<TITLE>12. Par 84-91</TITLE>L-84   See, they took the--the anointing of the Rose of Sharon and put it upon Aaron, he had to be anointed with that for to go in before the Lord in the holy place, in the holy veil. He had to be anointed with the Rose of Sharon, to go in to sprinkle the mercy seat each year. And that anointing must be upon him, a sweet-smelling savor unto the Lord, packing the blood of the lamb before him, after he had also been sprinkled by the lamb. Pomegranates and bells around his garments, he had to walk a certain step, playing "holy, holy, holy unto the Lord."

L-85   Notice, He is that Rose of Sharon, that sweet-smelling Savor, the Anointing upon His people. You cannot come before Him with any creed, any other thing, but anointed with that Rose of Sharon, the Word. He also is the Lily of the Valley.

L-86 Now, how do you get opium? You get opium when you take a lily and squeeze it out, you get the opium. Doctors use it in their laboratories. Take a man that's nervous and flusterated, or a woman, she feels like she's going to go crazy, she's walking the floor and screaming, she's in hysterics, a doctor will take a little of his lily opium and push it into her arm or vein somewhere, or his, and they quieten down. It's all over for a while. But just as soon as that opium dies out, here they come again, worse than they ever was.

L-87   But I'll tell you, friends, that's only a type of the genuine Opium from the Lily of the Valley that I know of. He is the Lily of the Valley. He was squeezed out on Calvary. He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed. In that, that squeezing out of the flowers, He was a Flower. He was the greatest Flower that ever growed, was this Lily of the Valley, and this great Rose of Sharon. Now He hangs tonight, spanded between Heavens and earth, I believe, He was that time, rather, to--to take away the sin of the world and to bring healing back to the world. And the Bible said that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-88   Friend, when God told Moses, in the wilderness, which was a--a type of Him, to lift up a brass serpent. And brass represents sin judged, the serpent represents, the brass serpent represents "sin already judged." As, brass is "Divine judgment," like the brazen altar where the sacrifices was laid. And also Elijah looked up and he said the skies was like brass, Divine judgment upon an unbelieving nation that had backslid from God. Brass represents judgment, Divine judgment. And the serpent represented sin already judged; and Jesus was that serpent made sin for us, and took the judgments of God upon Him. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed.

L-89 Oh, God's got His cabinet full of Opium, tonight, for you. Christian friend, you are sick and suffering. Oh, you're weary, it's just too hard for you. You can't stand it much longer, you'll--you'll go wild in this modern day that we're living.

L-90   Did you just hear Life Line tonight, that what they said, that--that Russia says, in '55, that they'll "absolutely take full control of the whole world"? Before that can happen, the Rapture has to come. So how close is it, friend? It's right here close now at hand.

L-91 Won't you seek Him tonight with all your heart? He is the Lily of the Valley, and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's here tonight to lift Himself up among His people, just like Moses lifted up the--the sin sign, judged. And not only sin, but sickness. Remember, Jesus said, "As Moses lifted up the brass serpent, so must the Son of man be lifted up." What did Moses lift it up for? For sin, unbelief, and for sickness. Jesus was lifted up, also, for sin, sickness, and unbelief. He was the same thing.
