25-0801A_THE GOD WHO IS RICH IN MERCY
Eph 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

291 You notice, these--these Cherubims that
John saw here must've been interested in keeping the Tree of Life, so they must
be interested in human beings. Or read Genesis, getting back to Genesis again;
They kept the Tree of Life, guarded it, the Way of Life, the Way of Life. How
is the Way? Jesus said, "I am that Way. I am that Bread that come from God
out of heaven. If a man eats this Bread, he'll live forever." Now, there
is a way back to that Tree of Life. You get it?
Now, at this, I want to show now
and make this sure, it's an altar. Now, this must've been an altar at the
garden of Eden. I tell you why. Do you remember both Cain and Abel come up here
to worship? So that showed that God's altar was moved and set here at the
garden of Eden, and the only way back to Eden is by the altar. Here you are
again (See?), back to Eden through the altar. And they were to keep that way
there, guard it, that they couldn't get back there until this altar was covered
with blood.
(O God, can't people see it?) See, nothing but the Blood. There has to be an atonement, a mercy seat there; this altar of judgment must become a mercy seat; and when this altar, if the Blood is lifted, there'll stand on that judgment day the fire of God's wrath to guard that Tree again. Only one thing will enter into this gate to Eden again, will be through the Blood of Jesus Christ. You see it?
REVELATION.CHAPTER.FOUR.3_ JEFF.IN ROJC 645-716 SUNDAY_ 61-0108
328 Now, we're living in another age. Glory. Oh, I love this age. Don't you? Now, God has a mercy seat today to be guarded. You believe that? Where's the mercy seat found? In the heart of man. Where did it come in the heart of man? At the day of Pentecost when the Holy Ghost (which is God) come into human hearts. Is that right? Now, let's mark this down here, and get ready to draw it if you want to. Pentecost, P-e-n-t; I'll put: Pentecost. This is the mercy seat, the Holy Ghost. Put in here... I'll tell you what, make it more appropriate, let's put in here the "Dove" which means the bird. See? All right, guarding the mercy seat, now has God got guards for the mercy seat today? Now that... Now, watch how beautiful it's drawed out.

98-1 {202}
Remember in the Old Testament? As long as the blood was off the mercy
seat, it was judgment, but as long as the blood was on there, there was mercy.
But when the Lamb walked away, that did it.
REVELATION.CHAPTER.FOUR.1_ JEFF.IN ROJC 551-584 SATURDAY_ 60-1231
Note, "the throne," He set on the throne. He wasn't no more back down in the candlesticks now, on earth. The rapture had done come. He was in glory, setting on His throne. I want you to notice on down, we'll find even in the 5th chapter; it was not the throne of mercy. It wasn't a throne of mercy any more; it was the throne of judgment. It wasn't a throne of grace. It's a throne of judgment because fire and lightning and thunders issued forth from it; no more; mercy's over, the church age was finished. "He that's filthy is filthy still; he that's righteous is righteous still; he that's holy is holy still," no more a throne of mercy.
REVELATION.CHAPTER.FOUR.1_ JEFF.IN ROJC 551-584 SATURDAY_ 60-1231
169 Tonight, the Blood lays on
that throne and it's a mercy seat for every sinner that's seeking mercy. But on
that day, it won't be a mercy seat then; it'll be a judgment seat with a angry
God setting there. "Where... If the righteous is scarcely saved, where
will the sinner and ungodly appear?" Even when He comes in the clouds of
His glory, the mountains will try to find a place to hide. Where are we going
to stay then?
Oh, precious is that flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.
1105-Q-348 348. Brother Branham, some say mercy is
over and no one can be saved. Now, is this true? (I'm glad I got this one.) We
watch and pray--we watch the prayer lines, and it seems some are still finding
mercy. Now, that's the first question, you got two.
"Is mercy over?" Don't
never think that. See? Just keep right on doing everything you can until you're
taken away. See?
"We notice in the prayer
line some's finds mercy." Sure. Mercy's--the doors are open. See? I think
where you got this--this thought might lay between... See, I don't have time to
give each one of these Scriptures their right place (You see?), each one of
these things their right place. They... In the prayer line you find mercy,
certainly.
If I knowed Jesus was coming this afternoon, I'd be doing just the thing I'm doing right now (See?), just continuing right on. Mercy is always open. See?
QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.3_ JEFF.IN COD SUNDAY_ 64-0830M
1105-201 And now, where I think
you get it, is about the finishing of the Seven Church Ages and the Seven Seals
being loosed. See? The Seven Seals, it's manifested what takes place has--what
has took place. The seventh church age, we're at the end of the seventh church
age. When I say the end, that doesn't mean it's this very hour, this very
minute. You remember, the Bible said, back in the times of--of the Lord Jesus,
Paul said, "For the time is at hand." Do you realize how long that
was in God's time? That was yesterday. My time, it's been two thousand years.
See? The time is at hand. See? What God calls at hand is not what we call at
hand. See?
So just keep on believing, keep on praying, keep on... God's still got mercy open; just keep flowing into it as fast as you can. God will do the stopping when it's time to stop. See?
Luk 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Luk 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Luk 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Luk 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Luk 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
