<TITLE>05. Par 25-32</TITLE>L-25 Someone was saying last night about... I believe it was Brother Fred that called me up and said about the--the vision or the dream that some brother had, that told it just before leaving last night, seen standing on the arch of the earth and a black cloud rolling after. I know he's after me. But that... Just as long... He--he won't be able to do it until God is finished, and then--then I--I... It's time for me to go then. So...
But I--I think of this could never be great. No, I don't want to be. See? But I think of "The Psalm of Life."
Lives of great men all remind us (See, what Paul did, what Irenaeus did, what Luther did, what Wesley did, or what Saint Martin did, and what they did...)
And lives of great men all remind us
That we can make our lives sublime,
With partings, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
While sailing over life's solemn main,
(For after I'm gone. See? and gone on) Some forlorn and shipwrecked brother (pick up one of these books to read),
In seeing, shall take heart again. (That's it.)
Let us be up, then, and doing;
With a heart for any... strife, (I like that, don't you?)
Be not like dumb, driven cattle (have to be drove to it);
But be a hero in the strife! (I--I like that.)

L-27 Now, our little Brother George used to have that one he liked, I had it at his funeral service. We've used... I'd set and quote "The Psalm of Life," you know, and he'd set and quote "Crossing the Bar." See? You've heard that.
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning at the bar,
When I put out to sea. (You've heard it many times.)
For all without is moved with time and space,
The floods may bear me far,
But I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I've crossed the bar. (I'm sure he did when he crossed the bar.)
And so, and mine is:
Partings leave behind me
Footprints on the sands of time,
So others, seeing, can come along,
Take heart and keep going.
For, some great day Jesus will come; and that's what we're going to study about this morning; it'll all be over then.

L-30 Now, I thought this morning, in order that we're not going to be able in these church messages... Now, maybe, if the Lord willing, soon I might have another little series of meetings upon the true and false church, all the way from Genesis, take it through the Bible and sweep it right down through Revelations: the both churches, just what they're going to do. And then maybe someday when we, if the Lord willing, we get the church built so we can have a little more seating room... You'd be surprised how many's called in and said like that; they just drive by, and it's all filled up, so they just go on. See? And so they... We don't have the room.
And maybe like some... In the summertime when it's hot weather or something, where we'd get the high school gym or something, it'd be nice to take the Book of Revelations then, or something, or the Book of Daniel and Revelations, and tie it together so we could have it.

L-32 Now, we never got to deal with the Jewish people. The Jews were...
Now, as I said, in the--in the dark age of 1500, the Catholic hierarchy, when they was establishing, united church and state together, that was the postmillennium. They thought that they were--they were absolutely in the millennium, because the church had received its vicar, one like Christ to set on a throne. And it was united with the church and state; all had become well, and that the great millennium was on. They still believe that. But that's an error, because the millennium can't come, can't be issued in without the coming of Christ.
Christ brings in the millennium; He's the Son of prosperity. And when He comes, then will be a thousand years. And when it is, there'll be the rapture of the church will go up, and then the return of Christ. And remember now, when... What's the next thing we're looking for? The rapture of the church.
