<TITLE>23. Par 76-80</TITLE>L-76 One more word, please. Jesus was convinced that He would rise on the third day. Look at Him. Only one Scripture in the Bible to back it up, and that was by a man that finally backslid. But David in the Spirit...
One day He said, "What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He?
And they said, "He's the son of David."
He said, "Then why? Why did David (Now, take the carnal part away.) Why did David in the Spirit call Him Lord, saying, 'The Lord said unto my lord, set there on my right hand?'"
In Revelations He said, "I am the Root and the Offspring of David. I was before him; I'm him; and I'm now." Henceforth they asked Him nothing. That was too much of a twister. They didn't understand that. Their theological training hadn't brought them to that. Neither can it yet. They've tried it a long time and can't explain it yet. It's only revealed to those who it will be revealed to.

L-77 Jesus was thoroughly convinced. He said, walked out before them, and said, "Destroy this temple; I'll raise it up in three days. Oh. Destroy, do whatever you want to with it. I'll raise it up again in three days." Oh. Why? He was thoroughly convinced. He knowed Who He was. He knowed what God had promised. Oh, if... Like if we could read our name into it. "By His Stripes we were healed. By His promise I've been saved. By His Blood I am part of Him. By His promise I shall rise again in the last day." See? He knowed that He was read right into the Scripture. He knowed His position. Nobody had to tell Him anything about it, though He--He didn't go around bragging about it. That showed--that showed what He was.

L-78 John didn't go around bragging about what he was, his chest stuck out. "I'm Dr. So-and-so. I got so-and-so." No, no. John just come out as an ordinary man. So did Jesus. Their works testified what they were. That's right. Their works did that.
So He didn't do that. He just went around and said... They said, "We ought to hang Him. We ought to get Him out of our midst."
He said, "Destroy this temple; I'll raise it up again in the third day."
Why? He knowed David said, "I'll not leave His soul in hell; neither will I suffer My holy One to see corruption."

L-79 And how can you people believe, or anybody believe... How can the Catholic church believe... Many of us... The immaculate birth, we believe that. But when it comes to... We know that the Blood cell come from God. We know God created that Blood cell that brought the virgin birth. Not only the Blood cell but He created the egg of the woman too, 'cause no flesh is holy. If that would've been the egg from Mary, then she'd have had to have some kind of a--of a sensation to have brought the egg down. But she knowed nothing about it. Just the Holy Ghost overshadowed. If you did, you see what you'd put God doing to a woman?
Glory. He was God. "I'll not suffer My holy One, His body..." How could it be holy through a sexual desire? Now, if that's so, we're all holy.
There is no holy people. There is no holy mountain, there is no holy church. It's the Holy Ghost, a holy God in a church, on a mountain: not holy people; holy God in a people. That flesh was of God, God the Creator.

L-80 Jesus was concerned. He knowed, and--and convinced that He would raise up the last day, according to the promise of Scripture. (I close in saying this. It's getting too late. Let me say this one thing and then I'll quit.) I'm thoroughly convinced that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. I'm thoroughly convinced that this what we speak of and see in here is the Holy Ghost. I'm thoroughly convinced.
