Introduction
Repent ye therefore, and be converted. But it said, be ye converted. That means accept the Lord Jesus Christ and nobody else. It said repent ye there, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. It said times, it had an “s” on it. And it says, He shall send Jesus Christ, which is before was preached unto you. When the heavens must receive, Him, until the times of restitution of all things, with an “s” on it, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world begin. Acts 3: 19 – 21.
The restoration, the restitution that we’re talking about, is the restitution of God’s spiritual things again, perfectly in order, and the physical Universe, or the physical galaxy, and the physical earth. He’s going to restore it back.
It means that the earth must be restored back to its mild climate everywhere at the same time, or at the same way upon all of the earth.
It reveals that the earth must be restored back into the orbit. It’s off, and God made that because of sin, and after the flood. But the earth must be restored back into the orbit of 360 days to the year, instead of 365 and a fourth days to a year.
After the saints are translated, first, you know at that time, there’s Satan, is ejected on down to the earth, for he knoweth his time is short. No doubt, the saints will be with the Lord when this happens, and old Satan gets in a world leader, and marks the earth in the great tribulation that is to come. Revelation 12: 5, 12.
Will there be special task for the saints after the translation? According to the Scriptures, there’s a coronation. In the cloud, He had like one crown on, but later, when we see Him in Revelations 19, in different places, He has many diadems, many crowns, and diadems, on His head. So, after the saints are translated, they go up, and there’s a coronation of Christ. That’s exactly right, and it’s in the book of Revelations too, and they’re around Him, and He becomes their King, One set, there He is. Then after that, there’s the marriage supper taking place, while over in the earth, it’s the great battles taking place, of the people, worship the antichrist, and madness. But up there is true peace, up there is the trueness of God, and the divine love of God. Revelation 14: 14; Revelation 19: 7 – 9, 12 – 13.
The Lord Jesus is The Mighty God, The Word of God (Matthew 1: 21; Luke 1: 26 – 35; Isaiah 9: 6; Revelation 19: 13).
And during this time of those years that are up there, the saints of God, the elect of God, will be receiving instructions, and information, and things, that they are going to be doing. I mean, we’re living in a time, so, you’ll be training to do certain things for God in this Universe after you go up there, even during the years that you’re there.
After coronation and marriage supper of Christ there, then you come back with Him in Revelations 19, and when you do, He’s coming down now with His saints, and you will help Him judge the earth too, you’ll be right with Him, see, right there with Him. 1 Corinthians 6: 2.
No doubt, they’ll be overseeing the millennium with Christ.
And as far as gravity or your body, it’ll be different. You can, you don’t have to travel by time. By thought, you can be where He wants you.
“If the Lord wanted us to go somewhere for Him in heaven and it would take the ordinary body trillions of light years to get there by the speed of light, let’s say to another galaxy, in our glorified body, it would take us less than a second by thought in another dimension to appear there! . . . Or if we wanted to travel slower, this would be possible also, for perhaps we would like to see the beauties of His Universe! Amen!”
The preparing, and the great power of the Lord, are preparing His people, and then in one of the times, the restitution, he’s going on back to be with the Lord again. They come from God; they’ll go back to the Lord. You said, “Did I come from the Lord?” I would like to know where else you did come from. He said, I’ve known you in the beginning before you got here, and put a seed in there, and a light hit the earth, and you stood up. He’ll bring back, restore, the restitution of all things, in the lights of God. Then you return back into the lights of God. This body is a probationary body. He created it that way, but then it would be changed. You’ll be back in the lights, never die, nothing will ever happen again to you there.
“Behold saith the Lord do ye not know this Scripture? Ye were with Me when the Morning Stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy!” (Job 38:6,7)
It means we were with the eternal God, our Lord Jesus, as lights before we came to this earth, and we will go back to Him as lights, “and so shall we ever be with the Lord”. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
You will be blessed.

Summary of the Sermon
We listened to a sermon titled “Prophecy Appearing”, CD # 1236, by Brother Neal Frisby.
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
Now prophecy appearing. The shape of things to come, in the time that we live.
This Scripture is often overlooked. It’s real important. It reveals great foresight.
Repent ye therefore, and be converted. Now in all of the systems, most of them do repent. All of the time they confess and repent. But it said, be ye converted. That means accept the Lord Jesus Christ and nobody else. It means that you don’t confess to the priest or Buddha, to Confucius. It means when you confess, then you accept the Lord Jesus Christ. So, he separated the two words there. It said repent ye there, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
When was this to take place? This very Scripture reveals just exactly when it was to take place, besides other Scriptures to back it up. It said times, it had an “s” on it.
Now when is this to take place? See, times, the former rain, the latter rain. Refreshing shall come from no other place, but from the presence of the Lord.
And it says, He shall send Jesus Christ, which is before was preached unto you. Now, see, He had preached, and He had gone. He’s coming back now in the translation.
Whom the heaven must receive until the times. Here’s something else besides the refreshing.
The refreshing means, and it’s the time that we live in, it means new. Refreshing means to revive, new. It means to alert. It means to stimulate. It means to lift up, and to restore. It is powerful. It is coming. It is refreshing, like a fresh breeze or water over somebody, that’s coming to restore, and to energize, saith the Lord, the body.
When the heavens must receive, Him, until the times of restitution of all things, with an “s” on it, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world begin; that’s Acts 3: 19 and 23.
The restoration, the restitution that we’re talking about, is the restitution of God’s spiritual things again, perfectly in order, and the physical Universe, or the physical galaxy, and the physical earth. He’s going to restore it back. It’s not in a position it was in before the fall or before the void. This goes before the void too, before the fall.
The restitution of all things means that everything must be restored back to its pre-glory. We’re coming now, little by little, this revival, and translation, is not all of it. We’re going on beyond that because the earth goes on. See, there’s also millennium, and then there’s a great day of the Lord, and so forth like that.
It means everything must be turned back to its pre-glory, as it was before the void, as it was in the beginning of time, when Adam kept the garden of Eden, before the disobedience and the fall, it must come back and restore all that was lost. It means that the earth must be restored back to its mild climate everywhere at the same time, or at the same way upon all of the earth.
It reveals that the earth must be restored back into the orbit; it’s kind of kicked out of place. That’s what brings a harsh weather, that’s what brings a destruction, and the famines, and all of that. It’s off, and God made that because of sin, and after the flood. But the earth must be restored back into the orbit of 360 days to the year, instead of 365 and a fourth days to a year which is very poor calendar.
It’s restitution of all things. And as this takes place, there’s a spiritual thing taking place.
The preparing, and the great power of the Lord, are preparing His people, and then in one of the times, the restitution, he’s going on back to be with the Lord again. They come from God; they’ll go back to the Lord. You said, “Did I come from the Lord?” I would like to know where else you did come from. He said, I’ve known you in the beginning before you got here, and put a seed in there, and a light hit the earth, and you stood up. He’ll bring back, restore, the restitution of all things, in the lights of God. Then you return back into the lights of God. This body is a probationary body. He created it that way, but then it would be changed. You’ll be back in the lights, never die, nothing will ever happen again to you there.
Here’s another dimension. And I saw a new heavens and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away. Millennium’s all gone too, that’s passed out of the way, and there was no more sea. It was gone, it wasn’t in it’s place out here. It was gone. It says this, and there was no more sea.
And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. Now, here comes something that no one has seen before, back to the original form. How great, and how powerful, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful, Revelation 21: 1 through 5. Behold I make all things new. You’ll see Him sitting on that throne. Behold I make all things new, and that means all things new.
Here’s a question people often asked, we’re going to different questions:
Will Adam and Eve have been raptured or translated to heaven had they’ve not sinned. Well, in the first place, the bodies that they had at that time, that God created them, was not to last forever although it could probably last nearly a thousand years or longer. Enoch, fifty something years from the time that Adam died, was translated, he was gone. Perhaps, God in His great plan, was trying to show us, had it stayed right in that line, they would have changed, and went to heaven there. But that was not God’s original plan. That’s why He gave them the body that He gave them, but He’s showing you what would have happened there. So, we find out that in Adam and Eve, in the sin, how they repented. The people that repent, believe God in their heart like Enoch, they will be changed, they will be translated.
What relation has supernatural transportation to the translation or the rapture? Well, in the Bible, Elijah one time, walked into Obadiah, and he said, Tell the king Elijah is here. And Obadiah said, oh lord, he said, I can’t do that, perhaps the Lord take you up again and drop you somewhere, and we can’t find you, and the king get mad at me. He was preparing him for what? The translation, he took in that chariot.
We find out, in the New Testament, Philip, one time, was preaching, baptized the eunuch, went down with him, come up, and the Spirit of the Lord caught him up, the Bible said, and took him 50 miles to Azotus, and dropped him down. He was transported, transcending time and space, in a moment’s time.
Jesus Himself, the devil was with Him, He was taken to the pinnacle of the Temple, but God had given him that power, that much power anyway. And he taketh Him up on a great mountain, in a moment’s time, he showed Him the kingdoms, and transported Him up there, in a moment’s time, transcending time and space, and the devil showeth Him all the kingdoms, right up to the day we live in, in a moment’s time.
Another time, Jesus in the midst of the sea, in a boat, master, master, oh, we perish. And Jesus appeared in a boat, and at the time was in the midst of the sea, and the Bible said this, peace be still, and said immediately, they woke up at the bank. They transited time and space.
We find out Ezekiel was transported several times. He woke up, and picked up by his hair of head, woke up in another place.
So, you say, the question is, what relation does supernatural transportation have to do with relation to the translation. It has to do, that the translation of the church is near. And towards the end of the age, it’s going to happen again. When it does, it’s a sign to the translation of the church.
Now, will all the saints be translated at the same time? No, we find in Matthew 25 about you go down verse about one through ten or twelve in there, and it’ll tell you at the midnight cry, when it was given, it said half of them were left. See, half of them were left for the great tribulation, and went through great tribulation. So, all of the saints are not translated at the same time. The ones that matured, the ones that were able to listen to messages like this morning, saith the Lord, the ones that matured on into the power of God, matured right into the word of God, and matured right into the revelation of faith of God, and the power of God. There’s a secret translation, a rapture of the church, like a thief in the night.
Will the translation be seen and witnessed by the ungodly? They won’t see a thing. Oh, the aftermath, but they’ll all have excuses, there’ll be so much phenomenon, and sorcery, going on, they won’t hardly know what took place. But no, the wicked and the unbelievers, the ungodly and the unbelievers, they’ll not know when that takes place.
Will there be special task for the saints after the translation? But after the saints are translated, first, you know at that time, there’s Satan, is ejected on down to the earth, for he knoweth his time is short. Revelations 12 will tell you about both things, going up and coming down, and he’s put downwards. No doubt, the saints will be with the Lord when this happens, and old Satan gets in a world leader, and marks the earth in the great tribulation that is to come.
So, the saints, then what happens? According to the Scriptures, there’s a coronation. In the cloud, He had like one crown on, but later, when we see Him in Revelations 19, in different places, He has many diadems, many crowns, and diadems, on His head. So, after the saints are translated, they go up, and there’s a coronation of Christ. That’s exactly right, and it’s in the book of Revelations too, and they’re around Him, and He becomes their King, One set, there He is. Then after that, there’s the marriage supper taking place, while over in the earth, it’s the great battles taking place, of the people, worship the antichrist, and madness. But up there is true peace, up there is the trueness of God, and the divine love of God. And the marriage supper takes place, the Bible said.
And during this time of those years that are up there, the saints of God, the elect of God, will be receiving instructions, and information, and things, that they are going to be doing.
No doubt, they’ll be overseeing the millennium with Christ. The Holy City’s not come down, but right up there where they can probably go back and forth or whatever, but they’re with Christ at that time, and His instructions, from whatever He says to do, they do.
And as far as gravity or your body, it’ll be different. You can, you don’t have to travel by time. By thought, you can be where He wants you.
I mean, we’re living in a time, so, you’ll be training to do certain things for God in this Universe after you go up there, even during the years that you’re there.
After coronation and marriage supper of Christ there, then you come back with Him in Revelations 19, and when you do, He’s coming down now with His saints, and you will help Him judge the earth too, you’ll be right with Him, see, right there with Him.
There He comes with those diadems, there He comes, the word of God, and He’s coming right now. And it says, here, that He comes down, interrupts everything, and takes the earth over then. He takes the beast, the false prophet, and throws him in the lake of fire. Then the Lord, with the Lord, you seal the devil in the pit, he’s sealed away. He’s loosened for a little season at the end of the millennium, then later, God takes him and cast him in the lake of fire. There He is, and you’re with Him. So, all of these things that you’re going to be doing, you will be associated right with Christ, and it’s going to take place.
Now this Scripture right here, and some people, what is the abomination of desolation? It’s just the opposite of refreshing. Jesus said this, in Mark 13: 14, here is Jesus revealing it. But when ye shall see, you’re going to look at it, the translation has already happened, it marks the great tribulation that’ll come upon this earth, you’re with Christ. But when ye shall see, that’s the Jews, and all those on by television worldwide, but when ye shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not. He calls it standing where it ought not. Where is it standing? It is standing in the temple of God, standing where all that Christ should sit with the Jews in the millennium. It is in the tribulation temple, standing where it ought not. It is some form of an idol of the antichrist put into the temple. And he goes beyond that, it is the actual antichrist himself, sits in the chair, therefore, it becomes the abomination sitting where only the Lord God should sit.
Jesus said, let him that readeth, let them in Judea flee into the mountains, and let all of them that see this, it’s a signal the great tribulation is on. 2 Thessalonians 2: 4, and he sits in there, claiming that he is God, and that he is above all gods. You are getting in the midst of the great tribulation.
Revelation chapter 11: 1 and 2 shows the place where the temple will set. He will sit with those Jews and say he is God.
So, abomination is something that’s not inhabited, laid waste, it’s abomination, it’s always associated to idols, associated to the image of the beast in Revelation 13. Now to desolate is nothing left, it’s all burnt, that’s atomic radiation.
You say abomination, a bomb a nation, because desolate, burnt, this antichrist sits as God, and they accept him on the earth. So, the whole picture is right there when Jesus said, But when you shall see the abomination of desolation. Daniel said standing where it ought not. It should not be in there, in my place, saith the Lord, and there it stands, and I forewarned them, it should not sit there, when you see it sit in there, flee, because great tribulation will come upon the earth.
Now if any of you, or any people, hearing this ever get caught here, you’re going to find out what has been spoken here is the truth, and Revelations 13, it said, and they made an image unto the antichrist, a world leader, and when they do, see, then they just seal their doom in there.
Daniel backs it up in another place. He saw the abomination of desolation, he saw the one that was to set, he saw him in a palace, a great fortress it says, in a stronghold, with many weapons, as the Bible describes it. He was with a strange god, an idol of Lucifer or something or god of science, and he got to look at all of that, the same picture that Jesus just spoke about. Daniel looked, and he saw him magnify himself above any God it said, and every God there was, and yet he was nothing, saith the Lord.
God will come down and set His foot on the mount of Olives, and He will just take and split that temple wide open in there. It’ll just disappear off the face of the earth, and God there, will split the mountain, it said, clear open, water will run down through there.
Then later, there’ll be a great temple of the Lord in the millennium. Then the Holy City comes down later.
Behold, I make all things new. Oh, how beautiful. There’s where time blends into and gets lost, it’s not there, it blends into eternity. Of course, the saints’ been translated a long time ago. They are in absolutely no more time. For them, they are in eternity. But then, all things then blend into what we call the infinite. It blends into eternal, where there’s no, what we call, our type of time, forever, forever, and forever. What kind of a Savior we’ve got. We’ve got a great Savior.

Repent ye therefore, and be converted. But it said, be ye converted. That means accept the Lord Jesus Christ and nobody else. It said repent ye there, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. It said times, it had an “s” on it.

“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”Revelation 12: 12

“And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.”Revelation 14: 14
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”Revelation 19: 7 – 9
“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.”Revelation 19: 12
The Lord Jesus is The Mighty God, The Word of God.
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”Matthew 1: 21
In Luke 1: 26 – 35, Mary was told by Angel Gabriel that “thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.”
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”Isaiah 9: 6
“And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”Revelation 19: 13
And during this time of those years that are up there, the saints of God, the elect of God, will be receiving instructions, and information, and things, that they are going to be doing. I mean, we’re living in a time, so, you’ll be training to do certain things for God in this Universe after you go up there, even during the years that you’re there.
After coronation and marriage supper of Christ there, then you come back with Him in Revelations 19, and when you do, He’s coming down now with His saints, and you will help Him judge the earth too, you’ll be right with Him, see, right there with Him.
“Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?”1 Corinthians 6: 2
No doubt, they’ll be overseeing the millennium with Christ.
And as far as gravity or your body, it’ll be different. You can, you don’t have to travel by time. By thought, you can be where He wants you.
I read from Scroll # 137:
LET’S NOTE – “If the Lord wanted us to go somewhere for Him in heaven and it would take the ordinary body trillions of light years to get there by the speed of light, let’s say to another galaxy, in our glorified body, it would take us less than a second by thought in another dimension to appear there! . . . Or if we wanted to travel slower, this would be possible also, for perhaps we would like to see the beauties of His Universe! Amen!” – “It is hard for us to realize all that our glorified bodies will do or be like, but we do know in part because the Scriptures reveal some of it. But all will be beyond all that we ever believed for! – It is stated that way in the Scriptures! For it says, ‘Eye that not seen, neither has it entered into the heart of man what God has for them that love Him!”
The preparing, and the great power of the Lord, are preparing His people, and then in one of the times, the restitution, he’s going on back to be with the Lord again. They come from God; they’ll go back to the Lord. You said, “Did I come from the Lord?” I would like to know where else you did come from. He said, I’ve known you in the beginning before you got here, and put a seed in there, and a light hit the earth, and you stood up. He’ll bring back, restore, the restitution of all things, in the lights of God. Then you return back into the lights of God. This body is a probationary body. He created it that way, but then it would be changed. You’ll be back in the lights, never die, nothing will ever happen again to you there.
I read from Scroll # 43:
“Behold saith the Lord do ye not know this Scripture? Ye were with Me when the Morning Stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy!” (Job 38:6,7)
It means we were with the eternal God, our Lord Jesus, as lights before we came to this earth, and we will go back to Him as lights, “and so shall we ever be with the Lord”. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
You will be blessed.
