<TITLE>17. Par 123-127</TITLE>L-123 Abraham called anything contrary, wrong. Romans, the 4th chapter, if you're putting it down. Abraham called anything contrary to God's Word, as though it wasn't. That's right. He believed in God, was strong, no matter how weak his body got, how impossible it seemed that it wasn't going to happen, Abraham kept on believing it. Now, he didn't have to get down at the altar and say, "If don't come right now, I'm going to do... I don't know whether to believe it or not." Abraham stayed with it for twenty-five years before it come, but it got there. It always does.

L-124 Abraham, come Isaac; Isaac, come Jacob; out of Jacob come the patriarchs; out of the patriarchs, went into Egypt, in Egypt, growed a nation. Then when He got His nation growed up, His achievement, what did He do? God separated them again. Unbelief and faith can't go together. No, sir. He separated them again for His Own. What did He do to them to be sure that they was led right? Listen close now; we haven't got too much more time now, maybe another fifteen minutes. He led them close. Watch, He raised up a nation, put them under tutors and things. They were beat and crying, and crying and going on. But God was looking down; He remembered every promise He give Abraham. One day He--He thought... What did He do to them? What did He do when He separated them? He give them a law and He give them a prophet; He give them a Pillar of Fire. What did He do? (Oh, God.) He set His church in order: a Pillar of Fire, Spirit to lead them, a prophet who would tell them the truth of His Word. They were ready for the journey then. Isn't that wonderful?

L-125 Out into the wilderness they went, performing signs and wonders, opening up the Red Sea, calling the plagues of hell down on Pharaoh. Oh, my. A Pillar of Fire moving before them (Amen.), led them by the night and by the day. Hallelujah. A prophet, true to that Word, standing there keeping them lined up. Amen. He was ready to take His children then. That was the first time they was ever called a church. It was a type of what He's going to do in the last days. We'll get to that again just in a minute. He called them out, give them a law, give them His Word; He give them a prophet; He give them a sign; and He sent them into the wilderness, separated them from the rest of the world.
What did they do? Saw the pretty women of Moab, a lukewarm church with gods and goddesses and everything else. What did they do? Went for them, married in among them. That's right, it's exactly right. I imagine those pretty little Moabite women were really beautiful.

L-127 I got a prophecy laying at home, one of these days I'm going to read it. And you wonder why I rap at women the way I do. Thirty years ago... I've got THUS SAITH THE LORD. Thirty years ago when I entered the ministry, He told me that the strain of women would come so immoral and imputed, in the last days they'd be the most defiled thing on the earth. Right. She started it at the beginning and Satan use her at the end. And look what is happening, look down through the years, Said, "She'll continue to strip herself." And said, "There'll just be a little tiny group, of the very elected that's predestinated will escape that."
When that vision come, I was worried then. I thought, "Women..." I turned back over in the Bible to Isaiah the, I believe the 5th chapter, and It said, "The branch that has escaped from... The daughters of Zion in that day will be beautiful to the Lord."
