<TITLE>07. Par 60-72</TITLE>L-60 Therefore, during the time of the reformations, there come in reformers, as the Seven Seals proved that it was. But in the last days now, it was supposed to be revealed again. Because, we find in the Scripture, in Malachi 4, that there is to be an anointing come down and to restore again that original Faith, "and to bring the faith of the people back to the original pentecost, the Faith of the fathers."

L-61   And we took the Elijah of the first run; we took the Elisha to follow him; we took John the Baptist after that, who was the Elisha of that day; and a promise for another in this day.

L-62 Now, John the Baptist was not the Elisha of Malachi 4. He was the Elisha of Malachi 3. Jesus said so. "Behold, I send My messenger before My face, to prepare the way." We find him being that.

L-63 Now, in doing so, in finding those positions, we know that all the rest the Scripture, inspired of God, reveals to us that we're in the last day.

L-64   Now, if I come with the message of Pentecost, I would be in the Laodicean Church Age, and it wouldn't be right.

L-65 That's the reason that Wesley could not take Luther's message. Luther was in one age, church age, and Wesley was in another church age. If Jesus would have come in the... with the message of Moses, it would not have worked. If Moses would have come with the message of Noah, it would not have worked.

L-66 But God has lotted to His--His--His people, of every age, a Scripture. And before the age can come into existence, into time, then the churches has got it so mixed up that they--they don't know where they're at.

L-67   That's the reason they fail to recognize Jesus being the Son of God. They, their traditions had blinded their eyes, but He was exactly with the Scripture.

L-68 The prophets was the same. Jesus said, "Which of you, of your fathers, didn't stone those prophets that were sent to you?" Then God sends His prophet, to... and the prophet is the living Word of God, made manifest.

L-69 Jesus said, "How can you condemn Me, to say, 'I'm the Son of God,' and you call, in your own laws... You said, those who the Word of the Lord came to," which were the prophets, "you called them 'gods.' And they are, for the Scriptures cannot be broken," He said. "Then how will you condemn Me?" When He is... They were a part of the law, they were part of the Word of God, but Jesus was the fullness of the Word of God. His whole plan of redemption, God's whole sufficiency, was in Him.

L-70   And now, through the church ages, they've done the same. And the Seven Seals is to reveal all the mysteries that was left off during that time, because we're without prophets, and the Word does not come to reformers. Prophets!

L-71 God is unchangeable. In Malachi 3, said, "I am God, and I change not." God's first way of doing anything, that's God's ever way of doing anything. God decided He would save man by the shed Blood of an innocent One, in the garden of Eden, and He has never changed it since, and cannot change it. We've tried, by education, by buildings, by systems, by denominations, by ethics, and everything else, and it's all failed. But there's only one place that God meets man, that's, under the shed Blood of the Innocent. Only by the Blood! That was His first decision. See?

L-72 We can make a decision, and next year we can think better. We got a better idea of it, next year. God can't; He's infinite. His first decision is perfect; nothing can move it. I can learn more; we are finite. I can learn more; you can learn more. But God can't learn more; He is perfect, to begin with. And, therefore, His first decision, rest your soul upon it. What the Bible says, that's it!
