<TITLE>12. Par 48-50</TITLE>L-48 So the Pharisees had their way about it; but here come God with His way about it. See? The Pharisees thinking it'd be in this way, He was altogether out of the Scriptures of their thinking; but He was perfectly in the Scriptures with His own way of thinking. So you have to have the mind that was in Christ be in you to know the Scripture. And now, they...
Jesus said, now, "They are They that testify of Me." Now, we could take till--run another hour or two, and never even get over the things that's wrote about Jesus, all ways.
He's the woman's Seed from the garden. Isaiah 9:6 is one told about His birth, and all about the virgin shall conceive; and all we talk about. But now, being we'll bypass that, the Scriptures that talk about how He would come. You all know they missed that by a million miles, how He was born. Lowly, setting upon the foal of an ass coming in, and they failed to see it. Come out of the little tribe of Judah and so forth. By "Bethlehem of Judaea, art thou...?... and least amongst all the princes, but out of thee shall come the--the Christ, the Deliverer." And they failed to see all of that.

L-49 Now, but we're going to bypass all of that and take it down to the Scripture that testified of His works, because He just said, "If you can't believe Me, believe the works that I do, for they testify of Me." In other words, "You can't believe that I was borned of virgin birth. You can't believe all these things that's spoke of the Scripture. If all that's blinded you, and you can't see it, then test that the works that I do testify of Me, 'cause they're written in the Scripture. Now. You see? 'Cause He is the Word. And He was the Word in the Old Testament; He's the Word in the New Testament; and He's the Word now, the same yesterday, today, and forever. So He can't change it. It's always the Word.

L-50 Now, His works... Now, if we would turn back into the Old Testament for tonight and take one thing that was testified--His works testified of... We're going to turn and you put it down, you're writing it down, Deuteronomy the 18th chapter. Just read the whole chapter through. It'd be--do you good to read the whole thing: Deuteronomy 18. Now, we know that Moses forsook Egypt, not fearing the king's wrath, and he followed the Angel of God; 'cause he said he esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than that of Egypt.
Now, watch it. The people that Egypt looked upon as slaves and mud daubers, Moses saw them the elected children of God.
Now, he was a called prophet. Prophets are foreknown. They are placed in the church, like the offices, the five offices in the church. First there's apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, evangelists. See? Those offices God puts in the church. Then there's nine spiritual gifts in that church, which is speaking in tongues, prophecies, and so forth like that. Lot of difference between prophets (a man giving a prophecy) and a prophet. A prophecy has to be judged by two or three judges; a prophet is borned a prophet and raised a prophet. See? It's foreordained of God for that age.
