<TITLE>17. Par 157-164</TITLE>L-157   They spiritually die now. This is a spiritual veil. See? That was a natural veil. This is spiritual veil. See? They keep walking right on in behind there, you can tell them. "Oh, I know! I know that, but I..." See, go ahead, it's all right, it only speaks... You remember, the last plague in Egypt was death, before the exodus. The last plague on earth is spiritual death, before the exodus. Then they'll be cremated and turned back to the dust, and the righteous will walk out upon their ashes. But the last thing is spiritual death, rejecting the Word.

L-158   Now notice, God warned any persons not to try to follow Moses into the veil of Fire. Moses was to be veiled, he had to come out of there. Moses went in as Moses, went into this Pillar of Fire; and when he walked back out, he was veiled. For, he went into There, out of his traditions, the traditions of the elders. He had saw the Pillar of Fire, but now he goes into the Pillar of Fire. See? Amen! And he come forth, veiled. God's Word in a man, veiled! Here he come walking out, oh, my, I can see it. Warned nobody else to try it, nobody can impersonate That. You better not. See? Even a priest or a holy man, whoever it was, cardinal, bishop, anything else, trying to go in that veil, died. God warned them. We'll have no impersonations.

L-159   His Word is revealed to one. It's always been, a prophet came with the Word of the Lord, each age, every time, down through the Scripture. The Word comes to one. In every age, the same, even in the church ages, from the very first to the last. Others have their places, that's right, notice, but stay away from that Pillar of Fire. See? What a lesson we learn here! See, everybody wanting to be a Moses, and everybody...

L-160   You remember what Dathan and them said out there? They said, "Now, Moses, wait here just a minute! You take too much upon yourself, see. Now, there is other man here that God has called."

L-161 That is true. They, each one, were following fine as long as they went along, but when one tried to step up and take God's position that He give Moses, which was predestinated and ordained to that job, tried to take it, fire come down and opened up the earth and swallowed them right into it. See? See? Be careful. See? Just be a good, God's godly Christian, believing the Word. See? Stay away from that Pillar. What a lesson!

L-162   God had first appeared to Moses in a burning bush, God was veiled in the Pillar of Fire. Now listen real close now for a minute. God, first come to Moses, He was veiled. God was in a Pillar of Fire, hid back in a bush, see; like behind the skins, see, back by the mercy seat at the altar. See? He was veiled. He is always veiled. And when He come to Moses, He was in a Pillar of Fire, veiled in the Pillar of Fire. But here, before the people, God vindicated him by the same Pillar of Fire. See? Moses said...

L-163   Now watch. Are you reading? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Are you letting your minds drift way out? Can you? Can... "He who has got ears, let him hear." See?

L-164 When God appeared to Moses, it was in a Pillar of Fire, when He called him to his ministry. And Moses come and told the people about it. They couldn't believe it, yet he done the miracles and things. But, this time, He visibly, scientifically appeared and vindicated Moses' ministry to be the same God that spoke to him, 'cause He appeared in the form of the Pillar of Fire and set the mountain on fire. And It come to Moses in a bush, spoke to him. All right.
