<TITLE>22. Par 256-270</TITLE>L-256 {427-6} And God said, "I--I give her space to repent, and she didn't do it, so I'm going to take her and her offsprings, cast them over yonder where they belong." That's exactly. Now, that's... God said that down under this Seal--under the Seal. Now, there she was. We find out that He does that, and He will do it. And they're everyone headed that way. But the all that's got their names on the Book of Life, God will call; they'll hear it. "My sheep hear My voice," Jesus said. Only thing we got to do is make a sheep call. Goats don't know it.

L-257 {428-1} Notice. But you see the sheep call... "My sheep hear My voice." Why? What is a voice? I want to tell you what a voice is. A voice is a--is a spiritual sign.
He said to Moses, "If they won't hear the voice of the first sign, they will hear the voice of the second sign. My sheep hear My voice."
When these things are supposed to be taking place in the last days, sheep of God recognize that. See, see? They--they recognize it. "My sheep know Me"; (See?) "stranger they won't follow." They won't follow them strangers. It's got to be a vindicated sign for the day, and they see it.

L-260 {428-4} Now, now, notice. Now, Jacob, as he come up now, the first thing you know, he got a longing to go where? Back to the homeland. Oh, that's exactly what Israel done. That's--that's--that's Israel. Jacob is Israel. He just had his name changed, you know. See? And he's--he got out there, and he got all the money he had and he could get, and took it any way he could from his kinsfolks or anybody else. So cheating, and stealing, lying--any way he could get it, he got it. See? He did.
And then when he starts back to home, he got to get a homesick feeling in his heart. But as he started back, on his road going back he met God. Then his name was changed. See? But in this time he was so wearied, because he was afraid Esau was coming after him. See? And He and w--watch--watch the money--the money proposition. Just like the Jew will try making this covenant with--with Rome (See?), and their money proposition.

L-264 {428-6} Notice it. Then Esau didn't need his money; neither does Rome; she's got the wealth of the world in her hands. See? But it didn't work. But we find out now that Israel in that time of trouble, when he was Jacob, he wrestled with the--that... He got a hold of something that was real.
There was a man come down. Jacob got his arms around him, and he stayed there. And the--the fellow said, "I must be going now. It's coming daylight." Oh, that breaking of the day... See? "It's fixing to come day."
But Jacob said, "I'm not going to leave You. You--You can't go. I'm going to stay right with You. I want things changed here." That's that hundred and forty-four thousand, that money scheming bunch and things like that. When they see the true genuine thing to get a hold of, there stands Moses, and there stands Elijah. Amen. They'll wrestle with God until one hundred and forty-four thousand of the tribes of Israel are called out right there.
That's just before the tribulation period. See? Oh, how wonderful. Also Jacob's trouble. Here is when the hundred and forty-four thousand is called out. They, the--the preachers, them two prophets, they preach like John the Baptist, "The Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Repent, Israel." Repent what? Repent from your sins and your unbelief, and turn back to God.

L-270 {429-3} Now, let us remember something here. These great happenings to nature, has happened before, in this 12th verse here. See? The sun became as black as sackcloth of hair. Now, compare this... Now, remember, that does not happen in the Gentile. It's Israel.
Let me show you. Now, remember, I said it's calling out the hundred and forty-four thousand. See? This time now it's when the--the tribulation which is to do it. And this is telling what happens in this tribulation.
