<TITLE>12. Par 107-115</TITLE>L-107 Then Paul, (after His death, burial, and resurrection), on his road to Damascus, there was that Pillar of Fire again. What was It? Out from behind the veil! Glory to God!

L-108   He was in behind the veil. Now He was behind what? Skin veil. See, "badger skins," behind the veil. And when that veil was rent on the day of crucifixion, the veil that He was wrapped in was rent on the day of the crucifixion, the whole mercy seat came into view.

L-109 Now, the Jews could not understand how that God could have mercy upon a sinful, foul people like we are. But they couldn't see this One who was giving mercy, because He was hid. He was behind the mercy seat, on the inside, with badger skins hanging down, covering Him. Before...

L-110   Before, if any man walked in behind that veil, it was sudden death. Amen. Oh, we're going to get a lesson here in a minute, see, if you can--you can receive It. To walk behind them skins... Even one of the priest's sons tried to do it one time, and died. "Don't go behind that veil." The man that walked behind... Why? There was no redemption yet, in that. It was potentially. It was just potential. And anything potential is not the real thing yet, see, just potentially. It was redemption... Sin was covered, not omitted... remitted, rather, not remitted. Remitted is "divorce and put away." And so the blood of sheep and goats could not do that, so Jehovah was hid behind a veil. Now, back behind this veil where He was hid, to enter into that, a man dropped dead, to try to enter into It.

L-111   But since Pentecost, since the Crucifixion, when that veil was rent from the top to the bottom, for that generation... Jesus was that God, veiled. And when He died at Calvary, God sent fire and lightning, and ripped that veil from top to the bottom, that the whole mercy seat was in plain view. But they were too blind to see It. As Moses said here, though, or... Paul said, reading of Moses, "When Moses is read, yet, that veil is still on their heart." Oh, brother, sister, that's what the Jews did when the veil was rent and brought God into plain view, hanging on the cross. He was in plain view, but they couldn't see It.

L-112   Could it be possible that the Gentiles has did the same thing? O God! When they've had the church ages, of the Son of God; but when now the veil of this denominations and things, this veil of tradition that we've got since Pentecost, when the church traditions has been rent, the things that the people said, "Days of miracles is past, and these things," and God has took the veil off of It, and brought It in plain view, and they're ready to crucify It again, just exactly like.

L-113   The unveiled God, plain view, they should have seen Him standing there. Yet He was too common, He was an ordinary man. They couldn't see It. See, there stood a man. "Well," they said, "this guy, what school did He come from?" But, remember, when that spear struck His body, that Spirit left Him, the temple... the sacrifices' blocks turned over, and the lightning whipped down through the temple and rent the veil. What was it? There was their God hanging on Calvary, and they were too blind to see it.

L-114 Brought Him in open view, and still they don't see It! They are blinded. God, veiled in a human being!

L-115   You remember, He returned then to Paul after that, and to Peter in the prison, as the Pillar of Fire. Remember that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
