|
| |
| ===Jesus Christ is the only Mediator===
| |
| :''I asked that priest, I said, "Why did any... If Peter was the first pope?"''
| |
| :''He said, "That's right."''
| |
| :''I said, "Then why did Peter say, 'There's no other mediator between God and man but that Man Christ Jesus.' And you've got five thousand dead women and everything else you're making mediators. Now, what's happened?" There you are. They ain't got an answer for that. That's right.''

| ===The power of our confession===
| |
| :''He's the High Priest of our confession. Therefore, He cannot do anything for us until first we confess that He has done it. And then when we confess it, then He is the High Priest, a Mediator to go to work on that and make it right. So we pray, trusting in God tonight, in His kindness and mercy, that He will give to us His abundance of grace tonight.

| ===Christ the Sacrifice Lamb===
| |
| :''Now, we could spend much time this afternoon, in explaining that, which would be just reviewing what we already know, that how Christ foreshadowed in the types the sacrificial Lamb, how it must be kept up, a male without blemish, and how it must be killed by the elders, and how that the blood must be sprinkled on the door, all foreshadowing the coming of Christ. And under this shed blood was the place that God met the worshipper, when the Death angel passed through the land.

| ===The order of [[Melchizedek]]===
| |
| :''Just look at this: "Where the forerunner is for us entered in, entered, even Jesus..." The Forerunner of what? The Forerunner of our salvation, physically and spiritually: "For He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed." The Forerunner of our salvation has already entered in. The assurance... already "entered, even Jesus, made a high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec."

| :''In the Old Bible they had a way to find out whether it was the truth or not. They had in their Mosaic laws they had what they called the Aaronic priesthood, and then the Levitical priesthood, rather, and Aaron was the high priest carrying...on his breast, the stones of each birth of the patriarchs. They hung that breastplate up. And then it was called the Urim Thummim. And when a prophet prophesied, if he went to the Urim Thummim, and he told his prophecy, or told his dream, and that supernatural lights didn't reflect back in a conglomerations of light, then, I don't care how good it sound, it was wrong. They refused it. All good teachers knows that, that they--they refused it. It had to witness to the Urim Thummim. And now, of course when that priesthood ended, then there was another priesthood come in which after the order of Melchisedec.''
| |
| :''Now, now today we do not have the birthstones of the patriarchs, but we do have a Urim Thummim. And that's God's Bible. Jesus said, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away." And in the book of Revelations, which is the revelation of Jesus Christ, He said, "If anybody will add to or take away from It, the same will be taken, his part, out of the book of life." This is the Urim Thummim.''
