<TITLE>12. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 And he said... And Abraham got things ready and told Sarah to make some bread, as we had the other night, and brought it out, and laid it before Them, and They eat. Two of Them went down in Sodom, because Sodom was just about ready to--to be burnt up.
And now, One talked to Abraham. And these went down and preached to Lot, to pastor Lot down in a--Sodom. And he tried his best to bring the people out, but they wouldn't listen. They were just as modern as these people are today in this nation. They had their own ways, and their own religions, and their own cut and dried programs, and sin was heaping on every side. And they--they had their own way, so that you couldn't talk to them. Did you ever see people you couldn't talk to? Nobody you can... You can't speak nothing to them, 'cause they won't believe it. They'll just listen for a second; their gone. That's all. They... Little jug will fill up before a big one, you know. And so then, away they go, and they won't listen to it at all.

L-41 Now, then there was a--One that stayed back and talked to Abraham. And this One said to him, "Abraham, where is Sarah, your wife? Now, as we had this other night, I'm just going brief it for a moment. Now, how did He know he was married, had a wife, and her name was Sarah?
And Abraham said, "She's in the tent behind You."
He said, "I am going to visit you, Abraham. I'm going to fulfill My promise." Now, Who was that person? I want you to notice. Who was that man that was setting there eating? Well, He was eating veal chops, corn cakes, butter and bread, drinking milk from the cow. A Man setting there with dust on His clothes, and the Bible said that He was God. Abraham called Him Elohim. Looked to the big capital, Lord, Lord Elohim. Trace it through and find out. 'Course, the pastors here said, "Amen," to it. It was. It was Elohim.

L-42 And then Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." Elohim, the strong One, would come down in human flesh. You get it? Elohim, the strong One, would come down in human flesh, and would manifest Himself by knowing the secret of the heart of the one He was talking to. Just exactly what His Son did when He was here on earth. See? Dwelling in human flesh, what flesh? Your flesh. My flesh. The Holy Spirit, Himself, coming down in human flesh and dwelling, showing signs, said, "Where's Sarah, your wife?"
Said, "She's in the tent behind You?"
And He said, "I'll visit you."
And Sarah said, "An old woman like me have pleasure with my lord." The Bible said they were both well stricken in age, well stricken. "Think I have pleasure with my lord again." 'Cause she was... Why, she was forty-five years past menopause. "Think that I'd have pleasure with my lord again, seeing I'm old, and my lord is old?" She said, "That just couldn't be."
And the Angel, God in human flesh, eating meat, eating bread, drinking milk, setting there, said, "Why did Sarah laugh?"

L-43 Oh, Jesus said that same thing will appear just before the fire begins to fall on a modern Sodom and Gomorrah. See how close we are, friends? Look at the sign in the church. Let me stop here a moment.
Recently, I was in India, where the Lord gave us the greatest meeting we ever had. Could only stay two days. No place to put the people. Estimated five hundred thousand at the meeting. That's a half a million people, no place to put them. Outside of the city limits you couldn't get protection, and they'd have riots, and so they wouldn't let us have the meeting outside. We're supposed to this October, last of this October to be in New Delhi. If I can get released to go, where we got a amphitheater that'll set a million people. So if I have the meeting in India.
