<TITLE>26. Par 255-265</TITLE>L-255 That's the New Testament. Is that right? "If we sin willfully after we receive the Knowledge that's been preached to you, read to you, proved to you; after we see the knowledge of the Truth, and you go ahead and unbelieve, willfully, there is no more sacrifice for sin."
But a... fearful looking... to the fiery indignation, who shall devour the adversary.

L-256 Is that right? You can cross that line. Like the children of Israel did in their journey, coming through the wilderness, Israel did the same. After they heard Moses' message and seen it vindicated; listened to a false prophet that said, "Oh, now look, children, we're all the same. We should marry one among another, and we should do this." And Moses had told them different, and seen God vindicate it. Because, Balaam seemed to be a more instructive man than Moses was, see. He had come from a great nation where there was great people, and was all organized together, the land of Moab, great armies, and great things that the people in them days would have feared. And here come a prophet down, a prophet, anointed one, false anointed one, see, come down to an anointed one (look how close), and taught the people, and many of them went after that. Don't you never forget that. See, went after the thing that wasn't the Word, the vindicated proven Word!

L-257   Don't let someone come in here and tell you something different. Watch what God is vindicating and proving.

L-258 Now if them people looked back, and say, "Moses! God appeared in the skies. And the man spoke into existence, fleas, flies, frogs; took out of existence, boils and diseases. Opened up the Red Sea, and we come... And fed us manna out of heaven. Oh, that's our prophet!"

L-259 But here come another prophet down, "Glory to God! I'm a prophet, too." Say, "Now, you all, I'll tell you. Now, now you understand, I use better grammar than Moses. And I am this way and that way, see," and so forth.

L-260 And the first thing you know, they fell for it. And every one of them perished right in the wilderness. Not a one of them lived. They never did. They won't be in Heaven, not one of them. Jesus said.

L-261 They said, "Our fathers eat manna in the wilderness!" See, Pentecostal, is right, see, they had really come through all the experiences. "And our fathers eat manna in the wilderness!"

L-262 He said, "And they are, every one, dead." Death is "Eternal separation." They'll never rise again, although they had been through all these experiences. Figurative speaking, they had spoke in tongues, and danced in the Spirit, and everything.

L-263   But when it come to the showdown between the Word between two prophets, one of them on the Word, and the other one off the Word; both of them, prophets. You understand? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] One on the Word, and the other one off the Word; both of them, prophets, proven to be prophets. But one was with the Word, see. False anointed ones in the last days, see. One... Prophets, both of them, prophets; one on the Word and one (one) vindicated by the Word, and the other one was not vindicated by the Word. Cain and Abel, again. See the two, false--false and true? All right.

L-264   But every one of them rottened in the wilderness, and perished. Their souls are dead, and gone. And they were right in the path of duty, going to church and the very things that God ordained them to do, but accepted a false teacher, who wasn't vindicated by the Word, to be proven to be right. Yet, he was the Doctor of Divinity, and whatever more you want to call about a real prophet, but wasn't proved spiritually by the Word and by the signs of God. And they perished in the wilderness; righteous, honorable, religious people, died, and will never be in Heaven.

L-265   See where we got to walk? Understand? [Congregation says, "Yes."--Ed.] Don't let it slip.
