<TITLE>23. Par 78-80</TITLE>L-78 Now, He didn't do any miracles there. He walked away, because He knowed Philip was coming right down and do the miracle right behind Him. You see? So He just left that alone, walked away. They knowed that was Messiah. That was enough. The miracles would take place as long as you recognize the Messiah.
Now, look. Now, we've had two thousand years of theology, like the Jews had four thousand years. God from the Gentiles will take a--a people for His Name. Do you believe that? All right.
Now, do you believe we're at the evening time? Now, look what Jesus said over here. I'm going to quote from you--from Luke 17:28. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Sodom (Now, I'm closing.), in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." How many ever read that? "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be when the Son of man comes." Now, it can't--it--it can't fail. He said it. See? Now, notice.
Now, He went ahead and told about Noah, how they were eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, the immorals of it. And then said, likewise, as it was in the days of Sodom will it be at His coming.

L-79 Notice. At the days of Sodom... Now, wait. There was a man who had been called by election: Abraham. He was just an ordinary man. God called him when he was sixty-five years old. He was seventy-five, and his wife was sixty-five, and told him they was going to have a baby. And he believed that Word for twenty-five years. And he was a hundred, and his wife was ninety, and the baby come.
Wished I had time to go through that in a little study with you for about a week. Oh, my. I believe that Indian faith would go plumb out of the top of the Tabernacle there if we just (See?), to lay that out.
I just come through Grass Valley down there. Oh, my. And in Grass Valley, where the tapes and things had been played, prior to the coming... And I took that... I didn't pray for anybody, just leave it alone. And took that and laid that Abraham's seed, and Abraham's faith and Abraham's seed...

L-80 Not only God promised Abraham, but his seed after him. And we are Abraham's seed, and we are in Christ. We're the Royal Seed of the promise. And what did Abraham do? Called those things which were not as though they were, because God said so. My. Now, you see, when God told him, said, "Abraham, you're going to have a baby by your wife."
Now, remember, at sixty-five she's about fifteen, twenty years past menopause, change of life. See? Now, he had lived with her since she was eighteen years old, and there was no baby. She was sterile... She was barren; he was sterile. No baby, and yet, God said, "You're going to have it." And Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise to God. That's right.
What about his children? That was the natural seed. How about the royal seed through Christ, by the same faith that he received to get him by? Amen. Oh, my. That'd pack you up yonder above and beyond the moon, and stars; and run you up the Milky White Way. Yes, sir. Past Jupiter, Venus, and Mars, and go on. On that faith, you see, Abraham's faith... Notice.
