<TITLE>17. Par 65-69</TITLE>L-65 Notice, just as soon as the first supernatural pang happened, Peter was so much like the world today. As soon as the supernatural was done, the great miracle was done... Well, just like in the days of Moses, there was a mixed multitude.
Moses went down into Egypt. And when he went down there, what happened? He done some miracles. And when he did, the believer and unbeliever all come together, because miracles excites the people. And there was a mixed multitude went with them, and that same mixed multitude polluted the camp. Amen. Not trying to be ignorant, but...?... or what?
That was the very thing that ruined Israel in its march, was that mixed multitude. And if that wasn't the very type of today, I don't know what. A mixed multitude, mixed believers and unbelievers... Take them into the church, just as long they'll come and be baptized, that's all that's necessary. Brother, you're supposed to be dead before you're buried. Mixed multitude...

L-66 And Peter got all excited. And he said right quick as soon as he seen the supernatural; he said, "Let's build here three tabernacles." Right quick, same thing Luther did, same thing Wesley did, and same thing our Pentecostal brethren, all of us did.
"Oh, we'll make a Pentecostal this, and a Pentecostal this, and a Pentecostal this. We'll make our organization. And well, these believes He's coming on a white horse."
"Well, we don't. We believe He's coming on a white cloud."
"Well, let them go; they're not of us."

L-67 Oh, there you are. The supernatural done. And then here come the Lord gives some gifts and sent some man out not long ago, our gracious brother, Tommy Osborn, and Brother Roberts, and some of them. And when he went out and the supernatural begin to done... what... They just couldn't stay in their organization and move on. The first thing you know, they had to go make them a latter rain, and a former rain, and a inner rain, and an outer rain, and oh, my, my: rain, rain, rain, rains.
What is it? The supernatural's done, and a mixed multitude starts. That's right. It excites the--the people. A mixed multitude goes with them.

L-68 Now, listen. While Peter was yet speaking, he was still speaking when he said, "Let us build three tabernacles, one for Moses, and one for Elijah, and one for Jesus."
And before he could even get through speaking... Watch what the Scriptures say: "While he yet spake, the Voice spoke out of heaven and said, 'Forget it.'" Otherwise, "This is My beloved Son. Hear ye Him."
Don't hear Moses. I'm glad of that. I'm so glad. Moses represented the law. The law couldn't save nobody. The law was a policeman. The law condemned and put you in a jail; it couldn't get you out. Grace brings you out. But the law puts you in jail; it condemned you. Grace brings you out.

L-69 Then he said, "I'll build another tabernacle. We'll build one for all those who wants to keep the law, and let them go over here. And they'll have an organization over here, the law keepers. Then we'll have those who believes in a prophets."
Now, what did Elijah represent? He represented God's justice. He was a mighty prophet. He went up on top of the mountain. The Lord sent him up there. Somebody got to meddling with the Lord's business, telling him where to go and what to do.
And Elijah raised up and said, "If I be a man of God, let fire fall from heaven and burn them up." And a fire come down and burned up a fifty. Well, they went back and told the king.
He said, "Oh, that--what that was, they--they--they probably is a heat storm, you know, or something or other. They got struck by lightning. I'll send another fifty."
So he sent another fifty, and Elijah raised up and said, "If I be a man of God, let fire fall from heaven and consume them." And another fifty went. Wasn't no heat storm that time, you see. See, they just didn't understand. But it was God's justice.
