Alpha and Omega Comparisons

The Teaching Ministry of the
Pillar of Fire
July 1st, 2007
Brian Kocourek, Pastor
A couple weeks ago we began looking at the Alpha and
Omega comparisons of the Ministry of God in the form of the Pillar of Fire. As
you are well aware, God has come down to man identified by His Shekinah
Presence which we call the Pillar of Fire in each of three Exoduses. The first Exodus
was with Moses, A prophet of God vindicated to be God’s Man with the Message for
that hour. Then god remained on the
scene in the form of the pillar of Fire with Joshua, to positionally place the
people into the promise for that hour. The Second Exodus came and God
identified Himself in the Pillar of Fire with his Own Son Jesus, and in fact
God enetered into his Son to reflect himself to the world. But The Pillar of
fire remained on the scene with the Apostle Paul and then paul was used to
positionally place the people into the promise for that hour. Finally we saw
the Third exodus as both preceeding it, where God came down in the form of the
pillar of Fire and used the prophet William Branham to lead the people forth
into an exodus from the church system. But that Same pillar of fire promised us
to remain behind and lead us into the Millennium through a teaching ministry to
positionally place the people as he did with Joshua and Paul. And remember,
brother Branham said, Joshua parallels Ephesians, and he also said we must have
another Ephesians. If so then he was saying we must have another ministry under
the Pillar of Fire to positionally place the people into the promise for this
hour. Now, that is quite a statement,
but bear with me as we study this further.
In Questions and Answers no 3 which concerned the
First of our Alpha and Omega comparisons, we reviewed the setting for each Exodus
and we found that in each of the exoduses the following characteristics.
I) There was a system that held the people in Bondage.
II) The people needed to be delivered from that system
but were incapable of doing so
themselves, and they were crying out to God for help.
III) Therefore, God Himself came down to deliver His
people in each of these three
Exodus’s.
IV) God anointed a Prophet Messenger to deliver the
people from the bondage of that system that held them captive.
In questions and answers number 6 we showed you how
that in each of the Three exoduses where God came down in the form of the
Pillar of Fire, that there has been a two fold ministry of the Pillar of Fire
in each of these Exoduses.
Now, we all know that God has had a prophet on the
scene for each of these three Exoduses under the pillar of fire. But, what most
people don’t realize is that after the people are taken out of the system by
the vindicated prophet with a message, the Pillar of Fire does not leave when
that prophet leaves the scene.
No, what we see by Scripture is that in each Exodus
after God takes His prophet off the scene, God remains on the scene and changes
the ministry from Exit to Entrance. Form calling the people out from the system
to entering into the promise itself.
So we see in each exodus that first God used a man
anointed as a prophet of God to reflect the Words of God to that people. The
Prophet took the people out. The Exodus began.
But notice that in each exodus there must be a going
out and an entering into.
In the First Exodus God used the prophet Moses to
reflect Himself to the people. When Moses came down from the presence of the
Lord his face glowed with the Shekinah Glory of God upon Him. God used His
prophet Moses to reflect Himself and His thoughts to the people to take the
people out, That’s in Exodus Chapter
34 and
Verse 29 And it came to pass,
when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in
Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the
skin of his face shone while he talked with him. And again in Verse 30 And when Aaron and
all the children of
And then we see Paul tell
the same story
in 2 Corinthians 3 and Verse 7 But if the ministration of death, written
and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not
stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which
glory was to be done away: and in Verse 13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the
children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is
abolished:
But there is another part I do not want you to forget
about because to just go out means nothing. Jesus said those that left
And everyone that looks at the three exoduses speak of
Moses Paul and William Branham. But what about Joshua and Jesus. How can we
leave out them?
I want you to notice that once the people were out of
NO, on the contrary, the Pillar of fire remained on
the scene to take the people into the promised Land. After God took Moses off
the scene, He used Joshua the son of Nun to bring the people into the Promised
land and then Joshua positionally place the people into the promise for their
hour.
Now, if God is the Lord who changes not as he said in
Malachi 3;6 and Hebrews 13:8, then we should find this same scenario in the
second Exodus as well, and we sure do.
In the Second Exodus God again in the same Pillar of
Fire entered into Jesus to reflect Himself to mankind. In fact Br. Branham
called it “Jesus in Jesus” when go dentered into His Son to reflect Himself to
the world. That’s what brother Branham said in his sermon, We would see Jesus.
We would see Jesus 58-0612 P:55 Look. When He was here on earth, how many
knows that that was the Pillar of Fire that followed the children of
So we see that the Pillar of Fire in the Second Exodus
did not just anoint the prophet for that day, but in this case entered into
Him. This time he was not just a prophet but since God entered into Him He
became the God Prophet. And notice once God was finished with that Prophetic
ministry which took the people out of Judaism and the Law, God took his Son the
prophet from the scene but the Pillar of Fire (God himself) remained on the
scene to take the people in and positionally place them into the Word of
Promise. So we see that as in the First Exodus God, anointed a prophet to take
the people out, He then remained on the scene as the Pillar of Fire to take the
people in using a ministry that would positionally place the people. That’s
what He did in the First Exodus and that’s what he did the same in the Second
exodus, for He is the same and changes not.
Now, Remember, God always uses a man. Although He told
Moses that he had heard the cry of his people and had come down to deliver
them, yet it was Moses that He sent to do the work. So we see that Moses took
them out, and if the pillar of Fire remained on the scene to lead them in he
must also use another man to do so. In the First Exodus he used the “Minister
Joshua” to bring the people in and positionally place them. In Exodus 24: 13 we read, And Moses rose up,
and his minister Joshua: and Moses
went up into the mount of God. So we see that Joshua was a minister
under Moses. So he was a minister. That’s what it says.
Now, in the Second
Exodus, after God in the form of the Pillar of Fire, left Jesus, then
God took Jesus off the scene like he took Moses off the scene. But as he did in
the First Exodus, God
remained on the scene in the form of the Pillar of Fire and used a teaching
ministry to positionally place the people.
Notice, Paul was The Teacher to the Gentiles, and God
in the form of the Pillar of Fire used Paul to take the ministry of Jesus and
positionally trace it through the Scriptures, and then by showing this to the
people Paul would then positionally place the elect of that day into the Word
for that hour.
Now, remember, brother Branham in his sermon the Super
Sign 63-1129 pp. 70
There was one Moses, one Elijah, one Noah, on down, always been that, but the
rest of them could accept it. And they
would've had no ministry unless there'd been somebody believe it. Jesus would've had no ministry 'less
somebody believed it. Paul would've
had no ministry 'less somebody believed it. The Holy Ghost has got no ministry by the Word today unless somebody's
willing to get away from their creed and come back to the Word again, no matter
how well it's here and how real it's here. It's here now. I know it's here.
I feel it. I know it's here. The Word says it's here. "Wherever two or
three are gathered in My Name, I'm in the midst of them." And I truly believe that He's here, the same
yesterday, today, and forever.
So
we see that even the Holy Ghost would have no ministry unless there was someone
to minister too that would accept it. So
then what I see is that at each exodus there was a prophetic ministry and then
a teaching ministry and then a people to receive that teaching. That is what
makes up the Elect of all ages. But it is the same Pillar of fire doing it all.
What we see in the Second Exodus is the men that hunted and fished with Jesus…well
fished any ways, and after Jesus went off the scene, (Notice, he was the
prophet for their hour) but after he went off the scene, they just hung around headquarters
you know, Jerusalem, and really those that fished with him really didn’t
understand the Message that Jesus had brought them, because if they had they
would not have sat back and done nothing but fuss with each other and
pontificate over one another.
No, had they understood what it was all about like
Paul did they would have done what Paul did. But it showed they didn’t
understand because they just sat around and pontificating over each other,
telling others what they could or what they could not do, and they spent their
time putting this one in and taking this one out of the Message for their day.
But, as for the reality of the Risen Christ in their midst, why, even though
the son of God appeared to them yet it was in Paul’s ministry that brought it
to the people around the world in his day.
The
But since that return ministry wasn’t to come for
2,000 more years they just sat around fussing about legalistic issues until God
brought down a squeeze upon them which forced them to leave headquarters and
bring the Gospel out to the rest of the world. So God anointed Paul to take the Word to the
nations, and God used Paul to positionally place the ministry of Jesus Christ
into the Scriptures, and to make that Word come alive to the people.
Ephesians 2: 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in
trespasses and sins;
Colossians 2: 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having
forgiven you all trespasses;
And so if there was a Third Exodus there must be the same pattern in it as there
was in the first Two Exoduses.
And as we see that the Apostle Paul, under the Pillar of Fire was The Teacher to the gentiles, then we can
understand why Brother Branham told us that Paul was the pattern for every truly ordained ministry of God.
156-1 SMYRAEAN CHURCH AGE –
CHURCH AGE BOOK.CPT.4 Now
think it not strange that this is the case, for Paul set this pattern under the hand of God. Paul alone had the full revelation for his day as evidenced by his
confrontation of the other apostles who admitted that Paul was the
Prophet-Messenger to the Gentiles for that day. And also note by actual
illustration in the Word, that when Paul desired to go to Asia, God forbade
him, for the sheep (His children) were in Macedonia and they (the Macedonians)
would hear what the Spirit had to say through Paul, while the people in Asia
would not.
In fact Paul so set the
pattern that when Brother Branham was looking for the person that was the Messenger
for each age, he held each one up to the pattern that Paul had set, and the
person that was closest to that Pattern is who was chosen as the Messenger for
the age.
Church Age Book Chapter 3 - The Ephesian Church Age P:21 His
manner of ministering set the pattern that all future messengers were to aspire to, and actually sets the pattern for every true minister of God, though he
would not attain to such heights in the prophetic realm as did Paul. Paul's
ministry had a threefold quality and was as follows: First of all, Paul was absolutely true to the Word. He never
deviated from it no matter what the cost. Galatians 1:8-9, "But though we, or an angel from
heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto
you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man
preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be
accursed." Galatians 2:11,14, "But when Peter was come to
24 Notice that Paul was unorganized, but Spirit-led, as when God moved upon
Moses to lead
Galatians 2:3-5, "But neither Titus, who was with me,
being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: And that because of false
brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which
we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: To whom we gave
place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the Gospel might
continue with you.”
25 Secondly, his ministry was in the power of the Spirit,
thereby demonstrating the spoken and
written Word. I
Corinthians 2:1-5, "And I, brethren, when I came to you,
came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the
testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus
Christ, and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in
much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of
man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith
should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”
Acts 14:8-10, "And there sat a certain man at
Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never
had walked: The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and
perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice, Stand
upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.”
Acts 20:9-12, "And there sat in a window a certain
young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long
preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was
taken up dead. And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said,
Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. When he therefore was come up
again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till
break of day, so he departed. And they brought the young man alive, and were
not a little comforted.”
Acts 28:7-9,
"In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island,
whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a
bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him,
and healed him. So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the
island, came, and were healed.”
II Corinthians 12:12, "Truly the signs of an apostle were
wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.”
26 Thirdly, he had the evident fruit of his God-given ministry.
II Corinthians 12:11, "I am become a fool in glorying; ye
have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am
I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.”
I Corinthians 9:2, "If I be not an apostle unto others,
yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostle-ship are ye in the
Lord.”
II Corinthians 11:2, "For I am jealous over you with godly
jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a
chaste virgin to Christ."
Paul had been the means of
bringing in multitudes of the Gentile sheep; he fed them, and cared for them,
until they brought forth righteous fruit and were prepared to meet the Lord as
a part of the Gentile bride.
From the Church Age Book
Chapter 4 - The Smyrnaean Church Age P:2 Introduction we read, In
order to refresh your minds I want to point out again how we arrive at finding
the names of the messengers to the various ages. God in His sovereign will has
seen to it that the history of the New Testament church was not lost, even as
He saw to it that the history of Israel would not be lost by placing it in the
Bible and corroborating it today from multitudes of scrolls, earthen vessels
and other artifacts that archaeologists have discovered and interpreted. We
actually have a running commentary of Bible history from the first page up to
now. Thus by reading history we can find out what man or men in the various
ages were the closest to God's original
pattern, the Apostle Paul. The ones
that God used to bring His people back to the Word of Truth would be the
ones to examine. Then out of those there would be one for every age who would stand out the clearest as the closest in
Word pattern and power. That one would be the messenger. The ages also are
found by a study of history. One simply needs to read the ages as found in Revelation
and it all patterns perfectly with history as INDEED IT MUST. Since the church
ages were foretold by God and their very conditions revealed, then of
necessity, the history that would follow would be as the Bible sets forth. It
is that simple, but then simplicity is the key to the Word. Now with all this I
have not simply been a student and a historian, I have sought to be a
Spiritual-minded man, and it was only with the definite approval of the Spirit
of God that I chose the men I have chosen. This is true as God knows my heart.
And finally we see the
pattern as set forth by William Branham in the Church Age Book Chapter 4 - The Smyrnaean Church Age P:140 In every age we have exactly the same pattern. That is why the light comes through some God-given
messenger in a certain area, and
then from that messenger there spreads the light through the ministry of others
who have been faithfully taught. But of course all those who go out don't
always learn how necessary it is to speak ONLY what the messenger has spoken.
(Remember, Paul warned the people to say only what he said, I Corinthians
14:37, "If any man think himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him
acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the COMMANDMENTS OF THE
LORD. What? came the Word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?")
They add here, or take away there, and soon the message is no longer pure, and the revival dies down. How careful
we must be to hear ONE voice, for the Spirit has but one voice which is the
voice of God. Paul warned them to say what he said, even as Peter did likewise.
He warned them that EVEN HE (PAUL) could not change one word of what he had
given by revelation.
Now, to me the evidence that
you have been faithfully taught is that you will speak the same thing and you
won’t deviate from what that God sent prophet teaches.
I have seen men rise up from
across the seas and claim to be somebody, but they just don’t understand the
message and it is very evident that they do not.
And so I asked brother Vayle
about these ones that brother Branham is speaking of here that have been
faithfully taught. Now, here’s what he told me. He said, “If you notice the
pattern, God raises up a man and identifies and vindicates that man to be the
one with the Word for the hour. Then God places certain one in close proximity
to that Messenger, and these are men who work closely with that man of God. And
while working closely with him they learn things that others who do not have
that closeness do not learn. These ones that are faithfully taught are not men
who have risen up from across the sea and then claim to have a great
understanding of the Message because of some gift. No, the
pattern is that God raises up a man and then there are those who sit at the
feet of that man and they learn and then when they begin to teach others the
pattern repeats itself. Just as Polycarp sat at the feet of John, and Irenaeus
sat at the feet of Polycarp. Etc.
Now, Joshua was a minister. He was a minister who sat
under Moses. And the Lord Jesus struck down Paul and chose Him, and took him to
the dessert and personally taught him. It wasn’t of Paul’s choosing. His choice
had sent him in the opposite direction, and he was found fighting Christ. So Paul
didn’t choose Himself. Paul didn’t call himself anything but a prisoner of the
Lord Jesus. He didn’t get puffed up. He didn’t say, hey, Look at me, I’m the
teacher now, you had better listen to my tapes. No, He knew better than to do
that.
And so too in this hour God has come and identified
Himself in the Pillar of Fire and reflected Himself through His prophet William
Branham. Then God used that Prophet to begin the Third Exodus, and God used him to lead the people of God out
from the bondage of the church system. The Cry “Come out of her my people, and be not
partakers of her evil” went forth, Then God took his prophet off the
scene just as he did with Moses and Jesus, but God Himself has remained on the
scene in the form of the Pillar of Fire just as He did with Joshua and Paul. So
too today, That same Pillar of Fire is here leading His people into the
Millennium.
Third Exodus 63-0630M P:130 Now, remember, Moses was not the Pillar of
Fire. He was the anointed leader under
that Pillar of Fire, and the Pillar of Fire only vindicated his message
with signs and wonders. And that Pillar of Fire led them to the land that God
promised them, where He, Himself, would be made flesh among them someday. Is
that right? What did they do? Murmured and squirmered and everything else to
show it was under the blood of an ordinary lamb. But this time (Glory to God.) the Pillar that we see among us, the Pillar
of Fire will lead us to the millennium, where He will return to His people
in that great millennium reign after this exodus, where we'll live eternally
with Him. He always has the Word of the Father, always proves that It's right.
Now, remember, although God used a prophet to bring
the people out and another ministry to bring them in, that other ministry did
not have another message. They taught the same message as the Prophet messenger
for their day, and by doing so they positionally placed the people into that
word of promise.
Just as God used Joshua to positionally place the
people into the promise for that day, and just as He used Paul to positionally place
the people into the Word of Promise for his day, so too in this day God has
anointed a ministry to positionally place the people, and to get them ready for
the Adoption, which will be the change of the body. Now, we know the Holy
Spirit is the teacher, and a few years ago brother Vayle told me “people are saying
when he is gone that there will be no more teaching, but that is error. He
said, The Holy Ghost is the Teacher and as long as he is here on the scene
there will be teaching, because he is the Teacher.”
Now, a few weeks ago before I preached number 6 in
this Q and A series, I talked to brother Vayle about these thoughts that I am
bringing out here and I asked brother Vayle if I could insert his name here and
he said, “no,
just say God who is the teacher is using the five fold ministry to teach.”
Then I asked him about his role, and I mentioned that
many of the brethren overseas look to him as their father in the Gospel, even
though I am the one who has been training them. And so I said, brother Vayle, I
feel that I am just sort of a helper and he said, “No, Brian, You are watering what I have sown.”.
So I guess that’s right.
So we see that in each age God has brought forth light
by a vindicated prophet and then followed up with a teaching ministry under the
same Pillar of Fire. So then, no man better step in and try to take credit for anything that God is doing. For we read
in Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
So you would not even have the will, nor would you
find yourself doing, unless it was God in you working in you the will to do.
A good friend of mine was telling me about another brother and himself having a
conversation about what the Lord is doing in my ministry overseas. And his
friend said, “You
know, he’s doing exactly what you and I
have talked about doing for years.” And my friend said, “yeah, but he is the
one doing it, not you and me. We talk but he’s doing.”
And so it is God
that worketh in you to will, and to
do. Then it is no more I that can do
anything. As Paul said, I am a prisoner of the Lord Jesus Christ And a
prisoner only does what he is commanded to do. Paul said in Titus that “the ministry of the
Lord are to be good stewards of that which God has entrusted in us, and we are
not to be self willed.” And that is the key. Not self willed. Not
what I want to do, nor where I want to go.
Jesus said, not my will but Thy will be done. If I had my own say
in it, I would be invited to the nice places, where there’s enough money to pay
my expenses over and back, and where I could stay in a place with a soft bed,
and hot water and no lizards walking the walks, and no mosquitoes dive bombing
you all night, and where you don’t have to swat mosquitoes away while you are
preaching, and where you don’t have to worry about a government over-throw
while you are in their country.
But like Paul said in 2 Corinthians 11:
26 In journeyings often, in perils of
waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by
the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in
the sea, in perils among false brethren;
And I would like to add, perils
in the air, perils on the land, and perils on the sea. Like when I traveled by
canoe across 20 miles of shark infested ocean with African Sleeping sickness
setting in my body, and then having to travel 27 hours by plane to get home
thinking that at anytime I was going to die. And on another trip having our
plane catch fire while in the air over
In Perils on land, where by
the grace of God I missed a car bombing. Had I listened to the local ministers
instead of the Holy Spirit I would have been standing outside the Lima Peru US
Embassy when a car bomb went off at exactly the same time and place I was asked
to be standing there by one of the ministers who wanted me to go with him to
seek a visa for him. And on another occasion I missed a suicide bomber who set
off his bomb in the same entrance I had gone through at a mall in Manila
And it doesn’t get any better. I lost count how many
times I have been attacked in my own body with bronchitis or pneumonia that
sets in a few days before I am to go overseas. And then try to feel good
preaching at 14,000 feet above sea level with your lungs half full from
pneumonia and the other half hardly working because of the altitude. And then
when I’m feeling a bit better, we’ve had false brethren go ahead of us from
church to church trying to persuade them to boycott our meetings, because they
say, I and brother Vayle are preaching two Gods.
I have had men of influence write letters to 40
pastors in
From Questions and answers COD 61-1015M P:31 brother
Branham said, Now,
when Israel was on their journey from
the land of Egypt going into Palestine, was a type of the church in the
spiritual today on it's journey to the promised land.
So what we are looking at today is that after God send
the prophet under the Pillar of fire with a Message, then he sends a teaching
ministry to positionally place the people. Same God in the same Pillar of Fire
doing both.
1st
Exodus: God then sends a teaching ministry behind that prophet.
Position in Christ 60-0522M P:15 The purpose of this study in this Book of
Ephesians is to positionally place the church where it absolutely stands in
Christ. It is a type of the Old Testament and the Book of Joshua, where Joshua
'lotted the land to each man. And he done it by inspiration. How Moses brought
the people out of Egypt, the garlic, leek, out,
and gave them a place to where God had promised four hundred years before, that
He would bring them into a place, a goodly land flow with milk and honey. And
Moses led the children of
Manifested sons of God 60-0518 P:10 Then did you notice Moses, that great
miracle performer that brought down Israel down through the land, and brought
them up to the promised land, but did not place their inheritance to them? He
did not give them their inheritance; he
led them up to the land, but Joshua divided the land to the people. Is that
right? And Christ brought the church up to the place to where their possession
was made to them, was given to them, just the Jordan to cross, but the Holy Spirit is the One Who sets the
church in order, the Joshua of today puts the church in its order, giving
to each one, gifts, places, position. And He
is the Voice of God speaking to the inner man that Christ has saved: the
Holy Spirit. Now, do you get that much of it? Now, we're getting over into the
Book of Ephesians. Now, the same way, He's
positionally placing the church where they belong. Now, Joshua placed them
in the natural land. Now, the Holy
Spirit is placing the church positionally, in the position that they belong
in, their inheritance.
Ephesians parallels Joshua 60-0515E P:35 Joshua, that great warrior, anointed of
God, positionally placed into the land, like Ephesians to the new church,
possessing the land, taking it over.
Ephesians parallels Joshua 60-0515E P:19 Now, the Book of Ephesians, as I was just
saying, to my opinion, is one of the greatest Books of the New Testament. It
leaves us on where Calvinism runs out on one limb, and Arminianism runs out on
the other limb, but the Book of Ephesian draws it together and positionally
places the church. Now, I've typed it with Joshua. If you notice,
Adoption or placing 60-0522E P:57 Predestinated before the foundation of the
earth to adoption of sons, predestinated to Eternal Life. Now, after you come
into Eternal Life, after you been saved, sanctified, filled with the Holy
Spirit, you're sons. Now, God wanting to
place you positionally, oh, so that
you can work for His Kingdom and His glory.

ministry behind that prophet.

I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

Perseverance 62-0608 P:95 Did you know that the Bible speaks of the
appearing of the Lord, and also the coming of the Lord, and it's two different
works? Search it and find out if that's right. The appearing and the coming is
two different things. The appearing of the Lord is now. He's appearing amongst
His people. We see Him in His same works, the appearing, His Holy Spirit. But
His coming will be in a physical being. It'll be to catch the church up.But
see, we've been down through the Word, justification, sanctification, baptism
of the Holy Ghost. And now the church is getting in such a condition, ready,
waiting. The offices... And the offices of the church is coming into its place.
The teachers are placing the places.
