<TITLE>31. Par 334-345</TITLE>L-334 John the Baptist, that great prophet that come forth, and said, "There is One standing among you right now. And an ordinary Man standing here somewhere, that's the Lamb of God." John said, "Then I bore record. I bare record. I saw the Spirit of God, the Holy Ghost, descending from Heaven like a dove, and It went upon Him. And a Voice said, 'This is My beloved Son in Whom I'm pleased.'"
What was it? The Holy Ghost said, "I'll point Him out."

L-335   That's the only way you'll know Him today, only way you'll get the threefold revelation of God, is for the Holy Ghost. And the only way it can ever be, is you're predestinated to see it. If it don't, you'll never see it. If you're not predestinated to see it, you'll never see it; 'cause that Light can flash and you'll go away and make fun of it, and explain it away, by some intellectual conception. When the very God, Himself, manifesting Himself and proving it, see, but, if it ain't upon you to see it, you won't see it.

L-336   God never just said, "I'll choose this one, choose that one," but He knew by His... Reason He could predestinate, because He's infinite, and He--He knows every... He's infinite, so therefore He knowed everything. He knowed the end, and could tell the end from the beginning. He's God. If He can't do that, He's not God. Yes, sir. He's infinite. All right.

L-337   John would have never know Him, no, sir, had the Holy Ghost not pointed out. See how God hides His mystery to the high, educated and everything? Look, every one of them people...?... And simplicity reveals it to whom He has predestinated to see it. Look here! Others standing by and never even seen the dove, they never heard no Voice, for it was only sent to that predestinated Seed. Predestinated! Certainly, was predestinated!

L-338 Why, Isaiah, seven hundred and twelve years before he was born, in the Spirit, raised up out of these human senses, and said, "There's a voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord, and make His... '"

L-339 Then, if Isaiah could see it, couldn't Malachi see the same thing for a predestinated last prophet, the sealing off all the prophets of the Old Testament, that main... that great prophet standing there at the end of the age? See? He's saying it's predestinated! Certainly, he was. Malachi saw him, too.

L-340   Jesus said, "If you can receive it, this is he who was spoken of, 'I send My messenger before My face,' Malachi 3, 'to prepare the way before Me.'" See? Sure, he was predestinated to see that message. No wonder he could look yonder and see that dove coming down, that Light that was in the wilderness with Israel, coming, moving down.

L-341 The God Himself, saying, "This is My beloved Son in Whom I'm pleased to dwell in." God and man becoming One.

L-342 "I bare witness," John said, "I beheld Him, the only begotten of the Father. I'm a witness of it." Amen!

L-343 There you are. Simplicity! With an old preacher, his father; his father was a great theologian, you know, he come out of a school. Look like he'd have went back to his father's denomination. That wouldn't have been the will of God.

L-344   When God touched him at his birth back there, and he received the Holy Ghost three months before he was born. Yes, sir. When Mary went up there, and little John was six months old, in his mother's womb, and had never... Them little muscles had never moved yet. And Mary was afraid... The little muscles were growing, but she couldn't feel no life, Elisabeth, his mother, rather. And when Mary come up and grabbed her, and hugged her, put her arms, laid hands on her. See? And said, "God has spoke to me, and I'm going to have a baby, too."
"Are you and Joseph married?"
"No"
"Mary, how can this be?"

L-345 "The Holy Ghost shall overshadow me, and there will be created in me. And I shall call His Name 'Jesus.' He'll be the Son of God."
