<TITLE>08. Par 72-84</TITLE>L-72   Now, and it's--it's such a--a dreadful thing to--to think that the world has got in this corruption, because all the riffraff, you see, and just floated in this way, coming with civilization.

L-73 But all the time... I'm going to preach one of these days, the Lord willing, in a few days, on The Countdown. You know, I--I know you orbited, and so we--we just see there what's taking place. God's been able to do something with His Church, too, all the time, you see, while these things are going on. And now were at the end time, thank the Lord!

L-74   Each age has had its message and messenger. God has seen to that. Every... Even in the church ages, we find out that each one had a messenger, and each one lived their age; and another one come in, and that one went out; and another one come in; on down to the seventh church age; each star, each angel of the church, each messenger.

L-75 And we find out, at the last church age, over in Revelation 10, there is to be a trumpet sound, and there was seven voices uttered at... They was not permitted to write. But it was sealed on the back side of the Book, the seven seals was on the back side of the Book. After the Book is written, then It's sealed back there with seven seals. Now, no one knows what they are. But It said, "In the days of the seventh angel sounding forth his Message," that's earthly angel, now.

L-76 Because this Angel came down from Heaven; and this was on earth; angel is "a messenger," a messenger to the age.

L-77   And then we notice that He put His... had a rainbow over His head and raised up His hand and swore by Him that lives for ever and ever, that time should be no more (when these seven voices uttered, seven thunders uttered their voices). And He told them, "Don't write, but seal It." And we found it was on the back side of the Book.

L-78 "But when the seventh angel had finished his Message, his prophesying of the day, then the mystery of God should be finished," everybody knows the Bible says that. "The mystery of God, what God is, Who God is, and all about the way into the baptism and things, that should all be settled in that day.

L-79   Each messenger has had his message, and the--the message and the messenger of the age. And it is most remarkable that each messenger... We even found in the church ages (and tonight we'll go back in the Old Testament and find that it's the same thing) that God sends the messenger of that age at the end of the time; always at the end, never at the beginning. At the end!

L-80 Now, as Luther's age faded out, then Wesley come in. And when Wesley's sanctification faded out, Pentecostal age come in. See? Its always the messenger opens up the new message at the end of the old. It's each age that that's been done. We know that to be the truth.

L-81   This is repeated each time through the Bible. We find that in the sacred Scriptures, all the way through, that just at the ending of the old age and the new one coming in, that age fades out and a new age comes in, God sends the messenger.

L-82 And as always--always, every time at a messenger comes, it's always a call back to the Word, never fails. Remember, This is the complete revelation of Jesus Christ, there cannot be nothing added to It or taken from It. It's the complete revelation of Jesus Christ. And the only way that we can ever be sure: if anything rises among us that's contrary to this revelation, then it's wrong. See? It's "Back to the Word!" and always calling back.

L-83   And in every case in the Scripture, every case, God uses a prophet to call that age back, always. Makes... No, not one time to fail, He always sends a--a prophet! And now why does He do that? Is because the Bible says, "It's the prophet that the Word of God comes to," the revealer of the Word.

L-84 Now, I--I--I hope that I'm not misunderstood. See? I don't mean to be misunderstood, but I mean to be honest and faithful to the call. We want to be that.
