<TITLE>39. Par 489-500</TITLE>L-489   There will come a time! People, we're not gathering here for in vain. We're only waiting for that time. It is very, very late, but Jesus is still very, very near. And, His Glory, it's wonderful. "His Name shall be called Counsellor." That City, can you see it? There is where the Bride and the Groom will settle, and never again to...

L-490   Now, if you think it's wonderful when we drive hundreds of miles to set here and feed on His Word, which this is only a shadow, what will it be when we live in the City with Him! When I live next-door neighbor to you, and when we eat of those trees, and we will walk in those streets, when we walk up those streets of gold to the fountain, drink from the fountain, walk into the paradises of God, with Angels hovering the earth, singing the anthems, oh, what a Day that will be! It's worth all. The road seems rugged, sometimes it gets hard, but, oh, it'll be so little when I see Him, so little. What will the bad names and things that they've said, what will that be when I see Him in that beautiful, beautiful City of God?

L-491   Let us bow our heads.
I'm bound for that beautiful City
My Lord has prepared for His Own;
Where all the Redeemed of all ages
Sing "Glory!" around the White Throne.
Sometimes I go homesick for Heaven,
And its glories I There shall behold;
What a joy that will be when my Saviour I see,
In that beautiful City of gold!

L-492 On the island of Patmos, John saw it! [Brother Branham weeps for joy--Ed.]

L-493   Dear Jesus, this hope, my hope's built on nothing less, Lord. That's the mother of my heart; that City, the great King. God, don't let one here perish, please. May we examine our lives again, today, Lord, waiting for the Coming of the Lord. Where, all them Redeemed, out yonder in that great coliseum in Rome, where them Christians was eat up by lions, shall the dust break forth someday!

L-494 There'll be no graveyards on the hillside of Glory. No doorknobs will hold a funeral wreath. No tear will spot upon it. No, no. No heaped-up sod. No storms will strike it. It'll all be glorious there.

L-495   Help us, Lord. If there is one here... that's called to this Wedding Supper of the Lamb, this thousand years of Millennium reign, and to then enter into the City after the Honeymoon is over. The Millennium is merely the Honeymoon. Then She, the Bride, takes His... Bridegroom takes His Bride Home. It's Hers. Her Bridegroom; His Bride. Oh, He's gone to prepare a House, since He's become engaged.

L-496 May we be true to Him Who is the Word, for He is the Word. Regardless of how others try to sass us, keep us away from It; Lord, draw me nearer.
For sometimes I grow homesick for Heaven,
And its glory I There shall behold;
What a joy that will be when my Saviour I see,
In that beautiful City of gold!

L-497   The future Home of the Groom and Bride! He is coming back... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... to the Wedding Supper; it's going to be three and a half days. Then return again, in the Millennium, on our honeymoon. And then He--He's going to bring the City into view. Like the bridegroom taking the bride to her surprise, how the little bride stands there in awe as she looks at her future home! And by faith, today, Lord, we see it yonder. It'll be right here on this earth. You promised it.

L-498 Your Church will be completely redeemed, one of these days. And then Your world will be redeemed, the rest of the particles. But first You have redeemed Your people, their bodies that's made up of the world.

L-499   Help us, God. If there is one here who isn't just exactly sure of that, Lord, may they receive it just now.

L-500 I know it's been long and hot, but, people, we won't always be standing here. I won't always be your pastor. Let's make it sure.
"Is there a way, Brother Branham?"
