Spiritual Unveiling Of The Seals

When we first started recording we recorded a song for Gerald record company that says talk, talk, talk about Jesus and that's what we want to do is talk, talk, talk about Jesus cause he's been so good to me. Reading in the book of St. Luke the eighth verse. (Brother Pike reads Chapter 21 verses 8 through verse 38.) All right. Now, it says here in the 27th verse "And then shall you see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." And if your turn over to the book of Revelation with me, over to the sixth chapter of the book of Revelation you'll find out that the Lord is opening the seals. Revelation 4, a door open in heaven. Revelation 5, the Ancient of Days setting on the Throne with the book in His hand to give it to the Lamb. The sealed book, Revelation 6, and He opens the book. That is, the seals. He loosens them. And if you'll notice, now Jesus, when He was on earth, He spake these things to His disciples, and He says very clearly, And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. There'll be distress of nations, earthquakes, heart failure, the powers of heaven will be shaken. Whereas, they are already getting into that through atomic particles, and the Bible said the very heavens themselves, even the atmosphere itself, as to the elements, shall be on fire. And the earth and all therein shall utterly be burned up. Then you go right hurriedly over to the book of Revelation, which was after Jesus departed, and John was on the Isle of Patmos a few short years later, and in the spirit on the Lord's Day, and he received this revelation, which is the rent veil of Calvary, the unveiling, as to what Jesus was saying. And it says here in Revelation 12, or 6, the 12th verse, "And I beheld when He open 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; 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. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 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 free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 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: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" After this then John saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, until God could seal the hundred and forty-four thousand. And then after that he looked and he saw a great multitude in heaven that no man could number that had come up through great tribulation, as to the tribulation of your day here, of all nations and kindred and tongues. And these having come up that way, as to this, they were sealed there in heaven, and they were in the presence of the Lamb to never weep anymore, and for the heat of the day to never light upon them anymore, to never feel uncomfortable anymore. But the Lamb would lead them to the fountain of living waters, and he would take care of them. See? So,it's what Jesus said here in Luke, as to twenty-one. You'll find it in Matthew twenty-four. And where He says here there shall be signs in the stars and in the moon. And then he goes on the say how that the stars would fall from heaven, and these different things. And then as I say, you turn right over here and sure enough here it is in the Revelation. We say, what kind of revelation? Well, John calls it right here. It says here at the beginning, The Revelation of Jesus Christ. So then, we know that something is taking place. We know that there is an hour that is now at hand and we need to understand what is taking place because there are some things that are taking place. And even though we as people, we are so prone just to consider the natural sources, as to the things of the world and not the things of God. And we're so moved in our natural way of life to relate to the things of the world, in that we are born of the dust in our first birth, that we really never become spiritual in our whole life time. During our whole lifetime we never get spiritual. We go to church and as I was saying a little bit ago, you ask anybody is they belief in God, and most assuredly they do believe in God. And you ask them, Well, what do you think, you know, as to being a Christian? Oh, I'm a Christian, they'll say. I'm a Christian. I believe in the miraculous. I believe in all these things, you know. And indeed they do. Being a believer, that's not good enough. The Bible said, Will you know, O vain man, that faith with works is dead? This Charismatic way of life, just believing, it's not enough. Everyone that saith Lord, Lord, is not going to enter into the Kingdom of God, but the works is he that doeth. As you have had a will then have a performance. And so then there is going to have to be a doing. You're going to have to do the will of God. He that doeth the will of God. Having that will have a performance, because your believing is dead altogether without works. You must do the will of God. And he that endureth until the end the same shall be saved. So then, we realize that there is more to this than the ministry in general is bringing forth today. And almost every ministry with their congregation today is making an allowance through compromising. And they are infiltrating the church with all kind of social benefits. And today that which is suppose to be the cream of the crop, as to holiness, today is just like the Baptist and Methodist, and anything else. First of all, we need to remember something, that God is not Baptist, and God is not Methodist, and God is not Pentecost, and God is not Catholic, and God is not Church of Science, and He's not all these other titles you've got, as to a church name you live but you are dead. God is the spirit of holiness, and the Bible said without holiness no man is going to see the Lord. And Paul said, And this spirit, as to God the spirit of holiness, then I serve this God with my spirit. Or that is, I give my spirit to holiness, because he is the spirit of holiness. Why anybody wants to cater to something else could only be one reason, and that is looking for some kind of vain prestige. Or some kind of a false thing as to accept this as being something in the world, you know, when they're nothing. I mean, What is Baptist? When you say Baptist, what is Baptist? The word means baptize. So what? People believe in baptizing. Most all denominations do. And what is Methodist? I said the other night that John Wesley started that. He had a method, and because of his method that was so different they called him the man with the method, or the people with the method, or the methodist. And as I said about the Presbyterians, which means the aged one, as the Bible speaks of the presbyter. See? As to the laying on of the hands of the elders. See? All of these things they mean nothing as to Christianity, or bringing you to something, and it's a little childish gesture of people that will say, Well, I'm Baptist and I'm Methodist, just as if to think that they've said something that's as great and outstanding. See? But all it is, it is just, there are a lot of people that follow John Wesley. And if he could get up out of his grave today he probably would want to catch them by the heals and shake them until they got the right sense on, because they've twisted the thing around and messed it up so that they wouldn't even recognize John Wesley if he come preaching. It was like it was in the days when God Almighty gave to Moses the wonderful Word of God, and then as the days passed on down and God came back to receive the fruit of the vineyard he gave them the parable of what they had done, and they had made so many insertion, so many changes, putting in so many addendums until they had got the Word so changed from what Moses had it that they were teaching the tradition of the elders and making void the commandments of God, and did not even recognize God when He came by the Word that they had. See? And because of that I read right here to you where the Bible said, And great wrath is determined upon these people, the Jews, because they did not recognize the day of their visitation. And it's going to be the same way with the Gentile people. It's coming. See? Because the Word of God, the same yesterday, today, and forever to a thousand generations. It's here to you and you are doing with it the same way as to the Jews. They did one thing with it; you're doing the same thing. And it's going to be harder for you, for the Bible said it will be worse for you than it was for Sodom and Gomorrah when God rained fire right down out of heaven. See? It will be worse for you. He told Tyre and Sidon and some of the others, He said, And I say unto you, He said, because of these things that have been wrought in your presence, and the things that you have seen. He will say of the Gentile world, having seen these great and mighty things, He said, Sodom and Gomorrah never had the privilege of seeing these kind of things, and I say unto you that it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah than for you in the day of judgment. And Capernaum, He said. (Some of you have walked there along the shores of Galilee with me over in Capernaum, some of the other places where Jesus did such mighty works.) He said, Thou that has been exalted to heaven shall be cast down to hell. So folks, as I said this morning, we see people doing wrong, and we see the judgments of God upon them. And Jesus said, Seeing these things you still do wrong. You still do wrong. We're the people that know what's right, and we're the people that know what's wrong. Jesus said, How can you escape the judgments of God knowing this. See? So we are the people that know, and we are the people that understand. Here I'm looking into the book of Revelation, and I'm looking at this thing, as I said. Here we are looking at a book that has been sealed with seven seals, and that on the back side of it. It's very evident that we are looking at the book of redemption as to the fact that whatever God gave to the Jews of the many, many things of ritualistics and the many laws, and those things as to what God gave unto the Jews, they did not perform them. They had the law, Paul said, and none of you keep it. And the name of the Lord is blasphemed among the Gentiles because you don't keep it. And he made this statement. He said, If they that are born of God, if they by nature keep the law, having no law, as to the natural letter, won't they be justified when you that have the law, as to the letter, you don't keep the law? for they are a law unto themselves. Their thoughts being the means while accusing or excusing one another, as to the continual warfare of casting down the wrong thoughts and establishing the right thoughts. As Paul said, When I would do good I find a law that evil is present with me. O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death. Then he spoke of the victor through Calvary. All right. So then, we see that this book has been sealed. Evidently he is telling us that the Lord Jesus Christ who said, I come not to destroy the law, but to rather to fulfill the law, that He has come and fulfilled the law at Calvary. And that every jot and every tittle hath then been fulfilled, and he folded up the law. He folded up the book and He laid the book away, as to say His own body, in that He said, Offerings and sacrifices thou wouldest not, but a body thou hast prepared me, or for me. For He said, Lo, it is written in the volume of the book, I come to do thy will, O God. Thus saying He taketh away the first, in that God found fault with that which did not do His will in that He gave them the law and they did not keep it. And now He hath brought to pass His will. Someone would say, Then that means that the Jews, Brother Pike, did not keep the law, and God realizing that He came to the Gentiles knowing that the Gentiles would keep the law. That's not right at all. The Gentiles has been as bad, or worse than the Jews. That wasn't what He was saying at all. He was saying that the Jews did not keep it, and it's very obvious, as I look toward the Gentiles, they will be as bad, or worse. And so then, I'm making myself a human body, and I'm coming down in this human body. And I'm going to fulfill my own Word to my satisfaction and desire, and then I'm going to leave the Jews that keep trying to bring this thing to pass by human ritualistics. And I'm going to give grace over the whole world, as to abundance of grace, that these people may have a chance for the tutoring, as to the ministry of the church ages to learn about Me, and learn about God, and to learn about His ways and His love. And so then, that they will have faith and confidence in me as their Heavenly Father, and I will put all of their sins behind them, and all of their iniquities behind them for one simple reason, and that is because they believe in me. They believe in Me, or they will accept My righteousness, therefore, I will impute it unto them. My faith, or their faith, as godliness or life. So then, we see that these seals, seven of them on the back side. When Jesus fulfilled it all He fulfilled everything in the Old Testament. He folded the book up. He closed it up, and then the spirit of God, which is seven spirits like you see these seven candlesticks here. See? The seven candlesticks are before the Throne of God as in Heaven. Then in this, the seven spirits of God sealed the back of that book. It sealed the back of that book. And the book, as I said, as to the scrolls, one scroll rolled over and a seal, and another on the top and a seal, and another on the top until the seven. See? And as opening here comes the Lamb. When John sees the revelation it is nothing less or more than the rent veil of Calvary, and the ark of God's covenant being revealed which means the book being opened. So in the book of revelation the seals are opened. So John seeing this, writing about this, as to that that is revealed being made known unto man, and that which is secret is God's. And as to revelation 10 and 7, And in the days of the voice of the seventh angel the mystery of God will be finished. And as we say, as to the original rendering of this thing as to mystery, whereas, the Bible uses the terms, Great is the mystery of godliness. Paul says, I am a steward of the mysteries for I write unto you how that by revelation He made known unto me the mystery. Then here we find that the original rendering is, He that abideth under the shadow of the Almighty shall dwell in the secret place of the Most High, for it says God's secrets. So we find that in this we can get into the secrets by watching, studying, understanding the shadow. There is a shadow. Whereas, David saying, God looking down from Heaven into this world that's a great valley, He said, Lo, I walk through this valley. And it is the valley of the shadow of death, that Satan is the God of this world, and his shadow is hanging over me like the clouds between the sun and the earth. And I walk through the valley of the shadow, he said, but I won't fear any evil, for Thou art with me. He said, Thy rod and staff, which means the Holy Ghost and the Word. Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, in that ye shall be hated of all nations for my name sake. My cup is running over. And He went on to say God would make him to lay down in green pastures, and God would lead him by the still waters. And that he would abide in the house of the Lord forever. So then,we find out that we are in this valley and it's filled with shadows. And as Paul said concerning the Old Testament, that even until this day the veil that was over Moses face remains over the people, as to the Moses followers. See? The veil that was over Moses face still is over the face of Moses' followers, which was the Jews. And Paul was telling them that in his day because he was preaching to the Jews. But then when he came to the Gentiles he said, Now, I am your apostle. I am your overseer. And now I have the revelation as to the revealed thing, or the veil rent in two if you will listen. Then he spoke, as to that being types, and that being shadows, and that being allegories. He said, But, we that come to God there is the veiled face no more. But the veil is taken away within Christ, in that you have Christ's heart, Christ's spirit, Christ's mind, Christ's understanding, Christ's ears, Christ's eyes. You are the body of Christ, members in particular, bone of His bone, and flesh of His flesh. And in that you are, he said, then the light has come to you. And this great light that has shined in darkness is now being comprehended by you. Though it shines in the darkness the veil of death, as to the intellectual reasoning that came to Adam and Eve closes it out. And you as children of darkness shall not see when good cometh, as to the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for this light shining in darkness is this wisdom and understanding and the Bible said they comprehended it not. There is unto you of the end time, the Bible said, It shall come to pass that there shall be light in the evening time and them that set in the shadow of death great light has sprang up unto them, and now the true light shineth. And now this light has come unto you as to the rent veil of Calvary and the refracted light of that great capstone. And now the messengers of the church age, as to the loosening of those seven seals, as to one at a time, is making it known unto you that you might know about this wonderful glory of the great wonderful Revelation of Jesus Christ. And that's why the Bible tells us that we should pray that God would grant unto you, or us, the spirit of revelation. One Spirit, many operations. All right. So then, we find that with the sealing of this book, Lo, I come in the volume of the book as it is written of me, O God, to do thy will. He did the will. He fulfilled everything. He said, It is finished, closed the book and when He closed the book the back side of it was sealed, as with the presence of God, with these seven seals. And the reason seven seals, in that God is one spirit as to the seven seals, is because there had to be seven angelic messengers that would, from the time of the rent veil of the opening of this book, from that time as to the beginning of the Church where three thousand were added to the Church in one day. From that time all the way down through the church ages to the coming of our day where John saw Jesus standing in the midst of the seven candlesticks. All down through there it had to be that this book would be opened proportionally as to one seal as to a church messenger, as to another seal a church messenger, as to another seal a church messenger until this thing compounded itself, coming on down to the knowledge of God, giving us a little bit of that light at a time that when it came down to the end of the trail that there it would be, a seven fold light. Like Scientist say, the sun shall light up seven times as to it's brightness now, and go away in a nova. The Church will light up as seven times with this message of Christ. That is to say, the seven candlesticks light up with the fullness of God and just like that it will go away and the whole world will go into darkness. See? Every thing natural has to have a counterpart. So then, we see that we are getting closer and closer to that time. Scientist are already taking about the sun burning out, and talking about these kind of things. And we brought out some things not too long ago, because the Bible says there will be signs in the heavens, signs in the stars as to the galaxies, and all these things. And now then, scientists read the heaven like a book, like a scroll. And they understand it. They're seeing all kind of things. He said in the earth there would be fire, as to these awful fires we're having, and this bombing where that the elements are on fire and said there will be pillows of smoke as you see it mushroom up like it's never done before as in this last age. And the Bible said, and it would be, even the elements would be on fire, as to saying scientists, knowledge falsely so-called, would tap on to these electrons, and these neutrons, and protons, as to saying atoms. See? And after awhile everything would be combustible. All right. So then, we see that the Lord sealed this book after that Jesus fulfilled everything the Jews stumbled and staggered at. He came and fulfilled His own law. He made it perfect. He folded it up, sealed it up, and took it out of the way. If the Jews one time had ever fulfilled the law, completely fulfilled it it would have been folded up taken out of the way, and we would not have had any problem with that, because the Bible teaches that the law was not sent to bring righteousness. Paul had the dispute with Peter over this, saying that if there had been a law that could have brought salvation and righteousness Jesus Christ would never have had to die. If there was a law that would bring righteousness then Christ Jesus died in vain. And he said, I'm not going to frustrate the grace of God. You foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth. He said, Are you so foolish having begun in the spirit now you're made perfect by the flesh? Or your works? All right? So then, we see here that when the Lord got ready to fulfill it, whereas, the Bible said the law was added because of transgression until the seed should come, as to whom the promise was made. And when the seed came, as to Jesus, not as seeds of many, but of one. In Isaac shall the seed be called. That is, the promised son. When He came then that took care of it, because the promise was made to the Son. And through Thee shall all nations be bless. Or that is to say, grace given to all. And so then, in this when the seed came there was no longer any need for the law because the law was added because of transgression to let man know that they were not fulfilling the things of God, but they were continually stumbling and staggering, and just causing problems. And that's how that sin came to be imposed upon mankind, because the transgression of the law is sin. See? The Bible said when Adam sinned that for many years until the coming of the Law, that sin was not imputed unto those people. And neither was it imposed upon those people though they had sinned after the similitude of Adam, but having no knowledge of it, (Where there is no knowledge of sin, sin is not imputed.) But when the law came to bring the understanding of sin to show that we were contrary to God, as to the transgression, then sin came into view. So, Satan took advantage, and in taking advantage, in doing that then sin began to abound. But where sin did abound God gave the death of His Son, and grace doth much more abound and swallow it up. So then, the law was until John. It had served it's purpose and it had revealed sin, and now the Master has come to take away sin, as sin and death by one man, righteousness and life by one man. And so that ended it and put us under grace, and today we are the lovely children of God by grace. We have eternal life by grace. And we are His children. And if we are children then we are heirs and partakers of the wonderful benefit of God, having passed from death unto life we could never come into condemnation, because now the body of death that caused the problem is dead, buried in a watery grave in the lovely name of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So, it is with you to be buried with Him in His death, having put on His body, as to as many has been baptized with Christ they have put on Christ, and putting on His body then have you put on the wedding garment, and you are now ready for the supper, as to the feasting of this wonderful charitable gift of the Lamb Himself, which is the Word. Taste of Him and see if He is good. To eat of His flesh and drink of His blood, because if you don't you won't have any life in you, for the life is in the blood. All right. So then, we see that it's sealed on the back side. And so then, the seals must be loosed. At the end of the church ages then it shows what God has done. It shows what God has done, because this is just a little period now. See? At the end of the church ages here it is. John, the revelation, and the door open in heaven. The book is now given to the Lamb. Why is it given to the Lamb? Because the church ages are now over. See? The church ages are now over at that point. The fourth chapter, the church ages ended in the third chapter, and the fourth chapter the door is open in heaven as to the door Peter opened. Now, as to say Jesus, I am the door to the sheepfold. And all of a sudden it is said to John, as to the rapture of the Church, come up hither. And then when he went up there it indicated that the church ages was over, which means to you and I that the days of the Gentiles have come to an end. So in that then the Lamb took the book, and now the revelation, as to show what has taken place during this time. And as it was the Lamb. John said, as to this book of redemption, that all through heaven there was a search, all through earth there was a search, all under the earth there was a search. And no man in heaven nor in the earth, nor under the earth was found worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals to look thereon. And John said, I wept, and I wept, and I wept much, but a voice said to me, Weep not, John, for the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, even the seed as to whom the promise was made, He hath prevailed to open the book and to loose the seals thereof. Don't weep, John. So, he looked and there came rather than a lion, a lamb. (Begin tape one, side two.)...forth and took the book. And when He took the book, and when He took the book He began to loose the seals. No one could loose those seals, because there had been no one that ever lived that kind of life. There was no one that had ever lived holy. All of mankind from the very beginning, as in Adam all die, one blood stream, all sinful. And then there had to come the virgin birth, as to Jesus a new blood cell, a new blood life, and this had to be as to a separation from all other human beings. And this is why that when Jesus died and went down into the heart of the earth that hell couldn't hold Him, and death couldn't hold Him, because he was incorruptible. There was no corruption about Him. There was no wrong in Him. There was no guilt in Him. He was without fault. As Pilate said, I find no fault in this just man. So, having been delivered for our offenses, bruised for our transgression, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him by Whose stripes we are healed. I am the Lord God that healeth all of thy diseases. I forgive all of thine iniquities, and David of old said, Forget no all of His benefits, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord. So, we find that we rejoice because this has happened to us. And now the preacher has come to tell us what has happened to us. And the book is opened. And so then, we say, What has happened to us? As Paul receiving the revelation, but saying as in his day, that he could not make things known as to what he saw in the third heaven when he went up as Christ. It would not do that in that age; it was not lawful at that time. It was not in season for it to be made known. But now in our day we have come to a lawful age, as to whereas the children in the past could not know about the secret things, they all know now. They study it in the book. It's been made known, every natural thing running a parallel, even to the historical stride from the eastern world to the western as to natural recorded of his story, or history. And now we're going back to the other way as to the unveiling. It's still an historical stride, but not historical in the sense that historical comes from his story. It is historical to this extent that it is His story, which is Christ Jesus, His story which is God, or the story of the members of His body, and it is a spiritual unveiling as it goes back this time with the Church, not as to the world and their government, and their stride toward conquering, and as it was to the Spaniards when they landed over here from spain, and the conquest, and these different things that were here, and at Plymouth Rock when they came in, as to discover America, as to that, and as we say from the east to California with the gold rush, and now it's coming back from California, even as we've had these people to come in from California here as we said they would. It's coming back now. And Bush being raised up as the President. He's out glittering the stars, and now coming back. Coming back. See? It's moving back. It's got to move all the way back. It moved from here out to the Indian territory, as to the red man. We bring this out. We don't have time to do that tonight, but we bring it out on tape, as to where the river Jordan is found, as to the third dimension, and where the Red Sea is found in this third dimension, but now it's coming back. See? And it had to come back, as to from California all the way back out to that place at Tucson, Arizona, out into Tulsa, Oklahoma, out into the middle parts of the nation there. And there it had to go down, as to that sunset thing where Brother Branham was on the mountain at Sunset Mountain, as to Moses that brought the people out with great mighty signs and wonders, and then they died in the wilderness of the intellectual word of quotes. And then it was to be picked up. And we spoke of it concerning Martin Luther, even as to a natural type when Martin Luther came along, and what he had to do with, and how that he was like Moses. He had been to the mountain top and took a look, and after that he was killed, like that. We spoke of that before his death, and so it happened down the line just that way. See? And on and on, as people who are symbolic as to certain things. They are symbolic. You can't do anything about it, I can't do anything about it. Whatever happens in the world God has allowed it. And it's not because anybody has caused it, it is because the iniquity and the sin and corruption of people. Over in Bangladesh right now one devastation right after another devastation, and of course we want to blame God, but that's not true. God never does any of those things. Those people are Mohammed worshipers. Those people in the foreign fields will not listen to God. And somebody would say, Well, Brother Pike, we're missionaries and we're suppose to go over there and tell them this. But, Brethren, you forget that they were the ones that we came out from, and that as with Martin Luther in Germany, that is where all the schools sprang up. He was a German, as to the reformation. And then on that side of the ocean was where the Jew was and salvation came from the east, and they had their opportunity. Even in India and other places. I've been there as to the places where Thomas, like the great apostle, or another apostle, was there where they preached and they killed them there. And they went into darkness because they did not have it. And, folks, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever, America is killing them out, just like the Jews. They Jim Jones them. They don't want them. They make fun of them. They mock them. They call them Holy Rollers, everything they can think of. They put them down. You'll be hated for My name sake of all nations. But he that endureth until the end, the same shall be saved. And America is just about to go into darkness. Already they are translating their Bibles and they've got the new version of the Bible and they've hipped it up. And it's a hippy thing. I read a little bit in one of them, and it's blasphemy, and it's a disgrace to God Almighty. And they are changing the words, as to the King James Version unto something that will fit their understanding and their feeling about it. And the ministry is wholeheartedly endorsing it, and excepting it, which means God is gradually turning them over to a reprobate mind. Because they had not a love for the truth then God is letting them modify to their own intellectual reasoning that they may do their own thing. Like a little article I read to you not too long ago where these great leaders, religious leaders had come together and they had taken the King James Version and they had gone through it, and they had checked out all of these writings of Jesus that's in red, and when they got through there was just a very few of them that they say that we can actually use. And the rest of them they annulled them, that they are no good. No benefit, and that really nothing don't have to do with God. But yet it was God who was speaking. See? And they with their little ole finite minds, having some kind of brain storm like a computer out of control, some little tiny speck in the universe, he judges God and judges God's Word and sets down like an ignoramus to tell somebody, you know, what is right and what is not right. And he hasn't got enough sense to go to town and back by himself. Let's give the Lord a hand. Anybody that would do that ain't got enough sense to go to town and come back by themselves. All right. Maybe you think I'm a little harsh. Rude in speech, but not in knowledge. I can understand somebody making an error and misquoting, somebody making an error and maybe they left it out not knowing. But when scientists and people get together to do that, that's just absolutely foolishness. But, anyway, let's go on with our little thought here, and we'll close in a few minutes. So then, it's sealed on the back side, and it has to be opened. And there is only one that can open it, and that's the one that fulfilled it. He's the only one worthy that can come up and loose that book. And so he looses them one at a time, and this great wonderful knowledge of the Revelation of Almighty God it fills our heart and fills our soul. And who is it loosed to? It is loosed to his body, to his members. Who understands it? It is Him. The world doesn't see it. It's not loosed to the world, for the Bible says they shall not see when good cometh. But it is loosed to us. Why is it loosed to us? Because, as in this Word of God, when it is broken down, herein is the righteousness of God revealed from revelation to revelation, from one understanding to another understanding, as to a transformation of mind, as to one concept, or perception to another. Herein is the righteousness of God revealed. And so then, He reveals it. Now, it is given unto you to know the mysteries, Jesus said, as to the unveiling, but unto them it is not given. But it is given unto them that somebody should preach the Word to them to tell them the dos and don'ts of life, and the liberties of the Christian, and the death and bondage of them that reject God's Word. So then, it's very, very obvious that we must preach the gospel whether television, radio, whatever. Paul even made the statement, he said, whether the gospel be preached for contention, or otherwise, nevertheless the Word of God is going out, and herein I rejoice. But to you and I, the unveiling, it is the righteousness of God, because we are quickened by that, and the activation of those vibrants, that I spoke of, goes into our heart and into our spirit, and our spirit is translated into the marvelous spirit of eternal living; the spirit of Christ. There is no life except the spirit. And if you are in the spirit then you have life. If your spirit is translated into the spirit of life, even Christ Jesus' spirit then you have life. If it isn't translated into Christ's spirit you don't have any life. For he that hath the son hath life, and without the Son there is no life. You shall never see life. So then, we know that these words are spirit and life, because the Word was made flesh, as to the Son of God, and when we speak to you these words of spirit and life, as to the unveiling to the revelation, as being given unto you to know the mysteries, while the world cannot see it so you are going through your school as a college that has it's confines, closed within, those that are traveling to and fro, round as in the traffic, they never know. But then that are on the inside, as to the subject of that, they are getting this indoctrination. And so it is with you. You're being filled with this wonderful understanding of God from faith to faith, glory to glory. And Enoch was translated by faith, which means that it is given to you proportionally by measure as a little bit, and a little bit, and little bit to where you can grasp it, because at the coming of the bright light at the end of the age all of a sudden there comes that devastation because the light is so bright everything is consumed. So we are transformating into the light and becoming one with the light, as to a one, two, three from the inner part to the outer man. That means that we're coming into this greatness, and into this light as to the unveiling of this wonderful revelation as herein is the righteousness of God revealed, as from faith to faith because God's righteousness is given to you by faith, and your heart is sanctified by faith. And if you don't believe it's impossible to please God, as to have union and fellowship with God, because it's by faith that your heart is sanctified, and it's through that sanctification and that cleanliness that the spirit of life enters into your heart. All right. So then, we praise God for this, and this is why we should do everything we can, as to have a clear conscience so that we will have confidence and believe in God. And I say this again here in kind of bringing my thoughts to a close. I say this, that is to say, the church ages being over, as to being over then all of a sudden what happens? See? Down at the end of the church ages the revelation that John saw is made manifest here, it's given as to the end of the Bible, the last part of the Bible. And yet is was just a few short years after Calvary that John got it. So, obviously it has been working through the church ages, going down through the church ages, and now the seven-fold expose of it is here, and this light is so bright as to the expose, even the light as to understanding. Your understanding being enlightened as to comprehend the height, the depth, the width, and the length, as to the mysteries, knowing that this light shined in darkness, as to the intellectual reasoning of the human being, and they are not able to comprehend this light because they cannot see light. They are creatures of darkness and they cannot see good when good cometh, because they do not have eyes of understanding to see. All right. But you have eyes of understanding. You have ears to hear what the spirit is saying to the church. You have eyes to see, as to what God is doing, and always that that the Father does, you do. So, at the end of the church ages it happens because all of a sudden it's time for the seven years of tribulation to join itself to the four hundred and eighty-three years that was brought up to Calvary. And then it is no more that door that is open. If I shut the doors back there there is no more a gap. I can look for here out to the flag and the fountain, but if the doors are closed then that means wall to wall joins. See? And there is no more break in the wall. And if the seven is taken from the four eighty-three and then church ages come, as to a heavenly thing, as to the door open in heaven, and ye that are in heaven, these things taking place in heaven, the expose as to the ark through the rent veil, as to the open doors, then that means that you see this. See? And then when it is over the doors are closed and all of them that are blind they don't see that. And the Jews come back in, having been blinded in part, all of a sudden the veil falls from the their eyes, but it is when they are brought back to Calvary. Seven cut off, pull over here, then when it comes back to Calvary like a rick rack, a ball coming back right here, joins itself, it then becomes as the four hundred and ninety years, or that is to say the seven years start in stride as to the four hundred and ninety years that were determined upon Daniel's people to make an end, because I say again, from Daniel's day there wasn't but four hundred and ninety years left of the world. Just four hundred and ninety years. And again, a person would say, Well, what about all these hundreds of years, Brother Pike, that has been in between that time. It has been heaven. I know you don't believe that. You don't understand that, some of you do. Whether you believe it or not, you know, it's still real. It's still there, and now the door, as to the heavenly age is fixing to close and then the seven years will come back, and it will be just four hundred and ninety years, just like the angel said, and that upon Daniel's people who represents them that are without, as to those that are cast out of the presence of God at this time. All right. So they'll be coming back in. That means that that's why the revelation took place at the end of the church ages, and this is why the coming of the Lord was at the end of the church ages. Luke, I read it to you there, 21, I turned over to Revelation 6, and there it was in Revelation 6, as to the fulfillment of what Jesus said. And so it is that he was talking to the Jews though He said, What I say to one I say to all, as to allegorically He was speaking to the world. But nevertheless, as to parabolic speech, you know, so that they could not understand the mysteries, because it was not given to them, but unto them it's given to understand all of these wonderful things that our Heavenly Father does in His parabolic activity in life. All right. So then, we see that it's getting late, real late, and the Church is ready to, her light is ready to go out in the world, because he is right down at the finishing line now as to her diplomacy, and that means that all these things are the fulfillment of time. LIke I was praying a few days back and I heard that voice that said the signs of the times is gone, I believe it said. I can't remember what it was now. We've got it on tape here somewhere. Exactly, the signs of the times. The signs of the times are gone. And so then, the signs of the times have been fulfilled. And Jesus called the people hypocrites that could not see them; that did not see them. Said, You are hypocrites. You discern the face of the weather and as to the signs of the times you can't discern those things, and you are hypocrites. So then, we've been able to discern the signs of the times in watching, because we have eyes to see. And we know now it is nigh, even at the door. So then, with this we sing that song, Are You Ready For The Bridegroom To Come? All right let's stand together. Maybe we ought to sing that little chorus, Frank. (Sings Are You Ready For The Bridegroom To Come?) Can you sing that with me? (Continues singing.) Sing that again. (Continues singing.) Do you love Him? Are you ready for the Bridegroom to come? Hallelujah! The Bible said at the midnight cry, the cry was given and He said, Go ye out to meet him. And the Bridegroom came and took them all away while the others didn't have any oil in their lamps. This is why I say that you need the spirit. You may be a believer but unless you've got the spirit you don't have any oil in your lamps. You may be as to what is referred to as a religious person, a Christian in the world, because these were accounted for as virgins, five foolish and five wise, but the five wise knew that they had to have the Holy Ghost. They had to have the oil. They had to have the spirit, and the others, they said, Our oil is gone. Our lamps are gone out. Now, the question arises, Why did their lamps go out? They apparently had light. Why did it go out? Because the world is a religious reflector of this wonderful light of the children of God. And they have a light, because right now the blood is on the Seat of Atonement, and because of that the grace is coming down, the rain on the just and the unjust, the tear and the wheat, which means they do have a light, for the grace of God, as to the Church, the light of the world. But the thing is, that oil is given of God. They don't contain that oil. They are only illuminated with that light, and when the children's light goes out, their light is gone. And it is said at the midnight cry the cry came. I brought this little thing out to you about the way the Jews are in their marriage, as to a man that will come and court a girl. He will talk to her, he will prefer her. He will make his offer, as to wanting her for his bride, then he must go away and build a house. And during this time that he is gone she must remain faithful. He goes to build her a house, and she remains faithful during that time. And then it comes to pass at a certain time when all of this is finished, before this he gives her to drink of his wine, and she does. And then, after that going away, you know, like at Pentecost, the wine, and then going away. Finally he comes back at an unexpected hour. Might be a long time, but she remain faithful. And all during the night she keeps her lamp, and she keeps oil in her lamp. And she's ready just at any minute to rise up and trim the wick and light it, because what he'll go, he'll come off, like in the distance, and he'll give a cry. There'll be a cry. There'll be somebody that will run out like a forerunner and cry, Behold, the bridegroom is here. Usually about twelve o'clock at night, or whatever, and she jumps up out of the bed and she scrambles around and she lights her light, and she's got her lamp, and then she goes away with him to become his bride. So see? That's the way it is. Like a thief in the night, as to the midnight cry, and He'll be coming back. And if you don't have His spirit, you're none of His. Don't think that you're the bride of Christ because of all this Charismatic praising of God, and hollering and going on and shouting, and living life the world, and doing the things of the world. If the love of the world is in you the love of the Father is not there. The love of the Father is His Son, His spirit. If you have His spirit it will mortify the deeds of the flesh. It will make you turn away from the things of the world. You'll forget about that fleshly exuberance and you will transformate in mind, as to the wonderful will of God to do His will, and you'll want to be found in His will giving your body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which the Bible said is your reasonable service. If you have the glitter and glamour of the world in your eyes and thoughts and whatever, then are you the serpent seed. And then you have to remember that. So I just said that to say this, that what we need to do, we need to be ready when the Bridegroom comes. Okay. Can we sing another little chorus? Let's sing the song, We Love Him. We sing this quite often. (Sings I Love Him.) Can you sing it with me? (Continues singing.) You know, I've got a feeling that you people here at Bethlehem are going to be without excuse. I've got a feeling that you understand, that you are not ignorant, that you understand, and it's going to be required of you. To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is a sin, and the soul that sinneth shall surely die. And I've got a feeling that you understand, because I've made it very plain in all of my sermons, as to what God is, and what you are, and what He has for you, and what we should do to obtain it, what He expects of us. I believe that you are altogether without excuse, whether you live it or don't live it, or whether you testify of it to someone else, I believe that you know. And God's going to require it of you. So then, if you love me, as the song writer says, then you'll keep my commandments. And if you don't keep my commandments then you don't love me, for love is not in words, but in deed. And if you love me then you'll keep my commandments. (Continues singing.) Do you really love Him? Do you walk as He does? Do you walk as He does? Is your desire the same as His desire? He's the same yesterday, today, and forever to a thousand generations. The desire of your heart, what is it? Is it a desire to do as the commandments and keepings of God? Or is it a desire to do the things of the world? What is it? If the desire of the world is in you the desire of the Father isn't there. I'd rather be an old time Christian. (Continues singing.) If we keep His commandments. (Continues singing and sings Every Promise In The Book Is Mine.) Sing it with me, now. (Continues singing.) Let's sing this little chorus. Give me another key. (Sings I Claim Jesus First Of All.) Can you sing it again? (Continues singing.) Can you sing it one more time? (Continues singing.) One more time. (Continues singing.) Let's sing this little chorus. (Sings Working The Road To Glory. Begin tape two, side one. Continues singing and sings At The Cross.) You know, yesterday we were talking to some of the Brethren and bringing out the present day truth, and my little Adam came down there. I see Adam coming up, dropping the offering in the basket. And my little Adam came up, and while we were talking he got up in my lap, and I was telling the Brethren, I said, If you were as innocent as this little child, the Bible said, less you become as a little child, that is to say, be born again, you shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. But I said, If you was as innocent as little Adam, I said, It would be wonderful. Little Adam plays a great part, as to a revelational thing that some of you are not acquainted with. But nevertheless, everybody is important in the sight of God. You know, it's like I told them yesterday. We're nearing the crossing, and things are happening, and I wish we were spiritual. And Paul said, I'd like to speak unto you as unto spirituals, and I wish we had time to stay with the Lord. Like a man told me over in a car lot yesterday. We'd rode off to get a little bit to eat, and stopped at this car lot. David Paul wanted to stop there, and this black man came out. He was real exuberant, trying to sell us a car and he'd come down from Chicago, I believe, in this area. He took some of our literature, and some of the others took some of our literature. And some of them connected with Kenneth Hagans. The boy that owned the place there, he sold Kenneth some cars. But anyway, while we were talking he said, the way we worship God, he said, we start along in the morning. I don't know whether it's about eight o'clock, or something like that. And he said, And at ten o'clock at night we quite. Said, That's the way we go to church. And I thought that was pretty good. That's pretty good. T thought that was all right. See? And that's the way you are suppose to do. In the olden days they would put the children in the buggy, or in the wagon, and they would prepare their dinner when they fixed breakfast. Get up real early, and not the modern convenience, but they still fixed a good solid dinner. And they took with them, and when they got to the church they had their morning service, and then the men went out in the woods this way, and the ladies went out in the woods this way, and they prayed until night. And then they come back in their services. They come back, they eat their supper, or whatever it was, you know. Like they eat breakfast over here this morning, and they eat dinner when they got out of church, go pray and then they come back. They have a service and then they go home for their supper. See? And they give all day long. They call it the Lord's Day, especially on Sunday. Lay aside everything, you know. Paul said, when I come have no gathering. Quit it all, stop it, let's have revival. You know, you can gather your crops another time, he said. All right. Then other times he said, gather all this before I get there so you'll have to give to the poor. And there will be no gathering when I come. But, I thought about that, you know. We wondered why they had miracles and why they had healings, and why that God was with them. In the early church they broke bread from house to house with singleness of heart. No one said anything was his. They were all together. All as Pentecost in one mind and one accord to do the will of the Father, to have the mind of Christ. And their only desire was, my body to you Lord, as a living sacrifice. They had no time for the things of the world. I say this so often. Women don't need to paint their face and pretty it up, and twist their hair, and curl it around, and all these kind of things. They don't need to do that. Someone would say, Well, you have to remember, Brother Pike, I'm trying to hold my husband. Well, I'll tell you what, a lot of hair twisting ladies have lost them, and some stringy haired girls have got them. I've seen men that was suppose to be the handsome thing that really though they were God's gift to women, and I've seen women frown on them, and spit in their face as we say, and walk off and leave them, and get a man that was so rugged, you'd take a look at him and you'd think, Well, what did she see in him? But you know what she saw? She saw character. She saw security. She saw a real man. Do you know what she saw in that other? She saw as a doll in a window that when the weather gets bad the paint will come off, and the man saw the same thing in his wife. When he got the paint off he found out she was like a wild cat, and didn't have no character, cursing, and snorting, and wanting to do party and do the things of the world, and wouldn't dress decent and she wasn't his wife, she was everybody's girl friend, you know. And when he gives her a car she rides around to her boyfriend. When he gives her money she goes to the vain jangling from store to store, buying, packing up like a pack rat, and painting her face like a Jezebel with an old devil of lust. Somebody say Hallelujah. We're talking about the street called straight. The Bible said, Paul, go down to the street called straight. If you're having some problems just go down to the street called straight. He'll tell you what to do. All right. So, we're not going to get into preaching this morning. We're just king of exhorting you a little. But, folks, a young girl will say, Well, Brother Pike, I've got to pretty up because I'm looking for my beau. I want my boy friend. Well, maybe you do have to, I don't know. Maybe you won't get a boy friend unless you do. The Bible said in that day there will be seven women after every man, trying to get his name to take away their reproach, because they've tried to be every thing, you know. And the pretty girls, the men don't want them. They are looking for a wife, you know, real men, and the ones that get the pretty girls as devils and demons, they are whoremongers, and they are looking for prostitutes to begin with. So, you perch out on the side, you know, to get out there with the gang, just prowl all night long like a bunch of dogs. But anyway, the Bible says, and that's what I have to go by. Everything else is shaky. Faith by the hearing of the Word, and everything else to me is shaky. And the Bible said for you young ladies, and you young men, to seek ye the Kingdom of God first. It said if you are a man or a woman, and you be called to God, not having a companion, don't go looking for a companion. And Paul said, it is better if you can abide as I, anyway, having no necessity, just remain as I, because you are just going to have problems if you marry. Trouble in the flesh, for the married careth how they can please the wife, or the husband, but he that's the unmarried careth about things, how he can please God. And it remaineth that very shortly it will be as though you had no husband, or wife. Because all that's going to be passed. In heaven they neither marry, nor or given in marriage. They are as spirits, or the angels. But nevertheless, I said that to say this. And the Bible said not to seek a companion, but seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all of these other things will be added unto you. He will add your wife unto you. He will add your husband unto you. He will add the blessings unto you. He will give you the right kind, but if you go picking on your own you're going to get the wrong thing. You know, if you go to buy a car you need to take an expert with you. Let him pick it out, you know, because some of us we don't know that much about mechanics, and if it's polished and it looks good we say that's what we want. The lust of the eyes. So, folks, we need to look around a little bit, and we need to get in the Word and put our believing in the Word, and after awhile you'll find something that's real good. Don't go marry outside, find a Christian. I don't mean a polished hypocrite, somebody that's a reflector, but find you a Christian. Find you a Christian boy, find you a Christian girl, for the Bible said marriage is honorable in all. See? And you don't sin if you marry. To get a companion, that's good, the Bible said, but the thing is, get you a child of God. Two can't walk together less they be agreed. The temples of God have no fellowship with the temples of Belial. God will not unequally yoke you together, because you are unequal. One is a child of darkness and of the devil, and one is a child of light. Seek ye a Christian. And when you get one, ladies, honor your husband in all things. And husbands when you get a girl remember that is a child of God, a daughter of the Lord. As she reverences you as a son of God, you reverence her as a daughter of the Lord, to love her as Christ loved the Church. The Bible said they deal not treacherously against the wife of thy youth, for God hateth putting away. No man has ever abused his own body, but he loveth his own body. She's your flesh. He nourishes, he cherishes his own flesh. So do ye also unto the wife. See? So seek the Kingdom of God, and then God will give you a companion for you are free to be married only in the Lord. All right. Can we sing another chorus or two as we go to close here now. I didn't mean to keep you so long. I'm just saying these things because you are my household and this is the way I talk to my natural daughters, my natural sons. Let's sing this. Give me another key. (Sings Room At The Cross.) Can you sing that with me? (Continues singing.) You see these little ones standing around here, my little boys and girls? A lot of times they come up. This is a new crop. My I wish we could speak in Revelation, but it's a new crop. From the time that they are little they are learning the truth, and they are growing up to make an end of sin that there won't be nothing in between, by the time they get your age. And then God can wipe everything else off of His table, as to the vomit, everything. See? And He is bringing knowledge to where the Bible said the heavens declare his handiwork, and the earth is full of the knowledge of God. And it really is, if you get in the spirit of Revelation everything will revelate to you, and you'll see, as it was said in that day how the heavens declared His handiwork in the days of Enoch when He was educated in the things of God enough that he was translated that he should not see death. See? And God is making you people wiser and wiser, and the little children are learning more and more, because between the aged and the youth there cannot be a gap when the end of the world comes, as to immaturity and lack of development. So, as to one must touch the other, as to the aged, the youth, and as the Bible said, And he that ploweth, the sow man, he shall sow until he overtakes the plow man. See? And after awhile it will all come together, the four eighty-three, as to the Gentiles and the Jews, the seven. And with that the door is closed to the Gentile Church, and then everybody learning and learning, and learning and learning, and being exposed to things that children use to would not dare expose them to. Now, all the way down there's no gap anymore. From that age of the Bar Mitzvah, to be about the Father's business, to be an example. Everything in between has already had opportunity to seek God, for to know to go good and do it not it is a sin. To then that knoweth not to do good it is not a sin. And being cold the blood prevails, the grace. Being hot the spirit of God is with you, as to a burning fervency toward God. Be zealous toward Christ. To be in between means the world has heard the gospel, to every creature it has gone, and them that are lukewarm I'll spew you out of my mouth. Stand at the door and won't come in, hindering the others. Pharisees, Scribes, having the law but none of you keep it. Hypocrites, Jesus said. Whited sepulchres that appear beautifully, religiously beautiful, but full of dead men's bones. And unawares the children stumble and stagger and fall into that pit. So, so it is, and as they said to Jesus, But we didn't kill the prophets. He said, but you are the children of them that did, and you are the ones that garnished the tomb. All right. Unawares men fall into these things. You as a mind of corruption, you are a sepulchre. You are dead while you live. Inwardly, as to the spirit, it is dead, as to plucked up by the roots. Outwardly you are a grave, as to do not appear, in that living in trespasses and sin you are dead while you live. The Gentile seeking after the things of the world, they are wanting those things. And you've took the house of God, as Jesus said, as to this being here, and inwardly you've made it a place of money changers, as to your human desire, and gullible desire for the frivolous beggarly elements of the world, as to which you are in bondage as to the bondage child. As the old child of bondage you are fastened to it through your human senses, and you can't get away from it because if the love of the world is in you, the love of the Father is not there. But you that have overcome that, Satan has been cast out of the heart, and the Kingdom of God has been set up within it, and the spirit of Christ, even the Kingdom of God, and the treasures of heaven as of this heavenly treasure in earthen vessels is within your innermost being. And you are an epistle that's known and read of all men. You are the body of Jesus, and some day your fame and your prestige, and your glory, and your wealth will appear as Jesus that outshined the brightness of the noonday, as to the sun shining within it's strength, as glistened so beautifully on the Mount of Transfiguration when the Bible said His garments were made whiter than any fuller's soap on earth could whiten them. All right. Let's sing this little chorus. Give me another key. (Sings Come Into My Heart.) We're glad to have Bob's mother here again with us today. It would be wonderful if all the people around the world could move to Little Bethlehem and be part of our operation, but that's not to be because everybody has a job, and everywhere they must do the job to win souls. And as going to a college and then going back out, as to your proper place, as to do your work and thing in life, in that we are our brother's keep, and every man is given something, as to contribute to humanity, then we have to do that. But we are one unit. The saying, united we stand, divided we fall, we all see eye to eye. We're all brothers and sisters. A brother may go off to a far land, a sister may go off to a far land. They may do whatever they have to do. They may have great families, and great wealth, but they're all brothers and sisters. They're blood of blood and bone of bone. And wherever we're at, as to around the world, in that the messages go around the world, then we're brothers and sisters. We are one, even as Bethlehem, I say this so often. Paul said, You're faith being spoken of throughout the world, so we are all one body. And Jesus said, I've got sheep that are not of this fold, them I will bring. And then all, as to the chief shepherd shall be one flock and one fold. And we are knitted together with the bond of charity, as to love one another. Not untempered man made mortar, of theology and ideas, as to what you think and I think, and old wives fables. Jesus said as to that, not one stone shall be left upon another, but all of that shall be cast down, but when they tried to divide his robe there was no seams in it. The covering of God is complete. Let's lift our hands up, close our eyes. Let's sing this little chorus, Brother Taylor. (Sings Time Shall Be No More.) Time to be born, and time to die. (Continues singing.) And the Bible said in the fullness of time He sent forth His Son, made of a woman, and made under the law to redeem them that are under the law. And now comes your day, and now comes your Calvary, and now comes time no more for you, for you died at Calvary. A time to be born and a time to die, and so it was with you. And them that were appointed unto death God looked down and heard the groaning of the prisoners, loosed them that was appointed unto death and succored them in a day accepted, as to that wonderful day of salvation. And today you have salvation, which means deliverance from death, for the Bible said the anointing breaks the yoke. It dispels the gloom of night. It brings to you eternal life. And you have this heavenly treasure in your earthen vessels. And folks, submit to it, conform to it, walk after it, because everybody doesn't have this within them. And this wonderful treasure of the spirit of Christ it will be made manifest in your mortal genes to beautify the meek with salvation to bring immortality into your very genes, as to your human chemistry. All of the world and their brilliance of scientific research they can't find this, because God has hid it from them, even from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and made it revelation unto babes such as will learn. And He told us to pray that God would grant unto us the spirit of revelation that these things might be revealed to us, even Christ within you that hope of glory. Or the glory that was seen on the mountain in the transfiguration, or that will transfigurate you. While you've got your hands up, got you eyes closed, your heads bowed or lifted up to heaven to God, while we're standing here I'm going to ask Brother Richard from California if he'll come up and dismiss us. And as Richard comes to pray with us we're certainly glad to have Richard. His wife will be down in about a month and I really believe that Richard has got a real sincerity. I believe he's a sincere person that loves the Lord with a sincere spirit. And I believe he's interested in his soul, his little wife's soul, and his friends and neighbors and people's soul around the world from just talking with him. And as he comes to pray let's reference the Lord. Don't forget the services tonight. We're growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus to the full measure of that full stature of eternal strength, eternal riches, eternal power, eternal youth, and the magnificence of that glorious God. Brother Richard.
