Question

How could Moses smite the rock the second time if it was against God's will?

Answer

[Blank spot on tape—Ed.]…?…house is given for the glory of God. Now, as I say, this being our last night together maybe for some time, you heard me make this statement, that from anything…I see nothing left that I did not do if he stayed there, unless I knew that the person was going to die, I would reveal that. But do you know, you can get in trouble with that? Do you know Moses did? Moses had power to smite the rock, even the second time, which was firmly against the will of God. And he even broke the whole program of God. Is that right? But he had power before God to do it. He smote the rock first, and the water didn’t come, and he smote it again and called for the water. And—and I never did think that he…?…do not…Many of us know that that wasn’t the will of God. But the prophet had power to do it. But it kept him from going over into the promised land with the children of Israel. See?
