<TITLE>15. Par 139-146</TITLE>L-139   In the Book of Revelation, as I'm writing, one man who is translating or grammarizing... My grammar is so poor, I've got a--a good scholar to grammarize it, put the right nouns and pronouns together. Which, I don't know which is the difference between a noun and a pronoun. But, but he does, and he is putting them all... I know, only thing I know, God gives It to me and I just write It down, see. And, they, they have to put it so if it goes into schools and things, they--they know that can read it more in their way of understanding. And then the writer said to me, the grammar, the man that's grammarizing it, said to me, he said, "But, Brother Branham, we find in the Pergamos church age... That, Jesus said here, 'he that overcometh, I will give him the Morning Star.' Give him the Morning Star?" He said, "Now how could he get the Morning Star, when Jesus said, Himself, that He is the Morning Star?"

L-140   See, all those seeds of Abraham are reflected by stars. They different one from another, and we'll different one from another. And Jesus is that Morning Star, the brightest of all of them. But we find Him, in Revelation 1, with seven stars in His hand. He interprets that, and said, "These seven stars are the seven angels to the seven churches, or the seven church ages that's coming."

L-141 Then he said, "How could it be then, if they got the Morning Star?"

L-142 I said, "The stars that were in His hand were only the reflection stars from the Morning Star, see, for the messenger of that day had the Word." And He is the Word; he just had the portion for that day. And the people that's ready to come away from the world systems and world things, and walk with Him, sees the reflection of the Morning Star through the messenger of that age. As He did through Noah and through Moses, and so forth, as He reflected the Old Testament, finally they all arrived to One. And so will it at the end of the church ages, it'll all arrive back to Jesus, that He is the Word.

L-143   We as Christians are only reflecting Him. The moon only reflects the sun, in its absence. And the believer only reflects the Son of God, in the absence of the Son of God. It's the Light of the Bible, the Scriptures, being vindicated in our lives, the Word that makes Light in darkness. You are candles that sets upon a hill. That ain't the sun; it's a candle. The candle just takes the place of the sun, just shows a certain amount of light. We are God's children, we are sons and daughters of God, only by the Spirit with portion. He had It without a portion. We are a star that's shining, all of us together make a Light to the world, but He is the entire Son that reflects the Light to every star. Hallelujah! I believe Him. God help my unbelief!

L-144   Finally, this perfect One arrived. Now, He arrived to be tempted in every point just like we are. The Bible said He was. He was tempted like Noah. He was tempted like Moses. He was tempted like all the rest of them. If we had time to break that down and show you, but we haven't, 'cause I don't want to take too much of your time. But, to break it down and show you, He was tempted in the same manner.

L-145 Satan never changes his tactic, neither does God, just changes ages. But what... Satan got in back there, to the first family of God, on earth. Here it is brother, sister. Don't fail to get this. How did Satan get the first family? He couldn't break it no other way but to get that Word broke, for they were fortified behind that Word. If he could only get one gap!

L-146 That's how he has got every church in every age, got every believer, just pull that gap out. "Well, I--I believe the Bible is right, but I don't believe that." Oh, there he'd go. Too bad, but there he went.
"Every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God!"
