GOD'S WINDOW OF MERCY IS END-TIME BIBLE PROPHECY. THIS WINDOW HAS BEEN CAREFULLY PREPARED BY GOD FOR HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF YEARS. THIS WINDOW, IT EXTENDS FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT, GIVING MAN A CLEAR VIEW OF WHAT IS ABOUT TO COME UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. GOD'S WINDOW OF MERCY IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO PREPARE AND TO ESCAPE GOD'S WRATH THAT WILL SOON STRIKE THE EARTH. I'VE SPENT MANY, MANY HOURS PREPARING THESE MESSAGES ON BIBLE PROPHECY, STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD, BUT THIS MESSAGE, I SO THOROUGHLY ENJOYED PREPARING IT. SO MUCH OF END-TIME BIBLE PROPHECY IS JUDGMENT, JUDGMENT, JUDGMENT, DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, BUT THIS MESSAGE WAS DIFFERENT IN PREPARING THIS MESSAGE. THIS MESSAGE IS A MESSAGE OF POWER, HONOR AND GLORY TO THE LAMB OF GOD. THIS MESSAGE IS A MESSAGE OF DELIVERANCE, REDEMPTION AND VICTORY FOR EVERY CHILD OF GOD. AND THE SUBJECT MATTER FOR TONIGHT'S MESSAGE IS, "THE GREAT REDEEMER AND THE SEVEN-SEALED BOOK." AND I HOPE AFTER THIS MESSAGE TONIGHT THAT SOME OF YOU WILL HAVE A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. AND I HOPE THAT ALL OF YOU WILL HAVE A GREATER APPRECIATION OF GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION. I HAVE TWO STARTING SCRIPTURES TONIGHT, THE FIRST FOUND IN JOHN'S GOSPEL, CHAPTER 1, VERSE 29. "THE NEXT DAY JOHN SEETH JESUS COMING UNTO HIM, "AND SAITH, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD." THE SECOND SCRIPTURE IS FOUND IN LUKE, CHAPTER 19, VERSE 10, THE WORDS OF JESUS, "FOR THE SON OF MAN IS COME TO SEEK AND TO SAVE THAT WHICH WAS LOST." MANY PEOPLE DO NOT COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT JESUS IS SAYING HERE IN LUKE'S GOSPEL. YES, WE DO KNOW THAT HE CAME TO SAVE OUR SOULS, TO RECONCILE US BACK TO THE FATHER, AND GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE, TO BRING DELIVERANCE AND HEALING FOR OUR SICK BODIES. BUT JESUS DID NOT ONLY COME TO SAVE MANKIND; HE CAME TO SAVE ALL OF CREATION, AND HE CAME TO SAVE THE EARTH AND ALL THAT WAS LOST IN THE FALL IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. JESUS, HE IS THE GREAT REDEEMER KINSMAN. NOW THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE SCHOOLMASTER LEADING YOU UP TO THE NEW TESTAMENT. TO UNDERSTAND GOD'S PERFECT WILL, TO UNDERSTAND END-TIME BIBLE PROPHECY, ONE MUST HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. YOU SEE, I VIEW THE BIBLE AS A GIANT PUZZLE WITH MANY PIECES SCATTERED ABOUT, BUT ONLY WITH THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN A PERSON BEGIN TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER. EVERYTHING IN GOD'S WORD, OLD TESTAMENT AND NEW TESTAMENT ALIKE, IT FITS PERFECTLY TOGETHER; AND WHEN ALL THE PIECES ARE PUT TOGETHER WITH THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THE PICTURE YOU GET IS JESUS. JESUS IS THE PICTURE. REMEMBER IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, JESUS TOLD US THAT HE CAME TO FULFILL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. AND IT TELLS US IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION THAT JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. NOW AT THIS TIME, I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO LEVITICUS, CHAPTER 25. HERE WE LEARN ABOUT THE LAW OF REDEMPTION. PEOPLE WERE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES TO REDEEM THREE THINGS: A CLOSE RELATIVE, A SLAVE, OR A POSSESSION. NOW IF A PERSON LOST HIS LAND OR WAS FORCED INTO SLAVERY, THE OBLIGATIONS OF REDEMPTION WERE WRITTEN ON TWO SCROLLS: ONE SCROLL WAS SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS AND PUT IN A PRIVATE PLACE; THE OTHER SCROLL WAS KEPT IN PUBLIC IN THE TABERNACLE. NOW YEARS LATER, ONLY ONE SCROLL WAS NECESSARY. IT WOULD BE WRITTEN WITHIN AND WITHOUT, PUT IN A CLEAR TUBE, SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS SO THAT ON THE OUTSIDE ONE COULD READ THE QUALIFICATIONS AND THE PRICE TO BE MET FOR REDEMPTION. UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, EVERY 50th YEAR WAS CALLED THE YEAR OF JUBILEE. IN THE YEAR OF JUBILEE, EVERY PERSON, EVERY POSSESSION IN BONDAGE WAS AUTOMATICALLY SET FREE. HOWEVER, A PERSON OR POSSESSION COULD BE REDEEMED BEFORE THE YEAR OF JUBILEE, BEFORE EVERY 50th YEAR, THAT'S IF A QUALIFIED PERSON WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE OF REDEMPTION AND BREAK THE SEVEN SEALS; IN OTHER WORDS, A REDEEMER KINSMAN. NOW UNDER THE LAW, GOD SPECIFIED THREE REQUIREMENTS TO BE A REDEEMER KINSMAN: FIT, WILLING, ABLE. TO BE FIT, THE PERSON MUST BE CLOSELY RELATED TO THE ONE IN NEED OF REDEMPTION FOR HIMSELF OR PROPERTY. IT COULDN'T BE A DISTANT COUSIN. THEY HAD TO BE WILLING. OBVIOUSLY THE PERSON COULD NOT BE FORCED INTO BEING A REDEEMER KINSMAN. AND OF COURSE, ABLE: HE MUST HAVE THE MEANS WITH WHICH TO PAY THE DEBT. NOW A PERSON THINKING TO QUALIFY COULD GO TO THE COURT OF THE TABERNACLE, READ THE TERMS OF REDEMPTION FOUND ON THE OPEN PUBLIC SCROLL, THEN HE COULD BRING THE PRICE OF REDEMPTION TO THE PRIEST OR THE JUDGE AND DEMAND THAT THE SEALED DOCUMENT BE OPENED, THE DEBTOR FREED AND HIS PROPERTY RETURNED TO HIM. THROUGHOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT, WE FIND EXAMPLES OF REDEMPTION UNDER THE LAW. JEREMIAH, CHAPTER 32: HERE THIS GREAT PROPHET UNDER GOD'S DIRECTION BECAME A REDEEMER KINSMAN FOR HIS FIRST COUSIN. AND I TAKE YOU TO JEREMIAH, CHAPTER 32, BEGINNING IN VERSE SIX, "AND JEREMIAH SAID, "THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING, "BEHOLD, HANAMEEL THE SON OF SHALLUM THINE UNCLE "SHALL COME UNTO THEE, SAYING, "BUY THEE MY FIELD THAT IS IN ANATHOTH: "FOR THE RIGHT OF REDEMPTION IS THINE "TO BUY IT. "SO HANAMEEL MINE UNCLE'S SON CAME TO ME "IN THE COURT OF THE PRISON "ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF THE LORD, "AND SAID UNTO ME, BUY MY FIELD, "I PRAY THEE, THAT IS IN ANATHOTH, "WHICH IS IN THE COUNTRY OF BENJAMIN: "FOR THE RIGHT OF INHERITANCE IS THINE, "AND THE REDEMPTION IS THINE; "BUY IT FOR THYSELF. "THEN I KNEW THAT THIS WAS THE WORD OF THE LORD. "AND I BOUGHT THE FIELD OF HANAMEEL MY UNCLE'S SON, "THAT WAS IN ANATHOTH, "AND WEIGHED HIM THE MONEY, "EVEN SEVENTEEN SHEKELS OF SILVER. "AND I SUBSCRIBED THE EVIDENCE, "AND SEALED IT, AND TOOK WITNESSES, "AND WEIGHED HIM THE MONEY IN THE BALANCES. "SO I TOOK THE EVIDENCE OF THE PURCHASE, "BOTH THAT WHICH WAS SEALED "ACCORDING TO THE LAW AND CUSTOM, AND THAT WHICH WAS OPEN." MOVING TO VERSE 14. "THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, "THE GOD OF ISRAEL; "TAKE THESE EVIDENCES, "THIS EVIDENCE OF THE PURCHASE, "BOTH WHICH IS SEALED, "AND THIS EVIDENCE WHICH IS OPEN; "AND PUT THEM IN AN EARTHEN VESSEL, "THAT THEY MAY CONTINUE MANY DAYS. "FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, "THE GOD OF ISRAEL; "HOUSES AND FIELDS AND VINEYARDS SHALL BE POSSESSED AGAIN IN THIS LAND." NOW IN THIS CHAPTER, THESE INSTRUCTIONS WERE GIVEN BY GOD ON PURPOSE AS A SIGN TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL, FOR ALTHOUGH ISRAEL WOULD SOON GO INTO CAPTIVITY BY BABYLON AND LOSE THE LAND, ONE DAY GOD WOULD BRING HIS PEOPLE BACK AND RESTORE THE LAND TO HIS PEOPLE. NOW HERE JEREMIAH'S COUSIN HAD FALLEN INTO BONDAGE, LOST HIS POSSESSION, AND JEREMIAH WAS RELATED CLOSELY ENOUGH TO BE A REDEEMER KINSMAN. HE WAS WILLING TO REDEEM AND HE HAD THE SILVER REQUIRED. NOW THIS IS A TRUE PICTURE OF WHAT IS TO COME. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO REDEEM OURSELVES, BUT JESUS, THE GREAT REDEEMER MET ALL OF THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR OUR REDEMPTION. NOW IN THE BOOK OF RUTH, HERE THIS PRESENTS A PERFECT PICTURE OF EARTH'S MORTGAGE BEING MET BY JESUS. THE OLD TESTAMENT IS FILLED WITH MANY TYPES AND SHADOWS OF THE FUTURE. AND IN THE BOOK OF RUTH, BOAZ IS A TYPE OF JESUS CHRIST. RUTH IS A TYPE OF THE GENTILE BRIDE. AND NOTICE, AS I EXPLAIN THIS STORY, NOTICE CAREFULLY THEIR ACTIONS AND THEIR WORDS, EACH OF THEM. NOW NAOMI, SHE WAS RUTH'S MOTHER-IN-LAW, AND IN THIS STORY YEARS PRIOR, NAOMI WITH HER HUSBAND AND TWO SONS, THEY LEFT ISRAEL DURING A FAMINE AND DWELT IN THE LAND OF MOAB. IN MOAB, HER TWO SONS MARRIED MOABITE GIRLS. LATER NAOMI'S HUSBAND AND TWO SONS DIED. NOW IN THE BOOK OF RUTH, NAOMI DECIDES TO RETURN TO THE LAND OF HER PEOPLE IN ISRAEL. BOTH HER DAUGHTERS-IN-LAW START OUT WITH NAOMI TO GO BACK TO ISRAEL, HOWEVER, ONE WAS NOT CONSECRATED AND DEDICATED TO GOD. SHE HAD NOT ACCEPTED THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD, AND AFTER SO LONG SHE TURNED BACK. BUT RUTH WAS DIFFERENT. SHE WAS SERIOUS ABOUT SERVING GOD, AND SHE PROVED HERSELF WHEN NAOMI TRIED TO CONVINCE HER TO GO BACK. RUTH, CHAPTER 1, VERSES 15 AND 16, "BEHOLD, THY SISTER IN LAW IS GONE BACK "UNTO HER PEOPLE, "AND UNTO HER GODS: "RETURN THOU AFTER THY SISTER IN LAW. "AND RUTH SAID, INTREAT ME NOT TO LEAVE THEE, "OR TO RETURN FROM FOLLOWING AFTER THEE: "FOR WHITHER THOU GOEST, I WILL GO; "AND WHERE THOU LODGEST, I WILL LODGE: "THY PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND THY GOD MY GOD." WHEN THEY ARRIVED IN ISRAEL, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT NAOMI'S PROPERTY WAS IN BONDAGE. SOMEONE HAD TAKEN IT OVER. NAOMI NEEDED A REDEEMER KINSMAN. RUTH, CHAPTER 2, VERSE 1, "NAOMI HAD A KINSMAN OF HER HUSBAND'S, A MIGHTY MAN OF WEALTH." HERE THIS SCRIPTURE SPEAKS OF BOAZ, AND BOAZ WAS INDEED WILLING TO REDEEM THE LAND. HOWEVER, THERE WAS SOMEONE MORE CLOSELY RELATED TO NAOMI, AND REMEMBER, UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, THE NEAREST OF KIN HAD FIRST CHOICE, FIRST CHANCE AT REDEMPTION. SO BOAZ WENT TO THIS NEAREST KINSMAN AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. RUTH, CHAPTER 4, VERSE 5, "THEN SAID BOAZ, "WHAT DAY THOU BUYEST THE FIELD "OF THE HAND OF NAOMI, "THOU MUST BUY IT ALSO OF RUTH THE MOABITESS, "THE WIFE OF THE DEAD, "TO RAISE UP THE NAME OF THE DEAD UPON HIS INHERITANCE." NOW THE NEAREST OF KINSMAN THOUGHT ABOUT THIS. HE COUNTED THE COST AND DECLARED THAT HE COULD NOT PAY THIS PRICE LEST HE MAR HIS OWN INHERITANCE. NOW RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE THIS ILLUSTRATES THE HELPLESS CONDITION OF MAN WANTING TO REDEEM, BUT UNABLE TO REDEEM, UNABLE TO DO SO. HOWEVER, BOAZ, A TYPE OF JESUS, WAS FIT, WILLING AND ABLE, AND HE REDEEMED THE LOST PROPERTY; AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HE TOOK RUTH TO WIFE. HE TOOK A GENTILE BRIDE TO WIFE. IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN WHEN ADAM AND EVE SINNED, THEY LOST EVERYTHING FOR THEMSELVES AND FOR THE HUMAN RACE. ADAM FORFEITED HIS RIGHT AS HEAD OF THE HUMAN RACE. HE HAD SOLD OUT EVERYTHING INTO THE HANDS OF THE DEVIL. THEY LOST ETERNAL LIFE. THEY LOST THEIR PART IN THE FAMILY OF GOD. THEY LOST GOOD HEALTH. THEY LOST EVERYTHING, AND THROUGH THEIR SIN A CURSE WAS PLACED, NOT ONLY ON THE HUMAN RACE, BUT UPON CREATION AND THE EARTH. GENESIS, CHAPTER 3, VERSES 17 AND 18, THE WORDS OF GOD, "CURSED IS THE GROUND FOR THY SAKE; "IN SORROW SHALT THOU EAT OF IT "ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE; "THORNS AND THISTLES SHALL IT BRING FORTH TO THEE; AND THOU SHALT EAT THE HERB OF THE FIELD." AND THEN IN VERSE 14 OF THIS SAME CHAPTER, "AND THE LORD GOD SAID UNTO THE SERPENT, BECAUSE THOU HAST DONE THIS," MEANING PERSUADED ADAM AND EVE TO SIN AGAINST GOD, "THOU ART CURSED ABOVE ALL CATTLE, "AND ABOVE EVERY BEAST OF THE FIELD; "UPON THY BELLY SHALT THOU GO, AND DUST SHALT THOU EAT ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE." AND FOR 6000 YEARS, THE ANIMALS, THE GROUND, THE VEGETATION HAS BEEN UNDER GREAT BONDAGE AND MUCH SUFFERING. THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, LIKE THE HUMAN RACE, HAS AN APPOINTMENT OF DEATH. IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, THEY KILL AND DEVOUR EACH OTHER. THE LAND AND THE AIR IS INFESTED WITH INSECTS OF ALL KINDS. THE EARTH IS FULL OF EARTHQUAKES, PLAGUES, AND FAMINES, VIOLENT STORMS SUCH AS HURRICANES, TORNADOES. DARK CLOUDS GATHER OVER THE EARTH; THE THUNDER ROARS AND THE LIGHTNING FLASHES. THE EFFECTS OF THE CURSE EVEN LED THE APOSTLE PAUL TO WRITE IN ROMANS 8:22, "FOR WE KNOW THAT THE WHOLE CREATION GROANETH AND TRAVAILETH IN PAIN TOGETHER UNTIL NOW." YES, FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, ALL OF CREATION, THE EARTH, THE ANIMAL KINGDOM HAS GROANED AND SUFFERED UNDER THIS GREAT YOKE OF BONDAGE CALLED THE CURSE. BUT NOW THIS SETS THE STAGE FOR WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, I TAKE YOU TO CHAPTERS 4 AND 5: ON THE ISLE OF PATMOS, JOHN THE REVELATOR IS THERE. SUDDENLY HE'S CAUGHT UP IN THE VISION. HE'S RAPTURED TO HEAVEN IN THIS VISION, STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD. NOW IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND HERE IN THIS VISION, JOHN IS THE TYPE OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST HAVING BEEN RAPTURED TO HEAVEN. THE SOUL AND THE BODY HAVE ALREADY, HAVE ALREADY BEEN REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS. HOWEVER, THE EARTH, IT HAS NOT MET ITS REDEMPTION. IN REVELATION, CHAPTER 5, JOHN BEHOLDS GOD ALMIGHTY SITTING UPON HIS THRONE WITH A BOOK IN HIS RIGHT HAND, A BOOK WITH SEVEN SEALS, AND JOHN KNOWS WHAT THIS BOOK IS. HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT THIS BOOK IS ALL ABOUT BECAUSE HE UNDERSTANDS THE LAW OF REDEMPTION. THIS SEVEN-SEALED BOOK THAT GOD HOLDS UPON HIS THRONE IS A BOOK OF REDEMPTION FOR THE WHOLE EARTH. REVELATION, CHAPTER 5, BEGINNING IN VERSE 1, "AND I SAW IN THE RIGHT HAND "OF HIM THAT SAT ON THE THRONE "A BOOK WRITTEN WITHIN "AND ON THE BACKSIDE, "SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS. "AND I SAW A STRONG ANGEL "PROCLAIMING WITH A LOUD VOICE, "WHO IS WORTHY TO OPEN THE BOOK, "AND TO LOOSE THE SEALS THEREOF? "AND NO MAN IN HEAVEN, "NOR IN EARTH, "NEITHER UNDER THE EARTH, "WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE BOOK, "NEITHER TO LOOK THEREON. "AND I WEPT MUCH, "BECAUSE NO MAN WAS FOUND WORTHY "TO OPEN AND TO READ THE BOOK, NEITHER TO LOOK THEREON." JOHN IS WELL AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF A QUALIFIED PERSON BEING ABLE TO BREAK THE SEALS IN ORDER TO REDEEM ALL THAT WAS LOST. HEAVEN WAS SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE, ANYONE FIT, WILLING AND ABLE. WHAT QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE EXPECTED OF A PERSON FOR THE REDEMPTION OF THE WHOLE EARTH? HEAVEN WAS SEARCHING, LOOKING NOT ONLY IN HEAVEN, BUT LOOKING ON THE EARTH, LOOKING EVEN UNDER THE EARTH. AND JOHN WEPT MUCH WHEN IT APPEARED THAT A REDEEMER COULD NOT BE FOUND. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE EARTH? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE ANIMAL KINGDOM? WOULD THEIR CURSE EVER BE LIFTED? WOULD THE EARTH EVER BECOME LIKE THE GARDEN OF EDEN ONCE AGAIN? IN REVELATION, CHAPTER 5, VERSE 4... AND I TAKE YOU, AND I BEGIN TO READ, "AND I WEPT MUCH, "BECAUSE NO MAN WAS FOUND WORTHY "TO OPEN AND TO READ THE BOOK, "NEITHER TO LOOK THEREON. "AND ONE OF THE ELDERS SAID UNTO ME, WEEP NOT: "BEHOLD, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDA, "THE ROOT OF DAVID, "HATH PREVAILED TO OPEN THE BOOK, "AND TO LOOSE THE SEVEN SEALS THEREOF. "AND I BEHELD, "AND, LO, IN THE MIDST OF THE THRONE, "AND IN THE MIDST OF THE FOUR BEASTS, "AND IN THE MIDST OF THE ELDERS, "STOOD A LAMB AS IT HAD BEEN SLAIN, "HAVING SEVEN HORNS AND SEVEN EYES, "WHICH ARE THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD "SENT FORTH INTO ALL THE EARTH. "AND HE CAME AND HE TOOK THE BOOK "OUT OF THE RIGHT HAND "OF HIM THAT SAT UPON THE THRONE. "AND WHEN HE HAD TAKEN THE BOOK, "THE FOUR BEASTS AND THE FOUR AND TWENTY ELDERS "FELL DOWN BEFORE THE LAMB, "HAVING EVERY ONE OF THEM HARPS, "AND GOLDEN VIALS FULL OF ODOURS, "WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS. "AND THEY SUNG A NEW SONG, SAYING, "THOU ART WORTHY TO TAKE THE BOOK, "AND TO OPEN THE SEALS THEREOF: "FOR THOU WAST SLAIN, "AND HAST REDEEMED US TO GOD BY THY BLOOD "OUT OF EVERY KINDRED, "AND TONGUE, AND PEOPLE, AND NATION; "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH." HERE IN THIS SCRIPTURE READING IT IS CONFIRMED: SALVATION AND REDEMPTION FOR MAN AND THE EARTH ONLY COMES THROUGH THE DIVINE BLOOD OF JESUS. JESUS IS THE GREAT REDEEMER. HE IS THE ONLY ONE FOUND WORTHY TO REDEEM MAN AND CREATION AND ALL THAT WAS LOST IN THE FALL IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. JESUS IS THE GREAT REDEEMER. NUMBER ONE, HE WAS FIT. HE WAS FIT; HE BECAME RELATED TO THE HUMAN RACE. HE WAS BORN OF THE *** MARY. THE HOLY GHOST OVERSHADOWED THAT *** AND SHE CONCEIVED IN HER WOMB THE CHILD JESUS. HE WAS VERY GOD AS WELL AS VERY MAN, THE DIFFERENCE: HE HAD DIVINE BLOOD FLOWING IN HIS VEINS. NUMBER TWO, HE WAS WILLING. WHY, HE DECLARED IN HEBREWS, CHAPTER 10, VERSE 7, "LO, I COME "(IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME,) O GOD, TO DO THY WILL." AND NUMBER THREE, HE WAS ABLE. IN THAT BODY OF FLESH THAT HE CAME TO THE EARTH, HE CARRIED DIVINE BLOOD; AND ONLY HIS SINLESS BLOOD COULD BE WORTHY FOR REDEMPTION. HEBREWS, CHAPTER 9, VERSE 22, "WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD IS NO REDEMPTION, OR REMISSION." I PETER, CHAPTER 1, VERSES 18 AND 19, "FORASMUCH AS YE KNOW "THAT YE WERE NOT REDEEMED WITH CORRUPTIBLE THINGS, "AS SILVER AND GOLD, "BUT WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, "AS OF A LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH AND WITHOUT SPOT." GOD'S TRUE CHILDREN, THEY HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED THEIR REDEMPTION. BUT THE EARTH'S REDEMPTION WILL NOT COME UNTIL AFTER THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD, AND THIS PERIOD OF TIME WILL TAKE PLACE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE RAPTURE OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST TO HEAVEN. DURING THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD, GOD'S WRATH WILL FALL UPON MANKIND LIKE THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN. IT WILL FALL IN THE WAY OF SEVEN SEALS, SEVEN TRUMPETS, AND SEVEN VIALS. JESUS IN HEAVEN WILL BREAK THE SEVEN SEALS ON THE BOOK ONE BY ONE, SETTING IN MOTION THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD. WITH EACH SEAL BROKEN COMES DREADFUL JUDGMENT: PLAGUES AND FAMINE, VICIOUS DEMONIC ARMIES UNLEASHED UPON THE WORLD. DEATH, DESTRUCTION, MISERY BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION WILL ENGULF THIS WORLD. AS ABUNDANTLY AS GOD HAS POURED OUT HIS MERCY FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, HE WILL NOW POUR OUT HIS JUDGMENT. THE HUMAN RACE DEFILED GOD'S EARTH WITH SIN, AND NOW GOD WILL PURIFY HIS EARTH THROUGH JUDGMENT. WHEN THE SEVENTH AND FINAL SEAL IS BROKEN, THE GREAT CHAOS OF THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD WILL CONCLUDE WITH THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON, THE WAR OF ALL NATIONS, THE WAR TO END ALL WARS. AND JESUS WILL COME ON A WHITE HORSE AS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. HE WILL COME AND BRING AN ARMY OF ANGELS AND SAINTS. HE WILL COME TO RESCUE THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL, TO FINISH THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON, AND HE WILL COME TO CONQUER EVERY ENEMY AND ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM UPON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH. THE EARTH'S REDEMPTION WILL BE COMPLETE WHEN ALL OF GOD'S ENEMIES ARE CONQUERED, THE ANTICHRIST AND ANTISPIRIT ARE CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. AND THEN IN REVELATION, CHAPTER 11, BEGINNING IN VERSE 15, "AND THE SEVENTH ANGEL SOUNDED; "AND THERE WERE GREAT VOICES IN HEAVEN, SAYING, "THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD "ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, "AND OF HIS CHRIST; "AND HE SHALL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER. "AND THE FOUR AND TWENTY ELDERS, "WHICH SAT BEFORE GOD ON THEIR SEATS, "FELL UPON THEIR FACES, AND WORSHIPPED GOD, SAYING, "WE GIVE THEE THANKS, O LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, "WHICH ART, AND WAST, AND ART TO COME; "BECAUSE THOU HAST TAKEN TO THEE THY GREAT POWER, "AND HAST REIGNED. "AND THE NATIONS WERE ANGRY, AND THY WRATH IS COME, "AND THE TIME OF THE DEAD, THAT THEY SHOULD BE JUDGED, "AND THAT THOU SHOULDEST GIVE REWARD "UNTO THY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS, "AND TO THE SAINTS, "AND THEM THAT FEAR THY NAME, "SMALL AND GREAT; AND SHOULDEST DESTROY THEM WHICH DESTROY THE EARTH." ONE ANGEL THEN WITH ONE CHAIN OF BLOOD WILL BIND LUCIFER, CAST HIM INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS IN THE PERFECT AGE. REVELATION 20, BEGINNING IN VERSE 1, "AND I SAW AN ANGEL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, "HAVING THE KEY OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT "AND A GREAT CHAIN IN HIS HAND. "AND HE LAID HOLD ON THE DRAGON, "THAT OLD SERPENT, WHICH IS THE DEVIL, AND SATAN, "AND BOUND HIM A THOUSAND YEARS, "AND CAST HIM INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT, "AND SHUT HIM UP, "AND SET A SEAL UPON HIM, "THAT HE SHOULD DECEIVE THE NATIONS NO MORE, TILL THE THOUSAND YEARS BE FULFILLED." THIS EVENT WILL USHER IN THE THOUSAND YEAR PERFECT AGE. IN THIS AGE, THIS THOUSAND YEARS, THERE WILL BE NO SICKNESSES AND DISEASES; THERE WILL BE NO BUGS, THORNS AND THISTLES, NO VIOLENT STORMS OF ANY KIND. AND YES, THERE WILL BE NO DEATH. THE PROPHETS OF OLD WERE GIVEN A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE BY GOD SHOWING US THE RESULTS OF THE EARTH'S REDEMPTION. ISAIAH DESCRIBED THE REDEEMED EARTH IN ISAIAH 35, VERSES 1 AND 7: "THE WILDERNESS AND THE SOLITARY PLACE "SHALL BE GLAD FOR THEM; "AND THE DESERT SHALL REJOICE, "AND BLOSSOM AS A ROSE. "AND THE PARCHED GROUND SHALL BECOME A POOL, "AND THE THIRSTY LAND SPRINGS OF WATER: "IN THE HABITATION OF DRAGONS, "WHERE EACH LAY, SHALL BE GRASS WITH REEDS AND RUSHES." THINK OF IT, NO MORE DESERT, NO MORE POOR SOIL; THERE WILL BE NO LIFELESS GROUND. AMOS, CHAPTER 9, VERSE 13, "BEHOLD, "THE DAYS COME, SAITH THE LORD, "THAT THE PLOWMAN SHALL OVERTAKE THE REAPER, "AND THE TREADER OF GRAPES HIM THAT SOWETH SEED; "AND THE MOUNTAINS SHALL DROP SWEET WINE, AND ALL THE HILLS SHALL MELT." YES, THE HARVEST WILL BE SO GREAT THAT BEFORE IT CAN ALL BE REAPED IT WILL BE TIME TO PLANT SEED ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS REDEMPTION FOR THE EARTH. EZEKIEL 34:27, "AND THE TREE OF THE FIELD SHALL YIELD HER FRUIT, "AND THE EARTH SHALL YIELD HER INCREASE, AND THEY SHALL BE SAFE IN THEIR LAND." YES, PLANTS AND TREES WILL BE SAFE FROM WEEDS, AND INSECTS AND ALL DESTRUCTIVE MATTERS. AND YES, THE LORD, HE HAS NOT FORGOTTEN HIS COVENANT WITH THE ANIMAL KINGDOM. HOSEA 2:18, "AND IN THAT DAY WILL I MAKE A COVENANT FOR THEM "WITH THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD, "AND WITH THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN, "AND WITH THE CREEPING THINGS OF THE GROUND: "AND I WILL BREAK THE BOW AND THE SWORD "AND THE BATTLE OUT OF THE EARTH, AND WILL MAKE THEM TO LIE DOWN SAFELY." ISAIAH 11, VERSES 6 THROUGH 9, "THE WOLF ALSO SHALL DWELL WITH THE LAMB, "AND THE LEOPARD SHALL LIE DOWN WITH THE KID; "AND THE CALF AND THE YOUNG LION "AND THE FATLING TOGETHER; "AND A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM. "AND THE COW AND THE BEAR SHALL FEED; "AND THEIR YOUNG ONES SHALL LIE DOWN TOGETHER: "AND THE LION SHALL EAT STRAW LIKE THE OX. "AND THE SUCKING CHILD SHALL PLAY "ON THE HOLE OF THE ASP, "AND THE WEANED CHILD SHALL PUT HIS HAND "ON THE COCKATRICE' DEN. "THEY SHALL NOT HURT NOR DESTROY "IN ALL MY HOLY MOUNTAIN: "FOR THE EARTH SHALL BE FULL "OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD, AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA." ANIMALS, SUCH AS THE LION, WILL NO LONGER EAT MEAT. FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, ANIMALS THAT WERE PREDATOR AND PREY WILL NOW DWELL TOGETHER. HOWEVER, NOTICE THIS: THE LORD REMEMBERS WHAT THE SERPENT DID IN THE GARDEN, AND THE CURSE WILL NOT BE LIFTED FROM THE SERPENT. ISAIAH 65:25, "AND DUST SHALL BE THE SERPENT'S MEAT." OH, WHAT A BLESSED TIME AS CHRIST WITH HIS SAINTS RULE THE NATIONS FOR A THOUSAND YEARS: NO DEVIL, NO DEMONS, NO SIN, NO TRIALS, NO TEMPTATIONS. THE REDEEMED EARTH IS MEANT TO BELONG TO THE SAINTS OF GOD, NOT THE DEVIL AND THE UNHOLY. JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW'S GOSPEL, CHAPTER 5, VERSE 5, "BLESSED ARE THE MEEK: FOR THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH." AND MANY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS PROMISE, BUT JESUS MEANT WHAT HE SAID: THE EARTH WILL BELONG TO THE SAINTS OF GOD AS THEY RULE WITH CHRIST FOR A THOUSAND YEARS IN THE PERFECT AGE. FRIEND, TAKE HEED TO WHAT I'VE TOLD YOU IN THIS MESSAGE TONIGHT. EVERYTHING I'VE TOLD YOU IS BACKED BY THE WORD OF GOD. THESE ARE END-TIME BIBLE PROPHECIES. IT'S GOD'S WINDOW OF MERCY, GIVING YOU A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE, SHOWING YOU THAT WHICH IS TO COME, AND GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO PREPARE AND MAKE READY. WHY DID GOD FOLLOW THE PATTERN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT REDEEMER KINSMAN IN PROVIDING US REDEMPTION THROUGH CHRIST? WHY DID JOHN BEHOLD ALL HEAVEN SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE WORTHY TO BE A REDEEMER, SEARCHING ALL OF HEAVEN, THE EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH? BECAUSE GOD IS EMPHASIZING JESUS. HE IS YOUR ONLY REDEEMER, THE ONLY ONE WORTHY, THE ONLY ONE ACCEPTED BY GOD THE FATHER TO BE YOUR SIN-BEARER AND YOUR SICKNESS-BEARER. ACTS, CHAPTER 4, VERSE 12, "NEITHER IS SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: "FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN "GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED." AND IN PHILIPPIANS, CHAPTER 2, BEGINNING IN VERSE 9, "WHEREFORE GOD ALSO HATH HIGHLY EXALTED HIM, "AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME: "THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, "OF THINGS IN HEAVEN, AND THINGS IN EARTH, "AND THINGS UNDER THE EARTH; "AND THAT EVERY TONGUE SHOULD CONFESS "THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER." ALL HEAVEN AND EARTH WERE SEARCHED TO FIND SOMEONE TO REDEEM THE EARTH, BUT ONLY THE LAMB OF GOD WAS WORTHY, FOR ONLY HE HAD SINLESS BLOOD THAT COULD BE USED AS A SACRIFICE TO PAY THE PRICE. BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, THE GREAT REDEEMER. ONLY THROUGH HIM CAN YOU FIND SALVATION, FORGIVENESS OF SINS, AND ETERNAL LIFE. ONLY THROUGH HIM WILL YOU ESCAPE THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD THAT IS COMING UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. AND WITH JESUS IN YOUR HEART AND THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM WITHIN, YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE RAPTURE, THE ONE FLIGHT OUT, GOD'S PLAN OF ESCAPE FOR MANKIND. AND I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS FINAL SCRIPTURE IN I THESSALONIANS, CHAPTER 4, VERSES 16 AND 17, "FOR THE LORD HIMSELF SHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN "WITH A SHOUT, "WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, "AND WITH THE TRUMP OF GOD: "AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST: "THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN "SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, "TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR: AND SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD." GOD BLESS YOU TONIGHT. [applause] THAT'S A GREAT MESSAGE, BUT HE DIDN'T TELL YOU IT WOULD BE CONTINUED THE NEXT TIME HE SPEAKS, I DON'T BELIEVE. BUT ANYWAY, HE'LL HAVE TO CONTINUE IT, DIDN'T GET ALL OF IT. AND WHEN THE SEALS ARE BROKEN, THINGS REALLY TAKE PLACE. AND WHEN THE FIRST SEAL IS BROKEN, ALL HELL TURNS LOOSE BECAUSE THE RIDER ON THE WHITE HORSE, THE DECEIVING ANTICHRIST APPEARS, A BOW IS IN HIS HANDS AND CROWNS UPON HIS HEAD. HE GOES FORTH CONQUERING AND TO CONQUER. AND I SAY, ALL HELL BOILS OVER FOR SURE. HE PRESENTS HIMSELF, MAKES A COVENANT WITH THE JEWS FOR SEVEN YEARS, WHICH IS THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD. I'M GLAD WE WON'T BE HERE. THE TRUE SAINTS OF GOD WILL BE GONE, THOSE THAT ARE FULL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, ON FIRE FOR GOD, THEY WILL ESCAPE. "COME MY CHILDREN AND ENTER INTO MY CHAMBER UNTIL THE INDIGNATION PASSES." AND WE'LL BE HID AWAY WITH THE LORD. HOW WONDERFUL THAT WILL BE. BUT HE COMES AS A FAKE ONE, A FAKE SAVIOR, A FAKE JESUS. HOW SAD. ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES WAS A TYPE, WHEN ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS RULING OVER GREECE. BUT HE DIDN'T MAKE THE GRADE. NO. THE MACCABEES BROTHERS, THE OLDEST ONE KILLED HIM, BUT HE WAS A TYPE AND A REAL TYPE, THE MOST VICIOUS MAN TO EVER BE ON PLANET EARTH, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNTIL THE ANTICHRIST MAKES HIS APPEARANCE; AND HE WILL BE JUST AS VICIOUS, JUST AS TERRIBLE, JUST AS AWFUL. BUT IT'S WONDERFUL, THE JESUS WE SERVE. WE'RE GOING TO BE GONE. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER PEOPLE BELIEVE IT OR NOT. "FOR WHAT IF SOME DID NOT BELIEVE? "SHALL THEIR UNBELIEF MAKE THE FAITH OF GOD "OF NONE EFFECT? "GOD FORBID: YEA, LET GOD BE TRUE, AND EVERY MAN A LIAR." MANY PEOPLE ARE LYING AGAINST GOD'S HOLY BOOK. THEY'LL WAKE UP TOO LATE ONE DAY. EVERYBODY'S GOING TO WAKE UP; EITHER ON EARTH OR IN HELL, THEY'RE GOING TO WAKE UP. EVEN THE DEVIL AND ALL OF HIS IMPS WILL HAVE TO CONFESS THAT JESUS IS LORD, THAT HE IS LORD OF ALL, AND HOW WE WILL REJOICE. SINNER, COME TO JESUS. YOU THAT ARE LISTENING BY RADIO AND BY TELEVISION, PUT YOUR HAND ON THE TELEVISION SCREEN OR REACH OVER AND TOUCH THE RADIO. GIVE YOUR HEART TO GOD RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW. HELP ME SAY THE SINNER'S PRAYER, YOU THAT ARE IN THIS GREAT CONGREGATION TONIGHT THAT ARE LIVING FOR GOD. YOU THAT ARE NOT, GIVE YOUR HEARTS TO GOD. SAY, OH, GOD! [audience repeats] I AM LOST! I AM IN THE DARKEST OF NIGHT, STEEPED IN SIN AND DEGRADATION. PLEASE, GOD, I'M COMING OUT OF THE NIGHT. YOU SAID IF I WOULD CONFESS MY SINS, YOU WOULD FORGIVE ME, YOU WOULD CLEANSE ME FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. AND I BELIEVE! I'M CONFESSING TONIGHT WITH GODLY SORROW, AND I KNOW THAT YOU KEEP YOUR WORD. AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU WERE BORN OF THE *** MARY, AND THE DIVINE BLOOD WASHES AWAY ALL OF MY SINS, ALL OF MY SINS! SAY, COME INTO MY HEART, JESUS! COME ON IN, JESUS! COME ON IN! IF YOU MEANT IT, HE HAS COME; HE IS YOURS. BUT YOU GO ON AND RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT. YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THAT PENTECOST TO MAKE IT WITH THE ONE FLIGHT OUT. HE SAID HE'D GIVE THE HOLY GHOST TO THEM THAT OBEY HIM. WHEN YOU DON'T RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM, THAT'S DISOBEDIENCE, AND HE SAID HE'S COMING AFTER A PEOPLE WITHOUT SPOT, WRINKLE, BLEMISH OR ANY SUCH THING. SO... THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH WITHIN YOU. THE VIRGINS: FIVE WISE, FIVE FOOLISH; THE FIVE FOOLISH DIDN'T HAVE OIL. THEY HAD THEIR LAMP, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE OIL TO TRIM THAT LAMP. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THE OIL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GO IN THE ONE FLIGHT OUT. AND NOW, YOU CAN BE HEALED. HE'S THE HEALING CHRIST: SOUL, MIND AND BODY. IF YOU DON'T HAVE MY HEALING BOOK, "HEALING FROM HEAVEN," YOU CAN GET IT. IT HASN'T BEEN OFF THE PRESS VERY LONG, BUT IT'S BLESSING PEOPLE AND HELPING PEOPLE TO GET MIRACLES. IT'S THE TRUTH, THE JESUS TRUTH. LORD, HERE THEY ARE. HEAL THEM OF AIDS, THE AIDS VIRUS, LEPROSY, DIABETES, HEART TROUBLE, LUNG TROUBLE, STROKES, DEFORMITIES. HEAL! AS ONLY YOU CAN DO. HEAL! IN THE HOLY NAME OF THE LORD. LET THEM FEEL YOUR HOLY POWER NOW! AND HEAL! HEAL! IN THE HOLY, HOLY NAME OF JESUS THROUGH THE BLOOD THAT HE SHED AT THE WHIPPING POST. AND WITH HIS BLOOD STRIPES, ISAIAH THE GREAT PROPHET SAID, "WE ARE HEALED." PRAISE YE THE LORD. GET WELL; SERVE THE LORD. WRITE IN AND TELL US ABOUT IT SO WE CAN REJOICE WITH YOU OVER WHAT THE LORD HAS GIVEN YOU THROUGH THIS MESSAGE TONIGHT. AND BE TUNED IN IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE REV. MACHAMER WILL FINISH.
