[Romans] 1:18-26 18 For the wrath of God is revealed( apokolupsis
- laid open, made known, uncovered) from heaven
( ouranos = the universe) against (epi = in opposition to) all ungodliness ( lack of reverence toward God) and unrighteousness ( un right wise ness) of
men, who hold ( katecho = suppress, restrain or hinder, hold back) the truth in unrighteousness;
[19] Because that which may be
known of God is manifest to them; for God hath shewed [it]( phaneroo = to manifest in
it’s true character) unto them. [20] For the invisible things of
him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are
without excuse:
AMPLIFIED: (For that which is
known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness,
because God Himself has shown it to them) In other words, there has to
be a phaneroo for this to take place. Then this speaks of the once for all
enlightenment that must take place according to
Hebrews 6. Amplified (Read) Therefore let
us go on and get past the elementary
stage in the teachings and doctrine of
Christ the Messiah, advancing steadily toward the completeness and
perfection that belongs to spiritual maturity. Let us not again be laying the
foundation of repentance and abandonment of dead works (dead formalism) and of
faith by which you turned to God, With teachings about purifying, the laying on
of hands, the resurrection from the dead, the eternal judgment and punishment.
These matters of which you should have been fully aware long, long ago. If
indeed God permits we will now proceed to advanced teaching. For it is
impossible to restore and bring again to repentance those who have been once
for all enlightened, who have consciously tasted the heavenly gift, and have become
sharers of the Holy Spirit, and have felt how good the Word of God is and the mighty powers of the
age and world to come. If they deviate from The Faith and turn away from
allegiance; it is impossible to bring them back to repentance, for because, while
as long as they nail up on the cross the Son of God afresh, as far as they are
concerned, and are holding Him up in contempt and shame and public disgrace.
(We are looking at the
judgment then of those who would willfully turn away from the Truth, or willfully
withold the Truth from others.)
[21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as
God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their
foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the
incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and
four footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of
their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of
God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator,
who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave
them up unto vile affections: for even
their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is
unseemly, and receiving in themselves
that recompense of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like
to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things
which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of
envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of
evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding,
covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God,
that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same,
but have pleasure in them that do them.
Now we are promised that
God’s wrath will deal with these people at the end-time. As you know, Wednesday
night we began to deal with this subject
of the wrath of God and the judgments that are in the earth. We found
that the juddgments are brought to earth at the time of the seventh angel.
REVELATION 21:9 And there came unto me one
of the seven angels which had the seven
vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come
hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. Now, notice that this angel
is to show or present the Bride of Christ, and he is the same one that brought
forth the vials containing the seven last plagues. ( angel with small (a) means messenger).

278 Modern Events Made Clear by
Prophecy 65-1206 “there will come on this earth,
by God's promise, a genuine servant of God, identified by God, by His Word
being the answer of this day, that'll set the Bride in order (a real little
minority of the church) and take it up. That's right. He'll introduce,
"Behold, there's the One I talked about (See?), that'll come."
120-1 The Spoken Word is the
Original Seed 62-0318E Then from a little group of the true Seed of the Word, God will present Christ a beloved Bride,
a Virgin, a Virgin of His Word.
269 Anointed Ones at the
End-Time 65-0725M Now, I want you to know this
is sure. And you that listen to this tape, you might have thought today that I
was trying to say that about myself, being that I was packing this Message. I
have no more to do with it than nothing, no more than just a voice. And my
voice, even against my better judgment... I wanted to be a trapper. But it's
the will of my Father that I declare to do, and determined to do. I wasn't the
One that appeared down on the river; I was only standing there when He
appeared. I'm not the One that performs these things and foretells these things
that happens as perfect as they are; I'm only one that's near when He does it.
I was only a voice that He used to say it. It wasn't what I knew; it's what I
just surrendered myself to, that He spoke through. It isn't me. It wasn't the
seventh angel, oh, no; it was a manifestation of the Son of man. It wasn't the
angel, his Message; it was the mystery
that God unfolded. It's not a man;
it's God. The angel was not the Son of man; he was a messenger from the Son of man. The Son of man is Christ. He's the One that you're feeding on.
You're not feeding on a man. A man, his words will fail, but you're feeding on
the unfailing Body-Word of the Son
of man. If you haven't fed fully on
every Word to give yourself strength to fly above all these denominations and
things of the world, will you at this time do it, while we pray?

them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his
hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. 14 And Judah also shall fight at
Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered
