<TITLE>12. Par 70-74</TITLE>L-70   Now, "the teaching of Balaam," not the prophecy of Balaam. That was all right. That was God. How many believes that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] The prophecy of Balaam was exactly right, 'cause He couldn't speak nothing else. The anointing of God wouldn't speak nothing else, and God vindicated it by proving it was the Truth. But it was "the teaching of Balaam."

L-71 Now compare that with Matthew 24:24. Anointed ones, but their teaching is false. The trinities, and all things like that; wrong, antichrist!
I hope your feelings don't get hurt. And don't turn that, them phones off. And don't get up and go out. Just set still, and let's see if the Holy Spirit won't reveal it to us, and prove it to us. You say, "But that..." Just whatever you believe, just set still and listen. And ask God to open your heart, then you'll find out whether you're a briar, or a thistle, or wherever you're standing. See?

L-72   Now, even Judas, "foreordained to the condemnation he was," set there before Jesus. And Jesus told him, "You are the one. Whatever you're going to do, and whatever you've got to do, go do it quickly." Him knowing what he was doing, but, for them thirty pieces of silver, and popularity, sold the Lord Jesus Christ. One of His disciples, the treasurer of the church, Jesus called him His "friend." See? The Bible said, "He was born the son of perdition," just the same as Jesus was born the Son of God. "Deceive the very Elected if it were possible."

L-73   Notice closely as we study on. We'll take another instance, over in the Book of Kings. There was a--a prophet, and his name was Micaiah. He was the son of Imlah, and he was a prophet. He was.
And there was another prophet, the head of a organization of prophets, anointed ones. The Bible said they were "prophets," just the same as He said Balaam was a prophet, anointed ones.
And there was one of them by the name of Micaiah, who was anointed with God and sent by God, with the Word of God.
There was one, Zedekiah, who thought he was sent by God. He was anointed of God, but his teaching was contrary to the Word of God. "Rise, false Christs, show great signs, would deceive the Elected if possible."

L-74   Notice, both of them, both of them anointed. Now, how could you tell which was right, and wrong? Watch what the Word promised to Ahab. The prophet which was before him, which was Elijah, one of the greatest prophets of the age, that was a vindicated prophet. That vindicated prophet said, that, "Because Ahab had done this evil, that the dogs would lick his blood; tooking Naboth's life. And that the dogs would eat Jezebel, and the... her body would be dung upon the fields." Now, how can you bless what God has cursed? Or how can you curse, as Balaam said, what God has blessed? See?
But these prophets were sincere. There were no doubt but what they were good man, honorable man. For, to be a prophet in Israel, you must be honorable, or to even be an Israelite. You was stoned, if not. They were honorable man. They were smart man. They were educated man. They were the selected of Ahab, of the nation. (See that, Sister Wright?) The selected of the nation, well fitted for the par-...
