<TITLE>22. Par 158-163</TITLE>L-158 Irenaeus, yes, I had a note here on Irenaeus, about "read this history." That the reason Irenaeus was chosen is because that he had the signs of the Pentecostal original church following him.
Now, if God... How many believes that the church begin at Pentecost? All right. How many believes that God endorsed the church at Pentecost? All right, sir. Then if that was God's first church, and that's what He called a church, and He's the Vine now, we're the branches, if the Vine ever puts forth another branch, what will it be? Pentecostal. Yeah. Now, maybe not by name. Now, we got names of Pentecost, but that's no more than Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal. That don't mean a thing (See?); that's just a name. But as long as you got a Pentecostal experience in your heart, Pentecost in your soul giving you Eternal Life, then God has promised you that you'll never be touched with the second death; that you got eternal Life and can't be touched with the second death. See? You got... You're...
"Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God." Now, don't grieve It, do things that's wrong. If you do, you'll pay for it; 'cause the Bible said, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you are sealed until the day of your redemption." Is that right? "Grieve not the Holy Spirit."

L-161 Oh, it's going to be a wonderful day, some morn, some of these times. To show you that the resurrection's going to be universal, "There'll be two in a field, and I'll take one; and two in a bed, and I'll take one." See, it'll be a night one place and daylight on the other side of the earth; it be a universal resurrection, that rapture. The trumpet of God shall sound, and every one of these, of this little church here, here, here, and even that little bunch that went through there, and come out here, here, here.
When that virgin, that virgin when she seen in the seventh watch that... Now, remember, there were seven virgins. Is that right? I mean, five virgins went out... Ten virgins went out to meet the Lord; five was wise and five was foolish. Is that right? And now, in the watches though, there was seven watches. And at the end of the seventh watch... Some slept from this watch, this one, this one, this one, and that... The seventh watch, there was a voice went out, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him." And they rose and trimmed their lamps. And all these others rose down through here. Oh, won't that be a wonderful time.

L-163 Now, we used to sing a little song:
It's a wonderful time for you,
What a wonderful time for me;
If we all prepare to meet Jesus our King,
What a wonderful time it will be.
Here, let's see if we can sing that:
A wonderful time for you,
A wonderful time for me;
If we all prepare to meet Jesus our King,
What a wonderful time it will be. (Won't that be wonderful?)
O won't it be wonderful there,
Having no burdens to bear?
Joyously singing with heart-bells all ringing,
O won't it be wonderful there?
