1 September 2017 THE ELECT LADY, AND HER ROYAL ROBE - PART 2 Amos Olusegun Omoboriowo This message was preached by Brother Amos, on the afternoon of Sunday, 26th February, 2017, at Bible Faith Tabernacle, Lagos, Nigeria, and was one of three messages preached that day, to allow this message to go into the Scribe. It is the second part of what can be described as a marvellous and rich unveiling of God's most glorious plan for the Bride. What a privilege it is to be called and chosen as Bride at this end time. Good afternoon everyone, and may God bless you all. Please open with me to the heavenly setting recorded in Revelation Chapter 19, and we will take it from verse 7, which reads: Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him (who is God): for the marriage of the Lamb is come, (it has now come), and his wife HATH, (Past tense), MADE HERSELF READY. (And where exactly did she make herself ready? On earth!) Verse 8: And to her was granted (given) that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Shall we bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed). Brothers and sisters, last Sunday, we took a message which I still want us to take a further look at. I am not repreaching it, but I want to retouch it, strictly in relation to the Bible text we just took, for that is precisely what I want to zero in on, and polish up, because it is a beautiful prophetic verse of Scripture. In one of the messages laid out in Ref. No.:

2 Page 2 September 2017 the Scribe, titled, Rapturing Faith, we said that this verse of Scripture, Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8, which states, And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints, gives us nothing other than the quickening power. It is not even what gives us the rapturing faith; it is what gives us the quickening power. Because from the time the Seven Thunders are here, rapturing faith would have descended; rapturing faith would already be here. When the Seven Thunders come, we will have rapturing faith, and God will be doing astounding and phenomenal things on this earth, things that will mesmerise this hi-tech scientific world of unbelievers, people who do not believe that there is a God, and who have no care for their Maker. Because it is to the dimension of their scientific wizardry, is the dimension that God will magnify His awesome majesty, power, and dominion, to show that He is God, and that His Word is true! So, in essence, speaking of the dynamism of God, the manifestation of his awesome glory and power, the world has never seen God move. So, in that day, with the Seven Thunders on ground, rapturing faith will be here, because in their hour of time, the Latter Rain will enter its climax, its most glorious phase. Brethren, let me make an important observation at this point, although it is a little digression; but I find it most needful to lay it out. You know that sometimes in preaching, we say things that constitute slips of tongue, and I hope you all understand that. And more particularly because I preach very quickly, I sometimes make statements I should not make, innocent missstatements, and when I listen to my message, I say to myself, Oh my goodness! Lord have mercy on my soul. How could I have said that?! In our message on dvd, titled, The Fan, And The Ending Ministry, we went into the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Corinthians, where he said that it is better for young unmarried sisters to remain single, and I said, You see, he was encouraging celibacy. I should have added the words, it seemed, or that it looked like he was encouraging celibacy. So, when I was listening to it, I said, Oh my goodness. Lord have mercy on my soul. How could I have said that? But you see, we say such things because we are men. We make a lot of slips of tongue, and innocent miss-statements, because we are mortals. There are a few words missing in my presentation, the words seemed like, or looked like. And sometimes we can say something in our head, and not say it out in reality. Since it is oracular preaching, and we are following an inspiration, we do make a lot of mistakes, innocent mistakes, and every preacher does it, as none of us are perfect men. That is why I often say, that if you want to crucify me, crucify me on the Scribe messages; do not crucify me on the tapes, because I make a lot of slips of tongue and innocent missstatements, just as every preacher does! I took a message at Faith Assembly one day, where I was talking about Matthew Chapter 24, verse 15, When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:), and I was referring to Antiochus Epiphanes, who is only a proto-type of the Antichrist that is to come. But in that

3 September 2017 Convention at Faith Assembly, I was using the word Antichrist for him, instead of saying he was a type, a proto-type. So, when I later listened to that message, I felt very troubled. I said to myself, How could I have said this, when I know that Antiochus is not the Antichrist, but only a proto-type. So, when I saw Brother Jackson, I said to him, Brother Jackson, you will not believe it, but I was just listening to the tape of the message I preached, and I was using the term Antichrist for Antiochus Epiphanes, instead of adding the word Antichrist's prototype. I added, I did not mean to say that. I do not know why I kept saying that. He simply told me with a smile, admitting, We all do that, and that lifted my burden, because the devil was sitting on my shoulder. Since then, I have come across many innocent mistakes, innocent miss-statements, in the Contender Magazine, as well as in the Sermon Books of Brother Branham, for truly, every preacher does it. We all make slips of tongue and innocent misstatements. But if you know where a man is standing, and what he is standing for, what he has been teaching concerning that subject, such misstatements and slips of tongue will not stumble or worry you. It is called spiritual understanding, and we need to have it, in following the light of Christ. I said to Brother Enoch one day: If all the sermons of Apostle Paul were recorded, where he laid out every thought that he projected in the Holy Scriptures, we will find a lot of mistakes, innocent miss-statements, and slips of tongue, for it is the lot of all mortal men! The portion of Saint Paul's messages that were written, is what forms the infallible and immutable Word of God, for that is what is God breathed! Period! I say that because as the Elect Bride of Jesus Christ, people bearing a very rich and deep divine wisdom of the Holy Scriptures, I expect you to have understanding, particularly since it is an issue that I have laid out many times before you, letting you know without any iota of doubt, that Apostle Paul did not promote celibacy above marriage, although it seemed like he did; but he did not. Consequently, if I now talk about celibacy, and it looks like I am saying that Apostle Paul established it, knowing my stand on the issue, you Page 3 should know exactly what I mean, or what I mean to say, as that is all just a slip of tongue, or an innocent miss-statement. That is why I often say, if you want to know what my true stand on an issue is, say for instance, on the issue of celibacy, then check the Scribes; and if we do not yet have any such message in the Scribe, then take the message that I preached on Marriage And Divorce, as that is what deals specifically and comprehensively, with such issues. That is that. Coming back to the point I was making about Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8, I said that in our Scribe message titled, Rapturing Faith, we have already zeroed in on this very verse of Scripture, and we said that what it gives to us is the quickening power. That is precisely what it gives us, and last Sunday, we re-affirmed this truth. Brothers and sisters, right here on the extreme right side of the chart, is a heavenly setting, (Brother Amos points to the chart), where the marriage takes place, for that is where Jesus Christ is going to marry his Bride, the Elect Lady, who is the Word Bride. However, before she can go up to heaven to be

4 Page 4 September 2017 married to him, she first has to make herself ready for it, right here on earth, just as the preceding picture on our chart shows. That is precisely why, Jesus Christ, who is currently in heaven, is revealing himself to her by his Spirit, on an unparalleled level, from the pages of the Holy Bible, giving her the things that she needs for the adornment of her soul, precious and invaluable things befitting of his princess, in order to have her as a Ready Bride. But when the Seventh Seal is broken in heaven, and the Lord ignites the ministry of the Seven Thunders, rapturing faith will be released upon the Elect Lady, the Royal Bride, right here in this Last Junction of time, in this Laodicean Church Age. Going back to the Old Testament established type, rapturing faith was already on ground, before Elijah was translated (raptured). Elijah already had rapturing faith, ever before the chariot of fire descended to catch him away. That was why he told Elisha on the other side of Jordan: Now ask me anything you want, before I am taken away from you. He said that, because he already had the faith to be raptured! In 2 Kings Chapter 2, verses 9-12, it is written: And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, BEFORE I BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THEE. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy Spirit be upon me. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. Oh, my! Saints, Elijah knew exactly what to tell Elisha, of what it would take for his request to be granted. He said, What you request is hard, it is difficult; but IF YOU SEE ME GO Because Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's anointing, when the Anointing of Elijah itself is a Major Anointing! That was and is a Major Anointing, and yet, Elisha wanted a double portion of it! So, Elijah told him, If you see me go, you will have it. This written record, lets us see that Elijah knew undoubtedly that he would be translated, he knew precisely where he would be translated, and he also knew exactly when he would be translated, for he knew everything that was material to his translation! Therefore, do not tell me that he did not have rapturing faith, for he certainly had it before he was raptured (translated)! Rapturing faith was what moved him from Gilgal to Bethel, as well as to the other side of Jordan, the divinely ordained geographical spot for the translation! Similarly, before we are translated, we would have already possessed rapturing faith. Therefore, what we are given, and what drops down in Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8, is nothing but the quickening power, and that is precisely what I want to open up this morning, and lay flat out, leaving no stone unturned, and leaving no questions unanswered, the Lord being my helper. So, please pay attention, for we are making a serious point. God helping me, I want to seal up this issue, and

5 September 2017 settle it once and for all. It is scripturally settled, and indisputable, that the marriage proper is ordained to take place up there in heaven, and Revelation Chapter 19, verses 7-8, gives us the setting, just as we have it laid out on the chart. (Brother Amos points to the chart). The marriage has now come, and the Word Bride has been translated into heaven for it, and the holy angels of God are standing guard, ushering in the Elect Bride. And right here is Christ the Messiah, who presently, is our Bridegroom, beckoning joyously to his Bride. He has already met us midway in the sky, and now we are in heaven, and the marriage is taking place. However, saints, before this event can happen, the Elect Bride must make herself READY, fully clothed, fully adorned in her soul, with the royal robe, made up of an extremely rich divine revelation of the Master. And that is something the organised religious world have no clue about. They can live holy all they want, although the majority of them live carnally; but they will not be in the rapture, nonetheless, because they have no clue to anything! Brothers and sisters, there is a spiritual image, a revelational stature that the Elect Bride must attain, in order to be acceptable, in order to be ready, and that place of readiness, is right here on earth, not in heaven, but here on earth. It is just as it is written of Enoch, the Seventh from Adam, a man who was also translated in that day, and whose translation, speaks of that of the Bride of Jesus Christ, in this Seventh Church Age, as Hebrews Chapter 11, verse 5, records: By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for B E F O R E H I S TRANSLATION he had this testimony (ON EARTH), THAT HE PLEASED GOD. In other words, ENOCH MADE HIMSELF READY, in a perfect type of the Bride of Christ. She has to get ready on earth, by receiving from Jesus Christ her Bridegroom, the pure, wholesome, and undiluted Wheat Meal, that is, she must receive every revelation of the Word of God that he unveils to her by his Spirit, in a closely knitted intimate relationship, till she is fully clothed in her soul, measuring up to the spiritual image standard Page 5 that God has set for her. That is the picture conveyed by the third photo on our chart, where we have the Ready Bride! I will remind you of the infallible standard laid out in Ephesians Chapter 5, even as verses provides: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, That he might present it to himself A GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. This is the divine standard of readiness, the infallible standard she must attain in order to be truly ready. Therefore, stay with this standard for the True Bride, for anything else is deception, and hence, it is one that will produce a counterfeit bride! Brothers and sisters, when she has now become ready, in the light of the Word of God ordained for her readiness, then, and only then, will she be granted something most glorious and totally divine, in Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8! Yes, verse 7 opens with a heavenly setting, for there, we suddenly see her in heaven, for John did not

6 Page 6 September 2017 see when she went up; he did not see her go up, but nevertheless, he saw her in heaven. And we are told in verse 7, that she got up there, because she had made herself ready whilst she was still on earth. So, it is most important to certify scripturally, precisely what her readiness is about. That is why we went into Ephesians Chapter 5, for verse 27 lets us know undoubtedly, that Jesus Christ will present the Elect Bride to himself A GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish, having been thoroughly washed with the washing of water by the revealed Word of the living God. Consequently, her readiness is in a divine revelation, because there is a spiritual image we must conform to. And for the accomplishment of this washing; for the accomplishment of the spiritual readiness of the Elect Lady, the Bride of Christ, is precisely why the Lord Jesus divests himself of all his ministerial attributes for salvation, and invests them in men. Look at Ephesians Chapter 4, which speaks about the Fivefold Ministry, the Original Pure Seed Ministry; not ministries that people give themselves today, merely giving themselves titles and offices, having no clue about anything that the office demands, or what it is about. Forget that! Ephesians Chapter 4, beginning from verse 11, records: And he (Jesus Christ), gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; and some, Evangelists; and some, Pastors and (some), Teachers; For what purpose? FOR THE PERFECTING of the saints, (bringing us to the point of Spiritual Maturity), for the work of THE MINISTRY (of Jesus Christ, as the Ministry of Christ is one, having the same Spirit, the same revelation, as well as the same divine objective), for the edifying (building up) of the body of Christ (Universal). Verse 13 is where I am going, but it says from verse 12, that the True and Original Fivefold Ministry, is divinely ordained for the edifying of the body of Christ: TILL WE ALL (in the Universal Elect Body), COME IN THE UNITY OF THE FAITH (Please note that this is not where the Unity of the Faith ends, for Apostle Paul also adds): AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD, (which means that we will not only attain Unity of the Faith, but we will also attain Unity in our divine knowledge of the Son of God, in that very intimate knowledge), UNTO A PERFECT MAN, UNTO THE MEASURE, (the revelatory height), OF THE STATURE OF THE FULNESS OF CHRIST. So, herein lies the standard, our standard, the absolute standard for the Elect Bride, and it is a revelatory standard, conveying to the Bride, everything that is to be known about Jesus Christ, whether big and small, simple and complex, plain and deep, that we may grow into the spiritual image of Jesus Christ, having everything of Christ, as a universal body, attaining that stature of the perfect man! This is the revelational depth that the True Elect Bride must and will have, IF she is to conform to the Bridegroom's spiritual image! How many see the point? This being the case, common sense will tell you, therefore, that God has to open up the fountain of divine scriptural revelation, and He has indeed opened it up for us at this end time, for a masterful washing of the Elect Bride, by the Word of God, to bring her to a

7 September 2017 most glorious and spotless spiritual state, just as it is written! That is why in Ephesians Chapter 3, Apostle Paul prayed earnestly in verses 16-19: That He (God) would grant you (the Elect Bride Seeds), according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit IN THE INNER MAN, (because as we speak this day, it is the Inner Man that has been redeemed, our Spirit Man, and we are all still living in a very weak Physical Body, one that is yet to be redeemed, called the Outer Man); That Christ may dwell in your hearts BY FAITH; that ye, being rooted and grounded in Love (Divine), May be able to comprehend with ALL saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT (OF CHRIST); And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God, (that was poured into Jesus Christ, which he, in turn, poured into the Church, that we, as a collective Universal Elect Body, might become the complete embodiment of the Spirit of Jesus Christ). Amen! Can you see the picture? Now watch what verse 18 states, as we retake it, Saint Paul praying, that we May be able to comprehend with all saints what is THE breadth, AND length, AND depth, AND height, which four dimensions of Jesus Christ gives us nothing but perfection and completion, as it enables us to know ALL there is to be known of him! IT IS SIMPLY KNOWING HIM P E R F E C T L Y, INTIMATELY, BEARING A C O M P L E T E REVELATIONAL KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, KNOWING JESUS CHRIST IN HIS REVELATIONAL FULLNESS! That is the prayer focus of Apostle Paul, and may I add, that it is in the Elect Lady, the True Bride of Christ, that this prayer will be realised. The issue, however, is this: Just how can the Bride of Christ attain this perfect and complete revelational stature of Jesus Christ our Bridegroom, without knowing him very intimately? That is the issue! Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have to realise, that when it is all said and done, there is no scriptural mystery of Christ, or any scriptural prophetic revelation, or even scriptural doctrine, that is ordained for the spiritual growth of the Elect Lady, Page 7 the Bride of Jesus Christ, that will not be unveiled to her by the Spirit of the Lord, that she may measure up to the divine standard, bearing a complete revelation of Jesus Christ, as this is what makes up her robe, her royal robe! Absolutely! Her robe is made up of Fine Linen Threads of the revealed truths of Jesus Christ, woven from revelation to revelation, for it is from Faith to Faith, as given by the Spirit of Christ. Period! So, this should let you see, that getting ready for the rapture, is much more than just living holy: Not stealing, Not telling lies; even though all those things are good, and are to be expected, as holy living makes up an essential part of the divine requirements. Therefore, it is good not to do those things; however, you may not do those things, and still miss the rapture, and end up in hell, simply because you have no clue to the revelatory standard of Jesus Christ! Exactly! You will still not make it, simply because you have no clue to the divine requirements, Not only of the Unity of the faith, AND Perfection, which is Spiritual Maturity, that is to be obtained in the Universal Body of Christ, but also of the Unity in the

8 Page 8 September 2017 knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure, (to the extent; to the spiritual height) of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Because there is a revelatory fullness that Christ has, which we must attain, for it is what gives us revelatory completion! It is scripturally certain, therefore, that if you do not follow Jesus Christ in his progressive scriptural revelation, you just will not make it as his Bride, for you will be totally ignorant of his divine revelation! Full stop! In 96 AD., Jesus Christ gave his prophetic revelation, and he put a curse at the end of that Book, upon all those that will add or take away from its provisions. You take away by not allowing it to apply, and you do not allow it to apply, because you do not have a clue about it. So, you do not touch it, and you do not preach it, and you do not teach it, and as such, you make it of none effect. And when you do that, what have you done? You have taken away from this prophetic Book, for it is an implicit or an indirect taking away, as its prophetic revelation becomes inapplicable thereby! In another way, you also take away by denying what it says, or by twisting what it says. To such characters, Jesus Christ our Lord gave a guarantee, that they will definitely end up in the Lake of Fire, unless they repent, for it is thus saith the Lord Jesus Christ in Revelation Chapter 22, verses 18-19! So, how can you say that you are following the Lord Jesus, and you are blind to his prophetic revelation? You say he saved you, and that you know him, and that you are following him, yet, you are totally blind to his prophetic revelation! Someone has been seriously deceived! For I have to ask you: Then, who saved you? Who saved you that you do not know your Saviour?! Because he is not here in his body of flesh for anyone to hold on to him, and say, I love you I love you you are my Bridegroom. Your possession of his divine revelation, is what proves that Christ is relating with you, and when you are devoid of it, we know that the Lord is not dealing with you by his Spirit, for you have been bypassed. Period! You can make any profession of faith you want to, and testify all you want, declaring: Jesus is my darling, and he deals with me intimately God is my Popsie They are even humanising God now, but brothers and sisters, you cannot humanize God, for He is not flesh and blood. Forget all that nonsense, for Gentiles are a foolish people! That is why some of these Pentecostals even speak in tongues to their dogs, their pets! The bottom-line remains, however, that if you are shut out of the consistent and continuous flow of the divine scriptural revelation of Jesus Christ, it is clear evidence that you are not part of his Bride: You are only making noise, empty noise! Full stop! Brothers and sisters, I am making a point, a serious point, and it is that, there is a revelatory standard of Jesus Christ that we must attain, apart from the standard of the image of his character, which the Universal Body of Christ will also attain. However, it is by having the revelational standard of Jesus Christ, that we can equally be transformed into the full image of his character. In 2 Corinthians Chapter 3, the Bible says from verse 17: Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Verse 18 is where I am going, and it states: But we ALL (in the Body of Christ), with open face,

9 September 2017 (which means, with an unveiled face; without any covering cast; without any scales covering our eyes, or without any veil covering our minds. Our eyes having been anointed by the Spirit of truth; our spiritual eyes having been opened up by the Spirit of truth, the Spirit of revelation), beholding as in A GLASS What glass? The glass of the Word! Halleluiah! It is like you are looking into a glass, a mirror. The Word of God is a divine mirror, and when you look into it, you will see Jesus Christ unveiled therein; it is what gives us the divine revelation of our Bridegroom, even as that verse says: 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. In other words, it is wrought or accomplished by the Spirit of the Lord, in a progressive dealing of God, for it is from glory to glory. As Brother Jackson used to say, being changed from glory to glory does not mean from shining light to shining light ; it just means from revelation to revelation, because the revelation of the Lord comes in folds, being progressively given, and hence, it is continuous, and as we receive these truths as they are being unveiled, we are thereby being transformed. So, brothers and sisters, one thing stands clear and undebatable: The revelational image of Jesus is the standard for the Elect Lady, the True Bride of Christ, and we can only get this image in the mirror of the Holy Scriptures. Therefore, when you allow Jesus Christ to continuously reveal himself to you in his Word, by looking consistently and continuously into the mirror of the law of liberty, which is the truth, in order to see the full glory of Jesus in his divine revelation, as he is revealing himself progressively, and you follow him in that progressive light, he changes your life automatically, from revelation to revelation. It is a consistent and continuous dealing, and by the time it is all done, by the time it is all over, the Bride Universal would have attained the spiritual height of the image of Jesus Christ, and we will know everything of Christ that is to be known. Period! So, I ask you: Just how are you going to make it in the rapture as his Bride, when you are totally devoid of his Page 9 revelation, and yet, there is a stature of the knowledge of the Son of God that we are to have?! Think about that! Fresh Nuggets and Nuggets of truths are being unveiled for the Elect Bride, from the pages of the Holy Bible, and you are totally blind to it, because you are completely shut out from the precious truths of the Word, and yet, you hope to be in the rapture! My! And here came 96 AD., when Jesus gave his prophetic revelation, which Brother Jackson says is Christ's love letter to his Bride, and the religious world is totally blind to it. That Book was not even written for the First Church Age saints; but it had to be written in that First Age, that it may be carried through time, as part of the Holy Bible, the Holy Scriptures, for the End-Time Bride, the Bride of this Seventh and Final Age, to whom it pertained, and for whom it was ordained. Because it is for our spiritual adorning; it is reserved for our glory! So, I ask again: How can you be the Bride of Christ, and be blind to the prophetic insight that Jesus Christ has given?! And yet, it was sent for his Elect Bride of this End Time! Somebody has been deceived! Somebody has been left

10 Page 10 September 2017 behind! Somebody has been playing Church, and merely paying Tithes and Offering, and building all kinds of physical structures that will be destroyed on the Day of the Lord, for all of those structures are going nowhere! That is why they have buildings all over the universe, but no truth! That is all they know to do, for they all know is only how to build, and they are going nowhere with it, because Jesus is not coming back for any of those things! He is coming back just to take his Elect Bride. Halleluiah! He is not coming for all those big monstrous looking church structures, all those cathedrals, with their stained glass and pipe organs. Forget it! They can have all the structures they want to; he is not coming for that! That is why we are not fighting for land: We fight for Truth, revealed Truth! They took our land in Gbagada, and they built on it, for it is now developed. Did we fight for it? No! Why not? Because God did not send us to fight for land; He sent us to stand in defence of His Word, which is the Truth! God knows this place is too small for us, and in His time, He will make a way, for He makes things beautiful in His time. But we cannot deny, brothers and sisters, that the Lord has given us something, something marvellous and most precious. (Brother Amos bursts out singing): There is a river, it flows from deep within; There is a fountain, it frees the soul from sin; Come to this water, there is a vast supply; There is a river, and it never shall run dry. Halleluiah! That is what we have, for it is not money; it is the unending flow of the divine revelation of Jesus Christ of the Holy Scriptures! That is what we trade in here, for we do not trade in money; we do not trade in business; we trade solely in things of eternal value, which comes by the revelation of Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible! And you know Church, that there is nothing a son or daughter of God invests in the Lord, that he loses. Nothing can be lost! Even though it looks like a waste of money, it is not wasted, for in the service of God, nothing is wasted! Brothers and sisters, it is all on God's account, and He never forgets, for there is a payday coming, a day when we will receive eternal dividends for all that we have invested in our Master, the Royal Prince! (Brother Amos sings again): Jesus never fails! Jesus never fails! Heaven and earth shall pass away, But Jesus never fails! Your brother may let you down, your sister may let you down Your parents may let you down, But Jesus never fails! Jesus never fails! Jesus never fails! Heaven and earth shall pass away, But Jesus never fails! There is nobody that invests in the Lord that will lose the slightest investment! If you sow in the light, and you are faithful in the light, you will see the glory of God! Nothing in God's service is ever lost! Forget it! It will be rebounded back to you over a million-fold! So, do not think that the Gbagada investment is wasted. Nothing is wasted in God's plan; in God's economy, nothing is a waste! Every seed will yield a bumper harvest, because there is no sowing to the Master that is a waste! Forget it! That is our comfort; that is

11 September 2017 why we are fighting for the kingdom. Our sister, Sister Ifeoma Nwaeze, laboured greatly over our land, being a Legal Practitioner, a Lawyer, as we could only follow the legal avenue that was open to us; and when the legal means failed, we removed our hands, and simply left everything to God. Are we not at rest? We are at rest, for we have found a secure resting place! Where? In Beulah land! For the land of the Holy Bible is Beulah land, and it is a place of rest! (Brother Amos sings again): Come and go with me, to my Father's house, To my Father's house, to my Father's house. Come and go with me, to my Father's house, Where there's peace, peace, peace. Brothers and sisters, let us continue our message. We are making a point, that there is a revelational height, as well as the character stature of Jesus Christ, that the Elect Bride must and will attain. However, the truth remains, that she will never attain the standard of the character image of Christ, without his revelation, because as provided in 2 Corinthians Chapter 3, verse 18, it is by looking squarely into the mirror of his divine revelation; it is by looking into this divine glass, that we are changed into his divine image, from revelation to revelation, by the Spirit of God, for it is not an instantaneous work! It is from faith to faith, revelation to revelation, as the Master progressively and continuously unveils himself to us, from the pages of the Word of God, and the power of God quickens it to us, thereby continuously transforming our lives. That is why we do not need to preach every day, screaming our heads off, saying, Do not do this, and do not do that, to a true child of God, in order to get them to live right. As he is reading the revelation of the Word of God, his mind is on fire by the divine stimulation which the fresh light of Jesus Christ gives, and it causes this world to lose its appeal. Brothers and sisters, all the carnal things of our lives will be broken off automatically, little by little. Why? Because there is a fire of revealed faith burning deeply and seriously in our hearts, creating a great and earnest desire to live for God, an overwhelming inner desire to want to please God, for there is a great stimulating power in Page 11 revealed truth! Brothers and sisters, following Jesus in a true divine revelation of the Holy Scriptures, is much more than preaching, Do not do this; do not do that, and do not touch this. What is it?! There is a lot to preach about in the Holy Bible, than dos and don'ts! Come on! Saints of God, nobody will attain the statural image of Jesus Christ, without a revelational perception (knowledge) of Jesus Christ, because it takes that revelational input for our characters to be conformed to his character: We have to see it first! That is why Saint Paul pleaded in Romans Chapter 12, verses 1-2: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. So, it takes a revelation, a divine revelation, because we are going to be changed into the same image of Christ, by beholding his revelational standard, as

12 Page 12 September 2017 that is precisely how we attain the ultimate standard of readiness, the Lord working through the Original Ephesian Ministry. That is the absolute truth! So, IF you leave the fountain of revealed truth, you are definitely going nowhere! You are just wasting your time, and you will become like a Newspaper vendor, crying, Daily Times! Guardian News! Yet, there is not one bit of news written in that paper the he reads or knows about, for he is only selling it! There is nothing in it that he appropriates! It is also like a Bus Conductor at a Bus Park, crying: Eko- Ibadan, Eko-Ibadan, but he is not going to enter that bus to Ibadan, for he is only calling for intended passengers. And once the bus is full, he is given Twenty Naira or Hundred Naira in settlement, and the bus takes off! The Old Ship of Zion moves off, and he is left behind, for he is not heaven bound, being a speechless friend, a mere carrier of the Message! Do you understand what I am saying? And there are so many Bus Conductors in the Ministry, around the globe, but let us leave that aside. It is not for nothing that Proverbs Chapter 21, verse 16, says: The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. I am making a serious point, and I am rubbing it in on purpose, because you will never attain the spiritual image of Jesus Christ without a revelation, a rich and deep scriptural revelation, that he gives to his Elect Bride! You just have to follow the Lord Jesus in his continuous light, for the spiritual adornment of your soul, because the Robe of revealed Truth, is what constitutes our wedding garment! However, the main issue is this, and this is really where I am going, for it is the main thrust of this message: When we look at Revelation Chapter 19, we are told something in prophecy. And that something, is precisely what I want to break down today, and then close. Verse 7 records: Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him (who is God): for the marriage of the Lamb is come, (it has now come): and his wife hath made herself READY. So, verse 7 gives us nothing but a heavenly setting, and that is exactly what we have on the extreme right side of our chart. That is exactly what we see right here. (Brother Amos points to the chart), for the Elect Lady is The Word Bride. The issue however is this: When did she become ready? It was back on earth, for it is written of this heavenly setting, that she HATH, (Past tense), made herself ready. She was made ready right here on earth, adorning her soul with every revelation of truth that her Bridegroom gave. But look closely at verse 8, for because she was ready, because she had made herself ready, verse 8 now declares: And to her was GRANTED (GIVEN), That she SHOULD (THEN) BE ARRAYED (CLOTHED; DRESSED), IN FINE LINEN, clean and white: for the fine l i n e n i s t h e righteousness of saints. I laid out something last Sunday, and it is very important that we see the true picture. Hence, I am going to ask you: What are you going to do with verse 8? I ask the question, because we are faced with nothing but a prophetic truth in this very verse of Scripture. She was arrayed in fine linen, or rather, she was granted to be so arrayed, based upon the fact of her readiness. Church, please note that verse 7 only lets us know precisely the BASIS by

13 September 2017 which she came to be in heaven; it only explains the basis she got to be up there, because John did not see her go up to heaven; he only just saw her up there. But now, in verse 8, we are made to know exactly HOW she got up there: And she got up there, because she was given something! She was given this specific thing, referred to as fine linen, because she was ready! Where? On earth! The material question therefore, is this: What exactly was she given? What did Jesus grant or give to her, for she was given something?! That is the material issue, as we cannot pull it here and there, and neither can we interpret it to be this and that, as it can only mean one thing! Verse 8 states: And to her was granted that she should be arrayed, (for it is most certainly an adornment; it is a clothing, a garment, a robe; she was now arrayed), in fine linen, clean and white: FOR THE FINE LINEN IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF SAINTS. Hold it there, Church! As I said last Sunday, just look at the absolute truth that Apostle Paul laid out in Romans Chapter 1. There are a few Scriptures we are going to read today, but I am not going to take long. In Romans Chapter 1, from verse 16, Apostle Paul declares: For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek, (meaning the Gentiles). Verse 17, is where I am going, and it records: For therein (in the Scriptures; in the Gospel), IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH. It simply means, that the more you follow Jesus Christ in his divine scriptural revelation, the more the righteousness of God adorns your life. Therefore, when you reject his truth, you reject God's righteousness, and you will never be righteous, and neither will you ever make it as his Bride. Period! Because true divine righteousness is an imputation, as it is a righteousness that God confers upon a people, or that he attributes or ascribes to a people, for daring to believe the testimony He gave of His Son! It is not your righteousness, for it is not of your works; it is His own righteousness, which is a gift, one which we receive Page 13 by faith. That is why verse 17, ends with an absolute declaration: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. We have to live by divine scriptural revelation, because therein lies our righteousness, true righteousness, which is God's righteousness! Consequently, if we refuse it, we are finished! So, if we take this back to Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8, we have to ask ourselves this question: The fine linen that is stated here, which is the righteousness of saints, what does it really mean? How do we apply it, when we already have God's righteousness conferred upon us by faith, even as we speak? That is the point! Therefore, what does this verse mean, when we are already saints of God, meaning that we are the sanctified children of God, a people who have been made righteous by God, through faith that is in Jesus Christ? Is it on the day of rapture, that the Elect Bride of Jesus Christ will be given God's righteousness, if that is how we want to look at it? Of course not! So, what exactly is verse 8 saying? What is Jesus Christ saying in this prophetic revelation? I say that, because we must not forget that this is

14 Page 14 September 2017 the prophetic revelation of our Saviour Jesus Christ! So, what precisely is he saying to his Elect Bride, the Elect Lady, knowing that we are not even saved to begin with, without faith? And what does it mean to be saved? It is to have God's righteousness, for it means that we have been justified from our sins, and now we have God's own righteousness imputed to us, and that, brothers and sisters, is the beginning of salvation! It is not the end of it, but that is the beginning! As we walk in the light, truth sanctifies our lives, and He sends His Spirit to fill our souls, and we are thereby transformed; we are born again. Halleluiah! We become part of the kingdom of God, part of his body, because we are born into the kingdom by a spiritual birth, just as it is written in 1 Corinthians Chapter 12, verses 13-14: For by One Spirit are we ALL baptized into One Body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into One Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. So, we already have his righteousness, for that is the reason we come to the cross. And when we come to the cross by faith, that is, under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, brothers and sisters, and we give our hearts to Jesus Christ, it is our Inner Man that is saved. Come on! I repeat: When we come to the cross, and bow to God, by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, and he accepts us, it is our Inner Man, our Spirit Man, our Soul, that is saved. This Outer Body of ours, which is clothed with natural clothes, one that is covered up with this suit and tie, or with a dress, is not yet saved; it is not yet redeemed. I repeat: Our Outer Man, the Physical Man, which we have here on the extreme left of our chart, has not yet been saved. (Brother Amos points to the chart). The Outer Man is just a cloak or a house for the Inner Man. And right now, it is not the Outer Body that is redeemed; it is the Inner Man that is redeemed, for the Outer Man is yet to be saved. You are not hearing me. When we come to the cross of Calvary, and give our hearts to Jesus Christ, it is our Soul, the Inner Man, the Spirit Man, that is saved: Because the Soul is part of the Spirit Man, the Inner Man. And although the price has already been fully paid for the redemption of our Physical Body, which is the Outer Man, the Physical Man, the truth remains, that it has only been redeemed potentially, and not in reality, not in actuality; which is why we fall sick, and are afflicted time and time again in the body, and the body even dies; the Outer Man eventually dies! Why? It is because the Outer Man made of flesh and bones, has not yet been saved! Let us settle this issue once, and for all. Look at what Jesus says in Luke Chapter 17, beginning from verse 20: And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation. Why not? Because it is not a physical kingdom, but a spiritual kingdom! Therefore, you cannot observe it physically, and hence Jesus proclaimed in verse 21: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God IS WITHIN YOU. He said that, simply because it is not physical; it cannot be seen with the physical eye, except by the eyes of divine revelation, just as it is written: for, behold, the kingdom of God is

15 September 2017 WITHIN YOU. Hold it Church! Firstly, to possess this kingdom, which is a spiritual kingdom, you have to believe in Jesus the Christ, Jesus the Anointed One of God. Brothers and sisters, the door into the kingdom was standing right in their midst that day, and they saw nothing! In that day, the kingdom was standing right before them, because Jesus is the door to the kingdom; he is the way, and the kingdom is IN him! Everything of salvation is IN Christ, for God invested it IN Christ, and hence, the kingdom of God was standing before them in that day, but they were totally blind to it, as it takes the eyes of faith! Saints, in that day, the kingdom first had application to Jesus the Christ, for the kingdom of God was invested IN him, and hence, it was IN their midst; but now that Christ has been crucified and glorified, the application is now to us, for the kingdom of God is now IN us. Because he paid the price, the door was opened up for you and me to enter the kingdom, by the infilling of the Holy Ghost. And by the infilling of the Holy Ghost, you possess the kingdom, and consequently, the kingdom you possess is IN you. Why is it in you? Because it is your Inner Man, your Spirit Man, that is first being saved, and hence, it is your Inner Man that first possesses this kingdom! The Holy Spirit comes into your heart, filling your Soul, redeeming and transforming your Inner Man. Are you with me? He saves and transforms your Inner Man, as Jesus takes his abode IN you, by the infilling of the Holy Ghost, putting the kingdom IN you, thereby making you become a part of the kingdom of God, which is a spiritual kingdom. Hence, your Soul or your Inner Man, is what is being saved as we speak. It is so, because your Soul is part of your Inner Man, your Spirit Man. As a result, brothers and sisters, the righteousness that we have today, and the salvation that we have right now, is conferred, not on our Fleshly Body, which is the Outer Man, it is conferred on our Inner Man. How many see the point now? So, in true spiritual reality, we already have the righteousness of God that is in Christ Jesus, one which we have by faith, because we are Justified by Faith. Therefore, the righteousness of God that we have right now, is not one that is conferred upon Page 15 our Outer Man, our Physical Body, but it is a righteousness that is conferred exclusively upon our Inner Man, our Spirit Man, our Soul! Come with me to the Word of God, for we need to settle it scripturally. Church, just why do you think Apostle Paul made the open declaration he made in 1 Corinthians Chapter 15? Saint Paul, speaking to the Corinthians in Chapter 15, beginning from verse 47, plainly declares: The First Man (ADAM), is of the earth, earthy, (meaning that he is carnal, fleshly): the Second Man (JESUS CHRIST), is the Lord from heaven, (on account of the incarnation, and hence spiritual). Apostle Paul is referring to the Spirit of God that Jesus received at Jordan River, right after his baptism, which made him The LORD, EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US. (Matt. 1:23). Do you understand? Verse 48: As is the earthy, (carnal), such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, (spiritual), such are they also that are heavenly. Now watch verse 49: And as we have borne the image of the

16 Page 16 September 2017 Earthy (ADAM), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly (JESUS CHRIST). But look at verse 50, for that is where I am going, and it states: Now this I say, brethren, that FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. That is a serious statement! Speaking by the Holy Spirit, Apostle Paul says categorically, that flesh and blood, which is our Physical Body, our Outer Man, does not inherit the kingdom of God! Can you see the point? Why does it not inherit the kingdom of God? Because the Outer Man has not yet been redeemed, and hence, being corruptible, it is carnal, fleshly! That is why! What we have right now, is a spiritual kingdom, and as such, it is only our Inner Man that can possess it, and it is only our Inner Man, our Spirit Man, that possesses the kingdom, for we possess it with our Soul! I repeat: It is strictly with our Inner Man that we possess the kingdom as we speak, for it is not yet a literal kingdom, but a spiritual kingdom! God is first establishing a spiritual kingdom, before the material or physical one comes later. How many see the point? Your flesh and blood body has not yet inherited the kingdom, as it is your Inner Man that possesses the kingdom, because it is your Inner Man that is redeemed, and not your body of flesh. That body of flesh has not yet been redeemed as we speak, and hence, the Outer Man has not yet inherited the kingdom. Yes, the price has also been paid for its redemption, for Jesus paid it all, but today, as we sit, our Outer Man is only potentially redeemed. It has not yet been redeemed in actuality, and there is a difference between something being in potentiality, and it being in actuality! There is a difference in that! It is our Soul that is being redeemed today, and as such, the righteousness we have of God IN Christ Jesus; the righteousness that is being conferred upon us today, is upon our Inner Man, not upon our Fleshly Body. That is precisely why Apostle Paul says with reference to the Outer Man, that Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God ; because it is our Soul that the Lord is currently saving, and not our Physical Body. And that is precisely why we need to be Born Again, for it takes a spiritual birth, which is a re-birth, wrought by the infilling of the Holy Spirit, to understand and possess the kingdom of God, being first a spiritual kingdom. Brothers and sisters, we are born into the kingdom of God by a spiritual birth, making us New Creatures, which relates strictly to our Inner Man, for that is what is born afresh. Hence, in John Chapter 3, verse 6, Jesus declared to Nicodemus: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit, for flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom. Why? Because it is a spiritual kingdom we are possessing now, in the Dispensation of Grace; that is what God is establishing right now, and as such, our flesh cannot possess it; it is our Inner Man that can possess it. But do you know the irony of it all? Now pay close attention. The truth is, the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God, which our Inner Man possesses, is housed in an Outer Body, for it is made up of flesh and blood. In other words, although our Inner man, our Soul, is what presently inherits the kingdom, we are still a people with flesh and blood, every last one of us, who make up this kingdom. I repeat: The

17 September 2017 people that make up this kingdom, are all flesh and blood, every last one of us! So, even though it is our Inner Man that possesses it, yet, the people that make up the kingdom of God, are still people made of flesh and blood. I am at the highlight of this entire message, so please follow me closely. This understanding, now opens up the prophetic passage in question, which is Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8. The truth conveyed in 1 Corinthians Chapter 15, verse 50, now lets us see something, because something now opens up. Brothers and sisters, in Revelation Chapter 19, verse 7, we are told that his wife hath made herself ready. And because she had made herself ready, in her Inner Man, in her Soul state, verse 8 now declares: And to her was granted (given), that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints, all which is figurative terminology. So, what does it really mean? It simply means, and this is its perfect and infallible revelation, that God's righteousness, which we already have in our Soul, in our Inner Man, is now conferred upon our Outer Man as well, for it is now the hour for the redemption of our Physical Body! Redemption now strikes the Outer Man, this body of clay, transforming it into the glorious shape that the Inner Man has already attained! Glory be to God! Amen! The Divine Royal Garment that adorns our Soul, is now conferred upon, or is now also given, to adorn our Mortal Body, now giving it immortality! Halleluiah! Consequently, brothers and sisters, Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8, is telling us one thing, and one thing only, as laid out on our chart. (Brother Amos points to the chart). It is telling us, that because the Elect Bride had made herself ready on earth, now, in order to get her up there, before the throne of God in heaven, the Lord had to release an anointing upon the Outer Man; He sent the quickening power. The man standing here on the left, in the second picture on our chart, marred with red, is the Outer Man in his unredeemed estate; he is an unsaved flesh and blood body. The other man standing to his right, is the Outer Man who is saved, redeemed, for the power of life has come upon that Page 17 body to regenerate it; to transform it, thereby glorifying it. Saints, Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8, gives us nothing but the quickening power of God coming upon the Physical Body, the Outer Man. The power of eternal life comes upon the Physical Body, and eternal life takes hold of every cell, every drop of blood, every blood vessel, every artery, every nerve, every tendon, every vein, every tissue, every bone, every joint, every marrow, every cartilage, to bring about immortality! Brothers and sisters, it is the power of endless life, coming upon the Outer Man to possess it! And we are transformed bodily into sweet sixteen, nevermore to age, nevermore to grow old, nevermore to fall sick or to be afflicted in any way, and nevermore to die, throughout all eternity! And for the first time, the redemption that the Inner Man has had, will now be conferred upon the Outer Man, the Outer Carcase, the Outer Body, which is the Physical Man, made of Flesh and Blood! What is taking place? It is, that as the Inner Man is renewed or reborn, so the Outer Man is also now transformed, renewed, reborn, for IT IS THE

18 Page 18 September 2017 REGENERATION OF MAN'S OUTER TABERNACLE! That is why Jesus proclaimed in John Chapter 14, from verse 1: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house (or kingdom), are many mansions, (many eternal tabernacles; many eternal bodies; many eternal resting places): if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, (which is to make a way for us, to give us divine accessibility to this New Tabernacle, this New Mansion ordained and prepared for the Inner Man). Verse 3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. When exactly does he come to receive us unto himself? When the Bride hath made herself ready! Therefore, God sends down the quickening power to redeem our Earthly Tabernacle, transforming it in a twinkling of an eye, and the rapture immediately follows, as we meet our Bridegroom in the air. Halleluiah! How many see what I am getting at? He is coming down from heaven, not to the earth, but midway in the sky, and we meet him up there, between heaven and earth, at the time of the rapture! Church, he is coming to take us, because this is now the time for that fleshly body that is our temple, our tabernacle, to have the power of life invested in it. Redemption has to strike it as well, but it is not now, not today, it is in that hour of time. That is why Jesus said, I will come again, and receive you UNTO MYSELF; that where I am, there ye may be also. And exactly in what state is he taking us to himself? 1 John Chapter 3, gives the truth of it to us, plainly declaring in verses 1-2: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, NOW are we the sons of God, (by the virtue of the New Birth), and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: BUT WE KNOW THAT, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS. Halleluiah! We shall be like him! We shall have glorified physical bodies just like his own, because the fine linen, the royal robe of the righteousness of saints, is now conferred upon the Outer Man, making us immortals, superhuman beings, just like the resurrected immortal Christ! What a revelation Saint John bore in that day, and it is one which synchronises perfectly with that of Apostle Paul, for Saint John declares prophetically: it doth not yet appear what we shall be: But we know that, when he shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM. And when Jesus rose from the dead, he entered into the upper room without having to open the door, and without having to break it down either! The disciples were afraid, because they thought they had seen a ghost, and Jesus said to them: No, I am not a ghost, I am flesh and bones; for a spirit has no flesh and bones as you see me have. Touch me, and stop your unbelief. Halleluiah! He said, Thomas, you will not believe. Now look at the holes in my hands, and stick your fingers in them, and quit your unbelief. Did Thomas do that? No, for he saw the True Light! Brothers and sisters, the resurrected Christ broke bread, and they ate bread and fish

19 September 2017 together. Halleluiah! They ate bread and fish together, and the glorified Christ could also enter the upper room without opening the door, and he could also leave without opening the door. One time he was here, and another time he was in heaven, because he now has a supernatural body, a glorified body, just like that of the angels! And in that glorified body, brothers and sisters, one second you are in Nigeria, and another second you are in Australia; one second you are in Pluto, and another second you are on Galaxy XYZ! Oh, my! Church, I cannot wait for that day! That is why Jesus says: In my Father's house are many mansions, many tabernacles. I go to prepare a place for you. And I will return and receive you unto myself, in the same form, in the same image, so that where I am, you may be there also. Halleluiah! Apostle Paul zeroed in on this beautiful truth, in 2 Corinthians Chapter 5, declaring in verses 1-4: For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle, (this Physical Body), were dissolved (in death), we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, (being a supernatural body designed by God), ETERNAL in the heavens. For in this (Outer Body) we groan, earnestly desiring to be CLOTHED UPON with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle (of clay) do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but Clothed Upon, that mortality might be SWALLOWED UP OF LIFE, BY OUR O U T E R B O D Y REGENERATION! Saints, because right now, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom, Jesus has gone to make way for our flesh and blood to inherit it, because the people that make up this spiritual kingdom, are also flesh and blood. So, God had to provide a way for the mortals, the living flesh and blood, to receive immortality; and if they are dead, to receive incorruptibility. How many see the point? Because the mortal speaks of living saints, whilst the corruptible speaks of dead saints, saints whose bodies have corrupted. Their corrupt bodies are to receive incorruptibility, and the mortals are to receive immortality: Nevermore to Page 19 die; nevermore to feel pain; nevermore to fall sick, or be afflicted, or killed, and nevermore to grow old, for there will be no more aging. Halleluiah! Distance is also nothing, just as physical impediments, as well as harsh and inhospitable ( i n h a b i t a b l e ) environments, are meaningless, in that glorified body! Brothers and sisters, Neptune is just a thought away; Mars is just a thought away! Man with all their scientific advancement; man with all their advanced scientific instruments and hi-tech gadgets, take at least sixteen to eighteen months, which is a whole one and a half years, oneway, in their space probes, just to get to the nearest planet, which is Mars! Whereas angels, are coming and going in seconds, angels that are in charge of all these galaxies, galaxies that are billions of light years away, in an incredible huge universe! Think about it! How do they travel?! How do the angels do it?! And for fallen man, just to get to the closest planet to us, which is Mars, will take them one and a half years of a continuous non-stop flight! Think about it! That is why in their determined plans for human travel to Mars,

20 Page 20 September 2017 because of the extreme duration of time it will take, it is a one-way ticket being proposed, for there will be no returning for those who go. Honestly, I cannot see God allowing them to make it, and even if they make it, then, somehow, they must return; because there is nowhere in the Scripture that says that Mars will give up its dead. But they are planning seriously for it now, with the first contingent for Mars training rigorously for the trip as we speak. They want to go to another planet ahead of their Maker! They have messed up this planet, and now, they want to go and also mess up Mars. My! Fallen man is something else! Brothers and sisters, I am making a point. The tabernacle or body that Jesus went to prepare for us, is a new physical body. It is actually access to the Spirit of life eternal, that he has gone to open up for us, so that the power of endless life can come upon our old and dying bodies, to make it new, and if it is dead, to raise it up, and make it incorruptible, for it is all by the power of regeneration, which is the quickening power. That is why in the revelation of Apostle Paul, laid out in 2 Corinthians Chapter 5, he said we are earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. Just bear with me this afternoon, and may God bless you. But did you get that? He called it our house which is FROM HEAVEN. Because we have it coming upon us from heaven: It is the power of endless life! It is the quickening power coming down upon our mortal bodies! And we have access to it, because it has been given to us; it has been granted ; and it was granted, because we measured up; because as it is written, we, the Elect Bride of Christ, got ourselves ready! (Brother Amos bursts out singing): It pays to serve Jesus I speak from my heart; He'll always be with us if we do our part; There's naught in this wide world can pleasure afford, There's peace and contentment in serving the Lord. CHORUS: I love Him far better than in days of yore, I'll serve Him more truly than ever before; I'll do as He bids me whatever the cost; I'll be a true soldier, I'll die at my post. Apostle Paul is saying something. Verse 2: For in this (physical body) we groan, earnestly desiring to be CLOTHED UPON with our house which is from heaven. So, it is not that God should take this body away, but that something should come upon it, an endless life, a divine power, the quickening power, making this same mortal body become an immortal one; that it may be swallowed up by immortality. In verse 4, the thought is repeated: For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but CLOTHED UPON, THAT MORTALITY MIGHT BE SWALLOWED UP OF LIFE, (THEREBY GIVING US ENDLESS LIFE, IMMORTALITY). This is the redemption of our physical (mortal) bodies! That is it! And because it is not yet redeemed today, is precisely why we fall ill; that is why we have sicknesses, diseases, and all kinds of body weaknesses, and body pains, and afflictions. Today, if it is not a headache, it is stomach trouble. We wake up some

21 September 2017 mornings, and we wonder just how to get up: Because our body is just something else! But it will be over one of these days soon, when our Outer Man is redeemed. That is precisely why, in 2 Corinthians Chapter 4, Saint Paul stated in verse 16: For which cause we faint not; but though our OUTWARD MAN PERISH (as the days go by, degenerating with each passing day), yet the INWARD MAN IS RENEWED day by day, because the Inner Man, the Inward Man, has already been redeemed! I am at the end of my message, but there are some things I need to polish up. Therefore, when we look at what the Lord has given to us presently, it is our Inward Man that is saved. That is also why Saint Paul prayed in Ephesians Chapter 3, verse 16: That He (God) would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit IN THE INNER MAN. It is simply because it is our Inner Man that is presently clothed with the righteousness of God, b e c a u s e t h a t righteousness, which is an imputation of God, one that we receive by faith, is strictly conferred upon our Spirit Man, our Soul, as the Outer Man, the Physical Body, is not yet saved. That is why Saint Paul says that right now, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom, because it is first a spiritual kingdom we possess, by the infilling of the Holy Spirit; and hence, the kingdom of God is within you; it is our Inner Man that receives this salvation. That is settled! Brothers and sisters, this is us, right here in this picture. (Brother Amos points to the chart). I take this man in red as someone who is saved, but his salvation is only in his Soul, for his Physical Body is unredeemed; it is not yet redeemed, and that picture represents man in his present redeemed estate, having only his Soul redeemed. Are you with me? And speaking concerning this Physical Body, Apostle Paul said, I do not want this body to be taken off, but to be clothed upon, by the power of eternal life coming upon it, hence, making it clothed upon. It is the power of endless life coming upon this Outer Man, so that mortality can be swallowed up by immortality, consumed by the power of endless life! And when that happens, that gives us the Page 21 redeemed man we have on our chart, who not only has his Inner Man saved, but his Outer Man is also saved, thus having complete salvation. It is the quickening power that brings this about, wherein God's righteousness is also conferred upon our mortal bodies, giving it immortality. Period! Consequently, we must all be clear, that when, in the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ, the Holy Bible says, BECAUSE HIS WIFE HATH MADE HERSELF READY, And to her was GRANTED that she should BE ARRAYED IN FINE LINEN, CLEAN AND WHITE: for the fine l i n e n i s T H E RIGHTEOUSNESS OF SAINTS, that is not stated with regards to our Souls, for our Souls have already been clothed with the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. It is stated with strict reference to our Physical Bodies, our Outer Man, which is now being clothed upon, to produce this super body that we have here, on the chart. It is a super body, or a supernatural body. Why do we say that? Because it is a glorified body, made like the very body of Jesus Christ, where the power of endless life has taken over every inch of us, every cell, every fibre, every tissue,

22 Page 22 September 2017 every artery, every nerve, every vein, every jot of blood, every bone, every cartilage, every part of our body, from the crown of our heads, to the soles of our feet, every toe nail, every fingernail, taking over every part of our natural being! The power of life takes over our complete and entire physical makeup, thus making our salvation complete, for we are now saved, Spirit, Soul, and Body! Brothers and sisters, in that day, we will become super human beings in our physical being! So, when verse 8 states, that she is granted to be clothed in fine linen, which is the righteousness of the saints, you must all understand that that is not intended for the Soul; it is for the Physical Body, because the Soul has already been redeemed, and the Soul already has the righteousness of God conferred upon it. In fact, it is in her Soul state, her Inner Man, that she was made ready, as blemishes are any longer present in her Soul. Do not forget, that the quickening power is NOT SENT, UNTIL she is ready; verse 8 is not ignited, UNTIL she is ready. That lets us see that in her spiritual make-up, her spiritual image, her Inner man, she has attained the standard, the mature spiritual stature, the revelatory image of Jesus. The universal body of Christ is now a full and complete embodiment of the Spirit of Christ; she is ready, having been thoroughly washed with the washing of water by the Word, and she is standing as a glorious Church, just as Ephesians Chapter 5, verses 26-27, states, having no spot, no wrinkle, no blemish, no creed, no dogma, no tradition, but holy and without blemish. So, the readiness of the Bride is in her Soul State, for she has attained spiritual maturity in her Inner Man. The body of flesh and blood, is still untouched, unredeemed, but because she has attained this mature spiritual standard in her Soul, because she is ready, God sends down the quickening power to her Body, to complete the redemption of man; because now, redemption strikes the Physical Body, bringing redemption to this tabernacle that holds the Inner Man. (Brother Amos points to the chart). If that body is in the grave, it comes out incorruptible; if it is a living saint, it is changed into immortality, and we are now fully redeemed, Spirit, Soul, and Body. Therefore, you cannot take Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8, and apply it to the Soul, the Inner Man. Forget it! Because that is already settled when she made herself ready; she already has the righteousness of the Lord imputed to the Inner Man. Consequently, what she is now granted in verse 8, is the fine linen divine robe of righteousness ordained for her Physical Body, one with which her Soul has already been clothed, in order to complete her salvation! That is precisely why in the Book of Romans Chapter 8, Apostle Paul declares from verse 22: For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, (which is the token; the down payment of God; a deposit of grace; the token of eternal life, which is the infilling of the Holy Ghost. In other words, we who are redeemed, filled with the Spirit; we who have the righteousness of God conferred upon us), even we ourselves groan within ourselves (And why do we groan, even though we are filled with the Holy Spirit? Because we

23 September 2017 are still living in an unredeemed body of flesh and blood, afflicted with all manner of diseases and sicknesses, and with all kinds of bodily weaknesses and limitations, and so we groan), WAITING FOR THE ADOPTION, TO WIT, THE REDEMPTION OF O U R B O D Y (PHYSICAL)!!! And where is the adoption, or the redemption of our physical bodies revealed? It is in Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8! And when do we have it? It is at the time of the rapture, when God sends down the quickening power to clothe our Outer Man, because the Elect Bride of Jesus Christ Hath Made HERSELF READY! Halleluiah! The fine linen in this verse of Scripture, which is the righteousness of saints, is definitely for the Outer Man, our earthly tabernacle! Brothers and sisters, that is when we can now take off, for it is in this glorious state that we enter the rapture, when we will see Jesus, being just like him! Brothers and sisters, the law of gravity, which demands that whatever goes up must come down, no longer binds us, for it loses its application to us, as we become immortals, supernatural beings! In that day, we will not be like puffs of smoke swaying in the sky, or like dragonflies, who zap in and out quickly through the air. Forget that nonsense, for we are not preaching Catholic dogma here! And let me even tell you now: To begin with, your Inner Man, your Spirit Man, which is the real you, looks just like you. I will take you back to Genesis Chapter 1, verses 26-27, which records: And God said, Let us make man in OUR IMAGE, (which is a SPIRITUAL IMAGE, God speaking to His angelic helpers, who are also spirit beings), after our likeness, (which is also a spiritual likeness): and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in HIS OWN IMAGE, (which is A SPIRIT IMAGE, A SPIRIT MAN), in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. Then in Chapter 2, God now created a Physical Man, and placed the Spirit Man that he had already created in Chapter 1, and put him into this Body of Flesh, and man become a living Soul, just as Chapter 2 states, but beginning from verse 4, Page 23 for a material background: These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and THERE WAS NOT A MAN TO TILL THE GROUND, because he was still just a Spirit Man, a Spirit Being, dwelling in the presence of God in heaven. Hence, in verse 7, the Bible now states: And the Lord God formed MAN of the dust of the ground, (thereby giving us the Physical Man, this house of Flesh, this Fleshly Body), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, (which is that He put the Spirit Man into his Physical Body); AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL. Brothers and sisters, Man is first a Spirit Being, before he was placed into a Body of Flesh. Consequently, the saints that are in heaven as we speak, waiting for the resurrection, are not like puffs of smoke, for they are just as real as you and me. Your Inner Man looks like you, and is just like you,

24 Page 24 September 2017 because it is you, the real you, just as we have depicted on the extreme left hand side of our chart! Your body, which is just a house for the Spirit Man that you really are, takes on the semblance of the Inner Man, and as such, in heaven, saints are distinguishable and identifiable! Because the real you, is a spirit, living in the body of flesh and blood, in order to enable the spirit man to have contact with the physical world; because the body is an avenue for the spirit man to relate to this earthly habitation! But when the power of life comes upon this Outer Man, adopting it, we become something else; for we become like angels, literally! We are now waiting for that adoption, even the redemption of our mortal bodies, because as we speak today, it is only our souls, our spirit man, that has been adopted. That is why in Romans Chapter 8, going back to verse 11, Apostle Paul declares: But if the Spirit of Him (God) that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you (now, today), He (God) that raised up Christ from the dead SHALL also QUICKEN YOUR MORTAL BODIES by His Spirit that dwelleth in you, (at the hour of the adoption or redemption of our mortal bodies)! Do you know the beauty of it all? It is in this hour, this very junction of time, that we are going to have this glorious experience, for it is just down the road! It is in this Move, this Last Gentile Move of God, that this promise will be realised! It is good to be able to see the revealed programme of God; it is good to be able to see the revealed ending plot of universal salvation. Church, people have been believing that Jesus is coming, not knowing that there are Seven Church Ages. And now, we are not only in the Seventh and Final Church Age, we are precisely in the Last Junction of Time, in this Last Age of Christendom. We are now in God's Last Move, in this Seventh and Final Age, for we are in God's Move of Completion, which is God's Unity Move, and as we can all see, revelatory Unity is already on, for it is here. So, what are we talking about? It is this very Move that will lead us straight into the reality of what we are talking about today, in this message, for this is the Move of God that leads us directly into the rapture. Glory be to God! And it is just a few short days to go, because translation is ordained for this hour. That is why God sent a Message, the Midnight Cry, to get the Elect Bride for His Son, calling her out from the entire world of organised religion, that she may walk with Christ, strictly in the light of the Holy Scriptures, devoid of all creeds and dogma, and completely free of all hand-me-down traditions of men. Coming back to continue our consideration of Romans Chapter 8, after Apostle Paul had laid out the truth of the coming adoption-redemption of our mortal (physical) bodies in verse 11, he then moved to deal with the adoption of our Spirit Man, which we all have today by the infilling of the Holy Ghost, stating in verses 14-16: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but YE HAVE RECEIVED THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit (of God) Itself beareth witness with our spirit, (our human spirit, our inner man, the spirit man), THAT WE ARE the children of God. Because our spirits have been saved, redeemed,

25 September 2017 adopted! Then in the next verse, he again hits the adoption of our physical bodies, at the resurrection, declaring in verse 17: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also GLORIFIED TOGETHER (at the resurrection), when our Outer Man will be changed to be like that of Christ, meaning that it is Glorified! Apostle Paul prayed for this body change experience, in Philippians Chapter 3, verse 10, stating: That I may know him, and THE POWER of his resurrection That is our body change, for it is the redemption of our mortal body that that relates to, because our Soul has already been adopted; it is our Outer Man that now needs to be adopted (redeemed). On that day, once the adoption of our Outer Man is done, redemption becomes complete, for that completes our redemption, when we become like the Glorified Christ. Hence, still referring to our body change in Philippians Chapter 3, Apostle Paul now added in verses 20-21: For our conversation (or life) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: WHO SHALL CHANGE OUR VILE BODY, THAT IT MAY BE FASHIONED LIKE UNTO HIS GLORIOUS BODY, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. And what a privilege we have, that we will be just like Christ! We will be equal to angels, and as such, we can appear and disappear. In that glorified body, the world can fire all the missiles and atomic warheads that they want at us, we will just look at them, because they are only wasting their time! We are not like the comic Hollywood figure, superman. Forget that nonsense, for that is mere fiction! If you expose superman to kryptonite, it makes him lose his power. Forget that child's play! Brothers and sisters, angels are the ones in charge of Planet Venus, with all the deadly gases, and the incredible concentration of sulphuric acid that is churning on that planet. Angels are the ones turning over the sulphur to prepare it for those coming, that is IF that is where God has designed as the place to house the Lake of Fire. Angels are the ones in charge of all the natural Page 25 laws governing the universe, from planet to planet, and from galaxy to galaxy, and as such, all the inhospitable chemical environments we have on Venus, for example, mean absolutely nothing to angels! Brothers and sisters, we can no more fall ill or die, and we cannot feel any pain or anything! That is why on the Day of the Lord, when they throw missiles at us, and they explode in our faces, it will be the equivalence of perfume being thrown at us, all action but no effect! When the dust settles, we will still be standing, calm and unruffled, totally untouched, just looking at these serpent seeds with utter disdain! Nothing touches our glorified bodies, not even a speck of dust! Superhuman beings, that is what we are going to be, because it is for all eternity! That is why in 2 Corinthians Chapter 5, Apostle Paul called it our eternal house, declaring in verse 1: For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS, that will be granted to us, as revealed in Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8. It is the eternal

26 Page 26 September 2017 body for the spirit man. (Brother Amos bursts out singing): If the same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead Dwell in you, Dwell in me; If the same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead Dwell in you, Dwell in me; He shall quicken your mortal body, if that same Spirit dwell in you; He shall quicken your mortal body, if that same Spirit dwell in you. What is that? It is the Spirit of adoption coming upon the flesh of the redeemed of the Lord! The Spirit of redemption comes upon the flesh, and we will become superhuman beings! (Brother Amos bursts out singing again): I'm going higher, yes, I am! I'm going higher some day. I'm going higher, yes, I am! Going to Jesus to stay; I'm going above the shadows Into the presence of God Into the presence of Jesus I'm going higher someday! Halleluiah! Amen! Now listen carefully, for I want to show you something. Continuing with 2 Corinthians Chapter 5, from verse 2, Saint Paul clearly states: For in this (present physical body), we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. Now hear what verse 4 says: For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, BUT CLOTHED UPON, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. This gives us the spiritual covering for our Mortal Body; the divine garment for our Outer Man; the veil of righteousness, THE VEIL OF ENDLESS LIFE. This truth, brothers and sisters, brings me back to the Old Testament, where the Lord laid out a beautiful type, one which speaks of the reality of the truth we are setting forth in this message, right there in the Seed Chapter, in Genesis. In Chapter 24, Abraham sent Eliezer, his householder-servant, to get a bride for Isaac, his son, just as God also sent Elijah at this End Time, to get a Bride for Jesus Christ His Son, although, as we brought out in our message in the Scribe Magazine, titled, The Householder, Eliezer in its End-Time application, gives us the Three Successive Householder Scribes, of Matthew Chapter 13, verse 52, Elijah, the Prophet, Paul, the Chief Apostle, and John, the Lead Apostle. This is absolutely so, because Elijah is no longer here, and the Elect Bride is still on her earthly journey, advancing towards the return of our Isaac, Jesus Christ our Bridegroom, and scripturally speaking, it is in the hour of the Householder Ministry of John, that we will meet our Isaac in the air, on the day of rapture. So, in that day, Abraham commissioned Eliezer to get a bride for Isaac, and Eliezer got Rebekah, a beautiful damsel (lady), a virgin, who accepted to marry Isaac. And although she had not yet met him, just like the Bride, she believed the message that he sent, and she followed the ministry of Eliezer, riding on a camel, which speaks of the power of the revealed Word that carries the Elect Bride. Now, on their journey to meet Isaac, as recorded in Genesis Chapter 24, beginning from verse 63, the Bible records: And Isaac went out to meditate in the field AT THE EVENTIDE: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming. And Rebekah lifted up

27 September 2017 her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel, (because the message had now served its full purpose, and it was now time for Rebekah to meet Isaac face to face)! My! Verse 65: For she had said unto the Servant, (representing the Final Householder Scribe Servant of Jesus Christ, who is on the ground at the hour of our meeting with Christ, on the day of rapture. She said to this servant), What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us (Half- Way; Mid-Air)? And the servant had said, It is my Master: THEREFORE SHE TOOK A VAIL, AND COVERED HERSELF. What a beautiful type! Oh, my! On meeting Isaac, she covered herself with a vail. Brothers and sisters, I now ask you: What does the vail represent? What is its endapplication? You will tell me: Brother Amos, the covering with the vail represents humility, meekness, and total submissiveness to Isaac. Yes, that is true, for it also speaks of Rebekah's meekness and submissiveness; but that is applying it only on one level, which is on a practical application level. So, yes, on that level, it certainly speaks of these lovely divine attributes. That typology, at least, is a scriptural type, and hence, it is true, and is much better than the carnal, erroneous, and apostate application which Russel Davis gave it, in his message on August 31st, 2014, at Faith Assembly of Montgomery, Illinois, titled, It's Cleaving Time, Part 3, where he declared: Men and people get all caught up with Apostles and Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers, I D E N T I F Y I N G CALLINGS, identifying this and that. God's not going to raise up another man to be head over the rest, because we are all the servants of God, and we operate according to His will, and speak His Word as He lays it upon our heart; we have to be dealt with in that measure, and we have to make the vow before God. He doesn't want I'll say it as humbly as I know how to say it. In the end it doesn't matter, what you feel like your calling is... because God wants to get us all together, and He has a way of doing it. He lifted up Brother Branham's ministry, He lifted up Brother Jackson's ministry, but He's not issuing out horses today. Page 27 We find them outside the door. (The congregation laughed.) And if any minister wants to ride a horse before the body of people, that's what they look like, (obviously pointing to something ridiculous looking, and the congregation laughed, and he laughed as well). Because God isn't giving out horses for ministers to ride on; we have to find ourselves invested shoulder to shoulder with one another, seeking the Lord because God wants to have a humble Bride brought before Jesus Christ (Now pay close attention, as Russel Davis zeros in on Rebekah, stating): She jumped up off her Camel, and she went running back there to the back, and she put on all her Jewels, because she wanted to be presented to him. And you know what else she did? SHE PUT A VAIL OVER HER FACE. Know what that vail over her face means to me? It means God don't care, we don't come to you, I don't come to you as Apostle Russell Davis, I don't come to you as Pastor Russell Davis, I don't come to you in anything like that. I'm just a servant of God, and

28 Page 28 September 2017 I come to you in the name of the Lord, that He has something wonderful to do for your life, and wonderful to invest in you THE VAIL, IT TAKES ALL THAT WHO WE ARE OUT OF IT. She wasn't nobody, I'm nobody, I'm a Gentile I'm a sinner saved by grace. What a load of carnal nonsense, to say that the vail takes all that who we are out of it! He said that just to deny the current Lead Apostolic Ministry Move of God, and it is also to deny the Apostolic Headship of the Ephesian Ministry, for the Apostles make up the head of the Fivefold Ministry! Yet, Apostle Paul, who is The Apostle of the Gentiles, and the Star Messenger to the First Church Age, the Ephesian Church Age, a man whose Star Ministry, sets the standard for all other Star Messengers to the Church Ages, made a big astounding claim in 2 Corinthians Chapter 11, based squarely on his preeminent position in the ministry, over the Entire Gentile Bride, for he declared categorically in verse 2, but starting from verse 1: Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. (Why did he say that? Because some were belittling his position in the ministry, and verses 4-6, confirms this fact)! Now listen to verse 2, for that is precisely where I am going, and he boldly claims: For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, THAT I MAY PRESENT YOU AS A CHASTE VIRGIN TO CHRIST. Now I ask you: On what basis is he to present us to Christ on that glorious day? It is as THE APOSTLE of the Gentiles! He also declared in Acts Chapter 13, verse 47: For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a Light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation UNTO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, which is to the end of the Church Ages! That takes in our day as well, because he set the absolute standard of the saving faith of Jesus Christ, upon which our salvation is firmly established, as Gentiles! Because he is the Wise Masterbuilder, and the Foundation Layer, all under Christ, for the Entire Universal Bride of Jesus Christ; and as I said, it is upon his foundation, that our faith rests, even as we speak today, in 2017! (1 Cor. 3:10-11). Consequently, brothers and sisters, if the vail did not take all that who we are out of it for Apostle Paul, neither will the vail take away the ministry position which every other man occupies, for we all expect a reward for a specific job done, and in the capacity that it is done! Exactly! Therefore, the vail cannot take away who we are, and it certainly does not take away who we are, out of the equation! It does not, and I say that on the full authority of the Holy Scriptures, for Apostle Paul expects to present the Universal Bride to Jesus Christ, when we meet him in heaven! Now fight that! That is why I said, if we make a practical application of Rebekah's use of the vail, teaching that Rebekah's covering with the vail, types or speaks of humility, meekness, and submissiveness to Isaac, that cannot be denied or contested, scripturally speaking, as it is also true, for that is also a scriptural type. However, and as I stated earlier, that typology is only on one level, and that is a lower level, being one that gives us only a practical application; and I say that, because the use

29 September 2017 of the vail also has a prophetic application, which is its main projection, for it is setting a prophetic type. And in its prophetic typology, what exactly does Rebekah's covering with the vail represent? In the first place, we must realise that in that day, Rebekah was not naked, but she was fully clothed; she was not dressed scantily and indecently, like they do today, exposing their flesh! No, she was not! Having already been fully clothed, fully dressed, adorning a dress that covered up her body as a worthy bride, a virtuous lady, a chaste virgin, she now put on the vail, only at the point when she was to meet Isaac, when Isaac had also left his abode to meet her half-way in the field, which speaks of the rapture, when we will equally see Jesus Christ, our Bridegroom, up there in the sky! Therefore, brothers and sisters, the vail speaks of the quickening power that will clothe our Outer Man on that day, when we are to see Jesus Christ, for as it is written, when we see him, we shall be like him! (1 John 3:2). I repeat: That the vail speaks of the royal robe made of fine linen, clean and white, the VAIL of the righteousness of saints, which our mortal bodies will be further clothed upon, one which we will receive, at the very point of our meeting with our Isaac, as recorded in Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8! The vail covered the body of the already clothed Rebekah, indicating that there was no part of her body that was exposed, for she was fully covered, covered from head to toe, just as it is written in 2 Corinthians Chapter 5, verses 2-4: For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed UPON with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked (in any way, spirit, soul, and body). For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed UPON, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. That is it! For with the vail, she was now clothed UPON! Therefore, the vail represents or types the power of endless life that is released upon us, which will cover our entire mortal body, at the time of our meeting with Jesus Christ our Bridegroom, midway to heaven, that is, in the sky, Page 29 an event which will similarly take place at this evening time! This is the prophetic application of Rebekah's covering with the vail, in its end-type, for as it is written, the Law is a shadow of the reality we have in the New Testament. Period! Therefore, when we consider Genesis Chapter 24, verse 64, the moment that Rebekah gets off the camel power, shows that the revelation of the Bride is now complete, and that she has also attained spiritual maturity, and her readiness for her Bridegroom has come to its fullness, for as it is written: his wife hath made herself READY. What next? It is the application of the vail! That ignites Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8: And to her was GRANTED that she should be ARRAYED, (FULLY CLOTHED), in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints, one that comes upon her mortal body, giving her a totally redeemed body, a glorified body, a fully adopted Outer Man, matching the already adopted Inner Man, thereby making her redemption absolutely complete and eternal. Full stop! She is now fully redeemed, eternally: Spirit,

30 Page 30 September 2017 Soul, and Body! Praise God! Amen! Brothers and sisters, you have to believe me this morning, that Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8, gives us nothing other than the quickening power, which will come upon our physical bodies, to transform them into this body here, like that of the immortal Christ; (Brother Amos points to the chart); this glorified body, a body that the power of endless life has taken over, giving it immortality; showing that it has been adopted, redeemed, fully redeemed. 1 Corinthians Chapter 15, which speaks about our Outer Man, our Physical Body, ties right in with this, beginning from verse 40, which records: There are also celestial bodies, (heavenly bodies), and bodies terrestrial, (earthly bodies): but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in Corruption, (referring to the bodies of the dead saints); it is raised in INCORRUPTION: It is sown in Dishonour; it is raised in GLORY: it is sown in Weakness; it is raised in POWER: It is sown a Natural Body; it is raised a SPIRITUAL BODY, (A GLORIFIED SUPERNATURAL BODY). There is a Natural Body, and there is a SPIRITUAL BODY. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit, (A LIFE GIVER). Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption, (because redemption is first spiritual, as it is first wrought for the salvation of our lost souls, after which the salvation of our fleshly bodies follow. Hence, in verse 51, Saint Paul now proclaims): Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, (we shall not all die), BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, (IN OUR MORTAL BODIES, BOTH DEAD AND LIVING SAINTS). In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised INCORRUPTIBLE, and we (living saints) shall be CHANGED. For this Corruptible (or dead body, referring to dead saints), must put on INCORRUPTION, and this Mortal (or living body, referring to living saints), m u s t p u t o n IMMORTALITY. So when this Corruptible shall h a v e p u t o n INCORRUPTION, and this Mortal shall have put on IMMORTALITY, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory, (as death and corruption completely lose their hold over our Outer Man, our Physical Body, and redemption is now complete for the Elect Universal Bride of Jesus Christ. We can therefore say): O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

31 September 2017 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ, (for everything has been wrought or achieved by God, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour). And on account of this most glorious plan that is laid before us, we are admonished in verse 58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. I like the way Saint John ended the presentation of this lovely and most inspiring truth, declaring in 1 John Chapter 3, but starting from verse 1: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM (IN OUR OUTER MAN, IN OUR PHYSICAL BODY); FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS. Amen and Amen! Saints of God, now come with me to verse 3, for Apostle John admonishes us, stating in clear and categorical terms: And EVERY MAN that hath this hope in him PURIFIETH HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE IS PURE. Yes, he does! He will live clean and virtuous; he will live a faithful and dedicated life of holiness (righteousness) to God Almighty, who has been so gracious to unworthy us. Absolutely! Because the accomplishing of Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8, when we shall be like Christ, which brings us to be at par with angels, is based on the realisation of verse 7, which is getting ourselves READY! And as we speak, there is a quiet and humble work of readiness going on right now in the earth, for the True Elect Bride of Jesus Christ. And may I warn you, that there is nobody that will receive the quickening power for his body change, who has not met the standard of God for the full readiness of the Elect Lady, the Bride of Christ, the Lamb's Wife. Forget it! It is only those whose souls have been fully clothed with the royal robe of righteousness, that will also receive the fine linen robe of righteousness that is conveyed in Revelation Page 31 Chapter 19, verse 8, because that is now for the physical body! So, if you want to play games and politics with the marvellous revelation of life, the fresh nuggets of truth, precious things that the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Bridegroom is giving to us, from the pages of the Holy Scriptures, carry on with your games and politics. If you do not have time for truth, that your soul may be richly adorned with the divine revelation of Jesus Christ, which is the wedding garment for our souls, because you like playing Church; or that you just like this Church for whatever carnal reasons, but you will not walk in the light, then carry on! If you want to take these marvellous truths of Christ that we have been so graciously given, and live a filthy and or fraudulent life with it, behind the scenes, carry on, have your fill, for there is an unseen eye watching each and every one, who will pay every man in his true coin. I will remind you of the hard fact, that there has to be many Mrs. Lot, as well as the speechless FRIEND of Matthew Chapter 22, in the camp of the Bride as we speak! May I therefore warn you, that as we have a great host of Lot's Wife

32 Page 32 September 2017 following the Message of Brother Branham, we also have many Mrs. Lot following the Continuing Message of John! And when I say Mrs. Lot, I am talking about Mrs. Lot in its end-type! For as we have Mrs. Lot in its application to the followers of the End Time Elijah's Message, we also have Mrs. Lot in its application to the followers of the Continuing Message of the End Time John. Consequently, what you do with the Message of Truth is your choice, for we cannot but have Speechless FRIENDS! You are at liberty to do what you want with the truth that has been so simply and plainly laid out before you, for as the saying goes: You can force a horse to the water, but you cannot force it to drink. You can be given all the materials of truth that you need to adorn your soul, however rich and beautiful they may be, but you cannot be forced to wear it; you cannot be forced to make yourself ready : You can lay it aside and continue in your wilful ways. Please, I beg you: Make hay while the sun still shines, and get yourself in-tune with Jesus Christ! Appreciate something! Love something! Enjoy something! Adorn your souls with the jewels of revealed faith, and live for God! Because if you are not ready for this glorious event, you are just not ready. Period! And if you are not ready, you just will not go up, regardless of your profession of faith, for no one can deceive God! End of story! Because the quickening power will be sent only to those who are ready, and as such, your readiness is in your hands, particularly, as the Lord has given you such a great opportunity to see truth unveiled in plain view. Your eternal destiny is in your hands, for you have no excuse for not making the rapture. The day is too far spent to fall by the wayside. We have come too far to miss it! And do not forget, you are all Invitees to the Bride's Engagement; you have ALL been called, which is why every last one of you is following the Continuity Light of Jesus Christ. However, it is also written: For many are called, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN, (few are elected). (Matt. 22:14). Therefore, it is your scriptural responsibility, to give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, YE SHALL NEVER FALL. (2 Pet. 1:10). Brothers and sisters, it is a fact, an undeniable fact, that God is doing something currently, on a serious level; for He is working quietly, and humbly, strictly in a divine revelation, working earnestly to achieve the readiness of the Bride of Christ, by fortifying the great, infallible, and immutable Foundation of revealed Faith that has been laid for us, so that the serious work of perfection can be ignited. That is why the Lord has opened up the fountain of revealed truth on an unparalleled level, for a serious and most effective washing of the Elect Lady, the Bride of Christ, by the Original Ephesian Fivefold Ministry, which the Spirit of the Lord is about to put together. Apostle Paul, speaking by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit concerning this great work, one that is just ahead of us, as recorded in the Book of Romans Chapter 9, the Chapter with which we will close this message, starting from verse 27, declares: Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, A REMNANT shall be SAVED, (for it is always a Little Flock that is saved, an Elect Remnant, who are called and elected): For

33 September 2017 He (God) will finish the work (of redemption), and cut it short in righteousness: because A SHORT WORK will the Lord make upon the earth, (right here at this End-Time). Brothers and sisters, I went into all that, just to drive home this critical fact: There is no point considering the redemption of the Physical Body, if you are not going to get your Soul ready for the return of Christ. Consequently, this walk demands serious mindedness: Total dedication and commitment, sincerity of heart, and faithfulness, an inner resolve to live clean and true to God, strictly in the light of His Holy Word, and looking to God for grace, for as it is written, He gives grace to the humble. (1 Pet. 5:5). We must have an earnest inner desire, an inner motivating desire, to want to make it in the rapture, not playing hypocrisy, merely deceiving ourselves, but truly wanting to get ourselves ready. And for the full readiness of the Elect Lady, the True Bride of Christ, we are not only being given unlimited accessibility to the divine revelation of the Word of God, but there is also a quick, short, and most powerful work of redemption that is coming for us, through the Faithful Original Fivefold Ministry of men that God will put together around the world, for the Elect Bride of Jesus Christ. Therefore, on the full authority of Romans Chapter 9, verse 28, there is coming a quick, very short, most powerful, and effective work, for the Elect Lady, the Bride of Jesus Christ, who is the End-Time Rebekah, for it is by this great work that her Inner Man will be fully, richly, and beautifully robed. Saints, there is coming a quick, short, and powerful work, such as the world has never seen, because it is the Lord's wrapping up move of redemption, and the Lord has ordained to wrap up this great plan of redemption, in a most marvellous and spectacular way. It is written, The glory of the latter shall be greater than that of the former, because the True Bride is scripturally ordained to shine as the stars of heaven. In Matthew Chapter 13, verse 43, Jesus Christ revealed that the Elect Royal Bride is going to SHINE FORTH as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. So, we know something is coming, something great and Page 33 spectacular, something we see by the eyes of faith, the eyes of divine revelation, and that is why we are taking this message, THE ELECT LADY, AND HER ROYAL ROBE. Church, let me end this message on this note. In Romans Chapter 9, verse 28, the Holy Spirit is telling us that God is going to cut short the work of redemption, in total righteousness. Hence, it will be a glorious work, for it is a quick, short work, one designed by God to enable the Elect Lady to attain the spiritual stature that is ordained for her, as the Bride of Christ, having been engaged to him. Therefore, we must not forget that as we speak, her Soul is being richly adorned with the very rare (uncommon), and beautiful revelations of the Master, the deep things of the Spirit of God, forming her Robe of righteousness, her Robe of salvation, for it is a Royal Robe, worthy of the princess, the Queen to be. This is the wedding garment of righteousness for the Soul, one that adorns her Soul, her Inner Man, for it is a revelation, a pure divine scriptural revelation, and one that she has today, before the divine adornment for her

34 Page 34 September 2017 Mortal Body which will also follow. Hence, Prophet Isaiah Proclaims with joy in Chapter 61, verse 10: I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the Robe of righteousness, as a Bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a Bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Therefore, it is most important, very imperative, that we get ready, and adorn our souls with the very rich and extremely invaluable revelations of life, as there is a quick short work coming, such as the world has never seen, a most powerful work, divinely designed to wrap up this great universal plan of redemption. The religious world has no clue about this great work, how it will come, and just how it will be accomplished, even though these leading Pentecostal preachers like Benny Hinn, love to talk about the coming great revival, speaking about things they do not understand, just as Caiaphas, the High Priest, also prophesied of the death of the Messiah, not knowing what he spoke about. (John 11:47-52). Furthermore, as revealed in Isaiah Chapter 8, verse 19, what you must further understand, is that peeping spirits abound, and these peeping spirits also have something to say about this coming move of God, and we do not need any of their testimonies, for they are all coming to take a bow, just as the sons of the prophets bowed to Elisha in 2 Kings Chapter 2, verses Therefore, we must know that these men will continue peddling their financial (money) gospel, their prosperity gospel, as most of them are just motivational speakers. They inspire folks to be better bankers; better business men; better producers of coconut, bearing nothing of eternal life, being earthbound creatures. I say that, because they are certainly going nowhere with all the nonsensical material gospel that they peddle! Brothers and sisters, there is a quick powerful work coming for the Elect Lady, the Bride of Jesus Christ, because God is going to mightily anoint and turn the Original Ministry loose! But, saints, this short work cannot start, without God first completing this Restored Foundation of REVEALED FAITH. That is why I have to go away, because the essential Nuggets of revealed Truths of the Holy Bible, Fundamental Truths that need to go into this Super Structure, this Foundation Structure, a Divine Structure designed to carry the Great Short Work that God wants to do in the earth, needs to be finished. That is why I have to go away, and I have to keep going away, until the Foundation has been fully and completely fortified, with ALL the loose-ends of the Message completely and perfectly tied, scripturally, and all remaining holes superbly and effectively plugged, scripturally, because there is a serious work that is coming just down the road. Brothers and sisters, that SHORT WORK, is dependent upon The Work God has established right here, the revelatory Work which the Holy Spirit declared in prophecy, during the Spring Convention at Faith Assembly, Jeffersonville, Indiana, USA, on April 24, 2004, that He has established, yea, many miles away, far away in Africa, thereby giving us THE INPUT OF HAM. So, the Great Work, the Short Work, recorded in the Book of Romans Chapter 9, verse 28, is contingent upon the Revelatory Work

35 September 2017 that God has placed upon our shoulders, for as the Holy Spirit also stated in that prophecy at Faith Assembly, it is God's Masterplan. We will therefore give it our all, the Lord being our helper, for it is written in Psalm 126, verses 5-6: They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Saints of God, our day of glory is at hand, for it is almost here; it is near. And if you can see the seriousness of it, you will certainly pray for this work, this continuing revelatory work. You will pray for this work, because that is the least you can do, as there is a great and powerful work coming down the road, a quick short and powerful work, one that the world has never seen, one that is carrying the wrapping up glory of God's great plan of salvation. And for that great quick short work, both the prophet to this Age, and the chief apostle of this end time, often stated that, The best is yet to come, for indeed, God has reserved the best for last. But I repeat: That great and glorious work, is contingent upon us finishing this Restored Foundation Structure, a Revelatory Structure, for which God expects total faithfulness by all concerned. And indeed, that is the least we can do, for the least we can do is to be faithful, as unprofitable servants ; for it is a great privilege to see in the mirror of the Word of God, this most glorious plan of redemption, so plainly and richly unveiled before us, and to also see the crucial role we are playing, within this ending plan of redemption. That is great! What a great privilege we have of God! I said it is great for us to see our place, bearing our Input, THE INPUT OF HAM, in God's wrapping up plan of universal redemption! That is very great! As Apostle Paul could see his place in that day, as concealed in Habakkuk Chapter 1, verse 5, and the Jews could also see their place, as carriers of the light, the bearers of the Entire Oracles of God, and so we can also see our place today, by the grace of God, in the wrapping up plan of Gentile redemption, as also concealed in Habakkuk Chapter 1, verse 5. What a privilege! What an honour! What a love the Father has for us, to visit us, who are a down trodden race of people! If in the First Page 35 Church Age, an elect remnant people of God could see the Beginning Ministry Plot of Redemption, God being Alpha and Omega, He also has to have an elect remnant people at this end time, right here in this Seventh and Final Church Age, who will see the Ending Ministry Plot of Redemption. No, we do not expect the religious world to accept that, or to pat us on the back, for that is not going to happen! It is hard and harsh condemnation and opposition that we can expect, and a serious and vicious ridiculing and persecution of this move, that we can only expect, and we should expect, for the religious world have never ever fallen in line with God, in His present-tense revealed plan work! They never have, and they never will, and as such, today will not be any different either! Exactly! Brothers and sisters, this message is preached exclusively for the sake of the Elect Lady, the Elect Universal Bride of Christ, and it is this Elect Lady, that I expect to appreciate something! Brothers and sisters, on the full and unfailing authority of the Holy Word of God, THERE IS A QUICK SHORT WORK COMING, because it takes

36 Page 36 September 2017 this Promised DIVINE MOVE of God, to really get the Elect Bride of Christ READY. This great work of universal redemption, one which has spanned many Ages of Time, God will certainly finish it, and cut it short in righteousness: because A SHORT WORK WILL THE LORD MAKE UPON THE EARTH, AT THIS END TIME. THIS IS WHAT WILL PRODUCE A READY AND GLORIOUS BRIDE, SO THAT MORTALITY CAN BE SWALLOWED UP BY IMMORTALITY, THE BRIDE ADORNING A GLORIFIED ETERNAL PHYSICAL BODY, AND SHE CAN THEN BE TAKEN UP HOME INTO HEAVEN, FOR THE MARRIAGE SUPPER WITH THE LAMB. This is the great and wonderful portion of the Word Bride, a Chaste Virgin of the Word, and as it is written, She is Called, and Chosen, and Faithful. Oh, what an ELECT LADY! And what does the Elect Lady have? It is a ROYAL ROBE, minted with the Fine Linen Thread of divine righteousness, the best garment material in God's entire redeemed family. Why is this her garment material? It is simply because SHE IS THE BRIDE, THE LAMB'S WIFE, THE WIFE OF THE ROYAL PRINCE OF GOD, an Elect Lady, who occupies the Highest Class of Sainthood, in God's Entire Redeemed Family! Brothers and sisters, today, we have a Royal Robe (the Vail) of divine righteousness that covers our Inner Man, our Soul; but on that glorious resurrection morning, which is the day of rapture, we will have THE VAIL OF REBEKAH, a Royal Robe, one that is going to cover our Outer Body with the Power of Endless Life, the Power of Immortality, which Revelation Chapter 19, verse 8, gives to us, and saints, I cannot wait for that Body Change to come! What a day that will be! I ask you therefore: Is it not a privilege to be called as Bride? What more do you want from God? What more can be done for you that He has not done? So, appreciate something, and be grateful to God, and live for Him, whatever the trials, for the end of the True Bride of Jesus Christ, the Elect Lady, is A Most Glorious One. Let us bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed). The Lord bless you.
