<TITLE>21. Par 248-259</TITLE>L-248   A few days after the resurrection, Saul of Tarsus was on his road down to Damascus, to persecute the Pentecostals. And when he's on his road down there, there was a great Light moved down, put his eyes out. He could... None of the rest of them could see that Light, but he could. It was so vivid to him till It blinded his eyes. Said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
He said, "Who are You, Lord?"

L-249 He said, "I am Jesus." That same Light that was in the burning bush, the same Light had come from God and went back to God.

L-250   And we have a picture of that same Light among us today, doing the same wonders, and same miracles, and same signs, and yet we look for something else. The Gospel Truth, of the vindication of the Word, this baptism of the Holy Spirit, baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, these things that we teach, are absolutely the Truth. Where are they vindicated? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Amen. Whew! I feel religious. Yes. Why? Because the Holy Spirit is here. Cause, around the world, He's proved it, back and forth, and never failing one time. Amen.

L-251 What are you looking at? What are you waiting for? Uh-huh. It's time. The waters are being troubled. Move in now; the signs of the last days.

L-252 "It shall be Light in the evening time," you know. Yes. "It shall be," Haywood said. And that's right. "The path of Glory you'll surely find." Yes, in these last days, you would do it.

L-253   Look. It depends on what you're looking at. Look what's been done. The Pillar of Fire, the Holy Ghost, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now let us look. Let us believe. Let us understand that we're in the last days. We're in the last hours. And we're in the last minutes of the last hour.

L-254 I got this film, and I maybe bring it up to Brother Outlaw, some time, for a Wednesday night service, show you that, where we took at Jerusalem, call it Three Minutes Till Midnight. Take what science has said.

L-255 The Bible said, Jesus said, "When you see the fig tree, and all the other trees, putting forth their buds," Israel returning as a nation. They are a nation. We see the other trees: the Methodists having their put forth, the Baptists having theirs, the Catholics having theirs, all the rest of them having theirs; the Pentecostals, through Oral Roberts, having theirs; all the rest of them having their revivals, putting forth its branch. "Then know that the time is at the hand. This generation shall not pass until all these things be fulfilled."

L-256   We see Israel in her homeland, with her ensign lifted up, the six-point star of David. She's got her own money, her own nation, her own army. She's got everything. She's--she's Israel. What is it? She's there, ready for the purging, that God will take that hundred and forty-four thousand from it.

L-257 Look at the church today, is in its chaos, all mixed up and everything. It's looking, "And we got more in there. We got better than they have. We're this, that, and the other."

L-258   And there that Bride is looking to the Coming of the Lord Jesus. Which, that secret, secret Coming of Christ shall come and catch away His Bride in the night. Like a book I read of Romeo and Juliet, one time, how he come with a ladder and got his bride out among them. That's what Jesus will come, someday, and looking for that one is not looking to his creeds, but looking to Christ, waiting for Him to come, with his heart centered.

L-259 They come, Blood relation, like Isaac and Rebekah, own Blood relation. That's what we have to come, Blood relation to Christ, through the Sacrifice, when our sins are omitted by the Blood of Jesus; not by what some church says, what somebody else says; but what the Blood has done, and proved that it's done, by the Word working through the same thing, carrying out the same ministry He had. Amen.
