<TITLE>29. Par 196-202</TITLE>L-196   Notice, let me give you a little example. Look at those people who come out under Moses' prophecy, come out of that organization, and come out of everything, under the prophecy, saw the great works and wonders, and things like that, and come up to the borderline of going in.
Now, Lee, there comes your "name on the Book." See? You've got it fixed out. And you that's not here, and out in the--on the hook-ups, it's Doctor Lee Vayle setting here. He is grammarizing this book of the Seven Church Ages. And the problem come up, or the question, about your "name taken off the Lamb's Book of Life." See, it's puzzled a lot of ministers. But wait till you get the book, you'll understand it if you just got any Light in you. See?

L-197 Notice, now, you'll turn your head and won't even look at It if you don't want to see It. Like my mother used to say, "You can't get blood from a turnip, 'cause there's no blood in it."

L-198   Notice, the Light has to come; it's not in darkness. The Light comes to the darkness, and the darkness perceives It not. Notice now the anointed ones in this day.
As Moses brought out those children of Israel; and they listened and got all confused with that great nation up there. Now, Israel was interdenominational. It had no land, had no home. It was going to a home.
We have no church. We're no... We're--we're going to a Church, the Church of the Firstborn, the Church that's in Glory; not the church that's on earth, by a man. The Church that's in Glory, the called-out ones, predestinated to Eternal Life, see, going to their Home.
And when they come up to the place to cross over, they doubted the Word, and come back. After Joshua and Caleb and them had went over and brought back a bunch of grapes, to prove to them the land was there, the Word of God's promise, "It's a good land, milk and honey." And brought it back, on this side, to prove it to them. And they tasted of it, and said, "Oh, oh, we can't do it, though." What happened? They perished in the wilderness. They stayed right there and organized themselves, and died, every one of them.
But the ones that went over and brought back, Joshua and Caleb; Moses was translated. A type of the waiting for the Church; and the resurrection of the Old Testament, New Testament; and the raptured Body. See the three there? Have to keep them three's in line, see, so, in the believer and unbeliever. See?

L-199   Notice how it was "totally." Remember, God never did forgive that sin. Now how they going to come in? If it's thorns, to begin with, it's thorns at the end. Only the predestinated will see It.

L-200   Notice closely now. Just like in the days of Saint Martin, right before the Dark Ages; a godly little man. How many ever read the writings of Saint Martin? Many of you have. We went down to get the writings of Saint Martin; the priest said, "But he wasn't canonized." Sure, he wasn't; not by them, but he was by God. The Holy Spirit told us to put him there on that third church age. See?

L-201   Look what a godly little man he was; called, predestinated. His parents, heathen. His daddy, a soldier. He had to follow his line, to be a soldier. And, when he did, and always believed that there was a God somewhere; a man of the woods, and could see God. One day he passed by a city, and there was an old bum laying there, dying, asking somebody... He was cold that night. "Oh," said, "give me something to cover me up; I'll die tonight."

L-202   Nobody would do it. And Martin stayed off to one side and watched him for a while. Nobody would do it. He only had one coat. He'd freeze, hisself, he was on duty, if he--he give him that coat. So he thought, "Both of us have a chance to live if I'll divide with him." So he took his own coat, and split it in two with his saber, and wrapped the old bum in it. He wrapped his own coat around.
Everybody said, "Look what a funny-looking sentry. Look what a funny-looking soldier, half a coat wrapped around him!"
