<TITLE>21. Par 228-239</TITLE>L-228   And seven sabbaths is the seven church years, Church Ages. Get it? See? See? Now, the Jews has been blinded, waiting all this time, while the pentecostal Firstfruits has been poured out upon the Church. And we've come down through the martyr ages, and down through the reformer ages, and now in the calling-out age; three sections, same Spirit; like Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, same One. See? But, Seven Church Ages, being seven sabbaths.

L-229 Exactly seven sabbaths from the--from the pentecostal jubilee trumpet... a pentecostal jubilee feast, until... The waving of the sheaf, and then the pentecostal jubilee. And then from the jubilee to the atonement is seven sabbaths, fifty days, and at the end of the fifty days is the--the atonement is made. You get it? Now, and this has been a type, that the Church...

L-230   When He was revealed, Hisself, as Son of God, has been revealing to the Church in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, down through the ages, in the--the pentecostal age, see. Just keep getting more and more; justification under Luther, sanctification under Wesley, baptism of the Holy Ghost.

L-231   Now here is the calling-out time. At the Sixth Seal, when it's--when it opened, the persecution struck the Jews, in the literal standpoint; and here comes the persecution to the church, in the ecclesiastical standpoint; because, the Bride is already called. The sabbaths are over, and ready for the Jews to be called. Where to? The feast of Atonement. Oh, church, don't you see that? Called to the feast of the Atonement, (what?) to recognize the Atonement; not no more chickens and geese, and what they been doing. "The Lamb of God, slain from the foundation of the world," Israel is going to know That.

L-232   Notice, here is a great thing. Look! Oh, my! The Holy Spirit has been bound by the denominations, all these two thousand years. We find out, It has. Now notice the sabbaths, seven sabbaths, they couldn't get all the way out. The--the Bible said, "There will be a day that will be neither night or day."

L-233 "And all Scripture," Jesus said, "must be fulfilled." Is that right? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen"--Ed.]

L-234 The prophet said, "There will be a day that can't be called day and night, but in the evening time it shall be Light."

L-235 What was it? The same sun that shines in the East is the same sun that shines in the West.

L-236 Every time that sun comes up, and goes across and sets, means your life. Little baby born, weak, of a morning. About eight o'clock, it goes to school. Eleven-thirty, it's out of school, it's the heat of the day. Then it begins to set, to fifty years old, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety. She sets over yonder and dies; only to come back the next day, and say, "There is a life, death, burial, resurrection."

L-237   And, notice, civilization has went with the sun. The oldest civilization we have is China. Anyone knows that.

L-238 Where did the Holy Ghost fall? On the Eastern country, on Eastern people. And the Gospel has traveled with the sun. It come from where? From over in the East, into Germany, from Germany to England... Crossed the channel three times. Mediterranean into Germany, from Germany... From the Mediterranean, from the East, into Germany, through the Mediterranean; from Germany, across the English Channel, into England; from English Channel, across the Pacific over into... or the Atlantic, over into the United States.

L-239 And now she is at the West Coast. She has crossed the nation that she civilized and went across, and went on. Civilization travel; the Gospel has traveled with it. Now all the riffraff is on the West Coast, where everything it picked up, like the tidal wave coming in.
