<TITLE>06. Par 52-66</TITLE>L-52   I'm a typologist, certainly. I have no education. I have to look back and see what He did do. And we are taught that, "The Old Testament was a shadow of the things that is to come." So if I looked here and never had see my hand, and I seen the shadow of my hand, and I had five fingers, I'd have some good idea that when my hand got there, I had five fingers. So what happened to them was examples of how God does things, the way He does it now.

L-53 And the way He does it, He never changes from that. Each time, through the Bible, He never changes His way of doing things. Continually the same, because His first way of doing it is the perfect way. Because, He could have no other way, because He is perfect, and, He, all of His ways are perfect. Watch how He did it.

L-54   Moses was called and foreordained to take this job that he was, he had--he had taken. God...

L-55 Now, I think, if you'll excuse it... I don't say this rashel. I only say, in this platform, I--I know nothing and want to know nothing but God. Now, I think there is where our Latter Rain brethren got mixed up, see, they lay hands upon one another and make them prophets and so forth. Now, that isn't Scriptural. "Gifts and callings are without repentance." You are born whatever you are. You are, at the beginning, what you are.

L-56 Look at them Pharisees in the days gone by. They had just a little bit of light, because they could... had the law, and they lived by the law, but back down in their heart was black as it could be.

L-57   And there was a little woman, a prostitute, her furl... fore-life up here was as black as it could be, she was ill-famed, but down in her heart she was predestinated to Life.

L-58 And then when Jesus, the Word, came on the scene, those Pharisees said, "This Man is Beelzebub." What did it do? It blackened out what little light they had.

L-59 Jesus said, "You are of your father, the devil, and his works you do."

L-60 But when this little, foul woman come, and she seen the Word of God, she knowed It. She didn't live It, but she knowed It. And as soon as It spoke to her, she said, "I perceive You're a Prophet." And He... She said, "I know the Messiah will do this."
And He said, "I am He."

L-61 What did it do? It cleaned out the blackness and made it all white. Why? There was a seed laying there, a predestinated seed that was in the... It was God's thought before the foundation of the world.

L-62   There is only one form of Eternal Life. If you've got Eternal Life, then you yourself was in God's thinking before the world was created. You're an attribute of His thinking, 'cause Eternal never did begin or never can end. You're a part of God's economy, always. It's just reflecting. It's becoming now. They got one more picture to develop, that's death, then the negative becomes positive, then you're in the Bride and with Christ, as He thought. Like husband and wife, today, so (God) Christ and the Church will be the same. Now, the elected, called!
Moses was born, "a proper child." The Bible said that.

L-63 One of the prophets, Jeremiah. God said, "Before you was even formed in your mother's womb, I ordained you a prophet to the nation."

L-64 John the Baptist, why, he was identified in the Scripture. Isaiah, seven hundred and twelve years before his coming, said, "He is the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord!'" And about four hundred years before His appearing, again we find, Malachi said, "Behold I send My messenger before My face, to prepare the way before the Lord."

L-65   See, he was foreordained. And so was all those offices of God, if they are called of God.

L-66 If they're educated into it, it's only cannon fodder, see, it can't be nothing. If it's a meal ticket, then you sell your birthrights for a meal ticket, you'll compromise to go with an organization or some group. But if it's of God, you'll stand by that Word, regardless, because you were born to stand by it.
