<TITLE>22. Par 197-203</TITLE>L-197 How do we come? We've got to come (this Gentile church) to this Word, sea of glass, water, water of the Word (Is that right?), recognize the Word the way It's written. Then the sacrifice is received and filled with the Holy Ghost from the inside, shining through, the Light of that age. From this... Here it comes out of the holy place into here, out of the star into here. Get it?
Notice. Now, at the end of this age, John when he saw the sea of brass there, it was clear as crystal. What was it? The Word had been taken from the earth, raptured in the church, and it was clear as crystal, no more Blood; the church age was over.

L-199 Now, in Revelations 15, the remnant of the woman's seed, which was the tribulation saints that went through the tribulation was found (Look.) standing on this sea. And it was filled with fire, blood, red blazes licking forth, the fire of God. They had gotten the victory over the beast (Rome), over his number, over the letter of his name, and over his image (the Confederation of Churches), and had come out. And through the preaching of Moses and Elijah, those two prophets that will appear to Israel to pull out the--this group of people, those tribulation period saints, back in that time that'll be brought in would...
See, the church is done raptured now, but remember the Wife is on the throne. The tribulation period... Lived in the kingdoms, out, and brought all of their kings and their honor and glory into the city. As we get down into Revelation 22, you'll see it. If you're writing this out and holding it, when we get to it you'll see what we mean. We haven't got time to just catch every little thing and run it back and forth, but hit the high spots of it. Then someday, maybe, the Lord willing, we'll have a lot of time to talk of it.

L-201 Now, these tribulation period saints that come up, had went through great tribulation... The church will not go through the tribulation. Do you see they was already in glory? And here's the tribulation saints, the sanctified ones that had... Being it's mine and your fault they had never heard the Word. If they heard It and rejected It, they went on to hell; they was cast out into outer darkness because they rejected the Word. But if they would never heard It, God's just; tribulation period comes to them.
Now, notice just a minute, saints washed by the same Word, 'cause it's the same altar; it's the same sea of glass and the same Word. Revelations 2:5, Revelations 15 (or rather) 2 to 5. Now, notice, just a minute. Now, we never took the Word to them; that's the reason they was--they was like that. We never took the Word to them; we're going to be held responsible. So we'll not be able to catch all the people, the church won't in this age, that's got the truth. Because they'll go through the tribulation; they're not the saints that died way back yonder in them church ages, because he said, "They come up out of the great tribulation," and the great tribulation's yet future, after the church goes home.

L-203 Oh, there you are. Oh, I love it. Listen. Let's go a little farther; I want to see what kind of Word they heard. Now, let's start again on the 2nd verse of the 15th chapter.
And I saw as it was a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast,... over his image,... over his mark,... over the number of his name, stood on the sea of glass, having... harps of God.
Now, see, they never entered in, but they'd heard the Word. They heard the Word. Now, listen, see what kind of doctrine they heard, see if it compares with the churches now.
And they sang the song of Moses the servant of God... (That's after Moses had crossed over.), and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty;... (Who is that Lamb? Lord God Almighty.)... just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
See what they recognized Him to be? Not no third person in a trinity but the Lord God Almighty, the King of Saints.
