<TITLE>15. Par 65-68</TITLE>L-65 And this ram, hundred miles from civilization, up on top of the mountain where there's no water, and was standing there hooked by his horns... And cut... What happened? God will provide Himself a sacrifice. God spoke the lamb into existence and five minutes later he went out of existence. God will provide a sacrifice. Anything that God has need of, He can provide it.
Notice, you say it was a vision. No, it wasn't a vision. It was a lamb; he killed it, and the blood ran out of it. It wasn't a vision. It was actually a lamb that Jehovah-jireh provided when He had a need of it.
And if Jehovah-jireh can provide tonight the evidence of the resurrection of His Son Christ Jesus, that you could seal your soul into heaven or into hell with it... That's right. He's Jehovah-jireh, the Lord will provide Himself a sacrifice.
If you're hungering, if you're thirsting, God has a way to satisfy that thirst. David said, "When the deep calls to the deep, there's a deep to respond to it." Jesus when He was here on earth, He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me. But if I do the works of My Father, then believe the works. Though you don't believe Me, believe the works."

L-66 What was the works that He did of the Father? He said, "I do nothing till the Father shows Me first." Saint John 5:19. "I can do nothing in Myself till I see the Father doing it. And what the Father doeth that doeth the Son likewise."
Now, the Bible teaches us by Christ's own words, "The things that I do shall you do also. More than this shall you do, for I go to My Father. A little while and the world will see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me, for I'll be with you, in you, to the end of the world." The Bible said in 13th chapter of--of Hebrews that--that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Then if God provided a lamb for them there to meet the condition, He's provided the same lamb tonight, Jesus Christ, to meet this crisis here in the church tonight. He's still Jehovah-jireh. We're living in a critical time, when this nation, which has been a strong place, and a wonderful place... To my opinion it's the greatest nation under heaven. But it's falling. And it... Every nation will have to fall.

L-67 I stood where the pharaoh stood, and you'd have to dig twenty feet to find their kingdoms that once was. I've stood where the, Alexander the Great, where the pharaohs of Egypt, as I said, I've stood where the Herods of--of Italy and so forth. But all is sunk and gone. And every nation will go the same way. Everything mortal has to give away to immortality. For we seek a city to come Whose Builder and Maker is God. And our hearts are hungering for It as Father Abraham was. We are his children.
And we are seeking the city that's not built by hands, but made of God. And all these earthly things will have to decay. Some... When I was a little boy, I used to go out to a great big oak tree. It was a beautiful tree. I thought, "How... When I'm an old man, I'll set under this tree." I went out there not long ago and there's nothing but a snag.

L-68 I used to see my father, a little short man, and he could easily... He was a logger. He could throw a nine hundred pound log on a wagon just as easy, a little short fellow. He had a way of doing it. Strong as he could be. We used to have an old broken looking-glass hanging on side of a tree, and a little bench built here where we'd wash on the outside of our little log cabin when we're getting ready to eat dinner.
And I'd watch my daddy as he'd roll his arms up, and the muscles just wadded in his arm. I thought, "He will be a hundred and fifty years old." He died at fifty-two. Here we have no continuing city, but we're seeking one to come.
