“I have come to fulfill Scripture.” (See Matthew 5:17) “Scripture must be fulfilled in me.” (Mark 14:49, KJV1)

And, then, beginning with Moses and the Law, and all the Prophets, with all the Psalms, He interpreted to them all the scriptures and things concerning Himself. And then He said, “In the volume of the book it is written of me.” (Hebrews 10:7) It is all about Me.

I have no other book. Then comes the fulfillment of the Promise, and the Promise is: You will have a Son, named Isaac. It’s like saying, “Name him, ‘He laughs.’” Well, I can’t tell you the thrill that is in store for you when that child appears; in spite of your age, in spite of your seeming barrenness, suddenly the child appears. Others find it. You hold it in your arms, and in the most endearing mood that possesses you, you look into the face of this wonderful infant and you say, “How is my sweetheart?” He will burst into the most heavenly smile. He laughs. Well, that’s Isaac. Then you will know who Abraham really is! He is the son of Abraham in his old age.

I was only in my 50’s when it happened, and still could have sired a child, but I had been coming through the tribulations for thousands of years. I reached the end of the journey, and the journey takes thousands of years – by implication, six thousand years, if you read Scripture carefully. For Peter said when they asked him, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of the world.” (II Peter 3:4) And then Peter answered that these wonders will come, but they do not know that one day of the Lord is equal to one thousand years. A thousand years here is but a day of the Lord. (II Peter 3:8) So, “Let us make man…” (Genesis 1:26) on what day? Oh the sixth day. So, six thousand years you’ve been traveling. You actually came down and annexed these bodies called men. You never were these bodies. These are garments that you wear, and you are enslaved by the garment that you wear. Yet only as you enter these garments and penetrate them and annex the brains of these garments, can you enter this world of death. And by entering this world of death, you experience death, or you could not have died! You are immortal – you were immortal – and you return to your immortality! You cannot die.

Although you seem to die, you cannot die, I assure you. My father and my mother are as alive to me today as they were before they made their departure from this world. My brother Lawrence, who took part in my drama of the finding of the child, departed four years ago; he’s just as alive to me, only he is young. He was 62 when he departed. When I meet Lawrence now, he’s young. And strangely enough, all the intelligence of my brother [he was a doctor] – not a thing is lost. But he’s young now, in his 20’s. He knows what happened, and I prophesied with him, “Lawrence you will be the next member of our little family to have the experience, because you found Him. My other two brothers laughed when you said, ‘It’s Neville’s baby,’ and you found Him in that drama. You played the part of Simon. ‘Oh, God, let me now depart according to thy word, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,’ (Luke 2:30) and you are entitled now for the unfolding within you.”
