<TITLE>12. Par 116-123</TITLE>L-116   Abraham's super Seed, He was, super Son. Abraham had one son, he begot that by the natural flesh, that was Isaac. Then he had another Son, and that Son was by faith, that was Jesus; He was the Son of Abraham, Son of David, Son of God. He foresaw it in the vision. Faith in His promised Word, showed in the last... to show forth, in these last days, Abraham. We're supposed to be Abraham's Seed. If we are dead in Christ, we are Abraham's Seed; and heir with Him, according to the promise. Now, why was this super sign given to Abraham? Because that it would bring forth the super sign of the last day. It has to be displayed.

L-117   God showed Abraham the end from the beginning, and what was going to take place; God manifested in Man, His super faith Son. Man that could not destroy this Son; they could destroy Isaac, they could destroy Jacob, and the successors after them, but this super Son could not be destroyed. Abraham, the Seed of Abraham, this faith, that, not the natural seed, but the faith that Abraham received, not by the law of circumcision; but by the faith in the Word, Abraham's super faith Son, which was Jesus Christ. Now, all his other sons died, but this Son could not be killed. He was killed, but could not stay dead. The grave could not hold Him. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-118   Notice Genesis 22:16 and 17, up on the mount where God showed Abraham to go, and there He saw a ram hooked by his horns, in the wilderness. Notice, quickly now. After he had took Isaac and bound him, which was his natural son, laid him upon the--the altar, to take his life; and then he started to take his life, in obedience of love to God. And, when he did, something happened. He heard a Voice, saying, "Abraham, stay your hand, for I know that thou loves Me." And then he heard a--a ram blat, hooked by its horns in the wilderness, behind him. And he called the name of the place Jehovah-jireh.

L-119   Notice, God said, "And your seed," the seed of Abraham now, "would possess the gates of its enemies." He would take the gates, possess the gates. He promised it. Now, his natural seed did just that. All of Abraham's natural seed was the prophets that come after him.

L-120 There was Moses, Abraham's seed, and, when he did, he came to the gate, in a line of duty. He come to the gate of the Red Sea, after teaching the children of Israel of the promised land that God had promised. He was God's prophet. He had been manifested before the people, as God's prophet. God created, by him. God did all kinds of signs and wonders, by him. And he stayed just exactly with God's Word, because he sought God, first. And he knew his position. He knowed he was born for that age, to manifest the Word of God at that time. And then, right in the line of duty, he come up against something that he knowed not what to do, that was the Red Sea. Well, what happened? The seed of Abraham was promised to possess the enemies' gates. So when the Red Sea become a gate that he couldn't come through, God moved upon the scene and took the gate and went away with it, and Moses walked across the sea on dry land. His seed possessed the gate.

L-121   The Hebrew children possessed the gates at the fiery furnace that could not even burn them.

L-122 Daniel possessed the enemies' gates at the lions' mouths that could not be opened to eat him.

L-123 Samson, one time caught in the... A bunch of people had fenced him in the city. And, when he did, he pulled those great big gates out of the rocks, put them upon his shoulders and walked up the top of the hill. Why was he? He was still in the covenant, his locks was still hanging on him. The promise was still there, "And he'll possess the gates of his enemy." Amen. Sure, certainly.
All these died, fine warriors of the faith. They all died.
