<TITLE>21. Par 141-145</TITLE>L-141 Now, looky here. We find out the Jews has now been returning back for about forty years, about the same time that it taken them to run out to the destruction of the temple. It's taken about forty years to come back until they reinstruct another temple. See, we're right at the end of the road. Well, if the Gentile...
Now, let's take the... We see the church, the coming of the Stone. Let us take the last age. We went through and we seen how... I believe I got some writing here on that. Let's see just a minute. "And the prince that is to come, which is the antichrist, will make a covenant with the Jews, and the--in Daniel 7--or--or 9:27. And in the middle of the week, three and one half years, the beast will make a covenant..." I--I want to get to that one a little later on. That covenant, we want to... I want to start right here now.

L-143 Each one of these Gentile ages is infallibly proved of their messenger, of the message, and what would happen. This age here was a glorious age. The next age it said there would be a doctrine called--or something come in called "the--the sayings of the Nicolaitanes." Then it come the next thing unto a doctrine. Then it come marriage of--to the Nicolaitane church and the persecuting of the saints. Everything happened just that way. We come to the next one, just a little bit of light begin. "You got a little of strength, and you got a name that you live, but you're dead. Strengthen that which you already have, lest I come and remove the candlestick."

L-144 Along come Wesley after that with his age. We see exactly what Wesley's age... What was it called? Philadelphian, the greatest age--age of love we've ever had, the Philadelphian age. Was right... In John Wesley's time... When he went out, in come Pentecost, and that was lukewarm. Then we go back and find out what kind of a Message would come to the Pentecostals at the end... And remember, each one's come at the end of the age. Saint Paul come at the end; the rest of them come down at the end, Saint Irenaeus and all the rest of them. The other one's age carried over to the other one, lapped over, and he taken it up and went on to the next age with it. See?

L-145 Now, we find out in this age... There's the stars; we have it there. We have a star messenger; we have a person, a--a message that goes forth to the age, a people to reject it, a people to receive it. And the messenger of this age was to come in the power of Elias. That's right. And he was to restore the faith of the children back to the fathers, bring the Pentecostal remnant that's left back to the true apostolic faith.
Now, the true apostolic faith, if you'll read it in the Book of Acts, you'll find that there was never one time one person ever baptized in the name of Father, Son, Holy Ghost. There was never one of them ever sprinkled. There was none of this stuff that we have going on today called Pentecost, that ever happened back there. They had true manifestations and the Spirit of God among them that was infallibly the Son of God working with them. This person that was to come forth--this Message, rather, that was to come forth was to be like Elijah. Elijah was to come three times. Now, you say, "That John the Baptist was that guy." If you'll notice Jesus said it was--John the Baptist was the messenger of Malachi 3, not Malachi 4. "Behold, I send My messenger before My face..." I think Matthew 11:6. Right down along in there you'll find it, Matthew the 11th chapter.
