<TITLE>18. Par 177-191</TITLE>L-177 The believer can see the Word made flesh; the others cannot do it.

L-178   All them Israelites, after they had seen Moses perform that and brought them right up to the great council, where it was to be held, every one of them said, "We'll go with Balaam, because we think Dr. Balaam's right. He's smarter, is more educated, everything, so we'll just take it."

L-179 And God never did forgive them, He destroyed them right there in the wilderness. And Jesus said, Himself, "They'll never come, there's none of them saved." Jesus said...

L-180 They said, "Our fathers eat manna in the wilderness for forty years."

L-181 He said, "They're every one dead, Eternally separated from God. They're every one dead." Certainly! Because they listened to an error. When Moses, the vindicated of God, and a leader to show them the way to the promised land, and they had come so far all right, but then they wouldn't go along with him.

L-182 Now, believers can see It, but unbelievers cannot see That vindicated.

L-183   Look how pious Caiaphas was. Look how all them priest how pious they was. And Jesus turned around, said, "You are of your father the Devil, and his works you'll do."

L-184 But there was a few believers setting there. Do you think them disciples could have understood when Jesus said, "I and My Father are one"? They couldn't explained It. When He said, "Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, drink His Blood, you have no Life." Could they explain It? No. But they believed It, because they seen God being vindicated and made flesh.

L-185   Jesus said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not. But if I do the works of My Father, the Word that's predicted for Me to do, then you... If you can't believe Me, believe the works that I do, that you might be saved." See? Jesus said, "My sheep know My Voice. They know My Word, they see It when It's vindicated for that age."

L-186 "Well, Caiaphas knowed the Word too!" But not the Word for that age. He had the word of what the Pharisees had poked into him, but not the vindicated Word of the hour.

L-187 "They know My Voice, they know My sign, they know My wonder." How now, to...

L-188 Oh, let's get back to our text, 'cause we're just going to miss a lot of this Scripture if we don't, 'cause I got to close in the next few minutes anyhow, 'cause it's going to be ten o'clock in a few minutes. I love Him.

L-189   Friends, you people who walked down that aisle and put that offering in there a while ago; people that fed my children, put clothes on their back; the people that's put your money (that you hard earned) in an offering plate, know where that goes? That helps take me overseas to the heathens that never has heard anything about God. That's what I do with it, every penny, God's my judge. Here's some of my... the man's setting right here now that's in--in the treasury of my church. I get one hundred dollars a week, and that's all; rest of it goes to sponsor overseas meetings where they can't come.

L-190 The churches won't have me. They don't want me. No. That's right! They term me now, "He's..." They say, "He's a 'Jesus Only,' or he's something like that, or some heretic, fanatic, and all like that, a--a Jezebel." And I--I look for that, they called my Lord, "Jezebel," and they called Him... not a Jezebel, but a "Beelzebub." They called Him all those bad names. "If they called the Master of the house, 'Beelzebub,' how much more will they call them of His disciples?" So that don't make any difference.

L-191 And you yourself, by the help of God, you think I'd stand up here, a big hypocrite, and tell you something...? Or, wouldn't I fall right in line with the thing if I thought it was from God?
