<TITLE>23. Par 249-260</TITLE>L-249 Now you got it? All that's got it, say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Good. All right.

L-250   Notice here in Leviticus, 26 now, the order of the Scriptures. After the long period of pentecost, which ends in the calling out of the Bride, the Bride is called out by a servant. The Rejected, next, to be known to Israel, the feast of the Atonement. Notice, here is the same as in Leviticus the 16th chapter, now, when He ordered the feast of pentecost... or the feast of atonement, but in this place they are called...

L-251 Oh, how perfect! Get it, preachers. See? Don't miss it, ministers.

L-252 In this feast of pentecost, which is represented in Leviticus 23:26, or 23 and 24, is a feast of mourning, not a killing, of a feast. The feast was killed... The atonement was killed, rather. The atonement was killed. Leviticus 16, it's exactly a parallel to it. Only, in this place, it's called Israel to mourn for their sins. How perfect it is, today! It's not the rekilling of It; which, Moses symbolized, by striking the rock the second time; it didn't work. Not a killing, of a feast; but a mourning, of rejecting the Atonement. Oh, my! This will be the Trumpet; the feast, be rejected, then their Messiah made known.

L-253   Notice, they'll know their Messiah when they see Him. He is coming in power, this time, the One they looked for. He is coming in power, for the Gentile Bride, and the Jews are going to recognize Him. And then the Bible says... We just got through preaching on it here, about six months ago, or more. The Bible says, when they say, "Where did You get those wounds?" How many remembers the Message? Raise your hand. Sure, you... See? "Where'd You get those wounds?"
He said, "In the house of My friends."

L-254 Remember me preaching on the--the time when Jacob had sent the children of Israel down there to get the stuff, and the food and stuff, and how Joseph act like he didn't know them; and how all these things went on, then he made himself known? You remember? And they were so scared, they went to weeping. Same as Jacob's trouble.

L-255 And here we find the Jews under persecution; don't know where they stand now, but they're coming back.

L-256 And when they do see the Atonement appear, the Bible said, "When they seen it," they said, "they would separate one home from another, and weep for days, like a--like a family that's lost their only son. 'Where did you get those wounds?'"
He said, "In the house of My friends." See?

L-257   Remember, the Bride is already in Heaven; Joseph's wife was in the palace. And Joseph dismissed everything from around him, and he made hisself known to his brothers; you see, His Wife and children and them was in the palace when He returns back to make Hisself known to the Jews. There is the Atonement. There is your sound Trumpet. There is where they say, "Oh!" What is it? There's the Atonement. "Where's them wounds come from?" There it is.
"In the house of My friends."

L-258 Remember what Joseph's brothers said? Why, they said, "Now we'll be killed, sure enough. We did that. We did the evil like that."

L-259 He said, "No, God did this to save life." You remember the story, in Genesis? See? See? So did He do it this way, to save the life of the Gentile, the Bride. Said, "I got them in the house of My friend; but don't be angry, see, don't be afraid of yourself."

L-260   They say, "Oh, my! Did we actually miss seeing Him? Was that the Atonement, and we've missed It? O God!" And they said, "They just separate themselves, and mourn for days." What is it? The Atonement; sadness. This time, the coming of the making known, Atonement, is not the regular atonement being killed, like in Leviticus 16. But Leviticus 23 is a mourning time, of their sins. And, their sins was, they rejected It.
