<TITLE>26. Par 280-287</TITLE>L-280 And all that the prophets had said about Him, and for this age, why it sure would be interesting to have heard Him say that. Wouldn't you like to have heard Him say it? "All the prophets said about..." Remember, He said what the prophets would say about Himself, quoting His Own Self, what He had said (and He was the Word); quoting.

L-281   Now let's listen to the Words that He quoted. Would you like to hear what He said to them? Let's just carry their conversation now, just before we stop.

L-282 Now, they were briefed on all the late happenings of the crucifixion, of the story at the grave and the tomb, and the women had seen Him, and another one said they seen Him, and so forth. He said... They--they briefed Him on that. And He goes right on with the Word about... quoting Himself through the Word:
"Now look in Zechariah 12." (He must have quoted Zechariah 11:12.) "For He was sold with thirty pieces of silver. Was not the Messiah supposed to be sold by thirty pieces of silver?
"In Psalms 41:9, He was betrayed by His friends. See?
"Zechariah 13:7, forsaken by His disciples.
"In Psalms 35:11, accused by false witnesses.
"By Isaiah 35:7, dumb before His accusers, never opened His mouth." (all right, sir)
"Isaiah 50:6, He was scourged.
"Psalms 22--22, He cried at the cross, 'My God, why has Thou forsaken Me?' All My bones they stare at Me. They pierced My hands and My feet." (Look at the prophecies He could talk about!)
"Isaiah 9:6, Unto us a child is born, a virgin shall conceive, so forth.
"And also in Psalms 22:18, they--they--they parted His garments among them.
"In Isaiah 7:14, a virgin shall conceive.
"Psalms 22:7 and 8, made Him a... mocked by His enemies, His... supposed to be His friends; His enemies, the church.
"In Psalms 22 again, He was... not a bone was to be broken, but they pierced His hands and His feet.
"Isaiah 53:12, died with malefactors.
"In Isaiah 53:9, bruised, and buried with the rich brother.
"In Psalms 16:10, He was resurrected from the dead. David said so, 'I will not suffer My Holy One to see corruption, neither will I leave His soul in hell.' He was raised from the dead.
"Malachi 3, John the Baptist was His forerunner."

L-283 And all of the types He might have went to! Even to Isaac being the type of Him upon Mount... upon the mountain where his father Abraham took him, in Genesis 22.

L-284   It was now that they begin to see who had fulfilled these Scriptures that was promised of that day. It was then, after it was late, they begin to see. "Oh! Well, wait a minute! You know what?" They knew then that their crucified Friend, Jesus, was that Prophet that was promised. They knew because... See, they hadn't been briefed on the Scriptures.

L-285 "But, here, all these things that's supposed to happen at the cross, all these things. Fools, slow of heart to understand all the prophets have said; how that the Messiah shall suffer, and enter in His glory, and raise the third day." Still they don't.

L-286 "Oh, yes. That's right. I see. He--He--He... Did not our hearts burn within us?" they said. No wonder their hearts burned! The prophecies that He was giving that was fulfilled.

L-287   Then they begin to understand that their friend, the man that they eat with, talked with, associated with, fished with, laid in the woods, that that fulfilled every Word of the promised hour! There it was. They had walked six miles, it seemed a very short time, I suppose, and they had heard a six-hour sermon on vindicated prophecy (a little longer than what we've had tonight, see). It was now getting kind of late in the evening time, the evening Lights had come.
