<TITLE>06. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 Watch this now. Watch those two spirits rise in Genesis. If we had time, we could take the night coming through the Bible, showing those two spirits. Now, look what Cain done. When he seen his brother was accepted, his brother had the supernatural revelation, then he was jealous over him and sought a way to kill him.
There's been a enemy, the spirit of Cain and the spirit of Abel from Genesis all the way through the Bible, all the way over in Revelations, from the creation till now, and will be until Jesus comes. Do you understand that they were both religious? They both worshipped the same God. They both confessed the same God. But God vindicated Abel. He said, "This is my one, and that's not Mine." But both of them worshipped Him, both of them belonging to church.

L-25 Now, you could see it in Esau and Jacob. Why, Esau was a--more of a religious man than Jacob was, but God chose Jacob. There was nothing supernatural happened in Esau's life. But Jacob's...?... the supernatural.
Look among the animals. Look in the ark (in Noah's ark). There were two birds, one of them a crow, and the other one a dove. One had an antichrist spirit, and the other one had the spirit of Christ. When they were both turned loose, the--the--the crow could eat anything he wished to. He was satisfied with the world. But the dove had to come back.
Let's give a beautiful illustration. Look at Israel down in Egypt, God promised, take them to the promised land. Here they come on their journey up through the land. They come up to have a revival. They wanted to go through the land of Moab. Moab was his brother. And he said, "Can I come into your country?"
He said, "No."

L-26 But Moab worshipped God; so did Israel. Now, Moab was a denomination. He was a great nation, all organized. But Moses with the children of Israel dwelt in tents, scattered everywhere. Now, they both had pastors. Moab sprung up from the Lot's daughter. Now, they both--they worshipped God. They had a bishop up there. And his name was Balaam. And so he... They went over to get their--their bishop to come over here and stop this bunch of holy-rollers. "Yeah, stop them."
Could you imagine a man, a big nation stopping his brother on the road to the promised land that God had promised him, a man following the promises of God?
So they called Balaam out. Now, I want you to watch how formal they was, because it was the spirit of Cain. Now, he gathered up all the elders, and he said--the bishop said, "Build me seven altars. And upon every altar give a clean sacrifice, a bullock. And also, upon each altar, a ram." A ram spake of Christ.

L-27 Now, here they are up on a mountain, looking down at that bunch of fanatics. Now, they said, "They're no good. Now, pastor, now stop them; curse them."
"All right. Oh, I'm a theological student now. I know what God requires. So build me seven altars."
That's what God required. That's what God had down there too in Israel. He said, "Seven clean sacrifices." They had seven too. "Seven lambs." They had seven lambs too. See how fundamental they are? They both believed the Bible. They both did what God said. Now, the--the prophet went forth to curse that people, and when he did, God condemned him.
Now, what was the difference? If they're both preaching the Bible, if they both build churches, what was the difference in them? Because in Israel God was a vindicating them. He had a Pillar of Fire over them. They were practicing Divine healing by a brass serpent. They had healing, and they had joy. They had a smitten Rock. They had an Angel among them. These had the Word; but these had the Word and an Angel.
