<TITLE>31. Par 290-297</TITLE>L-290 And there is never one time that God ever organized His church. The mother of organized churches is the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The Roman Catholic church, it's the mother of the organizations. And as soon as the revival breaks in any Protestant group, they go right back and do the same thing. And the Bible said she was a whore. And her... She had daughters which was churches off of her. They had to be women to be harlots. There she is. So we're setting...

L-291 But He also said this: "Fear not, little flock, it's your Father's good will to give you the Kingdom." So may we all at that day, you Methodists, Baptists, whatever you are, "Whosoever will open the door, I'll come in and sup with him."
May we be counted, my brethren, my sisters, may we be counted that little flock at that day. May we be part of that little flock that'll be waiting when He comes, as He comes to pick it up across the world. For the--the rapture will be universal. "There'll be two in the bed; I'll take one; two in the field, and I'll take one." Shows it'll be night on one side of the earth and daylight on the other. See? "So two will be in bed, two will be in the field." See? "I'll take one of each."

L-293 And as I said this morning, you'll be riding down the road some of these days, talking to mother, and you'll look around, she'll be gone. You be setting at the table, drinking your--your coffee or eating your breakfast, or--or something, and the first thing you know, look around and dad isn't there no more. That's exactly right. It's coming, and we don't know what time. But the thing of it is, when it's over then it's over; then there's nothing else you can do about it. You say, "I've heard that a long time." But you're going to hear it your last time. That's right. It's going to happen, because It's the Word of the Lord. And remember, has it failed any time through these eight nights that I've been preaching, but what--what Jesus said here, has come to pass, and done every church age just exactly?

L-294 And we see this church age right into it, and at the very hour... Even this morning in typing the virgins, the very time that the sleeping virgin... Now, you remember, the Bible said that the sleeping virgin, when the cry went out, "Behold, the Bridegroom coming," the coming of the Lord, the preaching of the Word... And then what happened? The time is at hand, atomic bombs and everything ready; the preachers running in the streets and begin to scream the message.
And as soon as they do, the big church then, the sleeping virgin, said, "Oh, well, we just Presbyterian a long time; maybe we would study and find out. Yes, you know, I believe we do need the Holy Ghost." And they're writing pamphlets and everything about It now, starting out. And they said, "Would you give us some of It?"
And they said, "No, we just got enough for ourself."

L-297 So when they went to get the Holy Ghost, went to pray up, like the churches, the big fine churches are doing today, the organizations... When they went to get the Oil, the Bridegroom came. So they're trying to get it right now, great churches, organizations, great international meetings about it in the--in the organized churches, saying, "We got to get back to the Pentecostal blessing. We got to have Divine healers in the church. We got to have speakers with tongues. We got to have interpreters of tongues. We got to have all these spiritual gifts in our church, and we're just going to have to start meetings and start doing it." They're getting councils, started to do it. While they're gone to do that, it's at that very time that the Bridegroom come and got those who had the Oil in their lamps and went away.
Then they come, and what happened? They were cast into outer darkness (the great tribulation period) where there'll be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, while the Bride is in heaven, Oh, my.
