<TITLE>10. Par 62-68</TITLE>L-62 I remember, Tulsa, Oklahoma, I was... Oh, I was getting in a awful mess there, them denominations begin swinging around there. And I was setting in this building one day, and I seen a--a vision. I seen a--a little, pretty, little old kitten, and he was laying on a silk pillow, and he was the cutest little fellow. And I walked over there (and I'm afraid of a cat), and I went over and I begin to rake him, and he was going, "purr, purr." You know how they do that, make a funny noise, you know. And I was raking him, I said, "Pretty, little kitty." And he said, "purr," just as fine, you know.
And I looked over behind his pillow, it said, "Pentecostal kitten." Well, I thought, "Now, isn't that strange. Now, this has got to be a vision."
And Something said, "As long as you rake his fur this way, all right; but now, if you want to see what he's made out of, rake his fur backwards." See? So when I raked his fur back, them eyes stuck out, green, and he was a monster standing there spitting at me as hard as he could (See?), just rake his fur back a little bit. Tell him his baptism in Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is of the devil and of the Catholic church, watch what happens to him. See, it stirs it up.
I come down and said to Brother Gene and them, down in hall, Brother Leo and them, I said, "I sure had a real vision of Pentecostal denominations then."

L-66 Now, the 3rd chapter, let's first... Sardis is a dead church. It's dead because it got killed during this time. Just a little stretch of Life, we'll find out in a few minutes what it was, just in a little bit. From 1520 to 1750 was this Sardis age. And the star, or the angel of... The star that was in His hand, which was the angel or the messenger of that church age... Is that clearly understood that the star was a angel, and a angel is a messenger to that age? All right. All right.

L-67 Now, we have finished with the Nicene Council. She died back in there, and all come into power and glory, church and state united. And can anyone remember what the lesson said last night, what many of those people thought? The millennium was on. And all the... Bringing in the millennium without the coming of Christ. See? The coming of Christ issues in the millennium, first thing.
And in those days they had... If you take the history, you find out they had false Jesuses rise up and everything else. See? And they even thought that the pope was Jesus, calling him a vicar, "instead of the Son of God." Yes, big holy god, like, setting there.

L-68 Let me tell you something. The Bible says that when Jesus comes, before He comes there would rise false prophets, and there'd rise false Jesuses. That's right. "Lo, here..." But let me just drop this into your heart: there will never be a Jesus set a foot on this earth until the church done raptured and gone. Now, just bear that in mind, 'cause there'll be false christs rise up. But Jesus will not be here on earth; 'cause the trumpet sounds, and He never comes; we meet Him in the air (the church is already gone). And then when Jesus appears, it'll be the returning back. The Gentiles goes to meet Him in the air. That Scripture? See? They go to meet Him in the air, and then we go up. And Jesus is--never puts His feet on the earth until the church has been raptured and took home and the wedding supper's over in heaven, and then He--then He returns back after the Jewish remnant.
