<TITLE>06. Par 51-60</TITLE>L-51 The trinity of the devil; death, hell, and the grave; for Satan is the author of death, he is the possessor of hell, and also the grave. And that was the trinity of Satan, being caused by one thing, that was death. Death, you go at the grave; and being a sinner, you go to hell. All the very one thing, the trinity of Satan, which was death. That had held man in captivity all these years.

L-52   But now the true trinity of God, being One manifested in Christ, Who was Life, and had broke the Seals and conquered the enemy, and rose up, the one true and living God. "I am He that was dead, and I'm alive forevermore, and have the keys of death and hell." God, in One, made Man, and dwelt among us, and conquered every enemy. And had proved that the trinity of Satan was conquered, and that the trinity of God was made known, 'cause only God alone had power to bring Life back again. He was that Emmanuel. God had been manifested in the flesh.

L-53 No wonder He could claim there, Matthew the 27th chapter, "All powers in Heaven and earth is given into My hand. I send you to be My witnesses, to all the world." He had conquered both death, hell, and the grave. Not only did He do that; and come out, triumph, with all the power in Heavens and the earth. All that was the Father, all that was the Holy Ghost, and all that there ever was, was in Him. "All powers in Heaven and in earth is given unto Me." Everything else is powerless. He had conquered it.

L-54   Now! And then, not only that, He sent Word to His disciples, His believing. "Fear not, for I am He that was dead, and is alive again forevermore. And I have the keys to death and hell; I've already conquered it. Don't fear anymore, for every foreordained, predestinated Seed of God shall come to Life when that Light spreads across the earth, of the glorious Gospel. In every age, It'll bring forth the crop that God ordained It to do." He had raised from the dead.

L-55 Oh, what a wonderful thing that is, "I am alive, or quickened." The word means, the word quickened, the Greek word means that's something that's "made alive after death."

L-56 Like the--the seed that goes into the earth, it has to die, every bit of the seed. It has to rot, every bit of the seed. And every bit of the life, that was in the seed, has to come forth again.

L-57 He was "quickened." Not only that. "And will send the same Life that quickened Me, the Power that brought Me from the grave, I will send It upon you, to quicken you, that where I am there ye will be also."

L-58   In Luke, 24th chapter, 49th verse. He said, "Behold, I send the promise of the Father upon you; but tarry ye, or wait ye, in the city of Jerusalem, until you be endued with Power from on High." To show that not only did He draw all the benefits out of it, but He shared those benefits.

L-59 He come to redeem, or to bring to Life, those predestinated Seed that God seen before the foundation of the world and put their names in the Book of Life. And here they are on the earth, without a hope; He came not only to be the Blessing, but to share the Blessing with every predestinated Seed. Now, if the Seed wasn't on the earth, it could not live. It had to be on the earth, and also germitized. No matter how long It's kept in darkness, It'll come forth when the S-o-n shines upon It. Notice now, He come to share It with us.

L-60   No wonder the Gospel is good news. The very word Gospel means "the good news." The good news, what? If a man died for our sake, that's good news. If Christ was born, that's good news. But never a news, never was there news like this news, that, He Who made the promise has confirmed the promise. Then, "He's alive forevermore, and have the keys of both death and hell, in His hand." All the gloom was shook away. There was no more gloom to be seen, for the Son was up from the grave. There was no, "Well, He will come, or He may come." He had already come, the Gospel, good news!
