<TITLE>38. Par 326-331</TITLE>L-326 Here. Mercy, m-e-r-c-y s-e-a-t, "mercy seat," nothing could come anywhere around it without crossing those tribes. Crossing what? The lion; crossing the man, intelligence of the man; and crossing the workhorse, as an ox; by crossing the eagle, the swiftness of it. See? The heaven, the earth, in between, and all around... You see, they were guards. And above it was the Pillar of Fire. Brother, nothing touched that mercy seat without the approach...
And the only thing that could approach it was through the blood. Aaron went in there once a year with the blood. Now, you see it?
Now, watch. Each head of three tribes guarding the mercy seat, the mercy seat of the Old Testament... Now, have you got that down, everybody? Now, here's a brand new one, brother. Listen to this, then we'll go. Now, remember, that was the guards of the Old Testament. How many's ever read it in the Bible, you know that that's right? See, that's the guards of the Old Testament.

L-328 Now, we're living in another age. Glory. Oh, I love this age. Don't you? Now, God has a mercy seat today to be guarded. You believe that? Where's the mercy seat found? In the heart of man. Where did it come in the heart of man? At the day of Pentecost when the Holy Ghost (which is God) come into human hearts. Is that right? Now, let's mark this down here, and get ready to draw it if you want to. Pentecost, P-e-n-t; I'll put: Pentecost. This is the mercy seat, the Holy Ghost. Put in here... I'll tell you what, make it more appropriate, let's put in here the "Dove" which means the bird. See? All right, guarding the mercy seat, now has God got guards for the mercy seat today? Now that... Now, watch how beautiful it's drawed out.

L-329 I was setting the other day and saw this, and I just jumped up and run around and around and around the chair, saying, "Glory. Glory. Glory. Glory. Glory," around, around. Charlie, I act worse than I do up in the woods sometime. Sister Nellie, if I'd act like that, you'd run me out of your house, I guess. Oh, I just had a glorious time. Now, watch what it was, what the Lord give me.
Now, Pentecost, after Pentecost, wrote a Book of what? Acts of the Holy Ghost, A-c-t-s. Is that right? What does the Acts start off with, the first thing to enter into salvation? Acts 2:38. Who's that last one...?... Is that right? They was all filled with the Holy Ghost and begin to speak with other tongues. And Peter stood up and preached them a sermon. They said, "What can we do? How we going to get into that?" He said, Acts 2:38, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ."

L-331 Now, remember, God's got some guards for that--for that mercy seat. What is that mercy seat guard? All right. M-a-t-h, Matthew, on the east; Luke--Luke, Mark, and John. All of their four Gospels vindicate the Book of Acts to come; they guard it anywhere you want to look at it.
Let's just take one, just one, we ain't got time. I got twenty or more wrote down here, but let's just take one on this subject for salvation. Are we going to have time to pray? No, it's one o'clock, so I guess we won't have it unless you all want to pray for the sick. Now, I got--I got, yeah, plenty of time. See? [A brother says, "Stay all day."--Ed.] All right.
