<TITLE>19. Par 196-204</TITLE>L-196 If you put the life of a pumpkin vine into a watermelon vine, it would bear pumpkins. If you put the life of a grapevine into a--a--a pear tree, it would bear grapes, because it's the life that's in it.

L-197   And if this what we see and know, thousands around the world knows It, science has testified to It, everywhere, the pictures is taken. It's right here now. That is true, so true. It's right here now! And if It don't bear the same kind of life It did when It was in the person, Christ Jesus, if It doesn't do the same thing in His Church, then it's wrong. But if It bears the same life, it's got to be the same Pillar of Fire that led Israel. It's leading us to the Promised Land. "In My Father's house is many mansions," the promise that He gave us, and It leads us there. And we see It fully vindicated, God's Word made manifest. The lame walks, the deaf hears, the blind see, the dead is raised up; the thoughts of the heart cannot be hid, it's called right out, the very works that He did. What is it, some man? It's the Messiah! It's Messiah, God, the Holy Spirit, same One. That ought to put...

L-198   The Pentecostal church, instead of trying to criticize It, it ought to be in action, everywhere, with humility and love, trying to show It to a lost and dying people. We should respect It. We should love Him. Humble ourselves, make ourselves reverent, and be in action like these Seraphims was, with reverence and humility. Vindicated clearly, promised to us in the last days, and here It is! We see It. Jesus said so, said It would happen. Here It is, just before it'll be burnt up. That sign of His Coming proves that the Coming is right at hand now. It could come at any time. I don't see nothing to hinder the Rapture of the Church right now.

L-199 Well, the marking, the mark of the beast is on the other side, remember. See, the apostasy, it comes in then as the church. Now wait, I, maybe I might have said something. That's my way of seeing it, see. And watch.

L-200   Word by word, it's already fulfilled. It should put us in action. That's exactly right. We should be getting every lost soul, to the Kingdom of God, that we can. Because, one of these days you're going to bring them and it won't do no good. The door will be closed, there will be no more. Oh, they may be mentally worked up, and excited, and shout, and jump up-and-down, and claim this, you know. But when the sleeping virgin come to buy Oil, she never got It. And did you ever see a time, in all the history of these last days, that there ever was a time that the Presbyterians, Lutherans, everything else, is trying to come to the pentecostal Message? What did Jesus said? "While they come to buy, it was a time that the Bride went in," the wise virgin went in. They did not get the Oil. They didn't get It. That's all. That's according to the Scripture.

L-201 And you see these signs and these other things, everything sitting right in order for His Coming.

L-202   The seventh watch, He come in. Some fell asleep in the first watch, second, third, fourth, fifth. And in the seventh watch there come a cry, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!" The seventh church age, that's the watch, the age that watched it. And this is the Laodicea Church Age, at the end of it. Amen. Oh, it's... Why won't you awake, ye saints of the Lord, why slumber when the end is nearing?

L-203 But, remember, the church in the Laodicean Age is to get lukewarm. He said, "Because you say that you are 'rich,' and--and you're 'increased in goods.'" And said, "You don't know that you're naked, blind, poor, miserable, and don't know it." Said, "I'll spue you from my mouth."

L-204 And here we are at the end of all things, end of history, end of civilization. You can see. Look out on the street.
