<TITLE>11. Par 35-37</TITLE>L-35 A... but they rejected the Messiah when He came to them just exactly the way the prophecy said He would come, and done the very things that the Bible said He would do. But He didn't come according to their theology. I hope that don't hurt, but I hope it anchors deep. And they come. He showed His Messiahic sign just exactly the way the Bible said He would do. How many believes that? Sure you do. What was the Messiahic sign? He was a God prophet. See? And then--and when they did it, what did they call that Messiahic sign, can somebody tell me? What did they call it? Beelzebub, a devil, a fortuneteller, because He could perceive their thoughts, knowed what they were thinking, tell them of these things.
And the true Jews, what did they say it was? "That's the sign of the Messiah." Nathanael said, "Truly Thou art the Son of God; truly You're the King of Israel."
Said, "Because I told you I saw you before you come to the meeting, then you--you believe it? You'll--you'll be able to see greater things than this then." See, you must believe first. Believe it, and then you'll see greater things.

L-36 Now, we notice what taken place. But the--the upright, the big churches, the organizations, the Pharisees, the--the Sadducees, and Herodians, and all those, they said, "He's Beelzebub." They had to answer something. They had to tell their congregation, so they said, "He's of the devil." Now, bear that in mind. And they were religious men, holy men, godly men. As far as the world was concerned, one sin against them they would be stoned. Scholars, graduated, seminary students, in a line of clergymen, and were condemned, and Jesus said, "You are of your father the devil." Then don't you condemn the Holy Ghost when It calls you out what you are. See? Blind leading the blind, won't they all fall in the ditch, certainly.

L-37 Watch the Scriptures, watch the promise. Know the hour that's approaching. Those disciples filled with the Holy Ghost, marked with that sign in their foreheads, of that seal of God, they begin to watch and when they seen what Jesus said coming to pass, they got out of there. And let me tell you, you better get out too, brother. Wait till we get through in a few minutes, find out how close we are. Oh, Jesus said that same thing would be taking place just before His coming again. "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." Promised it, sworn by God did and so forth, so it has to be here.
