<TITLE>06. Par 34-37</TITLE>L-34 Now, the vision was fulfilled. And how I ever come to ever stop, not knowing it, on that 5th verse... That's all I ever read. But there's some more to that chapter, several more verses. Now, you might, in your hotel room or home tonight, soon as we dismiss, read the rest of that, 'cause I've got several Scriptures wrote out here that I want to refer to, and notes that I want to refer to. And I want you to read it when you go home. I'll quote it; it'll be on the tape. You want to mark some of it down, why, it'll be all right.

L-35 Now, do you believe that men and women, which I know you do, are led by the Spirit of God to do things? See? And Jesus was our Pattern. If you would notice it, I want to turn, you turn with me to St. Luke the 4th chapter, just a minute. And I want to show you something striking. And just so we won't get too much of these references, but that you'll be able to read with me here for--on this one for just a few moments. St. Luke the 4th chapter and the 14th verse, we begin. Now, watch real close here if you want to see something happen that this paralleled. Now, notice.
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit unto Galilee:... He returned in the power of the Spirit unto Galilee: and there went out a fame of him throughout all the regions around about.
And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it is written--was written,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; and he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, and to preach deliverance to the captives, and to recover sight to the blind, and to set at liberty them that are bruised.
And to preach the acceptable year of our Lord.
And he closed the book,...

L-36 Now, if you want to, if you want a reference to that, I've got it here, just a moment, if I maybe pick it up out of the margin reading here. If you notice, that's also you'll find it over in Mark and different places, but in Isaiah 61:1 and 2. Now, isn't it strange that He stopped right there, and the very next verse... That was what was applied to His first coming. And the second, next verse, is applying to His second coming at judgment. He stopped and closed the book. If any of you are reading a Scofield Bible, you'll find a footnote on it there. See? Watch his footnote of mark "2," a footnote (See?), and you'll notice there a comparison with the--the message quoted in Isaiah 61:1 and 2. Afords the instance of the--where the Scripture here, preaching, Jesus was to preach the acceptable year of the Lord; and the next verse comes out with His coming and judgment. See? And you see how He stopped right at that?

L-37 And how I never noticed that, and how I'd always stopped at this 5th verse, "For the time will come when they do not endure sound doctrine, but for--heap themselves with teachers, having itching ears, and will be turned from the truth to fables. But do the work of an evangelist; make full proof of your ministry." See? And by God's help and grace I've tried to do that. And I want my friends, both here and out into the lands where the tapes will go, the reason that I have took the stand that I have for the Word, is this very reason, "Preach the Word." That's the reason I would not tally-ate with any of the creeds, any the denominations, because I have been commissioned of God to stay with the Word. Now, if anybody else wants to do anything else, that's up to them.
