<TITLE>11. Par 39-41</TITLE>L-39 When he was just at a hundred years old, one day he was setting in his tent door, and he happened to look coming up, and there come three Angels. And They walked up; They looked like men; They had dust on Their clothes. And as They drew close to Abraham, Abraham run and met Them. He said, "Come in, my Lord, and let me wash Your feet." And when he... They set down there under the oak, said, "Refresh Yourself, I'll bring a morsel of meal; then You shall go ahead on Your journey, for this cause You come to Your servant." Abraham knew that there was something a little more than a man there. So he set Them down. He run in real quick, and he said, "Sarah, get some fine meal, and knead it." And he run out in the herd and got the fattest little calf he could find. He killed it, give it to his servant to dress. Said, "Sarah, make some bread right quick now and get ready." And he went out.
You know down in the south we have what we call a fly bush. You northerners don't know what that is, just a thing you shoo the flies away, you know. So I can see Abraham out there a shooing the flies away and washing their feet. Sarah called him, and they brought out the meat of the calf, the butter from the cow's milk, and the milk, and some corn bread, and then he had veal chops, and corn bread and butter. And oh, that's a real good southern dish. And They eat it. And you know Who it was? It was two Angels and Almighty God. Right. They eat bread, and drink milk, and eat flesh. The Bible said they did. How about that?

L-40 Some minister said to me sometime ago; I was preaching on that. He said, "Do you mean to tell me, Mr. Branham, that that was God?"
I said, "The Bible said it was."
He said, "How did He become a man?"
I said, "Well, it was very easy for God, the Creator, Who made all things, just to grab a little handful of cosmic light, and calcium, and potash, and phffff [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] "Come here, Gabriel, and step into that." Phffff [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] "Come here, Michael, and step into this." Stepped into it Himself, and come here on earth, and eat, and drink, and vanished out of the sight of Abraham. Hallelujah, I'm glad that that's my God tonight. Sure it is. He holds everything in His hands. Amen.

L-41 Walked down, He said, "I'm going down to talk to Abraham, He might not understand Me. If I go as a man, he will know it." That was nothing but the pre-figure of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the Melchisedec and so forth. It was a theophany to begin with, and then It become flesh. And They eat like men, hungry. And while He was setting with His back turned to the tent, He said, "Abraham, you've been asking Sarah how she feels all the time; twenty-five years is passed now. And now, about the--according to the time of life, that used to be with her (You know what I'm... Every twenty-eight days), I'm going to visit you. And you're going to have this baby."
And Sarah, in the tent, said... [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.]
He said, "What made Sarah laugh?" Talk about mental telepathy, that surely must have been. "What made Sarah laugh?"
And Sarah said, "Oh, I never laughed."
Said, "Oh, yes, you did." He said, "And I'm going to visit you."
