<TITLE>11. Par 110-120</TITLE>L-110 And then he looked upon Jesus, had seven rainbow colors above Him; He was in this, which was God's covenant. And He was standing in the midst of Seven Golden Candlesticks. And He was to look upon as jasper and sardius stone. Jasper was Reuben, and sardius stone was Benjamin; that was the first and the last of the patriarchs. That Alpha and Omega; the Beginning and the Ending, and the seven rainbow colors, Seven Church Ages, the covenant with Him, and the Seven Golden Candlesticks with the seven stars... Oh, what a picture, if we get to it after while, maybe, the Lord willing. All right.
 ... Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending saith the Lord, which is, which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Who is He? What's this the revelation of? Jesus Christ. And here He's not a prophet. Here He is the Almighty, God manifested, the Alpha, Omega. "I'm from A to Z. I'm He That Was, Which Is, and Shall Come. I am the Almighty." Pretty clear, isn't it? No chance of controversy there. "Lord, which Was, which Is, and shall come, the Almighty."

L-112 Now, John speaks. Listen.
 I John, who also am your brother, in compassion in tribulation, and in the kingdom the patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that's called Patmos, for the word of God...
Say, could you imagine a man being put in a place like that, for the Word of God? Yes.
 ... for the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

L-114 He was exiled out there for preaching the Word to a religious people. That's what the Word says. Isn't it? He was out there for preaching: exiled, excommunicated from the church, from society, from all the world. Amen. But he wasn't excommunicated from the One Who loved him and washed him in His Own Blood. He was with His Presence in the isle called Patmos, "for the Word of God's sake."
I wonder how many preachers today would go? Gets down till he goes... do a little something... A little something get upset, we get so disturbed about it. And here this man had been boiled in grease for twenty-four hours, and throwed out on the Isle of Patmos, and the Lord was still with him.
I just like that old song they used to sing, "If Jesus goes with me, I'll go anywhere." We sing it, but I wonder if we really mean it. To my honest opinion, it won't be too long till you're going to be given a chance to prove it, so you better be really sure. Check up, take inventory, see if everything's just right.

L-117 Now, just how, just got a--getting started here now. John answers, and he said he was in the Isle of Patmos, for the Word of God, and testimony.
 I was in the Spirit... (I like that.)... I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day...
Speaking of another day now, to my Advent friends, which we're sure to get into it, after while. All right.
 ... in the Spirit on the Lord's day... (got in the Spirit), and I heard behind me a great voice... of a trumpet.

L-119 Let's not leave these symbols now. We're basing up now, so we know what we're talking about when we get over here. See what we're going to speak about, "Who is It? What is this Fellow? What's the revelation of Jesus Christ? Who is He anyhow? How did it come? What does it mean to me?" See if It means anything to you. See? "See what it takes place there, to me." Notice.
 I was in the Spirit...

L-120 No matter how saintly you are, how godly you are, how much of a minister or lay member, or whatever you are, you'll never be able to get anywhere with God till you get in the Spirit. That's right. I don't mean get in emotion. I mean get in the Spirit. See, see? You get in emotion, do anything. But when you get in the Spirit, you see things. That's right.
