<TITLE>08. Par 48-53</TITLE>L-48 Now, and it said in there, "At that time, there'd be a great woman stand up in the United States." And she was dressed and beautiful, but she was cruel in heart. And I got a parenthesis on the vision, even yellow paper, said, "perhaps the Catholic church." And the women being permitted to vote would help elect the wrong person for this nation. And that's what they done. Exactly. Now, said, "That would be the beginning."
Now, another thing it said, that... Then immediately after that, I saw this nation become as a smolter, just blowed to bits. Now, if them things has happened, so will this other. We're at... That's the reason I'm here tonight trying to bring this and set it to this people at Jeffersonville, 'cause I'm fixing to enter the mission fields pretty soon again, and don't know what time that I may be called away or caught away. I--I... We don't know that. And I want to be sure that I'm--let the church know the hour they're living, 'cause Almighty God will hold me responsible for it.

L-50 Now, now, each one of these churches, according to the Scripture there, had an angel. And the angel was a... How many knows what an "angel" means? It's a "messenger," a messenger. And there--there was seven angels to the seven churches, meant "seven messengers." Now, and they was stars in His hand. And in His hand these--these twelve--these seven stars that was to reflect the Light of His Presence in the day of night that we were living in, as the stars reflects the sun to the earth, makes it light so we can walk, and get around at nighttime.
Now, we find out then, that during this time, that each one of those angels had a position and place. And, brethren, tonight we don't get to it, because we know this angel of the first church, but it's going to be a mysterious and glorious thing to find and pull out of history before you, the angels of these other churches. The angel of the first church was Saint Paul; he founded it, God's messenger. The angel of the church of Ephesus was Saint Paul. The church... Now, the reason I...

L-52 Now, these others you might disagree, but I've set there for days and days under inspiration till I felt the Holy Spirit strike me and anoint me for it. That's the reason I know. And watch these men that has been picked, if you're a historian, they... The same men that I have got here, and know by revelation that they was the angels to the church, they had the same ministry that these did at the beginning. And that ministry cannot change; it must stay Pentecost all the way through.

L-53 Now, historians setting here is going to disagree with me on this man; but on the church of Smyrna, Irenaeus is who I know that was the angel of that day. Polycarp, many of you will say it was Polycarp, rather, you'd say it was him. But Polycarp leaned more to the organization and to the Catholic coming-on religion. But Irenaeus was a man that spoke in tongues, and had the power of God, and signs followed him. That's it. He was God's angel light, and he pulled the Light on over after Polycarp had been crucified or murdered, assassinated, then Irenaeus was one of his students, and Polycarp was a student to Saint Paul--or Saint John. And then Irenaeus taken his place, and he brought the light.
