<TITLE>10. Par 87-95</TITLE>L-87   Notice, through the ages, the same way, by His prophets, He has revealed Himself. Them wasn't exactly prophets, they were gods. He said so. For, what they spoke was God's Word. They were the flesh that God was veiled in. They were gods. Jesus said, Himself, said, "How can you condemn Me when I say I'm the Son of God, and your own law says that them who the Word of the Lord came to was gods?" See?

L-88 So it was God formed in a man called a prophet. See? And the Word of the Lord came to this man, so it wasn't the prophet; the prophet was the veil, but the Word was God. The man's word won't act like that. See what I mean? It cannot act in that manner. But potentially it was God. See, He was the Word of God in the form of a man, called "a man."
Notice, He never changed His nature, only His form. Hebrews 13:8, said, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." So He did not change His nature when He come. He is always that Prophet, all down through the age, same thing: the Word, the Word, the Word, the Word. See? He cannot change His nature, but He changed His form. Hebrews 13:8, said, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." He just changed His mask.

L-89   Like I changed from husband, when my child is born, then I'm father. When my grandchild is born, I'm grandfather. See? But, I don't change; that's still--still me. See? (And that's God.) It's just I changed my... See, it's just change your form. See?
Notice. And nature changes it down from a young man to a middle-aged, to an old man. And there you are, you see, you just change your form.

L-90 Now, you couldn't say a little fellow standing up here, sixteen years old, say he was grandfather. He couldn't be. His form has to be changed. A few years changes it, then he becomes grandpa. See what I mean?

L-91 But it's the same Person all the time, the same Person, God all the time. In this way He reveals Himself to His people, in doing this. Notice, through the age of the Pillar of Fire, He revealed Himself to His people. In the age of--of Jesus, He revealed Himself to His people. In the age of the Holy Spirit, as Son of God. Son of David... He always reveals Himself in that manner to His people, making the people to know Him. He is veiled behind something, notice, in the same way, or same nature, every time.

L-92   God veiled in Jesus, to do the work of redemption at the cross. God could not die, as a Spirit. He's Eternal. But He had to put on a mask and act the part of death. He did die, but He couldn't do it in His God form. He had to do it in Son form, as Son of man, on earth. See? He had to be Son form. Then when He returned on Pentecost, He was Son of God again. See what I mean? Get the idea? He was...

L-93   He had to come into human flesh, to... and nobody, no sexual desire. Because that proves again our statement of the serpent's seed, see, "sexual," absolutely sex. Not apples; sex! That's right. That had to be. Notice here, see, for any good man... Look at those prophets back there, but He had to be more than a prophet. See? In order to do that, He had to come virgin birth, showing that virgin birth proved... He had to be born virgin birth, to take the curse off, the Antidote. See what I mean? So, it had to be sex. He proved it in His Own coming; He come not in sexual desire, but through virgin birth. And He changed His mask from Jehovah to Jesus, in order to take the redemptive work in the drama that He was acting out, in God at the cross.

L-94   The Greeks wanted to see Him. In Saint John 12:20, many of you heard me preach on that saying, "Sirs, we would see Jesus." Did you notice that?

L-95 Now, the Greeks were scholars, they were great man. And they had a--they had a--a great feeling for God, as Paul preached to them on Mars' hill. And they were, they--they led--they led the world in science and--and education, they were great people. But they worshiped and believed in mythology and so, books of art and curious arts, and so forth.
