These things should happen first

Modern Events Are Made Clear By Prophecy

If the people in the days of the Lord Jesus would have only have sought God and knowed what was just about to take place, they would not have condemned Jesus to death. But the reason it was, because the Scriptures had to be fulfilled, because the Jews had to be blinded. We all are aware of that.
Do you realize that that's promised again in this very age that we're living? The Laodicean Church Age, this seventh church age that we're in now, is naked, miserable, blind, and don't know it. The same as He blinded them back there for the purpose of getting His Message through to the elected people, He's promised to do the same thing today.
And if I'd say this to respects, and to all my brethren and sisters in Christ, one of these days somebody's going to say, “Isn't it written that these things should happen first?”
And it'll be the same way it was then, “Verily, I say unto you, he's already come, and they had did what they listed to him.”

Daily Bread John 5:39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
