<TITLE>03. Par 4-6</TITLE>L-4 Now, tonight I wish to read from the 5th chapter, a verse or two, and the 25th and 26th verses.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water by the word,
"The washing of the water by the Word." The subject is "The Waters Of Separation."
Going back into the Old Testament, where our brother just read the Scripture lesson tonight to teach a little bit from the Word, the Lord willing...
Now, so marvelous, the Old Testament, many people just discard that old Book when it's really the... It's the shadow of the New. The only way that I can feel like I get half-way lined up is to look back in the Old Testament and see the shadows, then I know what the New Testament ought to be like. If the Old Testament was a shadow... If you see the sun a setting to your back, and your going towards your shadow, you can very well tell what you are from the looks of your shadow. And all the Old Testament was a shadow of the New.
That way, in teaching it from the Old Testament views, you'd kind of have a general conception of what the New Testament will be.

L-5 Now, in this great journey that the children of Israel was in, at the time of the setting of this passage we have under consideration now, was when Moses had went down into Egypt and had brought the children of Israel out, and God in His mercy was making preparation of how that He could make a way for His people, when after they had sinned to be reconciled again back to Him. Wonderful, beautiful picture of the old type.
Now, I want you to see it, as Moses went down to deliver the children of Israel, how God worked miracles. The people had got into a time just about like they are now.
By the way, the journey from Egypt to Palestine was a type of the Church in its journey today. They--they--they were led naturally; we are led spiritually. I know many teachers of the schools, say that the promised land was represented heaven, but I think it represents the Millennium. Because they had wars and troubles still in the--in the promised land.
They come up, and to my opinion, the church tonight is at the stage of the old church age at Kadesh-Barnea, where they're wandering about after refusing to walk in the Light.

L-6 That's why I think America tonight, that our lovely land here is in the confusion, we can't have a revival seem like. Why, there's been enough Gospel preached around America, and God's worked enough signs and wonders to convert a thousand nations this size. Great men has crossed the country, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts, and many of the great men in the world today out preaching the Gospel of deliverance and so forth, and great crowds and throngs come out, they listen, go back, set down, and go on their same routine.
If you only knew friend, that's spiritual. You have to realize that every person has a spirit in them. And if the person could only see what kind of a spirit dominated your life, you that act indifferent towards Christ, you'd be ashamed of yourself.
No matter how you're dressed, and how well, how popular you are with put the peoples, yet in your heart if God could only turn the looking glass to your heart...
