<TITLE>17. Par 121-129</TITLE>L-121 Now, he had the believers. The old crop had died off, the unbelievers who said, "We couldn't take it," He let every one of them perish (why?), every one of them but the believers. Who was left? Moses had been taken to Glory. And the unbelievers had perished in the wilderness, and this was their children. There were only two that crossed over, and that was the believers, Joshua and Caleb. They was the believers, they was the one who crossed over. It's the only way God can do it, is by His believing children. You believe that? All right. His believers was the one that done it. He used them to cross over with. See?

L-122   Now I want you to notice, He does it that way in every age. He does it every time by the same method, He has to take believers. And then, in order to have believers to meet that Word, He's got to predestinate it to that age. You see it? He's got to predestinate this thing to be there to meet the challenge of the age. Did it get you? Did you feel it? Did you see it? Do you understand it? That's what's happening today, He predestinated it to this, by His foreknowledge. When He predestinated, in Malachi 4, it's got to happen. When He come over and predestinates anything to happen in His Word, He had to prove His Word to be so. When He predestinates anything to happen and says it will happen, He knows that seed will be there just at that time. He predestinated a Bride, She's going to be there! Going to be a Rapture, She's going to be there! He predestinates it by His foreknowledge. See, there's nothing going to stop it.

L-123   When God told them, "Now, I give you a promise of a promised land. I told your father, Abraham, that his children would sojourn down here for four hundred years."

L-124 Now, Moses said, "I am the prophet of the Lord. Now watch and see that what I prophesy. If it comes to pass, then you'll know I'm sent of the Lord, for you know that God's already told you that. Now, now if I prophesy this and it happens, and that and it happens, and this and it happens, every time just the same, now you know I'm sent of the Lord to tell you. Now, there is a promised land, that God promised it. See? And God promised this land. Now, it's a good land, it's flowing with milk and honey. Follow me."

L-125 And as they went out into the wilderness where he was to journey, to take them in the wilderness, where, God told him to bring them back to Mount Sinai, then God came down before all Israel, with a Pillar of Fire, and confirmed that what Moses had said, it was there, proving that it was right, confirming Moses there, "Moses said that I was on this mountain, I appeared to him in the form of a burning bush. And now I got the whole mountain burning."

L-126 They said, "That! Don't let God speak, let Moses speak. We'll perish."

L-127 He said, "I--I--I won't do this no more. I'll raise them up a prophet, he'll--he'll speak to them in My Name." So that's what He does, exactly the way He works His Word.

L-128   Notice, then, those who disbelieved, after they got so close to the land that they disbelieved. Now, you that's taking notes, put down Hebrews 6, right here where it said, "Those which were once enlightened, made partakers of the Holy Ghost; seeing, they shall fall away, to renew themselves again to repentance; seeing that they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame; it's impossible for those to be saved." See, just as impossible for those to cross over in that promised land.

L-129 People come right up to the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, they'll come right up to the Word, they'll come up through all denominations, and all churches, and all catachisms, and everything, but when it comes to that Word, that crossing line, they say, "Oh, I don't know about That, my church doesn't teach It that way." I don't care what your church teaches, the Bible says It's that way. Then you say, "How do I know It's right?" He confirms it, and proves it!
