<TITLE>07. Par 41-47</TITLE>L-41   And signs was not sent... Now just think, every man, and all the astronomers; people them days, their clocks was the stars. There was a watchman went on top of--of the tower, and he would get up there and watch. And he seen when certain stars was in a certain constellations, as they were passing, he knowed what time it was. Remember in the Scripture, "What time is it watchman?" And the watchman come back and told him in what hour it was. See, they kept time by the stars.

L-42 Now, isn't it strange that these stars were exactly in line for three men and nobody else saw it? See? Just exactly in line. Now, you can be so in line with the Scripture. See? When those stars become in unity, united themselves together in this constellation, three men were also united at the same time. And you can be so united with God, in His Word, until these things become realities, and you can see them and know that they are true. See? The sign of the time! You might look right over top of it, say, "Ah, nonsense!"

L-43   But to you it isn't nonsense. To you, you're united with the Word, and here It is. Then it's--it's absolutely right, Brother Pat, when--when--when--when you see this sign unite with the believer. And that's who I'm addressing this to, is the believer, for the unbeliever never see it. And what a rebuke it would be if He was on earth today; to many of our clergy today, who cannot read this sign; the signs that we're reading daily here at the tabernacle, and seeing the things. And others are reading it and seeing the handwriting on the wall, and yet many just ignore it, and don't even see it at all. It's nothing to them at all; they don't notice it.

L-44   Now notice, that in this, that He--He pointed out national signs. Now, when they asked Him about this, they wanted signs; and He gave them signs that happened. And they wanted to know when would be the end of the world, what would be the sign at the end. And He pointed them many places through the Scripture about national signs, about heavenly sign in the heavens, and earthly sign; He gave them signs, sign, signs, just constantly a sign. And when He told them there in one place about a national sign, He said, "When you see the nations, see, begin to gather around Jerusalem, see, then we know that the time of their trouble was at hand, when you see Jerusalem compassed about with army."

L-45   Now, before that they could do this, God... The world had to unite. Titus, this great Roman general had to unite his armies together and come around, after these Jews had rejected the God-given sign of the time to them. That's the time that Titus united his armies together, and come to take the city. First there had to be a uniting of God's people (so-called) against the Word of God, before that the nation could unite itself against God's people. See, the--the--the unity, the uniting; uniting together.

L-46 I believe that we're living in a great uniting time. I am taking these red lights down, and flash signals and everything (of the women, how they do; and the men, how they do; and the churches, how they do), showing to this little group, with all my heart, that I believe that we are lining in the line of God's Word in this great prophetic hour, just before the coming of the Lord Jesus; uniting together and getting ready.

L-47   Now, you see, before Titus united the nations of... his armies together, Israel united themselves together and banded themselves, that they would not believe Jesus to be the Messiah. They rejected Him, and turned Him out, and crucified Him. And then, when they rejected the salvation that was sent to them, they united themselves together to do it. Now, hold that in mind: uniting themselves together, to reject the Message of the hour! They had to do that. And then when they did that, then the national sign come in.
