<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 Now, that's when Jesus knew He was going to take over. And He ruled and reigned a thousand years. Won't have any war then, all the--the--the--the swords will be beat into plowshares (Is that right?) and into pruning hooks. And we will have no more war. Won't that be wonderful?
And all the old people, in the resurrection will turn back to young men and women again. Isn't that marvelous? See? When you're old, most of us we're passed that bloom of life... When you're born, God intended that. And if nothing interrupts your life, you'll become to a full statue of man or woman, whatever He intended you to be, if there's not some interruption. Satan does interrupt Him. And then when...
Did you ever think that the color of hair that you got when you was a young woman of about twenty and you was a young man, do you realize that that'll be the same color of hair in the resurrection? That's right.
Just think; if a--if a yellow grain of corn goes in the ground, a blue grain don't come up in its place, does it? No. See, the whole Christian principle is based on resurrection. The same one goes down; the same one comes up. See?

L-5 And now, when you was about sixteen and, or twenty... You was around about your best, I guess, it was about twenty, twenty-one, and I think the cells reach their best. You remember when the first morning you was combing and you happened to run into a gray something here in the side? You went and said, "Look, mother."
Yes, I was about twenty-five maybe. And you happened to notice mother, those beautiful dove eyes like that... Wrinkles is beginning to come under them, strange, about twenty-five. After while them wrinkles begin to get more and more. That hair begins to get grayer. And then that flesh begins to fatten out, water comes in. You begin moving back then. Death has set in. It's going to conquer you. That's right. God said for it to. That's the only avenue He can take you out of here. Is that right?

L-6 Then you're--you're living up till that time, and then you're dying. You're going back until the day that it'll finally conquer you, and your cells deteriorate, go back into the dust of the earth. But God don't lose nothing. He knows right wherever He had them in the first place. If He didn't, how did they ever come on you? Nobody didn't paste it on you and makes you bigger. You just pushed out and drove, and pushed out till they come to the regular size. Is that right? Then all that death can do for you is take you out of this life.
And some writer said one time said, "The only thing death could do to a believer, that God harnessed it to a buggy, and it pulls the believer in the Presence of his Maker (That's a good idea. Is that right?), just pulls him right up to God. And then that's--that's all it can do.

L-7 Then in the resurrection... See, all death can do is take you out of this life. Then it's finished. And in the resurrection then there's--death has no part at all. Then just what you was when you were your best what God had you, that's what you'll be in the resurrection.
If I had a chance, or was going to be here a little longer, I can take God's Bible and prove that's the truth. Exactly without a--without a shadow of doubt, just exactly what He done to--to, back in the Old Testament, and the things, and prove it by the Word of God that you'll be just like you are when you were young, and you'll be young forever.
We will vary in size. Different... Now, you say, "Oh, you... I believe we will all look just alike."
Well, God's not that type of a person. Look at His creation. He's got palm trees down here, and He's got oak trees up in my country, and He's got pine trees over in the mountains. He's got little mountains, big mountains, little trees, big trees. He's got deserts, and--and jungles, and deserts, and mountains, and plains, and seas.
