Exo 12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth,
about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside
children.
Exo 12:38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and
herds, even very much cattle.
Now remember this. Christ in the True Church is a continuation of the Book of Acts. But the Book of Revelation shows how that the antichrist spirit would come into the church and defile it, making it lukewarm, formal and powerless. It exposes Satan, revealing his works (attempted destruction of God's people and the discrediting of God's word) right down to the time he is cast into the lake of fire. He fights that. He cannot stand it. He knows that if the people get the TRUE REVELATION of the TRUE CHURCH and what she is, what she stands for and that SHE CAN DO THE GREATER WORKS, she will be an invincible army. If they get a true revelation of the two spirits within the framework of the Christian church, and by God's Spirit discern and withstand the antichrist spirit, Satan will be powerless before her. He will be as definitely thwarted today as when Christ withstood his every effort to gain power over Him in the desert. Yes, Satan hates revelation. But we love it. With true revelation in our lives, the gates of hell cannot prevail against us, but we will prevail over them.
78 The church
settles down. See, it cannot go on. Esau was a very good type of the carnal
believer today, never able to overcome the world. He don't overcome the things
of the world. They still like their carousing, their dancing, their manicure
makeups, and, the women, on their faces, and--and cutting their hair and--and
wearing little old short clothes; and--and men likes to go out to the poolrooms,
and--and smoke cigarettes, and tell little dirty jokes; and still belong to the
church. They're never able to overcome those things: neither could Esau. But
yet, to be religious, he had to settle down to an intellectual conception.
That's the same thing the church does today. "We'll become an organization.
We'll put ourself together. We'll make a clan, or a clique, or something like
that."
And that's the way the church moves today, the spiritual and the carnal, still the same. It hasn't changed and never
will change.
E-57 Now, when he
passed by the mount of Esau, passed by the organization, what did he do? Now,
there was Moab. Sure, Moab was an organization. Said, "You'll pass through his
land. Don't--don't say a word to him. I give him that." Now, He gave the
Methodists their place. He gave the Baptists their place. He give the
Pentecostal organizations their place. Don't say a word to them. Just pass right
on by and say, "How do you do, brother? How do you do?"
"But Jacob, we're on our way to Jordan."
Amen, on our way to Jordan. If they say, "Well now, listen. What..." Well, don't
make any difference what they say, say, "Thank you, brother. God be with you,
brother." Just pass by quietly. Don't say nothing, but keep on towards Jordan,
'cause we're going up to take the promised land; it's give to us, the fullness
of the power of God. Jesus said, "The things that I do, you do
also."
1132-319 Their
seed is strong. Like look here. Abraham married his own sister. Why, if a man'd
marry his sister today, his children would be idiots. See? But the human... And
here Jacob--or--or Isaac married Rebekah which was his own cousin, own blood
cousin at that, blood relation (See?), Abraham's brother's child.
Notice, notice now, on this (See?),there's--the human race was so strong. Now, if you notice it's always been twins
all along. There was... Cain and Abel were twins, and Esau and Jacob were twins.
Jesus and Judas come out of the same tribe and in the same church. And the--even
the Holy Spirit and the antichrist is to be twins, so close that would deceive
the very elected if possible. Have you got it? All right.
135 There is always twins. And that's the reason... Don't forget this, little flock. The church in the last days is going to be twins, "so close that it'll deceive the Elected..." Matthew 24: 24, see. The church is going to... It's a Pentecostal move. It's so much like the real thing, till it would deceive the very Elected if it was possible. And a little later on, if I get the chance, I want to explain what, how that election comes. See, it's going to deceive them because it's almost like the same thing. See, just two fathers, that's all; same mother, same church, same movement, same thing. The bedding ground is the same, where the Word falls; but one of them, like here, is perverted. You understand? Say "amen" if you did see. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See, one of them is a perversion, because it's the wrong father. Which, I will prove someday, if God will let me, that denomination is the mark of the beast. See, it's the wrong father, he is stirring people to an organization instead of to the Word. See, it's the wrong father. It's a Cain move.
Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs,and false prophets,and shall show great signs and wonders;insomuch that,ifit were possible,they shall deceive the very elect.
139
He chooses His own person by His foreknowledge. Like He said in Romans 8 here,
that Esau... that the--that the election of God might stand sure. That Esau and
Jacob both borned of holy parents, twins, that His election might stand sure and
true, He said, "I hate Esau, and love Jacob," before either boy was borned. See?
He knows what's in man, He knowed it from the beginning what it was, therefore
He can make everything work just exactly on clock time. We get all nervous and
flusterated; you never seen Him flusterated, they don't. See? Everything's
working all right, just exactly, the clock's ticking.
140 These things that's supposed to happen, all these women with short hair, and these man wearing
their... like they got hair like their wives. I see them, absolutely, have these
roller-curlers in their hair, curl it up here in front. What a perversion!
That's the results of Satan's Eden. And look...?... She's trying to cut her hair
like her husband. Her husband's letting his hair grow like his wife. And she is
wearing his clothes, and he's wearing her underneath clothes. See, there you
are. She's getting masculine, and he's getting feminish. See, it's Satan's Eden,
contrary to what God made it at the beginning. That's the
Truth.
141
If I don't get started, we'll never get into this. But these things, and the way
for Him to do it, and who will do it, that's His Own chosen way, He chooses.
That's the way He wants it done.
142 As I heard Brother Pearry Green, our pastor at Tucson, preaching the other night about how that God
made things some way (I forget what his text was), but he said, "That's the way
God likes it, that's the way God does it." Well, that's right.
143 Now, who is it among us that's going to tell Him, "He's wrong"? Who would dare to stand up in
God's face, and say, "You're wrong, Lord, You should do it the way I want it
done, the way Dr. So-and-so said it should be done"? Who is that far gone in
their mental faculties, to say a thing like that? No, you wouldn't come out and
say it, but you think it!
Now it is easy to get a wrong impression
of what we are talking about because I am making this so strong. It could sound
to you as though this anti-Word, antichrist spirit, is a complete repudiation of
the Word, a denial of the Bible culminating in its rejection. No sir. It is not
that.
What it is, is Revelation 22:18,19, "For I testify unto every man that
heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these
things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the Book
of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this
book."It is the changing of even just ONE word by taking away or adding to it. It is the original trick of Satan in the Garden
of Eden. He just added one little word to what God had said. That did it. It
brought death and destruction. And in Ephesus, it was just the same. Just a word
added, just a word taken away, and the anti-Word, antichrist spirit began to
flourish.
Did you get it now? There are those twins again. There are those two trees again, growing side by side in the same earth, partaking of the same nourishment, drinking in the same rain, and benefiting by the same sun. But they come from DIFFERENT seeds. One tree is FOR the Word of God, exactly as God gave it, and loves and obeys it. The other tree is from the seed that is anti the Word of God and changes it where it wants to. It substitutes its own creeds and dogmas for the living true Word exactly as did Cain, who ended up killing Abel. But fear not little flock. Stay with the Word. Keep that Word between you and the devil. Eve did not do that and she failed. And when the church lets down on the Word she goes into the depths of the darkness of Satan.
Now we can see why there were two vines, one true and one false. Now we can see why Abraham had two sons, one after the flesh (that persecuted Isaac) and one after promise. Now we can see how that out of the same parents two boys came forth as twins, one knowing and loving the things of God, and the other knowing much of the same truth, but not of the same Spirit, and hence persecuted the child that was elect. God did not reprobate for the sake of reprobation. He reprobated for the sake of the elect. ELECT CANNOT persecute elect. ELECT CANNOT harm elect. It is the reprobates that persecute and destroy the elect. Oh, those reprobates are religious. They are smart. They are of the Cain line, the serpent seed. They build their Babels, they build their cities, they build their empires, and all the while calling on God. They hate the true seed, and they will do all they can, (even in the Name of the Lord) to destroy God's elect ones. But they are needed. "What is the chaff to the wheat?" No chaff, no wheat. But at the end, what happens to the chaff? It is burned with fire unquenchable. And the wheat? Where is it? It is gathered in His garner. It is where He is.
Oh elect of God, beware. Study closely. Be careful. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Rely upon God and be strong in His might. Your adversary, the devil, is even now going about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Watch unto prayer and be steadfast. This is the end time. Both the true and false vine are coming into maturity, but before the wheat matures, those ripened tares must be bound for the burning. See, they are all joining the World Council Of Churches. That is the binding. Soon the garnering of the wheat will come. But right now the two spirits are at work in two vines. Come out from among the tares. Start to overcome that you may be considered praiseworthy for your Lord, and fit to reign and rule with Him.
