<TITLE>04. Par 22-24</TITLE>L-22 I think last Sunday morning I preached on "A True Witness," and this Sunday morning, the Lord willing, I want to preach on "A True Sign That's Overlooked."
I... Brother Palmer was telling me last night, that last Sunday morning I spoke on the subject or said I was going to speak this Sunday on "The Four Junctions of the Church." And when I went in last night... I usually jot it down what... I don't know whether you have to do that or not, but I have so many things try to think of, I get something I have to put it down on a piece of paper. See? And I went to look at it, and what I was meaning by that wasn't exactly the four junctions. I said it that way, truly. But what I meant was the four forms of the government of the church. And to do that, I have to get a lot of history together and maybe the next time I'll have that. But it takes a little more time than I had studying time to get it, because you have to go back and get dates and so forth. Because all you all understand that it's a... Everywhere, why, we want to be positive sure of these things before we say them. They've got to be right, because we're standing here holding the highest office that's held in the world, a minister, a minister, and the most truthful and right--accurate. We must be that way. We must depend on God to do it.

L-23 Now, in the Book of Exodus the 4th chapter...
And Moses answered and said,... behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say. The LORD has not appeared unto thee.
And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A rod.
And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it came a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared unto thee.
And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he had took it out, behold, his hand was leprosy as snow.
And he said, Put thine hand into the bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken unto the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. (You notice the two signs, and the--each sign had a voice.)
(Let me read the 8th verse again.) And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken unto the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe, also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the waters of the river, and pour it upon... dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.

L-24 And now, in St. John the 1st chapter and the 6th verse we read these verse--or this verse: St. John the 1st chapter and the 6th verse.
And there was a man sent from God, whose name was John... a man sent from God, whose name was John.
And in Ezekiel 24:24 I wish to place this Scripture in, tying it from the Old Testament, to the prophets, to the New Testament, so that you'll understand it's all the way through from Exodus, the beginning to the end.
Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this shall come, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Now, let us bow our heads just a moment as we reverently approach Him now in the way of prayer.
