<TITLE>41. Par -</TITLE>L-574-400 Now, watch. Now, notice. The wise men followed a star. I'm going to take it back more of a minor way. See? The wise men followed a star, asking, "Where is He born King of the Jews?" You've heard the song. "We've seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him." You've heard that, read it in the Scripture. All right.
 Westward leading, still proceeding,
 Guide us to Thy perfect Light.
See, the star was guiding to the perfect Light, because the star was only reflecting a Light. That's where we got this out here the other day. See? How many was here Sunday to see that? See? Just got through preaching about it. Shekinah Glory reflected in the star, and the star reflects It. Here was the Angel of the Lord standing here on the platform reflecting It back out there, out of the Shekinah Glory, just exactly the same thing. There it was right exactly. Looking here at the real one, looking out there and It being reflected right on the side like that. See?

L-575-402 Now, notice this, now, that star rose in the east. Is that right? It was a great star. All right. And who was the actual earthly star in the time of the coming of Jesus? Why, John. He was the one who guided them to that perfect Light. Is that right? That was in the east at the first appearing of Jesus. And now, there's a lot of little stars that cross over the horizontal until it comes over to the evening star.
And the evening star shines in the evening. The morning star shines in the morning. And they're both the same size stars and the same kind of star. Now, put two and two together and you got it. See? See, there you are. So it isn't... The star isn't Messiah; he's just reflecting the Messiah.

L-575-404 Now, the star does not reflect its own light. The star reflects the light of the sun. Is that right? [A brother says, "No."--Ed.] Huh? ["In a sense. The moon does; the stars reflect their own light."--Ed.] Yeah, the moon... Yeah, really... I really mean that the moon reflects just the light. Yeah. Now, if a--if a star reflecting its light, then its light would have to come from the--from God, because it is a glacier of some sort. Isn't it? [The brother says, "Sun."--Ed.] Huh? A sun of itself, off of the sun. ["The suns farther away than our sun."--Ed.] Yeah. And they... We're told that those suns come from the big sun. The sun throwed these missiles off and they're little burning missiles like the sun. So they're amateur suns to us. Is that right? Amateur lights. ["Some are... Most of them are bigger than our sun."--Ed.] I mean to us, to us. See? We're talking about ourselves here. All right.

L-575-405 Now, if they are suns to us, or light-givers, they are part of the main giver. See? The big sun gives us the big light, the perfect light. The little suns, or the little stars, which we can see in bodies, they may be far beyond the--the sun that shines, but what they reflect to us is a smaller light. But they're only giving witness of a light. Is that right? Then when the big sun rises, the little suns go out. Is that right? They're not the--the sun to us, they are a reflector like the sun. See what I mean?
Now, the biggest among them in the morning, that heralds the coming of the sun, the setting of the sun and the coming of the sun, is the morning star and the evening star. Is that right? Two of the biggest stars, the eastern star and the western star.

L-576-407 Now, now you see where it's at? Elijah was the messenger to hail, herald the coming of the eastern star, and predicted to be the heralder of the--the western star, or the coming again of the new day after this day is past. Now, you see what it is?
The east, "It shall be light in the..." See, just before the Sun was herald to the earth, the morning star give witness that the Sun's a-coming. Is that right? See, that brings forth the morning star. Well, then the morning star and the evening star are the same type of stars, and there's little stars all across. Don't you see what I mean? The messengers.
