<TITLE>12. Par 108-120</TITLE>L-108   God speaking in the ages, through His prophets, identifying Himself each time through the age that come on.

L-109 Now along came Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet, too. The Bible said He would. Deuteronomy 18:15, Moses said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet likened unto me, and to him shall the people hear."

L-110 Now notice every age, all Israel, all the people believed that, the prophets, when they were identified prophets. Hebrews thirt-... Hebrews the 1st chapter, said, "God, in sundry times and divers manners spake to the fathers through the prophets; in this last days, through His Son Jesus Christ." You see, through His Son Jesus Christ. Notice, never changes His way; the same thing, always the continuity of God's Word. God never did use a system, never did use an organization, never did use groups. He uses one single person.

L-111   If you're Methodist, Baptist, that's all right; Presbyterian, Pentecostal, that's good; but God deals with you as an individual. It's you, not your church. You are the one that's responsible, not what your church says. What God said to you! It must be with the Word. Yes, God deals with individuals. He's always did.

L-112 The prophets, there's not a school of prophets. They tried that one time and failed. So they find out, Ahab had a bunch of them down there. But God had one, too, by the name of Micaiah, that all the rest of them hated, but he had the Truth then He had the truth of the Word, because His prophecy was according to the Word.

L-113 It's always got to be. The prophet is sent to vindicate the Word promised for that day.

L-114 Now there is exactly how they failed to see Jesus. That's exactly. Look at those man, those Pharisees and Sadducees, scholars that we don't have today. They must be born a certain, out of a certain tribe, Levi. Their great-great-great-great-great-grandfathers were priests, all the way through. They studied that Word, day and night, day and night. But when the Word was vindicated, they didn't know it. See, they had tradition. Jesus said, "You with your traditions has made the Word of God of no effect." Now, He come just exactly the way the prophet said He would come, but, you see, they had a tradition and they couldn't see That.

L-115   "This baby born down there, a illegitimate birth, and in a cow stable, how could that be? And this guy didn't go to any school. He had no credentials. He had no fellowship card. He didn't belong to any organization. They knowed no school He went to. How could this be anything?" But it was. They failed to see.

L-116 He said, "The works that I do, testify of Me. Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life; and They are They that testify, tell you Who I am. They are My testimony, the Scriptures." Said, "If you don't believe Me, believe the works I do. They tell you Who I am."
They said, "We have Moses. We believe Moses."

L-117 Said, "If you believed Moses, you would believe Me; he wrote of Me." See?

L-118 They was so dark, and still they couldn't see it. Wonder if that couldn't repeat? It's prophesied to, you know. It was prophesied to, there.
You say, "In this day?" Oh, yes.

L-119 "Heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, despisers of those that are good, having a form of godliness, but denying the Power thereof; from such turn away." It's prophesied, and all prophecy must be fulfilled. I wonder if we're close to that time. I just wonder if we are. Let's look around just a little bit and see how at ease we are in Zion. Now we find out.

L-120   Let's see what Jesus was, when He come. He was the Word. He was absolutely the Word. And the Word is always corrective. It corrects the error. Although the error don't believe it, sometime, but the Word corrects the error.
