<TITLE>05. Par 34-41</TITLE>L-34 Now, tonight, entering this great church age. Oh, my. Now, we may be about quarter after (tonight) nine. And now, I certainly am sorry that we don't have enough room, but--to set everybody, seat everybody, rather, but we just don't have it, and maybe someday we will.
But now I want to ask you to do me a favor. You see my stand, and you know what it's going to cost me someday (See?), and the hour's close at hand. See? Now, I want you to do this; always pray for me. And remember, I have been honest as I know how to be honest. See? And I realize that I'm no kid no more; I'm fifty-one years old. And I--I when my... I cannot go until God calls me. And I'll go the way that He wants me to go, and that'll be it. See? But I must be honest and tell the truth, regardless. So I know it's a lonesome walk sometimes, but as long as He's with you what difference does it make? See?

L-36 Now, before we enter this great church age, I wonder if we could stand now for prayer, just a moment again. That kind of lets you stretch and to feel better. On the closing service, is there... How many here would want to be remembered before God? Raise up your hands to God, "Remember me, O Lord, at the end of the age. When life is all over, remember me."

L-37 Our heavenly Father, we don't have tongues enough to express our gratitude for the Presence of the living God that's been in our midst this last week, for the things that we have learned of You, how You have revealed Yourself to us down through the time, and how You have made Your Word so plain to us. How we've waited on You, and how we have--have tried to express our love and failed to do it, Lord, 'cause mortal tongues could not do this. For even saving us, and You... For even giving us a hunger for You... For it's written in the Word, "Blessed are they that do hunger, (just to hunger, it's a blessing) hunger and thirst after righteousness." Then You made that great quotation, "For they shall be filled." Now, we believe that, Lord. Forgive us of our shortcomings.
And as we enter in tonight at--to this last church age, which is Laodicea, after we have seen the Scriptures and the history hit every time exactly right. So, Father, we know the quotation from Your great prophecy here of this last age; it will be just as the other six ages has been. Father, I pray that You'll let the Holy Spirit come to us tonight now, and bless us as we further wait on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen. (Thank you. Be seated)

L-39 If the Lord willing, the book will... soon as we can. Brother Leo is taking it off of the magnetic tape, to go on to the--go on to shorthand, from there to the type, then into the book.
And by the way, Rosella will have her book pretty soon, "An Alcoholic Saved." All of you remembers her story, how that the Holy Spirit called her in the meeting. And she was--been give up by four of the greatest alcoholic institutions, and turned away from the hospitals that there was in Chicago. And the Lord Jesus, in one moment's time, taken it all away from her. She just goes from jail to other places, telling people of how that God can deliver, talking to the alcoholics and so forth. She's been--by her testimony, won many people over to Christ.

L-41 Now, the first church age, can you tell me what it was? Ephesus. Second? Smyrna. Third? Pergamos. Fourth? Thyatira. Fifth? Sardis. Sixth? Philadelphia. Seventh? Laodicea.
The first was between A.D. 55 and 170, Ephesus; Smyrna, 170 to 312; Pergamos, 312 to 606; Thyatira, 606 to 520. Sardis, 520 to 1750; Philadelphia, 1750 to six... -06; now, it begin the Laodicean age, lapped over, and last night we got into the little lap. Now, we're, tonight, take the end of the Laodicean.
