<TITLE>17. Par 147-159</TITLE>L-147 Then an Angel came to him, said, "Weep not, John, for the Lion of the Tribe of Judah has prevailed, and He is worthy."

L-148 And John looked to see a lamb... or see a lion, and what did he find? A Lamb, and it was a Bloody Lamb, a Lamb that had been slain. How long? Since the foundation of the world.

L-149 The Lamb came forth, walked up to Him that had the Book in His right hand, and received the Book; climbed up on the Throne and sat down. That's it. It was over (when?) when the Seals was revealed. When the last one, that was everything that He had redeemed, there was nothing...
He come to redeem.

L-150 Say, "Why didn't He redeem them forty years ago? Two thousand years ago?"

L-151   See, their names are on the Book of Life, in that Book. And He had to stand here, because it was God's purpose to redeem them. Their names were put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. The Lamb was put there with it, to be slain. Here come the Lamb, when was slain, come back to make intercessions.

L-152 Watch Him! There'll be a lot of impersonation, lot of everything else, but there was really somebody was going to be saved, for He... The Church was predestinated to be without spot or wrinkle. She is going to be There. And the Lamb died for that purpose. And then when the last name on that Book was redeemed, the Lamb came forth and took the Book, "I'm the One that did it!"

L-153   The Angels, the Cherubims, the four and twenty Elders, the Beasts, everything, uncrowned themselves, fell down before the Throne, and said, "Worthy art Thou!"

L-154 John said, "Everything in Heaven and earth heard me hollering, 'Amen,' screaming, 'Hallelujah,' and praises to God." The scream went up. Why? Their names was in that Book, to be revealed, and the Lamb had revealed it.

L-155   The Lamb had redeemed it, but He could not come forth until every name was revealed, and that was taking place under the Sixth Seal, before the Seventh broke. Then the spotless... Then the Lamb came for what He had redeemed. He come to claim what He had redeemed. He's already got it, right here in the Book, taken It from His hand. Now He's coming to receive what He has redeemed. That's His work. He's done. He's come to receive it. Oh, what a--what a time! Has proven it, the Seventh Seal proved it. Come back and took the Book of Redemption!

L-156   Notice, it was to be the seventh angel's Message that was to reveal the seventh, the Seven Seals. Revelation 10:7, now, you'll find it. See?

L-157 "And he saw this Angel come down, put His foot on the land and on the sea," that was Christ, "had a rainbow over His head." Notice Him, you'll find Him in Revelation 1, again, "with the rainbow over His head; look upon as jasper and sardius," and so forth. Here He come, put one hand... "One foot upon the land, one upon the water; raised up His hand. He had a rainbow over His head," yet. That's a covenant. He was the Covenant Angel, which was Christ; made a little lower than the Angels, to suffer. There He come, "And put His hands up to Heaven, and swore by Him that lives forever and ever," the Eternal One, the Father, God, "that time shall be no more," when this takes place. It's run out. It's done. It's finished.

L-158   And then the Scripture says, "And at--at the Message of the seventh earthly angel," the messenger on earth, the seventh and last Church Age, "at the beginning of his ministry," when it starts off into the earth, at that time, "the mystery of God, of these Seven Seals, should be made known by that time." Now we see where we're at. Could it be, friends, could it be? Notice, all possible.

L-159   All that had been redeemed in the Book, He come forth for redemption. All that was to be redeemed was in the Book, predestinated before the foundation of the world. He come to redeem It. All He had redeemed was written therein.
