<TITLE>10. Par -</TITLE>L-24-82 I can't touch Brother Neville in--in up there, 'cause John saw them. They was souls under the altar, crying, "How long, Lord, how long?" You know why; we went through Revelations. And how that in there they desired to return and be clothed upon with mortal bodies. They were crying, "How long, Lord?"
Now, they knew each other, but they couldn't talk and shake hands, or I beg... They could talk, but they couldn't shake hands and so forth.
Here's the image to prove it. When the witch of Endor called up the spirit of Samuel, and Saul looked at him, he recognized him to be Samuel. And Samuel recognized Saul and said, "Why did you call me out of my rest, seeing that you become the enemy of God and God's departed from you?" Is that right? And there stood old Samuel with his prophet's robe on, and he looked at him. He was in the spirit...
The witch seen him and fell on the ground, said, "I see gods raising up out of the earth." He said, "Why did you disturb me?"
And he said, "Well, I want to know how the battle's going."
Said, "Tomorrow you'll die in battle, and your sons would, and by this time tomorrow night you'll be with me." See? Now, he was conscious, and he looked just like he did when he was here on earth to that witch that was standing, looking at him, and Saul.

L-25-86 Now, notice. Many times... How about dad or mother when they were dying and saw their loved ones standing there? They recognized them. But it's in the supernatural body.
But now here's the glorious part. On the return of Jesus at the resurrection, it won't be that body. That body then, that supernatural being that God created in the beginning, that will return to the earth to get another body not born by woman, but created by God (Hallelujah.), to never get old or have a wrinkle, never have a gray hair on your head, to be perfect forever. Hallelujah. Oh, brother, that would make me shout on a hot night. That's right. Oh, this robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise and seize the everlasting prize. What in the world we got to worry about?

L-25-88 There's the whole plan laying right there, how God created me in the beginning. I come down here on the earth, taken my place as a Gospel preacher, or you as a man or woman to salvation, when you live the life by the grace of God... Hallelujah. And that same Spirit leaves here that was back there in beginning. I'll go back to the conscious of knowing I been here (Hallelujah.), and then wait there under the altar, blessed forever, in rest. And then when returning back, I take up my body in its very peak of best, before death ever struck it.
Death strikes you about twenty-two or twenty-three years old; you start failing. You're not the man you used to be and the woman you used to be after you get about twenty-five; something set in. Wrinkles begin to come under your eyes. You can't wash like you used to. Thirty, you can notice it a whole lot. Wait till you get up to forty-four like me, and then you're really noticing it. But oh, brother, wait till I get eighty, ninety, and on that cane, standing there. What is it? God's just putting him in a race to run. But some glorious day... That's death setting in.
