<TITLE>13. Par 108-116</TITLE>L-108 But did they receive It? They should have knowed It. They should have watched the acts of God. They seen the Word fulfilled. They knowed the Scriptures said it, but they couldn't believe It would come like that. It had to come either to the Pharisees or the Sadducees. If it come to the Pharisees, the Sadducees would not have received It. Vice versa, the--the Sadducees wouldn't receive It, because they said the Pharisees would have It.

L-109   And that's just the way it is today, our systems, and the whole thing was rotten and polluted. Oh, my! The hour that we're now living, blinded world, walking in darkness, stooped in the systems of this world, like sheep without a shepherd. When they've had the Word of the living God vindicated before them, and walked right away blindly, and leave It, how can you expect anything else? Amen. There we are.

L-110 Then, the world is falling apart. Why? The very Word that bound it together has been rejected. We find that in Hebrews, 11th chapter.

L-111   Einstein said. I was listening to a lecture of him, here the other night, New York City, that he made one of his last lectures. He was talking about a constellation, a little galaxy, it was, out in the constellation. He said, "If a man started through space, traveling at a speed of light..." What is that, eight thousand... [Someone says, "Hundred and eighty-six thousand."--Ed.] A hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second. "It would take him a hundred, take him a hundred and fifty million light years to get there." He found Eternity. Then said, "To come back, it would take him another hundred and fifty million years, which would be three hundred million years. And the space, that he was gone from the earth, would only be fifty years." There you are, broke into Eternity! Oh, my! The greatness of God, when He made the whole solar system!

L-112   And this astronaut, the other day, flying around over Russia there, and said he "seen no God, Angels." How ignorant can people be! When...

L-113 God! And the whole solar system, He blowed it off His hands; and He sits so many million years, light years, beyond that. And the whole thing is upheld by His Power and His Word. Hallelujah! Every star has to hang to its place. Yes, sir! Then, was humble enough to come down and be made one of us, to die for us; we're without excuse. If one of them stars would happen to move from its sockets, from its orbit where it's at, if that would move, it would effect the whole system. The whole system must turn exactly the same, for one depends on the other.

L-114   And God's system, when it's in perfectly harmony with Him, the whole thing works perfect. That's right, because it has to.

L-115 But the church never took God's system, it made a system of its own. That's the reason we're all out of harmony. That's the reason the church is so scrupled. That's the reason the world is falling apart today, because we've adopted our own systems. That's the reason the political world is apart. That's the reason the religious world has fell apart, is because we've adopted a system instead of taking God's Eternal plan for the ages. Amen. That's what's the matter with the world. That's exactly what's wrong, is because they've adopted something else. It's got the people so, "I'm Presbyterian. I'm Methodist. I'm Oneness. I'm Threeness. I'm..." Oh, mercy! No wonder we can't hold together, there ain't nothing to hold us together.

L-116   Mr. Nixon made the brightest remark I've heard any president or a vice-president make in the last few years, when he said the other day, "What's the matter with American people, they've lost love and respect for one another." As American citizens shooting one another down, in the street, how can we? My!
