<TITLE>16. Par 43-45</TITLE>L-43 So they... She was... Sarah was...?... So this Man, after He got through eating, He said, "Abraham." Watch, called him by name, "Abraham, where is your wife?" How did He know he was married? "Where is your wife, Sarah?" Listen to that. Her name actually wasn't Sarah, Sarai, first, then was called Sarah because she was a princess. He called her by her princess name.
"Abraham (That's your name.) where is your wife? (For you're a married man.) and her name is Sarah." How'd He know that?
Watch the sign. Now, remember; He said, "Just as it was at Sodom," when fire burnt the earth up, Sodom and Gomorrah, "so shall it be in the come of Son of man."
Now, watch. That same sign, given to a Gentile world. See what we're getting at?
"Where is your wife, Sarah?"
Abraham said, "She's in the tent."
And the Bible said the tent was behind the Angel. How many ever read that, know that's true? Sure. The tent was behind Him.
"She's in the tent behind You."
Said, "Abraham, twenty-five years ago (in other words,) I promised you a son. I'm going to visit you according to the time of life of Sarah (the twenty-eight days)." Said, "I--I'm going to visit you according to that time. And you're going to have this son."
And Sarah, being ninety years old and Abraham a hundred, she went [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] to herself, laughed, grinned to herself behind the Angel inside the tent, and the Angel said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" Amen. Now, what kind of a telepathy was that?

L-44 "Abraham, you're a married man. You have a wife. Her name is Sarah. I never seen you before, never knowed nothing about you (in otherwise). You never seen Me before, but you know that there's something going on."
Now, "Where is your wife, Sarah?"
Abraham said, "She's in the tent behind You."
And she went, [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.]
He said, "Why did she laugh?" In the tent behind Him... That was to the church elected. Sodom never seen it. Sodom cared nothing about it. But Abraham waited in a hot tent, hotter than this building this afternoon, waiting for something to happen, and he found it.

L-45 Jesus said, "As it was that day, so will it be at the coming of the Son of man."
The Church elected will see that same sign again. What are we? To the Gentiles, waiting for a Messiah... God is sovereign. If God let... At the age of all the intellectual teaching that Israel had, and Samaria had, and just at the end of their teaching, the end of their day, He showed them the sign of the Messiah to prove it, that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, He will not let the Gentile church come in without doing the same thing for them. If it was, He'd give them something He wouldn't give us. He'd give one of His children a piece of pie and the other one a piece of pie but refuse it to the other.
That... He's not a Father like that. No. He will give it to them if they're willing to eat it. That's it. It's up to the church, then it's up to them.
