<TITLE>09. Par 34-38</TITLE>L-34 And the time drew nearer. And a Man come up; it wasn't a man; it was an Angel. And the Angel was none other than Almighty God manifested in a man. Now, listen, you Bible readers. Abraham called His Name Lord. Take that "Lord" and see whether it was Elohim, the Almighty, the Jehovah dressed in a man's clothes, and set down with His back to the tent. He said, "I'm going to visit you about the time of life for Sarah," ninety years old.
And you know what Sarah done? Inside the tent, the Man with His back turned, Sarah in her heart, not out loud, in her heart, inside the tent, and the Man with His back to it, Sarah laughed in her heart. And the Angel, looking at Abraham, said, "Why did Sarah laugh?"

L-35 What kind of a mental telepathy was that? Aren't you ashamed? That same Angel of mercy comes to this building each night and performs the same things. It's before fire and destruction shall burn this earth. "As it was in the days of Lot, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man."
It was an Angel with a message that could discern what was going on behind Him inside of a tent. And Sarah went out and tried to deny it. Said, "Yes, but you did do it," with His back turned, Sarah in the tent, in her heart.
Can't you see the nature of that Spirit? That same Spirit was none other than Jesus Christ. And He done the same thing when He was in the form of the Lord Jesus here on earth in that body. He performed the same signs to prove that He was. And He's here to--today and tonight, and over the earth, performing the same things before fire and destruction. And people, why, says, "You're--you're mocking. You're antichrist. You're trying to make fun. You're trying to impersonate. You want to be different. It's mental telepathy. It's a polished up soothsayer."
And Jesus said, "One word against it, it will never be forgiven to a man in this world or the world to come."

L-36 What God does anyhow, whether the people receive it or not, the message has got to go on. They never received it then; they never received it in Noah's time. They didn't receive it in the days of the Lord Jesus, and they won't do it today. That's right. But it pleases the Father to give His warnings before judgment.
What will Sodom say when they come up? When just Lot went through the streets... You say, "Just Lot?" The Bible said that their sins vexed his righteous soul daily. Sure he was. The Angels anointed him and sent him out with the Gospel.

L-37 Oh, brother, what a day that we're living in. The Bible said in this day that (in II Timothy) "The Spirit speaks expressively in the latter days they'll depart from the faith, and will be heady, highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God."
I come to the church the other night; it was altogether too snowy and bad to come here. But they had a basketball game, and they had to turn hundreds away. What is it? Their God is basketball. And what is your God then? A big blowed up piece of air. I'm glad that our God is the Lord Jesus Christ in His Person of His resurrection, a real living Creator Who made the heavens and earth. But they want to see that. The kind of spirit in them draws for that. The Spirit in a Christian draws him to Christ. "How can a man come to Me except My Father draws him."

L-38 Oh, yes. Brother, I say this. Hurry, escape; you haven't got much more time. These great big old ecclesiastical walls are going to fall one of these days. You better run quickly while you got a chance. Get out of the world. Come into Christ. When you see the hot breath of judgment hanging on each side, now swinging eighteen hundred miles an hour around, or eighteen thousand miles an hour, around and around the world, and a sinful nation with their hand on a button that could send us all to powder in five minutes... Don't look for something great to come, a great revival; you look for the coming of the Lord. Be ready now. The devil's only blinding your eyes to these things.
