<TITLE>10. Par 94-105</TITLE>L-94 And I can see Adam and Eve pull these old bloody, flappy skins around them. Could you imagine, the lovely, beautiful bodies of those two perfect human beings, now wrapped in bloody sheepskin? I can see them stand out there.
God said, "Adam, because you listened to your wife instead of Me, then, I took you out of the dust, and dust you'll return."
And, "Eve, because you listened to the--the serpent instead of Me, why, you brought life--took life out of the world, you'll have to bring life into the world. I will multiply your sorrows, and your desire shall be to your husband," and so forth.
And He said then, "Serpent, because you did this, walked up..." He wasn't a reptile. He was a beast, walked up, more subtil than all the beasts of the field. Bear me record: that's Scripture. Walked up, like a man, and he had deceived her. And He said, "And because you did this, off comes your legs, and on your belly you'll go, all the days of your life. And dust shall be your meat."
And right there they was: judgment. God had to keep His judgment, 'cause that He spoke it. And He's God; He can't back up on it. He's got to stay... In order to be God, God has to keep His Word. That's right.

L-99 So there I can imagine seeing that poor little Eve, when she looked at Adam, her long blond hair hanging down her back, those big, bright, blue eyes that looked like the skies, where God had made them, the tears pouring down, mixing with the blood on the garments, and flapping down around her body, Eve... Adam, with his strong body, caught her and leaned her over on his bosom, and there the tears, mingling, falling, as it run through the sheepskins, blood dripping down. Blood, all the way. There. Now, He says, "You have to depart out of My Presence."
And I can see Eve and Adam, with their arms around one another, going, moving out like this, them old sheepskins flopping against their leg, bloody, beating on their leg. [Brother Branham clapped his hands together once--Ed.]

L-101 Then I can see all that space, which was God. God had no beginning of days, ending of years. He's forever and forever. I can see all that great space begin to move together like this, coming down to a funnel shape like that, and it moved right down, as He begin to eye that little couple going down through the garden of Eden, bloody skins flopping against their leg. He couldn't stand it. And it moved down, oh, it moved it down to the very heart of God, spelled l-o-v-e, "God so loved..." He just couldn't see them go.
He called them back, said, "I'm going to put enmity between your Seed and Satan's seed." Then when that was done, was at Calvary, when God Himself came down through a woman, born of a virgin.

L-103 How I would like to deal there just a little bit, in Eden. Notice, when they were driven from the garden because of transgression, all the blessings cut off because of transgression.
And I think, tonight, that's what's the matter with the Church. All the blessings are being cut off because of transgression. There you are.

L-105 Driven from the garden of Eden! Now, I want you to notice, here come... When Cain and Abel, the two sons of Adam and Eve, came forward to make an offering...
I believe the great Cherubim was at the east side of the gate, and that Sword whirling back and forth, guarding that gate there that entered into Eden... Notice, Fire, the Holy Spirit Fire guarding the gate.
And, today, that's what guards the gate. If you're scared of Holy Ghost and Fire, you'll never get in. Fiery, the Sword of God, God is a consuming Fire, watching that Tree, guarding that Tree of Life.
