<TITLE>29. Par 243-252</TITLE>L-243 But as he was speaking, the man said, "We've got the book-of-the-year." This writer, oh, what is his name, the speaker of it? I forget just exactly what his name is now. He spoke for the Christian Businessmen up in Seattle here not long ago at the World's Fair. And he--he said, this announcer said, "This man has wrote the book, the most outstanding book for this year." I disagree.

L-244   The Book for this year is the Bible! It's the Light of the world. It's God Himself. Our Book-of-the-year is the Bible. For this 1964, our Book is the Bible. And all other years to come, our Book is the Bible. All the years that's past, It's been the Book of the years passed, the Book of the years to come, and It's the Book of Eternity. It reveals it is God. Yes, It reveals God. Every year that is to come, it's the Book-of-the-year. When--whenever you hear the Bible say anything, its promise is a-vindicated, there will come an Eternal, some day. The Bible is the One who gives us this promise, when you hear the Bible say that there's coming a day when Jesus will come. And as I say today now...

L-245 I got to close, 'cause I--I've been here two hours, see, right at it.

L-246   Look, if--if the Bible tells us of these things that is to come, speaks of all these hours that--that we've passed through. The days of Noah is predicted. The days of all these others, the Scripture predicted. The days of Martin Luther was predicted, the days of Wesley, the days of Pentecostal. This hour that we're living in was predicted. Everything happened just exactly the way it was. Then when... What is it? It's the spoken Word of God, which is vindicated by God, makes it the Light of the hour. See, just like the sun is. When the Word, the Word itself, is the Light when it's vindicated for the time that it belongs to. See, it's vindicated, then it's the Light of the hour.

L-247   John was the Light, he--he was more Light than Elijah and them had. Elijah. He wasn't Elijah's Light, but he was Elijah in another form, a-vindicating the Light. See, he was. And when Jesus come, He said, "He was a bright and shining Light for a season. You love to walk in His Light." See?

L-248 And John said, "Now I must dim out. I must go out now, my Light's finished shining. I must go out. He must increase. He's the Light."

L-249 He said, "I am the Light of the world." Amen. That's right. "The same yesterday, today, and forever." And He's still the Light of the world. And what is He? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God." Why was He the Light of the world? If He'd come, said He was Messiah, and He didn't do like the Bible said the Messiah would do, then He wasn't the Light of the world. See, it's the a-vindicated Word that makes it the Light of the world.

L-250   And in this hour that we're living in now, the a-vindicated Word of this hour! Pentecostals, you say, "speaking in tongues," and so forth. That was the Day of Pentecost, that was the Light of the hour then. See, this is another day. He's the Light of the hour today.

L-251   The Seventh Church Age, all smothered out, with Christ on the outside. The moon in identifying it, all the darkness coming upon the earth. The Light pressing in now, begin to show what's going to take place. The thing will be destroyed, and the Light will come in and destroy it. And the Saints shall inherit the earth, the meek shall inherit the earth. The earth, the moon darkness will be took away. The darkness of the night will pass away, the darkness with their death and creeds, and away from the Word of God, perverted things that they're saying. And the Light will break forth upon the day.

L-252   And remember, when the full Bible... Listen, in closing. When this full Bible has been thoroughly a-vindicated, then there will be an Eternal Shalom, Eternal Peace. See?
