<TITLE>24. Par 176-182</TITLE>L-176 Man does that. It builds another tower of Babel. What does he do? They try to show... Look in this World Council of Churches now. The Anglican, the Roman Catholic, the Methodist, the Presbyterian, the Pentecostals, and all of them united together, Christian Science, and many of the cults that even deny the virgin birth, that deny the Deity of Jesus, make Him three people, try to worship a three gods, deny the virgin birth. Some of them deny the Blood. Some of them deny His miracles. All of them do, nearly. And then--then try to unite such as that together, how can you do it? It's a man-made tower. It'll fall like Babel did.

L-177 But God said, "Not by power, not by might. By My Spirit, saith the Lord, that's how I unite My church. Not by organization, not by education, not by theologians; but by My Spirit, saith the Lord, I'll bring My sheep together." Oh, my. And when He does, what happens? And His signs will bear record of the same. That's how Israel could say, before they got mixed up with Moab. There was a Pillar of Fire over them. Yes, sir. What will He do? He'll bear record, the same kind of a record. But after they got disassociated and so with God, separated their oneness between them and God, and got in with Moab and them, the victory all failed. They stayed in the wilderness for forty more years, till God raised up another group to go over and complete His plan. That's exactly what they did.

L-178 Now, look. But when God brings a church together with His Spirit, they'll have His signs of the living God among them. What kind of a sign? When God separated Israel from Egypt, God gave Moses and Israel a sign of a Pillar of Fire (That right?), a prophet. When He separated Abraham from Lot, there was an Angel came to him, that could discern the thoughts and the intents of the heart: sign. Hallelujah.
Now, these denominations that caught up in this church, try to make a oneness like in Egypt, like down in--in Eden, and so forth, under this great influence they are...
But look. I want to ask you something. When God separated Israel, He give them a supernatural sign, a Pillar of Fire. He give them a prophet. What did He do to Abraham? What does He do every time? Show me a God-appointed prophet among them. He set His church together by apostles and prophets and teachers and evangelists. Hallelujah. There you are. A church again, like He called Israel out. I told you I'd get back to it. Yes, sir.
No God-appointed prophets among them (No, sir.) like they was with Israel and them. What is it? A devil's tower again.

L-182 Now, the coming is so imminent, the second coming of Jesus, He's gathering His elected together. I believe that. Oh, they'll come from the east and west. Where the carcass is, the eagles will gather. Oh, my, what is it? He's got His oneness, His true oneness, showing Hisself among us; out of every denomination, bringing His elect together from all kinds of churches, from everywhere, bringing out His children, falling right in line with His Word. What?
Now, the coming of the Lord Jesus is so imminent, the coming of judgment, He's calling His elected together in oneness with Himself, with the same kind of a ministry He had. You know how I shaped in the church ages here not long ago, about the--the big tower that was built, called the pyramid, but the headstone was never put on it. Remember how the Lutherans came, then the Wesleys in the minority, and then down to Pentecost. And now what He's doing, calling from that. What did He do? He called out the elect to make the Lutheran; He called out the elect out of the Lutheran to make the Wesleyan; He called out the elect out of that to make the Pentecostals; now He's calling the elect Pentecostals out to make the headstone to come into it, the very same kind of a ministry dropping right in on it, calling His children from all denominations and all walks of life.
