<TITLE>17. Par 220-233</TITLE>L-220 And now there has been a day that people has joined church, made denominations, just enough light to see, "Well, we'll have a church. We'll build this. We'll build a school. We'll build a hospital. We'll educate. We'll have a seminary." They've had enough light to do that.

L-221 But, remember, the Bible said, the prophet of the Lord, in the Bible, which is THUS SAITH THE LORD, "That same sun that shined in the East will shine again in the West, at the evening time. It shall be Light in the evening time."

L-222   What would He do? That exactly does what He said in Luke the 17th chapter. "At the end time, when the Son of man is being revealed in the same way that He was in the East, the same Son shining, the same Power, the same Holy Ghost, same Thing doing the same thing. It shall be Light in the evening time."

L-223 Same sun that's traveled; same S-o-n has traveled; come down through the East, from Paul; jumped over into Germany, on Martin Luther; jumped again, on His next pull; and went from that to England, to John Wesley; jumped across the Atlantic Ocean, to the United States, to Pentecost; and now Pentecost has dwindled itself out, and we're on the Coast.

L-224 Every one of them, denominated, just like they did at the beginning, made organization that God cursed. Pentecost, and all, did that.

L-225   But He said, "It shall be Light in the evening time. There will be a sign rise in the evening time." Don't miss It, friends. Don't miss It. Now, the same Son would give the same Light. The same s-u-n gives the same s-u-n light. Same S-o-n gives the same S-o-n Light.

L-226 Now, that's not my saying. Everybody here, knows the Bible says that, raise your hands. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's exactly right.

L-227 Now, you can, it's up to you. Believe that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, has, is not dead. He is alive. He is in humility, humble. He always dwelt like that. The way up is down. Humble yourselves, get away from your starchy ideas, and believe the Lord Jesus. See the sign, then believe the Voice. Return, O dispersed, to your own!
Let us bow our heads.

L-228 "And if they don't believe the Voice of the first sign, in the hand, as it was with Moses, then do the second sign. Then, if they don't believe this sign, then take water (water representing life) that's in the ocean or the sea, pour it upon the ground, it'll become blood."

L-229   Heavenly Father, it's real late now, but You promised there would be Light in the evening. Let the Voice of our Gospel sink deep into the hearts of the people, as they meditate on It and study it by the Word.

L-230 Bless this community, Lord. Bless these people. See them sitting here, hungry, poor children been kicked about and pressed about, and this, knowing that Satan did that just to blind them from the thing when It got there. May they, tonight, with one accord, believe Jesus Christ, believe His promise, that He has raised from the dead.

L-231 You said, "In the time that they think not, then the Son of man will come."

L-232 Right when the church has got its, worth more money, building millions of dollars in buildings. They would be better off, Father, I believe, back with standing on the corner, beating a--a tambourine, with a hat in their hand, the old drum on the corner like the Salvation Army, than it would be to sit in these great morgues tonight, trying to pattern after the world, "Having a form of godliness, and denying the Power thereof."

L-233 Grant, Lord, tonight, once more, Lord; as Samson cried, "Once more, Lord, once more." Let it be known that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God; the same yesterday, today and forever. And identify Yourself in our midst, that they might see the sign, maybe they will believe the Voice. In this, I ask in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
