<TITLE>32. Par 317-325</TITLE>L-317 Everything identified Him in nature. That's the reason He was born in March or April, not in December; He couldn't be, there's twenty-foot of snow up there in that time of year. Not no sun-god, but He was the Son of God. See? Roman sun-god on the twenty-fifth day of December, when the solar passes its places in there and they had the Roman circuses, and called the sun-god's birthday, and they make it the Son of God. No, no. He was the Son of God. His birthday was with the rest of nature. Exactly.
Now notice again now as we go on, we got a little time left.

L-318   Now to the perfect. After the stalk has been formed; after the tassel has been formed; after the grain has come onto the cob; then it has to come to perfection, back to a regular grain again.
And, remember, the grain must be germitized. See? If it don't, it won't live. See? None of that was outside of them messages will ever come to Life. It has to be germitized to It. But, remember, the same Life that was in the stalk is in the grain. It's just maturing itself right back, see. He revealed Hisself, (what?) Son of man, the grain that went into the ground. Get the Message? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
The Greeks said to Him, "We would see Jesus."

L-319 He said, "Except the grain of corn falls into the ground." See? All right.

L-320   Now what did He reveal Hisself next? In a different form; stalk and tassel, and so forth, and all the leaves and everything. He revealed Hisself then, (what?) same Spirit, but in a different form. See? But what's the last of that corn? It comes back to the original grain. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-321 And His ministry comes, from them reformations, back to the original Word again. The Word comes to a prophet. And He promised it, in Malachi 4, "And to restore the Faith of the people back to the original grain." What went in the ground is here the same. The grain is come up through here. It come up as Son of God, now It reveals Itself here as Son of man, and then It reveals Itself as Son of David on the Throne. See, them three sons, just exactly. Oh, my, again like the original!

L-322   Now to the perfect ministry of Himself; not some man, not some denomination, as they've worked down through that age there, see; but Himself made manifest, manifests Himself to the promise, making Saint Luke 17:28, Malachi 4, and so forth, Hebrews 13:8, just exactly right. At that time, what time should it be? When the royal Seed of Abraham is looking for the promised Son. And all types must be fulfilled. And God Himself appeared in the form of a human being, to Abraham's natural seed, before the destruction, and Jesus said it would be the same thing to this royal Seed before the promised Son returns.

L-323   Notice the old veil that hid the Glory. The old badger skins, there was no beauty to be desired of it; neither was His flesh. That's the reason people said, "A little old stooped over Fellow like that?" Probably thirty years old, and gray, and His beard gray, wasn't much to look at. The Bible said, "There's no beauty we should desire Him." He didn't look like a King, the old badger skin, but, oh, what was on the inside!

L-324 And a little bunch of "holy-rollers" sitting together in a hot building like this, they call them, not much beauty to be desired, but what's on the inside! I'm sure it's veiled from many hearts, you see. You see? All right.

L-325   Outwardly It was nothing, but all was on the inside. Once inside of It, then you see It. How do you get into It; shaking hands, joining? No. Born into It. Dying, getting rid of your old badger skin, see, your old self, to get into a new one. See? Forsake the old badger skin.
