A Peculiar People

(An excerpt from FATHER DIVINE'S Sermon GIVEN: 3-30-57 A.D.F.D.)



The Mount of the House of the Lord

The Mount of the House of the Lord

I will take these bodies and redeem then from among men and I will put MY Covenant in then that they may be a sample and an example among men and I will not have to ask them to do MY Command.

(At this point one of the Secretaries turned the pages of the Holy Bible to the New Covenant as found in Jeremiah 31- 31-34 and reads as follows:)

Behold the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake., although I was an husband unto them., saith the LORD:
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God., and they shall be my people.
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying., Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

(FATHER continues speaking as follows:)

And I will not have to say to the house of Israel.,

'Know the Lord" for they all shall know ME from the least to the greatest.'

These covenants will purify you and purge you of all sin and abominations mentally and spiritually. What says the mystery concerning the Scripture?

'I will make unto them a peculiar people, pure, incorruptible and undefiled.'

(N. D. . . . . 11-12-60 A.D.F.D. p.17)
