<TITLE>14. Par 105-113</TITLE>L-105   They missed it again, as usual, called Him a fortune-teller, "a devil; Beelzebub," and said He made Himself God, when they ought to have knowed, by their very Bible, that He was God.
Notice, He was prophesied by Isaiah, Isaiah 9:6, said, "His Name shall be called The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father." There ain't going to be no more fathers after that, 'cause He was the first Father in the beginning, He's the only Father; said, "Don't you call any man of this earth, 'Father,' either, after that." "He's the--The Mighty God, and The Everlasting Father, The Counselor, The Prince of Peace." Certainly.

L-106 Now, they had done to Him what all the prophets listed that they would do, just as they are doing in this very Laodicean Age, put Him out of the church. "Blind, naked, and don't know it." Just what the prophet said, the prophet of the Bible. Blinded by man's traditions, they put Him out, the Word out of their churches, as usual, as prophesied of them.

L-107   Notice now, quickly now. Don't miss this now. Here is the text, how Jesus made Himself known to these two disciples that He was their Messiah! Now, all eyes this way. And out in the land, don't miss this now. We've tried to tell you that the Bible is the Word of God, wrote by God Himself, through the lips and instrumentality of man. God can write, Himself. God can speak, Himself. God can do what He wants to, but He chose man to do it because the man that wrote It is part of God. So, God wrote the Bible. The men didn't even know what they were writing, in their own human thinking. They might disagree with It, but they wrote It. They couldn't. The Bible said, "Men of old, as they was moved by the Holy Ghost!" God moved their hands, moved their eyes in the visions. They could say nothing but what they were looking at. They could speak nothing, 'cause He had full control of tongue, finger, every organ of the body was in full sway with God. No wonder the Bible said they were gods, they were a part of God! He was the fullness of God.

L-108   Notice how Jesus, the Word, made these two heartbroke disciples know He was their Messiah, the Messiah, the promised Word. Notice what He done, He appealed to prophecy. Notice, "Fools, slow to believe all that the prophets wrote." Now, He never said, "Well, what, what does the church say about it?"

L-109 They give Him the story. They knowed all the events that happened. They was all sad. They begin to tell Him, "Are You just a stranger here, or You don't know what's happened in Jerusalem?"

L-110 He said, "What things?" like He didn't know. See, He does things some time just to see what you'll do about it. See? Said, "What things? Who was it? What's happened?"

L-111 "Are You just a stranger?" And was talking right to the Man they had lived with for three and a half years, and didn't know Him.
"What things? What happened?"

L-112 "Well," they said, "Jesus of Nazareth, which was a Prophet. There's no doubt in our mind. He was mighty in Word and deed before all the people. We seen Him do things that He was identified the Prophet of God for this age. We know that. And we believed that He would be the Redeemer, that He would redeem Israel."

L-113 Then He turns and said, "You fools, slow of heart to believe that all that the prophets said about Him wouldn't come to pass?" See? Watch Him now go back to prophecy. What a rebuke for believers, claimed they believed Him!
