67 Now, we see the attribute sons
of His Spirit have not yet entered into the Word form body, but--a theophany.
This body is subject to the Word and earnest--waiting for the earnest change of
the body.
Now, the different between Him and you as a son... See, He was at the beginning
the Word, an "En morphe" body. He came in and lived in that in the
Person of Melchisedec. Then later... We never heard no more of Melchisedec,
because He became Jesus Christ. Melchisedec was the Priest, but He became Jesus
Christ. Now, you bypassed that, because in that form He knowed all things. And
you have never been able to know that yet. You come like Adam, like me. You
became from the attribute to the flesh to be tempted. But when this
life is finished here... "If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have
one already waiting." That's where we go; that is the Word. Then we can
look back and see what we done. Now, we don't understand it. We have never
become the Word; we've just become the flesh-man, not the Word. But...
And look clearly, makes it clear you will never be the Word unless you was a
thought at the beginning. That proves the predestination of God. See? You can't
be the Word 'less you're a thought. You had to be in the thinking first. But
you see, in order to stand temptation you had to bypass the theophany; you had
to come down here in flesh to be tempted by sin. And then if you sin...
"All the Father hath given Me will come to Me, and I'll raise him up at
the last days." See, you had to be first. And then you see, He come right
down the regular line, from attribute to...

70 Before the foundation of the world his Name's put on the Lamb's Book of
Life. Then from that He become the Word, the theophany, that could appear,
disappear; and then He become flesh and returned back again, resurrected that
same body in a glorified condition. But you
bypassed the theophany and become flesh-man to be tempted by sin. And then
"if this earthly tabernacle is dissolved, we have one already
waiting." We have not yet the bodies. But look, when this body receives
the Spirit of God, the Immortal Life inside of you, it throws this body in
subjection to God. Hallelujah.

78 Then when a man is borned
again from heaven, he becomes a spirit babe in Christ. And then when this robe of flesh
is dropped, there is a natural body, theophany, a body not made with hands,
neither born of a woman, that we go to. Then that body returns back and picks
up the glorified body. That's the reason Jesus went to hell when he died and
preached to the souls that were in prison. Turned back into that theophany...
Oh, marvelous. Thank God.
II Corinthians 5:1 "If this earthly body be dis--dissolved (this earthly
tabernacle), we have another one." See, we have bypassed that to come
straight from God, the attribute, to be flesh to be tempted and tested by sin
like Adam did. But when testing of His Word is over, then we are taken up to
this body that was prepared for us before the foundation of the world. It is
the Word there that we skipped to come right around down here to be tempted and
tested. If we'd have come through that, there'd have been no temptation; we'd
knowed all things. That's the reason Jesus knowed all things, 'cause He was
Word before He was flesh.
Then we become the Word. Here we are formed
to the Word image to be a partaker of the Word, feed on the Word, by being
predestinated since the beginning. You see, that little spark of life that you
had in you from the beginning when you started your journey... Many of you can
remember it. You joined this church and joined that church, and try this and
that; nothing satisfied. That's right. But one day you just recognized it.
Right.

42 Now, if you've got Eternal Life
tonight, if we have Eternal Life, then we always were, because there's only one
form of Eternal Life. We always were. And the reason we were, because we are a
part of God. And God is the only thing that's eternal.
And like Melchisedec received tithes from Abraham, and it was 'lotted to
his great-grandson, Levi, who was yet in the loins of Abraham; paid tithes, for
he was yet in the loins of Abraham when he met Melchisedec. I want to speak on
that over at the other place, one morning: Who Is This Melchisedec? Now, notice
that. Way back, God knew this boy coming down. He knowed all things.
Now, we are a part of God. You always was.
You don't remember it, because you were only an attribute in God. You were only
in His thinking. Your very name, if it ever was on the Book of Life, it was put
there before the foundation of the world. He knew what you were.

48 Notice, those who have tonight
Eternal Life, was with Him and in Him, in His thinking, before there ever was
an Angel, star, Cherubim, or anything else. That's eternal. And if you have
Eternal Life, you always was, not your being here, but the shape and form that
the infinite God... And if He isn't infinite, He isn't God.
God has to be infinite. We're finite; He's infinite. And He was omnipresent,
omniscient, and omnipotent. If He isn't, then He can't be God: knows all
things, all places because of His omnipresence. Omniscient makes Him
omnipresent. He is a being; He's not like the wind. He is a being; He dwells in
a house, but being omniscient, knowing all things, makes Him omnipresent,
because He knows everything that's going on. There can't be a flea bat its eyes
but what He knowed it. And He knowed it before there was a world, how many time
it'd bat it's eyes and how much tallow it had in it, before there ever was a
world. That is infinite. We can't comprehend it in our minds, but that's
God--God, infinite.

234 Sons and daughters was in God at the
beginning. Now, look. You've got Eternal Life, you say. We believe it, that we
got Eternal Life. Well, there's only one form of Eternal Life, and that's God. That's
the only thing that is eternal, is God. Then if you've got Eternal Life, that
Life that's in you always was, and you were in the loins of God before there
even was a world. And when the Word Itself... Jesus Himself is
called the Word, and in St. John 1, said, "In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh
and dwelled among us." Then you were in the loins of Jesus, and went to
Calvary with Him. You died with Him, and you raised with Him. And today we're
setting in heavenly places in Him, filled with His Spirit, sons and daughters
of God. Die with Him, raised with Him. Sure.
