<TITLE>13. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 Now, Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever; therefore, if He will manifest Himself in the same manner... Now, if He did that to manifest Himself to a Jew, and to the Samaritan, and forbid it to be done before the Gentile (For Paul turned to the Gentiles years later.), then I want to ask you something, at the closing of the Gentile dispensation, Christ is obligated, if He is the same, to manifest Himself the same before the Gentile, as He did before the Jew, to make Hisself known that He's still alive. He is the same Lord Jesus, alive tonight in our midst, working signs, and wonders, and miracles.

L-45 We have His picture here on paper. Many of you has seen it. Might... We don't have time to tell you of it. That's not my picture; I'm your brother. But it's been questioned. "What was that?" To me it was the same God that led the children of Israel by a Pillar of Fire. We all know that that was the Logos, that the Angel of the Covenant, which was Christ, that led the children of Israel. Christ declared it to be so. He said He was the I AM, that He was in the burning bush, and He was the Rock that was in the wilderness.
That Pillar of Fire was made flesh and dwelled among us. And when He was here, He said, "I come from God, and I go back to God." And after His death, burial, and resurrection, when He appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus, He had again, the same Logos in a Pillar of Fire, manifested Hisself, and remember Paul said, "Who is it, Lord?" The light was so bright that it would have put Paul's eyes out, yet those standing by couldn't see it. It was a reality to those who God would reveal it to, but to others who stood by, didn't know nothing about it... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... the revelation came.

L-46 They took him into the temple, and the Urim and Thummim, which was the breastplate of Aaron, had the twelve stones of children of Israel. When they began to prophesy, or tell their dreams, and if those lights conglomerated together, and made a supernatural... God always answers by supernatural. And He manifest Himself through those lights, that it was supernatural. If the Urim and Thummim spoke back, any Bible reader knows, that they accepted it, that it was of God. And if it didn't manifest itself in the lights, then it wasn't of God.
Now when, Aaronic priesthood closed, the Urim and Thummim went with it, that Urim and Thummim. But God has another Urim and Thummim; that's His Word. And when a prophet prophesies, or a preacher preaches, or an evangelist preaches, or a dream is said, or whatever it is, if it isn't according to the Word, it's wrong. This is God's Urim and Thummim. And if that Angel, Who has declared Himself, and has proven, if He doesn't, in the human flesh declare Himself, to be the same nature, with the same Spirit, working the same signs, that He did when He was here on earth, then it's the wrong angel. But if He declares Himself to be the same, it's Christ in the church manifesting Himself in these last days. That's as clear as I know the Word.
