<TITLE>34. Par 305-310</TITLE>L-305 That's the reason (You see?), we got these six days that the world has labored in, and we're way up close to this seventh day now. The first two-thousand years God destroyed the water--the world with water. Second two-thousand years, Christ come. This is 1961, right at the door, just a little time. And look, Jesus said, "Now, it won't run all the way out," He said, "'cause I'll have to cut the work short. If I don't, the atomic bomb will destroy all flesh. (You see?) For the elect's sake I will cut the work short in righteousness, cut it off part of the time." See, then the thousand-years' millennium, the great day.
While the church has labored against sin for six thousand years, and the seventh thousand is the millennium. Like God made six thousand years to build the world, and the seventh thousand He rested from all of His works. And the church labors against sin for six thousand years, and the seventh thousand the church rests.

L-307 The white robes that was on the elders is the righteousness of the saints. The "white" means "righteousness." And because they were robed showed they were "priests or judges" white-robed, priests, judges, prophets, so forth (See?), what they were. They were white-robed, the twenty and four elders. There will be twenty and four elders. There'll be twelve of them for the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve apostles for the church.
And they set in the courts of the great King. Remember, they're setting out there, these are. And here is the Bride and Christ setting on His throne, and His Wife setting by Him, the church. The twenty and four elders... The hundred and forty-four thousand eunuchs of the temple ministering to Him. Where He gets up, His Wife goes with Him. Oh, oh, my. Through that great age that's coming, when all the sin and the resemblance of sin is...
All the big, fine buildings that people are so cherishing today, all the money and lust, and all the sin and beautiful women and men, whatever they try to make their body, something or other, to be a trap for the devil to send their souls into hell, will perish and rot, and skin worms will eat it up. And first thing, the skin worms... All that they ever was will just go into a volcanic fire to return back to nothing but fallout and now volcanic ash.

L-310 But one of these mornings, friend, one of these mornings, when that's all over, she'll bloom forth again. The fields with its whitening clover and the--the fragrance off of the rose will blend in with the blossom off of the Tree of Life, and Christ will return some morning. When the big birds, the doves, will set in the trees and coo, and there'll be no more death and no more sorrow. Christ and His redeemed will return to the earth, not old people, but young forever, immortal will stand in His likeness, the sun and the stars to outshine.
I'm bound for that beautiful city
My Lord has prepared for His own;
Where all the redeemed of all ages
Will sing "Glory" around the white throne.
Sometimes I get homesick for heaven
And the glory yet to behold;
What a joy that will be when my Saviour I see,
In that beautiful city of gold!
How I long to see Him. Oh, I want to see Him.
I'm bound for that beautiful City.
John saw it on the Isle of Patmos, coming down as a Bride adorned for her husband.
The glory of it I want to behold someday.
I want to see Him, and look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of glory let me lift my voice;
Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.
