<TITLE>05. Par 45-57</TITLE>L-45   It's still the Word! The Word is God. God, in every age, has lotted so much of His Word. And in there, watch what He did, He sent a--a prophet. "And the Word of the Lord comes to the prophet." The prophet reveals It to the audience, and the audience believe It. And, then, that is God in action, God moving by His Spirit.

L-46   Now we find He identified Himself as the Son of man here, now, to fulfill. Now, when He came on earth, remember, He identified Himself to the public, outside, He identified Himself as Son of man. He came in three sons' name; He came as Son of man, Son of God, Son of David. Now, Son of man is a "prophet." Even Jehovah Himself called Ezekiel, said, "Son of man." Jehovah, speaking to a man, prophet, called him, "Son of man." And Jesus identified Himself as Son of man, 'cause the Scriptures cannot be broken.
In Deuteronomy 18:15, Moses said, after...

L-47 The children of Israel said, "Don't let God speak anymore. We want Moses to speak to us."

L-48 He said, "I won't speak to them no more like that, but I will send them a Prophet."

L-49 In Deuteronomy 18:15, he said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet likened unto Me." And so that Scripture cannot be broken, He had to come as Son of man. Now that was for His age, when He was here on earth.

L-50   Then when He died, rose, ascended, and sent back the Holy Spirit, that was the Son of God. God is a Spirit, and through the Church Age it's been Son of God.

L-51 And then in the Millennium, it's Son of David, setting on the throne, ruling. He has ascended up. "He that overcomes shall sit with Me on My throne, as I have overcome, and set down on My Father's throne." He is setting on the Father's throne now. But in the Millennium, He sets upon His Own throne, because He is the Son of David.

L-52 He is Son of man, Son of God, Son of David. See, it's just perfectly.

L-53   Now we find out, He had to come as a prophet. The unchanging of His Word! God changes not. God does not change, for He was the Prophet that was in Joseph. He was the Prophet, He was God in Joseph. He was God in David.

L-54   Watch Joseph, just portrayed the life of Christ almost perfect, but he made a mistake, to show that it wasn't Him. Man make mistakes. See, he told Pharaoh, he said... He told his father, which was a prophet, Jacob, he said, "You tell Pharaoh that--that we are herdsmen, because a shepherd is an abomination to an Egyptian." But the father, the Spirit wouldn't let him do it; he said, "Your servants, the shepherds." So you see Joseph there making a mistake.

L-55 David, the great man, made a mistake. A man after God's Own heart, yet took Bathsheba, thinking he could hide that from the very God that he had served, all of his life, but God exposed him by Nathan the prophet. See?

L-56   But yet look at David when he was going out, exiled from his own people, a rejected king. His own daughter had been ravished by her brother, and the other brothers had killed him. And here he was, Absalom had raised up and separated the army, causing revolution; and David, his own father, was excommunicated, taken away, rejected by his people. Going out of the city, the little crippled-like fellow dragging along there, making fun of him, and spitting on him. That guard pulled his sword, said, "I'll let that dog's head stay on him, spitting on my king?"
David said, "Let him alone. God told him to do that."

L-57 No doubt, David didn't know what he was doing; walked up the same Mount of Olives there, and looked down, weeping, a rejected king. Where, a few hundred years after that, Jesus Christ set on the same mountain, the Son of David, weeping as a rejected king, and they spit on Him, also.
