<TITLE>07. Par 68-79</TITLE>L-68   When I got up to Phoenix, I told Brother Dawson that, and Brother Mosley. I know he is here. I seen him the other day, somewhere here. And he was going up with me, he and his wife. And I said, "You watch and see, that's THUS SAITH THE LORD. It's going to happen that way."

L-69 Nights we waited, four or five nights, we had hunted, or days. Seldom you ever tree a lion at night. Happened to be, coming home, they turned the dogs loose, this hunter, this Mormon boy. And the--the lion struck a trail, or the dog struck the trail of the lion, rather, and run him up in a tree. And at ten o'clock at night they come, got us out of bed. We went out there, and there was that same lion in the tree. Flashing the lights, Brother Mosley shot him with about a forty-four caliber, liked to have blowed the lion half in two. And there it was, just exactly the way it was said.

L-70 The next day, I met the chief game warden of the state, another Jack Mormon. Took those boys together, leading them back home to Christ.

L-71 I tell you, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. God proves His Word to be so.

L-72   You've heard people say, "Seeing is believing." That's not altogether true. Many people see and they still don't believe.

L-73 The days that Jesus was on earth, why didn't they recognize Him, that He was that Word of God made manifest? Why didn't the people realize that Moses said, "The Lord your God shall rise up a prophet likened unto me"? And He fulfilled every Word that the Bible spoke that He would do, but they didn't believe it.

L-74 But God, in every age, has proved His Word to be true. He always proves His Word. Then they say sometimes, that, "Seeing is believing." It isn't so. But we know that God goes right on proving His Word in every age.

L-75 We know that He proved it to Adam and Eve, that when He said, "The day you eat thereof, that day you shall surely die." We have to admit to that, that that's truth. We believe that, for He has proved it to us, and we know that it's the truth.

L-76   Now we'll just take some places that God did prove His Word. Let's take, for instance, in the days of--of Noah. God spoke to Noah a message that certainly was unscientific and unbelievable. No one could have believed. It had never rained upon the earth. Unscientific!

L-77 Perhaps they were a greater scientific age then than we are now, because they built pyramids and sphinxes, and so forth, in those days, that we can't build now. They was acquainted with a power, of some kind of a mechanical power, perhaps atomic or something, that they could lift those big boulders, that we couldn't do it today. But they did great scientific things. They had something they could embalm a body, to make it look natural for hundreds of years. We've lost that art.

L-78 Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." And we know that we are to enter into another great scientific age.

L-79 And now the message that Noah had was very much contrary to the belief of that day, in the church, and it was also very much contrary to the scientific research. But God proved His Word to be the truth. God proved that what that prophet said was the truth.
