<TITLE>23. Par 179-185</TITLE>L-179 Let me, in closing... It's about, pretty near fifteen minutes until twelve. Let me close, in saying this.
Friends, listen, in the Name of the Lord Jesus! These things are too plain for you not to believe It. It's too plain for you not to see It. Surely you can see That! Surely the world could see It! But just your...
Don't be influenced by these new fandangles and things they got today; I don't care how good a man they are, how sincere they are. "If they don't speak according to the law and the prophets," the Bible said, "there is no Life in them." See?

L-180   David thought he was right. He was sincere. Them priests thought they were right. They were sincere. But they just failed to consult the Lord about it. And how could they a done it? Maybe they said, "We prayed through." But that wasn't God's way of doing it. He promised that He would do nothing until first He revealed it to His servants the prophets. And there stood Nathan-ael right among them, and never consulted him at all.

L-181   Now read the next few chapters of Chronicles there, and you'll find out. When David set in the house, and said, "Is it right," and Nathan-ael was setting with him, "that I should have, live in the cedar, and--and the ark of God under the tents out here?" And Nathan-ael found, from the Lord, what to tell him to do.

L-182 And he had done done wrong, so then God said, "Tell My servant David I love him. I made him a name like great men in the earth, but I can't let him do it," see, "he done failed Me. See, I can't let him do it. I'll bring a man along, his son, shall raise the everlasting house of God." And that was David, of course. Which, Solomon typed it, but then he failed. Every man has got to fail. Every human being has got to fail.
God is the only One that can't fail. He can't fail. That's one thing God cannot do, is fail. And God is the Word. And the Word, no matter how it looks like it's going to come this other way, it'll come just exactly the way the Word said.

L-183   Now remember, you've got to follow the season, the time. See? And what season you're in, what time, and make that a vindicated, to see that it's exactly the Truth.

L-184 Now take all these musts, all the Word, all the types, and the things, and look where you're setting. Think of the hour we're living in.
Looky yonder, that nearly one-tenth of the earth is ready to fall in. Science says that. They're looking on the clock. Few years ago, said, "It's only three minutes now till midnight." Might be a minute, might be a half a minute now.
They said, "It won't happen in our generation."

L-185 "It could happen in five minutes." And notice the next thing he said, "Five years." I never said that now. He said that, the scientist. They're swarming away from California like flies. See? Well, the day that Lot went out of Sodom, the same day it rained fire down upon the earth.
One of these days God is going to take our Message, and we're going to leave here. Something is going to happen, sure enough, then, when the Church is gone, His Body, His Bride.
