<TITLE>09. Par 29-31</TITLE>L-29 We go on over to Cain--to Esau and Jacob. God said that the foreknowledge, that the predestination of God might... Not that God wanted to condemn Esau, but knowing what he was... If God's God He knowed everything. He knowed every flea that ever been on the earth. He knowed every gnat would ever be on the earth before the earth was ever created, knowed how many times it'd bat his eyes and how much tallow he'd make if he's rendered out. He's infinite. Who can--who can say what infinite is? If He isn't infinite, then He isn't God. And if He was infinite, He knowed all things from the beginning. And so therefore, He could elect, not because He wanted to, but because His--His foreknowledge let Him know who would and who would not be. That's the reason the entire church, every person that'll ever be in the rapture, their name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world, says the Bible. That's right. God knew it.

L-30 Jesus came by the foreknowledge of God, that knowing that Jesus came to redeem, or buy back that church. The preachers is like going to the pond and throwing a net in and pulling it. The Kingdom of God is liken unto a man that take a net and went to the seashore. When he pulled it in he had--he had water spiders, snakes, serpents, frogs, and everything else, but he had fish. Now, we don't know which is and which is not fish; only thing we're supposed to do is seine.
And Brother Buntane has been seining here for a long time. I come out took my net and seine with you, Brother Buntane. I cast it out there and pull it in. Here they come up around the altar, stand up and make confession of Christ. I don't know which is goat, which is sheep, which is a spider, or frog, or whatever it is, but God knew before the foundation of the world which was. "All the Father has given Me will come to Me. And no man can come, except My Father draws him first. All the Father hath (past tense) given Me, will come to Me." That's right. He said it. Now, I don't know who it is; I just cast in the net and say, "Come all ye that weary and heavy laden." And then God knows which is which; I don't. Nobody else knows, it's just up to God. So it's our--our duty to keep carrying on until He comes.

L-31 Now, therefore the great church making itself ready. We find out that Esau and Jacob, before either child was born, God said He loved one and hated the other. And remember, they were twins: same mother, same father. Get it? Twins. Every revival produces twins. Certainly does. There's twins born in natural man and the spiritual man. It was back in the garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, the same thing. Started from there, just keeps coming on down.
And look at the church, Jesus the Pastor, Judas the treasurer, brothers, out of the same tribe, so forth, right in the same group, same church. One the Pastor, and the other one the treasurer. One a devil and one God. That's the way it goes. Jesus said, "In the last days the two spirits would be so close it would deceive the very elected if it was possible." Amen. If it was possible, but it isn't. And it... They'll never do it. All right.
