<TITLE>24. Par 192-199</TITLE>L-192   Like Israel, back in her promised land, she don't know how she got back there. She was just automatically put back there. Why? National force put her in her place.
Now I'm going to say something. National force put Israel in her homeland; national force will put the church in the World Council of Churches; but the power of God will put the people in the Bride. The world forces this way, and the world forces that way, but God forces upward. The Spirit of God, which is the Word of God, "My Word is Spirit and Life," will put the Bride in Her place. Cause, She'll recognize Her position in the Word, then She's in Christ, will put Her in Her place. No national force will do it. But the national force did drive Israel to the homeland; the national forces of the Council of Churches will drive every organization into it; but the Power of God will raise the Bride into Glory, out of it.

L-193 Oh, people, recognize your day, as Jesus warned you; the sign of Sodom, and the church's conditions of this day.

L-194   Look what He said in this day would take place. Listen to it real close. The sign of Sodom would take place in the day; sign like Abraham, that day before Sodom, that was called out. All these things that was prophesied, will be taking place now. Watch the day you're living. We've went over it and over it.

L-195 Now He has promised to send you Heavenly Light, to ripen the Word Seed that would be sown for this day. The Seed is in Here. The Seed is the Bible. Why? Jesus said so. "The Word is the Seed that a sower sowed."
And, now, before you can have any crop, no matter if you sow the seed, it's got to have light to ripen that seed, or it'll rot and won't do no good; it'll perish. But if it's got seed in the ground, the right ground, with the right kind of a sunlight on it, it's got to ripen.
And He promised that in the last days, in the evening time, the Son would come out to ripen that Seed. The Seed is being preached. The Son of God is ripening that Seed, by vindicating It, making It push out before you and proving that It's right. Do you get it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Recognize your day.
I'm closing now. It's time now to close.

L-196   And the rich, blinded, educated Laodicean would put the Word out of their midst. Have they done it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] He said they would.
As the prophets of old were sent to vindicate the promised Word of their day, so that the people who were predestinated, their day, saw It. Like the woman at the well, like Nathan, like blind Bartimaeus, like Peter, and the rest of them who recognized It. He was that Word. And the production, "If I do not the works that the Father promised I would do, then believe Me not. But if I do the works, though you don't believe Me, believe them works. They tell you Who I am." Get it? All right, don't miss the day, sent. Men and women of other days recognized It, and went in and were safe.

L-197 Pentecostals, oh, my, why don't you recognize your day? Recognize the day of the evening time. It is here, and it's here, that, to vindicate the coming of Christ, to vindicate it. We're at the end. Recognize your day.

L-198   I know I've kept you a long time. It's twelve o'clock now. But, I like this Food, This is Life. It is. It is, to the believer. Recognize the day that you're living, and the sign of the time.

L-199 See where everything is at: Israel; where the church; where the immoral; where the Bride is standing. What's left? The next thing, taking up of the Bride. Course, every church is looking for a great thing. The Pentecost say, "Glory to God! There will come a day that they're going to do this, and they're going to do that." See, they are professors. They do believe.
