<TITLE>18. Par 66-70</TITLE>L-66 I can see them as they turn away from God there. I can see Adam as he starts walking away, and Eve, his arm around Eve, as they started out through the garden of Eden, and great Jehovah God standing there. I can see all the great endless eternities...
Not long ago I had the privilege of looking through that scope out yonder at Mount Palomar there, I could--Mount Wilson, I could see a hundred and twenty million years of light space. And beyond that is still space. And I wondered, "How endless is the eternity?" And yet God, Who covered all space and eternity... I can see Him bottled down to four little letters, l-o-v-e. He just couldn't stand to see His children be turned away to be a wanderer, to be a shifter-about, and nothing to care for them. And now look, I see Him by sovereign grace... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-67 When God makes a covenant with man, man will break it every time. He always did, but God there, made a covenant in Hisself. Never said, "If you will," or something or another, "I will put enmity," promising a Saviour, between her seed and Satan's seed.
And now, let's look. Four thousand years has passed, and all the time a shadow of the blood through the offering of sheeps and goats and so forth, which could not take away sin, but just covered it up... Now, we're down four thousand years later. Let's turn our camera around this way to four thousand years later. Let's pull up the shades this morning; we're in Palestine; we're in Jerusalem.
I hear the awfullest racket outside. What is it? Oh, it's a mob, some way, this way, and some that way. What is it? There comes the great high priest, his turban on top of his head. Here comes the other priest, "Away with such a thing, away with such a thing."

L-68 I hear a little woman called Magdalene run out in front and said, "What has He done? Nothing but healed your sick and done good. What do you accuse Him of? How can you condemn Him. He's done nothing."
Someone slap her, and say, "Would you believe that woman instead of your priest?" Chuck her out of the way.

L-69 I hear something dragging, and I look. There comes an old rugged cross, dragging down over them cobblestones. I see the sh--meat wearing off of His shoulders as He pulled along with a crown of thorns over His face here, and the Blood, mockery spit hanging down His face, and His... see them mocking, they'd strip, going to strip Him in a few minutes, so they throwed His robe over Him, wove out without a seam, that they'd woven for Him, Martha and Mary. And here He comes dragging the cross down, staggering and bleeding, making a bloody footprint, to the only place that God will ever recognize a weary sinner to come, coming by the footprints of the Lord Jesus, through the shed Blood.

L-70 Here He goes down through the street, pulling the cross. Up the hill He goes, yonder He falls. Simon the Cyrene, a colored man, come, helped Him pack it along. Watch Him. I look on His back. Look across that white robe He's got around His shoulders. I see there's little red spots all over His robe. Wonder what that is? As He moves on up the hill, them spots begin to get bigger, and bigger, bigger, and bigger. Off... A while, I see them all go into one great big bloody splosh, and I hear something going [Brother Branham makes a slapping sound--Ed.] What is it? It's the second Adam, the One without sin, come to take sin, come to redeem us from what first Adam did, come to redeem us back to fellowship, shedding His Own Blood. And as He's going up the hill, death beating at Him, just stinging around His face.
