“Look around. The people are already starting to come.”
TEXT:
Chapter 18, Page 183 –
Yes, just as the animals came to Noah, the Invisible Remnant are already coming. Haven’t you seen them in your church? Some of them come to your Revelation Seminars. Some of them come to your health programs. Some come to your Community Services. And some come to your church on Sabbath morning in larger and larger numbers.
Look at Matthew 25:35, 36 for a description of them: “for I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.”
Can you see them coming?
– They are hungry for the Word
– They are thirsty for a better life
– They are strangers to acceptance
– They are naked and exposed to the ravages of this world
– They are sick and tired of their empty, sinful lives
– They are imprisoned by the bonds of their life choices and the temptations of the devil.
And the King says: “When you did it unto one of the least of these, my brothers, you did it unto Me . . .” – deliberately, radically, compassionately.
Come stand with me – up here on the hill – where we have deliberately and radically and compassionately placed our church, our Ark. Look around. The people are already starting to come. The storm clouds are already gathering. The lightning is already flashing and the thunder is already speaking to us.
Yes, some who helped us to build this Ark for the Time of the End will be some of the worst at mocking and laughing. But the crowd will stop denying our message, they will stop laughing at our lifestyle, they will be startled into silence – when they see so many coming, and when the rain begins to fall.
