GENESIS 3:20-21
20 ¶ And Adam called his
wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
GENESIS 3:21
21 ¶ Unto Adam also and to his wife did the
LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
EXODUS 33:11-23
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the
camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of
the tabernacle.
EXODUS 33:12
12 ¶ And Moses said unto the LORD, See,
thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou
hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee
by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
EXODUS 33:13
13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found
grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may
know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation
[is] thy people.
EXODUS 33:14
14 And he said, My
presence shall go [with thee], and I will give thee rest.
EXODUS 33:15
15 And he said unto him, If
thy presence go not [with me], carry us not up hence.
EXODUS 33:16
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I
and thy people have found grace in thy sight? [is it]
not in that thou goest with us? so
shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that [are] upon
the face of the earth.
EXODUS 33:17

this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight,
and I know thee by name.

be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew
mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
EXODUS 33:20
20 And he said, Thou
canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
EXODUS 33:21
21 And the LORD said, Behold, [there is] a place
by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
EXODUS 33:22
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand
while I pass by:
EXODUS 33:23
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

E-10 Now, God is omnipotent, omnipresent. By
being omniscient, makes Him omnipresent; He--He knows all things. But God could
not be just like the air is, because God has a dwelling place. God is not a
myth. God is
a Being: God, Jesus. He, God, (pronoun), He is a Being. Therefore He's
omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and infinite.
Now, to be infinite, it comes through a word "infinite,"
which "there is no limit." He is Eternal. Eternal is like a ring. It
goes around and around, and you're trying to find where it began or where it
ends. There is no beginning or ending to it.
God is like a great Diamond that sets like this. And the gifts of the Spirit is the reflection of this Diamond, that
reflects rays of light off of this big Diamond. Like nine spiritual gifts in
the church, is like nine rays that the Holy Spirit is reflecting into the
church. What a Light to walk in, from the one great Diamond, God.

51 But being infinite, then He knows all
things, knowing every time a gnat bats its eye; knowed
every bumblebee, where he goes into the comb to get his honey. He knows every
sparrow that sets in the tree. He knows every thought that's in your mind,
because He is infinite and omniscient. That is, He not only is He infinite,
He's omniscient; He knows everything. But He is a Being. God is a Being, and out of
this Being begin to bring forth these.
FELLOWSHIP_ MIDDLETOWN.OH SATURDAY_
60-0611B
E-19 Now, we find out in the Old Testament, that
God had one meeting place, one meeting place. The only place He would meet with
His people was in one place, the Tabernacle. And that was under the shed blood.
The only place God met with His people, was under the shed blood. That's the
only placed He can meet with us today.
He could not meet with us as an organization. He cannot meet with
us as an intellectual group. He can only meet with us as we have fellowship, as
we come under the shed Blood of His Son, Jesus Christ. That's the only basic
place that we can meet.
Sometime ago, I was dedicating a tabernacle. They asked me to
bring the--the words back... A brother down in
Now, God's just not like your--like the air. If He would,
you would never have to seek the Holy Ghost: it would be in you, 'cause He'd
filled all space and things. God's omnipresent, sure, by being omniscient,
knowing all things. But God has a dwelling place, because He is a Being. Exactly right. And
God dwells with fellowship under the shed Blood of His Son, and that alone.
Amen. Not upon our denomination or affiliation, but upon the shed Blood we meet
God face to face.

48 Notice, those who have tonight Eternal
Life, was with Him and in Him, in His thinking, before there ever was an Angel,
star, Cherubim, or anything else. That's eternal. And if you have Eternal Life,
you always was, not your being here, but the shape and form that the infinite
God... And if He isn't infinite, He isn't God.
God has to be infinite. We're finite; He's infinite. And
He was omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. If He isn't, then He can't be
God: knows all things, all places because of His omnipresence. Omniscient makes
Him omnipresent. He is a being; He's not like the wind. He is a being; He
dwells in a house, but being omniscient, knowing all things, makes Him
omnipresent, because He knows everything that's going on. There can't be a flea
bat its eyes but what He knowed it. And He knowed it before there was a world, how many time it'd bat it's eyes and how much tallow it had in it, before there
ever was a world. That is infinite. We can't comprehend it in our minds, but
that's God--God, infinite.
WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS_ SASKATOON.SK THURSDAY_
57-0516
E-15 "Ye shall see Me."
That better? All right. Ye shall see Me. Now, if Christ has risen from the dead, and we are given
the invitation and the Scripture that He promised, that He--we could see Him,
and that we--He would be the same yesterday, today, and forever, then would you
desire to see Him? Would you? If you'd raise your hands?
Would every Christian believe it that? I--I would, with my hands up; I would
love to see Him. Well, now, how can we see Him? The way we can see Him is by
His works. Now, he hasn't come in a corporal body yet, among us. He's here in a
spiritual body (You believe that?), a spiritual body called the Holy Spirit.
He's in the form of the Holy Spirit.
In the beginning God was a Spirit. And all the fountain of
goodness and mercy and power, and all the good things of love, God was the
center of that fountain. And then the Logos that went out of God in the beginning
become what we would call a theophany, or a--a
supernatural body. God is just not like the air, but He's in a body. Moses seen
Him pass and said it looked like the back part of a man,
and so forth. And then that same theophany was made
flesh and dwelled among us. And we beheld Him, the only begotten of the Father:
Christ.
HEBREWS.CHAPTER.4_ JEFF.IN HEB
SUNDAY_ 57-0901E
142-132 As we had it the other night,
God in the beginning was Spirit. And then from God went out the Logos, or the Theophany which was a form of a man called the Son of God
(prefigured). He came in earth in a body of flesh, even before
He came in Jesus Christ. Now, swallow that one once, brother. I'll prove it to
you.
When--when Moses saw Him, he said, "Let me see Your form, Lord." And God hid him in a rock. And when
He passed by, he said it was the back part of a man. That was that Theophany. That's exactly. Then that Theophany
had to be made flesh, not another person, but the same Person had to become
flesh to take the sting out of death. Like a bee when he stings,
it leaves a stinger. And the... He never left that...
He could put a sting in human flesh because it's sin. But, brother, when he
stung that Emmanuel's flesh, he lost his stinger. Yes, sir. He can buzz, but he
ain't got no stinger no
more.

WEDNESDAY_ 60-0518
97 And Paul said, "It does not
yet appear just exactly what kind of a body we'll have, but we know we'll have
a body like His." What? Did He ever have that theophany
body? Yes, sir. When He died, the Bible said that,
"He," is a personal pronoun again, "He went to hell and preached
to the souls in prison." Hallelujah. How did He do it? He had senses of
feeling; He had senses of hearing; He had senses of speech; He preached with
that same kind of body I saw those glorified ones in the other night. He
preached to the souls that were in hell, that repented
not in the long-suffering of the days of Noah.
But when He rose up on Easter, it was not possible that that Body
should see corruption, 'cause David the prophet foresaw it, "I'll not
leave His soul in hell, neither will I suffer My holy
One to see corruption. Moreover My flesh shall rest in hope, because He will
not leave My soul in hell, neither will He leave My
holy One see corruption." And on seventy-two hours before corruption could
set in, that theophany, that body that went and
preached to the souls that were in prison, that repented not in the long-suffering
of days of Noah, rose again, and the mortal put on immortality, and He stood
and He eat, and He told us that He was a Man. Hallelujah.
FAITH.ONCE.DELIVERED.TO.SAINTS_ W.P.BEACH.FL SUNDAY_
53-1129A
E-56 And God went and got some skins
and gave them aprons. In order to get skins He had to kill something. Something
had to die a substitutionary. And the only thing in the world... It's not the Methodist,
Baptist or Presbyterian church that'll cover your
sins. God killed something: His Son, Calvary.
That's their covering, the only covering there is for
the human being. Accept it. No matter how irradical
it...?... the religion of Jesus Christ has always been
considered fanaticism to the world. I'll prove that to you in a few minutes.
That's right.
Notice him now. Here they are out there a worshipping, both of
them, both sincere, both just a screaming up to God, giving Him praise and
everything. Cain was a long ways from being a communist. He was a believer.
Now, looky here. If the only thing you
have to do is to believe that God is, then Cain was just. There you are. Kinda going to
let that soak down a little bit, 'cause I want it to go under the fifth rib on
the left side. See?
HAVING.CONFERENCES_ CHATAUQUA.OH WEDNESDAY_
60-0608
E-27 Then we find then, when God found them
standing behind the bush somewhere, shivering, and with their fig leave aprons
on, God... Like always (the world conferences) they always try to get to
"And who told you you were
naked?"
And then they started, just as it always is, what they call in the
army "passing the buck" from one to the other. God looked
around and He found a tree, a certain place, a place He thought would be beautiful.
And He got some skins, and threw them back in the bushes, and said, "Cover
yourself with this, and come out before Me."
And they had a conference; they talked it over. Then God made a
preparation for them. Oh, I'm so glad there was an Eden conference, not let us
go under fig leaves and something we can sew up together, but God killed
something to cover their sins and gave a promise, that through the woman's seed
would crush the serpent's head, foretelling what He would do.

E-66 And He went around. Then He made him a
helpmate. And the first thing you know, sin came into the world. And I can look
at all of that that morning when God stood there before Adam and Eve. And when
they sinned... Of course they tried to make themself
a religion and dodge around, but it wouldn't do no
good.
God said, "Where are you, Adam?" And Adam answered. And
he's covered up with fig leaves, but his fig leaf religion didn't do any good.
That's right.
So then when the... First thing you know, God went out
and got some skins. In order to get skins, He had to kill something. And He had
to kill something to make a religion. And, brother, your old, cold, formal
creeds ain't going to do you any good. God killed
something on Calvary, His own Son, to cover up sin.

E-67 And could you imagine God throwing back in them bushes there
a old pair of bloody sheepskin. Here comes the most
beautiful woman ever lived in the face of the earth wrapped up, her blond hair
hanging down her--her back like this. Didn't even know she was naked before,
with this old bloody sheepskin around her, the blood running down her--her
beautiful form. And here come Adam the same way, his big manly shoulders and
this sheepskin around him. He was... Couldn't stand no more
naked. He was in shame. I got my idea of what it was. You can have
yours. But, all right.

E-36 But He went anyhow because there was one
soul calling for Him. Just think, crossed that stormy lake, over across there
to find one soul in need; that was His love for one needy soul. He will come
from glory tonight to this school auditorium for one needy soul that'll believe
Him.
And so then, when sin came in, it separated man from fellowship.
Notice what God did to bring man back to fellowship. He introduced
to the world a Blood redemption. God killed animals
and put for their skin, showing a blood redemption.
And there God, after being separated from His--from His creatures, God laid out
the welcome mat back home by the shedding of the blood. And that was then, and
has been, and will always be, God's provided preparation for fellowship with
Him is through the shed Blood.
FELLOWSHIP_ MINNEAPOLIS.MN SUNDAY_
56-0212
E-25 Now, since sin broke that fellowship, man
has been tossed about from ever wind of doctrine and he's still tossed about.
He was turned out of the garden of Eden to shift for
himself, and then that great time he's still tossing about.
God made one preparation for man to be restored back to that
fellowship. Oh, nothing else... we have tried... He offered to the human race. Blood was the way back to fellowship. God killed some
animals and took their skins, shed the innocent blood of the animal, and
brought the skin and wrapped Adam and Eve in it, and fellowshipped with them
again after the shedding of the blood.
This is God's way. It was God's way. It'll always be the
right thing to fellowship through the blood, reconciliation bringing the
believer back into contact with his Maker. We've tried to
educate people to it. It'll never work. We've tried to draw denominational
barriers, and say, "Because you go to this church or this church..."
Denomination, education, signs or anything else outside the shed Blood of the
Lord Jesus Christ will never bring fellowship back to the people again with
God.

72 Oh, how it was terrible that morning,
darkness hanging in the garden. I'll imagine fog of black sackcloth. I'd
imagine every leaf never moved. There was no wind stirring. It was darkness and
terrible, because sin had blotted out.
There come Jehovah down like a roar of thunder, walking through
the garden, crying, "Adam, where art thou?" That's when Adam realized
he was naked and had sinned before God. He hid hisself
and tried to make hisself a religion, but it didn't
work. God killed some sheep, took the skins, and showed that something had to
die to cover sin.
Joining church will never cover sin. No dry-eyed
confession will ever cover sin. It takes sorrow and repentance, and the grace
of God to cover sin; for the Blood of Jesus Christ, the One that God killed at

139-173 I don't know. This might be my bosom friend
setting here for all I know; for God Who is in heaven knows I don't even know
the handwriting. I couldn't tell you. But I want you to listen this. "My
God is a God of love--my God is love and wouldn't do this. Wars are of
Satan." I'll agree with you that wars is of
Satan. That's exactly. He's a prince of this world. Every kingdom and every
nation in this world belongs to Satan. God said they did in His Word. Satan
said, "They're mine." Jesus admitted that they were his. But He's
going to fall heir to all of them after while, Jesus will. We'll have no more
wars then. But God permits Satan to do this for correction and for judgment.
Now, I want to ask you something just before we start. I want you
to answer me this and find out. If you don't believe that God is a... You
said... that wouldn't do these things. Just to start it right from the
beginning... Now, give me your undivided attention if you can. Listen. Why did God Himself chastise His own Son and murder Him
on the cross? God killed His own Son at the cross. "Yet it pleased
God," said the Scripture, "to smite Him, and to bruise Him, and to
wound Him." God did His own Son that way to save you.
