Satan's Eden no 43

Questions and Answer from April French Ministers Meeting

May 1, 2022 - AM

Brian Kocourek, Pastor

 

Question 1:Satan’s Eden n°33 Page 7 you said, “The Vatican motivated Globalists, thought they could break the world economies and the US dollar using the pandemics, but it did not work.”

 

“It did weaken the nations, but if you recall, the first time the Pillar of Fire came for an Exodus, it took ten plagues to break the economy and backbone of Egypt, and so We are in this for a little while longer I am afraid”.

 

What did you mean by “We are in this for a little while longer, I am afraid?” While we know that we are in great expectation for resurrection meetings?

 

Answer no 1: Just based on what has taken place over the past two years, we have already had one plague, COV-SARS-2 and another one coming on which is HIV because everyone who has had three pokes so far is developing HIV positive.

 

Why, because of the amount of HIV in the injection. The 1st part COV stands for the common cold and there are about 200 strains of it. The second part SARS came out of the same Wuhan level 4 lab in 2003, and was found to be deadly to older people.

 

They mixed the two and added 2 elements of HIV. to suppress the immune system long enough for the lipid cells that contained the spike proteins to go to work weaponizing the SARS.

 

With each additional injection you are adding more HIV that further suppressed your immune system giving you auto immune system, or HIV.  

 

In 1997 brother Vayle and I spent 4 hours discussing what plagues the vials contained. Each Church Age messenger came with a trumpet and a vial. The trumpet was his message, the gospel trumpet, and the vial was a temporary plague.

 

First seal the 63-0318 He come in the first age, the Ephesian Age, revealed, sent the messenger. Notice what happened as we go along. Here's the plan of it: The first thing happens, there is an announcement in the heavens first. What happened?

 

A Seal is opened. What is that? A mystery is unfolded. See? And when a mystery unfolds, then a trumpet sounds.It declares a war. Or a plague falls, and a church age opened. See? What is the war part?

 

The angel of the Church catches the mystery of God, not fully yet revealed, but when he does, he catches this mystery of God, and then he goes forth to the people (after the mystery has been given to him), goes forth to the people. What does he do out there?

 

He begins to proclaim that message, and what does it start? A war, a spiritual war.  And then God takes His messenger with the elect of that age, and lays them away asleep, and then He drops a plague upon them who rejected it: a temporary judgment.

 

And then, after that is over, then he goes on, and they denominate, and bring in denominations, and start off with that man's work like of Wesley and all the rest of them, and then it gets all in a scrapple again; and then another mystery comes forth.

 

Then what happens? Another messenger arrives on earth for a church age. See? Then when he arrives, the trumpet sounds. He declares war. See? And then what happens? Finally then he's caught away. And then when he's laid away, then plague falls destroys them. Spiritual death hits the church and she's gone, that group.

Then He goes on to another one. Oh, it's a great plan until it comes to that last angel. Now, he has no certain mystery, but he gathers up all that's been lost in them other ages, all the truths that wasn't truly revealed yet (See?), as the revelation come.

 

Then he reveals those things in his day. If you want to read it, there it is: A Revelations10:1 to about 4. You'll get it. All right. See?

 

Revelations 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

 

2  And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,3  And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

 

4  And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

 

Ok, so we know from what brother Branham told us the First seal that every age is the same. God send a Messenger and equips him with a Trumpet which is a Gospel Message and a vial which is plague of temporary judgment to the age for rejecting the Message of that Age. 

 

So a Seal is broke, a mystery that was not known is opened to the church, that causes a war within the church.

 

Some who believe stay with the messenger until God takes him off the scene, then God opens a vial or plague which is a temporary judgment for those who rejected. And we see that each age is the same, For God is the unchanging God.

 

Now, if we go to the book of Revelations, we will see this for each messenger to each age.

 

Revelation 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels, seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth fo

rever and ever.

 

OK, so we see in this verse there are seven angels with seven vials. Each vial is a plague for rejecting that Gospel truth that God revealed in that age through his angel or messenger.

 

Look up the word used in these verses and the word angel is aggelos in Greek and it means a pastor or messenger. Greek: aggelos from aggelo, to bring tidings, a messenger, especially an angel by implication a pastor or messenger.

 

Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

 

In this verse we see the instructions for each of the seven angel messengers is the same. So let’s go through the full seven angels or messengers to see they all fulfill what they were commanded in  Revelation 15:7

 

The first angel was Paul who was pastor at Ephesus. Which was the Messenger to the Ephesian Church Age. Then John took over after Paul was beheaded.

 

Revelation 16:3 And the second angel(we know as Irenaeaus Lyon France) poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

 

Revelation 16:4 And the third angel (Martin of Tours France) poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

 

Revelation 16:8 And the fourth angel (Columba – Ireland and Scottish Isles) poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

Revelation 16:10 And the fifth angel (Martin Luther - Germany) poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

 

Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel (John Wesley - England) poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

 

Revelation 16:17 And the seventh angel (William Branham) poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

 

That means that is the end of it. But is it? Watch what happens with this seventh angel. Remember each has a vial for the mystery rejected in their age.

 

But let’s read on and see that this last angel the seventh angel has seven vials because he did not come to present one mystery but all the 7 mysteries that were rejected during the seven church ages, and he came to fully restore what all the other ages had rejected. 

 

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

 

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.

 

Notice this seventh angel is the one to proclaim the curse on the Whore of Revelation 17and also introduces the Bride to Christ. So, the seventh angel is the last angel. And this is the same angel who cries out in Revelation 18.

 

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

 

Notice his message in Matthew 25 is always the same, come out, in Revelations 3 to the church age, I am standing at the door come out, in James 5 Behold the judge is standing at the door saying come out,

 

And Revelations 18come out and in Revelation 21 he says Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.Oh, I hope you can see why he is the same yesterday, today and forever

 

And don’t think I am talking about the vessel that God uses. No, I am talking about the Lord Jesus Christ who is the angel of the covenant.

 

Trying to do God a service 65-1127B P:88 Now, He promised that, so that sets the Bible just exactly to this day, and the Sodom and Gomorrah. And Elijah was not... That wasn't Elijah; that was the Spirit of God on Elijah;Elijah was just a man.

 

Now, we've had Elijahs, and Elijahs' coats, and Elijahs' mantles, and Elijahs' everything. But the Elijah of this day is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is to come according to Luke 17:30.

 

It... The Son of man is to reveal Himself among His people: not a man, God. But it'll come through a prophet. And He never had two major prophets at the same time, never in the world. See? No matter how much there's... Two--two heads can't... It has to be one head.

 

God has to get one man under His control. See? There's one God; there was Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but one God over it all, notice, and just used them offices. So has He with Elijah, the Spirit of Elijah; he used that Spirit, but the same God controlling It all the time to fulfill His Word.

That is why William Branham could say, Anointed ones at end time 65-0725M P:193 Now, I want you to know this is sure. And you that listen to this tape, (you tape listeners, you people who push play)

 

you might have thoughttoday 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; (so the angel has a 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?

 

Now, in getting back to our question, we see that the seventh angel, not only brings his own vial which he pours out in Revelation 17:1 against the church which is the chapter that deals with the whore and her harlot daughters, which is all spiritual, and that is why the vial he opens brings spiritual death.

 

But now in Revelations 21:9 this last angel messenger pours out seven last vials or plagues. So if it is the seven last plagues then it is the seventh angel who is this one of the seven, because the seventh is the last and you would not expect the first to pour out the last vial or the second, or the third, or fourth, or fifth, or even the sixth.  The last angel pours out the last plagues.

 

Which is the last angel messenger which brings the seven last plagues. It has to be, If these are the last plagues, then it has to be the last messenger to do so.  This should be very easy to understand.

 

And that tells us that he pours out the first one during his ministry to the world, but then there is a space of time between Revelation 17 and 21, and then it has to be during the time of the resurrection ministry of that seventh angel which is the voice of 1 Thess 4:16.

 

Because the same seventh angel who was used to declare the Shout of 1 Thessalonians 4:16 will also declare the Voice and during this time, because the same one does all three things during his parousia, and therefore the last seven vials will hit the world while the bride is sealed away.

 

Token the 64-0208 P:26 Likewise, we must remember that God is long-suffering, not willing that any should perish. He always sends His signs, His wonders. And then when He gets ready to do anything, He separates the believer from the unbeliever. And notice then how He provided for His promised-land people. Look what He did for His promised-land people there, to be sure that they would not be mixed up in some kind of an ism.

 

What did He do? He sent a prophet to them, Moses, with a message identifying God's Word. And to identify Moses, He sent a Pillar of Fire that hung over him. Amen. Then to give him the perfect assurance, He required a token. Amen. There's a messenger, the message, and the vindication, and the token, the perfect assurance that they had nothing to worry about. No matter how many plagues strike, what everybody else says they are sealed away.

 

Seal of God 54-0514 P:66 Revelations the 9th chapter now. Let's read real close here for a few moments, if God willing, and see what He said in His Word. Now... [Blank spot on tape--Ed.]... of Revelations, and the 4th verse. Listen to this.

 

And it was commanded them... (when they seen the plagues being poured) ...that they should not hurt the grass or the trees... neither any green thing, neither any tree; but... those men which have not the seal of God in their forehead.

 

When the plagues was coming, only thing was protected was those who were sealed away in the Kingdom of God. This is the investigating judgment, when men...  And if God will help me, in a few minutes we'll prove it by the Word of the Lord, that this is the time of the sealing of the plagues. And those who reject It, there is nothing left but eternal punishment.

 

Sixth seal the 63-0323 P:73 Then when Messiah was cut off, the Jew was blinded so he couldn't see that was Messiah. And then when Messiah was cut off, then the Gospel and grace age come to the Gentile.  And they come down, and God pulled one from here and there and here and there, and put them away under the messengers, and here and there and here and there,

 

put them away under the messengers; and He sent forth the first messenger, and he preached, and the trumpet sounded (as we pick it up after while); and then the trumpet was declaring war. Trumpet always denotes war. The messenger, the angel come on earth, the messenger of the hour, like Luther's, like any of the messengers that we've talked of.

 

What does he do? He arrives, and a Seal opened, reveals; a trumpet sounds, war declared, and away they go. And then the messenger dies. He seals away this group; they're put in; and a plague falls upon those who rejected it.  See? And then it goes on, then they organize, get another organization. (We've just come through it.)

 

Now, I hope you are as excited about this as I am to see this. But God is making all things so clear to us in these last few years, so we will have no worries as the world is being prepared for the burning.

 

Since there were ten plagues in Egypt at the first Exodus, and the last plague was death, I believe the first of the last seven plagues will also be death, but this time it is spiritual death.

 

Now, I want you to see the separation between the seventh messengers first vial in Revelations 17:1 that was for the rejection of his ministry.

 

But then between Revelations 17 and 21:9 there is a period of time, and then he pours out 7 vials. He pours out seven vials of seven plagues.

 

In 1953 Brother Branham said in his sermon, Israel at the red sea 2 53-0327 P:33 Now, we're coming down to the last plague, last thing. God said, "I'm tired fooling now. I'm going to give the last plague." Now, I want you to notice; the last plague was death.

 

Now, we've had earthquakes; we've had wars and rumors of wars; we've had tidal waves, as Jesus said would be, the sea a-roaring, man's heart failing, more heart trouble (number one disease), fear, perplex of time, distress between the nations, horseless carriages in the broad ways, all these things fulfilled.

 

But the last plague is death, not physically speaking, but spiritually speaking, death, spiritually in the church. You notice it was amongst the sons: spiritual death. The church has got more members than it ever had, thriving better than it ever did, and yet the weakest in spirit that it ever was. That's true. That's just like it was in Egypt.

Speak to this rock 60-0612 P:22 How easy they had forgotten, that when the plagues was in Egypt, that they were protected. When there was flies all over everything, there wasn't a fly around them.  When lice filled all the beds, all the clothing, and everything, there wasn't one bit of it on them. Frogs was in the cupboards and everything else, all over the rest of the unbelievers, but they had been protected, God showing His mercy.

 

Notice, and when that final and great night came, God said, "This is My final blow at Egypt. But before I can strike this blow, I've got to bring My children to protection." And there was a sacrificial lamb killed, and the blood was put on the post and the lintels of the door, and the congregation went under the blood. Remember, that was the last plague that struck Egypt.

 

And the last plague that's striking the church today is the same as that was: a spiritual death. Because as God led them literally, He leads us spiritually. And the last blow at the enemy is death is striking, and all from under the blood, is dis-fellowshipped by the Holy Spirit.

 

Unveiling of God 64-0614M P:81 They spiritually die now. This is the spiritual veil. See? That was a natural veil. This is spiritual veil. See? They keep walking right on in behind there; you can tell them. "Oh, I know. I know that, but I..." Go ahead; it's all right; it only speaks...

 

You remember, the last plague in Egypt was death, before the exodus. The last plague on earth is spiritual death before the exodus. Then they'll be cremated and turned back to the dust, and the righteous will walk out upon their ashes.  But the last thing is spiritual death, rejecting the Word.

 

Now, again look the last age vial was spiritual death, and then the Tribulation comes on with seven vials being opened by the seventh angel. Wheew!!! I think God still has a lot to happen after that resurrection meetings we are to see come up next, because the world will have to be judged,

 

But we (God’s Bride) will not go through the judgment. That is John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

 

And watch how Jesus himself ties that judgment with the time of the resurrection. Let’s read the very next verse.

 

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.  26  For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

 

27  And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28  Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

 

29  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.

 

So brothers, I do not know exactly what those vials contain, but we see this respiratory disease is almost identical to the Spanish Influenza which hit the sixth church age,

 

And we know the 5th Church Age was Tuberculosis which wiped out about 25% of the European Population in that age.

 

And we know the Bubonic plague hit both the second and third church ages and wiped out first much of Asia minor and then the third age much of Europe.

 

As I mentioned brother Vayle suggested one would be AIDS which is HIV and we are actually seeing the beginning of that because of all the booster shots. So because the people stepped out from the protection of the Word God is leaving them defenseless. That’s right.

And of course, we will see a financial depression hit this world as never before, because that is prophesied in Deuteronomy 28 and of course we will see starvation on a world-wide scale as e see in Amos 8.

 

So Spiritual death first, then Respiratory second, then Aids third, then some form of the bubonic plague 4th, because that is actually what Russia found in the bio weapon labs in Ukraine.

 

They found they were weaponizing those pathogens, and then financial depression 5th, starvation 6th and finally Ebola the seventh as we see described in Zechariah 14:12 to come on the world after they attack Israel.

 

So that is the way I see it my brothers, but I am not a prophet Messenger of God, just simply and apostle to you as well as I also pastors a church no different than what John and Paul did. You have to have a church home and work to support your Apostleship.

 

Question 2: In the Rapture sermon, P:75, the prophet said “Three things happen, a voice, a shout, a voice, a trumpet, has to happen before Jesus appears. Now, a shout. Jesus does all three of them when He's descending.”

 

Does this quote speak about 2 Jesus: Jesus, the Father descending with the three things, before Jesus, the Son appeared, what is your opinion on this?

 

Answer no 2: Always remember to get your eyes off the vessel and onto the God who uses the vessel. There is a difference between the appearing of the Lord and the coming as brother Branham taught us so well.

 

From that time 62-0713 P:102 How many knows there's a difference between the appearing of Christ and the coming of Christ?It's two different words. Now's the appearing, the coming will soon be.

 

He's appearing in the midst of us, doing the works that He once did, in His church. Now, you're a part of that church, and by grace you believe. I am a member of that church. Now, I'm not a preacher.

 

You know I'm not. I have not the education to do it. Sometimes I feel reluctant standing here by men of God, who's called to that office. There are apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangelists.

 

Not all are apostles, not all are prophets, not all are teachers, not all evangelists. I'm standing here...But my ministry is a different ministry from a pastor or teacher. I'm not. And if I say things wrong, brethren, forgive me. I don't mean it. But this is my ministry (See?) to declare Him, that He's here.

 

So, who was it with the midnight cry in Matthew 25 that cried out “Behold the bride groom is here, come out to meet him?

 

That was the seventh angel of Revelation 21:9who said, “Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.”

 

It is I be not afraid 62-0611 P:81 You know, there's a difference between the appearing of Christ and the coming of Christ. That's two different words altogether. He's appearing now in His church. We see Him; we know it's Him. It's the Holy Spirit. See? We know it is. Now, We believe that the Holy Spirit is God. All of us know that.

Jehovah Jireh part 2 62-0706 P:74 This is the close of the royal Seed's waiting. He's here, the appearing of Christ. Did you ever try to divide... There's a place in the Bible, you know, I ain't got time to go into it, says, the appearing of Christ, and then the coming of Christ.

 

That's two different things altogether, the appearing and the coming. He's appearing now, working with us in the form of the Holy Spirit, making it just perfect, the Church; It has to. …

 

Question 3: 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”.

 

Jehovah Jireh part 2 62-0706 P :74... “There's a place in the Bible, you know, I ain't got time to go into it, says, the appearing of Christ, and then the coming of Christ.”

 

Where is that place or scripture the prophet’s referring to, where it’s about both the appearing and the coming?

 

Answer no 3:1 John 2:2 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

 

We know also that Jesus, Paul, Peter, James and John all spoke of the parousia of Christ which was wrongly translated as coming by the King James translators.

 

But the word Parousia simply means presence and had they left it un translated we would read that word Parousia in our English Bibles and then look up and know it means presence. Presence is the direct translation of the Greek word Parousia.

 

In  1897,  the notable  Christian   author J. B. Rotherham of Cincinnati, Ohio, wrote a Bible translation  he called [The Emphasized Bible]. In his translation he noted the following ,"In this edition the word Parousia is uniformly rendered "Presence" ("Coming," as a representative of this word being set aside.)" He continued  "The Parousia,...  is still in the future, and may therefore be enshrouded in a measure of obscurity which only fulfillment can clear away: 

 

It may in fine be both a period, more or less extended, during which certain things shall happen, an event, coming on and passing away as one of a series of Divine interposition's, Christ is raised as a first fruit, that is one event; He returns and vouchsafes His "Presence,"

 

During which time He raises His own, that is another event, however large and prolonged; and finally comes another cluster of events constituting "The End." Hence after all, "Presence" may be the most widely and permanently satisfying translation of the looked-for Parousia of the Son of Man."

 

Another author, Israel P. Warren DD of Portland Maine, wrote in His book[The Parousia]1879 in pp. 12-15 "We often speak of the second advent, the second coming, etc., but the Scriptures never speak of a second Parousia. Whatever was to be its nature, it was something peculiar, having never occurred before and being never to occur again.

 

It was to be a Presence differing from and superior to all other manifestations of Himself to men, so that It's designation should properly stand by Itself, without any qualifying Epithet other than the article, "The Presence".

 

"From this view of the word it is evident, I think, that neither the English word coming, nor the Latin Advent, is the best representative of the word. They do not conform to It's etymology; they do not correspond to the idea of the verb from which It is derived; nor could they appropriately be substituted for the more exact word, "Presence".

 

In the cases where the translators used the latter, nor is the radical<root> of them the same.  "Coming" and "Advent" give most prominently the conception of an approach to us, motion toward us; "Parousia" That of being with us, without reference as to how it began. The force of coming or advent ends with arrival; that of Presence begins with the arrival.

 

Coming and advent are words of motion whereas Presence shows rest. The space of time covered by the action of coming or advent is limited, it may be momentary; that of Presence is unlimited.

 

Had our translators done with this technical word "Parousia" as they did with "Baptisma" transferring it unchanged, or if translated using It's exact etymological equivalent, "Presence" and had It been well understood, as It then would have been, that there is no such thing as a second "Presence,"'

 

I believe that the entire doctrine would have been different from what it now is. The phrases, "second advent," and "Second coming," would never have been heard.

 

The church would have been taught to speak of the "Presence" of the Lord, as that from which It's hopes were to be realized, whether in the future or at the remotest period, that under which the world was to be made new, A resurrection both Spiritual and corporeal should be attained, and justice and everlasting awards administered,"

 

....He continued, "The word Parousia became the official term for a visit of a person of high rank, especially Kings & Emperors visiting a province."

 

Question 4: 37-4 Christ is the Mystery 63-0728 … “Oh, if the Church only knew its position. It will one day. Then, the rapture will go when it knows what it is.

What’s this position is really about?

 

Answer no 4: Brother Branham spoke 145 times on the adoption, and 18 sermons in particular called “hear ye him,” and about 8-10 others sermons all dealing with the adoption and our position in the body or our position in Christ.

 

In fact, several messages dealing with our position in Christ. And this idea of the church knowing its position, means she understands her place in the family as brethren, and Christ being the eldest brother in a vast family of brethren as Paul said in

 

Romans 8:29-30“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, (That is knowing your position in the family) that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

 

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

 

I love the way the Weymouthtranslationfor those whom He has known before hand, He has also predestined to bear the likeness of His Only Begotten Son; that he might be the eldest in a vast family of brothers."

The expanded Bible says29 ·God knew them before he made the world, For those whom he forekne, ·and he chose them, he also predestined/chose beforehand, to be ·like molded to the pattern of;

 

conformed to the image of his Son so that Jesus would be the firstborn, the preeminent one, but also indicating others will follow, of many brothers and sisters.  Jesus’ resurrection confirms that his followers will also share in God’s glory.

 

30 And those God ·chose to be like his Son He predestined; chose beforehand, he also called; and those he called, he also ·made right with him, and declared them to be righteous; and justified; and those he ·made right and declared righteous; and justified, he also glorified  which isboth a past act in Christ, and a future transformation.

 

In other words God guaranteed our end from our beginning. Hallelujah.  Oh, if the Church only knew its position. It will one day. Then, the rapture will go when it knows what it is.”

 

And brothers, it takes understanding the doctrine of Christ in order to understand your position in Christ. And we know when a child of God is born into the family, he is in the family but he must grow up and be the right kind of son,

 

And always about his father’s business in order to come to adoption. That is why you cannot separate the teaching on Father and son and son which is the doctrine of Christ from the teaching on adoption. That is Romans 8 altogether.

 

Hear ye Him 62-0711 P:52 Now. Notice in the Old Testament now, this boy when he was born into a family... Now, the first thing the father did after he got old enough to begin to be taught... Now, he's a son when he's born, certainly. He's the family name. He's got it.

 

But he has no inheritance yet. He has to find out what kind of a person that's going to be before he has an inheritance. Now, the father, to be sure that that son had the right training, hunted the very best tutor that he could find.

 

And he never got one that would just pull punches to find favor, or something like that, say, "Well, I'll make a report on the boy, he's doing all right, because the father might lift me up a little." He's going to get somebody that's going to tell him the truth. And he...

 

Hear ye Him 60-0712 P:37 When this son was born in the home, positionally, it was a son, a son of the father. But now, what did that father do? He didn't have time to be with that one son; his business was great. So he hired a tutor or a raiser, teacher.

 

And he searched the land until he found the right kind of a man, because that was his child. And he wanted that child brought up right, because that child would inherit everything that he had someday.

 

But, he looked out all over everywhere, until he could find the right type of a man, not one these men that's trying get a feather in his hat, tell a lie, or, "Oh your child's doing all right" when he wasn't. And he'd have to report the progress of that child. Now, that was placing a son. The ministers here understand and know what I'm speaking of, the placing of a son, Paul in Galatians and so forth, the placing of a son, the Old Testament...

 

And of course we should all know as brother Vayle taught the difference between our status and state. Our status is that we are sons, but our state is where we are along our path towards being a fully mature son always about his father’s business. 

 

When you are born again you are born into the family, but we have to reach full maturity to be adopted and placed in our role in the family. And so we are all somewhere between babes in Christ and fully mature sons and daughters. 

 

I could go on more about this but my books and tapes and teaching on adoption have been Translated into many languages and I hope if you haven’t already, I hope you take the time to read them carefully and prayerfully because it concerns your growth in Christ.

 

Let us pray
