Chapters

• 00:00 - 03:00: Introduction and Overview The chapter titled 'Introduction and Overview' begins with a mention of the title 'The Emerging Remnant', indicating that the topics covered may be interconnected. The speaker notes their last engagement with the topic of the sanctuary was in 1964, highlighting the passage of time since then. Back then, they covered approximately 15 sermons, incorporating the seven churches and the Seven Seals, suggesting these elements could have further clarified the current discussion. The chapter aims to cohesively link these various elements.
• 03:00 - 10:00: Prophecy and the Emerging Remnant The chapter titled 'Prophecy and the Emerging Remnant' discusses the book of Revelation, particularly chapter 17, where prophecy identifies a corrupt power symbolized as a harlot. In biblical prophecy, a woman is often used to represent the church, with a pure woman symbolizing a faithful church. The chapter explores the uncomfortable truths revealed by prophecy, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging these truths even when they challenge established beliefs.
• 10:00 - 33:00: Historical Context: The Seven Churches and Reformation In this chapter, the text delves into the metaphorical representation of the church within Christian theology. A pure woman symbolizes God's true church, while an adulterous woman represents the apostate or fallen church. Revelation 17 is referenced, where this fallen church is described not only as a harlot but also as the mother of other impure churches, which are metaphorically depicted as daughters who have emerged from her and still maintain a critical connection to their mother church. This imagery serves to emphasize themes of religious purity and apostasy.
• 33:00 - 50:00: The Role of the Remnant Church The chapter discusses the concept of the 'Remnant Church' and its relationship with ecclesiastical authority. It highlights how Sunday observance is perceived as a 'Mark of authority' by certain religious powers and suggests that churches observing Sunday are, in essence, paying homage to the papacy. Despite this, there is comfort in knowing the Remnant Church remains distinct and not controlled by such influences.
• 50:00 - 62:00: The Message of the Remnant Church The chapter titled 'The Message of the Remnant Church' discusses the identity and significance of the remnant church. It clarifies that the remnant church is not an offshoot or a splinter group, but rather a church fulfilling its prophetic destiny as foretold in biblical prophecy. The chapter references the 2300-year prophecy of the sanctuary, indicating that the Bible predicted the specific emergence of what is identified in scripture as the 'Remnant Church.' This points to the belief that this church has a special role in religious history and prophecy.
• 62:00 - 75:00: The Global Mission and Structure The chapter discusses the unique traits of a group identified in a religious context. This group is distinguished by their adherence to the Commandments of God and their possession of the testimony of Jesus, which is noted as the spirit of Prophecy according to Revelation 19:10. The reference to Revelation 12:17 suggests these traits set them apart from those who follow a man claiming to be God. Emphasis is placed on the importance of taking notes for better understanding.
• 75:00 - 87:00: Conclusion and Invitation The church faced attempts to be destroyed through persecution, notably during Diocesan’s reign, but maintained endurance as supported by Jesus' declarations.
• 87:00 - 93:00: Closing Remarks and Contact Information In this chapter titled 'Closing Remarks and Contact Information,' the speaker references a biblical quote 'Upon This Rock I will build my church and the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail.' The term 'hell' used here is clarified to be the Greek word Hades, meaning 'the grave.' Historically, the chapter notes that the church faced persecution only after Christ overcame the devil by rising from the dead. The significance of this change is briefly touched upon with Jesus's warning to his disciples about forthcoming challenges, including persecution.

• 00:00 - 00:30 [Music] our title is the emerging Remnant and you've learned night after night that these sort of tie together the last time I did anything on the sanctuary was in 1964 that's a long time ago and at that time we did about 15 sermons and we included the seven churches and the Seven Seals and messages like that which if we had had a time to bring them before you would have made this even more clear but we're trying to tie the all
• 00:30 - 01:00 together now ladies and gentlemen the Bible contains straight truth and sometimes straight truth makes one uncomfortable yes in Revelation chapter 17 the Lord through prophecy puts the finger on this apostate power we've been talking about and he calls her a harlot a harlot and we learned that in Prophecy a woman represents the church a pure and clean

• 01:30 - 02:00 and spokesman for this particular power have said that Sunday is their Mark of authority in ecclesiastical matters and that all churches who bow down to Sunday keeping are paying homage in spite of themselves to the papacy when we think of the emerging Remnant it is comforting to know that she is not of the
• 02:00 - 02:30 daughters she didn't split off that way she's not an offshoot of an offshoot but a church that is meeting her prophetic Destiny and when you study the 2300 year Prophecy in the sanctuary you discover that the Bible pointed to a very time when the last Church would emerge and that church is called in Scripture The Remnant chest and is

• 03:00 - 03:30 down a church meeting her prophetic Destiny if I had had time to preach on the seven churches we would have started with the first one Ephesus the Church of the Apostles and we would have gone on to Smyrna the crust church the church that Diocesan tried to destroy with 10 years of barbaric persecution trying to step out the truth but Jesus had said a long
• 03:30 - 04:00 time ago Upon This Rock I will build my church and the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail and the word for hell in that text is the Greek word Hades which means the grave do you know that the church had never been persecuted until Christ defeated the devil and Rose up from the dead never before had the church been persecuted but Jesus told his disciples that some of you will be cast into
• 04:00 - 04:30 and some of you will have to die the devil is going to turn in his Fury against my people but he said don't worry the devil won't be able to kill off my church The Gates of Hell shall not Prevail against it well a historian records his name was Edward Gibbon Edward Gibbon said that when Diocesan tried to kill off the church every time he killed one 10 would join and in spite of all he did the church was GR growing by Leaps and
• 04:30 - 05:00 Bounds this persecution ended around 313 ad and all of a sudden there was a new emperor his name was Constantine and he sent his Legions Galloping across the Empire declaring amnesty for Christians the time of pergamus the third church pergamus the church of the marriage some of you remember that the latter part of that word pergamus means marriage monogamy gas po G many marriages gas
• 05:00 - 05:30 pergas meaning a marriage of the world in the church when apostasy swept in when the Emperor who was Pagan joined the church then the bars fell down and everybody came in unconverted but in pergamus and then out of that came the Church of thara the Church of the Dark Ages the church when Bibles were taken away and men were not allowed to read the word of God a time when men taught
• 05:30 - 06:00 tradition as equal with scripture a time when every conceivable filth and Superstition came into the church and was baptized Christian a time when Pagan festivals became more more acceptable in the church than Christian ordinances T Tyra but near the latter end of this period there came the Glorious Reformation amen when men filled with
• 06:00 - 06:30 the courage of God Intrepid men of scripture turned back to the word of God and the people followed and finally the word of God was placed in the hands of a common man the word is a lamp and a light and ladies and gentlemen when the light came the Dark Ages were on their way out and we entered the fifth period which is called Sodis the Church of the Reformation but as soon as these Founders had died off the people who had been followed the following them refused
• 06:30 - 07:00 to continue searching God's word and letting God lead so they turned away from scripture to only what the founders taught and they became Creed bound and therefore the Reformation was arrested I want you to remember that term I'm coming back to it the Reformation was arrested it had been blazing across civilization but when the founders were dead there were not those kinds of men
• 07:00 - 07:30 to carry the work on by digging into the treasury of God's word instead they began to read Theology and they began to read only what the founders had said and instead of God leading with the truth they went only as far as the founders could go and the Reformation came to a screeching halt Reformation was the idea of going from error all the way to truth now the founders came part of the way and when those who followed refused to
• 07:30 - 08:00 go on the Reformation was arrested and those Protestant churches never arrived at full truth would you say amen I this they clung to papal Dogma chiefest amongst which is Sunday they all share it now God had to turn away from the Reformation churches or what historians call the Protestant reformed churches he had to reject them now and a new era
• 08:00 - 08:30 came in and this is the sixth of the seven periods it's called Philadelphia from two Greek words fileo which means love and AD delos which means brother it was an unusual occurrence in church history God had told them that at a certain time we would see Great Signs in the heavens and there would be an earthquake and there would be a dark day and when these Great Signs began to occur these natural phenomen
• 08:30 - 09:00 began to occur men turned back to the word of God and they read from Matthew 24 and Luke 17 and Luke 21 that these things pointed to the near coming of Our Lord as they continued to study they Unearthed what we've been talking about all week the sanctuary and its prophetic truths they realized that Christ would come but they misinterpreted 1844 they didn't know what it meant God had already said in Revelation then that
• 09:00 - 09:30 this would happen the truth would be sweet in the mouth and bitter in the belly would you say Amen out there they misunderstood 1844 they expected Christ to come October 22 1844 based on their study of the 2300 year prophecy and when Christ was supposed to come and they were all looking for him to come men and women of every denomination got a hold of this truth and instead of regarding denominational boundaries they flowed
• 09:30 - 10:00 together in one common group Brotherly Love was more important than denominational distinctions are you following me if you are say amen and this was called the Philadelphian period a period when men dropped all of those Creeds and all of those distinctions and prejudices and the bigotry and they came together looking for Jesus to come ad delos filo brotherly
• 10:00 - 10:30 love but when Christ didn't come because they misunderstood 1844 many of them most of them turned back to what they were before some became atheistic some of them were so embarrassed they even committed suicide are you listening to me and left only a tiny nucleus of sincere people who were still pleading with God for light
• 10:30 - 11:00 and now enters the seventh period Leo deia from two words Leos meaning common ordinary folks and deia which means Court of judging we have come to the period of judgment would you say amen and God said at that time the last Church we've been through the the Jews and we've been through the apostolic era and we've gone through the persecuted era and we've gone through the Reformation era and we've gone through
• 11:00 - 11:30 this amalgamation of men and women from every denomination looking for the coming of the Lord now we are down to the last Church The Remnant church and Remnant means last and these will be commandment Keepers would you say Amen out there I hope you are noticing that I still haven't called the name of a denomination have you all noticed that that's not what dis distinguishes
• 11:30 - 12:00 them what distinguishes them is that they are commandment Keepers and I tell you that this organization was called into being by the unfailing voice of Prophecy and when the Time Clock Struck just as when it struck in ad27 and Found Jesus on the bank of the Jordan and just as it struck in ad31 and saw the Son of God hanging on a cross causing sacrifice and oblation to cease and just as it
• 12:00 - 12:30 struck in ad. 34 seeing the rejection of Christ and Christianity by the Jewish Sanhedrin it struck again in 1844 and right on time not 10 years before or five years later but right on time God scaled the thing down got rid of the hangers on shook it until only the sincere remained and then God turned to that little group and said you're it you're a remnant because you're willing
• 12:30 - 13:00 to do everything I have said do and the remnant Church emerged little at first but today comprises 4 million adherents around the circle of the Earth would you say Amen out a study of the 2300 years was carried on by Protestant Scholars all over the world and a virtually every denomination I asked Pastor Willis tonight was he aware that Martin
• 13:00 - 13:30 Luther Martin Luther way back in his day predicted that the Judgment hour would come in the mid 1800s well you got to get up early in the morning to steal a march on Pastor Willis all I had to do was mention that and then he launched out into the deep and began to quote things and and people and he knew all about it well I couldn't get away with him but you all didn't know that did you follow following the Advent
• 13:30 - 14:00 movement following the Advent movement right on time came the emerging Remnant Church which would carry God's program to a sure and logical conclusion as the 2300 year prophecy would end we come to Revelation chapter 10 and John sees this angel with one foot on land and one on sea and that angel swore time shall be no longer I'm coming back to that
• 14:00 - 14:30 too time shall be no longer then John was told to eat the book The sealed book I've already explained the disappointment sweet in the mouth bitter in the belly and because of the disappointment of 1844 the vast majority of those who believe that Christ would come began to deny the veracity of the 2300 year prophecy it was because they were confused and because they were
• 14:30 - 15:00 confused and disappointed they were going to throw the whole thing away they gave up the grand principle of prophetic interpretation and forgot about the fact that with uniring accuracy the first 490 years of the prophecy had come to pass you can't throw that away but they were so disappointed and disillusioned they just threw the whole thing out I'm glad God had some folk who weren't willing to do that amen because
• 15:00 - 15:30 the accuracy of this prophecy provides the prophetic foundation for the emerging Remnant people who didn't accept it were driven to absurdities in order to avoid plain truth first of all they should have realized that the Earth is not the sanctuary the court represented the Earth the sanctuary represents Heaven this was their mistake when God said that the sanctuary would be cleansed he wasn't talking about the Earth in 1844 nothing happened to this
• 15:30 - 16:00 earth it certainly wasn't cleansed would you say Amen out there the only thing I know that has happened since then is that this Earth has plunged even deeper into wickedness and conuence into infirmity and pollution both moral and physical would you say Amen all I can see that's happened to this earth since 1844 is the Bible has come through where it says this Earth waxing is old like a
• 16:00 - 16:30 garment it's wearing out and there are earthquakes in diverse places that's all I have seen the cleansing had no reference to this earth that angel in Revelation 10 and 64 time shall be no more but he wasn't talking about Literal time if those Scholars of many denominations had understood that before 1844 they would have not suffered the disappointment the angel was not talking about Literal time and bless God
• 16:30 - 17:00 he was not talking about probationary time if he had been talking about probationary time all of you who are in here tonight with hope in Christ Jesus would be too late he wasn't talking about Literal time he wasn't talking about probationary time he was talking about prophetic time after 1844 there is not one other single prophetic time period which must elapse before Jesus comes
• 17:00 - 17:30 Christ can come anytime he wants to now that angel said in verse six time shall be no more then read verse seven in verse S that angel said in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound the mystery of God should be finished I'm going to give you some text I'm not going to take time to read them what is the mystery of God here in Ephesians 33-6 Paul said the mystery has to do with the fact that
• 17:30 - 18:00 after all these years of the Jews being God's chosen all of a sudden the Gentiles are invited to be fellow Hees with them of eternal life amen he said that's the mystery of God read it again in Galatians 1 11 and 12 read it in Ephesians 1 9 and 10 Paul speaks of the mystery of his will that the Gentiles shall be called in to one body of Christ and that all things consist in
• 18:00 - 18:30 him read it in Colossians 1:25 to 27 read it in Romans 16:25 and 26 the mystery of God is a finished work of the Gospel around the world not just with Jews but with every nation Kindred and tongue and people now the Bible says that angel said time shall be no more and when the seventh angel begins to sound the mystery of God a finished work the power of the Gospel to save men that you think had no right to be saved the
• 18:30 - 19:00 power of God to save Heathen Savages cannibals the power of God to change men from rank heathenism into gospel preachers that mystery will be finished let's say Amen out to him the millerite movement before 1844 laid the foundation men studied the Bible day and night studied the prophecies day and night their mistake was in misinterpreting the cleansing of the sanctuary but all of a sudden God's got a new
• 19:00 - 19:30 church emerging and that church as I told you last night isn't a brand new church with a new Bible you know I'm so tempted to say some things but I'm always afraid of being misunderstood what you say Pastor should I go ahead and say it you see every time the Lord does something the devil starts counterfeiting and at the very time God placed the spirit of Prophecy in the room the church the devil came up with a
• 19:30 - 20:00 spirit of Prophecy and Joseph Smith the very same time that God gave the truth to the prophetes of the remnant Falls Joseph Smith began with his Book of Mormon he had a brand new book and if you read his book and read the Bible they are diametrically opposed to one another I because I believe the word of God must reject the prophecy of Joseph Smith for the Bible says to the law and to the testimony if they speak not of according to this word there is no light
• 20:00 - 20:30 in them would you say Amen out there I'm glad we didn't get a new Bible that said a man could have 25 wives my Bible says you got to be the husband of one wife my Bible says Thou shalt not commit adulter my Bible says if you put away your wife accepted be for fornication and marry another you are living in adultery we got the same Bible not only did he give that Spirit to Joseph Smith but he gave it to Mary Baker Eddie yes well I won't go any fur you don't like
• 20:30 - 21:00 it not a new truth not a new Bible the Gospel of Jesus Christ through which Gentiles would become members of the Commonwealth of Israel the Gospel of Jesus Christ by which Gentiles could become members of the household of God and Abraham seed the gospel which is the mystery to be finished is the Everlasting gospel the Bible says not a new go gospel not a strange gospel not a
• 21:00 - 21:30 sophisticated or erratic gospel but the Everlasting gospel the same one that saved men from the beginning of time down to the present time our work is not to do something new but to finish the Plan of Salvation in the earth and God said I will call up a people to do this after the bitter experience of 1844 we then are the
• 21:30 - 22:00 consumat and the continuators would you say Amen out last night I read you a text that says we build on the foundations of many generations don't you go looking down your nose at other folks God's got Saints in all churches would you say Amen out there and some of them are 10 hundred times better than some in the r the church God's going to get rid of some in here and bring some of those in would you say amen I there and some of the first proponents of the message we are teaching were
• 22:00 - 22:30 Catholics and Jews and Baptists and methodists and congregationalists and episcopalians and Calvinists and lutherans and in a Baptist are you with me folks we are not s with something out of left field that nobody ever heard before we are not even here with a brand new message we have the Everlasting gospel I say again we
• 22:30 - 23:00 are the continuators building on the foundation of many generations and now I want to use that term I used earlier tonight the Reformation that God empowered the Reformation that God called into being the Reformation that God gave His holy ghost to became an arrested Reformation when the people failed to follow on to know the Lord God said I got to raise up a Remnant church and then they will continue the arrested Reformation make
• 23:00 - 23:30 no mistake about it our work is a work of reformation that's why when we preach you got to change Reformation means change when you heard us at the Warner Theater some of you were all painted up and all jeweled up am I right and Pastor Brooks was so nice and smooth about it that you sat through most of the meeting before you knew you had to take it off ain't that right and when you found out
• 23:30 - 24:00 you had to take it off we told you not to even be embarrassed about it God didn't send the truth to embarrass you he sent it to change you but when you come into the truth there is Reformation Reformation is a change of ways Revival is a change of heart that's what the r the church was called to do to finish the Plan of Salvation and that's what Christ was saying to John when he said after that disappointment instead of Christ coming
• 24:00 - 24:30 the temple of God was opened in heaven well when he opened the temple what did you see John he said I saw the Ark of the Testament what's in it John God's law the arrested Reformation hadn't even gotten to that yet they hadn't sought that yet well that's something you got to teach you got to teach about the law now what's in the heart of the law the seventh day Sabbath I have a tape on which one of my
• 24:30 - 25:00 friends preached on the Sabbath and he said he counted all the words before in the Commandments now he counted every word that comes before the seventh day is the Sabbath and then he counted every word that came after and they are exactly the same right M dab in the middle of God's law it says the seventh day is the the seventh day is the Sabbath so when John saw the Ark of the Testament he saw the law and when you see the law you see the s the Reformation hadn't gotten to that yet it
• 25:00 - 25:30 wasn't because Martin Luther was a coward it was because God was leading man along giving him as much light as he could stand and Luther did everything God showed him he was no coward it was those folk who came after him that refused to go on so God said I got to find me some folk who got enough courage to go on Revelation and so a vital part of the message is
• 25:30 - 26:00 Sabbath reform you know in these meetings that we run sometimes we teach young seminarians and they will send me 10 or 12 to sit through one of those meetings and then in the daytime I have to teach a class and then we send in grades to the Seminary got some of my students up here and at least they got one they all sat through one of those field schools in Bermuda didn't you yeah now when these young men come to work with us in these field schools you see there there are

• 32:30 - 33:00 give glory to him for the hour of his judgment is come and worship him that made that's God's claim to godhood the fact that he is the creator sets him aside from all false God now people for years during the Dark Ages in Asar have been worshiping a man who sits on a throne over in Rome and calls himself God and claims to have power to change God's law who set up his own s his own religious regimen people had been bowing
• 33:00 - 33:30 to that in ignorance but all of a sudden the message goes as if preached by an Angel saying fear God give glory to him stop giving glory to a man give glory to God the hour of his judgment has come worship Him stop worshiping a man stop worshiping the Beast stop worshiping the dragon through the Beast worship God who made the heavens the Earth the sea and The Fountains of water and when this was rejected by the
• 33:30 - 34:00 reformed Protestant churches God said John look here and a second Angel flew and that angel came up with a new name he said Babylon I'm not making any distinction now between the mother and the daughter all of them together Are Spiritual confusion they have rejected the truth Babylon is Fallen is fallen and quickly came the third Angel saying if any man worship the beast in is it the same shall drink of the wine
• 34:00 - 34:30 of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation and shall be tournament it with fire and brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels and in the presence of the land I am according to you in my own way from Revelation chapter 14 I have gone down through verse 11 it says the smoke of that tment ascendeth up forever and ever and they have no rest day nor night who worship the beast in His image and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name and in the next verse
• 34:30 - 35:00 God nams the folks who will be on his side it says here is the patience of the Saints here are they that keep the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus God says my people who will carry this message will be commandment Keepers he didn't say they'd be Seventh Day Adventist that's why I didn't see it he said they going to be commandment Keepers don't you go around bragging about the name it's not the name it's
• 35:00 - 35:30 the message it it's the Creed it's the doctrine it's the belief it's the mission Lord not the name well right who are these folks they're commandment Keepers and that's enough do you know around the circle of the world Seventh Day Adventist was known as commandment Keepers one day a man did an experiment and I've been planning to do it myself a man was out in California somewhere and he had addressed a letter to himself he was in the Jal conference where I work so he
• 35:30 - 36:00 addressed a letter to himself and on the envelope he put his name and he said care of the Commandment Keepers Washington DC that's all they put now there are thousands of churches in greater Washington you know where that letter ended up at 6840 Eastern Avenue at the headquarters of the 7day adist church the folk downtown knew who the Commandment Keepers were don't you know God says my people are commandment
• 36:00 - 36:30 Keepers yeah that's what it's all that's what you joined at the warana theater that's what we're talking about don't don't get mad by rubbing each other with denominational nomenclature you can call them any kind of name the question is are they commandment keep they got some wonderful names too one of them is Church of Christ that's a good name but I ain't commandment
• 36:30 - 37:00 keeper Church of God good name I I like that but are they commandment Keepers I told you last night that I'm a Catholic yes cuz I believe in the universality of God's church he said this gospel got to go to all the world that's why we run all over this world with it I'm a Catholic but a Catholic can't be a Seventh Day Adventist without radical
• 37:00 - 37:30 change I'm a Baptist cuz I believe in baptism by immersion that's the only kind I preach but a Baptist can't be a Seventh Day Adventist without radical change you see a commandment keeper can be a Methodist but a Methodist can't be a commandment keeper without coming out of Babylon oh it's hard but it's fair you see there comes a time when a preacher has to deliver his soul and I don't want you getting hung up on our group versus
• 37:30 - 38:00 their group it ain't that at all it's the truth versus error it's light versus Darkness it's good versus evil it's obedience versus Disobedience would you say Amen out there I'm Holiness cuz I believe that you got to live holy and I believe you got to have the outpouring of the Holy Ghost but those in the Holiness Faith can't be members of The Remnant Church Without radical change are you getting my point then I'll leave the
• 38:00 - 38:30 POR now further there is no other listen to me beloved now I'm talking about I'm talking about scripture Now read your Bible yourself once you get past 1844 and the disappointment and once you pick up the Commandment keeper that's it there is not another worldwide message to follow Revelation 14 where I just read from now before there
• 38:30 - 39:00 were things that had to happen down the stream of time but this is the last one you study yourself there is no other group to follow this is the remnant Remnant means last would you say Amen out there that's why God said it's the Elijah message Malachi chter 4 said before the great and deadful day of the Lord I'm going to send Elijah does that mean that Elijah will come down from heaven and preach no how do you know that's what it means because Jesus said of John the Baptist he was
• 39:00 - 39:30 Elijah he was the herald of the Messiah at his first coming and before he comes the second time there will be another Elijah message not the prophet himself but an uncompromising straight message an unpopular message a message that will stand up and withstand the popular preaching of the time the Elijah message will be a message preparing people not for the first coming of Christ but for the second coming would you say Amen our
• 39:30 - 40:00 and once Jesus was about to come John the Baptist was the only Elijah before he gave and as he's about to come again the remnant church that keeps the Commandments of God will be the last Church to preach and their message is the same as John's message the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand prepare ye the way of the Lord would you say amen but somebody says Pastor you surprise me
• 40:00 - 40:30 tonight by not emphasizing your denominational name well John the Baptist didn't emphasize here they came to him and said are you Elijah or Jeremiah who are you he said I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness prepare ye the way of the Lord it doesn't matter what my name is it's my message you better listen to make faith in the desert uh pathway for our God and that's what we got to do to tonight John the Baptist was the
• 40:30 - 41:00 Forerunner of Jesus no other after him we are the Forerunner and when our message is finished the end will come Matthew 24:14 and our message isn't just the people in America if it were we'd have all these marvelous buildings and all these institutions you know sometimes I wish you all could follow me around the world a Catholic priest said himself there are only two World churches the Seventh Day Adventist and the Catholics
• 41:00 - 41:30 he was right you walk around Washington and you'll see great institutions the reason is they take all the money they get and spend it right on themselves but God's got a worldwide program and his church has a global assignment so when the money comes in it doesn't stay here at Dupont if all the ti taken up here stayed in Dupont they could save these walk ways with gold but God's program doesn't call for that God says while you do a little something at dupan do a little something in Africa and in Asia in New Guinea and
• 41:30 - 42:00 in the Solomon Islands let's say Amen out there you got to have a world concept and when you get a world concept and then if your privilege to travel the world you'll go into places such as I been where you see on the main PIAA the cathedral and right out of Jason is a seventh day Aven Church in the hospital and Publishing House and saws which gives away free food and that's all you see worldwide bless God and I think now keep
• 42:00 - 42:30 in mind I not talk my names to my God's program would you say Amen aren there the world in our day is fully discovered you got no more Frontiers got no more continents hidden no more Mountains to climb every place on Earth is now registered at the United Nations got no undiscovered continents you know Columbus didn't discover America till what was it 1482 the work
• 42:30 - 43:00 couldn't be finished till somebody got over here to these Indians but today God says to his last Church you got to do what the apostles couldn't do they didn't even know about the Indians didn't even know America existed but now everything is discovered go ye into all the world preach the gospel to Every Creature preach it to the Indians bless the Lord we got it preach it to the gypsies the only folk I know on Earth
• 43:00 - 43:30 that has a church of nothing but gypsies is this church Preach It Down in Africa preach it in South America preach it in Japan the son doesn't set on the message I've been there amen thank God not bragging about us thinking about God and His program we are nothing and a whole lot of us are not going to make it so don't you get
• 43:30 - 44:00 proud get humble I'm trying to tell you about the emerging Remnant no more Nations undiscovered no more continents to find today with airplanes and radio and television we are able to reach everywhere and at the United Nations there are 215 countries registered and our church has hospitals and schools sanitariums and Clinics and Publishing houses in
• 44:00 - 44:30 194 and in over 800 languages and dialects the gospel is just about finished would you say Amen out there and through it all God uses men commandment Keepers he uses men I've told you no other worldwide work is the follow God is finishing his work right now it started small yes in the beginning it started small After the
• 44:30 - 45:00 flood it started small in the days of Christ But as God gave it power it took off and this Remnant movement started small Helen White says the wall around the church is The Ten Commandments and then the Bible says somebody put a hole in the wall and the Bible says in Ezekiel 22 you read Around verse 28 God God said I was looking for amen I was looking for somebody to stand
• 45:00 - 45:30 in the Gap looking for somebody who would come and and and and fill up the heads there's a hole in the wall and I was looking for somebody who would take his place there I like the way he said amen you have to be a man that's a generic term mankind but you have to be a man to be a Christian no coward can make it into truth would you say Amen you got to have courage sometimes you got to stand against your own relatives
• 45:30 - 46:00 your own husband and wife your parents your friends sometimes you might lose your job so God said when I got ready to find somebody who would represent me I didn't want any cowards somebody that's like a wave of the sea or reath in a windstorm I wanted a man somebody who could stand in the Hedge and fill up the Gap Isaiah 58:12 to4 and I'm not going to read all that but if you read in there it tells you Thou shalt be called the repairer of the
• 46:00 - 46:30 breach the restorer of paths to dwell in I told you we don't have anything new we are repairers of what's been here all the time we are the straighten out the hole that's been made in the wall we are the restorer of paths to dwell in Not A New Path the same old path Everlasting gospel when I tell you to keep the Sabbath I'm telling you what Adam taught Cain and a that's old when you keep Sunday that's new came
• 46:30 - 47:00 in the 4th Century ad would you say Amen us there and so God's emerging Remnant has a strategic position and a key role and a key place not odd just peculiar not too late to have its rightful place in true protestantism not too early either but right on time not merely one of the Welter of
• 47:00 - 47:30 Divergent denominations but designated by God to take its place in the line of truth that has come down the centuries We Are The Remnant we are toward the close of God's continuing line which began with Adam and Eve would you say Amen out there bearing the torch that Jews bore bearing the torch of truth that many Catholics bore do you know that the Archbishop uh Archbishop eard 2 a an
• 47:30 - 48:00 Archbishop of the Catholic church was the first one to designate the papacy as the little hornn a Catholic taught that I'm trying to give you a sense of Fellowship not a denominational distinction but a sense of fellowship with men of whatever denomination who love the Lord in his word would you say Amen Martin Luther built on that he himself was a Catholic monk of the augustinian order
• 48:00 - 48:30 tulian prayed for Pagan roome to survive do you know why he prayed for Pagan Rome to survive because he knew the Bible and it said that after the Pagan Rome would come the little horn and he preferred Pagan Rome to the little horn and he himself was a Catholic are you willing to say Amen out there we're building on the foundation of many generations ladies and gentlemen the morning after October 22 ham Edson and a friend were
• 48:30 - 49:00 walking through a corn feet disappointed embarrassed humiliated but praying that's the difference that's right sometimes in God's truth somebody some old unconverted hypocrite will hurt your feelings right in the church you hear me you come in here expecting everybody to be a saint you better get your eyes open at the same time don't go throwing people away cuz some of those that are wrong now are going to be right before the end comes let's say
• 49:00 - 49:30 Amen so instead of getting mad and bitter and embarrassed pray Haram Edson and his friend were walking through the cornfield I guess they didn't want to be in town they didn't want to walk the street they chose a corn you know Corn's tall ad them walking through the cornfish the leaves of the corn plants rattling in the wind and he was praying why Lord why did we go wrong you didn't go wrong we are wrong show us Lord and
• 49:30 - 50:00 like a bolt of lightning out of the blue that came a realization to Har Edson Jesus didn't go to cleanse the Earth in 1844 he didn't go out of the most holy place he went into the most holy place and the Judgment began then he got so excited he and his friend went home got their Bibles called everybody who still was praying together and they spent whole nights in prayer studying little by by little they work out this truth under the eus of the Holy Ghost now I
• 50:00 - 50:30 got to say what I said last night for some of you were not here when he started to do that we did not yet have the gift of Prophecy in the church we had the prophetes in the church but she didn't have the gift yet all of a sudden four beams of light begin to shine on the emerging REM first is the sanctuary light the second is the Sabbath truth the third is the gift of Prophecy and the fourth is an increased
• 50:30 - 51:00 understanding of the final segments of Daniel and the Revelation the truth did not come from the spirit of Prophecy it came from the Bible say amen and the spirit of Prophecy simply confirmed the truth that's precious you see the morans got theirs from their prophecy we got ours from the Bible and the prophecy came later simply to confirm it would you say Amen it was
• 51:00 - 51:30 God's way of saying my children you've studied well and I've heard you now I'm sending you a message to let you know you're right on target you got it you've got it finally and I'm accepting you now as my chosen people to carry this message to all the world I'll repeat one more time not a split off not an offshoot but we came into being through the direct call of God and our responsibility is the final preaching of the Gospel to all the world I told you
• 51:30 - 52:00 there are no more undiscovered countries there are no more New Covenant to find and therefore no people and Lord have mercy no people ever to live on the top side of the Earth has ever been given the extensive responsibility that God's rant church has been given did you hear what I said the Jews didn't have this much responsibility the world was small in their they could have carried the gospel to all the world but we are
• 52:00 - 52:30 called to do it at a time when men and women are being born faster than they die faster than we can reach them they're being born and yet God says it's got to go to Every Creature well that's why the Bible said Daniel seal up the book till the time of the end y'all can't do this now but in the time of the end knowledge will be increased what do you mean by that lord well we're going to have something called television and CD Brooks can get on there in a program called breath of light and he can carry the truth the folk y'all will never see
• 52:30 - 53:00 and the verse of Prophecy will be on there and it is written will be on there and the quiet hour will be on the radio knowledge will be increased so that we can finish the work of the Lord would you say Amen out that all this Everlasting gospel will save you from the past justification is a part of the Everlasting gospel it removes the guilt and the penalty of past sins you don't have to pay for your past that's number
• 53:00 - 53:30 one but the Everlasting gospel will also save you from the present sin through the power of God you will have dominion over your body and over sin sanctification will come into your life you don't have to pay for your past and you don't have to do wrong in the present would you say Amen out there and then finally the Everlasting gospel will save you in the future yes through glorification I've touched on the three essential things now justification you
• 53:30 - 54:00 passed sanctification your present glorification your future this is what God has in store for his people and he wants you to be his he wants you to be a witness and a representative he wants you to be totally committed it's time for us to get like that now you don't have to tell me and I'm not asking you I'm telling you we are not right yet we are not interested in the truth yet we make excuses yes should have been here every
• 54:00 - 54:30 night this church can't hold the folks who should have been here every night we're not interested we'd rather see Dallas something wrong with us rather catch Monday Night Football something wrong with us oh I'm not going into that any further I don't make you uncomfortable God's looking for his peculiar people to imag the REM church has emerged now he wants us to emerge and start being what we profess
• 54:30 - 55:00 to live out the Creed he's given us and when a man starts living up to the truth that's all the truth needs it doesn't need a defense it needs a witness December one I was sitting in a church in Los Angeles California and the supervisor one of the city supervisors of Los Angeles was our guest that day his name was Han and what a marvelous fell he was he got up and he made a marvelous speech in the Seventh Day Adventist Church on the Sabbath day and the end of his speech he said you know something ladies and gentlemen he said one of my secretaries is a 7thday
• 55:00 - 55:30 adventage and he said around the office sometimes we get to talking about things and when we come to the Bible nobody knows what to do so I always say send for the Seventh Day Adventist because they know their Bible God wants you to know your Bible would you say Amen out there he's getting ready to seal somebody this Remnant is going to emerge one more time on the other Shore we going to across Garden folks you wonder what's going to happen to this church I tell you it's going to

• 56:00 - 56:30 board The Old Ship of Zion but she will land you safe in glory a few years ago Nelson rockefeller's son went to New Guinea to study to be an anthropologist and when he got over there he must have been having a marvelous time I remember the things I read about him and he was trying to interpret the strange language and dialects of the tribes these what the called the subculture tribes of New Guinea and one day he was out in the
• 56:30 - 57:00 water and he had a problem he and a friend of his and they had a little old makeshift raft and this raft began to drift out the sea and they thought in that region they were totally and hopelessly and miserably and redly lost forever they were almost out of sight of land just two of them on a raft and all of a sudden rockefeller's son decided I don't think we're going to make it on this raft so you stay if you want to but I'm going to
• 57:00 - 57:30 swim I'm going to head toward land it's a pitiful story some of you remember when Nelson Rockefeller got on an airplane and went over there and they flew low all around that terrible area looking for some trace of his son my heart went out to that father looking for his son that ever forget reading about it in Life Magazine it said it was virtually impossible for him to make it for the waters were infested with killer sharks and if he got in close enough to land they had sea serpents whose Venom is
• 57:30 - 58:00 more poisonous than the Cobra and if he got past them there was the mud that a man could stand up in and sink down like quicksand and if he a was able to get past the mud there were crocodiles he didn't take a chance but the fell who stayed with the rat made it stay on board the old ship was I don't you let anybody insult you and get you off don't you let the devil fool you if somebody spits in your face Let
• 58:00 - 58:30 the church roll on want to hear another story like that a true story I read it in reita digest about two months ago it was called No Greater Love some of you read it a man was sailing his ship he was intended to go on a long voyage and he wanted to take his nephew with him you remember that story see some head shaking and they had trouble in their ship sa that little boat saang and they had a rubber
• 58:30 - 59:00 raft and they got in it and spent days in that raft and all of a sudden that raft began to lose air it seemed as though it was going to be lost and that Uncle saw the air going out of this rubber raft and no help had come the heavens had turned to Brass they couldn't see an airplane they couldn't see a ship he reckoned in his mind that the Wrath would be lost and so he told his nephew you stay on board but I'm going to swim and he
• 59:00 - 59:30 jumped off in the ocean and the last that was seen of him he was stroking away from the only means of Salvation the boy stayed with the sinking wrath or the Apparently sinking wrath and rescue came oh look at here God's not going to abandon his church it might appear that it's going to be lost but it won't it might seem like it's going to sink but it won't it might seem like staying with
• 59:30 - 60:00 it is hopelessness and boredom and dull hrum but it'll land you safe in glory would you say Amen out there El Bates I hate to do this but I feel like asking you to come up here with me and sing just a little taste of I'm going through I'm going to open the doors of the church tonight I don't know who you are but if there's one Soul here having heard what you've heard not so much Brooks but the Holy Ghost and you have made up your mind that you
