<TITLE>19. Par 215-226</TITLE>L-215   What made that little woman say that? She seen something real. She seen something that wasn't just a bunch of creeds. She seen something was manifested and was genuine.

L-216 To me, anything that's proven to be genuine, is genuine. I think, today, that the whole world should be interested. If we believe that we're living in the end time, and we believe that the Coming of the Lord Jesus is at hand, we ought to be exactly interested in the things that's going on of this day. We ought to examine it by the Word of God. Because, we'll drop right by, it'll be past and we'll know nothing about it. That's the way it's always been.

L-217 The people never knowed the saints until they were dead. They never recognize the prophets until they were dead. Jesus said, "You hypocrites." Said, "How you garnish the--the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers put them in there."
They never recognized Saint Patrick until he was dead.

L-218 Joan of Arc, they never recognized her to be a saint. The Catholic church burnt her, to a stake, for a witch, because she seen visions. And called her a witch, and burnt that woman, to a stake, crying for mercy. Couple of hundred years later, they found out that she was a saint. Course, they done penance. They dug up them priests' body and throwed it in the river. Penance. Certainly.

L-219 It goes right over the top of their head, and they don't know it. God does it that way, to get out His elected children, and to bring condemnation upon the world who rejects His Word and rejects His Presence.

L-220   Look at all those ministers in that day, looking upon the gift of God in Jesus Christ, and said, "It was a devil. We don't have to hear to Him. Our priests disagrees with That." Where they at tonight?

L-221 And look at that little old ill-famed woman, that little predestinated Seed of God burning in her heart. And as soon as That flashed across, she said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet, and I know Messiah is coming to do this," see, as soon as the first thing flashed, that little predestinated Seed in her heart.

L-222 Her name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. And so was yours, if it ever be There. See? That's right.

L-223 And as soon as that flash come there! And she knowed that that was the hour they were looking for, a Messiah, and that's what He was to do. And when she seen it happen, she knowed it was the Messiah then, and she never questioned Him any more. She run into the city, and said, "Come, see a Man that told me the things that I've done. Isn't that the very sign of the Messiah?" She seen something real.

L-224 This little queen seen something real. It changes the heart of people.

L-225   Reminds me. As all of you know, I--I like to hunt. I used to hunt, up in the mountains in the East. In closing now, I just want to tell you this. A little incident happened. Oh, I--I love the sunsets. I love nature. I love to hear the call. They're killing off all the coyotes and things. How I love to hear them holler! I--I--I--I... Just something about it! I love it. And I love outdoors, the deep calling into the Deep. It's God, to me. Hear the whispering of the pines, and of the call of the birds, is God in it, to me.

L-226 Now notice. I used to go up there to hunt with a fellow called Burt. He was a good hunter. You didn't have to worry about him. He was a crack shot and a good hunter, and you didn't have to worry about him being lost. He knowed where he was at.
