<TITLE>20. Par 198-206</TITLE>L-198   And the Word comes only to the prophet. The word prophet means "a revealer of the Divine written Word," the same as it does a forthteller, see, or seer. Notice. And the seer, how, the one you know is telling forth, he is Divinely vindicated by foreseeing, and it comes to pass. "If there be one who is prophet, will speak to you and tell you certain things are going to happen. And if it don't happen, don't listen to him. But if it does happen, then I'm with him. You better fear him, because I am with him, you see." That's exactly. There is the vindication, there where you know whether it's the Truth or whether it isn't.

L-199 God is speaking back through His Word, to His people, by people. See, God only speaks through man. "I am the Vine, ye are the branches." The Vine doesn't bear fruit. The branches talk, bears the fruit of the Vine. Notice, it's always been that way.

L-200   Now we find Joseph, then, that when no man could touch or come to Pharaoh without first seeing Joseph. "No man can come to the Father, only by the Son." And when Joseph left the throne, they sounded trumpets, "Every knee bowed! Joseph is coming forth!"

L-201 Glory! And someday every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess, when He leaves the Throne of His Father, see, to come forth. Everybody will bear witness that He is the Son of God. You either... It's too late then. Do it now.

L-202   Now we notice that through the types. We could take even David, as I spoke of a while ago, going off his throne, rejected by his own people; going up the same mountain, Mount of Olives, as he's going over to his prison. He was going to his prison house because he was rejected of his brethren and of his own people. He went up, weeping. That was the Spirit of Christ in him, to be rejected as he looked up over Jerusalem and wept, and said, "Jerusalem, how oft would I..." A rejected king. Eight hundred years later, the Son of David stood on Jerusalem, up there above Jerusalem, and rejected, and wept over Jerusalem, and said, "Now your hour has come." That's right. See?

L-203   All those things typed Him, just in type, but yet the mystery was hid. Them men didn't know what they were doing. They only knew that they were led by the Spirit to do some. Now, holding it back in the last days, for the great revelation. But, expressing it, express Himself in Moses, and David, and Joseph, and Elijah, and on down through. You... we could take each one of those prophets, and bring their lives out and show it expressed Jesus Christ perfectly, exactly, yet never giving His secret in full; waiting for to make it known in the last days as He promised, waiting for it to be fully comprehended, see, before He could express it, if He told the whole thing.

L-204 Because, the Bible is written in mysteries. Jesus thanked the Father for it, see, that It was wrote in mysteries.

L-205   Now, the Coming of the Lord is in mystery. We don't know when He's coming, how He's coming, but we know He is coming. See? And so was all the mysteries of God waiting for this last day. After He's already been completed, then He reveals and shows what He's done. Oh, my! Never gave His mystery in full.

L-206 It's just like this, comparing the Seven Seals. Now, when God used Martin Luther for the coming out for that first church or that church age, and when He used John Wesley, and He gradually brought them out, and was revealing in them that church age, when we... when it goes back through the Bible now and find out. But in the last days, the reason that was such a tremendous thing, that He spoke of it here and showed those Seven Thunders. And Look and Life ma-...
