The World To Come

The Bible said to be easy to teach, and the only way I can teach you is for you to observe the things that I'm saying to you. Now people are becoming stirred about the ministry, and about the teachings, and they are at last realizing that things are taking place. I believe they say about seventeen thousand people, or maybe more, has given up homes, and different things in this country to go to Palestine, and given up real fineries here to go to Palestine because things are taking place. The Bible said in the last days they'd see that the Jews were very prosperous, and they would say, let me go with you, because you are a Jew. So then, they are beginning to do that now. They're beginning to see the prosperity of the Jew and they're wanting to get close to the Jew because they know that God is with them, and God is going to bless them. They are beginning to realize that the wrath of God is poured out upon the Gentile people. Now this is a terrible, terrible thing. You know how they mocked the man when he came to Atlanta? They published mocking pieces about him in the papers when he predicted the fall of California. But after the fall of California set in they had him on television asking him questions, and they wrote pieces in the newspapers about him, and they weren't mocking him anymore. He told them that he had predicted it, but that a man by the name of William Branham predicted it before he did, and that he himself had been visited by God in a vision, and shown the same thing afterwards, and that's why he fled from California. That God come to him and showed him a vision that was a conformation of it. And he said the same thing that I said to my wife here a few days ago, and the brethren in the past, when we spoke of the things of California and how it would fall, that this is a very light thing to what we understand, by revelation, is coming.

Now, Brother Branham predicted it by a vision, I understand, and I don't know anything about a vision of California falling. I haven't seen a vision of it falling, but by revelation I saw it just like I saw the death of Brother Taylor's mother, and all these other things we brought out. I saw it. And what I saw, this is very light thing as the Brother said that's going to happen to California. So you can see that things are taking place, and taking place fast.

We use the illustration of a tree right here. We use this tree as a family tree, a God family tree, God in this time, had come back to His people, and how that the pillow of fire had returned, which was the angel of God that had lead the children in the wilderness, and how that God always sends an angel, and begin to show us things, and here we took this and we traveled a long ways in the family tree here in showing you some things. But we never finished it. ANd ever though I probably won't get back into it tonight; yet when the anointing is just right for this particular stream, I want to get back in it, and try to finish this out, and show you what we understand. And then we got into another stream that was prior to the family tree springing up in this age which was the cross. And we brought out quite a few things concerning the cross, and concerning the triune move of godliness, and the triune condition of the Godhead to try to explain to you how that God is three, and not changing the Scriptures, not altering the Scriptures because we think of something, or some body said something, but when the Bible said there is three, we just say what it says. There are three. Now others say, "Well, it's not this, and it's not that, and there's two, and there's one," and that's good. If that's what they see, if that's what they understand, if that's what God's made known to them, why that's all they know to say. But, the only thing that I know is to say what the Bible said. The Bible teaches to preach the Word, and all I know, the Bible said there is three so I say there is three. And then the Bible said these three are one, so I say these three are one.

All right, that's the way the Bible teaches it. Now then, we also drew out a little chart over here and tried to highlight a few things to get a confusing element out of your mind concerning the one, two, three. When we speak of the natural, the physical, and the spiritual, or when we term it as religion we say, Jew, Catholic, and Protestant. And then when we term it as just nations we say, Palestine, Rome, and America, or Italy and America. And then, cities, we say Jerusalem, and Rome, and New York. We usually bring it down to New York, because that's where everything keys up there. So, we try to bring everything out in a three in one as best we can, and then we take the middle realm here, and when we say, first of all when we say Jew, then we say Catholic, and then we sy Protestant. And we make three ages out of it when it's only two ages because God took the last age, and he broke it into, or made twain out of it here that He might give us a symbol in one part of it the third age, which is the millennium.

Now, I might not be right about this, and you know, you don't have to quote me in it, but this is what I understand. This is what God made me to know. Now, most people teach this, the past age, or Jewish age, which is the church in the wilderness, and then they teach this age, and then they say that's it. But I don't believe that because I don't understand it like that. I believe that there's three great moves of God on this present earth right here. And I do not believe at the end of this age, that we are going to be finished with this world. I don't believe that. Now, I don't believe at the end of this age that that's going to be all of it. The church is going to be raptured away and that's going to be all of it. I don't believe that because to me that's not Bible. Now, it might be to you, and if you see it that way, that's all right. You understand it, I got nothing to say about it, but this is the way I understand it. This is the way God speaks to me, and whether right or wrong it's still the way I understand it. Now, I do not believe that God is going to work in those two ages, and that's going to be all of it. But according to what I understand there's one more age of this world, and whereas one age was four thousand year age, and the other age a two thousand year age, the next age will be a one thousand year age, which is called the millennium, or the thousand years millennium reign, and this thousand years millennium reign is not as some people suppose on a new earth. It is not a new earth. Now maybe you've always heard it called a new earth, and I always heard it taught the new earth, too. But it is not on the new earth. That's not Bible. THe Bible doesn't teach that the thousand years millennium reign will be on the new earth. It's not Bible. Now, if you've got some Bible for it, why I'd appreciate it if you'd come and show it to me, because I've never found any Bible for the millennium being the new earth. It is definitely not the new earth. The millennium is the same earth that we're living on right now, and it is the restored earth and not the new earth. It is where the Bible speaks of the restoration of all things. Therefore being hid with Christ in God whom the heavens have received until the time of the restitution, or the restoring of all things which we believe to be the millennium reign.

So then, the thousand years millennium, according to what I understand is the time that God will deal with the Jew, and at that time he will be the head of the nation, and it will be the great hour of restoration to where everything that was in the garden, or in the garden age, will be restored, and it will be like a beautiful garden, and the world will go back to it's original personalities. All right, now. We say personalities, actually the way God had it in the beginning and men with their personalities. All right, now then. Here's what we actually believe. The thousand years millennium reign right here. Now, if you can observe what we're saying, we believe that in this period, right here, and I ask Brother Taylor to leave these on the board so I can point them out, we believe in this period, right here, which was the Jew age, which was the two thousand years from Adam until Noah, and really it's not two thousand years, but we call it two thousand years from Adam to Noah to give a kind of positive break in it, you know, because of the flood. And two thousand years from the flood over to Jesus, and two thousand years from Jesus over to the coming of the Messiah. This is the way we try to break it down. But anyway, here in the Jewish age, the great water age, as we would call it, or the great age where the water covered the earth, this age I believe if you don't want to. But I believe that when the water, the great flood, when it came upon the earth in Noah's day, that that is what tilted the world on it's axis. Now that's what we was talking about the other night. And it might not be right, and I could be a hundred miles wrong on it, but this is what I believe. I believe that it tilted the world on it's axis when the water was on the earth over in Noah's time. Now, I know the Bible said that the water covered all of the earth, and that every high hill under heaven was covered according to the Bible, but I still believe that the water, the great deluge is what caused the world to be tilted.

Now, I believe this, and I also believe that God letting this happen in the eastern part of the world will someday let over here in the western part of the world a great outpouring of fire through the atomic powers that will shake the western world and will cause the world to spring back up into it's original position. Now, like I say, I might be wrong. I don't know. But now here's what I believe about it according to what I understand. When God made Adam in the garden, He made him upright. We brought this out the other night, but we brought it out so hurriedly that we didn't have time to elaborate on it, but when he made Adam in the garden He made him upright, here in the water age. This is just prior to the water age. And when He made him he made him upright, a man that was upright in his characteristics. He was upright, but when sin came in man got tilted on his axis. He got tilted on his axis, and he was no longer upright. And when this happened, because God is a three in one, and because God creates by a three in one, and because everything that God does has to go in a spiritual parallel, when man got tilted on his axis, when he was tilted on his axis then for this thing to stay in a continuity then heaven had to be tilted on it's axis. And the earth had to be tilted on it's axis. For whatever happens to humanity it has to have to happen to heaven, it has to happen to the earth. And so then, when Adam was tilted on his axis in the garden, then immediately a third part of the heavens was tilted on it's axis because a third part of the angels was cast out of heaven, and it took a spiritual tilt. and then the earth, the great deluge hit it and whether or not it's responsible for it or not, God only knows, but whether it was or not; yet anyway it's tilted on it's axis.

And so then the great three in one is tilted on it's axis, and everything has to go along in a continuity. Now then, I believe if man being tilted on his axis caused all of this to take place, then when man is straightened up on his axis, spiritually speaking, then everything will straighten up. Then if this be true then when man straightens up, that is just a part of man, now it wasn't but one man that got tilted on his axis, and it doesn't take but one man, Paul said, to restore everything. THat's the man Christ Jesus, whose body you are, members in particular. All right, so then, if this be true when you are straightened up, that is the church, without spot, wrinkle, or blemish, then there will be a perfect man, there must be a perfect world, or a garden for him to dwell in. All right, now then, John, in the book of Revelation, and I hope that one day we will really get into the book of Revelation, and start unfolding what we understand about it. But John, in the book of Revelation, He said, I saw the islands moved out of their places. I saw the mountains moved out of their places. Now, I believe this; that when the world was tilted on it's axis that the mountains that was upright went into the water, and the islands that was setting up went into the water. Now there must be something to this, because my wife Betty and I being out in California a number of years ago, I noticed that right after we crossed the Arizona line that all the way back to the Arizona line almost there was sea shells and sand all out there like at one time it had been under water.

All right, now when the world was tilted on it's axis like this. Then according to what I understand all these things went under the water. Now, John said, I saw the islands moved out of their places. I saw the mountains moved out of their places. And I believe that what he meant was; in the time of the antichrist, about three years reign of the antichrist, and then after the three years reign, six months of the wrath of God. Now, I want you to understand this. A lot of people don't understand it, and for a number of years I didn't understand it until one day I really got in there and God showed me what it was. But three years of tribulation is the regime of antichrist. That is; he'll rule and reign. He will usurp his authority, and he'll have control and dominion over all the world. Three years of it. Now, we refer to it as three years and a half. well, the three years and a half means six months added to the three years regime of antichrist will be the wrath of God. Now, remember, when the mountains go to move out of their place, when the hail stones come down form heaven, when fire and all of this other stuff the Bible speaks of in Revelation starts to happening, the earthquakes, is not the power of antichrist. It is not the power of satan doing it. It is not. When all these things begin to happen that is not the regime of antichrist. The Bible said he'll make craft to prosper. Now this is what throws people off. All across the Carolina's, and I don't mean this as a rebuke to my brethren there. It's just the way I understand it, and that's the way they understand, but all across Carolina's and all across the nation now, they are beginning to preach: Get ready for a famine. Get ready for a famine, but this is not so. There is no need to get ready for a famine, because that's not going to be.

Now, you say, Brother Pike, don't you believe a famine is coming? Sure, there will be a famine. There will be famines. The Bible said there would be famines, be pestilence, be earthquakes. THere is famines in the land right now. There's earthquakes in the land right now. But I am speaking of the kind of famine that they are speaking of and to show you that it's not right. First of all, they say store up for the famine like Joseph did. Now, they are seeing something but they are looking on the natural when God is doing something spiritual. Now, I Believe we ought to store up for the famine, but I believe we ought to store up spiritually, not naturally. Now, you say Brother Pike, don't you believe we ought to store up naturally? No, I don't, because I believe that any true Christian that had a store house full, that if there was a famine, and if there was hungry people, that he'd give until he didn't have a store house. Well, that would take him just one day, and his store house would be empty. So what good would it be to store up if you're going to give it all away in one day. See? it don't make sense. Now, a Christian couldn't sit and eat and other folks starving to death, that would be pretty good proof that he wasn't a Christian. So you see? All of that's vain. Now one time we went up into North Carolina, and here Brother David Allen, a wonderful man of God, had stored up a tremendous amount of stuff. Had it up in the loft up here, and had big new garbage cans just piled full of food. Little cans, you know, of food just hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of it, and all piled up, and when we got up there and saw it, he told me what he was doing, and I said, Brother David, I said, For God's sake get all of that stuff out of here, load it in a car, and send it to Mexico to those starving people, and that's what he did.

Now then, you see how satan can mislead a person. He was honest enough, and then when he heard the truth that's what he did. Now, I'm not trying to rebuke those Brethren. I'm just telling you what I understand about it. I believe that there will be famine and pestilence and earthquakes. I believe that, and I believe that there is already famine, earthquakes, and pestilence in this age, but I also believe with all my heart, this is my sincere conviction, that we are not to store up anything but spiritual food, because the regime of antichrist will make craft to prosper. It will not bring a famine. antichrist coming in, he is not coming in to create a famine. That's not what he's going to do. He's going to come in to have a frolic, to live it up and to have a good time. People don't turn to paganism in the time of famine. They turn to paganistic practices in the time of plenty, not famine. When you have famine it brings a great revival in the world. When Israel got away from the garlic and onions, and got out in the wilderness they served God. When they started to Canaan Land to have the milk and honey, Moses and Joshua warned them. They said, Beware lest ye forget God, and when ye are full you'll say, Then who is this God that I should serve him. And so it is today, see? Having plenty, beware lest that day came upon you unaware, for as a snare shall it come upon all of them that dwell on the earth. And the Bible said, They shall be eating, and they shall be drinking. They shall be marrying, and giving in marriage. Now then, when we say eating and drinking, well, people has always eat and drank.

So then He wasn't just speaking of people eating and drinking, but He was speaking of excess in eating and drinking, and running to rioting, and having parties, and picnics, and going out ot dinners, and suppers, and things, and sometimes we do that, too. But anyway, this is what He was speaking of. There would be a time of plenty. All right. Now then, antichrist will make craft ot prosper. Now, you say, How will he do it? well, the Bible said, He'll change the times and the seasons. He'll change the calendar. That's one thing. In the day of Caesar he changed the calendar from what it was. It's not the original Jew calendar now. And I noticed that George Washington's birthday, I always thought it came on the twenty second. I might be wrong about it. Might have looked at the calendar wrong, but they had us celebrating it on the fifteenth. So, I perceive that what he's doing, that already he's moving in and he's taking these holidays that would come one right close to another, and he's spacing them out according to his way to keep people on the job at a certain time, and off of the job to make craft to prosper. I believe this is one of the things he's doing, to make craft prosper. All right, now then. They are working this thing out to his own advantage. And he will make craft to prosper, so three years of that will be a great hour of prosperity, a great time of prosperity, but the last six months will be God pouring out his wrath upon the antichrist when the hail stone will rain down from heaven. And now remember, God doesn't pour out his wrath on His own people. Is that right? He is not gong to pour it out upon the Jew, nor upon the Christians. He's not going to do that. So then, the church will already have been raptured during that time.

I know that some of the brethren are preaching that the church is going through the tribulation. but that's not right. According to what I understand it's absolutely wrong. The church will not go through the tribulation. It won't. Now then, the church in the wilderness will go through the tribulation, which is the Jew, but not the church which is the bride, or the gentiles. It will not go through the tribulation. Now, the wrath of God will be poured out in the six months which is after the three years regime of antichrist, and that's when the earthquakes happen. That's when you think about all these locust and all these things covering the earth. All these things coming, and at this time, John said the islands were moved out of there places. And I believe right after that three years of antichrist then they'll begin to sling atom bombs all around. I believe there's going to be a terrible, I believe that when the rulers, which is the communistic powers, when they begin to realize that Rome is trying to be a government and take over the world, and when Rome begins to realize that communism is trying to take their throne that they are set to receive, the I believe that there will be war between them, and that there will be a great bombing, a great catastrophe, great things will begin to take place, and I believe that the Jewish power, the Jewish power will rise up and destroy Rome. I believe they'll do it. With the atom bombs and the powers I believe that the Jews will rise up, and one reason I believe that is because the Bible said in the days of Elijah, when Elijah was caught away, which is just a little bit of revelation, in the days when Elijah was caught away in the fiery chariot, which was a symbol of the Gentile Bride being caught away, that at that time he'd went over to the place where Moses had been in the mount of God where God had spoke to him. He'd gone back there in the wilderness to this same mountain, and when God spoke to him, God said, Go back and anoint Elisha prophet in they stead. And he went back. He anointed Elisha prophet, and He said anoint Jehu king. And the Bible said he anointed Jehu and when he went back and anointed Jehu king that Jehu went by and picked up one of his friends, rode into the city and told him to come and see his zeal for God. And when he rode into the city, the Bible said that Jezebel came out on her veranda. She came out on her little balcony and she was all painted up, and the Bible said that when she came out she tried to deceive the heart of Jehu. That's what it appeared, and so then, Jehu, he wouldn't have anything to do with her, and Jehu pointed toward her, and told the ones that was for God to cast her down. And there were eunuchs that had been made sterile that stood up there that escorted the queen and so forth, and they had no feeling toward women, and they came out and took this woman and threw her over the balustrade, and when they threw her over the balustrade the Bible said that her brains and all of her guts bashed out on the pavement, and the dogs eat her and she became dung upon the face of the earth. Elijah prophesied that Jezebel will become as dung upon the face of the earth, and; we made the statement that dung is knowledge, and that the dogs id the Gentiles, and someday the communistic powers, the Jewish powers will consume the catholic church, the great whore, and she will become nothing but a by word, and a proverb among the people which is dung upon the face of the earth according to the prophesies of the prophet Elijah. Now then, after this Jehu threw Jezebel down. You understand what I'm saying? Now then, I believe that Jehu was God's anointed in that hour which symbolized the Jews, and because he was a king over the Jews, so then if he was a king then that means the Jews are the ones that's going to destroy Jezebel. Is that right? The prophetess, or the harlot. So, this is what I believe. I might be wrong about it, but this is what I understand. Now then, John said that at this time, remember Elijah was caught out. The mantel went right back to Elisha, and Elisha got a double portion of the Gentile church which is rapture, but the Bible said Elisha took sick and died, and I believe that Elisha was the Jewish church, for they found him plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, which brings in that number twelve. That's just a little clue there for you to catch the revelation. And he had the double portion, and according to what I understand the Jew gets the double portion. Now, when you say one portion according to what I understand, it means that you are translated into the kingdom of God in your spirit. That's one portion. You are spiritually right with God. But the Jews have always noted to be right with God in their body through the keeping of ordinances and the commandments. keeping their body strict with God. Now then, but they have never had the spiritual portion, because they are the body and we are the spirit. And at Calvary, the body was rent in twain, which separated the body from the spirit, and the spirit went one way and the body went another way. And so then, we being the spirit we went into a paradise, as we brought it out here one night, of the church, the land of America, which is milk and honey. And they went out of the presence of God into a torturous place of the grave, which was into darkness, out of the mind of God. That is, He just took them out of his mind and blessing for a while. The Bible said that they are enemies to God for the Gentiles sake, but concerning beloved, they are beloved for the Father's sake. All right. So then, we see the body and we see the spirit. Now, I believe that the Jew, of that the Prophet Elisha was a Jew. And so then, here we see a portion in the Gentile, or the Bride, which was a rapture in the fiery chariot. Now, when it had one portion and that caught them away. When they got their double portion it changed their body and they went away. Now, I believe that Elijah had a double portion, and I believe that's why he said, Elisha, if you see me at my going you can have a double portion, because I believe he just had one portion when Elisha asked for a double portion. And so then, when Elijah got his double portion it took him out of the world. When we get our other portion, which is the change of the body, it'll take us out of the world. but the Jew will not be taken out of the world. They'll get their double portion. They got their body portion, and when they get their spiritual portion then they'll have a double portion when they learn our spiritual secrets of the Holy Ghost. And when they receive the baptism of the spirit then they'll have their double portion, and they'll stay here to war against antichrist. Now you say, Brother Pike, what makes you think they're doing to get the baptism of the spirit? Because the Bible said that he'll seal them in their forehead, and said that the four angels moved around the earth and one stood on this corner, this corner,and this corner, and this corner holding the four winds of the earth. And we brought them out one night about the vision of Daniel, and the four winds wrestling over the waters, how that there was a doctrinal power of mankind that was going to come together in a great clash and cause all of this great calamity that John spoke of where the islands were moved out of their places. These great winds, it said one angel stood over here on this corner, and one angel stood on this corner, and one angel stood on this corner and one angel stood on this corner, and the Bible said they was fixing to come together to destroy the things in the earth, and a voice spoke out and said, See that you hurt not the earth, nor the trees, nor the waters, or anything that is in the earth until God has sealed His servants in their forehead. According to what the Scripture says the Holy Ghost is the seal, and the seal of God comes in the forehead of the Saints just like the mark of the beast comes in as a seal to the evil ones, the image of the beast. And so then He said, Hold these four winds back. And so the four angels stood here with these contrary doctrines, and would not let them come together in a clash. Daniel brought it out a little more in his vision. When he saw the four winds he said they came together. All right, now then, when they wrestled over the waters Daniel gave us an understanding and then John said the angels were holding them back. Now, according to what I understand when the seal came in the forehead that meant the double portion. That was the other portion which is the spirit to the Jews. They received the spirit. All right, now then. They stayed, and the Bible said that Elisha took sick and died. Is that right? Now the Jews will have to go through the persecution wherein they will just diminish away, so to speak, in the sense of their sufferings. They go through this whereas Elijah, the Gentile church was raptured out. So then, according to what I understand, this Elisha, that we're speaking of will come in at a certain time, and the double portion will come in. Now I know that there is a lot of teachings this way and that way about the two prophets, and about Elijah, and Elisha, and Moses, and Joshua, and all these things, but this is what we understand about it. I'm just telling you what we understand about it. So then, John said the islands was moved out of their place in this great hour, and in this great time. The islands were moved out of their place. Now we could go into some things here, and bring out some spiritual revelation if we just had the time, on islands and mountains and what they mean and you'd get some spiritual significance out of it. But let's just stay with the natural of it now and see what John was saying. All right, he said in this great age, when antichrist comes during the six months of the wrath of God the islands were moved out of their place. Now, I believe that these four winds were wrestling over the waters when they are finally released, that the bombs and the catastrophe that will take place will come down upon the earth, and with this great blast over on the western part of the world that the world will swing back up in it's original position, man being upright, and the heavens again will be up in it's original position, man being upright, and the heavens again will swing back up in their original position, for the Bible teaches the accuser of the Brethren that accuse them day and night will be cast out, and this thing will come back up in it's original position. And this with it coming back up will no longer be this second age here, but this third age, which is the thousand years millennium, which will be the upright earth, and the upright man, and the upright heaven, right here as it was in the beginning. That's just what I believe. All right, now then. If this be so, if this really happened in the earth, and all of this will swing back up, then the millennium will be the garden, or be the great restoration age, or wherein the Bible said men will build houses and others will not inhabit. Now, don't forget that in the millennium they will build houses. A lot of folks think they are not going to do anything in the millennium, but my friend, there is no place for laziness in God's work. No place. So then, in the millennium, the Bible said, they will build houses. They will plant vineyards, and in the millennium they will set under their own vine. They'll have their own milk cows, and all of these things, and there won't be any diseases. There won't be any heartaches. It'll be the perfect age for one thousand years, which is about ten times your life time. And then, after this, after this thousand years, the Bible said, satan will be loosed for a little season, and he'll go about the earth to deceive the nations, Gog and Magog, and we brought it out the other night who these are, and bring them up upon the face of the earth and then they'll go over against the great city, Jerusalem, which is over yonder right now. antichrist will rule from over here in the western world, the woman's side of it, which is a symbol of Jerusalem, over in New York, through Washington up here through the United Nations. We'll bring it out some night in the confederation nations in a revelation. And Jesus will rule from Jerusalem going through the Eastern Gate over there,going to the Jews in that hour, and he will rise up, and they'll conquer the world. And whereas America is the head of the world as a woman nation now, that'll be the male, the head of the world over there, as a male nation. And it will come up. God chose the western world over here because it's a symbol of the bride, the church, to give her a ruling age, and let the woman rule. And then it'll go back to the male, which is the male age, the Jew, which is the man age, which is the wonderful age of blessing, because in the woman age it's always an age of travail and suffering and sorrow. So then, we go back to the male age, it's an age of labor, but peace. And so then, in that age the lion will lay down with the bear. In that age will be lions, and there will be bears and everything that's extinct. Every wonderful beautiful animal, and every bird that's extinct will be put back into the earth. God has preserved one somewhere. It's a symbol of Noah coming over from this age, over to that age. It's a symbol of Noah going over from the water age to the new age, wherein he preserved one of every species, or two, to multiply and replenish the earth. So, God is preserving spiritually out of all the earth one of every kind, two of every kind that is. Spiritually speaking He's preserving two of every kind, and of also the natural, but two of every kind for the multiplying of the new earth that it might come to the perfect age out in the new earth. Out there every species will be preserved. Not one will be lost. Every good person in the earth there will be one held over to go into the millennium. All right, now, there won't be nothing lost and according to what I understand the lion and the bear will eat straw together, and the little children can play on the hole of the cockatrice, and so forth, and the snakes, whatever they have won't bite out there. Everything will just be beautiful, and everything will just be perfect out there in that age. Now, I believe that that's the last age of the world. After that age there will never be another age of the world, but John said after the thousand years millennium then when they went up around Jerusalem, and they compassed a city, then fire came out of heaven and devoured the adversaries that were around Jerusalem. I'd like to bring out a thought or two for a conformation, In the millennium I said that they would build. The Bible said that other men won't take their homes away from them like they do here. They'll inhabit their own homes. They'll build whatever they want to, and they'll live and they'll have a good time out there. They'll dwell together, and there will just be a wonderful age out there where they'll have their own homes, and their own gardens, and everything, and the animals will just be roaming around like a beautiful, beautiful garden, and it will just be a wonderful time. Like you see in the movies, This Tarzan. These pictures about Tarzan and Jane. That's a symbol of Adam and Eve. God always preserves everything in Hollywood because that's stardom over there, and stars are a type of people so He preserves it as Adam and Eve to give us a symbol of what it's like in the jungle. Over there in the beautiful jungle where they go swimming and all those things. Used to see it in the movies. All right, But any way, here, this will be another Eve age, so to speak, and an Adam age out here. But it'll be the perfect man, and the perfect woman, and in this age right here they will have their own land. They'll have their own houses, and they'll have the animals roaming the earth, and here in this age this will go for one thousand years. For one thousand years this will continue on. Now. During this time there will be a government, and according to what I understand the government will be in this age. During this time the government will be righteous government of the church. Now, during this age, in the great millennium age out here. During this age there will be a government, and this government is the people who are training right now in this worldly college out here, so to speak, the spiritual aspect of it, in this world they are training just like people that go to college, or training to take over the government, these people are training for government of the millennium of the millennium. These people in this world are going to college as a type of all of this, and they are coming out as rich men, a type of the sons of God, and the knowledge out of college which is the knowledge of God as a symbol, and they are ruling for about seventy or eighty years and then they take cancer and they die. And that's about a life time, about seventy years. But anyway, these people will rule for one thousand years. Ten or twelve or fifteen life times here. A government which is the spiritual, and that government will rule with a rod of iron. It will be a constraint. It will not be a liberty like this one we live in. Now, in the millennium it will not be "let whosoever will". It will not be like that. This is in this age. But in the millennium the Bible said that everybody will be forced to come up to Jerusalem to pay tribute to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to bow before Him, and to worship Him, and to worship before the saints of God who will be the government of the earth, and if they don't do it the Bible said that God will not let any rain come on their land. THey won't have anything to ear. They'll be forced to come up there. It won't be a matter of will you, or won't you. They will have to come up to Jerusalem to pay tribute during the thousand years millennium reign. And the Jew will be the nation, the head of the nation. I believe that we will be glorified because, the reason I believe this is because we are raptured up before the tribulation. We go up to heaven, and I believe He's going to let us see New Jerusalem, whereas the others won't get to see it for a thousand years more. But I believe we'll go up there, we'll see New Jerusalem, and we'll stay there with the Lord Jesus Christ three years. And after antichrist reign we'll come back down here on white horses with the power of God. We'll slay the evil one I spoke of the other night. We'll bind the antichrist and the false prophets, throw them into the Lake of fire, and then we'll bind satan for a thousand years and put him into the bottomless pit until after the thousand years are finished. He won't deceive the nations until after the thousand years are finished. He won't deceive the nations until after that and then he'll go get Gog and Magog to go up against Jerusalem. But we'll bind the others and everyone that's got the mark of the beast we'll slay them, and those that do not have th mark of the beast will go into the millennium, and they will live right on through the millennium. THose that don't have the mark of the beast will not be slain. The nations will continue on for another thousand years. That's why I say this world isn't through until then. They'll go right on into the thousand years millennium. And then after that satan will go about to deceive them one more time. That's why the Bible said that he that blasphemeth the Holy Ghost shall not receive forgiveness in this world or the world to come. There was a world before the flood, and then after that this is called the new world. And then after this we'll go into another new world here. So, this is the world to come here. There is no forgiveness for that sin. All right, now then. You see what I'm trying to say here? That this great millennium, according to what I understand, we'll be celestial because we'll be caught up. We'll be changed and then we'll come back down and rule as a celestial government that will be like the angels to the Jews the same way as the angels are to us now. We can go and come like we want to, access to heaven and earth, rule over the nations and the Jews will be the head of the nations, which will be the earthly government as far as controlling the nations, whereas we'll be the heavenly government for we'll be as the angels that are counted for the resurrection, for even the angels cannot die. And so then, we'll be angels to them just as the angels are to us, and they will be the head of the nations just like America, or we are, the head of the nations right now. So then, this will come to pass, according to what I understand, in the millennium reign. And then at the end of this great millennium reign, and according to what I understand the Jews will not be celestial in that time. They'll just labor like now, and they will have a good time and enjoy the restoration of God just like Adam and Eve, the perfect man and woman. They will be that. And then after this then John said, I saw a new earth and a new heaven wherein dwelleth righteousness. And just before we say that in finishing up there, I want to say this. Now, to prove that this is the same earth, the Bible said at the end of this thousand years millennium that the graves will give up their dead. Is that right? Is that Bible, now? All right, then if there is still graves, then that means there is still and earth somewhere. See? If there is still graves, graves are in the earth, That means there has got to be earth somewhere for the graves to still remain. So then, before the thousand years millennium, and before the reign of antichrist there'll be a rapture but only the dead in Christ shall rise. And the Bible said the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years was finished. THat means they're still in the graves and the graves are still here during the millennium. Is that right? All right, then at the end of this, the Bible said, the sea gave up it's dead. That means there is still an ocean somewhere. There's still, we call it ocean, but in Genesis they are called seas. ANd so then there are still seas, there are oceans somewhere, because the dead sailors, and all that are buried out there that wasn't righteous has not come out of it yet. You understand what I'm saying? So then, you see, this is not, according to what we've been taught and believe, it is absolutely not the new earth. It is a new world, but it's not what the Bible refers to as the new earth. But John said, After the thousand years millennium I saw heaven and earth pass away. I saw it just pass away, flee away from the great white throne of judgment which comes after the millennium, when the dead in Christ stand there, and when also the wicked dead come forth. And he said I saw the great white throne of judgment from whose face, he said, the earth just run away from it, just like that. When God, the great creator of the earth comes, he said, the whole earth just fled away, and there wasn't any place found for the mountains, and the islands and nothing. At the coming of the great white light it just caused everything to dissolve and vanish nothing. And so he said, I saw a new earth and a new heaven wherein dwelleth righteousness. And John spoke of this. He said, and then I saw New Jerusalem coming down from out of heaven as a bride adorned for her husband, the great city with the Celestial streets and so on, but setting down upon the new earth. So the, New Jerusalem does not. It comes down upon the new earth that is called the City of God after the millennium. I just wanted to clarify, because I have a lot of people that ask me questions about this, and they wonder about it, and I know that you wonder about it, and a lot of times I'm hesitant to answer you because I don't have time to explain what I say, and it just causes you to say, well, Brother So and So, don't teach that, or Sister So and So said she didn't believe that, and then I get you all out here, and then you go off from church thinking I'm all mixed up. Now then, if you think I'm mixed up after I've had time to explain it all, well, you're going to leave, that's all right. Then I'll understand, because that's all I know. I'm just telling you what I know. But now, if you consider the things I said in the light of the Scriptures, you'll find it to be thus saith the Lord. Now you do whatever you want to do about it, but this is what I understand. I believe that we are at the end of the way, I believe that with all my heart. Praise the Lord!
