The Family Altar

32... In the Old Testament, the high priest went in once a year, once a year, and that, bearing the blood before him. He was anointed. Oh, I like to study that, how he was anointed with the—with the anointing oil. I believe David cried, “How sweet it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. It’s like the precious anointing oil that was on the—the beard of Aaron, it run all the way to the hems of his garment.”
Oil makes things run easy, soft. You know, when a man gets really anointed and ready for God, he’s just flexible. You know when he’s not, he sets back real stiff, you know…
33 The high priest, once a year, went in one time a year with the Blood before him and worshipped in the Shekinah Glory, all anointed. (Oh, I love that.) Anointed, walking…And he had garments on that had a pomegranate and a bell. And he had to walk with that in such a step, that played, “Holy, holy, holy unto the Lord. Holy, holy, holy unto the Lord,” packing the Blood before him as he went.
What a beautiful picture of the church today. Walking into the…And you know the reason he made them bells? The people on the outside didn’t know whether he was alive or not unless he was making some noise. I’m telling you, brother…mmmmm. Our dead church, that don’t make any noise. Ah, something’s happened. Yes, sir. They haven’t entered into that holy of holy. God is—everywhere you find God, you find a lot of noise. It’s exactly right. When Jesus went into Jerusalem, they broke down palms; them Galilean peasants begin to sing, “Hosanna, to Him that cometh in the Name of the Lord.”
Some of those Pharisees said, “Oh, that makes chills go up my back. That’s sacrilegious. Oh don’t you do…Make them hold their peace.”
Jesus said, “If they hold their peace, the rocks will immediately cry out.” Something has to take place when Christ comes in.
