<TITLE>11. Par 37-39</TITLE>L-37 Now, what did she say? "You are--you are Beelzebub? You have a mental telepathy? You are a fortuneteller?" No, she knowed more about the Gospel than half the preachers in the United States, there a prostitute. She knowed more about it than the educated priest and rabbis of her day. Watch what this prostitute woman done. She looked Him straight in the face and she said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet. We know when the Messiah cometh, He will do these things." Is that the sign of the Messiah? "When the Messiah cometh, we know, we Samaritans, we know this will be the sign of the Messiah. When He comes He will do these things. But who are You?"
Jesus said, "I am He that speaks with you."
If that was the sign of the Messiah yesterday, it's got to be the same today, if He remains the same, declaring Himself. There's both Jew and Samaritan He declared Himself.
What did she do? She ran into the city and said, "Come, see a Man told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah?"
What would we Christians think about it tonight if we'd hear that? Just wonder. She'll probably raise in the day of judgment and condemn many scholars, and teachers, and priests today. She recognized it. And she said, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things I've done, isn't this the Messiah?"
And out come the men, and when they heard Him they were persuaded that was the Messiah.

L-38 Now, notice, He did that--that sign to the Jews, to prove to the Jew, to get the Elected and still see...?... the priest and rabbi, and the unbeliever. Philip, all the rest of them believed Him.
And then, when He made Hisself known to the Samaritan, He did the same thing. But not one time did He ever do it before a Gentile, and forbid it to be done. Why? Two thousand years is come now for the Gentiles to get the training and teaching. But in the end of the Jewish dispensation, before they met chaos; if He declared Himself that way to the Jews to prove He was Messiah, and He acted that way to prove it; He's got to act the same thing at the close of the Gentiles or He isn't the same yesterday, today, and forever. You understand? Raise up your hand if you do. You understand that's true. He must do it.
He couldn't act to the Jews, to declare Hisself that way to be--the Jew, to both... There's only three races of people; that's Jews, Samaritans and Gentiles; Ham, Shem, and Japheth people, the three sons of Noah. That's all there is. So to Ha--to Ham and to Japheth's people, or Shem's people, rather, He's already declared Himself and left the Gentiles to this age, and right in the closing of it. When the sputniks is in the skies and the handwriting's on the wall, and nations are trembling, here He is among us having His picture taken.

L-39 The scientific world stands speechless on it. "No, one can come," He said, "except My Father draws him first." Jesus didn't die to save the entire world; He wanted to, but He died to save those who God by foreknowledge knew would be saved. Not all men will come to Him.
God takes His man but never his Spirit. The devil takes his unbeliever but never the spirit, it remains on the others. And those two spirits are battling it out right now. And He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
One more quotation if you can spare it just a moment. So that you people with just one night and won't have all this chance to get up in the prayer line. Now, listen closely as I close.
