<TITLE>31. Par 282-288</TITLE>L-282 What if Jesus would've come to earth and said, "I'm Jesus, I'm the Son of God," never done nothing, just say "I--I'll going up here and join the church"? Would that have been the Son of God?
What did He say? "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me."
Oh, my. Do you see? God declares Himself; He loves to. He's Jehovah. He likes to make Hisself known. Oh, I'm so glad of it. Yes, sir. He's made Hisself known to me; I know He has to you. Some of you young people just converted, yet you don't--might not know Him in the power and great things that the older Christians do, but you're coming right on into it. You're coming right up the King's highway, Don't... Just keep looking and pressing just hard as you can. Run, run and run just as hard as you can. Don't stop for nothing; just keep on going.
Like poor old Sister Snelling used to say:
I'm running, running, running, I just got over;
Running, running, running, I just got over;
Running, running, running, and you can't set down. (Poor old soul, she's over there today)

L-286 All right, now, and there were--there were thrones and there--there's twen... There were four and twenty seats. Now, how many would that be, four and twenty? Twenty-four. All right:
... four and twenty seats: and upon the seat... upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders... (one on a seat),... clothed with white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
Now, "the twenty and four elders." I want you to notice they were not angelic beings. Angels are not associated, heavenly beings are not associated with crowns and thrones. See, they're never associated; they're Angels; they never did overcome. If you notice a little later on, the songs that they sang, and things, proved that they wasn't. See? They sung the song of redemption; so Angels don't need to be redeemed. See? All right, But they're--they were redeemed men.

L-288 I'm... You people, I ain't going to have time to catch this. But you that's writing down, if you want to know they were redeemed men, take Matthew 19:28. All right, 19:28, Matthew. Revelations 3:21, then...?... Revelation 20:4, Revelations 2:10, I Peter 5:2 and 4, II Timothy 4:8, that'll let you know that they are redeemed. I wanted to go through that this morning. You see? And you just comb it for weeks. You see? They were not--they were not Angelic Beings; they were not heavenly Beings. They were redeemed men. See? You can consider their dress, the way they were dressed; you can consider their position, what they had; you consider their songs, what they sang; and know that they were not Angelic Beings. Hm.
