<TITLE>04. Par 27-34</TITLE>L-27 And just to prove it to you, He has made laws in the earth. And He has always given His people a sign before the event happens. Now He has always done it. And He will always do it, because He is the unchangeable God. "I am God," He said, "I change not." The way He sets His program at the beginning, that's the way it is in each age. He never changes it.

L-28   When He put the world to turn on a twenty-four hour basis; we might have daylight-saving times, and all kinds of times, but it never changes the turning of the world. She makes her complete circle every twenty-four hours, turns around. Never changes the seasons, God has spring, summer, winter, just exactly like it always was. That's the way He done it first, that's the way He does it every time. The continuity of His laws, and of His Word, and of His works, how it all just perfectly blends together!

L-29 Therefore, if we could look what was, we can know what is and what will be. You can base your thoughts upon that, for the Scripture says, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-30   We notice before springtime comes. Watch some of His laws. "When you see the trees putting forth buds," He said, "you know that summer is nigh." Springtime is a sign of the introduction of summer coming on. That's a law. It always happens that way. You don't have summer, and then about the time it gets winter then the leaves come on. No, you have the leaves first, because it's an introduction of His laws of nature, that springtime is coming. It never fails. When you see the trees begin to get tender, around on the bark, and the little buds begin to swell, you know that it's a sign that springtime is here, is coming in.

L-31   When you see the fall of the year before we have frost or anything, and the leaves fall from the trees, you say, "Well, autumn is near." How do you know? Because the leaves are falling. Nature is getting ready for it. Every year is the same.

L-32 He also gives us a sign in the changing of the weather. You can go out and watch, like He said, "You see the sky is red and lowering, tomorrow will be foul weather." And He never changes it. He always warns us. You can take, feel the air begin to get damp, a long time before the storm, and watch nature all play in with that. It's a sign.

L-33   As I've often said, "If there was no Bible, I'd know there was a God, just to watch the way nature works." It's His laws, they're all in continuity with one another. His Word is in continuity; It cannot fail. His signs are in continuity with the time. The signs are right with the Bible. The signs are right in the moon. The signs are right in the sky. The signs are right on earth. The signs are right in the church. And we can look around the church, today, and see the sign is just right for Him to come.

L-34   For instance, how it works upon nature. I've been up in the north woods, where I'd be hunting, before we ever had a--a cold spell; little ducks go out of Louisiana, go up there and make their nests, and hatch out their little ones. Just let the first little cold breeze come off the top of that hill when the snow caps the mountains, and them little ducks raise up from there, and never been off that pond, and come just as straight back to Louisiana as they can come. It's a nature, see, the laws of nature. They do it every year. And then let, the first thing you know, down here in Louisiana the hot sun begin to start pouring down, down here in Louisiana, watch them all get together, swarm again, and take right back to the mountains again.
