<TITLE>17. Par 108-115</TITLE>L-108 Now, Brother Collins--if he's here this morning, I don't know whether he is or not--in the questions the other night he asked a question (I guess it's all right for me to say Brother Collins.) about the abomination that maketh desolations (See?), what it meant. Jesus spoke of it in Matthew the 24th chapter, and we find out... Yeah, Matthew 24:15.
Now, let me just get that right quick so you can see what--Jesus speaking of the same thing here, referring back to Daniel. Matthew 24:15, to you that's taking down. I want you each one now, especially tonight and--and next Sunday, bring them pencils and papers, 'cause we're... Unless you got a tape--24 and the 15th verse.
And when... therefore--and when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,... (Think, this is four hundred and eighty-three, four, five--eighty-six years beforehand: 486 years beforehand)... Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place... (Now, look in your Bible. It's in parenthesis.)... (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

L-110 Now, He's talking to the Jews. They want to know: "What about this temple, when will it be destroyed? When will it be rebuilt? When will there come a time that there won't be one stone upon another? How long will it last?"
He said, "When you see the abomination that maketh desolation standing..." When Daniel stood in the holy place... Said, "When you see this come to pass, now let him that read understand what he's talking about..." That's the reason we're praying to God to make that so perfect that there'll be not one shadow of doubt, because we're not supposed to put our own interpretations to those things. It's got to come through THUS SAITH THE LORD. So I'm leaving it right there until I understand.

L-112 Revealed all things to him... That abomination... And remember, it has a compound meaning just like, "Call my son out of Egypt." As Israel was called out, so was Jesus His Son called out. And that'll be just exactly, take place just certain as I'm standing here. And He did it in a way, and He's made it all hid--all hid from the church. Oh, when we get down into that, into those sixfold understandings, how He's got all this hid from the Church so that the Church will be watching it every minute--didn't know when He was coming. But now, the church age is about over. So it's just ready now for the coming; just getting ready.

L-113 This is the one most important Scriptures in the Book. What does it do? It tells the closing of the Jewish nation, the Jewish people. This Scripture, the seventy of weeks, it discloses and tells exactly from the time that Daniel started there until the end of the consummation. It's one of the greatest timepieces... How many's heard me say, "If you want to know what day of the week it is, look at the calendar. If you want to know what time we're living in, watch the Jews"? That's right. There's God's calendar taken from right here. Any theologian, any Bible scholar, anyone will tell you that this is the timepiece, the Jews.
Now what time we got? We're just... People hot... Oh, I...
It has nothing to do with the Gentiles. These Seven Seals, Seven Plagues, Seven Woes, Seven Trumpets has not one thing to do. The Gentile Church will be in glory at that time. Don't have nothing to do with us, the Gentile Church; it only deals with Israel: "Daniel, thy people and Jerusalem..."

L-115 Now. And discloses the facts that God deals only with the Jews when they are in their homeland. Hallelujah. There's where I think I hit the core, right there. They're always trying to allow from the time that Israel was there at Daniel's time, and... One great writer... ('Cause I know some of his followers are setting here, I won't say it.) But that's the reason they had all this false stuff.
