“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” [Isaiah 7:14]
“God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?” [Hebrews 2:4]
“Everybody is always wanting a sign. We're supposed to look for signs. That's right. Scriptural signs, not religious signs; Bible signs. Everybody was going to look for a sign, and they knowed this would be a super day, God seeing the end from the beginning, so He said, "I'll give them a sign, a super sign. I'll give them an Eternal sign." Amen. "I'll give them one that will never fail and never pass away." Amen. "They want a sign, so I'm going to give them one, a super sign." He didn't come in the polish of the world, the way they expected Him to come. But what did He say? "A virgin shall conceive." Amen. That was a sign. That was a super sign. "A virgin shall conceive." Amen. A super, a super sign; not a natural sign, but a super sign; a virgin conceiving, see, a supernatural sign. Supernatural! It was a super sign, for a virgin had never did it before, but, "She shall conceive." What was it to be? "His Name shall be called Immanuel." How will it be? "God and man will become one." That's the super sign.” [The Super Sign, Shreveport LA 63-1129].
“Notice, super sign! But the Church has got a super sign, God back in the Church, manifested in human flesh. God united with man, His sure super sign! Notice the Eternal sign, an unfailing sign, It will never fail. The Word and man become one. When God's Word and man become one, as St. John the 1st chapter says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us," that's the super sign. Oh, if that was the super sign of that day, when that same Spirit that was on Jesus Christ comes into His Church, to manifest the written Word for today, that is still the super sign.” [The Super Sign, Shreveport LA 63-1129].
“How many wise man were in Babylon, studying astronomy, when these three wise men knew that when, though, in that solar system, when them three stars lined up, it was a sign the Messiah was on the earth? They knew it. They believed it. And they was the one who saw the stars. The rest of them didn't see them. They were in their right constellation, but they saw them in the way that God had presented them to them. That's the way the Gospel is today. It can only be seen in the way that God presents it to you. And if it's presented to you outside of the continuity of the Bible, then it's not God telling you that. Amen. You can't make the Bible lie. It's the infallible Word of God. And it has to agree with the continuity of His, rest of His Word. It just can't say this one place, and this something else; and do this over, hit, scatter. He hits the target every time, the Word does, so you have to make it in the continuity of the rest of the Word. Therefore, His way has always been, in the Word, to send a prophet before that time, before He makes His Word vindicated.” [The Super Sign, Shreveport LA 63-1129].
“Prophets are the chief sign. God's chief sign is a prophet. Now I'm going to speak a few minutes about that. They are His Word made manifest for that age, and that's the reason a prophet is always God's chief sign. He has never sent a judgment upon the earth without first sending a prophet. Just see, and search the Scriptures. A prophet is the chief sign of God, to His people, that He has sent this person, this certain person, like Noah, like Moses, and Elijah and the prophets. He sends them to manifest the Word for that age, to give His people a warning. Just the same as He sends a cold spell upon the ducks, to run them from the North to the South; continuity in nature, continuity in the Word, He never fails to do it. If it takes cold weather to run them down, next year it takes cold weather to run them down. If it takes hot weather to run them back, the next year it takes hot weather to run them back.” [The Super Sign, Shreveport LA 63-1129].
“And when God gets ready to send judgment, before He sends judgment, He sends a prophet and manifests His Word, vindicates the Word of that age. He did it in all other ages. He promised to do it in this age. And He will do it in this age, regardless of what people says about it. He'll do it, anyhow, because He cannot break His continuity. It's the way He planned, He always does it the same way. He never fails to do it like He did it at the first time.” [The Super Sign, Shreveport LA 63-1129].
“Can't you see the real Sign? It's Jehovah become one of us: Jehovah God on earth, as a fugitive, a pilgrim in the land that He created: rejected, and pushed, and laughed at, and scoffed at; a stumbling Stone to the unbeliever, a Rock of an offense; a devil, to the religious world, but an eternal Sign to the believer, "God with us," the super Sign. Do you see it? God made manifest, God presenting Himself to the world as a fugitive; could've come some other way, but chose to come this way. Listen to this. Don't miss it. I think that God had in His mind it would be appealing to the human being. It is to the believer. It is appealing when our God becomes one of us, but to the starchy, ungodly, a stumbling Block. "I'll give you the sign, a virgin shall conceive. Immanuel will be with you." God thought it would appeal to the human race, that our God would be one of us, that He would cross Himself and become our dust, that He would become our stock, a human stock, the Creator Who made all things. And again, it fulfilled prophecy. The prophets had saw it.” [A Super Sign, Jeffersonville IN 59-1227M]
“ "A virgin shall conceive. " And from that time, God and man will be one, united together," an everlasting, Eternal sign, a super sign. He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! You may ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart. I see Him among us. All of His elected Seed will see it. Yes, sir. The elected in His day saw it. The predestinated got to see it. In the midst of unbelief, they still believed it. They set right amongst unbelievers and still confessed it publicly, "Yeah, You are the Son of God, the King of Israel." Oh, my! Right in amongst thousands of unbelievers, one man, by the name of Simon Peter, walked out. And He said, "Your name is Simon, and you're the son of Joseph." What was that? That super sign. There was the Prophet standing there, there was the super sign, and Simon Peter accepted it regardless of what anybody said. The big old husky bully become a meek lamb before God.” [The Super Sign, Shreveport LA 63-1129].
“O God, if the world could only see that, that God and man are one! The super sign was that first Man that God could come into; all that God was He poured into Christ. And all Christ was He poured into the Church. Super sign, God and man, together, that was to be the super sign of the last day, when the entire Bible was to be fulfilled in the last days. A super sign, "A virgin shall conceive. And this conception, when It's brought forth, will be God manifested in the flesh," a super sign. They still don't believe it, but it was anyhow. It's still a super sign.” [The Super Sign, Shreveport LA 63-1129]
“God knowed the end from the beginning, therefore He could plan everything, that it would work out just to His glory. And that gives us courage, to know that no matter what comes or goes, God is making everything, the clock is ticking just exactly on time. Sometimes we get weary, upset. We get hastily. We think, "Oh, we must do this, or do that." But, remember, God's clock will be just exactly on time. All these things has to be this way. It has to all be done according to His great knowledge, His foreknowledge, for by foreknowledge He could predestinate; not by His desire, but by His knowledge. God doesn't predestinate by His desire. He is not willing that any should perish, but by His foreknowledge He knew who would accept it and who would not. Therefore He can make everything work according to His big time clock that's ticking away, for He could foretell the end from the beginning. And, therefore, He knew that we would live in this day. He knew that this would be our day. He had plans for this day. He has had plans for every day. And never has one of His plans ever failed. He is always on time.” [The Super Sign, Shreveport LA 63-1129].
“Oh, today, my pilgrim brother, my sister, believe that sign. Look into the manger of your own heart and see if you are able to say within yourself. See the sign that the shepherds seen: God in flesh, dwelling amongst the poor, the needy, the offcast. See if you can understand it. God in your heart, God in here, watch and see if He manifests Hisself right, in sweetness and meekness, as He did.” [A Super Sign, Jeffersonville IN 59-1227M]
Our Bible Study Subject for December 2009: The Lord Himself Shall Give You a Sign.
We pray the God will open your heart to believe the sign of the Messiah in our day, and cause you to bring your gift to Him.
Let us continue to remember one another in prayer, remembering that He has had plans for us and He is always on time.
