<TITLE>07. Par 31-34</TITLE>L-31 The Bible said... Now, don't you think it was with that age, because the Scripture said they were both well stricken in age. They were both old. Now, we know, if he'd lived with her as a wife since she was about eighteen years old, and here he was... here she was ninety. Well, there's absolutely... Well, it wa--it was past the time of having children--many, many years past time. If she's actually going to have children, she'd have had them back when she was a young woman. And then when it come the time of the change, why, she would have had it before there, or maybe in that time. But now, we're forty years or better past that time.
Now, God had to perform some kind of a miracle. All that will agree with that, say "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] God had to do something.

L-32 Now, the first thing I--I'm... You--you're a mixed multitude. And you listen to your doctor. I ought to be as much to you as he; I'm your brother. So now, you... I've got to say it this a way so you'll thoroughly understand.
Now, a woman... He had to put--make her womb fertile. There had to be something happen. That's the reason, He said, "I'll visit you according to the time of life."
Now, if she become to be mother... Now, in order to go into labor, she had to have her heart strengthened. Or no woman at ninety years old... A woman at forty today, they die, most of them. And here she is, ninety, ninety years old. God had to strengthen her heart. He had to make her womb fertile.
And then, they didn't have these hygiene bottles as they have today for the babies to nurse, for the cigarette smoking mothers. But in them days the baby had to nurse normally, the mother's milk. And then if she was that old, the milk veins was dried up in her body. He had to make milk veins for her. Certainly He would.

L-33 You see, He'd just have to patch her up. God did not patch her up, He was going to show here what He's going to do to every daughter of--of God. He changed her and made a young woman out of her. And He turned Abraham back to a young man.
Now, watch and see if this isn't true. I can just imagine... So that the younger will catch it. I can imagine Abraham saying... Coming out one morning, and I can hear her say, "Why, Abraham, honey, you know that stoop in your shoulders; you're beginning to straighten your shoulders up. That gray hair has begin to turn black."
And I can hear him say back to her, "Sweetheart, those black eyes that you used to have, they are turning back again. And those wrinkles are leaving your face."

L-34 Look where they've taken a trip from. They was up in Canaan, and they took a trip and went all the way to Gerar. That's quite a journey, about three hundred miles, for an old couple, hundred years old apiece. Journeyed down to Gerar afterwards.
And not only that, but there was a young king down there by the name of Abimelech, and he was looking for a sweetheart. And he had all those beautiful girls of the Philistines there to pick from, but when he seen grandma coming, he said, "That's the one I've been waiting for." Now, wouldn't that sound ridiculous? No, sir. Abraham said, "You are fair to look upon. And you say that you're my sister, and I'll be your brother." And Abimelech fell in love with Sarah and would have married her. Ridiculous to try to think...
See, that's what all--all of Abraham's seed and his children is going to turn from old back to young at the coming of the Lord Jesus. Just live true to God. That's His promise.
