“The
Revelation of One God Pt.14” (Part of The Mystery)
I PETER
1:6
6 ¶ Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now
for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
I PETER 1:7
7 That the trial of your faith, being much
more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it
be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour
and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
I PETER 1:8
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom,
though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and
full of glory:
I PETER 1:9
9 Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the
salvation of [your] souls.
I PETER 1:10
10 ¶ Of which salvation the prophets have
enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should
come] unto you:
I PETER 1:11
11 Searching what, or
what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it
testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should
follow.
I PETER 1:12
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto
themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported
unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost
sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
I PETER 1:13
13 ¶ Wherefore gird up the loins of your
mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto
you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

That's the very reason that Jesus was not understood when He came to the
earth. If they would've only looked into the Word of God, instead of their--of
their tradition of that day, they would've knowed He
was the Son of God. Because the Bible plainly declared His full coming, and He
come in full revelation of the Word.
And each generation reveals Him in the full revelation
that's lotted for that time. This generation
must reveal Jesus Christ. That's the revelation of Him that's promised in the
Word, must be revealed to this generation. If the churches won't receive it,
somebody will rise up and do it.
'Cause
John said, "God is able of these stones to rise
children unto Abraham. Don't think to say within yourself, 'We have Abraham to
our father,' for God is able of these stones to rise
children to Abraham."

74-1 He, the Head, is the Firstfruits
of the resurrection. (We'll go off this revelation. Just a
little while longer, if you say so. All right, all right; just a little
bit now.) He is the Firstfruits of the resurrection.
Is that right? What? Then what is He? He's the Head of the Body, which is His
Church, Bride. Uh-huh. Then the Bride-body must
follow the Head, for it is part of His resurrection and part of the mystery.
It's impossible for it not to go. Oh, my. It's part of God's mystery. How God
revealed Himself here and raised it up by the Word, so He reveals
the Church and raises it up by the same Word. It's a part of His threefold
mystery.

36-4 Look, Christ in you makes Him
the center of Life of the revelation. See? Christ's Life in you makes Him the
center of the revelation. Christ in the Bible, makes
the Bible a complete revelation of Christ. Christ in you makes you the complete
revelation of the whole thing. See what God's trying to do?
What is the new birth then? You say, "Well, Brother Branham,
what is the new birth?" It is the revelation of Jesus Christ personally to
you. Amen. See? Not you joined a church, you shook a hand; you done something
different; you said a creed; you promised to live by a code of rules; but
Christ, the Bible... He is the Word that was revealed to you. And no matter
what anybody says, what takes place, it's Christ. Pastor, priest, whatever it
might be... It's Christ in you. That is a--the revelation that the Church was
built upon.

22-4 Notice, God has had a
threefold purpose in this great mystery secret. God, in His great mystery
secret that He had before the world began, He's got a threefold purpose in it.
And now, what we want to go upon this morning is: What is that threefold
purpose? See? Now, I believe by the help of the--of God, Who's present,
and--He--He'll show it to us.

24-5 Now, that's when He can express
the preeminences. You see? He's got the man or the
person so that he knows nothing but Christ. You get what I mean? All right. That's secondly.
First, to express Hisself completely: God in
Christ. Second, to have the preeminences by this in
His Church (which is His Body, Bride) to... He could have the preeminence to
express Himself through them. All right.
And thirdly, to restore the Kingdom to its rightly position that fell by sin by the first
Adam, back to where He walked in the cool of the evening with His people,
talked with them, fellowshipped with them. And now sin and death had separated
them from His Presence and His entire expression. Do you read it? Before the
foundation of the world to express all of His attributes, what He was...
