<TITLE>06. Par 18-20</TITLE>L-18 Watch the nature of this Angel, bringing the last message before destruction. He said, "Abraham, I'm going to keep My promise to you." I love that. That's our Father God. "I'll keep My promise to you. Just about the time of life, according to the time of life, about the next twenty-eight days, I'm going to visit you. And that baby that you've waited for these twenty-five years, you're going to have it."
Poor little Sarah, kindly weak in faith... But in them days, the circumcision of the man brought the woman in also, for only the circumcision could be recognized before God. And the female could not be circumcised; therefore, the husband was the atonement for her, because they are one. Abraham's faith held Sarah at that time.

L-19 Sarah back in the tent, behind the Angel, when the Angel said, "Sarah will have the baby," Sarah, in her heart, not out loud, in her heart she laughed. And the Angel with His back to the tent, looking Abraham in the face, said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" What kind of a telepathy is that? In the tent... Discerning her thought behind him. Don't you see how the Scripture makes that plain? That was the last warning message before destruction. Open your eyes. Behind Him in the tent, not out loud, but in her heart, and the Angel of the Lord discerned what she did. "Why did she laugh?"
And she was called forth. And she was trembling. She said, "I didn't laugh."
He said, "Oh, yes, you did laugh." That was the Angel bringing the last message before fire fell from heaven.
Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, so will it be in the days that the Son of man is revealed from heaven." You see the message? "When the Son of man is revealed from heaven..."

L-20 Now, when this Angel went to Sodom and begin to speak his message through a Man, they mocked at Him and laughed at Him. And they would not receive the message. Neither do they do it today. It's the very same thing, and they won't believe it. There's only one thing left; that's judgment.
But notice, the Bible said they'd be like that. In II Timothy 3, the Bible said that they will be. "In the last days the Spirit speaks expressingly." That's directly, not to that day, but to the last day. "Men shall be heady, high-minded, lovers of television, things of the world." That goes in with it. "Lovers of the world, more than the lovers of God, trucebreakers, and false accusers, and despisers of those which are good..."
You say, "That's atheists, Brother Branham. That must be communists."
That's American, so-called Christians: "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power (the supernatural of the Gospel), from such, get away from their walls; from such turn away. For this is the sort that goes from house to house, and with societies, and so forth, leads silly women captive with sin, taken away with divers lusts," with all kinds of parties. And, "My church does this, and we have so much time," but no time to seek the Holy Ghost, and the notion and minds of God. They deny it. No time...
