<TITLE>14. Par 128-138</TITLE>L-128 John's name was on it, too, and he wept because there was nobody that could touch It. And then one of the elders come and said, "Weep not, John, for the Lion of the Tribe of Juda has prevailed."

L-129 And John was looking around to find a--a lion, and out from behind the curtains come a Lamb, a Lamb that had been slain since before the foundation of the world. Then he saw a bloody Lamb come out, and He come and took the Book out of the right hand of Him, and called everything what was on that Book. It's the complete Book of redemption. And this is It. The Book of redemption, He redeemed all was in that Book, not out of the Book. Anything that had a beginning has an end. But if you've got Eternal Life, you never did begin and you cannot end, because you're sons and daughters of God, attributes of His thoughts and His Word. You have no ending of Life, if your name is on that Book. The Lamb come to redeem It. Not all that profess "Christians," not all that try to live good and holy; but those whose names were written on there, He redeemed that, and that alone, whose names were on the Book.

L-130   Now we find out that Satan caused Adam to fall, by that one word. And God continued on now, in His creation, to try to find one man who would live by every Word. His first man failed. And this man would live his time, his age that he lived in.

L-131 Now, see, there is different ages that God prophesied from the beginning, which would take place all down. That's the reason He could tell the end from the beginning, is because He knew all things. He made all things by Jesus Christ, and for Him, and for His Own pleasure. Notice closely now. Don't miss this.

L-132   What if Moses would have come bringing Noah's message? It wouldn't have worked. Couldn't. No.

L-133 What if Jesus would have come bringing Moses' message? It wouldn't have worked.

L-134 What if we come, trying to bring the Methodist message, Baptist message, or the Pentecostal message? It wouldn't work. They were fine; prove that in a minute, by the Word. They were alright in their age. That age is gone. We got to find out what the Scripture says for today. This day, that's what man is to live by for his age.
He tried to find a man that would live the whole Word.

L-135   First thing He did, He tried Noah. Noah failed Him; got drunk, he failed.

L-136 Moses, that great mighty masterpiece of God's, He tried him and he failed. He glorified himself, and wasn't permitted to go into the promised land.

L-137 Then come David, that He was going to reflect His--His... the great Millennium, in David, and He was going to show what His King was. And God swore by David, he would rise up the... raise up his son to sit on his throne. And David was such a gallant man, till, "he was a man after God's Own heart." And David was doing good. He smote all the Philistines and tore down the altars, and stayed with the Word. And, finally, a pretty woman upset him, and he broke the commandment, lost the Word, committed adultery. See? A man after His Own heart, see, still David failed Him.

L-138 Moses failed Him, all the rest of them failed Him, but all their lives were just reflection of the One that was to come.
