<TITLE>16. Par 59-61</TITLE>L-59 Notice. This man stood and looked at Abraham. Women them days wasn't like they are now. Every time somebody comes up in the yard, the woman's got to put on her--her little shorts, and go out in the yard, and see what her husband's talking about, butt into his business. Shame on you. Shame on you men. If you got more man about you to let your wife do that, it's all right, I guess. That was raw. But I... I--I don't take it back. That's the truth. Now, that's just the truth.
I got little respects for a man will let his wife do a thing like that: smoke cigarettes, and drink whiskey, and wear those kind of clothes.
Man's not measured by how big a muscle he's got; he's measured by the bag in his knees of his pants where he prays. Man is not measured by muscle; that's beast. He's measured by character. There never was a greater man than Jesus Christ. And the Bible said, "There's no beauty of Him that we should desire Him," little stooped-shouldered, thin Fellow. But in Him was God--character. Man is measured by character. I seen men that weighed two hundred and fifty pounds, throw a baby out of a mother's arms and ravish her. And you call that man? I call that beast.

L-60 Now, listen. This Man setting there, He said, "Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah?" A stranger, how did He know she was married--he was married? How did He know that his wife's name was Sarah? Watch that Angel, what message He gave.
Abraham said, "She's in the tent behind You (And the Bible said that the Angel had His back turned to the tent.) --behind You."
Said, "Where is Sarah, your wife?" How did He know that he had a wife, and how'd He know her name was Sarah? Watch the nature of that Spirit now to the elected church.
The Gospel is wrote between the lines as the same as on the lines. He's hid it from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and revealed to babes such as will learn. Jesus thanked God for it. So do I. Don't take the seminary experience; you take the kneeology experience to know God. And...
He said, "You see, I'm going to keep it a secret from Abraham, he's going to be heir of the world?" He said, "Sarah, your wife's going to conceive. I'm going to visit you about the time of life," twenty-eight days for Sarah, her nearly a hundred years old." That time had ceased with her forty, fifty years before. "I'm going to visit her according to the time of life. You're going to have this child."
And Sarah, inside the tent, laughed within herself. And the Angel with His back to the tent, said, "Why did Sarah laugh?"

L-61 Oh, I hope you're not so numb by the things of the world that you don't pick that up. Don't you see the nature of the same Angel just before the coming of the Lord? Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." Surely, you're not spiritual dead enough not to recognize that. The discernment... Just at the end of time of the Jews, God sent that Spirit. Just at the end of time of the Samaritans, He sent that Spirit. Just at the end, before judgment, when He's going to burn the world up, Sodom and Gomorrah, He sent that Angel as a Witness. And bombs are hanging yonder ready to blow this world into bits in one minute's time.
There's Billy Graham and them evangelists out yonder pushing that Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Angel of the Lord's with the elected Church, the called out Group, showing signs and wonders of discernment. So shall it be in the coming of the Son of man.
