<TITLE>66. Par -</TITLE>L-106-5 The Old Testament: Christ, looky here. Let's just take this for instance. (Maybe if my wife didn't take my dollar. Here it is. Paid for some sandwiches awhile ago. Excuse me, friends, I oughtn't have said that, but I got a good wife.) Now, on the back of this dollar... (If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have the dollar, I guess; God's mercy give it to us and her helping me.) Now, on the back of this, looks like, if that be our money, the American seal on the left hand side of the dollar ought to be the great seal in this country. Is that right? But why is it the pyramid is called the great seal? Even your money has to testify of it. Yes, every time you send a post card or a mail, you have to test--it testifies: the year of our Lord, 1962. Everything testifies of Christ. See?

L-107-1 Did you notice that the great seal, it's the pyramid? Anybody ever know that the pyramid never had the capstone put on it? How many knows that? Sure. I been there in Egypt, Cairo: seen it. Never had the capstone, why? It was rejected, the cornerstone. That was the cornerstone that held this building, is a keystone. How many knows what a keystone is? When the arch is built, then the keystone holds it together. The cornerstone's what holds up the building, is that right? And the cornerstone in the pyramid was the capstone, was the keystone that held the rest of it together. Now, this keystone was rejected.
Did you notice, up there, it's standing up above, up above the pyramid. Now, what did that represent when Enoch built it?

L-107-3 Here's what taken place: it's just like the Gospel church coming. See, now down in the wide part of the pyramid, represents the early days of reformation: just to call yourself a Christian and deny the Catholic church, meant you'd get killed for it. Then along come... They preached justification by faith.
Then along come... Now, watch the three come back again. Along come John Wesley preaching sanctification. The church become in the minority more (See?), come down this a-way.

L-107-5 And then after John Wesley's days of sanctification, come the Pentecostal church, and God took a remnant out of that: each one accepting the Word. See? Now, when it come down to the Pentecostals, it cut it down a lot closer because it was the restoration of the gifts, bringing it right on up, make... What is it? Way down here it's a way away from the looks of the head. Down here it's a little closer to the head. Up here it's a little closer, but that's got to be absolutely to fit with the rest of it. It's got to be honed. In that pyramid, you can take a razor blade, and you can't run between them rocks where the mortar was; it's so fitly put together. They said Solomon's temple was the same. See?

L-108-1 God is taking the elect out of that Pentecostal church (that hybrid), pulling it out, and finishing up the Word. And it's got to be so close until the Word Itself will blend with this Word. There comes the Headstone, crying, "Grace, grace, amazing grace." The Headstone, here you are like this (See?), on there. [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] See, how it way wide down here? And it keeps getting closer, closer, closer (the ministry), after while here come... Here's Luther: justification, justified. Here come Wesley: sanctified bunch. Here come Pentecostal: restoration of the gifts.
Now, God's taking from there, honing out a bunch to make a ministry just exactly like that Word there, because it's got to fit with the Word. There's the Bride; take Her up.
