Quotes used in the sermon "Principal theme"
EXODUS 31:18
18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon
mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger
of God.
15 ¶ And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the
testimony [were] in his hand: the tables [were] written on both their sides; on
the one side and on the other [were] they written.
EXODUS 32:16
16 And the tables [were] the work of God, and the writing [was] the writing of
God, graven upon the tables.

18-4 Now, He
was saying that all the Psalms and all the prophets spoke of Him. Well,
there--therefore, that shows that all
of the Old Testament, all of the New Testament, and all of the Psalms, the
singing, the songs that were sung, were sung of Him.
Take the 22nd Psalm and sing it and compare it with the morning of the
crucifixion. See? "My God, my God, why has Thou forsaken me? All My bones, they
stare at Me. They pierced My feet and My hands." Yet, all those things there...
Them singing that Psalm down there in the temple and crucifying the very One...
See? See, those great religious leaders, those great men, those great teachers
(and yet so blinded) that was reading the prophets and was singing the songs,
and doing the crime that they said they would do. The same thing is taking place
this morning.

19-4 Now, here He says, "Search the Scriptures; they testify of Me. In them you
think you have Eternal Life (and that's true), and they are the one that bear
record of Me, and I'm bearing record of them. And if I do not the works that's
promised that I would do, then don't hear Me. But if I do the works and you
can't believe Me, believe the works," because they testify that He is the Word.
Oh, it looks like it couldn't be any plainer. See? All right.
Now, search the Scriptures. He said
Moses and all the laws and so forth, and the prophets, and Psalms spoke of Him,
and again He said the Scriptures testify of Him.

19-6 He is
the principal Theme of the entire Bible. If you read the Bible and don't
see Christ in every verse of It, go back and read It again. See? If you can't
see Christ in every verse of the Bible, then you read It again, because you've
missed something. The Bible is Christ. He is the Word. When you read,
"In the beginning God created..."
there's Christ. See? Every... From that to the "Amen" in Revelations is every
Word testifying of Jesus Christ.
That's why these added books that's called II Book of Daniel and the--the Book
of the Maccabees, Agges Purgatory, and stuff like that... See, it's not spoke of
in the Scripture. See? It doesn't theme up with the rest of It. There's no place
to place purgatory in there. There's no place to place intercession of saints,
and things; there's no place in there for that. There's no place for
denomination. There's no place for--for creeds outside of it--of the Bible. See?
So when you see those things, they--they just don't come into the picture.

20-3 Now, you realize that any of these places here you could take a text, and
it's just hard for a preacher to hold his peace. He look like he want to keep
going with it, but you got to get back to what we're teaching on.
He is the principle theme of the
Bible. He was in the prophets; He was in the Psalms; He was in the history of
the Bible. The Bible is a prophetic Book; It's a historical Book; It's a Book of
love. It's a Book of--of songs; It's a Book of Life, and in there you find
Christ. He was in the prophets; He was in the Psalms; He was in the
history; and He also in the Bible is the things that is to come.
So He was
before and for after. What does that make Him then? The same yesterday, today,
and forever.

21-1 And, you inject something in there that doesn't make Him the same
yesterday, today, and forever, Brother Lee, where do you go to? You got an awful
picture there. For He was the history
(See?), and He is the Prophet; He is the Psalms; He is everything. And if you
can't make Him everything and the same, where--what's your picture look like? Do
you see it? All right.
