<TITLE>15. Par 51-53</TITLE>L-51 I can just imagine Abraham walking around; he said, "Sarah, dear, you know what? You know that--that--that your hair's turning blacker all the time."
I can hear her say, "Abraham, you know, you're not as stooped in the shoulder as you was. You're coming up." In a few days, they were back to about twenty-five years old a piece. That's right. That's what they did. See? You have to admit this, now scholars. I know that didn't go so good, but listen.
I want to ask you something. Let me show you something. God had to perform a miracle. Did He? Sarah was a past the age of bearing. In other words, her--her womb was dead. And she was about forty-five or fifty years a past the menopause. You know what that means, don't you? And she'd lived with her husband since she was sixteen or seventeen years, perhaps, just a kid, a girl, married. It was his half sister. And he'd lived with her since she was young lady, and no children.

L-52 And now, look. This is a mixed audience, but you'd listen to doctor, so I'm your brother. Now, I want you to remember me as that, if we was in the doctor's office. Now, look. In order to have this baby, they didn't have bottles and health and hygiene nipples in them days. So they absolutely had to create new milk veins for the baby. It had to nurse. And then a woman of a hundred years old, He would have to give her another heart, 'cause she couldn't go in labor like that. You know that. So God don't patch up things. He made her brand new again to give a promise to you and to me who's getting old and weary.
Watch what He did. They take a journey from there, from the place where they were at there at the fields of--of Sodom and the slime pits. Measure it on your map and see how far it is to Gerar: about three hundred miles. It's a long ways down there. Quite a journey for an old man a hundred years old, and a little ninety year old grandma, going down, isn't it?

L-53 And you know the strange thing it was, when they got down there, Abimelech, the king down there with all those beautiful Philistine girls, he was hunting a sweetheart, and he fell in love with Sarah, grandma, little...?... That's what the Bible said he did. He fell in love with Sarah, thought she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever saw, a hundred year old woman: Grandma, a little dust cap, you know. And he fell in love with her and said, "That's who I've waited for." Ridiculous.
She was a beautiful woman. God had turned her back like He's going to you and I someday. Hallelujah!...?... Don't worry about gray hair and getting old. Hallelujah. "If this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one waiting." He proved by Abraham, the father of the promise, what He'd do for all of his children. And we're Abraham's seed. That's right.
You say, "Oh, Brother Branham, they--they--they just lived longer then." They did. The Bible said a few verses before that, "They were well stricken in age." They were old. Grandma... Did He turn them back? Sure He did.
Look after--after years they were... Isaac was about twenty years old, Sarah died, or maybe a little older. Sarah died and Abraham married another woman and had, I believe, nine boys besides the girls. Glory.
