Transformating Light

(Singing) I notice a little note here. A lady from Alina, Georgia has cancer. She requests a prayer cloth. She says that she believes that God can heal her. Her name is Eula Mae. Her mother has received tapes and literature. Let's remember that. If somebody wants to serve the Lord and love the Lord and they're making a genuine effort to do something then let's do what we can to help them and encourage them and pray for them. That's a terrible thing to have cancer and there is very little that the medical world can do, in a lot of cases, when it comes to cancer. But God has the answer, and it's so easy for God just to reach down and touch it and that's the end of it. Just kill the germ and that's all there is to it. You can cast the infirm spirit out by the Word of God then God will just touch that thing and it will just heal right up. You know, God has so made the human body to where it will automatically heal up if you'll just move__ You know, if you get a splinter in your finger and as long as that splinter is there to irritate that thing won't heal up, but if you'll get that splinter out that thing will heal up. And it's the same way with an infirm spirit. An infirm spirit attacks the body, as long as that infirm spirit is in there, it's irritating that thing, it's aggravating. It's a parasite and it isn't going to heal up. But now if you cast that infirm spirit out of there the body will just automatically start functioning. Everything will purify itself and it will heal up. Like water. You drop something in water up here and it contaminates; it runs over the rock down through the sand and just a few feet down the river, or the stream and you can drink the water because it's purified. So let's pray for the woman and ask God to do something for her. Let's sing another song while we're standing. Let's turn to 201. And that reminds me, I forgot to pray over this oil. Two o one in your little blue hymnal and let's sing together. I'm glad to be back tonight. Cold. I don't know how cold. We get so many different reports until I'm afraid to say which one is right. Somebody told me it was ten below. Somebody told me it was seven below, and somebody said it was fifty below, or going to get down to fifty below. And I don't know. That's bad. But whatever it is I think it's below. From what I can tell the chill factor is below. So it must be pretty cold. It's cold enough I put on my Alaska coat. I notice Larry has on his Alaska coat, so it must be pretty cold. But anyway it's chilly. It's real cold outside. Death is luring in the shadows tonight. You could freeze to death. So easy for you to freeze to death tonight because that chill factor is down to where it wouldn't take much and you'd be found along the roadside dead. It might not be a bad idea if some of our fellows kind of patrol around a little bit tonight. We have done that in the past when the weather was real severe. You might find a stranger, or a straggler out somewhere that it might be that you save his life because freak things take place and you never know what's going to happen. You can't ever tell. It might be that you become a savior to somebody. I'm thankful to be here tonight. Thankful for those that come out to be with us when it's cold. As I said this morning, if people still come to the house of God it indicates that they must have something in their heart. You know, I was just thinking today and, of course, I mentioned this to some folks in my speaking. We really need to live for God, folks. We really need to give our hearts and our lives to the full cause of the Lord Jesus Christ. We don't need to partially surrender our lives and hearts, but we need to give our entire attention, our desire, our ambition, our drive to the Lord Jesus Christ. That should be our full determination, is to glorify Christ. I made the statement today, a lot of people don't want to serve God. They want to go to heaven and their planning to go to heaven. And you talk to them. They're in and out of the church. You talk to them and they have plans to go to heaven. They're trying to figure the thing out so that they can go to heaven. They want to be a Christian to the extent that they want to go to heaven. And they're planning, somehow or the other to get in. But, see? There is a difference between real genuine sons of God. A son of God he doesn't just want to get to heaven. He wants to do the will of the Father, and he wants to help somebody else get into the Kingdom. And he wants to labor and he wants to give of his life, and give of his time, to God that he might enter into the Kingdom of God. Let me ask a question? Are the boys up__ There was a whole group of boys downstairs when I was down there a little bit ago. John, are they upstairs or still downstairs? Where is Brother Jerry. Floyd, check and see if they're upstairs. Anybody that doesn't want to come upstairs tell them to please, Floyd. We don't need them in the building if they're not coming here for the sake of Christ. The Bible said if you give place to any of them they'll be a prick in your side. So if they're not coming for the service, or to hear God, or hear the Word of the Lord they don't need to be here. They need to go wherever they need to go. But, anyway, as I said, there are people that really want the benefits of Christ and they want to go to heaven, and they plan to make a change, but those are not real sons of God. Those are not real daughters of God. Real sons and daughters of God they are not just interested in going to heaven, but they want to give of their life to God. They don't want to wait until the get old and can't do anything and then by chance make it in. Real true sons and daughters of God, they're not trying to get by with everything they can, get all the world they can and fill up on the world, and just skimpy about, coming to church just enough to hold on to where God won't cut them off. They're not doing that. I've got people here at Bethlehem, and have people that come in and out. If they come to church on Sunday morning you don't see them on Sunday night. Or they come to church one time through the week and you don't see them another time through the week. You know, it's just kind of a skimpy sort of a thing. But, see? It is that they do not intend to do anything for God. They don't have any vision to do anything for God. They're not coming to church to try to do anything for God, or to develop their mind so that they can be something for God. You know, it's like a person in school. You make a child go to school and there are children that they go all the way through school, but they could care less about school. They don't have any real desire to go to school. And they're not trying to go to school to be anything. You know, they just want to get through school and get out of it and the quicker the better. But they feel they have to have an education to survive. And then there are people that go to school and get more schooling, and they get more schooling, and they go to college because they want to be a doctor, they want to be a dentist, they want to be somebody that will help other people all through life. Of course, in most cases it's for money. Very rare that they would do it other than for money. But there are a few people that have callings in those fields that actually do it because they feel a calling and they have a desire. Some nurses have a desire to give their lives as a service unto others. But everybody isn't called to be a nurse. So then, everybody isn't called to be a son of God. I want to do something for God. It has been my desire since I came to know Jesus. For numbers of years it has been my desire to try to do something for God, to be something for God. To help others find Christ. And to give my life, even as Jesus gave His life, that I might give my life as a service, a living sacrifice unto God as a service that I may help show others the way. And that I may help them find the way. It is my desire to go into all the world and tell people about this wonderful, wonderful light of life that I have discovered. To take them out of their complex of life and out of their fears and bewilderments of life, and help them to find wholesome living. And help them to understand that there is somebody that cares for them. Now, this is my desire and I believe that this is the desire of every true child of God, every son and daughter of God this is their desire. They want to do something for God. So then, let us do something for God and let us not be as a straggler, or somebody just getting by, or hoping to make it in, because that is not the right attitude, folks, just somebody that's just planning to try to get to heaven and that's all that it means to them. That's not the right attitude. You know, it's not the right attitude to go through life, like for tonight it's not right for you to have heat and somebody else to be freezing to death and you could care less about it. It's not right for you to have food and those children over yonder starving to death and you could care less about it. That's not right, see? That's the wrong attitude to go through life trying to figure out how you're going to survive and whether or not your going to have heat. And whether or not you're going to have a wholesome life. It doesn't matter. It's little to you, as to what the other man drives, whether it's a good automobile or whether it isn't. It matters little as to what he wears, so far as clothing. See? This isn't the right attitude in life. The right attitude is to try to make it through life, and while you're going through life if there is anybody else that needs any help then share with them. Try to help them. Try to have enough, you know, to help them. A lot of people they don't care about helping anybody. If they can just make enough to get by and feed their family and pay their bills they could care less about other folks, but the Bible said labor that you might have to give, that you might help other people. This is the only way that you have the proof of Christ in you and even just being a reasonable kind of person through life. We ought to want to have enough to help somebody else, or try to attain unto enough to help somebody else. And then when we get it not be gullible and greedy, to lay it back and say this is for a rainy day and I'm going to lay it back and I'm going to carry a few hundred around in my pocketbook, you know, and I'm going to have a few hundred in the bank because just in case__ You know, just in case you want to lounge around. Just in case you don't want to work. Just in case you don't want to do anything else, you know. Do you understand what I'm saying? Just in case that you don't want to work, that is. So we need to be the kind of people that as long as we have a dollar that we'll share it with somebody, trusting God to give us another dollar. Don't lay up things in the earth. The Bible said don't lay up treasures in the earth where thieves break through and steal and moth corrupts, for wherever your treasure is your heart will be there. Somebody would say, Well, Brother Pike, there is one thing about it. I'm not going to worry about the thieves. There's no body coming through my door. I've got a shotgun. I know how to handle it. I tell you what, thieves are coming in and out your windows and doors all the time. Satan is a thief and a robber. Demons and devils are thieves and that thief will say, Run down to the milk shake place and get you an extra milk shake. Say, Well, I just had some good pie but, said, You could use a milk shake. And that thief will slip right in and take that dollar away from a hungry child and before you know it you've made your belly your god and you've done spent that money on your belly and that thief got it. That thief will say, Your car is not good enough; why don't you trade and get you another car. You need a better car. And that thief will steal a few thousand dollars from you just like that before you know it. And when you come to your senses you'll say, Dear God, what have I done? I was well off and didn't know it. And on and on it goes, folks. He'll steal it for your children. He'll steal it for your fleshly desire because he savors the things that be of the flesh. Lay up your treasures in Heaven where thieves don't break through and steal, where moth doesn't corrupt, for where your treasure is there your heart will be also. I don't know how I got on that subject. But, anyway, we need to live right, folks. It's cold. People need help, we need to share and if you're sharing and if you're giving and if you're helping the others then if God gives you something that's not something a thief caused you to get a hold of, in the sense of stealing from you, but that's something that God added to you. And the Bible said, in seeking the Kingdom of God all these other things will be added unto you and you'll be able to enjoy that thing. You'll just enjoy that. God will give you the greatest kind of enjoyment, but if it's the old thief that's stealing from you that'll be a weight to you and it will be a like a golden wedge in your family and a thorn in your side. So, as I said, it's real sons and daughters of God that want to perfect their life and be of service to God and not just skimpy by so they can make it in. Let's stand together and turn to one hundred and sixty-five. I'm still a little hoarse but let's see if we can sing a little chorus. I don't see Brother Lane tonight so I suppose he went back home, he and his family. I see Brother White is still here with us tonight. He and his family, there are still here. I trust that they've got heat. I ask Brother Jerry to be sure and check on them and see that they had heat in that they had just come in and coming into the area it would be good if we could kind of check around and make sure that they've got food and that they're comfortable, to give them a chance to kind of get their footing to where they can make proper provisions for themselves. Let's sing this song together, can we? (Singing) Okay, back again to where we were this morning, chapter eight. (Revelation, chapter eight) "When he had opened the seventh seal there was silence in heaven for the space of about a half hour." You're reminded again that the angel comes forth, and as he comes forth he takes the censor. Having a golden censor, he takes this golden censor and he approaches the throne. It's filled with the prayers of the saints. The prayers of the saints are bottled up. Every prayer that I ever prayed is bottled up. Every prayer that you ever prayed is bottled up and what God does, here at this particular moment he takes and he opens those prayers and they come up into his ears. He brings them back to his listening and He has what we call incense. This incense represents the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ and these prayers are released with this wonderful smell that comes up from the censor. So then, our prayers are accompanied by the Holy Ghost. Our prayers go up before God and they are accompanied by the Holy Ghost, and when they go up before God then God hears our cry and immediately God determines the judgment, or as to what He will do to the people by what has happened to the saints. Now, this morning we brought out some things on that, as to the saints judging the world and in what way they would judge the world. And concerning the books. So then, it is at this time when the seventh seal is opened that this incense is mixed with the prayers of the saints and the prayers of the saints are released and they go up into the ears of God. And immediately, the Bible says, when this angel stands at the altar, having the golden censor, that he takes the incense, he offers it with the prayers of the saints and the Bible says, and the smoke of the incense came with the prayers of the saints. And then the angel took the censor. After that he had released the incense he took the censor, and the Bible said he filled it with fire of the altar and cast it in the earth; there was voices, thunderings, lightning and an earthquake. He filled it with the fire of the altar. The fire of the altar indicates the wrath and indignation of God. It was the practice of the high priest when he went into the holies of holies, or into the place to where the covering cherubs was, he always took the censor. He always took the sweet smelling incense, this perfume that all of Israel was forbidden to make any like. It was said unto them that if they made any like it they would be cut off from the tribe, because it was typical of Christ and Christ's Spirit. You remember Aaron's sons offered up something that displeased God and the Bible said God being upset with them that He slew them right there, because they offered strange fire before God. This is something that we need to remember when you shout, when you dance, when you prophesy, when you say the Lord saith when God has not spoken, when you try to prove that something is the Spirit of God when it isn't the Spirit of God, God killed those people because they offered strange fire on the altar. Remember the altar of God is our heart and we have to be careful what we offer on the altars of God if we want God to favor us and not destroy us. So it said, And the angel took the censor and filled it with fire of the altar and cast it into the earth and there was voices and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake. Okay, I said the other day that what this has to do with when we say thunderings__ Now, let's just review this just for a few minutes. I can preach to you, or I can instruct you and talk with you a little bit. Paul said, I am a preacher and a teacher. Let's look at this just a little bit. I say that this is the bombs that will be released. The blasting of the bombs will be the thundering that is heard right here. The thundering of those bombs as they burst, and as things are blown to bits, that is the thundering that is heard. The lightnings? There is thunderings and lightning. The lightning is the flashing of those bombs when they burst and that great slash of light, and those flashes of light everywhere, and things blowing up everywhere, this is the lightning that is seen here. The Bible said, and there was an earthquake, and the earthquake here is that when these bombs bursts everything goes into a tremor and everything just rocks and reels. And it said, and there were voices. These voices here are voices that are screaming out where people are being blown to bits and loved ones are being torn apart, and the horrible nightmare of war and trouble. There are voices screaming. Over here a little farther, or down a little farther, that is, it goes on to say that when he threw this censor into the earth then all of this began to happen. And what is this? This is what he was speaking of over in Revelation seven. Notice this. (Revelation seven, verse one) "And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the winds should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (2) And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God, and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, (3) Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. (4) And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel." (skips to verse nine) "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white roves, and palms in their hands;" Okay, now. It is said here, (chapter eight, verse six) "And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. (7) The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up." It goes on the say, (8) And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; (9) And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed." See? The destroying of the ships indicates war. "(10) And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; (11) And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. (12) And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. (13) And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!" Okay, let's stop right there now. This morning I read all the way from the eighth chapter over to about the fourteenth chapter so you could have a continuity. Okay, now. Let's look at this for just a moment. It says here that there was hail mingled with blood. When this first angel sounded there followed hail and fire mingled with blood. The hail here is the shrapnel and that which is blown to bits, where everything is blown to bits. When this censor is thrown into the earth those four winds that he speaks of in Revelation seven, they are released. And this is the powers of war and they come together fighting for conquest of the earth. The same vision that Daniel saw when the Bible says that it was to be sealed up. It's the same vision where Daniel saw the waters, or the winds wrestling over the waters. Here it was sealed up until the end time, but now here it is with John and it's not sealed up; it is revealed. It is made the revelation, or the unveiling of Jesus Christ. So then, it says here that this was fire, hail mingled with blood. That is when the angel threw the censor into the earth things were blown to bits. Things were blown up into the air, shrapnel. That is, it was blown up and it rained back down upon the people as it was just blown to bits. And the mingling of the blood was that people were blown to bits with it and the blood was interwoven and mingled with the shrapnel and the hail as it went up and as it was rained back down. And the fire (Begin tape one, side two.) ...that fire that is caused by the bursting of bombs when everything begins to blaze and the fire that is released, or the fury of the bombs that are released. And then it said, And there was voices. There was voices, thundering and lightning and an earthquake. These voices, as I said, were people screaming, being torn to bits. People were dying, a horrible thing, the angel had thrown the censor into the earth and in throwing the censor into the earth then those four winds were released. But that doesn't happen until the seventh seal is opened. When the seventh seal is opened then comes the judgment. Now, this is something we need to remember, that seven seals are opened. But only when the seventh seal is opened that these winds are released. They are not released at any other time. Though you open the first seal, though you open the second seal, the third, right on down to the sixth it still does not show these powers released because these powers are not released until Christ comes for the church. It is when Christ takes the church out of the world that these powers will be released and these things will happen. But it will not happen as long as the church is in the earth. I know you might not believe that, and I know different ones might not believe that, but remember the Bible says that the very day that Lot went out of Sodom and Gomorrah fire and brimstone was rained down from heaven. It is not until Lot goes out of Sodom and Gomorrah that the fire and the brimstone comes down upon the earth. So then, it is in the sixth chapter, the opening of the sixth seal that the heavens rolled back as a scroll. And when it rolls back, the Bible says that the sign of the Son of Man appears in heaven. The stars fall from heaven as a fig tree shaketh its untimely figs when it's blown, or shaken by the wind. So then, as I brought out a few nights ago has to do with the Jews. It has to do with Calvary. A lot we would have to say to go into that. We would have to go into Revelation and bring out an awful lot. But you can see right here that there is a hundred and forty-four thousand that are sealed. This same hundred and forty-four thousand, if you'll notice as you read on a little farther, it says that, chapter nine, that the scorpions are released in to the earth. In the fourth verse, And he commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. Now look at that. See? One hundred and forty-four thousand. In Revelation seven, it says here that they're not to hurt anything. That is, the trees, nor the sea, nor the earth, not any thing, until the hundred and forty-four thousand is sealed. Then when they are sealed, it says here that it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. So again they're told in the ninth chapter not to hurt anything on the earth just the ones that are not sealed. They are to torment them for five months and the torment is to be as the sting of a scorpion. Now who are these that are sealed? The same ones that we read of in Revelation seven. It is the very same ones that He just sealed, the hundred and forty-four thousand. He just has sealed them in their foreheads so he said, Don't hurt these that are sealed. Don't hurt anything until we seal these. Don't let those winds blow on the earth until these are sealed and once these are sealed don't let them hurt these that are sealed in their foreheads. So then we see here that this is the same hundred and forty-four thousand and then when we go over to the fourteenth chapter of the book of Revelation to find out who these are that were sealed, and to find out how there were sealed, as to what the seal was. It's made real plain. "(1) And I looked, and, lo, a lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads." So then, they were sealed in their foreheads with the name of their father, which means that in Revelation seven this is the hour where the days of the Gentiles are over. And it means in Revelation seven that it is the end of the times of the Gentiles. And it means that it is the coming in of the Jews. And as the Jews come in they accept the name of Jesus, and the accept the Lord Jesus as their Messiah. They receive His name in their minds. We serve God with the mind, and they receive His name as Messiah in their minds, and that name is a seal to them in their minds that they belong to God. It's a seal in their foreheads. They take the name of their Father into the forehead. Jesus said, I come in my Father's name. So they're sealed with the name of the Father. They take it into their minds and they serve that name with their minds and submit their mind unto that name. This is what the Bible means when it says a nation shall be born in one day. So, in Revelation seven we see that it is the coming of the Lord. It is the sixth seal, and when the sixth seal is opened it is nothing less than the coming of the Lord. In the sixth chapter all of the seals are opened except one and that one is not opened until the eighth chapter. So we see from the sixth chapter as they open the things that happened in the seals until we reach Revelation eight, and then the last seal, we find out what happens when it is opened. So then, it is a true fact that in Revelation six it says, "(12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (13) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. (15) And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every fee man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; (16) And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: (17) For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" Now, Brethren, I know that it might be a little bit hard for you to make the comparison, but if you'll look back that positively is Calvary. See? The great day of his wrath was Calvary. Though it is not brought forth as to execute judgment, yet it was the wrath of God, and it was the time that God either received us or God cut us off. It was at Calvary that this happened. And the shaking of the fig tree, the stars falling from heaven, that means that the Jews went out of the presence of God. Now, I want you to think on this now. The Jews were in heaven. These Jews were in heaven. There is first heaven, there is second heaven and there is third heaven and these Jews were in the first heaven. God had been with them in the earth and God had been in their midst. God had made it heaven for them. God had given them the Canaan Land. God had given them a great victory. They ruled over the earth. It was a first heaven so they were in this heaven. They were in the presence, and to be in the presence of God is heaven. So then, they were in the presence of God and they were in heaven. But all of a sudden when Calvary came they went out of the presence of God. They went out of heaven. That fig tree was shaken, as we say, and those stars began to fall from heaven. Why did God do that? Because God was giving us a portrayal of Revelation 12, because Revelation 12 where the man child goes up and the dragon is cast out. He wraps his tail around a third part of the stars, he casts them into the earth. God was giving unto you and I a symbolic thing to let us know what he was doing. Now, you say, Brother Pike, why would He do that? Because God wants to tutor us in all things, and we have an unction from the Holy One that we should know all things. And since Lucifer is a spirit, and since angelic beings are spirits. That is demons are spirits, fallen angels. There is no way I can see what Lucifer is doing. I cannot see Lucifer. I cannot see fallen angles. Therefore for God to tutor me He has to give me some symbolic thing. He has to show me some natural thing, some physical thing to where I can see what is happening in the spiritual world, although I can't see it. So then, how can He reveal to me, as a natural individual, things that are spiritual, or things that are in heaven? See? unless He gives me some symbolic thing. And if if I have the symbol I still can't see it unless I get in the spirit of Revelation. That's why the Bible said pray that God will grant unto you the spirit of Revelation that you might enter into the mysteries of God. So I still can't see it unless God will quicken the thing to me, overshadow me with his spirit, and open my mind and make me compare spiritual things with spiritual. I still don't know what is happening unless God does that. So then, when we see that we know that God gave us a symbol of it. He made His own son Lucifer in His sight. He made Him sin. He made Him Lucifer and He made all the following of Jesus demons and devils in His sight, as to the Jewish people, to show that Satan savors the things that be of the flesh. And He that knew no sin, even the lovely Son of God, was made in the eyes of God Lucifer to where God could smite him with all of His wrath. That is to say he was made the first man Adam unto death to fold up the law and to lay it away in that Jesus was perfect. He lived perfect. He kept every jot and tittle of the law, but in that the Bible said no flesh shall be justified by the law, then God smote Jesus by making Jesus the first man Adam. In Adam all die and being the image of the bastard child, being accused of being a bastard child God let the Christ on the inside lead that image to Calvary. And made that image in the image of man, in the likeness of man, and He let the Christ on the inside lead that image to Calvary. He lives in that image. He conquered the image of sin. He took it to Calvary, hung it there on Calvary, and then the Christ backed off and smote it with all of His wrath. So then, the Bible said Jesus made in Himself twain and the veil was rent in twain. He made in Himself two, and the veil was rent in two and the Christ went this way and the Jesus went this way. It was the separation of the body of this death from the spirit. I spoke this morning concerning the body of this death. It was the separation. It was the rending of the veil. It was the taking away of the body of this death, putting it away, burying that, putting it down into the earth. Sending it down into the chambers of hell. He put that body right through the fire so that Christ that came out, that life that came out could enter into another body even into that, as they said when He resurrected from the dead. They said, And He appeared in another form. That is to say, God had processed the garment. God had moved out the infiltration. God had changed the image from the earthly sensual image that would be made like unto sin, and changed the image in to the glorious liberty of the Son of God, or the great wonderful image in which God made man to begin with back yonder in the garden. That image that was lost when they took on the image of Lucifer, or the image of death by the intellectual infiltration of another nature. So then, whatever the nature is that's what the image is. If it is the nature of a lion it will produce a lion. There they took on the nature of Lucifer so the image became a beastly nature, or an animal nature and it produced an animal image, and God smote it because it was not His image. He said, And in the morning I will despise your image, and Calvary was the morning. The Bible said until the Daystar dawn within you heart, and it was the morning, for the morning and the evening was the first day and that was the beginning of the first day because He said, This is the beginning of the creation of God. And so then, in the morning when the light came and the darkness moved then God smote the image because it was a bastard child image, and from that He created His own image, which was the lovely image of the Son of God. So then, death is gone and the body of this death is folded up and laid away, and that tree was cut down. Jesus hang upon the tree. John laid the axe to the root of the tree and that tree was cut down. And as I said in the past, every individual from that Calvary, from that tree, all the way back to the garden was considered a generation of vipers. John said, Ye generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath of God to come. Bring forth some fruit that are meet for repentance, and say not to yourself that you have the Son of God, that you have God unto your Father, for God is able of these stones, Jesus said. And John referred to it. God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Himself. So then, we see that the tree was cut down, which was Calvary. It was cut down. It was laid away. Cursed is everyone that hangeth upon a tree. And Jesus being made a curse for us took us out from under the curse, for the Bible said at the fall in the garden it was the curse. Cursed is the ground for My sake. It will bring forth briars and thistles and thorns and you'll labor among those thistles and thorns to have your bread. Naturally people labor among the thorns and the thistles, and physically people have physical conflicts and they labor among the thorns and the thistles. And spiritually people have spiritual conflicts of demons and devils, and thoughts of interference, and they labor among the thistle and the thorns that they might have bread. That is spiritual bread. So then, John said, a generation of vipers. And from there all the way back it was darkness. It was night, and that was the night, for the evening and the morning was the first day. And so then, when the Daystar came up at Calvary, all of a sudden, Christ enter into our heart. The great Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, entered into our heart and as He came back at Pentecost to enter into our heart then all of a sudden the light of God shined within our heart, and the Daystar made Himself known to us. Even as Paul expressed it, enlightening our understanding and bringing us into the wonderful world of light. Here looking at the sixth seal, we see that when it is open the heavens roll back, which means that Christ had rent his own vesture. I spoke of it this morning, the scales that were on Paul's eyes. Or the vesture that was rent. That is to say, His own body making a new way and a more consecrated way through the veil. That is to say, rending the flesh of His own body, taking the fleshly image out of the way, the body of this death that we might be able to get ahold of the spiritual things of God, and to see beyond the curtain of time, or the veil of time in that this body is considered to be the curtain of time. Okay, now, when we think of these things we realize that there was a lot in that sixth seal. I'm not preaching on the seal tonight, now. I'm just staying in the sixth seal. Elaborating on the sixth seal, that this sixth seal it shows Calvary. It shows Revelation 12. It shows the expulsion from the garden when man was put out of the presence of God. Because when Adam was driven out of the garden it was the expulsion of Lucifer from heaven. That was the expulsion of Lucifer from heaven, because the garden was a paradise. It was heaven. And when Satan entered into Adam, or when Satan entered into Eve, when Satan got into that body it indicated that they had to be driven out of heaven, that unless they put forth their hand to partake of the tree of life to live forever, giving Satan power and preeminence as the prince of this world, over all things he would have had power. And to prevent that they were driven out of the garden. So the expulsion was there. Revelation 12 records it, the thing that happened, and Calvary shows it as the rent veil and there went Lucifer out. He went out of the garden and there went a third part of the stars with him. That is, it had to do__ God creates in a one, two, three and it had to do with the falling of that which would be a reproduction, that in Adam all die, and all that reproduction would be wandering stars and reflectors of life because there is no true life, folks, unless the Daystar lives in your heart. So then, all life that is not in Christ, and all life that is not sealed with the Daystar, as to a permanent life, or as to the Holy Ghost infilling of life on the inside, then that means people are reflectors. They just reflect life. They go through life, but the reflect life. They may have money, they have grace, they have all of these things, but it is the overshadowing of the Shekinah just to make them as a mirror to reflect life. So then, when God made the Lord Jesus the image of sin, as to the first fallen man Adam, out of the presence of God he went, and he was smitten. We esteemed him smitten of God. So then, out of the presence of God He went and He was cast out of the presence of God, and the cry went up saying, My God! my God! why hast Thou forsaken me? That is to say, Father, you never do anything without some reason. What is the charge? What is the reason that you've done this thing to me? Why hast Thou forsaken me? So then, the wonderful pitiful cry of the Son of God being forsaken because God had made Him sin, and God could not look upon sin. And God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. And so then, the lovely Son of God here dying to conquer Satan. He had trapped Satan in a human body and He had conquered Satan, and He was taking Satan down to the bottomless pit. That is to say, Christ had captured Satan, in that this body was made sin and had captured Satan and took him down to the bottomless pit, or took him down into the flames of the fire. So then, this thing that he did was in potentiality, as to a coming day, or extensively speaking, that somewhere out in the future this was going to be made manifest, but it was in the foreknowledge of God before the world ever was and being brought to light at Calvary, as to what was happening, and to be comprehended in the end time that it might be established through Revelation twelve. That is to say, just a few short years after Calvary John got a revelation and he saw that Calvary was the expose as the mystery of God, the Kingdom of God. He wrote it down but it was not to be comprehended until after the church ages to make it the end time where the messenger that would finish the mysteries would come and sound. So we see that as Jesus went out, that is to say, the casting out of Lucifer. We see that as he went out it was symbolic to the serpent in the wilderness that Moses lifted up. And as the serpent went out, then in that he went out there was a third part that went out with him. And that third part, as we say, Jew, Gentile in church, that first part went out, the Jew. Out of the first heaven it went. They went out. That first part went out. They went out into darkness. They went out of the presence of God. God was no longer with the Jews. He had cut them off. He had blinded them in part until the time of the Gentiles come. But what you've got to remember is that when the other dispensation came in that that dispensation was the second heaven. The second heaven coming in brought in the Gentiles. That second heaven is still continuing. God is not yet consumed. He's not yet cut that second heaven off, but we're on the verge of the cutting off of it right now. So then, the second heaven had come in. The Jews had gone out. We'd have to go into enough to write volumes of the books to be able to express this, as to the types and shadows of the old and the new. We're trying to savor something to where we can understand it, then God can later put the fillers in, as we say, and detail it to us. So then, when the heavens were opened then the Jews went out of the presence of God, and through the fall of Jesus and the rejection of Jesus, and through the fall of the Jews we see what God did to Satan and those evil powers. That is, those that are in the spiritual realm, which is heaven. We see what God has done to them. God has brought about an expulsion. God has brought about a casting out, and they cannot remain in the spiritual realms. They've got to come out. They've got to be made manifest. Revelation 13. When the man child goes up in Revelation 12, Revelation 13, it shows Lucifer coming up out of the waters. That is to say, he is coming up among the people and becoming a personification in the earth to personify himself and all of these demon powers are doing the same thing. So then, it shows us that that which is spiritual was made manifest by a symbolic thing, which is called the Jews. So God showed this to us. Revelation 6 and the opening of the sixth seal, and the heavens rolled back as a scroll. The veil was rent in twain. The glass darkly I spoke of this morning was taken away. The scales from Paul's eyes was moved and the light came that they might be able to comprehend the heights, the depths, the widths of this great wonderful thing that God was doing. Now let's look at it for just a minute. This makes us to understand better what happened in the seventh seal following the sixth seal when the seventh seal was opened, which was the next following step of God. God moving in dimensional steps, like in the church ages, or in terms of seven as to divide it up secularly speaking so we'd know what He was talking about. When the seventh seal was opened all of a sudden, the Bible said, a third part of the sun was smitten. A third part of the moon was smitten. A third part of the things on the earth was smitten. See? What does that mean? What is He talking about? It meas that when Satan wrapped his tail around the third part of the stars that they fell unto the earth. So then, if natural stars are symbols and types of spiritual stars, then that means that the heaven that is above our head that passes away, that those are reflectors, and those are symbolic of the demon spirits. Whereas the true angels are symbolized by those stars that are like the Daystar, even the sun, or those stars that are burning stars that have their own life, their own light. So then, the reflectors, the wandering stars, the ones that don't do anything but just reflect, the Bible said that when a third part of the stars fall these wandering stars for whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever, as the preacher preached this, symbolically speaking, these stars fall to the earth. Now when these stars fall to the earth that darkens the heavens because a third part of the stars don't show anymore. They come out and because of this it effects the sunlight. It effects the moonlight and there will be a third part of the sun that will not show anymore. A third part of the moon will not show anymore. So then, what do we mean by a third part of the day not showing anymore. We say this a lot of times in trying to bring it out, that if there is a three in one, a Father, Son and Holy Ghost, then that means that a third part of the Godhead, which was the body of the Lord Jesus, that was smitten. A third part of God was smitten. That is, the bodily part of God was smitten and that's why the sun became dark as sackcloth of hair at the day of Calvary. It became very dark, as sackcloth of hair. Why was that? Because Christ was withdrawing from the body. And Christ is the great light, whereas the body represents the moon. That is to say Christ is the sunlight and Jesus is the moon part, because our body represents the moon part. Our body picks up the great light and reflects the great light. That is to say, with my spirit on the inside of my body life projects itself through my body, but if my spirit withdraws then I don't have any life in my body. See? My life is gone because my body is the moon part. It reflects light. It catches light from the spirit so the sunlight of my life on the inside, which is my spirit. So then, when this Christ withdrew from Jesus the shining was over. The illumination was over. Jesus said the body does nothing of itself, only what the light will do through it, only what the light will do through it and the body without the spirit is dead. So then, it's the same principle as you that are a mediator between those people that are out in sin. The same principle. God is shining through you to them, but the day that you go out of this world as the church the sunlight is over, the wrath of God comes down, because if the sunlight passes the moon, if it bypasses the moon then the earth will be burned up and the moon turned to blood. So then, that means that we are the salt of the earth and the wrath of God is held back from destroying this earth because you are in between the sinners and God, and one of these days we turn to blood. They pounce on the church as in the dark age. As it was with Jesus, His body was drenched in blood. He turned to blood. It was the moon turned to blood. And as they pounce on you, as they pounce (Begin tape two, side one.) on the church, and it's back to the martyrs. It's back to the killings when all of a sudden the church goes out. The moon goes out and there is nothing in between anymore, and the wrath and indignation, that great fire of God, begins to come, because you're no longer the Lamb that's killed all the day long. That is to say, the just suffering for the unjust. The Lamb of God to keep life in the earth, to provide that prosperity might continue. So then, we see that the Jews being driven out of the presence of God has great significance. And we see that it's Revelation 12, that this thing was for our knowledge and benefit of letting us know that the heavens had departed and that Revelation 12 was what Christ was speaking of when He showed Calvary. Now, let's look at it again for just a moment. In seeing that the heavens departed, the door was open in heaven, as I spoke this morning concerning Peter, the keys. Revelation 4, John being caught up. We see that the heavens departed, the ark of His testament was seen on the inside, which means the mystery was made known. The mystery was revealed. All of a sudden the great wonderful mystery had come forth; it was now to be made known. The veil was rent in twain. So then, when we see the stars, a third part smitten, a third part of the moon, and a third part of these other things it indicates that the Godhead had suffered a loss, to the extent that to overthrow, to overthrow Satan these things had to happen in symbols and types to show the over throw of Satan and to show that Lucifer, which is considered to be the son of the morning, had been cast out. And there had been a difference, and the reflector was ot there anymore. And some of you remember me bring out that concerning Lucifer the covering cherub, or the twins. How many remember that about the twins, the covering cherubs? That is to say, the covering cherubs, the twins, and one is a reflector of the other. We brought that out of what Paul said he could not speak particular of. So then, when this sixth seal is opened it indicates that it is the judgment of God. It is the end of the days of the Gentiles and the Jews, all of a sudden, get the seal because the Spirit of God, which is the Holy Ghost, the mantle of Elijah, is given back to that which is following. Now consider this again. I brought it out here one night, or I brought it out to the Brethren. Sometimes I have to stop and think because I bring it out to the Brethren and I think I bring it out in church and when I think back I realize I was talking to the Brethren, that I don't even have it on tape, or haven't brought it out to them. But, remember Elisha following Elijah. Everywhere Elijah would go he'd say, Now you stay here. He'd say, No, I'm going with you. Remember how that the sons of the prophets they said, Don't you know that today your head is going to be taken away from you? He said, Hold your peace, I know. I know. See? That was his head. Elijah was his master. So then, remember now, they both went over the Jordan together. Both of them went over the Jordan together. But when time came for the departure Elisha had said, Now, I want something. Elijah said, Request it of me; I'll give it to you before my departure. Elisha said, I want a double portion of your spirit. He said, My, said, You've ask a hard thing, but he said, Nevertheless, if you see me when I leave then you can have it. So then, Elisha watched Elijah depart in a fiery chariot and there came back the mantle unto Elisha. Remember now, the prophets, the sons of the prophets, they said, Your head is going to leave you. The mantle is what they wrapped about their head. Said, Your head is going to leave you. And so then, as Elijah went to leave his mantle fell back to Elisha and he picked up the mantle. But remember the thing that he did. He grabbed his vesture and he rent his vesture in two. Which means that was Calvary. They both went over the Jordan and that was Calvary with the rending of the veil and one was to return. And so it was that as Elijah went away Elisha came back. He went over the Jordan. When he got down to the Jordan it shows the rent veil again. He took the mantle and he smote the water and he said, Where is the God of Elijah? And the Bible said the waters departed hither and thither and he walked over. And the Bible said when the sons of the prophets saw it they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest upon Elisha, and they fell down on their faces. They recognized that power of authority, and he was now in command. You notice the first thing that he did when he got back over Calvary was exactly what Jesus did when He had triumphed over death. When he came back over the Jordan the first thing that he did, he took a cruise of salt and he healed the waters. Remember, the saints are the salt of the earth. He healed the waters. The water had death in it, but he put the cruise of salt into the waters. It was said that these waters shall never again be barren, nor fruitless. So then, the church world, or they that have been barren will never be barren again. Since God has poured in the oil and the wine. Since God has put the cruise of salt into the waters, purified the waters, and there is no more death in the waters. Today, we being the waters, we produce fruit unto life and when we flow through the streams into the bodily earth we bring forth the fruits of the spirit rather than bringing poison into the earth to kill the growth. So then, the Satanic poison that causes barrenness in our physical being, or in that which will be the millenium, as to the natural, God had taken the infiltration out. He has poured in the cruise of salt, and He tells us to be salty. That is to say, that the others might get thirsty. For He said any sacrifice must be salted and that with fire. So then, the fire comes back, as we say, the baptism of the fire as well as the Holy Ghost, and the fire consuming the chaff that the Holy Ghost might have it's pure preeminence in our life to bring forth this wonderful thing called godliness. Let me say this right here for just a little bit. Let me comment. The first heaven and it was over. The first heaven was over. John represented that first heaven and so then the law was folded up and laid away, and that was the end of the law and the prophets. And then the second heaven set in, and the second heaven had to do with Peter. The second heaven being Peter, having to do with Peter, with this second heaven. We find according to history, as far as we know, Peter saying, I don't want to die like my Lord; I'm not worthy. They turned him upside down which indicated the fall of Lucifer, because Jesus had said unto Peter, yet not Peter but the infiltration, Get thee behind me, Satan. And Paul had withstood Peter to his face, because as fault was found with John to the extent that he was behead, and that is to say that Jesus was rejected, as to show the John part. Reject of God, then it passed on. When it passed on to Peter, then Peter was blamed to his face, Paul said, because he was to be blamed, and it passed on again to Paul. From the first heaven to the second heaven, to the third heaven. And so then, when John passed it on then Peter got it. And when Peter came into the second heaven it indicated the time of the Gentiles, that God was now with the Gentiles. He was now among the Gentiles and working with the Gentiles, so the Roman Church was set up. And the powers of the Roman Church, the powers and authority was utilized in the earth as being the supremacy through the Pontiff, or through the Papacy. And so then, they said Peter is the first Pope. That is the fall of Lucifer. Get thee behind me, Satan. Blaming him to his face, savoring that which be of the flesh, Satan in the earth. It represented Satan in the earth. There was nothing wrong with Peter no more than there was anything wrong with Jesus, but the same symbolic sense was following Peter because he was a leader. Peter had walked on the water like his master. Peter had healed with his shadow. Peter did great things. He had opened the door to the Gentile church. He was a great wonderful Christ in the earth, to that extent. All of a sudden here through this rejection he represents Lucifer, the beginning of the Papacy, and right then and right there we find the beginning of the reign of Lucifer in the earth. Once he was cast out, once the veil was rent we find the reign of Lucifer in the earth. Let's look at it for just a minute and see if that bears out. I'll try to hurry along. There are so many things to say until we just have to scrouge and push just to try to get things together. Nine seventy-five B.C., what happened? The kingdom was divided. The crown, at that time, was with Israel. See? Because the first heaven was in effect. So the kingship was there and the crown was there. But, remember? It went down into Babylon. That was symbolic of what happened at Calvary because it was manifested at Calvary, as to what symbolically took place when the Jews fell into the power and control of Nebuchadnezzar. So then, going from the Israelites down in Babylon it indicated it would pass on from the Jews at Calvary down into mystery Babylon, which would be the Papacy, or the Roman powers. And so then, we see that the crown went down into Babylon. For seventy years it was there. Remember? Right along about the last of it Daniel began to seek God. He began to read the Scriptures, found out what was going on and he said, God, make me to know what is going to befall my people in the latter times. Which means that what Daniel saw was concerning the Jews and concerning the latter times, even the seventy weeks up until Calvary, then the time of the Gentiles, which was not shown to Daniel, but his people__ He, seeing what was happening to his people it went on over to the last week of Daniel, which was the seven days of the seven years of the last week. So then, the crown went into Babylon. When the crown went down into Babylon it remained there for seventy years. And then in the days of the King Artaxerxes Nicene march(?), back in that time, remember? Back in the time, remember, four-forty-five. Back in the time when this thing took place the crown was in Babylon but Nehemiah fasting and praying became very melancholy and the King loved Nehemiah so he said, What is your problem, Nehemiah? And he said, Well, my Father's house is all torn down. The walls of the city is all torn down and I'm very grieved over it. And he said, Go to the king's forest, take what you want and build it back. It was in the days of Sanballat when the half-breeds really fought and caused problems. Same thing today. It's the half-breeds that cause the problems. We talk about that a lot of times, the religious parasites. So then, them that are cold don't cause the problems. Them that are hot don't cause the problems, but the religious in-between causes the problems. They hinder you from building the walls with the lively stone, back to the coming of the Messiah. In that that is what we're doing. In that the Bible says, and this agrees with what the writer said when they counseled at Jerusalem. For I will return in the last days, saith God, and I will up the fallen down house of David, even the lively stones. So then, we see that the crown, which was down in Babylon, that it came out of Babylon. It came out of Babylon so that it would be restored to Jesus, or back to the Jewish people as they built the walls back to the coming of the Messiah. And they were going to re-establish their Kingdom. But when their King came they rejected Him. The King was ready to bring in the Kingdom, but they were not ready to receive the king, and so they killed their king and was written as the accusation over Jesus as to the king. He said, Will you kill your king Pharoah? Or he said, Will you kill your king, not Pharoah. But he said, Will you kill your king? And they said, He's not our king, but he wrote it over the head of Jesus, THE KING OF THE JEWS. And so then there in Pilate's judgment hall they denied their king and they rejected their king. I say Pharoah because the same thing happened to Moses. It was symbolic. It was another symbolic thing of what took place with Jesus. So then we see that they rejected their king. And when they rejected their king the Papacy came into power because that same crown that was to go to Jesus went into another dimension and that dimension was a physical dimension and the Papacy took the crown and became the Pontiff, and became the great power preeminence in the earth. The transfer came right on over from the days of Babylon and it bears out. We've got some tapes here that bring it out just exactly how it went through the transitional changes and it went on over and it continued until not too long ago when the priest came by Little Bethlehem. It continued until then, and when the priest came by it had to do with the Macon meeting. If you remember the Macon meeting, it had to do with the Macon meeting. It had to do with that thing that the priest gave unto me, that I have right now. It had to do with Reagan coming to Macon at this time and Brother Branham's daughter Sarah being there and a number of other things being in Macon at this time. We have a paper that Brother John Lane brought us concern Mr. Reagan. And those things that took place with George Israel and Mr. Reagan there had great significance. But, anyway, this happened. For a number of years, many years the Papacy had the crown then all of a sudden about the time that we say that it is over and that God is going to change and the new dimension is coming in and the third heaven is coming in, all of a sudden, they quit using the crown. They got rid of the crown and the last thing that happened in bringing in the Pope they did not use the crown. So then, it indicated that the power of the Papacy was over. It indicated that the second heaven was now at an end just as the first heaven was at an end at Calvary. And it indicated that Paul, who blamed Peter to his face, was now back into power. I know it's hard to get a hold of, but remember one thing. Paul was Christ. And when this crown went from Jesus, from the Jews, over to the Christ through the Gentile age it brought in Paul the apostle, as to the third heaven. Paul said, Such a one I knew of he was caught up to the third heaven. It brought in Paul, who was Christ, and Christ being in the midst of the candlesticks as the end of the church ages. And I don't have time to detail this. I did detail some of it to some of the Brethren. Even today we spoke of a little of it. But Christ in the middle of the candlestick. The midst of the candlestick. Christ, Paul. Paul established the churches. Paul was the one that had the revelation, and Paul was the one that God worked with to break that Revelation down into seven dimensional steps that proportionally speaking, people might comprehend down through the church ages what God had given Paul as Christ in the church, even the revelation. And in the end time it was to be summed up and every dimensional step of the revelation through the church ages messengers was to be brought back in a compiled, or compound way, and the spirit of Paul in the end time was to receive that which belong to him, even Christ, because it was Christ working through Paul that those things happened, and was received back to Christ. So then, Christ received all of it to Himself to become the bright star of the dawning of this day which is the morrow after the Sabbath, which is the resurrection, which means after Calvary, the beginning of the first day. And so then, it is in this day and this hour that that thing is taking place. It is at this time that the transformation light of the full power and magnificence of the revelation of Paul that takes us into the rapture, that translates us, that moves us into the third heaven, which is what we call the translation, or that which Paul speaks of in Thessalonians; the catching up, the change, the catching away. Many things we've said about that, and many other things we could say about it, and proportionally speaking, as we go along, from time to time we will say something about it. But in connection with what we said tonight and what we said this morning, see? We're living right at the end time. Let me say just a few things as to present day happenings. There's Brother John Lane moving from Macon, Georgia going into Olive Branch, Mississippi. Why is that? Because it has a great significance at this time. I go back to Elijah and Elisha. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and notable day of the Lord comes, for it shall be a day that shall burn as an oven, and utterly burn the wicked up, neither leaving them root, nor stubble. Or they shall be as stubble. So then, not leaving them a root, nor branch in the earth. See? Who was Elijah? And they said, How is it that the Scriptures say that Elijah must first come? You say that you are the Messiah. How is it? He said, I say to you that Elijah has already come, if you can receive it. And they perceived that He spake of John the Baptist. So then, John coming as Elijah, it is seen in a symbolic sense right as of now. All of a sudden the well down there at Brother Cobb's place there in Macon is drying up. The same as it was at the brook Cherith, the same as it was with Elijah. All of a sudden it is drying up. The ravens have been feeding the man to the extent that he has had to work on a natural job. Moving back, always as a forerunner, going back into the areas of Olive Branch soon. If you'll look at it real close there is a famine. Brother Branham. There's a famine. There has been a great thing. Brother Branham had a great thing, but now they are running out. See? It's time for the new harvest. It's the crossing of the Jordan. You can't look at it in the veil, as the spoken word anymore. You've got to get on the other side of Jordan. You've got to get it out of quotes and you've got to bring it into a revelation. It's not the beginning of the spoken word, but it's the end of the revelated word, the unveiled word, which is the revelation of the Son of God. So then, we see this thing taking place and we see John as a forerunner. We see the thing happening. There is a famine. Look at the drought that I saw. Look at that drought, concerning the man that I spoke of that passed away in Olive Branch not long ago. I saw him as the drought took place. I saw him pass away. And look at the drought that's over seas right now, concerning these children. See? So then, at this time Elijah was sent to the widow. Elijah was sent to the widow. Five hundred years of silence from the time of Daniel over to the coming of the Lord and Israel had been all by themselves, and there come the Messiah. So then, all of a sudden here Elijah is sent to the widow. What is the widow? It's obvious that the church in Olive Branch at this time, so far as the symbolic thing is connecting with what we're speaking of, it is obvious that that church is the widow. Every preacher that they've had over there something has happened. There's been fornication. It's been adultery. It's been money. It's been something that has killed out every leader that they had over there. The church doesn't have one pastor, one preacher, one person that they can turn to. She's become a widow. And all of a sudden God sends Elijah to the widow. And what is that for? Behold I send you Elijah the prophet before the great and the notable day of the Lord comes. That is to say, the revelation of Jesus Christ, the breaking forth of the great light. The thing that will actually do away with all of humanity. All of man's understanding. All of the image as the light grows brighter and brighter with the coming of the Lord, because the revelation is the coming of the Lord. And before this revelation is made known in the heart, before this revelation can come into the heart, then there is a forerunner of the thing that we speak of. And in the symbolic sense as pertaining to this particular thing, right now that's what is happening to the Brother as he goes back into that area. So then, we see that all of the meetings that we've had where he's been a forerunner, seven dimensional steps I remember in particular. Those things had to do with the forerunner and the coming of Elijah. See? So Elijah the prophet. Who is Elijah? In the last days Elijah will come and Moses will come in the later times. But speaking of this, as pertaining to the priest, and speaking of that which is transferred over, as to Little Bethlehem having this thing concerning the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and the third heaven coming in, in that a heaven is a mind, and the mind of Christ brings in the third heaven. Paul caught up to the third heaven, the revelation of the Son of God. So then, the priest coming over, anointing as he did, and would not rest until he declared this to be the work of God and declared this to be a priesthood. And the Bible said we are a royal priesthood. And when he fell down on his knees, or face and made the statement, said, this doesn't have to be the way that the Catholic Church does it. This doesn't have to go through their traditional practices. Said, This is the divine ordination of God, as the priesthood that's in the earth today. And so then it indicated the transferring over. It indicated that the power that's in the earth had been transferred. It came from the Jews. It was given to the Jews by God. It came from the Jews down into Babylon and then God had to be with Babylon, and called Nebuchadnezzar his servant. And then it passed on to the Gentiles and God had to hold the Gentiles up, and stand for the Gentiles because the crown was among them. And then God passed it on just recently bringing it on to the third heaven that He might pass it to the church, pass it to the son's of God, pass it to the angelic realms, that the son, that is to say, the child being caught up to the crown, being caught up to the throne, being caught up to the mind of Christ, that that child being caught up would rule with a rod of iron and bring in the end time, and that the second heaven could pass away, that God would establish the third heaven, beloved friend, which shall never pass away. So then, when John looked at it he saw the dragon in the second heaven, because the woman is in the second heaven. The church of today is in the second heaven. This is a physical dimension. It's represented by the Catholic power and we brought it out in dimensional steps and in detail, as to the breaking down of the shew bread and the candlesticks and the many things that shows that it came in at Calvary. So then, the third dimension is coming in and the third heaven is coming in, which means the angelic part of it, or the spiritual part of it, Paul called it the third heaven. And the second heaven is now ready to pass away. So then, as the old world passed away so then ye, as Peter said and Paul said, ye are the people upon whom the ends of the world has come. So then, the great day of the elements being on fire, the great moment of the dissolving of the elements, which means the atomic powers, which is a composition of the elements, that day of dissolving is here. That day of transformating is here. That day when the heavens shall literally melt with fervent heat. That is to say, all that's above us, the atmosphere, is considered heaven, and it will literally melt. And in doing it, it will effect the gravitational powers, It will cause the stars to fall from heaven, going back to the star wars; and a star fell from heaven. Those wandering stars. Those reflectors. They're going to fall from heaven. Those great lights of God can never fall from heaven, because their lights remain in their orbits. They remain there, but wandering stars, in the physical dimensions, as in the church. Wandering stars that are in the natural heavens above us as reflectors of nickel, and of rock, as scientists have defined it. Those things turning into brimstone, burning, potentiality of fire within them, burning as the move through the frictional transitional changes from heaven to earth. Burning all the potentiality out, all of that which could be fuel and leaving in brimmed, just like the salt does the coral in the sea. Leaving in brimmed that it might be brimstone as it comes down hot brimstone upon the earth. But, anyway, I said that to say this; that the star wars that you see right now had to do with it. And I made the statement not too long ago, I said, what they're going to do, they're going to shoot those missiles from over yonder, and over here they're going to try to intercept them in the air. And I said, When they do that's going to be war in heaven. And already I've got the word that Reagan said that was exactly what he was planning to do. And so then, it's going to be a war in heaven. It's going to be a war among the stars, or star war, or that means angelic force against angelic force, as it was in Daniel's vision in his day. (Begin tape two, side two.) ...between heaven and earth. So then, you can see why that the moon will actually turn to blood, or the great fire that would break out in those realms up there. A lot we could say concerning the thunders because that will bring the thunders to pass. That is the thing that will move the heavenly bodies to bring the thunders to pass. But, folks, we've got to get into the revelation of the Lord and understand what God is telling us by these things because if we're going to understand the mysteries of God and we're going to understand the day we're living in, if we're going to be prepared for the coming of the Lord, then Jesus said it's giving unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God and we've got to move in, pray for the spirit of revelation and ask God to give us that understanding of the wonderful mysteries of Jesus Christ. You are His disciples, unto you it is given. Unto the world it's not given to know these mysteries. It's just given to them to have church. It's just given to them to be religious, but unto you it is given. So then, let's come in and let's make it our business, not to just want to be a church member, but to learn and to live and to study, and to try to give our lives that we might establish the KIngdom of God and help others at this needy time. I'd like for you to stand with me. There are so many other things that I'd like to say it would take quite a while to continue on. Maybe we'll get to say a little bit more about it later. Right now, folks, we really need to get serious. It's a very serious hour. Our Brother coming down, even Brother Jay White, while we were talking. It was such a perfect thing. At the very moment that Jay come down, and that from Jeffersonville, Indiana. And strangely enough, as we spoke about the heat that was to go into Jay's house, all of a sudden it was decided it should come out of the building they call the Father's house. Coincidental or not, in coming from Jeff, and then coming in and saying the place was cursed there in Jeff, the Red Devils, remember? their ball teams and whatever, and the woman that was relative to Brother Branham saying that Brother Branham had stated that when that tent came through there that would be it for Jeff, and all of a sudden, things happening in Jeff like it has, the judgments, the death and all of these things. And then comes the man, and his heat comes out of the very building where we had the timber. We built the floor out of the timber. That was the platform that was under that white tent, and him coming and talking about Jeff being cursed. And the heat from the little trailer, that goes back to the man that came down. I spoke of him having to do with the man child, coming down from Chattanooga, or that area up there. There's lot of things we could say about it. But, anyway, these few little things just to help you knit the thing together in your mind as to the fact that something is happening, something is taking place. Many multiplied things in a present day revelation that I don't get to share with you. And some of the things I get to share with my wife. Not as many as I'd like to share with her, but I do share quite a number of things with her. Would love to share more with you, because I like to understand the revelation and I'm sure you like to understand the revelation. But, folks, to know the mystery we're going to have to walk with the Lord, because only one is going to get the mystery and that is His bride. He's going to reveal Himself to His bride. When a man marries a wife, remember the Old Testament teachings, she comes within his presence as to humility. The veil is placed over her face that she might not be protruding and bold, that she might be humble and submissive. We're in this veil and we see through a glass darkly. We are approaching the Master and He is about to unveil us, because He's taking us into the secret chambers, which means the revelation. He's taking us into the secret chambers that He might perform the marriage, or the wedding. So there He unveils us, even as a man unveils his companion he unveils us. And here we are found within His presence and the veil of intellectual reasoning is taken away, of that intellectual life. So to rend not our garment, as a symbolic thing, but to rend our heart, that our very heart, our inner most might be exposed unto Him, even our life. So then, the veil is being taken away. The veil is being rent. If you are His bride then you will go into the secret chambers with Him. And when you go into the secret chambers with Him then He will unveil you and you will see Him as He really is, and not through a glass darkly, not through a veil darkly and He will see your face as to the beauty, or reflection of His ownself, no longer twain, but as one, even His image unto reproduction, as to His own desire and satisfaction and His pleasure, in that the woman is the glory of the man, so is the church the glory of Christ. So then, we see that this thing is happening. It's happening. Not to say that the Lord Jesus isn't coming back. The Bible said they will say unto you, He is in the secret chambers, but go not forth, for as the lighting flashes even from the East unto the West so shall the coming of the Son of Man be. So then, He's coming as a natural body. He's coming as a mortal, as to sight. He's coming, as to being a man that you will see. He will come back in the natural. But remember there's a natural, there's a physical, there's a spiritual and one part is to one part, and another part to another part, and another part to another part, and I'm speaking of our part. So then, remember we are that which is the true Jew and we are those__ Being the true Jew, we are they that have a spiritual head, even Christ. And the Jews are looking for a natural head, even the coming of the King and the Messiah that they rejected, while the world is waiting for the third part, even the coming of that image that God smote at Calvary, even the perverted image of the bastard child, even the antichrist, or the dragon. And of course, we were commenting a little bit today to our wife concerning the three unclean spirits and of the frogs. But, nevertheless, these things are imperative, as to our learning, and to our salvation, as to our growing in the grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's sing a little chorus together. (Singing) The Lord Jesus wants to reach out tonight and do something for you. Let's just lift our hands up to the Lord. Father, God of Heaven, as we come to the close of another service, we're thankful for Your wonderful presence and Your wonderful glory. Let's us therefore worship Thee, O God. Let us us love You. Be with us and help us. Heal, save, forgive, deliver. Bless our people, Father. Bless the people around the world tonight, and help us in our own feeble way, Father, do whatever we can for the Kingdom of God and for the great wonderful people of God, Lord, that our eyes may be opened and that we might see, and that they might see. God, help us. Be with us. We're so little. We're so small in Your sight, My Father. But, Lord God, in Christ we're so great and we're so mighty, even conquerors, and more than conquerors to Him that loved us and gave Himself for us. Help us tonight, Lord. Bring us back together at the proper time. Keep us safe and provide for us . Help our loved ones. Do it, Father, in Jesus' precious, wonderful name. Let's sing this little chorus. I might not can remember too well, but I'm sure that Brother Taylor can. (Singing) I want to get Brother Gary Joiner to come up and dismiss us tonight. Think these things over, folks. Think them over. Give the more earnest heed to the things you've heard lest you let them slip. Take heed how that you hear them and incorporate them in your life. Study to show yourself approved a workman unto God that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Words of truth, and let's sow the seeds for Christ. Let's tell the old, old story, the grand wonderful story of our darling, wonderful Savior, and let's band together in all of our efforts in prayer and whatever we might do in our endeavors, and let's go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Let's do it for His glory and for His namesake. Father, help us and deliver us, I ask in Jesus name. As our Brother comes tonight to dismiss you think on these things. When it's well with you, Joseph said, remember me. Remember me and pray for me when it's well with you. Pray for me. You know, remember me. I want to remember you while you're in the dungeon, and want to help you out of the dungeon. And I want to do something for you. And I want to interpret the dream of your head that you might understand, that you might come into the wonderful powers of God and be restored back to the place from which you've fallen, in that through Adam all die. And once being in that garden you had the great opportunity through Adam to live forever, to restore you back. But, folks, remember me. Remember me. When you come to that place remember me. I'm trying to reach others throughout the world. In world evangelism I'm trying to reach out and help others and I need you to remember me. When it's well with you remember me and remember the others. Do that and God will bless you.
