<TITLE>15. Par 61-65</TITLE>L-61 Oh, my. What a pity. What a disgrace that we are that call ourselves Christians today, wearing the name of Christianity. Some of us know no more about God than a Hottentot would know about an Egyptian knight. Amen. Excuse me, brother. Just takes a lot of room for me to run around, I guess.
Notice, my brother. I'm sincere though. I mean this with all my heart. Cain knelt down there and he worshipped God. And Abel worshipped God, but Abel had a foresight. Cain said, "Apples brought us out of the garden of Eden." He offered fruit. How ignorant. Same thing goes on today. Beauty... He could appease God with a nice beautiful church and an altar. How ignorant. Same thing today, he's after his daddy. See?

L-62 But Abel knew that it was blood. Amen. Brother, it takes blood to take us back there. Abel goes back and gets a little old lamb, wraps a grapevine around his neck. I don't guess that's any hemp in that day. Here he come back. He was pulling--pulling a little old lamb up to the altar, like that, to a rock: nothing pretty about that. Puts me in the mind of...?... free born church, nothing beautiful about it. Picks up the little fellow and throws him upon the rock, picks up a rock... I guess they didn't have any lance. Picked up a sharp rock, throwed his little head back and begin to chop his throat.
Did you ever hear a lamb die? The most pitiful thing you've ever heard in your life, to hear a lamb die. But there that poor little lamb just a dying a bleeding, and bleating, and the blood flying out like that, bathing his little wool. God looked down and said, "That's right." That man was spiritual. He had a foresight of something.

L-63 What was he speaking of? Nineteen hundred years ago...?... was just about four thousand years it was. After that Lamb of God was led away up Calvary's mountain. And on the road up there they nailed Him to the cross, beat Him in the back for the healing, striped His body all over, his bloody locks dripping off of His shoulder, mockery gobs spit all over Him; crying, "My God, My God, why has Thou forsaken Me?"
Adam couldn't understand the language of the lamb. He was speaking another language. And Jesus Christ died speaking in another language. "My God, Eli, Eli...?..." perfect, beautiful, holy, unbelievable type, almost.
There He was. How...?... watch...?... his fine big altars, his glorious worship, my, just as pious and beautiful as it could be...

L-64 Here was Abel. Little old...?... up here, not very much to look...?... No... just a big old rock laying...?... he's beating its little life out of it, a bleating... But what was it speaking on? Abel had foresight. He was borned of Adam, which was a son of God. And the church today that's borned of Christ, the Son of God has the foresight and the recompense to the reward that's going to come. They don't care what the world says, how old fashion we're called, how much this, that, or the other, we know what God said, and that's what we're looking to. Amen.
Yes, sir. Let them go ahead and say what they want to. That doesn't make any difference. God's people has always been a peculiar people.
Now, watch. I want you to notice something else. We'll hurry. I want you to see this.

L-65 Here comes Cain. Then he looked around and he seen Abel's sacrifice was accepted, he become jealous. Then we find a whole lot of that today. Don't tell nobody, but it is. That's right. Jealousy, "Oh, they're a bunch of nitwits. There's just nothing to them. They haven't even got education. They don't nothing about... How do you know? We got our degrees. We know what we're doing." Well, go ahead. Let the blind lead the blind; they'll all fall in the ditch. That's right. We know all about it.
Yes, and the first thing you know he goes over there. And--and what he does, he becomes jealous. He becomes angry. Where did that come from? That never come from God. That come from the devil, and he went out and murdered his brother.
