<TITLE>15. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 And look the whole Book of Revelations was wrote, sent, a Message by an Angel. "I, Jesus, have sent My Angel to signify these things which must shortly come to pass."
Now, a true angel, you're going to throw back Joseph Smith and so forth, to me. But, watch. It don't work with the Scripture. A real true Angel will come and vindicate this Scripture to the dot. Yes, sir.
Notice, that John fell down and wanted to worship that Angel. And He said, "See that you do it not, for I am thy fellow, thy fellow servants, and of the prophets worship God." A true Angel won't be worshiped. It's not worship of Angels; it's a ministry of Angels that comes from God.
Now, these minor Angels comes, perhaps, it's Angels with us, or comes to your--your humble servant. And that's probably a minor Angel. But when Gabriel comes, brother, there's something really on the road, something major going to happen. May... Gabriel announced the first coming of the Lord Jesus, and Gabriel will announce the second coming of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

L-33 There Zacharias, looking and the great Archangel standing there, Gabriel. And He--He saluted him, and said, "Now, after the days of your ministration," said, "you found grace with God; you're going home and be with your wife, Elisabeth, and she's going to conceive and bear a son."
"Now," he said, "these things can't be. I'm old."
And He told him he would be dumb until the day the baby was born. And they'd call his name, John.
See, no matter what man thinks, God's got a program, and it's going to be fulfilled. No matter, "God's able of the stones," John said, "to raise children unto Abraham."
So you know how the story goes. The people wondered why he was so late. And after while he come out and he was dumb. And he motioned to them, beckoned to them to go away. And he went home. And his wife conceived and hid herself for six months.
At this same time, there was a little virgin living in the city of Nazareth, meanest city in the country, way worst than Macon. And there she was living. No matter how bad the place is, you don't care how low the people is in your community, how wicked it is, yet, you can live a Christian life, no excuse for it. There out of all of the women in the world, God, chose a little lady, a little virgin living in the wickedest city there was in the land.

L-34 Let's give a little drama here for the sake of the children, many of them looking and listening.
I can see Mary, as oriental types, maybe it's Monday morning; that's a bad time for--for the women, it's wash day. Or it is at our house. Then I can see Mary go down to the virgins fountain and get some water. She sets a pot upon her head, as an oriental custom, or either on her shoulders. She comes walking back up along the side of the--the path. And all at once, a great Light comes in the path, and she looks into this Light, and there stands the mighty Archangel, Gabriel.
Said, "Hail, Mary."
Why, it excited the little virgin. It would excite you. I know how I felt, the first time I seen the Angel that speaks to me. Why, you... They say, "Why don't you ask Him His Name?" You--you don't ask nothing; you just listen.
Then said, "Hail. Blessed art thou among the women, for you've found favor in the sight of God." Oh, my, what a salute. And He said, "Now, behold thy cousin," which was Elisabeth, a cousin to Mary; John and Jesus were second cousins. Said, "She's with child of six months, which was called barren. But thou art going to have a Child, knowing no man."
She said, "How can these things be?"
He said, "The Holy Ghost will overshadow thee. And that holy Thing which will be borned of thee, shall be called the Son of God."
