<TITLE>09. Par 73-80</TITLE>L-73 But surely there is some way to know what's Truth, because a Scripture here says, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Now, you can't take that Scripture and take it out of the Bible. You've got to leave it in the Bible, 'cause it belongs in there. And if It says He's the same, It doesn't mean He's partially the same; It means that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Now, then, we want to see Him. I'd like to see Him come in the building tonight. I would like to see Him. Wouldn't you? We said awhile ago, we would. We would like to see Him. Well, then if He promised it to us, why can't we? That's the... Now, if we'll just open our eyes and our minds just for a while, I believe that we'll understand, and He will come in and show Himself with us. Now, and then we could go away tonight, saying, "We would see Jesus."

L-75 Where did they find Jesus in the Old Testament? Right... In the New Testament, I mean? Right with the Word, because He was the Word. Now, He wasn't the Word in the way they had put It together, but He was in the Word in the way that God put It together, because He was the living Word.
Now, when He met Satan, He met him on the Word. He--He had--He was God manifested in flesh; but when He met Satan He never used His power of--of His Godhead, what He was. He said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.' It is written, 'Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall thou serve.'" When He met Satan, He met him with the Word, because He was the Word. Now, the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Now, Moses spoke of Him in the Word. Now, in Deuteronomy the 18th chapter, 15th verse...

L-77 Moses wrote the five Books of the Old Testament, Exodus and Genesis; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Numbers. He wrote the five Books of--of the Old Testament. In there by inspiration from God, he wrote and told what was, then he wrote and told what would be. And what he said would be, come to pass; so we know that what he said was, is true. For a man can look this way and see what's coming to pass, and it does come to pass, then what he said back there was certainly inspirational too.

L-78 Now, the Jews were all taught to believe their prophets. They do yet. As Paul said, "Jews seek signs, and Greeks wisdom, and so forth. We preach Christ crucified."
Now, the Bible had taught those Jews, "If there be one among you who's spiritual, or a prophet, I the Lord will make Myself known to him. And--and in prophecies and visions, dreams, and so forth, and what he says comes to pass, then hear him." Now, that's only sense. "But if it doesn't come to pass like he said, then don't hear him." 'Cause God can't lie; He's God. But if a man says a thing, and it comes to pass, and then you watch it in him, coming to pass, coming to pass, coming to pass, then you know that can't be that man. That's got to be God. So God told the prophets--or told the Jews to listen to that man, because he was a prophet sent from God.

L-80 Now, Moses was that major prophet. We haven't time to go into his life to show how he typed Christ. But he was a major prophet. And he said that, "The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet likened unto me. It shall come to pass that whosoever will not hear this One will be cut off from amongst the people." Now, now, if Moses spoke, and other prophets... And Moses, remember, wrote Genesis too. From the garden of Eden, "the Seed of the woman would bruise the serpent's head," and all the promises back in there of a coming Messiah, Moses wrote it. And then the other prophets, major, such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, and so forth, they all spoke of the coming Messiah. Prophets, which, their words come to pass, now, they spoke and said He would be a Prophet when He come. "He'd be a Prophet likened unto me," Moses said. That's what He would be.
Now, if we would want to see Jesus today, and the Bible said, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever," then there's only one way to do it. Not...
