<TITLE>09. Par 32-35</TITLE>L-32 Now notice, closely. They--they were expecting, these people were, to see God. They had an expectation in their heart to see those things happen, and God granted it to them. Now, you've got to desire it. David said in the Scripture, "When the deep calls to the deep... The noise of thy waterspout." Now, before there can be any--any deep to call in here, there has to be a deep out there first to make this deep in here call for it. See? The deep calling to the deep...

L-33 I love scenery. My, here some time ago I was hunting up in the mountains, not so much for the game, I was just up to get away. I just love the mountains. My mother's a half Indian, and it's just enough about it I love the wilds and I can't get out of it. And so, I can see a sunset and cry like a baby.
I remember up there one day standing on the mountain, the elk herds was high that year, hadn't had no snow, and I was moving around up high near the timber line. And in the fall of the year, in October, there come storms. It'll maybe snow awhile, then it'll rain awhile, then the sun will come out.

L-34 I remember up there one fall, not long ago, I was tramping around, and there come up a storm. And I got in behind a tree and stood like this awhile, set my rifle down. The storm went over... There was an old blowdown there, anyhow. And after while, after the storm ceased, I listened. Standing there, I thought, "Well, which way shall I start from here now."
Started... I backed down. I was about sixty or seventy miles, as far as I know, from a living human being, back with two or three pack horses and camped out. So I was setting there, standing there, rather, looking around and wondering which way to go from there, seeing no tracks or nothing. So I thought, "What will I do?"
And about that time, way back over on another ridge the storm had got the elks scattered. And I heard the big males a bugling (Oh, my.), hear it echoing across the valley. Then the deep begin to call to the deep. Way back up here an old gray wolf got to howling, and his mate answering in the bottom. Mmmm. My, the deep was calling to the deep. I thought, "O God, surely You're the God of mountains too, way up here." If you got God in here, you can see God anywhere you look. That's right. It'll--it'll move out.

L-35 Then I stood there a little while, and where the sun peaked out through the crevices of the rocks, as it was setting in the west, shining like the eye of God, looking, running to and fro through the earth, I noticed it shined against those trees. And where it took cold up that high, the ice had froze on the evergreens, making an icicle. And when it did, there come a rainbow across the valley. Now, this wolf hollering up here, and its mate in the bottom answering. My, and the elk herd, and the rainbow...
I had my gun down against the tree. I run out there, and I raised up my hands, and I said, "O great Jehovah God, Who looks down from the heaven, the God... gave you this rain, and gave us this rainbow sign." I said, "I can see another rainbow sign in Revelations 2, where Jesus setting to look upon like jasper and sardine stone: Reuben and Benjamin, the first, the last, with a rainbow crossing the seven church ages, the colors; oh, the same yesterday, today and forever; Alpha, Omega; the beginning and the ending; He that was, which is and shall come; the Root and Offspring of David; the Morning Star." Setting behind me, seven colors, God's covenant with the Church, that He wrote with Jesus Christ, His Son, of a perfect redemption...
