<TITLE>08. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 So then, we find out that Abraham slipped in the tent, and he said, "Get ready, Sarah, knead some meal now, and get it ready. Make some cakes out here on the hearth right quick." And he run out to the herd and felt around till he got a little fat calf, and had it dressed. He said, "Fry these lamb chops (I mean,)--these veal chops right quick now, and you get them ready." And he went out and brought the bread and everything before them and set down. And I suppose he walked over and got the old fly bush, you know, and begin to shoo the flies.
How many knows what a fly bush is? I'm sure there's Kentuckians here somewhere. We never had a screen door till just recently. Old fly bush, you know, when they was around the table. On Sunday, when they come... someone come home for dinner, me and my little brother stand each end of the table up on a chair with the old fly bush, going back and forth like this. We run out of newspapers, we had to get us a--a limb off of the hickory tree out there, you know, an old maple, and shoo the flies away and... And then, when mama's churning, and you know how--how it goes.

L-30 Abraham standing there with the fly bush, saying, "Well, I guess you're traveling, Brethren."
"Yes, we've been traveling."
"I see. Look like You might have come from a strange land. You're Strangers around. We have never seen You around here."
"Yes, I suppose we are." See?
And what were they. It was God Himself and two Angels, God Himself and two Angels in human form.
As I've often said... Someone said, "You don't mean you believe that, Bill?"
"Yes I do. I sure do. God... He..."
Well, what are we made out of? Sixteen elements of the earth: Cosmic light, and--and petroleum, and potash, and calcium. God just reached over and got Him a handful of each, went "puff" [Brother Branham blows--Ed.] stepped right into it. Said, "Come here, Gabriel, "puff" get in here. Michael, we're going down and see what's going on in Sodom, been a lot of prayers coming up here, I want to see what's going on." And He moved out there.

L-31 He certainly was God. Don't let that stall you, 'cause Abraham called Him Lord, Elohim, Almighty God. Yes, sir. Abraham ought to know; he was talking face to face with Him.
So he set there. And this Fellow had His back turned to the tent. Now remember, He'd never been around, never seen... He was a perfect stranger. And after He got through eating, why, Abraham was fixing to question Him in a little bit. "Where are You going? What's Your business?" As he shooed the flies, you know, and waiting, you know, a little bit.
And then first thing you know, One of them said... had His back to the tent. He said, "Where is Sarah, your wife?" Say, how'd He know he was married, and how'd He know his wife's name was Sarah? Now watch. He's talking to the elect Church. The formal church was down in Sodom yet. But the elect Church was out of Sodom. And so is every borned again Christian out of Sodom. The hour is at hand. We see destruction hanging everywhere.

L-32 Now, remember, this Angel did not go down into Sodom. Sodom would not have believed that message. But He talked to these up here who believed the supernatural, Abraham and his group, out--out from the fire, would not go into the destruction. We cannot go into judgment. If we be--do, God will be unjust to do it, for Christ stood our judgment. We have no judgment. He took our judgment. See? We're free from judgment. "He will not come into condemnation or judgment, but have passed from death unto Life." Correct, Saint John 5:24. Think of it, like a handful and two dozen eggs. See? Saint John 5:24. "He that heareth My Words and believeth (not make-believeth, but)--believeth on Him that sent Me hath (present tense) Eternal Life and shall never come into the judgment, but's passed from death unto Life." That's His own Word. That has to be so.
