<TITLE>28. Par -</TITLE>L-99-243 Look, friends, on this, how beautiful... Look, want you to watch now closely, this person who asked this question. The hundred and forty-four thousand, now, that is the servants; they'll serve. If you noticed, positionally, in the old Scripture...
Always look at the shadow if you want to see what the positive is. That's right. Look back yonder, see what it is. Now, that's vice versa since the Cross, and look what the positive is if you want to see what the shadow is. Back there, it was leaning up to the Cross; we had to look back there to see the shadow, to see what the Cross would be; now you have to look from the Cross, to look back and see what the shadow is. See? Look what Christ was in the days when He was here on earth; what He was then He is now. This is His shadow. See what I mean? You know, in the beginning when I explained it, that's what it is. Now, if I'm looking from back there, I have to look what the shadow was to find out what this will be, what the cross was.

L-99-245 Now, one day there was sin in Israel, and there was a man by the tribe of the name of Levi. They pulled their swords, and they went with Moses to the camp, and they destroyed everything that was sin. Is that right? God looked down and said, "Because you did this and stood for Me, your--all these others will serve you. You go right into the temple as priests." Is that right? "You stay right in the temple, and the rest of them will work and will bring in a tenth and take care of you." Is that right?
Oh, hallelujah. If you can see what that temple was, that the Levites was the Bride. Now, when sin is a-wakening on every hand, the Levites is pulling their swords. The Holy Ghost born Bride is standing out, saying, "Jesus Christ in the positive is Jesus Christ in the negative, just the same. Sin is still sin; it's wrong to do these things." That's right; they're standing there with a Sword.
God says, "Come ye now, the blessed of My Father." That is the Bride.

L-99-248 There's the servants, and look where the servants was camped. Twelve on this side... I mean, four on this side, four on that side, four on that side, and four on that side: twelve tribes. The twelve tribes are the hundred and forty-four thousand. Look in the Book of Revelation; he saw the city with its twelve foundations. Upon each gate was a name of an apostle, and twelve gates. And around it was the twelve tribes (Hallelujah.), setting around.
And in there was the Redeemed (Hallelujah.): black, white, yellow, brown, and all that's Blood-washed will be His servants, He said they'll be with Him. They'll... The sun will not fall on them any more; they'll not hunger nor thirst any more; and through a great ceaseless age will they live and reign with Christ forever: Him, the King, and them, the Queen, rule and reign forever.

L-100-250 The Lord bless you. Amen. I'll keep these; God willing, I'll be right back with them again (See?), maybe tonight, and answer them tonight or whenever Brother... We'll get together and talk it. The Lord bless you. You love Him with all your heart?
Oh, I want to see Him, want to look upon His face,
There to live forever by His saving grace;
On the streets of Glory let me lift my voice;
When cares all pass, home at last, ever to rejoice. (Oh, my.)
As I travel through this land, singing as I go,
A pointing souls to Calvary, to the crimson flow, (not--not to the church; to Calvary)
That's where we're pointing: not to some theology, but to the crimson flow, to Jesus Christ. "The life is in the blood," and He is the Blood of God which is our Life that lives in us now. "Blest be the tie that binds."
