<TITLE>20. Par 176-186</TITLE>L-176 Now, Josephus, the great historian said, "The only thing that survived it was them disciples of--of Christ who were cannibals." One of the historians said they were cannibals, said, "They took a man named Jesus of Nazareth, that Pilate crucified, and they stole his body out of the grave, and went out and would cut it up and eat it."
What they were doing was taking communion, "the body of the Lord," you know, like we do here. See?
And said, "They were the only ones that survived it, because they got out of the city." They knowed the sound.
Oh, brother, may the Holy Spirit get in our hearts this morning, give us the sound of that heartbeat of the Holy Ghost and His power. Only that will be able to survive: that sound of the trumpet of God, and our hearts prepared for this hour to know what to do.

L-180 "We which are alive and remain shall not prevent or hinder those which are asleep, for the trumpet shall sound." All those soldiers laying yonder, asleep, across through the ages, but when the trumpet sounds... Though they be dead in sleep, it shall not hinder them, for the trumpet shall sound and awaken them. They're prepared.
Those unprepared don't know the sound. When that--when that Sound of the coming of the Lord blasts, it'll shake heaven and hell when it blasts. But those who are in hell, those who are lost, don't know that sound. They don't know what to do. But those, though they be sleeping in Christ, they know that certain Sound.
Oh, the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather to their homes beyond the sky,
And when that roll is called up yonder, I want to be there.
Put your name on the Lamb's Book of Life today by the Blood of the Lord Jesus, and it won't be an uncertain sound.

L-184 Now, we hear the sounding of trouble coming, atomic bombs hanging everywhere, distress between the nations, perplexed of time. Why would we worry about job? Why would we worry about homes? Why would we worry about anything? Jesus never told us to worry, but said, "When you see these things begin to come to pass, lift up your head, and rejoice, because your redemption's drawing nigh." That's the certainty of the sound of the Gospel.

L-186 When we see the Holy Spirit come into the church, begin to discern the thoughts of the hearts, doing these great signs, and return of the Spirit back in the evening time when the Lights are shining, we see Him come and do the very same thing He did there at Sodom before it burnt down; see that Angel with His back turned, say, "Why did Sarah laugh?" behind Him. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." What is it? It's the sounding forth of the coming of the Lord Jesus.
"Behold, I'll send you Elijah the prophet before that great and terrible day shall destroy the world. He'll restore the hearts of the children back to the original faith, back to the Gospel, back to the power of God, back to the real Holy Spirit, back to Christ again, before that great day comes." We hear the trumpet sounding. Oh, my. What is it?
Awake, ye saints of the Lord,
... why slumber when the end is nearing,
... let's get ready for that final call.
If it gives an uncertain sound, who shall prepare themselves for battle, if it's uncertain? But it's not uncertain.
