<TITLE>05. Par 25-29</TITLE>L-25 These other churches throughout the land, we pray that You'll be with them. And I ask that You'll be with us in a--a great way here tonight. We're so in need as I look at these wheelchairs and look down over this audience and seeing men and women who's probably worked hard today, leaning against the wall. They're hungry.
Thou hast said in Thy Word, "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst." It's a blessing to feel that way, for they shall be fed or filled. And we pray that You'll grant it.
And now, Father, circumcise the lips that will speak and the hearts that will hear. And may the Holy Spirit come take the Word of God and give It to every heart as we have need. For we ask it in the Name of Thy beloved Son, the Lord Jesus. Amen.

L-26 Just by the way of a Scripture reading, I wish to read a portion of Saint Matthew's Gospel in the 17th chapter, beginning with the 1st verse. And just for a little text, watching the clock and just as quick as we can, change the service...
After six days Jesus taken Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment as white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it's good for us to be here: if thou will, let us make thee three tabernacles;... one for Moses,... one for Elias,... one for thee.
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in who I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And by a way of text I would take those last three verses, or last three words, "Hear Ye Him."

L-27 Man has preached on this text through the age. Every time it's ever read... You can't read the--the Word of God without inspiring you. And it inspired the--the disciples when they heard it. It despired--inspired the next round of an apostles, and the next round, and of Martin Luther, John Wesley, Calvin, Knox, Finney, Sankey, on down through the age as we have come.
And if we should read it a hundred million years from tonight, it'd still be just as inspiring, because it's God Word. It's a finished product. It can never fail. It's God's Word.

L-28 Now, we could take a lengthy time on this, and we could take it from many different angles. Truly, the right angle to take this from is by the way of the second coming of the Lord.
And perhaps, maybe, your pastor has taught you this many times, on how that the order of the Scripture, how perfect It is, the second coming of the Lord. First: the Moses and Elijah, and then they looked and saw just Jesus only, all foreshadowing or picturing the coming of the Lord the second time. But tonight we want to approach it from another angle.

L-29 Now, Jesus meets with men in different circles and in different numbers. One time He met with five hundred. Another time He met with seventy, once with His twelve, once with three. And He will even come to one hungry soul.
No matter what size the circle is or how many people's gathered together, Christ is omnipresent. And He--He's the only Being that there is that's omnipresent. The devil cannot be omnipresent. God is the only One Who's omnipresent; that's everywhere. He fills all the heavens, the earth.
Here some time ago on Mount... Up in California I was looking at that great observatory, where one of the astronomers had been converted in my meeting, and they took me up there. And they got a glass that you can see a hundred and twenty million years of light space.
Light travels, I think, about eight thousand miles per second. Break that down into miles and how many miles would you have of a hundred and twenty million years? How many miles would you have in a minute? how many in a hour? in a day? in a year? in a hundred years? and in a million years? and a hundred and twenty million years? And all beyond that is filled with solar system.
