<TITLE>12. Par 102-112</TITLE>L-102 What struck those prophets? What inspired them, that perfect accuracy? Not only that, but the prophets told what He would do. The prophets even saw Him born, where He'd be born, how He'd be born, not an ordinary baby, just a baby born to some woman; It said He would be born a mysterious way: He would be borned of a virgin, "A virgin shall conceive." What would strike a mortal man to make him see that hundreds of years before it happened, perfectly accurate, exactly on the line? Talk about testimony of a supreme Being, a living God. Not only that, but told where He'd be born, and how he would be born. Told what the world would say about Him. Told the very signs and things that would follow Him to prove He was Messiah. Proved that He'd be rejected, and even in the Spirit, groaned His Words from the cross hundreds of years before He was born.

L-104 David in the Spirit, as I like to refer it to it, as Jesus said there, "Why did David in the Spirit call Him Lord?" David, not David, but David in the Spirit, there's a lot of difference between David, and David in the Spirit. There's a lot of difference between church, and church in the Spirit. "Why did David in the Spirit call Him Lord, if He was his Son, saying, 'The Lord said to My Lord, Set Thou on My right hand'?" They could ask--answer Him no more, ask Him no more questions after that.
But David in the 22nd Psalm fell into a Spirit, the Spirit, and when he did, he even gave the Words that He groaned at the cross. "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? All My bones, they stare at Me. And how they pierced My hands and My feet."
Yet, "He was wounded for our transgression," here comes the other prophet, "bruised for our iniquity; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we were healed."

L-107 The accuracy, the perfection of those prophets, not one Word did they speak about Him but what come to pass. The last seven prophesies give of Him was answered in the last seven hours on the cross. How that every Word was fulfilled, not one thing was left undone.
What does it speak of? A supreme Intelligence. It wasn't those men. Those men were just men like you and I. But they were inspired by a supreme Being which was giving testimony that we in this generation, and in the generations to come, and all the generations between them and here, could look upon His Word and know that they are true. It's a testimony that the Word of God is Truth.

L-109 All His works are perfect. They're perfect and on time. They don't miss one hour. Sometimes we think they're going to, but they don't. After it's over, we seen it couldn't have come any quicker; it couldn't have been any better. It's perfect and on time.
Even in our day today, when we see these visions happen, and of things take place, and they are foretold, and we wonder when they'll be fulfilled, what will take place, but we find out that they are perfect and on time, exactly.
How could I have thought of my mother, how that I seen her old and shaking. But then when He give me the vision, and I see the condition she is in now, I glorify God. I know that she'll be again. She's not dead; she sleeps. She's in Christ.

L-112 How we see that God's fore-speak these things. The last time when I was in your pulpit, or the pulpit here, I told of a vision the Lord gave me about going up into the north and what would take place. And how those fellows, coming down the mountain, saying, "Brother Branham, you mean to tell me, somewhere between here and right yonder, half a mile, that there'll be a grizzly bear, silver-tipped? Never seen one before... But you'll receive it before you get there?"
I said, "That's according to His Word."
And it happened just that way. Why? It gives testimony that He's still God, that all of His promises are true. God gives testimony, and His testimonies are true. He gives witness, and the testimony bears record of His witness. It speaks of an Intelligence. Yes.
