<TITLE>05. Par 18-20</TITLE>L-18 That night when they taken me down to the place where I was to speak, for a over six city blocks you couldn't even get in by car. And little Finnish soldiers, little boys hadn't even shaved yet, just little smooth-faced boys, not over sixteen years old, and them big boots and long coats... They killed all the soldiers off. The only army they had was just kiddies coming on. And they taken me down there that night, and there stood Russian soldiers on the street with that Russian salute, tears running down their cheeks. And they'd take a hold of those Finns, when they'd get around the place, and put their arms around them, and hug them and kiss them. Brother, anything that'll make a Finn kiss a Russian, or a Russian a Finn, will settle wars forever.

L-19 It takes the Blood of the Lord Jesus. And those communist, antireligious, they were standing there, and they'd... Some of the brethren would ask them, "What do you think about that?"
Said, "We'll accept a God like that that's got power sure. We're ready to--to confess to such as that, but not all this joining churches and laying up all the wealth of the nation, laying up in a church somewhere, and live no different from the rest of the people."
I don't blame them much myself. That's right. Yes, sir. If He's God, He's God. If He isn't, why He isn't. You're either right or wrong, all things.
Now, over in the Scriptures we read tonight from Genesis 22, to continue our story. How we like to read about Abraham. Isn't it marvelous? I just love to read about him. And now, in the 22nd chapter, and the 7th and 8th verse, and then for a text out of the 14th verse: 7 and 8, of 22, Genesis 22 we read this:
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here I--here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide Himself a lamb for the burnt-offering: so they went both of them together.
Now, the 14th verse:
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
The Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word.

L-20 Jehovah-jireh, the Lord will provide for Himself a sacrifice. Now, Jehovah, in the Old Testament appears to the human race in a seven compound relative Names that He was going to be to the people. He appeared first as Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord will provide a sacrifice."
Second, He appeared as Jehovah-rapha, "the Lord that healeth thee," Jehovah-manasses, Jehovah, our banner, Jehovah... seven compound redemptive names that God appears to the human race, as of the all-sufficient Provider for every thing that we have need of from the beginning to the end.
Now, last night we were speaking on Abraham, and we left him where God appeared to him in the Name of Almighty God. And in the Hebrew word was used the "El Shaddai," which means "the breast, or the--or the breasted One, the all-sufficient One, the strong One, the Life-giver." And we give the illustration last night as the breasted--breasted One.
