<TITLE>16. Par 152-156</TITLE>L-152 And you know, God said, "Now, to make the people in days to come (the Seed of Abraham) know, your seed know that I keep My promise to any man that'll hold onto My Word, I'm going to give him a test."
When the little boy got about fourteen years old. I imagine, little shaggy hair and pretty little eyes. Oh, how that happy father and mother... You know how you parents are with your child, only child. Then God said to Abraham... Now, He wouldn't tell it to Sarah, because Sarah was the weaker vessel. And so He said, "Abraham, I want you to take this little boy that I've give you, the one that I'm going to make you a father of many nations by, and I want you to take him up on the mountain that I'm going to show you tonight in a vision, and there kill him": destroy the only hope that there was for him to be a father of nations, for God to keep His Word. God said, "I've made you a father of nations." He's waited now all these years, till he's a hundred years old, hundred and fourteen years old. "And here's the little boy now, and the only evidence that you've got that I will keep My Word, you go up and destroy it. I'm still going to make you a father of nations by this child."

L-154 "And Abraham," said, "he staggered not at the promise of God. He knowed that he received him as one from the dead. Knowed, if God promised so, He could raise him up from the dead."
And then we're the Seed of Abraham? And one little theological error can bust in the way to be popular with the rest of the men and women, you go to it instead of staying with the Word. Shame on you. Some big organization, what does that mean to God? He'll sweep it off like that. [Brother Branham snaps his fingers--Ed.] He's away from it, has been since they organized, every one of them, and always will be. Not the individuals in there, but the organizational system, it's against God. Every church that's organized is the mother or a daughter of the Catholic organization. The Bible said so, Revelations 17, "The old whore, and her harlot daughters..." Exactly right.

L-156 We've got her setting right here now over our nation. Shame on you fine Democrats that sold your birthrights out. All right, we'll just let it go, this, till I come back. Notice. I'm running late. Don't your Christ mean more to you than your politics? You ought to do what Abraham Lincoln said. All right. Notice, on we go.
Now, God said, "You take the little fellow, take him up there at the top of the mountain."
Now, you want to know whether Abraham was a young man or not? He went three-day's journey with the child, with the wood, with the servants, and the donkey. Now, any man, ordinary man... I used to patrol high lines, used to walk when I was game warden; and I can walk, easy, thirty miles a day. And we got gasoline feet, we call it. But them men, their only transportation is by foot or ride a donkey. And here they was with a little slow donkey; and we can out-walk him. And here he was, three-day's journey, and then lifted up his head and saw the mountain far off yet. He must've been around a hundred miles from civilization, way back in the desert. Now, listen and notice.
