<TITLE>48. Par 537-548</TITLE>L-537   His body was not held in the grave. Recognized with Him in the resurrection, same as He is now, listen, which means this: His Word, which He is, has been begin to be risen. The Word, that down through the age of Luther, Wesley, see, has begin to raise up to Its power; there It begin to move, then It moved a little more, now It's coming up to identification. See? Watch. Now, to the Life in the Body, is a vindication of the Rapture is at hand. When you see the Headship and the Body becoming One, and the fullness of the measure of His manifestation, shows that the Body is about ready to be received to the Headship.
Nations are breaking. Israel is awakening.

L-538   See what I mean? He has begin to give Life unto His Body, (why?) the One that He has redeemed. The mediatorial work is done, He's bringing His Life to Body, in a vindication for the Rapture. Remember, now, in the last day...

L-539 I--I, if you'll let, just bear me on this just a little bit now, now, it'll be all right. I don't want you to miss it. I--I, and I got... I got to take this tape now, being I started this far. One more great remark I want to make, if I have to move over a little of it.

L-540   Now notice. Listen to this. Now is the great thing. Now is where we want to watch. Remember, in the last days, will exactly go back and vindicate the first day; see, Adam and Eve, husband and wife, no sin, Life; then the fall. Notice, notice closely.
Twist her up. Uh-huh.

L-541 Notice what caused it. Lucifer! Lucifer is doing now as he did at the first time.

L-542 Just as the kingdom of the Gentiles was brought in, with King Nebuchadnezzar, vindicated the Gentile race by a prophet who could interpret unknown tongues, visions, dreams. And it's come down through the Gentiles, without anything, just Medo-Persians, and iron and so forth, and in the feet it goes out the same way again, the Gentile kingdom.

L-543   Notice Lucifer, in the last days, is doing as he did at first. What did Lucifer do? The first thing that Lucifer done to separate the fellowship of God and man, he wanted to build him a united kingdom, a greater splendor and seemingly more cultured, a greater kingdom than Michael, Christ had.

L-544 You got it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now, now if you miss it, just hold up your hand, I'll say it again, you see. See?

L-545 Lucifer, at the beginning, his purpose in heart was to achieve a brighter and greater thing in Heaven than Christ had, is that right, by seemingly a more cultured, more beautiful, more splendor, than the Kingdom of Christ. Do you think we'll have automobiles in the Millennium, and airplanes? See? See what Lucifer is doing?

L-546   Now, the big fancy intellectual denominations are doing the very same thing, gathering themselves together to do the same thing. See? They are gathering and a denominating themselves, each one trying to beat the other one. And now they got so much splendor, they don't know what to do but to unite it with the Catholic church. See? Lucifer again building a bigger kingdom, to push out people that don't believe in denominations; and even take their church buildings and make storerooms, and the pastors of such has no rights at all.

L-547 And a man that is a God-sent man would never stay in a denomination after hearing This or seeing It, if he--if he's got enough to go out and look at It. Certainly. See? I don't say that critically; I say that truthfully, see, to see that revealed.

L-548   Notice, in this last days, Lucifer is doing the same thing. Can you see it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] The devil doing the same thing, building up a hybrid church, a hybrid by hybrid members, hybrid by knowledge instead of the Word, by intellectual men instead of born-again men, building an intellectual kingdom that will outshine Christ's little bitty flock. See? What is it that did that? Fallen angels.
