<TITLE>14. Par 164-177</TITLE>L-164   Now, I'm uneducated, and so I have to use something like John the Baptist. He was uneducated, too. He went in the wilderness, about nine years old, and he never got an education. So his sermons were more based upon like nature, "O you generation of snakes." See, that's the worse thing he seen, and the so slimey, and he called them priests "snakes." He said, "You generation of snakes, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Don't begin to say, 'We got this, and we belong to this.' God is able of these stones," that's what he seen on the river bank, "to raise up children to Abraham. And, also, the ax," that's what he used in the wilderness, "is laid to the root of the tree. And every tree that don't bring forth good fruit, is hewn down." That's the kind he burnt, and made firewood out of, you see. But the good trees... He--he just makes his sermons like that.

L-165 So, in this, I want to--to say it in this manner. We're at the end time, the harvest time.

L-166   Now, in Abraham's journey, he met God all along in different forms, and so forth, which we could take it and show it. Just, we are Abraham's Seed, if we're in Christ. And Isaac was really his--his lesser son; he was his son, sexually. But, spiritually, Christ was Abraham's Seed, his royal Seed, his faith.

L-167 Now we find that his royal Seed is, travels the same journey, that's, Bride of Christ travels the same journey that Abraham did. And the last sign that Abraham seen, before the promised son came, was when God was manifested in a human body, and two Angels came down.

L-168 Jesus said, in Saint Luke, the 17th chapter and the 30th verse, that, "As it was in the days of Noah." He told about Noah's time. And said, "As it was in the days of Sodom," see, His Coming, "so will it be in the days when the Son of man is being revealed." Now, He never said "the Son of God" being revealed. "The Son of man!"

L-169   Now, Jesus came in three names. Son of man, which is a prophet; Son of God, which went through the Church age; then Son of David. But in between the Son of God and Son of David, according to His Own Word, and according to Malachi 4 and many Scriptures, He's to return back into His Church, in physical form, in the people, in a... in human beings, in the way of being a prophet. See?

L-170 And watch what this Man done when He came down to see Abraham. First thing, He told Abraham about his name being changed, because He didn't call him Abram, He called him Abraham. And when He did, why, we find out that--that He said, "Where is thy wife, Sarah?" S-a-r-a-h; not S-a-r-r-a.

L-171 "Why," he said, "she is in the tent behind You."

L-172 He said now, she was ninety and Abraham was a hundred, and He said, "Now I'm going to visit you according to the promise, the time of life."

L-173 And Sarah on the inside, heard Him, listening through the wall of the tent, and she laughed to herself. And the Angel, Man sitting there, said, discerned her spirit in the back, behind him, and said, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying about these things?"

L-174 Well, they called Sarah forth, and she denied it. He said, "But you did do it." She was a-scared.

L-175   Now Jesus said, just before the Coming of the Son of God, or the Son of... the second Coming, that this age that we live through...

L-176 He come as Son of man, a prophet, because that fulfills the Scripture. Moses said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet like unto me." We all know that was Jesus. Don't we? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] So He had to come according to the Scripture, a prophet. He never called Himself the Son of God; He called Himself the Son of man.

L-177 But now He is, through the Church age now, He has been Son of God. In the Millennium He'll be Son of David, sitting on David's throne. But between this time, we find out by the Scriptures, He is to reveal Himself again as Son of man, a prophet.
