my people" was the call that went forth. It became clear to<br />
many that no man-made ecclesiastical system would accept<br />
or contain the great thing that God was preparing to do in<br />
the earth. In fact, what God was about to do would be a<br />
means of destroying the power of Babylon and the whole<br />
Harlot system. So the Move of God became the worst enemy<br />
the denominations had. Let me make a difference between<br />
the denominational systems that divide God's people and the<br />
precious people, preachers, and even officials bound up in<br />
these systems. God loves those dear people, and so do I.<br />
But He hates the Babylonian systems that divide the saints<br />
into warring camps and prevent them from progressing into<br />
new spiritual truths. . and SO DO I!<br />
Another wonderful truth that God began to give revelation on<br />
was the coming of Christ. First of all, He gave glorious<br />

very nature of God nor the principles by which He always<br />
operated. Back to the Bible we went, to examine again the<br />
scriptures we had based this teaching on. Besides the ones I<br />
mentioned in the book of Revelation, there was I<br />
<strong>The</strong>ssalonians 4,<br />
Matthew 24, Luke 17, Isaiah 26:20 and others. Other<br />
scriptures such as Matthew 25 and the ten virgins, had been<br />
twisted all out of shape trying to make them look like they<br />
were saying that we had been taken off the earth at the<br />
rapture.<br />
"ONE TAKEN. . . AND THE OTHER LEFT"<br />
To give you an idea of the way the scriptures were mutilated<br />
by those straining to prove this theory, let us look at the<br />
example in Matthew 24. Here it tells us that at His coming,<br />
"one shall be taken, and the other left". Songs were written,<br />
