<TITLE>14. Par 123-134</TITLE>L-123 You all remember. I said, "It may be the bridge." I told Brother Woods, I said, "Hold your property. Maybe that bridge is going to come through up here, something." The lane was tore up; bricks, rocks, throwed all over everything. So he said... I said, "Hold your property." Then when I...
Mr. King told me that was going to happen.

L-124 I went in, said to my wife sitting there, "Honey, there is something written about that. It's THUS SAITH THE LORD, somewhere."

L-125   I went in and got my book, looked into it, and it said, "It shall come to pass..." Eight years later!

L-126 Then when I looked at it, I said, "It's time now, honey, we must turn west."

L-127 Two days after that, standing in the room about ten o'clock one morning, I went into the Spirit of God. I saw that little cluster of doves flying, looked at them little birds. You remember it. I seen seven Angels in the form of a pyramid, come rushing in to me. Said, "Turn westward, go to Tucson, be forty miles northeast. And you'll be picking a cocklebur," or a bullheader, they call it there, "off your clothes."

L-128   Brother Fred Sothmann, sitting there looking at me right now, was there that morning. I had forgot about it.

L-129 I said, "A blast went off like an earthquake, that shook pretty near everything there was in the country. I don't see how a man could survive it." I was scared. I stood at Phoenix, you all listening in tonight bear me record. I preached on the sermon, Sirs, What Time Is It? "Where are we at?" I went West. Many of you here got that tape, many of you here heard it said, year or more before it happened.

L-130   I went West, wondering what was going to happen. One day I got a call from the Lord. I told my wife, I said, "Honey, I'm... probably my work is over." I didn't know. I said, "I... God, God is probably finished with me now and I'll be going Home. You go get with Billy, take the children. God will make a way for you, somehow. Go on and live true to God. See that the children get through school, raise them in the admonition of God."
She said, "Bill, you don't--you don't know that's true."
I said, "No. But a man couldn't survive that."

L-131 One morning the Lord woke me up, said, "Get up there in Sabino Canyon." I took a piece of paper and my Bible.
The wife said, "Where you going?"
I said, "I don't know. I'll tell you when I come back."

L-132   I went up in the canyon, climbed plumb up where the eagles was flying around. I was watching some deer standing there. I knelt down to pray, and raised up my hands, and a Sword struck my hand. I looked around. I thought, "What's that? I'm not beside myself. Here is that Sword in my hand; bright, shiny, glistening in the sun." I said, "Now, there's not people in miles of me, way up here in this canyon. Where could that come from?"
I heard a Voice, said, "That's the King's Sword."
I said, "A king knights a man with a sword."

L-133 He, the Voice, come back, said, "Not a king's sword, but, 'The King's Sword,' the Word of the Lord." Said, "Fear not. It's only the Third Pull. It's the vindication of your ministry."

L-134   I was going hunting with a friend, not knowing what was going to happen.
And someone called me, the one that criticized me about that picture of the Angel of the Lord, the one that took it. I had to go to Houston about his son, for he was going in the death row and was going to be killed in a few days. And he met me in there and throwed his arms around me, said, "Think, the very man that I criticized comes to save my only son!" The humane society give me what they call an oscar, or whatever you want to call it, for saving a life.
