26-1030A_IN HIS PRESENCE PT-8 (RECOGNIZING HIM AT HIS WORD)
Mat 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Mat 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
*IT GOES RIGHT BY THE PEOPLE
AND THEY DON'T KNOW IT.

7 The unrecognized Presence! What could these people be
thinking of? God has always, it's been that way every time He come. When Jesus was here the first time, He said, "You--you
whiten and you garnish the walls and the tombs of the prophets, and you put
them in there." See, something happens, and it passes by. "And God hides it from the eyes of wise and prudent,
and reveals it to babes such as will learn." Jesus thanked the Father for doing such. See? It goes right by the people and they don't know it.
*"A WICKED AND AN
ADULTEROUS GENERATION WILL SEEK AFTER A SIGN." NOW
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK HE WAS DOING? HE WAS PROPHESYING, "A WICKED AND
ADULTEROUS GENERATION."
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
135 Like in the days of Jesus, same thing. Watch Him standing
here now. He said, "As it was in the days of Jonas, in Jonah; for as
Jonah was in the belly of the whale, three days and nights, so must the Son of
man."
136 He said, "A wicked and
an adulterous generation will seek after a sign." Now you know what I
think He was doing? He was prophesying, "A
wicked and adulterous generation."
137 I wonder if any man in his right mind could deny that we are not living in a weak and an adulterous generation, when homosexuals, perversion! And the divorce rates in America is higher than any other nation in the world. And the whole world has gone into a chaos of it. Three out of every four, nearly, is divorced; around, taking the whole thing around in ten years of marriage. See? Think of it! Divorce, marry again and marry again, divorce and marry again. "They were eating, drinking, marrying wives and given in marriage." Look at the hour we're living in. When was it ever in such a chaos?
*... THERE HAS TO COME FORTH A--A--A
POWER, THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF, TO RIPEN, OR TO VINDICATE, OR TO PROVE, OR TO
MAKE MANIFESTED THAT WHAT HE'S PREDICTED WOULD HAPPEN IN THIS DAY.
RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.AND.ITS.MESSAGE_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0726M
52 See how perfectly the Scripture is! "A day that won't be called day or night." Fruit cannot ripen unless the sun ripens it. No matter how much you preach, whatever you do, it cannot be ripened, it cannot be manifested, it cannot be vindicated; only by Him Who said, "I am the Light of the world," the Word. So there has to come forth a--a--a Power, the Holy Spirit Himself, to ripen, or to vindicate, or to prove, or to make manifested that what He's predicted would happen in this day. The evening Light produces that. What a time!
*THERE IS ONLY ONE CAN SEE
IT; THAT'S THE ONE WHO IS PREDESTINATED TO SEE IT.
RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.AND.ITS.MESSAGE_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0726M
56 Now, the man comes forth, and the woman takes his name.
These blinded Gentiles who can't see that Name, "the Lord Jesus
Christ," in baptism! It's just too bad, but it has to be that way. The
Jews, they had to--they had to not see that. There
is only one can see it; that's the one who is predestinated to see it. Otherwise,
you'll never see it.
The Jews could not see
that being their Messiah. And, yet, they were scholars and theologians, man of
great renown scholarship, read the same Bible that you read. Now, after it's
been made known to us, we can see it plain, that was Messiah. But, they
couldn't see it, neither can they see it today. They are prophesied to be
blinded, too.
57 The church,
this day, is prophesied to be blinded, to reject the evening-time Message.
Revelations 3 said so, "Thou art wretched, miserable," notice the
bride's condition the other night, or the church, "naked, blind, and don't
know it." Lord Jesus, be merciful to us! The Bible said she was
"naked." I never saw it till just now. Laodicea church was naked. And
when she appeared the other night, she was "naked," never noticed it,
"and didn't know it."
58 Oh, how thankful! How, no wonder we are so grateful! I feel that we're not grateful enough for the things that God is making known to us.
*AFTER TWO THOUSAND YEARS, WE
STILL SEE JESUS CHRIST IN THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION...DOING THE THINGS THAT
HE DID THEN AND PROMISED TO DO.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
138 "A wicked and an adulterous generation will seek
after a sign, notice, and they will receive a sign." What? This
generation. "For as Jonah was in the belly of the whale, three days and
nights, the Son of man must be in the heart of the earth three days and
nights." What sign will that wicked and adulterous generation receive? The
sign of the resurrection.
139 And today, after two thousand years, we still see Jesus Christ in the power of His resurrection, standing among us, doing the things that He did then and promised to do. "A wicked and an adulterous generation will seek after a sign, always wanting to 'show me this, and if you can do this and do this.' They'll get it, the sign of the resurrection." He is the same yesterday, today, and forever; the Word made manifest, dwelling among us. How we should thank God for His great sign!
* THE LITTLE QUEEN'S HEART
BEGAN TO HUNGER TO GO UP AND FIND OUT ABOUT IT. SEE, SHE WAS ORDAINED TO LIFE.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
147 Well, "faith cometh by hearing." The little queen's heart began to hunger to go up and
find out about it. See, she was ordained to Life.
148 Notice now, the first thing to
do now, her being a pagan, she had to go get permission from her priest, to go.
So I can imagine see her go over to her priest, and say, "Holy father, I
hear they're having a great revival up there in--in Palestine. I'd like
permission to go up and see for myself."
149 "Now, my child, now you don't want to get mixed up in some... After all, we're not cooperating in that revival, so you--you cannot go. See, that's just a bunch of nonsense. There is--there is nothing to it. Them people claim they've come through a Red Sea, and they done all this, that. There is nothing to it. If there was anything like that happening, it would be right here in our church." We still got pagans.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
150 So we find out that she begin to hunger. She said,
"Now look," she said, "they tell me, that, 'Their God up there
is represented in a human being, and his wisdom is beyond anything. His
discernment is wonderful.'"
"Oh, there is nothing to that."
She said, "But I--I might..."
151 "Well, look, you're a queen, you can't be associated in a bunch of people like that. That's, you can't do that. That bunch of people, known all over the world as religious fanatics. You can't do that."
*...SHE'LL RISE IN THE DAY OF
JUDGMENT AND CONDEMN THIS GENERATION, 'CAUSE SHE REPENTED AND BELIEVED THE
MESSAGE THAT SOLOMON WAS PREACHING, AND BELIEVED ON GOD.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
168 Finally, let's say her prayer
card was called, which probably wasn't, but her time come to come before
Solomon. And the Bible said, that, "When
she come to stand before Solomon, that God let Solomon know all her secrets.
There was nothing hid." Then the miracle was done on her.
169 Then she turned to the audience,
and she said, "All these things that I have heard is true, and it's
even greater than I heard about." See? Oh, there
was no more life left in her, her breath was taken from her, 'cause here was a
man that didn't know her, a stranger, revealed the things that she wanted to
know.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
170 Oh, and Jesus standing there, which was more than
Solomon! He was the fullness of the Godhead bodily. He was the virgin-born Son of
God. He clothed upon Him, and Jehovah Himself
manifested in the flesh. And here He was standing there in the fullness,
and they said they wouldn't believe Him, a greater discernment. See, He was Solomon plus David, plus all the rest of them was
all in Him. All the prophets was wound up in Him, a greater than
Solomon.
171 And to even at that day, He
said, "If you speak them words against Me, I'll forgive you. But when the
Holy Ghost comes, it'll be greater than it is now, and more condemnation."
172 And here we stand today seeing that very same God do the very same thing! I believe she'll rise in the Day of Judgment and condemn this generation, 'cause she repented and believed the message that Solomon was preaching, and believed on God. She seen something real.

* AND THAT COULD BE THE RAPTURE.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
39
Now look. You
know, the--the Coming of the Lord is going to be a secret coming. He said,
"There will be two in the bed, and I'll take one and leave one,"
that's where the--the night is. "Two in the field, I'll take one and leave
one."
40
You know, there
is so many people disappear every day, off the face of the earth, that nobody
can account for. One of these days it might be that people might say,
"Well, you mean the tribulation, the thing is on us now? I thought the
Church was to go before the tribulation." They
don't realize and understand that the Rapture could take place and they would
know nothing about it; it's the secret going of the Church.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
41 And, think, people
will go right on preaching, saying they believe they're getting saved, and
adding in the church, and building churches, and going on just like they did in
the days of Noah, and so forth, and not know it; and the Rapture done past,
"it's already happened and you didn't know it." There is
hundreds of people disappear from the earth and people know nothing about where
they went to, they can't account for it; somebody was going somewhere, they
never hear from them no more. And that could be the
Rapture.
*YOU BETTER BUCKLE UP THAT
ARMOR. YOU BETTER TAKE THAT WHOLE WORD OF GOD AND HOLD ONTO IT, AND QUIT THIS
HOLLYWOOD ACTING AROUND HERE.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
42 I tell you, friends, just because that we are members of the church, or something like that, that doesn't mean too much to us. You better buckle up that armor. You better take that whole Word of God and hold onto It, and quit this Hollywood acting around here. It's got right into the church, and it's a shame. But Hollywood glows, just makes a bright light, and the church today is trying to compare with Hollywood. Christ is not in Hollywood. Christ is in the individual. Hollywood glow or... Hollywood glares, while the Gospel glows with humility. God ain't in these great fine fancy places and all this stuff that we see. He comes in in humility, in form of meekness and gentleness, pass right through.
*HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF
PROPERLY TO THE BELIEVERS THAT DAY, THEM WHO WERE LOOKING FOR IT.
THE.PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED_ TOPEKA.KS V-20 N-2 THURSDAY_ 64-0618
43 And if you're acquainted with the Word, you'll see
It. He that has an eye, to hear, "let him hear what the Spirit saith to
the churches," see
now, now today, which was identified.
44 He identified Himself properly to the believers
that day, them who were looking for it. Look at Peter and Andrew. Look at Nathanael, no question
in his mind. Look at the woman at the well, there was no question in it.
