<TITLE>27. Par 191-197</TITLE>L-191 Watch His sevenfold Personage now of His Person, and you'll see that what He did.
His head... was white as snow;... (like wool, white hair)... and his eyes were as... (Let's see.)... His head... was white like snow; and his eyes were... flames of fire;
And his feet were like... fine brass, as been burnt into the furnace;
Watch now, we just noticed where He's covered, you know. Now, watch. His head, His eyes, now He goes down to His feet like brass. Watch the contrast to that image there that John saw of Jesus, and what Daniel saw of the world empire, the head of gold and so forth.
Look at what this was here, standing there, brass. What does brass speak of? Brass speaks of judgment, Divine judgment. It shows that His full purpose is coming here on earth as God to be made flesh, and He died for us and took the judgments of God, the Divine judgment, and has received a Kingdom that's brass, and solid, and it cannot be moved. Nothing harder than brass, they never found nothing yet that would temper it.

L-194 Judgment. Brass speaks of Divine judgment passed. Look at the brass serpent in the wilderness. What did that brass serpent represent? The serpent represented sin; but being brass, judgment already passed on sins.
Now, notice also the days of Elijah, when they had rejected Elijah as prophet, that little thread of the ancient church age. One of these days I'll bring up and show you Israel had seven church ages too, and typed exactly with these. And in their church age, in the days of Elijah, they refused him and there's three years and six months there was no rain. And the ancient prophet said that the skies looked like brass: Divine judgment upon the nations for rejecting God and listening to Jezebel.

L-196 Brass also represents Divine judgment at the altar where the sacrifice was killed, brazen altar. Killed... The very foundations was brass, the judgment. He tread the winepress of the fierceness of God and took our judgment upon Him.
Turn to Revelations 19:15, just a minute; let's see what He did. The Revelations 19 and 15, let's read just a moment if I can find it. Yeah, let's begin about the--let's see, about the 12th verse.
His eyes were... flames of fire, and on his head was crown, many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but... himself
And he was clothed with the vesture dipped in blood: and his name was called The Word of God... (Now, remember, His Name wasn't the Word of God, His Name was called that. See?)... his name was called The Word of God.
And the armies... of heaven... the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he shall tread... (What's that?)... tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God.

L-197 What did He do? The wrath of God was upon us for being sinners. Is that right? No one could save hisself. There's nothing we could do; we're all borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies. And what did He do? He came to the earth (Hallelujah.) and tread the winepress. All the wrath of Almighty God was poured out upon Him. "Thou art worthy, O Lamb of God, for You were slain." Taking the sins of the world upon Him, and He bore our sin, and God poured out the fierceness of His wrath upon Him. "And He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity; the chastisement of our peace upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed." Never a man died like that man. He suffered until the Blood and water separated in His body. And drops of Blood dropped out of His brow before His death.
... the winepress of the wrath of the fierceness of Almighty God.
