Now, when He brought the children of Israel out of the wilderness, out into the wilderness, He led them by a Pillar of Fire. Is that right? The Bible said He did, and He went before them. That was the Anointing, the Holy Spirit, Christ, that went before the children of Israel. Well, if He’s the same as He was then, He’s the same Man, the same Person; He’s everything that He was then, He—He is now. And as He led the Church then in the natural, He’s leading the Church today in the spiritual. Is that right? Do you believe that we’re in the wilderness? We are. Are we on a road to the promised land? Now, the…When they got over into Canaan, did not represent Heaven. They had wars in Canaan and so forth. It represented the Millennium. See? So we’re going into that. And we’re on our road now to the Millennium. I believe it. And I believe the same Jesus Christ that led back there, leads today. He’s in a spiritual form. “I came from God; I go to God. A little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet ye shall see Me, for I will be with you even in you to the end of the world.” Is that right? “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Now, then if He is, then He’s going to make Hisself manifested and known.
