<TITLE>07. Par 23-27</TITLE>L-23 Someone said to me not long ago, said, "Billy, do you mean to tell me..."
I was preaching on Abraham, those Angels that come to him and spoke to him, and I said, "It was God and two Angels."
Said, "Do you mean to tell me that that was God in a body of flesh?"
I said, "It sure was." And I said, "It wasn't a theophany; it was God. It was a Man in flesh, and He was God."
He said, "Then I want to ask you, how did He get that body?"

L-24 I said, "Well, the great Creator, Who made heavens and earth..." And we're made out of sixteen elements; that's potash, and petroleums, and--and cosmic light, and--and calcium, and so forth, why, if He couldn't take those sixteen elements, and [Brother Branham blows--Ed.] breathe them together, and say, "Come here, Gabriel, step into that.", and make one for Michael, and one for Himself... Why, certainly He did. And then vanish just in a second. That's my Father. No matter what happens to this potash and calcium, He knows right where it's laying.
I was standing before a glass not long ago, combing these few hair I got left. My wife said to me, she said, "Billy, you're almost completely bald-headed."
I said, "But I haven't lost a one of them."
She said, "Pray, tell me where they're at."
I said, "I'll answer you when you answer me. Tell me where they was before I got them. I'll tell you where they are waiting for me."

L-25 If they are, they was before they are. They had to come from the materials of this earth. Then they were here before I come here, and they'll be here after I'm gone. But someday God will resurrect us both, and we'll come together as the young man that used to be a long time ago. My Father Who could say, "Step into this and step into that," He will take my soul someday, and your soul, and we'll step back to a young man and a young woman again, to live forever.
Now, God is not a Sears and Roebuck, Harmony House either. He makes us look different. He makes things different. He makes big mountains and little mountains. He makes poplar trees, and He makes oak trees, and He makes palm trees. He makes shrubs, and He makes great trees. He makes rivers; He makes deserts; He makes oceans, and He makes plains. He makes red-headed, white-headed, brown-headed, black-headed; little, short, fat, and indifferent. See? He makes them that way. Because that's what He likes. His own nature proves what He what He is.

L-26 Now they talk about... Many of you people here from Florida. You got a wonderful place, but you take better care of your grass than I do what hair I got left, feather-edging it all the time, keeping it just smooth, and this way that way. Now, it may be pretty to the human eye, but to me, I like the jungle, the top of the mountains where she's rugged the way God made it, and the way He likes to look at it before it was perverted.
I like the way God makes things. And I like the way He makes people. He has a... He likes... He's a God of variety. He makes red flowers, white flowers, blue flowers; that's the way He makes man kind. And that's the way we'll be in the resurrection.

L-27 You take violets and cross breed them, and let them alone, they'll go back to their original violet. And you know, some of you stock raisers, you breed a mare to--to a mule; a mule can't breed back again; has to go back to its original again. That's the way it'll be in the resurrection, we'll go back to the original, go back to what man was when God made him in His image in the garden of Eden. He will be a man; she'll be a woman. And she won't need Max Factors to make her look pretty; she'll be pretty to begin with. She...
Now notice, how did all this come about? Now, if we come from the dust of the earth, which the Bible says we did, and also science says we come from the dust of the earth, then surely, our bodies was laying on this earth when this was yet a volcanic eruption without a speck of life. If it didn't, where did it come from?
