<TITLE>11. Par 112-121</TITLE>L-112   But look at the humble and meek. There is your resurrection again. Oh, blessed be the Name of the Lord. There you are. Notice.
... he made him heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who made the worlds? Christ. "Christ made the worlds?" Yes, sir. Let's go just a little further.
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his presence,...
The brightness of whose glory? God's glory. The express image of Whose Presence? God's. Oh, I love this!
... or express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word...
There you are. The Word, that upholds all things. Jesus said, in Matthew 24, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but my Words shall never pass away." He upholds all things.

L-113 Science tries to down It, and say, "It's an old Book. It's been translated."

L-114 Even the Roman Catholic church, Bishop Sheen said, "That's been translated four or five different times, and not much to It. You couldn't live by It if you had to." But He upholds all things by His Word. Amen. That's what I think about It. I believe the Bible.
... the word of his power, (there's power in the word), when he had by himself purged our sins,... (looky here)... set down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

L-115   What is Paul trying to do? He is trying to show that God purposed all things in Christ, and Christ was the express image of God. The entire rest of the chapter deals with how that He was higher than Angels, higher than all powers. Angels worshipped Him. Paul was trying to magnify Him.

L-116 Now, I want to try, if I don't get any further than this, the rest of it is just magnifying Christ. What Paul says over here, like in the 11th chapter, and all about talking about the world. He said, "What--what Angel did He say, 'Thou art My Son, this day I have begotten Thee'?" See?

L-117 "The end of the world, they shall perish. The world shall perish. But the... And all the things of the world shall perish. He would fold them up like a vesture. They'd be old, and turned, and go away. 'But Thou remaineth. Thou remaineth forever. Thou art My Son. This day I have begotten Thee, and will never perish, setting at the right hand of the Majesty.'"
What does right hand mean? Not, God has got a right hand that somebody is setting on it. Right hand means the "power and authority," got the authority of everything in Heaven and earth. And all the Heavens and earth is made by Him.

L-118   Now, Who is this great Guy, this great Fellow? Christ. Here, God in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, it's not... It's a trinity, but It's not a trinity of people. It's a trinity of office, of one God.

L-119 He was the Father leading the children of Israel. That was His office, the great Jehovah Father. And He dwelt on earth, called the Son. And now He dwells in His Church, called the Holy Ghost. Not three Gods; one God in three offices: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
People try to make Him three different Gods, God the Father. That's the reason, Jews, you could never... You'll never bring this to a Jew, no, that there. He can't. He's got a commandment, that, "I'm One God." There's only one God.

L-120   In Africa they baptize three different ways: they baptize once for the Father, and once for the Son, and once for the Holy Ghost. The Apostolic Faith mission, they baptize three times, face forward, to His death. What they call the Full Gospel on the West Coast, or the East Coast, baptize three times backward, said He... unto His burial.
And he said, "When He died, He fell forward."

L-121 Another said, "Wait. You bury a man on his back." Just little old technique things, when, they're both wrong; both wrong, according to the Scripture.
This is the Urim Thummim. It settles it.
