<TITLE>16. Par -</TITLE>L-323-703 Now, when she...?... her children was to be delivered, there were twins. And when the twin... The first baby that was to be born, the old Jewish custom, the first child had the birthright, the first child to break forth. And that, remember, was her first child. None of the rest of the boys had had any children by her. She'd never had a child till this time.
And when her first child broke forth, it was just a hand. And the midwife put a scarlet streak around, because a scarlet streak spake of redemption that the first son of the virgin Mary would be--have the scarlet streak of redemption.
And when he drew his hand back, the other one come first. And when he did, said, "Why did you do this? The other one has the birthright."
So that's what Genesis 38 means. You see? That the first child still remained until the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, that the first was under the redempting law.

L-323-707 You--you know I said... The little mule, you know, I've told about, that his eyes was whatevermore, his ears broke down, but if he was born with a birthright, a innocent, perfect lamb died in his place. There it is.
So that was for the birthright. The first baby that broke forth from the mother, and they seen that hand (and knew that it might turn back again). And when he pushed forth his hand to show that he had it, he was the first one, the midwife bound the scarlet thread around it and he pulled his hand back. See? But absolutely, he was the first. That was the scarlet streak; the scarlet streak has always through the Bible, that means redemption; which was pointing forward to the first child coming.

L-323-709 The first horse born, the first cow born, ever what it was, everything that was born first (that come forth) was under redemption, had to be redeemed; everything had to be redeemed. Hallelujah. Oh, that just thrills me. Do you get it? The first had to be redeemed. It was a law. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
And when Jesus Christ was born, He redeemed the whole world. Certainly, He did. He was the Redeemer of every creature that was ever created on the earth. He was the Redeemer. And at... All redemption lays in Him, and no other way at all can you ever come by good works, by joining church, or whatever it is; you must come by that scarlet streak, that Redeemer, that Kinsman Redeemer.

L-324-Q-71 All right, now the next is...
71. Where are the gifts... What are the gifts to be sent regarding the death of the two witnesses of Revelations 11?
Oh, Brother Palmer, if you can't ask some questions.
Now, the redemption, these streaks here, this scarlet streak, we see it meant redemption.
Now, the next question is.
What is the gifts in Revelations 11?
There's coming a time... Now, here's going to answer a question that was answered the other night, that a preacher friend of mine wrote about the Jews, how it would be.
Now, these Jews has got three and a half years promised to them. How many knows that? Seventy of weeks was promised. Said, "Messiah will come and be cut off in the midst." Three and a half years Christ preached, was killed in the--exactly three and a half years, three years and six months He preached. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
And then the abomination maketh desolation, the--the Moslem of Omar was set--put on the holy ground, as God said, twenty-five hundred years before it happened, it would be standing there. The prophet saw it, and seen it, and said, "They would... The Gentiles would be in possession there, until the Gentile dispensation would be finished."
