<TITLE>25. Par 243-249</TITLE>L-243 That Jesus Christ, the Emmanuel here on earth, with all the Scriptures from everywhere... As He walked on the earth, He knew that He was going to raise up the third day. Why? Because David, under inspiration, said, "I will not leave His soul in hell; neither will I suffer my holy One to see corruption." He said, "Therefore my heart rejoiced and my flesh was made... hath made glad." When Jesus, under one word, unction, speak--spoke by God through a man that had his ups-and-downs, David. David said, "I will not leave His soul in hell; neither will I suffer My holy One to see corruption."
Jesus said, "Tear down this temple, and I will raise it up in three days." Hallelujah! He believed the immortal Word of God. Yes, sir. No matter...
"He didn't, He didn't say that," you say, "Well, you know, He died on Friday, and He raised up. What about 'three' days?"
Jesus knew in seventy-two hours comes mortal--comes corruption to the body. He knew, sometime between those three days, sometime in there, God was going to raise it up. Because David, under inspiration, said that He would raise it up. Hallelujah! One Scripture wrote on the Bible, He walked forward as a hero to death, knowing that God would keep His Word: what God thought, first, and then expressed. Hallelujah!

L-247 So today, I believe that that Lord Jesus that ascended up yonder on high is coming again in like manner, as you seen Him go. And He's coming for the redeemed that's born again, Blood-washed. "As He went away, so shall He come." It's expressed in the Bible. Kings may rise; difference may come, the thunder may stop the earth, famine, atomic bombs, and whatever it is. But, "Jesus the Son of God will come again in like manner as you seen Him go," for it's God's inspired Word that said so.
I truly believe that the God would heal the body of the sick, because he said, "He was wounded for my transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed." Let teachers, theology, whatever there might be raise up, seminaries rise and fall, but God's Word will move just the same. Yes, sir. God said so. And before God could say it, it had to be a thought. And God thought the whole thing through, and expressed it in His Words, and it had to materialize.

L-249 Not long ago, I was reading, or seen a place, where a girl was putting these dials on a watch, dipping it in the radium. And she happened to lick this, the brush to her tongue. It killed her. Years and years later, they dug up her skull; and they put their scopes in their ears, and things, and stuck it down in the skull. And you could hear that radium, "rutt-rutt-rutt." It has no end. It just keeps moving on and on and on and on. There is no end to radium. It keeps moving on. After years and years and years, and the skull was nothing but a white bone, the radium was still moving through there, because she dipped it into her mouth, a portion of it like that, and radium moves on.
How much more then will the eternal God, through His Godhead Being, and the spoken powers of His Word, when He speaks His Word. Times will change; people will change; nations will change; worlds will change; but that Word moves on and on forever and ever, 'cause it's God's thought before it was expressed. Hallelujah.
