<TITLE>07. Par 74-87</TITLE>L-74 And what does it do? It condemns the intellectual unbeliever, to judgment. It always has. To spurn mercy, nothing left but judgment. So it gets the--the intellectual and the unbeliever ready for the judgment. Because, what do they do? They condemn it.

L-75 That's the reason the Jews eat their own flesh. That's the reason the blood run out of the city when Titus, the great Roman general, rode in there, is because they had rejected the Holy Spirit. Judgment had to come because they had made fun of It. Jesus told them, when they called Him Beelzebub, that He said, "I forgive you," the atonement had not been made, "but," said, "when the Holy Ghost is come to do the same thing, to speak against It will never be forgiven." And that generation was never forgiven of it. That's right.

L-76 Judgment to the unbeliever! It's put out there for that purpose, to give light to the believer, and darkness to the unbeliever. Just as the Pillar of Fire was; It made light, to cross to the promised land, and darkness to those who did not believe. God's signs always does that, put out the eyes of the unbeliever, and gives sight and light of walking to the believer. That's what It's sent for.

L-77   If his prophecy is true, if the prophet's prophecy is true and comes to pass, then it is the warning of God. Now in Numbers 12:6, we find the same thing, the Scripture.

L-78 The Bible was written by these man. Now if we read in Second Peter 1:21, It said, "Man of old, moved by the Holy Ghost, wrote the Bible."

L-79 Also in Hebrews 1:1, where we spoke the other night, "God, in sundry times and divers manners spake to the fathers through the prophets, this last days through Jesus Christ, His Son."

L-80   The Pillar of Fire, the sign; the voice... or the--the voice was going to speak. The Pillar of Fire in the bush, was a noted voice that God was fixing to speak.

L-81 Notice clearly now, don't miss this. When Miriam had laughed at her brother, Moses, and she was a prophetess when she laughed at him, and God came down in that Pillar of Fire, Moses knowed that God was ready to speak. It was a sign. And the voice that followed it, said, "Don't you fear God?" Said, "There is none in the land like My servant, Moses."

L-82 Done the same when they raised up and said there's... When Dathan raised up, and when Korah, the gainsaying of him, "There is more holy man than you. You think you're the only one in the bunch." God had ordained Moses to that job!

L-83 And when they wanted to get another bunch to go with them, make themself an organization, He said, "Separate yourself from them. I'll just condemn them. I'll just consume them," and He did. The world got them.

L-84   Now we find that that's always been God's way. The Pillar of Fire indicates the Voice is fixing to speak. Oh, Texas, how blind can you get? You still remember Houston. Now there is a Voice follows the sign.

L-85 Moses, a prophet sign to Israel, promised that the Word is ready to be a vindicated.

L-86 How perfect is God's Word, in order, each time! Just even like the Urim Thummim, as I spoke of, the other night. The Urim Thummim was there, and unless that sign come on that Urim Thummim, the voice was not recognized. There has to be a sign. The sign vindicates the voice. And the voice vindicates the sign, that it comes from God. The voice of the sign is what speaks "yes" or "no." If God refused it, then the Voice speaks "no." If the sign was there, God spoke "yes." God's order never has changed. We could stay hours on that, but it never has changed.

L-87   Look, Jonah the prophet, look at that sign. He was on his road to Tarshish. Started to go to Ninevah, and took a--a road to Tarshish. Many condemned Jonah. Jonah don't deserve to be condemned. He was a prophet. "The footsteps of the righteous is ordered of the Lord," and he started on his road to Tarshish. And we try to condemn the man, but Jesus didn't.
