<TITLE>05. Par 15-17</TITLE>L-15 And then cedar wood... Cedar wood is red over white. Red through red makes white. You look through something red at something red, it makes it white. A symbol, that when God looks through the red Blood of His Son, the Lord Jesus, at our red scarlet sins, they become white as snow. "Wash me in the Blood, and I'll be as white as snow." No other thing could you ever have.
I appreciate the old Salvation Army song:
 Oh, precious is the flow,
 That makes me white as snow;
 No other fount I know,
 Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.
That's the fountain that's filled with Blood drawn from Immanuel's veins; when sinners plunged beneath the flood, lose all their guilty stains." The red through red... And then the hos--hyssop...
I found--searching to see what hyssop was... Hyssop is just a common weed found in Egypt, and also it's found in--in Palestine. And sometimes it grows out of the walls where the dirt... It's just a common ordinary weed with a little blade on it, with a little white flower.
And hyssop was always used to sprinkle the Blood. In the days of the passover, Moses commanded to take hyssop, and dip it in the blood, and s--splash it upon the door post and on the lintels, the applying of the blood.
And hyssop, being just a common weed, in this great waters of separation, represents common faith. The believer coming, must not be some supernatural--oh, I don't know what--some kind of a fellow that's so highly educated till he--he got--knows all--more than Webster does. And he doesn't have to be any great theologian. He just has to use common faith, the hyssop. Pick it up anywhere. And it was all mixed together and burned. And then it was kept outside the courts that the unclean, before he could come into the fellowship... And remember, God always did and never will any other place, but meet man under the Blood. That's the only place you have fellowship with God is under the Blood.

L-16 You're only approaching until you get to that place. All Israel gathered where the sacrificial lamb was killed. And under that blood they had fellowship. Outside the blood, there was no fellowship. Always has been God's provided program to meet man under the Blood. It's 'cause He looks at man through the Blood and sees him white. Outside of that, he's a sinner. Nothing--you couldn't clean yourself; there's nothing you could ever do to make yourself any better. You cannot re--reforms and so forth, do what... Just like a leopard trying to lick his spots off of him, it just makes it brighter.
And all of our self-made ideas that we're just as good as the next man, we are not until we've come beneath the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] That's right. That's God's only place of meeting man, under the Blood.

L-17 Then when Israel come to the place of worship, all going... And a unclean person come first. He had to come to the outer courts. And this blood--or this water of separation, which is called by the New Testament, we are washed by the water of the Word. The Waters of Separation is the Word of God. Faith cometh by hearing.
And this man coming in, was sprinkled with this waters of separation.
Then like the sinner comes in and listens to the Gospel, he begins to realize condemnation. He's a sinner. He realizes that in this water of separation is the scarlet. Someone died for him, an innocent substitute, to bring him into fellowship and relationship with God again. He realized that he's out of the way by the preaching of the Word. I say this: That the Gospel yet, in it's simplicity, preached in the power of the Blood, is the greatest drawing card the world's ever knowed.
