Capstone Revelation
Spiritual Building-Stone No. 176
I Peter 2:1-10, “To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious...”
"Hear, Oh, Israel the Lord thy God is ONE God." (Deut. 6:4). There it is again, the Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New. The New Testament does not reveal another God, it is a further revelation of the one and same God. Christ did not come down to make Himself known. He did not come to reveal the Son. He came to reveal and make known the Father. He never talked about two Gods; He talked about ONE God. And now in this last age, we have come back to the capstone revelation, the most important revelation of Godhead in the whole Bible, that is, Jesus is God, He and the Father are one: There is one God, and His Name is the LORD JESUS CHRIST (Acts 2:36; I John 5:7; John 5:43). [1]
These virtues (II Peter 1:3-11) has to be in there before the capstone will even come on it. Oh, you might shout, you might sing, you might speak with tongues, and dance--that has nothing at all to do with it, until these things Scripturally proven is sealed into you... The Holy Spirit seals you in as an individual. Then you're a son and daughter. [2]
First: foundationally, is faith. Second: add to your faith, virtue; to your virtue, knowledge; from knowledge, temperance; from temperance, patience; to patience, godliness; and from godliness, brotherly love, brotherly kindness; and then love being the capstone: seven of those things.
And now, as in the individuals, these virtues and things are (knowledge and temperance)--is added to our faith, then when the Capstone comes, the Holy Spirit cements it together; there's the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. That's why it's so short today.
Now, when the member is born by the Holy Ghost into the family of God and has proven to have these virtues in him, that God can see virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, and godliness in him, then God seals him or places him. And there, that's when you see the sons and daughters of God. [3]
I pledge to Him with all my heart that by His help and by His grace, I pray that I'll seek daily without ceasing until I feel everyone of these requirements flowing in this little old statue of mine. Till I can be a manifestation of the living Christ, for He became sin like me, that I might become righteousness of God like Him (II Cor. 5:21). He took my place. Lord, let me take His now, because that's the purpose He died for.
Now, in building this monument, building this statue, it starts off and the foundation that's on faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness. Now, what's it do? Then they're waiting for the Headstone which is love; [4] and anyone knows that love is God. [3] God is love (I John 4:16) and He controls, and He is the Strength of every one of these things. Yes, sir. Right in here. Right in here. See, I got in between all these works in here, and here there's little waves coming. What is that? The Holy Ghost coming down through Christ, Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is above all this, welding this together, building a what? A perfect church for the capstone to cap it off. What's it been done again? It's manifested through seven church ages and seven church messengers. [4]
Let me say something too. This uniting time--you see churches uniting nations uniting... It's a uniting time of God and His Bride too. And I say this with reverence and respect. I believe that the Bride of Christ is called; I believe She's sealed in the Kingdom of God. I believe the mechanics is there. They're waiting for the Dynamics, that'll take Her off the earth into glory in the rapture. I believe it with all my heart. Yes, sir. We don't know how He's going to do it, but He's going to do it. He is the Dynamics. We just become members of the machine of His Body, forming ourself into His Image, and see Him uniting Himself with us in His works, with His love gifts, as He hands them to us just before the wedding supper. And we're waiting, watching for that.
Their big church is to be united. The Dynamics of this church will be a refilling of the Holy Spirit, that we have worked in a small measure while the Headstone is coming down to unite with the Body. But when that Head and Body unites together the full power of the Holy Ghost would raise Her up just exactly like... Even the dead, that's dead in Christ for hundreds of years ago, will rise in the beauty of His holiness and take a flight through the skies (I Cor. 15:51-54). The Dynamics is the Holy Spirit.
And now, the dynamics of this great regime that they got built... This big machine will work someday in the uniting council of the World Council of Churches, which will make a forcing to... (Rev. 13:16-18). But remember... You say, "When that happens..." It's going to be too late then for you. You're already in it. Whether you want to be or not, you're already there. See? Notice, you've already got that spirit upon you... [5]
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.
When a man in a foundry is making a bell, he's got a certain tone he has to put in it. When he's setting his mold and pouring his iron, he puts in so much brass, so much steel, so much copper. Why? He knows just exactly how much to put in give it the right tone. And that's what Jesus has done by His Bride. He had to put so much Luther, so much Methodist, and so much Presbyterian, so much Pentecost in it, but what does He come out with? His own reflection. Why is it? Just like the pyramid message. You see, it's heaping right up till it's coming to the minority for the Headstone. The ministry of Jesus Christ on earth has to be the same as the ministry He had, or He can't come to it. It's like the head to the feet. The feet's not the head, but the head packs the feet, or makes the feet, tells it where to go. You get it? Beautifully, it's the Light of the hour. [6]
Yes, become a part of the Word, a part of the Word of today. You can't be a part of the word of Moses' day. That part's done made up; that was the feet. We're at the head now. This is Christ. Not the arms' time back in Luther; no, this is the Head time. Christ, the Headstone, comes to the Body…. the Headstone coming into the Body to redeem that's redeemed, coming to take His Own. He's here with us. [7]
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 (I Thess. 4:16-17) to be taken in before Jesus Christ. 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). [8]
Why wasn't the capstone put on it, the headstone, the top of it? [10] Because the Capstone was rejected; Christ, the Headstone, was rejected. [9] He was rejected when He come. He was the rejected Stone (I Peter 2:7-8). That's right. But it will be capped. That's right. And then those stones that fit around that headstone, will have to be stones that'll be so completely like that stone, that'll fit it joint and everywhere. The pyramid is so perfect you can't run a razor blade between them, where them stones go together, such beautiful masonry. Some of them would weigh hundreds of tons up in the air, and so perfectly set together. [10]
Each stone, as it comes up to the end, had to be cut just in order for the headstone. Now, the Church coming up from Luther, Wesley, Pentecost, it'll have to get into shape till the Headstone Christ Jesus and the Church will set together (Hallelujah.) to cap the whole Church together for the resurrection of every mortal that died believing on His Name. Amen.
I believe that we are here today, that Jesus Christ still remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do you believe it? [11]
The Bride… (is) like the pyramid, how it comes in minority all the time, from the great wide, from Luther, Wesley, Pentecost. And then the capstone in the top of it is so honed; and each one of those stones are so perfectly put together (and we don't know yet how they did it); but it's so perfectly put together in that pyramid. And we're not pyramid teaching now, we're just... Enoch and them built it years ago, and it stands for a symbol.
Go into the prophet's chamber and watch them seven steps. Where did the guard meet the challenge to bring the comer into the presence of the king at the top of the steps? Was in the seventh step. There shows that we've got to come again with that same Spirit that was on John; he introduced the Messiah. He was greater than all the prophets; he introduced it (St. Luke 7:24-28).
And we've got to come to a place again, to something that's going to introduce the Messiah. And how will the people that's believing Him know it, unless they're constantly in the Word to know what He is. Daniel said the wise shall know, but the foolish, the unwise, wouldn't know. They shall know their God (Daniel 12:9-10).
Now, now, how He said It'll appear in the last days is to bring the people back to the Word, so that the Bride will know Her Husband, know Her Mate, the revealed Word. That's why this has to happen. [12]
Enoch, before the antediluvian destruction, when justification was coming in, he brought forth a sign (in Egypt) (Isaiah 19:19-20a). And in this pyramid are seven steps going to the king's chamber. Watch, on the seventh step (if you ever studied the dimensions of the pyramid) what comes out to take the oncomer to introduce to the king. Watch, whose station that is standing there, and you'll see the day you're living (in the pyramid). [7]
And the pyramid being in those foundations, up into the king's chamber. And just before you hit the seventh wall, there's a little introduction plank there, where a messenger comes out to bring you to the king. (The messenger John the Baptist that introduced to the King...) But the Headstone was rejected. And they don't know, the Stone of Scone, or whatever it is, they don't know where it's at, because it's a rejected stone. But that's the stone that caps the whole thing, that makes it the pyramid through the complete seven church ages. Add grace, add this, add this, there's seven adds, the last one is Christ. Add this to your charity, add grace to your grace, add something else (II Pet. 1:5-7), and something else, till it gets up to Christ is the Headstone, "I am the Door." (John 10:9). [13]
Once again: In this pyramid was seven steps and then the king's chamber. And we're in the seventh church age before the King takes His throne. And remember, the pyramid never did have a capstone on it. [7]
God wrote three Bibles. One of them was the Zodiac in the skies. That’s the first Bible. Man was to look up to realize that God is from above. Follow the Zodiac; did you ever study it? It even gives every age, even the cancer age. It gives the beginning – the birth of Christ. What is the first figure in the Zodiac? The virgin. What’s the last figure? Leo the lion. The first coming and the second coming of Christ, all of it is written in there.
Then the next Bible was written, was in stone, called pyramid. God wrote in the pyramids. If you study them, watch the ancient histories and wars, how they were built before the antediluvian destruction.
The third was wrote on paper, the Bible, for the great, smart intellectual world to come. Now, as God has moved down through the age, we’re at Leo the lion. We’re at the capping of the pyramid. We’re in the Book of the Revelations at the last chapter. Science says we’re three minutes before midnight. Oh, think of where we’re at. [10]
The Lutherans, under justification, the feet, raised it like that; Wesley, under sanctification. The Pentecostals under the arms, the works and deeds and so forth, had to be Calvinists... or had to be Arminian, had to be legalists. But now we come to the head, the capstone. "Grace. Grace." the capstone cried (Zechariah 4:6-7).
The headstone crying what? "Grace. Grace." Passed from death and creed into a living Word of the living God. God's only provided plan for His age, His sons in the Word age quickened by the Spirit like a spark that's lit off of something to make it alive; and seated now in heavenly places in present tense (Eph. 2:4-6), already alive and subject to every promise in the Word. Then what does that do? You being a part of God's gene, a part of the Word, other men a part of God's Word, seated together, manifest the entire Body of Christ, because there's no leaven among you (I Cor. 5:6-8). No leaven among you, just the Word only, seated in heavenly places in the door where He put His Name: Christ Jesus. [13]
Now, the coming of the Lord Jesus is so imminent, the coming of judgment, He's calling His elected together in oneness with Himself, with the same kind of a ministry He had. You know how I shaped in the church ages here not long ago, about the big tower that was built, called the pyramid, but the headstone was never put on it. Remember how the Lutherans came, then the Wesleys in the minority, and then down to Pentecost. And now what He's doing, calling from that. What did He do? He called out the elect to make the Lutheran; He called out the elect out of the Lutheran to make the Wesleyan; He called out the elect out of that to make the Pentecostals; now He's calling the elect Pentecostals out to make the headstone to come into it, the very same kind of a ministry dropping right in on it, calling His children from all denominations and all walks of life. [14]
Now, God's taking from there, honing out a bunch to make a ministry just exactly like that Word there, because it's got to fit with the Word. There's the Bride; take Her up.
All right. Now, here is what I'm trying to say to you: The law of reproduction brings forth of its kind (Genesis 1:11). These last days, true church Bride comes to the Headstone, will be the super church, a super race. As they near the great Headstone they will be so much like Him, even they will be in His very image in the order to be united with Him. They will be One. They will be the very manifestation of the Word of the living God. Denominations can never produce this. They will produce their creeds and dogmas mixed with the Word and brings a hybrid product. [15]
Then as she nears her Headstone, becoming like Him through the Word, Jesus will come that the bride and Groom may be forever united as one. [1]
