<TITLE>09. Par 67-73</TITLE>L-67   That's the way He was. He was in the beginning by Himself. God dwelt alone with His thoughts. He'll never do that again 'cause His thoughts are being made manifest. And that's why we are right here, this day... is God fellowshipping with His thoughts, being made manifest. See? There we are. So, you, by taking thought, cannot add one cubit to your statue. You cannot do this, that, or other. It's God that showeth mercy. It's God. "All the Father has given Me will come to Me, and no man can come except My Father draws him." That settles it.

L-68   Now, just notice, how few of them in His day, of the millions upon the earth, that never even knew of Him being here. Just think, there were tens... millions of people that never knew nothing about it. And to think, in Israel at that time, there was two and a-half million people in Palestine, of Israelites, and not one-hundredth of them ever knew it. No wonder He said, "Strait is the gate and narrow is the way, but few there'll be that'll find it." Just think of how many didn't recognize Him! Didn't know that He was That. And them right around where He was at; that's the pitiful part.

L-69 Those who walked with Him, and saw Him on the street, and so forth... they--they didn't recognize Who He was, because Satan seen that He had the--the most smutty name that could be given to a person. He was called by the world (the natural world)... He--He was called a illegitimate (because he said that "the mother, was to be mother with Him, by Joseph, before she was married to him"). So he give Him a illegitimate name.

L-70   And again, the--the church seen Him in His great power of manifesting. Manifesting what? Not manifesting a creed! He was manifesting the Word! He was the Anointed Word, Himself. And when they seen that taking place (the manifestation, the Anointed Messiah), they turned It down. They didn't want It. It wasn't in their taste. That's the pitiful part. How many...? Just think of it! Just as in other days.

L-71 See, each had their own interpretation of the Word. That's what... the reason Israel didn't recognize Moses. That's the reason the world didn't recognize Noah. That's the reason all the prophets wasn't recognized. They have their own interpretation of the Word. But God, in every age, has had His Messiah. See? To reject Noah's Message, was to rejecting God. To reject Noah, was to perish. To reject Moses, was to perish. It was... They were the Anointed Messiah's for that age, the Word that was promised for that age. And when Jesus came, He was the fullness of the Word.

L-72 God, Himself, made into a man's structure, with bones and flesh; the Anointed One. And they should've seen that. But you see, their--their church world had so added here and taken away here and--and so forth, until it was so messed up till they--they trusted in their church in the stead of--of the Word. And when they seen their church anointed, then they thought something great was taking place. But when they seen the--the Word anointed, then they said, "That's fanaticism. This man is a devil, a Beelzebub." Cause it was so contrary to their church until... their church creeds and what they had done. And it was that way in every coming of a prophet, the church would be so messed up.

L-73   God sent down His laws and gave them a covenant. And the priest would come in and cut away, and add to, and take over here, and make a creed out of it. And then, God would raise out of no where, some anointed man that was raised up in the power of the Spirit. And he was always hated by the priests, by the kings. And--and where the false prophets wore their soft clothes, and walked humbly, and softly among the kings and the priests, to deserve big names and--and things. Then the real, true prophet, came from nowhere, none of their organizations.
