25-1 Now, this may seem a little strange to some of you, how that one word would break something like that, and the fire would scatter. See, it's because it's truth and the--the keynote to the message (You see?) that we're at the end time. God bless you, sir; I see your hand. God bless you; God bless you. I tell you, friends, there's many setting here, I believe, that'll stand a horrible persecution for their faith before it's sealed away.

wrote on paper, the Bible, for the great, smart intellectual world
to come. Now, as God has moved down through the age, we're at Leo
the lion. We're at the capping of the pyramid. We're in the Book of
the Revelations at the last chapter. Science says we're three
minutes before midnight. Oh, think of where we're at.
And notice, let's take the pyramid; it's easy. It runs kind of like in a triangle. When we were down here beginning at the early age of the church, after the reformation in Luther's time, just a man to say he was a Christian, either meant his life or death. They kill him for even saying he was a Christian. Therefore to go through persecution... Every age, through every time, there's been persecution. "All that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." In the age of Luther, it was horrible to say "a Lutheran." You was considered a fanatic and could be put to death. Many times they killed them at stakes, burn them, and everything else, for Lutherans.

Notice it now. How that when the time of the promise drew nigh, the
people began at that time, to see that there was something happened
to them, some troubles. And God always cause troubles, mostly
always, to bring the people together. Did you know that?
I believe there'll be a time when there won't be any more division amongst the people of God, such as "I belong to this church, and I belong to that church." I believe the persecution will run all the big ransomed Church of God together, and we'll be one in Christ Jesus. And then He will take her home. Now, we won't argue whether this doctrine is right or that.

Notice. Now, at the day that God was bringing His people together,
there arose a great persecution on--on the people, and Moses was
sent for a deliverer. He opened the Red Sea; he done all these
miracles... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
They know no more about it than a Hottentot knows about Egyptian night. That is right. And even spirits that's in astronomy recognized it before men who claimed to even have the Holy Spirit.

been throwed to me many times that... how long does it last? They
say, "Well, in a few days, most of them cases go right back in
their conditions." Then they try to say it's hypnotism, and so
forth, which we Christians are--are not slothful concerning those
things to understand that the enemy has always got something to say
against God. And we look for that. And we do not expect to go
through life without persecution, for the Bible says "All that
live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."

SATURDAY_ 51-0414, E-19 And all that
live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. The devil's
always been after the church of the living God. Is that right? And
it's always had a black name. Jesus was born in this world with a
black name, as illegitimate child. Did you know that? Supposed to be
born a--a child out of holy wedlock, Jesus had that hanging on Him.
But in His heart He knew He was the Son of God. That's right.

89, The Holy Spirit here tonight is a-wooing to the unsaved, now if you're without Christ tonight. And when the battle is over if you want to meet Him in peace and take the communion with Him, and you've promised that you love Him, and separate yourself from the things of the world, take the old rugged Gospel and the old fashion rugged way, and drink the cup of the bitterness of the persecution of the world. And drinking the bitter drugs of persecution of the world, it's given to us by the Bible that we'll drink the sweet wines of heaven someday, when we meet Him in peace yonder between the heavens and earth when He comes to serve the communion.

But what did Cain do? Just exactly what they do today. He sought out
a way to put him out of order. That's right. Brother, someday don't
you worry: if you're a real true Christian, your hide will be for
sale. That's--don't you worry about that. And right now you're hated
among all people for His Namesake, despised and rejected. See?

think of St. Paul out there on the isle after the shipwrecked...
Religious people put him in chains. The very finest of churches that day was what put him in chains. If it just wasn't the Constitution of the United States, they'd do the same thing today. That's right. Just wait till she's--till she's broke a little more.

In Switzerland I stood with my hands on the post like that where
honest men and women died when they cut their tongues out, and burnt
their eyes out and everything with hot rods, that prostitute
Catholic church. Not only that, but the early Anglican churches too
and your Protestant churches did the same thing. And they throwed
those spells by the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

218, Fifteen hundred years of pagan persecution, when they forced everybody and killed them, murdered them, strung them up. Put an ox on one and an ox on the other hand, and make them either kiss the crucifix or start one this way or that way. I've put my hand, right in Switzerland, behind the posts where they stood there and cut their tongues out and called them witches and everything else. That's exactly right. Right.

JEFF.IN V-11 N-7 SATURDAY_ 58-0927, 36
Now, notice.
... whom the kings of the earth have committed fornications, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. Her wine is what she was giving out, her stimulation: "We are the church. We're the one that's got it." See? Now, just draw that in your mind now. All right. So he carried... Like the angel told John, "I will show you this judgment that's coming to this great church." Now, watch. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman setting upon a scarlet coloured beast,... "Scarlet," in the Bible, represents "royal." The color "scarlet" means "red." And "beast" represents "power." Did you notice the beast come up out of the sea; that was in the Revelation the 13th. And when you see the beast coming up out of the sea, it's meant that this power was raising up among the people. But in Revelation 13, when this lamb came up, he came up out of the earth, no people: United States. But then after he had two little horns: civil and ecclesiastical powers. And then he received power and spoke like the dragon did before him. So you just got to mark it down; we are coming into a religious persecution with the same things that they did in pagan Rome many years ago, for it's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Now, what is it, "setting upon a beast, a power."
JEZEBEL.RELIGION_ MIDDLETOWN.OH
V-6 N-14 SUNDAY_ 61-0319, 62 Oh,
when Ahab was on the throne... You say, "He's on the
throne." That's right, but Jezebel was the head behind that
throne. She was the one that done the leading. Look how she took the
very laws of the land and twisted them around, and for her own gain
and for greed, and made Ahab do it because she was married to him.
And that's the way with our leader today. I don't say he isn't a
nice man, but look what's behind him: the harlot, the very thing
that we run here, to be America for; the very principles that
America's built upon... We, by our own free choosing, elected a
thing like that.
Now, you see why my voice is going to be stopped pretty soon, somebody's going to know. Yes. Why? Revelation 2:20, she called herself a prophetess. You just watch the wave of sin happen now. You watch core--go plumb to the core. You watch modernistic; watch ungodly things happen in the churches. "And, finally, there'll come a persecution," the Bible says so, THUS SAITH THE LORD. Certainly there will be. |
