<TITLE>22. Par 168-172</TITLE>L-168 I don't condemn the good works, I don't condemn their hospitals and good things they do. I think that's wonderful, and God's blessings to poor, suffering humanity. I don't condemn all these other things they're doing: fine, that's just right. And their great organizations and millions of dollars, I'd sure had rather see that than bootleg joints on the corner any time. I certainly honor them as ministers standing in the pulpit.
But when it comes to the gathering together at the end of the dispensation, it'll be waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God in that dispensation, that He might gather all together, all that has been brought into Christ. What is Christ? How many--how do we get into Him? I Corinthians 12, "By one Spirit we are all baptized into one Body, which is the Body of Christ, and made partakers of every gift and every good thing that He's got." Is that right? And the whole earth is groaning, crying, waiting for the manifestations that when Christ and His church will unite together.
 That... dispensation of the fulness of time... gather together in one... in all Christ, both which are in heaven, and in earth; and even in him:... earth; even in him:
In whom... we have obtained an inheritance,...

L-170 Oh, Brother Neville, forgive me for taking this time. I just... That word "inheritance." Oh, God. I know you... It's my kinsman Brother. I don't... I hope I'm not crazy. I--I--I just... I don't think I am. But, oh, my. A what? "An inheritance." We have obtained an inheritance. Somebody has to leave you something. God, before the foundation of the world, left you something: A name written on the Book, that when the Lamb would be slain you'd be recognized with It. Oh, let's save that for tonight. Let's just read on just a little bit. My, my. How we ever going to get to the 3rd verse tonight? So...?... We ain't even got four or five verses out of this. Now, we're fixing to close though. I'll just have to read it and let it go.

L-171 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being...
What? How do we get this heri--inheritance? How did we get it? Because we walked upright? How do we get this inheritance? Because we were predestinated. Whew. My Arminian brothers, I know that's awfully hard. I don't aim to hurt, but it just does me so good to know that it... You--you--you got it; you got it, brother, all right. You just don't see it. You got it just the same. See? You're all right (See?); you're all right. See? But you--you can... Oh, but it's so good to look at it. Just like what Brother Neville said about the arcade that time, "Get you a stepladder and go around and see what you got." Yes, sir. That's what; this is what. God's Holy Spirit is our Stepladder to tell us what we got. See?

L-172 See, an inheritance. Oh, my. Being... What kind of an inheritance?
...being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
When He was... Before He was a Papa, before He was God, before He was a Saviour, before He was a Healer, before all of this, He predestinated, put the Lamb's Name on the Book, looked down through by His foreknowledge and seen your name, put it on there too. What is it? And after while we come in the world, born of sinful parents; we walk around on the world, you know. First thing you know, like that little hook-nosed Jew, Paul, you know, and--and he was carrying out, and the first thing, Something said, "Here, here, here, here, here."
You say, "Oh, Abba, Father." Here we begin to come. See? Predestinated us to our inheritance in Him, which was predestinated to us; we--we inherited it before the foundation of the world. See? Oh. For His Own purpose to work out His Own good will (That's exactly.) to be a God and Saviour.
