<TITLE>21. Par 200-210</TITLE>L-200 Now, today, Russia wants a messiah. Russia wants a messiah that will take them to the moon right quick, get there before the rest of them will. That's what Russia wants. They want that kind of a messiah, some genius, some fellow that's a--that's a--that's a scientific genius, and he'll know how to conquer outer space and go over there and plant the Russian flag before the Americans can get there. Oh, they're... They want their messiah. They're trying their best to raise up one. All right.

L-201   What did America? What do you want, America? You are crying the loudest. What do you want? You've been wanting a--an educated genius. You've been wanting a political genius. You got it. Though you had to invent a--a crooked voting machine to get it, but you've got it. That's right. The world wants... That's what it wants, now what you going to do with it? You wanted to show how smart you was. You even put them on television, to show that one could outsmart the other one, and you fell for it. See? You've got it, now where--where is he going to lead you? Right back to Rome, of course. You seen it, right now.

L-202   You, church, you want a genius. What do you want? What do you, what's the church want? What are you wanting? You are wanting a smart, educated, intellectual minister to raise up, that can conquer better than Billy Graham, to take them all back to your denomination. You got seminaries and things, trying to hatch them out. See, that's right. You might not think that's true; but, look, your--your action speaks louder than your words. You want a--you want a religious genius, one who can lead you, your denomination, over them all; stomp out the Baptists, stomp out the Methodists, stomp out the Oneness, stomp out the Trinity, everything, walk over all of it. Oh, you're just skimming the world down, trying to find him. That's the kind you want.

L-203   But you know what you need? You need a Saviour, just exactly what you need. And that's what God knows you need, is a Saviour, and He sends It to you. But do they want It? No, sir. That don't fit their--fit their ecclesiastical taste. It just doesn't work that way with them.

L-204 But the whole world wants their genius. Now what if Russia got their messiah, then what about us?

L-205 You know, Germany got theirs, not long ago, and many of you boys from the First World War remembers that very well. See, they got it. You don't need that kind of a messiah. It was in the wrong way. It was the wrong thing. It was contrary to God's Word.

L-206   Just think, Napoleon, at the age of thirty-three, he had conquered the world, and died in defeat. He died in defeat. He was a prohibitionist when he first raised up, and his great success brought him; and he died, an alcoholic, seven thousand prostitutes following his army. And he died at thirty-three years old. And he tried to conquer the world, but he did it in the wrong way.

L-207 But Jesus Christ, at the age of thirty-three, had conquered the world, death, hell, grave, and--and ascended on High. Why? He was the Word of God made manifest. That's our Messiah! Amen. Sure. They always, we want a--we want a Messiah, but we want it in the way...

L-208 I'll have to omit some things I got wrote down now, we're getting too late. We--we have to omit some of it.

L-209   But the world wants--wants their messiah. The world wants one. The church wants one. And what if God sent them one? If God sent a Messiah, what would He be? He would not be a religious politician. He would not be an intellectual giant, as we'd call it. Oh, no.

L-210 What would He be? He would be like Hebrews 13:8, the same that He was. He's always been. He would be the Word of God made manifest. That's exactly. He was God's Word; He is God's Word; He'll forever be God's Word. Even the--the sounding forth of His Coming, was always the prophets who the Word came to. Here the Word come in fulness.
