<TITLE>07. Par 51-61</TITLE>L-51 God saying that, "I'll give you an eternal sign. A virgin shall conceive, and bear a baby." Why, why a baby, why should it be a--a baby? The Creator Himself must come and live in His creation to be a sign to man? Why should it be a baby? Why couldn't He have said, "I'll build a great ladder, and all of you--like Jacob's dream. Or, I'll drop from the heavens, from the corridors of heaven, a string, and give you strength that when you hook yourself into it, I'll lift you up"?

L-53 But He come so simple. And said, "A baby will be born; that'll be a sign. Not only will it be a sign, but it'll be a super sign." A baby. Why, the intelligence of science would laugh in the face of such a thought. But to God, it was a super sign. "A virgin shall conceive, and this baby will be called Immanuel, which by interpretation will be, 'God with us.'" That's the super sign.
God of heaven living with people is the super sign. It would be not a sign only for that day, but for this day and for all days, that God lives with His people. Immanuel, God with us, this is the super sign. This is the eternal sign, the everlasting sign, God gave.

L-55 And why did He become dust, the very dust of His Own creation? The Creator became that, dust of His creation.
Man trying to do big big things; but when God gave a sign, it was a little thing. Man try to deal with big affairs; God deals with small affair. Man tries to say, "Because everyone goes this a-way, let us do like they do in Hollywood." God wants the minority. He wants to--to omit all the big things to receive the little ones.
"A Baby will be born, little Immanuel will be born." God of the creation become part of His own creation. God, the Creator of the heavens and earth, Who made the dust and the trees, and all the things that is, become part of them. That'll be a sign, He will come through the way by a human being.

L-58 Now, He could've come some other way. He could've come by the way of other, of--of other ways He has of coming. But He chose to come this way, to give a sign, the super sign. "A virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and they will call Him Immanuel." Now, what was it for? What reason?
Why didn't He choose to become an Angel? He could've done it. He could've come a--a full matured man. He could've become with a full salute from heaven, with the Angels and all the Beings of heaven; lay down from the corridors of heaven, the golden ladder, and He could've climbed down with an Angel band. He could've did it.

L-61 But He said, "I'll give you a sign, a super sign, an everlasting sign. A virgin shall conceive and bear a Child."
And when He had to select a place that this child would be born. He could've come down the ladder, with all full heaven salute. He could've come down from heaven as an Angel, or come down as a full matured man. But He also, could've come in a king's palace. But He said, "I'll give a sign." And the sign was told to the shepherds, "You'll find Him in the stable, wrapped in swaddling's cloth." That's the super sign, borned over a manure pile, and the stink of the barn, with not even clothes to put on Him: Immanuel. The devil wants to make things big and bright. God keeps things humble. A super sign, "You'll find the baby wrapped in swaddling's clothes, laying in the manger. This will be a sign, the super sign." When He was on earth, He was so poor... How we talk about hard times? Who is this little One? It's Jehovah.
