<TITLE>08. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 Now, you say, "Well, was that the orthodox?" Yes. Jesus first came to the Jew and not the Gentile. See? He--He commissioned His disciples not to go to any Gentile. He said he came to His own, and His own received Him not. Watch. He said as He commissioned them in the 10th chapter of Saint Matthew; He said, "Go not in the way of the Gentiles, but go rather, to the lost sheep of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' See? Don't go in the ways of the city of Samaria, or any of the rest the way, but go first to the lost sheep of Israel."
That's the reason the glorious sunlight was shining around the woman, and she, being in pain, travailing to give birth to this child...
And she brought forth a man Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron...
And the dragon stood by the woman, which is Rome, to devour the Child as soon as it was born. And Rome did persecute the Child. They sent forth and killed all the children from two years old up, or two year old down, rather, that they might kill Christ, and catch Him in the Herod made this issue. But the woman's child was caught up to God, from the resurrection was caught up to God and sets on the right hand of God.
Now, that would just cut loose all the man Child doctrine, wouldn't it? See?

L-27 But now, the law (Hebrews 10 again) having a shadow of things to come, and not the very image, but the shadow...
Now, the other night I was discussing with a very fine person on the doctrine of the millennium. I said, "I believe in the millennium, because there's too many shadows of the Old Testament that speaks that there will be a millennium. There's got to be: too many shadows."
They said, "Will the church go through the tribulation?"
I said, "No. The church can't go through the tribulation. It's got to go before the tribulation: too many shadows." Look, that Noah in the beginning... Noah, all the Old testament, all the law and how it was a shadow of good things to come. Now, before the tribulation period struck first...

L-28 Enoch... the... but--a Noah--Noah was a type that was carried over like the sleeping virgin. But Enoch was translated just before the tribulation struck. And Enoch was took up, and was found not, because God took him: the type of the going forth of the church. And Noah watched him. When he seen Enoch go, he knew it was time to enter the ark, for to be carried through the tribulation.
The Bible said there was ten virgins went out to meet the bridegroom, and five were wise; five were foolish. And they were all virgins, every one of them. But five was wise. And they had oil in their lamp. And they went out to meet the bridegroom. And the bridegroom came. And the ones that had oil, went in.
See, the translation, going with the Bridegroom. But those who were left behind, they come and wanted in too just like those who come and knocked on the door of the ark. "Noah, let us in." But God closed the door.
No, friend of mine, one of these days God's going to give you your final call, then the door's going to be closed between mercy, and judgment. Don't be left out. Get in now while you can. Don't pay no attention to what the world says. Get into Christ, for those that are in Christ will God bring with Him. See?
