<TITLE>15. Par 127-136</TITLE>L-127 He preached among his brethren for years. Many white people was converted under his ministry. One day the old fellow come down to die. He'd preached for thirty or forty years, or more. And when he come down to die, he was laying in the room, and many of his white brethren had gathered around in the room and they thought he was gone for about two or three hours. Then when he finally woke up and looked around in the room, he said...
"Where was you, Sambo?"
He said, "Oh, is I back here again? Is I back again?"
He said, "What's the matter, Sambo?"
Said, "Oh, I crossed over into the other land."
He said, "Tell us about it."
He said, "Well, I just come into His Presence." And said, "When I stood there," he said, "there was an Angel walked up, said, 'Is your name, Sambo So-and-so?'"
He said, "Yeah, sir, it is."
He said, "Come in."
"Walked inside, and I looked at Him setting there."
He said, "Sambo, come here now; after you've seen Him I want you to come out here, we want to give you your robe; we want to give you your harp; we want to give you your crown."
Sambo said, "Don't talk to me about harps, crowns, and robes."
Said, "But you've won a reward; we want to give you your reward."
Said, "Don't talk about me and about the rewards." Said, "Just let me stand and look at Him for a thousand years. That'll be my reward."
I think that's about the way we'd all feel, "Just let me stand and look at Him." Oh, I'll have to have a different body than I got now, every fiber of your being just to look at Him.

L-134 There John stood and seen Him setting on the throne, and He was to look like jasper and sardine stone. Now, all things and every word has a meaning in the Bible. Now, jasper and sardine stone...
Now, if you'll notice, it compares with the rest of the Scripture. In the back parts of the Scripture, He was Alpha, Omega, He was the Beginning and the Ending, He was the First and the Last, He was Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. He was All, and all was bundled in Him. Matthew 17 shows that, up in the Mount Transfiguration, it was all gathered in Him.

L-136 Now, jasper was a--was a stone, and sardine was a stone. (Now, we'll get to their colors after a bit.) Now, I want you to notice that each one of the patriarchs when they were born, yeah, every person has a birthstone. Mine, I was born in April: diamond. And different months represents different stones. Well, the patriarchs was the same. Every time that a patriarch, when he was born, he had a birthstone.
And just to stop right here just a moment. When them Hebrew mothers... Let me show you a Divine Word, friends, so that your faith will be built certain in the Word of God. Every time them Hebrew mothers, when they were in labor, giving labor pains to born--birth these children, the very words that she uttered in her birth give the man (the baby that was born of her) his name, and positionally placed him in Palestine where he'll be at the coming of the Lord. The labor pains in this mother... Like, "Ephraim" means "by the sea." See? And Ephraim was given his lot by the sea. And, say, Judah meant... I don't know what the word means, but I could pick it out. Now, see, that's where I don't have time, these short things, to pick those things up. But then go back, and Judah, wherever Judah means, meant's his position placed among the children of Israel.
