<TITLE>09. Par -</TITLE>L-118-69 "What about in the rapture?" Well, in the rapture time... Jesus taught that as a parable. And He taught it many different ways. Here's one way. He said that there was ten virgins went out to meet the Lord. And saw... All of them were virgins, but some had Oil in their lamps and some let the Oil go out. Is that right? And when the Bride... Now, what was the Oil? The Oil was the Holy Spirit; the Bible said so. Now, look. They were virgins. Now, what does virgin mean? "Holy, clean, separated, sanctified." Is that right?

L-118-70 If I had a little glass here I'd show you what... Here, for instance like this bottle here, if it was empty, and I picked it up, and it was just as dirty as it could be... I want to use it. Well now, the first thing I want to do is justification; I pick it up because I want to use it. It's dirty; I found it out in the--in the pigpen, or wherever it was. Now, if I'm the right kind of person, well, I don't want to put something clean in there I'm going to have to use. I--I'd have to fix that thing up first. Now, the best thing to do is scour it, clean it, and sanctify it. Is that right? Now, what does the word "sanctify" mean? "Cleaned and set aside for service." The vessels of the old temple was cleaned and set aside for service.
Now, there's the church: God picked them up through the Lutheran age, justification; Wesley age, He sanctified them; and in this age He fills them. See? He puts the Life in them. And when this, His Life through the Holy Spirit... The Holy Spirit picked them up; the Holy Spirit sanctified them; the Holy Spirit filled them. See? It's all the same church. But now look. Now, in this day...

L-119-72 Now, I think that Luther, Wesley, and all of them, many of them will go in the rapture. They had the portion of the Spirit was preached to them; they believed it.
Now, in the rapture... There's people today who went in those denominations that didn't move on. It's a... There's only been one denomination; that's God's church; and It's just moved on just the same. But these organizations has broke these things up like that. And many people today will look at the baptism of the Holy Ghost and say it's nonsense. But yet they been justified; yet they been sanctified. But they say, "Oh, that's carrying on, that stuff."
I know the devil's got all kinds of scarecrows out. That's where you find the good apples, is around where the scarecrow's at. That's right. Just go right on in behind the thing, go to eating apples. See?

L-119-75 Now, this... Then God filled with the Holy Spirit... Then He set His church out to glorify It. On the second coming, here comes the church back, the Bride. Now, watch. See whether they go through the tribulation period. He said, "These virgins, that they come and said, 'Give us of your oil.'"
"The Bridegroom comes." The sound went out, "Behold, the Bridegroom is coming. Go ye out to meet Him." And these virgins, who were virgins, holy, sanctified (Think of it), holy, sanctified people without the baptism of the Holy Ghost, they said, "Give us Oil."
And the church said, "We just have enough for ourself. You go pray up then." But it's too late then. So the church went into the wedding, and the others were cast into outer darkness (Is that right?), where there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth; and they went through the persecution, suffered, died.
