<TITLE>13. Par 128-136</TITLE>L-128 All right, how the Lord said now in the end of that age, "I am the Door to the sheepfold." Now, what door was opened about Jesus, just between these two ages? 1906, about when the Methodist age and--and--and Dwight Moody and them faded from the scene, there come forth a break forth of the people receiving the Holy Ghost, speaking with tongues and things come back into the church. That's about right in about 1906, along in there.
All right, what took place then? After that begin to come along, the first thing you know, they organized the old General Council which went in, now called the Assemblies of God (See?), out of that church that was lapped over. And what taken place then? He set an open door, an open door.

L-130 Now, let's just read it, and I'll catch it word by word just the way He brings it. See, "Behold..." Let's see:
... no man shutteth;...
... set before thee an open door,...
It's on the other side.
I know Thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:...
"A open door," what was it? It was the revelation of the supreme Deity of Jesus Christ, not being a second person of a trinity, but being God Himself made flesh and dwelling among us. And the revelation...
Now, if you notice, just in a minute, let's just read just a little bit farther.
... shut it:... and has a little strength,... and has not denied my name.
The first time the Name's been spoke of now since back in this age back here, lost its Name; and Luther come out with a name that he was alive and was dead (Is that right?), Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Here comes out the Name of Jesus again in between these two ages here, in between: the open door. Now, it's a revelation what He was, the Deity, the revelations of His Deity.

L-135 Now, that's what He revealed at the very first church age. Now, watch. As John saw him standing, the seven golden candlesticks, He was standing with His hands out. Here's the first candlestick, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, with His hands out in the form of the cross. He said, "I am Alpha and Omega." In other words, "I'll be supreme in the first; I'll be supreme in the last."
The Lights rises in the east and sets in the west. It's been a dismal, dark time, but "It shall be Light in the evening time." The same Gospel power that raised up here on the one hand at the east, has shined over and now in the other hand at the west, "Alpha and Omega, I'm A and I am Z." In His hand... You get it?

L-136 Now, what did He do in the 1st chapter of Revelations? He revealed His supreme Deity to the first church: Ephesus. Is that right? But, now notice. Every one of these churches coming down through here, He revealed Himself in Deity only in His glorified form; but on this last one, He become Z, back to the original beginning again (See?), "The First and the Last." The first age, now the last age, for He said, "I am the First and the Last." And...
But you say, "How did that happen? What fellow put that forth?" It was a revelation. Many of you here has received it, 'cause His en... I'm going to say something now. Look. His entire church is built upon Divine revelations of Himself. Is that right? If you don't believe that, let's turn to Matthew 16:18; you'll see just in a minute that the whole revelation is built upon Himself; His whole church is built upon the revelations of Himself.
Now, let's begin here at the... Let's begin, I'd say, about the 14th verse.
Then they said, Some say... thou art John the Baptist:... (The--the question was...)
... Jesus, said on... the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, and asked his disciples, saying, Who, do man say... I the Son of man am?... (13th verse, and that's 16:13 now.)
And they said,...
