<TITLE>09. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 Israel had one meeting place for fellowship, only one place that Israel could meet God, that was under the shed blood. No other place did God meet them but under the shed blood.
Now, we get over into Numbers the 19th chapter for a moment just to quote it. Won't have time to read it, but just to quote it. We find out in Numbers 19 we find this, that God told the children of Israel on their journey, said, "Get Me a red heifer upon which has never come a yoke." That is what? That means something.
If we had time we could go into those symbols: a red heifer. She must be red, not a spot on her: red. Red's a bad color in one sense of the word. But red is the color of atonement. Did you ever know, scientifically red through red looks white? That's right. Red through red, looking at red through red, it looks white. "Though your sins be red like crimson..." But when God looks through them through the--the shed Blood of His Son, you're as white as snow: red through red. No other color does it. Red through red looks white. And that's the way God looks at you, though you... No matter what you are, if you've come under the shed Blood, God don't see you, but He looks through the Blood. And though your sins be so many, yet you look as white as a lily to Him.

L-33 Red heifer with no spot on her, she must never have a yoke upon her neck. I could blast that to pieces right now. She isn't yoked up with anything (That's right.), no unbelieving organization. She stays free. Then she was to be what? The sacrifice. Then she was to be burnt, killed in the evening time, at--not in the morning, in the evening. And then she is to be burned, and her ashes was to be kept aside for the waters of separation. Oh, what a beautiful scene this is, if we just could get into it: how the waters, or ashes, was to be put with, made waters of separation. Therefore, then they was to take her blood and make seven stripes over the door where you enter into the congregation (out of the courts into the congregation), into the holy place. And then the Spirit was in the holy of holies.

L-34 Notice. Now, what a beautiful picture here. I hope these next five or six minutes you can catch it. Notice the holiest of holies, and the way of approach made for the unclean person. They had certain processes they must come through. The first, the unclean must come to the outer courts, and there be sprinkled with the waters of separation. What is the waters of separation? The Bible tells us that we are washed by the water of the Word of separation. Therefore the Word separates us from our unbelief. How could a creed do it? It's the Word. The Word separates us. It's the thing that lets us know that we are wrong. If you went to the church that says, "It's all right to do this," and went over here, and said, over here, "And do that..." Come to the Word. The Word's what separates us.
And now notice another thing. (I hope you forgive me if I run over this time.) Notice another thing. (It's just too good to let go.) The one that sprinkled this water of separations must have clean hands. And that must be kept in a clean place. The waters of separation cannot stay in a vile place. It must be kept in a clean place.
