<TITLE>07. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 As we open back the lids of this Book... Any man physically able to pull back the lids, can do that, but it takes the Holy Spirit to open the Word. We read in the Bible that He that was setting on the throne had a Book. And It was sealed inside and out and sealed on the back. And there was no man in heaven, no man in earth, or beneath the earth was worthy, or able to take the Book from the hand of Him that set upon the throne. And there come a Lamb that had been slain since the foundation of the world. And He took the Book, loosed the seals thereof, and opened It.
O Lamb, come tonight in our midst, and take the Book, and open the Seals thereof, and loosen the Word to us. And feed it to us as our great Shepherd, and we Your sheep, so desiring sheep food. Grant it to us, Lord, for we know it is Thy Word. Thy Word is Truth.
We pray that the great Angel of God, the Angels up and down this aisle will convince every unbeliever tonight that they're wrong. And every man without the Holy Spirit, boy or girl, or a child, may they receive the Holy Spirit tonight.
Heal the sick and the afflicted; get glory to Thyself. And bless our feeble efforts as we offer our service. In the Name of Jesus Christ and for His glory we stand. Amen.

L-26 By the way of a text, I would like to take seven words from a--a certain verse in the Bible. And this of course was Jesus speaking on marriage and divorce. But I do not wish to approach it there. I just want the words for a purpose. It's found in the 19th chapter of Matthew and the 8th verse and the last seven words: "But It Wasn't So From The Beginning."
If you notice, every thing that we have today begin in Genesis. Genesis is the chapter of the beginning. "Genesis" means "the beginning." It's the seed chapter to the Bible. You can really take history, like Hislop's "Two Babylons" and different ancient writers and can almost trace the true church and the cults and everything today, right down from Genesis how it comes up; right from Cain and Abel, bring them right straight up: one, the worshipper and antichrist, and the other one representing the Christ and bring them to Calvary.

L-27 Many people sees only three crosses on Calvary. There was four. One of them was the thief on one side, the thief on the other side, Jesus in the middle. And Judas hung himself on the sycamore tree which is the cross. "Cursed is he that hangeth on the tree." And there was the Son of God, came from God, returning to God, taking with Him the repented sinner. The son of perdition coming from hell returning back to hell, taking with him the unrepented sinner.
And just about the time the Christ poured out His Holy Spirit, It had come on the scene, the antichrist come on the scene. Just about the time in this last days when the Holy Spirit begins to reveal Hisself, the antichrist reveals himself. And about the time the coming of Christ, the anti-spirit comes also; the antichrist spirit. So we see they work one with another. Jesus said, "So close till it would deceive the very elected if it was possible."

L-28 I different with our great famous Brother Billy Graham in his message the other day. He said that the antichrist has already deceived the elected. But I do not believe that, because it's not possible. They were elected and their names put on the Book of Life before the foundation of the world when the Lamb was slain. Now, who it is, I don't know. See? But the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world, and the antichrist will deceive all upon the earth who's names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life from the foundation of the world. So you see, we're pulling and seining to try to find where those people are that their name was put in the Lamb's Book of Life. All that He foreknew He called, those that knew... called, He justified. Those who He justified, He has already glorified.
