<TITLE>10. Par 107-120</TITLE>L-107   Now we find out, that when Philip come up to where He was, and him and Nathanael. Jesus turned and looked upon Nathanael, and said, "Behold an Israelite in whom there is no guile."

L-108 Now you say, "Maybe the way He dressed." They all dressed alike. See?
"And an Israelite in whom there is no guile."

L-109 Now that, almost, shocked him so bad he didn't know what to do. He said, "Rabbi, when did You ever know me? Why, You've never seen me. This is our first time we've ever met. And they tell me You been living down there at Bethany, and--and how--how did You ever know me?"

L-110   Well, he thought, when the Messiah come, that--that, "God would take some kind of a lever and pull it, and the corridors of Heaven would drop down on the... on their big denominational steps out there, and say, 'Caiaphas, I'm sending down my Messiah to you now.' He'll say, 'I've arrived.' And the Angels would come, say, 'This is Him.'"

L-111 See, that's the reason He does it. Then it goes right over them people's head, that sleep, and they never know what's taken place. See? Notice, there He was. He was standing there.
He said, "When did You know me, Rabbi?"

L-112 He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." Oh, my! What eyes!

L-113 He sees you now. He knows you now. He's just the same, yesterday, today, and forever.

L-114 What eyes! Fifteen miles, the day before, around the mountains, "I saw you when you were under the tree."

L-115   What did he do? He ran up and fell down, and said, "Thou are... Rabbi, Thou art the King of Israel! Thou art the Son of God!" He believed it. Why? He was thoroughly identified that He was the Word. Because He could discern the thoughts that was in the heart. Yeah. There He was, standing there.

L-116 Now there was those standing by, who didn't believe that. No. Many of them didn't believe it. There was some of the priests and things standing by, they said, "This Man is Beelzebub." They... The--the--the thing was done, the Scripture was identified, and then the--the--the clergy of that day had to give an answer to their congregation. And they couldn't answer it no--no other way, but just either say He is or He isn't, so they said, "This Man does this through Beelzebub." In other words, "He's a fortuneteller, an evil spirit." Anybody knows that a fortuneteller is a devil. So he said, "This Man does this evil though Beelzebub."

L-117 And Jesus said, "Now, I'll forgive you for that," the sacrifice had never been made, the atonement wasn't made yet. But He said, "When the Holy Ghost is come, to do it, one word against It will never be forgiven, in this world nor the world to come." So you see where it throws us today.

L-118   Now, this was quite a thing, and, but Philip and Nathanael believed with all their heart. Now that was the way Jesus identified Himself, yesterday, as being Messiah. Now, we all know... Just a few minutes now.

L-119 We all know that there is only three races of people in the world, and that's Noah's sons, Ham, Shem, and--and Japheth; see, and that's Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan. Now we, as Gentiles, we were heathens, Romans and whatever more, in them days, the Anglo-Saxon, and we worshiped idols. But the Jews was looking for a Messiah. And the Samaritans was looking for a--a--a Messiah.

L-120 Now, Jesus said, when He was on His road down to Jericho, right down below the hill from Jerusalem. "I have need to go by Samaria." So He went up there, at Samaria, and set down at the gate, at the well. There's... It's still just like it was then. They haven't changed a bit. There is the old panoramic like this here, and the vines grow in rock wall. And--and He just set down, and sent His disciples into this little city, called Sychar, to get some victuals, food.
