<TITLE>23. Par 79-81</TITLE>L-79 Now, Jesus never come to earth just to say, "I'll have preachers go out and preach some, tell them about what I done, and maybe somebody will feel sorry for Me and get saved." God don't run His office like that.
There God at the beginning knowed exactly who would be saved. Jesus come to save those, that God knew would be saved. He wasn't willing that they'd be lost. But to be God, He knowed who would be lost and who would be saved. Therefore He could predestinate, not predestinate... He--He fore... By foreknowledge He could set in order to make everything work to His glory, because that's...
The devil--the devil isn't omnipresent nor omnipotent. Neither does he know the end from the beginning; God alone knows it. That's one thing, God just up here, He knows.
The devil don't know what's going to happen. He doesn't know what's going to happen. Only thing he knows; he's just the devil. And he just does what he can do. And everything he can get into, he does it. But God knows the end. Amen. So God knowing the end, He can make everything work right to His Glory. Amen. Oh, I love Him. My, my. See? He's God.

L-80 So remember, when the last person that had their... When was your name put on the Lamb's Book of Life? Yesterday? last year? year before last? No, sir. When the world was created, your name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life. That's what the Bible said.
The Bible said in Revelations, "And the antichrist deceived all that dwelt upon the face of the earth, whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life from the foundation of the world." Your name was written then.
Now, the only thing... You say, "What's preaching the Gospel then?"
Well, the Bible plainly explains it. See? He said, "The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that took a net and went to the sea or a lake, and he cast the net into the sea, and he pulled it out." That's preaching the Gospel. See? There's a whole sea. The United States is a lake, and the ministers... now, I go down here and stand at Jeffersonville on this corner of the lake. Say, "Brother Neville, you been seining?"
"Yes."
"Doing any good?"
"Not, too much."
"Well, let's... I'll seine with you a little while." And I'll throw my net out, and he throws his. And here we pull, preaching. Pull it in, and bunch of people come up and say, "Yeah, I want to accept the Lord Jesus."
All right, look around, which is fish, which ones? I don't know. See? Well, I...

L-81 "What are you going to do now?"
"Well, I'm going over in California. The Lord sent me over in California. Just... I'm going to seine over there awhile." I'll go down and throw my net out like this, and push in. Fifteen hundred comes at one time. Was all of them saved? I don't know. There they are. I take the net up; that's the Gospel net.
Some of them, the Bible said, was all kinds of things that was in the water. They all breathe on the same water, lived in the same water. Is that right? See? There was terrapins, mud turtles, snakes, frogs, lizards, scavengers, and real fish.
Now, those that were fish when the Gospel net went over them, was fish when they were on the bank. Those that were terrapins in the Gospel net, were terrapins on the bank. It won't be long till they'll take right back for the mud again. As a hog to its wallow, and a dog to its vomit, away they go. See? But at the beginning, they were terrapins to begin with. It's not my business to say they're terrapins. I don't know. I'm just seining (See?), just pulling the net. But when the last fish is come out of the water, brother that's it.
