<TITLE>06. Par 48-57</TITLE>L-48   Then, as I have said many times, you recognize that. That's why you're here this morning, why you're coming up out of all these organizations and things. You're... There is Something pulling you. As my little thought was, about the eagle hatched under the hen, see, you--you realize there is something different. The--the church didn't have a--a satisfying something. But, you, you heard something else that was a scream, you realized that, that you were born for That. You're a part of It. You, you fit into It, like a glove on a hand. And that's why we're assembled here together this morning, is because, as my old southern mama used to say, "birds of a feather flock together," because you have things in common.

L-49 Buzzards and doves has nothing in common. Their diet is different, although a dove could be hatched under a buzzard. That's right. Depends on what it was, to begin with. Now, and in that, though, the--the dove might have to be mothered awhile by that, by that buzzard, but finally he'll find his mate.

L-50   That's what the Church is doing today, for Jesus is the Word and He is the Bridegroom, and the Bride is a part of the Groom. Therefore the Word that is to be fulfilled this day is the same part of the Word that was fulfilled in His day, and it's the same Word, same experience, same Life.

L-51 For, when God separated Adam, he was both. We find out, Adam was spirit, to begin with. "He made man in His Own image, created He male and female." And then, Genesis 2 and on, He created man in... out of the dust of the earth. Man was created in God's image (God is a Spirit), so he's a spirit man. Then when he become flesh man, animal flesh on the earth, He is--He is showing, portraying here the Bride. He never taken and made another being, but He took part of Adam, the original creation, took from him, a rib from his side; and took the feminish spirit out of Adam, left the masculine spirit in there, and placed it in the feminish part. Therefore, part of his spirit, part of his body; flesh of his flesh, bone of his bone; Word of His Word, Life of His Life, and that's the way the Bride is to Christ!

L-52 That's why the Rapture of the royal Seed has to come first. And the rest of the dead live not for a thousand years, then they were brought up at the White Throne Judgment. See, there is no judgment to the royal Seed, or the predestinated Seed of Abraham. Now if you'll take Saint John 5:24, listen to this, "He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has everlasting Life."

L-53   Now how would that be so much different from many of our theologies? Now I could walk out here and say to a drunkard, "Do you believe?" "Sure!" A man with another man's wife, "Do you believe?" "Sure!" "Did you sit in the meeting last night, to hear the Word?" "Sure!" "You believe It?" "Sure!" He is just saying that.

L-54 But the original interpretation of this Word, "he that understandeth My Word, and will believe on Him that sent Me." "He that understandeth," that is, who It's made known to.

L-55 Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father has drawed him. And all that My Father hath given Me, they will come. My sheep, My doves, hear My Voice. A stranger they will not follow." And what is the Voice of God? Is the Word of God. What's any man's voice but his word? It's the Word of God; they'll hear the Word of God.

L-56   The natural seed therefore was only a carrier, through Ishmael first, Isaac second, then on down to the Seed. Just like the stalk, tassel, and shuck, of the corn. Now, here, the three stages of the seed shows us the true picture that I want you to notice with me this morning. We are seeing here.

L-57 And as being uneducated, I have to take the natural things that I see, to type the spiritual things that's made known to me, because I couldn't make it sensible to you in any grammar.
