<TITLE>10. Par 94-102</TITLE>L-94 In other word, "John, you know Who I am. I am the High Priest. That's true, John, and I have need to be baptized of thee. But we've got to fulfill all righteousness. And I have need to be baptized of thee now to fulfill the Word of God, because all the Word's got to be fulfilled. And we are the lights of the day, and it's up to us to fulfill all this. And I know that your righteousness and your desire is to fulfill the Word. It'd becoming to us. We are the lights."
The light of every age should do the same thing. We know what's to be fulfilled. You who are spiritual and know the Word of God, you see what God has promised. Now, the Word will not come just easy, but It comes by observation; you've got to press your way in to do It. But yet, it behooveth us; it is becoming to us to fulfill all God's righteousness. We must do it.

L-96 And now, Jesus did recognize in John, that John was a true prophet. The Word had spoke of John, and He knew that he was absolutely the prophet of the hour. And John knew that Jesus was the Messiah of the hour. And they both clearly had an understanding.
Oh, if the Church of the living God could only get that into their heads this morning and their hearts; that the Church would not be separated by denominational barriers, that differences in creeds and colors, and so forth; that we might come together in the Name of the Lord Jesus, not having anything to bear us away from the true Word of the living God; and walk straight down that line of Scripture to fulfill all God's righteousness of today...
For anyone knows that we are living in the evening Light. The prophet said, "It shall be Light in the evening time." And so we know that we're living in that hour, the hour of the evening Light. So the Lord God help us to realize that.

L-99 Let's go back just for a little bit, and take up some characters that knew their position in their day, and was willing to stand criticism or anything else, that the Word of God might be fulfilled.
Let's take, for instance, Noah and his day. It was becoming of Noah, after he had met God and had knowed God's plan for the day.
Now, you cannot do anything unless you know what you are doing. You must know that it is the will of God. You must know that it is His plan and His desire, and it's revealed to you, then there's nothing going to stop it.

L-102 Now, Noah knew, because he had not got his ministry from some school of education, but he had talked face to face with God. And he knew that there was coming a flood. He knew that the rains would pour out of the skies, like rivers opening up, although it was firmly against scientific matters in that day. The scientists, no doubt, criticized Noah, and said, "We can scientifically prove to you that there's no water up there."
For they were a great age then, greater than we are today, more scientific than we are today. You know, Jesus referred to it, "As it was in the days of Noah..." How they built the sphinxes and the pyramids, and things that we could not touch building today. And they were great scientists. They had colors and things, and embalming fluid in that day, that they could make a mummy. We could not do it today if we had to. They were farther advanced than we are. And they could prove that there was no water there.
But just the same, it was becoming to Noah, after he'd knowed the plan of God, that he hammered away on the ark, just the same, for he knowed that only that ark would be the only thing that would float. No matter, if it was scientifically proven there was no water there, if the Word of God had said it would rain, it's going to rain.
