<TITLE>14. Par 137-147</TITLE>L-137   Israel has gone back to her homeland. Jesus said, "When the fig tree puts forth its buds, this generation shall not pass until all these things are fulfilled." When Israel returns to her homeland and becomes a nation, that generation would see the Coming of the Messiah.

L-138 I got a piece from a rabbi in Palestine, the other day, was very striking. They is a little vine, this year, has growed up in Palestine that hasn't been seen there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. And it's been predicted, by the Jews, that when that vines grows again, the Messiah is on His road.

L-139   The wise men that come from up in Babylon, and they were studying the stars. They were astronomers. And as they studied the stars, they seen these three stars line up. Ham, Shem, and Japheth's star, that they were borned under, lined up, and they knew. Those scientific believers watched the heavenly beings, how they moved, and when they seen those stars come into line over Jerusalem. For, if they was at Babylon, they looked right straight towards Jerusalem, towards the West, to see it. And when they seen that come in, they knew that when those stars come in line with one another, the Messiah was on the earth. Glory!

L-140   And when we see Israel going home, and the Holy Ghost being poured out in the churches, the ecumenical news of going together, and the Council of Churches, and things, and Roman Catholicism and Protestantism uniting together, the Messiah is going to come to catch away His Bride.

L-141 And God is sending gifts, to try to create in us a faith that will move us out of here, someday, into a Rapture; healing the sick, opening the eyes of blind, raising up the dead!

L-142 Great signs in the heaven above, Angels coming in constellation! And scientists looking off at it, predicted months before it happened. There it was. There it's in the magazine. Told months before it happened! Seven Angels come down, and said, "The complete revelation of the six-seal mystery of God would be unfolded." And there it was just exactly like He said, predicted before it happened.

L-143 And they look around, they find all kind of mystic sights, and call them supernatural beings of some kind. They call it flying saucers, fearful signs in the skies, on earth. Signs, the signs pointing to us that the Coming of the Lord Jesus is at hand.

L-144   Now a little vine crops up. Israel is a nation of her own. She has got her own nation, her own flag. The old six-point star of David, the oldest flag in the world, flies again, for the first time for about twenty-five hundred years. They've got their own army. They've got their own currency. They are near... represented in United Nations. They are a nation, for the first time for twenty-five hundred years. And while they were gathering in...

L-145   I got a tape of it, a picture, we call it Three Minutes Till Midnight. And in that, they asked these Jews, bringing them in, old, on their back, packing them. They say, "Did you come to the homeland to die?" "No, we come to see the Messiah." Amen. When you see them questions, that's God's calendar-piece, that Messiah is fixing to appear. Oh, my!

L-146 We ought to be humble. How we ought to be reverent! How we ought to be in action, trying to get every soul saved that we can, scattering seeds from right to left, and doing everything we can.

L-147 But instead of that, we say, "Glory to God, I don't feel like going tonight. I believe, well, I believe I'll stay home and see this good telecast tonight. It's prayer meeting, but..." A sleeping church, a Laodicean, rich! Oh, my! There we are.
It should put us into action.
