<TITLE>12. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 Now, if we kinda slack up and say... Satan say, "Come right over on this side. I'll reason that out with you." Oh, oh, you got from behind Father then. See? Don't you do that. You stay right where Father stands, right where it stand and says, "THUS SAITH FATHER," See? "THUS SAITH MY FATHER, THUS SAITH MY FATHER." It's going to defeat him as sure as the world. It's got to. All right. But when you get out from behind that, like Eve did, the battle's lost.
Now, poor Eve, she listened; she lost her place. All right. And then God chose man to hold His fort, and he has ever since. That's where many times people in these last days sometimes say, "Why could you not think that the lady could do just as good a job in the pulpit as the man?" I'm not disputing that, not at all. Sometimes a lot better than I could, many of them. But you see, we have to take what God did. See? Right there, Eve was the one who broke down the bars. And Adam did not break the bars. No, sir. But to--because he loved his wife, he walked right out with her. See? So God chose man to hold the fort.

L-39 Now, the next we find out then, after the battle was lost there, at the time of destruction come to them. The next time there was a change of the dispensations. From that time, we know how the battle went. We know that Eve lost the battle because she relied upon her reasonings instead of her faith in God's Word. Let's repeat that. She relied upon her own reasonings instead of having faith in God's Word. It reasoned out. Therefore, she broke the front lines and the enemy rushed in. And then death struck the world. Now, therefore, God never did trust it again with the women to hold that front line. It was with men.

L-40 And now the next change of dispensation, the conflict started. And I'm looking at a Scripture here. I believe I'll just start and read it. How much time do we really--you really preach on just any... Just about--won't take just about six hours more, and we'll... And so we... I didn't mean that, folks. I... Let's start over here, you in your Bibles. Let's read just a few minutes. I just love to read it as I go along, and then it's God's Word all along.

L-41 Let's start at the change of the dispensations again from the Adam--Adamic dispensation until the Noahic dispensation. Now, now, just before that time comes, let's just look at the--at the--what's taking place. Let's start with the 6th chapter of Genesis and just read a few verses:
And it came to pass, when men begin to multiply on the face of the earth, and the daughters were born unto them,
And the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Now, let's just compare that. Now, remember Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man." Now, watch, reading this close now, just like a Sunday school lesson for just a verse or two, then I'll go right on with some more Scriptures.
 ... came to pass, when men begin to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them... (men, see),
... the sons of God saw the daughters of men... (Now, did you notice that?)... sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all... they chose... all which they chose.
