to what she said, "But look, sir, all I've heard of my great grandmother, and mother, and so forth has all just a bunch of creeds and things that you're reciting here, looking at some kind of a idol. And we've never seen one move yet. I never seen nothing but a bunch of people that lives like the world coming here, and reciting creeds, and going back, and I've seen no supernatural sign of any life in any idol or in the church. And they tell me that they got the article that God lives with them. I'm going anyhow." Amen. I like that.
You let God go to dealing with a heart there ain't enough priests in the world to keep them away from it, enough fanatics either to keep them away from it. They're coming anyhow; God goes to dealing with the human heart.
I can see her turn, go out of the church. Now, remember, she was a woman to begin with, a little lady that had to go... Now, remember she said this too. She said, "Now, I'm going up there to see about it. The first thing I better do would be buy a lot of Jewish scrolls, and see what kind of a God Jehovah is."
It's good idea. "Search the Scriptures for Them, They are They that testify of Me." All right.

L-61 Then she searched the scrolls, and found out all what was on the scrolls how Jehovah was, what His nature was, what He did. That's a good thing for every Bible reader. When you come to a meeting, you can't understand it, see if it's with the Scripture. If it ain't Scriptural throw the thing away. If it is the Scripture, receive it. That's right. What... Do what Jesus said do.
Then she bought the scrolls, and she read them over. She said, "Well, I know the scrolls speak it; He's that kind of a... The prophets all say that He's that kind of a God, and He is the God of that type. So I'm going up there, and I'm going to take a lot of money with me. If it is the truth, I'll support it. If it isn't the truth, then I'm not going to support it. I'll bring my money back."
That would be a good lesson for a lot of Americans. If--if the American people would support that which is right, that which proves to be God, but they support everything else but that nearly. I guess it just has to be that way.

L-62 Now remember, she saddled up her camels, and took a few maids with her, and the eunuchs from the temple. And she started off on her journey.
Now, remember she didn't have to go just across the street. She had hundreds of miles through the Sahara desert, not in an air conditioned Cadillac, but on the back of a camel. No wonder Jesus said, "She'll rise at the day of judgment and condemn this generation."
Some people won't walk across the street to see one of the meetings, and she come from the utmost parts of the world to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold a greater than Solomon is here. Solomon's God is with us, sure, doing the same thing He did in Solomon's day. No wonder Jesus said she'd rise in the judgment and condemn this generation.
And another thing she had lots of money, myrrh, and frankincense. Oh, it--it was... There's no way to numerate the price, tens of thousands of dollars worth of it. Now, she had to cross the desert. Ishmael's children was out there on the desert, and they were robbers.
