The Red String In The Window - Don King

The time of the Wilderness wandering of the Israelites was

over. It was time now, to cross over

the Jordan and spy out, the land, Moses and Aaron are dead

Joshua. And Caleb have taken over as the

leaders of God's people. Joshua sends a couple of fellas

out, maybe more than that, but he sent some men out and they

were to spy out the land, as well as the city of Jericho,

which was just over the river. I don't know how long it had

been since these fellows had gotten their.

I don't know how extensive their Espionage was.

But at some point, they found themselves in the house of a

woman whose name was Rahab and the Bible speaks of Rahab as

Rahab the Harlot. Now, this title, was normally

reserved for an immoral woman as I'm sure you all realize.

But probably this woman was no longer practicing that sinful

occupation. However, as is often the case, a

scar that we get from having committed, a sin early on, May

continue with us for a long time.

I do not believe that these men went to her house for any

ungodly purpose. In fact, I believe that it was

God's Providence that put them there.

And I'll try to explain that if I don't forget it in a minute.

But while these men were at the house of Rahab and the Bible

says that her house was on the town wall.

Archeologist, tell us that the city of Jericho was a mighty

walled City in the ancient world.

The wall was great enough. That supposedly, according to

architect archaeologists, it appeared to have been a wide

enough for two charriots to have passed a breasted each other on

the top of it. So it wasn't just a fence that

was built around the city, but I'm Mighty wall and houses were

built on the edge of this perhaps hanging off of The Edge

and rahab's was one of those while the these men were at her

house, somehow word, leaked out and the king of Jericho, which,

you know, we talk about Kings today.

He wasn't a king, like the king of England, or the king of

France, but more like a mayor would be he Was a politically

child uh politically competent, man but did not have the power

that a king in some cases might have had but the king of Jericho

heard about that and he said a message to rehab to send those

men out because she has a said, he said they'd be here to spy

out the land, and the City Rehab had, figured it all out.

You see she had heard about the Exploits of Israel.

She knew how that one city after the other had been falling to

them because God was blessing them.

They were not going to lose. God, never needs numbers.

He only needs dedication and obedience and the wind is

absolutely guaranteed. And so one land and one city and

one nation after the other had been falling before them.

In fact, she told them our hearts have failed or melted

within us, Us when we heard what you did to this one and that one

and the other one. And so she said I'm going to

make a deal with you. I'm going to hide you, and I'm

going to keep you from being caught.

But I want you to promise me that when Israel comes to take

the city that my father's house will be saved and will be all

right, she had, no doubt. That's, is that Jericho would

fall. She just wasn't sure when it

would happen, but she knew if God's people came and besieged

the city that the city would fall.

And so they made a deal with her, they said you take this

piece of scarlet line. Apparently, she had some red

rope that. She had there in the house and

she was going to let that out of a window.

And they were going to climb down the outside of that that

wall, she hid them underneath some stalks of Flax on the roof

of the house when the soldiers came and she told them a, she

told them a story. She said, yes, there were some

men that came in to me tonight but I don't know where they came

from and I don't know where they went, but if you will pursue

after them quickly down by the forward, that is Speaking of the

River Ford Thou shalt to overtake them and so they left.

Now, one of the reasons that I think those men probably went to

her house was that God knew that this was going to take place.

And might I suggest to you there, perhaps was no one else

in all the city of Jericho who could have told such a tail and

had it believed as she did. You ever thought about that?

Who else could say? Yeah, I had company tonight but

I don't know where they came from.

I don't know who they were, and I don't know where they were

going. She was the perfect person to

fit into this part of God's plan.

There's no doubt that God was overseeing all of this because

nearly everything that we're going to talk about today from

the Old Testament, at least until we get to the new was

providential and prophetic in its in its import well, They

said you take this piece of scarlet line that we're going to

go down by and you bind that in the window and it will come to

pass that when we come to take the land and the city that that

line will be seen. And they said everyone that is

in the house will be saved. I don't forget that because the

word house plays quite an important role when you are

studying Taipan data type or Shadow and substance, as we're

doing this morning, everyone that is in the house.

House that is Mark was Scarlet. They're going to be.

All right, we'll take responsibility for them and if

anything happens to them their blood will be up on our head.

On the other hand, if they get out of the house then they're

going to be responsible for themselves and if something

happens to them while they're out of the house, we're not

responsible for what for what happens to them.

So they climb down the red rope and made their way by a

circuitous route. Back to the camp.

And Gave the report back to Joshua and Caleb.

Now, all of you who are have done very much reading and the

Old Testament are aware of the fact that this is in a sense, a

passing over as it were, it was an escape.

It was a rescue, if you will, and interestingly enough all

that are in the house that is Mark was Scarlet were saved and

rescued that has to have an important part.

If you, if you're familiar though, with the Old Testament,

you're bound to be aware of an incident that took place very

similar incident. That took place almost exactly

40 years earlier. That was when Israel was getting

ready to leave Egypt. God told Moses to go before

pharaoh and asked that his people be released remember

that. And one time after the other

favor old would first say yes? Then he would say no.

And so a series of a number of plagues that I don't have time

to go into were visited upon Egypt.

The only one that I'm really concerned about is the last one,

the very last plague that God's in was the plague of the death

angel. And this is an important one

because God had said, the time is going to come when I'm going

to pass over the camp. And so when I come over the camp

every house that is not marked with the blood of the Passover

Lamb Come Morning. The first born in that family,

as well as the firstborn of all family.

Owned animals will be dead. And so in the twelfth chapter of

the book of Exodus, God gave instructions for the killing of

the Passover Lamb. They were to kill that lamb and

just serve a certain way. It had to be a young male

without blemish and so on and then they were to take the blood

of that animal and paint it on the doorpost.

And the Lynne tells that is on the top part in the side, parts

of the house. And so God said, when I see the

blood, I will pass over you. You know, we used to sing the

old song, when I see the blood, I will pass over you and

undoubtedly many of us our son that and never realized the

import of those words. It was literally a passing over

and if you wonder why the lamb was referred to as the Passover

Lamb, it was because of that it was a passing over God passed

over all of those house. Just that had the blood of the

lamb and those that did not death was the result.

And the Bible tells us that that night, that even favor, oh,

rolled out of bed with a cry of Anguish.

Because there was not a house in all of Egypt in which one was

not dead. But Over Yonder in the little

group of Goshen, the little area of Goshen, where God's people

lived strangely enough. No death over there because they

had obeyed the command of God and painted the blood of the

Lamb. Lamb on the doorpost.

So here we have two cases and in each case, those that were in

the house that is Mark with Scarlet are safe and those that

are out of the house. Mark was Scarlet, are not safe.

What we're dealing than with is a symbol or a type.

If you will of people being saved by the blood of Christ.

Now, what we're talking about today and what I want to trace

with you today is the idea of how the blood of Christ began in

Prophecy, at least, even in the Old Testament.

You'll notice that in all of these cases, the word house

plays an important role. Now all that are in the house

that is Mark was scarred. It are safe.

Remember what Paul said in second Timothy 3 verses 14 and

2 Timothy 3:14

15. When he said these things write

I unto thee hoping to come under the shortly.

But if I should Terry long, that thou mayest know how thou

oughtest to behave thyself. In the house of God which is the

Church of the Living. God, the pillar and ground or

support if you will of the truth.

And so one just simply carries over to the other.

Just as those in the house Mark was scarlet and rahab's, day

were saved just as those that were in the house marked with

the blood of the Lamb Scarlet in color.

I'm sure that's not an accident in Moses day were saved.

So it is today those that are in the house of God.

God that is Mark was Scarlet. The blood of Jesus Christ.

Purchased his church. When you're in the house of God,

Mark was Scarlet today. You were still safe and God is

responsible for you. Nothing will happen to you as

long as you remain faithful and stay in the house of God.

So want to talk with you today about the blood of Christ, and

how it began literally in the very early chapters of the Old

Testament. Remember reading their how that

the Bible says that there came a time when Cain and Abel offered

a sacrifice. Now, this this is kind of

interesting to me and I'll try not to take too much time, but

the Bible tells us that they offered a sacrifice, Cain was a

tiller of the fields or a farmer while Abel was a keeper of sheep

or a Shepherd. Now, the scripture tells us

nothing about in The Genesis account tells us nothing about

their having been. A command of God to do this, but

we know there was, how do we know that?

Because in the 11th chapter of Hebrews, sometimes referred to

as Faith, honor roll. The Bible said by faith Abel

offered a more excellent sacrifice than his brother came.

How did he do it by faith? According to Romans 10:17, Faith

Romans 10:17

cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

And so while we are not told the command he could not have done

it by faith except to have done it in response to a command of

God if you get my point. So God had commanded this but

notice what happens Cain. And offers a sacrifice that is a

vegetable sacrifice. Well, what's wrong with that?

It undoubtedly represented many, many hours of toil and sweat.

If you've ever worked on a farm, you know what I'm talking about

or even a garden for that matter.

And yet God did not accept that, but Cain and Abel sacrifice.

Rather was a sacrifice in which blood was found because Abel

offered the fatlings of his flock.

And the scripture plainly says that unto Cain, God, had no

respect, but unable Rifice he did and came became very, very

angry, very wrong. The Bible says, and God said to

him, why art thou wroth? Why hast thou countenance?

Fallen? That's kind of amusing to me.

Pardon me for smiling. Because there's many times when

I've been preaching and I've noticed that the, that the

countenance of some Falls when you talk about certain things,

and if you're, if you're a public teacher, you know what

I'm talking about. God knew that, that Kane was

angry, because his countenance had fallen, he was pouting.

And so God said, and listen to this, because this is the key to

understanding it. God said, if thou doest, well

shalt thou not be accepted. In other words, if you are

obedient, won't you be accepted? But he said, if thou doest not,

well, that is if you didn't obey me sin, lieth at the door, so

there's the problem. Cain offers a sacrifice with no

blood, and God doesn't accept it.

And he said, sin is at the door Abel offers a sacrifice that

contains blood, which was a type or a figure of the blood of

Jesus Christ. That would later be a come to

pass the Bible tells, Us in 1st Corinthians, 5 and verse 7.

That Jesus is our Passover and the Old Testament, as well as

the Hebrew letter is replete with passages indicating that

every time a sacrifice was killed.

It was typical or a type meaning that it brought to mind in God's

mind the time when his own son would come and offer his blood

on the cross. These are very, very much

intertwined. So that's obviously the reason

why cable sacrifice was accepted.

And Keynes was not now the Bible tells us that even before that

that Adam and Eve when they sinned in the garden you

remember that when they sinned the scripture tells us that God

took the skins of animals and clothed them.

Now one thing you're going to find let me just interject.

This one thing you're going to find when you study the scheme

of redemption. And that's essentially what

we're doing today. When you study the scheme of

redemption, you're going to find always that.

It is the innocent who suffers for the guilty without exception

without exception. It is the innocent who pays the

priced, it is the guilty who goes free, that's who we are

today. Isn't it?

Romans 3:23 tells us that we are all guilty of sin and have all

Romans 3:23

come short of the glory of God. Yet.

We sit here today, expecting to go to heaven.

Why? Because the innocent Lord or

Christ suffered in our place and Peter said, by his stripes, are

you healed? And so the innocent always

suffers from The guilty when you and literally from the beginning

of sin in the Garden of Eden that has ever been the case when

those animals died. So that God could take their

skins and make clothing for Adam and Eve because they were naked.

Those animals had to give up their lives, they were innocent,

but they died and the guilty. Pair Adam and Eve went free.

And such was the case, even with Cain and Abel Abel was the

Innocent party, but if you'll remember Cain, murdered him and

killed him and was allowed to go on and live though he was marked

with some sort of a mark so that he would be distinguished from

the rest of the people from that time on.

And so what we're looking at today is is is this when you see

the blood of Jesus Christ in its in its infancy, in its prophetic

Forum, when you look at this red line that Rahab posted in her

Window. What you're seeing in that red

line is a sign of a scheme of redemption from the beginning of

sin in Genesis to its eventual and final eradication.

In the Book of Revelation, it also always speaks of death as

the inevitable result of sin. But interestingly enough blood

is also seen as the inevitable atonement for that sin.

So while blood is shed in death and death, is the result of sin.

Blood is also the inevitable atonement for that sin.

Well, let's begin right here at Cain and Abel sacrifice and

study the bloodline of Christ. As we begin to study in the Old

Testament over here. In Exodus chapter 12, we come to

Exodus 12 · chapter mention

the time where I And a moment ago of the Passover and remember

that I told you that Paul said in First Corinthians 5 and verse

7, that Christ is our Passover. This means that there is a

connection between the literal Passover and exodus 12 and the

Passover that we enjoy today now.

In Exodus 12 and verse 13. God said, and the blood shall be

to you for a token upon the houses where you are, and when I

see the blood, I will pass over you and the plague shall not be

upon you to destroy you. When I smite the land of Egypt

back up in verses 3 and 4 he said speak ye unto all the

congregation of Israel. Say in the tenth day of this

month, they shall take to them every Manel and listen carefully

they shall take to them. And a lamb according to the

house of their fathers, a lamb for and house.

And if the household be too little, for the lamb, let him.

And his neighbor next into his house.

Take it. According to the number of the

souls, every man, according to his eating shall make your count

for the lamb. Now, you're probably wondering

where in the world I'm going. In Israel, there were many many

houses, but let's just suppose that this represents the

households are houses in Israel. When it came time for the

Passover, God commanded that every one of these house houses

would have a lamb. The only exception to that would

be if your house was too small to complete the eating of the

lamb. In that case, you could invite

someone from your neighbor's house to come and help you eat

it. But, not one morsel of that.

Lamb was allowed to leave your house.

What's the point of all of this? The point of all of this is to

show That the observation, if you will, of the Passover was

congregational, or within each and every household, every

household might contain two or three different generations and

still is such a still, the case in many parts of the world in

the Philippines. For instance, where I often go,

it is not uncommon to see two or three generations of the same

family living in the same house and the older ones taking care

of the little ones as they grow up and so on.

Long. And so this is the way he that

they observe the Passover on a yearly basis.

Now just as every house had a Passover and every house had a

lamb. When you understand that, the

house of God is the Church of the Living.

God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

You can see that there is a connection between the Church of

the Lord Jesus Christ. And the house in Exodus chapter

Exodus 12 · chapter mention

12 and just as every house has a lamb which was a figure or a

type of Jesus Christ. So every congregation today has

the Lord's supper, and that Lord supper allows us to remember,

who we remember, Jesus Christ. And who is he?

He is our Passover, 1st Corinthians, 5 and verse 7, Now,

sometimes Brethren say, not our Brethren, but some Bradman say,

well, it is true that there is one cup.

But there's one cup for the whole world.

They say the cup is the blood and so there's one cup for the

whole world number 1. The Bible never says that the

cup is the blood. It never says that what it says

is that Jesus said this cup is the New Testament in my blood.

That's quite a difference than saying this cup is the blood.

What Jesus told us was that the cup was the New Covenant or the

agreement. If you will ratify Dorset

enforce by his blood quite It a difference in saying that it is

the blood. There is The Testament, but

there is also the blood that set it in force.

So I hope you can see the similarity sometimes Brethren

say, and you know, when you when you think of the passage, I

think its first Corinthians 10 and 16 where Paul said the

bread, the cup which we bless is it not the communion of the

blood of Christ the bread which we break?

Is it? Not the communion of the body of

Christ and the Brethren ask? Why that Paul or how Paul could

write that to Corinth he apparently was perhaps in

Ephesus? When he wrote that?

And that they say, how could he write something from Ephesus to

Corinth and say speak of the bread?

And the cup, which we bless. There's only one way, and many

of the scholars. Such as we Vine, will tell you

that the word, we there refers to we the assembled by get that

we've assembled in Ephesus, and we the assembled in Corinth.

And we, this assembled here in Nashville and we the assemble,

where I live in Fremont, California.

For Nia. We bless the cup and we break

the bread. And so no, you don't have one

cup for the whole world and I want to tell you something.

If you make that argument, you need to understand that in order

for your argument, and the type from, which it Springs right

here in a Exodus 12. If that argument has any

Credence you're going to have to find some way to get one lamb

for all of real. if there's one cup for all the world, But no,

every congregation in Israel, had a Passover just as every

Congregation of the Lord's church has the Lord's, Supper it

fits, and it's too good to be an accident.

Only the mind of an infinite. God could have conceived of

that. Now every time this animal was

killed It pictured. The time when Jesus would come

and die on the cross. That's why Jesus is said to be

our Passover. Just as they were saved by that

Passover, we are saved by H and so they're connected in type of

antitype though, they were not the same thing.

You continue to study this and you come over here to Joshua

Joshua 2 · chapter mention

chapter 2, as we all have already read.

And you see that line that is hung in rahab's window.

And as I told you this represents as it were in typical

language in figurative, language a sign of the blood of Christ.

It was not an accident. I'll promise you that it was

scarlet and color it represented, the blood of

Christ, which was literally for the big for the eradication of

Sin from the beginning to the end.

You say, how could that be? We'll look at Hebrews 9 and

verse 15. There, the Apostle Paul said and

what a, what a powerful passage this is he said in for this,

cause he is the mediator of the New Testament.

Are you following me? He said, for this cause he is

the mediator of the New Testament over here is the New

Testament that by means of death.

For the transgressions of the sins that were committed under

the first testament, they, which are the called might receive the

promise. Of Eternal inheritance.

What does that mean? If you boil it all down, what

Paul is teaching in Hebrews 9 and 15?

Is that when Jesus died on the cross and shed his blood, his

blood not only goes forward to take care of our sins but it

also, it goes back retrospective if you will, to the Past during

a time, when these things here, could not really forgive sin.

Remember that Paul said it is not possible for the blood of

bulls and goats to take away sin.

Well, that's why the blood of Christ has to also go back and

cover that they did all that they could do.

It was a temporary fix. But finally, the blood of Christ

will cleanse their sins. What I'm telling you is that

come to Day of Judgement. Every person who is saved, no

matter what year, or what era of time, he lived in every person

who is saved, will ultimately be saved by the blood of Jesus

Christ, though. He may have lived in an earlier

time. I'm and been forgiven on a

temporary or ceremonial basis. Until the real thing came along.

Now let me talk with you a minute about the blood of

Christ. And on the cross.

In Ephesians 1 and verse 7. Paul said in whom we have

Redemption through his blood, the Forgiveness of sins,

according to the riches of his grace.

There probably is no more beautiful subject in the New

Testament than the subject of redemption.

And it is also probably one of the least understood subjects.

I think we all understand that Redemption means somebody has

been saved from their past sins. But let me explain maybe in a

little greater depth. What I understand it to be years

ago, when my family and I were getting ready to leave

Cincinnati Ohio and moved back to California.

We went down to and I'm dating myself.

Some of you're not old enough to remember this, but we went down

to the S&H. Green Stamps store.

Remember, some of you remember. I can see.

He's smiling used to, when you buy groceries or gas, they give

you S&H Green Stamps or sometimes Blue Chip Stamps.

And when we would receive those stamps, we had the option.

If we wanted to to take those stamps back, paste them in a

book. And when we got enough books, we

could take those stamps down to the step store.

And get a piece of merchandise that we wanted or needed.

Well, we had a piece of merchandise that we wanted to

get and I remember when we went down there with our few stamps,

I remember going through the door and to my amazement, it

just kind of clicked like that over the door.

It said, Redemption Center. I thought, Redemption Center.

And I think for the first time, I understood Redemption better

than I ever had, because you see what we had was some old stamps

that we had pasted in these books.

They were totally useless to us. We didn't need those things, we

didn't want those things. They were of, no use to us until

and unless they were Redeemed by that company, that put them out

in the first place. And when they redeemed them,

they would give in its place to us a piece of merchandise.

And eyes that we did need and want.

Now, here we are guilty of sin. And Jesus comes along and dies

on the cross. We don't need those sins.

We can go to heaven with these sins.

There have absolutely no use to us, but Jesus comes and sheds,

his blood. And when we obey the gospel,

those sins are redeemed, their taken away from us and in their

place is given us the promise of eternal life.

That's Redemption. That's what it needs.

You get rid of something, you can't use and get something you

desperately need. And Paul says, we are redeemed.

Through his blood, in 1st Corinthians, 15 and 3.

And and you'll notice that all the way across here, we've been

talking about his blood blood blood.

Blood everywhere is blood, it's always part of the Redemption

scheme, the innocent suffering for the guilty but listen again

in 1st Corinthians 15 and 3 Paul's Road and said for I

delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how

that Christ died for our sins. According to the scriptures and

what he means by saying. According to the scriptures,

he's talking about all of those Old Testament passages that

portray in type and antitype and in figurative language, the

coming of the Son of God. Did you know that?

David in the Psalms actually speaks, though, he doesn't call

him by name but he speaks of Jesus and the fact that his

hands are pierced with nails. Yes, sir.

Absolutely, and Isaiah talks about how that he carried our

burdens and bore our sins and our sorrows.

And and so on. All of that beautiful

fifty-third chapter of Isaiah was all profiting 700 plus

years, before Jesus ever came to the world, Isaiah wrote about

him and what he would do for us. That's what Paul means.

When he says that he died according to the scriptures, he

had to in order to fulfill the scriptures in.

Fact, the Bible plainly says that Jesus fulfilled.

All scripture. In first, John 2 and 2.

The book says, and he is the propitiation for our sins and

not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

The word propitiation is very similar to atonement or

reconciliation. And when Jesus died, he became

the propitiation or the atonement if you will for our

sins again, in First, Peter 2, and verse 24, Peter said, who is

own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree.

Tree that we being dead to sins should live unto righteousness

by whose Stripes, ye were healed.

It ought to make us feel a little more humble to realize

that we can sit here today expecting to go to heaven.

Because somebody came and took our women for us.

Somebody redeemed us. All was to be lost.

But we were redeemed. As the old preachers used to

say, our all was in the devil's pawn shop.

And we had no way to redeem it. But we have been redeemed by the

blood of Jesus Christ. Finally, a second Corinthians 5

and verse 21. Paul said, for he hath, made him

to be sin for us who knew? No sin.

Speaking of Christ, that we might be made the righteousness

of God in him and innocent individual.

Remember, I told you that the innocent always suffers for the

guilty and innocent individual comes and dies on the cross.

This individual knew no sin. But we who did no sin have been

forgiven through the blood of Jesus Christ because we obeyed

the gospel. We have been baptized in water

for the remission of sins, and we contacted his blood that way,

we are made the righteousness of God in him, but let me continue

on this bloodline was right to the cross.

And then from the cross, it begins in earnest.

And over over here. Now, today in 2007, And we're

enjoying the blessings of the blood of Christ.

Still in 2007. There are only two things

regarding the church that I'm aware of that deal with blood

one is when we are baptized into Christ.

And the other is when we observe the Lord's Supper, as we're

going to do momentarily and we drink the cup of blessing.

When you understand that baptism and the Lord's Supper are the

only two things in the church that have one thing in the world

to do with blood. Can you understand why these two

items are perhaps more often counterfeited and changed than

anything else? You don't see the hand of the

devil in that. Of course, he's behind it.

He wants you to be lost. And and when you think about it,

if Rahab had failed to post that line in her window and ask you a

question, when Israel came to take Jericho, do you really

believe her house would have been saved anyway?

I don't, I don't believe that have been saved at all, and I

believe we post that line in our window when we are baptized in

water for the remission of sins. But what if she hadn't kept a

lion in the window? What if after she had, put it up

there and those men left, what is, she took a look at that?

And thought what in the world are the neighbors?

Gonna think of me with piece of red rope tied up in my window?

What if she had taken it out? Would the fact that she hung it

and then took it out? Have resulted in their being

saved? No.

She had to keep it in the window because they had to see it when

they came. And as I understand the type of

data type, we post this line in our window of faith, when we

were baptized into Christ. But we keep it in our window

when we observe in a scriptural manner, the Lord's Supper One

love, one cup back here. During this time, you read of

the table of showbread. On the table of showbread which

contain 12 loaves of unleavened bread.

Do you remember that? God, decreed.

I don't know why, but he decreed that those lows be placed on

that table in two rows of seven. What's wrong with three rows of

four? I don't know, but I'll guarantee

you. One thing I wouldn't have put

three rows of four. If he asked for two rows of six.

God just doesn't deal with or deal well, with men who change

his word, Do you really believe that if he was, that particular

to specify the way the table was set, then that he is not also

particular that the table is set according to the pattern.

Now, all, during the time of Moses sojourn, he kept telling

Moses when they were building the Tabernacle.

He said, see that now do it according to the pattern.

I don't mind to tell you. I am very pattern oriented.

I'm afraid of anything that differs from the pattern. now,

you know, there's a lot of things about this that we could

say, but I've got the clothes, we used to sing a song and and

part of the words went like this, Not all the blood of

beasts on Jewish altar. Slain could give the guilty

conscience peace or wash away his stain.

Some of you are recognizing the words of those songs but the

blood of Christ are Since By Faith.

I saw that stream is Flowing wounds Supply.

Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die in

closing. Let me leave a true story with

you. I told you one.

That was true last night. I'll tell you another one today.

That's true. During the time of the Mosaic,

dispensation and about the time that Israel was getting ready to

leave Egypt. History records, the story of a

little girl She was crippled not able to walk that fast and on

the day that the lamb was to be killed and it's blood painted on

the door. Post this little girl was very

concerned about how the blood was being put on the house.

Because she was the first born. She is the oldest she kept

asking all day, has the blood been painted on the house and

was told that it had been but since she was bed fast, she

couldn't go see, and when her father came in that afternoon,

she asked him and he assured her, that it was And she said, I

want to see it. And finally, he just picked her

up and carried her out there. And to his amazement, though the

lamb had been killed, nobody had painted it on the door and had

it not been for her insistence. She would not have survived the

night, the blood was hastily painted on the door. and then,

She lay back and comfort, and peace.

It's amazing to me that people today.

Can just be a member of a church.

They don't know and they don't seem to care whether or not

they're in the house. That is marked with Scarlett.

They're unconcerned about that. I don't understand that.

I wonder today. Are you sure that you're in the

house? That is Mark was Scarlet.

That's where salvation is promised and it's not promised

in any other. There wasn't another house in

all of Jericho that was promised salvation.

Do you realize that, I don't know how many thousands of

houses there were, but there was only one that salvation was

promised in that in itself is a telling point.
