<TITLE>15. Par 61-65</TITLE>L-61 Look, they wasn't even an organization like they was. They went interdenominational. They dwelt in tents. They didn't have any land to call their own. Hallelujah. They were evangelical.
Run out here, Moab sent over to an old back backslidden prophet over there, said, "Come over and curse Israel." Could you imagine? Both of them believing in the same God, one wanting to curse the other one. He's jealous of him. That's... Them men died, but that spirit still lives. God takes His man but never His Spirit.
He took Elijah and put a double portion of His Spirit upon Elijah. It come out on John the Baptist, hundreds of years later and predicted to come again in the last days. Is that right? Same Spirit. See? All right. He'd taken His Son, but His Spirit remained, the Holy Ghost which is with us, the same as It ever was. Notice, and the devil takes his man, but never his spirit.

L-62 Remember who condemned Jesus? The scholars and big churches and renowned people, the educated people who knowed theology to the very utmost. But they didn't know Jesus. That's it. Yes, sir.
I want to know Him in the power of His resurrection. I don't know too much about the Word, but I know the Author real well. And that's the main part. That's right. I know the Author. All right.
Notice, them Moabites, they stood up there and called this prophet down there to curse Israel. Now, I want you to notice. Now, you fundamental people, put on your coats. Listen, I mean your shock coats.

L-63 Notice, here comes Moab. Here come Israel with God's commandment to journey to the promised land, going exactly the way God promised them, a very beautiful type of the Holy Ghost Church today journeying on with the same baptism, eating the same manna, moving right on to the promised land.
And here was a bunch of fundamental believers, walked out to say, "No, sir. You're not a starting that fanaticism in my country." See them two... See them vines? There's Cain and Abel again. Notice, one versing the other one.
Now, you say, "Was the Moabites fundamental?" Watch what Balak done, or Balaam, Balak. He called all of the princes, all of the D.D.'s out of the country. And he brought them down there and they built seven altars, the same kind of altars that Israel had built down there. Seven is God's perfect number.

L-64 And he offered seven bullocks, the same thing they offered down there, speaking clean sacrifice. Notice, here it is, Christians. And he offered seven rams, speaking of the coming of Jesus. I'm going to let that soak for a minute.
Fundamentally, he was just as fundamental as Israel was. Both of them had seven altars. Both of them had seven sacrifices of bullocks, seven rams, worshipping the same God.
If that ain't a picture of today, I don't know it. Don't never tie into a fundamental man. He knows what he's talking about. But that's all he knows. He doesn't know Jesus with it. Notice, if he did, he would accept the truth.

L-65 Watch, here he is. And here's the man up here. Now, if fundamentalism is what God requires, He would have accepted it in Cain. If fundamentalism is what God requires, He would accepted it at the hand of Balaam, 'cause they was offering the same sacrifice that Israel was offering down at the bottom of the hill.
Going to talk... "Why, sure I believe in Jesus Christ being the Son of God."
"Certainly."
"Do you believe that He died, buried, rose on the third day?"
"Absolutely."
" Do you believe He sets at the right hand of God making in..."
"I certainly do."
"Do you believe He will return again?"
"I'm preaching every day that He will return." Fundamental, see?
