<TITLE>13. Par 92-99</TITLE>L-92   The first time Angels ever sang at a celebration, it was in Heaven. If you'll look in Job 38:7, (as I see some of you taking notes), when God first planned on making His first creation, the earth. Job was a great, smart man, and he had all kinds of wisdom. He said, "When I go up to the markets, the young princes, they all bow before me, and just want a moment of my wisdom." And he couldn't figure out why he had to be treated the way he was.

L-93 And so God asked him, said, "Gird yourself up like a man, because I'm coming down to talk to you." And when God came down in a whirlwind, He said, "Job, where was you before I laid the foundations of the earth? When the morning stars sang together, and the sons of God shouted for joy, where were you then, Job?" And he was deflated at that time. "Where was you?"

L-94 See, the first time Angels ever sang at a celebration, was in Heaven. But the first time they ever sang on earth, was to shepherds at the birth of God, Emmanuel on earth; first human beings ever heard an Angel sing, was humble shepherds.

L-95   When we take our painted-faced women, bobbed hair, wearing shorts, and swing some kind of a church robe around them, and stand them up and sing like something, and then we think that God has to listen to that? He's got Angels back yonder who can entertain Him since the... before He ever made a human being. Uh-huh. Get out and live... and wear clothes that's an abomination to God, and how can you expect that to be of God? You say, "Well, I belong to..."

L-96 "Where was you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me where I fastened them to. Where is the axle that they turn on? Where were you then?" You think God has to ask us for some of our wisdom. Our wisdom's only foolish to Him. He does what He says He will do.

L-97   Now notice, God is fixing to make another creation. He creating mortal earth, mortal life. Angels sing in Heaven. But here He's creating a new Life, Eternal Life for man, and He's singing to His subjects through Angels; on the earth, not in Heaven. Heaven had Eternal Life. See? And He sang... they sang to the Heavens, when the mortal creation come in; and here the immortal creation is coming in, and now they're singing to earthly people. The first time, to shepherds. Striking, isn't it?

L-98   He had started a new creation. What was it? A creation of Himself. God was made flesh and dwelt among us. That's... The Bible said, "In the beginning of the creation of God." God was created in human form; in Jesus Christ, His Son, God dwelt. He built His tabernacle of flesh and bones, and lived in that tabernacle; God, Emmanuel, "God with us." He built Himself a house, to live in it, so He could reflect His Word to His subjects through that. You know what God is, when you see Christ.

L-99   Remember, there is always singing at the birth of a king. How many knowed that? Of course, you did. Well, now, do you think if this King would've been borned down there, a woman would've come running into the cathedral somewhere, and said, "Make a bed ready right quick, and get the doctors, because I'm going to bring Emmanuel to the earth"? A poor woman out of Nazareth, the lowest city, the... meaner than Tucson or any of the rest of them, and yet this little woman comes running up there to the great high priest and said, "I--I'm fixing to give birth to Emmanuel." They'd a-throwed her in jail. They sure would. They certainly would. Of such a heresy as that to be brought amongst his people, he wouldn't have stood for it. Neither would he today. But just the same it's happening, just the same.
