<TITLE>21. Par 72-73</TITLE>L-72 Now, look what He did, how he knew it. He set there and talked with Abraham, He said... Now, the first time He'd met Abraham, first time Abraham had seen Him, knowingly. And these other men was going to go on into Sodom. And they went down there and preached, and blinded the people. Isn't that what the preaching of the Gospel does, blinds the unbeliever?
Notice. But this One stood back there with the elect church, Abraham and his group, the circumcised, the real ones. He said... Lot was a... The one that lives in the city, and has big times. And see how his daughters was, and how sons was, and everything. That's just like the world today. Sodom's sin and everything. That's the church nominal. But the Church spiritual is a called out group, separated.
What kind of an Angel come to them. Now, let's watch it. Now, remember, your Lord said, "As it was then, so will it be at the coming of the Son of man." Jesus said so, that, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Words will never fail." Now, listen close and be quiet.

L-73 Now, this Angel's talked to Abraham. He said, "Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah?" How did He know he was married? How'd He know he had a wife? And how did He know her name was Sarah? Strange, wasn't it.
And Abraham said, "She's in the tent behind You." Uh-huh.
He said, "Abraham, seeing that--that you believe God, and you're going to be heir to the world, all the Gentiles and all will be brought into the Kingdom by your seed, by yo... The promise is made to you. I'll not keep any pro--anything hid from you, Abraham." Oh, I love that. "I won't hide this from you, Abraham. But you've believed Me for that baby for twenty-five years. Now, you're a hundred years old, and she's ninety. But Abraham, according to the time of life..." In a mixed audience, you know what I mean, the twenty-eight days. She'd stopped fifty years or more... Yeah, sixty years before that. Said, "According to the time of life with Sarah, I'm going to visit you again, and you're going to bring that baby."
And Sarah, behind Him, in the tent, flaps closed, laughed within herself. Just... [Brother Branham demonstrates--Ed.] And said in herself, "Could I have pleasure with my lord?" What do you call your husband? "Will I have pleasure with my lord again, seeing that I'm old, and he's old too?"
And the Angel, with His back turned, said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" What made her laugh?
Don't you see? What kind of a Spirit, what kind of an Angel was that a visiting that elect church there. Now, Jesus said that same thing will take place just before His coming. There'll be a sign of His coming.
