"Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased." Numbers 11:10

"And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; but even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and Thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month. Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? Thou shalt see now whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp." Numbers 11:18-23,31-32

"But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares?
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." Matthew 13:25-30

Greetings, beloved! What a joy it is to be alive and to know that you are a son or a daughter of Jesus Christ; and what a blessedness it is to know that you have been born anew into the Kingdom of God; and if through these conditions of blessedness you are also prepared to add a willingness to live according to the laws of the Kingdom, then does your life become like heaven on earth!

I know that so many of you have been brainwashed ever since you were youngsters, and so thoroughly was the job done that it is well nigh impossible to get the average Christian to realize that the atoning work wrought out on Calvary was an absolute redemption (to the Nth degree) – even for our here and now! People have been taught to believe that the work of redemption was only for the "soul" of man after he is dead, and that to become effective in an unknown world and a hoped-for tomorrow. He is also taught to believe that here on earth his lot is to be one of great endurance, with desperate and unrelenting struggle; that he must be booted from pillar to post with far more downs than he will ever see ups, until eventually he is down and out, full of sorrow and sickness, and is eventually swallowed up in the blackness of death. That is what I referred to as having been "brainwashed." But to that I would like to add, "with hogwash!" For thousands of years man has had such lies thrown at him: that because the primitive pair sinned, all of their descendants – time without end – must labor furiously and suffer unendingly, which, since Christ's atoning work on Calvary, becomes a concept which can be labeled "hogwash."

May I suggest that you have paper and pencil convenient that you may take down the numbers which I will shortly mention to you, so that you may behold more prophecy for the days in which you and I live. It would also be well to have your Bible convenient, or at least write down references which I shall also mention, that you may see for yourself the Biblical foundation I have for my statements. First I want to quote a few verses to you from the Prophet Ezekiel and the 18th chapter, beginning with verse 20:

"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all My statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live."

That was spoken by God unto His people, while they were still under the Law, stating very emphatically that a son should not suffer for the sins of his father, but only for his own transgressions. Now, we Christians have given lip service to the Son of God for over 19 centuries, proclaiming that He died for our sins, and that we are under grace. Still, in spite of all this we are so abominably contrary that we will claim our troubles and sorrows are all because of Adam's sin. Can you not see how blind and contrary we have been? With open eyes and willfulness do we reject the Word of God, wherein He stated emphatically almost three thousand years ago, through the Prophet Ezekiel, that a son should not suffer for the sins of his father, but only for his own transgressions. Yes, I repeat, "lip service to the Son of God" – and that is all that it amounts to! Had there been genuine faith in the hearts of Christians, combined with a knowledge and understanding of Scripture, then long ago would we have booted out the beliefs common to our day – those which have flowed from the mouth of the Pit, and are only polluted "hogwash."

We, like ancient Israel, have sinned in that we have limited the Holy One of Israel (Ps. 78:41). Turn with me back to the book of Numbers, which is the fourth book in your Bible, and we will consider chapter eleven. Here I will quote the first verse:

"And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and His anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp."

Just why was the Lord displeased? Precisely why was the Lord's anger kindled against the people? For the simple reason that they complained. What is wrong about complaining? Is God unjust or is He temperamental? A just and righteous God does not grow indignant because people complain, providing they have just cause for that complaint. If you will carefully study the chapter you will find that the Lord's anger was kindled against the people for the simple reason that in spite of their having seen such countless and marvelous feats of power performed by God for them, they still wouldn't believe Him. It would appear as if their great leader Moses may have faltered in the faith, for, he asked of God if all their herds had to be slaughtered in order that the people could get flesh to eat, or if all the fish of the sea had to be gathered to supply their needs (Num. 11:21-22). But now let your eyes rest on the words as you find them in verse 23, that is, Numbers 11:23:

"And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? Thou shalt see now whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not."

At your own leisure, you may read the balance of the chapter, and see how God caused a great wind from the sea to bring up hundreds of thousands of quail, which fell in the camp of Israel, so that they killed and stacked them up several feet deep on the ground and had meat to eat for a whole month. I remind you, that was to a people under the Law, yet the priesthoods of Christendom would have us believe that in spite of our being under grace, God will not do for us today that which He did for His people under the Law. In other words, our God and our Savior must take second place to Moses and the Yahweh of old. What abominable doctrine! I must even question if hogwash is sufficiently descriptive for such mendacious and blasphemous teachings!

The only way in which we can possibly explain the present existence among Christendom of such a distortion of truth is through the prophecies by the Lord Jesus Christ wherein He said that on His departure from the world, "night" would set in (Jn. 9:4), becoming so black that no one would see to work; and that during the reign of that darkness the enemy would sneak in and sow the tares, which would be permitted to grow unto the time of the harvest (Matt. 13:25-30). Therefore, during this night of great spiritual darkness, men ate of the tare-seed, grew sick and groggy, and fell asleep, then had nightmares, wherein they raved and muttered. Those mutterings in the stupor of sleep, and the ravings during the nightmares, have become the commonly accepted teachings of Christendom as we know them today....

If God was angry with His people under the Law because they doubted His power and willingness to undertake for their every need, how much more so should He not be angry with Christendom of today for not believing in His power, in His goodness and grace to us-ward, after the very Son of God went all the way to Calvary's Cross, there to accomplish an atonement unto the absoluteness of our redemption?!

Emphatically do I state that the Son of God bridged earth to heaven, and reestablished peace between God and man (Col. 1:20; Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:13-17; I Tim. 2:5-6). Even out of the Old Testament are we told that He would "bear our sins" (Isa. 53:4,12). Wherefore, since He took our sins, and thus abolished the enmity (by which He also achieved peace), then are we free; and we should be singing from morning unto night! Every day we should greet with a joy-shout, knowing that Christ our Lord paid the price and set us fully free. Did not Jesus say that "He whom the Son sets free is free indeed" (Jn. 8:36)? Therefore, let us arise and commence to sing, and boot back into the Pit the pernicious teachings which have completely enslaved man, and now precipitated him to the brink of the abyss where the whole world totters on the verge of suicide.

If God was justified to reprimand Moses and a people under the Law because they questioned His power and willingness to undertake for them, how much more so may He not stand in great fury today at Christendom's obstinate refusal to believe in Him? ( – Except allegedly for salvation of their "souls" of which they know nothing, and that in an unknown world and a future tomorrow, after one is dead!)

God is here and now: He lives in the eternal present: never shall we ever get away from Him! Only in a certain sense can man get away from God, and that is by slamming the door in His face. It is not God Who departs from man, but man who departs from God. We do not suffer because of the sins of our fathers, neither for the sins of some ancient father; but we suffer exclusively for our own sins – the principal one of which is refusing to believe in God's grace and goodness for the here and now!

In order to look at a portion of prophecy for our day, let us return to the first chapter of Numbers and the first two verses, which I will not quote to you, but rather I will share of their substance, wherein God told Moses to carefully count every member of the congregation by their tribes and families. Why did God ask Moses to do that? Did not God know their number? Moses knew the approximate number of his people, so why should the precise count be important? God had a purpose therein, even a desire to show us His power: how He could so prearrange everything that its minutest detail would resolve into prophecy for generations still to be born. After that Moses and Aaron had finished the job, we read in verse 46:

"Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty."

There is much that can be said about this number, and its various applications of prophecy to be seen, but for the moment I want you to see this number of his people as those which had come out of Egypt. Now turn forward to the 26^{th chapter} of the same book, which was almost forty years later, and we will find in the first two verses a repetition of God's first injunction to "number the children of Israel." We could again apply the same question as to why, but at the conclusion of all such questions there is no answer forthcoming except the one which I have already given you: "God had a reason, and that reason was to show forth His power; yes, even His wisdom unto prophecy of things which were then thousands of years future." Observe that at the first numbering, Israel had just come out of Egypt, had received the Law, and was barely settled down. In contrast to which this second numbering, at the request of God, took place just before Moses' death when the congregation was waiting – as it were – to go in to possess the land promised unto the fathers.

I want you to observe with me how these two numbers stand for a going out and a coming in. To understand God's message for us, we must forget that it was the number of some Jews; we must see it as a drama wrought by God, to appear before our mind's eye as a greater picture that He was enacting in a play, namely, the means of the process, and the time involved in getting humanity weaned away from the things of this world: that is, coming out of "Egypt." And secondly, it was the process of preparing and teaching humanity how to enter into the land promised our fathers, "which flows with milk and honey."

In chapter 26:51, we read:
"These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty."

Now, directly under the previous number you wrote down, write 601,730. Draw a line underneath and add them up and you will get the figure 1,205,280 as the grand total of the two numberings – that is, the first generation which came out but which also died off in the wilderness, plus their children which went in to take over the land. When you have time and inclination you can divide that number by the number of days in our year, and you will find it becomes 3,299.95; that is, three thousand and almost three hundred years, lacking only about two weeks. Under this number write down the figure 2,666.55, which was – according to Biblical chronology – the time that Israel left Egypt.

When you have added these two numbers, you will find they total 5,966.5, which, according to my Pyramid chronology, measures to the spring of 1968 A.D. The figures are correct and the prophecy is true, but there is the possibility that we could be a year or more off in our chronology. Even if we allow a year, or an odd few years for human error, we still see roughly the year that the Jews gained full control of the city of Jerusalem and the subsequent determination of the Moslems and Arabs to destroy Israel. This shows us that the time for our training to go in to possess the land has almost run its course, so that now – figuratively speaking – we stand on the brink of Jordan, with the great Yahoshua ready to take us across, and lead us victorious against every giant and stronghold in the land flowing with milk and honey!

Are YOU among the rebels under "Moses" who refuse to go in to take over that "land" God has promised unto all who obey Him? If so, you must wander and "fall in the wilderness" as of old.

But IF under the great Yahoshua you have watched the "ARK" of God enter and dry up the waters of "Jordan," then make haste, and follow with great diligence, that you may cross over to take immediate possession of the land He has prepared for you!
