<TITLE>03. Par 13-18</TITLE>L-13 But He said, "I will be with you always, even to the end of the world. And the things that I do, shall you also. For I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world."
Now, Jesus speaking and giving them an--a--a--a parable, or I would say of prophecy in one way and another way, it was an example.
He said, "As Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the wilderness."
We go back to the children of Israel for a few moments to base our thoughts. And we'll hurry and see what the Holy Spirit will have us to look into. These things are not premeditated. I just come here and read a Scripture. That's wherever it goes to, that's where it goes.

L-14 And I'm thinking now of--of Israel being four hundred years in bondage. They had been there for four hundred years and noticed this. In this four hundred years of bondage, there's not one word written of God doing anything for them for four hundred years. Why?
The last prophet they had was Joseph. Joseph was a man that was borned in the world by God to do certain things and to fulfill the will of God.
Gifts and callings are without repentance. You just simply can't push something into somebody that it isn't there to push. Man can't do nothing.

L-15 God in His election has elected, before the foundation of the world, certain things to happen. That's the reason He can know from the beginning what will be in the ending. For He's already set it in order and it'll have to come to that place.
Now Joseph, when he was born, was a spiritual man, a prophet, a seer, a dreamer, an interpreter of dreams, spiritual. He was hated by his brethren, loved of his father, a perfect type of Christ. They hated him without a cause, because he was spiritual. And a very...

L-16 All Scripture has a compound meaning, or it runs in cycles. For instance, there where it said in Saint Matthew, I believe it was. "Out of Egypt I have called my son." Now, that Scripture that Matthew was referring to was really pertaining to Israel. And God said, "Out of Egypt, I call My son, Israel." He'd called Israel His son out, but it also meant Jesus. "Out of Egypt I've called My Son." See how it routines back?
The cycle of time swings back ever so often. History repeats itself, and Scripture repeats itself down through the age. Any scholar knows that, that's ever studied it from a spiritual standpoint to watch how Scripture will repeat itself, run in cycles like that. It certainly does.

L-17 Now, Joseph's brethren hating him without a cause, because he was spiritual, is a type of the church, so-called, today. All different denominations, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Holiness, and all together, despising, the formal lukewarm members of these churches... Not all of them are; many of them are borned again Christians out of every one of them. But the ones who are just a normal, nominal Christians, just professed Christians that's never been a vindicated by God by spiritual revelation... That's the only way that you'll ever know what the real meaning of power, and healing, and salvation really means; it is a spiritual revelation of the will and Word of God. You'll never learn it anywhere else, only by revelation.

L-18 Watch this just a moment, if I can leave this text. Back in Genesis, when Abel and Cain both come bringing sacrifice, both of those men were believers. Abel and Cain both were believers. They were not infidels. Cain was not an infidel, not a communist. He was a believer.
Well now, if believing on the Lord is all God require, He was unjust to condemn Cain when he had just the same faith that Abel did, faith to worship, faith to sacrifice, faith to believe.
So the people said, "All you have to do is believe." That's all you have to do, but then God has to do something.
