<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 Now, in this great vital subject, before we approach it, let's talk to the Author of the Word, the Lord Jesus, just in a moment of prayer if we'll bow our heads.
Our kind heavenly Father, we now come to Thee humbly in the Name of the Lord Jesus Thy Son, and asking for Divine mercy and guidance in the Scripture, realizing myself, that here before me sets the purchase of His Blood. And one Word misrepresented might cause some soul to be turned away. But the right Word, represented at the right time and in the right place, might cause a wayward sinner to come to Christ. So help us, dear God, and seal our lips to anything that would be contrary to Thy Divine will. You know every heart, and You know the need of every heart. And we pray that You'll let the Holy Spirit take the Word of God and direct It to every heart just as we have need, for we ask it in Christ's Name, Thy Son. Amen.
Now, in the 13th chapter of--of the Revelations of Jesus Christ, we want to read a portion from there, and also from the 14th chapter of the Book of Revelation.

L-6 Now, there is a--a seat setting over here, a little bench, if Brother Fleeman, if you'd want to get it for some of them in the back. It's right extremely against the wall over here. Why, you'd be more than welcome.
Our little church is not adequate maybe for size of the--the people, but we... People come and can't get the seats, and then they go back. But we started here, and it's a sacred little spot, and we love it dearly with all of our heart. And we--we just like to stay in these little old walls, because God has come down many times and blessed us in these walls.

L-7 Now, in the 13th chapter, and beginning with the... Let's see; we began about the 11th verse of the 13th chapter of the Revelation.
And I beheld a beast coming up out of the earth;... he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
And he exercised all the power of the first beast before him, and caused the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
And he does great wonders, so as to make fire come down from heaven on... earth in the sight of men,
And deceived them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image unto the beast, which had the wound by the sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause... as many as would... worship the image of the beast should be killed.
And he caused all, both small... great, rich... poor, free... bound, to receive a mark in their right hand, and in their forehead:
And... no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the numbers of the beast: for it's the number of a man;... his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
In the 14th chapter we read this:
And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwelled on the earth, and to every nation,... kindred,... tongue, and people.
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment has come: and worship him that made heavens, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water.
And there followed him another angel, saying, Babylon is falling, is falling, the great city, because it made all nations to drink from the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast or his image, or receive his mark in their forehead or... hand,
The same shall drink... of the wrath of God, which is poured out, without mixture into the cup of... indignation; and... shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
