<TITLE>05. Par 46-57</TITLE>L-46   It's possible, today, that good man, fine man, walk with Christ, reading His Word, and still don't recognize that this is the hour that certain things of this Bible must be fulfilled. It's the hour that we're living in, the time is at hand when these things must be done. It's written, and thus it must be fulfilled because God promised it. Yes, our eyes must be opened to see the Word. Now, you can look at the Word...

L-47 The Pharisees had that Word drawed out just exactly the way the Messiah was coming. They believed they were right. And here He was born and walked right among them, and they condemned Him; when He told them, "You search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life, and They are They that testify of Me."
"Search the Scriptures."
They said, "We are Moses' disciples."

L-48 He said, "If you would be Moses' disciples, you would know Me, for Moses wrote of Me."

L-49 And He did. Moses said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet like unto Me, a law-giver, and so forth, and a prophet, and him the people shall hear."

L-50 See, if they'd have knowed Moses' writing, they would have knowed Him. They thought they knowed Moses' writing, but, you see, they didn't know it. See, they were blinded to that very fact.

L-51 So just a few words from Him, like that, what did they do? Sprung up and said, "This Man has got a devil. Comes to teach us? What school did He come from? We have no record of Him. Wonder whose fellowship card He is packing?" Or, something on that order was the question.

L-52   But they failed to look and see that the very God that promised the Word was a vindicating it right there through that Person of Jesus Christ, for He was the Light of the hour. He was the Light for the people to walk in. And, only Word of God produces Light. Only God's Word produces Light.

L-53 God's Word produces the sunshine. God's Word produces the earth. God's Word produces the air. Everything is the Word of God made manifest, everything that's got a reality to it.

L-54 When He was here, He said, "I am God, and besides Me there is no other."
Some looked. Let's take some that did look.

L-55   Isaiah, one time, a young prophet... Here last time at Phoenix, I spoke of him, to--to the businessmen, I believe it was. How he had been leaning heavy upon the king's shoulder, Uzziah, and we find out that Uzziah got all puffed up and he was stricken with leprosy. Then Isaiah had to go down to the temple and pray, and say, confess him to be a sinner. And he saw the Cherubims coming forth, with their wings covering their holy faces, and feet, and flying with wings, and crying, "Holy is the Lord God." When Isaiah got a glimpse of Jesus Christ, here is what he saw. He never saw any just ordinary man. He never saw a philosopher.

L-56   As most of our Protestant churches today, I think it's sixty-eight or eighty-six percent of them, in a survey, denied believing. They deny the virgin birth of Jesus Christ; our Protestant preachers. That's right. This is off of statistics. Right down, they deny the virgin birth. They do not believe it was actually virgin. So, then, Isaiah didn't see something like that. Some of them, they said, "He was a good man." Some of them, like some of our denominations today, said, "He's a good Man. Sure, there is no fault in Him, but, I tell you, His Words cannot be established or believed today."

L-57   Well, any belief and any faith that's established outside of the Word of God, let it alone. Jesus said, "Every man's word will fail, but Mine will not. Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away."
