<TITLE>03. Par 10-12</TITLE>L-10 And there in that moment, rejoicing, I raised up my hands, and I said, "Great Jehovah God, how marvelous You are, the Great Creator of heavens and earth. I see You in Revelations 1, Jesus setting there with a rainbow over His head. He's to look upon jasper and sardine stone; that's Benjamin and Reuben's stone, First and the Last, He that was, which is, and shall come, Root and Offspring of David, the Morning Star, the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley; standing with His covenant with the Church can't fail. The seven colors in the rainbow, the Seven Church Ages all blended together make one great resurrection of the body of Christ." Oh, my! Something begin to breathe out in me.
And you know what? If somebody would've come up in that hillside, they'd have thought they'd had either a maniac or the Salvation Army up there. I was running around and around the tree, screaming to the top of my voice. It's a good thing I was about thirty-five or forty miles from civilization. I didn't care what people thought. I was worshipping the Lord. And if the elks wanted to look in, the bears, they could look on; that was all right. But I was just having a good time.

L-11 And I looked back to that rainbow and hear that wolf hollering again, and around and around the tree I'd go just as hard as I could, hollering, "Glory to God, praise the Lord," just as hard as I could scream. Yes, they'd have thought I was a maniac, shaking my hands and a screaming the top of my voice. And I stopped. I was just having a great time rejoicing.
I heard a little old pine squirrel begin to chirping. I looked over to that little old fellow, and he come out on the stump there where there'd been blow-down, some trees blowed down. And I thought he was getting at me.
Those are the noisiest little fellows in the woods. And he was just a carrying on, you know, and he certainly is a policeman. All the game runs when he goes to hollering, 'cause they know that something's near. And I thought he was barking at me because I was carrying on like that. I thought, "Surely he wasn't amening me." So I looked at him, and he kept...?... chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter. And I looked at him awhile, and after while I found out what he was barking at.

L-12 There's a big eagle had been forced down in there. The big fellow lifted himself up on a limb, great big gray eyes begin to look back and forth. And I thought, "Well now, why did God stop me to look at that eagle? Nothing good about him; he's just a scavenger. So why did I have to look at that eagle and not this rainbow now?" And I thought, "Well, Lord, what'd You do that for?" And I said, "Now, what's about the eagle? I don't see nothing of him that looks beautiful. He's just a big old eagle setting there." Frankly, I--you kill a deer and he will eat it up for you, if you don't hide it." So I thought, "Well, what's that fellow sitting there for?"
I looked at him, and after while I thought, "Here's the reason the Lord wanted me to see that. Look how brave he is. My he's brave." I said, "Say, you know I could shoot you?" He looked around at me like that, roll those big eyes around, and looked back at that little old pine squirrel. And I thought, "I know you're not afraid of him, but you surely afraid of me." And so I said, "I'll see how a scared he is." I reached like I was going to grab my rifle, like that. And when I did he--he moved; he looked at me. I seen him. I said, "Well, why is he so brave? What makes him so brave? And I happen to notice, he was moving his feathers in his wings all the time. I said "I see it." God gave him two wings; he's got confidence in it. And I tell you, he knows that he could be in that timber before I could get that rifle off the ground. Ha, that's right.
