<TITLE>15. Par 41-44</TITLE>L-41 Now, God, when He loved Adam and Eve so much, that He had to first shed blood before He could... The judgment was death, and He had to--something had to die in their stead. And then they could stand then in His Presence. Now, in there was judgment. Eve first listened to Satan and he whitewashed the Word over. And they disbelieved the Word, and the Word then became God's judgment.
Now, this Word, the Word of God, will judge every person. This Word that's being preached here this morning. It's being preached down there at Wall Street; preached over there at the Christian Church; down at the Presbyterian church. Wherever the Word is being preached, it becomes the judgment. Men are judged by the Word of God. And here's one good thing to know, that we--either our judgment goes before us, or it will follow after us.

L-42 Now, every man here today doesn't have to be judged at the end; he can be judged this morning, if he wants to be judged. Now, there has to be a preparation made for judgment. Now, if God, in order to bring Adam and Eve into His Presence, He had to make a preparation. Now, what did that? If you don't believe in grace...
Grace, provided a preparation. Oh, how happy I am for that. Grace provided a preparation. Grace is love. God so loved His fallen creatures that He provided a preparation to stand them in His Presence before judgment. God went and killed sheep or animals; put skins on them to cover them up; and blood was first made before the judgment. It... The judgment was through the blood, of course. And then He shed the blood of the--of the innocent to cover up the guilt of the guilty.

L-43 Now, in the 19th Chapter, I believe it is here, of--of--of the Book of Exodus, God the Lord makes...
And the LORD spake unto Moses and... Aaron, saying,
This is an ordinance of law which the LORD hath commanded thee... Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me a red heifer without spot, wherein... no blemish, and upon which never came a yoke:
And ye shall give her to Eliezer the priest, and... he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
And Eliezer the priest shall take... her blood with his finger, and shall sprinkle of the... blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
Oh, if you notice, red heifer. Notice, being the female, typing the church... Red, the color, had--couldn't be spotted now; it had to be a solid color. And red always gives a--a--a signifies redemption. You say, "Red always signifies danger." It does to us in a red light, but it's always redemption too; don't run it. So red is always been the sign through the Bible. The harlot Rahab let the spies down through a scarlet cloth or scarlet cord, which was a sign that God left her house standing.

L-44 Now, notice, red here, this red heifer was to be brought and was to be killed in the presence of Eleazar. And he was to take her, hoofs and all, and burn her. And before she--while she was dying, he took and dipped his fingers in her blood and sprinkled it to the tabernacle and dipped his fingers in the blood and sprinkled it towards the tabernacle and did this seven times, signifying the seven dispensations, or the seven church ages that the church would be sprinkled by the blood, that the judgment was placed upon the heifer. Seven times the blood was sprinkled: the blood sacrifice, making an atonement, standing in the stead of judgment seven times. Then the heifer was put into a fire and was burned up to a, ashes.
Then anytime that Israel... It made a, what they call the "waters of separation," and there was burned scarlet--scarlet, hyssop, and was put together and burnt which meant the dispensations of grace: justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Spirit, through cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, and was all burnt together. And this made, if you'll read on, if you would like to read it. 'Cause of time I won't take time to read it.
