<TITLE>08. Par 42-45</TITLE>L-42 It was a time of the crucifixion of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He had--He had done nothing, as they could find in Him, and He had--He had answered everything. It was just the hour that it had to be that way.
There is nothing that can happen without there is something behind it to cause it that way. There's got to be some reason for everything that takes place. Because it's--it's motivated, of course, by the--the spirit that's in beings, and in human beings, and so forth. There's a motive, motive of it, and a--and an objective, and there's got to be a reason.
And it, reason this had to happen to this greatest Man that ever lived on the earth, or ever could live; the reason it happened this way, because it was time for it to happen. See? It must be thus, and there was no way to escape it. It, it had to be that time.
And Jesus had come to the earth just exactly the way that God's Word had predicted He would come. He did just exactly what the Word said He would do. He lived the life, just exactly, and God made known, or manifested, the Seed of that time. Now remember, God...

L-43   The Bible begins in Genesis and goes to Revelations. Now here is the lesson that I--I want you to understand, that... See, in each generation it's been spoke, in the Bible, of a certain thing happening through each generation.
Like Daniel saw the... interpret the dream of Nebuchadnezzar; how the Gentile kingdoms would come in, and how they would go down, and how they would go out. And each one of those people in them races and those nations, that Gentile powers that control, has controlled the world, has done just exactly the way that the vision said they would do.

L-44   When Nebuchadnezzar, the head of gold, was taken, then the Medes-o-Persias came in; and the nature of them, according to the--the nature of the material, and according to what the prophet said, just exactly. Nebuchadnezzar, the head of gold, which is the greatest and first of the Kingdom. Then the Medes-o-Persia being silver. And then on down into the thighs, of--of being of brass. And each metal gets harder and harder; gold being the softest. And it ends up in iron, which is the hardest of all of that, is iron.
Now, each one of those kingdoms come down just exactly, by nature, the way that the prophet said that they would do. And what was he doing? He was sowing a seed for the nations to watch, and each time that when that kingdom was issued in, it had to do according to what that Word said.

L-45   And then Messiah was to come on the scene. And when Christ come on the scene, He had to answer those Words of God that was to be fulfilled, that the prophet spoke of, that what He would do.
Moses said, "He'll be a--He'll be a Prophet likened unto me." And if you would have... we had time to type that back and show just how that in that tremendous time, when Israel was in captivity by Egypt, of how that Moses was born a odd, peculiar child; and how that he--he come up, and was raised up, and how that he was hid in the bulrushes; and how that he become a leader, went into the mountains and got the law, and came back down. And was not only a leader; but he was a priest, and a king, and a governor. All those things, and how that just typed up Christ exactly. And Moses said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet like me." See?
