<TITLE>10. Par 109-119</TITLE>L-109 The serpent spake of Divine judgment, to appease God. His judgments are Divine. And then, the pole represented the cross. And the serpent represented Jesus, the lovely Lord Jesus; He came down and was made sin. God Himself revealed Hisself in a body, made like unto sinful flesh, to take away sickness and sin from the world. How beautiful. In there He made a way. Jesus said, "As Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up."
Now, what was the brass serpent lifted up for? For a compound reason. They had sinned and were sick. Now, then Jesus was lifted up, wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we are healed: compound reason. And it's still just as real tonight for Christ to heal the sick, as it is to save the sinners.
More of a miracle for Him to save a sinner; He has to change his way. And surely, after he's already changed, he would know how to believe God for his healing. See what I mean?

L-112 Another beautiful type, quickly, I just happened to think. In the Book of Ruth... Many of you run over the top of that Book; don't think, not thinking what it is. That's one of the most greatest stories in there of a type of Christ, in all the Old Testament.
In the 1st chapter of--of the Book of Ruth, Naomi... The word "Naomi," means "pleasant." She, her husband, and her two sons, left Palestine, type of the church. And they left Palestine, went over in the land of Moab. And there they homesteaded out of the homeland. That's the--a symbol of backsliding, like Israel did. Any Jew that left Palestine was out of the will of the Lord. God gave Palestine to the Jews, and said, "Remain there." And Ruth went out, or, not Ruth, but Naomi.

L-114 And her two sons got married. And all the men died: her husband and the two sons. She started back to her home. Her daughter-in-laws went part of the way with her. One of them lifted up her eyes and looked back into her homeland; she went back. But Ruth the Moabite, she wouldn't go. She loved her mother-in-law.
She said, "Go back to your own people. I'm old. And if I'd have more children, why..." You know the laws, that how it had to be in them days, you Bible scholars. Said, "If I would have a child, it would be... You'd would be too old for it when it growed up. So go back, and can remarry." Oh, I love this.

L-116 Naomi now, the type of the Jewish church, Ruth, the type of the Gentile Church... Notice. And now, here she comes back. See?
Ruth, being a Gentile, heathen worshipper, she looked back and she said, "I'll go with you. Where you live, I'll live. Where you die, I'll die. Where you are buried, I'll be buried. Let your God be my God." That's the Gentile Church accepting salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. Notice, what a beautiful picture. And now wish we had time.

L-118 The 2nd chapter in Ruth, reveals her time to return, when she come back just in harvest time, barley season. And when she seen, looked over the homeland, she wept, "I just longing to get into Palestine." See, they was weeping as they seen the homeland.

L-119 Those Jews by the thousands, pouring into Palestine. That's the calendar of the day, brother.
I tell you. We're living at the end of the road. I wouldn't be a bit surprised that there's many people setting here in old age, will see the time when there won't be one stone left upon another in Louisville, Kentucky. That may be in another year. I don't know; don't say I said a year. I don't know; no one does. But we're at the end of the road. I know that. Those hydrogen bombs and things are ready to explode any time.
The Jews are going back to Jerusalem. And the six-point star of David, the oldest flag in the world, flies over Jerusalem, the first time for two thousand years: Sign time.
