<TITLE>31. Par 255-261</TITLE>L-255   Now, watch Jesus, in Matthew 24:24, "In the last day, the two spirits will be so close together till it will deceive the very Elected, if it was possible." Now, when that grain of wheat come forth, any wheat raiser knows that that looked like perfect, the grain of wheat. But you set down and take it in your hand, open it up. There's no wheat in it, it's a shuck. But way back in the back, under microscope you can see a little bitty bud, there comes the grain. And then what is that shuck to do? It's to protect the grain, the hot sun would kill it, it protects the grain until the grain is matured. And then when the grain becomes matured, the shuck pulls away from it. But, did you notice, that grain then that comes forth, has got to be the same kind of grain that went into the ground.

L-256   After Luther's revival, come an organization. After Wesley's revival, come an organization. After Alexander Smith, John... Alexander Campbell, John Smith, all the rest of them, come an organization. After Pentecost, right down like the real thing, but it come an organization. What did it do? Pulled away.

L-257 We've had fifteen years of revival, it's never been known in all history. And watch, in this fifteen-years revival, It sweep around the world, and not one organization has been built out of It. Where was It? (It started the latter rain, it died in its... instant, it died.) There's been no organization follow This. Why? It's the grain Itself, there can be no more. And the shuck now is pulling away, no cooperation, nobody wants you. Why is it? It has to be That.

L-258   Why was that church set there? To support It. Where... Who would have cooperated? What Baptist, or Presbyterian, or Lutheran would have supported a Divine healing campaign? Now when Truth comes forth, what's happen? Not the shuck; but the Life goes right out from the shuck, right into the grain, the real true Life. The organization stands there, dies, just like it has done in every age, it does the same. You come out of that, fifty years ago, and went right back into it again! But real Life follows the grain, we're at the end time, brethren.

L-259   What did it pull away for? So that it would bring the grain in presence of the Son, to ripen the grain to a golden ripen for the Master. Why has it pulled away? So, it causes heartaches, tears, that they don't lay before the s-u-n, but the S-o-n, to be ripened to the true full Gospel, to manifest everything that Jesus Christ promised in the Bible. There is raising up a Body today among the people. And there will be no more organizations, it goes right out into rich Laodicea. What has the organization prospered by? Millions of dollars, and millions of souls.

L-260 And what was the shepherd come from? To deliver his brethren from bondage. I--I don't know; God, be with us, help us. Study the Word! Search the Scriptures! In them we think we have Eternal Life, and they are they that testify of Truth. See, God allotted His Words to each age. This age always...

L-261   What did Jesus say when He come? He said to them people, "You hypocrites! You whiten the walls, and build the tombs for the prophets, and your fathers put them in there. And you are the sons of your fathers. And the works that they did, you'll do too." It ever remains the same, my brethren.
