<TITLE>03. Par 22-30</TITLE>L-22   God gives signs, Scriptural signs, Scripture signs of a voice. Remember when Moses... What's a sign given for? Is to attract attention. A sign is to attract attention. Then if the sign doesn't have any voice, then the sign is not right. And if the sign gives the same old ecclesiastical voice, that sign isn't from God, if that voice hasn't got a change. And that change must be Scriptural sign, must be Scriptural voice.

L-23 Say, for instance, his denominational voice followed a certain sign; God never sent that. We've had denomination all these years. It's got to be something different. It's got to be THUS SAITH THE LORD in the Scripture. God's got to promise it by the Word, and then a sign is to attract the people's attention to it. And then the voice follows the sign, that's the doctrine goes with it.

L-24   Jesus was a well-thought-of Man. He was a young rabbi, the prophet of Galilee. He, when He was healing the sick, and so forth, He was a great Man. But one day, He sit down, He begin to talk and tell them, "I and the Father are one." That was the voice that followed it. Oh, no, they didn't want that. They was ready for the sign, but the voice they didn't want. "When you see the Son of man ascending up from where He come from," they couldn't see that at all. See? But when the voice begin to follow the sign, they didn't want nothing to do with it. Always a sign and a voice!

L-25   Reason Moses took off his shoes, the sign attracted his attention. He looked over there and he saw that, that tree on fire.

L-26 Now, he was a chemist. He was a great scientist. He was taught in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. And they done things that we can't do today, in science; build a pyramid, sphinxes, have embalming fluid that we don't have, coloring that we don't have. It was greater civilization than, and more educated, than we are today. And Moses was a master over them. And when he saw that tree burning, with not burning down, no doubt but what he said, my, in his heart he might have said, "I'll go over and pick a few of those leaves and take them down to the laboratory, and see what chemical they're sprayed with." If he'd have done that, the voice would have never talked to him.

L-27   You can't figure God out. You've got to sit down by the side of Him and talk it over. Take off your shoes, as it were, lay down your education. Look straight into His Word, and say, "I don't care what anyone else says. You has promised it here for this day, and it's the Truth." Moses took off his shoes.

L-28 Watch the voice that come from it. If it hadn't been a Scriptural voice, Moses wouldn't have believed it. The sign attracted the attention, and the sign was to attract the attention of the prophet.

L-29 A prophet, hisself, is a sign. When God sends a prophet, look out, judgment follows it; it always has, it always will. There is no way around it. And it--it goes right over the top of the people, and they never know it until it's too far. No wonder Jesus said, "You build the tombs of the prophets, and whitened, but, and you're the one that put them in there. And as your fathers did, so will you." And they did it.

L-30   Now we see coming on the scene now, we see Moses rising up here. And he seen that bush, and he drew near it. And a voice come from it, said, "Take off your shoes, for the ground on where you're standing is holy." He took off his shoes and knelt down. And He said, "I'm the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." There come a Scriptural voice. "And I remember My promise, and I see the afflictions of My people. I remember My promise, and I'm sending you down there to do it. And I'm making you as My voice.
