<TITLE>21. Par 146-151</TITLE>L-146   So He, God, came down after going through this, and now every son, that you eat and born of a natural sexual birth, the way you come; then when it comes to a place to where you go through water baptism, then Holy Ghost baptism, then the Holy Ghost comes down at the Fire baptism and claims this creation, the same as it did Him. The Holy Ghost and God is the same Spirit. See? It comes down and claims this body for the resurrection. And He was raised for our justification, "All the Father has given Me will come, not one will be lost. I'll raise it up at the last day. Not one hair of the head will even perish." That is the beginning of the creation of God. This is the continuation of the creation of God. Then the whole earth has to have a baptism. And then the Holy Ghost comes down in a city to dwell upon the earth, and the tabernacle of God is with man, and dwells with them, God has tabernacled here on earth. This whole redemption plan, justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, the same as it is then.

L-147   Now notice, He caused this virgin to conceive, and it's in this she brought forth a Son without knowing a man. This has stumped science through the ages. It still does. They perhaps laughed at Isaiah when he spoke and said this virgin would conceive, "Now, how could that be?"

L-148 I imagine, Isaiah, the embarrassment, when he heard God say, "I'll give them a super sign, I'll give them an everlasting sign, a virgin shall conceive." Now, him, noted amongst the people, his people, a prophet, vindicated of God. Now when he come out before the doctors and so forth, with this statement, "A virgin shall conceive." See, it had never been, since the beginning of time, goes way on back to where God created His first man. But here, now, that, a woman that's here on earth is going to conceive. Think of it in a sensible realm, what if that prophet was embarrassed? But he knowed God would keep His Word, He would prove it. I imagine, every Hebrew family got their little daughter ready to have this baby, see, bought it shoes and boots, or whatever they wear, and little bird-eye, and got ready for--for the baby to come. Generations passed, but God proved His Word! A virgin did conceive, and she brought forth the baby, proved that His prophet's Word was the Truth. He always stands by them.

L-149   This Son of the virgin was the Word made manifest. Now Saint John 1, if you want to read that. Saint John 1, this prophet, this prophet, too. But this Son of the virgin was the Word made manifest, the beginning of the creation of God. Now, the whole earth is God's creation, but it's lost. See? Then He redeems this earth. And you're a part of the earth, and He redeems you by the same way He redeems the whole earth. See? Now, this Son of the virgin was the Word made manifest, "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."

L-150 Satan tried every scheme to make Him discredit this. Satan tried everything that he could to--to make Him discredit it, tried to get Him to take the kingdom without suffering, tried to get Him to take it without redemption (when it was Gods plan in the garden of Eden when He killed the lamb, that only by blood would He take it), even promised Him all the kingdoms of the world if He would take it. Just think of what a promise!

L-151   Don't you realize, my dear precious friends, at this minute, that Satan makes you a promise for... he'll make you one of their best ministers in the association. He'll give you the front seat in every church and make you a deacon. He'll do anything, if you'll just get away from this Word.
