<TITLE>08. Par 37-41</TITLE>L-37 May I speak to you just a moment? God before the world began... Notice, "No one," said Jesus, "can come to Me except My Father draws him." That's Jesus own Word. Here's the Blood cell; here it is broken; here's the spray of Blood a moving. Now, here's Christ inside this Blood cell. "Christ" means "the Anointed." It was the Anointed Blood cell. Here It is in here. Here's God our Father; look at what He's doing. "No man can come through this Blood spray to Me, except My Father draws him. And all that comes, I'll give him Everlasting Life, no wise turn him out and will raise him up at the last day." You see what it is?

L-38 Now, look. He has chosen us for this purpose, having predestinated or foreknowledge, he fore-understood what it would be from the beginning. God in the beginning, knowing just what He would do at the end, He predestinated, or could foretell, what it would be: foreknowledge, foreknowing to be in Christ Jesus.
Notice.
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children...
The adoption, now we'll take the old laws just a moment again, then we'll have to close.

L-39 In the Old Testament when a man... Are you enjoying the reading of the Word? I just love It, just bear a few more minutes longer.
In the Old Testament when a man had his little kingdom, now he was the father of this kingdom, a little possession...
In Saint John, it's even carried down in the Anglo-Saxon people in Britain years ago for even to the King James translation, or version. You find Saint--Saint John 14 said, "In My Fathers house is many mansions." That sounds strange: in a house being a mansions. But what it is, in the time of the--of the King James version, as a translation, every man that had a kingdom, a king, he had this domain was his. And he was called the father, and this was called his household, the children.
All of the--all of his subjects was his... his... over his... he was domain... His domain was over them and that was called his house. So they said, "In my Father's..." Now, I believe Moffatt puts it, "in My Father's apartment house is many apartments." I--I disagree with that.
But in the original it said, "In my Father's kingdom is many palaces." That sounds better, doesn't it? That's right.
Now, when a man... In the Old Testament a Jewish man in Palestine where they was a--whatever he was, the tribe of Joseph, or Ephraim, or whatever it was... He had his own 'lotted grounds that belonged to him.

L-40 The beautiful story of--of Ruth when returning with Naomi, when Naomi had lost all of her inheritance and Boaz brought it back... I believe I preached on that last time I was here, beautiful picture. That was his little domain, his little kingdom like, his possession. It was handed down, one succeeded the other.
Now, when a father married and when he... This boy inherited what his father had. His children was born. Now, when that boy was born into this little of... We call a little acreage, or a little farm. When he was born there, the father had servants all around, but the child was raised under a tutor, teacher, instructor.

L-41 Galatians the 4th chapter first 1 to 5 verses, gives a beautiful picture of it, how that we were under the tutors so on.
But now, when this child was born he became a son, the very moment he was born in the family. You get it? Now, then there was a tutor over this boy, to educate him and to raise him up. Well, he was no more than a servant, said the Galatian letter, until he came to a age, a certain limited time that was set. And this tutor would always take the father word, "Your son is progressing right," or whatever it was. And now, that's where... I--I'm not disagreeing, my dear brother. But here take it as from one who loves you.
