<TITLE>12. Par 92-99</TITLE>L-92 This becomes a very wonderful thing to work, on the human body. We appreciate that. They can transfer an eye from one man to another, take those teeny little cords, and take a eye out of a man's socket, and place it over into another man's socket, and that man can see from that eye. That's a wonderful thing.
It used to be if a mother, when she was going to give birth to a baby, and the--the baby could not be born, she was--she was made thus, that the baby could not be born, the mother and baby both died. That was right. But you seldom ever heard of it--it was different--maybe never. But today they could take that mother after she's already in the condition to have the baby, and--and if the--when the mother's even still nearly in--in times of delivery, she--they can take that mother to a room and give her a little anesthetic and remove that child, have a ordinary--a--a birth--take the baby. We appreciate that.

L-94 Tell me one system... You stop up a valve out here somewhere on this water system in the city and watch what happens at the main valve. It'd blow it out. But yet we can cut a leg off, amputate an arm, and by the miracle of God, He'll bypass that blood some other way the second's time and rush it around some other way to save the life of the person. Who can do that? Tell me?
Cut off the artery, cut off the main line out here somewhere in the water when it's pumping from a valve. What will it do? Try it once and find out what happens. There's no other way to bypass. It has to blow back to the valve. If God didn't make a way for this blood to bypass itself, instantly, one backup to the heart you'd be dead. Every time you stuck your finger, it was death instantly. Every time that you cut somewhere that opened up an artery or something, it would be death instantly. Cut off your finger, you'd be dead. That's all. It'd blow right back into your heart again, and it'd kill you. But God...
Now, we think it's wonderful. We think... It is wonderful, and we appreciate how science has--they can tie those arteries and keep them from bleeding. That's all fine. But Who was the One Who designed that? See, we look all over the creation and forget the Creator of it. See? We're looking at the natural things and forget all the--the spiritual things. That's what we do.

L-97 Now, God's prophets they are--have His Word. That's the reason people believe them. That's the reason God said to Moses... He said back there in Genesis, many in Exodus, all the way through, "If there comes one among you who's spiritual or a prophet..." Now, how we going to know these things? He said, "When he says something, and it comes to pass, says something else, it comes to pass, then believe it." See? That's a sign. So He gives His Word, not to leaders, not to dictators, but to prophets.
Khrushchev's not a sign to the world. No, sir. Hitler wasn't a sign to the world. But somewhere, some place God's got a humble prophet waiting for the hour. He's the sign. He's the sign that will condemn the world and will save the church: the prophet.

L-99 Elijah was a sign in his day, the prophet Elijah, to the... He's a--he was a sign of God's Word, judgment to Egypt and deliverance to Israel if they wanted to believe him.
In that sinful day of Elijah when all Israel had went back on God, they'd gone back into sin. They'd forgot the order; they'd forgot about being led out by God, and the great Jehovah that opened the Red Sea and brought them out of Egypt, and a great prophet like Moses among them. They'd forgot it. We forget it. You Methodists forget John Wesley; you Lutheran forget Martin Luther; you Baptists forget John Smith. Many of us forget Charles Finney, the greatest of all of them.
