But where Balaam failed, to see that Brazen Serpent and that smitten Rock going before Israel, making atonement. It was God’s calling, God’s election. They were God’s people. Hallelujah! God had called them and separated them, and put a Serpent before them (as an atonement) and a smitten Rock, and Balaam failed to see That. In the day the modern preacher fails to see the power of the Holy Ghost, the smitten Jesus Christ, that we are in His Body, by one Spirit are we all baptized into one Body and become members of that Body. And that’s what the modern man failed to see in there. Before that Holy Ghost church moving on, they fail to see that, that smitten Rock, that Brazen Serpent going before the church, making an atonement. Balaam failed to see It.
