<TITLE>20. Par 163-171</TITLE>L-163   Notice, at the evening time, God went out through the camps and seen who had believed. And He did the same thing in the days of the Great Shepherd. Notice the Great Shepherd-prophet's ministry, but notice this, to believers of His Message, but not... This evening Message, they wouldn't believe It. They wouldn't believe that He was God. They wanted to make Him a nice man. They wanted to make Him a prophet. He was a nice man, and He was a Prophet, but He was more than that. That's the common teaching today, that "He's just a good man, He was a Prophet." He was nothing short of Emmanuel! He was God manifested in Jesus Christ His Son, making Him and the Father one. That's all He could be.

L-164   Zechariah 14:7, I might say this, speaks of the evening Lights and Message again at the end time. Did you notice that? As many as followed Moses, seen the Pillar of Fire that identified him on Mount Sinai. He had testified of, and spoke of this Pillar of Fire being in a bush and had told him this Message, many of them wouldn't believe It. But as many as followed him out of Egypt (come up out of the world and crossed the sea of separation, and went into the wilderness), saw the same Pillar of Fire (that he spoke of) vindicating that shepherd-prophet to be the shepherd of the sheep. They saw It, and many of them still didn't believe It after they saw It.

L-165   Notice how, again, the never-changing God, the Great Shepherd-prophet, took them that stayed by Him and with His ministry to Mount Olive; the Great Shepherd-prophet, the One we're speaking of, Jesus. Seen and heard the Father (the same Pillar of Fire) vindicate Him, that vindicated Moses.

L-166 The same God that Moses spoke of, come over Moses and proved by a Pillar of Fire that He was Jehovah that was leading Moses. God was in His shepherd-prophet.

L-167 Here He takes the other shepherd-prophet, the Great Prophet, the Real Sheep, Jesus, and takes the choice of three man, and takes them up on top of Mount Olives, and there a-vindicated Jesus. And even ex-commuted Himself from all other people, said, "This is My beloved Son, hear ye Him!" And when they looked up, they saw no man save Jesus only. That's right. He was the One. Now, that settles it, as far as I'm concerned. See?

L-168   [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... The Shekinah [Blank.spot.on.tape.] face. Moses was in the presence of the Shekinah on Mount Sinai. It changed his face. When he come down, he had to--to put a veil over his face, the shepherd-prophet Moses; who Jehovah was in, in a portion, just a portion, his face. He had the Word in his mouth.

L-169 But notice when the Great Shepherd was in the presence of the Shekinah. What did it do? It changed His whole countenance. He wasn't just part of God, He was all of God! He was Emmanuel.
Why did it have to be shepherds?

L-170   Look! See, now, God Almighty patrolleth... portraying Himself, rather, in Moses the shepherd-prophet. Watch how God made Hisself known. (This is my last remark.) See Him standing anointed in the presence of the Pillar of Fire! Nobody on the mountain at all but Moses and Jehovah. Amen! Amen means "so be it."

L-171 Watch! "Put thy hand in thy bosom!" But, watch this second sign now with a voice. "Put thy hand into the bosom." We have no reason to believe that Moses was left-handed, so he must have put his right hand into his bosom, 'cause most man are right-handed. He put his right hand... Now watch! What a picture we see here, of Jehovah in Moses the shepherd-prophet! Moses representing God, 'cause God was in Moses. Watch him put his... "Hand in thy bosom." What a sign!
