God's Will

.. that's taking place right now with the earthquakes makes you real thankful that you are in the will of the Lord and doing what the Lord would have you to do. Revelation 15 and 8, "And smoke filled the temple of God and of His glory." Making reference to this tonight I thought we'd drop in a thought or two here if we could. When we speak of the temple, we've brought it out in time past a little different concerning these things. A little different from what we'd thought to say tonight. But, when we say temple we're reading from the book of Revelation, or we're taking this from the book of Revelation, and this when you say the revelation, then we go back a lot of times all the way back to the book and teachings of Moses, back into the Old Testament and these things that we speak of, though it's hard sometimes for you to conceive of this, these things are allegorically expressed in the Torah, which is the beginning of your Old Testament. Just a few books there that the Jews accept. And in the book of Revelation, these things having been given to Moses as a pattern of things that should be made in the earth, the Lord said, Moses, see that you make all things according to the pattern shown thee in the mount. And while Moses was up on the mountain, seeking the Lord up there for about eighty days, abstaining from food, staying right with God, God in all of His glory and magnificence came down on the mountain and the mountain burned with fire. And no one could get near the mountain. So much as if there was a little hair, or anything that touched it, just anything in the way of an animal, or whatever, it was thrust through with a dart. Nobody could come near that. Such an awesome sight. And now we find over here we're speaking of the temple and it's called the Temple of the Testimony. And when we speak of the temple it was found within the little tent. We brought this out and broke it down as to the outer courts, inner courts, innermost courts, or holy place and holy of holies. Or what they refer to as the most holy place. And when we say temple, that is the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony, it means the little ten by ten way back at the end of the tent. And when it says tabernacle, the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John says the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony. Then this tabernacle that it's referring to here is the tabernacle in the wilderness. And that was a pattern made of a heavenly thing. And here we see the very heavenly thing itself and it's still referred to as the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony. So then, the temple was the little ten by ten back in the end of tent, or what is called the tabernacle in the wilderness. And it is back in the end of it. And remember, this little tent was made out of skins. But being back in the end of it it was covered, as to the doorway, with covering cherubs of fine needle work that the women had made. And was very symbolic of the two covering cherubs, even as Moses and Elijah appeared on the mount of transfiguration with the Lord Jesus Christ. And, of course, appearing there in glory. Then when we hear this, as to the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony, then we know the temple is the little ten by ten back in the end of the tent. The tabernacle is thus the tent. And then when it says the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony then we wander what the testimony is because we understand the temple and we understand the tabernacle. But what is meant by the testimony? The testimony means that within the ark of the covenant that had the mercy seat on top of it with the covering cherubs, that inside of this ark there was the two stones that Moses got on this mountain when it burned with fire. And this was the testimony of God with his finger, as we say, written in stone. And this was the testimony. So it is called the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony. And inside of this ark there was also Aaron's rod that budded. And there was also the golden pot filled with manna of the golden pot that was likened to a coriander seed, or a little tiny thing like rice, that came down as the hoary frost of the morning, which was called the hidden manna that God gave them to eat in the wilderness. So, we understand then when the Bible said here that the temple was open, and then out of this temple came these things that we spoke of. We spoke of the angels, and some having power over fire. And now here it is some angels are standing before God. Seven angels, they are here before God in fine linen and they are ready to pour out the last seven vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. And right here we need to consider that this doesn't come into view until after the middle of the week when the covenant is broken. Again I say that you won't be there to see this. So then, it's recorded that we might understand that what will befall the earth and the Jewish people in the middle of the week after that the church has gone out. So, in the middle of the week, from the middle of the week, or the breaking of the covenant, when the great earthquake hits Jerusalem and the two prophets stand in the street and they are killed and they are left there in the street for several days as all the earth rejoices over them because they tormented them that dwell on the earth with their message. So then, we know that Antichrist comes on the scene. So from the middle of the week it means that from that time on until the end of the week that Antichrist will set up his kingdom. Satan is cast out. We brought it to you, Revelation 12. War in heaven. Michael and his angels fought and Lucifer and his angels fought. There was found no more place in heaven for Satan. The old devil, or the old dragon that was standing before the woman to devour the child and he is cast out into the earth and God said, Woe unto the inhabitants of the earth for his is among you. He will go about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour because he knoweth he hath but a short time. So then, we see him cast out. We see a personification of this thing because immediately following Revelation 12 and Revelation 13, all of a sudden the beast comes up out of the water having the ten horns and the seven heads, feet like unto a bear, and a body like unto a leopard and a mouth like unto a lion. We just kind of sporadically spoke of those things as to the constitution of the beast and what it would be, how it would be constituted. We brought this out. Perhaps you don't remember because we brought out quite a number of things with it and sometimes it's very difficult for you to remember so many things. But we did bring out the constitution of the beast and what he would be, what would constitute the beast, how he would come to be, as to what John saw coming up out of the waters. And this comes up in Revelation 13 immediately after war in heaven in Revelation 12 when Lucifer is cast out. And it is immediately following the casting out of Lucifer that Lucifer sets up his kingdom. The prophets are killed and he sets up his kingdom. And then when he sets up his kingdom immediately God, having sealed the Jews in calls for these seven angels with the seven last vials of the wrath of God to pour out His wrath upon the seat of the beast and the kingdom of the beast that he might cause them to gnaw their tongues with pain. And their whole kingdom will be filled with darkness. And this darkness means a darkness of no religious understanding, of no godly understanding. The glory of God cannot be there anymore. It means that the blood has come off of the seat of atonement when Lucifer is cast out and that no more blood life can go into the presence of God. Right now blood life can go into the presence of God. Blood life is in the presence of God. And every day you live within the presence of God. He is above you. He is in you. He is through you and in Him you have your being. You live and exist within the radius and confines of this wonderful thing called God. And you have the blessings of God because the blood is on the seat of atonement. But when this blood comes off there will not be any flesh and blood that can be in the presence of God anymore. Neither can Satan ever again enter into the presence of God. In the days of Job he entered into the presence of God just like he does today. Satan goes in and out into the presence of God. God will say, Where have you been? He'll say, From going to and fro in the earth. Because he's loose as he was in the days of Job. And he goes to and fro because of the grace of God and the blood on the seat of atonement because of the death of Jesus. And so that lets everybody have this grace. And so then, the rain comes down on the just, it comes down on the unjust. It comes down on the tare. It comes down on the wheat. So then, with this we're in the presence of God. But when the blood comes off of the seat of atonement there won't be anymore of the presence of God. Satan can never get into a human being to go into the presence of God again. And then all of those that are not born of God, everyone that doesn't know God will be cut off. And when they are cut off it means that the blood coming off of the seat of atonement the light will go out in the earth, as to the light of God. And everybody will be in gross darkness. Not darkness like you would think, as to like cutting the light out. But it would be gross darkness in that the only thing they will understand is their PH.Ds. and their diplomacies and all of this thing of an intellectual side of life. There won't be any godly understanding whatsoever in the earth anymore. They won't be able to reason and understand anything anymore, as from God. And it will just be as to the world of academics. And in that it will be darkness and Satan is the god and the tree of knowledge and the god of this world, he is the god of darkness and he will be here in this earth to confiscate and take control of those that belong to him. So then, this means that when this happens from the middle of the week on, God will then pour out His wrath upon Antichrist and all of his people because all of his people by that time will have received the mark of the beast, which is the number 666. And they will have received this and he will have complete control of his kingdom. And everybody that opposes this will be pursued unto death. Or the only means of escape is by the hand of God. Whereas the woman at that hour, that the Bible speaks of that gives birth to the child shall flee into the wilderness going over the Jordan into a wilderness where it is prepared for her as a place for times, time and a half a time. If you remember when they set up the cities of refuge they set some of them up on that side of the Jordan because there was some tribes that took their inheritance on that side of Jordan. Two and a half tribes. So then, when the woman flees into the wilderness to her place prepared for the time of her purifying, before she comes back to the king, then the three and a half years that's left then this will be the time that Antichrist will set up his kingdom having pursued the woman and the earth opening up and helping the woman, as if to swallow up the armies, or whatever God will cause to turn those armies away from the woman. Then all of a sudden at the same time, as I said, the child is caught up to the throne; comes into the ruling power. Now. When this happens in the middle of the week, already the church will have been gone for several years. And we will be caught up to the great marriage supper of the Lamb to ride over the tribulation period. And in riding over the tribulation period we will come back like the great arc of God after the wrath of God and then we'll set down in the new earth. Or not the new earth, but the restored earth, but the new earth, as to the Jews. Or as it would be comparing it with this earth. And the reason for that is because the curse will be lifted and there won't be any curse anymore. There won't be any sickness. There won't be any death. There won't be any poverty. There won't be any heartaches. Everybody will dwell in their own house. They will build their own houses. They'll still build houses. They'll still plant vineyards and they'll still plow their fields and they'll have vineyards to where the vineyards, the grapes will be so many, in great clusters, like as when they entered into the land of Canaan. And it will be such tremendous, giant like, bunches of grapes. And then they'll beat their swords and all of their weapons of war into plow shears and pruning hooks. Like you prune trees with, or like you plow the field. And they will take these things and use them for means of livelihood. And they'll still build their own houses. They'll build their own houses and nothing shall harm in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord. So, the devil being bound for a thousand years, everybody will be at great peace. In this time they'll build their own houses. And the Bible says that when they build their houses others won't inhabit these houses. Others won't take these houses. There won't be anybody around to close in on them because of a mortgage or something like this, but they shall long enjoy the works of their hands. God said, My people shall long enjoy the works of their hands. Think now. If you live about seventy to eighty years, and some times people make it to a hundred, or a little over. But if you live seventy — Let's say if you lived a hundred years, which would be a long life line down here. Now is you did that then that means that this will be ten life times, as comparatively speaking. As to an equality that's ten life times that you will have to live. And when I say you I'm speaking not of you but of those that go into the millennium that is not Celestial. You will be celestial three or three and a half years before the middle of the week and seven years before the millennium comes in. And that means that you will live eternally. You will live eternally without anymore change, or anymore interruptions of your life. And during the time of the millennium you, though you are Celestial, you will have access to the millennium. You will be able to live there with the Jews, coming and going. The Lord Jesus Christ will be Celestial. So will the twelve apostolic leaders be Celestial. And they'll set on thrones and they'll enjoy the millennium. And you, being Celestial, also will be able to come and go just like the angels come among us and go today. The only difference is they'll be able to see you because you have a body and you'll be able to do just like Jesus. When He resurrected from the dead He ate of the honey comb and you'll be able to eat and enjoy those things of the earth and still be Celestial. So then, when we see the beauty of what God is doing in the millennium it makes us feel real stirred to be partakers of a world where there is liberty and justice for all. And the place to where there'll be fruit trees. All the beautiful things that have been lost by the foolishness of man and his scientific prog, it will all be restored. There won't be as much as one speck on an apple. Not one flee on an animal. There won't be one parasite, not one sickness, not one sorrow, not one heartache. They'll all be gone. And during that great paradise of God the lion will eat straw with the bullock and the little child shall play on the cockatrice den. Nothing won't harm them and everybody will be at peace. And all the world, the Bible said, shall be at peace. So when we see this we see it's a beautiful thing that's coming. And the difference between this world and that world is that the curse will be lifted. This is something that we need to consider, as I was saying to some brethren today. We need to consider the fact that though during the millennium the curse will be lifted and we'll be partakers; yet for us the curse is already lifted. The curse is already gone. The curse lifted at Calvary. The Bible said, Cursed is everyone that hangeth upon a tree. And the curse was, in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And it brought the curse, as to the twenty-eighth chapter of Deuteronomy, that everyone that continueth not in the law to do all that is in the law to every jot and tittle shall be cursed. And then when Jesus came He fulfilled the law for us, every jot and tittle, folded it up and laid it out of the way. And from that time on we're not under the curse anymore. There is no more curse for us. There is no more curse of sickness. There is no more curse of dying. There is no more curse of poverty. There is no more curse of any kind of disease, or discomfort that belongs to you and I. Though we encounter these things because we've not changed the body, as of yet. But having been translated in our spirit into the kingdom of God we have escaped all these curses and can escape them in the body by drawing nigh to God, resisting the devil; He'll flee from us. Or that is, getting our faith in place to where it will serve as a shield to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And in so doing that means that we are completely free from any of the things the devil could cause as problems. So, we're already free from that. Already passed from death unto life. Shall never come into condemnation and no one can lay anything to the charge of God's elect. And we are God's elect according to foreknowledge of what He foreknew of us for the Bible said them that He did foreknow He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son. And we are God's workmanship in Christ, a complete, a complete workmanship for the Bible said we are complete in Christ Jesus. We are complete and whatever He is so are we in Christ Jesus. And whatever God wanted us to be He made Christ Jesus to be that and then He exchanged places with us and He died at Calvary in sin that we might live eternally as the God of righteousness, or the bodily members of that bone and flesh. So then, we've clear escaped all of those things and we're the apple of God's eye and He won't lay anything to our charge. And nobody can condemn us. And there is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. That is, I'm born of the spirit. I walk in the spirit, therefore there is no condemnation to me because no one can lay anything to my charge. And the only condemnation that I'll ever run into is if I waver from walking after Christ and believing the Word of God. Then I'll run into a condemnation. Not that God will charge the condemnation against me if I happen to stray when I'm trying to do my best, because He will not. And then God tells me that happy is he that does not condemn himself over that thing which he allows. See? Don't condemn yourself over the fact that you stumble or err because God has not given you the spirit of error and Satan has caused that. So don't condemn yourself and tear down your shield of faith. God wants you to keep your faith up, to quench the fiery darts of the wicked. And when you stumble say, My God! I'm sorry. Because if you're a real child of God you're not going to be trying to stumble. And you're not going to be trying to do anything that would cause you to stumble. You're not going to be going to the wrong place. It's just that you're going to err and do that out of being tripped up because somebody caused you a problem or something that you didn't intend. So don't condemn yourself over it. God didn't charge it against you. Just praise the Lord, ask Him to forgive you. Be so sorrowful in your heart of that thing. Take a good shower under God's waters of life, stay clean in His sight, be pure and be holy and go right on and be holy in body and in spirit. See? Because there is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. Now, we walk after the spirit not after the flesh. We are not even in the flesh. We're chosen out of the flesh. Therefore if we're not in the flesh it's for sure that there's no condemnation to it. Because on the inside translated into the kingdom of God, as into His spirit we are justified, sanctified, glorified, sealed with the Holy Spirit in our spirit until the day of the change, as to the redemption of the body and no one can lay anything to our charge because there is no condemnation to us. Talking about a church now without spot, wrinkle or blemish. I'm sent here as a minister and God has set the ministry in the body for the perfecting of the saints. And that is the perfecting of your faith for He hath perfected you in works but I am here to perfect your faith. And perfecting your faith means I must tell you you're benefits. I must tell you your rights as if your father had died, left you an inheritance and I was the officer here, or the administrator, or I am the one here as your attorney to let you know the will of your heavenly father. Jesus was your Heavenly Father. He came in your Heavenly Father's name. He died at Calvary. He willed to you all that pertains unto life. He willed to you and left it in His will for you. Now, if in this world before judges and before lawyers, if things are effective as to the will, how much more God's will to us. Whereas the Bible said, God finding fault with the old He done away with that and brought the New Testament which was in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, bringing the New Testament in. And a testament, of course, is of none effect lest the testator be dead. Or that is, the testament being the will. Being the new will of God, the new testament, then this new will, or testament that Christ gave, for it to be effective He had to die. For if your father wills you something then for that testament to be of effect then he has to die. So then, God has willed it to us. Not only has He willed it to us but He has sent great men, like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and these other great men, to give us the writings of this to where we will know the perfect will of God and the desire of God and the things that pertain unto us, which pertains unto life, as to His foreknowledge, give to us through Christ Jesus. So then, these things were given to us through Christ before the world ever was, or in Christ, and brought to light at Calvary through the rent veil, as to the expose. And then we — Or was taught to us down through the church ages and then we comprehend them as to the height, the depth, the width and the length of all of these wonderful benefits that pertain to life. Jesus said, I am the prince of life and I've come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundant, which means filled up and over flowing. So His new testament willed to us as the abundance of life. Now. When we understand this, and when we see this, it makes our heart to rejoice. How beautiful are the feet of them that bring us glad tidings of great joy of this wonderful will from our Heavenly Father. It makes our heart to rejoice. So we are required exactly nothing to obtain this wonderful benefit. Exactly nothing. This is where we get misconstrued because we get the idea somehow or another that we are suppose to work our way unto salvation, or we have to go through certain things, or as to penance, as some people teach. They crawl on their knees, they afflict their body, all kings of things, pain in their body, all these things. See? and others, they have ritualistics of counting beads and these kind of things and it absolutely hath nothing to do with salvation. The Bible said that these things are given to us as freedom from sin by the remission through blood. His blood. And through the long suffering of our Heavenly Father God. By His forebearance, through the sacrifice of His Son, hath He given us all things. And for sinners was He afflicted. And for sinners He went to Calvary. And so then, we know that we don't have anything to do with it. It is given to us through the faith of Him that held His faith. During His lifetime He held His faith perfect without wavering. And therefore, He wrought before God the Perfect works that brought the perfect faith, which faith is given unto you for a gift. Therefore, we contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints. And God saying to Paul, Turn My people from darkness to light, intellectual reasoning, over to the understanding of God and turn them unto this faith, which is THE FAITH, which is within Me. The faith by which they are sanctified once and for all. (Begin tape one, side two.)..And so then, God hath perfected forever, or made perfect forever them that are sanctified having sanctified them once and for all through the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Justified, sanctified and also glorified. So, in the mind of God we are a finished product and God sees us as a finished product all changed and glorified and outshining the brightness of the noonday and shining as the stars forever and ever. Now. We are completes in His mind, as to His foreknowledge. And we are right now within the span of His mind, as to all of His works having been known unto Him from the beginning. He saw from the beginning until the end and here we are about middle ways of this thing and we're caught within the radius and confines of this mind and we're still fulfilling His desire, as to whether or not we were fore-ordained unto condemnation according to what He foreknew of us, or saw of us, or whether or not we are ordained to eternal life. The Bible said Paul preached, and as many as we fore-ordained unto eternal life they believed and the rest did not believe. Because God has, by foreknowledge, looked down through the telescope of time and seen you and I. He has seen every step that we'll ever take. Every breath that we'll ever breath, every day that we ever lived, every thing that we'll ever do during our lifetime. He saw it before we were ever born and chose us in Christ according to seeing these things, by seeing the minister come to us and tell us these things and seeing us repent of our sins, turning away from our sins, forsaking our sins and coming to Christ and following Him with all of our heart, knowing that we would love Him with all of ur mind, all of strength, all of our heart. To love our neighbor as ourself, to try to please the Lord Jesus Christ. God foresaw that we would have this kind of attitude. And knowing that we were no match for the devil, even Lucifer, or demons, fallen angels, in that man is made a little lower than the angels. So, God, knowing that He just predestinated us, wrote our names down and then at Calvary sent His spirit so that we could have our spirit in our heart that we might resist the devil and the devil would be no match for our faith. So then, we are sealed in. No matter how much the hail beats on the little house outside, or the wind blows, we are founded, not on the shifting sands of theology, but we are founded on the Rock, and when the winds blow us, or the ill winds of the old doctrines, we will never be moved. So, we are sealed. We are justified. The devil can never touch us. He can never spot us. He can never lay anything to our charge. He cannot even get near our dwelling for our spiritual man on the inside is already translated into the spirit of Christ, caught away as at the right hand of the Father, in the body of Jesus that resurrected from the dead. And because your spirit went away at death, as to the rent veil, your body went back to death and was buried in a watery grave and your spirit went back to God who gave it at death. And today your spirit, as to your spiritual being is in Christ's spirit, which is in the body of Christ. And Paul said, When He, our life, appears, then we know that we shall be life Him for we shall see His as He is. As to this body, sin, the motions of sin, can never work in it anymore. Because we are now resurrected from the dead in the foreknowledge of God. In the mind of God He sees us crucified with Christ, buried with Christ, resurrected with Christ and yonder at the right hand of the Father joined as members to that head, or to that body, and we can never sin again. We can never be under condemnation again. We can never be lost. It's impossible for us to die. We cannot die. We cannot sin. So then, we are perfect in the sight of God. We are without spot. We are without wrinkle. We are without blemish. Now. God having done all of these wonderful things for us then we know for sure that we are secure in Christ Jesus. This is what the ministry is for; is to perfect your faith by revealing this will, or this testament, to you and in detail telling you these things so that you can comprehend the heights, depths, width and length of these things and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe these things that I'm telling you. And the more that you believe these things by letting this mind of Christ, this testament, be in you, the more your body surrenders and conforms to that testament, or that mind of Christ Jesus and thus becomes the body of Almighty God, as to the bone and flesh of the Lord Jesus Christ and becomes that which is without spot, without wrinkle, and without blemish, as to the redemption of the body, or changing the body, in that the body is already the purchased possession by Calvary, or what Jesus did at Calvary, to purchase that body and wrap it up in that blood. So the blood dipped vesture is yonder at the right hand of the Father as your body, and will come back in Revelation 19 when the saints follow, as to the head of the memberships, and come back as the blood dipped vesture, on His thy the word of God and come back with a sharp two-edged sword that will come forth out of his mouth and slay until the blood runs up to the horses bridle. And when you say out of his mouth we're speaking of the Word of God here. Whereas, it said the minister bears not the sword in vain. He has the word for your future whether it be good or bad. Now, when we think of all of this then this is what the minister is for. There's nothing that you have to do accept believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and all that He did in your behalf, and that settles it. And by that faith He sanctifies your heart and through that means Christ, His spirit, comes into your heart into your spirit, translates your spirit into His spirit and takes up His abode within you. And thus the interior part of you in here with Christ becomes the kingdom of God. And the kingdom of the world is thus taken out. And never again can the world inter into you. But if the love of the world is in you the love of the Father is not there. You've never made that change and you've never been born again. And when you are born again the spirit of Lucifer will go out. The love of the world will go out. The kingdom of God will come in and then you will find yourself with the nature of Christ hungering and thirsting after the things of God. Your whole appetite will change then you set in to make this life manifest in your mortal genes, that bringing it to your mortal genes it will cause your body to be changed and be glorified. You don't do anything; you just believe with the heart unto righteousness because righteousness is Calvary and what was wrought in Calvary. And when you believe unto Calvary and the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ then you make a confession with your lips that comes from your heart. Because the Bible said what a man speaketh cometh from his heart. And when he speaks he makes a confession from his heart of this wonderful thing that God hath wrought in Christ. And when he does that's faith and in comes the great Holy Spirit into him and seals his spirit and he is thus eternal and can never be lost. Then after that you do have a job. Not to get salvation, not to be born again, not to pass from death unto life; all of this is taken care of. But to make manifest in your mortal genes. You do have a job as to get the benefits of this in this life by perfecting your faith, keeping a clear conscience, doing the things that please God, trying to go on to perfection, or perfect this life within your bodily genes and mortify the deeds of the flesh. And this you will do if you are born again and have the nature of Jesus. And if you fail to do this, to go after a charismatic order of life, it's a positive proof that you missed the boat, as we say, and you didn't get it. Because the nature of Christ in you is the same yesterday, today and forever and it will be about the Father's business. It will cancel out on everything in the world just to obtain this pearl of great price. And so you have this job, as submitting day by day and becoming one, as to where you get to where every thought is cast down that does not react according to godliness, casting down every thought and imagination and every thing, every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Jesus Christ. This is what we mean by going on to perfection. So we go on to perfection by perfecting that which God has wrought for us. Under the law, as the tutors, until the time of the faith. Then when THE FAITH came, of Jesus Christ at Calvary, we do not need the law anymore. It is folded up, it's laid away. And now in laying it away, there is a resurrection, as to the faith of the new man and thus we are a new creature and we are in a new world in the sight of God, as to seeing us at the finish line and seeing us as a finished product. So, it does not count this as the valley and the shadows of death that fall over this valley. So He just looks from mountain top to mountain top at us. All right. So then, we are the temple. We are the temple; the temple of the testimony. Now we're bringing this to another place, as to like second power. The first power is back there where you look at it under the tent. Then you come to a physical world, which is the second power. And then you go, interiorly, into the third world, which is the third power, which is the angelic spirit of Christ. And that is the true tabernacle that the Bible speaks of that God pitched and not man. And finding fault with that that was just a figure for the time He done away with that, as to the shadow, and has brought us through this veil of the human flesh to do away with this body through the rending of the veil to take us into that wonderful tabernacle which is the temple. Not a tabernacle in an intellectual wilderness, but the temple which is Christ's spirit within the mind of God Almighty. So then, we see that as we go through this transitional change then we know, over here in the book of Revelation when He said the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony, we know that this body before is a tabernacle in the wilderness of intellectual wandering. But when we are born again He sees us as a finished product over yonder, and in that He sees us as the temple of Almighty God, the bone and flesh of the Lord Jesus Christ, not as the first man Adam of a figure of Him to come, that that was illuminated, that lost that illumination unto intellectual darkness, but seeing us as the inbred, as that Christ within us, that we are now, by foreknowledge, the temples of God, as to a finished product over there, changed from this first man Adam, as unto death, as the second man Adam, the quickening spirit, unto life. First man Adam a living soul; the second man Adam a quickening spirit. So then, when we see this then we find ourself in what we call the book of Revelation. Or I brought this out the other night what the revelation is. I'm preaching the revelation to you. And when we preach revelation, it's like I was telling my wife Betty today. See? When Nebuchadnezzar saw this dream. You remember that dream he saw? He saw a head of gold and he saw shoulders and arms of silver, a belly and thigh of brass and he saw legs and feet of iron, and the feet mixed with clay. And when we think of this then we're looking at this thing all the way down from the old Babylonian kingdom all the way down to our day. And the last thing that we see of that we see of those feet mixed the clay, as to the iron and clay, which brings us to what I brought out the other night of Kruschev. Or Gorbachev, that is, and of the Roman Pope. These coming together, the Catholic of iron, and that of Communism which shows clay. And it shows this image coming all the way down, as to the Nebuchadnezzar kingdom of gold and the Medo-Persian of the silver, and the Grecians, as Alexandria the great of the brass. And of the kingdom of the Romans of iron and then the kingdom of Communism of clay. And it shows it coming all the way down, crossing the B.C., over the A.D., going right on down to the end time. And it said in the time of the ten toes, which takes us right back to the ten horns that's on the beast. And the time of these ten nations coming together it's going to be a mixture of Communism and of Catholicism. And when it comes together that won't mix. But they are going to try to come together in the end time. And the Bible said, In the days of the kingdom of the ten toes then there was hewn out of the mountain a little stone, not with hands. But it was hewn out of the mountain and it came rolling down through Babylon, in that the world has gotten in such a condition now that it is a Babylon. And of course, Babylon is right over there next to Jerusalem. You know the battle that Mr. Bush had overthrowing Babylon with Hussein. So then, it came rolling down through Babylon tearing down the kingdoms of the world. So we know that he intends to let us know that the world is Babylon. Tearing down the kingdoms of the world, and it grew and grew and grew until it filled all of the earth. This kingdom, of course, has to do with the Jewish people that God will raise up and they will smite the entire world as the armies correlate and come in there. And Jesus coming back, Revelation 19, on the white horse, the blood to the horses bridles, and then they will grow in the millennium until they fill all of the earth during the time of the millennium and establish the house of the Lord to the extent that in the high hills it will be establish. In that day it will be beautiful and all the people of the nations will say, Come, and let us go up unto the house of the Lord and let Him teach us of His ways. So they will grow and Jesus Christ will be that stone sitting there. Or that will be the kingdom, as to the Jews, and to us today it is the revelation of Jesus Christ. That little stone is Christ which is the revelation. Let me say a few things more here and we're going to close. So the temple of the tabernacle was opened. Just like the rent veil at Calvary it was opened in the physical dimension, having to do with the physical and the spiritual. Here we see that it's open, as to the spiritual here, and passed through Calvary, as to the second power of the physical. And relates back in it's pattern to the first power, which is that of Moses in the wilderness. Earthly, physically, heavenly. So then, we see that this temple of the tabernacle was open and then these angels stood as the last plagues, and to be poured out from the middle of the week on. And in this it is when one of these vials are poured out that the river Euphrates is dried up to make way for the kings of the east, as to the confederation of the United Army of Europe and the United States of Europe. And that coming in to fulfill what Jesus said, as to the desolation. Now. And then at the end of this plague pouring, or that is the pouring out of these plagues, there is one last plague and the Bible speaks of this plague as being poured out in the air. And when this plague is poured out in the air it is at this time that John said such a great earthquake took place. Never before, never, has there been such an earthquake. And he said it was so terrible until I saw the mountains move out of their places. And this I have told you in the past, indicates where the world comes upright on it's axis. All of a sudden it comes upright. Now they are expecting an earthquake in California that they call the real bad one. And they say now it's very close at hand. Since the last one moved the mountains and one mountain excelled another mountain and maybe came a little close together, as to the mountains. Now they are expecting this great one to come. And this great one, they say, will move Los Angeles from where it's at all the way over to San Francisco. Which we were talking today of about four hundred miles. Now, that could not possibly be unless it was the time of the coming up of the earth to shift something that far. So then, that means that one is laying in there to have to do with what John was talking about here where so great an earthquake — All of these earthquakes are working up to this earthquake. Like over here an earthquake strikes, like the Indonesia, California, Pennsylvania, Tennessee. So many of them have struck here, as of late. Now, they're cracking the ground all to pieces. Just cracking it up like an egg. All under the ocean it's cracked up just like an egg. See? And everything is just right for the big earthquake that when it strikes it can just tear the whole world apart and the big buildings, like in New York and London and different places will just topple over like that. But John said, When I saw this earthquake I saw the cities of all the nations crumble to the ground. So, and these islands were moved out of their places. Obviously, the ones that were up before that went down will come back and these that were down will go back down. So it looks like this last plague when it's poured out in the air will bring the change, as to the earth coming back upright for that was the last plague. And then it comes back upright then comes the millennium of this new fertile soil and the world will begin to just knit itself back together just exactly like it was to begin with. Being tilted like it is now, and the way the things run, as to the tremors, it causes the earth to crack. It's not balanced right. But just as quick as God brings it upright the way that He made it, it will go back to it's originality as when the Word said, Let there be. And as quick as it comes back to the Word everything will just knit itself back together. And see? The same way with you and I. That can't happen until the physical dimensions comes to this same thing. And when you and I that are broken apart and heartaches and sorrows, problems and woes and all these kind of things, and as to the rent veil of the separation of the body and the spirit, see? When we come upright on our axis, as it was when Adam was upright, the world was upright. And when we come back to the upright position, as to the church, it will give them a chance, as to the Jews, to bring in the millennium, because then the earth will come upright. So when you come upright all of your environmental surroundings will come upright. And that means that we have to do that as the church; conquer, bring everything to a perfection in the body, a church without spot, wrinkle and blemish for Christ to come back for before our environment, which is the earth, can completely lose and be eradicated of the curse. So, we are not under the curse but we've never been changed as of yet. But we have this wonderful promise from God, that the creature, the body itself shall be changed into the glorious liberties of the sons of God, which sons of God are spiritual angelic beings residing in these little houses of clay that are already in the earth today. For now, beloved, are ye the sons of God. So it doth not yet appear what ye shall be, as to the appearance, but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him and everyone that hath this hope within them purifies themselves by that faith, even as He is pure. So we're looking and hastening unto the coming of the day of the Lord. We see then that with these earthquakes it make us know that the time is right on us. Let's everybody stand together. It's getting just a little bit cool in here. You can understand by the exhortation that we're bringing to you tonight the great wonderful glory of God and the things that God has done for you. These things the Lord has done for you. Remember that tabernacle went to a temple in the days of Solomon. Here we see it as a temple. From David's time back as a tabernacle but when it comes to Solomon's time it's a temple and it's torn down and restored and torn down and restored. And now they are getting on the verge of restoring it again. This time they hope to restore it unto the nations flowing to it. Whereas, knowing nothing spiritually they are contemplating doing this naturally. But that's not the way it's going to be. It will be brought back as to a natural restoration, but not in this natural frame of mind that they are in right now, before the millennium comes in. They'll only attempt to do that and in doing it there will be a problem with it. It will not be as it will in the millennium. All right. Let's sing a little chorus together, can we? While we're singing these little choruses the altar is open and you are welcome to come. (Singing.) Sing it with me. (Singing.) While we're standing here just let's lift our hands. We come to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Let us go on to perfection growing in the grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus to the full measure of the full stature to the full reward of Christ. Now that you know, knowing these things happy are ye if ye do them. So, now that you know incorporate them into your lifestyle. Let God lead you, God guide you. God wants your heart. Eyes throughout the earth, going to and fro looking for the upright in heart that He might show Himself strong in their behalf. The Bible said God is looking for the pure in heart for the pure in heart shall see God. So while we sing these little choruses together let's just lift our hands up, close our eyes tonight and worship the Lord. Can we do that? (Singing Begin tape two, side one.) Sing that with me. (Singing.) Sing it one more time. (Singing.) Let's sing this little chorus, I will praise Him. (Singing.) Now while you've got your hands up and your eyes closed I was going to pray for this young lady up here. I thought she wanted to be prayed for here but evidently she meant for me to pray for her when I'm at home or we pray for her tonight together. She's been having some problems and it's been recommended that she go to the doctor for these things but she wants to believe God. She wants God to touch her tonight. So tonight we're going to pray for her. She's back up here. We're going to pray for her and while we pray for her you just lift your hands up out there and let's trust the Lord while I pray for her. While we're praying tonight lift your hands up and believe with me. Father Lord of Heaven, we thank You and we bless you. And dear God, for the wonderful healing power we feel already, the power of God (?) Lord (?) and your answer right now in the name of Jesus Christ. And you're moving it away right now. In Jesus name. Hallelujah! (?) Hallelujah! I felt God (?) I felt the Spirit of God. You know, there was a lady that called us just a few days ago from over in Tennessee and she said she had cancer of the liver and cancer of the breast and she ask us to pray for her. The doctors were expecting her to die any minute, or any day, it was said. And, you know what? We prayed for her and you could feel the power of God. I could feel the power of God. And she said, I feel the power of God over here. And you could tell that she did feel the power of God and I could really feel the power of God on this side. You know, the one thing that we need to do is believe. We've got to have faith. It's like I told them the other day. I said, You take faith away from Bethlehem and you don't have a Bethlehem because we built Bethlehem by faith and God has always done the miraculous in my life and in Betty's life as we've traveled around over the world. And everywhere we've been across the world He has abundantly met our needs, healed our bodies, kept us well and helped us to pray for others and others have been healed. And see? Wherever God is there is the miraculous. If there is no miraculous there is no God with you. You know, it's like when the angel was there and the angel said to Gideon, Oh, thou mighty man of valor, God is with thee. Gideon said, If God is with us where is the miracles? So then, we live by miracles, we walk by miracles. We enjoy miracles everyday of our lives and whatever you do you must take a step to do it by faith. When Moses stood down at the Red Sea God said, Moses, what are you doing standing here? See? When He told them to cross the Jordan He said, Put your foot in the water; God will take care of it. And as they took their steps forward the big mighty Red Sea rolled back, the dispersed waters, and when they put their foot in the waters of the Jordan it rolled back. And when Joshua commanded the sun it stood still. And we are children of faith. We are children that are perfect in the sight of God, given the testament of faith to believe for all of our needs. We should practice faith. Always practice faith and if we don't do that we're failing God because God is the great God of the spirit and God cannot be glorified unless you do that. He cannot even come present. He is the invisible God. When Peter stepped out on the water it glorified God. The others did not have that testimony. The others did not have that faith; yet they were men just like Peter, but Peter believe God. See? And you have to believe God. Always believe God. All of these teachings are to teach you that you are perfect and that out of that perfection comes faith, the faith of Christ Jesus that you might change your body and if you don't believe then you don't change your body. You're body will not change. There is no need of you thinking that some miraculous thing is just going to come forth, God is going to drop down out of heaven and change your bodies. Unless you believe He will not do that. It's the hope within you, as to faith, that purifies your heart, that brings that, as to the quickening, that causes you to change. So you want to believe. Day and night you want to believe, to bring every thought into subjection. That's why that the translation has not taken place, is because your faith has not been perfected. And we're set here as the minister to perfect your faith that it might change you, even as the Bible said concerning Enoch, that Enoch was translated by faith. And I thought it was real strange as we were talking the other day because at Sister Betty's mother's funeral we were discussing some things after the funeral, I believe it was or sometime during this time after the funeral. Maybe it was up here after her brother had come up here and I came to realize that his name was Enoch. John Enoch. And I thought that was really something because all of a sudden John is wanting to come up in this area. Right at this particular time when we're teaching the translation is nigh at hand, and all these things, for some strange reason he just takes a notion that he and his companion wants to move into this area, or come into this area. And I thought that was real strange in that his name is Enoch. But we need to think about this because this is what it's going to take to get you out this world, as we say. While we sing this little chorus again let's lift our hands up and close our eyes and we'll give you a chance to be dismissed. (Singing.) I'm going to ask Brother Stafford, if he will to come and dismiss us tonight. And while he's coming let's just lift our hearts up to God, our hands up to God. Tell the Lord how much you love Him tonight. Tell Him, say, Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief. I believe. I believe that You've healed by body at Calvary. I believe that You've forgiven my sins. I believe that I've passed from death unto life. I believe that I'll never come into condemnation. I believe that You've made me without spot, wrinkle or blemish. I believe that I'm the apple of Your eye. I believe that You'll supply all of my needs according to Your riches in glory and I believe that You'll give me the desires of my heart, oh, Lord. I believe that You've come that I might have life and have it more abundant, as to filled up and overflowing. I believe, dear God, that Your blessings maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. And I believe that I'll be like a tree that's planted by the rivers of living waters, that I'll bring forth my fruit in my season and my leaves shall not wither and whatsoever I do shall prosper. I believe that whatsoever I say I will have. I believe that whatever I ask in prayer that if I doubt not You'll give it to me. I believe that if I decree a thing in my heart, God, that it shall be mine. See? I believe. I believe. I believe. On and on and on, I believe. All the promises of God are yea and amen. Paul said, I did not come to you with promises, or words, of God as to say the Word of God is yea and nay for God's Word is yea and amen and all of His promises. So say Yea and amen I believe. Oh, Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief. I believe. We are believers. So while you've got your hands up and Brother Richard comes to dismiss you remember we are believers.
