Quotes used in the sermon "Announcing the Mystery"
9 ¶ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of
them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
REVELATION 6:10
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
REVELATION 6:11
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them,
that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also
and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
MALACHI 4:5
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and
dreadful day of the LORD:
MALACHI 4:6

the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

343-4 {71} But then when we
get to the Fifth Seal, there's no beast. Now, just notice.
And when he had
opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar...
Right quick (See?), there's no--there's
no beast there, and a beast represents power.
We know that. See?
There's no living creature.
Now, one of those creatures, we find out in studying the--the--the revelation in
the churches, that the--one of them had the--was
a lion; and the other
one--the other one
was an ox; and
the other one
was a man; and the
other one was an eagle. We find
out in the church ages that those four beasts, meaning four powers, was
gathered around the Acts of the Apostles
just the way that the--the tabernacle in the wilderness, and...

345-4 {83} Now, notice. I
love this. As in the times of the rider of the four horses, the rider, singular,
of the four different horses, there
was
a beast that announced the power. Every-time the rider straddled another
horse and come forth to ride, another kind of
a
beast come out and announced it.
That's a great mystery. See?
That is the
mystery... Why?
Announcing
the mystery.
Why isn't there one here on the Fifth
Seal to announce it? Here it is. According to the revelation that the Lord Jesus
gave me today (See?), or this morning, early; that is that the mystery of the
church ages are already finished at this time. The mystery of the
antichrist is revealed at this time. The
antichrist took his last ride, and we found him on the pale horse mixed
with his many colors, and rides all the way into perdition. (We get it on the
trumpets and so forth when we--we teach that. I go into it now, but we get plumb
off the subject again.)

345-6 {85} And we--we go...
he rides... That's the reason there's no
one there. Now, we know written 'cause some reasons for something. Now,
you remember at the first beginning, I said, "There can't be nothing without a
reason."
Remember the little drop of ink? See? Now, you got to find the reason.
There was some reason they didn't have
to have a beast or a
power to
announce this Seal being broke, and
only God can reveal why (That's
all.), because it's all--all lays in
Him.

346-2 {87}
But the reason that He reveals,
that I--as I understand, that it is
because the mystery of the Book of Redemption, as far
as the antichrist being revealed... And
at the same time the Church is gone, and
these things don't even happen in the
church age at
all. That's
right. They're--they're away from the
church age. The Church absolutely is raptured at this time. The Church goes up
in the
4th chapter of Revelation,
and does not return until it comes back
with its King in the 19th chapter. But
these Seals here are revealing
what has been, what is, and what will
be. See? And now, what was to be for the church age was revealed by these
Seals, and now, watch what takes it.

346-3 {88} The--the four
stages of his rider has been revealed. The four stages of the
antichrist riding has been revealed at
this time;
therefore, they don't
have to have anymore. And
there
was four living creatures of God to announce the rider as they rode.
Four
beasts are four powers.
Now, we know that "beast," by interpretation of the terms of the Bible symbols,
means "power." Now, let's get that close. The four are beasts in the Bible
represent a power among the people. Now, if we find out... Like in Daniel when
he saw a certain nation rise up, it would be maybe a bear holding a rib in his
side: symbol. Then he seen another power raise up, a goat; it represented
something. Then he seen another power raise up, and--and it was a leopard with
so many heads; it represented a certain Kingdom. Then he saw another one rise
up--a great lion with teeth and--and stomped the residue; that represented a
different power altogether.
One was a--a Kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar, and another type of a dream. Daniel saw
a vision. Nebuchadnezzar dreamed a dream, but Daniel interpreted his dream, and
it was correctly with the vision. Amen. Whew.

755-55 Now, what I would
think would be this, brethren, that like in the church here... Now, I--the--my
ministry has, the best of my thinking, four things that can be done, and it
might not be either four, but that's the only outlook I can think of. If that
One that spoke to me down there on the river... If this is all that was left for
the Gentile church, which we realize in
Revelations it says one, two, three
chapters to the church. The church goes
up in the 4th chapter. It does not return anymore till the 19th chapter; that's
after the
tribulation period when
God calls out the Jews. That's right.
And like Enoch, he went up before one drop of rain ever hit the earth. He was
gone, then the tribulation set in. See? Noah was in the ark before any
tribulation set in. Lot was out of Sodom before any tribulation set in. See? And
the church will be gone before any tribulation period.
Now, during the tribulation that will be, the sleeping virgin will be hunted
down by the dragon (spurts "water from his mouth," which is--means "multitudes
and peoples, armies") that'll search down and take this woman, remnant of her
seed, and will kill her. Now, that will be in the tribulation period, but the
church will go home. Now, if--if that take--would take place tomorrow, it
wouldn't hinder us from just keeping on today. Let's make today count.

6-5 Now, I've begin to
notice at the preaching of the Seven Church Ages, which is the--the
pattern, or the forecast of all that God
was going to do for the churches,
and through the churches, and positionally setting them up.
The first three chapters of the Book of
Revelations reveals all the happenings
unto the Church. Then from the 3rd chapter unto the 19th chapter of Revelation
there is no more
seen of the
Church. The Church
goes up at the
4th chapter of Revelations and returns back at the 19th chapter of Revelations,
the Bride and the Groom together coming
to the earth. And then from the 19th chapter to the conclusive of the
22nd chapter, it's all on the millennium and what will be in the years that is
to follow. During the 4th to the 19th,
God is dealing with Israel.
