<TITLE>10. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 Now, if you notice, just before the first World War they received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in this country and other countries. See? Now, when we seen the greatest thing, the greatest revival, the greatest ministries that's ever been known since the days of Jesus Christ, has crossed this nation. Tell me when, where, whereabouts did we ever, ever read in a book or hear or even know of ministry like we have today. Now, what's going to follow it? Judgment, to reject it.
Look at the ministry of our Lord. Because they rejected it, we had in the service last night, by rejecting it, what happened? Judgment followed. Certainly, always. Because they... Look, the Holy Spirit fell in Russia about a hundred years ago. Did you know that? Certainly it did. They rejected it. What did they get? It fell in Germany before it fell here. What did they get? They wouldn't accept the cross, so they got a double cross, a swastika. See?
And now, because that we turned down as a nation... And I truly believe we made our fatal mistake in '56. And when we... Now, remember, I've got it on record (See?), and you just remember; she'll never come back again; she's finished. That's right. We're gleaning. But it'll never come back again. There'll never be a great revival sweep this nation before judgment. She's coming to judgment; it's on its road there now. Most any time it will arrive. I do myself believe, that before this great judgment strikes the nation, that the second coming of Jesus will take His church from the earth. I believe it.
Now, we know that the world cannot stand an atomic blast. God has made a way for us to escape it. But if we refuse to escape it, then He's going to ask, why didn't we take it?

L-27 Now, He's done everything that He promised in the Bible. Now, many peoples... I'm not differing with the scholars. No, sir. But I only work by revelation; the revelation has to be the Word. If it isn't according to the Word, then it's a wrong revelation. Many are looking for great things to happen, and they're applying that over into Israel and not in the church. Take the first three chapters of Revelations and you got the church right there. Then John was caught up from the church age. Now, so our day is just about finished, the church. The Gospel will now return to the Jews in Palestine. And then the Gentile age is finished, as far as it is the--the church age, the real, Spirit filled church.

L-28 God makes a way, and then the people doesn't walk in it; He says, "Why?" One time the King of Israel... Because one day he was walking out in his lattices of his porch, and he fell through the lattice, and he--it hurt him, he taken a disease and a sickness from it. And so he took his bed. And being the King of Israel, yet instead of sending to inquire of God, he sent some of his man up to Ekron to require of Baalim--Beelzebub, the gods up there, their prophets, whether he was going to get well or not.
Now, you know God reveals His secrets to His prophets; we know that. To His servants, He reveals that. And Elijah was probably back over in his cave. And how did he know that the king pulled these men in, took two or three men and said, commissioned them, and said, "Now, you go over across our nation, take you several days, and go down to Ekron. And when you get down there, there will be--you'll meet Baal, the--the god of--of Ekron, and then I... You enquire of his prophet to ask Baalim, if I'm going to get well or not."
But you know, being that he was an Israelite, then God revealed it to Elijah the prophet. And He said, "Go up and stand in the way and stop them." And so these soldiers, or temple guards came by, walking down the road, talking, with the strict commission to go up to consult the heathen god about this because all the nation had went into sin.
