<TITLE>19. Par 65-68</TITLE>L-65 Do you remember there's actually three races of people in the world. We know that, isn't it? Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people. That's exactly right. Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan. You remember Peter on the day of Pentecost. He had the keys. Do you believe that? Jesus said so, and he opened the Kingdom to the Jews at Pentecost, and Philip went down to Samaria and baptized them all, but yet the Holy Ghost had fallen on none of them. Why? They was another nation.
So then they sent up for Peter and John, who came down and laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. At the house of Cornelius, he was constrained by an Angel to send for Peter. After that the Holy Ghost was opened to every race of people then: Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan.
Remember when Jesus was here on earth He showed His Messiahic sign to the Jews. They recognized it. We had that last night. Do you remember that? He showed it to the Samaritan. They recognized it, but not one time did He do it before the Gentiles. Why? He had two thousand years of Gospel. Now, your time is come. Like the Jews had thousands of years. They had to see it. The--the Samaritans and so much--and so forth. They had to see it. They wasn't looking for... They were looking for a Messiah.

L-66 Us Gentiles wasn't. We were Romans and heathens with a club on our back, worshipping the idol. We wasn't looking for no Messiah. The Messiah comes to those who are looking for Him. He showed Hisself Messiah. And today the Gentiles claim they're looking for Him, but they fail to see Him. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Declared Himself Messiah by the things that He done, and the every believer in the Bible, that seen it that was ordained to Eternal Life believed it. And if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, the infinite God, and will let the Gentile church go into the Kingdom on their basis of theology, He'd be unjust. He certainly would, 'cause He let those nations see Him. But He promised in this last days He would appear to. "Where abouts, Brother Branham?"
"As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man."

L-67 Remember the brother speaking this morning of three Angels coming down? Two of them went down into Sodom. There's always three. It's in a trinity, and the trinity is one. See?
Now, notice. There was the Sodomites, the unbelieving Sodomites, the world. There was Lot, the lukewarm Christian, believer. There was Abraham, the called out from them, elected Abraham. You believe that? Watch. Two Angels, modern preachers, went down and preached, didn't do no miracles, only just smited them blind; and the preaching of the Gospel does smite the unbeliever blind.
But Lot was saved, but Abraham represented in these--for this last days the elected Church, the Church that the Supernatural's been going in.

L-68 Watch that Angel. Now, watch what He did. Now, we all know beyond any mistake that that was not a Angel. It was God Himself. It was the theophany. God... Abraham called Him Elohim, God. And He stayed back and talked to Abraham. Now, watch the sign He gave Abraham that the... Not when the world was destroyed by water. You remember when it was destroyed by water. He said as it was in the days of Noah--their eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, and it was in the days of Lot. See? Then you can interpret that.
Watch this Angel when He came. First thing He said to Abraham, professed that He was a Stranger, just two Men coming in. Abraham with the Spirit of God in him recognized that those were Men of God. When he had told Sarah to get some bread ready, while he went and killed a calf, and let the servant dress it, and brought it out... Now, wait. That was God.
