<TITLE>10. Par -</TITLE>L-11-6 So you can see and watch, exactly... Those magis, Jewish magis, up in Babylon, studying the stars, saw those stars fall into their constellation, and when he did, they knew that Messiah was on earth. And here they come into Jerusalem singing (two years' journey), "Where is He That's born King of the Jews?" Up and down the streets they went. And why, Israel laughed at them. These bunch of fanatics. They never knowed nothing about it. But the Messiah was on earth. And now... You know the rest the story, what they said. Now, we'll read that tomorrow night.

L-12-1 Now, coming to this, that the visions don't fail, because they're from God. And all along the journey has been something pulling me, tugging at me. Then when that Magi told me these things when I was just a boy, game warden (or before that, I believe it was), about these things, and it scared me, because I was afraid of--of what the Magi was. But later on I found out that the magis of the Bible was right, because God declares it in heaven before He declares it on earth: watching those heavenly bodies.
"God is no respecter of person of all nations," said Peter. Now, "But those who fear Him, in all nations God accepts." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-12-3 Then we find... then... I tried to give the thought up. But, oh it would take hours to go in, how they constantly it moved that way, moved that way, but I was scared of it. This Magi said to me, "You'll never be successful in the east." Said, "You were born under a sign." And he said, "You... that sign, that constellation, when they crossed way out in there, the day of your birth, they were hanging westward, and you must go westward."
And I said, "Forget it." I--I had nothing to do with it. And all along though, still that didn't take it out of my heart.

L-12-5 Then, when I was up there that night about these visions, I couldn't understand. My Baptist brethren told me that was of the devil. And then when that Angel appeared, He absolutely throwed it into the Scripture, and said as it was then, when the priests were arguing about things, not knowing nothing about what kind of coats they should wear, and clothes, and everything, and arguing about their differences, the magis was following the star to Christ.
When the preachers said that Jesus was an impostor, a Beelzebub, a devil raised up and said, "We know who You are: the holy One of God. Why are You coming to torment us before the time?"

L-12-7 When Paul and Silas came down preaching the Gospel, a little fortuneteller, setting on the street... And the preachers of that country said, "These men are impostors. They tear up our churches, and so forth, turning the world upside down with their corruption."
But what happened? That little Magi, that little fortuneteller, said, "These are men of God that tell us the way of life."
And Paul rebuked that spirit in her. He didn't need any help to testify who he was. Jesus always told them to hold their peace. But it goes to show that sometimes devils knows more about the things of God than preachers does. They became so ecclesiastical bound. That was so in the Bible, and God doesn't change.
