<TITLE>18. Par 140-151</TITLE>L-140 I don't care how perfect two man would walk together, there's a difference in them. Our noses is not alike. Our thumb prints are not alike. There's many things about us... Yet we can give one another a blood transfusion, even into twins, and they still are different. Then, you see, God just gets one person into that swing, and the other believes to that.

L-141   He made one man, and many man from that man. As all die in Adam, all live in Christ. He made one way of death, and they all walked into it. And He made a way of Life, and as many walks there has Life. Off of one Man, not a dozen man come dying. A dozen man didn't have to sin. One man sinned one sin. One Man paid the complete penalty. It don't need any more crawling on your knees, and saying Hail Mary's, and all these other kind of things, and paying tributes to dead people. Jesus died that the Gift of God could be free. He paid the debt completely. But you see, we want to have something else to say into It.

L-142   Watch this now. These fellows walked up there and said, "Well, you try to make yourself the only man in the bunch. You think you're the only one."

L-143 And Moses was wore out with him. He went back, said, "Father..."

L-144 He said, "Separate yourself from them. I--I--I..."

L-145 "All--all that's on God's side, come over here." And He opened up the earth and swallowed them up. Is that right? Just think of it, brother. Oh, my! Why did they not believe him? Why didn't they believe that--that--that--that this Moses was that leader, of God? Why did they want to fuss with him? Always murmur and complaining, when they seen the hand of God and moved under... And Moses... God had proved that--that Moses was His anointed Messiah. You see? And then just... See, down in their heart, they were wanting something different.

L-146   What happened to you Pentecostals? A few years ago you come out of that mess called denomination, to make yourselves Pentecost. Why did you want to go back in it again? The husk had to come. (The Grain wasn't here, yet.) See? Notice, that's just the way they did. That was in their heart. They had to do it.

L-147 Now, see, Dathan had a idea that they could all make a great religion out of it. You know, even the apostle Peter had the same idea on Mount Transfiguration. He said, "Let's build three tabernacles here; one for Moses, and one for the law, and one for the prophets, one..."

L-148 And while he was yet speaking, there was a Voice come down, said, "This is My beloved Son. Hear ye Him." That's when they looked back, they seen Jesus only. There He stood. He was the Word. That's all you have to hear, is that Word. That's Him in any age. See what the Word says for that age, and watch God anoint It, and go with It. That's all.

L-149   They followed the Pillar of Fire to the Promised Land. Those that went all the way through did, the others perished. Notice, they wanted the Word mixed with the world... caused them to error. And notice what it did to them. The Word... They missed It because they wouldn't accept the anointed Word. See, you have to have the counterfeit... First you have to have the real one, to make a counterfeit off of it. And there they had it, and God showed that He wasn't with it.

L-150   Think how perfect the Word had been made known to them, by being made vindicated to them. Everything that Moses prophesied would take place. That he had called to take them to this Promised Land. Everything that Moses prophesied happened, right there. Not a Word of It failed. What a privilege that that should have been, to know that you were walking in the wilderness... And there, after... When he told them the Message, they had to believe It first. But after he got them out of there, then God said, "I'll prove to them that I am that Pillar of Fire that you met in the wilderness."

L-151 So He said, "Gather them all together around the mountain." And He come down on the top of Mount Sinai. And God begin to thunder out.
