It is good to be with you. I was just thinking as Brother
Tom was leading, Brother Roland was reading, turn with me to
Deuteronomy 33. What a joy to be with God's people. To be able to come and just fellowship. Kindred spirit, your heart just
rejoices. You're just thankful that you're
here, that you want to be here. I'd like to look at Deuteronomy
33, verses 1 to 3. The scripture says, and this
is the blessing wherewith Moses, the man of God, blessed the children
of Israel before his death. And he said, The Lord came from
Sinai, rose up from Seir unto them. He shined forth from Mount
Paran. And he came with ten thousands
of saints. From his right hand went a fiery
law for them. Yea, he loved the people. All his saints are in thy hand. And they sat down. at thy feet,
every one shall receive of thy words." Moses is soon to die. I was thinking back on what we
know about Moses. You read the account of God's
deliverance for Moses as an infant. Pharaoh was going to have all
these boys killed, and his mama kept him, hid him. You read in the scriptures, you
thought there's no way in the world she could hide him that
long and they don't know, but God kept him. Put him in a little
basket, put him out in the river, you know. Pharaoh's daughter
comes along and sees him. Gets him out of the water, brings
him into Pharaoh's court. Forty years he was in Egypt. Scripture says in Acts 7.23,
for the sake of time, I won't read all this, but I had to tell
him, Brother Tom, I knew these numbers. I knew them, but I wanted
to see them in Scripture, you know. Acts 7.23 says he was 40 years
old when he left Egypt. He killed that Egyptian because
that Egyptian was abusing Hebrew. And, you know, the next day he
came and saw a couple of Hebrew squabbling and he spoke to them. They said, well, are you going
to kill us like you killed the Egyptian yesterday? And he left,
40 years old. Went into the desert. Scripture
says he was 80 years old, been in the desert 40 years. And he was tending Jethro, his
father-in-law's sheep. He came and God called to him
out of a burning bush. And Moses turned to go and look
at this. And God spoke to him out of the
bush and said, Moses, Moses, take off your shoes because where
you're standing is holy ground. He was 80 years old. And God
commissioned him to go and go into Egypt. I want you to go
and you tell Pharaoh, let my people go. He was 80 years old. And he went just exactly the
way the Lord instructed him to go. As the Lord released Israel,
after sending all those plagues, he kept telling Moses, he said,
Pharaoh is going to harden his heart, and the Lord hardened
his heart. He wouldn't let the people go. After the 10th plague,
the Lord told Moses, he said, He'll let them go. You're going
out. You're going out tomorrow. And
so they did. Went into the desert, into the
wilderness. Forty years he was in the wilderness. And now Moses is a hundred and
twenty years old. That's what Deuteronomy 34, 7
says. A hundred and twenty years old. And now he's come to the end
of his life. He's not going to be able to
go into the Promised Land. The people were thirsty, murmured,
and God told Moses, He said, I want you to go and you strike
the rock. When I read that account, and
the Lord, God said, I'm going to stand on that rock. You strike
it. I just, I just, I just say that. God was there. He said, you strike
the rock, I'm gonna be standing there. I just, arrest me, I just,
you know. People murmured. The Lord told
him, he said, now you speak to the rock this next time. Moses,
angry, struck the rock again. You know, by one sacrifice, he
hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. Don't strike
him twice. One time. You speak to him. Moses
struck the rock the second time and God told him, He said, you're
not going to go into the Promised Land. You see it, I'll show it
to you, but you're not going in. And now he's at the end of
his life. And by the direction of God's
Spirit, all Scripture is given by inspiration of God. And it's
profitable. Profitable correction, reproof,
instruction in righteousness. And now, under the inspiration
of God's Spirit, Moses is going to pronounce what God Almighty
has said is the blessing. Moses is going to mouth it. He's
the mouthpiece. He's the voice. This is the blessing
wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel
before his death." You know it is a miracle of God's grace that
Almighty God will speak. Now Moses is going to speak God's
blessing. He is going to say what God has
to say to the people. David is what David said in Psalm
28, verse 1, concerning the Lord speaking, let's say as not speaking. Listen to Psalm 28, unto thee
will I cry, O Lord my rock, be not silent to me lest if thou
be silent to me I become like them that go down into the pit. The Lord is pleased to speak
to His people. Now whenever we see that Moses
is going to bless the children of Israel before his death what
he has to say is what God has to say. And God is not silent. When the Lord's pleased to send
a pastor, he sent that pastor to reveal his love to the people. Listen to Jeremiah. You've read
this, Jeremiah 3. A lot of times I'll quote Jeremiah
3, 15. You know, I'll give you pastors
after my heart. But I want you to listen to verse
14, just before. Jeremiah 3, verse 14. Turn, O backsliding children,
saith the Lord, for I am married unto you. And I will take you
one of a city and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion,
and I'll give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed
you with knowledge and understanding." Whenever the Lord is pleased
to speak to a people, you know what He's going to do? He's going
to send them a preacher. That's what He's going to do. You realize
the blessing in Pikeville, Kentucky, that God would raise up a pastor,
give a man a heart, that wants to be here, wants to study, wants
to be prepared. Oh, how tender, tender the heart
of God's ministers toward God's people. They watch for your souls. Remember that. Pray for your
pastor. God's made him, you know, an
overseer. Pray for him. And then Moses
began to speak in verse two, and he said, the Lord came. Now, you know, before I go to
another word, here again, what a blessing. The Lord came. The Lord came. You just said
where two or three are gathered together in my name. And I said
before, I think I said it here. Surely I'm convinced there's
two or three here. And the Lord said, I'm in the midst, I'm there. So we stop and we realize the
absolute blessing of God's presence in his place. He meets with his
people. But Moses said in blessing the
people, he said, the Lord came from Sinai. Now turn to Exodus
19. Now here's the blessing. Now this is the blessing. Exodus
19, verse 18 to 20. Exodus 19, verses 18 to 20. And Mount Sinai was altogether
on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire, and
the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace. And the
whole mount quaked greatly. And when the voice of the trumpet
sounded long and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake. And
God answered him by a voice. And the Lord came down upon Mount
Sinai on the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses up
to the top of the mountain. And Moses went up." Now, what
a blessing. God was not silent. He gave His people His law. You know, a lot of times we speak
of the Law. Now, by the works of the Law
shall no flesh be justified. But brethren, the problem is
not with the Law. The problem is right here. I'm the
problem, but the blessing that Almighty God would give and set
forth, His righteousness. The Law is the expression of
the character of Almighty God. But let me tell you the blessing
also, is the law reveals my inability. Now there's a blessing. You take
a man or woman, unregenerate, unregenerate. You know what they
think? They think that they can, by the deeds of the law, be justified
before God. Good master, what must I do to
inherit eternal life? What sayeth the scriptures? Well,
honor your father and mother. He said, I've kept all of these
from my youth up. All of these I've kept from my
youth up. Paul, the apostle, said after
he was converted, Romans 7, 9, for I was alive without the law
once. But when the commandment came,
sin revived, and I died. I realized my inability. Let the Spirit of God bless to
the heart that new heart. God's going to show a man what
he's incapable of doing. Keeping the law? No. The Scripture
sets forth that Almighty God, in blessing His people, gave
them His law, showed them themselves. them their need of Him. And the
Scripture says in the latter part of that second verse, He
came with ten thousands of saints from His right hand when a fiery
law for them, them. Acts, Acts 7, turn to Acts 7,
51 to 53. Acts 7, verse 51, Stephen is preaching here just
before he's stoned. He said, You stiff-necked and
uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy
Ghost, as your fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets
have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them which
showed before the coming of the just one, whom ye have been now
the betrayers and murderers, who have received the law by
the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. Now, I looked
up that word disposition, and here's the meaning of that word,
instrumentality. That's what it means, instrumentality.
Galatians 3.19 says this, Galatians 3.19. Wherefore then serveth the law.
It was added because of transgressions till the seed should come to
whom the promise was made. And it was ordained by angels
in the hand of a mediator." That word ordained there actually
comes from the same root word, instrumentality. Now this is
what I can safely say about the tens of thousands of saints,
the angels that were there. The Scripture bears out that
the angels were present, mysteriously, in the giving of the law. Not
that they ordained it, that they were the source of it, but they
were there. Mr. Gill said this concerning
them, that they were not the ones that were ordering things. Almighty God was ordering things,
but the very presence of the angels, and that's how much I
can safely say. And outside of that, Brother
Tom, I'm not going any farther. You may be able to shed some
light on that one. I'll let you do it. So back in
Deuteronomy 33, and he said, the Lord came from Sinai, and
then it says, and rose up from seer unto them." Now, the blessing,
the first blessing that I saw when God gave the law, He gave
them the law, the demand of righteousness. Who can keep the law? One. Whoever
kept the law. One. One. One. This is my beloved
son whom I'm well pleased. I can't keep the law. Nobody
here can keep the law. But Almighty God blessed him
in giving him the law, showing him his demand. but showing us
our inability, disobedience. But listen to this. It says,
"...and rose up from Seir unto them." Now, Seir, I found out,
was located in Edom. Now, I want you to turn to Numbers
21. Numbers 21. He rose up and eat them. Now
you know a lot of times you read these words, you know, he was
in Sinai and then he rose up in Seir and he was in Paran and
stuff. And we just read those words
like we just read them. They were just words, just cities. But Moses is blessing the people
of God before he dies. He told them, he said, this is
the blessing. This is God's blessing to you.
He came and Sinai gave His law. Well what is Seir? What happened
in Seir? Numbers 21 verses 4-8, And they
journeyed from Mount Har by the way of Red Sea to compass the
land of Edom. That's where Seir is. And the soul of the people was
much discouraged because of the way. And the people spake against
God. And guess Moses, wherefore have ye brought us up out of
Egypt to die in the wilderness? there is no bread, neither is
there any water, and our soul loatheth this light bread. And the Lord sent fiery serpents
among the people, and they bit the people, and much people of
Israel died. Therefore the people came to
Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the
Lord, and against thee. Pray unto the Lord that he take
away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people,
and the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, set
it upon a pole, it shall come to pass that every one that is
bitten when he looketh upon it shall live." Now, the Lord, the
scripture says, He came from Sinai and rose up from seer. It rose up, that word rose up,
irridated, shined. made himself magnificently known. What was the blessing in it?
Here it is, Bob. He came to Sinai and told them
what the demand was, showed them their inability. And now here
in Seir, what are they doing? They're coming around to eat
them, around in Seir. And what's happening is they're
murmuring against God and against Moses. And here's the wages of
their sin, death. Death. Do I have any hope? Yeah. I want you to take a piece of
brass and you form it in the shape of a serpent. You make
a serpent. That's what's biting. That's
the problem with serpents. There's a picture of sin. That's
what's killing them. And our Lord was made sin. He hath made him sin, who knew
no sin. And here's the mercy of all.
Here's the blessing. He said, you raise up that serpent,
that brazen serpent, whoever looks, live. And the Lord said
in John 3.14, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. Almighty God set forth
in blessing. Here's Moses' blessing, the mouthpiece
of God. Here's the blessing. You're a
sinner. Here's the remedy, Christ crucified. Look unto me, look unto me. And then the scripture says,
and then he went from Mount Paran, Mount Paran. Now this was the
place, I want you to turn to Numbers 10, Numbers chapter 10. Numbers 10, this is what he did. Numbers 10, the scripture says,
verses 11 to 13. Numbers 10, 11, came to pass
on the 20th day of the second month in the second year. They've
been in the wilderness now a little over a year. that the cloud was
taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony, and the children
of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai,
and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. And they first took
their journey according to the commandment of the Lord by the
hand of Moses." So this is the place after about a year. They've been in the wilderness,
and they were led by God To start, in this place, the cloud moved
and brought them to this place. They were going to Canaan. But
let me tell you something else about this place, Paran. This
was the place from which the spies were sent. Look at, just
turn over a couple pages, Numbers 12. Numbers 12, this is where
the spies were sent into Canaan to spy out the land. Numbers
12, verse 16 through chapter 13 and verse 3. And afterward,
the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness
of Paran. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Send thou
men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give
unto the children of Israel, of every tribe, their fathers,
saith, Ye send a man, every one a ruler among them. And Moses,
by the commandment of the Lord, sent them from the wilderness
of Paran. All those men were heads of the
children of Israel." And it gives all the names of who went. But look in verse 16, these are
the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And
Moses called Oshiah, Joshua, the son of Nun, Jehoshua. Now here was some spies that
were sent into the land of Canaan. Out of all those men that went
into the land of Canaan, two of them, Joshua and Caleb, came
back and said, God's given us this. All the rest of them said,
no, we can't do it. Can't do it. Oh, they're just
too big. They're just too big. We're just grasshoppers. Oh,
they brought back, I mean, magnificent things from that place. It was
a wonderful, wonderful place. God has given us this, Joshua
and Caleb. God's given us this. The other
says, no, he can't. You're not going in. Joshua and Caleb were the only
two that were able to go back, go into the land of Canaan. Here's
the blessing back in Deuteronomy 13, 33, I'm sorry. The Lord came from Sinai, gave
the law, told them and set forth His demand for righteousness
and told them their inability. He rose up, He shined forth,
the glory of their only hope Raising up of a brazen servant.
Picture of the Lord Jesus Christ here. Made what they are by nature. Made sin. And then he said, he
shined forth from Mount Paran. You know what? The just are going
to live by faith. God said, I'm going to give you
that land. That's your land. Joshua and Caleb said, God gave
us the land. It's ours. We can take it, doesn't
it? It ain't going to happen. It ain't going to happen. Without
faith, it's impossible to please God. What a blessing. It's what Moses said. Our God
is God. God Almighty. But then look in
verse 3. Here's verse 3. Now from right
here, these are the particulars. There's four marks of a believer
right here. Here's the blessing that was
set forth in verse 2 and now four marks of a believer. Verse
3. Yay. Yes, is what this means. Amen. Whenever Almighty God gives a
yay and an amen, write it down. It's so. It's so. Yay. He loved the people. There's a mark of a believer.
What is a believer? He's a beloved. child. He's a beloved son. This love wherewith God loves
his people. When did that love begin? It never began. I can't even
get a hold of that, Tom. It never began. Listen, Jeremiah
31.3, I have loved thee with an everlasting
love. At what point was God not? He's the eternal God. At what
point then did God not love? He never changes. At what point
did love begin? It never began. He said, I've
always loved you. He told Jeremiah, before I formed
you in the belly, I knew you. I mean, we began to think on
these scriptures like this, and I think these things are too
high for me. I can't grasp. Lord, as you say it is, it is. Who are these objects of His
affection here? The Beloved. the beloved. And it's a distinguishing, look
at Exodus 11.4, Exodus 11.4. This is a distinguishing love. Does God love everybody? No,
no. Malachi says, I've loved you,
saith the Lord, yet you say wherein or how or what way. hast thou loved us? And the Lord's
answer was not Esau Jacob's brother, saith the Lord, yet I love Jacob. What, what was different from
Jacob and Esau? What was the difference between
Jacob and Esau? Well, in themselves, nothing,
nothing, nothing. They were, they were twin brothers. Came from the same mama, same
daddy, Does the Lord have the right to make out of the same
lump one vessel of honor worth the cost? Look up the word honor,
worth the cost. Another, and a dishonor. Does
God have a right to do that? Yes, He does. Who art thou, old
man, that replies against God? This is a distinguishing, look
at Exodus 11. verse 4 to 7, And Moses said,
Thus saith the Lord, About midnight will I go out into the midst
of Egypt. And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die,
from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne,
even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the
mill. all the firstborn of beasts. There shall be a great cry throughout
all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall
it be like it any more. But against any of the children
of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue. Against man or beast,
that you may know how the Lord doth put a difference between
the Egyptians and Israel." What was the difference between the
Egyptians and Israel? The grace of God. That was it.
That's the only difference. The scripture says, Yea, He loved
the people. And it's an eternal love. Romans
8, 33 sets forth this truth. Who shall lay anything to the
charge of God's elect? It's God that justifieth. Who
is He that condemneth? It's Christ that died, yea, rather
that's risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who
also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us? from
the love of Christ, or tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword, as it is written, For
thy sake we are killed all the day long. We are counted as sheep
for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I'm persuaded
that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height,
nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us
from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Here's
a marvelous comfort to me. I know something of what I am. Paul says, oh, wretched man that
I am, I know something of that. I don't know the depth of my
rebellion, but I can tell you this, based on his word, who
shall separate us from the love of God that's in Christ Jesus,
who? Oh, what a mark, what a mark. Yea, he loved the people. Here's the second mark. All his
saints are in thy hand. Brother Tom and I was talking
about this. Turn to Psalm 95, 7. We were talking about he brought
this up and I thought that was so good, I wrote it in, Tom. Wrote it in my notes. Psalm 95,
verse 7. The scripture says, for he is
our God. And we are the people of his
pasture and the sheep of his hand. Today, if you will hear
his voice, harden not your heart as in the provocation and as
in the day of temptation in the wilderness. We are the sheep
of his hand. We're in his hand. I heard Brother
Henry say one time, somebody told him, he said, well, what
you're saying is just going to be a handful saved. He said,
yeah, but it just depends on whose hand we're talking about,
you know, with the sheep of His hand. In His hand, we're secured. Now, here's the blessing. We
are in the hand of Almighty God. John 10, again, we read these
scriptures, as I said a moment ago, John 10, 27. And as we read these scriptures,
and they're so familiar that as we read them, we almost pass
over them. We've read it so many times.
You quote Ephesians 1, 4. It's just so easily quoted. But if we could just stop and
muse upon it, and God give us some understanding on it. John
10, verse 27, My sheep, hear my voice. And I know them,
and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal
life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them
out of my hand." Based on that word right there, His sheep are secure. Based on that word, His sheep
are secure. My Father, which gave them me,
is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of
my Father's hand. I and my Father are one in the
hand of Almighty God, who is able to rest or tear away His
child, one of His choosing. Who could tear away his bride
from him? I'll tell you this, I'm not gonna
be so foolish, but I would confidently say, if somebody was trying to
get my wife, and you may kill me, but you'll have to, you'll
have to, because I'm not gonna take it just lying down. Let
me ask you this, who is gonna take out of the hand of God Almighty
out of the hand of God Almighty. Almighty God, there is no God
but me. Omnipotence, all power is given
unto the Son. As thou hast given him power
over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many
as thou hast given me. Now let me ask you this, who
is gonna take from him who is all power, You know, I heard Brother Henry
say, we just have way too many fears and doubts. We realize
for a moment that we're being kept by the power of God through
faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. David said concerning the Lord's
hand, Here's what he is, all his saints are in thy hand. David said in Psalm 31 15, my
times, that is all the issues of my life, everything, everything. What was the Lord's will for
me today? What was the Lord's will for
you today? Whatever came to pass. He worketh all things after the
counsel of his own will. He worketh all things. But whatever
comes, David said, my times are in thy hand. Deliver me from
the hand of my enemies and from them that persecute me. Isaiah
49, 15. Isaiah 49, 15, the scripture
sets forth. Can a mother forget her sucking
child that she should not have compassion on the son of her
womb? Could she do that? Well, the
Lord says, yes. They may forget. You know, you
think, I just can't even imagine. The Lord said, yeah. Yeah, mother,
her child, yeah, yeah. He said, yet will I not forget
thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon
the palms of my hands. Thy walls are continually before
me. Here's the blessing. Yea, he
loved the people. And all his saints are in thy
hand. And here's the third. And they
sat down at thy feet. Those humbled by God Almighty,
they want to just hear what God has to say. This is what, don't
tell me what you think. I'm going through Revelation.
I went through Revelation twice a few years ago, and I told the
folks this. I said, here's what I'm going
to do. I said, there's a lot of posters and signs and thoughts
and this, that, and the other on the book of Revelation. It's
all about, you know, they say this, that, and the other. And
I said, here's what we're going to do. I said, everybody's got an
opinion. But I said, the only thing that
I want to know is what does God have to say about it? Now this
is it. What does the Lord have to say?
They sat down at his feet. There was, in Luke 10, the scripture
says that the Lord Luke 10.38 says, came to pass as they went
that he, the Lord, entered into a certain village. And a certain
woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a
sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet and heard
His word. Now this, what a blessing. That
somebody would want to just sit down and be quiet and listen. Just tell me one more time how
the Lord's put away my guilt. Tell me one more time. I've heard
that before. Tell me one more time. Tell me
about He who says, I'll never leave you. I will never leave
you. I'll never forsake you. Never. But Martha was cumbered
about much serving, and came to him and said, Lord, dost thou
not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her
therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto
her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many
things. But listen to this now. But one
thing is needful. one thing is needful. Now that
right there ought to arrest us. Right there. One thing is needful.
And Mary hath chosen that good part. What was she doing? Well,
the scriptures say, here's what she was doing. It says that Martha
had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet and heard
His Word. Now let me tell you one thing
that's needful. Hear the Word of God. Hear God's Word. One thing is
needful, Mary has chosen that good part which shall not be
taken from her. If there's one thing that I could
encourage all of us to do, let us sit and hear what God has
to say. Just sit, that is a blessing
that a man or a woman, that's the evidence of life, that I'm
satisfied, I'm satisfied just to sit down and be quiet and
listen. In Mark 5, Mark chapter 5, verse
1 to 4. There was an incident that happened,
Mark 5. They came over onto the other
side of the sea into the country of the Gadarenes. And when He
was come out of the ship, immediately there met Him out of the tombs,
a man with an unclean spirit who had His dwelling among the
tombs. And no man could bind Him, no, not with chains, because
that He had been bound with fetters and chains. And the chains had
been plucked asunder by Him. and the fetters broken in pieces,
neither could any man tame him." Well, you know what happened.
The Lord spoke to the demon, you know, what's your name? Legion,
come out of him. Can we go into those pigs over
there? Yes, you can. I give you permission to do so.
When hogs went out and drowned themselves. But look at verse
15. Here's what happened after the
Lord delivered that man. Verse 15, they come to Jesus
and see him that was possessed with the devil and had the legion. Here's what he's doing. He's
sitting. He's chosen that good thing.
He's clothed. Oh, I just, you know, spiritually
speaking, you know, here's the sign of a believer. He's robed
in the righteousness of Christ. And listen to this. He's in his
right mind. I'm gonna give you a new heart.
I'm gonna put a new spirit in you. Born from above, he's in
his right mind, and they were afraid. Here was a man that was
now satisfied just to sit and hear what the Lord had to say.
Lord, my sheep, hear my voice. He loved the people. All his
saints are in his hand. They sat down at his feet. And
here's the last one. And everyone shall receive of
thy word. We're needy people. We're needy people. We're ignorant
of things that truly matter, eternal things. We're ignorant.
But God's people are taught people. He said, everyone shall receive
of thy words. John 6.45 says, For thou hast
magnified thy word above all thy name. Here's what they're
going to, all of them are going to be taught. God. They shall all be taught of God.
They shall all be, everyone shall receive of thy words. What a blessing that God would
send his Word anywhere, anywhere. But where God Almighty has been
pleased to raise up a people, I tell you what he's going to
reveal to them, that he loves them. that they're in his hand. They're taught, they're taught
of God, kept by the power of God through faith. He said, heaven and earth gonna
pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Every one of them is gonna receive
his words. They're gonna learn of Christ. All right.
