The Revelation of Jesus Christ going to buy a radio and give it to the Bible Institute of Los Angeles and the Church of the Open Door, in order that in these last days the Word of God concerning redemption may go out to the lost world." That, my friend, is real stewardship of temporal things. And such stewardship the Lord will not fail to honor when He comes to claim the .title deed to the earth. "UNIVERSAL ADORATION OF THE LAMB" 1. The Song of the R.edeemed. "And when he had taken the book, the four Jiving creatures and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth" (verses 8~l O). When the Lamb of God took the title deed to the earth, there was a great hallelujah chorus in heaven. He has the right to the book, the right to break the seals. What is the connection here? When the Son of God takes the seven~ sealed book from the hand of the Father, what does it mean? I am confident that one of these days I shall stand upon this earth in my resurrection body, and that I shall reign, with every other believer, who has been redeemed by the shed blood of the Lamb of God. But, you ask, how can you be so confident of that, when the world today is in the grip of greedy capitalistic governments, who are warred against by another greedy class claiming to have the interests of the working class at heart-in the face of that, you ask me, upon what do you base your hope of one day ruling with Christ over the earth? Well, let me tell you. The Lord Jesus Christ is the rightful King. One day He is going to take the title deed to the earth, and return to break the power of the enemies of God. And when He sets up His kingdom, we shall reign with Him, "kings and priests unto God and His Father." 2. The Worship of the Angels and of All Creation.
