The End Of The Gentile Days

...freedom to Russia, which he did. And I had this little article that was brought to me and I just thought I'd bring it along and read it to you. It says. "Soviet legislatures give final okay to free worship. Moscow. After seventy-two years of atheistic communism the Soviet Union on Monday guaranteed citizens the freedom to worship as they pleased. The Soviet legislature gave final approval to a law giving this nation, two hundred and ninety million people, the right to practice Russian Orthodoxy, other form of Christianity, Judaism, Islamic, or any other religion. The parliamentarians voted 341 to 2, and the law took effect immediately. The legislature also declared the separation of church and state. The Soviet Government will no longer have the right to interfere with religious activities and atheistic propaganda is now illegal, while before it was the norm. The new law on religion is just one more instance of the Soviet Union discarding basic attendance of market communism. Communism founders Karl Marx, called religion the opiate of the masses. After the 1917 Bolshevic revolution the Communist Party tried to wipe out religion, believed by executing, and imprisoning and harassing clergy and worshippers and by confiscating churches. The new law denotes the Communist religion of atheism while proclaiming all other religions equal before the law. The 1977 version of the Soviet Constitution actual says religion and atheism rank equally. Life for religious Soviet citizens has been steadily improving since President Michael S. Gorbachev came to power in 1985. Since then many orthodox churches that have been turned into atheist museums, or warehouses have been given back to the clergy and allowed to reopen. Baptisms have skyrocketed in many places, but especially in parts of Ukraine. Georgian and Armenian private markets openly sell religious paintings and articles. Last spring the state run media devoted a lot of time to explaining to people what the Orthodox Easter holiday is about and how it is celebrated, and Russia's parliament has declared Christmas to be a public holiday this year. Even the churches inside the Kremlin the Communist Party's Headquarters have been permitted to conduct services recently. The most heavily persecuted religious group in the Soviet Union, the Jews, have benefited from Mr. Gorbachev's assentation. Jews have been allowed to emigrate in vast numbers but those who stayed find that their religion no longer prevents them from winning promotions. Synagogues and cultured centers have been established. Many clergys survived the decades of repression by supporting the Communist Party. Many have been accused of being virtual puppets. Now, however, outspoken members of the clergy even serve in the national and state parliaments." I think the Lord deserves a hand for that, don't you? I think that's wonderful. That most assuredly is the hand of Almighty God. It could never be, but God broke down the iron curtain. Only God could do that. That shows you what the Lord can do when He wants to do it. Some little something I was going to say there. Strangely enough one of the reports that we got that, it appeared from the report that we got that three places was outstanding in this, and they named three places. One of them was, of course, the Kremlin was there, and the three major places was the very places that we went to when we were over there and gave out the literature. And the places that we hit the hardest, the places where we were harassed, these were the places that seemed it be the most instrumental in the change over. I thought that was really wonderful. Which proves that we had some part in the thing that took place. So, I thank the good Lord for those wonderful things. God is indeed moving by His wonderful spirit and things are happening. I'm thankful. I'm thankful to be a Christian. I know that we run into problems all during our life time. We're no exception. Though we be Christians, though we be children of God we're not exception. We're in a world of problems. Life in the world is few days and filled with problems. And the reason it's full of problems is because the devil is the prince of this world, and being the ruler of this world he has everything under his control and the very days are evil. Paul said, When I would do good I find the law that evil is present with me. And man's thoughts, the Bible said, even man's thoughts are continually evil. And since the days are filled with darkness, as to intellectual darkness, man is oppressed continually. The devils and demons are all around him. You see, allegorically speaking, these things by types as to pestilence, the little fire ants, the mesquites, the bugs, the diseases, the germs. All the disasters of life show these things as to the powers of Lucifer and we're in this world and we have to cope with the situation just like everybody else. We're no exception. We have to go through these things just like everybody else has to go through these things. We have to suffer just like everybody else. The rain is on the just and the unjust as to the blessings of the Lord. Whereas, they get in on our blessings, in that the rain is on the just and the unjust. And we get in on their sorrow, in that we're in the world where the devil has got control. So we get the hurts and the bumps and the bruises. And the Bible said, If in this life only we have hope, then of course, there is nobody any more miserable than we are. We are of all men the most miserable. But we do have hope beyond this life, therefore, we are not of all men most miserable. But if we did not have hope beyond this life we would be more miserable than anybody else, because other people have hope in this life and they have great plans and programs for this life. And we make efforts toward sacrifice in this life continually of self-denial. So we would be of all men most miserable. But nevertheless, to me it's a joy. It's an abundance of joy and blessings and glory just to make some little effort. What little sacrifice I've made, what little efforts I've made in my life for the Lord Jesus Christ has been the highlights of my life and been so wonderful to me. I just wish I could have done ten thousand times more than that. I get so discouraged sometimes with the fact of not doing more for the Lord Jesus. Like a letter we received from over in Africa. Somebody wrote and said, Brother Pike, said, Don't be discouraged. Said, You're literature is evangelizing Africa. And said, Because it's so nice in the printed form as to the work that you folks do, said, it goes right to the people of the upper echelon. Said, We can give it to them, too. And that's thrilling. That's exciting, you know. But I still get discouraged, not over what I'm doing, but over what I'm not doing. Because I would love to do great and mighty things for God. I would love to do a lot more for God. We need to be doing a lot more for God. We are barely scratching the surface as to what needs to be done for God. I see__ You know, we've been working for God for numbers and numbers of years and I see lot of the young boys and girls__ I believe it was today I made the statement. I can't understand why that anybody that has plenty of strength, youth, and health would be so foolish as to throw their life away with dope and drink and worldly frolic. Seems like they haven't got good sense to me. Of course, I know they haven't got good sense. I mean we already know it. We don't have to run them before a Psychiatrist to find that out. We know they haven't got good sense. But the reason they haven't got good sense is because they let the devil take their good sense away from them. If they had good sense they wouldn't do that. But the thing is, it's not because God hasn't given them good sense. It's just because they have allowed the devil to take their sense of reasoning and they took the garbage that he traded to them. You know, he traded them out of their good understanding and good reasoning and packed off some garbage on them, and out reasoned them, and they went away with some of his garbage, you know. And because of that they wind up dope addicts and soon turn into what we call a vegetable, or a drunkard, or some kind of something that ain't fit for nothing and wreck their health. And too late when their minds are gone and their health is gone and their name is gone and everything else is gone, then they turn around and they say, Well, I wish I could do something for God. See? But this is sad, folks. You don't want to do nothing like that. The Bible said, Remember your creator in the days of your youth before the evil days draw nigh. That is to say, your reaping days when you'll have all this to pay for. When you are looking through the bars, or when they set you down in the electric chair, or when you are already wrecked and gone and you ain't fit for nothing, you know. Don't wait until you start reaping, because youth is reaping quick. How many of you know that youth is reaping quick in the day we're living in. See? God doesn't go by your age. He goes by your understanding. To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is a sin, and the soul that sinneth shall surely die. People many years ago got by many years before they reaped because they didn't know much. There wasn't much understanding. People wasn't very educated and it took many years for people to understand just a few things. But now people are very brilliant and they understand things within just a few years that people years ago didn't understand for many years. So then, things are required of them fast, and so then, judgment comes fast. And people die quick. So then, that means that God's narrowing it down more and more and judgment is falling fast. So then, you want to get down to business with God. And I can't understand why that people who are young and strong and healthy don't give their bodies to God. The Bible said your body is the temple of the Lord. And the one that defileth it him shall God destroy. You let the devil play around with you body and God will destroy that body, because he can't live it it. See? God is life. He's a spirit of life and health. And if you mess around and let the devil play around with that body, and defile that body then life can't live in it. It's like your blood stream. See? Life dwells in the blood, as to your natural life, and scientist, medical science will tell you. You let a disease get in that blood and you can't keep life in there. Let a cancer germ get in that blood and you'll die. Now cancer might strike you on the outside and cause a bad place and they can cut it off. Maybe take a laser and burn it off, but let it hit the blood stream and you are in bad shape. You know, something will have to be done quick and a lot of times they can't help you. It's the same way with sin. You know, you might run into a few little things and get a few spiritual bruises, but you let sin get into your heart and God will destroy that body. That's the end of you. So you don't want to do that. You don't want to mess around like that. Don't contaminate your life with sin. Don't play around. Once you come to the knowledge of the truth you are chargeable whether you are young or old. You are chargeable to God. To know to do good and not do it then that's sin, and the soul that sinneth will die. Your soul will die on the inside while you are still naturally living and when your soul dies God has no more time for you. You can cry, you can beg, you can plead, you can do whatever you want to, but if you are twenty-one, if you are twenty-five, if you are thirty-five, or forty-five, or whatever, when you come to an understanding of God and your soul dies you are gone. That's the end of you. You have committed the un-pardonable. You've done crossed over. That's the end of you. God can't help you after that. And so you are dead. Now the Bible speaks of being twice dead and plucked up by the roots. The Bible said if you are in sin and trespasses you are already dead while you live, for they that live in pleasure they are dead while they live. So, as it was with Eve, the day that thou eatest thereof thou shall surely die. She died in trespasses and sin the day that she eat thereof. She lived quite a number of years as to the natural, but she was already dead out of the presence of God when she ate of that tree. So then, don't do that. I just look at the people and I think, My God, these people know about the Lord. Why in the world don't they do something for the Lord? Why do they waste their time, you know, especially the young people. I go for town to town, state to state, from country to country traveling around the world and I see it everywhere I go. And I see these young people and I know they are in the same old rut everywhere I go. I was over in the Carolinas not too long ago, and here probably five thousand young people roaming the street in the same old rut every night. It looks like they'd get tired of that. Like a bunch of dogs lapping their own vomit, the old sow wallowing in the mire. The same old thing every night. They get out there and they spin their wheels and they curse and they snort and they smoke and they are back to the same old vomit the next night and they fight and they scratch and they go back to the same__ You know, I'm the kind of fellow I like variety. If it wasn't nothing but variety I'd get tired of that. You know, and I know a lot of folks say, Well, you know, Brother Pike, you've got to remember we're young. Yeah, I remember that, but I'm going to tell you something as I've told you a lot of times before. I one time was a real young fellow. Believe it or not, I one time was a teenager, too. I was thirteen, I was fourteen, then I was fifteen, then I was sixteen, and I was seventeen, I was eighteen, I was nineteen and twenty. And did you know when I was fourteen I didn't take dope, and when I was fifteen I didn't drink beer. When I was sixteen I didn't take dope, and when I was seventeen and eighteen I didn't drink whiskey, and I didn't drink beer and I didn't take dope. And I didn't go around vomiting and letting somebody vomit on me. And I didn't go around trying to fight, scratch, and cut. And I didn't want to be in and out of jail and I didn't want to be around filth. Somebody said, Well, bless God that's because you was a Christian. I didn't know nothing about being a Christian. I just had good common sense. God gives folks good common sense. And when I saw them boys and girls standing around vomiting, kissing on each other and swallowing each others vomit and that mess, and them in that kind of rut I didn't want no part of it. That's right. You say, Well, it wasn't like that. Yes it was. I remember being with some one night. I never will forget being there. You know, I played the guitar and sang. And they said, Play and sing, Brother Pike. Or they didn't say Brother Pike, you know. Said, Play and sing. Said, We're going to eat chicken. Man here they come vomiting through and dragging the chicken and had the dough on their face and had the dough on their hands and they had flour up and down here, and they were going through there and they were just wobbling about, you know. And I thought, My goodness. Let me get away from this place. And you talk about a mess. Quick as I could I got away from that place. You know, but when you are out there with them and you've got all that stuff you know, in you, you know, you just want to cling to them, you know, and eat their chicken and their vomit and all of it together. Ain't that awful? And when you get a chance, you know, while somebody holds their hand you'll run up and smack them and show how brave you are. Come on, folks. Let's be realistic. Somebody says, I'll show them how brave I am, you know. Somebody was holding his hands behind him. I'll jump over and I'll smack him and everybody will know I'm a hero. You coward. I heard of that happening the other night. Let's give the Lord a hand. I said, You coward. If they'd turn his hands loose you'd run like a scalded dog. All right. So you know where we're going. See? You don't have to do that. You don't have to do that. Boy after boy here, young boy after boy, I warned them. I spoke of their death. I told them what was coming and they are dead. They are gone. They've passed away, got killed, something bad happened to them. Boys and girls, different ones that we spoke of, they are dead, they're gone. Women and men. They are gone, passed away. As a matter-of-fact, it was yesterday that they came along and they said, Brother Pike, would you pray for a boy. Said, He just got shot. Said, He's fifteen years old. He was over here a few days ago. He was giving me problems. As a mater-of-fact, he give so many problems he caused some of our boys that has never fought before, don't dope up, don't go out and get in a mess, and he caused them to fight, to get into a fight. Troubled me, troubled the security. I said, Well, we'll just pray about it. Prayed for the boy he went right back home and got shot. He's in a dying condition. The bullet went into his spine, into his, maybe lodged in his kidney, or near his kidney and the boy is in a dying condition. That's pitiful, folks. Just a young fellow. I feel sorry for the kid. See, you don't want to do that. You don't want to do that. It could be my boy, it could be you, it could be anybody. My boys have done bad. Sometimes they've done things they don't have any business doing, don't have any reason to. If my boy drinks, if my boy fights, he don't have any reason. I haven't taught him that. I haven't led him in that way. I didn't drink. I didn't do that as a pattern before him, and I didn't do it when I was young. I didn't have any reason to do it. See? But the devil is the devil. He don't care who it is. As long as he can get a hold of them that's all he wants. But I'm going to tell you something, folks. Not only to you that are listening here, but these that go out on T.V., or go out on the tapes, or go out in the printed page. The ladies take these off and they go out into Africa and India, and different places around the world. I say this to them that hear, or these that read, or whatever. You people, young or old, whatever it might be, you know, a lot of the young people are in this kind of condition, because the Bible said the parents have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are on edge. But you need to get away from this, you need to get away from this. You need to stop this foolishness. I know the parents, a lot of your problem is because the parents won't live right and won't do right and they are in rebellion, and they are going wrong, and doing wrong and just won't listen. And they've got to do their own thing and they've let the devil in on you, and it causes problems and they rebel against the pastor or they rebel against the church, or the ordnance of God and they won't do what God commanded them to do. They've got to do their own thing. I know that. But nevertheless, you're going to pay for your wrong, too, for causing problems. And wherever you are at, whoever you are, whether you are here or abroad, when you hear these things, and know these things you need to get away from that. You know the youth of the world needs to change. One thing you need to understand first of all, is that we're in the end of the world. Like that vision I had the other night after that Nevada meeting, leaving that, or just as we got ready to leave that gambling casino I told my wife, I said, After this crusade here I said, it has to do with the translation, or the catching away of the Bride. And sure enough, after that meeting, the very last night of that meeting I had that vision about the translation. And the people were translated in the vision. And the Eastern crisis shows the end of the world. And this is the end of the world. And right here in the end of the world, you young people especially, and the church people, out of all the people in the world you need to get away from your ball games and your foolish, childish doings. You are to blame for the youth now with all of your foolishness of getting away from the Bible, instigating all these things, and bringing this rubbish into the church. You need to get back to spiritual things and get back to God and stop all of this foolishness. You're the ones that's put this thing in the church and pulled the children into it. The parents have done this. But this is what the Bible called the sinful, adulterous generation. The whole generation is sinful and adulterous. They are becoming rotten to the core. They don't want to live right, they don't want the right knowledge. The Bible said they don't have a love for the truth and God has turned them over to a reprobate mind to let them believe a lie and be damned. The Bible said, I'll send you strong delusions. I will send you these strong delusions, and I'll cause you to believe a lie, and I'll let you be damned because you didn't love the truth when you heard it. And he'll let these demons come. He'll send these demons and they'll overpower you. You'll wind up in a cage like a bird and can't get out. Or you'll wind up in the electric chair, or like this fifteen year old boy. They just went to his house and called him out, supposedly friends. When he walked out they shot him. See? You need to get away from this. You need to get out there. Try to convert those people. Get them some literature. Try to convert them. You know the truth. God will hold you responsible. Their blood will be on your hand, because you know better. You need to withdraw from that. Come out from those kind of things and get Eternal Life. Get away from those kind of things because they're going to throw you in a hole one day, and you'll shorten your days by your disobedience. You'll be there a lot quicker if you keep on going the way you are going. So something will happen to your little children, something will happen to you, something will happen to your wife, something bad will happen. You need to get away from that. Youth need to pull away from that thing. Hundreds and millions of youth need to pull away from that thing. And they are. There's people all over the world. There's youths, there is many, many, multiplied youths around the different parts of the world pulling away from it. I wish some of the youth could have seen those pictures that we received from one of our Brother missionaries that works with us over in the Philippines. If you could have seen those pictures, what a gruesome, what a horrible, hideous thing it was where these little children were mutilated, and wives, mothers were mutilated. I've never seen anything so hideous and horrible. They were shot to pieces, cut, ripped up. Even the Pastor's head cut off. They went right in the Church and they done these things. Communist did it. Shot them all to pieces and then took the song books and began to sing, took the offering. Young soldiers did that. Relentless, brute beast, some made to be taken and burned. And they also killed the ruler over in the Philippines, which really upset his wife. It put her into power and it upset her. And just recently, in the last few days, they took over an island. The communist moved on in to take over and island and it upset her so bad until she sent her planes in there, and she wouldn't reason with them. She sent her planes in there because of her husbands death and she blowed them up. She just dropped bombs right on top of the island and everything. They couldn't reason with her. They couldn't stop her. She wouldn't have no talks with them or nothing. She just blowed them up. She said she was having no kind of conference with them, because they killed her husband. But anyway, this is a bad situation, you know. We may go back over there. We had a great meeting there in the Philippines. We're planning to go back in there. But you need to do something, folks. Everywhere God needs people. I just felt like saying those few things tonight. It's wonderful since Betty and I have gone into Russia that Iron Curtain has broke down, and now that wall is broken down over in Germany that we said would break down, and we're going to see that one break down, or that was going to break down over in Israel. It's going to break down. That wailing wall is going to break down just like I told you. Now, these things are breaking down and people are coming together where thousands of people have been killed just crossing those boundaries, but it's going to break down. Now that thing is breaking down, that Mexico border there is breaking down. Bush is beginning to help Mexico and favor Mexico, and the leaders are coming together, and the barriers between Israel and the United States are breaking down, between Russian and Israel is breaking down. And the United States is coming together with Israel and Russia is coming together with Israel, and they are getting into a peace pact. And it's just wonderful. Everything is happening. But don't forget, that means the end of the world, and with the end of the world that means Antichrist is coming in. With the Antichrist coming in, the Bible said pray always that you might be account worthy to escape those things that's coming on the world, because just as soon as the Church goes out it's going to be so horrible that there won't even be any healing medicine. You can't even go to a hospital. You can't even get a healing medicine. See? Medicine can't heal except that the blood is on the Seat of Atonement, and when the blood goes off of the Seat of Atonement there won't be any healing in medicine, because God is the one that heals. Doctors won't be able to even bring and healing to you not even in the hospitals. You can't even die. You can try to kill yourself, or try to pray for death. You can't even take your own life. Death will be lifted. You can't even get out of the pain and misery. So then, it's a horrible, horrible, hideous thing. We're just going to talk to you for a few minutes here from the Scriptures. You think these things over, because like I'm telling you, things are happening. Things are happening, and happening fast. And when you get your warning__ See? Brother Pike keeps warning you over and over. People that are dead, numbers of them, young folks, old folks alike, we've warned them and we keep warning you over and over. The Bible said he that being often reproved, if he hardens his heart, if he stiffens the neck he'll be destroyed and that without remedy. there won't be any remedy for it. So when you hear these things over and over you need to really think about it because after awhile it'll mean something bad is going to happen to you. You'll lose your little one. Something bad will happen to you or your wife. Your home will be broke up. I told my wife, I think it was about two days ago. I spoke of somebody. I said, This person needs to do something. The Lord just let me know because of some things that they've said in an arrogant way that they are going to run into trouble. I said, They're really going to run into trouble, because of things they'd said. God didn't like it. And immediately she got a telephone call and found out that this person has done run into terrible problems already. Hone went all to pieces, everything went wrong just over night. So you can't do that. You can't do that. I won't hold you long tonight, but I do want to talk to you a few minutes about some things. (Begin tape one, side two.) Over in the sixteenth chapter of the book of Revelation. Now, I have detailed some of these things to you and I thought I'd just drop in just a few thoughts tonight to kind of magnify some of these things. First, in the fourteenth chapter, remember__ Let me say it like this. In the tenth chapter the mighty angel comes down. Revelation 10; 7, the voice of the seventh angel, the mystery is finished. He says when the seventh angel sounds in Revelation 11;15, the seventh angel sounds, the kingdoms of this world becomes the Kingdoms of Lord and of His Christ. He reigns forever and ever. The two prophets come on the scene. Revelation 12, there is war in Heaven. Satan is cast out. Lucifer personifies himself. And John in Revelation 13 sees this awful beast come up out of the waters. Whereas, we are living right there. I tell you that the calendar, according to the calendar dates it shows that this right there, and that the millennium is right on us according to the calendar dates. And then in Revelation 14, the Lamb is standing on Mt. Zion, the one that was sealed in Revelation 7. They were sealed in their foreheads, the four hundred and forty-four thousand, they are standing on Mt Zion here with the Lamb. And here is what he says in Revelation 14; 6. "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." That takes in America too. "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." (Brother Pike reads on through chapter 15, verse 1.) Now. (Continues reading starting at Chapter 16 verse 1 and reading through the 17th chapter.) I could go on here reading quite a bit because it goes on to tell how she's fallen and become the habitation of devils and of every unclean and hateful bird. Let's read this part here. (Continues reading on through chapter 18, 19 and 20 through verse 3. I didn't really mean to read so much there, but somehow or other I just felt to read that and go through that tonight with you, and just take a few minutes here to exhort you. But if you'll notice, the main thing that I wanted to point our here was: I said the other night that when these two came out and set on the cloud, one of these came out, he had a sickle. He thrust in the sickle, and I just lightly touched this the other night. He thrust in the sickle to gather the clusters of the vine, for it was said to him, The clusters of the vine is ready. Or that is, the grapes are ready. Thrust in thy sickle for the grapes are fully ready. Or that is to say, I say this one more time to you. It meant that Antichrist was now going to force people to take the Mark Of The Beast. He was now in power. It was now the middle of the week and it was now in power, and in that it was now in power he was going to force the people to take the Mark Of The Beast. And in that he was going to force them to take the Mark Of The Beast, there was going to be thousands of people that would reject the Mark Of The Beast, and he was going to kill them.. And the killing of these people was the spilling of the blood that is referred to as the grape of the blood, or the clusters of the vine when we use the terms the grape vine, or this went through the old vine. And so then, these people were those that were to be reaped by God that was to be taken away, or that is catching their spirit away, as to them that was killed during that period of time. Whereas, the Bible said, And these that died during that period of time are to rule and reign with Christ a thousand years. And then, of course, when the next angel came out that had power over fire, coming out from the altar, it was said to him that the vine is also ready. And he cast in his sickle to take those that were left, as to say those that took the Mark to cut down the vine, as we say going through the grapevine, to cut down the vine. Or that is to say, to take those people as to those three unclean spirits like frogs that went out into the earth from those images that we spoke of, the false prophet and whatever, the dragon, as to gather them together as to the nations of the world, into the valley there that's called the bread basket of the world, to bring on the Battle of Armageddon. Now, to gather them, said, cut down the vine and gather into the wine press of Almighty God, which means that he was to gather all these people from around the world, bring them into this valley. And then when he comes into this valley the Lord is to break the heavens coming back on the white horse, and the Saints of God is to come back with him and then the Jews are to come forth and at that time the slaughter is to be so great that the valley is to run with blood even up to the horses bridle, perhaps in the deep places as to the crossing. And this is called trampling the wine press of Almighty God. And that is the vine that is cut down to be pulled into the wine press of Almighty God. Now, this might not have meant a lot to people in years gone by if I had said this. But of course, I had never heard it said. But the thing is, I'm saying it because that's what it is. And with this, it might not would have meant a whole lot to people, but it should mean a lot to you, because as I said before, calendar wise it looks like the time of this approach is just moving on down toward about 19, in the 1900's right on down to 1996. Or that is to say, if there is a covenant to be made it looks like it's moving down to about 1993. Not that we say it will be there, but calendar wise it's moving down to that, and i remind you again that there is three years off set, as to the B.C. and A.D., if you'll go back and check history, as to the birth of Christ, or to His going up to Jerusalem. Going up we say, at nine years old when He's suppose to be twelve, as to the reality of it, because of the Bar Mitzvah. So then, there is definitely a three years period that's wrong there. So we really don't know what the calendar shows. And in that Antichrist, even Julius Caesar, or the mind of Satan has changed the calendar. Whereas, the Bible said he would change the times and the seasons, especially with inserts as to Leap Year, and the different things, as to the different calendars. And so then, we're moving on. This is coming up to ninety-one now, and if it goes into ninety-three that would be something. But we don't know what's going to happen right now in the next coming years, the next two or three years. Or what could happen right away. But we do know one thing. That there is but seven years in Daniel's last week. We know that there is four hundred and eighty-three years, as I told you. There is four hundred and eighty-three years of the time that the angel spoke of to Daniel. It comes four hundred and eighty-three years, right up to Calvary. And there is only seven years of all of the years that was spoken of left out of the whole thing. So then if that's true, then if that seven years did not take place from Calvary, because of the Church Ages, and cannot take place until the Jews come back in, or that is to say until the Gentile days are over, that seven years can't start again because it was said that this time is determined upon your people Daniel. So then that means that if the Jews are beginning to come back in and the days of the Gentiles are about over, the seven years will soon start again. If that starts at the beginning of the making of the covenant, in that that will bring the Jews back into focus, then that means that there is just seven years from that time. And the Bible said the covenant will be broken in the middle of the week. Now, if that is true, if it will be made at the first of the week, then the Church has to be translated. According to Revelation 4 the Church is seen in heaven. The door is open in heaven. In Revelation 6 the seal is open, and in 7 you see it in heaven. And you see the hundred and forty-four thousand sealed. So then, as to the four hundred and ninety years then where is the seven years? It's coming up now, as to the time of Jacob,s trouble. Only seven years left to join itself to the four hundred and eighty-three years. Now, if the days of the Gentiles are about fulfilled then that means that when this beginning of week come in, or the first of the week come in, then the two prophets will come on the scene to tutor Israel, and it means that the Church, just as I saw in the vision after the Nevada Crusade, it means immediately the translation has got to take place. And when the translation takes place that's it for the Gentile people. God immediately turns back to the Jews. So that means that the sealing of the Jews is at hand. The sealing of the Jews is at hand which means the loosening of those seals. So then, that means that if the Jews are coming in the Gentiles goes out. And as we say, to keep the meat from spoiling he has to take the Jews as the salt of the earth. Since we are the salt of the earth, and when we're taken out, to keep God from destroying the earth He has to have somebody in the earth, some kind of religious body in the earth that He can look upon, or if He doesn't have something He will have to destroy the earth, because He cannot leave the earth like it is with sinners. He cannot do that. He'll have to destroy the earth. And if the blood comes off of the Seat of Atonement, as to the Gentiles going out He will immediately have to destroy everybody, and everything in the earth, unless He brings the Jews in. If He brings the Jews in as the Gentiles go out, then He can spare the earth for the Jews sake. Now. He said that He would send Elijah, the prophet, and He would send Moses. So then, He will send them back and when He sends them back, then the Church goes up. If the Church goes up that will have to do with the first of the week. If that be true at the first of the week then how close is the Church to a translation. If, calendar wise it shows it, how close is it? You say, Well, Brother Pike, do you really believe that is going to happen? I've said this before and I say it again tonight. If this is coming to the end of a millennium, we've been through already five millenniums, and we are now approaching the end of the sixth millennium. God worked six days, rested on the seventh, and he likes a day to a thousand years and a thousand years to a day. And we are approaching the end of the sixth day as with God. Or we're approaching the end of six thousand years, and this one that's coming up after the last seven years, as to say from seventy three over to two thousand. That will mean that the coming millennium, when we say millennium we're talking about a thousand years. Ten years a decade, a hundred years a century, a thousand years a millennium. When we come to this millennium, this one coming up it will be the seventh millennium. Now the question that arises in my mind is this. Every thing is falling in order. Is God going to wait another thousand years until He comes back? Is He just going to run the Church on into this thousand years, throw every thing out of order calendar wise? Remember, all down through the Bible He follows a system. He follows a calendar system all down through the Bible. I can show it to you, as to the new moons and the Sabbaths, and all these kind of things. He follows them right on down through the Bible. Now is He going to throw everything out of kilt and go on another thousand years? If He does, if He just does disregard this thousand years, as to the millennium coming up that means He will have to go another thousand years. Now, what will that make it look like. Remember, the eighth, that will make it the eighth millennium, and in Revelation eight always has to do with circumcision, which means the renewed world, not the restored world. Seven always has to do with restoration. Seven always has to do with rest. Eight always has to do with the unveiled. Or has to do with circumcision. So then, as to the eighth thousandth, or the eighth millennium, will God do that? Will it go over there? Wouldn't that throw everything out of kilt? I know it could go over into the eighth millennium. I know that the calendars could be off a year or so, or a few days, or whatever, one way or another. Whereas the way that it appears to be off is in favor, as to back toward us, as to going out. It doesn't look like it's in favor as to moving over into the millennium. It looks like it's in favor as to moving away from the millennium, because of the time element that's involved. But nevertheless, if it should shift the other way, see? I don't believe that He's going to wait for another thousand years. I don't believe that. And I say this again. That with our way, as to electing a president, as to Mr. Bush's administration, he's suppose to go X amount of years, and then he's gets re-elected, if he should get re-elected, which would be four terms. Roosevelt is about the only one that ever did that, but being in as Vice-President, he would go four terms. Now, that is if he gets re-elected. If he did his administration would run out right in the middle of Daniel's week, right about the time, calendar wise, it would be Daniel's week, as to the middle of Daniel's week. Now, if he did that that would be just perfect for a re-election, as to bring darkness in. And it wouldn't matter who was elected in the United States. The people would not regard them above Michael Gorbachev. If he lives and nothing happens to him, and if he stays in office, which as a rule they don't put their people out of office like we do ours, and Mr. Bush if it follows the regular procedure of election he could not be elected again. And Mr. Gorbachev, having won his fame and popularity, his position, he would be (Begin tape two, side one.) the number one man of the world. Everybody would look to him, because Mr. Bush would be out of the way. Mr. Bush would be gone and everybody would look to the man with the Mark on his head. The man with the Mark on his head, everybody would be looking to him. And he would be the man, so far, that has come in by flattery. He would be the man that__ Mr. Gorbachev has done some great things as to this point he is a great man. He has done great things. He has done more for Russia that anybody else. He has acted with more sense, more toward peace trying to help, trying to bring peace and to work together. He's a great man. Looking at him as a natural man he's a great man. And I trust that he will continue to be that way. But I'm just speaking from a Biblical standpoint that with everything like it is things can change over night. And with the way everything looks, as to a religious thing. A natural man, that's not what counts. It's whether or not you've got God in your heart. That's what counts. Sometimes a religious person can be the most dangerous person in the world, but I'm just telling you that everything is pointing, calendar wise to the end of the world. If you can prove me wrong, that's fine. I'd like to know about it, cause I want to know the truth. If you can show me something that I don't see I'd like to see it, because I want to know the truth about it. But there is one thing about it, what I see I'm telling you. And what I see and understand I'm trying to point it out to you. And folks, I see the end of the world. And I not only see the end of the world, but I see where there are millions and multiplied millions, and millions, and millions of church people that are going to be lost, that's not going to make the translation. I'm talking about Church of God people. I see hundreds and thousands of Church of God people, or Pentecostal Holiness people, of Jesus Name, UPC, and Church Of The Lord Jesus Christ people that they call them by name, and Non-denominational people, and even Bethlemite people. I see hundreds and thousands of religious people that will definitely not make the translation. The Bible says if the righteous, talking about a righteous man and woman, if the righteous scarcely be saved, if they just barely make it, and they are righteous people, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear. And I see thousands of them as I travel around the United States, and I travel around the different parts of the world, I see thousands of them, and I know they will not make it. As a minister of the gospel I know that they will not make it. I've got people here on the home front, I know that they will not make it. Now, we're right here at the end time. Everything is shaping up for the end time. I say this to you, the Bible says, exhort each other the more as you see the day approaching. And I say this to you that you might set your house in order. God doesn't want it to catch you unaware. When Hezekiah was going to die the Lord gave him a warning. Said, Set your house in order. He doesn't want to catch you off guard. He warns you. He said, This day won't come upon you unaware. I'll let you know when it's nigh even at the door. I want to warn you. I want you to be ready. I don't want you to be lost. But folks, He said if you turn and do evil, and you begin to drink and be drunken, and drink with the drunkard, and you begin to fight and smite your fellow man, He said, I don't want you to know. He said, And I'm going to come in a day when you are not ready, and I'm going to come in a day when you don't look for me, and I'm going to smite you. And I'm going to appoint you your part with the hypocrite, and there is going to be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, because I don't want you to know. So then, I'm here to warn you and I'm here to tell you. I'm here for that purpose, to let you know. If you don't have a vision for God get you a vision. Without a vision the people perish. Quit just saying, I'm a Christian. Get in and do something for God. Get you a vision. Get you a vision. You better get you something to do for God, because I tell you. You'll never make it without a vision. There is no way. People that are wanting to turn loose of what they've already got you'd better get a hold of something else before you turn loose of that because you are going to fall. All right. Let's stand together. I love you. I want to help you, but there are no places in between, folks. There's no places in between. Now, I give these warnings for a reason. I love you and I want to help you. I really want to help you, and I wouldn't have anything to happen to you for nothing in the world, but I fear for some of you. I really do. From the bottom of my heart I fear for you. I fear for some of our young boys and girls. I can tell. I gave some of them a warning not too long ago. I can feel already there are some more death beds coming for some of our boys and girls. I've got young boys and girls and it troubles me about my own sons and daughters. It troubles me about your sons and daughters, because God is no respecter of persons. It troubles me about them, but death beds are coming. You mark what I'm telling you, because they are not going to listen. I've talked to them and they tell me, Brother Pike, I want to do right and I want to serve the Lord. But they don't want to do right and they don't want to serve the Lord, and just as quick as they can they go right back to the old vomit, the old wallowing in the mire, and you mark my word. If they go to prison or if something happens to them they are going to get off light. You mark my word. If they go to prison God's going to be letting them off light, because I feel death beds coming. And I trust to the great God of heaven that He can let them go to prison to keep them away from death beds. Going to prison is bad, going to prison is bad, but I can tell, I can tell in my heart even tonight that they have grieved the Lord, that the Lord is grieved over it. I can tell that. He's grieved over it, and when He's grieved over it that means heartaches. That means suffering. You've heard me say this numbers of times and something always happens. So you can count on it. There's too much going on, folks. What we need to do is get close to the Lord and start praying. All right. It's left up to you. Whatever you want to do that's your business. A lot of times, somebody says, Well, Brother Pike, one thing I don't like is you give warnings. You tell us these things and it makes us fear. You don't have to fear. It's like a sister that got away from here, they're dressing like they want to, they do like they want to. She's says they are happy. They don't have to be under this fear any more. Sure. They're happy. They dress out in shorts. They do what they want to. They don't have to be under this fear anymore. You can do the same thing. You don't have to be under this fear anymore. But you know what will happen? Because they've left the fear of God one day it'll hit them like that. It'll be a wreck, it'll be a death, it'll be a heartache, or it will be a bad situation. If they live through it then they will look back and they will say, My God! I wish I had kept the fear of God, walked circumspectively so these things wouldn't have happened to me. See? You can get out from under the fear. You don't have to have the fear of God. I thank God for the fear of God. The Bible said the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. I thank God for the fear of God. I thank Him for every warning. I take it, you know, as a blessed thing that He would take His time and warn me, and love me, whether it be in a dream, or whether it be in vision. You can tell somebody a vision and I do it sometimes, and they just rise up at me and say, Always telling me something bad, always, you know. They do that. Just like Micah, the prophet, back there, went before the King. He prophesied and they wanted to slap him, beat him around, said, You always prophesy bad about me. I just told you the truth as Micah said. Said, That's what the Lord said. Got his old false prophets over there, and they all prophesied good about him. That wasn't enough. That other King said, No. Said, Haven't you got another prophet? Said, Yes, but he don't ever prophesy anything good about me. Said, I don't want to hear about it. So he comes forth, all the other prophets said, Go up and prosper. Go up and prosper. Said, Now, what are you going to say about me? All the other prophets said, Go up there and prosper. He said, Sure, go up there and prosper. You know, go on Baalim. The old king knew that wasn't right. I told you not to lie to me. And there he was prophesying something good about him. He was still upset with him. He prophesied something bad he was upset, he prophesied something good he thought he was lying. He knew he was a wretch to start with. That's when he looked at him and told him, said, they all said you go up there and prosper. He said, If you go up and prosper__ Said, God ain't spoke to me, said, if you go up there and prosper and come back alive, said, God ain't spoke to me. He told him, Said, You go up there, said, they're going to kill you in battle. That was in essence what he told him. And sure enough the arrow hit him when he got there and he died as the sun went down. I'm just trying to tell you the truth, that's all. You know, you can go out here and they've got all kind of prophets, all kind of people. They'll prophesy all kind of things. They can give you a ten dollars prophecy, a twenty-five dollar prophecy, fifty dollar prophecy, and you can dance like a wild Indian, and they'll play the organ, most any kind of tune you want to hear. And you can go away just as happy as a lark. All right. Let's sing a little chorus. (Sings Sweet Spirit Sweep Over My Soul.) The altars are open. (Sings Haven Of Rest, I Need Thee and Don't Turn Him Away.) I really believe that the end of the world is here. I really believe that. I'm trying to do what little I can to make sure that my heart is right with God. In every way that I know I'm searching my heart, and I'm trying to make sure that everything is right in my heart and in my soul. I don't know what you are doing. You can do whatever you want to. I'm just your minister. I'm just trying to tell you that you might be able to be ready when the Lord calls you. And if you're ready that's good and well. If you are not ready there's nothing I can do about it. And it's for sure that if you're not ready when He calls there's nothing you can do about it then. It'll be too late then. You've got to be ready now. Now is the time. You've got to confirm your reservations now, as we say, and make preparations now because if you don't confirm them now you won't go later. It's got to be now. And I'm telling you again, if you don't have a vision now, to do something now it's for sure you ain't going to__ See? You've got to pay now. You are paying for your ticket now, as we say. I know that Jesus purchased them. I realize that, but you've got something that you've got to do, folks. And we need to do something. Let's sing this little chorus, Brother Taylor. (Sings I Claim Jesus First Of All.) One more time. (Continues singing.) Let's sing this together. (Sings The Sun's Coming Up In The Morning.) Let's give the Lord a hand, can we? I really believe that. I believe that the sun's coming up in the morning and like an eagle we're just going to soar off to paradise. I really believe that in my heart. All right. Let's sing this little song, Brother Taylor. (Sings They that wait upon the Lord.) Sing that with me. (Continues singing.) Can you sing it one more time? (Continues singing.) One more time together. (Continues singing.) What a wonderful thought, just to wait upon the Lord. Let's sing another little chorus together. Let's sing this one together. (Sings Coming To Carry Me Home.) Let's sing one more. Give me another key. (Sings Cross Over To The Other Side Of Jordan and Are You Ready For The Bridegroom to come. Begin tape two sing two.) Sing it with me. (Continues singing.) Now let's sing it altogether and give Him a wave offering. Let's bring it down to an individual thing. (Continues.) One more time, now. (Continues.) One more time, now. (Continues.) One more time together. (Continues.) One more time, now. (Continues.) Are you ready? (Continues.) One more time together. (Continues.) One more time. (Continues.) Let's lift our hands up and close our eyes. (Sings I Will Praise Him.) I'm going to ask Brother Pasdon to come and dismiss us if he will. Can you praise Him with us now as we sing together? (Continues singing.) Sing it again with me now. (Continues singing.)
