<TITLE>05. Par 38-47</TITLE>L-38   And now, in the Old Testament, "If--if the word spoken by angels were steadfast," that way it had to be right. In the Old Testament, before a prophet's word could be made manifest, it had to be examined and proved. They wasn't loose with it, like we are today.

L-39 Just go out and have any kind of a sensation, or anything else, "Oh, glory to God, that's it!" You're mistaken.
The Bible said, that, "In the last days, the Devil will impersonate Christianity, so close, till it'll deceive the very Elected if possible." That's right. So, we must test it.

L-40 And how did they test it in their day? To the Urim Thummim. The breastplate of Aaron, that had those stones in it: carbuncle, jasper, diamond, ruby, sapphire. All those stones, that represent the birth of these twelve patriarchs, was in the breastplate of Aaron. And when a prophet prophesied, and that sacred Light flashed over it, God said, "That is the Truth." But, no matter how real it seemed, if it didn't flash on that, it wasn't the Truth. So, that Urim Thummim went with that priesthood.

L-41 But this Bible is God's Urim Thummim today. And when a prophet prophesies, it must absolutely flash with the Bible. Then, God says, then He comes down and proves It.

L-42   Oh, how I can glorify God today! I'm thinking back of another Sunday morning, about like this, when I was leaving the tabernacle. And you people were weeping and asking me not to go. But, when, I preached on David and Goliath, and how you going to face that cold, indifferent world that says the days of miracles is past.

L-43 I said, "There's one big giant, and as soon as we can slay him, the rest of them will take courage." And the Lord granted that. And then there was an Oral Roberts and a Jaggers, and so forth, pulled the Sword, and we fought the enemy out of the land, shut their mouths. They can't say that miracles don't happen, 'cause here they are. Sure. God's Word is Eternal. It flashed on the Urim. Flashed on the Word, that's His Urim Thummim. And when it flashed on That, it was positive.
And to anybody that's needy, if you're a sinner, you want to know how to get saved, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ."

L-44   Today, we got so many things you have to do. "Have to turn new pages. You have to do this and do that, in order to get saved."
I think of the Philippian jailer, when this jailer asked Paul, "What must I do to be saved?"
It'd been you or I, we'd have told him the things he ought not to do. "You ought to quit drinking. You ought to quit your gambling, your gambling. "You ought to quit this. You ought to quit that."
Paul never told him that. He just told him the things he ought to do. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shall be saved."

L-45 Now, "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me has everlasting Life." That's the Urim Thummim flashing, Saint John 5:24. "I'm the Lord that heals all thy diseases." James 5:14, "Call the elders, anoint in oil, prayer of faith shall save the sick." The Urim flashing. See? That's God's Eternal Word.

L-46 I don't care how many atheotic, infidelic, agnostics, skeptics rise up. God will stand by His Word. He promised He would do it.

L-47   "And we ought to give the more earnest heed to these things which we've heard, lest any time we let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels (the prophets) were steadfast..." Were they? We could spend a week on this.
