<TITLE>06. Par 50-63</TITLE>L-50   It was Jesus Christ that was in David. When David, the son of... David went up on the mountain, a rejected king, and wept over Jerusalem, that was nothing but Christ in him. For about eight hundred years later, the Son of David set up over the Mount of Olives and looked down upon Jerusalem and wept, and said, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft would I have hovered you as a hen would her brood, but you would not!"

L-51 When Joseph was in prison, that was Jesus. When he was sold for pretty near thirty pieces of silver, that was Jesus. When he was made Potiphar's man, that was Jesus. When he set at the right hand of Pharaoh. And when he left, everybody... the trumpet sound, and everybody had to bow a knee, that was Jesus. No man could come to Pharaoh only through--through Joseph; no man can come through God, only by Jesus. It was Jesus, the Word prophesied being fulfilled, spoke in shadows and types.

L-52 When Jesus was here on earth, He did the same thing the prophets did, that's why they knowed that He was God's manifestation of His Word. It didn't need to be interpreted.

L-53 When Nathanael saw this, he fell down, said, "Thou art the King of Israel, the Son of God, the King of Israel. We know You, no man could do this."

L-54   Nicodemus came by night, said the same thing for the Pharisees. But, you see, they were so hooked up in their Ecumenical Council that they could not accept It. He expressed what they said, said, "Rabbi, we..." Who's "we"? Their council! "We know that Thou art a teacher come from God, 'cause no man could do these things 'less God be with Him." They recognized It, they knowed It was, but they were so hooked into it.

L-55 And God, in the past forty years, has shook this nation with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and man and women are still outside of It because they're hooked into a same thing, living in a glare of another day. What's the matter? Everyone wants to be a Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, or something. See, it's a glare.

L-56   They were living in the glare of Moses' day. What did he say? He said... They said, "We're Moses' disciples."

L-57 He said, "If you had knowed Moses, you'd knowed Me. Moses wrote of Me!"

L-58 If you had knowed Luther, you'd know this age! If you had knowed Methodist, you'd know this age! For Christ wrote of this age! The Words that's being fulfilled has to be fulfilled in this age. It doesn't need somebody to interpret It, God does His Own interpreting. God interprets Hisself, because He's the only One that can interpret It. God's promises always vindicates what He said, and that's the interpretation.

L-59   Now, Jesus, (to save time), Jesus said, in Saint John, the 14th chapter, the 12th verse, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Did He say it? That's right. That don't need any interpreting. When somebody does that work, that's God. Certainly!

L-60 He also said in there, "As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." Jesus said that. Did He say it? Certainly, He said it! That needs no interpreting.
They say, "Well, that meant..."

L-61 It meant just exactly what He said! "As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." What about the days of Lot? Let's go back just for a moment, find out what they were doing.

L-62   There were three classes of people in the days of Lot: believer, make-believer, and unbeliever. That's in every crowd, the same thing.
We find out that the Sodomites was the unbeliever.
Lot was the make-believer.

L-63 Abraham was the believer. He was the one the covenant was confirmed to. He was the one that was looking for a promised son. He was the one who was expecting it. Amen. (I'm not "amening" myself. Amen means "So be it!") And that's right. Abraham was not in Sodom. Abraham was up and out of Sodom. He's a type of the spiritual Church today.
