<TITLE>20. Par 225-235</TITLE>L-225 {310-5} What is a harlot but a whore, same thing, a fornicator, fornication, evil, adultery, committing... What'd they do? Organized, got a system, taught the man-made systems, Pentecost and the whole bunch.
Now, don't let your--your conscience drop down in your pocket, Pentecost. But let me tell you something. Let's look the thing right in the face. We're too late down the road now to go to pulling punches.
Looky here. We are living in the Laodicean Church Age, and that was the most ridiculous church age of all the rest of them, a lukewarm and the only one that Christ was on the outside trying to get back in; and that's the Pentecostal message...?... Said, "I'm rich." Boy, you was poor first. Now, you be--really got rich (See?), have need of nothing, and--and all what you was.
And He said, "You're naked, miserable, blind, poor, wretched, and don't even know it."
Now, if a man was naked out there on the street and knowed it, why, he'd try to help himself; but when he--when he don't know it, and you can't tell him no different, then he's in a bad shape. God have mercy upon him. That's right.

L-230 {311-3} Notice. Oh, my. Now, remember, this antichrist himself, being the man, his bride, which is his church, was given a space to repent; and she did not do it in that church age, Thyatira. You remember it? See?
Well, let's go back just a minute. It won't hurt us to go back just a minute. Let's go back, 1st--2nd chapter just a minute. We'll just read it--the second chapter of... Now, Thyatira. Now, watch this just right quick now. My, we're just about closing time, and haven't got started. But...

L-231 {311-5} Notice, Thyatira. Now, it begins with the 18th verse of the--of the 2nd chapter.
... unto the angel... (That's the messenger.)... of the church of Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who has his eyes like unto a flames..., and his feet are like onto fine brass;
I know thy works, and thy charity, and thy service, and thy faith,... thy patience, and the works; and thou has to be more than the--then the last to be more than... first.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou suffers that woman Jezebel...

L-232 {312-1} There you are. You know her in the Bible. She was the wife of Ahab. And here is the woman, church, Jezebel, the wife of the false prophet which is supposed to be the genuine prophet of God: the pope (Right.), the genuine prophet and his wife Jezebel. Now, Ahab was supposed to be a genuine Jew, but he was a rascal; you know that. Because his wife just led him anyway he wanted to. We find out Jezebel takes her money and leads these the way they want to too.
... which calleth herself a prophetess... (Get it?)... to teach and... seduce my servants... (See, that Jezebel teaching just swept the country.)... to commit fornications,... to eat things sacrificed to idols.
... I gave her space to repent... (See?)... of her fornication; and she repented not. (Watch this next verse.)
... I will cast her into a bed... (That's hell.)... and them that commit adultery with her, unto great tribulation... (That's going into great tribulation, not the Church now.)... except they repent of their deeds. (Now, watch out here.)
... I will kill her children... (her harlots)... with death;... (Spiritual death... You believe it? That's the Word. "I will kill them with death." And if they're killed, they're eternal separated.)

L-235 {312-2} All right, remember, He gave her a space to repent. Thyatira Age was the dark age. The dark horse rider rode in that time, when all the masses and everything had to be paid for and the prayers and--and the novenas and so forth.
Now. See his black horse then? After he refused to repent in Thyatira (Watch.) changes his riding from a black horse to a pale one, death, for his last ministry.
