<TITLE>13. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 Watch. If you'll notice the geographic closely now, 'fore we pray. Coming upon the basis, what was the apostles preaching? The Blood. What was the approach the apostles preached? The Blood. What was their slogan, what was the apostles creed? Not what we call. But the apostles went forward, the Lord working with them, confirming the Word with signs following. That was what they went forward with.
Their creed was the what? "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Ye men of Israel, Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles, and signs, and wonders," Peter said, "you've took, with wicked hands, and have crucified; and God has raised Him up. Wherefore, we are witnesses. And by faith in His Name, this man's made whole."
They said the days of miracles past with Moses, but here Peter said it's the day, because we're coming on the shed Blood of you wicked people, with wicked hands, crucified the Prince of Life, and God raised Him up. There you are.

L-53 That's the light. Look. Civilization travels with the sun, from the east to the west. Now, this is an oriental Bible; it's an oriental Book. And when the sun shined yonder, just at the break of day, it begin at Pentecost, the great church, inaugurated. Great signs and wonders followed it. Then it's upon the basis of the shed Blood, with the Holy Ghost going forward, with great signs and wonders a following.
Then, first thing you know, the next church age come in, begin to dwindle out. Then it went plumb down, till it went through the fifteen hundred years of dark ages. Then it come through again. What? It's never been light since that Pentecostal day. Certainly not. The sun rose yonder and give it's light. It's been a day (watch), all day long, from the breaking of the daylight when the sun come up. Then it went dim and dimmed out, and dimmed and dimmed. The prophet said it'll be a day that can't be day or night, kind of a smoky, cloudy like time. There's been enough light on the Gospel till they could believe on the Lord and be saved. They could accept Him in that way, but really the light of the Gospel has never shown until it's evening time.
Then over here, it shown out bright on the eastern world at Pentecost. And as the sun's going down, it's shining out bright on the western people. A day of light again. "It'll be light in the evening time, the path of glory you'll surely find." In this last days where God's pouring out the sunlight upon the people like this; and the same Holy Spirit with the same experience that was back there is here today for the evening light people. Just before dark...

L-54 Look. In the Old Testament when an agreement was made, it was under the basis of the shed blood. Quickly now, listen. What did they do? In the oriental type they took an animal, and cut it, and killed it, and cut it in two. And they took it out here, after they'd torn it in two, torn the animal in two, and laid it out here. Each man got in there, and they wrote this agreement with each other. And they cut that, or tore it in two. One man took one piece, and the other piece was taken like this. And they made a vow over the dead body of this animal. If they failed to keep their covenant, may they be as this dead animal that they'd taken the covenant over. See? The promise was made through blood. The covenant was made through blood. See what I mean?
Now, our promise was made through Blood. God Almighty took the body, the Lord Jesus Christ up to Calvary. And there He tore it in two. He took the body up into glory to sit at the right hand of the Majesty, and sent the Holy Ghost back here. And when these believers come together with the covenant, both pieces of paper had to dovetail together, or it was absolutely the wrong piece of paper.
