Ten Thousand Worlds

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. (Psalm 24:7-10)

24 Ezekiel couldn’t stand it any longer. He said, “What’s going on, brethren?” And he looks over Daniel’s shoulder. He said, “Brethren, there’s that Wheel in the middle of the Wheel that I saw turning way up in the middle of the air.

He said, “I’ve conquered. Let’s go out. The next conquering I got to conquer is the grave. Come, go with Me, children.”

I can hear Abraham say, “Can we make a little whistle stop?”

“Yes, I’m going to just talk with My disciples for forty days.”

On Easter morning He conquered the Roman seal. He conquered Joseph’s grave. He broke forth the seal and destroyed corruption, and He rose triumphantly.

25 Here He goes up in the air with His disciples, with the Old Testament saints, goes on beyond the moon, beyond the stars, beyond the spheres and the spheres. And after while they come in sight of the city. What do you think took place?

Let’s look in the Bible and see what took place. I’m going to quote David’s prophecy. The Old Testament saints, when they see the city in sight, and Jesus at the Head of the army marching on, the Old Testament saints screamed out, “Lift up, ye everlasting gates, and be ye lifted up, and let the King of glory come in.” And all the Angels begin to gather on the top of the building.

You know, they said when Nero had conquered a city that the people fainted, and screamed, and called him a god. When Adolf Hitler went into France, he stood at the Arch of Triumph, and for hours, the whole sky was dark with airplanes, and goose-stepping soldiers…

And when Stalin come into Germany after Russia had won, how the tens of thousands of Russian soldiers crossing their legs and giving the victory salute as Stalin stood for hours. Oh, it must have been a great thing.

26 I talked not long ago to a soldier. He said, “Billy, after I’d been fighting so long, and when our ship sailed into the New York harbor…” Said, “I’d been overseas for four years. All I’d seen had been hell and death.” He said, “Some of the soldiers was crippled, some with no legs, some with no arms. They rolled us all up on the deck.”

He said, “When I seen the Statue of Liberty standing there, and I knowed I was going under her arm… Just behind there was everything that was dear to me: my mama, my father, my wife, my children.” He said, “Soldiers fell on the deck weeping.”

And if it’ll make a man out of four year’s of battle act like that to come back home, what would it be when we go under the old rugged cross, when the last battle is fought, and we’ve conquered? Oh, what a time it will be.

27 And as they hollered back to them, “Who is this King of glory?”…

And the Old Testament saints screamed, “The Lord of hosts, mighty in battle.” You know the Scriptures. The great Angel, Gabriel, must have pressed the button. Those great big doors folded back. Right under the arch of the old rugged cross went Jesus and the soldiers of the Old Testament. Right down through the streets of Jerusalem they went with Angels, singing and screaming (What a welcome home.), right down through to the great white throne. And He said, “Father, these are those that believed on You. I’ve conquered both death, hell, and the grave.”

And I can hear the Father say, said, “Set on My throne here, Son, until I made the last enemy Thy footstool.” And Jesus climbed up at the right hand of the God of heaven on His throne on high. There He stands tonight. A few hours ago:

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. (Psalm 23:1-6)

50 I’m don’t want to live in this old pesthouse that I been living in. It catches every disease floats through. I want one that’s made not with hands, fashioned after God, that—that’s not a hybrid plant like this is. I want one that’s made by the hands of God, that diseases and sickness and death goes from it. Now, whenever He summons me, I—I’m ready, by the grace of God, believing that, “When this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting,” that we move into, that can’t die from it no more.

51 How would you want to live in this? Not me. My it’s…We’re going out of it, and I’m glad of it. And this old human, germ trap that we’re living in, death trap and whatmore, is the groans and pains in it, and old age. And, why, my, who would want to stay in a body like that? I, I’m glad there is one coming. We got a body that—that’s being prepared for us, in Glory. And as soon as the life leaves this old hull here, that Eternal Spirit of God that lives within, it takes its journey into that tabernacle yonder, and there it lives Eternally. Why would we want something like this? My! Yes, sir. Oh, I—I’m so glad that, that there, that there is a God Who has made all these things plain.

52 And we look here, we see they’re just a shadow, anyhow. We are a shadow. I look here on the platform, see men that moves, and I look out on the street and see men and women that moves. They got life, but yet it cannot be real Life, because it’s death in it. And—and David said, “I’ll walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” Now, it takes so much light to make a shadow. There has to be so much light. If it’s altogether darkness, it cannot make a shadow. See? It has to be so much light, in the dark, to make it shadow. Well, now it depends on which one of those sides that you are leaning to.

53 If I see a man walking, fine-looking young man; in a few years, watch his hair turn gray and slip out, his shoulders droop down. A beautiful young girl standing, with a sainted, godly face on her, and stand and praising God; and I come back in a few years and find her stoop-shouldered, packing two or three children. Well, my, there, it shows that in that body there is death. No matter how well it is and how lovely it looks, it’s still got death in it.

54 Now I watch which a way that spirit in there leans. If it’s always representing the Light, speaking of the Light, talking of the Light, it’ll go with the Light. But if it’s always on the other side, of the world, the things of the world, influenced by the world, there is nothing but it to turn into darkness when it dies, into outer darkness. So you see, what we are, we must remember that we are only what we are by the grace of God, and none of us can brag about it. We can only bow in adoration and humility, before God, and give praise to Him for His goodness.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? (Psalm 22:1)

27 When the Lamb of God, slain from the foundation of the world, came to take the place of guilty sinners, and was mashed and bruised, and—and scoffed and made fun of, and died a death that no creature could die except God Himself, and His bloody locks hanging from His shoulders, dripping to the ground, expressed what a horrible thing that sin is, when He had to die to redeem man from a life of sin. Nothing could die like that. Nothing could stand that death. It said that, “When they pierced His side, that, there came forth Blood and water.”

28 It’s been some time ago, I was speaking to someone about this. And it was a scientist that said, “There is only one way that that could have happened. And it was not because of the Roman spear, that He died; and neither was it the loss of Blood, that He died, because there was still Blood in His body. What He died of, was not because of the Roman spear or the nails that was drove in His hands, or the thorny crown they placed on His head. But because…He died of grief, because He came to His Own and His Own received Him not. He died of a broken heart. When, He knowed the very creatures of time, that He would die to redeem, had spit in His face, and He was rejected of man.”

29 David, eight hundred years before it happened, cried with the very voice that He cried at Calvary, “My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?”

30 What a terrible thing that sin does, it separates man from God! And He was the sin offering that had to be offered for our sins. And He was separated from the Presence of God. Sin had separated Him. God placed our sins upon Him, and He was separated from God, and that’s why He cried, “Why hast Thou forsaken Me?” And because He was forsaken, and had taken this place; and seen His people, that He was come to be their Saviour and to offer them Life, they had rejected Him. And it grieved Him, so, till He was so broken-hearted until the Blood and water, and the chemicals of His body, separated.

31 Man will never know what that was. That’s the reason there could be no one else could ever die like that. I don’t care how much that you could be tormented, how that they might put your feet in stocks, or saw you, by inches, or burn you by inches; you could not die that death, because your make-up is not like that. He had to be God. He had to be, more than man. And to think, that, God died. He died of a broken heart, with such grief for the world, until a chemical reaction taken place in His body that could not take place in you. You cannot suffer like that. There is no way for you to have that kind of a grief. So there is only One could do it, and He did it.

And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. (Deuteronomy 8:2-3)

81 In other words like this, if—if you look out here…Here this morning, that’s what I’m doing. Now, sheep will only grow as you give them sheep food. Now, if you’d fry up a big hamburger and give it to a sheep, he couldn’t grow on that, ’cause, see, he don’t—that’s not sheep food. See? And—and if I would fry up or be a—have a nice T-bone steak fixed up, and give it over to a sheep, it—it’s not sheep food. He just couldn’t eat it, that’s all, because he’s a sheep. But sheep like sheep food. Well then, when you’re to feed the Flock of God, don’t feed them on some man-made theology; feed them on the Word; that’s where the sheep grow from. Feed the Word!

82 Be a shepherd, a true shepherd. “Feed My sheep.” Lamb’s is the little ones, of course, and sheep is the adult. So both young and old, feed the flock of God! See? And feed them with the Word! The Word (you see?) is the Truth! Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Is that right? So then, if man is to live and they are the flock of God, this—the church, then they are to thrive upon the Word and Manna of God. This is His Manna!

83 In the—the Bible, we just come through it over there in the—in the—in the Church Ages. Jesus is the hidden Manna; Christ is the church’s Manna. What is manna? Manna in the Old Testament was that what come down from Heaven fresh every night to sustain the church in its journey. Is that right? Now, in the New Testament what is the hidden Manna? “A little while and the world seeth Me no more (hidden); yet ye shall see Me, for I’ll be with you, even in you to the end of the world.” And Christ is that hidden Manna that comes from God out of Heaven afresh every day—every day.

84 We can’t say, “Well, two weeks ago I had a great experience of God.” What about right now? See? Every day, fresh, a new blessing, a new something coming from God, the hidden Manna coming down from God out of Heaven, Christ. And we feast upon this Manna which is Christ, and He sustains us through the journey till we reach the—the land on the other side.

And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. (Acts 9:1-5)

72 That road to Damascus changed Paul. Going down, about eleven o’clock, perhaps, in a day, that he was stricken down. And he heard a Voice, saying, “Saul, why persecutest thou Me?” And he looked up. And looking up, being a Jew, and knowed that Pillar of Fire was the Lord that led the children of Israel, because he knew that’s what It was.

73 Remember, this Hebrew would have never called anything “Lord,” capital L-o-r-d, Elohim, unless he had been satisfied that that’s what It was, because he was trained scholar. And when he looked up, and he seen This, a Light, a Pillar of Fire that had led his people through the wilderness, and he said, “Lord,” Elohim, capital L-o-r-… “Lord, Who are You?”

74 And what a surprise it must have been to this theologian, to say, “I’m Jesus,” the very One that he was so against. What a—what a turnaround! Oh! Oh! It must have been something terrific for this man, that all of his ambitions that he had, to find out, all at once, he had been persecuting. His ambitions had drove him to—to farther away from the main thing that he meant to do. And what a—a great shock it must have been, for this apostle, when He said, “I am Jesus,” the very One that he was persecuting. “Why persecutest thou Me?”

75 Another little quotation we might drop in here. You see, as they make fun of the Church, they’re not really making fun of the Church, they are making fun of Jesus. “Why persecutest thou Me?” How could Paul then, with all his intellect, believe that This was…that this Group that he was persecuting was the very God that he claimed to be serving? I think that’s, without going into details, I think we’re all well trained enough to know what I mean here. The same thing is happening today.

76 Paul, through ignorance, was yet intelligent and smart, much smarter than those uneducated Galileans that he was persecuting, that had already in their humility accepted this Man as Lord. But, Paul, in his great teaching and his intellectuals, could not accept That. And what a turnaround it must be to him, on this road. And he was stricken blind, so he would not carry out his commission, but was led down to a place in a street called Straight, and the house of one.

77 And then come the prophet down there, by the name of Ananias, who saw in a vision, him coming down, saw where he was at, went down to where he was, and went in. And said, “Brother Saul, the Lord appeared to you on the road down; sent me, that I might lay my hands upon you, and you receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost.”

78 See where he was. What a—what a thing it must have been for Paul! See? All that he had been trained to do was vice versa. So now, with—with all the education he had, it—it was just become naught to him.

79 Now, he knew that he had an experience. So here is another good lesson for us, that, experience alone isn’t enough. It’s got to be experience according to the Word of the Lord. So, him seeing this, and know that It was a great Something, then, that somebody else had received It before him, he took three years and six months down in the—the desert in Arabia; taking the—the Bible, as It was then, the Old Testament, and going down there, to—to compare this experience that he had had, and see if It was Scriptural.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:7-14)

22 While they were thinking on these things, a Stranger walked out. That’s usually…?… That’s when you want to get… When you go to thinking about Him, that’s when He appears. They were talking about Him when He appeared. And that’s the reason, maybe, He doesn’t appear to so many of us. We talk too much about other things instead about Jesus. Maybe we’re talking about trading cars, something else, or the washing, what kind of soap powder do you use, listening to the radio and some kind of nonsense. That’s the reason He doesn’t appear. If we’d just keep our minds on Him… “Let the meditation of my heart.”

He told Joshua, He said, “Meditate on these things day and night.”

David said, “I’ll bind Them on my bed post.” Sure. Let Them stay in, inside of you and think of Them, meditate upon Them. And that’s when He appears.

Do you ever notice how the Angel of the Lord comes? Of a evening at three o’clock when I go in, I close everything out, don’t let no one come in, and just set there and read the Word, and yield myself until I know He’s there. I can feel it when He’s coming. He comes in, and I know He’s there. Oh, my. That’s the way you do. That’s the way the disciples did. They were with one place in one accord in an upper room. And they were all up there praising Him. And all of a sudden He came in. That’s the way He does it.

Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Deuteronomy 5:16)

13 I’ve always been a black sheep in my family. And I was always in my church a black sheep. And it’s just recently that I have begin to come into a group of people that love me. And to that group of people, I aim to give my life in service. And I—I love them, and they love me. And all my life, I’ve been in the—a person that wanted somebody to think something of me.

Sorry to say, but my family wasn’t religious. My father was just a typical Kentucky boy up here, drank up every penny he had. And I—I hate to say those things, but what is truth is the truth, no matter if it hurts, or whether it doesn’t. If it’s dark, and it’s on me, why, it’s just on me. It’s the truth. And you be truthful and honest with God. God will bless you for it. And although my daddy did drink, and drinking’s what killed him, but no matter what he did, he’s still my daddy. And out there on his grave today, where the white snow lays, he’s still my daddy.

And let me tell you young people something, no matter what you ever do, don’t you never disregard or disobey your mother and father.

14 They got such a word today, they say, “The old man and the old woman.” One of these days, when a squeaking casket is going out the door, and they’re going out head first, and you look down to see your mother or dad at the last time you’ll ever see them on this earth, you’ll realize it’s not the “old man and old woman” then. “Honour thy father and mother, which may lengthen the days on the earth the Lord giveth you.” That’s the first commandment with promise: obeying.

I seen dad work. We lived in a little cabin up on the Utica Pike, where we moved to from Kentucky to Indiana, right on the River Road. I seen him work in the log woods for seventy-five cents a day to make a living for me, when I was too young, four or five, six years old, till his shirt would sunburn into his back. I’ve seen my mother cut the shirt from his back with a pair of scissors. I don’t care what he done; he’s my daddy. And I love him.

15 He died on my arm, his black, wavy hair laying across my arm, and his little Irish blue eyes looking up at me. Seen a white Angel standing before him; I led him to Christ just before he died. He was my dad, and he had a great respect for me. The last drink he ever taken in his life, he was standing in a little old saloon down there, wasn’t two weeks before he died. He started to… Somebody was treating him. It was during the time of depression; he was broke. They give him some drink, and he started to take it up in his hands, and he started spilling it. He tried to drink it, and it went all over his face. And they started teasing him. Before he took it, he said, “Look, fellows,” said, “I got a boy standing up there in the pulpit. That boy’s right, and I’m wrong.” He said, “Don’t let this reflect on my boy.” Said, “This is the last drop I’ll ever take in all my life.” And it was.

16 So I honor him today as my dad. It’s hard work. I remember when we went to school. I’m firmly against drinking. I remember reading of a man that was borned a hundred miles from me, a hundred years difference, in a little log cabin. His name was Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest men Kentucky ever produced, to my opinion. And Abraham Lincoln, when he got off of the boat down in New Orleans, he seen them auction some colored people off as a slave, a big heavy man. His little, poor little wife and children standing out, crying; breed him, like cattle, to bigger, heavier women to make better slaves. Lincoln, as many of you know in the history, when he folded his hands and smacked them together and said, “That’s wrong. And by the help of God, if it takes my life, I’ll hit it with all I got.” And he did.

When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. (Acts 7:54-60)

134 But Stephen walked out there, before that Sanhedrin court, like a sheep among a pack of wolves, was howling for his blood. And they accused him, and pointed accusing finger at him. What did he do? He said, “Men and brethren, God of Glory appeared to our father, Abraham, when he was yet in Mesopotamia, before he was called out.” Went ahead and brought it down, all the history of Abraham, and how that through him would bring in the Gentiles. And when he got down to a certain place…Look at him, full of the Holy Ghost. They’d, waiting, just couldn’t wait till they could get their hands on him. He said, “You stiff-necked, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost. Like your fathers did, so do you.” He was God’s advertisement board.

135 And when they stoned him to death, throwed him outside the city and beat him to death with stones, when he was dying, he raised his head to Heaven and asked forgiveness for those who was stoning him, the same as Jesus did at the cross.

136 Then, God seen His little advertisement board being taken down. Stephen looked up to Heaven, said, “Behold, I see heavens open, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.” And he fell asleep in the arms of God. He was an advertisement board for a hungry world.

137 You say, “Well, how many was there? You said there was maybe five thousand. How many of them got saved?”

138 There was one. He never accepted it right then, but years later. Hallelujah! Somewhere, your influence never dies. There was one held the coat, Saul, that young Pharisee standing there, consulted and give witness to his death. But when he saw that advertisement of the Power of the resurrected Christ in that little fellow, it never got away from him. That same man, Paul, that one standing there that morning, led tens of thousands of souls to Christ, because one man was willing to give his life to be an advertising board for Jesus Christ.

139 What ought we to do today? No matter, we don’t have to have big audiences. We don’t have to preach to ten thousand. We don’t have to even preach. We can be God’s advertisement board. How do you know that your life might not start some young man on the Gospel? Some of you older men, see old women, start some young man on the field out there, would win ten thousand souls to Christ, is because that he saw Christ in you, that you presented Christ to him, in the simple Power of the Gospel. Yes.

O Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. (Deuteronomy 3:24-27)

54 The reason that you hear me say sometimes, get the people say, “Believe me.” See? Now, the reason I say that is not believe me as Him. Certainly not, certainly. It’s to believe that I have told you the truth that He has sent me to do this. Now, see when that Angel met me, he said, “If you can get the people to believe you.” See? “If you get the people to…”

Peter and John passed through the gate called Beautiful, said, “Look on us.” Is that right? And Elijah when the—all of them had come down there and got him kindly all stirred up, he said, “If it wasn’t I respected this righteous man, Jehoshaphat, I wouldn’t even look at you.” See?

55 How many knows that you can—you could send your soul to hell with a Divine gift? Sure, you can. You have to watch what you’re doing. How many believe Moses was God’s prophet? Say, “Amen.” He was God’s prophet, but do you know what he done? God told him to go down there and speak to the rock. The rock was already smitten. Is that right? Instead of Moses doing what God told him to do, he went down and smote the rock again. Is that right?

Well, that absolutely broke the entire Scripture right in two, right there. Christ wasn’t smitten twice. He was smitten once. We just speak to Him from now on. Is that right?

But when Moses smote the rock, that broke God’s complete program and it was—he had done exactly what God told him not to do. See? But he could do it anyhow, whether it was God’s will or not. That seems strange, doesn’t it? But it wasn’t God’s will, but he was a prophet. He could do whatever he wished and what his power would permit him to do.

But what did God do then? He dealt with Moses and kept him from going over in the promised land. Is that right? Took him upon a hill and said, “Here it is.” Let him look at the promised land, passed him out, let the Angels come take him away and bury him.

56 You have to… Look at Elijah. That young prophet was bald-headed, and them little children teasing him about being bald-headed. Said, “Thou bald head. Thou bald head. Why didn’t…”

You know what he said? That prophet turned around and put—cursed those children and said, “Cursed be,” I suppose in the Name of the Lord, and before those little children returned into the city, two she bears killed forty-two of them little innocent children. Is that Scripture? Poor little innocent children, but an angered prophet. Better be careful what you’re doing. See? That’s right.

So that’s the way it is here. I want to see what you’re doing before you put a curse a disease… What if God had put something on a person, or permitted Satan to do it, and you and I would come around with a Divine gift and take it off before God’s will was accomplished? Then God will deal with me. See? Have to be careful.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. (Psalm 16:9-11)

416 And now, remember that, when He died, He went first and preached to the souls that wasn’t in prison…that was in prison, and witnessed that He was “the Seed of the woman.” He was “the One that Enoch saw coming with ten thousands of His saints.” He had to witness the Scriptures that had been preached by Noah, and by Enoch, and by the righteous, that “He was that One.” Everything had to recognize It!

417 Then He ascended into hell, and received the keys of death and hell from the devil.

418 Come back up into Paradise; and brought Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the righteous; and raised (Matthew 27), and they come out of the grave and entered into the city, and appeared to the people along the street. Hallelujah! There you are!

419 Now, but his body…While His soul was over here witnessing to the lost, down here taking the keys from the devil, and coming back and bringing Abraham and Isaac; His soul was laying in the…His soul was down there doing it, and His body was laying in the grave. That’s the reason Jesus said…People say, “Well, why does Jesus say, ‘Three days, I’ll raise it up. Three days I’ll raise.’? He—He died on Friday afternoon, raised up on Sunday morning.”

420 But watch, it was “within three days,” if you’d get the lexicon. For He knew that David, under the anointing (of the anointing of the Holy Spirit), said, “I will not suffer my Holy One to see corruption.” He knowed that pertained to Him. He knowed that meant Him. He was God’s Holy One, and He knew that corruption sets in in seventy-two hours. Somewhere within them three days, He was coming out of there again, because the Scriptures cannot be broken.

421 And every promise in There pertains to me and pertains to you, it’s ours!

422 He said, “You destroy this body, and I’ll raise it up in three days.” For He said, “I’ll not leave My soul in hell, neither will I suffer My Holy One to see corruption.”

423 He knowed, in three days that body was coming out of there. He didn’t stay the three full days. No, sir, He certainly did not. He stayed just from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning, not one cell of that body could be corrupted.

424 And He was dead, and embalmed, and was laying…or wrapped in cloth, and laid into a tomb. In that hot, boggy country, just take a few hours and He go to corrupting. You go to morti-…mortifying, you know, his body, his nose dropping in and things, corruption sets in; that hot, damp country. And it would’ve went to corrupting, because it was a body. But He knowed, before that cell corrupted, that God said through David the prophet, “I’ll not suffer My Holy One to see corruption.”

425 How He took the Word of God and lived by It! Now, every one of them promises in there that pertained to Him, God fulfilled every one of them. And every promise that pertains to the believer, God will fulfill every promise of It. Amen. Just rest assure that It’s the Truth. Amen. So, His soul…
