<TITLE>43. Par 371-376</TITLE>L-371 But now, let me read the next verse.
But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, go your way out of the city in the same day,... Even the very dust of the city, which cleaves on--on us, we... (Let's see now.)... Even the... And even the very dust of your city, which cleaves on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this that the Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment for Sodom, than for that city.
Oh, brother, with that blessed assurance. If they don't see, receive you, go ahead, just say, "Well, if you don't want me, I'll just wipe the dust off--and off my shoes, and go right on out." In other words, say, "I never took nothing; if I eat anything, I'll pay you for it," and just go on. He said, "Verily..." And every one of those cities that they went to and was not received, every one of them is sunk and gone today. And every city--city that received them, is standing till this day. There you are.

L-373 Now, one more, then closing. Let's see, we got 10. 11:29 to 31, Luke 11:29 to 31, then we'll be closing. Oh, I love This.
And when the people had gathered...
Let's see, have I got... Is that Luke, Luke 11:29? Yes, I guess this would be it. Yeah.
And when the people were gathered thick together, he begin to say, This is a evil generation: that seeketh a sign; and there shall be no sign given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
For as Jonah was a sign unto Nineveh, so... also the Son of man be to this generation.
The queen of the south shall rise... in the judgment with... this generation, and shall condemn it: when she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and... condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

L-375 What am I saying now? Closing, I'll just have to let the rest of it go. But in closing, I want to say this because I've kept you so long. What's He saying here? There will come a day that a wicked and a generation, adulterous (now remember.) will seek a sign. And this is a wicked and an adulterous generation." And He said, "That generation will receive a sign." What bound--binds with the rest of the Bible, the sign of Jonah. "Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and nights; so must the Son of man be in the belly of the--the earth three days and nights." What will it be? The sign of the resurrection. See? The sign of the resurrection will be done in a wicked and adulterous generation, and it was done in the Book of the Acts. Jesus raised from the dead, come into Peter, James, and John, and the apostles, and they did this Book of the Acts. It wasn't the acts of the apostles; it was the acts of the Holy Ghost working in the apostles.

L-376 It's not a man today; it's the Holy Ghost working through a man, or men (See?), that does the work. It's not the man; the man's just a vessel (See?), but the Holy Ghost is the Oil that's in that vessel. See?
And look what they did; look at the signs that they done of Jesus. They had to take notice to them 'cause... They--they--they were ignorant, unlearned: Peter and John. But they had to take notice to them; they had been with Jesus. They done the things that He did. So you see, every Book in the Bible, every... The four Books, the four Gospels guard the Pentecostal blessing with every Scripture to back up exactly what they said. And now the Acts of the apostles vindicates today with the four Gospels that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do you love Him?
