<TITLE>21. Par 75-79</TITLE>L-75 Here was a man eating corn bread, eating calf's flesh, and drinking milk from a cow, with some butter on the bread, no doubt, setting there eating that, and saying, "I made you the promise, and I'm going to do it." Amen.
And Abraham called Him "Elohim," the Almighty God. There He was, setting there, said, "I'm going to visit you according..."
And Sarah, back in the tent, went: laughed, said, "Me, an old woman near a hundred years old, and have pleasure with my lord again like that? Oh, it couldn't be."
And the--the Man setting there said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" Oh, what kind of telepathy is that? What kind of... The woman in the tent behind Him... Said, "Why did she laugh?"

L-76 Now, watch. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man," that God would manifest Himself in human flesh, His church, the Body of Christ, and would do the same sign. There the Gentile gets it.
Now. "Sirs, we would see Jesus." Is He the same yesterday, today, and forever? See how He made Hisself known to the Jews, how He made Hisself known to the Gentiles and--or to the Samaritans, and promised it to the Gentiles?
Now, we've had two thousand years; that's never been in the church. But it shall be Light in the evening time. The prophet said there'll be a day that it won't be neither called night or day, but in the evening it shall be light."

L-77 Now, listen. Let me... One day this week, the Lord willing, I'm going to preach on when The East And The West Meets.
Now, every person that's got any education knows that civilization has travailed with the sun, from the east to the west. How many knows that? Certainly you know it. Civilization, the oldest we have is China, and we come right around. Civilization's traveled with the sun.
Now, in the eastern people... On the eastern horizon the s-u-n rises and sets in the west, on the western people: s-u-n. And the S-o-n of God (the same as the s-u-n of God), the S-o-n of God came to the eastern people first, the Jews, and so forth. Is that right? Greeks and so forth... come to the east.

L-78 Now, there's been two thousand years that's been dismal. They've made organizations, and built hospitals, and they've built churches, just what Jesus told them not to do. He never said build churches. He never said build organizations. He said, "Preach the Gospel (That's right.), manifest the power of God."
But these things has took their place. They've lived their day. But now, "In the evening time," He said, "it shall be light." And the same Son that shone on the east shines on the west. The same Messiahic signs that was done there to prove was Messiah, shines on the west. And we're on the west coast. We are five hundred yards, almost, from the sea. And if we go that way, where are we going? Back to China again. The east and the west has come together.
That's the reason sin is bottling up here on this west coast. It's terrible, and it's wicked. Why, we used to send to France to get patterns. France sends to us to get fashions from the women.

L-79 Our Pentecostal women, shame on you. You Pentecostal men, smoking cigarettes and carrying on, and marrying three or four wives, and deacons in the churches. Shame on you. God be merciful to your sinful soul. And you organizations of--of Methodist, and Baptist, and Assemblies of God, and Churches of God that permits that...
You say, "You're always picking on the women." Any man that will let his wife wear shorts and smoke cigarettes, it shows what he's made out of. He ain't a man.
"Oh," you say, "you're--you're cruel, Brother Branham."
I'm not. I'm not cruel. I'm preaching God's Word. Exactly right. Shame on you. Shake yourselves and come to yourselves. Come back to God. "It shall be Light in the evening time." Sirs, we would see Jesus.
