<TITLE>08. Par 56-63</TITLE>L-56   Now, the man comes forth, and the woman takes his name. These blinded Gentiles who can't see that Name, "the Lord Jesus Christ," in baptism! It's just too bad, but it has to be that way. The Jews, they had to--they had to not see that. There is only one can see it; that's the one who is predestinated to see it. Otherwise, you'll never see it.
The Jews could not see that being their Messiah. And, yet, they were scholars and theologians, man of great renown scholarship, read the same Bible that you read. Now, after it's been made known to us, we can see it plain, that was Messiah. But, they couldn't see it, neither can they see it today. They are prophesied to be blinded, too.

L-57 The church, this day, is prophesied to be blinded, to reject the evening-time Message. Revelations 3 said so, "Thou art wretched, miserable," notice the bride's condition the other night, or the church, "naked, blind, and don't know it." Lord Jesus, be merciful to us! The Bible said she was "naked." I never saw it till just now. Laodicea church was naked. And when she appeared the other night, she was "naked," never noticed it, "and didn't know it."

L-58   Oh, how thankful! How, no wonder we are so grateful! I feel that we're not grateful enough for the things that God is making known to us.

L-59 "Naked." And the visions said, showed me she was naked and didn't know it, and "blinded." As Israel was blinded so that the Gentiles could come in, now the Gentiles are blinded so the Bride can be taken out and Israel can receive the feast of Trumpets. Just perfectly!

L-60 "After two days He will revive us, or give us a revival, bringing us together, the Jews," speaking on these Trumpets now. And He shall... "And we shall live in His sight, or have Eternal Life. See, we'll be in His sight." The Bible said here in Hosea, said, "And we shall live in His sight; Life, have Life in His sight." That's His Own Life, Eternal Life, "have Life in His sight."
"She that lives in pleasure is dead while she's alive." So we... promised that Israel again would have Life in His sight. She's been dead, to the facts, and to the pentecostal feast.

L-61   Now notice, carefully. "Then after two days." Now, that didn't mean two twenty-four-hour days, 'cause there's been... That happened way back yonder, many hundreds of years ago. See? It meant, "two days with the Lord," after two thousand years. Now, you know how long it's been since that time? It's been twenty-seven hundred years since that, 'cause in Hosea here it's B.C. 780. 1964, see, it's been something over twenty-seven hundred years ago. He said, "After two days, in the third day, He will revive us again, and give us Life in His sight." There is your Trumpets coming in. That's the hour that we're living, the day that we're living.

L-62   Now, they have been scattered, blinded, gathered, and are far into the third day. You see it? They were scattered, from Palestine, throughout the world. They were blinded, to reject the Messiah. And now they have been gathered in their homeland, ready for the Trumpets, to recognize the Atonement.
As the Bible said, "When they receive It, and find Him with the nail scars," after the Church is taken, "and they say, 'Where did You get these scars?' He said, 'In the house of My friends.'" And He said, "They would separate, each family, and would cry and weep, for days, like a family that lost their only son." Remember, that feast of Trumpets was to do that. "To weep, mourn for the killed Sacrifice," and they had rejected It.

L-63 They're in their land. They were scattered, blinded, and now gathered. And it was all under that Sixth Seal, their Seven Trumpets... sounded to gather them together, the Sixth Trumpet. The Seventh is "that Great Trumpet," as we had last Sunday. The Sixth Trumpet sounded under the Sixth Seal. Just like our Sixth Seal opened, everything at the same time; only, theirs all sounded at once; where, we been two thousand years in the pentecostal feast.
