<TITLE>12. Par 98-104</TITLE>L-98 And she had to be red. The color red is a--an atonement color. You know, science knows that if you take red and look through red, to red, it's white. Look through red, at red, it's white. He looks through the red Blood of the Lord Jesus, and our red sins become as white as snow; red through red.
And the heifer was killed in the evening time, by the whole congregation of Israel.
And there was put seven stripes of her blood upon the door where the whole congregation had to enter; a type of the Seven Church Ages, by the Blood.

L-99   And then her body was taken and burnt. It was burnt with the hoof, with the skin, with the intestines, with the dung. Everything was burnt, together.
And it had to be picked up by a clean man, and had to be put in a clean place outside the congregation. Therefore, if Israel could only see the type! This Word of God must not be handled by dirty hands of unbelief. It's got to be a clean man. And if he's clean, he had to come through God's Filter.
A clean man, clean hands, and had to be kept in a clean place; not a place where Jezebels, and Rickies, and everything partake; and take the communion and things, when they're running around with wives, and husbands, and all kinds of filth; going to dances and parties, and wearing bobbed hair, and shorts, and everything else, and calling themselves Christians. It's to be kept in a clean place, and handled with clean hands.

L-100 And then when Israel sinned, and recognized that they had done wrong, then they were sprinkled with the ashes of this heifer, upon them. And that was the water of separation, a purification for sin.

L-101   Notice. Here it is! And when Israel, before they could come into fellowship in the worship, they had to first pass through the waters of separation. "Justification by faith; cometh by hearing, hearing the Word."
Then they entered into the congregation under those seven stripes, the blood, to show that something died and went before them, for their sin. They were separated by hearing the Word, the waters of separation, then entered into fellowship.

L-102 The only place that God met a man was behind that order. He wouldn't meet him anywhere else. He had to come behind that order. God only met Israel in one place.
And God only meets you today in one place, and that's in Jesus Christ; and He is the Word, the waters of separation. And His Blood was shed for all Seven Church Ages. And then, by the Holy Spirit, we enter into that fellowship, which is only given to the Church. Oh, how great He is!

L-103   Also, now, we want to look at Ephesians 5:26, said, "It is the washing of the water by the Word," a waters of separation. What does It do? Then, the Filter of God is the Word. Waters of separation, "washing of the waters, of separation, by the Word," God's Filter.

L-104 Then, you can't come into Christ through a church filter. You cannot come by a denominational filter or a creed filter. There is only one Filter, that you can enter into that holy place, that's through "the washing of the water by the Word." The Word of God is a thinking man's Filter.
