That 11th chapter comes to its end in the 4th verse of the 12th chapter. It begins, as you know, with a definition of faith, and then it begins taking Enos and the characters all the way through who had not yet received the Promise. Yet they were sustained by faith because the whole chapter is a hymn in praise of faith. But go through to the 4th verse of the 12th chapter. In spite of their not receiving the Promise, they still remained faithful. These characters are states of consciousness; they are not individuals as we are. These are states through which we pass. And in spite of all the wonderful things that the characters said, they still remained faithful but did not receive the Promise. I hope that everyone here tonight will go to their grave in faith, even if you do not, between now and that moment in time when you depart the world, actually experience what I have experienced. It is my hope that you will. Then you will be numbered among those named in the 11th chapter right up through the 4th verse of the 12th. Remain faithful even though it has not erupted. There are those in my southern class down in L.A. and those in New York who write me of their experiences, but I do know they are all human enough to want to write me and tell me it has happened to them. Many of them have had marvelous adumbrations of the Word . . wonderful adumbrations. It is not the true Word, but it is a wonderful foreshadowing that should come in the not-distant future. It is not the Word, but it is a marvelous foreshadowing. Many of them are having it. So, I only ask everyone to remain faithful like those mentioned in the 11th and into the 4th verse of the 12th. They remained faithful, although they had not yet received the Promise. The Promise is the child. That is the beginning of all the Promises. “I will give you a Son that will be your own heir,” and the heir born into your house, which is now the son of the slave, won’t be your heir. You will have your own heir when Sarah will conceive and have a child. And Sarah laughed, but so did Abraham laugh, but he wasn’t criticized. Sarah was criticized. And he said, “Why did Sarah laugh?” when it is obviously stated that Abraham laughed too. It seems ludicrous if you take it on the literal side, in the secular sense. He was an old, old man, 100 years old; and Sarah was an old woman, 90 years old. The journey is so long, and after all these years, am I still going to have this child that was promised? Now, it comes to us at the end of the journey. That is when it comes to all. When the child comes, it is the end of the journey. The word “telos” means end. It means, “Be ye perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect.” The word “perfect” is defined from the word “telos,” meaning the end. When you reach the end, the child is born. He had reached the end, and strangely enough, he was 100 years old. And a hundred is “qoph,” and “qoph” is the back of the head. That is the symbol of the number “100,” right at the back of the head, exactly where you find the vibration starting, and you feel your whole head is coming apart like in an earthquake. And it is from here that you come out. And you are 100 years old, and a hundred is the numerical value of the letter “qoph,” the back of the head. Are there any further questions? This is the last night, so take full advantage of it.68 ¶31
