Mystery Circle-Revelation Stars (Part 1) Neal Frisby’s Sermon CD #733 4-29-79 (AM)
Oh, you are happy to be here today. You believe Jesus is going to bless your heart? I really believe He is, don’t you? Alright, I’m going to ask Him to really move on you. You know, I believe we’ve got satan on the run, don’t you believe that? Alright, them weeds, they can’t tie this down, can they? That’s for sure. That’s a great blessing to know that, can you say amen? Troubles all over the world, different people in trouble everywhere and today, if you are in this service here and you love God, there is not any better place in the world. He will watch after you, I know that. Alright, now Lord, we know and I feel the Cloud of God is over this place. I really feel you are here this morning and to bless your people too, without even, possibly even touching them by myself. You and that great power is settling in here this morning. Help anybody that’s new, Lord. Bless their hearts together here and whatever they need from you, let them be a different person this morning. I really believe my prayer is answered too, confident in the Lord Jesus. Oh, praise God!
Now, I don’t know how He will leave me tonight. Go ahead and be seated. We’ve had so many, this series, you see, that He’s been involved in. Actually, the three church age series and the different scrolls that are coming are all in a series that I can’t do at one time. And then when that series is over, it will pass over into something else, and it’s been these series that I’ve been preaching on.
If you’ve been watching, you will see after another couple sermons and scrolls how the series works all together at the same time. But tonight, I don’t know how He will move on me to pray for the sick, but if He does, I will. But I do know this, that next Sunday I will have a special healing service again. And then all who are sick will be able to come up on this platform and be prayed for. And we believe that we will see miracles from God. And I believe that people will come and be healed by the Lord and be saved. We had about, I don’t know how many were saved the last time I’d done that, by the Holy Spirit.
1.Now, this morning, I believe it’s the most vital message and an interesting message, too. And at first thought, a while back while I was on this, actually, some of this was coming before the church ages, but He went ahead and went into the church ages, and we were talking about all of that. And what it’s bringing out is the dragon seed and the Lord’s seed. You know, it is given in the book of Revelation 12. And what it’s trying to do is to bring out the two seeds and where we are at, the Lord told me, well, quite a while back, He said, “Now, when you bring in those messages, He said, the children of this world are going to torment, if they can, torment you in one way or the other.” And this morning, I told my wife, I said, “you know, satan just seems to be on the prowl.” God gave me these messages, and you can feel Him, you know. And then, sure, and then afterwards, sure, certain events took place. But, you know, he will try, he can’t get right to me because I keep away to where satan can’t reach me very easily. But what he will do is get as close as he can. And if you are listening to these messages this morning, well, he will try his best to take a shot at you. Can you say amen? And sometimes it will come from people that you least expect it. So be on guard because satan, one thing he doesn’t like, he doesn’t care if you work a few miracles or miracles or something like that, but don’t expose him. When you expose him, you better put on the full armor because he is the kind that he snaps back. Can you say amen? If you’ve got tremendous power, well, he will really get loose from you pretty quick, but not without him taking a swat at you like that. And I really believe it too. And so, satan is satan. And so in bringing this out, you get the incorrigible seed stirred up. You can’t do anything for him, never will be to do anything for him because that’s scripture, it’s predestination. But the fact is, there is the seed of the woman, the seed of the dragon, and so forth in there. And then going into this revealing the seed that the apostles brought out, you stir up the devil, you expose him in all that he, how that he comes like Christ. He comes like a religion many times and that’s where he does his deadly work. And when you begin to expose him through those church ages and then bring it out how that seed operates and acts sometimes like the real seed, you know, out there and leads the people off in those systems in different ways to the antichrist, then satan don’t like that because you are cutting him off and you are exposing his plans. And when you do, well, he doesn’t like it.
2.So leading into these messages and the ones we’ve done beforehand, they will all fit together. And we’ve been talking about a kind of satanic, the immorals, different things like that that satan has done, bringing those all out. But today we are involved in this and it’s Mystery Circle -The Revelation Stars. It has to do with the inner circles of God. I told you the other day I was going to get to that, the wheels of God. It has to do with the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ and the attendants. And you are dealing with the sun-clothed woman, and we are dealing today into God’s people. And then tonight we will get into why there’s such a turmoil, why there’s such a push to keep the birth from coming forth. So, today is different. Today what we are going to preach about, we will show you about the dragon. And we will show you tonight some things that you will want to know about. So listen real close. Pull yourself together and God will bless you. It’s called the Mystery Circle and the Revelation Stars. Even from the very beginning, God was talking to us about that. And so you remember, and God has, and I can prove it here, that even when Gideon had 30,000, there was a circle, an inner circle. God did not use those 30,000 like He did the 300 inner circle of Gideon. And we find out in the heavens when it first started, He has the closer ones. And even around His throne, I will get into this in a minute. He’s kind of leading me away from what I had. But around His throne He has what you call a circle close to Him and then the rest stand back from that, the others stand back from that. It’s kind of like military control, but it’s different and the Bible calls it His armies in heaven. Nebuchadnezzar said, “And who can stop them.” The way that He does things, the angels are ranked, they are in different powerful positions, and each one knows their position. They do not argue with one another either, but they know what they are called to do. And the elect should not argue with one another because one day they will be positioned like angels. They will have jobs. They will have jobs. I know that. And so we have the mystery circle and the revelation stars, but in that throne they were close.
3.One time, satan was in that circle and God cast satan out of that circle and then later he thought to get back in the circle, which was a negative way by Adam and Eve, they had their own little circle in the garden there. That was God’s inner circle among the first born in there and satan tried to get in that inner circle. But later at the cross, God cast him back out of there. So, the Lord has it around Him and even in the Bible. So, He has the closer ones as they spread out from Him in heaven. And the same upon earth and the same when we get there, He is going to have that. Now satan is cast out of that circle, he had to leave there. I saw him fall like lightning, Jesus said. Now if Jesus saw him fall like lightning and He was talking to the Pharisees at that time, then Jesus had to preexist before He was talking to them. They couldn’t understand that. Well, satan was cast out and we don’t know how many thousands of years before that. But yet, Jesus stood there about 30-something years old and he said, I saw satan fall like lightning and there he was, not yet 50 years old. In fact, they told Him that one time there. How did He see him fall like lightning if He hadn’t preexisted before that time? How many of you are still with me now? There He was at 30. So, we know that the Holy Spirit that was in Jesus is eternal there, only the body He came in, later it was glorified back.
4.But anyway, satan was cast out of there, leaving Adam and Eve in that circle. Now watch this close. There was an inner circle of eight souls with Noah and then the outer circle was destroyed away from there. Abraham was in the inner circle of God, but Lot was in the outer circle, and he was saved as it was by fire when he was brought out of there. And so, we see that God numbers and God times. And I mean during this June, possibly getting the prophetic numbers of the Palmoni, when you get in that Rainbow Angel, He will begin to time things and we will see what the seasons are and how that God is moving. All these are leading up to something as the Lord shows me, I will write them down on paper there. So, everything is numbered and it’s timed and you can find it in the Bible. In a moment, I will give you some scriptures on that. But first, I want to show you it is a prophetic circle. And you will start to read this in Psalms 45 verses 7, 9, 11, about 13 through 15, somewhere in there. Psalms 45, the bride is the point of the inner circle, but He has others that surround it. And you see, it’s like when the bride stands by the Lord, then out is the attendants and they sort of stand back in awe. That’s exactly right, He’s dramatic! Those others are beautiful too. The bride is right close, standing at His right hand. The rest are not there, they are attendants. They spread back. They are standing in awe of the bride and the bridegroom. How many of you can say, amen? See how He does that? They will be different dimensions. The bride is in a dimension of light. The attendants or the virgins will also be in another type of light. The Hebrews will be considered in another light. They will be existing at the same time, but in several different worlds, but yet around the Lord. That’s the way He does it. They are dimensions to God.
5.This is quite deep for some of you, but I happen to have the Holy Spirit showing me how He is going to do that and you will see that bride, she will be there. That bride is so close to Him, she is just like Him. Right wherever He goes, she goes, and the others fall back in awe in another dimension. They can’t get quite in that dimension because they’ve been allotted another dimension. And so we are there around one another while we are in different lights in God’s glories. Oh, He is beautiful like a rainbow! How many of you know there are dimensions to the rainbow in colors and there are dimensions to different things in stars, and there are circles out in space and so forth? Well, He is trying to show us something in wheels within wheels and the church within the church and when we get on down through here, you will understand it. But in this chapter, we will lay the foundation for tonight’s message because it’s a two-part message and we will get it here. Psalms 45, now, in this chapter, the prophet David, he probably didn’t know quite all what he was prophesying, but he knew part of it anyway. This chapter 45, it is similar to Revelation 12 because in this chapter 45, it has different women. It has the queen that sits by His side and the king’s daughter and the virgins that carry there. You see the three different types of people there. It’s like the sun-clothed woman. You have the crown of 12 stars, Israel’s leaders and you have the sun-clothed woman as the church of the ages, church Israel. The moon springs out on the foot, sits in the heavenly and the earthly there before the rapture. So it’s the same as this here. Psalms 45, we will read part of this. Tonight, we will get on the sun-clothed woman and we will read to see where this dragon seat is and where the woman’s seat is and what happens here. And so we will read how the anointing works as we begin to read, Psalm 45:7, “Thou lovest righteousness and hatest wickedness; therefore God, thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Now, the bride will be anointed above thy fellows just like Jesus when He came with the apostles. That’s what it’s trying to say here.
6.And then it says here in Psalm 45:9, “King’s daughters were among thy honorable women; and upon thy right hand did sit the queen in the gold of Ophir.” Now, in the book of Revelation, the sun-clothed woman is like a queen standing there. She is wrapped up in golden sun. Here it says that she is in the gold of Ophir. See him showing that? And there it stands right there and we will get on down through here. So it’s almost the same thing there. Howbeit, this could even be Israel nearly there and the church Israel because the way He does it, see, there are two identities. But one would not be perfect without the other. The Gentile church, the aspect came in about 54 AD when the Apostle Paul turned and a little bit before that was Peter, but they sanctioned it, I believe it was, about the time that Paul turned and henceforth no more to the Jews. And the Israelite church, it just went on away from God into blindness. But the Gentile aspect did not come until then and then the Gentile church began to come into there. And so we see that although Israel has different identities with the other, they are both in the hands of God and the pattern of God and one would not be perfect without the other. He has a definite reason for bringing Israel after all that time and blinding them, bringing back in the church, the Gentile church. That started there and the Israelite church faded away, and the Gentile church came in there. Then at the end, He will graft a certain amount of Israelites back into the tree that He said in there. So they both work together. And so as we see down through here, the prophet is trying to get them all in here. So, we will go down here to Psalm 45:13, “The king’s daughter is all glorious within.” Now this could be another one there. “Her clothing is wrought in gold.” Now remember Revelation 12. “And she shall be brought before the king in raiment of needlework.” Now there are two mentioned there. Now listen to this, The virgins, her companions, that’s those tribulation ones later. “Her virgins, her companions, that follow her shall be brought unto thee.” See, they follow her afterwards. They are in awe of the bride. “And with gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.” And so we see the different groupings there similar to the sun-clothed woman as the prophet was trying to show us God’s circle. There was an inner circle on the right hand. There was a king’s daughter. There was a queen, the king’s daughter, then there were the virgins that followed in there.
7.We find in Matthew 25; there was a midnight cry of the bride. There was the wise that shook themselves, woke up in there. There was a foolishness that was shed out that time. There was a great tribulation in chapter 7 of Revelation, that shows you they come as the sands of the sea. God is showing us all of this. Even though they come later, they account to Him as His children. He knows what He is doing. But the incorrigible seed, watch the dragon. Watch how one pushes against the other ever since in the days of the garden when he stood there to devour. Tonight, we will get on the dragon some. We will also get on why and how that things have been happening on the earth and right here in this building how God has been moving. And why there is such a struggle for the birth of that travailing, and the birth of that child that’s coming forth to rule the nations with a rod of iron and why that satan has put everything in his power to try to thwart that from coming. You have to admit to yourself, not only here but everywhere else there’s a struggle for that real thing to pop out of there, but God’s Holy Spirit is going to bring it out, brother! It’s coming out of there! That is chapter 45 of Psalms there. Then they cast off the serpent seed, you see, the old false vine, it is cast completely out of that chapter. He is not even mentioned in there. Then in Revelation 12 the sun-clothed woman depicts the Gentile church. It depicts Israel too and it shows the same many degrees and dimensions that we just spoke about in the Psalms 45 here. They are called the royal stones (1 Peter 2: 4& 9). A peculiar, mysterious people, royal line, Peter said, to the Headstone, the very royal stones of God, connected to the sun-clothed woman with the moon under her foot. You see how prophetic it is, future!
8.And then in Revelation 12, you have the stars, the seeds in those stars in His hand going to those churches there. And the seeds found in the sun-clothed woman that we have there, in her is the church of the ages, Gentile, Israel. And then you see the dragon stands to devour ever since Eden there. There are seven heads on the beast in Revelation 13 that stood before the woman. Since the first ancient kingdom of Egypt and the Mesopotamian kingdom even before Nimrod, even in the garden, it has tried to devour the good seed of the woman. We know it comes from the male [seed] though, but spiritually He speaks of it in this manner here. It stood there, that dragon’s seed has stood there to devour, but the Bible said at the end of the age, in chapter 12, it speaks of the past, present and future, but definitely future, the whole chapter. The Lord Himself told me so. He is pushing, there’s coming forth a travailing in that time there. Ever since the ages, the devil, not knowing when or what has tried to push and to stop that very thing, but it’s coming and you can see it coming and it is travailing now. The problems that are in the church, the different things that satan is using, all around the country and around the world. Evangelists falling on the left side and the right side, using different tactics and things that are not working in the long run and will not work. But in between all of that to cover it all up, He will have a people, a faith people of the true seed. They will spring forth, I really believe that. Do you believe that this morning? Now we’ve been talking about those other church ages, how satan got in there. But today, if you will listen, you will find, there is a position when we get to it because we are going into a circle–and so it’s a predestined circle. It’s a great predestined circle. And we will get in and show you and we will show you exactly in Romans and in the book of Revelation. You can see the dragon seed also in Revelation 17. Now Genesis 37:9, where he [Joseph] saw the sun, the moon, and the stars and they made respect unto him, an obeisance unto him. What he saw was similar to the church Israel right there. Joseph was symbolic of Christ as it all would come to him at the end of the age and also in Egypt, they did come to him like that. And I will touch on that some tonight as we get to that.
9.And then everything that God does, every hair on your head is numbered. Everything that He does is numbered in time, perfectly in order. Now not all little bitty events are all predestinated, but the major events that God has that causes this world to turn and come unto Him, one way into heaven and the other way into destruction. Those major events have already been categorized. They’ve already been put together, and He knows exactly what the steps are going to be and He has made provision for the church. And you talk about power, Shekinah power, He is going to give it to the church and at the right moment. We are going to get ready and behold, she makes herself ready. Can you say amen? Sure. We watch and see how it works. It’s going to work in such a way that it will just work right in there and fold together. And then the first thing you know the world doesn’t know anything about it, and God’s got His church in that circle and she’s gone up there! Up there in Ecclesiastes 3, it tells about the timing of things. In Matthew 10:30, it tells about the very hairs of your head being numbered. And there’s definitely different degrees in the groups. The bride is the closest, to be in that group is the prize that Paul talked about, to be near Jesus, all eternity, is indeed the prize. How many of you know that? These are some quotations that I wrote myself here in the Holy Spirit, the bride class is the most, is in the innermost circle. You know, it speaks about it in several places in the bible how this is going to come. I have a little something. That Lord led me to this writing; I will read it to you. There’s a special dimension that will come to the bride in faith and that dimension is coming. What you see, how He operates on me will get stronger and stronger upon the congregation as their bodies can handle it or take it, but their faith will increase. But the incorrigible seed, never mind about them, brother, they are going to be taken somewhere in the world and put in a spot where they will be worshiping the antichrist. But He’s got real seeds and people there. But there is a great thing and a dimension that we are going to. I really believe this with all of my heart. Now in Job, it spoke of that place in chapter 28 verse 7 and often you’ve heard me speak about it. “There is a path which no fowl knoweth.” No devil or incorrigible seed and stay there. “And which the vulture’s eye hath not seen. How many of you see it right here where we are? Where the vultures don’t know and it says here. How many of you are still with me here? The fowl don’t know anything about it. See, boy, He’s got that path! And the old boy [Job] suffered in all of his sufferings to bring this forth for the church at the end of the age too and for his people. And there is a path which no fowl knoweth, which the vultures have not seen. And many Christians do not know this and the prophet put it above all rubies, diamonds and all of the beautiful emeralds, the gold and whatever you would have in this path, if you could find it. The reason you know why they can’t find it and will not stay or cannot find it, and when they look at it, they cannot see, because He will lead the ones to find it with spiritual eyes, not with the natural eye. Are you still with me now? Only those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High. Oh, me!. Psalm 91.
10.Now in Psalms 91, there’s a secret place. There’s a path. It’s under the Shadow of the Wings of the Almighty. It’s in praising the Lord. It’s in knowing just how to approach God. It’s just how you get there. The bride does. Remember the qualifications of faithfulness to God, but not only that, in all that you do. Get that sermon [Qualifications] because it was leading up to this one right here. So, Psalms 91, every believer should carefully study this chapter. You should study it because there’s secrets all through there. In fact, even in that chapter, it shows you that there’s safety even during the tribulation if the people know how to get a hold of God. David spoke about the great pestilence that’s in there at that time, its atomic radiation, desolation but it shows how God’s hand is with His people there. It’s got many secrets on how you can fight demons and devils and just what you are supposed to be there. It speaks of the highest plateau in a Christian experience and it’s only open to those who have ears to hear and the spiritual eyes to see these things. It’s the advanced lessons of faith. And if you’ve entered that realm, you are going to get in there to where you can make the devil move on out and you can bring on God. You can bring the Lord closer to you. Are you still with me now? Listen to this, in that realm you will rise above many of the petty annoyances and anything that troubles you, the little problems that aggravate you when you get in that ninety-first Psalm. And you get in Job chapter 28 verse 7 and you get in that, these little petty things and those problems, the problems of life, you begin to rise above them. Somehow you have something different and thus you are released and you are released for greater advances, and God can then begin to use you. Once that you rise above, against the negative spirits, and you rise above the little arguments, and the annoyances, and the petty things of this life, and you begin to rise up on that plateau, Psalm 91 and Job 28:7, you begin to rise. Then you are advancing into a dimension that God can use you. Then you can speak and things can happen. No longer can the things of this life keep you down and tie you down. Paul said, each day, he said, “I die out to those things and when I talk, the devil listens and moves on. Can you say amen? You are advancing on them. But as long as you let this one push at you and that one and these little annoyances get a hold of you, you will never have the Christian walk of a high dimension with God. I’m telling you the secrets of the Lord. And both of those, Job chapter 28 and verse 7 and Psalm 91, if you can get that to work, you are moving, you are advancing and going on over.
11.I’ve got a little something I want to read here. The Lord led me to this writing, and it was very good that’s why I’m putting it in here. “There are workers in the vineyard. There are some that are slothful, there are some that are negligent in their Christian calling, you know, haphazard, they don’t really care. They are too casual in their whole way of life and are apt to resent any pressures that will disturb their comfortable routine.” How often have we said this? You know, it’s like saying this, don’t shake the apple cart today in the service in some of those churches. You know, I am going to preach just what I want to. I’m talking about great organizations, and I don’t say that smartly. I just say that, full of love because I can’t see anybody telling me any other way to preach what God gives me. If anybody gives me anything to preach [besides] what God gives me, then I will quit and let them preach, sure. I don’t want to preach that bad. You see, only the Lord told me. That’s why I’m called. If I called myself, I probably wouldn’t preach, but God called me, but I’m happy to do what He told me to do because I know that the only thing that’s going to count is to obey the Lord and to be caught away. I’ve seen evangelists today, listening to my friends that I’ve known for years. I’ve seen more than four or five of them just lately, in some of the most severe trouble you’ve ever seen in your life. And I told the Lord, How in the world can they get so blind that they just staggered off into that trouble? It’s like they are looking for trouble creating their own problems. I prayed about it and the Lord said, “You know what’s troubling them?” He said, “They won’t preach my word, so I’m not going to give them any rest. They are either going to preach it now or I’m going to separate them and they’re going in another direction.” You watch and see. If you hold with the Word, God’s hand will be with you. There’s four or five of those I’ve known for years. They respect my ministry. They know God’s with me, they know that. They don’t understand the trail that I take and why I preach like I do. They want more in the world, in crowds, more of the finance, more of these things and they never keep it. They just go for this and go for that, but at the same time, they think that’s God’s real way out there. That wouldn’t be so bad if they tried to get to those people out there, but when you leave out the Word to do it, it’s not going to really work. You’re going to have to go over with another section finally. I really believe this. If I can reach, like nobody else in reaching the nominals, but see, they have to come my way. Even if they don’t stay, they have to come into the way that I am. I will go and help those people all that I can, but I’m not going to leave the Word. I’m going to carry the fire with me and that’s going to stay with me. Can you say amen? That’s right.
12.But you see, they get in a comfortable routine, the churches. They don’t want to upset the congregation. See, the congregation, they are giving just right, they are satisfied. They don’t want to get anything better. They have God and they say, “I don’t want anymore.” They told the Lord and He is standing outside knocking there. So, the same thing here today around the world and the country here, the preachers are computed to be just like they want them. See, God hasn’t got a chance to really preach what He wants to preach. So therefore, He has to take one out of season like Paul. Even the disciples were getting kind of on the wayside. He reached over and got the apostle down there, he didn’t go up there [Jerusalem] for 13 years, and God, the Lord held him back. Then he said “When I went up, I didn’t go because of myself, but I went up by divine revelation, God sent me up there.” He didn’t want to go up there; God sent him up there. And so he went out of season, and he began to talk to each one of them. And there was the Lord coming back with a light on Paul, he was setting the church back in order again as he came forth through there. They had become comfortable. They had become a routine. They had reverted back into some of their ways. Peter had set aside, wouldn’t mix with the Gentiles at all and yet, God had called him to them. Paul came up there and corrected him there, “And I withstood him to his face” (Galatians 2: 11) and I talked to him right there, Paul said, and told him about it. There was a sort of slack and Peter was bad at that. And so Paul came up there and evidently, there was great love for Paul because with his pen, he helped Peter write those books and of course, he became his friend real quick. So, God knows how to do things. Because he also had great influence, Peter did, but Paul said it didn’t mean anything kind of clockwise to me, I added to them and not them to me (Galatians 2:6). Now that’s strange that he could say that and they walked with the Lord too, but God pulled one out of season and sent him at the right time to that circle. Can you say amen? He knows what He is doing. So when they were getting comfortable, Paul came along and sort of shook up, woke up the apple cart and got them all straightened around there again.
13.Now, others are too disorganized to win the race. In other words. They don’t really get themselves together, you know, they let the least little old wind or bird come by and pick the seed right out. They hear one message, in three days, they can’t tell you which way or what’s going on. Don’t be that. I know you are not going to remember forever, but at least you know something is occurring and it is happening there. And so, they never get things together and they will never secure the prize that the apostles strove for. But they lag behind and they will learn too late that their golden opportunity has been lost forever. See, they are saved but saved as by fire. See, they don’t have anything. They are just barely saved in there; their reward is diminished and are destined to spend eternity in the outer circle, not in the inner circle. So do men in their lifetime determine their destiny, what’s it going to be? The inner circle or the outer circle? Predestination will prove it all. But let me tell you, as long as I have a free will and as long as I am able to believe in the Word of God, I am going to strive and see what the Lord will do with me. Can you say, amen? Boy, Paul said, try for the prize! Even if you don’t make it, brother, you’ve got something good. Can you say, amen. God doesn’t like anybody slothful. Get in the race and stay in the race there. Isn’t this beautiful how God has things here?
14.Back to my message, I’ve got one more thing here. Now we see that you must get in the race and you must win that prize. That prize is [to be] as close to Jesus as you can get, right up next to Him and to spend it in eternity. That close, brother, that is a reward! And there is a difference. Now we’re going to get into that in a moment. But there is a difference there and so Paul spoke about that prize. To be nearest to Jesus and to spend eternity is what the bride class is all about. Amen. Now listen to it real close. And so we begin to come into this as God begins to lead us into this, we begin to see from the very earliest of time, around the throne was the inner circle and from there the other angels went out. See, the cherubims and the seraphims were up higher. The seraphims are on, I believe, on top, then the cherubims were there. Sometimes they say the seraphims and the cherubims are the same. They have what they call a teraphim of some sort that they have there too, but it’s not plain in the scriptures just exactly. But we are getting into where the Lord is in there and it’s the inner circle. And satan was right at the top of that circle. So, in the very beginning He begins to show us that He has different ways. He has the seraphim, satan was right involved above that. He had the cherubim. Then He has the angels ranked on each side of Him there and then they spread out. And so when we go back, the bride will be right there. You watch and see. So from there all the way down through Eden to Noah, He had these all through the church ages and everywhere that He went He had this. Now listen to me real close and I’ll try to bring this the best, I’ve got some scriptures to bring here, and I want to bring them here, listen to me close. Now to be in this coveted class is the inner circle. It’s the one that Paul and the apostles and those that they wrote about. It is the very supreme effort. It is to put everything that you’ve got behind it; that’s the way he taught it. And today, the church doesn’t see it. They just walk around and say, “I am saved, filled full of the Holy Ghost, so therefore, I’m going up.” But don’t you want to be positioned? Don’t you want the prize of the Lord? Don’t you want to make sure that you’re doing what Jesus wants you to do? How many of you can say, amen? Get behind it with everything that you have, and God will bless your heart. Now there will be an inner circle in Jesus’ coming kingdom.
15.Now this is an illustration I’m going to do here. This will sort of solve it for you. This is an illustration of how He does things. He showed us upon the earth when He was working, no one noticed what He was doing, but He was making these circles and if you will watch it’s infinite nearly. They won’t be this many because some of these that I’m going to talk about will wind up in two or three classes of people. But yet He showed us what He was doing and it’s an illustration here. And even while He was upon the earth, there was an inner circle in Christ’s kingdom. First there was a multitude who listened to His words, and they rejoiced at His miracles. Now not all the multitude because they turned against Him and left, but there were those that were in the multitude, most of whom never understood the spiritual meaning of His teaching, that’s John 6: 24, 60 & 66 there. Even though they rejoiced in His miracles and they got to see the great acts and they heard Him speak and they would be part of a large following that He had there, they never really understood what He was talking about. That’s one class of people there. Some of those would be chosen somewhere down the line, but not many. Then there were the 500 believers who followed Him the whole way and were counted worthy of witnessing Him in His resurrection glory (1 Corinthians 15:16). I believe there were 500 that witnessed Him after the resurrection at that time and they were counted worthy to see that. Now watch as He drops down. Of these there were 120 who were so devoted to Him that they obeyed His command to tarry in Jerusalem until they were filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1: 4 & 5) and then Acts 2, the first part of the chapter. And among these 120 there was a smaller circle of 70 disciples who had gone forth in active ministry in the harvest field (Luke 10: 1& 2). And still there was a more intimate group were His 12 apostles who had forsaken all to follow Him and whom He ordained to become special leaders of the church. That’s Matthew 19: 27- 29. And then finally, there was the innermost circle of all, Peter, James and John. He took these three alone on top of Mount Transfiguration in Matthew 17 in the bible. He appeared to those three like He didn’t to all the rest of them, His face was altered, became like lightning and the glory of the Lord was all over Him and a voice spoke out. And there’s the inner circle. And then he said, “Oh it’s good for us three to just stay here and be in this inner circle here.” He [Peter] was talking to Jesus that way at that time. And another time He brought them into a room with Him, and He raised the daughter of Jairus (Luke 8:51) and there were other occasions that we know about.
16.See how He drew down from the multitude? He came on down to the 500 that got to see Him go away. There were 120 that went into the upper room. There was the 70 that He sent out to do His work there and it just kept breaking down to the 12 apostles and then to the three. Now, He is showing us something there, in heaven some of those will meet in the same groups. But in heaven He has one standing back from the other, the bride, like I say, the attendants are in awe. And tonight we will get to this better. This is a foundation. How many of you are beginning to see how He is going to do things? Sure, He is going to do that! If you like to be in the head or the front, if you feel God in your soul, if I were you, I would go for the prize because it’s the best thing that you can do there. And so there was an innermost circle within the inner circle and thus it will be in the world to come. Revelation 14: 1-5, tells us there will be a special company in heaven limited in number. Now, what is that in Revelation 14? It has dumbfounded ministers. They can’t figure it out because over here in Revelation 7, the 12 tribes are numbered, and they are down sealed for the great tribulation. But here in Revelation 14, some said that is the same group, but it’s not. In Revelation 14, they stood on Mount Sion, and they had no guile and they had the Father’s Name, that’s the Lord Jesus Christ written on their foreheads. There were 144,000 of them too, which no one knows anything about, but they are the innermost circle in there. However, you look at it, they couldn’t be the Jews because in the same chapter they are down below going through the tribulation because it says the mark of the beast is being issued. Yet these were called up above the 144,000 [Jews]. There’s no time for the Jews to be there at that time. They are sealed upon the earth with Moses and Elijah in chapter 11 going through the great tribulation, yet they’re sealed away in there. So, there are special groups in here that God’s got. We do know this. There is the voice, the bride. There is the wise, somehow that spins in there close and part of that. There’s the foolish, they go through great tribulation. Matthew 25 will show you the difference there and Revelation 7. And then you have the Hebrews, you’ve got 144,000. There’s another group of the circle that’s there, and you have what we call Israel, there is a church that is Israel. Then you have the false seed of Israel which is pushed back; they are the seed of the dragon, don’t go in there. But you have the 144,000 which are there. Then you have all that call upon the name of the Lord. There’s another seed somehow that does not take the mark of the beast that flees or another that God calls in. So, it’s like a fan, He knows what He is doing. And during the great tribulation, He does bring forth them as the sands of the sea.
17.Yet, He has called up a bride to Himself because that work is so vital and so valuable. They’re not just called up just because He wants to do that, but they are a trained group of people, they’ve got a special job. They are called first and He has many reasons. Yes, they loved Him and He had a reason for bringing them up there and they don’t go through the great tribulation. He has another job for those that go through, they give their life and their blood and their testimony. How many of you are still with me now? It’s kind of hard in here this morning preaching it, but I will tell you, it’s the truth. Everything I’m telling you is the truth here and so it’s clear. That number, and they follow the Lamb, it says in Revelation 14, they follow the Lamb wherever He goeth. Now, whether anybody ever figures out what group that is, it makes no difference. They are in the inner circle and follow Him wherever He goeth. There’s only one other class of people that follow Him wherever He goeth and that’s the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. And then there’s the wise attendants, and then there’s the foolish, and then there’s the Hebrews. See how that fans out? It’s thus saith the Lord in here that He has His groups like that and they come to a fine point, a Capstone, and they reach that fine point and when it comes just to where He wants it, He is going to call them away. Can you say amen? You know, when you get into these seeds and you deal in these positions and you begin to get them like that, satan once had a position, he’s been cast from that position, you see. And even today, if you bring [a message] that the people of God have positions with the Lord, that’s what he is trying to fight. That’s what all the trouble has been about upon the earth, everything that he has caused to do, that is why if he can only keep back the prize, that is, God’s choice, that is the apple of God’s heart. It’s the apple of His eye. If he can keep that back, but he has been thwarted. But being that God is not only infinite, but He is Sovereign and it’s by faith in God. Whether satan can believe it or not, I believe it and know it, to a foregone conclusion, they will come forth and it’s almost there for them to be born and He is getting them ready. They will be born. It’s going to be a class and it’s going to be power. That’s going to be all. It’s going to be queenly. It’s going to be royal. It’s going to be God. It will be suffering. It will be tested, but God will be in the middle of the thing, that’s what counts. He’s going to be in the middle of the camp and the Lord’s people are going to glorify Him! That’s right. So, we see here, it involves a full surrender, a full dedication. You have to have full concentration too. Everything you possess spiritually, mentally, and whatever that you can give in any other way that you got. You’ve got to put your whole thing behind it and then the Lord will bless you. I really believe that with all my heart. Now, in the circle within a circle, Ezekiel’s wheel in chapter 1, chose church Israel and the involvement. Both have different identities, but yet one would not be perfect without the other. It’s in His divine plans. He will graft them back in at the end of the age. And so as He begins to get His wheel together, He’s got an inner circle, the very closest one to His heart and then they spanned off in awe from that point there. It’s going to be beautiful. It’s really going to be glorious today. It’s something that you want to run for to win the prize. Paul said it’s a race. Believe me, the royal stones are coming forth, and we are going to see that. God is going to bless His people like never before! These messages are coming like this because they are all coming together and maybe you can’t understand it all, but you just take the fundamental reasoning in here and begin to see what He’s going to do. Yes, He does have people and believe me, they will be bright and they will shine like the stars, and they’d be glorious people. And let me tell you something. It’s not going to be long either. He’s really moving and when He does, then we will see the hand of God as we’ve never seen before. How many of you know that He’s really real? Can you say amen?
18.Now, remember, the travailing is what’s been going on and we can see it too. And I think it is in Romans 8, probably verses 19 to 23. Paul said, I suppose the suffering of this world could never and all the suffering put together would match what God’s going to do for us. And he tells about the travailing of the church and how she will come forth there and everything. I’ve got another scripture on Paul here that I want to get to because he spoke so much about this and listen to it close here. He said, now remember this, the shadow of the executioner was ready to fall across his path and he could say this, “For I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there’s laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give to me on that day. And not to me only, but to all of them also that love his appearing.” Do you love His appearing this morning? You will get what Paul got. If you love the appearance of these messages, that’s Him, you love the appearing that He is doing this, then if you love the appearing of the Lord, you have the crown. If you don’t love the appearing of the Lord, you will lose your crown. Paul knew that his fight was finished, his work was done. The prize he had coveted and he had longed for, for those many years he suffered and he toiled, he could hardly wait for the moment of his departure to take place because he said to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Boy, he was ready to go! Can you say amen? The prize, here’s what it is. The prize is the supreme joy of being part of the inner circle, to be included in the very bride of Christ, to be close to Him as a wife to a husband for eternity, there’s the prize. My, can you say amen? No wonder the Lord pushed back those others from it and then pushed back some more, and just kept pushing them back, standing in awe, drama! There He is, the great God! There it is, the prize to be close to Him for eternity! My, my, my! Isn’t that beautiful? So from the chapter Psalms 45, the queen sitting on the right hand, the king’s daughter, then the virgins that attend her and right down in the palace, says to the King. And then over in the book of Revelation 12, the crown of 12 stars clothed with the sun, church of the ages, moon sitting in exalted position there under the feet of the woman ready for the manchild to be born. Just look at the ages involved with that woman there. Church Israel, even though two identities are both wrapped in that woman from the 12 stars right down through the sun, right down to the moon there. And that Psalms 45 is trying to show us the needlework in there that God has performed the birth of that manchild, the dragon standing there, caught up into heaven. What a picture there! The other seed has fled into the wilderness. It’s beautiful! Many people try to say that was, you know, telling us about the birth of Christ. No, He died at that time and was not caught up into heaven and fled into Egypt with His parents as a little boy. Now you read the whole chapter, although it does somewhat depict that the Lord would be caught up later into heaven. But this He had been dead, I guess, 80 or 90 or 100 years when John wrote it. Yes, that many years because John was a young man at that time. He lived to be very old, and Jesus had met him again on the isles of Patmos, years and years later. So, the book is prophetic, we know that. And of course, Jesus is only one seed and He was caught up. And then we see that what was left of the seed of the man child, what was left fled into the wilderness there and the dragon was after her seed.
19.And then over in Revelation 13, the seven crowns were on the kingdom, but the ten horns weren’t crowned then. And at that time, the manchild was taken up, but when she fled into the wilderness, satan came down in Chapter 13, we see the ten crowns there. But they weren’t for a while and then the great tribulation is on. Oh, what secrets of the Lord! And when you read all this, you will understand it, you can’t, it’s so supernatural and spiritual and in such dimensions, you can hear it, but you can’t hardly catch it, but you know the fundamentals, that’s what He wants you [to know]. The way He does it is to get it afterwards and boy, you’ve got food! Let me tell you, breaking off of what we’ve already said here, you will have all kinds of revelations yourself just coming to you, showing you about people and everything. Remember, the bride will be there. Her color should be right there, but in a dimension that you can’t get to. Yet she is standing there with Jesus and she’s in the dimension with Jesus. And then next to that will be the wise, they will be there. They will be in another dimension and that dimension all up in the same place in different dimensions. I wish I could explain that to you and the different lights and zones. It’s just like we have a spiritual world, and we also have a physical world and then we have different dimensions. But the thing in physical dimension, you know, you got sound, a taste, and so forth. But in there, the dimensions, the bride is in one, the others in another one, and then each one ranks and they go to their different jobs. They can’t get over into that other dimension to do that work because that one is in that work. Yet, they are around one another, but one goes this way as if they were in the same place, but they are not because they are in a dimension. It is a spiritual world. It is a revelation world. It is a beautiful world and there is harmony and coordination.
20.Man, they can work like a wheel. I’m telling you, it is beautiful! A wheel within a wheel working for God spinning like this! And the Bible in Revelation 7, it said, and He is set up on the throne, and His wheels are spinning and burning with fire. Can you say amen? And they work just like hummingbirds. Oh, how beautiful that is! Each one has a dimension, and they will work one set of plans for God and He will put them over certain things, and the other dimension is set to go into other places and work. Each one has a different dimension. It would be so beautiful if you could only understand those things! Do you ever get into the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 12: 1-11) one day? I’m going in there and bringing all those gifts and things out when it gives me time to get there. Do you ever know the dimensions? You have the three power gifts. You have the three revelation gifts. Then you have the three vocal gifts and so forth. And then one will lapse and work over with the other one, all of them working together there and yet they are all different dimensions. Sure, manifestations and dimensions and operations, Paul says, read it yourself. So, He knows what He’s doing. So in the circle in heaven, it’s like Ezekiel’s wheel within a wheel. All of them belong to the wheel, never broken from the other yet in different dimensions and God has chosen them and they are predestined. Tonight, if you’ve ever wondered about it, about predestination and how that God does things, see, He’s sovereign. There’s just no way, we may understand why He’s done this to Israel and why this was done to the Gentiles and why this happened and why did the Lord allow this? But it’s just we don’t tell Him, He made us. He knows what He’s doing. It’s far advanced ahead of the normal mind of thinking that we have that we cannot understand all of God’s plans and ways. But we will then, and you will say, “Oh, what a fool, my lands!” No wonder He said, “Oh, fools, slow to understand all that the prophets have told you.” And that’s what He called them at that time (Luke 24:25). He knows what He’s doing. Can you say amen?
21.So tonight, if you’ve never understood about predestination, how that God moves, now, I don’t believe you know people, once saved, that doctrine, always saved. They go drink and they can go out here and do that, I don’t believe they will be saved. They stay out there in the world and do all of that. But I believe this, if they backslide in there and they are one of God’s children, He’s married to the backslider. Should they fit in His wheel, He will pull them back through and when He gets through spiritually whooping them, they will be glad to get back in the house of God because He will chastise them. I mean, He will chastise His children and the other ones that won’t take that chastisement, Paul said, are bastards. Where are you at now? That incorrigible seed. Can you say amen? That’s in Hebrews 12:8. It’s an incorrigible outfit. And so you remember unruly Cain? How many of you remember that? No matter how God tried to compromise with him and talk to him, he was not going to do what God told him to do. Can you say amen? But anyway, never mind about that. God even has mercy on those kinds of people and He showed it through history there. And all of His plans are known unto Him from the beginning of time on in there. I really believe that. But nevertheless, if you don’t understand all of those things tonight, we are going to show you as we turn to chapter 12 and Romans. And as we begin to go, we will show you why and how satan will push against you. If you are the seed that’s coming forth from God and you are the very one predestinated, you may sometimes look and say, “Well, how could I ever fit in there?” Sometimes the foolish may even outshine you. It may look that way but let me tell you something, you have one thing in your favor. If you are not where you think you should be, God is going to put you there. You just watch and see because the church is not where it should be. Nowhere in the world is the church where it should be. It’s thus saith the Lord. They are better though than the others that are out there. They may not sometimes show it, but in their heart, they believe this Word. Man, they’ve got it in their heart, and you can’t take it away from them. They have faith in the heart. Then if you’ve got the Word and you believe in your heart, you are a believer. Let me tell you something. He’s going to polish you up because you’re a diamond in the rough, He will get you. But I never want to compliment the church here or anywhere, but the stages, that’s where it’s at. And they are just not at this time over the earth or even here like they should be. I know all of these things. If they were, then I wouldn’t have any job right now, would I? But it’s my job.
22.And I want you to listen to me real close and then God will begin to…. Something’s going on inside of you all the time. Every time that you listen to these messages, something is going on inside and God will bless your heart. So, your seed, you will be pushed at, satan will put a point in you. He will throw the darts, he will try to pull you away, he will push in. If you are not really that real seed of God, then you will be pushed away. You will wind up in another circle. You will get away from God. I want in the inner circle of God, I want to be in the Royal stones of the Lord, as close to Him as I can get. Therefore, we know that when He says, “Come up hither,” we’re going to go up! Can you say amen? That is truly right and it is wonderful. And so this, the message that we have today, will be put out someday on cassette. I don’t know when, but I pray that God will bless your heart because the anointing alone that God has put on it will bless your hearts. Amen. Amen. I really believe that. How many of you feel Jesus right now? Do you feel Jesus? Oh, blessed be the Name of the Lord God. And so, as we close here, we’re going tonight into part two of this message, which will be the real message. This is the foundation. We are going into the seat of the woman, the dragon about the mystery of predestination. So, don’t miss it. We are going to bring it. It is prophetic. Oh, how prophetic it is for our age! It’s where we are living right there, where He is calling that and we are just right at the time. There’s no better time in the history of the world to bring it than to bring it to His people right now. And many times in these, you know, these kinds, this is for teaching and for learning. This is the series. And I will be finishing it up tonight, all the series of scrolls and scripts that I’ve done. will be finishing up tonight. And that will all fit into a series together there and we will try to get the church ages out as quickly as possible.
23.I want you to stand on your feet here. So, it finishes it up tonight, all of that series and where I go from there, well, I’ve got notation for this summer and I’ve got things for this fall and we’ll see, but I will tell you, He’s been dealing with me in numbers and He knows how to call it. No one knows the exact day of the Lord’s coming. We know that. No one knows the exact week or the month or something. But Jesus said in the Bible, and I’ve got scriptures to back it up, that we would not be ignorant of the times and seasons. And believe me now, there’s a bride coming forth in that scene. If you want to know if you’re involved, you’ll be here tonight. It’ll help you greatly there. But we will know the times and seasons. And let me tell you, when He gets in there, you know, Daniel ran into the Palmoni, it says in the original Hebrew, and that’s the Numberer of secrets. That’s the wonderful Numberer and the one that reveals great secrets. He was found again in Revelation 10. He calls time. He knows what the seasons are. We may not know the time of the day, but we can get close to the coming of the Lord and believe me, He is going to show His bride. So, today, it is really time to dress up spiritually. Can you say amen to get ready for the Lord? And then I’ll tell you, if you are a diamond in the rough, brother, I’m going to bring it out. Oh, my! He said, I’ll tell you, if you want to know how they are manufactured, read how those diamonds are manufactured. He’s got these seven anointings of lightning and let me tell you, when He gets their spirit, the seven anointings of God come in there, it’s going to grind that and make that diamond. So, my job with this fire and this power is to bring that diamond out and let it shine and the rest can stand back in awe at the throne and watch. Oh, praise God! Hallelujah! Well, satan, why does he not like to be exposed and neither does he like the people that he knows that God’s going to position. You see, he lost it, didn’t he? He lost it. Oh, how it must hurt to see God taking other people there! My, how it must hurt him to do that! But all of God’s plans are full of wisdom and never count God wrong. Some things I can’t, I’m not allowed to tell you, but you can read between the lines how God knows what He’s doing. Amen. Let’s just praise Him. I’m going to pray over you this morning. I will be here tonight, and we will really have a rally after the service. God will bless your heart. If you’re sick this morning, come on down here. I won’t pray for you on the platform, but I’ll pray over here for a few minutes. Come on, let’s see you get in that circle. Can you get in there? Praise God!
