The Revelation Of The Mystery

Well things are still happening, great and mighty things as I so often think of the vision that we saw in heaven. So many times that I think about it. Let's read in chapter 16 the book of Romans if you have your Bibles, you read with me. If I cough a just a little bit or sniff you just pray for me. Chapter 16 the book of Romans the seventeenth verse. (Reads Romans 16:17-20) All right now notice here he says, Mark them which cause division and offenses. These divisions and offenses he said which is contrary to the doctrine of godliness which you've learned and have been taught. He said for they that confess to be preachers and to be Christians, churches, whatever it might be, they are not serving the Lord Jesus, but they are servants of their own bellies, that they set up their churches for incomes and for fame and for popularity, and all of these kind of things. You know a lot of things are happening. We had made the statement that the stars would fall from heaven; and as to that which had to do with the spiritual perspective that all of the lights would go out. Which had to do with great men like Oral Roberts, William Branham, T.L. Osborne, Billy Graham, Jack Coe and numbers and numbers of others that are television artists and different people. And so it has been that one right after another they have either died out, went out, something has happened to wreck their ministry or they've went off into a state of apostasy or into foolishness. And whether authentic or not I heard a report today as to something concerning Junior Grant as to channel ll is it, what is it? Eleven Alive something like that, maybe, maybe that's not the same one. Or is there something called Twenty in the news? Does anybody know? Anyway whatever it is they say that they've set up something and they planned a little thing as to having an actor to go into Junior's services; and then when they checked the thing out that there was something there that I had mentioned a long time ago, a number of years ago, and they found it to be exactly the way that we had made mention of it. And there was a big thing and they had it on tv and also Tilden. What's his name? I believe it's Tilden. Anyway whatever his name is; he's one of the big famous ones that's on tv. I may be pronouncing it wrong. It might not be the correct pronounciation but somewhere in the neighborhood of it. And then there was another Larry Lee. And they say that they had exposed all three of them and found that it to be a fictitious thing. And then of course we had also spoke about something that would happen pretty directly in what we understood. We had spoke about these men at times, the different ones of them and what would happen. And we had spoke also about the man that they speak of being in the Glass House. How that something would occur and sure enough it did. It occurred to the extent that he had to have an operation on his head or brain or something. And it's a bad situation. But I said that to say this that it has happened the way that God had revealed it to us that all these things have happened and the lights have gone out, gone out, gone out to magnify the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Because the Revelation of Jesus Christ is the coming of the Lord. And the Bible said, And He alone in that day shall be exalted. So then God hath made it so that He is going to exalt His Son and there isn't going to be anything else left. And as I said to some of them yesterday I said it appears that many ministers are coming on the scene. You look everywhere and you think, Well, many ministers that's coming on the scene since the real patriarchs of God are dropping out or things are going out. But it isn't that at all. What it is there's a lot of people coming on the scene that talks about being in the ministry and acts like they're in the ministry but it's only a showmanship and the light of the gospel is going out. Just like we said about this depression that would come in and we spoke of it a number of times just like we did the draught that hit a number of years back when we seen everything to turn into powder; and sure enough in spite of what the President has done and said, in spite of what all the people have said about it's rising, today the report was that the stock market fell again. And that people are really depressed, and men that have been on their jobs thirty and forty years I believe are losing their jobs. I heard somebody say in that they were watching television and saw these things in the last few hours and that now people are so stirred that they're almost to the point of panic. So it's still happening just the way that God said. You know when God reveals something and God shows something, there is no such thing as it going another way. I know that we as people we have a tendency to speculate and think too highly of ourself and to say things because we want attention and we want it to look like we said it and we want it the way that it should go. And people in their carnal mind as the old bondschild of their intellectual reasoning trying to bring a definition as to their own glory and refusing to glorify God or to follow the visions of God or the Word of God, see, they always accuse the free child that's trying to help them and tell them the truth. But anyway as a result of all this it always happens the same way; that God always wins out. His Word always wins out. It always has. It always will. No matter what Brother Pike says or you say or the President says or anybody else. It will be exactly one hundred per cent the way that God said it. It's always been that way. It always will be that way. And nobody can change it. They might mock and they might say whatever they want too. But it's like David of old. When David of old was mocked he was out on the hill side and his brothers mocked him when he come over there. But they could not win the battle, neither did they defeat the giant, but David with his little slingshot did. Let's give the Lord a hand. So then God chose the foolish and abase things of the world to confound the wise. Revealing Himself in simplicity and that that seems to be naught, He used it to bring to naught that which seems to be. And so then it was that David just had a sling shot and a rock, and the others had swords and they had all the garrison and they had all of the shields and whatever they needed for battle but David said, I've not proved these, but I have proven the little slingshot. That is I don't know whether the sword will do the job or not because I didn't use a sword to kill the bear with nor the giant, but I've proved that this little slingshot will kill the bear and the giant; and I trust, or the bear and the lion that is, and I trust it to kill the giant and so it worked out real good. All right so then we see that the lights are falling. So if the lights are falling that means what? When the lights go out that means the end of the day. That means that evening has now come. The shades of evening are beginning to move in; because if the lights are going out it's for sure that darkness is on it's way. And sure enough gross darkness is covering the people. It's moving in. And more darkness and more darkness is taking over. And with that comes the antichrist, with that comes that where the Bible says, There will be no healing medicines and they're gnaw their tongues for pain and devils and demons will literally eat them like worms. They'll be subjected to horrible, hideous things and tortures and torments; and it will be to the extent that God will allow that for just a few days as we say and then He will pour out His wrath upon the darkness, upon the antichrist and they will gnaw their tongues for pain. But we're on the verge of this where the Bible speaks of the bottomless pit being opened, and out of that comes the locust and out of that comes all of these things that had the hideous teeth to devour, the long hair like women and the sting that was like unto the serpent and all these other things. Already you might not see it, I might not see it but they that are spiritual see it. Because the Bible said that they judge all things, and yet they themselves could be judged of no man. All right so we know then the lights are going out. We know the evening time is here. Now if the lights go out there is as I said, I've been out in the woods at night praying way back by myself in the woods. And I've seen it get so dark. They use to say: dark as forty-nine black cats. I use to see it get so dark the lights would go out, all the way out. And then all the way out when the lights was gone all the way out, then between that and the coming of the daystar there would be that one lone star which is called His star, His star. That that lead the wise man to Jesus, the bright, the morningstar. The evening star, the bright, the morning star. These things have great significance. And so then during the time if the lights are now going out then that means that there is a star that is appearing. And this star is His star which is the revealing of the Christ or the Revelation of Jesus the Christ. And now it's being revealed because that is the coming of the Lord. First it is the Christ as to being revealed to the spiritual Jew as to the spiritual head which is Christ. And with that as to appear suddenly within His temple that He might be glorified within His saints, and all the world may come and kneel before them and know that He hath loved them. And so then in that He will make Himself known to the world through His saints. And in this when that happens then out goes the church, and there He is before the Jews with the nails in His hands. And they will mourn for days as they are coming to Him and a nation will be born in one day when they say, Where did you get the nails? And He'll say, I got them in the house of my friends. These nailprints were given to Me in the house of my friends. Just as He said to Judas, Friend, why betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss? Judas was suppose to be His friend. He was with the apostles and stayed with them and was suppose to be His friend. But anyway in the house of His friends they betrayed Him. Peter denied Him. Supposed to be His friend, but he cursed and denied that he ever knew Him when things begin to get a little bit tight. You know this is one thing that I'm well aware of in the world today that people when things get a little squeezy, things get a little tight, every man will run to his own house and let the house of the Lord lay waste. But you know it's so beautiful the way God makes provisions and the way God looks at things. And when you trust God everything always works out right. People's going to mock you. When you start talking about faith, and faith will do this and faith will do that and we're going to trust God. People are going to mock you that's for sure. But it doesn't make any difference. It still works. Faith still works. And you just go right on anyway. They mocked David. That didn't bother David. He just took His little sling. He knew what he was doing. He knew he could handle that giant. Because he wasn't going there with a sling shot and a rock. God only used that as a foolish thing to them great soldiers with their weapons. See whereas the Bible said, The weapon of our warfare is not carnal but mighty through the pulling down or the casting down of strongholds and the putting down imagination, bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ. See and they mock us because they've got to have a gun and pack a pistol on their side and a badge and they got to have a sword and all these kind of things. But the Bible said, The battle is not to the strong. The race is not to the swift. The battle is the Lord's. And so then not everyone that runs in the race wins the race, but he that runneth according to the rules. And we're running according to the rules, for this is the rule book even the Bible. So then we know for sure that we're going to win. David was confident when he started out he did not start out with the thought that what if he kills me or what if I fail. He started out with the thought that faith was in his heart and his little sling of faith as we would say in this day and the stone that was hued out of the mountain of that Word of God was well fitted there. And when David went down to the brook, picked out them little stones he knew everything was all right. And it was said that he picked up five of them as someone has said, f a i t h and J e s u s. And that he secured his whole kingdom because of this man having those brothers and he picked out one for every brother; and it is true that during the time of David's administration that his men as great valiant men they killed these giants and brought to the end the thing concerning the giants. And this was the thing that God spoke of as when the children of Israel came out of Egypt, started over into Canaan, the Lord warned them, said, Don't worry about the giants. I'm well able to take care of you. But when they got over there and they saw the giants they said, these fellows are so big we look like grasshoppers. And even though the grapes of Eschol are beautiful and we've seen these wonderful things, you know, somebody says, I see all of that but the giants is just too much and they go back to their wallowing in the mire. So then their eyes have been opened and people see wonderful things. But they testify of the giants. It's a giant. It's a giant of opposition. They can't fast and they can't pray and they can't deny themselves and they can't take time to study the Word and they can't stop their gossiping and backbiting and they can't live an overcoming life. And they can't love their neighbor as their self. And they can't submit themselves one to another nor unto the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. They can't seek the welfare of another. They can't look on the things of another, on and on they go with the giant. And they just can't make it in. But I thank God because the elect will make it in. And through the foreknowledge of God they have made it in. And now we're on the verge of revealing as to who is the elect and who is not the elect and who hath been the elect from the foundation of the world; and in this they that are not the elect were before ordained of old unto condemnation as ungodly men turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, denying the Lord God that made them. We're on the verge of the great differentiating of showing who is godly and who are gods and who are beasts. You know the one thing like I was telling somebody today, we are gods. Let me read this right here. Let me remind you of this one Scripture right here. "For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good and simple concerning evil." (Romans 16:19, 25) The Bible said they're wise to do evil and not good. And he said here concerning this he said, "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,". See, that is the Lord establishing you and that in the mystery of the faith or the mystery of the revelation. Paul was the bringer forth of the mystery of the revelation. And the reason for that is you know this would do us good to stop and think right here. Because the reason for this is because God is a Spirit. And God is seeking a spiritual bride. And God as a Spirit is provoking to jealousy a natural nation called Israel saying that, I will be found of them, that they didn't know me. And I'll be sought by them that they never knew anything about Me. Or I'll go unto the Gentiles. And Paul shook his raiment as he preached saying, Your blood be upon your own head as to the Jews and saying, I go to the Gentiles. Before of old he said, These were ordained unto this condemnation, ungodly men that will not believe, having an evil heart of unbelief. Having hardened their heart as to that against the right thing and opening their heart to that which is the wrong thing. But they that were before of old ordained unto eternal life they believe and the rest did not believe. So then as to harden your heart in that you are greedy and gullible toward the natural things and the fleshly things; and all of your time is spent in study and concern and desire for the natural, tangible securities of life, and thus you become firm and hard and solid. You become conceded in your way. And then when this other thing as to sacrifice or to love God or to give or to do away with your convenience and to come and follow God, you can't do that. You're not tender anymore, because you are hardened to the things of tenderness as to God as to self-denial and to serve God. And you are wise to do evil and not wise to do good at all. All right so then like I said, You know even Satan he said to Adam and Eve, he spoke to Eve and he said, Eve, why not eat of this tree of knowledge? Why not do that? And then he said, We were told that we were not to do that. He said He did that because he knows that in the day that you eat of this tree, you will be wise. Your eyes will be opened and then ye shall know that ye are gods. He didn't say it like that, did he? He said, And ye shall be as gods. Actually what it was Satan knew that they were gods. He knew that they were gods and that they were put there in that garden. And he knew that they were gods. And he knew that all that God had made in the garden and out of the garden, for the garden was in the corner of Eden as we say, the east part of Eden. And all of the world that God had made, he knew belonged to Adam and Eve. And he knew that they were gods. And what He desired to do was subject their understanding and their way of life to himself that he might infiltrate, go in there and get between that life on the inside and God who was the life that furbishing and refurbishing that light. And get in that body as to that flesh, make that thing as to a beast body, because he knew that it was made out of the dust. And he knew it was no more than a beast, because he himself was a god. Satan was a god. He was an angelic being. He knew what God was. And he knew that Adam and Eve was made out of that dust. And that if he could get between that life in there and take this body and become infiltrated within the flesh, he could weave a web about that soul and about that life, and that he could control that life, separate that life from God, and that life was in the presence of God; and he could project himself as to his greedy, gullible desire through their life as to that body. And God could not get to this life because he knew that God could not look upon iniquity. And he knew that he was the ruler of the darkness. As to this intellectual thing where God had cast him out. And there he was the ruler of the darkness. And when God came forth the Bible said that this whole world was nothing but darkness. He came forth and when the light came forth, there was darkness upon the face of the deep. But when the Word presented itself, which was Jesus, then the battle started as to the light. He was the presentation of the light. For He was the express image of the light. He was the very likeness of God. He was the utterance from the bosom of the Invisible. And when the oral expression came, all things was made by the oral expression and through him all things came to pass as it said, Let there be. And without that expression there was nothing that was made. And he is the God of all things because the god means object of worship. And without Jesus as to the Word being made flesh, there is nothing between us and God as to an object of worship. So then that means that as to let there be light and there's light today, that same Word utters forth through the members of that body which is the express image of God. That is to say, you and I, for we're the temples of the Holy Ghost. God tabernacles in us. He walks in us. He talks in us. And if we could ever subdue our body to the extent that we will make it to be in harmony with this Christ that we have on the inside through new birth in that we have this Christ, if you've been born again. If you have not this Christ, then you're none of His because you have to die to that world to be born into this world. You can't just believe your way into it in the sense of an intellectual concept. You can't study your way into it by reading the Bible, fasting or trying to pray your way into it, making long prayers or whatever, it has nothing to do with it. Fasting so much when they said, Wherefore have we fasted and thou seest not or thou takest no knowledge. See, but looking unto God, humbling ourselves under the mighty hand of God that God the great, invisible God, even the Eternal Spirit might come into our hearts, and that by faith in His love and in His works in the sacrifice of Jesus by which we're sanctified in His sight. That is to say, the body through which God can look, being in the blood veins of Jesus as the new life and the new blood. And looking through the blood genetics of Jesus, which is the atonement yonder on the seat of atonement as to God being in Christ reconciling the world back to Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them, but God who is love projecting Himself through a human body, looking at humanity saying, I can only see you through this perfect Lamb. I can only see you through this perfect blood; and I am the life that's in this blood; and you are a beast image, and I can only look at you through this. And if you don't change this as to the coming of that morning light which was the daystar as the Jesus which was coming when He spoke to them in the Old Testament as to say, You better get ready, the daystar is going to dawn. Right here at that changing time from the moonlight as to the law of reflection over to the sunlight of grace, right in that period of time then Jesus came, that beautiful star of Bethlehem. We sing that song, Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem, shine on. And the daystar even Christ, the Bible said, If you overcome I will give unto you to eat of that hidden manna which is the revelational revealing of the truths of that great mystery, and that means to overcome your flesh. And He said, I will give unto you the bright and the morning star which is Christ within you, and the dawning of this wonderful understanding, this light that you can comprehend heights, depth and width as this light on the inside reveals the contents of your heart. For the Bible said, If that light within you be darkness, which is that intellectual concept of the tree of knowledge which is the spirit of Satan which is only a reflector, a light but as they refer to it in the world a dark light. He said, If this light in you be darkness how great is that darkness. Have you ever known the depths of Satan or the depths of that darkness? And the Bible said, This light if this light be within you, you won't be double-minded. For he said a doubleminded man is unstable in all of his ways. Let not that man think that he shall receive anything of God. And folks, while there's grace, while there's blood on the seat of atonement, you are a reflector. You are a reflector. And then on the inside there is darkness and you're double-minded, and you're religious one day and the next day you're out there in the world. As to having the love of the world in you the love of the Father's not there. And this double mind is on the inside. He tells us not to be double minded. He said, Let your eye be single. Don't let your, don't be double-minded. Let your eye be single. And then He says eye, He's speaking of the eye of your understanding being enlighted to comprehend the heights, the depth and the width. Have just one mind as an eye of understanding, even Christ the wonderful wisdom of Almighty God. Don't have your mind as to that that's interwoven and infiltrated with Satan. Keep it out of your life and cast down every thought of the imagination. Give your Spirit to God the Holy Spirit. Let Him dwell richly within your spirit and in your temple. And let Him through the penetrating power of His glory move the smut from the globe as your cup runs over, as this inner Christ of this innermost power of life be made manifest in your mortal genes to wash away your iniquities by the washing of the water of the Word, which is the Spirit of this indwelling Word within you as to water of life or Word of Spirit and of life as it penetrates and washes away your iniquity. Be baptized as it is as to a natural baptism. Paul, be baptized calling upon the name of Jesus and wash away your sins. For it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. All right so Satan said to Eve, He doth know that in the day that thou eatest thereof ye shall be as gods. But see they were already gods to the extent that they were already illuminated with the presence of God, being made in the image of God; and they had the benefits of God even to the fellowship of God. But they still were made out of the dust. And this is what we've got to remember, it's like I was telling my wife today, and I've thought of this numbers of times on different occasions. See, there's a one, two, three. There's a Father, Son, a Holy Ghost. There is one, two, three: a body, soul and spirit. There's all through the act of creation of everything that emanates from God. There is a one, two, three as father, mother and child. There is a one, two, three of the little simple things when you look at it like a knife, a spoon and a fork. There's one, two, three. If you look at it as an automobile there is an automotive part as to an engine. There is also the framework and there is the body. There is one, two, three when you look. I'm speaking in the ways of simplicity of God hiding himself in simplicity. And He's all around us and the heavens declare His work and we fail to see it. And there is one, two, three as to the celestial world and the sun and the moon and the stars. And there is one, two, three when you look around as to flying things as to walking things and to creeping things. And there's always one, two, three. There are the sailing things upon the water and there are the rolling things upon the earth and the flying things within the air and on and on we could go, see, because God is a three in one. That is what we are. And God hath made us to be that way. And men use remedies, but God uses faith. God uses man's faith. But God who is a Spirit, Paul said, the Spirit whom I serve with my Spirit even the Holy Spirit. He said, And God who is a Spirit he said, this great, wonderful God, He reveals Himself as we say through a remedy.Think about that now. God who is a Spirit works through a natural source to reveal Himself. And His plan with Adam was to work through Adam (Tape 1 Side 2) for Adam was out of the dust. He was going to work through Adam's body and through Adam's physical frame He was going to illuminate Adam's surrounding environment as to the world and all of the world would be a garden. Everything would be peaceful as to the restoration, the coming millennium. I will restore, saith the Lord. All that the locusts has eaten, all that the caterpillar has gotten, all that the cankerworm destroyed. I will restore, saith the Lord. And in the restoration of this great, wonderful, millennium age He said, And nothing shall harm in all of my holy mountain, saith the Lord. Satan shall be bound for a thousand years. Every man shall set under his own fig vine and his fig tree as we say and his olive vine. And every man will have his own things, and every man will build and others will not inhabit. There won't be any IRS. There won't be any taxes. There won't be any oppression. There won't be any of the foolishness of this day that we're living in. See, when the people came from the old country, you're well aware of it. Reading in school, studying your history as we say. Going back you know that they fled from the old country to get out from under taxing because they couldn't survive. They took a chance with their lives fleeing from the king and came over that gulf, that big body of death as to the little ships of the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria, coming over that coming to this country. See so they could establish a democracy, so they could establish a new government, so they could establish a new way of life. And the rich men that fled with them that loved God, that cared for the things of God led the way and took a chance with their life and eventually all of them was killed. And their wealth they pooled together and put this wealth together that they might establish the great, wonderful America that we have of today. And indeed folks, it is the great, wonderful America. Though it is turned into corruption, though her people have corrupted her, though they have made her to be pitied, and it is a sad state of affair that she is in right now as she melts down into corruption because she, the people of America will not listen. And they have lost America and it's no more America. And you don't have anymore America, and you don't control America anymore. We're now going into this age and this year; and the next year will be the downfall of America to the extent it will go down, down, down. If you don't think I'm telling you the truth, watch and see. Because already America does not belong to America. Solomon said, The lender if he lends money, the borrower is debtor to the lender. And folks, over across the seas they own America. They have put up all kind of things like the Japanese and the German and all of these automobiles that you have over here, you have to have parts from over there to run these automobiles; and everything as to investments from over there that's here and you partake of it, then that makes all of the money go back over there. And now through these investments of people from around the world, even as the vision I saw coming to Atlanta, Georgia and finally despised it. They come to invest and finally in the vision as I looked up in heaven as they came from here and there to look down to invest they saw the corruption, they saw the horrors of it. And they frowned on it and they're going to do it. See, they're going to do it. She's gone like a great queen, but all of a sudden, it's like Charlotte that's called the Queen City over in the Carolinas. I said, Someday God will hit this place. And He did. He hit it downtown. He broke the window lights out of the great buildings and shook them and it was a terrible mess during the great hurricane. Even my son-in-law Dale said, I've never seen anything like it. When I went downtown and saw this that happened to the great Queen City. And it's coming to Atlanta. It's going to be a devastation. I saw it in a vision. It's coming to Atlanta. So then in this next year or two it's coming. Now at this point everything like we said before will shift back. The lights going out. And it will shift back to that side of the ocean because the woman has birthed the child. The woman has birthed the child. And as in the vision she was in the second heaven as in John's vision. She was in the second heaven in Revelation 12. And the woman was in travail and when the child was born it was caught up to the third heaven and ruled with a rod of iron and then something happened to the second heaven because Lucifer was cast out. We made the statement symbolically speaking and we don't have time to go into these things as a present day truth. The Bible said, It's a good thing for the heart to be established in a present day truth. We go back into the Old Testament. We take the New Testament. We take unveiled through the Spirit of Christ, the great, wonderfulness of God as that that was in heaven, the Spirit shown to them as in the earth. But in our day it's still the same thing if you look beyond the veil. And so then we see that in this age that we're living in every now and then we'll be able to say something to unveil it, but we see it so vividly. It's not vague at all to us. We see it so vividly and the thing is just an open expose'. If I could write a book and start from the beginning and write this great, wonderful novel, this great wonderful book as to the dramas of the world, see, it would be a great film. They could take that story to Hollywood. And they could get actors and they could enact this. And everything that's took place in the earth, unveil it and show what it was in the Spirit, unveil it. And all the way from the holy land over here to this side of the ocean, there would be a history following. A history or he told his story and it follows all the way as a recording of a natural Jew with a natural plan of a natural salvation that has become a religion of the world and as a law of a natural thing from Moses that has become a natural law throughout the world. And then step by step as it leaves this side of the world going back to that side of the world, it is the unveiling as not to his story but as to the wonderful Word of God and the story of Christ, as to the unveiling, as to the child coming out of the womb in that the conception was there in Israel and the son was there in Israel and hid away within the hearts of people beginning in Jerusalem and then to the uttermost parts of the earth; and down through the church ages through the formation as the woman having a child having an inheritance. And over here all of a sudden the opening of the matrix as to the rent veil; and the child as to the expose', the headship moving back step by step as to the body to manifest the spiritual body throughout the world, the gospel to every creature; and then eventually going back over into the holy land that there the child complete might be united as the head comes to the Jewish people, and the life of this Christ enters into that body of those Jewish people, and the Jesus Himself through the law of His Word of the record and the only record of kingship, even Jesus as to his heritage placed upon the throne, the child caught up to the throne or riding over the tribulation to set down in the throne with the Father. Whereas this is happening already as to the kingdom of God within us, the Christ is in the throne here as to the Christ. But we're speaking of the Jews and the manifestation of this spiritual Christ and this spiritual church and the spiritual heaven of that heaven that will come down even New Jerusalem that will come down. We are the New Jerusalem. They are the Old Jerusalem. Their body is the body of the old stone. We are the body of Christ, members in particular, the glorified. They are the terrestrial Jerusalem. We are the celestial Jerusalem. And though it doesn't appear what we look like one day we'll be changed in the moment in the twinkling of an eye, caught away to be with God before the tribulation as God purges the body as to those Jews to show what has happened to us spiritually and we'll meet on the other side as to the change in the moment in the twinkling of an eye at the coming of the Lord Jesus, the expression of the church. And when that comes down over there, then there will be a uniting. And then after that will come forth that celestial body as to New Jerusalem descending out of heaven, coming down from heaven as a bride adorned for her husband and your husband as to the bride of to whom you belong. So then everything is moving in that direction. And the unveiling is there. Where we don't have the film, we don't have the recorder, we don't have this re-in-acted in our lives. Hollywood is symbolic. Films are symbolic of heavenly sources and stars and angelic beings and all the celestial glitter. And so then in heaven God has a perfect record. In heaven God has the wonderful film of the great expose'. And that is the mind of God as before the world ever was, it was God's own instigation, God's own conception of mind. And God has by measure proportionally as to generations through the great, wonderful dispensations of time, using Jesus as a dispenser has dispensed Himself in such a way that we are partakers of the very life and blood and the very body of Almighty God; that we might be members of His body, members in particular. So it's very evident that Satan knew that they were gods. He knew that he was a god. And he knew that as to the tree of catching their eyes as to lust and enticement the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes. And the Bible said, She lusted. And now sin is in the world because of lust which defined as to originality is desire. Back to the human desire of that which is overcharged, beyond that which was made as to an allotment of man for moderation and survival and enjoyment. Angelic beings so much greater, not as our spirit but much greater. And our spirit is as the angelic being only when it is interwoven with Christ or interwoven with Satan as to the angelic forces as to an equality. Because our spirit is a little lower than the angels. Or that is a woman's spirit is not the strength of a man's spirit and if the man presses she'll soon break down and cry; but if she's got a devil she'll make him break down and cry because she's as strong as an ox. So then this means that there is something that is happening. Ye that are spiritual, Paul said, I would like to speak unto you as unto spirituals. Ye that are spiritual, if ye look you can judge all things. You can see the time as to the calendar. The time is here. America is now owned by those people over there. She is now owned. America is bankrupted. She's gone and it's owned by those people over there. And now the confederation of nations is come and Mr. Bush being caught up to the throne as a typical thing of destroying the dragon or doing away with the dragon. I said that it will be so that Communism will be defeated. And sure enough the iron curtain will be broken down, the rent veil and that of Germany, the walls, and down the dragon will go, and then seek asylum over in China, which they did exactly. See because to them as Brother Wrambrant wrote sent to us, having been a fighter of Communism all these many years, he said, Communism is now dead. Communism is now dead. And he is so happy because of the imprisonment and all the sorrows and the heartaches and the problems and people thrown into prison, and him trying to help them all these many years they are shouting for the victory. But folks, let me tell you Communism is not dead. Communism is overthrown. The dragon has gone out. Russia has been freed. Just as we prayed earnestly when we were over there for this wonderful victory and spoke of it coming; but the Bible said, When the dragon went out he went out into the earth. And it was said, Woe unto that are in the earth for he is among you. And just as he is cast out of your heart and the rest of them are taken into captivity by him, then so it will be as to this thing as the church going out as Bush being caught up. And now this thing going out, the confederation of the great militant powers. Who can make war against him? Everything has come right in and then Libya stepping right in at this time as to the Kadaffy thing and still that thing, that feeling of hurt according to Mr. Reagan's doings and it was during that time that they almost dropped a bomb over here on Rome. And it was about that time that it was revealed that now there is a bomb that will devastate in one hour. And the Bible said, And her devastation or destruction come in one hour. And with the moving of this Common Market power as to taking control of this side of the ocean over to that side of the ocean to set up the Common Market it will fulfill the Scriptures of Revelation where it said, And the souls of men and the all the great things as to the linen and as to the refineries and as to the gold and as to the silver and as, as we say to the souls of men and then her desolation hath come in one hour. All of that heaped together over there and the shipmasters afar off will cast dust upon their head and look and say, Alas, alas, that great city that make all the world rich has gone. That is the whore that set upon many waters, even as Rome that sets upon the seven mountains, even when John spoke of it, and the man that sits upon the throne as to the Vicarius Filii Dei or the numerical evaluation of that word as to six, six, six. When the Bible said it was the number of a man and would be placed in the head. Even as we were speaking the other day, placed in the head. It's placed in the hand and placed in the head. It's already here, folks. It's already here. It's already here. And everything is being computerized to where it can be controlled by computer. And I made the statement years ago, I said, This sounds pathetic but watch, it will leave everything except the social security card, and it will be a social security number and everything will come to it. And I said this again and again, the dog tag that the soldiers use to wear it is now come to the social security. Now your tag is coming to the social security. And everything is come into the social security. And we use to say, Everything is weighed out to you on numbers even a pound of meat or you are tagged with a number or a license or whatever it might be, see, because it is a computer age. And when something goes to the computer you are ruined. If it takes seven years for that computer to run it's course as to the computerized system, you just have to set it out and wait it out and it will get to where you can't buy nor sell unless you are evaluated according to a computer. And unless you get that computer as to it's acceptation, you won't be able to buy anything. You'll be cast out and these numbers will eventually move the whole thing even from America back to the great computerized system that's over in Belgian and back in that area. So then as they say already they've found out that there's only one principle number that will control all numbers or the system and they say that is 666. All right I made the statement that they will do away with checks, they would do away with money. And finally they would put this number as with a lazer in your head and in your head and in your hand. Just like in some of the places over in Washington, when the fish is spawning the time come and the salmon start going back up stream, they'll leap great, great heights as they go back, go back. And they've got these lazars and they'll set these lazars there and when they come out of the water they'll strike them, and they come out of the water and they're going to do you the same way. And as we was talking the other day, they're having a lot of problem now with a mix up with the children, the little children. Some people as when the children are born they get the wrong child and all these things. And all they got to do is set that thing into action and start hitting that little child's hand or that little child's forehead to say we are going to have something to keep them separate or keep them from being lost off or mixed up or whatever. And that little child is tagged from the time it comes into the world. It is said already that by the time a little child is born into world he's so far in debt to the government that there's no way to pay himself out. He is enslaved already by the IRS. See, and it's been proven any nation that has ever been taxed like our nation has never survived. It's always went down and here over here in this country, the very thing that we fled from, now the boycotting is come together and now we're under the same identical thing that we fled from. But folks, we've come from that out there of trading a pig for a pair of shoes and a pair of shoes as the cobbler to get a pound of butter. And we traded that to get us a standard as to a medium of exchange. And now we have come from that to a gold standard. And we said, I made the statement they would leave it and that it wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on. It went to a federal note which is paper. And now I said it will go from that, it will go to a number. And then they'll do away with all of the money, all of this other because as the store right now they're scanning things. They've got the numbers on the food and they'll know how much there is throughout the world of everything as in the days of Joseph, they'll know every box of cereal. They'll know how many people there are in the world by the means of censor. They'll make the comparison. They'll put it all under computer that will answer to computer, that will answer to computers and answer to the gigantic computer over in Belgium that covers about three stories of that thing that tells itself what to do for itself if anything goes wrong. See, it actually is over there. It's a phenomenal thing. Now I said that to say this, one man can control the entire world and Satan personify himself in that will control the world and all the world will build the image unto him. When we say build an image unto him I am speaking of this, that all whose names are not written in the Lamb's book of life are beast. And they will eventually as to their image conform unto him, collectively speaking, to come together as unit per unit or people together even as the bodily members of Jesus or Christ to come unto the head Jesus as to you unto the head of antichrist. See, and it's going to be that way and Satan is going to be exalted. The old dragon is going to have his way. America has computerized herself out of existence as to godliness. She hath computerized herself into a corner. And now she's computerized herself out of her government, out of her control, out of everything else. You don't have any control. And the man that's in the house of legislation don't have any control, and the president don't have any control, and nobody in business' or offices have control, but the beast has control through the computerized system. And when I say the beast, there is a beastly world that's got this and putting you under it into the separation of church and state as to our forefathers, but they've over-ruled that and the beast have you under control. But on the other hand there is one that will be a personification of that beast that will have the supreme control even to the members of those beast and they will take his mark, those that are the members of the beast. All right so then they've computerized themselves into a terrible circumstance. Now the computer is the control. See, and it's not anymore a government of the people and by the people and for the people. Because you have no control, the computer has the control. And so then with this it's working it's way back because Solomon said, Money answereth to all things. And those computerized things, a lot of them come from Japan, the accuracy of our tv and all of these things that are electronics come from over there. The land of the rising sun because it has to do with Jesus as the song we wrote one time when the sun sets over Jerusalem, while we were there in Jerusalem when we wrote the song. But there is a sunrise, and that is a resurrection of that same sun that went down at the crucifixion. At the sunrise and now as to the conception now America the woman has give birth to the child. See, the headship is coming forth, this message this Christ is coming forth even as Little Bethlehem here and back to Jerusalem it goes as we purchased that over there as that within Jerusalem. Back to Rome this thing goes as to as we was talking about the American Express cards and all these other things, back to Rome these things go, back over there as the twins are born, as one goes one way and one goes another way. See, and the spiritual to one place and the ungodly to another place; and to be headed up in Rome as the Saint Peter Basilica as to say the first Pope over there; and then as to Peter being cast out saying, Get thee behind me Satan and upside down and then all of a sudden this thing starts in the earth as to the papacy. But here is Paul, the other as to that that blamed Peter to his face as to the other with the twin; that said as the gospel was committed unto the Jews as to say the papacy and as unto sin and that thing that overshadowed the world, now the gospel is committed unto me unto the Gentiles as the spiritual thing. Whether in my body, out of my body I cannot tell, but such a one was caught up to the third heaven, saw things that was not permissible to speak or the capstone crying, Grace, grace. And that as to the church ages of the lively stones saying, I am the wise masterbuilder and the foundations that are laid, other men can lay no more foundation, for it is the apostolic foundations Jesus laid when He was here. And that great city it was found that these names were in the foundation of that great city. And much we could say if we went to Calvary and followed this thing as to the new world. And America has to do with that new world and now it is going out. Now the woman world is going out. And now the child is caught up to the throne which had to do with Mr. Reagan and with Jimmy Carter and Mr. Bush and now the prisoners are being loosed. Even in the last few weeks, I wanted you to watch, I hoped that you could watch because there are some things I cannot say to you because it involves personality. I might speak to somebody on the side if I can find somebody that will take something confidential and not say anything, because if I say something I'll injure souls and I'll injure and yet God uses souls and people. But sometimes it is an allegoric thing when in their soul they could get to God. Just like He said to Peter, Get thee behind me. And yet in his spirit God gave him the keys to the kingdom. See, and when I go to say these things it's so devastating as to words of power that I can't do that and that makes it bad. But you that are spiritual if you had have watched, if you had have listened, if you had have heard. The Bible said, If we had have been watching we would have known as to what hour the thief would have come and would have not stole and took away. For Satan is a thief and a robber, and as it was said when the seed was sown and it fell by the wayside and the fowls, even the evil spirits as we say come and devoured it up, or that is out-reasoned you and used that as to conversion to incorporate that with his own life saying, Cast yourself down from here. That is to take those things for survival and to use it for his own benefit. The rain on the tare and on the wheat. And I'm going to close in just a few minutes here. So then it's very evident now as to a telescopic view of a one, two, three from there to here now is closing up as to a one, two, three from here back to there. See, things are beginning to happen as to the Jew, as to the Gentile and as to the church in a one, two, three. And here we are in the new world. And as to the church as to the expose' as to the Christ, He is now being revealed. Because the revelation is now bringing Him on the scene and the expose' is here which is judgment at the house of the Lord as to the differentiating which is proving as to which is the Christ and which is the beast. Even the vision I had where part of them as to the severing or beast and part of them were not beast. So then it's very evident as to the mystery that Paul spoke of here as to the Revelation, he did that because this is a spiritual God. This is a spiritual Jew, this is a spiritual kingdom, this is a spiritual world so it is a mystery. And that over there is a natural Jew, that is a natural law, that is a natural inheritance to a natural land to a natural people to a natural world who love their natural country. Folks, we're pilgrims and strangers. We're seeking a city, even a country and a city whose builder and maker is as to Jesus that laid the foundation of the apostolic foundations as a society of today would say and our foundations are such and such. All right so then we know that something is taking place. They have computerized themselves into a terrible circumstance. And now the foreign countries own America. They're only playing a game. People are going to wake up to it and they're going to find out that all of them do obeisance unto the papacy of Rome. And that's why they did not just turn out for the papacy of Rome when he came over here. In every country that they go into, millions turn out for him. When he come over here why did they turn out for him? Why does our presidents actually go and bow or pay obeisance unto him? Because they are indebted to him. He is the controlling factor; because the Bible said this great whore hath made all of the merchants of the earth rich and all of the merchandise of the earth rich and the merchants of the earth and all of these commodities and all of these things are controlled by the money powers of the Catholic faith. And people that are in Catholicism, one way or another they are controlled by it. And even the Jews are controlled by it. Go over there and you'll find the little tinklets sold everywhere. See, and when you get over there you'll find out that this is the truth. So when that harlot begins to call her daughters as to the Protestants that came out from her, back into that religious thing whereas they say now that I believe the Episcopal I believe said is gone back into the Catholic teaching. There's one of them, I'm not sure which one it is that's gone back into it, just finally yielded up and went back into it. All of them will do it. All of them is already doing it. Even down to the Pentecostal churches. And they've gone back into that even as to a trinitarian doctrine of not teaching the name Jesus for the remission of sin, proves that they are Catholic. It is the Catholics' teaching and everyone of them will go back into it. Now I said that to say this, the child is the Jesus name child. See, one God, one faith, one baptism even relative as Jospeh to Benjamin. Because that's what the Jew believes. One God, Hear oh Israel, the Lord thy God is one God. Now that Mother Harlot is calling her merchandise, her commodities through the power of her control. She's calling all of this back to the foreign country to Peter's Basilica, back to that place of Rome, back to the, make this the Common Market that everything will have to come to her. No more imports into America as to this religious country or to God and the greatness of His people, because there won't be any God or the greatness of the people, because America is on the verge of defeat, because America is on the verge of losing the church. I tell you once again that when the people of Babylon and the king of Babylon which America is certainly that thing as to confusion, nobody knowing anything about anything as to their rights anymore, infiltrating with every kind of devilism or religiousism of the world. See, when Babylon though her walls were impregnable, those walls you could not penetrate but there came the time when God spoke of one that would overthrow those walls and gave him the wisdom to do it, even before he was born. So it's very obvious that when the Lord said, I will cast her children into a bed of adultery and burn them with fire in that God is a consuming fire and the devastation of that bombing that we speak of as the elements being on fire, it is very evident that her daughters her children are the Protestant people and she's fixing to gather them back and she's fixing to gather the strength of her commodities and everybody's going to have to answer to her, because it's the time of the placing on the throne of the Jesus which in going to Jerusalem which it will come pretty soon as to the Christian. And just before that the little forerunner of the antichrist and his tribulation period as to that which he will confiscate to begin with, and then the darkness as to the middle of the week when the covenant is broken trying to get control of this side of the ocean and then controlling the Jews. And then when they give themselves to (Tape 2 Side 1) rending of the veil, it will be the dividing in the middle of the week. It will be the angel standing with one foot on the land and one foot on the sea, hands raised to heaven swearing by Him that liveth forever and ever that time shall be no more; or that seven separated from the 490 as to 483 here and the 7 over here and then the perspective. What is it? Satan seeking asylum as we say to Communism in it's symbolics over there as the man child the Bush going up. And all of a sudden now the river Euphrates being dried up as to the union of taking those people as to the Chinese and the millions of them and all the confederation there to go across on dry shod and go in around Jerusalem to go into the field of Armageddon, to take the seed of Gog and Magog as to a union, because it has been that Gorbachev has tried so hard to unionize with the leaders there in China. And now that these are Russian leaders that have taken asylum though they be in China they're still Russia in their heart; and it's just God's way of uniting to bring the confederation of where the Bible speaks of these millions and millions that come together of those things that will go into Jerusalem, compass Jerusalem around about. Who can make war, who can make war with the antichrist when he unionizes back to that thing as we said before? And when they go in there then the Jews will come under a tribulation such as never has been in the history of the world; and many of them will flee out into the hill country and on and on we could go. But I said all that to say this, That see the end is here. The end is here. Even the calendar shows it. Everything is here. Folks, and that little place over in Jerusalem that we bought has to do with that return as to the catching up. And even us as to talking about going over there as to the ninth time, I watched it as to the sixth time, I watched what the meaning was as to the seventh time. I watched what the eight time was. And now as going over there we speak of the nine months of carrying. We speak of the seven church ages. We speak of the planetaria world. We speak of all these things in symbolics as to numerical order. A numerical order of what everyone of these things has significance too. Even that that happened in the last meeting here that you obviously did not see. I had talked to just one or two and I did not see anybody that saw it. I haven't found anybody that saw it. See, and that's the way it was in heaven when we was standing there looking at those beautiful things and I looked back at the masses on the earth and I realized that not one single individual saw it. Folks, but there's one thing about it, we should be seeing it. We should be seeing it. And the revelation of the Lord is here. And as to the child's eyes opening you've got to see at least, you've got to see. You might not see the revelation as to this revelation, but you've got to be able to get your eyes open to see into this revelation into that world because you are born into another world. That's why the Bible said, Anoint your eyes with eyesalve that you might see, because right here at this point we need to go on and go on to clarify some things, but I'm going to stop because you've been good listeners and this is Friday night and you may want to go eat. But just remember, in the day that thou eatest thereof thine eyes shall be opened and ye shall know that ye are gods. And I am saying that ye shall know, that is Satan knew that they would recognize when they come to a knowledge of angelic understanding which they were to receive through the tree of life as to the mind of Christ and keep their image in which they were made and keep their homeland and to keep the virtues of their surroundings. He knew that they would recognize that they were gods that couldn't die. But when he perverted it as to get control to take their substance through them and put them under the bondage that they're under right now. See, he knew it would open their eyes just as they said, we knew that we were naked and we sought a covering. Why did they seek a covering? What were they naked of? They were naked of the image in which God had made them. Because their covering was the Shekinah image of the illumination of the sweet Spirit of God of virtue. I've called you to glory and virtue with a pure heart of no misconcept of anything as the Bible said. And the bed of the marriage undefiled in all. It is an instigation an ordination of God. See, so folks, that image had gone and Adam was no more the son of God. The fig leaf was there and his covering was now that as to the skins and he was now nothingmore than a beast. And the life that needed the covering was on the inside; and Satan as to that within the beast projected himself into them and into their beast part which would never have been beast but they lost the remedy. And when that that would have come into their life that would have give them the remedy for that which they need in the earth, even as animals that get their vitality, vitamins, elements, all of these things that they need as to minerals, that's what you are. He said, From the dust thou art. I took you from the dust Adam. Why did you do that? I illuminated you with godship. I was going to make you a god. But now you'll waste away. You'll eventually go back to the dust, because now you're nothing but a beast. And because you are a beast, Satan lives in you. That makes you a serpent. And upon thy belly shall thou go all the days of thy life and dust shalt thou eat; or you shall get your food from the ground now, rather than this heavenly hidden manna of these trees of life and these trees that I blessed you with here in this beautiful garden which is the illumination of My Spirit. And upon thy belly shall thou go all the days of thy life. And folks, that's where people are today right there. God did not stand there with a whip and say, Bless God, I'll smite you. I'll kill you. I'll show you what. He was standing there as we would say like a mother, as to tears would be running down his cheeks saying, Why? Why? From the dust thou art, to the dust thou shall return. And then pursuing and looking even to the dripping of the blood. For folks, God is love. God is love. God is love. And faith worketh by love. And I wish we had time to elaborate on that and maybe one night we will. Let's stand together. They that know God, they that love God, they that will come to understand their God, it will be a great and a mighty time and we're on the verge of it. Let's sing a little chorus together. (Sings) Can you sing that with me? (Sings) The altars are open. If you need the Lord Jesus, if you would like to come to the Lord Jesus, the altars are open. I always try to give altar call because many people need to repent of their sins, not only here but around the world, and wherever you see these things, hear these things, and read them in books that go out from Little Bethlehem, a baby has been born. And he is the king of all the earth and all of eternity. And many people need to come to God around the world, to come to Jesus. Accept the Lord Jesus, and it shall come to pass that whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. To repent of your sins, to be baptized, everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit; for the promise of this coming of this Spirit is unto you and to your children and to as many as be afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Beginning at Jerusalem and then to the uttermost parts of the earth. Salvation, the gospel and eternal life shall be preached in His name, for remission of sin is in His name. Because He alone died for it. He alone is heir to the glory. And He within you is the only hope of that glory. For God hath called you to glory, to virtue. And it is the Lord Jesus who died for us. It is that body that was a Lamb as to a beast in the image that was without spot, wrinkle or blemish that become the mediator, the inbetween or the door as to the rent veil; that is to say within His flesh, making a new way. The body rent from the top to the bottom. His countenance marred more than any man. Even as from the station of Lebanon as we preach, going out even there into the holy land, that from this the holy land and then to the uttermost parts of the earth. For the Bible said, Salvation is of the Jew. Salvation is of the Jew. So as we stand here as from here in Little Bethlehem of the USA, all the way to Bethlehem outside of the Old City just a few miles from Jerusalem in the land of Judah or Judea, a babe is born. The government shall be upon His shoulder. The Bible said, And unto you a child is given. Unto you a Son is given. The child has been born and the government shall be upon His shoulder. His name shall be called: Wonderful, Counselor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father. And Jesus said, Father, I come in your name and they received me not and they did not. Others set up world empires and coming in their own names as to money power, as to the belligerent things of the world and there recede. But He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world belonged to Him and all things were made for Him and by Him, and without Him not anything was made that was made and they received Him not, nor did they recognize Him. And yet the government is upon His shoulder from henceforth and throughout eternity. And the whole world is indicted as to high treason because of this rejection and because of the powers of Lucifer as to His enemy and the conspiracy as to the act of the millions, even as to reaching unto the heavens making their nest among the stars as to the launching of the scientific thing. Though thou climbest up to heaven I shall cast thee down to hell. Even Apollyon as it was said, the king of the bottomless pit the old intellectual mind of reasoning, science falsely so called. The tree of knowledge, even the Catholic things that was taken up there by some that went as to show the supper that they have as a commemoration to God as to transubstantuation calling the very bread His body and the wine His very blood. They slipped it into the ship took it with them. The serpent has climbed up into the upper lentil. And today the upper lentil as to the upper echelon as to the boycotting it is nothingmore than the old underworld that use to have control of the world through their threats. Now through polished legislation they have control and they're ruling over God's people. But now they've touched the vessels of God like down in Babylon and now the walls have been penetrated, and now the walls are fallen as Joshua with the people are marching around those walls because those walls are human bodies of human figures, human intelligence that that building has been daubed with untempered man-made mortal; and there's not a stone upon another that cannot be cast down; and they're not built upon the foundation of the apostolics as to these lively stones that's built up into a holy priesthood, even by the great wise masterbuilder Paul the Apostle who was the overseer to build us unto Christ, even Christ who is the Chief Cornerstone or that that cries: Grace, grace, grace. The All-Seeing Eye of the Paul that was caught up as the other twin that said, It's not me living but it's grace, grace, grace. It is Christ and down through the church ages we find it. So then knowing that it is high time that we awake from our sleep and our sluggishness and begin to understand and try to follow God. Folks, I beseech you by the mercies of the Lord to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service because the time is at hand. To let him that is just be just still and he that is unjust let him be unjust still. Someone would say that time hasn't run out as of yet, Brother Pike. You don't have any right to say that. The Bible said, He that God sendeth will speak God's Word. That is God's Word. And this is the body of the Lord, members in particular and not me speaking but Him speaking. If it was me speaking I'd be doing the things that I done before I came to speak this as a child of God. It is Him within His temple. Let all the world keep silent. Let God be true and every man be a liar. So then before the world ever was he that is just and he that was filthy was filthy. And now we just come to the day of expose' as to reveal who was and who was not. That is to say in this generation will be seen, and then when the book is open and the books is open, or it is revealed that they have been opened, then all past generations will awake from the dust and it will be revealed to them that they were either the fore-knowedge of God as to an ordination unto condemnation as ungodly men turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, or it will be revealed as they were the elect and that they believed and that the blood took away their sins. Let's sing a little chorus together. (Sings) It's so good to be a Christian. We're going to sing this song in closing here. Let's sing this song. I like this. (Sings) The scales fell from Paul's eyes when the voice said, Why persecutest thou me? (Sings) Hearts are going to get harder and harder and people are going to get more religious and more religious. And people are going to become more careless and more unconcerned about godly things and yet profess Christianity to the highest, gather together more in a compact unit with self-esteem and become more reprobate; and darkness will cover up the earth as to a religious attire and too late they'll find out that His Spirit is not inside. When the feast was going on everybody was jolly everybody was having a good time. And it was the time of the feasting and so it is. Everybody is having a party. Everybody's partying. Eating and drinking, marrying and marrying, giving in marriage in the last voice. But it was said that when the feast was over, three days they journeyed and everybody was still merry and happy from the feast. But three days later, suddenly they discovered that Jesus wasn't in their midst. He wasn't there. They thought that he was there. They were religious. They had been up to the religious gathering but suddenly it dawned on them that He wasn't there. And they turned back to look for Him. And folks, they're beginning to turn back to look for Him. Whereas the Bible said, Ask for the old paths. Walk therein and and you'll find rest unto your weary, tired souls. And they went back looking for Him. And they found that while they were feasting, he had said as it was later in later years when they offered Him food, I have manna to eat that you know not of. For my manna, my food is to do the will of Him that sent me and to finish His work. And they found him sitting in the temple. Just a little child supposedly twelve years old, amazing the wise men as he unveiled the great mysteries of Almighty God. And indeed in this world we are as to the greats, not many mighty are called. In those intellectual powers we're but little babes. But nevertheless he said, And this is made known to babes, even the members of His body, babes such as are willing to learn, and a babe was born in Bethlehem. And the wise men came to give gifts. Christmas is right around the corner. Thanksgiving comes as to show the rapture as you say or the catching away of the church or the harvest or as to the new world which America was called. And Halloween comes to let us know that the devil is on time and the demons to pick up theirs on the rebound at the same period of life that they might get theirs with their bewitching things. And that power and that little masquerade thing is growing more and more and death and sorrows and heartache and Frankenstein as to wild imagination the characters thereof, and all of these other things are becoming special friends to the little children and special people to be admired as to the children of the world. But to you and I we're living for Christ and the wonderful presence of the holy angels of God and not demon powers, and not the bewitching, wretched, freakish world. Oh how wonderful Christ is. How wonderful it is to be a child of God. All these things are right around the corner. Things have been happening, many things, many things, many things. While you got your eyes closed and your hands lifted up, we're going to sing this little chorus together. And as we sing this little chorus together, when we finish this little chorus you're going to be dismissed. (Sings) Will you raise your hands together, sing with me? Can you? Search your hearts, examine yourselves. See if you be in the faith. (Sings) One more time together. (Sings)
