<TITLE>28. Par 284-297</TITLE>L-284 Sodom and Gomorrah! Jesus referred to both of them as coming. "Before the coming of the Son of man, so shall it be like the days of Noah, so shall it be in like it was in the days of Sodom." He referred to Noah.

L-285 Noah had Three Pulls, and his Third was to the lost after the door was shut. For, God let it sit right there, where nobody could enter or go out. They were inside. For, (as on the seventh mountain) the highest mountain, that's where He settled the ark, mountain. See? That right?

L-286   In the days of Sodom, the First Pull was the righteous Lot. And the Bible said, "The sins of Sodom vexed his righteous soul daily," how them women acted and done.

L-287 You remember, "As it was in the days of Noah." What was they doing? "Eating, drinking, marrying, given in marriage." Women, see, women. What was it in the days of--of Sodom? Women.

L-288 And the First message was Lot. They laughed him to scorn.

L-289 Then they sent another messengers, two of them, and they went down. That was His Second Pull for Lot... for Sodom.

L-290 But look at that One that went last, there's more and more mercy. It was all over then, all over at that time. That third Messenger that went down there, the Third Pull, what was He? What kind of a ministry did He have? He set with the elected, and told them what was taking place behind Him. That right? But when He stepped off into Babylon, or into Sodom, He wanted to find...

L-291 Even Abraham, crying, "If I could find fifty righteous?" On down to "ten righteous?"
God said, "Yes, find ten righteous."

L-292   Let me tell you something, sister, just a minute. You might be old-fashioned, but you got something these sex queens hasn't got. You've got something that she can never have. Right. You might be old-fashioned in your dressing, dress up like a lady. They might say, "Look at that old holy-roller." Don't you worry. She's got something that that little old sex queen, that's got all the world looking at her out there, she hasn't got it. She can never have it. She is lost, Eternally. She is doomed. See? She's never... You got moral; you got virtue. She's got nothing. She's got a bait that traps the lost souls into hell. The blind walks into it. Now, you've got something.

L-293   You know, you might not be even on a church book, but it might be your righteous life that's holding the wrath of God from the world today. The world won't believe it. You woman that's called holy-roller, you little man that don't hardly know anything, but you cry to God, day and night, for the sins of the country, you might be the one that's holding off the wrath. "If I can find ten, I'll spare it. If I can find ten!" "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be." See what I mean?

L-294 Not, "If I can find ten Methodists, if I can find ten Baptists, if I can find ten Pentecostals, if I can find ten athletes, if I can find ten senators, if I can find ten ministers."

L-295 But, "If I can find ten righteous!" There is One righteous, that's Christ. Christ living in One, them ten, see, "I'll spare it."

L-296   But that last Messenger preached to the doomed. You say... He went down there. Scripture don't say what happened, but the fire fell the next morning, right, after He performed those signs, immediately after He performed His prophecy ministry. "Why did Sarah laugh?"
She said, "I didn't."
Said, "Yes, you did." See?

L-297 Now, immediately after that, He entered Babylon, or went down into Sodom. He never found them, so the fire fell. He found Lot and his two daughters, said, "Get out of here right now." See? It went out. He went down there. Remember, He was on His road down. He sent messengers before Him, but He went down Himself, right, to find out if all this thing was so. And He found it full of what? Painted-faced women. The Message to the doomed. What'd they do? Laughed at it.
