Resurrection Of The Dead

God begins to move, it's not all jumbled up and all crossed up. You know I believe, I believe from my heart, I believe that God has an organized way of doing things. A lot of people don't believe in organization but I do. I believe in organization because God is an organizer and God is a power of organization. I don't believe in denomination, uh, going back to a number system, but I believe in organized effort. You know the Bible speaks of my mighty army. The Lord said, " My mighty army, I'll bring forth my mighty army." And I've often thought you know, what would it be like if you and I being a soldier, many others if we all went out to battle and there was no leaders and there was no corporals and there was no sargeants and there was no captains and there was no commanders and you didn't know what I was going to do and I did not know what you were going to do and we didn't know what each other was going to do. We'd not been taught to listen to anybody, we just went out there to fight. You know we'd have a mess. Don't you think we would? Yes sir. We would have a mess because the commander would holler one thing and one would go this way and one would go that way. You say, " Now how do you know that? " Because when I was in service and they were training us, they could say, " Right flank " and half a dozen of them would go left. And the sargeant would get all upset, the platoon saegeant, he'd scream and holler and stomp, but when we started again he would say, call another command, He would say, " About face " and some would keep going and half of them would be going this way. Have you ever seen that? I'm telling you the truth. It's real comical. People just laughing and laughing you know, and you'd laugh to but, that's why that we have been in training folks. We've got a battle to fight. We've got a job to do. And God's got leaders. He's got those that He has commissioned, whereas He used the terms, taking the oversight over the flock of God over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers. See, you're to take oversight over the flock. You're to do that, and you're to watch after them, because it isn't some man-made thing that is happening or something that man has instigated. The Bible said, " The Holy Ghost hath made you overseers over the flock. " And we're to take it not for, by constraint or as Lord over God's heritage, nor because of filthy lucre, but take it because we love Jesus. We love the flock. We want to help the people and do something for the cause of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and see the thing organized unto one great power of leadership through the ranks, the commissions and the measures that God has invested in each one until it comes to that great head, the Lord Jesus, who is without measure. He, that is the fullness of God, in the human body. Alright, It's so wonderful to be a christian and it's so wonderful to talk about the things of God. Stand with me again and let's lift our hands. Let's just pray for a few minutes. The Bible said, " Meditate in His laws day and night. Examine yourselves and see if you be in the faith." You know we've got lots of convictions, lots of thoughts, and a lot of times we have indoctrinations that we're so sure from traditional things and from the elders, from people and we're so sure that they're right. I know I've had them in my lifetime in the past, only to learn that faith cometh by hearing of the Word of God; and that we examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith, then it must be in the faith that cometh by the hearing of the Word, to see if it really is the Word of God. And if our faith is founded upon the foundation of the Word of God, then beloved friend, we're alright. If we're founded, rooted and grounded in God's Word, then we're alright. But the Bible tells us in the last days, " They shall depart from the faith." Not departing from a denominational power, not departing from any ecclesiastical power, nor any organized effort. That's not it. You may depart from many things, but the thing is, departing from the faith means to depart from the Word of God. Depart from anything you want to. You're safe. But, oh let me tell you, don't build your faith and conviction on ideas and ideology. Don't do that. If you do, some day those shifting sands of theology and what you've been taught will begin to be shaky and then condemnation will strike, or hurt will come up in your heart and you'll be grieved because you're afraid that you can't go either way because you have been anchored in that which is not God's Word, and you can't get loose from it because of fear of transgressing something that is godly when it's not godly at all. So then beloved friend, in the beginning was the Word. The Word was God. Let's anchor in God this morning. He's the same yesterday, today and forever to every generation, He's the Word. Let's anchor in the Word this morning. Put our faith in the Word this morning and love Jesus. Can you just lift you hands and love him? Oh Heavenly Father as we offer our hearts to thee, again as we offer our minds to thee, oh Holy Father, feeling the mighty anointing of God, feeling the mighty Holy Spirit, feeling the greatness of almighty God this morning. Oh, how we do love thee, how we do praise thee, how we do look to thee this morning. Father, knowing that thou art the resurrection and the life, knowing that thou art with us this morning. Oh hallelujah! Feeling the loveliness of your dear Son this morning. Father, may his love be upon us. May the great Holy Spirit be with us. Oh dear God, as you speak from heaven this morning may the windows of heaven slip back and may you pour us out a blessing that we'll not be able to receive. For oh God, it is by thy love. It is by thy Spirit. It is by thy greatness, Lord that we survive the crisis of life and that we find our direction and our way through the wilderness. Be with us Jesus. If there be anything that's unlike thee in our hearts and in our minds oh Lord, eradicate it. Move it out this morning Heavenly Father. Lord, in every wound pour in the oil and the wine and Jesus give us thy love and consideration this morning and Father bring every thought into subjection to the obedience of Jesus this morning. Be with us and help us. In the name of Jesus Your Son. Amen. You can be seated. You know, I feel the Holy Ghost moving this morning. The Bible tells us that we should enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. That we should cast down imagination and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God. To bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Jesus Christ. For He will feed us the fruits of our thoughts. And this morning we need to really get our spirits in His spirit. And I feel that this morning, I feel the spirits surrendering to the Father of spirits this morning. Paul said, " I would speak unto you as unto spirituals." That God is a spirit. The God that I serve with my spirit that we should worship Him in spirit and in truth. Jesus told the woman at the well that we should worship in spirit and in truth. And that the true worshippers would worship God in such a way. So then let's worship God in spirit. Letting God bless us this morning to reveal to us and to say what He will. Do you love Him? Close your eyes just one more time. I feel Him this morning and He's trying to say something to us. Let's just close our eyes one more time. You know they that wait upon the Lord the Bible teaches shall renew their strength. Mount up with wings of eagles. Hallelujah! Lord, as the song has said, " Sweep over my soul." Sweep over my soul. Oh heavenly Father, sweep over my soul. May your spirit have the preeminence. For we know that it's not by power or might, but by your spirit Holy Father. Oh dear God, may thy spirit have the glorious preeminence in all that we say. For we realize oh God that the zeal of thine house has eaten thee up. And Lord with programs and with plans, Lord with the different ambitions and zeals of life, there hath been no room Lord for the moving of the Holy Spirit and Lord, as the song said, " Programs so well planned that it hath left out thy part." But, oh mighty Holy Spirit, may you this morning have the preeminence in all that we do Jesus. May you have the preeminence this morning to tell us exactly what you would have us to do. Lord, we love you and we praise you, looking unto thee the author and the finisher of our faith. Holy Father, I pray that your name will be glorified. I pray that your people would be blessed. I pray that they would be refreshed. In the lovely presence of the great anointing of the almighty God this morning. Have your way Jesus. Have your way. Praise God! Father, This morning speak to our hearts and minds. Oh Lord let him that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit sayeth unto the churches this morning. Oh God, let us hear what you're saying. Hallelujah! I feel God this morning. Just let Him have His way. Hallelujah! I feel Him moving. Let's love Him. Just love Him. Worship God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise the name of the Lord. Let's just love Jesus this morning. Praise God! Hallelujah! Let's love Him! Praise God! " With stammering lips and other tongues shall I speak unto this people; for all of this they will not hear me sayeth the Lord." Oh hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise God! Jesus. Hallelujah! Praise God! Hallelujah! Praise God! Hallelujah! Can you love Jesus this morning? Can you love Him while the Spirit is moving? Can you love Him? Oh I feel the mighty moving of the spirit of God this morning. Hallelujah! Let's just love Him. Hallelujah! Praise God! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Can you love Him this morning? Can you love Him? Hallelujah! Oh God! Have your way Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise God! Praise God! Let's just love Him just for a few minutes this morning. Let's just love Jesus. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise God! What a wonderful moment, what a wonderful hour. It's the greatest moment in the history of all of mankind. The greatest moment. Let's just love Him. Let's just praise Him. Give Him glory. Give Him glory all ye people. Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah! Praise God, Father, Lord, we love you. We love you. Hallelujah! Praise God! Praise God! I feel the Holy Ghost, don't you? Oh I feel Him all over me. I feel Him going up and down the avenues of my soul. I feel Him quickening my body. Feel that quickening that raised up Jesus from the dead. How many of you know that Christ is resurrected from the dead, that he's alive? They that have eyes to see,they can see Him. Two or three in His name, He gathers in the midst and He walks among us and He talks in our hearts and lives. And He's a real life. He's a real life just like that life that's in your body. He's a real life and just as you feel the inspiration of the life of your body you can feel the inspiration of His life when He comes near you. He is so lovely, so lovely, so sweet, so wonderful. Like the early morning refreshing of the rain. It is so beautiful. Hallelujah! Like a springtime morning when the birds are singing in all the trees. Oh, how beautiful. How beautiful. Glory to God! Hallelujah! Glory to God! Praise God! Praise God! While we worship just a moment. Keep your minds right in the spirit this morning. Paul said, " To be spiritual." And let's sing this chorus: "Jesus, sweet Jesus, what a wonder you are." Can we? Can we sing it? You know the gifts are in the church. God has placed the gifts within the church and when the Holy Ghost starts moving those beautiful gifts are there. You know, one thing that we understand. I know the rain comes on the just and on the unjust. It comes on the wheat and on the tare, both give forth their harvest according to the planting of the seeds and the reapers will cut them down. They'll be separated. The angels shall come forth in the end of the world. The Bible said, " The tares shall be bundled, gathered." They'll be cast into the fire. The wheat shall be gathered into garners for the meat for the masters use. The rain coming down, but you know one spirit, just one spirit, all over the audience, one spirit, one spirit. In every church, in every walk of life that worships God, one spirit. The Great Holy Spirit. But, the Bible said, " Many operations, many operations." That one spirit Paul said, it will come down, but the many operations which are the gifts, the helps, the governments, the ministry of the church, they will begin to function by that great inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the order of the church will be so lovely and so beautiful as the great Holy Spirit takes the wonderful church of God and sets it in such a beautiful church order program to where it will be so lovely. You know the same spirit coming down on a man that's got discernment, it will cause him to begin to discern. That same spirit coming down on a man that's got the gift of prophesy will cause that same spirit that is, coming down will cause him to begin to prophesy. That same spirit coming down on a person that has the gift of tongues, they will begin to speak in tongues, they will begin to speak in tongues because their inspiration will be according to their operation. You know, it's so beautiful in all of that there is a minister that's set in the church and he's got the church order in his hands, the Word of God. All of it is to be done according to the Word of God. And the Holy Ghost within that minister sets forth the Word. In the prophesy the church order was let two or three speak, that at the most, that one by one, or that is by course. Let your women keep silent if the prophets are there, for it is not permitted unto them to speak as also sayeth the law, but let the prophets speak. And you know it is so beautiful that as the great Holy Spirit moves, one may over-run the church order and it can still be the inspiration of the Lord coming down, because it comes down. But that's not pleasing to God to over-run the church order. You say," Well Brother Pike, you can't, you can't stop the Holy Ghost." It's not that. The Bible said, " The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet." It is the Spirit's prophet that's doing the prophesying. It is the Holy Ghost that's giving utterance and inspiration. On the day of Pentecost, it said," They spoke with other tongues." The Spirit was the one that gave them the utterance. And it teaches that the prophets who have spirits that are prophetical, those gifts, that if any prophet prophesy presumptuously that prophet shall die. Therefore it is again noted that it is the spirit of the prophet that is subject to the prophet. Let's sing this little chorus together. Can you stand with me while we worship the Lord? I just feel like He wants us to love Him just a little this morning. You that are spiritual minded, perhaps you can understand something that's taking place this morning. You that are not spiritual minded, I know you don't understand. It's like Brother Taylor said the other day, " One of the glorious things of Little Bethlehem is that it is a living message." It is a living, living, a bubbling, living thing, that is happening at Little Bethlehem all the time, and the great Holy Spirit is moving all the time. Something great and lovely is taking place all the time for those that have eyes to see. Can we sing it? (Brother Pike sings a song: Sweet Jesus.") Sing it again. (Brother Pike sings it again.) Don't you believe that He is? Alright, let's sing this little chorus together. We sing the chorus: Jesus, sweet Jesus, what a wonder you are, and then we sing the chorus: "Everybody Ought To Know." And you know If everybody ought to know, then everybody ought to know. And if everybody ought to know then there has to be somebody that must tell everybody. And if everybody ought to know then we ought to be the ones to make sure that everybody knows. Isn't that right? Can we sing it together? ( Brother Pike sings song.) Can you sing it with me? (Brother Pike sings again.) Sing it one more time. (Brother Pike sings it again.) Can you say,"Praise the Lord?" Alright, you can be seated. I think we'll change the order of the service. I want to talk to you just a few minutes this morning. I was searching to make sure that we followed the leadership of the Lord. Usually I have the leadership of the Lord before I come in, because I try to find it through the night, but if I'm in question at all about it, I like to check and re-check to make sure that I do the things that pleases Him. You know the secret of Jesus was: He said, " I do always the thing that pleases the Father." Always the things that please God. It tells us that before the translation of Enoch, that he had this testimony, that he pleased God. He pleased God. And I believe today that the only way that the church is going to be translated is that they have this testimony, that they please God. So then, I believe that we should try our very best to please God. I want to read from two different places this morning. The Book of Lamentations of Jeremiah, if you've got your Bibles I'd like for you to read with me. The first chapter, the first verse: (Brother Pike reads Lamentations1:1-2,8-9 ; Revelation10:1-11). Reading over in the Book of Revelation, Revelation 10, if you've got your Bibles. Let's read just a little bit here. The first verse. (Brother Pike reads scripture.) After the tenth chapter, I want to read a little more here. (Brother Pike reads Revelation 11:1-19; 12:1-17; 13:1-18). Following this we find the 144,000 being sealed. We find the angel flying through heaven that had the everlasting gospel to preach to them that are on earth, giving the warning that if any man take the mark, he shall drink of the wrath of God and that he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone. And then following this, we find him that set upon the white cloud that came forth with the sharp sickle in his hand ready to cast in the sickle to reap the vintage of the earth and then following he that came forth that had power over fire that would cast in the sickle to reap the vine that there would be no more harvest in the earth. And then immediately you find the seven plagues coming in, the viles coming in and then after this these great viles are poured out according to the Bible. The Lord speaks here of the great whore being cast down. Now following those things we find the city of New Jerusalem coming into view that we might take a look at these things that we just spoke of. Then concerning the great whore and then coming the millenium and then coming the resurrection from the dead which is called the second resurrection which is after the millenium. We find these things in that great city, that great city coming down. We find the celestial of God, the great White Throne of Judgement, as the sea and all of these things give up their dead. But we were talking yesterday concerning some of these things and it is really something the way it was expressed yesterday. To think that right at this very moment when the Lord had spoke of doing away with the great whore, He said the angel picked up a great millstone and it was cast into the ocean, saying, " Thus shall the great whore of that great city be cast down." And then this meteor coming here, due within seventy weeks, right here at the end of this thing,looks like it's being hurled right down from heaven right at this particular time, science saying that it would demolish a city like Atlanta or New York which is typical of the city of the great whore which relates back to Rome, right at this particular time stating that it would do that and that thing come hurling down out of heaven to let us know that the end of the world is really here. Right about the time that science says that the entire earth is going into a great convulsion. So then we see that something is really taking place like it has never taken place before. We see Mt. Sinai over here where they have given Mt. Sinai back to the Arabs, and I said the other night as I elaborated just a little bit on it, when Mt. Sinai left Israel it meant that the judgments of God had lifted from Israel. That Israel was no longer under the curse of the law where she had cried, " Let His blood be upon us and upon our children." And I said, " It related back to the Pope forgiving their sins as a type of Christ in the earth that Jimmy could bring forth the Peace Pact to show that Israel was no longer rejected but received." And when the Pope said that, " They themselves are guilty of the blood of Christ," that meant that from that time on it would be upon the Gentile people. You understand what I'm saying? That it would no longer be upon the Jews and God would receive the Jews, and that Mt. Sinai being given to the Arab people, going back to civilization that come up over in the land of Egypt, that means the people of America and all of the others are no more than a derivative from Egypt, that's all. In other words their civilization springs from Egypt because the Bible says that, " Salvation is of the Jews." So then that means that all of you are nothing but bonds children unless you are born again of the Holy Spirit being relative to the natural Jew over yonder which is the redemption of the body. Paul said, " If the casting away of the Jew be the reconciling of the world which means Christ coming to the Gentiles to get a bride, what will the receiving of the Jews be but life from the dead, which means the resurrection coming in. And we see this happening now. If Mt. Sinai has moved away from the Jews that means that peace has come to the Jewish people. And that means that the Gentile Days are over. It means that they have come to a close. Now you say, " Brother Pike, you mean to tell me that nobody else can be saved." I don't see that as you perhaps see it anyway, but according to the Bible the Gentile days are now closing out. When they gave that great mountain of Moses as we say to the Egyptian people it indicated that the people of the world have fallen from grace. The Bible said, " They that are fallen from grace are under the law." And when we as a people speaking naturally Paul said, " I say we, to keep from saying you," as a natural people in the first, in our first birth, that is to say when we as the Gentile people received Mt. Sinai, when we received it, it meant that the people's day of grace was over, that the blood was ready to come off of the mercy seat and that God's wrath was ready to be poured out upon the Gentile and God was ready to receive the Jews as life from the dead, which means the rapture of the saints of God is at hand beloved. The translation of the saints of God is at hand. It means that the message of God is at hand to bring forth the faith that Enoch had, to translate the church. For the Bible tells us that Enoch was translated by faith that he should not see death. I still contend that Enoch doesn't have to come back and die. I know people say, "Enoch has to come back and die." It's appointed unto man once to die after the judgement. I believe that Moses, I believe that Elijah will come back. I believe that because they were under the law, but Enoch was not under the law and the Bible said, " He was translated that he should not see death." If he comes back to die it will break the scripture. He is a type of the church. He will not be back to see death. Now Moses, Elijah, I know that they will come back because the only way that Israel will ever receive God is when Elijah and Moses comes on the scene as those two great prophets over there to do the things that God hath outlined for them to do. That is why that I believe that Moses and Elijah appeared on the Mt. of Transfiguration being the two olive trees that is on either side of God. I believe with all of my heart that they were standing there, Moses being typical of the resurrected saints and Elijah being typical of the raptured saints and Jesus being typical of the living saints and all of them standing there together on the Mt. of Transfiguration to tell us about the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. And I believe that when Peter said," Let's build three tabernacles," the voice speaking back saying, " This is my beloved son, hear ye Him," that it meant that God would tabernacle in one tabernacle and that's all, that the fullness of God or the fullness of the Godhead bodily or the tabernacle is within one, that is Jesus Christ. For the Bible said. " He was heir to the glory of God and that the spirit of God was given unto Him without measure." Every other prophet, every other man, every other person that ever walked the earth is given a measure of God's spirit. He was God manifested in the flesh. The Bible tells us that God the great Holy Spirit tabernacled in his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. And today the only salvation there is is in the name of that tabernacle or the name of that Lord Jesus Christ for to get to that God that's on the inside you have got to pass through the Son of God. It shall come to pass that whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved and the man said to Paul, " Paul be baptized calling upon the name of the Lord and wash away your sins." For it was stated that, " As my Father has sent me, so send I you." " Whosoever sins you remit shall be remitted; whosoever sins you retain shall be retained; whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." And I've said this a number of times that if the minister is sent to remit the sins and if remission is in the name of Jesus and if you're baptized for the remission, then put them all three together and he can take you and baptize you to remit in the name to take away those sins and for the remission of burial and you will not be the same person. The old man will have passed away as you call upon the name of Jesus you will become someone else in life. For you are buried in the body of the old man, you are resurrected in the life of the new man. And Paul said, "It's not I that liveth but Christ that liveth within me and the life I now live I live by the Son of God." Hallelujah! And it pleased God that God should reveal Christ in my life. What a wonderful thought to know that God is in his temple this morning saying that, " Christ shall suddenly return to His temple to be glorified within His saints." You know I made the statement the other night, you take a king that's coming in the first thing he would look for is his temple or palace. Isn't that right? To show forth himself in his great palace or his great temple. You take the Lord Jesus Christ, when He returns in the clouds of glory coming back to the Jew being relative to the Jew as far as the natural body, the first thing that He's going to do is look for that temple that's being rebuilt, the Temple Of Solomon, to go to that temple over there to show himself as Lord of Lords and King of Kings. But I'll tell you that there is a spiritual Christ that you can't see with your natural eyes that's been resurrected from the dead, and there is a spiritual Jew that that spiritual Christ is returning to as a spiritual revelation that He might come suddenly into His palace or into His temple that He might show himself to the world saying, " I will make them come and kneel at your feet and know that I have loved you." " Let all of the world keep silent for God is in His temple." Hallelujah! It said, " It shall not be you that speak but your heavenly Father that speaketh from within you." Paul saying that, " They glorified Christ within me." Alright, so then we see a wonderful thing taking place here when Mt. Sinai is given back to the Gentiles. What does it mean? It means that the Jews are free from the curse. It means that the Gentiles are now under the curse. Now you say, " Brother Pike, the Gentiles have always been under the curse." I beg your pardon. God gave a plan of grace. God gave a blood atonement and God gave that blood that it might take care of you and me until we had a chance to learn about His wonderful ways. God did that. Friend, if you had been under the curse, God would have literally destroyed you. There wouldn't be anything left of you. The wrath of God would have torn you to pieces. The Bible said, " Beware ye that forget God lest I tear you into pieces." That blood atonement has kept us within the second heaven. The second heaven, you have been in the second heaven. That's why in the Book of Revelation, when we read there, there reading in the twelfth chapter, when we read about the woman and her foot on the moon and those kind of things, the birth of the child, we understand why that the red dragon could be in the same place the woman was. Because the woman being the church is in the second heaven and she is with child and she is travailing in birth to bring forth. But at the same time because of grace in the world the red dragon is also in the second heaven. He is also in the presence of God, for the Bible said, " In the days of Job, that he came forth before God." And the Lord said, " Where have you been? " He said, " I've been going to and fro in the earth, doing this and doing that. " He said, " Have you considered my servant Job? " Which indicates that he can come into the presence of God. He can do it. Now you say, " Well, what does that mean Brother Pike? " It means that the blood is there, still on the seat of mercy for the wicked to have a chance to repent of their sins. You say, " But how can that be when God doesn't look upon sin, when He couldn't even look upon sin, when He couldn't even look upon His own Son? Because He took the life of His own Son, so He could give grace and put a blood atonement, put a shield between Him and between the wicked. And today God doesn't see the natural activities of mankind as far as his wicked adulteress ways. God doesn't see it. He keeps looking at the blood because Jesus vesture is setting right there on the mercy seat and every time God thinks about looking down at the wicked he looks at that wonderful blood vesture and he says, " My this is what my Son did for those people. " This is the love of my Son. " I'll hold back my wrath." I can't go past that." He loved them so much, he suffered and spilt His blood and gave up His life that they may have mercy. " I can't go beyond that." But beloved friend, let me tell you something. Just as quick as that vesture, that blood atonement move off of the mercy seat, God's going to look in that direction and He isn't going to see that blood standing between the wicked and between Him. He's going to look over there and that vesture is going to be gone and when He looks and that vesture has gone, God's going to be so stirred up in His wrath until He's going to turn this world upside down and shake it and literally rip it apart. It's going into convulsions from one end to another, because there won't be anything to stop the wrath of God. That vesture that's dipped in blood is sitting there. That blood is on the seat of atonement, that mercy seat still holds that blood and there that blood, that vesture's still there. That Christ on the inside that reached down in the heart of the earth, that picked it up and took it to the right hand of the Father and set it there, that Christ is absent from that body and that Christ is inside of Brother Pike this morning and that Christ is inside of the church this morning and inside of you this morning making intercession between you and between God, for it's the office of the High Priest this morning. God is making intercession between your body that is sinful and between Him this morning, that is Christ is. He is interceding with the Holy Spirit saying, " Father, let that Great Spirit come down here." Let that Great Spirit be present." But, oh brother, you can't imagine, you can't understand this morning what kind of condition the world is in and how close you are to the wrath of God. Just as soon as that vesture moves off of the seat of mercy, that angel goes straight up to that little golden alter. He takes that censer. He puts in those hot coals. He goes into that veil and when he goes in there then that mixture that they had back in the old testament, that mixture back there, that wonderful perfume, that went in there that no one could make any alike symbolized the Holy Spirit. When that is mixed with the coals of the fire of God's indignation the Bible said, " He'll take that and he'll cast it down on the earth." And when he cast it into the earth the Bible said, " There was earthquakes, all kind of things that begin to take place and everything begins to be shook up because it was the time of the judgement and the time of the resurrection of the dead. Hallelujah! I feel the Holy Ghost because I know that that great resurrection of God is getting closer and closer and closer and it makes me as the song said, " Want to fly away home, hallelujah. I'll be going home! What a wonderful thought this morning when I think about this glorious, glorious thing that I feel on the inside this morning. Hallelujah! With stammering lips and other tongues shall I speak unto this people, saith the Lord, " For all of this they won't hear me." The Holy Ghost just like a dove moving and wooing, that wonderful spirit of God moving among us. Mt. Sinai, it is come back, it is come back to the Gentiles. They are fallen from grace because the Bible said, " They that are under the law are fallen from grace." Coming back it indicates that they are fallen from grace, that grace is over because the blood atonement is about to be moved. It means that the priesthood work of Aaron which is in your heart in the temple in the tabernacle in the wilderness. Remember this tabernacle is in the wilderness of the intellectual mind. Isn't that right? You say," But Brother Pike, How can we be in heaven and still be in the wilderness? Because the Bible said, " The woman was the one that fled away in the wilderness." Isn't that right? The woman is in the presence of the Shekinah glory of God, just like Adam was. Remember, Adam was not born of the Shekinah glory of God. Eve was not born of the Shekinah glory of God. They did not have eternal life. Don't you ever let anybody tell you that they had eternal life. Because I say again," If they had eternal life, they couldn't have died." Eternal life means to never die, and God said, " The day that you sin, you'll die." But they were in the presence of eternal life. They had that great Shekinah coming down. That's the way it is with the world today. There are churches; Baptist, Methodists, Presbyterian, all kinds of people, Pentecostal that are in the presence of God today. The Catholic, all of them, even the Amish folks, all of them in the presence of the Shekinah glory of God that's coming down today. And the grace of God is over Little Bethlehem. All of us, its over us. We're in the presence of the Shekinah. But listen beloved friend, just as soon as grace is gone, then the Shekinah is going to lift. The Shekinah glory of God's going to lift and you won't have that eternal life present anymore. You won't hear the voice of the Bridegroom saying, " Let whosoever will come." You won't hear that wooing, that loving in the Spirit saying, " Come." You won't hear it anymore. The voice of the Bridegroom won't be heard anymore. For He said, "When the minister speaks it shall not be him that speaks, but your heavenly Father that speaketh from within you and He's wooing and He's calling and the Bridegroom is calling. See, when that Shekinah glory is lifted, why will it be lifted? Grace is gone. The blood off of the atonement seat. Adam and Eve, what happened? That Shekinah lifted. They went over to the beast mind, converted over to the beast mind. When they did they lost their sight of the faith of God which brings that great Spirit and they were cut off. They were left aside. Layed aside because they couldn't get to it anymore. Ever since then their children have been plagued with death. See, this body, this natural body, it's in a wilderness. It's in the carnal mind. The carnal mind is a wilderness. It's in a wilderness. Now, it has access to the second heaven by the overshadowing of the great Spirit. Mary was overshadowed with the Holy Ghost. She conceived of the Holy Ghost and she brought forth her child, her first born which was the Lord Jesus Christ. So then, it's so lovely to see that we have the presence of His glory, His blessing, but just think what are we going to do when its taken away? What will you do? What will I do if we're not right with God? What is the church world going to do when the Shekinah glory of God lifts, when the grace of God lifts? If they can't live for God while it's here, you know they can't live for God when it's gone. If while here it's still wooing and it's still loving and still protecting them, giving them the benefit of medical aid, giving them the benefit of the professional men of the world. Brother and sister, all of that will be gone. The Bible said, " There will be no healing medicine." There will be no great statesmen that can stand up and save them. No man shall save them in that day. Christ alone shall be exalted. See, in that hour, all of their benefits will be gone. Somebody said, " Well I don't see where it's heaven." I tell you when there's no more pills to take, when there's no more shots to take for pain, when there's no more protection from the devil and the heartaches and sorrows and woes and problems and murderers and all these things starts taking place, you'll say, " My God, we were in heaven." The foot on the moon. I've said this before that America symbolizes that woman. That red dragon is symbolized by Communism, by China's efforts to get to that woman, that Communistic thing, the dragon nation, trying to get to that woman like when the man came to visit with Carter. And Carter being played up as J.C. or Jesus Christ when they painted the beard and put his name J.C. or Jesus Christ indicates that man child being caught up and that dragon laying right in there to get that woman. Always after that woman, trying to kill or destroy that woman. That dragon laying in there, but the Bible said," That the dragon went out and when he went out a third part of the stars of heaven went out with him for he curled his tail around a third part of the stars and down they went to the earth. Just like back in the Dark Age when that great power of the papacy of Rome, that great eagle back there, when Satan moved, exalted himself up to the heavens according to Daniel's prophesy and reached in there and got the church, cast them down to the earth and trampled on them, back there, that same thing has got to come back and repeat itself. It's got to come right back and here Satan, a third part of the stars of heaven were cast down which makes me to know that when the days of grace are over and the red dragon goes out, that he's got a whole lot of people that's religious that's in the presence of the Shekinah, that's going to go out with him. They torment, they aggravate, they interfere with, all the time causing problems. The way Brother Red reacted he must have some of them down at his place that causes him some problems. But I'll tell you what, they won't give, they won't help, they won't work, they won't do anything. They're in and out and up and down and always causing problems and saying things and doing things. And oh beloved friend, let me tell you something, when the dragon goes out, they go out with him. A third part of the heavens goes out with him. Somebody say, " I love Jesus." And glory to God, but I'll tell you one thing, there are those the Bible said," That man child, that man child." Hallelujah! That man child! Who is he? Christ in you, the hope of glory! Who's carrying him? This woman's carrying him. The church is carrying him in the presence of the Shekinah, the second heaven. And there, who's carrying him? The woman's carrying him, but the travail is just about over. Hallelujah! Glory to God! You say, " Where is that? " Who is that child? Christ in you, the hope of glory. Where is he going? To the third heaven. What is the third heaven? It's going to be the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! The mind of God! Oh! Somebody said, " I don't believe that." I know it, because you're not the man child. I'm talking about the man child. God's blinded your eyes and the Bible says " That the prince of this world has blinded the eyes of them that don't see. " If this be hid it is hid to them that are lost, but glory to God, I'm glad that I'm so glad that I can say, " I'm one of them." Hallelujah! So then, where is that man child going? He's going into that third mind. Remember, there's three minds. There's a mind of man. There's a mind of Satan. There's a mind of God. The mind of Satan is the mind of angels. Isn't that right? The mind of man which is a beast mind. The mind of angels, satan, which is an angelic mind. The mind of God which is Christ's mind. Isn't that right? Those three minds. When you have a, when you have a dream, always remember, you might have a dream from either one of those three minds. You might have a dream from either one of them. Now, if you have a dream from the satanic angelic mind, then it is a corruptible thing and the Bible speaks of those people as being filthy dreamers. Somebody say, "Amen!" If you have another dream that comes from man's mind the Bible speaks of this dream as being from multitude of business. A man, He's so busy. But is you have a dream that comes from the mind of God, Daniel said," I dreamed and the vision of my head troubled me." That is a vision from God, beloved friend. Like Joseph's vision back there, Daniel's vision's, like Solomon's vision's, when the Bible said, " God spoke to Solomon in a dream." Now we understand that those three minds are working. Three powers which represent three lives. A spirit is a life. The life is a realm, a heaven. What kind of heaven? Let's say again, the Old Testament, the outer courts, the inner courts of the Holy Place, and the Innermost court of the Holies of Holies where the Ark of the covenant was itself. Now look at the church world around you. There is an outer court. Look at the United Nations, we'll say like that. There is the United Nations. What is the United Nations? It's that Holy Place. It's that inner court. What is Washington? That innermost court, which is a sovereignty from all of the states and country. Isn't that right? Called the White House, but which is that beyond the confederation of nation. It is the outer courts where all the fighting, all the trouble, all the wars are. You understand what I'm saying, but the blood always seems to be brought into the inner courts of the United Nations. Isn't that right? So then God shows us something through this. Because in the religious affairs, it's identically the same way. There is a great religious realm out there. There is one moving that's moving in the outer circumference, way out. And then there's another one that's the Holy Place, brought into a closer place with God. But oh beloved friend, there is another place and that place is the Holies of Holies where the priest, who is the High Priest of God, the body of the Lord Jesus Christ alone can go in. Hallelujah! Look at the Old Testament as the outer courts. Look at the New Testament as the inner courts of the Holy Place, but look at the revelation of John as the veil is rent in twain and he's caught right up in the presence of God when the Holy Spirit said, "Come up here John." Hallelujah! There is something that is taking place. We've spoke of it a lot of times when you look at the old testament you see that blood spilt. We said something about it in our vision the other night. You see that blood spilt, that blood's all spilt there continually. Isn't that right? Come over here. Just come just this side of Calvary. When you get on this side of Calvary, what do you see? That great big brazen altar, there's Calvary. That great big brazen altar. What is it? It's the lamb offering of the evening time, without spot, without wrinkle, without blemish. It is that great brazen altar. You say, "Why brazen?" Because Moses lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness. It shows us. It's the brazen serpent. It's the brazen altar. And the fire could never go out in the Old Testament. God said, " Moses this fire must never go out under this altar." And oh, I tell you the fire of God that burns on the wicked and consumes the sacrifice of God, it burns. It's an endless eternal flame. They call that flame by John Kennedy, the eternal flame. Brother that's not the eternal flame. You know that. But I'll tell you, God is the eternal flame and His wrath is burning eternally upon the wretched and upon the wicked. Now you say, " Brother Pike, but hell is not eternal." I know hell is not eternal. The Bible said, " Hell delivered up it's dead and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire." But it doesn't say the lake of fire wasn't eternal. Go right over there and it said, " And these flames will burn and burn." And the writer of the prophets said," Where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched." And the other writer said, " Eternal flames." So then there is something that's taking place. We see when this Mt. Sinai covenant came back, it indicated something. If you come over to the brazen altar, right from that brazen altar going through the Dark Age, the Dark Age being that veil, that dark veil, being that dark veil that must be rent in twain where the blood of the martyrs was spilt. All those things over through the Dark Age, all the way from about 606 over to 1520 when Bontiface and them were in rule over there. Bloody Mary and all of them coming in there all. All of those evils took place right down through the Church Ages. You can see that veil being rent right in the middle Brother Gary, coming right down the middle. Opening up and what was it? The Bible said, "The Ark of His Testament was seen in heaven." Hallelujah! When Jesus hung there on Calvary, being the temple of the living God, He said, "Destroy this temple. I'll raise it in three days." And they looked around and thought, "Lord, what are you talking about? It took years to build this temple." But the Bible said, " They understood not that He spake of His body, for ye are the temples of the Holy Ghost." And when He hung there, He was rent in twain. You say, " What do you mean, rent in twain? " The Lord separated from the Christ. For the Bible said, " He made in Himself two or twain, both Lord and Christ." Separated the Lord from the Christ. And brother when He separated the Lord from the Christ, it showed then and there that this body, the body of Jesus Christ went down into the heart of the earth to that journey in the wilderness over that blood age or that blood cross there, just like they came out of the wilderness over the Red Sea when the blood was applied. Went down into the heart of the earth just like Joseph did to get the keys down there to loose those souls in prison, right down in the heart of the earth. Stayed down there until the day that God called Him. Meaning that you and I were beholding not only the Lamb that was slain, but we were seeing the Jew put out of the mind of God. We were seeing the head, Jesus, being killed as a natural Jew and the membership of those natural Jews dying because they'd killed their king. Killed their own head. Being put into the outer darkness. I know you might not get hold of this, but Brother Atlee knows what I'm saying and some of the others, the Amish people today represent those Jews. I can prove it in Revelation and that's why they're here this morning. And that's why David is here this morning because David represents the King of Jews. They're here this morning by the Revelation of Jesus Christ. The thing that is taking place to show what God is doing this morning. That's why the Amish people have dressed in black all these years. That veils there but God rent that veil. Hallelujah! He took it away when He separated the Lord from the Christ. That body went down to the heart of the earth. Those Jews had wandered out of the presence of God. All these many years, wandering in darkness. You say, " Why darkness Brother Pike? " Because God said, " Paul turn my people from darkness unto light." Which means intellectual reasoning that came from the garden fall through the beast mind. It's darkness, it's death. To be carnally minded is death. There's no faith in it. Turn my people from darkness unto light. That's what God said do. What is light? The mind of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. That old intellectual tree of knowledge out yonder of college and of seminaries, schools. All of that's manmade dogma and reasoning, but God is a spirit. Jesus said, " My words are spirit and they are life." Hallelujah! It's the quickening! So then that body being rent in twain, coming up. Look at it. Two thousand years. Just perfect the way that God planned it. Symbolizing the two days before the millenium come in and God brought Him forth for the third day to see that it didn't reap corruption. The Jews wandering for two thousand years because the body went down in two days. A day is with God as a thousand years, a thousand years is a day. Coming right on around and then that day of rest, the great millenium, hallelujah, coming in with the Sabbath of God coming in. Hallelujah! That thing coming in wherein God rested, and God said, "I'll bring them forth just before they see corruption." This has to do with Brother Branham followers. God's going to make a move among Brother Branham followers and bring them out just before the skin worms begin to work in their body with that old intellectual idea of quotes and whatever they have back there. God's going to bring them out. The same quickening spirit! Hallelujah! Like I said the other day. I don't mean this wrong. But they ask me the question down there. They said, " What is your absolute?" I said, " God's Word is my absolute." Somebody said, " The books are our absolute." You can't do that. You know you can't do that. If you believed what God's prophet said, Brother Branham said; Brother Branham didn't have any book. There wasn't any books written. He took the Word as his absolute. And from that Word those books came. Hallelujah! So then if we're going to be like him, we've got to do what he said do. " Stay with the Word." Let the spirit of God come down; stay balanced in that Word, so that God can bring us out, and those intellectual giants of skinworms can get out of there and the little children of God can come together and have a great time in God as God raises up shepherds after His own heart that love them, that will feed them into the fountains of living water. So then coming up, here we can see it. Those Jews, two thousand years wondering, what is it now? Here comes J.C., Jimmy Carter, bringing peace. " Glory to God." The time is at hand folks. The resurrection of the dead. Now I made this statement, the religious walk that comes from the Jews first, the Catholics and then from the Catholics to the Protestants, like a telescopic view of it, that Protestants will go back to, right back into the Catholic and the Catholic will go right back to the Jewish people. All of them will line up just like you push that little telescope together. All of them will come back together because they died from Calvary, the body the Jew, the soul the Catholic, the spirit the Protestant. And to pick it back up the Protestants have to go back to the Catholic and the Catholics have to go back to the Jew and all of them will stand together as one great body of people. Then God, then the Lord Jesus Christ will appear unto them. From the Mt.of Olivet, you know I said this the other night. The first day of the Jewish months comes in Abib. That day is the day where they spill the blood down in Egypt. The blood is applied. The midnight cry. At that midnight cry down there in Egypt, they have a passover. They celebrate that passover feast down there. That feast of the passover, that's the first thing they do. Now then they came over the Red Sea which has to do with the crossing over there when Moses and them came over the Red Sea. It was a crossing over of Calvary. It was the blood applied. It was the lamb that was killed at Calvary. They came over. They went into a wilderness. They went into a wilderness to wander because their second feast was on the second day, the feast of unleaven bread which meant no Gentiles could be with them. Nobody could be with them. And they wandered for forty years. You know that reminds me of what the Bible says that , " Two great wings of an eagle took these people into a wilderness, the woman. " And I made the statement, I said, " The message that Brother Branham preached, that great, great eagle message,took those people into a wilderness." Got them out of Egypt by great signs and mighty wonders. Took them out into the wilderness in the desert of Arizona and there they died; stayed there. Put there as far as the natural part of it and the world didn't know nothing about them. Gone! Wouldn't listen to them and the more they said the worse the thing got. But oh hallelujah! It's like I said the other night when that woman, that child is born, that woman goes out, crossed that Jordan, down in the land of Moab, down in the land of Ammon, over there to the cities of refuge, over there where Elijah's cave was. Over there to Mt. Sinai, over there where the Ark of the Covenant supposedly is hid. Going in there in the Valley of Petra, getting in there, finding that Ark of the Covenant. When she goes in there she'll discover it and then she'll see the true Ark of the Covenant, which is the Lord Jesus Christ. Then she'll come out of there. Hallelujah! And remember what the two prophets have taught her. She'll come out of there. It's the same way with Brother Branham's followers. They are going to discover that Ark. They're going to say,"It's not gone, it's still here, it's not gone." And what, what is that Ark going to be? The Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of Spirit. They're going to discover it. Until then they're going to hold to the quotes of Moses over and over, but listen. There is something that is taking place right now. This second heaven, that woman, she's delivering a child. That childs going up to the third heaven. When that child is caught up, brother that is the end. That means that America is finished. That means it's all over. That means the world is finished. That means it's going into a convulsion. From Calvary coming through that Dark Age, it is denoted so very clearly that that is the Holy of Holies, the second part, which shows the New Testament. And I said, " The other night, here they have loaves, two loaves of bread, one here, one here, six to a stack, the twelve apostles. It's shown in that Holy Place on the table, the shewbread, there it is and there is the candlesticks over against it, which is the seven church ages and there is the priesthood, sons of Aaron, which is the Catholic people that dominated that part of time back there. The Dark Age which believe in the priesthood, going in and there it was. All of it right there, but when the veil was rent in twain was when the Ark of the Covenant come which indicated over there when Martin Luther stepped out about 1520 and begin to show them the way out and when they come out of that thing, when he nailed up his thesis over there, hallelujah, on the German church door there and defied the Council of Worms and came out because the worms had about got them. Somebody say, " I love Jesus." He defied the worms and brought them out. Hallelujah! When he brought them out of there and then there lay before them the land of Canaan. There lay America. There lay that great God nation. There lays that place we live in today that flows with milk and honey. There was the Ark of His Covenant, which was that great Holy Ghost teaching and the people of God that loved Christ and I know that in this dimension that we're living in there's several types. I realize that, but they're people that love God. All of these have got their place and they're falling into certain categories until they finish their course and all of them will come together to that love of God and the Revelation of Jesus Christ. One thing we see beloved friend, there is something that's taking place. That Jewish body, it's dead out of the presence of God. It's coming in now. That Catholic dominating power that will rule the earth, that is the Roman paganistic power, so ruthless that ruled the earth the way it did. That power shows the soul that Jesus took down into the heart of the earth, for Jesus' soul went into hell so that my soul would not have to go into hell. And the Bible said, " God suffered not the soul of His Holy One to remain in hell, nor His body to see corruption." He brought it forth and then the spirit of that body when it was rent there at Calvary, when God disected into three parts, body, soul, and spirit to give us the church ages and the break down to show us His body. Just like the study of physicians in human anatomy; there that spiritual part which was the protestant, represented by the protestants, that Holy Ghost at Pentecost. Where did they go? They went up to heaven. One went into the grave which was the Jews cut out in the darkness. One went down into hell, which was the Roman paganistic powers back there, that showing the soul of Jesus there when the martyrs were literally killed and just slaughtered as the Jewish people went through there. It's represented by the Catholic people and then in the third part it came over here with the Jews; found the haven of rest here. More they say in New York than over in Jerusalem. Found a haven of rest over here, the spiritual part, that body disected into three parts. Then he said, " I'll bring them back on the wings of an eagle." When America came in and he began to pull them back when they were restored as a nation back about 1947, when the angel appeared to Brother Branham and I was converted back there and something started happening in my life and in their life. Things begin to take place. Now look at it for just a minute. Seeing that the Protestant Age represented that, then those people that were filled with the Holy Ghost went into heaven. You say, " Brother Pike, can you prove that by scripture? " If I preach something that won't fit the scripture, it's of the devil and if you preach something that won't fit the scripture, it's of the devil, because the Bible teaches that we're to try the spirits by God's Word. The Word and Spirit agreed because it's Christ and Jesus coming back together. Hallelujah! And I can prove it for the Bible said, " God hath translated us into the marvelous kingdom of our God." Said, " They'll come from the east. They'll come from the west." They'll set down in the place of the children of the kingdom." Is that right brethren? But He said, " You yourselves speaking to the Jews that was under the kingdom of David, you shall be cast into outer darkness." " There shall be weeping and wailing and nashing of teeth." They went out from the presence of God. Right there at Calvary, they went out and the Gentiles came from the east and west and were translated into the marvelous kingdom of God. The Jews went through the Dark Age and weeping and wailing and nashing of teeth and still by the wailing walls they stand over there until this very day waiting for the Messiah. Not having recognized Him. They said, " Will you at this time restore the kingdom unto Israel? " Oh listen beloved friend how He answered them. He said, " It is not given unto you to know that time nor that season. Hallelujah! God had reserved that at His own power. He said, " My kingdom is not of this world. If it was my servants would fight." The Jews were confounded because the prophesy was that the Son of David would come and set on the Throne. But they had it just a little bit out of context. You say, " Brother Pike, how did Jesus tell them those things, knowing that He was going to come back and set on the Throne? " Because it wasn't the Jesus doing the talking. Jesus said, " It's not you speaking. " I don't do the works. My heavenly Father. It was Christ on the inside going to get the Bride and Jesus back there, it was ordained to death at Calvary and that Christ was saying, " My kingdom is a spiritual kingdom." They that worship me shall worship me in spirit and in truth." Glory to God! But I'll tell you what when Jesus comes back on that white horse in Revelation 19, that vesture dipped in blood, when He picks it up, takes it off of the mercy seat and the saints of God following, you'll find out that they'll do obeisance unto Him and they'll bow down and they'll flow to Him. Let me say this right hurriedly and we're going to close. In that second feast of coming through that non-leaven bread, then that third feast comes in there which is their barley harvest. One, two, three, coming in there, the barley harvest coming in there and they celebrate that first day. That is the cluster of barley harvest that they wave like this because that barley harvest represents the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They call it the first fruits. The Bible said, " The first fruits of them that slept." From that time of the barley harvest they have what they call the feast of weeks which is about fifty days in there, bringing forty days from the time that Jesus was resurrected in the ingathering of that barley harvest over to the time He was caught up into that cloud there at the mountain over there at Mt. Olivet and then from that forty days, ten days from there over to Pentecost makes the fifty days where leaven is mixed with the bread of the wave offering or the loaves bringing it down to pentecost which came in as a spiritual thing which was by measure in that He said, " The Gentiles or the leavening wouldn't mix," after they got over the Jordan which was the conquering of death over the grave. Jesus going over it. That right there took care of it. Jesus at Calvary, the Passover. Jesus in the heart of the earth, the wilderness wandering that had layed aside by forty days of fasting, Jesus the resurrection, coming over death, over the grave, which means the mind of Christ in you the hope of glory, the resurrection and the life, coming over that old bodily tomb of yours bringing that man on the inside out into the presence of God, translating him into the Kingdom of God. For the saints got up and walked about through the town. Listen now just a few minutes as we close. As this came up, Jesus there was forty days, then there was ten days, then from that time the church ages, which beloved has to do with the times of the Gentiles. And then there was two or three months that lapsed. The Jews didn't do anything because from Pentecost it was the gathering of the wheat harvest. And on over to the end of the gathering of the wheat harvest, what was it that had taken place? There at the end of the wheat harvest on the seventh month there brings about the first day, that trumpet sounded to gather Israel. Isn't that right? For they had two trumpets and one of them sounded to gather Israel and when God had sounded that trumpet to gather Israel together the next trumpet that sounded put them forth into battle and I believe with all of my heart that the first trumpet of our age that represented that thing that followed so beautifully was when Brother Branham sounded that trumpet gathering them out of Egypt, gathering those folks together back there bringing them out with mighty signs and wonders that was to gather the people of God together. You say, " Why do you say that?" Because he left them just like Moses did in the wilderness. He went by Sunset Mountain and said, " She's setting. I have to go home." Amen. Glory to God! Amen! Now then, but that next trumpet that sounded Israel went forth into battle and the church is waiting to move. " I'll bring forth my mighty army saith the Lord." Hallelujah! " They'll march hand in hand, won't break ranks, won't pierce each other through." Those men will move like mighty men. Hallelujah! You love Jesus? If you do just say Amen! Alright, so then when that harvest, when that celebration came of the seventh month, the first day, another feast. The Feast of the Trumpets. Those trumpets sound. And then down the middle, about the tenth day of the seventh month here comes that atonement from Aaron that always went in with that blood to make atonement. Remember this, when Aaron went into that place, if he tarried a long time it meant woe, woe, woe. If he returned hurriedly everything was alright. Now get the picture of it. When Jesus Christ, when Christ came up, He went up into the Holies of Holies up there, ascended high above everybody, brothers and sisters, He went up there and He wasn't up there but just a little while and He came back to Brother Pike and said, " All is well." He came back to the church and filled the hearts of the church with a rejoicing and said, "The Father said, " All is well." But I want you to know that He hasn't come back to the Gentiles yet. It's going to be woe, woe, woe upon the world because He tarried long. It's got to be something going on. There's something wrong somewhere. Amen! And when He comes back in Revelation 19, He's coming back with sword. A vesture dipped in blood. So then that atonement of the seventh month, the tenth day, where He comes down, He sets His feet upon the Mt. of Olivet. He said, " Children," or those angels said, "Men of Galilee, why stand ye here gazing in the heavenlies? This same Jesus that you saw go away shall so come again in like manner." And a cloud received Him up out of their sight. But one day He's coming on that great cloud again and He's going to, He's going to set His feet down upon the Mt. of Olivet. And the Mt. of Olivet is going to cleave in half. And out from there is coming that water, coming down that's going to run down that hill into the Dead Sea. The Lord said to me, " James Isaac the promised son, the faith of the fathers, the waters will be healed." That's what He said. And there we saw a great thing take place as we went by the Mosque of Omar, and we saw the Dome of the Rock there where Abraham's son was laid there to be killed and the Lord spoke to my heart and I threw that tract over there on the Dome of the Rock and there where the Moslems got it and I cried out in my heart, " I claim this for Christ." Hallelujah! " And I claim this back for this Jewish people and for God, for the apple of God's eye." Hallelujah! And that's when Brother Berretta flashed that camera and took the picture that shows the face of the devil on a post over there and those people were just having a fit in there, wanting to know what went on. And we just eased on out and kept on going. Standing from the Mt. of Olivet I've said this a number of times, looking down across the valley there, where that blood's going to run to, that valley's going to run with blood. Looking down across there, that little old trail goes down through there from the Mt. of Olives up here right down to the Eastern Gates that one day is going to be opened. He triumphantly rode in on that Palm Sunday they closed those gates. Those gates have been closed. They are still closed. They are still closed and waiting for the coming of the Messiah. When Jesus comes down upon the Mt. of Olives, He'll go down that little trail and the Bible said, " The glory of God shall fill the whole valley, fill the whole area, break right through into the city and there where the temple is He will return into His temple. For then they will anoint the Holy Place which is the tabernacle, and then they'll anoint Jesus and I'll be there to see it happen. Glory to God! And anoint Him the most Holy, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Hallelujah! But He'll come down that little old mountain trail right down through there, come through the Eastern Gates. The water going down will heal the Dead Sea, because the Dead Sea, people being waters in type, the Dead Sea represents Israel. Nothing living in them. But when Israel is accepted by the blood atonement, at the same time the waters healed the Dead Sea to show that there will be living life in the Dead Sea to show that Israel is accepted. And you know they say there's more wealth in the Dead Sea alone than all of the rest of the wealth of the earth. That means that when that Jewish fellow comes in, when those Jewish people come in, they're going to have more God and more power and more wealth, like Elijah and the prophets of old than all the rest of the church world put together. Amen! That's right. So then on the last day of the seventh month comes their last feast, which is on the fifteenth or the twentieth. Coming in on the last day, here, or the 22nd I believe it is, here as it comes in it is called the time of Israel's rest. Now this is what we're all looking forward to. The time of Israel's rest. They take palm leaves and they put them together and they make booths. They did this over in Canaan. They dwelt in these little booths to commemorate the days of the wilderness wandering when they went down to the waters by the palms of Elam where they rested from their pilgrimage. They celebrated it after they got into Canaan. And the end of the seventh month it indicates the millenium of God coming in to bring forth the end of all things which is when it brings the end of all things, it will be Israel's rest. They will have peace after the atonement. Brothers and sisters, I know that it's hard for you to accept it. It's hard for you to believe. It's hard for some of you to see. But we are living in the very analysis of time. I mean the pendulum on the clock is about to strike it's last few times. Everything is about to wind up. When that angel sounded of Revelation 10, the Bible said, " And the seventh angel sounded and the mysteries of God should be finished." Said John, " Don't record those thunders." Leave them alone." Why? Because no man was to get those thunders. Those thunders belong to the church. They belong to the church. He said, " You go back John." You'll be the one that'll prophesy to many nations. " You'll be the one that will go before kings and great rulers." And then the Bible said, " When the seventh seal was opened, then went forth that last trumpet and it began to sound. And the Bible said, immediately when it began to sound, what happened? " Immediately Lucifer went out." Come on now. The Bible says, " Lucifer went out, which meant that that angel of Revelation 10 was nothing less than the Lord Jesus Christ back at Calvary because Jesus said, " I beheld Satan fall from heaven as lightning." I saw him fall. That man in Revelation 10 was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. That angel of the covenant with that rainbow over His head, back there the veil was rent. The tabernacle was open. The Ark of the Testament was seen. John who was just a few short years after Calvary did one thing and that is record the Book of Revelation, interpreted it, made it a revelation. That is, it was Calvary. It was the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. He made the crucifixion an open book of revelation. That's what he did because what he recorded was exactly the crucifixion. And everything that you find in the Book of Revelation points to that whereas God manifests it through human beings, through human instrumentality. He is a God of the spirit through many operations. He uses a member over here and a member over there, the same Jesus giving Him all the glory, going back to Him that He might use this member of that member or another member to show Christ's life in the earth. Always showing about the life of Christ being His lamb of sheep delivered to the slaughter. The Bible said, " Killed all the day long. Accounted as sheep for the slaughter." In these things we're more than conquerors through Christ who loved us and gave Himself for us." Always these things that we see. Always Christ in you and I always showing the life of Christ, but look at it for just a minute now. That woman with the foot on the moon, Israel showing the body, going into the wilderness, the man child, Jesus, being caught up to the throne of ruling, because right now He's the atonement on the throne, the ruling. We as the people of God, natural part, paralleling with the Jew. The body being dead, Paul said, " Because of sin," the inner Christ being translated into the kingdom of God, life because of Jesus, resurrection. So then the woman going into the wilderness over there after the child is caught up, the dragon finds himself in the earth because when grace is lifted there is no more grace. When the blood comes off the grace is gone. That means that he'll be right where he was as far as he's concerned, but that dimensional thing will fade away and he'll be like he woke up from a dream; he'll be in the earth. He won't be in the spirit anymore. There he'll be in the earth because grace will be lifted. The blood will be gone. All of his followers will be setting right there with him because the church will be raptured which is going up to the third heaven, because the catching up of the man child, that's what it is in the spirit. Going up to the third heaven. We as the church at the first of the week raptured out, caught up about the fourth chapter of Revelation, going over the Tribulation period, riding back down, coming down on the white horses of Revelation 19. And then when we come back taking up our rulership over there to reign with Him a thousand years coming back down to the throne. Jesus caught up to go over to the millenium to set down on the throne. While He's in the spirit, that is the atonement of mercy, but brothers, when He goes to the ruling throne, Lucifer goes out. That means the Throne of the Millenium where He rules in the throne of the millenium. So then, it is a true fact that the whole thing is at an end. The middle of the week is when these things transpire. That woman goes in there for a times, times and a half times. God will take care of her. Nobody will be able to find her. He'll make war with the remnant of her seed, just like he cut a dress out and the left overs. He can't find the real thing so he'll make war. The Bible said concerning Antichrist, he'll stretch out his hand over all the world. He'll take all of them into control, but these shall escape and it speaks of Ammon and Moab being the children of Lot from that awful thing that happened at Sodom and Gomorrah. Remember how it happened. And God spares them just like He does the tribe. That is the place of the refuge where they will hide away for these will escape the hand of antichrist. Now, I believe that if we can understand this morning that we'll comprehend one thing and this is what I wanted to say. I said all of that to say this, that when this thing took place a voice cried out. What did it say? " Now, now is come power." Now is come power." Now is come the joy, the glory, the love." All these wonderful things that was promised to the children of God for the accuser of the brethren is cast out." Now is come the perfection of the church. Now is come God's full blessings upon you. Now is the redemption of your body that the spirit seals you unto. Now then, you are sealed. Having been sealed by the circumcision of heart. Now then you find the redemption or the purchased possession, Paul said, which is our body. Longing and groaning, the whole creation waiting for the manifestation of the Sons of God. Then it will come. Then God will set the entire earth in order, the government of God in order. Usher in the millenium. Everything will be just right. Just right. I'd like for you to stand with me. I believe that everything is at an end. There's a lot of things we could say this morning because the inspiration of what I see would take quite a long time yet to finish this message. But I believe that in what we see this morning in the few things that we spoke of is enough to make us understand that something is taking place. The spirit of the Lord was moving so beautifully at the first of the service. So lovely it was moving. And I didn't want to interfere with it in any way. That's why I waited like I did. I wanted to be sure, positively sure that we pleased Him. Doing always the things that pleased the Father. To me that is the important thing. If you can please God with your deeds, please God with your words, please God with your thoughts. David was a man after God's own heart. The Bible said, " You know we should be so careful as even to the intents of our heart." Because He will feed us the fruits of out thoughts. Therefore let our thoughts be good and if anything have virtue in them, think on these. If anything be lovely, Paul said, "that is godly and pure," think on these because when the little woman got her healing, wasn't it because of the virtue that came out of Jesus body? Isn't that the same thing today that's going to heal? " Make straight paths for yourself lest the lame be turned aside but rather let him be healed." Being a flashy evangelist, having TV, having tents, all these things, people, great multitudes,that isn't going to get the job done. See, you might make a fuss and it might look good, look like a lot of things happening. You may blind the people, but folks it says when you make straight paths for yourself that virtue will build up in your life that will bring a real God deliverance and a real God healing and a real revival to the heart of mankind. It's always been that way with God's people, with Peter, James and Paul, with Elijah and the others. Contending for the faith that was once delivered to Elijah, to Moses, to Abraham. Paul and Peter said this in their day, pointing back to those great men of old, the faith of old, contending for the faith that was even brought over to them; what a wonderful thought. Let's sing a little chorus together, can we? I love you and I appreciate everyone of you. I hope that you can be ready. I hope that I can be ready. I know that we can. We either are or are not the predestinated of God. We're all predestinated. But, beloved friend, all are not the predestinated of God toward eternal life. Now I say this again, so many people are mixed up on predestination. Don't be foolish. Just because you've had a experience, that doesn't mean you're predestinated. Because you belong to a church, because you're religious, because you're affiliated with somebody, because you confess Christ, that doesn't mean you're predestinated. And the Bible said, " Esau sought repentance with bitter tears and found no place for repentance." The reason is the gifts and the callings of God are without repentance. You can't repent and get saved. You may repent all you want to, like Esau did; but the gift of God is without repentance. It's through the predestination of God. When the ministry preaches you'll hear the voice is you're one of His sheep and you'll come. Even though He has said, " Let whosoever will, He hath made it free to all. " But before of old, some men were ordained unto condemnation." "Ungodly men, turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, bringing upon them the swift, swift destruction that comes from God and the wrath of God." But you know the predestination of God is this: the Bible said, " According to the foreknowledge of God we are His elect." That is what He foreknew about us. He elects us unto grace. And Paul said, " Nobody can lay anything to the charge of God's elect." God justifieth. We are first of all, I say this to your hearts to encourage you, we are first of all predestinated, next justified, next sanctified, next glorified, for the Bible said, " He hath glorified us." And I've said this before, Martin Luther brought a good message of justification and so did Wesley an sanctification, but beloved friend today this is the message of glorification for God hath also glorified us the Bible tells us. To have that effective in our body to the change, we must believe. Believe in justification, it comes. Believe in sanctification, it comes. Believe in the change, the glorification, it comes. We by foreknowledge, being His elect, being God's elect, we are predestinated in Christ. Always remember that. If you do not walk in Christ, I want you to hear this. If you do not walk in Christ, if you do not live as Christ Jesus lived, walk and talk as Christ Jesus lived, you are not the predestinated of God in Christ. Now you slip, slid, do things wrong, whatever, be careless, undone and say, " Well, I'm child of God." I'm one of the predestinated. But beloved, you are predestinated in Christ, in the Word. That means that the predestinated of God will constantly show forth the fruits unto holiness, the end thereof being everlasting life. Christ in you, and you in Christ, for we in the Word and the Word in us. If you are not walking in Christ it is no good. I remind you of what the prophet said, " Though you do good and turn and do wickedly, all of your righteousness shall not be remembered." No, not as a predestination. No matter what you did, in your sins ye shall die. If you do wickedly and turn and do good, all of your sins shall not be remembered, that is against you. In your righteousness you shall live. So in the foreknowledge of God, Jesus said, " He that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved, for I saw him in my foreknowledge, ordained them unto eternal life." But those that did not endure until the end that went this way or that way, I did not predestinate them in Christ. You will notice that they do not walk upright and according to the Word; therefore they are not in Christ and they are not the predestinated of God. Let's sing this little chorus together. (Brother Pike sings: Sweep Over My Soul). Can you sing it again? Can you step out to the altar for just a minute this morning beloved friend? Can you do it? Can you just a minute while they sing? Don't you love Him this morning? If you love Him lift your hands up and love Him. Oh hallelujah! I feel His presence here. (Brother Pike speaks in tongues). Hallelujah! I feel His love and His glory this morning. (Brother Pike speaks in tongues). Oh I feel the love of God this morning. Hallelujah! You're the saints of God. You're His beloved this morning. You're the apple of His eye this morning friend. Oh hallelujah! You belong to Him this morning. He loves you. He loves you. Let's love Him for just a few minutes, can you? Oh the rapture is so close at hand. The translation is so close at hand. Something is taking place. Something is taking place. Don't you love Him this morning? Don't you want Him this morning? Don't you want to go with Him this morning? Oh hallelujah! They sing that song, " I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in." I want to be in that number. I want to be in that number. Oh, if we're not in that number in this world beloved friend, we won't be in that number there. We have to be in that number here to be numbered with the saints of God, if we intend to be in that number over there. If you want to be numbered with Christ in the resurrection, Paul said, " We have to be numbered with Him in His suffering for they that suffer with me shall also reign with me." Oh I seek to know Him in the fellowship of His suffering, being made conformable unto His death. Hallelujah! That I might know Him in the power of His resurrection. Hallelujah! I feel the power of His resurrection, beloved. I feel the power of His resurrection. I feel the power of His resurrection this morning. Hallelujah! Let's love Him this morning. I feel the power of His resurrection this morning. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Love Him. Hallelujah!
