<TITLE>12. Par 107-117</TITLE>L-107 And then, the first thing you know, the apostle Peter got so inspired, till he said, "Let's build three tabernacles here. We'll just make three organizations out of this. We'll make three denominations: one for Moses, one for Elijah, and one for You."

L-108 While he yet spake, there came a voice out of that cloud. It said, "This is My beloved Son. I'm so pleased with Him, I'm going to smite Him for you. Hear ye Him. He's going to speak."

L-109 "He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquity." He was a Lamb, the Lamb of God, the perfect Sacrifice. There never been nobody lived like Him, never has been nobody since lived like Him. He was the perfect Masterpiece, matched God's Word exactly.

L-110   God in the beginning give His Word, a portion for this part of the time, for that part, for that part.

L-111 There is where men are so deceived and confused today. They're trying to build on something that happened forty, fifty years ago. We're... That, that was give for that age.

L-112 What good would it done Moses to come with--with Enoch's message? What good would it done Moses to come with--with Noah's message? What good would it done Jesus to come with--with Moses' message? See? And what good would it done Wesley to come with Luther's message? What good would it done the Pentecost to come with Wesley's message? See what I mean? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-113 It's all lotted out here in the Bible, and we've got to know the age and hour, and what's for us. And there is where we're failing today. We're reading everything else but the Bible. This is the day that we should be living. This is the day that God has placed us here. Let's look in the Word.

L-114   That's how they fail to see Jesus; those Pharisees, and Sadducees, Herodians. The different organizations of that day had it so fixed, and so perfectly fixed, there wasn't no way for an escape, they thought. But when He come, He absolutely... He was different from all of them thought it. He was a little, humble Fellow born in a manger, with a... supposed to be an illegitimate Child, and all these things like that.

L-115 But, yet, He come exactly the way the Scripture said He would come. And they was accustomed to what Moses said, and Moses spoke of Him. He said, "Well, if you would have knowed Moses, you would have knowed Me. Moses spake of Me." And still they couldn't see it. Just so twisted up in their traditions, until they couldn't see it. But, you see, He didn't come to reflect them organizations of that day. He didn't come to reflect sectarian religion.

L-116   He came to reflect the Father, and the Father was the Word. Amen. Now I feel real religious. He came to reflect the Father's Word. God said He would be there, and there He was, the perfect masterpiece of God's great handiwork. Oh, my! He was the perfect reflection of Him. He reflected everything that--that God had spoke of. He reflected what Adam said about Him. He reflected about all the prophets said, about all the patriarchs said. Everything that He said, He was the fulfillment of the Word. All types was fulfilled in Him. Yeah. He became Jehovah of the New Testament. He was the Old Testament Jehovah. "The Word then," which was in the Pillar of Fire, "was made manifest and dwelt among us." Jehovah of the Old Testament became Jesus of the New Testament. He was a perfect reflection of God.

L-117 Oh, if the Church today could just reflect that first Church, when the Holy Ghost fell on the Day of Pentecost! If the Christian today could reflect! We are a hybrid bunch, to what they were.
