Episode 134: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 100

Episode Summary:

Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; (Luke 11:47-50)

148 And when we—when we—when we see this world in this condition, seem to be falling apart in every age, when the world gets in that condition, the people prays. Oh, even the President calls for (what was it?) ten minutes or an hour or something, of prayer. That won’t do any good. What we need is not a pray, but a repentance, turning back, getting away from, forsaking. Come back to God! I’d rather have my consolation built upon the Word of God and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Presence of Christ, than all the security that politics or churches could ever give you. Certainly, ’cause I know That will stand.

149 We didn’t even have a nation we’d been better off, if we’d just have the nation of God, God’s Kingdom. God always answers and sends them relief, but they don’t want to receive it. That, God answers when the nation gets in these kind of conditions, everytime. When the world, rather, gets in this condition, falling apart, then God always answers their prayer, sends them a prophet or something, some mighty prophet to blast it. But they won’t listen to him. What do they do? Put him in the tomb. Jesus said, “Which one of you, your fathers didn’t put the prophets out there in the tomb, and then white, make them white now, and build up their sepulchres? And you’re the one that put them in there.” That’s right. “Which one of you?” They cried for help. God sent it to them, and they rejected It. Then what, is God to blame or is the people to blame? The people’s to blame. Certainly.

150 When Jesus was born, that world, as I said, is falling apart. It was controlled by politics, and politics was corrupted in them days. The national church was corrupted. The Romans and Greeks were looking for a anointed messiah. The Greeks and Romans which probably had the best part of the world, and they were fighting one, among one another, so they—they was looking for some anointed messiah to come. And the Jews, they wanted a messiah to come. And the Romans were looking for some great politician who could stand up in Rome, take over Greece and tell them how to do it, and Rome would rule the world. Greece wanted a great politician to stand up, anointed politician, a messiah, would say, “We’ll—we’ll take them Romans and Jews, and the rest of them.” See, that’s what they were looking for.

If that ain’t the picture today, I don’t know what it is. Right!
