<TITLE>05. Par 19-23</TITLE>L-19 Now, look. Before He every put the printed Word, and this is the mind of God. Here it is; this is the mind of God that He thought before the foundation of the world was ever laid. It is. That's the reason He could put It on printed Word and say what would be, because He saw it before the foundation of the world and knew just what it would be and spoke it out.
And then He handed down His knowledge to the prophets, and they wrote it out, and year by year and century by century, we see it coming to pass just exactly. God giving us shadows of the old to foreshadow the new, and we see it Word by Word being fulfilled. What a faith we ought to have established in God.

L-20 Now, watch Him; Christ being slain before the foundation of the world... When God looked down and saw the only thing that would save lost man, He said... I don't know if this is the Words, but it had to be something like this, "Man cannot be saved, because he's is going to sin. But I look down through there and I see tens of thousands of honest hearts will want to come. I see thousands of people who will want to be saved and not want to go into this horrible destruction that I'm going to have to make for the devil and his angels, 'cause they've got to go into everlasting punishment." And honest hearted people will see that.
Now, I will have a man by the name of Esau born. There will be one Jacob, and Jacob will be, not so good to begin with, but in his heart he will love the things of God. So I will choose Jacob.

L-21 He saw you, and He knowed that you wanted to be saved. So He said, "The only thing I can do is to go down Myself and have a Son born or a body of flesh and be made like them."
The antidote is for God Himself to become sin, that He might pay the price, because it take would the highest thing there is to lift man from the lost condition. And look. He is above every Angel, every Archangel. The Highest there was come down here on earth, and lived among men and went to the lowest city in the earth: Jericho.

L-22 And was so low till the littlest man in the city had to look down upon Him, Zacchaeus, and then died for man's sins, come in the way of a stable, poor. The richest (Oh, I hope you get it.) the richest become the poorest.
Even on a stormy night, said, "The birds have nests, and the foxes has holes, but I don't even have a place to lay My head."
The highest that all heavens had heard, become the lowest of all lows, even to the animal life, was privileged to Him, above Him; as far as comforts of life. Not only that, but in His death, He suffered a death like no one ever suffered. Never any man ever suffered with such a broken heart till His Blood and water separated before His death.

L-23 Poorest? From the richest to the poorest, from the most blessed to the most horrible suffering. And then besides that went down into the very lowest depths of the lowest hell, bearing our sins, and got the end of the string, or the end of the rope from the kink, there lifted it up in the resurrection and connected it with the other part of eternity, and made a highway of holiness, that the unclean could come on and be cleansed to the fountain filled with Blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins; when sinner's plunged beneath the flood, lose all their guilty stain.
Come onto the highway, and someday He Who was at the beginning of time shall stand as the Ancient of Time and will pull the great Gospel cord. And all that's on that highway from the beginning of time, to the ancient of time, to the end of time shall be lifted up as He draws time out of existence into an eternity. You see it?
