<TITLE>07. Par 40-45</TITLE>L-40 But the people, with their own interpretation! Now notice, let me show you, friends. The churches cannot agree themself on the 'terpretation of It. The Methodist can't agree with the Baptist, the Baptist the Presbyterian, the Presbyterian the Pentecostals. And with about forty different organizations of Pentecost, they can't agree with one another. So you see, that would be Babylon again, confusing.

L-41 But God does His Own interpreting of His Word. He promised this thing, and then does it Himself. He gives, Himself, the interpretation of it, because He makes Hisself known in that hour. How far the--the Body of Christ is advanced, from the feet to the head!

L-42   Notice, then that's the reason that these people fail to get it, because they listen to what somebody else says about It, instead of reading the Word like Jesus told them to do, "And They are They that testify of Me. Search the Scriptures, in Them you think you have Eternal Life, and They are They that testify of Me." In other words, listen, "What? Read the Scriptures and see what the Messiah was supposed to do. See what time the Messiah was supposed to come. Look who was going to forerun the Messiah. Look at the hour. There's to be a voice of one crying in the wilderness, John. And you done to him exactly what you listed. Look what I was supposed to do when I come. And now what have you done? Have I failed to meet This?" See, Jesus speaking, "Have I failed to meet This?"

L-43   Notice, as we come on down through the Scriptures this afternoon, how that everything that was prophesied of Him happened just exactly the way it was supposed to. They should have knowed this event. "This fanatic, young fellow raised up, about thirty-three years old and... or thirty years old, and went down there and claimed all kinds of Lights, and Doves ascending. And, why, it was just a--a disgrace." They said, "He was born with illegitimate parents, claimed He was born of a virgin birth."

L-44 Ought they not to knowed that Isaiah said, in Isaiah 9:6, "Unto us a child is born"? Ought not they to know also that the prophet Isaiah said, "A virgin shall conceive"? They ought to have knowed these things. But, you see, the thing of it was, they were applying it somewhere way ahead. And this Man, to them, didn't meet the specification. But He asked them, "Search the Scriptures, for you think in Them that you have Eternal Life, and They are the very thing that's testifying to My Message." Not what some theologian said; but what God, His Own Word, said would take place! Amen!

L-45 So is it now! Search the Scriptures, for They are the One that tells us the hour we're living in, tells us exactly what will take place in this day. They are the Ones that you should rely upon, for They are the One that testifies of the Person of Jesus Christ. For the Bible said, that, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever," 'cause He's the revelation of the Word in the age. Can't be no different.
