<TITLE>07. Par 45-51</TITLE>L-45 How many of you heard Kennedy's--President Kennedy's speech, the comments and so forth? How many heard this prediction that by January the 1st it's predicted that both the United States and Russia will be volcanic ashes? That's all we need. It's later than we are thinking. See? So if we are so near to even men of this earth are predicting this tremendous thing to happen, we better be on the alert, everything right up to date, all confessions made, everything ready, 'cause we don't know just what time our Lord's going to summon us. And when He gives the summons, "Come up higher," you'd better be ready. It's going to come in the hour that you think not.

L-46 The great Pentecostal revival is now ceasing. We see it everywhere, the last great move. The Message has went forth. Everything's ready now, waiting. The Church is sealed away. The wicked are doing more wicked. Churches are becoming more churchy. The saints are coming closer to God. The gifts of the Spirit are begin to multiply in the little groups. We're at the end time. Oh, I love that song that we used to sing in the church.
I'm watching for the coming of that glad millennium day,
When our blessed Lord shall come and catch His waiting Bride away.
Oh, my heart is crying, thirsting for that day of sweet release,
When our Saviour shall come back to earth again.
Waiting for that hour...

L-47 Now, in the 5th chapter in the 5th verses, we find in our previous lesson that we talked of that Kinsman Redeemer, which we found out was Christ. Typed it up with Ruth: Ruth deciding, Ruth serving, Ruth resting. Deciding was justification; serving, making herself ready, sanctification. Resting was with the Holy Spirit until the wedding supper came. How beautiful.
The Church come through John Wesley, justification--or Martin Luther, justification; through John Wesley, sanctification; through the Pentecostal, baptism of the Holy Spirit; and now, resting, waiting for the coming of Her Lord. Perfectly.
Our Kinsman Redeemer, the elders was right when they called Him a Lamb about to become a Lion his judge. He was a Lamb, you know, with the seven sealed Book. When the Book was taken, the mediatorial work was finished.

L-50 Now, in the 3rd chapter the Church was gone up, but now redemption is to be revealed, how the Church was redeemed, the revelation of what taken place during the church age. See, the Church is gone. So He is now showing in the 5th chapter how He did it, what taken place, how He sealed the Church off: The revelation of His Name, water baptism using His Name, Eternal Life, no eternal hell, serpent's seed, eternal security; all the great doctrines, predestination of the Church that was revealed to the Church. He's showing how He done it.

L-51 Now, our Kinsman is handed the seven sealed Book of Redemption from the original Owner. Amen. Who was--we find was the original Owner? God Himself. "And the Lamb came and took the Book out of the right hand of Him that set upon a throne." Who was the Lamb? The Redeemer, our Kinsman Redeemer, the Kinsman to the Church Who come and redeemed Israel.
Now, we're going to get into that this morning. Israel was redeemed, but it was not applied to them, 'cause they rejected Him. But the Church received their redemption. And He is our Kinsman Redeemer. As Boaz had to redeem Naomi in order to get Ruth the Moabite, an alien, a Gentile, so Christ redeemed Israel, applied the redemption, and was rejected.
