63-0623M - Standing In The Gap
80 Well, it happens to be that at least one man is present this morning who was standing there when it happened. It actually shook the rocks off of the mountain. And now they…We find out that, during that time, I saw seven Angels in a—in a form of a pyramid, that swept down and picked me up. And I was brought East, to open the Seven Seals for God. If you haven’t got them…If Jesus tarries, and I…my great-grandchildren, little Paul’s children, that will still be the Eternal Truth of the living God. Now, that was to find out, that was sealed inside this mountain, that wasn’t wrote. It had to be interpreted. And when I come back, the first Angel, on the first night, opened the Seal contrary to anything we ever heard in our life. And all seven come out the same way. You know that. You were here present when it happened, many of you.
And, now, I didn’t know it at that time, but…
81 Brother Fred Sothmann, I know he’s here. And I’m pretty sure Brother Norman is here. We was up…I had to go to Houston about getting that little boy saved from the electric chair. And then I went back and I went hunting up there with the brethren. And that morning, I was standing there picking cockleburs, or—or what they call goatheads there, burrs off of my trouser leg. And the blast did just exactly the way It said it. Is that right, Brother Fred? And I—I—I must have jumped way off of the ground. And just above me was the Angels of the Lord that sent Message back, for me to come here to break these Seals. Why here, why at the tabernacle? Why didn’t I do it there? Because I had made a promise to my church and to God, that any new Message would come from this tabernacle, recorded from here. And He was helping me to keep my word, to stay back here to do it. And then immediately I went back again.
82 And, now, I didn’t know at the time, that they were taking pictures of that, scientists was, as the Angels lowered themselves from Heaven, to bring the Message. And you remember, I said the One on the right side of the constellation had, kind of, His chest back, and His wings. You remember me saying that, all of you? And how that I watched Him? He was very distinctive from the others. And I didn’t know they were taking a picture of It, ’cause immediately I hurried East. But going back home to Tucson, there It was all through the papers that had been seen almost nation-wide, or plumb into Mexico, and all the Western States, and I think the Courier over here. It was on the Associated Press. How many saw, A Mysterious Cloud In The Sky? You see the hands. And now the Life magazine picked it up. And I have the—the article here this morning, in the Life magazine here, to show. Now here It is, the same time I was there. See the pyramid of the Cloud? I was standing just below this. And there, see the distinctive Angel on the right-hand side? See the pointed wing of It? Just exactly what was said. And here it’s in the view of Mexico and different places from where they took the picture. Now, this scientist here is trying to—to get all the information about the picture, that he can, about the people who has the picture. He is studying it.
83 Now, he says here that it would be impossible for it to be a cloud, because moisture doesn’t go over about, I’d say, about six or eight miles high, something like that. When we go overseas we usually fly nineteen thousand feet, and we’re above the storms then. But this cloud, according to this article here of this scientist, is twenty-six miles high. It would be miles and miles beyond moisture. And he said, checking the area, and now, you know I…How many remembers that I told you, “It sounded like the sound breaker on a plane”? Remember? But there was no plane in the district. The book says so here. They’ve checked it. There were no one, no planes up there. And, besides, it couldn’t…That fog behind a plane is nothing but broken-up air, moisture, ’cause it sucks through this unit, as a jet. As it’s pulling itself, it breaks the moisture in the air. It can never get rid of it, as long as there’s a jet, because it’s got to…That’s what it propels on, and it’s the moisture scooting out from it.
84 But here it is, miles above where there could be moisture, and no planes in the district. And It couldn’t be moisture up there, and hung up there that day. It’s thirty miles across it, twenty-six miles high. You see? Just as the same it was that picture there, when I told you, “The Angel of the Lord looked like a Pillar of Fire,” years ago, before It was ever took; God makes science recognize that It’s Truth. And here, of the prophecy that was given, God make science testify that It’s the Truth. Now where do we stand? I want to keep this, for I—I may speak to a friend of mine, that’s present this morning, to—to write those Seven Seals. He might want to use this for it. And so you have a copy of it, why, if you get one, hold it for reference. See?
85 Now he is wanting to find out, but what good would it do to go to tell him that? He would laugh at it. See, he would just merely laugh. So don’t cast our pearls like that. But we know, the Church knows, and God knows that it’s the Truth.
86 And then while I was praying on this subject, of wondering what would happen to me, and you know where I was at? North of Tucson, east of Flagstaff; just exactly, positionally, where I told you, months before it happened, I’d be standing. And exactly according to this paper here, and of papers and this magazine, and our own testimony, exactly where it taken place. God is perfect and cannot lie, and it will come to pass.
