<TITLE>14. Par 131-142</TITLE>L-131   Wake up, Pentecostal people. Shake your conscience. Realize the hour you're living in. This is a serious hour. You people, the way that you let your people do and act, and--and things. And used to be, you was ashamed. Oh, it was a disgrace for the Christian to go to a movie. They shouldn't do that, at all. The Devil put one over on you. He stuck a television right in your house, and brought the movie to you, all kinds of corruption, everything else, and you permit it.

L-132 Look at our schools. Look at our... Out here, little girls on the street, stretched out with all kinds of immoral clothes on. And--and here in the city of Chicago, every thirty days, every--every month there's thirty thousand abortion cases registered, just in one case.

L-133   How many sins was committed in this city last night? Wasn't it better when the coyote howled down through the desert here, and God looked upon it, when the old Hopi or Navajo went through here on his trellis? Then look at this filth, and just gaum, and--and traditions and politics. And it's a bleeding, nasty mess that stinks in God's nose. He'll... corrupted, before Him.

L-134 He'll blow it to pieces, some of these days. And He'll burst forth the earth, and she'll renew herself with volcanic eruption. And there'll come a Millennium then, where the righteous will walk out upon the ashes of the wicked, according now, Malachi.

L-135   Before, now, remember, before that happens, though, there's something takes place. We get a shaking from a messenger before it takes place, all right, now, our Message for our day. Now notice.

L-136 We notice, at the coming of the Lord Jesus, and when He came in His day. Notice in His day, when He come.

L-137 Now we find out that Rome was looking for a great military genius, a messiah, who could come and kick Greece off the earth, and the rest of them. And--and he want... They had a gimmick. He had something that he could make all the rest of them be ashamed of themselves. They wanted a military genius. That's what they wanted.

L-138   What did Israel want? A messiah. They want a messiah, a general. They want a general come, who take and kick all the Romans, and stomp them out of the country, and set up the Kingdom in Jerusalem. God knowed their needs. What did He give them? A Baby; a Baby, a Saviour. He give them a Saviour. They thought they were saved, but He give them a Saviour.

L-139 And that's the thing it is today. If He would send anything to us, it'd be a Saviour, when we think we are saved. He knowed what they had need of. Today, look at our politics, how it's corrupted, the same. What if--what if God looked today?

L-140   Look at Russia. Russia is crying for a messiah. They want somebody, a--a scientific genius, who can take them to the moon before the United States gets started. Certainly. All the rest the nations are looking for it. They want a scientific genius that'll run them over to the moon, can invent some kind of a bomb that'll take off all, knock off our hydrogen bombs and stop them; and can take their own bombs and rain it on everybody before anybody else gets a start, and then they take the whole world over. That's the kind of messiah that Russia is looking for.

L-141   Nineteen hundred years ago, the true Messiah was crucified. He promised to return again. He promised the Holy Spirit would shine forth Its Light again, in the last days. I wonder, if He come, if we would be just like the Jews was in that day. If we're looking, what kind of a messiah is the church looking for?

L-142 The Baptist is looking for a--a something a little greater than Billy Graham, who can take all the Methodists, and Presbyterians, and--and the Pentecostals, say, "You all shut up. I'll make one organization out of all of you."
