<TITLE>27. Par 260-267</TITLE>L-260   And now, Pentecost, keep your nose out of that World Council of churches. Now, you ministers here, you'll write into headquarters, to--to these people. Now, you won't have to write to--to the Assemblies and many of them, 'cause they done set the thing out, they want nothing to do with it. And you Baptist brethren, too, keep your head out of there. Don't you see that's exactly the mark of the beast coming up? You know who is going to gulp it all up, if you know anything about the Scripture. If the Words reflect Itself in you, stay away from that thing. Your denomination will run into that. And you're going to have to do it or excommunicate your denomination. You can't be a denomination and stay there, because you've got to come in or stay out.

L-261 Then, you're no more organization, then you've showed yourself. Exactly. God bless you, if you do it. Hard to tell how many will do it. But some will, no doubt. Yes, sir.

L-262   Deceived, and Jesus called them "devils." Now, but when Jesus was standing there, (what) every temptation, He rebuked it with the Word, and stood there by the Word. God vindicated Him.

L-263 Like over, the other night, I preached on Michelangelo. How many was ever at Forest Lawn and seen Moses' monument there, by Michelangelo? That was striking, when I went in there the first time and seen it. Michelangelo almost spent his lifetime, of making. In his mind, he had what--what Moses ought to look like. And he--he wanted to get--get him fixed before he died. And he spent years and years, of carving out, chipping off here, and breaking off here, and polishing here. Till, finally one day when he had it finished, after many years, he was standing there with a rag in his hand, like this. He stood back and looked at it, the vision that was in his mind, for since he was first heard of Moses, it ought to look like that. There it was, flashed before him. He got so inspired by his own work, he grabbed a hammer and struck it on the leg, and holler, "Speak, Moses!" He thought it was Moses should speak, he was so much like the thing that was in his mind. And that mar on the leg is still there. It's a perfect statue all but that chip off of the leg, the right leg. Watch it in Forest Lawn, as you go in the door, a reproduction of it. Michelangelo's Moses, his masterpiece, that, that sealed his life.

L-264   God is a great Sculptor, right, He made man in His image, to reflect Him, and He is the Word. And what did He do? He tried Adam; he failed, Moses failed, all the rest of them failed. But here is One perfect, hallelujah, (what was it?) nothing less than God Himself in flesh, the Word reflected in Him, brought the fulness of the Godhead bodily; not a prophet, yet He was a prophet; not a man, yet He was a man.

L-265 Jews, don't try to claim Him as yours. He was neither Jew nor Gentile. He was God. See? You are what your blood is, see, and, of course, you're flesh. And Mary, of course, Mary didn't have no conception with the Holy Ghost giving her a sensation. God the Father created a germ, or--or an egg in Mary, and a Blood cell in her, also, and it was the Blood of God.

L-266   The blood comes from the male sex. So it was no... The hemoglobins and the blood has to come from the father, 'cause the baby can't even take its mother's disease, like TB. It could inherit it from the breath of the mother, but not inherit it, I mean, but can breathe it and--and catch it. But she cannot take it from the mother, because he, she is free from it, he's not his mother's blood.

L-267 Now, but Jesus was not the blood of a Jew nor a Gentile, He was a creative Blood by Jehovah Himself. He was the Blood of God. The Bible said, "We're saved by the Blood of God." Not the blood of a Jew or blood of a Gentile, it would all be sex, but this was the Blood of God.
