Satan’s Eden no 25

Righteousness and Unrighteousness no 6

Ones in Between – The Knowing

January 9th, 2022 PM - Communion

Brian Kocourek, Pastor Grace Fellowship

As we study brother Branham’s sermon Satan’s Eden we can see the need for Gods vindicated Word for this hour. We also see in this very late hour the need for God to intercede on our behalf and speak forth His Own Word to us and continuation of interpreting his word to us by his bringing it to pass. We see the necessity of receiving the vindicated Word in order to bring our minds into a condition that will be ready for a change of our body.

This sermon was prepared for last week’s communion service which we moved up to this week. It in no way was put together with any knowledge of some certain events which were made known to me this very week. God gave me these thought a long time ago.

Now, in order then to really understand this Vindicated Mindset that we must receive from God, we have to recognize first of all how it comes and by whom it has come. In the process of doing this we must look at the opposite, which is a mind that is reprobate concerning the Faith, because there is always Twins, and to better understand one side of the picture you must be able to see the other side is there as well.

This way we can be sure of the True Method of God in contradistinction to the false methods of Satan. For Satan does not have a word of His own. He only takes God's Word and perverts it. And so as we understand these thoughts here, that there is only two types of people, those who actually Believe which we call Believers, and those who disbelieve whom we call Unbelievers.

Now Brother Branham told us that there are three types of believers, Believers, Make-believers, and unbelievers, but when he really boiled it down, he said there are only two types because the make-Believers are not really Believers after all, but are just Impostors whose true motives for hanging around the Believers are not because of their love for the Truth, but they hang around until they can find some fault with it, or with those who possess the truth, God’s vessels of honor.

And once the make believers find fault, they then begin to look for some way to justify their exodus from the True Believers and so they use the so-called faults they have found as their scapegoat, so when they finally find some fault to point at, they say, "Ha! I knew it!" and then they go their own way.

In 1 John 2:19 the Apostle John tells us “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 20 But ye have an unction (an anointing) from the Holy One, and ye know all things.” That anointing is given with the purpose of helping us to know.

Jesus told us in John 16:13 The very purpose of sending us the Holy Spirit is for us to know. “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”

And the apostle Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 2 that the evidence that we have the Holy Spirit is that we will be able to understand the things of God. “no man can understand the things of God unless the Spirit of God is in him.”

The Apostle John tells us, the very fact that they went out is evidence enough that they never really were of us. Therefore you can see brother Branham was totally right when he calls these people impostors. Because after all, the fact that they hang around a people they really do not identify with, shows that they are only looking for something else and not what the people have concerning their Faith. So we can see that these people are impostors by their false motives. They are hypocrites, play actors.

Therefore we can see by this that there are only two types of believers after all, because when we focus in and see that the make believer is actually just an unbeliever in disguise. We find the same thing in Matthew 7 where Jesus “warns us against wolves in sheep's clothing”.

Now why would a wolf be in a sheep's clothing?  We know a wolf wears sheep clothing to do one thing and that is to get close enough to the sheep to fleece them, and make merchandise of them, to devour them. And so we see it all boils down to motives.

And so we see that there are two types of unbelievers: Those who could care less and those who would make merchandise out of you. Frankly I would much rather talk to the one who could care less what I believe, than to talk to the other one who has ulterior motives. Neither One of them believe, but at least the one is honest about his unbelief, while the other one hides behind your belief, because he wants to get close enough to shear you. That's the one to watch out for.

Now we know there are two types of unbelievers and we also see there are two types of believers. The wise and Foolish Virgins which both are believers.  Both believe in a way Reported in Matthew 25.

156  Ten Virgins 60-1211M  Now, watch, they, both of them were virgins. Now, let me get this. Here, let's take these two right here. This is a virgin and this is a virgin. This was a foolish virgin and this was a wise virgin, but both of them are virgins.  Now, if you'll take that name "virgin" and run it down, it means "holy, clean, sanctified." The word "sanctify" comes from the word "sainted," which means "clean." Like the Hebrew word... Now, that's a Greek word; "sanctify" means "clean."

In Matthew 25:1-13 we read where Jesus said, “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2  And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4  But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

In COD 1033, pg 174 Brother Branham said “the Foolish Virgin is a Believer.  She wanted what the Wise Virgin had and she wanted to Meet The Bride Groom, but she just wasn't ready. She did not have the Oil to light her lamp.”

[E-35  Sudden Secret Going Away of the Church  58-1012] How many of you, all perhaps, have read of the virgins? Some were wise and some were foolish. "Virgin" means "purity." They were all good people, everyone of them virgin, sanctified vessels of God. But those who had oil in their lamps went in. And the others was left out. They were all virgins, everyone people that you couldn't put your finger on for anything wrong.

They everyone believed in the coming of the Lord. They were ready to go meet Him, but some of them let their oil go out. Don't let that be your case. Keep oil in your lamp. Oil is the Spirit, the Holy Spirit. Never let it drain from you. When you feel your love dying away, your sincerity to Christ, and to the cause, quickly go to Him Who has the Fountain of Oil and buy for yourself a filling of the Holy Spirit.

Now how then do we go to Him and refill these lamps? Psalm 119:105 Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. In fact we find brother Branham tell us the same thing in connection with his explaining this lamp the Wise Virgin had that was lit.

73  Conflict Between God and Satan 62-0531  Fire is the confirmation of the Light coming from the Word. The smart virgin, the wise virgin, had oil in her lamp, and she trimmed her lamp and lit it. Now, what is it? Now, God is the Word; the Oil is the Spirit; and the Fire is the Gospel Light on that Oil. Amen. God said so. See? That's the vessel. All right.

The Oil is in the vessel, and the Fire burning it, shows that it's reflecting the Light of what the Word said. See? That's the reflection. Now, that wise virgin could do that; but that other, foolish virgin, was on the outside, had no Oil. And they couldn't reflect nothing but just their church and their denomination. See?

Now, "You say the Word... You said the Word was Spirit?" Yes, sir. God said, "My word is Spirit." That's right.  The true Bride must be unified by the Word. Now, remember, if she is a part of Christ, she has to be the Word of Christ. In order to be the Word of Christ, you have to be baptized into Christ. And when you're in Christ, you believe Christ and Christ is the Word.

So then what does this mean to reflect the Word. The Wise could reflect the Word and the foolish could not. The reflection is when the Word is amplified in your flesh by actually seeing it as it comes to pass. Then you are a part of that Word that is coming to pass. You are reflecting it. You, your life, His Spirit living in you is the fire that lights up the Word.

God's only provided place of worship 65-1128M P:112 Notice Enoch, God's perfect reflector in type. When God was through with him, He just translated him (See?), took him up. The mechanics that he had reflected become dynamics with the Spirit, and took him up.

Same in the days of Elijah. Elijah, even to his bones, where that reflection... Reflector of God in his body being made manifest the Word of God. They laid a dead man on it; he sparked to life again. We are flesh and bone of Him, as long as we are the Bride of Christ. You believe that? All right. He died for us, and we die to ourselves and are buried in His Name, that we would no more be of the world, but in Him, of which both the family in heaven is named after Jesus Christ.

That's Ephesians 1:21. For the family in heaven... What's the family in heaven named? Jesus. What's the family on earth named? Well, that's the house of God where the Blood's at. Is that right? That's the Door, that's the Gate, that's the place He put His Name, and the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us. It's the Word reflecting and sparking off the age that you're living in.

That's what He was; that's what Moses was; that's what Jacob was; that's what the rest of them was: sparking off that Word of God, the reflector that God was reflecting Himself. And come to that perfect Image of God, Jesus Christ, God's Masterpiece; was struck that He might take the rest of them for a Bride that's been a reflector of Him.

Harvest time 64-1212 P:136 Now, doesn't Malachi 4 teach us, that before the great and terrible day of the Lord shall come, that this will take place? How many knows that? And He will restore the heart of the children to the fathers (Is that right?), the faith of the original Pentecostal fathers.""And in that day," Luke 17:20, I believe it is, Jesus said, "when the Son of man is being revealed," not man, "The Son of man," not an organization. "The Son of man," the Word living Itself again among the people.

See? The Word, Itself, made flesh in you, you are a reflection of this hour, the Message, reflection of it. See? You live again, live the Life that was in Jesus Christ. You're in the Presence of the Son. Then What happens to it? What happens to that Church? Finally, listen, that shuck pulls away from that wheat when it begins to be manifested. What happened?

The Life that was in the shuck, went on out in the wheat. The Life won't change. The carriers change; they denominate (See?): the blades, the tassel, the shuck. But the wheat can't change. It's got to be a ministry just exactly on the Word like He was on the Word, and like the first Church was on the Word, Spirit filled, Word fed; not denominational fed; Word fed.

In his sermon Shalom 64-0112 P:114 Brother Branham tells us how we become the reflector of Jesus Christ, the Word of God. In praying to God he says, “And let the Holy Ghost of God bring to them the rhythm of the Word and Its Truth, that they are to be molded now into sons and daughters of God, and they are to be the reflecting of the Light of God upon the earth.

They are to be the manifested Word, that men and women are to live the way Jesus lived, and to believe every Word of God and live by It like He did, for He said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God," not just a few of the Words, part of the Words, but "by every Word proceeding out of the mouth of God."

In other words as Paul said when he spoke of this reflecting Christ in Galatians 2:20. “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I am living, yet it is not I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me, and the Life I am now living in this flesh, I am living by the revelation of the son of God.”.

And He also spoke of this reflection in 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

And that I also what Jesus spoke of that we become a reflector of the same Glory He received of the Father that we might become one with the reflection.

John 17:20  Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21  That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22  And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

But God has a reason for your being a reflector. And that is to catch those who could not catch the manifested word on their own. But they can catch what they see in you who are reflecting the light of the manifested word in your life.

And that is what I would like to talk about this morning. Because we can see that there are two types of unbelievers and there are two types of believers. But that actually makes 4. And we know that 4 is the number of deliverance. But it is also the number of earth or earthy. But God’s number of Grace is 5 and therefore there has to be another group of people who are neither believers nor unbelievers, but are actually a separate Group altogether, which we shall call “the ones in between.”

Because it is strictly by Grace that they are given Life Eternal on the other side. And it is this group that I want to focus our thoughts upon this evening because we all have loved ones that just cannot see this Message of Grace that God has given to us. They are truly blinded to it and because of this it looks like there’s absolutely no hope for them. Yet God who is rich in Mercy has made a way for them and that is what I want to address to you this evening.

Your parents, your brothers, your sisters, maybe your children, or your close friends who are just blind and cannot help being blind. They were ordained to their blindness because they are part of what makes up the Laodicean age. which are blind, naked and miserable and don't even know it.

274-2 Church Age Book CPT.7  As Israel (chosen people of God) in majority forfeited their rights in the Book of Life by rejecting Jesus, so the majority of the Gentile church will also come into condemnation with the resultant removal of their names from the Book of Life by rejecting the Word and thereby entering into the world ecumenical movement which is the image erected unto the beast.

274-3  There is another point to see here. In the great White Throne judgment there will be a separation of people. The Book of Life will be opened and another book will be opened. 

And we see this spoken of in Matthew 25:31-46 “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”

So we see the great importance Jesus places on doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. Now, we will get into more of that in just a few minutes. But for now lets’ see what else the scriptures declare about this other group that is neither a believer nor a unbeliever.

Revelation 20:11-15  "And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from Whose face the earth and the heaven fled away: and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life:

Now, what do you think that book of life which is the record of your life is all about? Why do you think Jesus places so much importance on it that he speaks of it in the terms of the judgment.

Again we see the answer in Matthew 16:24-27 “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

26  For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27  For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

And again we read in Romans 3:19-20 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 20  And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

And again as we continue from the Church Age book we read, “and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works, And the sea gave up the dead which were in it: and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. There will be both the righteous and the un-righteous in this judgment. It says so. THESE RIGHTEOUS WILL NOT BE THE BRIDE FOR THE BRIDE SITS WITH HIM IN JUDGMENT.”

So if these righteous are not the Bride, because She is setting in judgment, then who are they and how were they made righteous?

I Corinthians 6:2-3 "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?"

Revelation 3:21 "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne." See, the bride is with Him in the throne. As she is to judge the world she has to be sitting in the judgment with Him.

That is exactly what Daniel saw. Daniel 7:9-10 "I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, Whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him: thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened."

What Books? The Book of life of every person that ever walked the earth. There will be recorded in the Book of Life everything you ever did. And the Bible tells us that your life will be judged by these records in your book of life. “So we See here this is the same scene as the other scriptures present. For the thousand thousands who are ministering to Him are the bride, for who ministers to the husband but the wife?”

CA 276-1  The question now arises, why are these righteous ones in the judgment? There is no other place that they can come up, for there are but two resurrections and since they could not qualify for the first resurrection they must come up in the second which is a resurrection unto judgment. The ones who qualify for the first resurrection (the bride) are not in the judgment.

John 5:24] "Verily, verily I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life (that is, the believer is already the recipient of eternal life which he has in his possession now) and shall not come into condemnation (shall not come into the judgment, is what it really says) but is passed (permanently) from death unto life."

But notice carefully, Jesus must have yet another group in mind who at a certain resurrection will receive eternal life. They will receive it at the resurrection, NOT HAVING PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED IT AS A MEMBER OF THE BRIDE.

John 5:28-29 "Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming, in the which ALL that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."

Now we all know that John 5:28-29 is NOT THE RAPTURE for only the dead in Christ will arise from the graves at that time along with the living bride who still is on the earth.

I Thessalonians 4:16-17 "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." But it says in John 5:28-29 that ALL are going to come forth from the grave.

This is the very same resurrection that is spoken of in Revelation 20:11-15 wherein THE DEAD were brought before the Lord and judged according to their works, and all whose names were not in the Book of Life were then cast into the lake of fire.

Revelations 20:11  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Now, how could they not be found in the book of Life? Because there were no records of them doing any good.

CA 277-1  We now face the question as to why they should be given eternal life at the judgment since the Epistles seem to conclusively point out that one must possess the Spirit of Christ or perish. Though it seems thus, we must not discredit the words of Jesus Who most pointedly sets forth that there are some found in the Book of Life who will either receive eternal life before the general resurrection or after it.

Paul does not evade this truth for he most clearly says in Philippians 3:11, "If by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead." Now this statement is most peculiar. We all know that we are ALL going to be in a resurrection whether we want to be or not. All will be resurrected.  So Paul could hardly be saying, "If by ANY MEANS I might attain to a resurrection of the dead."

The truth of the matter is, he is not saying that. The literal reading is, "If by any means I might attain to the `out-resurrection' from among the dead." This is not the attaining to the general or second resurrection, but attaining to the first resurrection, of which is said, "Blessed and Holy is he who hath part in the first resurrection, on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with Him a thousand years."

The first resurrection has nothing to do with the second death. That is at the end of the thousand years when ALL THE REST of the dead live again. And in that day there will be those who come forth to eternal life and those others who are caught in the second death. Now we do not need to guess about those who in the second resurrection are given life. We are told it is given to them on the grounds that they have been kind and good to the "Brethren".

Those who are raised and cast into the lake of fire will be so treated because of their mistreatment of the "Brethren". Since this is the Word of God we simply accept it. There is no argument here, just a simple statement of fact.

278-1  To further clarify, notice specifically the words of Matthew 25:31-46. It does not say that a shepherd is literally separating sheep from goats, but it is AS a shepherd dividing sheep from goats. These are not sheep in this particular area of time (White Throne Judgment). The sheep are in His fold, they heard His voice (Word) and they followed Him.

THEY ALREADY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE AND CANNOT COME INTO THE JUDGMENT. But these do NOT have eternal life, and they are in the judgment. They are allowed to GO INTO eternal life. But upon what grounds do they enter into life eternal? Certainly not upon the fact that they already have His life as does the bride, but they receive it because they were kind to His brethren.

They are not His brethren: that would make them joint-heirs with Jesus. They are NOT heirs to anything but life. They share no throne, etc. with Him. THEIR NAMES MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE AND NOT REMOVED. Now because of their love of the people of God they are recognized and saved. No doubt these served and helped the children of God. Perhaps like Nicodemus and Gamaliel they stood for the children in a time of trouble.

278-2  If this seems to smack of "restoration," watch carefully now, for the wicked are NOT restored, but turned into the lake of fire. The names of many of those destroyed were in the Book of Life also; but they were blotted out because they failed to honor the people of God who were the living manifested Word (living epistles) for their day.

278-3  Now let us be very clear here. These are not nations being judged and going into the millennium because they have harbored and helped the Jews. That is very clear because of the conclusion of these verses. "And these (the wicked) shall go away into everlasting punishment (lake of fire), but the righteous into everlasting life."

 There is no record of TWO judgments set where the wicked are cast into the lake of fire. Only the beast and false prophet are judged at the end of the great tribulation. No, this is the White Throne judgment, and they are judged according to what is written in the books.

279-1 It is the second resurrection wherein the five foolish virgins come up. Notice that they were virgins. They did not have the Holy Spirit so they missed being in the bride, while the five wise who had oil became a part of that bride. But these people, being a separated, God-loving people, and trying to abide in the Word, according to what they knew of it, and being a help in the work of the Lord will come up at the end of time. They will miss the millennium, which you can begin to see by these truths is much more important and wonderful than we have ever thought or believed.

279-2  All these people had their names in the Book of Life and their names remained. But whose names did not remain? Those of the world system churches who fought the bride will be those whose names are removed. That is who will lose out. They will be cast into the lake of fire.

279-3  Now let us go another step, but before we do let us review our case thus far. First of all we know most assuredly that the purpose of God stands in election. It was purposed in Himself. It was God's purpose to bring forth a people like unto Himself that would be a Word Bride. She was chosen before the foundation of the world IN HIM.

She was fore-known and beloved before she was ever brought forth during the ages upon the earth. She was redeemed by His blood and can NEVER come into condemnation. She can never be in the judgment because sin cannot be imputed unto her. Romans 4:8 "Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin." But indeed she shall be with Him in His throne of judgment, judging the world and even angels. Her name (each of her members) was written in a section of the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. 

Secondly, there is another class. Their names are also in the Book of Life and they will come up in the second resurrection. Such are the foolish virgins and the righteous as are spoken of in Matthew 25. In this class also are those who do not worship the beast or become involved in the antichrist system but die for their faith even though they are not in the bride, not having been born again. But they will come up in the second resurrection and go into eternal life. 

Thirdly, there are the borderline Christians such as we saw in Israel coming out of Egypt. These had their names in the Book of Life and their works written in the books. These having failed to obey God and being void of the Spirit, though even the signs and wonders were amongst them, will have their names removed from the Book of Life. Amongst this group will be the ones like Judas who though entirely void of the Spirit, but are religious, will have manifestation in their lives, and though on the books were not the elected IN HIM. Such also as Balaam will be in that group. 

Fourth and finally are the ones whose names have never been or will ever be written on the books. Such are found in Revelation 13:8 and Revelation 17:8, "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not: and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is."

Jesus said that a certain group would accept one who came in his own name. That one is the antichrist. And that is exactly what it says of them in Revelation 13:8, and 17:8. These were ordained of God but not unto election. And with this group is such that are as Pharaoh. It says of him, "Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up. Vessels of wrath fitted for destruction." Romans 9:17 and 22. None of these would be placed on the records of life.

I am not saying that there is no record of them. No doubt there is some kind of a record of them, but NOT IN THE RECORDS OF LIFE. Their purpose of existence has been dealt with slightly in the rest of this book but we can add two more Scriptures. Proverbs 16:4 "The Lord hath made the wicked for the day of evil." Job 21:30"The wicked is reserved to the day of destruction, they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath."

Now with this in mind, I hope you can see the importance of beig salty and applying the Token for your loved ones.

E-28  Blind Bartimaeus  56-0407 Just watch, watch what happens to that type of crowd. What if they could rise out of hell tonight, what would they do? I imagine there would be an old fashion altar call, sure enough. But they can't. Their attitude towards the Son of God then sealed their destination. And your attitude towards Him tonight will do the same thing for you. That's right. You either bring Him in or seal Him out.

The Token 63-0901  pg. 49 pp. 5 “Apply it, create that atmosphere around you, that they will just drop right into it. Oh, you are , if you've got the Token, you create an atmosphere around you of power, that when you walk, people know that you are a Christian. In love for you to say something to them. They believe your word, what you say, they hold onto it. See? That is it. Apply the Token, then walk in it. Claim your household. You must do it, now. This is the evening time.”

Is Your Life Worthy of the Gospel pp. 151 And did you know, you are a little creator yourself? Did you know that? Certainly! You've seen people that you just love to be around. You don't know why. Just that loving type of person. Haven't you seen that? Just as kind, you like you be around them. They create that atmosphere by the life they live, the way they talk, their conversation.

Then you've seen those that every time you - you shun them. All the time they want to talk about something evil and talk about somebody, and say, "Oh, my, there they come, they're going to talk about this man. All they're going to do is tell dirty jokes, or something about women, or something like that." You just hate to get around them. See?

They create. Seemingly pretty nice people, but they create that atmosphere. And the things that you think on, the things that you do, the actions, the things you talk about creates an atmosphere.

Awakening Jesusu 63-0117 And we create our atmosphere around us, each one of us. You've been with people that were nice people, but you just couldn't hardly be around them. Then you've been with other people that you just loved to be around them. You create that atmosphere. And, oh, wouldn't you have loved to have been around Jesus just a little? Wonderful! See what that atmosphere He created would have been. I imagine it was just one great big bundle of Love, and Respects, and Godly Fear.                    

E-13  Great Commission 58-0301B  “And what about a brother that has made a mistake? Though I say he's wrong. Sometimes he's accused wrong when he's not wrong. But if he is wrong, well, if we will take him to the throne of God, stand there shoulder-to-shoulder with our brother, knowing he's a mortal, and maybe his destination rests upon our attitude towards him, when we come back from the throne of God, we'll realize that we're everyone guilty, and we all need help one from the other. And the best way to do is pray.”

E-15  Impersonation of Christianity 57-0120M Our heavenly Father, today it's with grateful hearts, as we quietly and reverently approach this sacred moment, How do we know but what this very hour, may determine the eternal destination of a soul setting present? And the value of that soul is compared with many thousands of worlds.  

So we pray, Father, that You will let us approach reverently, solemnly, and in the attitude of prayer. And also, there may be sick people setting present, who this day, and their attitude that they receive through this Word, may determine how much longer they stay on the earth. So we realize the solemnity of this very moment, and we ask that Your great Presence will anoint us all.

E-24  From That Time  60-0302 Whatever you attitude is towards God, seals your eternal destination. You can walk across the line between grace, mercy, and judgment; and when you spurn grace so many times you can separate yourself from ever the Presence of God, or you can accept Him and have Eternal Life, and never die, but be raised up again at the last day in the general resurrection. Oh, how glad I am, that there's something that we can point back to and say, "From that time, something happened."               

Discernment of Spirit 60-0308  And we are here this morning, Father, gathered for no other purpose but to study to know the will of God and what we must do to make Christ real to the people of this generation. Knowing surely that in the day of the judgment we will be brought face to face with this generation. And, being ministers, we will be judges. And the people to which we have spoken to, and their attitude towards the Word that we bring them, will determine their eternal destination.  Therefore, Lord, in that day we would be a judge for or against the generation that we preached to.

32  Seven Church ages 54-0512 And may every one of the laity act tonight as if this was their last sermon they'd ever hear. God, take away all folly. Make us sincere, knowing that we must answer at the judgment of God someday. And our attitude towards Him and His Word now, will determine our eternal destination.

E-52  Then Jesus Came  57-0407E And whosoever will, may come and drink from the fountains of Life freely. You make your choice. Your eternal destination will be staked upon your attitude towards Jesus Christ. This might be your last chance. And when we bow our heads now just for a word of prayer. I'll ask the sister to come to the piano. While every person is in prayer, I want you to think it over.

E-7  God Projecting His Love 57-0806 Your action or your attitude towards this little piece of Scripture will seal your eternal destination. And if that Scripture is that valuable, it's plenty enough for us tonight to think on for just a little while.

E-10  Then Jesus Came 57-1213   These little words here tonight of these four letters that's been read for a text, they could seal your eternal destination, your attitude towards them. So that's what makes them so important. Them little words could set you free from sin tonight. Those little words could condemn you tonight. Those little words could set you free from sickness and suffering tonight, if you will receive them. But they've got to be received.

So what do we do if we wish to see our loved ones over there? Create an atmosphere of Love, project love to them that they may feel it and love you in return do good things to you. Then when they come before the Great White throne Judgments, the records of al they did for you will come up and they will be granted life. That is Gods final act of Mercy at the white throne judgment.

Let us pray.
