<TITLE>02. Par 12-19</TITLE>L-12   And so there He spoke to me, and said, "The Seven Seals will be opened. The seven mysteries, seven-fold mystery of the Bible, that's been closed up since the foundation of the world, will be revealed." And we, yet a humble little group, compared with all the world, we've enjoyed these blessings, a hearing those mysteries. Marriage, divorce, serpent's seed, all these different questions, has been completely revealed to us, not by man, but by God, Himself, that's opened those seven mysteries; of what the Church was, how It was in Christ at the beginning, and how It would be revealed in the last day.

L-13 And now, as this went up, we have the picture outside on the plaque. But, then, I have the picture laying present here, if you notice, as Life magazine had it. But I wonder if my audience, visible here, has ever really looked at the picture, see, see, in the way it should be.

L-14   You remember, I was preaching when this vision came, upon the subject of the Book of the Revelations, where the old judges, where we seen Jesus in Revelations 1. When we started to open the Seven Seals... or the--or the Church Ages, rather, just prior to the opening of the Seven Seals. Christ was standing with "hair like wool, white." And I described that to you, that the old English judges, and judges of long ago, when they went to the bench, to be sworn in, their supreme authority was given them. They wore a white wig, as it was, over their heads, to show their supreme authority.

L-15   Well, if you'll turn the picture like this and look, you can probably see it from the audience, it's Christ. See His eyes looking here, just as perfect as it could be; wearing the white wig of Supreme Deity and Judge of all heavens and earth. Can you see His eyes, nose, His mouth? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Just turn the picture from this, the way they had it; this a way, the way it's supposed to be. And you... Can you see it? ["Amen."] He is Supreme Judge. There is none other but Him. And that is a perfect identification again, a vindication that this Message is the Truth. This is the Truth. It is true. And making Him not a third Person, but the only Person!

L-16 With the white, see, you see the dark, His face, His beard, and His eyes. And notice, He is looking... From Him comes this Light shining on the righthand side, to which He's looking to. And on the cross, that's where He looked, to the right, where He pardoned the sinner. In the Light of His resurrection, we still go forth in His Name.

L-17   I wish, this morning, that I had just much time to--to spend upon these phenomena that's beyond any shadow of doubt, been proven for the past thirty years, or thirty-five years, right here at this church; since down on the river, when that same Light came down here in Jeffersonville, in 1933, and spoke those words, "As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, your Message will forerun the second." We're at the end time, and we see it. We wonder sometimes why it hasn't spread over the earth; maybe sometime we'll have a chance to explain that, if God willing.

L-18   Now I want you to turn in--in your Bibles, as we always believe that the Word must come first, of the reading of the Word. I always read That, because It... My words is the word of a man, it will fail; but the Word of God can never fail.

L-19 Now we're going to--to read from the Holy Scriptures, a text. And we want you to turn, first, to three places in the Bible, that I have chosen to read from. One of them is in Revelations, the 1st chapter, and the 17th and 18th verse; this is where He appeared with "His hair white as wool; and His feet was like brass." And then I want you also to get, in your Bibles, Romans 8:11. I have chosen, this morning, three places to read, from the Holy Scriptures, for my Message today, that the Lord has placed upon my heart for the resurrection. And then I want you to, also, Mark 16:1 and 2. There I will draw my--my context.
