<TITLE>02. Par 11-17</TITLE>L-11 Billy Paul just made mention to me, a few moments ago, that among this congregation tonight, they had took up an offering, that for me. I--I thank you for that. I didn't want you to do that. I--I just appreciate your efforts, and so forth, but that wasn't necessary. And, but, the Lord bless you. You know, you know, the Bible said, "Insomuch as you have done unto the least of these, you have did it unto Me."

L-12   Now, I have been kind of speaking to you, on the Message, very straight. And I... Some people might be under the impression that--that I think that Jesus is going to come in the morning or tonight. I do. Now, I don't say that He will. And, again, He may not come for next week, and it might be next year, it might be ten years. I don't know when He is coming. But, there is one thing I want to... always you bear in mind, you be ready every minute or hour. See? That, if He doesn't come today, He might be here tomorrow. So just keep that in your mind, that He is coming.

L-13 And I don't know what time is going to be my last hour on this earth, neither does any of us. And there is none of us know when He is coming. He doesn't even know, Himself, by His Own Words; He said, "The Father, only, knows when He will come; not even the Son knows when He will come." It's when God sends Him to us again. But we're looking for His Coming. And if He doesn't come in my generation, He might come in the next; if He doesn't come in that one, He'll come in the next. But, for myself, I can't see hardly any time left. I just... To me, it could happen at any minute. Now, that don't mean... That doesn't mean, now, that you'll see the heavens change and every... That's not the Coming I'm speaking of. I'm talking of the Rapture.

L-14   See, He makes three Comings. He come in three Sons, Names. He come in a trinity; Father, Son, Holy Ghost. See, all of it the same Christ, the same God, all the time. Now, we know He come to bring three works of grace; justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost. Everything, in God, is completed in three's.

L-15 And so He come, first, to redeem His Bride. He comes, second, as a Rapture, to take away His Bride. He comes, third, with His Bride, King and Queen; after, that's when many people are expecting the Coming.
But when He comes this time, hardly none but those who are ready will know when He comes. There'll just be an absence of people. They won't know what happened to them. They'll just be caught away, in a moment, and that they just come up missing. "Changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye." So just be ready for that. It'd be horrible some morning to miss a loved one, no one can find them. Wouldn't it be too bad to know it's done past and you missed it? So just keep before God.

L-16   Now, next week, the Lord willing, next Monday, from week from this Monday, if God willing, I'm taking the family back out to Arizona where they go to school, then I--I'm coming back.

L-17 Now, I don't go out there... I haven't any services to be out there in. I'm hardly ever in Arizona. I'm gone somewhere else. I take the wife out there, next Monday. I'm coming back here again. I'll leave from here to British Columbia. I come back to Colorado. I'll be in Arizona again sometime near Christmas, just for a few minutes, long enough... maybe two or three days, get the family together, be back here through Christmas holidays, the Lord willing, have a service through new year's week here.
