<TITLE>11. Par 97-101</TITLE>L-97 Just like Paul said here, "Did not the--the seed of the--of the freewoman... or the bondswoman persecute the Seed of the freewoman?"
And so does the seed of the denomination persecute the genuine Grain. It's always got to be that way. They'll not be heirs together. They're not associated together. They're absolutely two different promises, two different times, two different peoples, altogether. One is the Bride, and the other one is a church. No comparison, at all, with them.

L-98 But still they are not the Seed that's promised to come. Neither was Sarah, neither was... And neither was Hagar, neither Sarah was, or--or neither Mary, was the Seed.
Mary was not the Seed. She was a carrier of the Seed, but she had nurtured, brought forth out of her womb. Just like the shuck, brought from its womb the real Seed, but the shuck is not the Seed. It only... It's closer to the Seed. It's hugged up around the Seed.
Way back in the stalk, the life is scattered all through the stalk. And when it comes to the pollen, it's gathered down closer. But when it comes to the shuck, it's right down there like the seed, and forms it almost like the seed.
Jesus told us what would be in the last day, "Be so close it would deceive the very Elected if possible," but then the Seed comes forth from there. And the shuck, the Life leaves the shuck. And the shuck is a carrier, and that's just exactly what our denominations has been, a carrier; Luther, Wesley, Pentecostals. And now it's time for the Seed to come forth. Notice, notice, just...

L-99 She was not the Seed. Mary was not. Just a shuck, tassel, and stalk, carriers of part of the Word, not all the Word! Luther had justification; Wesley had sanctification; Pentecostals had the restoration of the gifts. But when the Word come...
Now, they could produce that, that, justification will save a man. You believe that? Sure, it was a carrier of the Word, just the same as I believe the stalk is part of the wheat. Sure, it is, but it's the carrier. It ain't the Life.
Then along come sanctification. How many believes in sanctification? You believe the Bible, you have to. Sure. So still that's not; it's a little more like; that's two more words.
But then come the Pentecost, the restoration of the gifts. Speaking in tongues, they call it the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost. Speaking in tongues, there, they call that the initial evidence, which brought forth (the what?) the shuck, but they denominated.
But when you come to say, "I and My Father are One," and these other things, then the shuck pulls away from It. But the real, genuine Bride Church will bring forth the entire Word of God, in Its fullness and in Its strength, for He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Notice, in the wombs of Mary was the Seed.

L-100 But when the Seed was delivered, It said, "I come to do the will of Him that sent Me. I and My Father are One. If I do not His works, believe Me not." There was the Seed. "Which one of you can condemn Me of unbelief? What the Bible has promised I would do, I done it. God has verified that through Me," He said. "Who can tell Me now?" See?
But, the--the Seed in Mary, the shuck, it was close to being That, but it wasn't. It was still in the womb.

L-101 Notice, and in the Pentecostal age. Through the Lutheran age, through the Wesleyan age, it's been the same thing through this Pentecostal age.
Now notice. But at the opening of the Seven Seals, Revelations 10, the full Word is to be born into manifestation again, and vindicated by the Spirit of God, in the full strength as It was when He was here on earth; manifested in the same way, doing the same things that It did when It was here on earth. Amen! Hebrews 13:8, said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
In Saint Luke 17:30, Jesus said, "In the last days, as it was in the days of Sodom, when the Son of man will be revealing Himself again, it'll be the same thing."
