<TITLE>40. Par -</TITLE>L-67-2 Roman caterpillar started eating on that Tree in the days of Paul. He said, "I am persuaded (Scripture here) that after my departing, men will raise up among you, brethren, like sheepskins over them, wolf inside, and will draw away many after them. For the spirit of antichrist, that you heard that was to come into the world is already in the world now, working in the children of what? Disobedient." Disobedient to what? The Word.
There you are. Organization begins starting. You see what I mean, friends? All that see that, say, "Amen."
Beginning to eat. What'd it did? That old caterpillar started, that old cankerworm. That... Joel saw it. Listen now, we're coming down close to the end. Joel saw it, and he said, "What the palmerworm left, did the locust eat; what the locust eat, then the cankerworm got; what the cankerworm left, why, the caterpillar got it." That's what he said; and that's exactly; that's the Tree of God. The Tree... Cut It down, the cankerworm... All right.

L-67-3 The Roman caterpillar started eating on that Bride Tree and took It all the way to the roots (cut It all the way back, everything, cut the Tree right off, like it did Christ Jesus, the Bridegroom); cut the Bride right down, and started out in creeds and denominations: Same old bug. But what? Oh, Glory. But in Its roots was the predestinated Seed, the Royal Seed of Abraham; It could not die. The Word was in the roots with a promise, "I will restore, saith the Lord. (What?) All the years that the caterpillar cut off, all that the locust eaten, all that all the rest of the bugs eat up, I will restore It back, saith the Lord."

L-68-1 Now, compare this with last Sunday and the Sunday before, these messages now. Listen close now as you come to the closing. Watch. "I will restore, saith the Lord, all that the bugs eat off; I'll bring every bit of It right back again."
Now, set quiet as you can for a few minutes and listen close; get ready and pray with all your heart for God to reveal It to you.

L-68-2 So God's promise begin to restore, for God said He would restore It, and just as same as He ri--raised up that Bride Tree--Bridegroom Tree, He will raise up the Bride Tree, 'cause there's going to be One right yonder, as sure as the world. What now? All right. So God's promise begin, "I will restore, saith the Lord, all that the locust eat, caterpillar."
Like in the first time when He built that first church... I'm going to get to some doctrines now. If you don't want to believe it, all right; but I--you just--you better search it first. See?
Notice, how did He grow that Tree in the first place? Oooh, my. This does me so good. I know I don't sound much like a minister, standing here like this, but I--I--I love what I'm talking about...?...

L-68-4 And now, notice. Like the first time, when He started that first church that the Roman caterpillar eat off (and cankerworm, so forth), He started out with justification by faith--John the Baptist. In Saint John the 13th--or 17th chapter, 17th verse, Jesus said, "Sanctify them, Father, through the Truth; Thy Word is Truth." Second work was sanctification (to the church). After justification was sanctification. And after they were sanctified, He asked them to tarry in the city of Jerusalem (Luke 24:49) until they were endued with power from on high; and there He gave birth to the Tree, the Holy Ghost, Pentecost. Justification, Sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, and then Christ come to dwell in It to bring forth the fruits. Amen. Is that right?
