  1. He's something else, isn't he? You already knew that.

  2. But I need to remind you. What an honor, what a blessing,

  3. what a privilege. Be with y'all, I guess y'all say

  4. y'all here, don't you? OK, Amen.

  5. What a beautiful gathering. We've looked forward to this

  6. ever since the phone call and we're we're honored to be here.

  7. Thank the Lord for the blessings of the Lord's presence, without

  8. which we might as well go home. But he's here, so let's stay a

  9. little while long. Amen.

  10. I'm especially as well blessed to see Bishop McGee.

  11. He just inspires me every time I go to the camp meeting or

  12. something and I look for him and I know he's what what, 7776?

  13. He acts like he's 21. I get jealous of him, but it's

  14. such an honesty. Bishop McGee and and all of you.

  15. McGee hides man, of course, to this sweet couple, your pastor,

  16. sweet pastor, your man, this pastor.

  17. I remember that pregnant night. It worked, didn't it?

  18. Lo, and a hole. She's here, but what a privilege

  19. to be here. God bless you.

  20. This has been on my mind for probably before you call even,

  21. but it's going to be different. I don't know exactly how to

  22. introduce myself here about what I want to say, but I I gave

  23. brother, your pastor contacted me, text me one.

  24. Oh, get together a text and all, the all the passages, all the

  25. scriptures. And so I gave it and you're

  26. doing good. We're going to read one verse of

  27. Scripture, the Book of Revelation, chapter 1.

    Revelation 1 chapter mention

  28. Share with you what's again, what's on my mind at least I

  29. need, I need to get it off, if you will, and deliver it.

  30. I fixed my phone here. It's it.

  31. It told me I asked your pastor how long I need to talk or

  32. something like that. He gave me a pretty good idea.

  33. So I've, I've got it said, what is it?

  34. 2 hours? And no, no, no, it's not.

  35. But anyway, I see that big old clock back there that tell me,

  36. have you got a bell to ring up there?

  37. So when I get when I get to a certain certain point, Amen.

  38. Isn't this all right? Can't you laugh in church, Amen.

  39. God makes us feel good. Amen.

  40. But anyway, in Revelation chapter 1, well, look there I

    Revelation 1 chapter mention

  41. got I see a lot of Bibles. Usually you see these things.

  42. And so the the reason I'm looking is the heading of your

  43. Bible. What does it say?

  44. Somebody read that in the heading.

  45. Do what? At the top of the Bible?

  46. OK, well, you, you're, you're, you.

  47. Yours is different. Usually in fact, I spoke this

  48. one time, Brother Moses and Olad Olad Rowlett and sister Sister

  49. Moses. But she had a big old vibe about

  50. bigger than yours. I think I asked the same thing

  51. and and she read it off and I I said, where'd you get your

  52. Bible? She said Walmart.

  53. I said, well, enough said. But even my, my Scofield says

  54. the revelation of Saint John the divine and that St.

  55. I think that's what probably the majority of Bibles.

  56. This is not what God said. This is not what God wrote.

  57. This is not what John wrote. This is what the publisher put

  58. in. I don't need the publisher.

  59. I know who the book's about, and it's not the revelation of John.

  60. Read first the very first verse, and it tells you who this is all

  61. about, the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him

  62. to show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass.

  63. And he sent and signified it by his Angel unto his servant John.

  64. God, I thank you. It is indeed a blessing upon me.

  65. And honor, oh Lord, to be in this gathering, the first

  66. Apostolic Church at Mount Carmel.

  67. Thank you Lord, for brother and sister McGee, oh Lord, and for

  68. all the together here this day. May your name receive glory and

  69. honor and praise and help me, Lord, to deliver your word,

  70. Jesus in your name, Amen. Amen.

  71. You may be seated the revelation of Jesus Christ.

  72. Would you go on a journey with me?

  73. Because that's what this book, this chat, this book is all

  74. about revealing him. You know, I know we know we're

  75. getting close. I know I've heard it preached

  76. for almost seven, well, 70 plus years now.

  77. So, but when I look around at what's taking place and I'm not

  78. just talking about Donald Trump, but what's taking place in our

  79. world, we're getting close. Things are changing like they

  80. have never changed before. The the signs are obvious.

  81. In fact, I could say Revelation 13 verses 16 through 18 that

    Revelation 13:16–18

  82. talks about the mark. It's right here, it's available.

  83. But anyway, let's go on a journey.

  84. Will you bear with me and bear with me in it on a journey of

  85. Revelation chapter one of the Book of Revelation, God says in

  86. verse 8 how that he's the alpha and the Omega.

  87. He's the beginning and the ending.

  88. He's the 1st. I'm just adding a little bit,

  89. but at first and the last and then he says I am the Almighty.

  90. There is but one Almighty and his name is Jesus.

  91. There's no such thing as a Trinity of persons in the

  92. Godhead. There's no such thing as one

  93. person and and three gods in the Godhead.

  94. I'm, I'm, I'm diverting here. But anyway, it's all in him and

  95. John, he said. I heard a voice behind me I

  96. turned to see who it was and he saw Jesus Christ in this

  97. glorified form. If you took the time to read

  98. chapter 1, it's awesome just to read here you as he is described

  99. to John and and then John is told to write some letters,

  100. write 7 letters to the seven churches of Asia and then tell

  101. them about and write about what was what is, and what is to come

  102. because it's going to all wind up.

  103. It all began in Genesis. It's going to wind up in

  104. Revelation chapter 22. So let's get ready.

    Revelation 22 chapter mention

  105. If we're not if we are ready, let's stay ready.

  106. Let's not be influenced by the influence of the influencer of

  107. this world, but to realize we're on the winning side.

  108. I'm on the winning side. Amen.

  109. So John, I don't know, he was banned to the Isle of Patmos on

  110. the India GMC and, and here he is.

  111. I don't know what kind of riding material he has.

  112. I doubt if he had a laptop. No, I know he didn't have an

  113. laptop. He might have had something on

  114. his lap, but it wasn't a Mac and it wasn't a whatever.

  115. But anyway, he began to write to these seven churches.

  116. That was more than 7 churches in Asia, of course, but these were

  117. representative churches. I think they represented certain

  118. ages or periods of time through which which the church has gone

  119. through since Pentecost. And I think we're on the 7th one

  120. right now. It's a lukewarm time, that's for

  121. sure. Hey, man.

  122. But anyway, he began to ride and he wrote to that first letter,

  123. which was to the church at Ephesus.

  124. And God says to Ephesus, John, did you've lost your first love.

  125. I've got someone against you. You need to go back and start

  126. all over again. Repent, if you will.

  127. That's a good message for a lot of gatherings this morning all

  128. around the world, I guess we'd say.

  129. He wrote the 2nd letter to Smyrna.

  130. Smyrna speaks about something when it's squeezed or pressed

  131. that it gives off a, a good odor if you will.

  132. And then God said to this church, you're going to have

  133. tribulation for 10 days, but don't worry about it.

  134. If you'll endure to the end, if you'll just be faithful to

  135. death, I'll give you a crowd. I'll give you life.

  136. You'll have life forever if you will.

  137. He wrote to the third church, which was Perkamus, and the very

  138. word Pergamus speaks to us about uniting a wedding, if you will,

  139. marriage if you will. And I think this applies to

  140. around the time of the 4th century when all Constantine got

  141. the leaders together and they put on and they got all their

  142. heads together and said decided we're going to start a new

  143. religion around here. Well, they weren't claiming at

  144. that, but that's what they were. In fact, it says in Pergamus, in

  145. about Pergamus here. This is where Satan's seat is.

  146. I don't know where his seat had been, but he found the place in

  147. Pergamus and he established his headquarters in Pergamus, I

  148. think. I think false doctrine in the

  149. false church established her headquarters in Rome.

  150. But my headquarters is not wrong.

  151. It's not even Memphis. It's not Medora, and it ain't

  152. Fort. What is this?

  153. Mount Carm? Not Fort, but Mount Carmel?

  154. It's not. It's a good place to be.

  155. I said Mount Carmel's a good place.

  156. But this is not the headquarters.

  157. The headquarters is up Yonder somewhere.

  158. Hey, man, and then he wrote another letter there in chapter

  159. 2 to a church in in fire Tyra. And you know what you knew who

  160. was in that church? Jazzy Jezebel had besieged and

  161. confused all the people and God said, I really got something

  162. like that church and and then in in in chapter 3 begin to write

  163. to some the other church, the the 5th church, which was

  164. Sardis. Sardis says I'm alive.

  165. God said, no, you you think you're alive, but you're dead,

  166. you're dead. And and then he gets to that 6th

  167. church. I like that sixth one.

  168. It was Philadelphia. Philadelphia means brotherly

  169. love and God said to Philadelphia, I've opened some

  170. doors here that no man can close.

  171. Amen. When God began to move in

  172. America at the beginning of the 20th century, I think that was

  173. Philadelphia. When we began to send out

  174. missionaries or the church did the Lord did and now they're

  175. we'll talk about that tonight. OK, I'm anxious to get to that.

  176. But anyway, Philadelphia, and there's a verse there in

  177. Philadelphia. Maybe get back to that again

  178. later. But let me just say it right

  179. now. What I'm thinking about in verse

  180. 11, I think it is, is where he said to those in Philadelphia,

  181. hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

  182. I got a crown waiting for me. It belongs to me.

  183. I've got a I've got a seat reserved around the marriage

  184. table and I don't intend to stop until I get there.

  185. Amen. Blessed are they.

  186. I'm getting ahead of myself. Blessed are they that are called

  187. to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

  188. Have you got your invitation? Have you got your invitation?

  189. If you haven't, you can get it here today.

  190. Amen. Glory.

  191. Hallelujah. And then when he got through all

  192. these, well, let me get that next church that that that last

  193. one, that church called Laodicea.

  194. God said, I wish you were hot or I wish you were cold, but

  195. instead you neither you Luke warm and I'm going to spit you

  196. out of a mouth. You're just going through the

  197. formality of being a church. You're not part of the church,

  198. you're just a religious gathering.

  199. But anyway, I'm going to spit you out of my mouth.

  200. But he doesn't close there. He's speaking to the church

  201. bodily. But it's interesting to notice

  202. when you get down to verse 20 there in that, in that chapter,

  203. God is shown, Jesus Christ is shown standing at the door,

  204. knocking on the door. And he said if any man will hear

  205. he's, he's, he's given up on that group now in that church.

  206. He's not saying if the church, he said, if any man will hear my

  207. voice and open this door, I'll come in and Sup with him and he

  208. could Sup with me. We'll have fellowship together.

  209. He's in this building right here today.

  210. Are you hungry? He can feed you.

  211. Are you thirsty? He can quench your thirst.

  212. If you're lost, He can show you the way home.

  213. Amen. And I like, I like chapter 4.

  214. Lord help me, can I have more than 40 minutes?

  215. We we begin chapter 4. This is interesting.

  216. In chapter 4, John says, after this, after this.

  217. Now I don't know how y'all believe so I'm going to say what

  218. I believe and, and, and, and if you don't believe it, that's

  219. your problem. But anyway, I'm going to I'm

  220. going to, I'm going to tell you just, you know, here, here,

  221. here's e-mail walls. But anyway, in chapter 4, John

  222. says, after this, behold, the door was the door was open where

  223. in heaven. And I heard a voice that said,

  224. come up here, John, come up here, John.

  225. Well, according to e-mail walls, that's John representing us, the

  226. church. He had just written to seven

  227. churches and he and he's finished now.

  228. So he says after this, after the last church age, after the last

  229. period, then I, I heard a voice, I heard a call come up here,

  230. John. I think John is representing me.

  231. I think he's representing the church.

  232. I think he's representing that time when you and I are maybe

  233. not going to hear the voice, but we're going to heat.

  234. We're going to, we're going to feel, we're going to feel as if

  235. the Lord says come up here, son, daughter, come up here, Church,

  236. come up here, because that's what's going to happen.

  237. According to First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse

    1 Thessalonians 4:16

  238. 16, We're going to all go up together, gathering together,

  239. meeting the Lord together. Hallelujah.

  240. Oh my. And John, he, he, he, he was

  241. caught up in the spirit. Of course, he didn't literally

  242. go up. He didn't, he, he didn't get his

  243. glorified body till he died, but he, he wasn't dead yet.

  244. He wasn't through right. He got about he got about 18

  245. more chapters to write or something.

  246. But anyway, anyway, John witness he saw the Lord on his throne.

  247. He looked and he said it was a throne set in heaven and it look

  248. upon it was like Jasper a rainbow about the throne.

  249. Oh my, I'm looking forward to doing that day or seeing that

  250. day and anyway, and then he spoke about it. 24 elders

  251. sitting on 12/24 Thrones going to be going to be no wonder

  252. Jesus said back there Matthew 1928 when when Peter said in

  253. verse 27, Lord we've left everything to follow you.

  254. What are we going to get for it? Peter just shut up your mouth.

  255. He'll pay you when it's all over with.

  256. He was kind of anxious. What am I going to get for it

  257. And Jesus said in verse 28, ye that follow me in the

  258. regeneration when I sit on my throne, you're going to sit on

  259. 12 Thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

  260. I got a hurry in, in, in, in verse.

  261. I know also, it also tells us there in that 4th chapter about

  262. those creatures, those beasts, those, those angelic beings or

  263. whatever around the throne. And you know what they're doing?

  264. They're saying holy, holy, holy. And it's not just one church

  265. service. We're going to go home after a

  266. while, go to McDonald's or somewhere or somewhere.

  267. We're not going to McDonald's, are we?

  268. OK, but I shouldn't have said that, I guess.

  269. But, but, but anyway, they were saying holy, holy, holy day and

  270. night 24/7. And, and those, those, those,

  271. those churches that are gathering right now in those

  272. holy and pious places, they're just whispering or they're

  273. listening to the preacher and, and, and, and they never get

  274. excited. They don't raise their hands.

  275. They don't want to say Hallelujah.

  276. I know good and well they're not going to heaven because they

  277. would be so out of place there. Because the earth's going to be

  278. holy, holy, holy when we, when we walk down the street of gold

  279. to go to look over and see Brother McGee and say, praise

  280. the Lord, Brother McGee. Well, I like to do that in

  281. McDonald. Unless you got your PJS on, then

  282. I'm not going to look at you. But Hallelujah, Oh my, let me

  283. Lord help me and and like I got to go to chapter 5.

  284. Chapter 5 is it is is so, so an interesting.

  285. Everyone of them is interesting. Chapter John sees the Lord the

  286. eternal 1 setting on his throne. I don't understand all that, but

  287. this is a, a vision of John. We're not taking things

  288. literally here. That's what Revelation is.

  289. It's signs and symbols and symbolisms and whatever.

  290. But John anyway, he sees the the Lord, the eternal 1 sitting on

  291. his throne. He's got a book in his hand.

  292. It's got 7 seals on it and it's vitally important that those

  293. seals are open because it's the devil has been the God of this

  294. universe, or not universe, but the God of this world since

  295. Genesis. And we need help.

  296. We need to set him. We need to break his bonds, if

  297. you will, and let heaven be glorified.

  298. Let the earth be renewed and restored, if you will.

  299. But you got to break these seals.

  300. Got to break these seals and, and said we've looked in heaven,

  301. we can't find anybody. We've looked on the earth, we

  302. can't find anybody. We've looked under the earth, we

  303. can't find anybody. And John began to cry.

  304. He began to cry because he knew the significance and the

  305. importance of those seals. And, and so somebody, an Angel

  306. or one of the elders that that tapped him on the shoulder and

  307. said, John, don't cry. We found somebody.

  308. He's the lion of the tribe of Judah.

  309. And, and, and, and John, he wanted to see that lion, and he

  310. turned around to see that big lion with a big old mane and a

  311. snarling face. And he didn't see a lion.

  312. He saw a lamb. It wasn't a line physically that

  313. destroyed the power and the authority of Satan, if you will.

  314. It was the lamb slain from the foundations of the world.

  315. Everything's going to be all right.

  316. And then we got to go on to Chapter 6 because that's when

  317. those seals begin to be open. Because the Lamb went to that

  318. book, that one holding that book.

  319. He got that book and he says I can open it.

  320. He's been to Calvary, he's been to Joseph's tomb, and he's not

  321. there any longer. He's glorified and he promised

  322. before you went away. I'm coming back.

  323. Amen. And we're going to go to meet

  324. him one of these days. But anyway, he begins to open

  325. those seals in chapter 6 and verse verse one beginning that

  326. he opened the first seal and there appeared a man on a White

  327. Horse. He's all dressed in wine.

  328. He's got a crown they're giving him.

  329. He's got a bowl in his hand. Oh, that sounds good.

  330. That looks good. He's he's a man of peace.

  331. He got to be. He's wearing white.

  332. He's given a crown, so that's got to be good.

  333. I know he's got a Bobby Hadn't got any arrows.

  334. No. It's kind of like, what was it?

  335. Proverbs? Solomon said, his words as

  336. smooth as butter. But war is in his heart.

  337. Yeah, that's him. That's him.

  338. He comes with promises that he never fulfills.

  339. He opens a second seal and there comes a horse black, and a man

  340. riding it black. And he's got some balances in

  341. his hands that's going to decide whether you can buy some bread

  342. or not or buy some eggs. They're getting pretty high or

  343. buy some eggs or not. He's the one that says you got

  344. to take the name or the number or the mark.

  345. It's, it's, it's, it's already getting set up, folks.

  346. And then that third horse came out and he was red.

  347. That white one has turned red now, because red is representing

  348. war, bloodshed, death. That's going to be going on one

  349. of these. I want to be gone by that time.

  350. I want to be gone by that time. Amen.

  351. Are y'all going with me? Can I go with y'all, I should

  352. say? And then that 4th, 4th seal, it

  353. came with a pale horse and a pale rider, if you will.

  354. And and then it says death and hell is following him.

  355. That's the final, if you will. When it's all over, everything's

  356. going down. That's not of God.

  357. Everybody whose name is not in the book is going to hell.

  358. Oh my, did I say it like that? If truth is truth, facts are

  359. facts. Oh my.

  360. I don't mean to get too personal here, but that it just it just

  361. it just anyway, it just just came out.

  362. But anyway, that's that's chapter 6.

  363. And and then there was another seal open the field one.

  364. And and John saw a bunch of souls that were under under the

  365. altar and they were crying out of vengeance.

  366. Avenge us. Somebody's killed us.

  367. So we're under the altar. Lord, would you avenge us of our

  368. death? And and they are told, just hold

  369. on until your brethren are killed like you were and become

  370. mourners, if you will. And you, you, you're going to be

  371. all right. You're going to be all right.

  372. Now, I don't know who you think they are, but I don't think

  373. they're the church. No, I don't think that.

  374. First of all, the very word altar doesn't apply to the

  375. church. It's not even in the New

  376. Testament concerning calling altar calls.

  377. And I'm not saying let's not have one here this morning.

  378. Let's have one if we need it. But anyway, my point is it's

  379. not, it's not Gentile oriented, it's not church oriented, it's

  380. Jewish oriented. And another thing about those

  381. prayers, we don't pray those kind of prayers.

  382. We don't pray those kind of prayers praying God to kill our

  383. neighbor because they laughed at us yesterday or whatever.

  384. No, we, the imprecatory prayer they're called they, we read

  385. about them back in the Old Testament, the Psalms.

  386. No, we don't. Our master said pray for those

  387. that despitefully use you love those.

  388. Oh, you love me if I hurry. But anyway, Chapter 7, Chapter 7

  389. presents another interesting passage.

  390. There are angels at the four corners of the earth.

  391. You didn't know it had corners, did you?

  392. I didn't either. But anyway, four corners in the

  393. worst the world this earth is not flat.

  394. But anyway, they were had hold of the winds.

  395. They were getting ready to burst forth and and the Lord says

  396. whoop, hold it fellas. I got to seal some people.

  397. I got. He doesn't say why, he just says

  398. I've got to seal some people. And so he begins to seal 12,000

  399. out of each of the 12 tribes. Now back in numbers, it's due to

  400. Isaac or Zebra, Reuben, Simeon, Gad, Ephraim, Manasseh,

  401. Benjamin, Dan after Naftalah. But when you read in Chapter 7,

  402. Dan's absent, Ephraim's not there, Levi and Joseph replace

  403. them. I don't know what's happening to

  404. Ephraim and Dan, and I don't know what's going to happen.

  405. But God, God spares. He doesn't tell us why.

  406. Why are you sealing them walls? You don't need to know, but he

  407. seals them for a purpose. I don't know exactly what do you

  408. think? We could have 14 reasons right

  409. here. They got to be for a reason.

  410. I wonder this is me back Yonder in Matthew chapter 24 and verse

    Matthew 24 chapter mention

  411. 14 where the disciples says Lord, when when these days going

  412. to happen the end of the world and what and verse 14 said

  413. something to the effect. I'm not quoting verbatim.

  414. When this, the gospel of the Kingdom is preached to all the

  415. world, then the incomes, I'm just going to throw this out

  416. there. You don't have children if you

  417. want to. But he said the gospel of the

  418. Kingdom. Who is Kingdom minded?

  419. I'm church minded. I'm preaching the gospel of

  420. Jesus Christ. I'm not preaching about a

  421. Kingdom. I'm preaching about a body, a

  422. family, a church. The Jews, they're Kingdom

  423. minded. They're Kingdom people, they

  424. lost their king. They're looking for their king.

  425. And that's, I just threw that out there.

  426. But anyway, let's go on because later in Chapter 7, about the

  427. halfway point, John said he saw a group of people from all

  428. countries and nations and people and, and just too many to count.

  429. They had washed the robes and the blood of the lamb.

  430. They, they had palms in their hand and, and, and John looked

  431. at them and, and somebody said, who are these?

  432. And John says, you know who they are?

  433. I don't know who are they? And, and he was told these are

  434. they that came out of great out of tribulation.

  435. That's who they are. That's who they are.

  436. So if you think once the church is gone, that's it.

  437. I know I've heard that preached. And Oh God help me if you think

  438. once the church is gone, it's over with.

  439. No, it's not over with. The really, the tough is going

  440. to get tough, but there's going to be a whole gob of people

  441. that's innumerable that's going to say no to that beast, no to

  442. that mark, no to that number. They're not going up in the

  443. rapture. The rapture's already gone.

  444. But anyway, oh Lord help me. But anyway, in we're chapter 8.

  445. Now in chapter 8, John begins to witness the trump.

  446. Their trumpet judgments begin to sound and judgment becomes upon

  447. this old world and and and he sees things begin to happen in

  448. one place. It speaks about how them there's

  449. fire mixed up with blood that comes down and hits this earth,

  450. as it were, and kills all the trees.

  451. Another one, John describes it like a mountain that's hurled

  452. into the sea and it kills all that's in that sea and on and on

  453. it goes in one place. It kind of reminds you of

  454. Chernobyl. It speaks about Wormwood, which

  455. conducts with Chernobyl. But anyway, all of these things

  456. begin to. And then when you get to Chapter

  457. 9, John hears him and sees that there is an Angel that comes

  458. down. He's got a big old key in his

  459. hand, and he opens up the bottomless pit and out of that

  460. pit begins to boil darkness, clouds.

  461. And then crawling out of that smoke or locust look like that

  462. doesn't make sense. Locust wouldn't even get close

  463. to smoke. It'll drive them away.

  464. But these are not ordinary locusts.

  465. They're locusts. And they got they, they got

  466. stings like like a, like a scorpion.

  467. And here's a very interesting thing.

  468. They are told don't eat the grass.

  469. Don't sound like locusts to me. Don't eat the grass or the

  470. trees. And and with those stings you

  471. got on your tail back there like a scorpion said, what you do,

  472. you search out those that don't have the, the name, the seal on

  473. their foreheads. You find anybody that doesn't

  474. have the seal, who's got the seal back there in Chapter 7.

  475. It's 144,000 of them. Don't you touch one of them.

  476. But everybody that doesn't have a seal, you, you sting them real

  477. good. In fact, it stinks so much that

  478. the Bible, John says they want to die and can't they search for

  479. death and it does, it evades them.

  480. They can't, it just, it just doesn't work.

  481. Can I go on for a distance? Oh my goodness, Lord, what was

  482. that? Chapter 9, Chapter 9, There's

  483. angels or what demons, I guess in, in that Euphrates River.

  484. And they're given Commission or the opportunity to come out of

  485. that river. And and then the river is, is

  486. divided as it were, to make room for the kings of the East, the

  487. people of the East. And, and out of that come these

  488. creatures. They, they've got a hair like

  489. women's hair. They're almost Apostolic, it

  490. seems Jesus name of them. But anyway, no, they're not.

  491. Lord, forgive me. But anyway, they, they, they,

  492. they out of their mouth issues, smoke and brimstone, and 1/3 of

  493. men are killed. Think about it.

  494. I don't know what the population of the world is now, 7 or 8

  495. million, I guess, or billion. What is it million.

  496. So 1/3 of that. Think about it.

  497. That's a lot of that's a lot of death.

  498. That's a lot of death. Amen.

  499. Let me hurry in in in a get on chapter 10.

  500. John sees this Angel. He comes down from heaven.

  501. He's a big creature. He's got 1 foot.

  502. He puts on the sea, Mediterranean and the other I

  503. suppose, and he puts his other foot on the lamb.

  504. He's got a book in his hand and he raises his hand to heaven and

  505. says, let there be. I know it says let there be time

  506. no more. But but that's that's just a

  507. misapplication, if you will, of the heat, the Greek that he's

  508. saying, let there be, Delay no more.

  509. Let's get this over with. Let's finish the work.

  510. Amen. He's getting ready to come back.

  511. Amen. And then to add to it, he takes

  512. that little book and gives it to Johnson.

  513. Eat it, eat it, eat it. And then we get to Chapter 11.

  514. Oh, that's a good one. Chapter 11, there are two men

  515. that come walking on the scene. I don't know who they are.

  516. If you know who they are, tell me later.

  517. But two men, they're called witnesses. 2 witnesses that God

  518. has for the purpose of preaching against the beast, the man of

  519. sin that that ugly thing and his system that makes the man of

  520. seeing so bad he tries to kill him.

  521. Isn't that something? But it's kind of like our

  522. president. They missed him.

  523. But anyway, I don't think they he got they got even got bloody.

  524. But anyway, they tried he tried to kill him and he couldn't do

  525. it. You see, God, you're not going

  526. to leave till God says it's time.

  527. That's the way it is. I've spoke.

  528. I thought I'm supposed to been going 40 years ago, but here I

  529. am. I'm still here.

  530. I'm in in. According to Mr. Moses, I think

  531. it was said your time is 70 years.

  532. I don't pass that and by chance I done pass that but too.

  533. But anyway, I'm still here. I'm going to stay around.

  534. I'm I've been telling myself and others I'm going to be ready

  535. when the trumpet sounds. I want to leave from the trumpet

  536. sound. Amen.

  537. And I don't know of any other place I'd rather leave from

  538. because my wife's already gone. My daughters are in good hands

  539. and Medora can survive without me.

  540. So I just soon leave from not Ford, but Mount.

  541. Are you all ready to go? Amen.

  542. Oh my. But anyway, after 3 1/2 years of

  543. preaching, then it their time was up.

  544. It all fits in with the three and a halfs and three and a

  545. halfs and three and a halfs and and, and the Lord allows the,

  546. the the old beast to to, to kill them.

  547. Oh my goodness, to, to kill them.

  548. And then their bodies lay in the street, probably Jerusalem, I

  549. would suppose, lay in the street for 3 1/2 days that those ugly

  550. people don't even have the, the, the, the feelings to bury them

  551. somewhere. But instead they have a party.

  552. It's like Christmas time around. They're sharing gifts to one

  553. another. But oh, you better laugh when

  554. you can. You better exchange gifts when

  555. you can, because 3 1/2 days later, something's going to

  556. happen you ain't seen before. Amen.

  557. And I can only imagine those two fellas lying in that street,

  558. They hadn't wiggled a finger. They haven't batted an eye.

  559. And all of a sudden, a finger begins to wiggle, a toe begins

  560. to twitch a little bit. The eyes pop open and they sit

  561. up. And the one looks at the other

  562. one. And I suppose our work is

  563. finished. What do you say?

  564. We go home and God calls him up to in, in into heaven.

  565. Oh, my, what are they? What are they?

  566. And then in chapter 12, John sees a vision of a woman.

  567. She's pregnant. She's about to give birth to

  568. what's called a man child, not just a baby, a man child.

  569. And there's the old dragon right in front of her ready to catch

  570. that baby in his big old jaws and and devour her.

  571. But devil you not going to do it.

  572. He is delivered. He, you know, I know I I'm this

  573. is something else. But for some time, many, many

  574. years ago, I used to preach. I did preach once in a while

  575. that when Jesus died, that it made the the devils so throw a

  576. big old party and that the Lord went down to hell and grabbed

  577. the keys out of the old devil's hand and tore up their party.

  578. I don't believe that for one second the devil tried his best

  579. to keep Jesus from Calvary because he knew if he made it to

  580. Calvary, if he shed those force few drops of blood his, he was

  581. doomed. He was doomed.

  582. He didn't have to go. He did go to hell, but he didn't

  583. have to go there to grab some keys from Satan.

  584. They already belonged to him when he died for us and he was

  585. resurrected 3 days later. Right there in the same Book of

  586. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 18, Jesus appeared to John and

    Revelation 1 chapter mention

  587. said, I am he, I was dead, I'm alive, I have the keys of hell

  588. and woo Hallelujah. Oh my, I didn't have to say all

  589. that. But anyway.

  590. And then it says after that that there was a war in heaven.

  591. War is still going on. Satan still has access to

  592. heaven. He's still blaming people like

  593. Job. He's still saying, let me get to

  594. that Bishop McGee and I'll make him quit dancing.

  595. No, you won't. No, you won't.

  596. Amen. But anyway, he he's still the

  597. accuser of the brethren, as he's called there in fact.

  598. But anyway, he he all of these that that take place in that

  599. period of time of trouble and chaos and confusion in chapter

  600. 13. I got her in chapter 13.

  601. I know it's revelation is not written chronologically.

  602. So chapter 13 just seemed like man that's out of place.

  603. In chapter 13, John looks at the seed.

  604. He sees a big old EA beast coming up, got 7 heads and and

  605. 10 horns. I think it is an ugly good

  606. creature and and the people of the world are praising him.

  607. Oh, he's what we've been waiting for.

  608. And then a little while later John sees another beast that

  609. comes out of the earth. He's the false prophet.

  610. Got to have a religious system associated with the the old, the

  611. old government, if you will. Amen.

  612. And that that that when that comes out of the earth, his

  613. headquarters is in Rome, I think.

  614. Now that's my opinion at least. But anyway, he comes out and,

  615. and they begin to glorify him and worship the beast and so on.

  616. And then you get down to the bottom.

  617. That 13th chapter, verse 16 is where the, the the man of see

  618. him the the false prophet. The false prophet creates an

  619. image to the beast and says worship this image.

  620. It's in the progress right now, Amen.

  621. If you don't believe it, just look, take a look, Amen.

  622. And if you don't, don't worship. If you don't bow down.

  623. If you don't, you're going to die.

  624. That's his accusation. Whatever.

  625. But anyway, all of these things are going to happen one of these

  626. days. I want to be gone by that time.

  627. Amen. In verse 14, John sees those

  628. 144,000. I don't know where they've been,

  629. but he sees them. They're on on on the mount.

  630. What is it called anyway? They're on the mount with, with

  631. the Lord and, and they have, they've kept themselves and, and

  632. worship the Lord and, and there's an Angel that flies even

  633. through the sky and says to, to not worship this beast, but

  634. they're proclaiming, he's proclaiming the gospel.

  635. Amen. So mercy, if you want to read

  636. about mercy, don't think it stops with chapter 4 revelation.

  637. It just keeps on for a while because there's some more that's

  638. going to join that great day, day of judgment.

  639. Anyway, let me hurry in chapter 15, it's where John sees them

  640. gathered and there's a, there's a great big seed that it says

  641. they're standing on a, on a, on a seed.

  642. That's, that's, that's got fire red blood in it, red in it.

  643. And we already saw that seed back under in chapter 5 and it

  644. was clear, clear. But this one has got red in it,

  645. blood in it, if you will, because it's signifying it's

  646. through the, it's through the tribulation now.

  647. And they're standing there and they sing one or two songs or

  648. both songs. One of them sings the song of

  649. Moses and the Lamb, the song of Moses, and the other one sings

  650. the song of the Lamb, both Old and New Testament.

  651. What a time we're going to have tomorrow, folks.

  652. What a time in chapter, I'm hurrying in chapter 17 is where

  653. John was told to come here. John will show you that whore.

  654. I want to show you show you the the mother of harlots and and he

  655. goes out and he sees this woman and she's sitting this stride a

  656. beast, a mini colored beast and and the beautiful thing.

  657. Maybe it shouldn't be said like that, but I think it the

  658. beautiful thing about that chapter is it speaks about those

  659. ten nations that join in allegiance with a man of sin.

  660. And then it goes on down in that chapter and it speaks of how

  661. they come against that mother harlot and they kill her.

  662. They stomp her, if you will, and burn her and defeat.

  663. Rome is going down. The church is going up.

  664. Amen. Again, I don't want to be.

  665. I don't be offensive, don't want to be offensive.

  666. But anyway, all of this Trinitarian garbage, that's

  667. where it came from. That's where.

  668. And I call it garbage because it is garbage.

  669. It's it's not this, it's not the word of God, but let me, let me,

  670. let me go. That's chapter 17, Mystery

  671. Babylon goes down. And then chapter 18, it is

  672. another Babylon, but this is a, a different Babylon, if you

  673. will. It's the, it's the, it's a

  674. headquarters of all Mariners and carpenters and all kind of

  675. workers, if you will. And it's going to go down.

  676. In fact, John said an Angel takes like a millstone, throws

  677. it into the sea, and that's how quick it's going down.

  678. Everything that's not of Jesus Christ, everything that's not of

  679. Acts 238, everything that's not about the name and the blood,

  680. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. It's going down.

  681. It's going down. Again, I don't mean to be

  682. judgmental. I'm just stating, stating facts.

  683. It's going down. And then when I get to chapter

  684. 19 of, of Revelry, I'm getting close to the end.

  685. When I get to chapter 19 of Revelation, John hears

  686. something. Oh my, he hears something.

  687. I got in trouble one time. I guess I could say it that way.

  688. I preached in in in the Venezuela and I got to preach a

  689. little bit about chapter 19 here.

  690. Where there in our in our Bible it's it's Hallelujah.

  691. They are saying Hallelujah. What is it 5 or 6 times he hears

  692. this voice in heaven and they're crying out holy, holy

  693. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

  694. Anyway, Brother Revis was translating, interpreting for me

  695. and I told these Spanish people that feel that order torment

  696. that church and said this is the only place in your Bible that

  697. you'll find Hallelujah. Brother Grievous, he helped me

  698. out. He knew I was ignorant.

  699. So he he somehow, he, he sugar coated her, straightened up and

  700. then after church, he said, Brother Wallace, that's not the

  701. only place in the Spanish Bible that it says Hallelujah.

  702. If you looked at the last, I think it's five last five

  703. chapters of Psalms. It begins with Hallelujah.

  704. Every every verse or every chapter begins with Hallelujah

  705. and ends with Hallelujah. And you know that last 150th

  706. Psalm, praise ye the Lord, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, praise

  707. him on the temple, praise him on the high sounding.

  708. But anyway, all of these were saying Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

  709. And it's that chapter where we have that expression, Blessed

  710. are you that are called to marry to the marriage supper of the

  711. lamb. We're going to a wedding, folks.

  712. We're we're going to meet the bridegroom.

  713. I'm the part of the bride. I'm getting all dressed up.

  714. What about you? Amen.

  715. I want to make sure my garment's clean.

  716. Want to make sure I've combed my hair.

  717. But anyway, we're all we're all going to we're all going to the

  718. bridegroom. We're having a wedding, folks,

  719. Hallelujah. And to emphasize it there in

  720. verse 8 of chapter 19, I believe it is it it speaks about the the

  721. fine linen is the righteousness of what of the Saints.

  722. All right, we'll go on over because it's during that time

  723. that the beast and the false prophet are conquered and

  724. they're thrown alive into the is it chapter?

  725. Is it verse 10, Chapter 9? Anyway, they're thrown live into

  726. the lake of fire and then down in verse 11.

  727. In that chapter 19, it, it shows the Lord coming riding on a

  728. White Horse. He's got crowns on his head and,

  729. and behind him is a great host. The armies of heaven are

  730. following him on white horses. I tried to ride a horse one time

  731. and in in Haiti and we were going down, if we up on the

  732. mountain had to go way down in the valley to where there's some

  733. water to baptize some folks. And so they fixed me up, those

  734. natives and put me up on a horse.

  735. You know, I couldn't walk way down there without falling

  736. probably. So I got on that horse and I

  737. hadn't made it. I hadn't made it from here to

  738. there. Probably that that saddle went

  739. and I went down. So, but I have got some boots

  740. on. I mean, I'll be able to ride a

  741. horse, but I'm working on it, you know, but anyway, in in, in

  742. that when it's when it shows them it about those armies, that

  743. that army that's following Jesus, it says they're riding

  744. white horses and they're wearing what, what?

  745. Oh my goodness, white linen. Where'd they come from?

  746. Well back count in verse 8, it tells us who they are.

  747. I'm I'm coming back. Amen.

  748. Now we've had a marriage supper. So we got to have a honeymoon.

  749. So we've been up there for seven years and that's, you know,

  750. seven days. That's the time of a honeymoon

  751. or whatever marriage feast according to Samuel or first not

  752. Samuel judges and Sam's son, but any we're coming back.

  753. I got 37 seconds. We're we're coming back riding

  754. white horses. What a day that's going to be.

  755. Chapter 20, See I only got 3 chapters left.

  756. Chapter 20, John says here come a star.

  757. Here come all of these that we read about in chapter 6, all of

  758. this group that we read about in Chapter 7 that had died as

  759. mortars. John says here they come.

  760. I hear you shut up. But Oh my gosh, y'all won't have

  761. me back for two years, five years.

  762. But anyway, we're all coming back and, and then the the those

  763. that died during the tribulation are resurrected because we're

  764. getting ready to enter into a new day, a new day.

  765. And so here's this this Angel that comes down.

  766. I don't know if the same one from Chapter 9 or not, but he's

  767. got a key to that bottomless fit.

  768. And this has never happened before, but it's going to

  769. happen. Then it's going to get that

  770. devil that, that dragon, that serpent, that devil that, what's

  771. that other term anyway? You going to bind him and put

  772. him in that bottomless pit. I can only imagine what a pit

  773. is. It doesn't have a bottom to it.

  774. Somebody says, well it's the center of the earth that's

  775. filled with fire. You just go around and around

  776. and around. You think you're going up and

  777. down and there's no end to it. I don't know that I haven't been

  778. there, but but anyway, for 1000 years and then we enter into

  779. this Millennium, 1000 long years of peace.

  780. And then after 1000 years, I know that sounds so long because

  781. none of us has lived that long, of course, but that sounds so

  782. long. But to the Lord and to that

  783. great day, what a day, 1000 years.

  784. We won't be, we won't be hungry, we won't be crying.

  785. We won't be getting fatter. We, we, we, we won't be like no,

  786. it's, it's going to be where, where, where the lion and and

  787. and the lamb the lion eat grass together where the children

  788. plays on the cockatrice's den, whereas peace all over the

  789. world, if you will. I'm hurrying.

  790. I know it doesn't sound like it, but I mean it.

  791. But anyway, a piece that will cover the earth during that end

  792. and then during this, after the 1000 years, the devil is loosed,

  793. he comes out, he goes because the Millennium is going on and

  794. there's a whole gob of sinners living out here, but they're not

  795. sinning because they sin there. The one that causes sin and the

  796. creating creation of or the creating of civil evil acts is

  797. in that in that bottomless spin. He can't influence them.

  798. But anyway, when he gets out, his influence goes out.

  799. He brings together a hold up. It says they're like the sand of

  800. the seashore for a number. That's a lot of people that have

  801. been living on a peaceful Earth for 1000 years for a long time.

  802. And anyway, and then I know it's somebody says it's a battle of

  803. battle of Gog and Mega. It's not a battle.

  804. It's not a battle. The devil just thinks it's going

  805. to be because when he comes against the camp of the Saints,

  806. fire comes down from heaven, kills Everlast, one of those in

  807. that army, because that then cleanses the earth of all

  808. sinners, no sinning, no Sinner left.

  809. And that devil is taken and thrown into the lake of fire

  810. where the beasts, the false prophet are.

  811. And they're going to be there then for eternity, for eternity.

  812. Oh my God, thank you for your word.

  813. Chapter 20, let me hurry. Chapter 21 of Revelation, John

  814. again was told by an Angel or one of the elders said, come

  815. here, John, I want to show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.

  816. It's kind of like chapter 5 going to show you the lion.

  817. He shows him a lamb. I want to show you the bride the

  818. the the the the brides bridegrooms wife, if you will.

  819. And he takes him to I don't understand this verse takes him

  820. to a high mountain. Why does he need a high mountain

  821. to look on? Because that city is 1500 miles

  822. high. But anyway, who am I to question

  823. this? But he shows him that city

  824. that's made of gold. It doesn't have a sun, the moon,

  825. the stars in him because the lambs in it and he's the lion.

  826. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. And, and, and, and, and it's got

  827. 12 gates to it and they're made of Pearl.

  828. It's got a street of gold. It's got an Angel standing in

  829. each gate. It doesn't say why, but e-mail

  830. Wall says they're the welcoming committee.

  831. And I believe when I get ready to walk through, it's going to

  832. say, Walls, welcome home. Let me think that what a day,

  833. what a day, what a day. Stand with me, please.

  834. I got to hush. Thank you for your patience.

  835. Chapter 22 No, let me go back to 20.

  836. I should, I skipped something very important.

  837. Chapter 20, verse 12, John said, And I mentioned about that army,

  838. everyone of them were killed. There's no sinners left on the

  839. ground on the earth. Chapter 12, Chapter 20.

  840. John said he saw the dead, small and great stand before God.

  841. There was a grey and white throne and Jesus Christ is the

  842. judge on that throne. If in hell are delivered up and

  843. cast into the lake of fire. The last verse, verse 15 of that

  844. chapter says here's the awesome part.

  845. Whosoever is not found written in the book of life is cast into

  846. the lake of fire. You and I don't need to.

  847. How do I want to say it? We need our lame in that book.

  848. We've got to have our name in that book, The Revelation of

  849. Jesus Christ. He is coming.

  850. He's a preparing a place for us. He already told us that in John

  851. 14 and chapters 2122. Chapter 22 speaks to us about a

  852. river of life flowing from the throne of God on each side of

  853. that river of trees. I'm one of those.

  854. I've got this strange feeling possibly, but I believe the tree

  855. of life that we read about in Genesis chapter 3, it's that

    Genesis 3 chapter mention

  856. same tree of life. It wasn't erupted by the deluge.

  857. If God can take a man to heaven, he can take a tree.

  858. But I believe in chapter 22 of Revelation, that's the tree of

  859. life sparing 12 manner of fruit for the healing of the nations.

  860. What a day. And that city, Oh my.

  861. We could talk about that city a long, long time, but I'm not

  862. right here today. What a day.

  863. What a place. It's probably 1500 miles up and

  864. down in Crossways. How does it exist?

  865. I don't know. I don't really care.

  866. I don't need to know. I just need to know that's where

  867. I'm going. That's the home of the church.

  868. Hallelujah. No shadows there because he the

  869. light feels ever. Never crevice every corner.

  870. Oh God, oh God, the revelation of Jesus Christ is going to

  871. happen when it's all over with Satan and his cohorts, the

  872. beast, the false prophet. And I say with sadness on my

  873. voice, whosoever is not found written in the book of life,

  874. they're all in that place then called the Lake of Fire.

  875. You don't believe there's a lake?

  876. Oh yes. Bible very plainly cusses that

  877. there is. If you're not ready, let's get

  878. ready. If you are ready, let's

  879. determine our mind to stay ready.

  880. Hallelujah. I think it'd be if I may take

  881. the liberty. I think it'd be good if we just

  882. made our way forward here this morning.

  883. It's still morning. Take time to thank God for His

  884. mercies, for His blessing, and imagine what it's going to be

  885. like tomorrow when we hear that trumpet sound and we are called

  886. up to meet Him in the air. What a day.

  887. Let's pray, let's worship the King, let's thank him for his

  888. promises. Hallelujah.
