<TITLE>03. Par 22-28</TITLE>L-22 And now, in Bible teaching, and I've got the New Testament tonight. So it's... I got a Collins New Testament. It's got good-sized print. But now, when I get back in the other one, I--I may have to go to them old buddies, and--and kind of read through them. But whatever it is, I--I'm glad that I got something I--I can still read. And--and--and whatever I got, I'm going to give everybody everything I can, to the glory of God, hope that He will take that age sign away. I can't ask Him to take my age away. I... You know, that's just one thing we all got to do. We got to go through that. And I know I'm not a little boy like I used to be, standing here on the platform. I'm forty-eight years old. And just think, two more years, will be fifty years old, Brother Mike.

L-23 My, can't hardly believe it! I just... I never knew that I was past twenty till about two years ago. That's right. That's right. I just... I couldn't believe it. And yet I--I... It's hard for me to believe till looked in the glass, and then I--I know it is, then. But--but just to be looking, I just feel just as good as I ever felt in my life, and I'm thankful for that, too. All praise be to God.

L-24   Now, we're studying the Book of the Hebrews. It's been... Oh, it's one of the most deepest, richest Books of the Bible. I tell you, it's a Book that really will... If God permits, and we just get down into this, I believe we'll find golden nuggets till we'll just shout the praises of God all the time. And now I...

L-25 The Book of Hebrews, really what It is, It's supposing to be written by Saint Paul, the greatest Bible expositor, I guess, the world has ever had, outside of our Lord Jesus Christ. And Paul was separating the... Now, Paul was a real Bible teacher; that is, the Old Testament. That's the only Book was written then, called Bible. And he was trying to show to the Hebrews, separating the Old Testament and showing the Old Testament being a shadow or a type of the New.

L-26   Right there we could strike a home line and stay three months right there on that one thought, right there. To go right back, if we could turn in our Bibles now, course we're on Hebrews, the 1st chapter. But if we'd turn to Revelations, the 12th chapter, you'd see it perfectly again, how the shadows. If... you that's got your pencils and going to jot down the Scriptures. In Heb-...

L-27 In Revelations 11, we find out that John, on the isle of Patmos, saw a woman standing in the skies, and she had the sun at her head and the moon under her feet. And the woman was in travail, with a child to be born. She brought forth a man child. The red dragon stood, to devour the child as soon as it was born. And the--the child was caught up into Heaven, and the woman fled into the wilderness where she was nourished for a time, time, and a half time, or a dividing of time.

L-28   Now, the woman represented the church, and the Child that she brought forth was Christ. The moon under her feet was the law, the sun at her head was grace. Twelve stars in her crown was the twelve apostles. And there's where, at what... The twelve apostles was the glory or the crowning of the New Testament. See?
