<TITLE>05. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 Now, I know that many Bible teachers tonight are saying, "What's he going at?" I know the correct picture of this, brethren, is foreshadowing the coming of Jesus. But tonight I wish to take it in a little different sphere, little different way. It don't... Every subject in the Bible, and everything in the Bible ties together in every Word in the Bible. The entire Bible, every word ties into Jesus Christ, everything. Every type, every shadow, everything ties in. So that's the reason tonight I believe solemnly in the Word of the living God, this blessed old Bible. I believe on any foundation outside of that it'll crumple as sure as the world.
And we find them going up into the mount. And there was three witnesses: hope, faith, and charity. And then God's going to do something; He brought three witnesses from heaven. Peter, James and John of the earth, and He had Moses, Elijah, and Jesus on the mount: three heavenly beings, three earthly beings. Oh, I just love Him when He does that. I'll imagine the leaves even stop blowing when this taken place. You know in the Bible it is written, "Be, stand still and know that I am God."

L-15 That's where the trouble is today among the churches. God can't get them to stand still long enough. They're running here and running here, and chasing here and chasing there, and mission trotting, and church joining. Why don't you stop that and stand still a minute? When God was going to take His children through the Red Sea He made the Red Sea stand still. Why? He showed His power.
One day when the sun was setting in the west, and God showed His power, He made the sun stand still when He showed the sons of man what He was going to do. One day He was going to give sight to a blind man. And the Bible said, "Jesus stood still," while God worked with Him, or worked through Him. And I'm sure of this tonight, my Pentecostal friends, Methodist, Baptist, and whatever you may be, if you'd stand still long enough, don't get all flusterated, stand still, God will reveal His Divine purpose to you. Get quiet, get still before Him.

L-16 There's nothing like those beautiful hours, how I love to go out of a morning after the night has passed, and the earth has become still. Go out in the flower garden. All the fragrance of the flowers is hanging low and the perfume of the... Here in Indiana we have the honeysuckle. How I love to take a ride just at the break of day. But when the fluster, bluster of the day comes, the fragrance seems to be brushed away.
That's the way the church is today; it doesn't know what it believes; it just jumps from pillar to post. And every little thing comes along it jumps after it; and therefore, all the beauty and the perfume of the church has been sprayed away. That's right. Be still. Someday everything's going to stand still. Time's going to stand still, and it'll blend into eternity. The moon will stand still; the sun will stand still. Men will stand still. I'm saying this tonight, brother, that'll be a great time. The sinner will be there.
