(Revelation) No Trumpets Sounding — Willie Mullan

Revelation 10 and the Structure of the Book

Chapter 10, the book of the Revelation, Chapter 10, and we're going right through this chapter this evening, right through to the end, just eleven verses, eleven very important verses. Now I wonder again this evening, if you closed your Bible just now, can you tell me, just generally speaking, all that has gone on in these nine chapters of the book of the Revelation?

Supposing that the Communists were to take you away and put you into a cell somewhere, could you go over very clearly in your mind all that's contained in these nine chapters of the book of the Revelation, these first nine chapters?

You could do it like this, you know, in chapters 1, 2, and 3, you see the church of Jesus Christ, you see the church on earth, and you see our Lord walking in the midst of all the local churches that compose the church on earth.

So that you get this clear in your mind, that in chapters 1, 2, 3, the church is on earth and the Lord is in the midst of the churches. Then chapters 4 and 5, the scene shifts and you are in heaven now.

In fact, the church has been translated to heaven. Well, there's a multitude that sing this great song, this redemption song. They sing thou art worthy for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation.

If there are some amillennialists and you would not want to argue with me, if it is not the church, would you come round and tell me who it is? Because there's a crowd in heaven and they're singing thou art redeemed us out of every tongue and kindred and people and nation.

So that in chapters 1, 2, 3, the church is on earth, and in chapters 4 and 5, the church is in heaven. And in chapter 6 we see the Lord himself of the line of the tribe of Judah taking the book out of the hand of God and he begins to open this book.

And I have said many times that he becomes here the executor of God's will for readjustment of this earth so that it can become the eternal home of the redeemed. And this booklet he takes out of the hand of God has seven seals.

And in this chapter, chapter 6, he opens six of these seals. The first four you see the four horsemen come. And then you can see the affliction of the witnesses that God will have even after the church is gone because he will not leave himself without a witness.

And at the end of chapter 6 you see the whole world standing in consternation, holding their hands up, praying for the rocks and the mountains to fall upon them, hide them from the face of him that sitteth on the throne for the great day of his wrath is come.

And the great tribulation is upon the earth. It's just the kings of the earth and the great men of the earth and the chief captains of the earth and the mighty men of the earth and the bold men of the earth, but you can't see the church enough.

They're just the inhabitants of the earth. So that you can see that in chapters 1, 2, 3 the church is on earth. In chapters 4 and 5 the church is in heaven. In chapter 6 the Lord, of the executor of God's will, he's beginning to readjust this whole earth.

He's going to put up evil. Now, in chapter 7 it was a parenthetical chapter. That's a bit we must keep in mind. So to stop the sinning, and let us see 144 ,000 being sealed. They're all Jews. Because God has done to me some special witnesses in the tribulation, and then you see a great company coming out of the tribulation, washing the robes.

There's a crowd already in heaven. These are out of... My little church was in heaven before the tribulation began. These are the tribulation saints. And then when that parenthetical chapter is passed the Lord goes on opening the seals.

He's got the seventh one to open. He opens 6 in chapter 6. Chapter 7 is a parenthetical chapter. Chapter 8 begins with the opening of the seventh seal. And as he opens this seventh seal seven angels stand before the Lord.

They've got seven trumpets. And you remember in chapter 8 four of the trumpets were sounded. And we saw a third part of everything on the earth being burned. And a third part of everything around the earth.

And a third part of everything under the earth. And a third part of everything above the earth. The sun, the moon, the stars. And then we came to chapter 9 and we saw the fifth trumpet being sounded. And the bottomless pit was opened and demons came to torment men for five months.

And in the second part when the sixth trumpet was sounded we saw these four angels being loosed in chapter 9. And what a night we had as we looked at them. Why they came to kill. Oh yes, they're fallen angels.

They have to be died. It was mercy that tied them. But now the wrath of God is letting them loose. Now when you get to the end of chapter 9 you see you're at the sixth trumpet, aren't you? You know when we were at the sixth seal there came a parenthetical portion.

I know when you come to the sixth trumpet we're at another parenthetical portion. The Lord just is stopping the revelation just to let us look at something. And we're going to look at the Lord tonight.

Christ Revealed During the Parenthetical Portion

The Lord himself. And that's something very wonderful. So that this chapter, no trumpets are sounding. It's the parenthetical portion. In fact, we're getting a revelation of Christ here. And the parenthetical portion runs on into chapter 11 right down to verse 14.

And we see the two witnesses who were actually super witnesses standing up for God against the beast in the great tribulation. And that's our portion for next Tuesday if the Lord will. These two witnesses.

And there are so many trues there that I don't begin to outline them now. You know they're actual persons and the beast eventually kills them and they're slain and their bodies there. Spell it out now.

Their bodies lie on the streets of Jerusalem. And then of course you know the whole world sees them rising. Their bodies are raised. Tell the Russellites to read it. Because it is thoughtfully written of action.

And then they are slain. And it is thoughtfully attentioned but we'll hold it for next week. There are many trues there. But we must try to do this chapter, this one up first. This is chapter 10. Verse 1.

And I, that is John, I, John, saw another mighty angel come down from heaven. And I am saying that this is the Lord Jesus. And of course immediately I say that I'm challenged. I know there are folks who run to this chapter and say yes, this is the Lord Jesus.

And this proves that he was a created being because he is a sort of super angel. Now we'll take that up just now. You know we've heard the word angel time and time again in this wonderful book. Let's go back again just for a moment.

And we're back to the very first chapter of the book of the Revelation. Revelation chapter 1. And you know that John is on the Isle of Patmos. And you know that he hears the voice behind him saying I am Alpha and Omega.

And verse 12 says I turned to see the voice that speak with me and being turned I saw seven golden candlesticks. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one light on flew the Son of Man. And we took a long time on that evening to prove that the Son of Man was the Alpha and Omega the first and the last, the Almighty.

That's what it said in verse 8. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending. The last word is the Almighty. And you know if John looks at these candlesticks and the Lord in the midst, he notices this.

Verse 16. He had in his right hand seven stars. So he must have been thinking as we are about the candlesticks and the stars. And then God explains it in the last verse. Verse 20. The mystery of the seven stars which thou sourced in my right hand on the seven golden candlestick the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches.

And the seven candlesticks which thou sourced are the seven churches. So you have no trouble with this. The candlesticks are the local churches and the stars are the angels of the local churches. You see each time he writes to church, verse 2, unto the angel of the church of Ephesus writes.

Now you would know that our Lord is not directing John to write a letter to a shining angel. You would have more intelligence than that. Who would deliver it? How would you spell it out? In what language?

Note the word angel there is an old Greek word which means messenger. This is a word that you tight boys must chase. There are messengers placed by God in the churches. This is the messenger of the church.

And there are seven churches and there are seven messengers. You can talk about plurality whatever way you like but just work it out and face it because it is God's word. Now the angel here and in each of the seven churches is the messenger that God has placed in the local church.

Angel as Messenger in Malachi, Genesis, and Judges

Now we must always remember that this word angel its wonderful central sense has to do with messenger. And you see when you go way back to the last book of the Old Testament let's go back to Malachi. The last book of the Old Testament is Malachi and we are at the last chapter, we are at the third chapter of Malachi.

Malachi chapter three. And it is Jehovah who is speaking. He says behold I will send my messenger and he shall prepare the way before me. This is a reference to John the Baptist who was the forerunner of the Lord.

And of course the Rosalites ought to see that the Lord must be Jehovah. He says behold I will send my messenger and he shall prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to his temple and he did you know.

Even the angel of the covenant Ah, only to put the word messenger in this time. Is the Lord Jesus the angel of the covenant? Is he the messenger of the covenant? There is no problem there is there? None whatsoever unless you can't see properly.

If you go back to Genesis and hear Jacob talking We are at Genesis 48. Book of Genesis chapter 48. And old Jacob is blind you know and his days were nearly past and yet he is really in touch with God.

Because remember although he was a crooked character at the beginning he died worshipping God, leaning on his staff. And if you die worshipping God you'll be alright. Verse 15 we are at Genesis 48 verse 15.

And he blessed Joseph, Jacob did, and said God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk the God which fed me all my life long unto this day the angel which redeemed me and it is a capital A. Well it's the word used just in the sense that it's being used so much.

I don't think you have any problems with that. Let's have a look at another one just to make it so. We are at the book of Judges. And we are at chapter 13. Book of Judges chapter 13. And we are reading here about Samson's father and mother.

Verse 2. Judges 13 verse 2. And there was a certain man of Zorah of the family of the Danites. He was one of the Danites. Whose name was Manoah. And his wife was Baran in Bermont. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman and said Unto her, Behold now thou art Baran and barest not but thou shalt conceive and barest not.

Saves time down in verse 15. And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord I pray thee let us detain thee until we have made ready a kid for thee. And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah Though thou detain me I will not eat of thy bread and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering thou must offer it unto the Lord for Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the Lord.

And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord What is thy name? That when thy saints come to pass we may do thee honour. And the angel of the Lord said unto him Why askest thou thus after my name? Seeing it is secret.

Have you got the good marginal reference Bible there? Is there a number of secrets? Number two in my Bible do you see the reference? The word secret means wonderful. Why askest thou thus after my name?

Seeing it is wonderful. Do you know who bears that name? Just watch it carefully. So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering and offered it upon a rock unto the Lord and the angel did wondrously. And Manoah and his wife looked on for it came to pass when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar.

And Manoah and his wife looked on and fell on their faces to the ground. But the angel of the Lord did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the Lord and Manoah said unto his wife we shall surely die because we have sinned.

Quit now. Gone. The angel got up for Russell Rice. They wouldn't know. They can't read. Yes, his name is wonderful. No problems at all about it. Have a good look at what we're reading and maybe it would have been easier done back there.

The Mighty Angel’s Appearance as the Lord

Let's go back to Revelation chapter 10. Watch how carefully it's put. How divinely it's put I should say. John saves and dies for another mighty angel. You know he's not one of the seven angels. He's another one altogether.

And he's not one of the four. He's a different one altogether. And he's not only another. He's a mighty angel. Come down from heaven. Now get this bit. Clothed with a cloud. You can't find me an angel in this book clothed with a cloud.

You know when God was leaving Israel out of Egypt and into the promised land he always appeared in the pillar of the cloud. And when the tabernacle was erected and the holy place was finished you remember it was in the pillar of the cloud.

And when the cloud was there the whole nation knew that God was there. God clothed himself before this, you know, in a cloud. And I think you must get all the description properly here. This great mighty angel not only clothed with a cloud but had a rainbow upon his head.

Of course you people who know the Old Testament you will know that the rainbow is connected with the covenant, won't you? My dear friends, this one that's here is the one that moved in the pillar of the cloud.

And he's the one who made the covenant with Noah. You see, what I can see in that part of the description that this is beyond any doubt or question. This is Israel's Lord. That's what the emphasis, that's what the parenthesis is all about.

He's just stopping the whole scene because he wants you to see that Israel's Lord is coming on the floor. But there's a little bit more there, you know. The words were not just put in to fill up the space.

You'll notice that he was not only clothed with a cloud and a rainbow was upon his head. His feet was as it were the sun. And his feet as pillars of fire. Let's go back to chapter 1 of Revelation just where we were a moment ago.

I'm taking my time for the young folks. John's in Patmos. John had a revelation. He saw the Son of Man walking in the midst of the candlesticks. You know what it says in verse 15? His feet like unto fine brass as if they'd burned in a furnace.

You know what it says in verse 16? And his countenance was as the sun shineth in its strength. Because I think that what God is trying to say to us in this parenthesis is this. Here is Israel's Lord. Here is the Church's Lord.

And what's there, you know? Yes, with the cloud and with the rainbow, he is Israel's Lord. With these burning feet and this countenance like the sun. It's the one that walked in the midst of the churches.

Here is Israel's Lord. And, of course, Israel's Lord is our Lord. This is the mighty angel's appearance. Now, let's go on with the chapter. We're back in chapter 10. Verse 2. And he had in his hand a little book open.

Because that phrase the Lord would nearly have told us who it was, because he's the one that took the book out of the hand of God. And, of course, he has it open now. But don't rush it. Watch the performance here.

Christ’s Authority Over the Earth and Sea

He set his right foot upon the sea and his left foot on the earth. You know, this action is distinct and deliberate. He's just putting his right foot like that on the sea. Putting his left foot very directly on the earth.

You know, when Joshua walked into the promised land, God said on every place where you place the sole of your foot, I'll give it to you. It means the Lord is now coming out. And he's going to let everybody know what he owns.

These are his possessions, you know. The devil took them up to a high mountain once, you remember this, and showed them all the kingdoms of the world in the moment of time and on the glory of them. And watch the word kingdom and glory.

And he said all this power. And watch the kingdom and the power and the glory. Just watch. And he says all this will I give you. Not at all. I'll get another one. And you see, he went to the cross, and he finished this great atoning sacrifice, the one sacrifice for sins forever.

And he rose triumphant from the grave, and he had so satisfied God that God took him back. And when he went into heaven, the voice from the excellent glory said, Sit thou here until I lift thine enemies thy footstool.

And you know whether believers or not tonight, that all power in heaven and on earth belongs to Christ. And all the kingdoms and the power and the glory are his. There are men about me I know that respond to my law.

All this land, both sides of the border, and the sea around us, he owns it. One of these days he's taken the church home, and he's going to start to clear up this mess, because the boys that I see on the TV at times are not able to do it.

And he'll put his foot on the tree, and he'll put his foot on the lamb, he said this morning. This, this is this mighty, you would see that no mighty angel could do that. This is the Lord. You can see the beauty of our wonderful Lord in his appearance, and you can see the possessions of our wonderful Lord in this performance, can't you?

As if he just looked at the sea and the earth and said, Thou art mine, put your foot on. And I think it's very interesting to see yourself as the poor lost sinner in the horrible pit of sin where some of us was.

And you know the day that the Lord reached down into the pit, and I was way in the bottom, in the very bottom, in the bottom. And the day that he put his arms around me, he said, Thou art mine. I put his feet on the earth, and he put his arms around you.

And it's the day that he'll come back to take the church, of course, and then the tribulation and run its course. And then he'll come back right to earth, and he'll place his feet upon the Mount of Olives, and the Lamb will be his.

Thou art mine. And the Arabs won't take it off him either. Oh, nor the Egyptians' whistle, nor the Netherlands' end of the bargain. You know, you can see the mighty angel's performance here, can't you?

The Lion’s Roar and the Seven Thunders

But listen again. He blessed me, and he cried with a loud voice out when a lion roared. I like that bit, you know. You see, this is not a cry of distress or of fear. This is the lion roaring, because this is how he's going to deal with the nations, of the lion of the tribal Judah.

I don't know how the supposed to be expositors ever got it muddled up that this was a created being. I do not know. I would think that the very words, messenger, I would think that the clouds and the rainbow, I would think that the burning feet, I would think that the face like the sun, I would think that the very action, I would think that the roar of the lion would tell them all they want, but they could only read.

I don't think there's any problem there, though. Russell, I must be daft. I don't believe it. And I'll tell you this, you know, in this mighty operas, you know, it's not a cry of distress or of fear. It's a cry of power.

And let me tell you that it's attended with all the powers of the throne, and he cried with a loud voice when the lion roared, and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices, and when the seven thunders had uttered their voices.

My, what an attendance of power. You know, the Lord is really powerful. This is my wonderful Lord. Sometimes you should read the 29th Psalm seven times. I know that some of the expositors go over and say that these are the seven thunders, but I don't think so, but it doesn't matter.

Seven times it talks about the voice of the Lord in the waves as the storm roars. My, if you were ever in a storm at sea and really saw the waves. When I was travelling up at Iceland, you know, one evening, it was just about four o 'clock, but in one evening, there came a storm on, and I tried to measure these waves that would rise the way up before me, and I reckoned they were almost 80 feet high.

They just rolled away into the heavens, and there they were right away up there breaking up. And then in the next moment, you know, they're down on the old boat right up there. What a bit of a seesaw it is.

The friend wasn't a great thing, but you should see him, he's down on the boat, he was green. I'm a good old sailor, you know. I went down there and had some fun with him, he wasn't having any fun, of course.

He said, you look like somebody from Mars. You're green, you're not even like a human. He said, oh, don't bother, just don't bother, I'm going to die. And I laughed, you see, and made fun, and then went out of the way to see the waves.

He says, thank you, you're neither from Mars nor Earth, he says. I don't know where you're from. But when you see the storm at its height, and it breaking the cedars and bringing down the great big trees of the forest, and the sky opens and the lightning comes.

Hands on board. Let me tell you all the power of heaven will be behind me when he comes to this world to shout. Yes, this is the mighty angel's utterance. Verse 4,. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write.

Of course, John was commanded at the beginning of this book to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. This is something he wasn't to write.

We are not to know for a long time what was said. And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven. What a picture of our wonderful Lord. If it were right, wouldn't it be a great thing to paint?

One foot on the sea, one foot on the land, with her voice roaring, with all the powers of heaven attending, and his hand stretched up. Whenever you go to Stormont, you know where it is, don't you? The big house.

Brother said to me once, he says, if we never get back, what will we do with it? Make it a mental home, it was that old a place. But if you ever go there, bless you, you'll see Lord Carson there. Right at the very front of it.

I was there as a little fellow on my bare feet, you know. When Carson unveiled that. Oh, I ever got in through the crowd, but I could get in in those days, you know. But I was there. Old Lord Carson. Deadly statue stands with a big hand up, you know.

No surrender, you can hear it, can't you? Yes. Where dead will be when my Lord puts one foot on the sea, one foot on the land, and roars like a lion, and all heaven attend him, and his hand goes up, and he swears, by God Almighty, is this your Lord?

No, this is my Lord. What's this, feed now? No. And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven, and swear by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the word created is there, you know.

It was not evolved, it was created. And the things that are therein, they were created too. And the earth, and it was created. And the things that are therein. And the sea, and the things which are therein.

The Mystery of God and the Completion of His Plan

Why he swore by Jehovah himself that there should be no, that there should be time no longer. It doesn't mean that it's just the end of time. It just means that he's going to delay no more. Actually, one of the translations translates it, We're going to try no longer.

We're going to take it over. That's the idea. We're not going to wait any more. God has waited, you know. The long suffering of God has waited. There will come a moment when the Lord will put his feet on the land, and the faces will wait no longer.

We're clearing things up. And he's going to clear it up, too. Verse 7. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel. And you know the seventh angel doesn't sound so. Chapter 11 and verse 15. That's why I tell you this is a parenthetical bit.

And the two witnesses in chapter 11 next week are still in the parenthetical bits. And not until we come to verse 15 and chapter 11 is the seventh angel sounded. Now, back at verse 7 of chapter 10. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God shall be finished.

In all that God has willed for this old earth and its kingdoms, it'll be all open now. The mystery. Oh, what a word for the Lord to use. Thank you. Sometime, when you have time, I'll not take you through the book.

But if you look at 2 Samuel, chapter 24, 34 it is. If you look at it sometime, you'll find it's 24, it is. When you look at it, you'll find this. That David sinned in numbering the people. And because of that, God brought a plague on the land of Israel from Dan to Beersheba.

And thousands were slain. And then there came a moment that God shouted, It is enough! You see, in all words, you know, it is enough, it's finished. And the sword was put up, you know. And the day that God shouted, it is enough, the angel was slaying people on Mount Moriah.

The very place where Abraham laid Isaac on the altar. And the very place where Christ was laid on the cross, you know. Because where they put Isaac and where they sheathed the sword is where the cross was erected.

You see, if you see them all together, you can get this. It is enough. Judgment on that occasion, and in that sense, was finished. When Christ said, it is finished, it wasn't judgment, it was atonement.

The atonement was finished. One sacrifice for sins forever. When he stands here and cries, finished, it will be finished. It's not a judgment, it's not atonement, it's adjustment. He's going to adjust this whole planet of ours.

He's going to bring back the lost inheritance of the sons of Adam. And make it the home of the redeemed for all eternity. Oh yes, there's going to be saints on this planet for all eternity. Oh, I'll not be here, I'm living in the New Jerusalem, but we'll try to do that when we come to it.

And you know, the New Jerusalem, this great planet that's going to be in space, bigger than this earth, where the saints will sing together, the heavenly people of God. Because the day that God brought Abraham out and said, do you see the stars in the sky?

Yes, he said, do you see the sons of the saints? He said, I'll miss you people like that. Because God is going to have the heavenly people and the earthly people for all eternity. He's got to clear up the mess down here.

And that will be the adjustment, the mystery of God. The plans that God has for this earth will be fully uncovered when this seventh angel sounds. You see, that's the assurance of the angel. You know, when you look at this angel and you look at his appearance, and then you look at his performance and you listen to his utterance, and you see this assurance, he knows the very moment when the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of God and his Christ.

The Little Book: Sweetness and Bitterness of Revelation

And then I want you to notice this. Verse 8, And the voice which I heard from heaven speak unto me again, speak unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

And I went unto the angel and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it and eat it up, and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. You know, this great mighty Lord of ours complied with this demand.

And this book that he had opened, this book that contained the will of God for this planet, and he who opened it must have been the executor of the will, you know, he immediately gave it to John. Take it and eat it.

And in these nights in the Bible class here, you know, we have been chewing on this book. And there are portions of this book, when you really take it and chew it, such as last week's when we saw these demons let loose, almost sickens you, doesn't it?

Lots of people came to me after last week and said, you know, it's almost worse than hell. Terrible to think that you will leave in your wee lass behind you, and that demons would take her over, and what demons can do to a human body that they possess.

Almost scares you. That bit is bitter. And yet when you see God clearing up the mess that's on this planet at this moment, and probably also in a bigger mess than anywhere else, sometimes when you see the Lord taking it over and cleaning it up and readjusting it and making it a fit place for eternity, you know, it's as sweet as honey.

It's very wonderful, you know. That's just how the book works. Just exactly like that. Sometimes it's bitter. Sometimes it's sweet. And you see not only the mighty angel's appearance and the mighty angel's performance and the mighty angel's utterance and the mighty angel's assurance and the mighty angel's compliance with John's request, and then you see the mighty angel's guidance.

John’s Commission to Prophesy Again

See verse 11, and we're at the end of the chapter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again. Now that was very wonderful. Because as John put these words down on this book on the Isle of Bathmas, now when you can see the old apostle grey-headed and alone, and old friends now, Peter is not there, because Peter and John were always together.

He's alone and he's writing this. But how many times he has prophesied since! Aye, to every part of the world. I'm sure if John could have seen exactly what his revelation was meant to this earth, he would have been rejoicing.

Now excuse me, it's a thrill to see this meeting with this crowd, but I want to say this to you. You see, we've got scores of tape recorders in there, and all around us and everywhere, and I'm no Jackson, bless God for them all, but the tapes from this place go to every part of the world.

There are people who have big meetings in England, and they're running them on these tapes. Right through Scotland, right into the Highlands, down into the Welsh villages. Way down in Cornwall, they're just waiting on it.

Goes right across to Canada, goes up into the States, goes down into Rhodesia, goes over to Trinidad, goes down to the Ur of the Cowbeys. They thrilled me. You know, somebody said to me, just when we were starting these, are you going to do Revelation again?

Yeah, sure we are! Thou must prophesy again! And again, and again! Those kids growing up, you know, who need to know the truth, if you know this, OK? Because we've got to feed the lambs too. Look at this class tonight, spite of the bombers, spite of the barricades.

There's just one thing that thrills me, to see you with your Bible. I know that I'm no attraction. Look at my face. Look at this. No, the attraction here is the Word of God. And that must thrill God. Spite of everything that's dark, and dangerous, and diabolical, here's the class tonight.
