<TITLE>05. Par 30-38</TITLE>L-30 Moses was born in this world, and a gifted boy. He was born to be a prophet, a deliverer. He was born with the equipment born in him, as every man that comes into the world is born with this equipment, as I firmly believe in the--in the foreknowledge of God, the predestination.

L-31   "Not that God is willing that any would perish, but all might come to repentance." But, being God, He had to know, and does, "know the end from the beginning." See? If He doesn't, then He isn't infinite; and if He is not infinite, He isn't God. So He wasn't willing, certainly, that any should perish, but He--He knowing who would perish and who would not perish. That's the reason, the very purpose that Jesus came to the earth, was to save those that God, through His foreknowledge, seen that wanted to be saved, see, because the whole world was condemned. And I don't see how we could teach it any other way than the foreknowledge of God, and the Bible plainly says that He "knows the end from the beginning," and can tell it.

L-32 Therefore, when a--a person tries to be something that they are not, they are only making an impersonation, and sooner or later it'll find you out. Your sins find you out. You cannot cover them. There is only one covering for sin, that's the Blood of Jesus Christ, and It cannot be applied unless God has called you from the foundation of the world. That's what that Blood was shed for; not to be tramped upon, and made fun of, and--and jobbed at, and--and evilly spoke of, and--and so forth. It was for a direct purpose. That's right. Not to be played with, not to be impersonated, by saying that the sins are covered when they're not. And no man can have his sins covered lest his name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. Jesus said, Himself, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him. And all that the Father hath," past tense, "given Me, will come to Me." That's right. So you can't make the Words lie. They are there for Truth and for a correction.

L-33   And Moses was born with a gift of faith; great faith Moses had. We see it, after a while, coming out in him. And he was born in a great family, as we know how that his father and his mother, and come from a family of Levi. Which, the story here, previously to this, in the Book of--of Exodus, so beautifully gives the life of this great character. And he was one of the--the greatest characters of the Bible, for he was strictly a type of the Lord Jesus.

L-34 He was born in a very odd birth, like the Lord Jesus. He was born in the time of persecution, like the Lord Jesus. He was born to be a deliverer, like the Lord Jesus. He was hid of his parents, away from the enemy, like the Lord Jesus. And he come to his time of service, like the Lord Jesus. He was a leader, like the Lord Jesus. He was a prophet, like the Lord Jesus. And he was a law-giver, like the Lord Jesus.

L-35 And we find out that he died on the Rock, and he must have rose again and everything, because, eight hundred years later he was standing on Mount Transfiguration, talking to the Lord Jesus. See? Angels packed him away. No one knows where he is buried. Even the devil didn't know that. Frankly, I don't believe he ever was buried. I--I believe that the God packed him away, and--and he died on the Rock that he had followed all the days of his life.

L-36 And he was a perfect type of Christ. He was a king over the people. He was a law-giver. He was a--he was a--a sustainer to the people. He was everything, in--in type, that Christ was.

L-37   Now, then, see that he was born with this great gifts and quality within him, then it only taken Something to flash across that, to bring that thing to Life.

L-38 See, the seed of God is actually placed in us from the foundation of the world. And when that Light first strikes that seed, It brings it to Life, but the Light first has to come upon the seed.
