<TITLE>17. Par 155-166</TITLE>L-155 There's three stages of Ruth. Ruth--Ruth, deciding, she was deciding whether she would make the decision or not, to go back into the homeland (just like the church): Ruth, serving, when she went out to glean. Ruth, resting, that's what Ruth is doing now (the church). Now, Ruth, rewarded, now that's what her next thing happened is the reward of the church.

L-156 Now, we're can't--don't have time, 'cause you got a baptismal service, and it's quarter after eleven now. But maybe we'll pick this up next Sunday or some other Sunday in the future, the Lord willing. And I'd like to take this down here to show these seven horns and seven eyes, and exactly those seven seals, seven ministries, seven angels of the church, seven stars, seven... Oh, it's so you...
And right here ties the whole thing together. Yes, sir. Had to be worthy, so Jesus was worthy. At His return we will fully enjoy all the fulness of redemption blessings. Meek shall inherit the earth. Men and women shall be back sons and daughters of God. And the complete millennium swing will begin. What a beautiful thing.

L-158 And the strong Angel with a loud voice, proclaiming, "Who is worthy? Who is able to do this?"
And then the elder said, "Don't weep, for the Lion of the tribe of Juda, He is worthy and He has overcome."
"And He took the Book, and opened the Book, and loosed the seals thereof." He never told what happened to them. When we hit them seven seals being opened right down through the Bible, watch what took place. Right in this seven-sealed Book that we're enter now, holds the whole mystery of all the redemption blessings of God. Remember, He is the Lamb; He's the only One that redeemed it. And, remember, it's sealed on the backside of the Book, not written within. It's sealed on the backside, and it's not written within. And He was the only One was able to even open the Book or to reveal the Book or to reveal the seals. It's the only One that could do it.

L-161 So this is one thing they might squabble about this in here, about what it is, but He's the One that Divinely interprets It. But on the backside here there's no one can do it. It belongs to Him and Him alone, and He's the One that can reveal those seven mysteries out. And watch here, every bit of it is on redemption, how the church was redeemed and what will be the redeemed.
Oh, let us just love Him with all of our hearts, do all that we can.

L-163 A certain writer was writing a story... Just before I close and turn the service back to Brother Neville. Do you enjoy Revelations? Oh, I just love it. We just got about three verses of it this morning, but we'll pick it up again. Notice, we just...
A writer was writing a book about a young girl that was trying to find God. So many times that we hunt for God and look for God, and if God was just everywhere and you had a great big... Well, if He had a great big throne setting up here somewhere, everybody would believe in God then. If God set up on a big throne here somewhere; say, "He sets in this certain city and here He is. This is God and you go to Him. He can just [Brother Branham snaps his fingers--Ed.] turn it like that," why, everybody would believe Him. Then faith would be void. We wouldn't have to have any faith at all then (See?); that would be it. That will be in the millennium, but now He's calling and trying to find out those who... It looks mysterious and dark, and you don't know how to do it. But by faith we believe it. We believe it. That's the reason this is. You understand that, Brother Elmer? (See?), that...

L-166 Now, if God set up on a throne... And said, "Why, here is... There... Here's God. He lives down a certain place; we'll go down there and say, 'Dear Sir, God, would You do it?'"
"Yes, I'll do it" [Brother Branham blows--Ed.]. It would be done. See? Well, of course, that's God. See? My, we can see that. So there wouldn't be no need of... Faith would be made void. faith's no good when you're positive.
