<TITLE>05. Par 28-35</TITLE>L-28   Now, also, the place He has chosen for His worshipers, He claimed He would put His Name. Now let's search out and find, through the Scripture, where this place is. Surely, if God said He would put His Name in this place where He had chosen to meet the people and worship with them... or them worship Him, rather, that it's somewhere in the Bible, for it was for all ages.

L-29 And the great unchanging God cannot change. Man changes. But you can put your life upon anything that God ever said at any time, because it is Truth. It is Truth. Because, that's the only thing I can have confidence in, is the Bible. Because, man's word will fail, but God is supreme.
This year I should know more than I knowed last year. You should, too, each day. We are finite, so we gain knowledge.
But God is infinite. He is infinite. And, being infinite, He cannot gain knowledge. He is perfect, to begin with. Every decision has to be exactly right.

L-30 And the way God acted one time, He must forever act that way, or He acted wrong when He act the first time. If a man ever come to God for salvation, upon the basis that He accepted him on, it's got to be accepted on that same basis every time. That's right. If a man ever come to God for Divine healing, and God accepted him upon a certain base; the next man comes, He's got to accept him the same way, or He did wrong when He accepted the first man. God made a basis that He would meet a man on. He made a basis what He would do, how He would do it, and that was through the sacrificial blood of a lamb in the garden of Eden. God has never, no time, ever changed it.

L-31   He decided how He would save man. We've tried today to educate man into it; we tried to school them, tried to educate them, tried to denominate, tried to do all these other kinds of things; bring them in, shake them in, baptize them in, every other way there is, bring them in by letters. But still remains, the same, God meets a man under the shed Blood of the Lamb. Blood was God's way in the beginning, and Blood is God's way tonight. It's good to do penance and all these things, but salvation only comes through Blood. Blood is the only way that God chose to save man, and He cannot change it.

L-32 Job had the same thing. He knowed that he was a righteous, because he had offered the--the sacrifice that God had required of him.

L-33   Now, let us search now to see what this place is, and the place He put His Name. We're going to have to find out where He put His Name. Then, if we find out what God's Name is and where He put it, then we've got the place of worship as soon as we find that.
All these things, of course, it was shadows of things to come. All the law was foreshadowing of the things to come.

L-34 Just like, the moon is a shadow of the sun. It serves in the absence of the sun, just like the Church is to serve in the absence of the S-o-n of God. In the absence of the Son, the lesser Light, the Church, the believers, serve God and give Light in the absence of the Son. But when the sun rises, you don't see the moon no more, because it's gone down. It doesn't need its light anymore, because it only gets its light secondarily, off the sun. Now, like husband and wife, the sun and moon is, Church and Christ.

L-35 Now we find, that, these things being a shadow of Christ. Every sacrifice, feast, and everything in the Old Testament, foreshadowed Christ; just as the shadow strikes across the floor. Now here is where we're going to have to find the correct place of worship, is to go back here in the Old Testament where it was given and see what these things were.
