<TITLE>12. Par 138-151</TITLE>L-138 Look at this woman in her estate, what condition she was in, a woman of ill fame, had six husbands, and here she was out there at the well. And that woman in that estate, look, quickly she said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. We haven't had a prophet for hundreds of years. I perceive that You are a prophet. We are looking for a Messiah, and, when this Messiah comes, this is His mark. He is going to do this when He comes." Amen. Oh, my!

L-139   There you are. That woman, in her condition, knowed more about the Word of God than half the preachers in the country does. That's right. That's right. She said, "I know, when the Messiah cometh, that's called Christ, when He comes, that's what He is going to do." If that was Him yesterday, that's Him today. See? That's how He identified Himself, both to the Jew and to the Samaritan. See? Notice, that was Him yesterday.

L-140 She said, "I know, when Messiah cometh, He'll tell us these things, but Who are You?"
He said, "I am He, that speaks to you."

L-141 Into the city she went, leaving that water pot. Said, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things I've done. Isn't that the very Messiah?"

L-142 That was His identification to His Jews, and to the Samaritan; but not to the Gentile, not one time to a Gentile. But in Luke, the 17th chapter, He said, "In the last days, as it was in the days of Sodom, when the Son of man will be being revealed, as it was like it was in the days of Sodom." Now, in the days of Sodom now. And we're closing. Notice, there was...

L-143   Always watch, there is always three classes of people, everywhere; one of them is believer, make-believer, and unbeliever. They're everywhere. Watch that.

L-144 Watch Jesus identifying Lot's time with His coming. Now watch, "As it was in the days of Lot." Now, what kind now? He referred then. He was reading the same Book of Genesis that we read. Jesus was. "Days of Noah," and, then, "as the days of Lot." Look back and see what they were doing in the days of Noah, and in the days of Lot, 'cause it's the same Scripture.

L-145   Now we notice, in the days of Lot, there was a man that had been called out from among the people. And he had a group with him, which represents the Church, spiritual. And that Church, spiritual, was Abraham's group.

L-146 Then he had one in there, his nephew, that left him, by the name of Lot, and went down and lived in Sodom. And the sins of Sodom vexed his soul; only, his wife wouldn't permit him to do anything about it. She belonged to all the clubs and things.

L-147 And there is just so many Lots sits around these days, and knows that the thing is wrong. But the woman church they belong to, if they'd say anything about it, would take away his card; so that's a meal ticket. So then, find out that this...

L-148   Now wait. Abraham was looking for a promised son, (that right?), a spiritual, promised son. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-149 Now, and Lot was down, done forgot about the son. He was just down living with his wife, and his kids, and all down in Sodom. He had become the mayor of the city, and he was a great fellow. His wife belonged to all the clubs. They were getting along pretty good.

L-150   And then notice that setting now. Now just give me just a minute or two longer, your attention, closely. Watch the setting. The world has never set in that position, since, like it is now, that perfect setting. Looky here, the called-out group. Now, there were three Angels come to Abraham, and two of them went down in Sodom. One of them stayed with Abraham, and the One that stayed with Abraham...

L-151 Them two went down in Sodom and preached repentence, and, "Get out of here! Get out of it," he said.
