THIS AFTERNOON AS WE TURN TO OUR SUBJECT THIS AFTERNOON WE WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE YEAR IS STARTING OFF WITH A VENGEANCE. As we mention some of these events and conditions, this afternoon we will discuss more of them this evening. We simply want to point out that we are in the sign of Libra and this is weighed in the balances and found wanting. The world order then is under measure, and all of the conditions that we have mentioned are starting off with tremendous activities.

The powers of darkness are launching their attack and they are seeking to gain control. And all of the left wing forces and all of the Communist patterns among the nations are all very active. At the same time the forces of righteousness are speaking out and they are gathering for the fray and their is no question of the fact that we will see a very eventful year a most upsetting year. It will be filled with much activity and much violence. And of course the patterns of war will hang over this year from one end to the other. But I want to point out several things that are most significant the attack on Beirut, and the coming attack which they now promise upon Egypt, led by Israeli, is not only fanning into flames the whole middle east. But the Lebanese are now throwing their armies on the borders. And they had not been at war with Israeli before. Because Israeli promised to respect the Lebanese borders, then attacked Lebanon without cause.

TONIGHT WE ARE SPEAKING ON THE SUBJECT, “THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE.” When we announced we were going to speak on this subject little could we know the course of events which would take place. However, we gave a prophetic preview in 1963 in which we told of the seriousness of this hour through which we have just passed. We told you of the strange measures in the sky, and how they would effect the Presidency. But let us turn for a moment to the book of Jeremiah to the 30th., chapter and the seventh verse and we read:

“Alas for that day is great, and there is none like it, for it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble:” but out of that verse also comes these words: “And he shall be saved out of It.” but it still remains the time of Jacob’s trouble.

We turn also to the book of Daniel and look at this declaration concerning Michael the Archangel, and this is a most significant declaration because Michael the Archangel is referred to in the 12th., chapter of Revelation as the power who led the Mighty hosts of heaven, and the forces of YAHWEH (God) in the battle for the defeat of the Dragon and his forces of darkness. There in the 12th., chapter of Revelation, in all Protestant Bibles, as well as the Catholic Bible, all identify Lucifer and the Luciferian forces as the dragon. All Tell of how Michael the Archangel, and the armies of heaven threw the Lucifer and his followers out of the heavens. How he was cast to earth and there continues his warfare against this race of people who have the Testimony of Jesus the Christ, and the commandments of God.

THIS AFTERNOON AS WE TURN TO THE TESTIMONY OF TRADITIONS AND THE PATTERNS OF THE ORIGIN OF OUR RACE we find that there is nothing more basic than to know from whence you have come, that you might have a clear vision according to biblical prophecy and divine pattern as to whither you are bound. There are forces who have invaded our society and the great nations of God’s kingdom, who have designed to change our course and to shape our destiny, and send us into a program of disintegration. This shall never be accomplished with the design with which they have purposed, because that which has been ordained from the beginning shall be carried out, as the great spiritual waves of vision and inspiration shall once more stimulate your race to carry out their responsibilities before the Most High God.

We must turn in our thinking before we even search the ancient patterns, as to the records of the people of earth, to the words of the Apostle Paul in the book of Romans which I think is vital to the prediction as to who you are. Turning again to the book of Romans to the 8th., chapter in which the Apostle Paul said: that the spirit of God whose spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. And if we are children then we are heirs in the earth, and we are heirs with the embodiment of the man Christ Jesus.

OUR SUBJECT THIS AFTERNOON IS ‘THE TEN VIRGINS’ OF MATTHEW 25. The wise and the foolish virgins. ‘Then shall the Kingdom be likened unto the virgins, which took their lamps and went forth to meet the Bridegroom. And five were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish, took their lamps and took no oil with them. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the Bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight, there was a cry made. Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.’

Before we go any further with this particular parable, we tell you that it is a peculiar parable which our LORD told, and we must find out this relationship or who these people are we are reading about. We want to know, rather, we want you to know that these virgins are by no means the Bride of the Scripture. For the Bride is well marked in scripture because God is married to Israel. God of the Old Testament, YAHWEH said, ‘I am married to Israel, and Ephraim is my first born.’ And thus, HE was married to Israel. And under the New covenant, HE is married to Israel. And will be rejoined with Israel, HIS wife, under the New Covenant, and under all the blessings of the New Covenant, in the hour of HIS return. If you turn to the book of Revelation 21:2, it makes this point clear. ‘I (John) saw the Holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven prepared as a Bride adorned for her husband.’

WE TURN IN OUR THINKING THIS AFTERNOON TO THE SUBJECT OF THE CUP. There is no doubt that historically there is an important and interesting portion of history surrounding the Cup itself. Even a different and deeper one around what the Cup was to symbolize. Something new was experienced by the disciples, but nothing new in the mind of Yahweh, for He had known these things before the foundation of the world. We have described for you some of the conditions in Palestine during the time of Christ’s ministry, and how the powers of darkness and the forces of evil by usurpation had usurped the power of the Priesthood and taken over the power of the Temple. That true Israel, Judah and Benjamin understood that the Temple was not in the hands of a proper Priesthood.

They perceived that the defence of true Judah and Benjamin was not these soldiers under this false Priesthood. Although they knew they were under the Roman Empire and that Rome considered Palestine only a vassal province, still they realized that their greatest danger came from this evil which had penetrated deep into the Temple. This is why the Essene Company had gathered together and were trying to preserve their records, and scrolls, and doctrines, and were planning for the rebirth of Israel in Palestine. This company of the Essene’s met in secret caves and in homes of the peoples of Palestine, and there they continued to maintain the true scrolls of the Scriptures, and where out of this organization came the defensive organization which rallied an army which would have crowned Christ King. Even today all Christendom is talking about the Palm Sunday entrance of Christ into the City of Jerusalem.

We turn tonight in our thinking to the subject ‘The sword of the LORD.’ There is nothing more important for us tonight than to know that nothing has gotten out of hand. God has not released His control over His Universe. Nor is there any part of His Universe which is not subject to His authority. And eventually these powers of darkness which think they can defeat the Kingdom and carry out their assassinations of earth, shall be broken and subordinated to the power that be.

We are thinking as we survey these conditions of an edict that we see in preparation. The United Nations has just completed an entirely new order, which is to take effect October 2. And of course, is established as a new measure of obedience. It is an executive order in the area of the United Nations to all of the member nations. I point out to you that it is called ‘Race Relations Declaration.’ And it binds all members for an immediate end to all discrimination.

We think this is rather significant for it binds every man, every organization, every institution and every educational program, all religious activities and all corporations, profit or non-profit, all existent operations in Hayfield, to these complete and unique United Nations regulations. They also make it a crime to discriminate in any area whatsoever as attendance in churches or in education. They go so far as to say that such discrimination based on race, colour, or creed, or origin, is even in areas of education or in profit institutions is illegal. They call upon all member states to immediately enforce this. And in this instance, I will show you how far they go.

ON THIS MEMORIAL DAY, as we are thinking about our soldiers dead, there is this time taken out to give some measure of recognition to those who gave their lives for this nation. And in the long course of our history, we can go over a long continuity of those who sacrificed, but who carried out the destiny ordained as far as the destiny of God’s kingdom is concerned. With a dedication that they would not hold back either their lives or their comfort when it came to the preservation of the structure of God’s kingdom.

These United States were a great and tremendous purpose in the mind of God. And long before this nation came into being, our forefathers understood that this was going to take place. The vision was given unto David even as he stood by the Kings pillar when he was crowned. And David was told about a land that eventually where HIS people would dwell, and from which they would not move anymore. A land that was beyond this spot where he stood now in old Jerusalem, by this pillar of the king. That eventually, we were going to see a great expansion of the program of God’s kingdom.

The prophets proclaimed such a nation, a nation of tall and clean shaven men. Looking forward to the great impact of our day. They talked about a land divided by rivers. They talked about a nation that would be great from its beginning. They talked about the ‘wings of an Eagle’ that would mark such a nation. And surely, those who have given their lives for the destiny of this nation were fulfilling the doomed destiny, that which was known in the ancient past, even to the prophets.

TURNING TO THE SUBJECT OF THE STREAM OF LIFE, we realize there is a very vital sense of knowledge and understanding concerning the life which proceeds forth from God. Its purposes in earth, the vastness of Grace, and most important for us each one to perceive. Probably there has never been a time of more uncertainty or when it is more important for us to know our relationship to HIS STREAM OF LIFE, and to the vital purposes of God as now.

We would turn for one moment to the book of Revelation, Chapter 22, and we read these words of John as he stands to behold this great mystery of the force of God and he said: ‘I saw a clear pure river of water of life, clear as crystal. And it proceeded out of the throne of God.’ When he discusses this great force, and the healing power which lies within this stream where in grows the tree of the Kingdom. The tree which grew 12 manners of fruit. Each one a symbol of the 12 tribes of Israel. Each one of them a symbol of God’s healing of the nations. And the fruit of Life, and it flows as a mighty river from the throne of God.

When he discusses this great force, and the healing power which lies within this stream where grows the tree of the Kingdom, which grew 12 manners of fruit; each one a symbol of the 12 tribes of Israel, and each of them a symbol of God’s healing of the nations. And the fruit which it bore was the fruit of Destiny. And its life comes out of the STREAM OF LIFE. And it flows as a mighty river from the throne of God.

I think there is nothing more important for us to understand this afternoon, than the impact from this STREAM OF LIFE, and our relationship to the Law of Life. There is a passage in the book of Romans that I should call your attention to for it says: “And the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, has made me free of the Law of Sins and Death.”

ONE of the most important things for you to know is to know the mind of God. And the only people who can know the mind of God are people who can think in the same wavelength as HE thinks. People who can understand the mind of God can understand HIS purposes and HIS revelations.This we know. You cannot learn this by going to a Jewish synagogue. Not one single Jew can understand the mind of God. Did you know that? In the Gospel of John, Jesus talks to these people and HE calls them liars and murderers from the beginning. And HE says that they cannot understand HIS words because they cannot hear HIS voice, HIS words. HE said, talking to the Jews, ‘You lack the ability to understand MY words.’ Then if a Jew cannot understand the words of God because he lacks the spiritual connection of a son of God, and has no part in the begatting of the MOST HIGH, then he has no way of interpreting the words of God and no way for teaching the word. So, there is one thing a JEW CANNOT DO and that is ‘teach’ you the program of the Kingdom.

To top this, you cannot go to a denominational church and learn about the program of the Kingdom. Oh, you say, ‘surely they know the Bible, because they went to seminars and they studied.’ Most went to college and a theological seminar and were taught pastoral psychiatry by a Jewish psychiatrist. They were taught to take a text and straightway depart from it. Some of the people think that the Kingdom of God is a facet of the concept of the mind concerning their better instincts and qualifications. Inside the church, they are teaching a pattern of revolution and the policies of man creating his own concept of God.

AS WE TURN IN OUR SUBJECT TO THE STONE UNCUT BY HANDS, we go back into the book of Daniel for Daniel was one of the wisest of men. In fact the scriptures tells us that there was none wiser than Daniel. We go back into Nebuchadnezzar’s great and tremendous capital of Babylon, which would outshine in power and majesty and strength, all of the kingdoms of that era and its day. And the king over this great city was Nebuchadnezzar. We understand that in these days the walls of Babylon rose up 300 feet high, and were 175 feet in width. And around the top of the walls of Babylon 15 war chariots could ride and the total length around the city was 15 miles square.

Inside the walls of Babylon was a secondary wall. And upon this second wall stood men who would pour led down upon anyone who would break down the first wall. And behind them were the tremendous companies of Babylon. And behind this was what they called the break wall and then you entered into Mystery Babylon. Mystery Babylon the great, the great city of the apostate forces of earth. In fact this was the city of Nebuchadnezzar but it was also the city of a false prophet.

This was Baal-god. High in Babylon’s mountains came kings and queens and people of stature to reside in Babylon’s mountains, with its hanging gardens and beautiful buildings. It was a city of power and majesty and none could break into this city. And high on the hill was also this statute of Baal. Here was the symbol of Luciferianism, total and incarnate. Here in this mighty temple of Baal the Vestal virgins by the thousands served Baal. And they served in this wild orgy of sex and corruption. More powerful than this were these priests of Baal, and they controlled the economy of Babylon. The king was supposed to be the ruler but he had little to say under those who ruled over this economy, of Babylon. The people who dominated ancient Babylon, were the people today called Jews.
