<TITLE>10. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 Then we find then, when God found them standing behind the bush somewhere, shivering, and with their fig leave aprons on, God... Like always (the world conferences) they always try to get to Geneva and Switzerland, some beautiful spot so it's inspiring. Make certain places, and then call the conference together. I guess God, when He found Adam and Eve hid behind a bush over there... They couldn't come out. They said, "We can't come out, Father. We are naked."
"And who told you you were naked?"
And then they started, just as it always is, what they call in the army "passing the buck" from one to the other. God looked around and He found a tree, a certain place, a place He thought would be beautiful. And He got some skins, and threw them back in the bushes, and said, "Cover yourself with this, and come out before Me."
And they had a conference; they talked it over. Then God made a preparation for them. Oh, I'm so glad there was an Eden conference, not let us go under fig leaves and something we can sew up together, but God killed something to cover their sins and gave a promise, that through the woman's seed would crush the serpent's head, foretelling what He would do.

L-28 I'm so glad of the Even--Eden Conference; He made a way, a preparation, a way to take away sin. He made a way that you could come back again, be brought back into fellowship. Where you'd lost and standing out somewhere undone without God, God made a preparation at this conference. And He made a--just a preparation temporarily, until the real preparation would be given through the sacrificial Life of Christ. He spoke that He--it would do that, but between that time, the lamb had to die until that time, until the Lamb of God came, that was to bruise the serpent's head, and his head to bruise the heel, until Calvary.
That conference was successful. Oh, it'll beat Satan anywhere. God's Word will defeat Satan any place, any time, on any condition. "Though your sins be as scarlet..."
You said, "Any conditions, Brother Branham?" That's exactly what it said.
"Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white like snow. The only thing I'm asking you to do, is come to My prepared place, the altar." God made an altar. There's an altar; there's a place where you meet God. "Come talk it over with Me. I've got a place prepared and a remedy for you."

L-29 It started in Eden, the first conference. He made a--a preparation. The first emergency was called, and God gave the answer and give the preparation. But people don't want to take that preparation somehow. But there was the first conference God held with man in the state of emergency; God made the decision. It isn't to us to make a decision what we should do; God makes the decision what to do! It was God that said, "You must be borned again." It wasn't the--the association of some denomination; it was God that said that.
And it was God that said, "Except you be borned of water and Spirit, you cannot see the Kingdom of heaven." You've got to be born; that's God's remedy; that's what He decided when He bought the human race in His Presence. There you are. If that ain't straight, I don't know it. That's was His decision. The blood was the way, not fig leaves, not any other kind of a covering. But God's decision, at God's conference, for God's children that was lost, the preparation was blood, has been, always has been, and always will be.
