<TITLE>08. Par 21-25</TITLE>L-21 Listen to this in Luke, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." See? At the coming of the Son of Man... Now, let's watch close...?...
Abraham... There's always three classes of people on earth: believers, make-believers, and unbelievers. Now, watch him. "As it was in the days of Sodom..." Now, there was a unbelieving nation called, Sodom, very si--very bad. And they had some believers down there, the church natural, Lot, his people.

L-22 Now, Abraham represents--represents, means, church spiritual. He had separated himself from the unbelievers, and the make-believers, a very beautiful picture of the church today. The word "church" means "the called out." That's what the church is today: a called out.
Now, it come time for the end time, then there was three Men came and met Abraham. Two--all three of them were--two of them were Angels, but they looked like men, dust on their clothes, dirt on their feet. Abraham said, "Come, set under the oak. Wash Your feet. I'll bring You a piece of bread, then You may go on." See? Abraham was looking for something. That's what the church, the believer, is today, watching--watching for something. He knew the time was growing close.
Just like Noah, watching Enoch. When Enoch went up, Noah knowed that the storm was close.

L-23 And when Abraham set Them down, he went around to the tent, and said, "Sarah, knead some bread and make some cakes on the hearth." He went out and got a calf and had it slain. And he come back out, brought the meat. Meat, bread, and milk, and set it before them; They eat.
Could you imagine, One of them was God. Now I know you di--might disagree with that. I'd like to ask you brothers, did not Abraham call Him Elohim? That's the Almighty God.
Someone said to me not long ago, when I was speaking that, you said--he said, "Brother Branham, do you believe that that was God?"
I said, "Yes, sir. The Bible said so."
He said, "How did God come in that flesh?"
The human body is made of sixteen elements of the earth: That's petroleum, cosmic light, calcium and... God, the Creator, just grabbed a handful of it, breathed into it, said, "Come here, Gabriel." Step into it.' Got another one, [Brother Branham blows--Ed.] "Come here, Michael." And grabbed a handful, stepped into it Himself. He's the Creator. He can do anything He wants to."

L-24 My wife said to me the other day, "Billy..." I--I'd got a haircut here sometime ago, and a barber put carbolic acid on my hair, and it all come out. And she said, "Billy, you're almost bald-headed."
But I said, "I haven't lost a one of them."
She said, "Where are they at?"
I said, "You tell me where they was 'fore I got them." Where--they was nothing just petroleum, and cosmic lights, and then they were mine...?... And wherever they was before I got them, they're there waiting for me.
Jesus said, "Hairs of your head is numbered. I'll raise them up in the last days. All the Father's given Me, will come to Me, and I'll raise him up the last days."

L-25 I'm so glad that we know a God, though I drown in this ocean, though my body rots away, yet my God knows every element that's in here. He will speak someday [Brother Branham makes a blowing sound.--Ed.], and I'll appear. Hallelujah.
