<TITLE>09. Par 64-74</TITLE>L-64   We find out the same thing took place in Egypt, when Moses led the children of Israel out. The whole Egyptian system had become corrupt. And we find now it taken place again, when God sent an anointed messenger down there for His Word. It was to fulfill His Word.
You say, "Was it to fulfill His Word?"

L-65 He told Abraham that's exactly what He would do. And there had to be someone come on the scene, at that time, to make that Word live right before them. God had sent His Moses down there, and, the very thing that He promised to do, he did it, because he was the anointed Word for that hour. He said it would judge that world. God's Word said, "I'll judge that nation with great, mighty wonders and signs."

L-66   There stood a man, just an ordinary man like you or I, got the Word from God, and went out there and spoke creation into existence. Said, "Let..." Picked up the sand, and said, "Let fleas come from the earth." And the Word of God, through that prophet's mouth, being it was right in the hour that it was supposed to be, fleas covered the whole earth. He covered the earth with frogs, with lice. He covered it with all kinds of--of pestilence and things. Because, God made the promise, and the hour was there for it to be anointed, the anointed Word for that hour that they live in.

L-67 That's what we need today, is not back in some seminary system, but anointed Word for the hour that we live in, to bring forth Jesus Christ to the world again. "The same yesterday, today, and forever." There is a--there is a program laid out for this day, a promise of God. And the only way that we'll ever be able to get right, is to let that Word be anointed. That's right. It's always happened. Yes.

L-68   We find out the great moral pollution in the days of Nebuchadnezzar. He had a man anointed. When the hand writing come on the wall, He had a man could read it.

L-69 Days of Lot and Sodom, we find again the world falling apart. God saved what could be saved, out of it.

L-70 In the days of Jesus Christ, we find out that man-made systems had got the world in such a condition, and their politics of that day, until, they, the whole world was falling apart, at the first Christmas.

L-71 Now we've done the same thing, turned right back around and corrupted the Word of God, by systematic religion, till we find it falling apart. What one of them systems can we rely upon now? What system can we go to, the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, or Pentecostal system? There is nothing at all we can do but come back to that anointed Word of the promise for this hour. These systems are frail, they're faultery. They, they're, they're man-made systems, and they will not save you. There is no Life in them. Only Life is in the Word of God. It is Life. He said so.

L-72 And the way it was then, as they were praying, people finds themselves at the end of their journey, or the end of their ropes, as it was in the days of Noah and the days of Moses, and so forth. When they find themselves, that they can't go no farther, then they begin to pray. And when they begin to pray, God always answers. Then Jesus was born.

L-73   The world at that time, as I said, was falling apart. Each nation was looking for a messiah, just as we are today. Rome was looking for a great genius who could come among them, a--a great fellow who had all the military gimmicks, that he could go over there and stomp out Greece and the rest of the world. Greece was looking for the same thing, somebody who could tell them how they could conquer the rest of the world.

L-74 The Jewish religious world of that day was looking for a general. They thought there would come a Messiah down from Heaven, with a great rod of iron in his hands, and He would beat Rome down, stomp them off and run them into the sea. And all there, they was looking for that type of a man. They wanted a general.
