<TITLE>15. Par 53-56</TITLE>L-53 I... One way, you feel like you want to scold them, yet you're sorry for them, because they've been listening to something else that's contrary. But always come back and see if it's THUS SAITH THE LORD. If it's the Bible, then that's certain. And every ounce of It is certain. Not even one little phase will ever fail: as much as Lot's wife would turn her head at her own screaming children and grandchildren, burning up in the flames of hell. God's wrath and judgment poured out upon Sodom, and the poor grieved-heart mother just turned her head and looked back. But the Angel said... Now, the Angel, the Messenger of the hour to their people said, "Don't even look back," and she disobeyed that Messenger and just turned her head. And she stands yet today.
See, friends, that's the trouble. I've noticed it amongst our people. We just don't have the--the sincerity, the reverence and respect to that Word that we should have. And that's the only thing that's going to stand, is that Word.

L-54 Now, if one doesn't know the sound of the trumpet, doesn't know what he's talking about, then it's--it's--he's a bit confused. Now, today we find people confused. Looky here. Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Lutherans by the hundreds is coming in seeking the Holy Ghost. Strange... That's right. Hundreds and hundreds of denominational people coming in, seeking the Holy Ghost. And the Pentecostal people that ought to know what's happening, doesn't do it. Instead of grabbing a hold of their congregation and shaking them down to the Gospel, they let them go right on living as luxurious as they want to.
When don't you know Jesus said when the sleeping virgin come to buy oil, it was that very hour that the--the bridegroom come? When she come, and said, "Let us have some of your oil," said, "We just have enough for ourselves. Go buy." And when she went to buy the oil (the sleeping virgin) then the bridegroom come, and the bride went in. Now, there's never been a time that we've ever knowed that the denominational world has been wanting the Holy Ghost until right now.

L-55 The evening Light, signs, wonders, miracles, everything's setting right here ready. Sure. They're a bit confused. They don't know... Say, "Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah," going right on to it, and letting everything run loose. Well, we ought to be checking up. It's going up time when that takes place, when the sleeping virgin cried out for oil.
Evening Light sounds coming on. What is the evening Light sound? According to Malachi 4, it's the message to restore the faith of the people to the... the faith of the fathers to the children, a message.

L-56 Now, notice. Jesus... There was two trees in the garden of Eden. One of them was Life, and one was death. One of them was the woman, the other one was the man. And life that come by the woman dies. But the life that come by the man lives. Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life that come from God out of heaven." The Angels... The Seraphims guarded the Tree of Life, which was the Bread of Life that come from God out of heaven.
And notice that they wouldn't take it without an atonement. And the atonement had to be made, and then they could take the Bread of Life. There was that perfect tree, bore perfect fruit. David saw it in the Psalms and said, "It's like a tree standing by the rivers of water." Sure. The rivers, many of them of one water; many gifts, the same Spirit. And He bore every fruit perfectly. And then, the Romans cut Him down, hung Him on a man-made tree.
But when He come back, He ordained on the day of Pentecost... What did He ordain? A Bride Tree with the Spirit of Himself in that Tree to bear the same fruit. It come up for the first three hundred years, doing fine.
