<TITLE>15. Par 141-146</TITLE>L-141 Them who is standing for Him and with Him, this great Spirit (Holy Spirit that's prophesied) will be the strength of him that stands at the gate in the battle. He is our Strength. We rely upon Him; not upon culture, not upon education, not upon things of the world: "Not by power, not by might, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord." The Church rests solemnly in that. "He will be the Strength of him that stands in the gate." Not his theological background, not his denomination, but the Holy Ghost will be his Strength. He'll be the one that'll stand at the gate. He'll rely upon the strength of the Holy Spirit to turn the alien away.

L-142 But them that have erred through wine,... (Now, listen.)... and through strong drinks are out of the way, out of "the" way; the priest and the prophets have erred through strong drinks, they're swallowed up of wine, they're out of the way through strong drinks; they err in vision, and stumble in judgment.
In other words, in vision, they don't even believe in such a thing. And in judgment they say, "Oh, as long as you join the church, it's all right." And what have we got? A bunch of drunks. Watch what the prophet said; there's God's witness.
For all tables are full of filthiness--of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no clean place.
No place is clean; the tables. Why, they go in, drunkards and harlots, and--and take a piece of light bread and cut it up, and make communion, where the clean and the unclean eat together: vomits, the tables are full of vomit.

L-144 Whom shall he teach knowledge,... (in a day like that?)... and whom shall... make to understand doctrine?
Who could they do it, when they got their own theological experiences and things to rely upon? They won't go back to the Word of God. They say, "Oh, that was for another place. That's for another generation." Their tables are full of vomit. Listen to this prophet with this supreme intelligence of God speaking through him.
... them that are weaned from the milk, and are drawn from the breasts. (Not church babies)
For precept must be upon precept...
He's talking of the Word now. Don't say, "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," when It said, "Jesus' Name." Don't say "shake hands," when He said borned again.

L-146 ... precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; and line upon... line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
For with stammering lips and with other tongues will I speak to this people. (Hallelujah.)
With a stammering lips, "murmur." Maybe the congregation just setting in reverence and quietness, someone--one can pick up that murmur and understand what they're saying. "With stammering lips and with other tongues will I speak to this people," prophesying of the Holy Ghost,
... stammering lips,... will I speak to this people.
To whom he said, This is the rest...
Now, you Adventist brethren that takes the seventh day, what about this? This is the sabbath,
... This is the rest wherein you may cause the weary to rest;...
God, give us gallant men to stand in the gate with That, and witness It.
... This is the rest that you may cause the weary to rest;... this is the refreshening: but they would not hear.
That's the sad part, they would not hear It. They wagged their heads, and mocked and scoffed, and went on.
