<TITLE>03. Par 29-39</TITLE>L-29 See, the Bible is a supernatural Book. It's written so that it's hid from the schools, theologian. How many knows that? Jesus thanked God. He said, "I thank Thee, Father, Thou hast hid It from the wise and prudent, and revealed It to babes such as would learn." It's a Book of love. When the love of God comes into the heart, then you fall in love with God, then He reveals Hisself, the Bible meaning. The interpretation of the Bible is God Himself interpreting His promises. But, the Bible, It's written between the line.

L-30   Now, like my wife, oh, she is the most wonderful woman in all the world, and I really love her. She loves me. So when I'm away from home, she'll write me a letter, say, "Dear Bill, tonight I just put the children to sleep. I've washed today, and what all she done, and so forth." Now she is saying that on the letter. But, you see, I love her so much, and we're so much of being one, till I--I can read between the lines. I know what she wants to say, see, whether she tells me that or not, see. I--I know what she means, because it's my love for her, and my understanding.

L-31 Well, that's the way the Bible is wrote. See? The--the scholarship will go right over the top of it; they'll never get it. See, you've got to be in love with the Word, Him, "to know Him." See?

L-32   Now, now in here, watch what He did. Now Abraham and Sarah was both old, "well-stricken," the Bible said. Now it wasn't just because they were just people lived longer there. The Bible said that, "They were well-stricken in age."

L-33 Now notice, immediately after this angel appeared, we been talking about; which was Elohim, God. And He said, told Abraham, "I'm going to visit you according to the time of life." Now watch all down through, they were a type of the Church, all the way through.

L-34 Now look. Here is what happened. Now, He didn't just patch Sarah up, and patch Abraham up. He turned them back to a young man and woman. Now that may seem strange, but now watch the rest the Word, and put it together. The Word is inspired, and you have to be inspired with the Word. Now, remember, immediately after that, immediately after the appearing of this Angel...

L-35 I can just see that, that gray hair of Sarah, little grandma with a shawl over her shoulder, and a little dust cap, holding a stick, going around. "Me, having pleasure with my lord, and him old, too?" See? And here was Abraham, this long beard, holding on a stick, as he was, well-stricken in age.

L-36 And I see, the next morning, his shoulders begin to straighten up, the hump come out of his back. Her hair begin to turn. They went back to a young man and woman. Just showing what He is going to do to the Royal Seed of Abraham, see, when we're "changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, and be caught up together."

L-37   Watch what happened. Now let me prove this to you. Now they taken a trip from that place they were at, there at Gomorrah; and went all the way to Gerar, down in the Philistine land. Did you notice? Mark it on the map, how far it is. Quite a journey for an old couple of that age.

L-38 And then, besides that, in--in the Philistine land there, there was a young king by the name of Amalek, and he was looking for a wife. And he had all those beautiful Philistine girls, but when he seen grandma, he said, "She is fair to look upon," and he fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. That's right. Uh-huh. See, she was beautiful. See?

L-39 She had turned back to a young woman. Notice, she had to, to bring that child. God made her a new creature. And she had to, to raise this child. And remember, Abraham, "his body as good as dead," and Sarah died when Abraham was... Isaac was forty-five years old, I believe, when Sarah died. And Abraham married another woman and had seven sons besides the daughters, after that. Ha-ha! Amen.
