<TITLE>24. Par -</TITLE>L-32-6 Somebody's come forth with a chart, and drawed it all out, and somebody's come forth with another thing and drawed this all out contrary to this one. Some's come forth and said, "This is it," coming back to this, and others has wrote books and things like that. But God comes in the power of His resurrection and who's going to speak against it? If Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He does the same that He did yesterday, today, and forever. That's what this angel is supposed to do, take them mysteries, them loose ends, that people run out on...
Notice, if it gives an uncertain sound, unscriptural, who can prepare himself? But a trumpet... Did you notice, each one of those ages, as I told you about the church coming in, there was a trumpet sounded, a seal tore loose. And a trumpet means war. And if it don't give a Scriptural sound, what about it? But let me call this to your memory. Don't miss it now.

L-33-1 Notice, each church age had its messenger. We know that. Paul was the first messenger. And when the first trumpet sounded, and the first seal was tore loose... Paul was the first messenger as we found. And what did he do? Declare war. On what? The orthodox church for not believing the Messiahic sign that Jesus had produced to them. Why, they should've knowed it. They should've knowed Him.
Remember Paul come at the end of the age. All messengers come at the end of the age. It's at the end-time when these things are--are brought forth.
Paul, knowing the Scriptures, and knowing that Jesus was Messiah, and he blasted those synagogues from place to place with the Scriptures and was put out of every one of them, till finally he shook the dust from his feet and turned to the Gentiles.

L-33-5 What was it? Sounding of a trumpet, an angel messenger standing there with the Word. Oh, my. Don't you miss that now. The Word... And Paul with the unadulterated interpretation of God's Word, blasted every one of them synagogues. Cost him his life.
How we could go down to Irenaeus, the one--the messenger of the next church age, and Saint Martin, the next church age, when they begin to get the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes begin to come in. And they blasted that age. Saint Martin blasted his age. And then Luther, the fifth messenger, he blasted that Catholic church with the Word of God. "The just shall live by faith," he said; and "This is not the literal body of Christ," and he throw the communion on the floor, walked out, and blasted that Catholic church. That trumpet sounded. That's right. That right?

L-33-7 John Wesley, raised up in the days of the Anglican church, when they said, "There is no more reason to have revivals," it went to seed. But John Wesley stood up with a message of the second work of grace: sanctification. And he blasted that Anglican church with the Gospel trumpet prepared for war. That's right. He did it.
Now, we're in the Laodicean age, when they've again denominated: Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Pentecostals, and we're looking for a prophet to come to blast this age and turn them back from their iniquity.
Now, if that's been the trend all the way down through the age, will God change His trend in this day? He can't change it. He has to keep the regular strike. And remember, this messenger was the seventh angel, and he was to take all the mysteries and gather them up.

L-34-2 Notice, the seventh angel was to blast the Laodicean rich church. "I'm rich, and increased in goods, and have need of nothing."
He said, "You're miserable wretch, poor, blind and naked, and don't know it." That was his message.
Oh, God, send us a fearless prophet with THUS SAITH THE LORD, that the vindicated Word of God will move through it, and prove that he's sent from God. And when he comes, he'll blast them ages. Sure will. He'll set that Laodicean church against him. Certainly he will. They did in every other age. It won't change in this age. It's got to be the same.
