<TITLE>31. Par -</TITLE>L-51-4 Look, where those four hundred prophets stood out there before--before Ahab and Jehoshaphat one day. Jehoshaphat, a righteous man, he said, "Well, before we go up to Ramoth-Gilead," said, "oughtn't we to--to consult the Lord?"
Ahab said, "Yeah, sure." See? (Jezebel behind it all, you know.) He said, "We'll a--we'll... I got four hundred prophets here. We'll bring them up."
All fine people, brought them up; they all prophesied, said, "Go on up; the Lord is with you."
That didn't sound right to this godly man, the King of Israel--or the King of Israel up there. It didn't sound very right to him. He said, "Isn't there another one?"
Four hundred preachers, already in one accord, saying, "Go up, the Lord's done spoke to us and said, 'Go on up.'"
He said, "But there ought to be another one somewhere."
He said, "I got one, but I hate him." Sure, absolutely. Yeah. Said, "He's always bawling me out; he's always saying evil against me." How could he do anything else, when the Word of God was against him?

L-52-3 So they sent and got Micaiah. Micaiah said, "Go on up. Yes, that's right; but I seen Israel scattered like sheep having no shepherd."
And then he go out... That big preacher walked over, the bishop, and smacked him in the mouth, said, "Where'd the Spirit of God go when It went out of me?"
I imagine he said, "It wasn't in you to begin with." So then--so then he said, "You'll find out one of these days." He said, "If..."
He said--he said--Ahab said, "Put him back in a inner prison; feed him the bread of sorrow and the wa--wa--and the water of sorrow." Said, "When I return in peace, I'll deal with this fellow."
He said, "If you return at all, then the Word of God hasn't spoke to me." Uh-huh, uh-huh.

L-52-6 Why? Why? He was right with the Word, right with the Word. Any prophecy don't stay with that Word... That's exactly... That's the reason I say today, no matter how good it looks, how many preachers are saying this, that, or the other, "Communism is going to take the world and throw it down"; don't you never try to fight communism, fight Romanism. For that's THUS SAITH THE LORD. The Lord said Romanism's going to rule, not communism. It's just a puppet. But you see, He had to do that.

L-53-1 The Lord told Micaiah, "I've got to send Ahab out there, have them preachers to say that, to send Ahab out there in order to make the Elijah's words come to pass."
God had to let communism raise up. What did it do? Then it run all these here morgues together and made a Confederation of Churches, to join up to make an image of the beast, just what His Word said would take place. Don't you worry about that. You watch the thing it's forming under it. That's... Umm.

L-53-2 I'm--I guess I'm wearing you out, but--so that's... But that's true. I don't know when I can speak to you again; I may never. We don't know; we may never meet again, but I want you to know what's true. Watch, this Word is the Truth: not me, this Word; This is It. If my word's contrary to This, then don't you believe me; you believe That. Then if you say, "Well, we got That, and you're preaching contrary to It," then it's your duty to come to me. That's right. It's your duty to come to me. See? Just come and let's see what's the Word.

L-53-3 Now, now, therefore we find out that it was--it's communism that's gathered together. God said Gog and Magog there will gather together (sure) to bring about the battle. That's exactly true, 'cause it's going to bring these forces together. It has to come; the Bible said it would.
