<TITLE>14. Par 141-155</TITLE>L-141   You think Amos would stand still for that? No. Indeed he wouldn't. You think Amos would stand still, and meet with the hierarchies and the bishops up there, and say, "Brethren, I think you've done a great thing."

L-142 He would say, "You bunch of renegades! You impostors! You deniers of the Faith!" He would say the same thing that Micaiah said, that day before those four hundred self-styled Hebrew prophets.

L-143 They said, "In a number, a multitude is, and there is safety." Depends on where you want to apply that Scripture.

L-144 I can say, "Judas went and hung himself; and you go do the same thing." It doesn't apply there.

L-145 And it doesn't apply, that, "In the multitude of counsel there is safety." The Catholic church has it on all of you then.

L-146   In the Word of God there is safety. The Bible said, "The Name of the Lord is a mighty tower. The righteous run into it and are safe." And that's the only safe spot I know. The prophets always believed that. When Abraham died, when... When Job died, he placed hisself in the promised land, his grave.

L-147 When Abraham died, he bought a parcel of land right by the same place, by Job. What did he do? He watched that prophet. He knowed that was a man of God, and he said, "I know my Redeemer liveth, and at the last days He will stand on the earth. Though after the skin worms has destroyed this body, yet in my flesh I'll see God." Yeah. And Abraham knew that. He buried Sarah there. He bought a parcel of land, and buried. Hisself was buried there.

L-148   Isaac, when he died, he was taken back and buried there. Isaac begot Jacob.

L-149 And Jacob died way down in Egypt. But before he died, he called his prophet son, Joseph. And he knowed he was a prophet, spiritual man, interpret dreams, and saw visions, was perfectly right each time. He said, "Come here, Joseph, my prophet son. Lay your hand upon this hip that the almighty God touched me years ago, and changed my name from 'supplanter' to a 'prince with God.' Lay your hands up here and swear by that God that you'll not bury me down here in Egypt." Why? Why? What difference did it make?

L-150 That's what they say today, "What difference does it make?" We get a bunch of people, get them to join church, and off the streets. You sometime make him a twofold more child of hell than he was out on the street. That's right. Does make a difference.

L-151   Joseph, when he died, he made mention, said, "Someday the Lord God will visit you." He was a prophet. He said, "The Lord God will visit you. And don't you leave my bones down here, but take them up in the promised land." Why? He knowed that the Firstfruit of the resurrection would come out of the promised land. That's exactly.

L-152 Jesus, when He died, and rose up on Easter morning, the Bible said, that, "Many of the saints that slept in the dust rose, and come out of the graves and appeared to many." Who was it? Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph. Why? They were in the right place.

L-153   That's the reason I say it does make a difference. You just don't bury me out here in some Methodist, Baptist, or some other church. Bury me in Jesus, "For them that are in Christ will God bring with Him when He comes." And it does make a difference. Certainly, it does.
Don't let somebody tell you, "Because you join church."

L-154 Amos would never stand still for that. He would say, "The very God that you are saying that you serve..."

L-155 I'd say this in the Name of the Lord. The very God that this nation is supposed to represent will destroy this nation. He'll destroy these churches. The God of Heaven will send down His wrath in judgment and destroy these churches, so-called churches. Remember, you take my Word.
