<TITLE>25. Par 267-279</TITLE>L-267 He's here the same today as He was that day, because He's the same yesterday, today, and for... And revealing Hisself more today than He has in any other age since that day; come through the wheat and stalk and shuck (is all past now), we're into the wheat again. See, we're back into the grain.

L-268   Known as... know... Watch how He made Hisself known to these people, now, remember, as their Messiah (just before we close) of the promised Word of the age. Notice! He appeared unto, to the... as He has said He'd do, to the prophets. Notice, "Fools, and slow of heart to believe that all the prophets has wrote of Him had to be fulfilled."

L-269 Watch Him! He refers right back to the Word of God, He never come right out and told them, "Don't you know Me? I am the Messiah that's resurrected." He never said that. See, He just give them the Scripture; like John did, and the rest of them. See? He just... They have to pick that out themselves. They have to judge for theirselves. Now, don't go to sleep, judge for yourself.

L-270 "Fools, slow of heart to believe all that the prophets has said had to come to pass." What a rebuke to them that claimed they knew Him. See?

L-271   Notice how He approached the subject. He never come right out, as I said a few minutes ago, and said, "Well, don't you know I'm your Messiah for this age? Don't you know that I'm He?" The real servant of God never identifies himself that way; the Scripture identifies who he is. Sure, he will. But called their attention to what the prophets had said to look for in the Messiah's age. See it? Go right back: "Fools, and slow of heart, not to believe that all the prophets said about the Messiah should come to pass."

L-272 He, as John, let the Word of the Bible identify Him, what He was to them. That should been made plain enough. If the Word had identified Him, that should be plain, who the promise was they was looking at. They knowed he had... someone had to come on the scene at that time.

L-273 Why, He say, "Now let Me show what the Word says is supposed to happen in this day."

L-274   Am not I, tonight, trying to tell you, Word by Word (even to the position, the place, the names, numbers, everything else, and all the signs, times, and everything), that we're right here at the end time? Surely you can see what I'm talking about. See? Look! That's so plain it should need no more identification. He said, when He was here on earth, "Search the Scriptures, in them you think you have Eternal Life, they are what... they testify what I am, see, who I am."

L-275 Notice, He begin with Moses the prophet, a prophet, Deuteronomy 18:15. I'm watching the Scriptures here. Deuteronomy 18:15, Moses said, "The Lord your God..."

L-276 See, God spoke to him on top of the mountain. And, oh, my, the thundering; they said, "Let--let the Lord... Let Moses speak, not God, lest we perish."

L-277 He said, "They said well. I'll... I won't speak to them no more like this, but I'll raise them up a prophet." And that's been His message all the way through. That's what's got to settle the whole thing at the end. It's just got to, because the Word of the Lord has to come to the prophet. It's the only thing It can come to. If it don't, it breaks God's Word and makes Him tell something wrong. See? It'll never go to a seminary. It goes to a prophet. And the prophet is sent from God, ordained. And how you know it is, and not what the man said,...

L-278   We've had Elijahs, and coats, and everything else, and mantels, and all kinds of nonsense that went off into organizationism with everything else.

L-279 But there will come on this earth, by God's promise, a genuine servant of God, identified by God (by His Word being the answer of this day), that'll set the Bride in order (a real little minority of the church) and take it up. That's right! He'll introduce, "Behold, there's the One I talked about, see, that'll come."
