<TITLE>13. Par -</TITLE>L-317-671 In the Bible there you'll find out it was called certain stones. Some of them a little difference, you never heard of it. If you look back in the dictionary you find out it's the same stone, just a different name change.

L-318-674 Now, when we got this morning at Brother Neville's message. And as many times they brought the Urim Thummim.

That is the thing. Not just one place, and say, "Well, the Bible says this." Oh, sure, it says lots of things. But you must make it all be put together. And when the Spirit of God comes and gets into the--the Word, It places it all together and reflects one great big Light, and that Light is Jesus Christ. Amen.
