What Is The Attraction On The Mountain?Not long ago, standing at this pulpit, it was said by the Holy Spirit, “The day will come that when they’ll drive down a stake in front of your house, they’ll move your gate. So that, you’ll bypass it and not be angry.” I seen my gate tore up and laying out upon the hillside. I seen the hill in front of me all dug up, boards and things laying there where someone mashed it up. He said... I looked, and there was a little Ricky that had got up there and knocked that gate out, done this. I said, “Why didn’t you tell me?” He got smart with me and I had to hit him. And when it did, I said, “I haven’t done this since I was in the ring, but I just want you to know,” and I swatted him one. And when I knocked him down, I picked him up again and knocked him down again. And I picked him up three or four times, and then kicked him over the hill. So then I went over there, and I said, “That ain’t right.” And I picked him up and shook his hands, I said, “I’m not angry with you, but I just want you to know you can’t talk to me like that.” And then when I turned and come back, the Holy Spirit was standing there at the gate, said, “Now, bypass this, when that stake’s drove down turn westward.” This Book is everything that I need, This Book is a good Recipe, (the way that shows to go around my trouble) And then that Book is the Word, and that Word is God. Bypass your troubles, It’ll tell you what to do.
Three years ago I heard a friend of mine, the city surveyor, lives down the lane from me, driving a stake down. I went out there and said, “What’s the matter, Mud?” Mr. King’s son, personal friend. Said, “Billy, they’re going to widen this road.” You all remember. I said, “It may be the bridge.” I told Brother Wood, I said, “Hold your property. Maybe that bridge is going to come through up here, something.” The lane was tore up, bricks, rocks throwed all over everything. So he said... I said, “Hold your property.” And then when I... Mr. King told me that was going to happen, I went in and said to my wife setting there, “Honey, there’s something written about that. It’s THUS SAITH THE LORD, somewhere.”
I went in and got my book, looked into it, and it said, “It shall come to pass...” Eight years later! Then when I looked at it, I said, “It’s time now, honey, we must turn west.” Two days after that, standing in the room about ten o’clock one morning, I went into the Spirit of God, and I saw that little cluster of doves flying, looked at them little birds. You remember it. I seen seven Angels in the form of a pyramid, come rushing into me, said, “Turn westward, go to Tucson, be forty miles northeast. And you’ll be picking a cocklebur” (or, a bullheader, they call it there) “off your clothes.”
Brother Fred Sothmann, setting there looking at me right now, was there that morning. I had forgot about it. I said, “A blast went off like an earthquake that shook pretty near everything there was in the country. I don’t see how a man could survive it.” I was scared. I stood at Phoenix, you all listening in tonight bear me record. I preached on the sermon, Sirs, What Time is It? “Where are we at?” I went West. Many of you here got that tape, many of you here heard it said a year or more before it happened.
I went West, wondering what was going to happen. One day I got a call from the Lord. I told my wife, I said, “Honey, I’m probably my work is over.” I didn’t know. I said, “God’s probably finished with me now and I’ll be going Home. You go get with Billy, take the children, God will make a way for you, somehow. Go on and live true to God. See that the children get through school, raise them in the admonition of God.” She said, “Bill, you don’t--you don’t know that’s true.” I said, “No. But a man couldn’t survive that.” And one morning the Lord woke me up, said, “Get up there in Sabino Canyon.” And I took a piece of paper and my Bible. The wife said, “Where you going?” I said, “I don’t know. I’ll tell you when I come back.”
I went up in the canyon, climbed plumb up where the eagles was flying around. I was watching some deer standing there. I knelt down to pray, and raised up my hands, and a Sword struck my hand. I looked around, I thought, “What’s that? I’m not beside myself. Here’s that Sword in my hand, bright, shiny, glistening in the sun.” I said, “Now, there’s not people in miles of me way up here in this canyon. Where could that come from?” I heard a Voice, said, “That’s the King’s Sword.” I said, “A king knights a man with a sword.” He, the Voice come back, said, “Not a king’s sword, but ‘THE King’s Sword,’ the Word of the Lord.” Said, Fear not, it’s only the Third Pull. It’s the vindication of your ministry.”
I was going hunting with a friend, not knowing what was going to happen. And someone called me, the one that criticized me about that picture of the Angel of the Lord, the one that took it. I had to go to Houston about his son, for he was going in the death row and was going to be killed in a few days. And he met me in there and throwed his arms around me, said, “Think, the very man that I criticized comes to save my only son!” The humane society give me what they call an oscar, or whatever you want to call it, for saving a life.
Then we went back, I went up in the mountain to hunt. And there Brother Fred and I, one morning when I walked out, I had already got my javelina, and I looked and seen the place where he went. I said, “Brother Fred, go over on that mountain early in the morning now, about the break of day, and I’ll get on the other one. I won’t shoot at the hog, won’t kill him. But if they start over this way, the herd, I’ll shoot in front of them then run them back.”
Brother Fred went out there and there was no hogs. He waved at me and I seen. I went down in a canyon, some big chasms, the sun was just coming up. I come around the other side of the hill, not thinking nothing about the prophecy. Set down, waiting, resting, I thought, “What happened to those hogs?” And I picked up my... Set down like Indians do, you know, cross-legged, and I looked on my overall leg and there was a bullheader. I picked it up, and I said, “That’s strange! Here I am, about forty miles northeast of Tucson. There’s my little boy Joseph setting there waiting for me.” And as I started to look, I seen a herd of hogs come out about a thousand yards from me, up on a mountain, I throwed the bullheader down. I said, “I’ll get them. I’ll go get Brother Fred, and I’ll hang up a piece of paper to let know which way to go on this ocotillo here, and we’ll get Brother Fred.” And I started up the mountain, running as hard as I could on the other side. All of a sudden, I thought somebody shot me. I never heard such a blast, it shook the whole country. And, when it did, standing before me was seven Angels in a cluster.
I met Brother Fred and them a little after. Said, “What was it?” I said, “That was it.” ”What are you going to do?” ”Return home. For, THUS SAITH THE LORD, the seven mysteries that’s been hid in the Bible all these years, these denominations and everything, God is going to open those seven mysteries to us in the Seven Seals.” There was that circle coming up from the earth, like a mist forming. When it did, it went plumb up into the mountain, begin to circle on westward from the way it come. Science found it after while, thirty miles high and twenty-five miles across, just exactly in the circle of the pyramid.
And the other day, standing there, turned the picture to the right, and there’s Jesus as He was in the Seven church Ages, the white wig on, showing Supreme Deity. He’s Alpha and Omega; He’s the First and the Last; He is the Supreme Judge of all eternity, standing there, confirmed the Message of this hour. And there shall be Light about the evening time! What’s it all about? What was it?
I went westward. Upon that same mountain, passing up with Banks Wood there, said, “Throw up a rock. Say to Mr. Wood, ‘THUS SAITH THE LORD, you’ll see the Glory of God.’” The very next day, standing there, a whirlwind came down and blasted the mountains out. Rocks cut the top of the trees off, about three or four feet above my head. Made three big blasts, and the brethren come running over. There was about fifteen man standing there, preachers and everything else. “What was it?” He said, “What was it?” I said, “Judgment is striking the west coast.”
About two days after that, the earthquake almost sunk Alaska. What is this Light up on Sunset Mountain in the Coronado Forest of Arizona? What is this strange thing that happened up there that the people’s been driving east from west picking up the rocks that laid around there where It struck, and every one of them, every one rock, has three corners on it, that It tore off. (The three are One.) They’re laying on desks, on paper weights, across the nation. What is this strange thing upon Sunset Mountain in the Coronado Forest?
Junior Jackson listening in, you remember the dream he had that I interpreted, “going towards the setting of the sun”? And this happened on “Sunset” Mountain! It’s the evening time, sunset time. The sunset Message through a setting of history, a setting of prophecy, rather, being fulfilled. And it shall be Light at the evening time upon Sunset Mountain in the Coronado Forest, forty miles north of Tucson. Get on the map and see if Sunset Peak there. That’s exactly where it happened. I never know it till the other day.
Everything, that shall never die, it’s constantly unrolling itself. From the very thing happening, to the picture being Jesus standing looking at us, and now exactly on Sunset Mountain, and the sunset Light. The evening Light has come, God vindicating Himself. What is it? It is a fact’s, that God and Christ are one. The “white.” How many seen it, the white wig upon Him, as we talked in Revelation 1? See, the Supreme Deity, Supreme Authority! No other voice, no other god, no other nothing. “In Him dwells the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” The Angels themselves was His wig. Amen.
What’s happened upon Mount Sunset? God confirming His Word. That’s what all this noise is about. Notice, it’s God fulfilling His promised Word again, of Revelation 10:1 to 7, “And in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel’s Message, the mystery of God should be finished.” The hidden mystery of Revelation 10:1 to 7, the last message to the last church age. Fulfills exactly, in this age, St. Luke 17:30, “The day when the Son of man shall be revealed.” ”And there shall rise false prophets and false Christs, show great signs and wonders, insomuch it’d deceive the Elected if possible.” The people still in doubt. And, as usual, the church is just as puzzled.
And the science all through Tucson yet, they’re writing pieces and put in the paper. Way back over there on Mount Lemmon, them big cameras didn’t see it rising up from where we was standing; drifting on towards the west, showing the time is over. It can’t go but a little piece there, it’s at the west coast. Judgment struck just in the very way it went. Going right up over Phoenix and right on across, on to Prescott and across the mountains to the west coast, right on up into... Where was they going? Right on up into Alaska, and she’s thundering, heading right that way.
And the observatories and all of them in Tucson are still asking, research of science trying to find out what it is. So high there can’t be fog, mist, or nothing up there. “What did it? Where’s it at?” They’re just as puzzled of that supernatural halo hanging yonder in the sky as they was when the Magi come in following a star, saying, “Where is He that’s born King of the Jews?” What was it? God fulfilling His Word, “And there shall rise a star out of Jacob.”
And the God of heaven promised the evening time would have evening Light. Three years ago this mystery was a prophecy, “What time is it, sir?” But now it’s history. It’s passed. The promise is fulfilled. What time is it, sir, and what’s this attraction? God fulfilling His Word! He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever.
