<TITLE>23. Par 69-72</TITLE>L-69 I ask you, Christian friend, ask you, sinner friend, what if you was dying tonight, could America save you? Where will you be ten thousand years from tonight? Where will you be, maybe be in the morning? Your destination might be sealed tonight. You don't know. Let me warn you: Get right with God. Get a spirit... Get acquainted with the heavenly things of that Spirit comes down from heaven where holiness stands, where Angels of God stand, where Jesus Christ stands at the right hand of God in majesty, and glory, holiness, and power of God. Then you walk as a stranger here, because you're an alien here. You're not of this world.
"Ye are not of this world, little children. Neither am I of this world. I pray for you." See, Jesus prayed for His church, that they would not be of the world. They are not of the world. I don't care; you're not American; you're not Swedish; you're not European; you're a Christian. And if you're a Christian, your spirit is from up there; so it makes you live holy, want to be holy, want to act like Christ, act like God. Your whole desire is on heaven and not of the world.

L-70 (One more comment, if you will, just a moment. We got exactly ten minutes to get out in time.) Then what happened to Lot when he took his choice? What happened? Chaos set in right away. What was it? Some kings come down, and took Lot, and took him (Sodom), and took their wives, and took everything, and left with it.
Watch Abraham in the 14th chapter now. The blessed Spirit of Christ upon him, he went after his fallen brother. The Spirit of Christ on Abraham, he went after his fallen brother and brought him back. Abraham, the preacher of righteousness, went after his fallen brother, the denominational brother, and brought him back. Brought him back so he'd have another chance after Satan had took him out, brought him back to have fellowship again.

L-71 And what--what great regards did Lot give to it? Did he go...?... on out with Abraham saying, "Father Abraham, I've been wrong. I know now I've missed the blessings. I got carried away out there, went out in the world. Now, I--I know. I know you--you've brought me back. I appreciate it. I'll go and take the way with the Lord's despised few." No, he went right back down in Sodom again and there polluted--into Sodom. Is that right?
But watch Abraham (just in closing now). What a beautiful thing it was. When Abraham returned from the slaughter of the kings, watch what happened. Melchisedec come out to meet him. Melchisedec, which was the King of Salem, the King of peace, the King of righteousness.

L-72 Who was He? He had no father; He had no mother. He wasn't Jesus, 'cause Jesus had both father and mother. But this Man had no father, had no mother. If you want to run that down, take Hebrews, 7th chapter. He had no father, no mother, never did begin Life and never did end Life. He was the King of Salem, which was the King of Jerusalem, which is King of peace, which is King of righteousness; without mother, without father, without descent, with neither beginning of years or ending of Life.
It was God. Sure it was. He came down in the form of Melchisedec, and He met Abraham (Watch, this is a beautiful part.) after the battle was over. Abraham, the preacher of righteousness, that had went into the formals, and out in the ungodly thing, and snatching for his brother, to bring him back. "Come back, brother, come back." Did it do Abraham's revival any good? No. Lot fell right back over in Sodom again. There he perished in disgrace with his daughters, and so forth. He perished there.
