<TITLE>19. Par 139-146</TITLE>L-139 Now, the 5th verse, I believe:
He that has an ear, let him...
Let's see now.
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before the angels.
Now, "the few names..." Very few, small remnant was left that didn't take on the--take--was took over by the Catholic doctrine. All right.

L-141 Now, we come to speak of the reformation. I'd like to... I left off Luther's background so that I could get it in here. Now, the next verse said:
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
God, trying to warn them here to stay out of this Nicolaitanism, stay away from there, keep their garments unspotted from any things of the world, just stay free in Him, and He would lead them and guide them. Now, that's the first beginning.

L-143 Now, by reformation I mean the escaped ones, the ones that had escaped even in the Sardis church, or... Do you understand what I mean? The ones that still had escaped that horrible thing... Now, now, we'll pick it up again tomorrow night and bring it right on down here in the--into the Pentecostal age, and show you that's exactly it. Now, there's some of these things, that we talk of here, of how did they escape it. Now, we'll pick that up down in the next age. See, we have to pick it up to make it go together. If you don't, then you--you--you--you miss giving the--the people--nailing it down in that next age. You see? You've got to let them have it just as the Bible gives it here. See? All right.

L-144 Now, the escaped ones is the one He's talking about. That's these right here, this little bitty group here that's living by justification. Now, look. They come out; they seen the Light; Luther turned right... And after the death of Luther, not Luther; Luther never made no organization; it was that bunch after him. Wesley never made no organization; it was that group after him. Them old founders of Pentecost never made an organization; it was the group after them. That's the one that does it (See?); it's the second round that does it. The real angel of Light will never make an organization. You'll find out on this--on this Pentecostal age what comes at the end of that organization too (See?) when the Holy Spirit reveals it to us.

L-145 Now, He said, "You've got a little bit of life left, just a little bit. It's ready to die; it's dwindling; it's just justification. They can swing you any way. You haven't got any Life yet, because you took the wrong name. But you're--you're at least you've been snatched out. See, you are... You--you've escaped the Roman church. You've escaped all that dogma, and you've at least come out that far." Now, you're reading the same Bible. Now, but the same Bible that teaches the Holy Spirit... He never condemned them for what they had. "Just hold on to that till I come. See, just keep holding on."

L-146 Now, the church age begin about 1520, when the Roman universal Catholic church had full swing. That lasted until October the thirty-first (if you're all putting it down), October the thirty-first, 1570 A.D., when Martin Luther nailed his ninety-fifth thesis on the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, and from that time the Reformation was on. Did you get those dates? Let me get it again so you'd be sure: October the thirty-first, 1570 A.D., when Martin Luther nailed his ninety-fifth thesis on the church door at Wittenberg, W-i-t-t-e-n-b-u-r-g, Wittenberg, Germany. From that date the Reformation set in; the fire begin to fly. He protested that Catholic church standing there, that ink pen like that, he said, "This be the holy body of Christ? It's a wafer and a little wine." And whammy, he throwed it on the floor. That's right.
