<TITLE>17. Par 70-74</TITLE>L-70 Now, might as well get this clear and get it right. And notice. Then the first thing you know how God vindicated His servant, Jacob. How He brought him out, and proved by signs and wonders that that was His. Now, always God has a vindicated His believers. Well, bear that in mind. God has a vindicated His believers. Not how fundamental you are, we are not judged by fundamentalism, although I believe fundamentalism is right. But we're not judged by fund--being how fundamental we are, how orthodox we are to our belief. We're judged by God's election and a vindication.

L-71 Notice. Here's a beautiful picture. Here comes Israel coming up out of Egypt. Israel, and they come to the land of Moab, and when they got to Moab, well, here come... They had a prophet, a preacher up there. And he was a great man doing great things. So Balak said, "Come down now. I've got a lot of money here I'll--I'll give you if you'll come down and curse this fanatic coming up, this holy-roller, coming up out of Egypt down there, going to cross through my land. Come, put a curse on him." Well, that...?... religious man. Why, sure. Balaam went down. You know what happened? The old mule turned around, spoke in tongues to him, tried to get him to straighten out, and he wouldn't do it. He went on down anyhow. And when he got down there to the place, why, I want you to notice now how fundamental. Now, those Moabites were not infidels. They were believers. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-72 ... Cain on the left. Abel on the right. Watch them growing up through the Bible. Cain on the left. Abel on the right. Now, watch. Here comes the prophet down. He said, "The first thing we got to do. We got to be fundamental about this, 'cause God requires it. Build me seven altars." That's exactly what God said do. Fundamentally he was right.
Say, "I want you to put seven bullocks on there." That's fundamentally right, what the Bible said. "And not only that but I want you to put seven rams on there, 'cause Jesus Christ is coming someday, the Messiah. We got to make a sacrifice for that," speaking of the coming of Christ. That's just as fundamentally as the Bible could read it. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-73 ... fundamental teachers, and there stood Israel right down there just having the same amount of sacrifices, the same promised sacrifices. Both of them was perfectly, fundamentally right. Now, if the Word only is what God requires, one was just as right as the other. Is that right? God required seven altars. God required seven bullocks. God required seven rams, oh, it's perfect. Seven is the perfect, the day of worship, seven days and so forth. And seven thousand years and then the Millennium, of six thousand, seven in the Millennium. And so everything in the Bible types, and you know, in threes, sevens, twelves, twenty-fours, and forties, and fifties.

L-74 All right. And in this seven worship, God was just as perfectly satisfied as fundamental, as these fundamentals was teaching just the same as He was with Israel. But here, watch, a group of believers standing up here now jealous of these his brother, Israel, and here was... What was he jealous about? Why, both of them scripturally was doing exactly the same thing: teaching the exact same doctrine. Amen.
Now, I do feel religious. Notice. Brother, I want you to notice it. I'm a bringing these trees. I'm going to bring it to Palm Beach, Florida, by God's help in a few minutes. All right. Here we are. We'll bring it right straight to Palm Beach, Florida, and prove from Genesis right down in here, and going out in Revelation. It's the truth. Here they are standing there. All right.
