Cast A Pretty Shadow 130.

TRANSLATION ALERT 130
Cast A Pretty Shadow
Neal Frisby’s Sermon CD #1431 8-23-92 (AM)
Well, feeling good this morning? He is really great, isn’t He? I’m sure glad He brought me here, you know. I didn’t have a message this morning, but I thought I’d just come on like it is and see what the Lord had. You know, He is really moving for those that want Him to move, and the people that don’t want God to move, He is not doing anything for them. Can you say amen? You’ve got to have action with Him. Lord, how wonderful it is to be in the house of the Lord. You are drawing your people together, bringing them together. Blindness on every side cannot see the truth. It seems like it was painted right out in front of them. They cannot see the truth. Now touch all of thy people together. Bless them all together, Lord. Meet every need that I have been praying about. Take care of every child of yours and make sure, Lord God, that he is guided in the right direction. Temptation is on every side, be with them, bring them through it, Lord, for soon you are coming to get us again. Give the Lord a handclap. Thank you, Jesus. All right. You know, I am going to preach on that because I’ve been working on a number of things in the nation still. And so, I just kind of touch on a little bit of something like that. Go ahead and be seated. This whole nation is in a transition period. The church is in a transition period. The whole generation is in a transition period. We are at a point where they can’t go back, although they try to rerun things and so forth and go back to history and so forth like that, but they cannot go back now. And the sins they have committed, they can only go further and more will be committed. How many of you believe that? More idolatry, they will have more false worship and then, thank God, we will have more true worship. God is really going, I can tell in my own life, the way that the Lord is doing it, that there’s something going on that He is going to do that’s going to take the world by a surprise. The Lord is a great surprise package to begin with. It’s a great mystery. But there is one thing about it, no one can deny Him that’s got any sense at all. How many of you can say praise the Lord to that? It’s exactly right. And what happened to me in my life to pull me from the field was something that really I knew from years ago that He was going to give me some time again. And three times in my ministry, once, I think, off and on for two and a half years; when I first started the ministry. I just started
really powerful, going really good and then the Lord would kind of pull, and I would come back. As if to say, you know, He was teaching me starting in the ministry some things that I would know in the future. And then when He sent me here and this building went up and stood, most ministers were running and jumping in, to see all they could do and what they could do. He didn’t. He pulled me back. He kept me writing to the nation and sending things out to the nation and so forth like that. And He pulled me again for a number of years. As you remember, just the office remained here, and we had crusades several times a year. And then I told the people, I said, you better listen to the messages and listen to what He’s got to say about two years ago. As I said, I feel something from the Lord, and I feel the Lord and that’s not me. And I feel the Lord is going to try to pull or He is going to take me off the field for a while again, just before that translation. He’s got something that is coming. You better listen to every word that the Lord has said, because He’s got reasons for doing that. And you go back through the Old Testament and every time a prophet begins to come to a peak, all of a sudden, he’s gone for a while. And you wait for a while and you will read some more chapters and all of a sudden, he’s gone for a while. And it’s the Lord’s way of telling the people, let’s check things over now. And you know, when the Lord gets finished, the people that really belong to the Lord, the ones that the Lord is really going to get, they are the ones that are going to stick it out. How many of you believe that? He really has a way. He has a way.

1. You know, this morning I wrote, Cast a Pretty Shadow, Cast a Pretty Shadow. Well, when the earth was created and God came down and everything was good, He cast a pretty shadow. I mean, beautiful, everything that He did. And now the world is an imitator and in all of its glamor and all of the things that it tries to do, it is only an imitator and all the luxury and no matter all the inventions, no matter the glamour and the pretty lights and all of the different things that they can do, they can only imitate. God is the One that casts the great light and the light of life. Do you believe that in your heart this morning? And He has cast a pretty shadow in your life. If you belong to Him, you have the Prince of Life. Now we know the Lord is drawing close and He is getting closer and closer and closer and the world as it is, is getting further and further a art. Although the way that they do things, it looks like they are trying to come to the Lord, they are trying to expect the Lord, but there’s something going on that just does not match God’s Word. He’s chosen His kind, and He will bring His kind and at the proper time He will do it. Now, you know, all over the world, events are taking place, everything is taking place. And some people say, you know, we know that the Lord talked about His coming and He talked about summertime harvest time. That gives us the clue that evidently, sometimes in the summertime He will come and get His children. We don’t know, as you would say, real positives about what He is going to do, but He kind of leans in that direction. And of course, the four seasons begin to tell us about the rest that I wrote about, you know, Armageddon and the winter and so forth like that and we begin to see it. And a lot of people say, “Well, you know, the Lord is coming, how will He come?” We know about the seasons kind of like and how close it will be and how God’s Word is and what we know about what it’s going to kind of look like on the earth there. We know that there will be things taking place in Israel, a time clock there. I’ve got a lot of writings coming. They will be coming to you one by one as we get to them there as the Lord blesses you there. And you look around, and the Lord declares not by His own mouth, but by angels. He is declared by ministers and even sometimes He allows the devil to even tell you that He is coming in a certain way because the Lord will not leave you without a witness. And I know, this generation, I believe it is the coming of the Lord, or He would not have pulled me in such a way as He has pulled me off the field unless something was going to happen and something great is going to happen. It is going to be the going away and I believe it’s coming sooner than most people think.
2. Now I was writing something and as I was writing along and everything and about the events, what the earth would be like when His coming will be near. There will be wars and there will be famines and pestilence around us. There will be earthquakes. There will be great revolutions going on, worldwide distress and all of these things that we wrote about. A prince that shall come is rising on the scene now. He will make his appearance soon and as he does, you watch out for crises you’ve never seen such a sight in your life that’s going to take place. And I was writing along there and earthquakes, you know, and now after 30 years, scientists, frankly, off of the scrolls are saying, if you don’t know the final warnings, they said, if you people don’t have sense enough to get out of California now, you’re never going to have sense enough to get out of here. I will have a release on what they are writing about, what it’s showing them out there. And as I was going over the signs and the things that’s taking place on the earth, and you’ve heard them all, I won’t go through it. That’s supposed to be at the end of time, the knowledge increases and so forth. I thought to myself, and I was writing along there and He has always said, “Be ye also ready.” It’s like, as if, you know, at a certain time that you see certain signs, your suitcase better be packed. You better be already prepared because when He gives a midnight cry, you’re not going to have time to throw anything in a suitcase because He is going to get you together and get you out of here. How many of you believe that? The ones that, yeah, they are already going to be, you are already going to be [packed]. Even in Matthew 25, the foolish virgins, not foolish virgins, but the wise, just barely by the skin of their teeth, heard the midnight cry there. And so, they were all packed up, ready to go because the others [the foolish virgins], they tried to get packed up. They ran to get packed up. They wanted to get ready, but when they came, the door was shut.
3. And all kinds of clues, the Lord’s coming is up. The Lord draws closer. He draweth
   nigh. It’s almost as if, if you will take those scriptures like a magnifying glass, that He will appear suddenly unexpected. We know that in the final end of it, but draweth nigh means by the signs, you can actually see Him drawing. When the first automobile was created, you could see Him drawing. When the atomic bomb began to come out, you could see Him drawing. When the great revivals broke out, you could kind of see Him drawing. And when you see the crime and you see the streets and the immoral conditions bypassing Sodom and Gomorrah and some things that I’ve read about lately that people have sent me and what all has happened, you can see Him drawing even closer. But His coming will be sudden, all of a sudden and it will be unexpected. It’s as if the people begin to see, well, the Lord’s coming, you know? And then next year the Lord’s coming, you know? And for 40 years, the Lord’s coming, you know? See these signs? In fact, they have seen the Lord coming until finally they are taking it for granted, “Well, the Lord will just keep coming.” No, He is really going to come. Can you say amen? Now, listen to this right here. And I was reading along there, and I said, He said in an hour. He didn’t say in a day, in a week, in a month, or in a year, but He said in an hour that you think not. He is practically talking right straight to the elect. Unless He revealed that, they would have missed it too. In an hour you think not. Now, as we put that together, it would possibly be likely, now, these are possibilities, and we’re talking here. You listen to it real close, because some of it would be out in print. Probably got a lot of other stuff with it and so forth like that, that if it was on a Sunday and everybody is in church all over the world, it would hardly be an hour that you could say in an hour you think not. They would be church-minded, and many of them would have their mind on the coming of the Lord. So, evidently, He will bypass. May not be on a Sunday night. Now, we’ve got it down from the seasons and right on down, and some people say, “Well, I wonder what day.” Well, nobody knows the day nor the hour of it, but it’s going to be so close in there. So, you say, “Well, what’s He going to do?” Well, from what I can see, the way that He is speaking, that is that some great type of crises or something will take place so to startle the world that their minds will be a million miles from the translation, and their minds will be so occupied in amazement of what’s going on in the world, that it will be in an hour you think not. Their mind is 10 billion miles, the wise virgins, the foolish virgins, and the rest of the lukewarm church that their attention has been focused on something. Whether some gigantic quake like California, of course, it could go on and pass and not be it, or like some threat of an atomic war that’s not really going to come at that time. And the whole news media, everything is focused on something to take their attention off. And unless God had forewarned His children in the midnight cry, evidently, their minds would be so carried away, and their minds would be so focused on something that is occurring that they also would miss when He would say, “Come up hither.” How many of you are with me now? Now, He is going to do something. It could be an assassination, a worldwide one. It could be something of such startling, even from the heavens, aliens, we don’t know. It could be such a time that satanic forces move in in such a way that startles the world, but their mind in an hour, it’s going to happen in an hour that you think not.
4. Now, you remember, there’s all kinds of clues in the Old Testament. During the time that Enoch walked the earth, he was symbolic, the seventh from Adam. We are in the seventh church age; there will be no more. The eighth one will leave, which will make up the bride. It’s gone, if you want to call it out of the seven, and he [Enoch] walked among them, and all of a sudden, he was gone, but he was only one person. They didn’t know what happened, but to take their minds off of it, they had great huge giants in the land, with great destruction and violence was everywhere. So, they didn’t think about it very long, but in their minds, in an hour you think not, Enoch isn’t going to be around here anymore, and something happened that was so startling, in such a way, they missed it. They didn’t even see him go, and then this huge ark, the great, the great sign that God gave, began to take their mind off, if they even thought about anything, it was there. So he was carried away, and the great population explosion, the great worship of mankind, and worshiping of even the planets, not like God would give His signs, but as deities, and so forth like that. All of these things were taking place, and they always had spell binders wind up, and so as far as Enoch being taken out, it was a great warning, to those people during the time, that there would be a great flood, and they better listen, because he was a sign that God had given to warn them, that he was going to do something. So, when we came right down to Noah, the great sign was right out in front of them, such a startling thing, so huge and big, in an hour you think not, and they got to looking at that for about a hundred years, and it didn’t even mean anything to them. Pretty soon after the thing was built, but nevertheless, before they knew it, unexpectedly, it said they were carried away, all of a sudden, without knowing anything. So, at the end of the age, something is going to take place, in such a way, be careful now elect, your minds will be focused in the wrong direction, but I know my own, I predestined them, and He is going to get them, you believe that?
5. Now you remember, the greatest sign of that, in an hour you think not, the greatest sign was Elijah, and just before the end of the age, he was called aside, and he was taken aside, and even one time for three and a half years, he disappeared, man. He was willing to go and tell them something, but God wouldn’t let him. He was called aside there, and that was a great sign that something was going to happen, not only was the world going to break out in a terrible famine, and all these conditions were going to happen, but it was a sign that the Lord was coming, He was coming for Elijah. It was symbolic. Finally, He turned him loose, and when He turned him loose, why he really had a revival with a woman, the elective church there in the oil and meal, the Word of God and the power of God, and he went and did what God told him to do, and it wasn’t long, calling fire out and so forth like that, and as you know, he practically forecast his device. He took Elishah with him. They were going to cross Jordan, probably talked a little bit about it, getting on the other side of there, and you know what, sure enough, like Enoch, this time the Lord allowed it to be seen more in the open, and here it came down, the great ship, that perhaps the size of it you would look at on the outside, it might look like ordinary, not ordinary ship, but just a size of ordinary ship, but on the inside, nobody in this world knows how many dimensions is in that thing, nobody knows, because illusions [on the outside] that God would put there. Nevertheless, whatever he got into, he got into it, and here’s another thing, it happened suddenly, it happened unexpectedly, and it happened all at once. It almost took him off guard. When it took place, the old prophet got in, and the old prophet was gone and that’s all there was to it, and you say my land! The sons of the prophets were across the river, surely, they got a glimpse of something up there, and they got to see that going away, and they got to see Elisha, and in an hour you think not. Boy, the great prophet that had profited and come to them seemed to be no more, he was gone! “Maybe he disappeared like he did before, maybe God called him off to the side or something,” but he was gone! And here came Elisha, and he began to tell them, and you know what, “Go up that old bald head” (2 Kings 2: 23). He was a bald-headed old fella; Elijah was a hairy man. You know what, to take their attention off of, and the rest of the people off of that, two bears came out of the woods, and they began to maul the 42 youths that were laughing, and they were gesturing about what happened to Elijah, they were making fun of Elijah. But it didn’t take very much time that that great event [the translation of Elijah], not a crisis that mauled those 42 people–which is about the time of the tribulation period we have at the end of the age [42 months], they had forgotten all about that translation, or anything about it. In an hour, you think not, and the talk in the city was not about what happened to Elijah, but what happened to the 42 youths when the bears got a hold of them there. It seems like the attention was taken away, and at the age we live in right now, something is going to occur, and when it takes place, the whole world’s attention will be focused, and then the Lord said, in an hour you think not, as everyone’s looking the other way, I will slip in, and I will take mine out, and the wise will not even catch it, and then the foolish will not even catch it, and if the wise were not roped down by the midnight cry, their heads would have been turned too. So, remember, we’ve got the great coastline, we’ve got an atomic threat in the east, we’ve got great things that could happen from the heavens that they are already seeing, and they don’t understand. They are now monitoring huge asteroids, that if they stay on their course, could be dangerous for the whole world, not only wiping out a few people, but half the population, or even more at one time. You have some great crises that could come. So, at the end of the age, just before, He gets His people ready, and He is going to bring them together, and unite them together in great power, just before this. I suspect some crisis of some sort will have the world’s attention, if not, as soon as that translation takes place, the attention of the world is going to be drawn to some fantastic wizard, some fantastic wonder. “And they wondered after the beast” and that is in the middle of the great tribulation—”as they were wounded to death and did live” (Revelation 13: 3-4). As upon the earth, and as far as the translation goes, just like they did the children, you know, the youth, they will laugh it away, like as if some of the alien ships took these people away, or something happened to them. There will be such a voodoo type of supernatural, an evil type of signs and wonders in there, that the people that are left on the earth will have no idea what happened to the few million people, or the millions of people that got out by the coming of the Lord. So, remember, while [if] you are around, you lull yourself to sleep, and the world at that time will be in mad pleasure, it will have all kinds of things to do. They will soon get out of this recession, for better or worse, and they will come on into something. Finally, it will get into great prosperity, and finally it will get in such a way, that the attention is totally drawn from God, and how that He is really going to hold that attention, is going to be a mystery. But knowing the supernatural, now you’ve got to mind each one of you yourself, and you say, “It will never fool me.” Well I’ve heard that before, haven’t you? Paul said, “You don’t know what’s on tomorrow.” You don’t know what’s going to happen, so always in your heart, you say, I’m prepared for the Lord, if He comes today, I’m looking for Him. But there will come a time now that the whole world is going to be caught up in such madness, and some of it I printed to us 15-20 years ago, and now the things that are taking place, you would have to say, have reached a stage of madness. We’ve never in all of our life seen such a population saying and doing the things that they are doing. It’s almost like, you know, on farms and things, they have corrals, and they have the cattle in one place, and the horse in one place, another place, it’s just like the kind of freedom, the United States just went towards immoralization [immorality] , rather than towards democracy, and so forth, as you might call it. It’s just like they just took down all the fences, took down all the corrals, and just like they turned them loose out in there, and you know, finally, the more freedom you get, the more dictatorship has to come. Dictatorship will finally come under freedom. It will be what they call freedom dictatorship, and everybody will want it in order to save their own throat, that’s how rough it’s going to get.
6. But nevertheless, we are in a crisis age, we are in the century that prophets have wanted to look into, ever since the 19th century up to it, and ever since Adam and Eve, wondering, and God showing them a little bit of all the years that they lived; what would be the next 5,000 years, something that’s going to take place, we wonder, and we look out here. God cast such a pretty shadow on Eve and on Adam, and the earth, ah, so beautiful, and now we look upon it, and God has judged part of it already, and it’s still beautiful. What will happen? And so we find out that sometimes in rocks and places, that someone had put down that the earth would be destroyed. First, Adam knew it would be by water. Enoch knew it was going by water, and we know that Noah was going to go by water, and then they knew at the end of the age that it would not be destroyed exactly by water. Although the great poles will be moved around in such a way that it would take an avalanche of ice and water and come upon the earth, it’s going to be destroyed by fire, and the prophets gave it over, and over, and over, it shall not fail, saith the Lord. It shall be exact order, and it shall be timed exactly as I timed it, and upon this earth that you’re upon now, that hangeth upon nothing; everything that I have spoken is fitting right in the place that I’ve said it would fit it in. But satanic forces have tried to twist it up and put it in another place, but it still sits where I put it, how many of you say praise the Lord? And everywhere you look, you will see them cast a pretty shadow. It will not be the Lord, and they will preach, they will use my Word, they will use my Name, yes even the name Lord Jesus, and they will misguide a multitude, for they will almost deceive the very elect by using my Name. But they cannot get my Name straight, because they do not know Who I am, can you say praise the Lord? They go so far, and they have to have other gods, and they start off like they’re going to start off in the beginning, they had one God, boy you couldn’t shake them loose from it. The next thing you know, they had another god, man, they got more people, they had another god, and they got more people, that’s God. They put more gods out there, and they had a slew of people, then they had so many gods they didn’t know what to do with them. The next thing you know they had more judgment than they knew what to do with. Now you go over to India, and there they say there are millions and millions, starting off with just Confucius or different kinds of gods, Buddha and so forth like that, and now they’ve got a name of a god for everything that moves in India. Look at the famines and the starvation, and the ignorance, and the heathenism, which means non belief in God and no belief in God, knowing nothing about God and believing in all kinds of gods. You might not believe this, but all of this around the world will be blended finally into a glamorous scarlet beast type, a woman rider, all of it put together (Revelation 17). You say, “Where will be Pentecost?” The blind leads the blind, say the Lord, and they will all fall in a ditch. You say, “You mean they will be that stupid?” With the pleasure that God has revealed to me, and the different types of crises that are coming, and the outlawing of the type of even finances that we have today, and the new laws and structures that are rising, which I foresaw that are coming–When people get used to pleasure, and when people get used to having plenty, and modern conveniences, and they want protection, and they get in a place to work, they’re afraid, and fear has gripped their hearts, and fear has gripped their hearts, then they will strike out at anything–Pentecostal or not. But the real ones that love God with all their heart, they’re going to anchor down, saith the Lord, and they will hold that same anchor that’s been tossed overboard since the gospel’s been preached, and that gospel boat is still sitting with that anchor, don’t jump out of it!
7. So, at the end of the age, we will have the lukewarm Pentecostals, and you know as well as I know, He is going to bring this right to you, where you will be called a liar yourself, if you try to disarrange it, or if you try to fool with it. He said I will — the Laodiceans, which are Pentecostals too, that have got on the lukewarm side –I will spew the seventh church age out. It does not belong to me. The Laodiceans, I will spew them out of my mouth. I cannot swallow such a thing. That means that some of the lukewarm, and some of the Pentecostal systems are going to be caught in a trap. They are not going to be able to get loose. The ones that foresee it, and the ones that believe in their heart, they have made a dreadful mistake, they see the translation now is gone, and that the translation people had the Word, they flee out of these systems. They flee into the wilderness in many parts of the world, blood runs just like water, where they die. And the others. and some of them that followed afar off, evidently, they just go all the way in, and take the mark of the beast, possibly, probably some of them even Pentecostals in there, that get twisted up, but God knoweth His own. You remember, out of the disciples, they had Judas Iscariot, and you might say he took the mark of the beast in one way. How many of you believe that? So, at the end of the age, the coming of the Lord draws nigh, He declared it, the angels declared it, the ministers declared it. Apostle Paul said the Lord Himself, Jesus, will come again. So now, all over the world, it’s fitting, like God just got through. If you could have heard what He said a while ago, everything that He has said, no matter what this world looks like, and paints it out in front of you, it isn’t going to work that way. They can put it out, and after these elections, and after world leaders, and these different ones come, they are going to paint all these things up in there. But the Lord said, it will not be like you are going to see it with your eyes. It’s going to be exactly as the Lord said. So, on this planet, God is getting ready to call time, we don’t know the exact minute, nor the hour, but I can tell you one thing, according to the way that He put it in the Bible, He is coming as a thief, in an hour that you think not, also suddenly and unexpectedly. It means that their mind was focused on some gigantic event. It also means afterwards, there will be such a crisis, they will not even know what happened to those people when they’re gone. But there’s one thing you can count on, saith the Lord; I am coming to get the ones that believe in me. Can you say praise the Lord to that? So, worldwide distress, the world will cast a pretty shadow, it will look beautiful, it will look like the real thing, it will have almost anything that a person would want, finally. But it will not be the Lord, it will be an imitation to the real thing. Now, remember, just before He comes, mass delusion that sets in, in such a way, that it looks even like it is of the Lord. But knowing the Word of God, we don’t even have to look, we can just glance and see that it’s all wrong. Can you say praise the Lord this morning here? I never really had a message this morning, I had a few scriptures to read and didn’t really get to read all of them. Behold, I come quickly, it’ll be fast, and I’ve been noticing signs on the earth.
8. I’ve had a chance, they’ve sent me a lot of paper, I’ve had a chance to read more articles, that they clipped out of my prophecies. I had some of those prophecies, I went back, I did a little bit on the later prophecies, you’re going to get a little repeating. Someday I am going back deeper, and way back there. I went back 25 and 20 years ago, and some of the prophecies, it was just like you read them in the headlines, taking place in the last six months, in the last year or two, that are taking place. How many of you believe that? Over 25 years ago, I wrote about a man, didn’t know the exact time, would come along, and would unite Europe. That was in the late 60s or maybe early 70s, and I said, ht will unite Europe together, and then I said, then Russia will come in, and people thought, well, the Iron Curtain, you know, John F. Kennedy couldn’t break it, he tried everything he could, he wanted to get that Iron Curtain down, he wanted to convince it to come down, and every president has tried to get that Iron Curtain to fall down, between the two Germanys there. If they could split it up, they could bring the rest of Europe together, never could do it, but when God says it’s time, and after all those years, 40, maybe 50 years, a generation of time, all of a sudden, according to Bible prophecy, the old prophet raises up. Just like I said a while ago, saith the Lord, that what I said, it will come that way, and it will come no other way. They tried to make it look like you could never take that wall down, and that communism, the way it was, would never be like it was. The Bible didn’t call it communism, it called it clay, the masses that are in there, among the others, the ones that are, say they finally will believe a little bit in God, but they are all atheists, they are all rooted under there. And at the very hour, all of a sudden, a man did come, he didn’t stay very long, for a while, and he’s still on the sideline, and the right pope arose on the scene. I felt the man would be a pope, that united it, myself, and mentioned a pope in there, in different articles, and after 25 or 30 years, whatever it was that I had written. All of a sudden, for no reason at all, but due to economics and famine, and revolution beginning to rise in those communist countries, boy, they could not handle it no longer, something that our own president was caught off guard, and all the presidents had tried, but the handwriting was on the wall. God had promised that they would unite, the world would. I had written that a man would bring them together. I saw that the other day, somewhere, I thought it’d be a little earlier, probably, but it would come together, and you know what? I think about 1989, or somewhere in there, all of a sudden, through all those crises, that wall crumbled, just as if it had never been there. All of a sudden, the two Germanys just come back together. The next thing you know, world trade now. They’re wanting to trade with Western Europe, which will be one of the most powerful blocks that the world has ever seen in economics, right now, putting out much trade, and more than the United States, with all nations. It’s going to begin when they will have their spats. They will make a golden trail right to Russia, finally. Russia will finally come around after all these revolutions, you see, and have to see it the Babylon way, and have to come into that. And so, after all the presidents tried, after everything happened, just a fellow walked out, and it was over with, like that. And so, overnight, the attention of the world was drawn to a great and powerful, spectacular wonder. Now, Western Europe and Eastern Europe can come together to form Revelation 17, indirectly to the United States, working with the Middle East, and having a covenant in there, and the Jews are now working, after all the money the United States has promised them, they are working away, they’re going to try to work it in there. They’re going to have more troubles, but on account of their cycles, I can name their cycles since they went home, and in those cycles, there will come a cycle, where instead of having a war at that time, they will have peace at that time, in that cycle, but it’s not going to last.
9. And right now, they’re working, and that time clock, now we are a time clock
   ourselves over here, the elect bride is to the rest of the world. And that time clock is clicking, and when this comes, the people won’t even know it because no one is going to sit in no temple, they’re just going to be in an agreement on border lines, an agreement of protection for the Jews, and then they will be gone. But three and a half years later, the prince that shall come will have such power, that he will walk right in, and take everything over, and he will declare, “I am god.” By that time, with what I’ve just told you, of all of the things that are coming upon this world, and the things that are going to happen, they are going to believe it, see, but the bride would be gone, can you say amen? So, we find out, and going over the scrolls, event after event, after event, has taken place, leading right in, it’s 20 years, leading right up into the 90s, leading right in where we are at now. I didn’t want to get off on that subject, because someday if I go back, I will try to touch on it, and then reach into the future with it, and then show it just how it is going to work. But this is no time, because I haven’t been around here as much- because God has somehow pulled me in such a way that if I could, I would, but it’s such a way that He has done things– because I’m not around, don’t mean the Lord is going to come. Now just before He comes, strange things happen, His people are tested, they are proven, saith the Lord, and when you’re proven, “buy me gold tried in the fire” see? And if you buy me gold tried in the fire, it will endure, how many of you believe it? It is going to last, and you don’t know what hour that you will even go, or who will go, or what will happen. But we’re living in that hour, to where now, in this decade, in this century, I believe it, it’s my opinion, my heart, that you are going to be proven for what you say you are, how you say, Lord, “I am the real thing, now Lord, I believe that I’m yours.” But He’s got a way, and when He gets through sounding, there’s that proof, and when He sounds, then whatever you are, is going to show up in colors, saith the Lord. That’s exactly right, He is astute, even in the parables, He was called one that was a real businessman, and He watches everything. So, you believe in your heart, the best thing is to receive all of His Word, doubting nothing, no matter if the devil throws it at you, just account it as a blessing, as that it is real, and believe the Word of God. So, all this is going on, the Lord is proving His children, He is testing them to the letter. Some of you have already suffered, some of you have been through certain things, some of you are going through other things, some will be going through some things, but the Lord’s hand will be with you. No matter what He is doing with me right now, I’m going to the nations, and I’m sitting out in the nations, His hand is with you. In fact, I believe, when I’m off to the side praying for you people, like I’m praying, that He has mercy, that He is even with you in a better way, if you know how to accept that. Well, He is a living God.
10. So, I’m going to close this off right now, down through here. If you need anything from God, this is the hour to get it in, because this is the decade, don’t let it slip by. As I said, we use the terms, you know, 99, the year 2000, but as far as we are concerned, He can come at any time and get us. How many of you are ready to go? Well, the world’s headed into some spellbinding things, and I’ll tell you one thing, boy, you want to be prepared. I want you to stand on your feet, you know, if you are new here this morning, I just kind of talked this morning. They run some ads, I think, everywhere, and in the advertisements, I believe they told them what they could expect in this decade, and as far, as close as I could see it, I believe those events. And you know, when it was first made, the first time I ran that was about March, or somewhere over there, they have even had the big earthquakes out in California, and I told them the big major earthquakes were coming. I think a month after that ad was run, along with a world leader rising, differing events taking place, and the pictures I showed, the war, that will be a covenant finally made, and the Chinese and Russians will invade the Middle East finally at the end of the age, different things like that before the whole thing is over with. After all these things are over with, and they got a slight glimpse of what that decade is going to go through, you might not have got to see it, but they scattered them a little bit everywhere. So, when I’m not here, I’m preaching to thousands of people anyway, just to let them hear what’s going to take place. I mean, I think that guy, brother Dan, I think he turned them things loose, he got them and scattered them in every direction until the people got to see them at nighttime, and middle of the night, wake up with it, and go to bed with it out there, and they got to see a warning from the Lord. How many of you feel the presence of the Lord here this morning?
11. All right, I want you to continue to pray to have God’s will, the way that He will move on me, and the way that He will move on your life. Let’s lift our hands up, and let us give Him the glory, and let us see what He has for us tonight, amen? Be back in these services. Prepare your heart, as we’re living in a time where you want to stay close to the Lord. Shout the victory, I am with you, saith the Lord. Oh, yeah! Jesus! Reach out! Oh, touch your heart.
