<TITLE>16. Par 38-39</TITLE>L-38 I'm going to say this because it was... I ask for it to be abstained one time, and when they did, the brother got real put-out about it. I... Now, I'm going to say it, 'cause it's on tape, and so, our brother can hear it if he wants to get this tape. It's concerning Brother David duPlessis; my precious, brother, friend.
I got a letter of criticism from him. And I--I didn't want to read it; secretary got it, and so, I--I didn't want to read it; because I withheld saying his name on a tape. But this is taped. The tapes are going. Here's exactly what I said. I was preaching on the nearing of coming of Christ. And Brother David is dealing with the Presbyterians, Methodists, and Baptists, and those great men. That is his ministry to them. God has sent him with a ministry. David is a smart theologian, scholar and a wonderful man of God. He's has been with me in the meetings; he's stood by my side. I love him as only a brother could love another. And that is true.
But what I said about David, and the church will bear me witness. I said, "It seems like that Brother David, as spiritual as he is, would wake up to the fact to know that he's dealing with the sleeping virgin. And the Pentecostal people are so glad to see the Presbyterians writing in a little declaration: "We got to go back to Divine healers. We got to go back to speaking in tongues." You've read the piece where they put out. "We got to go back and having healing services."
Billy Graham talking, "Got to go back to Pentecost." Do you realize, brother, that the very hour that they went to wake the sleeping virgin up, when she come to buy oil, that was when Jesus came?
I said, "If wonder if Brother David realizes that."

L-39 He thinks the Pentecostal church... They had their picture in the paper the other day with some Catholic priests, standing blessing the Pentecostal businessman's breakfast or something, and things like that; which that's all right. But I wonder if the church really realizes what it is. It's a sign. When that sleeping virgin come and knocked at the gate, that's when she could not get in, for the Bride was gone. Don't you see? That's what I said about Brother David (See?), not nothing concerning his work, or his man--or about his reputation. And David's my brother, and one of the finest godly men that I know of.
But I just wondered how that he--he didn't pick that up, to realize the very minute that outside denominational world begins to receive this Message, that's exactly the hour He's coming. When they--when they went, the sleeping virgin realized she didn't have any oil in her lamp. And when she come to knock on the door to get it, that was exactly when the Bride went out, when the wise virgin left. That's right. They didn't get in. No.
And them organizations won't come in. They won't have the opportunity to, time the message gets around, the church will be gone. So if they're trying to get in right now, how close are we? When we see as it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man. The very last message Abraham and his seed after him, we see every everything lays just at time. We've got need. It's time for action. It's not, "Wait till I go away in school and get me a Ph.D., or LL.D." It's get into the Gospel right now, preach. Yes. Get out there now. Now's the hour.
