<TITLE>13. Par 150-164</TITLE>L-150   We are told, in Zechariah 14:6 and 7, that, "There will come a day," prophet prophesied, "that they can't be called day nor night. It's a gloomy, dismal, dark day, "but in the evening time it shall be Light." The Bible said so.
Now look, in closing.

L-151 Geographically, the sun rises on the Eastern people, first. It rises in the East and sets in the West. Now follow me close. Civilization has traveled with the sun. We all know that, don't we? [Congregtion says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-152 So has the Gospel. The Gospel started in the East. It come from the East; across, over into Germany, across the Mediterranean, into Germany; from Germany, across the English Channel, into England; from there, across the Atlantic, into the United States, on the East Coast; and has traveled to the West Coast. Now the East and West has met.

L-153 And the same sun that rises in the East, is the same sun that sets in the West.

L-154 Now watch. The Son, S-o-n, rose as the Messiah, on the Eastern people.

L-155 And now we've had a day, since His going away, of denominations and gets together, and--and so forth. We've had enough light like a gloomy day when the sun is hid by clouds. And they've had denominations. We built hospitals. We built schools. We've built organizations. We've did all these things just exactly the way that we're supposed to do it.

L-156   But He said, "In the evening time it shall be Light." That same Jesus, in His resurrected power, will rise again, as He promised in Malachi 4, as He promised in Saint John 14:12. As He promised in Luke 17. "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man."

L-157 Look what happened in the days of Sodom. Abraham, one with the promise of the coming son, here we find him down there, and we see the sign that was done.

L-158   Down there in Sodom, we seen what taken place. And you know we've never... Now, there, Lot was a type of the church natural, down in Sodom, the organization, and they got a messenger down there. There was a couple of messengers went down there, a modern Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. And do you know what? There never has been a time, in the church history, where a man was ever sent universal to the church, with his name ending with h-a-m, till this time. Billy G-r-a-h-a-m, six letters. A-b-r-a-h-a-m is seven letters. But Billy G-r-a-h-a-m is right out there in Sodom, a banging away and calling them out.

L-159 But, remember, there was One to the church spiritual, who was out, Abraham the called-out. Watch what kind of sign He give. He never preached much of a Gospel; he just told them what the promises was near to be... And He said, "Where is Sarah?" Now, remember, she was Sarai the day before that, and he was Abram the day before that. Now He said, "Abraham, A-b-r-a-h-a-m, where is S-a-r-a-h?" not S-a-r-r-a. "Where is Sarah, "princess," thy wife, father of nations?"
Said, "She is in the tent, behind You."

L-160 And He said, "I am going to visit you according to the time of life."

L-161 A Man that eat the flesh of a calf, drank the milk from the cow, and eat corn cakes, drinking milk. A Man, dust on His clothes, and sitting there with His back turned to the tent. Said, "Where is Sarah thy wife?"
Said, "She is in the tent, behind You."

L-162 And Sarah said, "Me, an old woman as I am, hundred years old, as husband and wife had ceased long... have pleasure with my lord, and him old, too?" The Bible said "well stricken," been years and years. She was forty-five years past menopause, or longer than that, maybe fifty-five years past menopause. "And me have pleasure with my husband, as a young woman?" She laughed up her sleeve, you know.

L-163   And, that, what'd that Man, that Man in that human flesh, said, "Why did Sarah laugh?"

L-164 What happened? Abraham called that Man, "Elohim," Almighty God represented in a human being.
