<TITLE>03. Par 11-15</TITLE>L-11 I do. And I remember when It spoke to me as a little boy, and down through life how I described It years before they ever took the picture of It. And now, they've got three official pictures of It: one from Germany and two from the United States, of the picture of the Angel of the Lord which scientists of Germany and scientists of the United States has put their seal upon it, that It's a supernatural Being, described just exactly, that Pillar of Fire.
To my opinion, and if I'm wrong God forgive me, and as your brother, I think It's the same Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel. I'm not saying that because It had Its picture taken with me; because It's not to me, It's to the Church, the entire Church.

L-12 Now, if we notice, we know that it was the Angel of the Covenant that--that led the children of Israel, which was the Logos, or Christ, the Spirit of Christ. And when He was here on earth, He said, "I came from God, and I go to God."
And then after His death, burial, and resurrection, Paul on his road down to Damascus was stricken down by a Light, same Pillar of Fire. None of the rest of them saw It. Paul saw It. It was so real to him till It put out his eyes for a season. Peter, It came in through, a Light come through the bars into the prison and led him out of the prison.
Now, we see that Scripturally, it looks like it's the same Pillar of Fire. And watch today, It does the same kind of works that It did when It was in our blessed Saviour the Lord Jesus.

L-13 And how that goes over the head of people, I--I just can't understand it. But you know, it's certain things that it has to go and then after it's all over, the people will say, "Well, I--I didn't really see it that way." It has to be afterwards, just like George J. Lacy said, the FBI head of the fingerprint and--and documents of--of--of photographs that said, that examined the picture.
Now, in that... Here sometime ago a vision came and told me about going to Africa. And I thought that it meant go to Africa first, then to India. And the Lord spoke to me and told me to go to Africa first, and then to India. Well I thought that compared with the vision.

L-14 And then I forgot about it and went to India first and then He condemned me at Portuguese, as you know the story. And said, "I thought I said to you 'Go to Africa first.'" And then I was condemned. And I thought all the time, and now it just comes up, the revelation begins to push me for Africa, and I read in the vision, and the vision really said, "Go to India first and back to Africa." It's just exactly the way it's going to happen.
Now, see, the Lord spoke to me, knowing that I would fail, but the vision can't fail. It's what God has already said and it cannot fail. The vision, I've got it wrote in an flyleaf of my Bible. I will bring it down maybe and let you see it. How that it really reads that I will go to India first and then back to Africa; but He told me to go to Africa first and then to India, knowing that I would fail, but the vision can never fail. God has spoke it. It's got to be that way.

L-15 Oh, what a day that we live in, what a hour that we're now confronted with, the end time. The thing of it is that people look today just like in our text tonight, "Where did this come from? How's this wisdom, the carpenter son?" They don't realize that it isn't the person; it's the Christ, the God.
Jesus said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe, Me not. But if I do the works of My Father, if you can't believe Me, believe the works." See? And then it's written, "Although you done so many things, yet they could not believe because Isaiah said, 'Eyes and can't see, and ears and can't hear.'" Until He was dead, buried, and rose again before they really, the world realized that that was the Son of God.
