<TITLE>23. Par -</TITLE>L-33-1 They said, "There wasn't such a thing as David ever playing on his instrument, a string harp, 'cause string music wasn't known till the 15th century." Said, "There never was such a thing." Christian archaeologists dug up down in Egypt, four thousand years ago they had string instruments. Amen. Oh, my.
They said about the Hebrew children making them stones and things like that out of straw, "There wasn't such a thing." Archaeologist went to digging on that. What did they find? That's science. What did they find? The walls of the city that the Hebrews built, the first layer of stones was long straws. The second was chopped up in little bitty pieces of stubbles, and the third had no straw in it at all. Oh, my.
Nations are breaking;
Israel's awakening;
The signs that the prophets foretold...

L-33-3 Yes, sir, It's all moved right up to us, brother and sister. Why is it? In the last few years never has the movie world ever done what it's done. On the screen comes the story of "The Ten Commandments" by Cecil De Mille. On the screen come the life of Jesus Christ through "Ben Hur." On the screen comes "The Big Fisherman," the conversion of Peter. And all these religious plays which the movies has refused, and dirtied, and throwed away. But God in His mighty power blasted forth just the same.

L-33-4 Right now, those things that have been said a few years ago... A poor little humble servant of myself, of God, I said, "There is a Light that stood and talked to me, and told me the things to do."
People laughed and said, "He's a little bit off at the head."
There is a picture of It. Science took it. There it's the truth. I said, "The woman's shadowed to death."
They said, "A shadow, now, that's nonsense. He just makes that up in his mind." There's the picture of it. God will make the rocks cry out. He's able to do what He wants to.

L-34-3 Jesus: the reproach for the Word, the Divine Son of God, standing there, Emmanuel, what a reproach, let the unbelieving sinner bind Him, spit in His face, and jerk handfuls of beard out, and dare Him to do anything about it. The reproach for the Word, what? To fulfill the Father's Word.
Oh, but remember, He must stand the reproach of death. God, Who cannot die, and the only One that could die to save a sinner; no one else, no second person, or third person could do it. God Himself is the only One can do it.
Here He was; He said, "There is no man ascended up but He that descended down, even the Son of man, which now is in heaven." Amen.
They said, "Our fathers eat manna in the wilderness." And there He said... "And you say that You're the Bread of Life."
He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM. I'm the Bread of Life. I am the I AM."
They said, "You're not fifty years old and say that you saw Abraham."
He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." And then let sinners bind Him, the denominational church bind Him... You remember, the last days this rich Laodicean church, they put Him out even of the church.

L-34-7 You see where it's at now? Can you see why I'm crying out against that system? Why did Jesus let sinners bind Him? It was to fulfill the Word, bring a reproach to God dying. God had to die. He had to be flesh in order to die. And Jesus knew that. He told them about it. He said, "Destroy this temple, and I'll raise it up again." Not somebody else raise it up, "I'll raise it up. In three days, I'll bring it right back again. You destroy it; I'll raise it up. As Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and nights, so must the Son of man be in the heart of the earth," and they didn't even understand it. See, a Reproach for the Word. He--He was.
