<TITLE>02. Par 12-19</TITLE>L-12   So we're--we're trying to get every soul saved, so that Jesus can come. And He cannot come until that last one that has the name of the Book of Life, that was put There before the foundation of the world; when that name is called, that's the last one then. He came to redeem, to bring back. Redeem is "to bring back." And when He brings the last one in... He is setting at the right hand of God, tonight, doing His mediator work. And when that last soul is saved, that was redeemed, and seen and knowed by God before the foundation of the world; when that last soul is saved, that closes the Book. Then the Lamb comes out, takes the Book out of the right hand of Him that sets upon the Throne. Then it's... He's coming then, He's coming to the earth. I think that God is...

L-13   Many times we get nervous and we begin to think, "Well, it ought to be this way, and we've got to make it this way or make it that way." We don't have nothing to do into it; just play our part that He leads us to play. Remember, there's nothing out of cater.

L-14 The great omnipotent God knows just exactly, before the foundation of the world, that we would sit here tonight. If He's infinite, He has to. So, He can't be infinite without knowing all things. And by His foreknowledge He knew that this meeting would be here; and perhaps ordained of Him, I trust that it is, to bring some more into His Kingdom.

L-15   God, like in the beginning, He was just God. Well, He wasn't really god; He was just the Eternal. God is a... Our English word God means "an object of worship." And there was nothing to worship Him. He was self-existing, Elohim. So there was nothing to worship Him, so He was just the great Eternal.

L-16 But in Him was attributes. And attributes is thoughts. Just like you have to think of anything before you speak it; then when you speak, it becomes a word. And then He is the Eternal, and in Him was attributes. And He spoke it, and It was the Word, and the Word is made manifest. And as the Word is made manifest, it's God becoming material.

L-17 And so, everything is right on time, we don't have to worry about that. He, He'll have everything. He'll never let His enemy override Him. He'll let the enemy do certain things, to lead people into temptation, to try His--His child, and so forth. "For every son that comes to God must be chastened of God, and tried." Therefore, if we cannot stand chastisement, then we become illegitimate children and not what we profess to be.

L-18   So, this week, the rest of this week, let's put our faith up there like really Abraham's Seed, like we're supposed to be. Let's believe God. And then we'll pray for the sick and do everything we can, to help along. And when we leave, we trust that there will be an old-fashion revival through this country here, that people will be swarming in from everywhere, jam up these churches, and so forth, for an old-fashion revival.

L-19 We just passed through a great revival, last fifteen, sixteen years. We've had great meetings. It's broke all history records, as far as I know history. Usually a revival lasts about three years, but this has gone on for many years. And now the revival fires are quieting down, the enthusiasm of the people is dying off, and you can see it. In the--the old temple of Vesta, in Rome, when the fires went out, the people went home. But we're trying to rebuild these fires again on every hill that we can. I cannot do it, no minister can; it takes all of us, together, in prayer, and believing and trusting God, to see the Holy Spirit continue to bless His people as we wait on His Coming.
