<TITLE>17. Par 65-67</TITLE>L-65 What is He? Jehovah God; He's a Redeemer. Hallelujah. He's here in this building now, confirming His Word. He lives and reigns. He's God's Redeemer; He's the Kinfolks to me. He becomes my Brother. He is my God; He is my Saviour; He's my coming King; He's my Healer. He's My Father; He's my Mother: He's all that I have in this world, or in the world to come.
How little will the delegates of this association ever remember when they think of redemption, even to the times from the very beginning, they'll recognize it. And when we all, that palm-bearing group, that comes up washed in the Blood of the Lamb with palms in their hands, and white robes on, and we take our position at the seat of the throne of the Son of David (Hallelujah!), we'll still sing redemption's songs to Him...?... Hallelujah! Oh, sure we will.

L-66 Yonder I see Adam and Eve, that first little sweethearts, there in the garden of Eden. I see Adam back there, when he put his arms around his little sweetheart to walk out with her, for God had condemned them. And he started out with his arms around his darling. Adam was not deceived; he didn't have to walk out. But he walked out because he loved his wife. He walked out with both eyes wide open. No matter, if she had to go to torment, he'd go with her.
When God looked down and seen that love of a human being, it was so great that He couldn't stand it Himself. That's right. He said, "I'll come and go too." And said, "I'll put enmity between her seed and the serpent's seed."
Listen closely. Four thousand years later, yonder in the city of Jerusalem (let's change our scenes and look), there's--come down the streets of Jerusalem, bumpity, bumpity, bump. Out the gates of Damascus yonder, goes towards Golgotha, a little Fellow, with a crown on of little thorns on His head, and a cross over His shoulder. Look all over His back, there's little red spots. What are they?

L-67 Look back yonder when Adam was leaving with his sweetheart, going out under condemnation, was a shadow--a shadow of redemption somewhere, because there was blood running over them. Somewhere there was a shadow; he knew it. And I hear something going [Brother Branham claps--Ed.]. What is it? It's the old, bloody sheepskin beating up and down on his legs, speaking of some time. There's a land beyond the river, that they call the sweet forever, and we only reach that shore by faith decree... Knowing that someday, they'd get back into Eden again.
And as I can see him going yonder now, the second Adam going up the hill, the little spots on His back. They get bigger, bigger, bigger, as He walks on. What is it? After while they all go into one spot. I hear something beating again. [Brother Branham claps--Ed.] What is it? There goes the second Adam, no more than Jehovah Himself, Who comes down and was made flesh (To what?), even to go to hell with His sweetheart, to redeem her back to...?... Christ to redeem His Bride. Hallelujah! He seen it in Adam yonder. And He come down, was made flesh, Kinfolks with us, that He might marry the human race to Himself. There He is, going yonder to Calvary.
