<TITLE>20. Par 174-184</TITLE>L-174 Now, notice. Oh. He finished His work in earth, and He's took His church, and now He sends the judgment. The world rejected Him, and He send His judgment. He and His church has gone to glory.
John, there on the Isle of Pat... Patmos, a revelator to the church, has been the type of the church which is lifted up into glory, "Come up hither." Showing...
You say, "He represented the church?"
To everyone that hears this Word, John represented him. Amen John was the representative of the Blood of Jesus Christ, testimony of the Word. He was a witness of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, with a personal fellowship with Christ, and he represented the entire church; that, every man or woman, boy or girl that ever believed in Christ and accept Him on the same grounds, he'll be summoned someday, "Come up hither," and be caught up before the tribulation. Remember, the tribulation time hasn't set in yet.
This is being the time of setting of the judgment. John is being showed now what's going to take place after the church age. See? So it was.

L-178 Now, notice again in the 3rd verse, or 2nd, "A throne set in heaven, and One set on the throne." Now, the same Spirit that was in the earth, had left and had gone to glory, and was setting... The same Jesus that's with us tonight in mercy was gone to glory and setting on the throne.
And he that set on the throne was to look upon as jasper and... sardine stone: and there was a rainbow around about the throne, in the sight like unto an emerald.

L-179 I'm going to quit, 'cause there's other brothers to preach. Maybe I'll pick this up in the morning right here. And so, "to look upon as an emerald." Oh, my. Oh.
There are people almost everywhere,
Whose hearts are all on flame (Don't you love that?)
... fire that fell on Pentecost,
That cleansed and made them clean;
Oh, it's burning now within my heart,
Glory to His Name!
I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.

L-180 John, called and summoned by the Lord Jesus, promised by God back there that he'd see the coming of the Son of man. Peter, James, and John, and them standing present, when Jesus spoke to them and said, "There's some standing here will not taste of death until they see the Son of man coming." He didn't say "all" that was standing there, but "some." And they went a few days after that, and saw the order of the resurrection rehearsed, and the coming of the Lord.
Elijah represented the dead saints--I mean Moses, and being resurrected. Elijah represented the translated. But remember, Moses was first, and then Elijah. Elijah was to be the messenger of the last day, that with him and his group would come the resurrection; would come the... Well, it would come the rapture, I mean. Moses brought in the resurrection, and Elijah brought in the raptured group. And there, both of them was represented right there.

L-182 And after while they noticed then, and they seen, and Peter said, "Let's build three tabernacles. Let some go under the law, and let some go under Elijah, and let's go (some of them) this way."
And while they were yet speaking, a voice spoke and said, "This is My beloved Son; hear ye Him." And when they looked, they seen Jesus only, everything had wilted into One. Oh, and He was the Light, the Truth, the Way, the Door, the Rainbow.

L-184 Oh, tomorrow we got a great lesson, the Lord willing. Tomorrow we take the judgments; we take the sardine stone, see what it represents, what part it played. And we take the--the--the jasper, and we take the--oh, all the different stones, and we take these all down through Ezekiel, back into Genesis, back over to Revelations, come down in the middle of the Bible, tie it together, these different stones and colors, and so forth. And then we bring it right straight back to that and see if that ain't right. See? See if it ain't the same color and everything, just the same thing. And the same Holy Spirit, the same God, showing the same signs, same wonders, doing the same thing just as He promised...
