<TITLE>03. Par 22-30</TITLE>L-22 And now instead of preaching... The Lord willing, I'll do that tonight. But I want to teach, this morning, on the feast of the seven trumpets. Which, this month is the feast of the seven trumpets, beginning... and which is the seventh month, which would be July the 15th, was beginning of the feast of the trumpets, in the Levitical laws.

L-23   Now, and if you have your papers and things, and wish to write down Scriptures and texts, and so forth, as we go along.

L-24 There is one thing to this meeting, it's hot, and we are accustomed to that through the years. But someone might think that I believe that when we enter into this building that we cease time, maybe, and partly, partially in Eternity, the way how long I hold the people. I don't mean it to be that way. But I believe that we're living at so close to the Coming of Jesus, that I have to take advantage of every minute that I have the people together.

L-25 And I was thinking, as I was driving down the road a while ago, being out for a little prayer just before entering the pulpit, as any real sincere clergyman does. I was thinking, "You know, we're having the most glorious time when we meet here together! But, and the people gathering from many states, setting right in here now, from way away, hundreds and hundreds of miles, and we assemble together to fellowship around the Word. But there will come a time, soon, when this will be just a fond memory." That is right.

L-26 These times will be taken away from us, so therefore we must do all that we know how to do, to make this, every minute, count. And think of this now, while we're suffering in the heat of the morning. And, you know, every human body is a--a dynamo of heat, itself, and it makes it pretty hard on you. And, but I want you to get the Word.
Now, just before we--we read, let's pray.

L-27   Lord, most any person in here that can move their hands, could turn the pages of this Bible. But there is but One among us this morning that can open It; that's the great Holy Ghost, which is in our midst. Open to us the Word, Lord, as we read, as You did to the disciples, as they went on their road to Emmaus, and begin to explain to them the Scriptures. And may we, when we leave, say like those who coming back to Jerusalem from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He spake to us along the way?" For it's in the Name of Jesus we ask it. Amen.
Let us stand in reverence to the Word.

L-28   Now, my subject this morning is: The Feast Of The Trumpets. I want to read now from the 23rd verse of the 23rd chapter of Leviticus.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, and in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

L-29 Now in the Book of Isaiah, beginning with the 1st verse of the 18th chapter, this connects this together.
Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the river of Ethiopia:
That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even the vessels of bulrush upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered... peeled, out of the people terrible... nation melted out and trodded down, whose land the river has spoiled!
And all ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lift up an ensign on the mountain; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.

L-30 In Isaiah 27:12 and 13.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the streams of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and ye shall come which are ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
