<TITLE>11. Par 98-107</TITLE>L-98   And we find that that goes for a seasons, and then there is Words that God has spoken to come to pass. And then they all be getting mixed up; and then God sends us prophet on the scene, and that prophet vindicates that Word for that age, always. Go through the Church Ages, what we're supposed to have, see if you don't picture out those man down through the Church Ages as we see them, since the--the apostles. Now notice this, again.

L-99 God spoke to Noah, and he was a prophet, told him about what was coming. He prophesied, and it happened.

L-100   Now along come Joseph. Joseph, a perfect example, that was Christ in Joseph. Why, you notice, he was loved of His father, despised of his brothers, because he was a seer. They hated him, without a cause. The man couldn't help, what he was he was. And the other brothers hated him, a very good type of all ages. Always, when a seer comes on the scene, the rest of them hate him, for the same cause that they did Joseph. He couldn't help it. He re-... He could interpret their dreams; never was he wrong. He--he foretold things; never was he wrong. And his brothers hated him, without a cause.

L-101 And, notice, his life portrayed Christ to us, exactly. Even sold, almost, for thirty pieces of silver, taken up out of the ditch; and set at the right hand of Pharaoh, the ruler of the world at that day. And every time he left the palace, they sounded a trumpet, and said, "Every knee bow, 'cause Joseph is coming." A perfect type of Christ in the Millennium; when the trumpet sounds and the... He'll come forth, and every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess to him.

L-102 Notice, in his prison, he was a prophet. That's when he was sold and put in the prison, on account of Potiphar's wife. Then we find that in there the butcher and the baker, they both had a dream, and he interpreted the dream, and one was lost and one was saved. So did Jesus on the cross, exactly; one was lost, one was saved, when He was in His prison, tacked to the Cross. Just a perfect example.

L-103   We find out that when Moses come on the scene now, now, Moses could-a not come in the same spirit or the same way, with the same message that--that Noah had. It was another age, to fulfill another word. God said, "Your seed will sojourn in a strange land, be a--a servant for four hundred years, then I'll bring them out with a mighty hand." But when Moses was called; took forty years of schooling, then forty years to get it all out of him again, then God called him by the supernatural Light, a Pillar of Fire laying back in a burning bush. And he knowed more about God, in five minutes, than he learned in forty years, because he was in His Presence. That's what I...

L-104 When a man is in the Presence of God, then he knows something. He knows something.

L-105 Not, he can't learn it in books. You can't learn God by books. Education take... You say, "He is D.D.D., Ph.D." That just takes him that much farther from God, to me. You don't know God by education.

L-106 You know God by faith, and you believe Him. That's how you know God. And, yet, that's why I think our meetings, in the Divine Presence of God, ought to spurn the people's faith to know that; no matter what science says, what the unbeliever says. Christ was sent to you, the believers. You have a right to enjoy His fellowship and His blessings, and everything that He died for. There you are.

L-107   No man has a right to preach the Gospel until he's knelt on those sacred sands back there in the Presence of that Pillar of Fire, and heard the Voice of God speak to him. You know, the religions today can explain it all away, "And this happened, and That's gone. And This was for another age, and this." But a man that's ever met God, face to face, and talked to Him, there is no scientist or no devil, or nothing else, can come on that sacred ground. He was there where he met God, and he knows what he's talking about, and is no need of anybody else trying to tell him.
