<TITLE>18. Par 150-156</TITLE>L-150 He was the Word. Isaiah 9:6 is Jesus Christ. And when It was made flesh and dwelt among us, It lived just exactly what It did. Moses said over there, in the Book of Exodus, "The Lord your God," or Deuteronomy, "the Lord your God shall raise up a prophet, likened unto me; and it shall come to pass, whoever will not hear Him, will be cut off from amongst the--the people." And when He come, He did just exactly what the Word said He would do. And they found fault with Him, because their systems had cut It off and made the Word of God non-effective to them. See? They couldn't believe such things as That. They couldn't believe those kind of things, because it was passed the time, they thought. Oh!

L-151   For, He has proven His Word to be the same. He would vindicate the Word today, as He vindicated It then. He would condemn, fiercely, every denominational system in the world, if He come on the earth today. That's what He did, the first place. That would be the thing He would hit. That's exactly what He hit when He come the first place. As He did then, so would they do for this time, too. And He did then, for He never changes His Word. He never changes His system. It's always the same, It's the anointed Word each time, for the age. That's right.

L-152 So again, as we find it today, if He come, His plans for holding the world together would be rejected just like it was then.

L-153   But listen, in closing, I want to say this. We are not promised a system, we are not promised a denomination, a super denomination, a super plan of some sort. But we are promised the Kingdom, an Eternal Kingdom. Amen. That's what we are promised, having Eternal Life in this Eternal Kingdom. And the Government is controlled by the Eternal King, His Eternal Word given out to His people that has Eternal Life. And the Eternal Life people feast not upon the things of the world, but it's written, that, "Man shall live by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." So when we both now... We receive this Kingdom, and we find out that, "Both heaven and earth will pass away, but this Word shall never pass away." And this Word is the Kingdom. This is the King and Kingdom, the System, the Life, it's every bit right in Here.

L-154   If God judges His world by a church, which church is He going to judge it by? How many is there? Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of different denominational churches. If the Catholic is right, which Catholic? If the Greek Catholic is right, then the Roman is wrong. If the Roman is right, the Greek's wrong. So, you see, if the Methodist is right, the Baptist is wrong. If the Baptist is right, the--the Pentecostal is wrong. If the Pentecostal is right, then the Presbyterian is wrong. See? So you would be all so confused.

L-155   But God hasn't left us without any witness or any--any--any standard that we should stand by. That's this Word! He said, "Let every man's word be a lie, and Mine be the Truth." That's right.

L-156 For, "Both heavens and earth will pass away." We're told here, that, "We receive a Kingdom that cannot be moved." Yes, sir. When all these worldly kingdoms are falling now, and the whole world falling apart, yet we are baptized into a Kingdom that cannot be moved. Amen. We receive a Kingdom. So, when the world falls apart, we are borned into this Kingdom that cannot fall apart. It's God's Eternal Word, and we stand on that. It can never fall apart.
