Introduction

Behold, I come as a thief. Why is the coming of Jesus in the translation compared to the coming of a thief? A thief comes unannounced. And when Jesus comes in the translation, He will come unannounced. Why does a thief come? He comes to take away things of value. And when Jesus comes in a translation, He will come to get His jewels. And when a thief comes, he usually leaves much more than what he takes; only the valuables, he’s gone. And when the translation occurs, the children of God, His jewels, will be taken up. But there will be more people left on earth, just like a thief will leave more than he takes.

Now, two in one bed; one taken, one left. Many time, a husband will wake up. This time, he goes search first; she’s gone. The wife wakes up; the husband’s gone. Another place, both of them’s gone; they believe together, gone. Two women grinding grain. Now, the women in Bible lands grind their flour in the morning. And then it said two men in the field. That signifies later in the morning or in the afternoon; two men in the field. And so, when Jesus comes in the translation, some will be in bed, some will be grinding, some will be in the field. One taken, one left. Luke 17: 34 – 36.

It will occur over the world at the same time. Millions of people of all ages will leave this earth in a second, the Bible says, in the twinkling of an eye, they’ll be gone. 1 Corinthians 15: 52.

Little babies: oh, some of the little baby beds will be empty.

Maybe you’ll have two parents sometimes. They don’t believe in God or have God, but that little baby, somehow, God’s going to call for it. He’s going to get him.

And a lot of young people is going to be going on up there.

Who can accuse a child born that don’t have his mind?

Well, you know the little boy come to Jesus. His parents, his eyes, he didn’t have no eyes. He couldn’t see nothing. And Jesus called him. He touched his eyes, created him eyeballs, and said, now, go wash in that pool over there. And they said, and Jesus said, neither has he sinned nor his parents. This is for the glory of God. John 9: 1 – 3. Sometimes, that’s the only way He’s going to get that one in there. But He’s going to get whoever He has predicted to get.

You may have a 30-year-old son or daughter who has the intelligence of a 5-year-old child. They’re not mature in their mind. The Lord knows why this child is in that condition, and that may be the only way He is going to get him or her into heaven. Remember, all things work together for good to them that love the Lord. Romans 8: 28.

How about all the heathen that come up through there? Even Paul said, what’s on their conscience and heart, God will judge. Romans 2: 14 – 15.

Oh, predestination is going to play a great role.

The Lord knows that if that little baby had the opportunity to grow up, that 30-year-old son or daughter who has the intelligence of a 5-year-old child were to have a mind that is matured, that heathen born in a land where there was no preaching were to hear the gospel of salvation, they would believe, and would be sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the moment of translation. The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His. Ephesians 1: 13 – 14; 2 Timothy 2: 19.

“For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth”. Romans 9: 10 – 24.

Yes, the Lord knows you even more personally than you know yourself! In His infinite love and wisdom He has a plan for you and every person born in this world! He foresees all who are to be born; He sees the coming of each one!

Anybody that comes to the Lord Jesus. And your faith has just reached into eternal life. Your faith has given you, by the power of your faith through Jesus, eternal life. And through eternal life, you live in eternity. Your faith is infinite. It will never die. Because it will live with you. How important faith in the word of God is.

In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, that body will be pure light. There will be no more need for our type of clothing. In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, they’re shed like a skin. You’re light, you’re covered in light, all over. A robe of light, and it’s in a twink’ of an eye.

We cannot measure “the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge” of the mighty God, our Lord Jesus. “For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” Romans 11: 33 – 36; Isaiah 9: 6.

We will be with our eternal God throughout eternity in the glorified body, in pure light. Lord Jesus, we thank you.

You will be blessed.

Summary of the Sermon

We listened to a sermon titled “Revelating – Time & Dimension”, CD # 1285, by Brother Neal Frisby.

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

Revelating; time; running into dimension. Now, we know, according to the signs, and according to the Scriptures, that we’re in the last church age. It is ending for the elect, and it is ending soon. Millions of people of all ages will leave this earth in a second, the Bible says, in the twinkling of an eye, in 1 Corinthians 15: 52. They’ll be gone.

Jesus Himself said, about the time, and the season, He said, when Israel come home, the fig tree, in the land, He said, that generation shall not pass away. There’s your season of time that He gave, until all things are fulfilled.

And Jesus said, say not that you have yet four months until harvest. I’ll tell you; you look at the field. They’re ripe to harvest out there. Say not that you’ve got time. Don’t put it off, and say, we’ve got plenty of time. Don’t even say there’s four months. He said, harvest is here. That’s what He said about the end of the age, when all these signs are around us. And that generation shall not pass away. You don’t have any time left. I’ve only given you a time of mercy. That’s all that’s left. We can no longer sit around and say we’ve got plenty of time left.

Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth. The Lord so cometh as a thief in the night, 1 Thessalonians 5: 2. Why is the coming of Jesus in the translation compared to the coming of a thief? There’s no warning there. Only to the people of God that read His word. And only the thief knows the time. And only Jesus, see, it’s timed. That’s why He’s going to put this as a thief.

Now, the reason is, easy to understand, when we consider how and why a thief comes, and what he takes, and what he leaves behind. A thief comes unannounced. That’s the way Jesus is. And when Jesus comes in the translation, He will come unannounced. Why does a thief come? He comes to take away things of value.

And Jesus used the word thief so that we could visualize just exactly how He was going to do it.

And when Jesus comes in a translation, He will come to get His jewels. The borned again, those that love Him, those that believe in Him, they are His jewels. And they shall be mine in the day when I make up my jewels; they shall be mine; Malachi 3: 17.

And when a thief comes, he usually leaves much more than what he takes; only the valuables, he’s gone. And when the translation occurs, the children of God, His jewels, will be taken up. But there will be more people left on earth, just like a thief will leave more than he takes. There’ll be more people left on earth than they will be taken out to meet Jesus in the clouds, in the air.

Wink your eye. That is how rapidly every Christian, every believer person, will leave this earth.

There shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, the other shall be left; or two brothers, or two whatever. Two women shall be grinding together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two men shall be in the field, one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Luke 17: 34 and 36. He reveals the night and the day.

It will occur over the world at the same time. Part of the world is going to be light; part of the world is going to be dark.

Two in the bed, while part of the earth is light. Part is dark, not all the people sleep at the same time. Two women grinding grain. Now in the Bible days, here’s what Jesus was getting at here. Now, the women in Bible lands grind their flour in the morning. This speaks of dawn in some places, in the morning. And then it said two men in the field. That signifies later in the morning or in the afternoon; two men in the field. One was dawn, before they even leave to go to work; she makes that bread early morning. And so, when Jesus comes in the translation, some will be in bed, some will be grinding, some will be in the field. There are different time zones; different dimensions of those time zones.

Now, two in one bed; one taken, one left. Many time, a husband will wake up. This time, he goes search first; she’s gone. The wife wakes up; the husband’s gone. Another place, both of them’s gone; they believe together, gone.

Now, one will be in the bed; one won’t be in the bed. One will be working; one won’t be working. When you find the clothes there, look in the field and the clothes are there.

In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, that body will be pure light. There will be no more need for our type of clothing. In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, they’re shed like a skin. You’re light, you’re covered in light, all over. A robe of light, and it’s in a twink’ of an eye. And they look over there and find that they’re gone.

Little babies: oh, some of the little baby beds will be empty. Jesus suffered little children to come to me. But I believe this after that translation goes up, there’s children being born all over the world.

Jesus walked in the temple at 12 years old, accountability. He felt that He, in His accountability, could talk. And that in His accountability, that that was the hour that they should accept or know about God and listen to the Lord. Now, some children at 12 or 14, some, 15. But He knows exactly those that can understand condemnation, those that can repent from sin, and those that don’t have the accountability yet. He knows that. So, 12, 14, over, you better watch out, because Jesus stood there Himself. When you have the accountability, and you will not repent, then the Most High knows that you could have, but you wouldn’t. Whatever that age limit is in there, He’s got it.

Now under a certain age, their accountability is not there. They’re not mature in their mind.

And with the little babies, will they come under predestination, or what? That’s in the hands of God.

Now, you say, how about the children that the parents have? This heartbreaking, it’s really something to see a baby born, and it’s mentally. Or children that grow up, and they don’t have their proper mind.

You see a little child that’s been demented, sometimes? If he comes under that, under that where he’s not had a chance. Under God, He’s going to make one of the prettiest little Angels that you’ve ever seen in heaven. He’s going to make a good little Christian, a good one, that’s changed in light. So out of something that we might call insane or mad, that’s never had an opportunity, born, not of his own, might turn into be something that God put that way, to take later. And you talk about the weeping of the parents, seeing that little boy there, little girl there, and their relatives seeing that little child there, that never had an opportunity. You talk about weeping, if they could weep and weep, for years, see, God’s heart. That’s all in God’s hands.

But the world’s going to be empty of a lot of little babies.

And a lot of young people is going to be going on up there.

Who can accuse a child born that don’t have his mind? Well, you know the little boy come to Jesus. His parents, his eyes, he didn’t have no eyes. He couldn’t see nothing. And they said, oh, this man has sinned, and all of that, you know, this here. And they come up through there. And Jesus called him. He just reached down and spilled on the ground like that. He touched his eyes, created him eyeballs, and said, now, go wash in that pool over there. And they said, and Jesus said, neither has he sinned nor his parents. This is for the glory of God.

Do you understand now why some are like that in the conditions, are suffered so much? Sometimes, that’s the only way He’s going to get that one in there. But He’s going to get whoever He has predicted to get.

Those little babies, starving and dying. I know the Lord is the most High. Instead of going around and say, He don’t know what He’s doing. Why would God do this? Why would God do that? If you’ve got faith, you can look over all of that, and put it in the hands of the living God.

How about all the heathen that come up through there? Even Paul said, what’s on their conscience and heart, God will judge. He’s never heard about Jesus. They haven’t had a chance. Nobody’s ever went to them in the heathen lands before the great gospel broke out. Oh, predestination is going to play a great role, and the heart is going to play a great role. That’s never got to hear about Jesus, and it’ll be judged by the heart, and be judged by what they did.

And the godly mothers who pled for their children, and the children laughed at them. They went on laughing in their sinful ways, and they laughed, and they laughed. These young people will realize that Jesus has come in and take their mother and father back to heaven. But now, then who shall laugh? And I’ve seen different families just plead with their children to get saved before they died.

Sometimes they don’t get them all in. Sometimes they even laugh at them. But when mother and father’s gone, the laughing stops.

Other times, the Lord, the father, and mother, passes on, the Lord will come. And He’ll come to those children. He’ll save those children. Even the ones that laughed at them.

Now, two at the mill grinding. Oh, they’re out there working. Two in the field, they’re working. One taken, one left. This speaks of a working class of people. It speaks of our stores, our shops, and our plants today, and so forth like that. Giant industrial plants, you know, the assembly lines, they’re running here. They’ll probably be erratic when a few of the Christians get taken out of there. And the workers will be taken from them, and so forth like that. And their posts will be unattended.

But see, the Antichrist, and all of them down here, buses, trains loaded with passengers will pile up, wrecked. Death, misery, and confusion will be everywhere. But I wrote but will be explained away by the world governments. And there will be lying signs and wonders to take up the gap. And it’ll be explained in such a way that it’ll actually be said that the devil done that to them people. And then the mark of the beast starts, and says, now I’ve come down, I’m God.

And you know, you read that, what I said about the faith. And before I wrote that, He said write it. That our faith is infinite. Jesus said have the faith, in one of the translations, of God, if you can. See, faith that moves mountains. Now, we pray, and we ask God to forgive us. We confess our sins, or whatever it is. Anybody that comes to the Lord Jesus. And your faith has just reached into eternal life. Your faith has given you, by the power of your faith through Jesus, eternal life. And through eternal life, you live in eternity. Your faith is infinite. It will never die. Because it will live with you. How important faith in the word of God is.

Behold, He said, I come quickly. It’ll be over before you know anything about it. Unexpectedly, He will come. Like a thief in the night, He will come. So, we find out, in industrial complexes. In the shops, in the cities, those Scriptures, in the field, and wherever. It typifies the end of the age. Some will be working in some places, and parts of the world, and a couple will be gone. But there’ll be two, three hundred, around there, you see.

See, so all of the world, and they’ll be in the harvest fields. They’ll be working. Some will be out there working, pitching hay, and some will be working in the cattle. Some will be on the horses. One will look over there, and he’s gone. See, all over the earth.

But because of the importance in what has taken place, millions of people will know it’s a translation. They’ll flee. They’ll try to run to the wilderness, in there. Then the foolish virgins say, that’s why we’re called foolish. We couldn’t see that was upon us. And let us flee. So, they look around. Everywhere that you look, where they’re working at night, no matter where they’re at, one will be taken, one will be left, one will be gone. Maybe you’ll have two parents sometimes. They don’t believe in God or have God, but that little baby, somehow, God’s going to call for it. He’s going to get him. At the end of the world, then when it all takes place, and all of these wrecks, and all of these things take place, then they’re going to rise up some explanation, and they’re going to twist it all up. And I mean, it’s going to be so twisted up, just like Pharaoh and his armies followed themselves to destruction. That’s the way that the world is going to do with this kind of a Pharaoh antichrist. They’re going to follow him to destruction. It’s the same way. I had a special message to them, and to bring people in that’s never understood the mysteries of all of that, about the babies, about the age of accountability, and all these other things, and people that are born in certain ways like that. And God’s great mercy outruns everything. But anybody that knows better has been told, told, told. It’s going to be a different story. Watch and pray. Behold, as I’ve said over and over, I come again. Behold, I come quickly. He said, behold, look on those fields, they’re ready for me to come and get.

Scripture Reading

Behold, I come as a thief. Why is the coming of Jesus in the translation compared to the coming of a thief? A thief comes unannounced. And when Jesus comes in the translation, He will come unannounced. Why does a thief come? He comes to take away things of value. And when Jesus comes in a translation, He will come to get His jewels. And when a thief comes, he usually leaves much more than what he takes; only the valuables, he’s gone. And when the translation occurs, the children of God, His jewels, will be taken up. But there will be more people left on earth, just like a thief will leave more than he takes.

Now, two in one bed; one taken, one left. Many time, a husband will wake up. This time, he goes search first; she’s gone. The wife wakes up; the husband’s gone. Another place, both of them’s gone; they believe together, gone.

Two women grinding grain. Now, the women in Bible lands grind their flour in the morning. And then it said two men in the field. That signifies later in the morning or in the afternoon; two men in the field. And so, when Jesus comes in the translation, some will be in bed, some will be grinding, some will be in the field. One taken, one left.

“I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”Luke 17: 34 – 36

It will occur over the world at the same time. Millions of people of all ages will leave this earth in a second, the Bible says, in the twinkling of an eye, they’ll be gone.

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”1 Corinthians 15: 52

Little babies: oh, some of the little baby beds will be empty.

Maybe you’ll have two parents sometimes. They don’t believe in God or have God, but that little baby, somehow, God’s going to call for it. He’s going to get him.

And a lot of young people is going to be going on up there.

Who can accuse a child born that don’t have his mind?

Well, you know the little boy come to Jesus. His parents, his eyes, he didn’t have no eyes. He couldn’t see nothing. And Jesus called him. He touched his eyes, created him eyeballs, and said, now, go wash in that pool over there. And they said, and Jesus said, neither has he sinned nor his parents. This is for the glory of God. Sometimes, that’s the only way He’s going to get that one in there. But He’s going to get whoever He has predicted to get.

“And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”John 9: 1 – 3

You may have a 30-year-old son or daughter who has the intelligence of a 5-year-old child. They’re not mature in their mind. The Lord knows why this child is in that condition, and that may be the only way He is going to get him or her into heaven. Remember, all things work together for good to them that love the Lord.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”Romans 8: 28

How about all the heathen that come up through there? Even Paul said, what’s on their conscience and heart, God will judge.

“For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another”Romans 2: 14 – 15

Oh, predestination is going to play a great role.

The Lord knows that if that little baby had the opportunity to grow up, that 30-year-old son or daughter who has the intelligence of a 5-year-old child were to have a mind that is matured, that heathen born in a land where there was no preaching were to hear the gospel of salvation, they would believe, and would be sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the moment of translation. The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His.

“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”Ephesians 1: 13 – 14

“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.”2 Timothy 2: 19

“For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth”.

“And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) It was said unto her, THE ELDER SHALL SERVE THE YOUNGER. As it is written, JACOB HAVE I LOVED, BUT ESAU HAVE I HATED. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, EVEN FOR THIS SAME PURPOSE HAVE I RAISED THEE UP, THAT I MIGHT SHEW MY POWER IN THEE, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE DECLARED THROUTHOUT ALL THE EARTH. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?”Romans 9: 10 – 24

I read from Special Writing # 036:

“THE WILL OF GOD IN ONE’S LIFE”

My letter of encouragement this time concerns the will of God in one’s life! Yes, the Lord knows you even more personally than you know yourself! In His infinite love and wisdom He has a plan for you and every person born in this world! It is a definite plan; and He is nudging you into your place! He foresees all who are to be born; He sees the coming of each one!

Anybody that comes to the Lord Jesus. And your faith has just reached into eternal life. Your faith has given you, by the power of your faith through Jesus, eternal life. And through eternal life, you live in eternity. Your faith is infinite. It will never die. Because it will live with you. How important faith in the word of God is.

In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, that body will be pure light. There will be no more need for our type of clothing. In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, they’re shed like a skin. You’re light, you’re covered in light, all over. A robe of light, and it’s in a twink’ of an eye.

We cannot measure “the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge” of the mighty God, our Lord Jesus. “For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.”

“O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.”Romans 11: 33 – 36

“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

We will be with our eternal God throughout eternity in the glorified body, in pure light. Lord Jesus, we thank you.

You will be blessed.
