<TITLE>17. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 Now, watch what sign was done. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom." Now, there was three messengers come down for the three different classes of people. Two of them went down and preached the Gospel in Sodom, and brought out that little group that would come out.
But watch the messenger that stayed with the church, spiritual, Abraham and his group. Now, listen closely, don't forget it in the oncoming meeting. Now, what taken place? This Man that was setting there talking to Abraham, a Man was setting there eating the flesh of a calf, drinking the milk from a cow, and eating bread, that Sarah had baked on the hearth. He said to Abraham; He said, "Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah?" If He was a stranger, how did He know he had a wife, and how did He know her name was Sarah? Now, watch what the Scripture says.
Abraham said, "She's in the tent behind You."
Sarah, back behind the little tents, in the big tent, the flap closed down, no doubt. He said, "Abraham, I'm going to visit you according to the time of life," and what He was going to do.
And Sarah, inside the tent, behind the Angel, laughed within herself. How many knows that's the Scripture?
And what did this Angel say? "Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she laugh?"

L-53 Now, Jesus said that same thing would take place just at the closing of the Gentiles, for He did it, Himself, when He was here. It was did in the days of Sodom. Now watch, He never mentioned about the flood time, 'cause it isn't going to be a flood, it's going to be fire this time. This world will be blowed to pieces after while. May before morning, may before the year's out, hydrogen powers will blow this thing to bits. It'll turn back to volcanic ashes again. That's true. That's exactly what the Scripture says. Won't come like that, them realms of gases up there, 'cause it'll fall from above. Man destroys himself.
But the last message of the Angel to the church is here, and it's so simple; it's gone plumb over the head of the church, and they've failed to see it. That's exactly.

L-54 My brother and sister, in Christ's Name I persuade you; don't let the hour pass. Don't set when you raise your hands; rush to the altar. Do something; press in. Don't the Bible say, "There'd come a time, when they was all slumbered and sleeping, just before the coming of the Lord"? People are unconcerned. Just exactly like it was in the days of Sodom, just exactly like it was in the days of Noah: scoffers, fun makers.
The Angel of the Lord is here, and the last sign that He promised to give the church, is now appearing amongst the people, and they don't recognize it. How did that little old woman down there recognize... When Jesus...
When Philip come to Him, after He'd found Nathanael, and come to Him; He said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
He said, "Rabbi, when did You know me."
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."
He said, "You're the Son of God."
What did those Pharisees standing there, religious, good people, church members, fine people... They said in their hearts, in their hearts, not with their lips. They said, this man is a spiritualist, a fortune-teller, Beelzebub. He does that by the prince of the devils, Beelzebub."
Jesus perceived their thoughts. That right? He said, "You speak that against the Son of Man, it'll be forgiven you." The atonement hadn't been made. But so many words, so that you'll understand it: "Someday the Holy Ghost will come" in this last days, after two thousand years of teaching on It. Said, "The Holy Ghost will come, and one word against It will never be forgiven in this world, nor the world to come." See that?
