<TITLE>12. Par 68-73</TITLE>L-68   New York, last week, I was listening at a message quoted, or said by Einstein, the great scientist, the--the what is called the brain of the--of the time. And I was... heard that. Then I went to hear Norman Vincent Peale, on his psychology about how people should do, or walk, and project themselves into psychology.
Then, on Einstein, he was speaking of a galaxy that was out between the system there, out from stars. And if a person could travel at the speed, I believe he said, of light,... Now, I think, what is that,... eighty-six thousand? [Brother Neville says, "Hundred and eighty-six."--Ed.] Hundred, hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second, that light travels. And now break that down in five minutes, how many millions and billions of miles you'd be. And a--a hundred and twenty million years of light-time it would take you to get to that galaxy. And then a hundred and twenty, or a hundred and fifty million years; a hundred and fifty millions over, and a hundred and fifty million back.

L-69 And they hit something that stumped them. And they, after going out there and coming back, you would actually take you three million years to make the trip, three hundred million years. Three hundred million years to make the trip, and, when you come back to the earth, actually you've only been gone fifty years. You break into Eternity. There is no end to It.

L-70   And to think, that, the God Who made all of that and set it in order, and spoke of it, come down and was made flesh among us, to redeem us. And would so honor us with His august Presence, that He--He would stand here on this sinful earth in the last days, and prove His Word to be so, because He's obligated to that Word. Amen. The sovereignty and the justice of that great One Who holds those things in His hand!

L-71   Notice, the nations. The--the church has to turn His Word down, first. Then, after the church turned It down, and called Him "a Beelzebub, or an evil spirit," then It was brought before the government, so that the whole race had to be condemned. Now we find Jesus, this morning, before a--a governor, Pilate, a Roman, to be tried. And we find that the church turned Him down, first, because that they didn't believe His Message, because they didn't know the Word.

L-72   Jesus told them, "If you would have--would have heard Moses, you would believe My Word, because he is the one that spoke of Me." See? There is the Word that the prophet... Which, the--the Lord comes to the prophet, and the prophet spoke the Word for the hour to come. And here It was identified, and said, "You say you know Moses and he is your guide. You don't know Moses, nor you don't know his Word." In other words, He said, "I am the Word. I am the identified Word that Moses spoke would come, and you condemn Me." See? For their traditions, see, the church condemned Him.

L-73   Now, we find Him now before Pilate, and thoroughly approved, too, identified to the time, or the church, by the messenger of the time. They had been given a chance to see and believe, but rejected It. Why did they reject It? Many of them wanted to believe That; but their traditions, not the people, but their traditions!
