<TITLE>04. Par 11-14</TITLE>L-11 Now, this afternoon I was going to speak on the second coming of the Lord Jesus. I said maybe I would. I may have to postpone it till Monday or Tuesday, for what I want--was trying to do, in talking on this subject, is to prove that the scientific world--the scientific second coming of Jesus in this age, the days that we're living in. When, I don't know. But I believe... Now, this is not the Lord that telling me, just to take the science plus the Scripture--or the Scripture plus science, rather, and in proving that this generation, or the age that we're now living, looks to me like they're going to see the second coming of the Lord Jesus right at hand. And I just haven't got enough information yet on the scientific side to produce this today.
So I thought maybe we'd come down and just have a good overgrowed Sunday school lesson, being I got to preach again tonight, and then have healing services tonight. Will that be fine? Would you like...?... We pray it's in the Holy Spirit.

L-12 Say, one thing again, I want to share while it comes on my mind. A minister or two has called up, got a hold of my manager and so forth, about the other night when I made a remark (I'm sure that it was misunderstood.), that--about Adam and Eve.
Now, it was said that--thought that I said that Adam hadn't sinned. Adam was sinned, and condemned, and was driven from the garden of Eden by God. See? The redemptive robe over him showed that. See? Well, what I said, that Adam sinned willfully. See? See, Eve was actually deceived. But Adam was not deceived. He deliberately sinned (See?); deliberately sinned, knowing what he was doing, because of his wife. He took position with his wife. Then they went before God and both of them was condemned.
And Jesus, not ignorant of what He was doing, came down, and took His place with the sinner, the Church, that He might redeem the Church back to Himself. See? See, I said it was a type. Adam was the--was... Christ is the second Adam. Where through first Adam all die; through second Adam all live.

L-13 But the misunderstanding was they thought that I said that Adam never sinned. But Adam did sin. But he did it with his eyes wide open. And instead... In Timothy 3 it said that Adam was not deceived. But the woman, being deceived, was in the transgression. See?
Eve actually thought she was right. But Satan deceived her. But he didn't deceive Adam. He knew it was wrong. But because of the love for his wife, he represented hisself with sin and was condemned by the same. And cast out of the garden of Eden.
And Christ represented Hisself with the Church full of sin, and was condemned, and His soul went to hell. That's right. And God raised Him up on the third day. You believe that? See? It wasn't that he didn't sin; he did sin.
And Christ was... He never... God wouldn't have sent Him to--to hell pure. He had to send Him to hell condemned (See?), because He took our sins. And Christ died, not righteous; Christ died a sinner. See? Christ never sinned Himself, but He took our sins on Him.

L-14 Any Scripture theologian teacher would know the scapegoat, and--of the Old Testament and so forth. He was both... I know you have that brethren here believes that the devil was the scapegoat. But no, no. No, Christ was both goats (That's right.), both death and resurrection. You see? And He bore our sins away, and then come forth in the resurrection.
And so it was Christ being represented for the Church. He took the Church's place of sin, and was cast into outer darkness, into hell, and rose again the third day. God raised Him up for our justification.
And He did that on the basis of one Scripture. And of a minister who later backslid, spoke the Scripture. David said, "I will not leave His soul in hell, neither will I suffer My holy One to see corruption." The only Scripture I find in the Old Testament, spoke by prophecy that God was going to do it. So He did not leave His soul in hell.
