<TITLE>17. Par 52-55</TITLE>L-52 Moses did that. Here he goes... Could you imagine, this old fellow limping on one foot, here he goes, you know, a mule behind him. "Glory. Hallelujah."
"Where you going, Moses?"
"Going down to Egypt, going to take over." Going right down to take over. Eighty years old, going down to the best, mechanized army there was in the world: had the whole world conquered. Going down, eighty years old, with a wife and a kid. It's his boy, Gershom, probably setting on her hip and here she goes down there, leading this old mule, going down to take over, and he did it. Yeah. Why? He was expecting to. Why? God said so. That settles it. When God said so, that was...

L-53 John, when he walked out there, and he was standing on the banks of the Jordan, standing preaching. And the priests across the banks said, "You mean to tell me there'll come a day, when the daily sacrifice will be taken away from the temple, and there won't be any more sacrifices, oblations over?"
He said, "There'll come a day that there'll be One come that'll be the Sacrifice."
"Oh, get next to yourself, preacher. What's the matter with you? There'll be no such a time as that."
And he started to look; he said, "Behold (Amen!)... Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." Why? He was expecting Him; because he said, "He that told me in the wilderness, go baptize with water," said, "Upon Whom thou shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on, He the One that'll baptize with the Holy Ghost and Fire." That's the One. He was expecting to see Him.
He said, "I knew Him because there was a sign of the Messiah above Him, a Light above Him, and I knew that was the Messiah." And he was expecting to see Him.

L-54 Oh, church, we ought to be expecting to see God do something, ought to expect to see a city wide revival, a shaking amongst the people. Certainly. It's promised to us. We believe it. You believe with me. If we'll put our hearts together and believe, something's going to happen. It's got to happen: Expecting it. Certainly.
Oh, how we could go on. How we could just go on with different ones, but let's get to Simeon now in closing in the next few minutes.

L-55 Simeon, he was a great man. Now, I read on him not long ago; he's around, somewhere, he's eighty years old, an old sage, well liked amongst the people, but always had been a spiritual man. And so, one day he come out saying, "I'm not going to die, till I see the Lord's Christ." Now, could you imagine...
You say, "How do you say that, Simeon? What makes you say that? You're going off on the deep end. What kind of an 'ism' have you got into?"
"None."
"Why do... What makes you say that?"
"The Holy Ghost told me. The Holy Ghost revealed it to me that I wasn't going to see death until I seen the Lord's Christ. And I believe it; that's all." Go around telling everybody. No matter how great his name was, he didn't have to be a blueblood, but he just--he just... I don't care what he was; he still believed that the Holy Ghost was right. Well, there's no two Holy Ghosts; there's only one Holy Ghost. That's right. And he was led by the Holy Ghost, revealed to him by the Holy Ghost. And the same Holy Spirit that revealed it to Simeon can reveal it to you, the promise that He made. There it is.
