<TITLE>06. Par 21-24</TITLE>L-21 And the picture that we could place here today by the Holy Spirit, we could take hours to dig into that text; yes, I'd say for weeks. And it has been dug into for years, and yet the half has never yet been uncovered from this marvelous text, and perhaps never will. Because the Word of God is not like the word of a man. A word of a man has a certain meaning for the expression and the time it was given, but God's Word has an eternal meaning down through the ages as It flows on. Every generation can pick up the same Word because It's an inspired, eternal, everlasting, non-fading declaration from God.
No matter if It, if the apostles read It in their age, It meant something for them. If Wesley read It in his age, and Luther in his age, and Calvin in his age, yet today It's just as brilliant and bright, and got just as much of a affect as It did for them on the very day It was spoken, because It's God's Word.

L-22 Our words just say, "John, you come over to my house. I'll be glad to see you." That's our words. And it just means, "John come over to our house." But when God speaks, it's eternal. It's breathed from the very breath of the immortal, everlasting Creator Himself. So therefore, there's no way to ever find the full meaning of any expression of God. It's for every age and every generation.
Now, in this case in the--what we have before us this morning, was God speaking to three individuals. Now, three first is God's selected number of perfection. God chose three. And three is God's number of perfection. Seven is His number of worship. Fifty is His number of jubilee. Forty is His number of temptation. And three is His number that He chose to go up this day.

L-23 Now, three is the number of perfection, that is that God is perfected, the one true eternal God is perfected in the three dispensations of His Godhead manifestation: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Doesn't mean that there is three different individual gods. But there is one God represented in the three. God is not three; God is one. But three manifestations of His Godhead, meaning three dispensations of time on earth perfects the one true and living God.
He appeared to Abraham in the burning bush, and led the children of Israel in the Name of God the Father, which was a Light that hung over the tabernacle, that led them in their journey, God the Father. And then the Father, in order to bring reconciliation between God and man...

L-24 As I was speaking here sometime ago, I believe the last time at the Tabernacle on "The Dove And The Lamb," how that God alone... No one else could do it. God had to come to earth and do the job Himself. And when He represented His Son in the form of a lamb, the meekest of all the creatures, and He represented Himself in a form of a dove, the meekest of all the birds that fly the heavens... And the reason He did this is to show us that only meekness shall dwell with meekness. Humility shall dwell with humility. It has to coincide. A carpenter or a cabinetmaker who knows what it means to dovetail, we call it, to make the grooves of the tongue and groove, to make the board complete is to put tongue and groove... And when they come together, they so fit in tight together, with water on them they would swell until even air couldn't press its way through.
