<TITLE>15. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 Why was Christ called the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world? God, in the beginning, when He saw what Satan had done, had perverted what He had made good. Satan can't create, you know. Satan is...
Everything that Satan's got, he perverted something that belonged to God. That's right. He perverted, and when He saw what he had done, God first begin to think. Oh, my. That's when He saw you. That's when He saw me. Amen.
Now, the Bible said, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Now, as long... What is--what is a word? A "word" is "a thought expressed." So then as long as it was a thought, it wasn't materialized. It wasn't--it couldn't be yet. But when God once expressed it, it was as good as finished right then. Oh, my. That would make Pentecost shout.
Think of it. God, before the foundation of the world, saw you. You wasn't there, but you was in His mind. He saw it. Therefore, foreknowledge He could foretell. That's the reason He likened His prophets to eagles. They go way up to see the sunlight before it ever gets there. See? Oh, my. Isn't He wonderful? Don't you love Him? All by grace, not because you deserve it, because He said so. He--He--He--He called you. You never called Him. He called you. Oh, what a... How could you turn it down?

L-53 Think of it. There'll be a time when they'll... One of these days your... When this old world is struck by the atomic power, she's laying out there turning around in space, and the howling, hot sands of the blast when she's throwed into the sun this time... First time it was throwed away from the sun which caused the water--the heat through the cold. And this time it'll be throwed into the sun and all bursted up and blowed over, and the wind will howl, and your tombstone may shine up through the sand, but you'll be somewhere.
But think, by the sovereign grace of God has give you the opportunity to come to Him. Think of it. No wonder when oceans has wept theirself into deserts, He will still the loving God. When the moon and stars will fail to shine, He will still be God.
He said, "The heavens and the earth, the solar system, the millions of years and light space will pass away, but My Words shall never pass away. When there's no more sea, no more desert, no more mountains, no more world, My Word will in ever endure as the same, the same, the same." The One that made the promise... Who made the promise? He did. Not only promised it, but He swore by Himself, 'cause there was no other higher to swear by that. He swore by Himself that He'd keep it. Oh, my.

L-54 Am I anchored away? Amen. Oh, hide my soul in the bosom of Abraham. Glory. Going to call me a holy-roller anyhow, so you might as well get started right now.
My, think of it. As the poet said on that morning when one of these days when He returns, my, I can see Adam wake up and shake his head, shake Eve and say, "Honey, wake up. It's here."
Eve reached over and got a hold of Seth, and said, "Seth, come on." Seth got a hold of Noah. Noah got a hold of Abraham. Abraham got a hold of Isaac. Isaac... Jacob. Why, they just keep shaking one another as they come right on down.
He's coming. God promised it. Every Word is true. Every Word, every line, every chapter, every verse. "All heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away." God said that. That makes it right. That makes it right when He said so.
