<TITLE>07. Par 23-24</TITLE>L-23 Now, watch what He said. "A little while and the world won't see Me no more." Did He say that? "Yet, ye shall see Me." Now, the world is the unbeliever. We always know it, it's "kosmos" in the Greek which means "the world order." All right. "The world will see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me ("Ye," the church), for I ("I" is a personal pronoun), I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world." Does the Scripture say that? We all know He said that.
Now, how could He manifest Himself now? He said, "I am the--the Vine, ye are the branches." Now, the vine does not bear fruit. It--it gives life to the branch and the branch bears fruit. You people up here in Concord ought to know that with your grapes and so forth, that you--and your fruit. If you go to a grape tree then, or a grape vine, you'd expect to find grapes, if it's a grape vine. The vine won't bear the fruit, but the branches will be bearing grapes. That's right. If you go to an apple tree, it's a good fertile tree, it'll bring forth apples. A pear tree will bring forth pears. A watermelon vine will bring forth watermelons. A pumpkin vine will bring forth a pumpkin. Everything's known in itself. Then the Spirit of God in His church, will reproduce the Life of Christ, if He is the Vine, and we are the branches. Certainly, you see?

L-24 We've changed that. We've made it to joining church, teaching theology, having schools; nothing against that, but you see, it's not what He said. "The works that I do, shall you do also. More than this shall you do, for I go to My Father. A little while and the world won't see Me no more, yet you'll see Me. For I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever."
Here friends is this picture, I guess you was showing awhile, this picture here. They got that in Germany and all around the world. Since a little child, I saw that.
Now, to me if you'll pardon it, I... It's not my picture; I had nothing to do with this part. It's the Angel of the Lord.
Now, how many Bible teachers knows in here, that the Angel of that Lord, that led the children of Israel through the wilderness, was Christ? Is that right? When He was on earth, He said, they was questioning, St. John 6, He said, "Why, You--we know that You're have a devil now, if You say You're before Abraham, before Moses, and before this, that."
He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." Is that right? Who was the I AM? The Angel that talked to Moses in the Pillar of Fire, in the burning bush. He led the children of Israel through the wilderness. Then He was made flesh and dwelled among us, God made flesh. The Bible said He was. God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. He was the Tabernacle which God lived in, borned a virgin birth, and was in this Tabernacle of His Son, manifesting, showing, expressing Himself to the world, Him being the Son of God, that He might bring other adopted sons into the Kingdom.
