<TITLE>08. Par 67-73</TITLE>L-67 When God the Father, in a form of a big Cloud, hung over the children of Israel, and when He settled on the mountain that morning to write the law, why, even if an animal touched the mountain, he must be thrust through with a dart. Only through sanctification did He bring Moses up. Set Aaron way down at the bottom of the hill to watch and to keep guard that nothing... And when that Pillar of Fire settled on that mountain, the lightning bursted forth, and the thunders roared, the blackness settled. When Jehovah God, the Creator of all eternity settled on top of a mountain that He created Himself, the thickness of the clouds a bursting forth of the lightning, the shaking of the earth, till, them Israelites standing out yonder in camp, with a bleeding sacrifice around them, said, "Let Moses speak, and not God, 'less we die."... Think of that.
That same Almighty, great Being, humbled Himself and unfolded Himself, and come into a body of flesh that any man could touch with his hands. What's He doing? Claiming His road, trying to get into man. Then after He went and offered His own Blood, when no other blood would do... No wonder He was the priceless price of heaven. No wonder He was the King of all kings. When He fol--unfolded Himself, and come down and submitted Himself in the hands of sinful men to be beat, and spit on, and bruised, and hung on the cross and die... When He was standing there, someone said... "Well," He said, "I could call My Father, and He'd send Me ten legions of Angels. But My Kingdom's not of this world."
And there them crowds said, "Away with Him. Away with Him."
Why didn't He turn around and say, "Away with you"? Here's the reason He couldn't, friends. Look at it. Them was His Own children. To think of a man's children crying for their daddy's blood... If my children was rallying for my blood, there'd be nothing else I could say, "Take me." If--if He refused to do it, He lost His child, His very creation, His human beings. And they was the one that was calling for His Blood. Could you imagine the children calling for their Father's Blood? That's the reason He couldn't say no. If He said no, they were lost. I'd die freely for my children, and any other father would. Look what He was, His Own children crying for His Blood.

L-71 And the justice of law required Blood. And the blood of sheep wouldn't do it; the blood of goats wouldn't do it; the blood of cattle wouldn't do it; but the Blood of God Himself had to do it. And God was made flesh, lived here on earth. That great thundering Person on top of Mount Sinai was here in flesh then.
Then He cleansed the way that He could come and live in your heart. And now that same Spirit, that thundered from Mount Sinai, is living in the human heart. What a marvelous... My, that, that ought to set every heart jumping, and to--to think of it.

L-73 Now, passing on quickly, Paul was going ahead, down to the 5th and 6th verse here. We're trying to get to the 19th, so we can hurry. The ni... The 5th and 6th, and on down, he was speaking of how the laws foreshadows. How that in the Old Testament... We went through it the other day, oh, a few months ago it was, in Sunday school.
The man done a sin; say he committed adultery, or he stole, or broke the Sabbath, or some other commandment. Then he had to get a lamb, and he had to bring this lamb into the elders, and they had to look this lamb over. The lamb had to be blameless, had to be without a flaw on it. Look at the significance here. The lamb had to be blameless for a blamed person. Amen. I hope you see it. My.
