<TITLE>19. Par 173-183</TITLE>L-173 Why, He told, even told Moses, Hisself, "You'll be God, and Aaron will be your prophet!...?..." See? So there He come, see, He had to veil Himself, 'cause God is always behind a veil. Oh, my! Do you see It? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] God is hid from the public.

L-174 Said, "Father, I thank You, You've hid It from the wise and prudent, and revealed It to babes, to them that wants to learn." See?

L-175   God hid behind the veil. Moses veiled his face. Moses was the living Word veiled then. The people saw that Pillar of Fire, said, "Now we are satisfied." See? "Let Moses speak." See? "Don't let God speak, lest we die." Moses walked right into that Pillar of Fire. See?

L-176 And said now, He said, "Now I--I won't speak to them no more like this. I'll give them a prophet." See? And that's the way He always did it. See? Said, "Now let them go up." But this prophet has to have this Word. If he's veiled with a tradition, God never sent him. If he's veiled with the Word, God will vindicate It. God interprets His Own Word. Moses spoke Them; God interpreted Them. Amen.

L-177 Moses said, "The Lord said so!" And the Lord did just what He said. That made It right.

L-178   Now He said, "Now, Moses, you understand. The people understand now. See, I have showed you, I have vindicated you." God had veiled Himself in this prophet, to speak His Word to the people. Moses was the living God to them, the living Word of God made manifest. That's the reason his face is veiled. See?

L-179 And do you know the same thing in a genuine Christian is veiled today, to unbelievers? They see them women with long hair and things, say it's... "Look at that old model." Women twist their hair up on the back, say, "Got a flat tire, spare tire up there." See, It's all veiled. They're blind. "Oh," they say, "I got a Ph.D, L..." I don't care what you got, you're still ignorant of the Word. Exactly right. "Oh, that, that's just something minor. I..." Take the small lessons first.

L-180   How about the people who say that they are veiled in the Presence of God, and preach some church tradition? Oh, mercy, goodness! Which adds to and takes from, and everything else, by injecting their own subjects and their own thoughts, and not the Word of God, see, what kind of a veil? That's got an ecclesiastical veil. God has tore that veil wide open!

L-181 They said, "There is no such a thing as prophets. There is no such a thing, in these last days, as apostles and prophets. There is no such a thing as Divine healing. There is no such a thing as seers, anymore. There is no such a thing as Mark 16 being fulfilled. Apostolic age is done." They veiled It from the people. But God walked right out with His Holy Spirit of Fire, and rent that thing from the top to the bot-... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] God has rent the veil.

L-182   Moses was the veil, the living Word of God veiled behind human flesh. The Pillar of Fire was in Moses, of course, speaking what was to be veiled later behind skins, you see.

L-183 Now, that, the Word, the Word was brought forth, then It was written out, then It was put behind and still veiled, for God was always in that Word. Amen! He's the Word, always. He was in that Word. That's the reason that Word had to be veiled.
