<TITLE>07. Par 58-67</TITLE>L-58 And, anyhow, God always types the spiritual by the natural. If there wasn't a Bible, I'd still know that Christianity was right, because the whole earth turns upon death, burial, and resurrection. Nature works death, burial, and resurrection.

L-59 Look at the sap out of the tree, how it's brought the leaf, and the fruit, falls; goes back into the earth for the cold winter, down beneath the sod; comes up again in spring, with new life. Each year, testifying that there is a life, there is a death, there is a resurrection.

L-60   The sun rises of a morning, a little baby just born, very weak. At seven or eight o'clock, it starts off to school. At ten or eleven o'clock, it's out of college. It's shining in its strength, from about eleven till about three, then it begins to weaken. In the evening it goes down, gets weak, an old man. Is that the end of it, it dies? No. It rises again the next morning. See?

L-61 All nature, your real true Bible that witnesses with this Bible! And that's what I'm trying to show you this morning now, through nature you'll see the Word of God, patterned to the--the Word of God, because nature is the formation of God.

L-62 Like science, they find the mechanics and the laws of nature, but they don't know what that nature is. They don't know the Life of nature. That's God. So, the mechanics without the dynamics is no good.

L-63   Now, the stalk, tassel, and shuck, notice. Hagar here represented the stalk, which was the first life that started in the promise. Sarah represents the tassel, or the pollen, comes in the tassel. Mary, the virgin, represented and produced the true spiritual Seed, to bring forth the real true stalk. Hagar and Sarah, both was by sex. But Mary, the virgin, was by the power of God's promised Word, by virgin birth. She brought forth the genuine Seed. The stalk, Hagar, the second wife, by doubt of the promise, working through a doubt, slightly.

L-64   I just hope, may God help us. I don't... I want you to see this, so bad. You cannot slightly doubt any of It. You've got to take It just as It is. It needs no interpretation. The Bible says that, "The Word of God is of no private interpretation." God don't need any of our schools to interpret His Word. When He vindicates It and makes It live, that's the interpretation of It. When God said, "Let there be light," there was light. That don't need to be interpreted. When He said, "A virgin shall conceive," she conceived. It doesn't need to be interpreted.

L-65 We don't need all this, its seminaries and things that gets men, "Well, we got the interpretation. We got the interpretation."

L-66 God Himself interpret His Own Word. He doesn't need anybody to interpret for Him. He said, "It'll happen," and it happens. He said, "In the last days, He would pour out His Spirit," He did it. I don't care what the denominations said. He did it, anyhow, 'cause He said He would do it. So, It doesn't need interpretation, for God does His Own interpretation.

L-67   And these things that you see, that seems to be mysterious to you now. If you would, you remember; your ministry, you Pentecostals, back yonder thirty or forty years ago, was just as much mystery to the--the church of the Methodist and Baptist, as This is to you today. But now find It in the Word. I'm trying to show you like you tried to show them. And then if God turns around and says It's so, in the Word, then confirms It to be so, that's God's Own interpretation. You don't need anyone to interpret for you.
