<TITLE>11. Par 92-100</TITLE>L-92 So, you see, she appears again now in Revelations 19.
After these things... (After he had seen the church age)... After these things I looked, and, behold, a door...
Now, remember, John is still on Patmos. And after he'd seen all the church ages go through:
... I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven:...
"A Door." What is the Door? Revelations 3:8--in Revelations, the 3rd chapter and the 8th verse, "I know Thy works. Behold, I have set before thee an open Door that no man can shut it, can shut and no man can open." He is the Door, the Door; Christ is the Door. He said, in Saint John 10, "I am the Door to the sheepfold."
And in the old country, you find that a shepherd runs in his sheep. After he counts them and sees they're all in, then he lays down right in the door. The wolf can't come in without waking him up, or his sheep can't go out without coming over him. Oh, how safely the sheep feel because the shepherd's laid down in the door.
Noah, in the Old Testament, stood in the door of the ark. Oh, listen, going to say something. He stood in the door and preached repentance and righteousness to the people that laughed at him. And in that same door that he stood in, no man could come into the ark except by that one door. Wasn't but one door in the ark.

L-97 And there's only one Way. All right, Brother Stricker. There's only one Way that goes into the body of Christ. There's only one Door to the church of the living God, and Jesus is that Door. "I am the Door. I am the Way," the road that leads to the Door. "I am the Door to the sheepfold."
He said to this church age, "I've set before you an open Door." He said that to the Methodist church age; they turned away from It, went in organization. "But I've set before you an open Door." Now, after they'd received sanctification, He said, "I'll put the open Door," which is the Holy Spirit. "By one Spirit we are all (How?) baptized into one body which is Christ." He set that message before the Methodist church and they turned aside from it. They come up to sanctification and refused the Holy Ghost. Remember that? That open Door...
How do you get into Christ? By one Spirit, Holy Spirit, which is Christ's Spirit. We enter in, not by handshaking, not by sprinkling, but by one Holy Ghost baptism we are all baptized into one body and made partakers of that body. One Holy Ghost baptism into that Door.

L-100 This Door set in heaven, that Door, when he looked up he saw the Lord Jesus. Just watch the following part of it: that Door, the Lord Jesus.
I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice... I heard was... a voice of a trumpet...
Now, the scene is changing. John's been watching Patmos, and now he looks up. Why? He sees something went on on earth here (these church ages), all down the seven church ages, and then after he got through seeing the church ages, after that, after the church ages had ceased, he heard a voice. And he looked up towards heaven and he seen an open Door, and the first voice sounded like a trumpet. All right, scene changed from Patmos to heaven.
