<TITLE>14. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 Now, want to give you some consolation, you dear old saints of the living God that's struggled a long time and now are getting broke down and getting old. Now, I'm going to close just in about five minutes. Listen close now.
Here was Abraham, hundred years old, Sarah, ninety. God said, "I'm still going to give you that baby. I remember My promise. You believed it all along, now I'm going to give it to you."  Sarah laughed in the tent. The Angel of the Lord knowed what she talked like...
That wasn't the Angel of the Lord, that was God Himself. Abraham said it was. He had on clothes like a man, dust all over Him, come from a far country. But Abraham saw God face to face there. Why, He went out and look what He did. He eat meat. Abraham went and killed a calf, brought some butter out. And Sarah kneaded some bread and made some hoe cakes, brought it out. And the Almighty, with dust on His clothes, set down and eat a calf and drinking milk and eat hot cakes. That's the Scripture, if you want to believe it. That's right. He just disappeared right before Abraham. Oh, my. I felt where that went. But it's the truth.

L-62 Now, He said, "Abraham, according to the time life, I'm going to visit you." Sarah, on the inside... The Angel said or the Lord said, "Why'd you laugh, Sarah?"
She said, "I never laughed."
Said, "Oh, yes you did." He's still the same tonight, isn't He? He knows what's in your heart and what's going on. Sure He does.
"Why'd you laugh?"
Wish we had time to dwell a little longer on these things and... All right.

L-63 Notice. Now, here was Sarah. She got old, a little grandma. And here was Abraham, long, white beard, a hundred years old. Now, to stop your thoughts before you get started in your mind. The Bible said they were both well stricken in age. And years before this, Abraham fell on his face and laughed when he thought the very idea of him as an old a man and his life gone like he was, to ever have the child by Sarah. Is that right? Now, they were old, both of them.
Now, we notice immediately after this when God made His covenant or He showed to Abraham... Now, this is not written right in the Scripture, but read between the lines with me now.
Now, when He showed to Abraham what He was going to do, He made a manifestation of it to the people, to them. Now, watch. Now, He told them He was going to bless them. Now, ministers, now kind of hold your guns down for a minute. But notice.

L-64 We know that God had to do something to the womb, anyhow, of Sarah, didn't He? She'd been barren all these years, nearly a hundred years old and was barren. Well, in order... It's a mixed audience, but you listen to your doctor. I'm your brother. In order to do something to make this... He had to--to recreate something in that woman's womb to make it fertile. Is that right? In order to do that, He had to stimulate her heart, 'cause she couldn't go in labor like that, woman a hundred years old. Is that right? Couldn't do it. All right.
And another thing, what about the milk veins? God doesn't patch up anything. He made Sarah a new woman. He made her a young, beautiful woman again, and he made Abraham a young man again. He just turned them back to show what He's going to do in the rapture to us.
Oh, you say, "Brother Branham, ridiculous." All right, we'll follow them a minute.
