<TITLE>09. Par 95-112</TITLE>L-95 "Oh, you're doing fine, Moses, just keep it up. You married a fine woman; she is a beautiful child. Sure got a fine son! Glory to God!" That's the same old school. See?

L-96 But He was ready to do something, so He had to attract the man. And He give the man two signs to do, and said, "Each sign had a voice." That proves that it's so. Now watch what them voices spoke, even creation. Jehovah was ready to speak now.

L-97   Again, the coming of a prophet is a sign. Did you know that? The coming of a prophet, to the age, is a sign.

L-98 Now, I don't mean a Doctor of Divinity. I don't mean some loyal pastor, some good person. Them is fine. Them is God's servants.

L-99 But a prophet is a sign. The Bible says so here. And what's the sign of? It's a sign that His Word is fixing to fulfil, be fulfilled by the voice of this prophet's sign.

L-100 Notice, the coming of a prophet is a warning sign of judgment at hand. Did you know that? Judgment is ready to strike if there is a prophet in the land.

L-101 Remember, he has certainly, first, got to be vindicated by God and the Word for that day, and then he does the sign. And then watch that sign, what he predicts. He said, "If it comes to pass, then hear him." Numbers 12:6. "If it doesn't come to pass, forget it." It's got to be a Scriptural sign that He gives.

L-102 And what He give for a sign, one time, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He continually gives it the same. "The Word of the Lord came to the prophets." They was the Word. And when Jesus come, He was the Word. And the Word discerned the thoughts and intents of the heart, continually, on and on. Now watch.

L-103 The coming of this prophet, gives the sign, of, "judgment is at hand," always.

L-104   Let's just stop for just a few minutes. I won't take too long. Let's just check a couple now, for about ten minutes. And the rest of the message, rather, for ten minutes.

L-105 Noah, a prophet on the land--in the land, a sign of the coming judgment. Moses, a prophet in the land, the sign of a coming judgment. Elijah, prophet in the land, sign of coming judgment. John, a prophet in the land, a sign of coming judgment to Israel; they were absolutely cut off.

L-106 Notice, sign! What does the sign do? The sign is to attract the attention, and get the elected ready, and out of the way before judgment strikes. That's what Noah did, got the elected ready. The rest of them, and what does it do? The sign, and the voice of the sign, condemns the unbeliever and gets him ready for judgment. It gets the elected ready for the escape. That's what sign is. That's what signs are given for, for the coming judgment. To the elected, they see it.

L-107   Like the little woman with a pure heart, and a defiled body; and the Pharisee with a pure body, and a defiled heart. It condemned one, and saves the other one.

L-108 And the very judgments that saved Moses, condemned the world; his preaching.

L-109 It gets the elected ready. What is the elected ready for? When they see a God-sent sign, they look back in the Scripture and see if that's supposed to be there. "Yeah, here it is." What is it? Pending judgment. Then the elected listens to the voice.

L-110 But the unelected ignores, and said, "Nonsense. Go on! We'll take the same old school." See? That's the way they did in the days of Luther. That's the way they did in the days of Wesley. That's the way they--they do now, the way they've always done.

L-111 But it is a sign, and it has a voice that follows the sign. And the voice is identified as a Scriptural voice. Now don't forget that. Now keep that going in, because I may never see you again.

L-112 I wish I had a way that I could come down here somewhere and get all my brethren, when they had no revivals going on, put a tent up and just sit, day after day, and teach it till--till it really soaked in. But He wouldn't permit that, I don't think. See, we're too close to the end. I believe we're right now at the end.
