<TITLE>08. Par 66-73</TITLE>L-66 Now there's a picture of the Gentile Church coming into Christ. 'Cause we were once aliens away from God, only the Jews was--was the ones to be saved. But we, being dead in Christ, take on Abraham's Seed and are heirs according to the promise, and Christ got a Gentile Bride. That's exactly right.
Now, in order to redeem, Boaz to redeem Naomi's lost estate; that was the backslidden state of Israel... Then Moab--Moab had to come out, and when he did... Boaz, rather, and when he came out, he had to kick off his shoe before the gates of, before the elders to make a public testimony that he had redeemed that lost woman and her estate. And in doing that, then he bought back, also, he got in there his bride, the woman he--he was looking for. He had to redeem the woman first, in order to get the bride. Don't you see?
And that's the same thing Christ did. He made a public testimony at the gates of Jerusalem, when He was beaten, smitten, afflicted, and was led up Calvary to Cal--Golgotha's hill, and bathed the hill with His Own Blood as a public testimony that He had redeemed all the fallen estate from back yonder in the beginning, and has redeemed His people from the curse of sin and from the clutches of hell.

L-69 And knowing that she would need something more in the last days, than what she's got now, He said, "I'll not leave you comfortless. I'll pray the Father and He'll give you another comforter, which is the Holy Ghost. He will abide with you forever. A little while and the world seeth Me no more; but I'm going up to heaven and get this thing fixed up, and I'll come back and be with you, even in you, until the end of the age." That's what I'm talking about. If you hear me, say, "Amen." [Congregation,"Amen."--Ed.] That's right. That's what I'm speaking of now, is Him coming again in His power.

L-70 Ages has flowed on, "Oh, Who is He?" My, this morning, they think of some little object of worship, some little manger out there, some little... And I'm not thinking of that. I'm thinking of Christ, the hope of glory, in our hearts this morning by the Holy Ghost. That's right.
Oh, condemned by the world... God has always come into the world; when He did, the world hated Him. "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of God." We're in that day, friends.

L-73 And now notice, "A little while and the world seeth Me no more; yet you'll see Me, for I'll be with you, even in you, even to the end of the world." That's right. He's here now. And in the days, how His big picture always revolved up and made the same thing come to pass that we're seeing now. The great drama is set, and we're ready now to see great things happen.
The Church has been brought from the cradle. That's right. Pentecostal rocked it down yonder a few years ago, back there while the people throwed stones, and made fun, and laughed at, but she's growed to maturity now. That's exactly right. The hour is here. Hallelujah. That's right. That's what I'm interested in, to see God's Church coming together now. We've been beat out here, and beat out there, but the hour is coming when God's throwing the blanket around us all to draw us in, while the enemy's at the gate. Hallelujah. Yes, sir.
He's standing now for His people. Daniel said, "The great things of the last days, when these things come to pass, my, the great exploits will the people then, the men of faith will do, in that day."
