<TITLE>06. Par 30-39</TITLE>L-30 Now, it isn't right out in plain view that all people can see it, for Jesus thanked God for hiding it from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and would reveal it to babes such as would learn. Think of Almighty God sitting in His Own Word, with power to blind the rich and impudent and--and educated scholars, blind their eyes so they can't see Him, and open the eyes of the poor and illiterate.

L-31   Notice these people from Emmaus, He said their--their understanding of Him was withheld. They talked to Him and didn't even know Who it was, all day long. God can do that, for He's God.

L-32 That's exactly what He done to those priests, those scribes, because It was written that He had to do that. God blinded their eyes so we would have a chance. Notice, they couldn't see, no matter how much scholars, how much priests they was, what they had done, they still could not see It, because they were blind. Their sight might been twenty-twenty, physically. But their spiritual sight!

L-33   The same thing I was trying to say this morning about the adultery of women, dressing the way they do now. They are adulterers. In God's Book they are guilty of adultery every time they put on sexy-looking clothes. Their soul, not knowing it. I believe them women, many of them, thousands of them, are innocent, and would by no means commit adultery. And the poor women, with somebody who will let them get by with it, without exposing it and tell the truth, commit adultery. Which, the Bible said, "The whore that set upon many waters, that all the kings of the earth and the peoples of the earth, the churches and so forth, committed spiritual fornications with her. And she was THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS," denominations.

L-34   We watch the Bible, for God doesn't leave us in darkness. He sent the Bible to foretell us the events before they happened, and the very nature and time they would come.

L-35 Now, it's something like looking on a calendar to see what date it is. If you think, say that this is this Saturday, Sunday, what is it? Look on the calendar. The calendar will tell you what day it is. When you see the actions of the people, maybe going to church, you see the--the... hear the bells ringing, you wonder what day it is. Look on the calendar, it'll tell you what day it is.

L-36   And when you see the church getting worldly, like it was in the days of Sodom, see the church world all going into the... worship "the god of this evil age," and seeing that; then seeing a little minority group gathered out under the inspiration of God, producing again the Life of Jesus Christ, by the Scriptures that's supposed to happen, you know what hour you're living in.

L-37 This Bible foretells, by prophecy, what day that we're living, and what time we're living, and what kind of a events ought to be taking place. It foretells it exactly to the letter, and has never missed one age, all the time. Not one time had It ever missed, and It won't, for who are predestinated to see it will see it. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me, except My Father draws him, and all that the Father has given Me will come." It's the Word joining with the Word. It can't do nothing else. We know it, the day we're living in.

L-38   But as it has been in every age, people let man put their own interpretation to this Word, and causes them to be blinded to the event that's happened. Same thing it done with the Pharisees and Sadducees. Even when Paul stood there and tried to quote the Scripture, and one man smote him in the face because he called the high priest a whited wall. And then they missed seeing God confirm His prophesied Word.

L-39   See, the Bible doesn't contradict Itself; the Bible is God. There's no contradiction in God; He's perfect.
