<TITLE>04. Par 31-41</TITLE>L-31   Let us pray again. Lord, bless these Words to our hearts. May our thoughts and our meditation be according to Thy bidding. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
You may be seated.

L-32   There is so many things that a pastor would like to say to his congregation that he loves, of different people from different places, which would not be permitted on the account of time.

L-33 Now as we approach this subject, we want you to feel at liberty. And many of you are standing; and as I come by, the halls was full, and outside the doors, and the front, and around the building, and around the walls. So, now, if you want to change seats with each other, that'll be fine.

L-34   Now, The Feast Of The Trumpets. Now, this was a gathering of Israel, where they gathered together, the feast of the trumpets.

L-35 Now, I have been anticipating for sometime to--to speak on the subject of the Seven Trumpets in the Book of Revelations. And now we are going to review this, just a moment, to bring out the real cause of me not speaking this time, because the Holy Spirit would not let me speak at this time on these things. I know that sounds very juvenile, maybe, to people of great learning and understanding, but to the Christian it's different. We--we follow the leading of the Spirit, that alone.

L-36   Now, I begin to notice at the preaching of the Seven Church Ages, which is the--the pattern, or the forecast of all that God was going to do for the churches, and through the churches, and positionally setting them up.

L-37 The first three chapters of the Book of Revelations reveals all the happenings unto the Church. Then, from the 3rd chapter unto the 19th chapter of Revelation, there is no more seen of the Church. The Church goes up at the 4th chapter of Revelations, and returns back at the 19th chapter of Revelations, the Bride and the Groom, together, coming to the earth. And then from the 19th chapter to the conclusive of the 22nd chapter, it's all on the Millennium and what will be in the years that is to follow it. During the 4th to the 19th, God is dealing with Israel.

L-38   Now, then, when we got finished with the book of the revelation of the church, what God did to those seven churches, which were then in their infancy, or their shadow, in Asia Minor. Then the Holy Spirit revealed and opened to us all the mysteries in There, of how He has brought His Church through history. And if you don't have The Seven Church Ages on tape, it would be good if you listened to them. And soon they'll be in book form.

L-39 Then just leaving it at that, and presuming that after a while we would preach on the Seals, not knowing what the Seals was.

L-40 I had my own idea, as every minister does, of reading maybe what other man had said; and believing as much as I possible, with them, on the things that they had drawed up, their conclusion. I had read the book of Mr. Smith, Uriah Smith, which is the Adventist teacher, and I had read his--his thoughts on it. And I had read Mr. Larkin. I had read, oh, so many different ones, of their commentaries on This. But, somehow or other'n, I thought I had a--a little view of it, myself, that might be of places different. But trying one time, just speaking three subjects, the first... or the four subjects of the four horse riders. I preached on it four nights, one on one horse, and the other.

L-41   But then just before it happened, I was given a vision, which is on tape, as you all know, Sirs, What Time Is It? that I should go to Tucson, Arizona. And there on the back side of the desert, up into the mountain, where I was with some brethren, and told about what a great blast would go off, and I... seven Angels came down. Me thinking, myself, it was the end of my life; told my wife to get with Billy, and what to do with the children, and so forth, till we met again at the other side.
