<TITLE>18. Par 178-188</TITLE>L-178   Remember the last thing that taken place before Sodom was burned? The Lord was manifested in human flesh. Now, He was a Man. He eat meat and He drank the milk from the cow, and eat corn bread, and eat the calf of the cow, and stood there and eat. And yet Abraham, who talked to Him, said that it was "Almighty God." In human flesh? Yes. He was showing an example of what He was going to do in the last days. Jesus referred back to it.

L-179 And watch the ministry that He did. The first thing, He referred back to His promise. Hum! Do you see the theology side of it? See, He said, "I made you a promise, and now I'm here to confirm it." And now how we know that promise is... Watch that. They were waiting. Just before the fire fell, Abraham and Sarah was waiting for a promised son. God appeared in human flesh and done signs before them, that Jesus referred to would be the same thing at His Coming, that He the Son promised. And we've noticed that now for, going on, fifteen years.

L-180 And still the church gets worse. No wonder, we can actually see we're in the Laodicea Age.

L-181   Now the Holy Spirit is here. There may be ones in here... We're, we're, we have, we--we have been praying for the sick, but I'm making an altar call. I'm making an altar call to both professors and those who have never made a profession. I'm asking you to go with me to the temple of God, which is within you. Go to the confession booth of your heart, and say, "Lord God, cleanse me. And send the Angel, with a coal of Fire, and--and take from me all unbelief, that this night I might recognize the Presence of God, as Isaiah the prophet did when the Angel touched him." I want you to do that, and really be sincere.

L-182   And now we've got a promise for this age. We haven't been promised a great bunch of theology. We've been promised...

L-183 Look, the--the Hebrews had two thousand years of theology, but they had a sign given to them before they was destroyed. Lot and them had another sign give to them. They saw the same sign. And now if God lets the people... When Jesus was here, He made that same sign to the Hebrews, He made it to the Samaritans, and not to the Gentiles.

L-184 Now this is the end of the Gentile Age, like it was then to their age. The Gentile Church is being called. Now, God cannot change His program, because He is infinite, and He is perfect, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, and infinite. If He isn't, He isn't God. So, you see, He has got to do the same thing He did then. That's the reason they knowed in every generation that He manifested Himself, was the same way, knowing that He is the same.

L-185   Now, if Jesus Christ stood here, tonight, at this platform; if He stood here, the only thing that He would do, would be the same thing He did when He was back here, to make the people understand that He was the Son of God.

L-186 Now He is here. He promised to be here, and now the only way that He can work is by His promise. "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." And the branches bear record that the life is coming from the vine, or it doesn't have any life in it. But if it's energized by the life, it's got the same life that the vine has got. It's--it's compelling itself, or pushing itself up into the branch.

L-187   Now be reverent a moment. And may the God of Heaven help me, that, you on this sermon that I've preached, that when... Isaiah, that believer, when he come to the place that he had seen the failure of man who tried to represent God, then he saw God come down, and a reality to it, then he cried, "Woe is me!" Because, God had made the promise like that. He made it to each generation. He is making it to us, in this our generation. We see everything exactly in order for His Coming.

L-188 Now do you believe He is here? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now may He help me.
