|173 Now, many of you that want to put down this word, the Greek word, “pass away.” It comes from the word…I had to find it. I thought, “How is this world going to pass away, and yet we’re going to live on it?” But if you’ll notice, some of you people that wants to put it down, I’ll spell it for you. I couldn’t pronounce it, '''p-a-r-e-r-e-c-h-o-m-i-a'''. I don’t know how to pronounce it. | |||
Now, that way, as I said, when I get…'''The inspiration strikes me for something, then I go back to find out the word. Now, here, I can’t spell the word, or I can’t—I can’t pronounce it. But, in that, the Lord has still give me a way. I go and find out what that word means, then I got it.''' See? Then I got it, again. See? | |||
Heavens and earth will pass away, now, this word means, “passing from one form to another.” '''It does not mean “annihilation,”''' as the English word would mean, pass away, it’s annihilated. But the Hebrew word, or the Greek word here, does not mean pass away; it means, “from passing from one thing to another.” Look, but, “to pass from one condition,” it says, “to another.” 176 Now notice, Paul used it, if you want to read it now. Put it down, you can read it later. In Titus 3:5, Paul is using this same word, means regeneration of man, that man has passed from a sinner to a saint, not completely annihilated. When a man is changed, he isn’t annihilated, but he’s a changed person. He has been changed from what he was to what he is, not annihilated.<ref>William Branham, 64-0802 - The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride, para.173-176 | |||
|The Greek work “Parerchomai,” translated “pass away,” does not mean “termination of existence” or “annihilation,” but means to pass from “one condition of existence to another.” The Apostle Paul in his letter to Titus, (Titus 3:5), speaking of the “Regeneration” of men, uses the same word that Jesus used when, in Matt. 19:28, He promised His Disciples that in the “Regeneration,” that is in the “New Earth,” they should sit on “Twelve Thrones” judging the “Twelve Tribes” of Israel. Now no one supposes that the Regeneration of a man is his Annihilation.” | |||

|'''Here is a deep revelation from God.''' Here, I’ll just stop here. None of these other…I’ll bring the rest of this up, the Lord willing. | |'''Here is a deep revelation from God.''' Here, I’ll just stop here. None of these other…I’ll bring the rest of this up, the Lord willing. | ||

The 144 cubits (Rev. 21:17) then must refer to the “height” of the wall. In this wall are 12 gates, 3 on each side, each gate of one Pearl, and these gates are never closed.<ref>Clarence Larkin, Dispensational Truth, or “God’s Plan and Purpose in the Ages“ (Philadelphia, PA: Clarence Larkin, 1918), 158.</ref> | The 144 cubits (Rev. 21:17) then must refer to the “height” of the wall.

|Did you ever think now, Bride, what it will look like? It is prepared and designed by the '''Divine Architect.''' What will that City look like? Now, we’re going to talk about it for a few minutes. The Divine Architect has prepared it, designed it. And, look, He has designed it with tender hands, for His beloved Bride. What’s it going to look like? | |||
...Now, '''the Divine Architect has designed the New City''', where He will live with His Bride, just to Her touch. No wonder the apostle said, “Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, or neither has ever entered the heart of man.” Let’s see if we can probe into it just for a moment, see what it’s going to look like. | |||
The '''Divine Architect''' has designed this for His Beloved. See? Oh, what a place it must be, when, Divine Nature, a '''Divine Architect''' has designed it for a Divine attribute that’s been Divinely predestinated by a Divine God Who—Who is the Author of Divine Life! What will that City look like! Think of it. | |||
'''Remember, it’s not Heaven. John say, “I saw it coming down out of Heaven.”''' It’s to be on earth. See?<ref>William Branham, 64-0802 - The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride, para. 299-303</ref> | |||
|But there is not only to be a New Heaven and a New Earth, there is to be a '''New City'''. This City is the place Jesus said He was going back to Heaven to prepare for His Bride the Church. John 14:2–4. It is just such a place as we would expect the '''Divine Architect''' to design and build. The description of it is surpassingly grand. It is of Celestial origin. '''It is not Heaven itself, for it comes down “out of Heaven.”''' <Ref>Clarence Larkin, Dispensational Truth, or “God’s Plan and Purpose in the Ages“ (Philadelphia, PA: Clarence Larkin, 1918), 158.</ref> | |||
