<TITLE>30. Par 202-207</TITLE>L-202   As their fathers did, so do they, same thing today. Now, the decision has been reached. It's got to be reached. You've got to reach it, some way. See? Crucifixion of the Word again, or what are you going to do? Crucifixion of the Word is at hand. Crucify and stop the vindicated Word, for--for the denominational sake, like Pilate did, trying to pass off somebody. Now what will you, as an individual, do with the anointed Word which is called the Christ?
The same yesterday, the same Christ that anointed the Word in the days of Noah. The same Christ, that--that Tree that was in the Garden of Eden; that Eve left, eating off of this Tree of Life, to take the tree of wisdom; he, she left the Tree of Life, to take the tree of death. Noah's time did the same thing. In the days of the prophets, they did the same thing. In the days of Christ, they did the same thing.
And here they are today. For each one speaking of his time, and, when that thing was fulfilled, each time they took their denominational reasons, and so forth, and the wisdom of the world instead of the anointed Word of Christ. What will you do, as an individual?

L-203   Pilate never got Him off of his hands. I'm--I'm closing, so be real quiet just a moment. Pilate never got Him off of his hands. Neither will you, in the way that he did, trying any of these schemes. He never did it. You know what happened to Pilate? He lost his mind. It got so all he could hear was that crucifixion. All he could hear was a rage, that he finally went insane.

L-204 And they got a legend way up in Norway, or not... I beg your pardon. Up in Switzerland; where, I've been up there, a missionary. They claim thousands gather there, from world over, on Good Friday; a hole of water where Pilate committed suicide. He finally dashed himself to death in this pool of water. And they claim that every Good Friday, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the water turns blue, it boils up from where Pilate's body laid. He rejected It. There is still Blood on his hands. And he reject, he refused; the water.
You can't wash Him off your hands. There is no water, no fuller soap, that can cleanse It. He is on your hands. What will you do with Him?

L-205 Here is the only thing that you can do. If you cannot wash Him off your hands; you can't pass Him on to something else; you can't just mythically pass it by. There is no way in the world. The only thing you can do is accept It, in your heart. That's the way to get rid of Him. Take Him off your hands and put Him in your heart, or leave Him on your hands and stand the Judgment. That's the only thing that you can do.
Pilate's end was a terrible one.

L-206   The Word says that these who keep Him on their hands... I was going to read It. But It said, "They cried to the rocks and the mountains. They prayed, but their prayers were too late." See? They cried, "Hide us from the face of Him that sets upon the Throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, that is to the Ram, the Life of the Lamb that's come. For, the great Day of Judgment has happened, and who shall be able to stand?"

L-207 What do you think Oswald is going to do now when he walks out before the Supreme Court, and see those angry eyes of the--the jury and all setting there? He knows what's going to happen. It'll be either a gas chamber, or a rope hanging there, or something. He's got to face it.
