<TITLE>16. Par 48-50</TITLE>L-48 How... What was the sign of the Messiah? Who knows what the Messiah sign was to be? A prophet (Is that right?), a discerner of thoughts and foretell. All Jews believe that He was a--the Messiah should be a--a forthteller, He would--He would know what was, and what would be, and what has been; that was the sign. All... God said, "If there be one among you who is spiritual or a prophet, I the Lord will make Myself known to him, speak to him in dreams and in visions. And if what he says comes to pass, then fear that prophet, for I'm with him. But if it doesn't, then don't you hear him; don't fear him at all 'cause I'm not with him." Well, that's just only sense.
And the Jews always, God's chosen people always remembered God spoke to them through the prophets. Hebrews 1 said, "God, in sundry times spoke to the fathers through the prophets, in this last day through His Son, Jesus Christ." Now, in these latter times... All Scripture readers knows that, Hebrews 1, Hebrews 1:1. Now, let's start at the beginning. "God, in sundry times in divers manners spake to the fathers by the prophets; in this last days through His Son, Christ Jesus." Now, what was He? He was the King of prophets. He was the greatest of all the prophets. Because He was The prophet: "The Lord Your God shall raise up a prophet like unto me." How many know that Moses said that in... Yeah. Well then, when He come and told Peter what his name was, Simon, and then--told his name was Peter, when He told Nathanael that He saw him under the tree before he come, Nathanael said, "Truly, thou art the Son of God; You are the King of Israel."

L-49 When He told the woman at the well, said, "Bring Me a drink."
And she said, "Why, you a Jew ask me a Samaritan? We have segregation here. We don't associate together."
Well, He said, "But if you know Who was talking to you, you'd ask Me for a drink. I give you water you don't come to draw here at this well." And He carried the conversation. What was He doing? Contacting her spirit. Then when He found out what her trouble was... How many knows what her trouble was? She had too many husbands. So He said to her, "Go, get your husband and come here."
"Oh," she said, "I--I have no husband."
He said, "You've said truth: for you've had five husbands; and the one you're living with now is not your husband: so you said the truth." Now, watch that woman. She knowed more about God than half the preachers of Chicago. That's right; that's right. She said, "Sir..."

L-50 Now, watch what them preachers said when they seen Him do it. They said, "He's a fortuneteller, Beelzebub."
Jesus said, "I forgive you for that. But someday the Holy Ghost is coming to do the same thing and you speak a word against it, it'll never be forgiven in this world or the world to come." That right?
This woman said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Said, "We know (we Samaritans), we know that when Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things." Well, that'd be the sign of the Messiah. If He's the same yesterday, today and forever, that'd still be the sign of the Messiah. Is that right? "The works that I do, shall you also. I'm with you, even in you, to the end of the world." That right Brother Hicks? See?
"We know Messiah cometh and He will tell us these things, but Who art Thou?" See? "Thou must be a prophet."
He said, "I'm He that speaks to you."
And on that she run into the city and told the men; she said, "Come, see a Man, Who's told me what I've done: isn't this the very Messiah?" And the Bible said the people of Samaria there, believed Jesus because of the woman's testimony. Is that right?
