<TITLE>13. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 Now, does she know more about it than the preachers do? Preachers will come, and listen, and say, "Ah, nonsense to that."
That woman saw it, and she said, "That's the sign of the Messiah." Went into the city and said, "Come, see this Man." And remember, He didn't do any miracles, He just told them, direct to Who He was, and that was the sign that He let them know that He was the Messiah, 'cause Philip went down a little later on from that and held a revival and healed the sick. But that was Jesus yesterday. He's got to be the same.

L-47 Now remember, He never did that before any Gentile. He did it only to the Jew and Samaritan. And a Samaritan was a half breed which did believe in Jehovah, but Gentiles were heathen. But the Bible said, the prophet said, "There'll be a day that it won't be neither night nor dark, dark nor light, but in the evening time, it shall be Light." Now the same Christ that brought forth His power and glory on the east... And as the sun travels east west, it's been a dark day. We've had organizations. We've made great scholars. We've got people to confess Jesus to be Christ. They've been saved from their sins and so forth, but remember, civilization has traveled with the sun. Civilization begin in the east. It's went west. And now, east and west has joined together. But the prophet said, "It shall be Light in the evening."
Now, the same Jesus that made Hisself known to the Jews and the Samaritans, which was looking for Him to come in that day... The Gentiles wasn't looking for Him to come, 'cause they were heathens; but they were looking for Him to come, and that's the way He manifested Himself. Then if He lets the Gentiles in this day go through with just their church organizations, and their big crowds, and their members, and so forth, and all their theology, then He did wrong when He manifested Hisself to both Jew and Samaritan and don't do the same to the Gentile.

L-48 At the close of their age, He manifested Hisself to us. He's got to do the same in the close of the Gentile age, or He did wrong when He made Hisself known back there that way. What did He say? "A little while and the world won't see Me no more, yet ye shall see me for I (is a personal pronoun), I'll be with you, even in you to the end of the world. And the works that I do, shall you do also: Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever."
One more Scripture I want to quote to you. There was a day when a woman (He'd passed over her), going up to a--a man's house to heal his little daughter that was dead... And there was a little woman with a blood issue, setting up on the hill. She said,"I believe He's a holy Man. If I can only touch His garment, I'll be made well." And she come down, and she milled through the crowd, until she touched His garment.

L-49 Now the Palestinian garment, had an underneath garment, and the outside garment hung loose; it's a robe. Now, I've never feeled if you touch the border... It was a border. You touch the border of my coat, I never feel it physically. And that big loose garment hanging on Him, and at the tail of it, the border of it, He never felt it whenever the woman crawled through there and touched His garment--never felt it physically. And He stopped. He said so. And He looked around. He said, "Who touched Me?"
And Peter rebuked Him. (Now, a rebuke, is to get sharp with Him.) When otherwise something like, "What are You talking about, Lord? 'Who touched You?' Well, look at all this crowd that's shaking your hand and patting you on the back, 'Hello Reverend, How are you... ' so forth. 'What will you do for us?' 'Who touched You?'" Why, he rebuked Him.
But what did Jesus say? "I perceive that I have gotten weak. Virtue has gone from me. (Virtue's strength.) "I perceive that I got weak." And He looked around and the little woman was standing way out in the audience. And He found her, because it was her faith. She'd been--she had touched with a different kind of a touch.
