People are running to-and-fro seeking whatever they may seek. Most anybody can get a following. No matter what they teach or think, somebody will listen to them. And it's a day that the prophets spoke of. People, when they're hungry, they'll eat from anywhere I think real true ministers of the Gospel ought to be up and going, ought to be giving the people the right things: meat in due season. 47-0412

HOSEA 4:6-7 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: (discernment, understanding) because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

We've had this several times, these preludes. And we find that each time when it meets this condition, it causes people to start praying. And they feel that everything has played itself out, as all of our systems and everything that we have, play itself to the end. It did that in the antediluvian world... Politics and other things just comes to its end, there is no more to it. I think all that's done by God, for a purpose, to kind of rejuvenate, to kind of bring back. It has a way of renewing itself. And I think it's just a law of God, that these things comes to that place.

The whole systems had become corrupted. They had mingled, injecting man-made theories, religions... And the world was falling apart God gave them a Messiah, they didn't want it the way He sent it. 64 And I wonder today, in our chaotic time as we approach Christmas, we find the world about in the same condition; morally decayed, politics, religious life, denominationalism is decayed, everything corrupted. And all of us are looking for something to help us out of it. All of us are expecting a messiah. I wonder, if God sent us the Messiah, if we wouldn't just about do the same thing they done in the past. We wouldn't know Him, Who He was. 63-1115

And then when we seen those things happen, women becoming fair, and sons of God taking them, and how these things would be, then we know that that generation would see the Coming of the Lord. Then, we know the flashing light, His coming is near. 63-0623

Signs in the heavens above, fearful sights, flying saucers; the Pentagon looks at them, don't know what they are. All kinds of signs: sea a roaring, waves, perplex of time, distress between the nations, all these things, earthquakes in divers places, man running to and fro, knowledge increasing, all these other things that He said, great turmoil. How that Christ would be put out of His church in the last days, in the Laodicea Age, we've got it. All these things are God-speaking signs. 64-0214

And if none of you has ever got the tape that I spoke at Middletown, OH, week ago, on Jezebel and Ahab, I wish you would listen to it sometime. And how that the nation, because of greed, they have absolutely sold out Christ just as much as Judas 2000 yrs. ago for 30 pieces of silver. Oh, it's a tremendous thing to think that the condition that exists amongst this nation and these peoples today... To think that many years ago, they would have never done a thing like that. But today they're so greedy, trying to get more money. 61-0402

Last year, Oxfam reported that the worlds 85 richest people have the same wealth as the poorest 50 percent (3.5 billion people). This year, Oxfam said the reality has become even more worrisome, with just 80 people owning the same amount of wealth as more than 3.5 billion people.

The charity said the wealth of the super- richest 80 people doubled between 2009 and 2014, and that increasingly the wealth was being used by the rich to further their own interests, usually by lobbying efforts in government.
