<TITLE>07. Par 55-63</TITLE>L-55 And can anything happen to a Christian without it's for the best? No, nope. So what did God get him out there alone on the island for? Give us this Book of Revelation. See, God just can pull the wool over the devil's eyes any time He wants to, can't He? He just simply can. I just love Him. Because I don't have to be smart. See? I--I... If I was smart, I'd probably forget all about it, 'cause I know no one could be as smart as Him. And so I--I just... Whatever I got, I surrender myself to Him and just do what He says do. That's all. Sometimes it's very contrary to the way I think it is. But I know, if He's leading it, He's smart. He knows what He's doing; I don't. So I just let Him do it (You see?), and then it's just all right. See? I just let Him do it. That's it, Brother Neville. Yes, sir, just let Him do it. See? He's the One knows what He's doing; I don't. See? So I just don't try to have any great big flowers and things, and just humble myself and say, "Here I am, Father, any time You want me." So just go right on like that, and it always comes out right.

L-56 So John, we wouldn't have had a--a Book of Revelations if it hadn't have been for John, and John hadn't went out on the isle. That was God's way of giving us the Book of Revelation. He was out there, I think, about three years, and on the Book, wrote the Book of Revelations.
Now, then we leave him at the last of the invitation in the 22nd verse of the 3rd chapter, "He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."

L-58 Now, begin the 4th chapter.
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was open in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was--was as it were... a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.
We're going to take It verse by verse. And I've got a lot of Scriptures wrote down here, a--a book of them, and I don't know how far we get into It. May the Lord lead us. Now, watch, the Word is:
After these things... (after the church age)...
And all this from hereafter now, will be pertaining, will take place on earth after the rapture of the church. See, after the rapture. This is going back now to pick up Israel. After the church age, after the ages of the church, and they... The church never appears again until Revelation the 19th chapter when she returns with Her Bridegroom. Praise God for the wedding.

L-61 Let's just read that. Would you like to read these Scriptures as we go through? All right. Let's turn to Revelations 19. All right, sir, Revelations 19. Let's begin at the 7th verse, Revelations 19. This is when the church appears again, never appears again till over in the 19th chapter.
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.
Oh, I--I could preach on that till midnight and not half tell it. Look, "His wife has made Herself ready."

L-63 Charlie, Nellie, and you all, just what we was talking, down there, and Rodney, the other day... See? When Elisha throwed that garment upon Elijah... Or Elijah put it upon Elisha; he reached back and took it off again, put it on himself and walked with it on him till he crossed Jordan, and went on the mountain, and got up in the chariot, dropped it back.
When a Christian's first saved, his face is turned towards Christ, then He's got something to do himself. He has to, next thing, sanctify himself from all unclean habits, laying aside every weight, making herself ready. The Bride has made Herself ready.
