<TITLE>36. Par 309-316</TITLE>L-309 "Mercy seat..." Ezekiel and John both seen the same things. Now, notice. Now, we're just about to come to the end, just in a little bit. Now, here's where I want you to get something. Oh, please don't miss it. Now, how many knows that those Cherubims was living Creatures and not beasts? They were the--a higher order.
Now, is an Angel a higher order than a man or a lower order? All right, sir. Which is the greatest, a son of God or an Angel? Son of God. Which would God hear the best, an Angel standing there before Him pleading for something, or one of you all pleading? One of you all. See? 'Cause you're sons and daughters. They're--they're servants. See? They're servants, and you're sons and daughters. So see what authority you have, just afraid to use it.

L-311 Now, I want you to notice here; this is beautiful. Oh, my. Let me get over here and skip some of this so I can get down to this. Get your pencils out; here's what I really wanted you to draw in. [Brother Branham draws on the blackboard--Ed.] Maybe I better make that a little smaller.
Now, Israel in their journey, when they camped... Now, watch this close. They camped: one, two, three, four. (No, made it wrong.) One, two, three; one, two, three; one, two, three; one, two, three; that's the way they camped around the mercy seat. Now, and all of you know that; you've watched the--read in the Old Testament.

L-312 Now, on the east side, the east side, right here, I'll put it down so you'll be sure to get it. East, the east side was always Judah. This is the gate, J-u-d-a, Judah. And with Judah was the head of three tribes with their banner: three tribes with their banner, the banner of Judah. You remember... How many seen The "Ten Commandments," Cecil DeMille's "Ten Commandments"? All right. See, you read it right here in the Scripture, in the Scripture there, rather; there was Judah on the east side. All right.
On the west side, down here (Now, you put it down; you can read it right if you want, Exodus, and so forth, as they come out.) was Ephraim, E-p-h. And he had three tribes with their banner. All right, Ephraim...
Now, and on the south side was Reuben, R-u-b, with three tribes and their banners.
And on the north side was Dan: Dan with three tribes, and three tribes and their banner. All right.

L-316 Now, that's the way they camped. Now, remember. Let's read now in the Scripture now so we get this just exactly right. I'll begin back at the 7th verse.
And the... beast was liken unto a lion, and the second... liken unto a calf... (or a young ox),... and the third beast was like the face of a man, and the four beast was--and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
And the four beasts each had of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy,... Lord God Almighty, which was, which is, and shall come. And when these beasts gave glory and honour and thanks to him that set on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever.
The four and twenty elders fell down before him that set on the throne, and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns--cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory... honour... power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are... created.
