“And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” [John 10:5, 16, 27]
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, “ [John 5:25, 28]
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” [I Thessalonians 4:16-17]
“Notice. But you see the sheep call... "My sheep hear my voice." Why? What is a voice? I want to tell you what a voice is. A voice is a--is a spiritual sign. He said to Moses, "If they won't hear the voice of the first sign, they will hear the voice of the second sign. My sheep hear my voice." When these things are supposed to be taking place in the last days, sheep of God recognize that. See, see? They--they recognize it. "My sheep know Me"; (See?) "stranger they won't follow." They won't follow them strangers. It's got to be a vindicated sign for the day, and they see it.” [63-0323 The Sixth Seal, Jeffersonville IN]
“And the end-time sign will have an end-time Voice. And the end-time sign will be according to what is predicted in the Bible. And the end-time Voice, that follows the end-time sign, will be exactly identified in the Scripture, will be the Scripture that's been promised. Now we've read in Luke 17 what the end-time sign would be, would be like it was at Sodom, a promise. And we have the Sodom in the natural, why can't we believe the sign in spiritual here? If you can see the Scriptures, also, Luke 17 is the sign, and Malachi 4 is the Voice. The sign was like God manifested in flesh, knowing the secrets of the heart; and the Voice of Malachi 4 was turning the people away from their creeds, back to the Faith of the fathers. That's the sign.” [64-0321E The Voice Of The Sign, Denham Springs LA]
“And God said that He would confirm it to Abraham, confirming the covenant that He had made between Him and Abraham. Now He is going to give him a sign that it's going to be true. That, even though he's old, he's about eighty-five now, but yet He is going to prove to him, by a sign, that He's going to keep that covenant. Oh, I'm so glad that God always gives us signs, because He... We ought to know, today, that the hour that we're now living, there is supposed to be a sign in the earth at this time. We're to look for that sign. God never does anything without first giving the people a sign and a warning. And a genuine sign is followed by a voice, and the voice is always a Scriptural voice.” [64-0402 Jehovah Jireh 1, Louisville MS]
“Signs are usually accepted, sure; but, the voice, oh, no. The voice that follows the sign, they don't want nothing to do with that. Yes. Jesus' sign, as Messiah, to heal the sick, they accepted that. But one day He said, "I and the Father are One." Oh, my, that voice wasn't accepted. They said, "You make Yourself God, equal with God." He said, "I'm the Son of God." "Oh, my, how could God have a Son? See, far be it from God having a Son!" But, you see, they believed the--the sign, the sick could be healed, and, oh, that was wonderful, that was just dandy. But when it come to the voice, they didn't want to believe the voice.” [64-0321E The Voice Of The Sign, Denham Springs LA
“This is always God's way of making His Voice known to His people. He sends His prophet and gives a sign; and then takes His Voice that's been spoken before, on His Word, and vindicates It by this man. And they know that it's His Voice because it's the promised Word of the day. Oh, if people could only see that. If they could only stop just a moment and realize that. You see, there is no way to make them believe it; there is--there is not a way, a man. God Himself can't do it, make the people believe it. They've got to believe it. And if there is nothing there to believe with, how can they believe, see, no matter what you do? The Bible said, "Though He had done so many miracles, yet they could not believe" because, Isaiah foresaw it, and said, "They got ears and they can't hear, eyes, they can't see." And yet He was perfectly the Messiah, done exactly what the Messiah said. And they said, "This Man just breaks up churches. And, He, we don't know from whence He comes." You see? Isn't that strange that they would do that? But the Bible said they would do it.” [64-0214 The Voice Of The Sign, Tulare CA]
“Notice, Jesus said, in Saint John 10, "My sheep know My Voice." A Voice, of course, is His Word, when He is speaking. "My sheep know My Voice. My Voice has been proven to them, to be true. It's been vindicated that it is My Voice." Now, now notice, they are not subject to following any other voice. They won't. "My sheep know My Voice, and a stranger they will not follow." In other words, they will not understand a theological voice that's teaching contrary to the Word. The sheep don't understand that no more than the eagle, last night, could understand the clucking of the hen. They don't understand it, because he was an eagle. And that's the same thing with a genuine born-again child of God, they understand only the things that are of God.” [65-0120 Lean Not Unto Thy Own Understanding, Phoenix AZ]
“Jesus was a well-thought-of Man. He was a young rabbi, the prophet of Galilee. He, when He was healing the sick, and so forth, He was a great Man. But one day, He sit down, He begin to talk and tell them, "I and the Father are one." That was the voice that followed it. Oh, no, they didn't want that. They was ready for the sign, but the voice they didn't want. "When you see the Son of man ascending up from where He come from," they couldn't see that at all. See? But when the voice begin to follow the sign, they didn't want nothing to do with it. Always a sign and a voice!” [64-0410 Scriptural Signs Of The Time, Birmingham AL]
“Just those God called is the ones will hear it. "My sheep hear my Voice." That's right. They know the Voice of God. It speaks from the Word. The Word is what does it. Now. He said that generation (and this is it) would receive a sign. What kind of a sign? "As Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days, the Son of man shall be in the heart of the earth." Is that right? What kind of a sign would they receive? A resurrection sign. Jesus is not dead; He's alive. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right? A wicked and adulterous generation would receive the sign of the resurrection. Amen. [62-0407 The Signs Of His Coming, Cleveland TN]
