<TITLE>19. Par 205-219</TITLE>L-205 On earth He was a Prophet; in glory He's a Priest; coming, He's a King. Oh. I like that: Prophet, faithful Witness of the Word; Priest, with His own Blood before God; King, King of saints, not king of the world now; He's King of saints. We have earthly kings over them people. But we have a King too and a Kingdom. That's the reason we act different.
Like I said not long ago about my wife; we was going to the store up here, and we seen a miracle almost. It was summertime; a woman had on a dress. And I said, "That's a strange thing." I said, "If I had my camera, I'd take the lady's picture." See? Because we... That was the first woman we seen with a skirt on, you know, dressed like a lady ought to be. All women...
She said, "Well, why is it, Bill, that our people dress, is it we're--we're commanded?"
I said, "It's not our people; it's God's people. God's people requires holiness."
Said, "Well, don't they go to church?"
I said, "There's a lady, right there sings in a choir at a certain church here."
"Well, then, why that?"
I said, "Because she isn't taught any different." That's exactly right.

L-213 That's that church carnal we'll get into this week: church spiritual, church carnal. They're all drifting right back to the man-made churches. The Bible said in Revelation 17 they would do it. They're returning back right now, all of them acting like it, organizing, "Well, we are a certain. We organize. We're this and we're that." It wasn't so at the beginning, taking all the power out of the church and putting it on a bishop or a pope. God's in His church, among His people, manifesting Himself through the laity and everywhere. Now, but in this day...
She said, "Well, aren't we Americans?"
I said, "No. We live here, but we're not Americans. We are Christians; our Kingdom is of above."

L-216 And if our lives come from up there, then we act like that. Because we come... Our Life is from a holy place; it looks different; it dresses different. The women up there has long hair, and they don't wear manicure on their face, and--and they don't wear shorts. They--they wear skirts and long robes and dresses, and they have long hair and things. So the--the nature of it from up there reflects back on us.
The men don't smoke, chew, lie, steal. They come... Their spirits come from a holy place, makes them act holy, recognize one another as brothers. See? That's it. We're of a Kingdom, and we have a King. And He's the King of saints. And the word "saint" come from the word of the "sanctified ones."
Then when a person is sanctified, Christ, the Holy Spirit, moves into the heart and becomes King over that. Oh, my. That ought to go home. Oh, when the sanctified vessel of God... Christ the King, the Holy Ghost, moves in and He... A king has his domain. Oh. Amen. And your whole being is ruled by the King of saints, a Kingdom... Every kingdom on earth will be shook, tore down by atomic power. But the Bible says, "We receive a Kingdom that cannot be moved." Amen. The King of saints...

L-219 I want you to notice the symbols of Christ also in the Bible and here on earth. On the earth He was a prophet. Do you believe that? A prophet is the Word. We know that. The word "prophet" means "a Divine interpreter of the Word." The Divine Word is wrote, and the prophet has the Divine Spirit of God within him. And, you know, the prophet in the Old Testament was called "god." How many knew that?
Jesus said, "If they called them gods... Isn't it written in your law, they are--'You are gods'? And if they called them gods, who the Word of God came to (the prophet), how will you condemn Me when I say I'm the Son of God?"
