<TITLE>12. Par 53-56</TITLE>L-53 I know a many of the writers try to say that was a theophany, so forth like that. But that wasn't so. He was eating meat, and drinking milk, and eating corn bread. That's right. He was absolutely a Man, setting in human flesh.
Someone said to me not long ago, said, "Billy, you don't mean to tell me you believe That was a man."
I said, "Absolutely. It was God in flesh."
He said, "Where did He get that flesh?"
I said, "The great Creator of heavens and earth, two Angels with Him... The Bible said they were two Angels and God Himself."
"Why," he said, "where did He get that body?"
I said, "What are we made up of? Sixteen elements: petroleum, and calcium, potash, and cosmic light. Well, God just said, 'Come here, Gabriel. Come here, Michael. We're going to take a little trip down and see father Abraham.' Reached over there and got a handful of calcium, and a little potash, and cosmic light, and "pfft," breathed it together like that, and stepped into it, and talked to him." Hallelujah! That's our God. That's the reason I believe Him in the resurrection.

L-54 My wife said to me not long ago; I was combing these two or three hairs I got left; she said, "Billy, you're almost bald-headed."
I said, "I haven't lost a one of them."
She said, "Pray, tell me where they're at?"
And I said, "All right. You tell me where they was before I got them; I'll tell you where they are waiting for me." Amen. Right.
Brother, I'm telling you; I believe in the resurrection. God will speak one of these days, and we'll come forth in His image and in His likeness, men and women, not angels, but men and women. God made Angels; we'll never be Angels. We wasn't made for Angels. Men are made men. God made man. He intends him to be man. It's God's pattern.

L-55 And He made this body and He stepped into it, and eat, and disappeared right before Abraham: God Himself, Elohim. And there He was, talking to Abraham.
And He said, "Now, Abraham, where is Sarah, thy wife?" A stranger, how did He know he was married? How'd He know he had a wife, and how'd He know her name was Sarah? You see the same Holy Spirit in the building here at night, saying the same thing. A stranger, dust on His clothes, in human flesh, said, "Abraham, where is Sarah, thy wife?"
"Oh," he said, "she's in the tent." And the Bible said the tent was behind Him.
And He said, "Abraham, you think I could keep anything from you, seeing that you've believed God all this time?" Said, "I'm going to visit you next month just according to the time of life by Sarah."
And Sarah, in the tent... She never laughed out loud, but he said, inside of her, inwardly she smiled to herself.
And the Angel with His, the Man in human flesh, eating cakes, eating bread, and meat, with His back turned to the tent, said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" He'd never seen her. He knowed who she was, knowed he had a wife, and know what she was doing in the tent. Hallelujah! If that ain't our God, I don't know why. "Why did she laugh when she was in the tent?"

L-56 Notice. That was just a few hours... One more message was preached down in Sodom, and that was to make ready to get out, and then the fire from heaven fell. Is that right?
Now, see, that's the way God acted. When Jesus came at the end of the Jewish dispensation, He said--done the very same thing. Is that right? When He went to the Samaritans, He did the same thing. Now, that we're at the end of the Gentile age, He's got to do the same thing. He never did it till right at the last of the age, at the closing.
