<TITLE>10. Par 118-133</TITLE>L-118 Now you Bible readers think right hard for a few minutes. Watching his nature, how did they miss him? How did they miss knowing that was him, John? His nature was identified, his spirit and nature was identified to be Elijah. Now notice what spirit. Now, he was John the Baptist, but the spirit of Elias that was upon him.

L-119 Notice, first, Elijah was a man who loved the wilderness. See? And John was a man in the wilderness.

L-120 And Elijah was a man that condemned that organizational system, in that day, with all he had. So did John, "You generation of snakes. Who has warned you to flee from the wrath? Don't you begin to say, 'I have this, that, or the other.' God is able of these stones to rise children to Abraham." See the two natures?

L-121   And look at Elijah, he condemned all them painted-faced Jezebels of his day, them immoral women. What did John do? The same thing, to Herodias. Both of them, was a cause of their death.

L-122 Look at Elijah, after he had done that great work, he'd get moody, laid out there and prayed for God to take him. John did the same, even laid there and sent his disciples over, said, "Go ask Him. Is He the One or do we look for another?" Jesus knew that.

L-123 He was Elijah. That had to be his nature. He was identified exactly as Elijah was. He was in the spirit of Elijah.

L-124 Is to come five times, that spirit is, to be used: Elijah, Elisha, John, Malachi 4, and then for the Jews. The last days, we're in tonight, the spirit of Elijah. Notice now.

L-125 Today, I want you to look at our modern Ahab prophets today, letting their Jezebels cut their hair, paint their face, wear shorts, smoke cigarettes, anything, "It's okay." Our--our Ahab prophets of today, going with their schools, sure, leading them around by man-made creeds and denominations. What is it? Ahab prophets.

L-126 We need another Micaiah to rise on the scene. Or in time of Ahab, Elijah come on the scene. That's who, promised.

L-127 Leading them around, any way they want to go. If they don't, mistreat them here somewhere, they'll go over and join this and still maintain their--their--their Christian profession.

L-128 Well, they never was saved, at the beginning. Their very nature proves it. Can you get grapes off of a thorn tree? Can you get watermelons from a pumpkin vine? The very nature shows they want nothing to do with the Word. They make fun of It, and blaspheme It. When it's written, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, these things are to happen," and they laugh at It, make fun of It.

L-129   No wonder Jesus said, "The queen of the South shall rise up with this generation, in the last days, and condemn it; for she came from the utmost parts of the earth, to see a man with a gift of wisdom." He said, "A greater than Solomon is here." Sure. Solomon was, his day, was one of the great days. The people all believed this gift that God give them, this Solomon, and his--his fame went out everywhere. What if we people of this day...

L-130 And we Americans, we're always trying to find some program against communism. Here is God's program, "Repent! Turn to God!" Some program? If they would just do to That, we would forget communism.

L-131 When all Israel believed that gift that God give them. If America would just give the... believe the gift that God has given us, this last days, His Son, in the form of the Holy Ghost, raised from the dead, living among us according to His promise. If we'd only cherish That!

L-132 It'll only go to the Elected. "For no man can come to Me except My Father draws Him. And all the Father has given Me, they will come." Just seed sowing; it falls, some this way and that way, but there is seed sowing, anyhow. It'll catch its roots wherever it's at. They'll catch it.

L-133   Notice, here they were, and we find out that in that day, Ahab, the nation had got them Israelites doing any kind of things they want to do, and still professing to be Israelites.
