<TITLE>31. Par 211-218</TITLE>L-211   See, "Deceive the Elected if it were possible." See, they know them. Jesus said, "My sheep know My Word."
"Oh," you say, "'hear My "Voice."'"
That's His Word. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word." See? The predestinated knows this. "A strange word, or a strange voice, they won't follow."
That's the way with those fellows back there; they wouldn't follow. They knowed that Martin was there, a prophet of that age, identified by God through the Word, knowed the Word. And that man wouldn't stand before It.

L-212   He also said, "Where the Carcase is," or the Word, "there, in season, the eagles will be gathered." Now that's Matt-... You want to put that down, that's Matthew 24:28. Just a little bit before, Matthew 24:24; four verses below it, see, if you want to get it. "Where the Carcase is," the Manna is, the Word is, "there the eagles will be gathered."

L-213   Now I must hurry. I looked up there and seen what time... It's--it's seven minutes or eight minutes after twelve. I'll hurry real quick, or we can finish it up tonight, either one you want to do it. This morning or tonight? Huh? How many has to go home today after the service, let's see your hand, see. Oh, my, better keep on!
I'm sorry to hold them people on them phones out there like that, but I'll hurry. It's worth more than your money. I believe it is, to me, see. Your money will perish. This won't; It's the Word. See?

L-214   "Where the Carcase is, there the eagles will be gathered." Where the Carcase, where the--the--the killing is, there the eagles will be gathered. Where the fresh Meat is, the Word of the season, there the eagles will gather.
But after it's rottened, then the vultures will swarm to it. Yeah. See what I mean? When a kill is made, here comes the eagles; but after it lays there, and rotten, then here comes the vultures. The eagle won't have nothing to do with it. See?
Jesus said, "Where the Carcase is," where the Manna fell, the night the Manna falls fresh, "there the eagles will gather for It." That's the Manna for the day. See? Notice.

L-215   But after it gets rotten, maggots get in it, then here comes the vultures. They can't smell it till it gets rotten. No wonder Jesus stood up there and said, "Jerusalem, you that stoned every prophet!" Notice that personal pronoun, see, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft would I..." Who was He? "How oft would I have gathered you as a hen would her brood, you that stoned every prophet I ever sent to you," that great church, Jerusalem.

L-216   The Jerusalem which not here on earth, "but we are of the Jerusalem of Above," where the Word come from, from predestination, see. Not old Jerusalem that perishes; the New Jerusalem that can't perish. Not the old Jerusalem, was built by man; but the New Jerusalem built by God, see, the Word up there now being made manifest. "In My Father's house are many mansions. I'll go and prepare them for you," the Creator making the streets of gold, and so forth. That's the One that doesn't perish.

L-217   "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft would I," from the beginning of time; not a third Person, somebody else, but, "I would have hovered you as a hen did her brood, but you would not. But now your hour is come." See?
"Where the Carcase is, the eagles will gather." But after the carcase is rotten, then the buzzards gather. See?

L-218   Notice. Moses, he never give the children of God... Moses was an eagle, and he never give the children of God Noah's leftovers. He had the fresh Word of God. "The Lord God met me in the wilderness, and confirmed His Word, and sent me down here to call you out." Then there come impersonators around, impersonating it. See? But he had the Word of the hour.
Cause, God said to Abraham, the one who had the promise, "Your seed shall sojourn in a strange land, four hundred years, but I'll visit them and take them out with a mighty hand."
