The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1919-02-01


tate organizations, you would bring your wife,
your little ones and all that you have to Zion.
You would be like Noses when he and Aaron
went to Pharaoh and said: Let my people CO.,
They would not give up until Pharaoh let all
the people got their wives their little ones, their
cattle, sheep, horses and all they possessed
Some of you hear the call of God, but you do
not pay any attention to others. You are making
no effort to get them out of Egypt and into the
promised land. Some forget all about their wives
and their little ones.
The Bible saws. if any wife will learn let her
ask her husband.
"And if they will learn anything, let them ask
their husbands at home."-I Corinthians II 50
Manv of the husbands do not know anything
and thew are not in the habit of teaching their
wives and families. God pity some wives who
have to depend on their husbands theology, and
the children who have to depend on some father 5
teaching in the home If they did, they would
never know anything.
Some men are more interested in their pos
sessions and they haven't the time to teach their
wives and children God knows they have time
to talk about the price of cattle and real estate
but thew have no time to read the Bible and pray
with their families.
The Chapter, out of which I have taken this
text. nstructs us to obey them that have the rule
over us in the Lord. No doubt there are some
little boys and girls in Zion who have never been
taught in their homes to respect the General
Overseer, the apostles and the officers in the
Church That is the reason why some. OF your
bows and girls are going to the devil and that is
the reason the General Overseer sheds many
tears.
AS sure as there is God in Heaven, you will
have to answer for it and you are going to lose
your reward as faithful husband and father.
What an opportunity we have in Zion of being
taught the truths concerning Jesus the Christ
His virgin birth, His marvellous life and min
istry and His self-sacrihcing death on the cross.
In Zion literature, you will find out all about
Jesus the Christ and Him crucihed and His
priestly office as Advocate with the Father.
Jesus Christ is the Christians Advocate and
our High Priest. He is the Christians Inter
cessor He is the one appointed by God to
appear in the presence of God for us.
From this platform and in Zion literature, you
can learn as you cannot learn from any other
literature or pulpit, teaching on the Second Com
ing of Jesus the Christ for His saints. You will
learn the plain truths concerning the great Mill
ennial Reign and beyond the Millennium as far
as the Word of God reveals. You hear the full
Gospel and full teaching as you cannot hear it in
any other organization. You have an opportu-
nifty to apprehend Gods Word
am not surprised that people have said, The
Bible is new book to me since coming into Zion.
am not surprised that the General Overseer says
that we have not the same Bible that the churches
have.
lions God and lions Bible are real positive,
full and Complete; the message is clear and plain
from lions platform and lions literature No
one can stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ
and say, eff you had taught the Bible palmer,
I would have known better how to live"
A little while longer and Jesus will come and
take us all to Him.
In the lives of these officers, appear the fruits
of regeneration and conservation.
I have blessed and thanked God thousands of
times, since I have been in Zion, for the real
genuine fellowship have had with the brethren.
1t has been food to my hungry spirit.
AS officers in the church, we will do our best
to help the General Overseer to raise the sixty
five thousand dollars for payment on this estate
on the first of March What an opportunity for
each one of you to help whether it be with money
Liberty Bonds, or anything that you have!
If had money, would invest it in Zion, but
that is what I cannot do. I told the General
Overseer two years ago when I came here, Il
haven't any money, but have body, life, and
a heart that loves God and, if you can take me
just as am and get anything out of me for God
and Zion, you are welcome to me-" He said
Come on, | have place for YOU.
The General Overseer did not make me any
promises, but I walked in absolute obedience |
got vision in that Feast of Tabernacles and I
have chung to it. Before [ went back to my
home, had received the Right Hand of Fellow
ship. I came to Zion and God has been marvel
ously good to me and mine.
Read Our testimony in the Leaves of Healing,
Volume 43, No. 3. We told you of how many
times God has stretched out His hand and raised
up one child after another. Time after time the
Lord tested us out; but never had doubt,
