<TITLE>25. Par -</TITLE>L-36-5 Every Son of God, down through the age that would stand a reproach, there was no one could redeem him. But by faith he saw that Redeemer coming.
Job saw Him. Job had stood back there. And they said, "Oh, you're a secret sinner; God's just mistreating you 'cause you're a secret sinner."
And he said, "I know my Redeemer liveth. At the last days, He'll stand on earth; though the skin worms destroys this body yet in my flesh I'll see God."
His wife said, "Why don't you curse Him and die? You look like a miserable wretch."
He said, "You talk like a foolish woman."
Amen. There he was. "I know He lives, and He'll stand at the last days."

L-36-8 If Jesus hadn't have come, Job couldn't have been redeemed. 'Cause He was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. He knowed His place. He knowed His position.
That's the reason when Mary recognized that position that day when she come out there, he said, "If You'd have been here, my brother'd not died."
He said, "Thy brother shall rise again."
Said, "Yes, Lord, in the resurrection, he was a good boy."
Jesus said, "But I am that Resurrection. Believest thou this?"
She said, "Yea, Lord, I believe that You are the Son of God that was to come into the world."
He said, "Where have you buried him?" Oh, there you are. She recognized it.

L-37-1 That little woman wasn't saying that. She had seven devils cast out of her. She knowed the power of God that could take pride, and stress, and everything away from her, that could take that little selfish high school spirit out of her, and could make her a new creature. He cast seven devils out. Them women knowed what He was who accepted Him; they knowed what He could do for them. So do they today too. Just accept it. That's the next thing.
There He--she said that, and He... You know what taken place.
Oh, all that would suffer for the same Word, He died for that cause. He was the only One that could die to do it, for He was the Word. He was the Word, the Word made manifest. All the others had little dips, but here was the Fullness of God. Yes, sir. The same He is today. Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever."
Listen. (I'm closing. Really, I'm going to do it. Just have to. I'm way past time.)

L-37-3 He never wrote one word. Did He? Never wrote a word. Why? He was the Word. He was what the Word that had been wrote; He was the manifestation of that Word. Glory. Whew. Now, I feel good. He was the Word. He didn't have to write nothing. He was the Word, written Word made manifest. Glory to God. He's the same today, yesterday, and forever. He is the Word: Word made manifest.
You say, "Is that right, Brother Branham?" Watch Jehovah stand back there and blow a streak across those waves back yonder, and make the road for Israel to walk through. Watch Jehovah in flesh say, "Peace be still." When the waves was beating the banks in the storm, and the devil licking on everything like that, He said, "Peace be still," and it obeyed Him: the winds and all. He was Jehovah. Amen.

L-37-5 That Jehovah that could stand yonder and sprinkle a few dew drops out there, that'd fall to the earth and be made bread to feed a people. He stood and took five fish, or five biscuits and two fish and fed five thousand. He was the Word. Amen. Amen. He's the Word, and He ever will be the Word. And for me and my house, we'll serve the Word.
Oh, I want to see Him, I want to look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of Glory, let me lift my voice;
When cares all past,
Home at last, ever to rejoice.
Oh, my. Yes, bear the reproach of the Word. There's a reproach that goes with the Word. Stay right with the Word and bear the reproach. Let's pray.
