<TITLE>29. Par -</TITLE>L-962-192 Now, notice. On this (See?), Abraham saw... Now, as He dealt with Abraham, so has He with his seed. Now, one of these days when I come back sometime, I want to take that a little more closer and show you exactly the stations of Abraham's life. It's exactly with Luther, Wesley, and on down to here, just exactly how He's dealt with the churches like He did with Abraham; how He appeared; how that there when He confirmed the covenant to him under the shed blood, it was a Philadelphian age. Yes, sir, that was the blood age, Luther--the Wesleyan age.
But then watch the Pentecostal age. After He come to there, He made the promise of El Shaddai, "nurse from Me." The question is: Can you nurse? That was brought before the Pentecostals. See? Can you nurse? But they didn't do it; they grabbed them a--a breast from the denomination where they come out of. But then the seed, real seed, come on to nurse that breast.

L-963-194 And what was the last sign they had before that promised son that they'd waited on all these years re--come back? Was God standing in the form of a Man and could discern the thoughts that was in Sarah's heart (Sarah being the church, representing the church)--discern the thoughts that's in the church that was even behind Him. Is that right? And immediately after that, she changed back to a young woman and him a young man; and Isaac was brought on the scene, the promised son.
I believe you're seeing the last thing that'll happen to the church before the rapture. That's exactly. I believe it. The rain is over. Just read the first three chapters of Revelations and you'll see what's promised to the church. That's what's promised, church, right there--the church ages.
You noticed the other day when we started them trumpets, the Holy Spirit said, "That don't belong here." See, see?

L-964-197 Now, latter rain, 144,000 Jews, no, that isn't--that--they won't--that's--that's when Elijah and Moses... There's where the miracles take place. The things that the people's been looking for, the Pentecostals, for miracles, that's where that'll take place in that--under them. See, that's Elijah's and Moses'. They smite the earth with curses as oft they will; they close the heavens that it don't rain in the days of their prophecy. And God will stand and fight for them like He did, and He'll bring them out under a mighty hand just exactly like He did in Egypt (See?), out of these "isms" of the world. And He'll do that, but that is not...

L-964-198 We're just to wait on the coming of the Lord. Just wait; keep your lamps trimmed, all filled full of oil. Pray up every hour, not every day, every hour. Just keep ready; be ready; be sweet, and watching...
Oh, we're watching for the coming of that glad Millennium day.
When our blessed Lord shall come and catch His waiting Bride away.
Oh, my--oh, my heart is filled with rapture as I labor, watch, and pray,
For our Lord is coming back to earth again.
That's it; that's the hope of the church this hour.

L-964-Q-254 254. Is the Name of "Jesus Christ" all right for baptism, or does it have to be in the Name of the "Lord Jesus Christ"?
Either one. I take it Lord Jesus Christ (See?), because I think He is our Lord. Now, just the Name of Jesus, like some of our brethren baptize, I--I different there (See?), 'cause I know I've got a lot of friends named Jesus, a lot of--a lot of preacher friends in Mexico, and--and Italy, and so forth. They call them Jesus, and so Jesus is not enough. He was born Christ the Saviour, as He was born the Saviour, Christ, the anointed. And eight days later He was given the Name of Jesus. See? Then He was the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what He was. All right.
