Now, notice. In the old days, when God told Moses, “Now, you go, and I’ll send an Angel before you to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him. Obey His Voice, for He will not pardon your transgressions, for My Name is in Him.” That Angel was the Angel of the covenant, which was Christ Jesus. The people, many of them, did not believe it. Those who did not believe, perished. Those who did believe went on into the promised land. And the men who reject Light went into total darkness. And I believe today, those who reject the Holy Spirit in the Light of God, the days of miracles, and so forth, go out back into total darkness. Did you see how Pharaoh’s heart, how dark it got. He did not have nothing to do no more with the Israelites. He showed them no favor, because he hardened his heart against the Light. And men who harden their heart against the Light walk in darkness. Amen.
