IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?   (1962-12-30E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(46-1)  Where are we at, sirs?  What's all of this about?  I'm asking you.

The other angels was messengers, men of the earth.  But this Angel...  This said, to the angel of the church of Laodicea; to the angel of the church of Ephesus, messengers of the earth (See?), men, messengers, prophets, and so forth to the church.  But this One didn't come from the earth; He come down from heaven, because the mystery's all finished.  And when the mystery's finished, the Angel said, "Time shall be no more," and seven thunders throwed their voices out.

What if it is something to let us know how to enter in to the rapturing faith.  Is it?  Will we run and leap over walls?  Is there something fixing to happen, and these old marred, vile bodies are going to be changed?  Can I live to see it, O Lord?  Is it so close that I'll see it?  Is this the generation?  Sirs, my brethren, what time is it?  Where are we at?"

IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR?   (1962-12-30E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(51-5)  Sunday I come down here to speak, and I--I tried to shake myself from it by speaking. Monday it was there again.   And it's here now.  And I don't know; I don't know, sirs.  I'm only honest with you as my brothers.  I don't know.

Is it--is it time?  Is the minist--the mystery all finished?  Has the sounding all over?  Is that really them seven thunders fixing to utter out something that the little group that He's gathered together will receive a rapturing faith to go in the rapture when He comes; for we'll be changed as quick as those Angels come: in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up together with those that is asleep to meet the Lord in the air.

My prayer is: God if this be so, I don't know Lord; I just telling the church.  If it is so, Lord, prepare our hearts.  Make us ready, Lord, for that great hour that all the history of time, all the prophets and sages has looked for that time.  Lord, I don't know what to say.  I'd be afraid to say, "Don't come Lord."  I feel ashamed of myself when I look and see the world in the condition; I've done no more than what I've done about it; I'm ashamed of myself.  If there is a tomorrow, Lord, anoint my heart; anoint me greater, Father, that I can do everything that I can to bring others to You.  I'm Yours.

(128-2) {75}  And then there's coming forth seven mysterious thunders that's not even written at all. That's right.   And I believe that through those seven thunders will be revealed in the last days in order to get the Bride together for rapturing faith; because what we got right now, we--we wouldn't be able to do it.  There's something we've got to step farther; we--we can't have enough faith for Divine healing hardly.   We've got to have enough faith to be changed in a moment and be swept up out of this earth, and we'll find that after a while, the Lord willing, find where it's written.

THE FIRST SEAL  (1963-03-18, Jeffersonville, IN)

(142-1) {166}  But think, now he wrote this, but when he started to write those other seven thunders, he said, "Don't write it."  He'd been commissioned to write everything he seen.  But when these seven thunders over in Revelations 10 uttered, he said, "Don't write them at all."  They're mysteries.  We don't know what they are yet; but my opinion they'll be revealed right away. And when it do, it'll give faith for that rapturing grace for that Church to move out.  We just move through everything that we know of; through all the dispensations we've watched everything. We've seen the mysteries of God.  We've seen the appearing of the--of the great gathering together of the Bride in the last days, but yet there's something in there that we just can't lighten ourself with.  There's something another.  But I imagine when them mysteries begins to come forth...  God said, "Hold it back now.  Wait a minute.  I'll reveal it in that day.  Don't write it at all, John, 'cause they'll stagger over it.  Just let--let it go.  (See?)  But I'll reveal it in that day when it has need to done."

They never uttered for nothing.  You remember, like the little drop of ink, everything is for a purpose.  Everything's for a cause.  But notice, the Creator uttered, and he had a--he heard this voice, and he went to see.

THE FIRST SEAL  (1963-03-18, Jeffersonville, IN)

(155-2) {259}  Seven thunders of revelation...  May He show the Bride how to prepare for the great translation faith.  (Now, let's hurry up because we haven't got about fifteen or twenty minutes yet.)

Now, what does this white horse mean?  Let me read this.  I've been so far off.  Excuse me for getting off my subject, but--but I'll read the verse again, the two verses.

And I saw when the Lamb had opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it was the noise of thunder, and one of the four beasts saying, Come... see.

And I saw, and behold a white horse:... (Now, we're going to the 2nd verse)... a white horse: and he that set on him had a bow; and a crown was given... him:... (He didn't have it then.)... unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.  (That's all of that.  That's the seal.)

THE SECOND SEAL  (1963-03-19, Jeffersonville, IN)

(225-6) {350}  God, help our unbelief.  Take it away from us, Lord.  We want to receive rapturing grace.  We want to be able when that mysterious thunder thunders out yonder, and the Church is taken up, we want to be ready to receive it, Lord.  Grant it.  Try us, Lord, by Thy Word.  Let us look into It, and if we see that we have failed...

If there are those here, Lord, who were baptized in titles, knowing nothing about the real true baptism, may I be as faithful as Paul when he passed through the upper coast of Ephesus and he found disciples screaming and shouting and having a glorious time.  He said unto them, "Have you received then the Holy Ghost since you believed?"   They know not whether there be any.  He said, "Then to what was you baptized?"  And they'd been baptized by that glorious holy prophet, but they only baptized unto repentance; then they were rebaptized in the Name of Jesus Christ.  And Paul commanded them to be baptized over again.

LOOK AWAY TO JESUS  (1963-12-29E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(6-3)  Now, I must continue in evangelism, just as I was commissioned first; I must continue on. Therefore, you've had the Word, and you know what to look for, how to stand.  I must continue on in evangelism.  And friends of mine, keep still and just keep moving on, for the hour is approaching swiftly (See?), that when something is going to be done.

Now, you might see some little odd things happen from me, nothing sinful, I don't mean that, but I mean something odd to what the regular trend, because what I have reached to now in the ministry, I'm dropping back here, watching that spot and waiting for the time to use it.   But it's going to be used.  And everyone knows that for as certain as the first was identified, so has the second been identified; and if you'll think real closely, you who are spiritual (as the Bible said, "Here's to him who has wisdom.") the third is properly identified.   See?  We know where it is.  So the third pull is here.

LOOK AWAY TO JESUS  (1963-12-29E, Jeffersonville, IN)

(6-5)  It is so sacred that I mustn't not say much about it, as He told me in the beginning.  Said, "This, say nothing of it."  You remember that years ago?  It speaks for Itself.  See?  But to...  I've tried to explain the others, and I made a mistake.  This will be the thing that, to my opinion (I don't say the Lord tells me this.)--this will be the thing that will start the rapturing faith for the going away.   See, see?  Now, and that... I must lay quiet for just a little while.

Now, remember (and who's listening to this tape) you might see such a change in my ministry right away, dropping back...  Not going up, dropping back...  We're right at the age now, and it be--can't go any further.  We have to wait here just a minute until this happens over here to catch up, then the time comes.  But it's thoroughly identified.
