<TITLE>19. Par 67-69</TITLE>L-67 Look what she done. She left the water pot. She run into the city, and she said to those men," Come, see a Man that told me the things I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah." In other words, isn't this the sign that the Messiah is to show?
Look at the difference, when that Light, that Spirit, swept across that little predestinated seed laying there to--ordained to Eternal Life. Them religious teachers, it never bothered them a bit. They thought so much of their way of doing things, that this couldn't... Had to be their way, or no way at all.
But when it struck that little prostitute, she'd been ordained to Life. She said, "We know; we are taught; we believe. (Amen.) We know that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things. Who art Thou?"
He said, "I am He."
That was enough. That was it. Here she saw the sign done. She knowed it was Messiah. She run into the city and told the men, "Come, see this Man. Isn't this the very sign that the Messiah is supposed to do?" See? And the Bible said the people of that city believed on Him because of the testimony of the woman. He never had to do one more thing. The woman witnessed it's the truth. "He told me I had five husbands, and you men know that I have." That's it. And He was Messiah.

L-68 Now, if that was the way they knowed Him yesterday, and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever... You say, "What about yesterday?" Paul was writing the Hebrews in the Bible time. Yesterday it was God that was in the prophets. Do you believe that? Look at David going up over the mountain, a rejected king, weeping. About five hundred years after that, the Son of David set on the same mountain, weeping, a rejected King.
Look at Joseph, sold for thirty pieces of silver, almost thirty pieces of silver. Look at him. When he was borned, he was a prophet. He could prophesy, foretell things to come, interpret dreams, spiritual, loved of his fathers... Hated--of his father and hated by his brothers, exactly what Jesus was. See? And was throwed into a pit and supposed to be dead, taken up and set at the right hand of Pharaoh. No man...
In his prison... Like Jesus, nailed to a cross, in His prison, there was one lost, one saved. And Joseph, there was one lost one saved. And he ascended up by the side of Pharaoh, and no man could come to Pharaoh only by Joseph. Jesus ascended up into heaven. No man comes to the Father, only by Jesus.
And when Joseph left the throne to go out, the trumpet sounded, and every knee bowed. "Bow the knee. Joseph is coming." And when Jesus leaves the throne, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess. See? That was the Spirit of Messiah in those men. That's the reason the Word of God came to the prophets. And here the full Word of God was manifested in order to redeem man.
Now, if that's what He was yesterday, that's what He was today. Then Paul said He will be the same forever. So we see.

L-69 Now, there come forth the Jew and the Samaritan. But we Gentiles, we wasn't looking for no Messiah. We were Romans, Anglo-Saxons, worshipping idols, so forth. We wasn't looking for no Messiah, so He never showed Hisself. Not one time did He do that before a Messiah, before a Gentile. Find it in the Bible: not one time. Why?
Now, remember, He can't change. And at the end of the Jewish dispensation and those... If He proved that to be Himself and let the Gentiles go through just on theology without seeing the same thing, then He isn't God. He did something there at the end of their race and their time that He didn't do here. Now, did He promise it? Yes. Quickly now, and I'll close.
