This is the Bride Age

Spiritual Building-Stone No. 175

Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: (Christ on the outside of the church – the Word was put outside for an organisational system!) …if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

Listen to what God’s Prophet in this endtime said about it:

We're in the last days. We all know that. And we're ready for the coming of the Lord. The thing to do is separate yourself from all sin. Separate yourself from anything that pertains to the world. Don't love the world or the things of the world. Let no man, by his creed, deceive you. You stay right straight in the promise of God, the Word of God; and that Word, if It's the Word, for this day, God vindicates It so. If He doesn't, it's not the Word for this day. The Word that fell on the day of Pentecost will not work this day. No, sir, that was for Pentecost. This is for the Bride: going home of the Bride. We got some¬thing different. The Pentecostals represented that again. We're in the Bride age. No more than the Word of Noah would’ve worked in the days of Moses. No more than Moses' law would've worked in the time of Paul, here. He tried to tell them, "You're dead to that. And you cannot have that." (Gal. 3:21-28; 2:19-21).

Church, you, who I'm speaking to tonight across the nation, if you've separated yourself from denomination and all the filth and things of this world, and all those things that keeps you in manmade creeds, and orders, and things like that, you separated yourself, look up. Get ready. The fire's going to fall one of these days. God's going to let Him come, in a sight to behold. Would you be ready when He comes? Would you be ready to go up with Him when He comes? The secret rapture of the supernatural Bride... She'll be made from mortal to immortality; be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye (I Cor. 15:51-54). “We which are alive and remain shall not prevent them which are asleep” (I.Thess. 4:13-18). [1]

Didn't Jesus say in the last days (Matthew 24:24) the two would be so close it would deceive the very genes, predestinated, the Elected One, if it was possible? Almost like the real thing, so in the last days... Now, you see, it's wheat time now. It's getting harvest time. This is not Luther's age; this is not Pentecost age; this is the Bride age.

As Moses called a nation out of a nation (Exod. 3:1-10), Christ today is calling a church out of a church (You see?), the same thing in type, taking them to the glorious eternal promised land.

Now, to refuse that Person that's doing the calling, Christ, no matter if you're Pentecostal, Methodist, Luther, whatever you are, you got to... Nothing against them, not at all, but in this age now you've got to accept like they did in that age the Person of Christ which is the Word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwell among us, the same yesterday, today, and for ever (John 1:1-5,14; Hebrews 13:8). See? You must accept that Person of Eternal Life (John 1:12-13).

Now, what Life Luther had, was justification. Wesley had sanctification, added to it. Pentecost had the restoration of the gifts coming back in it, added to it. But now it's completing in the body (You see?), the three phases of it, and out of that... Then when the resurrection comes, the Life that lived in them Lutherans, that's went out, the Life that lived in the Methodists and went out, the Life that went into Pentecostals, will all be raptured out of the ground in the Body of the Bride to be taken in before Jesus Christ (I Thess. 4:16-17). Glory to God. Oh, it's exciting. It's the truth.

We've turned a corner. We're looking towards heaven (Luke 21:28), watching for the coming of the cap on the pyramid, as we would say, His coming back. The church must be resurrected soon, and we must get ready (Rev. 20:5-6). [2]

We're not living in a Pentecostal age; we're living in another age. See? We're not living in a Methodist age; we're living in another age. We're living on up here to the Bride age, the calling out of the church and getting it together for the rapture. That's the age that we're now living. To my honest opinion that's exactly the truth.

And you can be ever so sincere, but until we know what we're doing, you're fighting at the air. Come back into the Word of God and get lined up, and then go; then you know. Like a soldier, don't know what to do until he gets orders to do it. We must be Christian soldiers and get orders from the Bible for this hour now; not the charge yesterday, the charge the day before, but the charge today which way we go. Find out the hour that we're living in (Acts 3:19-21; Luke 17:26-36; II Thess. 2:1-3; II Tim. 3:1-5).
And these modern events is slipping by us too swiftly, and one day we're going to find out we'll be left behind without nothing, and be caught, sealed into the mark of the beast before we know it (Rev. 13:16-18).

Now, and with patience we have to wait for this, for the prophecies that's promised, every one of them must be fulfilled in its age (Eph. 5:25-27; Rev. 10:8-11). For It foretells us, the Author has before done this, and we wait to see Him do it again. What a time it is that we're living in, something like a calendar; you look at the calendar to find out what day of the year you're living in, and you look at God's Bible to see what age we're living in (Rev. 3:14-21). We're not living in the Methodist age, the Baptist age. We're living in the Bride age, the calling, bringing back to God through a channel that He promised to bring it back in. He promised to do it (Rev. 10:7; Mal. 4:5-6 [3:23-24]; Matt. 17:11). [3]

Now, it's begin to pull away, the wheat's begin to be seen. This is not a Pentecostal age; this is the latter-day age, this is the Bride Age, this is the Evening Light (Zech. 14:6-7), this is when Malachi 4 must be fulfilled to follow God's pattern; this is Luke 17:30 to be fulfilled; this is the book of Jeremiah and all the rest of them, that Joel has spoke of these days (Joel 2:28-32). This is that day. "I have heard, Lord, that It was coming, but now I see It with my eye." (Job 42:1-6). [4]

Notice, living in a glare of Luther, living in a glare of Wesley, living in them glares back there, that's the reason they can't see true Light. If they would stop for a few minutes and just pick up the Bible and read It, they would see that this is Light promised for the hour (John 12:35-36).

Now, we're going to take some of these things in a minute. He promised according to Malachi 4:5-6 these things would happen. He promised all through the Scriptures they would happen.

Notice Israel also, our type, in the journey (Look.), eating manna which was their life, that give them strength, life. Is that right? Israel could not eat manna that was yesterday had fallen (Exod. 16). It was contaminated; it was rotten. It was no good for them; they'd die over it. The manna that kept them alive yesterday would kill them today. The Bible said it got germs in it, contaminated. They had to get new manna every day. Amen. And what is it? The people that live on manna of Luther, Wesley, and them back in there, you're eating contaminated stuff that's killing you spiritually. See? It's killing you dead in your traditions.

Yesterday's, Luther's manna would not work for Methodists. Methodist manna would not work for Pentecost. Pentecostal manna will not work for today. See what I mean? Every day it come day by day, fresh, and so has it to the church ages. Luther's manna was the message of justification. Wesley's message was the manifestation of sanctification; Pentecostal was the restoration of the gifts. But this is introducing the Headstone, the last day, the Bride Tree. It's contrary to all of it. And yet It's the same Light for the matured, like the same sun shine today (in December) will be ripening the grain for the harvest in July. See what I mean? But the Light today (in December) won't do any good back there in July. It's stronger; the wheat's more advanced. It's ready to take it. Amen. Certainly it is. It couldn't take it now. It can then. The season wasn't right then; it is now. [5]

Matthew 24:28, "For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together." Who is the carcass and who are the eagles? (Luke 17:36).

What is the carcass? The carcass is what the eagles feed on. Now, an eagle is considered in the Bible, a prophet. A prophet is the eagle. God calls Himself an eagle (Deut. 32:11-12), and we're "eaglets" then, the believers. You see? And what is the carcass that they feed on? Is the Word. Wherever the Word is, the true nature of the bird will show itself. See? An eagle, which wants fresh meat, he must have his fresh meat. He's not a buzzard; he's an eagle. You can't give no denominational stuff to him; he's got to have eagle's food; that's the freshest of the meat, not what Moses done, not what somebody else done, not what Sankey, Finney, Knox, Calvin, but right now, the Meat that's killed for this day. And that's the part of Christ that died to make this Word be confirmed. That's what they eat on. Get it?

Not what Noah done, what Moses done, they're examples; we see and read what they did, but it's what He promised to do now (Eph. 1:15-19). He was the Word back there; that was the Carcass for that day. The day of Wesley was a carcass for that day; the day of Luther was a carcass for that day; but they don't go back to that. That's already contaminated. What was left over must be burned, of the communion even; don't leave it for the next generation. The Bible said when you're taking the communion, what's left over of it, don't even let it lay till morning; burn it. So refer back to that? No, sir. We got fresh Food today; that's the Word that's promised to this hour be made manifest in this hour (I John 3:1-3; Matt. 25:6). That's where the eagles are, where the carcass is. We can stay a long time on that, but I'm sure you understand what I mean. [6]

Notice, it was the first corn of God’s wheat (Acts 26:22-23). And today, because He was the first Son of God to come to full maturity to be in God, He was plucked up from the earth and is waved over the people (Oh, what a glorious lesson.) by the Quickening power.

He was waved over the promised seed that had promise of Life; He was waved at the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-21), when there came a sound from heaven like a waving, mighty, rushing wind, and was waved over the people, the Pentecostal people that was up at Pentecost waiting for the blessing to come (Luke 24:48-53); and to be waved again, we realize, in the last day, according to Luke 17:30, in the S-o-n day again, in the days that the S-o-n of man will be revealed or waved again over the people.
And of all the teaching that we have and con¬firmation of the Word of God, by Word of God, by signs, by wonders, we see today, that that Word again is waved over the people, that the dead traditions of man is dead and the Son of God is alive again with the baptism of the Holy Spirit right among us and is giving us Life.

As Christ was the first One to raise from all the prophets and so forth (although typed in many places, He was the Firstfruits of those that slept), (I.Cor. 15:20-23; Acts 26:22-23), in the Bride coming of Christ, coming out of the church, there'll have to be a Sheaf waved again in the last days. Oh, my.

Waving of the sheaf, what was the sheaf? The first one that come to mature (Lev. 23:9-14), the first one that proved it was a wheat that proved it was a sheaf. Hallelujah. I'm sure you see what I'm talking about. It was waved over the people, and the first time there will come forth for the Bride age, for a resurrection out of dark denominationalism, will be a Message that the full matu¬rity of the Word has turned back again in Its full power and being waved over the people by the same signs and wonders that He did back there.

"Because I live, ye live also," speaking to His Wife. "Because I live, ye live also." (John 14:18-20). What a resurrection that that was. And what a resurrection this is: to be quickened from the dead, to be made alive in Christ Jesus by God's Quickening Power (Eph. 2:1-7).

He was waved to them; the Word, which He was, was waved back to them on the day of Pentecost, the Word made manifest. And as I say, He's to be waved again in the last day. [7]

There´s coming one with a Message that´s straight on the Bible, and quick work will circle the earth. The seeds will go in newspapers, reading material, until every predestinated Seed of God has heard It.
