<TITLE>15. Par 48-50</TITLE>L-48 We're living in the last days, at the closing age, the Laodicean Age, one of the darkest ages that's ever been since the Dark Ages, a more hypocritical age right now than there was then. They had no Light at all. Twilight is a deceiving hour. Anyone knows in travel, you better slow down a little bit when twilight comes. Is that right? We're to have a messenger in this twilight. Did you know that? God promised it at the Laodicean Age.
I was reading in the Scriptures the other day up in the mountain. I was reading there, and the Holy Spirit told me to go up to a certain tree and stand there. He wanted to speak to me. I stood there for a half hour. He never said nothing. I laid down under this oak tree, and laid myself out. I said, "Lord, You spoke to me about a mile up here, and said come up here on the mountain here (this Sportsman's Hollow, as I called it), and You'd speak to me. Then He showed me, when He opened up Malachi, the 4th chapter. And I said... "Behold the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, burn up the proud..." (If you want to put it down, Malachi 4.)
And He said, "It shall burn the proud, and the--and the righteous shall walk out upon the ashes of the wicked." Well, then... And He said, "Behold I send to you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord shall come; it shall... And He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children of the fathers, or the children's hearts to the fathers."

L-49 Well, I said, "That was right. I believe that." Jesus said when the disciples asked Him that, they said, "Well, why did the...?" When He was claiming to be the Messiah, said, "Why does the scribes say that Elias must first come?"
Jesus said, "He's already come, and you didn't know him." And then they understood that He spoke of John the Baptist. How many ever heard that? Well, my, you all have read the Bible. John the Baptist... But remember, that wasn't the Elijah that He spoke of of the last days, 'cause the world never burnt and the millennium set in. Watch the Scripture. Watch the reading of it. Turn to Malachi 4 just a minute. Watch there. I never knew that before. I never try to speak anything until the Holy Spirit comes first to reveal it. Watch, Malachi 4:5...
 Behold, I will send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great... day of the Lord... (that great terrible day that He will burn the earth):
 And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers,...

L-50 Watch. The first time Elijah come, he turned the hearts of the fathers, the old patriarch fathers (See?), back there, the old Jews, to the faith of the children that'd just received Him, and believed of the coming Messiah. "Turned the hearts of the fathers to the children, and (a conjunction, tying the sentence together, when He comes the second time) the hearts of the children back to the Pentecostal fathers." Hallelujah. There you are.
So how can the evening Light be anything but back to Acts again? Right. When He said before that day comes, that'll burn the earth like an oven and the righteous will walk out upon their ashes... Oh, brother, we are looking for a Light to come. It's here.
And remember, when this Elijah comes... I'll give you some of his description. When Elijah comes, that's the messenger to the Laodicean church Age. We find Elijah coming before... Remember, Elijah was the one that went up on a chariot, never tasted death. And the message of this great messenger that'll come in this closing day in the Laodicean church Age, the Pentecostal Age, will be the one that'll take the church to the rapture. Exactly. He was raptured himself, and he will come with the church to the rapture.
