<TITLE>07. Par 64-76</TITLE>L-64 And Miss Marilyn Monroe acted that out. Well, that was the girl I saw in the vision. And there she was, in picture, and the actions, the very act that she made on The River Of No Return, when she took that picture, perhaps fifteen years ago. It was an old picture, maybe twenty years ago. And she's been dead two years. And there she is again, alive, every action and every word. See? It's still so caught in magnetic tape until it's alive again.

L-65   Not only that, but everything that we say is alive. Every word that we speak cannot die. Coming through the room is words now, forms of people. Television picks it up. You can speak right here, and they hear you around the world, that same second. Even before you can hear it in this room, it goes around the world, by electronic.

L-66 And God's great screen picks that up. And every move and every act that you make, you've got to meet it at the Judgment. See? So, young fellow, it's a good thing to stop, think about these things, see, 'cause you're going to meet it again. See?

L-67   Let's trace this young man, the opportunity he had, and put yourself in his place. And a girl, just the same as it is Becky and Marilyn, just like just the same as you was standing in his place, and you could hear that Voice which is still alive.

L-68 It's still alive. It's still moving. Science says, "In twenty years from now, they'll pick up His literal Voice that He spoke, two thousand years ago." It's still alive. Like a pebble dropping in the ocean, the wave never ceases. It goes to the shore, thousands of miles, and turns back.

L-69   When a voice is once spoke into the air like that, it never dies. There ain't nothing you can say at the Judgment. It's right there. There will be the Voice of Jesus Christ bidding that young man, "Follow Me," and him turning away, on the screen, sorrowful, because he had great possession. See? We might not be even... Not always has to be money. It can be other things. See? Anything that we hold dearer than we do that call, see, it becomes like a money to us. It becomes something that corrupts us.

L-70   Now let's follow him a little bit. What happens when he turns away? He didn't listen to that Voice of Christ. He went with his friends.

L-71 Which, you kids, you're all fine kids, and you're bound to have friends, but watch what kind of friend you have. If that friend is following Christ, go with that friend. Follow Christ, too. But if it don't, don't do it.

L-72 Let's look at him. We find out, he perhaps kept his friends. He become a great ruler. He was a ruler then. Later, we find him so prosperous until he--he--he had to build extra barns to put his stuff in. And then he said to hisself, after he got old, and the cares of young life and things has passed, all he done, maybe, was entertain.

L-73   When an old man or an old woman, like me, my wife, your mothers and dad, there isn't hardly anything that they can think of. They can't, don't want to get out and--and run up-and-down the streets, you know, as--as young fellows would, and young women. Dates, and who is going to be your wife or your husband, or, see, they don't have that in their mind. They, they got children, they're interested. That's going to be you all, tomorrow, if there is a tomorrow. See?

L-74 And see the fellow, then, with maybe... Maybe he never even got married. And, however, he was a great ruler. And he set upon...

L-75 And as it is in Jerusalem, yet, today, they eat on the housetop, this time of day, when it gets cool, out in the evening.
And we find another character pictured with him: a beggar.

L-76   And the man, from being raised to--to honor the neighbor, and do unto others as have others to do unto you. See, by rejecting that call of Christ, finally... Look like, a boy been raised in a home like that, that would never have got away from him, but it did. It did.
