<TITLE>05. Par 12-15</TITLE>L-12 Then where did we find ourself last night, brethren? We found ourself at the very end of the road, right down at the last thing, and the church receiving it's last sign. And then to bless it all, He came in among us, last night, and went throughout the audience and done the same thing He did at Sodom. Where could there be any slip up? Where could we be mistaken at?
Then the night before that, we taken Israel in the wilderness and showed just exactly what the church is: Israel. Now, we find out in I Corinthians, the 10th chapter, it said that all those things happened to Israel for examples to us. Now, we find out that they was examples. Showing what God did for them is just a shadow of what He does there, what He did, natural, He's doing spiritual.

L-13 You notice in the Bible, the 12th chapter, the woman, in the 12th chapter of Revelations, with the moon under her feet and the sun at her head, showing the law fading out. As soon as the sun rises, the moon goes down. The moon is a wife to the sun. Oh, I love that kind of Bible reading. See, the sun and the moon is a type of Christ and the church. When the sun goes down, out of sight, it's not down, it's just out of sight from the world. It reflects it's light back to the moon to give light in it's absence.
So that's what Christ did when He went into Glory. He reflects His Light back on His church to give light until He returns. Beautiful. Oh, my, to think that the sun, if you want, reflecting it's life on the moon to show light. And the light...

L-14 Also the moon itself is a watchdog. God set the boundaries of the sea and set the moon to watch it. And the sea, how angry it jumps at the banks; it'll like to destroy everything on the earth, because it did one time, you know.
And to see sin, heaping... The waves, beat those big waves against the banks. And remember, in the last days was predicted tidal waves: sea roaring, men's hearts failing, fear, perplex of nation, distress. That would be the end time signs. We've went through all of that, down along the road. Now, here we are, right up to the last sign to Abraham's children, and even brought in the names of the messengers, just like it was in Abraham's time, to show there's no slip up nowhere--Bible: THUS SAITH THE LORD.
And then the church sets, dead. Ball games, attractions of the city, and the worldly things has the church all lured away. The Bible said they'd be heady, high minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness. Hotel rooms, full of drunks; you can't even sleep. Sunday school teachers, people going to church, church members, having a little clean American fun. Sinful, oh, this old world's a staggering like a drunk man coming home of a morning.

L-15 What happened? When all these sins begin to get like that in the days of Sodom, women, half naked, running through the rooms of the hotels and men, drunk, following behind them... That ain't off somewhere else; that's here.
And then what happened? God said, "I've come down to find out whether all these reports are true." The true children crying out, "Come, Lord Jesus." Maybe one in a city. As we ask the other night as the Holy Spirit told us in the Bible, only sealed those who sigh and cry for the abominations did in the city. Where would they be sealed? Where is the sealing of the people? Let's not be deceived. Let's be right.
