<TITLE>20. Par 76-78</TITLE>L-76 That Angel down there at Sodom, that turned His back to the tent, and asked Abraham where was Sarah, his wife... And in the tent she was. And He said, "I'll visit you according to life." And Sarah laughed within herself. He said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" behind him.
Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." Abraham come through all kinds of signs and things, but just before the fire there come that sign. Israel come through all kinds of signs. But before they were excommunicated from the Presence of God, they seen that Messiahic sign.
The church has come down through Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian, on down through Pilgrim Holiness, and Nazarenes, Pentecostals, to speaking in tongues; but here it is. They have... Something has to happen. He has to be the same God.
I have no education. I'm your brother. But I'm telling you the truth. And if I'm telling you the truth, God's got to back that truth up. And if it isn't the truth, God will have nothing to do with it. That's...

L-77 You all--we all know the Word of the Lord came to the prophets. The prophets was the Word of the Lord made manifest. Jesus was the Prophet, and that's the reason Deuteronomy said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet." And when they seen Him doing that, they hadn't had a prophet for hundreds of years, but they knowed that was that prophet.
Look at that little old woman up there, a prostitute, in Saint John 4, as she stood up there that day. And Jesus came out, a Jew, and asked her for a drink. And the conversation went on for quite a lengthy spell. Jesus was trying to find where her trouble was.
And when He found where her trouble was, He said, "Go, get your husband, come here."
She said, "I have no husband."
He said, "Truth. You've had five, and the one you're living with now is not your husband."
Look at that little woman. She said, "Sir, I perceive that Thou art that Prophet."
Now, if you notice, the King James says "a prophet," but run your marginal reading--"that Prophet" that was to come. They asked John, "Are You that Prophet?" They knowed that Messiah was to be prophet.
She said, "Are You that Prophet that was to come? We know when Messiah, which is called Christ, when He comes, that'll be His sign. He will show us these things. But Who are You?"
Jesus said, "I'm He that speaks with you."

L-78 Brother, them Pharisees, high-scholared, denominational, gritted down, stood there and said, "It's a devil, Beelzebub, a fortuneteller."
He said, "I forgive you. But someday the Holy Ghost will come to do the same thing. One word against It will never be forgiven in this world, nor the world to come."
He said, "You search the Scriptures. They are the ones that testify of Me." He was God's Word made flesh. He's a manifestation. "If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not. The Scriptures testify of Me. You think in them you have Eternal Life. They testify of Me." In other words, "They're the very things that says what I am."
