<TITLE>15. Par 105-109</TITLE>L-105 Now, we find out, that down through these ages, we had the Holy Spirit come in, and then God, back in the beginning, begin to tell then at the rejection of Christ... God showed John exactly what would take place during the Gentile reign. Now, you haven't got any limited time like the Jews, but we got a sign. We got a--we got a sign post. Well, God did with the Jews just exactly what He said He would do in them sixty-nine years--or 483 years, but sixty-nine weeks. And one week left, one week's yet determined.
Now, we cannot apply it in here, 'cause this is Gentile, the church. How many understands that? Now, this is Revelations; beginning with the 1st chapter until the 3rd chapter takes us over to Laodicea. Now, we see exactly how this is all the church, church world itself, God never included the sinner and just--unless he wants to get saved. But the church world was all white; then come the Nicolaitanes who wanted to form an organization. The dignitaries got into it. This was at Nicaea, Rome, when they had the Nicene Council. And what did they do? They organized the church, then it begin to persecute the Christians. Then in the next church age, it almost, Christianity in the way of the baptism of the Holy Ghost was all wiped out.

L-107 But then as you people know, that I went back and got the history, the Nicene Fathers, and the Pre-Nicene Fathers, and all the histories of the church, and the most ancient manuscript that I could find, and every one of them proved to you that the church that God was talking about was not that organized Catholic church or no other organization. God was talking about... And all those great stars of the age were men who taught the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, and the coming of the Spirit of God, and--and speaking in tongues, and interpretation of tongues, and healing, and miracles, and signs. That's what God 'lots. He can't change His mind, say, "Well, this is My idea of a church, the apostolic church. Now My idea is a dignitary church." God does not change. It's still Holy Ghost.
And we watch and bring it, then when we see God's nature and what He--and then bring His Scripture out, and then take the--the history that shows it just exactly hit on the dot, exactly to the date, to the time, to everything that God said through John would come to pass, it happened to that Gentile age.

L-109 Now, we find ourself beyond any shadow of a doubt in the Laodicean age. We know we are. We've come through the Lutheran age; we've come through the Wesley age; now we're in the Laodicean age, the last age. And we realize that each one of those churches had a messenger. We find out that. Seven stars in His hand which was Seven Spirits went forth before God. Each one had a messenger. And we come down and we find out by the Bible what the nature of that messenger would be, what was the nature of that messenger would be. And we pick up the man in history that had that nature. And then when we find that man in history that had that nature, we come to find out he was the messenger to that church age. Then we find out what spirit and what did that man do. And we find out that he was a Holy Ghost filled saint, Saint Irenaeus, and all those others, and--and Saint Columbus, and all--all those--those men filled with the Spirit. And we know that by the Scripture that that type of spirit was to be upon that type of man for the same time. There it is, so it can't be wrong. Amen. Glory to God. That's just...
