<TITLE>26. Par 248-257</TITLE>L-248 {497-3} Then, first thing you know, he's standing there one day, and he said, "Yes, He's standing in your midst." He was so sure he was that runner. He knowed who he was. That's the reason he could shake the hide off them. He said, "Now, don't tremble, but just go ahead and continue on. You soldiers, you obey your masters, and if you've done any evil, you take that..."
"What shall we do? Shall we quit doing this? Shall we stop doing this?"
He said, "Just go on like you are. Continue on. Continue on; go ahead. If you're raising potatoes, raise them. See? You soldiers don't do no violence, and--and you do this, and whatever it be, so just continue on as you are. Obey your masters and so forth."
"Rabbi, what should we do?"
"Just continue on as you are (See?), but there's One in your midst that you don't know." He knowed that the hour of his message, he knowed he was to introduce that Person. He knowed He was there. "One in your midst; you don't see Him. Things are going on you know nothing about." And so then... "There's--there's something going to happen," he says, you see, "and He will be here and I'll know Him."

L-252 {498-1} And finally one day he said, "Behold, there He is. There's the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." Said, "My time's up now. I've introduced you to Him. I must decrease now; I must go off the scene. He will take over from here. The millennium will be on right away. (See?) The--the time is at hand."
Then when He come, when He was... John said, "He's going to... Oh, He's going to shuck the hide off. He's going--He's going to separate the wheat from the--from the chaff, and He's going to burn it up. He's going to thoroughly purge His floors, and His fan is in His hand." But what was He? Little bitty...

L-254 {498-2} Now, they had all drawed up (oh man.) He will have a spear that'll reach a mile long. He will stand back over here in Palestine, just stand up there in His--on one of these white clouds, and pick up all these Romans, like this, and cast them into hell, just keep on doing like that (See?), till He gets them all over. Why, they had that all fixed up. And what it was--a little Lamb come moving out among them, meek and gentle, pushed around this way and that way.

L-255 {498-4} Even John said... Now, look at John the prophet; he said, "Go ask Him, is actually He the One?" So humble till that prophet missed it... Said, "Is He the One, or do we seek for another?"
Now, he never give Him a book for them disciples in--in Matthew 11, come and asked him when John's disciples... John was in prison, so he'd been all so scrupled up till he--till I believe as Pember said, "His--his eagle eye got filmed over down there." You see? He couldn't... He--he done come down to the earth; he'd been up in the air. But when his prophecy was over, he dropped back down to the ground again. See? 'Cause put him in prison. You see? He didn't have no use for them big wings any more, so he just laid down there; but he flew higher than any of the rest of them. Let me show you something. God used him.

L-257 {498-6} And Jesus knew (You see?), 'cause that was the--that was the incarnate God there. See? He was... So He--He said there... He said... Now, He never give him a book on how to behave himself in jail. He said, "Now, wait a minute. I'll write a little essay here, and you take back and tell John how to behave himself when he's in jail for My sake." See? No, He never said that.
He didn't say, "Go, tell John that he ought to have got his Ph.D. degree before he come out in his..." See? If he would, he'd been with the rest of them; he would've been a rejecter. John was honest and asked a question.
And He said, "Just wait till the meeting is over, and then go show John what happened, then he will know. If you tell him what's going on, then he will know. (See, see?) Just go let him... Tell him--tell him it's... He's in prison and couldn't be here, but--but you set in the meeting and you seen what happened. You go tell him."
