22. Ministry hones for Headstone, rapture.
SPOKEN WORD ORIGINAL SEED. JEFF. IN 62-0318E
107-1 Did you notice that the great seal, it's the pyramid? Anybody ever
know that the pyramid never had the capstone put on it? How many
knows that? Sure. I been there in Egypt, Cairo: seen it. Never had the
capstone, why? It was rejected, the cornerstone. That was the cornerstone
that held this building, is a keystone. How many knows what a keystone
is? When the arch is built, then the keystone holds it together. The
cornerstone's what holds up the building, is that right? And the
cornerstone in the pyramid was the capstone, was the keystone that held
the rest of it together. Now, this keystone was rejected.
Did you notice, up there, it's standing up above, up above the pyramid.
Now, what did that represent when Enoch built it?
SPOKEN WORD ORIGINAL SEED. JEFF. IN 62-0318E
127-1 Now, this ministry here has to hone into a place till the very same
works that Jesus did... Because when He comes, the Headstone will catch
right into it, because they won't... There'll be a rapture come, and they'll
be taken, and the rest of the body will come with it; and she'll be gone
into heaven. Not a denomination, friends; a church of the Word of God...

SIGN OF HIS COMING. CLEVELAND, TN 62-0407
E-119 Look and what... do... If you got a dollar bill in your pocket, take
it out. On one side, the right side, it's got the American seal, a eagle with
the arrows in his paw. That's the seal of the United States. Then on the
other side it's got the pyramid. And the cap never was put on the
pyramid. It's got like a big eye shining there for the cap, and it said "The
Great Seal."
Why would that be the Great Seal in the United States instead of our
own seal? Did you ever think of it? Look on it, see if it don't say "The
Great Seal." Why wasn't the pyramid ever had a cap on it? Same thing is
in the temple of Solomon: the headstone was rejected. Certainly. But it's
coming down.
And I've been to the pyramids in Egypt. And them stones are laid in
there so perfect you can't take a razor blade, hardly, and go between
them. Now, they fit perfectly. How they built it, they don't know, and the
sphinx and so forth. They can't tell. But look; right where that
Compiler: Don Leitner The Capstone [1962-1965] Page1 of 285
headstone's supposed to fit, it's honed. If they ever could find the
headstone, it would fit just so perfectly snug it would bind the whole
thing together. That's the Bride of Jesus Christ. When the headstone
comes, there will be a church here on earth to receive it. It'll have a
ministry just exactly like His. It'll just go right in there, bringing up the
feet, Luther, and all the rest of them for the resurrection.
Some fell asleep in one watch, some in the next watch, and some on
down to the seventh watch. That's the seven church ages. But when the
Bridegroom come they woke (Amen), come out from--from among the
dead, and rose in the resurrection. We're living in the last days.
You say, "What did you say? Luther, Wesley: justification,
sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost?" Yes. And then the headstone.
Is that right? The headstone was in the pyramid.
Let's take the ark. Let's take... Here's one. Let's get away from that part,
come back here. Let's take the ark: one floor, two floors, three floors. Is
that right? Where did the light come from? Where was the window?
Upstairs on the third floor. That's where the power of God will come to a
church. A sun (s-u-n) shined through there, but the S-o-n will come in
this way to the church that God's honing out and getting ready, bringing
in a ministry to the church just exactly like what the palmerworm, and--
and the locust, and the caterpillar eat up back there.

ministry just exactly like His--His whole Spirit as it gets closer, closer,

knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness. Now,
what's it do? Then they're waiting for the Headstone which is love; for
God is love, and He controls, and He is the Strength of every one of
these things. Yes, sir. Right in here. Right in here. See, I got in between
