<TITLE>08. Par 71-77</TITLE>L-71 Now, you notice, Juda guards the eastern gate. And Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Juda. He shall descend from the eastern skies, enter in by the way of the gate. He comes from the eastern gate from the tribe of Juda. And He's the Lion of the tribe of Juda.
And we find out, over in our coming message this morning, that He still is proclaimed the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root, the very beginning of David. David was the king, eternally. And Christ sets on the throne of David in the millennium, which is eternal King. "There will never be one fail David." Hallelujah. "Never be one fail David." God promised that, said, "None would ever fail David, not one."
You say, "What about today, where are those Jewish judges?"
He still has the Seed, Christ is his Son according to the flesh. There one sets there. "David shall not fail." That's right. And Christ is that Lion of the tribe of Juda from which David sprang from.

L-75 Now, we find out that they were the guards to the mercy seat. They watched the mercy seat. Nothing come to it; it crossed over the tribes first before it could get to the mercy seat. Every man willing to give his life, every Israelite in camp would die before anything could enter into that camp over there and take that mercy seat. And now, we find out that was the Old Testament order.
And in the New Testament order we find the same thing, that it was guarded, the mercy seat. Oh, I hope you get it. The mercy seat is still guarded, still got the guards. We found out that those guards are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, guarding the Book of Acts, the acts of the Holy Spirit done amongst the apostles, which is the--the Book of Acts of the New--of the New Testament. And the four writers of the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all guard that mercy seat to show that it is God, the Holy Spirit today. Each Scripture, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, every one of them will back up the true Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and the acts of the Holy Spirit.

L-77 Now, when we get beyond that, then that's not It. But It backs up the true message. Like we find out in Acts 2:38, where, "Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins."
And today they adopted the Name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost to be baptized in. There's no Scripture for that. There's no background. There's no--there's no nothing to guard that, not a thing. You say, "Matthew said it." Matthew guarded It, Matthew 28--1:18 said:
... the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When... his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with a child of the Holy Ghost.
... this was all done... While Joseph her husband,... (rather)... being a just man,... not willingly to make her a publick example, was minded to--to put her away privately, on this wise.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Then, the Holy Ghost and God the Father is the same Person or He had two fathers. See? So you see...
And she shall bring forth a child,... call his name JESUS:...
... and this was done, that it might be fulfilled... spoken of... prophet,...
God would be with us, called Emmanuel, which is God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost in one Name, Jesus Christ, which guards that gate against error.
