114 What an introduction to…See, the rider’s now, the rider’s beasts, and the answering Beasts,
have ceased. Then, we taken up, we see the martyrs under the Throne. Now this, from the time,
these martyrs are the true Orthodox Jews that died in Christian faith…or in—in religious faith,
because they could not be Christians.
115 Remember, God blinded their eyes. And they’re going to be blind for a long time, until the
Gentile Church is taken out of the way. Cause, God doesn’t deal with them two people at the
same time, because it’s very contrary to His Word.
116 Remember, He deals with Israel as a nation, always. It’s the nation of Israel.
117 The Gentiles, as individuals, “people taken from the Gentiles.” And it had to, the Gentile,
had to make…made up of all the people of the world, so now and then there is a Jew comes into
that. See? Just like an—like a Arabian, and an Irish, and Indian, and what-more, it’s all the
people of the world, make up this bouquet Bride. See?
118 But, now, when it comes to dealing then with Israel, in this last part of the seventieth week,
He deals with them as a nation, the Gentiles are finished. The hour is soon arriving, and may be
yet this—this very night, that God will completely turn from the Gentiles, altogether. Exactly!
He said so. “They shall tread down the walls of Jerusalem until the Gentile dispensation be
finished, the times are over.” Yes, sir!
119 And then, “Let him that’s filthy stay filthy; let him that’s righteous be righteous.” See?
120 There is no more Blood on the seat of the—of the—of the sanct-…in the sanctuary, at all.
There is no more Blood on the altar. The Sacrifice has been removed, and there’s nothing but
smoke and lightning and judgment in there. And that’s just exactly what’s poured out here
tonight. See, the Lamb has done left the…His mediatorial work. The mediatorial work has been
finished, from over on the Throne. And the Sacrifice, as we’ve typed Him perfectly, the Kinsman
Redeemer, the bloody Lamb that come forth. A Lamb that had been slain, a bloody One, been
killed, bruised, come forth and took the Book out of His hand. That’s, the days are finished. Now
He is coming to claim what He has redeemed. Amen! That just sends something through me!2
121 We find out now, John said, “I beheld when He had opened the Sixth Seal, there was a great
earthquake,” then all nature was interrupted. See?
122 God has been doing great things, like healing the sick, and open the eyes of the blind, and
doing great work.
123 But we find out, here, that nature took a tumble, yes, all nature. Look what taken place,
“The—the earthquake; the sun went black, and the moon wouldn’t give its light; and the stars
shook and fell.” And, why, everything happened, see, right at the time of the opening of this
Sixth Seal. That’s when it takes place, right immediately after the announcing of those martyrs,
see. The martyrs had been finished.
124 Now you see we’re right close into that hour now. We could be, at any time, see, because the
Church is just about ready to take Its flight. But remember, when these things happen, the Bride
won’t be here. Just remember, the Bride is gone, She don’t have to go through any of it. This is a
time of Tribulation, of purification of the—of the church; it’s put upon her, for her to go through
it, not the Bride. He takes His sweetheart out of the way. Yes, sir! She, done redeemed Her. See,
it’s kind of a…That’s His Own selection, His Own choice, like any man takes his bride. See?

So we find that He had to be born in a manger.
Well, but why wasn’t there room in the inn, in the hotel? Why wasn’t there room at the mayor’s
office or in the main place there either? Why? Because the One who was going to be born was a
lamb. And where are lambs born? In mangers. That is where they are born, where the other sheep
are; and He was typified as a lamb and He had to fulfill everything that typified Him; and He
was born in that place.
So, you can see that all things work together for good. There was no room over there, but there
was room among the sheep; there was no room among the goats, but there was among the sheep.
See? Among the two-legged goats there was no room, but among the four-legged sheep there
was room.
So, you can see that all things work together for good. So, when you are going through trials and
difficult moments, don’t complain; look to the Word and know that all things work together for
good, and leave things in God’s hands and you’ll see the benefit you will receive.
Don’t complain, everything works together for good for the children of God. Everything! And
everything means everything. So don’t complain. Thank the Lord. And when you go through3
difficult moments, say: “Oh, Lord, what a great blessing You have for me! Oh, Lord, turn all of
this into a great spiritual blessing for my soul!” He will turn it into an exceedingly great blessing
for you.
Now, many times we look at things from the earthly point of view; and things, God’s blessings,
whenever He is going to give them, if you look at them from the intellectual or earthly point of
view, you will say: “That is an immense trial.” But when you look at them from the spiritual
point of view, you realize that it is a huge blessing, but that God sends it in such a simple and
humble way, that if you don’t have your eyes open, you don’t realize what a great blessing you
can miss if you don’t receive it with joy in your heart.
So, notice, you tell the Lord: “Lord, give me patience.” And what produces patience? Trials.
When you are going through a trial, say: “Thank you, Lord, because you are giving me
patience.” See?
So, we have to thank the Lord for all those blessings, even though we see them as if they were
trials, but they are blessings before the Lord; and if you look at them from the spiritual point of
view, with your faith placed in the Word of God, you will not be complaining on this Earth.
