<TITLE>04. Par 14-18</TITLE>L-14 And Father, we pray that You'll help us now and give us of Your blessing. And may this audience now, without any Divine, or any other sign at all, may they just receive the Word. You sent Your Word and healed them. And may the Word of God find a place in every heart tonight. And may they be healed, every one, both spiritually and physically, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
This glorious Book here, God is setting Moses now in position, to tell him now what He's going to do for him in the journey: Setting him here and telling him what He will do, and then finally tells him the blessings He will have him in the promised land.

L-15 Now, all those types of old were... they were just shadows of things that was to come. Now, I believe that was the Church natural. The Jewish church that was brought out of Egypt to Palestine, was the natural church, God's natural people, who had a natural law. See? But we today, are God's spiritual Church, with a spiritual law written on the tables of our hearts, led in a spiritual form.
Now, they looked up to see where the Pillar of Fire was, the Angel of the Lord. But we don't look today. There's just something happens, that we know He's there. See?
Now, and all that they was... Now, they were the people of God. Israel down in Egypt, were the people of God until they come out of Egypt and started towards the promised land; then they became the Church of God. The word "church" means "called out." I love that: "separated ones." God said, "Separate Me Paul and Barnabas to the work that I have called them."
Now, this... The churches today, many of them, are looking for mixers. Somebody who can mix and maybe do a little of this and that, and little recreation, and golfing, and maybe a few parties and so forth.

L-16 Now, the world is looking for good mixers, but God's looking for separators, for those who will separate themselves. "Come out from among them, My people, that ye be not partakers of their sins." Separate...
In Egypt, when the lamb was offered, God made a difference. He separated the--the Israelites from the--from the Gentiles, and made a difference in them. And God's people is a separated people, a holy nation, a peculiar people, odd, strange-acting.
So the world will never understand you. So just don't think about the world; think about God. That's the main thing.

L-17 Now, how beautiful the type of Israel going down there... I just love the old nuggets back there, to get the Old Testament and bring them out, and rub them over and look at it. Everything in the Old Testament typed the New.
Now, as Israel made her journey, going to the promised land, it had three stages of the journey: a coming out of Egypt, Kadesh-barnea, the judgment, crossing into the promised land.
And that's just exactly the three churches. After the dark age, the three churches...?... Then the next come the Philadelphian Church. Then the next come the Laodicean Church. Then She crosses over. Beautiful.
How that God in the old days, when that Pillar of Fire was hanging over the camp of Israel, they watched that.

L-18 And when the... if It was... hung there a day, they stayed a day, if It stayed a week, or a month, or a year... But just as that Pillar of Fire begin to move, there was a thousand trumpets blasted. And no matter, if it was twelve o'clock at night or two o'clock in the afternoon, every Israelite broke camp, wound up his tent, put it on his back, and away they went; wherever the Fire went, they went.
Wouldn't that be a good thing if we did that today? Follow the blessing.
Well, here it is. That is exactly the same thing that's taking place today. God, after the dark ages, and the great fifteen hundred years of pagan persecution to the Church, there was a man named Martin Luther; he saw that the just shall live by faith. He saw the Pillar of Fire; he sounded the trumpet, and away went the Church following.
