[audience: "Subterranean Blues!" “Rock-n-roll!”] Turn the light on out there. You know when John the Baptist saw Jesus coming up the road, he said, “Behold! The Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.” Did you know that? That’s right, that’s what he said. Now don’t be affected by, by the, uh, in San Francisco, we opened there, I’d say about a month ago, about three or four people walked out because they, they didn’t like the message, you know. But . . . we’re still here now. Don’t you walk out before you hear the message, you know? Anyway, he said, “The Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.” I wonder how many of you know what it’s like? It’s like the Shah of Iran. He’s been out of the hospital now. Who knows what he’s doing there out of the hospital. He’s walking around, looking out the window. Meantime 50 people, 50 or 60 American hostages are being held somewhere out in the desert. This man plundered the country, murdered a lot of people and escaped. Now they want him to come back. Now, here’s what Jesus would have done. Jesus would have gone back. See, that’s what Jesus did. He went back and took all the hostages back. Now, of course, we’re not expecting the Shah of Iran to do anything like that. Of course, he’s just human. That’s right, he is! Anyway, we’re gonna start off this song here. It’s called “Slow Train Coming.” It’s been coming a long time -- yeah it is.

All right. Now don’t be dismayed by what you read in the newspapers about what’s happening to the world. Because, now, the world as we know it now is being destroyed. I’m sorry to say it, but it’s . . . it’s the truth. In the matter of a short time -- I don’t know, maybe in three years, maybe five years, could be ten years, I don’t know – there’s gonna be a war. It’s gonna be called the war of Armageddon. It’s gonna happen in the Middle East. Russia’s gonna come down and attack first and you watch for that sign. Anyway, we’re not worried about that. We know there’s gonna be a new kingdom set up in Jerusalem for a thousand years. And that’s where Jesus will set up his kingdom, as sure as you’re standing there, it’s gonna happen. So this is called, “Hanging On To A Solid Rock Made Before The Foundation Of The World.”
