<TITLE>26. Par 173-180</TITLE>L-173 Now, after that seventieth week here--the seventieth week... This goes on during this seventieth week. And the three in the middle of it, he breaks it, because he kills those two Pentecostal prophets (Yes, sir.) that smites the earth. And boy, He curses that church, and He burns her with fire. And, why, she... We find it out that even the shipmates standing out for the last laugh, "That great immortal city of Rome, she come to her end in one hour." She was blowed to pieces. God knows how to do things. And one of the Angels looked over and said, "Why, the blood of every martyr of Christ was found in her," for her deceiving, going out here and organizing, and making all this other kind of stuff, and polluting the church, and brought them things in there, and martyred the very ones that tried to uphold it and tried to bring them out. Glory. Oh, I--I don't know. I--I--I feel like traveling on. See?

L-174 Aren't you glad for sunlight, walking in the sunlight. Where are we at, brother? At the last hour. It might happen any time. And we're here.
The Message has gone forth for the latter church; church has rejected its Christ. The Jews are in their homeland for the span and space of time, forty years. The new city's been built. They're watching for what? A coming Messiah. When will it be? I don't know. When that Stone smites the image here, She's gone. It's all over then.
Now, notice here. In the middle of the week, three and a half days--three and a half years, rather, he breaks the covenant and causes the sacrifice and oblation that they will have set up already... 'Cause they'll go right back and say, "Now, look, you all are churches; you can be received in this image unto the beast. We'll have a fellowship. We'll get rid of Communism. We'll just wipe Communism all the way out." See? And they can do it, See? And they'll do it.
But now watch. And set up, and set up to this--the daily worship--the sacrifice will come back into the city when the temple is rebuilt. And this prince that's to come in the middle of this week will break his covenant and do away with this sacrifice as I said, he'll scatter--scatter it, and what he'd do lasts on till the consummation.

L-178 And notice the over-spreading of abomination to make desolation, the over-spreading of abomination... What is abominations? "Filthiness." See? To make desolate, what is that? "To do away with." The over-spreading of this to do away with that. See? The over-spreading of that Roman power to conquer all the sleeping virgins, Jews and all... We'll all be Roman or we won't be nothing. He'll break his covenant in the middle of the week.
Over-spreading of the abomination... If it was the abomination in Jesus' time when the Rome come over there with their propaganda, it'll be Rome again--it'll be abomination again to the church... To make desolate, and shall continue unto the consummation... What will he do? He'll continue it on unto the consummation. That's the end.

L-180 Now, Jewish, and Romanism, Protestantism (that is, the sleeping virgin) shall consolidate themselves together in the form of the Federation of churches. And it will be like Jesus said in Matthew 24 and from Revelations 13:14. Let's get Revelations 13:14 and see how... I had it marked down here to see what--13:14. All right, sir.
And deceives them that dwell upon the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do... (Consolidating his churches,)... in the sight... saying--in... sight of the beast; saying unto them that dwell upon the earth, that they should make a image unto the beast that had the deadly wound by the sword, and did live.
Now, we know beyond any shadow of doubt who that beast was, that power that had the deadly wound that did live. It was when pagan Rome was killed and papal Rome took its place: when pagan power was killed and papal power took its place.
