<TITLE>23. Par 81-84</TITLE>L-81 So then He comes down close, sets down, and they begin to talk, and after eating... You know two of Them went down into Sodom to preach to the lukewarm church. Did you know that? They had a revival down there. And isn't it strange that in this last day... Now, One of Them stayed back and talked to the church elected, Abraham and his elected group. How many understands that now say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen"--Ed.] And other went down and talked to Lot to get him out of Sodom, because he was a righteous man. All that understands that say, "Amen." ["Amen"] The Bible teaches us that Abraham represented the church elected like the seed of Abraham (See?), believing Abraham, separated hisself--believing God, separating hisself from the world, come through justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, then a placing of the gifts, sons in the body. Now, He's waiting. See how far we've come along?

L-82 Now, here the Angel comes down in human flesh: God, Elohim. Does it say Elohim, capital L-o-r-d there? Read Genesis 18 and see if it is. Elohim came down in human flesh, eat like a man, drink milk like a man, eat the flesh of a calf like a man, eat butter and corn bread like a man. Now, if you want to argue, then argue with Him.
Notice what happened. And there was One stayed back to Abraham, and the other went down to preach to the lukewarm church, a modern Billy Graham.
Did you notice how strange in this last days, how A-b-e-r-h-a-m, the one the covenant was made with, and a man in his covenant preaching to the lukewarm church: G-r-a-h-a-m? Did you ever think how strange that was? Not Billy Sunday, but (See?) G-r-a-h-a-m, the messenger to the lukewarm church to call them out of Sodom... And One stayed back with Abraham.

L-83 Watch what the--the one done went down and preached. What did he do? He screamed, Come out. What did he do? Not many miracles, wasn't very much done. Only He blinded their eyes. And preaching the Gospel blinds the eyes of the unbeliever. What was it? He blinded their eyes so they couldn't find the door. That's what's the matter now. They don't know the Door, the Glory of Jesus, the living Holy Ghost to the Church. Amen. Preached all right, but he blinded them from that door.
"The days of miracles is passed, but He's still God and so forth."
"Get out of here, 'cause I'm going to burn it up. That's right."
Watch that One that stayed back with Abraham; He give--He give a sign back there too. O God...

L-84 Women in them days were not like they are today; (every time somebody comes up, some man), they have to get on their shorts around cutting grass, and, you know, tending to the husband's business and everything. They stayed back in the tent where they belonged. If they take all the women out of these offices around here with husbands and all...?... work, and they put them, where they belong, and take these women police off the street, a disgrace to this... stain on the flag and put them back, men would have work.
The Angel set down and begin to talk to Abraham and said, "I guess you know why I come down." Now, watch. He didn't say, "Abram..." He said, "Abraham..." Why, just a few days before that he was Abram. "Abraham, where is your wife Sarah (S-a-r-a-h)?" See if that's right. Just about two days before that he'd just been given that name. How did He know that his name was Abraham, and how did He know that his wife's name was Sarah. See, she hadn't run out and got in her husband's business. So... See?
Abraham... Now, listen. The Bible, I'm quoting the Bible, said, "She is in the tent behind You." Is that right? Now, watch.
