<TITLE>06. Par 35-43</TITLE>L-35 And I remember of Solomon one time praying and asking the Lord God if He would give him wisdom, not for hisself: no extension of days, no longer life, not riches, but that he might have wisdom to know how to--to--to judge God's people. And God honored that prayer and gave Solomon that wisdom, because it was for His people. And that's why I'm asking God to let me know what these seventy of weeks mean, because I know it's the exact calendar for the age we're living in, and therefore, I want to know it, not for myself, I'm... Not for myself--'course I want to know it. I don't say it that way, "Not for myself," because I do want it for myself. I want to know, because I want to know where we're living and what time we're living in. And then, I know that that was given.

L-36 And different ones has figured it out, and they've had it way back... One fellow, I was reading, had it all ended up in 1919, of--of the seventy of weeks. Well, that wasn't so. After seventy of weeks... After seventy of the weeks it's all finished. So we--we don't--we want to know the Truth, and I'm asking God to give me the Truth.

L-37 Now, in order to back this up, go back, I want to rehearse a little bit of the back. So therefore, some notes that I jotted down that we had in the 5th--the 4th and 5th chapters, so that the people will understand.
First, before we do this, I want to lap it over so that you will get from the 4th... Now remember, the 3rd chapter was the Laodicean church age, and the Church was taken up at the end of Laodicea.

L-38 Now, I was trying to explain something to my wife about it. I had Becky, my daughter, with all the different types of dictionaries and things that we could get. They don't give the answer. I got the Bible dictionary. I got the old Greek dictionary. I--I got the--the Webster's and many others, the modern dictionaries. None of them could get even the--give the words or the answer any way.
My wife said, "How do you expect our people, which are poor people, and many of them uneducated like we are, to understand such as that?"
I said, "God will give the answer." No matter how complicated it is, God can break it down and make it simple. For we are the--a portion of those people who are longing, praying for that day and that hour, and our eyes are set towards heaven, and we're watching for His coming. And I'm just sure that He will show us. Now, it won't tell us the day or hour, 'cause no man will know that, but it'll certainly tell us the day of the week we're living, if we can just get it.

L-41 Now, in the 4th chapter John was caught up immediately after the Church. John, going up, he saw the complete church age. There's where I'd like to stop just a second to say that many peoples who are expecting some great, tremendous, powerful something to happen in the Gentile age are certainly wrong. The church age and all that will happen during the Gentile reign is recorded from Revelation 1 to Revelation 3, inclusive. Then the Church was raptured and taken up, and the rest of this unto the 19th chapter is what happens to the Jewish race, after the Church is gone up, and it is the time of the great tribulation, nothing to happen amongst the Gentiles, only the slaughtering and so forth, as we'll get to that and see.
But the Church itself has gone on the 13th--on the last verse of the 3rd chapter of Revelation when the Laodicean church age end, which was the last.

L-43 And we took each church age, each time, each thing that happened, each star, each messenger, their nature, what they done, and brought it right down through history until the very last one, drawed right there on the picture on the side of the wall, and when we got finished, the Holy Spirit come in and made a circle of the same thing on the wall, and revealed it by Himself right here to all of us.
Now, in doing this, I trust at the end of this He'll come with a tremendous something and show us again, that we are at the end time.
