<TITLE>09. Par 83-92</TITLE>L-83 Now, watch; Adam and Eve. Oh, my! When I think of that, I lose the thoughts of my influenza, ever what I had. When I think, way back in the beginning... Watch! You talk about blood?
Here not long ago, when they were figuring on now, in the great Methodist council, to taking all of the Blood songs out of the Methodist hymnal... Said, "It's not a slaughter block religion." Said, "We don't... We want something nice and dignified." Brother, that's not the way God receives it. It's either...
"When I see the blood, I will pass over you." Blood! God, only substitutionary there is, is in only... "The life lays in the blood. You may eat the meat therefore, but the blood thereof, which is the life thereof, pour it upon the ground." See, not eat the life...
Notice, how beautiful. How I think of that. Then God thought, "Now, come out here, Adam and Eve. And before I can bring you out, I'm going to have to do something." So He goes over there on the hillside and gets a sheep, kill him, pull the skin off of him, let him die.

L-87 Because God has to keep His Word, no matter how good a man you are, how good a woman you are, what you are. It's God. God has got to keep His Word.
That's the reason the virgin Mary had to go up at the day of Pentecost, and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, just like the rest of them did, because she was born here as a mortal and had to be borned again before she could go to heaven. Amen.

L-89 Now, look, lady, let me tell you. Just because the times has changed, God hasn't changed. You come anything short of that, you're lost. See? Now, I'm only speaking in behalf of what God did nineteen hundred years ago today on Calvary, to show you what a sacrifice that had to be made to pay this, and that's God's way. Now, there's a way that seems right; but God has a provided way. If you'll always go in God's provided way, you'll never go wrong.

L-90 Like if you start to go to Indianapolis, or across the bridge, and you say, "Well, here, is that Louisville over there?"
"Yes." And just take right across this way; you'll be caught up pretty soon. That's right. You better get the blueprint, the map, study it out and see which a way you're going.
And then, Here is God's blueprint to glory. Study It out. There It is. It's Blood-sprinkled all the way. You can't lose the track, if you'll follow the Blood. Amen. Now, you can see. Just keep right with the Blood and you'll be all right, for there's a bloody footprint every step of the way.

L-92 Now, notice how God back there, before He could do it, now He could stand or... Even they could stand to receive, He'd kill them right now. He had to, because He's sovereign. He has to keep His Word. He said, "The day you eat thereof, that day you die." That settled it forever. Then I can see Him back there, when He killed these sheep. You say, "Were they sheep, Brother Branham?" I believe it. He was the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.
And it was a sheepskin; take and throwed them back in the bushes, and told them to wrap up in these, and come out, and to receive.
