<TITLE>16. Par 158-169</TITLE>L-158   Look at the Roman Catholic church, garnished the tomb of Saint Patrick, garnishing the tomb of--of Joan of Arc. They killed that woman, and burnt her as a witch, because she was spiritual, because she seen visions. They burnt her at the stake, as a witch. Two hundred years later they dug up the priests body and throwed them in the river, to do penance, knowing that she was a servant of Christ. But, in the day, they didn't know who she was, while the church was passing through.

L-159 And It'll go right over the top of people and they'll never recognize It.

L-160 Jesus, they didn't know He was the Son of God till He was dead and buried and rose again. Didn't Peter indict them on the Day of Pentecost? "You man with wicked hands have taken the Prince of Life, and slew It, slayed Him!"

L-161   Oh, the flashing red signal of His coming is down! Amen! We're at the end. Amen. That flashing red signal is everywhere, everywhere, "Ichabod," wrote on. The time is ended. Time's run out!

L-162 Science has come to their end. That's right. They've invented something now that they can blow the whole world up, every one's afraid of the other one. They're at the end time.

L-163 Civilization, it's got to a place the people... the pinnacle is swinging backward. People don't act like civilized people. Could you imagine a man wanting to be a beatnik, with his whiskers hanging down like this, and his britches hanging off his hips, slopping down through the schoolyard like that (the intelligence of the world that is to come after this, if there is anymore of it), taking little fourteen-year-old girls out, them out on the street?

L-164   Today, in my motel, there laid a mother out there with not enough clothes on to wad a musket shotgun, and her husband laying out there the same way, and that cold wind. They think their body's so pretty they have to show it. Don't you realize that's the Devil? That's right. Stripping their clothes, only the insane does that. Legion did it because he was crazy. Notice! And we have that, but that's called "style," that's called "modern." We call it "The Devil!" I got the Bible to prove that it's the Devil. It's devil possession, demon possession (not oppression). Possession, he's got you! That's right. Tell them about it? They'll blow up. They want nothing to do with It! No, sir. They got their own ideas, because at their morgue they go to they never rebuke it. Sex appeal is practiced in schools and in churches, and pastors are afraid to rebuke it, very seldom anything.

L-165   Heard a minister the other day, said, "When they invented this blue stuff for the eyes, and--and red lips, they made a prettier world." A minister of the Gospel, in the pulpit, would make a remark like that, he needs a trip to Calvary. That's exactly right, when the Bible condemns it!

L-166 And a Pentecostal group told a sister that (come to the place, crying) because she had her hair done up on the back of her head, with long hair, said, "Your spare tire might get deflated." Said, "You must cut that hair off, because that the Bible said she had... in Isaiah, 5th chapter, had round tires like a moon." Now, how can the Bible say that "a woman does an uncommon thing," she's not fit to live with when she cuts her hair, she proves that she dishonors her head, and then long hair...?... How can you make the Bible say something like that? Well, what's the matter with our Pentecostal women? You've seen too much television! You've seen too much of the world, and not enough of God's Word interests you. Now, the Bible said that. That's what the Bible said. That's not me, now, that's the Bible!

L-167   Oh, sex appeal! A lady said to me not long ago, I was going on about them wearing these shorts, said, "I--I wear slacks."

L-168 I said, "That's worse." You... The Bible said so. He cannot change.

L-169 You say, "That's the Baptist." That's the Pentecostals. I'm talking to you. That's right. That's true.
