<TITLE>25. Par 203-214</TITLE>L-203 He knows every junction. He knows the rhythm must... when it must take place. He knows what it takes to mold you, He knows what kind of material He's going to use. See? The backside of the desert sometimes, where God molds righteous men into sages and prophets. See? See? That's where men are beat out. Men are beat out, in the Word. When they got all kind of creed and stuff in them, let them come to the Word and God beats it right out of them, molds it right into This, into the great Sympathy with, of His Word. See? And then they see the Word moving on.

L-204   God knows when the rhythm of it has got to change. He knows how the rhythm goes. I don't know how it goes, but He knows. He knows how it goes, I don't. But I look at it here, and I say, "Well, it's just coming."

L-205 "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but God delivereth them out of them all." See? God has moved through history with the rhythm of the promise of His Word, in each age, in the same rhythm, making His Word. That's how God moved down through history, from all the way from Genesis to Revelation, He has moved through history with His Word. That's right, with the rhythm of--of the power of the Holy Spirit vindicating His Word to the Elected. Remember, He's never been able to touch the outside church. It's only the Elected.

L-206   Look at them priest, said, "This man is Beelzebub. He's a fortuneteller. Why, He--He--He's reading their minds."

L-207 Little did they know, "The Word is sharper than a two-edged sword, a discerner of the thoughts that's in the heart." And He was the Word.

L-208 But this little prostitute standing at the well that day, to get a bucket of water, she said, "I perceive that You're a Prophet. We know the Messiah's coming. We ain't had prophets for hundreds of years, but we know the Messiah is coming. And when He comes, that's what He's going to be."

L-209 He said, "I am He." That was enough. Why? The rhythm beat out! She was looking for that change, from a church denomination to a vindicated Messiah. And here He stood, the Messiah that Moses spoke of, "The Lord your God shall raise a Prophet like unto me." There He is. The rhythm changed, the vindicated Seed recognized It.

L-210   And when the real Word of God falls upon the vindicated, upon the Seed, and they see that vindication of the Word, they recognize It. They're looking at the Word, they know the junction, they know the time, they know the change, they know the beat that's supposed to be in that hour. Hallelujah! They know the beat, they know the time, they know how it's supposed to go. See, only the Elected knows It.

L-211 When Philip saw it, he couldn't stand it any longer, He knew that was Messiah. So he went to a fellow, they had had Bible study together. "Nathanael," he said, "come, see a Man. Come, see what we found, we have found Jesus of Nazareth. We found Jesus of Nazareth, that's the Prophet that Moses spoke of that would come. We found Him. We found Him."

L-212 He said, "How can it be? I just... Where was He?" See, he wasn't... See, he didn't know the rhythm just exactly. They had been studying. But when he got there, he told him, introduced to him the Word.

L-213   And when he got there, Jesus said, "Behold an Israelite," the rhythm begin to take hold, the great drama was being played out there on the platform, or on the ground, that day. Maybe Jesus standing upon a rock, talking to the people. And when Philip come up with Nathanael, He looked over to him, and said, "Behold an Israelite, in whom there's no guile."
He said, "Rabbi, when did You ever know me?"

L-214 He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." Oh, my!
