<TITLE>09. Par 106-116</TITLE>L-106   Like Peter said, after, on the Day of Pentecost, he said. Or, I believe it was in Acts, the 3rd chapter. He said, "Ye men of Israel! Jesus of Nazareth, a Man proved of God, by the miracles and signs that He did! See! You with wicked hands..." He was indicting that generation for rejecting Him. "You with wicked hands have crucified the Prince of Life."

L-107 Now, we find out now that we are coming, in our age. And any Bible teacher knows that the last age, of Pentecost, is Laodicea. Laodicea means "woman," in the Greek, a time that when women take over.

L-108 I've got nothing against women, long as they stay in their place. If God could have give a man anything better, He would have give it to him. "But when she gets out of place, she is water in his blood." Solomon said so. He is the wisest we ever had.

L-109 But it's women in politics. Didn't, twenty-five years ago, the Lord gave me a vision showing that the women, through permitting to vote, would elect--elect this ricky we got up here now, a modern Ahab setting there with Jezebel turning his neck? And you women fashion yourself after the same way, as she's a model of the world.

L-110   There's a lot of similarity to--to Israel, you know. They come in and took a land, and drove out the occupants, and set up their own system there. And--and that's the same way America did, drove back the Indians and set up our system. Israel had a great man among them. They had like Solomon, and--and David, and great warriors. We had great men, Washington and Lincoln. But finally there come something to the throne that, through politics, has brought in there. And it wasn't Ahab. He was a pretty good guy, himself. But, that woman behind him!

L-111 You know, the Bible speaks that same thing, in the last day here? And you, loving your political, you Democrats, loving your political stand more than you did your Bible and God, and you elected that. I'm not a Republican. I'm a Christian. I'm here for one thing. Talk about selling birthrights, we have did it. Certainly, you have. And now you've got it, what are you going to do with it? You had to do it, to fulfill this Scripture, and the people seen that.

L-112   Now notice, now, the rich Laodicean church. Jesus reveals, in Revelations 3, gives this age, this Laodicean Pentecostal age, the same opportunity that this rich man did, the same one. Cause, Laodicea, "Knocked at the door," showed that our organized life had put Christ outside. Because, Christ is the Word, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," and the Word is still God. And the Word was put outside, for our organizational system.

L-113 That's why I'm here with these Business Men. God help them, that they'll never organize. But you're not far from it. You just remember that. I love you, and you're giving me a spot, and this has been a place for my ministry. But I foresee it coming. The handwriting is on the wall. Now, don't do that. You'll take the same chaos the rest of them did. The Devil has been trying to kill your leader for a long time. If he can get rid of him, something will take place. It's just men. They have to have their own ideas of it. You put a charter here not long ago in your paper. Shouldn't have done that. That identifies you as an organization. We, we're a group of brethren, who, no matter what the man believes, we're fellowshipping, trying to get him. Let--let your Light shine. He'll see the light.

L-114   Hudson Taylor said, not long ago, that there was a missionary boy come, said, in India, said, "Mr. Taylor, I have just received Christ." He said, "Shall I go now and get my Bachelor of Art, and--and so forth, and train?"

L-115 He said, "No. Go, testify." So I think that's a good idea. See? We try...

L-116 See, if you do, you wind yourself right into something. You get off out here and--and get a lot of educational program in, it takes God right out of it.
