Present Day Truth

...typical meaning, and these things along with a lot of other things they are really stirring, and maybe sometimes I'll comment on them. A lot of things are taking place. We received a call from Brother George Smith yesterday and talked for quite a long while and he still, as of yet, hasn't been able to locate the cave. He thought perhaps he had, but then he seemed to realize he hadn't and he was wanting me to come up there. I told him that right now it was to where I had my meetings coming up and a few things and I didn't see where I could get up in that area right now. But I am sending somebody up there to visit with him and help him out in trying to locate the place. The cave has great significance, great outstanding significance, and of course that is why there is so much commotion over it. He said, I cannot understand why that down through the years that not any of us has ever been able to locate that cave. But there is a reason for that, and of course, I would not have found the cave anymore that anybody else had not the Lord spoke to me when He told me here to go up there and He'd show me the cave. And of course when I went up there, as you know, there was some brethren that was with the Brother Branham following that- I remember one in particular that was very forwarded about it. Well, he was over confident and he said, I'll just show you the cave. And of course, he took me out there and when he got out there he couldn't find nothing. He looked and looked until I was disgusted, I and the brethren, so we finally left. But just about the time that I was discussing this about finding the cave I remember Brother Grady Pike, my brother, walked up behind me and the two or three other brethren walking down from Bethel Reserve here and said, You know, it's the strangest thing. Not knowing anything about what we had said, he said, The strangest thing. I had a dream that_ Spoke of us going up and finding the cave. And of course we did. We went up there and the brethren that went with me, the Lord wouldn't let me take but one brother with me when I went to find it. And he will tell you that it was very odd and strange the way the Lord directed us, and very odd in that he spoke to us right in the middle of the creek, as to the place, when there was no cave and no nothing. And it turned out it was exactly there. As Brother George was telling me yesterday, if you notice that name has come in numbers of places, numbers of places all of a sudden. And the reason is because it has to do with the expulsion of Lucifer and the casting out of Satan. Like David of old, said, I hate evil with a perfect hatred. And this is the time of the casting out and the expulsion, as to Judas. Remember the casting out of Lucifer will be right out of heaven, which means out of the church, because that's where Judas was. One was a devil, and Satan, himself, the son of perdition, and he's in the church, in the human bodies, in the religious attire of today. But anyway, he, George, is pressing us to that about the cave, and he said, I've got to be sure, Brother Pike. Said, I'm writing a documentary on it, and said, I don't want to say a whole lot about the cave. Said, Because if I do there will be so many people around that cave, they will be picking up bones and everything else. He said, I don't want to do anything to draw people to the cave. Said, I just want to find that cave because it was a part of Brother Branham's life. He spoke quite a number of times about his little cave. And he knows that everything we have said fits it. He said, I received your pictures and he was thrilled over the pictures. And of course, Sister Betty gave him some pictures of Brother Branham. Becky talked with her I think and wanted some pictures of Brother Branham, which they did not have, which we did have. The Lord had blessed us with them through Brother Wright. Brother George said he was thrilled over those pictures. Well, anyway, the little cave fits every description. As I've related to you before, one of the descriptions was that a person could be right on the top of it and never see it and never find it. Whereas, I sent my brethren to it and gave them directions and they went to it, walked right up on top of it, stood on the top of it, from the directions, and then walked off and left it. They couldn't find it. Brother David Paul, I had instructed him as to certain things he must look for at that point, which he did, and found it and called the brethren back, I understand, and they found the cave. And then another thing was that there was a little walk around that went from the top down to the mouth of the cave. And I say this for your benefit because people doubt. They say, Well, God said it and you know, so much for that. But they don't really believe we found the cave. But nevertheless, it had the little walk around that come down from the top of the cave down to the mouth of the cave just like Brother Branham said. He would come out, walk around that little walk around, go up on the top of it, sometimes see the horizon that's comes up. Well, you could see the horizon. Then another thing he said, he said, Out in front of the cave there is a tree. The tree has fallen out in front of the cave, and said, Out in the front of the cave this tree is laying there, and I would go out to the front of the cave and there would set down on this tree. And of course, there was the tree just exactly like he said. And then another thing he said, he said, And Billy Paul from the place that he fished, though it's quit a ways from the cave, he said, I could hear him if any thing went wrong in the event that he called. And of course, this particular place, the way it's made as to the cove of the creek, or the river, it's exactly that way. He can here him. He could have heard him had he called. And then another thing he said was that this place was so covered up that you could not see it, as with the brush. Which was true. It was so covered up he said that he could just pull a bush right in behind him into the cave, which was exactly the way it was. And another thing was, you couldn't see it because from this side, as to look, it was an indenture, so many indentures where the rock was blocked out, but the cave coming in from the side of the mountain, or the little ole cliff like, there was no way to see it from the top. You'd look over it from down here, you'd look straight at it and couldn't see it. From the other side you couldn't get to it and if you could you still couldn't see it, and if you saw it this way you had to go up the side, like a little animal, climb to a little ledge and then walk over and see the entrance of it. And yet there was easy access to it. So the brush was there. And then another thing was, he said that in this cave I could stand there and just reach right up and grab a man's leg that was standing right on top of it, which you could do from this cave that we found. And another thing he said, And inside of this cave, he said, there is a pyramid rock. It comes down in the shape of a pyramid rock on the inside of this little cave. And of course, the pictures showed very clearly the pyramid rock as it comes down inside the cave. So there's little doubt of anybody that could think reasonable as to whether that wasn't the cave or not. It fits it in every way. And they've found a number of caves. As a matter-of-fact, George and them just found another cave and he said, But it just don't fit the description. They couldn't find one that would fit the description. And he is very desirous to find this cave. He said, It's got to be authentic with this documented thing. Said, I've got to be sure of it. So, I just dropped that in as we were going this way in that he's called us a number of times. And as I said, he was wanting to come down here and be in service with us. He's been here one time before. I think maybe he came with Joseph Branham and I wasn't here. But we also had a night vision. I have related it to some of the brethren and some of them I haven't. But I think it was night before last we were praying and I saw some of our brethren standing together and I couldn't tell what happen. In the vision I could, but now I don't have any remembrance of it. It was taken from me. A lot of times the Lord will give me a vision that I really want to tell the brethren and it will be taken away from me. But anyway this was taken away from me, in that I don't know where we were at. I don't know what we were doing, but it appeared that some of them was falling down, and as they fell down, you know, they'd get back up. That's the best that I can remember. And then all of a sudden I fell. I didn't just fall down, like getting back up, you know. I didn't do that. I fell over a wall. It was like a rock wall, and I fell. I kept falling and falling and falling and I fell. I fell so far it seemed like there was no end to the fall. In the vision as I was falling I was trying to hold fast to my faith, and not waver, because I knew I was falling to my death, you know. And I held on to my faith so firmly until all of a sudden, not as though I hit the bottom, but as though an explosion or something happened, or like you would hit the bottom and bounce off of it. And all of a sudden I started back up. I went up and up and up and I went up to the extent that I, apparently excelled the place where I fell from and then I found my self all of a sudden, just laying in the bed. Laying there in the bed and I looked and my wife, of course was laying over here close to me. She was hard and fast asleep and she was struggling like in her sleep, as I hadn't noticed it, but when the Lord pointed it out to me she was struggling in her sleep like she was just about half dying. And I was just kind of awake, setting up or whatever it was, and I looked and I've never seen anything like this in my life. Never, out of all the visions I've ever had, and anything so much in the affirmative, and so colorful, so realistic. But I looked and as I was about like I am here, this direction, all of a sudden like as from here there came a hand. And this hand though the arm wasn't bent, it was straight out like this, and there came a hand and an arm and it came straight down out of heaven toward me. As I say straight, it was at a slant coming like this, but it was straight toward me. As it came toward me it was the most beautiful hand I have ever seen in all my life. It was a male hand. It was a mans hand, but it was a man of about reasonable weight, a slender hand. And you've seen women that have, they keep their hands so, you know, they don't like dish pan hands. But anyway, this hand was the most perfect hand. It looked like there wasn't a flaw from the nails, the fingers, the arm, it was perfect. And it had the most beautiful flesh tone to it. It had a rosy like tone to it just like your blood, you know, when you find somebody that's got lots of blood to spare, and they're just bulging out like a red apple in the cheeks, or somebody with high blood pressure. But anyway, this person, this arm or this hand, it was such a graceful, beautiful thing, and it came down and it came straight to where I was from heaven. And I reached out and touched it. And as I touched it, it drew back just like that. And when it drew back I said, Oh my! I wanted my wife to see that so much. And all of a sudden it appeared that it came to me about the great telescope that was let down from heaven that I might see through the clouds and see beyond and see those things beyond the veil that my wife didn't get to see when I called her. If you remember in the vision there was such a huge, gigantic thing. And when I called her just as quick as a flash it went away. And the Lord didn't let her look through it. But anyway, I thought, My lands! Now it's going to be the same way, but all of a sudden as it drew back it done like this, toward my wife, and it done like that. Real concerned. It looked like I could tell that whoever was behind the hand was real concerned about my wife. And then when I looked, of course, it looked like she was dying in her sleep. And I shook her, and when I shook her she snapped out of it. And when she snapped out of it she was so astounded that she just, you know, just lost her composure and just reached up and grabbed that hand just like a little child, a lost child had grabbed her mother's arm and she was just clinging to it like that. And of course, you know, I reached up and took the hand and with that the vision went away. But it was so astounding because it was in color and I remember the arm was covered with kind of a, almost a transparency as to a light purplish pink garment that was loose on it. You know, kind of like a robe, but it wasn't real loose and it wasn't real tight. I don't know what that means. I don't know. I know the Bible does say this. "To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" So I know that much as to Scripture, but I don't know just exactly what it meant. I don't know whether it had to do with the headship, in that the husband is the head of the home, and that it came to me first, and that when I reached for it it came to direct me, as to the members as to the body, that maybe, maybe my fall had to do with the death, burial and resurrection. I'm just saying maybe because I really don't know. I don't know what it meant. And maybe it had to do with that in that it went down through the crevice, as to these rocks and these deep indentures. And I know that there was a tomb for Jesus and I know sometimes a tomb was hewn out of a stone. And I don't know. I know that we are the body of the Lord Jesus, members in particular. It is not us living but Him. Paul said, The life I now live I live by the Son of God who gave His life for me. So, I don't know whether it meant that as I went down, down, down and come up, and I don't know whether it meant a good man falls seven times and gets back up, as to my people falling, if that's what it was. But they apparently were falling and getting back up, if that's what it was, and then excelling and coming up out of this crevice and then being there on a bed. I would think it would be like a death, burial and resurrection as one goeth asleep, he sleepeth and then he awaketh. Jesus said, Lazarus, I go to awaken him. And so I don't know whether that was it or not. And then my wife there being in the sleep, having to do that when Jesus rose from the dead they that were with him, or others also arose from the dead with him and I do know that the hand of the Lord, the arm of the Lord, indicates His strength, our power and strength. And that the five fingers does have to do with the five fold ministry as to pointing to the woman and then I do know the church is in a dying condition. She's in a hard sleep. You know, I saw a vision not so long ago where you people here were asleep. All of you were asleep. The Bible says of course, when they awoke they saw His glory. And my wife just about ready to die and I got her awake just in time that she, apparently, saw His glory, as to say that the church grasps the five fold ministry that's set there for the perfecting of the saints, or whatever it would be. God on the right hand of the Father, Jesus that is, and I could tell it was His right hand. And of course His right hand denotes power. But nevertheless, that's the way it was and she came out of the deep sleep and everything seemed to be fine and then the vision went away. As to whether that was the interpretation of the vision, or whatever, I don't know. I do know that numbers of times I've been at deaths door and we've wrestled with death and we've went down deep, deep, deep to where the lights was ready to be cut off, you know, but nevertheless we accepted the fact that if that was what He wanted then we would just go on. And sometimes we have been in circumstances where the misery and the pain was, the nearest thing I can compare it to is that it was a hideous, hideous nightmare and lot worse. But nevertheless, we endured it by faith in God and we tried not to complain. And we hardly ever shared anything with anything except my wife, and many things I wouldn't share with her, because Betty's a good rebuker, you know. And I just didn't tell her a whole lot of things, but nevertheless we've been down deep, deep, deep. And we've been lifted up, up, up many times. So whatever it would be the Lord knows. But I can say, as even today, I'm healthy and well and strong, and still going after the things of God, and still just as zealous as I was when I started. As a matter-of-fact, a whole lot more and feel fine and ready to fight the battle for God. The Bible said His grace is sufficient and He is our strength and He is our power and it was just a few days ago that we had the vision of Samson where the strength was so great and mighty to Samson as to his resurrection coming out of the dungeon, which I know has to do with the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, as to the type, and when he pulled down the pillows of the world and became the preeminent as to the tabernacle in which God in His fullness dwelt, and brought all of these three, the Mighty Father, Son, and Holy Ghost into one, as to Jesus, the living saints, and as to Moses, the resurrected saints, and as to Elijah the raptured saints. And he pulled it all into one as he stood in his glory on the great Mount of Transfiguration. And it made me to remember that He said, Father, give these the same glory that you gave unto me. He said, I have given them this glory. So all of these things, as Mary pondered them in her heart, then a lot of times we ponder these things in our heart because we do know that the bride of Christ is now ready. And we do know that the thing that hath made her ready is herself. Let's give the Lord a hand. The Bible said, And the bride hath made herself ready for they that are born of God they keep themselves and the evil one touches them not. Having perfect forever them that are sanctified, having sanctified them once and for all by the offering up of the body of the Lord Jesus at Calvary. People are, in this hour, as to the finishing of the mysteries, discovering that they are God's sons and daughters. They always have been, that they are justified. There never was anything against them and they are holy and godly and clean and pure, and that they are the perfect ones and that they are now, as Brother Taylor said, dwelling in heaven and that God has by his grace translated them into His marvelous kingdom, in that the law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom has been preached, and believe it or not, men, some men have pressed their way into it. Let's give the Lord a hand. Somebody said, Well, I'm waiting to be raptured. All right, so you're waiting to be raptured, that's fine. I've already been raptured. Let's give the Lord another hand. And in that you are waiting to be raptured the question arises as where are you going to be raptured too. And they said, Well, I'm going to be raptured into the kingdom of God. Well, I'm already in the kingdom of God. Let's give the Lord another hand. And somebody said, Well, what I'm going to do, Brother Pike, I'm going into heaven. Well, I'm already in heaven. The Bible said, Rejoice ye that dwell in heaven. So we'll give him another hand. All right. So the Lord is good to us, and many other things that we could say, but I'm on a journey to another country, the man said in the song, and what it is. It's not you moving, but it's you comprehending the heights, the depths, the width, and the length, as God through the mind of Christ and the sufferings of Christ makes a complete expose to your understanding, because as human beings you place so much value upon it. It's nothing but particles of dust that goes back to the dust and back to the worms. From the dust it came. From the dust thou art, Adam, and to the dust thou shalt return. To say that the creation of man is absolutely nothing except it go on to become the sons of God as to the change. So then, you are exactly nothing. The Bible said the flesh profiteth nothing, so then you know that you are nothing because you are flesh so you know who you are. And being sons of God and daughters of God, they are Gods. So, now you know who you are. And it is a true fact that they that came from the dust will go back to the dust, but Jesus said, You are bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh and I came from heaven. Nicodemus, I am in heaven. And He said, Rejoice ye, as to the members of His body, who are in heaven, that's always been in heaven, that could never be anywhere else. And all this others have been lying vanities, to windows of vanity that you have been looking through, and the man that God was interested in was not the bastard child image that had fell, which He destroyed at Calvary through the Lord Jesus, but the inner angelic son of God who hath kept himself, that's been perfect all the time. This spirit going back to God at death, or that is to say, reckon yourselves to be dead by the body of the Lord Jesus, as to the rent veil, as to the books open. When the book was open as to the rent veil, and of course then, you are they that your angelic being is equal to God, equal to the angels, cannot die. Having passed from the body of this death into that angelic world of life, then the Bible says you cannot die. You've pass from death unto life. Or that is, you put off the body of this death. So then, we find that you that are in the flesh, you that are ambitious to the flesh and you that are looking for careers and becoming dignitaries and celebrities and having scholarships and wanting ministries and to get your face on television, and get a book wrote about yourself, or have the preeminence to say something, that you are of the devil. And you are of your father the devil and his will you'll do because he savors the things that be of the flesh. But ye that love the Lord, that have put the flesh to death, that has denied the body, and the Bible says, mortify the deeds of the flesh, you that have suffered in the flesh, then the Bible said, You have ceased from sin because to suffer in the flesh is to die in the flesh and to be free from the body of death that you might no longer be reckoned as a living soul but rather the second man Adam, as a quickening spirit. Having moved from the world of death, in that the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die as to the feminine part, which is as to you, the flesh that is in this world, the old carnal mind of intellectual reasoning. So then, the beast and they that follow this, the old serpent on his belly laboring for his belly because his belly and mouth craves it of him as to his convenience and comforts of life, he is still crawling around on his belly. And he is still following after the old tree of knowledge, or hanging from the old tree of knowledge, or living in the old trees. Used to be when my grand daddy would cut them down the old snake would come out and they'd kill them. Well, any way, somebody was tell me they just found two maybe over at the park, a great big tree. Two great big huge snakes that they got out of there that they killed. And this year, they say it's an unusual thing, that is they've never know of it before, and that is that snakes are crossing up with one another. They've never known that, they said, before. I notice that snakes are plentiful. A few days ago there were some of them that was killed. We happened to be around when they killed them, maybe a couple there in one day, and one of them David Paul run over as we were coming back and it started wiggling around and we got out and David got out and grabbed him by the tail and slung him over and hit his head against the pavement and finished killing him. These things I say unto you because many things are happening. Like a little episode here at The Store, bringing you kind of around to a present day truth as to the revelation of the Lord Jesus, which as Brother Taylor said is the coming of the Lord. The suddenly appearing, as to that light that destroy him that dwelleth in the temple of God, whose temple ye are. And yet some people have let the devil dwell in them and the Bible said God will destroy that temple. With the brightness of His coming He will destroy the Satanic powers of the intellectual reasoning of the old tree of knowledge, that which is vainly puffed up by it's fleshly mind. He'll destroy that with the brightness of his coming. Well, anyway, right here at this present time as to a little present day truth. This thing that is happening as to the boycotting of the brotherhood against this foolishness over here at The Store, and of course the name Dan going back to the tribe of the serpent. And of course, being a school teacher, going back to the old tree of knowledge. And the brethren having feed from that and all of a sudden they are leaving that thing of borrowing money and feeding from it. When I say that that is the children of God will stand together with what ever the decisions of the brethren are and they suddenly boycotted as a unanimous thing against that, to overthrow it, to withdraw from it and not to have any part with that, as to the expulsion of Lucifer, and again to show those things degraded that's posted on the windows, being that old Satanic thing of the beast, and of the foolishness. The thoughts of foolishness being sin, withdrawing from that as to stand up at this time in the symbolic thing, and not only symbolic, but as the first root as the head of the move of God in the earth, standing up as Little Bethlehem since out of Little Bethlehem He's born. So then, the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, standing up at this particular time, which is even shown by the Little White House thing where we preached there as kind of a headship, or pastor, and later our boys being the only one chosen to go and do this, as to a natural glorification, in that we taught them perfection here, and nobody else bidding against them, and they alone getting this thing. This having to do with Washington, and with the government, and President Roosevelt. And that at this time is also being made a part of the state park as the Roosevelt Park. But, nevertheless, our boys going there and they're going to scrape it down and take off the paint and make it new all over again so that it will be a glorified thing. And of course, like I said, we having preached out there at the Little White House, perhaps as one or the only, from what I understand. Nevertheless, having to do, again, with Jimmy Carter, which means_ You know, they painted the beard on his face on the poster, J.C., Jesus Christ, and whatever. Jimmy Carter, my dad being named Carter, and the thing that we spoke of the other day, the connections. Many, many things that we never said to you (Begin tape one, side two.) this has to do with, and how that it was echoed by one of them down there at the White House when we were there, and it went through, I believe, Roosevelt's son, as to tell them in the White House that someone had beat Jimmy Carter to the Presidency, in that he was coming down there to have his talk. And said, A Georgia boy has beat him to it. And then of course, Brother Branham seeing that about the Georgia boy uncapping this cave or whatever it was where this thing was hid as to the knowledge of the Lord. Of course our boys was the one that found the cave and then capped it. Kirk, again going back to the church, as we say, and Jimmy said him and the brethren they literally took the rock off of the top of that thing and threw them down into the creek. He said there ain't no more cave. But whatever it was, Brother Branham having been placed in there, we brought out the revelation of that. It was the corner stone of that which he said was in the church, as to the corner stone there in Jeff. And when they went in they couldn't find anything in that the little can had deteriorated and we brought out the revelation of it of what it has to do with. A message having gone from the people and the little can having to do with the body, in that the old terms are used'can it' you know, when you are talking. They say'can it'. I used to work at a cannery. I know something of what they are saying. Nevertheless, it comes back to the fact that Brother Branham, or we say as Jesus, He wasn't there for He is risen. And go see the place where the Lord lay. It was a documentary thing in that George has moved into the house of Brother Branham out west, him and Becky, and also having taken over Brother Branham's office there in the place at Jeff. And all of a sudden now, as we said, that they would connect themselves with Little Bethlehem and it's been as to the response from Joseph, as to the response from Becky, as to the response from Billy Paul, as to the response from George Smith, and on and on and on, as at this time as to fasten themselves hard to this and wanting to come down here, why even Billy Paul. But the Lord brought it out just on time. Everything has worked together just on time, even the going up of the gates out here, the angels that Brother Paul made out there, and Brother Finley has on the gate there, the sounding of the trumpet, having the six pointed star, and we could go on and go on and go on as a great book, a great volume of books as to this wonderful revelation which, of course, is the coming of the Lord, for the Lord God of heaven is a spirit. And a spirit is a mind, it's an understanding. It's called the great light, the great wisdom, and the great understanding that suddenly comes into His body, and the only body that He has. We look for a body, but you are the only body that He has. Even as a man's wife is his body to produce his image, so are you His body, and the head of that body, the Church, Jesus Christ. Everything is coming together. Everything is coming together, but the life and mind of that body is the Christ. Whereas, the head is the Jesus and the Christ has already gone into you, even as a man,s spirit goes into his wife to convert his wife, to change her spirit and to strengthen her spirit to greatness that's the strength of the husband that she might become one altogether with the spirit which is in her husband. Well, we could say a whole lot in that he's the one that travails us to make the living, to feed her through the heat, through the ice, and he goes to calvary for her. she is the one, as to the bodily part that travails, as to the opening of the matrix, to bring forth the first born as to that which is the glory of God. That is to say, the glory of the husband, or the child being caught up into the husbands arms as to praise it after having been swaddled and whatever. So, on and on and on, as typical the revelation shows the natural types and the wonderful brilliancy and of God and the wonderful mind of Almighty God, which has been before the world ever was this great spirit which hath no form except in Jesus Christ and within you, for the heaven is his Throne and the earth is His footstool. And they filleth all in all. He is without end, but you can comprehend the heights,the widths, the lengths, and the depths as to this God within you according to the measure that ye desire to apply yourself too. Whereas, Jesus applied Himself to the full measure. So, He fully comprehended the entirety of God. And as to the finishing of the mysteries, now He is sharing it with you and I, as to the loosening of the seals. And many things we could say about the seals and about the past, about the Old Testament and whatever, that you and I might be thoroughly furnished, in that He was standing right in the midst of the candlesticks. When you say the midst of it that's the completeness of it, the completeness. My! We could go on and on and on. But these things that I said to you, and so many, many things I'd like to say, and I say, and I'd like to say and yet it's not I that say it for the Spirit of God speaketh from within me, and the judgment beginning at the house of God, or God teaching you, or God speaking to your spirit. That is, the spirit to your spirit, and you are divinely comprehending as you are raptured. Because the rapture is as of your inner man, as to the spirit, the angelic one who flies away. As Lazarus when the body went into the grave Lazarus flew away to glory, to Abraham's bosom. And you being dead to the body of the Lord Jesus you've flown away to glory, and you are in the bosom of Christ Jesus. We could say a lot about that. But, anyway, as to the revelation, as to the mysteries, as so then you find yourself right in His lovely arms. So then, the rapture to you is a revelation as to the inner man, because it's the Christ, which is the spiritual one. That is, the spiritual, the last man a quickening spirit that he might bring to Him the spirits of human beings, for the Bible said He is the Father of all spirits. And then it comes to the Jew where a natural Jesus shall return with this Christ on the inside of him after that this Christ has finished His work in the church as to the spirit of man. And sealed them in and took them into heaven, then He'll return, this Christ, in the body of the Lord Jesus to show the change of the body, the redemption of the body, the resurrection as to the coming of the Jews since they are natural, and a natural inheritance, then the natural Jesus will come to them as of the natural Jew family. In coming to them, of course, if the casting away of the Jews be the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving of the Jews be but life from the dead. Or that is to say, the casting away of the Jews has to do with your death, that is the body of the Lord Jesus. When Jesus died, as the head, then the members died. When the Christ went into heaven, then the members went into heaven. And when this spirit comes back to them as you going to the Jews, even as this land that we tried to purchase and the thing about the Christians, and the different things of giving out of so much literature over in Israel and then prophesying down the streets of Delarosa that the time is at hand. And the many things that God has brought about and of the breaking down of the walls of Germany, and we said the walls would come down as the wailing walls of Jerusalem and the old and new Jerusalem would be the same. Spirit and body will come together. It will come to pass. So in this we are made aware of the fact that the end of the world is here. The days of the Gentiles are finished. And we could go on and go on and go on, even as to Mr. Bush putting an end to this sinful the thing, as to the flesh as to bring in a perfect law. And his administration, according to the calendar, of course we brought it out, runs right into the tribulation period and we spoke of that last seven years, being joined again to the four hundred and eighty-three that it might come to pass that that will bring back the natural episode back into view as the Christ body comes down into the earth to rule and reign over the Jews as the Jews rule and reign over the nation as Jesus rules and reigns over the church for a thousand years. And then after that the Celestial, as to the breaking forth of the spirit within your body changes you to the catching up of the Thessalonian change before the tribulation, before the millennium. So then will it break forth to the Jews, having been sealed during the tribulation period and then their bodies will break forth and they will enter into the Celestial. Then it will reverse and you'll find the Celestial even as God, the great Spirit, the Ancient One whose hair is as white as the wool, ruling through out eternity. Well, I said all of that to say this, that it is strange that I would pick to read from the book of Daniel. And I want to read just a little bit from the book of Daniel, because what this has to do with right here is the end of the world. "While Daniel was fasting, and while Daniel was confessing his sins." In the ninth chapter of the book of Daniel, relating to the book of Revelation, because Daniel saw the same vision that John did, and it was said to Daniel seal up the book, and it was said to John open the book; like the song we wrote: Don't Seal It Up. So then, the veil at Calvary was rent in twain and after that the book was no longer sealed, and the book was opened and the books were open, and John saw what Daniel could not see, because he was looking through the glass darkly as to the veil of Moses on to Calvary, seeing the hinder part. All right, in the 20th verse of the 9th chapter it reads like this: "And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter and consider the vision." When the angle here says, "And the commandment came forth," the commandment came forth from God to tell him to answer Daniel's supplication. "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city," and when he said thy people, thy holy city, it means upon the Jews and upon Jerusalem. That is Daniel's people. "to finish the transgression," but remember that everything that happens in the natural has a spiritual application to the spiritual church, to the spiritual Jew. "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins," Now transgression- Of course, we could take our time and explain all of this, which we won't do today, but transgression means transgression of the law. For transgression of the law is sin, and where there is no law there is no transgression. We bring that out to you in the teachings, but transgression is the transgression of the law. And of course, Eve, the weakness of the flesh, has always transgressed God's law. So to make an end of the transgression, he says here, which heads up in the Antichrist, the great thing as to the Antichrist is transgression. "And to make an end of sin." Seventy weeks. Now I'm not going to try to explain a lot of this, because I'm going to close now in just a minute of two here, just a few minutes, but now remember the angel said seventy weeks, four hundred and ninety years determined upon thy people. Four hundred and eighty-three of it came to pass, and of course, we bring this out in our teachings somewhere, and Messiah came. Because this is what he says. Now Gabriel came. He's a messenger. He touched him at the evening time about the time of the evening oblation, which goes back again to the offering up of the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb without spot or blemish offering in the evening time of life. Okay, now. And of course, those things are happening in the tribulation period to the Jews. Now here it said, "At the beginning of the supplication the commandment came forth, I am come to show thee for thou art greatly beloved. Therefore understand the matter and consider the vision. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin." This is why we say that sin ended at Calvary. "And to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness." Whereas, the Bible tells us that even you and I should preach as to telling people to be reconciled unto God. "To make reconciliation for iniquity and bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision, and prophecy," That is the vision of the angel here, and the prophecy that's coming forth. "And to anoint the Most Holy." Because, remember the law and the prophets were until John. All the prophecy and at that time it was completely sealed up. We said the book received seven seals on the back side of it when Jesus said. It is finished. "And to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy." That is to prove that Jesus was the Messiah, King forever. From Calvary on He was King forever. And of course, it is made manifest here where they will set Him on the Throne and go through this thing naturally. "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem, unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times." Now remember this. He says, "Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah. Okay, now I brought this out to you, the going forth of the commandment, remember how we brought this out way back there in the B.C.'s and the days of Daniel. We gave you the dates on it, and told you when it started in the days of King Artaxerxes when Nehemiah was fasting, and was sad, being the Kings cup bearer, and the King ask what was wrong; then gave him permission to get wood from the Kings forest to rebuild, from the cedars of Lebanon, and whatever, in that he said he was sad because that the gates were all torn down, and the walls of the fathers houses were all torn down. And you remember the battle. Sanballat, the half-breed, battling with him, and they had to more or less use a trowel in one hand, or a sword in one hand and eat with the other hand. But in that day, if you remember, Sanballat rose up because Nehemiah would not allow him and the half-breeds to come into the city, because their names were not on the roll as the original Jews. It was a mixture down there and God said, The luke warm I'll spew out of my mouth. All these things very symbolic if we had time to go into them, but nevertheless, he said that he built the walls back. And the Bible said they would be built in troublous times, which means the battling with Sanballat to them. But nevertheless, this is also to come to pass in the last days as to the seven weeks. But notice how he divides this up. So the commandment came forth, and the commandment of course was, the commandment coming from King Artaxerxes saying, Go and build. And he said, "from this time to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah," which was the coming of the Lord Jesus. And at that time there was five hundred years of silence. There was no prophets and whatever, and from that time on until the coming of the Lord Jesus. It were built back, about five hundred years according to Bible scholars and history. And the angle said four hundred and ninety years determined upon the people, so it was real close. Everything fell right in line. So it says here that he was to build the walls back, and he said it shall be seven weeks. First he takes seven weeks, he divides that from the seventy weeks. And then say, seven times seven is forty-nine. So We know then that there is forty-nine years in there. And then he takes the three score weeks, which we know is sixty, and then he takes the two weeks. And again when you've got two weeks, remember each day as to what a day is as what it was given. He separates the two weeks. All right, now, when you figure it up it said, And after three score and two weeks. Now he puts the sixty together with the two weeks. And when he puts the sixty together with the two weeks; then it brings us to the four hundred and eighty-three years. See? Because that includes all of it, even the beginning as to the seven weeks, as to this statement. See? But he tells that the first seven weeks is to the restoring. This is where they are building the walls back. And then after that he speaks again as going on over to Calvary, adds the three score to the seven, and the two weeks he speaks of he adds the two weeks and makes, as he said here; "And after three score and two weeks," which is sixty two weeks, "shall Messiah be cut off." Now that's Calvary. That's the crucifixion. "But not for Himself." It won't be for Himself that He'll be cut off. There's a girl to my left, right here. You need to pray a little bit. Mediate a little bit while we're talking here. You're kind of getting out of bound with the flesh and the spirit. And you've been out of bound now for quite a long time. Just a young girl, but you need to do that for the sake of your soul and stop that spirit from troubling me. I don't want that thing in here. That's like a cat dragging in an old dead rat. So, I'm not interested. So, if you will get that silly notion out of your mind and let me go on with what I'm saying here. So, said, "Not for Himself." This is real. That's just to let you know it's real since you are toying around and feeling around to see if it's real. And that is the devil has got a hold of you. "But not for Himself." Remember, the carnal mind is enmity with God. "Not for Himself." Said " He'll be cut off, not for Himself." See? I say these things for your good, folks. Now, like a woman over to my right, it's the same way just about every time she comes to church, but I'm not interested. Like I said, This is real. This is God, and the thoughts you have as to try to prove me, it's a devil, and it's going to doom your soul and you'd better do something about it. All right. Let's say this again now. He says, "And after three score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for Himself." Now He died, but He died for you and the people are the Prince that shall come. I've told you this before that Titus came in. Remember? How Titus came in there shortly after the death of the Lord Jesus, brought out the dates and everything? This young Roman General and how he literally plowed the city life a field, and that when all the massacre was so great, said, I didn't do this. God must have had a hand in this. And when the temple was burned up, he didn't intend to burn the temple, but we brought it out how that the temple was burned up, and how God allowed that to destroy all the records to where there would be no record of any other king all the way up, and that the only record would be when Jesus went with His mother up to Jerusalem and there going up with Joseph to be taxed at the time that Jesus was born that there might be a record of Him that he was the son, as to the lineage, and was the son of Joseph to bring it down that He's the only king. He's the only one that heir to the Throne, as to kingship, and when they go to anoint the Most High and set Him on the Throne they will have to, by the law, by the law of today, like if Roosevelt rose up right now by the law he would still be President. I don't care who they've elected in, and that's what that Little White House has to do with. We were talking the other day about our boys being perfect, as to bring the body of perfectness when they scrape off the paint that they can't even scar the building. Now, see, and here He is to be anointed Messiah for He is the only one that they'll have the records as to kingship, that He will legally take the Throne over the natural world, as to the kingdoms of this world becoming the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ. And the natural Jews will come in as the head of the nation and they will judge the nations, which is right at hand. That's why I'm reading to you from Daniel. This was many years before the birth of Jesus. And the prophecy was just perfectly sealed up. "And after three score and two weeks shall the Messiah be cut off, but not for Himself." I wish we had a week to teach on this. "But not for Himself: And the people of the prince that shall come," Titus. "shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood," Flood has to do with people and that is a count of many people. When the enemy comes in like a flood God will lift up a standard against him. "With a flood, and unto the end of war desolations are determined." That is to say deaths or lives, and the loss of people. When people go away that's a desolation. There is no more them there. "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the time of the consummation, and determined shall be poured upon the desolate." We don't have time to elaborate on this. Somewhere we said some things about this, but he said he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week. Now, Messiah is cut off. Why will he confirm the covenant for one week? Where does he get one week of a confirmation anyway? Because there are four hundred and eighty-three years to the Messiah, as to the cutting off as to Calvary, and then there isn't but one week left. This is a prophetic week, which means seven years of Daniel. They call it Daniel's last week. And this last week, he's going to confirm the covenant for one week. That's why I tell you that Antichrist is going to have power from the beginning of the seven years to the end of the seven years. And we say this that you might thoroughly be furnished with the understanding of God that just every wind of doctrine don't lead you about. So, it is a covenant for one week, and it isn't that he's making a covenant for one week. He's making a covenant that he might control everything from now on. But God, knowing that the world isn't going to stand but for one week, until the millennium comes in, then that means that will be the end of that covenant. So, it's just for one week. It couldn't be any longer. So the angel said, Daniel, it'll just be for one week. Now, he'll confirm the covenant for many for one week. Now the confirming of this covenant, which relates back, typically, to Titus, and yet jumps way over here to the tribulation now, see, in that all of it has to do with Calvary and the revelation right there at Calvary and the coming in of this thing as to what the Romans had to do with in their crucifying Jesus. We just don't have time to explain it this morning. "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week." Now what is the confirmation? Is he going to, you know, just make up something that's going to be nice for them? I brought this out to you. We've got a tape where I brought this out. This is so broad. It has to do with the boycotting of the armies, having to go with Gorbachev. He was stepping out here among the people a few days ago, and with Bush, and those ships that were in the Mediterranean, where John saw the heads come up, and how that it has to do with the common market, ninety, ninety-two, Bush's administration and all these things we've brought out to you. And the confirmation here also is that he will confirm it. We say this thing is confirmed. And the Bible said God confirmed His statements, as to eternal life and us being children and sons of God. Confirmed it by His Own Word in that He could swear by no greater He swear by Himself, saying, Blessing, I will bless thee. And in as much as God cannot lie we can rest with full assurance. So a confirmation, see, as to the blood. A confirmation as in the hands of angels. A confirmation here has to do with the Mark Of The Beast, and receiving this the your head and hands and the different things in a way to go about to confirm this thing. So it will confirm it. And it will be for a week, and they that take this mark will never have any more rest day nor night. "And he will cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, for the overspreading of abomination." Now, of course, we've been into that, said a lot of this about the abomination, about the oblation, about what would happen and how this had to do with the boycotting of the armies, and how that the cities of Jerusalem would become desolate, which would be an abomination in the sight of God in that the armies of the Antichrist would go in and take over and he'd set himself up as God in that holy city, as it is said, and the oblation as to them offering worship to God. Doing away with that he'll make them worship him. The overspreading of abomination, of course, that is an abomination in His sight. And many things we could say concerning that. We have said many things concerning it. "And he shall make it desolate even until the consummation." The desolation here is that God's spirit will not be in the place anymore. Grace will have been lifted, everything will be taken away and it will be a horrible, hideous situation. Men will pray for death. And it says, And this will continue until the consummation. That is, there will be a little time of allowance, and then God, the Bible said, the looking forward too of the fiery indignation of God that shall utterly consume His adversaries God is the power of consummation. Like they used to say about T.B. People years ago used to call that consumption. They'd said, That's consumption. Or what they meant was it was consuming the lungs. See? So, God is a power of consumption. He is a power of consuming, or the power of consummation. And this thing will be allowed to go on until Christ comes in with His fury. In Revelation 19 the blood runs to the horses bridle, and He consumes everything. The Bible says, in him, even Satan, the spirit of the devil that sits in the temple of God, the body of the Lord Jesus. When we say the body of the Lord Jesus we say the body that the Lord created, not the body of the Lord Jesus, but set in the human body. See? Showing himself that he is God, He said, Whom I will consume with the brightness of My coming. That's why that I tell you that right now is the great time. Which right now this is the brightness of His coming. This is that light in which He dwells that no man other than him can dwell in, and that this is the revealed understanding, the brightness of His coming. And He is casting the devil out of the human body and doing away with the body of that death so that it is the brightness of His coming. I will destroy him, or consume him with the brightness of My coming. So even until the time of consummation, the Bible said, That power of iniquity that work I will allow it to work until, or he will allow it to work until, and that is until he comes and destroys him. And he says until the consummation and that. When he says that it means whatever it will be at that time to come. "Until the confirmation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. That is; His wrath poured out upon the people. And of course, we could go on and go on and go on, but just saying these things as a reminder, and of course they go on tape. As hurriedly as I say then, and as simple as I say them, even as Jesus when He set down in the boat and talked with the people I say these for your benefit and that they might be a help to you. (Begin tape two, side one.) that when you go out for a full stomach today that you might not be the old serpent on his belly as to live in your mind and to love the things of this world and to have your mind on eating and drinking and buying and selling and appetite. But that you may have the mind of God to give glory and honor and praise to God as every bit goes into your mouth to know that he can subject you to suffering such pain and misery, which Jesus took for you if you'll follow after Him. But he can subject you to this thing until you will hate your life and beg, if need be, for somebody to blow your brains out. I heard of a man in such misery, I told you of it, where two box cars came together and caught him. He was a big man, caught him in here, pinched him together as it locked and he was begging for somebody to take like a scantling or a two by four and beat his brains out. Said, Please, beat my brains out. See, And I told you of another case, where some of you are familiar with this case where this man had a wreck. This truck driver was pinned inside of the truck and the truck was on fire and he was burning to death, and people run up to the window and he was begging them to kill him and even the policeman, they said, that was standing there, the patrolman, said I'll give you my gun if you'll blow his brains out, which they didn't do. But nevertheless, this is the things that you are going to be subjected to. I told you also how that in South America Betty and I stopped into a place. It was an open place for you to see. And we went in there and films, that where they had these lights showing through them. I've never see anything so horrible and hideous as what is happening in your day. Automobile wrecks where little children's heads are taken off and they are laying there, or their little legs, or they're split right down the middle, or they are basked into a mushy mess, or their brains scattered, or the mother with a little one in her arms with her head taken off, or the dad in the horrible condition, or others where they are pinched up in the wreck and the metal went through part of them like it was over here years ago when the man was going across the bridge. They hit a bridge and the man setting in the back seat this rail came off of the bridge and went through the front, all the way through the front seat, and went through the man, slap into him here and the man was still alive. And of course, he lived until they got him to the doctor. They got the thing out of him and as far as I know he is still living today. But the horrible, hideous things, in that day there won't be any thing to numb the pain. Won't be any healing medicines and the Bible said men will beg and pray for death. And their kingdoms will be filled with intellectual darkness, as to ignorance, not knowing anything, even how to concoct a thing that it might even bring a heal, as to a medicine. So then, healing is of God and not concoctions. Let's stand together. Let's just thank God for the mercy that he's given us as to the blood on the seat of atonement, and we'll find out shortly when the blood is off the seat of atonement whether these hospitals amount to anything or not, or if it's just a bunch of garbage. Right no it's something nice except for the evil, dirty, filthy practices. It's something nice as to the medicines and as to the other things as to the remedies that God has given, because right at this present moment people are getting some help in spite of the fact that they have to go through the hog pen to get it. But nevertheless, shortly after that, as it was just the day that Lot went out of Sodom and Gomorrah the Bible said fire and brimstone rained down upon the people. So you'll find out that the facilities and you find out that all these things are of the devil. The government is of the devil, and the colleges are of the devil, and ball games are of the devil and eating and drinking and all these things are of the devil. Even eating and drinking and buying and selling is of the devil. And your faces being powdered up and your hair being twisted and curled up and all these other things that you do are of the devil. And the only thing that God allows for, even in eating and drinking is to eat for strength and to enjoy that which he hath added unto you as a Christian. And all He allows you to have is that that is to seek the kingdom first and all these things other than that will be added unto you, that all the houses, all the land, everything is of the devil and everything is under the curse. And it is repulsive in the sight of God. It is so much of the devil that God is even going to destroy everything, even turn the earth into a burning heap of fire, into a lake of fire. Even the stars are going to shake out of the heavens, and there's going to be a great severing time, as to the reflectors as to the stars coming out, as to the physical realms, as to the reflectors as to religious hypocrites going out. And as to the earth the same way as to diseased trees that dying, as to brute beast being killed. And on and on and on this will go, as to the creeping things as of the ocean, God doing away with it. In that day there will be no ocean, no sea, because it's typical. But ye that love the Lord, ye that have equipped yourselves with a mind to suffer, ye that have mortified the flesh as to the deeds of the body, ye that are following the Lord whether so ever he goeth, you that hateth your life, we're coming into this wonderful, wonderful Goshen of God where we're separated and put in another world. All these other people that are around you that are believers they are believers. You don't have to deny that they are believers, but they are not Christians. They are not Christians. They are believers. What they are, they are wandering stars. They have to be believers to reflect. But being a believer it makes them a reflector. And they reflect so that they act like you do, like that beast in the garden, the nearest thing to a man. He looked like a man, he talked like a man, all these kind of things but God put him on his belly as a serpent. But you're going to find out just as quick as this episode of life is over, just that quick, that the hospitals are a rotten pit of corruption. The schools are a rotten pit of corruption. And that the military forces, all of these things is a mire for the hogs to wallow in. All that are intellectual, all that are looking for prestige, all that are looking for the powers of celebrities, they wallow in these things because it makes them look like something in the world and the world loveth it's own and they relate to it. See, but those that humble themselves under the mighty hand of God shall be exalted in due season. And they that exalteth themselves, the Bible said, shall be abased and every tree that my Heavenly Father hath not planted, or ever will plant, shall be rooted up, but ye are the plants of God. In that day the trees of God shall be so few that even a child shall be able to number them. So you'll find out there is no healing in doctors, that they are just a garbage can. No healing in medicine; it's just a concoction of something that's out here in the field. There'll be no relief and that there is no understanding in college. It's nothing but a hog wallow. And that there is no defense in the militant, or the military, because the Bible said, Unless God keepeth the city he that keepeth the city riseth but in vain, and that the battle is not to the strong, nor the race is not to the swift. So you're going to find out that all of it's just garbage and it's just an intellectual vanity as to those that are children of vanity that are in this world, but he that hath the mind of Christ he also hath the life of Christ, the peace of Christ, the body of Christ, the riches of Christ, the splendors, the magnificence of Christ, the eternal, everlasting regime in that everlasting world with Christ. All right, let's give the Lord a hand, can we? All right, let's sing a song together. Somebody said tell it like it is. Folks, that's like it is. That's like it is with the veil ripped off right there. Since the day of Calvary the manifold wisdom of God has been made known to the Church, now men are discovering, that is elect, that they are in glory. When they discover that they are in glory that means they are sealed in and the others are sealed out as having to do with these gates at Bethlehem. And when they completely come into this as to this message, the last message that will go into the world, then automatically the door to the Gentiles is thus closed, the Jews come in for that return, as to the last week, and they complete the four hundred and ninety years that the angel said was determined upon the people to make an end to bring in the millennium, see, and bring in everlasting righteousness, as to the millennium, or this is to you and I as to salvation. Not from one revival to another, but it's an everlasting thing. There is no sin to it. But anyway, to bring in this, see, and with this, as to the church comprehending the heights, depths, widths and length down through the church ages, that means that the church then has been raptured. It's all sealed in and hid away then. And everything then is of the devil and grace is lifted, the blood comes off of the seat of atonement. And at the time that that happens that the church is sealed in. Once they're sealed in with this message, this understanding, the inner man is then perfect. He discovers he's perfect. And then the body is nothing, the flesh is nothing. Intellectual knowledge is nothing but dung. And so then, at that moment that they discover this as to the inner man, as perfecting the church all of a sudden, that quick, see, they'll be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. The body will be changed because God will, just like some of these fellows that's setting at the switchboard, they watch for these missiles coming in. They can pull one little lever and missiles will be turned loose everywhere, not only over there to those people, but all over America, and they could kill everything with just one blow. See? And that switch is already set in that allegoric purpose. God has the watchman on the wall and at that moment when everything is just right, and the Lord says, Now! That's it. In the moment, in the twinkling of an eye. All right. Let's sing this little chorus together. But remember, folks, you belong to the Lord. You can have all things that pertain unto life, and you that are reflectors, you're going to hear what I'm saying, but your not going to understand for the Bible said the wicked will not understand. You're going to hear it. It's going to be beautiful. And then you are going to go straight out. And when you go straight out you'll be blank. It's gone. And to eat and drink and to laugh and to buy and to sell, to have and to own and to go, to revel, to visit, you'll be right back in your old hog wallow, in your old natural mind of feeling real good, like you've got all of this in your little bag, in your little satchel, we've got all them beautiful things. We've got everything. Honey, we've got everything. Let us eat and drink and be merry, and take our little satchel with us, cause we've got everything. When you're blind as a bat and you didn't get nothing, and when you get your little satchel you're going to find out there ain't nothing but death in it. But you that love the Lord, you might not have understood everything, but you are growing in the grace and knowledge and you picked up some things and it will be a warning to you to watch and pray and you'll look and pray and you'll be careful. You'll put that old face of yours down, and that old body of yours down and old mind of yours down, and that ambition of yours down, and then you'll walk with the Lord a little at a time, as to whatever you can, being humble and sweet and kind in the presence of the Lord, and being a brother to esteem others better than yourself to seek the welfare of another, to follow after the things of God, to let your conversation be in heaven and to be about the will of the Father. Do you love the Lord? Can we give Him just one more hand? Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus which is the mind of eternal destiny and life and riches. For as a man thinketh in his heart that's what he is. Can we sing a chorus, Brother Taylor? (Leads in singing Sweep Over My Soul and Someone To Care.) Can you sing that with me? (Continues singing.) While you're going out to lunch today be careful. Jesus said watch and pray. Watch and pray. Go and enjoy yourself in the Lord. The Bible said to eat, to drink, the greatest thing that man has, as to what God has given him, this is of his potion and his labor, of the vanity of all his days that under the sun. But while you do this, the Bible said, remember, for all of this you'll be brought into the judgment. Fear God and keep His commandments. This is the ultimatum as to the essence of it all. (Continues singing.) The altars are open. (Continues singing.) Let's sing this little chorus, Brother Taylor. (Sings Come A Little Closer) Can you sing it with me? (continues singing.) One more time. (Continues singing.) One more time now. (Continues singing.) Can we give him one more hand together? Just lift your hands up together and sing this little chorus, Frank. (Sings I Will Praise Him.) Can you sing that with me again? I'm going to ask Brother Clyde, Ron Clyde to come up if he will and dismiss us. (Continues singing.)
