<TITLE>20. Par 69-72</TITLE>L-69 And Jesus said that, you know, that there was a greater than Jonah there. But notice what He said. Now, a little bit before we go into another subject. Look. Jesus said... They said, "Master, we will see a sign." (Three verses behind where I started reading.) "Master, we would see a sign."
He said, "A weak and adulterous generation seeks after a sign." Is that right? And He said, "There will be no sign given that generation..." Now, listen, close. How many knows that--that Scripture repeats Itself constantly? We know it. And He said, "There will be no sign given that weak, wicked, adulterous generation." That's this generation.

L-70 There never has been so much in all the world of wickedness and adultery as there is right now, perversion. Well, homosexual, perversion, women on the streets, stripped, every... You.. It's just terrible the way people are doing all over the world, and especially in the--in the States. And it's getting to be almost as bad in Canada. It's too bad, but it's true. That big nation, this little nation's a pattern off of it. Don't take your pattern from them, take your pattern from up here, Christ.
Notice. And there they were, a wicked... He said, "There will be no..." Now, listen, close, so you won't miss it. "They will receive a sign. As Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth three days and nights." They will receive that sign.
What is the sign of? The resurrection. You get it? That's exactly what we're getting now, the sign that He's not dead. He's raised from the dead and among us, doing the same things He did when He was here on earth. And the wicked and adulterous generation (See?), would receive that sign.

L-71 Then, one more, closing. He said, "And the queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it. For she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold a greater than Solomon is here."
Now, listen in closing. In the generation of Solomon God gave a gift to the earth, and that was the gift of discernment. And it fell upon Solomon, and all the people believed it with one heart. What if all the people today would believe... What if the Canada and the United States would believe their Gift that God sent them, the Holy Ghost? What if all the people that professed to be Christians just believed it? Why, we wouldn't have to worry about Russia's atomic bombs and all them things.
Well, we'd... You'd never be able to dig out of the way of the atomic bomb. Well, the thing... People are digging holes, and down in the States they're going down in caves and making government offices. Well, that atomic bomb, the one they got now that will burst the earth, I believe it's three or four hundred feet deep, and for a hundred and fifty miles square. Well, if you was ten thousand feet under the earth, plumb down into the lava, it would break every bone in your body. You can't dig away from it.
But we've got a bomb shelter. It's not made of steel; it's made of feathers: under His wings (Amen.), be lifted up. That's right. When that... 'Fore that bomb drops, we'll be in glory. What's the matter? Then they say we're crazy. If I am crazy, leave me like I am. I feel better this way. And so I just--I like to stay this way.

L-72 Now, notice. Now, in Solomon's time, everybody believed that gift. Oh, my. Everybody, they wasn't going around saying, "Oh, he's old Assemblies, and he's old this, and he's old that." No. They was all with one accord. They believed it.
And how everybody coming by the--through... They didn't have jet planes and things in them days; they had to travel through camel caravans. And when they passed through, they'd say--go down the other parts of the world, saying, "You ought to hear up in Palestine. They got a God up there, and that God is making Hisself known through a man."
