<TITLE>18. Par 74-77</TITLE>L-74 Just want to say one thing more: distress between the nations. Oh, my. Fearless sights in the heavens, do you believe that's so? Look, we just take a couple of them... Have we got a couple more minutes, to make it at nine-thirty? I don't want to hold the auditorium. We--it's grace, these people let us have it.
Listen. How many... And every one of you, you've seen... The nation's been shook up just recently about signs. Did you see what this man in the orbit the other day...? He found things up there he never... Science don't even know what they are. When he passed around the earth... Yet they've looked and looked and looked, but they didn't see them. He thought his orbit was coming to pieces. It wasn't so. His orbit was all right. Lights...

L-75 Look what's just been over the... You've seen it in the radio, you saw it on television; it's been in the newspaper: flying saucers everywhere. And the Pentagon let it out the other day (about six weeks ago) it wasn't fictitious. They even showed it on television how they caught these saucers, with intelligence--lights that come down, hanging over the Pentagon like that, all over Washington, D. C. And they caught it on radar, and had pilots up there. They'd come right in around them, surround around them, then move away with lightning speed. An intelligence, what is it?
Jesus said there'd be fearful signs, sights in the heavens, man's hearts failing, fear, perplexity of times, distress between nations. Don't you see that seed time is here now, the harvest time, the things the Bible said would come to pass? That seed that's been planted, don't you see it's taken life and living? That's what's the matter.

L-76 Now, just one thing more. Listen. Before... Now, listen close. Don't fail to find this now. Before the first coming of Jesus, the astronomers of India, magis... I've missionaried in India, and talked with magis about this. And they were watching. They were astronomers; they were watching the heavenly bodies. And they say God always declares Hisself in the heavenly body before He does in the earth, before He does anything.
And they said, "Why, when this... The three wise men went to worship this king that was to rule the earth, a baby king, that they followed a star, your Scripture says." He said, "But frankly, there was three stars came together and made this one star." And they say that... The Christian astronomer that I was talking to, or magi, he said, "That means that there were three races of people that this Man died for. The only three races there is is Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people. And when his Gospel has been preached to Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people, they come together in his Gospel, then the return will be."
That's all right if he wants to believe that. Three is the number of perfection. But what do I believe that three was? What do we believe? It was a three of perfection showing that the trinity of God (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) was made manifest in a Man, Jesus Christ, the one perfect Man. All other men had failed. Everything else had died. But here come a Man that couldn't die: perfection, that even death couldn't kill Him. He rose up again.

L-77 Three is the number of perfection. We all know that. Three is God's number in His numerology. God is known by His numbers. Three is perfection, and seven is worship; twenty-four is worship; forty is temptation; fifty is Pentecost, jubilee (See?), so forth. All of His numbers, His numerals of God is perfected, is in perfection. Now, three is the number of perfection. Just before when the--(listen now close) when the little baby Christ was born, three stars went together and made the one morning star, that reflected the coming of a infant Christ, a perfect One.
