<TITLE>16. Par 162-173</TITLE>L-162   Now, our bodies are made out of sixteen different elements of the world. We know that. It's made out of potash, and--and a--and a little calcium, and--and petroleum, and cosmic light, and atoms, and so forth. All bundled together, and makes this body, comes from the dust of the earth. You eat food. As you eat the food, that turns into... from the dust, and it come from the dust, and it just--just goes right on. Your flesh, as far as your flesh, is no different from a horse, or from a cow, or anything else. It's still just flesh.

L-163 And, boy, you glorify the flesh; but that spirit has a soul in there, my brother. That's right. But your flesh is just dust of the earth, like the animal. Your flesh is no more than an animal. And if you lust after the flesh and the thing you see, lust after women, lust after all these different things, it's still animal. That's right. That's right. You shouldn't do it. The Spirit of God will lead you on and put you on a higher plain than that. That's exactly right.

L-164   Now, and here, this great Theophany standing there. What? That great Jehovah God, you know what He said? He just reached over and got a handful of atoms, got a little light, and poured it in him like this, went, "Whew," a body, and just stepped right into it. That's all.

L-165 Said, "Come here, Gabriel," that great Archangel. Went, "Whew." "Step in that."

L-166 "Come here, Michael," the Angel at His right side. "Whew." For the... "You step in that."

L-167 God, and two Angels, walked down here in human flesh, and drank the milk from a cow, eat the butter out of the milk, and eat some corn bread, and eat the flesh of the calf. Two Angels and God. The Bible said so. That's Melchisedec, that Abraham met, coming from the slaughter of the kings. That's the Son of God.

L-168   Go ahead, here in the Hebrews, the 7th, said, "But made in the order of like unto the Son of God." There He is. He made all things by Him. And He walked right out there, and just changed that dust right back to dust again, and stepped right back into Glory.

L-169 And the Angels, as soon as They delivered Lot and Mrs. Lot, and she kept looking back. He said, told them not to do it again. And They stepped right back into in to--to the Presence of God.

L-170 Now, what a great hope we have, this great Faith that we serve tonight! The living God, the Jehovah, the Pillar of Fire, is with us. Shows Himself in power, and action, and magnify. Let them take the Picture of Him, the same Jehovah. The Son of God that came from God, went back to God, and dwells in His Church forevermore. There He is.

L-171   He has our names on His Book, with a sworn oath by Himself, for there's no one greater He can swear by, that He'll raise us up in the last day. "He that eats My Flesh, and drinks My Blood, has everlasting Life, and I'll raise Him up at the last day. He that cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out. He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting Life, and shall never come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto Life."

L-172 That same One could just reach and grab a handful of calcium and potash, go, "Whew," and there you are again. And my name is on His Book. Oh! Oh! Oh! What do I care how stooped my shoulders are getting, how old I get? Certainly not. Not a bit of worry.

L-173   Brother Mike, one of these days, bless your heart, brother, when that great trumpet will come, that sound, and that Joseph will step forth. Hallelujah! He will say, "Children!" "Whew." There you'll be, made in His likeness; young forever, old age is passed away; sickness, troubles, sorrows has vanished. Glory be to the living God!
