Is it too late for jail services and such work for a testimony to try to save souls? Also should one sell all they have now, the Lord is coming so soon?
200 Well, how–how do you...I hope I haven’t said anything that would cause you to believe such as that. Have I? If I have, forgive me! I don’t mean...See? Don’t just presume those things. Keep right on going, preaching, having jail service, getting everybody, and don’t...
201 Looky here. The Seventh Day Adventists here not long ago, about fifty or sixty years ago, I seen it in the Courier-Journal paper (I got it somewhere in a trunk), a great big piece of Courier-Journal paper, where they throwed the old wings out, where when they was called Millerites before they become Seventh Day Adventists. And they had a whole big sheet in the Courier paper up here at Franklin, Kentucky, when they all sold their property and got...They set a certain date, proved it by the Scripture–Jesus was coming on that date–and went up there and got their harps and things, and set upon top the hill. The next morning come down, the dew had took all the feathers down, and they come down deflated. See? It’s cults and things.
202 Don’t you believe that. Jesus might not come for a hundred years yet. I don’t know when He’s coming. No man knows when He’s coming! But I’m going to try to keep on preaching and doing everything I can till He does come. If He isn’t here today, I’ll be looking for Him tomorrow. If He isn’t here to–this week, I’ll be looking for Him next week. If He isn’t here in the next ten years, and I live, I’ll be looking for Him the next thirty years. See? I’ll still be looking. I don’t know when He’s coming, but I want to live true to His Word and true to His people, and live like a Christian, and wait for His coming. See?
203 Keep on preaching jail services, getting everybody saved you can. I don’t know when He’s coming; nobody does. But I’ll say this one thing. This is what I’m trying to tell you, and I hope you don’t try to put your own interpretation...Not bawling this person out. God bless you Brother, Sister, whoever you are. It looked like it was somebody from out of town, ’cause it was on a–on a postcard, I think, from Denver, Colorado, and...Yeah, Pike’s Peak, Colorado. So it might have been somebody sent it in by mail, but that–that’s perfectly all right. They might get the tape.
204 But let’s remember, don’t you change anything, only your ways from sin to righteousness. Just keep right on at your job, going right on just the same. All that understand that clearly say, “Amen!” [Congregation replies “Amen!”–Ed.] See? Do that now!
