History repeats itself

DOCTOR MOSES CHICAGO IL 55-0114

E-16 All Scripture has a compound meaning, or it runs in cycles. For instance, there where it said in Saint Matthew, I believe it was. "Out of Egypt I have called my son." Now, that Scripture that Matthew was referring to was really pertaining to Israel. And God said, "Out of Egypt, I call My son, Israel." He'd called Israel His son out, but it also meant Jesus. "Out of Egypt I've called My Son." See how it routines back?

The cycle of time swings back ever so often. History repeats itself, and Scripture repeats itself down through the age. Any scholar knows that, that's ever studied it from a spiritual standpoint to watch how Scripture will repeat itself, run in cycles like that. It certainly does.

SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION OWENSBORO KY 56-0128

E-17 Wonder if you little boys or some of you could tell me who the third man was that had that Spirit? Could you do it? Huh? Any student there can raise your hand and tell me who the third man was that had that same Spirit? Huh? John the Baptist. He came out of the wilderness. Jesus said, "This is the Elijah which was spoke of was to come restore all things." And it made Elijah--made John dress just like Elijah, perhaps acted like him, but John did no miracles. And that same Spirit is predicted to come on the earth today again the second time. And I believe that it's on the earth today. And it is preaching a great message of repentance through a mighty man of God who does no miracles, speaks not of miracles, but blasting the world down with a message of repentance. And following John came Jesus, not preaching too much, not much of a preacher, but was performing signs and wonders as a vindication that John's ministry was in season and a vindicated.

So we're thankful to the Lord to be living to see the day that history repeats itself again. And we're living in that day.

E-75 In their cold, intellectual theologies, they had got away from the true teaching of the Bible, to look for those things. And history repeats itself. And prophecy is usually compound meanings. You know what I'm speaking of.

Notice now as they move. We could take Him on and on. Down in the pool of Bethesda, the next chapter, the 5th, just keep Him through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. It's every time the same.

Let's take just one statement here before we call the prayer line, pray for the people. He went down into the pool of Bethesda. Tomorrow night we'll take it on somewhere else, Lord willing.

E-54 I waited and man come through which was a leper, the first one... You couldn't give out no prayer cards. My, the boys tried to give prayer cards, and their clothes was tore off of them. See? So I said just like it was in Africa, just let the missionaries pick out... Go down and get some from this tribe, and some from that tribe, and some from this tribe, two or three out of each one and stand them up.

And then when we were standing there, and they'd... The officers had picked up some to bring through, which they could, some more able. There come through first was a--a man, a leper and standing... Many times as you see in the meetings, It calls the people's names and where their from. Now, that shouldn't be spooky to you, brethren. That's the Bible. It's a little contrary to the modern conception of It; but so was Christ contrary to the modern conception of that day. And we know that history repeats itself.

HANDWRITING ON THE WALL JEFF IN 58-0309M

E-6 As our Scriptures this morning take us back into the Old Testament to base our thinking for the next few minutes on a historical event... And we know that history repeats itself ever so often. And in my study now, I'm studying the Ante-Nicene Fathers and can see through the Scriptures how that we are repeating again the age that has passed by. And all Scripture is given by inspiration. And our blessed Lord said that the Scriptures cannot be broken. All the Scriptures must be fulfilled. And what a consolation that is to give to we, the people that read those Scriptures, knowing that what we have read cannot be broken. It gives us the most solid foundation to rest our faith on. And every Scripture must be fulfilled.

E-45 And remember now, as we're closing. This is the end of the Gentile age. Never in history has it been until the now; this is the end time. We've had Mr. Billy Graham, a great spirit like John the Baptist that went forth doing no miracles.

How many ministers here knows that history, church history, and prophecy repeats itself at least once or twice? True. If you take Matthew 3. "Out of Egypt I call My Son." Refer that back and see if it wasn't Jacob. That was His son too. See? History repeats itself.

And there went a great spirit, announcing His first coming. There went a great spirit before the destruction of the Jews, in the form of John the Baptist, he did no miracles at all but was a mighty preacher. Now, in him came the spirit, that did not be a forceful preacher, but just signs and wonders begin to take place everywhere. Just at the closing of the age. This is the closing of the Gentile age. Let us pray.

E-20 Jesus had just been upbraiding the cities that He had been in, and had performed His mighty miracles, and the people had not repented. Do you believe that history repeats itself? Certainly, it does. History proves that. And what do you think that He would be thinking tonight, as He now looks down upon Greenville, as He looks upon New York, Chicago, and many of the great cities throughout the world where His mighty works has been shown and the people are continually wading on in sin and unbelief? And He was upbraiding them and telling them what their destruction would be.

And some of you real shrewd historians now, look back in the history and look at the present day in Palestine, and every city that He cursed is sunk. And every one He blessed is still standing, just as He said in this Scripture, this same chapter, and the previous chapter that I've just read from. He said, "Thou Capernaum, thou art exalted into heaven, but you shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom, that has been done in you, it would remain until this day."

E-27 Now, He referred to Jonah, and I believe, that what He told Jonah, He was speaking of this day. Now, He said, "They were seeking a sign, and they would get a sign, the sign of the resurrection. For as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and nights, the Son of man shall be in the heart of the earth for three days and nights. And then, the resurrection would be the sign to a wicked and an adulternous generation."

Anyone knows, that Scripture has a compound meaning, and history repeats itself. Do you believe Scripture has a compound meaning? All right.

Take where it's--this one here, just comes in my mind, where in Matthew 3, it said, "Out of Egypt, I've called My Son." Run the reference to that and see if it didn't mean Jacob. Certainly, it did--Jacob, God's son; it meant Jesus, God's Son. It had a compound prophecy, many times has it.

And so, I believe that we've come back to a wicked, and an adulternous generation. And this generation has to receive the sign of the resurrection to dovetail with my first night's sermon, of "The Signs That He Did Then." He's never done them since in all the age, until the closing of the Gentile dispensation, that we're now living in. And this wicked, and adulternous, and Christ-rejecting generation, has received the sign of the resurrection, the last sign to be given to the church.

78 It's repeated. It's repeated again. History repeats itself every so often. Yes, He knew that He had--He knew about Life, but Nicodemus didn't know that He was Life. That's what it is today. So many people try to make Jesus, oh, a great Teacher; they even try to say He was a Prophet. But when you try to say He was God, that's too much. See? But He was God, and He is God, and He always will be God. That's all. That's right.

Notice, He never told Nicodemus, now, when he come to Him, He never said, "Now, Nicodemus, I have great respects for you, that you are a--a--a master in Israel. I'll tell you what; you're searching Eternal Life, perhaps you ought to polish up on your scholarship. You don't say your words right" (Nonsense.), "or maybe you ought to seek a higher office in your denomination to have Eternal Life."

WHAT SHALL I DO WITH JESUS JEFF IN 63-1124M

83 You see, the nature in history repeats itself because nature continues the same. Trees still continue to grow; and vegetables come up and flowers. And the world turns just as it always is; it's nature. And the nature of each age produces again, and reproduces the--the reflection of what a--a--a nature it was before then.

And today, we find ourselves again standing on that same place. Now, Jesus was the Word (St. John, the first chapter). We all believe that. He was the Word, and because He was the Word... (Please understand.) He was the Word and He had to be against the system. And they did not--they did not reject Him because of His miracles. They did not... They said... He said, "Which can accuse Me?"

"And what evil had He done?" said the little lady. "What evil has He done but heal the sick?"

6 And now it's repeated again, 'cause we all know history repeats itself every so often. And it's sad to say, but it was prophesied to repeat, and it--it's done it again.

We find that Jesus wasn't well thought of. Many times people want to judge the man who doesn't agree with them. We're not to do that. We can disagree with one another, yet be friendly. If I couldn't disagree with the man, and still love him and pray for him, and disagree with him upon the basis of the Scripture, and for better enlightenment, then I won't say nothing to him. I always want to disagree with him friendly, because I love him. And I--I certainly don't want him to be lost. And he should do the same thing with me. We don't want to be lost. And we must base our thoughts upon what the Word says. Let the Word be true, not our creed, or what our thoughts, but what He says, no private interpretation, just what the Word says.
