<TITLE>14. Par 108-116</TITLE>L-108   But remember the promised Word of God by the mouth of Jesus Christ, the very God that spoke creation into existence, He was the One before the foundation of the world that spoke the words "And let there be," and there was. For He said, "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. But as many as did know Him, to them He gave the power to become the sons of God." The very Creator, and the very Creator Himself, when He raised up Lazarus from the dead, He said, "Think this not strange, for the hour's coming that when all that's in the grave will hear the Voice of the Son of man, and shall come out." The very God that said "Let there be Light," said "The Voice of the Son of man would wake those that are in the grave." It has to happen in its season. He spoke, "Let there be male and female," and so forth, and all this, years and hundreds of years before it happened.

L-109   The inspiration hit the prophet Isaiah, he said, "Unto us a child is born, a son is given. His Name shall be called Counselor, Prince of Peace, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father." Years passed, months, years, days, weeks, years rolled by, hundreds of years rolled by. Eight hundred years later, Emmanuel was borned by a virgin! Why? Is because it was spoke by the lips of God's anointed prophet, a seed went forth. See? "And that great hour," said, "will you seek... ask Me of a vision or a sign."

L-110 He said, "I'll give them a sign, an everlasting sign, 'A virgin shall conceive,' an everlasting sign."

L-111 Now, we find that in those hours of real stress, that's usually when the Spirit of God moves in. He let the Hebrew children walk right into the fiery furnace, before He ever moved a hand. But when He moves, He moves.

L-112   Now, we notice here that in Luke, the--the 17th chapter, and the 30th verse, that He said, "In the last days, that the Son of man would reveal Himself as He did just before Sodom and Gomorrah, and the same conditions would exist." He told about Moses, about... and I beg your pardon, not about Moses, but about Noah. How that the people was "eating, drinking, and so forth, marrying and given in marriage." Then He come around, He said, "Now, as it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be at the time when the Son of man is being revealed." Now, watch, the Son of man was revealed to Abraham's group, as a man, a prophet in a form of human flesh, a ordinary man with dust on His clothes, and Abraham called Him "Elohim."

L-113   Now, Jesus promises here that in the last days the Son of man will be revealed again to that same type of group, the royal Seed of Abraham, just before the fire falls. Remember, the church never received any more witness, Abraham and them didn't, the promised son that they were looking for was brought right away after that. And the church is looking for the Promised Son, He will come right after the days of this ministry, He'll be revealed from the heavens. Now, we see it too plain, it's got to be. Now, the only thing there has to be is something pulsates, gets into a man, God vindicate and tells him and shows him that that is the thing to happen; and that you're going to...

L-114   Like Moses did, he didn't want to deliver those children, but God spoke to him in a burning bush. He didn't want to go, but he had to go. Moses had heard of Him being the great Jehovah. But then he could see Him, He was in the form of a Pillar of Fire. "I've heard of Thee, but now I see Thee." What was He seen in? His Word vindicated.

L-115 God told Abraham that "his people would sojourn in a strange land for four hundred years, but He would bring them out with a mighty hand."

L-116 And, notice, this burning bush gave vindication to what the prophet Abraham had said would take place. Moses said, "I've heard of it, but now I see it!"
