<TITLE>10. Par 34-36</TITLE>L-34 Now, notice. Now, we always thought Jonah got out of the will of God. He did not. Nineveh was a big city, full of sin, backslidden. Just about like, almost the size of St. Louis, great city. Many thousands of people there that went off in sin, begin to worship idols. And now, their main idol, their main god of the sea... Their occupation was fishing, and the main god of the sea was the whale.
And when this whale come right in amongst the fishermen, licked out his tongue for a gangplank, and the prophet walked right out of the whale's mouth, sure, they're going to believe it. God delivered His prophet right out to them. God knows how to do things. Might sound silly, but that's what He did.

L-35 Now, notice. A long ways around getting to the point, but notice. Jesus said... Catch this now; here it comes. Let your heart open. Jesus said, "A wicked and an adulterous generation seeketh after a sign." Now, He couldn't have been talking to them because He wasn't dead yet. But said there will be given them a sign. The sign: "As Jonas was in the belly of the whale for three days and nights, so must the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and nights." Otherwise, what kind of a sign would a wicked and adulterous generation find, have give to them?
Now, you can talk about all the signs you want to, here's a sign that He said: that a wicked and an adulterous generation... And this is it. Sodomites is spreading the earth. Doubt, unbelief, isms, all kinds of things spreading the earth. It's a wicked and an adulterous generation. But He said they will receive the sign of the resurrection. Hallelujah. What? Jesus Christ alive among us, walking in our midst. He's not dead. "The works that I do shall you also. A little while and the world seeth Me no more; yet ye shall see Me, for I will be with you." 'I' is a personal pronoun. "I'll be with you (not somebody else), but I will..."

L-36 "I'll be with..." Who? The believers. "The world won't see Me, but ye shall see Me, for I'll be with you." How? "In you." How far? Till the apostles' generation? "Until the end of the world: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." The end of the consummation... The great prophet Elijah to appear on the scene, a woman hater, wilderness man with a message that's to turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers.
Remember, He had a compound coming. Remember Malachi 4. Malachi 3 spoke of John the Baptist coming, as Jesus referred to; why the prophets say, "My messenger." But remember, the Malachi, that's coming in Malachi 4, watch the last verse of it. We know that wasn't John, because He said He'd burn the earth with a heat, and the righteous would walk out upon the ashes of the wicked. So it never happened when John came, but that Elijah is prophesied again today.
Notice, the first Elijah was to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, the old orthodox to the new message was going on that he was giving. And then... "And (is a conjunction to tie the verse together) the hearts of the children back to the fathers..."
And then the message of John in the last days (or the message of Elijah, the Spirit that'll be in the church) will be--take the hearts of the people that's fallen away from the Pentecostal fathers, and turn their hearts back to the original Message of Pentecost again, as it started. The messenger of the covenant, the seventh star of the day, we're living in that day.
