<TITLE>20. Par 231-239</TITLE>L-231 {424-5} He said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet among you like me." Moses said that. And said, "Him shall you hear. And ever who will not hear that prophet will be cut off from the people." That's right. And see, their eyes had to be blinded or they'd have recognized Him. Instead of that being blinded, they were--that let Satan get on them, and they say, "He's a fortune teller, Beelzebub. Let his blood be upon us; we know there's nothing to him." See? And the poor people was blinded.
That's the reason the Eichman group, and all that group was slain back there, had a right to come in; their own Father had to blind their eyes so He could take us. That's the most pathetic thing in the Scriptures nearly. Just think of their, the Jews were calling the blood of their own Father, their own God hanging there, bleeding.

L-234 {424-7} Look, "There they crucified Him," the Bible said. That's a four of the greatest words... Look. There, Jerusalem, the most holy city in the world; they, the most holy people in the world; crucified, the most brutal death in the world; Him, the most important Person in the world.
Why? The religious people, the greatest religion in the world, the only true religion in the world was standing there crucifying the very God that their Bible said would come. Why didn't they see it? The Bible tells us that God blinded them so they couldn't see it. They...
He said, "Which one of you can accuse Me of sin?" In other words, "If I hadn't done exactly what's predicted for Me to do, then you tell Me." Sin's unbelief. He done exactly what God told Him, but they couldn't see it.

L-236 {425-3} Now, when you talk to people, it's just like pouring water on a duck's back. Do you see what I mean? It's a pitiful thing. When you see this nation, and people the way they do, so starch, they, religion... But don't the Holy Spirit tell us that they'll be heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, and despisers of those that are good. "They'd have a form of godliness but would deny the power of the Gospel." Said, "From such turn away from them."

L-237 {425-4} Here we are; these denominationals twist it up. They take all the glory and power, place it back with the apostles and the rest of it over in the millennium.
It's just like a man, as I have said before: A man is always giving God praise for what He has done, looking forward to what He will do, and ignoring what He's doing right now. Exactly. Man's still the same thing.
There were them Jews standing there saying, "Glory to God." Why, as the 6th chapter of Saint John said, "Our Fathers eat manna in the wilderness."
And Jesus said, "They are everyone dead."

L-239 {425-7} They drank water from the rock in the wilderness and...?... He said, "I am that Rock." That's right. Amen. He said, "But I'm the Bread of Life that come from God's out of heaven--that Tree of Life from Eden back yonder. If a man eats this bread he shall not die. I'll raise him up again at the last days." Oh, oh, they couldn't see it. That's right.
The very Messiah standing there speaking the very words of their heart, and things like that, showing that He was Messiah, just what Messiah was supposed to do. And them standing there with their hands behind them, and, "Hah, it can't be. No, no. He--he--he didn't come in the right trend. See, he come out of Bethlehem, and he--he's nothing but an illegitimate child, and that's the devil working on him. We--we know he's mad. He's crazy; he's got a devil."
See, their eyes were actually blinded to that. Now, but they're looking for their prophet; and they're going to receive it, going to receive two of them. That's right.
