They That Were Ready
REVELATION 19:7-9
7 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. (Notice – made herself Ready – Noah and his group made themselves ready)
8 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.
9 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.
Notice – First the marriage of the bride to Christ in verse 7, and then she is being dressed in fine linen in verse 8, and then the marriage supper comes after that in verse 9.
MATTHEW 25:8-10
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Remember that the marriage is not the rapture translation, the marriage of the lamb is the uniting of the bride to Christ, and that takes place on earth well before the event of the rapture and the marriage supper in that other dimension. So this parable is dealing with the events that are taking place right now before the catching away of the bride.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
They That Were Ready
Mathew 25 comes after Mathew 24, and Mathew 24 was the opening of the seven seals because Mathew 24 ends with “as it was in the days of Noah” which is the 7th seal of the coming of the Lord. But when we get to Mathew 25 (the story of the wise and foolish virgins) it continues to deal with the seventh seal of the events connected to the second coming of the Lord – so these parables in Matthew 25 are dealing with the events that are associated with the time that we are living in now concerning the groups that are following this end time message.
MATTHEW 25:8-10 Read again –
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. (Your lamp is your human spirit - Proverbs 20:27 "the spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord” And your spirit is made up of your Memory, Imagination, Conscience, Affection and Reasoning – so your lamp is to do with the realm of your mind (your thinking). And we know that it is the Holy Spirit dwelling in you that brings the illumination of truth to your mind so that you can understand and receive the word for your day – so it is the Oil of the Holy Spirit in you that continues to illuminate the truth of this hour to your mind and makes it clear to you. And so it was this that the foolish virgins ran out of - the continuation of the illumination of the revelation of the word, in other words they didn’t continue and go all the way with the revelation of the word)
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. (Buying is to do with a price being paid – it is not that you can buy the Holy Spirit, but there is a price that you have to pay of yielding your human spirit to the word of this hour, and that is what is require for you to do to make yourself ready)
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Notice again – they that were ready went in with him to the marriage, you and Christ both going along together into a marriage union which is you and the word becoming one by your spirit coming into full agreement with the word of this hour.
***Remember that the marriage of the bride to Christ takes place here on earth first before we go in the rapture to the wedding supper. So this parable of the wise and foolish virgins is going on right now in the ranks of this message because some are going into a marriage union with the word of this hour, and some are not.
PROVING.HIS.WORD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-6 SUNDAY_ 64-0816
236 Now, remember, that was not Jesus talking to Abraham there, that could discern the thoughts in Sarah's mind behind him. That was not Jesus, He had not yet been born (He is talking about Jesus the flesh man that was born of the virgin Mary). But it was a man in human flesh, that Abraham called "Elohim, the great Almighty." Showing... And Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom," now watch close, "in the days of Sodom, so will it be at the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man is being revealed." Not no more as a church, see, not no more; the Bride is called, see. "In that day the Son of man will be revealed." What? To join the Church to the Head, unite, the marriage of the Bride. The Bridegroom call will come right through this, when the Son of man will come down and come in human flesh to unite the two together. The Church has to be the Word, He is the Word, and the two unites together, and, to do that, it'll take the manifestation of the revealing of the Son of man. Not a clergyman. I--I don't know, I... Do you see what I mean? See, it's Son of man, Jesus Christ, will come down in human flesh among us, and will make His Word so real that it'll unite the Church and Him as one, the Bride, and then she'll go Home to the Wedding Supper. Amen. She's already united, see, we go to the Wedding Supper, not to the marriage. "... fill your flesh... self, of all the flesh of mighty men, 'cause the marriage of the Lamb has come." But, the rapture, is going to the Wedding Supper. When, the Word here unites with the person, and they two become one. And then what does it do then? It manifests the Son of man again, not the church theologians. The Son of man! The Word and the Church becomes one. Whatever the Son of man done, He was the Word, the Church does the same thing.
That’s the coming of Christ in bride form – in your flesh and my flesh.
9-1 INTRODUCTION.THE.REVELATION.OF.JESUS.CHRIST - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.1
INTRODUCTION
Though this volume will concern itself with various major doctrines (such as the Godhead, Water Baptism, etc.) found in Revelation, chapters One through Three, its main theme is the setting forth of a detailed study of the Seven Church Ages. This is necessary in order to study and understand the rest of the Revelation, for out of the Ages come the Seals, and out of the Seals come the Trumpets, and out of the Trumpets come the Vials. Like the first burst of a Roman candle, the Church Ages come forth with a mighty initial illumination, without which there could be no further light. But once the brilliance of the Seven Church Ages is given by Divine revelation, light upon light follows, until the whole of the Revelation opens wide before our wondering eyes; and we, edified and purified by its Spirit, are made ready for His glorious appearing, even our Lord and Saviour, the One True God, Jesus Christ.
***You are made ready for His glorious appearing by first being united with him by your agreement with the word of this hour.
I PETER 3:18-20
18 ¶ For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
Preparing is to make ready prior to the event. While Noah was making ready under the instruction of the message of the hour that God had given them for that time, the longsuffering of God waited.
379-1 A.RESUME.OF.THE.AGES - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.10
But what about the true seed? It will happen just as we have said. The people of God are being made ready by the Word of Truth from the messenger to this age. In her will be the fulness of Pentecost for the Spirit will bring the people right back to where they were at the beginning. That is "Thus saith the Lord."
GOD.DOESN'T.CALL.MAN.TO.JUDGMENT.WITHOUT.FIRST.WARNING.HIM_ JEFF.IN V-8 N-3 WEDNESDAY_ 63-0724
63 Now, God giving warning, "Prepare for a judgment." The atomic bombs are in the hangars, everything setting ready. And God, before He can let this thing happen, He makes a call down through, like He did in Sodom, "Come out of it. Get ready. There is something going to happen."
64 Like in the days of Noah, before God sent the waters to destroy the world in the great antediluvian world that had come off into sin, as Jesus clearly said that it was a day just like this. "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." How that the women on the rampage, and--and marrying and giving in marriage, and--and the great scientific achievements, and the smart educated going into the intellectual side, and the little humble Flock sitting off to one side waiting the pending judgment and the escape. And before God sent that judgment, He sent a prophet.
65 Just like He did to Hezekiah, He said, "Get ready, for the judgments are ready to fall."
66 And he made the people ready for the time. Noah made the people ready, and it was a call of mercy before judgment.
THE.VOICE.OF.THE.SIGN_ DENHAM.SP.LA SATURDAY_ 64-0321E
105 Noah, a prophet on the land--in the land, a sign of the coming judgment. Moses, a prophet in the land, the sign of a coming judgment. Elijah, prophet in the land, sign of coming judgment. John, a prophet in the land, a sign of coming judgment to Israel; they were absolutely cut off.
106 Notice, sign! What does the sign do? The sign is to attract the attention, and get the elected ready, and out of the way before judgment strikes. That's what Noah did, got the elected ready. The rest of them, and what does it do? The sign, and the voice of the sign, condemns the unbeliever and gets him ready for judgment. It gets the elected ready for the escape. That's what sign is. That's what signs are given for, for the coming judgment. To the elected, they see it.
***The proof that you are elected is because you see it – you see the message for your day.
62-1 SARDISEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.7
… for the coming of the Lord will be as it was in the days of Noah. The eight saved were well aware of the impending flood, and being aware were prepared and saved. But the world of the ungodly was swept away. Though they daily were in contact with the righteous and heard the truth, they turned it aside until it was too late. Those completely carnal people in that ancient period type out today the nominal Christians whose lives are full of earthly things, and take pleasure in them to such an extent that they have no desire for the Spiritual, and are not at all aware of, nor readied for His appearing.
**So what does it take in this hour for us to be prepaired and readied? It is just as it was in Noah’s day, Noah had the word of the Lord come to him in the form of the message of that hour that revealed Christ to him in the form of the Ark. And so it was the revelation of Christ that they grew and advanced in as the Ark was being constructed. And so it was their continual obedience and adherence to that message that made them ready.
***As an individual - God is leading you in this end time age to a maturity for who you are so that you will be “ready” to receive rapturing faith at the time of the translation when that time comes.
*The trump is what awakens the sleeping bride of seven church ages so that they can be gathered with us here on earth first before we all go together to meet the Lord in the air in that other dimension.
*So the shout and voice part of the rapture cycle is the events and the vehicle to transport you into a condition of preparation for rapturing faith to come to you at that last stage before the going away in the change of body and the translation.
****Noah and his group continued to ready themselves by continuing to build on the ark which was just a symbol of the advancement of the revelation of Christ, this is showing us that we also need to continue in our building of the advancement of the revelation of Christ in this hour.
****Don’t resist the continual advancement of the Lord being revealed to you through the truth of the message of the hour. That is what God is using to lead you to that place to be ready.
***We are to take the little book (which is the message of this hour) out of the angel’s hand and eat the book so that we and the truth of the message become one and the same. That is the marriage of the Bride to Christ – that is the “Invisible Union of the Bride to Christ” in this hour.

79 And I believe we're on the borderland tonight. I was wondering about all my meetings and things, how I had to cancel them out. I truly believe, before the church can have the rapture, it's got to have rapturing faith. We can't even have faith for Divine healing, let alone rapturing faith. Got to have a faith that'll change and quicken this body, and be taken away. I believe there's a church on its road tonight, a power of the living God, that men will speak the Word here and there, and it'll flash like lightning. And a church is coming out, not a psychologist, not some of this put-on, make-belief; but a real, true, genuine, anointed Holy Ghost, called-out church. Amen. This is what our aim is to be in this hour, because this is what we are going to come to by the leadership of the word in our lives

And around the world she's went, when revival fires had been built for fifteen years on nearly every mountain...?... Divine healing across the nations, and the power, and restoration... And now, I believe she's ready to strike that final climax yonder to bring forth a faith that'll rapture the Church into glory (It's the truth.), and She's laying in the Messages. We're really at the end time. We've talked about it and everything, but the thing has moved upon us now.

The other angels was messengers, men of the earth. But this Angel... This said, to the angel of the church of Laodicea; to the angel of the church of Ephesus, messengers of the earth (See?), men, messengers, prophets, and so forth to the church. But this One didn't come from the earth; He come down from heaven, because the mystery's all finished. And when the mystery's finished, the Angel said, "Time shall be no more," and seven thunders throwed their voices out.
What if it is something to let us know how to enter in to the rapturing faith. Is it? Will we run and leap over walls? Is there something fixing to happen, and these old marred, vile bodies are going to be changed?

Is it--is it time? Is the minist--the mystery all finished? Has the sounding all over? Is that really them seven thunders fixing to utter out something that the little group that He's gathered together will receive a rapturing faith to go in the rapture when He comes; for we'll be changed as quick as those Angels come: in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up together with those that is asleep to meet the Lord in the air.

There's something we've got to step farther; we--we can't have enough faith for Divine healing hardly. We've got to have enough faith to be changed in a moment and be swept up out of this earth, and we'll find that after a while, the Lord willing, find where it's written.

World’s first human head transplant a success, professor says
By Yaron Steinbuch
November 17, 2017
The world’s first human head transplant has been carried out on a corpse in China, according to a controversial Italian doctor who said Friday that he and his team are now ready to perform the surgery on a living person.
Dr. Sergio Canavero, chief of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, said the operation was carried out by a team led by Dr. Xiaoping Ren, who last year successfully grafted a head onto a monkey’s body.
“The first human transplant on human cadavers has been done. A full head swap between brain-dead organ donors is the next stage,” Canavero said at a press conference in Vienna, the Telegraph of the UK reported.
“And that is the final step for the formal head transplant for a medical condition which is imminent,” said Canavero, who gained a mix of fame and notoriety in 2015 for his Frankenstein-like plans to achieve his feat within two years.
Canavero said the successful transplant by the surgeons at Harbin Medical University shows that his techniques for reconnecting the spine, nerves and blood vessels to allow two bodies to live together will work.
Although Russian computer scientist Valery Spiridonov, who suffers from a muscle-wasting disease, volunteered to become the first head transplant patient, the team has said the first recipient will likely be Chinese, because the chance of a Chinese donor body will be higher.
Canavero, who has claimed to have successfully carried out the surgery on rats and monkey, said scientific papers detailing the procedure on the corpse, as well as more details of the first live human transplant, would be released in the next few days.
He said a live operation would take place in China because his efforts to get backing for the project were dismissed by the medical communities in the US and Europe, according to USA Today.
Canavero plans to sever the spinal cords of the donor and recipient with a diamond blade. To protect the recipient’s brain during the transfer, it will be cooled to a state of deep hypothermia, he said.
CHRIST.IS.REVEALED.IN.HIS.OWN.WORD_ JEFF.IN V-4 N-10 SUNDAY_ 65-0822M
143 All right, the entire Bible is the entire revelation of Jesus Christ, making Himself known to every age. He made Hisself known in the days of Luther, as a foundation; the church, the foot, the legs.
Like He did King Nebuchadnezzar; you remember how he dreamed those dreams, and come from the head down? See? Now He comes from the feet up. See? In the Babylonian kingdom He showed all those Old Testament's, He come from the head down, until He come down till God Himself become flesh at the foot of the ladder. Now here in the New Testament, He brings Hisself right back up again, to the Head again, the Head of gold, to be crowned. See? Look. You get it?
See, God was in the beginning, and He kept coming down, through the prophets, and on down, until God Himself became human like us, plumb down at the foot of the ladder, a baby born in a manger; hated, rejected, despised, and a bad name, and everything He was. Then He started rising, see, and from the feet He begin to build the Church, the Bride, coming back, on back; and now coming out into the Headstone, where it all joins together and makes the one great transfigured Body of Jesus Christ.
144 God is revealed in every age by His promised Word to that age.
