<TITLE>07. Par 28-32</TITLE>L-28 But the Bible says the antichrist in the last days would deceive all who dwelt upon the earth whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. See? Now, there it was, and when that Light flashed across that little woman's path, she turned. And she didn't say, "You're Beelzebub." She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet."
What was it? That Light had caught it. Right quick that seed come to life. See? Something in there--in her, she seen it. She was ordained to see it. She was called of the Father, had been given... The life had been given from--from the foundation of the world. And as soon as that Light flashed across her... No matter how much ecclesiastical training had been seen, they was blind to it; but when that Light of God flashed across that little woman, she saw it.

L-29 She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. We know that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things." There it is. See? It has to be put in there by God and Him alone.
Jesus had rebuked them. He said, "How can you be so blind?", telling them, "How could you... your--your unbelief..."
And then they come to Him, and after all these and then they said, "Master, we would see a sign from thee."
And now notice, He said, "A wicked and an adulterous generation seeks after a sign." What kind of a generation? A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign. "And it will get a sign. And there will be no sign given that wicked and adulterous generation, only the sign of Jonas": Jonah.

L-30 They will receive the sign of Jonas, a wicked and an adulterous generation. Let's stop for a minute. He surely was speaking of this generation. See, look. Did ever you see such a--an adulterous generation? Maybe some of you might not know it. In traveling around the world, there is no greater crime wave of adultery than there is in America. It's the worst of all. They've even got clubs now, Los Angeles, Chicago of several big clubs, New York, where they all go together, and the men pitch their keys in a hat, and some woman reaches in there and gets it. That's her husband till they meet again. Wicked and adulterous...

L-31 I was reading in a Hollywood New... or in a newspaper down in Los Angeles here. I flew over Los Angeles out here on a call, and I picked up a newspaper when I was flying across in a plane. And it said that homosexuals on the west coast had increased, I believe, twenty or thirty percent in the last year. Sin of Sodom... As He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be..." Wicked, adulterous. All we find, our telecasts, our newspapers, our signboards, everything, just full of vulgar dirt, filth, corruption, half-dressed women. It's a disgrace.

L-32 And why? That's the kind of a spirit that's in people desiring that. How could you sell a woman an old pair of button shoes like mother used to wear? Why, yet, they got more leather in them than a dozen pair that they wear today, better leather. But you couldn't get fifty cents a pair for them. They'd rather have a little split, or something, that they paid twenty-five dollars a pair for 'cause it looks like the neighbors', or some Hollywood star.
Christians do that too. What a shame. We're not supposed to pattern after Hollywood. Hollywood shines with brightness. But while Hollywood shines in--in brightness and glamour, the Gospel glows with humility. There's a difference between shining and glowing.
And the church is beginning to shine with polished scholars, and education, biggest church, and So-and-so. And our full Gospel people's getting right in that same trend. It's a shame. Glowing with humility, and Christ...
