<TITLE>19. Par 77-80</TITLE>L-77 Notice. Abraham, when it come to the time of separation, him and Lot, Lot went down in Sodom. And then it come to this place there where God was going to manifest Himself. And one day Abraham, setting in his tent door...
He represented the church spiritual. Now, there's three classes of people: the unbeliever, make-believer, and believer. Now, the unbeliever was the Sodomite. The make-believer was Lot, the normal church, the denominational church. And the... Abraham represented the church elected, called-out, separated. He wasn't in Sodom to begin with. Oh, my. Watch. That Angel never went to that other church. He come to the elected church.

L-78 Three of Them come up. And watch. When They come up, Abraham went out and said, "My Lord, come by. Set down," setting in his tent door. There was something about those Men. They were Strangers, dust on Their clothes. But what it was, was God Himself and two Angels. That's what the Bible said. Abraham called Him "Lord, Elohim." That's right. Lord God, Jehovah, the self-existing One. And He come up, and He set down, and They talked with Abraham.
And two of Them got up and went down into Sodom. And Abraham pleaded for Sodom. If He could find fifty, if He could find twenty, on down if He could find ten, and He promised to spare them for ten. Notice.
Down in Sodom went two messengers, not doing any signs and wonders, a modern Billy Graham. The only thing He done was blind them; and preaching the Gospel blinds the unbeliever. Notice. And he... They preached the Gospel and called out Lot. And his wife turned around and looked back. We know the story.

L-79 But that one that stayed with Abraham, watch Him. He was setting with His back to the tent, and He said, "Where..." Now, you remember, he had been Abram till just the day before, and she'd been S-a-r-a-i the day before. But now, it's S-a-r-a-h, and he's A-b-e-r-h-a-m. He said, "Abraham, where is your wife Sarah?" S-a-r-a-h.
Said, "She's in the tent behind You."
And He said, "I'm going to visit you according to the time of life."
How'd He know he was married? How'd He know he had a wife; and how'd He know her name was Sarah? But you notice, "I..." "I'm going to visit you" according to the promise that He'd made. "I" is a personal pronoun. It was God. See? And--and He said, "The time of life with Sarah. It's going to be... She's going to have the baby now." She was right at a hundred years old.
And Sarah on the inside, laughed. And the Angel setting on the outside with His back turned to her, said, "Why did Sarah laugh? saying within herself, 'These things can't be?'" What kind of a telepathy was that? And finally, the Man gave the sign.
And Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man."

L-80 Isn't it strange, they got a man, the only time in all the history of the world, out there amongst the denominational churches, with a name something like Abraham: A-b-e-r-h-a-m, G-r-a-h-a-m. Strange, isn't it, church natural is getting its visit?
What's God trying to show? What did He do there? That was God in a body of flesh, showing that God would be in His church in the last days, in a body of flesh, a body of human beings, in His flesh, and would manifest the same thing. Because, if the Jews had that... That was the last sign that the Jews got. That was the last sign that Abraham got before the fire fell. And here it is, down to the same time today.
