REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

76 All right, now the 7th verse, this is the announcement. The announcement is:

Oh. How much time we got? That's beautiful there. Could you spare another thirty--twenty minutes? Could you? All right. Now, then tomorrow... Tonight we'll try to catch the rest of the Patmos Vision tonight. Today we're going to end on the announcement. Oh. You feel good? You love this old Bible...?... It is the revelation of what? What is it? God reaches down in this Book and takes the veil off, said, "There He is: Prophet, Priest, King, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, He that was, which is, and shall come, all of these things. It is God." Now, let's take the veil off just for a few minutes now, the Lord helping us, take the veil from our eyes, and get...

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

77 Behold, he cometh with clouds;...

Now, how is He coming? "With clouds." What kind of clouds? Clouds of glory, not one of these thunderheads, rain clouds, but clouds of glory. If you'll watch what kind of a cloud He was enshrouded in when Peter and them saw His vision on Mount Transfiguration... A cloud overshadowed Him; His raiment shined. He was enshrouded with a cloud, the power of God. Oh, we get to that over here in these church ages; I'm telling you, it just--just tickles my innermost beings to think of it, What He's coming... I see this day that we're--we're living, where nothing, no hope's left but His coming. Now, we'll quickly get this. Now, remember.

... every eye shall see Him,...

Now, that wasn't the rapture then. Was it? See? It wasn't the rapture. It wasn't the rapture. What was He speaking to? The second coming.

... and they also which pierced him: and all the kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him...

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

78 Now, we'll go back and get some history. Let's go back to Zechariah, and get the 12th chapter of Zechariah, in Zechariah. All right. "And the Lord added to the church daily such as would be saved." How thankful we are for the good revelation of Jesus Christ. Aren't you happy for Him? Now, we will get this in book form just as quick as we possibly can to the people, and then you can have it to read it in the quiet of your room and things and study it out yourself. All right, Zechariah the--Zechariah the 12th chapter now of Zechariah. And we want to take this real prayerfully now. And I want to get this for the glory of God. Now, Zechariah 12, let's begin at the 9th verse. Listen close now, He's speaking of the coming, Zechariah 12, and we begin at the 9--the 9th verse:

And it shall come to pass... (Zechariah prophesying, four hundred and eighty-seven years before the coming of Christ)

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all... nations that come against Jerusalem. (Think of it.)

And I will pour out upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced,...

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

79 Now, when's the Gospel returning to the Jews? When the day of the Gentile is finished, the Gospel is ready to go to the Jews. Oh, I could... If I could just foretell you a little something that's fixing to happen right here (See?), right in this day. See? It's fixing to happen. We get it in the church age. And this great thing that's fixing to happen, will carry over to Revelation 11 and pick up those two prophets, Elijah and a Moses returning back again for the Jews. We're ready for it. Everything's setting in order, just ready. This Gentile message, as the Jews brought it to the Gentiles, the Gentiles will take it right back to the Jews again. And the rapture will come. Now, remember, this here coming, after the tribulation... The church does not go through the tribulation. We know that; the Bible says so. See? All right. Now, He'll pour out upon the house of Israel. What? The same Holy Spirit (See?) after the Gentile church is gone.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

80 ... and they look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one that mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

And in that day shall there be... great mourning in Jerusalem,... in mourning... and in the valley of Megiddon.

And--and the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and...

the family of the house of Nathan apart,... and each one of the houses apart; (When they see, what will happen.)

What will take place when He comes in the clouds of glory at His second appearing and when those Jews who pierced Him... You know, another Scripture that says they'll ask Him, "Where did He get these wounds?" He said, "In the house of My friends."

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

81 And not only will it be a mournful time for the Jews who rejected Him as Messiah, but it'll be a mournful time for them left Gentiles back here who has accepted--or who has rejected Him as their Messiah of this day; they'll be wailing and weeping. The sleeping virgin will be wailing; that's that church that refused to get oil in its lights. There was ten virgins went out, all good people, but five of them had oil in their lamps. The other five were good people, good people, but failed to get oil in their lamps. And they were cast out into outer darkness where there'll be weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. Here it is, "There'll be wailing." The Bible said here there'll be wailing and so brokenhearted until even... Here, I'll give you another: Genesis 45, if you want to get to that. Let's get to it just a moment and read that also in Genesis the--I believe it's the 45th chapter of Genesis or the... I'd like to get this here, Joseph making hisself known to his--to his people. And we'll get this, just show the--the types of what will take place in that day. Then we'll bind it together.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

82 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before... them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go... from me. (Now, remember, Joseph, making hisself known, he cried, "Every man go from before me.") And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brethren.

And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard him. (He must've screamed out.)

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near... me, I pray you.

And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brethren, who you--who you sold into Egypt.

Now, therefore do not be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you have sold me hither: for God did send me before You to preserve life. (Oh, how beautiful.)

For these two years has... famine been in the land: and... in which shall be... there shall be neither be ear nor harvest.

And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

83 Let me just take now and compare that with Zechariah the 12th, just for a moment. Now, we know that in type... If you teach types, then you always get it right, I think, in--in type. Now, Joseph when he was born, he was hated by his brethren. Is that right? Now, I want to show you: Joseph represents the Spirit-filled church. Joseph was hated of his brethren. Why? Because he was spiritual. Joseph could not help because he could see visions. He could not help because he dreamed dreams (See?) and could interpret dreams. He... That was what was in him. He could not display anything else but what that was in him. Well, then his brothers hated him without a cause. But his father loved him, because his father was a prophet. See how it was with Jesus? God loved His Son; but the brethren, the Pharisees and Sadducees, hated Him because He could heal the sick, and foretell things, and see visions, interpret. See what I mean? They hated Him without a cause.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

84 And what did they do to Joseph? They pretended he was dead, and they throwed him into a ditch. Took a bloody coat of seven colors that his father... There's only seven colors in the rainbow. And the rainbow, we know what the... We get to it a little later, I think, tonight. The rainbow over Him here, Jesus, where He's to look upon as jasper and sardis stone, and a rainbow. A rainbow is a covenant. And that was God's covenant upon Joseph. And then they, blood--brought it on his coat and took it back to the father, and he was supposed to be as dead. And... But he was raised up out of the ditch and was put into a--a--sold to Pharaoh, someone in Egypt, and a--a general kept him. And when they did, he... A ill thing come up against him, and throwed him in jail. And there he prophesied, and told two men where one would go and where the other one would; a butler and a--and the baker, on account of their dreams. And then he was exalted from there to the right hand of Pharaoh. And no man could touch Pharaoh, only through Joseph. Watch this, now the... When Joseph then was sold over into the Egyptians... And watch. Everything he done typed Christ. Look at this butler and this baker in there, and they both had dreams. And Jesus, when He was in His prison house... Remember, Joseph was in prison. And when Jesus was in His prison (how? Tacked to a cross), there was one saved and one lost.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

85 Joseph, when he was in his prison, one was saved, one was lost. And notice then after Jesus was taken off the cross, He was exalted into heaven and sets at the right hand of the great Spirit, Jehovah. "No man can come to God except by Me." No hail Mary's, no blessed this, or blessed that; but through Jesus Christ the only Mediator there is between God and man (Uh-huh), that precious body that God tabernacled in among us, that took God's Name. And God took the name of human. God took... Looky here. In the beginning when Adam... I just can't get away from that, seem like somebody's not a-getting it somewhere. Look. In the beginning... Let me show you something again, the Holy Spirit warns me to do this. I'm leaving my subject for a minute. When the first news come to glory that the son had been lost, Adam, did God send an Angel? Did He send a Son? Did He send anyone else? He came Hisself to redeem His lost son. Hallelujah. God didn't trust it with no one but Himself. God was made flesh and dwelled among us and redeemed man Himself. It's the... "We are saved," the Bible said, "by the Blood of God." The mortal God was... The immortal God was made mortal in order to take away sin, to be the Lamb Himself, to enter into glory, veiled, and with His own Blood before Him beyond the veil.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

86 Now, Joseph, down into Egypt he goes, and there He was exalted from his prison to the right hand of Pharaoh, and was made the caretaker. And everything prospered in the days of Joseph. Now, when Jesus returns, even the desert shall blossom like a rose. He is the Son of prosperity: type of Joseph. They put Joseph in... The general had him in his house; everything he done, he prospered. They put him in jail, and the whole jail prospered. Everything they done, it prospered. And when he exalted the highest, and Pharaoh--next to Pharaoh, everything in Egypt prospered above anything in the world. When He returns, it'll be a land of prosperity. The old deserts will blossom, and there'll be food everywhere. And we can, everyone, set under our own fig tree and laugh and rejoice and live forever in His Presence, when He comes back as King. He was Son of man: Prophet. Amen. He was Son of man: Sacrifice, Priest. He's Son of man as King: the Son of David setting on the throne of His majesty. Son of man, He's...?... God manifested as Son of man; He come down and become man to take sins away from the world.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

87 He become man as a prophet. He become man as a Priest; He become man as King: King of heaven, King of saints, the eternal King, always was King, always will be King, eternal King. Now, notice then, Joseph, before Joseph went forth, they had to sound the trumpet first. And people screamed, "Bow the knee for Joseph." No matter what a man was doing, he was selling a product on the street, when that trumpet sound, he bowed his knee. A man was just about ready to reach out and get his money, but he bowed his knee; Joseph was coming. Oh. And the--the--the eunuch was just about ready to make his act. And what did he? He had to stop. Joseph is coming; the trumpet sounded. One of these days everything, even time will stand still, when the trumpet of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise, and the morning breaks eternal, bright, and fair. Everything will bow the knee, "Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess to it." Start now. Some man's sins go before, some follow.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

88 But now notice what taken place. How glorious. When Joseph then after he married a Gentile and received a family, Ephraim and Manasseh, his sons... Did you notice at the end, when Joseph--Jacob started to bless Ephraim and Manasseh, when he started to put his hands, he put Ephraim on the right and Manasseh on the left, to get the right hand blessing the oldest. But when he started to pray, his hands crossed, and he gave the youngest one the right-hand blessing instead of the one that was on the right hand. And Joseph said, "Not so, Father." Said, "You have put the blessing on Manasseh instead of on Ephraim." And he said, "God has crossed my hands." What? From the Jews, the oldest, the first chosen of God, through the cross come the blessing back to the Gentiles to get the Bride. The blessing come through the Cross from the Jew to the Gentile. Rejected: they rejected the Cross; therefore, He got the Gentile Bride. Now, when Joseph, before this, when he was--heard of his brethren who...

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

89 They had been out of fellowship for many years, the Jew. Now, watch, we're getting back to Zechariah now, where they wail and mourn and wail, and even families will separate themselves from other families. Go out and say, "How did we do it? How could we have ever done it?" When they say, "Where'd You get them scars, them prints in Your hands?" even those that pierced Him. He'll come in the clouds and they'll see Him, even those who pierced Him. And every house will mourn, and they'll wail. They won't know what to do. And when Joseph... You know the story. When he seen his brethren and he make out like he couldn't speak Hebrew and got the interpretater to interpret for him. And he couldn't speak Hebrew, he act like; but he wanted to find out. And when, finally, one day when they brought his little brother, did you notice it was Benjamin who set Joseph's soul afire? What is it today that's going to set His soul afire, our Joseph, Jesus? That young church that's been down in Iran yonder, who's kept the commandments of God, and it's a newborn people that's gathered into Palestine and restored back again. That six-point Star of David, the oldest flag in the world, a nation's been borned in the last few years. There's Israel.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

90 Nations are breaking, Israel's awakening,

The signs that the Bible foretold;

The Gentile days numbered, with horrors encumbered;

Return, O dispersed, to your own.

The day of redemption is near,

Men's hearts are failing for fear; (Just look at the bomb, atomic bombs.)

Be filled with the Spirit, your lamps trimmed and clear,

Look up. your redemption is near.

False prophets are lying, God's Truth they're denying,

That Jesus the Christ is our God; (Glory. But the revelation's come.)

So we'll walk where the apostles have trod. (Right in their same place)

For the day of redemption is near,

Men's hearts are failing for fear;

Be filled with God's Spirit, your lamp trimmed and clear,

Look up. your redemption is near. (Oh.)

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

91 Oh, Joseph, when he seen little Benjamin standing there... That's his little brother. You seen little Benjamin now that's over yonder, setting over there. The tribes of the--of the earth--or the Jews, return back there where there'll be a hundred and forty-four thousand of them standing there to receive Christ when they see Him coming. They'll say, "Lo, this is our God Who we've waited on." Then they'll see the pierced... "Where did these comes?" He said, "In the house of My friends." And they'll wail and they'll cry. And each family, the tribes of David, and Nepthalim, and all will separate themselves, each family, and weep to themself when they see Him standing in the air, the One they pierced. What will His message be? Watch what Joseph said. When he said... Watch another thing. When Joseph got the children before him, he looked at them; he seen little Benjamin. He seen Ephraim, he seen the rest of them there, the... Gad and all of them. And he... The twelve tribes, the ten tribes then, standing before him. He seen them all standing there. He knew they were his brethren. And he looked at little Benjamin, directly, his throat begin to fill up. He knew them was his. What did he say? "Let every man leave me." What happened to his wife and children? They went into the palace. Where will the Gentile church go at the rapture? Into the palace.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

92 The Bride (Hallelujah.), the Bride will be taken off the earth in the rapture. Then when He returns, His Bride isn't there when He makes Hisself known to His brethren the Jews, those who pierced Him, those who rejected Him. But his wife and his loved ones, his close friends there, his--his own God-sent companion set in the temple. And when he looked, he said they was... They didn't know; they said, "Oh, this great prince." And they begin to say one to another, oh, about these things of what they had done. I believe it was Ephraim... Or not Ephraim, but a--I forget which one it was now that--that said, "Well, we ought not to have killed our brother Joseph." Said, "You see, we're getting paid back," Reuben. Reuben said, "We ought not to have killed our brother," said, "because (You see?), we're getting paid back for what we done." And Joseph standing there; didn't think he could understand Hebrew, oh, but he knowed it.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

93 Some thinks, "Can't understand speaking in tongues," but He knows all about it. Yeah, He knows. The Gentile kingdom come in with speaking in tongues and interpretations in the head of gold. The first head, before it fell, what ended that first Gentile dispensation? A handwriting of unknown tongues on the wall, and a man there could interpret it and tell what it was. It goes out the same way (Amen.): entered in and goes out the same way. They thought he couldn't understand them tongues that he was speaking in, but he knowed it. And they said, "You see what we got?" And Joseph then seen they're sorry for what they had done. Now, He sees their sorrow and regret for rejecting Him, so He's choking up in His throat now. He's ready to dismiss His church from the earth, take her into glory; then return, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn. What did they do? Reuben and all of them begin to cry; they said, "Oh, oh."

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

94 They feared and said, "This is him. Now, we know we're in for it. Now, he will kill us. Now, he... We know that we're going to be destroyed right now, because that is Joseph that's been away from us so long. That's Joseph, our brother, now we're really in for it." He said, "Don't be angry with yourself. God did this to preserve life." What did God do? Why did the Jews reject Jesus? So that we Gentiles, so that the people that He called out for His Name's sake... God did it to preserve the life of the Gentile church, Bride. All the tribes who rejected Him will mourn. They'll hide themselves in dens and in rocks and things. They'll hop--fall on the mountains. They rejected It--Him. All the kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. And each family in Israel there will separate themselves; families will separate one from the other, and saying, "Why did we do it? How did we come to reject Him? How? There He stands.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

95 There's the God Who we've waited for. And there He is with nail prints in His hands, and we did it." That's exactly what them brethren said right down there when they come back and said, "There's Joseph who we sold." He said, "I'm Joseph, your brother, who you sold into Egypt." Oh, they were scared, and they were mourning and wailing and running to one another. "What can we do?" He said, "Don't be angry with yourself, 'cause God did this all. God sent me ahead." God created all men: white man, black men, brown man, yellow man, every man. God created every man. He created the Gentile, created the Jew. He created all, and it's all for His glory. The Jews had to be rejected in order to take a Gentile Bride. That's the reason all these types are. So the Gentile Bride and Her offsprings with Her, that glorious Pentecostal church washed in the Blood of the Lamb, with all the power of the resurrection living in them, will rise someday in the rapture in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye to go be in the Presence of Jesus, while He returns back and dismisses everything to make Hisself known to His brethren.

REVELATION_CHAPTER_ONE JEFF_IN 12-04-60 Morning

96 Watch what the Scripture says here in closing. Oh.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,... (Now, He's talking about the second coming, not the rapture.)... and they also which pierced him:...

The 7th chapter, the 1st verse... Or the 7th verse of the 1st chapter:

... every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all the kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so. Amen.

Then He gives that great--great quotation. Who is this? Who is this they're going to look for?

I am Alpha and Omega,... ("I'm A and Z," the Greek A and Z, Greek alphabet)
