<TITLE>10. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 Notice, He placed him, give him the sign, what He was. And you remember, it was God Almighty. It wasn't the Man. That was just human flesh there, disappeared just in a little bit, but it was God, making Hisself known to the elected, called out, separated church. Remember, not an organizated town, not a city, but a group that was wandering in the desert, taking the way with the Lord's despised few. Like always, God's had to call His children into the wilderness and away from these things.
Called him, showed that sign to him and moved on. And Abraham believed and immediately he was changed. When that Angel left the scene, Abraham had a changed body, and made ready, and the son come that had been promised.

L-31 One of these days, the old fashion gospel that you hear, will be silenced one of these days. And the church will receive a body, glorified. You'll have to have that kind of body to go up and meet Him in the air. We can't go in this kind of a body. So those who are looking, those who are listening, those who are taking heed, is the ones that'll be changed in a moment in a twinkling of an eye and be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air--the expected Son of God, that we've looked for since we've... can recognize that we were Christians.
Remember, we proved that last night, how he went down to Gerar, how that Sarah, an old woman a hundred years old... Usually, I get a letter or two off of that, saying, "Well, they just lived longer life." But I want you to notice the 18th chapter and 17th Chapter also. The Bible said they were well stricken in years: stooped, bent down, old. And when they got down there, Abimelech, that king looking for a sweetheart with all of those Philistine beautiful women, and yet fell in love with this real old, old, old, great, great grandmother, and would have took her for a wife, but God protected her.

L-32 I want you to notice here, something, sister... Do you know Sarah loved Abraham so much till she, that beautiful woman, till she called him her Lord, which Paul later said, "Whose daughter you are as long as you obey the truth."
Sarah didn't dress in the fashions of the day, like Miss Lot did. She was probably the head leader of all the societies there was down there. Her husband was mayor of the city. So I suppose she was... In their big church, of a morning when the bells rang and they all went out there, I imagine she was pretty well known woman. She didn't want to leave that; she was earthbound.

L-33 That's the way people today don't want to hear about the coming of the Lord Jesus. Why, it's the most glorious thing I can think of: for Him to split the skies right now! Let's get over it! Why wouldn't I change this old dried up, wrinkled, old age creaked over body that's full of corruption, nothing but skin worms could eat it up... And take this soul in there that loves God and unite in a brand new twenty-one year old William Branham that'll never be old, and never, never have a heartache, or never die, never be sick, to live with the elected through the ages throughout all eternity, why, I couldn't think of anything any greater.
That's why I want you to read this Witness here, this little thing. I saw it; I know it's the truth. I shook hands there, and it was people who were... that I knowed. And I was standing looking at myself, laying there on the bed, and here I was standing... It ain't very far away. We don't have very far to go. 'Cause I was standing here just as real as I'm standing at this pulpit. And I thought, "Now here... There I am laying there, and how could I be standing here (just the same as I am right now)?" And there was people; every one of them beautiful. I can see those women...
