<TITLE>15. Par 41-43</TITLE>L-41 God had showed in Sarah and Abraham here, exactly what He was going to do to all of Abraham and Sarah's seed. All the seed of Abraham should be that way. And here on earth, He brought them back to a young man and a young woman. And I told that story just exactly as close as I know how it happened. And I--it was... I don't... Don't... Let's call it a vision, 'cause if I would say, that it was a little translation there... If it was a vision, I never had anything like it. Now, I'm not trying to impersonate the great Saint Paul, 'cause I don't... I seen too much of that in my life, carnal comparisons. But say it was a little translation. I went to the first heaven, and if they it's that way in the first heaven, what did Paul see when he went to the third? My... No wonder he said, "Eyes not seen, or ears not heard."
If it's that glorious in this heaven here, when you go into the third heaven, what must that brother have seen?

L-42 Now... Now, immediately after that. After being come back, God renewed them. He made them a young man and a woman. He started anew. They were both fertile at that time. Then they bore the little boy, which was called Isaac. Abraham circumcised him the eighth day and had a feast, and when they weaned him, and so forth. And then, we find out that he grows to the age of about, let's see about, twelve years old, just a pretty, little Jewish boy with black, curly hair, and little, black eyes. And how that father and mother must have cherished that little lad. And one night, the Lord woke Abraham up and He said, "Abraham."
Now, let me just stop there. He called Abraham, but I want to say this. This isn't Scripture, but it certainly will blend with the Scriptures. "Abraham, I want to show your seed from here after, that what a man will do when he really trusts Me. I know I promised you this boy twenty-five years ago, and you didn't stagger with unbelief at My promise, but you believed it. Now, I want to make the people down in Yakima, and different places, where this Gospel will be preached, to know that I keep My Word. I'm going to give you a double trial to--to show that the people who accept My Word, no matter what comes or goes, they must hold onto My Word. Now, I give you this son; now I want you to take that son up on top of a certain mountain that I'll tell you. I'm going to make out of you, out of your seed here, a mighty nation out of this boy; and I--I'm going to make also all the nations of the earth; and you're going to be the father of many nations. And now, I want you to take the only hope that you have of ever Me keeping My Promise for you to be a father of nations, I want you to take him up on top of a mountain and kill him. Destroy everything that gives the evidence that you're going to have it." Oh, I hope you get that.

L-43 Then 'course, poor old Abraham, he didn't want to wake up Sarah and tell her about it. So he got up early, took the little boy, and the two servants, and their little mule, and he chopped the wood and put it in a sack with something, and took off into the wilderness.
Now, any--an ordinary man, when I was on patrol for seven years, I had to walk average thirty-two miles a day through the wilderness. And we got gasoline feet in these days. Then men had to walk everywhere they went. An ordinary man, ought, you know, ought to walk twenty-five miles a day. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
