<TITLE>11. Par 38-40</TITLE>L-38 Politics is all... I believe democracy, certainly; I'm an American, and I believe in democracy, but, oh, my, at the rotten things that's in democracy. That's it.
So it shows that all these man-made earthly ideas has to give away to a Kingdom that's coming. I've had the privilege of standing on the grounds in Egypt, where the pharaohs stood and murdered the people... Where the gladiators and so forth... You dig twenty feet under the earth to get their kingdom, where it set. I've stood where the pharaohs stood. I've stayed where the... And the--the great coliseums and--and the-the different places in--in Rome, and the--and in the... pharaohs and so forth... And their kingdoms is fallen. And instead of just looking out here to see them, you have to dig down to find the ruins of them. Show that every man-made kingdom, every man-made system, has to give away.
So you see, I don't care what kind of a democracy, how many U.N.'s we build, how many League of Nations or anything we got; it's all decaying.
 Time is filled with swift translation,
 Naught on earth unmoved will stand;
 Build your hopes on things eternal,
 Hold to God's unchanging hand.
 When this journey is completed,
 And to God you have been true,
 Fair and bright your home in glory,
 Your enraptured soul shall view.

L-39 Don't care how much money you can make, or how many buildings you could build, or how much president you could come of any company; it's falling, crumbling.
The thought's in my mind now, of that third angel's message that went forth. Martin Luther, John Wesley, and the next angel. What did the last angel's message say when he crossed, the three angels? "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, and become the habitation of every unclean spirit." That's exactly where it's at. Sure, we have no security in our nation.
It's uncertain everywhere, uncertainty. There's uncertainty in your job, uncertainty in politics, uncertainty in the Democrat party, uncertainty in the--the Republican party, uncertainty in all the parties.

L-40 And in the church, it's also uncertainty. How can we have about nine hundred different organizations and every one of them diffed in one to the other, and fussing with one another? How can a poor laity know what to do? How can the people know where to stand? One say, "We got it over here." and another one say, "We got it over here." and "We got it down here." What does the people know what to do? It's uncertainty. The church gives an uncertain sound.
Politics gives an uncertain sound. The nation gives an uncertain sound. Employment gives an uncertain sound. Oh, I could speak of a hundred things that's uncertain: no certainty to it. The Methodist church says, "We got it."
The Baptist church says, "You're lying, we got it."
The Presbyterian says, "The both of you are lying, we got it."
The Pentecostals say, "We got it." Just look how we break up, and fuss, and stew, and everything. It shows we haven't got it. Exactly right. So that's an uncertain sound.
