<TITLE>15. Par 114-123</TITLE>L-114 If Israel only could have recognized their sign, they would have known the time of the Messiah's appearing was at hand. If they had recognized!
You know, the--the disciples said that to Jesus. "Why does the scribes say, that, 'Elias must first come'?"

L-115 And Jesus said, "Elias has already come, and they didn't know him. He's already been here, and they've already killed him. They done just exactly what the Scripture said they would do."

L-116   If they'd have only recognized, that that "fanatic" that condemned every double things that they done, that condemned everything that they were doing... He said, "You hypocrites! Don't begin to... Snakes in the grass, you generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath that's to come? Don't begin to think within yourself, 'We have Abraham to our father. We have this, that, or other.' For I tell you, God is able of these stones to rise children to Abraham."

L-117 Don't begin to think that you've got the World Council at your hand, and you got the best dressed members of that. God is able of alley rats out here to rise up children to fulfill His Word; prostitutes, streetwalkers, drunkards, gamblers. He is able to do it. He is still God.

L-118   Blinded denominations, like blinded Israel, both prophesied to be that way. I'm showing you parallels, till I get to this spot that I want to now. Blinded, as the--the denominations of the Gentiles of the Laodicea Age, are blinded today like they were then.

L-119 The Laodicea Age is supposed to receive a Message! Malachi 4 said they would.
But what are they looking for? "Our denomination will produce It. If It doesn't come through us, the Baptist, the Presbyterian, the--the Assemblies, the Oneness, there's a... if we don't produce It, It isn't true."
Same thing they did in that day! And it come and went, and they didn't know it. They didn't recognize it, though it fulfilled every Word. Jesus said, "They have did as it was listed that they would do. So will they do the Son of man," He would be rejected.

L-120   Now notice, same now in the Gentile days, according to the promised Scriptures of Malachi 4.
Which, Jesus said, "All Scripture is inspired, and not one bit of It can keep from being fulfilled." There is no way to keep the Scripture from being fulfilled. All must be fulfilled. And Jesus said it would happen. And here we see it's happened. We see it.

L-121 "Restore" what, in this last days? You denominational brethren, listen! Restore the pentecostal, original feast. Like It was at the beginning, so will It be restored before Israel's Trumpet's feast shall sound. Has to be restored! There has to be something to do it. Malachi 4 said it would restore back the Faith of the fathers, to the children, what would take place.

L-122 If Israel had have recognized their Messiah, promised sign, they wouldn't have been where they are today. If they'd... But why didn't they do it? It's pitiful. Why didn't they do it? Because God said they wouldn't do it. How many believe that, say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen!"--Ed.] God said they wouldn't do it.
And it's the same God has said, in Laodicea Church Age, this would happen, and here it is before them. How can they do anything but do it?

L-123   If they only recognized the promised sign of the Messiah, the sign of the Son of man! He come in the name of the Son of man. Now, He was in the name, through the Pentecostal Age, in the Holy Spirit, Son of God. Now, the next thing is the Millennium, the Son of David. Three "Sons," same God. Same, "Father, Son, Holy Ghost," same God. Son of David, Son of God... The Son of David, Son of man, Son of God, is the same God all the time, just in three different office works.
