<TITLE>17. Par 71-74</TITLE>L-71 Now, we find here that this Man as soon as they talked to Abraham, I want you to notice. Two of Them went down into Sodom to see if they could find as many as ten righteous people in that en... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...ation of people. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] They couldn't do it. But One stayed behind. Now, don't miss this. One stayed behind and talked to Abraham. The One that stayed behind give Abraham a sign. And Jesus referred to that sign and said it would be the same in the Gentile day. Now, we've been taking all through the week, what Jesus was, showing His Messiah sign to the people, but He never one time did that before Gen... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... just as they'd four thousand years. But now, we are the ones that's looking for a coming Messiah. Now, He's got to do the same thing.

L-72 Now, watch what this One done, the One that stayed behind with Abraham. He gave him a sign. And watch what the sign was. Now, Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom..." Now, spiritual minds, be real reverent here. You and you on the floor, first balcony, and second balcony, remember. He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." How many says, "Amen" to that. That's what... [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] All right.
Now, let's just see what happened? For the day... Now, remember, the days of Sodom was just before the world was destroyed, or the--the wickedness was destroyed by fire. Now, do you believe the world will be destroyed by fire at His coming? The Bible said so. The whole heavens and earth will be on fire. Men will do it themselves, 'cause God destroys nothing. Man destroys hisself by his knowledge, his shrewdness, his education, always has done it. Created gun power, create atomic bombs, automobiles, that's what kills him. See?
Now, notice, he will destroy the whole world by his own knowledge, that tree in the garden that he left the Tree of Life to eat off that tree of knowledge, science, been climbing it ever since.

L-73 Notice. Now. We find that--that Abraham, when he come to this spot in his--in his life to where he had to see this great sign to take place, Jesus referring to it; as it was in that day, so will it be at the coming of the Son of man.
Now, watch, there's always three classes of people; that's believers, make-believers, and unbelievers, always: sin, and professed Christians, and real Christians. And they're always separated one from the other.

L-74 Now, look. Sodom was sinners. They were perverted, just like the world is today. Great portions of this nation is completely gone. And as I said, "We're just being honeycombed with communism and everything." Every ism, it's... Many of you, if you'd put a righteous President in every county in the whole United States, it's still gone. She'll never rise again, THUS SAITH THE LORD. 1956 she made her fatal move. Now, and she took well on her way about three months ago.
Now, she's gone. Write it in your Bible; see if it's right. 1933, one morning going to the Baptist tabernacle, I went into a trance, saw a vision. I saw President Roosevelt was going to help lead the world to a world war, told it that morning. They was going to lock me up for it. And I said, "They'll go to war with Germany." Eleven years before the Maginot Line was built, I said, "There..." in that same vision I saw Germany fortified in concrete. And America took a terrible beating there, and many of you boys know what happened, was there.
