<TITLE>08. Par 62-72</TITLE>L-62 Now, notice this. And Abraham, the only thing he could do was take second choice. And sometimes second choice is better than first, if it's took like that. Notice, wasn't long, when Lot seen the big city, he didn't see his wife turning to a pillar of salt though, he didn't see the fire burning up the city. But Abraham took the way with the Lord's despised few. He stayed in the desert.
And yet, what if Sarah would've said... Now remember, Sarah was the prettiest woman in all the land. There was no woman as fair as Sarah. Everyone seen her fell in love with her. Now, how easy it would've been for Sarah to take that kind of a choice. But she chose to stay with Abraham.
Oh, women, don't let the devil blind you, being popular and joining this and that. You stay with Christ. For the hour is at hand; great destructions are laying ahead, worse than Sodom and Gomorrah for this country. Sodom and Gomorrah will be a credit to it.

L-65 Now, while Abraham had took the way that was given him by God, and had the leanness of the land, he wasn't prosperous at all. But yet he knew one thing: he served God and he believed God.
So one day there came three Men, and they were well dusty and worn, and Abraham felt sorry for Them; he said, "Come by and sit down under the oak just for a little while." And while he was standing there talking to Them, he recognized that they weren't just ordinary Men. By their talk They were different. And Abraham went and killed a calf, and had it dressed, and had Sarah to make bread, and get ready to feed them.
Now remember, two of Them were Angels, Angels in human flesh; and One of Them was God Himself. And the One that was God had His back turned to the tent.

L-68 And Sarah stayed in the tent. I like to see a woman keep her place like that, not going out and telling her husband what to do, and every time someone comes around. But she stayed in the tent, no doubt, maybe washing the dishes or doing something.
And this One Who was God, He kept looking around towards Sodom, and He told them what He was going to do. And two Angels went down in there to preach the Gospel. But One stayed in the back; that was the One that was God. And He said, "I'm not going to keep from Abraham the secrets that I know, because he's going to be the heir of the world."

L-70 Oh, we got a right this morning, church, to know the secrets of the coming of the Lord, for the... "Blessed are the peacemakers, they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst; they shall be filled. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Then if the church of the living God is to inherit the earth, there's no secret kept from it.
"All the Father has told Me, I've told you," said Jesus. And they could not believe Him.

L-72 So in the days of Abraham, as He was referring to them, He said that as Abraham was talking to the Angel, and His back was turned to the tent, and He told Abraham He was going to visit him with a child. And Sarah in the tent laughed. And He said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" What was He showing? "Why did Sarah laugh?" It was just a few hours before destruction when that took place. Just before destruction, that fire come from the heavens and burnt up the city, and that sign was performed.
