<TITLE>08. Par 86-97</TITLE>L-86 I might not be able to understand all that's in here, but I believe It. It's God's Word. I want to separate myself from anything that's contrary to It. I've tried to stand like that.

L-87   Notice another group, the seventy, He called. One day He was standing, talking to them, and He said, "The Son of man shall ascend up into Heaven from whence He come from."

L-88 They said, "This Man? He has taken us to the place he was born. We know his mother, Mary. Why, we know his brothers. We know all. And then this Man is going to take... The Son of man is coming, going up into Heaven from whence He come from? He come from Bethlehem. How did He do that?" See, He said it in that way, see, and they walked with Him no more. They walked away. They said, "Ah, this Man, we know there is something wrong with Him."

L-89   Them disciples set right there. See? They believed. They had seen the promised Word for that day, vindicated and manifested by Him. Who could create, but God Himself, could take bread and... They knowed He was the Son of God. Whether it was in riddles or not, that whether they understood It or not, they walked right on, anyhow, because the Word was vindicated, and they were separated from anything contrary to It.

L-90 God help us to have faith like that! We believe this Bible to be the Truth. I may not have faith enough to make all the promises come to pass, but I believe It, anyhow. I believe the hour that we're living.

L-91   Joseph, separated from his brethren, without a cause. Now, what was the matter with them? He was not willing to be separated; it wasn't his will to separate. But they separated themselves from him, see, from his bright, shiny dollar; their penny's worth couldn't stand it. They knowed they were patriarchs. They knowed that Isaac was their... or, pardon me, Jacob was their father. And they knowed that to be true. But Joseph was born... He couldn't help it. He was spiritual. He saw visions, could interpret dreams, and they were perfectly right. Whatever he said, was the truth. And his patriarch brothers, moved with envy, and sold him to the Egyptians. See, they--they separated themselves from him because they were pennies. He was of a different quality.

L-92 So is a real believer today, he is of a different quality. They'll separate themselves, (they don't understand It), copper from silver.

L-93   Now we find out, they moved with envy and sold him. Why? They do the same thing today. What it really was, they said they was... It was for jealousy. They didn't want to break down, because that the quality in them were not the quality that was in him. And, because of it, they were jealous, because they were pennies and he was a dollar. See?

L-94 Now, if the penny would say, "Blessed be the Name of the Lord! My brother, dollar here, see, I can't make the change that he does, but I'll make what I can." That's that, we'd go along then. God would get His program over.

L-95   As I preached to you, Sunday, the great symphony of God's Word being beat out. The changes and junctions is only God changing times, like the--the director in the symphony. When we see these changes of ages and changes of times, look down on the Sheet here, and you'll find out we're supposed to be here. They've got to do this; there is no way for them to keep from it.

L-96 And the music, to a man that doesn't understand the symphony, what is it? It's a bunch of rattling noise. He doesn't understand it. He is not even interested. He is wishing, "I wish they'd shut up, so I could go home." He is not interested, 'cause he doesn't know the symphony. He doesn't know it.

L-97 But the Composer knows the end from the beginning. See? And if the director isn't in the same Spirit of the Composer, he cannot act it out, because it's all done by signs. And if the sign don't vindicate It, how is the musicians going to play It? Amen! That's it.
