<TITLE>12. Par 128-137</TITLE>L-128 There's never been a time, since Sodom, that homosexuals and perversion was on the march as it is now. You ought to go in my office and read the mail of mothers from California and around, about their boys' living. Oh, it's terrible! And I picked up a paper here, a couple years ago, flying over Los Angeles, and where it said that--that the great sin of Sodom was on such an increase there till it had increased twenty percent over the year before. And all out through, even to government officials, and it's everywhere. Sin!

L-129 It's because that women has made themselves so cheap. They have brought it upon themselves. And it's--it's a cheap affair. Used to be, you took off your hat, to a woman on the street. And now you'd do it, she'd laugh in your face. See? You--you... We've made ourself a bunch of corruption, so degrading ourselves.

L-130   Now we notice that, we find that Jesus said that, "A wicked and an adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be a sign given unto it. For as Jonas was in the belly of the whale, three days and nights, so the Son of man will be in the--be in the heart of the earth, three days and nights."

L-131 What was He speaking of? A wicked and adulterous generation would receive a sign of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And that's what we're doing. We know tonight that He is not dead, but He's alive forevermore, and He's with us.

L-132 In this time of church world, and church joining, and formalism, and things that we have in the world today, and lukewarm church members, scoffers, making fun, "Having a form of godliness, and denying the power of the Holy Spirit," which, we're commanded to turn from. In that very hour, of that wicked and adulterous generation, Jesus Christ rises, and in the power of His resurrection, to prove that He's alive forevermore, the same yesterday, today, and forever. A wicked and adulterous generation will seek after a sign, and it will get it. There'll be this sign given them, of the resurrection. I think we're living to see it today.

L-133   Then He goes to, refer to, Solomon's generation, when Solomon came on the scene. Now, we all know, as minister brothers and readers, that that was--that was the Millennium, almost, for Israel. That was the golden age of Israel. They built the temple in that age. They had no wars.

L-134 Solomon was a gifted man. God had give him a great gift of discernment. And everybody in the land, with one heart and one accord, believed in that gift. It was the talk of the world, everywhere. Everybody feared them because that--that they knowed that there was a living God among them.

L-135 Wouldn't it be nice tonight, if all of the United States, if all America, would accept the gift that God has given us, the Holy Ghost, and with one accord we would agree upon it, and support it, and--and just like they did in that day? Oh, what a golden age it would be! The great gift, "the Greater than Solomon is here," but we don't give it the respects that they did in the day of Solomon.

L-136 When they seen this great gift working in Solomon, everybody believed, with one heart and one accord. The tribe of--of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, and all the other tribes, there was no difference in them. They was with one heart and one accord. They'd get together, and they'd say, "Just think of our great Jehovah! He sent us a gift, and it dwells within a man."

L-137   And the great things, why, the--the fame of Solomon went all over the world. And the other nations paid him tribute, sent him oxen, camels, and great gifts of gold, and--and helped him with the stone and everything, to build the temple.
