<TITLE>05. Par 40-45</TITLE>L-40 And now, the Book of Hebrews is a Book that we believe that Paul wrote. No--no record to show that he did write it. But we believe that Paul wrote the Book of Hebrews, because it was the--sounds like Paul's writing. And most of the theologians believe that it was Paul's writing also. But whoever it was, what writer wrote it, it's certainly a masterpiece, and is inspired, and joins in with the rest of the Bible.
And it's bringing all the shadows. And being myself, uneducated, illiterate, I have to kindly take, and make myself a typologist in order to know that I have got the truth of the Word, for I always look back in the Old Testament.

L-42 Now, there's some of the folks setting here, three or four of them, that's been here since the church has, I suppose, twenty something years, when I was first ordained. And then, as all along, I've always tried to make a--watch the types.
In other words, if I never did see the sun, and I seen what the moon did, throwed light on the earth, and so forth like that, and shined down from the heaven, I'd have some conception of what the sun would be when it did go to shining, because it would... I've looked at the moon; it's a reflection of the sun.
Well, all the old things of the Old Testament, under the law, was just a type, or a reflection of what it is in the Gospel. So if you know the Old Testament, you can have a pretty good idea what the New Testament is, 'cause... And now, Paul's giving the same thing here in the Book of Hebrews. He's showing what the Old Testament was in type, the New Testament is in antitype. Everybody believes that, don't you?

L-45 That's how I believe in Divine healing so strongly, because that in the Old Testament Divine healing was then. And if the... We have something much better. If the Old Testament produced Divine healing under that little thing, and only thing the New Testament is is something way more, and far better, what has the New Testament got in Divine healing? Oh, it's got much more. See? For the New Testament is better things, says Paul here in the Hebrews. The Old Testament produced... Oh, it was all right.
Like if I'm walking out here, going out to do something here at nighttime, to read, or--or to have services out, and well, it's a--or go wherever I may, travel, and it's a moonlit night. That's mighty nice. I appreciate that. But if the moon can produce that, what will the sun do? And it's strong. It--it just puts the moon out; that's all. See, there just--there's no more of it.
And if you notice, when the sun comes up, the reason the moon don't shine, is because the moon and the sun blends together. The moon and the sun is one. Did you know that? The moon is nothing but a--a missile hanging in the air. And the sun's a shining on it, reflecting its light to the earth. The sun is shining through the moon, to the moon, to reflect. See, when the sun's gone around here, it throws its light over here on the moon, and the moon reflects it back to the earth. In other words, the sun and the moon is husband and wife, or either the sun and the moon is Jesus and the Church. While Jesus is gone away, He reflects through the Church His Light. See? So if the moon give Light, what would the sun do?
And if the law gave light, if the law gave healing, what will the Gospel do? See? Oh, it'd be powerful, wouldn't it? Certainly, it would. When did they... See, if... Look, Jesus...
