<TITLE>12. Par 84-89</TITLE>L-84 Our prophetic calendar brings us to 360 days as we use now in the Scriptures. We have exactly 483 (There it is.)--483. Here we have exactly proof of the prophecy, exactly the truth. For from the time of the going forth to build the temple until the destroying... Or when they rejected Christ and killed Him in A.D. 33--when Christ was killed is exactly 483 years. Now, from the going forth of the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem was determined seven weeks, which meant forty-nine years, and forty-nine years hit it exactly. Well, from the rebuilding of the temple to the Messiah was 438 years, so 434 years and 434 times 49 makes exactly 483 years. It hit it on the nose exactly to the day, from day to day. Amen. There you are.
Messiah the Prince shall come. See? Seven times sixty-nine is 484 years exactly; it hit it on the nose. So then we know perfectly, we know exactly that that Scripture is right. Here it is. But you see, all these...

L-86 When God had the antediluvian world and destroyed it by water, He changed the astronomy date and then let the Romans come in and make up their calendar, which it hits, and jumps, and so forth. And I guess that in--even in the encyclopedia where I been reading...
Say, by the way, Brother Kenny Collins, is he in the building this morning, Kenneth Collins? You know when you sent me that big bunch of encyclopedia? You remember that? You sent me over there almost a truck load of it. I thought, "What in the world would a greenhorn like me do with all that?" You know, the Lord was leading you, Kenny. That's where I got the information, right out of that old encyclopedia: Time. And I was studying. And Becky uses them in her school. I got them down in my study, down in my den room downstairs. And we went down there and got it, and there we looked it up, and find it exactly, drawed all the calendars and times that's ever been. See? So we got it.
There it is, exactly 483 years from the going forth of the commandment to restore the--to restore the building till the time of Prince Messiah was rejected, makes exactly 483 years by the calendar.

L-89 Now, you see, we using this same calendar right over here, because if God used this calendar here, then He's got to use it the rest of the time through the Bible. Is that right? God doesn't change. So if seven weeks was forty-nine years, seven weeks again is forty-nine years. One week is seven years (See?), so it makes it just perfectly. And if it hit it exactly to the dot there, it'll hit exactly to the dot again. Amen. Oh, my. That gets me all stirred up. Oh, I--I love--I love to know what I'm talking about. I--I--I love it, because...
Like the old fellow said, down there in Kentucky, to me, said, "I like to hear somebody talking who knows what they're talking about."
I said, "I do too."
He said, "That's what's the matter with you preachers. You don't know what you're talking about."
"Well," I said, "I appreciate your compliment, but--but there's some things we do know what we're talking about." I know that I'm borned again. I know that I've passed from death unto Life. I know there is a God, because I've talked to Him. I've had Him talk through me, and speak with me, and speak to others, and tell me about others; and I know that He's God. That's right. He was so nice to come down and let me have my picture taken with Him where the scientific world can't deny it. And I turned over in the Scripture and seen that's just exactly to fulfill this church age: exactly what takes place. So that I know that we're here. Amen.
