<TITLE>15. Par 57-59</TITLE>L-57 Now, notice, there they come, right down there to the place and... I want you to look at little something here, if you ever looked at it before. I don't know. But notice, here was Moses and the children of Israel, although backslidden, wandering around forty years; they getting up close to the borderline again, about where God's got the Church now. Getting back up toward the borderline again and wandering back after He'd give them their schooling and lesson... Come back up toward the borderline, and they wanted to pass through, or go over in this church and hold a revival, in other words, over in the land of Moab.
Now, Moab was a denomination, but Israel was interdenominational. See? Sure. They didn't have any nation of their own, no land to call their own. They were pilgrims (That's right.), dwelling in tents. But Moab was all organized; he had all his armies; he had everything.
And Moab was not an infidel now. Remember, he was a brother to Israel. Moab come from the sons of--of... It was Lot's daughter's child, that come--make the Moabites. And now, they were brothers to Israel.

L-58 And Israel come up there, didn't have no land, was on his road to a land. He had no church; he was on his road to the church. And the Lord was with him. He said, "May I pass through your land, brother?"
He said, "Go get the bishop and come down here and curse that fellow. We don't want none of that nonsense ever started in our land, none of that there crying, and shouting, and hollering, going up here like that. That bunch of holy-rollers."
You said, "Were they holy-rollers?"
Sure, they were holy-rollers. When they come out from the Red Sea, crossed over, Moses sang in the Spirit and Miriam got the tambourine, begin to beat it, and all of them begin to shout in the Spirit and dance in the Spirit. If that ain't a holy-roller meeting, I never seen one. Sure.
Said, "Don't let them come in here. We don't want none of that stuff started amongst we fine fellows; we know better than that stuff. My, we know where we're standing." I wonder.

L-59 So he got--went and got the bishop and brought him down. So he come out there and he said, "Now, I'll tell what I want you to do." Look how orthodox he was. Said, "I want you to make me seven altars." That's just exactly what God required, seven altars.
Said, "I want you to kill me seven sacrifices, clean bullocks." That's what God required. See how fundamental he was in the Word?
He said, "I want you to put seven rams on it." Not ewes, rams, speaking of the coming of Jesus, second coming--or the first coming of Christ. Now, you know you maybe orthodox; you may believe in the virgin birth; you may believe death, resurrection, the ascension, the second coming, but, brother, there's a little something goes besides that.
