<TITLE>04. Par 12-14</TITLE>L-12 I was speaking the other day to some friends, and I said, "You know, when God met Abraham and talked to Abraham in a body of flesh..." about eight hundred years before Christ was born. And I said, "It was Almighty God. The Bible said it was God. And there He was and two Angels, and He was hungry when He was here. He eat the flesh of a calf; He drinken the milk from the cow, and eat some corn bread and had butter on it." That's a pretty good meal. God and two Angels enjoyed a earthly meal. That's right.
They said, "Now, Brother Branham, where did He get that body?"
I said, "Don't limit Him to your faith, brother."
Oh, my. What's this body made out of? Oh, some petroleum, some potash, and some cosmic lights, and atoms holding it together; that's all. It was nothing one time; it is now; and it's going away to nothing, and then come back again in a glorified state. See, it's just a process like developing a picture.
I said, "The only thing God did, He said, 'You know they tell me that down in Sodom and Gomorrah it's getting very sinful. About time to show an example of what we're going to do at the world in the end time.'" So He just said, "Come here, Gabriel, and come here, Michael." And He [Brother Branham blows--Ed.] "Step in that body." That's all. He just pulled the cosmic light and everything together, and stepped into that body, and put one... And made one for Hisself. And when He was here He hungered like a man and eat like a man, and vanished into air in the presence of Abraham (That's right), went back to God again. Sure.

L-13 Now, if that's the kind of God we're serving, if that's the omnipotence we're serving, then what have we got to worry about? Sickness, or death, or sorrow, or corruption, or whatevermore... One of these days all these old atoms that's holding these bodies together is going to be broke away, and we're going back to the dust, and the light's going back, and all the other parts of the earth is going back to its place; but at the resurrection, He will [Brother Branham blows--Ed.] "Step into it." And...?... That'll be it. Yes, sir. Isn't that wonderful?
And that same promise that that same God make appears to us in the meeting, blesses our hearts, gives us His Word, changes us from sinners to His children, saints, washes us in His Blood, heals us when we're sick, foretells us things to come, shows us our sins and iniquity, and every time perfect. We haven't got nothing to worry about then, have we? We're just on our road home. So why wouldn't we want to love and serve and cherish One like that. Knowing that... Don't know what minute that the heart will make its last beat and we're finished, but to step out of this life is step into His Presence.

L-14 And then He--He knows that we wasn't made angels; we don't know how to enjoy like angels; we're away from the homeland, but someday... Why, away from the homeland? We were made out of the dust of the earth. And God wanted us to be earthly creatures. It was sin that made us die and go off this earth. It's sin that brought old age and sickness on. But when all that's done away with, His creatures and His delegates of His great domain will be just like they was in the garden of Eden, without sin, without death, without sorrow, without sickness, without heartache, without worry. Won't that be wonderful? And we're on our road there, just as certain.
