<TITLE>15. Par 56-58</TITLE>L-56 And so, the Angel setting there was watching Abraham. Now, remember his name was Abram just a day before that, just before it. And Sarah wasn't Sarah--Sarra, S-a-r-r-a, and it changed to S-a-r-a-h, and A-b-e-r-h-a-m. Abraham, father of nations; and Sarah, princess. So this was a strange Man. He had dust on His clothes. He was just dressed like an ordinary man. And He stood there, and He said, "Abraham..."
Now, He just come up and set down. Abraham went out and invited Him in. He was just an ordinary man, started to pass by. He said, "Come in, set down. I'll fetch a little water, and wash Your feet. And--and I'll give You a morsel of bread. Then--then You go on Your way." Abraham, I believe, kind of thought there was something strange there. See?
Oh, there's just something about it. You can just feel it, when He comes around. You can just tell when you're talking to Him.

L-57 Said, "Set down." And he got the fly bush and... How many of you southerners still know what a fly bush is? No, the race is fading out. Why, we never had a screen door till just recently. And had the old fly bush out there, you know, and watching him eat. And he killed a calf, and fed this Man some bread that Sarah had baked, and some veal chops, and had some milk, and He set there and eat, and he shooed the flies away while They was eating.
And so He kept looking over towards Sodom, and He said, "Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah?" Whew. They call it telepathy today. I mean, the modern name they want to call it. That's what they said Jesus was Beelzebub, a fortuneteller. What kind of a telepathy would that be?
"Abraham (called him by his national name, or international), Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah? (princess)." Watch it, how it's spelled. And now remember, the Scripture said she was in the tent behind the Man. And He said, "Abraham..." 'Course, Abraham was a hundred years old right then, and Sarah was ninety. So they were both well stricken in age. Sarah a little grandma-like, you know, and--and they'd been promised this baby, and she was waiting on it; and Abraham with beard hanging way down, stooped, you know, on his stick.
He said, "Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah?"
And Abraham said, "She's in the tent behind You."
He said, "Abraham I (I like that: 'I' is a personal pronoun.) I--I'm going to visit you, according to the time of life," that He'd promised. Now, you see Who that was.

L-58 And Sarah, in the tent... You know, we call it today "laughing up your sleeve," you know. She said, "Me, an old woman ninety years old, and my lord (which was her husband) out there is old, well stricken." Why, as husband and wife, they probably hadn't been as husband and wife for ten, twenty years. And to think, "Me, an old woman, and my husband an old man, and we're going to have pleasure together like young people?" And she laughed to herself.
And the Angel said, or, the Man said, "Why did Sarah laugh in the tent, saying these things can't be?" She tried to deny it. But He said, "Yes, you did."
Now, let me just drop a little--little note right here. I hope you people catch it, you people that believe in the God's grace. Right then God would've slew that woman of her unbelief. He wouldn't have fooled with her another minute. That--that was God, Himself. Now, you read, and see if it...
You say, "It was a man." Say, "Could God eat meat, and God do this?"
Exactly right. Abraham talked to Him. See if It isn't Elohim.
