<TITLE>15. Par 47-49</TITLE>L-47 In closing, sometime ago--forty, fifty years ago--there was a great evangelist crossed the middle eastern country, a famous man. His name was Daniel Curry. You might've read of him. And one night, he had a dream, and he dreamed that he died, and he went to heaven. And when he got up to the gate, the gatekeeper come out and said, "Who approaches this gate?"
And he said, "I, Daniel Curry, approaches this gate. I'm an evangelist, and I am approaching this gate. I have won many souls to the Lord Jesus, and I'm approaching this gate to have my eternal reward in heaven."
And the gatekeeper said, "Just a moment, Mr. Curry." He goes and he looks all through the book. He comes back; he said, "Mr. Curry, I am sorry to inform you, but your name is not here. I cannot let you in."
"Oh," he said, "you must be mistaken, sir. Look again."
He did. He said, "I am sorry, but you cannot come in," he said, "because your name is not here." He said, "The only one thing you can do now, if you wish to, you might appeal your case, if you wish to, to the great white throne judgment."
"Oh," he said, "if my name is not there, I have no choice. I must appeal my case to the white throne judgment."

L-48 So he said he begin to move out into space. He went on and on. Said it started getting lighter and lighter and lighter. After while, it got so light, till it was coming from no certain place, but just a great Light, million times lighter than the sun. And said he got just slower and slower. After while, stopped. He heard a great voice blast from the somewhere in the eternities, said, "Daniel Curry." He said, "Did you ever tell a lie when you was on earth?"
And he said, "I was just getting ready to say, 'No, my Lord,' and--but in the Presence of that Light, I seen there was many things that I'd misrepresented."
Said, "Daniel Curry, did you ever steal while you were on earth?"
He said, "I was getting ready to say, 'No, Lord, I've been an honest man, an evangelist,' but," he said, "in the Presence of that Light I thought of many shady deals I'd pulled."

L-49 Brother, you might not think much about it now, but in the Presence of that Light... Go look... A whole lot of things that... You think, "Well, I belong to church, preacher. That's good enough." But in the Presence of that Light, you're going to need more than that. You will.
He said, "Daniel Curry, was you perfect when you was on earth?" And said, "I said, 'No, Lord. I wasn't perfect.'" And so out... There was a silence. I was getting ready to hear the great blast." He said, "My bones were pulling loose, as it were. Now, I'm going to hear that great blast, 'Depart from My Presence, for only perfection can come in here. Depart into everlasting fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels.'" Said, "As I listened to hear that," he said, "I heard the sweetest voice that I ever heard. No mother could speak like that voice." And said, "I turned to look." Said, "I saw a face sweeter than any mother's face. I never seen anything," he said, "that could compare with that face. And He walked close to me, put His arms around me, and said, 'Father, no. Daniel Curry wasn't perfect on earth, but in earth, he stood for Me. Now in heaven, I'll stand for him."
