<TITLE>15. Par 61-63</TITLE>L-61 Now, look today. Isn't this new pope inviting all the Protestant churches in? Aren't they going? What about your Pentecostals? Same thing; the federation of churches. There you are. That seed's got to come to pass. This has got to happen. It's got to mature. It's time for it to mature. The people, what'd they do? Organize and kept building greater buildings, and bigger organizations, greater denominations. And what all happened? The same thing, exactly what the Bible said they'd do.
That's what the God-prophet, Jesus Christ, said would take place. The Jews would be restored, and there would be a great revival amongst them as a nation, coming together as a nation. There'd be a revival amongst the Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, and so forth, a revival amongst the Pentecostals, and there you are. And nation will be striving against nation, the seed matured. Israel become a nation after twenty-two hundred years. What's happened? The churches all got together having a revival. All right, sir.

L-62 Now, another great seed was planted. He said in the last days, in II Timothy, the 3rd chapter, there would come amongst the church a falling away from Bible faith. That's right. Is that a seed? Is that a promise? Look at them today. Look at our churches. What are they doing? They're organizing themselves together; they're cooperating together, binding themselves together, failing, don't believe in the Bible, don't believe in the--in the real true Word of God.
You say, "The Bible says this."
"Them things are past. There is no such a thing. Oh, there--there is no such a thing. Days of miracles is past a long time ago. There is no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That was for a handful of people: twelve back there, the apostles." See? What is that seed? It's maturing. It's the end time sign seed.
What did Jesus say? "When you see these things happening, lift up your head. Your redemption's drawing nigh," to the church. We seen she would fall away. All right. We find that. All right.

L-63 Now, we said in the last days Joel told us (the other part of the Scriptures. Listen close now.) that there would be a former and latter rain in the same season. How many Christians know that? Say, "Amen." Sure. What.
Now, the other day, to my surprise, when I looked... Former and latter rain would come in the same season. Now, the word "former" in the Hebrew word (get your Hebrew lexicon and find out), the Hebrew word for "former" means "moureh." "Moureh" means "teaching." There will come a teaching rain. What is it? Putting the seeds into the earth. What's had.
What's gone on? Well, we find out that there's been a teaching rain going on. The Baptist people, "A million more in '44," was their goal, members of the church. Billy Graham's great revivals, our great evangelist, look what he done. Look at Oral Roberts and the Pentecostals. There's been a teaching rain gone forth.
There's been a national teaching rain, communism sowed amongst the people, every nation.
There's been a Roman revival. Do you know what happens? If they give the western part, or the eastern part of Berlin back, that puts communism just, or I mean the Roman empire, just exactly in the old circle it was in the time of Jesus. Certainly it does, perfectly.
