<TITLE>12. Par 81-82</TITLE>L-81 And if Daniel, the prophet of the Lord, could consult Jeremiah's books and bring him to such a place that even Israel coming out, all of them alive, was coming out of Babylon to go back to the homeland would cause him to fast with sackcloth and ashes, how much more ought it to do to the Church of the Living God to know that time is fading out and shall be no more, and the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the great Millennium ready to set in? How can we spend wasteless time gambling, swimming holes on Sundays, no time for the Lord. Just run down, if the pastor speaks on something or other you don't like, you get up and go out. And if the--if the church holds too long, why, you're--you're--you're dissatisfied. Look at our condition. Look what we're doing. Compare our lives with that prophet. One man in a complete kingdom with no church to go to and none nowhere else to go to... It was tore down and burned down. His city, his people was captive. Sixty-eight years--sixty-eight, sixty-nine, seventy, he had two years left.

L-82 So when he begin to read in the book and see that the time was drawing nigh to fulfill--be fulfilled, he went to God in prayer to find out about it. What a time. What are we doing when nations are breaking, the sea a-roaring, man's heart failing for fear, perplexed of time, all these things, the handwriting on the wall, racial disintegration, all kinds of evil going on in the world, and fusses and fights and stews, and weapons hanging in hangars, that one little nation by the size of Cuba down here can destroy the world in ten minutes? And them fussing with one another, ungodly men who knows not God and knows not His power... And the Holy Spirit in the Church, moving amongst the elected, showing Himself alive after two thousand years, that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, how can we set slothfully? How can we just run over the top of it? Time we were checking up, watching for that great hour approaching.
