<TITLE>09. Par -</TITLE>L-754-49 Now, we got to think of young people. We got children. Most of us people here, married men, has children. Well, what about them that's coming on? See?
Like I used to kick up down there about them throwing those cast nets on the river and pulling out them perch and the drinks--drunkards and things... I've seen them piled high as this ceiling here, big, fine perch laying there, the stink would be all around the river. I went down there as a game warden to make them stop it. I got a letter, "Leave them alone." What are you going to do; it belongs to Kentucky. Now, Kentucky warden can't come over here, because he's out of his territory. Indiana warden has nothing to say into it, because the water belongs to Kentucky. There you are; there's nothing can be done.
I said, "I've got a boy coming on would like to fish. Why, they'd put his picture in the paper if he caught a chub, twenty years from now, let that go on like that--those nets, traps, and everything else." And it's practically getting like that right now. See? What's the matter? You've got to think of these that's coming on.

L-755-52 So we've got to think of the others that's coming on behind us, these young people and so forth, and a place for our children. Our daughters, we don't want them out in the world in these things like that, we want them girls raised like their mothers. And we've got to make arrangements for that. And if there is no tomorrow, we don't know that. If there is no tomorrow, we haven't done nothing but been at the Master's business and been found at our post of duty when He does come. See?
So I would suggest this; I did to Brother Neville. Let's carry this on just as we have. Let's let it just the way it is. I'm grateful for these young ministers. See, actually at the day of judgment, for this entire valleys through here there'll be no excuse, because we've got little churches setting out everywhere, outposts, listening posts, waiting.
Last night I was in a brother's church and asked if all in there was fortified behind the Word, and every hand went up. Now, that made me feel good. See?

L-755-55 Now, what I would think would be this, brethren, that like in the church here... Now, I--the--my ministry has, the best of my thinking, four things that can be done, and it might not be either four, but that's the only outlook I can think of. If that One that spoke to me down there on the river... If this is all that was left for the Gentile church, which we realize in Revelations it says one, two, three chapters to the church. The church goes up in the 4th chapter. It does not return any more till the 19th chapter; that's after the tribulation period when God calls out the Jews. That's right.
And like Enoch, he went up before one drop of rain ever hit the earth. He was gone, then the tribulation set in. See? Noah was in the ark before any tribulation set in. Lot was out of Sodom before any tribulation set in. See? And the church will be gone before any tribulation period.
Now, during the tribulation that will be, the sleeping virgin will be hunted down by the dragon (spurts "water from his mouth," which is--means "multitudes and peoples, armies") that'll search down and take this woman, remnant of her seed, and will kill her. Now, that will be in the tribulation period, but the church will go home. Now, if--if that take--would take place tomorrow, it wouldn't hinder us from just keeping on today. Let's make today count.

L-756-58 Now, what I think down there, if that Angel that said those words to me, said, "As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ (See?), your Message..." I was to take this Message and It would forerun the second coming of Christ. Well, if this has been It, then we're real, real close, brethren, because the hour and the Light of the Message is just about gone out.
