<TITLE>12. Par 115-125</TITLE>L-115 That shuck looked more like the Seed, until more than the pollen did, and more than what the stalk did, but they were only carriers of the Seed. See, Luther organized, the stalk died; Wesley organized, the pollen died; Pentecost organized, the life died. And now comes forth the Seed. You can't go any further than the Seed.

L-116   Notice, all through the years, when a great move rises up, right quickly behind it comes an organization. About three years is about as long as the revival lasts, then they organize it, makes an organization. It has to be many off of it; like many off of Luther, the blades; and many off the pollen, Wesley; and the Pentecostal leaves going out, oneness, twoness, threeness, fourness, fiveness. Oh, mercy! See?

L-117 But, notice, twenty years of Jesus Christ manifested! Not one organization has roused, and not one will; it'll die like every latter rain move, and everything else. This is the end time, the Seed, and it won't be heir with the shuck, no more than Ishmael was heir with Isaac.

L-118 See here now how close she is, close enough to deceive. Luther, the stalk; Wesley, the tassel; and Mary, the shuck, or the womb, or Pentecost. How I could go right here on that shuck, and show you. Down through the age, it's never come so close till like it is right now. Everything is the church, the church, see, the "she."

L-119 And notice, it was the "she," in the beginning, that doubted the original promise. It wasn't God took His Word back. God isn't taking His Word back today; He is confirming His original Word! But Sarah said, "Maybe, peradventure; we're waiting."

L-120   That's what's the matter with the people today, you're trying to climb into something that you don't know what you're climbing into. How you going to do it unless you know what you're doing? Are you walking blindfolded? Trying to climb into something that you don't know what you're doing, you'll fall. "If the blind leads the blind, they both fall in the ditch," Jesus made that quotation.

L-121   But now we're standing at the time of the Seed. Now the Seed will hold, (what?) support, cooperate with the Seed holding It. It was set there for that purpose, to hold it.

L-122 Because, as the sun comes up in the early spring, upon the wheat, watch the whole nature through the season roll, through the day roll, everything roll just perfectly right, with God. Now when that warm sun begins to shine upon the seed, it breaks forth. But the world has to be in a certain position to make that Seed break forth out of the dirt. It has to come around this a way, and get in a certain position to make that seed come forth. It had to come that way, to get it up out of the... upon the dark age.

L-123   Some people, this critic that I said wrote the book, A Silent God, he said, "All through the dark ages, them poor martyrs died, they went down, them Christians, and God sit in Heaven as if He wasn't even concerned." Why, the poor illiterate, blinded, spiritual blinded man, if his eyes were only opened! Don't you know the seed has to lay in the dirt, to die and to rot, before it can bring forth again?

L-124 And the church of pentecost died, through the early Catholic church. And she just come in a stalk form, but you see how closely she is shaping, each one through the Lutheran, Wesley, Pentecostal age? You understand? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-125   Now It's got to come right straight back to that original ministry that He had here on earth, 'cause it's the Bride. They are one. Now He promised, in the last days, how these things would happen. And we see them happening, like all the promises, Malachi 4, Saint Luke 17:30. Oh, how many more Scriptures, it'd be endless!
