<TITLE>34. Par 312-321</TITLE>L-312 The hidden manna, a little something special. What is the special? Not something to... The blessings of the Holy Ghost? Oh, no, that's for the whole congregation. But the hidden manna was a special revelation, 'cause he had to teach the others. See? Was a little more knowledge of the Scripture, that he could teach others. He's supposed to be. Is that right? You'll never live no higher than your pastor. You just remember that. See? And so... 'Cause he's the shepherd that feeds you. If he's the shepherd, he's got to know where the manna is, to feed the--the sheep. Is that right? Now, a little special... And watch this just a minute, the revelation, the hidden manna.

L-313 Now, white rock, he shall have a white rock, this angel shall have. A white stone, that's a rock, isn't it? And a... That's right, purity.
He--He met a man one time and his name was Simon, and He changed his name to Rock, "Peter." Why? He had the keys. Is that right? He changed his name and made him a rock. Is that right? Peter had the keys, because he was the one who had the keys to the Kingdom.
"A new name, a new name written in this rock that nobody knows but he himself." He knows who he is, but he can't tell others. See, see? No one knows but himself. See? Peter knows he had the keys, but you didn't hear him bragging about it. See? These guys who brag about what they are is usually nothing. "A white rock, and in it a new name," not his own name, but he's somebody else (See?) that only he himself knows (he that's got the rock, the name). See, special manna to feed the church, remember.

L-316 Remember when this taken place to this church; it was the same age, the same time that This was revealed that the Nicolaitanes had set themself up a head of their church, a pope, and give him a white rock altar below, beneath him, a marble altar (Is that right?) and inlaid it with studs, and things like that, which was precious to him.
But this angel of the Lord knowed who he was, a son of God, through--through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
And when--when the Nicolaitanes set up their leader and put a marble stone at his feet (See?), God set up His Spirit-filled leader for His Spirit-filled group: His angels; and it set upon him a seal of a name, but he mustn't reveal it. He must keep it to himself. See? "No man knows but himself."
"Hidden manna, a stone, a new name that no man knows but he himself," and it was addressed to the angel of the church. I wonder if Luther knowed that? I wonder if Wesley knowed it? I wonder if--if the other great angels?

L-320 And I wonder today, if in... Coming in the world soon, the great angel of Light that'll come to us, that'll lead us out, a great Holy Spirit come in power, and will lead us to the Lord Jesus Christ. He probably won't know it, but he'll be here some of these days. He'll make... God will make him known. He won't have to make himself known; God will make him known. God will prove His own. That's what He said when Jesus was here and they didn't know Him. See? He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me; but if I do the works of My Father, and you can't believe Me, then believe the works." Is that right?

L-321 Oh, isn't He wonderful. The Book of Revelation... Now, you see where the churches is? See how they're crowded out? See how the church went out here? Now, this is the age we're coming to tomorrow night, the Lord willing.
Now, I'm sorry that I kept you so long, but I--I--I hope that you--you'll learn something. And taking down the notes, that when... I have some more here, about three or four more pages, but I just haven't got time to get to it. And 'cause it's getting late, and it's about seventeen minutes now until. But we'll put it in the book, anyhow, and so we'll--we'll--we'll have it.
