<TITLE>19. Par 77-81</TITLE>L-77 Let's go down through the age since then. Tell me whenever you ever seen a man go out into Babylon... Now, Abraham received that sign, and look at them Angels that went down there. And today the messenger to the lukewarm church, the denominational church, is spelled not A-b-e-r-h-a-m, but G-r-a-h-a-m. We've had Sankey, Finney, Knox, Calvin, so forth, but never anything ending with a h-a-m to that church. See?

L-78 Now, there's a Angel stayed back to show His identification, which was God Himself in human flesh, showed His identification here. He said, "Abra-ham (Now, just a few days before that he was Abram.)," and said, "where is thy wife, S-a-r-a-h?" Which, just a day or two before that, she was S-a-r-a-i. "Where is thy wife, Sarah?"
And now, the Angel said, "She's..." Or Abraham said, "She's in the tent behind You." Now, women acted a little different then than they do now. See? So they--she was in the tent behind Him.
So He said, "I'm going to visit you according to the time of life." Now, look, "I," that personal pronoun again. You see, see who it was. He'd made the promise, "I'm going to visit you according to the time of life, and you're going to have this child of promise," and so forth. And Sarah, inside the tent, laughed up her sleeve. She said...

L-79 Now, she was old, well-stricken as... You're my... You listen to your doctor; I'm your brother. It's... Family relationship had probably been fifteen, twenty years. See? Said, "Me, an old woman, have--have pleasure with my lord, and him old too?" And she laughed to herself.
And the--the Man setting there with His back turned to the tent said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" in the tent. What about that? See, Jesus said as it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man, that God would manifest Himself in flesh, human flesh again. See, God above us (the Pillar of Fire), God with us (Jesus Christ, the Son of God), now God in us, the Holy Ghost in the last days in human flesh.
Abraham come through the days seeing signs and wonders of God, but never did he... Just as he saw that sign, immediately after that the fire fell and burned up Sodom. The last sign that Abraham seen of God before the fire fell, the last sign that Israel rejected was the same sign.

L-80 Now, the Gentile church has come to their time. Now, we're looking for a Messiah. And if that's the way He acted before that, in that day, He has to act the same today. If He lets us go in without it, then He isn't the same. And then He doesn't act the same, and He's a respect of persons. See what I mean? He's got to do the same thing again. So that makes Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-81 Civilization has traveled with the sun. We all know that. Oldest civilization is China and constantly... And as civilization comes, sin heaps up, keeps heaping. And now it's hit the west coast. There's a sound barrier, or an iron curtain separating the east and west. There's no more people out there in the ocean. You go plumb on over till you get to east again. And sin has constantly came.
When the Indian lived here, he had no sin. He had a little tribal wars. But when the white man had come, he brought whiskey, women, murder, and everything else. And sin has constantly heaped up. And as sin heaps up... The Bible said when the enemy comes in like a flood, God would raise up a standard against it. The Word of God would raise up a standard. The Word would be more manifested, more manifested.
The Holy Ghost struck first on the west coast, some cross-eyed colored man, down here in California. Holy Ghost struck on California with speaking in tongues. Then came Divine healing campaign, and here we are at the end time. Hallelujah. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever... You believe it? Let us bow our heads just a moment.
