<TITLE>22. Par 147-152</TITLE>L-147 Now, but in this last days there's to come a Spirit of Elijah amongst the people, and he's to do the same thing that they did back there. His nature would be the same thing, the nature of the church; the nature of the--the person would be exactly the same thing. And that Message going out trying... He'd be hated by the people. He'd hate women: ornery ones anyhow, bad ones; love the wilderness; moody, upset guy all the time like Elijah was and like John was. And we've seen all this thing come to pass. If we've had the Message, we see Christ rejected. He has to belong to one of these organizations or you can't get into them. So He's--He's throwed on the outside. See? Christ can't work among them.
"What are you?"
"A Christian."
"What denomination you belong to?"
"I don't belong to any."
"We can't use you." See? He's rejected, Christ being rejected. So was Elijah rejected, and so was John rejected. But what... Did it hurt them? Did it hurt their message? They said, "Oh, you stiffnecks." They poured it on them. They didn't pull any punches. They went right ahead. And God's Message will move right on regardless of what anybody says (See?) till the consummation, and when the--that which is determined shall be poured out; and we're at the end.

L-149 Now, we find ourself now in forty years of coming back since the First World War, and the Jews have returned back to their own land. God never did deal with Israel until she was in her own land.
Now, you remember when the Jews was returning back, them Jews from down in the other nations, and the "Look" magazine give the article of it. I read a clipping from some paper, some religious magazine, that when they--them planes went down there to pick up these Jews way down in Iran... I don't know where all they were, just scattered down... Now, them's the true Jews, them that never had an opportunity. Now, brother, there's your 144,000. When we get to Revelations 11 you'll see them. He said, "There's twelve tribes of Gad, twelve tribes of Aser, twelve tribes of Reuben, twelve tribes..." And where were they all standing? On Mount Sinai: Jews, back in the homeland. There they were. They were the ones that wasn't this Wall Street crooked bunch. No, sir. It was the real Jew.
And when this old rabbi stood out there and seen this plane land... Them Jews (You read it in the magazine.), they were still plowing with wooden plows. And when they seen that thing set down out there, they wasn't going around it. That old rabbi stood out there and said, "Remember our prophet said. When we go back to our homeland, we'll be carried back on the wings of an eagle."
Nations are breaking;
Israel's awakening;
The signs that the prophets foretold;...
We're entering--fixing to hit that seventh week for them.

L-152 I think of myself standing out there when Brother Pethrus sent down them little Testaments, and they read them. They said, "Well, if this be the Messiah, let Him--let us see Him do the sign of the prophet, if He isn't dead, He's alive." They said, "He raised up again; He lives in His church; let us see Him do the sign of the prophet, and we'll believe Him." The Jews always believe it. They know the Messiah was to be Prophet.
And when I stood out yonder at Brother Arganbright's that day, at the place with them Jews standing there, said, "Just come to our place--our people."
I said, "Sure, I'll be glad to come." Just made a decision too quick. And I got to Cairo, Egypt. The other night when I seen that plane coming down there at Cairo, it reminded me. So when we got back there and I had my ticket to go up to Israel, they was going to meet me. I said, "Go gather up a few thousands of the leaders. Bring them out on the plain somewhere, we'll find out whether He's still a Prophet or not. (Amen.) Well, let's see what He'll do." Oh, that was just right in their hand. That's what they wanted. If they could see that, they'd believe it.
