<TITLE>35. Par 436-448</TITLE>L-436   But look where this One comes from. From the Throne, there is where it gets its Life-giving resources. Comes from under the Throne of God, where God sits.

L-437 All of it, all of this earth, this earth here we live in now; every one, whether it be Christian or pagan, has temples. Did you ever think of that? Churches, all of them.

L-438 But this One doesn't have any. The Bible said, "And there was no temple there. But the Lord God and the Lamb is the Temple of it." The Lamb is the Light. The Lamb is the Temple. The Lamb is the Throne. The Lamb is the Life. He is that Temple. See, all these temples have a object they're worshiping; but, in this City, He is the object. He is with His people. His Spirit Light floods the pyramid City.

L-439   Like Peter and John, up on top of the mountain. The Light covered the top of the mountain, and a Voice spoke, said, "This is My beloved Son."

L-440   In Revelation 21:3 and 4, "The tabernacle of God is with man." God has tabernacled in man, by redeeming him, by these three processes. Now God is going to redeem the earth and tabernacle in the earth, with His subjects of the earth, which He brought forth from the earth. And through sin it fell, but the... He had to let it go on. But now He sent Jesus to redeem that fallen earth, which we are part of. "There not one hair of your head will perish." Jesus said so. He said, "I'll raise it up again at the last day." See? Why? You're a part of the earth.

L-441   You notice, I had the little joke about my wife telling me I lost my hair. I told her I hadn't lost one of them.
She said, "Where they at?"

L-442 I said, "Where they was before I got them." Ever where they was, a substance; wherever they are, they're waiting for me. See? That's right. I'll go to them, one day.

L-443   This old body, wrinkling and falling, and dwindling over in shoulders, and aching in knees, and--and hoarse in the throat. That's all right. You can bury it in the sea, but the Trumpet will wake me!...?... Yes, sir. We're going to change, one of these days. I am part of this world that's redeemed. You're in the world, but nothing of the kosmos. You're in a different order, a redeemed order.

L-444   Notice, "The tabernacle of God will be with man." Notice, "The former things has passed away." This, this thing, has passed away. This means that Heaven has come down to resident with man. See? Heaven and earth are embraced.

L-445 Just exactly when the Dove came upon part of the earth, which was Jesus; He was the dust of the earth, man. God, coming from that one little Life-germ, by creative power. And that Blood that was in that... The Life that was in that Blood ascended back to God, but the Blood dripped upon the earth, to claim it. [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit several times--Ed.]

L-446   Because of the blood that was brought through, from the germ cell from Cain, see; now He comes back with the creative power just like He did Adam, creating Adam, here is the Second Adam. And through that breaking cell there, where (sin) Cain broke that blood cell upon the just, see, now this Blood Cell... Because, he killed Abel, but Abel was born sex.

L-447 But this One wasn't born sex. "It was the creation of God, the beginning of it," and It redeemed the earth. And all of the calcium, potash, petroleum, cosmic light, that you are made out of, is redeemed. "Not one hair shall be harmed. And I'll raise it up again at the last day."

L-448   Then what? God comes down to resident upon the earth. Which, He is a part of it, His Own body. He raised it up for our justification, and we're justified by believing that and accepting that. Notice in types, Jesus becomes... In the type, Jesus becomes man; God... or predestinated to take his place, to redeem us, to make all these things possible.
Notice, outside of its beautiful walls, of this City.
