<TITLE>11. Par 81-87</TITLE>L-81   But as ever, when He come, He come just exactly the way the Word said He would come. He come into the city just exactly, in our text this morning, the way the Word said He would come. And they said, "Who is it?" Do you see what I mean? They ought to have known who it was. And here... not the outside world, but the church world said, "Who is it? Who is this?" When, there, the Scriptures had plainly said that that's exactly the way He would come. And they say, "Who is it? Who is this fellow? What's all this emotion about? Stop from making all that noise. It makes us nervous." Uh-huh. See? The... See? The very thing they had prayed for was right there at their hand, and they didn't recognize Him. And He come just exactly the way the Scripture said He would come. And if He does today, He'll come just the way the Scripture says He'll come. He ever comes in the taste of God's Word, and not in the taste of some theologian's idea about it.

L-82   By the way, did you know the Word of God never did come to a theologian? Find the Scriptures where It ever did. The Word don't come to theologians; not at all. But you see, if the Word was made manifest today, the Word for our day, It would be in the taste of God's Word. Not in the taste of somebody's idea. God would take His Word that He promised for this day, and anoint It, and It would happen. That's all. There's no way to keep It from happening. It'll do it anyhow, no matter what the church says and what the rest of them believes. It... God will do it anyhow. There'll be just a very few that'll ever know about it. That's right, just a very few. It's always was that way.

L-83   See, with their own interpretation, they couldn't do nothing else 'cause they leaned to what the church had told them. But He would come... He always come then... He did then, rather, and He would every time He comes, and everything He does, it'll be in the taste of the Word. So therefore, we can't put confidence in what other people say. There's only one thing that you can put confidence in, and that's the Word. And the Word is God. And the Word anointed makes the Messiah; the anointed Word of the hour. How beautiful! They missed it, the Word; the right... They had... The Word is always right, but their interpretation of It was wrong.

L-84   I wonder if this great thing, this Ecumenical Council that we got in the world today, and the World Council of Churches forming together make us all one... I wonder if they realize if... That is exactly what the Scriptures said they would do. But they think it's the most wonderful thing in the world, that all of us can join hands and be one. Said, "Jesus prayed that we might be one." That is true. But not that kind of one.

L-85 He said, "Be one as I and the Father are one." Yeah, be that kind of one. Then how will that be? The Word in us would be the anointed Word. That is the oneness of God. See, the oneness of God is the Word anointed in you. See? And then you become a son (a messiah) of the age.

L-86   Now we find the people much the same. The people doesn't change. These people were divided in three groups. And we'll look at that for a few minutes now. I know I'm going to run just a little bit late, if it's all right with you. I'm just so slow, I--I--I just... I don't know; I--I get in and write Scriptures down, and little notes. And then I--I get there and the--the Holy Spirit grabs a hold of one, and I--I--I--I... just look like it just no end to it. It just keeps on going. But, now, to our text.

L-87   They were divided, there, in three different groups, with three different opinions. Some of them believed Him. Some of them hated Him. And some of them didn't know what to do.
