<TITLE>10. Par 88-97</TITLE>L-88   Now we find out that He, in the beginning, God lotted so much Word to each age, to each--each age. And then as that Word become time for It to be revealed... Don't miss this. When it come time for that Word to be revealed, usually man had it so messed up, till He appeared to a prophet. Search the Scriptures. See? Now remember, the unchanging God, He cannot change His ways. He must every time do it the same, unchanging.

L-89 Let me just give you one example. When man fell, sinned, and God was called on, either to throw him into judgment or to make a way of escape for him. Now, God, in the Garden of Eden, made one plan to save man, one way, and that was through the shed Blood of an innocent subject. He has never changed it. We've tried to build cities, towers, educate, denominate, but it's all failed. God can only meet man under the shed Blood of the Innocent. He did that in the Garden of Eden, and He's never changed it.

L-90 And God never changes His ways. He, if He does, then He is finite like I am, you are. We say, "Well, I was wrong there, but I--I'll be right this time." Not God. He's right in the first place. He don't have to change nothing. He made the promise, and He's God, He stays by it.

L-91   As Abraham, he was persuaded that God was able to keep anything that He promised, so he called anything contrary to the Word as though it wasn't. He just went right on just the same, against scientific, the scientific proofs, and against reasons, against hope, against everything there was. God's Word come first. Abraham said, "Let everything else be wrong." He was going to have the baby, anyhow. And so he had it, see, because he believed it.

L-92   Now we find, then, that the unchanging God always does the same. Now notice, just briefly, in the history of time. Go with me now, just for the next few minutes. Let's go back and find out.

L-93 In the beginning He spoke to the prophets, and the Word of the Lord came to the prophet. And the prophet, being able to foretell, divine things, and it happened just like that, was his identification. A prophet, seer, means, "one who forthtells or tells forth," and also is "a Divine interpreter of the written Word." Anybody knows that, that knows what a prophet means.

L-94 Now the English word, prophet, p-r-o-p-h-e-t, means, "a preacher," just anybody a preaching.

L-95 But a seer of the Old Testament, which was referred to as a prophet, he was the one that foresaw things. He said, "If there be one among you who is spiritual, or a prophet, I the Lord will make Myself known unto him. And what he says comes to pass, then hear him; but if it doesn't come to pass, don't hear that prophet, see, 'cause he's prophesying falsely. But if I have sent him, that'll be My identification, what he says will come to pass. He is born in the world, ordained, foreordained of God to do that." Cause, "All gifts and callings are without repentance." They are foreordained of God.

L-96   Before the world ever begun, He knowed all about it. He knowed every flea, every fly, and how much tallow it would make, and how many times it would bat its eyes. That's--that's infinite, see, infinite. That's just... If it isn't, then He isn't infinite. He knowed everything. And He is... He is omni-ent and omniscient. Because He is omnipresent, that makes... Omniscient makes Him omnipresent. He knows everything, knowed it before the world began.

L-97 He knowed, before the world begin, we would sit here. He knowed how many times I'd raise my hands up-and-down. Now He knowed the words I would say. He knowed how many times you would bat your eyes, what you would think, before the world ever started. What are we afraid about? God is our Father. That's right. He's our Father. We have no worry. People has just lost their faith and confidence in Him.
