<TITLE>18. Par 67-69</TITLE>L-67 I can see Him; He said, "Wait a minute. There's another group. Over here had been Job, Abraham, Isaac, Sarah. Why, heaven wouldn't be heaven without Sarah and Abraham in it, hardly. There they was over here in paradise; they couldn't go in the Presence of the Father. They lived under the burnt sacrifice, all they knowed how to do. They were justified. But it couldn't divorce sin. It couldn't take sin.
So, Abraham and them back in there in paradise, having a good song that morning perhaps. Along about two o'clock in the morning, time on earth. I can see Him walk up there to the gates of paradise. [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit five times--Ed.] I can hear Abraham say, "Wonder who that is?" He opened up the door. Abraham said, "Well, there He is. The One that I saw in a vision."
I can hear Daniel raise up, said, "I know Him. He's the Rock that I seen hewed out of the mountain without hands."
I can hear Ezekiel say, "Yes, that's Him. He's the One I seen coming in the clouds with dust under His feet. Hallelujah. Oh, there He stands."
He said, "Children, you died under good faith."
Job said, "That's the One that I call my Redeemer." You ain't got room for me to preach now. "That's the One that I call my Redeemer. For I know the deliverance is nigh now." That's Him. He had to witness to everything. He witnessed to the earth, to the hell, to the lost souls, to--back up here to paradise. He said, "You were faithful. Now, come on. We're going up this morning. It's almost daylight. They got My body sealed in up yonder. I've got a different body."

L-68 When a saint dies, I'm not able to tell you what kind of a body He receives. But it's not a glorified body. It's not a spirit, but it's some kind of a body that lasts until the resurrection. And when He said, "I haven't received this glorification yet, but I'm going up, and we're going to come out in a few minutes."
I can hear Sarah say, "Come on, Abraham." All of them get together, and the saints rallying around Him. First thing you know, it's along about daylight. I can hear Abraham say, "Master? You going to wait around a little while? Can we make a little whistle-stop before we go up to glory? I'd like to look the old home place over again."
"Well, sure." He said, "Sure. I'm going to be with My disciples forty days and nights. Come on." And away they went.

L-69 The morning star gave it's light. The Angel of God come rolled away the stone. And the Bible said that the saints that slept in the dust of the earth, rose (Matthew 27) and come out of the graves and appeared to many.
I can see Caiaphas saying, "You know what? They tell me that holy-roller raised from the dead this morning? I wonder what I--what I--what's going to happen to these people now? All these kind of stories."
I can see Abraham and Isaac walk... Abraham and Sarah, their arms around one another, walking down the street. And Sarah--Abraham say, "Sarah? Don't the old place look natural over there? And remember when we was setting up there?"
"Yes, I remember."
Caiaphas said, "Who is that couple there? Seemed like I seen them somewhere."
Abraham said, "Sarah, Sarah. We're being recognized." They had a body like Jesus' body. They could disappear like He did through the walls. Just disappeared out of their sight.
And Caiaphas said, "You know? Something's going wrong around here. I don't know what's happening." Oh, my.
