<TITLE>05. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 And now, quickly, because I'm just going to speak a little bit. I want your attention.
Now, if Jesus taken Peter, James, and John, and went up into a high mountain... Now sometimes God gathers in great numbers of people. One time He gathered with five hundred brethren. Again, He gathered with twelve, then He gathered with seven, then with three. And He ga... He, one time He met just with one. But He's promised that wherever two or three were gathered together He would be in their midst. So we have that blessed assurance tonight to know that Christ is in this building. For He can't take His Word back, He's got to stay with His Word.

L-20 Now, when they went up to the mountain... And three is a witness. In the Old Testament under the Jewish laws, three testimonies was a witness. It could be confirmed by three testimonies. And now, God taken Christ up to the mountain, not just for just to take Him up there, but He went for a purpose. He was going to do something. And wherever Christ is around, He's there for a purpose. And if He's here tonight, He's here for a purpose.
And when He was up there, watch, He taken Peter, James, and John; that's a witness. And they represent: hope, faith, and charity. That's the three greatest witness we have in the Christian realms anyhow. Hope, faith and charity, that's hope, faith and love. Peter represented faith; James, hope; and John, charity. And then, did you notice while they were there (God fixing to do something) He also had three from heaven to come down: Moses, Elias, and Jesus. There was three men of the earth to witness these events. There were three men from heaven to represent this, or to witness this event.

L-21 Now watch close, because I haven't got much voice. Three here on earth: Peter, James, John, of the earth; Moses, Elijah, and Jesus of the heaven was to witness this event.
Now, my brother theologians, I know the real meaning, the significance of this was the coming of the Lord, the order of the coming: Moses and Elijah to appear and then they looked back and saw Jesus only.
But tonight, let's approach it (for a few minutes) under another way, 'cause all the Scriptures tie together; there's no loopholes. That's the reason on some things that I might speak, it might seem to seem strange to you. The Angel of the Lord Who speaks to me, has never told me nothing but what was vindicated in this Scripture. That's the reason I know it come from God. See?

L-22 Now, what I think God was doing here to the world also... If we'll go back to the Old Testament just a--a little bit to pick up a little Scripture to bring up here before we close it, or, Holy Spirit nail it down for us... In the Old Testament there's patterns and types and shadows; all the Old Testament was kind of a shadow of the New Testament. And all that was in both Testaments is a shadow of this day.
Now, we find out that in the Old Testament, when a child is borned in a family, we find out that when he was borned, he was a son. When this boy was borned he was a son by birth.
But before we go to that, I like to speak something to you, which many people has asked me, why is John 14 wrote the way it is? It speaks like this, "In My Father's house is many mansions." Doesn't that seem strange, "In My Father's house? is many mansions?" How could a mansion be in a little house?
