<TITLE>10. Par 93-102</TITLE>L-93 Why hasn't God did this, long time ago, when men sit down with pencils, and--and women, and tried to draw out just the time? Like Judge Rutherford and many of them, that, "Jesus come in '14." And--and Mother Shipton, it way back behind that, and so forth, all these times. And, see, when going by this, by what they've tried to figure out the Scripture, see, they ruined it. It's hid. It's actually hid. And how could the Scripture go against Itself, when Jesus said, "No man knows the minute or hour"? See? See? They just get one piece of Scripture and hold It.

L-94   You must take the whole Thing. Then, if God is in that, then God will manifest that to be the Truth. Like Divine healing, if it isn't Truth, then it isn't Truth; God will have nothing to do with it. But if He manifests It to be the Truth, then It is the Truth. Just as Jesus...

L-95   God said, "If there be one among you, is a prophet, or spiritual, I'll speak to him. And what he says comes to pass, then hear it. That's it. But if his prophecy is wrong, then..." God can't be wrong. He's infinite, infallible, omnipotent, and He cannot be wrong. So, if the man is speaking, then it shows the man. If he spoke his own words, it'll fail. But if he speaks God's Words, it can't fail, because it's God speaking. Then, his inspiration comes from God, and it--it has to be right. That's the way God said to tell it. That's the way the Bi-...

L-96 In the Old Testament, He said, "If they speak not according to the law and the prophets, it's because they have no Life in them, no Light in them." Right. They have to speak according to the law and prophets. And a prophecy, or anything else, must be according to the Word. If it isn't, it's wrong. See?

L-97   Now, we find out that all this has took place, because, waited. Revivals: the Methodists, the Lutheran, the Baptists, the Campbellites, and--and all different ones. They've had great revivals. The Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, Pentecostals, all had great revivals. But the great exodus hasn't come. Why? God told Abraham He'd keep him in the land right then, but the--the iniquity of the Amorites wasn't yet full. And God has waited, patient. Them people, trying to figure out, they can see the Scripture run right into something. Run right into something, they said, "This is the day. This is the time." But you fail to understand that the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet fulfilled.

L-98   Four hundred years they would journey down there in Egypt, and be brought out. But they actually stayed four hundred and forty years, because of the rejection of the prophet. They had to suffer another, about forty years down there in the wilderness, before God brought them out. Moses was out in the wilderness forty years before he ever returned back to deliver them, you see. Forty years went overtime, lapsed, because that they rejected the message.

L-99 Now, forty years in God's time would be about one and a half minutes, to our time. That's how much difference is. "Thousand years is only one day." See? Wouldn't be even a minute, hardly. Notice, in that.

L-100   Now we're running late. Why? God has been long-suffering, waiting, watching. Let the--the Lutheran rise in a revival, then organize. Let the Methodists rise in revival; organize. Let John Smith, the Baptist church, rise up with a great revival; organize. Let the Pentecostals raise up with the restoration of the gifts; organize. Until the iniquity gets plumb full, then God is tired, then there comes an exodus.

L-101   And we see it, that the people themselves can see back down the stream of time, that the thing is cursed. They take a wedge and a fine Babylonian garment, again. And that's the thing that curses amongst the people, when men tries to inject his own ideas about things.

L-102 We got to stay with that Word. That's the commandments of God, was, "Not to touch nothing in that city, that cursed city. Don't touch it. Leave it alone."
