<TITLE>07. Par 51-58</TITLE>L-51   I went one day with Brother Shakarian, where they was hybreeding cattle. And I seen the--the... in the laboratory where Brother Shakarian taken me in. And they dipped in the sperm of the male cow, just a little... like a little instrument, a match stem, and took up a bunch of that sperm, and put it under this glass that magnified it hundreds of times. And there was little germs jumping in that, in that sperm. Which, we know the germ comes from the male, and the egg from the female. And I asked the chemist there, I said, "What's that making that little jump like that?"
He said, "That's--that's little bulls and calves." See?
And I said, "In that little drop?"
He said, "Yeah."

L-52 I said, "Perhaps then in the entire sperm there would be a million of them?"
He said, "Oh, yeah." See? Now, watch close.

L-53   Now, when this great thing takes place, there is one egg waiting for one germ out of that million. And there is no one can tell which germ that is, or which egg that is. If you'd watch the natural birth, it's more of a mystery than the... than the virgin birth. Because, in this sperm, there is one in there that's predestinated to live, and the rest of them will die. And it isn't the first one meets; it's the first one that comes together with the egg. Maybe the egg may raise up from the back of the sperm, or the middle of the sperm; the germ may do the same, the egg. The germ crawls into the egg, and little tails drop off of it, and there starts the spine. There is only one in that whole load, of a million, that's going to make it, only one; and that's determined by some unknown Force, to man. Yet you're, every one, alike, every one of those germs are just alike. Same thing in animals. Same thing in man. It's determined whether it's going to be boy, girl, red-headed, black-headed, or what. It's determined by God. All of them look the same, naturally, but there is one in there that's ordained to life; one in a million, yet all of them alike.

L-54   When Israel left Egypt, there was approximately two million people left at the same time. Every one of them heard the message of a prophet. Every one of them saw the Pillar of Fire. Every one of them was baptized to Moses, in the Red Sea. Every one of them shouted in the--in the Spirit, beat the tambourines and run up-and-down the bank, with Miriam, when Moses sang in the Spirit. They, every one, drank from the same spiritual Rock. They, every one, eat fresh Manna every night. Every one of them! But there was two made the land, one out of a million.

L-55 What was the test? They all drink in the same Rock, they all eat the same spiritual Manna as we're eating this morning, but the Word test proved them. When it come to the time of Kadesh-barnea, when they started over into the promised land, and they could not go over till they was tested by the Word. And all the--the other ten came back, and said, "We can't make it! The people are like... We're like grasshoppers, to them, their great walled city. The opposition is too great."

L-56 But Joshua and Caleb stilled the people. They said, "We're more than able to do it!" Why? God said, before they left, the promised land, "I've given you the land. I've give it to you. It's yours." But there were one out of each million.

L-57   There is approximately five hundred million so-called Christians in the world today, and each day ends a generation. And now, what if the Rapture would come today and five hundred people, universally, would be taken in the Rapture? You would never know or even see in the paper, of them going. And the Coming of the Lord is a secret Coming. He'll come and steal away. It'll be such a minority, till...

L-58 Just like it was in the days when the disciples asked Jesus, "Why does the Scribes say that--that Elias must first come?"
He said, "He has already come, and you never knew it."
