“Let me go out on a limb a little bit and prophesy. I see the time
coming when all the holy men whose eyes have been opened
by the Holy Spirit will desert worldly Evangelicalism, one by
one. The house will be left desolate and there will not be a man
of God, a man in whom the Holy Spirit dwells, left among them…
I hear Jesus saying… Mat 23:37-38:
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and
stoning those who are sent to her, how often would I have
gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her
chicks under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your
house is left to you desolate.”
As the Church now stands, the man who sees this condition of
worldly evangelicalism is written off as somewhat fanatical.
But the day is coming when the house will be left desolate
and there will not be a man of God among them. I would like
to live long enough to watch this develop and see how things
turn out. I would like to live to see the time when the men and
woman of God – holy, separated and spiritually enlightened –
walk out of the evangelical church and form a group of their
own; when they get off the sinking ship and let her go down
in the brackish and worldliness and form a new ark to ride out the storm.”
