<TITLE>08. Par 25-27</TITLE>L-25 And today when man with nail scars in their hands, pictures being taken to prove some person's popularity... Listen, if Jesus has left the heaven, the Bible said, "When they say, Lo, he's in the desert: lo, he's here; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh from the east, and shineth even into the west; so shall the Son of man be when He comes. And every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess."...?...
All this idea of oil running out our hands, and blood coming through hands, Divine, what happened to the Blood of Jesus Christ? If anything else is Divine... I tell you any real gift of God will point to the finished works of God's eternal Word on the Bible. Amen. Hear me; I speak THUS SAITH THE LORD. That's right.
Go to the Word. Stay in the Word. And watch, the Bible speaks that in the last days things would rise up and false prophets would deceive the very elect if possible. Keep it in the Word. Let it be from God's Word. If it's not from God's Word, don't believe it. Just walk away. Don't criticize it; just walk away from it. That's right. Don't listen to it.

L-26 Now, when this great architect come down to build this bridge, the first thing that he did, he told them that he could do it, and he's a man of reputation. So what he did, the first thing after he was given a contract, he knew if he could ever build that bridge and make it successful, that his reputation would be greater than any reputation for building this famous bridge.
So the first thing he done, he selected first the very best that he could find of architect of skilled labor. And everything that he went at, he test-proved everything. Even all the steel that went into the bridge, it all had to be considered, how long it would stand the weather, how long it would stand the salt, how long it would stand the storm, and if a fire struck, how much, how much it would expand in hot weather. And everything had to be tested.
That's the way God did when He made this salvation bridge for us to cross from earth to glory; He tested. Every servant that comes to Him must be time tested and proven. Every son that cometh to God must first be tried of God and tested, child, trained and brought into Christ must first be tried. The prophet must first be tried. He said, "If a prophet speaks something and that what he says comes not to pass, don't hear him." The time-tested thing...

L-27 And if that man building that bridge, so time-tested everything, even to the bolts that he put into the bridge, he put a magnet on them to see if they were genuine steel or not. When he went to fix the great tower... They said that in the middle of the water... They said that it taken him, I don't know how long to sink this column down into there, and to be sure that nobody lost their life in doing it, as far as humanly possible. And he dug down, he struck one layer; he tested the stone, it wasn't the right kind. He blowed deeper and deeper and deeper, because he knowed this great arch out here in the middle would be the thing that would give, that on the bridge, it has to be set on the right kind of rock.
