<TITLE>34. Par 246-251</TITLE>L-246 All right. "Sun shining in its strength," His countenances, transformed, transfigured. Now, another thing, in Revelations 21:23, if you want to put it down, in the New Jerusalem (21:23), He is the Lamb that's in the city that's the Light thereof shining; for they needed no light in the city; the sun shall not rise in it, because the Lamb which is in the midst of the city shall be the Light thereof. And the nations that's saved shall walk in the Light of the Lamb. Amen. He is the Lamb's Light. Oh, aren't you happy about that?
Not only that, but He's also in the coming (John saw Him in the Lord's day.), the Sun of righteousness. Let's go to Malachi, Malachi, the last prophet of the Old Testament, Malachi the 4th chapter.

L-248 Got a little story to say about my precious wife setting back there. I gave her a rough time before we was married; I've tried to make up for it after we was married. And I didn't know whether I wanted to be married again or not, and so she got all broke up. And I thought she was too good a girl just to leave go, let some good man marry her that'd take care of her. I thought I even wasn't worthy of it; and I am not, of her kindness, anyhow. So she was all tore up and didn't know what to do. This has been years ago, about twenty years ago. She got so tore up, she started crying day and night. And I was trying to break away from her, not because I didn't love her, because I didn't want to take her time; 'cause, let her find somebody, some good person, 'cause she's too good a girl just to let go like that, and me take--and just go with her and things like that. And I--I thought she loved me, and I knowed I loved her. So then I thought, "Well, I'll just try to... I'll get a date with some other girl, and go out, and make her feel bad about me." I liked to killed her; I hated it awful bad afterwards; she got all broke up. I told her. I said, "You're too good a girl. I--I don't want to take your time like that."
And she said, "But I--I just love you, Bill, and that's the only one I can love." Said, "I--I've always loved you."
I said, I--I appreciate that. But I said, "You know," I said, "I'm a hermit." I said, "I'm--I'm just going to live like a hermit. See, I--I ain't going to get married at all."

L-251 And she was so set on it, you know, poor little fellow. And she went out to the shed. And she got out there, and she got down on her knees, and she said, "Lord, I don't know what to do. I--I don't want to disobey You, and yet I love Bill. And I don't know what to do. Lord, will You just give me a little bit of consolation? Will You just help me a little bit? I never did ask You this before in my life, Lord, and I hope I never have to ask You again," she said, "but if You'll just help me, and let me open up this Bible, and You give me a Scripture. I've heard people say You did that." And when she opened it up, it was Malachi 4.
Behold, I give unto... or send unto you Elijah the prophet before the... that terrible day of the LORD.
She said, "I got up from there just as well satisfied that we was going to get married as anything." See?
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea,... all they that do wicked, shall be stubbles: and the day cometh that shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
But unto you that fear my name... the Sun... (S-u-n)... Sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in his wings;...
