<TITLE>06. Par 57-62</TITLE>L-57   Like the Message and the signs a following, in this day, like it was in the days of other days that we passed through, in the Bible time. And no other time could this ever be till now. No other time could this Message ever come forth till now. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." The Message could not be till now. The world wasn't in the condition as until it's in now. This is the hour that Jesus could appear at any time.

L-58 The sleeping virgin coming in, trying to buy Oil. That is at that time when the Bride went in, and the rest of them was left here. Did you ever think what happened? They went right ahead preaching and thinking they were getting souls saved, and everything, and did not know it. They knew nothing about it. The church will go on, thinking souls are being saved, and everything else, and the Church is already (the Bride) sealed away. Don't know it! Certainly. That's exactly what the Scripture said. Noah went into the ark, and God sealed it out. Truly. And the time will come when men and women will cry to God, and even think that they've got something, when they haven't. That's exactly right. The Scripture speaks that.

L-59   Likewise, we must remember that God is "long-suffering, not willing that any should perish." He always sends His signs, His wonders. And then when He gets ready to do anything, He separates the believer from the unbeliever.

L-60 Notice, then, how He provide for His promised-land people. Look what He did for His promised-land people there, to be sure that they would not be mixed up in some kind of an ism. What did He do? He sent a prophet to them, Moses, with a message, identifying God's Word. And, to identify Moses, He sent a Pillar of Fire that hung over him. Amen. Then, to give them a perfect assurance, He's required a token. Amen. There is the messenger, the message, and the vindication, and the token, the perfect assurance that they had nothing to worry about. No matter how many plagues strike, what everybody else says, they are sealed away.

L-61   Israel coming out of Egypt, as I said a few minutes ago, is a type of the Bride coming out of the church. When Moses begin his ministry, Israel gathered together in one place, in Goshen, begin to pray; because they knowed that the hour was at hand, because they knew something was there. The deliverer had already come. God was working, doing things, showing what He was going to do. They come from all parts of Egypt, just like they will at the day of His Coming. They'll take people out of the Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran. All those who are identified in Christ, by the Token, God will take them with Him when He comes.

L-62   We read over here in Hebrews, the 10th chapter, 26th verse, "If we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the Truth, there remaineth no more Sacrifice for sin, but a fearful, dreadful looking for the fiery judgments which will devour the adversary." That is, if we disbelieve wilfully after we have a knowledge of the Truth, there is no more Sacrifice for sin." Think of it! No matter what you're thinking in your heart, the Token can never be applied; if you reject It the last time, then it cannot be applied. "He, for he that sins or disbelieves wilfully."
