<TITLE>10. Par 34-38</TITLE>L-34 "Bring me a red heifer upon which was never a yoke." (Not yoked up with anything else.) "Bring her, and let her be brought before Eleazar, the High Priest, and the congregation, and let them kill her. And let Eleazar take the blood upon his fingers and sprinkle stripes over the door of the congregation seven times." Then said, "Let them burn her body with her hoofs, with her horns, and all that she is. And then take scarlet, and hyssop, and cedar wood, and throw it into the sacrifice, and burn this together."
And then they was to mix it with water, and put it in the--a clean place. And it was to be a waters of separation to separate the sinner (the Christian) from his sins, to bring him into fellowship again. Now, what happened? If a sojourner or a stranger or either a children of Israel had sinned and done wrong, they came to the outer courts first.

L-35 And I want you to notice the mixing of the sacrifice, beautifully. Now, the first there was put in cedar, scarlet, and hyssop. Those three elements... You notice, they's used in the Bible, many times it speaks of a covenant. Now, you take a three cornered piece of glass and shine it to a light (a sun) it'll produce seven different colors, a rainbow color. If you'll put the three and against the sun, it'll reflect the rainbow, and a rainbow stands for a covenant.
Now, I studied this some time ago, on what does scarlet mean in the Bible? Scarlet was ram's wool that had been dyed in blood, knowing that something died to color the animal a different color. The ram was a gray color--grizzle--which is a hypocrite color. But once dyed in the red... And anybody here that knows anything about science, knows that you can take anything red and look at red, and red through red looks white.

L-36 Therefore, when your sins be as red as crimson, and God looks at them through the Blood of His Son, you become white as snow. Red through red looks white; that's the approach. Red looking at red turns white. God, looking at the sinner, that's confessed he is a sinner and has accepted God's provided way of approach, God sees him white as snow. There you are. Looking red through red...
He can't look through a creed; He cannot look through a denomination; He cannot look through something else. It must be the Blood and the Blood alone. Oh, how I remember the old Salvation Army song:
 Oh, precious is that flow
 That makes me white as snow;
 No other fount I know,
 Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.

L-37 Oh, those old songs singing of the Blood; it would bring the Spirit of God among the congregation. I remember down in Kentucky, the old Missionary Baptist church, when we used to sing, "I've passed the riven veil; O glory to His Name. I'm on the other side; Hallelujah to the Lamb." The power of God would fall in that little old congregation upon the mountainside there. They would shout and scream, and walk up-and-down the aisles, slinging their hands.
Oh, they were real Baptists, not like some of the Baptists here--walk up and shake one another's hands and put your name on the paper. We got down and beat one another on the back till we come through; we had something. Them's real Baptists, that really stay there till something happens, singing the old songs of the Blood.

L-38 Now, then again, the ram's wool dyed in blood was the scarlet. Hyssop is just a common weed. It's found in Egypt, and it's found in Palestine; usually it grows out of the cracks of the building. It's a little bush of a thing, has a little white flower on it, just common, can be found anything. What did that speak of? Faith, hyssop, faith, just so common. You think you have to have some supernatural faith to get something from God; you do not. Just common faith like you've got; just apply the Blood.
Do you remember? At the night of the Passover, they taken the--the hyssop and sprinkled the door lintels and the post with the blood, sprinkled with the blood by the hyssop: simple, childlike faith.
