<TITLE>23. Par 272-276</TITLE>L-272 {429-5} Now, let's turn to Exodus 10:21-23, and watch here, when Exodus is when, 'course Israel was coming out--going to be taken out: Exodus the 10th chapter and the 21st-23rd verse. I'm so excited and shouting when I write these notes down that sometimes I might get them mixed up. All right, Exodus 10:21-23. All right, here we go--21 and 23.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand towards heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
And Moses stretched forth his hand towards heaven; and there came a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: (See?)
Now, they saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but... the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

L-273 {429-6} Notice, just exactly like come over there: "And the sun became as black as sackcloth..." See? Same thing, these happenings of nature. What was it? What, when nature happens like this, has been? God calling Israel. (See?) God's calling out Israel. Now, "sun as black as hair..." Now, God was about to deliver Israel there (All right.), bring them out of their enemy's hand, which was Egypt at that time. Now, here He is bringing them out of the Roman hands, where they'd made their covenant. Same thing happens. That's the plagues.
The--the time that this plague will call, they'll plague this group of Gentiles. If we had time, I could show what's going to happen to that Gentile church. The Bible said that the--the dragon, Satan, was wroth (That's angry.) with the woman (the Jew, Israel); and he spurted water from his mouth (thickness and multitudes of people) that went to make war with the remnant of the woman's seed (Revelations 13). Now, see there? We have that. And that's when Israel sends her, I mean, Rome sends her army after the remnant, the remnant of the woman's seed.

L-276 {430-2} Now, watch. The first time their enemy's hands, when He's delivered them out, the sun turned to sack--black as sackcloth. Now, this is the second time, the end of the tribulation period.
Now, in Daniel 12, if we had time, we could read it. In Daniel the 12th--the 12th verse--12th chapter, rather, Daniel said, "Every one that was found written in the Book would be delivered."
Now, remember, Daniel is now speaking of this period, when these--this thing is supposed to happen, when Israel is to be delivered, when the--the end of the seventieth week... And that's when they're supposed to be delivered. Now, look. Let's... We get to Daniel 12 here just a minute.
And at that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince which stood for the children--for--for the children of thy people:... (See? That's Jews.)... and there shall be a... trouble, such... never was since there was a nation even to that same time:...
Now, compare that exactly with what Jesus said, Matthew 24. There shall be a time of trouble that's never been since there was a nation. Look at the Sixth Seal. See? The same thing, a time of trouble. Notice.
... since there was a nation even to the same time: and at that time thy people... (Now, in this seven--last part of the seventh year.)... thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. (The predestinated, you see, that's written in the Lamb's Book of Life shall be delivered at that time.)
And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, and some to everlasting life, and some to everlasting shame and... contemptment. (Now)
And then shall the wise... shine as the brightness of the firmament; and--and they that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars for ever and ever.
