<TITLE>12. Par 115-126</TITLE>L-115 Now, if God did thus-and-thus in that dispensation, in those other two dispensations, He has to remain the same and do the same in this dispensation, 'cause He said He would do it. I'll prove it in a few minutes, by the Word, that He said He would do it. Now, He cannot change His program, He's God. Notice what He did in them dispensations.

L-116   Now we come to the church dispensation's end time. That's what I read tonight:
... it shall be Light in the evening time.

L-117 We've had plenty of dismal time, but there shall come Light. The same Son that came and changed the dispensation then, comes again! That's going to be from earth to Glory. We'll go in that. One time we went in, the other time we went out, and this time we're going up! See? All right: in, out, up. We're coming to the end time. And we're not only coming, we've already arrived. We are at the end time!

L-118 What does God find in this end time? God finds in this end time just exactly what He found in other end times, unbelief! He's always been that, He, when He comes, He--He finds unbelief. He finds that the program that He laid down to the people...

L-119   Back there in Noah's time, if they would a-lived after His ordinances, offered the sacrifices... They got away from it. When He come, He found this, that thing operating wrong.

L-120 The same thing He did when He come on earth, He found the people and the Pharisees, and so forth, after the law. What was they doing? Just no sincerity in it at all, just go ahead and slop it through any old way, and "Just as long as they joined the church, and that's all they needed." And that's what He found.

L-121 And that's what He's found again! He finds the same thing, people doesn't change. So if He sent His program and the people disbelieved it there and they perished, they believed it and lived, (now, on those two), it's got to be the same on this time. It's got to be the same. No...

L-122 It's always been a fight for the messenger to separate the old from the new. It's always been that fight, for--for the messenger coming in to separate old from new, though always the message must be Scriptural, now, for each has foretold of the other to come.

L-123   Now, let's take, for instance, Jesus. How hard it was, Him to come in and change the message from law to grace. Yet the Bible said it would come that way, "There'd come a--a Messiah, and the daily sacrifice would be taken away." And we know it was prophesied through the prophets. What a great thing it was for Him to do that. But we find that He did it. And the one... He did it because the Scripture said, and the believers of that day (so-called believers) absolutely would not agree with Him.

L-124 Look at those Pharisees, Sadducees, they had their own traditions and no one's going to shake them from it. That's what they believed, their mother believed that, their daddy believed that, and their grandpa, grandma believed that, and "Moses said so!" But the same Moses that give the law was the same Moses said this Guy would come, and they failed to recognize it because they had got the true Word of God in traditions and had left off the main principle of it. And it had to be that way.

L-125   Notice, each one foretold the other one would come. Each one of the messengers, after the message, foretold it would come. Now, but the people always takes the message of the day that they've had, they set it up.

L-126 Let's break it down, a little bit farther home, let's look at Luther. When Luther preached justification by faith, he was the messenger, the angel of that church age, all right, of the Sardis Church Age. Now, notice, when he preached, he set the Lutherans in order. Now, then, here went Luther spreading on. And when Wesley come in, the Philadelphian Church Age, with the message of sanctification, why, it was hard for Luther to see that. Them Lutherans wouldn't believe it.
