<TITLE>10. Par 97-107</TITLE>L-97 Now, see, each one of us would have things, each one of us interpret the Bible different. The Methodist says, "It should be read like this." The Catholic says, "Like this." The Lutheran, "Like this." The Pentecostals, "Like this."

L-98 But the Bible says, that, "The Word of God is of no private interpretation."

L-99 God interprets His Own Word. God don't need any interpreter. He don't need us to interpret. When God makes a promise and manifests it, and makes it so, that's the interpretation thereof. God said, in the beginning, "Let there be light," and there was light. That don't need any interpretation. When God said, "There'll be light," and light sprung in, that interprets His Own Word. He said, "A virgin shall conceive," and she did. He said He'd "pour out His Spirit in the last days, upon all flesh," and He did. It don't need any interpretation. When God makes His Word plain to you, that's giving the interpretation.

L-100   Now, when Moses come, he could not have took Noah's message. Neither could Moses have took... or--or Noah took Moses' message. Neither could Joshua have took any of their message, see, each one. Isaiah could not have took another's. Each message is for that age.

L-101 And with the age that we're living in, when that Word is interpreted, God speaking that Word out and making the Word for that age live, giving the interpretation of it, that is God in Christ, manifesting. See? Because, Christ is the Word, and when the Word is made manifest, that is Christ in every age, then.

L-102   It was God that was in Joseph. Joseph's character just exactly typed Christ. He was born in the time of all the great church there with his father. His brothers hated him because he was spiritual. He saw visions and could interpret dreams, and his brothers hated him, without a cause. If that wasn't just exactly the reason they hated Jesus!

L-103 And notice, he was loved of his father; so was Jesus. Sold for almost thirty pieces of silver; like Jesus. Throwed into a ditch, and supposingly be dead; just like Jesus. Taken up and put into a prison; just like Jesus, to the cross. Then was sent over to Pharaoh's house, and become the right hand of Pharaoh; and just like Jesus, ascended up on the right hand of God. And when Joseph left the palace, trumpets sounded, and every knee had to bow, Joseph was coming; and so when Jesus leaves the Throne, and return, the trumpet will sound, and every knee shall bow.

L-104   He was in--He was in David. When David was rejected from his own people, of being king, and went up on the hill, looked back over the Mount of Olives; as he was being excommunicated from his own people, went up the hill, looked back over the city, and wept. Eight hundred years from there, the Son of David set on the same hill, weeping, because He was rejected in His Own city. And said, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft would I have hovered you as a hen does her brood, but you would not." See? It's Christ in every generation. That was Christ in David.

L-105 The Bible said, "Moses forsook the treasures of Egypt, the pleasures and riches of Egypt, esteemed the reproach of Christ greater treasures." And he followed Christ in the wilderness, which was the Pillar of Fire. That, well, it was the Logos that went out of God, which was Christ, the anointed.

L-106   And now, we find that in each one of those ages, usually people don't want to believe it, because they're already set in their way. You're turning a corner. You're building a building. And then get to the corner, everybody is running this way, they don't want to turn that corner. But the building goes that way, if the Word says it goes that way. See? There's where we get those junctions of time. That's where it's hard. That's where men had sweat it out.

L-107 Now, remember, God never changes His way of doing things; always through the Scripture, just the same. Now, in the days of Noah, that was Christ was in Noah. That was Noah...
