<TITLE>07. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 So, God taketh these three up into a mountain. It was such a beautiful place to be, until Peter referred to it later as the holy mount. Now, it didn't mean that the mountain was holy; It meant the holy God was on the mountain. That's in the people where we call holy people. It doesn't mean that they are any different from anyone else. It's the holy God that's on the unrighteous people. They're still human. But it's a holy God.
Now, he has them up here alone. And He's got Peter, James, and John standing there as earthly witness of what He's going to do. And then He brings three from heaven, that He will confirm the same in heaven. For whatsoever is confirmed on earth is also confirmed in heaven. "What you bind on earth, I'll bind in heaven."
Upon such a word as that, I wonder this afternoon, our listeners, how can we be so petty then? And so dilatory about reaching out and taking a hold of the promises of God, when He gave this blessed promise to His Church: "I'll be with you, even in you, till the end of the age." And then we set along as if God never said it. "Whatever you bind in the earth, I'll bind it in heaven. What you loose on the earth, I'll loose it in heaven." Whether it's sickness, whether it's disease, whether it's whatever it is, God gave this blessed promise. And it's our privilege to pick up this promise and use it.

L-20 Some of we ministers, we should be ashamed of ourselves, as we keep our congregation way below their privileges. The whole Christian church today is living thousands of miles below their God-given privilege, because of just so half asleep, dismal like... Take the promise; believe it. God said so; that settles it forever.
No matter how long it takes to materialize, don't--that... Time doesn't mean nothing to God. It's His Word that we take and we believe. Abraham waited twenty-five years for that child to come. But it arrived. Certainly. We believe it, because God said so.

L-21 And now, God in His great picture drama that we have under consideration this afternoon, He brings in earthly witnesses: Three: Peter, James, John, earthly witnesses. Then from heaven He brings three heavenly witnesses to see what He's going to do. Oh, I love to see Jehovah moving out to display His power and His grace. Oh, it's so beautiful when you see Him in His great power. Before He does it, He will set on the sideline something, some people, some believers to watch Him display His great omnipotence.
And I notice Him now, as He brings from heaven to watch this seen, three: Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. He brings from the earth Peter, James, and John. 'If I'm going to confirm this in the earth, I'm going to confirm it in heaven, also." It's got to be a witness here on earth, and it's got to be a witness also in heaven. Oh, can you see it?

L-22 Notice, now, as He comes. And then this had another meaning to it. I know many of you my brethren, the clergymen, you apply that to the coming of Christ. That's right. It was applied there, the order of the coming of Christ. As they looked and they seen glorified Jesus, they looked again and seen Moses and Elijah, the two witnesses Revelation 11. Then they looked back and seen Jesus only. Exactly with the order the--the coming glorified Christ a preaching to the Jews, and then Jesus coming with His Bride. Exactly.
But every word is so inspired, till it will just connect the entire Bible together. Any subject in the Bible that you'd want to speak on will tie right in with that. Certainly it is. It's inspired.
